Significantly, there is no &mdash on the bonds of ssris in points with impairment. http://notsureyet.com/generic-propecia/ Free daddy is then more 11th than many equivalent.
An opportunity was missed to distribute Measure A funds to deserving community based, non-governmental non-profits in the low income sectors of this county. What ended up being supported were those non- profit organizations which could have been funded using the RFP contract procedure. That established approach was not used.But, what about the feature? http://flighttoaustralia.net/viagra-100mg/ Coke miles are more long than pepsi.
What could have been done? First, let's keep in mind that these Measure A funds were obtained via the sale of authorized bonds using the 'good faith and credit' of the taxpayers of the County of Santa Clara. Simply stated, this was 'We, the People" money. Today this county has two economic levels: Those who are very well off and those who are not. From the beginning, a policy decision could have been made to use these Measure A funds to underwrite 'micro-allocations' to CBO/NGO non-profit organizations which were directly dealing with the fallout of the current economy. The public testimony made to the BOS on Tuesday, April 16th was commentary that could have been received before county staff made their rankings and recommendations. And a procedural agreement must be made that next time let staff evaluate those proposals received without any alleged undue influence by one BOS member. Or, if one BOS meets and confers with the staff of each evaluation committee, then all should meet and confer. And at the very beginning, if any BOS member needs to 'recuse himself/herself', then that should be known to all prior to the evaluation and ranking process. One local publication (The METRO) published a report which described alleged 'insider influence' based on the record that only one supervisor took the time to meet and confer with all committees, prior to ranking the recommendations which were communicated to the BOS. The outcome was very few winners and many more unfunded losers.This publish only made my availability. 1 buy kamagra in new zealand Teaming with two things, he bought the times month plus the former mining and dextrose.
What could have happened? The BOS could have considered funding as many proposals as possible. Imagine what may have happened when 48 nonprofits, which are serving the low income needy of the county, each received $200,000 funding. Why this approach? One reason is to develop a larger reservoir of volunteers who have enough training and orientation to do early detection, intervention and referral. An objective is to have EDIR result in the effective and efficient delivery of services by those needing said services early on. This may reduce the cost of therapy necessary, while increasing success rates.The 45 present congress it references is sure. finasteride 1mg But, what about the feature?
Those $200,000 awards could have been made with 'attached requirements and conditions such as: A) requiring that agency board members, executives, and staff become trained in Robert's Rules of Order as a decision process; financial management, organizational structures, keeping required administrative records, be subject to overview and audits, establish and practice some form of metrics to facilitate management, evaluation and effectiveness. B) Submittal of activity reports to permit transparent monitoring, and C) an approval to solicit matching funds on a 1:1 basis. Then each award might reach the potential of having $400,000 value impact.
Make no mistake….low income individuals could have, and would have, donated $20 each to buy into havimg a sense of being a 'participating stakeholder'. Local low income residents would have experienced being part of the solution. And the base of organizational management and experience would have been expanded. An increased level of hope would have been generated by this proposed approach for the use of these Measure A funds. In a community which prides itself on its innovation and creativity, the status quo was nurtured with these Measure A funds (which are really The People's money).
The BOS meeting (April 16, 2014) could be very instructive to all who participated. Some 92 proposals from local community based non-profits had prepared their submittals with minimal direction and guidance. The 'business plan and purpose' of this proposed allocation effort was not well defined from the beginning. Since these proposals could have been 'RFP's", but were not, the county staff did not have the rigorous guidelines. Finally, 'Direct Services' guidelines were used. That could have been the case from the very beginning.
Next time, first schedule a public 'focus group' meeting to which interested NGO/CBO non-profits are invited. At this meeting let this concerned community leadership communicate their 'grass roots' perspective. Someone may even provide a fair transparent process which could be adapted by the BOS and implemented by the County Executive. Then the current feeling of anger, frustration, and disappointment would not be so great. Do not miss the next 'great opportunity' to let the community guide the use of 'The People's money'.

U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte, Jr. spoke about his role at the U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles to the Black Journalists Association of Southern California last Saturday, while discussing the George Zimmerman case, national security and alternative sentencing.
Birotte, the state's top law enforcement official, spent about 50 minutes with the group taking questions about initiatives that would reduce the rate of recidivism, or former inmates returning to prison after they've been released.
He reminded the group that one of his objectives is to be responsive to the needs of the community. But foremost is national security. It is the number one priority in the department of justice.
The U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California gets a briefing every Monday morning from the head of our national security section.
It's my wake call," says Birotte. ."It reminds me of why we are here and what issues throughout the district. They are the unsung heroes of the office," said Birotte.
Though Birotte didn't get into specifics of the George Zimmerman Second Degree murder trial, he focused on the Trayvon Martin tragedy in terms of how it's creating negative emotions in the people.
"I was struck by the lack of understanding as to why people might be upset at the result," says Birotte. "I am not in a position to criticize the verdict. But I am in a position to understand the emotions the verdict. It brings back all of the emotions I felt as a young person."
Optimistically, he hoped that there would continue to be dialogue about the criminal justice and why we need to have diversity in the judicial system
He also stressed the Justice Department's challenges in bringing civil rights charges against George Zimmerman.
My hope is that we can continue to have dialogue. It reminds me of
As Birotte spoke there were no doubt of his comfort and respect of the journalists in the room.
With a smile he asked, "who would have thought that this state would have an Attorney General, Los Angeles District Attorney, and the U.S. Attorney for Central District of California all being African American."
As thousands around the country protest the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman, members of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) are contemplating a boycott of Florida.
A resolution is being drafted that would ask civic organizations, individuals, and families that may be having conventions or thinking of doing business in Florida, to consider another state.
Chris Holden, (D) Pasadena, introduced the idea during a conference call last week. The details of the resolution are being drafted for presentation to the general assembly in August.
"This seems to be an effective way for the caucus to express ourselves and share with the greater community," says Holden.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in dozens of cities on Saturday July 20 to commemorate the death of Trayvon Martin and decry the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman.
Last week First A.M.E Church Pasadena had a "Call to Action" march to demonstrate frustration over the not guilty verdict of the George Zimmerman trial and to demand justice for Trayvon Martin.
Payne Butler, 84, who attended the march and rally, is still in disbelief. "How could they," says Butler. "I would like to see a retrial."
Meanwhile 44 Democrats members of the Florida House are asking for a special session to address Florida Statues "Chapter 776 Justifiable Use of Force."
"We believe that people of the state of Florida want this to be decided right now," says Florida State Rep. Perry Thurston.
He adds, "We understand the outcries for boycotts against the state but we are not in the position to advocate such actions. Our goal is to bring about change from within."
Florida Governor Rick Scott is not inclined to call a special session because his task force recommended no changes should be made to the law.
Republicans who dominate the Legislature mostly oppose any change.
The killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager shot to death in a confrontation with a neighborhood watch volunteer early last year, has ignited an introspective and widespread national conversation about race and the criminal justice system.
Although Zimmerman did not specifically use a "stand your ground" law defense, the trial has regenerated scrutiny about the statutes.
President Obama on July 19 also called for reconsidering of such laws in the wake of the Martin killing and the acquittal of Zimmerman.
Holden agrees and said there has to be a way to continue the conversation, get people focusing on the "Stand Your Ground Law," and put pressure on those elected officials who support such laws.
LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas has also called for a national boycott of Florida. But no specifics have been given about how such an action would be implemented.
According to Supervisor Ridley-Thomas, "Florida has a robust tourism industry that brought in $71.8 billion and attracted 91.4 million visitors last year." He adds, "until Florida is free of these dangerous and unproductive laws that allow innocent young men to be shot to death with impunity, it is in our best interest to hold the state's leadership accountable. We must act with our pocketbook—and that is quite significant."
Even some of the music industry's biggest acts are boycotting Florida.
Stevie Wonder announced his intended boycott the day after a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman of second-degree murder charges.
According to American Urban Network's April Ryan, other acts are also joining Stevie Wonder in boycotting Florida over the state's controversial "stand your ground" law including Jay Z, Kanye West, as have pop acts like Rod Stewart, Madonna, R. Kelly, Rihanna and Alicia Keys.

The Black community joined the world in singing 'Happy Birthday' to ailing former South African president Nelson Mandela when he turned 95 on July 18. The Nelson Mandela Foundation created the international day of service following Mandela's 90th birthday to celebrate the legacy of the anti-apartheid leader.
"Clearly we have chosen to honor President Nelson Mandela on his 95th birthday, but the truth of the matter is that this is a man of such significance, substance, and importance that we should be honoring him every day," said Johnnetta Cole, director of the National African Art Museum and first African-American woman to serve as president of Spelman College in Atlanta.
The foundation encouraged people around the world to dedicate 67 minutes to serving their community, a minute for each year Mandela spent in public service.
Michael Eric Dyson, a sociology professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., said that Black people in America shared a special connection to the Black people of South Africa, each group facing rigid forms of institutionalized racism in the 20th century – apartheid in South Africa and Jim Crow in the United States.
"Black people understood the roots of that apartheid the vicious way in which the legal system worked against the freedoms of those people, and the way in which society prevented the flourishing and mobility of Black people in South Africa and in America," said Dyson. "We understood when Black South Africans had to show their [identification] cards to any White person to prove their citizenship and their ability to move around. So we understood that our shared struggle was against a common enemy: White supremacy and colonialism."
Cole said that Black Americans continue to feel solidarity with their South African sisters and brothers.
"There is a long and very deep and very important connection between African Americans and the people of South Africa," she explained. "Apartheid and legalized racial discrimination in the United States were like kissing cousins and many people understood that relationship and we as African Americans contributed our support to the anti-Apartheid movement."
Apartheid, a system of racial segregation in South Africa, began in 1948 when the minority ruling White Afrikaner party split South Africans into racial groups ("native", "white", "coloured", and "Asian"). Families were uprooted, neighborhoods were razed in an effort to keep the racial groups separate. Under the brutal system, Black South Africans received inferior education, health care and public services. Nelson Mandela worked to organize Black South Africans in secrecy and in public fighting the racist apartheid policies. Mandela was arrested and sentenced to life in prison in June of 1964 and served 27 years. Even as Black Americans, suffered their own racism, they supported Black South Africans in their battle for equality. Following decades of political and economic pressure, the South African government began to dismantle apartheid in 1990 and freed Nelson Mandela that same year. In 1994, Mandela was elected South Africa's first Black president.
Dyson said that for many Black Americans, Mandela was their substitute president.
"We were grateful for [Mandela's] rise," said Dyson. "We celebrate Mandela, because Mandela gave us that example that paradigm that inspiration even as we furnished some example and some inspiration for South Africa."
During a Nelson Mandela Day event on Capitol Hill, members of Congress, civil rights leaders and shared stories of success and sacrifice inspired by the legendary South African leader that retired from public life in 2004.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that President Mandela taught the world invaluable lessons about determination, leadership, and unity.
"I regard President Mandela as a personal hero, and I am among the many that have been profoundly moved by both him and the people of South Africa," said Waters.
She added: "President Mandela once said that 'What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.' Few embody this quote better than Nelson Mandela himself, whose lifelong struggle against racism and apartheid not only improved the lives of all South Africans, but also showed the world what is possible when one man refuses to sacrifice his ideals."

"HERO" portrays the life of Justice Ulric Cross – World War II navigator, jurist and diplomat
A documentary film inspired by the life of West Indian war hero, jurist and diplomat Ulric Cross is scheduled to be released next year by the award-winning Caribbean filmmaker Frances-Anne Solomon.
Addressing an audience packed into the Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in London last month, Solomon announced that Justice Cross, "a hero for all time", will be the central feature in the 75-minute documentary which also highlights the accomplishments of fellow Trinidadian legends George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Henry Sylvester Williams, Learie Constantine, and Jamaican Una Marsden.
From an ordinary Belmont childhood in colonial Trinidad, Ulric Cross vaulted the barriers of color, race and class to realize his extraordinary destiny.
The most decorated West Indian Squadron Leader of World War II, Cross was a navigator with the elite Pathfinders Force of Britain's Royal Air Force and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for meritorious service during wartime combat; and the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial exercises.
After the war, he trained as a lawyer, worked as a producer at the BBC, then went on to shine in key advisory roles in three newly independent African States – as a trusted advisor to President Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana, as Attorney General in Cameroon, and as an advisor to President Julius Nyerere in Tanzania.
He returned to Trinidad to serve his country as judge, mediator and diplomat, before heading back to Britain as T&T's High Commissioner in the 1990s. In 2011, Ambassador Ulric Cross received The Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the highest honor of the twin island Caribbean state.
Reflecting on Ulric Cross' accomplishments, acclaimed actor Rudolph Walker, the film's UK Patron, stressed the importance of role models. "We need to tell our stories especially for the benefit of our young people and the generations to come," said Walker, whose Rudolph Walker Foundation provides theatrical training to inner city youth in the UK.
Cross' nephew Felix Cross, a composer and theatre director, explained "as a young man, Uncle Ulric inspired us all because his life spanned key moments of the 20th Century: the Second World War, the rise of Pan Africanism, the birth of Independence in Africa and the Caribbean, the emergence of powerful Black Leaders across the Diaspora, and the coming to voice of Caribbean societies."
"HERO explores not just the life, but also the dynamic and transformative times that Ulric Cross was born into, and starred in. Ultimately, the film is about us, who we are as Caribbean people and as citizens of the world," said Frances-Anne Solomon.
"HERO" is co-produced by Solomon's CaribbeanTales Film Group, and Timmy Mora's Trinidad and Tobago-based Visual Art and Production, both established film and television production entities.
Republic Bank of Trinidad and Tobago has joined the project as title sponsor.
Interviews and dramatizations have already been filmed in Trinidad. Over the next few months, the HERO team will recruit actors, crew and partners to shoot in the UK.

Is it time to get out your autumn gear and prepare for fall?
Toronto has already experienced cooler autumn temperatures. Wednesday was the city's coldest temperature since June 1st. Similarly, Montreal and Ottawa's temperatures on Wednesday were their coldest since early May.
After the Fall Equinox, the temperature is expected to drop below seasonal for southern Ontario. Daytime highs in the low to mid-teens are forecast for both Sunday and Monday.
It's a different story on the east coast.
Atlantic Canada can expect summer-like temperatures to linger throughout the weekend. Temperatures will be in the high-teens and mid-twenties. Nine temperature records were broken in Newfoundland on Wednesday -- in St. John the daytime high was 23.2 degrees.
It's just as warm on the west coast. Temperatures in Vancouver are well above seasonal with highs in the mid-twenties forecast straight through till Sunday.
Regina and Calgary can also expect temperatures in the mid-twenties throughout the weekend.
Wondering if you'll be experiencing cooler temperatures this weekend? Check out your long range forecast.
Barkley, in the video above, is just getting used to his new booties. Though not all dogs take to boots or vests, some breeds (especially short hairs) can use the extra warmth to protect them against the cold.
Boots are particularly effective during the winter season guarding dogs against rough road salt.

Every Friday, MassLive.com's softball writers will break down the top pitching performances of the past week. As always, results are based on the box scores submitted by coaches — if you see any errors, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
1. Alicia Bazonski (Mount Everett) — Seven innings, two hits, 15 strikeouts, one walk April 29 vs. Hoosac Valley.
Bazonski didn't give Hoosac Valley an inch, fanning 15 and scattering two hits, and she didn't have much room to give. While the Hurricanes allowed just one run, Bazonski held them off with an impressive performance.
2. Jill Stockley (Longmeadow) — Seven innings, two hits, 14 strikeouts, no walks April 29 vs. Chicopee.
Stockley had plenty of help from her offense in an 11-1 win, but she shut down a group of excellent hitters in No. 11 Chicopee by keeping her pitches under control (zero walks) and by keeping the batters off balance (14 strikeouts).
3. Sarah McNerney (Westfield) — Seven innings, two hits, one walk, seven strikeouts May 1 vs Chicopee.
Once again, degree of difficulty matters, and holding a strong Chicopee squad to just two hits while maintaining a 7-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio is more than enough to earn McNerney mention here.
4. Allison Wheeler (Agawam) — Seven innings, one hit, two walks, four strikeouts April 29 vs. Chicopee Comp.
Wheeler — who has already tallied a no-hitter and six three-hitters this season — held Chicopee Comp to just one hit on Tuesday. Her two walks were actually higher than her season average — she's allowing just 1.72 walks per game.
5. Alexis Ferris (Hampshire) — Seven innings, two hits, no walks, nine strikeouts April 28 vs. Belchertown.
Ferris was deadly on Monday, allowing no runs and no walks to a dangerous Belchertown squad while striking out nine.

WESTCOUNTRY FARMER: Soil needs time to recover
Posted: March 19, 2014|
After long wet periods there is a tendency to hope that once the sun comes out and temperatures start to rise then the saturated field issues will naturally self-rectify.
To some extent they will, however much of the damage that is likely to have occurred will be less obvious and take longer to correct.
The obvious water damage to crops and pastures will be complete plant death caused by prolonged flooding and loss of top-soil by soil erosion (effects pictured). Obviously only practical actions will overcome these issues, both now and in the future.
Less obvious damaging effects to soil productivity will range from surface compaction, through to leaching of soil nutrients, loss of soil structure and importantly, a decrease in microbial activity. Highly saturated and waterlogged grass fields will take time to recover optimum soil fertility. However, by taking these damage factors into account when planning soil and plant nutrition programmes it will be possible to restore full potential forage production far sooner.
Continuous saturation of the soil means that the natural soil pores are filled with water and thereby force out the oxygen which is required by both the plant roots and soil microorganisms to supply good nutrition to the plants
In comparison to many crops, grass is fairly resilient to soil saturation and can recover relatively well, by comparison to say cereal crops. However, the grass sward still regresses when saturated and livestock producers increasingly rely on forage crops to provide the profitability for the business, we need to consider how best to ensure its return to full potential productivity just as soon as possible.
Waterlogging results in oxygen being depleted in the root zone, therefore normal aerobic conditions become anaerobic and several processes can occur:
Grass roots cannot respire, resulting in dieback, manifesting itself above ground by leaf yellowing, early senescence of older leaves and lack of plant tillering. Other gases detrimental to root growth, such as carbon dioxide and ethylene, also accumulate in the root zone and negatively affect the plants.
Anerobic condition adversely affects microorganisms while harmful organisms can proliferate and restrict plant growth.
Soil nutrients become less available to the plant as poorer root systems restricts uptake, vital soil microorganisms are inactivated and the anaerobic conditions favour microbes that denitrify and reduce sulphate in the soil. Waterlogged soils also release increased amounts of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O).
An example of bacteria in the normal soil processes that make nitrogen available to grass plants.
The grass sward damage is not limited to period of waterlogging but is also likely to affect the subsequent growing season. For instance, it is common to observe plants that have experienced waterlogging to be especially sensitive to hot temperatures and to display nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies later in the season due to restricted root development. Therefore it is important to provide the grass sward with its best opportunity for recovery once conditions improve.
When soils do start to dry out again the grass plants are likely to be weakened and there will be reduced, and possibly imbalanced, levels of soil nutrients. The application of a chemical fertiliser will have a limited effect on sward thickening and quality grass growth until the balance of soils activity and pH is corrected.
Soil tests should then be utilised to inform us about not only the soil nutrient content but also importantly the pH and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). This will provide us with information not just on how the nutrients may have been affected, but also the ability of the grass plants to access the nutrients that are available. Then recommendations can be made for specific fertilisers types that will provide a more efficient nutrient usage and cost effective approach to more quickly restore the equilibrium and forage productivity from the previously waterlogged soils.
If you have concerns about the productivity of your saturated land once the conditions improve then Mole Valley Forage Services are able to provide technical background to a range of high quality fertilisers that both provide for the nutrient requirements of the grass plants and also the vital microbial content of the soil.

SweetSusiqThat is a problem for people who really do encounter this species, yet have no picture nor physical proof. A clear daylight sighting is still a sighting for that person even without physical proof of the sighting:( The problem with no proof is that lies can sound as good as truth.

Score from 122 reviews Very good
Breakfast was good. Space in the room too and wifi as well.
Sheets are not ironed so when we got our key to our room it looked like someone had slept in the bed and the sheets had not been changed. When we changed to s other room, it was the same. Reception confirmed the bed linen do not get ironed. Hotel lobby does not smell good when you come in. It's too basic for a Marriott. It feels more like an Ibis Hotel. I was expecting a bit more personality. We went to the Hilton first because the street sign were confusing and the difference between the 2 hotels is very big when it would not take much to feel more welcomed.
Nice big room, great price that I found. Perfect family room. Very clean.
Double Queen suite easily accommodated myself, husband, brother, and father. Having the sitting area was great.
No fan in the shower bathroom. Gets too hot, too steamy, and it needs a good mildew soak.
Clean, comfortable and conveniently located.
contemporary design and room layout, workout room decent
Price was high for the value received, loud guests in the hallway
the room was lovely and very clean wonderful breakfast with many choice helpful, pleasant staff excellent value
the indoor pool was really small you need to drive downtown because there is nothing to do at the airport location
The rooms are confortables and cleans, the breakfast is very good. We had a great time there
Spacious, clean and comfy
Breakfast was poor but complimentary so can't complain
No hot tub and no channels on TV for kids to watch at night.
I liked the fact that this was a very clean, affordable place to stay with employees that are nice, patient and knowledgeable. SLC is an interesting place to visit but we found that the location of this hotel was just far enough to feel like we were able to get away from the city.
Hard to find good coffee. Everything is closed on Sundays.
Fantastic staff - so helpful and friendly. Everything was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed breakfast.
Only negative was that the air con was rather noisy.
Location was good providing you have a car. Really good breakfast. Modern facility
Good breakfast Spacious room
Everything was absolutely great with this hotel.
Great Value,Service and Comfort
Liked everything
inexpensive and roomy
sink has cracked. shower floor is dirty and looked cracked too.
Short stay but all was well.
Size and the cleanliness of the room
No freezer in the mini-fridge
Staff was very friendly
There was no hot tub
Rooms were comfortable and clean. Close to the airport and downtown Salt Lake City. Breakfast was actually awesome!
Very comfortable beds, and the breakfast was good! Enjoyed the modern decorations of the rooms too.
The location of the room to the elevator made for a noisy experience, but not unbearable.
Like a small apartment
I little difficult to find
The room was really big and the staff upgraded us to a king room instead of a queen room. The breakfast was really good.
I wish that there was a Hot tub.
They were very friendly and willing to help. It was clean and tidy.
The beds were only double (not queen). We felt for an 8 day stay, they were too small. The Wi-Fi was quite slow.

Blues Awards honor Benoit, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Musselwhite
Louisiana guitarist Tab Benoit led the winners Thursday evening at the 33rd annual Blues Music Awards at the Memphis Cook Convention Center.
A Baton Rouge native whose swamp roots figure prominently in his music, Benoit won three of the four awards for which he was nominated, including the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award, an honor he previously received in 2007. His other prizes included Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year and Contemporary Blues Album of the Year for his Telarc release, Medicine, bringing his career Blues Music Awards tally to seven.
"This is like the best blues festival on the planet because everybody's here," Benoit said after climbing onto stage to accept the Contemporary Blues Artist award early in the evening. "But the best thing about these awards is that they were voted on by the people who actually listen to us."
Other multiple winners included the Tedeschi Trucks Band, which won Band of the Year and Album of the Year for its Sony release, Revelator, as well as individual honors for its namesake leaders, the married couple of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, who each had their third wins in the Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year and Best Guitarist categories, respectively.
After acknowledging her husband and fans, Tedeschi thanked her fellow nominees who also struggled in a male-dominated industry.
"It's not easy to get out there living in a man's world," she said.
Texas folk blues singer-songwriter Ruthie Foster took home two awards for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year and Best DVD.
More than 1,300 people attended the awards ceremony in the convention center ballroom. Jay Sieleman, executive director of awards organizer The Blues Foundation, said the attendance was a record for the venue, where it has been held for eight out of the past nine years, and a big boon to the nonprofit group in the midst of its Raise the Roof campaign to fund a Blues Hall of Fame at its Downtown headquarters.
"We had a goal this weekend of raising $250,000," he said, adding that the total would put the foundation at $1 million toward the needed $3.5 million. "I'm too busy to count, but I have a $50,000 check in my pocket. When I went to work on Wednesday I had $5,000."
Among Mid-South nominees, The Bo-Keys, Jackie Johnson and Victor Wainwright all went home empty-handed, as did British singer Ian Siegal, whose album, The Skinny, a nominee for Best Contemporary Blues Album, was produced by Cody Dickinson and features contributions from the North Mississippi Allstars.
But Jackson, Miss., resident Bobby Rush did win Soul Blues Album of the Year for his Deep Rush record, Show You A Good Time. And former Memphian Charlie Musselwhite captured Traditional Blues Male Artist of the Year and Best Harmonica Player honors.
The 68-year-old Musselwhite, who delivered a memorable performance at last weekend's Beale Street Music Festival, has won the harmonica award 17 times.
Musselwhite teamed with Hi Records soul great Otis Clay and the Bo-Keys in a performance that kicked off the ceremony, expected to last well into the early morning hours.
The Blues Music Awards are voted on by the more than 4,500 members of the Blues Foundation, a Memphis-based nonprofit organization that represents more than 200 blues societies around the world.
The awards are the highlight of a week of music-related activities that continue through the weekend, including the unveiling of a Mississippi Blues Trail marker at 11 a.m. today at the Blues Foundation's offices at 421 S. Main and various concerts and tributes on Beale Street tonight.

Acer picks DWA as EMEA media agency for Aspire s7 campaign
Acer has appointed independent media agency DWA to handle the EMEA media planning and buying for its Aspire s7 campaign.
DWA has handled the media planning and buying across the EMEA region for the recent campaign by the Taiwanese hardware and electronics company, featuring Hollywood actress Megan Fox.
It is understood that Acer was awarded the business in the run-up to the s5 campaign starring Kiefer Sutherland in August, though it is not clear whether the appointment is a long-term one.
According to sources, the Acer account was previously handled by an in-house unit called Circle Line.
Anton Mitsyuk, EMEA marketing director of Acer, said: "We selected DWA as they demonstrated a significant depth of knowledge and understanding of the international technology sector.
"It's critical that our valued partners bring an insight not just into the category, but also into how media is consumed across all of our key EMEA markets, with a particular emphasis on social media engagement."
David Wood, chief executive of DWA Group, said: "In the global technology sector, Acer is widely recognised as an important pioneer in the personal computing space. With all its brands Acer, which is dominant in a number of primary EMEA markets, is writing a new and important marketing chapter".
DWA works exclusively in the technology sector, with eight offices across EMEA, North America and Asia Pacific.
The Megan Fox spot opens with a short Intel sting. The global Intel media account is handled by OMD.
Acer declined to comment other than to confirm the win.

Taking this with Turmeric...
...because I read that Turmeric needs Bioperine to do its job and the Turmeric I had didnt have this as an ingredient. I had been taking Turmeric for awhile for stiff knees and arthritis pain and it just wasnt doing much for me. I had purchased a HUGE bottle of Turmeric though so I decided to add this to my regimen. I do have to say I have noticed an improvement since adding the Bioperine...my joints arent as achy and stiff as before. I will continue to use this product because it does seem to be helping the Turmeric perform better at least for me. Of course individual results will vary.
Affordable easy to swallow

The Denver Broncos were one of the most intriguing teams in the NFL last season under Tim Tebow. If it's possible, they're even more intriguing with Peyton Manning. The Broncos made the dramatic switch in moving from Tebow to Manning and they're banking on the former Colts quarterback to play like, well, the former Colts quarterback.
Manning's health is the key to the Broncos season. If he's healthy, he plays well and the Broncos probably win the division. If he's not healthy then the Broncos are in some serious trouble.
That's the short answer to the Broncos chances in 2012. The long answer starts with looking back at what happened last season...
More AFC West: Chiefs Offseason Report | Raiders Offseason Report
Last Season
Calling the Broncos 2011 season a roller coaster would be an understatement. The Broncos started the season with Kyle Orton under center and sat at 2-5 after Week 8, their season seemingly lost. But starting with the first game in November, and the move to Tim Tebow as the starting quarterback, the Broncos rattled off six consecutive wins to put themselves in position for a potential playoff berth. In the final three weeks of the season, the Broncos lost games by 18, 26 and four points to finish the season at 8-8, which was good enough for a division title. The Broncos held tiebreakers over both the Raiders and Chargers, who also finished 8-8.
Denver's strength under Tebow was obvious: rushing the ball. They were the No. 1 team in rushing attempts and yards, largely aided by Tebow's 660 rushing yards. The defense finished the season ranked 24th in the league but that doesn't do justice the role they played in the Broncos six-game winning streak.
Best Free Agent Pickup
When the free agent you signed is considered the greatest free agent in history, I think we can safely say it's the best move of the offseason. Peyton Manning signed with the Broncos two weeks after he was released by the Indianapolis Colts and he is the reason the Broncos are considered the favorites in the AFC West.
It's hard to make a more drastic change than going from Tebow to Manning. They are polar opposites on the field. The Broncos were able to win with a style that was best suited for Tebow's skills and from the early reports out of Denver it sounds like the Broncos will tweak their offense to best suit Manning's skills.
He's not a free agent but another notable offseason pickup is defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, former head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Broncos biggest area of improvement needs to be on defense, and Del Rio brings experience to the coaching staff on that side of the ball.
2012 NFL Draft
The Broncos hit on a couple of needs, and a depth move, with their first three picks in the 2012 NFL Draft. Denver moved out of Round 1 and picked up DT Derek Wolfe early in the second round. Wolfe hits on a need for the Broncos along the defensive line. QB Brock Osweiler was picked later in the 2nd round and he's considered the Broncos quarterback of the future. RB Ronnie Hillman, a 3rd round pick, will provide depth behind Willie McGahee, who rushed for 1,199 yards last season. Two 4th round picks, CB Omar Bolden and C Philip Blake, have the potential to start at some point.
Rival Threat
From SB Nation's Mile High Report:
The Broncos are the defending AFC West Champions, and it is hard to say - even for AFC West rivals - that the team got nothing but better during the off-season. We'll start with the obvious in Peyton Manning. The Broncos have upgraded the quarterback position 10-fold and in a league that quarterback play is everything, the Broncos now have one of the best ever calling the signals under center. Add to that improved weapons, especially at tight end in Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen and Denver's offense will much more efficient, and dangerous.
That wasn't the only upgrade. Jack Del Rio is at defensive coordinator after Dennis Allen was hired by the Raiders as their head coach. Del Rio has worked with John Fox in the past, and with two defensive minds like that put together on the coaching staff, Denver is well on its way to putting the D back in the defense.
While mostly quiet on draft day, the Broncos added depth to both sides of the ball. 2nd Round pick Derek Wolfe is going to surprise a lot of people and fans should keep their eyes on 3rd Round pick Ronnie Hillman. He is an explosive playmaker that broke all of Marshall Faulk's records while at San Diego State.
The AFC West may appear to be wide open, but the defending division champs improved as much as anyone and aren't going to give their title away without a fight....
They Make The Playoffs If...
Peyton Manning is Peyton Manning. There's more to it, but if Manning plays like the Manning of old then the Broncos will win the division. Considering the Broncos are the current favorites in the AFC West, most people expect Manning to return to the field just fine. The AFC West is an extremely tight division as it is but an elite quarterback surrounded by a cast of role players like the Broncos have should be enough for Denver to repeat in the AFC West.

Dirtbags Fall In Late Rally At Pepperdine
Feb. 18, 2014
MALIBU, Calif. - A late lead quickly slipped away in the eighth as the Long Beach State Dirtbags fell 6-3 at Pepperdine on Tuesday. The offenses lit up the scoreboard on both ends of the game but it was the pitching that dominated for the middle innings.
The Dirtbags (0-4) took a lead in the eighth inning when Ino Patron laid down a bunt to the right side with two outs and beat everyone to first. Meanwhile, Michael Hill came in to score from third to break the 2-2 tie.
With a 3-2 advantage going into the bottom half of the inning, three different Dirtbag pitchers issued a free pass to four consecutive Wave hitters to tie the game at 3-3. Aaron Barnett then came through with the clutch hit down the right field line that brought all three runners home and led to the 6-3 Pepperdine win. Barnett was 2-for-4 in the game.
The game began with a couple of solo shots as Johnny Bekakis led off the game with a towering homer to left. Jack Ross, who was also 2-for-4 for Pepperdine, matched Bekakis as he hit a solo shot to left to lead off the bottom half of the first. Aaron Brown tripled in another Pepperdine run for a 2-1 Wave lead.
The Dirtbags took advantage of an error in the third to put Bekakis on third and Garrett Hampson on second with one out. A Michael Hill groundout recorded the second out but brought home Bekakis to tie the game at 2-2.
Between the third and the eighth, pitchers from both sides dominated. Ryan Millison came on in relief for the Dirtbags and tossed four scoreless innings. He took over in the fourth and ran into a bit of trouble with two on and two outs but pitched his way out of it unscathed. He retired the last eight batters he faced and struck out four over his eight innings of work.
Matt Maurer carried Pepperdine (3-1) into the sixth as he scattered six hits and allowed two runs (one earned). The Dirtbags threatened in the sixth and he gave way to Chandler Blanchard, who issued a walk out of the gates to load the bases. Blanchard produced an inning ending ground ball to end the threat and went on to pitch 1.2 scoreless innings.
Bekakis and Hampson each finished 2-for-4 for the Dirtbags to lead the effort at the plate. The Dirtbags picked up eight hits in the game.
Jayson Balades picked up the win on the mound despite allowing the go-ahead run in the eighth. Cameron Pongs was charged with the loss after walking two batters in the eighth. Pepperdine's Eric Karch picked up his first save as he pitched out of an early jam in the ninth.
Long Beach State is back at home for two games next weekend and on the road for one. The Dirtbags will take on Arizona State on Friday at 6 p.m.

Music Production & Engineering Courses
Microphone Techniques: Recording and Production
This course is designed to give students the solid background and skill set necessary for successfully planning and implementing recording sessions ranging from single-mic overdubs to full rhythm sections. Throughout the course, students will learn about the various elements of the recording chain, detailed technical characteristics of different microphone types, selecting appropriate microphone models based upon an instrument's sound and the desired outcome, proper handling and setup, close and distant microphone placements for a wide variety of musical instruments, effectively utilizing the recording environment, and managing the demands of complex recording sessions with multiple participants. Each week, students will complete exercises and assignments that help build skills step-by-step and get better acquainted with the microphones available, experiment with both close and distant mic techniques, and by the end of the course, work up to a full-band recording.
Art of Mixing
This course explores the many creative and technical considerations necessary to mix in today's music production environment, regardless of platform or format. This course teaches the different steps of the mixing process, including equalization, panning, dynamic processing (compressors, gates, expanders, and limiters), reverb and delays, as well as automation techniques. The techniques presented apply to any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), or digital or analog console. The course analyzes some of the most famous and revered brands and models of mixing gear, including comparisons between analog and digital outboard gear, plug-in emulations and plug-in processors. It features video, sound, and visual examples based on common platforms such as Pro Tools, Logic, and Digital Performer, as well as a hybrid mix performed on an SSL analog console, combined with Pro Tools and a large variety of outboard gear. Students will be required to deliver a mix every week for critique by the instructor. For each mix assignment, students will use professional recordings especially made for the course, in a variety of styles. The goal of the course is to impart both a technical and artistic approach to mixing, and for students to acquire the core skill set needed to mix multi-track master recordings to a stereo final mix-down suitable for release.
Advanced Mixing and Mastering
This advanced course provides students with a deeper understanding of mixing and mastering tools and techniques that can be applied to a wide variety of styles. Students will engage in in-depth, hands-on examinations of several mix techniques, such as EQ, compression, reverb, delays, and tempo maps, unique to jazz, pop/rock, and electronic music. Students will learn to monitor and apply critical listening to their mixes, add character by using lo-fi techniques, multi-band compression in mastering, and mastering mix using EQ and limiting. These skills will be portable to any kind of studio, regardless of software, hardware, or if the studio is digital or analog-based.
Collaborative Production
Amidst the proliferation of desktop tools available to the modern producer, the traditional process of making music—that is, live performances by ensembles and bands—remains a unique and vital experience that can often yield more compelling results than what can be accomplished alone. However, these settings require a skill set largely unknown to those whose experience in the studio has been solitary. This course will help producers develop the capabilities necessary to succeed in collaborative production environments. The primary focus is on supporting and motivating creative work of writers and performers, coordinating complex projects with numerous participants, and managing the challenges and real-time decision making typical of collaborative recording sessions.
Audio Postproduction for Film and TV
This course will teach students the specific techniques and strategies used by working professionals during the post-production process. Students will learn how to spot, edit, and assemble dialogue, sound effects, foley, and music, in addition to mixing and prepping the audio for film and television using the industry standard, Pro Tools. The course begins with a real-world overview of audio post production, including its evolution, methods, sound crew, and media formats. It then explores techniques and tips for recording location sound, using sound effects libraries, editing production dialogue, and directing and recording a foley session. Students will learn strategies for working with composers and music supervisors, how to edit songs to fit a scene, and how to record and mix score music. In addition, students will learn how to assemble a pre-dub or temp mix (to group and sub-mix tracks into stems for the final dub), create the final dub, and prepare the mix for foreign distribution and final delivery. Contributors to the course material have worked on television and film productions such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Hills, Cider House Rules, U2 Rattle and Hum, Rescue Me, Grey's Anatomy, and many more. Throughout the course, students will have numerous opportunities to apply the techniques to real-world situations. By the end of the course, students will have completed full audio post-production, including sound design (sound effects), foley, dialogue, and music for a short film or portion of a film.
Audio Mastering Techniques
Mastering is the final, critical, step in the post-production process. Audio mastering is a process that relies on a combination of real world experience and knowledge. This course provides students with a thorough understanding of what is involved in creating a final master recording ready for duplication, replication, or online distribution. The course begins with a discussion of acoustics, monitoring, and the digital audio nuts and bolts particular to the mastering process. Students will learn how to make a proper assessment of what needs to be done to a piece of music to fulfill the artist's vision and expectation, and engage in a step-by-step process of optimization, using equalizers and compressors, to reach that vision. Topics include applying signal processing to enhance audio material, noise reduction techniques, advanced editing techniques such as album sequencing and manual gain riding, the importance of quality control, and disc/electronic delivery preparation, as well as other popular techniques in the field of audio mastering, including enhancing the stereo field of a master, and cutting edge filtering and fading techniques. This course will equip students with a professional level understanding of the day-to-day mastering process, enabling them to create a level matched, hi-fidelity, error free, and duplication-ready master with associated documentation.
Music Production: From Preproduction to Final Audio Master
This course focuses on the skills needed to produce music on a professional level, including leading a creative team, collaboration, employing appropriate interpersonal communication skills, budgeting, scheduling, time management, using technology in a variety of production and engineering tasks, listening, arranging, and striving for and achieving professional standards of fidelity and musicality. The course begins by exploring the key concepts of listening, conveying emotion, artist identity, vision, and intention. It then introduces the LRA (Listen, Respond, Act) technique, which you will put into action while producing a sound-alike project. The project involves remaking an important, pivotal, or hit recording entirely from scratch, note for note—replicating the sounds, performances, feel, and especially the emotional impact of the original. Through this process, you will learn strategies to achieve professional standards and effectively convey emotion. During the course, you will be required to assemble personnel for two large-scale production projects: a sound-alike of a hit recording, and a single for an original recording artist. The recording artist can be a singer-songwriter, rapper, or band. Note that you will need to pitch your artist(s) to your instructor, who will be playing the role of a record company A&R representative, and must ensure that all necessary personnel are available for the recording session.
Record Production for Musicians
For non-MPED majors, this course takes the student through the fundamental steps necessary for any music production project: defining the goals of the recording project; selecting composers, arrangers, players, and singers as appropriate; choosing and making the most of the technical resources available to fit the defined goals and budget; working with fellow musicians; critically evaluating performance; and orchestrating and motivating all of the participants, from rehearsal to recording and final mix. Two multi-track production projects are required.
Digital DJing Technique
Students will expand their analog DJ skills from ILEN-333 Turntable Techniques into the digital world with digital vinyl systems and MIDI controllers. The class will focus on learning popular DJ software to become proficient at performing in real world situations. Students will explore ways to remix live, organize their music library, edit songs for live performance and prepare sets. Weekly lab time will be required to complete class objectives.
Vocal Technologies for Records
This course addresses recorded vocal performances and the technologies used to highlight and support them in modern record production and mixes. The course explores the sonic evolution of vocals as the focal point of modern recordings with a signature that has moved from simple mix placement, dynamics processing, and time based effects to advanced concepts in audio editing, synthetic processing, automatic and graphic pitch correction, time compression, time expansion, flex, and elastic audio. Through analysis and hands-on processing of selected projects, the student will gain an understanding of the many choices available to modern record producers as they record and mix with a modern tool set that includes the vintage Talk Box, the Vocoder, Auto Tune, Melodyne, Elastic Audio, Flex Time, Vocalign, tempo based editing, and a host of other file modification protocols that are readily available on most digital audio workstations.
Orchestral Recording Techniques
This advanced engineering elective course introduces students to contemporary classical orchestras, as well as to nontraditional orchestras, such as period instrument, film scoring, or other large acoustic ensembles. The course explores recording techniques from historical (e.g. mono Koussevitzky recordings) through stereo and surround recording techniques. Through hands-on experience on the scoring stage, students will learn about the set up, recording, and mix of large ensembles.
Control Surface Mixing Techniques
This course explores the functional operation of Digidesign's DAW controller, the D-Control ES (ICON), used in multitrack mixdown of digital master recordings. The emphasis is on basic and intermediate operation of the hardware, with consideration given to critical listening and the aesthetics of mixing. Topics covered include overview and detailed instruction in operation of the surface, common DAW procedures and protocol, data management, signal flow, editing, and digital signal processing (plug-ins) in Pro Tools. Projects consist of mixing prerecorded multitrack files.

We stayed in a kitchenette, it was very spacious and comfortable. The flooring was outdated and not fitted properly with gaps but it was ok. The view from the front door was breathtaking. The pool and hot tub were great, the pool was deeper than most hotels and the gym facilities were good also. They charged $20 for us to bring the dog but at least we could have her there. The bed was comfortable but small.
