After its 19-18 loss at Powhatan on Friday, the Monticello football team was back on the practice field on Monday, looking to fix their mistakes and focus on Orange. Friday's loss marked the first for the Mustangs in eleven games, and they'll look to begin another winning streak this week.
Monticello welcomes Orange to Mustang Country on Friday in both teams' Jefferson District opener. Both teams are 2-1, with Orange's lone loss coming to Chancellor in their second game of the season. Last year, Monticello topped the Hornets in Orange, putting up 61 points in the victory.

After ringing its hands for nigh on four years, EPA has at last coughed up a final coal ash rule. Of course, no one but the White House staff will know what it says until the White House releases it in absolutely final form. Nevertheless, the staff will now engage in the charade of hosting multiple appearances by various interest groups that want to tell the President's people about those concerns without really knowing what they should be talking about.
EPA is due in court on December 19 to explain to a judge what rule it has written. We can only hope that it is not the pale alternative crafted by the White House and put out for comment. That pitiful compromise would perpetuate the status quo, with the states left to continue to do a bad job at overseeing these huge pits in the ground that will inevitably burst, spilling toxic sludge across the landscape.Full text
Today, CPR President Rena Steinzor testifes at a House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on the Environment and the Economy Hearing entitled, "Constitutional Considerations: States vs. Federal Environmental Implementation Policy."
According to her testimony:
As I understand the situation, the Subcommittee's leadership called this hearing in part to explore the contradiction between the notion that legislation to reauthorize the Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) should preempt any state authority to regulate chemical products with the notion that the federal government should depend on the states to regulate coal ash and has no role to play in protecting the public from such threats.
These positions are a dichotomy if there ever was one. The contradictory ideas that the federal government must dominate the field in one area but that the state government should be exclusively in control in another seems irreconcilable as a matter of principle.
Of course, as a practical matter, these irreconcilable positions have consistent pragmatic outcomes: they help big business. The chemical industry feels much more confident about its ability to browbeat the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) into quiescence under the weak provisions of the TSCA legislation under discussion, so long as proactive states like California are knocked out of the equation. The electric power industry is much happier submitting to state regulators, who, as the recent spill in North Carolina clearly illustrates, have done almost nothing to control the severe hazards of improper coal ash disposal than it would be dealing with EPA's more stringent regulatory proposals. Or, in other words, states should prevail as long as they aren't doing much to gore the ox of big business. Once they get started down the road to regulate more stringently, however, the federal government must step in to halt a "patchwork" of overly aggressive regulation.
This debate has been going on, in one iteration or another, for decades. Congress has grappled with it, the Supreme Court has grappled with it, the states have participated in the debate, as has the Executive Branch, and out of all this intense debate have come two fundamental principles well-recognized by mainstream constitutional scholars:
One. The wide range of federal programs dealing with health, safety, and the environment are grounded appropriately in the Commerce Clause. While the Supreme Court has imposed some limits on federal authority, they do not apply to the structure of the federal environmental law.
Two. A coherent set of eminently reasonable principles defines the cooperative partnership that prevails in the health, safety, and environmental area, and I urge the subcommittee to return to these principles in allocating responsibility to federal and state governments.

For years, Duke Energy has enjoyed virtual free rein to contaminate North Carolina's surface and ground waters with arsenic, lead, selenium, and all of the other toxic ingredients in its coal ash waste in clear violation of the Clean Water Act and other federal environmental laws. And it seems that both North Carolina's regulators and state legislators are determined to keep it that way.
Last year, the state's environmental agency actively thwarted citizens' efforts to sue Duke for violating the Clean Water Act by intervening in the lawsuit at the last minute and then settling with the company for just over $99,000—chump change for a company worth more than $50 billion—and no obligations to clean up their coal ash waste sites or prevent future pollution. As detailed previously on CPRBlog, the head of the state's environmental department—appointed by Gov. Pat McCrory, a former executive at Duke who had worked for the company for nearly three decades—promised that he would work as a "partner" to regulated industries in the state. Federal prosecutors are now looking into whether North Carolina's environmental regulators engaged in any criminal activity in their efforts to shield Duke.Full text
EPA's budget is in free-fall. Members of Congress brag that they have slashed it 20 percent since 2010. President Obama's proposed budget for 2015, released on Tuesday, continues the downward trend. The budget proposal would provide $7.9 billion for EPA, about $300 million, or 3.7 percent, less than the $8.2 billion enacted in fiscal year 2014.
To cope with these cuts, the agency plans to fundamentally change the way it enforces environmental laws. A draft five-year plan released in November signals that the agency is retreating from traditional enforcement measures, such as inspections, in favor of self-monitoring by regulated industries. Specifically, the agency aims to conduct 30 percent fewer inspections and file 40 percent fewer civil cases over the next five years as compared to the last five.
Even before releasing the draft plan, the agency had already begun cutting down on enforcement. In February, the agency reported a decrease in the number of in-person inspections and investigations in 2013 compared to the previous year. According to the EPA's own report, enforcement actions in 2013 resulted in the reduction of 1.3 billion pounds of pollution, down from a high of more than 2 billion pounds in 2012. EPA conducted 2,000 fewer inspections and evaluations and initiated about 2,400 civil cases last year, continuing a downward trend since fiscal 2009 when the agency opened about 3,700.Full text
Yesterday, we wrote about OIRA's role in delaying and diluting the EPA's long-awaited coal ash rule, in part by introducing and promoting a weak option that would rely on voluntary state implementation and citizen suits, instead of nationwide requirements and federal oversight, to protect the public from dangerous leaks and spills.
Anyone who thinks the states can be entrusted with regulating toxic coal ash need only take a passing glance at North Carolina's track record—a virtual "how to" guide for regulatory dysfunction. Governor Pat McCrory himself worked at Duke Energy for 28 years, and Duke-connected sources donated over a million dollars to get him elected in 2012. Once in office, he appointed several former Duke employees to high-level posts, and the newly appointed head of the state's environmental department saw himself as a "partner" to regulated industries rather than a cop on the beat. The department took no action even after Duke's own test results showed that the ponds were polluting nearby groundwater.
Citizen suits fared no better. Even in the best circumstances, these lawsuits are expensive and time-consuming for organizations to bring, and unlike comprehensive regulations, they are sporadic in their coverage. But the situation in North Carolina was even worse: environmentalists filed three separate notices of intent to sue Duke in federal court over groundwater pollution, and each time the lawsuits were stymied by the state's environmental department.
Federal law gives state regulators 60 days after such notices are filed to assert their own jurisdiction over the issue by bringing an enforcement action, which prevents the citizen suits from proceeding. North Carolina's environmental department brought actions against all of Duke's remaining waste sites, effectively blocking any additional coal ash suits against the company. The state negotiated a settlement with respect to two sites, under which Duke would pay just $99,111 (the company is worth $50 billion) and wouldn't even be required to move or close the dumps.
The state has recently backed away from the embarrassing settlement in light of Duke's high-profile spill. But with all this attention now focused on their improper relationship, both Duke and the North Carolina government have become the subjects of a federal criminal investigation that will examine years' worth of their emails and memos.
This is the kind of regulatory protection we can expect to see more of if the EPA decides to issue a weak rule under Subtitle D.Full text
Two and a half weeks ago, a Duke Energy ash pond in North Carolina spilled up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water after a stormwater pipe underneath the pond broke. The spill coated the bottom of the Dan River for 70 miles with gray sludge—five feet thick in some places. Now, investigators have discovered a second pipe underneath the pond that appears to have been leaking contaminated water into the river for a long time, with levels of arsenic 14 times higher than what would be considered safe for humans.
These spills were accidents waiting to happen. The dangers of toxic coal ash have been flashing loudly on the nation's radar screen ever since 1.1 billion gallons of wet ash spilled from a ruptured dam in Kingston, Tennessee at the end of 2008. At the time, the EPA promised to quickly adopt new regulations that would protect the public against catastrophic spills from unstable ash ponds, groundwater contamination from unlined waste sites, and the spewing of dry ash into the air.
Fast forward five years: the spills continue (this is the third-largest coal ash spill in the nation's history), and the regulations have yet to be finalized. There are plenty of villains in this case, from Duke Energy, which has refused to close its poorly maintained and leaking ash ponds, to North Carolina's environmental department, which turned a blind eye to the warning signs.
But there's another player with ash on its hands: the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Not only has OIRA been a major participant in the stalling of federal coal ash regulations that may have prevented this spill had they been in place already, but OIRA has also made it much more likely that the final rule, when it comes out, will be too weak to prevent disasters like this from happening on a regular basis.Full text
In his State of the Union Address President Obama announced that, while he intended to work with Congress to achieve various goals, he will act unilaterally, invoking his "executive authority," pending congressional action. There followed a laundry list of initiatives that he said he would take on his own. Predictably, Republicans have railed against the President's proposed actions, accusing him of subverting the rule of law. It's all just politics.
First guilty party: President Obama. For all his touted exercise of executive authority, there is nothing revolutionary there. Most of the initiatives are simply the use of the bully pulpit to call upon various groups and constituencies to do the right thing. For example, the White House hosting a Summit on Working Families, asking the Vice President to lead a "full review" (as opposed to a partial review, I guess) of America's job training programs, asking every business leader to help the long-term unemployed find jobs, and mobilizing leaders from business, labor, community colleges and other training providers to boost the number of apprenticeships in this country. Not that those are not good things, but they are hardly strong medicine. The rest of the initiatives involve the exercise of existing, well-established statutory authorities, not the use of some free-floating constitutional "executive authority." For example, the first out of the box was the President's order requiring new contracts with the federal government to establish a $10.10 minimum wage for contractor employees. However, at least since 1979, when the D.C. Circuit upheld President Carter's maximum wage and price controls for government contractors, it has been well established that the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act authorizes the government to dictate the wages of contractor employees. Another announced initiative is the launching of four new manufacturing innovation institutes, but this is just the direction of the use of appropriated funds consistent with the statutory restrictions on their use. Likewise, the so-called "myRA," or the poor man's IRA, is justified in reality by Treasury Department authorities regarding the sale of government bonds, and it is entirely voluntary for employers. In other words, the President is guilty of hype – portraying himself as the sole person with the power to do these things. It would not be nearly so dramatic if he said that he was utilizing already existing statutory authorities.Full text
In the wake of the toxic chemical spill in Charleston, West Virginia that contaminated the city's water supply, citizens across the country are wondering if it could happen to them.
Given gaps in our environmental and chemical regulation regime, the answer is a resounding yes. For the past year, I've been investigating problems of chemical storage and contamination in Virginia, and this week, the University of Richmond School of Law released a new report authored by me and law student Ryan Murphy, "A Strategy to Protect Virginians from Toxic Chemicals."
This report is the first comprehensive study of chemical dangers in the Commonwealth and calls for major reforms.
Virginia has a self-image as a pristine, primarily agricultural state but we found that Virginians are subjected to a wide variety of risks from industrial chemicals. The reality is that Virginia ranks worryingly high in the amount of toxic chemical releases into our water and air compared to other states. Two million Virginians live in communities that fail at least one federal health standard for air pollution. Fish consumption advisories have been issued for nearly all major Virginia waterways due to toxic contamination.
The chemical spill in West Virginia should be a wake-up call for the Commonwealth to address the toxic threats in our own backyard.Full text
Congratulations to our friends at Earthjustice and their clients for a tremendous victory in federal district court today. Judge Reggie Walton (a George W. Bush appointee) ordered the Obama Administration to provide a schedule for regulating coal ash within the next 60 days. This epic battle now shifts back to the White House and Congress where nearly hysterical electric utilities that depend on coal-fired power plants will sweep in, aided by some very twisted economics from strong regulation's staunch nemesis, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA).
The coal ash crisis burst onto the national scene shortly before Christmas day, 2008, when the contents of an enormous impoundment containing coal-ash slurry from the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Kingston Fossil Fuel Plant poured into the Emory River. The proximate cause of the spill was the bursting of a poorly reinforced dike holding back a pit of sludge that towered 80 feet above the river and 40 feet above an adjacent road. The volume and force of the spill were so large that 1.1 billion gallons of the inky mess flowed across the river, inundating 300 acres of land in a layer four to five feet deep, uprooting trees, destroying three homes, and damaging dozens of others. Miraculously, no one was killed.
The Kingston spill was the worst of its kind in U.S. history, but it was not the first, nor would it be the last. For a brief period of time, the catastrophe focused the nation's attention on the health and environmental risks posed by dumping coal ash in unlined pits in the ground euphemistically dubbed "surface impoundments."
The slurry contained both fly and bottom ash from scrubbers that are mandatory on coal-fired plants. Because scrubbers trap fumes before they are emitted into ambient air, the fly-ash portion of the spill contained significantly more than the quota of toxic heavy metals that typically result from burning coal. Or, in other words, in an inevitable but ironic twist, the benefits to breathers were obtained at the expense of walkers and drinkers. The Kingston Spill had released around 2.6 million pounds of toxic pollutants into the Emory River. By way of comparison, all of the other power plants in the United States released just over 2 million pounds of toxic pollutants during all of 2007.
Prominent national environmental groups demanded greater protection from Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), both of which had long skittered away from confronting the problem in the face of unyielding resistance by electrical utilities. Any hint of regulatory intervention that would compel the safer disposal of coal ash and the reinforcement of old, poorly designed dumps was pounced on by industry and carelessly maintained coal-ash dumps remain the status quo.
Enter OIRA. Its review of EPA's proposal to regulate coal ash involved 33 meetings with industry representatives who argued that the most effective regulatory option proposed by EPA—requiring coal ash that is not recycled to go to lined pits with leak detection systems--would impose a ruinous "stigma" on the beneficial recycling of coal ash. EPA insisted that in decades of implementing the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the agency had never observed such an effect. Nevertheless, the revised cost-benefit analysis that emerged from OIRA review predicted that a stigma effect would result in $233.5 billion in "negative benefits" (i.e., costs) to society. Far weaker regulatory alternatives that would treat coal ash as if it was no more dangerous than ordinary household garbage were thus presented as the only cost-effective options.
We can only hope that Judge Walton's deadline and a Congress preoccupied with preventing each other from ruining the nation's economy will leave this issue to be resolved by the experts at EPA. Wishful thinking, to be sure. Stay tuned.Full text
Finally! After far too much hullabaloo about the cost of regulations, there was a U.S. Senate hearing today on why public health regulations are important, and how delays by Congress and the Administration have serious negative consequences for people's lives. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called the hearing entitled "Justice Delayed: The Human Cost of Regulatory Paralysis," the first one conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee's newly created Subcommittee on Oversight, Federal Rights and Agency Action. The witnesses included a parent-turned advocate for automobile safety, AFL-CIO director of safety and health Peg Seminario, and law professor Rena Steinzor of the Center for Progressive Reform.
Steinzor kicked off her testimony with a short litany of regulatory successes:
"One does not need to look far to see how essential regulations are. Just ask anyone whose life was saved by a seat belt, whose children escaped brain damage because the EPA took lead out of gas, who turns on the faucet knowing the water will be clean, who takes drugs for chronic illness confident the medicine will make them better, who avoided have their hand mangled in machinery on the job because the emergency switch was there to cut off the motor, who has taken their kids to a heritage national park to see a bald eagle that was saved from the brink of extinction—-the list goes on and on."
She went on to skewer industry lobbyists for the attacks on EPA's efforts to regulate green house gas emissions, air quality standards, coal ash, stormwater runoff, PBDE's and other chemicals. Steinzor's testimony is punctuated throughout with powerful prose, such as:
· [Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson] "did not take a trip to the basement of the building where the agency is housed and get drunk on her own whiskey, writing down her best fantasies for torturing industry. Rather, she did her best–at long last–to satisfy congressional mandates instructing her agency to impose more stringent controls on power plants, automobile fuel, boilers, etc."
· "The truth is that these rules, and the civil servants who write them, do not sweep industry's hard-earned money into a pile and set it on fire for no good reason. The regulations impose costs, but they also deliver tremendous benefits. Ignoring those benefits has become standard practice in the House of Representatives…"
· "Self-rightous crusaders against regulators have become fond of railing against the "costs" that come with regulatory decision-making, but they conveniently ignore the most critical questions: Costs for whom? Industry or the public that suffers from industry's polluting activities? By ignoring this question, opponents of regulation are free to continue pretending that if we dismantled the regulatory system, we would suffer no negative consequences and instead reap a windfall in saved money."Full text

The Seven-Per-Cent
is a Sherlock Holmes film unlike any other Sherlock Holmes movie
I�ve seen. This is more about him as a character, and so is intriguing in a
different way. But don�t worry, there are still puzzles for him to solve.
After the opening credits, a title card reads, �
In 1891 Sherlock Holmes was missing and
presumed dead for three years. This is the true story of that disappearance.
Only the facts have been made up
.� That is funny, but this film is not a
parody of the genre. It takes Sherlock Holmes seriously, and treats the subject
with respect, while having humorous elements and also taking a fresh look at
the characters.
Watson (Robert Duvall) goes to visit Holmes (Nicol
Williamson), who seems to be in a state, on cocaine, and ranting about Professor
Moriarty. Then later Watson finds a man named Moriarty waiting for him. Moriarty
(Laurence Olivier) claims that Sherlock Holmes is following him, hounding him. We
also learn that Moriarty was tutor to both Sherlock and his brother when they
were children.
Watson decides to get Holmes to Vienna to cure him of his
cocaine addiction, and figures the only way to lure him there is to get Moriarty
to leave him a trail.
And so a good
portion of this film deals with Sherlock Holmes facing and fighting his drug
addiction, with the help of Sigmund Freud (Alan Arkin).
In fact, it�s nearly an hour in before Vanessa Redgrave
shows up. And that�s when the mystery begins. Her character had been a cocaine
addict and a patient of Freud�s. An attempted suicide attempt lands her in the
hospital, and Freud is called. He has Holmes come along, thinking it will prove
instructive for him. But of course Holmes begins noting that she�d been bound.
And soon he is on the case.
Despite a couple of silly scenes (the attack by the horses, and the sword
fight), I love this film.
Mainly that is due to the incredible cast: Alan Arkin (who is always
excellent), Nicol Williamson, Vanessa Redgrave, Robert Duvall, Laurence
Olivier, Jeremy Kemp, and Charles Gray.
Most of these people are Shakespearean actors. Obviously
Laurence Olivier is known for his Shakespeare work. He won an Oscar for his
portrayal of Hamlet in the 1948 film, and also did film versions of
As You Like It
Henry V
Richard III
The Merchant Of Venice
King Lear
. Nicol Williamson performed
Hamlet on Broadway, and also starred in a film version of
, as well as the BBC production of
. Vanessa Redgrave has appeared in film and television versions of
A Midsummer Night's Dream
As You Like It
. Charles Gray, who plays
Sherlock�s brother in this film, starred in BBC productions of
Richard II
Julius Caesar
Troilus And Cressida
The Comedy Of Errors
. Jeremy Kemp starred in BBC productions of
Henry VIII
The Winter�s Tale
, and played Cornwall in Olivier's
King Lear
This film is not only full of great Shakespearean actors,
but also has several references to Shakespeare. On the trail of Moriarty,
suddenly Holmes and Watson are stopped by a gate being closed on them. Sherlock
says, �
Like Gloucester at the edge of the
cliff, eh Watson?
� That line is a reference to a scene in
King Lear
. Then when Holmes meets Freud,
he rattles off all he has gleaned about the doctor, including �
You enjoy Shakespeare
.� Later Sherlock
wakes from a nightmare about a snake. As he recounts an old case to Freud,
Freud asks, �
And you and Dr. Watson, you
scotched the snake?
� That is a reference to a line from
. And then at the end of the
film, Freud quotes a line of Prospero�s famous speech from
The Tempest
: �
We are such
stuff as dreams are made on
Bonus Feature
This DVD has one bonus feature, titled �When Sherlock Met
Sigmund.� This is an eighteen-minute interview with writer Nicholas Meyer, who talks about the project. He started reading Sherlock Holmes stories when he was
ten years old, and his father was a shrink. He wrote screenplays, but then
wrote the novel
The Seven-Per-Cent
when the Writers Guild was on strike. Interestingly, when he wrote
the screenplay he wanted to change elements from the novel, including the
tennis scene. He also talks about how he became interested in William Shakespeare
through the work of Laurence Olivier.
The Seven-Per-Cent
was directed by Herbert Ross, who also directed
Play It Again, Sam
The Goodbye Girl
. It was
written by Nicholas Meyer, who directed
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
(which also has a lot of Shakespeare references).
The Seven-Per-Cent
is scheduled to be released on January 22, 2013 through Shout!

A teaser page on the Web suggests Chad Hurley and Steve Chen will soon launch a new service called "Zeen" -- designed to let users "discover and create beautiful magazines."
HP and Best Buy are the latest manufacturers to wade into the iPad-ignited tablet market with the HP Zeen and a Rocketfish slate
The company's round was led by New Enterprise Associates, and as one might expect, Google Ventures.
Microsoft pays big bucks for AOL's patents, secure your name on whatever Zeen will be, and find out if your Mac is infected with Flashback.
For all the cool points the HP Photosmart eStation C510 earns for Web-connectivity features like ePrint and the detachable Android-powered Zeen, we're holding off on our recommendation until HP drops the price and fixes the user interface bugs and network errors that marred our testing.

Let's Get Serious (2003). The album is framed by two white record executives listening to a box of demo tapes and rating each one. They fawn over each selection, even when criticizing some aspect of it. The album is a satire of modern major label music, specifically modern rap genres, and of the out of touch record producers who make the decisions of what artists should be signed.

Analysis and targets[edit]
Each song on the album attacks a particular genre or subculture.
- Track 2: Mental Storm imitates abstract rappers such as Anticon and Busdriver, co-opting a verbose, highly conceptual, sometimes nonsensical rapid-fire flow. The track also parodies Sir Menalik and other rappers who seem derivative of Dr Octagon era Kool Keith who utilize science fiction and mysticism for their subject matter.
- Track 3: Whatchu Know Now is an assault on rap metal or rapcore bands such as Korn, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.
- Track 5: Be My Lady mocks R&B-inflected hip hop songs, as it seemingly targets the gravelly voice of Ja Rule, and Nelly and a robotic instrumental track indicative of R&B of the late 1990s.
- Track 6: I Shoulda Known not only copies the style of R. Kelly, but also references his legal problems with underage girls, first telling the story of having a sexual encounter with a man in drag, and later of sleeping with a teenage girl. The instrumental is a slow R&B sound that sounds like any number of R&B artists.
- Track 8: Word Up? is a mock-slam poetry track, only extremely simplistic in both content and rhyme scheme, in the style of Sarah Jones, Saul Williams and other performance poets.
- Track 9: Beer is not so much an indictment of any particular rap genre, but rather the "frat-boy mentality," including the often homosexually-tinged ritual of hazing. It references frat-house favorites House of Pain and DMX. This track parodies and is done in the style of 7L and Esoteric and the High and Mighty.
- Track 11: Chapstick addresses Nerdcore hip hop artists and "back pack rap", particularly MC Paul Barman, imitating Barman's multi-syllabic rhyme scheme.
- Track 12: I Am is a spoof of Depeche Mode and synth-pop in general, and mocks men that are weak ("I am a pussy...") and selfish people who have no regard for others ("I am an asshole...").
- Track 13: Peter Pan is the one song on the album that has very little to do with rap at all. It is an a cappella song with several vocal tracks about a man who wishes he could be friends with Peter Pan, Robin Hood and The Little Prince.This is a vague reference to Michael Jackson, and his childlike obsession with Peter Pan as there is no genre of hip-hop music that this song could target. In fact, the two faux-record executives discussing the song at the end of the track acknowledge that this song was probably added in error however this track can also be construed as an ironic metaphor for a majority of rap artists.
- Track 15: Back N Da Daiz mocks the common urge for hip hop artists to make nostalgic songs about the past. The song starts out nostaglic (if insipid) before devolving into a litany of horrible acts the rappers have committed.
- Track 16: Outro/Here Comes the Rock is not a hip hop song but is rather a heavy metal spoof to end the album.
The Return of Party Fun Action Committee[edit]
In April 2009, Philadelphia-based producer Yameen released a three-part animated video series online entitled, "The Return of Party Fun Action Committee" featuring PFAC in their roles as A&R representatives Stephen Richardson & Lars Haighmael.
In the fictional narrative of the animated videos, the duo receive a CD of Yameen's new album in the mail and discuss to comedic effect the artists featured on the album including Mike Ladd, Reef The Lost Cauze, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Casual, DLX and Maylay Sparks.
The video series was also released as a free, un-cut audio podcast MP3 at Yameen's website.

American Dove Lyrics - Laura Nyro
Review The Song (1)
Mama, when the moon is done
I walk on by the risin' sun
Wishin' all my dreams for every one
It's been a long time comin' I mean love
Spread your wings and fly American dove
Fifteen and he's seen such bad around
The worse thing when they told him
God was money he broke down
He went wild
He is my (the) universal child
It's been a long time comin' I mean love
Spread your wings and fly American dove
Mama - you ask – Am I alright?
Well sure, but Johnnie he (ain't) come home from war
Don't they honor life no more?
It's been a long time comin' I mean love
Spread your wings and fly American dove.
Father, ooh I hear them
They're talkin' in the streets thru the grapevine
Guess I'll go down to meet them
Father I'll never sell my soul
Not this soul of mine
Father it's been a long time comin' I mean love
Spread your wings and fly American dove
Pure as the risin' sun
Tell them the young lord's come (gone)
To bring liberty to every one
Spread your wings
Come on. Spread your wings and fly

A love song to her future husband | Reviewer: Ralph Bruno | 6/20/2008
"American Dove" was an origianl work by Laura. She introduced the song in live concert at the Fillmore East on May 30, 1971. According to the liner notes for the CD "SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY," Laura opened the concert with "Amercian Dove" before a capacity house. (Loew's Commodore - seating 2600)
Laura made it clear as to what this song was about. "It's been a long time comin' I mean love." It is significant that as she was to marry in late 1971, the song was variously addressed to "Mama" and "Father." In the several verses addressed to her parents, she emphasized to each of them that "it's been a long time comin I mean love."
Michele Kort, in her biography, "Soul Picnic" corroborates : that David Bianchini was Laura's fiance'; that he was a decorated Vietnam War Veteran; and that they would marry near the end of 1971. Vicki Wickham, the manager of Labelle verified , that at this time "David was around."
The lyric "...but Johnny (ain't) come home from war" identifies her love object as a soldier.
The final stanza exhorted the listener to "tell them the young lord's come (gone) to bring liberty to every one..."
"American Dove" was a love song honoring her future husband. Apart from the live concert and the 2004, CD "SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY," the song was neither perfomred nor recorded again.

Although the drama "Picnic" was set in Kansas in the mid-1950s, its themes of age, gender and wealth are timeless, according to the director of the production that will open tonight in the Dorothy Hackett Ward Theatre at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Fine Arts Center.
"The issues, the struggles are universal and still with us," said University of Chattanooga Foundation professor of theater and speech Mac Smotherman. "It's very much a play that speaks to audiences today."
William Inge's Pulitzer Prize-winning play takes place within a female-dominated group of people in small-town Kansas where everyone knows everybody. When a handsome drifter is introduced into the normal goings-on, the female-dominated group — and the town itself — are affected.
"It's a world absent of men," Smotherman said of the mother, two daughters and schoolteachers group into which Hal is introduced. "He disrupts this world absent of testosterone."
Hal, who has a bit of a troubled past and has yet to quite find himself, nevertheless provides a masculine presence and has a personality that attracts others. One of those others is Madge, who is being groomed to marry well-groomed, college-boy Alan, an old friend of Hal's.
The play portrays "a struggle against the cultural [and] the social norms," Smotherman said. "There's something of teenage alienation going on."
By today's standards, he said, "it isn't as if [Hal and Madge] were doing something sinful [or] horrible. It's fairly tame. For this society, it was breaking the rules." As in many plays, he said, "it shows people breaking free of the rules we impose upon ourselves."
At play in "Picnic," Smotherman said, are the conflicts of young versus old, female versus male, wealth versus a lack of wealth, and beauty versus intelligence.
"It's what life is all about," he said.
"Picnic" opened on Broadway in February 1953 and was adapted into film in 1955.

I spoke on two panels at Search Engine Strategies in New York this week. One speech, "Measuring Success Overview," I've been giving for three years, keeping each presentation current. This time, it was completely revised.
My objective was always to get people to realize Web analytics solutions are valuable and to start them measuring. Now, many people understand the value of measurement. The bigger challenge marketers face is determining what to do with all those measurements.
Web Analytics Tools Aren't Enough
A recent Jupiter Research (a Jupitermedia Corp. division) report notes:
Staffing levels are key to the appropriate use of analytics applications. Assigning at least one dedicated full-time employee (FTE) to analysis and use of analytics applications dramatically increases the sophistication of use of these tools.
Last week, the CEO of a leading e-commerce Web site (and former client) called with an urgent concern. The company was having some conversion issues and wanted our help. We received login access to its first-rate Web analytics software and quickly identified two major issues.
The first was solved with only a minor change. The second was of tragic proportions. Since the time we worked with the company last year, only two people had logged in to the analytics tool. One of was the CEO, just before he called us.
What makes people spend all that time and money on tools they don't use?

February 9, 2014
WEYERS CAVE, Va. (AP) - Blue Ridge Community College is creating a training program to address a shortage of skilled workers in the packaging industry.
The program will provide specialized training in gluing and die-cutting. It's expected to start either in the fall or in the spring of 2015.
Carded Graphics president and CEO Murry Pitts tells The Daily News-Record that he will help fund the program.
Pitts says jobs are available around the country. But companies are struggling to find skilled workers.
Paperboard Packaging Council president Ben Markens says he's not aware of any other specialized training programs for gluing and die-cutting. He says companies likely would be interested in sending their workers to Blue Ridge for additional training.

How do you say goodbye to someone you really may never see again? How do you tell someone how much she meant to you in just a few short minutes? How do you cap off a year, a year, of life?
My last week in Lima I did what I could to answer those questions. I went to several despedidas – goodbye parties – that were thrown for me. These include lots of delicious food, dancing, some World Cup game watching, a couple of small gifts, and lots of mini speeches and story sharing. My whole extended host family gathered together to have a large lunch and watch the World Cup final. Daniela and Karín planned two surprises for me – a lunch out of award winning ceviche and a surprise party with many of the artisans from Lima.
In Peru I experienced goodbyes that wanted to create one last good memory. Yes, there was plenty of time spent reminiscing on the year, but more than that, there was time spent enjoying the comfort and joy that was achieved in the relationship. I liked that.
|The whole family gathered for my despedida (and the World Cup final)!
For our final YAV retreat we went to a little beach town about 4 hours south of Lima called Paracas. There we reflected over this whole year and, in good Peruvian style, also spend lots of time just enjoying the relationships that had formed between us. We had long dinners and good conversations. We adventured to the Ballestas Islands where we saw penguins, sea lions, and flocks on flocks on flocks of birds. We went on a dune buggy ride and sand-boarded on the expansive sand dunes all around. We ate lots of seafood and celebrated the life that was found so far from home.
|The beautiful sandstone cliffs.
|The crew after sandboarding.
Blake, Mary Kate, Spencer, and I all took off the day after the retreat to do some final traveling around Peru. We wanted to see the place and community where Spencer had been all year so we headed to the jungle! We spent about half of the trip in or near Moyobamba and the other half in Iquitos. We traveled as simply as possible and enjoyed the freedom that came from not always have plans set in stone.
In Moyobamba we got to spend a lot of time with the people Spencer spent the year with: we had dinner with Jenny's parents, we went to a Mistura food event that Spencer's colleagues planned for his despedida, we participated in a march against bull fighting with his coworkers, we stayed for free in a beautiful home that houses students from extremely impoverished families while they attend college, we hiked the tallest hill around in the dark to see the sunrise, we swam in waterfalls and hitchhiked back to town, and we attended a concert where Spencer starred as violinist.
|Selfie in Chazuta.
|Sunset at the top of el Morro de Calzada.
|Waterfall #1. My skin hasn't seen sun in a while!
We took a boat up the Huallaga River, which eventually turned into the Amazon River right before arriving in Iquitos. We had to laugh at the ridiculousness of the Peruvian time schedule as our boat left 31 hours late. We also got woken up at 5:45 in the morning telling us to hurry and gather our stuff because we were moving to another boat. Everybody on board moved boats and then we sat in port until about 9pm that evening. Other than that the trip went smoothly and we arrived earlier than we thought we would in Iquitos.
While in Iquitos we did a three-day jungle tour. The first day we took a boat for a few hours to get to the first campsite. Along the way we saw pink and gray dolphins and stopped to let monkeys climb aboard the boat! It was a beautiful sunny day – hot but pleasant with the breeze and shade provided by the boat. We ate absolutely delicious food the whole trip starting with a tamale and juanes on the boat. The only downside was the mosquitos! As soon as the sun went down they were oppressive. You couldn't swing your arms without hitting several and they were biting straight through my jeans like they weren't there. But we went out on the water that first night to go look for caimans (small alligators) and the mosquitos died down. The second and third days we were based out of a small indigenous village and did some hikes into the jungle. We found some creepy animals and learned all about medicinal uses of plants. We swung on a Tarzan vine and learned how to make thatch roofs. We concluded the adventure by swimming in the Amazon River itself and enjoying a relaxing boat ride back.
|Sunset over the Amazon River.
|Holding a caiman (baby alligator)!
Currently I am sitting in the Lima airport waiting for my flight to leave this evening. It is a surreal feeling to be so close to coming back. It's been so long that I am quite sure I will feel uncomfortable in the U.S. at least at first. I will throw my toilet paper in the trash and be blown away by the fact that there are such things as drinking fountains and free potable tap water.
I know that I do not have a full understanding yet of how I have transformed and changed during this year, but I know that I have done so in big ways. I am more comfortable in my own skin and more comfortable in quiet and silence. I have learned to rely on God as my true and only source of strength more than ever before. I have learned how to solve conflict in healthy ways. I have learned self-discipline. I have learned thankfulness and fearlessness. I have learned the power of accompaniment, a listening ear, and a willing hand. I have seen incredible generosity and humility. I have seen the power of family. I have seen
I just want to say thank you once again to each and every one of you for your incredible support this year. I cannot wait to see the actual skin on your faces and here the beautiful ring of your voices un-warbled by cyberspace. Whether you helped me financially, supported me in prayer, or simply read my blog here and there, I am indebted to you and blown away by the amount of love I have felt from afar. Gracias. Gracias. Y gracias.
Of the Father's love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the Source, the Ending He,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore.
Christ, to Thee, with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore.

College students provide thieves 'a target-rich environment'
EUGENE, Ore. -- A crime prevention team from the Eugene Police Department started an effort to warn University of Oregon students about the risk of property crime around campus on Tuesday.
Every year there is a spike in theft crime around neighborhoods densely populated by students, police said.
One of the areas hit worst by stolen property cases is the Kinsrow Avenue area.

Does anyone know any cool restaurants for teenagers in NYC?
- c
- cathgirl23 Aug 8, 2012 08:35 PM
I'm planning on going to NYC for my 17th birthday in a couple of weeks. I'm taking 5 friends (6 people including me) in and we're going to either take the bus or the train in from NJ. However, despite my growing up 30 minutes away from the city my whole life, I have no idea where we should go. We're looking for a nice restaurant that will have dinner for $30 or less per person. If anyone knows of restaurants that a group of 17 year old girls would enjoy that would be great. Thanks in advance!
re: RebelWithaCause
I like Malatesta (cash only) but I don't know that it fits with the "cool" vibe. Definitely fun, cute, and popular for girls' nights out though. Beauty & Essex is another option but unless you all order burgers, I don't think you can get out of there for $30 or less. Maybe tapas at Boqueria?
re: RebelWithaCause
I'll second Otto--I think it has the right vibe for a birthday along with the price point.
re: RebelWithaCause
Honestly, any area is fine. We can always take a cab to where we need to go. Same with food. I'm open to anything.
I agree with Rebel that we need to know a little more, particularly about the food. I will say with a group that large you can save a lot of money by going to a restaurant that serves food family style -- large dishes meant for sharing. Depending on how adventurous you're feeling you can do this with a lot of foods. Italian (Carmines is a classic tourist spot, but for a reason. The food's not going to win a ton of awards but it's decent, there's a lot of it, it's affordable and the atmosphere is perfect for a large group out celebrating), and Chinese (you can take over a table at a lot of restaurants in Chinatown for either dinner or for dim sum) are most commonly associated with family-style but you can get much more exotic. I'd recommend Ethiopian. Go to Queen of Sheba on 46th and 10th, tell them what you want and how much you have to spend and they'll take care of you.
re: nokitchen
For Italian-American food, I'd recommend John's of 12th St. way over Carmine's, and you can do family-style there with apps and salad (I think it would be harder with main dishes, but they're friendly and give great service, so if you wanted to share mains, I imagine they'd let you do that, too). Dinner under $30 including tip might be a bit difficult there, depending on what you order, though. It could be more like $40.
Otto, mentioned above, is an excellent choice, and might be OK with the price point if you share a bunch of appetizers and perhaps some pizza. Apps may be the best things you can get at Otto, anyway. But what I don't like about them is they insist (or at least insisted the times I went) that you order all our apps at once and told us we wouldn't be allowed to order more if we decided we wanted more. So we over-ordered and were annoyed.
re: Pan
John's is about my favorite red-sauce place in the city, but I think it would be difficult to get out of there for $30, even with a no-alcohol group. That said, modern technology allows Cathgirl to decide for herself. :-) http://www.johnsof12thstreet.com/page... Cath, if that fits in your budget and the kind of food you're looking for John's is a good choice.
re: nokitchen
Come on - John's and that tourist slophouse Carmine's are some of the UN-coolest places for a 17 yr old and her BFFs to celebrate a birthday in Manhattan.
I like the Otto idea.
Maybe sharing a bunch of small plates at Alta?
If they don't mind a wait - how about Mission Chinese?
When you say "cool," do you have some specific criteria in mind?
When I was that age I thought that pizza was the greatest thing ever. I imagine that's still true.
You could do Motorino for dinner, then walk over to Big Gay Ice Cream or a slightly longer walk to il laboratorio del gelato for dessert.
The East Village and Lower East Side are pretty colorful, so I'm sure the kids will have fun just walking around.
Don Anotonio for great authentic Neapolitan pizza in Hell's Kitchen. Walk from Port Authority or quick subway ride to 50th St from Penn Station. Gets a nice crowd.
Also in Hell's Kitchen - Eatery. Not a major foodie destination but certainly fun with solid "New American" fare.
re: Will4Food
Cathgirl - Here are some places that my kids enjoy... These places are more about the theme (& fun factor) & less about the food.... Also - you may want to go during lunch.. the prices will be lower. Several of them are way above your $30price point... but you may just want to split some appetizers and try one or 2 of them... Sometimes we'll go to a restaurant .. order appetizers and then head to another place for some more appetizers and / or dessert.....
Max Brenner - Union Sq. (IChocolate Heaven)
Ninja- very expensive, Japanese themed restaurant (wait staff dresses up...)
The Hurricane Club
Beauty & Essex - & combine it with a walk around the Lower East Side, Economy Candy, check out the Tenement Museum, etc. There are walking tours on chow hound around the Lower East side that take you from one food place to another... search the site for the links.....
Ellen's Stardust Diner - near Broadway, singing wait staff, diner style food
Inakaya - Japanese (it will be cheaper if you go during lunch)
let us know where you go....
re: Ann900
Perhaps they're filled with tourists... but the girls are tourists, too.. And if you look at the crowd, they're filled with kids of all ages. I think it's worth suggesting & the op can check out the websites & menus & decide for herself.
Personally - my friends & family enjoy exploring restaurants that are different from the regular ones we normally frequent. Waiters that sing or that are dressed as Ninjas is certainly different & may not be very well known.
That said.. if the girls are looking for a grownup / chic atmosphere.. then yes, these are not the right places......
re: rk1
For 17 year olds? Assuming they are semi-cool and not immature, I'd say:
Max Brenner - No. Crap quality chocolate anyhow.
Ninja- OMG NO. No. No one in their LIFE should ever go there. No. (Did i mention 'No'?)
The Hurricane Club - cocktail oriented, so not good for underage girls. It does feel celebratory, but it is WAY over their budget.
Beauty & Essex - This - and Stanton Social - are best for them actually, but over their budget.
Ellen's Stardust Diner - God, no.
Inakaya - No opinion.
P.S. I'll just leave this Classic Frank Bruni review of Ninja here:
re: thegforceny
How about LA BIRRERIA on the rooftop of Eataly?
I cant imagine they wouldnt be excited about that atmosphere.
PLUS, it's right by Penn Station...
OF course, check out the menu first. I don't know what kind of eaters you all are ...
How about Ippudo? Assuming your group likes ramen and pretty much every teen I know does, it's well within your budget. Pretty boisterous place. One of the big booths on the side would be ideal set up.
re: ukitali
What about the private room at Danny Ng's

SlideShow function not working
Hello, this is my first post on your forum (and most likely the only one, as I usually do not use forums for more than lurking :/)
I have read alot of threads where people have had this problem, and I have tried most fixes but to no avail.
I have checked my power-saving settings, they are correct.
I have ran SFC and rebooted.
I have checked if any of my software is interfering, they are not.
The only thing I can say that seems to be wrong compared to a computer where this works, is that the theme preview image, where is supposed to show what images are in the slideshow / what image is in the theme is not updating. It is only black.
After making a theme with several images and right-clicking the desktop, I get the option to go to the next image in the slideshow. After clicking it, it gets removed from the right-click menu and the image is NOT changed.
I have tried using images from the user folder on my C: drive as well as from the library I keep on my D: drive, but it has had no effect.
Another strange thing I noticed is that if I try to change the background on a theme, it defaults to the "Solid Colors" location, and if I select on of the colors from the list, that gets set as the preview image even after I change to a new image from a different location.
If you have any suggestions, need me to specify something or need any information I did not mention here, lemme know.

Archon~ basically answers your question, but if it is the Kraata level you are talking about, then it would be random--with the exception of some limited edition sets that were marked on the canister to have a purple stage 7 Kraata (with it markings randomly being one of the other Kraata levels), which is the only other possible color Kraata a Panrahk could have come with.

Here's a picture of one of the stage 1 version of Panrahk's Kraata; the coloration doesn't change between the levels, only the markings. If you're looking to buy one, they're called "Kraata Xi" and their coloring is officially "Sand Yellow Metallic/Brick Yellow" so they might be listed under one of those names.
BS01 has a whole page detailing Kraata types here if you're interested in reading even more long color names .
