Updated: October 20, 2013 9:23PM
LANDOVER, Md. — When Jay Cutler writhed in pain on the FedEx Field turf in the second quarter Sunday, gusts of wind could have been mistaken for the gasps of Bears faithful back home.
"Obviously," guard Kyle Long said, "there's an initial panic when you're out there and No. 6 is on the ground."
Panic? The Bears lost more than Sunday's game, 45-41, to the 2-4 Redskins. They lost momentum, and now enter the bye week at 4-3.
They lost, at various points in the game, Brandon Marshall, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, to injury.
And they lost Cutler, who rolled over on top of Chris Baker during the defensive end's first career sack in the second quarter.
Cutler's groin was X-rayed Sunday and will receive an MRI Monday.
"He's a tough competitor, so when you see him down and he stays down, you know it's something serious," wideout Earl Bennett said.
One indication of how serious: the Bears will sign Jordan Palmer, a veteran quarterback they cut in camp.
The line between a Cutler strain and a tear appears to be the same size as the Bears' playoff aspirations, though backup Josh McCown did his best in front of 83,147 fans.
He went 14-for-20 for 204 yards and one touchdown, and led the Bears to 24 second-half points.
"I was bummed," he said. "I said a prayer, grabbed my helmet, got some throws in and got ready to play."
Matt Forte ran for three touchdowns, the most gaudy a 50-yarder in the third quarter where his jump-cut juked De Angelo Hall.
The Redskins' Roy Helu, Jr., had three rushing scores of his own, including a three-yard game-winner with 45 seconds to play to cap a 80-yard, 12-play drive.
"They made more plays than we did today," Bears middle linebacker Jon Bostic said.
In the second quarter, Devin Hester returned a punt 81 yards for a score to help shake off the cobwebs of Cutler's injury and knot the game. Brian Orakpo's 29-yard interception return off Alshon Jeffery's tip had given the Redskins a 17-10 lead.
"The words 'Keep believing' kept floating around in the huddle," Marshall said.
With the Bears defense depleted, Robert Griffin III led the Redskins to touchdowns on four of his last six drives. The quarterback went 18-for-29 for 298 yards and two scores, and had 84 yards on 11 carries.
The Bears and Redskins traded touchdowns in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, with Aldrick Robinson's 45-yard catch of an arcing pass countering Forte's six-yard run.
Robbie Gould's 49-yard field goal pulled the Bears within four. They attempted and recovered an onside kick, but the play was called back when Eric Weems was ruled offside.
The Bears then forced a punt, and McCown marched 67 yards, throwing a seven-yard scoring pass to Martellus Bennett to take a 41-38 lead with 3:57 to play.
Griffin said the Redskins "had to win a shootout," and they did on the last drive.
"Guys get paid to get up and dust themselves off," Marshall said.
Cutler will learn soon enough if he'll have the chance.

Sony's new batteries offer four times the juice
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 6:57am
Sony's been working on new and improved batteries, ones that use olivine-type lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. They say that these fancy new batteries offer up four times the life of current lithium ion batteries and charge up in a mere 30 minutes.
Sounds awesome! Unfortunately, the new batteries are only available in power tools at the moment, but they'll phase over to consumer electronics "gradually." Well, something to look forward to I suppose.

Lessons in Self-Organizing Social Systems
A bit of background on RFG: I started the Gathering in 2002 with Diana Larsen and Norm Kerth. Each year, the different set of volunteers organize the Gathering. Continuity comes from linking the immediate past organizer, the current year organizer, and the next year organizer as part of the organizing group. Most years that's worked reasonably well.
We've used light weight planning and a market place for sessions from the start. But over the years, I and other organizers learned more about self-organizing systems. We lightened our planning even more. We planed the parts that need planning– the venue, and supplies, for example. Those aspects that don't need close planning emerge organically. But what emerges depends on setting the initial conditions, and attending to containers, differences and exchanges.
Based on a decade of experiments and experience, some considerations for setting the conditions for self-organizing social systems.
1. Initial conditions shape interactions for the life of the group. Small actions can have a big effect, particularly those that amplify the sorts of differences that create division.
2. When structures and espoused values contradict each other, people sense the incongruity–and respond, often in incongruent ways.
3. The more people in implied ("organizers") leadership positions take responsibility for the decisions and welfare of the group, the less responsibility the group will take for their own decisions and welfare.
As you think about the teams and groups that you work with, how do these factors show up? How might you apply them now?
2 Comments
Interesting thoughts. Can you give us some specific examples?
First: Most people act with good intentions–but may not foresee how their actions will affect the group. Often the effects can't be foreseen. We stand in uncertainty, always. AND, some choices about initial conditions have predictable effects.
One year the organizers arranged for Norm to give a "talk" prior to opening the market place. Later, when Norm put a session on the market place, several participants inferred that since he had one "special session," this was also a special session. Those who had put sessions in the same time slot quietly moved them so they wouldn't conflict with Norm's session. I heard several people state they felt obligated to attend Norm's session because he had special status.
I am sure Norm and the organizer had good intentions, and didn't intend to quash others' participation. But the "special session" amplified status differences and shaped interactions for the rest of the week.

PROVIDENCE - Gov. Lincoln Chafee held a closed door meeting with the 39 municipal leaders of Rhode Island on Thursday, Jan. 5, at the state house. The meeting was a MESS, but that's not to say it was disorderly or dysfunctional. MESS stands for Municipal Executives Strategy Session.
Both Richmond Town Administrator Steve Sette and Charlestown Town Administrator Bill DiLibero found the session to be a step in the right direction concerning the looming financial crises facing some Rhode Island cities and towns.
"I think it's been very consistent that the governor is well aware of the efforts municipalities have made in doing what's best for their communities," DiLibero said. "He approaches this like a former mayor, because he is one."
"It gave me, as part of the group of municipal CEOs, the opportunity to discuss with the governor the issues that need to be addressed," he added.
DiLibero praised Chafee for his mindfulness that the state needs to work with each of the cities and towns in order to fix financial problems that face them, and have already taken severe tolls on communities like Central Falls, Woonsocket and East Providence.
"It is great the he is willing to spend the time with us," DiLibero said.
Sette said that he thought it was great for all of the municipal leaders from around the state to hear the same thing at the same time, so that they can all be on the same page. He also spoke about Richmond in particular, and the possible impact future action or even legislation could have on the town.
"As a smaller community, we don't have many of the same issues that the bigger cities face," he said. He added that any state-wide initiatives or action will, however, have a trickle down effect on communities like Richmond.
So, while Sette said that the session did not necessarily have a direct impact on Richmond, it was beneficial for the town to be part of the session, and any future action that will be traced back to last Thursday's meeting could benefit the community in the long run.
"Personally," Sette said, "I did have a chance to speak with the governor afterward and talk bout him meeting with the leaders of smaller communities individually."

Delmon Young:Â .472/.487/1.000, 5 HR, 19 RBI
Young is leading a group of Tiger batters who are pasting the ball in the Grapefruit League. Two walks in 38 PA is not ideal for a hitter who needs to work on plate discipline. There is no doubt he is making hard contact though, and he could pile up some impressive counting stats if Detroit's offense clicks.
Howie Kendrick:Â .467/.500/.800, 3 HR, 10 RBI
Kendrick's power output in 2011 far surpassed his career averages. It is doubtful that he reaches those levels again in 2012, but three early home runs are encouraging. If he truly reached a new skill level he could join the second tier of 2B behind Cano, Pedroia, and Kinsler.
Hanley Ramirez:Â .385/.515/.731, 5 BB, 4 K in 31 PA
The results are great, but even better are the positive reports about his swing mechanics. If his shoulder fully healed and he can drive the ball as he did in 2009 he will be back among fantasy's elite. Push him up a spot or two based on the early returns.
Brian Matusz:Â 2.40 ERA, 16 K, 1 BB in 15.0 IP
After flashing just an 88.0 mph fastball last year he is working in the 92-93 mph range this Spring. It is making all the difference in the world as he cuts through opposing lineups. He still pitches in baseball's most difficult division so mixed leagues should take a wait and see approach. Deep keeper leagues should consider him a late round speculation.
Francisco Liriano:Â 2.77 ERA, 0.62 WHIP 18 K, 2 BB in 13.0 IP
The Incredible Tease is at it again. Liriano bottomed out last year due to reduced velocity and complete lack of control. The walks are way down so far, and as recently as 2010 he posted a 9.44 K/9. Considering how late he can be drafted, players could do far worse.
Dayan Viciedo:Â .133/.212/.167, 1 xBH, 11 K in 32 PA
Chicago's presumptive left fielder is languishing near the bottom of the league in offensive production. He was not always a well-rounded hitter in the minors, but signs pointed to an improvement in skills. Eleven games in this is not a disaster scenario, and the White Sox should be patient with him.
Josh Hamilton:Â .167/.188/.200, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 xBH in 31 PA
Drawing a connection between a night out at a bar over the Winter and a slow start this Spring is tenuous at best, irresponsible at worst. If he is pressing in a contract year odds are that he gets straightened out at some point. Of course, Carl Crawford should have figured things out last year too …
Freddie Freeman:Â .174/.191/.174, 1 BB, 10 K, 0 xBH in 47 PA
The Braves are giving their young first baseman plenty of opportunities to hit his way out of an early slump and it should just be a matter of time. His current line calculates to a .222 BABIP. He talked his way into playing after a knee injury and was likely less than 100% at the outset of exhibition games.
Jair Jurrjens:Â 10.13 ERA, 10 BB, 8 K in 13.1 IP
Jurrjens admits that he does not fully trust his right knee yet, and that is creating issues. Despite some impressive results his skill set screams "mixed league waiver fodderâ€. A slow beginning to 2012 is probable.
Homer Bailey:Â 7.15 ERA, 6 BB, 3 K in 11.1 IP
In his first and third starts he was ineffective, in his second and fourth he allowed no runs. The runs allowed could be overlooked, but the 0.50 K/BB is very worrisome. Bailey has been struggling to find consistency his entire professional career and this is another sign that he is not quite there.

Teaser photos will be posted in June.
Centennial Tapestry
Aficionados of Craftsman architecture will appreciate the 100 year old house with the 10 year old addition keeping the old charm and style precisely intact. Slip back into the 21st Century as you step through the purple gate into the shaded, whimsical side yard.
Asian Spirits
Expansive and steep, the beauty of this inspiring hillside belies the vision, energy and tenacity of the gardener who preserved the beautiful big leaf maples and cedars, added native species, removed a hillside of blackberries and built a winding stairway from the house to the street below. It took 10 years.
Cote d'Azur
Inspired by the warm beaches and rugged terrain of the south of France, the 2 diverse gardens of this lovely home were designed to embrace the Mediterranean experience.
A Secret Garden
On a secluded, tree-lined dead-end street is a garden gem representing many years of planning and attention to detail.
Joy in Small Things
This small 1928 cottage setting is a gardener's jewel.
Serenity in Nature
For 40 years the owners have maintained the integrity of this serene garden. Approximately 60% of the plantings are original to the 1949 design by Oliver Ester, protégé to Fredrick Olmsted.
Natural Inspiration
One of the most popular gardens ever in our 20 year history is back again for those that missed the opportunity.
Small Spaces, Big Moments
Plant connoisseurs will appreciate this century old cottage garden in a secluded neighborhood north of Lincoln Park. A series of outdoor "rooms" flow together, maximizing entertainment and garden space as the homeowners take advantage of several micro climates.
Tranquil Outdoor Retreat
Year round attractiveness is achieved in this Northwest style garden with Asian overtones using plants that are both low-maintenance and easy to obtain.
The Barton Street Community Garden

1990 Nissan 300ZX 2 Dr GS Hatchback Review
it's fun, fast and a looker
it's old.
Overall A Good Car, But Only Buy One If You Want A Sports Car, You Do Have To Make Sacrifices. — For a non turbo the car is fast, the breaks are very good, even in the winter. It has a hint of under steer, but will corner with the best of them. The car is a challenge to work on, but that just makes the driving experience all the more rewarding. Being 21 years old it has it's squeaks and rattles, but with my aftermarket exhaust, you can't hear to much of it. the car is a looker, especially if you have the rear spoiler on it. I get about 20mpg on premium gas, (that's part highway part city). I have had to replace the fan belt on it and some other odds and ends but nothing serious. the car is a blast to drive especially with the roof off.

Great power and made for gripping turns
It is hard to work on until you learn your way around it
Great Car All Around, But Be Ready To Keep Up Maintainence — Love everything except all the tight fits, the body damage, and how i can not run 10% ethanol....either race fuel or 100% gas (unless it isn't turbo). Even with my dead suspension I can out handle most cars on the road. Gas mileage isn't that bad if you can control the urge to lay into it. Stock the car is well balanced all the way around except a brake upgrade is a must. Syncros in transmission are worn badly (common problem with factory syncros). Once I get the car were I want it, I would not trade it for anything short of another Z32.

1990 Nissan 300ZX 2 Dr Turbo Hatchback Review
Awesome fun to drive, stunning looks, people ask questions about it.
Expensive to run and maintain, would make a very impractical shopping trolley.
300zx Twin Turbo - Grey Import — "once again beautiful, so sleek and tight and shimmering that it still looks great ten years after it went away" - Automobile magazine. The 300ZX was produced from 1989 to 2000 when it the VG30DETT engine was killed off by pollution legislation. This amazing ten-year run is a testament to how far advanced the model was for its time and even today does not seem dated. This car is not the fastest 6-cyl off the line but when the turbos kick in it really gets up and moves. Thanks to the performance at high revs and boost it is perfect for overtaking, tearing past anything anything doing 100km/h. Factory horsepower for the Twin Turbo is 300HP (220kW) and this can be greatly improved upon with some modifications. There are highly modified VG30DETT engines putting out 1000BHP. The braking is fine, particularly with better pads but they're getting to the age where fresh discs and caliper rebuilds are worth doing. Which is also a great opportunity to upgrade them to ventilated discs and paint those calipers. The build quality is very good with only minor problems like vinyl peeling off interior parts and the tweed trim looking a bit grubby if the previous owner was a pig. The VG30DETT engine is strong if treated right but very unforgiving of bad treatment. Oil changes are extremely important as there is a tendency toward seized turbos and spun bearings if the lines become clogged or if the oil loses its lubricating properties. The engine runs very hot and while this is normal it doesn't leave any room for neglect of the cooling system. An engine rebuild costs in excess of $5000 and is inevitable if the car has been neglected or overboosted and thrashed. So if you want to buy one check everything under the bonnet and have a compression test done to make sure you're not buying something that needs a rebuild straight up. You'll also need maintenance money left over because it's likely there will be other expensive issues that will come up in an inspection. The performance also comes at a price - whatever that may be at the pump - because it consumes an average 20L/100km and much more if driven hard. With stock suspension and fast cornering you can feel the heavy (1610kg) mass threatening to break away. With a set of coilovers and some wider wheels the car is transformed into something that handles like a go-kart thanks to its low centre of gravity and wide, aggressive stance. This makes it a hell of a car for the backroads, just not for the speed humps. Considering that the normally aspirated version sold for $87,000 in 1990 a good twin turbo example is a bargain today at around $10,000+. Instead of rapid depreciation your money is instead spent on maintenance for a car this age. This means it's a great buy for a car enthusiast who can do at least some of their own work but a really bad choice for someone who doesn't know much about cars and doesn't want to learn. They are an impractical car to drive around town so if you are driving around a lot in traffic then they are a poor choice. In parking lots the body gets bashed by speed humps and badly positioned kerbs and they are not the easiest car to get into a small parking spot. The cargo area is also small, as are the back seats, so they are definitely not a family car.

If you're going to buy one, do proper maintainence first.
Hate? Nothing!
Buy One, Do Proper Maintainence, And It Will Last — I have beaten Z06 vettes, Shelby GT500s, and 600cc street bikes. The potential for bolt on power is there for these cars, and theyre relatively cheap to buy. Just make sure you do the maintainence. It is a very fun car to drive, and I get compliments on it everywhere I go. Most people can't believe the car is 20 years old.

If you can appreciate something special.
Affording to keep it.
Great For Me, Maybe Not For You. — Performance is phenomenal, put your foot down if you dare. Being a 20 year old car it's had many problems, but preventative maintenance is as always the best way to go. I haven't gone past anyone who could resist staring yet, and has been mistaken for both Lamborghini's and Ferraris. Incredible fun, and much class. Girlfriend loves it of course. Only downside is fuel and repairs, both have been a small fortune, and most mechanics refuse to work on it.

Shear response, handling and looks
Expensive for insurance
Beautiful Car, If I Could, I Would Buy A Twin Turbo One Tomorrow! — This is a great first car! Reliable, excellent handling, great over all car! For a 1990 model car it had almost twice the power of any holden or ford back in 1990. It has digital climate control, ABS, front and back disc brakes, LSD, cruise control, remote central locking, power windows, power steering, targa roof and 16" alloys all as factory standard.

Solid sports car that is extremely durable and many ways to make good power numbers on a budget.
Gotta Love The Fairladys!! — Look at my pictures! So much to say in a small box. The Z32 is an extremely versatile machine. Built in Japan from 90' to 99' it was a showcase of superb Nissan engineering. A car that Nissan eventually lost money on due to the great amount of input it received. The result is a cheap sports car that with some love and a decent amount of wallet can be turned into an exotic killer.

Awesome! — Great car! Fun to drive! The perfect weekend cruiser! My 300zx was roomy inside, sporty outside, and fun. T-tops, 5-speed, leather seats, power everything. Easy to maintain. And I could actually fit a lot inside that hatchback trunk too! I would recommend this car to anyone. (No cup holders though)

Whether you spend a lot of time online or in the gym, chances are you've noticed a change in the weight training crowd. Lifting weights is becoming increasingly popular among women, who are enjoying the many benefits of strength training: strength, empowerment, and often a more trim and toned physique. Blasting through the widely-spread and totally false assumption that lifting makes women "bulky" and "masculine-looking", many women are finding that strength training offers them a way to set and meet fitness goals like never before.
So what's sparked the surge in strength training for women? The lean, svelte lines of supermodel bodies have long been held as the ideal for Western women, however unattainable it may be. But things are changing. Alongside fears that weight training will cause women to gain too much 'bulk', many women have been taught that cardio is the way to go for a thin and feminine body. Well, the times are a changin', and with more widely available information about fitness and health, these myths have been largely dispelled, leading to greater female interest in this traditionally male workout. For example, lifting weights actually is extremely effective for accomplishing the 'feminine physique' that many women spend hours on a treadmill or elliptical for. To achieve rounder bottoms, slimmer waists and toned arms, many strength exercises produce more noticeable results than endless pedaling or running will. Of course, for optimal results, a mix of cardio, strength training, and diet is the best route to take.
If you find yourself more interested in weight training, no matter what your fitness goals are, check out the home gym and fitness accessory offerings at Smooth Fitness. We'd love to help you try new exercise routines and equipment, so let us help you explore!

In a move that could greatly alter how the Pentagon contracts for software, the Army is poised to launch a new pilot project designed to develop an application marketplace resembling the iPhone App Store for the cloud, said Col. Charles Wells, the project manager of the distributed common ground systems for the Army.
Dubbed App Mart, this application marketplace would host applications, and users of the cloud could download them as needed.
"This is a big change for the industry and the government, and we want to run a pilot program to kind of work through how do we make it a win-win for the government and for industry with this app marketplace, and how do we use this model going forward to kind of get capability to the field," Wells said in a Feb. 21 interview following his presentation at an Institute for Defense and Government Advancement cloud computing event.
The Army met last week for initial talks on the pilot with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which had already gone through phase one of the pilot program, Wells said. The NGA was looking to have a service try this App Mart model for a second phase, Wells said.
The pilot will differ greatly from the current software licensing model, under which the government signs a contract that guarantees a certain amount of software licenses, Wells said. That model was reliable and dependable; in contrast, the pilot leaves a sense of uncertainty over how popular any given application could be. "It might be the killer app from the biggest software company in the U.S. or it might be the killer app from some mom-and-pop company that just gains traction and everybody loves it," Wells said.
The Army aims to launch the pilot in the next three to four months out of the cloud node at Ft. Bragg, NC.
The marketplace will also be available through the tactical cloud node deployed last April to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The pilot is expected to last six months. "That will give us enough data from user perspective and industry perspective to get some meaningful results and think about the way forward," Wells said.
The pilot is designed to consider both technical and business aspects.
Regarding its technical piece, the Army wants the App Mart to host a rating system where users can judge the applications. The marketplace should also have a space for comments. "That's valuable because then we can say, 'Hey, here's our really valuable widgets or applications, and these not so much,' and we can kind of focus development toward these capabilities that the users find valuable," Wells said.
Regarding the business case, the Army wants to make sure that industry will still be able to make a profit, while the government also gets great value.
Wells noted that this marketplace will help lower the barrier to entry that will enable smaller companies to compete, which will help enable best-of-breed concepts. He intends to talk to both industry and government labs to participate. "A lot of government labs are working on lightweight applications to run on the cloud, so we don't want to just say industry would be involved in the pilot to build these web-based widgets; we also want to look at maybe some government labs and things like that," Wells said.
This is one of several cloud computing-related pilot programs the Army is looking at to help the service deploy new or cutting edge technology in the cloud. The Army also is part of a pilot project with the National Security Agency that enables running multilevel security on a single stack. This will go to initial operational capability in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
The Army also aims to work with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's video and image retrieval and analysis tool, which is creating algorithms that can automatically find information in full motion video data, Wells said, noting that he had several meetings with the DARPA program manager on the Insight project and hopes to be able to use these technologies as they mature. -- Jordana Mishory

Rubicon Technology Launches First Commercial Line Of Large Diameter Patterned Sapphire Substrates For The LED Industry
Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RBCN), a leading provider of sapphire substrates and products to the LED, semiconductor, and optical markets, today announced the launch of the first commercial line of large diameter patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) in four-inch through eight-inch diameters. This new product line provides LED chip manufacturers with a ready-made source of large diameter PSS to serve the needs of the rapidly growing LED general lighting industry.
Growth of the LED general lighting market is expected to expand from nearly 300 million lamps shipped in 2012 to 3 billion by 2020 according to IMS Research. Technology innovation is helping the LED supply chain prepare for this dramatic growth. Most high-brightness LED manufacturers etch a pattern into the sapphire wafers in order to both improve epitaxial growth and extract more light from each chip. Patterned sapphire substrates have been available for purchase in smaller diameters, but Rubicon is the first to offer highly customizable 6" and 8" PSS. The larger substrates increase chipmakers' throughput and efficiency.
"As LED-based general lighting gains worldwide adoption, large-diameter patterned sapphire substrates will become necessary to meet the demands of the rapidly growing lighting market," said Raja M. Parvez, president and CEO of Rubicon Technology. "Rubicon has developed an unmatched technology platform that is vertically integrated from raw material through crystal growth, large diameter polished wafers, and now custom PSS in 4", 6" and 8" diameters. Our vertical integration enables Rubicon to produce progressively larger sapphire products while providing customers with exceptional quality, cost control, reliability, and consistency."
Rubicon offers fully customizable sub-micron patterning capability with tight dimensional tolerances, within ±0.1 µm. With an edge exclusion zone as small as 1 mm, Rubicon offers LED chip manufacturers more usable area to maximize the number of chips per wafer. Patterning is available in a range of shapes including cone, dome and pyramid, and in a range of orientations. Further customization of geometry, pattern and orientation is available upon request.

Otayo Dubb - Cold Piece of Work
Otayo Dubb began his career in the Bay Area group Co-Deez, but went solo a few years ago. On his latest album, Cold Piece of Work, we get a mature artist confident and comfortable in his own skin, able to be completely honest with his audience. It also doesn't hurt that the album has single after single that bang so hard you'll want to drive around with the windows down all fall, no matter how cold it gets.
On Cold Piece, Dubb works with a slew of West Coast producers such as Fatgums, Digital Martyrs, 6Fingers, MTK, and Keelay, and they all know how to turn soul samples into hip hop songs with midtempo grooves and heavy bass. There's enough variation in style to hold interest, and everything flows together nicely. Nothing sounds out of place, with the exception of the bonus track, "Give Me Tonight," which co-opts the chorus from George Benson's "Give Me The Night" and tries too hard to sound like an R&B club track.
That said, all the great grooves in the world wouldn't mean much if the emcee didn't rise to the occasion. Thankfully, Otayo Dubb lays down some of the most thoughtful, introspective lyrics I've heard all year. On the opening track, "Jerry McGuire," a sparse track that has Dubb rhyming over a simple piano line, we get a great introduction to the artist and the man. He discusses feeling torn in different directions by expectations. People want you to be hard and gangsta, or they want you to be positive and conscious, but whatever direction you choose, the labels can prevent you from reaching people on a personal level. This sets the stage well for the rest of the album, as Dubb discusses issues like violence, poverty, the music industry, and romantic relationships on a very personal level that cuts right through the music to reach his audience. A song like "Only Ones" starts off with the potential to come across like City High's "What Would You Do?," which was just an unfortunate song where the artists got to pile on trouble to a protagonist from their high horse without offering any solutions or even exploring the deeper issues as to why these problems might exist. Dubb is much more constructive. In the first verse, he presents a young girl with absentee parents who becomes a young single mother with no child support. The second verse presents a young male emcee who abandons his clean past to live a gangsta cliché. On the third verse, Dubb tries to figure out why young people would make these poor decisions. One point that he sees is a lack of positive role models, especially in the Bay Area. He states, "O.G.'s ain't grown, they ain't acting they age, so it's hard for these youngsters to be a man, when the people they look up to act like Peter Pan." On "Where Do You Go" he discusses the effect of dumbing down music for mass consumption has on the youth, relating how discovering artists like KRS-ONE and Brand Nubian influenced him to think deeper about issues and to strive for more in his personal life.
I am joyful to be able to discuss this album track by track and really dissect the lyrics. My frustrations with previous releases this year from Beatrock really came down to potentially great albums with a few questionable lyrics. With Cold Piece of Work, we finally get Beatrock at its best - soulful West Coast hip hop with smart lyrics. My only real complaint is that I didn't have all summer to rock this.

(notice the impact made my the only capital letters in the entry?)leapin' lizards. look at the time. i should be off for tonight. prepair to be ~wowed~!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Charlotte police officer accused of shooting an unarmed man 10 times after the man was in a car crash over the weekend is scheduled for appearance in court on voluntary manslaughter charges Tuesday afternoon.
Officer Randall Kerrick fired 12 times at Jonathan A. Ferrell early Saturday after the 24-year-old was in a single-car wreck and sought help at a nearby house, police said.
Kerrick's first court appearance had been scheduled for Monday but was delayed. Officials did not say why.
On Monday, Ferrell's family said in their first public remarks in the case that the former Florida A&M University football player moved to Charlotte about a year ago to be with his fiancee and was working two jobs. He wanted to go back to school and eventually become an automotive engineer, they said.
"You took a piece of my heart that I can never put back," said Ferrell's mother, Georgia Ferrell, as she clutched a stuffed Winnie the Pooh doll her son loved as a child.
Also Monday, a family attorney and representatives of the NAACP questioned whether race played a role in the shooting of the black man by a white officer. Though there was praise for police for quickly filing charges, some said the shooting didn't surprise them, considering portrayals of black men in popular culture and previous instances of racially inflected violence.
"The officer is white, Mr. Ferrell is black," Ferrell family attorney Chris Chestnut said. "This might be more of a reflection of where we are as a country."
The encounter was set in motion around 2:30 a.m. Saturday when Ferrell's car ran off the entrance road to a sprawling suburban neighborhood that was carved out of farmland about a decade ago some 15 miles from downtown Charlotte. A sign near the crash site advertises a neighborhood watch meeting in a few days.
After crashing his car into trees, Ferrell kicked out the back window and headed up a hill to the first set of closely-clustered houses he could see. He then started "banging on the door viciously" of a home to attract attention, police Chief Rodney Monroe said.
The woman inside answered, thinking it was her husband coming home late from work. When she saw Ferrell, she shut the door and called police. Monroe said he didn't think the unarmed Ferrell made threats.
Officers responding to the breaking and entering call found Ferrell on a road that only leads to the neighborhood's pool. Ferrell ran toward the officers, who tried to stop him with a Taser. Police said he continued to run toward them when Kerrick shot him. Ferrell died at the scene.
Chestnut, who has spoken with police officials, said Kerrick didn't identify himself as a police officer.
A small pot of flowers and red balloons were placed on the spot. Orange spray paint was the only other indication of where Ferrell died.
Lance LoRusso, an attorney and former police officer, said it's unusual for a police officer to be charged so quickly after a shooting. He said there is generally a waiting period while investigators review the evidence.
"There are a couple of reasons why police take their time. First of all, it takes time to develop things like the toxicology report to determine what happened. You have to wait until daylight to reconstruct the crime scene. You have to interview all the people involved. And the officer is given the opportunity to decompress before making a statement," he said.
But police told CBS Charlotte affiliate WBTV, "The fact that Officer Kerrick discharged his weapon and that Mr. Ferrell was unarmed were some of the factors included in the decision to charge Officer Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter."
Police issued a statement saying evidence revealed Kerrick's use of force was excessive and fit the criteria for voluntary manslaughter, the station says, adding, "WBTV has learned that police consulted with prosecutors but it was the police department that decided to file charges. "
WBTV says police tell it that Kerrick was disciplined in December, suspended for a day for an undisclosed infraction.
Ferrell's mother said Kerrick had no business being a police officer if he couldn't react properly to a man who needed help.
"I truly forgive him. I pray for him. And I pray that he gets off the police force," Georgia Ferrell said.
His family painted a picture of a bright man with an "infectious smile" who was always there for his brothers and sisters. "He was a role model," said his brother, Frank. "He had so much love in his heart. And he was always concerned about his family."
"He had dreams of being an automotive engineer. He wanted to design a car from the very last bolt to the interior," his brother said.
He said he didn't know where his brother was going that night, or why he got into the accident. But he said his brother had never been in trouble before.
Several people in the neighborhood where Ferrell went after the crash refused to talk to a reporter Monday. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police car was in one driveway just up the hill from Ferrell's wreck. No one answered the door at that home.
Ferrell was at least the sixth person to be shot by Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers since the start of 2012. Four of them have died.
Charlotte police investigate their own officers involved in shootings. The State Bureau of Investigation can step in if requested, but they haven't been asked to do so in any recent officer-involved shootings.
In the other shootings, prosecutors decided not to charge the officers involved and an independent panel of citizens that investigates the police ruled the shootings were justified.
The shooting needs to bring more scrutiny to the Citizens Review Board so the group simply doesn't assume police officers are always right, said Kojo Nantambu, president of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"No police department is perfect," Nantambu said. "But every time that group investigates, they find nothing wrong."

Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
And in the doubtful war, before he won
The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town;
His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine,
And settled sure succession in his line,
From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
And the long glories of majestic Rome.
[Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit
litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto
vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram,
multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem
inferretque deos Latio; genus unde
Albanique patres atque altae moenia Romae.]
Aeneid Book 1, line 1 (c. 29-19 BC) [tr. Dryden]
Alt trans: "I sing of arms and a man he who, exiled by fate, first came from the coast of Troy to Italy, and to Lavinian shores – hurled about endlessly by land and sea, by the will of the gods, by cruel Juno's remorseless anger, long suffering also in war, until he founded a city and brought his gods to Latium: from that the Latin people came, the lords of Alba Longa, the walls of noble Rome."

Yehuda Levin now recommends that voters write in "the name 'Morality.'"
He is friends with Russell Simmons! Egad!
""I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising one family, and I don't want them brainwashed into thinking that committing adultery and raising two separate secret families is an equally valid and successful option."
But, notably, not Carl Paladino.
This time he says he DOES have evidence of an affair, even though yesterday he said he didn't.
"Part of his campaign has been to mobilize the angry upstate electorate."
With Carl Paladino's win last night, New York Republicans earned themselves an entertaining next few months — but little else.
The man is growing up!
"Some doubt" the strength of his support for LGBT issues.
It's an off-election year, after all. And it's a "priority."
This from the guy who said last month: "The influence of lobbyists and their special interests must be drastically reduced with new contribution limits."
God, doesn't he know that Democrats TALK?
Even Levy's supporters are reportedly "worrying about his momentum."
It could come as early as next week!
The appointment of a close ally to run the party's fall campaigns signals Cuomo's rising power.
Even if you don't know much about what he thinks ... about anything.
Oh, the poor mustache!
He could announce an official run by the end of the week.
