Striving to tie the major league record of homering in eight consecutive games, Morales went 0-for-3 with a walk and did not hit the ball out of the infield. In his final chance, the Toronto slugger swung through a slider from Paul Fry to strike out in the eighth inning.
Though he failed to match the mark shared by Dale Long, Don Mattingly and Ken Griffey Jr., Morales owns the big league record for successive games with a home run by a switch-hitter. He also owns the franchise record for consecutive games with a long ball.
Facing Baltimore rookie David Hess, against whom he homered last week, Morales struck out in the first inning, grounded out in the fourth and drew a four-pitch walk in the sixth.
Hess (3-8) tossed six innings of four-hit ball to earn his first win since May 25. He was 0-7 in his previous 12 starts, though he did pitch very well against Toronto his last time out.
The game was scoreless until the Orioles broke through in the sixth against Sam Gaviglio (3-7). After Chris Davis drove in a run by hitting into a fielder's choice with the bases loaded, Trey Mancini hit a three-run homer to send Baltimore on its way to its first win since Aug. 18.
Mancini added a two-run double in the seventh and scored on a single by Tim Beckham. The five RBIs for Mancini matched his career high.
The Orioles improved to 2-12 against Toronto.
Morales endured an 0-for-29 skid in May and had only 14 homers on Aug. 14 before launching his improbable streak.
"It's been a surprise. I didn't see it coming," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "What's made it more incredible is the overly extended slump at the start of the season."
When Morales is on a roll, even pitches out of the strike zone can end up soaring over the outfield wall.
Asked how his staff could keep Morales from tying the record, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said, "It's so easy to sit there and go, 'Listen, just don't throw him anything.' It's hard to pitch around him, quite frankly."
OLDIE BUT GOODIE
Toronto reliever Murphy Smith became the oldest Blue Jay to make his major league debut, at 31 years and 2 days. He has pitched in 277 minor league games.
Blue Jays: 3B Josh Donaldson (left calf tightness) will start a rehab assignment Tuesday at Class A Dunedin. He has been sidelined since May 29. ... INF Brandon Drury (broken left hand) had imaging done and is scheduled for another MRI later in the week, Gibbons said. ... INF Yangervis Solarte (right oblique strain) has started strengthening exercises. ... RHP Marcus Stroman (middle finger) has started catching and throwing progressions.

Erosive esophagitis (EE) is a condition characterized by breaks (irritation and damage) in the inner lining of the esophagus (tube that runs from the throat to the stomach) caused by a recurring reflux of acidic stomach contents over time. It is estimated that 65 million people in the US have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and that 20% of GERD sufferers have EE. Symptoms of EE and GERD may include heartburn (a rising, burning sensation behind the breastbone) and regurgitation (sensation of backward flow of liquid content up into the chest or throat). Complications (which are not very common) include narrowing (strictures) of the esophagus that can lead to difficulty swallowing or food getting stuck (in the chest). EE is also a risk factor for developing Barrett’s esophagus, an adaptation to chronic reflux resulting in formation of a new (different) type of inner lining of the esophagus that is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, a serious and potentially fatal cancer of the esophagus.
Gastroparesis is a chronic, severe and debilitating disorder that may be associated with dysfunction in the enteric nervous system, causing the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine to slow or stop, and preventing or disrupting normal digestion. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, bloating, early satiety, fullness after eating and abdominal pain. These symptoms are chronic and often constant, significantly impacting the patient’s quality of life. Severe cases result in the inability to digest foods and liquids and lead to malnutrition, weight loss and dehydration, periodically requiring hospitalization.

Professor Márta Korbonits gave the Lady Estelle Wolfson lecture in translational medicine at the Royal College of Physicians on the 24th October 2018 during the Acute and General Medicine Conference.
29 October 2018
Professor Korbonits's talk entitled “Legends, genetics and molecular biology” concentrated on conditions associated with growth hormone excess starting in childhood and producing pituitary gigantism.
She started her lecture by reviewing the medical and social history of this condition, adding elements of historical legends about patients up to the present time when genetic alterations have been discovered resulting in this disease. She then discussed how questions posed by clinical observations have led to scientific questions in the laboratory. Answering these questions using cells or model animals, such as knockout mice with disrupted gene specifically directed to the pituitary gland, or using fruit flies to model genetic variants identified in humans, have provided evidence about the pathogenicity of the genetic variants. The results have allowed clinicians to give appropriate genetic advice to patients and their families.
Professor Korbonits also explained how clinical suspicion can ultimately lead to the correct diagnosis with help from laboratory experiments, despite the sometimes negative initial clinical test results. She emphasized the importance of public engagement and showed how her research was enriched by a study developed together with patients. She completed her talk linking long-standing folktales and observation of people with extreme tall stature from Ireland to a genetic variant causing the disease over the last 2.5 thousand years.
Márta Korbonits is Professor of Endocrinology and Deputy Director at the William Harvey Research Institute.

'Whoomp! (There it is)' and Obama -- the anatomy of a meme
By Garance Franke-Ruta
Was Barack Obama an extra in the 1993 rap video hit for "Whoomp! (There it is)"?
Of all the conspiracy theories that have attached themselves to the president like sticky oil globs to a beach, the one that surfaced online this week based on the grainy YouTube of a 17-year-old music video by the Atlanta duo Tag Team has to be the most mischevious -- and harmlessly fun. Proof, if anyone needed it, that even in These Serious Times summer silly season goofs will still be had.
Gawker kicked off the speculation on Saturday when it picked up on the musings of conservative site Tennessee Sons of Liberty and some minor discussions on hip hop music boards to spin out one of its unique online investigations -- basically a ton of Googling plus close reading -- and concluded that the answer was no, "Sorry, Internet, it's not Obama. But as far as conspiracy theories go, it's way better than that whole secret Muslim thing."
A dominoes-playing extra wearing gold rings and a Compton hat (so early '90s!) at 1:02 in the video was not, in fact, the 31-year-old Harvard Law School graduate, but rather someone who looked a bit like the America's first black president as a young man only because the resolution on the YouTube video was so poor and the screenshot from it first posted was captured at a moment of fleeting resemblence later video moments undermined.
But in the new media environment, a funny question without a definitive answer can be too good to check -- and by Monday the idea had been picked up by CNN, The Fox Nation and variety of other outlets, both MSM and blog.
"I don't think it is, but it would be quite a story if it was him in the video...Obama does like rap music, and if you remember, Jay-Z was recently at the WH, sitting down in the Situation Room. Obama also met with Ludacris before becoming President," HotAirPundit opined.
This past weekend we examined the evidence for and against an Obama cameo and reached the conclusion that, no, Obama did not take time out in 1993 from his career as a community organizer in Chicago to film a 2-second cameo with an Atlanta rap duo.
But this is the Internet, where conspiracies die harder than Bruce Willis in a series of 1990s action films. Over 200,000 people have read our original post; thousands of other outlets picked it up. CNN actually asked the White House for a comment. They "did not immediately respond." A suspicious silence! And Obama's potential cameo is now in the Wikipedia entry for "Whoomp (There it is)" which means it is a true fact for all of eternity. Pandora's box has been opened, and the Whoomper Conspiracy will probably never die: Says commenter patlippert "I won't believe it's not him until he shows us his resume, which if he did and it proved me wrong, I'll claim it was faked."
At this point, of course, someone had to come in and referee the situation with more than Internet evidence. Enter Politifact, the truth-squadding site now working with ABC's "This Week" to fact-check the Sunday talkers. They reported:
We tracked down half the Tag Team, the rapper DC the Brain Supreme who also goes by the name Cecil Glenn. He first heard of the Obama video rumor on Saturday, and has since received calls from New York magazine and Inside Edition.
"This is like an episode of South Park," Glenn said. "You can't pay for that kind of publicity."
Glenn recounted the taping of the video in Atlanta, saying he gathered extras through word of mouth. A friend also put out an open invitation on a local radio station. The video was filmed at an Atlanta fairground.
Glenn said he doesn't think the man in the video is Obama. "It doesn't add up. It's hard to say he was in Atlanta and said, 'Ooh, I want to be in the Whoomp! (There It Is) video.' "
But, Glenn said, "I can't be for sure because that was a real big video shoot and thousands of people showed up." ...
Finally, the White House put the issue to rest. Spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield declared the rumors untrue.
"It is not him," she said.
But by then the meme was off and by nightfall Tuesday, it hopped to "The Colbert Report":
|The Colbert Report||Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c|
|Obama's Whoomp! There It Is Controversy|
And once it was on Colbert, well...
Wednesday morning saw stories on ABC News "For the record, I have never asked Gibbs about the 2 Live Crew song, but then again, we haven't had a briefing in several days," Jake Tapper wrote -- and elsewhere across the Web.
And now, of course, The Washington Post.

Between 1990 and 2010 the United Kingdom improved its health outcomes but not as fast as 18 other similar developed countries, a new study has found. Relative to the other countries UK performance worsened on most measures of healthy life expectancy over the two decades.
The findings, from the Global Burden of Disease Study and published in the Lancet, found that on years of life lost the UK could in 1990 boast better than average performance in eight of 30 categories: self harm, road injuries, congenital abnormalities, cardiovascular causes other than heart disease or stroke, cirrhosis, diabetes, falls, and kidney disease. By 2010 this was down to four: road injuries, diabetes, liver cancer, and kidney disease.1

BAZUKA EXTRA STRENGTH GEL 6G
Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel is a max strength treatment for several skin problems, such as:
- Corns and Calluses (Hardening of the skin)
It works with the solution, containing the active ingredient salicylic acid, going into the pores of the skin and breaking down the infected part. It also forms a protective barrier which prevents the spread of the virus.
Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel is a treatment for warts and verrucas.
Warts and verrucas are small excessive growths of skin caused by a type of virus.
Warts often occur on the fingers, or on the back of the hands. You can recognise the common wart by the rough ‘cauliflower-like’ appearance of the surface. Verrucas occur only on the sole of the foot. They can be painful, and often look like a small white ring of skin with black dots in the centre. The virus is very infectious. This means that warts and verrucas can grow and spread, particularly if left untreated. The virus can also be transferred to other parts of the body or from one person to another (see Section 6 for guidance on how this can be avoided).
Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel is suitable for use by adults, the elderly and children aged over 2 years. Children under 12 years should be treated by an adult and treatment of infants under 2 years is not recommended.

Warehouses of Neglect: Violations of Health and Education Rights in Bulgaria's Institutions for Children and Young Adults with Mental Disabilities
Teenagers rocking rhythmically; Dzhurkovo social care home,
near Laki, Bulgaria, June 2006 © Elizabeth Stubbins
Warehouses of Neglect describes human rights violations in three social care homes under the authority of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy (MLSP). The report describes the results of visits to the institutions at Dzhurkovo, Petrovo and Gorna Bania, undertaken by a small research team in June 2006, and analyzes factual findings against Bulgaria's treaty obligations and in the context of its bid to join the European Union (EU) in January 2007. The report closes with recommendations addressed to the MLSP, individual municipalities, European Union institutions and member states, and international donors.
The research mission was conceived as a result of the planned "restructuring" of the Dzhurkovo care home from a children's institution into a home for young adults, following a national scandal at the deaths of 13 children and one 18 year old in the winter of 1996-7. This "restructuring" took place from 30 November 2005, when Dzhurkovo's under-18-year-olds were moved to the homes at Petrovo and Gorna Bania. The goal of the research was not only to assess the material conditions, health and education rights available to the residents in all three homes, but also to monitor the human rights of the children transferred from Dzhurkovo to Petrovo and Gorna Bania. Conditions amounted to inhuman or degrading treatment for bedridden children and the so-called "severe cases" at Dzhurkovo, and arguably for bedridden children at Petrovo. Despite brighter scenery and plenty of facilities for occupational therapy at Petrovo, children's rights to the best attainable standard of health and to specialist education were still under threat. Gorna Bania stood out as the most advanced of the three social care homes in terms of health-care for severely disabled children, but none of the home's several articulate teenagers currently attended school.
Bulgaria is due to accede to the European Union in 2007, possibly with the imposition of "safeguard clauses" to combat judicial corruption and organized crime. While the conditions in social care homes for children and psychiatric hospitals for adults have been referred to with concern in the European Commission's Monitoring Report on Bulgaria, the plight of tens of thousands of children and adults detained in Bulgaria's institutions has never been mooted as a "make-or-break" issue for EU Accession. This report argues that Bulgarian authorities, the EU Commission and member states must work together immediately to dismantle Bulgaria's network of social care homes, and to fund alternative social services for Bulgaria's disabled children.2 Ongoing violations of health and education rights must cease, and reparations should be provided, in the form of compensation, rehabilitation, and remedial education to assist those children and young adults harmed by inhuman or degrading treatment in Bulgaria's institutions.
At all three institutions, the state had failed to respect and ensure residents' rights to education and to the best attainable standard of physical and mental health, as mandated by Bulgaria's international treaty commitments3. There are concerns that at least some of Dzhurkovo's residents may be arbitrarily detained,4 as theiy had not been subject to a guardianship procedure at the Regional Court in Plovdiv by June 2006.The disabled children seen by the research team have suffered violations of their rights to dignity, independence, social integration and participation in the life of the community,5 often in spite of the genuine efforts of individual staff members. The neglect experienced by the most severely disabled children and young adults, particularly those deemed "bedridden", may reach the threshold of inhuman or degrading treatment, prohibited by Article 3 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).6 While material conditions and specialist facilities at children's social care homes have improved in recent years largely as a result of international donations, the conditions for the most severely disabled children do not provide a standard of living sufficient for their mental and physical well-being.7 The conditions in the home at Dzhurkovo, now a home for young adults, do not respect residents' rights to an adequate standard of living,8 and may themselves amount to inhuman or degrading treatment.
Diagnostic techniques were unscientific and diagnoses were inadequately, if ever, reviewed.9 All residents at these homes were diagnosed with mental disabilities (intellectual disabilities or psychiatric illnesses), but the researchers found children with untreated tumours, facial deformities, physical illnesses and sensory disabilities, all of whom were assumed without apparent evidence also to have intellectual or psychiatric impairments.
Staff members' statements indicated the assumption that all behaviours demonstrated by the children were as a result of a mental disability. One boy at Petrovo who grasped the author's hand and spun her around, gesticulating desperately at the door to a balcony, was deemed "disruptive." There was little or no awareness that his desperate craving to go outside might result from his confinement within the walls of the home. Only at Gorna Bania did staff have a systematic programme to recognize, prevent and remedy the behavioural consequences of institutionalization: such as repetitive rocking and self-harm.
Although facilities and staff training varied dramatically between the three institutions visited, most children and young adults seen by the researchers did not have access to specialist care or rehabilitation: their disabilities were compounded by neglect and a lack of specialist care. At Dzhurkovo, one physiotherapist asked if she was "allowed" to innovate, to interact with the residents lying listlessly in a dry pool of plastic balls. Specialist equipment offered a change of scene for children and young adults, but the staff were not trained to use it to maximize its therapeutic possibilities. At all three homes, specialist physiotherapy equipment remained in locked rooms unused at the time the research team visited.
The researchers spoke of the "Dzhurkovo Disadvantage" to describe the worse condition of the current and past residents of the Dzhurkovo social care home, as compared to the children who had been at Petrovo or Gorna Bania long-term. There were noticeable differences in the physical size and behaviour of children who had been at Dzhurkovo compared to those who had not lived there. Bedridden children from Dzhurkovo who had been transferred to Gorna Bania made progress in interpersonal communication following the move; they ate more, experienced improved growth, and some learned to walk.
While individual staff members expressed verbal kindness and physical affection to the residents in their care, non-verbal young adults at Dzhurkovo experienced great neglect. Staff members left them unattended to rock rhythmically and bite parts of their clothing, perhaps assuming that as they were either unable or had not been taught to speak, they did not need to be spoken to. The young adults in a day room were left to rock to and fro, biting their clothing and tissues from their underwear. They wore odd socks and threadbare clothing - none wore shoes. The staff said that shoes were put on only for 'excursions', yet very few of the residents went on 'excursions' in case they 'escaped'. Specialist rehabilitation equipment was used as a bright play space - a change of scenery for the residents. There was no innovation to promote physiotherapy or special education, and the researchers saw only one small set of drawings in the entire folder held by the occupational therapist. The walls were grimly undecorated, and despite the smell of disinfectant and some fresh paint, researchers saw faeces in a shower and a young woman being led to defecate in a bucket, in full view of the other residents.
Bedridden children and young adults faced the worst neglect. At Dzhurkovo, bedridden residents are left all day in soiled sheets and clothes, without company, affection, physiotherapy or visual stimulation. Staff members did not intervene to help a distressed young woman who screamed, bit her hand until it bled, and hit her head repeatedly on the hard wood of her cot. One young woman smiled wordlessly despite an untreated facial tumour which spanned half of her face and restricted her vision. One 17-year-old with cerebral palsy could stand unaided, but her wasted legs indicated she had not received the physiotherapy required to help her to walk. At Petrovo, well-meaning staff members said that children dying and in evident pain did not need pain relief, as "Oligophrenic"10 children cannot feel pain. Only at the Sofia Home for Children with Mental Disabilities in Gorna Bania do bedridden children have access to nursing care 24 hours a day, enabling some progress to be made in the communication skills of a dying boy with hydrocephalus since he was moved from Dzhurkovo.
The Bulgarian law on "guardianship" of those with mental disabilities leaves a life-threatening gap in health care provision. The forms completed by a parent abandoning a disabled child leave most parental rights to the biological parents, including the right to give informed consent to that child?'s medical treatment. Where parents cannot be traced, the law does not permit medical treatment to be given to the child, and institution staff members must risk sanction by using unofficial networks and personal relationships in order to secure health care for the children in their care.
Most of the institutionalized children were assumed to be "uneducable" regardless of their diagnosis. None of the young adults at Dzhurkovo receive special or vocational education, because they are supposed to be 18 years of age or over. Only a handful of children at the three homes had received or were receiving any specialist education at the special schools run by the Ministry of Education for children with mental disabilities. One teenager from Sofia who could speak and write Bulgarian, basic Spanish and English was sent back to the Gorna Bania home after only two years at the local special school. Staff at the special school had said her disabilities were too profound to permit her to learn. At Petrovo, there is no minibus to take physically disabled children to school, and no-one to speak in sign language to a deaf girl.
Many staff members have not received the specialist training which is urgently required. This reflects the low status and stigma attached to working in institutions for disabled children and adults. Without exception, the health care and education given to children and young adults at the three homes is insufficient for their needs and must be improved. However, both the Directors of the homes at Petrovo and at Gorna Bania should be commended for their efforts to gain expertise from international donors and conferences. The Sofia Home for Children with Mental Disabilities is the only home of the three which has knowledge of autism, and the Petrovo home should be commended for its efforts at community-building and provision of educational play for the children. While this report details horrors and suffering, it also points to the potential for a best practice network, which could allow the sharing of international expertise throughout Bulgaria.

To the Bulgarian Government:
- Urgently dismantle the network of social care homes for children and adults with mental disabilities;
- Do not restrict deinstitutionalization to a prevention of future placement in social care homes;
- Extend the pilot programmes for day care centres for disabled children and adults;
- Create and finance a network for foster-care;
- Ensure that disabled children and young adults who are reintegrated into their family environments can be monitored closely for their safety, welfare and health;
- Urgently improve health care provision while deinstitutionalization is pending;
- Amend the law on guardianship so that the Director of a social care home can give informed consent to medical treatment for a disabled child;
- Finance and provide for a systematic review of the psychiatric diagnoses of children and adults placed in social care homes, genuinely to challenge the flawed assumption that all institutionalized children and adults have mental disabilities;
- Train experts in child-care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and special education to care for disabled children and adults in the community - via home visits and work in day centres;
- Train health-care workers and rehabilitation specialists in a rights-based approach to the care of children and adults with mental disabilities;
- Combat the stigma and associated discrimination against children and adults with disabilities, as part of a programme of legal reform and community reintegration;
- Provide reparations in the form of compensation, rehabilitation, remedial education and vocational training for those children and adults who have suffered violations of their human rights while in social care homes.
To EU Institutions, member states and international donors:
- Share international expertise on diagnostics, rehabilitation and special education;
- Train specialist staff members in new methods of rehabilitation;
- Train doctors in their obligations to treat disabled children and adults from social care homes;
- Finance the training of a sufficient number of qualified special teachers for children with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
- Do not continue to fund social care homes which seek funding for material improvements: instead direct funding at alternative social services, and the training of specialist staff for community care and post-return monitoring.
The research for this report was conducted in Bulgaria in June 2006. One day was spent at each of the three social care homes: Dzhurkovo, Petrovo and Gorna Bania, with the essential assistance of a driver and interpreter. Each visit began with a lengthy interview with available staff at each home: a social worker and occupational therapist at Dzhurkovo, and the Directors of the homes at Petrovo and Gorna Bania. The research team spoke by telephone to the Director of the Dzhurkovo home several days after their visit to the home. Subsequently, the team was allowed supervised access to all areas of each home. The researchers tried to spend many minutes with each resident, communicating with them where this was possible, and asking staff members about the diagnosis, individual care plan, and institution of origin for each resident. The team asked questions about the availability of physiotherapy and special education for each child and young adult.
All visits to social care homes were unannounced, so that staff at the institutions did not have the opportunity to prepare especially for the visit. Following a meeting between the research team and officials at the MLSP on 5 June 2006, the Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Policy Ivanka Hristova telephoned the mayor of Laki municipality, alerting him of the likelihood that a team of human rights workers was likely to visit the social care home at Dzhurkovo. The following day when the research team arrived in Dzhurkovo, the Director of the Dzhurkovo social care home was allegedly on sick leave, and the research team interviewed her by telephone later that week. A meeting with the mayor of Laki municipality showed that he was unaware when the research team was due to visit, but he did confirm that Ivanka Hristova had alerted him to the possibility that human rights workers would visit the home. The Directors of the homes at Petrovo and Gorna Bania were completely unaware that researchers would visit them, yet were helpful and comprehensive in their approach to interview questions, and allowed the team supervised access to all parts of their respective institutions. At Gorna Bania, the Director did express irritation at the unannounced nature of the visit. At Dzhurkovo there was a delay of some fifteen minutes before the researchers were permitted to enter the home.
The staff at each home had varying attitudes towards the researchers taking photographs. Staff at the Gorna Bania home prohibited all photography; staff at Petrovo permitted photographs of children in groups but not individually; and staff members at Dzhurkovo were content for the residents to be photographed without restrictions. The research team was aware of the delicate situation as regards the residents' capacity to consent to being photographed, and their lack of understanding in most but not all instances that their photograph might be published. Bedridden children in obvious distress were not photographed, in part because they were not able to express their willingness to be photographed. In order to respect the Bulgarian Data Protection Act, no identifying information will be published alongside a photograph of a child. The photographs in this report have been selected to highlight particular elements of neglect or of expertise in the homes visited.
The researchers would like to thank the staff members and residents of all three homes for their welcoming and open attitude to the research team. Many of these staff members should be commended for their caring attitude towards the welfare of the children and young adults in their care. Bulgaria's national and municipal authorities bear responsibility for the human rights violations detailed in this report.
I have continued my campaigning work for institutionalized children in Bulgaria since the end of the 2006 Helton Fellowship: providing advice on international law and standards, and on advocacy before international organizations, to the producer/director of a documentary on the same subject, Bulgaria's Abandoned Children, which was broadcast by the BBC in fall 2007, and led to the establishment of the Bulgarian Abandoned Children's Trust (www.tbact.org), demonstrations in Sofia, and petitions in Bulgarian and English. Children and young adults remain institutionalized at Dzhurkovo, Petrovo and the Sofia Home for Children with Mental Disabilities featured in my report, but campaigning is ongoing to create genuine policy change at the national and municipal levels.
I continued working as a Legal Adviser at Amnesty International's International Secretariat until December 2006. Throughout 2007, I have been a consultant lawyer with the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers and the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research at Harvard University (HPCR).

10 ?Oligophrenia? is a term used indiscriminately and without logical reasoning to denote intellectual disability.

Terry Allen grew up in Lubbock, the Panhandle city also home to Buddy Holly. And though it’s about four hundred miles to Mexico, the border has often defined his life and work. After studying at Chouinard Art Institute (now CalArts) Allen sought about creating work that combined West-Coast Conceptualism with his own music. Starting with his 1968 series Cowboy & Stranger, Allen would fasten a reel-to-reel tape recording of a song to the back of a framed drawing. He called them “Paper Listening Movies.”
These led to the 1975 concept album Juarez, a double-album border corrido that follows four unforgettable characters as they traverse the boundaries of the U.S. and Mexico, sex and murder. Blending spoken word with honky-tonk, it was originally released with a portfolio of prints, and sounded like it was recorded first thing this morning. (It was, as it happens, recorded first thing in the morning; Allen traded some art for recording time at Jefferson Starship’s studio, but the only available slot was at nine a.m.) Allen stayed up the night before recording it, as if to get the sound of vision trails and highway hypnosis down on tape. Juarez is more than seminal, it is a haunting. As its characters hopscotch the border, and as Allen flits formally between pachuco jukebox and LA art school, Juarez shows the artist first surveying the vast cultural terrain he’d spend the coming decades exploring.
With the recent re-release of Juarez and two more of his classic albums—Lubbock (on everything), and Pedal Steal + Four Corners—Allen has found himself in a retrospective mode. The drawings in Some Pictures and Other Songs reflect an ongoing conversation with his literary and musical forebears, as well as fragments of the American landscape. In these poetic and intimate works, lines of text float across the images of movie theater chairs, portraits, trees and horses and motel architecture. The result is something both local and universal, long-gone and eternal. Finally, several of the works also pertain to Allen’s upcoming album, Just Like Moby Dick, which focuses on the harpoon-stuck whale as a symbol of determination. Amidst cultural strife and the latest iteration of the crisis at the Southern border, Allen’s timeless work takes on a new urgency.
Terry Allen is a visual artist and songwriter who was raised in Lubbock, Texas. He graduated from Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and has worked as an artist & musician since 1966. He has received numerous awards and honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship and National Endowment for the Art Fellowships. His work has been shown throughout the United States and internationally, including Documenta and San Paolo, Paris, Sydney & Whitney Biennales and is represented in major private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and L.A. County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (MCASD) and Houston & Dallas Museums of Fine Art.
Allen has recorded 13 albums of original songs, including classics Juarez and Lubbock (on everything), both re-issued in 2016 on Paradise of Bachelors label. His most recent and highly acclaimed Paradise of Bachelors re-issue of Allen’s theater and radio work is Pedal Steal, 2019. His New album Just Like Moby Dickwill be released January 2020 on Paradise of Bachelors. Allen has performed his music throughout the United States and Europe and his songs have been recorded by such diverse artists as Bobby Bare, Guy Clark, Little Feat, Robert Earl Keen, David Byrne, Cracker, Doug Sahm, Ricky Nelson and Lucinda Williams. Terry Allen lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife, actress and writer, Jo Harvey Allen.

Unaffordable housing risks harming health and well-being in Wales
More needs to be done to make homes affordable, to protect the health and well-being of everyone in Wales. In a new report, Public Health Wales highlights how the cost of living crisis is making homes less affordable for more people and how this is impacting on their health.
Not being able to afford rent or mortgage payments has negative impacts on mental health, while high energy bills mean people are more likely to live in cold and damp homes leading to higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, arthritis and respiratory conditions.
Right now in Wales:
There is not enough social housing to meet demand;
People buying a house can expect it to cost over six times their earnings;
Private rental prices have increased significantly, while Local Housing Allowance rates have remained frozen between 2020-2023; and
Increasing interest rates have added hundreds of pounds to monthly mortgage repayments
The gap between those who can and cannot afford their housing has increased over the past decade, which risks trapping those who are worse off, in poor or unsafe housing or of being made homeless, further worsening their health and well-being.
Evidence suggests that renters and disabled people have been hit harder by the effects of the cost of living crisis on housing affordability, while older people, children and babies are at particularly high risk of the negative health impacts of living in cold and damp homes.
Another potential issue comes from being unable to afford energy efficiency improvements to homes. This can lock people into unaffordable energy bills, and mean households are using more energy at a time when Wales is looking to reduce energy usage to help combat climate change.
Looking to the future, adaptations needed to mitigate the effects of a changing climate (such as overheating), could also put unmanageable financial burdens on households if not managed fairly. Changes to household sizes (including an increase in single-person households) and the way people use their home (for example, due to increased home working) may also put further pressure on housing demand, in a system where it is already outstripping supply. This will make affording a good quality home more difficult.

I Told You to Buy Mongolia!
I have been pounding the table on Mongolia for over a year now, as the fundamentals were stacking up nicely for it to become a high growth pioneer market (click here for the call at http://www.madhedgefundtrader.com/september_2__2009.html ). Never mind that you can’t buy it unless you become a resident of Ulan Bator and pay with local currency.
But the indirect plays I recommended are doing extremely well, including Ivanhoe Mines (IVN), up 93% in a year, and Rio Tinto (RTP), up 53%. Government officials were in New York this week negotiating with NASDAQ to take over the management of their nascent exchange, which even after the double, has only 300 listed companies with a total market capitalization of only $1 billion.
There’s nowhere I won’t go to make a buck, so I had to sit up and pay attention when friends in Tokyo told me that the next big Asian equity play will be in Mongolia. Genghis Khan’s ancestral land has enormous mineral resources which make it a natural commodity play (did he know?), and it has one of the world’s most GDP friendly population pyramids.
But incompetent government administrators with antiquated Soviet era sentiments managed to kill every development opportunity in the crib with onerous windfall taxes and harsh joint venture restrictions. The resources stayed in the ground. National elections finally turned over the regressive administration in 2008, and the anti growth tax regime was dumped last week.
Mongolia has inked a deal with Ivanhoe Mines and Rio Tinto to develop the massive Oyu Tolgoi mine, the world’s largest undeveloped copper resource, which could lead to a doubling of the GDP in five years. We’re talking a gigantic 450,000 tons of copper and 330,000 ounces of gold a year. Friends have been e-mailing in the results of core drillings from Oyu Tolgoi, and it is clear that this is one of the richest ores ever discovered. Also on tap is the development of huge coking coal and uranium deposits.
The spillover benefits for the rest of the economy would be substantial. Now that visas are no longer impossible to get, as they were in my day, my Japanese and Chinese speaking trilingual son tells me that Ulan Bator has become the trendy place for American college grads fleeing unemployment at home.
Who knows? Give me a low enough PE multiple and I might even develop a taste for the country’s national dishes, sheep brains and fermented mare’s milk.

Perspectives on our own species have also changed. Archaeologists previously thought Homo sapiens evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago, but the story has become more complicated. Fossils discovered in Morocco have pushed that date back to 300,000 years ago, consistent with ancient DNA evidence. This raises doubts that our species emerged in any single place.
All of these discoveries point to the idea that there was considerable population mixing throughout the Middle to Late Pleistocene not just in Africa but throughout the Old World. We know that it took place in China around 120,000 years ago by the evidence from Linjing. These particular hominins have characteristics found in modern humans, Neandertals and Homo erectus.This century has also brought unexpected discoveries from Europe and Asia. From enigmatic “hobbits” on the Indonesian island of Flores to the Denisovans in Siberia, our ancestors may have encountered a variety of other hominins when they spread out of Africa. Just this year, researchers reported a new species from the Philippines.
Interestingly, the idea that our species did not originate in any single place was an idea pursued by Rachel Caspari almost two decades ago, at a paper given at one of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists conventions. At the time, it was still thought that the “Out of Africa” replacement model was still the best explanation for modern human origins.We now know that it is not.

23rd European Regional Conference of the International Telecommunication Society, Vienna, Austria, 1-4 July 2012
While Chinese telecommunications industry has been continuously developing, the penetration rate of mobile telecommunications by province in China is distributed from less than 40% to larger than 100% in 2009. This regional disparity in terms of mobile telecommunications penetration rate is due to various socioeconomic factors such as income level, occupation structure, education level. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new approach for regional classification based on the diffusion characteristics of each province for more effective and efficient mobile telecommunication's diffusion policy and strategy. First, this paper estimates diffusion parameters, including an innovation coefficient and imitation coefficient of 31 provinces using mobile subscription data, and then classifies the provinces into six groups using cluster analysis based on the estimated innovation coefficient and imitation coefficients. The clusters are also significantly different in terms of socioeconomic perspective such as income level. The results of cluster analysis imply that the traditional regional classifications are too simple and should be divided more in detail in terms of innovation and imitation coefficients in the case of developing mobile telecommunications strategies. This new regional classification (six clusters) can be used for not only 3G diffusion policy but also the future mobile telecommunications technology diffusion policy. In China, 3G service was started in January 2009 as Chinese government awarded 3G cellular licenses. Finally, the managerial and political implications are addressed based on the new regional classification.

Your children are out of school and in case you they are not at camp, they may have done all the home activities that summer can suggest. And even if you support independent play, there are times when crafts assisted by adults can break a summer day. The following are some activities which work with various elementary-school-aged children.
While tie-dye can be intimidating, you can get wonderful kits at craft stores which simplify the process. These kits have rubber bands, dye bottles and gloves. To save money, consider dyeing old T-shirts, sheets and pillow cases. And if you wish to go all natural, why not make your own dyes from foods that you can get from your pantry.
In case you can find some print materials in your house like magazines, junk mail and newspapers, think about introducing your kid to collage. It requires hours to cut out images or letters around a particular theme. Get your child’s ideas on topics like his ideal vacation and how he sees 5th grade. Their answer must be through words and cut-out pictures.
With some YouTube videos and printer paper, it will be possible for you to put together very impressive structures. If you go on YouTube, you will find a step-by-step origami butterfly video. There are harder projects for older children while younger ones can have the basics such as the classic crane.
Making a simple bag or pillows for the bed of your kid is easier than you have thought. There is no need for you to use a sewing machine. Sewing by hand is helpful in developing your child’s fine motor skills. And you can find different themed fabrics in stores. In case your children are not ready for real fabric sewing, give them fun as they hone their skills on paper plates.
You can let your child hit the beach so he can collect shells. Rather than leaving him in the beach bag until the next family sandy outing, shells can be used as foundation for a lot of craft projects. From decorated picture frames to wind chimes and shell ornaments, you can get excellent ideas for all ages at a reputable crafts blog.
Painted Rock Crafts
Children love paint and the majority of them like rocks which make these objects a great summer project. It To keep your kids busy this summer and come up with something you can display, you just need rocks and paint. Collect rocks and paints to make some little rock critters. After completing the project, display the painted rocks in some ways from placing them in their own jar to utilizing them to develop artwork you can hang on the wall.
DIY Party Poopers
Whether you just want a craft your children can enjoy making or you wish to host a summer party, party poopers are great for fireworks and cookouts. Let them practice doing those stuffs for fun. Get an empty toilet paper roll, tissue paper, cracker snaps, ribbon and cardstock as well as goodies you can place inside.

From all appearances over the last couple of weeks, it was starting to look certain that Marcos Ambrose would return to Richard Petty Motorsports and the No. 9 Ford Fusion in 2015. However, a report surfaced on Thursday that Ambrose would be leaving NASCAR at the end of this season and returning to his native Australia.
According to the Brisbane Courier – Mail, Ambrose, a two time Supercars champion would drive for a team co-owned by legendary IndyCar and NASCAR championship winning owner Roger Penske.
The paper also stated that Penske could reach a deal by the end of this month to form the team with longtime Australian owner Dick Johnson. Although Johnson remained mum on the details, his remarks in an interview left a strong impression a deal is close to being complete.
“I really want to cement the future, with where DJR (Dick Johnson Racing) is headed,” Johnson said. “It has been embarrassing for the team to be in the position we’ve been in the past few years. This is an opportunity to be extremely competitive again.”
Ambrose has found the transition to NASCAR’s top series difficult, posting only two career wins, both of which came on the road course at Watkins Glen in 2011 and 2012.
Another telling sign a deal is perhaps imminent is the fact that Ambrose and Richard Petty Motorsports have not announced or discussed a contract extension up to this point.
Penske has already been busy in Australia, reportedly opening several new auto dealerships and a truck manufacturer. Provided that Penske does indeed go Supercar Racing in 2015, it appears that Ford, Mercedes, or Porsche would be the likely manufacturer. As for Ambrose’s current ride at Richard Petty Motorsports, it is unknown and nothing has been speculated as to who would take over behind the wheel.

Poor Davey Lyrics
Artist: Toy Dolls
Album: Dig That Groove Baby
There was Davey, there was Davey,
There was Davey, Happy Davey
His girlfriend's gone, his girlfriend's gone away, ay ay ay ay...
All he wants is a room with the stars looking down across Davey,
The sun and the moon and the sky high are just fine for poor Davey,
There's nothing left, there's nothing left,
There's nothing left to see for poor Davey...
He wants to be, he wants to be,
He wants to be alone...
Why did she love him so? Why did she have to go?
Poor Davey doesn't know, now Davey's all alone...
She did upset, she did upset,
She did upset Davey, Davey, Davey,
He won't forget, he won't forget, not Davey...

Facebook Thinks I'm a Black Democrat Who's Into Toes and Rawhide
Google and Facebook are full of ads, but the ones you're seeing are not just random. In fact, the companies strive to build a personal profile of who you are. They want to deliver ads that are relevant and interesting to you. The algorithm that goes into building your ad profile is very complicated, but you can maintain some control by managing your own profile for both Google and Facebook.
Google and Facebook take note of which sites you visit, what type of products you look at, and of course, which ads you click on. However, these sites do not share personally identifiable information with advertisers. For advertisers, you are just some anonymous user number that happens to match their demographic profile. It is nothing that hasn’t been done before with marketing since (quite literally) the creation of marketing. There is a demographic type that reads certain magazines, watches certain TV shows, and lives in certain parts of a city. It is nothing new.
Managing your ad profile can actually be beneficial to you so advertisers will stop wasting your time with annoying, uninteresting ads that clutter up websites. For Facebook and Google, it will also help those platforms to better deliver content (even content beyond ads) to you.

Mike Rizzo, Roy Clark, Kris Kline had plenty to say about Bryce Harper's selection. And Harper himself had some interesting things to say on MLB Network right after getting drafted No. 1 in the country. We'll get to some of the best quotes here in a moment, but first a couple of points that were made during the press conference…
– The Nationals introduced Harper as an outfielder, and Rizzo said he will play outfield exclusively moving forward. I was surprised by this, because everything I heard previously from people within the organization was that the Nats planned to let Harper both catch and play right field and see where he best fit. Rizzo, though, believes Harper's quickest path to the majors (and best ability to stay there longer) is in the outfield, so that's where he'll play.
– Rizzo saw Harper play in person only once, last month in Las Vegas, but immediately realized he was the runaway choice as the No. 1 pick. Clark and Kline have been watching Harper for two years now and have seen everything they need to see of him on and off the field. Clark's first reaction upon seeing Harper as a 15-year-old in high school? "Oh my gosh. Who is this guy? … And then I found he was 15 years old. You could see the chance to be special back then."
– The Nationals say they have no issues whatsoever with Harper's character, makeup, personality, whatever you want to call it. Rizzo did say, however, that the kid won't be allowed to wear that war paint on his face anymore.
– Even though Rizzo expressed hope a contract can be signed before the August deadline, he seemed pretty resigned to the fact this will go right down to the wire once again. Whenever Harper does sign, he's most likely to report to the rookie Gulf Coast League in Viera.Read more »

A recent survey indicates California home buyers are optimistic about today’s housing market. In fact, none of the California home buyers responding to the survey felt prices would drop in the future. Buyers also indicated that the mortgage interest deduction is important to them.
According to the California Association of Realtors 2012 Survey of California Home Buyers, buyers believe home prices will continue to rise in the future. This finding echoes a jump in the consumer confidence index from 37.38 in January 2009 to 73.7 in November 2012. Buyers cited price decreases (45 percent), the desire for a better location (12 percent), and favorable prices/financing (11 percent) as reasons for purchasing a home.
Twenty-five percent of buyers surveyed believe prices will rise in one year, while 41 percent anticipate home prices will rise in five years. Nearly three-fourths of buyers (73 percent) believe home prices will rise in 10 years. This compares to only 8 percent, 35 percent, and 60 percent, respectively, in 2009, when the question was first asked.
Buyers continue to experience tighter lending standards and extreme challenges in obtaining financing. On a scale of one to 10, with 10 being extremely difficult, buyers rated their difficulty in obtaining financing at 8.5 on average, up from 8.0 in 2011.
Higher down payments appear to be the norm for the market these days. The survey found buyers put an average of 25 percent down on their home purchase. The average down payment has been higher than the traditional 20 percent since 2009, when the question was first asked.
The survey also found that the mortgage interest deduction is extremely important to home buyers across all income levels and age groups, with 79 percent of all home buyers saying that the mortgage interest and property tax deductions are “extremely important” in their decision to purchase a home.
When broken out by income levels, the findings were similar across all income levels, with 80 percent of those earning less than $100,000 annually; 78 percent earning between $100,000-$199,999, and 81 percent earning more than $200,000 annually saying the deductions were “extremely important” in their buying decision, respectively.
“There is no doubt that our housing market is recovering nicely and the mortgage interest deduction matters to most Americans. This is why it is very important that Congress realize any changes to the mortgage interest deduction now or in the future could place the housing market and our nation’s economy in jeopardy, and close the door on the American dream for many Americans,” says Silicon Valley Association of Realtors president Suzanne Yost.
Realtors are being called to action at the national, state and local levels to contact their members of Congress and urge them to keep the mortgage interest deduction intact. There is much speculation that the once sacred cow of housing could be on the chopping board in order to avoid a “fiscal cliff.”
Realtors say losing the MID will disproportionately affect the middle class because a larger proportion of the middle class takes the deduction. The MID benefits primarily middle- and lower income families–65 percent of families who claim the MID earn less than $100,000 per year; 91 percent who claim the benefit earn less than $200,000 per year.
Current law permits deductions of the interest paid on mortgage debt of up to $1 million on a primary residence and one additional residence. In addition, the interest paid on home equity loans of up to $100,000 may be deducted. Plans to reduce the MID by as much as $500,000 and/or limiting this benefit to a primary residence are being floated around in Congress.
The state group’s 2012 home buyer survey was conducted by telephone to 800 people statewide who closed escrow on their new homes within the six months prior to August 2012.
