Jarren Benton - World Is Mine [Premiere]
Artist: Jarren Benton
Featuring: Laws
Producer: Don Cannon
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Funk Volume
Whose world is it? While Illmatic fanatics may be under the impression that it's theirs, Jarren Benton has a very different take on the matter. On his latest mixtape leak (another exclusive world premiere!), the ATL native makes it known in no uncertain terms that the "World Is Mine." Don Cannon mans the boards on this joint, serving up a catchy blend of piano, strings, and stomp-clap percussion as the emcee celebrates his continuing progress towards superstardom: "I came a long way from feelin' hopeless in my room, to walkin' on the Moon and puttin' rappers in a tomb." Fellow Booth fave Laws puts the icing on the cake, contributing sung vocals on the hook and making top-tier lyricism sound easy in an effortlessly conversational opening verse. Benton and Laws may both have a ways to go before reaching world-ownership level success, but they certainly seem to be headed in the right direction – what do you think? If you like what you're hearing, keep it locked for release details on the headliner's forthcoming, yet-untitled street album, which will be hosted and A&Red by DJBooth.

Definitely an improvement from his last feature. Production was crazy epic and the hook was above average. Laws is dope as @*#$! whenever he jumps on a track and Benton was surprisingly dope as well. Instrumentals in the production really helped keep my attention.
IMO, Jarren Benton > Laws > Production. All together, definite Banger! |

This Shit is crazy, Laws and Benton both sound sick together, beat is also sick defiantly a banger
Posted on May 25, 2010 |
I'm somewhat disappointed. Beat is a banger, but I expect more from Laws on a guest feature. Benton kills it, but some of the rhymes are recycled. I liked how they used both artists on well executed chorus.

Production was banger for sure. Laws could have done this track by himself without Benton, because honestly he fell short on his own track.

Sorry, I'm legally obligated to do that on any Don Cannon track. There's really no way you could go wrong here. I'd like to hear a little more energy from Laws, but I see what he's going for in terms of style. And extra props to Benton for the flow. Side note: can we kill the "no homo" thing? I never liked it, and it's so overplayed. Enough. |

Jorge Soler Fantasy Baseball News, Notes, Rumors and Statistics
The latest Jorge Soler MLB and fantasy baseball news
Tue, 14 May 2013 20:04:01 -0700 Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler was named Florida State League Player of the Week after going 7-for-15 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in four games for Class A Daytona. He has reached base in 10 consecutive games.
Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:54:39 -0700 Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler was benched for lack of hustle at Single-A Daytona Sunday, April 28. Soler was suspended five games earlier this month after charging toward the opposing dugout with a bat in his hands. Fantasy Tip: Soler is a promising young outfielder that is expected to become a staple of the team's outfield alignment in a few seasons. His attitude problems, if they continue, could hinder him from reaching the big leagues at a quick pace.
Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:44:23 -0700 Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler rejoined his Class A Daytona teammates Thursday, April 18, after serving a five-game suspension. He was punished for charging the opposing dugout while wielding a bat April 10.
Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:12:59 -0700 Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler was suspended for five games Thursday, April 11, and he received an undisclosed fine for his role in an altercation in a minor league game.
Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:55:17 -0700 Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler was ejected from a game at Class A Daytona Wednesday, April 10. Soler exchanged words with another player after Soler slid into second base to break up a double play. The two were separated, and Soler went to the dugout and retrieved a bat and went after the player in the opposing dugout. Soler didn't swing the bat at anyone.
Sat, 09 Mar 2013 15:16:41 -0800 Chicago Cubs SS Javier Baez and OF Jorge Soler are expected to be sent to minor league camp within the next week. "They are so raw they just have to play so many more baseball games before they're ready for this kind of big league pitching every day," manager Dale Sveum said. "Soler has been impressive to where he doesn't just go up there swinging. He has a pretty good idea. His poise in the outfield, for not playing a lot of games, it's pretty impressive." Baez and Soler are likely to start out at Class A Daytona and Sveum said it was unlikely that either player would reach the majors this year.
Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:50:09 -0800 Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum has been impressed by OF Jorge Soler, but said he is not on a fast track to the major leagues. "Guys like him, they haven't played that much baseball," Sveum said. "They've done a lot of things obviously and we all know about the tools. But fast track? There's no reason to do that. He's still got to play and learn so much and face better pitchers on a consistent basis, older pitchers who can do things. That experience factor comes in handy." Soler is likely to start this year at Single-A Kane County.
Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:04:55 -0800 Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler said he expects to be in the majors next season.
Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:32:42 -0800 Chicago Cubs OFs Brett Jackson and Jorge Soler are not ready to make an impact on the team's roster, making the team buyers in the outfield market this offseason. "We do have to address our outfield and we will look to do that," general manager Jed Hoyer said Friday, Nov. 30. "We like our prospects, but when they are as far away as some of those guys are you can't think about those guys. You have to think about your team now."
Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:21:42 -0700 Chicago Cubs OF prospect Jorge Soler made his first visit to a big league ballpark Saturday, Sept. 15, when he participated in pregame drills with the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Soler put on a strong display in batting practice, knocking two balls onto Waveland Avenue and three more that easily cleared the ivy in left.

text: Evolution of the memorial During his presidency and in the wake of his assassination, sculptors had only begun to capture the character and form of Abraham Lincoln. Notable efforts had included those of 17-year old Vinnie Ream who had observed Lincoln in half-hour sittings through the winter of 1864-1865. She later won a Congressional commission for a full-length marble statue unveiled to applause in the Capitol in 1871. Sculptor Lot Flannery and President Andrew Johnson unveiled a marble statue of Lincoln in 1868 at Judiciary Square. With Lincoln commemorative efforts rising across the Union, Congress soon sought to create a larger national memorial. Click to read more… Design & Symbolism When visitors approach the memorial dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, many are taken aback by its majestic temple-like appearance. Click to read more… Construction of the memorial The Lincoln Memorial construction took place between 1914 and 1922. Work crews had completed most of the memorial architectural elements by April 1917 when the United States entered into the First World War, but work slowed as a result. Steady progress nonetheless was maintained on the interior decorations, granite terrace, approach plaza, and grounds landscaping. Click for more… Dedication Ceremony On May 30, 1922, the Lincoln Memorial formally was dedicated, during an event witnessed by approximately 50,000 people. Leading the ceremony was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, William Howard Taft. Providing remarks and accepting the memorial on behalf of the nation was President Warren G. Harding. Dr. Robert Moton, president of the Tuskegee Institute, delivered the keynote address. Ironically, Moton spoke at the memorial for the Great Emancipator, before a largely segregated audience. Myths about the memorial Almost since its completion in 1922, the memorial to Abraham Lincoln has conjured up several myths associated with its architectural details. Whereas there are several symbolic representations in the details, such as the thirty-six exterior columns representing the number of states at the time of his death, many more suggested symbols are pure myth. Click for more… View from the Lincoln Memorial On Independence Day, 1848, Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln attended the cornerstone-laying ceremony for the Washington Monument at the western terminus of the Mall in Washington, D.C. The promise of the monument's rise paralleled that of the nation as the Union continued to grow. Even as the Union pushed west, internal forces pulled it apart and exclusionary politics reigned. As a symbol of the lack of unity, the Washington Monument construction came to a halt after just six years and after completion of less than a third of its intended height. Click to read more… Easter Sunday Concert While not the most famous event at the Lincoln Memorial, this certainly was one of great importance and symbolic impact. In 1939, after being denied the opportunity to perform at nearby Constitution Hall because of her race, the great contralto Marian Anderson sang at the Lincoln Memorial. Standing on the same steps, where years later Dr. Martin Luther King , Jr. would speak, Anderson performed for a crowd of 75,000 people, who came to enjoy her incredible voice. Anderson wanted to share her talent and she availed herself of this opportunity provided by Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom The August 28, 1963 event that included a civil rights march from the Washington Monument Grounds along the Reflecting Pool to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. More than 200,000 people journeyed to Washington, D.C. from all over the United States to exercise their First Amendment rights and demonstrate that full freedom and equality had yet to be enjoyed by all Americans. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered the most famous of the many speeches made that day. "I Have a Dream" Speech Ask most schoolchildren today and they can identify the Lincoln Memorial as the site of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The final speaker at the August 28, 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Dr. King talked of his dream that his children would grow up in a country where they would be free from racism. The speech is such a part of the Lincoln Memorial story, that the spot on which King stood was engraved in 2003 in recognition of the 40th anniversary of the event. |

Car dealer facing charges in DeKalb County charged in Mo.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A suburban Kansas City automobile dealer used personal information from customers and others who filled out credit applications to receive more than $1 million in fraudulent car loans, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said Tuesday.
Terry Lee Morrow Jr. stole the identities of at least 44 people through a car dealership in Missouri before moving to Illinois and creating another dealership, Koster said at a news conference.
In Missouri, Morrow used personal information he gleaned from customers and people who filled out online credit applications on Edge Auto's websites to obtain $1,036,522 in fraudulent car loans that he then sold to auto finance companies for more than $470,000 in cash, Koster said.

A takeout in London serves unidentified meat in lamb curry dish

This happened with someone when they orders a lamb curry takeout but what they got only baffled them. The food experts who examined it were shocked to find chunks of meat in the gravy but that meat wasn't lamb. And when DNA tests were conducted it didn't not match that of beef, goat, pork, chicken, horse or for that matter human flesh.

There's a new meme running wild on the internet that goes
something like this.
The world's energy majors are valued by the market on the
basis that coal, oil and gas reserves can be turned into real economic value,
making them an attractive punt for investors. However, if tough climate change legislation
kicks in through international regulation, then the majors are in trouble and
may in fact be massively overvalued. The claim is that we now have a rapidly
inflating 'carbon bubble' of unburnable fossil fuels. And if the bubble bursts,
investors will lose their shirt.
But there are two problems with this argument. First, as
economist Richard Tol points out, from the valuation of coal, oil and gas
companies it's clear that the market expects us to be burning fossil fuels some
time to come. Share price is after all an estimate of future expectations, not just
current value. That's not to say the market is correct, but prices simply reflect
a cold assessment of reality as seen by investors. Based on current valuations,
their call is that governments will not enact draconian restrictions on fossil
fuel use any time soon.

"It is a direct response to all of the requests we've been having for dental care for children whose teeth are in terrible shape at 4 to 5 years old," said Rhenda Gray, MHS communications coordinator.
The MHS, a charitable organization that has served Texas families for more than a century, implemented the Fantastic Teeth program about three years ago to prevent children's suffering from toothaches, to reduce missed school days due to dental problems and to cut costs for dental treatment.
The prevention kits contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, a healthy teeth sticker, a two-minute timer (recommended brushing time) and "Tips for Health Teeth" educational information in English and Spanish.
Through a partnership with lower-income schools and local Masonic Lodges, the program has distributed kits to more than 53,000 students at 627 schools this school year. If used, the kits may prevent dental problems that sometimes amount to $4,000 per child in dental care, Gray said.
St. John's Masonic Lodge, stationed off Kentucky Street in downtown McKinney, last year added kit delivery to its philanthropic initiatives. Through annual fundraisers, including a golf tournament and chili cook-off, and additional aid from Texas Scottish Rite Hospital and other large Masonic organizations, Masonic Lodges raise money for college scholarships.
St. John's typically raises enough funds for $700 to $1,000 scholarships for five to 10 students every year. St. John's Masons meet the first Tuesday every month and partake in additional degrees or programs, such as the recent kit distribution.
"The purpose is pretty much the same everywhere you go," said Jerry Brown, St. John's treasurer and a 52-year Mason. "If a kid needs us in any way, shape or form, a few hundred bucks is going to help."
St. John's Masons assembled the dental kits at the Lodge on May 24 then delivered them to Malvern and Finch the following morning.
"They haven't always had this, but there's a need for it," Brown said. "By doing this, these kids save on dental expenses."
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease, five times more common than asthma and seven times more prevalent than hay fever, according to "Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General." Dental problems more frequently affect children in low-income families than other children, resulting in almost 12 times the number of restricted-activity days, according to the report.
Dental issues directly affect educational success for children, with more than 51 million school hours lost each year to dental-related illness, and pain due to untreated dental disease can lead to problems in eating and speaking.
Whether kit recipients use the basic dental tools, the included information may find its way to their parents' hands, and spur improved dental hygiene for them, Gray said.
"Once kids are on their own, they're not dependent on their parents," she said. "Those children can start taking responsibility and may even change the dental routines of the whole family."
But Masonic Lodges, which are eligible to receive up to 300 kits each school year, must start the chain reaction in their respective cities.
Add early dental care to a Masonic tradition that's been helping kids break down barriers for centuries. Their shiny teeth may at least keep the dentist away.
"These kinds of things just make you feel good," Brown said. "It's very rewarding to see smiles on kids' faces."

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip --
With an end to weapons smuggling to the Gaza Strip one of the key points of contention in the cease-fire agreement that last week ended hostilities between Hamas militants and Israel, Egyptian security forces arrested three people Tuesday after intercepting a large shipment of weapons smuggled into the Sinai Peninsula from Libya.
Egyptian media reports said Gaza was the intended destination for the weapons, which included 185 crates filled with 5,000 rounds of bullets, anti-tank and anti-aircraft munitions, rocket-propelled grenades, landmines and explosives. The value of the shipment was estimated at $3.3 million.
It was the second weapons shipment from Libya that Egyptian authorities intercepted in less than a week. Last week, a convoy of pickups was stopped near the Egyptian town of Marsa Matrouh, not far from the Libyan border. The trucks were carrying, according to Egyptian reports, 108 Grad rocket warheads.
Tuesday's interception came as Egyptian mediators continued working with Israeli and Hamas delegations in Cairo to hammer out the details of the Nov. 21 cease-fire that brought an end, at least temporarily, to Israeli bombardment of Gaza and militant rocket attacks on Israel.
While Israeli mediators have said that one condition of the agreement is a halt to Hamas smuggling weapons, a senior Hamas member in Gaza told McClatchy that there was no such agreement.
"We will also not stop smuggling weapons into Gaza from the Sinai and this was made clear during the initial negotiations of the cease-fire," said Ahmed Youssef, a senior political adviser to Hamas' leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniya.
"Why shouldn't we receive weapons to defend ourselves when the Israelis receive weapons from the Americans all the time?" he asked.
Youssef, considered a moderate, also said that Hamas still possesses a significant arsenal of weapons following the Gaza conflict and wouldn't hesitate to use them against Israel if the Israelis attacked Gaza.
Israeli intelligence officials are not only worried about the large quantities of Libyan weapons reaching Gaza but also about weapons from Iran. The Iranian-developed Fajr-5 rockets were recently able to reach cities deep within Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, for the first time ever.
But stopping the weapons shipments promises to be a difficult undertaking. Weapons are routinely seized coming into Egypt from Libya. Just last month, Egyptian authorities stopped two pickups, also near Marsa Matrouh, that were traveling toward Alexandria on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. They were carrying scores of rockets and mortar rounds, authorities said.
Egyptian security officials say it's not always clear where the weapons are headed: Islamist militants in the Sinai or Palestinian militants in Gaza. Both receive weapons from Libya, authorities say.

In the next seven days, Walking Dead fanatics plagued by a lack of satellite TV will be able to see the most jaw-dropping episode of season two yet, How I Met Your Mother's big wedding twist will play out and scary will get sexy again with the long-awaited launch of Supernatural season seven...
The Walking Dead: Monday (July 30) at 10pm on Channel 5
If you're a Walking Dead fan who was unable to catch the series on FX, but has admirably avoided doing naughties and watching season two online, then this week's episode 'Better Angels' is the reward for your patience. It is huge.
We're not going to give too much away (though you must be some kind of sorcerer to have avoided spoilers in the four months since it aired in the US), but we can say that this penultimate instalment of the season begins with the survivors holding a funeral for Dale, before splintering over what to do with Randall (Michael Zegen), leading to... ooh, something amazing, we assure you! Trust us, you'll be chomping at the bit (get it? Because, zombies!) for next week's finale after this.
Watch a sneak peek of this week's episode of The Walking Dead below:
Vexed: Wednesday (August 1) at 9pm on BBC Two
Quite a few people weren't sure what to make of the BBC's detective-mystery-comedy-thing Vexed during its brief period on air in 2010, but we've been assured by the cast that this second series is a lot stronger - and who are we to doubt them?
Toby Stephens is back as the cocky, incompetent DI Jack Armstrong and this time he's joined by Spooks actress Miranda Raison as DI Georgina Dixon, who is replacing original lead actress Lucy Punch. Only time will tell if the new duo are dynamic or dull - but if Raison can boast banter like that in the clip below from series one, then perhaps this could be Vexed's moment to shine.
Watch a clip from Vexed series one below:
Big Brother - The White Room: Wednesday (August 1) at 9pm on Channel 5
If you're one of the... um, millions... who've abandoned Big Brother in recent times, then you might want to venture back for this Wednesday's special show, as host Brian Dowling unleashes on the housemates possibly the most intense twist in the competition's 13 years on air.
Contestants will be locked away inside the 'White Room', a claustrophobic area specifically designed to push them to the limit by recreating a feeling of emptiness that, for most, will become simply too much to bear. The person who copes best will be given a £25,000 prize, a Golden Ticket to the final... and presumably an urgent appointment with a psychiatrist to recharge. If you've condemned Big Brother for straying from its social experiment roots, then this would be the week to give the grandaddy of reality TV another chance.
Watch the Big Brother Australia 'White Room' twist below:
Supernatural: Wednesday (August 1) at 10pm on Sky Living
It may have taken over ten months to make it here from the US, but the season seven premiere of Supernatural finally arrives on Sky Living this week. How we've missed Jensen Ackles's grunting and Jared Padalecki's lovely, flicky hair.
Episode one, 'Meet The New Boss', sees the Winchesters summon Death in a bid to rein in Castiel (Misha Collins), who's gone a little power-mad in his new role as God. Shockingly though, getting tangled up in the affairs of the Grim Reaper and the Almighty has some pretty major consequences. It's an epic episode, one that makes us wonder how we coped for so long without Sam and Dean in our lives. It's good to have you back, boys!
Watch the promo for Supernatural season seven below:
How I Met Your Mother: Thursday (August 2) at 8.30pm on E4
Season seven of HIMYM draws to a close this week with Robin (Cobie Smulders) desperately trying to get a good photo of Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Marshall's (Jason Segel) baby, and Ted (Josh Radnor) running back to his ex in a bid to find true love and a few more bits, but the main reason for tuning in is to finally discover the identity of Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) mystery bride.
His current girlfriend Quinn (Becki Newton) is the frontrunner at the moment, but surely that's a little too obvious for the notoriously twisty How I Met Your Mother? And who knows, maybe we'll get our wish and it'll be Robin rocking up in a white gown. That would be legend - wait for it....
Watch a clip from the How I Met Your Mother finale below:
What are you looking forward to watching this week? Let us know below!

According To Jim The Complete Third Season DVD Review–Mundane Done Extremely Well
The folks out at Lions Gate sent over a copy of a little something newer for us to try, another bit from the ABC lineup. Today we're tackling According to Jim The Complete Third Season, just ahead of the release of According to Jim The Complete Fourth Season, which is actually on tap for later.
According To Jim The Complete Third Season takes us to Jim and Cheryl's house, a regular couple of folks with three kids and a whole lot of relatives. Cheryl's brother Andy is a frequent participant in Jim's crazy schemes, but Cheryl's sister Dana is usually on Cheryl's side. Yes, it's pretty much sitcom excelsior out here as Jim and Cheryl have a variety of wacky adventures that are solved within a half hour. They'll attend bingo games, bilk old ladies, and compete with each other over who gets to do the grocery shopping.
Thankfully, while According To Jim is sufficiently straightforward that you'll see many of the problems coming, and also how they'll be solved, well in advance, there will be plenty of laughs. It really was a surprise that they'd insert so many good quality jokes into this, and I think a good chunk of what's behind the unexpected quality here is the combination of Courtney Thorne-Smith and Jim Belushi. They work shockingly well together, and the end result takes the otherwise stale and predictable sitcom and gives it a little extra punch. It may sound mundane–that's mostly because it is–but it's mundane done extremely well.
It's surprisingly clever, especially for some series on ABC. And it's clear to see why it lasted as long as it did, especially if the rest of the series turns out like this one did. I didn't catch this when it was on, but seeing it now makes me wish I had. And that may well be the highest praise I can give an old sitcom.
You'll likely be pretty impressed with this one yourself, assuming you haven't seen it already. It may be sitcom standard, but there are loads of laughs here, and that makes it a fine choice for those looking for a good time.
The Screenhead Ten Scale gives According To Jim The Complete Third Season an eight out of ten. It's strange, but this gigantic lump of sitcom standard has a lot more comedy to it than you might expect. You'll find it funny, no doubt, and that kind of laughter goes down smooth every time.

National Endowment for the Arts and Library of Congress
Contact: |
Washington, DC -- The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is partnering with the Library of Congress to host an evening of readings by three Russian poets on Monday, April 7, 2008. The reading celebrates the release of Contemporary Russian Poetry: An Anthology, a new Russian and English anthology published by Dalkey Archive Press. The poetry reading will take place at 7:00 pm in the Mumford Room on the sixth floor of the James Madison Building at the Library of Congress (101 Independence Avenue, SE). The reading is free and open to the public.
Visiting poets Elena Fanailova, Yuli Gugolev, and Evgeny Bunimovich will read selected work from the anthology in Russian. NEA Director of Theater and Musical Theater Bill O'Brien will read an English translation of each poem. After the reading NEA Chairman Dana Gioia will moderate a question-and-answer session with the poets followed by a book signing and reception.
"Russia has been the birthplace of some of the world's greatest poets, from Alexander Pushkin to Anna Akhmatova to Joseph Brodsky. This new anthology continues the longstanding tradition of artistic exchange between the U.S. and Russia," said NEA Chairman Dana Gioia. "I am delighted to partner with the Library of Congress for this reading to introduce some of Russian's newest bright voices to the U.S."
Contemporary Russian Poetry features the work of more than 40 Russian poets born after 1945, many of whom have not been previously published in the West. The new anthology was published as part of an international literary exchange between the NEA and the Foundation for Creative Projects in Russia. Contemporary Poetry of the U.S., featuring work by more than 40 U.S. poets, was published in Russia by OGI Press in October 2007. This special literary exchange is part of the U.S. Department of State Global Cultural Initiative, a multi-faceted international cultural diplomacy effort characterized by partnerships with U.S. government and private sector cultural agencies and institutions.
The reading at the Library of Congress is part of a three-city book tour to Washington, DC, New York City, and Chicago presented by Dalkey Archive Press.

Shortly after 0830 on 19 February 1945, the assault ships, landing ships, landing craft, and LVTs standing off the beach of the Japanese stronghold of Iwo Jima saw the "Romeo" flag appear on the signal bridges of the designated ships of Richmond K. Turner's Task Force 51. Radios crackled with the identical message: "Land the Landing Force".
As the coxwains steered the amtracks and landing craft into assault waves and headed toward the beach, the bloodiest and most difficult 26 days in the history of the Marine Corps began. Fighting savagely against an entrenched, skilled, and determined foe, the forces of the V Amphibious Corps (3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Divisions) under General Holland M. Smith would cover themselves with glory on this forbidding volcanic mass that was a stepping stone to the invasion of the Japanese homeland.
When the island was declared secure on 16 March, 1945, nearly 5.000 Marines and Sailors lay dead, with another 21,000 wounded, with nearly all the 21,000 Japanese defenders also dead. Twenty-seven Medals of Honor were awarded to 22 Marines and 5 Sailors. Admiral Chester Nimitz had proclaimed that, in the battle for Iwo, "uncommon valor was a common virtue". Also from the stinking slaughterhouse of Iwo Jima came the most famous photograph ever taken, Joe Rosenthal's iconic image of Easy Company, 28th Marines' flag raising.
I won't try and describe those 26 days in this post. So much has been written about Iwo Jima that I could do nothing but disservice to attempt to re-tell those tales here. Please, read the works by Bill Ross, Eric Hammel, and so many others. The story, six and a half decades on, remains among the most compelling in the history of American men at arms.
What should be striking to planners today who discuss amphibious operations in terms of "operational maneuver" is the requirements in numbers of ships to land what was really a modest-sized force. The assault on Iwo Jima was a middling-sized amphibious assault by the standards of 1945. With an initial landing of around 30,000 Marines and 150 tanks, the landing at Iwo was much smaller than TORCH (North Africa) in 1942, HUSKY (Sicily) in 1943, and the 1944 operations of OVERLORD (Normandy), DRAGOON (Southern France), or even MacArthur's Pacific landings at Hollandia (New Guinea) and Luzon (Philippines).
An examination of forces shows that Admiral Turner's Task Force 51 (Joint Expeditionary Force) consisted of nearly five hundred ships and craft. Five HUNDRED. Among the ships of TF 51 were forty-three Attack Transports (APA), sixteen Attack Cargo Ships (AKA), six Fast Attack Transports (APD), thirty-one LSMs, and sixty-three LSTs. Sixty-five auxiliary ships, and nearly one hundred landing ships. Such numbers should be noted in today's discussions about amphibious capabilities and power projection.
However, on this milestone anniversary we should remember the men who fought on Iwo Jima, at places called Beach Green, the Meat Grinder, the Amphitheater, Suribachi, and a hundred others whose names were famous only to those who endured the furnace of that island. To those who survived and those who gave their lives, we owe each of you a debt that can never be repaid. Every single Marine since that battle has measured himself against you, and always will. Semper Fidelis.

The Leading Source for Global News and Information Covering the Ecosystem of High Productivity Computing / January 5, 2007 |
The BioTeam, a consulting collective that delivers informatics solutions to the life science industry, has announced that it is releasing their iNquiry software on the Microsoft's new Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003.
The challenge is many informatics problems are data-intensive and require high computational power to solve. However, the individuals who work on these problems are not always experts in scalable computing. Science departments and other groups that are getting into high performance computing for the first time need a platform that is powerful but easy to use, and cost effective. The installation, customization and ongoing support of a scalable commodity cluster have traditionally presented a formidable challenge to busy scientists, and limited budgets.
BioTeam's iNquiry software platform enables the rapid deployment of a ready-to-use cluster and web portal for use in life science informatics settings. It comes preconfigured with many open source scientific applications and can be extended to support additional commercial, open-source or internally developed applications.
Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS) 2003 is a new HPC operating system specifically designed for group and departmental-level deployment.
"Windows Computer Cluster Server 2003 has everything needed to quickly deploy a Windows-based cluster," said Michael Athanas, founding partner of The BioTeam. "The combination of Microsoft's product and iNquiry will be a solid and compelling compute solution platform for researchers and scientists."

Bahrain's Crown Prince Urges Consultation During Ramadan Visits
Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa urged the importance of consultation today while addressing a gathering at a majlis in Manama. Since the start of Ramadan, the prince has been visiting majlis arousal the country to discuss social, political, and economic issues. "No-one should make decisions single-mindedly without consulting with the citizens either through traditional gatherings or through existing constitutional institutions," Prince Salman said, adding, "Sectarianism, elitism and racism, under all their forms, are harmful while mutual respect and compassion between all the segments of the society make coexistence possible."
However, Bahraini academic, Baqer Al Najar, insists that addressing social dimensions is critical to the country's political and national reconciliation. Evening debates during Ramadan have shown that many insist that political reform is the best way toward national reconciliation. But Najar believes, "The social dimension is very important because it could lead to mutual acceptance. Once social acceptance is achieved," he said, "the political concurrence will follow."
Meanwhile, in neighboring Saudi Arabia, authorities freed a potester for 48 hours who had been detained for a year for taking part in an anti-government protest. Khaled al-Johani was temporarily released Wednesday, after his arrest last year after he arrived at the site of a planned anti-government demonstration that had been prevented by a massive security operation to deter protests.
In addition, a Saudi court will look into an unprecedented apostasy case of a foreigner converting a Muslim woman to Christianity. According to Sabq news website, a Saudi man filed suit against a Lebanese man for converting his daughter to Christianity and smuggling her out of the country.

The City Council this week unanimously repealed part of a local law that limits how long food truck operators can idle on public streets.
The move Tuesday night came in response to a lawsuit filed by the SoCal Mobile Food Vendors Association, which argued the city's 10-minute limit on selling goods from parked vehicles conflicted with state law.
The group representing Los Angeles-area food trucks also questioned how an operator could logistically do business within that timeframe.
City staff members expect to return to the council in three to six months with newly proposed food truck regulations.

Memorial Park Conservancy's Gala – A Sylvan Success
What a perfectly magical Gala night!
Memorial Park is a very popular place and a well-loved park. Memorial Park Conservancy's First Gala Chairman Madeleine Hussey and committee-members Blaine Adams and Stephanie Fox have proof! Over 400 guests attended this wildly successful first effort to host a fundraising gala on behalf of the park.
After a week of rain and sweltering heat, nature took care of its own and gave the Conservancy the first perfect night of the season to celebrate Memorial Park. Honorary Chairs Meg Goodman and Mike Bonini's home enchanted guests who also enjoyed the brilliance of Jackson and Company's picnic-themed dinner. Guests danced with the night to the groovin' sounds of Mid-Life Crisis and the Hot Flashes. Guests also bid on our small, but fabulous, auction which reflected the many ways Houstonians enjoy Memorial Park.
The Gala brought in over $275,000 for the Memorial Park Conservancy, Inc. All proceeds benefit Memorial Park Conservancy, Inc. the non-profit charged by donor Ima Hogg with protecting and preserving the park. The 25-year Memorial Park Conservation Master Plan, approved by Houston's City Council, in 2004, is well underway. Our thanks to all of you for your continuing support!

Trees Planted on Westcott Esplanade
The City of Houston, together with Guaranty Bank and Temple-Inland Forest, gave two Westcott Esplanades a Forest Facelift on Saturday, November 4, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Following a brief ceremony, Mayor Bill White and 200 volunteers will plant 2,006 Loblolly Pine Trees, native to Houston, on the medians near Westcott and Durford.
"When these trees grow tall, the Westcott esplanades will not only be beautiful but will provide environmental benefits for us all," said Mayor Bill White. "Guaranty Bank and Temple-Inland have shown their commitment to Houston, its citizens and our City with their donation. They've been great corporate sponsors of Tour de Houston and now these trees are further evidence of their commitment to the city."
Guaranty Bank and Temple-Inland chose to give the 2006 Trees to the City and the Mayor as a gesture of appreciation. When these trees mature they will serve as a green corridor from I-10 to Memorial Drive and will connect the beautification project under way at the Washington and Westcott roundabout.

You may have forgotten that DMX was getting ready to release his seventh solo album Undisputed. Let's be honest — DMX probably forgot that he was putting an album out. It turns out the album is really on its way (for now). The album's cover and tracklist have been released, and Dark Man X is keeping the features to a complete minimum, with MGK and the late Notorious B.I.G. as the only guests. No word on features or if Swizz Beatz is involved. Everyone wants to root for the man, but the drugs have obviously taken a toll on him, and it's not 1999 anymore. His last album came out in 2006, so we can only imagine the transformations he has gone through both personally and musically. Undisputed is currently due September 11th. You can pre-order it here.
Ludacris drops the visual for his latest single "Jingalin". The video was directed by Aristotle & will land on his upcoming album, Ludaversal.

Before Rick Ross' sixth album God Forgives, I Don't hits stores next tuesday, check out one of the album's more anticipated songs "Diced Pinapples" with Wale and Drake. The song, aside from having one of the most incredibly ridiculous titles in the history of rap music, features Wale doing a spoken-word intro and the closing verse with Drake only on the hook. "Diced Pinapples" is produced by Cardiak. (I really just wanted an excuse to type that song title again).
Fabolous decides to do his thing over The-Dream and Pusha T's "Dope Bitch". Fab and Terius have had plenty of success in the past. Does this remix live up?

I believe many gardeners have a love-hate relationship with their lawns. We love the idea of a green carpet of grass to complement our landscapes and we take pleasure in watching visiting children cavort on the grass.
On the other hand, we are in tune with the current trend to minimize damage to the environment, so we feel somewhat guilty every time we start our lawn mowers and watch them spew out more harmful exhaust.

9 Female Characters We Wish We'd Been More Like In High School
Because teenagerdom is a mess, but some people handle it better than others.
What's with the name?
It's not just Halloween in the real world. Artist Dennis Culver was commissioned by Movie Fone to draw cartoon characters dressed up for Halloween, and some of the resulting images are a bit… disturbing. Like Snoopy as the Driver, ready to bash some skulls in, or Mickey Mouse as Freddie Krueger. But others are just plain fun. (Daria Morgendorfer as Beetlejuice. Yes!) And anyway, it wouldn't be Halloween without some creep factor.

QUENANS Jewelery - THE BEST!.
Quenans is one of those classy stores that have been family owned since the 1940's. Obviously they have been around this long for a good reason. Their selection is breathtaking! The staff is friendly, informative and unobtrusive! Michael worked with me and I have never experienced such personal care before, during and AFTER my selection/purchase. Completely trustworthy and if they don't have something I know they could get it for you. I thought gone where the days when people did "personal" business but it says a lot when the owner- Steve remembers your name. A definite MUST for anyone getting engaged, looking for timeless pieces or casual jewelry for everyday wear. I guarantee you thay have something for any occasion and it will certainly be special. Thank you Quenans!
(PS They also do appraisals)
Excellent Service. When I bought my engagement ring there, I was treated with excellent and professional service. The price was just right and the quality of the diamond was exactly what I wanted. I was impressed by the personal attention that was given to me. So much that I returned to by another ring for my 1st Anniversary. They actually remembered me going in the first time and made me feel at home

Load of Rubbish is a film about recycling made for Sydney Opera House staff. The House implemented new recycling bins across all the offices and back of house areas in late 2009. As part of the roll out, we made a short film to show Sydney Opera House staff that we've all a role to play in minimising the waste sent to landfill. To get staff to 'think' before they 'throw out', we took a journey to discover what happens to our rubbish and recycling once it's put in the right bin.TRIPOD talk about Greening the House

The Duck Smith House Bed & Breakfast
Table Of Contents
The Duck Smith House will delight your every senses!
From the moment you arrive you will be greeted by the friendly sisters, Barbara & Suzanne and Daisy Mae (the resident dog), who will make it their mission to see that you are made to feel right at home and welcome.
A tour of the 1914 farmhouse is always a treat. Hear how they renovated the home in three months and made this an elegant home with warmth and charm. A little formal, Yes, but not stuffy just special to make this a stay to remember. Aren't you looking for that "Wow" place? It's right here.
The living room is inviting and a great place to meet other guests. Come sit, have some cheese and crackers on a silver tray and a glass of ice tea. When the weather is nice there's the front porch with its wicker furniture of chairs and rockers.
Each of the four bedrooms was meticulously chosen to have its own personality which can make it hard to decide which room to stay in. Don't like climbing stairs, then the first floor Carolina Room will be perfect for you. Need your own bed, the Waverly Room has two full size beds. See what we mean, hard to decide. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. How about fresh flowers in your room. All your needs have been thought out and put in your room, robes, hair dryer, ice water and extra pillows. Forgot something just let them know.
Breakfast! Come into the sunniest room of the house and see the lovely four tables with lace tablecloths, fine china, crystal and fresh flowers . Now you know breakfast is going to be something very unforgettable . Fresh ground coffee from their own blends of coffees or herbal teas are available, can't you just smell it. Then there's fresh fruit with one of Suzanne's delightful toppings. Next is Barbara's wonderful stuffed French toast or maybe blueberry pancakes or a new surprise. Small portions aren't the standard but can be accommodated so don't forget to let them know.
A small sample of the Seagrove Pottery is displayed in the breakfast room. A great way to see what the potters have to offer. There are business cards in front of each piece so take one so you can map out your pottery shopping day. Seagrove has about 100 potters so plan on being thrilled with all their works.
Birders ... wait until you see how Suzanne has put up the bird feeders (10 of them right now) and bird house (6 hanging from the tree). She used the 100 year old walnut tree and has a pulley system that amazes. See and hear approximately 26 different varieties of birds. Wonderful.
The North Carolina Zoo is less than 10 miles from The Duck Smith House. It is the third largest free roaming zoo in the United States and has 5 miles of shaded walking paths through the woods.
The first floor bedroom features our only king size bed which has four windows over looking the porch. This is a large bedroom. The stall shower has one bench inside. We call this room handicap accessible.
$145 plus tax per nightOn the second floor we have three additional bedrooms each with a private bathroom. One room with a queen size bed has a shower/tub combination in the bathroom. The other room with queen size bed has a stall shower with one bench inside. Our third room has two full size beds and a large bathroom with stall shower that has two benches inside. $145 plus tax per night.
Click Here to Check on Room Availability
Come stay at The Duck Smith House, be pampered and know that when you stay here you will be spoiled and have memories that last and last.
Pottery shopping of over 100 potters in town or along Seagrove country roads, some families dating back to the 1700's.
The NC Zoo which is a world-class natural habitat to more than 1000 animals is a must to see. Walk through a rainforest or the desert. The Zoo is only about 10 minutes away.
Other places to visit include -- the Pisgah Covered Bridge (one of only two left in NC) and only 15 minutes away with a walking path through the woods. NC Pottery Center, Museum of NC Traditional Pottery, Richard Petty Museum, Aeronautics Museum, Morrow Mountain & Uwharrie State Parks, and numerous antique shops are worth visiting. Golfing at several local courses is also available.
Breakfast is served each morning out on an enclosed porch which overlooks the garden and woods. With a "birds eye" view of our bird feeders which attract about 22 different species, you will be entertained with the various personalities of our local "flock". A touch of class is added to a scrumptious breakfast by being served on fine china and crystal, with lace linens. Be spoiled, relax and savor the moment.
Nothing but the best while you are our guests! We serve a complete breakfast which may include Stuffed French Toast, which is Barbara's signature dish, or another breakfast favorite like Fresh Blueberry Pancakes. Breakfast is complimented with a fruit dish, fresh juice, and your choice of coffee or tea.
Built in 1914 by William "Lola" Trogden this beautiful old farmhouse stood overlooking 50 acres in what is now the heart of hand-made pottery country.In the mid 1920s the house was rented to the Hayworth Duckery "Duck" Smith family. Mr. Smith was a colorful character known for his participation in local politics of the time, and for always wearing a bow tie and white shirt while working his regular job as the janitor for the Seagrove school. Sometime around 1932, Lola Trogden needed to sell the house so "Duck" Smith and his wife would have to move out.
Johnny Asheworth would purchase the "Duck Smith" house from Lola Trogdon in 1932. By 1933 Johnnie Asheworth, his wife, son James and daughter Mabel would move in. During the years they lived there it is believed that electrical wiring (external coiled metal tubing) was brought to the house.
In 1951 the property was purchased by Raymond Brim for his family of six. The house remained the Brim home and the homestead of a 50 acre working tobacco farm until its purchase in early 1997 by Sarah Naradzay when it was renovated.
Following the restoration of the structure, The Duck Smith House, opened for business as a Bed and Breakfast in fall of 1997. November 2005 saw the purchase of The Duck Smith House once again by sisters Barbara and Suzanne Murphy and Daisy, resident dog. The Home has been completely restored again. Barbara and Suzanne Murphy plan on keeping the farmhouse feel but with a more luxurious look.
