"It was definitely a cool energy," Berg says, with a laugh. "The only con is that it's such a small room, so some fans couldn't get in, and it was pretty cramped."
He laments some notes he knows he missed ("I just would rather we'd come in after playing 12 days straight and not after having taken 12 days off"), some mistakes the band—and likely only the band—noticed as it ran through Country Jam's catalog, three new tracks, and a slew of older songs such as "Long-Haired Tattooed Hippie Freaks" and "The Only Thing She Left Me (Was the Blues)," the latter of which was crammed into a medley alongside classic fan favorites. And, as such, he notes that there's no guarantee that the show will ever make it onto an album—not until the band hears the recording and approves its quality, at least. Still, he knows the fans are eager to see a live disc.
"A long time ago, we recorded a live album at Adair's [Saloon], and we only pressed a small amount of 'em—maybe 2,000 or 2,500 copies," Berg says. "People have still been asking about them."
It may take another recording—maybe in California, Berg says—before there's enough quality-controlled material to merit such a release.
"It's definitely a no-lose situation, though," he says. "Some of it will see the light of day, even if it's just as bonus tracks you can get for free off iTunes or something."
The audience better hope so. It was a sloppy crew in attendance on Saturday; releasing the live recordings would go a long way toward preserving the phenomenal show's memory.

FRIDAY, Feb. 14, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Older women who had their ovaries removed before menopause are at increased risk for bone loss and cardiovascular disease, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at 222 healthy postmenopausal women in the Los Angeles area. Among women who were more than 10 years past menopause, the rate of bone mineral density loss was twice as high in those who'd had their ovaries removed before menopause than in those who still had their ovaries.
The women without ovaries also had more evidence of hardening of the arteries, according to the study published Feb. 14 in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
The researchers at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine noted that the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease are common conditions in women as they grow older, particularly after menopause.
Decreasing levels of hormones affect the severity of both health issues. While hormone levels gradually fall through menopause, they can decline suddenly if a woman's ovaries are removed.
"Most women in the United States having a hysterectomy have their ovaries removed as well as their uterus, even those who do not have increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer," Dr. Rebecca Sokol, acting president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, said in a society news release. "As we learn more about the protective effects the ovaries may exert on bone and cardiovascular health after menopause, this practice could be reconsidered."
Sokol said a physician's careful analysis of a woman's individual risks for cancer, as well as for bone loss, heart disease and stroke, could help her decide whether ovary removal is the best course.

The NYU Langone Medical Center has more about ovary removal.

Gandhi Sixtieth Memorial 30 January 2008
Gandhi National Memorial, Agakhan Palace, Pune
This report of proceedings is offered as a contribution toward the goal of a voluntary free society without the state
Seminar On Gram Swaraj (Village Republics)
Report and Commentary by Jeff Knaebel, 31 January 2008
The writer of this report was among the seminar presenters. He was the last speaker at the Plenary Session. Excerpts from four of the prior speakers are woven into his prepared remarks which are presented in the following commentary.
Thematic Note by the Convener [abridged]
The Surest and Perhaps the Only Solution to Our Impending Catastrophic Global Ecological Crises: Village Swaraj of Gandhi, the Apostle of Truth and Non-violence of our Age.
Neither Gandhiji nor the seers of various great religions would approve the present culture of development of modern western civilization, which has caused disappearance of tens of thousands of plant and animal species and continues to cause greater and greater violence to our life-sustaining natural systems, (in the form of pollution of air, water, land, global warming and climate change, depletion of natural resources (including energy), depletion of ozone layer etc. This has devastating implications for our future generations as well as for entire planetary life in the long run.
Gandhi would not support a culture of development which consumes natural resources for luxuries faster than the earth can replace them, and produces harmful waste material beyond the capacity of man and nature to convert it into useful or harmless material.
Polluting the essential requirements of life such as air, water and land, and destroying forests on which the very survival of biological life depends, and which is the natural storehouse of our invaluable water, topsoil and medicinal plants, for the sake of luxuries is highly immoral. All religions directly or indirectly accept non-violence to be the root of morality and violence to be the root of immorality. They all consider the natural system, which sustains healthy life to be sacred and invaluable. Today science also accepts this, and what we know from science so far only our planet earth has such a natural system.
Gandhi's alternative to modern western form of development is his Village Swaraj, a non-violent form of development, the core of which essentially consists of villages with a critical ethical culture of Truth and non-violence.
"My idea of Village Swaraj is that it is a complete republic, independent of its neighbors for its vital wants, and yet interdependent for many others in which dependence is a necessity…..The government of the village will be conducted by the Panchayat of five persons, annually elected by the adult villagers, male and female, possessing minimum prescribed qualifications… Since there will be no system of punishments in the accepted sense, this panchayat will be the legislature, judiciary and executive combined to operate for its year of office…..
"Here there is perfect democracy based on individual freedom. The individual is the architect of his own government. The law of non-violence rules him and his government. He and his village are able to defy the might of a world. For the law governing every villager is that he will suffer death in the defense of his and his village's honor.
"The contrast between the rich and the poor today is a painful sight. The poor villagers are exploited by the foreign government and also by their own countrymen- city-dwellers. They produce the food and go hungry. They produce milk and their children have to go without it. It is disgraceful.
"A violent and bloody revolution is a certainty one day unless there is a voluntary abdication of riches and the power that riches give, and sharing them for the common good."
It is surely highly deplorable that even sixty years after our country' independence even when our GDP growth is very high, our farmers are committing suicide in large numbers…Although India is a land of morality and religions and of many great moral and spiritual teachers, under the influence of modern western civilization, they have even excluded ethics education from our education curricula.
How could people build ethically good life and good society without critical study of ethics?
Even if it would be possible to have an affluent, eco-friendly technological society with, Gandhiji would not consider such a society to be ideal. It is his firm conviction that willing obedience to the law of body-labor brings contentment and health.
Although Gandhiji's ideal life is an enlightened unselfish ethical life of plain living and high thinking, it is absolutely voluntary. He would not approve anyone to be forced to lead a simple life.
"Man's happiness really lies in contentment. He who is discontented, however much he possesses, becomes a slave to his desires….. The incessant search for material comforts and their multiplication is an evil. I make bold to say that the Europeans will have to remodel their outlook, if they are not to perish under the weight of the comforts to which they are becoming slaves…
"A time is coming when those who are in mad rush today of multiplying their wants, will retrace their steps and say; what we have done?…. A certain degree of physical harmony and comfort is necessary, but above a certain level it becomes hindrance instead of help. Therefore the ideal of creating an unlimited number of wants and satisfying them seems to be a delusion and snare."
It was his firm conviction that in the materialization of his vision lay the true freedom of India, and through India of the world at large.
Unlike the explicit human-centric ethics of modern western civilization, the ethics of classical Indian civilization has been explicitly life-centric. [Emphasis added. This ethics is also found among indigenous peoples in many other cultures — Ed.]
The great teachers and seers of our ancient Indian civilization explicitly accept universal non-violence, i.e. non-violence to both human and non-human life, to be the foundation of ethics. They see clearly that enlightened selfless ethical life of love constitutes the core of Truth, and pursuit of selfless ethical life of universal love constitutes the core of its means.
"It is arrogant to say that human beings are lords and masters of the lower creatures. On the contrary, being endowed with great things in life, they are the trustees of the lower animal kingdom."
Gandhiji sees clearly that Western industrialism has two choices: "First it can wait until catastrophic failures expose systematic deficiencies, distortion and self-deception….Secondly, a culture can provide social checks and balances to correct for systematic distortion prior to catastrophic failures…"
[Editor: it is obvious that we have chosen a path which leads not only to socio-economic catastrophe, but also to ecological cataclysm. Perhaps they will occur together].
Is not the Gandhian alternative the surest and perhaps the only solution to save our planet earth from its Impending Catastrophic Global Ecological Crisis? Let us examine it deeply before it is too late.

Presentation of Jeff Knaebel, with excerpts from others
The purpose of this commentary is to offer a written summary of the presentation made by me at the Seminar on Village Swaraj (Village Self-Rule), together with excerpts of other presentations that are relevant to the aim of establishing a Society without State. The full list of speakers is shown following the text. I was the last speaker during the Plenary Session.
The problems faced by humanity — ranging from hunger, poverty, an epidemic of Indian farmer suicides, ecological destruction, pervasive pollution, systemic corruption, unsafe food, communal violence, endless war, the imminent extinction of plants and animals that have been our cohorts across untold millennia— indeed an endless list of travails — have been skillfully stated by speakers more astute than me. The solution of Village Swaraj — independent self-sufficient Village Republics in lieu of the present international structure — has been clearly propounded.
It seems akin to a team of doctors describing symptoms of a terminal disease and offering a material level treatment. All have agreed that a mark of the human is to rise above the brutal.
Long ago in my life, a Comanche medicine man told me that "the longest journey for the white man is from the head to the heart." He meant, in part, the difficulty of integrating wisdom into the heart of compassionate action. I ask you to examine whether — these excellent presentations notwithstanding — the work of Anna Hazare is most exemplary for leaving footprints on the path of action. Across a span of decades of hard work, Anna Hazare has built up at Ralgaon Siddhi a model village of international reputation. Theorists write papers about those who have acted. Example is the first and last precept of leadership.
I submit that our problem is:
- Either too simple for technically educated, media-conditioned minds to understand,
- Or, we willfully refuse to understand,
- Or, science has made us so arrogant that we think we don't need to understand.
It is obvious that industrial civilization is destroying the planet. A food chain so polluted, so poisoned that mother's breast milk is labeled as toxic, suffices as a tragic summary.
A human species in possession of its senses would not deliberately destroy its own biological life supporting ecology. We are suffering from an infectious disease of the mind that has become pandemic. Professor Jack Forbes (UCal) has called it "wetiko," the disease of cannibalism.
Anna Hazare: To implement Swaraj (self rule), we must build self-reliant, self-sufficient, and self-sustainable villages. To develop the villages, we must develop the mind. We cannot develop the mind by sending our children to government schools. They return to us without common sense. Public education promotes competition instead of cooperation, and technology instead of wisdom. We must impart vidyan (knowledge) and gyan (wisdom) together. [Editor: I have noticed that "uneducated" rural Indians have better memories and extemporaneous speaking abilities than those of us educated through books and machines]. The village must be our Mandir (temple of worship). We must serve and respect it. To change the village, we must change the man.
Dr. Narendra Jadav: We are forgetting that a code of ethics was foundation and frame of Mahatma Gandhi's thought, and his models. His model of Village Republic was based upon a unitary Legislative-Executive-Judicial function in the hands of elected village elders who were known to have committed their lives to the defense of sacred honor even unto death. A far cry from the festering swamp of corruption that is national politics today. Although India is ranked as the second fastest growing economy in the world, we are in the bottom ten percent of the United Nations Human Development Index. Corruption in government is the major culprit.
Anna Hazare: Leadership must be based upon pure thinking, the moral life, and sacrifice. "At the age of 24 I was considering suicide. Only after I committed my life to the service of others did it acquire meaning." A seed must die in the earth before it comes to life. Real charity is to give of ourselves.
It is no use to talk of India's achievement as the second fastest growing economy in the world [referring to remarks of Narendra Jadav]. We should speak of human happiness, not statistics of economic growth. Our village people are hungry — children go to sleep hungry — how to talk of educating a hungry man? First let him have the means to grow food. Our buildings are growing higher and higher, all the while our minds sink lower.
We sons of the soil must be like the grass, bending when the river floods over us, and standing again when the storm has passed. The only constant is change. This too shall pass.
Dr. Kumar Saptrishi: Globalization and its fall-out have made urgent the necessary adoption of Gandhi's ideas of decentralization. Corruption is reduced in small social units. There is no brotherhood in large, anonymous organizations. However, it is useless to speak of the empowerment of villages unless the caste system [social violence] is eradicated.
The western religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam are based upon a philosophy of man's domination over nature. These structures evolve from the perceived need to control nature. [From this alienated construct arises a mind prone to violence]. Indian religions and philosophies are grounded in Ahimsa, nonviolence.
Knaebel continues…
We are being killed by allowing corporations and the State to kill our planet. Corporate State Fascism is killing the earth. It Must Go. The Nation State system is beyond reform. It Must Go.
The Mere Existence of the Nation State — conceived in and maintained by violence — is an assault on the human spirit.
Seventeen years ago years ago, at a conference similar to this in Northern Mexico, I made a decision of permanent exile from my nation. A Tarahumara elder from the Sierra Occidental had spoken to this conference on a project financed by the World Bank to cut the last virgin old growth forest of his tribe's mountain homeland. He had held up a trash magazine and said that when you have cut all our trees to make this, my people will die, and your people will read these things.
The Gulf war of Bush the Elder was raining death from the sky. Everywhere industrial civilization was killing and destroying, consuming and exploiting.
I asked myself: does my government murder? Do I finance its murder? Answers: Yes, and yes, my taxes finance murder. Am I therefore an accomplice to murder?
I chose exile, sold everything, and left.
I am not American. Not Indian. Not Mexican, nor Russian. I am a human being.
Owe no loyalty to any Nation State. All are criminal political operations. They bomb, murder, destroy, oppress and exploit. I submit that the Indian State is a British abstraction which bears no resemblance to India as a human civilization.
The best hope for human species survival is worldwide Village Swaraj — the independent self-sufficient Village Republics envisioned by Mohandas Gandhi. Without this, or something close, we will destroy the earth and humanity. If the villages of India cannot survive, humanity cannot survive.
How Did We Get Here?
Biological man must work with the natural resources of earth to sustain his life. Direct work is termed the "economic means." Taking the produce of others by force has been termed the "political means." The State is the organization of the political means, by which violence and force are given the cloak of moral legitimacy.
The modern State is controlled by corporations. Corporations are inhuman legal constructs whose design code is to generate monetary profit for its owning shareholders. For the corporation there is no humanity and no society, except as they provide an arena or means for profit.
The Powers That Be who control both Corporation and State are shielded from the consequences of their actions by the legal constructs of limited liability and Sovereign Immunity. These people remain largely anonymous and essentially unaccountable. They are protected from retribution of even heinous crimes against humanity by the power the gun, wielded by agents of the State, who are accepted by society as "legalized" murderers. The real decision-makers of world affairs are behind the scenes, unknown and unknowable to the public.
Shielded by sovereign immunity, these men are allowed act out their drives for power and domination in an irresponsible manner, without concern for personal accountability.
Through complex psychological and social dynamics that I have yet to understand, we have placed ourselves in voluntary servitude to this institutional system. Which means — in a nutshell — that we have surrendered control over our own lives, and the destiny of this planet, into the hands of perhaps a few hundred sociopathic egomaniacs.
Somehow we allowed ourselves to become mentally and morally numbed by the unending barrage of symbols, propaganda and spin promulgated by the Established Money Power.
There is now erupting an exponentially exploding and intertwined virus of mindlessly used technology, industrialization, and population growth which will soon u2018go critical.' Globalization has operated to substitute economic activity and its relentless and directionless growth for any other measure of human dignity, purpose, and happiness. (Cruttwell, 1995).
We have it upside down and backwards. Far from being our savior, technology is our mortal enemy, acting as a graveyard spiral with never-ending promises to save us from the never-ending problems that it has itself created. Technology simply puts ever-more powerful tools and weapons into the hands of the egomaniacs that control human affairs.
The Consequences
I want to share with you the following communication which has come from V.K. Desai for contribution to this seminar.
I live in Rajkot, a city of Mahatma Gandhi, but now nothing special and turned into highly industrialized city with nowhere Gandhi except his home as monument in busy business street.
In radius of around 200km from Rajkot, 5000 villages are situated in which life style still exists somewhat similar to what you want to create. Seventy five percent of the village people are farmers having their own land, cultivating groundnut, cotton, wheat, pulses, grain etc but never tobacco or harmful crop, not even exception in one acre. Village structure is more or less the skeleton of a moral, cooperative, self-reliant, self-employed society, but villagers do not know its significance. Here I can see your concept materialized to some extent.
But Government is breaking it very fast by heavily taxing it, exploiting it, snatching away their lands forcefully and illegally, whenever and wherever required by big industrialists, forcing them to tempt for city life through TV, making them into addict for tobacco vices for the interests of tobacco industries and spoiling them by every possible way. Almost entire population (10 million) is vegetarian with a few exceptions. Small farmers till their land by bullocks and big ones by tractors. Cows are vanishing very fast due to slaughter houses for meat export. Our people have never seen meat. So much merciful are they, if women just happen to see meat, many of them become unconscious by shock. This year, rainfall was very much and so everywhere there is widespread happiness, no poverty, no hunger anywhere. There is prohibition by law. So no alcoholic drinks anywhere.
We are very much concerned how to save our villages, how to make better living conditions, how to rid them of fertilizers and pesticides and stop their exploitation which Government is heavily promoting as our biggest enemy. Many people are trying, but rush and attraction for modern life style is so much presented in TV that our efforts are of no use. Yesterday I was in a village in public meeting for such purpose.

We have ended up in the situation foretold by Gandhi, and against which he devoted his life. Our land base is rapidly nearing total destruction. Without a land base — fertile soil, vegetation, forest, water and clean air — we cannot survive. Any species, in order to survive, must enhance both itself and its environment. No species is independent of its ecology. They are bound together.
The Solution
There are two clearly definable and interconnected "enemies."
- External: The Money Power, acting through the Central Bankers and using the "iron triangle" of military-industrial-political complex.
- Internal: Our own mind. The frontier of the battle for human survival is consciousness itself.
- The interconnection: much of human consciousness is now manipulated or outright controlled by the Money Power acting through corporations, media and State.
I conceptualize Gandhiji's method as a cart with two wheels, pulled by the power of Ahimsa and Truth. One wheel is Resistance and the other is a Positive Constructive Program. It has been my personal experience as an activist that without both wheels, one loses his mental balance. An unbroken regime of resistance leads to the burn out which results from dryness and lack of loving expression. A Constructive Program without resistance leads to a sense of futility and resignation that no amount of effort will change the system.
"Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the State becomes lawless and corrupt."
~ MK Gandhi (DG Tendulkar, 1960, Publications Division, Government of India)
"Individual civil disobedience is everybody's inherent right, like the right of self-defense in normal life." ~ MK Gandhi (Epigrams From Gandhiji, 1971, Publications Division, Government of India)
Are we there yet — that is, into lawlessness and corruption? We can read the answer every day in the newspapers, endlessly. It churns the guts with shame to be human.
- Fight to defend our land base from corporate exploitation. Form Direct Action Defense committees (DAD).
- Treat corporate land expropriation — acting behind the State's shield of Eminent Domain — as you would a foreign invading enemy taking your land, and thus your life.
- Defend your land as you would life, by whatever means necessary.
- Help others to defend their land.
- Boycott corporate products, especially non-essential luxuries. Support local artisans.
- Refusal of taxes. Refusal of voting. Withdraw from institutional participation.
- Ignore the State. Become self-sufficient. Refuse its services. Don't give it energy.
- We need not bow down to these forces of destruction and death.
- Moral education. Gandhi said it is necessary to defend honor unto death.
- Ecological education by right livelihood example.
- The Anna Hazare model demonstrated by his work at Ralgaon Siddhi. There are others also.
- Self Restraint and Self-Reliance.
- Selfless service to others without expectation of reward or results.
Personal choice
- Be part of the problem: support corporations with purchases of fancy things at the malls of mindlessness. Things designed in the wake of artificially created "needs" in order to temporarily satisfy desires that the advertising media intends to make insatiable.
- Be part of the solution: by self-restraint, self-denial, boycott, resistance, tax refusal, and protest.
- Village Swaraj is the last best chance for the survival of humanity. Support it with actions.
Complete non-violence today would mean acquiescence in systematic destruction of the whole earth, and thus all of humanity with it. Some situations demand that we defend our land, our right to livelihood, and our lives with violent defensive action.
Direct Action Today, I feel, however, is best expressed in self-restraint, in the quiet refusal to buy corporate products, in boycott, in self-reliance and in tax refusal, in refusal to report for combat in aggressive war, in refusal to accept corporate and government media propaganda as truth.
Direct Action Today is in cleansing our minds of the falsehoods that have led us to believe that money, and position, and power have any meaning whatsoever. We are committing suicide because we have given meaning to these falsehoods and are allowing them to control our lives.
For Nonviolent Direct Action Today to succeed, I feel that there must be some among us who have the courage and the will for violent defense of their rights, such as those at Nandigram and Sirur, and the heroic women of Chiapas, and the bravest of Seattle 1999. These brave ones among us must have not only the will, but the means and the proven ability to execute. Nonviolence cannot succeed where the Money Power thinks that it can walk over us with consequence no greater than muddy feet.
Unfortunately, for nonviolence to succeed in the political arena, there must be blood on the hands of the guilty — blood that the nonviolent can point to, and that may prick the conscience of the aggressor.
Gandhi on 22 March 1922: "The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still small voice within. And even though I have to face the prospect to a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority that to me is the only truthful position."
~ Romain Rolland (Mahatma Gandhi — The Man Who Became One With The Universal)
The last quote of Mohandas Gandhi above is a theme that this website at www.freeofstate.org has been emphasizing again and again:
That representative "liberal democracy" is a falsehood and a sham. It is simply not possible for one person to u2018represent' the conscience of another. Gandhi will accept only the authority of the "still small voice" within himself.
The Money Power, bloated as they are on blood money, must not be permitted to cast secret ballots from safe positions and comfortable seats in controlled environment buildings. Those who would make war must not be allowed to do so by vote to spill another's blood. They must put themselves in harm's way and meet their so-called enemy face to face in mortal combat. Among those who may return, few will be inclined to give great orations on the consecration of the corpses littering a trampled field of mayhem and death.
May you live long and live free and succeed in the quest for peace.

.- Sources close to the Holy See said this week Pope Benedict XVI, who began a 17-day vacation on Monday in the Italian Alps, might take advantage of the brief time away from the Vatican to begin writing his first encyclical. Vatican Radio quoted today the Italian Catholic newspaper "Avvenire" saying that the Pontiff has been working on the draft of his first encyclical "for weeks" and that he plans to finish it during this 18-day long vacation.
The Holy Father will stay at the same chalet in the village of Les Combes where John Paul II often vacationed. He arrived at the isolated chalet with three suitcases full of books, leading to speculation that he may spend much of his time drafting the first encyclical letter of his Pontificate.
The Bishop of the diocese of Aosta, Giuseppe Anfossi, said today that Pope Benedict XVI has chosen "a more private, quiet period of time, with less walks and more reading."

A recent decision by the Mesa City Council will allow the City of Mesa to use eminent domain to procure property for the light rail project if other means of negotiations with the property owners fail.
Approved during the council's July 8 meeting, the resolution opens the door for city staff to purchase properties as part of the Central Mesa Light Rail Extension Project through eminent domain if, as mayor Scott Smith noted, "all other options are exhausted."
"It's a very complex and very large process, which is why we have had a lot of different groups involved," said City of Mesa's communications director Steven Wright.
According to documents attached to the meeting agenda, the project will extend the light rail from Sycamore Station to Edgemont Street east of Hobson Street, along Main Street and through downtown Mesa. The city needs to acquire a total of 122 properties to move forward with the project, with many of the parcels going to road widening, irrigation and utility relocation or improvement.
In an interview after the meeting, deputy city manager Karolyn Kent said the city has been "very successful" in its bid to purchase the parcels — she said 106 of those properties are currently in escrow — but it has run into difficulties negotiating with some of the property owners. The issues differ: some of the owners haven't been in consistent contact with the city, while the process to finalize the agreement with another owner has gone slower than anticipated — but the overriding factor is a delay in the purchasing process. Real estate services administrator Kim Fallbeck said getting the council's approval is the first step toward the eminent domain process.
If negotiations break down, Fallbeck said the next steps include bringing the issue in front of a judge and an appraiser through a mediation hearing in order to find what is deemed a "just compensation" for the land. That dollar amount would be the one used to purchase the property by the Mesa city government if the two sides cannot reach an agreement through negotiation, and the entire process can take several months to complete. "Our top priority is to negotiate a purchase price … that's the ultimate goal," Kent said.
One of the motivations for the city's request to use eminent domain, which Kent, Fallbeck and Wright emphasized repeatedly is a last resort, is the time frame for the extension project. Although Kent said she wasn't sure of precisely when the construction would start, a letter sent to property owners informing them of the council's work indicated Valley Metro had a July-through-September window it wanted to start widening the streets along the rail.
Although the type of project isn't necessarily a determining factor in the use of eminent domain, Kent said the light rail extension is a "huge economic development driver" for the city and the areas, especially some of the college campuses the line would affect.
"With this opportunity, it's just another way for our community to thrive," she said.

Rhubarb: It's Not Just For Pie Anymore
There are two things we all seem to know about rhubarb – it grows and grows, and you can make pies with it. But there's a world of rhubarb that goes beyond the (admittedly delicious) pie - in fact, it's a hot commodity among bartenders, who are mixing up cocktails and other tangy rhubarb-based beverages. And bakers might like to try a rhubarb upside-down cake.
To learn more, we turn to Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl. She wrote about rhubarb recently for Saveur Magazine; she's also a senior editor at Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine. She talks with All Things Considered host Brady Carlson.

Many people believe that they do not have to prioritize dental health, and that if they miss regular check-ups with dentists then it will not have serious consequences. This is not the case, however, as oral hygiene experts from Eludril and Elgydium in the UK warn that missing dental appointments can potentially lead to serious gum diseases.A British Dental Health Association study in 2009 found that many people are not following-up with oral issues because they are concerned about the cost. In the U.S., there are many affordable dental plans that can help ensure that everyone receives the care they need."Missing dental check-ups is a false economy that will lead only to the need for more serious and expensive treatment for dental cavities and the effects of gum disease," said a spokesperson for Eludril and Elgydium.Plaque and tartar, when not regularly examined, can lead to swollen gums, the first sign of a potentially serious dental health issue. The experts urged individuals to pay proper attention to oral care, and to try and visit their dentist often.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

ELIZABETHTOWN – The Hardin County Judicial Center was at capacity Wednesday morning as jury selection in the high-profile, highly publicized murder case against Brent Burke began.
Burke is charged with the September 2007 murders of his estranged wife, Tracy, and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, at Comer's La Vista subdivision home in Rineyville.
Burke's estranged wife was living with parents of her ex-husband since filing for divorce from Burke in May 2007.
The following marriage dissolutions have been granted in Hardin Circuit Court in Elizabethtown.
Dennis W. Meredith, 59, and Raymonde Vincent, 59, both of Elizabethtown. Married 33 years.
Gara Smith, 65, and Pamela G. Shaw, 60, both of Elizabethtown. Married 21 years.
William Wesson, 53, Radcliff, and Doris Ann Daebelliehn, 50, Commerce, Colo. Married five years.

As a woman, I am constantly bombarded with images that tell me how to be the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect size, the perfect everything. But is there really such a thing?
From as young as 5 years old I can remember having body issues. I was never the right size and I always felt like I should be smaller. My whole life I've wanted to be smaller. And it's hard to admit that.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — University of Alabama senior defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, a former Elizabethtown High School standout, was hospitalized in good condition Tuesday after being shot in the arm during an apparent robbery attempt at an off-campus apartment complex.
Brad Fisher, a spokesman for DCH Regional Medical Center, said the 6-foot-4, 306-pound Deaderick was in a regular room and likely would be released within a day.
"It's not life threatening," said Fisher. The bullet missed vital areas, he said.

Primula vulgaris
Common Primrose, English Primrose
Most primroses are native to the Himalayas and cool regions of southeast Asia and Europe. The plants form a foliage rosette; at bloom time, typically circular, sometimes fragrant flowers with five petals rise above the leaves. The petals usually overlap and are often indented at the apex, sometimes so deeply that each flower appears to have ten parts. Blossoms may be borne on individual stems, in clusters at stem ends, or in tiered, candelabra-like clusters along the stem.
Most primroses are spring blooming, but some start flowering in mid- to late winter in mild climates, and a few bloom in early summer. Some go dormant in late fall or winter; mark their location before they disappear.
Nearly all are good plants for the woodland garden.Primula vulgaris
Grows to 8 in high and 1 ft. wide. Leaves are much like those of polyanthus primrose. Evergreen in milder climates. Borne singly; vigorous garden strains often bear 2 or 3 per stem. Flowers are white, yellow, red, blue, brown, bronze, or wine colored. Early spring. Good in woodland gardens, as edging, or in containers.
Geranium himalayense 'Gravetye'
Dependable selection typical of the species.

Condé Nast Sells Fairchild Fashion Media to Penske for $100 Million
Second major move in the last week for Condé Nast.
Condé Nast is selling its Fairchild Fashion Media group to Penske Media.
The deal is reportedly for around $100 million, according to the New York Times, and is expected to close in September.
FFM's portfolio includes B2B titles Women's Wear Daily, Footwear News, Beauty Inc. and the Fairchild Summits, though FFM's two consumer-facing brands, Style.com and NowManifest, will stay with Condé Nast.
Gina Sanders, FFM's president and CEO since 2010, is also remaining with Condé Nast parent company, Advance Publications, in an unannounced capacity. The rest of the staff will be moving to Penske.
The FFM sale is Condé Nast's second major change to its fashion portfolio in the last week. The company recently announced it is spinning off its Lucky brand into a new joint venture in collaboration with e-commerce platform, Beachmint—a move Condé Nast President, Bob Sauerberg, told the Wall Street Journal was "the first in a series of initiatives we are undertaking as we re-engineer our organization."
The company's CEO, Charles Townsend, echoes Sauerberg's comments in his own statement on the FFM sale.
"Today's announcement reflects our strategy of investing resources in our core consumer brands," he says.
For Penske, the purchase is their first major M&A move since buying Variety from Reed Elsevier in 2012 for $25 million.

2010 Volvo C30 R-Design 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
I bought my 2010 C30 R Design (automatic) at the very end of the sales year. It's the "classic style" before they changed the look of the front end. I'm very satisfied with the performance and reliability. I have over 52,000 on mine without any problems to speak of.
This is a great, fun to drive car that's a head-turner. I would suggest that you stay away from the light colored leather seats that wear poorly.

2010 Volvo C30 T5 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
My 2nd Volvo, other is a 2001 s60, and am very pleased.
Purchased the base model in Feb of 2009, and for some reason dealer took 6k of the sticker price.
Love the car, drives great and is very fun to drive around town.
The 5 speed auto is very smooth however when I want to have better performance I use the auto shift feature which manually controls the shifting.
Car has all the options I would want, iPhone and Bluetooth work without issues.
I have 5K miles on it and have had no issues. Highly recommend this to anyone considering a mini, which is more expensive and smaller.

2010 Volvo C30 T5 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
I am a big fan of the Ford C1 platform. Prior to my C30, I owned an 04 Mazda 3s; I loved it. But as much as I did, it pales in comparison to the C30. It is more comfortable and more solid with a more powerful and responsive engine. Other than the wind noise coming from the side mirrors, the cockpit is quiet-isolating the road noise and allowing the driver to hear that throaty growl when the foot presses to the floor. The automatic transmission is smooth- though I've only used the manual shift feature once. The only problem here is that 227 hp driving front wheels can sometimes make the tires slip- with heavy acceleration like pulling out into traffic. The GTI doesn't have this issue.

2010 Volvo C30 T5 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
I am really impressed with my C30. It has the 6-speed, climate package, and sunroof. It handles well in snow and rain so far. I am averaging 28 mpg between highway and small town driving. I took it on a 2000+ mile road trip, and even with all the time in the seat, both my husband and I were comfortable. It does great in mountains, in 6th gear you can still accelerate going up hill w/o having to downshift. Everyone that sees it loves it. I have a 2010 with the previous style headlights (leftover from last year). I like that style better though so I was glad when I found one! Mine has the off black interior and the metallic titanium paint, and it looks great in that color!

2010 Volvo C30 R-Design 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
I've had scores of cars through the years, from Lexus, Infinit, Porsche, BMW, Audi and others. I have gotten more favorable comments about the C30 than any car I've owned. It's a sort of cult classic already. Fun to drive, great for urban transport, I can even take adults in back without apologizing. I've had it for 6 months and really love this car.

2010 Volvo C30 R-Design 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
Got one of the last 2010's with the old front design. Love the car. Ride is stiff but not as stiff as my old 07 GTI. Engine is strong and satisfying, got it with a 6spd manual. Interior materials are really nice, but a little rattly (more so than girlfriends S40). Stereo and navi are superb, and everyone looks at it on the road...really unique!! No reliability issues so far, the car has a decent exhaust note, and it actually handles really well!! The seats are superb and they look great with the contrast stitching. I found the car to be sluggish with the automatic but quite powerful with the manual trans. Would buy it again if I had to do it all over.

2010 Volvo C30 T5 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
We test drove a Mazda 3, Nissan Altima, and Mini Cooper S with the C- 30 as the spoiler. We found the Mini to ride HARD, have severely limited visibility, weird pedal placement, cramped, found the center speedo and other quirks just too annoying, and we know someone who sold theirs because it was too scary in the snow. We found the C-30 to be in a class by itself - a highly refined vehicle for an amazingly reasonable price. Fast, fun, engaging, safe, this purchase ended up being a no-brainer. Only downside is that Volvo dealerships don't appear to be too willing to deal. (Same w/Mini.) A LOT of car for the money. This vehicle is a class leader. See for yourself. We're very happy.

An Oregon Artist We Love
Painter Pam Greene finds inspiration in the Pacific Northwest. Click through a slide show of her work.
When Pam moved to Oregon from San Francisco, she worried about adapting her landscape style to different scenery. Eventually she came to love the Pacific Northwest's rugged beauty. Just steps from her living room door, Pam painted this view. It focuses on a Sitka spruce tree, 45 inches in diameter, in her yard.
From her studio on a less-than-1-acre shelf above Manzanita Beach, Pam can see the sun rise in one direction and set in the other. She painted this view from an overlook a few minutes from her house. The hills of Manzanita compose the foreground, while the twin rocks of Rockaway Beach and Oceanside's monoliths fill the distance.
On a bright November day in Oswald West State Park, Pam painted this basalt formation surrounded by water that was unusually turquoise for late fall.
After wandering off the main trail at Oswald West State Park and feeling lost, Pam discovered a hidden cove and snapped a photograph. Back in her studio, she used the cliffside image to create this painting.
During the construction of Pam's house, designer Jimmy Onstott and his family allowed her to paint from their house and to dry oil paintings in their garage. She captured this view from the Onstott's lawn.
The glow on this driftwood-laden beach near Pam's house occurs about 10 minutes before sunset.
Pam began this piece during our Coastal Living photo shoot. She completed the painting in the morning light, which illuminates the cliffs of Neahkahnie Mountain.
