Music for $u*King
by Lisa Butterworth on Sep 13, 2004
"You go extreme when you get with me," Peaches raps seductively in "Bag It" on her new album Fatherfucker and she ain't lyin'. This Toronto native, born Merrill Nisker, covers everything from sodomy, masturbation and transgenderism to d*ck-shaking, ti**ie-sucking and S&M in her addictive, minimalist beat-driven songs. Nisker has come a long way since her after-hour club beginnings, first as a quarter of no-wave band the Shit and later as a third of the cock-rockin' Feedom. With an MC505 Groovebox, an itch for beat-making, a libido fighting for the spotlight and a penchant for gender-bending, Peaches was born, assailing the conservative and sexually modest since German label Kitty-yo released her first album Teaches of Peaches in 2000. Now she reigns in art galleries (she recently performed at an upscale fundraiser), cinema (last year she starred in a John-Malkovich directed short film), university classes (her lyrics have been added to queer studies curriculum in Toronto) and even mainstream pop (look for a cameo on Pink's upcoming album). With her ubiquitous hot pink hot pants and faux facial hair, everyone wants a piece of the peach.
Teaches (re-released in the US in 2002), debuted on the XXX side of the electroclash spectrum, and found her getting off somewhere between the political agenda of Le Tigre and the horny explicitness of Cex. The new album Fatherfucker (she says the title's about equality) is more hardcore smut paired with dirty beats like her debut, but also has a raunchy rock element. Fuzzy guitar riffs invade the electro-simplicity and the first track pairs a Joan Jett sample, "I don't give a damn about my reputation", with Peaches passionately screaming "I don't give a $u*K / I don't give a sh*t". The album also features "Kick It", a duet with Iggy Pop that references one of Peaches favorite topics, her unshaven bikini line (see the crotch gallery on www.peachesrocks.com for further insight).
From a white Jewish girl who grew up next door to Rush (she's told stories of playing red rover with Geddy Lee's younger brother), to a sexed-up, taboo-shucking beat junkie Peaches knows she's hot stuff. "I'm the kinda bitch that you want to get with," she sassily sings on the second track of Father$u*Ker. And yes, she is exactly that.

The Missing Link: Driving Business Results Through Pay-for-Performance (for Enterprise)
Many successful large companies are starting to recognize the direct relation of compensation to employee performance for fostering incredible business results. While most companies have employed a pay-for-performance approach for sales professionals, this type of strategy is proving to be extremely effective at all departments and levels across an organization.
Unfortunately, many companies are unfamiliar with how to implement an incentive program for other departments. This e-guide offers a simple road map for applying pay-for-performance initiatives that can transform your employees and overall business performance.

But perfection comes at a price. Generally speaking, the closer you want to get to perfection, the more it will cost you. And the cost increase isn't linear!
(the smiling faces represent the mood of your "average user")
This means you have to be careful when investing on perfection. In most scenarios, there's simply not enough time to make everything perfect. Nothing new here, right? It's just the old quantity vs. quality dilemma. You either do 1 perfect thing, or you do 2 "good enough" things.
If you take this into a software product scope, there are a few guidelines that can help deciding how perfect your feature needs to be:
- How many times will the feature be used? Rarely used features can be a bit uncomfortable, and seldom used features can be good enough. Perfection should be saved for those features that are used all the time!
- Who will be using the feature? Features targeted at one particular user can get away with a hack. For features existing users are craving for, a quick "good enough" solution may be better than a delayed perfect solution. If you're aiming for first time users, you should go for perfection, to make sure they stick around for more.
- How unique is the feature? Is this something every other product does? Is it always done the same way? Unless this is really core to your product, you probably should stick to good enough and go with the crowd. But if this is something truly unique to your product, polish it up for perfection!
- Is the feature demo-able? If this is something you'll be wanting to show at a prospect demo or at a room with 400 people, going for perfection is a good investment.
- Is the feature sell-able? Is this one of those features that has the potential to enchant customers? Better yet, is this a feature customers will be talking about to your prospects? If so, by all means make it perfect!
PS: The same principle can be applied to a bunch of other areas of a software product, like documentation and marketing. Anyone care to make a blog post about those? :-)

thnx for you reply and direction. well yes and no, yes - that it's title related however, no- in that I am not in need of help in creating titles.
The gust is. is that i want to import the "source" file AS IS, in that, I don't want to to have to type-out the information through the titler engine.
thanks hope this is clear.

PP can't import PDF or Word documents. You'll have to cut & paste into something PP can understand. A PSD maybe. Or even right into the Titler.

In other words is there a way to splice text from a word document and onto a format that would import into premiere. perhpas I should splice and copy the text from the word document THEN paste it into a jpeg? I dunno, oh well -- Ill check out the title section anyway...again thanks

exactly... I kindof answered in tandem with you when I posted a similar reply to someone else. I gues option one is to cut or copy from the word document into the titler. option 2, would be a PSD. yea?

I often find that I need to create a Title with a lot of Text.
I create the Text in Word, or WordPerfect, and then Copy/Paste into a Title, created in Photoshop.
I start with a New Image, that has at least the basics for the Video, say an NTSC DV Widescreen 16:9 Image (PS offers several Video Presets), and then I enlarge the Canvas to account for my Text. Most often, I will be doing a Rolling Title, so that New Image might end up being 4000 pixels "tall."
If I only wish to animate that Text, then it can be Saved as a PSD with Transparent Background, and I adjust its Duration, to be what I want. I just did one such Title, that ran for about 45 sec., with a lot of Text, all Copied/Pasted from a WordPerfect document, so that I could also do SpellCheck on it. Worked a treat.
Good luck,

According to everyone's favorite After Effects expressions & scripting guru, Dan Ebberts, you can load text from a text file into After Effects with code like this:
myPath = "/media/text.txt";
$.evalFile (myPath);
}catch (err){
"not found"
I find that lots of text is a lot easier to handle in After Effects.
10. Re: what about long strands o' text?Drewhoo Sep 7, 2012 2:40 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
thanks, except that the source word document has graphs that frame the text, so when I paste into PSD, they're all aligned out of wack. Hence, I have to manually
adjust the structure of sentences and words to match indentations (cumbersome). Like I said, to have been able to just cut n paste that parge graph from it's original state,
unaltered, directly into PS would have been ideal, however, life doesn't always work that way.
none the less, i am saving time doing it your way. thanks for the setailed instruction.
11. Re: what about long strands o' text?the_wine_snob Sep 7, 2012 4:21 PM (in response to Drewhoo)
Ah, the formatting from Word is not likely to translate directly. Now, as an option (one to test), maybe Export (cannot recall if this is under Export, or Save_As) as a PDF, and then Open that file in PS. Not sure how it will handle the formatting though. I have seen some odd behavior when going from a formatted Word DOC/DOCx to PDF, and I have Acrobat Pro Distiller.
Same issues can occur with formatting from WordPerfect to PDF.
Just thinking above, and it might be of no use to you.
Please report the test, and good luck,

Dear Exalted one, or shall I refer to you as Guru Hunt? Wow, thanks! That worked briallintly, like a warm knife through buttah. Actually, I DID in fact try PDf'ing prior to my post insofar, I was falsely deterred based on an issue which I now see as an over-looked error on my part, and had you not mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have tried it again. The error being; I didn't select SELECT ALL the first time around when I spliced the Pdf - I typically CUT, then paste INTO the "new" project.- instead I tried dragging and droppping or something lame like that.
Pfft, rookie move.
But this time around i was more meticulous in my metho, and it worked beautifully - EXCEPT, if I may... when it came to re-sizing the text after it was pasted in. It was much larger than the canvas size (I did choose a video preset size in the menu btw) which came out to 10 by 3600 pixels or something like that, a lil under your stated 4000 high - I see where you are coming from on that height factor. So when I imported the PSD into Premiere, I had to resize again, subsequently there was a slight loss of acuity. Though it was only a 28 percent loss, from 100 to 77 percent shrinkage; not untenable by any means, liveable.
Living with it. Thanks Sir Hunt! Oh, by the way.....
Out of mere conicidence, I seem to have stumbled onto another obstacle from whcih another question has arised, which deals wiith formats of video, i.e: MPEG4, MPEG2-DVD, AVI, etc...
If i want to provide my client with a DVD and a file that rests in his drive, which one would be best? Btw, I don't have a way to upload files to a site or anything. I guess he would have to either drag the files from off the dvd folders when it is in his player? Or, i would have to jump drive it over.
best, Drew

So glad that the workflow got you what you needed. I am always afraid, when typing out a process, that I will forget something important. Usually, it's much easier to DO, than to write about!
Some background: that 4000 pixel dimension WAS the limit (4096 x 4096) for Stills into PrPro, but that has changed. In my case, old habits... Also, I have never found the need to do a Rolling Title taller than about 4K pixels. Usually, by that point, I am on to making a second Rolling Title. As of CS 5, that size is no longer an issue. If my Title will only use part of the Project's Frame Size width, I will Crop in PS, just to keep the unnecessary pixel count to a minimum, as processing them DOES still require overhead.
As for the delivery scheme, if one will be working in SD, and a DVD-Video is one of the final output schemes, I think that the MPEG-2 DVD is a good choice. You can Export to that, using a DVD-compliant Bit-Rate (Bit Budgeting), for Import into Encore for authoring, AND also for distribution to the client. The MPEG-2 DVD is X-Platform, and that CODEC is common on most machines. WMP (or better), and QT Player, will play it.
As for transfer of AV files (and large Image files), I use YouSendIt. The file is uploaded to their server, and the client gets an e-mail with the URL. One can limit access to that file, password protect it, get receipt of the client downloading it, etc.. Though I have retired, I still maintain my account, and still use it, though not as much as I used to. There are other such services, but they were the best of the ones that I tried, back when. I have not investigated any others recently - I am basically lazy, and just stick with what works, and with suppliers, who do not let me down, even if there are others, with perhaps a lower unit price.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

If you have a version of Ae that will accept PDF files, you can zoom in (scale up) as far as you want and not lose resolution - as long as there are no bitmaps embedded. Turn on Continuous Rasterization for the PDF layer.
Your graph may be a bitmap. If it's all vector, you're all set.

Jim, thanks, I believe thatI do, I possess the Master collection CS5, (64-something?) I forgot butthere's a parnthetical after the AE scribe. So I 'm thinking that's gotta indictae the latest and greatest.
Next time, i run into this issue, i will try tackling it in AE instead, although I've already did what Hunt advised which turned out great, it's good to know of an alternative mthod, one in which sounds actually as powerful - THAT is, if i can rasterize, haha.

Hey Hunt, well, according to my properties tab of the file it indicates just shy of 600 MBS - give n take, more or less - as I am calculating the WAV file and Media file together in my head because they were rendered separately when upon choosing the MPEG2-DVD OP scheme. Speaking of which, thanks! I was able to build a dvd in Encore quite seamlessly. I surmise however, in the future when I embark on more sophisticated and complex projects dealing with say, I-Phone app creation, web-video across multiple platforms, and (my most anticipatedly desirous one) I-Book creation in In-design! in which the union of imgaes, video and text co-exist in matrimony; all this hoopla regarding which format is best will have to be investigated more in-depth by me, when I decide to step on that proverbial bridge, pun intended, Adobe Bridge of course!
YOUSendit should accomodate the size, I am assuming. But I think I can also use a jump-drive too, which I may do since I see this dude around a lot. Thanks for the referral.
I marked, replied, and showed my digital apprecitaion as best I can, in fact, if you are in the throes of convincing the uppers about the efficacy of forum-based help in lieu-of (is that the correct use of in lieu of?) anyway, of.... tech support , you know what I mean, I will be a proponent in every sense of the defined term.

At some "upper-level," it appears that there is a dichotomy of thought, regarding helping users of Adobe products. One group believes that all can be handled via Help files, and now that they are mostly on-line, they can be corrected, or ammended, almost instantly. They seem to feel that any/all "slack" can be picked up with telephone T/S. Another faction sees great benefit from the product forums, and the expertise of the users, to solve many problems, before the user with the problem/question goes to T/S. It is that faction, that most of us here support, and wish to help make their case.
In the product forums, that I frequent, I am convinced that the forums perform a great and necessary function, and do it very well - probably much better than the first few "levels" of T/S support. Part of the problem with T/S is that those first few levels encountered do not get a user to anyone, who actually knows and uses the program. They are really little more than "call screeners," with a very generalized script to help. This is often all too evident to the users. In a product forum, those same users, are usually corresponding with people who DO know and use that program. Those users usually get help more quickly, and it is usually high-level help. I say this in praise to the "regulars" in those forums, who donate their time, their experiences and expertise, in hopes of helping others.
Personally, I want to support those people, in any way that I can, and there is an Adobe team, created and funded, just for that purpose. I hope that they can make their case effectively, and that all Adobe management will swayed to realize how useful and viable the Adobe Forums are.
OK, enough OT (albeit "forum" related) talk.
I feel that you are correct - as delivery technology changes, and new delivery schemes and formats will be required. One creating material for the various new devices, will need to re-educate themselves, and do copious testing. It is a never-ending spiral of learning and development.
As for the flashdrive, I use those often. The only time, where I use a file transmitting service, is when the client/recipient is not local, and there is an immediacy, that Fed-X cannot meet.
Good luck,
PS - I like your view on retirement. Thank you for sharing that.

..... irascibly, I've found that when something points to something being a
benefit to all, there exists forces that seem to repell it towards the opposite
direction, sacrosanct to what logic may dictate, and stranger, impractically
unfair and dare I say, intentional.
Money. Plain and simple, greed, "lining the pocket".
T/S for Adobe is cost-based, in fact, it's billed by the case if I remember
correctly. So when customers call in, these pseudo-"support reps" who consist
mostly of under-trained priviledged types, off-spring stock of the uppers and
department heads, I presume, spring into action by billing and billing and
billing until hearts content. Nothing gets solved quickly (purposely) and annual
support plans get re-instated at healthy profits, but most importantly job
security for those in that department gets extended for another say, 2 or 4
years or however long their grand scheme of "sales continuity" gets condoned by
the uppers in their very, intentional plan of profit making schemes, all on the
Case in point, I get irritated about these so called Adobe product updates: 4.0
to 5.0, now to 5.5. What makes me believe that they are not chopping up their
technological discoveries like drug dealers chop the purity of their product
thereby diluting the quality but tripling the quantity. You mean to tell me that
these uppers don't have a business plan laid out for the next 30 years, where
incrementally, they chip away at the consumer's wallet over time. pfft, pleease,
of course they do.
I think the forums threaten this business model, hence is why they delienate
from it. Just my 2 cents. - Andrew

Rondeau Makes 31 Saves
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Ryan Rondeau stopped 31 of 34 shots and kept the No. 1 Yale men's hockey team in a game they nearly escaped from with a dominating third period. After a pair of two-goal leads, No. 12/13 Union held on for a 3-2 win before a packed Messa Rink in ECAC Hockey play.
Rondeau, beaten by three real sniper shots - two on the power play - saw most of the action for the first 40 minutes with 27 saves. It was just the second time this season the Bulldogs (17-3, 11-2 ECAC) have been outshot (34-30) in a game.
Keith Kinkaid, who made 28 saves overall, needed a dozen in the final frame to hold on for the win as Yale outshot Union 13-4. He allowed two power-play goals on four attempts while helping the home team pull to within three points of the first-place Elis.
Kenny Agostino and Jimmy Martin were the two Bulldogs who got pucks past Kinkaid. Four different teammates had assists.
The first period was all Union (17-7-3, 9-3-1), and not just because the Dutchmen outshot the Blue 14-8. The home team had five or six grade-A chances that made the frame one of the best (13 saves) in Rondeau's career. To say Union was buzzing the net is an understatement. Wearing its throwback (1940s) uniforms, Union came out firing but left the ice with only a 1-0 lead.
Thirteen seconds into his team's only man-advantage in the period, Daniel Carr fired a wrister from the left dot that went inside near post at 11:02 for his 15th of the year.
Yale's only great opportunity to get one past Kinkaid was an Andrew Miller, point-blank snap shot from the left circle with two minutes left.
What more could Union want with a lead against the nation's top ranked team before a TV audience and a sold-out crowd at home while sporting the nation's second best defense? They almost didn't hold on.
It was two ticks off the clock on another Dutchmen power play midway through the second before it was 2-0. Wayne Simpson's (9th goal) sniper shot went top shelf at 7:12 and the Blue was in a in a two-goal hole for the first time in 2010-11.
"They've got the best power play in the country, you have to give them some credit," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. "They were geared up and won more races than we did."
The Bulldogs cut the lead in half at 13:39 on an advantage. Brian O'Neill carried over the blueline and picked up speed along the left boards. He spotted Agostino (9th) on the other side and put it on his stick. The most recent ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week one-timed the feed into the near side of the cage.
There could have been momentum from the Agostino tally, instead the Elis found themselves down two again just 40 seconds later. Adam Presizniuk's rising wrister from the left circle went over Rondeau's shoulder at 14:19. The Elis senior goalie had one save better than the first but with a few less grade-A chances.
Yale pulled to within one at 6:37 of the third when Martin, coming in from the point, one-timed a Denny Kearney pass on the power play. It was Martin's third goal of the year. There were plenty of other great chances to even the score.
Broc Little deked a defenseman and was alone in the lower slot with Kinkaid frozen, but the senior's shot was saved with 6:52 left. Rookie Jesse Root had the other grade-A attempt when he was alone in the left circle with 2:50 left, but his shot went wide.
The Bulldogs pulled Rondeau with 1:11 left and could not put sustained pressure on the net. The puck stayed along the boards and behind the net for the rest of the way.
"We knew we hadn't been our best in the first 40 minutes, but we believed [we could come back]," said Martin. "We didn't play well enough to win tonight and they made us pay for it."

Tip your Bowler hat to the original Lil' Flip. The Wolves were built for a short window, and that window has apparently slammed shut on their necks.
I'm saying this year's Wolves squad--with the return of Wally and the lost Neville brother, Troy Hudson, and the emergence of Eddie Griffin--was like some Ikea furniture or something. You got these pieces, the shit makes sense on paper, you think it should work, and by the end of the day you have a broken bookcase, a drinking problem and 6 extra screws. AND YOU CAN'T FIND THE ALLEN WRENCH! YAOMING?! (YO, OLOWOKANDI IS THE ALLEN WRENCH IN CASE MY METAPHORS ARE TOO FUCKING RAS KASS FOR YOU)
This team went into the season, restocked and loaded with a lineup that went 8 or 9 deep, in a Western Conference that was up for grabs for the first time this century. Flip's dismissal is sad and KG's apparent knee problems (that he is ignoring) are alarming. But perhaps most telling is the fact that in the beginning of the year, they were in the market for Jason Kidd or Shareef Abdur-Rahim, whereas now you've got this story . Now I know that sometimes the dudes at ESPN have to float shit to fill out column inches or whatever but let me just say that if this trade is consumated I am rolling up to Kevin McHale's like this man...
on some WHAT IS YOUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE!? type shit. Sprewell for Glen Robinson?!
One ray of sunshine today. The Wolves beat the Nets (golf clap, boys) last night, holding off a streaking Vince Carter. Garnett said this of interim coach/checkwriter Kevin McHale: "He's like a breath of fresh air right now. He's given everybody from A to Z confidence."
Yup. From Garnett on down to bench cozy, John Thomas, the shit is like Honey Apple potpourri. According to often dumbfounded center Michael Olowokandi, "McHale does a very, very good job at keeping us upbeat."
Yes, because you fucking guys were the number one seed in the West last year, you have the reigning MVP, and you have two extra above-average players returned to your arsenal this year, yet the sensitive contract demands of two Golden Girls have sent your team into a tailspin and cost your coach his job. But you need this horror movie villain...
To let you know that you're a special group of people.

There is absolutely nothing like Game On Sports Grille in our around Tucson. This is truly a neighborhood bar in the fashion of what I grew up with. We know the onwers, everyone at the bar makes you feel welcome and there is a real commoraderie here that is unlike other "corporate places" or local dive bars.
There has never been once that I have been here where the owner and his wife did not come out and say hi. Last evening I asked him if he could make a thin crust pizza and he said, "I'd be happy to make it myself for you. 20 minutes later out popped an outstanding thin crust pizza.
The food here is outstanding and made from scratch, and the owners do everything they can to keep the prices real low.
This is one of our favorite stops and perhaps the best overall value in town.

Whether it's an overabundance of space or a waning desire to do the upkeep on a large property, there are many reasons why people decide to downsize their homes.
Moving from a family home into a smaller property such as a bungalow, condo or apartment is first and foremost a significant lifestyle change. But with the right guidance, downsizing can also create several investment opportunities.
Downsizing reduces many costs including taxes, maintenance, heat and electricity. "So right away people can save money," said John Deakin, real-estate broker at Deakin Realty. "And freeing up capital or eliminating your mortgage altogether is hugely desirable. It's surprising how many people are still paying mortgages into their 70s and beyond; it's often a short-sighted mistake."
When a homeowner frees capital attached to a principal residence, there are several opportunities for investment.
"Every case is different, of course, but generally the best situation for everyone is to have no mortgage on the roof over their heads as soon as possible," Deakin said. "This provides security but also frees your home to become an investment vehicle as you can put a secured line of credit against the home and use that money for investment, thereby making those funds taxdeductible."
When it comes to investing that capital, people have a wide range of options. Owning a residential revenue property is one of them, although Deakin cautioned it's not an avenue best suited to everyone.
"There are a lot of people who shouldn't own revenue-generating real estate because they can't handle the unpredictability of it - and the amount of time and attention it can require," he said.
"If your plan is to buy a rental building, you should be someone who already knows about buildings and can be active in maintaining one. It becomes a hobby that generates nice returns."
Being inexperienced in this field can also lead to poor choices regarding the tenants you accept.
"It often happens that people rent to tenants they really shouldn't," Deakin said. "They feel empathy towards someone in a rough spot who just needs some help because their credit isn't great, and so on. These situations often don't end well for owners."
Aside from owning a rental building, there are other somewhat less daunting options for investing in real estate after downsizing your home.
One alternative is to find a smaller property or rental to live in, and rent out your family home.
"This is a great option for empty nesters," Deakin said. "Doing this eliminates closing costs and it's a much easier transition into owning a rental."
Knowing the property inside out is a big advantage when it comes to renting it.
"It's not like buying a building blind and six months in you realize the basement is leaking. Having lived there, your familiarity with the home is a big plus."
It can be very rewarding financially over the long term as well which, of course, is the ultimate goal.
"Let's say you have a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, with a two-car garage and 2,600 square feet, for example," Deakin said. "You can end up getting a nice monthly rent for it - say $3,000, depending on other factors such as condition and location."
When switching your principal residence into an income property, it's important to establish its value. That's because the difference between your purchase price and the value of the property when you switch it over is tax-free when it comes time to sell it.
"The first year or two after you convert it into a rental, the income isn't hugely significant," Deakin said. "But three or four years later, the income grows as your mortgage balance goes down - and interest on that mortgage is 100-per-cent tax-deductible because it's considered an investment."
Another income-generating option to consider when downsizing would be to purchase a duplex or triplex and live on the lower floor, while renting out the other levels.
"Living in a one-level space is a smart decision because the people looking to downsize are usually of a certain age," Deakin said. "So moving to a smaller space that has no stairs, or a limited amount of them, will allow people to live there for longer than would typically be the case in a multi-floor property."
If none of these options are suitable for your situation, it's also possible to sell your large home, move to a smaller property and use the remaining capital to purchase a second property as an investment.
"In this instance, the same principle applies regarding your mortgage," Deakin said. "You always want to have no mortgage on your primary residence. Instead, your mortgage should be on the investment property."
The only reason you would put any kind of a mortgage on your primary residence would be to offset the purchase price of the investment property, which can be done through a secured line of credit, he said.
While these are all valid and realistic investment options when downsizing, Deakin emphasized that there are many other avenues to consider outside of real estate as well.
"I help a lot of people who are in this situation and many of them just aren't in the head space to be owning real estate," Deakin said, "and that's fine. There are several investment options to explore outside of property. It's all about finding something that is realistic and provides security for you and your family."

OAKLAND — Four people were wounded Saturday morning after a 37-year-old man shot at a car and an occupant of the vehicle fired back on an East Oakland street, police said.
All of the victims are expected to recover in the shooting that happened less than a mile from St. Benedict's Church, where a gun buy back event was scheduled to start two hours later.
The shooting happened about 7:30 a.m. in the 8400 block of International Boulevard near a store that had not opened for business yet.
Police said a car going west on International stopped on the street and a man standing on the sidewalk began shooting at the occupants.
An occupant of the car returned fire. The first shooter was injured on the sidewalk, along with two other men, ages 35 and 41. An 18-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car was wounded.
The woman was driven to a hospital by a 17-year-old boy who was being questioned by police Saturday night. The three men were taken by ambulance to a hospital.
A motive for the shooting has not been established yet.

We are thrilled at purchasing this beautiful print of The Highlander. It is a gift for our daughter and her husband, whose father was born in Scotland. We had a custom mat and frame made for the print. It will make a wonderful conversation piece of art prominently displayed in their home. The photo of the print, as received back from the framer, still in it's protective plastic wrap. The frame is black with a red mat. Beautiful!

It Was Hell: Drag Queen Sues After Being Jailed In Women's Prison
"A man who dresses as a woman said the city of Nashville and the company that operates one of its prisons should pay him millions for putting him behind bars for three years with women. Karla Brenner said once the female prisoners found out he had male anatomy, it became a living hell. "The big hair, the makeup - I am an entertainer, a drag queen. That basically means a man who enjoys dressing as a woman. It's not a woman. I have no intention on being a woman - never, ever have," Brenner said. But when Brenner was convicted of felony theft for stealing a python purse in Green Hills, an already complicated life got more complicated. Brenner said he was told to say nothing, to pretend he was a woman and go to the women's prison. Officials said Brenner even checked a box that said he was a woman."- 4 News

Many products have numbers attached: megapixels for cameras, wattage ratings for stereos, cotton counts for sheets. A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research shows that consumers are heavily influenced by quantitative specifications, even meaningless ones.
"We find that even when buyers can directly experience the underlying attributes and the specifications carry little or no additional information, they are still heavily influenced by the specifications," write authors Christopher K. Hsee (University of Chicago), Yang Yang, Yangjie Gu, and Jie Chen (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China).
In the five related studies, researchers asked participants to choose between two options of digital cameras, towels, sesame oil, cell phones, and potato chips. In every study, participants preferred the products with the most specifications.
"The tendency to seek specifications is tested and confirmed in several studies involving different product categories. In one of the studies, for example, we asked participants themselves to generate specifications on the basis of their experiences," write the authors. "Hence, by design, the specifications carried no additional information beyond what the experience conveyed."
While the participants clearly chose products with more specifications, they didn't necessarily like the products more after they chose them.
"This research yields both theoretical implications for how preferences are formed, and practical implications for how marketers can use specifications to influence consumer choice and how consumers can resist such influences," the authors conclude.

Somewhere, Johannes Gutenberg is crying. The inventor of movable type and the man who introduced printing to Europe would undoubtedly be sad today to learn that the product of his beloved revolutionary press is on its last legs.
Certainly the slow death of books has been written about before, but with Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS) set to close up to a third of its bookstores over the next decade, it seems we're much closer to their demise than before.
A world without borders
Undoubtedly the success Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) has achieved in fulfilling the role of bookseller plays a role in the decision, but B&N identified the growth of electronic books as the key reason behind its decision to accelerate store closings. The downfall of Borders Group was just the herald of what was to come.
We've seen this play out many times in a number of industries over the years, as e-commerce has invaded the purview of the bricks-and-mortar business model. Investors (myself included) thought Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) would excel after the downfall of archrival Circuit City, but the gains quickly evaporated as it became apparent it was the growth of Internet sales, particularly at Amazon, that hastened the chain's death and not some more rudimentary issue with the chain's business. Best Buy itself now struggles to reshape itself to coexist with the online world.
Similarly, the record industry has become a quaint memory as music turned digital. While there's romance still attached to putting vinyl onto a record player and hearing all the pops and cracks, Apple's iTunes store and the myriad other digital download sites put that sort of audiophile into a nostalgic category all its own. One day we'll likely find that people like myself who find holding an actual book in their hands a wondrous and exciting feeling will be looked upon with the same pitying, knowing glances that accompany those we see flipping through vinyl records at some hippie's corner shop.
Rise of the machines
According to a Wall Street Journal article discussing Barnes & Noble's decision to cut its physical footprint, the largest publisher of consumer books, Bertelsmann's Random House division, says e-books account for 22% of its sales versus virtually zero just five years ago. And one rival says by next year e-books will make up half its sales, let alone what the industry will look like five years from now. Although B&N says it will have 450 to 500 stores in a decade, down from the 689 it currently operates, the actual number is likely to be a lot lower than that.
The bookseller opened no new stores in 2012 and just one in 2011. Though we may see one or two opened here and there in the future, gone are the days of its heady expansion along the way toward hitting a peak of 726 stores in 2008 as it opened 30 or more stores a year. Instead it will close 20 stores or so annually from now on to achieve a stable, more profitable size.
Book nook
Even though Barnes & Noble had to confront the popularity of Amazon's Kindle e-book reader by introducing its own Nook, it served to hasten the position it finds itself in today. But that effort is faltering, too. Sales of the e-reader fell over the holiday shopping season while Amazon's Kindle Fire HD tablet was the single "best-selling, most gifted, and most wished for product" on the entire site, the e-commerce leader recently trumpeted. Cyber Monday was the biggest day ever for Kindle sales.
While I'd like to see some hard and fast numbers accompany such glowing accolades (Amazon is notably stingy with real sales data), it's clear that not only is Barnes & Noble threatened by its advance, but so is Apple, which saw demand for iPads stall in the latest quarter. Some of that was no doubt due to demand for the iPad Mini, but that device in itself was a response to the popularity of the Kindle (maybe we should mourn the death of the e-reader, too).
Fit to print
It would be a greatly diminished world if there were no books in it that we could actually hold in our hand, smell the pages after cracking open its binding for the first time, and run our fingers across the words before us. But it's also possible that rather than lamenting a future without printed books as Barnes & Noble move suggests is before us, Johannes Gutenberg would really say Jeff Bezos is actually heir to his noble legacy and is bringing the gift of reading to a much broader audience than ever before.
That is the real lesson of the printing press, even if today it's a virtual one.

extract-curves 0.1.1
Extract Curves a simplistic GTK Ruby-based appliaction which can convert the raster image file result of a geometric-trace-producing process's interaction with the characteristic of motion of another (interesting) process into a list of rectangular coordinates (in raster image's system) representing the inferred characteristic of motion of the midline of an image blob. Blob recognition is done by color: * by maximum pixel neighbor-to-neighbor difference * by maximum difference from blob's average color * by maximum difference from a pixel neighborhood's average color (using RGB or HSV). Use other software to pre-process (e.g. enhance contrast, or even reduce to gray scale), but Extract Curves's skeletonization is done based on the hypothesis of a recognized image blob, as opposed to a collection of pixels. Output is human-readable (tab-separated).

I'm Joy and I'd probably be drinking a diet Coke or diet Dr. Pepper - from a fountain. Because fountain drinks just taste better than out of a can. And eating some pita chips with hummus - homemade, because I rock like that.
Grinning Cat, I'll definitely have some chocolate :) I love dark chocolate - it's the one real vice I have left.
Thanks Ruth for the invite!! I honestly forgot this community is here. I'm excited to join!!. So... my name is Terri I'm married to Larry and our kids are Carry and Harry.
Is it too early to try and be funny? One thing is correct... my name is Terri.
So it's around 9:30, I'm stretched out on our WAY too comfortable sectional w/my laptop where it's suppose to be ... on my lap. I'm listening to the dark french roast organic coffee brew and my mouth is literally starting to water.
Hope all are well!!
I am apt to have a travel mug of spiced black tea at hand in the afternoon, and my last snack before bed is DAAARRRK chocolate.
Wow! Tab...a blast from the past. I didn't know they still made that...lol. Hi Mari! good to meet you.
Right now, I am making pulled pork, and cole slaw. I think we will probably have some sun tea, if I get it out there quick enough.
Hi, I'm Iain.
In front of me you would find a mug of tea, (white with one), and to keep it company, a bacon butty.
My names Leela and I love rubbish. But as I'm supposed to be on weight watchers depending on what sort of day I'm having you'll either find me with some fruit and water or a ton of choc and lollies.

You might be living life in the fast lane, but should you be living it on the top floor? With an ever-growing trend for penthouse living, many people are choosing to switch the townhouse for all the benefits of having their feet firmly off the ground.
Penthouse apartments are located on the top of a building, normally in city centres. They're highly sought after thanks to their often luxurious and modern features and reputation as a status symbol. Here are the other benefits of having your own home in the clouds.
One of the undeniable bonuses of living on the top floor is that you have more privacy than any other apartment in your condo. It's quieter and more exclusive than living at street level in a house too, as you're elevated out of the crowds and away from much of the noise. There's also almost no chance of being overlooked. The most sought-after penthouse apartments often have plenty of outdoor space for this very reason; with roof gardens, terraces, outdoor dining and Jacuzzis.
The penthouse apartment is typically the largest in the condominium, giving you plenty of space to play with. Some penthouses run over more than one floor, others take up the full space that houses two or three apartments on lower floors. The outdoor space is usually much larger than a balcony too, so you can live inner city without compromising on your garden. This makes them great for families or simply living in style.
Living in a penthouse apartment means you can be in a city, while being out of the city. This gives you the best of both worlds, with easy access to city centre attractions and amenities, yet a quiet and calm living space. If you're living a hectic life with a demanding career, it's good to know that you can get away from it all the moment you walk in the door.
If you like contemporary style, a luxury penthouse apartment is definitely the right place for you. Most penthouses are relatively new in build and interior design, so you can expect lots of glass, plenty of light, expansive views, and open-plan living spaces.
Living on the top floor easily lends itself to a luxury lifestyle. Penthouses usually boast high-spec amenities, the most modern furnishings and added features typical of condo living, such as potential pool and gym access and a lift. The view is another luxury that cannot be ignored; rarely does a town house offer such a dramatic and attractive panorama.
At Engel & Völkers we're experts when it comes to urban living spaces. If you're looking to purchase a new luxury apartment or grand country home, visit our website or pop into your local Engel & Völkers shop.

26 years in baseball, and Legion commissioner Keith Melick has seen it all.
Legion commissioner Keith Melick had a lot on his plate at Sportsfield Monday during the Diamond Jaxx 9-8 win over Geiger Ready Mix. He was filling in for his scorekeeper who was running late, cuing up the between-inning music, and making arrangements for an 86-year old Legion alum to play in the league's all-star alumni game July 4. All that while enjoying a monster nacho and chatting with a reporter. But there's no stress, just sweat from the heat, and some baseball. You get the feeling that Melick, a baseball lifer, wouldn't want to spend summer nights any other way.
LVT: What about this all-star game?
KM: It's on the Fourth of July here at Sportsfield and starts at noon. We'll have the current all-stars verses alumni. Most alumni played recently, but we'll have college-age all the way to 86-and-a-half years old with Hersch (Chapman, owner of Lavery's downtown).
LVT: There are only three Legion teams this year. Why the low turnout?
KM: One reason is there's a new league this year with younger high school kids, and those kids would normally play Legion but now they're waiting. You also have the cost, which is around $200 a kid. We hope to have maybe seven teams next year. The two years before this we had five teams. Even though there's not as many teams this year, these guys will still face lots of different teams because of tournaments and we'll bring in other legion teams from outside the area.
LVT: You've been around baseball a long time (Melick is in his 26th year as an umpire). Do the players seem better now or then?
KM: There's more talent now. We've always gotten college and occassionally pro scouts out here, usually when we host tournaments. There's a lot of young players working on stuff for the next high school season. The fastest pitchers will throw up to the mid-80s, and every pitcher has developed a couple secondary pitches, like a slider and curveball.
LVT: You've been commissioner for eight years now and umpiring for 26 years.
KM: It's a lot of fun. We stay busy. My wife hates it when summer rolls around (laughs). I do this and then umpire for high school, junior college, and am starting Big 12 next year.
LVT: Will either of these teams do well in the tournaments at the end of the season?
KM: Diamond Jaxx is a projected state team. They only lost one guy last year and they play together. Both of these teams will gel and get better as the year goes on. It's a fun thing to watch.
Legion baseball plays twice a week, with games usually on Monday and Thursday/Friday at Sportsfield Park.

text: USDA Data Blackout Will Turn Heads October 7, 2013 10:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email While producers are focused on harvest, the absence of key USDA reports on Friday will certainly turn heads, experts tell the U.S. Farm Report Market Roundtable. Crop production and WASDE reports had been scheduled for release Friday, yet USDA announced today they will be delayed as the shutdown of the federal government enters its second week. "It's something that us as traders and farmers were kind of looking forward to, and we may not have the opportunity to see that," says Joe Vaclavik, Standard Grain. "I think that the longer this shutdown goes on, the bigger the impact is going to be." Little market volatility occurred during the first week of the shutdown, but it's feasible that the late release of these big reports coupled with other news down the road might create some instability. A number of private firms are publishing their own figures, but USDA's numbers are different. "That's the objective number that you and I pay for in terms of our tax dollars obviously supporting USDA, and it will be missed," says Brian Basting, Advance Trading. "I think that's going to be something that will catch their eye. Right now, their focus is on harvest." Meanwhile the downturn of corn and wheat prices coupled with the relative stability of soybean prices might mean producers consider adjusting their crop mix to include more beans heading into 2014, Vaclavik says.

Working in the Public Interest is a student-run conference at the UGA School of Law. Every spring public interest law students bring practitioners from around the world to Athens, Georgia to speak about pressing issues of the day in public interest law. The purpose of WIPI is to create a forum where public interest law students can bring the issues that matter to them to the table. Attendees of the conference are given great networking opportunities with professionals in various fields of public interest law.
WIPI seeks to bring together eminent practitioners in their respective fields, students, and faculty to discuss practical approaches to lawyering that promote social justice and human rights for all. The Conference seeks to highlight dynamic, creative ways to combat social injustice through advocacy and the law.

Panel Descriptions
9:00- 10:00
Session 1: The History of Forcible Removal of Children in the US
Child welfare agencies currently remove children of color at rates double and triple their proportion of the population. Panelists will discuss the historical removal of Native, African-American and Latinx children as well as how to improve conditions today.
Session 2: Reforming Cash Bail Bonds
Many people charged with misdemeanors await trial while in jail because they cannot afford the bonds set by the magistrate guidelines, often for longer than the sentence if they were found guilty. Panelists will discuss the historical context of cash bonds and what is currently being done to fight them.
Session 3: Connecting Children and Incarcerated Parents
Incarcerated parents are significantly more likely to have their parental rights terminated simply due to their incarceration. Panelists will discuss how to combat TPRs, advocate for visitation, and ensure case plan services are being provided.
Session 4 Session 4a: Advocating for Housing and the Homeless
Almost half of the homeless position has a history of incarceration, often for offenses causes by their shelterless status. Panelists will discuss ways to fight anti-vagrancy charges, housing discrimination, as well as ways to advocate for better transportation options for disenfranchised populations.
Session 4b: Advocating Against the Child Welfare System [Trial Advocacy CLE]
Parents are often forgotten within the child welfare system which focuses on the best interests of the child while disregarding the constitutional rights of the parents. Panelists will discuss unnecessary removals, defining reasonable efforts, and ensuring personalized case plans through trial skills.
Session 4c: Advocating Against Pre-Trial Incarceration [Trial Advocacy CLE]
Pre-trial Incarceration, especially for misdemeanors, often results in incarceration far beyond the potential sentence if found guilty, and is almost always due to the inability to post bail. Panelists will discuss advocating for lower bonds, non-cash bonds, and diversion options through trial skills.
WIPI Awards
In 2007, the WIPI Executive Board established the Milner S. Ball Lifetime Achievement Award to honor practitioners that have dedicated their careers to public interest work. The award is named for Professor Ball, who founded UGA's Public Interest Practicum and inspired many UGA students to pursue their interests in public interest law.

Candidates for the award should be current law students, who did not receive compensation or monetary reward for their efforts. Work performed in clinics, internships, and externship for class credit is acceptable.

Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Magnetomotive Molecular Nanoprobe
The diagnostic, interrogational, and therapeutic potential of molecular nanoprobes is rapidly being investigated and exploited across virtually every biomedical imaging modality. While many types of probes enhance contrast or delivery therapy by static localization to targeted sites, significant potential exists for utilizing dynamic molecular nanoprobes. Recent examples include molecular beacons, photoactivatable probes, or controlled switchable drug-releasing particles, to name a few. We have developed a novel class of dynamic molecular nanoprobes that rely on the application and control of localized external magnetic fields. These magnetomotive molecular nanoprobes can provide optical image contrast through a modulated scattering signal, can interrogate the biomechanical properties of their viscoelastic microenvironment by tracking their underdamped oscillatory step-response to applied fields, and can potentially delivery therapy through nanometer-to-micrometer mechanical displacement or local hyperthermia. This class of magnetomotive agents includes not only magnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles, but also new magnetomotive microspheres or nanostructures with embedded iron-oxide agents. In vitro three-dimensional cell assays and in vivo targeting studies in animal tumor models have demonstrated the potential for multimodal detection and imaging, using magnetic resonance imaging for whole-body localization, and magnetomotive optical coherence tomography for high-resolution localization and imaging.
