It may be that one has learned the laws that govern arithmetic; but it is not at all clear why one would want to look at one of the operations in separation, i.e. what the generality of the concept might be good for.

I don't buy this. As has been noted by others before, IO is a very special case, in that it can't be defined in Haskell itself, and there is no evaluation function runIO :: IO a -> a. I'd rather use a simple example like Maybe (modeling failure as an effect). It can be completely understood even as a beginner, and is non-trivial enough to demonstrate the utility of the concept 'monad'. Cheers Ben

Over the past two weeks, at least three separate plans to bailout the MTA have surfaced including tolling the city's East River Bridges and other plans to impose hundreds of dollars in new auto registration surcharges. Proponents argue that it is time for drivers to "pony up" and pay their "fair share" to help rescue the MTA. However, as this debate gets underway all those concerned should know the facts about what drivers pay to support the MTA.
Supporters of new tolls and car taxes argue drivers don't pay enough. But how much is "enough"? Right now tolls are 300 percent of what it costs to operate existing MTA bridges and tunnels. On the other hand, bus and subway fares currently cover only about 50% of the system's operating costs.
In fact, about $600 million per year in MTA toll revenue goes directly to support bus, subway and rail operations and those toll subsidies help make New York subways and buses a bargain. Thanks to the introduction of MetroCard and associated discounts including free transfers, only a fraction of transit riders pays a full $2.00 fare. According to a recent New York Times analysis, New York transit riders pay an average of only 86 cents per trip while those in Washington pay $1.25 and those in Philly pay $1.08. A separate assessment found that, as a percentage of income, MTA users pay 2.1 percent of the fare while transit users in London pay 3.3 percent.
Further, drivers from all corners of New York State, many far from MTA's reach, chip in to support MTA by paying hundreds of millions of dollars annually in state gasoline taxes, license fees and auto registration fees to support MTA operations.
In addition to new tolls and fees, the state commission recommending new tolls wants to go one step further by putting future increases on autopilot. Under the plan, the MTA would have the unbridled freedom to tap your wallet. Tolls and transit fares would rise automatically with inflation, and without the opportunity for public input. Shouldn't the MTA have some obligation to the public to demonstrate its need to increase tolls and fares, particularly after its previous fiscal management led to the need for a bailout? How about a little accountability?
Supporters of MTA bailout plans express concern about the impact of fare increases on the public, but say that drivers do not pay enough. Yet we know that drivers pay about $1 billion dollars in tolls and gas taxes to MTA transit already and will now be asked to pay an additional $600 million. Will enough ever be enough?

I am 48 years old. I have had speratic periods for about 5 months. Is it normal to spot for a week or so instead of having a full period, also my breasts have bnn tndr as well.
It is common for menses to become very light, such as spotting. That is normal. Spotting in between menses should be discussed with your clinician. Many women have an increase in breast tenderness during perimenopause because of the fluctuating hormones.

quote:Originally posted by 6starRayme & BT, I don't want to sound like an old grouch, BUT a pork tenderloin sandwich is NOT made with any variety of pork chops (especially not ground ones)! It is made with a pork tenderloin. I guess it is a Midwest thing (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa especially).You buy the cut of meat called a pork tenderloin, slice it cross-grain in 1" to 2" thick slices and then pound it very thin. Then you bread it with flour, egg, cracker-crumbs or bread-crumbs like you would fried chicken and pan-fry in about an inch of oil (turning it over when the first side is beginning to brown) or deep fry it until crisp on the outside. We have several places around the Peoria area that brag about how large theirs are, and they can get to be the size of a dinner plate, which means that, even with an oversize bun, there is more outside of the bun than underneath it. It is normally topped with your choice of catsup, yellow mustard, dill pickle slices and onion slices, though I have known some people to use lettuce, tomato slices, and mayo on it. Places reviewed on Roadfood.com serving tenderloins are: Cecils Cafe in Marshalltown, IA; Kirkwood Corner Coffee Shop in Des Moines, IA; Smitty's Tenderloin Shop in Des Moines, IA; Gnaw Bone Food and Fuel in Gnaw Bone, IN; Mr. Daves in North Manchester, IN; Mug & Bun Drive-In in Indianapolis, IN; and Nick's Kitchen in Huntington, IN. A pork chop sandwich or a ground pork sandwich or a pork fritter sandwich (UGH) are all something else!

ayersian Amy & I visited B&B last August for a BPT. It was delicious but not my favorite of the ones we tried. Its breading was thick and "smooth" after frying, and personally I prefer the thin and "bumpy" textures more. I loved the personality of B&B, though; the counter guys were joking with us the whole time and gave us samples of new products they were testing out. I can't wait to return there! Chris

Odds Comparison by AFL Odds:
|Brisbane Lions
Western Bulldogs
Brisbane's final home game of what has been an eventful season is against a rejuvenated Western Bulldogs.
Brisbane is coming off a comfortable 60 points win last week over GWS, their second win in the past month but missing from their side this week will be key-midfielder Simon Black who is serving a one game suspension.
Coupled with Jonathon Brown's injury, the Lions are missing some key players.
The Bulldogs boast three wins from their past four games including victories over Carlton, West Coast and last week, a 17 point win over Adelaide (131 – 114).
The game was in the balance heading into the final term but the Bulldogs, displaying new belief in themselves, finished strongly and full of running.
It was the highest score registered by the Bulldogs this year, surpassing their previous mark of 127 which coincidentally, was set against Brisbane back in round 1.
Whilst there's nothing at stake bar pride for these two teams, they've both indicated in the past few weeks that they are committed to finishing the season to their best of their ability which will make this clash a good one.
Given the recent form of the Bulldogs, they represent great value at the $2.50

AFL Lions chairman refuses to stand down
Brisbane Lions chairman Angus Johnson has refused to stand down despite being challenged by a rival ticket led by AFL great Leigh Matthews.
Johnson said it was in the best interests of the club if he remained as the club continued its search for a replacement for coach Michael Voss who was sacked last week.
Former triple premiership-winning Lions coach Matthews has joined forces with Brisbane directors Paul Williams and Mick Power in a rival ticket that will challenge Johnson.
While Johnson's fate initially looked set to be decided at an emergency meeting, Matthews' ticket will not get a chance to topple Johnson until the club's AGM in December.
Johnson refused to stand down when challenged by Williams and Power at a Lions board meeting on Wednesday morning.
"This came as a surprise," Johnson said of the attempted coup.
It is understood Matthews, Williams and Power have the support of Lions powerbrokers who have lost faith in Johnson since Voss' sacking and want to launch a fresh push to secure former Sydney premiership-winning coach Paul Roos.
A successful coup could result in Matthews being ushered into a football director's role at the Lions.
Matthews said he had knocked back several approaches to return to the Lions since sensationally ending his coaching stint in 2008.
However, he changed his tune and decided to join a ticket when convinced the club's best future was under a Power-Williams led board.
"My jump over the cliff was when Paul and Mick said they were going to run for the chairmanship and deputy chairmanship," he told The Courier-Mail website.
"I know these people well and believe in what they are doing.
"I'm on because of them and I believe I can help."

Many professions need licenses - manicurists, limo drivers, masons and so on. If you're in a profession requiring a license it's important to keep your license current and in good standing. This includes promptly paying any fees, keeping up with any continuing education requirements and filing reports to show that you've attended classes.
Licensing Requirements for Barbers
The sight of a red and white swirling barbershop pole strikes up a nostalgic vision for many people - for men, an old-fashioned shop. Until recently in New Jersey, all barbers had to have a cosmetology license in addition to a barber's license. Complaints that barbers lost employees and business made the group take a stand.
Barbers spent a lot of time and money to become trained and licensed in salon-type work such as manicures, pedicures and facials, and never needed those skills.
When the law was passed in 1984, Garden State barbers believed these regulations kept newcomers away from the profession due to the higher cost and time involved. Now, they'll be able to focus on their classic barbering skills.
Construction Permits and Licenses
Slightly different, but just as important to getting work done are construction permits.
In DC, where politics rules, a Maryland contractor admitted he wasn't licensed to work in the District, but his company built a $12,000 fence around the property of a DC Council Chair. He also admitted he didn't obtain a building permit before doing the work.
The president of the company said under the contract, the customer would get the permit. But he still should have checked and made a copy.
The Council Chair is keeping mum about who installed an electric garage door on his home. The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs and the Public Space Committee are investigating both situations.
Permits are needed to make sure work is done up to a particular standard, whether it's electrical code or your town or homeowner's association by-laws. Heavy fines and redoing the work are just a couple of the results of not having one.
Keep Licenses and Permits Current and Accurate
Performing work needing a license or permit without getting it, you're risking trouble with licensing and regulatory authorities, not to mention insurance companies if something goes wrong.
It might also cause problems in the future if you're seeking another license or permit. If your license is for a profession, you might be fined or your license may be suspended or denied. Then you aren't able to work.
And if you're hiring someone to do work for you, be sure they have the appropriate building licenses or permits in place. A nasty fight could result with conflicts over fines, permit fees and finishing the work. And if you're in a visible political or leadership role, you could be criticized or viewed as the recipient of political favors or influence.
Questions for Your Attorney
- A contractor built a shed for me, but didn't get a permit. Now the township has fined me. Can I get the contractor to pay for it?
- Is there a database of contractors I can search to ensure they are licensed?
- Is there a list of required work permits for my township? If so, where can I find it?

After weeks of Garda provocation, and just after Garda beat protesters with batons someone finally snapped and threw a single brick back. When a politician as unpopular as Joan Burton uses dozens of riot police to force her way into and out of one of the most deprived communities in the state, what should be expected but angry protest. And when at a moment of unprecedented popular mobilisation those same Garda pull pepper spray & batons for use against water charge resistors what is a single brick bouncing off a car in response.
Decades of lack of investment in social housing and the growing housing crisis in Dublin means that Dublin city council now appear to be considering building temporary slum housing. That's not of course what they are calling it but Assistant chief executive and head of housing Dick Brady has revealed a plan to house families in prefabs on derelict sites.
Minister Frances Fitzgerald claimed to be shocked at reports that some women in direct provision centres felt compelled into sex work by the poverty they are kept in. How can that be, its Minister Frances Fitzgerald who actually operates this direct provision system that creates such circumstances.
As the Minister she does not allow asylum seekers to work, leaving them to exist on €19.10 per week, often for periods measured in years. Who can imagine living month after month with such a minuscule amount of spending money? And while she now wants to suggest she has concern for such women the reality is that she is the one who signs deportation orders, orders which will very often send the same women to very much more difficult circumstances.
This is as complete a story about what happened to 'Migrant X' that we are aware of. Migrant X is a young migrant women who it emerged was refused an abortion by the Irish state despite apparently meeting the grounds of the X-case legislation and instead forced to carry the pregnancy and agree to a C-section. The pregnanacy itself was the result of rape, Migrant X attempted suicide after being refused the abortion and later went on a hunger and thirst strike. Once what had happened to her became known there were sizeable pro-choice solidarity demonstrations called across Ireland and at Irish embassies overseas.
We have been given information that the migrant woman at the centre of the current forced pregnancy was 'committed' to a psychiatric hospital following her initial request for termination. It's already known that the initial request was made when she was 8 weeks pregnant. It was this crucial period in which she was being held incommunicado which led directly to the Caesarian option being possible to impose as an 'alternative' to allowing her to access the abortion she had asked for.
Almost two years after Shell smuggled their Tunnel Boring Machine out of Dublin port in the middle of the night, and then spent 3 days meeting resistance across the country before getting stuck in the bog, they removed it from Erris Monday night.
The WSM had its Autumn national conference in Dublin on the 23rd November. National Conference is the ultimate decision making body in the WSM. It happens every six months usually over a day or two. As well as discussing motions time is also spent on discussing the past six months activity and prospects for the next period. Conference also hears reports of activity from all branches, officers and working groups. This covered areas like the Irish Anarchist Review, WSM Website, Dublin Anarchist Bookfair and our pro-choice and anti racist work.
Shell to Sea campaigner Naoise Ó Mongáin asking Garda to stop videotaping his grand daughter during a protest at Shell's refinery on Saturday.
Yesterday (27 June) five people were arrested by the Garda as violence was used to break up protests against the continued imposition of an experimental gas pipeline on the community by Shell. In the morning 30 Garda blocked the entrance of Rossport Solidarity Camp and then arrested 2 Shell to Sea campaigners who were trying to access the public road. During these arrests Garda behaviour was described as "very violent" by an eyewitness we talked to.
The second day of the week of action saw an unexpected success when Shell to Sea campaigners managed to breach Shells fortified compound and force security to retreat to the inner compound. While this happened much of the equipment, in particular the spy cameras, in the outer compound was damaged or destroyed.
This morning (Sat 22 June) around 50 Shell to Sea campaigners kicked off the Week of Action against Shell's experimental high pressure gas pipe in Erris by tearing up the bog road Shell has laid as part of its attempt to finish the pipeline. They also destroyed the sandbag dam that Shell were attempting to build across part of the estuary in order to be able to work on the pipeline route regardless of the tides. This was accomplished in full view of about 15 security from IRMS - the security company hired by Shell to repress protest.

A merge variable is the term given to a symbolic name e.g. "$users_last_name" that is used to pull data from your OpenCRM system into a mail, document or template. It tells the system to find and insert the name or word that is referred to, in this example it is the User Last Name.
You don't need to be an HTML expert to do this, as we have compiled a list of merge variables for you to use. Simply select the required variable from the drop-down menu at the top of the email edit screen
Then copy and paste the merge variable into your email body as required, for example:
The variables selected will then pull through the relevant details into the email so that sending a mail using the variables in the example above will produce results along these lines:
A quick note about FORMATTING
Programs such as Word have a tendency to add formatting to documents. As a result your email template may show unexpected formatting such as extra spaces, different fonts, font size and so on. To avoid this, copy text into a program such as Notepad and then copy and paste the text from Notepad, this will strip any unwanted formatting.
Adding an image or company logo to your email template
To add your company logo or any other image into your email template, please refer to this FAQ: https://opencrm.co.uk/crm-knowledgebase/kb744103/I-would-like-to-add-an-image-to-an-Email-how-do-I-do-this.html

|Sustainability: Can Corporations Really Change?

Maurice Bechard, director of global environment health & safety at Diversey, and Michael Kobori, vice president for social and environmental sustainability at Levi Strauss & Co, joined a recent Future of Green conference call to talk about their companies' increasingly public sustainability initiatives and what they mean for business operations.
Moderated by Neal Gorenflo, publisher of Shareable Magazine, this conversation is part of the Future of Green, a conference/podcast series co-hosted by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Stanford's Graduate School of Business Center for Social Innovation with the goal of helping to define the next generation of sustainable business.
Both companies have legacies that support sustainable activities–dating back to the 1930's and their history with SC Johnson for Diversey, and from its 150 years of family ownership at Levi Strauss. Recently, Diversey enunciated an ambitious corporate purpose: to save lives, protect the planet, transform our industry. Bechard describes how this purpose is translated into action and what it has meant for sustainability investments and employee relations.
In the case of Levi Strauss & Co., what had historically been a private social consciousness has recently found a more public voice. Kobori explains that the eye-opener for them was the result of life cycle analysis of a pair of 501 Jeans that showed that the bulk of the environmental impact came after its sale (during washing and drying) or before it was produced (from the agricultural impact of the cotton). This has lead to an increased focus on stakeholders outside the company–both customers and suppliers.
The executives share stories about how approaches used to assure sustainability affect internal decision-making and employee satisfaction (positive and important!); and explain the challenge of transitioning to an integrated bottom line vs. near-term financial return, and the importance of moving towards sustainable operations for business and society.

Hi! I'm Dr. Sandy Rebrovich and I am very excited to be blogging about health & wellness for the Elk River Star News.
Here are a few things you should know about me. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Psychology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern College of Chiropractic. My husband and I have been practicing in Elk River for 10 years. We have three wonderful boys TJ (7), Jack (5), & Nick (3) and live the wellness lifestyle we teach our patients.
I am also an Associate Clinic Faculty member in the Clinical Education department of Northwestern College of Chiropractic.
I am so looking forward to the stimulating dialogue this blog will surely create. Please feel free to submit health related discussion topics that are important to you and your family.
Since it is just about back to school time, I think a great initial topic to get the ball rolling is backpacks.
Did you know that more than 200,000 children a year suffer from backpack injuries? These injuries range from bruises, to sprains and strains to the back and shoulders, as well as fractures.
Backpacks can also negatively influence your child's posture, especially in younger students.
Why are so many children getting hurt? The answer is really quite simple. Children are wearing backpacks that are too heavy and too big.
How much does your child's backpack weigh when he/she heads off to school in the morning? Do you know? It's okay if you don't. The truth is most parents don't know, but you need to. A backpack weighing more than 15 percent of your child's body weight can damage their developing spine.
It is very important that your child wear the right size backpack for his or her body. Unfortunately, that superhero or cartoon backpack might not come in a size appropriate for your child. Don't sacrifice a proper fit for a fashion statement.
A good rule of thumb is to make sure that the bottom of the backpack is two inches above the waist and resting in the curve of the lower back.
This school year, keep a watchful eye on how heavy your child's backpack becomes. Keeping the backpack light and properly positioned will ensure a healthier school year.

(CBS) When kids get conked on the noggin, many emergency doctors are quick to order a CT scan to rule out traumatic brain injury (TBI) - often at the urging of worried parents. But a new study suggests that approach may be bad medicine.
Why is that? Because in addition their high cost, CT scans expose kids to ionizing radiation that may increase the risk of developing cancer down the road.
"Only a small percentage of children with blunt head trauma really have something serious going on," study co-author Dr. Lise Nigrovic of Children's Hospital Boston, said in a written statement released in conjunction with the study. "If you can be watched in the emergency department for a few hours, you may not need a CT."
The multi-center study - published in the June 2001 issue of the journal Pediatrics - involved more than 40,000 children with blunt head trauma. It showed that by taking a little extra time to observe kids, doctors can halve the number of CT scans these kids receive without putting kids at any additional risk.
And fewer CT scans mean kids' lifetime risk for cancer may be lowered. Because their brains are still growing, kids are believed to be more vulnerable to radiation.
Just what are doctors supposed to look for during the observation period? Headache, vomiting, and confusion top the list. And any change in symptoms may suggest that a child who has sustained a head injury needs a CT scan and possibly aggressive treatment.
"CT isn't bad if you really need it, but you don't want to use it in children who are at low risk for having a significant injury," said Nigrovic.
Each year in the U.S., there are about half a million emergency department visits for traumatic brain injury in children under 14 years of age. Boys age four and younger are most likely to be taken to the emergency department for a TBI-related emergency.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on traumatic brain injury.

Statoil has commenced exploratory drilling on well 16/2-18S in Production License 265 in the North Sea. The well, located on the Cliffhanger North prospect, is west of the Johan Sverdrup discovery and north of the previously tested Cliffhanger South prospect.
The objective of the Cliffhanger North prospect is to test the presence of the Jurassic reservoir and the quality of fractured and weathered basement, reported the operator. The prospect is also appraising the northeastern portion of the Johan Sverdrup discovery.
Drilling should take about 40 days and is being performed by the Ocean Vanguard (mid-water semisub). The planned total depth of the well is 6,463 feet (1,970 meters).
Cliffhanger South, which was drilled last month, failed to encounter hydrocarbons. The well was classified as a dry hole.
Det Norske, partner on the field, estimates that the play to the west of the fault margin on Sverdrup, including Cliffhanger, could potentially hold up to 500 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Statoil Petroleum operates PL265 with a 40 percent interest; while partners include Petoro (30%), Det norske oljeselskap (20%), and Lundin Norway (10%).

Watch: Melo Trimble breaks ankles, makes flashy pass for score
Maryland Terrapins guard Melo Trimble went on an absolute tear in the second half against North Carolina on Tuesday, and dished off a highlight-reel assist in the process.
With the Terrapins down 55–53 early in the second, Trimble crossed up Tar Heels guard Nate Britt to get to the basket, then, as the defense collapsed on him, he dished to Robert Carter for an easy lay-in. Trimble somehow got the ball around the defense, and located Carter, who he was shielded from.
Trimble is over 20 points and 10 assists on the night.

Kudremukh is a relatively unknown hill station located at an altitude of 1,894 meters above sea level overlooking the Arabian Sea. It is situated in the Chickmaglur district of Karnataka. The hill station is a peak enclosed by mountain ranges inhabited by a wide array of flora and fauna. Apart from its lush green landscape and forests, Kudremukh is a favourite among trekkers and animal lovers. It is also the originating place of three main rivers of Karnataka. The hill station is blessed with a salubrious climate all throughout the year with average temperature ranging from 10�Celsius to 35�Celsius. This makes Kudremukh a year round destination except the monsoon season during which the place receives heavy rainfall. From March to May it is summer in Kudremukh and the average temperature varies from 30�Celsius to 35�Celsius. Cotton clothing is ideal for a visit during this season. Kudremukh receives heavy rainfall from June to October. The average rainfall received in this area is around 7000 mm which helps to sustain its lush green landscape. Due to the heavy precipitation the monsoon season is not considered to be an ideal time to visit the hill station. November to February is winter season in Kudremukh with average temperature ranging from 17�Celsius to 20�Celsius, though there are times when it drops to 10�Celsius also. During this time the climate is pleasant and the verdant landscape looks fresh after the heavy monsoon. Light woollen wear is recommended for a visit to Kudremukh in winter season. October to May is the best time to make a visit to this quiet hill station. Post monsoon, nature looks at its best and with the onset of winter the temperature becomes ideal for a refreshing sojourn.

|Recombinant Human SerpinD1 protein (Catalog#10295-H08H)
|Rabbit IgG
|0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with 5% trehalose
|Produced in rabbits immunized with purified, recombinant Human SerpinD1 (rh SerpinD1; Catalog#10295-H08H; NP_000176.2; Met 1-Ser 499). Total IgG was purified by Protein A affinity chromatography .
WB: 10-20 μg/ml
ELISA: 0.5-1 μg/mL
This antibody can be used at 0.5-1 μg/mL with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect Human SerpinD1. The detection limit for Human SerpinD1 is approximately 0.00245 ng/well.
SerpinD1, also known as heparin cofactor II (HCâ…¡), is a member of Serpin superfamily of the serine proteinase inhibitors. HCII is a glycoprotein in human plasma that inhibits thrombin and chymotrypsin, and the rate of inhibition of thrombin is rapidly increased by Dermatan sulfate (DS), heparin (H) and glycosaminoglycans(GAG). The stimulatory effect of glycosaminoglycans on the inhibition is mediated, in part, by the N-terminal acidic domain of HCII. Interestingly, a C-terminal His-tagged recombinant HCII exhibits enhanced activity of thrombin inhibition. It has been suggested that HCII plays an unique and important role in vascular homeostasis, and accordingly mutations in this gene or congenital HCII deficiency is potentially associated with thrombosis. HCII specifically inhibits thrombin action at the site of vascular wall injury and HCII-thrombin complexes have been detected in human plasma. HCII protects against thrombin-induced vascular remodeling in both humans and mice and suggest that HCII is a predictive biomarker and therapeutic target for atherosclerosis. SerpinD1 also inhibits chymotrypsin, but in a glycosaminoglycan-independent manner.

Sounds like Steven Spielberg's "Robopocalypse" is really gearing up, with recent news that Chris Hemsworth was offered the lead, and yesterday had Anne Hathaway possibly coming onboard as the female lead. Today finds young Mr. Ben Whishaw, who can be seen as the new Q. in Bond flick "Skyfall" and "Cloud Atlas" later this year, looking likely to board the film as a character name Lurker.
In the Daniel H. Wilson novel that "Robopocalypse" will be based on, Lurker is a British computer hacker and all-around punk who starts off being a total dick, before the robot uprising (and subsequent mass killings of humans by said robots) turns him into a somewhat heroic figure. Like most of the wide-ranging, globalized characters that show up in Wilson's novel, Lurker plays a vital part in fighting the robot.
Spielberg is set to direct the sci-fi actioner, which already has a April 25, 2014 release date penned into the schedule.

"I almost sabotaged myself, because I had so many songs and ideas written down everywhere," Braun said. "It was like a treasure hunt trying to pick out the best parts. I think we ended up with a good batch of songs, though."
For years, Reckless Kelly has made its living off of writing country lyrics to rock music, and "Good Luck and True Love" again finds that wheelhouse. It may be the group's most un-fooled around with album yet.
It's the third album the band has produced, but the first under its own record label and management company.
"The industry is leaning in the direction where guys can pull off the independent thing a little easier than they used to," Braun said. "We had our finger on the trigger for a long time and decided to go for it."
If any band can manage itself, it's Reckless Kelly. Every member played a different role in making the new album. Braun handled the writing and put arrangements around the words with his brother, Cody. Dave Abeyta handled the technical side of production, and the rhythm section laid a nice foundation.
The only ears the record had to gain approval from were the members themselves.
"It's kind of scary, but it's nice not to have to answer to anybody," Braun said.
All Reckless Kelly has to answer to now is its fans, and there are plenty of them in the Southeast, Braun said. The Georgia Theatre show is the band's first stop in Athens in a few years.
The Athens crowd can expect to hear a few cuts from the new record, but the band plans to squeeze in plenty of familiar material, as well.
"I think our crowd likes hearing some fresh stuff," Braun said. "We'll kind of mix it in with some of the old favorites."

VERMILION — A city man was charged following an investigation of the armed robbery of a Marco's Pizza employee on Oct. 2.
Matthew Haller, 32, was charged with one count of robbery in connection with the incident. Police said he was at the Lorain County Jail on an unrelated charge when he was charged with the Marco's robbery.
Police were called to Fifth Third Bank on Liberty Avenue at 12:42 a.m. Oct. 2 where a Marco's Pizza employee, Scott Weese, and his co-worker, Peggy Bixby, were making a night deposit. The employees told police that they pulled up to the deposit box when a man started yelling, "Give me the f—-ing money! Don't worry, it's insured, just give me the f—-ing money!"
Weese said the man appeared to have a gun in his hand, but the gun did not appear to be real. He told police that he told the suspect, later identified as Haller, that the gun didn't appear to be real, but he gave him the money.
Haller then told Weese, "Mine ain't real but Mike's is" before striking Weese in the face several times with the weapon, according to a police report.
Police said Weese had several cuts and scratches on the right side of his face around his eye but declined medical attention.
Police said the suspect ran east on Liberty Avenue around the front of Wendy's restaurant.
Police used a K-9 to track the suspect to what appeared to be a vacant home near Harcourt Road. Officers contacted the owner of the home, who provided the name of a person who was in the process of moving out, but police didn't have enough evidence for a search warrant.
Haller was identified as the suspect after an informant told police that he made friends with Haller at Lorain County Jail, and he said Haller bragged about the crime. Police said the informant knew many details of the robbery that weren't public knowledge.
Haller allegedly told the informant that he used the money to buy heroin and he bragged about doing the same thing in Lorain and said he planned on robbing a McDonald's worker in the future.
The informant then used a digital recording device in which Haller could be heard talking about the robbery, according to the report. Haller allegedly bragged about using a plastic gun taped with duct tape to hit the employee several times in the head.
Police questioned Haller, and he admitted to the crime, according to the report.
He is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. today at Vermilion Municipal Court.

Islamabad: Amid growing tension between him and the powerful army chief General Raheel Sharif, Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif on Friday struck a defiant note, lashing out at those "plotting to destabilize him".
Sharif said he was accountable only to Allah and awam (people), even as he said he was ready to face a probe into the Panama Paper disclosures about him and his family having offshore accounts.
Sacking six top officers, Raheel said the fight against terrorism couldn't succeed unless corruption was uprooted – remarks seen aimed at the PM.
Nawaz Sharif's decision to go public with his defiance came just a day after the army chief sacked six top serving army officers over grave corruption charges, in a move which was widely seen as designed to put pressure on the Prime Minister.
General Sharif had declared: "The ongoing war against terrorism cannot bring enduring peace and stability unless corruption is uprooted.Therefore, across the board accountability is necessary…". The remarks were seen as primarily aimed at Sharif.
Sharif, who was ousted in coup by former dictator Pervez Musharraf, also took digs at his political rivals who have asked for his resignation in the wake of Panama Papers leaks.
"When a sitting PM was handcuffed, put behind bars and then sent into exile by a military dictator, why nobody bothered? Why the doors of the Supreme Court were not knocked at that time for justice?" "I challenge all those who accuse me and my family of tax fraud. They should come forward and present evidence.
If charges are proved against me, I will resign immediately," he said in his address. Sharif said he would write a letter to the chief justice of Pakistan to form a commission to probe the allegations levelled against him and his family.
"If the charges are proved unfounded, will the accusers seek apology from the nation? And will the nation forgive them?" he said.
Sharif 's televised address came a day after the Election Commission released his assets statements for 2015, which make him one of the richest politicians in Pakistan with personal assets of Rs 2 billion, an increase of over a billion in just four years.

Over the past few weeks there have been a couple of things that have made me wonder if Microsoft is dropping the Windows Phone brand and question it's future. I think we will have just Windows as the one experience for everything in our lives.
Yesterday I watched the UK advert for the new Lumia 930 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrtkFDnJC94&list=UUpQ0GgeaP6qbUdbSxdr-GAA) and I noticed that at the end the name "Windows Phone" wasn't used, instead just "Windows" was displayed. I don't know if this is a new branding exercise or if it has been the same on recent #WindowsPhone adverts, but I know the 1020 advert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMKPx9je3R8&list=UUpQ0GgeaP6qbUdbSxdr-GAA) did show "Windows Phone".
On its own it might not signal much but when considering that the new HTC Windows Phone is called the HTC One (M8) for Windows (not Windows Phone) then maybe there is something to it.
This got me thinking...
We know that #Microsoft is hard at work on #WindowsThreshold which is looking to synchronise and simplify the various #Windows systems. It is not clear how the Threshold exercise will take shape but its effects are thought to be felt across all Windows versions. However, we do already know that Microsoft is working to combine Windows RT and Windows Phone into a single version of Windows that runs on ARM.
All this convergence follows on from the advances already made such as the Universal Apps that allow developers to make apps that only require smaller tweaks in order to run across both Windows and Windows Phone.
Threshold is likely to only increase this convergence and seamless experience. It should enable apps to run across all devices running a Microsoft OS which also sync all files, settings and profiles across them too. As Microsoft is already putting it, "one experience for everything in your life."
The development of Threshold must already be making some people question the Windows brands. For instance the combined Windows Phone and RT system will need a new name; "Phone" can't really be used for devices that aren't phones and RT should never have been a brand. I have heard that Windows Mobile might make a return as the Windows on ARM name, this should not be a brand though.
I can see why Windows Phone might be disappearing as a brand and it makes sense to me. From the evidence it looks like this is already happening with Microsoft moving to simply "Windows". We are already used to Windows prefixed to device categories such as Windows PCs, Windows laptops and Windows tablets so why not Windows phones too?
In the Lumia 930 advert Microsoft shows how well the phone works with a Windows hybrid laptop and having just the one brand surely makes the Windows ecosystem easier to advertise. One experience for everything in your life.
The idea of a single Windows brand might become even more important with the coming of the Internet of Things. We might have Windows fridges or even Windows windows.
Windows Phone as a brand has already had a short yet interesting history (Windows Phone 7 Series?!), maybe it is time for the brand to be put aside for the single Windows brand to take over.
Microsoft is expected to announce #Windows9 / Windows Threshold at the end of next month and I am eager to know how much they are going to be demoing/talking about. It might be only be the traditional Windows or it could be about Windows on ARM too.

Minnesota Lawyer associate editor Barbara Jones reports from today's investiture ceremony of Chief Justice Lorie Gildea and Associate Justice David Stras that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is among the dignitaries on hand at the Landmark Center in St. Paul.
Stras is a former clerk for Thomas, and Thomas was already signed up to co-teach a U of M class with Professor Stras when news came that Stras had gotten the appointment, Thus, the "surprise" visit from Thomas was probably foreseeable — although I must admit it wasn't on my radar screen.
More details to follow. I suspect that Thomas will be allowed to address the crowd. Despite his proclivity to silence in oral arguments, Thomas actually has a good reputation as an engaging and sometimes jovial public speaker. He reportedly is very supportive of his ex-clerk getting this high court judgeship — a report given all the more credence by Thomas' presence at the swearing-in event.

Animal Kingdom Colt Sells to Best for $750,000
A bay colt by champion and Darley sire Animal Kingdom paced the early action during the Aug. 8 session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga selected yearling sale when he elicited a final bid of $750,000.

A noose, knowledge of anti-discrimination order scrutinized in court
Jefferson County commissioners' knowledge of federally mandated anti- discrimination practices was tested inside a federal courtroom. However, an attorney for the plaintiffs says an unanswered incident involving a noose shows how bad the system is broken.
After taking office in 2010, Commissioner Sandra Little Brown says she met with her department heads. She told the court, "I would not allow discrimination to anyone- black, white, man woman."
While Brown was aware of the 1982 consent decree, she admitted no knowledge of the particular requirements under the federal anti-discrimination decree against women and African Americans.
Brown says she told all employees with complaints to document them and she followed up on all the ones she was aware of. However, she later admitted to the consent decree not being fulfilled.
"I think there are two real problems- the system for bringing grievance is broken. The second, which is a consequence of that because the system is broken and people know that, they don't complain," said Rowan Wilson, an attorney for the plaintiffs.
Wilson's point was brought home by one of his witnesses.
The employee relations office in the HR Department, Kimberly Oden Webster testified about an investigation at the Roads and Transportation Department into drug use and equipment misuse. She says other employees were eaves dropping as she tried to privately discuss the complaint with the employee who filed it. After that interview, she told the judge she found a noose hanging in the women's bathroom. She described feeling intimidated as a black woman and filed a complain that remains unanswered.
Rowan Wilson, an attorney for the plaintiffs, says documents submitted to the judge reveal even more problems.
"This trial would illustrate some of the examples from different departments to put a real face on documentary evidence," he said.
Testimony has also attacked the 2011 unpaid leaves for targeting women and African Americans and even for the hiring of a white male county manager.
Commission President David Carrington responded to both issues saying the unpaid leaves targeted certain jobs, not employees and Tony Petelos was the most qualified candidate.
The county manager is expected to testify later this week.
The trial began in 2009 but was delayed due the judge's discovery of a heart problem that needed immediate treatment.
Attorneys for the county have already told the judge they'll accept a modified order to ensure women and minorities are considered on an equal basis when it comes to hiring.
Commissioner Brown reiterated her willingness to randomly select qualified candidates using a lottery type system to fill 168 open positions.

The Elian Gonzalez case is too black or white. Too either/or. Too binary.
The satisfying political solution (the boy stays in Miami) does not square with the commonsense human solution (he belongs with his father).
Why should they square? Exile itself is binary and, almost by definition, enraged. Exile politics festers with wounds of separation the loss of homeland, culture, family, of an essential part of one's identity. The boy's mother drowned between homeland and exile. The child is perched on the far shore. But he is suspended in the most complicated, inconclusive state of multiple loss (home, mother and, quite unnecessarily, father too). Cuban exiles, of course, have built another Cuba in Florida a better Cuba in its essentials (notably its American freedom and American money), but nonetheless not Cuba, really. Where exactly is Cuba in this boy's mind? He lost his mother. Cuba is his father.
I am astonished by the blitheness with which American television commentators (for example, ABC's Cokie Roberts on Sunday's "This Week") dismiss consideration of the father. I do not mean merely "the father's rights." That's a legalism that assumes the father is as selfish, as narcissistic as most Americans have become in asserting their "rights." I am speaking of something deeper, more basic, more fundamental, more humanly essential the father's love, his connection with his son. If the boy has a basic right, it is the right to his father.
Americans have grown stupid and confused about the meaning of fatherhood. That stupidity is the reason, in this case, that mere politics, however principled or however sleazy and craven (sometimes misbegotten principle curdles into sleaze), has been allowed, so casually, to trump what should be a reflexive respect for the father's place in the picture.
Don't look for such respect in America. It has vanished in the incomplete American transition out of, er, patriarchy. Americans operate as if fathers were secondary and essentially dispensable. The destruction wrought by that premise is strewn about the landscape in the form of crime, drugs, suicide, family misery.
The alternatives in the Elian Gonzalez case have about them the simple-mindedness of mere politics a raw power struggle especially obscene when its object is a six-year-old boy. The law will ultimately, maybe messily, win. In the worst nightmare version, there could be riots, Cuban exiles in pitched battle with the National Guard, and a screaming six-year-old dragged out to be delivered to Fidel. On the other hand, perhaps the law will change. Maybe the Al Gore bill (granting Elian permanent resident status in exchange for Florida's electoral votes in November) will compose a happy American ending.
I keep wondering how much Elian knows about all this, how much he understands. One news story says the Miami relatives claim that the father is abusive, that he yells at Elian on the telephone and tells the boy his mother is still alive. Does Elian believe she is still alive? When he grows up, what will he be like? Will he be sane?
What a stupid mess. The little boy is lost, the grown-ups are fools, and politics is a vicious idiot.

I knew if I expressed my opinion I'd burst into tears. That's what my WH & the OW called each other.
The kicker this woman hangs out at a place the WH hangs out & OW has been to but supposedly never together.
I little bit later my husband asked if I was ready to leave. I said yes now. As we were leaving he said "Did someone say something to you?" (He wasn't around when she told me that.) I explained what happen and his response hurt almost as much as the trigger. "Well things like that are gonna happen and there is nothing you or I can do about it."
A simple hug "I'm sorry your hurting" "I want to be with you" "I'm committed to our marriage" or any reassuring words would have been nice. Instead I had to ask him for a hug. He's never been one to show physical or verbal affection much, but doesn't realize right now I need him to step it up.
There are people I try to spend time with, too, who say those things and sometimes it feels like they don't know what we mean. My father is one who says it and has been abandoned by a spouse as I have, so it shocks me to hear.
Do you think sometimes, that people don't know what else to say or do?
One person actually gave me this advice: "Sometimes it is okay to simply pretend things are okay..." all I could do was stare back at here-no words would come.
Yes, I agree and find triggers still raw. They can come out of nowhere, can't they?
I'm sorry that this happened to you and hope that over time, you will find peace.
A person is a person, no matter how small. -Dr. Suess

I am seriously considering moving to another city. There are so many places here that are triggers, that I feel like just staying home. Wait... It's not safe here, either.

Loew still holds Sami Khedira WC hope
Germany coach Joachim Loew is refusing to rule out the possibility of Sami Khedira returning from injury in time to play at the World Cup.
Khedira, 26, had to undergo knee surgery in November after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in the friendly against Italy.
The Real Madrid midfielder currently faces a battle to recover his fitness before the end of the season, but Loew has not given up hope of seeing him feature in Brazil.
"Three days ago, I talked to Sami on the phone. He feels fine, does light training on the treadmill, and has not suffered any setbacks," Loew told Bild. "All is fine, Sami is on schedule."
The Germany boss has had to deal with a number of injury blows this season. Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has been struggling with ankle problems throughout the campaign, while Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has not played since August due to a back injury.
"There is no deadline. But naturally we'll have to look at how the players are in form and how fit they are," Loew said. "To call up a player for the World Cup, who has not played a competitive game, that would be difficult. I want every player to cover the full work load during our preparation for the Word Cup."
Should Khedira not return to fitness in time for the World Cup, Loew is considering moving his captain Philipp Lahm into the holding midfield role.
"It's always a question of alternatives," Loew said. "Philipp has to and will know where I'll play him before the World Cup."

RICHMOND, Va (Feb. 28)
Legislation revoking the state charter of the American Nazi party moved one step closer last night when the Virginia House of Delegates rejected by a narrow margin a proposal to return the bill to committee.
By a vote of 44-42 the delegates agreed to vote on the actual bill tomorrow. Referral to a committee would have doomed the measure in this session of the legislature which is fast drawing to a close. The measure will still have to go to the State Senate, if it passes the House of Delegates.
Harrison Mann, Jr., an Arlington lawyer and World War II Marine veteran, said there were two reasons for the introduction of the measure. The Rockwell group, he stated had its offices "in my county and they parade in uniforms with their guns strapped on. People there are sick and tired of the whole business."
The second reason, he declared, was that Rockwellite literature includes the statement "chartered by Virginia" with an apparent attempt to indicate some sort of legitimacy. "I think that's a blot on the good name of Virginia, " he explained. He added that the bill would remove the protection of corporate immunity from the organization whose purposes, he said, he considered inimical to the state and nation.
