text: Philadelphia's cultural canvas bears the distinct imprint of the Jews who have been creators, producers and patrons of the arts. Music, theater, food, literature, paintings, radio, television, newspapers: Philadelphia's Jews have been leaders in the creation and cultivation of every sphere. The Jewish influence is heard in the orchestrations of Eugene Ormandy and the klezmer trumpeting of Susan Watts. It's read in the literature of Chaim Potok and Jennifer Weiner. It's seen on buildings graced with painted tableaus created by Jane Golden's Mural Arts Program and on walls that glitter with Isaiah Zagar's mosaics. It comes through the radio courtesy of Jerry Blavat, who keeps us dancing, and Terry Gross, who keeps us thinking, and through television and movies created here because Sharon Pinkenson brought Hollywood to Philadelphia. And the Jewish influence is literally tasted at tables in nationally renowned restaurants created by Rich Landau, Marc Vetri and Michael Solomonov. In the past 125 years, the Jewish influence has been particularly strong in theater, in creating works for the stage and in providing stages for those performances. The modern era began with the unlikely renaissance of South Broad Street in the 1990s. Then-mayor Ed Rendell paved the way for the Avenue of the Arts, Sidney Kimmel sponsored it and Meryl Levitz, president/CEO of Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp., promoted it to the world. But the Jewish influence on Philadelphia's performing arts stretches back to the late 1880s and the introduction of Yiddish theater. Infused with the Yiddishkeit of the newly arrived Eastern European immigrants, the city became home to the Arch Street Theater and The Oriental, where Molly Picon, Jacob Adler and Boris Thomashevsky spoke and sang in the mamaloshen. "Yiddish theater producers, designers, playwrights, musicians, comedians, actors and audiences created a culture that morphed into what would become the heyday of American musical theater," says Linda Steinberg, director of education at the National Museum of American Jewish History. "All of that talent went to Broadway, then the Catskills, then Hollywood. We see echoes of it today in every single comedian — Jewish or not — who has that sense of Borscht Belt humor and the serious but lyrical scripts written by David Mamet and Tony Kushner." That Jewish talent is also on display in the productions staged by EgoPo, a Philadelphia theater company founded and directed by Lane Savadove. It's in evidence at the Wilma Theater through the work of Walter Bilderback, dramaturg and literary manager, and Sara Garonzik, the producing artistic director of the Philadelphia Theater Company, and Shira Beckerman, its managing director. And Yiddishkeit humor is in evidence at Marc Grossman's Helium Comedy Club. Because if all the world is a stage, we might as well laugh about it.

Up to three races have been scheduled daily through to the deciding day, Thursday 20 December. Over six days the normally tranquil waters off award-winning Hamilton Island will be peppered with the shouts and cheers of the very serious contenders, including current SB20 European champions, Russian Oleg Zherebtsov and his helm Rodion Luka (Raketa), and former class world champions Geoff Carveth (WKD) and Jerry Hill (sportsboatworld.com), both UK based.
Australia's hopes are riding on a number of proven and hungry countrymen, including Victoria's Chris Dare (Flirtatious), Tasmania's Nick Rogers (Karabos) and Hamilton Island's CEO Glenn Bourke (Club Marine), who fared well in last weekend's non-pointscore pre-worlds.
"We sailed really well on Saturday to win three of the four races then on Sunday Rodion pulled out his big guns and started playing hardball, he was very impressive," said Bourke, who has teamed up with Andrew York on the main and Mooloolaba's Greg Macallansmith on the bow.
Bourke believes that since last year's UK worlds the calibre of the SB20 fleet has lifted. "The top four or five are sailing incredibly in really well-prepared boats. It's going to be pretty tough."
Over 35 years of sailing, Nick Rogers has won seven international regattas and 24 Australian championships.
"My preparation for the worlds goes beyond racing…we've been out training and tuning the boat another three days a week for months now," said the Taswegian, whose crew for the worlds are young Hobart sailors Michael Viney and George Jones.
Chris Dare from Melbourne was the most dangerous in Hobart at a recent class meet and one of the organisers, Rod Jones, predicts he'll be a top ten finisher.
Bourke meanwhile has his money on a strong finale from Ian Brown (AUS) who has teamed up with London 470 gold medallist Malcolm Page, bowman Klade Hauschildt and Sabot and Flying 11 sensation, 14 year-old Finn Gilbert from Sydney, on One Design Sailing.
One of the more colourful Queensland entries is Mike McLean (Mountain Goat Racing), an Australian Rugby League legend from the mid-1980s and early 90s who played for the Sydney Roosters and Queensland State of Origin. These days he owns Bowen's Grandview Hotel, as featured in Baz Luhrmann's epic film, Australia.
Of the 42 SB20 crews, three will be skippered by women including Russian Olympic 470 and Yngling sailor, Anna Basalkina, Great Britain's Sarah Allen (Sailboat Deliveries), part of the winning crew at the 2008 world title, and Australia's Paris Stowell and her crew of West Australian Aboriginal high school girls on Squalo Bianco.
Countries represented include: Australia, Great Britain, United Arab Emirates, Italy, France, Russia, Ukraine, Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland.
All crews are now installed at Hamilton Island and many have been out training and cramming to learn the area's nuances. "It's a stunning location, more of a tropical paradise than we had ever imagined and in direct contrast to the UK where it's three or four degrees, grey and rainy," said SB20 class secretary Katie Ashworth this morning.
"For the majority of the gang from Europe, this is their main holiday of the year and what a fabulous destination it is, especially for those with families; there is something for everyone," she added.
The Whitsundays have been blessed with magic sailing conditions for weeks on end, providing the perfect introduction to the area for first-time visitors. The solid breezes are expected to hold for the next couple of days then may peter out, putting the acid test on the world's best sports boat sailors as the mercury rises.
Racing is due to start this Friday 14 December, at midday under instruction from the island's trusted Principal Race Officer, Denis Thompson, and his world class race management team.

RIP: Another Colorado lawmaker has died
Republican Bev Bledsoe, the longest serving speaker in Colorado history, died Tuesday afternoon.
He was the ninth retired lawmaker to die in the past six months, a string of deaths that Capitol observers said is unusual.
Here are the other lawmakers who recently have gone on to that even bigger Gold Dome:
Sen. Paul Sandoval, D-Denver, died April 24 at age 67. He was known as the godfather of Colorado politics.
Senate President Ted Strickland, R-Adams County, died March 14 at age 79. He also served as a county commissioner and had run for governor.
Rep. Betty Miller, R-Jefferson County, died Jan. 28 at age 83. She was the first woman to serve on the Lakewood City Council.
Rep. Jerry Kopel, D-Denver, died Jan. 21 at age 83. Westword editor Patricia Calhoun once said before Google there was Jerry Kopel. He knew plenty.
Sen. Jim Congrove, R-Arvada, died Jan. 15 at age 65. He relished his reputation as a conservative.
Rep. Lowell Sonnenberg, R-Fleming, died Jan. 2 at age 83. His expertise was agriculture.
Senate President Fred Anderson, R-Loveland, died Dec. 22 at age 83. He was a renowed water expert.
Sen. Robert Wham, R-Denver, who died Dec. 21 at age 84. His wife, Dottie, later represented the district for years.

RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 - the Last Great Clydebuilt liner
The Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, the most famous ship in the World, was launched from the shipyard of John Brown & Company at Clydebank, Scotland on 20th September 1967. Some of the first group of photographs in this set are from a remarkable collection taken by the late Mr William Davies of Glasgow in September 1967. It was almost 21 years after the new ship departed from the Clyde before she returned to the Clyde (in 1990). She returned on a few other occasions and, in 2007, forty years after her launch, the ship returned to Greenock Ocean Terminal on the Clyde on 20th September 2007 to celebrate the anniversary. After a gala day of events, including a 40th Birthday Fly-past Salute by the Red Arrows, the ship departed from Greenock at 18:00 hours. Many thousands of Clydesiders gathered to watch the last of the classic Clydebuilt liners depart. A set of images were taken from a vantage point aboard the veteran motor ship Balmoral which escorted theliner from Greenock to Innellan. 20th September 2007. Just over a year after her 40th anniversary vist to the Clyde, the liner returned to the river of her creation for the very last time as a few weeks later she made her last ever voyage, to the city of Dubai where she was to be converted to a static luxury hotel. Despite extremely poor weather through the majority of the summer of 2008 on the Clyde, the day of the last great Clydebuilt liner's final visit was a miraculously fine autumn day and tens of thousands of people lined the shores of the Firth of Clyde, aware that another chapter in the long maritime history of the Clyde was about to end.Read More
Some of the return visit pictures are by Tom Dunlop.

A "reckless" biker who filmed himself dodging in and out of traffic and jumping red lights during a mass ride out has been jailed.
Kamal Richards, 24, clocked up more than 30 motoring offences – including speeding and riding the wrong way around roundabouts – during the 60 minute incident across south London on New Year's Day, 2016.
Police say that Richards could have killed himself or other road users at least four times during the ride out, alongside dozens of other bikers.
'Heart in the mouth material'
Dramatic footage taken by Richards (described by the Judge as "heart in the mouth material") shows dozens of riders, some on quad bikes, performing wheelies and other stunts as they weave in and out of traffic in wet weather.
Richards – of Dulwich, south east London – was snared after uploading footage of himself during the ride out to a video sharing platform.
He was jailed for 15 months after pleading guilty to dangerous driving at Croydon Crown Court.
He was also disqualified from driving for 31 months, and will be required to complete an extended test to regain his licence.
Multiple offences
The bikers set off from Croydon at 2pm that day and completed a circuit through Purley, Coulsdon via Reigate Hill, and back to Croydon.
Richards, who was riding a black Honda motorbike, filmed it using a camera mounted on his helmet.
The resulting footage showed him committing multiple offences, including contravening several red lights, and riding on the offside of keep left signs – clearly marked by central reservations – deliberately obstruction of the highway.
Sentencing Richards, Judge Elizabeth Smaller told him, "You took part and committed an offence of dangerous driving in a ride out.
"I have seen the lowlights of it – wrong way round roundabouts, on the wrong side of the road, total disregard for other traffic in their rightful lane, sometimes wholly on the wrong side of the road, more than once travelled down the wrong side of the road at parts separated by central reservation, wrong way down a tunnel as other cars were entering. It is heart in the mouth material."
The video included footage of Richards riding on the offside carriageway separated by a solid divider through a tunnel, against oncoming traffic. Three cars were waiting to enter the tunnel from the correct direction.
Police said that if the approaching vehicles hadn't reacted positively, a head on collision would have been likely due to the restricted space available in the tunnel.
'Driving in this manner will not be tolerated'
Richards was arrested in January last year and charged with four offences of driving a motor vehicle dangerously.
Sergeant Elizabeth Hockley, of the Met's Roads and Transport Policing Command, said, "Richards' extremely dangerous driving could have easily resulted in serious injury or even death of himself or other road users.
"Even considering the time that has elapsed, this sentence must have some element of deterrence for those recording and posting this type of behaviour on social media.
"I also hope it sends out a strong message to others that driving in this manner will not be tolerated on London's roads."
Siwan Hayward, Director of Compliance, Policing and On-Street at Transport for London, commented, "We welcome this sentencing and will continue to take these offences seriously and push for the strongest sentences possible."

Lots of movies put their best foot forward at the beginning. Especially lately, a lot of movies have had a terrific opening act, followed by a weaker second act and a terrible third act. Which movie do you wish was as good as its first 20-30 minutes?
Please include a picture, poster or clip for your chosen film. And please mention the title, and what was so good about the first half hour. And please remember to be excellent to each other.
Top image: The Wolverine. Everything up until he loses the shaggy hair and beard is brilliant. The first half hour of this movie is my favorite movie ever. After that... it starts to go downhill.

While we use our devices for everything from watching movies to browsing the net and checking social networks, let's not overlook the fact that, at their core, they're still called smartphones. As such, the dialer and contact app -- now called People -- in Ice Cream Sandwich have both received a major overhaul.
The People is, of course, based on the current Contacts app, but it has been totally redesigned to be more intuitive, easier to use, and provide all the information about your contacts in one centralized location. The main screen offers the typical list of contacts, but instead of being tabbed like the current version, it's swipe-able (like most things in ICS). A quick right-swipe takes you to your favorites, which is now little more than high res images of the people in the list. It's clean, looks good (albeit a bit WinPhone 7-ish), and functional. I'm not entirely sure what happens when one of your favorites is missing a picture, but I imagine a generic placeholder icon takes the place instead. Tapping on any contact takes you to their contact info, including all associated social networking sites. Tap on any of the listed networks and you'll go directly to the respective page. This makes keeping up with your contacts (read: stalking) extremely simple.
The People app is also directly integrated with the new dialer. As you can see in the photo on the left, the Dialer has received a visual overhaul, which gives it a much sleeker, more modern overall look. The recent section still sports the same functionality we've all become accustomed to, which includes quick callback functionality. A quick swipe to the right takes you back into your favorites list, while tapping on a contact from this screen will call them (instead of take you directly into their contact card like with the People app) since it's embedded in the dialer.
The dialer also brings a new feature to the table that I can personally guarantee that I will be using between two and seventeen times per day: quick response. It's awesome -- now, when someone calls at an inopportune moment, instead of ignoring the call, you can simply swipe up to send them a quick text message to let them know you're not available. Brilliant.
There's also a new way to handle voicemail, and this one doesn't involve the old-school method of entering a pin number and manipulating settings using the dialpad. You can play voicemail, fast-forward it, delete it, and more directly from the dialer app. During the demo, Hugo used a Google Voice message, so I assume that this feature will only be available to Voice subscribers and probably won't be compatible with carrier voicemail services.
That's just a quick look at what's new in the Dialer and People apps, and I'm sure there's a lot more little goodies that have yet to be uncovered.

In what should come as a surprise to nobody, approximately .012 seconds after the final whistle of Thursday's USA vs. Japan gold medal soccer match, an onslaught of racially-charged tweets hit the Interwebs. Because sports and war tragedies are equal in the minds of some knuckleheads, many tweets declared the 2-1 outcome -- in favor of the United States -- "payback for Pearl Harbor." Realistically, it was payback for a shootout loss in last year's World Cup final, but even in that case, the tweet storm which ensued trumpeted the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Japan Daily News has compiled a bunch of the offending tweets, for the entire world to see.

In the past few days, the rumors of Google making and selling their own tablet have gained steam. The rumors also point to a Kindle Fire-like price point of $199. The instant reaction is to look at Google's earlier attempt to sell hardware directly to consumers, the Nexus One phone. We know it was a failed experiment which Google acknowledged, by shutting down the operations.
Nexus tablet, on the other hand, is a completely different story. I have firmly believed that tablets should not be sold by the carriers. Yes, there are some options with tablets where you can get cellular broadband service, but first and foremost, a tablet should be sold like a PC. I mean, a computer store or a consumer electronics store. Best Buy, Fry's Electronics and the like. The carriers can also hop in and sell the 3G/4G versions of the tablets like they tried selling the 3G-enabled netbooks. So, taking the sales point away from the carrier stores is a good sign. Compare this with the phone where, at least in the US, it is extremely hard to sell a phone without subsidies. Nokia tried it long time ago and failed. Even Apple briefly tried the unsubsidized route but realized people are much more sensitive to upfront price than you would think. Given that the sale of the phone is tied so much to a carrier, it does not make much sense to conduct the sale away from the carrier. Apple is clearly an exception here, like in many business processes today.
Secondly, the price. If the rumors are true and the tablet is in fact around $199, it will be a huge win. A stock Android tablet with no "skins" installed, for $199 could be an interesting device. Kindle Fire has its ecosystem to rely upon but out of the box, it does limit which Android apps can run on the device. If a Nexus tablet can run all Android apps, and additionally support Amazon media consumption (either via Amazon apps like Kindle app or via the browser for Amazon Video), it becomes a superset of the Fire, for the same price as the Fire. Yes, the current Android tablets already do all of that, I understand. However, none of them have gained any traction yet, and if Google can get behind the marketing and sales, and create a Nexus phone-style clean and crisp user experience, I think users may get interested.
In fact, if this strategy does not work, you can presumably call it the end of the road for Android tablets.

4364.0.55.005 - Australian Health Survey: Biomedical Results for Chronic Diseases, 2011-12
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 05/08/2013 First Issue

Diabetes is a chronic condition where insulin, a hormone that controls blood glucose levels, is no longer produced or not produced in sufficient amounts by the body.1 If left undiagnosed or poorly managed, diabetes can lead to coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, limb amputations or blindness. In 2011, diabetes was the sixth leading cause of death in Australia.2
The National Health Measures Survey (NHMS) provides an objective measurement of the number of people with diabetes in Australia. It included two tests to measure diabetes: a fasting plasma glucose test and a glycated haemoglobin test (commonly referred to as HbA1c).
Fasting plasma glucose measures the level of sugar in the person's blood at the time of testing. Participants were required to fast for 8 hours prior to the test in order to get an accurate reading. HbA1c, on the other hand, measures what the person's average blood glucose level has been in the previous three months. Participants were not required to fast for this test. A set of cut-offs are used for each test to determine whether a person has diabetes or is at high risk of diabetes. The cut-offs used in the NHMS are shown below.
Cut-offs for Diabetes in the NHMS
(b) An HbA1c level of greater than or equal to 6.5% is the WHO recommended cut-off point for diabetes.4

Macedonia's transition to independence in the 1990's was peaceful. In breaking away from Yugoslavia, Skopje managed to avoid both military conflict and internal turmoil. Throughout most of the 1990s, Macedonia was praised as a model of inter-ethnic coexistence in the Balkans.
Although Albanians had always been included in government, the new state was very slow in addressing their concerns, which included systematic discrimination in the public sector and the provision (or lack thereof) of tertiary education in Albanian. Albanian grievances, combined with the drastic economic downturn of the 1990s, made for a combustible mix.
In the wake of national independence, ethnic Macedonians, the primary beneficiaries of four decades of industrial development, were suddenly left exposed to the rapidly declining fortunes of the region's socialist-era state companies. The Albanian population, meanwhile – formerly excluded from the public sector and forced to rely on alternative economic strategies like labour migration and small-scale trade – now emerged much better equipped to survive the collapse of the socialist economy.
These divergent experiences explain the large differences in perception between the two communities: as to how and why the Macedonian state was failing, and who was footing the bill. With one foot abroad, the Albanian community saw the state as alien and unresponsive to its needs. Despite their relative prosperity, the Albanian viewpoint was coloured by a lifetime's experience of exclusion. For their part, ethnic Macedonians felt under siege, both socially and economically. The state was growing weaker, out of touch with developments in this post-socialist, post-industrialist society. As the economic privileges once tied to control of the administration disappeared, ethnic Macedonians were unable to comprehend the abrupt reversal of their fortunes.
The lack of political will – also among Albanian representatives in government – to address these inequalities opened the field to new actors willing to pursue their interests outside the political process.
In January 2001 a paramilitary group calling itself the National Liberation Army (NLA) began attacking police and army personnel and facilities. Its leader was Ali Ahmeti from Western Macedonia. After the killing of a policeman on 22 January 2001 in the predominantly ethnic Albanian village Tearce, the NLA stated in a communiqué:
"The Albanians in Macedonia have sought their rights through dialogue in a constitutional and peaceful way. Our demands have been ignored. The Macedonian Government has responded with a reign of terror… the NLA will fight until Macedonia constitutionally becomes a Macedonian-Albanian – or Albanian-Macedonian state… We are in favour of preserving Macedonia's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Three weeks later, NLA forces took over the village of Tanusevci near the border with Kosovo. The Macedonian government claimed that the rebels were members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) who infiltrated the country from Kosovo. Macedonian security forces were sent to Tanusveci. One villager died and two Macedonian soldiers were killed. US NATO forces based in Kosovo took over part of the village.
The crisis escalated in mid-March, when the rebels attacked the police in Tetovo, the unofficial capital of the Albanian minority. A Government of National Unity was formed, promising to respond with tough action.
After several attacks on Macedonian security forces, Macedonians took to the streets of some towns, attacking and setting fire to Albanian-owned shops, mosques and houses. Such attacks took place mainly in Prilep, Skopje and Bitola.
After the rebels took over Aracinovo near Skopje on 8 June, Javier Solana, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, managed to secure a cease-fire. NATO forces evacuated the rebels from the area, but did not disarm them, causing an angry uproar amongst ethnic Macedonians. Ermira Mehmeti, then a student interpreter, now the spokeswoman of the largest Albanian party (DUI), remembers:
"Police reservists gathered in the centre of Skopje in front of the parliament. They were throwing rocks at the parliament. They were calling for the prime minister to address them. I guess they considered… what had happened in Aracinovo as an act of cowardice."
Radmila Sekerinska, then Vice President of the Social Democratic party, recalls the difficulties in the political process:
"Everyone wanted to see the hostilities end, but no-one was politically prepared to pay the political price for this. Politicians could stick to the line that 'We are not negotiating with the insurgents or the terrorists or the fighters.' Some people thought that just by sitting down and negotiating – four political parties and the president – we were already committing treason".
With the fighting in the background, peace talks between the ethnic Albanian and Macedonian political leaders were taking place. President Boris Trajkovski played a crucial mediating role. The talks, facilitated by the European Union, NATO, the US and the OSCE, led to an outline for a Framework Agreement. It called for an end to the conflict by way of disarming the NLA, offering amnesty for its members, and initiating a process to address ethnic Albanian concerns.
In July 2001, as the fighting intensified around Tetovo and later in villages near the northern city of Kumanovo, negotiations were shifted to a villa on the shores of Lake Ohrid. Under intense international pressure – from Javier Solana and NATO Secretary General George Robertson, among others – it appeared that an agreement was within reach. The fighting nearly derailed the talks, however. As Radmila Sekerinska describes:
"Just as the discussions had started, in a tragic incident on the road towards Tetovo policemen and soldiers were killed in an ambush […]. The population was shocked. I think everyone said, 'Okay, we are at war.' And there was this natural urge to give up and to say, 'Well, they have chosen war, and we will just have to accept that. We will have to be prepared, and we will have to do whatever we can to save the country.' The atmosphere in Ohrid was terrible."
Forces under the control of hard-line Minister of Interior Ljube Boskovski went on the offensive against the ethnic Albanian village of Ljuboten, close to the site of the ambush. Though Boskovski's forces claimed to be in pursuit of the NLA, ten civilians were killed in the fighting. (Boskovski himself was later indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague. He was acquitted on 10 July 2008.)
According to Sekerinska, thanks to the trust and confidence that developed between the parties, an agreement finally became possible.
"We trusted the politicians who signed the agreement. (We) didn't trust the NLA, but we trusted NATO and the EU and the US when they said: 'If you sign this, peace can return to Macedonia.'"
The Ohrid Framework Agreement was signed on 13 August 2001. NATO began to deploy an international peacekeeping force, though amidst strong feelings of unease among the ethnic Macedonian population. Sekerinska recalls the mood at the time:
"People said, 'Look, all of these things in the Ohrid agreement are not supposed to be rejected – but did we have to negotiate them under the threat of arms? Maybe we would have reached the same decisions anyway, even without the casualties?' That is a very strong feeling among ethnic Macedonians – that they were pressured into accepting a deal that was not fair."
The 3,000 troops of NATO's "Essential Harvest" Task Force started collecting a limited number of weapons voluntarily handed in by the NLA. By September-October 2001, the level of violence in the country had greatly subsided. The Macedonian parliament formally ratified the constitutional changes agreed at Ohrid on 16 November 2001. President Trajkovski announced an amnesty for former NLA fighters.
A mission of international monitors was deployed to facilitate the return of displaced people. NATO forces continued to provide security until handing over to the first-ever EU military mission, Operation Concordia, in March 2003. Concordia lasted until 15 December 2003. "Proxima", the EU's second-ever police mission was active in the country until December 2005.

LONDON (AP) — Part-nationalized Lloyds Banking Group says it is eliminating 940 jobs in a continuing reduction of its payroll.
Lloyds announced Wednesday that it hopes to redeploy affected employees and not resort to redundancy, but a union representing bank workers has reacted furiously.
Dominic Hook, national officer of the Unite Union, says "it is a complete disgrace that the bank, which is 41 percent owned by the taxpayer, continues to cut jobs in such a cavalier way."
Lloyds has a target of cutting 15,000 jobs by the end of 2014, and has so far announced 8,000.
Barclays, meanwhile, has announced a review of jobs in its investment banking division. It won't comment on published reports that up to 2,000 of the current total of 23,000 jobs worldwide may go.

Hill Police Assault Minister
Kudos to whomever it was in the hallway at the time of Rev. Yearwood's incident that had the video or cell phone camera and the smarts to record it all. I understand Reverend Yearwood's leg was broken--all because he wanted to hear General Petraeus testify before Congress.
[National News]
Let me state from the outset that I am sickened by video footage available on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiradcejA6o ), of the assault on Reverend Lennox Yearwood by the Capitol Hill Police.
Nowhere on the internet is the footage available of the press conference I had on the subject of certain Capitol Hill police officers. But at that press conference were Black Georgia constituents who told of the utter contempt with which they were treated at the hands of certain Capitol Hill police officers.
Kudos to whomever it was in the hallway at the time of Rev. Yearwood's incident that had the video or cell phone camera and the smarts to record it all. The minister was later charged with felony assault of police officers and is to appear in court on a later date; he says ligaments were torn in the beating --all because he wanted to hear General David Petraeus testify before Congress.
But what's more incredible is that according to my friends, there has been absolutely no coverage at all of this incident in what we call the mainstream media and that there have been no--repeat--no Members of Congress to speak out against this travesty.
Kudos to Glen Ford of www.blackagendareport.com and Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! for covering this incident. The video will take only seven minutes of your time, please watch it. Of course, the police charged Rev. Yearwood with a crime, just like in New York; they've charged the Warrens, noted civil rights attorneys, for having the audacity to take down the license plate numbers of NYPD officers involved in beating a young, handcuffed Latino man.
I'm also told that in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania another incident, this time involving a woman, Diane White, was beaten and maced by cops, after having been pulled away and out of site of the Festival she had organized for neighborhood children. This happens in the midst of two unthinkable incidents: the Jena 6 situation in Louisiana with the imbroglio that has resulted from Black teenagers sitting under the "white tree" in the Jena High schoolyard and the situation in West Virginia where a 20-year-old Black woman was kidnapped, raped, and tortured amid racial epithets and the Feds decide yesterday that it's not a hate crime! (The conviction of Mychal Bell was overturned Friday by an Appeals court).
Unarmed Blacks and Latinos are attacked and killed in city after city across this country and there is little justice to be found in the courts. It is clear that our country needs a peace and justice movement that brings people from all backgrounds together with a single vision: to make a better U.S.A. for all of us and the world!

If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom.
Therefore, to adequately preview the madness that is the baseball playoffs, we've invited some of our favorite writers for each of the eight playoff teams to write about their teams. These will be running all day today and tomorrow, and we very much hope you enjoy them.
Up right now: The Los Angeles Angeles Of Anaheim. Your writer is Mat Gleason.
Mat Gleason, is also known as Reverend Halofan, of HALOSHEAVEN.COM. His words are after the jump.
It is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Gene Autry, so of course the Angels are going to win it all!
In this era of baseball fans putting on lab coats to analyze the numbers before accepting a team's WIN as meaningful, can I just interject that the Angels are gonna win one for the cowboy on his 100th birthday!
Do I sound like a moron yet? Well, at least I am enjoying my team's success instead of doing my math homework. Each year, baseball on the internet gets to be more like doing your taxes; numbers of the past adding up to an unpleasant feeling of wasted opportunities with a lousy payoff in the near future.
The baseball atheists, the Sabr number crunchers, joykillers determined to rid the sport of any storyline not composed on a slide rule, they hate the Angels. Madalyn Murray O'Hair said there was no god, and the SabrMutts say there is no "clutch." These Sabr piss-on-your-parade sourpusses categorically reject any team structured on the belief that the RBI will redeem the baserunner, that a hitter's batting average with Runners in Scoring Position is of significance and that his average with RISP and 2 outs might actually be his most treasured trait as a hitter. These notions are a reverse heresy!
The 2007 Angels are structured antithetically to fashionable statistical analysis models. When ESPN's token Sabr boy Keith Law flat out states that RBI is a meaningless statistic in a chat-tirade against Garret Anderson (within a week Garret had a ten-RBI game against the Yankees), you have to understand that the 2007 Angels are a threat to the cottage industry of pseudoscientific baseball analysis from which Law and his flannel-bedecked crony Rob Neyer write fanboy love letters to jocks disguised as Benjamin Bernanke quarterly reports to congress.
Ask any rational SabrMetric Analyst why Maicer Izturis should ever bat fifth in a major league lineup. Then ask any Dodgers fan if they wish Mike Scioscia was their manager.
Ask the Billy Beane acolytes if all of Joakland's visits to the disabled list negated Billy's statistical acumen for personnel placement.
Then ask how many Angels went on the disabled list in 2007; the answer is 13 players for a total of 18 visits, less than the A's, but not 17 games behind worth.
Asking these and other questions is uncomfortable in these rigid, measured times. Nothing diminishes the seductive allure of OPS like a high average singles team that can steal bases, go from first to third well and score on old-fashioned squeezes. It is enough to force a fan to watch the baseball game instead of the MLB Gameday.
Mike Scioscia's innovative, progressive lineup is backed by a damn good pitching staff. The bullpen is not as reliable as in the past, but Angel fans have been so spoiled that their historically dominant bullpen sinking to the level of bullpen of the decade has been tough for us to handle. We don't self-flagellate like Bahstin or vicariously point fingers in the NY Post, but a blown hold was a rare occurrence in Los Angeles of Anaheim prior to this season.
But you seven other playoff teams better not wait around for the pitching to collapse. The way to beat the Angels is with your pitcher keeping his game on the ground. Let the Angels get two hits an inning, ground into a double play and then pop up weakly. Chien-Ming Wang stands between the Angels and a ring. If Carlos Silva was in the postseason, I would be praying to face any team but the Twins.
Watch, though, as your big game pitcher gets distracted with fast guys on first waiting to steal, then sees that guy go from first to third on what seemed to just be a squibber past a diving shortstop. Just as big stud walks off the mound to catch his breath, they announce Vladimir Guerrero is at the plate - you know, Manny Ramirez with his head on straight, Alex Rodriguez with the successful personality transplant. Can you tell we are praying for Carlos Zambrano to be here in three weeks?
Behind Vlad is a healthy Garret Anderson. Now, the Stat-Street-Boys dislike a man they cannot quickly measure. Garret is far too nuanced for their numbers-eyeballing methodology. Garret does two things with a bat: he hits a fastball well. He is not too good on the curve or the slider and is especially bad on the changeup away. But if you repeat a pitch to him, the 2nd thing he does well is crush the living shit out that pitch.
How can a simpleton like Keith Law be expected to pay attention to subtle, in-game situations like this without the aid of a crunched numerical graph explaining the importance of an offense built around frenzied hitting - the very concept of frenzied hitting does not fit into the cobwebbed orthodoxy that the alleged stat revolution has become.
A statistical analyst at this Angels' postseason campaign is like an atheist at Hannukah - before you crack a beer, tell us again why we aren't the chosen people?

Valery Gergievís inspired leadership as Artistic and General Director of the Mariinsky Theatre since 1988 has taken Mariinsky ensembles to 45 countries (presenting the best of Russian opera and ballets as well as the complete Shostakovich and Prokofiev symphonies and Wagnerís Ring cycle) and has brought universal acclaim to this legendary institution, now in its 226th season.
In November 2006, the new and superb Mariinsky Concert Hall opened, in 2009 the Mariinsky Label was launched and in 2011 the new Mariinsky Opera House is scheduled to open. The Mariinsky Label releases in the first year include Shostakovich ďThe NoseĒ and Symphonies Nos. 1 & 15, a Tchaikovsky disc of short pieces, Shchedrin ďThe Enchanted WandererĒ, and Rachmaninoff Piano Concerti No. 3 and ďPaganini Variations.Ē The labelís first two recordings received five Grammy Nominations including Best Opera Recording (The Nose), Best Classical Album (The Nose), Best Orchestral Performance (Symphonies 1 & 15) as well as nominations for engineering and producer.
Presently Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, Valery Gergiev is also founder and Artistic Director of the Stars of the White Nights Festival and New Horizons Festival in St. Petersburg, the Moscow Easter Festival, the Gergiev Rotterdam Festival, the Mikkeli International Festival, and the Red Sea Festival in Eilat, Israel.
Valery Gergiev succeeded Sir Georg Solti as conductor of the World Orchestra for Peace in 1998. Solti himself had recognized Gergiev as his natural successor when they met two years before Solti died. Solti sensed that Gergiev was ď...a man of the theatre,Ē and likened their meeting to the occasion when Solti met Bruno Walter, who had encouraged him to take the position at Covent Garden. Feeling the need for a new, young, dynamic opera conductor, Solti wrote ďÖ I welcome the arrival of Valery GergievÖĒ
Born in Moscow, Valery Gergiev studied conducting with Ilya Musin at the Leningrad Conservatory. At age 24 he was the winner of the Herbert von Karajan Conductorsí Competition in Berlin and made his Mariinsky Opera debut one year later in 1978 conducting Prokofievís War and Peace. In 2003 he led St Petersburgís 300th anniversary celebrations, and opened the Carnegie Hall season with the Mariinsky Orchestra, the first Russian conductor to do so since Tchaikovsky conducted the hallís inaugural concert in 1891.
He was the subject of Carnegie Hallís 2007-08 Perspectives: Valery Gergiev, in which he gave concerts with the Mariinsky, Vienna Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera orchestras and conducted productions of Prokofievís War and Peace and The Gambler at the Metropolitan Opera.
Highlights of the 2008-09 season included a Prokofiev cycle at Lincoln Center in New York: staged works (Mariinsky Orchestra) and the complete symphonies (LSO), a cycle of Prokofiev symphonies and concertos with the LSO in Paris and Tokyo, and the Mariinsky Theatreís production of Richard Wagnerís ďRingĒ at Royal Covent Garden, London.
In the 2009-10 season Maestro Gergiev conducts Berlioz Les Troyens in St. Petersburg, Valencia, and New Yorkís Carnegie Hall. He also conducts the New York Philharmonic in a three-week Stravinsky Festival, presents a Mariinsky Shostakovich Cycle in Vienna, leads works of Henri Dutilleux with the London Symphony and conducts Shostakovichís The Nose at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In the 2010-11 season he offers a Mahler Cycle in London, New York, Paris and Japan.
Maestro Gergiev is the recipient of a Grammy Award, the Dmitri Shostakovich Award, Golden Mask Award, Peopleís Artist of Russia Award, the World Economic Forumís Crystal Award, Swedenís Polar Music Prize, Netherlandsís Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion, Japanís Order of the Rising Sun, Valenciaís Silver Medal, the Herbert von Karajan prize and Franceís Royal Order of the Legion of Honor.
Although now recording for the Mariinsky and LSO Live Labels, he has recorded extensively for Decca (Universal Classics), and appears on the Philips and Deutsche Grammophon labels. His vast discography includes many Russian operas, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky Symphonies among many others.
His Mahler Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7, 8 are released on LSO Live, the first releases of a complete Mahler cycle with the LSO. Future LSO Live recordings will include Bartokís Bluebeardís Castle and Prokofievís Romeo & Juliet complete.

This part of the year is a popular time for people to buy their electronic gadgets, including smartphones. With this in mind, three major smartphone platforms – iOS, Android, and Windows Phone – have all been updated with new versions for this year's shopping season.
To give users an overview of this development, this month's Monthly Mobile Review focuses on the new security features in each of these updates – namely, iOS 6, Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), and Windows Phone 8.
Apple's iOS 6 primarily focuses on improvements to the user's personal data, with settings that control which apps have access to your information, and can even control what kind of information each app has access to. Similarly, Jelly Bean's security improvements include an integrated scanner for malicious apps, as well as improvements in how Android displays the permissions an app is asking for. Not to be outdone, Windows 8 for mobile offers a multi-layer protection and boasts three key security features.
In addition to looking at the mobile platforms, we also examined the security of using near-field communication (NFC) and discussed tips that consumers can follow to use NFC securely.

First prototype in python, work in progress, I should think of more interesting project names.
a bunch of selfish prisoners having sex and mutating. WHOA. a very basic evolutionary algorithm, a last night's play.
Prisoner's dilemma is a scenario in a game theory (check it out if you don't know about it) its interesting to me in part because it explains human moral intuitions through a selfish evolutionary perspective, in other words, why people are generally nice to each other.
In the iterated prisoners dilemma the game is played repeatedly thus each agent has an opportunity to learn about other agents behaviours and potentially punish noncooperation. Cooperation may then arise as an equilibrium outcome.
I didn't get tit for tat which I originaly expected, nor did I manage to get any other cooperative equilibrium. cooperation does evolve, but it doesn't last, strange, I expected that cooperative species will raise and stay dominant as I enlarge the number of interactions before a step in the evolution. (its rational to be nice if you need to stick around) need to investigate and think about this some more.
I'll post more info and code later or never. screenshot and someone with a different approach and a spacial dimension.

Miesha Tate
Few fighters in the UFC can match Miesha Tate when it comes to skills inside the Octagon, popularity among fans and an ability to create and sustain her own brand.
Tate has been ranked among the top female bantamweights in mixed martial arts for several years, and she can make a case that she's the second-best fighter in her division. She has lost twice to bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey but has otherwise been unstoppable, scoring victories over Jessica Eye, Sara McMann and Liz Carmouche since April 2014.
Tate, a former bantamweight champion in Strikeforce and Freestyle Cage Fighting, joined the UFC in 2013. Her first bout with the organization was The Ultimate Fighter 17 finale against Cat Zingano, with the winner promised a fight against Rousey for the UFC women's belt.
Tate controlled most of the first two rounds before a series of knees by Zingano put her down and ended the fight in the third via TKO. Despite losing, however, Tate still got a title shot when Zingano suffered a knee injury that required surgery.
Tate had fought Rousey once before, losing her Strikeforce title in March 2012 when Rousey successfully applied an armbar with 33 seconds left in the first round.
In their second meeting, Tate pushed Rousey to the third round – no other fighter has extended Rousey that far – before losing again via armbar.
Tate, who embraces her "Cupcake" nickname, is a wrestling specialist who won the girls' state championship while attending Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma, Washington. She has developed into a well-rounded mixed martial artist and proved her ability to win in the stand-up game with her unanimous-decision win over Eye at UFC Fight Night Chicago in July 2015. It marked her fourth consecutive win since losing to Rousey.
Tate has developed a sizable fan following, largely due to her fighting style and a strong social media presence. She has more than 380,000 Twitter followers and 473,000 Instagram followers. She has also appeared in ESPN The Magazine's body issue.
TRAINING: In the morning I train either striking, conditioning or do technical game plan review. In the evening, it's either live MMA rounds or strength & conditioning
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training fighting when I was 19 because I had wrestled in high school and was looking to take my ambition to the next level. What better way to do that than to get in the cage and fight your heart out?!
What ranks and titles have you held? Former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion, Women's 135lb Strikeforce Tournament Champion, 2x Freestyle Cage Fighting 135lb champion, 2009 World Team Trials Silver Medalist, 2009 Freestyle Cage Fighting Super Fight Champ, 2008 Fila Worlds Grappling Championships Silver Medalist, 2008 World Team Trials National Grappling Champion, 2005 women's high school Washington state wrestling champ. The Ultimate Fighter season 18 coach. Purple belt in BJJ.
Do you have any heroes? None
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? For me it means I'm one of the best in the world and I'm thankful for the opportunity that the UFC gives to the talented women in MMA
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I attended Central Washington University, no degree
What was your job before you started fighting? I was working at Costco
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? 5-1 as an amateur

Two Relatives of Berkeley Student Down with Measles
Two relatives of a University of California at Berkeley student who contracted measles earlier this month have also caught the disease, Contra Costa County health officials said.
Neither the student nor the two family members were vaccinated against the measles, according to Contra Costa Health Services officials.
Both relatives, who are Contra Costa County men in their 20s and 30s, voluntarily quarantined themselves in their homes after their relative was diagnosed with measles. County health officials said it does not appear that anyone else has been exposed to the disease because of these cases.
However, Contra Costa Health Services' Communicable Disease programs chief Erika Jenssen said anyone who is not immunized is "very likely to get measles if they are exposed to the virus."
"This really underscores the importance of everyone getting vaccinated," Jenssen said.
County health officials believe the UC Berkeley student contracted measles while on a recent trip to the Philippines.
BART users were put on alert about their potential exposure to the disease after the student used the transit system between the Downtown Berkeley and El Cerrito Del Norte stations during the first week of February.
The dangerous, highly contagious virus can be spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes, county health officials said.
Anyone who rode BART between Feb. 4 and Feb. 7 is encouraged to look out for potential symptoms of measles through this weekend.
Measles symptoms can surface one to three weeks after being exposed and include coughing, runny nose, high fever and red, watery eyes. Two or three days after the fever begins, a rash develops on the face and spreads to the rest of the body, usually lasting about five to six days, according to county health officials.
A person infected with measles is also contagious for several days before and after the rash appears.
Reported cases of measles both in the Bay Area and statewide have risen in recent months, according to the California Department of Public Health.
More information about measles can be found at www.cchealth.org/measles.

Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
Yeah, foregone conclusion.
I've put a tenner on a 0-0 draw between Serbia and Ghana. I thought the 3.35-1 odds looked pretty nice for a game already halfway through. But knowing my luck so far in this tournament, the second half's gonna be a goalfest.
Yeah I think that's a pretty good bet. There's been a lot more quality in this game than there was in the last but still not many chances. Sees to me that both these teams are simply much better defensively than they are going forward.
We'll see how the second half goes, but I definitely think this game will finish 0-0 more than 1/4 of the time. Would probably steal that punt if I didn't already have money on the game.

Had some money on Slovenia to win as they were decent odds i thought.
Got some on Germany 2-0 but also have money on more than 2.5 goals so will be up whatever
would like some more corners and cards this second half, Lucas Neill letting me down.
Didn't get the 0-0 draw, but the multi I had with 4 baseball matches into Slovenia and Germany put me into the black for the tournament...for now.
Not very adventurous today - just a little multi on the Netherlands, Italy and a draw between Japan and Cameroon. Got about 10-1 on that one.
Van Persie into 3-1. Thats it, boring games for mine today.
Prediction league at work, stuck in 2-0 Holland, 1-0 Japan, and 2-0 Italy, fingers crossed here.....

Brief introduction:
In case of cellular membranes, we are dealing with electron-proton pairs on the opposite sides of the membranes forming the pseudo-particles - bosons i.e. particles of integral spin. Being bosons, those pseudo-particles may form a coherent quantum state - Bose-Einstein (BE) condensate just like the Cooper pairs of electrons in a superconductor, except they are neutral thus they do not produce observable electromagnetic phenomena as a superconductor but they do produce non-local quantum propagation phenomena (neurons, brain) and non-local synchronous energy transfers (bio-catalysis, mitochondria).
In case of deuterium or hydrogen ions in palladium or nickel crystal lattices, we are dealing probably with similar phenomenon of free electrons in the metallic lattice pairing with hydrogen nucleus forming an analog of hydrogen pseudo-atoms of very large dimensions which then form a coherent collective state of B-E condensate like on a cellullar membrane.
A collective state behave like a single "particle" of energy and mass being the multiple of the initial particle state energy (150meV in case of cellullar mitochondria and neurons, about 1eV in case of hydrogen/deuterium ions in metallic crystal lattice), multiplied by the average number N of particle forming the B-E condensate state. if N=10 then the membrane potential can energise all sort of chemical reaction acting like a catalyst. If N=1e6 then the B-E condensate may trigger nuclear reactions!
Once we develop a more accurate understanding and the model, we will be able to optimise and control those processes. From the practical and technological development point of view, I think, quantum biophysics is now what semiconductor microelectronics was in the 1950-ties.
Se also this document: "Proton Pump CF Mechanism".
[to be continued]
Added 9-Jan-2014
Quantum condensate effects observed in the living cells:
Physica Scripta. Vol.40,786-791, 1989., "Magnetic Flux Quantization and Josephson Systems",
E. Del Giudice, S. Doglia, M. Milani, C. W. Smith and G. Vitiello
One of the authors (CWS) and his co-workers have, over many years, found evidence that Josephson-like phenomena are occurring in living systems. The first piece of evidence [lo] came in 1975, when in the course of measurements on enzymes it was found that magnetic fields of the order of 60 mT could lead to very large changes in the dielectric constants of dilute solutions of enzymes.
This clearly indicates the presence of a cooperative phenomenon capable of increasing the susceptibility in a magnetic field. The effect disappeared above a critical value of the field suggesting a Meissner effect. Also the effects disappeared, if the solution was completely sterile biologically. These results have been discussed on the basis of a model in which there is a small superconductive region with linear dimensions smaller than the London penetration depth. A dispersion of such regions will act like a diamagnetic medium and could give rise to an AC Josephson effect. These preliminary results were repeated more extensively and using a different experimental technique for measuring the diamagnetic susceptibility.
