Loved ones gather to reflect on Prahalad's influence as mentor, collaborator, and visionary.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — On Sept. 11, the Ross community welcomed members of C.K. Prahalad's family to a celebration of the noted scholar's life and legacy. The service, held at the Ross School's Blau Auditorium, featured remarks by Prahalad's wife, Gayatri, as well as his children, Deepa and Murali. Colleagues and alumni, including professors M.S. Krishnan, Ted London, Venkat Ramaswamy, Gary Hamel, PhD '90, and Praveen Suthrum, MBA
'04, among others, delivered presentations.
Prahalad joined the University of Michigan faculty in 1977 and was of the most beloved teachers and influential thinkers on campus. He served as distinguished fellow at the University's William Davidson Institute, where he played an important advisory role for the institute's Base of the Pyramid research initiative. In 1993 Prahalad was named the Harvey C. Fruehauf Professor of Business Administration, and in 2005 he was awarded the University's highest honor when he was named a Distinguished University Professor. At the time of his death, Prahalad held the title of Paul and Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Professor of Corporate Strategy. In addition, the best-selling author and world-renowned strategy expert was twice ranked the world's most influential business thinker, most recently in October 2009, by the leadership consulting firm CrainerDearlove.
True to form, Prahalad dictated his final column for Harvard Business Review on April 8 from his hospital bed in San Diego, Calif. He passed away eight days later on April 16.

Sometimes there's a stark contrast between the player who takes the field on a Friday night and the person he is off it.
Flowery Branch High cross country runner Daniel Martinez didn't win the Region 7-AAA race last Thursday at Unicoi State Park, but without his 16-minute, 39-second fourth-place finish, Class AAA's top-ranked Falcons may have not won the region title.
ATLANTA - Unbeaten Lowndes County remained No. 1 in Class AAAAA of the Georgia high school football poll in a week that saw few upsets of ranked teams.
A brotherhood, a family, a stone wall. Those are a few of the words that the seven members of the Gainesville offensive line used to describe themselves, but their coach Bruce Miller had the best one-word summation: Unity.
A brotherhood, a family, a stone wall. Those are a few of the words that the seven members of the Gainesville offensive line used to describe themselves, but their coach Bruce Miller had the best one-word summation: Unity.
Gainesville High School is pre-selling tickets for Friday's Region 7-AAA title game between the Red Elephants and Flowery Branch all week in the school's front office.
Hall County high school fans have salivated for a game of this magnitude for a long, long time. The matchup for the ages has finally been set.
Hall County high school fans have salivated for a game of this magnitude for a long, long time. The matchup for the ages has finally been set.
JEFFERSON -- No. 6 Jefferson clinched its first region championship since 1977 and earned a berth in the state playoffs with a hair-raising 17-16 victory over North Oconee on Friday night.
Riverside Military Academy's 37-20 win against Union County on Friday night was important on a number of levels.
West Forsyth coach Frank Hepler gambled and won Friday night against Chestatee when his team's 2-point conversion after an overtime touchdown was the difference in a 42-41 victory.
The North Hall High football team clinched the 7A-AAA subregion title with a 53-7 win over Gilmer Friday in Ellijay.
With one week left to play in the regular season, the playoff picture is getting clearer. Except of course in Region 8-AAAA and Region 7-AAA, where the teams that make the postseason could come down to a mathematical equation.
OAKWOOD -- Sometimes a team is motivated by more than just a desire to win.
OAKWOOD -- On a chilly night, it took the Gainesville Red Elephants one half to heat up. And when they finally got hot, there was no stopping them.
ATLANTA -- There's still another week of high school football left to play, but the Buford High football team already has a reason to celebrate.
JEFFERSON - Jefferson High football coach Bill Navas says his program has learned about the bitter disappointment of losing a chance at a region title. He just hopes the sixth-ranked Dragons (8-0, 7-0 Region 8-AA) aren't doomed to repeat the past this season.
Hunter Mallard survived the heat. In fact, the blistering temperatures and humidity helped Mallard with his performance at the USA Track & Field National Junior Olympic Championships on Saturday in the Houston suburb of Humble, Texas.
Tennis can provide tense moments in the heat of competition. But Chestatee High's Grace Brown and Haley King have a way of navigating those tougher points with humor and a keen understanding of their fellow doubles partner.
All-Area Boys
Success on the tennis court hasn't come by chance for Beau Millwood. The Flowery Branch standout's relentless preparation and improved nutrition paved the way for a strong junior campaign in 2014.
Kelly Davis will remember the 2014 season for more reasons than what happened on the tennis court.
The official start of fall conditioning for football teams comes Friday, beginning five days of workouts leading up to when teams can actually practice in pads.
Billy Wells has lived in northern Hall County for the past six years while working as a coach and athletic director in Gwinnett County.
Ben Corley's background could go a long way toward making him a coach's best friend.
Lakeview Academy athletic director Deuce Roark will see a lot of familiar faces this year, both within the walls of his own school and from the teams the Lions' athletic programs compete against.
It's been a banner year for soccer in the United States, where record numbers of viewers watched the U.S. escape from the Group of Death and into the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
To those who knew him, Keaton Coker was a face and voice of strength through tremendous adversity.
Jimmy Lawler has watched Flowery Branch High School grow on a near-daily basis since its infancy in 2002.
Flowery Branch High Principal Dr. Jason Carter said the school expresses sincere condolences to the family of Sharon and Miles Coker over the loss of their son Keaton Coker, who died Tuesday evening following a long battle with brain cancer.

Blaze engulfs another Halifax County home
- Last Updated on 07:13 AM 12/24/12
- BY Doug Ford
James "Jim" Hazelwood wasn't at home Friday afternoon when a fire consumed his story and a half frame/log dwelling at 1051 Covington Trail, but nephew Roger Hazelwood, a lieutenant with the Clover Volunteer Fire Department, didn't know that until he arrived at the scene to help fight the blaze.
"He stays here part-time. Thank goodness his truck wasn't here when I got here," said a relieved Hazelwood, part of a group of 24 personnel from five county fire departments and the county rescue squad responding to the fire, which was reported at approximately 4 p.m.
Crews were at the scene until shortly after 5:30 p.m.
Clover Volunteer Fire Department sent two trucks and 12 personnel to fight the fire, Triangle Volunteer Fire Department responded with three trucks and four men, Scottsburg Volunteer Fire Department with one truck and two men, Liberty Volunteer Fire Department with a tanker and two men, and Halifax Volunteer Fire Department with one fireman, according to Hazelwood.
Halifax County Rescue Squad responded with three personnel if needed.
Fortunately they weren't, but the house, which is at least 30-years-old, is a total loss, according to Roger Hazelwood, who believes the fire started in the kitchen area where a wood stove is located.
"That's the only source of heat he had," said Hazelwood while pointing to a pile of fresh-cut firewood near the house.
Hazelwood, who estimated the value of the house with all its contents at $35,000, added the family wanted to thank everybody who came out to help fight the fire.
Friday's fire marked the second time in as many days that a house fire has taken a home away from a county resident, with a Thursday morning house fire consuming a single-story home on Woods Creek Lane, just off Bethel Road.

Thanks Chowhounders!

John Wesley Harding helped set in motion a reevaluation — and a reaffirmation — of rock & roll root values. In a short time, old and new blues guitarists were enjoying fresh currency, gospel singers were scoring pop hits, Everly Brothers-style groups like Crosby, Stills and Nash were finding a mass audience, and even country & western style was meeting with a new reception. This last trend, in particular, disturbed some critics a year later, when Dylan recorded an LP of lovely and pure country songs, Nashville Skyline, that included a raggedy duet with C&W star Johnny Cash. Since country was widely viewed as the music of a working-class sensibility and since it represented a conservative audience that was seen as a stalwart supporter of the war in Vietnam, did this mean that Dylan had now switched political sides? Or had he simply lost faith in political solutions altogether? The truth was, folks like Dylan and his cohorts in the Band — who had emerged in their own meaningful right with Music From Big Pink and the Band — were simply trying to offer a saner, more embracing alternative to the rancorous spirit that had alienated many everyday Americans from the rock revolution. Dylan and the Band understood that there was still much to love about America and its people, despite their grand failings; in addition, there was no way the young could alienate the working- and middle-class masses and still win a genuine revolution.
In late 1969, the Band's leader, guitarist Robbie Robertson, described his and Dylan's new music as a refutation of "the punky attitude that had to do with music — hate your mother and stab your father."
"So what if your parents did do you wrong?" Robertson asked. "Maybe they did, but so what? I'm tired of hearing . . . Jim Morrison and those people. I just think they're a drag. Even if that is their situation, who cares? That's got nothing to do with music."
Plenty of other artists, of course, had fewer reservations about offering music as a force of division or rebellion. Among them were the Doors (who, indeed, had sung gleefully about the prospect of offing dad and fucking mom), the Velvet Underground (who had popularized songs about S&M and heroin addiction), Iggy Pop and the Stooges (who acted out impulses of self-destruction), the Mothers of Invention (who looked like bikers and played like prodigies) and MC5 (a white Detroit band that was openly dedicated to the ideal of violent black revolution). In part, perhaps, these bands were simply trading on the increasingly commercial value of shock. But they were also making plain that underneath the veneer of altruism and idealism, the 1960s youth scene was riddled with some considerably darker truths — namely, that drugs had quickly become as much a means to obliterate as to enlighten, and that in a truly free or anarchistic society, bloodshed was as likely to be encountered as lasting peace or equality. It is a testament to the merit of such bands as the Velvets, the Doors and the Stooges that their ability to face and address these realities has helped make their music among the more enduring and oddly affirming legacies of the era.
Increasingly, the best late-1960s music was music about fear, doubt and the possibility of apocalypse, and no band addressed these concerns more forthrightly or valuably than the Rolling Stones, who were quickly establishing themselves as perhaps rock's smartest and greatest band. Throughout their history — from the time they were arrested for pissing in public to the brouhaha over their drug busts — the Stones epitomized rebellion and disrespect to both fans and detractors, and they had long been the band that many parents and authority figures hated the most. Now, like Dylan and the Band, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had started reasserting primal blues and country forms, and they were also asking some of the toughest questions around ("I shouted out who killed the Kennedys?" sang Jagger in "Sympathy for the Devil," and then answered unabashedly, "When after all it was you and me"). But whereas Dylan would, more and more, make music of withdrawal and abdication, the Stones flirted openly with questions about evil and violence that aimed to reveal both themselves and their fans as accomplices in all the modern terror and chaos.
100 Greatest Artists of All Time: the Rolling Stones
By 1968 — a year in which Robert Kennedy was murdered in Los Angeles, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot to death in Memphis, and the broken hopes of millions of people erupted in costly, long-term violence (perhaps most famously at the Chicago Democratic National Convention, at which police brutally bludgeoned American youth) — rock & roll had become a field of hard options and opposing arguments. The Beatles seemed dazed and wearied by their role as youth leaders. On one hand, they had recorded two versions of "Revolution," in which they opted in, and then out, of the notion of violent revolt; then, on the other, they issued "Hey Jude," their greatest anthem of community and forbearance.
The Stones, though, faced the contradictions of their positions more directly. In "Salt of the Earth" (from Beggar's Banquet), Jagger extolled the working-class masses, only to admit his hopeless distance from any real involvement with such people ("When I search a faceless crowd/ A swirling mass of gray and black and white/They don't look real to me/In fact they look so strange"), and in "Street Fighting Man" (banned in several U.S. cities for fear that it might incite more political riots), the Stones admitted to both a desire for violent confrontation and a longing for equivocation ("Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution/But where I live the game to play is compromise solution").
This meant that rock's consensus of joy and opportunity was finished, and its most significant components came apart quickly. The Beatles made more great music, but they shortly disintegrated into a tense, mutually distrusting partnership; in many ways, their deterioration was a metaphor for a larger dissolution: the failed hope for a social community we had longed for but never really achieved. Dylan withdrew for a time into writing domestic bromides, and though he would go on to make some of his most resourceful music in the 1970s (Blood on the Tracks and Desire), he would never again affect rock music and American culture as sweepingly as he had with "Like a Rolling Stone" and John Wesley Harding. Meantime, the Rolling Stones capped their grandest triumph with a tragic debacle. At the end of 1969, following the dismissal and then death of founding member Brian Jones, the Stones recouped with their strongest album, Let It Bleed, and with an American tour that amounted to rock's most successful large-scale concert series to date. But at the end of the tour, eager to deflect charges of greed, the Stones staged a free concert outside San Francisco at Altamont Speedway, and following the example of the Grateful Dead, they hired the Hell's Angels as a security force. It was a day of legendary violence: The Angels pummeled scores of people, usually with little or no provocation, and in the evening, as the Stones performed "Under My Thumb," the bikers beat and stabbed a young black man to death in front of the stage, in full view of the band, the audience members and a camera crew.

It's New Year's Eve, and Patrick has a date with Britt. Sabrina arrives to babysit and daydreams that Patrick kisses her. Emma tells Sabrina she's worried that Britt may be her new mommy. She wishes it were Sabrina. Emma reassures Emma that Robin will always be her mother.
Milo and Spinelli get the hospital roof ready for Spinelli's big New Year's date with Ellie. Milo thinks Spinelli has a great way with women, but Spinelli doesn't. He wants to be seen as an object of sexual desire. In a quid pro quo, Milo shows Spinelli some stripper gyrations. Midnight comes and goes; no Ellie.
At Maxie's place, the phone rings, and it's Lulu. Again. It's getting to be a little much for Maxie. She notices that Ellie has green goo on her face and is reading a magazine. Isn't she going out with Spinelli? No, Ellie says, Spinelli is "on his own tonight and for the rest of his nights."
Maxie realizes that this has to do with her and apologizes for wrecking their Christmas Eve. She finally talks Ellie into getting ready and actually going to meet Spinelli. Maxie then hears a noise at her door. When she opens it, it's that husky puppy! The dog runs into the apartment, but as Maxie chases it, she falls.
Michael brings Starr to GH; she's in a wheelchair. He doesn't want her to be concerned about Johnny. Let the police take over. Michael explains to Britt that Starr was unconscious for a few minutes and, as she is being examined, he phones Dante and tells him about Connie. Britt announces that Starr is okay. As Britt is racing to the elevator, all glamored up, an ex-patient, a child, throws up on the back of her dress.
Todd calls Starr, and Starr says they are leaving the hospital. Maxie is brought in; Britt phones Patrick to say that she has another patient. Maxie is sorry to bother her; however, it turns out that Maxie had a miscarriage.
Things are lively at the Haunted Star, and Olivia is in good spirits until she has another dog vision and becomes terribly upset. Todd and Carly arrive. Todd is rather surprised that Carly would choose to spend New Year's at Johnny's club - could it be he's being used to get back at Johnny? Does she still think of Johnny? Carly admits that she still thinks of him, just like Todd thinks of Blair.
Dante enters the club, and Olivia and Steve inform him that Connie is up to something. Todd and Carly join them; Dante says that Johnny has been kidnapped.
Lulu spots Patrick and gives him the news about Maxie's pregnancy. Dante questions Olivia about her visions but Steve and Lulu start talking interrupt their conversation. Steve and Olivia leave to watch the ball drop. When it's midnight, Todd and Carly welcome 2013 with a kiss, as do Dante and Lulu.
Trey talks with Connie in the parking garage. He informs her that he's going away to get a new start. That's funny, she says, so am I. She goes on to say that she and Johnny are no longer together. Kristina hears banging in the trunk and asks what it is. Connie has an answer: mice. "I don't think mice sound like that," Kristina says.
Tray wants Connie to open the trunk. Connie claims the key doesn't work and enters the car to pop the trunk. Michael and Starr arrive. Connie floors it and takes off. Starr is sure Johnny is in the trunk. They go after Connie.
Patrick returns home to find Sabrina asleep, but she wakes up after he comes in. He invites her to watch the ball drop. At midnight, it looks like they're headed for a kiss.
Speeding along, Connie yells that she's sorry to Johnny because she has to drive so fast. Michael, Trey, Starr, and Kristina are close behind her as Kristina attempts to call PCPD. Ellie is also attempting to get a cell signal to call Spinelli. Her car has broken down. Spinelli phones her while she's walking on the road. As she comes face to face with Connie's headlights, she screams. Connie cries out and hits the brakes. Starr begs Michael to watch out; he hits the brakes as well.

"Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, benevolence, were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" — Marley's ghost in "A Christmas Carol"
Daniel Wise, who is known as "Boonie" to his friends, has always been a kind person, but the owner of a local heating and air conditioning business recently showed an unusual kindness to some of his clients at a time when they could use it most.
Cohutta resident Joe Campbell said his father, Jake Campbell, recently suffered from an illness that took his life earlier this month. Shortly before that happened, as he was bedridden and receiving care, Jake Campbell and his wife began having trouble with their home heating system. The technician who came out to fix the problem discovered there was no freon in the unit, Joe Campbell said, and he said that since there were no leaks in the equipment, it was likely because someone stole the freon.
Joe Campbell, who knew Wise because Campbell had previously coached his daughter in basketball, said he called Wise to discuss the matter further. Wise had been on the phone with the technician as he worked through the problem. He suggested Jake Campbell watch his residence for possible thieves.
"I said, 'Daniel, my dad only has a few days left to live,'" Joe Campbell said.
A few days later, Joe Campbell and Wise happened to see one another at Food Lion. Wise said he didn't know about his father's condition.
"He said, 'Don't worry about that ticket,'" Campbell said. "He said, 'We'll take care of it.'"
The fee was close to $500. Campbell said his stepmother would have paid the bill, but since she is on Social Security, it would have been a big financial hit to her.
"Boonie took care of that ticket," Campbell said. "He wrote it off, $500. ... He's just a great guy."
Campbell said he's used Wise's company, Total Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning, before, and always found him to be very fair.
"That's why we continue to use him," Campbell said, "but that was over and beyond the call of duty."
For his compassion toward a family in time of need, The Daily Citizen names Daniel Wise Citizen of the Week.

Bachelor Party Phoenix
Inject a Dose of Adrenaline Into Your Evening!
We can help you plan the ultimate bachelor party at K1 Speed Phoenix. Our indoor karting facility, within close driving distance of Tempe, Glendale, and Scottsdale, provides high-speed thrills and is the perfect venue for a bachelor party. If you are planning a celebration for a best friend and are looking for a unique, memorable, fun way to kick off the day or evening, you can't go wrong at K1 Speed. Our centers have museum-quality collections of racing memorabilia, from full-scale racecars to signed helmets, suits, and gloves, and our lounges are adorned with plasma screen televisions, black leather couches, and our Pit Café snack bar which is the perfect place to grab a snack or beverage after hitting the track. Planning a bachelor party is a big deal – don't mess it up! Contact K1 Speed Phoenix today to start planning your event!
Indoor Karting – High-speed Thrills
So what makes K1 Speed Phoenix a great place to host a bachelor party? It's quite simple: all-electric indoor karting! Our karting center is unlike any other kart track you've been to. Our kart tracks are professionally designed and indoors, allowing for racing 365 days a year, regardless of weather. The desert sun can be just as bad as a torrential downpour if you're outside all day long. At our indoor karting center, you can race in comfort regardless of the weather. Simply transporting a go-kart track indoors isn't enough, however. To really improve on the experience, you have to address every aspect. After all, placing 20 gas-powered go-karts inside of a building just results in a lot of noise and toxic exhaust fumes, which can make for an even less comfortable experience than if you were outside! At K1 Speed, we have zero-emission, all-electric go-karts that provide superior performance to their gas-powered cousins, with less noise and no fumes. These karts will redefine how you think of a go-kart. We can assure you that you'll never go back to the anemic gas-powered karts again!
If you and your friends want to enjoy the thrills of wheel-to-wheel racing in our high-performance electric go-karts, we offer a wide variety of racing packages as well as Arrive & Drive racing. For parties of 8 or more, we recommend one of our race packages. These are designed to allow groups to race together in a series of heats that lead up to a grid-start, winner-take-all final race. With reserved race times and exclusive use of the track during your heats, these packages offer a lot for individuals planning a bachelor party. After the race is complete, there's even a podium celebration for the winners, complete with trophies, photo taking, and of course bragging rights! If your bachelor party is less structured or you have a smaller party, Arrive & Drive racing at our Phoenix karting center is still a great option. You and your friends can come in anytime and compete without a reservation (though we encourage you to call ahead about possible closures).
Private Rooms, Catering and More – Tailor Your Experience
A bachelor party wouldn't be complete without food! At K1 Speed Phoenix, we offer a variety of catering options from local businesses in Tempe, Glendale, and Scottsdale to meet your needs. Racing our high-performance electric karts can work up an appetite and don't be surprised if you're looking for an energy boost when you come off the track! With catering and our private room rentals, you can replenish, relax, and hang out with friends in private. Whatever your needs, we'd be happy to tailor your bachelor party so that it meets your needs.

Dan Duquette's decision to let Roger Clemens leave the Boston Red Sox after the 1996 season still generates ridicule. The studious general manager inspected Clemens' 40-39 record over four seasons, and concluded the then-34-year-old "Rocket" had only so much life left.
Duquette watched Clemens sign with the Toronto Blue Jays, wishing him well in the "twilight of his career."
Some twilight. Clemens responded with consecutive Cy Young Awards in 1997 and 1998, then helped the rival New York Yankees win the World Series in 1999 and 2000. He won his sixth and seventh Cy Youngs in 2001 (with the Yankees) and in 2004 (with his hometown Houston Astros), and compiled a 162-73 post-Red Sox record that has netted him a reported $128.15 million in salary since leaving Boston.

Now I can call it the studio again.
I have so much to sort out, including unfinished items - who doesn't? And like so many others it is difficult to decide what to do with them. Well, I have found an excellent spur to help me deal with such dilemmas. Mentioned in the current issue of Embroidery is the Unfinishable project. They have been and are still gathering unfinishable items which they will document, and will thence become part of a large textile piece.
I have parcelled up my piece The pose to post to them.
I designed and prepared this in a hurry when my mother went into hospital - so that I would have something small to stitch when with her. I stitched it all, except for the purple: intensive, all over stitching while she was dying. And so I cannot bring myself to finish the piece, nor simply to throw it out.
The Unfinishable project is an ideal solution for me, and has made me feel even more positive about the sort out. A good and interesting start to the year.

I like this piece but understand your wish to not finish it. The Unfinishable project sounds fascinating and I could use something like that to clear away many proofs and pieces I keep hanging on to, thinking I will do something with them. They are taking up much too much of my limited studio space.
- The Idaho Beauty said...
This post has caused me to stop and think. I hold on so tightly, even to things that can bring pain. Your ability to both put so much of yourself into this and then let it go is instructional. I am soothed by the fact it is not just going into the trash or the unknown. It will live on in another form just as your mother does.
- Olga said...
Sheila, yes, it was such a brilliant solution, and popped up just when I needed it.
But as both you and Marja-Leena say, there is so much STUFF that we produce - often after a lot of hard work - that is no good for anything except sighing over each time we think about tidying up.

For Art's Sake Typeface Show, was a curated exhibition by Freedom Art: www.freedomart.net, in Fort Lauderdale & Miami Florida. The show offered a great opportunity to create new typographic & lettering pieces. I selected few songs that I enjoy & interpreted the lyrics visually. My intent was to experiment how visually rendered lyrics can manipulate the way viewers will later perceive & enjoy the same songs.

Corrosion of Conformity are Writing New MaterialPosted in Whathaveyou on January 24th, 2013 by H.P. Taskmaster
…And it seems like it's going to be a permanent situation. No harm there — C.O.C.'s self-titled (review here) was killer and the subsequent Scion A/V EP, Megalodon, scratched a similar itch, so if the North Carolina stalwarts want to kick out another full-length as a trio on the quick, I'm not going to complain. The PR wire sends along word of the new album, recent touring, and an upcoming appearance at Metal Fest in Chile.
Dig it:
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Writing New Material
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY has begun writing material for their next album, the follow-up to the well-received self-titled record released via Candlelight Records late February 2012, the reissue of their Eye For An Eye debut, and recently released Scion A/V EP Megalodon. The album, untitled at this time, will again feature the trio of vocalist/bassist Mike Dean, guitarist Woodroe Weatherman, and drummer Reed Mullin.
Last week the band announced their first live performance for the New Year at the annual Metal Fest Chile on April 13th. It will be the first CORROSION OF CONFORMITY appearance ever in Chile. Mike Dean comments, "We have been talking about going to South American forever and with Chile being a big source of so much of our Facebook traffic, I know it's going to be epic. Another chance for us to do a festival with Down is always a very good thing."
The festival follows the completion of the band's recent US tour that concluded in southern California alongside High On Fire. The trio was also a featured participant on Barge From Hell that left Florida shores on December 7. Dean notes, "The cruise was pretty awesome. We had Rick and Jonathan from Torche masquerading as our crew and watching their antics alone was worth the trip. The seas were calm so there was no hurling over the bow."
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY continues to promote the self-titled album in interviews with media as well spreading word on their recently released Megalodon EP. The EP, sponsored by the amazing folks at Scion A/V, is available for free now via various outlets. Dean says, "The EP was written, recorded, and released in two months time. It really challenged us in a good way. It feels good to get two releases out in one year and I expect that we will continue that level of productivity." Continuing he shares, "The self-titled album is holding up very well for me. There is a wide variety of material there. It's all definitely COC but at the same time everything is really a stretch for us. Within the realm of never being totally satisfied, I am very happy with how it came out."
Formed in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1982, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY quickly transformed heavy music. Politically charged and socially aware, the band has influenced countless others and today remains humble about their accomplishments. With over 1.1 million albums sold in the United States alone, the band continues to find new fans via non-stop touring.

Whether by air or by land, you can't miss noticing Florida's abundance of
water. From the air, the landscape is dotted with specks of blue, while by car,
you most likely won't find too many north-south, east-west roads that extend for
any distance before curving to accommodate a shoreline somewhere.
With over 12,000 miles of streams and rivers, and 3 million acres of freshwater lakes, it's no wonder that fishing has always been a popular outdoor sport in Florida. It's been boasted that there are over 250 different species of freshwater fish in our our Florida waters.
Two of the most notable waterways are the north-flowing St. Johns River carrying an estimated 4 billion gallons into the Atlantic every year, and Lake Apopka which is the second largest lake in Florida.
Before you head out for the day, fishing pole and tackle box in hand,
remember that a Florida fishing license is required. With a major credit card,
the Florida Fish and Conservation Commission will enable you to purchase a
license by:
- Phone 1-888-FISH-FLORIDA (347-4356)
- Order on-line
In either case, you will be issued a temporary license number for immediate use, and your permanent license will be mailed to you within 48 hours. Be sure to check for additional rules and regulations for fishing in Florida at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website.

GUD DAY, the new People's Horse on Twitter, writes his weekly column
8:00am Thursday 8th November 2012 in Sport
AS I mentioned last week, I have been having a bit of a rest from racing but I will be back in another week or two and hope to be returning to the winner's enclosure, where I belong!
An update on some of my stablemates; we've only had a couple of runners since last week at Bangor-on-Dee and neither finished in front, but it's not always about winning – sometimes it's about taking part and the boss expects them both to come on for the run! We have a few out this week including at Towcester today – Queen Of Mantua and Thunder Sheik.
Soon Cheltenham will be upon us again for the big Open Meeting on November 16-18, with all the big guns out in force from Paul Nicholls, Nicky Henderson and Jonjo O'Neill. I am glad I am not going up against them!
Crowning Champions.
THIS weekend at Doncaster, Richard Hughes will be crowned Champion Flat Jockey for the first time, so congratulations to Hughesy who is known for his love of jump racing. Having pulled more than 40 wins clear of his nearest rival Silvestre De Sousa – including riding seven winners in one afternoon at Windsor – it really has been his season.
King Kauto.
KAUTO STAR, the best steeplechaser of our lifetime, has retired. I would like to wish him all the best in his new life which, for the time being, is going to still be leading the horses on the gallops and educating the youngsters to be as good as him.
I wonder if he can come and gallop with me for a day or two I am sure I would learn quickly! You will also be able to see him at a number of racedays this season including the Betfair Chase at Haydock and on Boxing Day at Kempton Park during the William Hill Winter Festival.
Ten to Follow Team.
Hunt Ball is being lined up for the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on November 17 when he may take on another from our list, For Non Stop, who won impressively at Aintree. Big Buck's is almost certain to go to Newbury on December 1. On the same day, Bobs Worth could run in the Hennessy Gold Cup. Mr Mole, who ran well to win a novice hurdle at Exeter in October, is entered at Wincanton this Saturday (November 10), so tune into Channel 4 Racing from 1.55pm.

Now if you say that buildsubdir definition isn't available when you are setting __debug_install_post, it means you need to use lazy expansion. This is probably the reason why %define works for you but %global doesn't: %global is expanded at definition time. If you really want to use %global instead of %define, you could try forcing lazy expansion by escaping %: %global __debug_install_post %%{mingw_debug_install_post} ^^ force lazy expansion Hope this helps, Kalev -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging

text: Most analyses of welfare reform fall into two camps. The dominant one stresses the huge drop in the number of families on welfare -- from 5 million to 2 million since 1996 -- and proclaims the changes enacted by Congress that year a triumph. The counter-view is that the declining rolls mask suffering that can be measured by the small uptick in families living below the poverty line in the latest census (after a period of great decline in the late '90s) and increased reliance on food banks and homeless shelters. The pro-reform camp points to the large number of former recipients who found jobs; the second notes that they're still poor and have lost their safety net.

Tacos Al Vapor
Those of you who know what I'm talking about, and have had them, good tacos de cabeza, (beef head or tender goat head traditionally) or any other meat al vapor (steamed)pressure cooked. Any suggestions? Familiar with the tacohunt blog and others but no mention of tacos al vapor. With the vastness of taco truck heaven in L.A. there's gotta be some vendor who know's what they're doing, or are they just not around in L.A.? All help/suggestions appreciated.
You really need to troll Victory Boulevard from Vineland to Van Nuys, up Van Nuys to Vanowen, and back east to Vineland.
One of the better ones is at Fulton and Vanowen well after dark; another one parks around 5 PM in front of the Target on Victory and Vineland; there's one at Fulton and Victory a little later.
All do tacos al vapor.
re: Das Ubergeek
re: Das Ubergeek
re: Das Ubergeek
re: Ollie
A few weeks ago. I've been working split shifts lately (don't ask, it's a REAL pain) and so I haven't been on Victory at the right time. It's on Victory, though, about 100 feet west of Vineland.
Within the last week, though, the city has put up "anti-gridlock zone" signs on Victory from the Burbank border to Laurel Canyon, so I'm wondering if they weren't hounded from their location by Parking Enforcement.
Sorry you wasted your time... I'm not happy either, because it was totally reliable, unlike some taco trucks.
re: Das Ubergeek
re: Das Ubergeek
Hey Uber, Went to the Vic/Vine taco truck 2 days ago. If it's the same one it's called "Tacozone". Anyway had 2 asada, one suadero, and one cabeza. For the most part, I respect your opinion, but these tacos were "just eh". If it's the same truck you were refering me to, was not at all impressed. I've definately had better.
re: Ollie
re: Das Ubergeek
There now seems to be two taco trucks at the Target at Victory and Vineland, one on victory and one on vineland. I believe the "eh" tacos refer to the one on victory. However, the truck on Vineland, called Tacos el Navegante, are AMAZING. hands down, best carne asada i've had! and the pastor's good too. AND they're open late. they're my new heaven.
I like to try taco trucks; how does one know they would be 'al vapor'? Ask? or is there signage or some sign?
If you're looking for great cabeza tacos, check out the taco truck that parks in the Nishikawa Auto Repair Shop lot on Fair Oaks Blvd. in Pasadena, just north of California, on the east side of the street. Awesome tender cabeza, great lengua too if you're into offal.
re: Hailyn
The name of the truck, btw, is El Taquito Mexicano #2 (the #2 refers to the name of the restaurant from which this truck originates and not the truck itself).
Read more here: http://oishiieats.blogspot.com/2006/0...
I'm not sure if they make their tacos al vapor or not, but they're the best tacos in town on most nights (and when they're not, Los Tacos across the street is ready to fill the gap).
re: Hailyn
The best cabeza for me is the thick chunky meaty kind. The best I've been served in L.A. is at Taqueria Estilo Mexico at the edge of Culver City, Washington and Centinella...
As for Lengua, for me that is a meat which must be braised. And is best under one of those hubcap 'grills' that can be found at Taco Tables such as the one on Venice and Vermont...
Hey Ubergeek, I tried your recommendation for T.A.V. @ the Vanowen & Fulton spot. It was ok, not what I expected, but not bad for $1 a piece. Wish the Victory & Vineland truck was still available. Keep me posted.
About a year ago, I knew of this truck @ Van Nuys & Laurel Cyn. in the run down strip mall on the NW corner who only sold Tacos de Cabeza, al vapor, really good. Don't know if he's still selling. If he's still there, someone please reply, before I make a "wild goose chase".
I visited this great taco table last night which does a great al vapor... It's on Boyle and 4th right by a 76 station (Don't park in the station however). Here's my post with some pictures!

RALEIGH — Wake schools Superintendent Tony Tata urged critics Thursday to give him a chance as he tries to develop a new student assignment plan that he hopes will avoid creating high concentrations of low-performing students.
Tata, who was hired by the Republican school board majority in December, has encountered skepticism from some in the community over his time as a political pundit. Parents are watching to see how he'll implement a new assignment plan now that the school board has eliminated socioeconomic diversity as an underlying goal.
"I am the representative of all children," Tata told more than 125 people at Martin Street Baptist Church. "You should judge me based on my actions here and not anything before that, other than the fact that I was in the U.S. Army for 28 years."
Tata was invited to speak by NC HEAT, a youth group that supports the old diversity policy.
Tata said a task force of school administrators will meet today to begin work on a long-term assignment plan. He said he hopes to have something for the public to view within six weeks.
The task force will look at a proposal from business leaders to use student achievement in an assignment plan that would let families choose from a list of schools. The goal is to avoid creating schools with too many academically struggling students.
"It's clear that for me the student assignment plan really has to address avoiding high concentrations of low-performing students," Tata said.
Tata got respect for taking questions. "I'm going to give you a chance, because we all should," Superior Court Judge Abe Jones said.

moreNew York Times Bestseller! The momentous third and final volume in the Pope's international bestselling Jesus of Nazareth series, detailing how the stories of Jesus' infancy and childhood are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago.
In 2007, Joseph Ratzinger published his first book as Pope Benedict XVI in order "to make known the figure and message of Jesus." Now, the Pope focuses exclusively on the Gospel accounts of Jesus' life as a child. The root of these stories is the experience of hope found in the birth of Jesus and the affirmations of surrender and service embodied in his parents, Joseph and Mary. This is a story of longing and seeking, as demonstrated by the Magi searching for the redemption offered by the birth of a new king. It is a story of sacrifice and trusting completely in the wisdom of God as seen in the faith of Simeon, the just and devout man of Jerusalem, when he is in the presence of the Christ child. Ultimately, Jesus' life and message is a story for today, one that speaks to the restlessness of the human heart searching for the sole truth which alone leads to profound joy.

Oil Spill Undermines Obama's Risky Offshore Drilling Policy
The BP spill has already made a dent in the process of approving future offshore drilling for oil.
By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
A couple of weeks ago I posted here that the Vatican's most vocal enemy could not possibly have done a better job of discrediting the Catholic Church than the Pope himself, who is acting as if it's still the Middle Ages and there is no such thing as the priest pedophilia scandal.
Well now the same can be said of BP and offshore oil rigs. The timing of BP's environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig couldn't be better to bolster the validity of claims by environmentalists that offshore drilling is a calamity waiting to happen. Is this example worth the environmental damage is it doing and will continue to do for some time? Of course not! But it already has made a dent in the process of approving future offshore drilling for oil. According to the Washington Post:
Obama's announcement last month (now put on hold) that he planned to allow oil exploration and drilling along vast new offshore areas began a long process that requires public input, permitting and other steps.
But the huge plume of oil floating toward the shoreline--and the prospect of images of wildlife covered with crude--have made it crucial for the White House to show it is not rushing forward. The spill started washing ashore in Louisiana late Thursday, and is threatening the environmentally sensitive coastlines of five different states.

Commentary: Skyfall (with Faldor)
Bond is back again already in his final turn for a while, with Daniel Craig renewing his contract (perhaps somewhat reluctantly) and seeming a bit weather-beaten. Faldor joins me again and we watch with enthusiasm as many of the tropes are trodden even while the series makes a careful return to form.
We delight in the reversals (Bond blows up his OWN LAIR this time! M is a Bond girl! [actually, that's kind of happened before]) and point out the soft spots (Silva is YET ANOTHER insider coming back to haunt M? Severine carries a gun and has bodyguards but they mainly just keep her from running away?).

We do not know what, if anything would be announced. Canon keeps this information very quiet, so its just rumors, some may be true, but many do not pan out. Just read them and have fun, but don't make buying decisions based on rumors.
know what u mean, just dun want to end up buying the lens and have the new one announced in mar/apr
if you can afford to wait, then just wait. clearly the lens is not that critical for what you are doing. if you really, absolutely needed this lens, you would know it, and it'd be in your shopping cart already. to me, that's always the test of how much you need a lens.

Financial Integrity and Effectiveness
Governance and Oversight
the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids adheres to charity management and fundraising standards issued by the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance. Our volunteer board of directors is active and independent, and provides oversight over operations and staff.
Measuring Effectiveness
the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids has developed a long-established record of effectiveness. Since launching the largest public education campaign in our nation's history, the use of illicit drugs has fallen by more than 32%, equaling 7.4 million fewer drug users.
Specifically, the organization's anti-Ecstasy campaign launched in 2002. By 2004, the Partnership Attitude Tracking Study had confirmed across-the-board reductions in overall teen drug use with a remarkable turnaround in Ecstasy use among teens — a significant 25 percent decline which meant 770,000 fewer kids using Ecstasy to get high.
In addition, our anti-inhalants education campaign, introduced in 1995, helped reverse a 20-year increase in inhalant use among kids and teens and led to consistent year-to-year reductions in use between 1995 and 2001. At the time, ours were the only anti-inhalant messages on air.
The organization's research is leading a groundbreaking effort that continues to bring national attention to the intentional abuse of prescription and over-the-counter medicines by teens.
Our community education team has trained more than 1,500 presenters in every state to deliver turn-key and customizable programs that address issues ranging from methamphetamine to alcohol. It offers a parent "101" on the drug and alcohol landscape, all vetted by the nation's leading experts in substance abuse.
With the addition of a teen-oriented substance abuse prevention program and a number of Spanish-language resources and tools, the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids has directly reached nearly 30,000 concerned parents, family members, caregivers and community leaders at the grassroots level across the country.
And, with the introduction of our comprehensive array of online resources at drugfree.org, we have reached nearly seven million online visitors and parents, providing access to tools, guides and e-books.
the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids is one of only 13 organizations worldwide to receive the prestigious Discovery Health Medical Honors award for extraordinary contributions to world health. The Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance Charity Seal Program officially certified the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids for complying with their 20 rigorous charity standards. The New York Times says the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids is, "one of the most effective drug-prevention organizations in the U.S."
Donor Funds
the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids spends donor funds honestly, prudently and in accordance with statements made in donor fundraising appeals. The majority of our funds (80%) are used in the development and implementation of prevention, intervention and treatment initiatives. The balance (20%) is utilized for fundraising, management, research and general and administrative services.
Financial Information
Audited financial statements and our annual 990 tax return are available for review below. These statements provide the most meaningful financial information on the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.

See a video of Jonathan Jones' solo.
The Meadows Wind Ensemble, conducted by Jack Delaney, Algur H. Meadows Distinguished Teaching Professor, received a standing ovation after its performance of Blue Shades during SMUs Commencement ceremony on May 19, 2007.
The captivating clarinet solo that helped bring the crowd to its feet was performed by Jonathan Jones, a third-year student pursuing degrees in music education and performance at SMU. Jones serves as principal clarinet in the Living Opera and the Las Colinas, Garland and Arlington Symphony Orchestras, and performs in the East Texas Symphony Orchestra. His recent honors include first place in the 2007 SMU General Concerto Competition, and he is preparing for a debut recital in Italy this summer.
Blue Shades was composed by SMU alum Frank Ticheli, who earned a degree in composition in 1980. A nationally recognized symphonic composer, Ticheli is professor of composition at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music.
The Meadows Wind Ensemble has performed throughout the United States and Europe, and its performances have been broadcast by numerous national radio networks around the world, including the BBC in London. The Ensemble has recorded four CDs on the Gasparo label, including The Drums of Summer, which won First Prize in an international recording competition in Austria.

But the truth is, pets aren't immune to the downsides of plumpness. Just as the average American has grown wider over the
years, so have our animal companions. And, just like people, pets reap the rewards of an ever growing backside—arthritis,
fatty liver disease, and diabetes, just to name a few. As pets' waistlines—and their risks—continue to expand, you'll be spending
more time discussing nutrition and exercise with clients and developing strategies to help portly pets slim down.
What works?
"The first thing we do when pets visit is weigh them and tell the owner how they're doing," says Gina Toman, a Firstline Editorial Advisory Board member and a veterinary assistant at Seaside Animal Care in Calabash, N.C. Using their practice management
software, Toman says they can create graphs to track the pet's weight loss or gain. "Then we'll do a body scoring evaluation.
We include owners by showing them what we're looking for, explaining how their pets are doing in comparison to their last
weight check, and even taking their hands and showing them where they should be able to feel the pet's ribs."
If the pet is overweight, Toman will ask detailed questions about what the pet's eating and exactly how much. How many meals
do they eat a day, and how many snacks do they get, including people food? Based on their answers, she helps clients build
a plan to take the weight off. The first step: talking to the veterinarian about an appropriate diet. She also often recommends
structured mealtimes and exercise, which may include specific instructions—two 30-minute brisk walks a day, for example.
Six fat busters
1. Make treat comparisons owners can understand. For example, Toman says you might explain that each dog biscuit Fido eats is the equivalent of person eating a Snickers bar.
Also remind clients that they can break up treats into smaller portions, says Nancy Allen, a Firstline board member and practice manager at Olathe Animal Hospital in Olathe, Kan.
2. Suggest low-calorie alternatives. Depending on the animal and its nutritional requirements, help owners find lower calorie alternatives, such as carrots or

Reid's rules: A Senate run by fiat
One concession Republicans got in this deal was the withdrawal of two Obama nominees for the National Labor Relations Board — Sharon Block and Richard Griffin — who were appointed to the board unconstitutionally. (The President renominated them after a federal court struck down his appointment of them.) The other is Harry Reid's word that he won't violate Senate rules on future nominations. It's clear what that is worth. The ruling party's rule-breaking and lawbreaking continues to be rewarded.

The Winter Festival of Lights marks the official start to the holiday season in the Ohio Valley Thursday night.
The switch will be thrown at 6:15 p.m. Thursday kicking off the winter-time tradition in Wheeling.
During the holiday season, the event draws over 500,000 people from all over the country, boosting our local economy.
The Winter Festival of Lights started in 1985. The holiday light show is one of the nation's largest, covering more than 300 acres over a six-mile drive throughout the resort.
Organizers said four years ago, the Winter Festival of Lights entered a new "green" era using energy-efficient LED lights in all new displays and to begin converting all existing displays to LED.
"We are proud to announce that all the displays at the Festival of Lights are now LED!" said Caren Knoyer, Marketing Director for Oglebay.
Knoyer said that LED lights use 85 percent less energy than traditional bulbs and last five times longer.
