Vital Records[edit | edit source]
Vital records consist of birth, death, marriage and divorce records. Although Kentucky enacted a statute in 1852-1862 requiring registration of births and deaths,many counties did not comply.

Any existing births 1852-1960 and death records 1852-1953 can be accessed online. See How to Find Kentucky Birth Records and How to Find Kentucky Death Records for links to indexes and images.
Original marriage records are held at the office of the Perry County Clerk, with divorce records 1849-1958 located with the Perry County Circuit Court. For more information see How to Find Kentucky Marriage Records. For Kentucky divorce records see the wiki page Kentucky Vital Records.

Using my drawing commercially: You are welcome to use my designs for small business commercial endeavors. Purchasing this file grants you a royalty-free, non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use the image/graphic for commercial, merchandise, personal, educational or editorial purposes.
*All purchases on the shop include small business licensing and are available for commercial use. Please do not redistribute the digital files under any circumstance.*
Please be aware that these files cut best with projects TEN INCHES or LARGER. I DO NOT recommend using my more intricate/mandala designs for tiny projects—they simply will not cut well and detail will be lost. Thanks!
This is an INSTANT DOWNLOAD FILE that includes SVG and PNG formats. It will be made available for instant download after confirmed payment. If you have any issues with the files please contact me I'll be happy to help.
Upon purchase, you will receive an automated email from Shopify with your download links. This usually works, however, there can be technical issues. In such a case, please contact me. I'm more than happy to get them to you directly.
These files are made with Cricut Design Space in mind (as that is what I use for my own projects), however they are compatible with other programs that use the SVG or PNG file formats, like Silhouette Designer Edition (Please note: SVG files are not compatible with the basic version of Silhouette/Cameo). It is important to also note that my files run on the larger end and that, due to their size, you will need to upload them into cricut design space via the upload feature in the app. Below are a few guides on how to upload/use my files with cricut design space.
My basic guide: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o444rbixnx1mb16/Basic%20Cricut%20Guide.pdf?dl=0
Official Cicut Guides: https://learn.cricut.com/design-space/manuals/
Finally, Please note:
1. All intricate/mandala styled designs in my shop will make for a very difficult cut for most projects under 10 inches. These designs are very detailed and the weeding can be very difficult when dealing with very small cuts.
2. I only work in SVG and PNG formats at the moment.
3. My files are usually around 4500 x 5400 pixels in size (I draw them in this size and it seems to work best for printing and non-cricut projects).
4. All downloads are made available via zip format. Please understand that you will need to extract the designs from the zip file once it is downloaded.
5. Due to the amount of detail I work with when making vectors, not all machines and material settings do well with these designs. Weeding will take time and be more difficult when cutting mandalas with very thin lines. It is your responsibility to know what your machine needs. Thanks!
Please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions!

Do Doctors Lack Empathy?
Posted by Adam Benforado on August 29, 2011
Shortly after I finished Simon Baron-Cohen's new book, The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty, I spoke to one of my friends who had just had an extremely bad interaction with a doctor. The friend had just received a frightening diagnosis and when she went to ask more questions, the doctor was blunt and emotionally-disengaged. As I spoke to the friend, it occurred to me that, while there were some very important exceptions, I'd actually had a lot of similar experiences with doctors. Might it be true that doctors have less empathy than other people?
Coincidentally, with the help of the gnomes of the World Wide Web, I found an interesting recent article by Omar Sultan Haque and Adam Waytz in Scientific American, which describes two experiments by Jean Decety and his collaborators at the University of Chicago that shed a bit of light on the answer:
In one experiment, physicians who practice acupuncture (as well as matched non-physician controls) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while watching videos of needles being inserted into another person's hands, feet and areas around their mouth as well as videos of the same areas being touched by a cotton bud. Compared to controls, the physicians showed significantly less response in brain regions involved in empathy for pain. In addition, the physicians showed significantly greater activation of areas involved in executive control, self-regulation and thinking about the mental states of others. The physicians appeared to show less empathy and more of a higher-level cognitive response.
This finding raised a further question. Perceiving pain in others typically involves two steps. First people engage in the emotional sharing of pain with another person, and then they make a cognitive appraisal of the emotion. Do physicians automatically feel empathy for the pain of others, but then quickly suppress it? Or is the cognitive suppression of empathy even deeper; has it become more automatic? Is it possible that the physicians no longer even experience the first step of empathy for pain that regular people show on their brain scans?
The investigators repeated the same experiment but rather than looking for changes in brain blood-flow by using fMRI, they assessed the brain's event-related potentials (ERP). Results showed that when viewing the painful needle sticking, the physicians did not even show the early empathy response. The physicians had apparently become so good at empathy suppression that there was no early response to worry about.
Why might these effects exist? It could be that, compared to other professions, the people that gravitate to healthcare tend to be less empathic. This seems unlikely. Furthermore, studies of physicians show that they are often the most empathic and caring towards the beginning of medical school, and that they become steadily less empathetic with more clinical training. The more likely culprits are therefore the nature of medical training and the intrinsic demands of the profession.

My guess is that medical professionals, in general, maintain a high level of empathy, but have developed a mental mechanism to be able to maintain focus and perform painful but necessary procedures.
September 1, 2011 at 6:25 pm
May I suggest a further resource to learn more about empathy and compassion.
The Center for Building a Culture of Empathy
The Culture of Empathy website is the largest internet portal for resources and information about the values of empathy and compassion. It contains articles, conferences, definitions, experts, history, interviews, videos, science and much more about empathy and compassion.
September 4, 2011 at 8:25 pm
It should be noted that Jean Decety is male. Doesn't take much more than a Google search to figure that out.

Matthew T. Mangino: As pardons slow to a trickle, second chances rare
Just a week before Christmas, President Barack Obama's decision to exercise his rarely used authority to forgive was indeed a surprise. The president issued 13 pardons representing a quarter of all pardons granted during his five years in office.
One of those who received mercy was the first cousin of Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. In 1994, Reynolds Allen Wintersmith Jr., of Rockford, Ill., was given a life sentence on charges of dealing crack cocaine. No one is suggesting that Patrick used his influence to get his cousin a pardon. He had no involvement in Wintersmith's application for clemency.
However, what is of concern is that a member of Patrick's family could benefit by an act of executive clemency and still as governor of Massachusetts, Patrick refuses to pardon a single individual. He is not alone in his disdain or disregard for clemency. In fact, even as Obama pardoned 13 offenders he has been as stingy as any president when it comes to forgiveness.
American presidents are empowered by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, "to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States."
A ProPublica analysis of Justice Department statistics last November found that Obama had granted pardons at a lower rate than presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton or George W. Bush had at the same point in their administrations.
Obama has pardoned only 52 people. President Harry S. Truman pardoned 1,537 people. In fact, Truman pardoned his first prisoner eight days after taking office -- an office he assumed by the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, not through an election. In contrast, according to the New York Times, Obama waited 682 days into his presidency before using his power.
Obama is not to be blamed for clemency falling out of vogue. The demise of the pardon is a byproduct of being "tough on crime." Draconian sentencing laws driven by the war on drugs, prisons bursting at the seams, and a never-ending parade of new laws criminalizing everything imaginable are also evidence of a system run amok.
Obama is not the only executive throttling clemency.
On the last day of 2013, and for the first time in his three years in office, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued pardons to three people who had completed their sentences. Advocates and editorial boards have, for his entire governorship, pressured Cuomo to exercise his power to pardon.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker hasn't granted a single pardon since taking office. His office says he has no immediate plans to use his clemency authority. Recent governors from both parties have pardoned hundreds of offenders. A Walker spokesperson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the governor "believes these decisions are best left up to the courts."
Michael Albano, a member of Massachusetts' Governor's Council, wants to see more clemency, "It is my hope this act of clemency by the president will lead Gov. Patrick to rethink his position on pardons and take similar action in Massachusetts." The last pardon in Massachusetts was made by Gov. Jane Swift, who left office in 2003.
New York, Massachusetts and Wisconsin have traditionally been more progressive than other states. The reluctance of these three governors to act may be a harbinger of things to come, and that is unfortunate.
The corrective power of the pardon, when used in a principled and honorable fashion, has the capacity to redeem the authority of the justice system and instill an element of compassion in an otherwise impersonal, callous and mechanical system.
Avoiding that fundamental executive responsibility out of a fear of the political consequences is a failure in leadership and a growing injustice.

Milwaukee woman has massive collection of '90s bands, baseball memorabilia
If you were around in the late 1980s or early 1990s you probably heard their music or maybe you had the boy band's posters or bed sheets.
WISN 12 News Patrick Paolantonio met a Milwaukee woman who has all that and a lot more.
"Here is the board game, and I had to set the stage up. It's just too fun," Candis Vlasek said.
Vlasek has been hooked on New Kids on the Block ever since she swiped a cassette tape from her cousin in 1990. The 28-year-old is not only a big fan, she's a big collector.
"Duffel bags, sleeping bag, comforter, sheets, pillow case, obviously T-shirts," Vlasek said.
Plus, a box of unopened trading cards, dolls, a hat and jackets.
"You name it, I probably have it," Vlasek said.
She even has pictures from her meet and greets with the guys.
"I just love to collect things that I love," Vlasek said.
New Kids on the Block isn't her only collection.
"This is One Direction duct tape," she said.
The duct tape is a new addition to her collection for the band One Direction. And then there's baseball.
"These are my Milwaukee Brewers high heels. They are signed by many of the players," Vlasek said.
The shoes belong to her Brewers collection.
"This is my 'N Sync board game," she said as she showed Paolantonio.
'N Sync is represented, and so is another group that hit it big in the 1990s.
"And then Hanson is my biggest collection," she said.
She started buying New Kids memorabilia a decade ago. The memories go back even farther.
"I was 5 obviously when I became a fan, so it was like, when I do listen to it, I do get a little sentimental. It's just exciting," Vlasek said.
She's excited to see New Kids on the Block Tuesday night at Summerfest.
Between concerts, meet and greets, travel and memorabilia, Vlasek said she's probably spent about $5,000 or $6,000 on New Kids on the Block.
She won't meet them Tuesday night, but she will meet one of their opening acts, 98 Degrees -- a birthday present from her sister.

Yes it is! Guess it's not as old as I thought.
- The Rumor:
- Was it this one? Because that's new. :]
- Quote
- Thank you to everyone that shared their favourite memories of Danger Days. We received over 3,000 entries! Congrats to PuresaPoison who will receive a Epiphone Phant-o-matic guitar designed by Frank and signed by MCR. Read their favourite memory below:
I'm going to keep this short for you, I'm guessing you'll have to go through hundreds of stories, and I really don't want you to waste a lot of time.
I don't have this grandious story, but it's beautiful to me.
So I don't see my dad very often, so when I do, I make the most of it.
My dad was driving me home from school, radio on low and sun falling behind the rolling mountains.
I begin to hear the first notes to The Kids From Yesterday. Me being the weirdo I am dive towards the nob and begin to blast the song.
Singing and dancing in my seat.
My dad looks over to me and smiles.
It was one of those small smiles. The ones where you feel so greatfull to have something you love there with you.
So he smiles and turns up the volume even more. He chimes in with me, which totally throws me off.
He looks over to me again and smirks. For some reason, he knew why I was confused.
"You play this song on your bass all the time," He laughs and starts to harmonize with Gerard's voice.
I grin and roll down the windows.
We speed off into the sunset. Just us two, no one there to spoil it. And now whenever I hear that song, I think of him, and what he might be doing. And when I ride down that street, I have to sing that song.
My dad is a kid from yesterday.
On day I'll be too.
We'll live forever in the lights we make because we are the kids from yesterday
Cheesy I know, but true.
Thank you so much, from me and my dad. -PuresaPoison
That just made my whole day. Yeah, my sister knew Ray as Torosaurus before she knew him as Ray. She learned Mikey's name first though
- The Rumor:
- Uncle Jiggy, The Wheeze, Torosaurus and F. Lero all have a much better ring to them. ;]

LANDOVER, Md. — There was the fumble by Robert Griffin III that turned into a Washington Redskins touchdown. There was the fumble by teammate Alfred Morris that led to a melee of leg-pulling followed by a kick to the midsection and something dangerously close to a stomp.
The quartet of flawed teams that make up the NFC East sure do make things interesting.
The division title that seemingly belonged to the New York Giants is up for grabs after their 17-16 loss Monday night, Dec. 3, to the Redskins, who are back in the running thanks to a rookie quarterback and a three-game winning streak.
"We had an opportunity here today," New York coach Tom Coughlin said. "But now there's one team with seven and two teams with six wins. There's four games to go."
That about sums it up.
Now that the Giants (7-5) have lost three of four, the Redskins (6-6) and Cowboys (6-6) are squarely in the hunt despite mediocre records. Washington has dispatched each of its division rivals — Philadelphia, Dallas and now New York — one by one over the last three weeks to recover from a 3-6 start that prompted coach Mike Shanahan to talk about evaluating players for future seasons.
"We know that our backs are against the wall," said Griffin, whose Redskins host Dallas in what they hope will be a meaningful season finale. "And even though we won tonight, our backs are still against the wall."
It'll be hard to count the Redskins out as long as Griffin is on the field. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 163 yards and a go-ahead, 8-yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon in the fourth quarter to finish with a 101.9 passer rating. He also ran for 72 yards to get to 714 for the season, breaking Cam Newton's NFL record for a rookie quarterback.
It was his sixth game with a 100-plus passer rating, his eighth without an interception — and his second in which one of his fumbles turned into a Redskins score.
On the way to the turf after a 12-yard run, Griffin was stripped by Stevie Brown — but the ball flew right to teammate Joshua Morgan 3 yards upfield. Morgan then ran 13 yards for a first-quarter touchdown no one would ever diagram on a whiteboard.
"We didn't run it in practice because we wanted to save it for the game," Griffin said with a grin. "I knew he was going to be there for it. … Joshua did a good job being in the spot where he was supposed to be."
The game's other fumble was just as chaotic — and a little scary. After Morris was stripped during a third-quarter run, New York defensive tackle Linval Joseph yanked at Redskins center Will Montgomery's leg while players were fighting for the ball in the pile.
Montgomery kicked out in response, a swipe that Joseph said hit him in the groin.
"I was just trying to get my leg loose," Montgomery said.
Joseph then stomped at Montgomery, appearing to pull back at the last second but still making contact.
"It took me everything not to kick him back because I didn't want hurt the team, and I didn't want to get fined and none of that," Joseph said. "I started, then I stopped."
Joseph and a Redskins player were whistled for offsetting unnecessary roughness penalties.
Morris finished with 124 yards, reaching 1,106 for the season to break Reggie Brooks' franchise rookie rushing record of 1,063, set in 1993. Garcon caught eight passes for 106 yards, showing no signs of the painful toe injury that forced him to miss six of the season's first nine games.
Eli Manning completed 20 of 33 passes for 280 yards and a touchdown, and Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 103 yards on 24 carries for the Giants. Victor Cruz, who caught the game-winning score when the teams met in the Meadowlands in October, had five catches for 104 yards.
The Giants moved the ball well, but they only managed three field goals by Lawrence Tynes and one touchdown — Manning's 4-yard pass to Martellus Bennett late in the second quarter.
Tynes also missed a 43-yard field goal, and the Giants were uncharacteristically penalty-prone, getting flagged nine times for 73 yards. New York led 13-10 at the half, but scored only three more points.
"This is not real complicated. I don't know what happened in the second half," Coughlin said. "We certainly didn't come out and play. Penalties. Sloppy football."

Sitting at the bar in Portland's Ace Hotel last summer, sipping a tart Negroni cocktail — barrel-aged for added flavor and novelty — while nibbling a circular sliver of pork head roulade presented as a bite-size bar snack, I pondered how it could have taken me so long to make my first visit here.
I was at the tail end of five days of gorging, imbibing and highly caffeinating my way through Oregon's trendy riverfront city, the wonderland of craft cocktails, pour-over coffees and competitive burlesque that has practically become synonymous with the word "hipster."
Portland's over-the-top organic-obsessed aesthetic is lovingly skewered on the hit IFC comedy "Portlandia," in a depiction that I found not so far from what the city's like in real life. And as a craft-cocktail-and-coffee-loving East Coaster myself, I was happy to embrace it.
But I also found myself wondering something else while daydreaming at the Ace that afternoon: Where was the old Portland? This is, after all, a frontier logging town and shipbuilding port city with half a million residents. Surely there must be something to see here that predates Portlandia?
On the advice of several locals, I took my search for pre-hipster Portland north of downtown, riding the light rail to the North Denver Avenue stop, where I was immediately greeted by a 31-foot-tall concrete-and-metal statue of logging legend Paul Bunyan. The bearded, plaid-clad likeness was erected not, as I'd first suspected, by modern irony-loving Portlanders but with absolute earnestness for the 1959 Portland Centennial Exposition.
From there I walked over to the St. Johns neighborhood, which, like several other far-north parts of Portland, is centered on its own distinctive "downtown" strip, one of the remnants of the small towns that were annexed by this growing city in the early 20th century.
St. Johns became part of Portland in 1915 and today perhaps best epitomizes the city's mix of old and new. Many of the very vintage establishments here might be mistaken for imitation retro outposts in another part of town, but most of them are in fact family-owned spots that are actually many decades old.
At Pattie's Home Plate Cafe, an eccentric mix of diner/costume shop/toy store, you can dig into a hefty slice of coconut cream pie while shopping for vintage Barbie dolls, then browse for outfits to wear to the upcoming Saturday sock hop. The neighboring 73-year-old Lion's Den Man's Shop is a classic haberdashery that used that word long before it became cool, a place where button-up vests and pinstripe fedoras haven't come back into style because they never went out of it.
Down the road, Tulip Pastry Shop is a pint-size storefront covered in classic-car memorabilia. Though the goods here may not be as eye-catching as the bacon-and-Cap'n-Crunch-topped items at downtown's much-hyped Voodoo Doughnut, I was more than happy to settle for a 75-cent fritter piped full of marionberries — a supremely juicy strain of blackberries cultivated in Oregon and sought after by locals every summer.
By this time, the rain had started to pour down, but after nearly a week in Portland, I'd learned that you can't let that stop you, and like the locals I soldiered on, sans umbrella.
After a wet walk through majestic Cathedral Park, a grassy expanse named for the Gothic-like arched towers that line the base of the St. Johns suspension bridge that cuts through it,I found a stool to dry off on at Port Way Tavern. This is a decidedly old-school establishment where the regular crowd is heavy on longshoremen, the bar top displays about 200 beer tap handles, and you can extract a handful of pistachios from the quarter machines. For all the city's downscale charm, I'd also learned that you won't often be served a downscale beer in Portland; even here I was glad to find a citrusy Red Chair NW Pale Ale (made in nearby Bend) on tap for $4.25 a pint.
A little less than a year later, I returned to Portland this summer with my new girlfriend, who was receiving an award from her alma mater, the University of Portland, which is just a neighborhood over from St. Johns. (Holly and I met in Brooklyn; our mutual affection for North Portland neighborhoods was purely coincidental.) Rather than holing up downtown at the Ace or another hip hotel, we found a $60 room on Airbnb in a private home in St. Johns.
To be sure, even this far-flung neighborhood is ever-so-slightly gentrifying. Last summer, the Baowry, a food cart turned brick-and-mortar restaurant serving trendy Chinese-Vietnamese fare, took over a rundown building that both Holly and our host, Jay, recalled as having once been "less than reputable." But it doesn't stand out or change the character of the neighborhood, tucked as it is into a single-family home on a side street. What did stand out was the bold flavor of the savory noodles served with bacon and mussels in a sizzling house-made broth.
A few blocks away, the 1904 Central Hotel is also in the middle of a facelift, with a trio of locals reviving the dilapidated building, once a hub of St. Johns's booming downtown but in more recent years known as the neighborhood's seediest tavern.
"From what I understand, it was quite the place in World War II, because the shipyards were here — it had a notorious reputation, as far as working women were concerned," says Risa Boyd Davis, one of the partners behind the project. "Before we took it over, it was kind of where the worst of the worst hung out — heroin, meth addicts, drug deals in the bathroom, all kinds of things going on. My husband and I kept walking by and saying, 'Somebody needs to do something with that building!' "
Davis and her partners plan to reopen the Central in 2014 as a boutique hotel, one they hope will retain the neighborhood's existing character. "St. Johns, out of all the neighborhoods in Portland, has kept its own personality throughout its entire existence," says Davis.
For now, Davis and her partners have reopened the hotel's ground-floor nightspot, centered on a 60-foot-long 1930s mahogany bar, where giant blocks of ice and a manual juicer now contribute to $7 cocktails, such as a lemon, gin and ginger beer "gin buck." While the place is hardly renovated yet — stained-glass Tiffany lamps mingle with a musty floral carpet — there's something appealing about sipping a classic cocktail in this type of laid-back environment, which is probably closer to what a pre-Prohibition-era bar was actually like than all those hip new joints with million-dollar faux-retro designs.
Of course, some old-timers are resistant to the new businesses coming in. Davis recalls an older woman knocking on the window and asking whether the hotel's new owners were from St. Johns. When Davis told her that she had been living in the neighborhood for six years at that point, she was met with, "Oh, honey, you're not from St. Johns."
Yet Davis isn't worried that the neighborhood will lose its charm. "All the young people moving in also have that independent streak," she says. "Even though they're starting to build synergy around it being a hip new place to hang out, it's still unique. I think it will keep the independence."
It's that independence that makes St. Johns, with its mix of retro cool and just plain retro, feel more authentic than hipper parts of Portland, and a must-visit for those seeking a view of Portland beyond Portlandia.

Airports target layover horror with new luxuries
CHICAGO - Getting stranded at an airport once meant enduring hours of boredom in a kind of travel purgatory with nothing to eat but fast food. These days, it can seem more like passing through the gates of Shangri-la to find spas, yoga studios, luxury shopping and restaurant menus crafted by celebrity chefs in terminals with sleek design.
Stung by airline bankruptcies and mergers, more U.S. airports are hunting for alternative revenue streams by hiring top design firms to transform once chaotic and dreary way stations into places of Zen-like tranquility and luxury where people actually want to get stuck - and spend money. As the holiday travel season is in full gear, airports are putting what one designer calls "terminal bliss" on display.
"It's classy, it's very classy. ... It makes you feel good about the layover," said Marty Rapp, 70, who was getting rosy cheeked last week with the help of a large glass of merlot under ice-crystal chandeliers at Chicago-O'Hare's Ice Bar, whose white and softly reflective decor gives the feeling of being secluded in an igloo.
Airport redesign has been accelerating in the U.S. over the past 10 years, fueled by a combination of things like an airline industry beset by bankruptcies and consolidation that is less able to shoulder as much of the operating costs for city-owned airports through landing fees and gate rental. More revenue from better retail and dining helps make up the shortfall.
At the same time, travelers are becoming savvier and want more than just to get from A to B. The airport has become almost a destination in its own right, a place worthy of stopping off for a while for a little shopping or pampering.
"There's the ability to go swimming at some airports, there's the ability to actually perfect your golf swing at some airports, there is the ability to - it's not just getting a quick massage on your shoulders - it's almost really going to a spa in some cases," said Bill Hooper, an architect at global design firm Gensler, which has transformed airport terminals, including San Francisco's Terminal 2, whose abundant natural light, art installations and cool club feel set a new benchmark for contemporary airport design.
The United States and Canada still lag behind Europe and Asia when it comes to the number of airports that are architectural gems and the array of unique offerings. Stockholm's Arlanda Airport has a wedding package where couples can tie the knot in the control tower balcony. And Seoul's Incheon International Airport is building a six-level terminal that will include a soaring glass-paneled ceiling giving passengers the feeling they are passing through a terrarium-like wonderland, complete with babbling brook, tropical plants and butterflies.
But American airports are catching up. Space-age-looking redevelopment at Denver International Airport slated to be finished by 2015 includes a Westin hotel and conference center with a rooftop pool and views of the Rockies. With an outdoor plaza for events and a fast new rail line, the airport hopes to be seen as an extension of downtown, about 23 miles away.
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport opened a nearly mile-long walking path over mosaic floor art inside Terminal D in April. There are two optional cardio step courses leading up 55-foot high staircases, and the path ends up at a free yoga studio, where barefoot travelers with a view of taxiing aircraft can stretch behind light-diffusing screens.
In a sense, airports have taken some of the members-only airline club lounge experience and opened it up for all.
"They're actually trying to create the same sort of sanctuary concept for the more casual traveler," Hooper said.
Business travelers in particular are catching on and actually choosing which airport they want to spend their layover in based on the offerings.
"Montreal (airport) has a smoked meat place ... that if I'm booking travel and I need to go back on the East Coast, sometimes I'll say, 'Can you get me to Montreal for an hour layover so I can have a smoked beef sandwich?'?" said Wil Marchant, 40, who works for a financial services firm in Winnipeg.
The transformation is paying off.
Concessions revenue from food, beverage, retail and services at U.S. airports hit $1.5 billion in 2011, up 12 percent from the year before, according to Airports Council International-North America, which represents the vast majority of governing bodies that own and operate commercial airports.
The new business model has helped airports like San Francisco International, which finished a major refurbishment of Terminal 2 in April 2011 with the firm Gensler. The design is sleek, super modern and playful, with children and adults spinning in comfy swivel chairs around coffee tables placed at every gate. Check-in desks - imposingly high at some airports - were lowered to look more like hotel concierge desks.
"What we were aiming for is a four- or five-star hotel experience for passengers in the terminal building," said airport Director John L. Martin.
The average spent per passenger at the terminal is now about $14. That's 22 percent more than domestic travelers spend at the airport's other terminals.
At O'Hare, where once there was little more than hot dogs and souvenir shops, domestic terminals are now dotted with restaurants led by celebrity chefs like Rick Bayless, piano bars, and a tranquil aeroponic herb garden - a mini forest of green on a quiet mezzanine level.
"It's pretty amazing. ... I didn't expect that to be here," said grad student David Janesko, 30, reading a book in a comfy lounge chair beside the garden on his way to see family in Pittsburgh.

Despite the growth of "NoSQL" databases over the past few years, SQL
is going nowhere isn't going anywhere. In fact, it seems Structured Query Language is in ascendance in a realm that once seemed bent on excluding it: "Big Data."
At the recent Hadoop Summit, among all of the announcements of new products and partnerships around "big data" analytics, one of the surprising trends was the apparent resurgence of a technology that has been around for decades. Many of the announcements coming from companies at the Summit centered on using SQL as the primary interface for Big Data analytics.
"It looks as if there's not a Hadoop-related vendor here who isn't promoting an SQL solution," said Paco Nathan, former director of data science at Concurrent and now Chief Scientist at Mesosphere, a speaker at Hadoop Summit. "And a few of them sound too good to be true."
Built on Hadoop
Hadoop is the open source batch-processing storage and analysis engine based on research papers published by Google about its MapReduce and Google File System technology. It's the underlying technology behind many "big data" analysis tools being used to sift through huge volumes of information created by Web visits, server logs, and all other sorts of data streams. Facebook, for example, has over 30 petabytes of data in Hadoop clusters, and it created the Hive query front-end for Hadoop (which is now an Apache open-source project). The NSA's Accumulo database, used by the agency to do real-time analysis of intelligence data, is also built on top of Hadoop.
But Hadoop can be a challenging system to learn, since it requires that users understand both its problem solving strategy, called MapReduce, and a programming language that supports MapReduce tasks. MapReduce uses batches of parallel processing jobs to sort through large volumes of data. SQL, on the other hand, is used with nearly every relational database system and huge numbers of people who know how to use it effectively to mine and analyze data. While the Facebook-created Hive provides an SQL-like front-end for Hadoop, it neither implements full SQL semantics nor is it particularly fast—since it simply translates queries into batch-processed MapReduce jobs for Hadoop.
Over the past six months, vendors have responded to the demand for more corporate-friendly analytics by announcing a slew of systems that offer full SQL query capabilities with significant performance improvements over existing Hive/Hadoop systems. These systems are designed to allow full SQL queries over warehouse-size data sets, and in most cases they bypass Hadoop entirely (although some are hybrid approaches). Allowing much faster SQL queries at scale makes big data analytics accessible by many more people in the enterprise and fits in with existing workflows.
Here's a sampling of some of the SQL-for-Big Data initiatives underway:
- Facebook's Presto, a real-time query engine that provides a direct SQL interface to Facebook's Hadoop data warehouse. Facebook plans on releasing Presto as an open-source project this fall.
- Amazon Web Services' RedShift. The service provides an SQL-based data warehouse service that can handle queries against databases of up to 1.6 petabytes.
- HortonWorks' Stinger initiative, an effort to improve the SQL interface of Hive and make Hive 100 times faster.
- IBM's BigSQL, an SQL query engine for Hadoop. BigSQL bypasses MapReduce and runs against the Hadoop Distributed File System for read-only queries and HBase (the Hadoop database engine) for transactional queries that perform reads and writes of data.
- EMC's HAWQ, an SQL query engine for the company's Pivotal HD version of Hadoop.
- Cloudera's Impala, a real-time ad-hoc query interface to Hadoop introduced last October.
There are also upcoming changes to Hadoop itself that will make SQL queries of Hadoop data easier. Hadoop 2.0, which will be released later this year, replaces the MapReduce code in Hadoop with a modular architecture called YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) that permits multiple analysis systems to co-exist with MapReduce.

Ask Marilyn: Are Humans Evolving or Not?
William Lafleur of Sunderland, Vermont, writes:
Marilyn: In response to a reader's question about whether humans were still evolving, you answered, "Probably not. Our cultural practices have mostly arrested the kind of change that came from survival of the fittest." (December 12, 2012) In response to a question about bedbugs, you stated, "Living things evolve and disappear; environments are transformed. In short, nature is all about change." (January 13, 2013)
So, are humans an exception to the rule? I don't believe so. Evolution is inexorable. Our cultural practices may influence the direction and speed that evolution affects us (and other life on earth), but it does not stop the process itself. The principle driving forces behind evolution—mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift—are beyond our control. We may impact them to a small degree because we can, to some extent, modify our environment, but we cannot suppress or contain them.
Marilyn responds:
Thank you for pointing this out! I shouldn't have replied so broadly about human evolution. That wasn't my intent. Evolution is undoubtedly inexorable, as you say. What I intended to convey was limited to the second sentence—that I believe the kind of change that comes from "survival of the fittest," meaning better equipped for life (not just reproductive success), is diminishing.

I just recently sent you and email stating the folling…

quote:

Hello. I have been following the OpenGL ES, OpenML and OpenMAX for
some time now. I am currently working on a software implementation of
OpenGL ES which I plan to distribute freely. Next I plan to implement
OpenML. Currently, I'm targeting Windows CE / Pocket PC, Palm, and
Symbian. My future plans are to create a version for the new Nintendo
DS platform.
I have a couple of strong suggestions to make.
The OpenMAX model seems to completely ignore networking,
specifically wireless networking API's. The next generation mobile
devices, (phones, pda's, media stations and gaming platforms are all
incorporating wireless technologies like Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g. I
strongly urge the Khronos group to include support for wireless
technologies into the OpenMAX. I also intend to be one of it's first
Also ignored is cross platform support for Input devices (stylus,
keypads, directional pads, and buttons). Please include this in your
Open MAX, or even a seperate OpenIL library.
Best Reguards.
Eugene Adams
Software Developer
Invisible Labs
I cannot stress the importance of cross platform networking. Imagine, someone using a symbain phone be able to play against another user on a windows mobile device over bluetooth. Not to mention that the 3 biggest portable gaming competitors N-GAGE, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP will all be incorporating wireless technologies in one form or another.
Oh yeah… another suggestion I forgot to mention was a OpenUI which should also be included in the OpenMAX specs. OpenUI would be a simple game menu API which could easily be extended.

The Deadly Disgrace of Obama's Pro-Terrorist Lawyers
by Michelle Malkin
Copyright 2012
Today, October 12, marks the 12th anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole. The grim milestone comes as President Obama faces mounting questions about his administration's dereliction of duty during the murderous attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. And it comes just a day after resurgent al-Qaida thugs pulled off the drive-by assassination of a top Yemeni security official who worked at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa.
These are not "bumps in the road." These are gravesites on the blood-spattered path to surrender.
Seventeen U.S. sailors died in the brutal suicide attack on the guided Navy missile destroyer as it refueled at the Yemeni port of Aden in the fall of 2000. Then-President Bill Clinton vowed to track down the Muslim terrorist attackers: "We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable." But a dozen disgraceful years later, Slick Willy's toothless promise has become a bitter punch line.
The current Democratic White House has not only delayed and denied justice to the victims and their families. President Obama's foot-dragging administration, crawling with pro-terrorist lawyers, effectively undermines our nation's ability to detain, contain and destroy jihad threats from within and without.
Suspected Cole bombing suspect and former Persian Gulf Operations Chief for al-Qaida Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri has been in U.S. custody since 2002 and at Gitmo since 2006. In February 2009, Obama met with Cole families and promised them justice. Then, he stabbed them in the back by ordering the (Social) Justice Department to abandon the death penalty case assembled against the al-Qaida mastermind under the Bush administration.
That's right: The Osama bin Laden football-spikers in the Obama administration deliberately dropped the USS Cole ball on al-Nashiri's military prosecution because of their opposition to the Guantanamo Bay detention system. Jesse Nieto, father of murdered Cole sailor Marc Nieto, won't forget it. "That really left a bitter, bad taste in my mouth," he told the Newnan (Ga.) Times-Herald earlier this year.
In 2011, the Obama administration reinstated the charges amid a widespread backlash against Attorney General Eric Holder's plans to bestow U.S. civilian trials in Manhattan to foreign Gitmo goons.
But the trial has been plagued by yet more delays and left-wing lawyer antics painting Nashiri as a victim of American hegemony. "This whole trial is a political football the politicians are playing with," Nieto aptly noted. "If they left it to the military, it would be taken care of. And it would be fair."
Team Obama's initial withdrawal from the prosecution came out of left field — literally. But it is no surprise to those who paid attention to Holder's radical ideological and corporate allegiances.
As I reported in "Culture of Corruption," Holder joined the prestigious Covington and Burling business and corporate law firm after a quarter-century as a government lawyer. The stint boosted his net worth to nearly $6 million. Covington and Burling's post-9/11 claim to fame? Representing 17 terror suspects held at Gitmo who hail from Yemen, long a safe haven for terrorists. (Another Cole bombing mastermind, Jamal Mohammed al Badawi, was convicted and sentenced to die in Yemen for the terror attack, but somehow escaped twice from jail and was freed by the Yemeni government in 2007.)
Holder's law firm employed dozens of radical attorneys such as David Remes and Marc Falkoff to provide the enemy combatants with more than 3,000 hours of pro bono representation. Covington and Burling secured victories for several Gitmo enemy combatants in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Remes, who garnered human rights awards for Covington and Burling before striking out on his own, now represents Nashiri.
Falkoff went on to publish a book of poetry, "Poems from Guantanamo: The Detainees Speak," which he dedicated to the suspected terrorists: "For my friends inside the wire, Mahmoad, Majid, Yasein, Saeed, Abdulsalam, Mohammed, Adnan, Jamal, Othman, Adil, Mohamed, Abdulmalik, Areef, Adeq, Farouk, Salman, and Makhtar. Inshallah, we will next meet over coffee in your homes in Yemen."
One of the class of Yemeni Gitmo detainees that Falkoff described as "gentle, thoughtful young men" was released in 2005 — only to blow himself up (gently and thoughtfully, of course) in a truck bombing in Mosul, Iraq, in 2008, killing 13 soldiers from the 2nd Iraqi Army division and seriously wounding 42 others.
In January 2010, The Times of London reported that "at least a dozen former Guantanamo Bay inmates (had) rejoined al-Qaida to fight in Yemen." Another Yemeni Gitmo recidivist and top al-Qaida leader, Said al-Shihri, was freed after undergoing "rehabilitation" — and then promptly rejoined jihadi forces. He was reportedly killed in a U.S. missile strike last month.
In February 2010, GOP Sen. Charles Grassley forced Holder to acknowledge that at least nine DOJ attorneys officially represented or served as advocates for Gitmo detainees before joining the Obama administration. They work in the offices of the attorney general, the acting deputy attorney general, the associate attorney general, and the assistant attorney general for the criminal division. In addition, the assistant attorney general for the civil division previously represented one Afghan detainee, and his former employer represents other detainees.
Gitmo recidivists — a burgeoning Obama demographic that includes suspected Benghazi jihad plotter Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda bin Qumu — certainly are better off than they were four years ago.
The question is: Can Americans at home and abroad really afford another four years of Obama, Holder and their soft-on-terror government attorneys sabotaging national security?
