Good morning, I'm David Greene.
It was a yeoman's task but they would never put it that way in Washington State. The state just completed a six-year effort to rewrite its laws using gender-neutral language. Terms like fisherman and freshman were replaced by fisher and first-year student. Penmanship became handwriting. More than 3,000 sections of the law were revised but some words did not change. Manhole and man lock are words that survived; they just couldn't find a better way of saying them.
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm David Greene.
And I'm Steve Inskeep. Here's another reminder that a fast-moving news story can completely change. Prosecutors have dropped the charges against Paul Kevin Curtis. He's the Elvis impersonator first arrested in the case of ricin being sent to U.S. officials, as we reported last week.
How you like them apples? Apple is at the start of our business news.

The massive swath of Boston that has been closed for more than a week is getting closer to reopening. City officials yesterday brought victims of the marathon bombings and their relatives in for a private visit and allowed neighborhood residents back home for the first time in over a week. Businesses also began the process of cleaning up and preparing to reopen.
The hardest-hit shops and restaurants remain boarded up. As NPR's Tovia Smith reports, others are hoping to reopen today or tomorrow.

Even al-Qaida gloats about what's possible under U.S. gun laws. In June 2011, a senior al-Qaida operative, Adam Gadahn, released a video message rallying people to take advantage of opportunities those laws provide.
"America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms," Gadahn says, explaining that "you can go down to a gun show at the local convention center" and buy a gun without a background check.
Then a faint smile crosses Gadahn's face. "So what are you waiting for?" he asks.

Last year's drought wreaked havoc on farmers' fields in much of the Midwest, cutting crop yields and forcing livestock producers to cull their herds. This spring, the rain that farmers needed so badly in 2012 has finally returned. But maybe too much, and at the wrong time.
It's almost the end of April, which is prime time to plant corn. But farmers need a break in the rain so they can get this year's crops in the ground and try to lock in good yields at harvest.

Coffee is a powerful beverage. On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. On a much broader level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.
Spring's little green garden peas were nearly done in by the tin can. Their unfortunate incarceration rendered them drab, mush and bleak. They tasted of the tinny can, if anything at all. Brilliant, beautiful, garden peas deserve better.

Earlier this month, Morning Edition launched a new food project called Cook Your Cupboard, inspired by a dilemma many of us have faced before: a mysterious food item in the pantry, bought for an unusual recipe or on a whim, that we simply don't know what to do with. Morning Edition asked listeners to send photos of their baffling ingredients to npr.org/cupboard, where home cooks gave each other many creative recipe suggestions.

It's 9:30 p.m. on a Friday night, and Bassem Youssef's show is on TV screens at cafes throughout downtown Cairo.
It's the Egyptian political satirist's first show since he was summoned to the prosecutor general's office to answer questions about the jokes he makes on TV. After the interrogation, he was released on about $2,200 bail.
On this night, the show opens with a joke about Youssef himself.

I mean, if anything strips the veneer of difference from the two-party system better than this shit, I'll eat my hat. Here you have a guy who actively campaigned for the other side, who spent the last six months telling America that Barack Obama was a four-year-old retarded commie nigger Muslim abortionist from the moon, and that proves insufficient reason to strip the guy of his committee chairmanships. What a wonderful farce.

I think somewhere in there is also the same thing that helped elect the new Prez. Sing it with me: Never be rude to an Arab…
The average left-leaning WASP is more terrified of being labeled an anti-semite than he is of squaring things with some punk turd who manages to keep his seat.

I believe the saying is "In like Flynn", unless this is another esoteric joke or a line from the director's cut of Lebowski.

I can handle Realpolitik, so long as they have the bastards gonads tied up in barbed wire attached to a choke collar. Since that is probably not the case, and being profoundly illiterate in French, isn't there a statement about change and remaining the same?
Seriously, if the dipshit strays even a little, they need to do something awful to him. Expose him for the Sonderkommando he really is, or the Judas Goat...to the Mosad. Let them take care of him.
I find the Stevens explusion even funnier. They want rid of him in the Republican caucus, and they want to seem righteously angry at his daring to besmirch the Senate with his greed and general assholeness. However, they appear to like the guy who wants to move for expulsion even less because he's a self-righteous prig from South Carolina who -- according to Wonkette -- manuevered it so the Senate had to stay late on a Friday for a vote, but he blew it off to go to a topless bar in Columbia or something.
Seriously, where's Vespasian when you need him? - 5:38 PM

Other anon: Some people sez In Like Flynn, others reference the short lived franchise of Flint movies starring James Coburn as a sort of proto-Austin Powers minus the desperate fart and dick jokes, but either version is valid.

Monsieur, did it ever occur to you that Joe meant all those things in a nice way?
- Anonymous said...
Okay, here's a thought I haven't yet seen expressed elsewhere.
What counts is the vote. He's 1 in only 100, things are closely balanced, and many TRULY important things -- treaties, judicial appointments, cloture votes, etc. -- WILL turn on that single vote.
Now, the obvious rejoinder is, how bad does it have to get before you sacrifice that vote?
And the answer is, it's not that bad yet. For all his treachery and smarminess, it's worth swallowing everything that's happened to date for that vote.
For now.
And if the Senate's "collegiality" seems boundless, remember that their memories are likewise. Every Democrat in the Senate is aware of the pressure, and the frustration, and the anger. And you can bet that Joe is as much so as any of them.
I think he's on probation, and that will be used against him continuously and shamelessly. I think every vote (remember, there have been NO votes in the new Congress yet) will be a test. And I think Joe will feel the heat in every test. And I think Reid and others will hold it against him on vote after vote.
Now, you may say, if not now, when? If they didn't cut him off for this, why will they cut him off for a single vote later? And it's a fair question.
I think the answer will become clear when the Senate adopts its "housekeeping" resolution when it convenes. Those resolutions take many forms, and a key characteristic is, how easy is it to CHANGE chairmanships and party allocations after the initial one?
I'll bet the resolution that passes makes it easy as pie to dump Joe on a moment's notice. I wouldn't be surprised if they go out of their way to make that point explicit.
I think what they did was, hoist the rope up, but leave him on his tippy-toes, so he's not quite strangling. Yet. - 7:27 PM

From Greenwald:
"The vote to keep Lieberman in his Chair was not even close -- 42-13. Both Lieberman and Howard Dean agree that it was Obama's desires here that were instrumental in the outcome. Of Obama, Dean said: 'He called the shots, and that's fine.' That bodes really well for Congressional independence. Key Obama allies in the Senate -- including Dodd, Durbin and Kerry -- supported Lieberman.
"Senate Democrats believe it's important to reward someone with a powerful Chairmanship who has been a vehement supporter of George Bush, the war in Iraq, the full panoply of anti-constitutional abuses, and an amplifier of the most toxic right-wing toxic points. At the same time, they consider it a good thing to scorn their supporters on what they consider to be 'the Left.' For anyone willing to hear it, they've made as clear and resounding a statement -- again -- about who they are and who they do and don't listen to." - 11:34 PM

I think Anon @ 7:27 got lost on the way to hullabaloo. I mean...what the effing eff? What magical vote do you think Lieberman, of all fucking politicians is going to gift to the Democrats (of all fucking politicians)?
What astounds me the most about mainstream donk thinking is the way they can (sometimes accurately) suss out the meanings of which color stockings Louis XIV wore at supper, and how that was certainly a veiled snub to Cardinal Richelieu, or whatever, and still come to the utterly cross-wise conclusion that they're in on the game.

Review of
The City Chic Nursing Dress in Peacoat
by C. R. in Toledo, OH.
Reviewer Status: nursing newborn-10 days old
I purchased this dress to wear Christmas eve and again in March for my brother's wedding. The fabric of this dress is sort of a spandex so it is a little clingy and could show off panty lines--but when I put it on over some shapewear (a new mom's best friend) it looked great. There is plenty of coverage on the top to be mom appropriate without being overly modest. The length hits just below the knee and has a fun flirty ruffle at the bottom. It was very easy to nurse in and travels very well (no need to iron it at all). Being just 10 days post partum I was a little concerned about the clingy fit, but the side ruching help to cover up the post-baby bump. Even when I tried it on the week before my son was born it still looked great. Over all I love it and look forward to wearing it at my brothes wedding in March. It will likely be added to my dressy wardrobe and worn even when I am not nursing if I have the occasion.
Review of
The City Chic Nursing Dress in Cocoa
by S. K. in Harrison Township, MI.
Cute, fitted design! I wish there were more vibrant colors like turquoise or Teal! For a shorter woman like myself, as I am 5'3, it comes down about mid calf. The material is decent, and provides good give. I am pregnant and feel cute in it and afterwards I believe it will continue to be cute, dressy, and comfortable all at once!

This dress is beautiful! Very flattering and comfortable. It is shiny as well so can be pretty formal. Not a lot of nursing coverage, but better than nothing.
Review of

by L. T. in Brooklyn, NY.
Reviewer Status: Nursing a newborn
The cut and ruching of this dress is very flattering. However the fabric is thinner than I expected so the dress is a bit clingy.
Review of
The City Chic Nursing Dress in Peacoat

Reviewer Status: Nursing a 4 month old
Very cute - darker than I imagined (it's definitely a dark navy). Thin, so you'll need some shapewear if not pregnant.

"Problems Sleeping After Heart Valve Surgery?" Asks Jenny
Posted by Adam Pick on September 30th, 2009I just received a great question from Jenny about sleep after heart valve surgery.
Jenny writes, "Adam, I had mitral valve replacement seven days ago for regurgitation. I'm struggling a bit as I deal with the some of the post-operative challenges you address in your book. I'm really having an issue getting a good night of sleep. Sleeping at the hospital was tough enough. But, it's gotten worse since I came home. I feel like a Zombie. And, the night sweats continue. Is this common? Thanks, Jenny"
Over the years, I have spoke many patients – especially tummy sleepers – that have expressed several sleep problems following heart valve surgery. Some of those problems include:
- Inconsistent sleep, waking up often
- Insomnia
- Night sweats
- Discomfort getting in and out of bed
- Heart pounding noises
- Mechanical valve replacement clicking
Finally, some patients may have an adverse reaction to medication intended to enhance sleep. Personally, I had a very, very, very strange reaction to Ambien. One night, after taking a 10mg Ambien pill, Robyn (my wife) found me sleepwalking through our house. When Robyn approached me, I responded to her as if I was a character in a book that I was reading. When I woke up the next morning, I had no memory of the episode. Needless to say, that was the last time I took Ambien.
As many former patients read this blog, maybe they can share their thoughts on this topic. Did you experience any problems sleeping after heart valve surgery?
I hope this helps Jenny (and perhaps you) learn more about sleep after heart surgery.
Keep on tickin!

Non-European Student Migration to the UK
This briefing sets out to answer key questions about how many students from outside Europe come to the UK, how long they stay, how many family members come with them, what they are studying, whether they work during their study here and how many of them change status and choose to settle permanently in the UK.
Key points
- 2011 student immigration from outside the EU has been estimated at 180,000 (2011, International Passenger Survey), with higher estimates from data on visas issued (237,000) and landing cards from passenger entries (248,000).
More... - While fewer students from the Americas have been entering the UK, passenger entries of students from Asia increased from 114,000 in 2008 to 171,000 in 2009, remained similar (172,000) in 2010 but decreased in 2011 to 161,000.
More... - By gender, men consistently make up the majority of students coming to the UK, with 2011 IPS data estimating that 57% of people migrating to the UK for the main purpose of formal study were male.
More... - In 2012, Higher Education Institutions made up 75% of visa applications of students accepted for study, up from 56% in 2010. This mainly reflects a decrease in such visa applications from other types of educational institutions, including further education colleges and English language schools.
More... - On average, student migrants have shorter stays in the UK than those who migrate for family or work; among students entering the UK in 2006, 17% remained in the UK with legal leave to remain by 2011.
Understanding the evidence
For the purpose of estimating the contribution of students to overall counts of Long-Term International Migration (LTIM), which students meet the relevant definition of who counts as a migrant? By government definition, those who reside in the UK for at least 12 months are migrants. Official Office of National Statistics (ONS) estimates of net international migration are based on entrants' expressed intent to stay for at least one year, as collected on the International Passenger Survey. So, in this measure, entrants to the UK who say they are here for formal study and who say that they plan to stay in the UK for at least 12 months are counted as migrants by the ONS. Alternative sources come from administrative data on "entry clearance visas" issued to students, and "passenger entries" into the UK of international students. Passenger entry data is based on a projection from a sample of landing cards filled out at ports of entry; visa data are actual counts of all visas issued. These data sources do not fully exclude international students expected to stay for less than one year, and who are therefore not classified as migrants by government definition. They do, however, track "student visitors" of eleven months or less (formerly six months or less); these are excluded from the analyses below. Administrative data also exclude European and British nationals, since visas and landing cards are required only of people subject to immigration control. (Nationalities subject to immigration control are non-EEA [European Economic Area] countries, with the exception of Switzerland, often shortened to "non-EEA/Swiss nationals.")
International students attend a wide range of institutions, including universities, colleges, language schools, vocational schools, English language schools, and independent fee-paying secondary schools. They range from secondary school-age children to postgraduate student researchers. Higher Education Institutions are 'recognised bodies' with the power to award degrees (or offer full provision leading to a degree), and include all UK universities as well as some higher education colleges.
International students largest category of migration to the UK
Each relevant data source agrees that student migration now constitutes the largest category of migration to the UK (compared to work, family, and asylum). But the sources diverge as to the actual number of students arriving, and to the trends over time. In 2011, for example, administrative data on passenger entries and visas each showed between 235,000 and 250,000 international students from outside Europe (237,028 visas issued, 247,510 passenger entries), while IPS estimates estimated 180,000 non-EU (and non-British) migrants coming for the purpose of formal study. Adding British and other EU nationals (plus adjustments for changes to length-of-stay) yields an LTIM estimate of 232,000 international students in 2011. The difference might arise from counting students who stay for less than one year in administrative data, but it is impossible to know for sure from the presently available data. (For more on discrepancies between sources, see Evidence gaps and limitations below.)
As Figure 1 shows, the trends over time differ by data source, although these differences appear to have been reduced by improved data collection. IPS estimates show student migration increasing since the early 1990s to 2010 then decreasing in 2011. Reliable visa data are available only from 2007, and show an increase from 2007-2009 and a decrease in 2010-2011. Trends in passenger entry data are not clearly interpretable for two reasons. First, student visitors were included in this series until mid-2007; second, in mid-2003, the Home Office improved its methods of determining these data from samples of landing cards, making pre-2004 data less comparable. It appears, then, that earlier data overestimated student entries. This means that there probably has been an increase in passenger entries since 2000 that is masked by these changes in data methods and presentation.
Figure 1
Characteristics of international students: region, gender, level of study
Where do international students come from? According to IPS estimates, in 2011 80% (180,000) were from outside the EU and 20% were from the EU, including 2.2% of the total who were British nationals arriving from abroad (see Figure 2). (Note that these figures are based on the IPS estimate of 226,000 people coming to the UK for the purpose of study in 2011, among all nationalities. Adjusted LTIM estimates place the total figure at 232,000 but are not broken down by nationality.)
Figure 2
Passenger entry data give more detail on non-EEA/Swiss nationals, showing the region of origin of people entering the UK to study. In 2011, as shown in Figure 3, the largest contribution came from Asia (excluding the Middle East), with 161,000 passenger entries. Significant recent changes include a drop in students from the Americas (over 90,000 each year from 2004-2007, down to 39,000 in 2011) and a 50% one-year increase in students from Asia from 2008 (114,000) to 2009 (171,000) followed by a drop to 161,000 by 2010.
Figure 3
By gender, according to IPS estimates, 57% of people arriving for formal study in 2011 were male. Men made up a majority of student migrants coming to Britain in every year since 1999, with annual proportions reaching as high as 60% male in 2010.
New Home Office data provide evidence on the proportion of international students studying at different levels and types of institutions. These data show visa applications based on Confirmations of Acceptance for Studies (CASs), documents from a sponsor permitting a student to enroll at an educational institute, and required for foreign students' visas. In 2012, 75% (156,537) of visa applications based on CASs were for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), while 15% were for tertiary or further education or other colleges, 2% for English language schools, 7% for independent schools, and 2% for other institutions. This contrasts with the previous years, which saw 56% of CAS-based visa applications coming from the HEI portion of the sector, while 31% came from tertiary, further education, or other colleges, and 4% from English language schools (8% in 2010). As Figure 4 shows, amidst an overall decline from 2011 to 2012, the HEI category saw an increase while the other portions of the education sector all saw declines, including a drop of over 50,000 in the tertiary, further education, and other college category and almost 8,000 among English language schools.
Figure 4
Student migrants add to the permanent population less than other migrants
Student visas are temporary, in that they do not provide a direct legal route to settlement. Student migrants typically have shorter stays in the UK than other types of migrants. Of those who entered in 2006, 82% no longer remained in the UK as settled residents or in the immigration control system by the end of 2009. Another 17% of the 2006 cohort retained limited leave to remain in the UK (5% as students, 12% with other forms of leave to remain, while 1% had attained settlement, or indefinite leave to remain (Home Office 2013).
Those wishing to stay in the UK beyond the terms of their initial student visa have several options: they might apply for an extension to their student visa, or apply for a new visa under a work or family category. Some might avoid the immigration system and stay on without a visa, but, as noted below, overstayers are difficult to estimate, and impossible to count directly using administrative data, as they evade the immigration control system.
Extensions granted annually to non-EEA students appear in Figure 5. Refusals have been relatively rare, although they have been higher during the initial stages of the Points-Based System than previously. Note that these data refer to extensions granted to remain in the UK as students, and do not include students who extend their stay through transfer to work or family routes.
Figure 5
Students not only have shorter stays, but they also bring fewer dependents than other categories of migrants. The ratio of main applicants to dependents awarded Tier 4 Student visas is approximately 10:1 (slightly more than one dependent visa is granted entry for every 10 main applicant student visas). For Tier 1 and Tier 2 labour migrants the ratio has typically been closer to 10:8.
Evidence gaps and limitations
The usual inconsistencies among different sources of data on UK migration flows apply to the estimation of student migration. The sources of data include Home Office Immigration Statistics, estimates from the International Passenger Survey, and changes in the population of foreign students in the UK estimated by the quarterly Labour Force Survey.
Each of these sources has important limitations as a measure of student migrants coming to the UK.
- IPS is a survey of a randomly-selected sample of passengers entering and leaving the UK, rather than an actual count of migrants and other passengers. This has several implications. First, the IPS yields only estimates of migration, and these estimates come with a substantial margin of error as well as possible unknown biases. Further, the IPS detects students through a single question asking passengers to report their primary reason for migration; thus it might undercount students if some give a different primary reason for coming to the UK, including work or accompanying family. The IPS includes EU as well as non-EU nationalities. The ONS publishes estimates of EU and non-EU citizens separately, but these estimates are based only on IPS data and do not include the adjustments (e.g. for "switching" from short-term to longer-term stays in the UK) that the ONS makes to produce LTIM from IPS data. The estimates of student migration from IPS data are usually slightly lower than adjusted LTIM estimates.
- Immigration statistics from administrative (Home Office) sources exclude EEA and Swiss citizens. Visa data also include some people who get visas but never come to the UK – the Home Office's 2010 report on students found that, for a subset of educational institutions they examined, 20% of those offered admission and granted a CAS and/or visa did not enter the UK, but these were drawn from a "convenience sample" and may not be representative.
- LFS data probably undercount students, especially those living in dormitories and other communal dwellings. Also, the LFS includes information on the number of international students in the UK at any one time, but has only just begun (in 2010) to ask respondents whether they came to the UK for the purpose of study.
Estimating the contribution of students to net migration, as opposed to simply total inward migration, adds further problems. IPS currently provides the only estimates of outward migration. (The UK Border Agency's eBorders program will provide data on departures when it is complete and fully functioning.) Yet its estimates of the net contribution of the student pathway can easily be misinterpreted: rather than tracking the net flow of those who enter the UK to study, IPS (and LTIM estimates derived from it) assesses the number coming to the UK to study and the number who are leaving to study elsewhere. Thus, the positive "net migration" of students shows only that more people come to study in the UK than leave the UK to study. It says nothing about the outward flows of people who originally came to the UK as students.
Overstaying should not be confused with legitimate extensions to student visas, as sometimes occurs in media reports (as in the headline correction in McVeigh 2010) Legitimate extensions through work, family, or extended study are shown in administrative data and examined in a recent Home Office research report (Achato et al. 2010, Home Office 2013).
Finally, there has been concern among politicians and the public about "bogus colleges" sponsoring entries but not actually offering courses of study (Anderson and Rogaly 2005), and about possible "non-compliance"— students overstaying their visas and staying in the UK without legal permission to remain. As is generally true for non-compliance with immigration law, it is difficult to capture these in official data because of the nature of non- compliance. The Home Office studied the issue of bogus colleges in 2007, prior to the PBS and the tightening of rules for institutions registering to teach foreign students. This study found that 25% of 1200 colleges inspected were not "genuine" (Home Affairs Committee 2009), but there are no comparable data on post-PBS accredited institutions. A more recent Home Office study (Home Office 2010) may not provide valid estimates as it relied on samples of convenience rather than representative samples.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Lenna
"This was a favorite of my 6 children. It is easy to make and if the batch is too large, the recipe is easily cut in half."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups water
3 cups raisins
2 cups shortening
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups white sugar
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
I didn't realize until it was too late that this makes sooo many cookies. I had to hunt in my kitchen to find a bowl big enough to mix it all. I was hoping that I had realized it ahead of time so that I could cut the batch in half. Then I tasted a warm cookie...oh my goodness! These are delicious. I wouldn't change a thing...not even the amount.
This is a simple recipe with basic ingredients and a taste that everyone will enjoy. I used craisins instead of raisins, which I believe made it look a little nicer. These cookies are cake-like and spread out a bit on the pan. A halved recipe was plenty for my purposes.

Welfare for the rich
One often sees in the media signs by the Tea Party calling Obama a socialist. Our socialistic policies began with the New Deal with its subsidies during bad economic times. Since then our economy has improved, but the subsidies continue to this day. For example, every $1 of profits earned by corn sweeteners costs consumers $10, and every $1 of profits earned by its ethanol operation costs taxpayers $30.
In 2011 the Tea Party was the reform party. Earmarks were blocked in the 2011 budget because the Tea Party insisted upon it. There is an Office of Congressional Ethics, the only independent watchdog ensuring that members live up to ethical rules because the Tea Party insisted upon it...

CD/LP/Track Review
Rez Abbasi: Things To Come (2009)
A brilliant technician, Abbasi is noted for blending shrewd chops with South Asian and Western concepts. Here he presents Things To Come , not just follow-up to 2006's Bazaar (Zoho Music) but the fruition of new exploration and cerebral composition. As stated in his liner notes, the goal was "to create a sound that forms its own identity," and this release emphatically accomplishes the task.
The music is perfectly translated by a remarkable band that includes like-minded visionariesIyer and Mahanthappa, drummer Dan Weiss , bassist Johannes Weidenmueller , and guests Mike Block on cello and Abbasi's wife, award- winning Indian vocalist, Kiran Ahluwalia.
Whereas some familiar recordings have incorporated the typical rhythmic constructs of tabla and vocalizations, Abbasi's music makes use of freer jazz concepts and detailed composition, bringing to mind, in part, the music of the great Andrew Hill and Greg Osby 's cerebral and groove- oriented thinking. No tabla here, Weiss does the duties on a standard drum kit, but as he's proven time and time again on previous collaborations with Abbasi, there's nothing ordinary about his meticulous and creative traps, as he and Weidenmueller's profound bass underpin Abbasi's complex arrangements.
The celestial "Dream State" commences with harp-like strings, then moves into an undulating groove where Iyer's avant-garde keys roam free, followed by Abbasi's fuzzed tone probings and a burning statement from Mahanthappa's angular alto. "Air Traffic" is altogether different, painted with Ahluwalia's strange yet beautiful vocals and Mahanthappa's stiletto precision. Many of the tracks follow this anatomynodes connecting, disconnecting and reforming into elaborate webs of flowing sound.
The music, though challenging, is steeped in emotion and imagination. The captivating title, the shortest track, is a dream-induced duet with Abbasi's lush acoustic guitar and Ahluwalia's angelic voice. Or the longest track, the fascinating "Within Sanity" which features intrepid solos, shifting movements, and a riveting self collapsing ending.
It would be in incorrect to state that Abbasi has arrived, with his already impressive body of work, but Things To Come , as aptly titled, signals a new chapter in the evolution of a masterful musician and thinker, leaving much anticipation for what he'll deliver next.
Track Listing: Dream State; Air Traffic; Hard Colors; Things to Come; Why Me Why Them;
Within Sanity; Realities of Chromaticism; Insulin.
Personnel: Rez Abbasi: guitars; Dan Weiss: drums; Johannes Weidenmueller: bass; Vijay Iyer: piano; Rudresh Mahanthappa: alto saxophone; Mike Block: cello (2, 7); Kiran Ahluwalia: Indian vocals (2-4, 6).
Record Label: Sunnyside Records

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Day SPF 30 Reviews
Super moisturizer, but too heavy for me!
This product has super moisturizing powers. I wanted something with retinol in it, and purchased this. It moisturizers great, but I think it is a little too much or me. I'm still. In my 20's, and I don't really need something this intense, and it broke me out. But, my skin (minus the acne!!) was nourished, felt velvety, and healthy. I can see how this would be a great product for someone with more nature skin needs. — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Harlot High and Low (70 Edition)by Honore Balzac
About the AuthorThe son of a civil servant, Honoré de Balzac was born in 1799 in Tours, France. After attending boarding school in Vendôme, he gravitated to Paris where he worked as a legal clerk and a hack writer, using various pseudonyms, often in collaboration with other writers. Balzac turned exclusively to fiction at the age of thirty and went on to write a large number of novels and short stories set amid turbulent nineteenth-century France. He entitled his collective works The Human Comedy. Along with Victor Hugo and Dumas père and fils, Balzac was one of the pillars of French romantic literature. He died in 1850, shortly after his marriage to the Polish countess Evelina Hanska, his lover of eighteen years.

A Life in Brief
From The American President by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
John F. Kennedy was born into a rich, politically connected Boston family of Irish-Catholics. He and his eight siblings enjoyed a privileged childhood of elite private schools, sailboats, servants, and summer homes. During his childhood and youth, "Jack" Kennedy suffered frequent serious illnesses. Nevertheless, he strove to make his own way, writing a best-selling book while still in college at Harvard and volunteering for hazardous combat duty in the Pacific during World War II. Kennedy's wartime service made him a hero. After a short stint as a journalist, Kennedy entered politics, serving in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 and the U.S. Senate from 1953 to 1961.
Kennedy was the youngest person elected U.S. President and the first Roman Catholic to serve in that office. For many observers, his presidency came to represent the ascendance of youthful idealism in the aftermath of World War II. The promise of this energetic and telegenic leader was not to be fulfilled, as he was assassinated near the end of his third year in office. For many Americans, the public murder of President Kennedy remains one of the most traumatic events in memory—countless Americans can remember exactly where they were when they heard that President Kennedy had been shot. His shocking death stood at the forefront of a period of political and social instability in the country and the world.

TALLAHASSEE -- Ten now former Florida State players will be trying to boost their NFL Draft stock in the next couple of weeks when they participate in a series of collegiate all-star bowl games. Beginning Saturday, the former Seminoles will participate in the East-West Shrine, Senior and Texas vs. The Nation Bowls and Games.
All this week, defensive tackle Anthony McCloud, receiver Rodney Smith and linebacker Nick Moody have been in St. Petersburg practicing for the East-West Shrine Game. They'll both be on the East squad when the two teams take the Tropicana Field surface at 4 p.m. Saturday.
At 3 p.m. Saturday, long snapper Dax Dallenbach will be participating in the Raycom College Football All-Star Classic inside the new Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala. It will air on the CBS Sports Network.
Next week, quarterback EJ Manuel, kicker Dustin Hopkins, defensive tackle Everett Dawkins and linebacker Vince Williams will be in Mobile, Ala., meeting with NFL general managers and scouts ahead of next Saturday's Senior Bowl. Williams was added to the bowl roster Thursday.
A week later, fullback Lonnie Pryor will be in Allen, Texas, taking part in the Texas vs. The Nation Game. Without Texas ties -- he's from Florida and played his college ball in this state -- he'll be representing The Nation. That game will be played Feb. 2, the day before the Super Bowl.
The Seminoles actually have had one player already serve in one of the 11 nationwide all-star games. Offensive tackle Daniel Glauser played left tackle for the East squad in the Casino Del Sol All-Star Game in Tuscon, Ariz. The East lost 40-7.
On the hierarchy of post-season collegiate all-star bowls, the Shrine Bowl has long been regarded as the grandaddy of them all. It was first played in 1925. The Senior Bowl could be considered its younger, maybe more popular son. Although NFL Network will be televising both games, the cable/satellite channel will devote more air time in Mobile during the days before the Senior Bowl, talking to players and NFL execs.
With the NFL Combine now about a month away, the all-star bowls are a good chance for players to begin impressing the franchises that might draft them in April. Now that their college careers are complete, they'll begin interviewing with organizations and will try to prove how they take NFL coaching and respond to NFL schemes. Next month, when they compete at the Combine, the players will begin showcasing the technical skills they possess that could make them next-level competitors. At their various college Pro Days the next month, players will be able to do more of the same.
The post-season bowls are open only to seniors whose eligibility has ended. Juniors and other underclassmen can only raise their draft stock at the Combine or Pro Days. With several highly-valued talents, FSU is expected to have a busy Pro Day and Combine showing.
Current FSU draft targets are drawing these types of Draft projections:
---DE Bjoern Werner (first round; as high as No. 2 overall)
---CB Xavier Rhodes (first round)
---OT Menelik Watson (first/second/third round)
---DE Brandon Jenkins (second/third round ... as an OLB)
---DE Cornellius Carradine (second/third round)
---QB EJ Manuel (third round)
---DT Everett Dawkins (fourth round)
---LB Lonnie Pryor (fourth/fifth round ... currently top-rated FB in draft class)
---WR Rodney Smith (fifth/sixth round)
---DT Anthony McCloud (fifth/sixth round)
---K Dustin Hopkins (sixth/seventh round ... currently top-rated K in draft class)
---OLB Nick Moody (free agency/undrafted)
---ILB Vince Williams (free agency/undrafted)
---RB Chris Thompson (undrafted)
---OT Daniel Glauser (undrafted)
---LS Dax Dallenbach (undrafted)

Swedish ISPs vow to erase users' traffic data
Having apparently been scared off illegal file sharing in large numbers by a new Swedish law that went into effect April 1, pirates in that country now have a new safe harbor to escape law enforcement.
Three Swedish Internet service providers, among them Tele2, one of the country's three major broadband operators, have stated that they will erase traffic data to protect their customers' privacy.
"It's a strong wish from our customers, so we decided not to store information on customers' IP numbers anymore," Niclas Palmstierna, CEO of Tele2, told Swedish national news agency TT Tuesday … Read more

State Department of Health, saying that 'in the event that this community is chosen for the test program with the new vaccine, the Pima County Medical Society will cooperate with the Department of Public Health to the very best of its ability.' As a result of later long discussion at the Board of Discussion meeting, the following letter was sent to Dr. Salsbury: 'I have been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Pima County Medical Society to advise you that this Society does not oppose that trial program with poliomyelitis vaccine which is to be conducted by the Arizona State Health Department, but does not wish to be placed in the position of sponsoring the vaccine or assuming responsibility for it.'Actually I think we must admit that these replies were sent out from our Society, in the first case with very little deliberation and thought, and in the second case after a lot of thought on the part of those of us who know little about it. Tonight, is the presence of those who are informed and can present the various sides, we can act more intelligently about it. We would like to get some information on this subject. It is a serious thing, and it would like, therefore, to throw this matter open to discussion among the members present so that, before we leave here tonight, we may have some opinion as to how this program affects how we should conduct ourselves."Dr. George L. Dixon addressed the President, and was recognizes. He said "On March 3, 1954. all of you were mailed a letter from the Arizona State Department of Health which fully explained this matter and the vaccine, and I quote, 'Basically, the vaccine is composed of all three types of viruses grown in cultures of monkey kidney tissue. To the virus there is added formaldehyde solution, which stays in contact with the virus solution at controlled temperatures for several days. To make certain that no live particles of virus remain after the formaldehyde treatment, samples of each batch are injected into the brains of twelve health monkeys. For at least 3 weeks these animals are observed carefully for any signs of illness. As a double check, additional samples are placed in a series of tissue cultures to see if there are any signs of virus growth. And as a triple check, samples are injected into mice and rabbits to determine whether any other contaminants might be present that could caused any reactions.The triple safety tests on each batch of vaccine to be used in the vaccine field trials will be made by three independent laboratories--Doctors Salk's (who developed this vaccine), the commercial manufacturer's, and the Laboratory of Biologics Control of the National Institute of Health, the division of the U.S. Public Health Service which controls the manufacture of all biologic preparations. Not until the vaccine has passed the triple safety tests one hundred per cent is it considered ready for use.'This is a trial to determine the effectiveness of the shot in preventing poliomyelitis, and to give us the time effective prevention can be determined. Booster shots can be administered as necessary. The local Board of Health, with the aid of the Pima County Chapter of the National Foundation, plans to work out some twenty-five teams of doctors and nurses so that all the injections can be given in a single day in approximately three hours. The second grade has been selected. The actual date is not yet known, but the first injection will be given and followed in one week by the second, the third four weeks later, so that all will completed in 5 weeks.Dr. Lewis Howard and I went over this carefully with a number of State physicians who were down in Tucson last week, and Dr. Howard plans to attend a meeting of the Board of Health in Phoenix on the 12th of this month to get further information. All the children in the second grade can be vaccinated. Written permission from the parents is necessary. The vaccine for these tests seems perfectly safe and the process for preparing it is a time tried one. This is the first time monkey tissue has been used in cultures, so that no allergic reactions are anticipated. In other words, allergic children, such as asthmatics, exzematoids [ eczematoids ], etc., should not be affected. Temporary illness, is the child is able to get to school during the hours of the vaccination, should not be aggravated. The purpose of the test is not for the safety of the test, but to determine the length of time of its effectiveness for prevention."

Mike Schwartz won't be peddling "Natty Light" Wednesday, 12-12-12.
Beer geek, a bred of brew lovers Schwartz holds in the high esteem, will descend on Belmont Party Supply for the release of Westvleteren XII.
"(It) is the most sought-after beer in the world," said Schwartz, who has owned the business at 621 S. Smithville Road since 1984.
His business has created a lottery system of Facebook for a chance to win the right to buy a case. A random number generator was used to pick the winners. A second lottery will be held for beer not picked up by Monday. Schwartz had planned to open at 12.01 a.m. Wednesday, but scratch that idea after distribution issues arose related to an Ohio law that forbids giving a business the exclusive right to sale particular achololic beverages..
A case won't come cheap.
Each six pack of the ale produced by monks at its 1,838-year-old Belgian brewery will cost you $85.
Aaron Spoores, regional sales manager for Cavalier Distributing, was not sure how many cases will end up in the region, but they will go like hotcakes. The top stores that sell products from the Shelton Brothers importers will get the lion's share.
"It will be gone before you blink your eyes," he said. "It is the rarest beer in the world."
Dayton Daily News photographer Jim Witmer, a beer expert, says Westvleteren XII is a very big deal.
"It's crazy rare," he said. "Anybody who collects beer would like to get a hold of it."
Like several area shops, Belmont will also sell Stone's Vertical Epic 12-12-12, which is also known as Stone Vertical Epic Ale: The Final Chapter.
The beers are released "one year, one month and one day from the previous year's edition," according to Stone Brewing's website.
Belmont will also have beer from individual years and sets containing each of the Stone Vertical Epic beers going back from Vertical Epic 02-02-02. The price has not been determined.
Schwartz said the 12-12-12 beer will be the least expensive of all the editions. Like wine, the best beer gets better over time. Schwartz has beer in his personal collection worth as much as $500.
He is expecting strong business Wednesday.
Beer aficionados take things like this very seriously, he said.
"They actually know what was in the bottle they drank," he said. " Beer geeks are self-proclaimed beer geeks. There is probably no other customer who knows their product as well."

Comments about 18KW Sierra Ring:
This ring is gorgeous! It sparkles like crazy and I have been receiving compliments on it constantly. I liked this ring better than others I tried on because of the unique setting. It is not likely I will run into anyone with the same ring as I have. The bezel setting makes this ring look bigger than the actual stone size. I have a .69 and with the milgrain bezel, I have received more than a few comments about the ringing being huge and that that it looks like a full carat. Beyond the beauty, having the certification of the diamond makes me feel good knowing we got a pretty good deal on a unique, classic ring.

I am looking at doing a little truck trading. The one that I am looking to trader for is a 2001 1500 4x4. He says that it is a 5.3 with a standard shift 5 speed. I can't confirm that they ever offered a 5 speed behind the 5.3 in 2001. Any one have a little insight on this?
02-22-2010, 02:40 PM #2As far as I know they never offered a 5 speed manual with the 5.3. They did have it with the 4.8L though.

Holdout Sports:
Yesterday, we broke the news that Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper received a card from Chipotle Mexican Grill entitling him to "free burritos for life", based on a tweet that Harper sent out yesterday.
Well, the story was partially true. Harper did receive the card from Chipotle which entitles him to free burritos, but according to a Chipotle representative, the card is only good for a year.
Why did Harper think the card is good for life? We're willing to give Harper the benefit of the doubt for the mixup, so we'll wait for him to respond before commenting further.

Warm, durable slippers...
By: hfra
Acorn's typical quality shines through here- their thick fleece keeps feet warm, and the rubber sole and leather edging contribute to a longer-lasting slipper than many other models. They do run a little large, though- typically wearing a 12, I have about a half-size to spare in the "10 1/2 - 11 1/2" size.

The general consensus is that, whatever your opinion on the difficulty of "Escape From Closed Apartment", its way more difficult than the first attempt from the same game maker, "Escape From Open Apartment", in which you woke up in a strange apartment with an open door in front of you, and the only way to fail the game was to carefully not touch the mouse and to simply stare at the screen wishing you could escape...

In my head School Adventure Escape is a little like if you went to high school with Bruce & Jason and all the lessons involved side arms, blades or explosives. The school doesn't have a caretaker, it has a quartermaster, and the cafeteria only serves poison (much like any school).
