Steve Jobs – One Last Thing premiered November 2011 on PBS. The documentary takes an unflinching look at Jobs' difficult, controlling reputation and through interviews with the people who worked closely with him or chronicled his life, provides unique insight into what made him tick. Below is the full transcript….
Steve Jobs was a genius of the modern age. He gave us tools to change our lives and the way we communicate.
"Here comes a device that comes with no manual, and everybody knows how to use it… amazing."
"They weren't just hits in the sense that they sold well, but they actually changed the whole nature of technology and caused everyone else to follow them."
This intimate portrait is a revealing insight into Steve Jobs' life…
"Andy Warhol gets down on his hands and knees, Steve showing him how to use the mouse".
His career…"He shook up a whole industry."
His character…"Steve loved those creative ideas".
His faults…"Steve ultimately betrayed everyone".
His artistry…"Just the smooth lines of it".
And his achievements…"He is going to inspire a whole new generation".
By the people who knew him best.
"I'd give a lot to have Steve's taste". – Bill Gates
"If he needed you, he was your best friend, and he would seduce you".
"When I was having a hard time, he would be on the phone, he'd drive up from Silicon Valley, take me out for dinner, hang out and take walks with me".
"He turned on me, total street bully, in my face, We were… and I went crazy. I'd never been there. I don't ever want to be there again".
"How much fun we had… ohh…How much fun we had in those days doing things together, you know, but you lose it, you can't ever go back, and just to have those conversations that make us both smile". – Steve Woz
Through their eyes, we reveal what made him the man who always gave us…
"Now there's one more thing."
Steve Jobs "One Last Thing"
Steven Paul Jobs died on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, a life cut short in its creative prime by cancer. His death was not a surprise, and yet its impact reverberated around the world. The news had spread, and the tributes were created on the new iDevices that his visionary genius had made. His is a success story that could only have happened in the U.S.A.
"I don't mean to say that there aren't geniuses and world-changing people everywhere… there are… But I think in Jobs' case, the particular path of his career, this could only have happened in America". – Walt Mossberg, Technology Columnist
Steve Jobs' world-class salesmanship found a global audience in his famous Apple product presentations. He always had "one more thing" to announce.
"Everyone thinks, "Wow. That's… that's so much," and, "well, we got one more thing," and then you put your biggest thing at the end because it'll tip it. It's good, uh… it's good showmanship really". – Eddie Izzard, Comedian & Actor
Tragically that "one more thing" has now become "one last thing." The news that Steve Jobs had finally logged out made headlines everywhere. This man really had changed the world.
"When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is, and your… your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money". – Steve Jobs
In this exclusive, never before seen interview, Steve Jobs gave a rare glimpse of his vision of the world.
"That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Um, once you learn that, you'll never be the same again".
In the Los Altos suburb of San Francisco, California, just about everybody was an engineer or worked in electronics, a childhood spent here in the future Silicon Valley was the first key lucky break in Steve Jobs' young life.
His closest childhood friend was Bill Fernandez.
"In about eighth grade, halfway through, this new guy came into the school, who was Steve Jobs, and we were both introverted, intellectual, kind of socially inept, and we gravitated towards each other". – Bill Fernandez, User Interface Architect
The two boys shared the same hobby.
"We started taking long walks and talking about the meaning of life and what is this all about, and after a while we started doing…In addition to walking and talking…Doing electronics projects together". (Bill Fernandez)
Fernandez also knew another electronics geek, his neighbor's son Steve Wozniak, universally known as Woz.
"So one day, Steve Jobs bicycled over to hang out with me and do electronics projects in the garage, and out in front was Wozniak washing his car. So I thought to myself, "Okay This Steve is an electronics buddy, he's an electronics buddy. They'd probably like to meet each other." (Bill Fernandez)
Fernandez had no idea at the time that the meeting between his two friends would change our world. Jobs and Woz were soon to start a business together. Its name was Apple.
"If Woz and Jobs had never met, there never would have been an Apple computer. There would have been computers, and there would have been personal computers, but we probably wouldn't have the kind of wonderful empowering things that people fall into if Woz and Jobs hadn't met
This neighborhood we grew up in had a lot of Lockheed engineers in it, and I would go up and down the street to the various dads on the street and get mentored in electronics, and Steve Wozniak's father was one of the people who mentored me.
As Jobs and I were walking over, I noticed Woz out washing his car, and I said, "Hey, Woz. Um, come over and meet Steve."
So, "Steve, meet Steve." And this is where it happened, basically right here". (Bill Fernandez)
Woz and Jobs became inseparable friends, but their first venture was not a computer. The pair developed an electronics kit mimicking telephone router codes to make free calls around the world.
"You know, when you make a long distance phone call in the background you hear, "do do do do do"? Those are the telephone computers actually signing each other, sending information to each other to set up your call. And there used to be a way to fool the entire telephone system into thinking you were a telephone computer.
You could, you know, call from a pay phone, go to White Plains, New York, take a satellite to Europe, take a cable to Turkey, um, come back to Los Angeles, and you'd go around the world 3 or 4 times and call the payphone next door, shout in the phone, and be about 30 seconds, it would come out the other phone". – Steve Jobs
The pair quickly moved on from phone-jacking for fun to creating computers, building the prototype of the very first Apple.
It's a fond memory for Steve Wozniak.
"He was always thinking about certain technology, the early products that got developed, the building parts, what those might lead to in our future, and he was always pushing me as an engineer…"Could you possibly add this someday, could you possibly add that someday?" Yes, yes, yes, I could," thinking, "no. It's way, way off," but eventually we all did".
In those early days, Woz and Jobs took their creation to the home-brew computer club, an early computer club, an early computer users' group in Silicon Valley, where it quickly attracted attention from their peers.
"I met both Steves, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak at a meeting of the home-brew computer club in Palo Alto. Our first meeting was really simple. It was in the parking lot, and I helped them unload Woz's FIAT and carried in what I guess was the first Apple I to show it off to the assembled multitudes". – Robert Cringely, Technology Columnist
When that same first Apple I was auctioned in 2010, it attracted even more attention.
"It heralds the home computing revolution. This is the first computer where you use a keyboard and a screen to enter and read data".
"Selling for £110,000."
From the hippie days of 1970s California, a handful of teenage geeks emerged to change how we work, play, and communicate with each other.
"Founders can be divided into two camps. There are hippies, and there are nerds, and Jobs was definitely the hippie, and Woz was the nerd. And the hippie has the grand vision, and the nerd is able to realize the vision. The nerd knows everything about women but doesn't know any women. You know, Steve knew women. So there's that distinction. So they really needed each other. He knew how to beat it out of Woz, and he would do that, and his contributions at that time were saying, "gosh. We could sell these things." I mean, which doesn't sound like much, but it's huge when you're dealing with a guy in Woz who never thought about selling anything". – Robert Cringely, Technology Columnist
"I wanted it to happen so badly, I gave this computer away. I gave away the listings, no copyright notices, no nothing, and then Steve Jobs came and saw the interest, and he said "Why don't we start a company to make some money?" And I said, "Fine."" – Steve Wozniak
"They did want to start a business. They raised money to start a business. They knew that they couldn't do it on their own. They sought out older people to help, and Steve Jobs in particular was quite persuasive". – Robert Cringely, Technology Columnist
In Apple's earliest days, the two Steves, Jobs and Woz, took on an older and more experienced partner. Ronald Wayne now lives and works near Las Vegas, a fitting location for a man who walked away with nothing from a $37 billion no-lose bet.
Wayne was invited to discuss a business proposal with Jobs and Woz.
"That was the first time I had met Steve Wozniak, a fascinating guy a fun guy to be with, very… not only a fun guy to be with, the most gracious man I've ever met in my life. As far as Wozniak was concerned, the world was a great big sand box with a lot of toys to play with". – Ronald Wayne, Co-founder of Apple
But Ron's opinion of Steve Jobs was not so hot.
I wouldn't put gracious in his description. He had the kind of manner, the kind of approach to people and environments that were business directed, okay? He was extremely serious".
Wayne acted as referee in a minor difference of opinion between the two equal partners.
"Well, Steve Jobs was so impressed with my diplomacy in that particular situation that he immediately came back and said, "Okay. What we're going to do is form a company, with Woz and Jobs getting 45% each, and I would get 10% as a tiebreaker in the event of any philosophical disputes that might occur in the future".
10% of Apple today would be worth $37,631,420,312.42, but despite his share in the company, Ron was worried that working with Jobs and Woz might prove to be too stressful.
"At 40, I thought I was getting a little old for that. They were absolute whirlwinds. It was like having a tiger by the tail".
So Ron decided to hand back his share for nothing and walk away with no regrets.
"A lot of people have the impression that somehow or other I got diddled out of something. Well, I did not. Nobody diddled me out of anything".
Wayne may not be bitter, but he wasn't the only early Apple employee who made a life decision most of us would regret.
"The funny thing is that Steve Jobs hired me, and he said… he had hair just down to his waist at the time, and as I recall he only ate fruit, and he said, "we don't have very much loot, so we'd like to pay you in stock." I held out for the cash". – Robert Cringely, Technology Comlumist
When Steve Jobs first launched Apple, the computer industry meant mainframes and minicomputers. Huge devices sat in air conditioned rooms, and users worked on terminals. It wasn't a personal experience.
"The Apple II was the first computer that looked like a consumer electronic device. It was actually designed, and they thought about the user experience and that it was intended really to be used by a single person in some interactive way that was enjoyable to the user, different". – – Robert Cringely, Technology Comlumist
"Steve always thought much more broadly than just technology. He was certainly a techno-visionary, but the key to his greatness is to see how broad he thought. He was obsessed with design, with elegant design, and he was obsessed with the overall experience of technology and the idea of creativity generally. So somehow he was able to bring these things together and create technology that made peoples' eyes light up". – Chris Anderson, Director, TED Conferences
"And I wait 8 hours in a line, and I'm hungry, I am everything you imagine, but I'm happy. I wait for my iPad and really, really, really happy now".
Jobs drew on a diverse range of influences to feed his creativity, including a class he dropped into at college in Portland, Oregon, in the early seventies. Reed college has one of the best calligraphy courses in the U.S. His teacher had a major impact on his aesthetic and the clean lines of his products.
"We had many very bright students here, we had bright thinkers and people that wanted to change things and improve the world".- Robert Palladino, Instructor of Calligraphy
But Palladino witnessed first hand the impact Jobs had on his peers.
"The other students brought him to me like they were bringing me someone very special. They really had a high regard for him. I guess they could see the dynamics already forming in his thinking".
Jobs completed the course in 1974 but returned to Palladino just two years later. He was enthusing about a machine he had created in his garage and seeking advice on a font.
"He was interested in telling me what he was doing and how he was using what he had learned in class, but he wanted some help with Greek letters because he wanted a Greek font, and he couldn't find satisfactory models to go from. Before Steve started working on computer typefaces, they were in very bad condition, and any improvement would be a step forward".
The resulting fonts appeared not just on Macs but ultimately PCs, too, dramatically improving the user experience but not for Robert.
"I never touch computers. I write everything by hand. Getting letters in the mail is getting to be very rare".
Dropping out of college, Jobs went on the hippie trail, traveling to India and studying Buddhism, this also had an impact on his work at Apple.
"I first met Steve in 1975. He had recently returned from India. He's way ahead of his time. He wasn't the typical teenager. He asked questions that were a lot more serious than the normal 20-year-old. He was looking to understand the true nature of things, and I think he came to the Zen center to continue his search. Steve was very much taken with Zen, Zen Buddhism. Zen represents the relationship between things, things of the world. In Zen, it's expressed in the art. You see it in flower arranging, Ikebana, you see it in calligraphy, you see it in artworks. Steve was very much taken with that and especially calligraphy. He noticed the way the lines and the spaces had a relationship. I think his genius was being able to take the principles of Zen and incorporate it into the products that came out of Apple". – Les Kaye, Abbot, Kannon Do Zen Center

Digital asset management (DAM) consists of management tasks and decisions surrounding the ingestion, annotation, cataloguing, storage, retrieval and distribution of digital assets.
Digital photographs, animations, videos and music exemplify the target areas. Digital asset management systems (DAMS) include computer software and hardware systems that aid in the process of digital asset management.
The term "digital asset management" (DAM) also refers to the protocols for downloading, renaming, backing up, rating, grouping, archiving, optimizing, maintaining, thinning, and exporting files or other binary data.
The efficiency of above-mentioned protocols could[original research?] be ensured[by whom?] through a structured taxonomy.
The "media asset management" (MAM) sub-category of digital asset management mainly[quantify] addresses audio, video and other media content. The more-recent[when?] concept of enterprise content management (ECM) often deals with solutions which address similar features but in a wider range of industries or applications.[1]
Smaller DAM systems are easier to categorize as to content and usage since they normally operate in a particular operational context. This would hold true for systems attached to audio- or video-production systems. The key differentiators here are the types of decoders and I/O (input/output) used for the asset ingest, use and outgest. Since metadata describes the essence (and proxy copies), the metadata can serve as a guide to the playout decoders, transcoders, and channels as well as an input to access-control rules. This means that the essence can be treated as a non-described storage object except when being accessed for viewing or editing. There is relevance to this when considering the overall design and use of larger implementations.[] The closer the asset is to the ingest/edit/playout tool, the greater the technical architecture needs to accommodate delivery requirements such as bandwidth, latency, capacity, access control, availability of resources, etc. The further the asset moves into a general storage architecture (e.g. hierarchical storage management [HSM]) the more it can be treated as a general blob (binary large object) that is typically held in a filesystem, not in a database. The impact of this set of needs means that it is possible and reasonable to design larger systems using smaller, more expensive performance-systems at the edge of the network where the essence is being used in its intended form and less expensive systems further back for storage and archival. This type of design exemplifies Infrastructure Convergence Architecture, where the line-of-business operations technology and IT technologies depend on one another for functional and performance (non-functional) requirements.
Generally the "asset" being managed is collected and stored in a digital format. There is usually a target version - referred to as "essence" - generally the highest-resolution and highest-fidelity representation. The asset is detailed by its metadata. Metadata is the description of the asset and the description depth can vary depending on the needs of the system, designer, or user. Metadata can describe, but is not limited to, the description of: asset content (what is in the package?); the means of encoding/decoding (e.g. JPEG, tar, MPEG 2); provenance (history to point of capture); ownership; rights of access; as well as many others. There exist some predefined standards and template for metadata such as Dublin Core and PBCore. In cases of systems that contain large-size asset essences, such as MPEG 2 and JPEG2000 for the cases of images and video, there are usually related "proxy" copies of the essence. A proxy copy is a lower-resolution representation of the essence that can be used as a reference in order to reduce the overall bandwidth requirements of the DAM system infrastructure. It can be generated and retained at the time of ingestion of the asset simultaneous or subsequent to the essence, or it can be generated on the fly using transcoders.
The following broad categories of digital asset management systems may be distinguished as:[]
DAM software may be open source or proprietary.

Discussion in 'The Howard Stern Show' started by LaserT, Dec 7, 2014.
Christ.....A different world. They are not right, but imagine this stuff today. Forget it!
Wow.. No alteration needed. Gold in themselves hahaha.. I like it LT!!!
This ignorant shit is still with us.
Check out the Mike Epps/AJ Green Beats by Dre commercial played ad infinitum during today's NFL games:
"He do what he do!"
"I know you seen it!"
Coonery is alive and well...
Love the "There's no tipping" in the McDonald's ad
why hell dere dese be some goo adveratisaments!
I think that was the pinnacle of the racism in the ad.
Blaeks behaved back then. We got rid of those ads and now blaeks misbehave.
I don't want to leave our Canadian friends out of the fun
The McDonald's was very interesting. That couldn't have been too long ago. Real funny how they're playing to the "black people are lazy" stereotype and "dinnertimin" or "anytimin".
Always a pleasure to see your pictures.
It's like reading a pop-up book for adults and if I could rep you I would give you the world.
Happy Holidays Laser!

It will not be a series of the highest quality. England are a young and experimental side, Australia are a middle-aged and experimental side, and it is almost certain that neither eleven that takes the field at Cardiff will have played a Test together before: a minimal requirement, one would have thought, in this age of hi-tech preparation. Australia's natural cycle has forced them to re-build hurriedly; the ECB backed the wrong coach and captain and had to change horses earlier this year in mid-stream.
Past and present now point to the closeness that is to come. Australia are normally stronger at cricket than England. As a rule of the last hundred years, Australia have won twice as many Tests in Australia as England have. In England the gap narrows: starting with the first five-Test series in 1899, given home advantage, England have won 31 Tests to Australia's 43.
The present conforms with this historical context. Our match-up of player v player gives England a lead, but this is predicated on Nathan Hauritz playing at Cardiff. As soon as the offspinner is replaced by Stuart Clark, the players are equal man for man – in English conditions. For performance-based indicators, England's likely Test batsmen have scored 61 hundreds to Australia's 68; and England's bowlers have taken five-wicket hauls 19 times to Australia's 15.
When the national teams of two countries are so evenly matched, small factors - the toss, the umpiring, injuries and illness, sheer happenstance – can be decisive. And there will be a decision by late August. Even if the series is drawn for the first time since 1972, as is highly conceivable, Australia will retain the Ashes and depart with honour intact.
England need to win the toss to exploit the superiority they have in spin. Bowling second (as they did four times in 2005) and fourth will suit England far more than bowling first and third. The more that Graeme Swann bowls – and Monty Panesar, if selected – the less the strain on England's pace bowlers, and the more likely they are to complete the series. England do not want a repeat of 1997, or 2001, when Australia won every toss bar one.
If it is the long hot summer that is forecast, both sides will make the ball reverse-swing after it has been scuffed by arid squares and outfields. But England alone have a match-winning spinner to use these conditions and, if they are to win the series, Swann has to neutralise Australia's superiority in depth of batting.
The umpiring, like some of the cricket, will not be of the highest standard. Simon Taufel, the best umpire today, is Australian and cannot stand; Steve Bucknor has ambled into retirement. The umpires for this series – with two Tests apiece – are Billy Doctrove, Aleem Dar, Rudi Koertzen, Billy Bowden and Asad Rauf, without the safety of the referral system for all its defects. One indefensible error could all too easily sway a match and the series.
Home advantage is not so big a factor as it should be, because England are playing the first Test in Wales, not England. For the home side, after a single, brief one-day international in Cardiff, it will feel a bit like a neutral venue. The Welsh, not English, anthem will be sung at the opening. Andrew Strauss has played more recently at Brisbane and Adelaide than Cardiff; Andrew Flintoff and Paul Collingwood were members of the England side beaten by Wales there in 2002.
Unfortunately, the ECB's objective is to maximise, not home advantage, but revenue. The decision to award an Ashes Test to Cardiff was taken by a committee that had not played a game of first-class cricket between the lot of them. Much was to be said for awarding Cardiff a Test, but not an Ashes Test as its inaugural fixture. The gain in novelty is outweighed by the loss of tradition, and of home advantage.
In self-defence, the ECB like to point out that Trent Bridge did not bid for a Test this summer and Old Trafford needs a re-fit, which is true. But Nottinghamshire did not bid for an Ashes Test because they preferred to stage two of the seven one-day internationals that follow in September. If a seven-match series is not overload, which is it is, then for one ground to stage two matches – as Lord's will, in addition to Trent Bridge – is absurd. Thus, one bad piece of administration leads to another.
The likeliest consequence of Glamorgan's need to recoup the £3.2m which they bid for the Cardiff Test is a high-scoring draw on a slow pitch: and it would be a pity if the series starts with a phoney war after such intense anticipation. The Lord's Test follows after three days' break, and England can use their home advantage to introduce one or two fresh pace bowlers for the second of the back-to-back Tests.
In 2005 ducks in water blushed with embarrassment at the ease with which Kevin Pietersen took to Test cricket on his debut at Lord's. England v Australia at Lord's: the fixture which comes nearest to having everything. More relevant than the statistic that England have not won there since 1934 is that Pietersen will think he is the man to dominate the sport's most famous stage.
Edgbaston and Headingley make the second pair of back-to-back Tests. On average there has been one draw per Ashes series in England since 1989, and it would be no surprise if there were two this time. Not at Edgbaston, unless it rains, but quite probably at the Oval.
In any event, let us enjoy the pageant of human endeavour being stretched to the utmost over the next two months. Ashes series will no doubt soon be changed into a 25-match series of 20-over matches.

Toyota Motor has recalled around 2.3 million vehicles in the United States to fix a problem with their accelerator pedals, the company's US division announced on Thursday.
The company said the recall was to correct accelerator pedals on specific Toyota models that could "in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position".
The action was separate to an ongoing recall of approximately 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles that was begun last year due to a risk that loose driver-side floor mats could slip forward and jam the pedals.

It was a violent Thanksgiving week in Chicago for law enforcement with four police-involved shootings in a ten day stretch.
Friday, Nov. 18 — West Englewood (South Side)
It was just before midnight the Friday before Thanksgiving when officers witnessed 26-year-old Darius Jones shooting at a man in the 2000 block of West 69th Street on the city's South Side. According to police, the officers pulled over, got out of their car, and told Jones to drop his weapon. A police spokesman told the Chicago Tribune that Jones was still shooting at the man at that point. When Jones didn't drop his weapon, one of the officers opened fire, hitting Jones, who was pronounced dead at a hospital less than an hour later.
Police recovered a gun at the scene. Jones' alleged victim, a 26-year-old man, was hit in the abdomen and survived. No officers were injured.
The officer who fired was placed on 30-day leave as the Independent Police Review Authority investigates. An IPRA spokeswoman said if the incident was recorded, the video will be released within 60 days.
Wednesday, Nov. 23 — West Englewood (South Side)
About a mile away, and a few days later, another police involved shooting, this time on a battery call in the 1400 block of West 65th. Police say a sergeant arrived on the scene and started chasing a man who fit the attacker's description. The sergeant told investigators that 19-year-old Kajuan Raye turned around and pointed a gun at the sergeant twice during a foot chase. That's when the sergeant opened fire, killing Raye.
Police used a grid search, but no gun was recovered at the scene. Raye died of a gunshot wound to the back, and the Cook County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. In a Thanksgiving day news conference, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson announced he was stripping the unnamed sergeant of his police powers.
"Having been a police officer for 28 years, I know that this job is not easy and the decision to use force is extremely complex and must be made in seconds without the benefits of formal reviews and deliberations," said Johnson. "However, based on the little information we know at this point, I have concerns about this incident and feel this decision is in the best interest of the department and the people of Chicago as we await a methodical and impartial investigation into exactly what transpired."
The sergeant wasn't injured in the incident. Chicago police don't wear body cameras in the 7th District, but an IPRA spokeswoman said they're looking for witnesses to aid in their investigation.
Friday, Nov. 25 — Homan Square (West Side)
As Thanksgiving became Black Friday, and shoppers hunted for deals, officers on the West Side saw a shooting in progress in the 600 block of South Central Park Avenue. Police say 37-year-old Cleotha Mitchell was shooting at two people just after midnight.
"Officers while on patrol in the 11th District heard shots fired — responded to the scene of Harrison and Central Park and saw a subject standing over another subject shooting. The officers exited their vehicle, engaged that offender, and fatally shot him," said Chicago Police First Deputy Superintendent Kevin Navarro, according to WLS-TV in Chicago.
Police recovered a gun at the scene. One of Mitchell's alleged victims, 35-year-old Jeffery J. Banks, was killed in the incident. The other victim was shot in the arm. No officers were injured.
The officers involved in the shooting were placed on desk duty for 30 days, and IPRA is investigating.
Sunday, Nov. 27 — West Garfield Park (West Side)
As the media was tallying up citywide weekend violence numbers Sunday night (68 shot, eight of them fatal), Chicago police shot and killed a fourth person in nine days.
Police say 33-year-old Richard Grimes shot his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach Sunday night in the 11th District. Officers arrived around 11:30 p.m. in the 4600 block of West Adams and were met with Grimes, who began shooting at police. Officers established a perimeter, and Grimes again shot at police before officers opened fire and shot him. He died just after midnight.
Police recovered a gun at the scene. Grimes' alleged victim, 24-year-old Ashley Williams, was in critical condition Monday. The couple's unborn child, due next month, was killed.
One officer had an injury "consistent with a graze wound from a bullet," according to the Chicago Sun Times. Another officer was treated for unknown injuries.
The officers involved in the shooting will be placed on desk duty for 30 days, per CPD policy, and IPRA is investigating.

Honey isn't all sweetness, experts warn
Updated 10:00 pm, Tuesday, December 30, 2008
Apiculturists, those who study or raise bees and collect honey, worry that the public is sweetly ignorant when it comes to the buzzing insects and their product.
Michael Burgett, a leading international bee wizard from Oregon State University, says the first thing that Americans need to understand is the role that honeybees play in pollinating this country's agriculture.
"You can thank the bee industry for about one-third of all the food you eat and nationally that's between $15 billion and $18 billion worth of food products," the professor emeritus says. "That's the prime reason we want a healthy bee population."

But Burgett, considered a talented curmudgeon by many in the field, doesn't completely agree with others that the total agricultural world as we know it will disappear without bees.
"Who the hell was pollinating before all those (people in) Conestoga wagons came down the Oregon Trail and started planting apple trees?" he asked.
He says that in Oregon and Washington alone there are something like 900 native catalogued bee species.
"That's a lot and they handle the general environmental background pollination and they have been doing it for millions of years," he said, quickly adding that the system today is far more efficient.
"An apple grower want to put a million honeybees in his 100 acres of apples and all it takes is a phone call to a beekeeper. Much better," he said.
Bees usually have a brief but very active life, Burgett explained. So what killed them before the mysterious Colony Collapse Disease arrived in the bee yard?
"The fancy term is physiological senescence," he said. "They literally wear out."
A worker bee lives about six weeks, with the first half spent inside the hive.
"They feed the queen, feed her sisters and make honey," Burgett said. The bee then begins a new life as a forager bee, flying out to collect nectar and pollen.
He said a bee finally leaving the safe environment of the hive is analogous to a teenager leaving home.
"There are a lot of things out there that'll get you, and if you avoid the predators -- and there are many -- you're just going to wear out," he said, citing a Germany study which reported that "bees are programmed to fly 1,000 kilometers, and after that, they go to hell."
As for honey, Jack White, the USDA's first real expert on the subject, defined the sweet brew in his 1980 book as "essentially a highly concentrated water solution of two sugars, dextrose and levulose, with small amounts of at least 22 other more complex sugars."
He added, "The principal physical characteristics and behavior of honey are due to its sugars, but the minor constituents -- such as flavoring materials, pigments, acids, and minerals -- are largely responsible for the differences among individual honey types."
The flavors of honey are varied and to the purists, as complex and individual as wine. But do consumers looking at the score or more of amber-filled bears, jars, bottle and jugs crowded on the store shelf understand what they're looking at?
Many of those who produce or sell honey don't believe consumers really understand what they're buying.
Bruce Wolk, director of marketing for the National Honey Board, said he's concerned that more than a third of "people who use honey every single day believe that something is added to a bottle of honey, beside honey, and a large percentage . . . have no idea what's inside the bottle."
Gary Grigg, the president of Silverbow Honey in Moses Lake, provides honey for many large grocery and chain stores. He also said he doesn't believe most of the consumers know what they're buying.
"You know, honey is honey, sweet and sticky. I think a lot of them just buy on price," said Grigg.
Burgett points out that honey has a reputation thousands of years old.
"It has long been considered a very, very pure product and its just pisses me off greatly when people destroy good honey with cheap sugary additives and adulterations with health implications like residue from illegal antibiotics," he said.

"Miscarriage D&C"
About: Royal Lancaster Infirmary Royal Lancaster Infirmary Lancaster LA1 4RP
Posted via NHS Choices
During my time on ward 16 I was treated with dignity and respect. The Early Pregnancy team supported me to choose the procedure which was best for me and I was given time to think and reflect with my husband in a purposely designed room. All members of the team were kind and caring at this difficult time. I did not need follow up support but this was offered to me and I felt confident to return home shortly after the D&C knowing support was only a phonecall away should I feel uncomfortable.

Cardiff display showed Cullen's men have workrate and passion to land Pro12 title
Sometimes the work and preparation put in at training leading up to a game shows from the off come matchday, and last Saturday's victory in Cardiff was one such occasion.
It is clear back in Leinster HQ that the youngsters see an opportunity to dominate proceedings at this time, and a wind- and rain-sodden Cardiff was not going to get in the way of the opportunity for points, like this weekend against Zebre also provides.
Talk can be cheap in professional sport, but in Jack Conan's interview after the game - he was a deserving man of the match winner - he spoke about the determination during the week which led to their belief in the game. When you're able to walk the walk too, it makes the miserable weather conditions insignificant.
Sometimes you learn more about a team's mental state from the way they defend than the way they attack, and currently Leinster have a belief and workrate not regularly seen this season.
With Kurt McQuilkin only half a season embedded back in Leinster, his stamp on the game was highlighted by a dogged, structured defence that Cardiff in the comfort of home could not penetrate.
If the Leinster management were content on Saturday evening, so too were the Irish management. From the start, Cian Healy obliterated the Cardiff scrum. Unfortunately for him, his abundance of power was over-used at a crucial time that resulted in a Cardiff scrum from an attacking Leinster position.
With Cian Healy back playing well and the current form of Jack McGrath, the loosehead position has never been so strong for both province and country. This gives the future of both squads an attacking scrum platform, which has always been an asset to any team - no matter what generation.
But in the end, it was the workrate of their pack that won Leinster the game. No disrespect to the backline, where there were great individual performances - particularly captain Isa Nacewa and Ian Madigan - but with the lineout a lottery, the game was always going to be won at scrum time and on the ground.
Last week's away game proved that sometimes passion and workrate are the best attributes for success. And in the final period of the season ahead of Leinster, those traits will be needed the most.
I think their determination to overcome the elements and distractions and win away to Cardiff is an indication that Leinster have the ability to win this year's Pro12. The importance of winning this league will give confidence to all involved in Leinster, and bridge this period of transition with the exciting times ahead.
Maximum points is a must this Sunday away to Zebre and for a team that battled in the trenches of Cardiff last weekend, it will be difficult mental challenge to have the same motivation against the league minnows in Italy.
Next week's game against Ospreys will be a chance to prove to the home crowd and themselves that Leinster can finish well this season.
The rehabilitation of Healy and Mike Ross for the national team is a thankless task for Leinster. Although, the loss of Mike McCarthy and Sean O'Brien from Ireland might eventually be Leinster's gain.
Through a season that has had its ups and downs, the player production line has remained steady with young players taking their opportunities when given them, while their pride in the jersey shines through when they faced difficult fixtures in a wayward season.
Hayden Triggs, Ben Te'o and particularly Nacewa, have done what they were supposed to do, by steadying the ship when Leinster have been down their frontliners.
Nacewa's leadership has been evident throughout and a lesson to other provinces and the national side.
Come April, Leinster should be in pole position in this league, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Slow Cooker Thai-Style Chicken and Pumpkin Soup
Although this recipe has a lot of ingredients - don't be intimidated - it's an easy make-ahead meal packed full of nutrients and flavor. For the vegatarian this recipe is easily modified by substituting garbonzo beans (chick peas) for chicken and veg. broth for chicken broth. This dish is super hearty and is more like a stew than a soup. Although there's a ton of pumpkin to thinken it up, it doesn't taste like pumpkin and will please even a picky eater. Enjoy!
1 TBS olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
salt and pepper
1 large white onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic
1 TBS minced fresh ginger (I use a cheese grater)
1/2 to 3/4 TSP crushed red pepper flakes
2 stalks celery diced
2 large carrots diced
1 can (15oz) solid- packed pumpkin
1/2 cup mango nectar (find it in the aisle with hispanic foods)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 TBS rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, divided
1/2 cup milk (2% or whole)
1 TBS cornstarch
2-4 cups hot cooked jasmine/basmati rice
3 green onions, minced
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper to coat. Stir occationally and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add onion, garlic, ginger, red pepper, and cook 1-2 minutes longer until fragrant. Remove from heat and add to slow cooker.
Add to the slow cooker celery, carrot, mango nectar, peanut butter and broth. Stir to combine and add a little water if it's too thick. Cook 6-8 Hours on low and 4 hours on high.
Stir in vinegar and half of the cilantro. Mix milk and cornstarch together (this to thicken the soup. Omit cornstarch if soup is already thick!) and add to the slow-cooker. Continue to cook an additional 10 min.
To serve, ladle soup into bowls and use an icecream scoop to top with rice. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onion. You can also serve with a lime wedge if you have them on hand.

Where we last left off, I was working in the yard on a Bible study. It went really well, and we all got to water balloon Peter playing the part of Stephen. Then on Saturday I joined ed, rocky, lafalda, rael, jamey, and other non-blogging friends at the outdoor cinema. Every Saturday during the summer, some community-oriented citizens show a movie on the side of an old school building. Anyone can come and watch for free. They were showing Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which I must add was much better than I remember. If you haven't watched it in years, I would suggest checking it out. Since the motorcycle is now running, I rode it there. Here's a nice picture of Jamey checking it out.
Sunday, Shannon and I went up to the lake (Flathead lake is "the lake" by the way). My brother and his wife were there along with my parents and a bunch of other family. I got some waterskiing in, and we went to this cool restaurant/bar on the lake. My dad anchored the boat in the bay and rode in with my uncle because they just didn't have enough dock space. Unfortunately, Shannon and I had to work on Monday so we came back to Missoula that evening. However, I got off work at noon, and went back up on the motorcycle. Shannon had to work. I decided to stay the night, and just come back early on Tuesday before work. It was a cold ride home in the morning, but worth it.
Wednesday, we played Russian Scrabble at the Shack. Really, The Shack is the best place to play. I got lucky with the letters and won for the second time in a row!
Thursday, I attended a great Bible study of Acts 10 and 11 taught by lafalda and Rocky. We also had a guest named Brent, who is taking his family to Ireland where they will be college campus missionaries. It was exciting to hear from him.
Even though I had to miss sci-fi Friday on the Scifi channel, I had a blast working the BBQ at my aunt an uncle's company BBQ. Quite smoky, but worth the money and fun. Peter and Krysty came along to work the big inflateables for the kids. I think they had a bunch of fun too. It was great seeing a bunch of the family. Here's a photo of two of my cousins.
Saturday I worked on dismantling the huge cat house I built a couple of winters ago, and then in the evening, Shannon and I went to the outdoor cinema with Aaron. Aaron's a great high school friend who I haven't seen in about five years. He was just visiting from Reno. Before we went to the movie we stopped by the mall to get some Hoagieville, and check out the rules on the Dance Dance Revolution contest. I just may enter. Well, I need to wrap this up. I'm heading to dinner at Fiesta En Jaliso to bid farewell to Dawn who is leaving for Kazakhstan on Tuesday.

In May 2009, the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Patagonia' released in a black and Academy Blue palette with orange accents to mimic their namesake brand's mountain logo. They were something of a sleeper upon initial release but the same is unlikely to be true of this new 'Patagonia' Dunk Mid SB. These joints don't simply reprise the same color scheme, but rather opt for a rich outdoorsy mix of tonal browns, forest green and brick red, a palette that you'll also see on a set of related gear.

The Los Angeles Chargers' New Logo Is Getting No Love
Out with the old and in with the new.
The Chargers announced they are moving from San Diego to Los Angeles and even have a new logo to usher in this new era.
Problem is, the logo is not going over very well. Twitter had a field day bashing it, much to the chagrin of the poor designer who created it. We hope he's not on social media because if he is his self-esteem is going to take the kind of beating the Chargers have endured the last two seasons when they only won nine games combined. Yeah, it's not a hit and some people can't help but notice it looks a tad too similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Lightning ones.

The Chargers' new logo looks like the logo of a football team in a movie where there's a football game but the movie isn't about football.

Based on the quality of their new logo, the Chargers literally decided to move to L.A. last night.

There is some good news, though. The logo in question may not be the final one, which bodes well, considering the response.

The German export machine was back in top gear in September, after two months of slowdown, official data showed on Monday boosting further the German trade surplus which helps to underpin the euro.
German sales abroad rose by 3.0 percent in the month to 84.3 billion euros (118 billion dollars), adjusted initial data from the statistics office Destatis showed.
At Goldman Sachs investment bank, Dirk Schumacher commented: "The data for external trade are volatile from month to month but the figures for September are in line (with the outlook) for strong continuing growth of exports."
At ING bank, economist Carsten Brzeski said that despite action to hold down state budgets in other countries in the eurozone and the slowdown in world demand, products "made in Germany"' continued to sell very well.
This trend was not likely to slowdown soon, he said.
Compared with the data for September last year, German exports have surged by 22.5 percent.
Last year Germany was overtaken as the biggest exporter in the world by China. So far this year it has exported goods worth 703.2 billion euros.
In September, imports fell by 1.5 percent in the month to 68.7 billion euros.
Consequently the balance of trade for the month showed an increased surplus, taking the surplus so far this year to 114.0 billion euros, or an increase of 16.5 percent from the equivalent figure last year.
Meanwhile, the balance of payments on current account, the broad measure of all current payments into and out of the country including payments for trade, services and financial transfers, showed an increased surplus of 85.7 billion euros so far this year from 75.7 billion euros at the same time last year.
The trade surplus in Germany, the biggest economy in Europe, is an underlying strong point for the eurozone, but is also a matter of concern in that, together with the payments surplus, it demonstrates divergence of economic performance among eurozone countries and notably with France.
The German surplus has been rising since the end of last year on the back of recovery throughout the world economy.
This activity has pushed the German economy ahead. The government is expecting gross domestic product to grow by 3.4 percent this year.

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey was placed on the seven-day disabled list with concussion symptoms on Tuesday, a day after he took a fastball to the helmet while batting. Nick Hundley projects to soak up most of Posey's minutes and Tim Federowicz has been called up from Triple-A to play backup.
The loudest and least forgettable sound of the afternoon was the thwack in the first inning when Taijuan Walker threw a pitch that Posey could not avoid.
"He just bowed his neck and went out there and pitched very well", San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said.
A 94 miles per hour pitch from Arizona Diamondbacks starter Taijuan Walker hit Posey in the crown of his helmet in the first inning of the Giants' 4-1 win.
Lamb got to Jeff Samardzija (0-2) with his triple in the third to extend his hitting streak to eight games after the Giants starter gave up back-to-back singles and a one-out walk to load the bases.
On Tuesday, general manager Bobby Evans said Posey was experiencing concussion symptoms, although he did not appear to lose consciousness during Monday's game, according to ESPN.
Two, if Posey's injury was going to keep him out for more than 1-2 games, a DL stint is nearly completely necessary.
"Talking to him after, he said, 'I feel fine, ' " Moore said.
Crawford added a sacrifice fly and Melancon did not allow the tying run to come to the plate while recording his second save in less than 24 hours, and his first in front of his new fans. There's a couple of guys who haven't got a hit. Hundley has three hits, including a home run, in eight career at-bats vs. Ray. He struggled to throw strikes at times, but he relied on the strikeout to get through his 5 1/3 frames.
Yet the Giants have won 13 of their last 16 home openers, going 13-4 in such games since AT&T Park opened in 2000.
Still, I think he'll be good with the victory. He was a little worn out, it was deep into his outing and I think it just happened to hit David.
Diamondbacks: Bench coach Ron Gardenhire is away from the club, with Jerry Narron the acting bench coach.
First pitch against the Arizona Dimaondbacks is slated for 1:35 p.m., but there will be plenty of pregame festivities as the Giants open their 60th season in the city by the bay.

text: Me and a teammate just got done hitting for a couple of hours down at our university's courts. I have been playing not so well as of late so we decided to just work on groundstroke depth and consistancy today. I was hitting with my trusty bat, the Fischer Pro Tour FT and seemed to be not cleanly hitting quite a few balls. I grabbed one of his Pure Drive +'s just for a minute and sent every ball about 5 feet long. I was about to put it down, but he told me just to become completely relaxed, not try so hard, and make sure I had a controlled and fluid swing with a good follow through. Results: Everyball deep, but in the court with better pace than when I was hitting out with my Fischer, more accuracy, more consistancy. I just felt much better. He started moving me and I was getting to everything and placing it well. All in all, I think the Pure Drive is a good stick and I am going to take it out a couple of more times. If I continue to experience this, I may have found a new stick. To all those who have dissed the Pure Drive line for being "too powerful" and having "not enough control", try just comfortably hitting...it did wonders for me.

Any suggestions? It would be nice to keep the theme of the evening so I guess ideally I wish the Hard Rock Cafe was closer, but are there any fun rock and roll diners in the area? I'd settle for any decent places to eat if the theme thing doesn't work out. Thanks!

ST. LOUIS - Edwin Jackson has been very, very good at times this season.
Tonight was not one of those times.
The Nationals' righty went just 1 1/3 innings tonight, allowing nine runs (eight earned). He gave up six hits, walked four and got only one swing-and-miss all night, which is incredibly low for a power pitcher who usually has no problem missing bats.
Manager Davey Johnson tried to give Jackson a chance to pitch out of trouble and eat up innings, but it just wasn't happening. He had to come get his starter after he'd retired just three batters and registered four outs.
"I don't even want to talk about it," Johnson said with a laugh after the game.
This was the shortest start of the season for Jackson, who just didn't have it tonight.
"Just wasn't a good day for Edwin," Johnson said. "He just couldn't locate, and that was the problem. Just one of those days. ... When he came over the plate, he was usually behind, in those hitters counts. Good fastball hitters throughout that lineup."
Gio Gonzalez struggled early in his outing yesterday, allowing three runs in the first and getting into trouble in the second. But Johnson gave him a lengthy rope, and Gonzalez settled down and threw solid six innings. The Nationals' skipper gave Jackson the same chance to settle in, but he allowed five of the first six hitters he faced in the second inning to reach, bringing Johnson from the dugout.
After a start like this, it's fair to question what type of impact tonight's outing has on Jackson's positioning in the Nats' playoff rotation. But Johnson said he's going to look at the big picture and won't put much weight on this one.
"I just throw it out," Johnson said. "If he usually has trouble, it's early, and he couldn't right the ship. They're in kinda playoff mode. They're going to jump all over him. Getting behind, walking people, just gets them more fired up."
Johnson turned to his bench early, with it being a 9-1 game in the fifth inning. He ended up taking out every one of his starting position players except Danny Espinosa, who moved from second base to shortstop, giving his regulars a few innings of rest.
"I don't think they really needed it," Johnson said, "but we'll call that a rest day."
The kicker tonight is that this loss didn't hurt the Nationals nearly as much as it would have if the Braves had won. An Atlanta loss in New York still leaves the Nats able to lock up the NL East tomorrow with a win and a Braves loss.
"That was surprising. I was surprised," Johnson said of the Braves' loss to the Mets. "But we just turn the page on that one."

How do I determine my DROID's date of birth?
underneath your battery you will find on one line a number in the format of xx/xx.
That stands for the week and year of manufacture.
Mine says 08/10, so that would be the 8th week of 2010. Thank you for the quick response. Love the phone!
Cool I never knew that date was even there. Mine is 46/09 so around the end of November up to the first week of December I think.

Utah basketball: Will Clyburn transferring to Iowa State
BaneOfHedgehog Bothell, WAApril 13, 2011 8:02 a.m.
Yes, indeed. Players will come flocking out of the woodwork to now play for the Utes - the soon-to-be-dominant program in the Pac-10'ish. I'm sure San Diego is even quivering in fear.
The Disillusionist Alexandria, VAApril 13, 2011 5:40 a.m.
I guess the "open relationship" solution wasn't so effective after all. They usually aren't (or so I hear).
Wasatch Al South Jordan, UTApril 12, 2011 10:13 p.m.
I guess Clyburg doesn't care to travel to and play in Los Angeles, San Franciso, Seattle, Denver, Phoenix. He'd rather travel to Ames, Stillwater, Norman, Lubbock and Manhatten ---- Kansas. Oh well, at least he's closer to home.
CougFaninTX Frisco, TXApril 12, 2011 9:39 p.m.
I wonder when we'll learn where O'Brien is going?
Oregon State (11 - 20) must be thrilled that the Utes are joining the PAC.
bballjunkie Cedar Hills, UTApril 12, 2011 9:34 p.m.
Hedgie way to look on the positive side of things for once! However, Let the train wreck continue to roll to the bottom of the pac 12!
sammyg Springville, UTApril 12, 2011 9:26 p.m.
Going, going, GONE! ... and Iowa State at that. Ouch!
Time to move on. Clyburn did. Hope the carnage ends soon.
Laser Iowa City, IAApril 12, 2011 8:55 p.m.
Not a good way to enter the Pac 12, football is failing, basketball has failed, the track team...no track team, baseball, average or worse in the MWC, will get cleaned in PAC 12, swimming won't be able to compete, their is only one bright spot...gymnastics. Utah has been leveled across the board and enters their new league whimpering.
Bottom Line Draper, UTApril 12, 2011 8:05 p.m.
@bookonwomn. For Clyburn 3-13 isn't that bad considering what he just endured.
Dyer Gary Bountiful, UTApril 12, 2011 6:58 p.m.
utah will have no trouble in replacing clyburn. we will get plenty of players now we are in the pac 12
Where's Stockton ??? Bowling Green, OHApril 12, 2011 6:26 p.m.
Hedgie...where are your loyaties??? You utey's just lost the guy. Your best player... It's like a funeral dude. Marcus Antony would say. We have come to bury Clyburn not praise him...because he ran out on you in your worst time of need.
stonewall Cottonwood Heights, UTApril 12, 2011 6:24 p.m.
This is getting pretty bad. We'll see what Krystowiak has up his sleeve, but I anticipate the Utah job being a long-term project. You can't have the kind of turnover last year and then yet again this year, particularly when it's your best players (Brown, Henderson, Clyburn, O'Brien) and expect the ship to right itself anytime soon. Hopefully stability comes again and the program can get up and running, but this doesn't bode well for Utah basketball in the next few years, especially considering the Pac-12 looks to be rebounding somewhat in basketball with Arizona, UCLA, and Washington finally starting to re-establish themselves a bit
bookonwomen Beverly Hills, CAApril 12, 2011 5:15 p.m.
Clyburn said ISU is a real contender. Iowa St. was 3-13 in the big 12. What a powerhouse!
mussingaround Palo Alto, CAApril 12, 2011 5:10 p.m.
This can't be!
Will would rather play for Iowa State, which finished dead last in the Big 12, than play for the mighty PAC 12 Utes?
hedgehog Ann Arbor, MIApril 12, 2011 5:08 p.m.
Iowa State might be a factor in a couple of years. Korie Lucious was one of the best players Izzo ever brought to East Lansing.

Hardrockhaven.net conducted an interview with vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth of New Jersey thrash metal veterans OVERKILL on November 5 at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. You can now watch the chat below.Asked if he got to keep his health insurance since his bout with pneumonia which forced OVERKILL to drop off the "Dark Roots Of Thrash" tour with TESTAMENT in February, Ellsworth said: "This whole thing affects me a little differently, because my wife is, she's a Dutch citizen. So I can get insurance through The Netherlands, and have been. I mean, it covers me here. Because of the way I travel, the policy that I would have to have, even from 'Mr. Everybody Can Afford It Now,' [laughs] would be tens of thousands of dollars, because you're going to places that, in some cases, are Third World countries, and [they would say to me], 'We're not covering this, we're not covering that.' But we have this policy that was… It's not cheap, but it covers everything. If I get sick in Russia, they'll fly me to Germany because the hospital is better, and then fly my wife from the U.S. to be with me in Germany, and pay for the flights. And it's also a travel-slash-health insurance, so if we lose all our guitars and I have this insurance, we're covered. So it's pretty good. It's health insurance, but it insures the way I live." He continued: "The whole Obamacare thing [a.k.a Affordable Care Act] wouldn't have worked for me; it was out of control. And it won't cover me in other places, that's thing. You go to a Third World country and 'you don't have your shot for this, you're gonna get dysentery and we're not covering it.' So… It's really a joke, actually. [laughs]" OVERKILL is putting the finishing touches on its new album for March 2014 release in North America via eOne Music and in Europe through Nuclear Blast Records. Speaking to Steppin' Out magazine, Ellsworth stated about the upcoming CD: "The new record has a blend of what we've done over the past half decade. I'm noticing it's a more punchy heavy metal record with more dimension than the last record had. Where is it going to end up on the food chain? I really don't know. But my feeling is it's an eclectic collection of moments from us. 'The Electric Age' came across, to me, as kind of a two-dimensional thrash record. This one is punchy but has a whole different bunch of ways to go and things to hear on it." As previously reported, OVERKILL released a very special limited tour edition of its latest album, "The Electric Age", in Europe on April 19 via Nuclear Blast Records. The limited 2CD tour edition includes the regular album as well as a four additional live tracks on a bonus CD, recorded at The Metro in Sidney, Australia on September 25, 2010. "The Electric Age" sold 6,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 77 on The Billboard 200 chart.

As the Best of 2013 continues on MLSsoccer.com, we're counting down the 10 most important stories of the year in Major League Soccer. On Dec. 30, we'll reveal the Story of the Year, as voted by our panel of 20 editors, writers, videographers and statistics specialists.
Senior editor Nick Firchai is up next at No. 6 with his look at a big decision for Jason Kreis, who opted to leave the comforts of Real Salt Lake for a new challenge with New York City FC.
There's really no way to put it lightly: Job security in the coaching ranks of Major League Soccer was at a premium in 2013.
Eight of 19 clubs will end the calendar year next week with a different man in charge than the one who ushered them in 12 months ago, and two of those – FC Dallas and Chivas USA – don't even know yet who that man will be when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve.
During a year when we saw the reigning Coach of the Year leave town, a club icon let go during a summer swoon and a decisive owner bring down the scythe on his second gaffer in two seasons, how many MLS coaches were truly safe? Of course there are the league's untouchables – Bruce Arena and Dominic Kinnear always sleep well this time of year – but outside of just a handful of faces returning in 2014, who didn't break a sweat at some point along the way?
- BEST OF 2013: Check out all the Stories of the Year
Here's one: Jason Kreis. When nearly half the coaches in the league had one foot in boiling water, he ordered the lobster.
Try and recall another coaching shift like this one in league history. Just try. Is it as big as Kreis going from his DIY league powerhouse at Real Salt Lake to the great unknown of New York City FC, the expansion franchise backed by Manchester City that, despite its financial fortitude, has no players, no stadium and no history?
Bruce Arena's rescue mission to save the LA Galaxy in 2008? Sigi Schmid leaving Columbus for an expansion debut in Seattle a year later? Peter Nowak bringing soccer to Philadelphia in 2010?
All made their share of headlines, but there's something that separates New York City in 2015. Forget the big-market, small-market talk. New York City will be the market in two years, because no one knows what to expect, and with one of the league's best coaches in charge of one of the most demanding organizations, it will be absolutely fascinating to watch.
So how exactly did Kreis get caught up in all this? Trace it back to the departure of his good friend and former RSL owner Dave Checketts, who sold his stake in the club to Utah businessman Dell Loy Hansen back in January. Even in March, RSL staff members – including some on the coaching staff – began wondering if Kreis would return at year's end, which of them would last and which would get pinched by a successful but fiscally conservative owner who somewhat ominously told The Salt Lake Tribune weeks into the season that he was a man who fixes "broken things."
Without a new deal on the table for 2014 and beyond, Kreis lived in limbo for the much of the season. With no clear indication the club would pony up to bring him back, he accepted the hand of Manchester City execs and flew to England in late summer to discuss the NYCFC job, a trip that would eventually help land him the gig and lingered over RSL's entire run to the MLS Cup final.
Although there was some uncertainty among Salt Lake insiders that Kreis would take the job even up to the final days before his decision, he knew he was ready for the challenge. RSL had become the safest route possible after seven straight years in the postseason, and he was resting easy with a nice place up in Park City and exactly the kind of players he wanted in his locker room.
Said Kreis: "Now's our time to really see if there's another big mountain to climb."
And then he was gone, with little additional insight into the most intriguing part: What exactly NYCFC will do with him now. Asked last month by MLSsoccer.com about upcoming plans for Kreis amid the fallout of his RSL departure, a club official put it this way: "Who knows? He's gone. He's part of the Manchester City machine now."
We won't see Kreis in NYCFC colors until January, when he's officially rolled out during a press conference in New York. We won't see him coach again for more than a year, after some serious immersion with the mothership at Man. City. We won't know if he's a success until summer 2015. We might not know if all this was worth it for two years, or maybe more.
But with a story this good, of course we can wait.
by Jonah Freedman
On a depressing Wednesday back in February, it seemed about as unlikely as a World Cup berth. That was the low point, a Hexagonal-opening defeat in Honduras so deflating that Jurgen Klinsmann's job security was in question, and a berth in Brazil seemed in serious jeopardy.
If anyone predicted what happened next, here's hoping they stopped in Vegas. The USMNT responded to their most dire hour by bagging a draw at the Azteca and then, starting in June, ripping off a program-record 12 straight victories that saw them move atop the Hex and cruise to their first Gold Cup title in six years.
It was the summer in which the US got their groove back, and instilled a sense of confidence in Klinsmann's men that they could – and should – run with the best in the world. And given their daunting draw in Brazil next summer, they'll need every ounce of that resolve.
