|Product version
|File version
|SQL Server
|Analysis Services
Important notices
This article also provides important information about the following situations:
- Pacemaker: A behavioral change is made in distributions that use the latest available version of Pacemaker. Mitigations methods are provided.
- Query Store: You must run this script if you use Query Store and you have previously installed SQL Server 2017 Cumulative Update 2 (CU2).

Cumulative updates
Cumulative updates (CU) are now available at the Microsoft Download Center.
Only the most recent CU that was released for SQL Server 2017 is available at the Download Center.
CU packages for Linux are available at https://packages.microsoft.com/.
- Each new CU contains all the fixes that were included with the previous CU for the installed version of SQL Server.
- SQL Server CUs are certified to the same levels as Service Packs, and should be installed at the same level of confidence.
- Microsoft recommends ongoing, proactive installation of CUs as they become available according to these guidelines:
- Historical data shows that a significant number of support cases involve an issue that has already been addressed in a released CU.
- CUs may contain added value over and above hotfixes. This includes supportability, manageability, and reliability updates.
- We recommend that you test CUs before you deploy them to production environments.
How to obtain this cumulative update package for Windows
The following update is available from the Microsoft Download Center:
If the download page does not appear, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain the cumulative update package.
- After future cumulative updates are released for SQL Server 2017, this and all previous CUs can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. However, we recommend that you always install the latest cumulative update that is available.
How to obtain this cumulative update package for Linux
To update Linux to the latest CU, you must first have the Cumulative Update repository configured. Then, update your SQL Server packages by using the appropriate platform-specific update command.
For installation instructions and direct links to the CU package downloads, see the release notes.
Additional hotfixes that are included in this cumulative update package
Notes for this update
Known Issue
Under certain circumstances, there is a known uninstall issue with this SQL Server 2017 CU20. If you uninstall this CU, SQL server doesn't come online and you find the following SQL Server error log message:
The script level for 'system_xevents_modification.sql' in database 'master' cannot be downgraded from XXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXX, which is supported by this server. This usually implies that a future database was attached and the downgrade path is not supported by the current installation. Install a newer version of SQL Server and re-try opening the database.
Mitigation is to enable Trace Flag - T902, then SQL server will come online and you are done. You don't need to uninstall it again. To upgrade to new CU you need to remove this flag first.
SQL Server 2017 CU21 or any later CU release contains the fix.
Hybrid environments deployment
- SQL Server failover cluster rolling update and service pack process
Note If you do not want to use the rolling update process, follow these steps to apply an update:
- Install the update on the passive node.
- Install the update on the active node (requires a service restart).
- Upgrade and update of availability group servers that use minimal downtime and data loss
Note If you enabled AlwaysOn with SSISDB catalog, see the information about SSIS with AlwaysOn for more information about how to apply an update in these environments.

More CU package information
To apply this cumulative update package, you must be running SQL Server 2017.
Restart information
You may have to restart the computer after you apply this cumulative update package.
Registry information
To use one of the hotfixes in this package, you do not have to make any changes to the registry.
Pacemaker notice
All distributions (including RHEL 7.3 and 7.4) that use the latest available Pacemaker package 1.1.18-11.el7 introduce a behavior change for the start-failure-is-fatal cluster setting when its value is false. This change affects the failover workflow. If a primary replica experiences an outage, the cluster is expected to failover to one of the available secondary replicas. Instead, users will notice that the cluster keeps trying to start the failed primary replica. If that primary never comes online (because of a permanent outage), the cluster never fails over to another available secondary replica.
This issue affects all SQL Server versions, regardless of the cumulative update version that they are on.
To mitigate the issue, use either of the following methods.
Method 1
Follow these steps:
- Remove the start-failure-is-fatal override from the existing cluster.
# RHEL, Ubuntu pcs property unset start-failure-is-fatal # or pcs property set start-failure-is-fatal=true # SLES crm configure property start-failure-is-fatal=true
- Decrease the cluster-recheck-interval value.
# RHEL, Ubuntu pcs property set cluster-recheck-interval=<Xmin> # SLES crm configure property cluster-recheck-interval=<Xmin>
- Add the failure-timeout meta property to each AG resource.
# RHEL, Ubuntu pcs resource update ag1 meta failure-timeout=60s # SLES crm configure edit ag1 # In the text editor, add `meta failure-timeout=60s` after any `param`s and before any `op`s
Note In this code, substitute the value for <Xmin> as appropriate. If a replica goes down, the cluster tries to restart the replica at an interval that is bound by the failure-timeout value and the cluster-recheck-interval value. For example, if failure-timeout is set to 60 seconds and cluster-recheck-interval is set to 120 seconds, the restart is tried at an interval that is greater than 60 seconds but less than 120 seconds. We recommend that you set failure-timeout to 60s and cluster-recheck-interval to a value that is greater than 60 seconds. Setting cluster-recheck-interval to a small value is not recommended. For more information, refer to the Pacemaker documentation or consult the system provider.
Method 2
Revert to Pacemaker version 1.1.16.
Query Store notice
You must run this script if you use Query Store and you are updating from SQL Server 2017 Cumulative Update 2 (CU2) directly to SQL Server 2017 Cumulative Update 3 (CU3) or any later Cumulative Update. Executing this script is not needed if you have previously installed SQL Server 2017 Cumulative Update 3 (CU3) or any later SQL Server 2017 Cumulative Update.

Another year, another Day of Archaeology!
It may seem odd to begin a Day of Archaeology talking about accounts… but we are in the process of signing off the 2013-14 accounts so this is uppermost on my mind at the moment. After yesterday's meeting with the auditors my first task today is to prepare the financial parts of the Trustees' papers for the Board Meeting next Friday. It will be quite a busy Board meeting as there is a lot to discuss about the various changes I am making at the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust – all very positive news, but a lot of it!
This year is the last year that my administrator Jenny will be with us; she will retire later this year and just at the moment we are recruiting for her replacement. Applications for the job – advertised here – close at the end of the day on Monday, so there is still time to apply. Since I am the line manager of this post, and we have no HR department (just me!), then this has been another time-consuming process… it is always a fascinating one though.
Most of the team are out of the office today on various fieldwork projects. We have just finished two substantial Cadw-funded community archaeology projects and so the building is full of the detritus from those! I am immensely proud of Viviana, Sophie and Richard for their work at Buckley. This was quite a new departure for the Trust, with over 350 schoolchildren involved in an excavation of a post-medieval pottery site over a period of three weeks.
At the same time we also ran the fourth field season at Hen Caerwys, where the oldest and most experienced member of the team – Bob – was joined by our newest and youngest recruit, Menna. It is really rewarding to see experience and knowledge being handed on in a very practical way to the next generation. I was lucky enough to come out from behind my desk last weekend and spend a bit of time wielding a mattock on site at Hen Caerwys.
Some more Cadw-funded fieldwork will be done later in the summer, and Richard is out for the next two weeks doing geophysics in advance of those. At the moment Nigel is organising everyone's very busy schedule over the next month or so for various contracts ranging from watching briefs to large evaluation projects – with churches, quarries, medieval villages and prehistoric ring-ditches among the targets.
Meanwhile, on the curatorial side, Mark and Wendy continue to monitor planning applications and, where necessary, issue briefs for work. This year has seen a gradual upturn in the number of applications being received, which suggests that the economic recovery may be cautiously approaching mid-Wales. Finally, Jeff has taken a break from his usual HER duties this week to help Viviana with the first schools placement week. Today the six local pupils will carry on with a variety of field- and office-based activities. Yesterday they were outside my office on the back steps cleaning pottery in the sunshine – great to hear their enthusiasm and interest as a refreshing counterpoint to the tedium of the accounts.
Later this morning I have to go over to my old stomping ground at Ironbridge to give a lecture on the origins of metallurgy to students on the Building Conservation course there. Sadly this is the last time that this course will run in its current form. I am very much looking forward to seeing my recently-honoured former colleague Harriet Devlin MBE!
All in all a typically busy start to a typically busy day in the life of the Director of a Welsh archaeological trust!


text: DonRocks Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Here are some gems from this tender little reminiscence. Here, I opened one restaurant, Good Stuff, that developed my entire career. It is nice to be in a second-tier city where you can be a big fish in a small pond. And: After a few years here, I am finally finding balance in my life. When I got here, all I did was work. Now, I can take some time and enjoy the city and walk around and see the place. Doing that helps me love this city a little more every day. Why don't you "take some time" and make your two grease pits into something more than the shit holes that they are? That's right, I'm coming right out and saying it, you media-driven, propped-up, culinary version of Britney Spears ... both of your establishments suck in no uncertain terms. They SUCK. You might be "famous," but you're a nobody to me. You're probably the nicest guy in the world (*), but you're treading on sacred culinary ground with your asinine, arrogant comments - and arrogance, without the substance to back it up, makes you look like a mercenary fool, and I don't mean a King Lear fool. Doing my part to help you "love this [second-tier] city" a little less, Rocks (*) Thus, I address "Spike Mendelsohn," the "celebrity chef" that is constantly thrown in our faces by the PR-swallowing, star-fucking media, and also his lousy hamburger and pizza joints; and not Spike Mendelsohn, the human being. And no, I don't blame you (hell, I'd probably do the same thing). But checks and balances are needed, and they are virtually non-existent when it comes to you, Warren Brown, Carla Hall (sorry), and (yes, I'll say it), relative to his ridiculous (i.e., "worthy of ridicule") amount of fame, José Andrés, among several others in this second-tier city.

Why was the Larger Catechism adopted with the deletion of the phrase "tolerating a false religion" in answer 109? The Bible seems to teach against tolerating false religion. I noticed the Free Church of Scotland has kept it in. Thanks for your help in understanding.
This change to WLC 109 is helpfully understood through comparison to other modifications of the original wording that the OPC has embraced. In 1788, the Synod of New York and Philadelphia (then the highest judicatory of the Presbyterian churches in America) officially revised parts of chapters 20, 23, and 31 of the Westminster Confession of Faith. These modifications had to do with civil magistrates and consistently denied them authority over the church's affairs and asserted their responsibility to protect the good name of all people. In light of recent events in America and the new kind of social order emerging there, American Presbyterians had been forced to think through the theological foundation of their views on civil authority. Though most Reformed people in earlier generations had affirmed a general obligation of civil magistrates to punish heretics and suppress false churches and false religions (as reflected in the original wording of the Westminster Standards), these American Presbyterians came to conclude that civil magistrates in the New Testament era, unlike kings under the Old Testament theocracy, were not given this kind of authority by God. Most Presbyterians, therefore, embraced the "American experiment" of granting a broad degree of religious freedom to all people and looked to magistrates to ensure the free exercise of religion according to each person's conscience.
The change to WLC 109 reflects this line of thought. Though WLC 109 as the OPC confesses it still maintains each Christian's obligation to separate himself from all false religious worship—and Christian churches to separate themselves from such—it does not countenance the obligation of civil magistrates (or others) to suppress false religion with force. It recognizes that a certain degree of toleration of other religious practices is required of us in civil society during this present age. It is important to remember, however, that such toleration does not mean approval.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

RICHMOND, Va. — A judge is expected to decide Tuesday whether to toss out most of the corruption charges against Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen.
U.S. District Judge James R. Spencer is also set to decide whether the former first couple should be tried together or apart.
The Republican and his wife are charged in a 14-count indictment with accepting more than $165,000 from Jonnie Williams, the former CEO of dietary supplements maker Star Scientific Inc. In exchange, they would help promote his products, according to prosecutors. The McDonnells have pleaded not guilty.
The McDonnells' lawyers reiterated in court Monday what they've been arguing in court records for several weeks: prosecutors have wildly misinterpreted federal bribery law to include routine political courtesies, such as setting up meetings between political benefactors and government officials.
"This is not and has never been the law" said Noel Francisco, a lawyer for Bob McDonnell.
Much of the legal arguments in the case center on what constitutes an "official" act under state law. Setting up meetings between Williams and state officials and hosting a reception for Williams at the Executive Mansion do not count as official acts, Francisco argued.
But prosecutor Ryan Faulconer that the McDonnells were "lining their pockets" with cash, gifts and loans from Williams in secret while setting up those meetings and receptions, and in that context they can be considered official acts.
The McDonnells lawyers also reiterated their request for a separate trial, saying Maureen McDonnell's testimony could exonerate her husband from many of the charges. But Maureen McDonnell is not willing to testify at a joint trial because it would hamper her defense on a separate obstruction of justice charge filed solely against her.
Prosecutors said that the defense has given no specifics as to why Maureen McDonnell's testimony would be essential to her husband's defense.
The McDonnells are also charged with lying on bank loan documents.
A jury trial that is expected to last at least five weeks is scheduled to begin in late July.

Steadfast and Immovable
1.As the rising generation,
We have learned the gospel plan.
Though the storms of change around us
Challenge faith on ev'ry hand.
Steadfast and immovable,
Standing true unto our Lord;
Looking forward, strong in courage,
Faithful to His glorious word!
2. Like a beacon in the darkness,
Sending shining beams of light,
All the words of Christ before us
Show the way to win the fight.
3. Even when our trails grow stronger,
Still our hope does not grow dim,
And we know by serving others
We are truly serving Him.

A while ago we decided we wanted to go stay at our property in St. George before school started. Well, all the weekends were booked so we waited to go till September. I'm so glad it worked out that way because Jackson was much better than he would have been in August and we had a really great time.
The kids don't ever want to do anything else but swim, swim, swim. So that's pretty much all we do. It's simple and works perfectly for our family at this stage.
Jackson really liked the water and it was so fun finally being able to swim with him after the many times we went swimming this summer and he didn't get in.
He fell asleep in my arms in the pool. :)
Ava is so good to just paddle around by herself and jumps off the side of the pool all by herself too. She's so fun to watch!
The kids all love the slide.
The lazy river that doesn't actually move very much, ha ha.
It was about 98 degrees so we spent the afternoons mostly inside watching shows.
We all went and visited my friend Kristen to see her cute new baby, Jovi.
Brandon took the kids to Hash House a Go Go when they went to St. George in June without me and they all wanted to go back. It ended up being a pretty horrible experience, so probably our last, ha ha.
My food was gross, I spilled Tyler's entire root beer on the floor, and a few of us were just in a really bad mood. :)
The BBQ area by the pool is absolutely incredible and we enjoyed grilled hot dogs for lunch on Saturday.
Night swimming is the best! Kind of wish the trip could have been longer. Cleaning the place absolutely sucks, we need to get a better routine figured out. But the kids had a great time and were sad to go home.
Filling up with gas in Beaver on the way home. We realized Fillmore is the best place to stop so probably will avoid Beaver from here on out.

RISING STOCKS, FALLING PROFITS: Stocks are up sharply, despite an expected 1.3 percent fall in third-quarter earnings for companies in the Standard & Poor's 500.
TRIPLE WHAMMY: Corporate earnings are getting hit by slowing economic growth at home and abroad. Also, many companies have cut expenses and squeezed workers as much as possible, so profits margins are dropping, too.
HISTORY LESSONS: Stocks have risen after earnings fell before, but only half the time and occasionally not for very long. The S&P 500 rose 10 percent in the three months following a plunge in profits in the third quarter of 2001. But then stocks dropped in each of the next three quarters.

Shark Fights head Brent Medley on Friday confirmed with MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that both Drew McFedries and Marcus Hicks have been forced to withdraw from the event and replacements are currently being sought.
McFedries had been expected to face Joey Villasenor (27-7), and Hicks was set to face Karen Darabedyan (9-3).
MMAjunkie.com has also learned that Ohio native Daniel Straus (12-3) has verbally agreed to step in for Hicks, though Shark Fights officials have yet to officially announce the change.
A Team Vision MMA fighter, Straus is currently riding an eight-fight win streak that includes a June win over Chad Hinton under the Bellator Fighting Championships banner, as well as a January win over three-time UFC veteran Gideon Ray.
With the late changes, the Shark Fights lineup currently includes:
- Champ Trevor Prangley vs. Keith Jardine (light-heavyweight non-title fight)
- Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Houston Alexander
- Paul Daley vs. Jorge Masvidal
- Joey Villasanor vs. TBA*
- Brock Larson vs. Tarec Saffiedine
- Champ Douglas Evans vs. Ronnie Mann (featherweight title fight)
- Paul Bradley vs. Johnny Reese
- Aaron Rosa vs. Devin Cole
- Karen Darabedyan vs. Daniel Straus*
- Eric Davila vs. Pete Spratt
* – Not officially announced

Se havnivå provides information about sea level, tide tables, reference levels, and land uplift for the Norwegian coast.
See consequences of sea level changes in an interactive map.The web tool "Se havnivå i kart" visualize present-day storm surge levels and future sea level rise. The data and maps illustrate the potential scale of inundation.

Time is given as local time and includes adjustment for daylight saving time.
Water level and predicted tides are based on the best data available for the area. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute provides the water level forecast. The weather effect is the difference between the water level and the predicted tides. For more information, see the article "Hva er tidevann og vannstand" (in norwegian only).
The link between the different levels is important to know when determining lot boundaries, developing the coastal zone, investigating insurance claims etc.
To determine heights and depths we need knowledge about the different vertical datums, and the relationship between them. The relationship between the different datums vary from place to place. These levels are important for different utilizations and it is therefore possible to hide or show some types of datums in the list below.
The projections and numbers presented here are based on the report "Sea Level Change for Norway- Past and Present Observations and Projections to 2100", commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency. All numbers are corrected for post-glacial rebound.
The calculations are done for .
Current guidelines on how to account for future sea-level changes and use storm-surge return heights in planning are available from the Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) (only Norwegian text available): "Havnivåstigning og stormflo - samfunnssikkerhet i kommunal planlegging".
The table shows the same numbers as presented in the guidelines from DSB.
Please note that the DSB recommends that the above numbers should be rounded to the nearest 10 cm before use in planning. Future sea-level changes and storm-surge return heights given here are in the NN2000 height system.
In the vertical datum tab these numbers can be given using alternative reference levels if required.
For future sea level, the projected top of the likely range (95%) for the scenario RCP8.5 and for the period 2081-2100 relative to 1986-2005 is used, as recommended in the guidelines from DSB.
See consequences of sea level changes in an interactive map.
The graph below shows projections of future sea-level change up until 2100 relative to the baseline period 1986-2005. Projections are given for three different greenhouse gas emission scenarios as described in the Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC).
Solid lines show the projected mean sea-level change with the colored area showing the likely range of the projections.
The error bars to the right show the mean and likely range for the period 2081–2100 relative to 1986–2005.
It is also possible to show the observed yearly mean values from the permanent tide gauges. In the table, that can also be downloaded as a PDF-document, you can find the mean and likely ranges for the periods 2041–2060 and 2081–2100 as well as for the year 2100.
Users should note that the projections presented here could be exceeded if the ice sheets respond to global warming faster than expected, for example, if a collapse of the marine-based parts of Antarctica is initiated. This potential additional contribution from Antarctica is not well understood and is an active area of research.
For the time beyond 2100, it is virtually certain that global sea-level rise will continue due to the long response times of the oceans and ice sheets.
The table below shows local GIA. During the last glacial period the land was pressed down owing to the huge weight of ice. The process of GIA describes the ongoing upward movement of the land after this ice load melted. The numbers in the table are computed from Kartverket's GIA model, described in the report "Sea Level Change for Norway- Past and Present Observations and Projections to 2100". Values for 2030 and 2100 are given relative to 2000.
The graph shows the observed annual mean water level, as well as the highest and lowest water level for each year over the chosen period, or monthly if only one year is chosen. The values in the graph and the table are given to the vertical datum chosen above. Even if annual data is not shown in the graph, you might find some monthly values in the table below.
The data shown here are from the permanent tide gauge closest to the searched location, and have not been adjusted with a height correction factor. For most practical purposes, and for locations far from the permanent tide gauges, the levels found under the "Vertical datums" tab will be more robust.
The table below shows the maximum, average and minimum water levels for every month in the start year of the chosen period. Use the API-service to download these data.

Firefox's broad support for plug-ins and extensions has always been a major feature of the browser, particularly back in the days of IE6. The the browser's enduring popularity has finally caught the eye of malware authors, as a trojan is now targeting Firefox specifically
BitDefender has identified this new bit of holiday cheer as Trojan.PWS.ChromeInject.A" (the ChromeInject suffix refers to the Chrome component of Firefox). The trojan installs itself into Firefox's add-on directory, registers itself as Greasemonkey, and begins searching your hard drive for passwords, login details, your World of WarCraft account information, and your library card number.
Please note, this trojan is not actually the Greasemonkey add-on, and only identifies itself as such. Mozilla has confirmed that the official Greasemonkey release contained within Mozilla's own extension repository (and available here) is malware-free. If you're currently using Greasemonkey or are interested in doing so, there's no reason to avoid the legitimate add-on at this time, so long as you download it from Mozilla's page or an equally trusted source.
Once installed, the trojan is capable of identifying over 100 web sites. When an infected user visits a site the trojan recognizes, the parasite comes to life and records the login/password details being transmitted. Presumably it then goes back to sleep, quietly keeping an eye on further system activity.

A brief history of chemical weapons
Several international agreements have sought to limit the use of chemical weapons in warfare, beginning with the 1675 Strasbourg Agreement that banned the use of poison bullets in conflict. More recently, a United Nations initiative led to the signing of the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993. The convention, which has been signed by 182 states, enforces a comprehensive ban on developing, producing, stockpiling and using chemical weapons. Syria is not among the signatories to the Convention and thus is not legally bound by its prohibitions.
Chemical weapons include a wide variety of warfare agents developed specifically for military use, in addition to toxic industrial and commercial chemicals such as chlorine and phosgene and chemical toxins of biological origin such as ricin.
Here's a look at the ways chemical weapons have been used militarily in recent history:
World War I: Chlorine and phosgene gases were released on the battlefield. The first large scale attack with chlorine gas took place at Ieper in Belgium on April 22nd, 1915. Ninety thousand people were killed and over a million injured as a result of the use of chemical weapons in the war.
1980s: Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran in their 8-year war. Iraq also used chemical weapons against Kurdish Iraqis in Halabja in 1988.
2004: U.S. military used white phosphorus in Fallujah, Iraq. Use of white phosphorus is not banned but its use is restricted under an international agreement the U.S. has never accepted.

Cody Chesnutt believes in taking his time.
He earned widespread critical praise for his first album, the lo-fi, double disc "The Headphone Masterpiece" in 2002, when Chesnutt also lent his voice to the Roots' "The Seed 2.0"--a remake of a track featured on "Masterpiece." Then, well … not much happened for a while.
Short of an EP release in 2010, Chesnutt mostly vanished from the musical map. A marriage, two children and a decade later, he released his full-length follow-up, the livelier "Landing on a Hundred," in late 2012.
Before his recent show at Martyrs', the Atlanta native sat down to discuss where he's been, fixing household problems through song and his history with, of all people, Suge Knight.
"Landing on A Hundred" is your first official album in 10 years. Is the person that recorded this album the same person that recorded "The Headphone Masterpiece?"
Well, I have two children now, and that's changed the whole game for me. Not only that, but as a man I wanted to give myself time to grow so that I could also let my artistry grow, and my family is very instrumental in the growth process. I wanted the music to reflect who I am now, as opposed to trying to lean on something that's popular or convenient. I wanted to take my time as a writer. I mean, 10 years wasn't planned [laughs]. I was just trying to absorb as much information and observe new life experiences.
Raising kids is a big part of that, right? I mean, you had to have points where you were like, "Record a song? I don't even know what day it is."
Right! All my energy was focused on what that deal was all about: fatherhood and family.
You've studied the history of black music. You even went down to Memphis and recorded using the same microphone Al Green used to use. You're involved with the present-day music scene. From your perspective as a newer father, what do you think is the future of black music?
I think a sense of history has been lost in the music. A lot of music that dominates the airwaves now, personally I don't feel it. It doesn't resonate in my soul. You just hear catchphrases and sounds. I think we've gotten too far from that. As we know though, things go in cycles. I feel we're going to start demanding more. I think we're getting back to the point where we'll dig a little deeper and reintroduce the past elements.
Who are you currently listening to?
Not a lot, to be honest. I appreciated what Frank Ocean does as a writer; he's got a lot of potential. I think Cee-Lo is a great writer. I'm mostly into the classics.
I get that vibe from your album. Look at the song "Love is More Than a Wedding Day." By the way, what did you wife think about that one?
She loved it. She cried when I played it for her. I mean, I wrote it to fix a little issue in our household. Communication had broken down one week, and so I wrote that as a way to bring us back together. It's my favorite song on the album.
Do you use singing as a way to get out of trouble around the house? You forget to take out the trash and she gets mad, so you say, "I know I didn't take out that trash baby, but hold on, I wrote you this song…"
[Laughs] Nah. It definitely comes in handy trying to keep the peace around the house though.
What kind of music are you playing for your kids?
I play them the whole gamut. Some jazz, some soul, spirituals, a little rock-and-roll. When my son is in the car with his mother, he catches a little bit of the contemporary pop music. They love music.
You used to write some things for Death Row Records, right?
Well, my cousin and some friends were in a group called Six Feet Deep. They would always come to me for mentoring. I'd practice with them and get them tight on their harmonies. Somehow, they met [co-founder/CEO] Suge Knight and they parlayed that meeting into a trip out to Los Angeles, and he told them about my writing. About midnight one night, Suge called me, told me he liked the material and then flew me out to work. We did about five to seven songs, and that evolved into Suge wanting me to write for a Tupac tribute album, which never ended up happening. The song I did ended up on the [1997 Tupac/Tim Roth vehicle] "Gridlock'd."
Speaking of … rap music is known for being a look into the lives of people in bad situations and neighborhoods. In fact, some of the best music ever has come out of turmoil and unrest. Chicago is going through a tough time right now, and I wanted to know, you being a person who creates soulful music, do you have any advice for artists on these streets right now?
You have to continue to focus on truth. Make music that digs deeper. A lot of music [from the streets] today is superficial. Artists have to come from the heart to establish a dialogue the way Curtis Mayfield and Stevie [Wonder] did. People just have to open themselves up and be in tuned with the conditions and the spirit of those conditions.
We waited ten years for you to release a new album. Do you think we're ever going to get a new record from D'Angelo?
Man, it's a process. Nobody knows what that brother's going through. At the end of the day, he's a bona fide talent, and there shouldn't be a time limit on what he has to offer. Whatever he brings to the table, people are going to feel it. Whatever he creates is going to be the music that saved his life. It'll stand up on it's own. Let the man do what he needs to do. Just be patient. [smiles]

A picture from the Singapore GP on British website Heart.co.uk showed "David Beckham posing with an elderly fan" at the Singapore Grand Prix. That "elderly fan" was three time F1 champion and living legend Niki Lauda. Whoops.
The website has since fixed the error. Granted, non-F1 fans would have no idea who Niki Lauda is by just looking at him with David Beckham. And Beckham is famous. Just put this one up as a miscommunication and a small error.
Plus, it is nice to see Lauda take some time out of his busy schedule to pose with a young soccer player.

Fresh off of whatever they saw in the trunk at the end of Tuesday's Pretty Little Liars season finale, those law-breakers have a new problem to deal with! TV Guide Magazine has learned exclusively that Sean Faris has been cast on ABC family's hit teen mystery in the recurring role of Pennsylvania state police officer Gabriel Holbrook.
Aside from having a spectacular last name, little else is known about the character, but the arrival of a law-enforcement official from outside of the Rosewood P.D. can only mean that Aria and company are in deep water. Way deeper than the lake they tried to hide Det. Wilden's patrol car in, at least.
Faris, who met a fiery demise during The Vampire Dairies' first season as bartender-turned-bloodsucker Ben McKittrick, begins filming Thursday and will make his first appearance in the June 11 season premiere.
What do you think he's coming to town to deal with? A dead body in the trunk? The fire at the lodge? Teacher-student impropriety at Rosewood High?

Favorable winds, timing curbed Sandy's impact on Chesapeake Bay
Preliminary data show the superstorm has done less damage than Hurricanes Isabel, Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
by Catherine Krikstan
November 01, 2012
The superstorm known as Sandy has boosted river flow in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, but favorable winds and timing meant it did not do as much damage as some feared.
Image courtesy thisisbossi/Flickr
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), much of the watershed avoided surge-related flooding during the height of the storm, as northerly winds kept a large push of water from moving into the Bay. While some locations did experience post-storm surges of two to four feet, even the highest surge was about half of that seen during Hurricane Isabel in 2003.
And while rainfall has raised river flow in the watershed, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has reported that flow conditions remain below record levels—and lower than expected.
Preliminary data from the USGS also show that the accompanying nutrient and sediment loads pushed into rivers from polluted runoff are not expected to approach those seen in 2011 from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Nor is the flow in the Susquehanna River expected to produce a significant scour of sediment from the Conowingo Reservoir. While nutrients and sediment can disturb the habitat of underwater grasses and marine life, Sandy's end-of-autumn timing—while underwater grasses are dormant—means that its impact will likely not be as great as that of a super-sized summertime storm.
According to NOAA, much of Sandy's rainfall is still working its way down the watershed's rivers. Scientists from NOAA, USGS and other Chesapeake Bay Program partners will continue to conduct in-depth research on Sandy's effects on the Bay and its resources.

I hear my scream
the doctors talkin but the sickness in my belly

rap. rap. rap.
feel the doctor tighten, look round. come in?¸ he says, stayin where he is holdin my hand, an Im all twisted as tara stares at us, doctor in his suit leaned up against the desk holdin my hand, me all redness and blubber from cryin
well.¸ she says

he puts his hands together on the desk again
are you feeling any better now?¸
I nod
a couple of questions, do you mind? Im sorry to put you under pressure but it does seem well have to keep half an eye on the time. I read that you dont get out of bed, you have problems washing, is that correct?¸
plates, cups sticky, spilt coffee brown an gummy all over lino an lucy diggin around all them dirty nappies, empty takeaway cartons on the floor, findin one half full pawin curry into her mouth her hands stainin dirty yellow. and the flies again all on my little shell, in corner of her eyes. no point chasin them, Im tired. shes stopped cryin. theyll only fly back gain
I stare at doctor. badness. bad blood, feel it slow and black in my flesh. my chin heavy against my chest. spread my hands on my lap, watch my fingers twitterin
I do wash. sometimes¸
sometimes. do you find it hard?¸
nod. wipe my mouth again
why is that?¸
some people find thinking of just one word to describe how theyre feeling, it helps them communicate a sense of what theyre experiencing? if you could only use one word?¸
I shrug
maybe describe how youre feeling at the moment, is there one word that sums it ?¸
diggin my chin into my chest
wearing? I dont under¸
I stare up into the blue-white barlight. its throb-throb in my eyes. like that, always on. under your eyelids wearin you out¸
I see. yes. thats a good way to describe it really helps me to get a sense. and what medication are you on? do you know? anything to help you with that feeling of wearing out?¸
on dipixol.¸ my eyes gettin wet
anything else? nothing to help you with your mood?¸
shake my head
and for the side effects?¸
stuff for loo. and prostitutin ¸
you mean procicladin? does it help?¸
I hold my hand out. he watches it jerkin and shakin, slowly his head tiltin to one side
my mouth¸ wet from my eyes hot an curlin behind my ears my mouths full of spit. all time. its disgustin¸
liftin his glasses onto his forehead. rubs his temples. pushes over the box of tissues
wipe my eyes as he scribbles on his paper
and why do you think youre on dipixol?¸
told you, think Im schizoid, dont they? I tell em I never had heard voices. no difference needle every week in my bottom ¸
I understand that you dont hear voices and¸ his eyes go all bright an he smiles that youre fully aware bin ladens got far too many bomb factories to keep going than to bother with you ¸
can feel my cheeks, look down at desk smilin
but I was led to understand, that you felt that evil spirits had entered you around the time of the do you feel you might be on the dipixol to help you with ?¸
no!¸ pressin my hands against table never said that, never said that¸ my face all hot that wasnt it, that that doctor, wouldnt listen, she kept tryin at me, that, that wasnt it, that with what I had and the burns an prison I couldnt get my words but, it wasnt said to her said to her its not like, that wasnt, but she kept pouncin that wasnt it, it wasnt ¸
pushes the box of tissues closer. the chair all diggin and squeezin me, my back an all and the doctor all bug-eyed starin like Im lyin, like Im cheatin
that wasnt it, it wasnt like she said, doctor, werent no spirit possessin, I dont know why I I dont know why ¸ crossin, uncrossin my arms, salt wettin my mouth bitter like everythin inside me
help me understand ¸
no. you dont understand you dont under¸ pushin back the chair dont know why I dont know why I wasnt anywhere, my spirit like it left me like I was cold and far, watchin me gettin them all cleaned like I said to her ¸
getting them all clean?¸
shellys little lips and her little nose so soft under the hard pressin down of my palm. bliss of her peaceful silence. I open my eyes. still for the first time in weeks an weeks so I can wipe her, clean her bum with wet wipes like she needs, and make her comfortable and hug lucy, standin quiet now too, and test the water with my elbow, weave my fingers through the smoothness of shellys hair an soft scalp, latherin it up citrus and springtime ticklin at my nose from the shampoo and tiltin her sweet head back, rinsin the soap away, wispy like cotton her hair when its dry, clean and baby smellin she is, and changin her properly, an puttin her in the nice little baby-pink suit with yellow flowers, and for first time since she came out of me she looks content an clean
hummin in my ears. the dark with my eyes closed
can feel my skin
slip my hand under my top. spread my fingers round my belly, lumpy, tight, tissue-crisp skin. scratch in with my rough, picked-sharp nails. pinch and dig my fingers in, let pain slow my breathin
are you ok?¸
nudgin me the box of tissues. cant look
please help me understand. you felt like you were watching yourself?¸
her top alight, white flame, lucy screamin
Im sorry to push you you felt you were watching yourself getting your children all cleaned up, had you already decided to do what you did?¸
combin. lucy tryin not to yell out as I work the comb through the tangle knottin up her hair, her face all scrunchin up in ouches, an I love her so badly its twistin up till it feels like my ribs are broke. lucys wide eyes starin up as I separate her hair into two plaits, and with hairbands make her hair into ponies like she likes
both of them day an night doctor, doctor ¸
mummy move¸ lucy grabbin at me mummy¸ tuggin at my arm move, move mummy¸ cant move, cant shakin at me while I sob, shake-shakin at me till shes screamin face purple screamin, pullin at my hair, diggin mummy mummmmiiii¸
couldnt feel nothin, doctor, couldnt see nothin, not even move myself to loo¸
comfort-warm of wet, risin like a cuddle round my legs, steamy pissy sleepy smell
nothin was like nothin I dont know why I I dont know why I shes so upset, shes doctor I was dead weeks weeks was dead still them screamin screamin fillin my head ¸
its ok¸
lucy whimperin. her ribs, her ribs stickin out
no shes so upset, all time, nothin was in me went good for nothin an couldnt clean her, couldnt feed them hungry all time hungry screamin, screamin, screamin both of them day an night day an night ¸
my wee coolin on my legs. pullin Lucy to me, her nails cuttin into me, her face buried in my stomach. blue, watchin its like magic blue floatin bove chair growin, suckin, spreadin, lickin in rainbow orange, clawin out an blackenin walls, listenin to its breathin, like its livin, snappin, poppin, crackin, smellin smoky-warm like mummy and bonfire whiz an bang, glistenin silver on black sky night, candyfloss sticky holdin mummys hand, guy fawkes alight, sky explodin an showerin
takin off glasses. waitin
the suck of my breath. my face fizzin. cant open my eyes
Im so sorry to have to push you like this its just so important I understand what youre saying. I dont want to misunderstand to put words in your mouth. please, if you can. let me know if I understood this right¸
turnin way from him
you found yourself unable to get out of bed, even to go to the toilet or take care of your childrens basic needs you felt like your body was dead?¸
this deterioration when did it begin? how long after the birth of your youngest daughter?¸
pushin away. you know what I done you know what I ¸
I know how difficult this is. please. just try and bear with me. its important I understand. you said your spirit left you? what did you mean?¸
sweat shinin on his forehead
nappies, cartons, clothes, plates, rottin food all of it, squirtin sprayin splashin it over everything. throw match. the suck like a breath. heat. lucy starin. bedtime. be good girl. were all goin bed. pick her up
I watched me. I watched me do it ¸ fold my chin gainst my chest, try an keep the noise in my throat as I shake
I open my eyes. hes still there. his glasses are folded up on the desk, his eyes shrunk in his face. head tilted as if hes feelin it all inside me. waitin. for breathin to slow. hes passin me tissues. my hands are goin. I blow my nose. clean up my face
he leans up against the desk, fixes his glasses back on his nose
like, like ¸ my mouth movin without me that picture, me in news, what they all wrote. I think. it true. am evil what they all wrote bout me is true, every word of it ¸
my belly pressin sicky into back of my mouth
Im not your doctor.¸ lookin at me sad like Im dyin. but let me say this, in case it is useful. if a man kills his wife and the next day risks his own life to save the lives of two drowning children is it accurate to describe this man as good? is it accurate to describe him as evil? or is it that he is a man who has done good things and evil things and can do more good things in the future if he chooses? perhaps this would be useful for you to think about¸
watch the pen, it wagglin in his hand as he writes
smoke makin ghosts, curlin like cuddle, cradlin the bed wet with sweat, hazy and thick, sleepy like cloud an shelly against my breast, cool against my skin cuddled to me sleepin, and lucy, chin diggin in between my breast an shoulder, her skin hot, sticky-soft, smellin of johnson and colgate
I am going to suggest that a diagnosis of post-natal depression is explored. therere several medications effective for this it would seem to me to make more sense particularly as I have not witnessed any symptoms typical of schizophrenia. the side-effects from your current medication regime are significant ¸
fast little heart against my ribs, lucy, boom-boom-boom echoin inside me, like she did before she was born, her nails dig, scratch like shes tryin to claw inside me, break through this clammy skin of mine, this shell of meat an bone thats left her all alone since she came out of me
I choke again. the blood-noise pressin in my head they, they all think I didnt love them¸ the feel of his finger tips gainst the inside of my wrist
come in?¸
Im sorry to interrupt. its thirty minutes and nurse-in-charge sent ¸ tara stops speakin. starin at the doctor holdin my hand again
well.¸ she says
Im sorry I kept alison so long. but if youre feeling up to it ¸ lookin at me were ok to wrap up now? Im sorry its been so upsetting¸
tryin to stop my blitherin, tryin dry, cleanin up my face with tissue
well, it doesnt matter now does it? nurse-in-charge has sent me down with alisons tablets, nurse-in-charge thinks she can take her medication down here¸
thats fine although I think weve covered all we need to have covered today ¸
tara frumpin into room with my medication
my hot face. I grip doctors hand, standin myself up I kiss him on the cheek. sandpaper-and-lynx skin prickles my lips
hear tara, I turn round, all my tablets on floor by her feet, water splashed up her leg, tots upside down, her mouth all open
thank you doctor¸ I say
he steps back, shakin his head, smilin. are you ok?¸ he says to tara, handin her the box of tissues
fuck¸ she says her red lips all thin, dabbin at her legs. all right thank you¸
tryin to keep my breathin steady, watch her bendin down, her fat arse in the air, on her knees pickin up the tots and the spilt pills. glancin at doctor, I hold my hands together to stop em shakin, look back down at her. nurse¸ I say need to take my medication, please¸
from her hands an knees, she looks up at me

Knoxville, IA — (January 14, 2013) — Veteran World of Outlaws (WoO) announcer Johnny Gibson has been named the recipient of the 2012 "Outstanding Contribution to the Sport Award" by all three voting panels of the North American Sprint Car Poll. According to National Sprint Car Museum executive director Bob Baker, "The poll's Outstanding Contribution Award is the museum foundation's highest honor for current achievers in the sport, as it is voted on by industry insiders from the 360-, 410-cubic-inch, and non-winged sprint car divisions. For Johnny Gibson to earn this award, it speaks to the level of respect that people in our entire industry, nationwide, have for him and his work with the Outlaws. Carlton Reimers, who first handed a microphone to the program-selling western Pennsylvanian in 1995, should feel very proud, as would Carlton's father-in-law and founder of the WoO sprint car tour, the late Ted Johnson, if he were still with us."
Past recipients of the North American Sprint Car Poll's "Outstanding Contribution to the Sport Award" are as follows: the late Jerry Reigle, Steve Sinclair, Kasey Kahne, Tom Schmeh, Dick Jordan, the late Fred Brownfield, Doug Auld, the late Hank Gentzler, Tony Stewart, Emmett Hahn, Allan Holland, Dave Argabright, Ron Shuman, the late Kevin Gobrecht, Jack Hewitt, the late Jack Miller, Brad Doty, Art & Carol Malies, Dave Bowman, Ralph Capitani, the late Ted Johnson, Mark Kuchan, Steve Kinser, the late Don Martin, Steve Beitler, Lee Brewer, Mark Kinser, Frank Lewis, Earl Baltes, Casey & Beverly Luna, Elayne Hoff, Jean Lynch, the late J.W. Hunt, and Bert Emick.
The North American Sprint Car Poll is an annual awards program of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum. All awards will be distributed in the spring of 2013 at tracks throughout North America. This award was announced on the fifth and final day of the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
