Polyglot Systems Licenses Meducation® Software To The University Of Connecticut Health Center To Improve Medication Adherence And Patient Satisfaction
MORRISVILLE, N.C., Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Polyglot Systems, Inc. has licensed its Meducation® software to the University of Connecticut Health Center for use in its John Dempsey Hospital and 24 other facilities. The software is designed to improve medication adherence and patient satisfaction by improving the way in which medication instructions are communicated.
"Approximately 1 in every 3 Americans is considered low-health literate or has limited English proficiency," said Sims Preston, Polyglot's CEO. "It is critical that these patients understand how to take their medications," he added. "Poor adherence to medication instructions has been associated with over 100,000 deaths annually, increased hospitalization rates and hundreds of billions of dollars in avoidable healthcare costs."
Developed under a grant from the National Institutes of Health, Polyglot's Meducation® software generates medication instructions that are easy for every patient to understand, even those that are low health literate or limited English proficient. Instructions are written at a 5 th to 6 th grade reading level in any of sixteen languages, can be printed in large fonts for those with impaired vision and use pictograms to convey information clearly. For certain especially hard to use medications, Meducation allows patients to access on-line videos demonstrating proper medication use.
In addition to improving medication adherence, Polyglot contends that Meducation can improve patient satisfaction. "Effective communication has been identified by providers and payers as a key driver of patient satisfaction," stated Preston."The University of Connecticut Health Center serves a diverse population and it is committed to providing patient-centered care to all of its patients," said Wendy Miller, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine. "Adopting a tool like Meducation is consistent with that commitment." About the University of Connecticut Health Center The University of Connecticut Health Center includes the schools of medicine and dental medicine, the UConn Medical Group, University Dentists, and John Dempsey Hospital. Home to Bioscience Connecticut, the Health Center pursues a mission of providing outstanding health care education in an environment of exemplary patient care, research and public service.

Drumming noises? Holes in your wood siding? Woodpeckers pecking and damaging your house? These sounds and damage may well be due to woodpeckers. Call your local Critter Control office today at 800 CRITTER for effective prevention of woodpecker damage.
How To Identify Woodpecker Problems
Woodpecker Description
Woodpeckers are found throughout the United States and are fairly common in areas near people. The three most widely distributed species are the hairy woodpecker, the downy woodpecker, and the yellow-bellied sapsucker. Different species are responsible for damage in different regions. Woodpeckers are notorious for their strong pointed beak that is used to penetrate wood in search of insects and hollow out wood for nesting.
Woodpecker Habitats
Because they are dependent on trees for shelter and food, woodpeckers are found mostly in or on the edge of wooded areas. They nest in cavities chiseled into tree trunks, branches, or structures, or use natural or preexisting cavities. Many species nest in human-made structures, and have thus extended their habitat to include wooden fence posts, utility poles, and buildings. Because of this, woodpeckers may be found in localities where trees are scarce in the immediate vicinity.
Woodpecker Entry
Woodpeckers often cause damage to building exteriors in search of food or shelter. Drumming causes little damage other than possible paint removal on metal surfaces; however, the noise can often be heard throughout the house and becomes quite annoying. Drumming is predominantly a springtime activity. They often include metal surfaces such as metal gutters, downspouts, chimney caps, TV antennas, rooftop plumbing vents, and metal roof valleys. Drumming may occur a number of times during a single day and the activity may go on for some days or months. Our woodpecker removal professionals will assess the problem and take the necessary steps to not only humanely remove the woodpecker or woodpeckers from your home or building but also repair damaged areas and reduce the possibility of future woodpecker problems.
What To Do Before The Woodpecker Removal Specialist Arrives
Woodpecker Control and Safety
Woodpeckers are classified as migratory, nongame birds and are protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Woodpeckers are not dangerous animals, however, if you are able to identify with certainty that you have woodpeckers near your home we recommend that you contact your local Critter Control office and take a few steps to prepare for the technician's arrival. You should be able to identify the general area of the home or building that the woodpeckers are drilling. This will be helpful for the woodpecker removal technician.
Contact a Critter Control Woodpecker Specialist
Woodpecker removal and professional woodpecker prevention services should be contacted as soon as a woodpecker issue is identified. Call 1‐800‐CRITTER (274‐8837)
What To Expect Once A Woodpecker Technician Arrives
Woodpecker Trapping and Removal
Critter Control Technicians are Certified Wildlife Specialists, with the knowledge and tools to get rid of your woodpecker problem. Critter Control offices practice humane woodpecker removal techniques that ensure the safe capture and release of the nuisance animals.
Woodpecker Damage
Damage to buildings may take one of several forms. Holes may be drilled into wood siding, eaves, window frames and trim boards. Woodpeckers prefer cedar and redwood siding, but will damage pine, fir, cypress, and others when choices are limited. Natural or stained wood surfaces are preferred over painted wood, and newer houses in an area are often primary targets. Your Critter Control technician will assess the damage caused by the nuisance woodpeckers and provide solutions not only for repairing the damaged area but will also present a strategy to help prevent future woodpecker problems. The sooner these issues are handled and addressed by our woodpecker removal expert, the lower the overall cost. Don't wait to call Critter Control if you have woodpecker problems!
Critter Control of Portland provides Animal Damage Control for the following cities: Aloha, Battle Ground, Beaverton, Camus, Cornelius, Damascus, Fairview, Forest Grove, Gladstone, Gresham, Happy Valley, Hillsboro, King City, La Center, Lake Oswego, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, North Plains, Oregon City, Portland, Ridgefield, Sherwood, Tigard, Troutdale, Tualatin, Vancouver, Washougal, West Linn, Wilsonville, Wood Village

Marvel and DC: Recognising Progress Doesn't Ignore The Fake Sound Of It
The world of superheroes is a funny old place, home to some of the craziest and most imaginative storytelling of the last century, but eternally trapped in a constantly regressive rut. Long time fans simultaneously demand change and uniformity, for heroes to evolve and remain the same age forever more.
This month Marvel announced three key upcoming changes in its comics line, which was met with familiar outrage and increasing mainstream press interest towards this medium that has given the public their favourite superhero movies. But what was most interesting to many onlookers were not the announcements themselves, but the chosen method of broadcast.
The View, a US daytime talk show, exclusively announced that Thor was to be female in an upcoming title. "It's a huge day in the Marvel Universe," revealed Whoopi Goldberg. "Thor, the God of Thunder, he messed up. He is no longer worthy to hold that damn hammer of his. And for the first time in history that hammer is being held by a woman."
The Independent on Sunday – Review of Sally Heathcote: Suffragette By Mary Talbot, Kate Charlesworth, and Bryan Talbot
The highly anticipated second graphic novel from Costa winners Mary and Bryan Talbot hit the shelves this week, this time with Kate Charlesworth providing art duties, and Bryan having designed the layouts. The Independent on Sunday chose the title as their leading book review.
Mary's first graphic novel, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, was a biographical affair and Sally Heathcote: Suffragette keeps that historical background while introducing a fictional lead character to move through the events of suffrage and the fight for the women's vote, providing a grounding point for the reader.
It is a brilliant work of art and a fascinating (and meticulously researched) insight to the complexities of the suffrage movement in the UK - hopefully my review will help convince more people to read it!
SciFiNow: Interview with Kelly Sue DeConnick
A great interview with Kelly Sue DeConnick, a look at the return of Captain Marvel, and chatting about the popularity of the Carol Corps.
The crazily busy writer was kind enough to give up some of her time to answer some questions on all things Carol Danvers as the character makes her spectacular cosmic return!

The Guardian: Comic and graphic novel stars take over Kendal for new festival showcase
A new piece up on The Guardian, where I have a chat with superb creators Posy Simmonds, Katie Green, Isabel Greenberg, and Kate Charlesworth ahead of this weekend's Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal.
We look at why they picked the comics medium, the subversive and communicative powers of comics, and how things have changed - and remained the same - for women creators across the decades.
Long-time Guardian favourite and multiple award-winner Posy Simmonds is one such guest, a prolific artist who has been drawing comics since she was a little girl. Her collection last year, Mrs Weber's Omnibus, brought together her long-running strips for the Guardian about a well-meaning middle-class family.
"As a child," Simmonds tells me, "I liked the combination of words and pictures - in bound copies of Punch magazines and, later, in the piles of comics some American kids used to give me. There was also something subversive about comics that appealed - adults didn't approve of them."

The Independent on Sunday: Mary Talbot's family run comic-book revolution
I'm really pleased with this great interview with the lovely Mary Talbot, published in today's Independent on Sunday.
Mary, along with husband and UK comics legend Bryan Talbot, made headlines earlier this year when her debut graphic novel, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, won a prestigious Costa award. We had a long chat in the sun about that win, how she came about entering the world of comics, and her upcoming second graphic novel and brand new comics festival.
"It was a medium of expression that I was very much aware of on a daily basis," she explains. "I mean, I've been watching Bryan create and been part of the process to some extent, in terms of reading his drafts and scripts, looking at pages as they form on the page, very often commenting on them. I've never participated before, fully, but I've been to some extent involved. I must have soaked up quite a bit of it!"
Making the transition into working in comics herself was perhaps, then, a natural step. "The whole thing started off as a suggestion from Bryan," Mary explains. "Would I consider writing an autobiographical graphic novel? That was the starting point. I was uncomfortable with the idea, because I didn't think it would have legs."
Though she modestly thought no one would be interested in her upbringing, Bryan assured her that her story was both unique and compelling. Her father, the Joycean scholar James S Atherton, has cast a long shadow upon Mary's life, which naturally suggested a link to James Joyce himself. Aware that the Ulysses author had a daughter, Mary began to see how her own story could be intertwined into something larger.

Stripped: Melinda Gebbie – Lost Girls, Pornography & Censorship
Kicking off the second round of Stripped events at the Edinburgh International Book Festival came the legendary and fabulous Melinda Gebbie, known for her work in the American underground comix of the '70s, the infamous and illegal Fresca Zizis, and of course her collaboration with Alan Moore on Lost Girls.
Melinda Gebbie is one of my heroes, and this was my first time listening to her speak in person. I was amazed that the room was only half full, perhaps due to overlapping events, but it was one of my absolute highlights of the festival. Larger than life and with one hell of a sharp sense of humour, Gebbie gave a career retrospective as well as a great big dose of enthusiasm for any women working in – or around – comics.

Help yourself to all of the extras in this unit: beach towels, snorkel equipment, coolers, beach chairs, beach bags, boogie boards, and maybe even some umbrellas and hats and sunscreen! The only thing you need to do is book your ticket, rent the car and get here.
Our unit has 2 beautiful lanais (with a BBQ) that encourage a cross breeze in the evenings, naturally cooling the space (and ceiling fans in each room help, too). June 2014 included a full update for the kitchen and bathrooms. They are fully stocked with everything you need to feel at home and dive into the rest and relaxation of the aloha spirit.
The main attraction: the BEACH – right across the street. It's perfect for snorkeling and is home to many honu (sea turtles). Wake up for the sunrise over Mauna Kea and see all of the turtles sunning themselves on the rocks. Just 200 yards from your lanai. And, in the same spot, is the best sunset on the island. It's magical.
Close by (.5 miles) is beach 69, one of our favorites. Great for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing if the weather is right. Further up the road is Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Pull up to the security gate and ask for a beach pass. Then set up your spot and head to the beach bar for the islands best Mai Tai. All just minutes from the condo.
Best part of the day is coming back from the beach and jumping in the pool! It's refreshing and always sparkling. Our friends' kids love the wading pool, perfect for the little ones still learning to swim.

Puako (Pu-ah-ko) is a small, quaint oceanfront community on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island located about 30 miles north of Kailua-Kona and 22 miles north of the Kona airport. The island's largest white sand beach, Hapuna, is right next door.
Puako is conveniently located for visiting all the resort hotels and restaurants on the Kohala Coast. The Mauna Kea, the Fairmont Orchid, the Mauna Lani and Hilton Hotels are just minutes away with their beaches, first class restaurants, shops and world class golf courses. Kohala Divers is nearby at Kawaihae Center, and offers various ocean activities including scuba diving and sunset/afternoon sails. Kawaihae Center and Harbor are just 10 minutes by car, with several great restaurants and shops. You are close to almost any activity you may choose, with the exception of the volcano which is a 3 hour drive from Kohala.
Several fabulous beaches are minutes away. Hapuna Beach (voted best beach in Hawaii by Conde Nast Magazine) and Waialea Bay (Beach 69) both are wonderful for swimming, snorkeling and boogie boarding.
The neighborhood is called Puako, and it is conveniently located for touring all parts of the island. All homes in this neighborhood are on small acreage, so it is a very low density area. Driving time to the Kona airport is approx. 40 minutes, Kailua Kona 50 minutes, Waimea 20 minutes, Hilo 1½ hours, Captain Cook, coffee country, 1¼ hours, Hawi and Polulu Valley 20-30 minutes.
The sun shines 355 days per year and the average temperature highs are in the 80's with low's in the 60's. The ocean's edge is about 150 feet from your doorstep with crystal blue water that is 72-76 degrees year round.
Puako offers ideal fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing and kayaking. Walking and biking is a favorite, too! Sea turtles, dolphins and whales are some of the sea life you may see. Puako offers beach style living and a real sense of getting away from it all.
Puako is rich in Hawaiian history. Walk south along the ocean trail to see the petroglyphs. There are approximately 3,000 petroglyphs scattered throughout the Puako Archaeological Fields. These pictures are etched into the lava rock that dominates the Kohala and Kona Coasts. Access to the Puako Petroglyph Park is through the adjacent Mauna Lani Resort.
The waters around Puako are extremely clear due to the fresh water run off and strong coastal currents. Divers and snorkelers can enjoy waters abundant in sea life along the shallow reef at Puako. The Puako Marine Preserve is a protected environment for endangered sea life. Green sea turtles are a protected species and should not be bothered, only enjoyed and admired. Watch the humpback whales play along the coast. Beyond Puako's reef shelf the whales play and breach during their migration to Hawaii from Alaska. It is quite a sight!

Gilligan had challenged the courts' legality to sentence him to consecutive jail terms for possession of mobile phones in jail after he was jailed for 20 years for drugs trafficking and subsequently two years for assaulting a prison officer.

ALCO Stores, Inc. Announces January Sales Results
ABILENE, Kan., Feb. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ALCO Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALCS) today announced sales for the January period, fourth quarter period and for the fiscal year-ended February 3, 2013. As a result of the Company's fiscal 2013 year containing 53 weeks, each fiscal 2013 period presented here has one additional week of sales in the current year when compared to the prior-year periods which contain 52 weeks. The Company will report actual results and also will compare the same-store percentage changes for each period "as adjusted" to an equal number of weeks with the prior year, by excluding the current fiscal year's 53 rd week of activity.
Sales from continuing operations, excluding fuel, increased 26.0% to $34.8 million for the fiscal five-week period ended February 3, 2013, compared to $27.6 million during the four-week period of the prior year. On a same-store basis, excluding fuel, sales increased 21.4% from a year earlier. As adjusted, same-store sales excluding fuel, decreased 1.0% from a year earlier.
For the fourth quarter ended February 3, 2013, sales from continuing operations, excluding fuel, increased 8.3% to $145.1 million, compared to $133.9 million for the fourth quarter ended January 29, 2012 of the prior year. On a same-store basis, excluding fuel, sales increased 4.2% from a year earlier. As adjusted, January same-store sales excluding fuel, decreased 0.5% from a year earlier.For the 53-week fiscal year ended February 3, 2013, sales from continuing operations, excluding fuel, increased 3.6% to $485.7 million, compared to $468.8 million during the 52-week period of the prior year. On a same-store basis, excluding fuel, sales for the 53-week period increased 0.3% from a year earlier. As adjusted, same-store sales, excluding fuel, decreased 1.0% from a year earlier. Rich Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "January sales were somewhat soft due to a combination of positive and negative factors. Cooler temperatures in January drove ALCO's business in seasonal categories within the Home and Hardlines Divisions, and we also experienced growth in our Commodities Division as a result of our expanded freezer and cooler product offerings. However, consumer spending was subdued amid uncertainty on the future of the economy with the fiscal cliff, payroll tax increase, and other issues in the period."

Take a deep breath; help is on the way!
While scouting a hopyard in central Vermont, UVM Extension Entomologist Scott Lewins photographed these Japanese beetles last week with some deadly companions on their backs (Figure 1). The white dots on the thorax of the Japanese beetle in the picture are eggs of a parasitic fly brought here years ago to help control this destructive invasive species.
The winsome fly, Istocheta aldrichi (Figure 2), is a parasitic fly native to Japan, where it is one of the most effective parasites of Japanese beetles. Female flies lay their eggs on the thorax of newly-emerged Japanese beetles. After the eggs hatch, the parasitic maggots burrow into their Japanese beetle host, killing them in five to six days. The beetle rapidly dies as the maggots eat it from the inside out. This often means that the targeted beetles never reproduce. The fly completes its lifecycle within the body of the dead beetle, emerging the following year.
The USDA first introduced the winsome fly in the United States in 1922 to try to combat Japanese beetles. Their introduction has been slow to take hold throughout the US, but has become well-established in New England since their introduction. The winsome fly and Japanese beetles are not as well-synchronized within the US as they are in their native Japan. Unfortunately, the fly emerges earlier than the beetle so we don't realize the full benefit of Japanese beetle control. Despite this asynchrony, parasitization rates of more than 20% have been observed.
In order to encourage winsome flies in the landscape, there are ways to manipulate the habitat to benefit them. Adult flies feed on the nectar of umbelliferous flowers like yarrow, hemlock, Queen Anne's lace and parsnip. Providing food sources for adult flies will attract them to the area, and when Japanese beetles begin to emerge, the winsome fly will be ready to do what it was brought here for.
For more information on Japanese beetles and their management, check out the following article on Japanese beetles:http://www.uvm.edu/extension/cropsoil/wp-content/uploads/Japanese_beetle_in_hops.pdf.

Disease: Downy mildew is our biggest pest problem this year in Vermont. Due to the lasting rainy weather, we continue to see aerial and basal spikes appear. For disease control in the Alburgh, VT research hopyard, we spray an organic fungicide weekly. We also have a new crowning trial this season that you can check out at our field day on July 24th at Borderview Farm!
Arthropods: On the arthropod side of pest management we have been finding medium levels of the major hop arthropod pests in Vermont. Hop aphids, two spotted spider mites, and potato leafhoppers are all present, yet have remained well below actionable levels. The harsh, long winter that our region experienced this year is certainly part of the reason for lower arthropod populations. A few Japanese beetles and various caterpillar species (Eastern comma and hop looper) have also been scouted. As a result of not applying insecticides thus far in our research yard, we have been able to avoid secondary outbreaks of spider mites and aphids. When broad spectrum insecticides are sprayed, beneficial arthropods are killed allowing pest arthropod populations to increase rapidly. See our major and minor arthropod pest fact sheets on our website under News from the Field.
Early Hop Cones: It has been observed across the country that cones are developing early. In our hopyard, 'Saaz' as of July 1, 2014 already had full sized cones and will be ready to harvest in a few weeks. It is unclear as to why we are seeing this trend but it is nationwide. Tell us what you're seeing on our UVM Extension Crops and Soils facebook page!

We began irrigating on the week of June 1st and will continue to irrigate until harvest at the end of August. Hops require a lot of water! We strongly recommend that you irrigate, and once you are done, irrigate some more. Chris Lattak of the Trickl-eez irrigation company recommends 16 gallons per plant per week. That's a hard number to hit – we won't be reaching it because we'd run the well dry – but it's a good goal. For evidence to the value in irrigation, see this recent SARE grant study from Aroostook Farm in Maine: http://www.aroostookhops.com/uploads/SAREFinalReport2012FNE11-711.pdf. This year we also added a fertigation system, which applies fertilizer through the drip irrigation. The fertigation started the week of June 9th. More information to come on our fertigation system.

We have been receiving inquiries as to Downy Mildew diagnosis and management techniques. Our Downy Mildew fact sheet (Link is below) has quite a bit of information that can be helpful. As always, please contact us if you have specific questions, or if we can elaborate on anything found within the fact sheet.
Keep calm and hop on

Hello hop enthusiasts!
We hope that all of your hops are beginning to grow and green up as the season gets into full swing. This year we are conducting a crowning date experiment. The first crowning date occurred on April 14th, and the second on May 12th. Stay tuned for growth and production updates!
We will begin spraying for downy mildew this week. We have observed a few characteristic pale green – yellow, stunted basal spikes in Alburgh, VT (image). We will spray for the first time before wet weather returns later this week.
As in years past, we will begin scouting for insects on June 1st as they start filtering into the hopyard.
GROWERS: We have gotten many inquiries as to what pesticides to use. Please fill out a short questionnaire (7 easy questions) about pesticide use and application. The link is below.
As always, please contact us if you have questions or if we can assist in anyway.
Keep calm and hop on!

BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WALA) – When Dr. Alan Lee came on board as the new superintendent for Baldwin County Public Schools in June 2010, there was a lot of work to do.
The former superintendent of a small school system in Virginia was now in a bigger county –with bigger problems. The school year had just ended with hundreds of layoffs, students were enrolling a pace faster than the system could handle, and there were concerns about whether the system could provide a quality education for everyone. Dr. Lee spent his first three days on the job traveling across the county.
"Right now what I'm trying to do is to meet has many people as I can and not only school employees, but people in the community. "
Two years after taking the job, in an effort to save the systems shrinking budget, Lee pushed for a one cent sales tax extension that was initially passed to make up for state funding shortfalls. The tax passed by a wide-margin for another five years.
"I'm just absolutely elated. I just can't say enough about how good I feel about the voters in Baldwin County and the recognition of the schools and what were doing," said Dr. Lee.
But the tax wasn't enough to help the school system keep up with a growing Baldwin county. The system hasn't seen a new school since 2007.
"Time frame is we needed schools about three years ago. We're gaining about 800 students a year right now. That's roughly an elementary size school," said Dr. Lee.
Lee sought advice from the community with a series of meetings to help the school system decide which direction to take.
"There's got to be some source for the future if people want to build schools for their children and that's why we're going out into the community; to let people know what the facts are and let them make up their mind and if the voters decide they want better schools and they want more facilities for their children, then that's a decision that they're going to have to make at some point," Dr. Lee explained.
Lee's biggest initiative was the Digital Renaissance, which put hundreds of new MacBook computers in the hands of students to take home or use in class. Dr. Lee said the move was necessary, because 21st century employers expect computer savvy students.
But just recently the city of Orange Beach approved a feasibility to weigh the pros and the cons of an independent system. It could possibly pave the way for the first city-run system in the county…an indication at least to some…that the job Lee set out to do wasn't good enough.
Dr. Lee replaced Faron Hollinger. Per his contract Lee gave a 90-day notice. He says his last day will be November 1, 2014.

For other uses, see Georgy Porgy
"Georgy Porgy" is a song written by David Paich, released on Toto's self-titled debut album in 1978. It was released as a single and charted on the Billboard Hot 100 (#48) as well as on both the R&B (#18)[2] and the Dance (#80) charts.
The lead vocals are performed by guitarist Steve Lukather. Cheryl Lynn provided the female backing vocal.
The song is still performed on tour. It is adapted with improvisational solos on guitar and keyboards.[3]
In an 1988 interview with Modern Drummer, Jeff Porcaro discussed developing the groove for "Georgy Porgy":
"...it's imitating Paul Humphrey heavily; it's imitating Earl Palmer very heavily. When it comes to that groove, my biggest influences were Paul Humphrey, Ed Greene, Earl Palmer, and the godfather of that 16th-note groove, James Gadson. That "Georgie Porgie" groove I owe to them."
In 1980 a band by the name Side Effect released a version in 1980. It was on their "After The Rain" album. It made it to 77 in the US R&B charts.
A version by US soul band Charme was released in 1982 featuring an uncredited vocal by Luther Vandross. The single was re-released a few years later after the vocalist's rise in popularity and he was then credited as the featured artist. It remains a popular version in rare groove circles.
In 1999, a cover version by Eric Benét (with Faith Evans on background vocals) was released as the first single from Benét's album A Day in the Life. Their version reached number two in New Zealand.
MC Lyte used this song as the musical foundation of "Poor Georgie", from her 1991 album Act Like You Know. The song was used by Devin the Dude in his song "Georgy" from album "The Dude (Devin the Dude album)" and by Guru in "Kissed the World" from album "Jazzmatazz, Vol. 4: The Hip-Hop Jazz Messenger: Back to the Future" also.
In 2005, guitarist Nils offered a rendition of this song from his popular Contemporary jazz radio Baja/TSR Records released album, 'Pacific Coast Highway.'[4] Its also sampled on the remix of Joe's "All Or Nothing" single from his 1994 album of the same name called the Georgy Porgy remix.
In 2009 a rearranged instrumental rendition was also done by Japanese artist DJ Deckstream[5] on his Music Castle album[6].

It's a real travel in time...
Being there was a privilegie! The house is very well mantained and has a unique style. The staff is helpfull and the breakfast served as a bufet has some variety.
At evening the restaurant has dinner too, wich is very handful for the guests.

At least we thought he was jolly, turned out he was completely hammered. Even though he was sitting in front of us he'd repeatedly turn round and try and have a conversation about the Salt Flats with us… While repeatedly kissing my hand… Bit weird for sure. But it got a little more so after we started to ignore him.
... but mostly drove back.
After the salt plains, I went to Oyuni, this city is known for its mines. There were in total 3 busses on this dirt road and we were in some kind of a race. But 'unfortunately' after one hour we were out of the race because of a flat tire. Later that day we have seen, for the fist time in Bolivia, paved road! Near Oyuni there is a volcano, but because of the height there never has been an eruption, which means the volcano ...

WoolBack was specifically designed to stand up to the rigors of everyday riding. Wool's natural resiliency reduces wear and with proper care it will provide years of soft cushioned protection. While synthetics only trap moisture between fibers, wool actually absorbs 80% of its own weight in moisture. And because wool is very porous, it allows for continuous air circulation and the release of moisture during use. Wool also has a unique structure of fibers that resists dirt penetration, and unlike any fiber, it has minute "barbs" that grip the hair on your horse's back to keep the saddle pad from slipping.
All Toklat Woolback pads are made with Western Wool (a longer pile than English wool with 1" fleece pile). All sizes are close but not exact.

Jake's Cause
Jacob Sprowl is a wonderful, caring 11 year old child that is caught up in the turmoil of a disorder that leaves him frustrated and exhausted. Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. TS, as it is often referred to, is more common in males than females, and usually manifests itself between the ages of 3 and 9. To add to the burden Jake was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism. Many children with AS are highly active in early childhood, but some may not reach milestones as early as other children regarding motor skills such as pedaling a bike, catching a ball, or climbing outdoor play equipment. Jake has a bike sitting in the garage that he never mastered, even though he has tried on numerous occasions. Simple things to us are mountains to climb for a child with these disorders.
Jake's day can start out on the good side and at the drop of a hat come crashing down around him. The motor and verbal tics associated with TS can be awkward and embarrassing. As he grows older some repression of the tics by Jake can hide the disorder from others, but is still happening full fold to his mind, body and soul. Tics are often worse with excitement or anxiety and better during calm, focused activities. Certain physical experiences can trigger or worsen tics, for example tight collars may trigger neck tics, or hearing another person sniff or throat-clear may trigger similar sounds. Jake has both verbal and motor tics. He will sometimes talk with a gruff voice, just like you would if you had a "frog" in your throat. Another normal tic in Jake's everyday life is "tooting", a sound made by pursing his lips. A motor tic for Jake is jerking of his arms or kicking his backside with his feet when he walks. Tapping is another demon that haunts Jake. It can be with his foot or hand, loud or soft, but always noticeable. It allows an outlet for the anger that builds within him.
He cannot tie his own shoes. This is an overwhelming task that the family has tried to teach him. So we must tie his shoes for him. They must be tied a certain way; not to tight, not to loose. The bow must be centered and straight. This complexity is from another disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. His homework must be written a certain way and if he is not satisfied he will erase it, or write it over and over until he puts a hole in the paper. OCD affects Jake's daily routines, in that everything must be done in order or a certain way.
Anger and anxiety have now become a part of Jake's life. The frustration of TS, Asperger's and OCD has taken a toll on his daily school ritual and his home life. The desks in his homeroom at school must be lined up every day when he enters the room. This may seem trivial to you, but to a child with OCD and AS everything must be in its place. Jake struggles when everyday life does not go according to plan. When the frustration and anger take over Jake has trouble speaking. He tries to calm himself down to the point where he can talk, but this can take time. He has learned to "breathe", taking deep breaths in and out allowing him time to acclimate to the ongoing crisis. This may not always work but gives the adult involved a chance to work with Jake to re-direct his actions or feelings.
Jake's life is also affected by his hearing loss. When Jake was young he had numerous ear infections and the doctor recommended tubes. The tubes left holes in the ear drums. There were numerous surgeries attempting to patch the holes. After 7 surgeries he still has a hole in one ear drum and the bones that sit behind the other ear drum have withered away from the infections. His most recent surgery was to repair a concaved ear drum. Jake has moderate to severe conductive hearing loss and wears hearing aids in both ears.
Jake enjoys playing the trumpet in his 5th grade band at his local middle school. He is involved in Boy Scouts, 4H and is an acolyte at his church. He carries excellent grades with the help of his teachers, office staff, assistant principal and principal. We could not ask for a better school district that is willing and able to work with a child with disabilities. It takes a village to raise a child and our district is the village. The Sprowl family is forever grateful to everyone who cares for Jake during school hours when we cannot be with him.
We look forward to a new addition to the family. A service dog will give Jake the best friend that he so desperately needs, and help deter the meltdowns with a nuzzle, a touch or a lick. To give Jake some normalcy in his life, to take the pressures from the day and melt them away would be an awesome experience that he deserves. We do believe a service dog would do that for our Jake. Please help the cause, Jake's cause.
It will cost 4 Paws $22,000 to place a multi-purpose dog with Jake. We are committed to raising $13,000 in support of the 4 Paws mission and can reach our goal with your help. If you can help us with a tax-deductible donation, please visit 4 Paws Donation Page (http://www.4PawsForAbility.org/donate-now). Include the name, Jacob Sprowl in the "instructions to merchant" through PayPal. Or mail a check with his name on the memo line to: 4 Paws for Ability, In Honor of Jacob Sprowl, 253 Dayton Ave., Xenia, Ohio 45385.
Thank you in advance,
The Sprowl Family

SACRAMENTO - With the state's financial crisis deepening and Republicans refusing to raise taxes, Democrats appear poised this morning to exploit a legislative loophole to raise $9.3 billion in taxes without a single GOP vote.
The governor's willingness to sign such a bill, however, is uncertain.
"We have made every effort to engage our Republican colleagues ⦠and they are very clear ⦠they are not going to put up a single vote to raise the necessary revenue," Senate Leader Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said Wednesday, less than two hours after a state board voted to halt $3.8 billion in financing for public works projects.
"We will resolve this problem with you or without you," he said.
The plan, which also includes $7.3 billion in cuts, will result in a 3/4-cent sales tax increase, add 13 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas and levy a 2.5 percent "surcharge" on income tax, which will add $25 to a $1,000 income tax bill.
Republicans were outraged and called the move "unconstitutional."
"People will criticize this. That's fine," Steinberg said. "But put the challenge to anyone else. What viable option is currently on the table that will make this large of a dent in California's budget deficit before the first of the year?"
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office, however, suggested he might not sign the proposal because it may not provide the economic stimulus he wants. The governor has repeatedly said he wants an economic stimulus package along with cuts and taxes.
Democratic leaders held a news conference late Wednesday to pledge that the package includes an "aggressive" stimulus package featuring the governor's favorite ideas, including public-private partnerships.
"We're very hopeful the governor will sign it," Steinberg said. Both houses are scheduled to vote on the package at 9 a.m.
California is facing a $41 billion budget deficit in the next two years as tax revenue has declined with the worsening economy. The situation has gotten so bad that on Wednesday the Pooled Money Investment Board, an obscure panel composed of the state treasurer, controller and director of finance, voted unanimously to cut off project financing and divert the money to the state's sinking general fund.
The move helps keep the state solvent but endangers hundreds of construction projects statewide, including the new appellate courthouse in Santa Ana. The financing freeze could make Division 3 of the 4th District Court of Appeal homeless by spring.
"As bad as the result is going to be ⦠I really see no alternative," Finance Director Mike Genest said of the freeze.
The governor and legislative Democrats have maintained for weeks that the solutions are spending cuts and higher taxes. Tax increases, however, typically require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature, and with Republicans occupying a little over a third of the Senate and Assembly, any typical tax increase needs GOP support.
To get around the two-thirds requirement, Democrats have proposed to exploit a legal loophole that allows a majority of the Legislature to raise and lower taxes if the overall impact is zero.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] Obama announces Afghanistan drawdown: AfPak Daily Brief, June 23, 2011
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT
|2011-06-23 14:59:14
Thursday, June 23, 2011
AfPak Channel Daily Brief
Wonk Watch: Brian Fishman and Andrew Lebovich, "Countering Domestic
Radicalization: Lessons for Intelligence Collection and Community Outreach"
Major announcement
President Barack Obama told Americans Wednesday evening that, "the tide of
war is receding" as he announced plans for the drawdown of American forces
in Afghanistan, saying that 10,000 "surge" troops will depart the country
this year, followed by 20,000 by next September (Full text - AP, NYT, Post,
Guardian, WSJ, Times, CBS, LAT, Tel, BBC, ABC). Obama insisted that the
United States was meeting its goals in Afghanistan and that half of
al-Qaeda's known leaders had been killed in the past year and a half, and
promised a responsible but "steady pace" of withdrawal through 2014, when
security in Afghanistan is scheduled to be handed over to the Afghan
government (NYT, CBS). The withdrawal schedule exceeded more cautious plans
put forward by top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan Gen. David
Petraeus and some Congressional leaders, while others in Congress argued
that the pace of withdrawal was not quick enough (Post, NYT, Guardian,
National Journal, CNN, NYT, Reuters, WSJ, AP). Bonus read: Peter Bergen,
"Behind the scene of the Afghanistan Troop Withdrawal Plan" (CNN).
The President acknowledged the costs of war in the speech, saying that it
was time to turn to "nation-building" in the United States, and expressing
his support for talks with the Taliban (Post, Reuters, Tel). Obama also
recognized the role that Pakistan had played in helping track down, capture
and kill members of al-Qaeda, but said that the United States will not
accept safe havens for terrorists, and that, "we will insist that [Pakistan]
keep its commitments," to confront terrorists within its borders (AFP, NYT).
The Taliban in a statement called for a full withdrawal of U.S. troops to
stop "pointless bloodshed" (Reuters, AFP).
Afghan officials said that their country would be ready to take over
security as Afghan president Hamid Karzai said that Afghanistan will stand
up and defend itself, even as Afghans and American military planners
expressed concern about the durability of gains made against the Taliban and
the possible precipitous decline of Afghanistan's economy once foreign
troops leave (AP, Post, CNN, CBS, NYT, NYT). NATO's chief Anders Fogh
Rasmussen and U.K. prime minister David Cameron welcomed Obama's speech,
while French president Nicolas Sarkozy announced a gradual withdrawal of his
country's troops in Afghanistan (AP, Tel, Guardian, AP, Reuters BBC). The
U.S. drawdown will likely factor into Gen. Petraeus' confirmation hearings
today to lead the CIA, an appointment that if approved will accelerate a
leadership transition in Afghanistan to the command of Marine Gen. John
Allen (Reuters, WSJ, AP, Post, Reuters).
In other Afghanistan news, a special election tribunal appointed by Karzai
on Wednesday voided close to 25 percent of results from last year's
parliamentary elections (Reuters, AP). Afghan intelligence officials have
accused NATO and the Afghan government of ignoring insurgent infiltration in
Nuristan province and other areas that border Pakistan (BBC). And Canada's
government has declassified documents it says exonerates military officials
accused of knowing that prisoners trasferred to the Afghan government were
being tortured (AP).
The foreign secretaries from India and Pakistan are meeting today to discuss
bilateral peace and security issues, including terrorism and the disputed
region of Kashmir, an issue that Pakistani prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani
said was linked to the future of Pakistan (BBC, AP, Reuters, AFP/ET, AFP,
We can work it out
In a phone call Wednesday President Obama and Pakistani leader Asif Ali
Zardari pledged to improve ties, as Pakistan has reportedly issued visas to
67 CIA officials in return for the CIA's agreement to disclose information
on its intelligence postings in the country (AFP, DT, Dawn, AP, DT, ET).
Meanwhile, the Post reports on Pakistan's efforts to forge closer ties to
China as its relationship with the United States has deteriorated (Post).
Court proceedings were delayed today in the trial of seven men accused of
involvement in the death of Sarfaraz Shah in Karachi, a killing that was
recorded and rebroadcast and has caused major outrage in Pakistan (AFP,
AFP/ET, ET). Bonus read: Bilal Baloch, "A death on screen" (FP).

involvement with the banned radical group Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which the Tribune
reports still has free reign in Pakistan to distribute its materials and
promote its message (Dawn, BBC, ET). Reuters reports on the increasing

border with Afghanistan to prevent infiltration from militants (Reuters,
Two stories round out the news: Near Quetta, two Shi'a pilgrims on their way
to Iran were killed when militants attacked their bus (AFP, ET). And the
U.N. has estimated that up to 5 million Pakistanis could be impacted by
floods this year (Reuters).

while the opposing king is a figure of Osama bin Laden.
