Thirty five years ago, while Mick and Keef injected the final doses of Jack and junk into Beggars Banquet out in Los Angeles, Brian Jones sucked a deep hit of kif and hopped a cab down the coast from Tangier to Larache with engineer George Chkiantz and girlfriend Suki in tow. From Larache the group hiked halfway up a mountain to the village of Jajouka, where for ages masses of drummers pounded under a chorus of reed ripping rhaita players as part of the Bou Jeloud ritual dance. Jones dreamed of expanding the Stones' sound beyond their American roots influence. Easily bored, he'd already exhausted sitar, vibraphone, dulcimer, and "the bloody marimbas" (as Keith called them) two years earlier on Aftermath.
As Jones' health famously sagged along with the bags under his eyes, The Rolling Stones found less and less use for his experiments. "Moroccan drums" pop up on "Midnight Rambler", but the band would never hike that mountain for the elusive Jajouka fusion. That is, not until they mattered little, in the late 80s, for "Continental Drift", a cut hidden deep in the career nadir of Steel Wheels. By then, looking to Africa for a muse had become AOR cliche, thanks to Paul Simon and Sting. Even the derided Paul McCartney overcame bubblegum balladry for Band on the Run, recorded in Lagos amidst studio shortcomings and legendary knife-point muggings.
Which brings us to Blur and their long-developed Think Tank, recorded in Morocco without founding guitar icon Graham Coxon. Rock 'n' roll precedent begs certain questions. Will the loss of Coxon equate to the loss of Brian Jones (or Mick Taylor) or a hypothetical loss of Keith Richards? Will Think Tank be another Cut the Crap, The Final Cut, Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde, Carl and the Passions (So Tough), Good Stuff, And Then There Were Three, Wake of the Flood, Mag Earwig, Stranded, One Hot Minute, Face Dances, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, Other Voices, Squeeze, Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age, Ultra, Drama, Slow Buildings, Road Hawks, Now and Them, or Chinese Democracy? Or more along the lines of Sticky Fingers, Back in Black, XTRMNTR, Adore, Up, In the Studio, Movement, Everything Must Go, Soft Bulletin, Power, Corruption & Lies, First Step, Damaged, Green Mind, This Is Hardcore, Coming Up, Full House, and ...And Justice for All?
With the exception of a year back in 1995, Blur have never rested on their laurels. Unlike their peers, they've delivered each album dipped in a drastic new element while keeping a consistent melodic heart. Albarn has always taken his shots, and thirteen years on seems to savor the challenge. Take, for instance, 2002's Mali Music, his rich, ethereal solo equivalent to Brian Jones' The Pipes of Pan at Joujouka: not content to simply document the musical heritage of the locals, Albarn stepped in alongside Afel Bocoum, protegé to Ali Farka Toure, humming his melodica during Niger-side jams and later reassembling the results in London as a montage of British-pop sensibilities with post-production special effects and punches of guitar, bass, and keyboard. The ambience and dust of the Malian excursion settles heavily over Think Tank, and notably, Albarn seems to have picked up more guitar skills from Bocoum than Coxon. The majestic, snaking "Out of Time" relies less on the lugubrious, Gibraltar-docked solo than the vast, four-dimensional environment surrounding it. One gets the sense that even if Graham Coxon had caught the flight to Marrakesh, Think Tank wouldn't have turned out much different.
Of course, all this focus on Damon and Graham discredits Alex James and Dave Rowntree, who really push Think Tank through the sand. The two both preempted the critics by perfectly describing the new music in interviews. James claimed Think Tank "has hips," while Rowntree simply said it's most similar to Parklife. James goes the furthest in giving Blur hips, beyond often posing with his protruding-- with the focus off Coxon, his brilliant bass playing will finally be seen as the vital element in Blur. It gave "Girls and Boys", "Parklife", "Coffee and TV", and "Song 2" their major hooks, while Graham hammered away on minimal riffs. If you're air-playing anything along to those tracks, it's the air-bass you're wriggling your index and middle fingers to. Likewise, Think Tank is laden with creative bass leads.
"Brothers and Sisters" pounds along like contemporary Primal Scream revisiting Screamadelica. While Damon twists away like the Konda Bongo Man on guitar and hammers "Rockit" Hancock keyboard blurts, James freaks out like a Funkadelic foray into post-punk on "Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club". Rowntree, meanwhile, switches between locking the beats into motorik molds or loosens them up into Bou Jeloud punk. But Think Tank is by no means "Blur gone dance" (ironically, the two Fatboy Slim songs, "Crazy Beat" and "Gene by Gene", are, if anything, Clash-inspired)-- what was "Girls and Boys" but a disco rock track seven years before it was fashionable? Even "Battle", "People in Europe", "Death of a Party", "I'm Just a Killer for Your Love", "Entertain Me", "On Your Own", and "London Loves" used loops or drum machines.
Incidentally, despite my earlier, tenuous attempts to link Blur to the Stones in some sort of sacred, afro-spiritual rock history, Blur worship more at the altar of Bowie. The Bowie element has, of course, always been there, from "Bugman" to "M.O.R."-- the latter emulated Lodger's "Boys Keep Swinging" to such an extent that Bowie was given songwriting credit. Here it seems that Albarn must idolize Lodger, in particular, as Think Tank follows the overlooked album closely in spirit. In "Fantastic Voyage", "African Night Flight", and "Yassassin", Bowie found a fractured, minimal sound affected by Middle Eastern and African music without blindly throwing a robe and bongo on while inviting Ladysmith Black Mambazo to sing. In contrast "DJ" and "Boys Keep Swinging" offered jittery, pre-new wave dance-rock.
Combat Rock, too, stands as an obvious parallel. "Car Jamming", "Straight to Hell", and "Overpowered by Funk" inspire the most daring Think Tank tracks-- "Me, White Noise" (with Phil Daniels standing in for Ginsberg), "Jets", and "Ambulance". But, ah, remember Dave Rowntree saying this was like Parklife. In basic sound, as you may have gathered, no. Parklife was the defining BRITISH album of the 90s, ushering in an unintentional wave of newly patriotic blokes who failed to see it as satire, like "Born in the U.S.A." blaring at Reagan rallies. Likewise, Think Tank sounds like Britain today-- a Britain where Panjabi MC's "Mundian to Bach Ke" and Audio Bully's "We Don't Care" outchart Athlete's modernized Britpop. It sounds like Notting Hill, where American media-skewed preconceptions are both confirmed by the enormous white townhomes and shattered by the multi-ethnic markets. Damon Albarn is more likely to find bootleg dancehall CDs spread across a Pakistani carpet outside his Honest Jon's Records shop than Heathen Chemistry.
Then again, Think Tank does sound like Parklife, as it contains Albarn's best ballads since. "Sweet Song" plucks an echoing piano and rusty guitar under a lake of pure, clear melody, and "Caravan" cracks like a last lament transmitted from an imploding submarine on crunchy sonar pulses and disintegrating guitar from a deep P.A. as Albarn announces, "You'll feel the weight of it," before breaking the surface in dulcimer-drenched sunshine. Oh, and Graham does pop up once, on "Battery in Your Leg", which opens sounding eerily similar to Eno and Bowie's Berlin output before Coxon makes his guitar twang like high tension wires snapping and erupts in Saturn-rocket blasts.
Like being plopped down in Morocco for the first time, or Covent Garden for that matter, Think Tank takes some reorienting. To answer the questions posed earlier, the album is laughably miles better than every album on the first list, and surprisingly better than, or just as good as, every single one on the other. But don't just judge it as an album by a band coming off a major line-up change. You won't need to.

This is a beautiful framed original water color painting of huge cabbage roses against an ivory and aquamarine background. The floral painting is in perfect vintage conditon without any issues. The ivory colored wood frame is also so pretty but some of the paint on it is flaking due to age (priced accordingly). There is no signature but the lovely artwork is rich in detail; a very fine painting. The painting is 16" x 20" and the outside of the frame is 19" x 23". There is a wire hanger on the back making this ready to hang on your wall.

TruePosition, Inc. Key Developments
TruePosition, Inc. announces the release of results from indoor tests of its hybrid wireless location technology combining the Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (U-TDOA) and Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS) methods. Of the four technologies tested, U-TDOA was the only one to have a 100% yield in both urban and suburban performance testing, with every test call generating corresponding location information. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) estimates that 70% of 911 calls are placed from wireless phones and it is further estimated that as many, if not more, than 50% of these wireless 911 calls originate indoors. To address concerns about the ability of existing technologies to locate wireless 911 calls made from indoor areas, the FCC is gathering data of the existing and emerging wireless location technologies. The test methodology was designed by an FCC advisory committee, the Communication, Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC), Working Group 3 (WG3). The test methodology was created to ensure representative results for a statistically significant number of test calls made from multiple building types and environments.

Medicare Physician Payments:
Concerns about Spending Target System Prompt Interest in Considering Reforms
GAO-05-85: Published: Oct 8, 2004. Publicly Released: Oct 8, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7681
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Concerns were raised about the current system Medicare uses to determine annual changes to physician fees--the sustainable growth rate (SGR) system--when fees were reduced by 5.4 percent in 2002. Subsequent administrative and legislative actions modified or overrode the SGR system, resulting in fee increases for 2003, 2004, and 2005. However, projected fee reductions for 2006-2012 have raised new concerns about the SGR system. Policymakers are considering whether to eliminate spending targets or modify them. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) required that GAO study SGR and potential alternatives to the system. This report examines (1) how the SGR system is designed to control spending for physician services, (2) what concerns have been raised about the SGR system and its components, (3) what affects the stability and predictability of physician fee updates under the SGR system, and (4) what alternatives to the current SGR system exist. GAO reviewed relevant laws and regulations and interviewed officials and organizations representing physicians. On the basis of this information, GAO identified potential alternatives to the SGR system and requested illustrative simulations of fee updates and spending on physician services from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
To moderate Medicare spending for physician services, the SGR system sets spending targets and adjusts physician fees based on the extent to which actual spending aligns with specified targets. If growth in the number of services provided to each beneficiary--referred to as volume--and in the average complexity and costliness of services--referred to as intensity--is high enough to cause spending to exceed the SGR target, fee updates are set lower than inflation in the cost of operating a medical practice. A wide enough gap between spending and the target results in fee reductions. Physician groups are dissatisfied with SGR as a system to update physician fees. For example, they question the fairness of including rapidly growing spending for physician-administered drugs in the SGR system's definition of physician services expenditures. The groups also contend that the allowance for growth in volume and intensity is too low and lacks the flexibility to allow for factors outside physicians' control. Fee updates under the SGR system have varied widely within an allowed range largely because of annual fluctuations in the growth of the volume and intensity of services that physicians provide to beneficiaries. Certain system design features, such as the use of cumulative spending targets and the need to estimate data, also reduce the stability and predictability of updates. However, MMA's revision of the allowance for growth in volume and intensity of services from an annual change to a 10-year moving average will help to make future updates more stable and predictable. Possible alternatives to the SGR system cluster around the two broad approaches under consideration: (1) end the use of spending targets and separate fee updates from explicit efforts to moderate spending growth or (2) retain spending targets but modify the current SGR system to address perceived shortcomings. CMS projects that either of the two approaches will result in higher aggregate spending, thereby increasing the difficulty of addressing Medicare's long-run financial challenges. The first approach emphasizes stable fee updates, while the second approach automatically adjusts fee updates if spending growth deviates from a predetermined target. While seeking to pay physicians appropriately, it is important to consider how modifications or alterations to the SGR system would affect the long-term sustainability and affordability of the Medicare program. In this context, the choice between the two approaches may hinge on whether primary consideration should be given to stable fee increases or to the need for fiscal discipline within the Medicare program. CMS agreed with the concluding observations in the draft report. Groups representing physicians commented that overall, the draft report offered a good analysis of problems with the SGR system, but did not fully reflect their concerns. We modified the draft as appropriate.

HOUSEHOLD UTILITY: The Toilet. Forget the Oscars, from Mary J. Blige's anal obsession to Kate Moss's bathroom bump, today was all about the crapper(BWE)
While You Were Noticing That It's Hard Out There For A Pimp
Sharon Stone wants credit for breaking a few glass ceilings in Hollywood. And her vagina wants to be credited as a co-star.
- CBS has renewed 14 shows, but not King of Queens, Yes Dear, or Still Standing. And you thought the loss of Arrested Development hurt.
- Speaking of cancelled TV shows, The WB has canned Charmed after 8 seasons, which is only surprising news to the two dozen people who knew that it was still on the air.
- Rod Stewart has been ordered to pay $3 million for cancelling a concert in Las Vegas, which means– believe it or not– that some people were actually upset about not seeing a Rod Stewart show in Las Vegas.
- Macauley Culkin gripes, "I don't know what people want from me." The answer: just do that cute Home Alone scream and we're all good.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Kelly Clarkson's New Video
Kelly Clarkson would like you to believe that cops, football players and office associates all love to sing her popular songs when they come on the radio. But really it's just teenage girls…and it's probably just that one song. But we'll let you be the judge of that. Check out here new video for Walk Away. Let us know if her music moves you to sing uncontrollably in an otherwise professional boardroom meeting. That may be grounds for a lawsuit.
SIZZLER: Is Terrence Howard Gay???
The short answer: Probably not. However, it's amazing what happens when you slide a couple of effeminate looking photographs over a RuPaul song and match it up with some out of context interview quotes.
It just got even harder out there for a pimp. Shame on you, Media Take Out. Shame.
SIZZLER: Paris Hilton on "The Simpsons"
From Star Pulse:
Socialite Paris Hilton is expected to be the latest celebrity to lend her voice to cult cartoon series TheSimpsons.… Creator Matt Groening confirms, "Her name is on the list. It could be a good show."
Could be? Will be!
SIZZLER: Nick Hearts Kristin?
In the past few weeks he's been linked to Alyssa Milano, Miss Kentucky and Cheryl "Dancing with the Stars" Burke, but Nick Lachey has found his perfect match. Laguna Beach's Kristen Cavelleri has been spotted on several dates with Lachey and has reportedly even met his mom. Meanwhile, Kristen has appeared on two UPN shows(Lets Get This Party Started and Veronica Mars) and Nick has guest starred on the WB's Charmed and Twins. If this relationship works out, we can expect to hear the patter of little CW's.
Pretty Girls in Pretty Dresses
SIZZLER: Diana Ross Gets Some Help From Oprah
Overheard this weekend:
"Diana Ross confiding that her 17-year-old son with the late Norwegian tycoon Arne Naess Jr., Evan Olaf Naess, was applying to nine colleges. 'So far he's heard back from two — he got into Arizona and Morehouse. Oprah called Morehouse for him.'"
It's interesting that he still needs help even though Diana Ross is his mom and his dad was a tycoon. I'd hate to see what his grades must be like, though he must have relaxed when he found out Oprah was helping. I'm pretty sure she could get Scott Stapp into college. Maybe not his first choice, but definitely his safety.
(Thanks to the New York Daily News.)
Down The Toilet
There's a lot of toilet-related news to report today. First and foremost:
Did Kate Moss Do Coke in Nelson Mandela's House? According to a model booker who used to work with Kate, the sniffly model dragged him into a bathroom to do a line before meeting with Mr. Mandela. Allegedly. Geez… that sounds so unlike Kate. I guess this happened back in the days when she didn't do it right out in front of the papparazzi. Ahh, the good ol' days.
Next up: 35 Cities, 35 Toilet Seats. The Smoking Gun has posted the hotel requirements of demanding diva Mary J. Blige. One of the more… unique… demands: "Must be fully carpeted, clean and have private toilet (with new toilet seat)." No more drama, my ass.
And since all good things come in 3′s, how about we finish up with this story: Australia plans on strengthening their toilet seats because people are getting fatter. I thnk this is great… though I'm a little upset that Australia beat us to it. Come on. We're supposed to be #1. Not #2.
Okay, that's it for the potty humor.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Ron Paul on MSNBC (10/24)
What an excellent representation of him.
Eliminate Social Security?
Click here to see the incorrect statement made by MSNBC.
Where the hell did MSNBC get their information? Yes, Ron Paul wants to eliminate the INCOME TAX, but not SOCIAL SECURITY. He put forward a bill into Congress, the Social Security Preservation Act, which PROTECTS social security, not ELIMINATES it. RP also wants people to be given the opportunity to stop paying for social security if they want to invest their money elsewhere, NOT eliminate social security. This is the kind of misinformation that really hurts Dr. Paul's campaign.
Why am I the only one who posted a comment regarding this glaring error?
I'd like to see him start
I'd like to see him start naming names and attacking his opponents. This will force them to reply and the back and fourth bantering gets a lot of free coverage.
I see that MSNBC is strating to soften a little to RP and let him expand on his answers. It's definetly overdue, but we'll take it. Our hard work and detrmination is starting to pay dividends.
I wish evry American could see this news clip, it speaks volumes! I think the "$8000 dollars per person" analogy is waking people up, a little.
Notice how...
...the Dr. encouraged her to read our e-mails and did not submit to her request to ask us to lighten up. Translation: We're not going away. Great vid.

He was the same way when Hannity whined about us
Dr. Paul said something like "yeah, isn't that great?" :) I loved it.
call a spade a spade
With all due respect to the good doctor, I think he needs to start batting these hanging curve balls out of the park.
When she asks him why he's still polling at 2%, he needs to be ready with a couple examples of blatent media blackouts. IMO, he should also remind the interviewer that some media organizations like NBC are owned by big defence contractors like GE that have a vested interest in ignoring his message.
Washington doesn't need more lawyers.
It needs a doctor!
Dr. Ron Paul *** RX for Freedom
maybe he should...
IMO, he should also remind the interviewer that some media organizations like NBC are owned by big defence contractors like GE that have a vested interest in ignoring his message.
also start talking about 9/11 conspiracies and inside jobs? Seriously, you militant Paulestinians need to read this book.
You said it
I agree. Regardless of what you believe there is a way to "Win Friends and influence people." Batting them over the head with something they cannot get a grasp of and is likely to keep people saying he is a nut case is not the answer. Besides, what you believe about this may not be entirely what he believes or knows.
Ron Paul knows how to win friends and influence people. Let him do it his way.

Ron Paul had a great interview on a local station in the Ozarks
That KY3 (Ozarks) video is good news cast on RP

Abbas' cooperation with Israel sinking him at home
Only 10 percent of the Palestinian people support Abbas, a Fatah member who is a resident of a refugee camp and a former prisoner said this week.
Text size
Since the abduction of the three murdered Israeli youths, the standing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas among the Palestinian public has reached a new low. The reports of "disputes" that broke out between Abbas and his colleagues at a meeting of the Fatah central committee last week have been denied, but key members of the movement told him they are finding it...

Handshake Man Sitting This One Out
Via the WP, Handshake Man will not be putting in an appearance at the 2009 Inauguration festivities.
The Rev. Richard C. "Rich" Weaver — dubbed Handshake Man by followers of his exploits — has been Washington's most famous uninvited guest. Now in his early 60s, he has reached out and touched six presidents and countless senators. He was the ultimate man-without-a-ticket, the scourge of the Secret Service and Capitol Police, a hero to wedding crashers and gate jumpers everywhere, all the little people eternally locked outside the velvet ropes of life.
When asked how he penetrated the tightest of security bubbles, Weaver would say simply: "It's just God, buddy."
Weaver has jumped out of the crowd to present every President since Carter with a handshake, a medallion, and a message from God. He was arrested at the 2005 Inauguration before he managed to greet President Bush, and his sentence requires that he stay of of DC for another year.

First half sales reports have been rolling in and it looks like things are just peachy for the crew at Crewe. Bentley is reporting increased sales for the fourth year in a row. Sales were up nearly 19 percent compared to first-half '06, meaning 5,600 individuals called themselves new Bentley owners in the past six months. During that time, the company had its best month ever, delivering 1,200 Bentleys in March alone. Thanks in large part to the GTC and the new Brooklands, things are indeed good at Bentley, and its fortunes don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. Being the ride of choice for jewelry thieves and setting ice speed records didn't seem to hurt either. The brief press release is after the jump. Read on to find out about a turnover that was tagged at 739 million Euro, which seems awfully spendy for a pastry, and an operating profit of 85 million Euro.

Bentley Reports Strong First Half
Volume, turnover and operating profit reach record levels
Crewe, 27 July, 2007... For the fourth year running, Bentley Motors has recorded an increase in global sales volumes.
The first half of 2007 saw an increase in sales of 18.8 per cent over the same period in 2006, with over 5600 customers taking delivery of a car. Turnover, at Euro 739 million, was 24 per cent higher than the first half of 2006, and operating profit, at Euro 85 million, was also significantly higher than the first six months of the previous year. March achieved the highest number of sales in any month for the marque, with over 1200 customer deliveries worldwide.
"We have seen strong growth both in mature markets, such as Germany, the UK and the US, as well as in emerging markets, such as China and Russia," said Bentley Chairman Franz-Josef Paefgen. "This augurs well for a good full year, and the recent launch of two new convertibles – the Continental GTC and the Azure – giving Bentley its most extensive model range ever, will continue to contribute to our ongoing success."
