First thing in my email inbox this morning was an "Advocacy Alert" from the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA): It was the "2012 Resolution Kit," a kickoff notice to get the wheels rolling so that NYSSBA presents a united front in lobbying the state legislature. This was a rather tame "alert," as these things go. Others have had a Whitney Tilson quality: "Free the Schools!" or "Full Court Press!" or "Mandate Relief? Give us a break!"
Like many such organizations, NYSSBA can be wordy and bureaucratic, but I was happy to see that this year's kit included a statement that "the Association currently lacks resolutions addressing some of public education's most pressing issues" and that "examples of issues that lack the support or opposition of a NYSSBA resolution are:
The second resolution signals a major move forward on the part of an...

If a public school student wants to take an Advanced Placement course from Apex Learning, a respected provider of online AP instruction, who should determine whether the student may do so? Today, the answer is almost uniformly, the local school board (or charter board) that governs the student's school. Should it be so?
States have long delegated to local boards the authority to determine how students satisfy state standards such as graduation requirements. If a student wants to meet a state standard by some means other than what his or her school is offering, local board policies determine whether the student may. This makes a certain amount of sense. Students and families may want an option of dubious academic value.
But boards may decide these matters with more on...
As was widely reported (see here, here, and here) Jeb Bush endorsed Mitt Romney yesterday.
The Times called it a "coveted endorsement"—and indeed it is, no matter how much fun Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich had at poor Eric Fehrnstrom's expense. (For the record, that same day Fehrnstrom, a longtime Romney advisor, gave a televised interview in which he said "I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign…. Everything changes [when he's running against Obama]. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.")
Jeb Bush, who has been a tireless education reformer since the mid-nineties, is no Etch A Sketch. And by coincidence I was lucky enough to spend some time with the popular two-term Florida governor (1999—2007) just last week as part Education...
Guest blogger John Kirtley is the founder of two private equity firms in Tampa, FL. He is the chairman of Step Up For Students, a non-profit that administers the tax credit scholarship program and which now empowers the parents of nearly 40,000 low income Florida children who attend a private school of their choice, and of the Florida Federation for Children, a "527" political organization active in Florida legislative races. He is vice chair of the American Federation For Children, a national parental choice advocacy organization, and also a board member of the Florida Charter School Alliance and the Hillsborough County (Tampa) Education Foundation.
The most important governance question is: "Will low income and working class parents truly direct the taxpayer dollars used to educate their children?"
The definition of "public education" is changing rapidly, even if some don't want it to. It used to mean giving taxpayer dollars solely to districts to operate all schools, where kids are assigned by zip code. The emerging definition, which I prefer, is using taxpayer dollars to educate children in the best way possible for each of them,...

Previously, he had served in the Clinton Administration and as a senior staffer in the California State Senate and the United States Congress. He currently writes and consults on education issues.

We have spent most of the last three years watching Congress contemplate reauthorizing No Child Left Behind.
That contemplation has involved endless discussions of all sorts of issues and ideologies, but it has missed what may be the most important question in American public education today: Can we trust school districts to deliver the kind of education we want for our kids?
Does trust matter? Absolutely.
There are two indisputable facts that underscore the importance of trust. On the one hand, there are absolutely terrific districts in this country. They are so good and so effective at teaching every...
Guest blogger Neerav Kingsland is the chief strategy officer for New Schools for New Orleans. In this post, originally published on the Title I-Derland blog, he explains the lessons education reformers can learn from Europe's transition away from communism.
Andre Shleifer, a professor of Economics at Harvard, recently wrote an excellent article: "Seven Things I Learned About Transition from Communism." In case you don't know Andre, some consider him to be the most cited economist in the world.
The analysis is interesting throughout—it deviates from both "progressive" and "conservative" talking points on key issues. Take five minutes and read the whole thing.
For those of us Relinquishers who see opportunity in moving public schooling from government-operated to government-regulated and non-profit run, lessons abound. For those skeptical of these types of reforms—lessons also abound. See below for the summary of Andrei's lessons—laced with my takeaways for improving our educational system:
Lesson 1: "First, in all countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, economic activity shrunk at the beginning of transition, in...
The big news last week was the release of data by the U.S. Department of Education showing that, as the press release stated,
The report, part of the annual Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) survey, included data from 72,000 schools serving 85 percent of the nation's students and found, among other things, that black male students "are far more likely to be suspended than their peers." In fact, it reported, though black students make up 18 percent of the students in the sample, they accounted for 35 percent of the students suspended once and 39 percent of the students expelled.
When I read this, I yawned. It matches perfectly the statistics in my school district. But just as my district pays little attention to the academic environment that these...
In part 1 of my New York City teacher evaluation commentary, I explained the judicial decision which determined that the public had a right to know how individual teachers were doing. Most tellingly, perhaps, was Judge Kern's dismissal of the argument that flaws in the data mattered to her decision. Referring to a previous ruling by the state's highest court, Kern said, "there is no requirement that data be reliable for it to be disclosed."
This means that we have to do this in public, a welcome window-opening in a system of baroque halls and closets. The New York Times, one of the media outlets that had sued to gain access to the Teacher Data Reportshan (TDR), made the data available and issued an invitation to teachers to "respond to your data report."
In fact, surprising many, Michael Winerip, the On Education columnist for the Times and normally no friend to education reform, had it about right:
Everyone predicted that Justice Cynthia Kern's ruling last January to allow the release of the value-added scores for New York City teachers—with the teachers' names—would set off a firestorm when the names were released (which is what happened when Los Angeles did the same thing in 2010). And it did.
"Teachers will be right in feeling assaulted and compromised," declared Merryl Tisch, chancellor of New York State's Board of Regents, just after New York City released some 18,000 teacher evaluations to the public last week.
"The arrogance of some people to say that the parents don't have the ability to look at numbers and put them in context and to make decisions is just astounding to me," Mayor Michael Bloomberg shot back. "This is about our kids' lives. This is not about anything else."
That pretty much set the tone for the debate: another assault on teachers versus the public's right to know. And it turns out that the best...
In another life, I was a crime writer. True crime. I've interviewed 14-year-old murderers and 15-year-old rapists, written books about college graduates who commit murder, about lowlife "woodchucks" who do the same. And anyone who has ever sat in a kitchen with a mother whose 12-year-old daughter was stabbed to death or sat alone in a room trying to recreate these gruesome scenes on paper—well, this is why I left the field and did not look back.
But my heart goes out to the parents, family, and friends of the victims of the Chardon, Ohio, shooting. And to school personnel at Chardon High School—this is when you earn your angel wings.
I know that educators all over the country are now huddling with their school security officers and school counselors and social workers. They are reviewing their building entry and lock-down procedures and reviewing the student suspension files, to look again at the records of children who may have been kicked out of school for carrying a weapon or threatening to harm someone or—or what? Everyone is asking...

Endocardial cushion defect
Endocardial cushion defect (ECD) is an abnormal heart condition in which the walls separating all four chambers of the heart are poorly formed or absent. It is a
Alternative Names
Atrioventricular (AV) canal defect; Atrioventricular septal defect; AVSD
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Endocardial cushion defect occurs while a baby is still growing in the womb. The endocardial cushions are two areas of thickening that eventually develop into the wall (septum) that separates the four chambers of the heart. They also form the mitral and tricuspid valves, the valves that separate the atria (top collecting chambers) from the ventricles (bottom pumping chambers).
The lack of separation between the two sides of the heart causes several problems:
- Increased blood pressure in the lungs. In persons with this condition, blood flows through the abnormal openings from the left to the right side of the heart, then to the lungs. The increased blood flow into the lungs leads to a rise in blood pressure in the lungs.
- Irritation and swelling. This is caused by increased blood flow into the lungs.
- Heart failure. Because the heart has to pump more blood to the lungs, it has to work much harder than normal. The heart may enlarge and weaken.
- Cyanosis. As the blood pressure increases in the lungs, blood flow starts to move from the right side of the heart to the left. The oxygen-poor blood mixes with the oxygen-rich blood, and blood with less oxygen than usual is pumped out to the body. This causes cyanosis, or bluish coloring of the skin.
There are two types of ECD:
- Complete ECD: A complete ECD involves an
atrial septal defect(ASD) and a ventricular septal defect(VSD). Persons with a complete ECD have only one large heart valve (common AV valve) instead of two distinct valves (mitral and tricuspid).
- Partial (or incomplete) ECD: Only an ASD, or an AD and VSD are present. There are two distinct valves, but one of them (the mitral valve) is often abnormal with an opening ("cleft") in it, often letting blood leak back through the valve.
ECD is strongly associated with Down syndrome. Several gene changes are also connected to ECD. However, the exact cause of ECD is unknown.
ECD may be associated with other congenital heart defects such as:
Double outlet right ventricle
- Single ventricle
Transposition of the great vessels Tetralogy of Fallot
Symptoms of ECD may include:
- Baby tires easily
- Bluish skin color (the lips may also be blue)
- Failure to gain weight and grow
- Frequent pneumonia
- Lack of appetite
- Pale skin (pallor)
- Rapid breathing
- Rapid heartbeat
- Sweating
- Swollen legs or abdomen (rare in children)
- Trouble breathing, especially during feeding
Signs and tests
Signs of ECD may include:
- An abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG)
- An enlarged heart
- Heart murmur
Children with partial ECD, who have only a small VSD and normal valves, may not have signs or symptoms of the disorder during childhood.
Tests to diagnose ECD include:
- Ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to see blood flow
- An electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures the electrical activity in the heart
- Chest x-ray, which may show an enlarged heart
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, which provides a detailed image of the heart through the use of powerful magnets
- Cardiac catheterization (in some cases), a procedure in which a thin tube (catheter) is placed into the heart to see blood flow and take accurate measurements of blood pressure and oxygen levels
Surgery is needed to close the holes between the heart chambers, and to separate the common valve into distinct tricuspid and mitral valves. The timing of the surgery depends on the child's condition and the severity of the ECD. It can usually be done when the baby is 3 - 6 months old. Correcting an ECD may require more than one surgery.
Your doctor may prescribe medication before surgery if the ECD has made your baby very sick. The medicines will help the child gain weight and strength before surgery. Medications may include:
- Diuretics (water pills)
- Drugs that make the heart contract more forcefully (inotropic agents), such as digoxin
Surgery for a complete ECD should be done in the baby's first year of life, before irreversible lung damage occurs. Babies with Down syndrome tend to develop lung disease earlier, and therefore early surgery is very important for these babies.
See also:
Congenital heart defect corrective surgery Pediatric heart surgery
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)How well your baby does depends on the severity of the ECD, the child's overall health, and whether lung disease has already developed. Many children live normal, active lives after the ECD is corrected.
Complications from ECD may include:
- Congestive heart failure
- Death
Eisenmenger syndrome
- High blood pressure in the lungs
- Irreversible damage to the lungs
Certain complications of ECD surgery may not appear until the child is an adult. These include heart rhythm problems and a leaky mitral valve.
Children with congenital heart disease may need to take antibiotics before dental treatment. This helps prevent complications related to heart infections. Ask a cardiologist whether your child needs to take antibiotics.
Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if your child seems to tire easily, has trouble breathing, or has bluish skin or lips. You should also consult your health care provider if your baby is not growing or gaining weight.
ECD is associated with several genetic abnormalities. Couples with a family history of ECD may wish to seek genetic counseling before becoming pregnant.

Press Release
Attorney General's Office on Lookout for Gasoline Price Gouging
September 2, 2005
(Anchorage) - Attorney General David W. Márquez said today that his office has not received any reports of dramatic increases in gasoline prices in Alaska in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
"If consumers observe unwarranted price increases for fuel, we ask you to file a complaint with the Department of Law, Consumer Protection Unit," said Márquez. "Setting unconscionably high prices may constitute an unfair trade practice in violation of our consumer protection laws."
Márquez noted that consumers may experience some increases in prices in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. However, he warned that his office will investigate reports of unreasonably high gas prices to ensure that there has been no violation of our consumer protection or antitrust laws.
Consumer complaints may be filed in writing using forms obtained from the Department of Law offices or at the department's website.
You can also contact the Consumer protection Unit at: (907) 269-5200, or toll free at: 1-888-576-2529.

Chelsea playmaker Kevin de Bruyne is set to leave the club in January against the wishes of manager Jose Mourinho.
The Evening Standard reports that 'the Special One' wants the young Belgian international to stay at Stamford Bridge in the New Year, despite starting just four times so far this season.
De Bruyne has other ideas however, and is meeting with his agent in London to talk over the possibility of a short-term switch away from the Blues.
A host of clubs are interested, the paper claims, but the player himself favours a move Wolfsburg.
It's yet more bad new for Chelsea boss Mourinho, following the last minute defeat in the Potteries at the weekend.
But, having used De Bruyne as a substitute on just two occasions since October, it's no surprise to see the 22-year-old looking for a move away from the capital with a World Cup around the corner.
The former Genk starlet signed for Chelsea in January 2012, and returned to his old club for the remainder of the season on loan. He spent all of last term at Werder Bremen, and must be getting used to life away from the King's Road.
Mourinho's side currently sit third in the table, five points off the leaders ahead of next weekend's clash against Crystal Palace.

Hi All-
I recently picked up a set of Fehling euro bars from Hucky's along with a complete set of cables as the final step in getting the old '74 R90/6 back on the road. I assumed these bars were 22mm and not 7/8" since a) Hans was selling them, and b) they're made in Germany. But when I try to slide the control mounts back on, the bars seem a little too big. To compare, I tried sliding them back on the original Magura USA high bars... no problem, slid right on.
So there's essentially a pinch fitting that holds the controls in place on the bars. Is there a safe way to open this up? I was gently prying with a large screwdriver last night but I really don't know how brittle that metal is. Any suggestions? Maybe a little heat?

D r. Washington's grant was funded by the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which has made the development of HIV prevention and intervention programs tailored for BMSM a priority.
Alex believes findings from this study may offer new e-health information and support the use of social networking to enhance HIV interventions and increase HIV testing among young BMSM. Additionally, the intervention may be useful for reaching more BMSM who may not otherwise consider testing because of stigma or limited access to knowledge about HIV testing. Alex believes the use of a social networking site can be useful for engaging young black MSM in discussions about receiving HIV testing, particularly those who might be difficult to reach; especially since HIV prevention, HIV testing, and linkage to care, are crucial to reducing HIV infections in the African-American community.
"I am pleased that Social Work can be at the table to play a vital role in research to reduce health disparities and increase HIV testing among vulnerable populations." Alex also expressed his gratitude for the guidance and support of Kevin Malotte, Director of the CSULB Center for Health Care Innovation, with whom Alex has collaborated since 2008 - when Alex first joined the CSULB School of Social Work.
Congratulations to Alex Washington for this remarkable achievement!

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — For NBA fans like us, there's nothing better than League Pass. Having the ability to watch every game every night (and then again the next day) is heaven.
Of course, with local broadcasts, you get local broadcasters, which can be good and bad. It can be good, because these guys know their teams better than most national broadcasters. It can be bad, because these guys love their teams more than most national broadcasters. And they're usually not afraid to show that love.
The national guys aren't perfect either. And if they're not careful, they may be featured here, where we highlight the best and worst of NBA broadcasts.
Here are a few moments from the season thus far that made us laugh, made us smarter, or made us shake our heads.
1. Trifecta of bias
Game: Minnesota @ Denver, Jan. 3
Broadcast: Denver
Denver analyst Scott Hastings really shows his colors here. First, he infers that the official should take a previous J.J. Barea complaint into account when making a call. Then, he disparages Barea's size. And finally, he infers that the number of fouls that Kenneth Faried had at the time should have affected the call. Oof.
2. Mid-game education
Game: Golden State @ Minnesota, Nov. 16
Broadcast: Minnesota
One of the biggest problems with some NBA broadcasters is that they're behind the curve in regard to advanced stats. When a play-by-play guy or analyst references points per game and/or field-goal percentage as a measure of offensive or defensive quality, those of us who know and believe in advanced stats just want to squirm and/or mute your television.
So when one of these guys takes the time to educate their audience about pace and efficiency, it's worthy of a mention. This clip starts out on the wrong foot with a graphic citing PPG, but Dave Benz and Jim Petersen quickly turn the conversation toward efficiency.
Hopefully, talk of pace and efficiency will be the norm (and not the exception) in the near future.
3. Foul? What foul?
Game: New Orleans @ Portland, Dec. 16
Broadcast: Portland
There are a lot of times when broadcasters need to hold their tongues until they see a replay before questioning an official's call. Let's just say that Mike Barrett and Mike Rice don't do that very often.
On this play, Barrett (play-by-play) first questions the idea of Nicolas Batum's foul being a flagrant. Rice takes over from there, seems to ignore an obvious blow to the face of Anthony Davis, makes a silly remark about the official not wanting him to eat dinner on time, and then takes a grade-school-level shot at Davis' eyebrow(s). Oh yeah, like Hastings in the clip above, he infers that a previous call should somehow influence this one.
One more thing: Broadcasters should know that referees will err on the side of caution when initially determining whether a foul was a flagrant or a common foul, because one can be reviewed and the other can't. If the refs initially call a flagrant, they can review the play and change it to a common foul. If they don't call a flagrant initially, they can't review it or change it. So if there's any doubt, the best thing to do is call a flagrant foul and check the replay.
4. I take that back
Game: Minnesota @ Brooklyn, Nov. 5
Broadcast: Brooklyn
Let's end on a good note, shall we?
Ian Eagle is a Hang Time favorite, because he's calls games straight, he's got a quick wit and he certainly isn't afraid to laugh at himself. Here, he regrets his premature assessment of Greg Stiemsma's perimeter game.

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - The college football playoff system will be televised on ESPN for 12 years once it starts after the 2014 season.
The network announced an agreement in principle Wednesday. The title game will be played on a Monday, at least a week after the semifinals.
The deal also includes broadcast rights for the three "host bowls" that will be in the semifinal rotation in years they're not holding playoff games. ESPN already had contracts for the same 12-year period through the 2025 season with the "contract bowls": the Rose, Sugar and Orange.
The agreement includes rights for TV, radio, mobile, online and international.
ESPN is in the middle of a four-year agreement to air the Bowl Championship Series.

We Are The 801
Brian Eno's first 2 "pop art" albums after he left Roxy Music sound incredible to me. They are so strange, so beautiful. He made - and was involved in - such great music between 1973 and 198something from Bowie to Harmonia, Fripp, Talking Heads, Robert Wyatt, Ultravox, Kevin Ayers. Of course he did some incredible stuff making the ambient sound - accessible at least. But those two first records, the Warm Jets record and Taking Tiger Mountain are just WOW!
Talk as you will.
Although you know what I can't stand about Eno these days? His lyrics. Esepcially the wackier kind like on The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch. I still love those early post-Roxy albums but I wish he wasn't such a smarty-pants art-school lyricist.
I would imagine, as the years have shown...
Lyrics were not his strength. But those 2 lps were great taken as a whole. Most rock lyrics are stupid anyway, especially when they try & move away from love/sex stuff, and even then they're usually dumb. But I love those two lps, and Another Green World definitely proves the sound over words argument.
Just a moot point but I always think of them as a set of 4...
...and include Another Green World and Before and after Science. Yes they contain more instrumental pieces but there are is a fair smattering of great pop-art songs on them.

There are more...

Thank you and I think that beads would work perfectly in replace of knots! They would give the calendar that extra wintery sparkle! I'm already planning to do something Valentines themed for my February month and I'm excited to get it out as soon as possible.Delete

My New Year's Eve menu was developed during a pleasurably drunken afternoon with Matt Day, who runs an Italian cookery school and represents Mumm champagne. I'm glad he told me all the technical stuff at the beginning. By the third bottle it was like devising a menu with Noel Fielding while embarking on a three day LSD bender; fantastical matches which turned out to be not so practical for real life.
For example;
Matt: "I know, why don't you give an ostrich egg to each guest and make them eat fondue out of it"
Me: "Genius!" Peers at glass, wonders how much 30 Ostrich eggs would cost "What am I drinking now? Hic!"
Matt: "Yeah and give each table a big sparkly hammer so that they can smash the gingerbread house to pieces at the end of the meal"
This last suggestion has been taken on board however and I spent three days making a village, or perhaps a favela, of gingerbread houses. It wasn't easy. My advice: straight walls, light roofs, proper right angles, make construction less jerry-built. Also you will need far more icing sugar to stick it all together than you can possibly imagine. Buy at least five boxes. You will spend a good deal of time holding things together with your fingers waiting for the icing to dry and propping up the walls with different height tin cans and glasses.
Matt suggested matches from an uber scientific 'gaschromatograph' machine as to what foods go best with Mumm champagne. This is the resulting menu:

I'm going back to work next week and plan on pumping twice at work. Right now I have no expressed milk stored so I will be starting from scratch. What's the best way of doing this without building up too much of an oversupply? Should I just pump once a day from now until I start work to build up enough of a supply for the first day back to work? Once I'm at work I'll pump for the following day and so on.
My other question is since she currently only eats from one side at a feeding should I continue to alternate sides at work? If she eats from the right before I leave, pump only the left side the first time at work, then the right side the second time? When I come home she'll then eat from the left side. I'm just trying to make this transition back to work as smooth as possible. She's sleeping longer stretches at night now and when she does wake up to eat the breast that wasn't used at bedtime is soooo full, I'm not trying to make that worse by pumping too much!

These adorable 11-inch Playful Puppets are fast and easy to crochet. You will want to make them all for your child to play with. These are fantastic for educational purposes and will expand your child's imagination. They are great for use at home, schools, churches, hospitals, medical offices and many other places where there are children. All children love puppets, just watch their eyes light up when you place one on your hand and make the puppet come to life. I have made them with child safety in mind by making sure everything is crocheted and sewn on them. There are no dangerous parts to fall off. They sell very well at Craft Fairs and in most instances can be made up in one day.
The patterns are written in the easiest of terms and with plenty of pictures for illustration so you will be able to crochet them with ease. These e-books also include 3 styles of eyes so you can change the looks of the puppets if you should choose to do so. It is amazing how the entire personality of the puppet changes with the colors you use and the different eyes. These are patterns you can just let your imagination go wild with and have a blast making them.
Basic crochet knowledge is needed for making the puppets. You should know, single crochet, half-double crochet, increase and decrease. Basic crochet instructions are included as well as some interesting tips with the tutorial links such as invisible decreasing, invisible finishing and the adjustable magic ring.
All of my patterns are made using Red Heart 4-ply Worsted Weight Super Saver Yarn unless otherwise noted. You will also need fiberfill and F, G and H crochet hooks.
*Note: These are downloadable instructions for making a crochet toy. Since it is a download, you will receive this by email and it will also be located in the "My Library" section of your user account immediately after purchase.
These patterns may not be reproduced for selling, sharing, e-mail, web or any reason other than personal use. You may use finished products for gifts, charity, fundraising and craft events. May not be mass produced.

Second Seattle terror plotter gets 17 years
SEATTLE A man who helped plot an attack with machine guns and grenades on a Seattle military complex was sentenced in federal court Monday to 17 years in prison, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Walli Mujahidh, 34, of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty in December to conspiracy to kill officers of the U.S., conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and unlawful possession of a firearm.
"This defendant was a cold-hearted, enthusiastic partner in this murderous scheme. He talked at length in recorded conversations about the innocent people he planned to gun down," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "Even after his arrest he boldly tried to justify his plot. I am thankful this plot was disrupted, and again thank the FBI and Seattle Police Department."
A co-defendant in the case, Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, 35, of Seattle, was sentenced last month to 18 years in prison. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and murder U.S. officers.
Law enforcement was alerted to the plot by a person who was approached by Abdul-Latif about supplying guns and who acted as an informant.
The conspirators were recorded on audio and video discussing an assault on the Military Entrance Processing Station in south Seattle where the military processes enlistees. The station houses military and civilian employees and a federal daycare.
In the recordings, the men discuss how they wanted to gun down people in revenge for atrocities by U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, prosecutors said.
"During the planning sessions for the attack, Mujahidh made clear that he was eager to kill his intended victims, and as many as possible. He made numerous statements along these lines while he and Abdul-Latif planned out the play-by-play movements of the attackers using the map of the Federal Center South building," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.
The two men were arrested in June 2011 when they arrived at a warehouse to pick up three machine guns. The weapons had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement.
The informant, a repeat felon and convicted sex offender, was paid $90,400 for his cooperation.

1 Ch RF Controller 1527 Power Issue

1 Ch RF Controller 1527 Power Issue
Can anyone please let me know if they have tried this and if so what value of the Capacitor I would need. I am using the 1 channel 1527 and on startup the voltage drops below 10 volts and to 9.87 volts and makes the module not function properly. I was thinking of putting a cap across the the power input to act as an extra power source on startup to stabilize the voltage for 300 MS or so. Does anyone have any ideas if this will work and if so what the value of the Capacitor should be. Thank you in advance. Chris

Good album. I would recommend "Family Affair" and "Spaced Cowboy" in addition to "Luv N' Haight".
Album Rating: 4.0[QUOTE=Scott Herren]Good album. I would recommend "Family Affair" and "Spaced Cowboy" in addition to "Luv N' Haight".[/QUOTE]
You heard the man. Agreed, totally. Those two should be next on your list, after which you should really buy the thing.
Album Rating: 4.5I meant to respond to this a long time but now that it's got a spotlight (that it deserved) now seems like a good time. Nice review, of course. I really love this album so it's really depressing that the sound quality is as shitty as it is (at least on the american version.) And yeah, the album dressing ain't none too pleasing either.
The little steps Sly took with drum machines are also noteworthy here, he was a real pioneer in regards to that. On "Family Affair" you can hear it pretty well, the mix of real and programmed drums. It's primeval but on some level it works. Plus that's probably my favorite song on the album.
I've never found anything about Sly & the Family Stone interesting, and I still don't.
So, mehhh.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThere's A Riot Goin' On is one of those albums that has paled with the passage of time. Released during the height of The Vietnam War plus Kent State and protests and riots across the United States, it maintains an edge between love and hate. Rare at the time, expecially for an intergrated group. Today the historical lesson is just as important as the music.
Album Rating: 4.0Holy old review Batman!
Album Rating: 5.0such an amazing album.
Wax Poetic's recent feature on sly got me into this. awesome magazine.
first song is so good
Album Rating: 4.0rules
yeah this is awesome
Album Rating: 4.0predictable choice but family affair is my fav
followed by time
luv n haight and you caught me smilin
Album Rating: 5.0Runnin away deserves a mention as well, but really people should just get the entire album, it puts the sound and mood of the songs in better perspective
Album Rating: 4.0" Kid A is the only album that springs to mind for a comparison"
… the only album I had in mind was Bowie's Station to Station.
this takes me back to my days as an african american.
Album Rating: 4.5like this more and more with each listen
amazing album
this record has grit
Album Rating: 4.5yess ^ that and the last track. great album

IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys have hired Rich Bisaccia as special teams coach three weeks after he joined the Auburn staff in a similar capacity.
New Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Friday that Bisaccia had "an offer that he felt he could not turn down" after the Tigers hired him to coach running backs and special teams on Jan. 3. The Cowboys reported their hiring on the team's website.
Bisaccia was special teams coach at Tampa Bay from 2002-10 and worked alongside new Dallas defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.
Bisaccia spent the past two seasons as special teams coach in San Diego. He replaces Joe DeCamillis, who went to Chicago as assistant head coach in charge of special teams.

In our first episode of our sophomore year, our news is brought to you by Nicole, followed by Kales bringing you an interview with someone who broke his hand while stopping his friend from punching an old man with cancer, and then Ryan talks about Lizzy Borden.
Here are some of the relevant links:
Here we have Andrew Borden's body after being hit with the ax.

Baltimore knows how to put on a timeless and elegant wedding, and today's black and white fête planned by Stephanie Bradshaw is the perfect example. In honor of her love of horses, this Bride chose an elegant gown with a dramatic horse hair skirt, which looked absolutely striking paired with her handsome Groom, dressed sharply in his uniform. Add in the beautiful, tented reception outfitted in impressive, white and periwinkle blooms by Flowers and Fancies and photography by Michael and Carina, and you've got one gorgeous celebration that will surely stand the test of time and trend.
From Michael and Carina Photographers... Claire and Paul married in style. They are fans of black and white patterns and incorporated them so beautifully into their wedding. Claire wore a gown made of horse hair as a tribute to her love of horses. Stephanie Bradshaw and her team created an incredibly styled reception area with lots of greenery, a custom boxwood bar, and black and white sun umbrellas. A red vintage car made for the perfect accent!

Problem children: Making trouble for Mother Earth
Mother Earth can't take much more of her human offspring's hell-raising.
Scientists tell us that, by their count, the universe is somewhere between 13 and 14 billion years old, with the earth coming in at somewhere between 5 and 6 billion. According to traditional Jewish reckoning, on the other hand, creation is celebrating a much more modest 5,771 years this September 9.

Adult content.. not porn
Amazing service you are offering here, Wayne. Might as well get in early before you get too burnt out
Site: http://www.overgrow.com/edge
Opened: April 1999
Size: 9000 members, 200,000 posts
The Overgrow.com site began as a UBB community board. We made the move to vBulletin and began providing our own content (magazine, FAQ, etc) last year. Our membership has been on a rising curve ever since. Some of our competitors now average 15 to 50 people online while we have 200.
Overall we get about 100k hits per day and move well over 150 gigs per month. We are not using gzip and the user's Image Gallery is the most popular forum. Our bandwidth usage should be cut in half when we move to our own server this month and I can enable gzip and also start compressing the jpgs as they come in.
The board is still currently listed as vBulletin 1.1.3 though it is heavily modified and security patched. I am seriously contemplating a move to 2.0 after having worked on it elsewhere. I believe I have one of the most customized vBs around as well as one of the fastest. I don't believe that anyone is doing as much site-wide non-session-based query caching as I am. This is necessary as we are still on a shared host.. with 200 online at peak. Stock vB in this situation was incredibly slow with page generation up to 30 seconds before I implemented the query result caching routines.
We sell our own sponsorship on a forum-by-forum basis, up to $400 for the most popular forum per month. The site pays for itself now but any profit is going back into the hardware. We also recently ran an auction and donation campaign that raised almost $5000 and still climbing. If I actually had someone to sell ad space (besides myself) we might be making money. We use cafepress for t-shirt fufillment and have made $250+ each month so far since we offer $50 "donation level" t-shirts as well as normally priced items. Future plans include a 4-color calendar since we have so many great images.. also we are trying to work out affiliate deals with some of our sponsors and open our own shop.Overgrow the Government: The Edge Forums

Im not Wayne, but figured Id offer my opinion feel free to ignore it. I really enjoyed your site, I think youve put together a slick design and a consistent theme. I liked the use of color to distinguish the different areas. Very well done. Youve clearly had success and are continuing to grow. I do have a few suggestions on how you can help that growth along
I was thinking that since your Image Gallery forum seems to be so popular, you might want to use the images to help promote your site. You could easily add an ecard feature making use of the images, and in the process create some viral marketing for your site.
In a similar vein, overgrow is a pretty cool domain name, and it might be worth looking into a free online email service to give your members firstname.lastname@example.com email addresses. Again, this will create viral marketing and make your members happy.
Both suggestions are just added features that visitors and members may enjoy. You already seem to have a great core for your community. The key I think is to introduce some new features as you go along to keep older members happy and to introduce new blood to the site.

Ok.. I have tried to post this review twice now and something keeps preventing me from doing it.
I like the overall layout and design of the site and have even used it for a little inspiration here and there. However I like your previous layout more. The forums were slicker and seemed better put together.
You have a very loyal membership to raise $5000 in donations. Since you are planning on upgrading to vBulletin 2.0 you might think about adding a few features for these donaters. It may not seem like much but extra PM limits, PM forward and downloading are nice treats to give to people. This would encourage more people to donate.
Setting up targetted affiliate programs and auctions are another way for a niche site to grow and profit. You should look into this.
Viral marketing techniques as was mentioned will only increase your traffic and are worth it in the long run. However you might think about giving out email addresses only to people who subscribe or donate for XX amount of money. This isn't to be selfish but to make sure that there is some income to sustain these email addresses if free email providers go under.
You have a great site and while I am not interested in the topic, the technical excellence of the site inspires me.

International Christian School Educators Gather at CIU
Delegates representing 16 countries and 20 states gathered on the campus of Columbia International University July 10-15 for the 41st annual International Institute for Christian School Educators (IICSE).
Each year Christian school administrators and teachers meet at "The Institute" for intensive seminars, prayer and fellowship.
Opening the conference on Sunday evening, CIU Vice President for Christian School Education Mickey Bowdon expressed his enthusiasm for the Institute.
"The most exciting part about the conference is that we have people from around the world expanding God's Kingdom through Christian school education," Bowdon said.
Dr. Milt Uecker, a professor in the CIU College of Education, shared in Bowdon's excitement, but also sought to provide answers to some of the issues and struggles facing Christian education. He challenged the delegates to think critically about their schools.
"We have a responsibility to be academically excellent and thoroughly transformational," Uecker said.
Three keynote sessions were given by education consultant Dr. Dan Beerens. Beerens reminded delegates, many of whom are still worn down from a long school year that they are called to faithfulness – not success as the world defines it.
Djaba Nyakotey, a delegate from Ghana, was grateful to attend the conference for the second time. He is preparing to be an administrator of Dawhenya School, which is set to open in the fall.
"I believe the conference will help me build philosophical foundations for the school and will give me both the vision and passion I need to lead teachers and students," Nyakotey said.

The usual suspects placed bets on this year's most competitive races
November 28, 2018 | Winning Democratic challengers and losing incumbent Republicans drew from very different sources of funding during the 2018 election.
Democrat Beto O'Rourke is creeping up on Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race — both in fundraising and polls
August 27, 2018 | Although incumbent Ted Cruz is still favored to beat challenger Beto O'Rourke in November, this is the first time in decades a Democrat has even come close to a Senate seat in Texas.
Hybrid PACs collectively beat fundraising records of past election cycles
August 17, 2015 | The 2012 election cycle saw the birth of little-known hybrid PACs, also known as Carey committees, which can maintain two separate accounts; one for contributions to federal candidates and parties, and the other for independent expenditures, to which unlimited contributions can be made. The committees, which emerged as a result of the case Carey v. FEC, collectively raised…
Final Tally: 2014's Midterm Was Most Expensive, With Fewer Donors
February 18, 2015 | The final figures are in: The 2014 election was the most expensive midterm election in history, costing a grand total of $3.77 billion. But for the first time since 1990, fewer Americans donated money in this midterm election than the one before. Simply put, more money went into the system, but fewer people provided…
K Street: End of the Slide?
November 10, 2014 | It may be too early to call 2014 the year that K Street's long decline ended, but the most recent round of reports suggest at least a leveling off. Third quarter 2014 lobbying expenditures totaled $771.9 million, which is only a bit lower than outlays during the same period in previous years. And spending for the…
Money Won on Tuesday, But Rules of the Game Changed
November 5, 2014 | Republicans made the most of their fundraising advantage and routed Democrats in Tuesday's midterms, but they seized the majority in the Senate and built their lead in the House even as fewer donors participated in the process and more of the dollars came from secret sources. Democrats weren't swamped when it came to the money…
Back-to-College Special: Academic Contributions Aren't Just Cerebral
August 29, 2013 | President Obama might hope that his new education initiative doesn't rile too many in academia: By reputation, college professors and staff members are solid Democrats, and a deeper look at their campaign contributions by the Center for Responsive Politics mostly backs that up -- though certain types of schools tend to skew more left than others.
Culture Wars Skip K Street
May 2, 2012 | Talking heads and culture warriors have been working overtime in 2012 on both sides of the abortion, birth control, religious freedom and gun rights issues. But for all the talk about how much -- or how little -- say the government should have on key social issues, the battles haven't spilled onto K Street. According to OpenSecrets.org data, lobbying on ideological issues was down nearly across the board for the first three months of 2012.
Blue Dog Fundraising Climbs as Coalition Fights Extinction
March 20, 2012 | Blue Dog Democrats are an endangered species on Capitol Hill, but their fundraising suggests they may be clawing their way back with a little help from Democratic leadership PACs, among others.
Financial Sector Helps Barack Obama Score Big Money for Re-election Fight
July 22, 2011 | One-third of the money President Barack Obama's elite fund-raising corps has raised on behalf of his re-election has come from the financial sector, according to a new Center for Responsive Politics analysis. Individuals who work in the finance, insurance and real estate sector are responsible for raising at least $11.3 million for Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to the Center's research.
In Battle of the Olive Pits, Dennis Kucinich Again Aligns Himself With Trial Lawyers
January 27, 2011 | Liberal Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who recently filed a $150,000 lawsuit after biting into an olive pit and sustaining dental damages, has found common cause with tort attorneys before. Since the 1996 election cycle -- when he was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives -- Kucinich has collected $57,500 from the political action committee of the American Association for Justice.
Who's Backing the New Top Blue Dogs' Bark, Bite?
November 22, 2010 | The Blue Dogs have elevated Reps. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), John Barrow (D-Ga.) and Mike Ross (D-Ark.) as their new leaders. Which donors and special interests have these men relied upon to fill their war chests?
Which Industries Won and Lost in Election 2010?
November 10, 2010 | Imagine that every member of Congress represents the industry or special interests that have contributed the most to his or her campaign coffers. Which industries and special interests, then, lost or won seats in Congress during the 2010 midterm election?
Will Anti-Establishment Candidates Oust Democratic Senate Incumbents?
May 17, 2010 | Despite long odds, insurgent candidates have challenged senators in Arkansas and Pennsylvania, and now these two sitting Democratic senators risk being ousted Tuesday by disgruntled voters. Challenges in each state have gained steam thanks to enthusiasm among the Democratic base, with some liberal activists and unions defying the Democratic Party establishment and bucking even the political operation of the White House.
Retirees, Doctors and Lawyers Helped Propel Scott Brown to U.S. Senate Seat
March 31, 2010 | In the hotly contested special election that sent Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate, Brown and his opponent, Democrat Martha Coakley, squeezed their fund-raising efforts into a rapid scramble for money that lasted just weeks, not months.
Liberal PACs Trouncing Conservative Counterparts in Political Donation Race
August 20, 2009 | It's a glorious time to be a Democrat if you're hoping for some serious advocacy action from the nation's monied liberal establishments. Through the first half of 2009, left-leaning political action committees have obliterated their right-leaning competition in spending, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal campaign finance data indicates.
Health Interests, Lobbyists Rank High Among Industries Increasing Campaign Contributions
August 19, 2009 | Political action committees and individuals associated with health industries, each of which are intimately involved in the nation's ongoing health care reform debate, are donating more to federal candidates during the second quarter of 2009 than the first quarter, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis.
Races to Watch III: Big Money, Small Money
September 29, 2008 | Barack Obama defended his decision not to accept public financing by arguing that running a campaign for the White House based on small contributions accomplishes what the public financing system aims to do but falls short of doing: curb the influence of outside interest groups. In many congressional races, the issue of who's backing the candidate--wealthy donors or everyone else--is finding its way into debates over the best way to fix the economy and whether campaign contributions and lobbying by the financial sector had anything to do with today's economic crisis. Capital Eye takes a closer look at some of these races.
Races to Watch II: Candidates Supported by Their Party
September 25, 2008 | Private interests and members of the public aren't the only ones betting their money on the congressional candidates they hope will win (or retain) congressional seats. Lawmakers in both parties have a vested interest in seeing their own candidates succeed this November, with Democrats wanting to strengthen their majority and Republicans hoping to minimize their losses. Here we look at some of the candidates getting the largest cash infusions from their own parties, indicating a close race.
Biggest Donors Are Digging Deeper for '08
November 15, 2007 | Top industries and interest groups have increased their giving over 2004 by 46 percent, Center finds. As money shifts to Democrats, giving from Republican strongholds is mostly flat.

Woman, The (UK - DVD R2)
Marcus stumbles across a wild woman in the woods and decides to catch her...
When Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers) stumbles across a feral woman (Pollyanna McIntosh) bathing in a woodland stream near his isolated country home, he readies his fruit cellar at his isolated family home and goes about capturing the mysterious woman.
Chaining the wild woman up below his house and intending to tame and civilize her, Chris includes his wife and three children in the project and despite some mixed feeling on the matter the family aid Chris even with his less than neighbourly approach to 'helping' his prisoner.
The Woman kicks off with a noticeable amount of charm. Slightly off centre choices such as the soundtrack and Sean Bridger's almost fifties father attitude doesn't seem a natural fit to what appears to be a story of torture and mistreatment of women but somehow all of this elevates The Woman beyond its limited budget and into an arena that deserves to get noticed.
Chris Cleek, this crazy father at the centre of the story is a total and utter douche bag. At first it feels like this story might go down an almost Bigfoot (Harry) and the Hendersons route with this goofily aggressive father learning the error of his ways via the wild woman he found in the woods but it doesn't take long to work out this isn't the case. This guy is just plain bad and when we start discovering that his mistreatment of the chained up woman in his cellar isn't that unlike how he treats his wife, or indeed any women in his life this story gets a whole lot darker.
That said, between author Jack Ketchum and director Lucky McKee there's a twisted sense of humour here that gives The Woman a real charm. Don't get me wrong, most of it is very dark humour and shouldn't be funny but it works. Chris Cleek's oblivious approach to his dark dealings is delightfully odd, even the abuse of his wife and how random the acts are (slapping her in the face while brushing his teeth as an example) come with a slight offbeat humour all without losing the weight of his darker edge. In many ways his performance reminded me a lot of Will Ferrell but with this backdrop it was hard to find it outright hilarious even though he did raise a few guilty chuckles.
The entire movie is quite grisly but it's more what you don't see mixed with a lot of blood and dirt to make what you do see a little gross. The more graphic stuff is left for the finale which takes a while to get to but when it kicks off there's a good amount of gore, some pretty effective visuals and a nice little curveball of WTF to add the last notch in the 'Reasons Chris Cleek is obviously insane' checklist.
For a DVD, the image of this disc is actually quite impressive. There's a very clean digital feeling to the film and even the darkest of scenes still has quite a lot of detail. Skin covered in deep brown mud and blood shows off tiny textures beneath it and give the woman a striking appearance against backdrops and even the brighter breezier suburban settings seem quite colourful and sharp (well as sharp as sharp goes with standard definition anyway).
There are a lot of deep blacks in the heavy shadowed scenes and generally everything is naturally coloured with yellows and reds popping off the screen the most. The Woman is low budget and it never manages to quite hide it but with that said this is a pretty looking transfer.
The strongest element here is the music on the track. The soundtrack is obviously thought about and the placings of the songs are powerful and generate a lot of the personality the film achieves. The music fills the channels and grabs hold of us, probably more than the visuals do and they really come alive here.
Ambience is also very strong with an almost constant sound of crickets and the woods around the family home. On top of that tricks with sound are very effective, the piercing sound that generates from an up close gunshot nearly made my ears bleed at one point and the small things involved in any form of torture carried out on the woman seems ramped up to good effect. Also her screams and growls and anything to do with her restraints are very much there to make the situation more aggressive and work very well.
The making of (23:46) is a great look at the story behind the movie. The writer and director have the lion's share of the screentime and the low budget approach to making the film is covered very well, for example, they used a high school gym as their hollywood soundstage. Also we get plenty from the cast and watching the make up transformation of the woman herself is very cool.
The deleted scenes clock in at five minutes and 'Meet the Makers' (04:23) seems to be a web based special that covers a lot of what's in the making of with a little bit more and mentions The Woman is actually a sequel to The Offspring which I was not aware of.
'Mi Burro - Short Film' (6:43) is a cool little animated short and
'Distracted - Sean Spillane' (5:01) isn't a music video but just the song set to stills from the film.
The Woman treads a fine line between feeling very much like the low budget affair it really is and coming off with enough confidence in its oddness to make Lucky McKee a director to watch out for in the future. Its offbeat sense of humour mixed with its straight to the point horror made this a breath of fresh air in the current 'too slick for their own good' horror genre and the disc does a good job of showing off the all the talent involved.

Michael Greenwaldt Member Join Date: November 2004 Location: United States Posts: 790
Nice review. Loved this movie! I've been a fan of Lucky McKee since seeing "May," his gem of a horror film from 2002. I highly recommend that if you haven't seen it yet. Unless you count the Masters of Horror episode he did entitled "Sick Girl," this is the best McKee has done since "May." It's also the best horror movie I've seen this year. The soundtrack is terrific and I had to buy it from Amazon right away after seeing it. A wicked and ballsy movie. Even though I found Offspring entertaining, this is a big step-up in quality. While not necessary to see Offspring before seeing this I would recommend doing so. Just don't let whether or not you like that movie make up your mind for you about seeing this one.

Ad and marketing creatives
Asymmetric Communications
Marty Cooke is the chief creative officer of an agency called SS+K in New York City-but don't call it an ad agency. Marty's firm brings together a wide range of communications disciplines to provide what he calls "asymmetric communications." How does this work? We called Marty to talk about his agency's approach, and how language comes into play. Here's our conversation:
VT: First of all, tell us about your agency, SS+K.
Marty: We do a lot of advertising but we don't say we're an advertising agency. We reject that label. We were one of the first integrated shops with different disciplines -- advertising, PR, public affairs, marketing services, and more. Words like media agnostic could be applied to us, which is certainly true, but a lot of the stuff we do everybody's claiming now.
My background is advertising and when I was at an ad agency everybody I talked to on a daily basis was an ad person. They were really bright, interesting people but they were all kind of the same. Here we have advertising people, but we've also got PR people. We've got designers. We've got digital people. Our head of planning and strategy was a physicist at Harvard before she became a political pollster. Our head of design was a ballerina who danced with the American Ballet Theater around the world. We've got this very eclectic mix. Put this group around a table and you just don't know what you're going to get. It's pretty combustible, in a really good way. This is what we mean by asymmetric.
VT: Can you give us an example?
Marty: We did a project for Qwest a few years ago to sell mobile phones with a budget that was quite small. They thought we'd do a radio campaign because it was the obvious, but traditional way to reach the market size they wanted for the money. Instead, we produced a big urban game using a new technology that had never been used before. It worked. We also had a hand in the yellow band phenomenon for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which is a really non-traditional way of approaching things. The great thing about my job is I just sit back and my people bring me all these amazing ideas.
VT: Do you see the advertising industry moving in this direction?
Marty: This company's about 14 years old and we were one of the first, if not the first, companies to put PR and advertising together under one roof. These were the two big pillars of the communications business back then. The market wasn't quite there yet, so we had PR accounts and ad accounts, and you couldn't sell a lot of PR to advertising accounts and vice versa. A few innovative larger agencies have since moved in this direction, and they're making the world safe for the smaller integrated agencies like us. Now in the last five to seven years a bunch of new agencies have popped up, mostly in New York for some reason, that are trying this model and trying to ride this new wave.
VT: Can you give us another example of your integrated approach?
Marty: Our Delta Airlines account is a great example. We have only about 100 people but Delta left a huge multinational agency to work with us. When we pitched Delta we really thought hard about the entire brand experience, in ways that might surprise you.
VT: Please explain.
Marty: We looked at all the touch points. So when we pitched Delta we talked about how they needed to repaint their planes, how they needed to redesign the terminals, how they needed to think about crowd movement. We talked to them about what food they served and the entertainment on the seat back screens.
VT: It seems that Delta went from dowdy to hip in the past year.
Marty: It wasn't just about the look, even the language was important.
VT: The language?
Marty: Yes. There's an old adage that goes "everything communicates." When you lose luggage, what kind of language does the airline use to apologize? We're trying to get their employees to react in a more human way. So we've had a hand in their staff orientation.
The bottom line is that you have to create a very distinctive voice for the brand. And you have to make the voice appropriate, in Delta's case, from an outdoor billboard to an on-board napkin.
VT: Can you explain this a little?
Marty: You have to ask, how does Delta's voice manifest itself when it's on television? How does it manifest itself online? It's tough because you have to find a way to be relevant to the medium in which you're talking-and not to abandon your personality when you go there.
VT: That's interesting. So the challenge isn't just coming up with a snappy ad.
Marty: My goodness, a snappy billboard is the easiest thing we do. We all know how to do that.
VT: Right.
Marty: This got me thinking about the work we did for the Lance Armstrong Foundation that I mentioned earlier. When we got there, we realized they were speaking the "language of cancer," the same kind of language that all the cancer groups use. But I was an avid road cyclist at that time and a big fan of Lance, and I had read both of his books. I knew that particular "language" was not his voice, so in our first meeting we said the voice of the foundation should be more like Lance's voice.
Lance's voice is angrier. It's more defiant. We wrote a manifesto for the foundation and it was completely not the language of cancer. It was the language of Lance fighting cancer. The foundation reads this manifesto before every event that they do. The language of this manifesto permeates all their work.
