What all-girl trio dressed like Swedish airline hostesses wouldn't rock your skivvies off?...
Review by Gregory S. Burkart
In a small departure (okay, probably a really big departure) from our recent coverage of the latest metal, industrial and EBM releases, I decided to switch things up and venture forth into techno-pop, electroclash, whatever they?re calling it this week? hey, don?t look at me like that! This is not your standard disposable pop-tart fare; it?s got sharp edges that will cut you if you?re not careful. Just because this all-girl trio choose to dress themselves in the uniforms of Swedish airline hostesses doesn?t mean they can?t rock your skivvies off.
Wait a second? what all-girl trio dressed like Swedish airline hostesses wouldn?t rock your skivvies off? I?d better cut here before this review goes totally off-topic.
Already a huge hit in their native UK and an even bigger smash in clubs throughout Europe since their inception in 2003, the hard electro outfit Client first caught the attention of US listeners through the soundtracks to shows like The O.C., Nip/Tuck, The L Word, Queer As Folk and CSI, but they never managed to really catch fire stateside ? at least not until the release of last year?s Heartland, which represented a step up and beyond their minimalist electro technique and into the realm of big, bombastic, ?80s-inspired, get-on-your-feet club anthems. Their cover of Adam Ant?s ?Zerox Machine? best represents this new sound, and once you hear it, you?ll be hard-pressed to get the hook out of your head? not that you?d want to.
Currently comprised of Client A (Kate Holmes) on keyboards, Client B (Sarah Blackwood, formerly of Dubstar) on vocals, and Client E (Emily Mann) on bass guitar, the group has become equally adept at performing around the globe and DJ-ing in clubs throughout Europe (including a weekly ?Being Boiled? multimedia show at London?s Notting Hill Arts Club). Actively collaborating with a wide assortment of pop, electro, industrial and EBM artists ? among them Depeche Mode?s Martin Gore, German icons Die Krupps, and the recently reformed Nitzer Ebb ? Client have produced a wide assortment of remixes by way of singles, b-sides and EPs over the years, so it?s only natural that they would compile some of the most interesting of these into a standalone album. Comprised mainly of the most popular Heartland tracks, the new Untitled Remix, which streets in the US on April 8, assembles some stunning new takes on their latest sonic venture.
Kicking off with one of two versions of ?Suicide Sister? (with a vocal assist from Nitzer Ebb?s Doug McCarthy), this collection gets right down to business, with remix contributions from other notable electro artists like UnterART, Fuchs & Horn, and Eyerer & Namito. Reworked from its original New Wave instrumental style into more of a Human League-flavored synth-pop arrangement, ?Zerox Machine? (now just called ?Zerox?) is still as hooky as ever, though greatly simplified (the verses have been stripped out) and now purely dance-oriented? and it?s still a great track.
Other noteworthy collaborations include a trippy new version of the Die Krupps (review here) fan favorite ?Der Amboss? (on which Sarah Blackwood has previously performed live at Die Krupps? London shows) and a team-up with psychedelic space-rockers Replica for the previously unreleased track ?Sorry.? The closing cut is a highly experimental, mostly vocal-free interpretation of ?Drive? in which the synthesized bass, rhythm and lead lines are all thoroughly tweaked beyond all recognition into a hard-techno noisefest that?ll have the glow-stick crowd out on the floor in seconds.
I?m sure there will be plenty of you out there who shudder at the notion of modern British dance-pop ? what with all the damage done by the Spice Girls ? but rest assured, this is pop with a much edgier sensibility, calling to mind a menacing future metropolis populated by leggy fembots who can stun you with a sideways glance. It just goes to show that not all sinister musical styles come packaged with spikes, rivets or blood-dripping logos. If these remixes manage to seduce you into Client?s electronic web, you owe it to yourself to check out the original cuts from Heartland for a dangerously sexy experience.

How to Fight Your Career Fears
When you look below the surface at what blocks people's aspirations, you'll often find fear.
Have you ever wanted to do something, but felt afraid to take action? And then, when you finally did it, you realized there really wasn't that much to be afraid of, after all? Or, even worse, you didn't do it and later realized your fears were unfounded?
If you have, you're in good company. Fear is the single most debilitating factor standing in people's way of pursuing what they really want in their careers (and life in general). When you look below the surface at almost everything that blocks people's aspirations, you'll find fear.
[See 9 insider secrets to getting hired.]
The object of that fear varies—fear of failure, fear of success, fear of what "they" will think—but ultimately it all boils down to one thing. We're afraid we can't handle whatever comes up. Sometimes that's because we make the object of our fear bigger than it really is, and sometimes it's because our assessment of our own abilities and potential is unrealistically low.
Fear is natural. It can even be a good thing when it helps us steer clear of avoidable problems. But when we let that fear take the steering wheel, we relegate ourselves to riding shotgun in our own lives. The chances of steering toward our dreams from the passenger seat are slim, especially when we keep pouring high octane fear-fuel in the tank.
[See 5 habits for creating a career you can love.]
Here are three ways to take back the wheel and stop fueling your fear:
Check your stories. I often say that the biggest obstacles most of us encounter lay right between our ears (that's definitely true for me). The lens we look through determines the world we see, and too often that lens is colored—at least partially—by limiting assumptions and beliefs. Those assumptions and beliefs create fear-based stories that block our potential. They fuel the fear because they encourage us to believe (often falsely) that we're not up to the challenge.
Much of the time, we're not even aware of them. They're just our customary way of viewing the world, and it doesn't even occur to us that there might be other valid realities. One way to make sure you're not fueling your fear with unnecessarily negative stories is to listen for variations on the phrase, "I can't because..."
When you hear yourself saying, "I can't because," don't just automatically accept it. Question it. List all the reasons why you can't. Then, for each reason you have identified, ask yourself, "Is that really true? Is it conceivable that I could do it? What would the situation need to look like for me to be able to do this? What assumptions am I making? Are they valid? Are there any other ways of looking at it? Could there be another story?" Don't let unquestioned negative stories add fuel to your fear.
Reduce negative inputs. In computer programming and other fields that require quality inputs to get good results, there is a saying: "Garbage in, garbage out." One excellent way to stop fueling your fear is to eliminate, or at least reduce, the flow of "garbage" into your mind. Two common sources of mental garbage are the news and negative people.
News: In today's wired age, there is no shortage of garbage to feed your brain. A few minutes ago I stopped by a popular news site to take the pulse of the kinds of stories being covered. Of the 13 stories listed in their recent news section, 10 of them had to do with violence, bad news, or scandal. The rest were pretty neutral. There was almost nothing inspiring on the site. And that's a pretty typical ratio. (Check out my recent post on my blog about testing the toxicity of your news).
If that's the kind of input you are consistently shoveling into your mind, how can it not affect your view of the world? To stop fueling the fear, stop focusing on fear-inducing stories. It's not rocket science.
Negative people: Have you ever spent time with people who are chronically negative? They spout off about what's wrong with the world, they shoot down positive ideas, they laugh derisively at positive thinking—writing it off as hopelessly naïve. They offer an endless litany of the reasons why dreams aren't realistic.
The people you spend your time with have an enormous impact on how you see the world. In a very real sense, you start to become the people you surround yourself with. If you are surrounded by positive, inspiring people, it's almost impossible to resist living in that mold. Unfortunately, the same applies if you are surrounded by negative, fear-focused people.
Take stock of the people in your life. Are there any whose negative outlooks feed your fear? Maybe it's time to sever those ties. If that's not possible, try asking them to tone it down around you. Set some boundaries. If that still doesn't work, at least try to limit the amount of time you have to spend with them.
Put your fear to use. Finally, instead of being controlled by your fear, use it! Rather than seeing it as the end of the road for your goals and dreams, take note of your fears and ask, "OK, now what will help me avoid this outcome?" Use your fears as a point of departure for brainstorming possible solutions. Put them to work for you.
Fear serves a purpose. It's there to help you avoid a negative outcome. But it can't serve that purpose (unless you count keeping you limited and stuck) if you just let it run amok. Harness it and turn it into a tool to help you navigate the path to your dreams.

The Chicago Cubs have broken 138 years of mascot-free tradition by introducing Clark the Cub, who will entertain young fans at Wrigley Field beginning this season. Judging from reaction on the Internet, Clark instantly deserves a place on the list of pro sports' worst mascots. Here are our ideas for some other entries.
Clark the Cub (Chicago Cubs)
After 138 years of near-constant futility, the Cubs, in an apparent effort to divert fan attention from the inept product on the field, have unveiled their first mascot. Clark, named for one of the streets bordering Wrigley Field, will have his own clubhouse at the ballpark, and he won't do typical mascot things like dance on the roof of the dugouts or throw T-shirts or hot dogs into the stands. That still doesn't make the idea good.
Boltman (San Diego Chargers)
Perhaps this guy and Max Headroom were separated at birth. Sure, the idea of a muscular, ripped bolt of electricity might sound intimidating, but the effect of this costume is just bewildering from top to bottom.
Raymond (Tampa Bay Rays)
Supposedly discovered by Rays scouts on a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico (according to the team's website), Raymond has been described as a "sea dog," but with an inordinate amount of light blue fur covering his face, he looks more like a cross between a bloated walrus and a frozen manatee.
Finn the Whale (Vancouver Canucks)
Usually seen skating around the ice during intermissions at Canucks home games blowing smoke (literally) out of the blowhole in his back, Finn looks less like a whale than a deformed penguin. Oh, and he has a disturbing habit of chomping down on the heads of children.
Screech (Washington Nationals)
Screech is bald eagle in a similar way that Washington is a city full of politicians who all get along. "Hatched" to coincide with baseball's return to the nation's capital in 2005, Screech has undergone a makeover recently, but he still resembles some sort of elderly, oversized pigeon.
Pierre the Pelican (New Orleans Pelicans)
Once the NBA team in the Big Easy announced it would be surrendering its "Hornets" nickname in favor of the Pelicans, it was probably inevitable that a goofy mascot would appear at New Orleans Arena. But who could have foreseen a murderous-looking clown face perched atop a body with wings that look like they came out of an old mop closet?
Wild Wing (Anaheim Ducks)
If Daffy Duck and Jason from the Friday the 13th movies ever got together, their offspring might look like this attempt at a menacing mascot.
Spartacat (Ottawa Senators)
Supposedly this is a lion meant to strike fear in the hearts of Senators opponents, but with his spaghetti-like hair and hilariously gnarled teeth, this guy succeeds only in looking pitifully strange.
Dinger (Colorado Rockies)
Pretty much anything that looks like — or was supposedly inspired by — Barney, gains automatic entry onto this list. The brightly colored spots only make things worse.
Rumble the Bison (Oklahoma City Thunder)
According to the Thunder's website, this long-haired beast joined the team after being struck by lightning and acquiring superior basketball abilities. But the stumpy horns and empty brown eyes kind of ruin what we assume should be a look of intimidation, leaving Oklahoma City hoops fans with an abject, bizarre-looking creature as their team's mascot.

Man Arrested For DUI — On a Bulldozer
When you see a man driving around on a bulldozer at 2 AM, chances are he's up to no good.
When you see a man driving around on a bulldozer at 2 AM, chances are he's up to no good.
It didn't take a lot of investigating to arrest this drunk driver. Over the weekend police set up a DWI checkpoint in Newton, North Carolina using their mobile command center bus. It was a little in front of 3AM Sunday morning, when Douglas Southard, from Hickory, NC., came along in his red 1989 Camaro.
Last week in Coram New York, 22 year old Kevin Daly, was going out to party, and he decided to wear what he thought was his most clever t-shirt. It say's "I'm not an Alcoholic, I'm a Drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings", and sure enough, he got arrested for Drunk Driving.
Kevin Signalness of Portland, Oregon pulled off a rare feat on Monday... he pulled off what we're calling a CRIME PENTATHLON. That's five different, unique crimes all done simultaneously... and you rarely see that happen. Let's break it down...

Lifestyles: Blood donation
The American Red Cross held a blood drive today at Saint Peter's Hospital. In this week's Lifestyles Report, Beartooth NBC's Kristin Price talks to a donor about the importance of giving blood.
Maryellen Crockford says she gives blood around 5 times a year. She says as a healthcare worker, it's something small she can do to make an impact.
"I think it's the right thing to do, it's simple and I think you can help a lot of people." says Crockford.
Red Cross Donor Recruitment Representative Amber Hoofman says there is a huge need for blood in Montana.
"Obviously, there's no synthetic for blood and here in the state of Montana, there's someone that requires blood every 27 minutes," Hoofman says.
Hoofman says donating blood is easy. She says the entire process takes about an hour, including registration and materials.
According to Hoofman, "You go back into a health screen where you'll be asked a series of questions. Following that is the actual donation process and we say on average that can take anywhere from 4 to about 10 minutes."
She says the blood collected at the drives helps more than 30 hospitals, with blood collected in Helena going to local centers first. Saint Peter's Hospital representatives say a single unit of blood helps more than one person because it's divided into blood cellsplasma and platelets. Although there are some requirements almost anyone can donate blood.
"If you have the time and you can do it, I would do it," says Crockford.
And they even provide treats for the donors when they're done. The American Red Cross donation center on North Montana Avenue is open for donations on Tuesdays and Fridays.
For more information on the center visit the Helena Donor Center website.

'Out of Touch' Obama Doesn't Get Small Town America
By California Yankee Posted in 2008 | Barack Obama | Out of Touch — Comments (24) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
By now you must have heard about Obama's Liberal/Progressive elitist put down of small town America.
At a San Francisco fundraiser last Sunday, Obama revealed jut how removed he is from those who inhabit flyover country:
You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
I was born and raised in flyover country. In my case, it was a rural agricultural community in Northern California. The small town America I know may cling to guns and religion, but it sure as hell isn't out of bitterness. No, my small town America clings to guns and religion because of tradition. It's the way we were 'raised. We are a self-reliant folk. We don't look to, nor do we expect, the government to coddle us or solve every problem that some Liberal/Progressive elitist politician can identify. Actually, like President Reagan, we tend to think government is more often the problem. The more we can keep the government out of lives, the better off we are.
I resent Obama's assertion that us country folk suffer from "antipathy" toward others. I find it personally offensive. I was raised to respect others and was taught that I should strive, like God, to be "no respecter of persons." I've always tried to do that, and so do the small town folk I know.
Read on.
McCain sees working-class voters -- many of them once and possibly still "Reagan Democrats" -- as a critical constituency for his hopes of winning the White House. His advisers say Obama will have trouble locking down that support in the general election because his message has been focused more on changing the system than on delivering results.
"It's a remarkable statement and extremely revealing," McCain adviser Steve Schmidt said in a statement. "It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking, it is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."
When I first heard about Obama's insult to small town America, I thought his handlers would come up with some clever way to apologize. Instead, after initially dismissing criticism of Obama's remarks in a written statement, in Terre Haute, Indiana, Friday night, Obama repeated the insult.
Hillary issued several statements criticizing Mr. Obama, calling Obama "out of touch." The McCain campaign also weighed in:
"It shows an elitism and condescension toward hard-working Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking," said Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser to Mr. McCain. "It is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."
Obama's remarks aren't likely to cost him the Democratic nomination. Nevertheless, one only has to envision those red and blue electoral maps showing county by county the results of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, to realize the "out of touch" Obama will now be even less likely to defeat Senator McCain in November.

I've read much about this, but haven't seen any footage. Footage would be golden for a late summer campaign ad. Any footage of this exist.
but Obama has made a clarification in which he states that he probably "could have said it better" and then goes on to dig himself in deeper. I think there is vid at HotAir.
He basically repeats his point that working class small-town people are being manipulated by the evil republicans and conservatives to believe that issues like gun rights, illegal immigration, religious freedom, etc, are important issues, so that they won't realize the real issues are economic. You see, these gun-toting Bible thumping bigots didn't go to Harvard, therefore they just don't understand that they shouldbe voting Democrat.
In other words -- It's the class warfare, stupid!
For Marxist economists (whose ideas influenced all left-wing thinking thinking in the 20th century), all history is reducible to economic forces.
All else--religion, patriotism, etc.--are just "false consciousness," distractions from the true "class consciousness" that the working class is supposed to have. Religion as the "opiate of the people," as it were.
So what Obama is preaching is a genuine Marxist interpretation of American civics and history. I wonder if he got it out of "history" books like Howard Zinn's; it sure sounds like it could have come from there.
And Obama's youthful supporters are too young to realize this.
When I went to junior high school in New York City, "Das Kapital" was required reading. Back then, New York City public schools were actually pretty good. And my social studies teacher wanted us kids to be able to deconstruct the fallacies and inadequacies of Marxism.
My HS senior American Government class spent the first half of the year on a line by line study of the US Constitution and the second half on Russian/Soviet History and Marxism/Socialism/Communism. Das Kapital was also required reading, though God what a bore and a chore! This was in rural Georgia in '66-'67. Today's graduates have never had much History and virtually all that they did have was Marxist History, so Obama'a Marxist cant falls naturally on their ears. I doubt any of my stepkids would even know what Das Kapital was or who Marx or Hegel were, but dialectic materialism would sound about right to them, though they wouldn't recognize it by name. God knows I've tried though! The oldest one is starting to get it, but it has required repeating Life 101 semester after semester.
In Vino Veritas
I had the same required reading of Das Kapital (first published in 1867) in college, and my understanding is that marxism is not so much economic theory as it is a theory of history: In the same way that feudalism ultimately gave way to a free market protectionist construct, the free market will eventually self-destruct by depleting all resources available to the system of capitalism, which by definition must continue to grow (exponentially) in order to thrive. Once all resources are tapped-out, hyper-capitalism gives way, inevitably, to socialism via socio-economic revolution. Most true conservatives who have done their homework understand this concept as a defining precept of "conserv"-ative epistomology.
"They say patriotism is the last refuge
to which a scoundrel clings,
steal a little and they throw you in jail,
steal a lot and they make you king."
-Bob Dylan
Kinda funny how some of the basic tenets of conservatism can resonate the most with regard to marxist ideology... DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
If you do your homework, you will learn that Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatism was influenced by Marx.
American, British, and Australian Conservatism is nowadays mostly informed by free-market economics and fits better under the label of Classical Liberalism.
As for Marx's crackpot theory of history, I'll think about it some on the day after all the resources are exhausted and capitalism collapses. Until then, populists advancing class-struggle demagoguery get nothing from me but scorn and ridicule.
and go stimulate yourself someplace where you'll be more comforable.
In Vino Veritas
And some still speak of it as inevitable.
I grow tired of doing this but there is a glaring unsupported assumption in your post. Its painfully obvious, I mean it leaps out of the monitor and starts beating you about the head. Do you see it ? Do you understand why it is so ?
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
-Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4, 1777
Read this account of the failure of the first American Socialist State, and get back with us.
"The experience that was had in this commone course and condition, tired sundrie years, and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanitie of that conceite of Platos and other ancients, applauded by some of later times; --that the taking away of propertie, and bringing in communitie into a comone wealth would make them happy and florishing; as if they were wiser than God.
But what else is there to cling to here in the great white middle? Global warming? Security blankets went out with 5th grade; besides, saying "security" might suggest, well, national security.
Maybe Sen. Obama is jealous. We cling to familiar things that he blindly gropes for.
Barry couldnt have shown what he is better then this bizzare edition of socialist blathering. Even worse is that this is the best that the Democratic party can do. Can there be a clearer choice now??
And unfortunate souls like Obama who were not raised by parents they could rely on so very often (not always) cling to government as a way to solve all the world's problems.
If we look at the newspapers and other blogs there isn't all that much being said about it and certainly the MSM is downplaying it, as expected.
I believe that the liberals in fly-over country often times hold the same opinion that Obama stated. Not because they are bitter or not self-reliant, but because they are party voters and are mostly unconcerned with what spews forth from "those lying politicians".
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
"I actually did vote for the 87 billion, BEFORE I voted against it!"
"I ain't never votin' fo another Democrat so long as I can draw breath! I'll vote for a dog first!" - Leola Thomas
So far, if anybody is "clinging" to religion out of bitterness and anger over economics, it's Reverend Wright and his angry black supporters.
The angry blacks who have embraced Afrocentrism and Black Liberationist Theology, come closer to Obama's description than any white folks in small-town America I know.
"In the New Testament, Jesus is not for all, but for the oppressed, the poor and unwanted of society, and against oppressors...Either God is for black people in their fight for liberation and against the white oppressors, or he is not."
-- James Cone, advocate of Black Liberation Theology
Here is my question to you guys. Who should I support on the left to give Obama heck, Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader.
Neither. You should donate more money to McCain.
McKinney or Nader are mmerely annoyances. They'll get 1% of the vote if they are lucky. The return on investment is too small. It would be much better in McCain's hands.
"I ain't never votin' fo another Democrat so long as I can draw breath! I'll vote for a dog first!" - Leola Thomas
...who went to a church for 20 years and listened to a preacher who urges his followers to cling to a religion based on Marxist Black Liberation Theory, and antipathy towards people who aren't like them?
...who has spent the last few months spreading his xenophobic rhetoric in opposition to free trade?
And it is WE who supposedly cling to these things to explain our frustrations?
Of course, it's hard to understand what he believes, at all. Take his slam on the small-towner's "anti-trade sentiment". It's a howler because it comes the same week when HE rails against a very favorable trade agreement with Colombia. That was for the benefit of the unions.
His small town pejorative was for the benefit of some well-heeled San Francisco elites. He is an enigma. He panders to the audience. Virtually, no one knows what he believes or what he would do as President.
Vista really sucks!
wife live in the lap of luxury in Chicago and are surrounded with people, not to mention the MSM, who fall all over themselves to praise every word that falls from their lips. I have no doubt at all that he very much ascribes to the belief that anyone who is against him as their candidate is small-minded, intolerant, brain-washed by religion (pot, meet kettle), and in love with guns. He just made the mistake of saying this out loud--kind of like when Hillary made her little faux pas in front of a crowd in San Fran a year or two ago. The one about taking money away from people and redistributing it.
They can't hide who they really are forever--and in this case, he couldn't hide it very long at all.
At least, I distinctly remember him talking up jobs with the UAW in Detroit one day, then talking up the environment and tighter emissions standards with the EPA the next during the 2000 campaign and, of course, he won that election.
Sort of.
Okay, not really.
Like Moe has said: Best. Primary. EVAR.
This too shall pass.
I was hoping he would have gotten the nomination by now.
The general election wont even be competitive with Obama on the ticket. Surely the higher ups in the Democratic party know this by now, its Howard Dean all over again.
Obama is just the same as Kerry, just twice as weak. Its truly amazing how he's gotten them spellbound to actually believe he's got a chance.
This combined with the Pastor and the comical bowling scene, is turning into politcial train wreck never seen before. His negatives are gonna go through the roof. I bet that even Hillary will have better positive/negative numbers in a couple of weeks.
You are undersestimating the stupidity of his supporters. It doesn't matter what he says, he could say something positive about Hitler and they wouldn't care. They like him because he is black and speaks well.
There are a lot of saps in this country, I predict a close election.
counted with his handlers. By now, I hope the lot of them are feeling like someone who bought a big new flat screen TV for bargain basement prices off the back of some guy's truck in an alley, congratulated themselves on what a good deal they got and then found out when they got it home that it didn't have any working insides.

The Times-Tribune
New South Laurel coach Matt Rhymer seemed excited and ready to go during the announcement of his hiring on Tuesday.
South Laurel hasn't played a single game yet, but I believe he is the right man for the job. He's professional and put a big focus on his team to not only win games, but to "work on our image as individuals as a team," while having "great success in academics."
Plus how can you not like a guy when he's already got his quotes typed out for you?
Rhymer is young and energetic and expressed his teams will have to "outwork our opponents in the weight room, practice field, film room and on Friday nights" to be successful.
He also said "last, but not least, focus will be on winning and doing all it takes to win. Our expectation will be to win every time we compete. Losing will not be acceptable. We will only be satisfied with winning. The mindset of winning will have to be established. Our team will have to become mentally tough as soon as possible to see a quicker turnaround."
With that said, I'm glad he got the job as South Laurel's sixth head coach of the football program. The program needed a fresh face and a new start and they've got that with him.
But by no means is the job going to be an easy one.
There was a time the South Laurel football program was considered one on the rise.
But after turning in six winning seasons in the first eight years of the program while going 3-4 in the playoffs during the process, it's been a different story the past 13 years.
The Cardinal program has put together four winning seasons since while garnering only one playoff win in nine postseason games.
South Laurel has put together two of the program's worst seasons during the past three years, going winless at 0-10 in 2010 while posting a 1-9 mark this past season (the Cardinals were also 1-9 in 2001).
The last time the Cardinals put together a winning season came back in 2007 when former coach Jason Chappell guided his team to a 6-5 mark — their struggles in the postseason have been just the same.
Former coach Jep Irwin's 2005 team captured the program's last playoff win. The Cardinals have posted an overall mark of 23-51, including an 0-4 mark in postseason play since.
But that doesn't mean this football program can't be successful because it can.
South Laurel turned in some impressive seasons by posting a 31-24 mark during a five-year span (2003-07), but the Cardinals are only 14-39 since.
It's going to take time, so South Laurel fans need to be patient. South Laurel participates in a tough district and it will be interesting to see who Rhymer can get on South Laurel's schedule as non-district opponents.
Also another little tidbit on Rhymer's hiring — having former South Laurel football alumnus Neil Warren on the Football Coach Interview Committee was a step forward for the program.
Warren is a proven winner on and off the football field. He's the best student-athlete I have covered and is wise beyond his years.
He was the starting quarterback on South Laurel's 11-2 squad that lost to Tates Creek in the Class 4A regional finals in 1999 before becoming quarterback at Georgetown College.
Former coach Randy Leger was also on the committee along with athletic director Keith Gilbert, principal David Cummins, assistant principal Lynn Parman, SBDM Teacher Member Mark Jones, SBDM Parent Member Stephen Barnett and Coach Representative Konnie Snyder.
Kudos goes out to all of the above for a job well done.

A Marion County woman was arrested by Marion County sheriff's deputies and charged with domestic battery.
According to the criminal complaint filed at the Marion County Magistrate Court, Kimberly Kay Shaffer, 42, of Route 6, Box 252A, Fairmont, was arrested Sept. 5 after an incident on East Grafton Road.

The story line on the Republican Senate race in Texas is a now familiar one: A veteran politician supported by the GOP establishment is challenged by a young insurgent backed by national conservative groups.
In this distinctly Texas episode in the saga for control of the Senate, David Dewhurst is the reserved, self-made millionaire and lieutenant governor. He's facing off against Ted Cruz, the feisty son of a Cuban exile who calls himself "a proven fighter for liberty because his family knows what it means to lose it."
The underdog is former Dallas mayor and businessman Tom Leppert, who offers himself as the no-nonsense alternative to politics as usual.
In heavily Republican Texas, whoever wins Tuesday's GOP primary is almost sure to replace retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

With morning breakout sessions behind them, attendees of today's Job Summit had a lot to think about headed into the lunch hour. Eight different sessions inspired spirited and meaningful conversations about various topics that will play an important role in shaping Minnesota's future.
In one breakout session, Commissioner Lucinda Jenson of the Minnesota Department of Human Services led a discussion on better healthcare at lower costs, where panelists and attendees both shared their thoughts on the impact of the changes coming to Minnesota as part of the Federal Affordable Care Act, such as statewide healthcare exchanges, and what other efforts will be needed to make healthcare more affordable for businesses, and more accessible for individuals.
Following the Governor's opening remarks this morning, the Job Summit started in earnest. An executive panel of leaders from Minnesota companies big and small kicked off the event with a discussion about job creation in today's global economy.
Panel members included Bill George, professor of management practice at Harvard Business School and former Chairman and CEO of Medtronic, Judy Poferl, president and CEO of Northern States Power Company, Neil Crocker, president of Schaefer Ventilation Equipment, and Susan Rani, principal at Rani Engineering.
The panel was moderated by Kathy Tunheim, Governor Dayton's senior adviser for job creation.
After a series of regional economic development summits held all over the state, the Governor's statewide Job Summit kicked off this morning.
Over 700 leaders from Minnesota's business, nonprofit, government and academic sectors are all gathered at the St. Paul Crowne Plaza to share their ideas on positioning Minnesota's economy for present and future success.
For patients suffering from atherosclerosis, a condition where arteries become blocked due to plaque buildup on artery walls, treatment options can be limited to drugs or an invasive angioplasty procedure. A new technology coming out of the University of Minnesota is hoping to give patients a new noninvasive treatment option.
The University's Ultrasound Imaging and Signal Processing Lab (UISPL) recently developed a new high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology that performs noninvasive, real-time ultrasonic imaging and localized treatment. The University team was lead by Emad Ebinni, a professor at the University's College of Science and Engineering, and was licensed to International Cardio Corporation (ICC), a Minnesota startup, in March.
The Electric vehicle revolution is being pioneered right here in Minnesota. ReGo is a Minnesota-based company that is dedicated to making advances in plug-in conversion technology for existing hybrid vehicles. The company has a triple bottom-line business model that balances people, planet and profits.
To address the plug-in skeptics, ReGo has focused much of its initial efforts on increasing battery efficiency during Minnesota's extra cold winters, as reported by WCCO. Garrett Ferderber of ReGo explains in this piece that his company has found a way to convert some of the energy gained while a car is plugged in to keep the battery cells warm even in the coldest temperatures. A converted Prius can be taken from 45 MPG to 75 MPG with ReGo's state of the art lithium-ion battery.
Rushford Hypersonic is transforming academic research into commercial applications for the world of tomorrow. Founded in 2007, Rushford Hypersonic is a cutting edge nanotechnology company that produces a commercial coating used in high tooling, friction and corrosion areas. Without this technology, new frontiers of mining and manufacturing would not be possible.
The Rushford-based company uses hypersonic plasma particle deposition (HPPD) coatings "to protect objects by improving hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The coating is the hardest on the market." The company also hopes to use their coatings in medical devices such as prosthetic implants, according to the University of Minnesota. "They hope it will result in implants that will last a lifetime, eliminating the pain of replacement surgeries.
Mcgyan Biodiesel created a new way to produce biodiesel that is changing how the industry produces this renewable fuel. The key to this new technology is a "highly efficient, heterogeneous metal oxide-based catalyst reactor that efficiently and economically converts feedstock plant oils and animal fats to biodiesel."
There are several benefits to this revolutionary biodiesel process, including the reaction time and effectiveness. The Mcgyan process takes only seconds while other biodiesel processes take hours. More importantly, current waste products such as grease / used cooking oil, animal tallow, and a variety of plant oils can all be used whereas other processes are limited in their materials.
Duluth-based GeaCom has developed a device it hopes will give caregivers throughout the world the power to treat anyone, anywhere and reduce suffering and save lives. It is known as the Phrazer medical communication system, an award winning and revolutionary handheld device that collects patient information, medical history, and patient symptoms and complaints. The device monitors vital signs and stores electronic medical records, helping cut down on doctor-patient communication time and makes doctor visits more efficient and allows accurate digital recordings of patient medical history.
The Phrazer currently has 300 units working in the field and GeaCom expects that number to skyrocket to over 10,000 by the end of the year. The company also projects 40,000 units to be sold in the year 2012. GeaCom said most of its customers are military hospitals, but some insurance companies are now purchasing the device and donating it to hospitals to reduce costs and greatly improve efficiency.
Dianne Goodwin founded Blue Sky Designs in Minneapolis in 1997, with the goal of designing innovative products to help people with disabilities. For the average Minnesotan, it is easy to take for granted some of the simplest joys of life, such as going camping, taking a fishing trip, or even using a computer. For those with disabilities, these activities pose many challenges. The products designed by Dianne and the team at Blue Sky Designs address these challenges and enable individuals with disabilities to lead rich lives.
With a background in rehabilitative engineering and product design prior to founding Blue Sky Designs, Dianne possessed a strong sense of ergonomics and universal design, or more simply put, "how to develop products that help people do what they want to do." Blue Sky Designs first focused on developing custom designs for disabled individuals. These products were specially designed to serve one person's very specific needs. In 2002, Blue Sky Designs transitioned into broader product development, shifting their focus to building commercially-available products with commonly sought benefits.
Twin Star Medical is a Minnesota medical technology company pioneering the use of microporous catheters to aspirate and to infuse fluids as a local therapeutic intervention for a number of unmet medical needs. The first product to be introduced by Twin Star Medical has obtained FDA clearance and is being launched in the U.S. to treat complications from fractures.
The Department of Defense is funding clinical studies for additional FDA indications along with other product modifications for use in theater. A second product resulting from Twin Star's research is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) catheter, for which pivotal animal studies have been completed. It is poised for human studies next year. Localized drug delivery is the next focus for the Twin Star Medical technology, with the initial clinical indications for direct delivery of cancer drugs to the tumor and surrounding tissue, across a range of tumor locations.

Remote access despite blocked SSH ports with Ajaxterm
Public Internet access is often protected by restrictive firewalls, and you have no chance of running SSH. However, HTTPS over port 443 is typically permitted. Ajaxterm lets mobile users login to their home servers.
Whether they are on a business trip or just traveling for pleasure, many users drop into Internet cafés to check their mail and the logs on their web servers, or to just remotely update some software. A web-mailer will handle the first of these tasks, but Linux geeks often prefer light-weight, console-based tools, like Mutt. In the past, you could probably install the missing software on the computer at the Internet café (or example, Putty as a Windows SSH client for remote access). However, because of the increased virus issues, you are unlikely to find open PCs at Internet cafés today.

Potgieter, Sally (1996) A case study of input and classroom interaction in a multilingual chemistry class at the Port Elizabeth Technikon. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
This study examines input and interactional modifications in a multilingual chemistry class at the Port Elizabeth Technikon. The investigation constituted observing lectures presented in chemistry and analysing the data so obtained within a framework developed from a study of current theories on the relationship between language and cognition and the role of input. It was further informed by data gathered from interviews with the lecturer, questionnaires administered to the students and separate focus group discussions with first language and second language speakers of English. The conclusion is that the lecturer's interactional and input modifications make the subject content accessible to both first language and second language learners. I have made suggestions for future research in this area in the belief that the data gathered in this case study offers some useful pointers for the retraining of teachers of multilingual classes in a tertiary context.

News: Kid Cudi & Dot Da Genius' "WZRD" Tracklisting Unveiled
Saturday, Jan 21, 2012 10:57AM
Despite pushing back their WZRD collaborative effort to next month, hip-hop duo Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius' tracklisting has now emerged online.
Featuring only ten tracks, the joint project will have one guest feature.
Kid Cudi rolls out the tracklisting for his rock album WZRD, a collaboration with "Day 'N' Nite" producer Dot Da Genius. The 10 tracks include the singles "Brake" and "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie," named after Cudi's girlfriend Jamie Baratta. 1. "The Arrival" 2. "High Off Life" 3. "The Dream Time Machine" 4. "Love Hard" 5. "Live & Learn" 6. "Brake" 7. "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" feat. Desire 8. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" 9. "Efflictim" 10. "The Upper Room" (Rap-Up)
A few days ago, Dot Da Genius announced the project's delay.
"Hey Guys, WZRD Update. Me and Cudi have been working on our debut album and it's almost near completion. We are in the final stages of mastering but we really had to take time and pay attention to the sonics as this is new territory for us. With that being said, we have decided to change the release date. We are looking roughly at Feb 28th. Y'all know how Cudi is' and I'm the same way. Everything has to be in place and now it is. I know it's late notice, we were trying to keep the date but got wrapped up making this album perfect for y'all. However for making you guys wait a little longer we will release 'Brake' & 'Teleport 2 Me' on iTunes on the previously said date. AS WELL AS 'DOSE OF DOPENESS'. Hopefully that will hold you guys over until the album drops! [sic]" (Dot Da Genius' Twitter)
In November, Cudder said the project would hit stores January 30th.
"News update! Me and @DotDaGenius are no longer called 2 Be Continuum. The world will call us W Z R D, which is short for WIZARD," he tweeted November 18th.
"The title of the album is still undetermined..."
"And heres the biggest news, the official release date will be January 30, my birthday."
"Had to push it back to get the proper time to mix and master, want it to sonically be where it needs to be. For your smoke sesh enjoyment!"
"Also, the WZRD album does not contain any profanity or the usage of the word "n*gga". A universal album for everyone."
"Haha man some of yall really upset theres no profanity?? You know songs can be written with out them right?"
"Some of yall listen to so much ignorant sh*t that thats all you know or are accustomed to. My fans are smart, I know yall better then this." (Kid Cudi's Twitter)
Around spring, Cudi revealed the launch of his own new record label.
Just last night in New York City, Cudi announced the name of his new imprint, Wicked Awesome Records. Along with the new label, he broke the news that he had formed a new band called, 2 Be Continuum, formerly known as Wizard. "I needed something more original, something different, but it's still wizardry at its finest." Cudi also gave insight on his upcoming album where he told the jam-packed Roseland Ballroom crowd, "I've only been playing guitar for 9 months but the records are epic, epic, I'm really excited. We gunna have that first single for you soon." Wizard is slated for release later this year. (Complex)
WZRD is slated to drop next month.
Check out the "Teleport 2 Me" single below:

At this year's New England Metal and Hardcore Festival I had the opportunity to interview vocalist Alex Erian. Despite the band's increasing popularity he remains humble and down to earth and a real fan of death metal. We talked about the new album, some of his biggest tour horror stories, his all time favorite metal albums and much more.
Chad Bowar: How did you find new guitarist Al Glassman?
Alex Erian: We're all French Canadians, so that's what we were aiming for at first. We always talk French with each other. We only speak English on tour. In the end we checked out all the audition videos we had, and Al's was among the best ones. He lives in Massachusetts. He came to Montreal and auditioned. He's the perfect guy for us, a great guitarist and most of all a great guy. He's showing us that he's determined. He was a perfect fit. He's learning French, too, which is good.
You recently got back from your first overseas tour. How was it?
We took four months off to finish writing and recording the CD. Right after that we found Al, had about two weeks to jam, and then we had our first Canadian headlining tour. Right after that we went on our first European tour with Unearth and Job For A Cowboy. It was our first time overseas, our first time with a tour bus. It was great. It was different from over here. We're not as known, because we've never toured there and we tour here constantly. But a lot of people seemed to dig it. We did well and are going to go back there before the end of the year.
Give us a preview of your new album The Ills Of Modern Man.
The typical answer would be that it's faster and harder, but dude, it's true! We're a band that mixes death metal with metalcore and some grindcore, so we've kept the same sound, but our death metal parts are faster, more technical and more focused. The songs themselves are a bit more structured. Overall it's more mature, sounds better and is a bit heavier. There's still a metalcore influence as well and more growls. Anybody that likes our band will probably like the album.
Who produced the album?
Our old guitarist, Yannick (St. Amand), who just left the band. He produced it. He worked with Beneath The Massacre and Neuraxis. He did all our previous albums as well. We got Andy Sneap to mix it. It was kind of hectic because he was doing Megadeth at the same time. He ended up doing a great job and we're really stoked about it.
How involved are you in the mixing process?
Two of us flew over to the UK to supervise. He ended up not being ready and was doing Megadeth, so we saw him work on that.
Since you had a front row seat, how is the new Megadeth?
It's better than a lot of the stuff they've put out the past ten years.
How did you decide on the title The Ills Of Modern Man for your latest CD?
It was a last minute decision. We had a song named that, and didn't know what to call the album. The lyrics mostly deal with fears, inhibitions and regrets. That song talks about whatever problems we may have, the ills of modern man are bigger than our own problems.
What are your expectations for the album?
We try not to have any. We started out with no expectations whatsoever and just did our own thing. We went to shows in borrowed cars and actually borrowed other people's equipment to play, and here we are now. It's kind of unreal. We're just enjoying it while it lasts. We try not to be too hard on ourselves. We want to stay focused and just enjoy it. We're not going to be disappointed if we don't sell x number of records, because that's not what it's about for us. It is important, because in the end we do need to pay for all these bills, but we want to keep doing what we love, which is playing in this band and still being able to live. Obviously we hope it does well, but that's not all there is to it.
What was the first concert you attended?
It was the Rolling Stones with my parents when I was about 13. After that I went to several local shows. The first hardcore show I saw was Integrity in the late '90s. The first death metal band I saw saw probably Deeds Of Flesh and Dying Fetus in the late '90s. which really influenced us. One of the first shows I was really pumped to see was Suffocation, but they broke up a week before and didn't show up. I was really bummed out because they were one of my favorite death metal bands. Since then we played their reunion show in Montreal with Dying Fetus and we toured with them for a month and a half with Cryptopsy and Aborted, so I have no regrets now. I got to see Suffocation about 45 times.

+ Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
January 9, 2011
Isaiah 42: 1-4, 6-7
Acts of the Apostles 10: 34-38
Matthew 3: 13-17
Traditionally, the Feast of the Baptism of Christ in the River Jordan, at the hands of John the Baptist, is celebrated on the Sunday following the Feast of Epiphany.
And it is the opening lines of the Prophet Isaiah (42: 1-4) which present an ideal portrait of Christ as He is about to begin His Public Life; as He is about to carry out the will of His Father. The Prophet Isaiah writes:
This says the Lord:
Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
upon whom I have put my spirit;
he shall bring forth justice to the nations,
not crying out, not shouting,
not making his voice heard in the street.
A bruised reed he shall not break,
and a smoldering wick he shall not quench,
until he established justice on the earth;
the coastlands will wait for his teaching.
When Jesus steps from the waters of the River Jordan, He begins immediately to preach the Gospel to all of those who have chosen to listen. Christ chooses the Twelve Apostles and establishes His Church.
This special Feast should prompt us to express our gratitude to Jesus for His Gift of Baptism which has enabled each of us to become members of the Church, have the Original Sin of Adam removed from us and gives us a share in the Divine Life of the Trinity.
The Church's celebration of the Baptism of Christ provides us with an occasion to renew our Baptismal Vows and to live in such a way that each of us is able to be a witness to the Truth of the Gospel to those around us.
May we imitate the examples of Jesus and carry out God's Will for us with constancy and fidelity.

In this passionate interracial video, nubile and sexy hottie Lilly Thai gets the shit banged out of her by a white man with a massive pole. She starts off hungrily mouthing on his dick, working the head around in her mouth and then face fucking the whole dick until her tongue is tickling his balls. He pushes her back on the chair, spreading her legs apart and holding her knees up by her shoulders. Forcing his oversize hard prick into her slippery cooter, he proceeds to pump her like she's never pounded before. He bangs her until he's ready to jizz and then blows his enormous load right on her fuckhole. She loves her dripping shower.

GENEVA — City council members expect a big check in the mail from the Clean Ohio Council — to the tune of $388,455.
The money will be used to clean up the contaminated soil around the former True Temper building on Water Street, Assistant City Manager Jennifer Brown said. The property will then be developed by the Arthur Louis Steel Company to expand its metal manufacturing facility by 24,000 square feet.
The ALS Geneva location will retain 12 employees and plans to add 10 more positions, Brown said.
The grant money for soil remediation is the third such round of state dollars in the cleanup efforts. Brown said the total project investment is $1.8 million.
In 2008, the city received money to evaluate the conditions at the property. Phase two of the project was a federal site assessment grant for a comprehensive evaluation. Soil borings and water testing were performed to determine the type and degree of contamination — a step needed to apply for the Clean Ohio money.
The True Temper property has a long and storied history in Geneva. The company operated an electroplating facility on the site from 1950 to 1980, using a complex system of underground piping for chemical processes. Rinse water from the plating processes was pumped underground from the facility into a settling pond. Overflow from the rinse-water settling pond flowed through an underground pipe to a concrete basin, which emptied into the True Temper ditch. From there, the water flowed north and then west through a series of ditches and culverts and was discharged into Cowles Creek, the Midwest Hazardous Substance Research Center reports.
Brown said the city is working to "encourage new investment" locally.
"These redevelopment efforts will allow the city of Geneva to expand its tax base, retain and create new job opportunities and remove any environmental contamination," she said.
The steel fabrication company ALS specializes in structural and miscellaneous steel for industrial projects, providing steel to jobs in 40 states and 17 countries worldwide. With three locations, the company employs 67 people and is headquartered in Ashtabula.

Little is more tragic and more preventable than a child's accidental drowning in a backyard swimming pool. Losing a child in this fashion has got to be a parent's worst nightmare, yet we hear about it every summer.
According to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, the statistics are pretty straight-forward: Children between the ages of one and four are most likely to drown, and many do, often in backyard pools and small kiddie pools. For every child who dies from drowning, another four children are taken to the emergency room because they have almost drowned. And children who come perilously close to drowning often suffer serious consequences for the rest of their lives because of brain damage. Finally, and this is possibly the worst part of it all: Most young children who drown have been out of their parents' sight for less than five minutes.
The best parents in the world can become distracted and lose brief sight of their child. It is always a mistake but in few instances is it more of a mistake than when water is involved. Unlike adults, children tend to go under quickly and silently, and toddlers require only a few inches of water in which to drown.
While information like this can be terrifying, the intent is to spur adults into taking basic precautions when it comes to kids and water. Safety experts caution an "eyes-on" and "arm's reach" policy when it comes to little ones and water. Never take your eyes off a small child and always be within an arm's reach of any child five years and younger when in and near water. And it is never okay to leave a child alone near water, not even for a second. Nor should one child be left in charge of another child near the water.
As Chair of Public Safety, I encourage every parent and caretaker to take the Pool Safety Pledge: "I won't leave children alone near a pool, not for a minute, not for a second, not ever!" It can be exhausting and even a little tedious, but the terrible consequences of doing anything else speak for themselves. Let's make this summer a safe one for all of us, but especially for our children.

The good news: for the fourth consecutive year chain store label Witchery and women's lifestyle magazine Madison have teamed up to raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). In this time they have successfully raised over $1.5 million and this year is set to be their biggest year yet with a goal of raising $1 million! If that is not impressive then how about this: in the past four years White Shirt Day has funded enough to fund two full time research scientists.
What: May 19th is officially White Shirt Day, a day to spread the word about ovarian cancer awareness. The purpose of the day is a to find an early detection test to help beat Ovarian Cancer. To promote the cause Witchery have designed five limited edition white shirts and each piece has been showcased in Madison's May issue in stores today (Wednesday 18th April). Models Jessica Gomes and Kirstie Penn share the cover with Little Joe NY designer, Gail Elliott to show off these wonderful staple pieces with Aussie favourites such as Erika Heynatz imodelling the designs inside the May issue. Dannii Minogue and Tabitha Somerset-Webb's fashion label, Project D, has also stepped in to design a gorgeous sequin detail white shirt to erase the theory that all white shirts are the same.
How: From today you can purchase one of these five limited edition white shirts in store or online and you can be confident that 100% of these proceeds will go towards the fight against OVCA.
Our pick: oooh, it is a toss up between the Witchery Stud Collar Shirt and the Witchery Sequin Tie Neck Blouse.
Our pick: oooh, it is a toss up between the Witchery Stud Collar Shirt and the Witchery Sequin Tie Neck Blouse.

Weekend Audition: New Eye Candy From Beirut And Chris Smither's Latest
Do you miss the ocean? Then the latest video sailing the seas with Beirut will solve your nautical longing. We've also got the latest from blues/folk singer Chris Smither.
Zach Condon, Albuquerque native and founder of the band Beirut, loves diverse genres of music which is reflected in the lush music he creates.
Condon has traveled the world extensively, chronicling his adventures in Beirut's music. However, with The Rip Tide Condon took a different direction. "Written in isolation during a snowy upstate (New York) winter," the album is more reflective. While a departure from the previous, The Rip Tide remains true to the intermingling of different musical ideas for which the band is known.
If you need a respite from this weekend's heat, then this sumptuous new video for the title track will deliver.
Chris Smither is back with a new album Hundred Dollar Valentine. This is his twelfth record and like many of life's finer things he gets better with age. Though this work is a bit quieter in places than some of his previous efforts, it is pure Smither.
An aside: among the great musicians joining Smither on this record is Boston Singer Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Kris Delmhorst who joins the group on cello
Chris Smither will be playing Daniels Hall at Swallow Hill on September 28th.
