The Explosives Radio
The Explosives were one of the most popular bands on the Austin, TX new wave scene in the late '70s and early '80s, playing a high-energy mixture of power pop, roots rock, and rockabilly. The Explosives featured Cam King on guitar, Waller Collie on bass, and Freddie "Steady" Krc on drums, all of whom were seasoned veterans of the Texas music scene: Krc had performed on the road and in the studio with B.W. Stevenson and Jerry Jeff Walker; King was a member of the band Joker Moon and wrote the song "Circuit Queen," which appeared on Marcia Ball's first album (and in the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre); and Collie became friends with Krc when they were both touring the country circuit in the 1970s. In the summer of 1979, excited by the new pop-oriented sounds that were making themselves heard around Austin, Krc formed the Explosives with King and Collie (a fan of vintage clothing, he took the name from a bowling shirt he'd found) and, wasting no time, they released their first 7" EP featuring four original songs in August of that year. In 1979, Roky Erickson, legendary singer with the 13th Floor Elevators, returned to Austin after a long sojourn in San Francisco, and when he began playing live shows again, the Explosives were recruited to back him up. A collection of archival live recordings of Erickson with the Explosives, Halloween: Live 1979-1981, was released in 2008, and the Explosives did double duty on the 1979 album Live at Raul's (featuring performances by five leading Austin new wave bands), performing their own material as well as accompanying Erickson (though their songs with Roky wouldn't receive an authorized release until the album was reissued on CD in 1995). A second four-song EP, Push the Button, came out in February 1980, and a year later the single "Headhunter" b/w "A Girl Like You" arrived in stores. Stu Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival produced the Explosives' 1982 mini-album Restless Natives, which found the band buffing off some of its sharper edges, but by this time the bandmembers began drifting apart and they broke up within the year. Krc and King continued to work together, both as a duo act and in the Freddie Steady Five, while Krc fronted the bands Freddie Steady's Wild Country and the Shakin' Apostles. King focused on songwriting (his tunes have been recorded by country stars Garth Brooks and Lonestar) and operating his own recording studio. In 2005, Krc and King re-formed the Explosives, with Chris Johnson as their new bassist; a compilation of vintage live and studio recordings, KaBOOM!, soon followed, and when Roky Erickson returned to the concert stage that same year, the Explosives backed him up for a series of well-received concerts and festival dates. A second Explosives anthology, Three Ring Circus, was released in 2010. ~ Mark DemingPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

All I can say iz: OH MY GAWD…Fantomas flippin' RAWK! This review is based on seeing Fantomas last April (the album's theme!) and hearing "Suspended Animation" the ensuing days after show…( can I type: triple Whoa Brain Mania, doods!)? Strange & beautiful music; visceral & tighter than a miser w/rigor mortis. Hard & weird & angular. Mad scientific & mathematical song construction best compared to a punk/shred Zappa filtered through Dali's mustache. (OK, maybe not "best" described) Break neck pace, odd time signatures, virtuostic rock instrumentation & a telepathic band cohesiveness. Mike Patton IS THE BEST ROCK VOCALIST out there right now. PERIOD. Like there is NO COMEDY after Bill Hicks, I cannot imagine what vocal acrobats can follow what Patton now does. His truly amazing voice ( & I HATE vocalists!) ranges from a lilting chorale style for 7 ½ bars then careens on a knife edge into guttural Sasquatch scatting in the next 2 bars as it runs smack into amazing human beat box the next as he then croons like Der Bingle over the band's psychedelicore abstractions 10 seconds later. PLUS…he makes more sonic art with a confounding & outstanding use of samples and electronic SOUND MANIPULATION. His air sculpture of sound sets a theatrical back drop amidst the bands primal rawk artistry. VERY intense art rock; there's is a musical prowess muscularly hewn to the Nth degree of skill. 100s of song parts scientifically tinkered into a dizzying array post-punk math/theory/science rock. Dave Lombardo beats machine-like his 20+ piece drum/percussion kit that included perc-tools I've never seen: chimy brass sheets; a metal disc that makes metallic bean-splash ratchet noises; a trash can filled with metal shakers & then sampled to create odd rhythmic click tracks over which he frantically peppers the groove with bombastically HUGE drum percolations. Oof. Buzz (of Melvins fame) rages on his screech-N-scratch guitar through grindcore assault riffage and a turntablist's rhythmic sensibilities. He probably only soloed once and that lasted 1.3 seconds as his razor-edged shred squeaked and squealed delightfully behind Patton's intense vocalese. Bassist Trevor Dunn plies bass lines of sequoia-like marching booms all to military-quirk and almost-nonsensical time patterns…that dropped on & around the BEAT! Bam! Can't place his style anywhere but weirdly in the throng of this odd-rock monstrosity befitting Fantoma's musical & abstract godzilla of sound. Monster art rawk: a beautifully LOUD thang. "Suspended Animation" is prog- rock at it's most raw & artistic. A primal slice of rock performed by artists playing like volcanoes and this album is this Masterpiece Magma Ejecta hurled into our earholes to both confound and tickle our brains. Truly a PERFORMANCE piece both live & on CD: the listener's attention is apprehended and reprogrammed by this exceedingly progressive music that sounds little like anything else out there. Fans of twee keys and angelic choirs gird your minds with sonic flak gear because this music will assault your senses with crushingly virtuostic psychedelicore ART RAWK. Harder, louder & weirder has got to be one of this band's M.O.s – who can keep up with Fantomas?

The seas of change were in store for Indiana one way or another on election Tuesday, as the state was assured a new governor and new senator.
Much of the national focus centered in on the state as the senatorial battle between Republican nominee Richard Mourdock, Democrat Joe Donnelly, and Libertarian Andrew Horning.
Mourdock fared well within Hendricks County lines, carrying more than 54 percent of the vote, yet Donnelly won the U.S. Senate seat for the state.
"Joe's win is a reflection that Hoosiers want some Hoosier common sense in Washington. They don't care about party, they care about who is going to get the job done," said Ben Ray, press secretary for the Indiana Democratic Party.
He said Donnelly's chief task will be job creation.
"Joe's one focus is making sure every Hoosier that wants a job has a job," he promised.
Horning saw a successful campaign as a third party candidate but expressed regret that his message did not get out as well as he hoped, and urges Hoosiers to look deeper into the issues that are rarely talked about.
"It's frustrating because you always have hopes that people are going to crack that status quo habit. Yet they keep doing the same thing expecting better results," Horning said, noting that he doubled his numbers in 2012 from any past election he'd been a part of. "Every election cycle I hear the same words, that this time it's too close, too important, they'll vote Libertarian next time. It's not like we ever change our tune though. It's always been the Constitution against all the networks. But this is the best I've ever done and I can't complain about that at all."
In the gubernatorial race, Republican-elect Mike Pence cruised in Hendricks County, holding more than 61 percent of the vote, distancing himself from Democrat John Gregg and Libertarian Rupert Boneham.

5:36 am
During josh Freeman's weekly press conference Wednesday at One Buccaneer Place, Tampa Bay's signal caller discussed the two losses against Atlanta last season, the offense coming alive last week and facing fellow quarterback Matt Ryan.
Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman took to the podium on Wednesday for his regularly scheduled weekly press conference at One Buc Place and answered questions about Tampa Bay's upcoming game against their NFC rival Atlanta Falcons.
In last season's two matchups with the eventual NFC South champions, the Buccaneers came up short in both contests. Even though both games were close [27-21 at Atlanta, 28-24 at home] Freeman does not see this week's game against Atlanta as a revenge factor.
"Not so much," Freeman said. "It's a new year. Obviously the Falcons got us twice last year in two close games, but at the same time each game is its own separate deal. You're going to have to go into it with the open mentality of go out [and] try to execute plays as best as you can and try to win."
Tampa Bay's offense came alive in the second half of the Vikings game last week and Freeman is hoping it is a sign of things to come.
"Yes I think it could," Freeman said. "You never really know, but you prepare to go out and play complete games. That was really the first time all year that we were rolling like we know we can. That really reminds you of how we were playing late last season, having LeGarrette Blount rolling, getting the ball out to our play makers and having just all-around great effort by everybody."
With only six interceptions in all of 2010, Freeman has thrown two in two games so far this season, putting him on pace for 16 in 2011. A successful quarterback must have a short memory and it appears Tampa Bay's man under center, has the right mentality, but knows he must be smarter with the football.
"Picks are going to happen, but obviously you go out and you try not to throw them," Freeman said. "Honestly looking ahead I don't plan on throwing anymore the rest of the year. It's one of those things that happens. Once again it says a lot about our team. We threw the pick once driving down into the red zone [and] nobody panicked. There was never a thought that we were out of it because we turned the ball over in the red zone. That's something that can't happen. You got to find a way to play turnover-free football and when you do that it gives you a much better chance of winning."
The third-year quarterback praised fellow division quarterback Matt Ryan. Freeman is also aware that he will be potentially facing Matt Ryan for many seasons to come.
"It's how I foresee it," Freeman said. "He's a good quarterback. Love watching him play. He's got a unique style and he's very talented. He's a fun guy to watch and you almost don't like the fact that you are going to have to be playing against him for a long time."
While both quarterbacks have mutual respect for each other, Freeman's relationship with the Falcons' quarterback is really just a casual one.
"I talk to him before we play him," Freeman said. "That's about it. If I see him at an event -- depending on Super Bowl week [or] really whatever it is off the field -- we have a relationship. But it's not a guy that I text every week or anything like that."

The draft is usually the time when Chargers GM A.J. Smith shows off his expertise, restocking his already-loaded roster with quality depth all around.
This year, however, could be a bit different. Given the current state of the franchise, we hear Smith is feeling added pressure to come through with a crop of players who will be able to contribute right away.
One of the reasons for that is the lack of production the Bolts have received from their top draft picks since hitting on both OLB Shawne Merriman and DE Luis Castillo in 2005. Their first-round pick in '09, OLB Larry English, was a relative non-factor as a rookie, registering infrequent playing time and finishing with just two sacks. And while their '08 first-rounder, CB Antoine Cason, will be elevated to a starting role this season, he hasn't been a major player to this point, even losing his nickel corner job during the past campaign.
Smith's worst Round One selection came in '07, when he took WR Buster Davis, who has a whopping 30 catches and one touchdown in three seasons. And there's no doubting that '06 first-rounder CB Antonio Cromartie was a key part of San Diego's "D" during his stay there, but his attitude eventually made him more harm than good; the Bolts traded him for a third-round choice this offseason.
In addition to his spotty track record of late, Smith realizes that his club has more holes than it has had in many years. The release of RB LaDainian Tomlinson has created a massive void in the backfield, and cutting NT Jamal Williams leaves the defense without a space eater in the middle. The Chargers also lost free-agent role players like Kassim Osgood and Brandon Manumaleuna.
Knowing his team is getting older and the window for them to compete for a championship might be closing rapidly, Smith feels heat to come through with multiple starters during draft weekend, especially since he owns two of the first 40 selections. He laid very low in free agency, so the draft represents his best opportunity to solidify the Chargers' spot atop the AFC West.

Gearhouse In2Structures has launched a new Dome temporary venue, a versatile structure that can be transformed and configured according to the show or event's requirements.
Fully portable when in its circular format, the Dome's aesthetics make the space perfect for numerous uses and it is also well suited for use as a roof top structure. The structure is supported by trusses anchored directly into the ground and comes with full structural certification in all configurations.
The new Dome's curves have been redefined, the arches have been increased in width and made more lightweight whilst retaining all the structure's load-bearing capabilities.
The new wider arch opens the Dome venue's width to 25.7m (allowing for additional banqueting tables when used in that context) and increases the maximum roof height to 12 meters. A broader curve at the apex of the arch increases the rigging and hanging capacities and allows for a substantially larger stage, whilst still leaving a 12.5 meter deep backstage area that can be used for rear projection, dressing rooms, etc.
There are currently two different versions of the Dome Venue: the Maxi Dome and the Flat Truss FT Dome. The Maxi Dome uses rectangular box trussing and offers 25.7 meters wide, with a 12.5-meter apex height, and 5.1 meter bays determine the final length of the structure; the 12-bay version measures 87 meters internally.
Each arch can accommodate a 1,500-center point load or 2500kg uniformly distributed load (UDL) per arch truss, making the rigging of lighting, screens, set pieces, or scenery flexible and very accessible. The new design comfortably exceeds a 120km per hour wind rating. A 100m Maxi dome can be transported on 4 interlinking trailer combinations of 12 + 6 meters in length and weighs 90 tonnes.
The FT Dome is a more lightweight version assembled from flat truss sections which uses an innovative bracing method to achieve its strength. The 20-meter wide by 10-meter high clear-span structure achieves a 1500kg UDL per arch with the arch spacing "Bays" at 3 meter intervals. A 60 meter long FT Dome consists of the two round ends (20.6 meters) and thirteen 3 meter bays. It's assembled using pins instead of nuts and bolts (as the Maxi Dome).
The major difference is the cost and packing of this structure (a 60m x 20m FT dome weighs 20 tons and fits onto a single Interlink trailer.)
Multi layer membranes are white on the exterior and black Duraskin on the interior, providing a complete blackout for daytime events. A Teflon coating inside and out makes easy cleaning. The outer membranes slide into the aluminium extrusion and are raised above the trussing allowing easy access for rigging.
The In2Structures Dome structure includes the options of attachable mini domes as foyers, dressing rooms, and kitchens.
Gearhouse In2Structures has launched a new Dome temporary venue, a versatile structure that can be transformed and configured according to the show or event's requirements.

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen on Civil Rights
Republican Representative (FL-18)
Opponent's Argument for voting No (The Week; Huffington Post, and The Atlantic): House Republicans had objected to provisions in the Senate bill that extended VAWA's protections to lesbians, gays, immigrants, and Native Americans. For example, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) voted against the VAWA bill because it was a "politically–motivated, constitutionally-dubious Senate version bent on dividing women into categories by race, transgender politics and sexual preference." The objections can be grouped in two broadly ideological areas--that the law is an unnecessary overreach by the federal government, and that it represents a "feminist" attack on family values. The act's grants have encouraged states to implement "mandatory-arrest" policies, under which police responding to domestic-violence calls are required to make an arrest. These policies were intended to combat the too-common situation in which a victim is intimidated into recanting an abuse accusation. Critics also say VAWA has been subject to waste, fraud, and abuse because of insufficient oversight.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. CASTOR: The march towards equality under the law for all of our citizens has sometimes been slow, but it has been steady. Over time, Congress has outlawed discrimination in the workplace, based upon a person's race, gender, age, national origin, religion and disability, because when it comes to employment, these decisions are rightly based upon a person's qualifications and job performance. This legislation that outlaws job discrimination based upon sexual orientation was first introduced over 30 years ago. A broad coalition of businesses and community organizations strongly support this landmark civil rights legislation, including the Human Rights Campaign; the Anti-Defamation League; and the NAACP.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. HASTINGS: Federal law bans job discrimination based on race, color, national origin, or gender. In addition, 19 States have passed laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. I strongly oppose discrimination in the workplace. However, I do not think it is the place of the Federal Government to legislate how each and every workplace operates. A number of States have enacted State laws in this area. That is their right. Many businesses have chosen to adopt their own policies. That is appropriate as well. This bill as written would expand Federal law into a realm where PERCEPTION would be a measure under discrimination law [which I consider inappropriate].
Proponents support voting YES because:
The overwhelming majority of the American people support traditional marriage, marriage between a man and a woman. The people have a right to know whether their elected Representatives agree with them about protecting traditional marriage.
Every child deserves both a father and a mother. Studies demonstrate the utmost importance of the presence of a child's biological parents in a child's happiness, health and future achievements. If we chip away at the institution which binds these parents and the family together, the institution of marriage, you begin to chip away at the future success of that child.
Opponents support voting NO because:
This amendment does not belong in our Constitution. It is unworthy of our great Nation. We have amended the Constitution only 27 times. Constitutional amendments have always been used to enhance and expand the rights of citizens, not to restrict them. Now we are being asked to amend the Constitution again, to single out a single group and to say to them for all time, you cannot even attempt to win the right to marry.
From what precisely would this amendment protect marriage? From divorce? From adultery? No. Evidently, the threat to marriage is the fact that there are millions of people in this country who very much believe in marriage, who very much want to marry but who are not permitted to marry. I believe firmly that in the not-too-distant future people will look back on these debates with the incredulity with which we now view the segregationist debates of years past.
Our ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 HRC scores as follows:
The Human Rights Campaign represents a grassroots force of more than 700,000 members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, HRC envisions an America where GLBT people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.
Ever since its founding in 1980, HRC has led the way in promoting fairness for GLBT Americans. HRC is a bipartisan organization that works to advance equality based on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 NAACP scores as follows:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has worked over the years to support and promote our country's civil rights agenda. Since its founding in 1909, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to end racial discrimination while also ensuring the political, social, and economic equality of all people. The Association will continue this mission through its policy initiatives and advocacy programs at the local, state, and national levels. From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard.

Ros-Lehtinen signed AFER amicus brief and Daily News coverage
[Many] conservative leaders are signatories to an "amicus brief" calling on the Supreme Court to overturn Prop. 8. Enacted in November 2008, Proposition 8 eliminated the fundamental freedom of gay and lesbian Californians to marry. The American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) prepared an "amicus," or a "friend of the court" brief: a letter to the Supreme Court outlining a position on a pending case. AFER prepared this amicus brief, in support of gay marriage, and the "amici" signed it prior to sending to the Supreme Court.
"Many of the signatories to this brief previously did not support civil marriage for same-sex couples; others did not hold a considered position on the issue," the brief said. "However, in the years since Massachusetts and other States have made civil marriage a reality for same-sex couples, amici, like many Americans, have reexamined the evidence and their own positions and have concluded that there is no legitimate, fact-based reason for denying same-sex couples the same recognition in law that is available to opposite-sex couples."
AFER is dedicated to protecting and advancing equal rights for every American. As the sole sponsor of the federal court challenge of California's Proposition 8, now known as Hollingsworth v. Perry, AFER is leading the fight for marriage equality and equality under the law for every American. Building bi-partisan support has been part of AFER's mission ever since the filing of its federal constitutional challenge to overturn Proposition 8.

Security and Defense: A well-oiled machine
06/28/2012 22:31
How the police spent over a decade developing the world's most sophisticated anti-rocket and counter-terrorism response.

During times of escalation, the terrorists target major cities, though they must now try to circumvent the invisible protective layer around urban centers in the form of the Iron Dome anti-rocket system.
Every time a rocket slams into southern Israel, the southern police district's officers spring into action.
Today, the officers look skeptically at the lull in the fighting, and believe it is only a temporary respite.
Police have not returned to routine deployment in the South, and remain on standby in greater-than-usual numbers around Eilat and the Philadelphi corridors, in line with recent incidents and intelligence evaluations.
The police view their role in confronting rockets and terror attacks from Gaza and Sinai as semi-military, and work to swiftly contain incidents in Israeli territory in order to allow the IDF to focus its efforts on stopping the attackers on the borders and beyond them.
When Palestinian terrorists fired their first rocket into southern Israel 11 years ago, southern district police had no clear response plan.
"Back then, there were no systems and we working blindly," said bomb squad unit officer Ch.-Supt. Yigal Turgerman.
Police began locating the remains of rockets based on phone-in reports from local residents. Today, when a rocket lands in the police's southern district – the largest district, covering 60 percent of the country – a well-oiled machine goes into action.
The improved police response is a reflection of what police officers call the "routine emergency" that has become a way of life for hundreds of thousands of southern Israelis under rocket threat.
"The threat has become much more developed. There are Gaza-made rockets and rockets imported from several hostile countries," Turgerman said.
"All of them carry warheads of various sizes designed to fall in built-up areas and cause damage and injuries," he added.
When the air raid siren rings out, bomb squad officers initially respond like all other civilians: they take cover.
Turgerman lives in a village that is well within rocket range. When he hears the siren, he takes cover with his family in a safe room, makes sure everyone in his home is okay and then rushes out to the rocket scene.
"We're all from the South and we know this routine," he said. Unlike in 2001, when police had to rely on eye-witness reports to find the rockets, today the bomb squad officers are linked up to the IDF Home Front Command's advanced radars, which provide precise data on rocket impact locations.
"We don't have the privilege of having a set response time to rockets. We just have to be there as quickly as possible, because the public is in danger," Turgerman explained.
Once on the scene, bomb squad officers first ensure that the rocket has already exploded. Then the projectile is examined and catalogued.
If the type of rocket is known, it is added to an ever-growing database. If it is a new type of rocket, a mobile explosives lab is called to the site and an in-depth investigation is launched, which continues back at the bomb squad's lab.
A report is later composed and sent out to police national headquarters as well as to the IDF and intelligence services.
During times of escalation, as occurred this month, when over 160 rockets landed in the South, other police districts send their bomb squad units to reinforce their southern counterparts. This allows for reasonable response times. Police will also prioritize their responses to rockets that fall in cities, where dangers to lives are far greater.
"This is the response we have developed over the years," Turgerman said. "At the end of the day, it's about saving lives."
Another key element of the response strategy is the fact that police coordinate all of their activities with the other emergency services; Magen David Adom paramedics, firefighters, Home Front Command officials and the intelligence services.
"We go to the scene together with them and hold joint evaluations with their representatives.
We hold joint exercises with the other emergency services almost every month," said Asst.-Cmdr. Doron Ben-Amo, spokesman for the southern district.
"Building up these connections is very important to the district chief, Cmdr.
Yossi Prienti," Ben-Amo said. "All the services work like a single fist directed to the scene."
On a regular basis, Prienti sits down with military and intelligence representatives, and the other emergency services, at his office in Beersheba to prepare the police's operational readiness. During the meetings, he hears the latest intelligence assessments.
"Our police district has the highest number of problematic borders. We border Gaza, Egypt and Jordan. Whether we like it or not, this requires precise readiness.
This quiet is very fragile," Ben-Amo warned. "If one Grad rocket falls and the IDF responds, we could be back in an escalation.
Within an hour to two hours, we must be in a different mode," he added.
Asst.-Cmdr Ilan Peretz, head of the southern district's operations branch, is the key man responsible for transforming the police's focus from ordinary crimefighting to a key counter-terrorism force within a few hours.
"We have lived under this threat, like the rest of the area's residents, for years. Escalations are a matter of time. This is the emergency routine we live in," Peretz told The Jerusalem Post.
The key to going into counter-terrorism and rocket response mode is to supply every southern police station commander and other senior officials with clear instructions on what to do, he said.
"Take the last terror attack on the Egyptian border fence on June 18 as an example.
We're used to the fact that in attacks of this nature, the IDF responds and we get into a security escalation. We deploy additional patrol units in cities and the Gaza border communities, and place special police forces in city centers," Peretz said.
"After an IDF response to a terror attack, our evaluations can end with the conclusion that a national escalation is underway," he added.
In such cases, volunteers are called up in cities from Eilat to Ashdod, while Border Police forces are also deployed. Traffic Police maintain a higher presence on the roads, according to Peretz.
During times of sporadic rocket fire, the Israel Police maintains jurisdiction on the ground, but during significant military confrontations, the IDF Home Front Command takes control and the police become a tool at the IDF's disposal.
Asked if all of these measures damage normal civilian crime fighting efforts, Peretz maintained that criminal incidents still receive full police attention. Over the past week, for example, despite the rise in tensions, police raided Beduin areas searching for weapons. Over the past weekend, police cracked down on drunk driving.
"We don't abandon the criminal front.
We can't stop serving the public in combatting crime," he said.
Nevertheless, resources for crime fighting are depleted during heightened tensions.
"Unfortunately, we can't be in every place at the same time. I can understand a citizen who dials 100 and wants to see a unit arrive because of an attack or because he sees a suspicious person. I don't think the public is interested in the pressure that the police deals with, and I understand that," Peretz said.
National police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld added, "The southern district deals with the constant threat of rockets. Our units maintain a rapid response time, thus protecting the public in the South."
These well-evolved tools seem set to be employed again in the not-too-distant future, as arms continue to enter the Gaza Strip and terrorist groups expand their base of operations in the Sinai Peninsula.

I wanted to attend a school that was well known and highly regarded, not only among the Dallas community but also nationally. Additionally, many of the executives in my current organization received graduate degrees from SMU Cox. I value their leadership and am thankful to have learned similar content from many of the same professors.
SMU is not only a beautiful campus, but also the quality of the professors and course material, including the ability to choose a concentration, was very important to me. Finally, the international courses and immersion trips were an incredible way to learn business practices first-hand in other cultures.

Taking care of a senior family member alone can be very taxing.
New research from a local caregiving program in Billings says when a large number of caregivers don't express their emotions or stress, it can lead to serious health problems. According to Home Instead Senior Care Owner Jean Holmquist, Home Instead Senior Care provides non-medical in home care services for seniors, and they're launching a campaign to minimize caregiver stress.
"There's a quiz on line and they can take it to see how involved they are and if they are a caregiver," says Holmquist.
Holmquist says she wants to help alleviate that stress of caregiving because it can often cause depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
"There's other articles there and educational pieces to help them find the help that they need and support and how monitor their physical health and mental health," says Holmquist.
77-year-old Betty Beven didn't want to ask for help, but was glad when she finally did.
"And you don't know what to do because it's just too much. And I hated to ask for home care," says Beven.
A caregiver comes in three hours a day, once a week to help out Betty and her husband Tom.
Since Betty contacted home instead, she's been able to have her own "girl" time, and its helped with the stress.
"You've got to laugh once a day, at least. And Tom and I laugh at the craziest things but you do. You have to have a sense of humor," says Beven.
Caregivers can ask for help through Home Instead Care to see if they can end their own quiet suffering, and learn to starting laughing again. To find out for information on Home Instead Senior care click on Connections.

WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- The US Senate approved a bill Monday which could bring an end to tax-free shopping for many online shoppers.
The Marketplace Fairness Act requires retailers to collect a sales tax on items for the state where they're sending the purchase.
The bill now has to pass the GOP-led House in order to become law. It may face opposition from lawmakers who view it as a tax increase.
Under current law, online shoppers can make purchases mostly tax-free from E-commerce web sites.

Talks between PTI and Government suspended
22 August, 2014
ISLAMABAD: War of nerves between the PML-N government and twin-march leadership (PTI and PAT) staging a sit-in at Constitution Avenue peaked on Thursday as talks could not formally resume amidst fears of a looming crackdown on the marchers.
The government, however, kept open the back channel communication with both the PTI and PAT, asking leaders of both the parties to return to the parleys – both didn't comply, even though Dr Qadri claimed he had not shut t ...

Fact Sheet
July 24, 2012
What Is Essiac?
Essiac is a tea made from four herbs. A Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse developed it in 1922. She said the formula originally came from an Ojibwa Indian medicine man. She named it after the backward spelling of her own last name, Caisse. The 4 main herbs in Essiac are burdock root (Arctium lappa), Indian or Chinese rhubarb (Rheum palmatum), sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), and the inner bark of slippery elm (Ulmus fulva or Ulmus rubra).
Burdock root is used in folk medicine to improve digestion, to clean the blood, to increase urination, or as a laxative. Laboratory studies have shown some anti-tumor effects. Rhubarb can be a strong laxative. Sheep sorrel is claimed to be effective against cancer. Slippery elm has a long, safe history in alleviating sore throats. It is used in many herbal cough drops or teas for sore throats.
Caisse used the herbal tea to treat patients with cancer. Some of them claimed to be cured; others said the herbal tea eased their pain. In 1938 in Canada, a bill was introduced to authorize Caisse to treat cancer. Instead, the legislature passed a bill that required her to disclose the formula for Essiac. She refused to do so. In 1977, she sold the formula to a Canadian corporation, Resperin.
Essiac is widely available as an herbal health food, without any specific health claims. There are several different versions of the product. There are also many claims and counterclaims about authenticity. In 2000, the US Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against a distributor of Essiac for misleading health claims on several web sites.
How Is Essiac Used?
Many providers of Essiac claim that the only correct way to use the product is to drink a freshly brewed tea, one to three times a day on an empty stomach. Essiac is available in liquid form but is also sometimes sold as a mixture of herbs to be boiled and steeped by the user, or in capsule form.
Caisse reportedly had several variations of the recipe to treat different forms of cancer. Some versions of Essiac have more than the original four ingredients. The added ingredients are supposed to enhance the product's effectiveness and improve its taste. Two common additions are watercress and Pau d'arco. Yellow dock or curly dock are sometimes used instead of sheep's sorrel.
Advocates of Essiac suggest using it only if it is made in small batches with the freshest possible ingredients. They also disagree with using Essiac pills, capsules, or tea bags.
What Are the Benefits of Essiac?
Proponents of Essiac claim that it strengthens the immune system, improves appetite, relieves pain, and improves overall quality of life. They also claim that it shrinks tumors and prolongs the lives of people with cancer.
Why Do People With HIV Use Essiac?
All of the claims that Essiac can help people with HIV seem to have come from Dr. Gary Glum, a chiropractor. In 1988 he wrote "Calling of an Angel," a biography of Rene Caisse. Glum claims to have treated several AIDS patients with Essiac with good results. No report of this study was published.
What Are the Side Effects?
There are no recorded side effects from the use of Essiac. In 1982, the Canadian Department of National Health and Welfare authorized the availability of Essiac on a "compassionate use" basis. Their decision was based in part on the lack of reports of problems in 78 patients who used Essiac between 1978 and 1982.
How Does It Interact With Other Therapies?
There are no known interactions between Essiac and medications or other herbs. However, most interactions between herbs and medications have not been studied. Tell your health care provider if you are using herbal supplements.
How Do We Know It Works?
Essiac is supported by many personal testimonials from cancer patients, but there are no careful scientific studies. Resperin Corporation received approval in 1978 from the Canadian government to study Essiac in humans. This permission was withdrawn four years later when the studies were not proceeding as expected. The Canadian Government does not consider Essiac to be an effective cancer treatment.
There are no reports of research studies in people with HIV infection. On the other hand, laboratory studies of the herbs used in Essiac document some anti-tumor effects. Carefully designed research studies are needed.
The Bottom Line
Essiac is a tea originally made from four herbs. A Canadian nurse developed it in 1922 and used it to treat many cancer patients. Essiac is claimed to strengthen the immune system, relieve pain, and shrink cancerous tumors. Despite many personal reports of health benefits from Essiac, there are no scientific studies to support its use.
Essiac appears to be safe to use. It is available in several forms, based on different recipes, from competing providers. Prices vary widely. Be sure to obtain a complete list of ingredients.

SC Show Cause on Generals
June 10 – The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a show cause notice to the government asking why it decided to extend the tenure of eight Army generals. A single bench of Justice Rana Bahadur Bom issued the notice in response to a public interest litigation filed on Sunday challenging the June 5 decision of the government to extend the term of the eight Army generals who were pensioned off by the Maoist-led government. In his litigation, Raju Thapa had argued that the government decision should be stayed for two reasons: it was a sub-judice case and it was unconstitutional decision as the decision violated the Article 43 of Interim Constitution, which states that the government has to function based on consensus among the major political parties, including the UCPN (Maoist). … go to complete original article

This Friday, the Braves will host the inaugural National League Wild Card Game*. Their opponent will presumably be the Cardinals, although the Dodgers still have an outside chance for the second spot. The Wild Card Game counts as its own round for the purposes of roster construction, which opens up a wealth of strategic options that no team has had to consider before.
* I'm assuming for the purposes of this post that the Braves won't defy the odds and win the NL East title.
Below, I offer my ideal 25-man roster for the Wild Card Game, as well as a few suggestions for how Fredi Gonzalez can best utilize the available players to maximize the team's chances of winning. This roster is constructed specifically to face the Cardinals and their 2 possible starters for the game, Kyle Lohse and Lance Lynn.
Starters (9)
- OF: Martin Prado, Michael Bourn, Jason Heyward
- IF: Chipper Jones, Andrelton Simmons, Dan Uggla, Freddie Freeman
- C: Brian McCann or David Ross
- SP: Kris Medlen
The outfield and infield are pretty obvious here. Assuming everyone's healthy, those 7 guys are no-brainers.
If the Cardinals start Lynn (who'd be pitching on normal rest), I'd give the edge to McCann. Lynn has a huge platoon split: a minuscule 2.09 FIP against RH hitters, but a terrible 4.88 FIP against LH hitters. So assuming McCann is physically up to par, I'd start him. If the Cards start Lohse (5 days rest), I would opt for Ross instead. Lohse has a much smaller career platoon split (4.12 FIP vs. LHH, 4.50 FIP vs. RHH), including no split at all the past two seasons, and Ross has no split to speak of either.
As for Medlen on the mound, I don't see how you can really argue that call (which the Braves have already basically made official). When a guy has a 0.97 ERA as a starter across 12 starts, all of them Braves wins... how could you choose anyone else? Dave Cameron's "start Kimbrel" idea is intriguing, but frankly unnecessary. A team with no real ace would do well to consider such a plan, though.
Bullpen (9)
- RHPs: Craig Kimbrel, Cristhian Martinez, Chad Durbin, Cory Gearrin, Tim Hudson
- LHPs: Eric O'Flaherty, Luis Avilan, Jonny Venters, Mike Minor
Kimbrel, Martinez, Durbin, O'Flaherty, and Avilan are pretty self-explanatory. Venters kind of scares me, but he's pitched well in his last 6 outings (7.2 scoreless IP), so he makes it. Gearrin is in there as a ROOGY; since the Cardinals' best hitters are nearly all right-handed (Yadier Molina, Allen Craig, David Freese, Matt Holliday), the Braves can definitely use him.
Here's my rationale for the two starting pitchers on the list. They'll both be pitching on extra rest (I'm assuming Hudson doesn't actually start the season finale). Plus, they've been clearly the 2nd and 3rd best starters the past 2 months. Hudson, since he's right-handed and so good at inducing grounders, will be particularly helpful to have around.
I'd prefer to limit Hudson's and Minor's exposure in the WC game, so they can be fresh for the NLDS. However, this is an "all hands on deck" situation; you can't be too shy about using the guys who give you the best chance of winning.
I would also be sure to let all the guys know that they need to be ready at any time; regular-season roles have to go out the window for this one. If there is a critical situation at any point in the game, Kimbrel has to be the first guy out of the 'pen. He's the best reliever in baseball; you can't put the season on anyone else's shoulders until he's had his crack at it.
Bench (7)
- Backup Catchers: Ross/McCann, J.C. Boscan
- Other Reserves: Juan Francisco, Reed Johnson, Eric Hinske, Jose Constanza, Tyler Pastornicky
I've included J.C. Boscan for 2 reasons: 1) to free the Braves to pinch-run for Ross & McCann in any high-leverage situation, and 2) for some classic Francisco Cabrera mojo.
Johnson and Francisco are the obvious choices for the top RH and LH pinch-hitters. They should only hit against opposite-handed pitchers if at all possible, and should be saved for high-leverage spots.
Hinske has had an awful season, but honestly the Braves don't have many options from the left side, so he makes it in the hope that he can recreate his NLDS Game 3 magic from 2 years ago. Constanza is the other left-handed option; he's also a good pinch-running possibility.
The lefty backups are going to be crucial, since the Cardinals' left-handed pitching options are limited to basically Marc Rzepczynski (who's just OK), Jaime Garcia (a starter on 3 days' rest), and Sam Freeman (a rookie with a 5.68 ERA). Their best pitchers are all righties.
The last spot goes to Pastornicky based on his ability to play the middle infield and the fact that he'd be a decent pinch-running option. He's basically taking Paul Janish's spot here.
Well, that's what I would do if I were Frank Wren and Fredi Gonzalez. What does everyone else think?

Texas Rangers all time great Jim Sundberg was in Tyler on Tuesday speaking at the Cavenders Leadership Conference. Sundberg is a three time all star and member of the Rangers Hall of Fame. Sundberg is in the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame, and caught for eleven Hall of Fame pitchers.
The former catcher is currently the Rangers Senior Executive Vice President. Sundberg is excited about the Rangers surge into first place, despite the 50 game suspension of Nelson Cruz.
"I think that if you violate it you pay the consequences, said Sundberg. "Having talked to Mr. (Bud) Selig last week, it's a hard thing to do but it's the right thing to do. This year may end up looking back on as the teflon year. No matter what injury or the Nelson Cruz deal, we still continue to win."
