Bret Teegarden has not received any gifts yet
I started Nashville Music Pros because I wanted a place online where all members of our music community could come together and share stories, get and give ideas, reconnect, connect, teach, learn and have some fun. The Nashville music scene has always been such a close-knit community.
I find myself wearing many hats these days. It's actually fun and I don't get bored very often.
I love hearing from everyone and cheering you on as you make our industry better. We're all in this together...(insert cheesy Disney song here)
Hit me up if you have any questions or ideas on how to make this place even better.
Much love to all,
"...no drug is so powerful as the drug of self. No rut in the mind is so deep as the one that says I am the world, the world belongs to me, all people are characters in my play. There is no addiction so powerful as self-addiction." - Miller
I thought it would be fun to put songs I've worked on in my player that you probably haven't heard. It's pretty diverse. If it's "names" you're looking for, you can always view my discography.
Good to be here, Bret! Looking forward to getting moved back to Nashville. Should be by early Summer at the latest, I would think!
Thanks so much for featuring my song "Take Your Freedom" in the music player.
That's awesome! I love them! I would love to tell you more of what I do! I'm actually somewhat available right now so if you hear of anything, let me know! I'll drop you a message with some info, or if you have time, I'd love to grab coffee at some point! Let me know! Talk to you soon Bret!
Hey Bret! No, I played the previous year. Jeromy is a close friend, but this year I was playing for Women of Faith and then out on The Story Tour after that (not playing, just as a friend). :-)
Hi Bret,
I really like the file transfer feature on the website. Unfortunately, I am having some difficulties with getting the feature to come up. Can you help me with this. It has been invaluable to use for sending wave files.
Thanks Bret. Great looking site and service.
Great to meet you too Bret! Would love to get together sometime to talk more. Feel free to call if you want to get together. 615-927-9459

Effective Date: March 19, 2009
Date: February 17, 2009
Federal Register Vol. 74, No. 30, page
This SSR consolidates information from our regulations, training materials, and question-and-answer documents about the functional equivalence domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects." It also explains our policy about that domain.
Sections 1614(a)(3), 1614(a)(4), and 1614(c) of the Social Security Act, as amended; Regulations No. 4, subpart P, appendix 1; and Regulations No. 16, subpart I, sections 416.902, 416.906, 416.909, 416.923, 416.924, 416.924a, 416.924b, 416.925, 416.926, 416.926a, and 416.994a.
A child[1] who applies for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)[2] is "disabled" if the child is not engaged in substantial gainful activity and has a medically determinable physical or mental impairment or combination of impairments[3] that results in "marked and severe functional limitations."[4] 20 CFR 416.906. This means that the impairment(s) must meet or medically equal a listing in the Listing of Impairments (the listings),[5] or functionally equal the listings (also referred to as "functional equivalence"). 20 CFR 416.924 and 416.926a.
As we explain in greater detail in SSR 09-1p, we always evaluate the "whole child" when we make a finding regarding functional equivalence, unless we can otherwise make a fully favorable determination or decision.[6] We focus first on the child's activities, and evaluate how appropriately, effectively, and independently the child functions compared to children of the same age who do not have impairments. 20 CFR 416.926a(b) and (c). We consider what activities the child cannot do, has difficulty doing, needs help doing, or is restricted from doing because of the impairment(s). 20 CFR 416.926a(a). Activities are everything a child does at home, at school, and in the community, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.[7]
We next evaluate the effects of a child's impairment(s) by rating the degree to which the impairment(s) limits functioning in six "domains." Domains are broad areas of functioning intended to capture all of what a child can or cannot do. We use the following six domains:
(1) Acquiring and using information,
(2) Attending and completing tasks,
(3) Interacting and relating with others,
(4) Moving about and manipulating objects,
(5) Caring for yourself, and
(6) Health and physical well-being.
To functionally equal the listings, an impairment(s) must be of listing-level severity; that is, it must result in "marked" limitations in two domains of functioning or an "extreme" limitation in one domain.[9] 20 CFR 416.926a(a).
In the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects," we consider the physical ability to move one's body from one place to another, and to move and manipulate things. These activities may require gross or fine motor skills, or a combination of both.
Moving one's body includes several kinds of actions, such as:
Moving and manipulating objects includes several kinds of actions, such as:
All of these physical actions require children to exhibit varying degrees of strength, coordination, dexterity, and pace to accomplish a given task or activity (for example, getting dressed). They also require children to have a sense of where their bodies are in relation to the environment and an understanding of how their bodies move in space (for example, jumping rope). In addition, gross and fine motor skills require the integration of sensory input with motor output (for example, seeing a ball and catching it). Those skills also require the capacity for motor planning and motor memory, that is, the ability to plan, remember, and execute controlled movement (for example, riding a bicycle).
Both physical and mental impairments can affect a child's ability to move about and manipulate objects. For example:
Some somatoform disorders can also have effects in this domain.
Some medications can affect a child's ability to move about and manipulate objects. For example, some antidepressant medications may cause hand tremors that interfere with fine motor skills. If these effects persist over time, we consider them in this domain.
As with limitations in any domain, we do not consider a limitation in the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects" unless it results from a medically determinable impairment(s). However, while it is common for some children (especially younger children) to experience some difficulty in this area from time to time, a child who has significant but unexplained problems in this domain may have an impairment(s) that was not alleged or has not yet been diagnosed. In such cases, adjudicators should pursue any indications that an impairment(s) may be present.
In the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects," we consider how well children are able to move their own bodies and handle things. We evaluate limitations of fine and gross motor movements caused by musculoskeletal and neurological impairments, by other impairments (including mental disorders) that may result in motor limitations, and by medications or other treatments that cause such limitations.
In the domain of "Health and physical well-being," we consider the cumulative physical effects of physical and mental impairments and their associated treatments or therapies not addressed in the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects." We evaluate the problems of children who are physically ill or who manifest physical effects of mental impairments (except for effects on motor functioning). Physical effects, such as pain, weakness, dizziness, nausea, reduced stamina, or recurrent infections, may result from the impairment(s) itself, from medications or other treatment, or from chronic illness. These effects can determine whether a child feels well enough and has sufficient energy to engage in age-appropriate activities, either alone or with other children.[10]
In fact, an impairment(s) or its treatment may have effects in both domains when it affects fine or gross motor functioning and the child's general physical state. For example, some medications used to treat impairments that affect motor functioning may have physical effects (such as nausea, headaches, allergic reactions, or insomnia) that sap a child's energy or make the child feel ill. We evaluate these generalized, cumulative effects on the child's overall physical functioning in the domain of "Health and physical well-being." We evaluate any limitations in fine or gross motor functioning in the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects."
Impairments that affect motor functioning and their associated treatments can have effects in other domains as well. For example, generalized or localized pain that results from an impairment(s) may interfere with a child's ability to concentrate, an effect that we evaluate in the domain of "Attending and completing tasks" and often in the domain of "Acquiring and using information." Pain may also cause a child to be less active socially, an effect that we evaluate in the domain of "Interacting and relating with others." Some medications for physical impairments may cause restlessness, agitation, or anxiety that may affect a child's social functioning (which we evaluate in the domain of "Interacting and relating with others") or emotional well-being (which we evaluate in the domain of "Caring for yourself").[11]
Therefore, as in any case, we evaluate the effects of a child's impairment(s), including the effects of medication or other treatment and therapies, in all relevant domains. Rating the limitations caused by a child's impairment(s) in each and every domain that is affected is not "double-weighting" of either the impairment(s) or its effects. Rather, it recognizes the particular effects of the child's impairment(s) in all domains involved in the child's limited activities.[12]
While there is a wide range of normal development, most children follow a typical course as they grow and mature. To assist adjudicators in evaluating a child's impairment-related limitations in the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects," we provide the following examples of typical functioning drawn from our regulations, training, and case reviews. These examples are not all-inclusive, and adjudicators are not required to develop evidence about each of them. They are simply a frame of reference for determining whether children are functioning typically for their age with respect to the development and use of gross and fine motor skills.
To further assist adjudicators in evaluating a child's impairment-related limitations in the domain of "Moving about and manipulating objects," we also provide the following examples of some of the limitations we consider in this domain. These examples are drawn from our regulations and training. They are not the only examples of limitations in this domain, nor do they necessarily describe a "marked" or an "extreme" limitation.
In addition, the examples below may or may not describe limitations depending on the expected level of functioning for a given child's age. For example, a teenager would be expected to run without difficulty, but a toddler would not.[13]
This SSR is effective on March 19, 2009
SSR 09-1p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability Under the Functional Equivalence Rule --The "Whole Child" Approach; SSR 09-2p, Title: Determining Childhood Disability — Documenting a Child's Impairment-Related Limitations; SSR 09-3p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability — The Functional Equivalence Domain of "Acquiring and Using Information"; SSR 09-4p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability — The Functional Equivalence Domain of "Attending and Completing Tasks"; SSR 09-5p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability — "Interacting and Relating with Others"; SSR 09-7p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability — The Functional Equivalence Domain of "Caring for Yourself"; SSR 09-8p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability — The Functional Equivalence Domain of "Health and Physical Well-Being"; SSR 98-1p, Title XVI: Determining Medical Equivalence in Childhood Disability Claims When a Child Has Marked Limitations in Cognition and Speech; and Program Operations Manual System (POMS) DI 25225.030, DI 25225.035, DI 25225.040, DI 25225.045, DI 25225.050, and DI 25225.055.
[1] The definition of disability in section 1614(a)(3)(C) of the Social Security Act (the Act) applies to any "individual" who has not attained age 18. In this SSR, we use the word "child" to refer to any such person, regardless of whether the person is considered a "child" for purposes of the SSI program under section 1614(c) of the Act.
[2] For simplicity, we refer in this SSR only to initial claims for benefits. However, the policy interpretations in this SSR also apply to continuing disability reviews of children under section 1614(a)(4) of the Act and 20 CFR 416.994a.
[3] We use the term "impairment(s)" in this SSR to refer to an "impairment or a combination of impairments."
[4]The impairment(s) must also satisfy the duration requirement in section 1614(a)(3)(A) of the Act; that is, it must be expected to result in death, or must have lasted or be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
[5] For each major body system, the listings describe impairments we consider severe enough to cause "marked and severe functional limitations." 20 CFR 416.925(a); 20 CFR part 404, subpart P, appendix 1.
[6] See SSR 09-1p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability Under the Functional Equivalence Rule – The "Whole Child" Approach.
[7] However, some children have chronic physical or mental impairments that are characterized by episodes of exacerbation (worsening) and remission (improvement); therefore, their level of functioning may vary considerably over time. To properly evaluate the severity of a child's limitations in functioning, as described in the following paragraphs, we must consider any variations in the child's level of functioning to determine the impact of the chronic illness on the child's ability to function longitudinally; that is, over time. For more information about how we evaluate the severity of a child's limitations, see SSR 09-1p. For a comprehensive discussion of how we document a child's functioning, including evidentiary sources, see SSR 09-2p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability – Documenting a Child's Impairment-Related Limitations.
[8] For the first five domains, we describe typical development and functioning using five age categories: Newborns and young infants (birth to attainment of age 1); older infants and toddlers (age 1 to attainment of age 3); preschool children (age 3 to attainment of age 6); school-age children (age 6 to attainment of age 12); and adolescents (age 12 to attainment of age 18). We do not use age categories in the sixth domain because that domain does not address typical development and functioning, as we explain in SSR 09-8p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability – The Functional Equivalence Domain of "Health and Physical Well-Being."
[9] See 20 CFR 416.926a(e) for definitions of the terms "marked" and "extreme."
[10] For more information about the domain of "Health and physical well-being," see SSR 09-8p, Title XVI: Determining Childhood Disability: The Functional Equivalence Domain of "Health and Physical Well-Being."
[11] Further, a child may also have social difficulties because of a device used for treatment or assistance in functioning, such as a prosthesis for a missing limb or other adaptive equipment, that results in social stigma.
[12] For more information about how we rate limitations, including their interactive and cumulative effects, see SSR 09-1p.
[13] See 20 CFR 416.924b.

Peeping Tom spotted
Reports of a Peeping Tom in Mangatapu have police warning people to be aware of what is outside their window.
Tauranga police Senior Sergeant Cam Anderson said police were called to an incident on Te Hono St last night.
A man who was of a stocky build and wearing a red checkered shirt was seen peeping in a bedroom window and "may have been doing other things while looking in", Mr Anderson said.
"We want people to be aware of what's outside ther window when they are undressing or changing and call police straight away if they see anything or anyone outside their window."
He said it was the first report of this type of offending in quite some time.
"We want to keep the public aware of it and nip it in the bud before we see any more."

Rate This Recipe"We enjoyed this very much.Did make some adjustments, however. I scaled the recipe to four servings and it made quite a bit; enough for 6 people. A couple of the reviews mentionned dryness so I cooked..." See more the noodles first. No problem with moisture. Instead of whole wheat bread, I used polish rye. I used the food processor since it is a hard bread and this worked well. I melted 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and then added the crumbs until butter was absorbed. I think the adjustments made a creamier, more flavorful dish."
"This was absolutely delicious! It tasted just like a reuben sandwich. I had extra kielbasa, so I also increased the noodle amount slightly and added about 2 heaping tablespoons of sour cream to the so..." See moreup/milk mixture. Warm, creamy and very comforting. I'll make it again for sure."

Also i would apreciate if screenies of my chat on global werent taken all the time, i feel it is creepy and weird. Cheers!

Have to disagree here, daily-stats is great for many reasons, but the main one in my opinion is having a goal; trying to reach the top 10 or whatever. It's seeing the effort you've put in, in statistics, rather than just a headache and a bad sleeping pattern.
Maybe that seems egotistical or something, I dunno, but I like seeing how much I've earned and rating etc.

Let me guess!
A new map? xD
Jul 16 2012 06:27 PM #459
lol actually they didnt give much away, but theres a dev diary coming out from someone i have never heard of.
To be honest you know the score, freeps will get a lot of stuff and we will get another tree and bird, or maybe a token 1k reaver bubble with a 55 min cd and it only works off a defeat response."I'm in awe of peoples stupidity and the Hypocrisy they show."

Surely its about the new keep capture mechanics. I assume they will get rid of the "ninja capture" and at least try and get rid of "keep hugging" and the "going to capture keeps with no creeps/freeps in them just because they are facerolling us somewhere else". Maybe even give more points for each kill.
Bla bla bla signature fail bla bla.

My guess would be, based on what they've said previously about PvMP:
- Keep capturing mechanics
- Audacity (new season people = new grind)
- Focus on PvP instead of PvE (again)
- Commendations (probably a raise in cap and/or price adjustment... though the latter is probably wishful thinking)

I heard a rumour that creep dps will be increased by a whole 15% of what it is now, which will make all the difference

and how much will freep dps increase 74 > 85? RoI was close to 400%, but since we've got no statcaps now it's not gonna be that high... i hope.
Jul 17 2012 08:35 AM #465
It depends on how much focus there will be on mounted combat when leveling, grouping & raiding. If that is all going to be mounted combat they will do little to change stats. If it is primarily regular combat they will probally redo the DR on stats, armor, etc. and increase dps and healing as a result.
The good thing is that the new pve set will not be top tier as there is no instances.
Jul 17 2012 09:50 AM #466
which in turn screws PvE players over. Seems they hav a really hard time getting thigns right on Turbine. Still, the dev diary will be interesting. Wonder if they'll fix the bug where you get killed by friendly NPCs

Big changes, very big. Hope that the fact that flipping keeps and OP gives no imediate bonus unless PvP is done work against PvE-ers and huggers.
How it could work against huggers: if one side hugs a keep a group from other side goes take all OP, relic to maybe some keeps. Bonuses alone should allow the side willing to fight to just barge in and kill the huggers. Hugging = no bonuses.
How it could work FOR PvE fans: in the morning PvE zerg fest groups (yes yes there are NO SUCH THINGS whatsoever) just get all bonuses then go camp grams/GY (creeps still need to quest for first ranks). Then they bail. Creeps get numbers flip all get all bonuses and zerg the freeps until they get enough numbers. Then and just then normal fights can begin.
I have suggested a message appears on screen when a keep is under attack. Like a call to protect. A call to PvP so to speak.
Else i dont know how the creep buffing up will affect our server. We have a BIG creep population and our freep population is....whats the word?...moody....doesnt come to ettens unless strict conditions are met.....well wait and see.

EC goes to Lug cyrcle gy and OC to TR cyrcle gy.
Forget EC-OC mode, too far from Graveyards..
''Each outpost your side controls provide everyone on your side an Ettenmoors wide, stacking Physical/Tactical Mastery buff (~10% boost per outpost).''
So I think many battles will take place around outposts..
South and west bridge control will be to the side that owns TA so it would be more difficult to take the keep.
Generally i think that the claim and the defence of the keeps will take major place in pvp game, something that already happens on our server without any special rewards..
I m afraid that we ll have the game of the ''cat and the mouse'' between the outposts..Last edited by jivius; Jul 19 2012 at 05:19 PM.

I agree.. You ll need many people to control so many keeps.. I believe that both sides need to have maps in this type of game..

Guys I need your help. Should I spend more commendations on this current armour sets or should I save them for the future ones ?
Ty in advance
P.S. I know this isnt the freep thread but I wanted to know the Withy freeps opinion.Patruxe Lvl.85 R.9 Captain / Gulupet R.8 Warg / Gulugol R.7 Warleader / Violador R.7 BA
Jul 20 2012 07:54 AM #473Vendors in Glam Vraig are also offering a trade-in program! Each of the current pieces of armour can be traded in for a 10% commendation discount toward the upgraded version.
Jul 20 2012 08:51 AM #474
Depends on how much you have right now and how much you will gain. How active you are now and how active you'll be. If you're at 10k commies and will easily gain another 10k before the expansion you might aswell spend them now. You gain audacity and will be capped at launch anyway.
Jul 20 2012 08:54 AM #475
Depends on how much you play,and what your daily income on commendations is atm.
If you make 2-3k commendations a day and play daily then go ahead spend it ^.^ by the time it will be released you will have them again.
And unless i overlooked something the cap of commendations stays 10k for now... So saving isnt really gonna work very well.. once you reach 10k you better spend them,else every single earned commendation goes to waste... and 10k will be 1-2 pieces of gear...
If you barely play and have a hard time earning commendations,save them and get 1 or 2 pieces when they come out.
As for the "changes" to the Moors and creep class updates etc... We will see. Its silly to shout OP,too strong,bad.. right now,we dont even know what freeps get I did expect a bit more changes for defilers and warleaders,but they might get updates sometime after the RoR hits.
All in all,they want to have less PvE in the Moors,but make PvE things give HUGE,really almost must have, buffs moors wide... Am i the only one that finds that funny and weird at the same time?
Do they really think ppl will fight for those Keeps,and NPC Bosses to get the buff? Cant immagine it tbh.
And for withy i expect folllowing scenario : Side A comes in masses,flips keeps,OPs,and kills Bosses while Side B has only few and cant defend or do anything against it.. Side B then gets more Numbers and would like to PvP,but they cant cause all the Buffs Side A aquired with PvE will make PvP an autowin... Side B then is forced to Fight the already stronger Side A due to buffs,inside an Objective that Side B needs to capture to regain chances... Not gonna promote pvp in my eyes... Just finnally gives an excuse to Hug,and drives ppl away that dont want,or cant fight against a buffed enemy Army + NPCs...
Imo,This is a change that makes the strong winning side win even more... instead of balancing.. Avoid fights due to buffed enemys,try to capture Objectives... Like Haras said a cat and mouse game...

I don't agree with it becoming more PvE. The way I see it the line between PvE and PvMP is getting blurred.
Currently PvE has no other effect then give you a way to rank up while avoiding PvMP.
Right now when I dont want to join the main raid I can either follow them around, roam the map searching for an unlucky questing creep or quest myself. And even the raid vs raid battles are more often then not a trenchwar.
With the new system taking control points has such an impact that the other side is forced to defend these, thus taking the PvMP fights to these locations with a more logic reason to engage combat then just for the sake of it.
now if the outposts stay about the same difficulty they are now this means there is an important role for smaller fellowships operating outside a main raid, since the outposts give such an important advantage.
This will give alot of choices:
Will you focus your forces in one strong raid and risk not controlling all outposts?
Will you split your forces to take outposts and get stronger but spread out?
When is the time right to group up and make a go for a keep?
Is it worth controlling the underground passages for fast manouvring around the map?
Where will the enemy most likely strike and can we prevent it?
as for imbalanced sides:
1) the dominant force will have to spread out if they want to keep control of vantage points, while the underdog can fight a focused guerrilla-war.
2) up to 3 trolls/rangers will be available to the underdog.
so if the underdog can outsmart their foe the tables are easily turned.
I can see a very interesting battlefield in the future with room for raids/fellowships/small fellowships where creative players will thrive. Goodbye trenchwar, hello modern warfare!

I think it will be just too hard for anyone to rank a defilier or a warleader without infamy from quests, especially from r0 to r5.
Oh and there will be no pvp as there is no now.
If freeps will control OPs creeps wont fight, if creeps control OPs freeps wont fight, it will just get worse.

Trinidad Scorpion Peppers
The yellow Trinidad Scorpion pepper is a recently discovered strain of the rare Trinidad Scorpion pepper. Native to Trinidad, the rare yellow Trinidad scorpion pepper shares a similar pebbly surface and searing heat with the bhut jolokia and naga morich; however, it is typically distinguishable by its thin, irregular shape, slightly fruity citrus flavor, and—perhaps most notably—distinctive tail. The Trinidad Scorpion pepper, which ripens from green to orange to red, is rumored to be even hotter than the bhut jolokia, which currently holds the title of world's hottest chile pepper. The people of Trinidad also use the yellow Trinidad scorpion pepper in military-grade tear gas, as well as marine paint to prevent barnacles.

This season Prostate Cancer UK is the official charity of The Football League. To celebrate, we've asked bloggers from each of the 72 clubs to count down their top five strikers to have worn the No9 shirt, in recognition of the fact that prostate cancer affects one in nine men.
Here blogger Mark, of 9-men.co.uk, selects Dagenham's five best No9s… and one to forget!
5. Tony Rogers (1996-97) This selection is certain to polarise opinion. Tony was signed upon our relegation to the Isthmian League as Ted Hardy put together a scratch side which somehow reached the FA Trophy final. He managed just seven goals but always provided an outlet and a platform for his strike partner. A red card at Wembley only gave ammunition to his detractors, but his role in getting us there cannot be underestimated.
4. Tresor Kandol (2005) TK may have managed just 14 games in a Daggers shirt, but he is still fondly remembered for his goalscoring exploits. With his bleached hair and trademark somersault after each of his eight goals he certainly grabbed the limelight, and it was no surprise when he was sold to Barnet for £50,000. Rumours that he may return after his release from Albacete unfortunately proved unfounded.
3. Jon Nurse (2007-12) It is fair to say Nursey didn't have the best of times in his first season with the club, scoring a solitary goal in his 30 league matches. However, he became part of the furniture over the course of his five-year spell, playing in a variety of positions and always with a smile on his face. He will go down in history for scoring the winner at Wembley to send us into League One for the first time.
2. Paul Cavell (1992-94) One of the most talented players to pull on a Dagenham shirt, Cav was originally a Redbridge Forest player before the merger with Dagenham in 1992. He won a share of the Conference top scorer award while with Redbridge, and followed it up with 34 goals in the new club's debut season. Injury problems prevented him adding many more to the tally before he moved on to Gateshead.
1. Danny Shipp (1997-2004) Previous loan spells had given us an inkling of Danny's ability, but he rammed the point home with a screamer against Peterborough in the FA Cup just days after rejoining the club. He never looked back, becoming the club's top scorer of all time with 102 goals despite being converted to a midfielder later in his career.
And the worst... Stuart Douglas (2004-05) When John Taylor's retirement due to injury left us without a No9, Stuart Douglas arrived on a free transfer in November 2004 and was thrown into the side for an FA Cup tie at Leyton Orient. After missing a sitter and being hauled off in a pretty dismal performance, a handful of sub appearances followed before he was rather quietly moved on.

Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson will soon leave the company after it was found he padded his resume with an embellished college degree, two news reports said Sunday.
Tech blog AllThingsD was the first to report the news, and the New York Times followed up with an article saying Yahoo could make an announcement as soon as Monday. Both articles cited unnamed sources close to the company.
An official Yahoo spokesperson did not immediately reply to a request for comment. And a senior Yahoo executive couldn't confirm the reports, telling CNN's Dan Simon that employees haven't received any internal information about Thompson leaving.
Yahoo media chief Ross Levinsohn will be named interim CEO, according to the Times. Levinsohn had earlier been rumored as a successor to Carol Bartz, who was fired from Yahoo by phone in September. Instead, Thompson took the CEO role in January.
Thompson's resume scandal ignited just over a week ago, when activist shareholder group Third Point alleged that Thompson lied about details of his college degree.
Dan Loeb, the CEO of Third Point, has a long history of launching proxy fights -- and Yahoo is the latest company in his crosshairs. Third Point owns about 5.6% of Yahoo, and is the largest outside shareholder. In February, Third Point filed paperwork proposing four new Yahoo board members, including Loeb himself.
Now that the scandal has erupted, both AllThingsD and the Times said, Yahoo is now near a deal with Loeb to end the proxy fight and elect some of Third Point's proposed directors to the board.
But originally, Yahoo didn't want to play ball. Third Point, which also did not immediately reply to a request for comment Sunday, scored a coup by finding Thompson's padded resume.
False statements: Thompson's published Yahoo bios -- including the one in the company's latest annual report, a legal document that CEOs must personally swear are truthful -- have claimed that he holds a bachelor's degree in both accounting and computer science from Stonehill College. His degree is actually in accounting only.
Yahoo called the mistake an "inadvertent error." The board said this week that it had hired outside counsel to conduct a review of the false statement. Soon after, the director who led Yahoo's CEO search committee, Patti Hart, announced that she would step down at the end of her current term.

What is the difference between Prime Rib and a Standing Rib Roast? (and a "rib eye roast" while you're at it)
Tell me more
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for
professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Prime rib can be either a steak sliced from the roast or the entire roast. In other words, it isn't a precise term. The standing rib roast is more precise. You can get more than one prime rib steak from the standing rib roast. The standing rib roast must have come from at least 2 of the ribs. A rib eye roast is a standing rib roast with the ribs removed. The prime rib (standing rib roast or steak cut from that area) is actually not required to be USDA prime beef. |

Since I need to get quite a few tropical seedlings out of here before cold weather sets in, I'm going to divide them up into a couple boxes--about a dozen plants per box as follows. (Though I can rearrange what is in each box.) From what I've read, the albizia may actually be hardy to zone 5, but the other plants aren't. Most are from three to five inches tall, with a few larger and a few smaller.

Last time in A Beginner DJ's Guide To Monitors, Part 1: Choosing Your Speakers we talked through the options available to you and how to make sure you choose a speaker system that's suitable for your needs.
This time, we'll look at little tricks for setting your speakers up, and some common pitfalls to avoid, before we add the final piece to the jigsaw in part 3, when we'll consider how to set up the room itself.
The aim of positioning (that means your speakers, your desk and your DJ gear), is so that when you're musically "in the zone", doing your thing, you're also physically in the right place – in the "sweet spot" where you get the best possible sound and stereo imagery from your speakers.
Why? Because it's here that you're hearing the sound as true to how it should be as possible. You're likely to mix better, EQ better, and produce better results when recording your work if you're monitoring it from the best physical position.
Five tricks to positioning speakers
- Put them in an equilateral triangle with your head – Imagine a triangle, with the speakers at two of the three points, and your head at the third. That's how the speakers should be set up, with them pointing diectly at the third point, ie your head
- Make sure the tweeters are level with your ears – The high frequencies that the tweeters produce are the most directional of all, and so it's imperative that you get the "full force" of them. One trick here is to put wedges under the speakers to point them up at your head, should they be on a desk and too low down. This reduces one downside of not being able to…
- Put your speakers on stands – Part of what we're trying to achieve here is as little bouncing of the soundwaves off objects before they reach your ears as possible. Putting them on stands usually helps with this immensely. Otherwise, if they're on a desk, the desk surface will bounce the signal to your ears, colouring what you hear
- Try and keep them away from walls and corners – Leave a couple of feet if you can between the speakers and the wall (not always possible; we can't do it here at Digital DJ Tips, for intance). And try and make sure that if the speakers are near a corner, the distance between both walls and the speaker is different. Again, we're trying to prevent excessive "bouncing" of sound
- Put the subwoofer half-way between the two main speakers, pointing at you – Subwoofers don't need anywhere near as careful positioning as your main speakers because bass is not very directional (that's why you only have one sub-woofer), so if you can't do this don't fret too much. Indeed, one trick that I've never tried but that I read in an M-Audio speaker guide once is to put your subwoofer on your chair with a bassy track going, then crawl around your room on the floor. Where you hear the bass loudest is where you should put your subwoofer!
Of course, it goes without saying that you shouldn't have anything obstructing the line between you and your speakers.
You won't be able to do all of the above in all circumstances, and so you'll have to make compromises. The important thing is to trust your ears, preferably using as tune you know well to test as you make adjustments. Next time: Room acoustics…
How much of the above have you managed to achieve in your own personal home practice studio? How do you find it best to set up your speakers for accurate mixing and monitoring? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

In today's interview Mark speaks with John Hanley a veteran of some 50 years' in the betting game, and who runs the successful Tipster website www.transworldhrc.com
So John, why be a layer?
Well Mark, I became a layer to give an extra dimension to our new company of some 18 months ago (Transworld).
I have no real preference for laying as such but on the basis that in an 8 horse race 'only 1 can win and 7 will lose' it is obviously easier to select losers! Of course as you and your readers know, it is not quite as simple as that but it has proved to be somewhat easier to create long runs of lay bets that actually win money than it is to find long runs of profitable winners.
My method of winner finding has become flawed in the traditional 'back to win' sense. I have always used early morning odds reductions to select winners as over the years it has proved that the really early movement is from connections rather than the general betting public and the percentage of winning tips was always around 75%.
The reason this method has become flawed is that with ATR(Attheraces), Racing Channel, Betfair etc giving out these movements those bookie chaps are now able to throw in "ringers" which has resulted in the winning percentage dropping to below 25%.
I am in the process of using other methods of selecting winners which is proving quite successful based on various scenarios that I can use from a lifetime of studying horse racing form. It will mean that there will only be a maximum of 2 bets per week, but my trials over the last 6 weeks have indicated a 45% winning percentage and the average odds are 9/2 – so watch this space.
Do you remember your first lay?
I became interested in horse racing some 50 years ago and have gambled ever since. I started using betting exchanges around 2 years ago when I was trailing the lay system for our company. I do believe they have changed the gambling habits forever and for the better and given punters such as myself a new found revenue stream, to do something with a sport that I have a huge interest in.
So tell my John, what was your Best Lay?
My best recent lay was New Approach in the 2000 guineas.
And your Worst?
My worst recent lay was New Approach in the Derby also Authorized in last years Derby. [Mark] – Ouch!
Would you Lay anything?
I am only interested in horse racing at present and it is important in any game or walk of life to specialize, as this gives you the advantage.
What is your Golden rule of laying?
My golden rules are the horse must drift in the market preferably early in the morning and I never lay a horse over 5.0 as it can break the bank.
And finally, have you any advice for Donkeyites?
Keep reading this column! No seriously watch the market, learn and keep learning and remember there are no shortcuts to getting rich, although Don I may just start following your Lay advices!
[Mark] – Thanks John and we wish you another 50 successful years of punting.

This week on "The Bachelorette," Emily and her eight remaining suitors jetted from London to Dubrovnik, Croatia – a quaint, cobblestone-covered city whose charms put Emily in the mood for love. Her men were equally eager to ramp up the romance, especially as it was Emily's first week without her daughter Ricki in tow. Emily went into the episode admitting that she's still clueless about some of her connections, but excited to dig deeper.
Date # 1 – Travis Gets Friend-Zoned
Travis was chosen for the week's first one-on-one date, saving him from continued exasperation about his lack of private time with Emily. He also had a daunting task ahead of him: overcome his awkward first impression as the guy who brought an ostrich egg named Shelly to the show, representative of his relationship with the Bachelorette. Travis' chemistry with Emily was painfully lacking, despite their common Southern roots and his fervent desire to "bust out of the friend zone." Emily's eyes grew wide in alarm when he revealed over a candlelit dinner that he hasn't dated since his failed engagement – two long years ago. He oozed sincerity and sweetness, and actually licked his lips when Emily picked up the rose. Alas, the puppy-dog eyes weren't enough to save him, and she sent him straight home.
Date # 2 – Benevolence Over Brawn
The second date of the week consisted of every suitor but Ryan – which made Ryan the de-facto recipient of the coveted second one-one-date. The other men, disgruntled and resentful, attended a preview screening of the Pixar movie "Brave" with Emily in an otherwise empty theater. Emily brought the Scottish "Brave" theme along for the second part of the date, and the men were tasked with competing in their own version of the Highland Games (despite being nowhere near Scotland). The men donned kilts (or skirts, as they referred to them) and rode donkeys into the mock battle. Chris failed completely at all of the three tasks – archery, log throwing, and tug-of-war with a stick. He was comically appalling, but had such a great attitude about it that Emily awarded him the Bravery Prize at the end of the competition, along with some private time and a few kisses. The rest of the men became even more miffed, especially athletic Sean, who had won both the log throwing and stick-tugging competitions. But Emily stuck firm to her decision to award good behavior over physical prowess. "I don't care about big muscles," she insisted.
On the dinner portion of the date, Emily singled out each of the men for a conversation – and made sure to personally soothe Sean's hurt feelings. Arie pulled her aside to apologize for the controversy over Kalon last week, and Emily rewarded him with a sexy kiss. Jef, whose strong feelings for Emily seem genuine, told her "You give me the type of feeling people write novels about." She seemed appreciative, but also chided him for taking so long to kiss her. This woman is not shy about locking lips.
Bravery Prize-winner Chris came on strong once he got Emily alone, and the words "love" and "forever" were flying thick and fast. Emily was into it, and awarded him the date's rose, telling him, "You are one of the kindest, sweetest, handsomest men I've ever met." Never has failing at athletics gotten a man so far.
Date # 3 – Everybody Hates Ryan
All of Emily's suitors were unified in their hatred of Ryan – a muscled, manipulative personal trainer who spends more time preparing for a date than all of them combined. Emily also had serious doubts about him, and it wasn't hard to see why – the guy is conceited, possessive, and entirely fixated on making Emily his "trophy." Nevertheless, she seemed to be enjoying most of their road trip together, and called him "playful" and "funny."
Despite his self-proclaimed aptitude at seducing women, Ryan kept striking out with Emily by bringing up his desire for a "trophy wife." He made her uncomfortable again by pulling out a list of qualities that he wants in a partner, most of which had to do with submission or physical appearance, and one of which was actually "a servant." Emily finally told him that she wouldn't be giving him a rose because she doesn't want to fit into somebody's mold, but astoundingly, she was wavering on the decision. Ryan sniffed out her hesitation and tried to get her to change her mind in a calculating, controlling, and frankly frightening way. Thankfully, Emily stuck to her guns and sent him home – but unfortunately, blamed the decision on her own insecurities instead of properly kicking him to the curb.
The men back at the house rejoiced to see Ryan's bag get collected, and Arie took the opportunity to sneak out of the house and into Emily's bed, where he cuddled with her and told her that he was proud of her judgment. He left her room reeling with emotion. "I am definitely in love," he said.
The Cocktail Party – Oh, Happy Day
With unusual frankness, Emily kicked off the cocktail party by admitting to the cameras that John and Doug, both quiet types who haven't gotten a lot of airtime, were on her mental chopping block. In last-ditch efforts to win her heart, both of the baleful bachelors managed to change her mind with touching emotional appeals. John tearfully told Emily about his deceased grandparents, who had had a "great love," and Doug opened up about being shy.
After passing out all but the last rose, Emily dissolved into uncertainty and fled the room, seeking out Chris Harrison and pouring out her heart to him. She relinquished her final rose to him and returned to the cocktail party, and it looked like she was going to eliminate both Doug and John – until Chris Harrison returned, with two roses on a platter! Both Doug and John get to stay another week, and there were good feelings all around. Except for Travis and Ryan, of course.
Next week, Emily will take her men to Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The preview reveals a whole lot of kissing and one suspenseful scandal – will Arie's exposed relationship with a Bachelorette producer get him sent home?

x10 REST interface
Table of Contents
What is uREST?
uREST is a REST style interface for the HEYU X10 application. Now you can write your own remote control app using a simple Webased API, or just use the api directly to control all your X10 gear.
uREST "translates" the URI into heyu command line arguments. For example, the heyu command "heyu alloff a" would be "https://[your sever]:8443/alloff/a".
uREST requires that you already have a working HEYU installation (don't worry, it's simple).

Our editors spend some time roaming the web looking for stuff cattle people and others in agriculture might find useful or entertaining.
How to get out of the cattle business (A)Go check the electric fence with your tongue (B)Read this (C)Read this (D) Do the math
Does HSUS have a mole in the IRS?
That Zombie farm bill Give credit to this Grist writer for recognizing the "walking undead" nature of the farm bills that recently worked their way out of committees in Congress. Speaking of zombie legislation, the immigration reform bill is still wiggling, too
CBS News: Immigration Deal Reached in House ABC News: Immigration Reform Stand Do we need—as in "need"-- national standards for chicken care? Why we believe climate change is so biased Headlines that are funny if you read them aloud to a 5th grader:
Fox News: Scientists Study Violent Winds of Uranus, Neptune COOL Poll shows consumer support a mile wide; of unknown depth Hey. That sounds like us cow people
NBC News: How to Tell if the IRS is Eyeing You Free advice on naming BBQ events: Avoid the word "pony." Mama of the year Anaplasmosis. Learn it. Live it.
A nice story about a ranch family we can all envy
The general media didn't much notice the Senate farm bill Monday, but Tuesday's House farm bill had a shiny object: More restrictions on food stamps. So, it gets more coverage. This story is not, of course, over. Not even close. The Senate passed a farm bill way back last year, but the House rejected it. These guys don't always agree with each other.
If Obamacare makes you sick
You might want to spend the 1.5 hours--yes, 1.5 hours--watching this video about how employers can live with upcoming changes in health care requirements. Expect to be in a bad mood later.

Bad idea: Making your friends play vegan
Grist has a lady trying to get her friends to stay vegan for a month. Turns out it's more hard than fun
Good idea: A hamburger eating club
This bunch of folks makes a regular event out of looking for better hamburgers. Let's all join clubs like that.
Bobby calves in Australia
Dairy calves aren't worth much in Australia. And it's always fun to see how Australians talk.
JBS is doing fine
Tyson: Lower beef demand
The company plans to do more product innovation, but says high chicken feed prices, reduced beef demand and a supply-demand imbalance in pork are impacting profits.
A job we may not want
Here's a look at the bottom rung of the chicken business
You've got to go looking if you want to read about the Senate Ag Committee's new farm bill. None of the major papers have anything out front this morning. Too much news on Angela Jolie to waste space on an object so unshiny, we suppose. You can read what Official Cowdom thinks of this dough from which Congress will eventually knead a policy that will impact all of agriculture--including the eating segment--for the foreseeable future here.
Preach to the mirror. Please It's seldom that we'd recommend the New York Time's beefaphobic columnist Ken Bittman to anybody seeking advice, but we hope he read his own column this morning. He begins by warning against snap judgments based on intuition and incomplete evidence and, without taking back any of his anti-beef crusade, actually says that even sugar has its place. That's good. That's true. It's like he's preaching to his scare-mongering ownself there for a minute. But then, darned if he doesn't turn around and do it again. This time on Monsanto and the dreaded "superweeds." They aren't "superweeds." They are resistant to Roundup. They still die if you plow them or hoe them, just like they did before Roundup. And the ground behind the plow still washes away or blows away, just like it did before Roundup made reduced tillage workable. Oops. "Scientific consensus" does another U-turn Now they tell us to take even their salt advice with a grain of salt. USDA puts our money where its mouth is Well, we suppose that headline could be construed as negative, but it shouldn't be. The government in general needs to spend less time talking about climate change and more time getting ready for it. McDonald's new burgers. With beef this time. Talk about your encouraging news. McDonald's has some new products that actually involve hamburger.
Beer fed cows We've no idea how beer affects beef flavor, but this idea strikes us as important in at least two ways. The animal rights groups can hardly complain about "unhappy cows" if you keep them drunk and mellow. And, this would make the cow farmer's beer deductible, wouldn't it? NBC notices wild horses again We all know what fine medicine for low ratings the government's mustang roundups are, and NBC News has been giving us a good dose this week. You've got to love it when you get these debates between celebrities-who-feel-something and experts-who-know-something.
John Deere's quick outlook Just a set of slides, but it says it all Secretary Vilsack likes organic farming Go vegan or go home? That's a choice? Department of Very Practical Ideas: Let's all surround our cows with red ribbons! A main stream reporter we might like. He says "Ever since then, steak has been at the top of the list of what Americans eat when they go out to celebrate." Well, yes.
So we're all bulled up about the ever-pending end of the liquidation phase, which just HAS to happen soon, and it turns out we're still killing cows. Faster than even the last couple of years, which were themselves extraordinarily dangerous for mama bovines in the drought belt. The Drs Tom Troxel and Michael L. Looper of the University of Arkansas take a few paragraphs to marvel about it. Tennessee governor: no to ag gagging Bill Haslam vetoed the ag gag law passed by the Volunteer state's legislature, suggesting he empathizes with the intent, but frets about the constitutionality and the impact on freedom of speech.
Good press for electronic cattle management We ran onto a couple of interesting pieces on the promise--as in "not here yet, but worth following"--of using Smart Guy Stuff to manage cattle. Virtual fencing, health management, feed intake. That kind of stuff. Dean anderson is always a great interview and The Atlantic took him aside for a long interview on his electronic cattle management researchers at the Jornada station in Southwest New Mexico. He's got some awful handy stuff coming if the manufacturers ever catch up. Are you listening, AllFlex? The BBC has some information on how electronics are impacting thing on the wrong side of the Atlantic. The reason to read this silliness about eating dogs
"Choose vegetarian" transit ads compare eating cows to eating dogs is to get to the comments, wherein one fellow advises us: "I love dogs because they ALWAYS greet me with a friendly yelp and a wagging tail. Unlike my wife who almost always greets me with an unfriendly yelp and won't let me near her tail - except when she is in the mood. So yeah, I love dogs because they are great companions - and I eat cows because they taste good. Dogs make terrible bar-b-que and cows are lousy at playing fetch." COOL. Lots of discourse
Deadline looms on the mandatory Cool thing. Will USDA stand by its original plan? Will it suit the WTO? Will Congress change the ground rules anyhow? There are lots of opinions:
Next volley over meat labels due soon NFU: 2013 Farm Bill gaining momentum Meat packers say Obama administration labeling rules will cripple industry Labeling we can support Another story on USDA's lax oversight of needled beef cuts. More about immigration Most of the papers would rather talk about the sundry Obama scandals of the week, but immigration "reform" continues to get some attention. We're not talking to you, of course, but just on the off chance some of our other readers happen to be lax with the guns around the house, we include this piece about a father being charged. You read it here first: Gun safety is about to become gun control advocates' equivalent of the MADD campaign against drunk driving.
Another zinger comment on this story about Whole Foods putting chicken in their vegan salad.: "How do you know someone is a vegan? Don't worry, they'll be sure to tell you." That's too true for comfort. Veganism is the Fad of the Day. NCBA is on this long list of organizations opposing dairy's supply management plans.
We learned it in England. Here's a nice piece about why we like steak so much in the U.S. Pitts on equestrian one-up-manship Finally, you'll want to look in on Lee Pitts' take on the importance of proper horsemanship.
Three Fifty Corn? Thuree Five Zero! All the angst about delayed planting may mean less corn than we'd like, but USDA still thinks we'll get more than enough. Last week's WASDE report cut its yield projections from its last guess, but still projects plenty of corn. It was enough that Jerry Gulke used the $3.50 number in his outlook for new crop corn prices. He says it will take $3.50 to $4 corn to "buy back demand." Wouldn't that be nice for feeder prices?
CO2 hits dinosaurian levels
The big news last week was that carbon dioxide levels have reached the highest point in 300 million years. That's serious stuff on the global warming front, and it provided lots of scary fodder for the press.
Eat more bugs. No. Seriously.
Who says we can't feed the teeming billions of the future? The UN says we just need to eat more insects and they say industrial agriculture is just the outfit to develop the production systems. (Once we work the bugs out, of course.)
So if eating arthropods is good for the world, that must make this French chef and his crickets not so much eccentric as avant garde, we suppose
We know this constitutes a potential competitor for beef, but we remain confident that, well, bugs ain't beef. They eat horses in France and the Peruvians like the occasional guinea pig. But they all prefer beef. We suspect the same will be true long after the New York Times' food critics have declared dung bettle soufflé the wave of the future.

It is understandable that members of United Food and Commercial Workers want to protect the benefits their union has negotiated in a sector of the economy that is becoming dominated by nonunion grocery chains.
That's why 5,000 employees walked off the job earlier this month at Raley's and its Nob Hill Foods subsidiary, largely because the West Sacramento-based company says it is no longer able to cover health benefits for retirees eligible for Medicare.
Yet as this strike continues into its second week, UFCW members and leaders need to ask themselves some hard questions: Is it realistic to expect Raley's, a valley business that has lost market share to Wal-Mart and other non-unionized chains, to keep providing a benefit that few employers offer any more? And if an extended strike causes Raley's to slip further, doesn't that play into the hands of its non-unionized competition? Will that really help the cause of preserving grocery jobs as a middle-class occupation?

Sam Raimi Talks WORLD OF WARCRAFT Movie on the Red Carpet at the Saturn Awards
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted: June 25th, 2010 at 12:11 am
At tonight's Saturn Awards here in Los Angeles I had the chance to talk to Sam Raimi on the red carpet. While he's been rumored to be doing Oz as his next project, when I spoke to him, all he wanted to talk about was World of Warcraft. From the way he spoke, the man is really into the game and it sounded like that's the project he really wants to do as his next film. I also asked him about the rumors that he could be directing The Hobbit. He seemed to think those were just online rumors and nothing more.
Since I have so much to post, for more info you should watch the interview after the jump. I've time indexed the entire interview so you can read the questions. For fans of the World of Warcraft game, make sure to watch his answer six minutes in. You'll love it. Also, make sure to check back for a ton of other red carpet interviews. I have so many it's crazy.
