Note: Better Know a Band is a regular series that randomly selects, albeit unscientifically, a Hear Nebraska band profile from the bunch. We ask each band to answer eight questions in hopes that we'll learn something new.
Today's band: Tucker Hill Citizen's Brigade from Norfolk, which releases their album, The Good Life?, this Saturday at Pizza Shop Collective. The show starts at 9 p.m., and the $10 cover includes a copy of the record. RSVP to the concert here.
Hear Nebraska: In 10 words or fewer, tell me what's most interesting about your band.
Glenn Woody Henkel: All original Americana rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues revolution.
HN: Which member of the band tells the best stories? Please share one favorite with us.
GWH: We all tell great stories and have all been involved with lots of bands over the years, so it's hard to say what the best story is. Lately, the best story we have been getting a kick out of is our drummer David's quixotic "Spinal Tap" adventure getting to our show at Lovefest in the Midwest.
We all have some gigs with other acts or solo from time to time, and before our show at the Lovefest, our drummer David had a show with Jim Casey and Don Petersen. Since the Lovefest was easily highlighted on his GPS, he set out at about midnight to find us at the festival.
Apparently the highway that Maple Street becomes after it leaves Omaha and heads west can be found on numerous places in a GPS, and after driving around for over three hours and never finding us, David finally stopped in Fremont and got a hotel at about 3 a.m. Turns out he was never more than a few miles from us the whole time. Oops.
HN: Do you have any rules for practices? If so, who breaks them and will they ever learn? If not, why not?
GWH: Rules for practice are generally to use that time to go too far, to break out into something you want to explore without an audience there so we feel free to let something completely destruct. If it works out great, if not we all learn. Luckily, this group has a bunch of adventurous members who always seem to find a new place to carve out of a song and open up into a new little gem.
HN: What do you wish the crowd would do at your shows? Is there anything you wish they didn't do?
GWH: I wish they would get up and dance. They always do in the end, but it always seems like there is this convincing game going on. We are a new sound to this area, so some folks take a while to get that shit-eating grin off their faces and relax enough to just enjoy it.
A lot of the musicians who see us give us the standard, standing in the back, arms crossed, staring at us with rapt attention, studying what we are doing. I do the same at times to other bands so I understand this behaviour and take it as a compliment. But when the whole audience just gets jumpin' and that energy comes back to us on stage, that is magic.
HN: Which character from one of your songs would you most like to have a drink with?
GWH: Either Mary or Johnny, but perhaps that is a bit of a loaded answer. "Mary" and "Johnny" are my prototype characters and by name, show up in a lot of songs, even though they are not necessarily the same person in every song. I write all of the lyrics in the material we play so far, and I write real lyrics about real people and so from the beginning have stuck with "Mary" and "Johnny" as the names I would use to protect the innocent and guilty alike.
Why would i like to have a drink with these characters? Because they got issues and dilemmas and quagmires just like the rest of us, and they have made some gut-wrenching decisions and are living with the consequences, just like we all do. They are real, bloody, muddy, angelic creatures who hurt and experience joy and celebration along with pain: the human experience.
HN: What is your favorite chord and why?
GWH: Favorite chord changes up a bit. Currently, it is a C major 7. It just grabs me, and you can take that chord anywhere from jazz to overdriven rock 'n' roll. Lately, we have been funk with that one. Next week, who knows?
HN: In 10 words or fewer, tell me where you hope your band will be one year from today.
GWH: Second CD, regional tour, 150+ gigs per year, growing tribe.
HN: Where are you all from originally?
GWH: David is originally from Ohio. Randy, Craig and I have roots here in the Norfolk, Neb., area, and I have spent most of my time in Colorado jam bands and North Carolina jam bands since growing up in Nebraska.
HN: I see you were booking a tour a while back? How did that go, and do you have any updates?
GWH: The tour I am booking is actually for next summer. There are two festivals in southern Colorado I want to get on, as well as about seven different clubs on the way there and back. We hope to take Vito Cole out with us, and have a two- to three-week run out of it, and make that a regular run. We are also looking into joining forces with the Wookiefoot folks in Minnesota, and starting to book some tours regionally heading that way, so into Iowa, Minnesota, both Dakotas, and Wisconsin.
Basically, we all understand that we are not the best at what we do, we are the only ones who do what we do. That will require us to carve out a larger territory to make a living out of this, and we are all down for that ride.
We have a street dance in Madison on Aug. 4, another local music festival on August 18 that will have us plus about eight other bands. Several local club dates are in the works. We play on the main stage for the Norfolk Riverpoint Arts Festival on Sept. 22, and all summer and fall, we are taking dates as the opening act for Dylan and the Dirt Road Detour.
Musically speaking, we wrapped up our live recording event a few months back in Madison, Neb., and have created a great, live six-song EP from that, and we are heading back into the studio to lay down tracks for the studio version of our new CD with 13 original songs on it, and while all that is going on, we have already begun to explore the seeds of some new creations and new songs, so the next project has already sort of begun.

Stopping spam without CAPTCHA
Last modified: Friday, April 22, 2011
I decided to try to stop spam without CAPTCHA. I'm using a service called Akismet. It is free for personal blog use.
Akismet was originally developed for integration with WordPress. You can now use it's public API anywhere though. I'm using it via the Django comment framework.
For commercial use it's anywhere from $50 / month up to $1,000 / month depending on the frequency of usage.
I also setup email notifications for myself so I get emailed whenever a new comment gets posted.
For the news item I also set rel="nofollow"
so any link posted won't count for search engine optimization (SEO).

Sister of Babar Ahmad calls for time before government extradition
5:10pm Tuesday 25th September 2012 in News By Alexandra Rucki
The sister of a man who faces imminent extradition to the US on terrorism charges is calling for time for a private prosecution to be heard in the UK.
On Monday The European Court of Human Rights gave its approval for the extradition of five terrorism suspects from the UK to America.
Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan, both of Tooting, are accused of running a jihadist website which gave material support to terrorism.
The court denied the men the right to appeal, a move welcomed by the Government, and the decision means the men could all be extradited to the US within days.
Earlier this month businessman Karl Watkin, of Newcastle, launched a private prosecution against the pair.
He told the BBC he instructed his lawyers to prosecute because the crimes took place in the UK and the CPS has not acted.
Dr Amna Ahmad, 34, is calling on the Home Secretary to halt her brother's extradition until the Director of Public Prosecutions decides whether private prosecution can go ahead.
She told the Wandsworth Guardian: "We believe it should never have got to this stage in the first place.
This evidence was nine years ago, they could have examined it and put him on trial in the UK courts.
"They by-passed it and sent it to America. This is an abuse of due process, he should be prosecuted for crimes in the UK.
"We are calling on the Home Secretary to not extradite until decision about private prosecution is made.
"In all honesty the fight goes on and it won't stop until we see justice.
"There must be British justice for British citizens."
MP Sadiq Khan, who has been campaigning against the extradition of the pair, said: "Many local residents, as well as the family, friends and campaigners of these two men will be disappointed that Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan have not been granted a final appeal by the European Court of Human Rights.
"The charges they face are serious, and they should face a trial, but this issue has always been about where the trial should be held - in Britain or in America.
"There is still the outstanding issue of the private prosecution which Karl Watkins is bringing against them.
"There is no point in a decision being made once these two men have been extradited."
Abu Hamza, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz also face being sent to the US for terrorism offences.

Every year, photographer Marc Aviles has to limit the number of weddings he photographs to 20. That magic number allows him to take a meticulous approach in capturing both photojournalistic and posed photographs during one of life's most momentous occasions. This is it Photography's wedding-photography process, which begins with an in-depth consultation and ends with photo-album production in Italy, reflects a deep respect for each client's vision. While snapping shots, photographers zoom in on sparkling rings and colorful bouquets to capture the subtle details of the ceremony before panning out to take pictures of the couple and guests. Marc also performs engagement photography sessions, which preserve romantic images at a cherished locale, such as a beach, a blossoming cherry tree, or the restaurant where lovers shared their first heimlich maneuver.
This is it Photography's talent for creating narratives through photographs has earned them several accolades throughout their career. Though they limit their annual wedding presence, they always welcome families, pets, newborns, and models into their studio for specialized portraits. Whimsical infant photos pair babies with studio props, including a miniature claw-foot tub and giant rubber duckies. Alternatively, outdoor shoots supply sunny backdrops for candid pictures.

In 2002, owner Peter Xu realized that the chemicals of traditional dry cleaning had caused damage to his hand, so he began a complete overhaul to eliminate those chemicals from his business and the lives of his customers. Today, Nature's Best Cleaners uses a chemical-free cleaning system known as "wet cleaning" that uses a water-based solution with natural cleansing agents. The process leaves no residue and evicts chemical-pollutant stowaways hiding in clean clothing. For those who have always wanted to defy the "dry clean only" warning, wet cleaning satisfies rebellious desires without threat of shrinking or spontaneous combustion.

In my opinion, summer is all about re-inventing yourself. You don't have adults constantly on you back about things, so you have more time to
in things you have always wanted to do. Summer was invented so kids don't go insane with the pressure of school.
On Monday, 11 Jun 2012, Samantha said:
Summer is the time when we can have some freedom. It gives us a break from the constant aggravating ritual of doing exactly what the teachers tell us to do in order to get a good grade. In the summer, we have choice. Even with a job, we still chose to apply for it. For me, summer is a time to quit worrying so much about the insane structure that the
system has been molded into and actually do some things that I'd like to do and learn a little bit about myself.

My Juice Journey and wish list
, 08-09-2012 at 04:43 AM (420 Views)
So I was a 20 year, 2 PAD smoker. Tried everything to quit. Heard about these "ecigs" and started doing some research finding this forum I learned so much that I was not even aware of. So many words and variations on "ecigs"
Finally I settled on getting a kgo set since at the time this was the noob set of choice. I bought it with some LR boge cartos and multiple juice from different vendors. Mainly tobacco flavors since the whole fruit thing didn't appeal to me.....at the time.
I tried Dark City Vapors, AVE, Mr. Vape and Darth Vapers. All had good juices but the standout had to be Boba's Bounty. WOW this is what vaping is supposed to be.
I immediately quit analogs and didn't miss them. Now I was on a mission. I bought a vivi nova and some CE3s. WOW again. Now I'm never going back to cartos.
Then I took the plunge....I bought my first VV. I picked up 2 Ego Twists, a mini vivi and a Vision 2.0 clearo. Then I got some Gandalf. WOW yet again.
Since then I've tried ECBlend (sucked), Halo, Apollo, Spring Vapor (tasty belgain waffle), Got Vapes (Pyramid Fusion rocks) Just Vape, BWB (Casablanca is now my number 3 favorite) THe Vapor Room (like the RY4) Vape Dudes and Crystal Clear Vaping.
I keep going back to Boba's. Gandalf is number 2 and Casablanca 3. I keep hoping that I'll find something that could overthrow Boba's. Not because I'm tired of it but because I want that WOW feeling again.
Now I'm actually thinking of even getting either a Lavatube or Provari. I'm looking into dripping with an atty as well. Not only has this gotten me off analogs, but it's becoming a fun little hobby as well. I just fear it's going to be an expensive one.
So here's my wish list as of right now. If anyone reading this has any suggestions then please leave em. I've only been vaping for 2 months so I'm up for anything.
Juices I want to order/try
Rawr - Poison looks interesting. Since they now have samplers I may get the whole Alchemy thing.
Highbrow Vapor - Have to get the RY4
Vapor ..... - Our Ry4. Heard good things.
Mrs T Bakery. Have to try some of the waffles from there.
Got Vapes - Hush or City Lights
Kick Bass Vapor - Not sure what flavors to get yet.
Vapor Beast - Holy Grail RY4
Mom & Pop Vapor Shop - Tobacco Haze
Mister E Liquid - Grey Matter seems interesting
Nite Lite Vapor - Bounty Hunter. A whole lotta hype about this one. I hope for the best.
Halo - Tribeca
Equipment I would like to get eventually
Lavatube 2.0 from Volcano Ecigs - Hasn't come out yet but looks promising.
Provari from Provapes - So many positive reviews can't be wrong.
A dripping Atomizer
Never thought it would go this far. Just figured I'd be happy with my little kgo/carto combo. LOL

Here's a paradox. Natividad Medical Center sits in the midst of California's bountiful Salinas Valley, generally referred to as America's "salad bowl" for its bounty of fresh produce. Yet, a few years ago, the medical center faced a crisis as its employee and patient base struggled with the ill effects of rampant obesity and diabetes, all traced in large measure to unhealthy eating habits (in fact, three-quarters of Natividad patients are diabetic or prediabetic).
Natividad is a 172-bed county owned and operated acute care teaching facility in Salinas, one of 19 California Safety Net hospitals that primarily serve un- and underinsured populations.
"We saw this as a call to action to increase access to fresh and local produce in an aesthetically pleasing environment," says Foodservice Director Cori Thomas.
The department started by revamping the patient and cafeteria menus, incorporating organic produce and fresh (as opposed to canned or frozen) ingredients. Employee surveys were used to ferret out particular likes and dislikes. The result was far fewer fried foods (in fact, the fryers now only fire up once a week, for the "unavoidable" fried chicken day, but all French fries are now baked). There is also a much greater emphasis on a variety of ethnic choices ("The employee base here is very diverse," Thomas notes).
Thomas also hired a bone fide chef, Bernard Merilos. A veteran of the local restaurant scene, Merilos was near retirement and was looking for a position with a less hectic schedule than the commercial foodservice world, and one closer to his home.
Nutritional information was posted for the different selections to allow customers to make informed choices. And for those who couldn't get to the cafeteria, vending machines with fresh food were placed throughout the facility, complete with green tabs next to the items deemed more healthful.
The menu began incorporating unfamiliar selections — lentil salads, for instance — but they were successful because of careful groundwork. "If you can get people to taste things, to at least sample them, then you can often get them to eat them," Thomas says. Sales of salads — lentil and otherwise — began to grow.
It was a start but proved inadequate. What was needed was an improved environment. The department secured a limited but workable $350,000 for this project in late 2009 and began work in early 2010. It partnered with local grower and organic produce giant Earthbound Farm for a grant, as well as with local artists, designers, contractors and the hospital's foundation.
The goal of the design team was to convey the idea of access to fresh and local produce, so the new cafeteria was named the Farmers Market. Its color scheme of natural earth tones and its floor pattern were all reflective of the growing fields so close by. Abundant photos of fruits and vegetables add to the subliminal mantra: "eat fresh."
Meanwhile, the healthy choices on the menu continued to expand, both in number and popularity. Items like salads incorporating fruit (strawberries, for example), crab salad with avocado, a grilled chicken Caesar salad and even a long grain wild rice salad with squash and tofu were introduced and accepted. One particular favorite: a Cajun turkey and melon salad with cantaloupe or honeydew.
"Usually, items with lots of color do well," Thomas suggests. "So do dishes in which the ingredients are shown to have come from our farmers market" (the market debuted this past March and will operate once a week year-round). Thomas is even experimenting with menuing exotic items like quinoa.
What else? There are fresh fruit smoothies, lots of pasta primavera, fresh herbed tomatoes, roasted vegetables and pizza with fresh vegetables instead of meat.
Each of the vegetable-heavy items are also incorporated on the patient menu. Instead of nutritional data, the cafe posts Weight Watchers points, an easier-to-grasp metric that the customers seem to prefer. It all seems to be working, too, as employee satisfaction with the dining has been around 95 percent (before the changes, it was as low as 70).

Raith Rovers 1 - 2 Dundee United: United warm up for Europe with late win
DUNDEE United stepped up preparations for their Europa League meeting with Dynamo Moscow by snatching a late victory against Raith Rovers.
The Tannadice side have less than a fortnight to get up to speed for their third-qualifying-round encounter with the Russians and it appears they still have work to do.
Manager Peter Houston named a mixed line-up of youngsters and expected first-team starters and watched his charges struggle to assert the authority expected of European hopefuls until late on.
Raith opened brightly and will have been comforted by matching United for most of the 90 minutes.
The conditions were warm, but the football was tepid and it was 20 minutes before the SPL side troubled David McGurn, who pulled off a superb diving save to his left from a Barry Douglas free-kick.
Seven minutes later, the Tannadice outfit almost shot themselves in the foot as Sean Dillon was slack with a ball out from defence, but Joe Hamill pulled his shot across goal and wide with only goalkeeper Radowslaw Cierzniak to beat.
Brian Graham proved more adept after the interval when he brushed Brian McLean aside to steer Jason Thomson's through-ball past the Polish keeper from a tight angle.
Pat Clarke fired over for Rovers moments later as they match finally burst to life, with McGurn brilliantly tipping over a Jon Daly header on the hour mark.
United finally afforded themselves some much-needed succour as the time wore on. Just five minutes from time, Keith Watson volleyed in John Rankin's deep cross and then McLean headed in Ryan Gauld's 90th-minute corner.

I once worked with a guy in tech support who had an amateur production company. They make random youtube "movies" - fictional stuff mostly, 2-5 minutes long. Both working in tech support at the time and what with me and sci-fi, we came up with an idea of what tech support would be like in Star Trek.
We talked about how they always say stuff like "Damage control teams to deck 5" or whatever when something goes wrong but in the corporate world, even in "Priority One" situations - or whatever they're called at your company - a "Critical issue" or a "Class A Disruption in Service" or whatever - there is always red tape and signatures and "higher management" that get CCed in on, copied, faxed, e-mailed, Yammered, Jabbered and something something, procedures and check lists to be carried out. I didn't have anything to do with the script or production.
He and his team turned the idea in to a video - one that I think is pretty funny, but then I'm biased so v0v

In his classic, Talks to Teachers, William James observed that "All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits." Essentially, from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep, most of our daily activities are repetitive, unconscious habits. We brush our teeth, eat breakfast, go to gym and do things which, on closer examination, happen without much will and reason. They're just habits. A daily mass of these habits, over time, provides a behavioral map, which helps predict most individuals' actions. Corporations are no different. Organizational culture is an amalgam of habits. And depending on the dominant habits, firms will either fail or succeed.
According to biologists, the brain's cerebral cortex is the data processor upon which our habits are wired. Understanding the electro-chemistry and the relationship of the cortex with human behavior opens opportunities for companies to target customers effectively. If companies can make us create habits that involve their products, they'll be successful, as their revenue will grow via patronage. But they may not need to create a new habit; they can simply infuse their products into our existing routines.
Take Facebook and Twitter, for example. They're designed not just to nurture our social habits of connecting with others, but also to create a new habit of hyper-expression. New research from the University of Chicago says that texting and checking Twitter and Facebook come in just below sex and sleep on impossible-to-resist urges. These social media companies will succeed provided that they maintain the elements that sustain the habits. Why? Because habits change with acculturation, age, influence and other factors. Over time, we drop some, and pick up new ones. And companies need to keep pace with that. What's more, to remain successful, they need to play a role in creating or disrupting people's habits and aligning them with organizational products or services. In other words, as Alan Kay noted, "the best way to predict the future is to create it."
The future is full of habits, and corporations will succeed if their products or services are central to maintaining those habits. And companies can't just focus on meeting the needs and expectations of customers; they have to serve their perceptions — things the customers don't even know they need until they see them. The iPhone is the often-cited example of this — we didn't even know we needed it, but when the world saw the iPhone, we embraced it. These categories of products don't rely on focus groups because only visionaries can truly imagine their usefulness — they create entirely new habits and disrupt markets.
Becoming successful by changing the habits of customers is at the core of many successful brands. In his book, The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg explains how Claude Hopkins, the genius behind Pepsodent, achieved success a century ago by convincing people to brush every morning. Brushing every morning means buying more Pepsodent.
The process of reshaping consumer habits doesn't necessarily have to be rapid or disruptive to customers. And not every market segment needs to be invaded at the same time: iPhones and digital cameras certainly didn't work for every market segment right out of the gate. But over time, they diffused and eventually transformed their sectors.
B2B companies that focus on enterprise solutions are no different. To succeed, they need to focus on creating new corporate habits, or on nurturing an existing habit, at the very least. For example, the business model of enterprise video conferencing hinges on the idea that companies will move from physical meetings to virtual ones. If companies like Cisco and Vidyo cannot succeed in reshaping organizational habits in this way, it's not likely they can grow the sector.
In this realignment of habits lies innovation. Firms who discover a niche way to change habits — and who make their own products an essential element of the new habit — are the ones who will survive and grow.
What habit is your own business reshaping?

On Board Sebastian Bach's Provost XL II Tour Bus
Parked in the lot of the John Labatt Centre, the burgundy monster, whose name even sounds majestic and powerful, has ample space for the 6-foot-3 singer on his latest solo tour; four bandmates - bassist Rob DeLuca, drummer Bobby Jarzombek, guitarists Johnny Chromatic and Nick Sterling; tour manager, monitor engineer, guitar and drum techs. The bus driver never sleeps on the bus. For safety reasons, he is given a good 'night's' sleep at a hotel (typically in the evening or afternoon if he has to drive through the night). Bach, however, often prefers the bus -- even when given a hotel room.
"The bus is so cool. It's so cozy," says the Canadian-born Bach, who lives in New Jersey. "Like today, I had a hotel room and we were supposed to sleep till noon, and I knew I was getting up at noon to do s--- so I couldn't f---in' sleep. So at [8 AM], I said, 'F--- this hotel room! I'm going on the bus.' It's more comfy -- just comfy, just cozy."
So who sleeps where? "I pick the bunk, because I pay for the bus," Bach says with his one-of-a-kind laugh you have to hear to describe.
At the front of the bus is a flat screen TV, as big as can fit in the small area. "'Grand Torino' is a big favorite," says Bach, of the DVDs they often watch over and over again. Traveling in Canada can sometimes mean 22 hours to the next city, such as Winnipeg to Toronto.
"'Iron Man' kicks ass. We have some obscure DVDs like 'Black Oak Arkansas -- First 40 Years,'" he laughs, exaggerating. It's actually 30 years. 40 years of Helix is a good one," he says, again adding a decade to the real title, 'Helix - 30th Anniversary Concert.' "I think Brian Vollmer might be coming here tonight," he adds, referring to the frontman for the legendary Canadian metal band, which formed in 1974.
"We actually watch our own shows. Axl's nice enough to cut me a deal with his Nocturne Video crew where I can pay him real cheap and have a total pro shot of every show. So we critique the show. We just watched the Calgary show, f---in' perfect, it's coming out.
"Come to the back," Bach then directs. An avid reader, he shows his most recent book to kill time on the road, rock critic Robert Hilburn's 'Corn Flakes with John Lennon: And Other Tales from a Rock 'n' Roll Life.' "Bono writes the intro. And I'm texting Axl the whole time. Bono talks about Axl right in here. Like that's not a big deal. I'm like, 'Dude, I just bought this book and Bono writes about you.' And he's like, 'What did he say?'"
According to Bach, "The back lounge has been utilized for many many fun time activities. I mean, we've been doing this for years. The back lounge is the sex den." This specific bus? "This specific bus. Every bus," he laughs. "The back lounge is for having sex in. It's great."
Which leads to issues of hygiene with nine men all crammed onto one bus. "We shower in the [hotel] room. We do have a shower on the bus, but we don't use it."
There are definitely bus rules, too. "No number two," Bach lists first, then adds the next: "Nick Sterling has to wear his socks. He f---in' reeks like a 19-year-old [laughs]. It's the truth. He plays like a 40 year old but he smells like a 19-year-old [laughs]. There's lots of rules."
He pauses to think: "There's actually not that many rules."
As for the turquoise teddy bear lodged in its own little compartment near the front, Bach swears, "I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. It's not mine. It's not mine." He doesn't laugh this time, so he's probably not joking.

The Betrayal
by Philippe Faucon
real (320x240) [2158 kb] | wmv (320x240) [2132 kb] |
During the Algerian civil war, French Lieutenant Roque has been posted to a small, isolated villagein Algeria. His role is, officially, to pacify the Algerians, and to convince that the "good intentions" of the French presence in the country is well meant. But in fact, the main goal is the dismantling and severe repression of the FLN (Algerian undercover army of liberation). He tries hard to live up to his function, torn as he is between the resentful locals "who are subjected to brutality and torture", and the soldiers "whose morale and vigilance must be kept up at all costs". After the discovery of a notebook, containing confidential information, Roque is confronted with the possible betrayal of some of his men, all of them young recruits of North-African extraction. One of the suspects, Taieb, a protege of Roque's, attempts to make him aware of the agonising dilemmas he faces, being at once a French soldier, and Algerian-born. For Roque, the ensuing crisis, and its dramatic consequences for the already vulnerable unit, only emphasize the contradictions and absurdities of this "Nameless War".

During the past twenty seven years, our teams and players have not only been successful at State Cup, but many other tournaments throughout the country, often bringing home first and second place wins.
We are only able to do this because of volunteers. Men and women who have come back to our community and want to give back some of what they received. It is for this reason that I am so proud to be part of the Elks tradition of commitment to the youth and community of Granite City, Illinois.
We want to thank all of those people who have given their time and talent to this organization over the past twenty six years.

Genealogists discover Massachusetts strangers are rightful heirs to $1.5 million estate in Ireland
Heirs of Mary Broderick receive stake of her estate, and new knowledge of nearby cousins
When the hunt began for the late Mary Broderick's nearest relatives, no one imagined that genealogists would find clusters of cousins, who never knew each other, living within miles of each other in Massachusetts.
Boston.com reports on the amazing story that saw the heirs of Mary Broderick claim their rightful stake of her $1.5 million estate she left behind with no will in Galway.
Patricia Fontaine, of West Roxbury, MA was doubly stunned by the news of her unknown cousins and of the inheritance they'd be receiving.
"When we came to find out that I actually have cousins who live in Newton and I live in West Roxbury — I thought it was amazing, the whole thing," she said in a recent interview.
"The money is one thing, but to trace our family tree, to find out who was here, it was amazing."
The meeting of the cousins who were otherwise strangers was filmed by an Irish documentary program 'Dead Money,' which debuted on RTE last year. The series, which was nominated for an IFTA, follows genealogist brothers Kit and Steven Smyrl in their search for heirs to unclaimed estates in Ireland.
In their search for Mary Broderick's rightful heirs, they looked to Michael Brophy, a genealogist who specializes in Irish-American ancestry and is based in Massachusetts. Brophy began his own Brophy Professional Genealogy and Heir Tracing in 2004, not soon before getting laid off from his job as a medical salesman.
Mary Broderick, born Mary Shaughnessy, married late in life and had no children or siblings. She moved to her husband's farm in Galway, where she lived well after her husband's death.
In 2008, at 78, Broderick died, leaving no will for her estate valued at $1.5 million. Under Irish law, her estate would be inherited by the closest living relatives. In this case, Broderick's estate would go to her first cousins or their children.
Tracing Broderick's heirs on her mother's side was easy, but on the father's side, not so much. Broderick's paternal grandparents had 10 children, but in post-famine, late 19th-century Ireland, most of the them had to emigrate to find work.
Six of the Shaughnessy children (who would be Broderick's aunts and uncles) left Galway for Massachusetts, many of them finding work in an iron foundry in Waltham. William Shaughnessy, Broderick's father, stayed in Galway, along with three other siblings.
Only three of the Shaughnessy siblings still had living descendants and were entitled to receive a stake of the inheritance - Henry and Edward Shaughnessy and Elizabeth Minihan. They were the three among the six siblings who had emigrated to the US.

Ryan Gosling's latest big-screen foray is far from traditional Hollywood fare. The Place Beyond the Pines — also starring Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, and Ray Liotta — re-teams the A-list actor with director Derek Cianfrance, the man behind the brilliantly devastating Blue Valentine. As we've hinted at before, revealing exactly what makes this film so different would spoil part of the (bleak) fun, but what has been made clear is the basic setup: Gosling plays Luke Glanton, a tatted-up stunt biker who discovers he has a previously unknown son. To try to support his newly found progeny, he turns to a life of crime, robbing banks to bankroll his child's care. … Read More

The Most Incredible Costumes from New York Comic Con
Halloween may still be a few weeks away, but if you were anywhere in the vicinity of New York's Javits Convention Center this weekend, you'd be forgiven for thinking it came early.

Among those multitudes was a significant contingent proudly decked out in costume, representing characters from just about every genre, medium, and realm imaginable. The best of the best earned themselves a place in our exclusive NYCC 2012 photo gallery. And hey, Halloween really is still a few weeks way, so if you're looking for inspiration, look no… Read More
Jay-Z, Run-DMC, and More: The Made in America Fest in Photos
Jay-Z helped turn Philadelphia into a veritable music lover's paradise over Labor Day weekend with the debut of his two-day Made in America festival. The fest, which the superstar hopes to make a yearly one, included performances from Janelle Monáe, D'Angelo, Miike Snow, Odd Future, Skrillex, The Hives, Santigold, Dirty Projectors, and Drake, in addition to headline performances by Pearl Jam and Jay-Z himself. It also marked hip-hop legends Run-DMC's first return to the stage since the death of founding member Jam Master Jay in 2002. Surprise collaborations were a theme of the weekend, as well, with Eve joining Jill Scott during her set; Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music crew storming the stage to close out Jay-Z's performance, and day one, with renditions of "Mercy," "New God Flow," and, of course, "Ni**as in Paris"; and Jay himself joining Pearl Jam for an unprecedented take on "99 Problems." Even President Obama showed up, albeit in video form, urging people to vote while Jay looked on.

Lollapalooza 2012: The Festival in Photos
Last summer, formerly roaming, currently Chicago-based festival Lollapalooza celebrated its 20th anniversary. This past weekend, Perry Farrell's brainchild barreled into its third decade, once again taking over Grant Park (and most of the surrounding area) with three days of marquee headliners, upstart buzz bands, and plenty of sun, food, and eventually, the requisite mud. Saturday's installment saw a bit of a hitch, as the entire site was evacuated when a massive thunderstorm descended on the city; fortunately, the event resumed three hours later, with the mass exodus both out of and into the site handled remarkably well.
Nature's wrath aside, it was another banner year for Lolla. Among the highlights were main stage sets from Florence + The Machine, Metric, Sigur Rós, and the Black Keys — the latter of whom received a personal introduction from Chicago Mayor (and former White House Chief of Staff) Rahm Emanuel. Jack White closed out the festival with a headlining performance featuring both his alternating all-male and all-female bands. And then there was our personal highlight, soul man of the hour, Frank Ocean, whose Saturday night set on the Google Play stage was both a revelation and the perfect reason to steer clear of that night's main stage acts. Click through for our exclusive photo gallery from the entire weekend, both onsite and off, and if you were there too, share your own favorite moments in the comments. … Read More
Check Out Amanda Palmer's Exclusive Flavorpill Session
Last week, we welcomed the fabulous Amanda Palmer into our office as the latest performer in the Flavorpill Sessions concert series, presented with Livestream. We've been huge fans of Palmer since her early days in the Dresden Dolls, and based on what she's revealed so far, her new album, Theater Is Evil, could be her best work yet. The record isn't out until September 11, but Palmer and her new band, the Grand Theft Orchestra, have been teasing a good portion of it via recent live shows and digital samples. Meanwhile, her recent high-profile success on Kickstarter has exposed Palmer to an even wider audience — but exposure isn't something the extremely inventive songwriter has ever had a problem with, as emphasized by her latest music video.
During her hour-long session, the performer commonly referred to as AFP ran through stripped-down solo versions of new tracks including "The Killing Type" and "The Bed Song," pausing to take requests and answer questions from fans around the world. Check out a gallery of photos from the event, and then click through to watch a stream of the complete session. … Read More
NexCyx Join Sting, Tom Jones, and Hugh Laurie in Cognac
This Spring, Hennessy held an international competition to offer one band the chance to travel to France and perform at the Cognac Blues Passions festival. After extensive judging and voting, the winners of the competition were NexCyx, a five-piece group from Barbados that mixes together hip-hop, pop, rock, and reggae with excellent results. (We're especially fond of their party-starting track "On the Floor.") Jetting off to Cognac last week, the band joined a bill that also included Tom Jones, Sting, Hugh Laurie, and other heavy hitters from the worlds of blues and roots music in its six-day lineup. Take a look at some of the highlights from the fest — which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year — in our exclusive photo gallery. … Read More
Amanda Palmer Art by Frances Bean, Neil Gaiman, and Others
A few months ago, independent-music heroine Amanda Palmer wowed the DIY community by running a Kickstarter campaign for her new album that raised over ten times its original goal, roping in more than one-million dollars in support of the record's promotion, marketing, and tour. Palmer was able to accomplish this in large part due to her massive online following — the singer has over 500,000 followers on Twitter alone — but also due to her multifaceted approach to presenting her work. In addition to offering the upcoming album, Theater Is Evil, in a variety of formats, rewards for her backers included everything from a limited-edition art book to a private party.
For the book, Palmer commissioned work from over two dozen artists and friends, including Cynthia von Buhler, Cassandra Long, Michael Zulli, DJ Spooky, and Frances Bean Cobain (and hubby Neil Gaiman, natch). Each was tasked with creating either a portrait of Amanda or offering their take on the title of one of her new songs. The works debuted at private art shows in Berlin and London earlier this month, and this week they travel to the US for a series of sold-out intimate exhibits and private performances with Palmer herself. Ahead of tomorrow's Brooklyn event at Momenta Art in Bushwick, check out our exclusive gallery of pieces from the book/exhibit, then mark your calendar for the September 11 release of the album. … Read More
Photo Highlights from NYC's Governors Ball Festival
NYC has struggled for years to develop a music festival it can call its own. And while it may not rival mega-fests like Coachella or Lollapalooza, Governors Ball came back kicking for its second year with a weekend-long lineup that included such heavy hitters as Beck, Fiona Apple, Kid Cudi, and Modest Mouse. Taking its name from its original home on Governors Island, the event was somewhat confusingly moved to Randall's Island for 2012, but that didn't stop revelers from pouring in by the thousands to enjoy near-perfect weather, food from local vendors, and two days' worth of live music.

Since 1900, more than 108,000 officially protected conservation areas have been established worldwide, largely at the urging of five international conservation organizations. About half of these areas were occupied or regularly used by indigenous peoples. Millions who had been living sustainably on their land for generations were displaced in the interests of conservation. In Conservation Refugees, Mark Dowie tells this story.
This volume examines continuities and change in the normative underpinnings of both ancient and modern practices of political governance, public duties, private virtues, and personal rights and responsibilities. As such, it stands at the multi-disciplinary intersection between the practice of democratic citizenship and the exercise of political ethics.
With a new afterword by the author
Moral Sentiments and Material Interests presents an innovative synthesis of research in different disciplines to argue that cooperation stems not from the stereotypical selfish agent acting out of disguised self-interest but from the presence of "strong reciprocators" in a social group.
What is the condition of the suspect in a post-9/11 world? Do perpetual detention, ubiquitous surveillance cameras, and the legal apparatus of the USA Patriot Act target suspects accurately or generate suspicion indiscriminately? Suspect, the latest in a series from Alphabet City and the first in its new format of topical book-length magazines, gathers hard evidence about the fate of the suspect in a culture of suspicion with contributions from writers, artists, and filmmakers.
Death and the Idea of Mexico is the first social, cultural, and political history of death in a nation that has made death its tutelary sign. Examining the history of death and of the death sign from sixteenth-century holocaust to contemporary Mexican-American identity politics, anthropologist Claudio Lomnitz's innovative study marks a turning point in understanding Mexico's rich and unique use of death imagery.
Amidst city concrete and suburban sprawl, Americans are discovering new ways to reconnect with the natural world. From community gardens in New York's Lower East Side to homeless shelters in California, the search for a more sustainable future has led grassroots groups to a profound reconnection to place and to the natural world.
The Cradle of Humanity: Prehistoric Art and Culture collects essays and lectures by Georges Bataille spanning 30 years of research in anthropology, comparative religion, aesthetics, and philosophy. These were neither idle nor idyllic years; the discovery of Lascaux in 1940 coincides with the bloodiest war in history—with new machines of death, Auschwitz, and Hiroshima. Bataille's reflections on the possible origins of humanity coincide with the intensified threat of its possible extinction.
If they share one common theme, these collected papers clearly indicate the directions of current research in archaeological chemistry—a term that, taken in a broad sense, includes techniques and methodologies of many areas of science other than chemistry. Dr. Brill, in fact, advocates use of the term "archaeometry" (coined by Dr. E. T. Hall of Oxford University) to describe more accurately the work of quite a few investigators in the field.
The 1931 International Colonial Exposition in Paris was a demonstration of French colonial policy, colonial architecture and urban planning, and the scientific and philosophical theories that justified colonialism. The Exposition displayed the people, material culture, raw materials, manufactured goods, and arts of the global colonial empires. Yet the event gave a contradictory message of the colonies as the "Orient"—the site of rampant sensuality, decadence, and irrationality—and as the laboratory of Western rationality.

Is the wedge tailed eagle bigger than the bald eagle?
Yesterday, on my local public radio station, I heard a story that said the number of bald eagle nests in Illinois has increased from only 2 to roughly 100, but no further explanation was given. Is this increase due to an actual increase in the overall bald eagle population or have these birds just migrated from somewhere else that (presumably) became unlivable for them?

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Sierra County stretches from the White Sands Missile Range in the east to the Gila Wilderness in the west.
The 4,000 square miles of rugged southwestern New Mexico includes Truth or Consequences, Elephant Butte Lake and Caballo Lake. But today, one thing Sierra County doesn't include is its duly-elected sheriff, according to an investigation by News 13's Larry Barker.
"I asked him, 'It would have been nice if you had notified either the (county) commission management or administration that you are going to be gone for this period of time – either e-mail, cell phone, pigeon, I don't care,' " said Walter Armijo, chairman of the Sierra County Commission. "And he says, 'I don't have to tell anyone where I'm going.' That's the last I heard from him."
News 13 recently paid a visit to the Sierra County Sheriff's Office in T or C and asked to see Sheriff Joe Baca.
"Have a seat if you would like to wait," a deputy said. "He'll be back June 1st."
As it turns out, Baca, 39, packed up his wife, kids and the family's belongings some time late last year and moved to the Ozarks in southwestern Missouri. The sheriff didn't tell the county commission, and even some of his own deputies said they were surprised to hear he'd left town without even saying goodbye.
Baca, who is also a first lieutenant in the New Mexico National Guard, left Sierra County to attend a six-month-long leadership training class at Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri. The class, called a "captain's career course," is essential if an officer wants to be promoted up the National Guard ranks.
Officially, the National Guard ordered Baca to active duty so he could attend the class in Missouri. However, his enrollment in the class was voluntary.
The military pays all his expenses, including moving and travel costs, housing, meals, per diem and his regular guard pay. In addition, Baca continues to draw his sheriff salary.
By the time June rolls around, Baca will have been paid $44,876 by the military and $35,438 by Sierra County taxpayers.
Commissioner Armijo said Baca's undersheriff is running the office.
"How's it work?" Armijo said. "I guess (the undersheriff) picks up the phone every morning and asks what (the sheriff) wants to do. I don't know. It's not fair to the citizens of Sierra County. To me, if you are an elected official, your duties and responsibilities is to the taxpayers to be at your home base."
Responsibilities to county citizens aside, continuing to accept his sheriff paycheck while continually out of state is illegal, said New Mexico Attorney General Gary King.
"If you are an elected public official and you are absent from your office for more than 30 days, you are deemed to have abandoned the office," King said. "But then there is an exception for military service, which I think is appropriate. That law would say that you wouldn't continue to get paid for your office while you are on military service. But when you come back, that you would be reinstated."
News 13 wanted to talk with Baca, so we traveled to the Midwest last week and met him at a local diner in St. Robert, Missouri. He admitted he "absolutely" made a mistake in this situation.
"I have no issue with sending the money back," Baca said. "What I'm going to do is I'm going to draft up a letter and send it to the county commission saying that they need to suspend my pay and that if I owe them any money, that I will pay that money back."
The sheriff also admitted he didn't tell members of the county commission he was leaving for six months.
"The county commission aren't my per se boss," he said. "I did let citizens know."
On Friday, Baca directed Sierra County to stop his payroll checks and said he will repay money he received in January and February.
"They are welcome to suspend my salary until I return," Baca said. "When I get back on June the 5th, I am the sheriff."
On Wednesday, the Sierra County Commission named a temporary Sheriff to run the department until Baca returns in June

SOURCE Which Offshore
LONDON, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Under threat of a total collapse of the banking system, the Cypriot government has agreed to institute a penalty of up to 9.9% on funds held in bank accounts on the island.
The details of the move are still being finalised but it is estimated that 59 000 members of the expatriate community stand to lose up to £170m.
Despite timing the announcement on the eve of a bank holiday there are growing fears amongst expats that an eventual run on the banks may be inevitable. James O'Connor, an expat retiree living in Limassol, told Which Offshore, "We are all extremely worried. I put my retirement nest egg in a Cypriot bank account and thought it would be safe as it's in the EU.
"It is a scandal that my money is going to be taken from me through no fault of my own."
Which Offshore has consistently warned about this very possibility. Expats are always advised to hold funds in a safe jurisdiction such as the Isle of Man where a low proliferation of lending banks means that assets are extremely safe.
There is now major concern that the contagion will threaten the millions of expat retirees in the similarly exposed economies of Spain, Portugal and Italy.
The wealth management community is stressing that now more than ever it is vitally important to seek professional expat focussed financial advice when planning for retirement or transferring a UK pension offshore through a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS).
Michael Brinksman, Online Content Editor at Which Offshore said, "Expert advice has always been that expats looking to secure their financial future need to take advantage of their offshore status.
"There is no excuse for leaving your hard earned cash in a vulnerable institution when it could be put to work in a secure and tax efficient offshore jurisdiction."

Which Offshore is an online consumer resource for those seeking information and advice pertaining to matters related to expatriate life and offshore finance. A fully independent not-for-profit organisation, our website provides an information hub full of news, guides and advice to help expats manage their work and money matters.
