Over 30 years of anarchist writing from Ireland listed under hundreds of topics
This year May Day fell on a Saturday, meaning that the Dublin march would take place on the day itself. Almost a wash-out (owing to two hours of quite heavy rain right before the demonstration) the march was essentially going through the motions of a Dublin May Day from beginning to end.
This year May Day fell on a Saturday, meaning that the Dublin march would take place on the day itself. Almost a wash-out (owing to two hours of quite heavy rain right before the demonstration) the march was essentially going through the motions of a Dublin May Day from beginning to end.
Owing to very poor advertisement that led to much of the promotion in advance of the march being Facebook led, and thus the whole event going over the heads of most working people, the turnout was something in the region of 400 individuals, with a contingent of WSM members and other anarchists present. A particular banner, which has begun making regular appearances at trade-union demonstrations, called for NO NAMA, NO CUTS AND NO ICTU SELL OUT. From talking to trade union members on the day, two things were clear. Firstly, a belief that May Day should be a large show of strength from our movement and isn't at present, and secondly that a huge gap has emerged between the trade union leadership and the rank and file membership, with many feeling sold-out by the decisions of leadership in recent weeks, not least owing to the 'Croke Park Deal'.
While Arthur Scargill (President of the British National Union of Miners during their year long strike in 1984) is such a larger than life presence, another speaker received a wonderful response yesterday. A speaker from the Migrant Rights Centre spoke of the terrible employment conditions that migrant workers endure in this country, and the need for our movement not to stand for any divisions on the ground of race or background. In the midst of an economic recession that has handed lifelines to the far-right in many European countries, there is an urgent truth in this.
In 2007, a large May Day march in Dublin was followed by a bookfair at the Custom House and a day of Trade Union events. All this happened as a result of a large push in advance of the rally. Like many European cities, where May Day can bring out thousands of workers, we need to push for the Dublin demonstration to be a show of Union strength, and a day when ordinary workers come out behind their Union banners and demand that our Unions fight on our behalf.
"As we walked down O' Connell Street, I commented that it's not often that I walk behind the police- they usually follow me!" -Arthur Scargill.
This audio recording from the Dublin 2010 Mayday opens with some comments from those present on the organisation of this Mayday followed by Arthur Scargill's address. He concentrates on the need for the unions to be ready to break the law and giving the example of the Pentonville 5 who defied the laws and forced the British queen to pardon them after 2 million workers went on strike after they were jailed. The audio ends with an introduction to the anarchist history of Mayday. Listen to the audio

Dominican Republic Leaves Children Of Haitian Immigrants In Legal Limbo
SANTO DOMINGO – In a soft voice, Elena Lorac tells her Kafkaesque story. Born 23 years ago in the midst of the Sabana Grande de Boya sugar cane plantations, 90 kilometers north of Santo Domingo, the young woman is stateless.
Dominican authorities won't give her a cedula (an ID card), using the excuse that her parents are migrants who came from Haiti to work on Dominican state plantations and who never put their papers in order. "Without a cedula, I can't do anything, I can't buy a mobile phone, or open a bank account, or sign up for university," she says.
Elena wants to study to become a teacher in order to help her mother, who lives alone with her four young brothers and sisters. "She lives in poverty, with God's help, and she has breast cancer, with no insurance," says the young girl.
For several months, armed with her birth certificate, Elena was sent from office to office, until March 2010, when an employee at the Junta Central Electoral (JCE), the state registry office, told her she couldn't get a cedula because her parents "had Haitian names."
"She told me to go to the Haitian embassy and to declare myself Haitian, but I was born here. I don't speak Creole or French, I don't know anybody there, I've never been there," says Elena.
Getting worse
No one knows how many descendants of Haitians born on Dominican soil are in the same legal limbo as Elena. "There hasn't been any census, but according to several estimates, they are almost 300,000, a majority of whom aren't registered," says Francisco Leonardo, a young lawyer who works for Reconocido. This NGO fights for the recognition of the rights of Dominicans of Haitian origin, with the help of the Jesuit help service for refugees and migrants (SJRM).
"The Junta Central refuses to give ID papers on the basis of phenotypical profiles and parents' names. It lets procedures drag on for years under the pretext of investigation, while the life of the identity seeker is paralyzed," says the lawyer.
With Reconocido's help, two groups - one of 28 and the other of 101 Dominicans of Haitian origin - recently won a legal battle in San Pedro de Macoris and El Seibo, in the East. The courts said the JCE "violated the fundamental rights" of the plaintiffs and ordered that it give them cedulas. Far from complying, the JCE undertook an intimidation campaign against young Dominicans of Haitian origin and appealed the decision. "The JCE is using a Supreme Court decision from December 2005 that said that the children of illegal or transiting migrants were not Dominican," says Leonardo, who says he is ready to continue the fight at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
The Supreme Court interpretation, which was questioned by prominent jurists, was inscribed in the new Constitution of 2010 by President Leonel Fernandez. He is finishing his third term on August 16, and has entrusted immigration policies to the National Progressive Force (FNP).
Founded by the lawyer Vinicio "Vincho" Castillo – one of Fernandez's closest advisors – the FNP never ceases to denounce the perils of the "Haitian invasion" and "the great power conspiracy" to merge Haiti and the Dominican Republic, who share the Hispaniola island.
President Fernandez named José Ricardo Taveras, one of the main FNP leaders, to lead the General Migration office. Last June, he published a decree that excluded 30,000 students from schools because their parents were undocumented Haitians. The director had to back peddle after the measure created an outcry.
Pushed into illegality
Created without any consultation, the new migration law also elicited strong reactions. The number of illegal Haitian migrants has continued to increase in recent decades, with the complicity of paid border authorities. Here again there are no official statistics available, and the most common estimate of the number of illegal Haitians is at least one million, approximately 10% of the Dominican population.
For a long time they were concentrated on the sugar plantations, which were mostly state-owned, but they have progressively left this declining industry over the past 20 years. Worn out by the exhausting work in the cane fields, the oldest braceros demonstrated these past few weeks to ask for their 5,117 pesos (106 euros) in monthly pension benefits, which the state owes them but has not yet paid.
Most of the undocumented Haitians now work in the rice, banana or coffee industries, as well as construction. For its large infrastructure projects, like the Santo Domingo subway, the state is still an important employer of illegal labor, either directly or through sub-contractors. Agricultural producers and real estate promoters denounce what they say is the excessive cost of obtaining documents for illegal workers they believe are essential for their activity.
"The current FNP leaders have a bad understanding of immigration realities, and the policies they advocate can only cause more illegality and human rights violations," says father Mario Serrano, who leads the SJRM.

With the M'elodie center cluster and MICA side arrays, they have all the power they need for bigger houses, along with reliable consistency of sound—a quality at which Meyer systems always excel."
Kai HaradaSound Designer, Million Dollar Quartet
Having continued successful permanent productions in Chicago and New York, the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet (MDQ) has hit the road with a North American tour. To accommodate venues seating from 1,400 to over 3,000, sound designer Kai Harada specified a Meyer Sound system based around MICA and M'elodie line array loudspeakers.
"My goal was to give the touring crew a system with a lot of flexibility, so they could adjust coverage angles for theatres of all shapes and sizes," explains Harada. "With the M'elodie center cluster and MICA side arrays, they have all the power they need for bigger houses, along with reliable consistency of sound—a quality at which Meyer systems always excel."
Inspired by a 1956 recording studio jam session by Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis, Million Dollar Quartet captures a pivotal night in the history of rock 'n' roll. On the MDQ tour, the lion's share of the show's energy is delivered by a split dual center array of 20 M'elodie loudspeakers and the upper and lower side arrays comprising a total of 20 MICA loudspeakers. A left-right configuration of 600-HP subwoofers and a 700-HP at center provide low end, while a total of 16 UPM‑1P and UPJunior VariO loudspeakers supplies fill and delay systems as needed. A Galileo loudspeaker management system with four Galileo 616 processors provides drive and optimization.
"This is a rock 'n' roll show, but it was my goal to preserve the dynamic between the book scenes, the songs, and the big finale," Harada says. "It's important to hold a lot of punch in reserve, and this system certainly has it."
Harada is also the sound designer for resident productions of MDQ at Chicago's Apollo Theater and off-Broadway at New York's New World Stages. The New York system is based around a MINA line array in the center with CQ-1 and CQ-2 loudspeakers on the sides, while the wide thrust staging in Chicago also employs CQ-1 loudspeakers with smaller UltraSeries models for delays and fills. PRG Audio supplied all three systems for the touring and resident productions.
Despite the radical differences in venues, Harada credits the Meyer Sound systems with maintaining a uniform sound. "For me, it comes down to consistency and transparency," he says. "I can focus on bringing the audience closer to what is happening on stage with the confidence that the system won't adversely color their experience."
Harada also specified Meyer Sound systems for MDQ's well-received 2010-11 run on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre and in London at the Noël Coward Theatre in 2011-12.
The book for Million Dollar Quartet was written by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott. The Broadway production was nominated for three 2010 Tony Awards, with Levi Kreis (Jerry Lee Lewis) winning Best Featured Actor in a musical.
A long-time associate of Broadway sound designer Tony Meola, Kai Harada currently supervises sound for all productions of Wicked, and has designed around the world using Meyer Sound systems, including Hinterm Horizont in Berlin, and the critically acclaimed revival of Follies on Broadway.
When the Broadway production opened last year, critics and audiences leapt to their feet. The New York Times called the show, "a buoyant new musical that whips the crowd into a frenzy," New York Magazine said it is, "a dazzling raucous spectacle that sounds like a million bucks," and NY1 called it, "90 minutes of platinum grade entertainment." The musical continues its successful New York engagement at New World Stages. The Chicago production of Million Dollar Quartet opened in 2008 and is still playing to packed houses at the Apollo Theatre. The West End production opened in 2011 and played at the Noël Coward Theatre in London for one year.
Million Dollar Quartet is produced by Relevant Theatricals, John Cossette Productions, American Pop Anthology, Broadway Across America and James L. Nederlander.

It's totally excellent when a simple concept results in something inspiring and fun. [Rich Decibel]'s Kequencer is a good example, starting off as many projects do: "I had an idea the other day and I couldn't decide if it was good or not so I just built it to find out." Be still our hackable hearts!
[Rich] built this sleek little sequencer from scratch and while the design may not seem very novel to begin with–eight square wave oscillators with on/off switches and pitch knobs, played in sequence–but the beauty of it is in the nuances of interaction and the potential for further hacking. From watching the video you can see how the controls can be used in very interesting ways to create and mutate adorable chippy tone patterns. Check it out after the crossfade.
Having been based off of [Nicolas Collins]' work (as are all the projects on [Rich]'s blog so far) this instrument is ripe for hacking: the circuits are simple and easy to modify, so the addition of more complex (or just more) modules is a cinch. There's always the Korg Monotron schematics to give you some ideas. Maybe incorporate some digital synthesis into the mix. Or get crazy and include some noise generators and envelopes into the design for some percussive synth possibilities. Step aside, Roland!
In all seriousness, given the quality of [Rich Decibel]'s work we're interested to see what he comes up with in the future. And if you haven't already, check out [Collins]' Handmade Electronic Music. A lot of it is review for the seasoned hacker but it is chock full of excellent know-how and fundamental building blocks for audio electronics. Our in-house how-to on building synths is also a great place to start

WASHINGTON—In an effort to forestall the nation's decline in biodiversity and ecological resources, representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced an expansive new initiative Wednesday aimed at the conservation of whatever's left.
Speaking at a morning press conference, EPA officials told reporters that their new $70 million Save What We Can campaign is directed toward protecting the nation's remaining plant and animal populations, as well as its lakes, marshes, woodlands, and other habitats "insofar as those things are still around."
"By working together with scientists, lawmakers, and various conservation groups, we hope to preserve those ecosystems and forms of wildlife that have actually managed to hang in there for this long," said EPA administrator Gina McCarthy, calling for broad-based environmental stewardship to maintain any natural areas that may still contain a handful of species here and there. "Bears, flowers, tree frogs, maybe even a river or two—if they're still out there, we'll do our best to find and conserve them."
"Basically, whichever organisms are living right now, we're going try to keep them alive," she continued. "If that's still a possibility."
As outlined by McCarthy, the EPA will in the coming months award several dozen grants for research projects aimed at locating any biomes that still have enough flora and fauna and untarnished natural resources such that they remain able to function. Additionally, the agency affirmed its commitment to deploying its personnel nationwide to do "whatever can be done at this point" to safeguard areas that may still contain clean air, clean water, and land that's not completely covered in refuse and filth.
Specifically, McCarthy said the campaign will seek to rescue the country's extant "reptiles, estuaries, some butterflies and, who knows, maybe some coral reefs hopefully," with the EPA chief noting that such threatened ecological assets could possibly persevere if the agency is able to reach them before they die off for good, assuming they're still in existence in the first place.
"There are a lot of ecosystems that are long gone, but it should be noted that there are also a few that have somehow managed to make it this far, so it's important for everyone to do their part to help ensure those remaining parts of nature continue to survive," McCarthy said. "For example, if you come across any plants in your community or maybe some squirrels or a bird of some kind, we ask that you not kill or destroy them. And both individuals and industries should try to avoid putting garbage and chemical runoff into lakes and ponds. You see, a few fish could still be living in those waters, so doing that might kill them, which is actually the opposite of what we're trying to do. So if everyone could just try to rein in that kind of behavior if you can, it would really help us out."
While the EPA's Save What We Can campaign is significantly less ambitious than previous measures to encourage the environment's well-being, McCarthy admitted such past efforts—including attempts to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and foster a nationwide switch to clean energy—were "pretty unrealistic," noting that the agency just has to make do with what little resources remain.
However, McCarthy emphasized that Save What We Can would ultimately have "enormous benefits, for a while, theoretically," as long as a few still-living things eventually cropped up somewhere.
"We've come to realize that any measures aimed at restoring the environment to its former health and vitality or those that try to help a dwindling species recover and thrive really aren't at all feasible for us any longer," McCarthy said. "But through this new initiative, we at least have the opportunity to keep the environment going for a little while longer, which is better than nothing."
"Of course, that's only until our funding is cut even further," McCarthy added. "Then, you know, the environment's pretty much on its own."


text: Apple and other manufacturers may introduce new products with curved touchscreen displays next year, DigiTimes reported on Monday. Apple has reportedly contacted its iPad and iPhone glass suppliers, Lens Technology, G-Tech and Fuji Crystal, and will supply them with equipment for polishing glass. Curved glass displays are not typically used on smartphones, although Google and Samsung did equip the Nexus S with a concave screen and it was noticeably more comfortable during phone calls. The curves also protect the screen from scratches when a phone or tablet placed face-down on a surface. Dell also went with a curved display on its Venue Pro Windows Phone, though it opted for a concave curvature. Corning, which provides scratch-resistant screens for a number of smartphones, has already developed a curved version of its popular Gorilla Glass, but it is unclear if that screen will be used on future Apple products.

I'm happy to reveal the cover for Fighting for Love (Second Chances #4) by L.P. Dover, an NA Contemporary romance releasing March 9th.
Fighting for someone's heart is more challenging than fighting for a title.
For a time, many years ago, love had grown, love was made, and in the end … love was lost. The decision to leave had been the worst mistake Shelby Dawson could have ever made.

Back then, he was all hers and she was all his, but now things have changed and he isn't the same guy she knew.
He happens to be the well-known MMA Heavyweight champion and famous bad boy, Matt 'The Destroyer' Reynolds, who once before struggled to help his family pay the bills. Now, he has money flowing with each undefeated win and an insurmountable number of women filling his bed. Everything is perfect for the illustrious fighter, until one day it all changes. In walks the girl from his past, the same girl who promised to stick by him but left and never looked back.
Their second chance to make things right will not come easy, for when one mistake is made an unwelcome consequence soon follows. Someone out there wants to rip them apart and they won't stop until Matt and Shelby pay the ultimate price … their love.

Noodle Tuesday: spaghetti gelato at Il Gelato Hawaii cafe
Spaghetti gelato?! And who says Germans don't know how to have fun?
Spaghetti gelato, or spaghettieis, is everywhere in Germany, where it was invented. I've never seen it anywhere else, until now. Dirk Koeppenkastrop, our resident German gelato maker, introduces it to Hawaii at the newly opened Il Gelato cafe at Kahala Mall.
It's a dead ringer for spaghetti. And a pretty good sundae to boot. Vanilla gelato is extruded through a ricer on a mound of whipped cream, topped with strawberry sauce and white chocolate crumbles. It's so realistic-looking you want to twirl it around your fork.
Koeppenkastrop's brought in a friend to help him out with the Il Gelato café opening, another German who also owns a gelato cafe, but in Thailand. He tells us that gelato in spaghetti form creates more surface area, making the gelato taste better. (I don't know about that, but I do like the softer consistency.)
He also tells us about a pad thai version he makes in Thailand. Maybe someday, Il Gelato will have a gelato world noodle day. Spaghetti, pad thai, what about look funn gelato?
Until then, there you go, Noodle Tuesday's first dessert noodle.
Il Gelato cafe at Kahala Mall, 4211 Waialae Ave.

In this short abstract-impressionist film the animation and music were made simultaneously in an organic process of symbiotic creativity. Filmmaker Iriz Pääbo tells the highly subjective story of a complete hockey game using a new cinematic vocabulary she calls "animbits." Pääbo readily admits she is not the biggest fan of Canada's national game, so the great, though highly underappreciated NHL stalwart of the '60s and '70s, Eric Nesterenko, was her hockey muse in this artistic journey. A lyrical and wonderfully unorthodox interpretation of hockey.

LACOSTE, Sir ALEXANDRE (baptized Alphonse-Charles-Alexandre), lawyer, professor, politician, and judge; b. 13 Jan. 1842 in Boucherville, Lower Canada, son of Louis Lacoste*, a notary and politician, and Marie-Antoinette-Thaïs Proulx; m. 8 May 1866 Marie-Louise Globensky in Montreal, and they had at least seven daughters and three sons; d. 17 Aug. 1923 in Montreal and was buried 21 August in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery there.
Alexandre Lacoste did his classical studies at the Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe, where he enrolled in 1851. His father's reputation as one of the most highly regarded legal practitioners of his time no doubt drew him to a career in law. After studying at the law faculty of the Université Laval at Quebec in 1858-59, he attended the law school of the Collège Sainte-Marie in Montreal, which was directed by François-Maximilien Bibaud*; there he obtained an llb. He entered the law office of Pierre Moreau, Gédéon Ouimet*, and Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau* as a clerk. In February 1863 he passed the bar entrance examination brilliantly.
Lacoste practised as a lawyer solely in Montreal. From 1863 to 1891 he was a partner, in turn, with Isaïe-A. Jodoin, Charles-André Leblanc*, Francis Cassidy*, William D. Drummond, Benjamin-A. Globensky, Toussaint Brosseau, François-Joseph Bisaillon, and his son-in-law Henri Gérin-Lajoie. He served as bâtonnier of the Montreal bar from 1879 to 1881. Working in particular in commercial law, real estate law, and estate law, he built up a heterogeneous clientele. As a result of the connections he formed in the business world, he sat on a number of boards of directors, including those of the Manitoba Assurance Company and the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company. He also became chairman of the board of control of the Banque Provinciale du Canada. Because of his activities within the Conservative party, he frequently represented politicians involved in contested elections. In 1882 the provincial government retained him as counsel and negotiator in the sale of the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway to the Canadian Pacific Railway and the syndicate put together by Louis-Adélard Senécal* [see Sir Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau], who happened to be one of his clients. He appeared on a number of occasions before Canadian courts at different levels. He also went to London, England, to represent various clients before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Lacoste was one of the first professors in the law faculty of the Montreal branch of the Université Laval. As was customary, he was granted an honorary lld when he took up his duties in December 1879. He held the chair of commercial law and maritime law for the rest of his life. At the time he received his appointments, the expansion of the Université Laval to Montreal [see Édouard-Charles Fabre*] was meeting with opposition. There were those who questioned its right to open a branch there on the basis of the prerogatives granted in its royal charter. The university undertook to put an end to the controversy by asking the Legislative Assembly to intervene. In 1881 the rector, Thomas-Étienne Hamel, and Lacoste appeared before the committee on private members' bills and successfully defended a measure confirming the university's powers [see Chapleau].
Although Lacoste, who was a moderate conservative, was interested in politics, he never sought to become an elected representative. He preferred to carry on his well-established law practice, while exerting influence within the Conservative party, where he helped to resolve thorny matters. Following the Tanneries scandal in 1874, for example, he was among those who concluded that Premier Gédéon Ouimet would have to resign. In 1880 he and a group that included Joseph Tassé*, Louis-Aimé Gélinas, and Jean-Baptiste Renaud* purchased the Conservative newspaper La Minerve. He was appointed to the Legislative Council to represent the division of Mille-Isles in 1882. Chapleau, to whom he was apparently an adviser, was premier at the time. Lacoste remained a legislative councillor until December 1883, and in January 1884 he entered the Senate to represent the division of Lorimier. Parliamentary life held little attraction for him. He rarely took the floor in the Senate and his speeches there were far from noteworthy. He concentrated his energy mainly on the work of the committee studying private members' bills.
In 1891, after serving for several months as speaker of the upper house, Lacoste became chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench for the province of Quebec, replacing Sir Antoine-Aimé Dorion*. On accepting this prestigious appointment, however, he found that his income was reduced, especially since he stopped practising law at the same time. It was probably for this reason that he would continue to hold company directorships until the federal government forbade the judiciary to do so. According to the law reports, Lacoste frequently wrote the reasons behind the rulings on cases appealed to the Court of Queen's Bench. His judgements were rigorous and concise, but offered scant scholarly elaboration. Unlike some of his colleagues, he confined himself to the arguments raised by the parties to a case.
At the end of the 19th century the administration of justice, in particular its high cost and the unequal division of work among the judges, was widely criticized. Around 1892 Lacoste drew up a plan for judicial reform. He proposed that the judges of the Superior Court be grouped together in large urban centres in order to share the burden more equally, work in a more collegial way, and thus develop a more coherent jurisprudence. Thomas Chase-Casgrain* introduced a bill incorporating Lacoste's suggestions in February 1893, but it did not pass.
In 1907 Lacoste resigned from the bench and returned to the practice of law with his sons Paul and Alexandre. Shortly afterwards he agreed to become president of the Conservative Association of Montreal, a move that drew sharp criticism from his political opponents, including Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier*, who considered such conduct unacceptable in someone receiving a government pension.
An open-minded man, Lacoste likely encouraged his daughters to participate in social life. Their mother, a ready supporter of charities who for more than 30 years kept a diary chronicling the developments in their life as a middle-class Montreal family, certainly also encouraged such activity. Marie* and Thaïs, who taught themselves the rudiments of law, campaigned for more civil rights for women through their lectures and writings; Justine founded the Hôpital Sainte-Justine in Montreal in 1907. Interested in matters relating to education, Lacoste collaborated, in particular, in a series of lectures on ordinary law for teachers that was organized by Marie in 1905.
Over the years, Lacoste received many honours. He was named a qc by the provincial government in 1876 and by the federal government in 1880. In 1892 he was made a kcmg. Bishop's College gave him an honorary doctorate in 1895.
Alexandre Lacoste remained firmly attached to a rational approach to the law, as Laurent-Olivier David recalled in Au soir de la vie: "Nothing brilliant, little polish in his arguments in court or his judicial decisions, but plenty of logic, force, and clarity." In this respect, he was the model of the kind of lawyer who would increasingly be seen at the beginning of the 20th century. His character traits, his passion for the law, and his success no doubt explain why he was unwilling to sacrifice his professional career in order to hold prominent offices in the world of politics. Despite this reluctance, he agreed to sit in the upper houses of the province and the country. Close to the seat of power, he played a role as an influential, but discreet, adviser to the Conservative party.

New discoveries by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) offer potential for development of a first-ever pharmacological treatment for cocaine addiction.
A common beta blocker, propranolol, currently used to treat people with hypertension and anxiety, has shown to be effective in preventing the brain from retrieving memories associated with cocaine use in animal-addiction models, according to Devin Mueller, UWM assistant professor of psychology and a co-author with James Otis of the research.
This is the first time that a therapeutic treatment has been shown to block the retrieval of memories associated with drug addiction, a major reason many addicts experience relapse, says Mueller.
The research is published in the August issue of the journal Neuropsychopharmacology (Inhibition of ?-Adrenergic Receptors Induces a Persistent Deficit in Retrieval of a Cocaine-Associated Memory Providing Protection against Reinstatement.)
Cocaine is one of the worst drug addictions to kick, with about 80 percent of those trying to quit experiencing a relapse within six months.
Right now, there are no FDA-approved medications that are known to successfully treat cocaine abuse, says Mueller, only those that are used to treat the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal, which are largely ineffective at preventing relapse.
The effects of propranolol were long-lasting and could be permanent, he says, even without subsequent doses and even in the presence of stimuli known to induce relapse.
Currently, exposure therapy is used to help recovering addicts suppress their drug-seeking behavior. In this therapy, the patient is repeatedly exposed to stimuli that provoke cravings but do not satisfy them. Done repeatedly over time, the patient experiences less craving when presented with those stimuli.
The success of exposure therapy, however, is limited. Combining therapy with the use of propranolol, says Mueller, would boost the effectiveness of the treatment.
Propranolol was chosen for the memory study because it has been used before to ease some withdrawal symptoms experienced by recovering cocaine addicts. Those using the drug were able to continue exposure therapy for longer periods than those without the drug.
But Mueller adds that propranolol has never been tested for use with memory extinction before.
In order to develop a drug treatment for overcoming relapse, the next step in the research is to determine where in the brain propranolol acts to mediate the retrieval of cocaine-associated memories.

Schering-Plough Shareholder Resolution 2009
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ADVISORY VOTERESOLVED, that shareholders of Schering-Plough Corporation request the board of directors to adopt a policy that provides shareholders the opportunity at each annual shareholder meeting to vote on an advisory resolution, proposed by management, to ratify the compensation of the named executive officers ("NEOs") set forth in the proxy statement's Summary Compensation Table (the "SCT") and the accompanying narrative disclosure of material factors provided to understand the SCT (but not the Compensation Discussion and Analysis). The proposal submitted to shareholders should make clear that the vote is non-binding and would not affect any compensation paid or awarded to any NEO.
In our view, senior executive compensation at Schering-Plough has not always been structured in ways that best serve stockholders' interests. Investors across the country are increasingly concerned about mushrooming executive compensation especially when insufficiently linked to performance. In 2008, shareholders filed close to 100 "Say on Pay" resolutions. Votes on these resolutions have averaged over 43% in favor, with ten votes over 50%, demonstrating strong shareholder support for this reform.
An Advisory Vote establishes an annual referendum process for shareholders about senior executive compensation. We believe the results of this vote, combined with dialogue with investors, would provide the board and management useful information about shareholder views on the company's senior executive compensation.
In its 2008 proxy, Aflac submitted an advisory vote resulting in a 93% vote in favor, indicating strong investor support for good disclosure and a reasonable compensation package. Daniel Amos, Chairman and CEO said, "An advisory vote on our compensation report is a helpful avenue for our shareholders to provide feedback on our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy and pay package."
To date, ten other companies have also agreed to an advisory vote, including Verizon, MBIA, H&R Block, Ingersoll Rand, Blockbuster, and Tech Data. TIAA-CREF, the country's largest pension fund, has successfully utilized the advisory vote twice.
Influential proxy voting service RiskMetrics Group recommends votes in favor, noting: "RiskMetrics encourages companies to allow shareholders to express their opinions of executive compensation practices by establishing an annual referendum process. An advisory vote on executive compensation is another step forward in enhancing board accountability."
The Council of Institutional Investors endorsed advisory votes, and a bill to allow annual advisory votes passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 2-to-1 margin. We believe the statesmanlike approach for company leaders is to adopt an advisory vote voluntarily before being required to do so by law.
We believe that existing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and stock exchange listing standards do not provide shareholders with sufficient mechanisms for providing input to boards on senior executive compensation. In contrast, in the United Kingdom, public companies allow shareholders to cast a vote on the "directors' remuneration report," which discloses executive compensation. Such a vote is not binding, but gives shareholders a clear voice that could help shape senior executive compensation.

Peyton Manning tosses 3 TDs for 72nd time in his career
DENVER -- By his own estimation, Peyton Manning is not the quarterback he used to be.
Try telling that to the Cleveland Browns.
Manning threw for a season-high 339 yards and three touchdowns, two of which he zinged into impossibly tight windows to well-covered receivers, That pushed the Denver Broncos into a first-place tie in the AFC standings with a 34-12 win over the Browns.
The 36-year-old quarterback got his 72nd career three-touchdown game Sunday as Denver (12-3) won its 10th straight. Manning has 34 touchdowns and 4,355 passing yards this season -- second-most touchdowns he's thrown in his 14 seasons and 203 away from second-most yards, as well.
Yet, when asked if he's playing as well as he did in his prime, Manning didn't hesitate: "I don't. I do not. I don't," he said.
"A 36-year-old quarterback coming off a year and a half off, playing on a new team, I'm trying to be as good as I possibly can in this scenario," he said in an unusually candid news conference. "It's a different kind of body I'm playing in and just a different kind of quarterback play for me."
Yes, Manning says, it takes more time with the trainer, more time in the weight room and there's more mystery because of the injury. But when he hits the field, he looks like the quarterback who has a record four Most Valuable Player awards and is in the running for a fifth.
His first two touchdown passes, to Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, were Exhibits A and B of his prowess on a breezy, warm day the quarterback used to test out an orange glove. He may use it when the weather gets colder come playoff time.
The throw to Thomas was a 22-yarder lobbed to the back of the end zone. The 10-yard touchdown to Decker was more of a laser. Like the Thomas touchdown, it was thrown in leaping range of the receiver where only he could catch it.
"People call that the Dwight Clark throw," Manning said of the iconic Joe Montana-to-Dwight Clark touchdown that won the 1981 NFC title game for San Francisco.
Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown had blanket-tight coverage on both balls. Sometimes the other guy is simply better.
"I've seen him do a lot of special things," said receiver Brandon Stokley, who also played with Manning in Indianapolis. "It would be hard, at this point, for anything he does to surprise me."
Manning's mastery opens things up for the Denver defense to get aggressive, and it did -- finishing with six sacks, all in the second half.
Von Miller was in on two, the second of which knocked quarterback Brandon Weeden out of the game with an injury to his right shoulder. Late in the fourth quarter, Browns running back Trent Richardson was carted off the field, with trainers looking at his left ankle. Coach Pat Shurmur offered no additional information on the injuries.
Cleveland (5-10) lost its second straight after winning three in a row.
"Our record (stinks) and everybody is disappointed," defensive back Joe Haden said. "Every week it seems like you lose a game and you try to explain why it happened, that you just lost. We need to do better. We just need to win. We can't keep coming here talking all the same."
As good as the Broncos were, there were frustrations. Denver finished with a season-high 11 penalties; Manning threw an interception that ended a long second-quarter drive inside the Cleveland 10; Broncos kick returners bobbled the ball twice, but recovered both; Browns lineman Billy Winn plowed guard Zane Beadles into Manning, altering the trajectory of the pass 30 feet into the air for an incompletion. Manning pounded his fist into the turf after that one.
Imperfections like that have helped the Broncos stay remarkably focused on next week -- in this case, a regular-season finale against Kansas City (2-13) -- instead of a playoff road that seemingly looks easier after every win. This week, it was Houston falling at home, 23-6 to Minnesota, dropping the Texans into a tie for the first spot in the AFC. Houston holds the tiebreaker against Denver, but has a much tougher game -- at Indianapolis (10-5).
"We see it," Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said of the standings. "But it doesn't distract us."
Miller's 1½ sacks gave him 17½ for the season, topping Elvis Dumervil's franchise record by a half-sack.
"Individual accomplishments are great, but I think it just says the type of defense that we play here," Miller said.
Denver put this game away during an eight-minute stretch in the third quarter after Cleveland cut its deficit to 14-6.
Manning led a 91-yard touchdown drive, highlighted when he threw a dart that slammed off Decker's hands and dropped into Stokley's. Just another Broncos first down -- and another sign this was not Cleveland's day. Two plays later, Manning hit Decker for an 8-yard touchdown, and three plays after that, Miller knocked Weeden out of the game.
Denver reached 30 points for the 10th time this season, yet another benchmark of success for Manning, a quarterback who insists age and injury have turned him into someone much different than what he once was.
"The ramifications of the (injury) is part of it, and part of it is probably being 36, and part of it is probably playing with a new team," he said. "You can probably add them all together. I'm just trying to kind of be the best I can be in this role."
Game notes
With his 53 yards, Richardson has 950, surpassing Jim Brown for the franchise rookie record. ... Denver's 10-game win streak matches the second longest in franchise history, in 1984, when John Elway was quarterback. ... Manning passed Elway and Jake Plummer for second most yards passing in a season for the Broncos. Manning needs 172 to break Jay Cutler's record.

29" Slim LED Polished Brass Picture LightFeatures: Bulb Type: LEDBulb Included: YFinish: Polished BrassExtension: 8"Switch: In-lineShade Size: 29"Family: Slim-lineCA Title 20 Compliant: YesBulb: LED Manufacturer Detail Tucked into the northern Vermont hills, just down the road from the picturesque ski village of Stowe, House of Troy has been producing classic lighting since the mid 1940s. Though off the beaten path and far from the spotlights of the big cities, the House of Troy reputation burns brightly. For nearly sixty years, the company has been offering lighting known for its craftsmanship and quality. The company was founded across the Vermont border in Montreal in 1947 by Everett Bailey. In its first years, the company was a small custom lamp shop selling to gift and department stores in and around the Canadian city. The founder's son, Norm Bailey, took over the business in 1960, moved the business to North Troy, Vermont and renamed the company "House of Troy." It was the younger Bailey who designed the tooling to make the "best picture lights available" and introduced them to stores throughout the Northeast. House of Troy began expanding its increasingly popular picture lighting when Kent and Natalie Mitchell purchased the business in 1982. The Mitchells added to the small staff of six, introduced a line of quality piano lamps, and took the House of Troy line to the International Lighting Show in Dallas. As the company expanded, it outgrew the North Troy location. A former "cow barn turned dance hall and roller-skating rink" in nearby Hyde Park, Vermont became the new location for a portion of the manufacturing operations. Eventually, all operations were moved from North Troy to Hyde Park; the name - known by this time throughout North America - remained the same. House of Troy designs and crafts all of its products to assure lasting performance. Although many of its products continue to be designed and manufactured in Hyde Park, Vermont, the company also sources parts and products worldwide in order to provide the best possible value to its customers.

Notebooks are not as flexible as a desktop setup when it comes to upgrading the system. You cannot just change or upgrade a component as you can do with your desktop. When you make your choice, you've made it.
For this reason, we recommend you to think carefully about what you will do with your next laptop before you make the purchase. In this guide, we want to take you through the factors and features you need to keep in mind while purchasing a new notebook.
When it comes to notebook, size matters. Based on what you want to be doing with your notebook, you'll want to make sure you pick the right size that's the right fit for you. As you cannot change the size later, like you can upgrade the RAM or ROM, it is crucial to pick the right size.
Notebook sizes tend to start at 11.6-inches and go all the way up to 17.3 inches. If portability is what you are looking for, you'll want to go for a smaller sized notebook. Smaller sized notebooks, however, don't usually support high-end CPUs or graphics card that comes with their 15.6 counterparts.
There are convertibles, also known as 2-in-1 laptops, allow you to run your PC in tablet mode when you fold or remove the keyboard. Convertibles of several brands, including HP and Lenovo, are currently available at Ryans. You can check our online store or physically visit any of our showrooms for a closer look.
If you are a heavy gamer, you should opt for gaming laptops with beefier specs and bulkier form-factor.
Screen Resolution
Along with the size, screen resolution of your next notebook should also be taken into account. You'll probably end up staring at your screen hours at a time, so it is important to get a screen that is comfortable to look at.
You need to consider whether you want your notebook to have a touchscreen. Although touchscreens make your tasks easy, sometimes these screens come with undesired glossiness, which could hurt gameplay, editing images and video content. So, think carefully about your tasks to be done and make the right decision. Lenovo Yoga 920 and HP Spectre 13-AF515TU, these two models are currently available at Ryans, you can knock us on our FB page or call us @ +8809604442121 for any query.
Anyways, next jump into the next thing to take into account while speaking about the display, screen resolution. The minimum screen resolution you'll usually find is 1366x768 pixels. You should go for a 1920x1080-pixel resolution if you want plenty of space to keep things in view. Some modern notebooks also offer 4K resolution but you have to pay a premium to have such high-spec resolution.
If you are a gamer, you must check the refresh rate, as a faster refresh rate can give you a competitive advantage in online gaming.
Viewing angle is another important factor to take into account. A laptop with an IPS display usually offers the widest viewing angle to suit your needs.
For longer typing sessions, you should opt for a notebook that has a comfortable layout with full-sized keys and some space around the arrow keys. The keys should have adequate travel on the downstroke and snappy responsiveness when you let them go. You need to make sure the keyboard has backlit if you often type in dimly lit environments.
Intel's core-based processors are usually anyone's preferred choice when it comes to buying a new notebook. In terms of multitasking and multimedia tasks, an Intel core processor offers the best performance in general. Entry-level systems come with core-i3 processors, while the majority of the mainstream computers are powered by core i5 processor.
You should opt for core i7-based system if you want the best performance from your notebook. Extremely high-end laptops house core i9 processors but they come with a hefty price tag.
Some vendors are providing laptops and notebooks that run on AMD's Ryzen Mobile CPUs. If you are a gamer, you should note that Ryzen Mobile CPUs come with AMD's own Vega graphics chipsets, which are far better than Intel's onboard graphics.
Unless you are an extremely lightweight user, you should pick a notebook with at least 4 GB of RAM. 8 GB Ram is considered as a perfect choice for productivity users nowadays. 16 GB of RAM is the way to go if you're a power user. Gamers may opt for 32 GB of RAM to have the desired gaming experience they want.
Many say the days of hard drives are gone and it is time to embrace SSDs. Slow and bulky HDDs, which generate both heat and noise, are not a good option for thin and light notebooks. SSDs, one the other hand, offer a lot more speed compared to HDDs. These drives also run silently and don't add much to the weight of a notebook.
But SSDs don't come with much capacity and these drives are more expensive than traditional HDDs. You will end up with a drive that's either 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB in size but costs more than a 1 TB or 2 TB HDD.
To find a sweet spot, many laptop manufacturers now pair a smaller SSD with a larger hard drive. This allows users to keep the OS on SSD to have the speed benefit and keep media and other data on the HDD.
Battery Life
The battery life of a notebook depends on many variables, such as screen brightness, screen resolution, number of applications running in the background, plus whether or not you remain connected to Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth devices. The operating system also plays a major role in terms of determining battery life. That's why notebook with Chrome OS tend to offer better battery life compared to those with Windows 10.
If you run multiple programs at a time, stream lots of online videos, and play high-end games or transfer lots of files over wireless network, then your battery will drain a lot sooner.
Looking at the rating of the battery in watt-hours (Wh) or milliamp-hours (mAh) is an effective way to determine battery life. The larger these figures are, the longer the battery can last.
Due to the limited room around its base, a notebook has far fewer ports than a desktop setup. Some notebooks have as few as two USB ports. In such cases, you may need to unplug one device to plug in another. Larger laptops usually have at least three USB ports, which is fine for most users. Many present-day notebooks have at least one USB 3.0 [USB 3.1 Gen 1] port for faster data transfer, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0. if possible, you should take things a step further and go for a laptop with USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, as the data transfer rate is as high as 10 Gbps.
You're ready to embrace USB Type-C, Thunderbolt 3 ports offer an even better option. Thunderbolt 3 ports have a peak data transfer speed of 40 gigabits per second.
We've tried to cover all you need to know before making an informed purchase decision. If you have any query over any particular spec or product, feel free to knock us. We, at Ryans, believe it is our duty to take you through so that you get the best out of your budget.

Demi Lovato recently admitted that her fans would be "shocked" to hear her drug and alcohol abuse stories, and now the 21-year-old singer is opening up about her some of her darkest days.
"Something I've never talked about before, but with my drug use I could hide it to where I would sneak drugs. I couldn't go without 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes," the "Skyscraper" singer confessed in a candid new interview with Access Hollywood. "I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there. I'd sneak to the bathroom and I'd do it."
The erstwhile Disney star, who now leads a sober lifestyle, abruptly withdrew from the Jonas Brothers' Live in Concert tour in October 2010 to enter a treatment facility for "physical and emotional issues" at the young age of 18, but she admits she was still reluctant to accept help from others.
"That's how difficult it got and that was even with somebody [with me]," Lovato continued, recalling the severity of her addiction. "I had a sober companion, somebody who was watching me 24/7 and living with me [and] I was able to hide it from them as well."
That is, until she hit rock bottom at the age of 19.
"I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just 9 in the morning and I was throwing up in the car and this was just to get on a plane to go back to L.A. to the sober living house that I was staying at…I had all the help in the world, but I didn't want it," she revealed on Monday, Dec. 9, from the set of the X Factor. "When I hit that moment I was like, it's no longer fun when you're doing it alone. I've really never talked about this stuff before…I don't know if I should be sharing this."
It was then that the blue-haired beauty finally came to terms with her issues and decided to turn her life around.
"I think at 19 years old, I had a moment where I was like, 'Oh my God…that is alcoholic behavior. [It's] no longer, I'm young and rebellious and out having fun, it was, wow, I'm one of those people…I gotta get my s--t together,'" she explained.
Lovato, who also previously revealed that she's bipolar and has opened up about her past use of cutting as a way to cope, also shared insight into her struggle with an eating disorder, which she says began well before she was a teenager.
"It was always there, but then I just acted on it at around 8 or 9 years old," she revealed. "I started overeating, compulsively overeating. I would bake cookies and then eat the whole pan. I went from doing that to being unhappy with my body. I went to just completely starving myself and that turned into throwing up and starving myself and it was just this crazy battle going on inside of me. It got really difficult [and] I would throw up and it would just be blood and it was something that I realized if I don't stop this, I am going to die."
Demi's mother, Dianna, also participated in the telling interview and admitted that some of her daughter's struggles stemmed from her own issues. She revealed she suffered from a "terrible eating disorder" and "severe depression," but luckily, after seeking help, the mother-daughter duo is now stronger than ever.
"I'm so…proud of her it makes me so happy," Demi said of her mother. "I love her so much."
Lovato most recently released her first book, Staying Stong: 365 Days a Year, which chronicles her "struggles ranging from addiction to depression, all the while on a search for self-discovery and happiness." She is also currently writing a tell-all, which will most likely be released next year.

I've had diabetes for 18 years. To put that in perspective, Bill Clinton was at the beginning of his first term in office when I was diagnosed. Tom Brady was a backup quarterback that no one had ever heard of. And it would still be six years until I caved in and bought my first cell phone. It got me wondering how many insulin shots I've taken in my life. Eighteen years, times 365 days, times four shots a day, for a grand total of 26,280! Oh, how the skin on my stomach must hate me.
Twenty six thousand two hundred eighty! That is a huge number! The circumference of our Earth is 24,901 miles. I've taken one shot for each mile, plus a few thousand extra! And it's not just shots, either. How many test strips have I gone through over the course of my life? Twenty thousand? Twenty five thousand? It's staggering.
After I calculated all of this, another question popped into my head: How many of those 26,280 shots did I take in public, on a park bench, the sidewalk, a bus, a subway, or similar conspicuous spot? My guess would be at least 4,000. And that brings me to the point of today's entry: Diabetes in public places!
When I was first diagnosed, I was incredibly self-conscious about injecting myself in front of anyone. Even at home, I would excuse myself from the table, run to the bathroom, inject my insulin, and return to eat. As time wore on, I got a little more comfortable. I wouldn't leave the table if it was just close family. If I was outside and absolutely no one could see me, I might skip finding the nearest public restroom.
Fast-forward 18 years and things have changed. City bus, park bench, subway, no problem. I'm not saying I'm not discrete about it. If I'm at a restaurant I do it under the table, but I seldom seek out the bathroom anymore. And I've stopped caring quite so much what other people might think if they see me. I used to worry about that — worry that they might think I was doing something illicit, or see me as somehow "weird" if they caught me injecting myself out of the corner of their eye.
But that's the beauty of time. Eventually, all such worries fade away, either because we loosen up, or our time on this planet expires and our earthly anxieties dissipate (or, according to some, dissipate, float in the ethers, and coalesce again into a new incarnation full of more worry… But that's a discussion for a whole other blog). I still ask bandmates if they're squeamish and warn them to look away if they are, but I don't hide my diabetes from anyone anymore. I don't feel self-conscious giving the "here's what you need to know about my condition" speech to fellow musicians before touring. I don't worry if someone sees me injecting myself and scowls or scurries away from me.
I suppose my real point here is this: It is your choice how much you want to share about your condition. And that will be different for everyone. Some might feel more comfortable excusing themselves to the bathroom. Sometimes the table really isn't the right place for a shot — at an important business meeting, perhaps. And consideration for other people is important. I wouldn't suggest going out trying to shock anyone. But there's no need to feel embarrassed about diabetes, either. You don't need to feel bad about it, you don't need to hide it, and you don't need to bend over backwards to cover it up for the people around you. After all, at the end of the day, diabetes is going home with you. You're the one who has to live with it 24 hours a day. You shouldn't have to hide it.
Hiding it is what I felt I had to do when I was first diagnosed. I felt different, and I didn't want other people to see it. I didn't want to think about it myself. That started to change for me when I was 16. I went to a summer camp for kids with diabetes. It was my mother who discovered it and encouraged the idea. I was skeptical, and felt that going to a "special diabetes camp" would be utterly horrifying. But very soon after arriving, I realized something: far from reinforcing a feeling of being "different," I felt at home.
Here I was with 50 to 60 other kids my own age, from all walks of life, who shared my experience. No one had to explain to anyone else what diabetes was, nobody had to explain what they were doing when they checked their blood glucose or injected insulin. Everyone knew what it felt like to be low, and how to respond to it. And I realized that the world was FULL of people with diabetes! It was a wonderful feeling, and it freed me to stop worrying so much about what other people might think about me if they knew.
Diabetes affects roughly 1 in 12 people in the United States. That's nearly 26,000,000 people. We are good people, bad people, millionaires, out of work, Republicans, Democrats, artists, lawyers, smart people, idiots, Broncos fans, Raiders fans, Red Sox fans, and Yankees fans… we cover the entire spectrum. We're people, united by a common challenge. And we don't need to hide it.
I've gotten away from a good habit in recent weeks. When this blog started, I tried to end each week with an invitation to readers to share their stories. So let me end this one the proper way, and once again invite comments. What do you share with others, and what do you keep to yourself about diabetes? Do you worry what other people are thinking about you when they see you taking a shot or checking your glucose? How has your relationship to diabetes changed over the years, particularly those of you who have lived with it for 20, 30, or 40 years? And, most importantly, if forced to choose, would you root for the Red Sox or the Yankees?
(The correct answer is Red Sox…)

Let's cut right to the chase: I have two custom post types: interviews and people. They both have custom taxonomy names. In interviews there is a video interview with one particular person along with the transcript of the video. In people, there is a short biography and a photo of that person.
On my home page I want to display randomly picked interview: title, short excerpt of the video interview transcript - and I need a photo of that person. Which I need to pull from the custom post type for that person which is people custom post type.
The way I figure it out is that I need a query within a query. First is to pick a random interview and then to somehow find the people post with the same names term as that particular random interview.
Can someone help me with this?
@toscho ok, so this is my code with post 2 post plugin:
<?php query_posts(
array (
'post_type' => 'interviews',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'orderby' => 'rand',
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>

// Find connected pages
$connected = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'people',
'connected_from' => get_queried_object_id(),
// Display connected pages
while ( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post();?>

Person in this interview: <?php the_title();?>

<?php endwhile;
// Prevent weirdness
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query();?>
It still doesn't work. It displays all the peoples' names, no matter which one is connected to that interview

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are planning to honor the 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron's record 715th home run in a pregame ceremony before their home opener against the Mets on April 8.
The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aaron's autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner.
Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record on April 8, 1974, at old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. He finished his career with 755 homers, a record passed by Barry Bonds, who finished with 762.
Braves president John Schuerholz said the anniversary "deserves a season-long celebration."
Aaron celebrated his 80th birthday on Feb. 5.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded for Alex Smith and signed Chase Daniel to bolster their quarterback depth chart. Now, they've finally made the move we expected long ago. Matt Cassel is a free agent.
Free-agent tracker
Where will Greg Jennings wind up? Follow him and all the other NFL players on the move in our free-agent tracker. More ...
The team released Cassel on Thursday in an oddly belated move. He started 47 games in four seasons with the Chiefs after former GM Scott Pioli acquired Cassel from the New England Patriots.
Cassel never quite developed beyond being a capable, but slightly below average, NFL starting quarterback. He piled up 59 touchdowns and 44 interceptions in four years with the Chiefs and helped the team win the AFC West title in 2010. But his accuracy, pocket composure and ability to improve the players around him never developed.
He was a solid-enough option in 2009, but the Chiefs surely hoped that he'd improve more with additional time on the field. Cassel has been closely tied in rumors to the Minnesota Vikings as a potential backup to Christian Ponder. Cassel could also fit in Arizona as a potential starter, or back in New England as a backup quarterback if the Patriots trade Ryan Mallet.
Cassel isn't quite a "franchise quarterback" but he should improve some team fairly soon. Look for him to find a job.
