As for the eldest I have done nothing to steer him either way. i firmly believe to be anywhere near half decent as a "a carer" of any sort you have to be called to it, but I fear that the lure of Zach Braff may already have hooked him as surely as that bugger Alan Alda did me...

mads'-- Welcome, and I can call you mads' yes? Quite right Corfu would seem to be the very epitome of civilization with French architecture, Greek climate, and eleven cricket teams (with but one pitch to play on). It's definitely on our list of top ten places to go back to.

madam chair'-- as you say Venice is a sight to behold, but also quite literally alive with mozzies as we too can attest. Still top of our "places to revisit" list though. Eight hours doesn't even scratch the surface (no pun intended-- for once).

northernmedic-- welcome. Indeed the boy done good, and yes it would appear he is "called" to medicine, and whilst I will support and encourage all I can, I'm happy he's found it for himself without any urging from either parent. As I said above I strongly suspect Zach Braff has a lot to answer for...

elaine-- *blushing* oh give over... but many thanks for those kind words. And you're right about the reference of course. Tuneful they might not have been, but the 'Rats made damn fine Pogo music... (as they say otherwhere though YMMV).

orchidea-- Dubrovnik is an odd place. The reconstruction has left it pristine (barring a few gouges in the odd monastary wall from the mortar bombs' shrapnel), but a bit soul-less IMO. More movie set than living breathing city, but maybe it has been tainted by Venice being the immediate next port of call...

So now I have to add Bastia and Stein am Rhein to "the list".

Shattered Socceroos defender Rhys Williams faces the prospect of missing a second successive World Cup after suffering a serious achilles injury.
The 25-year-old went down in an awkward clash during Middlesbrough's scoreless draw with Wigan in the English Championship at Riverside Stadium on Wednesday morning (AEDT).
Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou will wait anxiously to learn the exact extent of the damage, with the blow coming just 10 days after a knee injury almost certainly put Germany-based attacking star Robbie Kruse out of the World Cup in Brazil in June.
Play was stopped for a number of minutes as Williams received treatment and was given oxygen, before coming off on a stretcher in a leg brace and taken to hospital.
"They will check him and we will know more soon but it looks like a very serious injury for Rhys," said Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka.
"His face and the doctor's face were not good. He was crying and I feel sympathy for him.
"It is very bad injury for him. I hope he will recover as soon as possible because he had a big chance to play in the World Cup so that will be a big incentive for him.
"All our feelings are with him, mine, the team's, the staff's. He will get all the support we can give him."
A torn achilles could sideline Williams for at least six months, including June's World Cup.
It could also cruel a reported multi-million dollar deal with English Premier League outfit Swansea City - a move flagged by UK media last week.
Williams, who has 14 caps for Australia, appeared a certain selection for the World Cup after featuring in the Socceroos' friendly against Costa Rica in November.
It's unfortunately a familiar situation for the West Australian, who missed the 2010 World Cup in South Africa with a serious pelvic injury.
Then Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek said Williams would've been a certain member of his squad if Middlesbrough had allowed him enough time to recover.
"(Former Boro manager) Gordon Strachan let him play for weeks with an injury. Gordon Strachan let him play with an injection every game. If you do that with a 20-year-old player, you take a risk," Verbeek said at the time.
"I'm 100 per cent sure if they (Middlesbrough) had given him the normal treatment for a player, he should be in the World Cup."

"Blackberry storm is storm in my life "The good: email is good until the black berry system is being upgraded in midle of working day.The bad: Slow, bad voice quality, freezing, none responsive, sales persons in Verizon are blinded by incentives
Summary: Blackberry storm is Slow, has bad voice quality, freezing, none responsiv. To top it off, ales persons in Verizon are blinded by incentives.
This phone been a storm in my life ever since I purchased it form Verizon.
Sales people in Verizon are getting incentives so they will spin the saturation like the media of the day.
Every time I went into a Verizon store or called Blackberry, they promised the next update will fix it all. And fix it, DID NOT.
I am on my 4th blackberry storm in less than 4 months. All of them have the same problem. These people have wasted my valuable time.
I am giving up. I want another phone.
Companies being so insensitive to their costumer time and frustration should not be supported.
Value your time and money.

Cracked Laptop Screen Repair Can Save Your Laptop
Cracked Laptop Screen Repair Can Have You Loving Your Laptop Again
With Cracked Laptop Screen Repair you can save that laptop that you thought was done and worthless or maybe you thought it was a nightmare to get fixed.
Believe it or not your laptop can be working and looking like the day you first took it out of the box with a replacement screen. Although it is a major component of the laptop itself, it doesn't mean that you have a worthless brick not that the screen is broken.
Today more than ever you need to extend the life of your electronic devices to get every dollar you have invested in them not to mention the data and applications that are on them. You more than likely have hundreds of hours of time invested in that data on your laptop, and to actually try to get every file you have ever made or created is next to impossible.
Just because you can not see the screen doesn't mean you that it is a lost cause, the screen can be replaced with an exact to the detail OEM spec screen. Each model laptop uses a specific model screen and that is what MUST be put back into the unit for it to work properly.
A cracked laptop screen repair can be done very quickly, all you need to do to start the process is call or text us at 856-942-1008 and give us some information on the make and model of your laptop. With that information we can tell you what the exact investment will be to renew your laptop screen to a like new condition.
Most cracked laptop screen repair treatments are done for $187.00 some cost more but most are done for that price. We will need to either pickup or have you drop off the laptop the open it and get the exact model number off of the screen unit itself because they are very specific components.
Some times a manufacture uses more than one model screen in a laptop during the duration of the production of that models life cycle. In using various models it can also mean various connection types are used internally so that can complicate matters when replacing a screen. This is where we come in and you do not have to worry about that at all.
Even if you do not know the model or how to get the model number no worries we will take care of that for you. Just say "I do not know the model of my laptop " and we will take care of the technical stuff.
You can also use the form below to send a repair request to begin the process.

The three candidates for two open seats on the Nanuet School Board met Monday at A. MacArthur Barr Middle School for a candidate's night, which was hosted by the Nanuet PTA Council.
The three candidates running for the three-year term in the May 21st election are incumbents Karen Franchino, who's been on the board for 24 years, and Ron Hansen, who's been on the board 15 years total in two separate stints, as well as Scott Walters, who is running for the board for the seventh time in nine years.
A lot of Walters' answers Monday night focused on bringing a new energy to the board. When asked why he wanted to be a board member, Walters talked about how he would bring something new with him.
"I'm making another run for school board because even though there is plenty of good that's going on in the Nanuet schools, there's still plenty more to do," he said. "New voices and new ideas need to be heard. Right now, with a 24-year incumbent and basically a 15-year incumbent, the ability to have fresh voices and fresh ideas is somewhat limited."
When Franchino and Hansen were asked why they wanted back on the board, they talked about the difficult time facing the district currently and wanting to help navigate the situation.
"Right now I think we're probably at the toughest time in my 24 years, and I just don't feel that it's right after all the years I've been here to be bailing at this point," Franchino said. "I think it's going to be tough for our taxpayers right now. It's going to be tough for our school board right now. It's going to be tough for our administration right now, and most importantly, for the children. So this isn't the time to give up."
Hansen agreed with the sentiment, and said that while there are tough decisions to be made that not everyone will agree with, he feels people should give back to their community and he enjoys being on the board.
The three candidates spoke about a lot of large topics facing the school board, but one of the more specific issues that came up was the "last in, first out" policy, in which if a teacher is to be fired, the last teacher hired is let go. Walters, a music teacher who said he was laid off due to the policy, originally brought it up, even tying it back into his original point about the benefits of getting new perspectives.
"We need to do that by making sure that we value all of the employees equally. The concept of last-in, first-out is flawed, practically in a fatal way," he said. "What it does, it promotes the premise that someone who has 15 or 24 years more experience is more valuable than someone who has eight months of experience. This may or may not be true. The person with 15 or 24 years experience may be quite excellent, but the person who's just starting out may be just as well."
Franchino said the policy is mandated by New York State.
"We don't have any say in that at all," she said. "There are many times that we would absolutely love to keep a teacher, and then you look at the list and you say, 'she's the next one' or 'he's the next one to go.' It's not for us to say. What we try to do is to balance it in such a way so that it does not touch a program as much as possible."
Hansen said it's part of the difficult decisions the board has to make when coming up with the budget.
"It is always a balancing act," he said. "We try to bring back people that we can. We are letting go of close to nine positions. It's unfortunate, but we have to keep it affordable and at the same time keep the quality there."
Walters also talked about the need to bring in other revenue to the district outside of taxes. He said he thinks the district should have a director of development and alumni relations working on a commission basis to try and find other sources of money for the district. He said private schools and colleges use those methods to bring in more money.
It was disputed as to whether or not such a position could be on a commission basis or not, however. Franchino and Hansen said the board has discussed in the past about looking to companies to bring in money through various means, but added that it's a potentially slippery slope and they have to really watch for what companies would be allowed on campus partially because of the messages it could send to students.
They were also asked about their strengths as candidates.
Hansen said his work in finance helps him as a board member, and he has kids in the district currently, helping him stay in tune with what's going on in the district. Walters said he'll bring a fresh perspective to the board, and that he will comes to the board as a parent and an educator. Franchino said she's experienced and has been a member of every committee on the board, as well as sat in on negotiations with groups like Pfizer and the Nanuet Mall.

American roots traditionalist Tara Nevins releases an exploration of her own heritage, musical and otherwise, in Wood and Stone, her first solo album since Mule to Ride in 1999. Wood and Stone showcases her ever-evolving repertoire as she journeys both back to her own "roots" and head-long into new territory.
Fans of Nevins from her 21-year tenure with Donna the Buffalo are familiar with her versatile talents; she shares the vocal and songwriting responsibilities for the band and is a stellar musician on fiddle, guitar, and accordion. (She plays a mean scrubboard too.) Prior to DTB, Nevins was a founding member of the all-female, old time/Cajun band The Heartbeats. (They join her on two tracks here as well.) Wood and Stone delivers the musical expertise fans have come to expect and surprises with new perspectives.
"This album is personal and sort of revelatory," Nevins says. "It's an expression of recent emotional discovery within relationships lost and found, and how knowing the core of who we are is the real deal. There were so many elements I wanted to explore—to combine all the pieces of my personal musical puzzle--and then have it come together in a cohesive whole. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Larry Campbell. I am honored to have had him both produce and play on my record. He's an amazingly talented and soulful musician. He has a very natural, down-to-earth approach and an instinctual insightfulness that I really appreciate; he really got what I was after. The whole experience was inspiring and challenging in a very positive way."
Campbell is a much-sought-after musician/producer renowned for his work with Bob Dylan and still rolling from the success of Levon Helm's two Grammy- winners, Dirt Farmer and Electric Dirt, which he produced. He found Nevins's project immediately compelling. "I liked the feel of the project-- her combination of old-time mountain music and original songwriting—and I was taken with Tara's unique talent; she's got a distinctive voice—there's a kind of honesty that shines through."
The record kicks off with the title cut "Wood and Stone," and that "honest" element is readily apparent in this touching tribute to home and family. Old-timey acoustics are quickly joined by drums and steel guitars as Nevins sings about "the better part of me" regarding her upbringing and early influences. "It's got that magical blend of music and lyrics," Campbell says of it, "and it really paints a picture of where she comes from."
Ten of the thirteen tracks are originals, and Nevins's complexity gets a broad stage. She dispenses wit and wisdom with an atypical take on love and relationships through gritty songs such as "You've Got It All" and "You're Still Driving That Truck," then turns to wrenching hearts with songs like "Snowbird" (accompanied by Jim Lauderdale), a beautiful metaphorical ballad about the pain of loving someone unable to truly give back, and "Tennessee River," a haunting, gripping song about the stranglehold love can have over a person's whole existence. "Stars Fell on Alabama" sounds like it fell from her heart and pen too, but Nevins has the capacity to take a well-known standard like this, change the melody, and perform it so ingenuously that it fits in seamlessly to the whole groove of the record.
The record is "framed" by another nostalgic piece, "The Beauty of the Days Gone By" (by Van Morrison), bringing the record full-circle and serving as a sort of catharsis for the dark tone of "Tennessee River". "I wanted to end the record with it," Nevins explains, "because I love the sentiment of the song and it's kind of like 'the sun always comes back out' kind of thing. We grow and learn and take our relationships with us for better and for worse and that's life in all its beauty and glory."
Nevins' rare blend of enormous talent coupled with genuine down-home humbleness has won the hearts of fans and colleagues alike. "Tara has this worldly awareness combined with a fragile innocence," Larry Campbell notes, "which makes her songwriting and music very accessible…very appealing." Wood and Stone is sure to add to that appeal.

Patagonia Inc., the environmentally minded apparel company, and some of music's most talented artists, including Umphrey's McGee have come together to form the Patagonia Music Collective. The Patagonia Music Collective will launch Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at www.patagonia.com/music.
The collective brings together musicians, fans and grassroots environmental groups to raise funds for environmental causes. Artists, such as Umphrey's McGee, have donated unreleased tracks that will be sold for $.99 with net proceeds going directly to the artist's favorite environmental group. Visit www.patagonia.com/music for details.
Umphrey's McGee has donated, "Hajimemashite", a previously unreleased track, to benefit Climate Cycle.
"Patagonia is honored to have Umphrey's McGee as a part of the Patagonia Music Collective," notes Rob BonDurant, Patagonia's VP of Marketing, "We've been stunned at the graciousness of artists like Umphrey's McGee who so readily jumped at the chance to introduce their fans to an enviro cause they support. We're so hopeful that fans will not only purchase this track, but learn about the work Climate Cycle is doing."
The tracks will be available at www.patagonia.com/music, through a dedicated iPhone® app and a web widget player on participating artist's websites. Fulfillment will be handled by iTunes®.
Patagonia views the "collective" as a new model for green giving, as well as a way to engage a non-Patagonia demographic in environmental activism. The Patagonia Music Collective will launch with 24 tracks with additional tracks released each subsequent week from established acts and emerging artists. Exclusive compilation records and more will be available at varying intervals at Patagonia stores worldwide.
Other musicians on board thus far include Jack Johnson, Pearl Jam, Bonnie Raitt and Jon Cleary, Maroon 5, Philip Glass, Zac Brown Band, moe., the Bad Plus, Blitzen Trapper, Mason Jennings, John Scofield, Piers Faccini, Switchfoot, Brett Dennen, Ky-Mani Marley, Sun Kil Moon, Ben Solee, Ra Ra Riot, Spoek Mathambo, Taj Mahal, Toad the Wet Sprocket, the Drive-By Truckers, Bobby Long, The String Cheese Incident, Ki: Theory, Moondoggies, Vusi Mahlesela, Disco Biscuits, O.A.R., Ziggy Marley, Los Lobos, Dawes, Abigail Washburn, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Brandi Carlile and many more.
The Patagonia MusicTM Collective is not a record label. Artists are simply donating tracks for a sustainable music initiative that benefits the environment. Patagonia is providing a platform for artists to participate in a larger effort to increase awareness of both the enviro groups and causes artists would like to support and the music/artists associated with Patagonia Music.

American music fans have an unprecedented opportunity to hear two masterful groups explore the common ground where bluegrass and jazz meet when the Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band release their collaborative American Legacies project on April 12th via McCoury Music and Preservation Hall Recordings. Inspired by the success of the Del McCoury's participation on 2010's PRESERVATION, a PHJB project made with multiple artists to benefit New Orleans' unique Preservation Hall venue and its Music Outreach Program, the set offers a dozen songs filled with deep respect and joyful virtuosity. Complementing the release, the two groups have announced a joint tour that will feature them performing on their own and together in a groundbreaking concert experience.
With common roots in the rich musical gumbo of the American south in the 19th and early 20th centuries, bluegrass and jazz have sat alongside one another with a myriad of common influences and musical vocabularies that have nevertheless remained largely unexplored until now. American Legaciesis a no-holds-barred tour of songs and sounds that sum up the simultaneous (and often intersecting) histories of two distinctively American musical forms—the jazz that has drawn music lovers from around the world to New Orleans for more than a century, and the "hillbilly jazz" of bluegrass, created more than 60 years ago by Del McCoury's one-time employer, Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys.
Known as one of the premiere ambassadors of bluegrass, the Del McCoury Band is fronted by veteran Del McCoury, A hero to east coast bluegrass audiences through the 1970s and 1980s, he stepped onto the national stage with a move to Nashville in the early 1990s that started the Del McCoury Band on an unprecedented streak of International Bluegrass Music Association awards and international acclaim. Today, McCoury, along with a band that includes his sons Ron and Rob, are admired by hard-core bluegrass traditionalists and eclectic music fans and stars alike as they make appearances everywhere from the Bonnaroo Music Festival to late night network TV shows to their own popular Delfest. For millions of fans across the US and around the world, the Del McCoury Band is simply the face of bluegrass.
Founded just a few years before McCoury joined Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has been carrying the distinctive sound of New Orleans jazz around the world on behalf of Preservation Hall, a unique venue that embodies the city's musical legacy. With a cast of musicians schooled through first-hand experience and apprenticeship into the music's historic traditions, the PHJB has served as an irreplaceable, vital link to the earliest days of one of America's most beloved forms of popular music, evoking the spirits of times past in an ever-evolving modern context that has found them traveling around the world.
As a thank you to his fans for the ongoing support, Pretty Lights is releasing a free MP3 remix of Kanye West's new track, "All Of The Lights," which he debuted on New Year's Eve at the Congress Theatre in West's hometown of Chicago. The remix is featured in a New Year's Eve video on Pretty Lights' new YouTube Channel. Also found on the new YouTube channel are Pretty Lights remixes of Pink Floyd's classic "Time," Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind," Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like An Eagle" and several more.
If you missed the news last week, Pretty Lights Music, Derek Vincent Smiths' new digital record label, released two new EP's for free downloads; Break Science's Further Than Our Eyes Can See, and Paper Diamond's debut EP, Levitate. The purpose of the label and its innovative model is to supply his fans, and fans of electronic music at large, with the freshest music from the hottest new underground artists.

2010 was a year of making noise and news for the Band of Heathens. With 200-plus show dates, a fifth anniversary celebration, appearances at Lollapalooza and other top national festivals and a taping of Austin City Limits with Elvis Costello, it is remarkable that the Heathens even found time to write and record a new studio album, but they did.
The result is Top Hat Crown & the Clapmaster's Son, a surprising, multi-faceted gem of a disc. Their third studio album and the fifth release overall, Top Hat Crown displays the wide range of classic influences fans and critics have come to admire in the band, yet they've added, built and grown. Producer George Reiff, celebrated for his work with the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, the Courtyard Hounds (Martie Maguire and Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks) and Ray Wylie Hubbard, tended to the album's vibe and spirit, which is reaching, rocking, bluesy, funky and enjoyable as hell, from its rocking opening to its serene acoustic conclusion.
The Band of Heathens is constantly being compared to The Band because of the musical finesse that overlays their timeless, rootsy core. And the three founding members are all skilled multi-instrumentalists who can play almost any position in the field. But TBoH has reached so many fans so fast because of the echoes of and subtle homage to so many different artists at the core of the Americana canon, including Tom Petty, Tony Joe White, the Grateful Dead, Leon Russell, George Harrison, and other rarified stylists. You can hear a little of all that at a Heathens show or on disc, and Top Hat Crown feels like the most coherent and mature encapsulation of those elements so far.
Given the timelessness of their sound, one gets the sense that Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist and Colin Brooks would have gravitated toward the same essential feel had they met in 1975 or 2045. As it happens, it was in 2006 after each songwriter had established residency gigs on the same night of the week at Momo's, an eclectic-minded club on Austin's famous Sixth Street. Friendship, semi-regular sit-ins and harmony jags gelled into something quite rare: a band with three frontmen, each with enough humility and passion to invest in the larger project. The sum transcended the parts. Bassist Seth Whitney was a member from the get-go. Drummer John Chipman joined in 2007 as their road calendar got heavier.
The Heathens took their time getting their first studio album out, but when that eponymous debut was released in 2008, they proved they could write and record a coherent statement that measured up to their show. They followed relatively quickly with One Foot in the Ether toward the end of 2009. Both shot to the top of the Americana chart and remained there for months, evincing a longevity rare in any format of music. Each added songs to the band's set lists that have become staples and favorites: "Jackson Station," "Cornbread," frequent set closer "Don't Call on Me" and the rocking, cathartic "L.A. County Blues."
Other kinds of recognition and respect rolled in. TBoH was honored as Best New Band at the Austin Music Awards and nominated as Best Duo or Group by the Americana Music Awards. The Wall Street Journal's Jim Fusilli called theirs the best set he saw during South by Southwest 2009. And the rest of the press has been equally effusive: The Dallas Morning News calls them "a must-see show." Maverick magazine says they're "magnificent."
One can anticipate similar praise for Top Hat Crown, as it stretches without breaking faith with the feel and integrity that got the Band of Heathens this far. Opener "Medicine Man" sets a hoodoo tone with slappy upright piano and a swaggering lyric sung by Gordy Quist.
Another early Quist lead is "Polaroid," which the guys say was influenced by the Jayhawks and mid-career Beatles. It coasts along on a robust acoustic strum decorated by jangly chiming electric guitar — a pluperfect fusion of pop and roots. Ed Jurdi gets his first lead vocal licks in with "Should Have Known," a deeply bluesy slow shake that bolsters the regret of the song. Colin Brooks evokes current events and the craziness of modernity with "Enough," whose mantra-like lyric and mid-tempo groove will have people nodding along in time. Brooks also shines with his lead on "Gravity," a tour-de-force of forward motion and organ-generated psychedelic colors. Then some bone-rattle percussion ushers in a glowing, single-chord jam ride and a three-part chorus that swells with love.
Fans of the band will note one familiar song here. "Free Again" was written, recorded and released as a single in a blast of energy in the summer of 2010, inspired by the mind-boggling Gulf of Mexico oil spill. It's sincere and sarcastic, playful and chastising. And it's part of a Louisiana theme that closes out the album and ties the whole project together. "Hurricane," the album's lone cover, a Nashville-written tune from an old Levon Helm album, is a poignant portrait of an aging Gulf Coast salt reflecting on storms and eerily anticipating Katrina. And "Gris Gris Satchel," the final cut, is a gorgeous and soothing acoustic tune that evokes old New Orleans and memories of great Crosby, Stills & Nash tracks.
Like that historic group, the Band of Heathens is distinguished by collaboration and load-sharing. And while songwriting and vocal duties are chiefly handled by the three guys across the front of the stage, they are decidedly a five-man band, benefitting from the equal input of all. This can lead to a lot of deliberation and creative tension. But it also means the music that emerges has been through five filters and enjoyed the collaborative creative power of five music-loving minds. "When I write a song with Ed or Colin, I usually hear it a certain way in my head," says Quist about the power of the process. "When we bring it in to the band, the song almost always comes out turned on its head, leaning in another direction from where it started." Music fans nationwide will hear that distilled quality upon the release of Top Hat Crown.

Why Apple needs to make a television, not just a box
Hi everyone,
Rumors have been on-and-off for the last several years on Apple "reinventing" television, but their current efforts with the AppleTV hasn't made it a hit product like the iPhone or iPad. Thinking it through, I believe that the only way Apple is going to really innovate here is by making the entire TV set because:
- there are just too many boxes on the market. Too cluttered.
- Apple can innovate a lot more when they control the entire set (like add motion sensors, iSight camera, ability to turn the TV on/off with your iPhone, etc.)
- Apple would rather make 50% margins on a $1,000 set with additional cash through iTunes purchases than a $99 box.
I'm not saying they should not sell a set-top box as well, as they would appeal to those people who either want to keep compatibility with their old boxes and cable plans, or simply don't have much space in their house for more than 1 huge screen. However, making television set is game changing, another dusty set-top box isn't.
I've laid out all my points and explanations here: http://gizmocube.com/blog/why-apple-needs-to-make-a-television-not-just-a-box/
What do you guys think?


text: I gave this album 5 stars because it really is a classic. Obviously it is not million-dollar production – no early 1980's metal was (not even Mettalica's "Kill 'em all"). And it may be difficult for people to appreciate now, but at the time it was released it was an incredibly bold and assertive vision, and it truly gives an idea of the types of music that eventually formed what we now recognize as pure and classic thrash metal. Here Warrior and Ain show the seed of creative vision that eveitually led to Celtic Frost. For me, the album culminates in the heart-stopping Triumph of Death – a "ballad" that I still enjoy playing for the neighbors upon occasion.

How confident do you feel about your upcoming family court date? Are you ready to walk in and present a well prepared and documented child custody agreement to the judge? Or are you nervous and not quite sure what to expect? The key to feeling confident about appearing in family and custody court is preparation. If you are prepared, you don't need to worry. That preparation will shine through in the courtroom and the judge will be more likely to incorporate your custody plan. Here are three suggestions for preparing for the big day.
1. Be on your best behavior. The court is going to discuss how you've been behaving during your custody situation. If you are uncooperative and not communicating with your spouse about what you're doing with the children it makes you look bad. It is normal to feel some anger and resentment at your ex spouse–but you shouldn't take out that anger with the child custody issues.
Communicate with your spouse and let them know when you'll be bringing the kids back, or dropping them off, or picking them up. And, follow through on what you say. If your spouse has multiple incidences of you saying one thing about the kids and doing another they will bring it up–and the judge won't look on that favorably. Cooperate with your spouse, support your kids, and be reliable.
2. Come up with a well thought out plan. The judge in family and custody court will be impressed if you have a well thought out plan. Come up with the custody agreement that you'd like the court to accept. Make your agreement fair and in the best interest of the child. Divide the holidays equally between you and your spouse, come up with the basic schedule of custody, and decide how you will make joint, or shared, custody work if that is what you want.
You should also think through any additional provisions that you want in your custody agreement. Do you want to be informed if your ex gets your child a passport? Do you want to ban negative talk about the other parent around the child? Put it in the agreement. The fact that you spent so much time creating your custom agreement shows the court that you are putting your child as your first priority.
If you want some help creating your custody agreement, you may want to look into purchasing some child custody software. There are some programs out there that let you easily create and print a calendar, and also allow you print out your agreement with any provisions you want.
3. Bring documents. Once you've created your child custody agreement, print the documents and bring multiple copies to court. You will be able to impress the judge when you hand him/her a copy of the year long calendar you created, plus a typed list of provisions, and a calculated time share. This shows that you really did your homework and it will also help you to present your agreement. If you are using a child custody software to help you prepare your documents you should be able to print multiple copies with no problems.
You have enough to stress about without the additional worry of appearing in family court for your child custody. Work hard before and get prepared so that your day in court goes smoothly and stress-free.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)—Wednesday was the cable television debut for a group of young adults from La Crosse in the VH1 reality show Off Pitch featuring the Grand River Singers.
The Cavalier Lounge was packed with Grand River Singer supporters, there to watch the show on the big screen and take their turn on the red carpet.
Grand River Singers said the show isn't focused as much on the drama as it is on the fun they have as a group.
"It gives us the opportunity to make fun of our own quirks," Eric Busse, Grand River Singer said. "It's different than what most people will be expecting from a reality show."
"It really captures our fun and sense of humor and all of our quirkiness," Justin Cooke, Grand River Singer said.
Off Pitch has been called reality comedic gold by television critics.
An executive at VH1 said the Grand River Singers are authentic, passionate and viewers will feel obliged to cheer them on.

'Veggie Van' sets record for longest road trip using alternative fuel - Edmonton Journal
Couple spreads message of sustainable living while driving van powered by vegetable oil
By Allison Peters, Edmonton Journal May 3, 2010
After a 49,000-kilometre, record-setting road trip in their so-called "Veggie Van," Cloe Whittaker will be ready to get out of the driver's seat and onto her bicycle.
"I'm looking forward to going home and living the lifestyle I've been talking about," Whittaker said by phone at kilometre 45,715 -- a Holiday Inn Airport Express parking lot in Jamestown, N.D.
Whittaker, 24, and Tyson Jerry, 26, have spent the last six months criss-crossing North America talking to students about environmental issues and learning about sustainable living.
While doing that, they broke the Guinness world record for longest journey by car using alternative fuel -- in their case, a 1993 right-hand drive Mitsubishi Delica that was modified to run on used vegetable oil and goes 100 kilometres on 12.5 litres of fuel.
The couple arrived in Edmonton -- where Whittaker was born and raised -- on Saturday. They refuelled at West Edmonton Mall's New York Fries, one of the tour's sponsors, and then hit the road for the last leg of their journey to Vancouver.
"It was a real relief, a real tangible feeling of success," Whittaker said of successfully breaking the record in New York City on March 22. The previous record for a journey by car using alternative fuel was 38,137 kilometres set in 2006 by a German team with a Volkswagen Caddy Eco-Fuel using natural gas.
In part, the relief came from knowing that all the people following their journey, detailed on their website driventosustain.ca,and all the students they met along the way would see them accomplish a goal that challenged them both emotionally and financially, Whittaker said.
"There are different challenges," she said of life on the road.
"It's the most simple things, like finding an Internet connection or printer."
Mechanical problems, such as having brake work in Milwaukee, added to the trip's cost and has made looking for jobs a top priority once the trip is completed.
Whittaker and Jerry were also challenged by people they met who disagreed with their message of sustainable living. In one such case, they had arranged to make a presentation at a Utah school, and then were refused permission because their message, according to the principal, disagreed with school board policies.
"That was quite a shock," said Whittaker.
And while she said that their aim was never to get into arguments with people who had different ideas about climate change, encountering criticism gave them a chance to confirm their actions and values.
"We've done so many presentations where people get excited about our message," said Whittaker. "When someone does challenge us, that's when we get excited."
Both Whittaker and Jerry took environmental studies at university in Victoria.
"We've read about it (the environment) so often in books and in academic work, we wanted to see how things work in real life," she said.
So after six months of learning about how one type of alternative fuel works, Whittaker is ready to stay in one spot for a while. She and Jerry will return to Victoria where they will let the van sit except for trips to the beach to surf.
The couple is working on a documentary and book about their trip, and have tossed around some ideas for their next expedition, which Whittaker wants to do on a bicycle.

The former Cranbury Bookworm building will soon become a whole new kind of bookstore - a comic book store. The historic building, purchased by David and Suzanne Allikas, will house Dr. Wonder Comics & Collectibles.
David Allikas has been an avid collector of comic books since the 1960s, and Collecting comic books was a childhood love of Allikas, and his own private collection spans the 1960s and early 1970s, which he said is when comics reached their peak in terms of quality. He is also a veteran of the comic book industry as a writer for DC, Marvel, and Archie comics in the 1970s and 80s.
Allikas' interest was reignited a few years ago when he took his old collection out of storage and began selling items on eBay.
"I wound up buying more than I sold, because I found that I was able to find great bargains on eBay, at prices far lower than those offered by any of the comic book stores in the tri-state area," said Allikas.
According to Allikas, collectors are often wary of buying items on eBay because they cannot verify their authenticity and purchases often come with undisclosed defects. Additionally, most comic book stores stock old back issues that do not sell and are overpriced, Allikas said.
"So my first thought was, why doesn't some store stock a good collection of older comics at prices comparable to what you find on eBay?" said Allikas. "My next thought was—who cares? I'll open my own!"
In addition to over 15,000 back issues of comics from the 1940s to the present, Dr. Wonder Comics & Collectibles will feature new comics, graphic novels, role playing games, hobby kits, science fiction and horror items, and more.
Dr. Wonder Comics & Collectibles is also planning on hosting regular events like "Walking Dead" viewing parties on Sunday nights, and movie screenings in the parking lot in the warmer months. The store will feature a lounging area with a TV, a game table, and eventually several arcade games.
"We hope to make it a different kind of comic book store, where instead of walking in and being ignored by the kid at the counter reading a magazine, you're greeted by name," said Allikas. "And you're encouraged to spend as much time there as you want, talking comics or just hanging out."
Allikas said that he and his wife jumped at the chance to buy the old Cranbury Bookworm building, located at 54 N. Main Street in Cranbury."When my wife and I saw the Cranbury Bookworm building go up for sale, we knew it was the perfect spot," said Allikas. Located on a prominent corner of Cranbury's Main Street, the store is within walking distance of six eateries and Allikas said he hopes the store will garner foot traffic.
The property was sold at the end of May and a number of renovations are planned to take place over the course of a few months. Built in 1901, the Cranbury Bookworm building has its own rich history, having once housed the Cranbury Township offices. It was home to the Cranbury Bookworm from 1974 until last January, when the Bookworm moved up the street to 79 N. Main St.
Dr. Wonder Comics & Collectibles' opening date is still unknown, but the Allikas' are currently buying comics and other collectibles for the store. If you have an item you would like to sell, please call 609-578-3962.

In its Dura decision, the Supreme Court left open the question of whether loss causation is subject to a heightened pleading standard. The court assumed, without deciding, "that neither the [Federal Rules of Civil Procedure] nor the securities statutes impose any special further requirements in respect to the pleading of proximate causation or economic loss," and applied the notice pleading requirements of F.R.C.P. 8(a)(2). Following Dura, several courts have concluded that notice pleading is sufficient (see, e.g., Greater Penn. Carpenters Pension Fund v. Whitehall Jewellers, Inc., 2005 WL 1563206 (N.D. Ill. June 30, 2005)).
A contrary view can be found in the recent decision in In re The First Union Corp. Sec. Litig., 2006 WL 163616 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 20, 2006). The court noted that the Supreme Court had "expressly declined to consider whether loss causation must be pled with particularity." Based on pre-Dura circuit court decisions finding that F.R.C.P. 9(b)'s particularity standard is applicable to loss causation and the fact that "the Fourth Circuit has held that every element of a common law fraud action must be plead with particularity," the court decided that the plaintiffs needed to satisfy the heightened pleading standard.Posted by Lyle Roberts at March 8, 2006 8:17 PM | TrackBack

People have been asking us if Opium Group plans to open a Mansion in NYC. Here's the word straight from PR maven Vanessa Menkes' mouth: "The Opium Group has been considering a number of opportunities in New York City, though has not yet decided upon a location or name for a potential NYC venue." As for Opium buying BED, a rumor we never heard about until someone told us about an article in The Sun Post, well, that's just plain wrong. Not even close. The only thing going to BED is that rumor.

Here's the word -- The Opium Group is looking into buying Crobar in NYC, turning it into Mansion as well as adding a Prive to the Vegas strip. However, given the fact that they have been expanding quite rapidly with several loss leaders in their nightlife portfolio (ie: the Abyssmally Slow "Living Room" in Vegas) they might put the breaks on any further acquisitions, especially since Crobar in NYC is addled with a large Tax Lein and the Chelsea nightlife hub is already saturated like a florida swamp. In other news the owners of Cameo are looking to unload their historic Washington Ave. property, perhaps riding its miniwave of success. Could George V finally land his prized Buddha Bar in Miami. And . . .Will the "Butter" scheduled to open in the Delano be burnt in this scorching nightlife market??? Stay tuned kids . . . its going to get interesting.
Good stuff King..gonna use some for Friday's column, thanks!
King your wrong on pretty much all accounts - Butter isnt going into the Delano, Lenny Kravitz is doing a bar there instead - Morgans dropped Butter a while ago. George V would never go into a space as large as Crobar and Living Room in Las Vegas isnt even open yet - I hear from an insider that it opens in the fall at the same time as Prive Las Vegas so how can it be slow. Hate to admit it but Opium Group's venues are all slammed every weekend - and they already selected a location in NY - and its not Crobar.
Lenny Kravitz is doing a bar?? More info please!
Lenny has an interior design company (aptly named Kravitz Design). They are the creative director, with Morgans Hotel Group's Architect-Adache Group. Its a small venue with the ability to have cozy little music sessions or a DJ. Gonna be hot!

News: Asher Roth Confirms Working W/ The Neptunes For New Album, "We Got Some Friends You Wouldn't Expect" [Video]
Tuesday, Feb 23, 2010 1:15PM
Rapper Asher Roth announced that he is working with production duo The Neptunes on his upcoming sophomore album.
According to Roth, it is most important to have a vision of the project before trying to rush out records.
"We got a couple joints, couple ideas that I was working with," Roth told television host Clinton Sparks. "But right now we're just getting the ideas and vision correct, we got our ball of clay, but we haven't started carving yet which I think it's super important to get a battle plan and vision together, if you don't have that, I mean, it's always nice to have your plan and let it go where it goes. But to just step blindly into stuff, it's fun but at the same time, that's why we're in Miami messing around, we got some friends down here. We got some friends that you wouldn't expect but we're in Miami with the Neptunes and we're gonna be hanging out with them. I'm not the traditional, 'Let's get a radio hit out of you guys,' it's more for that esoteric sound. This album is going to be about bringing the earth and kinda the spacey ideas together. It's about bridging the gap -- but we're here and that's kinda where we are right now." (Karma Loop)
Earlier this month, the rapper explained his aim to drop the solo effort around his birthday this summer.
"There's no album title yet," he revealed in an interview. "I talked to everybody I wanted to get on the album. I shared my vision with them. You want to meet them halfway. Yes, you want them to come into your world as well, but you want to make sure that they're still stamping it with them. You don't want to leave their comfort zone. All the producers that are going to be on the album, I've sat down with in their living room before we got into the whole music making thing. That's super important to any artist. It makes the creation process so much easier. The sound is going to give people feelings again. I'm through with listening to musicwith no intestines, no gut. I want to make that dope sh*t that people can feel. That's all the direction is. Ideally I'd like to release it on my birthday, which is August 11. That would be great, but I believe that's a Wednesday and they try to stick to Tuesdays. But my first album released on a Monday." (VIBE)
In the past, Roth has received critical acclaim from rappers like Eminem.
"Asher Roth, I haven't had a chance to, like, really get into everything, like, really get into what he's about, because I've only heard a couple songs," Em said in the new issue of XXL Magazine. "There was talk about people saying he sounded like me, and he was doing this and that and, you know, trying to take what I do and do it. You know, sh*t like that. I've heard things. But the stuff that I've heard from him honestly, which certainly isn't enough for me to make my own opinion and say, 'Yeah, he does sound like me' or 'No, he doesn't.' But the couple of songs I've head, I don't really think he does. You know what I mean? He's doing his own thing. I can respect it, too, because at the end of the day, I think he's dope." (XXL Magazine)
His debut album opened up on the sales charts last April.
Newcomer Asher Roth's Asleep in the Bread Aisle debuted at No. 5. Roth's debut album pushed 62,000 records after being on store shelves for seven days. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) –AT&T presented a $10,000 check to the Children's Advocacy Center in Valdosta Wednesday.
The donation will help make up for a $25,000 deficit, help the center improve its child abuse and prevention services, and upgrade its communication system.
Center leaders say they're thankful for the support they've gotten from AT&T over the past few years to help them serve six counties.
"It means so much to families and children in this area," said Courtney Brinson with AT&T. "It's just a charity that we feel strongly about."
"We served over 400 children last year," said Brenda Hodges with CAC. "In that 82 percent of those have been sexually abused 10 percent witnessed domestic violence or even homicide, and then another eight percent were severe physical abuse."
AT&T also presented a check for $1,250 to the Valdosta Technical College Foundation for scholarships.

Isle of Wight seeks to reduce use of 'unreliable' gasifier
22 June 2011
The Isle of Wight council has outlined plans to radically overhaul its waste and recycling service in a bid to reduce its dependence on the "unreliable" gasification plant on the island.
The council's cabinet last night (June 21) voted unanimously in favour of plans to expand the range of material collected at the kerbside, introduce 240 litre wheeled bins, move residual waste collections from weekly to fortnightly and provide two caddies for food waste collections.
And, cabinet documents show that the overhaul was prompted by concerns over the council's dependence on the 30,000 tonne-a-year capacity gasification plant operated by Waste Gas Technology – a subsidiary of energy firm Energos - at Forest Road in Newport.
In the documents, the local authority said that the plant forms a key element of the council's waste disposal strategy and it is "largely reliant" on the performance of the plant.
However, it claims that the plant has proved "unreliable" and states that it is currently "failing to protect against the effects on increases in landfill tax and LATS (Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme) penalties".
Furthermore, the council states that it has "no direct control" over operation of the plant, as it is operated under agreement between the council's waste contractor Island Waste Services and Waste Gas Technology.
Waste Gas Technology was forced to temporarily close the plant in May 2010, and again in October, after breaching emissions limits (see letsrecycle.com story).
The plant was successfully reopened on October 9 2010 and is said to have undergone 10 independent emissions tests (see letsrecycle.com story).
Despite the plant reopening, the Isle of Wight council said it was "imperative" that the recycling service was altered to ensure that the majority of material could be recycled "thereby reducing reliance on gasification".
Speaking to letsrecycle.com, energy firm Energos - the parent company of Waste Gas Technology - said it recognised that it had been a "difficult year" and acknowledged the council's decision to overhaul its service.
Nick Dawber, managing director of Energos, said: "Following the temporary shutdown last summer of the Isle of Wight gasification facility for repairs to the flue gas filter system, the plant has been processing residual waste since October 2010 – meeting availability expectations and in full compliance with the EU Emissions Standard.
"We recognise that the lack of availability was difficult last year and that the Council needed to consider its waste disposal options, including a decision to remove dry mixed recyclates."
Mr Dawber added that the Forest Road plant is "not typical of the other seven European facilities using Energos technology" as it was adapted from a pre-existing energy recovery from waste facility, with the addition of an Energos gasifier at the front end.
He said: "It is this re-used infrastructure that has caused reliability issues. We are closely monitoring system performance and undertaking preventative maintenance to ensure future reliability."
"All in all the changes mean the council will be able to save a million pounds that would otherwise have to pay for landfill tax and other penalties"
Cllr Edward Giles, Isle of Wight council
The Isle of Wight council hopes that by altering its collection service, it could save around £900,000 over the course of the remaining contract with Island Waste Services, which is set to terminate in October 2015.
Island Waste Services is a subsidiary of Biffa and was first awarded the Isle of Wight contract in 1997 before receiving a contract extension in 2000.
Under the changes to the service, the council will continue to operate a weekly food waste collection but intends to replace its single "small bucket" use for collection with two caddies, one for the kitchen and one to be placed at the kerbside.
In addition, the council, despite some trepidation from residents in the consultation, aims to replace the existing 55 litre black box for commingled dry recycling with a 240 litre wheeled bin. Residents had voiced concern about where a bin would be stored but 64% said alternative arrangements set out by the council would be welcomed.
With regards to the material collected, Isle of Wight council intends to remove textiles from the collections but retain paper and glass bottles and jars. And, residents will also be able to recycle Tetra Paks, all types of plastic, cans and all types of card.
Meanwhile, the collection of residual waste will move from weekly to fortnightly, with residents still expected to use their own bin or bag for presenting the material at the kerbside.
Changes to the waste and recycling service are set to be introduced from February 1 2012.
After the cabinet meeting, Cllr Edward Giles, council cabinet member responsible for waste collections said: "The new arrangements will help drive up recycling and drive down landfill. All in all it means the council will be able to save a million pounds that would otherwise have to pay for landfill tax and other penalties."

Cllr Giles pointed to the support from residents over proposals to change the service, which saw 66% of the 814 consultation respondents said they would support the council altering the existing operations. This was coupled with strong support for a wider range of material to be collected at the kerbside.
"The response to the consultation was heartening in many respects. There was a clear message that residents believed we should do more to help them recycle and these proposals do that in a sensible way. Not only does the new system avoid the need for numerous receptacles, the proposals also retain the weekly collections of food waste," he said.

Boston Reacts To Beyonce Halftime Show
The Super Bowl Halftime show with Beyonce and Destiny's Child electrified the New Orleans Superdome, minutes before a 34-minute power outage plunged the stadium into darkness early in the 3rd quarter.
Much anticipated, the halftime performance had been talked about for weeks leading up to Super Bowl XLVII.

So on ESPN Dallas I saw a bracket style tournament that featured Dallas's public enemy #1, with our own Eli Manning currently going against Dwayne Wade. This got me to wondering who Giants fan's public enemy number one is, so I thought of two players from our division rivals, and two of our players who we have grown to hate because of their antics, idiocy, and general douchebaggery. Here are the candidates.
Philadelphia Eagles - Every Giants fan hates the Eagles as a team, but I do not hate every member of the team, for example, I hold no hate in my heart towards someone like Nnamdi Asomugha, he has always been a classy guy throughout his NFL career. There are two Eagles players that every Giants fan should hate, however.
Eagles candidate #1
DeSean Jackson has always been a thorn in the Giants side every time the Eagles play us, not only is he a player who is a threat to score at any time, but he is a total punk who does everything to show off, taunt, and annoy the other team. When Dunta Robinson drilled him in the head so hard that he went to the locker room I cheered, and did not feel guilty about it afterwards.
Eagles Candidate #2
"You cannot come up with a defense to stop me" - Michael Vick
Michael Vick has been the Eagles QB for two years now, and while we beat him week 3, I will always hate him for the Meadowlands disaster last season. While he was with the Falcons, I never liked him he always seemed like an assclown, but then the dogfighting story came out, and he ended up being one of the most disliked athletes in sports. I hope the 100 million dollar contract they gave him is a total waste after they realize he cant stay healthy for all 16 games.
Dallas Cowboys - The Cowboys have always been tied for my least favorite team ever since I was a little Giants fan and my father taught me how to hate them. I hate how they are called America's Team, I hate their media hype EVERY season, I hate how they are always mediocre, yet the media hypes them up again every offseason, I hate their huge, extravagant stadium, and I hate Jerry Jones.
Dallas Cowboys candidate #1
Tomy Romo always is in the conversation for the top 5 QBs in the NFL EVERY SEASON, until he blows the game for his team. There is nothing in football that I love more than seeing Romo's "Oops, I cost the team the game again" face. I wonder how many more blown games, failed expectations, and game sealing INTs it will take for Jerry to tell Romo to go away.
Dallas Cowboys Candidate #2
Jerruh's dumb, infuriating face is synonymous with the Dallas Cowboy's franchise. I hate the Cowboys so I must hate the man who made them who they are today. He bleeds extravagance, pomp and circumstance, and is one of the most disliked owners in the NFL. He is the exact opposite of John Mara because he does everything he can to meddle in the affairs of his team, and his own fans criticize him for that. Ever since he took over the Cowboys he has been making dumb draft decisions and football decisions after another. Trading all those draft picks for Roy Williams is a perfect example of this.
Washington Redskins - While they are a division rival, I have not hated them as much as I think they are a joke. I feel sorry for their fans that they have to put up with Snyder's terrible decisions, and that they are always assured that no matter how much this year sucks, next season will be worse. They beat us twice this year however, and now I have gone back to hating them.
Washington Redskins Candidate #1
Rex Grossman was one of the worst starting QBs in the league last year, yet he played his two best games of the season again us. I still have no idea how he picked apart our defense both times, but he did it, and now I hope we get our sweet revenge next year if he is still the starter.
Washington Redskins Candidate #2
This man makes me sorry for the poor Redskins. Although he is probably not the Giants public enemy #1, he is still a giant douche and will continue to make stupid decisions that will run his franchise into the ground. Actually, I hope he remains the Redskins owner for years to come, so they can remain in their rightful place as the punching bag of the NFC East.
New York Giants - Why would I include our own team in this FanPost full of asshats, douchecanoes, and lowlife scum? Well there are two particular individuals I feel have pissed off Giants fans so much that they must be included.
New York Giants Candidate #1
Our franchises leading rusher was beloved by every Giants fan during his time with the Giants, especially me, I idolized the guy. But after he retired and bashed Eli and Coughlin I could not believe it. I could not believe the total lack of loyalty and respect he showed the team that made him who he was, and myself and the rest of that fans at that day at the Meadowlands let him have it when he was inducted into the ring of honor. After that, there were various stories of his nonsense such as when he dumped his pregnant wife to run off with a 20 something college intern and when he said the "c-word" on live television. What a guy.
New York Giants Candidate #2
Jeremy Shockey was a great Tight End his first few years with the Giants, I liked him so much that I didn't mind his me first attitude, his stupid remarks to the press, his dumb antics on the field. Then he got held back by injuries and never kept his mouth shut, I think he hampered Eli's development by constantly asking for the ball to be thrown in his direction. After receiving a super bowl ring he didn't earn, he got into an argument with Reese and was traded to the Saints, where he won a ring with them as well. He is the biggest diva in New York Giants history and his douchebaggery is evidenced by his funny twitter war with Toomer.

I can honestly say that this year can be summed up in one simple word. It wasn't amazing, nor was it wonderful, not sad, or terrible, though it probably was all those things one time or another. No, my year has been very interesting. Now it is finally drawing to a close, and looking back on everything that's happened I am amazed at how the time flew by.

Not sure if it's okay to write a non-blazer related article, but this did cross my mind and I was wondering what everyone else thought.
I find that papers on my home office desk are a net negative. I have notes from phone calls, meetings, etc. They're always getting lost, reshuffled, moved around. My kid uses them to draw green and pink cows (using my highlighters). I can't find the ones I need, and am always picking up ones I won't need for a while and moving them. My "active files" rack I rarely access, simply because most of the relevant info is in my e-mail or electronic files anyway.
I'm thinking about just scanning any meeting/phone call notes in (or retyping them) and putting them in my computer filing system. Going 99% paperless if I can. I have a decent electronic backup schedule, so a hardcopy is usually not necessary.
What do you think? Are hard copies obsolete?

|Trihydroxyflavones with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22806885 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The classical anti-inflammatory therapies are frequently ineffective and present numerous and severe side effects, especially in long term use, which requires the development of anti-inflammatory drugs with different scaffolds and mechanisms of action. Owing to the high antioxidant potential and anti-inflammatory activities already inferred for hydroxyflavones, we found it would be relevant to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of a series of trihydroxyflavones by testing their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in cells and cell-free systems and to inhibit the proinflammatory pathways mediated by the enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), in which reactive species have a proven involvement. The tested trihydroxyflavones proved to be effective inhibitors of neutrophils' oxidative burst and were shown to scavenge different ROS and RNS in cell-free systems. The most active compound in the majority of the assays was 3,3',4'-trihydroxyflavone, which was somehow expected due to the presence of the ortho-dihydroxy in the B-ring, an important structural feature in terms of free radical scavenging activity. Additionally, the studied compounds were able to inhibit the production of leukotriene B(4) by 5-LOX in activated neutrophils. 3,5,7-Trihydroxyflavone was able to inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, which makes it a dual inhibitor of COX and 5-LOX pathways and, therefore, a promising candidate for a new therapeutic option in the treatment of inflammatory processes.
