Breakin' The Law: Elev8tion Footage Part 1
Friday. April 22nd. Breakin' The Law Elev8tion. The first of two days of the biggest breakin' competition in the midwest. I just happened to be there with my camera and took some footage. I will release more footage throughout the week. But this is the first clip I put together showing different battles and some warm up footage. Stay tuned for clips from Milwaukee native groups Gravity Benders and Motion Disorderz!!!
DMC Championship 2011: It's Battle Season
So, last week I did a post about a new type of DJ battle series called Thre3style. And shoutout to Big Once for winning the Chicago round! Off to Vegas for the US Finals.
But in terms of DJ battles, most of my DJ and turntablism fans are more familiar with the DMC's. The DMC Champion is a heavily technical and skill based DJ battle series. It involved skills such as mixing, scratching, beat juggling, body tricks, programming and mainly, destroying the competition.
Milwaukee's own John Swan aka DJ Swan was and still is a DMC battler himself. Check out these videos of him in DMC battles from 2009 and 2011.
DJs will use vocal samples to diss their competitor, juggle two seperate beats at once to recreate a new sound live and scratch at blazing speeds turning the turntable into more than just a music player, but a true musical instrument.
After suffering a lull in interest around 2005, the DMCs have been gaining popularity once again through the allowing of digital DJ software to be used. It's actually sponsored by the one of the largest digital DJ software companies out, Serato.
Even though vinyl has seen a resurgence, most new music rarely comes out on wax so in order for the competition to stay relevant and creative, this was an obvious move.
My favorite DMC Champion/Turntablist/Battle DJ has to be the late Roc Raida. As a member of the DJ group, The X-Ecutioners, and Busta Rhymes show DJ, he was the master at body tricks. No one, in my humble opinion, has been able to do what he did to recreate the excitement and fun during a battle.
Check out some DMC videos on youtube to get a taste of what these battles are like. But PLEASE check out this tribute vid to Roc Raida. You get a taste of what the battles are like, a piece of one of the masters and THE GREATEST tribute to him at the 3:30 mark... ::tears:: literally
Anybody have any favorite DJs/Turntablists? Local/National? Someone who just plays some good tracks?
Breakin' The Law: Elev8tion Footage Part 2
Friday. April 22nd. Breakin' The Law Elev8tion. The first of two days of the biggest breakin' competition in the midwest...
Alright, so in Part 1 I gave you some general footage of Breakin' The Law. This time, I got footage of the Poppin contest. You thought it was all handstands and backflips. Nope. There were multiple styles of dance and this is one of them. Very talented individuals bringing so many various skills to the floor so check it out.
Stay tuned for part 3 where I give you the Milwaukee connection showcasing two local crews...
The Weekend Playlist: Dana, Reason, Toki, A-Trak and Kid Sister
Alright, I know I'm a little late this week, but luckily nothing too crazy is happening tonight so you aren't missing anything. Again, no excuses about not having anywhere to go or that the clubs are boring and sweaty. Quality hip hop evenings are happening all the time. So, the weekend begins..... Now.
Dana Coppafeel & Reason 'Know Flight Zone' Album Release Party
The homie Dana Coppa, from King Hell Bastard has been working with seasoned producer Reason on a new album called Know Flight Zone. Check out a dope write up about the album and event here and also a promo vid they have running on youtube. The flyer below has all the details so obviously it's gonna be the show to be at.
A-Trak "Magic 8 Ball" Tour With Kid Sister & The Gaslamp Killer
For all my Madison peoples, you guys get a treat as well. A-Trak has been on tour since March 2nd and he comes to your town tomorrow night with Kid Sister and The Gaslamp Killer. A-Trak has been all things hip hop for so long so you gotta love him. Kid Sister busted onto the scene a few years back with the joint "Pro Nails" and her energy is always top notch. Adding to the energy and even more super heavy bass is The Gaslamp Killer with his crazy DJ sets.
91.7 WMSE Hot*Pop Hip Hop Series Presents Toki Wright
Performing tracks from his debut album "A Different Mirror" and the recently released online EP "BlackMale", Toki brings a flavor you really have to just witness to understand.

New JC Poppe Video: Audio
The non half stepper and full grown beard, JC Poppe released two albums earlier this year, Shadowlands and Tea Party. On Tea Party he had the jam "Audio" and recently released a video for it. Yall just need to check it out. Love the energy on the beat, rhymes solid as usual, directed by Ku-Mays so it's interesting to the eyes. I'll let the music speak...
What do you guys think?
Breakin' The Law: Elev8tion Footage Part 3
Friday. April 22nd. Breakin' The Law Elev8tion. The first of two days of the biggest breakin' competition in the midwest....
Alright, you guys know the deal. All week I've posted footage from Breakin' The Law 2011 and here is the final clip. I wanted to give some shine to two local crews, Gravity Benders and Motion Disorderz. Both crews have been doing their thing for a long time. Also, you might of seen a couple of the Motion Disorderz members performing at Bucks games and other events around the city.
They both put on a great show of skill, creativity and excitement. The element of breakin/break dancing, when done right (as it was at Breakin The Law) really shows the true essence of hip hop. From the energy, the vibe and love of the skill, everything makes you feel involved and you just want more.
Congrats to Motion Disorderz for winning the crew battle! Crews come from all over the world, literally the world (Japan, Korea, etc) to battle in this and Milwaukee went home with the title.
If you have a chance to go to Breakin The Law 2012 please do or if you hear of any other breakin' battles, check them out. We all have a little b-boy/b-girl in us when we see clips like these so DONT DENY YOURSELF!
Soundset: The hip-hop festival you need to be at
In the hip-hop community, most people are well aware of Rock The Bells. This is probably the most well-known annual hip-hop festival. Last year, some of the line up was A Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang, Lauryn Hill, Snoop, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick, Rakim. Yes, this was all in one day and I was there for the L.A. show. Amazing.
But DJ Bizzon, I can't go all the way out to L.A. or N.Y. for this crazy show. What can I do since I live here in Milwaukee and nothing that big comes here???
(Click that flyer now!)
If you didn't click the link, this festival is in Canterbury Park, Minn., on May 29, the day before Memorial Day. So you have that Monday off. Yeah, I know it's around a five- or six-hour drive, but this is THE best festival of hip-hop that will come to the Midwest. If Rock the Bells is No. 1, this has got to be No.1a. We all love Summerfest, but they don't have a hip-hop lineup like this, ever. (Even though I am excited for Kanye West this year.)
Big Boi, De La Soul, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Slaughterhouse, Blueprint, DJ Abilities, Doomtree ALL IN ONE DAY! Oh yeah, and the homie Kid Cut Up DJ's the B-Boy tent every year so we got the Milwaukee connection.
Any excuses left not to go? Feel free to post any and I will prove them wrong. lol.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when I sit down with Kid Cut Up as he explains his experiences at Soundset and gives you even more reasons to go.
New ¡Oye! Video: Misfits
So the homie ¡Oye! has been doing some solid work in the hip hop scene. So solid, he went to London to shoot this video Misfits. Gotta love the sound and the flow. Just a good combination, which in turns makes for a good song. Can't tell me Milwaukee people aren't doing some cool stuff in the hip hop scene.
As always, I want the video to speak for itself so check it out. If you are feelin' it, hit the hyperlink for his bandcamp page to learn more about him and what he is up to. Or watch more videos of him on youtube. Either way, edutain yourself.

Soundset and Kid Cut Up: One More Reason To Go
So yesterday I let you know about Soundset and pretty much crushed any excuse for you not to go. "But DJ Bizzon, I love Milwaukee and I wish they had somebody local that I'm familiar with involved. I mean you are blogging about Milwaukee hip-hop, aren't you?" (Man, you all are tough)
Ok, fine. As I showed you last week (Parts 1, 2, 3), Breakin' is one of the four elements of hip-hop. It truly shows the essence of what hip-hop is all about. So, of course Soundset has to have a b-boy/b-girl stage. And guess who is DJing that? Milwaukee's very own and fellow Mad Kids Radio Show host, Kid Cut Up. Yesterday I hit him up about Soundset and what were his experiences like. Let him tell you why you need to be there.
who are you and what is soundset?
im your neighborhood friendly DJ... Soundset is the largest hip-hop festival in the Midwest. It is loosely based on the Rhymesayers record label out of Minneapolis and features many of their artists. It also is a great festival to check out the upcoming hip-hop acts as well as a few classic old school acts. With the inclusion of the b-boy tent, graffiti wall, lowrider show and many other outlets of hip-hop culture, it really is the best showcase of hip hop every summer.
when did you first start djing at soundset?
I was the very first DJ at the very first Soundset back in 2008. Totally weird how it happened that way, but its humbling and an honor to get invited back to play every year since. I DJ during and between the b-boy battles that happen throughout the day. DJing b-boy battles is always a rush because of the energy involved in the dance and the level of competition. People are really going for it and trying to make it happen!
who are you looking forward to seeing at soundset?
This year, with such a great lineup, its hard to pick who I'm most excited to see. But I always look forward to the great people I'll play alongside at the B Boy tent. Seeing DJs in a performance situation as opposed to a dance club is always of interest to me as it highlights what DJs bring to the tables creatively. On the main stage, I'm looking forward to seeing De La Soul, Big Boi, and I'm curious about up and coming MC Mac Miller. Of course I always like to check out favorites like Brother Ali and Edan. Ending the day with Atmosphere is always cool as well.
why is a hip hop fan should I go? why should someone who isn't into hip-hop should go?
As a fan, Soundset is the most legit hip-hop festival of the summer. It represents hip-hop in its past, present, and future and in a multi-faceted way. It really is a celebration of hip-hop. For someone who is new to hip-hop, it is a great way to experience it for the first time and really find out what it's is all about. Certainly better than experiencing it second hand through any of the major media outlets!
I also think its awesome to see artists like Atmosphere play in front of 15,000+ people. These are guys who used to play in Milwaukee for 75-100 people. They used to crash at peoples houses and hustle cds to get gas money to drive back home. They made it happen. And for every major media outlet that still won't support them because they aren't "commercial" enough, I feel like Soundset proves how big the independent rap movement really is. Along with how a lot of the majors got it wrong. They then use that huge platform to showcase people like myself and other new artists. It's a great festival for everyone involved, on either side of the stage.
But don't take my word for it, get your tickets today!! Be a part of it all!
Thanks homie. Follow up the week after Soundset as I bring back some footage from this massive all day concert and a video diary of Kid Cut Up's experience and super happy fun time. You won't wanna miss it.
So, Sunday, May 29th is the date. You have Monday off. If you are reading this, you have an interest in music and hip-hop. Biggest hip-hop concert of the year anywhere close to Milwaukee. Got the local flavor with Kid Cut Up. Tickets are only $35! Buses are cheap too if you don't have a car. It's enough time to walk, Forrest Gump style. If you still don't wanna go after all of this, I can't help you lol.
Hope to see you there!!
New Beastie Boys Mix by Z-Trip
As a fan of hip-hop music, especially golden era hip-hop, I love the Beastie Boys. As a fan of djing and turntablism, DJ Z-Trip is the man. And with their powers combined... Ok, Sorry.
Z-Trip put out a new mix entitled, "Z-Trip Presents: All-Access A Beastie Boys Megamix". It's the mix for the true Beastie Boys fan. It has personal touch from Z-Trip as he uses clips from the radio show where he first heard the Beastie Boys and got hooked himself.
Like always when I post music, I don't want to say too much about it. You decide if you are feeling it or not. Take the 23 minutes while you are working on a project or just relaxing at home. You won't be mad, trust me. Check it out.

The Miltown Beatdown: Milwaukee's Premier Producer Showcase
Alright, who's ready to battle? I know I am. STARTING TOMORROW
What is this?
DJ Madhatter brings the Miltown Beatdown back for it's 6th installment. Oh, have you not heard? This is the place to be for all the hip-hop fans and just music fans. The best producers come out and put their skills on the line to see who is the best producer in the city. Also, rockin the tunes before, during and after is the homie DJ Kid Cut Up.
But how about I let DJ Madhatter tell you himself in this interview he did with Kid Cut Up and I on the Mad Kids Radio Show last night. I mean, he is the Mad in the Mad Kids. He talks about his experiences running it and why you need to come.
How does it work?
32 producers go head to head in a playoff style format, 1-on-1 and drop their beats to see who's the best. Prodcuers get 3 beats per round to play for 1 minute each and whoever has the best tracks all together wins and moves on.
Why is this important?
Past winners have gone on to be featured in national competitions. Bridges have been built to connect artists and producers who would never have met any other way to collaborate on new projects. Milwaukee shows it's true diversity (no matter what people or statistics may say) because the winners, not just the competitors, come from all different parts of the city and have totally different sounds. This is truly an event that shows how exciting and raw hip-hop is.
Who is in it?
Check out the line up here. With producers Reason, 40 Mil, Champ, Bubba and last year's champ Lex Luthor, the list includes a wide variety of sounds that you will love. All that local hip-hop music you been feeling has probably been produced by one of these producers. And when you add the fact that it's a battle, you know the beats will rock that much harder.
What else do I need to know about this?
Past guests judges and performers have been Vitamin D, Jank One, Maceo from De La Soul and Masta Ace! So you know this year Madhatter has some surprises up his sleeve on who he is bringing out. This is an official, legit event so you know I'll be in the house and you should too.
When is it?
The preliminary rounds start this Thursday, May 12th and continue each subsequent Thursday until June 2nd at the Jackalope Lounj, 343 North Broadway, 21+, No Cover. Doors @ 9pm, Battles @ 10pm. The finale is at Turner Hall on Friday, June 10th at 8pm, $15 in advance, $20 at the door, but no age restrictions.
Umm yeah, so you need to be at all 5 nights, the 4 preliminary rounds and the final. It will cost you $15 total to experience this dope event spread throughout a month. I'm sure I'll be the tallest person there so say what's up!
The Beard and Afro Show Review
So, I can't go to every single event since I DJ and sometimes there are multiple events in one night. That is why I have the homie DJ Jank as my right hand man helping out.
I mentioned in the Weekend Playlist a couple Thursday's back about a hip hop show called "The Afro and The Beard" happening at the Highbury Pub. I had to DJ somewhere else that night, but luckily Jank was DJing that event along side DJ Venus. He took photos and did a cool write-up about it. You should already be familiar with him because all of the black and white photos you see on the blog are taken by him.
Check out what he had to say and some of the photos he took:
"DJ Venus and I had the great pleasure of DJing Ecko and DNA's collaborative birthday party last weekend, The Afro and The Beard. The party also featured performances by Malicious, Chico Sinista Diaz and Coolzey along with DNA and Ecko performing rare solo sets.
(click the photos for the full set of pictures)
Everybody came with their "A" game but the solo performances were especially fresh. Ecko (formerly of House of M) dropped some brand new uptempo tracks that were surprisingly good… no offense.
DNA, a member of King Hell Bastard, had the whole crowd jumping with his usual heavy beats and philosophical lyrics. I don't know what he's talking about half the time but i know its dope. If you've ever heard him rockin' a KHB track, then you know what I'm saying and what you missed.
(click the photos for the full set of pictures)
The crowd stayed thick throughout the night making for an even better experience for all. Well, maybe not for all. I heard a few people had one too many Zima's."
Thanks Jank. Stayed tuned for more from him as he helps me out more checking out these events. And don't worry, we both know Ecko and DNA personally so we were just joking, it's all love. We gotta mess with them sometimes. Great Show!

The Weekend Playlist: Beat Battlin'
Usually this is the post where I tell you all the fun stuff happening each day of the weekend for hip-hop in Milwaukee and we all go crazy... Yeah this weekend not so much. Now, there is still something to do. Although, this is one of those weekends where you might have to invite friends over for some Taboo instead of forcing yourself to go out. But I digress...
Miltown Beatdown Preliminary Round #1
Yesterday, I convinced you to go the the Miltown Beatdown which starts tonight over at the Jackalope Lounj. Doors @ 9pm, Battles @ 10pm, 21+, No Cover. This is the place to be for all the fans hip-hop in it's true form. Be there because that's about it for stuff going on this weekend.
Where I'll Be
Since the battles wrap up around midnight, I'll finish the night up over at BYO Studio Lounge tonight with the homie DJ DMT for Taste Thursdays. Sick Saturdays goes down every Saturday at Moct where I bring the hip-hop phreshness to the club. FInally, I'll be over at Sound Travels at the Nomad on Sunday night with Marcus Doucette, DJ Avets and special guest Kid Cut Up.
Follow Up on Sexual Assult Case
A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post asking for assistance in a police case involving a sexual abuser on the north side of Milwaukee. I wrote about it because I am apart of a hip-hop organization, True Skool, that was assisting in helping the community stop these assults. Hip-hop, as most of us know, is rooted in the community and helping others when they need it.
Well, good news is to be reported. They found the guy doing these horrible acts and he has been arrested. You can check out the news stories with video here and here.
Thanks to whoever was involved in finding him, whether you are part of the hip-hop community or not. This is good news and I hope this person will get the justice he deserves. We all can sleep better tonight.

Cali Swag District Loses Member to Gun Violence
Rapper Mante "M-Bone" Talbert from the rap group Cali Swag District was killed last night in a shooting incident. Cali Swag District gained popularity last year with the hit "Teach Me How To Dougie".
The group's publicist said of Mante, "He was a hardworking, passionate artist and dancer that will be deeply missed."
Mante was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when another vehicle pulled up alongside and unloaded "at least two rounds" into the car, according to Lt. Michael Marshall.
He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. He was just 22.
More details here.

Miltown Beatdown preliminary battle #1 recap
The homie Jank and I made our way down to the Miltown Beatdown last Thursday at the Jackalope Lounj. He took some dope photos and wrote up how it went down, so without further delay, check out what he had to say:
"For those that are unaware of what the Miltown Beatdown is, allow me to explain. It is a weekly, month long contest between local producers (beat makers) created by DJ Madhatter. Each producer plays a beat and is judged by the crowd and celebrity (not really) judges. Got it? If not, go here and read up.
The Beatdown is probably one of the most anticipated events of the year to many involved in Milwaukee's music/hip-hop scene and this year its back at the Jackalope. When I arrived at the first battle last Thursday night there were about 50 people waiting in line to get in.
(Click the photo for more pictures)
It was completely filled to capacity at 10:30! I had to use my *rock star status* just to get in. I felt bad for the people I had to walk past to get in, kind of. Anyways, It was packed with just enough wiggle room to get around.
The battle featured:
TRE COLD vs. BUBBA
OVA vs. WHITE RUSSIAN
JUNGLE BOY vs. AUDIO PILOT
CASH BEATZ vs. DJ HEAVYWEIGHT
Those winners then faced off in the finals for the evening:
BUBBA vs. WHITE RUSSIAN
DJ HEAVYWEIGHT vs. AUDIO PILOT
*winners in bold
It was a pretty dope and close set of battles. White Russian and Audio Pilot only won by a few points each so the level of competition was pretty equal. Now them, along with the winners of the next three preliminary battles, will face off in the championship June 10th at Turner Hall.
Each producer had their own particular style and sound from hardcore east coast, to dirty south, to synth reminiscent of CSI background music. Bubba even pulled out his midi controller to play his beats live while others went off of a laptop or CD. This was similar to last year's battle where one producer actually DJ'ed and juggled his beats together for added style.
(Click the photo for more pictures)
Anyways, the night ended with the majestic sounds of Kid Cut Up on the turntables. I then joined Haz Solo outside to make fun of everyone who stepped out of the door, especially DJ Bizzon who was wearing an unprecedented collared shirt.
Oh yeah… Don't make your whole crew wear a t-shirt with your name on it unless you are absolutely
sure you're going to win. Just sayin…
Congrats to the White Russian and Audio Pilot.
Jank is out."
Thanks Jank for the write up. Soon the homie will be official so I won't have to phone in his words. The next battle is this Thursday at the Jackalope Lounj. Doors open at 9 p.m. and battles start at 10 p.m. Be there by 9 p.m. if you want to get in.
New Adebisi Video: Rhythmatic
So much Milwaukee music coming out right now. Doesn't stop even when people don't live in Milwaukee anymore. Adebisi, lead rapper for Fresh Cut Collective, has been working out in NY for the last year. Recently, Jank went there for a vacation and to do some interviews which you will see soon.
So, he met up with Adebisi and they shot an impromtu video in Union Square. Creativity can happen anywhere. The song is called "Rhythmatic" off Adebisi's recently released project "The Blaxploitation". Click that link now to get the mixtape!
Check out the vid and hit the comments with your feedback.

And if I missed something, let me know. Go ahead, test me. What are some other hip hop shows going on this weekend?
Miltown Beatdown Preliminary Battle #2 Video Recap
We've been telling you about the Miltown Beatdown, we've shown you pics, did a few write ups, but that wasn't good enough. We were finally able to talk to the man behind the madness, DJ Madhatter, about how this second preliminary battle went last night.
But for those of you at work pretending to read important news, we still have a write up for you. As for all the cool kids, just check out the video below.
A lot of new and diverse sounds came into play tonight. There was a wide variety of hip-hop styles like usual. But there were a handful dubstep, dance and pop style beats that held their own. This is what a producer battle needs to be. As one of my favorite DJ's, JDL, always says, "As long as it's funky, bring it".
All the battles were close last night, and the crowd's reaction to the beats showed that as they were cheering for eveyone all night. These guys must of taken notes from last week because they came much more prepared. Even 40 Mil, seasoned battle champ and long time 2nd place holder, only advanced to the finals by literally a few points, even though his opponent was new to the battle scene.
Even though these battles were tight and some good producers had to go home, as Madhatter always says, and I agree with, this is more about building bridges than anything else. So even if you lose, you win. There are so many rappers, producers, and people involved in the music scene in one room, so where else would you want your beats to be heard?
Shout out to 40 Mil and Trademark for winning last night. They will go onto the finals June 10th at Turner Hall, along with the other prelim winners, to see who is the best producer in Milwaukee. For more info about the finals and the Beatdown itself, check out www.miltownbeatdown.com.
For all you hip hop and music fans in general, this is truly the place you need to be. No complaining about nothing to do this month. See you all next week at the Jackalope Lounj. Doors @ 9pm. Battles @ 10pm.
New King Hell Bastard Video: Ma'Waukee
Aww snaps. "Ma'waukee" is the latest from King Hell Bastard off their album Remember The Name. This is their tribute to Mil-Town so check out how they pay homage.
The footage was shot during Wu Tang Concert at the Rave earlier this year. One of the best parts was when Dana freestyled a verse he forgot, very professional, but sounded so dope no one knew. Then he had to brag to the crowd letting them know it was a freestlye. He couldn't just leave it alone.

When you put Prophetic, Yo-Dot, Raze and AUTOMATIC on one bill, you know it's gonna be dope. But don't listen to me, let Geruad from the Tuned In blog tell you more about.
Mac Miller, Curren$y and Know Flight Zone at the Rave
The upcoming rappers Mac Miller and Curren$y will be at the Rave on Saturday. They've been getting a lot of shine recently so it's definitely something to check out. Oh, who is Know Flight Zone? It's only the combination of Dana Coppa, Buttertooth and 1L from KHB, Kiran V from Fresh Cut Collective, and local dope producer Reason. They say doors open at 7pm. Don't be there before 8pm please. Trust me.
Check out this benefit concert for relief efforts in Japan. It's hip-hop, rap, R&B, rock, dubstep and more all in one. The lineup includes feature performances by DJ CTZ & DJ Infotek, musician and artist Genesis Renji, Cuil A Lin, Edvardo Martinez-Montes, the influential band H2Oddities, Odyssey, and The Sherman King Band. Vocalist Kenzie King and Elle Davis will appear as spoken word artist.
I've told you twice (one and two) about Soundset and why you need to go. So just go so I can shut up. I know it's in Minnesota. I know you don't like the Vikings, but you do love hip hop, right? Well, this is the best hip hop festival coming to the Midwest all year. Check out the posts about it and go. You have Monday off, C'mon...
Where I'll Be
I'll be down at BYO Studio lounge Thursday and Friday nights. Then I'll take my own advice and roll up to Soundset in Minnesota. JUST GO ALREADY!

What We're Bangin' In The Prius Right Now
We here at the takeover blog are starting a new series letting you know what we are listening to. Jank and I try to stay up on the latest stuff and there is a decent amount we like. Check it out.
Bizzon's Hit
El Prez - I'm Gone
Throw some heavy bass with a vocal sample from "I Got 5 On It" and it's always gonna be a hit. Yes, that's all I need. Bass.
Jank's Hit
Pac Div - I'm Fallin (Some NSFW language)
Really, how hard is it take a sample from the best song from the last hip hop album to win a Grammy for Album Of The Year and make a love song from it? Thanks Jank for your insight... Actually this song is dope.
Gil Scott-Heron dies
Gil Scott-Heron, an influential voice in hip-hop, died last night. He was 62. Dubbed "The Godfather Of Hip-Hop," he brought a poetic style and activist message that hip-hop artists would build on. More details can be found here.
Most people know him for the influential song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." Yet he brought so many sounds and messages that you should hear them for yourself to appreciate them. Check out a couple of my favorite tracks below. I still don't believe it.

Facilities and Operations
Increasing sustainability from the inside out
As a Company focused on employee health, environmental stewardship and cost-efficiency, we want our facilities to be as sustainable as possible. So as we design, build and operate our facilities, environmental performance is top of mind.
Expanding our commitment to building green
As we expand our operations around the world, we continue to implement the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) methodology. We choose green building materials wherever possible—including low-VOC paint and recycled products, which are further recyclable, such as ceiling tiles, vinyl composition floor tile, systems furniture, carpet, fabrics and more. By sourcing, designing and building with sustainable products, we minimize waste and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In all, we have earned LEED certification for five of our buildings.
In 2012, we achieved LEED Silver—Commercial Interiors Certified status for our 9,300-square-foot expansion space in Shenzhen, China. This is our second building in China to earn this distinction. Our first was the Qualcomm Kerry Centre in Beijing.
We also achieved LEED Gold Certification for construction of our new 1.3 million-square-foot facility in Longtan, Taiwan. Our other LEED Gold facilities are our 127,000-square-foot office tower in Bangalore, India (which was upgraded from LEED Silver status), and our 1 million-square-foot campus in San Diego, California, which was certified LEED Gold in 2008.
Our facilities and biodiversity
Five of our San Diego office sites are adjacent to Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, protected home to more than 500 plant species, 175 types of birds and a variety of reptiles, amphibians and mammals. We work closely with the City of San Diego and San Diego County to ensure that we have minimal impact on this important sanctuary.
More Efficient Distribution in Singapore
Improved packaging and material handling at our Singapore distribution center continued to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Reuse of pallets and boxes, recycling of corrugated cardboard and replacement of disposable palettes and cartons with steel cages and trolleys are just some of the ways we're cutting waste.
Since our Singapore distribution center introduced slimmer shipping boxes for our integrated circuit (IC) products in 2008, we've saved thousands of metric tons of cardboard. We also expect to reuse more than 30,000 cartons per year, further reducing our consumption.
Cutting waste from IT operations
As an engineering company, we depend on a robust information technology (IT) infrastructure. We take steps to minimize energy consumption and waste in our IT system, keeping both costs and environmental considerations in mind. Our Green IT Committee meets regularly to look for opportunities to cut waste, such as using their procurement teams to leverage consolidated purchasing to reduce the number of shipments we receive, saving transportation fuel and encouraging vendors to minimize packing materials.
The following are some of our new and continuing measures:
Server virtualization
|Enables a single computer to do the work of multiple machines, saving energy and carbon emissions. We increased our virtual servers by 30 percent in 2012.
Increased teleconferencing
|Teleconferencing reduces our carbon footprint by reducing travel for our employees. We increased our number of teleconference systems to 24 in 2012, with more systems scheduled for implementation in 2013.
Wireless backhaul
|We use wireless backhaul wherever feasible. Wireless backhaul—the use of wireless solutions to connect with wired networks—saves wasteful trenching of city streets for network cable installation.
Powering down printers
|All of our printers automatically power down after hours and print double-sided by default. We're replacing older printers with more energy-efficient models and buying toner that yields higher page volume.
Monitor upgrades
|We now purchase LED-backlit displays instead of CCFL displays, thereby reducing power usage and increasing lifespan. Additionally, these types of panels no longer include any mercury content.
Modular data centers
|As our Company grows, so does our demand for computing power and IT services. Modular data centers allow us to efficiently meet those demands by increasing capacity while significantly lowering energy consumption and associated costs.
ISO-certified Building services team
We strive to keep our buildings exceptionally clean and to minimize the use of chemicals as we do so. In 2012, our San Diego Building Services Team earned ISO 9001:2008 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In awarding the certification, the third-party auditor called our team a "benchmark of excellence."
In buildings at our Company headquarters, our janitorial team employs QualClean, a program that reduces chemical use, water consumption and waste while helping to ensure consistency in cleaning and a healthier workplace for our employees.
The program delivers cost efficiencies as well. Among our "green" cleaning practices:
- A system for reducing potential for cross contamination that exceeds requirements for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance.
- Two Green Seal Certified chemicals of three daily-use cleaning products.
- Use of three of four neutral pH (@ +-7) carpet-cleaning chemicals listed by OSHA as having zero toxic hazard, zero flammable hazard, zero reactive hazard and zero corrosive hazard.
- Limited use of hydrochloric, sulfamic and oxalic acids.
- Use of an ergonomic, four-level filter vacuum system proven to reduce dust particles to virtually no detectable emission.
- Use of flat microfiber mops and two-sided buckets that reduce water usage for cleaning by 75 percent.
- A just-in-time inventory system for cleaning products that reduces the amount of product disposed.
- Use of chemical cleaning concentrates that has reduced waste sent to landfills by 97 percent.
All six cafés at our corporate headquarters are Green Restaurant Association Certified Green RestaurantsTM.

SOURCE The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation
LOS ANGELES, May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The top three public charter school systems in the running for the 2014 Broad Prize for Public Charter Schools are Achievement First, KIPP Foundation and IDEA Public Schools, The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation announced today. The three charter systems are up for the top prize of $250,000 for college-readiness efforts for their students.
The Broad (rhymes with "road") Prize for Public Charter Schools is an annual award to honor the urban public charter school system that has demonstrated the most outstanding overall student performance and improvement in the nation in recent years while reducing achievement gaps for low-income students and students of color.
An eight-member review board of prominent education researchers, policy leaders, practitioners and executives from around the country evaluated publicly available student achievement data on 20 large established urban charter school systems and found that Achievement First, KIPP Foundation and IDEA Public Schools had the best overall student academic performance in recent years. The Broad Foundation did not play a role in selecting the top three charter systems.
The winner will be announced on July 1 at the 2014 National Charter Schools Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Achievement First is a network of 25 schools serving more than 8,100 students in five cities in Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island. More than 80 percent of its students are low-income, and 98 percent are African-American or Hispanic.
KIPP, the Knowledge is Power Program, is a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public charter schools. There are 141 KIPP schools across the country serving more than 50,000 students. More than 86 percent of its students are from low-income families, and 95 percent are African-American or Hispanic.
IDEA Public Schools is a network of 30 public charter schools serving more than 15,000 students across Texas. Eighty-two percent of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 96 percent are African-American or Hispanic.
Among the reasons the three charter organizations were selected as the top performers:
"Achievement First, KIPP and IDEA Public Schools are accomplishing what once seemed impossible: delivering a high-quality education to thousands of students in systems expanding across states and even the country," said Bruce Reed, president of The Broad Foundation. "Our hope is that all public charter schools and traditional district schools can learn from the practices of these high-performing systems."
Non-profit charter management organizations eligible for the 2014 award operated a minimum of five schools since 2009 with at least 2,500 students and served sizeable percentages of low-income students and students of color. Organizations cannot apply for the award nor be nominated. For a list of eligible CMOs, visit http://www.broadprize.org/publiccharterschools/eligible.html.
The Broad Prize for Public Charter Schools is the sister award to The Broad Prize for Urban Education that is awarded to traditional public school districts. The Broad Foundation launched both awards to help schools and school districts across America learn from innovative public school systems producing the strongest student outcomes.
The winner of the 2013 Broad Prize for Public Charter Schools was Uncommon Schools, and the inaugural winner in 2012 was YES Prep Public Schools.
Founded by entrepreneur Eli Broad and his wife Edythe, both graduates of Detroit Public Schools, The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation is a philanthropy that seeks to ensure that every student in an urban public school has the opportunity to succeed. Bringing together top education experts and practitioners, the foundation funds system-wide programs and policies that strengthen public schools by creating environments that allow good teachers to do great work and enable students of all backgrounds to learn and thrive.

Chest pain is a warning sign of a heart attack. That means your life may depend on getting the right kind of medical care fast. Fortunately, residents of Glendale and the surrounding area have a Chest Pain Center nearby, at Glendale Adventist Medical Center.
The Chest Pain Center isn't a building or even a department. It's an accreditation awarded to a handful of U.S. hospitals by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care. This accreditation means that Glendale Adventist has met the society's strict requirements for everything from treatment facility design to specialized training of emergency personnel to timely diagnosis and treatment, including angioplasty.
Glendale Adventist has been awarded Cycle III Chest Pain Center accreditation---the highest accreditation possible for the treatment of chest pain.
Advanced facilities, technology and procedures only have value if the patient gets to them in time. That's why it's so important to seek medical immediately if you experience the warning signs of heart attack:
For both men and women, the most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. However, women are more likely than men to experience shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, back or jaw pain, fatigue or palpitations.
If the source of your chest pain is an impending heart attack, your best chance for a positive outcome is to seek emergency treatment immediately. Angioplasty, clot-busting drugs and other treatments work best if they are administered within 30 to 90 minutes from the start of symptoms. The best way to get help fast is to call 911---never attempt to drive yourself. Even if you're uncertain about whether your symptoms are warning signs of heart attack or not, call anyway. Don't wait more than five minutes. Every second you wait delays treatment.

Fenton police collected approximately 30 pounds of unneeded and outdated prescription medicines in the said Chief of Police Rick Aro. The Fenton Police Department turned these over to the national Drug Enforcement Agency for destruction.
The amount of prescription medication people turned in is pretty consistent with other drug take-back events the Fenton police have hosted, Aro said. He notes that the amount is not decreasing.
It's that many prescription medications that aren't on the street, he added. Young people might end up abusing prescriptions lying around the home, and later begin using heroin because it's less costly than prescription medicines, Aro said.

'Environment won't be harmed by Marlow weir hydro-power'
Updated 12:29pm Tuesday 3rd December 2013 in News By James Nadal
ASSUAGING concerns over the visual impact of the hydro-power scheme at Marlow Weir will be the toughest task, the Environment Agency has admitted.
Stephen Naylor, the EA's project manager on hydropwer, acknowledged that the aesthetic aspect will be controversial but stressed that mock up images released by opponents were not accurate.
He said with the various studies required and the planning process to go through, it would be probably two years before anyone is on-site building.
He told the MFP: "I think the main issue we will have is opposition about the visual impact. I think that's what a lot of people are concerned about.
"But saying that, what I said before is that the weir is concrete and steel, it is industrial. Basically we're saying we need to look at the design of the scheme so that it is in keeping with the area to some extent.
"That to my mind would mean the structure, that is visible as it were, would need to blend with the current weir design.
"The turbines would need to have the appearance of the blending with the background.
"There is not a huge amount which sticks above the line of the weir, it is mostly on the downstream side.
"It comes down to the individual whether they think it is ugly or not. Some people think they are extremely interesting and fascinating to watch.
"I don't think they're ugly. I think if they're installed sensibly it would not look out of place."
So far there is no official visual or artist's impression.
He said there would not be increased flood risk. Installing fish passes will be an environmental benefit, he added.
He said: "What we believe that Marlow is that there is good potential for generation of electricity.
"The environmental impacts will be negligible really.
"In terms of the impacts of the screws the flow going through the system will continue to go straight into the weir pools.
"The floodgate that you would need specific as part of the scheme would manage the flood flows."
Regarding noise pollution, he said repressing shields would keep the turbines quiet and this would be well regulated.
On the Compleat Angler's concerns, he said he would "ideally want them on board".
He said: "I suspect from their point of view it's just a question of getting the design right and that the noise aspect is dealt with and it may well be they can benefit quite nicely."
A community scheme, yet to be decided, but to benefit the town, is part of the agreement, he added.

100% of the CEO
Andrew Healy
Pros – They were very friendly, and professional. Gave me a lot of responsibilities, that I was able prove myself to them
Cons – I was on a contract , rather than permanent
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – Part of a Danish bank so not hit by same crisis as Irish banks. Tightening up but still strong team feeling.
Cons – Be prepared to work long hours and to be at the end of a phone 24 hours a day. Changes to the bank are hard (closing branches and seeing staff leave) and there is definitely more work for everyone who stays.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Corning's expertise in materials, manufacturing, and process engineering is legendary. Our researchers relied on this expertise when we invented the first commercially viable low-loss optical fiber in 1970, and it has given us an advantage over our competition ever since.
In fact, Corning is unsurpassed in fiber optic manufacturing experience. We produce all the glass materials for our fiber from raw materials in our clean-room facilities, and our outside vapor deposition technology is patented. We are relentless in ensuring our manufacturing process delivers the quality, efficiency, precision, and product consistency our customers require.
An optical fiber is comprised of three basic parts: (1) the core is the inner glass of the fiber that carries information in the form of light signals; (2) the cladding glass surrounds the core and prevents signal loss; and (3) an outer coating is then applied over the cladding, to protect the glass from physical damage. Watch an illustrated comparison of single-mode and multimode composition. View
The fiber making process begins by creating "preforms" of core and cladding glass on proprietary vapor deposition lathes, with chemistry controlled so precisely that contaminant levels are measured in parts per billion. These preforms are sintered into a solid, dense, transparent glass and subsequently drawn into a coated optical fiber the diameter of a human hair, with dimensional precision at the one-micron level. Additional manufacturing steps test the fiber for strength at 100,000 pounds per square inch and fully measure its optical performance before shipment to customers.
Corning's manufacturing process is highly controlled with quality architecture built in at every stage. The resulting advantages we gain enable us to make the best performing optical fiber in the world.

TGF Rated Review: MyClothingHelper
July 13, 2012 by erica
Filed under Clothing, Family, Featured Posts, Reviews
What is it? A way of tracking how often you have worn. You can place the MyClothingHelper on your hanger is labeled with the letter "C" for clean and is numbered 1-7 to count how many times you wear a garment. It comes in a pack of 7 so you have enough for quite a few different items of clothing.
Who is reviewing it? Me and my husband.
Set Up The idea is that you let MyClothingHelper track the freshness of your clothes by using the numbers as a cleanliness gauge. The intention is to prevent unnecessary washing of clothes that are still clean enough to wear, so saving your clothes, money on washing/dry cleaning and helping the environment.
It can also be used as a way of avoiding repeat wears of the same garment. You could use MyClothingHelper to track the last day of the week you wore an item of clothing. The numbers 1 through 7 can represent the days of the week. If "1" is Monday, and the window reads "3", then you know you last wore the garment on Wednesday.
In Use You place the loop on a hanger with a clean garment and set the card to "C" for clean. Each time you wear the garment, pull the card down to the next number.
Alternatively, if you are using them to avoid wearing the same outfit on the same day each week, then you use the numbers as the days of the week instead.
Any Negatives My husband used them for his work suits. Whilst he recognised the issue MyClothingHelper seeks to address, he's already worked out his own ways of dealing with the problem, and felt that they were easy to work with than remembering to use MyClothingHelper.
Price and Availability MyClothingHelper priced at $9.99 for a pack of 7.
Overall I think this is something that could be useful to those who have a large wardrobe of clothes, particularly work clothes. However, we didn't find it very helpful as it's designed to solve a problem we don't really experience.
Rating 3/5

Why the Dallas Stars picked Jack Campbell, and why you should be happy they did
Presenting The 2010 Dallas Stars Draft Class

We have great scouts and we need to give them the chance to do their work.'' Currently the Stars have only the 11th, 41st, 71st and 131st picks in the draft.

LA CONNER, Wash. - The all terrain vehicle sits in storage now.
When 10-year old cousins Kaleb and Jeremiah were riding last fall, they clipped a pole and both boys were thrown. Kaleb's helmet fell off.
"I flew off and hit the sidewalk," he said.
Kaleb's mother got a call she'll never forget from his cousin's mom.
"She said he had bumped his head, and I was assuming it was stitches, but when I seen him brought in, he was unconscious," she said.
She says he spent the next few days in Harborview Medical Center's intensive care unit.
University of Washington surgeon Dr. Ron Maier, who is chief of surgery at Harborview, describes his head injuries.
"He received multiple skull fractures to both sides of the skull. He received facial fractures on both sides of his face," he said.
Dr. Maier says safety measures such as helmets, training, and insisting kids ride smaller ATV's can help, but they won't guarantee their safety.
"Someone who is too light to really manipulate the ATV because they don't have the body mass to actually keep the ATV stable and to make it safe in turns and maneuvers. It's guaranteed to be a phenomenally high risk for injury," said Dr. Maier.
Two new studies found a high rate of injuries from all terrain vehicles, including amputations and death. Twenty-eight percent of those injuries happened to children younger than 16. And spine injuries in kids jumped more than 400 percent from 1997 to 2006.
Though Kaleb has been asking his mom to let him ride again, she says instead, he'll spend the next few months in occupational and speech therapy.
"We have other family members that have them as well. But he's not allowed to ride them," she said.
The researchers found ATV's that are made to carry more than one rider posed an even higher risk of injuries that result in amputations and fractures.
