Those who object to President Barack Obama's recent prisoner exchange raise a bracing question: How many Taliban terrorists is one freed U.S. soldier worth?
That question lies at the heart of the backlash that President Obama has received after doing what many of his critics have been urging him to do: take action to free U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who has been held prisoner by the Taliban for the past five years.

There's a new trend in American politics. Call it the "Benghazi Syndrome." It used to be, when our nation was attacked, as on September 11, Americans rallied behind the president and said: "Let's go get the guys who did this to us." No longer. When terrorists attacked our consulate in Benghazi, Republicans decided to play politics instead: "Let's see how we can blame this on President Obama."
Maybe it's me, but the predictable right-wing cries of outrage over the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rules on carbon seem oddly muted and unfocused. I mean, these are the people who managed to create national outrage over nonexistent death panels. Now the Obama administration is doing something that really will impose at least some pain on some people. Where are the eye-catching fake horror stories?
Let's talk about tax reform.
Come back! This is going to be really interesting. Or at least I will try to trick you into feeling that it's interesting by making copious references to popular culture.
I began writing about the NCAA 2 1/2 years ago, more or less by accident. Assigned by The New York Times Magazine to imagine a scheme in which athletes in the revenue sports - football and men's basketball - get paid, I was awakened for the first time to inequities in the world of big-time college sports. Of course I knew that the coaches were getting rich while the players were getting nothing; everybody knew that. But I didn't think that much about it. Neither did most fans, I would venture to guess.
Among Americans age 40 and older, there's a pastime more popular than football, Candy Crush or HBO.
It's bashing millennials.
Oh, the hours of fun we have, marveling at their self-fascination and gaping at their sense of entitlement! It's been an especially spirited romp lately, as a new batch of them graduate from college and gambol toward our cubicles, prompting us to wonder afresh about the havoc they'll wreak on our world.
When politicians have trouble spinning their own glories, that's a problem.
So it was bizarre that Hillary Rodham Clinton, asked at a forum in April about her legacy at the State Department, had trouble articulating it. That feeds into a narrative - awaiting her memoir Tuesday - that she may have been glamorous as secretary of state but didn't actually accomplish much.
When it comes to dealing with the world's climate and energy challenges I have a simple rule: change America, change the world.
In the last chapter, I covered how not to get high. In this one, I will cover how to get high.
After my admission that I did a foolish thing in Denver - failing to realize that consuming a single square, about a quarter, of a pot candy bar was dicey for an edibles virgin - many in the pot industry upbraided me for doing a foolish thing.
But some in Mary Jane world have contacted me to say that my dysphoria (i.e., bummer) is happening more and more in Colorado.
There were many poignant moments in President Obama's speech in Normandy commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day. But two sentences he spoke at what he called "democracy's beachhead" seemed especially resonant back home.
"Whenever the world makes you cynical, stop and think of these men," Obama said. "Whenever you lose hope, stop and think of these men."

Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011 - page 5
Hi all! I just wanted to get a thread started for those who plan on applying to Vanderbilt's prespecialty (for non-nurses) MSN program. I only recently discovered this program about 2 months ago... Read More
0Jan 6, '11 by T-DashaYea I did receive an email. It was kind of a bummer to get that email because I live in Georgia now. So when I saw that Georgia was one of the places in which we could not do our specialty year I was definitely let down. So I decided that if I get accepted then I'll move back home to Louisiana and do my specialty year there.
What about you? How did you respond to the email? -
0Jan 12, '11 by nikki164@TDasha:
Well, I just kind of said that I am fortunate enough to have flexibility in where I do my specialty year, so if it comes down to a space issue, I will do whatever they need me to do, basically. (Obviously, I didn't say it like that)
Currently, I live in Nashville and I just moved year only a year ago to live with my boyfriend of 5 years who is a 3rd year at Vandy med. He'd apply to residency in the city and surrounding area of where I decide to go for my specialty year. Its just sad because I've gotten super comfortable in Nashville and made our home a real home. I'd hate to pick up and leave again, but oh well!Last edit by nikki164 on Jan 12, '11 : Reason: directing it to a person -
0Jan 19, '11 by jenna88Hi all,
I know I am jumping in a bit late on this conversation. Applied on Dec 1st for pre-specialty entry into the WHNP program. I read in some article how the 2010 class had an average GPA of 3.3 and a 1070 GRE? This seemed low to me but sure made me feel better!!
Dreading waiting another ~2 months! -
0Jan 20, '11 by jenna88I saw it about 3-4 months ago- It was a legitimate article published by some organization at Venderbilt- I wanna say the school newspaper of college of nursing newsletter. I just googled and it came up but now I cannot find it to save my life- really weird... But yeah like I said I was shocked by those stats
0Jan 21, '11 by bluetonboYes I just got an email requesting a telephone interview as well - I applied for the Family NP program. I felt I was pretty comprehensive in my written interview response, so I'm not sure what else they would need to ask. I called the school to get more info on this and how best to prepare but just received an email response indicating "there is no advanced preparation for this interview." Thoughts, anyone?

She's a superstar
Q. I have a superstar on my team but the other team members hate her. What should I do?
Do you know which one you're dealing with? Interviewing team members and discussing the situation with them discreetly will help you understand their issues with your practice's star. The next step is to consider whether these issues are valid, make sense, and are more than just the result of personality quirks. If so, start counseling your staff about working as a true team. Coach for the behaviors you want: professionalism, respect, giving positive feedback to each another, and offering and asking for support. Your team members also need someone to let them know that they can all be superstars, Grosdidier says. And they need a leader who can share a clear vision of what the hospital can achieve for pets, clients, and the team. |

So here's the backstory - just got my hands on my Cwp last week and have started carrying pretty much whereever I can legally carry.
I went to a seminar at a local hotel where a meeting room was rented out. I know that I can't carry when going to places like applebees cause of the bar however how does that play into say a hotel w a resturant/lounge.
Been to the hotel a number of times and never thought much of it - till the added weight on my right hip made me stop and pause right before I was about to walk over to the bar to get a cup of coffee before the seminar.
So does anyone have any insight? Does the br make the whole hotel off limits to carry?
Just something that made me stop and wonder about that.

Patrolling Manchester's gang flashpoints
Certain streets in Manchester are seen as flashpoints for gang violence and in recent months there have been concerns about raised tensions.
In an attempt to keep those areas calm Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is making sure officers from Xcalibre are a visible presence.
Xcalibre is GMP's specialist unit tackling gun and gang-related crime.
The walls of its office are covered in mugshots of suspects, grouped together under the names of their gangs - the Rusholme Cripz, the Fallowfield Mad Dogs and the Moss Side Bloods, among others.
"We've had a number of incidents where we have had tit-for-tat fights," says Det Sgt Robert Cousen.
"One gang will go into opposing territory. That then sets up tensions because the opposing gang will want some form of retribution.
"That's why we have Operation Cougar going on at the moment - to make sure those tensions don't get out of hand."
Preventing violenceHe and his officers drive around in unmarked cars keeping close watch on places where they know gang members meet - deliberately stopping to speak to many of them.
Det Sgt Robert Cousen of GMP
"We have taken a massive amount of guns off the streets.
"The result of that is the gangs don't have the weapons they used to have and that is why we have had such a reduction in gang activity.
"There is also a lot of work going on in terms of education, getting into schools when children are very young... educating them that there is no kudos with being attached to a gang and it is only going to cause them problems in the future.
"It is important that we get intelligence from the community because that is the only way we can deal with the issues... We are not saying that everybody is a gang member - far, far from it.
"We are out there so that people can see us - so they can feel happy and comfortable speaking to.
"That way if there are any tensions or any problems they can tell us, and we can deal with them before they become a big issue."
Their aim is not only to find people responsible for causing trouble but stopping any from occurring in the first place.
In Greater Manchester there are obvious reminders of the problem.
In Moss Side a window shattered by a bullet. In Wythenshawe flowers at the side of the road for a murder victim.
From today police forces in England and Wales have a new weapon designed to prevent gang-related violence.
Gang injunctions are very similar to Asbos - so much so that some have already nicknamed them "Gangbos".
Like anti-social behaviour orders, they are a civil tool requiring a much lower standard of proof than a criminal conviction, but breaching them could lead to a fine or even jail.
The court can use an injunction to stop people from doing a wide range of things - from wearing gang-associated colours to associating with other known members.
In practice Asbos have been used in exactly the same way.
'It will never stop'In Hulme, just outside the city centre, I met Callum who was given an Asbo after he got into a fight with someone involved in a gang.
The conditions of the order prevent him from going to certain areas, covering his face or meeting some of his friends.
"I am not a gang member but I do chill with gang members", says the 17-year-old, who is cynical about whether the new injunctions will have any effect.
"One gang hates another gang - they just don't get on.
"It will never stop... unless they all go to jail. That is the only way of tackling it."
The injunctions are being introduced on the day Giuseppe Gregory would have turned 18.
He was killed two years ago in a gang-related shooting.
His father James has now set up a campaign group called Fathers Against Violence.
He believes the new legislation will have a limited effect and that the government needs to address the root causes of gang culture.
"There are social issues which we face in communities across Manchester and you can be drawn into a certain way of living," James Gregory insists.
"For many in gang life there is no exit strategy. When you are in it, you are in it."
Badge of honourThe government argues the crucial difference between gang injunctions and Asbos is that they do not just stop someone from doing something.
They can also require them to take part in rehabilitation programmes.
However, there are campaigners worried that injunctions will be seen as a proof of gang membership - just as Asbos were viewed by some as a badge of honour.
"When we've gone into schools, including junior schools, and asked if anyone is in a gang they all put their hands up," says Patsy McKie of Mothers Against Violence.
"We are finding that children aged eight and nine are talking about gangs and saying they are in gangs.
"I think that is what we need to be looking at - why would children want to be in a gang?"
A sign of that concern may be reflected in the government's plans.
Initially gang injunctions are only for suspected members aged 18 or over.
In the spring there are plans for a pilot scheme that would see the injunctions served against youths as young as 14.

November 2014 Dear Brookings Harbor High School parents, students, and community members: November brings with it a sense of hope and optimism about the work we are doing at Brookings Harbor High School. Our students have completed Quarter 1 and have stepped up to the higher expectations in behavior and academics of Bruin PRIDE. BHHS students are Persevering with their studies, showing Respect for themselves, their peers, and their teachers. Students are learning about acting with Integrity, doing the right thing, and owning their successes as well as their mistakes. Our students are learning how to embrace Diversity when it comes to valuing the differences we all bring to school. And finally, Excellence is a value our students know we expect from them—Excellence in their school work and their participation in the Brookings Harbor High School community. Please know that we will work together in the students' best interests. I know we can all make a positive difference that will result in higher numbers of students being successful and graduating to moving on to productive and meaningful lives.
August 2014
I have started work and look forward to continuing the good work that is happening at Brookings-Harbor High School thanks to the dedication and commitment of the hardworking teachers and staff. As I learn about the school and larger community, I want to invite students, parents, teachers, staff, and community members to drop by and visit. I have an open door policy and look forward to listening and learning from you.
I have outlined a few of priorities below. This list is growing, though, so I will update soon!
Proficiency grading continues to be a priority. As is common with change, kinks and bumps were felt by all last year as the district began the shift to proficiency-based grading. District and building administration are committed to ensuring the grading system is set up in a user-friendly and efficient manner at the start of the new school year. We will continue to engage in trainings and educational discussions to ensure we are implementing proficiency grading a manner that is consistent for teachers and students.
Aligning curriculum to Common Core and creating maps by subject area will be emphasized in Wednesday professional development time. Teachers will be provided the time, resources, and training to work together in their Professional Development Communities.
Essential Skills and Graduation Rates: With the new graduation requirements tied to Essential Skills and Smarter Balance testing, schedules and course offerings will need to continue to change to reflect the new standards our students must meet.
Freshmen on Track: With our new Bruin Freshman Lab, we will focus on teaching freshmen the skills they need to develop in order to successfully finish high school and go on to college and career.
College Career Ready: By 2025, the state has set a goal referred to as the 40-40-20 goal. In a nutshell, this means that 40 percent of high school students will graduate from a four-year university; 40 percent will graduate with an Associate's degree or a professional/vocational certificate; and 20 percent of students will graduate from high school. District and school initiatives will support this effort. More to come on this!
High School writing scores dipped down this year. I will work with teachers to create a strong program of Writing Across the Curriculum. This will mean that every student in every class will be writing to common core standards every month with various writing tasks that teachers create in their subject area. More to come on this, as well!
Don't forget to stop by and say hello. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to ensure our students have every opportunity to be successful citizens.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and last of the terrestrial planets. Like the rest of the planets in the solar system (except Earth), Mars is named after a mythological figure – the Roman god of war. In addition to its official name, Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet due to the color of its brownish-red surface. Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system behind Mercury.
Size of Mars compared to the Earth
Facts about Mars
- Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and last of the terrestrial planets and is around 227,940,000 km from the Sun.
- Mars is named after the Roman god of war. It was known to the ancient Greeks as Ares, their god of war. This is thought to be because of the blood-red color of the planet which was also used by other ancient cultures. Chinese astronomers call Mars the "fire star" while ancient Egyptian priests called it "Her Desher" meaning "the red one".
- Mars and Earth have similar landmass. Despite Mars being just 15% the volume and 10% the mass of Earth, it actually has a similar landmass because around 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water. The surface gravity of Mars is about 37% the gravity found on Earth. This means you could in theory jump three times higher on Mars than on Earth.
- Only 16 of the 39 missions to Mars have been successful. Beginning with the USSR's Marsnik 1 which was launched in 1960, 39 orbiters, landers and rovers have been to Mars but only 16 of those missions were a success. In 2016, Europe's Exobiology on Mars program will search the planet for signs of Martian life as well as study the surface and terrain of the planet and map potential environmental hazards to future manned missions to Mars.
- Pieces of Mars have been found on Earth. It is believed that trace amounts of the Martian atmosphere were within meteorites that the planet ejected. These meteorites then orbited the solar system for millions of years amongst the other objects and solar debris before eventually entering the Earth's atmosphere and crashing to the ground. The study of this material has allowed scientists to discover more about Mars before launching space missions.
- Mars was once believed to be home to intelligent life. This came from the discovery of lines or grooves in the surface called canali by Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. He believed that these were not naturally occurring and were proof of intelligent life. However, these were later shown to be an optical illusion.
- The tallest mountain on a planet is found on Mars. Olympus Mons is a 21 km high and 600 km diameter shield volcano that was formed billions of years ago. Evidence of volcanic lava flows is so recent that scientists believe it may still be active. It is the second highest mountain in the entire solar system, topped only by the Rheasilvia central peak on the asteroid Vesta, which is 22 km high.
- Mars experiences the largest dust storms in the solar system. This is due to the elliptical shape of the planet's orbit path around the Sun – it is more elongated and oval shaped than most other planets – and the result is fierce dust storms that cover the entire planet and can last for many months.
- From Mars the Sun appears at around half the size it does on Earth. When the planet is closest to the Sun, the southern hemisphere leans toward the Sun and this causes a very short but intensely hot summer – while in the north it experiences a brief but cold winter. When the planet is at its farthest from the Sun, the northern hemisphere points towards the Sun and this gives a long and mild summer, compared with a lengthy, cold winter in the south.
- With the exception of Earth, Mars is the most hospitable to life – a number of space missions are planning for the next decade the further increase our understanding of Mars and when it has the potential for extraterrestrial life, as well as whether it may be a viable planet for a colony.
- Martians, also known as extraterrestrials from Mars, are a common character in science fiction books and movies. This makes Mars one of the most popular and talked about planets in the solar system.
- It takes Mars 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun with its orbit radius of 227,840,000 km.
- Mars is the only other planet besides Earth that has polar ice caps. The northern cap is called the Planum Boreum, with Planum Australe in the south. Water ice has also been found under the Martian ice caps.
- Mars has seasons like Earth, but they last twice as long. This is because Mars is tilted on its axis by about 25.19 degrees, which is similar to the axial tilt of the Earth (22.5 degrees).
- The orbit of Mars is the most eccentric of the eight planets. This means it is the least circular orbit path of the planets.
- The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, were written about in the book 'Gulliver's Travels' by author Jonathan Swift – 151 years before they were discovered.
- Mars does not have a magnetic field – although there are some scientists that believe it did have a magnetic field somewhere around 4 billion years ago.
More information and facts about Mars
It was believed life existed on Mars for much of the nineteenth century. The reason behind this belief was part mistake and part imagination. In 1877, the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli observed what he believed to be straight lines on Mars' surface. As others noticed these lines, some suggested that they were too straight and could only be the work of intelligent life. The popular conclusion as to the nature of these lines was that they were canals constructed for irrigation purposes. However, with the development of more powerful telescopes in the early twentieth century, astronomers were able to view the Martian surface more clearly and determine that these straight lines were merely an optical illusion. As a result, the earlier claims of life on Mars were without evidence and, therefore, discarded.
The large amount of science fiction written during the twentieth century was a direct outgrowth of the belief that Mars possessed life. From little green men to death rays, Martians were the focus of many television and radio programs, comic books, movies, and novels.
Although the discovery of Martian life in the eighteenth century eventually proved to be false, Mars is nonetheless the planet most hospitable for life other than the Earth. As such, recent planetary missions have tried to determine if even the most basic of life exists on the planet's surface. The Viking mission in the 1970s conducted experiments on the Martian soil in hopes of detecting microorganisms. While it was initially believed that the formation of compounds during the experiments were a result of biological agents, it has since been determined that these compounds can be created without biological mechanisms.
Even though the results lean toward the absence of life on Mars, scientists have speculated that conditions are right for life to exist beneath the planet's surface. Future planetary missions scheduled to test the possibility of past and present life include the Mars Science Laboratory and ExoMars missions.
The composition of Mars' atmosphere is extremely similar to Venus', one of the least hospitable atmospheres in all of the Solar System. The main component in both atmospheres is carbon dioxide (95% for Mars, 97% for Venus), yet a runaway greenhouse effect has taken hold of Venus, producing temperatures in excess of 480° C, while temperatures on Mars never exceed 20° C. Thus, something other than the composition is at work. The huge difference lies in the density of the two atmospheres. Whereas Venus' atmosphere is exceedingly thick, Mars' is quite thin. Simply put, Mars would resemble Venus if it possessed a thicker atmosphere.
Additionally, with such a thin atmosphere, the resulting atmospheric pressure is only about 1% of that found at sea level on Earth. That is the equivalent pressure found at 35 km above the Earth's surface.
One of the long standing areas of research regarding the Martian atmosphere is its impact on the presence of liquid water. What the research has shown is that even though the polar caps possess frozen water and the air contains water vapor—as a result of the freezing temperatures and low pressure caused by the weak atmosphere—it is not possible for liquid water to exist on the planet's surface. However, evidence provided by planetary missions suggests liquid water does exist one meter below the planet's surface.
Surprisingly, despite the thin atmosphere, Mars experiences weather patterns. The primary form of this weather consists of winds, with other manifestations that include dust storms, frost, and fog. As a result of this weather, some erosion has been seen to take place at particular locations on the planet's surface.
As a final note on the Martian atmosphere, leading theories claim that it may have once been dense enough to support large oceans of water. However, through some means in the planet's past the atmosphere was drastically altered. One popular explanation for this change is that Mars was struck by a large body and in the process a large portion of its atmosphere was ejected into space.
The surface of Mars can be separated into two broad features, which, coincidentally, are divided by the planet's hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is seen to be relatively smooth with few craters, whereas the southern hemisphere is an area of highlands that are more heavily cratered than the northern plains. Other than topographical differences, the distinguishing feature of the two regions appears to be geological activity, with the northen plains being much more active.
The Martian surface is home to both the largest known volcano, Olympus Mons, and largest known canyon, Valles Marineris, in the Solar System. With a height of 25 km and a base diameter of 600 km, Olympus Mons is three times the height of Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on the Earth. Valles Marineris is 4,000 km long, 200 km wide, and almost 7 km deep. To put the shear magnitude of its size into perspective, Valles Marineris would stretch from the East to West coast of the United States.
Perhaps the most significant discovery regarding the Martian surface was the presence of channels. What is so meaningful about these channels is that they appear to have been created by running water, and thus providing evidence to support the theory that Mars could have been much more similar to the Earth at one time.
A surface feature that has remained in popular culture since its image surfaced is the "Face on Mars." When this photograph was captured by the Viking I spacecraft in 1976, many took it to be proof that alien life existed on Mars. However, subsequent images showed that lighting (and a little imagination) are what brought life to the formation.
Similar to the other terrestrial planets, Mars' interior is divided into three layers: a crust, mantle, and core.
Although precise measurements cannot be made, scientists can make predictions as to the thickness of the planet's crust based on the depth of Valles Marineris. Such a deep, extensive valley system, located in the southern hemisphere, could not be present unless the crust there is significantly thicker than the Earth's. Estimates put its thickness in the northern hemisphere at 35 km, and 80 km in the southern hemisphere.
Mercury's core is believed to be approximately 3,000 km in diameter and composed primarily of iron. There is a significant amount of research being conducted to determine whether or not Mars' core is solid. Some scientists point to the lack of a significant magnetic field as an indication that the core is solid. However, within the past decade much data has been gathered to indicate that the core is at least partially liquid. With the discovery of magnetized rocks on the planet's surface, it appears, at the very least, that Mars did possess a liquid core at some point in its history.
Orbit & Rotation
The orbit of Mars is noteworthy for three reasons. First, its eccentricity is second largest among all the planets, smaller only than Mercury's. As a result of this more elliptical orbit, Mars' perihelion of 2.07 x 108 km is much larger than its aphelion of 2.49 x 108 km. Second, evidence suggests that this high degree of eccentricity has not always been present, and it may have been less than the Earth's at some point in Mars' history. The cause for this change is attributed to the gravitational forces exerted upon Mars by neighboring planets. Third, of all the terrestrial planets, Mars is the only one having a year that lasts longer than the Earth's. This, of course, is due to its orbital distance. One Martian year is equal to almost 686 Earth days.
It takes Mars about 24 hours 40 minutes to complete one full rotation, easily making the Martian day the closest in length to an Earth day.
At roughly 25°, Mars' axial tilt is yet another similarity the planet shares with Earth. What this means is Mars actually experiences seasons like those on Earth, though each is substantially longer because of the orbital distance of Mars. Unlike the Earth, however, Mars' two hemispheres experience quite different temepratures for each season. This is due to the much larger eccentricity of the planet's orbit.

Reviewed Buttered Turnip Puree
Dec 19, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"We had a bunch of turnips in the pantry and I thought we'd just use this dish as a throw-away - if people liked it, great, if not, oh well. I also had some parsnips, so I used those, too, to sweeten the turnips up. After the turnips cooked, I baked some of them in the oven to dry them out - otherwise, this dish would have been too wet (liquid-y)...."

"As usual, it doesn't work in exactly the same way, but what the fly does is let us find genes that are involved in the process, and then go figure out exactly how they are rewired to work in the human. The fly is really good for prospecting."

Get An Exclusive First Listen Of Your New Fave Girl Group, The Rosso Sisters's Debut Single Hola Hola
If you're addicted to Little Mix and everything Demi Lovato, you have got to listen up because there's a new girl group coming on the scene you're going to go loca over. They're called The Rosso Sisters, and the four half-British, half-Latina sisters, have serious amounts of energy.
You may remember Becky and Milly from their guest-starring roles on the Disney channel—they went to a live taping of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and were scouted by a producer right there! They appeared in seven episodes of the show, and then went on to star in the TV movie, Legally Blondes.
When the four sisters wanted to seriously get into singing, the same go-for-it attitude helped the girls land a record deal! "We walked into Capitol records and walked out with a record deal that day," Lola says. "They wanted to sign us on the spot and so 12 hours later, we left the building with a contract," Becky adds.
Now, the girls are exclusively premiering the lyric video for their first single, "Hola Hola," right here! The song is the PERF jam for getting into summer mode. You're going to want to blast it on every car trip for sure. "It's a really fun, upbeat, summer song," Becky says. "It's about boys because we're all really boy crazy!"
The sisters are all single and best friends, but they have very different taste in boys. "Basically I'm a hopeless romantic and my boyfriends right now are Ben & Jerry!" Georgina, the oldest, jokes.
The girls are going on tour with Demi in Latin America this spring, and you're sure to see more of them in the future as they drop more tracks. In the meantime, have a happy Cinco de Mayo and get ready to be singing "Hola Hola" ALL day long!
Check out the exclusive premiere of the lyric video for The Rosso Sisters's first single "Hola Hola below.

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.

As our dear old grandmothers used to say: give a child half a house brick and a piece of string and he'll keep himself happy 'til the cows come home. Hmm. Nice try Granny, but that's not going to cut it for 21st century kids - especially not during Half Term. In the era of constant consoles, incessant internet, frequent Facebook and ceaseless smartphones, mums and dads have to provide a bit more than a chunk of discarded masonry and some ratty old twine if they're going to keep their offspring properly entertained during the school hols.

Rollover accident on Harbor Bridge messes morning commute
Only one lane into Corpus Christi from Portland
CORPUS CHRISTI - A rollover accident on the Harbor Bridge combined with construction road closures to reduce the three-lane bridge to one for Thursday morning drivers heading to Corpus Christi from the Portland area.
Corpus Christi police were called to the rollover after 8 a.m. and closed the left lane of the bridge for the accident. Texas Department of Transportation officials said the right lane of the bridge was already closed for ongoing construction work on the bridge. As of 9 a.m., the accident was cleared but another accident on state highway 181 near the Burleson Road exit just before 9 a.m. added to the traffic tie-ups.

Watched the game again this morning;
-Both Jones and Watson had a chance to shine. Both came up with goose eggs. Jones with a drop. Have to think the PAts are looking outside for a TE. Whats up with Keller??
-Beauharnis and Anderson both unimpressive
-thought Halapio showed well. saw him in practice and he did not look good. I thought he played well on some running plays
-Fleming is really big, but nice feet. Maybe in 3 years the Pats have their starting T with him
-watching Buchanon in practice I thought he showed really well, winning many one on one battles against the OL. Last night he reverted back to form, zero edge containment
-I thought Boyce showed well last night. he has really good hands IMO. I still really like him.
-poor OL play much of the night, but the RB's simply never showed up?? do they want to make the team? Finch showed why he was here, and also showed why he wont stay here
-I was disappointed in Kline's play. I expected better
-I give a lot of credit to the posters here. we have been pointing to some holes on this team. TE depth. Raw OL players. No cover LB's. DT depth in case of injury. watching last night, this board was spot on in their assessment.

Guided tours launched to make sightseeing in Madurai hassle-free
Next time you want to go around Madurai city, simply dial for a guided tour. In order to make sightseeing more convenient, personalised and hassle-free for tourists and locals, The Madurai Sightseeing Company along with Travel Club, has launched two new buses exclusively designed keeping in mind the comfort level of travellers. "Often, people end up in trouble with autowallahs and rickshaw-wallahs. We thought of making the sightseeing experience more memorable and pleasurable for every visitor to the city," says Sundar, the organizer. He says that the inspiration came from London city buses. "The bright red colour of the London buses attracted us. Almost every heritage city in our country has a guided tour. We have branded our buses with typical cultural images of the city."
Painted with the images of the Meenakshi temple gopuram, Kallazhagar's horse mount and the famous arches of the Thirumalai Naick Palace, the bright red buses look every bit quirky and funky. "With comfortable interiors and ample seating capacity, it's sure to provide a joyride to customers. They will be given a welcome-kit that includes a brochure about the places to visit, a water bottle and some snacks. There will be a tour guide in each bus. We will also be selling merchandise like t-shirts branded with our logo," informs Sundar. "Apart from foreign tourists, even family guests and corporate tourists can also hire the buses. Each tour will include one hour of shopping at select outlets." The company has also created a website www.maduraisightseeing.com that gives information on all the famous and lesser-known places in and around Madurai.
Says Mustafa, President of Travel Club, "Previously, tourists used to spend two nights in the temple town but that has come down these days. People are cutting short their stay in the city. Most of them spend just a night while some stay here for half a day."
Dr. G. Vasudevan, Director, Hotel Fortune Pandiyan, explains, "The reason for this is most tourists just visit the temple and the palace. Nothing else of Madurai is known or is shown to them. We should exhibit more of our city to outsiders like the way Kerala showcases its products and promotes itself." He adds that many of the other historical places around Madurai like the Jain monuments are hardly known and seen by tourists. "Only if we promote these places, we can prolong the tourists' stay in Madurai."
Hoteliers, travel agents, tour operators and tour guides congregated at the launch of the bus service and vouched their support to the project. "This is a thoughtful initiative and a package popularly designed for tourists. In guided tours, tourists don't get cheated by local vendors and hawkers. They get to shop the authentic items from accredited handicrafts showrooms," says a tour guide. "Moreover, it's easier to monitor for the guides. Also, organized tours make job easy for the police to later investigate in cases of crimes. After all, no outsider should feel bad about our city while leaving."
The members of Travel Club urged that the shops at Pudumandapam should be shifted to the chatram, and the mandapam be made a museum and that cultural programmes can be staged to attract tourists. It was also pointed out that ample parking space for the vehicles should be provided in congested areas near the temple and the palace. There was discussion on developing entertainment cities on the outskirts and making Madurai a much sought-after destination among both domestic and foreign tourists.
Hop into the bus for a half day tour at Rs. 400 and a whole day trip comes for Rs.800. So, if you are up for a ritualistic ride in the tour buses, just dial 89390 39000

Dennis Yost, the lead singer for the group Classic IV (known best for its indelible hit "Spooky"), passed away in Hamilton early Sunday morning. Though not a Cincinnati native, he had lived here for several years and was embraced by the local music community.
The 2012-2013 season of touring productions presented by Broadway in
Cincinnati marks a quarter-century of bringing high-quality shows to the
Aronoff Center, which the series has called home since it opened in 1995. The
shows that will keep the Walnut Street facility humming – not to mention nearby
restaurants – were announced today. They include the funky Blue Man Group
making its first appearance in Cincinnati, plus a selection of shows that have
been Broadway hits and award winners.
Blue Man
Group (Oct. 16-28, 2012) is a wild and crazy theatrical experience, a
performance act that has been combining comedy, music and technology for more
than 10 years. With no spoken language, the trio of guys with blue plastic skin
presents a show that's big, loud, funny, silly, visually arresting – and not
easy to describe. The show won a special citation in the 1991 Obie Awards, and
recognition in 1992 from the Lucille Lortel Awards (for excellence in
off-Broadway theatre) and from the Village Voice's Obie Awards.
Boys (Nov. 28-Dec. 9, 2012), the story of Frankie Valli and the Four
Seasons, was a big hit for the series in 2008 when it sold approximately 64,000
tickets during a two-week run. It's one of the best of the jukebox musicals,
and it should be a popular choice again. (Since it's a repeat Broadway in
Cincinnati invites subscribers to choose between this one and Peter Pan to fill out a six-show
Memphis (Jan. 22-Feb. 3,
2013) is a fine musical derived from a true story about the challenge race
relations in that Tennessee city in the 1960s when a white DJ and a talented
black singer find themselves attracted to one another. The show, which won four
Tony Awards in 2010, has a rhythm-and-blues score and a lot of great dancing as
it tells a powerful story about love, show biz and how the races interacted.
One critic called this show "the very essence of what a Broadway musical should
be," and I agree wholeheartedly.
Dollar Quartet (Feb. 19-March 3, 2013) was also nominated for the best
musical Tony in 2010, losing out to Memphis.
It too is based on a real event that happened in Memphis, this one at the
studios of Sun Records on Dec. 4, 1956, when four young Rock-and-Roll musicians
intersected: Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. It
was the only time they were together in a recording session, and the legendary
results are the subject matter of this lively show.
Pan (March 12-17, 2013) brings back one-time Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby
who has made a career of performing in this show. She turns 60 in December,
which brings some kindof weird irony to playing the boy who "won't grow up,"
but Rigby's athletic skills for flying and fighting mean she's popular with
audiences. She performed the role at the Aronoff in 2000 and 2006. This show is
the "choose-one" that subscribers get for their sixth choice.
Horse (March 26-April 7, 2013) won the 2011 Tony Award for best drama. Set in
England in 1914, it's about an adolescent named Albert and his horse Joey, the
latter recruited to go with the troops to World War I in France. It's an epic
tale of the powerful connection between Albert and Joey, and it's told using
remarkably realistic "puppets," a term hardly seems to suit the manner in which
life-sized horses are created and become key characters in this production.
Act (April 30-May 12, 2013) is a musical comedy based on the popular Whoopi
Goldberg film from 1992 about a woman whose life takes an unexpected turn when
she witnesses a crime and is "hidden" at a convent. This show promises a lot of
fun, and it's been running on Broadway for almost a year. However, I'm afraid
that it strikes me as all too typical of the tendency to create shows from
mildly popular movies. That film was a vehicle for Whoopi, and without her, I
suspect the show is a meager reflection.

Rumors have been circulating for most of this year, but the official press release came out today. Here's is what it said:
Kaldi's Coffeehouse & Bookstore, "the living room of Over-the-Rhine," has announced that it will permanently close the doors at its current location at the end of December 2008. Although owner Jeremy Thompson has been searching for a new location for some time, it has not yet been decided where the concept might reopen.
The coffeehouse, bookstore, restaurant and live music nightclub has been a consistent part of the Over-the-Rhine community since its opening in the early 1990s. As CityBeat reported last summer, "OTR without Kaldi's is unthinkable."
Building renovations have led to a discontinuation of the bar/restaurant's lease. Earlier this year, those same changes claimed Kaldi's kitchen and half of its available seating.
Kaldi's catering services will continue to be offered, and its operations at the Art Academy of Cincinnati will not cease. Although much of Kaldi's appeal was its atmosphere, setting and physical space, Thompson still hopes to set up shop elsewhere.
For the time being, Kaldi's is generally open at noon daily. It closes at midnight on weeknights, and 2 a.m. on weekends.
For prior CityBeat coverage about the next move for Kaldi's, see Joe Wessels' column from June here and Kevin Osborne's report in February about the possible move of Kaldi's to Findlay Market.
The Cincinnati Enquirer earlier today posted fake data on its website showing Mitt Romney with a 92,000-vote lead in a supposed early vote count in Ohio. Editors later posted an apology, explaining that the election-results chart was created as a template and was inadvertently posted early.
The Enquirer explained the error: "A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning. It purported to show early voting totals in Ohio counties. However, no votes have been counted yet — by law counting doesn't start until the polls close. Cincinnati.com regrets the error."
The correction came a bit
too late, however. Conservative-leaning Drudge Report had already
tweeted the false results before the apology was published, and journalism blogger Jim Romenesko called The Enquirer out on it.
Providing voting results before polls close is typically frowned upon in media circles to avoid discouraging voters with potentially disappointing numbers.
Some critics of Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum said video footage of a speech at a campaign event shows him starting to utter a racial slur while referring to President Obama, then cutting himself off mid-word.
While speaking to a group of supporters in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Santorum said, "We know what the candidate, Barack Obama, was like. The anti-war, government nig--, uh…" before stopping abruptly, then adding, "America was, uh, a source for division around the world. And that what we were doing was wrong. We needed to pull out and we needed to pull back."
Although the uncompleted word sure sounds like it began with "nig" and what Santorum said next in the sentence didn't flow naturally with the other words, a campaign spokesman today denied that the uncompleted word was "nigger."
In January Santorum told a crowd of supporters in Iowa that he didn't "want to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money."
Here is the clip of Tuesday's speech. The remark causing controversy is spoken around the 34:30 mark. You can decide for yourself.
Heart introduced a fresh, rebellious sound in the early 1970s when a particular voice was truly needed. That timeless voice belonged to singer Ann Wilson. In a time when the female frontwoman was just gaining steam, Heart found their identity in theirs. To this day Wilson embodies the band's sound and message. She helped make it possible for generations of others to find their voice in Rock & Roll.
The band's legacy was celebrated on a grand scale this year when Ann, her sister, guitarist Nancy Wilson, and the rest of the Heart family were inducted into the 2013 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the likes of fellow legendary groups Rush and Public Enemy.
CityBeat had the privilege of speaking with the legendary vocalist in advance of Heart's performance Saturday at Riverbend Music Center. Audiences can anticipate hearing classics like "Barracuda" and "Crazy on You," as well as fresh music off of the 2012 album Fanatic, which nicely continues the Heart legacy. Don't miss the finale with Jason Bonham (opening the show with his Led Zeppelin tribute) joining them on stage.
CityBeat: What was the highlight of your Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction this year?
Ann Wilson: The highlight of my (RRHOF) induction this year was standing beside Nancy at the podium. That was a feeling of great pride I will never forget.
CB: What is the most number of days you have gone without playing music?
AW: I have gone months sometimes without playing a guitar, but never a day goes by where I don't sing.
CB: What does your ideal day look like these days?
AW: Sleep in late, have a great pilates/yoga workout, hang out with my kids and their kids, cook dinner, meditate, sleep with my dog nearby.
CB: If you could trade places with someone for a month who would it be and why?
AW: I guess I couldn't do that. I don't envy anyone else that much!
CB: You have seen music recording formats change from vinyl and 8-track to cassette, CD and MP3 through the years. Do you feel like music sounds better or worse with the use of technology?
AW: Music definitely sounds worse to my ears because of digital technology. There is a hard, brittle sound to it. Analog music sounded warmer and deeper, though maybe not as " perfect." Auto-Tune makes me crazy because it removes all individuality from a person's voice. Everyone ends up sounding anonymous. The imperfections are where the soul is, I say leave them in. Leave in the humanity.
CB: How did the latest tour come about with Jason Bonham? Any favorite tour stories from the current tour?
AW: Many people saw the Kennedy Center Honors show on TV or YouTube and loved the tribute to Led Zeppelin. The management was listening and everyone agreed it would be a beautiful idea. We've only done two weeks so far, and it's been amazing. No train wrecks yet!
CB: Do you journal or take photos over the years with special tour memories. How do you document your stories and memories?
AW: We record every night and have photographers on sight. Occasionally I will blog, but I am usually pretty wound up after a show. Maybe this will be the year I take up a journal. A person can't count on their memory forever!!
CB: Does it ever get tough being on the road with family? How have you handled it for so many years?
AW: Yes, the road is rough. Traveling and performing together takes a lot out of you and sometimes things do get emotional. We are lucky to have each other for support. I don't know how I would have made it all these years without Nancy's love, strength and sense of humor!
CB: Are you working on new music while on the road?
AW: My head is full of new songs at the moment.
CB: What can fans looks forward to when the tour hits Cincinnati?
AW: The show in Cincinnati will open with Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, Next will be the heart show, after which there will be a finale consisting of about 30 minutes of Zeppelin songs with Jason Bonham and (Bonham's guitarist) Tony Catania joining in.
The effect My Morning Jacket has had on live Rock music in America over the past several years is hard to deny. Spawned from the fertile Louisville music scene, the band's legendary live show is an electrifying experience for all who attend. At the end of May, MMJ put out its sixth studio album, Circuital, which earned a career-high first-week entry into the Billboard Top 200 album chart, bowing at No. 5. Bo Koster, MMJ keyboardist since 2004, joining the band during the gap between its major label debut, It Still Moves, and the wildly diverse Z. CityBeat spoke with Koster about the band's Cincinnati stop Wednesday at PNC Pavilion with Neko Case, as well as My Morning Jacket's memorable live performances and passion for local record shops.

"Black Wednesday" has become "Black Thursday."
Layoffs continued for a second day at The Gannett Co.'s newspaper holdings, including The Cincinnati Enquirer. Because The Enquirer is so notoriously tight-lipped about the names or job titles of staffers who are let go, CityBeat is slowly confirming names from various sources and cobbling together a more complete list.
Cage The Elephant is a young five-piece from Bowling Green, KY, Matt Shultz (vocals), Brad Shultz (guitar), Daniel Tichenor (bass), Lincoln Parish (guitar) and Jared Champion (drums). They accumulated 80 songs worth of ideas during a 2-year period touring around the globe and living abroad in England supporting their eponymous debut album. As they began sorting through their arsenal of songs, they returned to Kentucky to record album two.
We had the good fortune of catching up with members Lincoln Parish and Daniel Tichenor prior to a performance at the 2010 Voodoo Festival in New Orleans. They are currently promoting the upcoming album, Thank You Happy Birthday, to be released January 11, 2011, and their new single Shake Me Down.
CityBeat: I appreciate you guys taking the time to talk to me. I was interested in you guys because I'm from Clarksville, Tennessee which is very close to your hometown of Bowling Green.
Lincoln Parish: Yeah an hour away.
CB: The local connection. I know you guys have the new album coming out soon, Thank You Happy Birthday. What's the story behind the title?
Parish: There's not one I don't think.
Daniel Tichenor: Not one. We just couldn't… I just think titles at times are… I don't think they're really necessary.
Parish: I hate titles.
CB: But your last one was self-titled.
Parish: It's one thing if you're doing a concept album.
Tichenor: But we were asked to come up with a title. So…
CB: Was it somebody's birthday?
Parish: There's gonna be a picture of a cupcake on the front of the album cover.
CB: Like Cake?
Parish: We don't know yet but it will be my proposed idea.
CB: You guys have been touring with STP right?
Parish: Yeah we did for about a month.
CB: Were you guys there when Scott fell off the stage in Cincinnati?
Parish: Yeah we were. I didn't see it.
CB: That was a crazy night. That stage is really
high. It's like six feet tall. I think that usually the speakers are
right up on the stage and he'll jump on them and go out and sing.
Parish: Yeah, they usually build a platform but I
think they didn't think he was going to go over that far. And he did.
He expected it to be there and it wasn't. He kept singing though.
CB: He did. I talked to the security people the
next week and they talked about pulling him out of the wires and they
said he was pretty beat up. They said he sang the whole time. The band
didn't even miss a beat. I think if you're lead singer fell off you
guys might look for him right?
Tichenor: The thing is when you're playing you're
really not paying attention. If somebody… If something happened to
someone in the band you really don't know.
CB: You really wouldn't notice for a while?
Parish: I've fallen off a couple times.
Tichenor: Yeah, Lincoln has fallen off and I didn't even know he fell off.
CB: You just keep going. I guess the only person who can't fall off is really the drummer.
Parish: If he falls off, we've got big problems.
CB: Have you guys been here just today? Were you here yesterday?
Parish: We got in yesterday afternoon.
CB: Did you catch any of the shows?
Parish: No
Tichenor: We had rehearsal.
Parish: We had rehearsal. We haven't played in a couple weeks.
CB: What's your favorite track on the new album and why?
Parish: Mine's probably Indie Kids.
Tichenor: And why?
Parish: I don't know. I just like it. There are a lot of different elements I like about it. But it's got a cool vibe.
CB: Do you guys write most of the music?
Both: Yeah we write all of it. We write together.
CB: And you do it together in the same room? I know a lot of bands write separately then they come together to put it all together.
Parish: I mean sometimes there might be an idea
that starts off where there's one person who has a guitar rift or a
melody idea or something but usually…
CB: You're all together.
Parish: It's all collective.
The band actually locked themselves away in a remote Kentucky cabin and, after just two weeks, emerged with Thank You, Happy Birthday, a set of songs that blasts through your speakers with ferocity.
CB: So you're still friends.
Parish: Yeah for the most part.
Tichenor: I think my favorite song would be our first single that we're going to release. It's called Shake Me Down.
The reason I like it is because I'm kind of glad it's going to be our
first single because when it comes out people are going to be really
Parish: It's a lot of growth.
CB: So how is it different? I loved the first album In One Ear…
Parish: Maturity and growth.
Tichenor: It sounds a lot different. I mean you can still tell it's us.
CB: Do you guys have any ballads?
Tichenor: There's quite a few. It's all singing harmonies and…
Parish: It's singing, harmonies and reverb. I love reverb.
Tichenor: The first album was more talky. This one's singier.
Parish: Well there are some songs on this new
record that are a lot heavier than the first record. Then there are
some songs that are a lot softer.
Tichenor: It's a big mix.
Although Cage The Elephant has sold more records than most recent bands on their debuts, they have engaged in indulgences that took them off track and battled their share of demons and creative doubts. Their adversities forced them to take a fresh approach with their new album, and their lives.
CB: So when you guys are touring, what do you miss about home? You guys live in Kentucky when you're not touring, right?
Parish: Nashville
Tichenor: I miss my bed.
Parish: It's like the simple things.
Tichenor: Bed and some isolation. Sometimes you just want to do your own thing.
Parish: It's kind of cool to have a little bit of stability for a little bit. Day to day kind of stuff.
CB: I hear that a lot from people. They just like
doing their laundry and doing normal things they can do at home versus
on the road where everything is hard. You have to find logistically
where we are going to eat. Are we washing our clothes in the sink today?
Tichenor: You have to get in your car and drive with stuff like that.
CB: So how long have you guys lived in Nashville?
Parish: I've been there for about a year and half.
Tichenor: Two years.
CB: Which part of town do you live in?
Parish: I live in West End.
Tichenor: I'm in Germantown. It's cool. It's nice. It has that small town vibe.
CB: People are nice but there's tons of music.
Doesn't it blow you away with all the talented musicians that are there
that are never going to make it? It's kind of depressing. They are
super talented.
Parish: I have a friend who works at Trader Joe's now on the side. He was in a band called Warrior Soul. After he quit Warrior Soul, he went on to write an album with the guy from Ministry and went on to do a lot of other stuff. But he's working at Trader Joe's now.
CB: Do you guys play locally there a lot?
Parish: We haven't played Nashville in over a year.
Tichenor: Our booking agent is very selective of when we play. You don't want to overdo it.
Parish: There was one point and time where we played Nashville like every weekend for a while.
CB: I think it depends on where you're at and what
you're doing and promoting. If you weren't playing music, what would
you be doing?
Tichenor: I worked at Lowe's. So I'd still probably be working at Lowe's and hating life.
Parish: I don't really know what I would be doing.
Tichenor: I think it's cause we started so young. There's no telling what we would do.
Parish: I don't know. I really don't
CB: This is all you ever wanted to do?
Parish: It's hard to even like imagine not doing
music. Even if the band was to break up now I still feel like I would
do something in music.
Tichenor: At least try. There's somebody you can always play with.
Parish: I think if you really love it, you'll always do it no matter what.
CB: So how do you define success?
Tichenor: If you're content with the happenings of
your life then you could be considered a success. There's stuff from
the outside that could be considered success, but if you're not happy
at the end of the day then what's the point of doing it. That's the way
I see it.
CB: Most people don't say money, fame, or fortune. It's usually about family or just being happy or love playing music.
Parish: If you're happy and content with what you're doing, that's success to me.
CB: Obviously the record's coming out…
Parish: January 11th
CB: Are you going to support it with a tour? Do you have anything line up yet?
Tichenor: We don't really know what we're doing after it comes out. It's kind of up in the air right now.
Parish: We're definitely going to be promoting it.
CB: I'm hoping you guys come through Cincinnati and are at Rock on the Range next year?
Parish: Hopefully, we'll get back over to Europe right when it comes out.
CB: You guys lived there for a while right?
Parish: Yeah
CB: Did you like it?
Tichenor: London… I liked it. It's a different pace. It was all new to us.
Parish: At the time it was kind of weird. We didn't really know what to think about it. But now looking back, I miss it a lot.
CB: It's uncomfortable a little bit. You're out of the country. But when you get back and you reflect on it…
Tichenor: It's good life experience.
Parish: But then you miss the little stuff. The kebab shops.
CB: Exactly, I miss the accent from London. I think they have the best accent.
Parish: I have an English wife.
CB: So that was your souvenir from the trip?
Tichenor: It's so weird. I had a girlfriend from England and you get so used to that accent.
CB: I don't have a huge southern accent but a lot
of people who aren't from the U.S. think the southern accent is similar
to the English accent.
Parish: Every time we go to Chicago, for some
reason in Chicago everybody thinks we sound so southern but I guess we
do have the accent maybe.
CB: A teeny bit. Any guilty pleasures?
Tichenor: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
CB: That's not too guilty
Parish: I think he likes that Bulletproof song by LaRoux. I don't mind that song either.
Tichenor: There you go. That's our guilty pleasure, LaRoux.
CB: Is there anything else you guys want to say or promote? You talked about the first single. When's it going to hit the radio?
Tichenor: Shake Me Down in a couple weeks around Thanksgiving time.
CB: I've been listening to your other stuff for so long. I'm ready. I'm sure you guys are ready to play something new right?
Parish: The first album was like four years ago.
CB: Are we going to hear new stuff today?
Parish: Yeah, we are actually going to play the new single tonight.
CB: I look forward to it. Thank you so much.
When the band played Voodoo Fest later that day after my interview on the main stage they proved to be one of the highlights of the day. Lead singer Matt Schultz was electric and did more stage diving than I had seen in a long time into their devoted legions of fans. At one point he even climbed up the scaffolding surrounding the sound booth and dove directly into the crowd. His Superman stunts and the band's rebellious sing along lyrics got everyone excited for the second day of Voodoo Fest.
Don't forget to checkout their new album, Thank You Happy Birthday, in stores January 11.

Vita may be off to a slow start, but it's not in need of a re-evaluation, says Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House.
Despite struggling sales - particularly in Japan until just recently - Sony has repeatedly dismissed suggestions that it should re-think the portable's strategy, particularly in terms of pricing, as Nintendo did with the once-struggling 3DS, and House has spoken likewise in a recent interview with MCV.
"I don't think there has been a need for a re-look," said House. "We are in what is a very competitive space. I think we need to put more emphasis on the kinds of experiences that define and differentiate Vita. That is always going to be one of its objectives. But there needs to be a reinforcement on that."
He went on, "But also, because it is for us the first truly networked portable device in our proprietary gaming space, there is a need to think more broadly about the implications of that for our business model, and to think about how the consumer wants to acquire content.
"20 per cent of Vita content is being downloaded. That tells you that the consumer has an appetite in this space. It just creates a need for us to think through our business model in a broader way than before."
Nintendo slashed a third off the price of the 3DS in response to the handheld's lackluster launch window sales, almost immediately turning the console's fortunes around with the added help of some (better late than never) major software launches.
Does Vita need a price cut, or just some more big-name games?
