Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's history in this timeline, beginning with its founding in 1884.
1884 – On May 31, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is founded as New York Cancer Hospital at 106th Street and Central Park West in Manhattan. New York Cancer Hospital is the first institution in the United States devoted exclusively to the treatment of cancer.
1887 – New York Cancer Hospital, a 70-bed facility, receives its first patients on December 7.
1893 –William B. Coley is appointed as an attending surgeon. One of the American pioneers in modern clinical research, Dr. Coley developed an early form of immunotherapy in which he treated sarcoma with the toxins of a bacterial skin infection to induce the body's immune system to target and destroy tumors.
1899 – The original name of the hospital is changed from New York Cancer Hospital to General Memorial Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer and Allied Diseases.
1902 – Mrs. Collis P. Huntington gives $100,000 to General Memorial Hospital in memory of her husband to establish the first cancer research fund in the country, which gave a new impetus for treatment and research.
1902 – Just two years after the discovery of X-rays, Memorial Hospital pioneers their use in cancer therapy.
1912 – James Douglas, a scientist and philanthropist, gives $100,000 to General Memorial Hospital for the endowment of ten beds for clinical research work, and the equipment for an X-ray plant and clinical laboratory.
1913 – James Ewing is appointed as a pathologist at Memorial Hospital. Under his guidance and with his subsequent appointments as Director of Cancer Research and President of the Medical Board, Memorial Hospital attains worldwide recognition in the diagnosis and management of tumors and other lesions caused by the abnormal proliferation of cells in the body.
1915 – Dr. Ewing, working with Dr. Douglas, establishes a radium department and lays the foundation in the United States for radiation therapy.
1916 – The name of the hospital becomes Memorial Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer and Allied Diseases.
1919 – Dr. Ewing publishes the first edition of Neoplastic Diseases: A Text-Book on Tumors. The book, which is translated into numerous languages, becomes a cornerstone of modern oncology by establishing a systematic and comprehensive basis for diagnosing human cancer.
1920 – Memorial Hospital establishes the first radiation research laboratory in the United States.
1921 — Marie Curie, the co-discoverer of radium who won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, visits Memorial Hospital during a tour of the United States.

I'm a little worried about the T-Mobile Girl, you guys.
After almost two years of wearing cute pink dresses and sunnily shilling for the phone carrier, T-Mobile Girl Carly Foulkes is now being featured in a new spot titled "Alter Ego" where she trades all that in for a black and pink leather outfit and a motorcycle. Now, maybe this is just a rebellious streak or some sort of phase, but I think we need to take this seriously.
Do you think she started running with a bad crowd? Or maybe one of those older men she appeared with in the other commercials? I never trusted them, always looking at her the way a wolf looks at an unlocked chicken coop. IF ONE OF THOSE GOONS LAID A HAND ON HER, I SWEAR I'LL KILL HIM. DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN. SHE BETTER NOT COME BACK HERE PREGNANT. NOT IN MY HOUSE.
I'm sorry, I'll settle down. It's just a little upsetting seeing our sweet little T-Mobile Girl running around like acting like this, riding a motorcycle like some street hoodlum. You don't think … no, it couldn't be … … is it drugs? I mean, it's been a little while since I took a high school health class, but if I remember correctly, abrupt changes in attitude and wardrobe are pretty big red flags. Oh God, it's probably drugs. I bet she's out there shooting goofballs between her toes and snorting cocaine off some immigrant's penis. SHE'S THROWING HER FUTURE AWAY. WHAT ABOUT HER SCHOLARSHIP TO CORNELL?! SHE WAS GOING TO BE A VETERINARIAN, DAMMIT.
That's it. I'm calling her guidance counselor.

Office Frustration = Destroyed Computer Monitor [VIDEO]
We all have "those days" at the office. Sometimes it gets to the point where you just want to scream, or even break something. There's no better example of this than the boys in Office Space, who got tired enough of their printer to go completely nuts on it in a legendary movie scene.
Needless to say, something similar happened today here at the radio station. Caution: There's a little language in the video that might not be safe for work.
Long gone are the days of CRT computer monitors. They weigh more than most 40-inch TVs these days, and one of our salesmen finally had enough with his monitor going in and out on him.
Cody Kidd got some good loft on his old monitor, don't you think?

ResourceSync Specification Draft Published for Comment
ResourceSync -- a joint effort of NISO and the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) team with work funded by the Sloan Foundation -- has published a draft specification that I urge members of the library technology community to look at. Building on the OAI-PMH strategies for synchronizing metadata, this project is modern web architecture technologies to enable the synchronization of the objects themselves, not just their metadata. From the abstract of the draft specification:
This ResourceSync specification describes a synchronization framework for the web consisting of various capabilities that allow third-party systems to remain synchronized with a server's evolving resources. The capabilities can be combined in a modular manner to meet local or community requirements. The specification also describes how a server can advertise the synchronization capabilities it supports and how third party systems can discover this information. The specification repurposes the document formats defined by the Sitemap protocol and introduces extensions for them.
This specification is a beta draft released for public comment. Feedback is most welcome on the ResourceSync Google Group. I'm closing comments on this post, and urge you to send ideas, suggestions, and criticisms to the Google Group.

In October of 2007, we launched our third New Works/New Communities venture with the first of several week-long workshops. Through an extended, community-based process, playwright Octavio Solis adapted The Pastures of Heaven, John Steinbeck's novel of interconnected short stories set in Corral de Tierra, a small farming community in California's Salinas Valley. This project partnered Cal Shakes with Solis and Word for Word Performing Arts Company to adapt the 1932 novel for a 2010 production on our Main Stage, the perfect setting for stories rooted in the rolling hills and farmlands of central California's Salinas Valley.

Cal Shakes and Word for Word Salinas Weekend, April 30 & May 1, 2009: The events of this weekend included a Word for Word Workshop and Teachers Guide presentation at Hartnell College; a Scenic Design presentation and career talk with scenic designer Emily Greene at Alisal Center for the Fine Arts; a Window on the Work event at National Steinbeck Center with Jonathan Moscone, Octavio Solis, JoAnne Winter, Trish Tillman, Stephanie Hunt, and Amy Kossow; and a Pastures mural open house with video showing, mural discussion, and Q&A at Alisal Center for the Fine Arts.
Workshop 4, June 2009: Our fourth development workshop took place June 23-26 at the Ashby Stage (Berkeley, CA) with actors Nancy Carlin, James Carpenter, Amy Kossow, Dan Hiatt, Stephanie Hunt, Avery Monsen, Alex Morf (as Turalecito), Michael Torres, and Cat Walleck (as Miss Morgan) getting three newly adapted Pastures stories-those of Miss Morgan, Tularecito, and the Lopez sisters-on their feet. Playwright Octavio Solis and director Jonathan Moscone were on hand to guide the process, and the Lopez Sisters story was brought to musical life by Arwen Lawrence de Castellanos and Jorge Liceaga of Cascada de Flores, Word for Word Co-Artistic Director JoAnne Winter, and even playwright Solis in a cameo. The workshop ended in a staged reading open to the public, attended by approximately 60 people.
Workshop 3, December 2008: As 2008 drew to a close, actors from Cal Shakes and Word for Word gathered in our West Berkeley rehearsal hall to put the play-in-progress up on its feet. Under Jon Moscone's direction, a combined company including Ron Campbell, Catherine Castellanos, Julie Eccles, Susan Harloe, Joan Mankin, Sarah Nealis, and JoAnne Winter worked fast and furiously to stage the first 34 pages of the text over five days' time. On the final day, an invited audience of Cal Shakes staff and project supporters got their first look at Pastures of Heaven by Octavio Solis.
Community Conversations, December 2008: On December 9, Jonathan Moscone, Associate Artistic Director Jessica Richards, and Publications Manager Stefanie Kalem went to Salinas with Word for Word co-Artistic Directors Susan Harloe and JoAnne Winter for a series of Community Conversations. These informal talks were an opportunity for Cal Shakes and Word for Word to hear stories about Salinas, John Steinbeck, and The Pastures of Heaven from local community members, to begin a dialogue about our project, and to identify future collaborators. We met with students and faculty members at Hartnell College (www.hartnell.edu); young artists and their teacher Jose Ortiz, a renowned muralist, at the Alisal Center for the Fine Arts; and agricultural business leaders and local historians at the National Steinbeck Center. At all three well-attended stops, the conversations were free and open to the public, and at all three we heard remarkable stories about life in Salinas.
Workshop 2, March 2008: We held our second workshop for the Steinbeck Project in the Cal Shakes rehearsal hall in March of 2008, to explore the story of the charming but filthy Whitmanesque slacker Junius Maltby, his son Robbie, and their effects on the community. Solis, Moscone, and Cal Shakes and Word for Word company members spent three days using improvisation, performance, research, and conversation to plumb the depths of Steinbeck's delicate narrative. Workshop participants included Cal Shakes Associate Artists Ron Campbell, Catherine Castellanos, and Domenique Lozano, along with Word for Word charter company members Susan Harloe, JoAnne Winter, Jeri Lynn Cohen, Stephanie Hunt, Amy Kossow, Nancy Shelby, and Patricia Silver.
Research Trip, March 2008: In March 2008, Harloe, Moscone, Solis, Winter, and other project artists and company staff headed to Salinas for two days of field research. The group visited agricultural education center The Farm where they tried their hands at working the land, and learned about the history of local agriculture and agribusiness. Afterward, they interviewed seniors at the Firehouse Recreation Center, and explored future community events with Steve Hoffman, CEO of The National Steinbeck Center. They also began exploring the landscape itself, with multiple trips to Corral de Tierra (http://www.corraldetierra.com/), the breathtakingly beautiful real-life setting of Pastures of Heaven.
Workshop 1, October 2007: In our first Steinbeck Project workshop, Octavio Solis, Jonathan Moscone, and ten actors from both Cal Shakes and Word for Word immersed themselves over five days in the world of the book, focusing on one particular story and its characters, including Turalecito (little frog), a found child named for his odd appearance. The artists drew from both Word for Word's unique practice of staging literary works, and the collaborative process used by the Royal Shakespeare Company to develop Charles Dickens' The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby for their stage. They improvised scenes, explored different choices in performing brief sequences, and researched farming, historical events, and the flora, fauna, and topography of the Salinas Valley. Workshop participants included Cal Shakes actors Ron Campbell, Nancy Carlin, Catherine Castellanos, Dan Hiatt, and Joan Mankin, along with Word for Word artists and co-artistic directors Susan Harloe and JoAnne Winter.
|Who's Who
Octavio Solis
Jonathan Moscone conceived of adapting a novel for our stage after directing The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby for Cal Shakes in 2005, based on the Royal Shakespeare Company's ensemble-driven adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic. Under his leadership as Artistic Director, Cal Shakes has increasingly overcome barriers between the classics and modern-day audiences, forging a dynamic dialogue around what a classic means to each of us, here and now. His establishment of NW/NC six years ago has significantly expanded our capacity to make these works matter.
Word for Word Performing Arts Company (a program of Z Space) joins California Shakespeare Theater as a creative partner in this project with playwright Octavio Solis. Word for Word has previously staged works of John Steinbeck (Chapter 5 of The Pastures of Heaven, Cannery Row), and also worked with Octavio Solis as a director. Though vastly different in size and formal approach, both Cal Shakes and Word for Word share a belief in the enduring power of the written word, and a commitment to creating vibrant theatrical works that are inventive and immediate. Word for Word is noted for its theatrical originality, bringing literature to life—literally word for word—through the imaginative power of its ensemble of artists.

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna is the best right-back in the Premier League, according to his manager Arsene Wenger.
The 29-year-old has been one of the Gunners' most consistent performers since joining from Auxerre in the summer of 2007, and racked up his 200th appearance for the club at the weekend.
Positional awareness, tough tackling and his commanding aerial presence have made Sagna one of the most respected full-backs in the England, and Wenger believes there is nobody better in his position.
"I think so, personally, and I believe that everybody at the club would share this opinion," he told Arsenal Player. "Many people outside the club have this opinion as well.
"I must say with the right back position I have been quite lucky because we had Lee Dixon when I arrived, then Lauren, and Sagna afterwards. They have all been real winners and extremely consistent. On that front we were very lucky.
"They are all real battlers, they are ready to die to win. All these players have been inspirational for everybody because their physical level, commitment, intelligence and desire to win is all there."
Sagna missed four months of this season after breaking his ankle at White Hart Lane in October, but has rediscovered his best form since returning in January.
His comeback has coincided with an upturn in form for Wenger's side, who have overturned Tottenham in the race for Champions League qualification.
Wednesday's 3-0 win at Wolves moved Arsenal five points clear of their north London rivals.

The state unemployment rate rose for the fourth consecutive month in October as the Massachusetts economy grew too slowly to absorb an influx of workers seeking jobs.
The unemployment rate increased to 6.6 percent last month, from 6.5 percent in September, as nearly 13,000 additional workers entered the labor market, theMassachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development reported Thursday. Employers added 7,900 jobs, but not enough to hold down the unemployment rate.
The Massachusetts jobless rate has increased more than a half percentage point since June, when it was 6 percent. The state unemployment rate, however, remains significantly below the nation's unemployment rate, which increased to 7.9 percent in October.
Economists have warned in recent months that the Massachusetts economy is slowing in the face of global economic slowdown and uncertainty about US tax and spending policies. Congress is now trying to reach a compromise to avoid a combination of steep tax increases and deep budget cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
"Although the October [job creation] numbers are a pleasant surprise, it's not an indication that now the economy has picked up steam again and there's nothing to worry about," said Northeastern University economics professor Alan Clayton-Matthews. "I'm still concerned the economy is growing slowly."
The data used to calculate job growth and unemployment can be erratic and are subject to revisions by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Officials lowered reported job gains for September to 2,700 in Massachusetts from the 5,100 initially reported a month ago.
Massachusetts has regained about 94,000, or 66 percent, of the 142,000 jobs lost in the last recession.
October's biggest gains came in professional, scientific, and business services, and in construction, which each added 2,400 jobs. Professional, scientific, and business services include technology, research, and consulting firms.
Financial services gained 1,700 jobs, and education and health services added 1,300. Manufacturing added 400 jobs, and information, which includes software and other technology firms, added 200.
The US government added 500 jobs in Massachusetts in October, and state government payrolls increased by 200 jobs. Local government lost 300 positions. In the past year, government has shed 1,500 jobs.
The trade, transportation, and utilities sector also lost 700 jobs. Leisure and hospitality shed 200.
Although the Massachusetts economy has slowed, as long as employers are creating jobs, "we're still ahead," said Andre Mayer, senior vice president for research at Associated Industries of Massachusetts, a business group.
Mayer said employers who had put off hiring in recent months are again taking on new employees and expanding their workforces. He also noted that the job creation numbers do not include the employers who are filling existing jobs vacated by retiring workers.
"Long-term, slow growth, even slow and unsteady growth, does create jobs," he said. "I think the job market is actually improving."Megan Woolhouse can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @megwoolhouse.

With the Federal Reserve electing to taper for a second month in a row and emerging markets on the brink of crisis gold markets have come back into focus. Buyers have come into the market in 2014 driving the price of the precious metal up nearly 5% amidst emerging market concerns and the worst January for U.S. equities in years. With all of the uncertainty in the market traders may be looking for safe haven plays in metals. Gold has been relatively volatile over that period so traders looking for opportunity must be mindful of their reward to risk setups. In times of increased volatility a trader must widen their stops thus increasing the levels of risk they must assume when taking a trade. Options on futures can help a trader manage risk by allowing them to set up well defined risk vs. reward setups. An options trader also benefits from not having to consider stops, as options offer natural risk management as the price of an option can never be less than zero.
Looking at examples of both bullish and bearish setups in gold we can see that options offer a trader superior risk management and better reward to risk ratios. Looking at April options we can calculate implied upside and downside closes on expiration. Using the price of the at-the-money straddle we can then center an options strategy on these targets. Calculating targets this way works better than technical methods used to develop price targets. With futures trading around $1,255, the April 1255 straddle is trading at 58.80. Using this straddle price we can calculate implied closes of $1,313.80 and 1198.20. Using these targets we can now set up options trades.
Bullish Setup: Trade: Buy the GC Apr 1300-1310 Call Spread for $2.40 Risk: $240 per one-lot Reward: $760 per one-lot Breakeven: $1302.40
This trade sets up for a better than 3-1 reward to risk ratio and has a well-defined downside. A trader is also kept in this trade without risk of being stopped out.

Hattie Bryant needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 157 designs submitted by 61 freelance designers.
We need a logo. Ollie8.com will be a relaunch of a site that has been up and running since 1994. With the largest video library in the world about small business, Small Business School, is the made for PBS television series now available in 1-4 minute segments and all searchable by topic, question, industry and geography. Owners who are stuck can learn how other owners solved problems. The new site will add more functionality and needs to be light and airy more in the spirit of other 2.0 sites. More video, more color, more white space and less text.
Please go to the current website, http://SmallBusinessSchool.org for the big back story. However, we want the new look and feel to be fresher.
We want to target the 18-34 year-old male.
Webster's says that an ollie is:
1 : a maneuver in skateboarding in which the skater kicks the tail of the board down while jumping in order to make the board pop into the air 2 : a maneuver in snowboarding in which the rider transfers weight from the front to the back foot to snap the board up off the ground
Ollie 8 means there are at least 8 big pop ups (steps) needed to get to a billion. We will have 8 separate social networks a person can choose to join based upon where they are now in the process of starting and growing a business.
- The number 8 should be a different color.
- Clean
- Simple to translate onto paper
- Masculine and strong but not dark or mean
- Playful
- Competitive but think Southern California skateboarding in fresh blue sky, going fast and having fun while working hard to get better. You are working on style, speed, and with elegance. You are working to make the impossible look easy.
No need to include any skateboards or snowboards unless it is very cool and subtle as this is only a metaphor.
No Gothic stuff.
Nothing that has to be big to work. It shouldn't dominate the site to make an impact.

Yanks, Marlins to play in Panama, with Mo on hand
In native nation, closer to be honored March 15-16 during exhibition 'Legend Series'
The Yankees and Marlins will play two exhibition games in Panama this March to honor recently retired Yankees closer Mariano Rivera and bring Major League Baseball to the country for the first time since 1947.
The "Legend Series" will be played March 15-16 at Panama City's Rod Carew Stadium, and the games will "honor the legacy" of Rivera, who retired last season as baseball's all-time saves leader.
"It is only fitting that one of our game's greatest ambassadors, Mariano Rivera, could help us bring Major League Baseball back to his beloved Panama," MLB senior vice president for international business operations Paul Archey said in a statement. "We look forward to partnering with the Marlins and the Yankees to deliver a groundbreaking sporting event to the fans of Panama, particularly the young fans who looked up to Mariano during his historic career."
Rivera will help serve as a promoter for the event in his native country, which will also include charitable events and a March 14 gala that will benefit the Mariano Rivera Foundation. Proceeds from the event will go to Children's Hospital in Panama City, the country's largest pediatric hospital.
"As long as I can remember, it has been my dream to bring my team, the Yankees, to play baseball in Panama," Rivera said in a statement. "I grew up playing in Puerto Caimito, where I developed my passion for baseball and began a journey that brought me to New York. It is my hope that this 'Legacy Series' will inspire other young players to pursue their dreams. I am very grateful to Major League Baseball, the Players Association, the Yankees and the Marlins in making this dream become a reality."
The games, which will be a rematch of the 2003 World Series, will be part of the teams' Spring Training schedule.
Panama will become the seventh country to host games between two Major League clubs (Mexico, Japan, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, China). Under Hall of Fame manager Joe McCarthy, members of the Yankees trained in Panama in February 1946 and played against a Panamanian professional league All-Star team on February 21 of that year.
In the spring of 1947, the Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers played exhibition games in Panama during a trip that also featured stops in Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

Gwalior Campaign Star (Maharajpoor), awarded to Cpt. Lawrence Fyler 1843
Obverse, inscriptions on a small six-pointed star itself mounted on a larger one
Reverse, a six-pointed star engraved with the recipient's name
Gwalior Campaign Star (Maharajpoor), 1843
The Kingdom of Gwalior, whose capital lies south of Agra in the north of modern India, was ruled along with Ujjain by the Maratha Scindia dynasty from 1731, although after the defeat of the Maratha states in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818 it was forced to recognise British suzerainty. Its native rulers however continued to hold local power until the creation of independent India in 1947.
In 1843 however Maharaja Jankojirao II Scindia died, with his appointed heir Jayajirao still an infant of 10 years, and the Maharaja's widow, not Jayajirao's mother, was party to the instalment of a regency under the Prime Minister, Dada Khasgee Wala, that opposed the succession of the British-supported Jayajirao. A contemporary account exists by the later Baron of Aliwal of the subsequent British campaign that ousted Dada Khasgee Wala and emplaced the young Maharajah on his throne; it culminated in a decisive battle at Maharajpur.
For participation in that battle, or another the same day at Punniar, this star was issued by the Honourable East India Company. The main star was common to both awards; the inner star that specifies the battle for which the award was made is held in by nuts on the reverse.
This medal was awarded to Captain Lawrence Fyler of the 16th Lancers, whose medal group has come entire into the Watson Collection and shows a career spent in India and the East fighting for the Crown from the 1830s to the 1850s.
This medal is attached to two others and the catalogue of the Watson Collection considers it as part of Group 8 (this comprising two assemblages and two loose medals). For provenance of the group see those entries.

J J Ramsey necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 94 design presentati da 27 designer.
Annerley Barracks Retreat
We are marketing a new development of 7 loft-style townhouses and 3 apartments in an adaptive re-use building.
Adaptive re-use means adapting old buildings for new uses while retaining their historic features. We're converting a 1954 Australian Army Reserve military drill hall in inner-suburban Brisbane into an architecturally-designed (read: contemporary/groovy), yet easy-to-live-in home.
The townhouses feature loft-style living with large volumes of space, expanses of glass, a mezzanine level, outdoor decks/balconies, sky-lights and private courtyards. In recognition of Queensland's climate there are outdoor decks and courtyards and a landscaped pool and barbeque area.
Key features of the development are its sustainability, great design and livability. This is a place that is well designed with the practicalities of living in mind.
While the development is in a quiet pocket it is also incredibly convenient. It is 5kms to CBD (10 minutes via car or 14 minutes by bus - from Greenslopes Busway Station or local bus stops). Being close to the South East Freeway residents can be enjoying the sun and surf of a Gold Coast beach within 50 minutes.
The area is serviced by coffee shops, restaurants, day spa, a 24 hour gym, grocery stores, bike paths and parks. Leisure activities, such as latin dance, Zumba, yoga, Nia dance, tennis, croquet and rugby are all in easy reach.
The buyers are most likely to be:
• Late 30's to late 40's – the purchase decision influenced by women
• couples – no kids or one or two children
• professional
• socially aware
• busy people
• experienced in home ownership - this will be their second or third home, or they may be empty-nesters downsizing from a family home
They will value:
• the convenience of city living
• sustainability (adaptive re-use)
• lifestyle – relaxation as well as interesting local activities
• modern design with a twist.
We want the buyer experience to be:
• Easy
• Fun
• Professional
• Straightforward
The style and tone of the development is:
• Appealing to young, or young at heart (eg. 40 is the new 30)
• Modern classic
• Elegant as well as warm and friendly
• Relaxed yet chic
• High quality
• Practical design
• Ecologically aware (demonstrated by use of recycled timbers, rainwater tanks, clerestory roof, reuse of materials (eg. frame of building, staircases etc)
• Reminiscent of industrial architecture (due to style of building and reuse of materials)
Attached are images to give you a sense of the type of development we have in mind.
We need a logo to brand the development, featuring the name: The Barracks at Annerley.
The brand also has a strap-line: Sustainable design for living. This line either:
A. needs to be incorporated into the logo or
B. a second version of the logo that incorporates the strap line is required
We do not want to appear:
• Rustic
• Drab – i.e. with use of military colours such as army green or grey
• Hokey
• Too mung beany
A few things to think about:
- The logo needs to be clear, strong, distinctive and vibrant
- Colour + mono (B/W) versions of logo to be supplied
- A format suitable for reversing out (where required against dark backgrounds) would be good
- Files required to be supplied as:
- Print file format - .a1 (CMYK)
- Web file format - jpgs – high resolution + low resolution formats
- Files must be appropriate for use with Mac computers and Indesign software
- No cartoons or clip art or stock images within the logo.
We look forward to working with you. A full copy of the brief is also attached

Watching: DEPRESSION: Out of the Shadows
Chapter 5: Trauma, Stress, and Depression [9:37]
Shep and Jiwe describe the childhood traumas that affected them. What is the dynamic between genetics and environment?
Transcript: Chapter 5 - Trauma, Stress, and Depression
NARRATION: (RESEARCH LAB) As researchers try to understand the causes of depression, they have discovered a complicated dynamic between genetics and the environment.
DR. CHARLES NEMEROFF: (VO, RESEARCH LAB) We all have a vulnerability. And the vulnerability is determined by two major factors -
DR. CHARLES NEMEROFF: (OC) genetic vulnerability, which accounts for about a third of risk for depression, and what I would call environmental perturbations, which would include early life trauma, child abuse and neglect, um, experiencing traumatic events as a child and young adult, poverty.
NARRATION: (DR. NULAND AT DESK) Surgeon and award winning author Dr. Shep Nuland believes that childhood trauma played a significant role in his illness.
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (VO, DR. NULAND AT DESK) Growing up with my father was unimaginably difficult.
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (OC) In the first place, here I was a small boy of immigrant parents who couldn't read and write English.
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (VO, DR. NULAND FAMILY PHOTOS) And all I wanted was to be an American. All I wanted was to be in this world and know this language and read these books. And my father to me when I was seven, eight, nine, ten, and even in my teens was a Yiddish albatross around my neck.
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (OC) And then of course there was his temper which would erupt in public places. Obviously it would often erupt
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (VO, DR. NULAND FAMILY PHOTOS) at home, but when I say 'erupt' that's a deliberately chosen word because it was so explosive and so unexpected, unpredictable. And to me, my father was the epitome, not just of failure,
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (OC) but of someone who looked ludicrous to the rest of the world, someone who seemed worthless to the rest of the world.
NARRATION: (DR. NULAND FAMILY PHOTOS) An ever-present dread of his father's moods made for an uneasy childhood. And then, at age 11, he lost his beloved mother.
NARRATION: (DR. NULAND AT DESK) Despite these hardships, Shep rose from his immigrant ranks to attend college and later Yale medical school. He experienced a minor setback with depression during this time, but managed it with a few therapy sessions.
Then, in his late thirties, his marriage of twelve years came undone.
Its dissolution threw him into a dark despair.
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (VO, DR. NULAND FAMILY PHOTOS) Is there any human being who has ever lived who doesn't have
DR. SHERWIN "SHEP" NULAND: (OC) such dark thoughts from time to time? Is there any human being who has ever lived who hasn't developed ways of getting out of those dark thoughts? And for most of us, those ways are somewhat efficient. But for some of us, those ways are self-contradictory. They just make things worse. And the more obsessional one is, the more one gets trapped in these convoluted notions of how to get out of the entrapment. They just go deeper and deeper and deeper, and there I was. I was chained. Everything about my mind was chained. And I knew something desperate had to be done.
NARRATION: (DR. NULAND AT DESK) The year was 1973. Despite the stigma of mental illness and the repercussions it could have on his life and career, Shep felt he had no other option but to check himself into a psychiatric hospital.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS AND FRIENDS DRIVING THROUGH CITY) Like Shep Nuland, Dashaun "Jiwe" Morris was also a victim of childhood trauma. Jiwe is a member of the bloods, one of the most violent gangs in America.
Growing up on the streets of Newark, New Jersey, he and his friends have been involved in some of the city's more violent encounters.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS AND FRIENDS DRIVING THROUGH CITY) It just like you go to war.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) You don't know that you're goin' come home. You go in there and you fight the best you can and you hope you make it up outta there. And that's what it is for a lot of us on the street.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS AND FRIENDS) A lot of my homies, a lot of older homies that I know, a lot of my elders, lot of these cats don't wanna live this lifestyle. But what else is there to go through?
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) So you learn to take that, internalize that, and make it work for you, so you be (sic) the baddest S.O.B. you could be.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS WRITING) Jiwe has suffered from early life trauma, which planted the seeds for his later depression. He was born into a world of neglect and abandonment with an absent father and a drug-addicted mother. At age nine, Jiwe was sent along with his siblings to live with relatives in Arizona.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS WRITING) My mother was supposed to actually come with us but she sent us. And, you know,
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) one month turned to three months. Three turned to five, you know? And she hadn't showed.
DR. DAVID GRAND: (OC) You don't even have to think psychologically to think that if you're very young and there's nobody there for you, the sense of helplessness and the sense of-- of hopelessness and the collapse that you feel, you know? It induces depression.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS SITTING ALONE) like many children left on their own, Jiwe adopted his peer group as his surrogate family.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS SITTING ALONE) Phoenix is infected with gangs, you know? There's a lot of gang activity goin' on out there. So, you know, when you step outside your household, this is what's out there waitin' for you.
NARRATION: (GANG PHOTOS, CHILDHOOD PHOTO) It didn't take long for gang members to come calling. Jiwe's initiation into the bloods took place when he was just eleven years old.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, CHILDHOOD PHOTO) when you wanna fit in and be accepted, you don't know what your limits are. And, again, at that age, you know, I really didn't understand the importance of what killin' was.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, CHILDHOOD PHOTO) The gun is chrome with Black electrical tape around the handle
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, READING FROM BOOK) Seconds before the showdown, with hand and fingers positioned around the gun, my anxiety thickens. I stick my head out the window, aim, and meet the eyes of the fool closest to the curb.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, READING FROM BOOK AND CHILDHOOD PHOTO) Pop Pop Pop Pop Pop Pop click, click...
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, READING FROM BOOK) Crips start running every which way. Somewhere around my third shot, I feel like I'm playing Duck Hunt on Nintendo. Everything seems to reduce in speed. I feel a connection that no other feeling can replace, jubilation at its purest and ripest form. It's the utmost penalty man can physically give and receive, and I'm behind it. I now got the power.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, GANG PHOTOS) I knew what I had done was wrong. I'm feelin' bad inside, but I'm gettin' praised for it. That was my first day of separation from myself, like,
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) from that day forward, things changed for me because I knew what respect was. I knew how to get respect and I knew what-- how to equate respect and love and power. I could put that all in one. And that was violence.
YOUNG: (RAP SONG, FRIENDS ON STEPS) Take a walk into the dark side and feel our pain. See what I call a family, you call it a gang. My brother Tim shot nine times right in the street, my homeboy Maggie (name ???) killed the very next week and you can't understand why I'm depressed and I don't get no sleep? ...
NARRATION: (RAP SONG, FRIENDS ON STEPS) By age 13, Jiwe found himself back in his old New Jersey neighborhood.
YOUNG: (RAP SONG) Gangbanging put little dudie in a coma.....put a bullet through Tank's neck....or Rapee (???name) he crossed over.. Jiwe War of the Bloods in My Veins, it's a wrap.
DR. DAVID GRAND: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS AND FRIENDS WALKING ALONG WATER'S EDGE) The mortality rate among young people like Jiwe is frighteningly high. We come from a background or most of us come from a background where you expect to live to when you're in the 70s or 80s and so on. These kids, you know, the idea is, they may not make it to 20.
DR. DAVID GRAND: (OC) You know, but making it to 25 or 30, it's, like, you know, didn't even think about it.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS AND FRIENDS IN ELEVATOR) While violence is not usually associated with depression, suicidal impulses or risky behavior can be manifestations of the illness.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS AND FRIENDS IN ELEVATOR) On few occasions, me and a couple of my partners, we would load up a-- you know, a 38, you know, leave one bullet in. And, you know, we were really-- I've done it about a half a dozen times in my life. And we would really, like,
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) take this game, take it seriously, you know, get liquored up and really, like, test our fate. All the while, we was (sic) living suicidal every single day of our lives because we was (sic) out on these streets with people gettin' murdered every day. It's just a different form of suicide. And that's ...(inaudible) said. When you gangbang, it's just a form suicide as well.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS SITTING ALONE) Jiwe's violent lifestyle caught up with him at age 23.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS SITTING ALONE) I went to jail facing attempted murder charge. My back was against the wall.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) A good comrade of mine was murdered in my neighborhood.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS ALONE IN ROOM) I was fed up with it...I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

NARRATION: (FEDS MAGAZINE ARTICLE) He contacted Terrie Williams, the author of an article about the influence of the environment on criminal behavior.

Only half the stick on snaps were provided for install. I substituted using the screw in snaps. The self tapping screws were too large for the size pilot hole indicated in the instructions, resulting in a screw shearing off into a anchor hole. Very precise fit and looks good overall.

Notice to Members 02-50
Treasury and SEC Request Comment on Proposed Regulation Regarding Broker/Dealer Anti-Money Laundering Customer Identification Requirements
On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the USA PATRIOT Act (PATRIOT Act). Title III of the PATRIOT Act, referred to as the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (Money Laundering Abatement Act), imposed obligations on broker/dealers under new anti-money laundering (AML) provisions and amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) in an effort to make it easier to prevent, detect, and prosecute money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
Among other things, Section 326 of the Act required the Secretary of the Department of Treasury (Treasury) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission) jointly to issue a regulation setting forth minimum standards for broker/dealers and their customers regarding customer identification in the account opening process.
On July 23, 2002, the Treasury and SEC published for comment the proposed regulation to implement Section 326. The proposed regulation would require broker/dealers to, at a minimum: (1) adopt and implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person seeking to open an account, to the extent reasonable and practicable; (2) maintain records related to the verification of the person's identity; and (3) determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided by any government agency. The release was published in the Federal Register.
Questions concerning this Notice to Members may be directed to Kyra Armstrong, at (202) 728-6962, or Vicky Berberi-Doumar, at (202) 728-8905, both of the Department of Member Regulation; or Nancy Libin, at (202)-728-8835, or Grace Yeh, at (202) 728-6939, both of the Office of General Counsel, NASD Regulatory Policy and Oversight.
