2013 has come and gone but we still have a couple year-end posts to go. Greg Cristman shot a whole lot for us last year -- everything from metal to synthpop and all points in between -- and he picked his 25 favorites from '13 which are in this post.
You can also check out year-end photo faves from BV contributors Amanda Hatfield, David Andrako and Dominick Mastrangelo. More of Greg's pics picks are below...

John McVie at Jones Beach in June (more by Greg Cristman)
Some sad news from Fleetwood Mac: One of the two members who has remained in the band since the late '60s, John McVie, has been diagnosed with cancer. This has forced the band to cancel their Australian/New Zealand tour. A statement from the Fleetwood Mac's Facebook reads:
Fleetwood Mac who has just completed the European leg of their phenomenally successful worldwide tour has announced the cancellation of their upcoming 14 date tour of Australia and New Zealand.Earlier this year, their tour hit the NYC-area for shows at Madison Square Garden and Jones Beach.John McVie, one of the co founding and original members of Fleetwood Mac is now scheduled to be in treatment for cancer during that period of time.
"We are sorry to not be able to play these Australian and New Zealand dates. We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family all the best."
Best of luck to John on his treatment!

Fleetwood Mac @ Jones Beach - 6/22/13
Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood) have been on the road for the past couple months for their first full tour in a few years, which already hit MSG, and returned to the NYC-area for a show at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater on Saturday (6/22). The tour is in celebration of a lot of things. They're supporting a new EP (their first new material in ten years) and the 35th anniversary reissue of Rumours. And as Lindsey mentioned on stage, they're celebrating the fact that when you go against the music industry's formula (in Fleetwood Mac's case, when they released the "difficult" double album, Tusk, as the followup to Rumours), sometimes time can treat the artistic decision well.
The Jones Beach show was my first time seeing Fleetwood Mac, so I can't comment on how it compared to seeing them in their prime, but besides all the retrospective stuff they were talking about on stage, they seemed more like a band hungry to tour again than a nostalgia act. Lindsey is a wildly impressive guitarist to watch, and not only does he still have the stage presence, but he would often put so much into a song that by the end of it, he was panting, stomping the ground, and triumphantly throwing his fist in the air. He practically screamed all of "Not That Funny," pulled off an intricate solo-acoustic rendition of the usually multi-layered "Big Love," and stole the show with his song-ending guitar solo on "Go Your Own Way." Stevie is still great on stage too and her voice is commanding as ever. She had many show-stealing moments too, leading the crowd in sing-alongs with "Dreams," "Landslide," and one of her solo cuts, "Stand Back," but if I had to say, she was most in full force during "Silver Springs," the "Go Your Own Way" b-side that ended up on the new Rumours reissue.
Not only was this my first time at Jones Beach Theater in a long time, it was also my first time this year, which means it was my first time seeing the venue since it re-opened after being severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. (The only other two shows there this year so far were Rascal Flatts or Pitbull.) The brand new stage and boardwalk look great again, and Stevie mentioned on stage that they've got all new dressing rooms too. Mick also mentioned how happy he was to see the place back in good shape during the speech he gave at the end of the show. The next Jones Beach show is Rush tonight (6/23).

As mentioned, Nine Inch Nails are back with a new album, Hesitation Marks, which is due out on September 3 via Columbia. They've already released its first single, "Came Back Haunted" (which has a David Lynch-directed video on the way) and now they've revealed more details on the album, including its tracklist and full list of collaborators, via Rolling Stone. It does include King Crimson/Talking Heads/David Bowie/etc guitarist Adrian Belew (who is no longer part of the touring lineup), in addition to bassist Pino Palladino (The Who, D'Angelo), and most perhaps interestingly/surprisingly Lindsey Buckhingham of Fleetwood Mac. Check out the full tracklist and album credits below.
Nine Inch Nails are supporting the album with a tour that comes to the NYC-area for shows with Godspeed You! Black Emperor in Brooklyn on October 14 at Barclays Center and Newark on October 15 at Prudential Center. Tickets for both of those shows are still available.
Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac, whose new EP is out now, are also on a tour which hit MSG back in April and returns to the NYC-area this weekend for a show at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater on Saturday (6/22). Tickets for that show are still available, but Ticketmaster is saying "not many left."

Before and after: Nikon at Jones Beach Theater
As you surely remember, last October's Hurricane Sandy put a lot of things underwater. One of them was outdoor concert amphitheater Nikon at Jones Beach Theatre. Live Nation has been busy renovating ever since the water receeded:
Along with much of the coastal regions throughout New York and New Jersey, Superstorm Sandy inflicted catastrophic damage on the venue. Sandy generated a storm surge of 8--10 feet, and the ground floor, sub-structures and pathways under Jones Beach Theatre, which sits right on Zachs Bay, were submerged. Much of the 14,000 seat venue was impacted from the surge, from the stage to the seats, the backstage and concessions and VIP areas were all severely damaged.The renovated Nikon at Jones Beach Theater was finished just in time for the 2013 season that kicks off Friday (5/31) with...Rascal Flatts.
But before construction could even commence, more than 3 million gallons of sea water had to be pumped out of the venue, which then had to be cleaned from top to bottom. Hundreds of tons of debris and damaged structures and equipment had to be removed from the site...
...The stage and boardwalk and their substructures had to be completely rebuilt from scratch. More than 9 miles of special MCM cable had to be replaced in the tunnels and access ways below the venue. All the doors on the main level, more than 200 in total, had to be replaced. Where possible the venue's infrastructure was redesigned to mitigate any future damages (i.e. the main electrical system was relocated to the second floor, above the 100 year floodplain) and replacement appliances and equipment were upgraded to energy efficient models.
Concerts at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater that you might be more interested in include, Fleetwood Mac on June 22, Bob Dylan/Wilco/Beck on July 27, and Depeche Mode/Bat for Lashes on September 8. The outdoor venue's entire summer schedule is below.
Fleetwood Mac at MSG earlier this month (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
When Fleetwood Mac played Madison Square Garden, we mentioned that the new material they played would be coming out on a new EP this year. That EP, simply titled Extended Play, just came out and can be downloaded at iTunes.
Fleetwood Mac's tour brings them back to the NYC-area for a show on June 22 at Jones Beach. Tickets for that show are still available.
Watch them play the EP's opening track, "Sad Angel," at MSG below...

Stevie Nicks / Lindsey Buckingham
Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood) are back this year and are currently on an extensive tour that stopped in NYC for its first area show last night (4/8) at Madison Square Garden. They, not surprisingly, played more from Rumours than any other album, with huge hits like "Dreams," "Don't Stop," and "Go Your Own Way," in addition to some of its much-loved non-singles like "The Chain" and "Never Going Back Again." More interestingly, the album they tapped into second most was Rumours' "weird" followup Tusk, which has gained much of the credit it deserves over the years.
They also played a new song, "Sad Angel," which will appear on the band's new EP. Consequence of Sound points to a video of the band playing that song at their Philly show (4/6) where Lindsey said the EP would be out "in a few days." That video and the full setlist, pictures, and a video from the MSG show are in this post.
Fleetwood Mac's tour returns to the NYC area two more times this month for shows at Mohegan Sun on April 20 and Prudential Center on April 24, and after heading around the rest of the country, makes one more stop for their big outdoor show at Jones Beach on June 22. Tickets for all three of those shows are still available.
More pictures, setlist, and videos below...

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 2013 Fleetwood Mac train continues to grow, with new dates added to their previously announced US tour. Those new dates include Nikon at Jones Beach Theatre on June 22. Tickets go on sale February 1. The show is the third area date for the band, who will also take on MSG and Prudential Center in April (tickets). An updated tour schedule is listed below.
The shows are in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the band's landmark LP Rumors. Catch the super deluxe reissue due on January 29, and stream that classic LP in full below.

The members of UK dance duo Psychemagik, Danny McLewin and Tom Coveney, met six years ago at a music festival and after recording a track, "Valley of Paradise," the two decided they needed to make an album together. Psychemagik make the kind of disco synth-funk that we've heard from Daft Punk and Justice, and it's also the kind of thing that would feel at home on DFA Records. They've been spending the last few years dropping remixes left and right, including ones of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place" -- two songs that you could already make a case for throwing on at a party, but Psychemagik's remixes seal the deal without making them sound like that shitty "Somebody That I Used to Know" remix that you keep hearing on the radio.
In December, Psychemagik released their first EP of original material, Lunar Escape, which consisted of three songs written and produced entirely by the duo without any samples, and the only outside help coming from string arranger Richard Chester on one of the tracks. This year, they're finally set to release that full length album they've been talking about. You can stream all three EP tracks, the Fleetwood Mac and Talking Heads remixes, and that early recording, "Valley of Paradise," below.
Psychemagik are set to make their way over to the USA in February to support the Lunar Escape EP with a five-week long DJ tour. That tour hits NYC for a FIXED party on March 2 at Glasslands. Tickets for that show are on sale now. It's a late show at the Brooklyn venue which happens after The Night Marchers play an earlier one the same night.
Song streams, a list of all dates, and the tour flyer below...
Just a reminder that tickets to see Fleetwood Mac at Madison Square Garden (4/8/2013) and Prudential Center (4/24) go on sale today at 10 AM. Good luck!

Plus, there will also be a deluxe edition with everything in the expanded edition, in addition to another disc of outtakes and a DVD documentary about the album called The Rosebud Film.
In more related news, Stevie Nicks just told NME that she'd love to headline Glastonbury 2013:
When we were there [in the UK] in 2011, I watched it. I watched Beyonce and it was pretty amazing! I had just got home from the Hyde Park thing, so I was just home from my own show and I turned on the TV and we had a pretty big screen in the hotel where we were, so I sat and watched like three hours, four hours of it, so would I love to do it? I'd Love to do it!The full reissue tracklist and some classic Rumours videos are below.
As mentioned, Fleetwood Mac announced a 2013 tour that includes NYC area stops at Madison Square Garden on April 8, the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on April 20 and the Prudential Center on April 24. While the general on-sale happens on Monday, December 17 at 10 AM, tickets go AmEx today at 10 AM for the MSG and Prudential Center shows, and Wednesday (12/12) at 10 AM for the Mohegan Sun show. Live Nation presale (password might be "Harmony") starts Friday (12/14) at 10 AM.
They had said they were going to tour next year and now we know when and where: Fleetwood Mac have announced a big 2013 North American tour that kicks off April 4 in Columbus, OH and will hit NYC at Madison Square Garden on April 8, and they'll also play Prudential Center on April 24. Tickets to all shows on this tour will go on sale Friday, December 14.
While still in the early stages of planning, Lindsay Buckingham tells Rolling Stone what he'd like to see happen on this tour:
Maybe we'll play more songs from Tusk. I'd also like to see an extended middle portion of the show that's just me and Stevie. This is just me talking from the top of my head. For now, I have no particular vision of what this tour is going to be.Fleetwood Mac are on the cover of the year-end issue of MOJO that features a track-for-track remake of Rumours, done by such artists as Yeasayer, Liars, Julia Holter, and The Besnard Lakes. The issue also features the magazine's favorite albums of 2013.
All 2013 Fleetwood Mac tour dates are below.

This month's issue of UK music magazine MOJO features a free CD titled Rumours Revisted, a tribute to Fleetwood Mac's landmark 1977 album, Rumours. (Not the first time a Fleetwood Mac tribute album came out this year.) The compilation features covers by Yeasayer, Liars, Julia Holter, Pure Bathing Culture, The Besnard Lakes, Dylan LeBlanc, and more. You can stream Yeasayer's take on "Second Hand News" and Liars' reworking of "The Chain" below, and to hear the rest of the album, you might have to get your hands on a copy of the new issue of MOJO or scour the internet for a download. (Side note: I've always wanted to hear 2007-era Yeasayer cover "The Chain" but I guess some things will have to remain up to the imagination...)
Over the summer, Fleetwood Mac revealed plans to tour in 2013. Details for that have still not been announced but the band continue to show signs that the tour is on the way. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Lindsey Buckingham revealed that he'd also like to record with Fleetwood Mac again:
"Absolutely, absolutely I would," he says of creating a new album. "In fact, about six, seven months ago, John [McVie] and Mick [Fleetwood] were over here and we actually cut some tracks, and we did enough for maybe half an album. But you gotta get Stevie [Nicks] on board with that, and at the time, she was really quite caught up in what she was doing . . . but I would love to do that because John and Mick were playing their asses off."The band last released Say You Will in 2003.

Craig Wedren/St. Vincent
You've already heard more than half of the upcoming Fleetwood Mac tribute album, Just Tell Me That You Want Me (due out 8/14 via Concord, but up for pre-order on iTunes now), which features mostly indie rock bands offering their takes on songs from throughout Fleetwood Mac's expansive career. Today we premiere another song from this collection -- Craig Wedren (of Shudder to Think and Baby) and St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) tackling "Sisters of the Moon," a Stevie Nicks-penned standout off 1979's Tusk, with co-production from Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio). The two artists' shared love of off-kilter distortion come together nicely to turn one of Fleetwood Mac's dreamier songs into something entirely new. The first part of the song prominently features Craig singing lead, and a bit more than halfway through, Annie takes over with some heavily processed vocals and gives the song a complete 180. Have a listen for yourself by streaming the cover below.

Stevie Nicks came to "CBS This Morning" yesterday (7/11) for an on-air interview, during which she revealed that Fleetwood Mac plan to reunite "next year, so far." "It's the plan. Because that's what we do. I do my thing. And Lindsey (Buckingham is) out doing his thing now." During that interview, Stevie also spoke about the recent suicide of Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch, saying "I can't even tell you what in the world would have pushed him to do something that crazy."
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are both currently on their own solo tours. Stevie hit the NYC area a few times in the past month, including Beacon Theater and she plays tonight (7/12) at Mohegan Sun in CT. Lindsey's tour is ongoing as well, and it hit NYC back in June for a show at BB King's.
As mentioned, there's also a Fleetwood Mac tribute in the works which comes on August 14 and features covers by mostly indie rock artists. Since we last wrote, many of those covers have surfaced on the internet. 10 of the 17 total covers are streaming below, including Lee Ranaldo Band and J Mascis' "Albatross," Antony's "Landslide," Billy Gibbons & Co.'s "Oh Well," Best Coast's "Rhiannon," The New Pornographers' "Think About Me," Lykke Li's "Silver Springs," Karen Elson (produced by Beck)'s "Gold Dust Woman," Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "Storms," MGMT's "Future Games," and The Kills' "Dreams."

Sleigh Bells at Terminal 5 in Feb 2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
Sleigh Bells and The Kills will separately headline two Converse City Carnage concerts/skateboard events happening at Hudson River Park. The Sleigh Bells show happens Saturday July 21 and is with Jel and Mr. Dream; The Kills show happens August 18 and is with Black Bananas and Viva Viva.
Both shows are free but you do need physical tickets which can be ordered via Ticketmaster on June 22 starting at noon. You can also pick up tickets at Converse's Soho and Garden State Plaza retail locations.
Both shows are part of two-day events. The skateboarding part will take place on Fridays (July 20, August 17) and features Converse Skateboarding Ambassadors Kenny Anderson, Nick Trapasso, along with the entire Converse Skateboarding team. You can read more about it here. Leading up to City Carnage, Hudson River Park's Pier 62 Skate Park will get a facelift courtesy the sneaker folks.
The City Carnage show is part of Sleigh Bells expanded summer tour and all current dates -- some of which are opening for Refused -- are listed below.
In related news, The Kills are featured on a new Fleetwood Mac tribute album titled Just Tell Me That You Want Me. The Kills tackle karaoke favorite "Dreams" and elsewhere on the compilation you can hear Mac songs covered by Lee Ranaldo & J Mascis, Antony, New Pornographers (streaming below), Washed Out, Matt Sweeny & Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Best Coast, Lykke Li, Craig Wedren & St. Vincent, Tame Impala, MGMT and more. The album's out August 14 -- tracklisting and bad cover art is below.
Nashville police are reporting that Bob Welch, former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and solo artist, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 65. Welch was in Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974 and his exit made way for Lindsey Buckingham, shepherding in the band's hitmaking era.
But Welch went on to be a successful solo artist, scoring big hits with soft rock staples "Sentimental Lady" and "Ebony Eyes" in 1978. RIP, Bob.
Videos for both those hits are below.
Dear ridiculously attractive person who just so happens to be looking at this webpage about Tasteful Nudes right now,Tasteful Nudes:...and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation, is out May 22, 2012 via St. Martin's Press. You can pre-order the book at AmazonHi. My name is Dave and this is my very first collection of essays. As you can probably imagine, it pretty much has everything. In fact, if you like stories about stolen meat, animal attacks, young love, death, naked people, clergymen, rock-n-roll, irritable Canadians, and prison, you have just hit a street called Easy because my book talks about all that stuff and a bunch of other stuff too.
Getting back to that prison thing for a second though, I can think of almost no place better to read my book than from within the confines of a correctional facility. For starters, you will definitely have the time. Also, cozying up with a good book in front of your fellow inmates is a great way to show them a softer side that for some reason no one ever wants to hear about in the yard.
Fear not though, non-convicts: my book makes for a solid read outside of prison too. At the beach, on the subway, while whitewater rafting, during couples counseling, under local anesthesia--I have personally seen to it that my book is totally readable in all these scenarios as well as most other scenarios out there today. It will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even think so much that it will make you forget all your problems while simultaneously creating a few new ones. In limited instances, it has been known to cause severe dehydration and the occasional groin pull, but honestly I don't know what that's about. That said, it's probably not a bad idea to keep a glass of water handy and really stretch things out before strapping yourself in for a literary thrill ride you will want to experience again and again until you are either dead or your eyesight fails completely, whichever comes first. In fact, if I end up being wrong about any of this stuff, you can kick me right in the privates. Also, I will send you a nice ham (serves twenty). In short, you really can't lose on this one.
Your man,
Dave Hill
Catch Dave live at The Rejection Show Valentine's Day Heartbreak Haven taking place at Littlefield on 2/14 with "Lizz Winstead, Dave Hill: The One Man Heat-Bringing Machine, Sara Benincasa, Mandy Stadtmiller, Eliot Glazer, Elna Baker, Adam Wade, Katina Corrao, Ted Travelstead, Tom Shillue, Jordan Carlos, Bridey Elliott, Giulia Rozzi, Liam McEneaney, Blaise Kearsley, The Defibulators, Colleen AF Venable, and pie by the slice by Daly Pie!", and then again at Littlefield on 2/18 for The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society performs MIRAGE ... and more. Yes there will be Fleetwood Mac.
Stevie Nicks is currently on tour with Rod Stewart who you probably didn't want to see at Madison Square Garden on 3/26 and 4/6, even if you were tempted by Stevie's irresistible appearance on the bill. Well, good news: The Fleetwood Mac vocalist will celebrate the release of her new solo LP, In Your Dreams, with a rare club appearance at Webster Hall on May 4th, the day after the record hits store shelves, and two days before she plays the Borgata in Atlantic City.
Head to the Stevie Nicks webstore to pre-order the new LP. While you're there you can trade your email address for a "unique Ticketmaster pre-sale code" for Webster Hall tickets. Pre-sale begins Wednesday at 10am. Tickets go on general sale on Saturday, 4/16, at noon. There's a "radio presale" happening Friday too.
All tour dates and some videos of Stevie at MSG, below...
Field Music didn't make it, but there was a special reunion set by Pulsars, followed by the super duper Wye Oak who played before special guest Rumours last night at The Bell House in Brooklyn (12/3).
As advertised (at the last minute anyway), Rumours was a Fleetwood Mac cover band. Cover song experts Loser's Lounge made up the band and a rotating cast of singers came to the stage to play individual tunes. Those vocalists included Dave Hill dueting with Erika from Au Revoir Simone, Will Sheff dueting with Beth Wawerna, Matthew Caws, Britta, Sharon Van Etten, Wye Oak, and many more. The show was in honor of Bell House booker Skippy. Well, it was his birthday party, and he even came out to help perform "I Don't Wanna Know" with Mia Riddle. The full setlist (which did not include AC Newman or Eugene Mirman - both must be out of town) with a couple of videos below...
FIELD MUSIC US TRIP CANCELLEDThat sucks! The Bell House says, "Field Music have postponed their set until early 2010. All ticket holders of advance tickets will be guaranteed FREE admission tonight for Wye Oak, Pulsars, and the special secret set by Rumours, which is an all-star indie rock tribute to Fleetwood Mac (there, we said it). Your ticket will also be good for the re-scheduled Field Music show which will be announced shortly (you will be notified via Ticketweb)."
This is one of my worst days for some time. Unfortunately, we are not able to play our scheduled shows in New York tonight and in Chicago on Saturday. I've come down with flu-like symptoms and given the swine flu situation, spending eight hours sharing my germs with the population of an aeroplane heading to the US would seem like a very silly and fairly irresponsible thing to do. I'm totally devastated about this and would like to apologise to everyone who's bought tickets to come and see us and also to the promoters who've spent so much time and effort organising for us to come over and promoting the shows, especially to Jack at the Bell House -we were supposed to play this evening as part of his birthday celebrations.We will try our very best to reschedule these shows sometime in the new year. In the meantime, again, I'm incredibly sorry we're not playing these shows. I hope we can make it up to you soon.
Fleetwood Mac returns to MSG on June 11th. Tickets are now on presale. Not sure, but the code might be HEMSGFM, or you can use an American Express.

Well . . . I don't know that I would agree that "we all" are accepting it without a fuss. There's a fuss alright, but the administration's propaganda arm -- which you and I know as most of the national media -- will do its best to sweep yet another scandal as far under the rug as it possibly can while the bulk of the electorate continues dancing with the stars and keeping up with the Hovanians and whatever else this mostly brain-dead nation does when it's not scarfing down donuts and "multi-tasking" in traffic.
You know . . . I'm reasonably comfortable with the idea that people get the government they deserve, but when -- exactly -- did 51.3 % of this country stop caring about its progeny . . . or their progeny?
I think The Stones said 'it's all secrecy and no privacy'
When I clicked on the original post (on the link) it messed up my entire computer. I had to turn it off and restart to get rid of it. Scary stuff! At work I feel like I have no privacy at all and that everything is being monitored (emails, which things I Google [like medical terminology] etc.)
actually...this is all just another whine 'n moan session over absolutley nothing new...all these policies came with the original package and have been inplace and used since the P.A. was signed, all those years ago; there was ks. lawyer arrested and jaioled under bush whose great crime was that he actually called his wife (she was a muslim: great crime, that) on the phone...the gubmint was able to 'get the records' and that meant he was a conspirarist of some sort...
the Advocates against were vocal back then, just for this type of reason...funny how the 'right' only dislikes it now because a 'lefty' is running the show...seems a pattern, there...kinda like the fabled oath keepers, or whatever the once and future corbin used to espouse: all 'if george (substitute any white guy/rightwinger) does it, it's okay...but if the the black guy/hillary does the same thing...the sky is fallin' kinda nonsense
nope...none of todays bleaters complained back-in-the-day when georgie & co. boldly, publicly asked for this...things like snooping into your library records...your amazon accounts...phone records: my memory ain't that bad, chilluns; these Co.'s all complained about all this from the get go...and ya'll wouldn't listen...
the big bad gubmint has been able, since day one, to get thier grubby little paws on anything and everything they suddenly desire they want...all w/o warrants...
like every other 'scandal' the right had foisted upon us in the last 4-6 years as the end of all civilization, it will soon be shown that the other guy did it and the world as we know it did not end then ...nor is it now
for those too awfully concerned...get over yer danged selves: we reap what we sow...and we've all sown a bitter crop for quite a long time now, alot longer than barack obama
heck...why just in the last day or so, no less than john mccain came out for closing down guantanamo...what goes around, comes around
NSA can hear you now; they're monitoring phones.
(I'd thought they would be too busy operating drones.)
If you have Verizon they're aware of who you call.
I bet we'll discover that they're checking on us all.
Carriers can't tell us; it would violate the law.
'though it's meant to keep us safe it's sticking in my craw.
They're collecting "meta-data": who is calling who,
Where we are, how long we talk. They're searching for a clue.
NSA can also find us on the internet.
Any fact they want to know about us they can get...
So much information, Libertarians are tense.
As for me, I wonder if the data's making sense.
While we trample 4th Amendment rights, I have to ask
Doesn't all this information complicate the task?
Don't they need to focus and not cast their net so wide?
I would love an answer but that, too, is classified.
I guess I just have to worry about the RCMP checking up on me! But they seem to have their hands full at the moment...
- furry ferret love!
The crazy stuff I find while responding to posts here, scares me. I would look like a looney if anyone saw that.
...I'm kinda excited about the whole thing....a buncha spooks lookin' in on my posts???.....they'll soon realize that the concept of intelligent life in my neck of da woods withered on the vine...
I respect the "least untruthful answer". I respect him for that. Clapper. What a name. Is this a novel?
My fellow foreigners...let us sing the praises of those who lie to us! I respect a FISA court. You? Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act...secretive, too, so those in charge can give the least untruthful answer when THE PEOPLE inquire. About domestic spying. Conclusion?Clapper's claim to Congress was undermined by an April order of the secretive Fisa court instructing Verizon to turn over phone records on millions of Americans to the National Security Agency. Published by the Guardian, the order explicitly authorized the NSA to collect so-called metadata "between the United States and abroad; or wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls."

High levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), an activator of a part of the immune system called the complement system, have been associated with increased mortality and risk of early signs of kidney damage in patients with type 2 diabetes. The effect of weight loss and changes in insulin resistance on MBL levels have been poorly elucidated.
This study includes 36 nondiabetic obese subjects, who will receive a very low- calorie diet (VLCD) of 800 kcal/day for 8 weeks.
Fasting blood samples will be obtained at baseline and after 8 weeks of VLCD and concentrations of MBL, glucose and insulin will be measured. Insulin resistance is assessed using the HOMA-IR method.

Genome biology 9 (11), R158.
Full text not available from this repository.
BACKGROUND: The relationship between the hyperthermophiles Ignicoccus hospitalis and Nanoarchaeum equitans is the only known example of a specific association between two species of Archaea. Little is known about the mechanisms that enable this relationship. RESULTS: We sequenced the complete genome of I. hospitalis and found it to be the smallest among independent, free-living organisms. A comparative genomic reconstruction suggests that the I. hospitalis lineage has lost most of the genes associated with a heterotrophic metabolism that is characteristic of most of the Crenarchaeota. A streamlined genome is also suggested by a low frequency of paralogs and fragmentation of many operons. However, this process appears to be partially balanced by lateral gene transfer from archaeal and bacterial sources. CONCLUSIONS: A combination of genomic and cellular features suggests highly efficient adaptation to the low energy yield of sulfur-hydrogen respiration and efficient inorganic carbon and nitrogen assimilation. Evidence of lateral gene exchange between N. equitans and I. hospitalis indicates that the relationship has impacted both genomes. This association is the simplest symbiotic system known to date and a unique model for studying mechanisms of interspecific relationships at the genomic and metabolic levels.

MedWest Health System patients who need MRIs can now have a more comfortable experience during their scans, thanks to a new state-of-the art imaging system.
The new wide-bore MRI system, which goes online Aug. 26 on the MedWest-Harris campus, offers exceptional image quality, advanced applications and increased patient comfort. The extra-wide opening is more accommodating, especially to larger individuals and those prone to claustrophobia. It's the only wide-bore MRI in the region west of Asheville.
"This is a great addition for us," said Jacky Bradley, Director of Radiology for MedWest Health System. "We are expanding our capabilities with this new system, and will be able to serve a portion of the population that until now we haven't been able to serve with the traditional MRI."
The wide-bore MRI provides 28 inches of inner diameter space compared to 23 inches on traditional MRI equipment with up to one foot of headroom. In addition to greater ease for patients, the new system also produces images that are sharper and more detailed, resulting in a more definitive diagnosis.
"We are very excited to have the most up-to-date MRI technology," said Dr. Martha Anderson, radiologist at MedWest-Harris. "This magnet allows faster scan times with increased resolution."
With the addition of the new unit, MedWest Health System now offers four MRIs on its campuses in Sylva and Clyde.
The public can get a first look at the new wide-bore MRI during a ribbon-cutting and open house at 4 p.m. Aug. 24 on the first floor of Harris Medical Park, 98 Doctors Drive. Call 586-7350 for more information.
MedWest Health System provides healthcare for the people of western North Carolina at MedWest-Harris, MedWest-Haywood and MedWest-Swain hospitals, the outpatient facility MedWest-Franklin, and through the 100-member MedWest Physician Network. MedWest is affiliated with Carolinas HealthCare System.

I know I've already submitted mine with 2 variations. This is a sauce that I make every once in a while and will probably make another batch tonight. It's a very regional vinegar pepper sauce in the vein of Blues Hog Tennessee Red. Someone in another thread asked "who trained/taught the experts" and I said "old guys, many who are no longer with us". This recipe is just that, a VERY old recipe (probably 70 or more years old) where the author is no longer with us. RIP Ray.
Ray's BBQ Sauce:
1 Quart Twelve Oaks Colored Vinegar (no substitutes)
1 Pint Ketchup
2 T Salt
1 T Black Pepper
1 tsp Ground Red Pepper
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Juice from 1 Lemon
Mix in pot and bring to boil, stir to keep from sticking.
Let cool, put in storage container and refrigerate.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to get my hands on the most important ingredient in this recipe (Twelve Oaks Colored Vinegar (no substitutes)), so rather than risk not doing the recipe justice by not recreating it properly, I will move on to sauce #
*13 fattymacs.
When I first received this recipe (from Ray's son) I found it on one particular local stores shelf. Since then I've been unable to find it, and honestly I'm not certain what a suitable substitute would be... This is/was

Ride inspections at WI State Fairfair opens August 1stWEST ALLIS-Most of the rides for the Wisconsin State Fair arrived on the grounds Monday. The task at hand to build them safely and make sure inspectors get a good look before they're up and running. Three inspectors with a company out of Seattle, Washington are taking a look at the ride during each phase of set up. State Inspectors will take another look as the fair draws near. "We are second to the airline industry for moving passengers," Joe Bixler of International Leisure Consulting Inc. tells CBS 58's Tiffany Tarpley, "and we have a tremendous record. Consumer Products Safety one year said our hazard was placed between toasters and aquariums. So we're really low on the list. But when anything happens with the amusement industry or airline industry we hit the front page." The Stratosphere which stopped working a couple of times last year, leaving riders stuck in the air for about 20 minutes is not returning to the fair this year. That's because the owner sold the ride to a company overseas. |

Google absolutely hand edits Serps, in the form of penalties. This happened recently when they tested the new layout for local search. Several sites that had pages targeting local terms with relevant info were dinged. So when their 'quality testers' find something that doesn't align with an algo tweak (in this case showing companies with a physical location), they hand edit by applying penalties.
Even if your pages and content are relevant, informative, and non-spammy they will still edit the results to ensure their algo updates are working properly.

If you need a solution (I certainly don't) then try doing some experimentation on your own site. I can't do anything because I don't have the problem. Uh, you have to eventually give it a 200. Setting up an infinite loop of 301s ain't going to help your ranking, traffic or conversions. Take one of your pages that is having problems with this. Change the name of the file, and set up a RedirectPermanent and tell us what happens.
cmon guys we need a solution NOW! How would googlebot respond to no 200's just 301's every page every time?

AdSense on your desktop: Google starts embedding ads in Google Earth
Everyone cringed when Microsoft announced that Office 2010 Starter would be partially ad-supported, and it looks as though advertising in desktop apps may be something we'll just have to get used to.

WASHINGTON -- The recession seems to be socking Americans in the heart as well as the wallet: Marriages have hit an all-time low while pleas for food stamps have reached a record high, and the gap between rich and poor has grown to its widest ever.
The long recession ended in mid-2009, economists say, but U.S. Census data released Tuesday show the painful, lingering effects. The survey covers all of last year, when unemployment skyrocketed to 10 percent.
The figures also show that Americans have been spending about 36 fewer minutes in the office per week and are stuck in traffic a bit less than they had been. But that is hardly good news, either. The reason is largely that people have lost jobs or are scraping by with part-time work.
"Millions of people are stuck at home because they can't find a job. Poverty increased in a majority of states, and children have been hit especially hard," said Mark Mather, of the Population Reference Bureau.
The economic "indicators say we're in recovery, but the impact on families and children will linger on for years," he said.
Take marriage.
In America, marriages fell to a record low in 2009, with just 52 percent of adults 18 and older saying they were joined in wedlock, compared to 57 percent in 2000.
Marriages have been declining for years due to rising divorce, more unmarried couples living together and increased job prospects for women. But sociologists say younger people are also now increasingly choosing to delay marriage as they struggle to find work and resist making long-term commitments.
In dollar terms, the rich are still getting richer, and the poor are falling further and further behind them.
The income gap between the richest and poorest Americans grew last year to its largest margin ever, a stark divide as Democrats and Republicans spar over extending Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy.
The top-earning 20 percent of Americans -- those making more than $100,000 each year -- received 49.4 percent of all income generated in the U.S., compared with the 3.4 percent made by the bottom 20 percent of earners, those who fell below the poverty line, according to the new figures. That ratio of 14.5-to-1 was an increase from 13.6 in 2008 and nearly double a low of 7.69 in 1968.
At the top, the wealthiest 5 percent of Americans, who earn more than $180,000, added slightly to their annual incomes last year, the data show. Families at the $50,000 median level slipped lower.
Three states -- New York, Connecticut and Texas -- and the District of Columbia had the largest gaps between rich and poor. Big gaps were also evident in large cities such as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Boston and Atlanta, home to both highly paid financial and high-tech jobs as well as clusters of poorer immigrant and minority residents.
Alaska, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Hawaii had the smallest income gaps.
"Income inequality is rising, and if we took into account tax data, it would be even more," said Timothy Smeeding, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who specializes in poverty. "More than other countries, we have a very unequal income distribution where compensation goes to the top in a winner-takes-all economy."
Lower-skilled adults ages 18 to 34 had the largest jumps in poverty last year as employers kept or hired older workers for the few jobs available.
Homeownership declined for the third year in a row, to 65.9 percent, after hitting a peak of 67.3 percent in 2006. Residents in crowded housing held steady at 1 percent, the highest since 2004, a sign that people continued to "double up" to save money.
The number of U.S. households receiving food stamps surged by 2 million last year to 11.7 million, the highest level on record, meaning that 1 in 10 families was receiving the government aid. In all, 46 states and the District of Columbia had increases in food stamps, with the largest jumps in Nevada, Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin.
Other findings:
* The foreign-born population edged higher to 38.5 million, or 12.5 percent, following a dip in the previous year, due mostly to increases in naturalized citizens. The share of U.S. residents speaking a language other than English at home also rose, from 19.7 percent to 20 percent, mostly in California, New Mexico and Texas.
* The poorest poor hit record highs. Twenty-eight states had increases in the share of people below $10,977 in income, half the poverty line for a family of four.
* Women's average pay still lags men's, but the gap is narrowing. Women with full-time jobs made 78.2 percent of men's pay, up from 77.7 percent in 2008 and about 64 percent in 2000, as men took bigger hits in the recession.
* More older people are working. About 27.1 percent of Americans 60 and over were in the work force. That's up from 26.7 percent in 2008.
The census figures come in advance of the pivotal Nov. 2 congressional elections, when voters anxious about rising deficits and the slow pace of the economic recovery will decide whether to keep Democrats in control of Congress.

INDIANAPOLIS — As they wrapped up their 2012 session late Friday night, Indiana lawmakers sent to Gov. Mitch Daniels' desk a measure that will phase out the state's inheritance tax – at a cost of about $160 million tax dollars per year.
The measure immediately raises from $100,000 to $250,000 the amount that is exempt from taxes after Hoosiers die, and then phases out the rest over the next nine years.
It's a move that was championed by groups ranging from the Indiana Farm Bureau, which said the burden fell heavily on family farmers, to conservative political groups with philosophical objections.
"The tax weighs heavily on Hoosier entrepreneurs, employers, farmers, retirees and families, and our state's positive fiscal position allows us to remove this burden," said Sen. Jim Smith, R-Charlestown.
Lawmakers tweaked it in the waning days of the session so that instead of front-loading the savings, the phase-out would be more even over the nine-year period. It was a tax legislators said they could cut because Indiana is on pace to close the fiscal year with $1.8 billion in the bank.
Both the House and Senate were working late into the night Friday, aiming to end their session instead of coming back next week.
In addition to the smoking ban and the state spending on full-day kindergarten bills, which both were approved, here's a look at some of the other measures that were seeing last-minute pushes for passage:
- POLICE HOME ENTRY: Both chambers were set to approve a measure that overturns the Indiana Supreme Court's May 2011 decision that said Hoosiers do not have the right to resist police officers who they believe are entering their homes unlawfully.
It was a decision that came in the case of Richard Barnes, an Evansville man who fought back when police entered his house after responding to a domestic dispute.
"The question is, how safe and secure do we want people to be in their own homes?" said Sen. Randy Head, R-Lafayette.
- SUPERINTENDENT CONTRACTS: School boards would have to post the financial details of superintendents' contracts online under a bill that was set for final votes.
It's a move that comes after a Courier & Press investigation revealed that many districts use a host of mechanisms to boost their leaders' pay, including paying extra cash instead of offering health insurance plans in order to boost the superintendents' pensions.
- PUBLIC ACCESS: On the last day of the legislative session, the Hoosier State Press Association urged newspaper editors to contact their senators and representatives as the group worked with lawmakers to revive public access language.
Hoosier State Press Association Executive Director Steve Key said language that passed the House earlier this year but died in the Senate has been inserted into House Bill 1003.
Lawmakers put the language into the bill during a conference committee meeting, when members of the House and Senate work on compromises between competing versions of legislation.
The language would give judges the ability to levy civil fines against public officials who intentionally violate Indiana's public access laws.

See where Salem winds up in proposed redistricting
The Republicans who control the House of Delegates and the Democrats who control the state Senate released their respective redistricting plans late Tuesday.
Not surprisingly, each party seeks to help itself and hurt the other.
* The House plan would expand the district now represented by Del. Greg Habeeb, R-Salem, to include Craig County and part of Montgomery County.
* The Senate plan would create a Senate district that runs from Salem through Southwest Roanoke County all the way down to Smith Mountain Lake. State Sen. Bill Stanley, R-Moneta, currently lives in that district, though most of his current district winds up elsewhere. Salem is currently represented in the Senate by Ralph Smith, R-Botetourt, who wound find himself in a district that runs toward Lynchburg.
You can see the maps and get more info over on our Blue Ridge Caucus politics blog.
No word yet on proposed congressional district maps.

The AEI-Brookings Joint Center has a new paper on network neutrality regulation.
The economic logic of the paper is impeccable; price discrimination often benefits consumer because it allows service providers to provide premium services to those willing to pay, while giving other consumers the option of bare-bones service at cut-rate prices. The example they use is airline seats: both first class and coach passengers benefit from the airlines' price discrimination–those who care about comfort get a nicer ride, while those who care more about price get a cheaper ticket.
But like most people commenting on this issue–on both sides of the debate–Hahn and Litan are frustratingly vague about how exactly the price discrimination regime would work. For example:
Online gaming provides a good example of how and why all bits are not treated equally by access providers. If there is even a small delay in response time with some games or degradation in the quality of the video stream, product quality declines unacceptably. The suppliers of these games will frequently pay Web-hosting companies to offer faster and more reliable service than they could achieve with their own servers. They may pass the costs through to their customers. For example, users pay between $13 and $15 a month to subscribe to the popular multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft, part of which presumably goes to maintain the quality of the gaming network.
It seems to me that there are several problems with this example. If they're simply referring to the fact that companies often purchase rack space from facilities that have fat pipes, fast servers, and are topographically near most of their customers, that's perfectly true but I don't understand how it's relevant. I haven't seen any proposals to prohibit companies from purchasing fatter pipes or beefier servers.
On the other hand, if their claim is that companies like Blizzard are purchasing QoS contracts from backbone providers on the public Internet, that's news to me. There are no citations in the paper, so it's hard to tell what exactly they might be referring to.
Hahn and Litan state that "The Internet is literally a network of computers." But that's not actually true–it's a network of networks. And this isn't just nitpicking. Those networks are owned by thousands of different organizations. A prioritization scheme wouldn't be especially useful unless everybody agreed on the same prioritization scheme. Yet the authors seem to suggest that I can visit any ISP and purchase "priority service" that will give my traffic higher priority across the entire Internet. This is not, as far as I know, true today, and I think it's unlikely to be true any time soon.
So the authors are right that in principle, price discrimination can be economically beneficial. But I have yet to see anyone (on either side) offer a detailed explanation of how discrimination would work in practice.
One final nitpick: on the fourth page of the PDF (labeled page 31), the authors cite three RFCs over the course of the last 35 years purporting to show that network discrimination has a long pedigree. However, they don't, as is common practice, give the numbers of the RFCs, to say nothing of a specific quote, so it's hard to be sure what exactly is being referred to. It also doesn't take into account the fact that not every RFC reflects common practice on the Internet. It's called a "request for comments" for a reason. There are many RFCs describing protocols that were never widely adopted, or parts of which are never widely implemented. So the fact that three out of nearly 5000 RFCs mention prioritization doesn't tell us a whole lot about common practice on the Internet, either today or in the past.

How Iranian nuclear scientist's assassination will affect Tehran's strategy
In Iran's eyes, the assassination of another Iranian nuclear scientist is proof that the West's carrot-and-stick policy has become solely punitive – giving Tehran little reason to compromise.
(Page 2 of 2)
So Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a warning that Iran would "answer threats with threats."
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
"Iran is not a nation to sit still and just observe threats from fragile materialistic powers which are being eaten by worms from inside," Khamenei told military college students in Tehran on Nov. 10. "Iran will respond with full force to any aggression or even threats in a way that will demolish the aggressors from within."
Since then, Khamenei has stayed true to his promise. When the US and Israel staged or announced military exercises in the neighborhood, so did Iran, unveiling new rocket and missile capabilities.
When the Obama administration said it would target Iran's central bank and oil flows with fresh sanctions, some Iranian officials warned they would respond by closing the Straight of Hormuz – the most important single chokepoint for global oil supplies. (Senior Iranian military officers later backtracked.)
Dangerous assumptions
And as the US, Israel, and the European Union (EU) stepped up the pressure and sanctions began to bite, Iran repeated that its goal was producing peaceful energy – not bombs – and then enhanced its efforts earlier this month, when it not only began enriching uranium at a new, deeply buried facility, but produced its first prototype fuel rod.
"[Khamenei] has made very clear that he's not going to back down," says Farideh Farhi of the University of Hawaii. In recent days Iran's sacred "guide" stated that Iran was engaged in a crucial battle, comparing it to those of centuries ago when Muslims fought nonbelievers.
She says hard-line Iranian leaders are operating on the basis of dangerous assumptions.
"Threatening to close Hormuz may sound insane, but attacking Iran by the United States or Israelis is even more insane, so they operate on the presumption that this will not happen," says Ms. Farhi, who has closely followed Iranian politics for decades. Other assumptions: that Iran can withstand any attack; that the US is weak; and that the economically weak EU is also politically weak.
The Obama administration has also held to its own premise that Iranians don't give in to pressure unless it is a lot of pressure. The US has "operated under that assumption without realizing that we have reached a point where the policy of sticks and carrots has become only a policy of sticks," says Farhi. "There is absolutely no incentive for Khamenei to do anything else. At this point, what do they get out of compromise?"
That is the question Iran's leaders will be asking themselves ahead of fresh global nuclear talks – the first in a year – expected soon in Turkey.
"There is a danger: You can actually talk war into happening," says Ehteshami, coauthor of "Iran and the Rise of its Neoconservatives."
This year is full of uncertainties that are shaping the agenda, he says. Iran's March parliamentary election – the first since the 2009 presidential election that sparked mass protests, has been described by some as the "most important" since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
And in the US presidential election, where being tough on Iran is a no-lose policy, Republican candidates are openly talking of war.
"It is how these have come together in such an unfortunate fashion," says Ehteshami, "that makes the situation very volatile and dangerous."

Sonic is out running when he sees an a strike of lightning opens up an interdimensional portal. A small black glob type creature comes through the portal and follows Sonic to a place where Tails is preparing Chili Dogs for lunch. Tails likes the creature and decided to name him Goobster and keeps him as a pet. Goobster eats all their Chili Dogs.
Scratch and Grounder attack in fighter planes and Goobster helps Sonic to defeat them. Goobster gets hungry so Sonic offers him steak and a sandwich, but Goobster only wants Chili Dogs. Goobster becomes large and starts sucking up everything in sight. Sonic gives him his retirement chili dogs and Goobster calms down.
Dr. Robotnik is angry that Scratch and Grounder failed once again. Scratch and Grounder say it was because of Goobster. Robotnik tells them to kidnap Goobster to lure Sonic and Tails into a trap.
Sonic figures out that Goobster is from another dimension, but before he can do anything about it, Goobster is captured by Scratch and Grounder.
In Dr. Robotnik's Lair, Goobster starts to eat everything in sight. Robotnik decides to use Goobster to get rid of Sonic and take over Mobius. When Sonic and Tails arrive, Goobster is hooked up to an electric machine that shocks him and makes him start sucking up everything. He quickly sucks up Sonic and Tails, but then burps them back out. Sonic frees Goobster and the three escape.
It begins to rain and Sonic takes them back to where he first saw the interdimensional portal open. They wait for lightning to strike again, but Robotnik and his badniks attack. Sonic uses Grounder as a conductor and lightning strikes, opening the portal. Goobster goes through the portal where he is happily reunited with his parents. Tails is sad to see him leave, but Sonic cheers him up by saying he can get a new pet.

Sonic teaches Tails about the responsibility of owning a pet.

- On the website Netflix, this episode is mistakenly listed as "Goodbye Sucker".
- Portal to the Goobster's dimension looks exacly like portal to fairy tales made by Robotnik's Portable Portal Transporter in episode "Sonically Ever After".
