by Buck Pomerantz Tiny giant You won't believe how small and powerful this amp is. Rockford Fosgate's PBR300X2 2-channel amp puts out 100 watts RMS each to a pair of speakers, all from an amp you can easily hold in one hand. You can also put this amp in one-channel mode to drive a sub with 300 watts RMS of bumping bass. And an optional wired remote control lets you add Rockford Fosgate's famous extra Punch from the front seat. Boosted Rail (BR) amp technology This Punch Class BR amplifier uses Boosted Rail (BR) amp technology to generate so much power from such a tiny case, with capacitors and high-speed circuitry that boost the amp's power supply voltage when needed, so it can handle musical peaks without missing a beat. Rockford Fosgate uses this new technology to create a remarkable amp that fits almost anywhere and delivers powerful sound. Heat management The amp also features speaker-level inputs with signal-sensing turn-on, allowing you to connect into almost any system without having to run a turn-on lead back to the receiver. An extruded aluminum heat sink combines with Rockford Fosgate's heat management technology to make sure your tunes keep rockin' even when you're playing loud.

Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

The Sunshine Coast Friends of Forage Fish volunteer group would like to once again inform the public - especially all those gardeners - that herring spawn season is upon us.
As a practice, mulching is great, but when one chooses seaweed as a mulch, a series of thoughtful decisions should be made beforehand.
First of all, what is the time of year?
February and March are herring spawning months here on the Coast, and herring will often choose seaweed as the anchor for their eggs. Even when the egg- laden seaweed gets broken off and washed up on the beach, those eggs can survive until the next high tide. By taking seaweed then, there is the potential to destroy thousands of herring eggs. None should be collected at this time.
Secondly, how much will I take, and how often?
There are a lot of us in the world now, including the Sunshine Coast, and our cumulative impact is significant. The seaweed line is home to many amphipods (small sea creatures) and provides shelter, shade and moisture to others between the tidal periods. Do you really need seaweed for a mulch?
Finally, is there something with less impact that I can use to mulch?
Many of us throw out great mulch materials like grass clippings, compost, or sawdust. Why not use them?If you must collect seaweed as mulch for your garden, take only small amounts from over a large area to minimize the impact on this special area of our world, and not during the months of February and March.
The Sunshine Coast Friends of Forage Fish is a local volunteer group that has been diligently sampling Sunshine Coast beaches for the presence of forage fish eggs. They have had recent positive findings of Pacific sand lance eggs at Trail Bay and Halfmoon Bay.

text: With the help of a friend, I took my Mission Craze bow out numerous times in order to re-teach myself how to properly shoot. As soon as I began to consistently hit the target, I'd watch an arrow fly into oblivion, never to be found again. I've become a bit serious about practicing with my bow, in the hopes of bowhunting this fall, and some of the fun has worn. In an attempt to bring back a bit of that fun, I might have to head down to Richmond, Va., where a new fad that's spreading across the country has emerged. Archery tag is quite similar to the dodge-ball game you played growing up, except this "Hunger Games"-like challenge utilizes bows and tips made of a soft, non-bruising, marshmallow-like material. I first read about the new craze in an article from The New York Times, "A Chance to Embrace Your Inner Katniss." Teams hide behind blow-up barricades to shoot over or around them—or, if they're brave enough to come out fully and face the enemy. According to the article, many teams dress up as their favorite archery-themed TV or movie characters. Thanks to movies like "Brave" and the "Hunger Games" or TV shows like the "Walking Dead," archery has remained in the mainstream media for the last few years. It seems to be "catching fire" (pardon the pun), and it doesn't look like archery is going anywhere. The video below is from the Archery Tag YouTube page, where a number of cool videos can be found.

Pesticide Suspected in Bee Die-Offs Could Also Kill Birds
- |
- 9:30 am |
- Permalink
Controversial pesticides linked to catastrophic honeybee declines in North America and Europe may also kill other creatures, posing ecological threats even graver than feared, say some scientists.
According to a report by the American Bird Conservancy, the dangers of neonicotinoid pesticides to birds, and also to stream- and soil-dwelling insects accidentally exposed to the chemicals, have been underestimated by regulators and downplayed by industry.
"The environmental persistence of the neonicotinoids, their propensity for runoff and for groundwater infiltration, and their cumulative and largely irreversible mode of action in invertebrates raise environmental concerns that go well beyond bees," stated the report, which was co-authored by pesticide policy expert Cynthia Palmer and pesticide toxicologist Pierre Mineau, both from the American Bird Conservancy.
Chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer, a major neonicotinoid manufacturer, said the criticisms lack solid evidence. "This report relies on theoretical calculations and exposure estimates that differ from accepted risk assessment methodologies, while disregarding relevant data that are at odds with its claims," the company said in a statement.
The Bees
Neonicotinoids became popular in the late 1990s, largely replacing earlier insecticides that posed blatant health and environmental risks. Derived from nicotine, which short-circuits the nervous systems of insects that try to eat tobacco plants, neonicotinoids at first seemed both effective and safe.
They now account for some one-quarter of global insecticide sales, used on hundreds of crops and also in gardens and cities. In the last several years, though, it's become evident that regulators, especially the Environmental Protection Agency, overlooked the extreme toxicity of neonicotinoids to honeybees and other pollinators. Regulatory approvals were partly based on industry studies now considered unreliable, and sometimes despite the concerns of the EPA's own scientists.
Neonicotinoids subsequently emerged as a prime suspect in colony collapse disorder, the unexplained malady that since 2005 has annually killed about one-third of the nation's commercial honeybees, and may also affect bumblebee populations. The pesticides are blamed for triggering collapses outright or making bees vulnerable to to diseases and parasites.
Early toxicity studies suggested the risks were relatively small: Vertebrates don't have precisely the same receptors to which neonicotinoids bind so tightly in insects, so higher doses are needed to cause harm.
It was also assumed that neonicotinoids wouldn't accumulate in the environment at levels capable of harming either vertebrates or non-pest, non-pollinator invertebrates — the countless insect species that are the foundation of terrestrial and aquatic food webs.
Since then, however, researchers have found widespread evidence of neonicotinoids spreading beyond their crop targets, and the methodologies used to establish neonicotinoid safety have come under question.
"The more studies I see, the more I think the preponderance of evidence is leaning towards neonicotinoids being tremendously bad for lower animals in the food chain, especially all the invertebrates," said Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society, an invertebrate conservation group.
The Birds
Seeds used to grow crops like corn, sunflowers and canola are routinely coated in neonicotinoids, which then spread through plants as they grow. Many species of birds eat seeds. In the absence to date of studies directly observing farmland birds and their day-by-day fates, the question of whether neonicotinoids harm them quickly becomes an argument over methods used to set toxicological guidelines.
In the American Bird Conservancy report, Mineau and Palmer note that the EPA typically sets guidelines for bird exposures using laboratory tests on just two species, mallard ducks and bobwhite quail. Their results become the basis of standards for other birds, but this elides widely varying sensitivities among hundreds of species.
For example, the LD50 — a standard toxicological measure for a dose that kills half of exposed animals — for bobwhite and mallards consuming imidacloprid, the most common neonicotinoid formulation, are 152 and 283 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. For canaries, that number drops to about 35 mg/kg, and for gray partridge it's just 15 mg/kg.
Were the guidelines calculated more carefully, say Mineau and Palmer, drawing broadly on peer-reviewed literature and accounting for heightened sensitivity in certain species, they'd be very different. What are now considered safe exposure levels would be recognized as poisonous — and many birds could reach them by eating just a few seeds.
Asked for comment, the Environmental Protection Agency said the report "uses a method to compare risks across chemicals that differs from the long-standing peer-reviewed approach EPA uses. The agency will carefully consider the report's studies, analytic methods and conclusions."
David Fischer, director of environmental toxicology and risk assessment in Bayer's CropScience division, said the report misrepresented industry testing. "We tested a lot of species. We did tests beyond what was required by the EPA," Fischer said. If neonicotinoids really were killing birds, said Fischer, it would already have been reported, as were die-offs from the earlier, more-toxic chemicals that neonicotinoids largely replaced.
"There have been few instances of mortality in the field. They're extremely rare," Fischer said. "I don't know of any incidents in North America." Mineau responded that, even with earlier chemicals, researchers didn't find evidence of bird deaths until they actively looked for them. That hasn't yet happened with neonicotinoids, he said, and poisoned birds don't immediately and visibly drop dead on fields. They may die hours or days later in a tree or bush, making it unlikely that anyone will even notice.
The report also notes that chronic toxicity — effects that don't kill animals outright, but over time cause health, reproductive and behavioral problems — has largely been overlooked. Preliminary studies suggest a potential for embryo development disorders and decreased immune responses, but guidelines were again set by reference to bobwhite and mallards. Tests only measured obvious birth defects, ignoring the many other ways that animals can be impaired.
Mineau thinks neonicotinoids are at least playing a role in the precipitous decline of birds that live in or migrate through agricultural areas. "I believe this is happening right now," he said. Yet that, said Mineau, may be just a prelude to other problems. "I think the aquatic and soil impacts are even greater," he said. "We're going to see profound changes in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems."

text: Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report - Fri, 14 Dec 2001 ----------------------------------------------- Pretoria High Court Rules That South Africa Must Provide Nevirapine to All HIV-Positive Pregnant Women Pretoria High Court Judge Chris Botha today ruled that the South Af- rican government must supply the antiretroviral drug nevirapine to all HIV-positive pregnant women in the public health system in order to reduce transmission of the virus from mother to child, the South African Press Association reports (South African Press Association, 12/14). When administered to the woman at the onset of labor and again to the infant 72 hours after delivery, nevirapine can reduce the risk of transmitting HIV by 50%. In South Africa, about 200 in- fants a day are born with HIV (BBC News, 12/14). The Treatment Action Campaign, the Children's Rights Center and Haroon Saloojee, a physi- cian in charge of community pediatrics at the University of the Wit- watersrand, this summer filed suit against the South African Depart- ment of Health and eight of nine provincial health departments in an effort to force the government to provide the drug to all HIV- positive pregnant women through public hospitals and health clinics. Last spring, the government launched two pilot programs in each of the country's nine provinces to examine the effects of nevirapine treatment on pregnant women with HIV, but according to TAC, the pro- grams reached only 10% of the country's HIV-positive pregnant women. In addition, the lawsuit asked the government to plan and implement a national program to prevent vertical transmission (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 8/21). In a 70-page ruling, Botha said the govern- ment was "obliged" to provide the drug under the constitutional right to health treatment and gave the government until March 31 to draw up a comprehensive plan for dispensing the drug and reducing vertical transmission overall in the country (Swindells, Reuters, 12/14). The government had argued that nevirapine's safety "remained unproven" and that officials lacked the resources needed to implement a na- tional scheme. Lawyers for the government also noted that even if the drug were provided, women would still transmit the virus to their in- fants through breastmilk and argued that the courts had "no right to rule on policy decisions" (BBC News, 12/14). Boehringer Ingelheim, the German manufacturer of the drug, had previously offered to supply it free-of-charge for five years to the South African government, but officials had rejected that offer. According to Kevin McKenna, Boe- hringer's managing director in South Africa, the offer still stands. "If the government decides to move forward we would be happy to sup- ply the product," he said. Paving the Way AIDS advocates hailed the ruling, saying it could halve vertical transmission rates and pave the way for expanded HIV/AIDS treatment. "This is a very important victory, a great step forward. The judge granted everything that the TAC sought," Mark Heywood, TAC national secretary, said (Reuters, 12/14). He added that the ruling will bring "hope to tens of thousands of pregnant women" and could eventually lead to expanded HIV/AIDS drug availability to others in the country. "We don't want to save the lives of children only to have a genera- tion of orphans," he explained (Kraft, Associated Press, 12/14). The government won a "landmark" court case against 39 drug companies ear- lier this year that would allow it to import generic AIDS drugs, but officials have not taken action to do so. The government is expected to appeal Botha's ruling to the country's Supreme Court (Reuters, 12/14). South African Gold Producer, Mining Unions Sign Deal on HIV Transmission Prevention Program for Mine Workers South Africa's second-largest miner of gold, Gold Fields Ltd., signed an agreement on Wednesday with the representatives of several mining unions to create "one of the most advanced" workplace HIV/AIDS programs in the country, Reuters reports. The National Union of Mine- workers, the United Associations of South Africa and the Mineworkers Union Solidarity ratified the deal with the company to create an em- ployee program that will focus on curbing the spread of HIV through education, voluntary HIV testing and promotion of condom use. More than 25% of Gold Fields Ltd.'s miners are currently infected with HIV, and South Africa has the greatest number of residents who are living with HIV/AIDS of any nation. Although antiretroviral drugs will not be offered as part of the company's program, counseling and management of "opportunistic diseases" and other STDs will be in- cluded. Due to the decline in productivity and increased absenteeism among employees, the high prevalence of HIV infection in the company had previously been predicted to add $4 to $5 to the cost of each ounce of gold produced by the group within five years. Without these newly agreed-upon measures, the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS among the workers was expected to rise to 40% and add $10 to the cost of an ounce of gold by 2009 (Reuters, 12/12). -- The Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report is published for kaisernetwork.org, a free service of The Henry J.

In 2005, the film Brokeback Mountain broke ground as a major motion picture portraying a love story about two men: a pair of young cowboys, Ennis and Jack, in the 1960s.
They fall in love during a summer spent tending sheep in the isolation of a fictional mountain in Wyoming. They spend the rest of the film — and their lives — grappling with a love that they have to keep secret.
The film was based on a short story by Annie Proulx, and now it's been turned into an opera by the Pulitizer Prize-winning composer Charles Wuorinen. Proulx herself wrote the words that are sung — the libretto — and Brokeback Mountain, the opera, premiered this week in Madrid.
NPR's Renee Montagne reached Proulx and Wuorinen backstage to talk about this artistic transformation of a forbidden love that ends in a brutal death — a story that seems inherently operatic.
"That's why I wanted to write an opera about it," Wuorinen says. "It's a contemporary version of a universal human problem. Two people that are in love, who can't make it work, and it ends badly."
Proulx's story, which originally appeared in the New Yorker, seemed perfectly compact as it was.
"I thought, it could have been a novel if I enlarged on it, but it was kept very tight to express the inarticulate nature of the two main protagonists," Proulx says. "So, the opera, the libretto, gave a chance for depth and for the characters to grow."
One character whose role expands in the opera, Proulx says, is Ennis's wife Alma.
"Alma is important because the ranch woman — long suffering, who does all of the chores, who never gets to inherit the property that she so improved — is a neglected figure. So, Alma has to speak for all of those thousands of ranch women who never had a voice."
Wuorinen says there's another more practical reason to beef up roles for women in the opera.
"When you contemplate an evening on stage with two men doing a great deal of the singing, you have to confront the possibility of getting tired of hearing that," he admits. "So, there is a direct practical, theatrical, and musical reason for wanting more women in the picture. There is a scene for Alma in the wedding dress shop where she is picking out the gown she will wear in her wedding to Ennis, and that gives me a chance to have a complete change of sonority in the score, with the female voices that have not been present before."
Also in the score, there are even deeper musical considerations.
"In the case of this opening, what you've got is a low sub-contra C, one of the lowest notes available to any instrument," Wuorinen says. "[It] stands, in a symbolic way, for the mountain, which itself, of course, is the venue for freedom when the two characters have their initial encounter, but also is deadly, and C-natural, the low one especially, is therefore the note of death."
One of the most gratifying aspects of working with Proulx's story for Wuorinen was developing the character of Ennis, who in the beginning is inarticulate, with little ability to express himself.
"Over the course of the opera he becomes more and more capable of self-expression and self-acceptance," Wuorinen explains. "He deals first in grunts and shouts, basically. Then, as he gets older and a little bit more mature, he sings more and more. When he finally gets to elaborate singing, it's at the very end of the piece when Jack is dead and he has lost everything. The tragedy of it is that he's achieved this very painfully, only after it is too late."
And here's when Ennis gets a full-throated aria, singing, "I'm choked up with love, love too late."
The opera's libretto offers a very different ending than the original short story, where Ennis' final words are stoic: "If you can't fix it, you've got to stand it."
"Well, he falls back into his place in rural Wyoming society," Proulx says. "There are many things in that life that if you can't fix them, you have to stand them. You can't fix the wind; you have to stand it. You can't fix a blinding storm; you have to stand it. And so it's an acceptance of his loveless fate."
But Proulx says that in the opera we need more than that, a larger piece of Ennis.
"We need to know what has happened, why he has changed. We need for him to tell us what's happened to him. Because at the end of the opera he's not saying 'If you can't fix it, you've got to stand it.' He's saying something quite different."
Charles Wuorinen and Annie Proulx's Brokeback Mountainpremiered at Madrid's Teatro Real on Tuesday. It runs through Feb. 11.

Panola Co. Sheriff enters guilty plea on tampering charge
Panola County, TX (Longview News-Journal) — Ron Clinton, the Panola County sheriff suspended from office earlier this month, today entered a guilty plea to tampering with a government document in Panola District court.
Judge Diane DeVasto accepted the plea but withheld a finding of guilt, defense attorney David Moore said. The judge placed Clinton under three years probation.
"If he complies with terms of probation, then the judge will dismiss the case without ever finding him guilty or convicting him of a felony," Moore said of the deferred adjudication agreement.

Citizens Bank Park
Attendance: None
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jair Jurrjens kept the ball down through 5 2/3 scoreless frames, and Atlanta used a carbon copy effort to down the defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies, 4-0, in the second of three games at Citizens Bank Park.
Kelly Johnson hit a leadoff home run, Chipper Jones drove a solo shot out of the park to left and four relievers backed up Jurrjens' (1-0) outstanding effort to complete the shutout. The right-hander scattered four hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
His counterpart Jamie Moyer (0-1), much like teammate Brett Myers a game earlier, was shaky early. Moyer gave up two first-inning runs and four total on eight hits with two strikeouts and a pair of walks in five frames.
Ryan Howard and Chase Utley each finished with two hits, but the Phillies left 11 men on base and have scored just one run in their first two games.
"Hard to win games when you don't score. We needed two-out hits and didn't get any. We just missed pitches," surmised Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.
It was a little bit of history repeating in the top of the first, as the Braves put a two-spot on the scoreboard before the crowd could settle in.
Johnson hit a first-pitch, thigh-high fastball, with the help of the wind, deep into the right-field seats. Jones, also with the help of a swirling wind, drilled a pitch deep to center field that turned around Shane Victorino and crashed high against the padding for a two-base hit. Brian McCann's slow roller into the hole by second went under Utley's glove for an error, scoring Jones for the early 2-0 edge.
"That's the name of the game. You want to try and get the lead early and try to hold it throughout the game," said McCann. "Our pitching the last two games have been phenomenal."
After a period of calm, every ball the Braves hit seemed to find open grass in the fourth. Jeff Francoeur hit a soft fly that dropped in right before Casey Kotchman found a hole past a lunging Jimmy Rollins, setting up a first-and- third situation. Moyer retired the next two hitters to nearly escape the jam, if not for Johnson's cue-shot infield single to short that plated Francoeur for the three-run lead.
Jones' solo blast into the left-field seats built a 4-0 advantage one inning later. Just before stretch time, the Phillies had two runners on and two outs for the third time in the game. Matt Stairs was called on to pinch hit but his fly ball was chased down at the warning track in left-center.
The home-standing Phillies, who will receive their championship rings in the series finale Wednesday afternoon, didn't muster another threat from there.

More Than 250 Youths Attend Anti-Violence Summit
Led by U.S. Attorney's Office at Northeast Washington High School
- U.S. Attorney Machen Calls for "Breaking the Silence on Youth Violence" -
WASHINGTON - More than 250 youths gathered at a high school in Northeast Washington today for a summit sponsored by the U.S. Attorney's Office that featured presentations geared toward empowering teenagers to stand up against violence.
U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. and other speakers stressed the importance of responsible decision-making, showing a dedication to academics, and making commitments to pursuing goals that will lead to lifetimes of success. They also talked of the consequences of guns and violence, with one presentation including a high school student's dramatic reading of a poem against a backdrop of a photo collage of now-deceased teenagers.
"You are responsible for your future," U.S. Attorney Machen declared. "You have to guard your future, and if you don't, it can be taken in an instant."
The program, the second annual such event, took place at H.D.Woodson High School, with the assistance of the East of the River Family Strengthening Collaborative and a host of law enforcement and community partners. It featured talks, panel discussions and performances meant to enlighten, engage and entertain youths from ages 11 through 17.
One presentation showed the emergency measures taken by doctors to treat gunshot victims and the devastation that comes when nothing more can be done to save them. Separate break-out sessions were tailored for boys and girls to deal with issues such as self-esteem, bullying, alcohol and drug abuse, and making good choices about "the company you keep."
In addition to discussions led by law enforcement, ex-offenders, professional athletes, and others, participants in the day's events were treated to performances by D.C.-based entertainers "Young Motive" and "Main Girl." Also, members of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the "Beat Ya Feet Crew" showcased their popular and energetic step routines.
The program was presented with assistance from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation, and Washington Hospital Center, with assistance from community groups, churches and others.
The youth summit is one in a series of community events sponsored by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, including town hall meetings, crime prevention presentations, and various outreach programs for people of all ages.

Summertime is deck time! Get your wood deck into tip-top shape for all the upcoming summer BBQs and family gatherings with these expert tips from carpenter and deck expert Kevin Stevens of KMS Woodworks.
1. What signs should someone look for to figure out if a board needs to be replaced?
You can check your deck's boards for what are often called "signs of failure." These typically fall into two categories:
The first is rotting or splitting. When a deck's finish begins to fail, the wood is subject to moisture, which leads to rot and splitting. End splits can cause the nails or screws to lose their "grip" and the board can lift up from the floor.
The second is cupping, when a deck board twists or cups. Cupping can often lead to the end of the board lifting up above the deck's surface, which can pose a tripping hazard.
2. What types of protective finishes should be used on deck wood and how many coats should be applied?
My professional preference for wood deck finish is an oil-based, semi-transparent penetrating stain. These allow the wood's natural grain to show through and often have UV protection as well as mildewcides (to prevent mildew). The frequency of application will vary by type of decking and local climate. To give you an idea, here in Colorado at 8,500-feet elevation I apply about every two years. Just ask this question on Hometalk's Questions section, and I or other deck experts can give you geo-targeted advice.
3. What's unique about decking screws and why can't other screws be used for your deck?
Deck screws will be extensively exposed to the elements so they are specifically designed for corrosion resistance; other screws will need to be replaced frequently and you'll end up with sizable holes in your boards from replacing them. My first choice for deck screws is stainless steel, particularly the "headcote" line of screws. They have colored heads that can be made to match the deck's color. These are a little pricey but will last as long as the deck.
Also, make sure you regularly tighten the bolts and screws on your railings, especially if you'll have children out on your deck.
4. To keep your deck looking fabulous all summer long, heed these everyday maintenance tips from Kevin:
- Clean up BBQ grease spills immediately; the grease is not good for your deck's finish.
- Clean away debris piles (such as leaves or pine needles) every week to prevent mildew and mold.
- Don't use a bleach-based cleaner on a wood deck. An oxygen-based cleaner's pH is much more wood-friendly and will get the job done equally well (Penofin is my deck cleaner of choice).
Now your deck is surely summertime fun ready. Get out there and enjoy! If you think your deck could use a good staining, check out this handy deck staining guide from Hometalk's deck experts. Also be sure to browse through all the deck decor and outdoor living ideas to help your deck live up to its full potential.

ASHLAND, Ore. — A weekend fire at Brammo Motorsports did more than $200,000 worth of damage. Brammo's Director of Marketing, Adrian Stewart, said the fire had no impact on the company's production nor distribution process.
The fire broke out in a research lab isolated from the rest of the building. It was suppressed by Brammo's emergency sprinkler system.
Firefighters said by the time they arrived they only had to fight light smoke. Stewart said most of the damage was water damage. The fire started when a group of batteries caught fire.

What else?
Man Man at House of Vans (more by BBG)
Though we already knew that Man Man was heading to the NYC area for a show at Maxwell's on June 4th (tickets still on sale), the previously announced tour left out one key date which is now announced: June 5th at Brooklyn Bowl with Diamond Doves, a show that is FREE with RSVP or only $5 without.
Speaking of Brooklyn Bowl, the club which recently hosted Jonathan Toubin's return party and has an upcoming Levon Helm tribute scheduled, will be paying tribute to MCA this evening with a screening, on all HD screens with full concert sound, of "AWESOME: I F*CKIN' SHOT THAT!". There will also be a special Beastie Boys tribute AV performance by Eclectic Method. It's free, and continues to be free if you stick around to see Questlove DJ ($8 if you show up after 10pm).
Brazilian Girls, whose Tuesday, 6/19 Brooklyn Bowl show is already listed as "limited admissions at door" have added a 2nd date at the club happening one day earlier. Tickets for the 6/18 Brooklyn Bowl show go on sale at noon.
Man Man is currently working on their new record, though no status on the progress thus far. Until then, be on the look out for some new tunes at the dates below.
Following Ad Rock's lead, Mike D posted a message and picture of his own to the Beastie Boys Facebook and blog...
I know, we should have tweeted and instagrammed every sad, happy and inspired thought, smile or tear by now. But honestly the last few days have just been a blur of deep emotions for our closest friend, band mate and really brother. I miss Adam so much. He really served as a great example for myself and so many of what determination, faith, focus, and humility coupled with a sense of humor can accomplish. The world is in need of many more like him. We love you Adam. BTW this photo sent to me by a friend, (thanks Saslow) is just one awesome example of how NYC is such a unique place that amidst it's huge size and frenetic pace it really opens up it's heart in so many ways and on on so many levels in times like these. And though it makes me cry sometimes, it has been really amazing and moving to see.He included the above picture from inside Madison Square Garden which is a nice accompaniment to our previously posted picture from outside MSG.
In related news, someone posted video of the entire benefit show the Beastie Boys played at Hiro Ballroom in 2006. Watch below...

I was very sad to hear the news of Adam Yauch's death yesterday.Check out videos of some bands remembering MCA from stage last night.We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and v smart guy. May he rest in peace.

It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam "MCA" Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.RIP MCABorn in Brooklyn, New York, Yauch taught himself to play bass in high school, forming a band for his 17th birthday party that would later become known the world over as Beastie Boys.
With fellow members Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz, Beastie Boys would go on to sell over 40 million records, release four #1 albums-including the first hip hop album ever to top the Billboard 200, the band's 1986 debut full length, Licensed To Ill-win three Grammys, and the MTV Video Vanguard Lifetime Achievement award. Last month Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Diamond and Horovitz reading an acceptance speech on behalf of Yauch, who was unable to attend.
In addition to his hand in creating such historic Beastie Boys albums as Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty and more, Yauch was a founder of the Milarepa Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and activism regarding the injustices perpetrated on native Tibetans by Chinese occupational government and military forces. In 1996, Milarepa produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, which was attended by 100,000 people, making it the biggest benefit concert on U.S. soil since 1985's Live Aid. The Tibetan Freedom Concert series would continue to stage some of the most significant benefit shows in the world for nearly a decade following in New York City, Washington DC, Tokyo, Sydney, Amsterdam, Taipei and other cities.
In the wake of September 11, 2001, Milarepa organized New Yorkers Against Violence, a benefit headlined by Beastie Boys at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom, with net proceeds disbursed to the New York Women's Foundation Disaster Relief Fund and the New York Association for New Americans (NYANA) September 11th Fund for New Americans-each chosen for their efforts on behalf of 9/11 victims least likely to receive help from other sources.
Under the alias of Nathanial Hörnblowér, Yauch directed iconic Beastie Boys videos including "So Whatcha Want," "Intergalactic," "Body Movin" and "Ch-Check It Out." Under his own name, Yauch directed last year's Fight For Your Right Revisited, an extended video for "Make Some Noise" from Beastie Boys' Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, starring Elijah Wood, Danny McBride and Seth Rogen as the 1986 Beastie Boys, making their way through a half hour of cameo-studded misadventures before squaring off against Jack Black, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Beastie Boys of the future.
Yauch's passion and talent for filmmaking led to his founding of Oscilloscope Laboratories, which in 2008 released his directorial film debut, the basketball documentary Gunnin' For That #1 Spot and has since become a major force in independent video distribution, amassing a catalogue of such acclaimed titles as Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy, Oren Moverman's The Messenger, Banksy's Exit Through The Gift Shop, Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze's Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait Of Maurice Sendak, and many more.
Yauch is survived by his wife Dechen and his daughter Tenzin Losel, as well as his parents Frances and Noel Yauch.

The first two hip hop records that I ever heard in full were nothing less than classics. I'll always remember having the cassette-dubs of the harder-than-hard leather-clad Run DMC, whose Raising Hell was the pinnacle of hip hop badassery. On the other side of the coin was the boyish, obnoxious, beer-soaked young lads responsible for the oh-so-fun Licensed to Ill. It was the perfect yin-and-yang, but I latched onto the Beastie Boys more, partly due to their cartoonish antics and over-the-top videos.
As Beasties evolved musically, so did I. They started going the cut-and-paste way of Hank Shocklee and the Bomb Squad when they teamed up with Dust Brothers for Paul's Boutique. They, along with Stetsasonic, used real instruments (shock!) on a hip hop record for Check Your Head, and even got back to their roots in punk on the same record. Their willingness to experiment and do what was right for them was an important lesson for my young mind; do what you like and the rest will follow.
MCA, thank you for providing the soundtrack to my youth. The world will miss you. Check out some of my favorite songs by the Beastie Boys below.
The rumors appear to be confirmed. We've lost one of our generation's musical legends and one of my personal heroes. As many are reporting and tweeting (including Russell Simmons, Questlove, TMZ and Pitchfork), Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys, who has been fighting cancer for a few years, passed away today at the way too young age of 47.
UPDATE: Beastie Boys issue official statement.

Beastie Boys have posted a new video for "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" from Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2 featuring an appearance from Santigold. Well actually, Santigold doesnt appear in the video, and neither does the Beastie Boys... but it does star a ton of action figures including a yeti. View the extended cut video by Spike Jonze (released early this AM) below.

Raekwon at Best Buy Theater (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
Raekwon will headline Prospect Park Bandshell on Saturday (7/9 @ 7:30pm) featuring an impressive lineup of Smif-n-Wessun, Joell Ortiz, Large Professor & Neek The Exotic, and more. There is a suggested $3 donation to get in to the (free) Lyricist Lounge-sponsored Celebrate Brooklyn show.
While on the subject of Smif N Wessun, the crew joined Pete Rock in a protest earlier this week at City Hall regarding the incident following the Monumental release party at Tammany Hall. General Steele of Smif N Wessun also sat down with Planet Ill to discuss the madness:
As an artist with a socially conscious solo catalog, why was this the wrong show for the police to show out at?Investigations continue.General Steele: Oh yeah. Well they didn't know that; they didn't do their homework. And what I found out was after this event, after the melee they caused, they started going to clubs. I forget what the particular names of the clubs were, uh... UG Lounge, in L.E.S. [(CultureFix is one of them)] Why they would go there is beyond me, maybe they're the hub for criminals or something, but they went there asking about us. Inquiring about "what is these guys, who are they connected with? What is their real thing, what can we dig up on these guys?"
And to think about that is crazy to me.
This is our fifth album. This is our career. We just came from Norway. Before that we was in Czechoslovakia, before that we was in Poland. We do this for a living. Rap is not the side gig.
In other news, Raekwon and Nas recently teamed up for the track "Rich And Black" from Rae's new album Shaolin vs. Wu-tang. That song now has a video and related behind the scenes footage courtesy of LRG Films. Watch it all below.
Nas more recently teamed with Common for "Ghetto Dreams" from Com's forthcoming Warner Brothers release The Dreamer, The Believer. The just-released track can be streamed below and bought on iTunes.
AS announced, Nas and Damian Marley play Central Park Summerstage on 8/11. The show is still happening and tickets are still on sale, though the pair's show at Merriweather Post Pavilion (outside of DC) with The Roots, Chuck Brown and others has been cancelled. Chuck Brown however is also coming to NYC for some shows including one on the same stage Raekwon is playing this weekend in Prospect Park.
And last but certainly not least, Raekwon's partner in crime Ghostface Killah has a bit of legal trouble on his hands all of a sudden over his classic 2000 LP Supreme Clientele.
Hollywood composer Jack Urbont is suing Sony Music Entertainment and Ghostface Killah for illegally sampling his "Iron Man Theme," originally created for the 1960s television show, The Marvel Super Heroes.While you ponder this lawsuit, Boing Boing has a fascinating piece on how Paul's Boutique would lose $19.8M in sales if it followed today's copyright law.Urbont is a veteran actor and producer on Broadway as well as the creator of theme music for Guiding Light, One Life to Live, General Hospital, as well as music for That 70's Show, Oprah, 20/20 and The View. He earned an Emmy for Lorne Greene's New Wilderness and won BMI's TV/Film Pioneer award in 1986.
... According to the complaint: "Defendant Ghostface is also known for the nickname, 'Tony Starks,' which is a take-off of the name 'Tony Stark,' Iron Man's real name and true identity. In this way, Defendants' use of Urbont's 'Iron Man Theme' gives them a substantial commercial advantage by linking Ghostface to Iron Man without paying for it." -[Hollywood Reporter]

Beastie Boys sent out a message this morning with the subject "MSN MSG" which then just said:
This Sat, 10:35 a.m. ESTI guess we'll find out what that means on Saturday.
Just listen, listen, listen to the beat box
In related news, though it doesn't seem very official, lots of people are posting the full, explicit, long version of "Fight for Your Right: Revisited" (the previous officially released video is a shortened version/trailer) which premiered in the middle of the night two nights ago on VH1 and MTV and Comedy Central. The full 21.5 minute video, which someone ripped from TV, if you can get it to play, is below...

Beastie Boys member Mike D says the veteran rap trio is still on track for a 2011 comeback that includes the release of new album "Hot Sauce Committee Part 2" this spring, after Adam Yauch's cancer battle rendered the group inactive for much of 2010.No real new news here, but that there seems to be some confusion on the internet today about the status of Adam Yauch's cancer (at least one big site wrote an article and already pulled it down), and this Billboard article seems to be the one with the facts straight.In a new interview with BBC Radio 1, Mike D confirms that the Beasties' release schedule for its two "Hot Sauce Committee" albums has not changed from what was announced back in October 2010. "It's still delayed - the first one," he says. "The second one is coming out as originally scheduled."
The rapper adds that while the group is "really happy" about Yauch's improved health, touring plans for 2011 are still unclear. "We're still going to have to see how he's [Yauch] doing," says Mike D.Although the BBC Radio 1 interview led to widespread reports that Mike D said Yauch was cancer-free, a spokesperson for the group clarifies to Billboard.com, "Mike did not say that." -[Billboard]

Every year, thousands of Elvis Presley fans make the pilgrimage to Sun Records studio in Memphis, Tennessee to see the place where Elvis recorded his earliest works. For fans of the Beastie Boys, a place of similar importance would be Jerry Williams's studio located at 171 Avenue A in New York City. It was at Studio 171 A that the Beastie Boys would record their very first release on the Ratcage Records label.171A is where Bad Brains recorded one of the most influential hardcore releases of all time, the legendary ROIR cassette, with Williams aka Jay Dublee. Dublee, whose own band was th' Cigaretz, also had a hand in the also legendary "New York Thrash" compilation from 1982 that featured early material from Kraut, Nihilistics, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, and many others, and is considered to be a snapshot of early 80s NYHC.In September of 1980, Jerry Williams would begin renovating the interior of 171A. Previously the place had been a glass shop, but after moving in their PA equipment Williams went on to build a stage at the front and an audio booth in the back. By November the 171A Studio was a venue used to house after hours parties where downtown bands like the Cooties would perform [but] with a huge New Year's Eve show coming up, the New York Fire Dept. stepped in and stopped further shows from proceeding...
By now though 171A had gained a lot of name recognition around town, so instead of shutting it down completely Williams decided to change it into a rehearsal studio. At the time, most of the available rehearsal spots in New York City were tiny little rooms, but 171A offered much more. Jerry described it as being like "...a full sized room with 15 foot ceilings and a floor space 60 feet long and provided recording artists with a quality PA system suspended from the ceiling. It was a cut above other rehearsal studios and since it was about half the size of CBGB's it produced a very similar sound."
Over the next few years, 171A Studio would then go on to be used by the Bad Brains, Reagan Youth, Beastie Boys, Young and Useless and many more. -[Beastiemania]
Jerry Williams would have been 62 years old on Thursday, but sadly passed away in a California hospital room due to, according to his friend Mike Osterhout, liver problems. RIP Jerry.

According to Billboard's 10 Reasons Why ATP Rocked:
The audience turned up Sunday afternoon to see Ricky Powell's famous hip-hop photos, but the pics weren't nearly as memorable as the shutterbug's don't-give-a-sh*t dialogue. For two-and-a half hours, Powell -- a fixture of New York rap and art scene -- downed tequila shots while he gave a first-hand account of hip-hop's '80s rise, dished about the celebs "on his d*ck" (Cindy Crawford, Chris Rock), and told outrageous stories about the "freaky bitches" he met during his weed-dealing days. Powell grew more "open" (as he put it) as the event went on, and only ceased his tirade when the mic was forcibly removed from his hand.Next the acclaimed photographer, famed cable access host, and the "fourth Beastie Boy" Ricky Powell will present a photo slide show at Knitting Factory on 10/2. Tickets are on sale.
Speaking of his cable access show, Ricky Powell recently released the archives of "Rappin' With The Rickster" show for a two DVD set. The first DVD compiles some of his favorite moments from the show, including interviews with Beastie Boys, Russell Simmons, Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze, Run-D.M.C., Kim Gordon & Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), in addition to snippets featuring Eazy E, Beck, Q-Tip, Bobbito Garcia, and much more. The second DVD serves as a feature on Ricky Powell in 2010 "and beyond".
Some videos from the "Rappin with The Rickster" show are below....

Concierge.com's insider take:
With so many rare and beautiful creatures flapping their wings around town, there's some poetic justice in the fact that St. Tropez has one of the best butterfly museums in the world. The collection belonged to the entomologist son of photographer J.H. Lartigue, and occupies his old Provençal-style house. Handsomely displayed under glass, it includes all 250 varieties of butterflies found in France. Harmlessly eccentric and surprisingly interesting.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 2:30 to 6 pm, April through November, or by appointment.
