Changing the Game with Torq Conectiv and M-Audio
The renowned scratch DJ reveals how M-Audio's Torq software is helping him take his DJ game to the next level
Like all genres of music, DJ culture is constantly reinventing itself as new artists and technology come along and shake up accepted norms. The digital revolution is sweeping today's DJ scene just as it did the recording industry. DJ Revolution—known for holding down the decks on the internationally syndicated hip-hop radio program, The Wake Up Show, and lending his scratch techniques/production skills to artists like Dilated Peoples, Canibus, Chino XL, Tha Alkaholiks and more—was one of the first DJs in the hip-hop scene to ditch his vinyl records in favor of some of the earliest digital DJ systems. While instantly recognizing the advantages that computer-based DJ rigs offer over traditional hardware, he and other forward-thinking performers had to deal with the steep learning curve and stability issues that plagued these early setups.
All that changed when DJ Revolution got his hands on M-Audio's Torq Conectiv hardware/software system with Torq Control Vinyl. After experiencing its stability, ease-of-use and creative options, he chose Torq Conectiv as his new performance platform. Amidst his busy schedule, we caught up with Revolution to discuss Torq Conectiv and its impact on the remarkable transition to powerful computer-based performance rigs in today's DJ scene.
What initially attracted you to digital vinyl systems and specifically Torq Conectiv?
With vinyl, I could only bring a limited amount of music with me, and I was always restricted in where I could go genre-wise in a set. I actually went on this club tour where British Airways had lost all of my records and I had to do a couple of gigs on other people's records. When I came back, I swore that I would never bring crates of records overseas or anywhere ever again. So that was pretty much it. Once I started using Torq with Torq Control Vinyl and I realized how I could use it to take my craft to the next level, there was no turning back.
With other systems you can do only so much. With Torq, there's no limit to what I can do. Now I can customize things to a point where my set is 100 percent unique. There is no one else who will have a set like mine and play music like I play it and do the things that I'm doing. It's so customizable with the optional vinyl and so much more fun than the other systems. That's really what it's about for me.
Specifically, what aspects of the Torq software enable you to take your DJing in a new direction?
There were a couple of things that caught my attention. First, the built-in effects and the fact that you can stack VSTs on each deck is great. Right there, you've got so many options for changing up your tracks and adding a new dimension to your set. The built-in sampler is amazing. The ability to create snapshots and save all of your level and effect settings and then recall them on the fly is amazing. All of it is pretty mind-blowing. And this is the first software that makes all of that possible.
When you switched over to Torq, how long did it take before you felt comfortable performing with it?
I was ready to go in a week. There is a very substantial search engine built into Torq so you can filter things out if you're looking for a specific track. It's really extensive, and it's pretty simple. Even if you were new to DJing with a computer, you'd only need to spend a couple of days learning the software. Once you get all of your music transferred over, you're pretty much there.
What is your opinion of the SynchroScience Control Vinyl? How does the feel and response compare to standard records?
It's night and day compared to other digital vinyl systems. When I really got into it and started messing around with it, I realized just how different it was and how much better it was than the other systems. The response—the tracking and the feel of the vinyl—is spot on. It feels almost exactly like a real record. You can't ask for much more than that.
When you tour with Torq Conectiv, what is the response like from other DJs and the audience?
When I first jumped into digital vinyl systems, people seemed a little confused by it. But that's changed quite a bit. Everyone seems to be really excited about it. I think the rest of the world is finally catching on. For me, this is this system I've been waiting for because it's going to allow me to do things that I couldn't have even dreamed possible a few months ago. What's so great about this system is the idea that it will work for both the professional, forward-thinking, creative DJ as well as people who just want to come to the club and spin a few records. This is for everybody, and it's really fun to use.

Saturday • October 15, 2011 • NYCREPLAY Broadcast
SUPPORT This Historic Conference
Remarks of Jamia Wilson
Vice President of Programs, Women's Media Center
October 15, 2011
I extend gratitude to the organizers of today's event and to all who are gathered here today, to honor the legacy of Anita Hill's brave stand for equality. Professor Hill's endurance and resilience has inspired my generation to stand up for ourselves, live authentically and to trust in our outrage in the face of grave injustice.
I'm here to speak about "witnessing" the hearings through the media as a "tween" and share how they ignited my "click" moment of feminist realization and my development of my personal identity as a young black feminist.
Prior to Anita Hill, my definition of women's rights extended mostly to what impacted me personally. I believed that I was just as smart as any boy and was annoyed that boys were called on more often in class than girls. I didn't like having to stand outside of the men-only record store in Saudi Arabia where I grew up while my dad entered alone to buy me censored Janet Jackson CDs. Of course, it was difficult having to rely on my dad or taxis to drive us everywhere, because women were not and are still not permitted to drive in the Kingdom.
I remember knowing that I was a Democrat, because I accompanied my family to progressive campaign events. I recall attending a civil rights march to challenge the wrongful firing of an African American teacher in North Carolina. However, I had no real connection to feminist mobilizing or organizing until the Thomas hearings.
When I was contemplating my remarks for today, I reflected on my friend Jamil Smith's tweet and Facebook message in the aftermath of Troy Davis' state-mandated murder. Jamil tweeted:I AM NOT TROY DAVIS, but I could be. Later Jamil and I spoke about it and he said that if he made a t-shirt, it would say: "I AM NOT TROY DAVIS. But I could be. And it scares the crap out of me". Reflecting on his wisdom, I immediatly thought, I AM NOT ANITA HILL. But I could be—and it scares the crap out of me.
And this is why witnessing the hearings as an eleven-year old child, impacted me and transformed my view of the world and my place in it.
It was a year after the Gulf War rattled my community, causing me and my family to briefly leave our quiet expat existence, return to America and watch the battle on TV. 1991 was the year I watched Thelma and Louise with my parents on a bootlegged tape that was passed around our compound in Riyadh. That film and the Hill hearings introduced me to the grim reality of a victim-blaming, rape-shaming culture. When I think back to what I witnessed and experienced during the Anita Hill trial, I remember a lengthy road trip with my parents to visit family and friends in Georgia and South Carolina. We were back in the USA visiting after an eventful year in Saudi Arabia where we had lived for about five years.
I recall riding in my father's new jeep, listening to the start of the hearings on the radio for the entire ride. At the time, I wasn't aware of exactly how historically important Anita Hill's testimony would be to my life and the lives of women across the nation. But I was aware that it must be pretty critical for my dad to opt to hear the testimony over his usual soundtrack of Motown, Old Soul and gospel during our trips.
I remember my parents being focused on every word, drawn in by the banter, and I recall them cheering on the testimony of progressives with claps and cheers. As progressive professors, my parents were the kind of so-called "uppity blacks" Clarence Thomas was claiming to be in solidarity with in his desperate quest to fuel fear and garner sympathy.
I also recollect sitting in the back seat pretending to read the Baby-Sitters Club while leaning in, listening, and wondering what Long Dong Silver was and thinking that I might never drink a Coca-Cola again.
After hearing the first day of the hearings on the radio, we spent the next few days watching it in hotel rooms and in the homes of friends. I recall thinking about a play I had seen, The Crucible, and contemplating the dreadful way former Senator Alan Simpson and Orrin Hatch interrogated Hill, resenting her credibility, decency, intelligence, and, most of all, it seemed, her race and gender. As Hill was accused of flat out perjury and Simpson warned us to "watch out for this woman," I became aware that we were living a modern day witch-hunt rather than the so-called high tech lynching described by Thomas.
My mom has always said that I was born thirty-five. I guess she was right. I always fought to make sure I sat at the adult table because all of the juicy conversations happened there. At dinner, a family friend brought up the hearings and constructed Thomas as a martyr in need of being saved by all "conscious blacks". He felt the need to protect his honor with the same vigor as he would his own. He saw him as a black man who was paving the way for others to "arrive" and achieve the same sort of upward mobility in spite of his conservative outlook.
I cringed when he said that he thought Anita Hill was lying and that she was just angry because Clarence Thomas dated white women. He presented the possibility of a conspiracy theory between Hill and "the white establishment," designed to block Thomas from his rightful place in the Court, in an act of resentment towards all black masculinity.
At that moment, I wasn't thinking about how to unpack all of the baggage connected to his assertion, but I knew it created a knot in my stomach that panged and made me feel as if someday, I too could be marked a traitor if I somehow stepped out of line by challenging patriarchy within my community and beyond. I understood then, that for some, being black was about normalizing and celebrating black masculinity at all costs, even if this erased or undervalued the realities of black women.
Without knowing it, I was getting an introductory education about Intersectionality 101. It was here when I retorted, "well I believe Anita Hill. I believe her, I am a feminist ." I remember it as clear as day because he laughed, took a swig of Crown Royal and looked around the dinner table at the other adults. He gave me one of those "isn't she cute" pats on my head and said, "Lawd, she said she's a feminist. Girl, you are not a feminist. You could maybe be a womanist if you are anything at all and you don't even know what that means. I had not yet been acquainted with the theories of Alice Walker, Kimberle Crenshaw, and Pat Hill Collins, but I knew that it was wrong for him to tell me who I could and couldn't be and how to define myself—it was decided then, I was certain, that I was a feminist—and a womanist too once I found out what it meant.
Anita Hill made it possible for me and many others to feel empowered to speak up. She fought to reveal the truth without fear in spite of being portrayed as an attention seeking race traitor by some, and jezebel stereotype by others. The character assassination she experienced and its impact on some of the disparaging words I heard friends, schoolmates, and family furthered my faith in the truth of her testimony.
Yesterday, I was moved when I saw the Occupy Wall Street video about an approach to building a movement and creating a new world together through consensus. Even though the Occupy Wall Street isn't perfect and has its own work to do to transcend the clutches of hierarchy and oppression , I imagined what Hill's hearing would have been like in a true democracy—in a society free of patriarchy, heterosexism, ableism, racism, and white supremacy. Clarence Thomas would have never been confirmed, and the justice that would be appointed and confirmed to the highest court in our land would be more like you, like me, or perhaps Professor Anita Hill.
While it is often demoralizing that we still have a long way to go, I remain hopeful. I'll continue to work diligently to amplify women's voices and hold media accountable for victim-blaming and shaming and change the conversation in the media with the Women's Media Center because I AM NOT ANITA HILL—but I could be.
Thank you.
Jamia Wilson

Shopping for the sake of shopping
It's no wonder I found myself in debt, and that I stayed there for so long.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
When I was a boy, my family had a series of dogs: a Saint Bernard, a Shih Tzu, a golden retriever and a whole host of mutts. Because dogs will be dogs, and because we lived in the country far from anything, our dogs would sometimes begin barking . . . and continue barking for minutes. Or hours. When this happened, my dad would shake his head and say, "That dog is barking for the sake of barking."
"Barking for the sake of barking" started as yet another silly father-ism -- I'm sure your family has some too -- but it morphed into something more. Whenever somebody did something irrational, we'd say they were "blanking for the sake of blanking."
As most of you know, I used to be a compulsive shopper. I lived beyond my means. I used credit cards to fund a lifestyle I couldn't afford. Though my wife and my family tried to get me to change my ways, I wouldn't listen to reason. And, of course, one day my father told me, "J.D., you've got to stop. You're shopping for the sake of shopping."
He was right.
It made me feel better
As a younger man, I spent to feel better about myself. I spent to keep up with my friends. I spent to have the things I felt that I deserved. And often, I would spend for the sake of spending. What do I mean?
Many times I'd leave the house with the sole purpose of shopping. I wouldn't have anything specific in mind to buy -- I just wanted to spend money. I wanted the satisfaction of bringing home something new. I'd decide I wanted new comic books, for instance -- even though I hadn't read everything I already owned -- and so spend a Saturday afternoon going from shop to shop. I'd come home having spent $50 or $100 on new comics, most of which I'd never read. (Post continues below.)
Or other times, I'd be in a store and I'd just buy things almost at random. They were things I wanted, sure, but wanted only in the mildest sense. For example, maybe I thought a voice recorder looked interesting, so I'd buy it -- and never use it. Or I'd grab a couple of impulse items in the checkout line.
When I did these things, I was shopping for the sake of shopping. Somehow, in some way, this spending made me feel better. It was the act of shopping itself that made me feel good about myself.
Obviously, that's not sustainable. It's no wonder I found myself in debt, and that I stayed there for so long. It was only as I began to control my urge to shop for sport that I was able to start digging out of debt.
Now good habits are ingrained. I find it difficult to go shopping, even when I need to. It used to be a way for me to feel better about myself; now I derive satisfaction from other activities, like exercising or learning Spanish. That's not to say that I never make impulse purchases -- because I do -- but spending is no longer a way to boost my self-esteem.
High fidelity
It has been a long time since I went shopping for the sake of shopping. I intentionally steer clear of recreational spending. But recently my friend Paul dropped a line to see if I wanted to go record shopping with him. Against my better judgment, I agreed.
Longtime readers know that I'm something of a Luddite. Though I love the bleeding edge of modern technology, I also cling to the past. I have a record player and hundreds of records that I've acquired over my lifetime. Despite the advances in technology, I've always had a record player -- since I was 5 or 6 years old.
For a long time, it was tough to buy new records. Sure, I bought lots of old vinyl at garage sales and thrift stores, but new albums? They just didn't exist. That's changed over the last few years. As people like Paul rediscover the joys of vinyl, there's a growing market of old fogies like us who actually enjoy the nicks and pops. They impart a sense of nostalgia.
So, Paul and I headed out to do some record shopping. We visited a handful of stores to leaf through the record bins. He walked away with several treasures. In the olden days, I would have done the same. This time, though, I was proud of myself. Even though I was shopping for the sake of shopping, I was smart about it.
- I shopped from a list. Before we had left, I made a list of a few albums I wanted to buy. I stuck to that list.
- I didn't let myself get caught up in the emotion of the experience. In the past, that would have been a recipe for disaster. The fun of shopping would have made me want to spend more, and that would have led to shopping momentum, etc. This time, I kept my emotions in check.
- I ate first. Some of you may think this is silly, but I'm one of those who tend to overspend when hungry. I made sure we stopped for lunch before we entered a record store. I'm glad I did.
Ultimately, I bought only one album: Carole King's classic "Tapestry" (which I'm listening to even as I type). I spent only $3 and came home with a record that was on my list. Ten years ago? I would have come home with a dozen or more records, most of which would have gathered dust. Ten years ago, I would have spent for the sake of spending. I don't do that anymore, and it makes me happy.
Do you shop for the sake of shopping? Have you in the past? What tricks do you use to cope with an urge to spend? Or are you one of those lucky folks who can wander through a mall without ever being tempted to buy anything?

By Melissa Capers
When America was attacked on September 11, 2001, among those responding
were the leaders and staff of 18 organizations newly chosen to be
the first grantees of SAMHSA's National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative.
Catalyzed by the urgent need created by the events of September
11, and enabled by SAMHSA funding to collaborate, cooperate, and
respond, these organizations came together immediately and effectively-transforming
the effort from Federal initiative to national service organization
in record time.
"The National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative was developed
to help us learn about and maximize trauma recovery among children,
and the attacks of September 11 were a vivid reminder of just how
essential these programs are," said Robert E. DeMartino, M.D.,
Associate Director of the Program in Trauma and Terrorism within
SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services. "Through the grant
application and review process, SAMHSA had access to the very best
people who could respond to the trauma caused by these attacks.
Our job was to call on them and support them in giving their best
to the communities affected."
Funding availability for the National Child Traumatic Stress (NCTS)
Initiative was first announced in May 2001, and grants were awarded
in September of that year. The Initiative aims to improve the standard
of care and access to services for traumatized children and their
families. It is designed to foster collaboration by establishing
a national network of centers that cooperatively identify and develop
effective treatments and services for children affected by trauma;
collect clinical data on child trauma cases and services; develop
resources on trauma for professionals, consumers of mental health
services, and the public; develop trauma-focused public education,
professional training, and field-development activities; and in
so doing, improve treatment and services for all children and adolescents
in the United States who have experienced traumatic events.
The architecture of the NCTS Network created by the Initiative
is embedded in a three-tiered grant structure:
An infusion of supplemental funding later allowed the NCTS Network
to double in size, to a total of 10 Intervention Development and
Evaluation grantees, and 26 Community Treatment and Service Centers.
According to Dr. Pynoos, the funding structure "provided a
unique opportunity to integrate the scientific rigor of the academic
centers with the wisdom of community-based service providers."
Grants were made for 3-year periods, beginning October 1, 2001.
Grantees were asked to build into their proposal a 6-month planning
period, and to address specifically the ways in which they intended
to collaborate and support the NCTS Network and the National Center
for Child Traumatic Stress.
Back to Top
The 6-month planning periods that grantees had scheduled were dramatically
cut short by the events of September 11, 2001. Not yet officially
announced when the terrorist attacks took place, the NCTS Network
nevertheless provided a resource of expertise and experience that
quickly mobilized to action.
"Ten minutes after we got notice of our award, we were asked
to establish and lead a Traumatic Bereavement Task Force,"
recalls Judith A. Cohen, M.D., Project Director of the Allegheny
General Hospital Center for Child Abuse and Traumatic Loss, an Intervention
Development and Evaluation grantee.
This Task Force, comprised of New York City NCTS Network sites
and other Initiative sites with related expertise, quickly developed
four main goals:
Dr. Cohen reports that the Task Force members provided and quickly
accessed a "diverse wealth of information regarding the exposure
of children to traumatic grief." She and her colleagues at
Allegheny General Hospital had already developed treatment manuals
for individual and group treatment of children age 5 to 15. National
Center Co-Director Pynoos had likewise participated in the development
of a group treatment manual for adolescents.
The Traumatic Bereavement Task Force members reviewed the two treatment
manuals and provided critical feedback and suggestions to assure
cultural sensitivity and to incorporate the special aspects of the
September 11 attacks. The manuals were then revised and distributed
to more than 200 child trauma treatment professionals in New York
City; Washington, DC; Pennsylvania; and other areas.
At the request of the Task Force, guidelines for treating traumatic
grief in preschool children were developed by another Initiative
grantee, the Early Trauma Treatment Network at the University of
California at San Francisco, under the leadership of Alicia Leiberman,
Ph.D. These guidelines were reviewed in fall 2002 with the aim of
distributing them to professionals this summer.
Task Force member organizations also used SAMHSA support to leverage
funding from the New York Office of Mental Health Services, the
New York Times Fund, and the Silver Shield Foundation. Through combining
these funding sources, Traumatic Bereavement Task Force members
were able to conduct and videotape "train the trainer"
workshops for professionals who treat New York City children, and
to begin randomized treatment trials of Dr. Cohen's manual. Robin
Goodman, Ph.D., and Elissa Brown, Ph.D., of the New York University
Child Study Center (another Intervention Development and Evaluation
Center) are conducting the randomized trials of the manual in collaboration
with Dr. Cohen and her colleague, Anthony Mannarino, Ph.D., in Pittsburgh.
"It is incredible," says Dr. Cohen. "In less than
a year, a manual was developed, revised, and distributed. More than
100 kids have been evaluated thus far, and a controlled research
study is underway." According to Dr. Cohen, "This is the
first known randomized and controlled trial specifically evaluating
the impact of alternative treatments on childhood traumatic grief."
September 11 brought "unanticipated pressure to bear" on the NCTS
Network, reports Dr. Cohen, with results that might be compared
to the results of fission, or the way that pressure transforms a
seam of coal into a diamond. In the same way, the urgency of September
11 formed an immediate culture of collaboration and cooperation.
Grantees based in New York City began to work together in an accelerated
way, and the Traumatic Bereavement Task Force brought together professionals
from grantee organizations across the country in a way that would
not have happened in the absence of such an emergency.
The NCTS Network functions through a web-like structure of task
forces and committees, through which various grantee organizations
communicate and collaborate on projects of special interest, particular
needs of the Network, and/or particular issues in child traumatic
In addition to the Traumatic Bereavement Task Force, the Network
supports a Forensic Medical Examination Working Group to establish
ways to begin immediate therapeutic interventions for children receiving
forensic medical examinations for sexual abuse, and a Complex Trauma
Task Force to explore approaches to the assessment and treatment
of children and adolescents with complex trauma histories.
Several committees focus on cross-cutting issues including data
operations, measures, and training. The Child Sexual Abuse Task
Force and Early Childhood Training Task Force each seek to enhance
trauma treatment for children in these defined target populations.
These task forces and committees necessarily overlap. Grantees
in the Forensic Medical Examination Working Group, for example,
clearly have a special interest in the work of the Child Sexual
Abuse Task Force, and may even serve both groups. Similarly, grantees
working on developing a training curriculum for childcare providers
will likely access the expertise of network members addressing various
traumas in order to develop the best blend of age appropriate, trauma-specific
information. These multiple and varied linkages keep the NCTS Network
cohesive, and prevent development of exclusive pockets of interest
or expertise.
The relatively recent emergence of the field of child traumatic
stress helps to invigorate the NCTS Network. "The treatment of child
traumatic stress is a fairly young field," explains Dr. Pynoos.
"It was not until the late 1970s that professionals even began talking
directly to children affected by trauma." From that point on, professionals
recognized the need to communicate with one another, share knowledge,
gain a greater understanding of how trauma affects children, and
establish effective treatments designed specifically for traumatized
children and adolescents.
Reflecting on the influence of the September 11 attacks, Dr. Pynoos
observes, "In the same way that wars have brought attention to the
effects of combat trauma, the events of September 11 have brought
to the forefront the horrific impact of trauma on children, as well
as on adults."
As the healing from September 11 is woven more completely into
the fabric of the Nation's life, the task of the National Center
and the NCTS Network will be to continue their original mission
of education, training, and service, and to assure that the national
learning that resulted from this tragedy is not lost as time passes.

David Cassidy and his wife are divorcing after 23 years of marriage, reportedly due to his problem with alcohol.
Sue Shifrin-Cassidy, 64, filed for divorce from the onetime heartthrob, 63. The two had been living separate lives for some time. Sue is Cassidy's third wife, and as per her Facebook page she's a beauty cream consultant who went to Miami Beach High School. The couple have one son together, Beau, a 23-year-old singer/songwriter.
Cassidy has been arrested on DUI charges three times in the last four years and spoke to Entertainment Tonight from rehab on Feb. 5: "This has been a very difficult time for me battling this deadly disease, like millions of others in the country."
As of last month, the former Partridge Family star was still trying to unload his condo in Fort Lauderdale, according to Zillow.com.
Used & abused?
Terrell Owens couldn't make his marriage stick either, but his union seems like a bit of a sham. The ex-NFL player got hitched to postal worker Rachel Snider last month, and it's already over. Snider told TMZ that Owens only married her so he could qualify for a $2 million home loan. "I felt in love...and now I feel betrayed and heartbroken," Snider tells TMZ. "We had a secret relationship for five years, and I married him for love."
Let's talk about sex
Even though Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner has denied reports that her estranged husband Bruce Jenner is taking steps to undergo a sex change, the Olympian's two teen daughters seem a bit out of sorts. " Kylie and Kendall just don't know what to think. It's extremely confusing for them to grasp. There is just no denying Bruce's recent physical changes, and he does look more feminine," an insider told RadarOnline. A picture of Jenner emerged Monday that revealed a much smoother neck, thanks to a laryngeal shave, and a feminine, blown out hairstyle.
Money trouble
Too many shopping trips or is it plastic surgery? Baywatch babe Donna Derrico has fallen on hard times — for a celebrity, that is. RadarOnline.com unearthed court documents that the actress only had $20 to her name. In paperwork filed in the Central District of California, the 45-year-old ex-wife of Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx said she had assets totaling $413,574.74 and liabilities totaling $947,332.22. Derrico listed almost $600,000 in legal debt and a credit card debt at more than $20K. Sixx pays her $7,800 a month, plus 5 percent of all earnings for the more than $2.1 million that the 55-year-old rocker makes annually. Nice prenup!
Blast from the past
Garry Trudeau may be taking a leave from Doonesbury to focus on Alpha House, his Amazon Instant Video political comedy starring John Goodman, but don't mourn the Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip just yet. Beginning March 3, entertainment in the form of Doonesbury Flashbacks will be available Monday through Saturday in The Miami Herald, going back to the early years. "With 43 years of material to draw from, there are still some 13,000 strips that haven't been seen since they were originally published," said Trudeau, 65, in a statement.

Flooding Poses Traffic Challenges for Fireworks
July 02, 2013
Flooding will pose some challenges for this year's Red, White, and Boom celebration. Today, the Davenport Police Department announced River Drive east of Gaines Street will be open again tomorrow, but probably only to one lane of traffic. The road west of Gaines Street will remain closed because of high water.
Police Chief Frank Donchez says the police and fire departments will also have extra patrols around the flooding in LeClaire Park. "I know you think it's easy. You know, you're gonna wade in the water, and let your kid play in the water. But it's a dangerous situation and we are absolutely asking that people do not go in the water down in LeClaire Park," he said.
He says the best place to watch the fireworks is anywhere there isn't water.
Drivers may want to avoid Centennial Bridge tomorrow. Between 9 a.m. and midnight, only one lane will be open in either direction to set up the fireworks display. It will be closed completely between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. during the event.
Donchez says patience will be the order of the day. "With that many people, obviously things don't always move as fast as you'd like them to move. So please be patient with your fellow citizens that are watching the event, and please be patient with your police officers who are giving you direction as they move forward. They're just trying to help you get out of here in a safe manner," he said.
Second Street in Davenport between Ripley and Harrison streets is closed today until Sunday, for both Red, White, and Boom and the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival.

My feature story on the rise of LA Galaxy forward Jose Villarreal discusses how the teenager rose from Inglewood to becoming one of the Galaxy's key contributors in 2012.
However, there were plenty of great words said about Jose's story that couldn't make the story. Not to fear though because I can provide those words here on the LA Galaxy Insider blog.
Below are a series of quotes from Villarreal, Galaxy Associate head coach Dave Sarachan, South Bay Force head coach Todd Saldana and Galaxy Vice President Chris Klein on the youngster.
(On what people told him as he was growing up…)
VILLARREAL: "They just said that if I keep working hard and listen to my coaches that I would get far and I guess I did listen to my coaches."
(On his trials in Germany...)
VILLARREAL: "I was on trial in Germany, but I just wanted to come here and play for my home crowd and be close to my family. Then I got my chance to play with the Galaxy and now I'm very happy here."
(On the affect that Villarreal has on the Galaxy Academy…)
SARACHAN: "It's massive, the way that this league is headed with the Academy structure and in the very big picture; this is what goes on around the world. So now, we feel that this radius around LA and north and south of LA has got so much talent, but they need to be trained and put in the right environment. These guys are testament to that, that in a professional environment they can thrive."
(On the advantage of living in Inglewood for Jose…)
SALDANA: "One of the advantages for that for Jose is that he's played a lot of soccer. I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing a game with us and then playing with his older brother during the week playing pick up soccer. He's a kid that played so much because that's the environment that he grew up in. They toughen up a little younger; their dads are always trying to get them into their league and the next level of play once they show signs. That's the big advantage of Jose's play is that he has that street soccer mentality plus living where he grew up there was a league during the week and over the weekend where people were always asking him to play. I don't think that in the traditional soccer arenas, you see kids that grow up in that environment. They go to their weekly practice and league game, this is a guy that wasn't only seeking out soccer but had it available to him 24/7."
(On how often that he stays in contact with Villarreal…)
SALDANA: "As often as possible...[recently], him and his mom came out to my U-14 boys practice and came by to say hello and were in semi regular contact, but most importantly right now I is checking in to see how he's doing."
(On Villarreal's family...)
KLEIN: "His family is a very nice family. There's three brothers, we've had two of them that have come through our system. His younger brother (Jaime) is with him and with them, his parents are very supportive and they care a lot about their kids. It's one of the reasons that the two of them have been very successful soccer players because they have the family dynamic where they don't intrude, maybe. I think that's the best way to describe it and that's what [Jose] has."
Jose Villarreal's life has changed dramatically in just span of two months. The LA Galaxy Homegrown player has quickly developed from youth prospect to one of LA's key contributors.
To investigate Jose's rise, I wrote this feature on the teenager from Inglewood. I'll have a little more on the piece momentarily including the quotes that couldn't make the piece.
Features like this will become a weekly occurrence on LAGalaxy.com ranging from a wide variety of topics.
Without the services of Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley, the United States fell 2-1 to Jamaica in a World Cup Qualifier in Kingston on Friday.
The Americans scored just 35 seconds into the match as Clint Dempsey tallied for the Americans. However, the Reggae Boyz roared back with goals from Rodolph Austin in the 23rd minute and Luton Shelton in the 62nd (Highlights of the game can be found here). The USMNT take on the Jamaicans again on Tuesday, September 11th at Columbus Crew Stadium.
Meanwhile, in MLS action, there is just a single game today between the Seattle Sounders and Chivas USA at 1pm, but it carries serious playoff implications for the LA Galaxy. If the Sounders win or draw today at CenturyLink Field, they will have clinched a playoff spot for the current leaders of the Western Conference, the San Jose Earthquakes. San Jose are currently leading the Supporters' Shield race at the moment and would be the first MLS team to clinch a berth in the postseason.
More to come later in the day.
CARSON, Calif. -- On the heels of adding Swedish International Christian Wilhelmsson, the LA Galaxy appear to be closing in on another signature, this time of the Homegrown variety.
According to LA Galaxy Under-18 defender Oscar Sorto, the Galaxy and the right back from South Central Los Angeles are currently in discussions over a potential Homegrown contract. Sorto, 18, has been training with the Galaxy's first team for the last month shortly after returning from a training stint with Swedish club Hammarby IF. Sorto has earned considerable praise from the Galaxy players and coaching staff during his stint with head coach Bruce Arena describing Sorto as a "good player and I think that he has a future with our team."
When asked after Friday's training session about whether he could potentially turn his training period with the Galaxy first team into a Homegrown deal, Sorto admitted that the negotiations are taking place.
"Right now we're talking about that," Sorto told LA Galaxy Insider. "I'm from South Central and it would be really big. I've been watching the Galaxy since I was little, Cienfuegos played here and he's a role model for us Salvadorans so it would be great playing for the Galaxy."
When reached for comment, Galaxy Vice President Chris Klein told LA Galaxy Insider that "We don't comment on any type of negotiations until anything is finalized."
LA Galaxy midfielder Dan Keat was an unused substitute but New Zealand began their campaign for the 2014 World Cup with a 2-0 victory over New Caledonia.
Shane Smeltz and Chris Wood scored as New Zealand picked up the first victory. Keat and New Zealand continue their campaign on Tuesday, September 11th against the Solomon Islands.
Keat has one appearance for New Zealand having participated in a friendly against Jamaica on February 29th.
Robbie Keane and the rest of Ireland's national team began their qualification campaign for the 2014 World Cup in a big way on Friday with a dramatic come from behind victory over Kazakhstan.
Down 1-0 in the 89th minute, the Irish struck back as Keane drew a penalty and slotted in the equalizer. A minute later, Irish forward Kevin Doyle scored the game-winning-goal to put Ireland in the pole position in Group C, a group that contains European heavyweight Germany as well as Sweden.
Keane's goal comes after the Irish forward delivered an interview to the Irish Independent wherein the LA Galaxy forward admitted that he considered retiring from International play after several of his Ireland contemparies goalkeeper Shay Given and midfielder Damien Duff announced their retirement from the Irish squad. However, Keane commited his future to the Irish for the foreseeable future for as long as they are interested in his services.
"I thought about it," Keane told the Irish Independent. "And when Damien and Shay decided to go that way, it was a sad day for Irish football because they've been two of the best players this country has ever seen.
"But the thought of never putting on a green jersey again was quite difficult for me to come around to. Even now, I'm dreading that day. I'll keeping playing on while I'm fit and healthy and as long as the manager picks me."
CARSON, Calif. -- Christian Wilhelmsson has arrived in Southern California and the Swedish International is hoping to make an immediate impact for the LA Galaxy.
During this piece, I spoke about how Wilhelmsson fits in with the team as he prepares for his American adventure.
However, Wilhelmsson had plenty more to say, below are his thoughts on Los Angeles and how it relates to his previous experience in Saudi Arabia.
WILHELMSSON: "So far, I haven't seen so much, it's like where I come from. Very hot and a lot of traffic. [he last played in Saudi Arabia]. When I start to see other places maybe it'll be a bit different."
(On playing in Saudi Arabia…)
WILHELMSSON: "I've said it before that it's a surprisingly good level. It was very hot. As a player it's not that different from other places. You have your games, you have your rhythm and your routine….It's the same all most everywhere, but for the family, maybe it's different with things to do, but not that much."
(On cultural differences…)
WILHELMSSON: "Culturally, you have to know what is going on, how to be there. You learn quite fast. I tried to be as open as possible and try to respect them. It's not a problem at all. I've been in a lot of places now and to adapt is one of my qualities."
(On whether Saudi Arabia was difficult for his family…)
WILHELMSSON: "Of course, it was difficult in the beginning, but she [his wife Oksana] got used to it and she enjoyed it with me."
(On whether he knows David Beckham, Robbie Keane or Landon Donovan…)
WILHELMSSON: "I played against David two times (Sweden vs. England) and Robbie as well with the national team. Donovan, I'm not sure if I know him personally."
CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan isn't quite back from his nagging hamstring strain, but the Galaxy captain is targeting a return to action during LA's next match on September 14th against the Colorado Rapids.
On Thursday, Donovan caught up reporters for the first time since departing for U.S. national team duty -- where he picked up the strain during the friendly against Mexico -- and discussed his recovery.
Read my piece on Donovan's aspirations to return to action during LA's next match.
CARSON, Calif. -- The high-powered LA Galaxy offense got yet another weapon this week with the addition of dynamic winger and Swedish International Christian Wilhelmsson.
Among those impressed with the move is Galaxy captain Landon Donovan, who expects to be on the receiving end of several crosses by the Swede once he returns from a nagging left hamstring strain. Donovan spoke to the media about the Swede and his own health following Thursday's training session.
Below are Donovan's thoughts on the Swede...
DONOVAN: "I've only seen him train once now and we all know his resume speaks for itself, but I think that it's low risk and potentially really high reward for us. We're fortunate at this club that we get a number of players that reach out and want to play here. It's a big advantage for us and if he can help us along the way then it will be great."
(On the depth that Wilhelmsson adds…)
DONOVAN: "We saw our depth last week, we were able to put really our second team on the field and really hammer Puerto Rico here. So that's going to be important, we know that's important, we learned that last year and you never know what happens. Robbie's gone a couple games, David wasn't training today, I haven't been training so guys need to be ready to step in and that's been a really good quality in this team over the last couple years since Bruce has been here.
(On MLS' perception in Sweden…)
DONOVAN: "I think that Sweden is an underrated national team in the world, I think that they have some very good players and we're hopeful that one of them can help us here. I think that it's good that they want to come and play here and I think that you're going to see more and more of that."
(On Wilhelmsson proving that MLS is an underrated league…)
DONOVAN: "It's probably similar to the Swedish league, I think when you don't know a lot about it, you just assume that it's not very good. So, I think that the more high quality, high profile players playing here the better because it helps spread the word about how good this league is."
(On Wilhelmsson giving LA their first true wide player…)
DONOVAN: "It gives us an added element that maybe we haven't had as much. I think that Hector [Jimenez] does a good job of providing that when he's playing. He gives us an ability to get wide and to get crosses in front of the goal for a long time, we had Eddie Lewis and Chris Klein here who were more typical wide players, but we've kind of gone away from that. Our style of play is a little more different and if you can have players that can provide that it's really helpful because you can't just clog the middle and worry about the guys in the middle. You need to pay attention to the guys wide and that'[s something that can be helpful down the stretch."
(On whether he'd be playing more at forward because LA has that wide presence…)
DONOVAN: "Probably, the good thing now is that we're getting Edson [Buddle] back in the fold. Jose [Villarreal] played well, [Jack] played well in the game against Puerto Rico so we do have some depth at forward, but there's a lot of players in the midfield vying for minutes and my guess is that I'll be primarily used up top."
(On the team developing more dimensions and perhaps more than last season…)
DONOVAN: "I think that the early part of the year, as bad as it was, was really helpful and I think that it made it really clear, how to be successful and if we don't do things the right way, then you're not going to be successful. And now we're in a really good groove where we understand what it takes. We were talking about how much impact our young players have had this year and it's really impressive that we have probably 25, 27 guys who could probably play in most teams in this league. It's a credit to Bruce and what he's done and Curt with the reserve guys
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may be in the midst of a two week break from MLS play, but there will be no rest for forward Robbie Keane, who has joined up with Ireland for World Cup qualifying.
Keane and the Irish will begin their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign on Friday against Kazakhstan as part of a two match stint hat includes a friendly against Oman in London that the Galaxy forward will not take part of. The Irish face quite the challenge as they are drawn into Group C against Germany, Christian Wilhelmsson's Sweden, Austria, Faroe Islands and the Kazakhs. The top team from each of the eight groups will qualify automatically while the runners-up take part in a two-leg playoff match.
Below are Keane's thoughts about Ireland's World Cup qualifiers….
KEANE: "I'm looking forward to seeing the lads again. We've got a long trip to Kazakhstan and obviously, I don't know too much about them, but I look forward to seeing the guys again and hopefully start to getting back to winning ways with them."
(On rebounding as a nation from a challenging European Championship…)
KEANE: "I think that as a nation, it's important that we qualify for every tournament. That needs to start now; we sort of qualify for one and then miss out for ten years or so. That's not good enough; we need to [qualify] every two years or every four years. It's important for our nation that we qualify for these tournaments."
(On the squad's depth…)
KEANE: "It's pretty much the same squad that we have. There aren't many players that have come in, obviously, Shay Given and Damian Duff have retired so, but there was already players in the squad anyway that would take their place so there is not really a big change from a few months."
(On whether he is in better fitness than his teammates who just started their season..)
KEANE: "Yeah, obviously, their season has just started a couple weeks ago. I've played a lot of games and whether that's good or bad, I'm not sure."

Readers' comments (5)
"several firms require a law degree and some will not even consider candidates who have not completed the LPC" yet they expect you to not be looking for a training contract? Firms cannot expect the best qualified candidates to stay in paralegal roles forever; if they are recruiting these people it is inevitable that they will eventually want to move on/up.
Yes I agree but , I think you just have to find a way to not show that that is all you want. I think they prob just want you to be open to the career you're applying to. So when they ask why you want to work there, you don't say "I think it will be good experience to finally gain a TC" but "I am really interested in exploring other legal careers". Don't ask if there is room for you to move into a training contract, instead inquire about the structure of the firm. Chances are if they only have a small intake of trainees they prob will often opt to hire from within. Also see if they advertise trainee roles on their website - if they don't, they prob recruit from within.
O'Connell says: "A general benefit of paralegals, apart from lower costs, is that firms can get very good people to do good work without the hassle brought with solicitors, such as requirements for continuing professional development, professional indemnity insurance (PII) and close Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) scrutiny."
I don't understand this comment.
If a paralegal screws up - it's on the firm's insurance.
Furthermore the paralegal is indirectly regulated by the SRA. It is it likely the firm will be held responsilbe should the paralegal start breaking the Solicitors' Code of Conduct.
Furthermore, the SRA can 'black list' a paralegal, by banning firms from employing them.
@anonymous 8:31am: I believe Paralegals still have to have PII but it is only around £400 while for a solicitor it is several thousands! The other things you've mentioned go hand-in-hand with practicing the law in general - nothing to do with being a paralegal - just the things that could happen to any type of legal practitioner.
O'Connells comment merely states that hiring a paralegal is less hassle compared to a solicitor. If a solicitor or paralegal screws up obviously that would be a hassle.
What planet is the Institute of Paralegals on!! First of all Paralegals should be required to do CPD as it is a fantastic why of updating oneself in a particular practice area. Secondly is it me or is the Institute condoning the exploitation of paralegals. If paralegals are doing more complex, high level work then they should be paid reasonably for such work. This organisation should follow the example of its American counterpart. In the USA paralegals are much more regarded and paralegals are seen as a professionals alongside other lawyers unlike in the UK. In the UK being a paralegal is not seen as a career in itself but organisations such as CILEX are doing great things to promote the work of paralegals. paralegals are a useful resource as most paralegals are eager to impress and prove their worth also it is a great way of gaining a training contract with an employer especially when working in-house.

Tonight, Paul McCartney will be the new lead singer for Nirvana, Eddie Vedder will be part of Pink Floyd
At tonight's 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert in NYC, there will be lots of big names on hand to perform, including a couple combinations that could be very interesting to watch. Paul McCartney will be joining Krist Novaselic and Dave Grohl, essentially making McCartney the lead singer of a briefly re-formed Nirvana, and Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder will be teaming up with Roger Waters on some Dark Side of the Moon songs. Ow my head.
Blizzard is selling WoW in-game kitten pets to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy
As time goes on, there's never any shortage of new in-game pets in World of Warcraft. But the latest pets, a cute little cinder kitten, will be sold by Blizzard to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy. So not only do you get an awesome pet for your Orc or Panda, all the money goes towards a good cause.
The cinder kitten pet is currently not for sale, but will be in the coming weeks.
NYC weed delivery services have seen a boom in business since Hurricane Sandy
In a city of eight million, where weed isn't legal, but the cops have much better things to do, when the power goes out and public transportation is shut down, you're stuck in a dark apartment with nothing to do… why not get high? So it's not surprising to hear that New York City weed dealers and delivery services have been doing pretty damn good business since the hurricane.
Help a bad ass tattoo artist and his family out, post-Sandy
My good friend, and long-time tattoo artist, Xavier and his wife got hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. They evacuated as instructed and moved as much of their stuff as possible, but lost essentially everything. There's a small campaign to help them get back on their feet and get a some basic supplies for them and their children. Anything helps, and if you're ever in NYC I'm sure he'll hook you up with some new ink or buy you a beer.

A Man Lies Dreaming
My new novel is out October 23rd from Hodder & Stoughton. The official announcement is here.
Pre-orders are available from Amazon and Waterstones.
Deep in the heart of history's most infamous concentration camp, a man lies dreaming. His name is Shomer, and before the war he was a pulp fiction author. Now, to escape the brutal reality of life in Auschwitz, Shomer spends his nights imagining another world – a world where a disgraced former dictator now known only as Wolf ekes out a miserable existence as a low-rent PI in London's grimiest streets.
An extraordinary story of revenge and redemption, A Man Lies Dreaming is the unforgettable testament to the power of imagination.
Jesus and the Eightfold Path now in e-book!
My novella, Jesus and the Eightfold Path, was first published as a free serial online. Then Immersion Press brought out a hardcover edition limited to 200 copies. These have sold out and seem pretty hard to get (prices on Amazon marketplace seem to start at $190), so – finally – we got an e-book edition out!
Available on Amazon and Amazon UK, and soon on Nook and Kobo etc. Here it is!
THREE WISE MEN CAME FROM THE EAST for the infant Jesus in The New Testament. Three brave companions accompany the Buddha in the Chinese classic A Journey to the West. Could they have been the same three? Guided by a star, three strange companions arrive in the barbarous land of Judea to seek a newborn child–a possible messiah to some, and the reincarnation of the Budda to others.
When the child's life is threatened, his family and new guardians escape to Egypt, returning years later, to a Jewish land on the cusp of annihilation by the Roman Empire.
Once a general in the Judean army, now a Roman agent, Josephus Flavius is sent by Caesar back to his home land to observe and report on the actions of the troubling young man now preaching sedition in the Galilee–a boy with the unsettling powers of kung-fu…
Their lives would collide in a cataclysmic confrontation between Romans and Jews, between empire and rebels–and change the world forever…

The World Cup
I was sure I posted it a long time ago, but it seems to have gone missing, so anyway, my one football story, for the World Cup. Sort of.
The Elders of Safed
By Lavie Tidhar
In Israel, when a winter is particularly savage, when something hadn't happened in many years, such as freak snow or a tornado, they say that even the Elders of Safed don't remember such a winter. There is a caveat. The cynics add that the Elders of Safed can't even remember what they had for breakfast that morning. That is not true.
Safed lies in the mountains above the Sea of Galilee. It is the home of kaballah, the secret, mystical wisdom of the Jews. It is (with the exception of Jerusalem) the closest place to heaven, on Earth. Its residents paint the walls of their houses blue. Old men float down the street, deep in concentration, hovering several feet above the ground. Rare flowers blossom on street corners and grow upside-down and send bright petals blowing across windows and fill the air with the scents of Africa and Asia and Atlantis. There are alligators in the water supply. At certain times of the morning one can spot a herd of elephants, half-translucent, crossing the main street. An old English lady takes tea with God every afternoon in her backyard.
The Elders of Safed know when the sun will set and when it will rise, and have calculated down to several decimal points when the last ever sunset would be, and the time of the messiah's arrival, which they keep secret but say, when pushed – 'Don't you worry, it won't be any time soon.' The Elders of Safed read the book of the Zohar every day and grow their beards long and some of them never cut their toenails. The children of Safed play soccer in the streets and they never stop to think that the Elders of Safed must have been children once, too, and were made to wash and go to bed early and weren't allowed to get their shorts muddied. Every morning the Elders of Safed communicate telepathically with the monks of a hidden monastery that lies in a secret valley in Nepal, and they discuss the Overall Plan, and argue theology. Every four years the Elders of Safed watch the soccer world cup and lay bets and they use all their secret wisdom, but despite everything Israel had never made it past the preliminary stage.
Coming to America!
Osama in Europe
Osama was out last year in several European countries, and subsequently I found out that:
- In Germany, my translator, Juliane Gräbener-Müller, is nominated for the Kurd Lasswitz Prize, in the Best Translation category, for her translation of Osama (pub: Rogner & Bernhard).
- In France, my cover artist, Pedro Marques, is nominated for the Prix Imaginales, for his cover of Osama (pub: Panini/Eclipse).
This is fantastic news – Pedro's cover was the last thing I expected for Osama, but as soon as I first saw it I knew it was absolutely right – I love that 1950s Penguin paperback vibe it has, that cool modernism. It ended up being used on the mass market paperback, the French, and the German editions of the book and was previously nominated for a BSFA Award.
As for Juliane, I can't judge the German translation myself, but it's been an utter pleasure working with her (and indeed, with everyone at Rogner & Bernhard, who have been amazing throughout), and I'm delighted to see her work recognised – in fact, I wish translators were recognised a lot more than they usually are, and it's great to see the Kurd Lasswitz has a special category explicitly for translators.
Fingers crossed!

If you missed the Lambrecht Chevy Auction in Pierce, Nebraska two months ago you're in luck. 18 of the antique wonders were never paid for and that means you have the opportunity to bid.The Lincoln Journal Star says a bidder from New York who bought 14 cars claims a truck driver disappeared with his money.One Nebraska buyer apparently died, another lied and a woman from Illinois simply vanished.
There's a 1960 Chevy Corvair 4 door sedan with only 1.7 miles on it, a few Chevy Impala's, a 1962 two door Sport Coupe and several others.You can only get the cars online through Proxbid. The auction ends November 24th.
(SIOUX CITY, IA) Shortly after 11 Saturday night, firefighters were called to 907 Court Street for a fire.

Check out our new support options here. Please refer to this blog post for more information.
I currently bring in a part of my header using the following:
{if logged_in}
{exp:template_morsels:fetch name="header_logged_in"}
{if logged_out}
{exp:template_morsels:fetch name="header_logged_out"}
It seems that Template Morsels is processing both morsels. Is this because it processes all morsels it finds in the template? Is there any way to change this behavior?
Hi Jim,
From my understanding, I believe both morsels are processed first because {exp:...} tags are parsed before conditionals such as {if logged_in}. Have a look at the parse order documentation for more details.
To get around this you could use third-party add-ons, such as Switchee, to get around this parse order issue, or maybe even use PHP (on input) to check if the user is logged in
Simple conditionals get parsed before ee tags. That why is you use a "if logged_in" conditional followed by a "if logged_out" conditional only the true one gets parsed. That's not what seems to happening with TM.
Using this code:
{if logged_in}
{exp:template_morsels:fetch name="header_logged_in"}
{if logged_out}
{exp:template_morsels:fetch name="header_logged_out"}
Template debugging shows this:
(0.020353 / 1.06MB) Tag: {exp:template_morsels:fetch name="header_logged_in"}
(0.020446 / 1.06MB) No Closing Tag
(0.020564 / 1.06MB) Tag: {exp:template_morsels:fetch name="header_logged_out"}
(0.020660 / 1.06MB) No Closing Tag
I had a discussion about {if logged_in} on Twitter, tested some code on my side, and checked out Low's excellent slides from EECI on parse order just to be sure. The slides can be seen here:
Have a look at slide 80 and proceed to slide 86. {if logged_in} is an advanced conditional, except for when it's placed in a {exp:channel:entries} loop, where it is parsed along with the {exp:channel:entries} tag.
That seems to explain why both morsels are parsed.
Thanks for pointing that out. I have seen it before but I missed that part.
I've been spending time trying to get my head around the parse order to take advantage of the parsing order in my current redesign. Just when I think I've got it figured out, I find a new twist.
Thanks for helping me make progress.
I've refactored that part of my template to avoid advanced conditional.
Sounds good
Glad I could help. If we're good here, is it alright to close the thread?
Yes, please close the thread. You have answered my question.
Thanks. I'll close the thread then, but feel free to post again if you have other questions

Following up on a story we brought to you a couple of months ago, the iron fertilization project in the discount propecia rx South Atlantic Ocean has not produced the results expected by researchers.
To recap, the project by British scientists aimed to best viagra alternative increase the amount of carbon dioxide-absorbing algae in the ocean off of South Georgia Island by adding extra iron to the water. Ideally, the extra algae would remove a large chunk of CO2 in the atmosphere and www.aumm.nl then sink far below the surface, permanently sequestering the CO2.
As expected, great amounts of algae did bloom, but there was an unexpected glitch. Instead of the algae sinking to the bottom of jaygalbraith.com the ocean, they were eaten by copepods, which were then eaten by amphipods, which meant a lot less CO2 was absorbed and sequestered than thought.
Basically, the CO2 that was removed was "almost negligible" as one researcher put it. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Watching this documentary shot in Northern Uttar Pradesh makes one want to redefine the term "heroine" in Indian films. Sampat Pal, founder and leader of Gulabi Gang, leads the pink sari-clad women who travel long distances by cart, tractor, bus and train pursuing justice for women and Dalits. Undeterred by sneering policemen and condescending bureaucrats, the Gulabi Gang has started a remarkable, impressive crusade for justice. Whoever thought that feminism is a Western domain of some intellectual ladies will be proven wrong.

Albany Dougherty Drug Unit Agents say some drug dealers will stop at nothing to escape capture. They are now sharing dashcam video showing two suspects leading agents on a high speed chase through South Albany Wednesday afternoon.One of the suspects jumped out of the speeding car, and it was all caught on tape.As seen from the Albany Dougherty Drug Unit dash cam, a suspect jumps from a white car while it's going about 35 miles per hour. After he stops rolling, the suspect, holding a backpack, starts running to a house. Drug agents say they have seen it before.A.D.D.U. Commander Major Bill BerryThe chase started around 1:20 p.m. Drug agents got a tip that drugs were being sold from a white Mazda with a Florida tag, and soon spotted a car that matched that description.The driver took off when agents tried to pull the car over, speeding through neighborhood streets in South Albany."That's the dangerous part," said A.D.D.U. Commander Major Bill Berry, "that they have no regard for people that were in the neighborhood [and] the streets. [They were] busting stop signs, cutting across heavily traveled roads. It puts their lives in danger, the officers chasing them in danger, and it puts people just innocently in the neighborhood in danger."The chase reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour, when suddenly the passenger jumped out. Officer Richard Norman, driving this car, made the split second decision to stop the man on the run."The passenger opens the door, falls out, hits the ground, takes off running, said Norman. "Running south so what I'm going to do is try to cut him off south of his location. If he was still running south he would have come out right here."But agents say 34 year old Denevious Morman instead ran right into his house, where officers found him."Had some abrasions on his legs and arms from where he fell as he jumped out of the moving car and skinned his side up. The clothes matched up to his abrasions, and it's the same thing we see here in the video," said Berry.Drug agents found marijuana and crack cocaine in that backpack in Morman's house, and he was charged with possession and intent to distribute. They say they can't explain why he chose to jump out of the car right in front of his own home, but the video tells the story.Drug agents lost that white Mazda while capturing Morman, and tonight they are still searching for it. They know it's a rental car, with Florida tags.Agents say the arrest was thanks to the tip called in by a concerned citizen.They encourage people to let them know about drug activity.You can call the Albany Dougherty Drug Unit at 430-5150.
