Brazil is the largest country in South America in area and population. It was one of the world's fastest-growing economic powerhouses from 2000 to 2010, but the boom appeared to sputter in 2011. The country's meteoric rise occurred under the stewardship of Luiz Inacio da Silva, who served as president from 2002 to 2011.
Brazil's current administration, headed by Dilma Rousseff, has faced discontent from a growing middle class over its preparations for the World Cup in 2014 and an array of lavish projects conceived when economic growth was surging that now stand abandoned, stalled or wildly over budget.

I have confused myself at this stage, so forgive me if this is a bit garbled.
My understanding has been that you cannot carry out works that are normally exempt concurrently with implementing a planning permission. I understood that exempted development cannot contravene a condition of a planning permission and given that the first condition usually says that the application must be implemented in accordance with the plans and particulars submitted, development that would normally be exempt would not comply with that first condition. The other part of that argument is that you can only carry out exempted development on existing building and uses, not those that are under construction or in the process of being altered in accordance with a planning permission.
I am in a circular argument with somebody, where I cant properly explain why any of that makes any sense, given that you could carry out the exempted development before or after implementing the planning permission. I can't find anything in the acts or regulations that prevents exempted development being carried out concurrently with a planning permission. Is there something I am missing? Is there a case which clarifies this? Or is it just a matter of custom and practice?

- Injured Maybin may return next week
- Moseley, Harang questionable for next starts
- Padres sign 18 draftees
SAN DIEGO -- It didn't take long for Anthony Rizzo to conquer the PETCO Park fences -- nine plate appearances, to be exact.
In the bottom of the second inning, Rizzo swung on the first pitch from Nationals starter John Lannan, a 92-mph fastball low and inside.
The result? A 378-foot bomb over the right-field wall and Rizzo's first Major League home run.
"When I hit it, yeah, I know I got it pretty good, and it got over," Rizzo said. "So I was happy. Very happy."
Rizzo has impressed the Padres with his patience and poise at the plate, and the Nationals have also come away with the same feeling after his first three games.
"It was a four-seam [fastball]," Lannan said. "I was trying to throw it away. He put a good swing on it. He hit it. He has impressed us with the way he has handled each at-bat in this series. He is going to be really good."
Rizzo rounded the bases and got a high-five from the Padres' next batter, Nick Hundley, on his way back to the dugout. Rizzo had 16 home runs in 52 games with Triple-A Tucson before being called up by the Padres on Thursday.
After his third game, Rizzo is 3-for-7 with four walks, three strikeouts and a hit-by-pitch. His three hits are a triple off the left-center-field wall, a home run and a double down the right-field line. Though his sample size is small, Rizzo is batting .429 with a .667 on-base percentage.
"It was good to see," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He hit it to one of the biggest parts of the park, so it shows his power. And then the double down the line ... I mean, that's the thing we saw in Spring Training: all-field hitting, all-field power ... and there's pull power as well."
The home run moved the Padres within one run of the Nationals, but it was the only run San Diego scored in its 2-1 loss on Saturday.
After the game, the 21-year-old lefty was able to retrieve his first home run ball. In exchange, Rizzo offered an autographed bat and some signed baseballs.
"It's more important for my family [to get the ball back]," Rizzo said. "I'm going to probably give it to my parents. I'm really more happy for them than I am for myself."
Injured Maybin may return next week
SAN DIEGO -- Center fielder Cameron Maybin, who was placed on the disabled list with right knee inflammation retroactive to May 28, appears close to returning to the Padres.Maybin began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tucson Friday night. He played center field and hit leadoff, going 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout over five innings. "I didn't talk to Cam," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He did fine -- 0-for-2, walk, strikeout. I think he felt fine. I didn't talk to [Tucson manager Terry Kennedy] ... but nothing went bad, put it that way." The injury to Maybin is swelling in the bursa sac of his right knee, a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a buffer between the tendon and the patella, or knee bone. It serves as a gliding surface to reduce friction. If Maybin's rehab continues to progress at the rate it is, Black said he may rejoin the team in Colorado, which is the first stop in the team's upcoming nine-game road trip. "Don't know which day though," he said. "Monday, or Tuesday or Wednesday."
Moseley, Harang questionable for next starts
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres may have two starting pitchers miss their next scheduled starts.Dustin Moseley has been on the fence for the last few days after he dislocated his left shoulder on June 8. Aaron Harang's next start is uncertain as he deals with pain in his right foot. "We're giving [Moseley] and Harang time, because we don't need to tell the other players [who may start in their place] yet," manager Bud Black said. "There is a possibility that we might have a starter on Monday and we might have a starter on Tuesday different from Moseley and Harang." Black was ready to declare Moseley out of his next start, and actually did, before Moseley interrupted Black's pregame session with the media. "You just told them that?" Moseley asked. "Why?" "Because it's not going to happen," Black responded. "We'll talk later, Buddy," Moseley said. Black said that interaction was enough to delay his decision. Moseley is going to play catch Saturday, and the team should have a decision on him and Harang by Sunday, before they head out to Colorado for the first leg of their road trip. As for Harang, his foot pain dates back to his June 4 start against the Astros. He isn't sure when or how he injured his right foot, but he's been feeling it since. He said it didn't bother him much in Thursday's start, and X-rays and an MRI exam came back negative. "It's in the top, and I mean, it radiates through the foot every time I hit when I go to take off running," Harang said. "It kind of sends a quick shock through my foot." Black mentioned Wade LeBlanc from Triple-A Tucson and other Minor Leaguers as possible replacements should Moseley or Harang not be able to go. He also has Cory Leubke as an option in the Padres' bullpen.
Padres sign 18 draftees
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres have signed 18 of the 53 picks they selected during last week's First-Year Player Draft.Other than the big signing of first-rounder Cory Spangenberg on Friday, the Padres have agreed to terms with Jace Peterson, a compensation-round pick and the 58th overall selection. Peterson, a 21-year-old infielder from McNeese State, hit .335 (75-for-224) and scored 67 runs for the Cowboys in 2011. He also gives the Padres, like Spangenberg, another left-handed bat. A rundown of the Padres' signings thus far: Cory Spangenberg, 2B, Indian River State College, Round 1

By STEPHANIE BEECKEN6 News Reporter
JACKSBORO (WATE) - A suicide note said to be written by the suspect in the 2005 Campbell County High School shooting will not be allowed as evidence in his trial.
A judge made that decision at a motions hearing for Kenneth Bartley Friday morning.
Attorney Greg Isaacs said his office was not provided with the note, which is a page from a composition book, until January 23, 2014, some eight years after Kenneth Bartley's arrest.
Isaacs said the note, in which Bartley claims his father loved his then-girlfriend more than he loved him, was not dated and prejudicial.
Isaacs says the state would try to use the apparent suicide letter to try and show Bartley's state of mind at the time of the shooting.
"This letter is going to be used to show that his intent was to bring a gun to school because he was going to do something to result in the end of his life," said Isaacs.
Isaacs says the letter isn't dated and cannot be linked to Bartley's state of mind at the time of the shooting.
In the letter, Bartley wrote that he wanted to be cremated after a funeral. He also wrote one reason for his depression is a woman named Christy, saying his dad loved Christy more than him and it drove him crazy.
Kenny Bartley's father took the stand to testifying that he wasn't dating a woman named Christy during the time of the shooting.
Isaacs asked, "In the year of 2005 at any time were you dating that individual that's referenced in the composition page by your son?"
"No." replied the defendant's father, Kenny Bartley.
The judge granted the motion. The letter will be kept out of the new trial.
The prosecution also asked the judge not allow any witness statements concerning statements made by the defendant, saying the statements are hearsay.
The defense argued experts like a psychologist would need to use the statements Bartley made in the past.
The judge said any statements made by the defendant will be decided whether or not to be allowed in as evidence away from the jury.
Bartley is accused of bringing a .22-calibre handgun to Campbell County High School in November 2005, then firing at three administrators.
Assistant Principal Ken Bruce was killed. Principal Gary Seale and Assistant Principal Jim Pierce were wounded.
Jim Pierce, who was shot in the chest, says the shooting has impacted him both physically and emotionally.
"I have some things that happened to me that have bothered me physically to some extent but it's a very emotional thing. It's been a little over eight years and it's something you think about almost daily," said Pierce.
Bartley pleaded guilty to the shootings in a plea deal, but was granted a new trial in June 2011.
The jury will be selected from Hamilton County on February 21 with the trial to start in Campbell County on February 24.
Shooting victim Jim Pierce isn't looking forward to going through it all again at trial.
"Just the fact of having to go through it again and some of the people who will have to be brought into it, I hate for them to be confronted with all this again too," said Pierce.

LEE COUNTY: A 21 year veteran of the Lee County Sheriff's Office resigned after an internal affairs investigation revealed a pattern of demeaning, disrespectful and abusive behavior towards subordinates.
Captain Gary Kamp of the Operational and Tactical Support Division submitted his resignation effective Wednesday.
In October 2010, a major spoke with Kamp about his demeanor and treatment of subordinates. He was instructed to correct his behavior without intimidating, threatening or attempting to investigate who spoke with the major about his behavior.
On November 17, 2010, the major learned things had gotten worse and that Kamp had questioned a sergeant for two hours about who spoke with the major.
Kamp was transferred from his position in the Training Unit to headquarters and was instructed not to contact anyone under his command.
On November 18, when a lieutenant turned in statements concerning the allegations against Kamp, the major learned Kamp had contacted the lieutenant that day. The supervisory inquiry was terminated and the information was forwarded to internal affairs for a formal investigation.
Kamp was investigated on allegations of insubordination: prompt compliance with a lawful order, insubordination: abusiveness and improper conduct: conduct unbecoming an officer/member.
Insubordination: Prompt compliance with a lawful order
On November 17, Kamp acknowledged he was not to contact anyone under his command, but proceeded to call four people under his command, and sent 22 emails to his subordinates giving direction on work related issues between November 17 and 29.
In a sworn statement on December 29, Kamp said he admitted to sending the emails and said he didn't feel email was a valid form of communication. He said he thought it was ok to email and call as long as he didn't discuss the investigation.
Insubordination: Abusiveness
On November 18, Internal Affairs received five written statements from members of the training unit, who were subordinates of Kamp. In their statements, they alleged Kamp used demeaning, disrespectful and abusive language and gestures toward and in front of subordinates. The statements described a hostile work environment where employees were afraid for their jobs, feared retaliation and were intimidated by Kamp.
Internal Affairs interviewed three civilian employees and seven certified employees. The civilian employees said they didn't feel personally demeaned by Kamp, but two stated they saw and felt the tension in the unit. They said the work environment was tense, on edge and saw the effect it had on certified members. They said one lieutenant looked beat up and red in the face. Other certified members looked "ready to pop."
One of the civilian employees also felt there would be repercussions from Kamp after the investigation because she believed he would find a way to get someone back. Another civilian employee said Kamp's mood changed from day to day and the stress affected the certified members.
Of the seven certified members, five said their work environment was tense, stressful, miserable and distracting. One sergeant said he had noticed several members become withdrawn and stressed over the last few months. Several said they were ready to put in a letter of transfer due to Kamp's treatment.
Two members said they didn't see abusive behavior by Kamp had little interaction with him on a regular basis.
Specific allegations include
Members of the training unit said Kamp was vindictive and able to make or break their career. Those with the most interaction with Kamp said the fear of losing their career and having a target on their back was causing stress and medical issues. Four of the five said they could not work under Kamp any more and wanted transferred out of the unit.
In his statement on December 29, 2010, Kamp denied most of the allegations. He denied making demeaning statements. He said whether or not someone felt demeaned was a matter of perception, that if he thought his comments were making people feel demeaned he wouldn't have made them. He said his "delivery system with his sense of humor is not well received as he thinks it is or should be.
He also said the abusiveness allegations stem from a group that engaged in drama and has taken it as far as they can.
Improper conduct: Conduct unbecoming an officer
On November 18, a statement by a deputy revealed Kamp took a picture of a female corporal and zoomed in on her breasts and buttocks while making inappropriate comments.
Kamp showed the photos to a lieutenant and a deputy and said "that's team building, that's motivation" and both said they felt this was inappropriate.
When the woman was advised of the incident she said she was flattered and was not offended in any way.
Kamp admitted to taking the photos, but said he did not make any comments about motivation. He said it was a bad decision on his part.
The conclusion of the Internal Affairs investigation report revealed all three allegations against Kamp were substantiated.

The San Jose Sharks have taken Eastern Junior Hockey League Rookie of the Year Charlie Coyle with the 28th overall selection. Somewhat of a surprising pick which still seems to be the theme of this year's first round, Coyle had 63 points in 42 games in the EJHL and will be attending Boston College in the fall.
In Lou We Trust, our New Jersey Devils site, has these things and more to say about Coyle
Ultimately, I am led to believe that he could end up breaking through as a bottom six winger. Not exactly an exciting outcome, but he may be far more likely to get there in that role than other prospects in this range. How his offense develops could determine how high he gets. Coyle was productive in his league, and he was able to produce a few goals in international play and get invited to the evaluation camp for the US WJC team. That's not nothing.
Coyle is a work in progress for the Sharks and may be able to break the team in three or four years.

I try to be fair, so in fairness, let me disclaim that i'm not an elite swimmer and i'm a pretty big guy (6'2" 230 lbs). That said, i can't keep this float in place. From the moment I start down the lane, I feel it slipping out and I'm more focused on trying to keep the float squeezed between my legs than i am on my stroke and pull technique. I end up putting it aside and grab one of the typical floats available at my pool.

As of Thursday, before Nemo even touched down, Newark Airport had the most Friday cancellations nationally, followed by Boston's Logan Airport, and LaGuardia Airport, according to FlightAware.

Darn! Hopefully we'll be able to reschedule, but for now let's just wish them safety in their travels.UPDATE: Despite what Permanent Records says about the band making it to NYC, the band and venue are currently saying Knitting Factory is still a go.
As of now we're still planning to be open with normal hours all weekend so if you were planning to come by tonight, that is still an option! It's warm in here!"

Black Breath at Precious Metal, May 2009 (more by Paul Birman)
I can't tell you how many great bands I have seen over the years at Precious Metal at NYC club Lit Lounge on Mondays. The series, curated by Wetnurse/Today is the Day member Curran Reynolds, is responsible not only for the first appearances from some favorite bands but also many many personal friendships forged in that dingy basement. Now after more than six years as a series, Precious Metal is coming to an end:
Friends, I am proud to announce the Grand Finale of Precious Metal. After 6.66 years and over 300 events, the series I started in May of 2006 will come to an end on January 21, 2013.Upcoming events at Precious Metal include this Monday (12/17) with Tiger Flowers, Meek is Murder, I am Heresy and Black Table; January 7 with Ghostlimb & The Year is One and yours truly on DJ duties; January 14 with Jar'd Loose, Gentlemen, End it and DJ Mike SOS; and the finale on January 21, a benefit for South Sound featuring Hivesmasher, Fashion Week, Flaming Tusk, SOS and DJ Zeena Koda. Make sure and get to the shows and wave goodbye to metal in the Lit Lounge basement. It will be missed.
We had a good run! Monday after Monday, we brought all sorts of heaviness from across the city and around the globe (Iceland, Italy, Australia...) into the den of Downtown grime and glamour that is Lit. These forces combined and added up to something special. I like to think we played a part in the resurgence of a New York City metal scene, one which now looks stronger than ever.
Head below for the full statement on the end of Precious Metal NYC.

A$AP Rocky at the Adidas Store, 9/13/2012
A$AP Rocky blessed the Adidas Store in Soho on Thursday (9/13), a private Fashion Week party for the shoe company in celebration of a recent poduct launch. This was the event that didn't actually happen on Fashion's Night Out (though they gave out tickets to it on that night). Pictures from the show, which include shots of Adidas designer Jeremy Scott, are in this post.
If you missed it, make sure and catch A$AP when he teams with Schoolboy Q and Danny Brown on 9/27 at Roseland as part of their tour together. Tickets are still available.
Until that Roseland show comes, make sure and give Purple Lord$ Never Worry a spin. The mixtape is the "chopped not slopped" version of the recently released Lord$ Never Worry, and is available for free HERE (get the original HERE).
More pictures from the Adidas store are below.

Ariel Pink at Irving Plaza - 9/12/12 (via Leandro Justen)
As mentioned, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are on tour now (a tour that hit Austin recently) in support of their new album, Mature Themes, and the tour hits NYC TONIGHT (9/14) at Webster Hall with BODYGUARD (aka James Ferraro) and TEEN. Tickets for tonight's show are still available. All tour dates are listed below.
After the Webster Hall show BODYGUARD will head to 285 Kent for a show with three secret artists. Any guesses on who they might be?
You might be aware that Ariel Pink was also in NYC a few days earlier and played a private Proenza Schouler Fashion Week party at Irving Plaza on Wednesday (9/12), which is pictured above. If you were at the party, how was it? Weyes Blood (aka fromer Jackie-O Motherfucker member Natalie Mering), who plays with Sun Araw soon, was at the show and sang backup vocals with Ariel Pink for his song "Early Birds." Wonder if Ariel has any surprises like that in store for tonight.
Speaking of shows happening in Manhattan tonight, Holy Other will be opening for Amon Tobin at Hammerstein Ballroom tonight (9/14). Tickets for tonight's show are still available. Amon Tobin is also DJing a boat party on Saturday.
An updated list of Ariel Pink dates is below...

Thom Yorke DJed for fashion, sang new Atoms for Peace songs @ MoMA PS1; Rustie, Holy Other, Maria Minerva played too
Thom Yorke at The Wooly - 9/7/12 (via non_equivalents)
Thom Yorke came to NYC over the weekend and DJed a Fashion Week party for Rag & Bone (whose co-designer Marcus Wainwright is a friend of Thom's) at The Wooly on Friday (9/7). A picture of Thom during his set at the Belvedere Vodka-sponsored party is above. Aziz Ansari was in attendance too.
Thom also, as discussed many times, did an Atoms for Peace DJ set for the final installment of this summer's Warm Up at MoMA PS1 with AFP bandmate and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Atoms for Peace just announced that their new album will come out next year, and to open their set, Thom and Nigel performed three new tracks that will presumably end up on that album with Thom singing live. You can watch videos of two of those new songs, and listen to audio of the third below. After the short unexpected live performance, Thom returned to the boards for the remainder of the show and spun a variety of tunes (everything from Talking Heads to Azealia Banks).
Thom Yorke & Nigel @ MoMA PS1 - 9/8/12 (via rebeccataylorny)
The rest of the lineup at Warm Up was great too. Despite a crazy storm, the show went on, opening with a set by Justin Strauss. Then Maria Minerva, who also did a Fashion Week show, just released new album, Will Happiness Find Me (stream it), and who now lives in Brooklyn (after moving from Estonia to London), played a live set. You can catch her in NYC again at Glasslands on Friday (9/14) with Father Finger and Octo Octa (tickets).
Up next was Holy Other, finally making his NYC debut, after having to cancel shows last summer due to illness. The elusive producer, who in a recent interview with Stereogum said he was "going to feel naked" performing outdoors during the day, played material off his excellent recently released debut LP, Held, and 2011's With U EP as well. A video from his set is below. The MoMA PS1 show fell in the middle of his tour with Amon Tobin, which hits the NYC area on Thursday (9/13) at Wellmont Theatre (tickets) and Friday (9/14) at Hammerstein Ballroom (tickets).
Before Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich finally took the stage, we were graced with one more set, this time by Scottish producer Rustie, who played Webster Hall with Flosstradamus and Brenmar the night before (9/7). He dropped bass heavy tunes that got the crowd going pretty wild. A couple videos from his Webster Hall show are below (unfortunately, the sound cuts out about halfway through).
Check out all those videos below...

In celebration of the Tribeca Grand show, Ladyhawke released a Jump Up remix of her song "Black White And Blue Punks." She was also recently remixed by Jacques Renault for her song "Blue Eyes." You can download both songs above, or stream them, along with the show flier and a list of all tour dates, below.

Azealia Banks and Hunters played a Fashion Week party at the Wythe Hotel (pics); Lady Gaga announces tour (dates)
photos by Amanda Hatfield; words by Bill Pearis
Azealia Banks / Hunters at Wythe Hotel 9/5/2012
At yay high, Azealia Banks is a tiny little thing, about 50% weave and 50% moxie. I didn't really have much expectation for her live show, especially given the setting -- a blingy Fashion Week party thrown by SPIN and fashion website Refinery29 -- but she definitely brought it last night (9/5) Flanked by two black-clad dancers (evoking early '90s club music more than anything hip-hop), Banks worked the floor and oozed charisma for her short but energized set. The crowd even stopped snapping pics on their phones (and in a couple cases, iPads) to dance to "212" which explosively closed her set. I don't know what it's like seeing her in a real venue (I personally missed her Bowery Ballroom performance, one of the very few live shows she's played to date), but in an intimate setting like the hype is understandable.
Azealia is on the cover of the new issue of SPIN which is rumored to be its last print edition. "Thanks to SPIN," Banks said in between songs. "I believe this is your last visible cover and I'm glad to be on it." From Madonna in 1985 to Azealia Banks in 2012. She's performing again tonight (9/6), a free and open-to-the-public show at M.A.C. Soho (506 Broadway) as part of Fashion's Night Out. She's on at 7:30 (but get there early).
Banks wasn't the only performer at this Virgin Mobile-sponsored party, held at swanky boho Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg. Danceable punks Hunters put on another great set, despite most party attendees elbowing their way to the bar unaware a band was playing. As at our 480 Pixels party, platinum-pink-haired singer Isabel Almeida commanded attention, be it belting it out or writhing on the floor tangled in her mic cord.
In related news, Azealia Banks recently confirmed that she worked on a song with Lady Gaga, but is still not sure if it will end up on Gaga's upcoming album, ARTPOP (due out in 2013), which is "not just an album", but also an iPad/iPhone/mobile app (looks like someone's been listening to Bjork). That announcement comes only two weeks after Gaga confirmed she'd be recording a song with her friend Kendrick Lamar for his new album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city, which has been pushed back from its original release date of October 2 to October 22.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga also has a huge international tour in the works in support of ARTPOP. She's on tour in Europe with The Darkness as we speak, and she'll return to our shores in 2013. While she's here, she'll hit NYC on February 22 at Madison Square Garden and March 6 at Barclays Center (which opens this month with eight shows by venue director Jay-Z). Tickets for those shows are not on sale yet, but check ticketmaster for updates.
All Lady Gaga tour dates and more pictures from the Azealia Banks and Hunters show are below.

Fashion's Night Out is Thursday -- a list of musical goings on (Chairlift, La Sera, Icona Pop, Haim, Maxwell, Cyndi Lauper & more)
UPDATE: We found even MORE
As mentioned, Thursday (9/5) is Fashion's Night Out. Basically another excuse to throw a party (in the name of bringing money and attention to fashion), the evening has become music-oriented in the last few years with bands playing stores all over New York City. There's a lot of stuff going on, including the Azealia Banks / DJ Cosmo performance at M.A.C. Soho we already told you about; plus Icona Pop and Maria Minerva at Urban Outfitters; Matchbox Twenty (!?!) at Bloomingdales; Haim at Topshop; La Sera at Helmut Lang; We Were Promised Jetpacks at Rockefeller Center; and Cyndi Lauper at Manolo Blahnik, just to name a few.
Below is a list of all the shows we could find with basic details and links where applicable/helpful. All shows are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Many have free food and booze as well. For more into visit the Fashion's Night Out website. Let us know what we missed, in the comments.

it's Fashion Week and Azealia Banks is performing twice (starting with a show tonight at the Wythe Hotel)
Tonight (9/5), Azealia Banks and Hunters are performing at an "invite-only", "entrance subject to capacity" party at the very-hot Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg which is being thrown by SPIN and fashion website Refinery29. The Virgin Mobile-sponsored show serves dual purposes, as Azealia is on the cover of the new print issue of SPIN and it's also a kickoff to Fashion Week here in NYC which, if you live here, you have probably already been hit over the head by media coverage (to which we're adding more). SPIN is going gaga for Fashion Week this year with a dedicated site that will offer video coverage with MNDR as one of their corespondents. The flyer for tonight's show is below.
Azealia will also be performing at a show you have a better shot of getting into, as part of Fashion's Night Out which happens Thursday (9/6) all over the city. (This, as you all know, is the only night of the year Fashion is allowed out in public in NYC.) Azealia and DJ Cosmo will perform at M.A.C. Soho (506 Broadway) at 7:45 PM though you'd do well to show up earlier than that if you want to get in.
There are dozens of FNO shows Thursday night and we'll have more on those very soon. Meanwhile, you can watch (or rewatch) Azealia's new video, "1991," below along with the flyer for tonight's soiree...

John Stanier of Battles/Tomahawk (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Tomahawk is back! The supercrew featuring Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantomas, etc), Duan Denison (The Jesus Lizard), Trevor Dunn (Melvins Lite, Fantomas) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet) has returned with a new LP Oddfellows, due this January via Ipecac. Check out an album teaser below.
So far Tomahawk has only one US date scheduled, at Voodoo this year. The show will be their first in nine years. Pray for a round two on the East side.
UPDATE: Tomahawk are playing Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin too.
In the meantime, Mike Patton is still cranking out releases like his name was Robert Pollard. Luciano Berio Laborintus II is Patton's latest opus, due on 7/3 via Ipecac, and features the eclectic musician's reinterpretation of Luciano Berio's "Laborintus II". Get your copy at Ipecac.
Faith No More also have some shows scheduled this summer, as do Faith No More member Roddy Bottum's band Imperial Teen.
In related news: Melvins tickets for motherf*ckin' 6/30 Lit Lounge show go on sale today at the venue at 7PM. In still more related news, Gay Witch Abortion, who is also on the show, will play Union Pool the next night (July 1st) as part of a bill with Fashion Week and Gentlemen. $8 gets you in. Melvins also have lots more dates coming up too.
Tomahawk teaser is below.

Goes Cube at The Studio at Webster Hall (more by BBG)
We've heard of cars. We've heard of skateboards. We've heard of clothes, drinks and instruments. But congratulations to Goes Cube for landing that next-level endorsement, bowling balls.
"Goes Cube is a great fit for DV8," says Brian Graham, director of sales and marketing for DV8. "These guys are bowlers, and they reinforce the fun and outrageous personality of the DV8 brand. We are very excited about adding some Ballers that will help us to bring DV8 and bowling to a new audience."Yes, Goes Cube are officially "Ballers" (not in the Jim Jones sense), diplomats of the lanes so to speak.
No word on if Goes Cube will have a signature set of balls at the merch table when they hit the road for a string of dates with Exotic Animal Petting Zoo. The dates kick off on Friday in Colorado, making their way East for a final show at The Studio at Webster Hall on June 2nd with The Giraffes and Fashion Week. Tickets are still available.
EAPZ are releasing their new LP Tree of Tongues on June 19th. Stream some material at their Facebook page to get familiar.
A list of all dates and some videos are below...

Kiss It Goodbye
As discussed, the recently reunited Kiss it Goodbye is now an active band, albeit missing some of their original personnel. The band recently announced the addition of Jim Winters (Starkweather, Turmoil, Earth Crisis, The Promise) to their lineup and with that intact, it was just a matter of time before KiG announced an NYC show. That day has come. Kiss it Goodbye will play Acheron on June 1st with Tiger Flowers and Fashion Week. Details on additional shows, if they exist, are still on the way.
Members of Rorschach (specifically Gormely and Huckins) will NOT participate in the reunion, but they will play NYC at LPR (with Converge, tickets) as well as Maryland Deathfest.
Nur Khan discusses tonight's Guns N' Roses show at Hiro Ballroom (which is turning into something else soon)
a pic of Guns N' Roses soundcheck @ Hiro Ballroom (via the Shaltzes)
Guns N' Roses' Fashion Week run of shows, that hit Webster Hall (aka the Ritz) last night (more about that later), actually also includes a private Fashion Week show at Hiro Ballroom tonight (2/16). Steve Lewis talked to Nur Khan, the man behind it, about the show, the venue and the Electric Room where Nur is throwing events too...
The rumor was that the show was going to be at The Electric Room but it got too big a thing and now it's at Hiro. In the future, you plan on doing a lot of shows at The Electric Room. How do you shows there....logistically?More at BlackBook Mag.
I just did my first show there the other night. I remove furniture in front of a fireplace and half of the room. Set the PA and backline up in front of the fireplace - very similar to what I created with the Rose Bar sessions. You get the idea. You were at some of them. I see The Electric Room as a better fit for emerging bands. I'm doing this at Hiro; it's sort of my two cents into the goodbye. The town is losing another rock and roll room. I'm going to have to build another. We'd still be at Don Hill's if he hadn't died. This show at Hiro is all out ...confetti canons, arealists. It's the last hurrah before Mark Packer takes Hiro and Matsuri over and does what he does to it.
Beach Fossils @ Mercury Lounge in 2011 (more by Diana Wong)
Widowspeak, in case you missed the post we updated, have a show coming up at Glasslands with Mac DeMarco (who opens for Beach Fossils at Music Hall of Williamsburg), but first you can catch them with Dum Dum Girls at Maxwell's tonight (2/11).
And it turns out Music Hall of Williamsburg and SXSW (with Widowspeak) aren't Beach Fossils' only upcoming shows. Check out the flyer for tonight's free Fashon Week shindig at Tribeca Grand, below.

Death By Audio - Wednesday night - 2/8/2012
The Kills, JEFF the Brotherhood & Hunters play their sold out NYC show at Terminal 5 on Saturday, 2/11, a date that coincidentally (probably not) falls right during Fashion Week. If we had put two and two together earlier, we probably would have theorized that the band that contains Kate Moss's husband would be playing more than one show while in town. Who caught the invite-only show at The Standard last night?
Who caught JEFF the Brotherhood & Hunters (Uncle Bad Touch got stopped at the Canadian border) at Maxwell's instead? We didn't, but we do have a second set of pictures from the show they played one night earlier at Death By Audio in Brooklyn. They continue below...

===| THURSDAY 2/9 @ 285 KENT AVE |====For the Babies, that will be at least their 2nd show this week, as they opened for Widowspeak and the Dum Dum Girls at Cake Shop on Monday.

Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan & Red Fang played Terminal 5 (pics, video & setlist) ------- East of The Wall playing Brooklyn
photos by Greg Cristman
While Coke Bust/Masakari/Sick Fix/Grudges was tearing down Acheron on 11/19, a much larger show was brewing at Terminal 5 featuring Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan and Red Fang as part of the trio's tour together. Mastodon's set covered their entire recorded output, including newer tracks like "Curl of The Burl" all the way to earlier favorites like "March of The Fire Ants" and, according to the set-list, "Iron Tush" (aka "Iron Tusk").
The sold-out show also featured an appearance from original DEP vocalist Dimitri Minkanakis (now a member of Argonauts) who joined the band on stage for performances of "Sunshine The Werewolf" and the classic "43% Burnt". Video of that is below.
While Argonauts have no upcoming dates, Brett of Argonauts will play Public Assembly on 12/14 with his other project East of The Wall. They'll be joined by Tournament (who play an Acheron benefit tonight with Hull/Naam), Family, and Fashion Week. The band is finishing up their US tour post-the release of their latest LP The Apologist.
Pictures, video and the Mastodon setlist from Terminal 5 is below...

Tonight (9/15) is the Vice.com party that is sure to be a crazy time in addition to the intimate performance being given by Crystal Castles at Hudson Hotel. Didn't get an RSVP confirmation for those or just want to avoid the potential headache? Though maybe not as musically exciting, and definitely way more expensive, MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden is DJing a Surfrider benefit at the Bowery Hotel. "Proceeds from this event will help fund the chapter's Rise Against Plastics (RAP) Campaign." The $55 ticket also includes beer and wine (I think, though it's sort of unclear what the $125 ticket gets you). Flyer below...

Holy Ghost! play a Fashion Week party at the Tribeca Grand hotel tonight (9/13). Additional sounds will be made by DJs Pat Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem), Harley Viera Newton, Steven Rojas, Mike Nouveau, and Mandy Brooks. The invite says to RSVP at firstname.lastname@example.com. The DFA-signed Holy Ghost's only other upcoming show at the moment is 11/4 at Grog Shop in Cleveland.
Speaking of DFA, Juan Maclean has some DJ gigs coming up including September 25th at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn, part of Asa Ransom's residency. All JM dates are listed below.
As just mentioned, Free Energy are playing this year's CMJ Music Marathon in NYC. To be more exact, their show is at Brooklyn Bowl on 10/22 with Gotye, The Good Natured, and Bleeding Knees Club and you can get tickets now. All of their dates are listed below...

Beets fans? (@ Don Hill's)
As Bill pointed out, "The Beets kick off their winter tour at 285 Kent, with German Measles, Beach Arabs and Big Troubles. Their second LP, Stay Home, came out last month on Captured Tracks and is quite good and a slight step up the fidelity ladder from their debut." That tour-kickoff show happens tonight (2/17). The poster for it, all dates, and more pictures from a Fashion week show they played the other night at Don Hill's (it was the Rebecca Turbow Fall 2011 Presentation and and the DJ's were Peggy Wang of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Connor Hanwick of the Drums), below...

Any more bands playing fashion week parties? Creep tonight in NYC, Arcade Fire pre-Grammys secret show in LA
The National played Milk Studios Wednesday. Kanye West didn't play, but he was hanging out at the "Best New Menswear Designers in America Fall 2011 Collections event" at Ace Hotel last night. Creep (with Nina Sky) are playing Tribeca Grand tonight.
We know Arcade Fire won't be playing any Fashion Week shows - not because they're not fashionable, but because they're playing a show in LA tonight. The occasion is that, like Dr. Dre and Bob Dylan, they're in California to play the Grammys on Sunday.
Leave your Fashion Week tips in the comments.
Tamaryn @ Coco66 during CMJ (more by Andrew St. Clair)
Anything good going on at Don Hill's this week for Fashion Week? Remember who they had playing there last Fashion Week?
As previously mentioned, (the fashionable) Tamaryn is coming to town to play PS1 on 2/19 (a couple of months before she returns as part of her tour with the Raveonettes), but now that will be her 2nd NYC happening in February. On the 17th she'll be playing a proper show (their "only solo show in Manhattan for the rest of this year") at Don Hill's with Religious to Damn (who she also collaborates with) and DJ Jeralyn. Fashion week will be over by then. More details and tour dates below...

Des Plaines, Illinois 60018-2187
April 8, 2003
The Honorable Frank Farkas
Committee on Health Care
Florida House of Representatives
The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399
RE: Committee on Health Care's Consideration of HB 1659
Dear Chairman Farkas:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter from the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) expressing concern over HB 1659, which would require mold professional licensing but exempt Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs) from the bill's intent to protect Florida consumers. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Health Care.
While we understand the Committee may be considering other ways to address mold, ASSE urges you to make sure that any action taken fully protects Florida consumers, does not limit their access to qualified mold professionals, and does not give one type of mold professional an unfair advantage over other similarly trained and experienced professionals. The various reasons for this are explained at length in the attached letter. In short, ASSE's more than 1200 members in Florida include CIHs but also include a variety of other qualified safety, health and environmental professionals who should be treated no differently than CIHs in any legislation considered in Florida.
ASSE stands ready to work with you and the Committee on Health Care to make sure Florida achieves its goals of both helping and protecting consumers. Thank you for your time and attention.
Mark D. Hansen, PE, CSP

Educator Professional Development
ADHD and Related Disorders: Understanding and Managing Difficult Behavior in the Classroom (a workshop with Dr. Harvey Weinberg)
UW-La Crosse offers 1 Graduate Credit*
EDS 500, Section 708
Deadline to register: July 17, 2014
*For tuition, please contact: Briana Meuer, 608.785.6513 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Workshop: Thursday & Friday, July
17-18, 2014
Mornings: 8:30-11:45 am
Credit students, an additional 9
hours as arranged. Credit work due by August 29, 2014.
Egg Harbor, Wis.
Educating our children is the lifeblood of their future success. Passionate teachers work to create the most positive learning experience possible, but are confronted with many factors beyond their control. In today's classroom, students with challenging social, emotional and behavioral issues have become more commonplace. Consequently, the educator's ability to manage difficult behavior in the classroom has become ever more important.
Unlike other workshops that address specific teaching strategies, this Workshop will focus on classroom management strategies that diminish difficult behavior and enhance classroom milieu. During the Workshop, the following topics will be covered:
- Understanding the varied causes of difficult behavior
- Developing practical and teacher friendly interventions tailored to address these specific causes
- Identifying communication and relationship strategies to prevent difficult behavior
- Providing traditional theoretical frameworks, as well as other equally important psychological and developmental approaches
- Collaborating with colleagues, parents and mental health providers will be emphasized
- Highlighting the importance of the personality style, classroom organization and self-care
The Workshop provides ample opportunity for discussion, problem-solving and learning from other educators who are faced with similar challenges. Come join us and enhance your sills in managing difficult classroom behavior.
IMPORTANT: The content of the Workshop broadly contains information that will be helpful for educators who teach pre-school through adolescence. At different points during the Workshop, specific age groups will be highlighted and contrasted, along with specific interventions compatible with that particular age group.
Who Should Attend:
- Classroom and special education teachers
- LD specialists
- School psychologists and counselors
- School nurses
- Occupational Therapists
- Speech and Language Clinicians
- School administrators
- Any other educator who has an interest in this topic
Workshop registration fee is separate and in addition to credit tuition fee. To register for the workshop, go to: http://adhdworkshops.com/registration.php
To register for UW-La Crosse credit course, go to: UW-L Academic Credit Registration form and Online Admission Application Directions (3 page PDF)
The tuition plateau does not apply to students enrolling in undergraduate or graduate credit courses through the Office of Continuing Education and Extension.

From the vernacular of the "Old West," I'm calling out Susan Rowe, chair of the Madera County Democratic Party, and William Fjellbo, district five officer of the Madera County Democratic Party, to give us their official opinion, based upon the Democratic party platform, to explain the following dysfunctional actions, (not the words), of the Obama Administration:
Who exactly closed the WWII memorial, (actually the entire National Mall), to veterans but allowed illegal aliens, including the despicable Nancy Pelosi, access to hold a protest. California representative Pelosi even thanked President Obama for making it possible. Did our president pay to have barriers put up against our veterans, where no doors exist, while opening those same barriers to people here illegally? To whom is our president committed?
Who exactly withheld funding previously approved by President Obama for all fiscal military requirements, exempt from a government "shutdown," but now withholds pay and benefits, including death benefits for families of soldiers being killed in action, and falsely blames the "government shutdown."
Who exactly in our government included the shutdown of private businesses within the confines of our "shutdown" national parks? Why is the Obama administration inflecting punitive damage on American citizens outside their authority to "shutdown" government?
Why is our president so eager to negotiate with Syria, Russia, and Iran but publicly refuses to negotiate with our own House of Representatives?
Where did Mr. Obama get the idea that "his deal" must be done before negotiations are held and accuse the House of Representatives of holding our nation hostage?
If Obamacare is so good for our nation, why is Congress and major Obama supporters being exempted? That, my friends, is un-American and unconstitutional.
Why is President Obama blaming Republicans in Congress when he is the one refusing to negotiate?
Why are the major advantages President Obama promised regarding his healthcare plan turning out to be false?
Why are so many Americans still believing Mr. Obama's campaign drivel?
Actually I'm so outraged by the convoluted reasoning of the Obamacratic party, I can hardly write this column. Our current government "shutdown" is bringing a lot of skeletons out of our government's closet.
In March of 2006, Senator Obama said "America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership" when President Bush requested an increase of the national debt limit but now says it must be done to "pay the bills." Almost $7 trillion has been added to our national debt on his watch. I'm very sure he was correct in 2006.
He has unconstitutionally altered his healthcare scam, the "law of the land," to suit his political needs and no one has the cajones to bring him up on charges and impeach the rascal.
I've written many times that both Republicans and Democrats are responsible for the mess in Washington and quite frankly, I'm encouraged that Senator Cruz has come forward to stand, "damn the torpedoes," for what he believes is right. It's about time someone quit playing the warm and fuzzy, compromising game of Washington politics.
By the way, wasn't it candidate Obama who said "no more business as usual in Washington?" Again, he was correct. Now it's the old Chicago-style, back room deals, my way or the highway, glib tongue with no action, that is spilling out of our White House and even perverting the English language. Despicable.
I tend to understand why our president won't release his college transcripts. They must really be that bad. Can a Harvard graduate really be so incompetent? His "change" to America is a totally socialistic train wreck. What patriot can be proud of what's going on in our government?
Even in Madera County, with title comes responsibility. If we hear nothing from our local Democratic Party leaders, we can only assume that they are as ashamed of this incompetent president as the rest of us.

A:Orbit Baby's Toddler Car Seat doesn't include the Base, but it doe installs both rear and forward-facing in the following ways:
Rear-facing installation, for children who are 15 to 35lbs:
--Use the Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat Base (not included with the Toddler Car Seat) that came with your Orbit Infant Car Seat, or purchase the base on its own.
--Install the Toddler Car Seat with the included braces, ideal for families who are traveling and want to leave the base at home.
Forward-facing installation, for children who are 25 to 65lbs:
--Install the seat with the braces only, never with the Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat Base (it's for rear-facing installation only).

A:Great news! ALL Orbit G2 components are compatible with Orbit's new G3 components (the only exception is the Orbit G2 Color Packs -- those are not compatible with G3). Which means you can invest in the G3 Toddler Car Seat for your toddler's next stage and it'll still work on your G2 Stroller Base....brilliant!
