F (for Whatever) Live Moldy Slide soundtrack FRIDAY!
For their first live appearance since the Mike Kelley tribute concert at the Box in 2012, F (formerly Faüxmish and F for Ache) will perform live, in a free, improvised soundtrack to a previously unscreened program of found moldy slides presented by Jancar Gallery in conjunction with their current exhibit of Doug Harvey's Found Moldy Slides. Special guest saw solo by Christian Cummings.
F is a Los Angeles art-rock supergroup whose motto is "Simplicity Through Noise," and who have developed a practice rooted in improvisational ensemble playing using electric guitars and vintage synthesizers, in various combinations of three or four. F has released one limited edition full-length vinyl/CD recording and is currently compiling its follow-up, F2. F are (l to r): Doug Harvey, Marnie Weber, Dani el Hawkins, and Dani Tull (who will unfortunately not be performing on this occasion).
"F for Found Moldy Slides" Friday April 4th, 8 PM
Jancar Gallery, 961 Chung King Road, Chinatown, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Program should run approximately 30 minutes.
Vinyl is Cool Again (Again)
The second in my series of backed up critical links; micro-labels as art medium:
"Lately, I've been thinking about the weird inversions of mainstream and underground culture, particularly as regards formats—the vinyl record for example. Talking with Rick and Joe Potts and Dennis Duck (all founding members of the Los Angeles Free Music Society) on my KCHUNG radio zine, they all emphasized what a revolutionary concept it was in 1975 for a bunch of experimental weirdos—the Potts' band Le Forte Four in this case—to issue their own LP without the imprimatur of a record company.
Of course "Bikini Tennis Shoes"—a collage of Musique Concrète, experimental electronic noise, processed studio chatter and appropriated Papal addresses, packaged in cast-off misprint sheets of Blue Boy and Pinky postcards from the Huntington—didn't exactly burn up the charts. In fact they couldn't successfully give away all 200 copies. "People would bring them back," remembers Rick, "saying 'Maybe you know someone else who would… appreciate this better.'" Now, copies sell for, well, there's only one listed on discogs, and they're asking $743.06.
That's part of the weirdness—the fetishization of artifacts for their inferred position in a history of cultural resistance or innovation, rather than for their actual content, like they're props in some nostalgic sitcom—or fashion accessories. And don't think I'm not talking about The Art World. But the rules of the vinyl game keep shifting. Only a few years after "Bikini Tennis Shoes" every trust-fund punk was starting a micro-label, and there was a still-uncataloged tsunami of DIY releases. Then, with the advent of CDs (and subsequently mp3s), self-released vinyl became first obsolete, then a perversion, then collectible, then a niche consumer demographic—where it got stuck for a good decade.
But the situation has mutated again recently—maybe a critical mass of hipsters has effected a figure/ground shift. The turning point may have been the success of Mississippi Records, which gained international prominence by issuing short-run editions of what are essentially pirated Roots, World and Other music recordings. The record label had become a purely curatorial entity, and moved into the realm of what I suspect to be the future of art-making—the filtration and organization of the overwhelming and exponentially increasing flow of information precipitated by the digital revolution. In other words, collage
In a medium where you can't even keep track of the thousands of aggregator sites, stepping down to an obsolete technological format is an elegant way to eliminate 99% of the choice work. Sort of like writing a sonnet, or haiku. One artist who has been expressing himself via a tiny record label for several years is LeRoy Stevens. The LA-based, Chicago native's most recent release was an example of the kind of historical archival project we need to see a lot more of—a double LP of soundtracks by legendary Angeleno performance artist Barbara T. Smith..."

Mike Kelley Sound Work on Less Art Radio Zine
One of the things that sparked the genesis of Doug Harvey's Less Art Radio Zine was the absence of any local radio programming chronicling Mike Kelley's substantial body of experimental musical work in the weeks after his suicide (though John Allen on WFMU did an impressive roundup).
Since so much of this weekend in LA is devoted to the opening of Mike's retrospective at MOCA, I figured I should do a show devoted to Destroy All Monsters, The Poetics, Gobbler, music from Day is Done and Plato's Cave, Rothko's Chapel, Lincoln's Profile (featuring Sonic Youth), a couple of cuts that Mike cited as influences, a songpoem he wrote, and maybe a tribute number or two.
I've sent out a few probes, but since its so last minute and everybody's tied up with the MOCA festivities (for want of a better word), I'm not expecting to have a guest this week, which is kind of appropriate. Sunday March 30, 2014 at 12 noon at www.kchungradio.org
steve roden Picks Rags!
I haven't been posting my recent art critical writings lately, for some reason, so I have a bit of catching up to do -- here's my review of steve roden's most recent show at Vielmetter Projects, published in the December 2013 issue of Modern Painters -- still very hard to come by in LA, and their web presence is negligible -- but definitely one of the better art mags out there. Here's is the slightly longer unedited version:
"Even in his native LA, it's taken almost 20 years for the art world to grasp the extent of steve roden's complex, genre-blurring oeuvre. That's partly his own fault, having begun his career by compartmentalizing his international sound art activities under the moniker in/between/noise. But as the synaesthesia kicked into high gear, roden's diverse activities – oil painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, sculpture, installation, film, video, writing, blogging, archiving and curating… and sound art – began to resemble facets of a gigantic crystalline matrix.
Transparent Hauntologies
I was just reminded of this very thoughtful and accurate rundown of the Found Moldy Slides as hauntological artifacts akin to the Disintegration Loops of Billy Basinski and the lo-fi pop gems of Ariel Pink. Be sure and click through to his other articles on art and music as examples of "the haunting of a historicised present by spectres that cannot be 'ontologised' away."
"One of the most exciting things about hauntology, I think, is that it's possibly one of the first aesthetic movements in quite a while to see some very specific equivalence in technique between sonic and visual art. I'd been looking long and hard for a visual counterpart to the music of The Caretaker, William Basinski and lately Indignant Senility– I knew one definitely existed, it was just a matter of finding it – when I suddenly found a postcard of an image from one Doug Harvey yesterday.
The Caretaker, Basinski and Indignant Senility (call them the 'playback hauntologists') create new pieces of music from ancient tape and vinyl recordings that are treated or weathered down in various ways until they become an ironic, emotionally-laden dark ambient noise. Generally their work is not what you'd call collage – the recordings they use are chopped into long extracts, looped or even left to play in their entirety, but significantly they don't combine samples (as The Focus Group does) or mix in more contemporary elements (as Boards of Canada and Mordant Music do). In this way the outlines of the original source object are faintly intact, but it's heavily 'decayed' or 'decaying'.
The rotted celluloid paintings of Peter Doig, which I described in my big ol' treatise on and survey of hauntology, seemed a bit analogical to this process, but since they were paintings, the original image (even if based on a photograph as it usually was) was always ultimately contrived. To make the equivalence closer, the original source object would have to be an image that was recorded in a similar way as sound is recorded on tape or vinyl. Such a recorded image would of course be generated through photography.
The images in this post are slides found by Doug Harvey in the growing pile of waste kipple outside the Los Angeles home of a serial hoarder, following some kind of intervention or change of heart. Untouched for years, the slides had fallen prey to damp and mould, a process which dramatically transformed the colours and forms within them..."

Download Glenn Bray on LARZ
Glenn Bray and I got to stretch out over almost 90 minutes for Sunday's Less Art Radio Zine on KCHUNG, playing the music of Spike Jones, Basil Wolverton, Fred Blassie, Omo the Hobo, The 3 Haircuts, Zacharly, Tuli Kupferberg, Bowen Weems, The Dinks, anonymous "blue" country swing 78s, an audio collage recreation of the Sunset Strip riot by Sonny Bono, and much more! We got to discuss Glenn's huge new book from Fantagraphics, The Blighted Eye, and many of the artists represented therein -- including Carl Barks, Harvey Kurtzman, Byron Werner, Cameron Jamie, and others.
I once again forgot to take a photo during the session -- but above is a wholly convincing artist's rendition of what it must have looked like. Although most of the music Glenn selected tends toward the novelty/fringe R&B categories, it came out in our off-air discussion that he actually attended the T.A.M.I. show, saw Syd Barrett live (and post-Syd Floyd in a bar with about 10 people in the audience), BowWowWow's debut in London, and many similar epochal moments in rock history! Guess I'll have to have him back! Sorry about the loud Chinese opera. Oh yeah, and we're doing a book signing at Arcana Books in Culver City on Sunday April 6th - details TK.

Viral Moldy Slide Memes
Glenn Bray on LARZ Sunday March 16
To coincide with the publication of Fantagraphic's massive "The Blighted Eye: Original Comic Art from The Glenn Bray Collection," Glenn will be my guest on this Sunday's edition of Doug Harvey's Less Art Radio Zine (Sunday at 12 noon at www.kchungradio.org), spinning Spike Jones, Basil Wolverton, wrestler Fred Blassie, and other sound artifacts from his chequered past. Here's a profile I did on him a couple of years back...
Visionary quester
Most art collectors are passive and predictable, content to acquire works that represent their good taste and knowledge of the art historical canon. Then there are those who are more correctly identified as patrons — initiating projects, conducting obsessive research, sometimes bringing to light overlooked or forgotten niches of culture.
For years, Jim Shaw kept urging me to visit Glenn Bray's collection, but it wasn't until I wrote a catalog essay for an exhibition of his archive of work by the visionary grotesque comic book artist Basil Wolverton that I finally made the short trek to the Valley, where Bray still manages the hardware store his father founded, and lives with his partner, Dutch underground comix legend Lena Zwalve.
Bray has several peculiar claims to pop-culture fame — his rediscovery and patronage of Wolverton in the early '70s initiated a revival of interest in the artist's work and a flurry of high-profile gigs. Bray brought forth into the world the entirely new genre of Wrestling Music by recording and releasing Fred Blassie's 1976 Pencil Neck Geek single, which became one of the iconic records of Outsider Music after Dr. Demento put it on heavy rotation. Bray also sought out Carl Barks, the then-still-anonymous Uncle Scrooge comics auteur, and convinced him to get Disney's permission to create an oil painting based on one of his classic cover illustrations. One painting, A Tall Ship and a Star To Steer Her By (1971), became hundreds — and a welcome income stream in Bark's later years.
While the bulk of his collection focuses on comic art — in addition to the largest private collection of Wolverton material, he owns probably the finest collection of original work by MAD's Harvey Kurtzman, and was a major lender to the Masters of American Comics exhibits — Bray tends to support the fringier elements of the graphic narrative world, with major shelf age devoted to underground geniuses like Kim Deitch, S. Clay Wilson and the late speed primitivist Rory Hayes, plus substantial dosages of punk-era torchbearers Gary Panter and Savage Pencil. Not surprisingly, his taste in contemporary Art World artists leans to figures like Shaw and Jeffrey Vallance, not to mention a long-term strategic alliance with Cameron Jamie, who shares Bray's obsession with the European Anti-Santa Krampus.
Bray's most momentous jump-start was probably to the career of the extremely eccentric Polish modernist Stanislav Szukalski, whose gorgeous and idiosyncratic hybrids of Art Deco, Picabia-esque Surrealism, and non-Western visual motifs was almost as startling as his complex theories of malevolent yetis interbreeding with humanity, or the physiological evidence of the Great Deluge mappable in every human's facial features through the science of Zermatism. Bray found the aged Szukalski living a few minutes from his Sylmar home and undertook the restoration of the larger-than-life artist's rightful place in history by publishing several tomes of Szukalski's art and philosophy and promoting the work to anyone who would listen.
The quixotic sculptor became a cult figure and a star in the early Juxtapoz canon. When Szukalski died in 1987, Bray and Zwalve — with artists Rick Griffin and Robert and Suzanne Williams — scattered his ashes in the quarries of Easter Island, the ground zero of Zermatist cosmology. In 2000, Bray's boosterism finally came to fruition when the Laguna Art Museum hosted "Struggle: The Art of Stanislav Szukalski," the artist's first museum retrospective and quite possibly sponsor Leonardo DiCaprio's greatest contribution to Western culture.

50th Anniversary Show and Panel Discussion at LAVC
I think I've mentioned this before, but it seems to me increasingly true that LA's junior college galleries are becoming the only viable alternatives to to the market-driven commercial galleries and museums and the tenurific logrolling of the more hifalutin academies. I may have started getting this idea when Dennis Reed and Diana Zlotnick put together a mid-career survey show of my work a couple of years back for LA Valley College, where Dennis was Gallery Director and Dean of Arts.
Now celebrating the 50th anniversary of its opening, LAVC Art Gallery makes a strong argument for my theory, with a string of shows that focus on lesser known geniuses (a Saul Bass show in 1965; the psychedelic photos of Edmund Teske; Richard Pettibone's postmodernism avant la lettre, and so on) as well as idiosyncratic curatorial projects including groundbreaking surveys of Japanese-American photography and underground political graphics from Czechoslovakia.
I'm flattered not only to be included in the anniversary exhibit, but to have my Limp Chandelier (and a ghostly sculpture of Jay Sebring) gracing the poster and the cover of the accompanying catalog. The show opens Thursday March 13th, and I'll be participating in an 8 PM panel discussion at the opening. Visit their webpage for more info and directions: www.lavc.edu/arts/artgallery

Flugeldar live radio session now available for free DL!
As always, Lee and Christian's chemistry was spectacular, and previous DJ didn't show up so we got in nearly an hour and a half of inspired post-contemporary singer-songwriter treasures, including old chestnuts such as "Our Name is Fireworks," UNRELEASED new material including "Freedom in Three Weeks" and "Asking Rachel," and an adaptation of the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right to Party"!
It's a bit of a shambles, so I'll probably edit out the tech fumbling and add some stuff to make a mixtape, but I also recommend the unrefined experience, available now for free DL or streaming from the KCHUNG Archive. Here's the link: The link.
FLUGELDAR (Christian Cummings & Lee Lynch) on LARZ tomorrow
This week's edition of Doug Harvey's Less Art Radio Zine will feature the historic reunion of Flugeldar (originally known as Fireworks), the mid-Zeros art school band that galvanized the milieu from whence sprung forth Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Lavender Diamonds, and others. Anchored by the dual singer/songwriter geniuses of visual artist Christian Cummings and filmmaker Lee Lynch, the band has been on hiatus for several years, while Cummings produced his solo album Slavebation and Lynch was enjoying the hospitality of the underground fairy civilizations of Iceland.
The band will perform live in the studio, and we'll listen to some of their new demos, some vintage recordings, and some of their influences. And - if there's time - we'll discuss their recent extracurricular activities, including Christian's recent solo show ANTI-URGES & STARGATE at Chin's Push and Lee's new documentary on failed capitalist archetypes, ranging from a full-time Dog The Bounty Hunter imitator to James Holmes, the Aurora theater shooter who dressed as The Joker.

The Yorkshire home of racehorses open their doors.
The busy racing centre of Middleham in Richmondshire has been the Yorkshire home of racehorses in training for more than 200 years. And it's showing no signs of flagging in its most recent furlong either, producing at least 400 winners a season for the last 38 years.
There are currently 15 training yards in and around the North Yorkshire town, 12 of which took part in the recent annual Middleham Stables Open Day, which sees thousands of visitors flock (drove, string, stud or team perhaps?) to the area to see stunning race horses up close in all their muscled glory.
This time around they saw stars from Mark Johnston's stable (only the third British trainer ever to produce 4,000 winners) going for a swim at his Warwick and Kingsley House Stables; a host of exciting horses from Jedd O'Keeffe at Highbeck Lodge, which enjoyed a record-breaking year in 2017 including two listed flat race wins from More Mischief and Lord Yeats; a fox hounds parade from Bedale West of Yore; a jumping demonstration by two-year-olds at James Bethell Racing; a schooling display of National Hunt horses by Micky Hammond's yard; celebrity pony (he's got his own range of books, merchandise and a boutique now) Little Alf with his trusty human sidekick Hannah Russell; and a series of races including a new but very popular addition to the card – a donkey derby.
Regular visitor – and one of the undisputed stars of Middleham Stables Open Day – Trooper Middleham got a hero's welcome when he strode majestically back into town this year. The military working horse, a valued four-legged member of the Household Cavalry, was stabled at Barry Keniry's Warwick Lodge for the duration of his stay.
He has taken part in many state ceremonies over the years, including the State Opening of Parliament and the Queen's Birthday Parade, as well as military jumping competitions as part of the Blues & Royals Squadron.
This year's open day, sponsored by ARC (Arena Racing Company), followed in the highly successful hoofsteps of the 2017 event, which attracted big crowds and raised much-needed money for Racing Welfare's Hill House development (racingwelfare.co.uk) in memory of Jessica Bethell, who died of meningitis in 2012 but whose spirit endures through the Jessica Bethell Foundation (jessicabethellfoundation.co.uk), set up to specifically raise funds for worthy causes in Middleham.
Further funds were also donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Riding for the Disabled, Citizens' Advice Bureau and Middleham Sports & Wellbeing Association.

Our accountant has suggested we set up a family trust and invest through that, because it will have asset protection and estate advantages, and allows us to minimise our taxes. We are in our forties, earn a combined $120,000 a year, and are paying off our mortgage.
It is possible to borrow money using a property investor trust if you know which lenders to apply with. Investment loans: 95% of the property value. Low doc (no income evidence): 60% of the property value, on a case by case basis.
Assuming from your use of the term "family trust" that this is a discretionary trust, I sugget you read the definition of beneficiaries in the trust deed. Unless your father had some specific advice when setting up the trust to limit the beneficiaries it would be odd to limit them by excluding your children and possibly your wife as the trust would be set up to last potentially 80 years.

Brief Overview of Proposal to Establish Joint Trans-Tasman Therapeutic Goods Agency
In New Zealand dietary supplements are presently controlled under the Dietary Supplements Regulations 1985 that are made under the Food Act 1981. It is generally agreed that this is neither an effective nor appropriate form of regulation and both Industry and Government have been in agreement for some time that it is an area that needs review. As late as 2000 it was the stated intention of the Government to regulate dietary supplements by way of their own specific legislation setting up an appropriate risk based regime. Broadly speaking the Industry supported those proposals and they had come about as a result of an ongoing period of consultation with the Industry in New Zealand.
In 2002 the Ministry of Health put out a Discussion Document in which it set out that it's intentions had changed and that it now wished to establish an agency which would regulate all therapeutic products, both pharmaceutical and natural health products for both countries. The proposed agency seemed, for all intents and purposes, to be an extension of the existing Australian Therapeutic Goods Agency (TGA) to cover both countries. The TGA website in fact announced that its intention was to extend its reach to both Australia and New Zealand and certainly the proposal appeared to support this in effect if not in name.
As a result of intense Industry lobbying, primarily carried out by the New Zealand Health Trust, and as a result of the 30,000 strong Sue Kedgley petition presented to Government, Industry succeeded in having this proposal forwarded to the Health Select Committee for its consideration.
The Committee, made up of five Government Members and six non-Government Members, spent the majority of 2003 hearing evidence from affected parties including representations from MedSafe and the TGA and a large number of industry submitters. For its part the New Zealand Health Trust brought evidence from a Constitutional Law Expert, a Senior Economist, a Consultant working under the current TGA regime in Australia and a number of producers of small run dietary supplements, all of which showed that the proposal would be damaging to New Zealand businesses and consumers. The net effect of the proposal would be to push compliance costs for New Zealand businesses up to levels that many would not be able to sustain resulting in the closing down of many businesses and the loss of many current lines of products. The products that remained were anticipated to have substantially increased prices. In addition the constitutional and national sovereignty difficulties of giving the power to regulate a New Zealand industry to an Australian based body were found to be particularly worrying and unprecedented.
In December 2003 the Health Minister Annette King, in response to a question in Parliament announced that she was to sign the Treaty with Australia committing to the establishment of the Joint Agency even though at the time the Select Committee had not released its report into the proposal. This was seen by most as a blatant disregard for due process of Parliament and a slap in the face for those who had spent considerable time and money setting out their evidence for the Select Committee. Not more than a few days after the Minister's announcement the Select Committee did indeed release its report which unanimously condemned the Government's proposal as being detrimental to the interests of New Zealand both for its businesses and for its consumers.
Unprecedented cross-party opposition was achieved and National, ACT, the Greens, United Future and NZ First all joined together to give a Press Conference pointing out that the Governments actions were in clear contravention of the Select Committee's recommendations and should not proceed.
Nevertheless on 10 December 2003 Annette King signed the Treaty with the Australian Government committing the Government to proceed with the establishment of the joint agency.
This Treaty was then itself referred back to the Health Select Committee for consideration and once more interested stakeholders, including the New Zealand Health Trust, spent considerable time and effort making submissions to the Committee on the effect of the Treaty and explaining the extent to which the same was incompatible with the recommendations of the first Health Select Committee report.
In June 2004 the Health Select Committee released its report into the Treaty and found that the Treaty should not be accepted by Parliament as it did not satisfy the recommendations of the Committee in its earlier report. The Committee found that unless significant safeguards could be built into the legislation the joint agency should not proceed. The New Zealand Health Trust is clear in its view that those recommendations are incompatible with the wording of the Treaty and as a result the Government will be unable to provide legislation which satisfies its obligations under the Treaty and meets the requirements of the Health Select Committee Report.
It is important to note that although the Treaty has been signed with Australia, this is no more than an obligation between the two Governments to proceed with this line. It does not bind New Zealand, nor has it made the joint agency law in this country. For those things to occur legislation will need to be put before the New Zealand Parliament and accepted by a majority of the Members of Parliament and this has not yet occurred. Equally it is important to note that our current Government is a minority Government and cannot pass this or any other legislation on its own without the support of at least one of the minority parties. Given the total rejection of this proposal by all other parties to date it is clear that the Government still has considerable obstacles before it could have such legislation passed. The establishment of this agency then is a long way from certain. Despite this the Ministry of Health has been proceeding with the establishment of the agency as if it was a given. Numerous advertisements have appeared in major New Zealand newspapers seeking staff for this agency and significant taxpayers' funds have been spent developing the business that the Government hopes will become the New Zealand part of the joint agency. To those who have been opposing the agency, the Government is seeming to present a picture of fait accompli in the hope that the opposition would fall by the way side.
As set out above, the joint agency will be devastating for the New Zealand Health Products Industry. Businesses will close, jobs will be lost, products will be limited and the price for the products that remain will increase significantly. Australian Government papers into this proposal record that the Australian businesses will receive a competitive advantage over their New Zealand counterparts. We can expect to see more Australian made products on our shelves and far fewer New Zealand made products. Equally we know that under the existing Australian regime many products New Zealanders currently rely on will be unavailable.
Despite all indications from the Government to the contrary, the joint agency is not yet a reality. The legislation must be passed by a majority of the Members of Parliament and on the current numbers the Government does not have the necessary support to achieve this. As long as the New Zealand industry and consumers continue to show their opposition to the proposals and continue to put pressure on the opposition parties to vote against these proposals there is every chance that the TGA will be defeated.
Given the way Parliament works, the Government are the only ones who know when this legislation will be presented to Parliament and so the industry needs to stay continually alert and develop a strong data-base of contacts so that when the legislation is presented to Parliament everyone can be contacted quickly and mobilized to voice their concerns.
The New Zealand Health Trust on its own website, www.nzhealthtrust.co.nz, have compiled a list of all the documents relevant to the history of this proposal so that anyone who is interested can read further as to the detail of the proposal and the difficulties with it. The website also contains a useful template for contacting your MP to express opposition and a newsletter forum which provides an excellent method of building the necessary industry contact database. We would encourage you to visit this site, read the information about the proposal, register your details in the newsletter and contact your MP to express your opposition.
The industry must be clear that this proposal will be exceedingly damaging to the New Zealand Natural Health Products Industry and we stand a very good chance of defeating it as long as we continue to act collectively and make our wishes known.

Q: Axis-Aligned Line Intersects Triangle How would I go about getting the intersections of a "vertical" line which only has x, y coordinates that is parallel with the z-axis and a triangle of points v0, v1, v2?
Thanks in advance

A: Since the Z is constant along your line, you can ignore the Z value of your points. Thus your problem is equivalent to check if the point (x,y) (the line) is inside the triangle v0,v1,v2, taking only their (x,y) values.
Checking if a point is inside a triangle should be quite easy...

A: There is a paper, describing a method to solve this problem using barycentric coordinates: Moller, Trumbore - Fast, Minimum Storage Ray/Triangle Intersection. They also have implementation in C.
Also, this algorithm is a foundation of almost all ray-tracing algorithms, so I think you can find its good implementation in the computer graphics area.


I'm in the adult video industry?
Hi, We have recently had a few actors come up positive in the industry and I am scared. The clinic that the entire industry uses, gives us the PCR-DNA test. In turn we take this test every 30 days.
Is this the best test to use for this type of activity? Which is test can pick up HIV or antibodies the quickest? Can there be false negatives with the PCR-DNA tests and is that common?
We are not testing experts in this forum, but we seek to stay current on that issue. The test you are undergoing is an excellent one. The rates of false negatives (this phrase usually refers to a test done too soon to be reliable) and false positives are extremely low.
The specificity of the HIV test is 99.8%. That means that an inaccurate result occurs about .2% of the time. As difficult as the wait is, it takes the same waiting time for each of the tests to be valid. We recommend the first test at 3 months after a possible exposure.

Q: Ubuntu 18 set max cpu frequence I'm trying to lower my cpu max frequency. I'm using a laptop which easily overheat. I've tried a number of different things but couldnt get it to work as intended. From what I can see, my cpu max frequencies are set to 2.4 GHz, but they often exceed that and reach 3.4 GHz (turbo).

*

*ubuntu 18

*kernel: 4.15.0-58-generic

*Scaling governor: ondemand

*Scaling driver: acpi-cpufreq

Solved
As Doug Smythies posted in the comments.
First read this file to see what cpu frequencies are available:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

I want to set 2400000Hz (2.4GHz) as my max cpu frequency. I believe the
 same frequency must be set on all CPU's.
for file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq; do echo "2400000" > $file; done

(This action requires root privileges).
The effect should take place immediately.

Promise of 'free college' by Democrats is a campaign gimmick. Voters know it's unrealistic. | Bill Galvano
By Bill Galvano
| Special to the Sun Sentinel |
Most Americans recognize that "free" college is an attractive, but unrealistic, Democratic presidential campaign promise taxpayers cannot afford and is not the answer, writes Florida Senate President Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, in an op-ed.
As 20 Democratic presidential candidates descended on Florida this week promoting far-left socialist mantras like "free" health care and guaranteed minimum income with no work requirements, promises of "free" college took center stage in a platform designed to entice a new generation of voters.
However well-intentioned these goals may be, most Americans recognize "free" college is an attractive, but unrealistic, campaign promise taxpayers cannot afford and is not the answer.
The good news for Florida students is they do not have to rely on election year gimmicks to achieve the American dream. In Florida, the #1 ranked higher education system in the nation for the third consecutive year, according to U.S. News and World Report, is right in their back yards.
Florida students contemplating their future may choose from a wide selection of affordable and quality options to meet their higher education and career goals.
It is by no accident Florida's higher education system is the best in the nation.
[More Opinion] Stop letting influential donors control politicians | Paula Dockery »
While majority credit for our tremendous success undoubtedly lies with our great students, educators, and community leaders; continuous improvement and sustained achievement requires a common vision and purposeful, strategic actions.
I am proud Florida's Legislature has embraced our common vision of excellence and our legislators have worked together — in bipartisan fashion — to secure key policy enhancements and funding commitments, including historic investments in need-based and merit-based student financial aid, all while living within our means and passing an annual balanced budget for our state.
Florida Sen. Bill Galvano, a Republican from Bradenton, is President of the Florida Senate. (Courtesy photo / OSMG)
As the sponsor of Florida's Excellence in Higher Education Act, a priority of former Senate President Joe Negron, and having chaired and served multiple terms on legislative committees entrusted with Florida's education policy and budget, I have been honored to work closely with colleagues on both sides of the political aisle to understand the challenges facing our students and our institutions of higher learning and to evaluate the role of government in addressing those challenges.
In seeking excellence, we have been united in our overarching guiding principles of preserving access and safeguarding affordability for students, regardless of their economic circumstances, while also maximizing the return on investment for students, parents, and the taxpayers who fund our entire education system.
Students do not see a return when they languish in school because they cannot afford to take enough credits to graduate on-time. Taxpayers do not see a return when students graduate with tremendous amounts of debt, delaying their ability to contribute to our economy. Rather, Florida students and Florida taxpayers see a return worthy of their investment when students complete degree programs on-time and graduate with job opportunities in high-demand, well-paying fields needed in our communities.
To help Florida students graduate on-time with less debt, the Legislature has prioritized low tuition rates. In fact, U.S. News and World Report ranks Florida second in the nation for affordability.
[More Opinion] Climate crisis harms our health, the environment — and must be primary focus of 2020 presidential race | Opinion »
Additionally, in 2017 we increased need-based student financial aid by over 80 percent. We also increased merit-based aid by nearly 80 percent, restoring the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship to pre-recession levels.
We expanded the First Generation Matching Grant Program to include community college students and doubled the state match for private donations supporting the program. We also established Benacquisto Scholarships which offers the full cost of attendance to National Merit Scholar award winners here in Florida and across the country.
Additionally, we created the Florida Farmworker Student Scholarship for children of migrant families to earn technical and college credentials.
These historic investments in financial aid are helping students avoid financial insecurities that lead to delays in on-time graduation, ultimately saving our students time and money.
To help link education to job opportunities, we expanded the responsibility of our colleges and universities to identify internship opportunities for students to benefit from industry experts and mentors, earn industry certifications, and become employed in high-demand fields of unmet need.
And, to ensure our graduating high school seniors have a head start, district school boards are required to notify students and parents with accurate and timely information about how college credits generated in high school will apply towards a college degree.
[More Opinion] Local governments, private developers should work together to address effects of climate change | Opinion »
Recognizing some students are seeking to enter their chosen career right after high school, just this week, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation establishing a Career and Technical Education Graduation Pathway as an alternative option for students to earn a standard high school diploma. This legislation recognizes that technological advancements and emerging apprenticeship opportunities are opening new doors for our students to pursue innovative pathways to the traditional careers our communities need to thrive, and also to pioneer exciting new occupations that will help Florida continue to prosper.

Florida is a place where people of all educational, ethnic, and economic backgrounds can succeed in contributing to our diverse and growing economy.
For many Floridians, our universities and community colleges are the key to unlocking their future career path. For others, career and technical education opportunities take root in high school with targeted pathways that lead straight to the stable, sustainable, and high-paying occupations our communities need.
Regardless of their chosen pathway, I hope Florida's students are inspired not by improbable campaign stunts, but by the opportunity for success already here and available to every student, regardless of income or circumstance.

Were you really "driving" when you received DUI charges?
On behalf of Neville & Cunat, LLP posted in drunk driving on Friday, January 12, 2018.
It is not always clear whether or not you are legally safe to be in your vehicle after drinking, even if you do not believe that you are actually "driving" the vehicle. There are a number of factors to consider before you get behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking, even if you simply need to rest for a while and wait for sobriety to return. In some cases, you may face DUI charges without actually operating the vehicle on a road.
Practically speaking, it is strange to think that a person could receive DUI charges if he or she is simply sitting in a vehicle, ostensibly seeking shelter and rest. However, there are numerous examples of individuals who allegedly violate some small portion of DUI law and find themselves unexpectedly facing charges they thought they were intentionally avoiding.
A number of factors may come into play in such a scenario. The suspect in question may not technically be driving the vehicle, but the vehicle may still be in a roadway, creating some liability. Similarly, if the suspect is resting or seeking shelter in the driver's seat rather than a passenger's seat, law enforcement may interpret this positioning unfairly.
It is also important to consider the location to the keys to the vehicle. Criminal charges may hang on this small detail if the keys are in the ignition to the vehicle rather than in a console compartment or even in a suspect's pocket or purse. It is also worth considering whether or not the vehicle itself is operational. A suspect may successfully challenge DUI charges if he or she demonstrates that the vehicle itself is inoperable and could not have actually posed any danger to others.
If you recently received surprising DUI charges for some similar technicality violation, an attorney can help you understand your rights. You may have a number of grounds to fight these charges and keep your rights protected.

LYNCHBURG, VA --- In the most anticipated race of the VA Showcase at Liberty University on Friday, Atlanta Lakeside (GA) High junior Brian Herron took down MGX's Tyrese Cooper of Florida to claim the AAU 300m boys title.
In the process, Herron also set a new American high school record and surpassed Cooper's former World Junior record from the distance last year.
Herron's winning time of 32.64 seconds topped Cooper's old mark of 32.87, which was set last February in New York at the Armory Track Invitational. Eric Allen Jr. of the Bullis School (MD) also beat the previous mark with his runner-up finish of 32.84, while Cooper, who had a poor block start, was third in 33.12 seconds.
Herron, who posted national-best prep times of 20.95 seconds in the 200m in December and 46.43 in the 400m at the Texas A & M High School Classic in January, was seen as a formidable opponent.
However, the heralded Cooper, a junior from Miami Norland (FL) High, has been ranked first nationally in all events between the 200 and 500m, and posted outdoor best times of 20.51 and 45.38 as a sophomore. Herron, running for the Flight400 track club, had not run the 300m in competition over his career and was seeded in the race based on a 400m time.
As expected, Cooper took the early lead, but he started to fall apart in the final 50 meters, as Herron, running from Lane 5, surged ahead and held his form through the line.
Herron and Cooper will face off again in the 500m, where Strymar Livingston's U.S. high school record of 1:01.68 from 2012 could be in jeopardy.


A trek to the Base Camp of Mount Everest, world's highest mountain (8850 m), is high on the wish list of many trekkers. The trail leads alongside the foot of mighty Himalaya giants, towering high above the sky. The views from Kala Pattar of Mt Everest, and many other seven and eight thousand peaks are just unforgettable.
After Namche Bazar you climb above the tree line quite quickly and you find yourself walking in a stunning high altitude landscape. The walk to Everest Base Camp (5364 m) from Gorakhshep should not be missed. You walk on the Khumbu Glaciar, surrounded by snow and ice. The Nuptse is so close it looks like you can touch it. From Everest Base Camp you have a close view of the Khumbu Ice Fall, a huge wall of ice, only one of the big challenges the Everest expeditions face.
Flying in and out of Lukla (2840 m), set already amidst the Himalaya, you need about 2 weeks for the Everest Base Camp trek. The trek described below combines the trek to Everest Base Camp with a visit to the stunning Gokyo Lakes. From Gokyo you cross the Cho La (5420 m), which brings you into the Khumbu Valley in which the Everest Base Camp lies. The stretch between Gokyo and Khumbu is part of the Upper GHT.
The region is dotted with well equipped lodges, run by the friendly Sherpa people.
As with this trek you climb high very quickly, it is important to take acclimatization days, and to be aware of signs of altitude sickness.

Disappointment in equal doses in Galway and Dublin on Sunday as Connacht and Munster failed by a single score to reach the finals of the Parker Pen Challenge Cup and Heineken Cup
Disappointment in equal doses in Galway and Dublin on Sunday as Connacht and Munster failed by a single score to reach the finals of the Parker Pen Challenge Cup and Heineken Cup respectively.
Ironically both sides were in similar positions as the games entered the final quarter. A 57th minute Eric Elwood try converted by Mark McHugh had Connacht 13 points clear on the day and four on aggregate and they held that advantage until the 79th minute when Will Greenwood scored his side's second and decisive try.
It was a disappointing end for the team and their supporters but they can be immensely proud of their exploits this season.
At Lansdowne Road, Jason Holland's conversion of Jim Williams' 61st minute try pushed Munster 10 points clear but they conceded two tries, the second in the 77th minute, to lose by a single score.
In those closing minutes of an epic encounter, Munster were reduced, at one stage to 13 after first Donncha O'Callaghan and then Mike Mullins had been yellow carded. The incident involving O'Callaghan was grossly unfair and came at a crucial stage and although Henderson can have no complaints about his sanction, Munster might claim they should have been awarded a penalty for a stamp on one of their players – under the nose of the touch-judge – in the moments prior.
And those Munster supporters who might blame referee Nigel Williams for his part in their side's departure from the competition are wrong. Williams didn't referee the game. He allowed Lawrence Dallaglio that privilege. The big number 8 intimidated the Welsh official from the start to such an extent that the Wasps captain somehow seemed to talk his way out of receiving a yellow card.
The final try count of 5-2 in Wasps' favour proclaims them deserving winners and there can be little argument with that. However, they were able to impose their game-plan without interference whereas Munster were not. The English side killed ball, fringed offside and obstructed all afternoon and were allowed do so by the match officials. Munster will rue the loss of Ronan O'Gara after just 29 minutes but they will also rue the soft defence that ceded at least two of those five tries.
The one huge positive of the afternoon was the occasion itself which saw the oldest international stadium in the world transformed into a sea of red by the extraordinary phenomenon that is the Munster supporter. They managed to re-create the Thomond Park atmosphere in a stadium four times the size and made this a unique occasion, one that will not be witnessed again.
Until Munster visit again.
It's a pity that such a marvellous occasion, the contribution of the superb Munster support and a brave and courageous Munster team, could not elicit some some degree of graciousness from the Wasps coach Warren Gatland.
"I don't feel anything for Munster, you take your chances and your opportunities in this competition. It's easy for Munster to qualify for the Heineken Cup every year." he said of a side that had contributed to what French star Thomas Castaignede claimed was " perhaps the finest European Cup match ever."

A Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
The best candidates for a Tummy Tuck are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved. Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy.
In your initial consultation, Mr Klein will evaluate your health, determine the extent of fat deposits in your abdominal region, and carefully assess your skin tone. Mr Klein will work with you to recommend the procedure that is right for you and will come closest to producing the desired body contour. Don't hesitate to ask Mr Klein any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results. Mr Klein will explain the procedure in detail, including the risks and limitations, the type of anesthesia that will be used, the type of facility where the surgery will be preformed and the costs involved. Be sure to tell Mr Klein if you smoke, and if you're taking any medications, vitamins, or other drugs. Please be aware that in most cases, health insurance policies do not cover the cost of a Tummy Tuck.
Mr Klein performs Tummy Tucks in an outpatient surgical center or in hospital.
Mr Klein uses general anesthesia for a Tummy Tuck which means you will sleep through the entire operation.
Thousands of Tummy Tucks are performed successfully each year. When done by a qualified plastic surgeon who is trained in body contouring, the results are generally quite positive. Nevertheless, there are always risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure. During your consultation the procedure will be explained in detail, including the risks and limitations.
A complete Tummy Tuck usually takes two to three hours, depending on the extent of the operation. A partial Tummy Tuck may take an hour or two. Most commonly, Mr Klein will make a long incision from hipbone to hipbone, just above the pubic area. A second incision is made to free the tummy button from surrounding tissue. With a partial Tummy Tuck, the incision is shorter and the tummy button may not be moved, although it may be pulled into an unnatural shape as the skin is tightened and stitched. The skin is separated from the abdominal wall all the way up to your ribs and the skin flap is lifted to reveal the vertical muscles in your abdomen. These muscles are tightened by pulling them close together and stitching them into their new position. This provides a firmer abdominal wall and narrows the waistline. The skin flap is then stretched down and the extra skin is removed. A new hole is cut for your tummy button, which is then stitched in place. Finally, the incisions will be stitched, dressings will be applied, and a temporary tube may be inserted to drain excess fluid from the surgical site. In a partial Tummy Tuck, the skin is separated only between the incision line and the navel. This skin flap is stretched down, the excess is removed, and the flap is stitched back into place.
A. An incision just above the pubic area is used to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen.
B. Skin is separated from the abdominal wall all the way up to the ribs.
C. Mr Klein draws underlying muscle and tissue together and stitches them, thereby narrowing the waistline and strengthening the abdominal wall.
D. Abdominal skin is drawn down and excess is removed. With a complete Tummy Tuck, a new opening is cut for the navel. Both incisions are stitched closed.
E. After surgery, the patient has a flatter, trimmer abdomen. Scars are permanent, but will fade with time.
For the first few days, your abdomen will probably be swollen and you're likely to feel some pain and discomfort which can be controlled by medication. Depending on the extent of the surgery, you may be released within a few hours or you may have to remain hospitalised for two to three days. Mr Klein will give you instructions for showering and changing your dressings. And though you may not be able to stand straight at first, you should start walking as soon as possible.
Some people return to work after one week, while others take three or four weeks to rest and recuperate. Exercise will help you heal better. Even people who have never exercised before should begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles. Vigorous exercise, however, should be avoided until you can do it comfortably. Your scars may actually appear to worsen during the first three to six months as they heal, but this is normal. Expect it to take nine months to a year before your scars flatten out and lighten in color. While they'll never disappear completely, abdominal scars will not show under most clothing, even under bathing suits.
A Tummy Tuck, whether partial or complete, produces excellent results for patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin. In most cases, the results are long lasting, if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly.


AMMAN — The Criminal Court prosecutor on Wednesday charged a 34-year-old man with premeditated murder in connection with the stabbing death of his younger married sister for reasons related to family honour, official sources said.
The 32-year-old victim was allegedly stabbed to death by her brother, who worked at a shawarma place, while at her family's home late Tuesday night in an eastern neighbourhood of Amman, a senior official source said.
The suspect then headed to the nearest police station and turned himself in, the senior official source told The Jordan Times, adding that preliminary investigations indicated that "family honour was the motive behind the murder".
In his initial confessions in front of Criminal Court Prosecutor Ishaq Abu Awad, the suspect claimed that "he was suspicious of his sister's behaviour and decided to kill her," the senior judicial source said, adding that "the suspect claimed that he had recently learned of what he considered an old immoral story involving the victim and that he became suspicious of her movements, so he decided to kill her".
On Tuesday night, the suspect went to his family's home where the victim was staying, according to the judicial source, who maintained "when the suspect's father went to pray, he asked his mother to make him coffee then jumped on the victim and stabbed her repeatedly".
The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead on arrival, according to the judicial source.
A postmortem conducted on the victim at the National Institute of Forensics Medicine indicated that the victim dies of multiple stab wounds, a second senior judicial source said, indicating that "the victim received several stab wounds to different parts of her body, which caused an internal bleeding".
The suspect was ordered detained by Abu Awad for 15 days at a correctional and rehabilitation facility pending further investigations.

Preserving The Past
by Mark Healey October 1, 2009
On the field in the new Yankee Stadium this year, several of the team's 102 victories have come in dramatic fashion. For the folks behind the "Save The Gate" movement, the hope is that their fight to save one last piece of the original Yankee Stadium can have a similar outcome.
The fight to preserve Gate 2 — which represents the lone structure from the old stadium that retains most of the original construction in 1923 — has been ongoing for months.
John Trush, 57, of Washington, N.J., is one of the folks behind the movement, and he, along with Mark Costello (and a host of others), appeared on my show back in June to explain their passion for this effort.
According to the Daily News, things are about to come to a head in this fight:
The city Parks Department plans to seek preliminary approval next week for plans to commemorate the stadium at Heritage Field – the future park after the House That Ruth Built meets the wrecking ball. Gate 2 is not in the plans.
"If it gets approved, I think we're through," said John Trush, one of the fans fighting to save the gate.
On Monday, Oct. 5, a special Baseball Digest LIVE program will feature many of the folks who are involved in this battle. Click here for more info.

Saving My Heart
"Saving My Heart" is a song by British rock band Yes, written and produced by Yes guitarist Trevor Rabin. It was the second single released from their 1991 "reunion" album Union, following "Lift Me Up". "Saving My Heart" peaked at number nine on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1991.

BackgroundEdit
The Union album was the result of the merger between Yes (featuring Rabin, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White, and keyboardist Tony Kaye), and Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, featuring 1970s-era Yes members Jon Anderson (vocals), Steve Howe (guitars), Rick Wakeman (keyboards), and Bill Bruford (drums).[1]
"Saving My Heart" was one of the four songs on the album to be written by the Rabin–Squire faction; the others were "Lift Me Up" (the lead-off single), "Miracle of Life", and "The More We Live", a song co-written by future Yes member Billy Sherwood. Three of the four featured Anderson on vocals.[1]
According to Rabin, the song was originally planned as a collaboration with Supertramp vocalist Roger Hodgson.[2] Rabin felt the song, a "pop reggae tune" with a "bluesy guitar solo", did not work as a Yes song, but Anderson disagreed and wanted Yes to perform it.[2]
Chart performanceEdit
"Saving My Heart" reached number nine on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It did not perform as well as "Lift Me Up", the lead single from Union (which topped the chart for six weeks) but outperformed competing Yes single "Make It Easy", a 1981 song released by Yes's old record label, Atlantic Records, to promote the Yesyears boxed set. "Lift Me Up" and "Saving My Heart" were both issued by Arista Records.[3]

It's been a hell of a journey so far in the world of sports media. There's been a lot of ups and downs mixed in, but I'm blessed right now to be doing what I love.
