I grew up in the suburbs. We lived about 30 minutes outside of fabulous downtown Hartford, Connecticut, in a little burg crisscrossed by the interstate and assailed by fast food restaurants dying to get a piece of property in our little town. I lived in the part of town where all the farms were slowly being conquered by developments, a pretty lengthy bike ride from anything of interest.
Overall, growing up there wasn't bad. We were comfortable, the schools were decent, if underfunded, and crime was nearly nonexistent. Of course, growing up in this environment also meant long sessions spent in the blistering hell of boredom. This forced us to devise our own methods of entertainment, which by high school, often involved what Ben Folds calls "rockin' the suburbs."
My town was full of kids who had quite a bit of money, but didn't have a clue what to do with it (IRA? What's that?). This led to a war of car stereos, many of which were suped up to epic proportions for maximum suburb-rocking capabilities. I'll never forget playing a Beethoven CD on my friend Dan's 30-megaton sub-woofers-- it didn't exactly rock, but it sure sounded messed up. More often, it was the strains of Pearl Jam or Sir Mix-a-Lot wafting across parking lots and shaking the paint off of nearby houses.
I can imagine Ben Folds approving of our stereo wars. After all, he knows as well as any of us just how much boredom the suburbs can generate on a given day, and he seems to know his place as a suburban musical phenomenon. He even hired Ben Grosse of Filter and Fuel fame to produce his first solo album. "I got the quintessential suburb-rocking producer to work for me. He knows all the sliders and knobs that denote the rocking of suburbs," says Folds of his choice.
Largely, his choice seems to have paid off, as his new album is a pretty enjoyable romp that will almost certainly be rocking the suburbs for at least a few months. Rockin' the Suburbs finds Folds largely backing off from the dramatic chamber-pop that characterized his last outing with Ben Folds Five, instead bringing in former Beck cohort DJ Swamp to provide beats for a few tracks, and playing most of the instruments himself (he's actually not a bad drummer or bassist). John Mark Painter's string arrangements can still be found on a few songs here, including a couple of the best ones, but they're decidedly downplayed.
"Annie Waits" opens the album on an upbeat note, with a Swamp-provided beat and rolling Steinway. Folds intones in his trademark "I'm not a singer, but I'm singing anyway" voice, inaugurating the first tale of suburban alienation, loneliness, and, of course, boredom. If there's one thing Folds has developed over the years, it's an extremely distinctive melodic sense, and there's not a song here that fails to hook you at least somewhere.
The highlight of the album comes at about the midpoint, with the quietly waltzing "Fred Jones Part 2," a remarkably mature portrait of a man who loses his job at a newspaper to a young go-getter after years of faithful service. It's one of his finest ballads and it demonstrates admirably the effect that simple words can have. One of the things I've always liked about Folds' more serious songs was that he rarely reaches for poetry, opting usually to just lay his thoughts out for you in plain sight.
This approach serves him well on songs like "The Ascent of Stan," about an aging hippy who became The Man he once spoke out against. Then there's "Not the Same," a bizarre tale of a stoner who becomes born again after a drug experience. It helps, naturally, that both of these songs possess great melodies and interesting music to back them up. But elsewhere, the music is merely serviceable, and the stories are predictable, such as on "Zak and Sara," which tells the vague tale of a bored girlfriend sitting around while her boyfriend buys a guitar.
And then, of course, there's the single and title track, "Rockin' the Suburbs," which attempts to do to the modern rock mainstream what "Underground" did to the indie rock scene all those years ago. About half of it succeeds, with hilarious exchanges like, "I got shit running through my brain/ So intense that I can't explain/ All alone in my white boy pain/ Shake your booty while the band complains," squaring off against weak lines about driving to the store for some Preparation H.
Folds obviously sees right through the false rage of bands like Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach, but he ends up leveling his guns on himself with lines like, "You better watch out because I'm gonna say fuck." Does anyone remember "Army?" Or how about the song that immediately follows, "Fired?" It ends with a big, harmonized choir of Ben Foldses shouting "Motherfucker!" It's hard to understand why Folds still feels like he has to include this kind of thing on his albums, when most of his songwriting points to the fact that he could easily move beyond it. At any rate, the irony is thicker than cheesecake.
Rockin' the Suburbs ends with "The Luckiest," a sappy ballad about watching the birth of his child, but after the debacle of the two previous songs, I don't so much mind. At least Folds is being honest when he sings about loving his wife and child. I'm just waiting for the day when Folds finally stops trying to be a novelty.
When and if that day comes, he may yet make an album that lives up to the promise of the Five's debut, while demonstrating the maturity he's acquired over the years to full effect. For now, you've got Rockin' the Suburbs, a worthy, but occasionally frustrating album that's fairly good for what its title suggests. Hell, it's probably being wielded in some stereo war back home right now. For that, at least, it beats the shit out of Beethoven.

Some TV news catch-up you should be aware...
First, Salim Akil will write, produce and direct a docu-style comedy titled Mr. Director, which will take audiences on a trip through "Black Hollywood," with Akil himself starring, playing a version of himself, as he navigates the peaks and valleys of the Hollywood machine. I actually dig this idea. It could be fresh, instructive, informative and outright entertaining.
Second, Debra Martin Chase, via her ABC Studios-based Martin Chase Productions, will executive produce a Catherine The Great mini-series, based on a best-selling novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Massie, which will center on the Russian empress' rise to become the world's richest and most powerful woman of her time. Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning Michael Cristofer will pen the script.
And finally, Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios has signed Divorce Court's Judge Mablean Ephriam, to star in the a 5th court show for the company, titled Justice with Judge Mablean, which joins Entertainment Studios' already existing stable of 4 courtroom shows, including America's Court with Judge Ross, We the People with Gloria Allred, Supreme Justice with Judge Karen and Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez. How many court shows does one entertainment company need to have in its library? They must be profitable. Cheap to make.
And now you know...
Boone | November 13, 2013 2:07 PM
I'd be excited about "Mr. Director" if Salim was actually funny. Have you ever had a conversation with that guy?
ALM | November 13, 2013 1:00 PM
I like judge Lynn, but I (and a lot of other people) have missed judge Mablean being on tv.
Reelblack | November 12, 2013 10:40 PM
I'm always amazed by Byron Allen. The guys spent like 30 years in Hollywood and he's rich as hell. He's never had a scandal or a high profile lawsuit or divorce. He just stays in his lane.

One Month
Dear Millie,
A month ago you were freed from your pain. I miss you more each day but I am happy for you.
In December we learned that it was not likely you would survive. In February we were told you were out of options. We all refused to quit and fought on. When bad news came it was very hard on your mom and me. I felt like I had failed you. I felt that if I was unable to protect you from this that I wasn't good for anything. I was heartbroken. We never gave up hope and knew you were capable of miracles, and you showed us many.
I know you did everything you could, and I know your mom and I did everything we could.
During those hard months I mourned your loss. On May 17th, two months and one day from today - our 10 year anniversary, we learned that there were no more options, and this time there was absolutely nothing we could do about it. What a bittersweet thing it was to hold you and love you, knowing that your time was limited, but protecting you from the pain of worrying about it. I am so grateful I got those extra months with you.
Those were not easy months for any of us, but they were especially tough for you. I know that those extra months were for your mom and me. I know that we needed the time to accept that this was what was best for you. You didn't complain much, but I can imagine how hard those months were for you.
You were too little to truly understand how brave you were or how many people you inspired. I wish I could have explained it to you, and I certainly tried.
I will never forget one of the last things you said the night before you left this life. I left the room in tears, horrified that I had to watch you suffer and that I had to let you go. You turned to your mom and said "tell dad to think of his brave Millie."
I miss you terribly, but I have not mourned your loss this past month. You suffered enough. I love you too much to wish you were still here suffering. I need you here with me, but I know that God did what was best for you. All I ever wanted was what was best for you, and if living the rest of this life without you is what is best for you, then I will not complain. I will be brave for you.
We have tried to serve others in your name. This year's Millie's Princess Run was amazing. I can't believe how many people helped, and know you were proud. We are not done. We have big plans for how to help others. I feel you close to me when I help others - frankly my desire to serve may be a bit selfish at this point.
I must have told you this hundreds of times but I will say it again. You are my hero. I am so proud to be your dad, and I hope I can be a better person so that when we meet again you will be proud of me too.

I wanted you to know that my Millie will be wearing the cake top designed by your Millie.

Brady and Amanda,
I've followed you for years along your journey in Europe and then back home and through the years of cancer with your darling Millie. I stopped blogging about six months ago, and the thought came to me to check on your sweet girl. I'm heartbroken to hear she's on the other side now. As a new mom, I have admired your guy's strength and faith in your sweet little girl. Thank you Millie for teaching so much in your life. You are a blessing.

LOS ANGELES – It was one more lap around the victory track for the AMC-TV show 'Breakling Bad,' as the gritty drama about a teacher turned meth dealer took home six Primetime Emmy Awards at the 66th ceremony on August 25th. 'Modern Family' took home the statue for Outstanding Comedy Series for a a fifth straight year.

Film Review: Russell Crowe Goes Hitchcockian in 'The Next Three Days'Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 19, 2010 - 10:18am
CHICAGO – The suspense thriller is a delicate art that depends on situational realism and unlikely circumstances cohabiting in a heart-pounding plot. The Master of the genre was Alfred Hitchcock, who often put ordinary people in these nail biting scenarios. Director Paul Haggis ("Crash") uses this theme and does the Master proud in "The Next Three Days."
Blu-Ray Review: Girl Power Drives Entertaining 'Whip It'Submitted by BrianTT on February 2, 2010 - 11:58am
CHICAGO – Drew Barrymore's directorial debut "Whip It" is the kind of fun, girl-power driven comedy that I honestly expected would find a huge word-of-mouth audience in theaters. Its absolutely dismal box office ($13 million) was one of the biggest financial surprises of 2009. People are likely to catch up with the Ellen Page comedy on Blu-ray and DVD.

The Mary Sue Exclusive Preview of Worlds' Finest #11 With Huntress and Power Girl!
The Mary Sue Exclusive
This month is "WTF" month at DC Comics, which they assure us stands for "What The Fifty-two." What this means, tangibly, is that each New 52 issue out in April will feature a cover that's... well, based on what I've seen, no more sensationalist than your average sensationalist comics cover. The promise this time, however, is that the stuff on these covers is actually representative of what's inside, and that each cover is part of a double spread, with the other half of the image revealing an even more sinister twist to the story. Here's a preview of Worlds' Finest #11, the book of dimensional refugees, renegade-superheros, and best buds Power Girl and the Huntress. Read More

Some things about your body are going to change over time. But, you can make lifestyle choices that give you the best possible life in your senior years. Let's take a look at the major areas where you can make improvements that will help you to have a high quality life as you get older.
When you eat healthy foods, you give your body what it needs to get strong and to heal. Nutrition is critical to keep your memory, muscles, and bones strong. It can also provide you with the energy you need to complete tasks.
Exercise is another critical component of healthy aging. Weight bearing exercise helps to keep muscles toned and your bones strong. Aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming help to keep your heart and lungs healthy.
It's also important as you age to continue to keep current with health screenings for your body. For example you should have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE WAS A TECHNICAL ISSUE< BUT WE FIXED AND CONTINUED THE SHOW> PLEASE LISTEN TO ENTIRE SHOW...THANKS: It's time to look at the fun side of relationships! Humor is the best medicine for building stronger relationships, but you need to know the limits. Hopkins and I want to share how you can have healthy interactions with others by learning to "lighten up"! We need to stop taking ourselves so seriously and find the right balance in using humor in our daily lives. Look at the silly side of things and you won't find yourself involved in such stressful interactions. How do you handle conflict? What do you do in order to deflect a stressful interaction?

Kickstart Your Nursing Career with Advice from Dean Kathleen Potempa
in Health
According to the, American Association of Colleges of Nurses, employment for Nurses will increase significantly over the next few years in comparison to most occupations.
Nursing is the nation's largest health care profession, totaling over 3.1 million RN's across the US. Regardless of the fields current status, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment for RN's will grow faster than many other jobs through 2018.
Being a Nurse is a very rewarding profession that offers various job placement opportunities, but it takes hard work and perseverance. In 2011, a national study revealed that the acceptance rate for nursing schools across the country was approximately 39.5%. So to make sure you are included in that percentage, we are speaking with Dr. Kathleen Potempa, Dean and Professor at the University of Michigan School of Nursing, for her expert advice to help the next generation of students seeking a career as a Nurse. Dr. Potempa has extensive experience within the medical profession including:
32 years' experience as a scientist, educator, and administrator.
Several notable awards such as the Oregon Medical Research Foundation Mentor Award that she received in 2002, the Distinguished Alumni Award from Rush University in 2003 and being Named one of 2004's Fifty Great Leaders of Oregon by Business magazine amongst others
Dr. Potempa has dedicated much research towards health within physically impaired populations in conjunction with her community-based research to improve health behavior.

Executive Brief: Optimize Your Enterprise - Fuel Your Growth With Data in the Cloud
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Customer intelligence is one of the most important strategic assets any company possesses. I've experienced that myself firsthand, having managed enterprise data programs for more than 20 years.
The good news is there's more customer information - and so, more opportunity - than ever before. Information is everywhere - in your enterprise systems, in external data sources, in emerging channels like social media.
That's also the bad news. There's so much information out there that it can be really hard to harness and make sense of this data.

text: The card master: Why Max Butler crowned himself king of a global online fraud network 07 February 11 by Kevin Poulsen Tweet Wilson Hennessy A Long Island carder, Jonathan Giannone, whom Butler and Aragon had discovered as a teenager, was hiding a secret.On August 16, 2006, the same day Butler had absorbed his rivals, Secret Service agents arrested Giannone at his parents' house for selling some of Butler's dumps to an informant known as Gollumfun. Giannone, 21, was released on bail and told nobody about the bust. To him, it was just a bump in the road -- how much trouble could he really get in for selling 29 dumps?Federal criminal trials are rare. Most defendants opt to take a plea deal in exchange for a slightly shortened sentence, or limit their exposure by becoming an informant. But Giannone liked his odds: most cases don't hinge on the undercover work performed by an active computer criminal. Soon after he'd snitched on Giannone, Brett "Gollumfun" Johnson had gone on a four-month cross-country crime spree. He wouldn't make a very good witness for the prosecution.But, after a day of deliberation, the verdict came in: guilty. The first federal trial of the carding underground was over. A week later, Giannone, facing a lengthy prison term, was summoned from his cell at Lexington County Jail. He instantly recognised the Secret Service agents waiting for him: they were Johnson's handlers and had testified at Giannone's trial. Giannone told them everything he knew: Iceman lived in San Francisco, did a brisk business in dumps, sometimes used the aliases Digits and Generous to sell his goods. He used hacked Wi-Fi to cover his tracks. A Mongolian woman called "Tea" was his Russian translator.Most crucially, he had a partner named Christopher Aragon in Orange County, California. You want Iceman? Get Chris Aragon. The revelations electrified the agents tracking Iceman. When Mularski had typed Aragon's name into the FBI's case-management system, he found another case, in which a suspected real-estate fraudster had described Aragon's dumps supplier as a tall, pony-tailed man he knew as "Max the Hacker". It got better. Way back in December 2005, another fraudster involved in the same case had told the FBI about introducing Aragon to the superhacker Max Butler after his release from Taft prison on a previous hacking charge. The interviewing agent was interested only in real-estate fraud and hadn't pursued the lead.Now Mularski and his Secret Service counterparts had a name. Giannone's statements confirmed it. Iceman had told Giannone that he was once raided as a suspect in the hacking of the source code for the game Half-Life 2. Mularski ran another search and saw there were only two US search warrants executed in that investigation: one was against Max Ray Butler. Iceman's identity had been hidden in the government's computers all along. Knowing Iceman's identity wasn't the same as having proof, though. The Feds had enough for a search warrant, but they didn't have the location of Butler's safe house. Worse, Giannone had tipped them that Iceman used DriveCrypt. That meant that even if they tracked down Butler's address, they couldn't count on finding evidence on his hard drive. They could bust down Butler's door, then watch him walk out of a courtroom 24 hours later on bail or a signature bond. With an international network of fake ID vendors and identity thieves at his beck and call, Butler might vanish, never to be seen again. They needed to sew up the case before making a move. Mularski decided Chris Aragon was the key.

But the other two people involved in today's announcement, UFC President Dana White and Couture's opponent on November 15, Brock Lesnar, showed significantly less respect for Fedor.
After several media questions about Fedor, Lesnar finally snapped and said,
"Who gives a s--- about Fedor? I'm fighting Randy Couture. I don't give a damn about Fedor. I'm sick and tired of hearing about f---ing Fedor."
White wasn't quite as animated when talking about Fedor, but he was similarly annoyed. When it was suggested that Fedor is the best MMA fighter in the world, White suggested that Fedor should stop ducking the UFC.
"I want to see if he's the best," White said of Fedor. "Come and find out. ... Randy Couture is relevant. Fedor is not."
I asked Couture whether he thinks that if he retires without having fought Fedor, something will be missing from his legacy, and conversely, whether he thinks if Fedor never fights in the UFC, something will be missing from his legacy.
Couture clearly has more respect for Fedor than Lesnar or White has, but he echoed White's basic sentiment.
"I don't think anything is missing from my legacy," Couture said. "I can retire today and be perfectly fine. I'm fighting because I love to fight. Do I want to fight Fedor? Absolutely. Most people consider him the No. 1 heavyweight and I want to take that from him. As a competitor that's important to me. ... If he wants to be the No. 1 heavyweight he needs to come and fight me."

Are the Baltic States Next?
Ted Galen Carpenter, The National Interest
The Associated Press
It would not be a shock if at some point the Kremlin decided to press its interests regarding the Baltic republics. Russian-speaking inhabitants in both Estonia and Latvia (descendants of settlers sent by Moscow during the Soviet era) have long complained about discrimination at the hands of their governments. Putin has an ideal pretext if he wishes to try to pry those countries out of the Western orbit. True, it would entail a greater risk than his adventures in Georgia and Ukraine, given NATO's explicit Article 5 security guarantees to members. But Putin has already shown himself to be a bit of a gambler.

text: Colorado Public Utilities Commission For Your Information T-8 ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT OPERATOR SERVICE (AND INMATE SERVICE) PROVIDERS Have you made a local or long-distance call from a hotel or pay phone using an operator and charged that call to a home or business number? If so, you later saw the charges for that call appear on your home or business phone bill, perhaps under the listing of a company name you didn't recognize. And, perhaps the charges were higher than you expected. If this sounds familiar, chances are that your call was placed by an "Operator Service Provider," or OSP. Many hotels, hospitals, shopping centers, airports, correctional facilities, colleges and universities contract with OSPs. And, many of the private pay phones you see in public places are serviced by alternative operator companies rather than by the operator services of your local phone company. After reading this information, you will know more about the rules that apply to operator service providers, and what steps you can take as a consumer to minimize any surprises on your phone bill. BASIC INFORMATION For many years, all operator services in Colorado were deregulated. Effective June 30, 1992, however, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) adopted rules regulating certain services provided by all operator service companies. The rules apply only to intrastate operator-assisted calls made within Colorado. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has authority over operator service companies for calls made from one state to another, but does not set their rates other than to establish a ceiling for prices. All companies legally providing regulated operator services in Colorado must have permission from the PUC to conduct business in the state and may only charge rates at or below benchmarks approved by the Commission. INMATE SERVICE PROVIDERS Inmate service providers are a special type of operator services provider. As the name suggests, inmate services companies provide the telephone and operator services to local, state or federal correctional facilities. Inmate service providers are not regulated by the PUC. These companies To reach PUC Consumer Affairs: 1560 Broadway, Suite 250, Denver, CO 80202 303-894-2070 (local); 1-800-456-0858 (toll-free) firstname.lastname@example.com contract directly with the correctional facilities and set their own rates, terms and conditions for service. The PUC cannot assist with complaints about how rates are determined, restrictions on telephone use, method of payment, etc., at correctional facilities. WHAT TYPES OF OPERATOR SERVICES ARE REGULATED? In Colorado, the PUC regulates what are called "non-optional" operator services. Examples of non- optional operator service calls include: • Credit card calls. Credit card or calling card calls made by dialing 800/888, 950 or 10XXX or 1010XXX access; • Collect calls. Reversing the charges to the number being called; • Local or long distance third-number billed calls. Charging a call to a third number or party; • Person-to-person calls. Using an operator to connect with a specific individual; • Emergency calls. Using an operator to place a call to a law enforcement or other emergency agency; • Calls by people with disabilities. Calls made by individuals who identify themselves as disabled to the extent that they are unable to complete a call without operator assistance. In addition to inmate services, operator services that are NOT regulated include: • Directory assistance; • Foreign language operator services; • Operator-assisted audio or video conference calling; • Operator-assisted voice messaging or electronic mailing. • Debit-card calls; • Travel card services. OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATOR SERVICE PROVIDERS The PUC establishes benchmarks (or ceilings) for regulated operator services rates. It also imposes a number of other requirements on operator service providers through a series of formal rules that carry the force of law. The rules require that the operator service provider identify itself at the beginning of a call before any charges have been incurred, and also a second time prior to connecting the call. The operator must disclose immediately upon request the rates or charges for the customer's intended call, and allow the customer to terminate the call at no charge before it is connected. Hotels, motels, pay phone owners and other call aggregators (any person or business that uses a specific provider for operator services) must display signs near their telephones that identify the operator service provider. The service must tell callers they have the right to use their preferred long distance carrier, and the operator must connect them to their choice of carrier. 2 PRIVATE PAY PHONES The PUC is precluded by the federal and state government from the regulation of private, or customer-owned, pay phones. Although the non-optional operator services connected with these phones are regulated, the PUC has no control over charges for making a local call, time limits, or other restrictions. HOW TO AVOID SURPRISES ON YOUR PHONE BILL If you are traveling and need to make calls from a pay phone or a motel, there are steps you can take to prevent excessive calling charges: • Use calling cards for known companies and rates. • Carry your long-distance access code with you and use it when making a long-distance call. • Listen for the name of your long-distance company after you dial. If your company name is not announced, hang up and try again, possibly from another telephone. • Insist that the operator switch you to the long-distance company of your choice. • Ask what the charges will be before you make the call. If you have problems or complaints about operator service companies, contact the PUC's Consumer Affairs section. (3/07) 3

Light Pollution: Taking Back the Night Sky
Feb 13, 2002 — The invention of electric lights at the end of the 19th Century ended the ancient tyranny of darkness over our lives. Turning on the lights at night has allowed us to make every hour count. But while nighttime lighting has given us unprecedented security and uncountable opportunities, we may be reaching the point where we have too much of a good thing. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Ed Janus reports on two people involved in an international effort to turn the lights down a little and take back the night. Go to full article

Recycling Computers
Feb 04, 2002 — As older computers become obsolete, we're faced with a dilemma: what to do with the out-of-date equipment? The problem will only grow as personal computers become a stock item in more and more households. But so far, the manufacturers, the recycling industry, and the government don't have a plan in place to deal with the old equipment. That's a problem because some of that equipment contains lead, mercury, and other toxic materials that can cause damage to the environment and people's health.
