BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ The state Board of Higher Education will meet in May to discuss allegations made against Chancellor Hamid Shirvani.
The board will meet to discuss alleged violations of the state's open meetings and open records laws and possible violations of state Board of Higher Education policy.
The decision to meet came up Thursday during a board meeting at Bismarck State College.
Student representative Sydney Hull requested the meeting following information he says he received from current and former North Dakota University system employees.
Board President Duane Espegard says the board will examine each allegation during the May meeting.

Dan Johnson, now a member of the Sox, helped the Rays make the playoffs last season.
DETROIT — He thought the ball was going to go foul.
"The location he threw it — 99 out of 100 times, I'm going to hit it foul," Dan Johnson said. "When you pull an outside pitch, you usually get that hook spin and it hooks foul."
This time, it didn't.
Johnson's long line drive off the Yankees' Cory Wade, which came with the Rays down to their last strike in the final game of the 2011 season, hit the foul pole at Tropicana Field. It got the Rays into extra innings, and in the 12th Evan Longoria delivered the game-winning home run that sent the Rays to the playoffs and eliminated the Red Sox.
It was a home run that changed the future for lots of people, but not for Johnson.
As a September call-up for the White Sox 339 days later, the 33-year-old Johnson stepped into the batter's box to face Tigers' right-hander Max Scherzer. It was his first at-bat in a big-league game since he hit that changeup against Wade.
Playing because Adam Dunn was scratched, Johnson lifted a lazy fly to left fielder Delmon Young. It still had to be good to be back, even if it would be in a 5-1 loss that left the White Sox clinging to a one-game lead entering Sunday night's Chris Sale-Justin Verlander staredown.
Johnson would line a single into right field in the seventh off Scherzer, then be lifted for pinch runner Orlando Hudson. It was a 1-for-3 return (including a groundout) for the veteran the Rays nontendered in December, after they opted to re-sign Carlos Pena.
"It's hard to know what's going to happen,'' said Johnson, who signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox and led the International League with 28 home runs. "It was just one of those things. You can't change it, so you have to forget it.''
Lots of people in Boston would love to forget the Game 162 home run, which capped the Rays' recovery from a 7-0 deficit in the eighth inning. How much would be different if Johnson hadn't come through with that pinch-hit home run, which was his first hit for the Rays since April.
Cubs President Theo Epstein would have as good an idea as anyone, but he didn't return an email Saturday. The people I spoke to who know the Red Sox are split on whether making the playoffs would have been enough to keep Terry Francona from being fired.
Some think it would have, others think it would have taken an extended playoff run for Francona to survive. If Francona was still the manager, then Bobby Valentine wouldn't be, and Kevin Youkilis probably still would be in Boston. And would Epstein still be the Red Sox general manager?
The Cubs' interest in him intrigued Epstein long before Johnson got involved. Some think he probably would have stayed only if was named president/baseball ops and given the chance to report directly to owner John Henry, not president Larry Lucchino — an offer that wasn't coming — but others think he was coming to Chicago any way.
As for Johnson, he's happy to have been a footnote, even if it didn't change his life.
"That was great, great for baseball,'' Johnson said. "Being a part of it was exciting. It was just all around a great situation. There was a higher power directing that game and what was going on.''
Johnson's baseball dream still burns, but he's also happy to be the father of three young children and the operator of a snow removal/landscaping and home overhauling business. He lives in the Minneapolis suburbs and has flipped "five or six'' foreclosed homes in the Twin Cities, making a little cash while helping restore neighborhoods.
"When I started, I couldn't patch a wall,'' Johnson said. "That whole process makes me feel really good.''
If the White Sox had not traded for Youkilis, they might have called up Johnson long ago. But he spent a full season at Charlotte, watching a string of teammates get promotions.
"Of course it stings a bit,'' said Johnson, who hit .267 with 85 RBIs, helping the Knights reach the playoffs. "You can't let that bother you, take your focus off the game. If you do, you're going to struggle. You have to let it go.''
Johnson's wait must have been painful. But he certainly has joined these Sox at the right time.

Many people consider a video game’s main theme and/or the intro music extremely important in setting the tone for the entire game. For example, Valkyria Chronicles does a great job in both its main theme and intro music and sets up nice groundwork for showing the oragnic and emotional side to war. What about Dragon’s Dogma? What kind of tone are they going for in this? An epic orchestrated piece depicting the hero slaying the mighty dragon? Something to convey the grandeur of your awaiting journey? No; they went with J-Rock instead.
Track Name: Into Free – Dangan
Game: Dragon’s Dogma (2012)
System: Playstation 3, Xbox 360
Dragon’s Dogma is a game PACKED with action, so it’d make sense to have a song to reflect that, but I’m pretty sure no human being on this planet expected a cheesy J-Rock track. Do I hate it? Hell no! This shit is awesome! Just the thing to get you pumped for some giant monster slaying.
When you hear this song play for the first time, you immediately feel a surge of energy, and the urge to murder beasts while blasting J-Rock overwhelms your every fiber. If you haven’t played Dragon’s Dogma, you really should; one of the best Action RPGs of 2012. You’ll see how fun it is to J-Rock those monster’s worlds.
Yeah, I made that joke. Sorry.

Nian loves to write poetry. She always wants to convey a beautiful message through her poetry.
I am writing this poem because of the present situation where people around the world are suffering with loss of health, wealth, life and many other losses. They becoming depressed, anxious and hard hearted. The only thing we all need are words of encouragement and hope, because one word of encouragement is more precious for someone who is struggling with mental health. So why don't we take a step to someone's life who is suffering with loss and feeling hopeless and try to make their life peaceful and happy.
We all are suffering in one way or another
Struggling everyday and every moment
suffering with different losses
Minds filled with negative thoughts,
becoming anxious and depressed
all we need are words of encouragement
As positive words can change someone's life in a very beautiful way
Its a source of healing and hope
so just say some positive words,
without waiting for another moment
Because these positive words are worth it
For someone who is feeling hopeless.

“Long Live Rock And Roll” is a new Daughtry track and it is AWESOME! There are over 20 references to musicians/bands!
I have listened to it 20+ times this week!
Four important questions need to be answered after you have a look/listen:
- Billy Joel or Elton John?
- The Beatles or The Stones?
(and for the rockers)…… wait for it:
- Guns N’ Roses or Motley Crue?
- Van Halen (with David Lee Roth) or Van Halen with (Sammy Hagar)?
Come chat music with us at our LinkedIn group too – The Daily Music Sanctuary!
Have a fantastic weekend and kick back and enjoy some great music!
I have never really been a music/singing reality show type of guy. But I must admit that my guilty pleasure was the first year of RockStar: INXS. My wife and I got totally hooked on that.
One of the only seasons that I followed American Idol was after I heard about this “Chris Daughtry Guy”. I just loved his work from the moment I saw him. And even after he lost, I knew that he was going to be a huge success.
One of my indicators of what kind of talent a vocalist/band has is how they perform stripped down and acoustic.
Well I absolutely love this version of Daughtry’s “No Surprise”, and I hope you do to!


ARTICLE IN BRIEF
CONTRIBUTIONS OF VARIOUS neurologic disorders to the overall burden from neurological disorders in 2015.
In an analysis of data for 195 countries, the Global Burden of Disorders Study Group found that neurological disorders caused 250.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2015, an increase of 7.4 percent from 1990. Stroke was reported to be one of the leading causes of DALYs worldwide.
Neurological diseases are the world's largest cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), or years of healthy life lost to due to death or disability, according to a systematic analysis performed for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015, the most current overview of the way neurological diseases are affecting people around the world.
Neurologists specializing in global health told Neurology Today the analysis brings into sharp focus the immense burden of neurological disorders around the globe. Importantly, they said, its bold statement should help free up resources for neurological care, while the country-by-country breakdown — data for 195 nations are included — will help guide the way forward in addressing the problems faced around the world.
Published in the September 17 online edition of Lancet Neurology, the analysis includes data for disease groupings broken down from a myriad of perspectives: nation, socio-demographics, age, gender, and in proportion to one another.
THE IMPACT OF STROKE
The analysis is largely a story about the devastating impact of stroke — no longer categorized as a cardiovascular disorder but as neurological by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Burden of Disease study group.
With stroke included for the first time in such a broad and detailed analysis, neurological disorders caused 250.7 million DALYs in 2015, an increase of 7.4 percent from 1990.
“The most surprising findings were the amount of increase in the burden from 1990 to 2015 in virtually all countries of the world and that neurological disorders are now the leading causes of disability among all groups of diseases,” said Valery Feigin, MD, PhD, a lead author of the analysis and director of the National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neurosciences at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand.
Neurological disorders caused 9.4 million deaths in 2015, up 36.7 percent from 1990, making them the second-leading cause of mortality around the world. Cardiovascular disorders, even without stroke, continue to be the leading mortality cause.
The increase in years of healthy life that have been lost among the world's population due to neurological disorders comes despite decreases in rates of DALYs per 100,000 when they are adjusted for age. This age-adjusted rate fell by 29.7 percent from 1990 to 2015.
“In terms of absolute number of people affected by neurological disorders, most of the increase in the burden was associated with aging of the population and population growth,” the study authors wrote.
DR. JEROME H. CHIN: “Despite improvements in the prevention and treatment of some neurological disorders, for example, stroke, meningitis, and epilepsy, the absolute global burden has increased as a result of population expansion and increasing life expectancies.”
The researchers found that stroke accounted for 118.6 million DALYs in 2015, an increase of 21.7 percent from 1990, and 6.3 million deaths, an increase of 36.4 percent.
Globally, stroke accounted for the largest proportion of DALYs, at 47.3 percent of the total, and deaths, at 67.3 percent.
MIGRAINE, MENINGITIS, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Migraine, meningitis, and Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia accounted for the next highest proportion of DALYs. The second largest contributor to deaths from neurological disorders was Alzheimer's disease and other dementia causes, with the other causes accounting for a much smaller proportion.
Stroke was also found to be the leading cause of age-adjusted DALY rates in 18 of 21 Global Burden of Disease regions.
The lowest age-adjusted DALY rates were seen in high-income countries, while the highest rates were seen in Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Guinea-Bissau, Kiribati, and Somalia. Communicable neurological diseases, such as meningitis, were a big contributor to the disease burden in low-income regions, while they ranked very low in high-income regions.
THE SUBSTANIAL BURDEN
Jerome H. Chin, MD, PhD, MPH, FAAN, chair of the International Subcommittee of the AAN and adjunct professor of neurology at New York University, said the report illustrates how the burden of neurological disorders is “substantial, varied, and growing.”
“Despite improvements in the prevention and treatment of some neurological disorders, for example, stroke, meningitis, and epilepsy, the absolute global burden has increased as a result of population expansion and increasing life expectancies,” he said. “Currently, 84 percent of the world's population resides in low- and middle-income countries where most of the population growth is occurring. The fastest growing region is sub-Saharan Africa whose population will double in the next few decades. Stroke is clearly the biggest threat to neurological health globally, responsible for 47 percent of the global burden of neurological disorders.”
Wolfgang Grisold, MD, Secretary General of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), said that with this study, the authors were “courageous enough to reach over the prevalent corset of classification,” thereby “allowing a more expanded and timely view on the prevalence of neurological diseases.”
“The new study provides important evidence that brain diseases have moved on from an under-estimated, under-recognized, and under-resourced group of conditions to a major challenge for health policy worldwide and that sufficient resources have to be provided for disease prevention and management,” he said.
DR. VALERY FEIGIN: “The most surprising findings were the amount of increase in the burden from 1990 to 2015 in virtually all countries of the world and that neurological disorders are now the leading causes of disability among all groups of diseases.”
AGE-STANDARDIZED rates of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and (B) deaths per 100,000 people from all neurological disorders combined in 2015.
The WFN cooperates with a wide range of organizations at the global and regional level to address this challenge, he said.
“The important impact of neurological diseases on global health is increasingly being discussed in the framework of international organizations,” he said. The WHO Global NCD (non-communicable diseases) Action Plan 2013-2020 and the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations are two projects aimed at the prevention of neurological conditions.
But he added that the recent WHO-WFN Neurology Atlas publication “shows that the resources available for neurological diagnosis, therapy, and access to neurological care are still very unevenly distributed globally. These new data will give us additional arguments to make the point that sufficient resources for brain health have to be provided at all levels.”
WFN is also devoted to improving neurological care worldwide, he said, with a program to “ensure knowledge transfer across national borders,” with low-income countries as the main target.
“The disparity and inequalities of health systems, the lack of financial resources in many countries, cultural and religious hurdles, as well as political aspects are among the major obstacles to making more progress in the field of neurological care on the global scale.”
The World Stroke Organization (WSO) is leading awareness campaigns among the general population and among health professionals, said Bo Noorving, MD, PhD, past president of the WSO.
“We advise decision-makers and governmental bodies on best scientifically-based policies,” he said. “We arrange stroke congresses, and we have many education activities ongoing. The greatest barriers relate to shortage of resources in the health system, the underfunding of stroke services, and the difficulties to change established habits.”
He said that the organization will continue its strong advocacy for stroke resources and that stroke “is no longer invisible under the umbrella of ‘cardiovascular diseases,’ but identified on its own as one of the core NCDs, possible to prevent and treat.”
Dr. Chin, who is now teaching and providing pro bono neurological care in Uganda, where he spends two months a year, said the barriers to basic neurological care in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where he has also worked, are “numerous and complex.”
RANKING OF AGE-STANDARDIZED DALY rates for all neurological disorders by Global Burden Disease region in 2015.
“The neurological workforce gap is a key element, in addition to a lack of universal health care coverage, limited health-sector budgets, and inadequate preventive care and health education,” he said.
For its part, the AAN, the membership of which 20 percent is international, offers reduced membership rates for members in low- and middle-income countries; offers an international scholarship award to attend the annual AAN meeting; provides education programs at its Annual Meeting; supports the annual European Academy of Neurology regional teaching course in Africa; and offers free copies of Continuum, a publication for lifelong learning, to eligible institutions through the WFN.
Dr. Chin said that the AAN Global Health Section, launched by him and four colleagues in 2011, has grown from 50 signatories to 400 members.
“As a result of the formation of the section, there are science and education topic categories in global health at the AAN Annual Meeting, which has stimulated increasing interest in global neurology.”

What transformed a man who thrived on hatred, a man who shot at a Christian for tolling a church bell to leave his baggage of hatred behind and to learn to love even his enemies? What were the events, and the thought evolution that precipitated a man who blasphemed the name of Christ, to worship and adore Him as the Son of the Living God? The book begins with the "Physical Jihad" of Jerry Rassamni as a militant Druze Muslim warring against Christians during the Lebanese Civil War. The narrative briskly shifts to Jerry's "Personal Jihad"--Journey to spiritual enlightenment. While attempting to refute Christianity, Jerry was instead convicted of his own sin, and in need for a savior. This led him to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. This ex-militant Muslim shares the powerful evidence that compelled him to abandon Islam and trust in Christ as his Savior. - Publisher.

by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg following the meeting of NATO Heads of State and Government
Good evening, it’s great to see you all.
We have just finished a very good meeting, NATO Summit.
And it was really great to be together and to meet together again in person, as a truly transatlantic family, or as Prime Minister Johnson said, it was like the first day back at school, seeing all your old friends again. And that was really the atmosphere in the room.
Today, we open a new chapter for our Alliance.
We addressed key issues for our security and took far-reaching decisions.
We heard a strong message from President Biden on America’s commitment to NATO, and an equally strong commitment to other Allies in return.
All leaders agreed that, in an age of global competition, Europe and North America must stand strong together in NATO.
To defend our values and our interests.
Especially at a time when authoritarian regimes like Russia and China challenge the rules-based order.
Allies welcomed today’s consultations with President Biden, ahead of his meeting with President Putin in Geneva.
Our relationship with Russia is at its lowest point since the Cold War.
And Moscow’s aggressive actions are a threat to our security.
NATO remains committed to our dual track approach of defence and dialogue.
We will keep our defences strong, while remaining ready to talk.
To make our positions clear.
And prevent escalation.
We fully support the decision to extend the New START Treaty.
And we would welcome new strategic talks on future arms control.
With continued coordination here at NATO.
We stand in solidarity with our valued partners Ukraine and Georgia.
And we will continue to support their reforms, bringing them closer to NATO.
At the Summit today, we also addressed China.
There is a strong convergence of views among Allies.
Based on our interests, we see opportunities to engage on issues such as arms control and climate change.
But China’s growing influence and international policies present challenges to Alliance security.
Leaders agreed that we need to address such challenges together as an Alliance.
And that we need to engage with China to defend our security interests.
We are concerned by China’s coercive policies which stand in contrast to the fundamental values enshrined in the Washington Treaty.
China is rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal with more warheads and a larger number of sophisticated delivery systems.
It is opaque in implementing its military modernisation.
It is cooperating militarily with Russia, including through exercises in the Euro-Atlantic area.
We also remain concerned about China’s use of disinformation.
NATO leaders called on China to uphold its international commitments and to act responsibly in the international system.
Including in space, cyber and maritime domains, in keeping with its role as a major power.
Today, leaders agreed our ambitious NATO 2030 agenda.
To ensure the Alliance can face the challenges and threats of today and tomorrow.
We took concrete decisions in eight key areas.
First, we agreed to enhance NATO as the transatlantic forum for consultations and joint action on all matters related to our security.
And we agreed to strengthen and broaden our political consultation and coordination.
Second, we agreed to reinforce our deterrence and defence.
By strengthening NATO as the framework for the defence of the Euro-Atlantic area.
And recommitting to the Defence Investment Pledge we made in 2014.
Third, we agreed to strengthen the resilience of our societies.
With a new resilience commitment by NATO leaders.
We will develop NATO-wide resilience objectives, and concrete national goals.
To safeguard our critical infrastructure.
Fourth, we will sharpen our technological edge.
Allies have agreed to launch a Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic – or DIANA.
Working with start-ups, industry, and universities, this centre will promote transatlantic cooperation, and help avoid gaps among Allies.
Allies also agreed to establish a NATO Innovation Fund, to invest in start-ups working on emerging and disruptive technologies.
Fifth, we will step up our work to uphold the rules-based international order.
To this end, we will strengthen our partnerships in the Asia-Pacific, with Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea.
And seek new relationships with countries across Latin America, Africa and Asia.
We are also committed to the further deepening of our cooperation with the European Union.
Sixth, we will substantially step up training and capacity-building for partners.
From Ukraine and Georgia to Iraq and Jordan.
Seventh, leaders agreed that for the first time, addressing the security impact of climate change will be an important task for NATO.
This will include regular assessments of the impact of climate change on our installations, missions, and other activities.
Integrating climate change into our exercises, defence planning and procurement.
And developing a methodology for assessing greenhouse gas emissions from military activities.
I am pleased to announce that all Allies made a clear commitment to significantly reduce military emissions.
We also agreed to set concrete targets for NATO to contribute to the goal of Net Zero emissions by 2050.
I also want to thank Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada for offering to host a new NATO Centre of Excellence on Climate and Security.
Finally, we agreed to develop NATO’s next Strategic Concept in time for our summit in 2022.
Reaffirming our values, and reflecting the significant changes in our security environment over the past decade.
The NATO 2030 agenda sets a higher level of ambition.
And it provides a clear direction for the future adaptation of our Alliance.
Allies agreed that these decisions must be underpinned by the right resources – through national defence expenditure, and NATO common funding.
This will be the seventh consecutive year of growing defence spending across European Allies and Canada.
With over 260 billion US dollars extra on defence since 2014.
Allies are also investing in new capabilities.
And contributing to NATO missions and operations.
All of this means fairer burden-sharing across the Alliance.
And we must maintain this momentum.
To do more together, Allies agreed that we also need to invest more together in NATO.
To resource our requirements in a
more challenging security environment.
This will require increased resources across all three NATO budgets: military, civil, and infrastructure.
For instance to support more joint training and exercises,
command and control,
stronger cyber defences,
and more capacity-building for our partners.
So by agreeing the NATO 2030 agenda, leaders have taken decisions to make our Alliance stronger and better fit for the future.
We also took decisions on our newest operational domains: cyber and space.
Allies agreed a new cyber defence policy for NATO.
It recognises that cyberspace is contested at all times.
And ensures that we have strong
political consultations, and
military planning in place to keep our systems secure.
We also made clear that NATO is determined to defend itself in space as effectively as we do in all other domains:
land, sea, air, and cyber.
And I thank Luxembourg for funding a Strategic Space Situational Awareness System here at NATO Headquarters.
We also addressed Afghanistan.
After almost 20 years, NATO military operations are coming to an end.
We pay tribute to all those who have lost their lives or been wounded.
And express our appreciation to all those who have served under the NATO flag.
NATO leaders reaffirmed their commitment to continue to stand with Afghanistan.
With training and financial support for Afghan forces and institutions.
And funding to ensure the continued functioning of the international airport.
So we have made important decisions today.
To make NATO stronger in a more competitive world.
And chart the course for our Alliance over the next decade and beyond.
With that, I am ready to take your questions.

President Donald Trump lashed out on Twitter against his former attorney Michael Cohen on Friday morning, accusing Cohen of lying about having never asked for a presidential pardon.
Cohen swore under oath before the House Oversight Committee that he never sought a pardon from Trump. Days later, reports emerged which question the accuracy of Cohen's testimony.
Trump, however, disputes Cohen's recollection of events entirely.
Trump's tweet sparked a tit-for-tat between the two men. Cohen responded by calling Trump a liar and hammering the president on his treatment of the two women whose silence Cohen bought at the behest of his boss a few weeks before the 2016 election.
"Just another set of lies by @POTUS @realdonaldtrump," wrote Cohen. "Mr. President...let me remind you that today is #InternationalWomensDay. You may want use today to apologize for your own #lies and #DirtyDeeds to women like Karen McDougal and [Stormy Daniels]."
Cohen's willingness to throw Trump under the bus is the mid-season entertainment we need.
Cohen worked with Trump for more than a decade. We are not going to forget that it was Cohen's job to lie for Trump and act as his "fixer" for the better part of ten years.
Sure, Cohen certainly regrets getting caught, but he is doing his darnedest to make things right.
The resistance needs all the help it can get.
The Atlantic's Natasha Bertrand made an important observation as the legal waters become murkier:
"Cohen said the last time he spoke to Trump was 'within 2 months' of the April FBI raid—and that the conversation is 'actually something that's being investigated right now by the Southern District of New York.' Meanwhile, Trump just admitted to speaking to Cohen about pardons."
Indeed, on April 28, 2018, Trump said it was a "stupid question" if he had offered Cohen a pardon but did not explicitly deny that any conversations took place. If there were talks, dangling a pardon could amount to obstruction of justice.
Cohen's legal counsel Lanny Davis said earlier this week that members on Trump's legal team "dangled" pardons for Cohen, so Cohen had one of his attorneys at the time, Stephen Ryan, ask about it.
“They had been dangling it for a while, and it was a constant refrain,” Davis said. “So Michael had his attorney reach out to Rudolph W. Giuliani.”
Giuliani, Trump's TV lawyer, refused to say whether Trump had teased the possibility of pardoning Cohen.
“I can’t confirm or deny whether I had a conversation with any of the attorneys because it’s attorney-client privilege, but what I can say is that I’ve said the same thing to everyone, privately and publicly, which is that the president is not considering pardons at this time," Giuliani said on Wednesday. “If Michael Cohen waives attorney-client privilege on this question, I’d be happy to say more, but he may not want to do that and have me do that.”
Since last week, Cohen has testified before Congress four times, answering questions and providing evidence of his role in decades of criminal schemes involving Trump and his businesses. Included in those offenses are the now infamous hush money payments - campaign violations to which Cohen pleaded guilty and implicated Trump - to Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford).
Cohen will begin serving a three year prison sentence in May as part of a plea deal he struck last year with prosecutors in New York.

The MTV Movie Awards April 14 will feature the social network — and not the kind Justin Timberlake starred in. MTV will use Facebook to take viewers and fans behind the scenes of the event, as celebrities will share their experiences and users will be able to watch interviews with the stars through the site.
According to Fast Company, the upcoming awards show will have plenty of Facebook woven into it. MTV is trying to tap into a growing second-screen market, where people don’t just want to watch TV, but interact with it and discuss topics with their friends on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites.
Selena Gomez will share her experience at the event using Facebook. A “Thank You Cam” on the site will give fans access to interviews with the winners. A “Best Hero” category will be awarded by Instagram and Twitter votes.
Nick Grudin, Facebook’s chief of community partnerships, issued a statement to Fast Company about the partnership between the site and MTV:
During major televised events, we see immediate spikes in user chatter on those topics. Whether it’s breaking news, the Super Bowl, the Oscars, or the MTV Movie Awards, people are watching TV while at the same time sharing and talking to their friends on Facebook. Entertainment is a category where this happens on a global scale, from fans buzzing about new openings, to seeing behind-the-scenes photos from the celebrities themselves.
Readers: Do you plan to watch the MTV Movie Awards?

Look, I get it.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson may be a hell of a fighter, but there's a reason his last three title fights have been featured on FOX. Simply put, if recent history is any indication, there's a good chance a pay-per-view (PPV) headlined by fighters under 155 pounds is going to do basement-level numbers.
That goes double for a show that features the pint-sized champion of a still rather shallow, semi-recently minted division like Flyweight.
With UFC's deal with FOX calling for four live events per year on the network, Zuffa finds itself in the awkward position of needing to save its biggest money match-ups for PPV, but at the same time providing its television partner with main events that appear consequential to casual followers of mixed martial arts (MMA) and the mainstream sports fans who watch FOX properties such as the NFL.
After the Jim Miller vs. Nate Diaz-headlined UFC on FOX 3 and the Mauricio Rua vs. Brandon Vera-helmed UFC on FOX 4 both tanked in the ratings, the world's leading MMA promotion hit on the solution to this problem: Slotting lighter weight champions who aren't proven PPV draws in FOX main events.
This tactic had a three-fold benefit for the company: FOX main events now appeared significant since a title was at stake, champions who weren't over with the public had a chance to receive excellent publicity fighting in prime time on network television, and UFC wasn't forced to give away a potential blockbuster PPV attraction for free.
And Anthony Pettis' injury notwithstanding, this is the reason Flyweight kingpin Johnson has headlined three of the past five FOX cards (with former Lightweight champ -- and initially disappointing draw on PPV -- Ben Henderson main eventing the other two).
However, after Johnson's performance at UFC on FOX 9 this past Saturday night (Dec. 14, 2013) UFC may want to consider giving "Mighty Mouse" a chance to headline a PPV on his own.
For years the book on Johnson has been that he uses his quickness and superior technique to win decisions against his opponents. That type of fight style doesn't exactly do a lot to dispel the notion some fans have that Flyweights aren't capable of delivering exciting knockouts.
With Johnson's brutal first round knockout of No. 1 contender Joseph Benavidez last night, however, it's probably time to rewrite that book. Johnson didn't just knock down Benavidez with a well-placed punch, he sent him on the express train to the astral plane and followed up his heavy handiwork with a barrage of punches so vicious they looked like they belonged on an Animal Planet documentary about a lion pouncing on its unfortunate dinner.
If that wasn't enough to convince all the 180-pound plus Joe TapOut shirts out there who don't train MMA that, yes, Johnson can kick all of our non-athlete asses into next year, then I don't know what would.
What's more, it's not like Benavidez is a chump. Against anyone who isn't named "Demetrious Johnson" or "Dominick Cruz" he invariably looks like a beast. Beating the master of "Joe Jitsu" so handily just goes to show what an elite fighter Johnson really is.
And, sure, I know as well as anyone that talent in and of itself doesn't have a lot to do with being a draw. The thing is though, there's only so many times Johnson can fight on free television before fans start to pick up on the idea that he isn't one of the "real stars" whose title defenses are saved for PPV. Eventually there comes a time where you risk typecasting him -- and by proxy the entire 125-pound division -- as not ready for PPV if you keep putting his fights on FOX.
If the point of all these FOX main events was to help Johnson get over, then he's probably had more than enough primetime exposure for casual fans to know what he's all about at this point. Besides the "Knockout of the Night" victory over Benavidez, "Mighty Mouse" has racked up a "Submission of the Night" win over John Moraga and received the nod in a "Fight of the Night" barnburner against John Dodson during his tenure on FOX.
With UFC President Dana White having already gone on record saying Flyweights will eventually headline on PPV, there's no time like the present to find out whether or not combat sports fans are ready to pay for the privilege of watching Johnson fight.

Leading Republicans in the US Congress have deleted a tweet seemingly showing support for Ye, a rapper formerly known as Kanye West, after he praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Since October, a Twitter account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee has featured a cryptic post that read, “Kanye. Elon. Trump” – apparently claiming Ye, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump as their property.
A day after the tweet was issued, Ye, who is Black, posted a message on Instagram — since deleted — saying he would be “death con 3” about Jewish people. He then made anti-Semitic remarks in interviews and dined with Trump and white supremacist Nick Fuentes at the ex-president’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
Still, the brief Republican tweet stood. In the end, it took a diatribe from Ye expressing his admiration for Hitler and causing widespread outcry to be quietly removed.
Shielded behind a face mask, Ye appeared alongside Fuentes on InfoWars, a show hosted by far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, known for spreading lies surrounding events such as the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.
The rapper said: “I see good things about Hitler…Every man has something of value that he brought to the table, especially Hitler.”
Even Jones, perhaps surrounded on his right for the first time, looked uneasy and said, “The Nazis were thugs.” Ye insisted: “But they also did good things. We have to stop calling the Nazis all the time.’
He later added: “I like Jewish people, but I also like Nazis.”
Jones tried to give Ye a chance to back down, but he remained adamant: “There are many things I love about Hitler. Many things.”
The comments could hardly have come at a worse time for Trump, whose recent dinner with Ye and Fuentes cast a shadow over his latest campaign to win the White House. The former president, long criticized for supporting white nationalism, has stated that he did not know Fuentes or his views, but has not apologized for hosting Ye.
Ye’s outburst also suggested that the Republicans’ attempt to align with one of the world’s most popular musicians in an attempt to woo young and black voters had failed.
Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, leaders of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said in a statement: “We strongly condemn these comments and call on all political leaders to reject these messengers of hate and relegate them to the dustbin of history where they belong.
“Given his praise for Hitler, it cannot be overemphasized that Kanye West is a vicious, abhorrent bigot who has attacked the Jewish community with Nazi-style threats and slurs. Conservatives who have wrongly surrendered to Kanye West must make it clear that he is a pariah. Enough is enough.”
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, tweeted: “Saying you are ‘like Hitler’, ‘love the Nazis’ and spend all your time with a white supremacist makes one thing clear: you are a vicious anti-Semite. His comments today on InfoWars are not just mean and offensive: they endanger Jews.”
Ye lost lucrative deals with companies like Gap and Adidas in recent months. It was announced on Thursday that Ye’s deal to buy Parler, a conservative social media app, had also been called off.

Were you shocked to see how tired and aged your face appeared to be the last time you took a look in the mirror? If this is the case, having one – or more – of the following procedures carried out will not only result in you looking more radiant; you will end up looking many years younger as well.
Eyelid surgery can be performed on men and women who may have noticed their eyelids drooping or sagging with age. When performing blepharoplasty, surgeons will make tiny incisions in the creases of the upper and lower eyelids and remove any excess skin or fat that may have accumulated there. Once this is done, it helps to firm the eyelid to the point where the skin is no longer loose or sagging, leaving patients looking younger and rejuvenated.
This treatment has become extremely popular because it is quite affordable, relatively quick to administer and results can usually be seen within a few days at the most. Botox can not only be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, creases and crow’s feet throughout the facial area; it can be administered into the lips and the area surrounding the mouth as well, which will make them look more youthful.
As patients age, gravity along with a loss of natural collagen in the body causes their cheeks to lose a lot of their natural volume or to start sagging downwards. In many cases, deep creases start appearing as well, making patients look droopy, permanently tired and older than they should. Plastic surgeons can address these issues by inserting solid silicone implants into a patient’s cheeks, which will make them look fuller. The main advantage of these implants is that they cannot leak, which means that patients will be able to enjoy their new look for many years.
Face and Neck Lifts
Some of the most common signs of aging include the appearance of neck wattles, drooping jowls and sagging skin around the eyes. All of these issues can be addressed by means of a face lift and/or neck lift procedure, whereby a surgeon will lift the cheek area, jowls and surrounding neck muscles. This is done by making small incisions behind the ears and along the hairline to ensure that the incisions heal without causing any visible scarring, and patients can look forward to firmer skin and muscle tone afterwards.
Although not strictly a plastic surgery procedure, dermabrasion can help rejuvenate a patient’s appearance by sloughing off the outer layer of facial skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and other imperfections that may be present. This enables new skin to grow through, which in turn leaves the patient with smoother and younger looking skin.
Anyone who is interested in having any of these procedures performed or who would like to find out more about them can schedule an appointment at our practice today.

It’s that time of year again – I’m so busy, and also taking so many pictures, that there’s no time to write blog posts, and too many photos to put in them.
We saw our first Monarch butterfly of the year – on May 22nd – exactly the same date as last year – nectaring on Hoary Puccoon.
We’ve also been seeing morels – delicious!
Close up, Bishop’s Cap flowers look like snowflakes.
I’ve found Yellow Lady’s Slippers in several places, but this clump is right on our walk – and so far, the deer haven’t eaten them. This year there are 5 stalks with blossoms – I check every day to see if they’re blooming yet.
Finally, on May 25th, they were in full bloom.
We finished clearing the cut logs from Hidden Oaks hillside – now it can spend the summer recovering.
And this is the hillside Mike and I cleared last fall – looking much more open.
This is an older restoration – we cleared it a few years ago, and the flowers are coming back – Wood Betony, Wild Geranium and Yellow Star Grass.
I’m nearly finished with my spring Garlic Mustard work for this year. It’s past the stage where I can spray, so now I’m pulling and removing all the plants that are starting to go to seed.
The best thing about working on Garlic Mustard is that I’ve been exploring parts of our woods that I don’t usually see. I’ve found some beautiful places – even a few that I’ve never walked in before.
Fern Valley – a deep gully that runs down Western Valley.
A young Sugar Maple grove on Maple Ridge
Oak woods with Wild Geraniums above Pine Point Prairie
The wooded valley below The Bowl
This was the most interesting spot I found – we think it’s an old quarry – maybe the source of rock for some of the early buildings.
We’re still seeing the white deer
Ostrich Ferns and Wild Geranium along the cabin road
Richard came to visit, and got to see a Luna Moth
Sadly, we’ve had to take out the beaver’s dam. The lake got higher and higher, and then overflowed our driveway during the thunderstorms last week. Mike has been gradually dismantling the dam – it was more substantial than we realized, with a foundation of rocks they had stolen from the driveway.
I found dozens of Baltimore Checkerspot caterpillars along the road this week.
A dandelion – photo with the new camera. The little squiggles are the stigmas of the many flowers that make up the flower head.
Wild Lupine – taken at night
Spring in Center Valley
Hoary Puccoon on Hidden Oaks Point
Richard’s Luna Moth
And another sunrise

W+K Radio rebroadcast Dan Wieden’s speech on diversity to the 4As this morning at 9:30 am PST.
Adweek covered the talk, but it’s much better to hear it from the man himself.
DJ Safi followed the rebroadcast by hosting a live discussion with Cheeraz Gorman on race in advertising. Gorman is a graduate of of Miami Ad School and WK12.5 and a former employee of Burrell Communications in Chicago, a prominent African American agency.
Recounting her experience in Miami, she says, “I was often the only black person in the school.” She told Pippa Seichrist, the President of the school (who claimed to be concerned about the problem), “You don’t recruit, you don’t go into places where brown talent and black talent exist.”
Gorman suggests white people examine their privilege and confront the way they have been socialized and admit they don’t know much about black culture. “Listening to rap is not a pass,” she says.
“I love getting the angry black woman title. God forbid, I have an opinion,” Gorman adds.
[UPDATE] Wieden’s speech is now available as a podcast.
Spotlight on NW Creative: W+K Radio on Lack of Diversity In Advertising
I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.

The Yankees have officially reached agreement on a seven-year contract with free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury. The total value of the deal will exceed the seven-year, $142 million pact that Carl Crawford signed with the Red Sox prior to the 2011 season.
Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports says this Ellsbury contract does not preclude the Yankees from being able to re-sign Robinson Cano, but it certainly puts the pressure on Cano’s new representatives at Roc Nation Sports.
Ellsbury, 30, hit .298/.355/.426 with nine homers and 52 steals in 134 games this past season for the World Series-champion Red Sox. The Scott Boras client will likely lead off and play center field in New York.
UPDATE, 8:55 p.m. ET: Ellsbury’s seven-year deal is worth $153 million, according to Feinsand.
UPDATE, 9:02 p.m. ET: Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports reports that there’s an eighth-year option.

Library archivist Sebastian Rath is worried about his friend, Kelly O’Neil. Kelly left his job at the library suddenly and Sebastian is sure that it was due to foul play, but no one believes him. Kelly was the library’s bookbinder, a job that should have been Sebastian’s. After all, his family held the position for generations and his mother wanted Sebastian to take over for her, but it wasn’t his passion and he turned it down. So now Sebastian can’t help but feel responsible if something happened to Kelly as a result of his job.
Vesper Rune has come to Widdershins to take on the vacant bookbinder position. But Vesper also has secrets, and a very important reason he needs this job. At first, things are rocky between the men. Sebastian seems to resent Vesper being there and, when Ves gets a mysterious threat warning him to leave the job, he assumes it is Sebastian’s work. But as the men get to know each other and Ves comes to learn more about Kelly’s disappearance, he fears it might be connected to his own mission in Widdershins. He can’t bear the idea of others getting hurt for his actions, so he agrees to help Sebastian dig more into Kelly’s disappearance.
As the men work together, there is definitely an attraction brewing. But Vesper knows he is only in town for a short time, and he also knows there is no way he can get involved with Sebastian, lest his secrets come out. The pair begin to learn more about Kelly’s disappearance, as well as more about what he was researching. It becomes clear that something much bigger is happening, something that is a threat that could bring unlimited power into the wrong hands. When Sebastian and Vesper face threats to their lives, they know they are close to the truth. Now they just have to stay alive long enough to protect the library and the magic it holds. And just maybe, once Vesper reveals his secrets, there is a chance for something more between them as well.
With Unhallowed, we are off on another adventure in the wonderful world of Widdershins, created by author Jordan L. Hawk in his amazing Whyborne & Griffin series. I have made no secret of my love for Whyborne & Griffin. If you’ve read my review of the final book, Deosil, it is basically a love letter to this series and how much I adore it. I have always had a particular fondness for the librarians, a quirky bunch who appear as a supporting part of the original series. The head librarian, Mr. Quinn, is a somewhat ghoulish and mysterious figure who turned out to be ready to lead an army in order to save the world. While the librarians were at times a foil for Whyborne, in particular, they turned out to be heroes when it counted. So I was thrilled to hear that Hawk was creating this spinoff series that focuses on the librarians.
Just to set the stage, Unhallowed takes place eight years after the events of Deosil. It features all new characters (as far as I can tell), with the exception of Mr. Quinn, who serves as a side character here, and Sebastian, who appears briefly in Deosil. So from a story perspective, you could jump in here and follow along (but OMG you guys, read Whyborne & Griffin!). However, there are some fun hidden bits for fans of the original series (I particularly liked Mr. Quinn’s bloody dictionary given a place of honor on his wall). It also gives us a Widdershins that is noticeably changed since we last saw it. It has always been a strange place full of unusual people, and now that the town has faced the end of the world together, they are much more aware of magic and assorted oddities, and pretty much take them in stride. The librarians have always known about magic, but now the rest of the town is pretty much in on it as well. There are some delightful moments between Vesper and Sebastian as they come to realize just how different Widdershins is from the rest of the world. Sebastian doesn’t understand how Vesper’s old library functioned without cursing the books to keep people from stealing them, for example. As always, Widdershins is more progressive than most places at the time, with Sebastian’s homosexuality being a sort of open secret, not to mention his sister having three husbands who are sailors, each coming home at different times.
So with that backdrop, we meet Sebastian and Vesper. Sebastian is determined to find out more about Kelly’s disappearance, both because he cares about his friend, but also because he feels guilty that he failed his mother by not taking the job himself. The fact that his mother died tragically and Sebastian was unable to help her just makes things worse. So he is willing to do whatever it takes, even put his life at risk, in order to figure out what happened to his friend. Sebastian is also a librarian, privy to all the secrets of magic, and so he is nicely placed to accept things that are different and defy understanding. It sets things up well with Vesper, who has some big secrets. The story opens with the line, “The monster boarded the train in Boston.” And while it takes us a while to know just what Vesper is hiding, we know there is something unusual about him from the start. Vesper has a fascinating (and horrible) backstory, and I won’t spoil the slow reveal by telling you more about it here. But it ties nicely in with Widdershins, as well as creating a really empathetic character, even as we see him in the midst of doing some not so good things. I really enjoyed these guys together. We are just getting started on their relationship, but I love Sebastian’s warm heart and easy acceptance. It is just what someone like Vesper needs so desperately — to be loved and accepted, and to find a place to belong. When someone welcomes Vesper with those magic words, “Widdershins always knows its own,” I’ll admit, I teared up to see Vesper get that acceptance he so badly needs.
The story itself is exciting and twisty, slowly unveiling over the course of the book. We delve more into the history of the museum, and the library in particular, which I found really interesting. The plot is thrilling and engaging and sets the stage for the series. I don’t want to get too much into what is happening, because the fun is in the discovery. But I’ll say I found it well done and exciting. I don’t think it quite reaches the intensity of the original series, but we are only at book one and there is a lot more to go in the story. As always, Hawk peppers the book with some real history to tie into his fiction, and this book takes place during the week Halley’s Comet passes by the earth. This event plays nicely with the mystery and events of the book and I liked learning about it from the perspective of the time period. For those wondering, Widdershins’ most famous residents do not appear here (though we do learn through Vesper’s casual glance at a paper that they are out of the country). However, I am curious how Hawk will handle future books, as it seems hard to imagine that one of the world’s most powerful sorcerers would live in town and not be a part of trying to prevent the magical mayhem. I have faith that Hawk will make it work, it’s more curiosity on my part.
So I am thrilled about this new series, and am so happy to be back in the world of Widdershins. As Mr. Quinn tells his staff:
We are the Librarians of Widdershins. Our task is to watch over the town, in whatever way we are able.
We know what mayhem can befall Widdershins, and I am so excited to watch how it all unfolds.

The Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament, passed a revised version of the "Religious Freedom Act" today, Keston News Service reports. The bill passed by a vote of 357 to 6, and now goes to the upper house of the parliament, which will decide whether to accept or reject the bill.
The bill was backed by President Boris Yeltsin, who vetoed an earlier version of the act in July. His representative to the Duma, Aleksandr Kotenkov, told the Duma that the bill's 15-year provision would not be applied retroactively.

Before taking their seats in the Darryl Roth Theatre, audience members come face-to-face with a wall of cards. The different offerings listing various life choices. From "dreamer" and "cat person" to "working stiff" and "contortionist". Also making the cut are such career paths as "haberdasher", "fire eater" and "freeloader". Each ticket holder asked to chose the card that best describes how they see themselves. These choices coming into play during the next hour and a half as Derek Delgaudio demonstrates some very astute powers of observation, along with some intricate slight of hand in his one-person show, In & Of Itself.
More than a master magician, Delgaudio is also an expert storyteller. He recalling when he first fell in love with the idea the idea of magic and how, while honing his craft, he learned that when it comes to card play, there are many professionals who are masters of one method or another, but very few who are well-versed in a host of different tricks.
However the most important tenet of all that he picked up, and this under rather unusual circumstances, was when he learned that it's not what you can do, but how it comes across that matters. The idea being never to appear too showy or confident in your presentation. For doing so risks alienating those you're seeking to impress, or trying to fool. How one is perceived being a key component to a successful performance.
Delgaudio also relates a well-known fable about what happens when a group of blind men come upon an elephant and the different impressions they get when each man touches only one part of the animal. Perception again being the overall point of the story. Delgaudio also tosses in a bit of whimsy here when he wonders why no one ever thinks about how the elephant felt while being poked and prodded by so many people at once.
There's also an exploration of perception as it refers to inanimate objects. For example, one may pass a brick lying on the side of a road and pay no attention to it. However when that brick is thrown through your living room window, it takes on an entirely new meaning, both physically and emotionally.
Delgaudio make for both a genial and comforting host. The entire evening being a sort of journey of personal self discovery. He opening the show with a tale of a man who continually defied the odds via a game of a Russian roulette. The idea, one which Delgaudio translates to himself, is to continually push one's boundaries to see how far they can go.
This is another issue Delgaudio continually returns to as he tries to get the audience to understand both himself and his methods. Yet while Delgaudio goes to great lengths to explain who he is, including sharing a bit of his personal family history, the show's ultimate twist is that, by the time the performance is over, Delgaudio will have demonstrated just how well he knows those in the audience. This involving not only the cards people chose before the show began, but also a letter he gives to an unsuspecting audience member. One which turns out to be surprisingly personal for the one who reads it.
The letter sequence is one of several situations which involve audience participation. Those in attendance either helping Delgaudio with certain happenings on stage or contributing their own ideas to what is unfolding, or what may unfold in the future.
The show is ably directed by Frank Oz, who gives Delgaudio free rein to reach out to the audience on a seemingly one-to-one level. The work given an extra layer of subtlety thanks to the music of Mark Mothersbaugh.
Quite satisfying and intellectually stimulating, when all is said, shown and done, In & Of Itself proves to be a very enjoyable experience.

Today, a couple of buddies and I took a road trip to Natchitoches, LA to meet with town officials about the upcoming LA State shoot. It was a very productive day of planning, and meeting.
Even after living in that little city for 20 years, I am yet amazed at the depth of the history in that town, and how connected the people are to both the history and the present.
That's Big Mark on the left, and Sinister Sal on the right, talking about the relative merits of one venue over another. After meeting with city officials (the mayor and police chief), we've got a better understanding of the task ahead of us, and we're really looking forward to making this a first class event.

A promising new technique for welding nanowires with a simple blast of light has been demonstrated by engineers at Stanford University.
The technique, which takes advantage of the plasmonic interaction between light and metal, promises to facilitate the creation of electrically conductive metal nanowire meshes. Until now, it hasn’t been possible to heat and weld the nanowires without damaging them. The plasmonic technique instantly fuses the delicate wires where they touch each other, but stops welding once the wires have fused, leaving them undamaged.
According to one of the paper’s senior authors, “[t]his ability to heat with precision greatly increases the control, speed, and energy efficiency of nanoscale welding.”Read more at Stanford University
