Gov't cuts budget closer to the bone than predicted
THE Government is cutting the 2013/14 budget by $21 billion, carving out a huge and unexpected slice of its recurrent estimates in addition to the cuts in capital expenditure that had been predicted.
Financial analysts and other economic experts had predicted that the Government would have cut $12 billion - $16 billion from the budget — focusing primarily on cuts in capital expenditure, especially Capital B estimates that are financed by bilateral and multilateral arrangements — to close a $11 million - $12 million gap created by under-performing tax revenues.
But, the estimates tabled by Finance and Planning Minister Dr Peter Phillips in the House of Representatives yesterday cut much closer to the bone, carving as much $12 billion from the recurrent or housekeeping expenses. This will severely limit spending by its ministries, departments and agencies, at least until the current financial year ends on March 31, while capital expenditure was cut by $9 billion,
Reacting to yesterday's outcome, the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party said that the figures confirmed the extent to which the Government has boxed itself into a corner, by failing to focus on growth and pursuing contractionary policies with little option but to drastically slash expenditure.
Opposition spokesman on finance Audley Shaw said it was clear that, in a desperate attempt to compensate for the significant underperformance of revenues, the Government had moved to drastically slash expenditure across the board.
"This supplemental budget merely confirms the validity of the concerns the Opposition raised as early as last April during the budget debate, where we cautioned the Government against overly contracting the economy," Shaw said in a release.
He added that the Government has been focusing on taxation instead of growth, making unrealistic revenue projections and racking up significant arrears to its creditors.
However, the biggest cuts in the supplementary estimates were in Phillips' own finance and planning ministry where, for example, $10 billion was cut from interest payments on outstanding Government bonds. There was also a $1.8-billion cut in the allocation for pension payments in the public sector.
Recurrent expenditure in both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health was protected with increases in housekeeping allocations of $8 billion and $4 billion respectively.
The estimates will be reviewed by the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee tomorrow after which they will be sent to the House of Representatives for approval next week.

Maybe the acc needs to offer wvu to regain stability
Remember last year when the big east was falling apart . . . It still is but there's nothing really left to fall apart from at this point - and west Virginia was trying to get out anyway it could? The acc thought itself too good for wvu then, but maybe it needs to reconsider. I hate west Virginia, but if it keeps this football conference together so be it. Yes it would mean a step down in terms of money, but traveling across the country to Texas and Ok can't be ideal for the athletics program. Anything to keep fsu in the conference - note I also hate them. And while I am at it I hate Miami. If Miami was still a national player, the acc would be Legitimate and none of this would be an issue!

End of story.
Maybe the Raiders reached because they thought another team was going to reach and take him. They found their player of the future and werent going to let him get away. Jerry Rice got away. Jerry Rice was very simular is size, speed, and skill as Darrius HeyWard-Bey. A difference is possibly worse defenses back in Jerry's day (that was a reach). Or maybe is was Joe. Or maybe it was that Niner O-line. Bill Walsh. -Al wasnt a great teacher as Bill and Bill wasnt a business man, as Al. DHB had a bad team and a bad QB. End of story?

A broken arm of two weeks ago has not healed correctly so surgery is required tomorrow. The loan on the new house is coming due and it requires an extension from the bank as the house is not completed yet. The meeting is at the bank tomorrow.
The Penrod Art Fair is only one day. So rather than drive 4 hours to visit with no one and go to a fair we attend because it is family time, Ron and I are staying home to do things in the family room and other parts of the house here. Soon we will be in INDY again to help Wes and Annie move and yet again in October for Marianne and Eric's wedding.
Twas not meant to be...Best weekend ever to you all.
Thanks be to God.

A hot breakfast meal that's definitely a new favorite of mine to make in the morning. A different way to make eggs interesting and delicious again with a little southwestern influence. Personally I prefer mine with a hotter salsa to liven things up as well as mushrooms mixed into the salsa. A modified recipe from one on Foodnetwork. I've also upped the amount of salsa based on the review and I think mushrooms added to this would be great as well.

CRICKET: Seasiders surge into second spot
6:00pm Sunday 29th June 2014 in Sport By Dan Rose, Sports Reporter
BROADSTONE 207 (7pts) lost to Weymouth 153-6 (revised target 150) (19pts) by 4 wickets
WEYMOUTH'S remarkable Premier One campaign continues to thrive after they defeated fellow high-flyers Broadstone to surge into the division's top two.
Bowling first, the Seasiders endured an opening stand of 73 from the home side at Delph Woods before eventually making inroads and dismissing Broadstone for 207 in 42.2 overs.
Seamer David Trotter was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 4-54 from his 10-over stint.
In reply, Weymouth were set a reduced target of 150 to win off 36 overs due to heavy showers later in the afternoon that took time out of the game.
But the curtailed innings did not prove a distraction for Kieron Womble's troops and they knocked off the runs convincingly to seal a 19-point haul.
On reflection, the Weymouth captain believes the results his side have secured over the last two weeks have laid down a marker to the rest of the Premier One sides, showing they are not just a surprise package, but real title contenders.
He told Echosport: "To beat Parley, who are top of the league, and Broadstone, who were second, definitely shows we are challenging.
"I think there is now a belief that we can go and beat these top teams."
Commenting on his side's victory, he added: "They got off to a good start but we pegged them back and stuck at it.
"We kept taking wickets and eventually had them out in 42 overs.
"David Trotter bowled superbly to start the comeback, and Jim Ryall and Matt Lawes put on a superb partnership to see us on our way with the bat."
Praised by club chairman John Ryan last week for the Seasiders' resurgence under his captaincy, Womble was also keen to reiterate that there are a vast amount of leaders in his squad.
"I think people know it is quite a tough job," he added.
"There are a lot of captains in the squad who have done it and they know how hard it is.
"People are really trying to pull their weight for the club to make it successful.
"It's great to see, and the club is a really good place to be at the moment."

Judge: Lawyer Not 'Unjustifiably Abused, Belittled, Humiliated, Threatened, Undermined or Bullied'
Posted May 18, 2012 4:05 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Describing a "regrettable" email exchange between two Melbourne law firm colleagues and friends as "a classic storm in a teacup," an Australian judge has nixed a seven-figure damages claim by a former partner who said she was undermined, humiliated and harassed after she went on maternity leave.
Partner Fiona Brown, who previously headed the family law department at Maurice Blackburn Cashman, said she was unable to work after the alleged mistreatment by Lee Formica in 2003. She also contended that then-managing partner Michael Brett-Young.did nothing to stop it, the Age reports.
However, County Court Judge John Carmody held in a Friday decision that Brown hadn't proven she was "'unjustifiably abused, belittled, humiliated, threatened, undermined or bullied."
Formica had been recruited by Brown and served as acting head of the department while Brown was on leave.
Brown was ordered by Carmody to pay costs, which are likely to add up to six figures.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the next offseason for the Rams. Well I'm going to do that too, bu that's not all. I thought it would be nice to look at what the Rams do have and then we can build off of that. I categorized everyone on the team into the following categories: Players to build around, Players that need to go/aren't NFL quality, players too unproven to truly categorize, players that make the cut/players for the future, and of course, players on the bubble. There are a couple that may not be agreed upon by everyone, but I think the players we need to build around are pretty much universally acceptable, with maybe the exception of one, but we'll see. So here I go.
Players to Keep and Build around
WR Avery-- we can build around him with a big tall athletic receiver, Fitzgerald/Bryant type.
HB Jackson
FB Karney
LT Smith
C Brown
RG Incognito-- no matter how hated he has been, when he is under control, he is a pretty good guard
OLB Witherspoon--getting older but still good enough to build around for the next few years.
MLB Lauranitus
CB Bartell
SS Butler
FS Atogwe
Special Teams
P Jones-- after today, I'm not so sure, but I'm assuming it was a fluke
K Brown
Players that Need to Go/Aren't NFL Quality
QB Boller
HB Gado
HB Darby
WR Carter
C Setterstrom
OLB Lenon
DT Carriker
CB Butler
FS Roach
Players that haven't shown enough to tell
(Maybe means not good enough to be in NFL)
QB Null
OG Allen III
WR Foster
WR Jones
OT Trautwein
WR Martin-- if he ever plays he could be big for us-- we'll see
WR Gibson-- Have no Idea about this guy yet, I guess we'll see.
DE Ah You (has been solid but still unproven)
DT Douzable
DT Scott
LB Douglas
S Smith
DT Ramsey
LB Grant
Players who make the cut/ not centerpieces/ average young players
(will be on the roster next year)
WR Burton
WR Robinson
WR Amendola
OL Greco
TE Fells
TE Bajema
DT Ryan
S Dahl
CB Fletcher
Players on the bubble/ depends on draft picks and signings
QB Bulger (if we don't draft a QB first round, he'll likely stay)
OT Barron
LG Bell
OL Goldberg
TE McMichael
DE Little
DE Long
DE Adeyanju
DT Gibson-- has played well but if we get a big DT, who knows
CB King
CB Wade
OLB Vobora
LS Massey
Free agents to be at season's end
QB Boller
TE McMichael
OG Incognito
OT Barron
DE Adeyanju
DE Little
DT Ryan
CB Wade
Needs: Big #1 Receiver, DT, DE, CB, Decent Backup HB for SJax, O-line, TE, OLB and of course, QB
While the needs cover every position on the field besides safety and kickers, we still could improve greatly next year by filling 2 or 3 of the big ones (DT, WR, QB). Hopefully we can get a good, immediate impact second rounder again, like Lauranitus, since it is basically a late first round pick we will have.
For TE, Scheffler and Daniels are both FA's, if either one of them doesn't get resigned, I'd suck them up pretty quickly. Also Fasano. Hopefully we can get one of them or find one in the mid-late rounds of the draft. Maybe Pitta in the third
For WR, free agency may not be an option anymore. Earlier in this year it looked like two big receivers would be available, but things have changed ever so much. Marshall will probably stay in Denver now and Edwards is now with the Jets and may want to stay there. Vincent Jackson will most likely be resigned by the Chargers. As for the draft, Bryant is an option if we choose that route, which I doubt we will, so we have to look later. A couple big guys, Danario Alexander, Eric Decker, and Dezmon Briscoe, could all be good gets. I also like Bryan Anderson from Central Michigan in the later rounds, maybe to go with Lefevour?? 6-5 4.6 40 could go 6th round or later, maybe even undrafted.
For DT/DE, I think this is where we most likely go early in the draft if not for QB. Suh or Dunlap. Either one of these guys should still be on the board at number 1 overall. Both guys are beasts and would greatly improve our line. I'm leaning towards Suh. As for the FAs, not much there. Dumervil won't be a FA I'd think. Peppers is the most likely FA. But he'll be 30. Vance Wilfork at DT, likely to be resigned, so really not much there at all.
For OLB, don't see us drafting anyone, probably someone we already have or a FA. Lots of talent there FA-wise, but most of it will be resigned (Ware, Merriman, etc.) Perhaps the Chiefs, Derrick Johnson since the talks about him recently.
For HB, I think if we're going to get a real good backup/change of pace for SJax it will have to be a steal late in the draft, because first of all, I don't see us spending a high draft pick on a HB, and second of all, what good HB would want to sign with us? Jackson believes in and is capable of playing 90+% of the time. And who would want to be in that situation. But if I had to pick a FA for us, it would be Jerius Norwood.
For O-line, there are too many possible scenarios to even go into, with the possible release or free agency of Bell, Barron, and Incognito.
For CB, theres some talent to be had, if it goes unsigned. Dunta Robinson got the franchise tag from the Texans this year, and I don't think he was too happy about it, maybe he'll be a FA. The loud mouth Carlos Rodgers is a FA too. Other names are Ellis Hobbs, Marlin Jackson, Leigh Bodden, Roderick Hood, Richard Marshall, Karl Paymah, Fabian Washington and Terrence McGee. Joe Haden could go second round. He is projected to be the best CB and a first rounder in the 2011 draft, but this year he is projected as a second rounder. If he falls, I wouldn't mind taking him.
And last but definitely not least, QB. We are likely going to replace Bulger next year, whether it be with Null, or someone that is not yet a Ram (most likely). Potential FA's- Campbell, Orton, Pennington and Tavaris Jackson. Out of those guys I'd take any of the three not named Pennington. But that is most likely a moot point because the Rams will not go after a FA QB unless necessary. If we go first round, Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford, Jake Locker, and Jimmy Clausen are the most likely options. I'd prefer one of the last two. But if we don't go first round, which is about a 50-50 shot we don't, I say we go for Dan Lefevour, in the 2nd or 3rd round. My hopes would be to get him in the third if we could, but we can't miss on him if we pass on the FA's and the first rounder. I would love to have him, maybe, MAYBE, he could even develop a season under Bulger, since he wouldn't be making big first round QB money.
So with all that said, here are the players I'd like to get out of the draft:
Rd. 1- DT Suh
Rd. 2- CB Haden
Rd. 3- QB Lefevour
Other players I'd like to get:
WRs Bryan Anderson and/or Danario Alexander
It's hard to predict late rounds and it is getting pretty late, but those are 4 or 5 players I would love to get out of the 2010 draft.
I think we need to get at least 4 starters out of this draft. 9 draft picks, the first 3 rounds should all be good enough to be starters, and hopefully we could hit with a 4th or one of our two 5th rounders.
I <3 LeFevour

You know how every non-fiction book in the last three years has been about the author doing one odd, life-disrupting thing for one full year and then writing a book about it? I'm reading one of those books a week for one full year and then writing a book about it. It's My Year Of Everything, and you're soaking in it. CONTACT: Dave firstname.lastname@example.com
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Jasper Rees is a joy to read, not least due to his almost cartoony Britishness. Living in the UK is one of those things- like business school or mushrooms- that I've always wanted to try but am probably too old for now. You never know.
During My Year Of Everything, I've found myself drawn to books in which the author spends a year trying to do something (travel, be biblically correct), more than books in which the author spends a year trying to avoid something (shopping, everything). Positive choices are just more interesting. Case in point, my current book "A Devil To Play," in which Jasper Rees tries to master the French Horn in a year. It's made me pick up my guitar, and it's made me wish I knew how to tune it.
And overall, this experience has made me say YES a lot more, if only to have something to write about. I'm 39 now, and NO is one of my favorite words; you have to work pretty hard to make me want to stop hanging out with my dog for even an hour. But YES isn't going to get easier to say once I enter my 40s, so I've been practicing.
Which is my long way of telling you I went to a Burning Man party over the weekend.
I've been on the fence about Burning Man for years. Ben and I even bought tickets three years ago, as we were going to a wedding in Lake Tahoe around the same time, and we figured we'd swing through on our way home. We packed the car with our REI tents and a few jugs of water, and we got silent as we approached the fork in the road: to the left was the way to the Playa, to the right the road home.
Simultaneously, we blurted: "I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BURNING MAN OH THANK GOD I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO." Went home, sold the tickets on Craig's List in about 45 seconds, and that was that.
But again, I'm 39, so if I'm ever going to do it, now's the time. Or, you know, now's within the grace period.
A have a couple of friends who've gone for the past few years, and their camp was having a fundraiser in a warehouse in Culver City, because of course they were. They invited me, and I planned to meet them there. The directions were vague; in retrospect, it's amazing I didn't have to go to a grocery and buy an egg like Brandon and Emily Valentine on 90210. I wandered alone through the post-production-house district of The Culv until I heard the telltale techno.
Really, folks, the only thing more embarrassing than walking up to a stranger and asking him if his party is the Mystical Misfits Fundraiser is the look on his face when he says NO.
Back on the streets, I encountered a woman in a top hat and followed her to the right place. Paid $15, whereupon a gentleman embraced me. "I'm here to give hugs, man. And I have something just for you. Reach into my coat pocket." It was, naturally, a poem by Rumi. It said "Please don't tell my parents." Just kidding. Something about love or whatever. "Well, thank you for this, sir. Can you point me toward the bar?"
Met up with my friends, one of whom (also Dave) is also a Burning Man novice. Here are some of our observations:
So I'm still undecided. I'm leaning toward following the advice of 13th-century Persian poet and philosopher Rumi, who said: "Just have a party in your backyard, you dumb old homo."
UPDATE: I use the terms "Burning Man fundraiser" and "rave" interchangeably here, and I suppose they may not technically be the same thing. But here's the deal: if you're surrounded by people in long muppet-fur coats, if you see more than one person giving a backrub, if someone is fire-dancing to music that was made on a laptop, you are at a rave. That's my policy and I made it up ten minutes ago and I'm standing by it.
"A Devil To Play" chronicles author Jasper Rees' year trying to learn the French Horn well enough to play a solo before the British Horn Society. Good stuff.
Ben and his band The Mighty Regis are about to embark on the Warped Tour, and he just found out he's getting endorsed by Fender Guitars. He's been giddily special-ordering guitars, and I've been jealous. I want a new guitar! You know, to join my other guitar, sitting forlorn and unplayed in the bedroom.
How I've longed to skip over the frustrating learning part and go right to sexily playing!
Learning an instrument is like learning a language, and for me, guitar is Space Japanese. I just can't make my stupid stubby sausage fingers go where they're supposed to. Frustrating to the max. I've stopped and started a half-dozen times in the last decade.
But you know what? I'm going to take some time out of my busy waiting-for-NBC-to-make-a-decision schedule and learn me some guitar. Enough excuses.
All you need is three chords and the truth, right? How's about one chord and Wikipedia?
There's just no real structure to "Sundays In America." Just as Shea's itinerary takes her around the country in a scattershot manner (Northampton to Fort Lauderdale to Vegas, for example), the narrative doesn't move forward. There's no geographical context to her religious experiences- we never really learn how these churches reflect or contrast to their regions.
The story ends when she leaves each church and doesn't pick up again until she enters the next, so we don't get to see how these various experiences are enriching her own spiritual life.
Worst of all, she doesn't engage with the churchgoers or staff outside of the church service itself, so it's a little like reviewing movies by watching their trailers.
Because I feel like a terrible, miserable crank panning this book, I will say this: there are a few churches Shea makes me want to visit (there's a John Coltrane church in San Francisco!), but overall it was like one long Mass without even the possibility of church giggles.
I know I said I was going to share some of the more thought-provoking elements of "Sundays In America," but I'm not sure there are any.
That sounds harsh, and I feel bad pooh-poohing a book about religion. But she raises a lot of the same points I've already gone into here (exclusion in the name of religion, churchgoing out of obligation, etc) and then doesn't do anything with them. Like: "Oh, it's a shame that some people just pray by reciting words when they could be deepening their experience by meditating more freely. Anyway, goodbye!" Delve, Suzanne Strempek Shea!
This book is what Christian reformer Martin Luther would call "kind of a snoozeburger." I cast it from my sight!

The daughter of George and Anna Gmuca Tobias, Marion was born Dec. 4, 1928, in Farrell.
She moved to the area as a child and attended Grove City schools, graduating in 1947.
Following high school, she worked for Bell Telephone Company as an operator. She married Donald Decker on June 27, 1953, when he returned from military service during the Korean War.
Ever a devoted and loving wife, Mrs. Decker helped her husband in his appliance store in Stoneboro, and later managed the appointment book and accounting for Decker Appliance Service for many years.
She was a member of Center Presbyterian Church, Pine Township, for 57 years; and her service at the Volant Lion's Club events was always performed with a smile.

Three dogs who were alleged to have been neglected in rural Fredericksburg and were later stolen after KWWL reported on the alleged neglect have been recovered, officials said Wednesday.
The two coon hound-type dogs and the terrier-type mix were reported stolen last week.
The Chickasaw County Sheriff's Office and SNAP of Chickasaw County teamed up to help recover the dogs, the Sheriff's Office said.
The Sheriff's Office also noted that they will follow up with the dogs' owner and continue to monitor the animals.
The Chickasaw County Sheriff's Office reports three dogs have allegedly been stolen from a residence located on 280th Street in Fredericksburg.
The Sheriff's Office stated the following:
"Two younger "Coon Hounds" and the terrier type mix (as seen on local news media feeds) are now missing. Unfortunately, we are now unable to monitor the welfare of the animals that were allegedly stolen. "
In a press release on Saturday, Chickasaw County Sheriff Todd Miller stated a deputy evaluated dogs in rural Fredericksburg Friday morning after receiving a complaint that the animals had been neglected.
According to Miller, eight dogs were found on the property, including seven "Coon Hounds" and one terrier-type mix.
Miller stated adequate shelter, sustenance and water were available for the dogs, and it was not deemed to be an emergent situation.
The Sheriff's Office planned to follow up with the owner in a week.
Neighbors disagreed on Friday.
They said animal neglect cases have been swept under the rug by authorities in Chickasaw County for years.
No one from the Sheriff's Office would talk on camera with KWWL Friday, but in a press release Saturday, Miller said he takes animal welfare seriously and that an employee of the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Office has taken educational courses to evaluate the health of animals.
"We will continue, as aforementioned, to monitor the health and welfare of the remaining animals," he stated in the release.

AB Svensk Exportkredit`s (SEK) earnings for the first nine months of the year were strong. We have significant capacity to provide the Swedish export industry with large volumes of long-term financing if the economic situation in the financial markets deteriorates.
"The Swedish export industry has high competitiveness. We now see a significantly higher risk of the economic situation in many of the world`s leading economies making it harder for Swedish exporters to access to finance. To support the export industry`s competitiveness SEK is continued ready to meet the significant increase in demand for long-term financing from Swedish exporters that could be the result if the situation deteriorates," said SEK President Peter Yngwe.
Operating profit was strong, amounting to Skr 1,210.2 million for the period, compared with Skr 971.7 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in earnings is mainly due to unrealized changes in fair value and a realized profit from the sale of SEK`s former office building. The result for the third quarter amounted to Skr 253.3 million, a decrease compared to the same period the previous year which is mainly due to unrealized changes in fair value.

Reiki Can Relieve Teen Angst
By Hope Bentley
Acne, mood swings, growth spurts—we don't mean to imply that adolescence is a disease, but sometimes it can feel that way. The flux and change that characterize the teen years can leave adolescents (and those around them) feeling out of balance. In times of stress, confusion, or illness, a little Reiki may go a long way toward smoothing out the rough spots.
Reiki, a Japanese rethinking of the "laying on of hands" school of healing, can reduce stress and gently enhance well-being. Reiki defines itself as a primordial life force, similar in spirit to prana and qi. Most Reiki practitioners work with the chakra system, the seven centers of energy in the human body that originated in yoga philosophy. Practitioners say they can make subtle shifts in their patient's energy by gently touching the patient and sometimes by moving their hands over (but not on) the patient's body. This noninvasive technique allows the patient to remain fully clothed.
"Reiki is great for teens because they don't have to talk. It is rare for teens to want to tell their problems to anyone who is not their age," says Pamela Miles, author of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide (Penguin Group, 2006).
Miles says that Reiki works particularly well with ADD and ADHD because Reiki helps calm and balance. "Teens with ADD and ADHD respond very quickly," says Miles. She has also seen great results for young people who have diabetes. "Reiki can help the kids release some of the negative emotions that surface in connection to treatment, and help alleviate some of the helplessness."
Other studies show that Reiki helps reduce depression. A high school in Camden, Maine, provided Reiki treatments to its students after the school lost eight students to drowning, car accidents, and suicide in six months. The school reported that the Reiki helped students cope with their grief and distress.
One of the great things about Reiki is how easy it is to learn. Teens can learn to practice it on themselves or others—some practitioners also offer classes tailored to suit parents and teens together, in which parents and teens treat each other.
Hannah Grace Miles, Pamela Miles' teenage daughter, has even become an advocate: "I would absolutely recommend Reiki to my friends, and I have in the past. A lot of [my friends] have expressed interest, especially at times of stress in school, like final exams or important sporting events, or at times of emotional stress."
Go to www.reiki.nu/treatment/treatment.html for more info on how to treat yourself and to reikiinmedicine.org or www.reiki
colorado.org to learn how Reiki works.

Ajahn Suchart Seminar at Tampa Muay Thai
On March 29th a group of us headed across to our sister school, Tampa Muay Thai, for a seminar with Ajahn Suchart from Siam #1 Gym in Toronto. For those of you not familiar with Ajahn he was a champion with over 200 fights in Thailand and has been producing champions in Canada for the last 20 years. His current World Champions include the unbeaten Simon Marcus and Matt Embree.
The seminar focused on Muay Thai fundamentals and the importance of having a strong foundation before you can build your Muay Thai. It was also very interesting listening to Ajahn talk about the history of Muay Boran and Thai Boxing, and the importance of keeping Muay Thai authentic and pure so as to not dilute it or disrespect it!
With that being said we will implement some changes at Jacksonville Muay Thai – everyone must please wear Thai Shorts by next month – this is our uniform and part of our heritage (plus they show off your legs and make your kicks more powerful). Please speak to me or one of the other instructors if you need help.
We will also get back to the martial root of Muay Thai and include a few minutes of Self-Defense applications of Muay Thai techniques in most classes.
Further, I will expand the History and Culture aspect of the website and include more Thai terminology in class.

Walker 'The Kid' Vivian at Jacksonville Muay Thai
We're really happy to announce that Waker 'The Kid' Vivian is now part of the Jacksonville Muay Thai team and family.
Walker started Muay Thai 6 years ago under former World Champion Kru Maurice Travis and has over 10 Muay Thai fights including 2 in Thailand (plus 15 MMA fights).
Walker is training hard for an upcoming trip to Thailand and his pro-debut in Muay Thai this Spring.
He is available for Private Sessions and is a great pad-holder, plus you'll see him helping out with classes.
Contact Kru Giles (904 864-7343) for more information and to book your session with 'The Kid'.
Kru's Corner – EXPECT SOME PAIN IN MUAY THAI
It's January and we have many new people starting Muay Thai and we have some old members returning after a few months off.
When you train in Muay Thai you have to expect some pain, but it's important to distinguish between normal muscle soreness or bruises, and pain that is a warning sign that something more serious may be amiss.
But, before we get started let me remind you that if you're serious about your Muay Thai training you can work around most painful issues and it doesn't need to stop your training. In the past; if my foot was broken I worked hands and elbows, if my right thumb was broken I worked my left hand, knees and kicks. Remember Muay Thai is the Art of Eight Limbs – that means if one limb in injured you have 7 others!
If you love Muay Thai and it's part of your life you very rarely have to totally stop training for any length of time.
Muscle Soreness:When you're training hard or starting something new exercise routine you can guarantee some muscle soreness. Muscle soreness or DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) will normally present the day after your training session and be at it's worst at about 48 hours post workout. Note, the key phrase is 'muscle soreness' not joint soreness!
You can minimize DOMS by warming up well at the beginning of your training session, then cooling down and stretching at the end of your session.
After your workout make sure you,drink lots of water and I'd recommend either an Epsom Salts Bath (fill the tub with very hot water and pour in some Epsom Salts and soak), or a contrast shower (direct very hot water over your muscles for a period then switch to ice cold water – continue to alternate).
Before you go to sleep that night use a Magnesium supplement as this can help relax sore and tight muscles – my favorite is CALM by Peter Radner – it's a powder that you mix in some boiling water and drink.
The next day use Thai Liniment to rub sore and tight muscles, and rather than sitting on your couch feeling sorry for yourself make sure you exercise and stretch.
I also highly recommend becoming very proficient at self-massage and trigger point therapy with Lacrosse Balls, a Foam Roller, and a Rolling Stick (refer to 5-Minute Flexibility by Giles Wiley :) for more information on how to use these tools to release muscle soreness).
Bruises and Contusions: Bruises and contusions – you can definitely expect shin bruises when you start training Muay Thai and thigh bruises once you start sparring.
If you've had a heavy training session where you know you've bruised yourself apply an ice-pack on the area and elevate it.
When it's been a particularly heavy sparring session I'll even do an ice-bath (as unpleasant as it is). There's also a great company here in Jax that sells a product that combines icing and compression – check out (http://110playharder.com).
Even though you may use ice directly after the training session the following day you'll want to start using heat-treatment.
Heat treatment is a favorite in Thailand for bumps and bruises on the shins and thigh. The technique they use is: fill a bowl with almost boiling water – soak a towel in it and rub downwards over the bruise – repeat until the water cools down, remember to push downwards away from the heart.
There's also a few products that help with bruising and swelling:
1) Arnica is the classic – I use the gel and the tablets (get the strongest dose you can).
2) Tufbruise from our friend Dan at Tufmed in Tampa (www.tufmed.com).
3) White Cider Vinegar – apply to the sore area as often as possible.
4) Traumeel – I've heard great things about this product but have yet to try it
5) Physio-tape – you'll need to see a good sports physical therapist to get taped but I've had this done before to help with swollen thighs and deep bruising from heavy sparring and it gets amazing results (try Chris Kopp at Premier Physical Therapy on Beach Blvd – he's great).
Joint pain: Joint pain is a different animal but again it's important to distinguish between a structural issue such as a torn ligament etc or just some swelling and inflammation in the joint, or a bruise on the surface of the joint such as bruised kneecap or elbow from sparring.
Start by icing, elevating, and resting any sore joint and taking a NSAID such as Ibuprofen.
If you feel unsure of diagnosing any joint pain yourself I'd suggest you see a good sports physical therapist (see Chris at Premier Physical Therapy) before your regular doctor.
Also, if you continually have joint pain such as a sore shoulder or knee it generally means you have a structural misalignment that can often be corrected with prescribed exercises and stretching. I always use the analogy of the tires on your car wearing out quickly if your steering is misaligned or out of balance. Learn how to use the Lacrosse Balls and Foam Roller and focus on balance in your supplemental exercise routine – if you perform a pushing exercise you'd better perform a pulling exercise, if you perform an exercise where you band forwards then please perform an exercise where you bend backwards.
Often joint pain is a warning sign that your technique is incorrect. If you perform martial arts with correct body mechanics there should be very little stress on the body, the same applies to conditioning exercises. Speak to your instructor if you suffer from persistent joint pain.
In conclusion, if you want to get good at Muay Thai consistency in training is much more important than natural talent or any 'top secret' training technique. I've never been athletically gifted, I've never found anything in Muay Thai comes easily to me, but I've stuck at it for so much longer than the guys who were naturally talented that I've got better and better. In fact, over the last 25 years I can hardly remember a day that I woke up and wasn't sore in some way but I still found a way to train. And, frankly that's the key – train every day in some way, even if you're sore! As time goes by you'll find ways to control the pain and discomfort but never wish for no discomfort BECAUSE DISCOMFORT MEANS GROWTH, DISCOMFORT MEANS YOUR PUSHING FORWARDS AND PROGRESSING!

New Fall Schedule is Up + Fight Team Results!
The new schedule is up with more kids classes and more fun.
We had a great trip to Tampa for the Bangkok Bash and Trae and Brandon did great.
Although they both lost on points we had numerous people come up to us afterwards saying they were some of the best performances they'd ever seen for a first fight.
The good news for me was that they both enjoyed it and learned a lot and so we have 2 more fights scheduled in October and November.
If you're interested in joining the Fight-Team come and talk to me this week because serious Fight Camp is about to start!

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Bruce Springsteen will be honored tonight for his music and philanthropy as the 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year.
The boss is expected to perform at the Los Angeles Convention Center event, which will be hosted by Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's "The Daily show."
Also scheduled to perform are Alabama Shakes, Jackson Browne, Kenny Chesney, Ben Harper, Emmylou Harris, Faith Hill, Jim James, Elton John, Juanes, John Legend, Natalie Maines, Tim McGraw, Tom Morello, Mumford and Sons, Patti Smith, Mavis Staples, Sting, Eddie Vedder and Neil Young.
The event will also include a gala dinner and a live auction of an Acura RLX and other items, with the proceeds going to MusiCares, which provides people in the music industry with support in times of financial, medical and personal need.
Neil Portnow, the head of the Recording Academy, has been planning for years to have Springsteen honored by MusiCares.
He told Daily Variety that he "seeded the conversation" for years with Springsteen's representatives and confirmed Springsteen's participation nearly a year ago. Springsteen has been involved in planning the event, including having a hand in the selection of the artists on the bill, Variety reported.

The help system for Xcode is called a 'documentation set' (or docset for short). Constructing a docset manually is a hell of a job. Nobody wants to construct XML files and references by hand. Fortunately there are quite a few (free!) tools that can extract comments from your code and translate them into neat docsets. There's appledoc, doxygen and headerdoc just to name a few. I decided to go for appledoc for its simplicity.
In this tutorial i will explain the steps necessary to get your code documentation up and running. This is part 1 about installing appledoc and configuration a build target. In part 2 i will explain more about the options and documentation syntax.
Installing AppleDoc
Integrating AppleDoc in your build
What we are doing in the next steps is:
- Add a build target
- Customize the build phase to call appledoc
- Add a readme file that is used as an introduction page
- Test the build and see if the documentation is generated correctly.
First, we need a new build target name Documentation. After firing up Xcode and loading your project to be documented, add a new build target. To do this, select your root project so that the project summary tab appears. On the bottom of the screen you will see an Add Target button. Click that.
On the build phases tab, click Add Build Phase.
The second red line is a folder structure that gets included in the final documentation. For my project, I used some images. Refer to the Syntax section later on how to include images in your docset.
And there you have it!! Your own integrated help. But don't think you are done, you have got a lot of typing to do. This is covered in the next part where I'll discuss the syntax to document your code.
Meanwhile, to get you started, you should decorate all your interfaces with at least a small description like so:

rumor has it that cotto will be training with freddie roach. he's asking for 10 mil to face canelo. he deserves it....but neither guy is with al haymon so i doubt they get any where near that. oscar/gbp runs things like arum. all of his money comes from boxing...so he's going to tax his fighters the same way the bob father does....heavily. i've already read articles from the shills shooting cotto's request down.

I for one do not believe that MC needs a new Trainer, the one he has now is just fine, hopefully of all the Trainers he can go out and get that he will not take on FR (Personally I don't believe he's a great as they make believe he is).
I thought cottos trainer was very good, he gave him really good game plans and I saw him give cotto his confidence back.
Freddie was good but he is sick and getting worse. Miguel doesn't need a new trainer. His current one was pretty damn good. A Canelo-Cotto fight is VERY interesting. It will be entertaining and important at the same time. I would love to see this fight in the fall and I would pay top PPV dollar to watch it. I think Cotto could win. Canelo is a better matchup for Cotto than Trout was. I ultimately see Canelo chopping Cotto down between rounds 8-11 for a TKO.
I agree with you about the trainer and the ppv part. I would pay for it, the only thing I don't agree with is the part about cotto being a good match up for canelo. I think the opposite, canelo is a way better match up for cotto than trout. This could be a very good fight if Cottos face and stamina holds up.

Abstinence Computer Program
Motion-Controlled Abstinence Simulator: Real or Fake?
This isn't your regular run-of-the-mill computer game. It's a motion-controlled program that teaches preteen girls how to resist peer pressure when it comes to sex. Subjects wear a motion capture-enabled hat and jacket in order to "jump into the character's skin" and learn how to react when found in sexual situations. Interesting idea, but is it real or fake?

"Junior" tries to unplug "The Machine" at UFC 129: "St. Pierre vs. Shields" on April 30 in Toronto.
"Today, I woke up at 8:00 a.m. Not only today; rather, like I do everyday. We are on the last lap of the training, so ... So, that is how it is. I have a lot of motivation. I've been through worse things in the past. So to wake up early for three months, and to have two or three months of daily training, I have no problem doing that. That is my job and I get paid for it. I enjoy being here, of course. It's a great joy, even to feel your body getting tired. To be here, training with my friends. To stay after hours, exchanging ideas with my teammates. All this is priceless to me.
"I love soccer. If I'm not training, I'm playing either soccer or video games and soccer video games. I'm always watching; I use Internet to read about soccer. It's a childhood passion. My dream was to be a soccer player. Since I was a child, I've cheered for Flamengo. It's a really strong fan movement in Norther Brazil. Flamengo, Botafogo, Vasco, the teams from Rio. So, I've followed soccer since I was a little boy. I would cry as a boy, when Flamengo would lose a game. It was a deep and emotional passion. Full hearted, there, cheering. Oh man.
"I think, I could have been a soccer player. But I think everything is an opportunity. I didn't find as many opportunities in soccer. And I got to a point of disbelief when I found so many barriers in the way. I saw the opportunity in fighting and doors were opened for me. Since I found that space, I will believe in it and go after it. I will give my best and one day I will go far.
"The reason why I searched for MMA was because I needed money. I was competing in all the jiu-jitsu tournaments and there were no cash prizes. We were living in the gym and it was hard; me and Loro. Then Dede Perdeneiras started a MMA team and from there I started training MMA with the guys. Had one, two fights. Dede, since the beginning would say: 'You are going to be rich, one day. You will be rich.' He told me and Loror, 'MMA is getting big. You guys will be rich.' I would play around: 'Imagine, my brother. You are crazy, bro.' And thank god, today, that idea Dede had back in the day is now becoming reality."

Real wedding: Audrey + Jesse
Audrey and Jesse's wedding just looks like fun, doesn't it? I could tell just by those bridesmaids dresses….
Green apples, birds, and twigs all in a chocolate brown/green apple/white color scheme. We had apples everywhere, from the apple colored invitations, apples in each centerpiece, and apple flavored candy. The birds were featured on the cake topper, the stamps on each program, and the candle holder near the guest book. My Mom constructed the tree that held our seating cards, and both my Mom and Dad worked hard punching out hundreds of dots on each individual card.
We got married at The Common Man Inn in Plymouth, NH. I'm from northern NH and Jesse's parents have a vacation home up there, although we both live in the Boston area now. All of our guests gave this place rave reviews! The Common Man is a chain of restaurants in NH, this inn/spa being their first. It had such a comfortable, rustic feel to it – everyone was so relaxed, it really felt like being at a luxury camp! We stayed in their signature suite called "Camp" complete with an antique canoe above the bed.
Jesse's lovely cousin and my co-worker Gienna Shaw did all the photography. A photographist by hobby, I couldn't have been more pleased with the results! We asked for a photo-journalism non-formal feel, and she definitely achieved that. I highly recommend getting to know your photographer beforehand, or better yet find a talented family member. I didn't even realize she was there. Also, we have free reign to all 1,300+ photos!
I bought my wedding dress online from David's Bridal about a month before the wedding. It was only $99! I didn't really want something super traditional and definitely didn't want to spend too much. Luckily Jesse's mom is an excellent sewer/designer/seamstress and did all the alterations for me. The bolero is made of a nubby silk and made completely by her. I got my silver Rampage shoes from DSW for $11, and the jewelry was a gift from my mother. The girls wore fun green mod-inspired dresses from Nordstrom with brown shawls from Walmart (shh!) All the guys wore brown corderoy blazers from Old Navy, khakis, and white shirts from various places, and green ties from Etsy seller rabbitstop. My hair and makeup by me!
Two of Jesse's good friends from high school just happen to be dj's. We went through the generations, starting with classical for the ceremony, 40′s and big band for the cocktail hour/dinner, 60′s and 70′s for dancing, and all our current music for later in the evening.
I couldn't resist the candy buffet trend for the favors. My mom and I bought various glass jars from a variety of stores – Michael's, Walmart, Christmas Tree Shops, etc. The candy also came from lots of different places, and was quite the labor of love! I picked through many many bags of M&Ms and Skittles to get just the right colors. We bought little plastic bags and had my Dad write our names on every tiny piece of paper that was attached to a silver twist tie. It was a big hit.
I was so happy with all the flowers. We used huge spider mums for all the centerpieces as well as the bouquets. Scattered here and there were button mums, orchids, curly willow, and little green berries. The colors were so vibrant and the mums are just starting to wilt now. Flowers were done by Linda Hutchins, a family friend that owns Riff Flower Shop in Lancaster, NH.
The cake was done by Lori Shearer out of Lancaster, NH. It was beautiful, and boy did it taste good! All three layers were a spiced carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, with buttercream and fondant on the outside. Our cake topper is a handmade nest from Etsy seller Mosey. It really kicked off the whole theme of the wedding.

Real wedding: Laura-Lee + Erik
I'm loving all the details from Laura-Lee and Erik's wedding out in California. [especially those green BCBG shoes that I can't find anywhere! if you find them, please let me know!!] The polka dots make everything just a little more fun and modern!

Legal bid to overturn Kidderminster gallery plans
7:40am Thursday 27th December 2012 in News By William Tomaney, Reporter
A DISABLED user of Kidderminster Library gallery will take legal action against Worcestershire County Council after plans to replace the facility with offices were approved by planning chiefs.
Louise Ryan, 40, of Sculthorpe Road, Blakedown, said she will launch an application for a judicial review against the council, saying the quality of her life will be "considerably diminished" when the top floor gallery is moved.
The decision, approved by the council's cabinet and planning committees, will see offices for social services staff replace the purpose-built topfloor arts area.The gallery will be moved and, according to the friends, significantly downgraded, to the building's first floor, and the Steinway grand piano will be moved to Kidderminster Town Hall.
Kidderminster Gallery Friends have set up a fund to help Mrs Ryan raise money towards some of her legal costs.
The case is also being funded by the Legal Services Commission.
Mrs Ryan said: "I have enjoyed visiting the gallery, which is a unique facility in Kidderminster and Wyre Forest, to listen to recitals and look at the art exhibitions there. It is a very disabledfriendly venue, so access is easy and because I am on a limited income it has been wonderful to enjoy the music at a very reasonable price.
"If the gallery is closed, the quality of my life and probably that of many other people in the district is going to be considerably diminished. I'm determined to keep it open."
The council argues the gallery will be re-provided under the plans and not closed.
The proposals are part of the council's libraries and learning service's plans to slash £1.8 million from its budget over three years through its Better Outcomes Lean Delivery (BOLD) programme.
Conservative councillor John Campion, cabinet member responsible for the libraries and learning service, said: "The council is mindful of all communities when making any decisions and we will take appro priate steps to mitigate any concerns."
Gallery friends secretary Stephen Brown said the group wanted to help raise £5,000 to help Mrs Ryan's case.
"It is a brave decision she has made and we wish her well," he added. "We think she has an excellent case."

For the connected it is a community asset for community building and engagement.
For the engaged it is a place of use for entertainment.
For the entertained it is a space to plan and play in
For the planner it is a space to exploit.
For the dis-engaged it is a space of no use, a waste of money, or an asset to be exploited as in a lottery of community assets

Jainism, is an Indian religion that prescribes a path of non-violence towards all living beings. Its philosophy and practice emphasize the necessity of self-effort to move the soul towards divine consciousness and liberation. Any soul that has conquered its own inner enemies and achieved the state of supreme being is called a jina ("conqueror" or "victor"). The ultimate status of these perfect souls is called siddha. Ancient texts also refer to Jainism as shramana dharma (self-reliant) or the "path of the nirganthas" (those without attachments or aversions).

Boy Scouts of America Official Pinewood Derby Site: http://pinewoodderby.org/
Pinewood Derby Videos: on YouTube: http://is.gd/fenZf
Website with tips and resources for Pinewood Derby Car building: http://www.maximumvelocity.com/
Pack 26 Pinewood Derby Rules
Car Dimensions:
Width: The maximum width of the car shall be 2 3/4 inches.
Length: The maximum length of the car shall be 7 inches.
Distance Between Axle Grooves: The distance between the axle grooves or the wheelbase shall not be altered.
Width of Nose: The nose of the car shall have a flat area of 1/4 inch minimum. The flat area can be sanded to form a radius.
Width Between Wheels: The minimum distance between the base of the wheels and the base of the car shall be 3/8 inch.
Weight: The maximum weight of the car shall be 5 ounces. The reading of the official scale shall determine the official weight.
Additional Materials:
Additional Materials including (but not limited to) weights, steering wheels, figurines, decorations, spoilers, fenders, kits, etc. (some of which are available at Loews) are allowed as long as the dimensional and weight requirements are met. All additional materials shall be permanently fastened to the car in a way that does not interfere with normal operation of the car, track, gates, or timing device. Moving parts attached to the car body (other than the wheels) are prohibited.
Weights must be solid and permanently fixed to the car. The must be flush with the bottom of the car or recessed if attached to the underneath of the car. Liquid weights and/or moveable weights shall not be allowed.
Dry Lubricants may be applied to the axle of the car. No other types of lubricants are allowed. Lubricants may be applied before registration or before racing begins in the staging area only. No lubricants should be brought into the building except to be given to the race officials. Once racing has begun for the racer's category, lubrication shall not be allowed except as judged necessary by the race officials in the event of car damage.
Wheels and axles may not be modified in any way. Axles may be deburred and mold lines may be removed from the wheel surface. However, additional materials such as bearings, bushings, sleeves or hubcaps are strictly prohibited. Only the wheels and axles supplied in the Official Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kits shall be allowed. Note: It may be prudent to glue the axles in place once the construction of the car is complete to prevent the wheel from falling off during the course of a race.
Conduct of the Races:
Inspection Gages: All inspection will be conducted by one team at a special inspection area using scales and gages approved by the Chairman. Note: Please be prepared to make adjustments to the car if necessary.
Impounding: Once the car has passed inspection and received its number sticker, the SCOUT will place his car on the table provided, and may not lubricate or otherwise improve that car until his racing is complete.
Car Handling Responsibility: Scouts shall be responsible to stage their own cars at the starting line, to retrieve their cars at the finish line (after the race has been called) and return their cars to the pit after their heat is finished. If, in the opinion of the track chairman, a scout's physical limitations prevent him from fully complying with this requirement, the scout may nominate an assistant of approximately the same age who serves subject to approval of the track chairman. In any case, the scout shall participate up to his limitations.
Lane Assignment: Lane assignment for each heat shall be determined by lot.
Car Repair: If, during the race, a wheel falls off or the car becomes otherwise damaged, then the SCOUT may to the best of his ability perform repairs. The SCOUT may seek advice for repairing the car, but may receive no other assistance. If a car is damaged due to track fault or due to fault of another car or SCOUT, then the track chairman, at his sole discretion, may allow additional repair assistance.
Car Interference: If, during a race heat, a car leaves its lane and, in so doing, interferes with another racer, then the car at fault shall be declared to have lost the race heat.
Car Leaves Lane: If, during a race heat, a car leaves its lane but proceeds down the track in a manner that does not interfere with its opponent, then the race will be called normally.
Car Leaves Track: If, during a race heat, a car leaves the track without interfering with its opponent, it shall be considered to have ended its heat at that point.
Track Fault: If a car leaves its lane, at his sole discretion, the track chairman may inspect the track and, if a track fault is found which probably caused the initial violation, the track chairman may order the race heat to be rerun after the track is repaired.
No Finishers: If, during a race heat, no car reaches the finish line on the track, the car which went the farthest in its lane shall be declared as the heat winner.
Call to Race: Competitors will be called to race "by group", i.e. racers who have comparable records. If a racer leaves the area and rejoins the group after it has started its heats, placement in line is at the track chairman's discretion. Any scout missing a heat will have that heat scored as a loss.
Appeals: The Cub Scout must make all questions of rules interpretations, procedure and fact to the track officials promptly.
Track Champion: The top three finishers from each race category shall be accompanied, with their cars, from the track to the registration. The cars will be impounded until the start of the Pack Championship Race. Inspection, repair, and additional lubrication will be permitted just prior to the start of the Pack Championship Race.
Opponent Assignment: Until the finals, Scouts will be grouped with others of similar record. When the group races, Scouts will be lined up and mixed as well as possible. The line will be raced in approximately that order with some minor rearrangement possibly resulting from the lane drawing procedure. (see "Example")
No Call: If the winner of a heat cannot be declared by a majority of the judges (2 judges or 1 Judge and an automated finish line device), the track chairperson may order the heat to be re-run.
Cars that have been raced in previous years will not be accepted. Also, starting Devices and motorized cars shall not be allowed.

The Mekong River is one of the world's great rivers, but very little is known about its prehistoric human settlement. The Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP), conceived in 2001, seeks to investigate human settlement of the Mekong Valley with a research program beginning in Luang Prabang in northern Laos. Since 2005, MMAP has conducted a groundbreaking collaborative research program of international researchers in this area, including surveys that have identified 69 archaeological sites and excavations at three cave sites. This archaeological fieldwork has yielded thousands of stone and ceramic artifacts, human skeletal remains, and other evidence from over 11,000 years of human habitation in the area. MMAP seeks to resolve long standing archaeological debates on when and how metallurgy and agriculture came to Southeast Asia. This joint project of The Penn Museum and the Department of Heritage, Laos is also helping budding Lao archaeologists and museologists to build capabilities for Lao cultural heritage preservation, by offering training in archaeological disciplines concurrent with research activities.

Book recaps 'soul' of a generation
- Written by Kimberly C. Roberts
- Published in Lifestyles
Are you a proud product of the Baby Boom (approximately 1946 to 1965)? Do you fancy yourself an R&B expert? Do you know how to do the "Funky Chicken" and "The Penguin?" If so, you are qualified to take "The Baby Boomer's Soul Aptitude Tests," also known at "The BBSATs."
This challenging collection of quirky quizzes on R&B music and pop culture was conceived and compiled by Anthony C. Davis, a former lifestyles editor and television writer for the Philadelphia Tribune who recently retired from the Philadelphia School District after more than 30 years as an English teacher.
"The BBSATs" is the fourth book by Davis, whose most recent project was "I Ain't Lying — Short Stories from West Philly to West Africa." He is also co-author (along with Jeffrey W. Jackson) of "Yo Little Brother — Basic Rules of Survival for Young African Males," Parts I and II.
With a foreword written by yours truly, "The BBSATs" has a main test of 250 questions that actually read like the history of soul and R&B. There are also over 20 smaller quizzes that are broken into categories like "male/female duets," "songs about destinations," "songs about dances," "songs about mothers," "songs about fathers" and more. This is a quite a reversal from Davis' intense, yet inspiring releases of the past.
"A couple of people have said that to me," Davis observed. "They said, 'You've pretty much flipped the script on this one. Your first books are out there trying to save young Black men.' I said, 'I'm still trying to save something. I'm trying to save soul music. Our music is sampled so much by young people, but young people don't know where these songs come from. For the past 30 years, ever since hip-hop came out, I've been teaching in the Philadelphia School District, and every year I get at least 10 kids — you know, now they do it with the Ipod, but this is back when the Walkman first came out — they would come and say, 'Hey! Listen to this, Mr. Davis,' and they would put the headphones on my head. I'd say, 'Oh yeah, that's funky, but that's Kool & the Gang from 1971, 'Whose Gonna Take the Weight.'
"Even when Tribe [Called Quest] came out, they were like 'Tribe is the baddest group out!' and I said, 'Yeah, they are pretty bad. Tribe Called Quest, they sound good, I like the music, but that song right there, that's 'Let's Get Funky' by the Chambers Brothers — 1969.'
"For years, they would doubt me, until in the past 10, 15 years, they're able to go on the computer and go right on You Tube and find these songs I'm talking about, and it would just blow their minds. The fact that the music that they're listening to was already made in the past give me a connection to them. I think it was Stetsasonic that said that rap brings back old R&B, and you listen to this music, and it just brings back everything that you lived. It's like the soundtrack to our lives."
Copies of "The BBSATs" will available at a book signing taking place at 2410 Golf Road in Philadelphia on Saturday, February 4, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. There will be food and live music, as well as an opportunity to challenge the author with your own musical knowledge! You can also purchase copies by calling 888-795-4274, ext.7879 or online at www.xlibris.com.

The Salem News
---- — The sun broke out and the weather turned balmy just in time for a moving ceremony Sunday morning in Swampscott, where military, veteran and town leaders unveiled a monument to those who have served in the military since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
In particular, it memorializes the sacrifices of Marine Capt. Jennifer Harris, killed while piloting a helicopter in Iraq in 2007, and Army Spc. Jared Raymond, killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2006. But it also honors the courage and selflessness of all those who serve, putting their lives on the line to keep this country safe.
The new memorial, a tasteful stone structure bearing individual soldiers' names, takes its place along the town's beautiful Monument Avenue, where there are also tributes to the soldiers in other wars.
Veterans were honored this weekend throughout the North Shore, with parades, ceremonies, speeches, commemorative medals and, in Peabody, a thank-you breakfast for some 300 veterans. Sometimes it seems so little that we do. Surely, if the words we speak on Veterans Day are sincere, we must follow that up with better care for wounded soldiers, counseling and preventive mental health services for those suffering from trauma, jobs programs for veterans, and aid to families of deployed soldiers.
In the meantime, though, ceremonies such as the one in Swampscott let everyone know — soldiers, veterans and the families of those who gave their lives — that their sacrifices will not be forgotten.

text: PayPal: Ditch wallets and use faces, phones, wearable tech for payments | Wired Money video Technology 26 July 13 by Katie Collins Tweet Watch now: John Lunn at Wired Money John Lunn, PayPalNate Lanxon Online and offline retail experiences are colliding, and those operating in the offline world need adapt creatively using mobile payment methods, says John Lunn, Global Director for PayPal Developer, speaking at Wired Money.With 40 percent of people walking into a store admitting they have no intention of buying anything in that store, retailers need to find a reason to attract consumers other than by providing customer service or the opportunity to buy something immediately. Even that, Lunn says, is becoming increasingly unnecessary, pointing to Ebay as an example of being able to order an item online and then pick it up in store. "This revolution is starting all over the place," Lunn says. "I've seen some stores recently where they don't even have any stock."PayPal's own Check-In app allows customers to drop a pin at a shop or other retailer using their phone, and sees the transaction take place as they head off with their product. As an example of how this works, Lunn cites PayPal's partnership with Jamba Juice, a US juice bar chain, which allows customers to order and pay from their couches, and then pick up later in store."What we're using there is your face as the payment type," Lunn says. Faces are unique and the easiest way of identifying people, and are therefore the least intrusive way of completing a transaction. "The best type of payment is the payment you don't see. You want it to be invisible," says Lunn. He predicts wearable tech such as Google Glass and smart watches will also be key to simplifying this process by reducing the amount of time you'll need to hold your phone in your hand. "Your mobile phone will turn into a modem and just sit inside your pocket."Identity is also key to online retail, but real and verified identity rather than the kind of perceived identity associated with social networks. "Identity isn't social," says Lunn. "Logging into something is not your identity."So what is? According to Lunn, the most secure, most up-to-date version of your identity is the one held by your bank. This is where identity should reside, and where it should come from, in Lunn's view. He adds that while some will want to opt out and choose more anonymous systems such as Bitcoin, they won't necessarily get the same kind of secure, personalised retail experience as a result."Your identity will become more and more valuable, more and more important," warns Lunn. "Don't give it away for biscuits."
