Sacramento Press / Group behind 'urban farm stand' to celebrate fifth year:
"A local non-profit organization that purveys fresh produce in some of the city’s underserved neighborhoods is hosting a celebration this Thursday Nov.7, marking their fifth anniversary serving the community.
Alchemist Community Development Corporation is the group behind the “urban farm stand” idea – selling fresh, farmer’s market-style fruits and vegetables in areas like Alkali Flat and Oak Park. The event, which is open to the public, will be held at the Beatnik Studios near the city’s Tower district and will include live music and food from some of Sacramento’s top restaurants."

Preparing children to learn in a classroom setting starts at home.
That is the belief of organizers behind Americorps' HIPPY program. HIPPY stands for Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters.
In order to further that belief, organizers conduct home visits with hundreds of families participating in the program. They take with them school supplies to give to the 3 and 4 year old children, who will hopefully use them to help prepare them for preschool and kindergarten.
But in order to hand out the glue sticks, crayons, and scissors, organizers need to have them on hand. Unfortunately, the supplies are running low." Sphere: Related Content

Turn It Up: Dhani Harrison: The son of Beatle George describes how he learned to embrace the music and Thenewno2
"There was a bit of disconnect between the sleepy debut album by Dhani Harrison’s band Thenewno2, “You are Here” (Vagrant), and the galvanizing performance the band put on last summer at Lollapalooza in Grant Park. The album was slow-moving and introspective, tinged by psychedelic textures and electro rhythms, while Harrison’s vocals suggested the unhurried cadences of his late father, the Beatles’ George Harrison. At Grant Park, however, the sound morphed into a forceful, Technicolor swirl that rocked beneath the noon-day sun." Sphere: Related Content

"Striking visuals are an essential element of a Flaming Lips show. But their visuals are rarely as eye-popping as the apparition that crashed the Playstation/Billboard.com Stage during the Lips’ Sunday night set: A stark naked woman.
She emerged from the two dozen fan club members recruited to dance on stage in what was either white mice, abominable snowmen or polar bear costumes. Something about the moment and music – specifically “Silver Trembling Hands,” with its line about “when she gets high” -- compelled her to take it off and bum-rush Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. He rolled with it until a member of the band’s crew finally corralled her and ushered her away."
"If the Butthole Surfers represent the dark side of a psychedelic experience – they screen such stomach-churning videos as up-close eyeball surgery – the Flaming Lips are a much happier trip. They deployed dozens of orange and yellow beach balls, clouds of confetti and the aforementioned dancing critters." Sphere: Related Content

"Audience members are uncovering new independent online stations every day. They find one and then look for more. Now read on and begin to formulate your business internet plan.
Clear Channel's Randall Mays is out. Google gets with Lala and MySpace Music to match consumers with songs. Wells Fargo radio analyst, Marci Ryvicker, predicts radio will lose more jobs. If you work in the radio industry - online or off - this is not the time to be wondering what to do next. That decision should have been made. Now you should be planning your next move.
The big companies are in such disarray that the major topic at each is survival. Across all traditional media, not just in the radio industry, the 'big boys' are plagued by out-of-control costs, severely-depressed revenues, and a general feeling that they are in the middle of a swarm of internet gnats - with no repellent in sight.
The Wall Street Journal has an excellent article which outlines the problem with media today. The title says it all: On the Web, Amateurs Rivaling Professionals.'
What's unsaid is 'the web' is becoming such an intuitive part of everyone's life that making a major imprint there is worth more than owning 1,000 radio stations." Sphere: Related Content

"United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has congratulated United States President Barack Obama for lifting the travel ban to the U.S. for people living with HIV.
Obama`s announcement late last week overturns a policy that had been in place since 1987, and it came as he signed the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009, which has provided treatment and support services to people living with HIV since 1990. Obama made the announcement in signing an extension of the the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Act, which provides for education, prevention and treatment programs for U.S. HIV patients. He said his administration will publish a final rule today, Nov. 2, that eliminates the travel ban effective just after the first of 2010.
`I urge all other countries with such restrictions to take steps to remove them at the earliest,` Ban, who has made removing the stigma and discrimination faced by those living with HIV a personal issue, said.
Almost 60 nations impose some form of travel restrictions on people with HIV." Sphere: Related Content

POLL: Illegal Downloaders Buy the Most Music
POLL: Illegal Downloaders Buy the Most Music:
"The UK’s Independent newspaper picks up on a curious study today: people who download music illegally also buy more music legally, according to a poll’s results. The study comes as the UK plans a controversial “three strikes and you’re out” rule that would disconnect copyright infringers from the Internet – it’s set to become law in April 2010."
SEE ALSO: Study: File sharers spend more money on music
I know that many, especially those associated with making money out of music, feel that pirates who share files should be made to walk the plank to the rhythm of Fiona Apple's "Criminal."
However, a survey commissioned by the professional cogitators at Demos in the U.K., suggests that just because one might download illegally, it doesn't mean one never spends money on music.
Indeed, according to the Independent, this survey, performed by the omeletteheads at Ipsos MORI, showed that those who share files spend 75 percent more on music than those who have allegedly clean hands.
Another omelettehead, Mark Mulligan of Forrester Research, told the Independent that those who share files are simply more interested in music.
He added: "They use file sharing as a discovery mechanism. We have a generation of young people who don't have any concept of music as a paid-for commodity." Sphere: Related Content

Witch School Leaves Rossville For Salem, Mass - Chicagoist:
"The past two years that the Witch School has operated in the city of Rossville, about 125 miles south of Chicago near the Indiana border, haven't been without constant protests from nearby Christian groups, going so far as to sprinkle the wheels of their cars with holy water and drive around town to ward off witches. This weekend, the Christian groups demands will finally be met as the Witch School is moving to a more occult-friendly city: Salem, Mass, the site of the notorious witchcraft trials over three centuries ago."

Liverpool Daily Post.co.uk - Features & Entertainment - The Beatles - Beatles News - Beatles housemate is all art:
"IMAGES of work by the man who painted Paul McCartney’s psychedelic Magic Piano have been put on display in a Liverpool bar.
Dudley Edwards, who has created murals for some of Britain’s most famous musicians, is exhibiting his art as part of Liverpool Music Week.
The show, at 3345 Parr Street, includes photographs that have not been on display for four decades.
Edwards said: “Musicians and artists in London at the time all knew each other. It wasn’t unusual that I should know the Beatles.
“It was an exciting time because young people all wanted to do their own thing.”
A member of pioneering pop art collective BEV, Edwards helped paint the brightly coloured shop fronts on Carnaby Street and Kings Road that became synonymous with 1960s Swinging London.
He also decorated the psychedelic Buick that appeared on the cover of the Kinks album Sunny Afternoon as well as a Cobra sports car for Guinness heir Tara Browne, who would later die in a car crash." Sphere: Related Content

It was the worst drug problem I ever had | Caitlin Moran - Times Online
It was the worst drug problem I ever had | Caitlin Moran - Times Online:
"A report last week claimed that a growing number of people are taking LSD and other psychedelic drugs — such as Ecstasy — to help with a range of problems including anorexia nervosa, cluster headaches and chronic anxiety attacks. Dr John Halpern, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, found that, of 53 people with cluster headaches, “almost all” obtained relief when taking either LSD or psilocybin, otherwise known as magic mushrooms.
Over in Switzerland, meanwhile, there is an experiment going on where people with a terminal condition are given LSD, along with psychotherapy, to cope with the profound anxiety brought on by impending death. While many of us might conclude instantly that the very last thing someone coming to terms with their own impending drop into the grave needs is wigging the hell out on a load of dappy-tabs, it seems that we are being overly cautious on the matter.
“If you handle LSD with care, it isn’t any more dangerous than other therapies,” says Dr Peter Gasser, the psychiatrist leading the trial." Sphere: Related Content
