Expert: Erratic Randy Travis Could Be Caused By Paulie Walnuts Wings
Randy Travis is making headlines yet again down in Texas today after he was arrested around midnight near his home in Tioga. Police found the country music singer injured after he wrecked his Trans Am, and claim he smelled of alcohol, and was naked lying in the middle of the road. After refusing a breathalyzer, police preformed a blood alcohol test, and say that Travis threatened to kill them, raising the stakes of the arrest to a possible felony offense. Travis was also arrested in February for public intoxication when police found him drunk in a church parking lot.
So what is the cause of all of Randy's recent erratic behavior? One expert says it can be linked to the silver wings that have recently sprouted from the side of Randy's head. "Paulie Walnuts syndrome is what some like to call it, named after the famous Sopranos TV character known for being especially ruthless and having 'silver wings' in his hair," Dr. Malcom Frankenfurter, a physiologist for the University of Texas Medical Center explains. "But it is a serious medical disorder just recently discovered that can lead to major behavioral difficulties in aging males."
The disorder apparently is caused by an imbalance of the chemical melanin in the brain. "Melanin is the pigment that gives hair and skin its color," says Dr. Frankenfurter. "As we age, many times the hair follicles that contain a finite amount of pigment cells cease to produce the melanin, and our hair begins to turn gray, or white. In the case of people with Paulie Walnuts syndrome, the melanin loss is so dramatic and concentrated around the lower sides of the brain that it effects the temporal lobes of both brain hemispheres, many times causing erratic behavior and temporary loss of judgement, especially when alcohol is involved. If you look at an image of the brain, the temporal lobes virtually mimic the location of many aging male's 'silver wings.'"
Dr. Frankenfurter is quick to say Randy Travis has not been diagnosed with the ailment, but recommends his doctors look into the possibly Randy is effected by it right away.
"Randy Travis really should be checked out before he does something to really endanger his country music career, like sign with Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records and release a country rap song about a truck, or even worse, release a single with Bucky Covington."
Paulie Walnuts could not be reached for comment.
The Cure for Music Myopia – Pickathon 2012 Recap
There are a lot of things I could praise Pickathon for, like the fact they can throw a festival for over 3,000 folks and generate virtually no trash, that they can broadcast all of their stages online in super-high quality, and for free, and implement all manner of other forward-thinking ideas into the music festival format while thinking out all the little dilemmas and ensnaring tentacles that may arise when trying new things.
But the thing I am most thankful for when it comes to Pickathon is that in this age of music and cultural mypoia, where technology and media that intuitively should give us access and awareness to so much more seem to instead be fueling the narrowing of the music reality tunnel, Pickathon works to erode music myopia by filtering off the cream of many different scenes and styles of music and offering them all for your listening enjoyment in one place, and at the same time offering that music in multiple formats and settings to be enjoyed.
Almost like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel, with so many different stages and performers playing multiple times over the weekend, everyone's Pickathon experience is going to be unique, and it is going to be filled by both enjoying the familiar, and discovering the unknown.
My Pickathon 2012 experience started with the familiar in the form of Whitey Morgan & The 78′s. Whitey played Pickathon in 2011 as well, but only had one remaining member from last year's lineup; pedal steel player Brett Robinson. New bass player Joey Spina and harp/harmony vocalist Danny Coburn looked like they belong in Whitey's band more than Whitey, with their long hair, huge build and beards, and black vests, while Whitey appeared to have lost half a hundred pounds since last August. With new drummer Tony DiCello, you may consider this the "hot" version of The 78′s with generally faster-paced songs.
This 78′s lineup may be new, but they were tight. Danny Coburn has been singing harmonies with Whitey since they were 15, and you got these sense you weren't just watching a tight band, but a tight group of friends. Numerous times during both of Whitey's Friday sets he capped off barely-veiled shots at old lineups and old players. "My band's totally different from last year, and twice as better. It's the best band I've ever had, dot dot dot!"
They featured a new cover of Thin Lizzy's "Cowboy Song", and a new version of their old song, "I Ain't Drunk":
Between Whitey's sets on the main stage and the Galaxy Barn, I caught Cajun Country Revival consisting of Caleb Klauder, members of the Foghorn Stringband, and real deal Cajun musicians Jesse Lege and Joel Savoy. They stimulated the biggest crowd of dancers in the Galaxy Barn all weekend.
Integrating Cajun and country, French and English, weaving in and out of the different styles sometimes in the same song awakens that deep-rooted roots appeal embedded in all of our souls and sets the body in motion. Whether it was when Joel Savoy and Foghorn's Stephen Lind got sawing together on the fiddles, or when elder Cajun music legend Jesse Lege took the lead on accordion or belted out a chorus in authentic Cajun French, or Caleb Klauder then parroted the line in English in his sublime country voice, the Cajun Country Revival created shivers.
And no matter where you put Caleb Klauder, the quality of the music project rises, and its sometimes hard to not focus on him alone. With his own band, with Foghorn, or sitting in with someone like Justin Townes Earle like happened at Pickathon three years ago, Caleb Klauder is quality, and a very familiar face around the Pickathon grounds. After the Cajun Country Revival set, I felt the need to take to Twitter and unilaterally declare him the "Mayor of Pickathon."
Here they are performing Buck Owens' "I Don't Care (Just As Long As You Love Me)":
At the end of the year whenever I look back on all the live performances I've seen, Pickathon usually facilitates one of the top musical experiences, and that was the case when Thee Oh Sees took the Galaxy Barn stage late Friday night. It is physically impossible to put out more energy then they did in their wild set of psychedelic surf guitar rock. Hard, driving, and fast, but still ethereal and dreamy, it was one of those fully-encompassing music experiences where you're completely taken in by the music and nothing else matters. They mix the mod/retro feel of the B-52′s, the style of Dick Dale, the energy of West Coast punk, and the boy/girl high harmonies indicative of fellow San Francisco-based Jefferson Airplane. No words would do them justice so just watch the video below (and here's another from Pitchfork). If you like music, you need Thee Oh Sees in your life.
Saturday started by checking out Andy Bean and the Two Man Gentlemen Band, drenched in their period garb and offering the neo-traditional fare for the weekend. Call them a bit if you want, but they had the crowd up on their feet with their up-tempo, catchy tunes bolstered by humorous lyrics and tight harmonies. Then after a second round of Thee Oh Sees on the main stage, it was time for clawhammer banjo player Abagail Washburn accompanied by Kai Welch. Progressing way beyond her primitive instrument, Abigail offered a diverse set that went from gospel, to ambient keyboard loops and ethereal vocals accompanied by Kai's trumpet, to traditional Chinese music complete with appropriate hand gestures. And then she finished up with what else, but dancing a jig while leading the crowd in a gospel sing-along.
This year's Pickathon had a very distinct Cajun/New Orleans flavor, from the previously-mentioned Cajun Country Revival, to the big and boisterous Hot 8 Brass Band–a New Orleans street marching street act–to the Lost Bayou Ramblers, which featured Gordon Gano from The Violent Femmes on fiddle, both of which delivered blazing sets on Saturday night to big crowds.
Other Saturday highlights were Reverend KM Williams keeping the blues alive at Pickathon, and Ohio's Southeast Engine who offered a breather from all the bits and showed that straightforward rock songs and substantive songwriting will always have their place and appeal in music.
Last year when Pickathon released their lineup and Langhorn Slim was not on it, fans raised such a clamor, there was no keeping him off this year. It certainly wasn't from lack of talent that Langhorn Slim was left off, only that he has performed the fest so many times in recent memory. If Caleb
Klauder is the Mayor of Pickathon, Langhorn Slim is the King. His use of dynamics is the most enchanting thing this side of Phish, and the energy is virtually unmatched. But what you can't overlook is Langhorn's lyricism, and for how entertaining his fast, dynamic numbers were, his slow songs may be the most memorable.
Saturday night was also when pseudo-headliner Neko Case (Pickathon is famous for not having traditional headliners) had her first set on the Woods Stage, which as the name implies, is set way back in the woods in a primitive setting. I'll say first that this was not Neko's primary slot. She would play Sunday night as well on the main stage and from all accounts (I had to leave before her set), it was excellent. But this first one Saturday night was the most off and uninspired set of music I witnessed all weekend, or at any Pickathon, and coming from someone dubbed as one of the biggest name at the fest, this was disappointing.
Her set was supposed to begin at 9 PM, and didn't start until after 10. I'm not sure if this was completely her fault. I know the stage had been running about 45 minutes late earlier in the day, but the crowd had been standing there for more than an hour in the darkness, with no other music that bled over into her slot. The lone beer stand back in the Woods ran out of booze. Dust had been a big issue over the weekend, especially at the Woods Stage, and people sat or stood breathing it in to in the end watch a mild set of music.
When Neko finally came out on stage sporting an Iron Maiden t-shirt and stroking the hair back out of her face every few minutes, she looked bothered and unfocused. She flubbed numerous songs, having to start one over, and messing up another one by forgetting her guitar player was not there, which also aided to the hollow and uninspired sound. A big chunk of the set was filled with only partially-humorous, and many times confusing and incongruent stage banter about leaking nipples and Hobart mixers. When Neko was singing and focused, the music was excellent, but after 3/4′s of the set and a nose full of black buggers, I raised a white flag and headed for the Dr. Dog show on the main stage.
Dr. Dog never does not deliver. You can ask the question why they and other bands like The War on Drugs are performing at a festival that is basically roots-based (and they ask that very question themselves from the Pickathon stage two years ago, the first time they played the fest) but the magic and appeal of their music is undeniable.
After seeing Lake Street Dive perform at Pickathon's "Pumphouse", a small shack isolated in the woods where bands go in and make top notch videos for the site Live & Breathing, I made a vow to catch their set on Sunday at Pickathon's Workshop Barn, where bands not only perform, but get a chance to tell stories about their songs, and sometimes engage in question and answer sessions with the crowd. Right up there with Thee Oh Sees, Lake Street Dive from Brooklyn was one of the new take-aways for me from 2012 Pickathon. Though maybe a little more polished and jazzy for traditional Saving Country Music fare, their style and musicianship was enthralling and made me a fast fan. After their last Workshop Barn song, they got the biggest ovation I think I have ever seen for a live performance, possibly ever. I was afraid the floor was going to cave in.
Shovels & Rope was also a top priority for Sunday, and Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent delivered. On a weekend that showcased some of the greatest pickers and players out there today, Shovels & Rope showed that passion and heart are still the most important parts in connecting with music. They're like the underdogs you love to root for, though they may not be underdogs for long. Pickathon has a way of finding talent and showcasing it right before its meteoric (and sometimes too expensive to book in the future) rise, and Shovels & Rope might have been that band this year.
Unfortunately, even with Pickathon offering two performances from artists, there were still folks I wanted to see and missed, like Doug Paisley and Blitzen Trapper, and Todd Snider who played both sets before I arrived on Friday. But still the amount of music I saw was enough to satiate the music brain for months, and the new bands I discovered gave me plenty of homework.
Once again Pickathon put on an excellent festival that I can comfortably call the most well-operated, most forward-thinking, and most hospitable festivals you can find, music or otherwise. This year dust was an issue for some folks, but that is a solvable problem, and though Pickathon seems to be teetering right at the edge of overcapacity, some smart thinking in the routing of people, and making small changes like an overflow area for the Workshop Barn and moving the beer stand away from the Galaxy Barn to relieve congestion helped stave off those concerns for now.
A big hand goes out to Terry, Zale, all the Pickathon performers, organizers, workers, and volunteers for another excellent an inspiring music experience!

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - The World Health Organization says 147 people have died from the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa.
In a statement posted on its website, the organization said more than 240 cases of the virus have been recorded in Guinea and Liberia.
Most of those cases are in Guinea, where 136 people have died. Another 11 people have died in Liberia. The Liberia figure has been revised down because one death was already counted in Guinea's toll and tests showed another was not attributable to the virus.
Ebola causes a high fever and internal and external bleeding. There is no cure and no vaccine and it has a high fatality rate.
The West African outbreak is highly unusual as the disease is typically found only in central or eastern Africa.

Strawberries from Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce this season under the Limited Edition label are an example of how an after-hours conversation among "odd bedfellows" can improve food safety, according to those involved with a pilot program.
The program is the first demonstration of the Equitable Food Initiative launched by Oxfam America, part of the international non-profit Oxfam organization.
In addition to the San Diego-based grower-shipper Andrew & Williamson, retailer Costco Wholesale Corp. and cafe operator Bon Appétit Management Co. are participating. The two chains are paying a premium price for the strawberries from the pilot.
Ernie Farley, manager for Andrew & Williamson, said the firm "volunteered to be the guinea pig" for the pilot program that started in 2012.
Courtesy Andrew & Williamson Fresh ProduceChris Filice, farm manager for Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce, discusses with field workers how they can improve food safety during a training session as part of Oxfam America's Equitable Food Initiative."About three years ago at a Costco suppliers meeting Jeff Lyons discussed the need for fresh produce to do something about food safety collaboration," Farley said. "We have had such success (with the pilot) that we are instituting the program into almost all of our operations."
Oxfam America's Peter O'Driscoll said additional discussions among "odd bedfellows at an industry event" led to the program pilot. O'Driscoll is project director for the program — the Equitable Food Initiative — which Oxfam officials plan to spin off as a standalone non-profit entity.
"We had growers, labor, processors and retailers talking about how there are good reasons for all of those groups to work together on food safety for fresh produce," O'Driscoll said. "We realized we had a sincere interest in engaging the workforce (in fresh produce) in food safety."
O'Driscoll said the Equitable Food Initiative drafted a set of verifiable standards for a certification system that will enhance food safety while guaranteeing decent wages and safe work environments. The standards are partially based on requirements in the Food Safety Modernization Act, O'Driscoll said.
"But our standards exceed FSMA," he said.
Farley said the pilot at Andrew & Williamson's Sierra Farm has proven that training field workers as the first line of defense in the battle for food safety is popular with employees and provides "endless opportunities to increase value for consumers and reduce shrink for retailers."

February? My memory barely goes back to Saturday. Hope you enjoyed
it. It is a great potluck dish - the only trick is making sure it
gets to the dinner end of the buffet, not down by the desserts.
I don't know where I got it, or how much I have tweaked it over the
years. Thanks for the reminder. It's starting to get cool - I'll
have to make one this week.
You are very welcome, and thanks for the thanks. If anyone gets sick,
though, this conversation never happened and you don't know me.

Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin and usually appears during adolescence. The best way of treating it is with Acnezine, a natural acne treatment product by Revitol. Basically Acne is formed by excessive oil secretion under the skin, building up behind a blocked pore, causing bacteria to multiply uncontrolled. The skin then inflames producing a visible lesion. Acne can flare up on the body, chest, but is more evident when its facial Acne. However there is a product that can help cure your Acne and that product is Acnezine. It contains an antioxidant element which regulates oil secretion, slowly putting an end to Acne.
Acnezine solution is a revolutionary acne skin care system formulated to treat acne from the inside-out.To receive your FREE bottle and purchase from the OFFICIAL site click here.
What You Also Need To Know About Acnezine
However a word of warning if you are planning to use Acnezine acne treatment. If you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide then it is advisable that you do not use the product.
When using this product make sure you adhere to the following: –
- Avoid contact with the sun and use a sunscreen.
- Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and lips.
- Irritation of the skin may occur, possible effects are redness, burning, itching, peeling or swelling. By using the product less, any irritation will subside.
- Increased dryness of the skin may occur.
- If skin irritation becomes severe then stop using and consult a Doctor.
Taking all of this into account Acnezine does work and testimonials of the product are available for all to see. I feel that it is my duty to point out the effects that this product can have on you. Most people will be ok using the product. It is the same with any product that can help you, they will always have side effects. Take me for example I have suffered with Psoriasis for about 30 years band I use a cream that contains steroids that thin the skin. However I still use the product as I know it improves my Psoriasis. But I am glad that I was made aware of the effects of using the cream.
How To Use Acnezine
- Make sure that you cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication
- Only cover the affected area and only use a thin layer one to three times daily
- Gradually increase the applications from 1 to 3 over a period of time as dry skin may occur with excessive use straight away. Take time to cure your Acne.
- If you experience any complications make sure you consult your Doctor
Other Ways To Help Improve Acne
Food, now food does not cause Acne. According to a news report by the globe and mail.
Here is a snippet of that article, to read the full report click by Leslie Beck just click on her name.
" Today, the most compelling evidence linking food to acne revolves around foods with a high glycemic index (GI) such as white bread, refined breakfast cereals, white rice, cookies, cake and sugary drinks. One well-designed study demonstrated a significant reduction in acne when people removed high glycemic foods from their diet. High GI foods cause blood glucose and insulin to spike, which in turn, is thought to trigger a hormonal response that leads to acne.
I advise anyone with acne to cut refined (white) and sugary foods from their diet. Foods with a low GI that don't spike glucose and insulin include sprouted whole grain breads, steel cut oats, 100-per-cent bran cereal, brown rice, quinoa, pasta, legumes, nuts, apples, oranges, berries, grapes and pears."
On most of the points I agree a healthy diet can play a part in keeping your Acne at bay, that's of course when you have cleared up your Acne. Even after pointing out some of the side effects of the product I would still use the Acnezine, purely for the reason that I would be confident that it would clear my Acne.
As I mentioned before with my Psoriasis I would go to any lengths to clear it up and I have done so by using the creams. But once I got it under control, then I can use the cream in moderation. When it starts to flair up again then I start using the cream.
Can Acnezine Combat All Types of Acne Scars?
Acnezine can combat all scars caused by acne. I am afraid to say that having acne will most certainly result in some scars being evident on your body. Most people will only suffer with mild scars, some will have scars more significant. The only way to deal with this is to use Acnezine, it is by far the best product available on the market at the moment. Treating acne at its earliest stage can only benefit you, What you are doing by treating it at the earliest opportunity is minimizing the risk of scaring.
In the end Acnezine is the natural medication for acne treatment and it serves a foremost role in reducing and clearing acne.
The last thing I need to point out on this post is make sure that wherever you purchase the Acnezine from make sure it is the official website. There are a lot of websites out there that are promoting similar products and not the correct one. At least from the official site you know you will have the right product.

The potential for a $275 million deal to sell AmerCable to Nexans was announced this morning by the latter company.
Details remain slim as the deal hasn't yet been completed, said Tom Rice, marketing manager for AmerCable, an El Dorado-based manufacturer.
Currently, AmerCable's core senior management group owns the company with the help of several equity partners, Rice said. Previous to the core senior management group Associated Materials Incorporated owned AmerCable until a 1993 buyout.
He couldn't disclose what percentage of the company could be sold, how long the deal has been in the works or why the group decided to look for a buyer.
Representatives of Nexans have yet to return a call.
Look for more in tomorrow's News-Times.
UPDATE: A returned call from Rice confirmed the deal has been signed and will be effective at the end of the month.

About Feline Urgent Rescue (FUR) of the Upstate
About Our Rescue Group...
Feline Urgent Rescue (F.U.R.) of the Upstate is an all volunteer, non-profit organization founded upon the belief that the problem of homeless cats is not a problem for humans caused by cats, but a problem for cats caused by humans. Domestic cats living on their own outdoors, unlike native wildlife such as opossums and squirrels, are not able to live out their normal lifespans without human help. Homeless cats and their wild offspring are rarely able to support themselves by hunting, particularly in areas developed by humans, in which the amount of mice and other small animals available for cats to hunt is limited.The efforts of F.U.R. of the Upstate are expensive and financed mostly from the limited personal resources of the F.U.R. of the Upstate volunteers. Therefore, F.U.R. of the Upstate welcomes donations which are used exclusively for the benefit of homeless felines.
Thank you, in advance, for your support in helping us to fulfill our mission of Saving Precious Lives By Helping Homeless Cats.

Test Results
TweakTown uses a different method for testing CPU heatsinks which allows for an even playing field across all product tests. We feel that by using the same ambient temperature and strict lab-like testing procedures we are able to accurately compare one product to another. More information on our testing procedure can be found in the T.E.C.C. article here.
The Cooler Master Hyper Z600R is an efficient cooler. We can tell this by looking at how close the idle and load temperatures are held. As you can see the cooler performs well when compared to the other high end coolers we have tested over the last couple of months. A two fan setup would be enough to take this cooler to the top of our leader board.
One of the best features is the low noise associated with the Hyper Z600R. The fan is very quiet with both 7 and 12 volts. No records were broken, but it is well above average.

Town of Merton — Tom Taraska never thought he'd have to travel 1,500 miles to make the biggest decision of his life. But when Taraska and his wife, Sue, were in Miami last month, things became crystal clear for the longtime Arrowhead football coach.
"I got some clarity," Taraska said. "I knew it was time."
Time to say goodbye.
After 29 memorable seasons, Taraska announced his retirement Tuesday during a news conference at the school. Taraska, 59, also will retire from his physical education job at Arrowhead at the end of this school year.
Taraska's wife, a teacher in the Mukwonago Area School District, also is retiring next month. The two wanted to have the freedom to travel for extended periods. Taraska said the likelihood that teachers will soon have their collective bargaining rights curtailed also played a role in his decision.
"Even if I was retired from teaching, the job of a football coach never ends," Taraska said. "You probably work twice as many hours now than when I first started. I didn't think I could ever get away for a month at a time if I was still coaching. So, I just felt it was the right time."
People associate Arrowhead football with greatness today, but it wasn't always that way. In the two seasons before Taraska's arrival, the Warhawks were just 2-16.
Taraska turned Arrowhead into arguably the finest program in Wisconsin and one of the best in the country. Arrowhead won four WIAA Division 1 state championships (1993, '94, '96 and 2007) and was the runner-up five times.
At the center of it all was Taraska, a defensive wizard, an admitted film nut and a man who got the best out of his players.
"Coach T taught me a lot of valuable lessons during my time in high school," said former Arrowhead defensive tackle Nick Hayden, who's now a member of the Carolina Panthers. "He taught me how to be great, how to use my talents and how to be a great person.
"All the valuable lessons he has given me is one of the reasons why I went to a great college (Wisconsin) and then to the NFL. He has meant a lot to the program and community of Arrowhead. And I want to thank him and wish him nothing but the best."
Taraska went 248-76 (.765) during his 29 years at Arrowhead and won 11 conference championships. Remarkably, though, Taraska almost never came to Arrowhead.
Taraska went 17-20 during four seasons at Franklin and then was hired in 1982 as the head coach at Middleton. A few weeks later, though, Taraska changed his mind and accepted the position at Arrowhead instead.
"I remember crying after Middleton won the state championship (in 1983) because I never thought I'd win one," Taraska said.
Hardly. Taraska's intensity and fire helped turn the program around. And as the talent level gradually improved, the Warhawks became dominant.
Taraska, whose specialty was defense, always ran a 3-4. Taraska largely let his coordinators run the offense, although he oversaw the Warhawks' switch from the Wing-T to the veer in 2006.
"We always had a direct vision where we wanted to go," he said.
That was to the top.
Arrowhead reached the state title game in nine of the last 18 seasons, something no other Division 1 school in Wisconsin had done.
Taraska also holds the Division 1 state record with 47 postseason wins and led the Warhawks into the playoffs 20 times.
Taraska was inducted in the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2004 and was the state's coach of the year in 2007. Taraska also ranks ninth in state history in wins (265).
On Sept. 17, 2010, Arrowhead named its football stadium after Taraska.
"We brought big-time football to Wisconsin," Taraska said.
Arrowhead athletic director Kevin Flegner said the job would be posted immediately. Flegner also said he'd like to hire Taraska's replacement by July 1.
"I would think we'll have some great internal candidates," Flegner said. "We'll also test the waters and see what other candidates are available."

The Look and Feel
Taking these out of the packaging, they struck me as being very shiny, but then I realised the headband is a matt finish and really that accentuates the shiny gloss black plastic parts on the headphones themselves. It's a nice touch to see headphones looking more and more stylish, but the feel in the hand is too light; they're a little bit on the flimsy feeling side. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, as we hope to find out.
Slipping them on, they feel comfortable as socks; the padded ear-cups have a fuzzy quality that doesn't leave your head sweating like some of the leather ones.
The headband adjusts smoothly to fit any head size (unless your head is incredibly tiny, like shrunken head size) and the padding on top makes them super comfortable, too.
One of my biggest concerns with headphones usually is the head-pinch factor, where after a period of wear you begin to feel uncomfortable and start to develop a headache at the temples. These do not suffer from that pitfall thankfully. Due to their light weight design (see, I told you it was a good thing) and roomy ear-cups, the pressure is spread more evenly over a larger area.
But enough about the look and feel, what about the sound?

Ultimately, most of today will centre around Taylor Hall talk. How dirty is Taylor Hall? How many games suspension will Taylor Hall get? I'm not too sure on the first, since I don't know Taylor Hall. The only thing I know for sure about Taylor Hall is that he bears a striking resemblance to the stoner that worked electronics the summer I worked in the warehouse of a large Canadian retail chain. I don't think that on those qualifications that I know enough about Hall to discuss his personality or intentions with regard to his hit on Cal Clutterbuck Thursday night:
From this outsider angle, it looks dirty, but not malicious. The first Youtube video I saw that featured the hit had the Minnesota broadcast guys call the play a "knee-to-knee". As an aside, I don't have a job at the Mayo Clinic, but to me it looks like the principle collision point is between Hall's hip and Clutterbuck's thigh and that this isn't a traditional "knee-on-knee" play. Typically in that instance the hitter will stick his leg out into the path of a skater who has changed direction and it's more of a reflex. The ref called a kneeing major, but Clutterbuck's thigh, not his knee, was what was bandaged. Better news?
The play comes a day after Daniel Wagner wrote this:
Perception is a funny thing: the same play, player, game, or season can be viewed in thousands of different ways, depending on your frame of reference. If you're a Blackhawks fan, you're more likely to have seen Jannik Hansen's hit on Marian Hossa as intentional and malicious than if you were, say, a Canucks fan. If you thought that Matt Cooke sliced Erik Karlsson's achilles tendon with his skate on purpose, you're probably not a Penguins fan. If you find the idea laughable that lovable little Danny Briere could be called dirty, you're probably a Flyers fan.
To Minnesotans, Taylor Hall is the dirty player who knocked Jonas Brodin out for a couple of months with a pretty convincing collision between Oklahoma City and Houston during the lockout. He does, to some respect have a bit of a history with the franchise. That is just sequencing though: Hall isn't known for taking major penalties.
Since 2007, Hall has taken five major penalties, across the OHL, AHL and NHL. There was this collision with Clutterbuck, there was a fight during his rookie year with Derek Dorsett where he sprained his ankle. There where the hit on Jonas Brodin in Oklahoma City, and two OHL fights: one was in the middle of a brawl between Windsor and Sault-Ste. Marie, and the second was a game against Plymouth where a teammate tried to step in.
So that's two offences where a single major was handed out, and they both happened to come against Minnesota Wild property. Whether Taylor Hall is a "dirty player" or not, you can forgive a fan base that has had two of its best young players injured from borderline hits by the same guy, delivered late.
I'm not entirely sure what the perception of Hall was to begin with in Minnesota, but generally you don't want the first overall picks from division rival franchises to do well. I can't imagine that there are too many Oilers No. 4 jerseys being sold in the concourses of X-Cel Energy Center, but I think there may exist some mis-remembering of past events between the Wild and Hall, and every action Hall takes in a post-whistle scrum will be carefully scrutinized.
How many games will Hall be suspended?
Fortunately, I think I can comment a bit more objectively on this. I don't think that Taylor Hall will be suspended for the Oilers' game next Sunday in Minnesota. Edmonton play a Saturday matinee at home to Phoenix, then go on the road for nine straight, hooking up with the Wild over the trip. Minnesota fans will get their chance to express their displeasure, because it takes something really, really bad to get five or more games in Brendan Shanahan's book.
There were 57 suspensions last season. Kevin Porter, a first-time offender, got four for kneeing David Booth. The only other close one in this camp is Brad Marchand's five game suspension for his clip on Sami Salo. "Clipping" is defined by the NHL is "the act of throwing the body, from any direction, across or below the knees of an opponent".
Porter was a first-time offender, and Marchand wasn't. Shanahan was careful to note in his suspension video that Marchand had expressed frustration at Salo earlier in the shift. Unless Clutterbuck did something to Hall earlier in the shift I'm unaware of, I don't see how he'd have the grounds to suspend Hall for more than four games. Even that seems a little excessive. Hall's hit was decidedly higher than Salo's, and not a traditional kneeing penalty like Porter's.
So anywhere between zero and three games sounds legitimate. Adam McQuaid was fined for kneeing Nick Foligno last December. Kneeing doesn't seem to be a penalty that Brendan Shanahan has had to pay too much attention to or cares not to pay attention to. Nobody kept "kneeing" as a penalty statistic that I could find, but I can remember more than two kneeing penalties last season.
Hall has no history, has typically been a guy on the receiving end of hits rather than dishing them out. I could see where Shanahan would have grounds to merely fine Hall. I think as bleak as it looked on the ice, there's no evidence that the NHL really cares too much about this type of play, preferring instead to suspend boarding and charging calls.
We'll see, but I doubt Hall will miss too much action on this upcoming road trip.

Two of my three favorite light novel series are going to get anime adaption. The two light novels are Madan no Ou to Vanadis and Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, the announcement was made during the Media Factory's Summer School Festival 2013.
Madan no Ou to Vanadis Story Synopsis
In times of war, set in Western Europe, Eleonora Viltaria, one of the seven Vanadis of Zhcted, leads the war into Briune. There are actually seven Vanadis, named like this because they each received a powerful weapon from the dragon, to reign over 7 territories, each possessing their own. The power of the Vanadis causes dread and fear toward their enemies. An Earl in the service of the country of Briune, a young archer called Tigre, got a taste of it after he was defeated on the battlefield by Ellen (Eleonora). However, Ellen decided to spare his life after seeing his skills. In exchange, he is asked to serve Ellen…
(Taken from Baka-Tsuki)
Madan no Ou to Vanadis was first published in 2011 and currently has 7 volumes. There is no detail as when the anime adaptation will be aired, if there is any update you will hear it here at OtakuKokka.
Now we just need to wait for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei to get anime adaptation. Finger cross it will happen soon.

It's the first question that everyone asks, and rightly so. What was our favorite place on our trip to Southeast Asia? It's also a tough question to answer, and rightly so.
We pet tigers, we rode elephants, we jumped through waterfalls, and we hiked through forests. We walked through killing fields and crawled through war tunnels. We heard stories. We felt stories. We saw stories.
What was our favorite place in Southeast Asia?
I think it might have been here: Siem Reap, Cambodia. Its the home of the Angkor temples and the infamous Angkor Wat. It was the capital of the ancient Khmer empire that ruled the entire region for hundreds of years, a culture that still lives strong within the people and the country today. But it wasn't these things that made this place so special for us. Instead, what we cherish the most from this city was the "in-between-tourist-stops" stops. The places between the places to see. It was the moments and people that filled the gaps between hotels and temples and restaurants and shows that we fell in love with. So I thought I'd share just a few of those "in-between's" that we loved so much.
Our guesthouse, The Two Dragons, was located on a dirt alley off of a larger road, and this alley held so much character. Its lined with tuk-tuk "bars" (ie card tables with food and rice wine), guesthouses, shops, and our favorite restaurant with some of the best pizza we've ever had (I know right? In Cambodia.) This place could be a little slice of heaven.
Outside of The Two Dragons sits an amazing group of people. They are tuk-tuk drivers, and tuk-tuks are the Cambodian style of taxi (that's one sitting in the image above). The only thing you need to know about these guys is that they are happy. They live the simplest lives in a place where they don't have a lot, but they are so stinkin' happy. I admire them a TON. Jeff and I became really attached to these guys during our stay, especially with our driver Thul, and it was even a little emotional leaving them behind. Truly, our lives are different because of the time we spent with these men. If you want to hear more, just ask us in person; we'll probably get choked up.
This is Mr. Sith and he's helping to spruce up another guy's tuk-tuk. And this is how big he smiles, all the time. No, seriously - all the time!
Our driver, Thul, is on the left (we LOVE this guy) and Mr. Don is on the right. Mr. Don has a loud cackling laugh that cracks everyone up, and he's laughing all the time. Again, they are so dang happy... Our good friend and talented photographer Bobby Earle first told us about these guys, and you can read his story here. We'd go all the way back to Cambodia just to hang out with these guys!
The scenery around Siem Reap isn't much to look at, but the people that fill this place are lovers of life and lovers of each other. The air fairly sizzles with love and contentment around these parts.
Thul was our driver all four days we were in Siem Reap, and he would take us anywhere we wanted to go. When he realized how much we liked taking pictures, he would pull to the side of the road and show us around. Places like a roadside stand with homemade coconut sugar...
or a coca-cola stand and rice paddy...
or the local gas station...
or the guy with pigs on his scooter. Ha!
Spending four days with Thul and getting to know his story and his country was something we'll never forget and we'll always cherish. There is so much more we could share here - seriously, we took 11,000 images on our two month trip - but there's only so much that words can express. So I'll let Thul do the talking...
But before I sign off, I have to share one of my favorite images - the tuk-tuk parking. Its just makes me smile.

I wonder if more will follow and whether the equity deal allows them to post lots of vids from those companies or still requires them to remove the offending material.
It will be interesting to see whether it will retain all of its users if its starts to remove lots of clips (especially when they are other less selective sites).

//I promise no more Wham! comments
There are a lot of Japanese hilarious videos of very practical jokes... I remember one in a sort of snow ski station. The guys were sitting in a supposedly massage chair, then all of the sudden the chair turned up to the wall, the wall opend, the chair turned on a engine or something and the guy got threw the wall to ski several hundred of meters wearing nothing more than a towel!
No wait, I remember more now. Due the speed I remember a couple of guys even lost the towel! So, they were going down the hill at 60mph, at freezing temperture and nude! And the most strange, must of them were laughing down the road! Well, I guess you have nothing else to do in that situation ...
I'm still not sure why Google wanted this thing.
Neither do I. The only reason I go there is to watch "pirated" TV shows.
Once they get cut, what's left?
Because Google has enough money to be a target for being sued, but YouTube on its own didn't.
Google knows if people did sue them successfully over copyright infringement due to videos on YouTube, and they had to pay out compensation, it would open the floodgates for everyone who has any kind of copyright over a video posted without their permission on YouTube.
Nothing like a slice of - The Weekenders The Meat Festival - as well ;)
If you let Youtube make money off pirated content (that's basically what it is doing), why don't I just take content, edit in a short ad for my company at the end, and post it. Then Youtube and me are making money and the original content maker is making nothing. Sure, people say they are gaining exposure but exposure is "theoretical money" The money me and youtube made off off them is real.
This can't last forever no matter what kind of deals are made. The deals would have to be too complex in the current wild west model of Youtube.
Evetnually each media company will have it's own on-demand video portal and sites like youtube will be forgotten.
IMhO the media companies would do better to cut a deal with Youtube to distribute their content through YouTube and create money for themselves that way.
I'm watching the Full Metal Alchemist episodes now through Youtube, but I'd pay to be able to watch them full-screen, high-quality. For a fair price, of course.

To fully leverage the capacity of our network of practitioners, MAS's global network connects our members with each other and with other international networking efforts that support city resilience and livability. Together we are identifying opportunities to significantly scale our efforts and impact, by creating in-person regional meetings and consultations, a digital platform for sharing approaches/practices/challenges, and webinars and learning events.
The network hosts webinars monthly and will soon launch its interactive digital platform. Sign up for our newsletter by sending an email to email@example.com with the subject line 'Global' and check back on this page for news and updates.

New Speaker Series to Foster Conversation among Faculty, Graduate Students
Initiating dialogue and idea exchange among faculty members and with graduate students is the goal of a new internal speaker series, "Conversations in and out of Disciplines," hosted by the English Department, starting November 21 and continuing through the spring. All faculty and graduate students are invited.
The concept was conceived by Professor Ann Colley during an English Department meeting in which the discussion turned to the growing number of new faculty members, their diverse talents and perspectives, and how to best get everyone talking.
"So rarely do faculty have a chance to speak at leisure with one another about their research and work in progress. And so rarely do our graduate students have the opportunity to listen to and participate in our discussions about our own research," said Colley.
While the initial group of speakers is largely from the English Department, the vision is to reach beyond the boundaries of the department and invite faculty from other programs to come and share their thoughts.
"The study of literature and the study of teaching is more often than not a multidisciplinary endeavor, so we should honor that perspective in the series," Colley added.
To jump-start the series, Colley approached faculty members who are about to publish or have recently published major works. She also contacted individuals who are not only doing research on literature and culture but who are also researching new ways of teaching students to become secondary school teachers. The series, however, is not invitation only; it is open to anyone wanting to talk about his or her work.
As much as possible, the lectures will be Friday afternoons. "In this way, we are not pressured to leave because of our classroom responsibilities. It should be a leisurely hour and a half. And afterward, we can retreat and socialize," Colley said.
Two speaker presentations are scheduled for this semester. Each will be from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in Ketchum Hall:
November 21
Chris Vials, assistant professor of English, presents a talk on his recent book, Realism for the Masses: Aesthetics, Popular-Front Pluralism, and U.S. Culture, 1935–1947. Vials received his Ph.D. in American literature from the University of Massachusetts.
December 5
Adrienne Costello, assistant professor of English, discusses "Teaching Shakespeare through Arts Integration and Comic Book Composing." Associate professor of English Lisa Berglund joins the presentation for a discussion on "Team Teaching and Interdisciplinary Collaboration." Costello received her Ph.D. in English education from the University at Buffalo. Berglund joined the English Department faculty in 2001. She received her Ph.D. in British literature from the University of Virginia.
Highlights for the spring semester include:
Lorna L. Perez, Assistant Professor of English
"Between Winesburg and the Barrio: Sherwood Anderson and Sandra Cisneros." Perez received her Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo and is a specialist in Latino/Latina literature.
David Ben-Merre, Assistant Professor of English
"Vowel Movements and Boustrophedonic Droppings: On Joycean BS." Ben-Merre is a specialist in twentieth-century British literature and recently received his Ph.D. in British literature from Brown University.
Theresa A. Harris-Tigg, Assistant Professor of English and Coordinator of the English Education Program
"Teaching a Methods Course on Site." Harris-Tigg received her Ph.D. in English Education from the University at Buffalo.
Frances M. Gage, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts
"Collecting and Arranging Collections in the Italian Renaissance." Gage comes to Buffalo State from the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.
Details will be posted in the Daily prior to each event. For more information, including participation as a speaker, e-mail Ann Colley.

starsA new processor leads to less noise at higher ISOs and faster performance, and built-in...
There aren't a lot of options if you want a compact camera with a long zoom lens and powered by AA batteries. Even fewer if you want that camera to be somewhat pocketable. In fact, outside of the Nikon Coolpix L610, there's really only one other current model, the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS.
The SX160 IS' advantages over the Nikon are that it has a lot more shooting options, including semimanual and manual modes, and a slightly longer lens (though the L610 starts wider). Also, the Canon can zoom while shooting movies; the Nikon is limited to digital zoom. But if you don't plan to leave auto mode much and the other two aren't deal breakers, the L610 might be the better choice.
Though picture quality isn't spectacular from either, the L610's backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor provides slightly better low-light results, and shooting performance is a touch better, too. It's also a smaller and lighter camera (though the SX160 feels better-constructed).
With both models currently available for around the same price of $150, it really comes down to what matters most to you in features and photo and video quality.
Picture quality
For its price and features, the Coolpix L610 shoots a bit above its class. However, that still means it does its best work outdoors under good lighting, especially if you're using the zoom lens. There's noise visible even at its lowest ISOs when photos are viewed at full size, but detail is very good up to ISO 200.
Color, white balance, and exposure are generally good, too, so, again, as long as you give it plenty of light, you'll get nice results. Going up to ISO 400 and above, photos get a little less usable at larger sizes because noise and noise reduction ramp up.
Though you can set the sensitivity up to ISO 3200, Auto ISO stops at ISO 1600 (and for good reason, since ISO 3200 looks pretty bad). However, the L610 will significantly slow shutter speeds before it starts to use ISO 800 or above. That means if you're shooting indoors or in low light, you may end up with blurry photos before you ever have to worry about noise or smeary details from noise reduction.
Video quality is good with results that are basically in line with its photos: the more light you have, the better the results. Expect more noise and softness the less light you have. Audio quality is OK, and again, the optical zoom doesn't work while recording.
Shooting performance
Editors' note: We recently updated our testing methodology to gauge slightly more real-world performance, so the results aren't necessarily comparable with previous testing. Until we're finished refining our procedures, we will not be posting comparative performance charts.
Most lower-end cameras as well as those powered by AA batteries aren't speedy, but the L610 fared better than most. The camera's CMOS sensor helps keep shooting speeds tolerable, but it can feel slow when shooting indoors or with the lens fully extended.
