Heartbreak Songs of My Life
They say the saddest and best love songs were written and made from the pains of a broken heart. Though I may not know the stories behind each love song, I'm sure that somehow, the composer's not-so-good experiences on love are reflected in his or her songs.
I know I can be overly romantic sometimes, but for sure I'm not the only one who remembers all kinds of memories whenever I hear a certain song that reminds me of my past relationships.
Childish? Yes, maybe. But love can make us do certain things we didn't think we can, and drive us to the point where we commit stupid mistakes and act foolishly in front of other people. Before we know it, we become a different person without exactly knowing how.
Love can make us all happy and sad at the same time. It can make us feel loved and taken for granted sometimes. It can make smart people crazy and turn crazy people even crazier.
Love songs can bring back so many memories of pain and joy, that even those who have long moved on from their past relationships are transported back to the times when they were still together and deeply in love.
As for me, aside from the brands of perfume and clothes that they used to wear, certain love songs have the same effect on me. Sometimes, listening to them still makes me wonder what went wrong in the relationship and what I could've done to somehow save it.
If you're wondering what these love songs are, here are some of those that never fail to make me feel sad and emotional—not because I still love the person these remind me of, but because I can relate to the melancholic feeling that the songs give off.
There's No Easy Way to Break Somebody's Heart – Certainly one of James Ingram's classic songs. It talks about how a man tries to break up with his girlfriend without hurting her feelings. But as the title suggests, there really is no easy way to break somebody's heart, because no matter how hard he tries, he knows that the other person would be hurt and suffer because of his decision.
Cracks of My Broken Heart – My most favorite Eric Benet song. The lyrics evokes sad emotions of a person who longs to make his lover stay with him and start their love story once again. Benet's voice is very appropriate for this song and he was able to capture the heartbreaking dilemma of an individual in that kind of situation.
If the Feeling is Gone – Ella Mae Saison sure knows how a woman feels once her partner loses interest or feelings for her. Don't we all want to just hear the truth straight from them rather than spend long, miserable days and nights thinking of what's wrong or what's going on in the other person's mind?
What About Love? – As soon as I heard this song for the first time, I already found myself searching for the lyrics. The melody alone gives off a heartbreaking feeling, and I wouldn't recommend it to those who are still in the process of mending a broken heart. Tears are sure to fall especially if you get to understand what the song is trying to say.
No More Rhyme – Sudden breakups are the worst! I myself experienced this and I swear, nothing compares to the hurt that one feels from this. With her powerful voice, Debbie Gibson was able to deliver the song effectively. Truly, there is no perfect relationship; and if the relationship is to survive, it needs to overcome some hurdles every now and then to make it stronger.
I can go on and on with the list but for now, these are the songs that I could think of. How about you? What are your heartbreak songs? Share them with us and tell us why.

Is Steve Alford the anti-Bob Knight?
For some more insight into the life of UCLA head coach Steve Alford, try this Los Angeles Times profile from 1997. Alford, then 32, was coaching Southwest Missouri State and two years away from his lone Sweet Sixteen appearance.
There's all sorts of anecdotes in the piece, from Alford practicing his shot by tossing Ping-Pong balls into Pringles cans, to him making 218 straight free throws when challenged by a player to beat 23. Most interesting might be his relationship with former coach and mentor Bob Knight, with whom he won an Olympic gold medal in 1984 and an NCAA championship in 1987.
Alford got Knight, a man who thinks "hope" is the worst word in the English language, to tell him this: "I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. You stand for everything this program is about. I don't think I could care about you more than I do if you were my own son." Continue reading
New UCLA head coach Steve Alford: The good, the bad, the ugly
Former New Mexico coach Steve Alford isn't a home-run hit as a coaching hire, but under the circumstances, UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero could have done worse. With Butler's Brad Stevens and VCU's Shaka Smart recommitted to their respective programs, the Bruins' were running out of big-name options.
Alford's recent 10-year extension with the Lobos proved to be a minor obstacle, and Guerrero had clearly been communicating with the coach about the job for at least the past few days. Here's a look at what the 48-year-old Alford brings to Westwood.
The good: Continue reading
Full transcript from UCLA's AD Dan Guerrero on hiring Steve Alford
UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero's opening statement:
Tremendously exciting day for me and the entire UCLA family as we are proud to announce the hiring of Steve Alford as the new men's basketball coach. Since last Sunday, obviously, the last six days have been pretty crazy, quite a whirlwind. There was a great deal of interest from many circles for this job. During the past several days, I received a lot of input from individuals both inside and out of basketball. Around the game of basketball as well. These individuals have provided great input, great insight, and certainly helped contribute to where we are today.
I think what resonated most about these conversations is how much alignment of vision there was between me and many others in terms of the characteristics that were important in the next coach. In Steve Alford, we found exactly what we were seeking. An outstanding coach, a great competitor, an excellent teacher of the game, builder of programs, someone who cares deeply about his players and his family. An individual that values academics, that has established a habit of winning in his respective programs. Maybe more importantly, an individual who really wanted to accept the challenge of being the head coach at the UCLA.
I can't tell you again how thrilled again I am to have Steve and his family join us. I believe he will build this program the right way.
Q: When did you know he became available considering he had just agreed to a contract extension at New Mexico? Continue reading
POLL: How do you feel about UCLA hiring Steve Alford?
UCLA hires New Mexico's Steve Alford
UCLA has officially hired New Mexico head coach Steve Alford, the school announced Saturday morning.
"Steve is the perfect fit for UCLA," athletic director Dan Guerrero said in a statement. "He is part of the storied history of the game of college basketball and understands the tradition and uniqueness of UCLA. Yet he also connects with a new generation of players and brings an up-tempo and team-oriented brand of basketball to Westwood. We welcome Steve, his wife Tanya, and children Kory, Bryce and Kayla to the Bruin family and look forward to many years of success."
Alford will reportedly make $2.6 million per year on a seven-year contract.
The coach had just agreed to a 10-year contract extension with the Lobos that reportedly paid him $2 million a year including incentives, but a buyout of just $150,000 left the door open for the Bruins. The buyout was set to increase to $1 million on April 1. Continue reading
Steve Lavin surprised UCLA didn't have coach 'in the wings'
Former UCLA head coach Steve Lavin decided to pipe in on his old school's coaching search today. On SiriusXM's College Sports Nation channel, he wondered why the Bruins the process has lasted almost a full week since Ben Howland's official firing on Sunday.
"I'm surprised that they didn't have their pick [waiting] in the wings because historically, programs like UCLA, they've got someone in the wings," said Lavin, now coaching at St. John's. "They are kinda treading water, but there's been the wink and the understanding that it is a done deal.
"I know in my case Ben Howland was someone that was really in position six months, maybe even a year, in advance of him becoming the coach." Continue reading
Butler's Brad Stevens turns down UCLA
All the biggest names in UCLA's coaching search are likely off the market.
Butler's Brad Stevens will remain in Indianapolis, multiple reports indicated this morning. The 36-year-old head coach was a top target for the Bruins after the team officially fired Ben Howland on Sunday after 10 seasons. Stevens led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national title games in 2010 and 2011, and will be a critical part of the team's transition to the new Big East next season.
An Indiana native, the coaching wunderkind reportedly makes $1 million a year and has turned down multiple offers from bigger-name programs. Stevens tweeted this morning: "Love walking thru Hinkle (Fieldhouse) in the morning… Anxious to get started on our spring workouts next week." Continue reading
Stevens, a top target, gives 'no comment' on UCLA
While reports indicate that UCLA is strongly pursuing Butler coach Brad Stevens, whether or not the 36-year-old is inclined to leave remains unclear.
First were the late Wednesday night television reports on KTLA and KCAL9 that Stevens was on the Westwood campus yesterday, but the OC Register reported that the coach was definitely in Indianapolis by Thursday morning.
A private jet with the tail number N700QA flew from LAX on Monday and stayed in Indianapolis for almost exactly 24 hours; rumors abound that the plane carried UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero or another administration member, but that is also unconfirmed.
When approached by the Indianapolis Star this morning at Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse, Stevens mouthed the words "no comment." Continue reading
Gottfried tweets commitment to N.C. State
#WPN I am committed to being at @ncstate for a long time Still as dedicated to rebuilding the program as I was 2 yrs ago when I arrived
— Mark Gottfried (@Mark_Gottfried) March 28, 2013
North Carolina State head coach Mark Gottfried reaffirmed his commitment to the school via Twitter on Wednesday night. Although he wasn't a popular fan pick to fill the UCLA vacancy left by the recently fired Ben Howland, the former Bruins assistant had been mentioned as a candidate.
The 49-year-old worked on Jim Harrick's staff during the 1995 national championship run. A source said Gottfried — who just finished his second season in Raleigh — was interested but had not been contacted by UCLA, adding that former players were supportive of his hire. SNY.tv previously reported that Bruins boosters wanted Gottfried.

In the mouse, each class of olfactory receptor neurons expressing a given odorant receptor has convergent axonal projections to two specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, thereby creating an odour map. However, it is unclear how this map is represented in the olfactory cortex. Here we combine rabies-virus-dependent retrograde mono-trans-synaptic labelling with genetics to control the location, number and type of 'starter' cortical neurons, from which we trace their presynaptic neurons. We find that individual cortical neurons receive input from multiple mitral cells representing broadly distributed glomeruli. Different cortical areas represent the olfactory bulb input differently. For example, the cortical amygdala preferentially receives dorsal olfactory bulb input, whereas the piriform cortex samples the whole olfactory bulb without obvious bias. These differences probably reflect different functions of these cortical areas in mediating innate odour preference or associative memory. The trans-synaptic labelling method described here should be widely applicable to mapping connections throughout the mouse nervous system.

FactsSubmitted by guestguest (not verified) on Thu, 03/21/2013 - 6:19pm.
It is very easy to see if you all open your eyes. At 00:56 in the video Mr. W is still behind the patrol car. his speedometer is clearly visible at 63mph in a 60 for that area. it is ridiculous for anyone to question the speed. the officer was going the speed limit. The passing to the right is questionable.. I believe that its an on ramp and that lane continues until the next exit. Also the law is not clear weather 1 and 2 subsections apply together or stand apart. If they apply together than a vehicle has to be making a left turn and another lane be available to the right with sufficient room to over take that vehicle. I am not defending the cop what he did in the video was wrong. however after all is said in done they both made mistakes. charge one charge the other. »

Admin Assistant Jobs
Administrative Assistant Job Overview
Secretary and administrative assistant jobs require consummate office-productivity skills, a knack for organization, a way with people and flexibility under pressure.
Administrative assistant work typically includes a variety of clerical and organizational tasks, including answering phones; scheduling appointments and meetings; booking travel; photocopying and filing; expense accounting; and creating and editing documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
Executive administrative assistant employment is based on the same kinds of skills performed by staff-level admins, but for a smaller group of very demanding employees, mainly high-level executives.
Administrative Assistant Education
For office administration jobs, experience is typically more important than formal education or training. But most employers require a high school diploma, and many prefer a college degree. Executive administrative assistant job openings may be more likely to require or prefer candidates with a bachelor's degree.
Administrative assistants almost universally must demonstrate proficiency with office-productivity software, typically Microsoft Office.
Administrative Assistant Salaries
The median admin salary was $31,870 in 2011, according to the BLS. Median salaries for executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants were $45,580.

bmwwife Posts: 29Federal law says that the window sticker must be on the vehicle.
I wouldn't get one without the xenons. Think how PO'd you'd be if you ran into a deer tomorrow that you otherwise may have seen and avoided if you had xenons.
I'd tell them to get you one with xenons or forget it. That's outrageous. -
starfish40 Posts: 1Just purchased today a 2003 3.0 Topaz Blue/Beige and I should be THRILLED, but to tell you the truth, I am excited, but a bit pissed off and would like some recommendations. First thanks to all for the candid feedback when I took a test drive last week (although that thread got a bit crazy....)when I was deciding between the X5 and the RX 330. So... went with the X5 and I am psyched - it is beautiful, drives great, big grin on my face, except for one thing. As I was literally driving the vehicle out of the dealership showroom (after the sales rep went over everything), he said to me, "oh, I thought this had the Xenon's on it, and it doesnt... oh well.." (after he described exactly how the Xenon's work during the reveiw, I might add)I drove off, a bit in shock, as when we reviewed what was included in this vehicle he said, Premium, Cold Weather, Rear Climate and Xenon's. So, when I negotiated the price, wrote the check, and when he reviewed the car with me, I assumed that was what was in it. I should be SO THRILLED right now, with the amazing car in my garage, but this is really bothering me - appears to be so sleazy (or just a mistake ?). Just went out to review the paperwork and unfolded the sticker listing everything (it was not on the window when I test drove it or bought it) and the Xenon's are not listed. How do I deal with this?
carnaught Desert SWPosts: 1,639It does not appear that you have much recourse on being shafted on your lack of xenons. I would still voice my displeasure to your sales person. Recount to him/her what your discussion was during your negotiations, your recollection of how he detailed you at the time of your taking delivery of the car, and the xenons "conveniently" left off the paper work. Furthermore, reaffirm that your price was predicated upon the car having the xenons, and that the whole experience leaves you with a very sour feeling both for the dealership and especially the sales person. Depending how strong you feel about this, you may want to indicate that the issue would make you not to want to deal with the dealeship again. This will neither get you your xenons or a refund but will express your displeasure and this may get you a small "perk" such as a free detail or something else. This is hardly consolation for your disappointment, but will give you and your frustration some closure.
billfish Posts: 16Ok, now that I have the birth of my 2nd child two mo's behind me I can get onto some more important things like BMW's!!!!!.........just a little humor there folks.
Seriously, I waited until after this sig event to restart my hunt for an X5. Slightly used 03' would have been fine but the cost of those are prohibitive vs 04'to me. Perhaps it is best to just order the 04' (unless I found a dealer with one sitting there skimmed down on the options...which is not likely as I would figure they load em' up fairly heavy? and I just don't need/and can not afford some of them as I am on a budget) so.....My question to someone is...how can I locate the real invoice price that the dealer will pay? I want this information so I can negoitate a fair deal and move on. I know earlier BMW offered some incentives both hidden and not on the 3's/5 er's which made for some interesting deals being talked about on a great car. I haven't found any incentives yet for the X5 04'. Joatmon told me so. May not exist at this time? Does anyone know the best way to obtain this invoice price on the X that will show the same for the options? I suppose I could just ask the dealer for a copy but I would have no way of knowing if this is indeed the real price they paid or some used piece of paper from the mens room? I am planning on spending my destination charge by picking it up at the plant. I figure I might as well break myself in by wrecking theirs! ;-)Any pissed off x-bmw dealers out there want a stab at this question?.....lol.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions/input -
billfish Posts: 16You peeps probably know about this ....For 12 bucks you can get a copy of retail/invoice/wholesale for any car. I had already found most of the info except what some of the options cost/invoice which could be well worth the 12 bucks spent alone if you save a few k. Decent report which includes some safety and reliability rankings. Would be valid for comparison sake if the dealer claimed you were way off in price for those options? Not mentioned however is BMW's selling platform as opposed to holdback, etc. Not that they..BMW.. should reveal how they structure sales...that would be hard to do and use but they didn't mention that BMW eliminated the traditional holdback.(so we can quit looking for the holy price!!!) "It" exsists but not in the form we might be looking for. Looks like the best way to score here is find a dealer close to reaching a sales goal or platform...where ever they may be located...and help them acheive that goal and you get a fair price hopefully. That means spreading out your search coast to coast. For me that won't be difficult as I am going to be ordering my from the fac. It's about as close as I can come to what I want without buying too too many options. Even the fac route is limited.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,981Heck, you can the pricing info here, plus reviews and comments to keep you occupied for weeks.
We'll even tell you what others in your zipcode are currently paying so you'll have a target price to beat (see TMV).

art44 Posts: 12I received a similar email from the internet sales manager at Allison BMW. It applied only to in-stock vehicles (except M's). They only had X5 3.0's in stock and 2003 4.4's. I think that deal expired. I ended up ordering a 2004 4.4 from a dealership that gave me a little discount off MSRP.
hermann2 Posts: 6The 4.4 engines have all gone to the new 545, 645 and 745. You are lucky if you can find one 4.4i X5 with your preferred options. Those who have ordered the X5 4.4i will need to hold their breaths. It may take another 2 months to have the car delivered. The salesman will probably tell you expected delivery within one month, or give you a very good discount on the 3.0i. He hope that you won't go to the Porsche or MB dealership next door to get a new SUV on the same day. Shame on the BMW production management.
nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 8,228My Dad ordered his first BMW today! He's getting a 2004 Sterling Gray/Black Leather X5 3.0iA with Steptronic (iA), Cold Weather, Rear Climate, Lumbar, Xenon, Premium Package, and Sport Package.
He ended up paying $1000 over invoice after a few days of back and forth negotiations which comes out to $48,845.
He's going to lease the X5 for 42 months including 20K miles per year, NYC taxes rolled in, 51% residual, and 5.16% interest (money factor) with a $0 cap cost reduction. Payments are going to be $835/month.
This may seem high to some, but with the 20K per year mileage the residual is lower compared to a 10, 12, or 15K per year lease.
I worked with Wide World of Cars in SPring Valley, NY and are very pleased with the results.2001 Prelude Type SH, 2011 Pilot EX-L 4WD, 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium
hzhao Posts: 28Just made the purchase on a 2004 X5 4.4i with Primer, CD changer, Cold weather, real climate, heated steering wheel and real seat, parking distance control and Navigation. Paid Total of $45305 out the door with my trade in of 99 Lexus RX300. I think it is a fair deal in my area. The only frustration that I have is to locate the color that I want (silver/gray). According the search result, there are only 8 X5 with such configuration available (varies colors), I might have to wait for the new build order, and it could take up to six weeks. Since I have waited that long to made the purchase, it will be fine to wait for a little longer.....
fzara2003 Posts: 12I am planning on getting an X5, but I am unsure if I should press the button.
The car is equipped with:
Rear Climate Control
Premium Package
Navigation System
Cold Weather Package
Steptronic Automatic Trans.
I am getting the car for $599/month, for 42 months, with a $2100 cap cost reduction (down payment). -
nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 8,228Why are you going to give them $2100? All you're doing is lowering your monthly payment by $50. If your X5 gets stolen or wrecked before the lease is up, you lose that $2100. Does the $599 include Tax as well?
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2011 Pilot EX-L 4WD, 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium
fzara2003 Posts: 12I have to give the $2100 down, because of the company's lease agreement. The monthly payments cannot go above $600/month, which is why I am offering a $2100 down payment.
The X5 is a titanium silver with gray leather.
However, the vehicle has been on the lot since December of 03', and I am still hesitant if I should take the car, considering it is not equipped with the Xenons.
One of the real gripes of this car, is that I feel it was equipped wrong-I think the titanium silver, fully loaded with a MSRP of around 49k having no xenons was a bad build.
Whats everyone's take on this? -
ranajo Posts: 50I am looking at a 2004 BMW X5 with a MSRP of approximately $49800.
With excellent credit including a FICO score of 748, I was wondering what sort of money factor and residual value would be appropriate. I have in mind a 48 month lease with annual mileage of 12K with zero capital reduction.
As far as I know, BMW is not offering any incentivized leasing programs.
I'd appreciate any feedback. -
h2fan Posts: 27Can I get Rear Climate package without Premium package? The sales guy at one of the dealerships said yes but the brochure tells me otherwise. Can someone help?
On another note, I just want privacy glass. I am ok with base + auto + sunroof. I can not justify getting premium package for getting privacy glass. Has anyone been in the same situation? Any suggestions?
blockislandguy Posts: 336Yes, BMW does offer incentives on a continuing basis. Just join and belong for one year to the BMWCCA and you get (varying)factory deals. Cost? I think I paid $35 and you get their excellent mag, Roundel. Naturally, no impulse buyers need apply. But when we spend 50K we all plan ahead, right guys?

Have you watched it???
I watched it with my mom last night...can you say awkward? Cause that was incredibly awkward. All on my part though, I'm sure. With the girls kissing and stuff. I don't even remember there being that much kissing in the movie but it sure seemed like there was an awful lot of it. Especially after they are chased by "Orson Welles" and they reenact how their saints would "make love". Anyways it was awkward for me to watch it with her, who I'm used to hearing her say "eww" every time gay people kiss EVER. But she didn't we just sat in darkness and watched the movie.

Newcastle Insist 'No Bid Has Been Made For Striker'!
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains Newcastle United's No1 transfer target BUT Newcastle United insist the rumour they had offered St Etienne £15m is well wide of the mark.
The Magpies were reported to have had an £15m bid for the Gabon forward rejected yesterday, but NU-Mad understands that is NOT true.
St Etienne hoping to get around £16m for their star player.
Newcastle are unlikely to spend that much on the African, and will wait and see what develops from other interested clubs.
Aubameyang – who has also been linked with Tottenham, Monaco and AC Milan – is believed to want to play Champions League football next season, but that won't put the Magpies off either.

The Better Business Bureau of Acadiana is alerting consumers to recent travel scams. One scam includes a phone call to your hotel room after you have settled in. The hotel clerk tells you there was a mistake when at check-in then asks you to confirm your credit card number. But the clerk is actually a scammer who just tricked a consumer into giving up credit card information.
Other scams include tracking devises placed on or near public ATMs that steal credit card information as it is entered into the machine.
A third form of travel-related identity theft involves public Wi-Fi. Use caution when checking your bank account over the web while on the road, as hotel, restaurant or airport wireless internet networks may have poor or, even worse, no security, leaving consumers vulnerable to identity theft and the loss of all funds in their accounts.
To prevent identity theft or minimize the damage, vacationers should contact their bank beforehand and give them a "travel alert."
This lets banks know you will be using debit or credit cards away from your home area. The call also helps financial institutions to remain vigilant and detect identity theft before it becomes a major problem that could cut a vacation short or leave travelers stranded until the issues are resolved.
There are steps consumers can take while on the road to avoid problems and enjoy their time away without problems or worry. BBB suggests the following security tips:

NFL hopeful says Broncos' Royal "toughest" he ever faced
Posted By Jeff Legwold On March 1, 2010 @ 4:18 pm In AFC West,General Broncos,NFL draft,NFL Teams,Wide Receiver | 4 Comments
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels has said he'd like to figure out more ways to get wide receiver Eddie Royal the ball in the 2010 season.
At least one NFL hopeful would agree.
University of Virginia cornerback Chris Cook, one of the bigger cornerbacks on this year's draft board, was asked Monday to name the toughest receivers to cover that he faced in his college career.
"Calvin Johnson, my sophomore year, and Eddie Royal," said Cook, who led the Cavaliers this season with four interceptions.
That's some fast company for Royal. Johnson was the second pick overall in the 2007 NFL draft having been selected by the Lions just after the Raiders opened the draft by grabbing quarterback JaMarcus Russell.
Cook said Johnson's size and athleticism made him difficult to cover while it was Royal's quickness and ability to come out of his cuts full speed.
McDaniels said this past weekend one of the goals for the upcoming season was to find a way to get Royal and other players, like Peyton Hillis, more involved in the team's offense.
"There's a few players, obviously, the productivity maybe the year before they didn't match it again last year," McDaniels said. "We're not happy about that either. Eddie Royal's kind of the same way, we want those players to continue to work and try to get better at what they do and then we need to try to find a way to integrate them in because they're all skillful players who do good things with the football in their hands."
Royal finished with 37 catches this past season and did not have a receiving touchdown. In 2008, as a rookie, Royal had 91 receptions and five touchdowns.
"He was tough for me, I know that," Cook said.

For Kids
Blue Slide Playground
If you are traveling down Beechwood Boulevard and see lines of children heading down the street with cardboard boxes in hand, you know they're headed for the Blue Slide. The popular playground at Beechwood Boulevard and English Lane takes its name from the slide built into the rolling topography of the land, but there is much more to discover here. A castle-themed playground occupies the lower level of the playground, ascending to the Blue Slide, and then finally to a climbing structure where kids can see the downtown Pittsburgh skyline.
Forbes & Braddock Playground
The regional playground at the corner of Forbes and Braddock Avenues draws thousands of children each year to its "creek" and fish-filled "lagoon." The playground is based on a nature theme and includes an imaginary stream and natural rock displays with native plantings. "Frick Creek" winds its way through the play structure and ends up at "Forbes Lagoon," a wheelchair-accessible play zone with fish spring rockers. Three entrances to the playground feature imprints sandblasted into concrete in the shapes of white oak, sugar maple, and sycamore leaves.

The re-emergence in the Nineties of films featuring African Americans has reinforced the idea of the black-film soundtrack as an American institution. Outstanding collections such as Above the Rim, Waiting to Exhale, and Juice have continued the tradition set in the Seventies with masterworks like Trouble Man, Superfly, and Shaft. Whether the films are considered good or not, these soundtracks are important in that they represent the cutting edge of a certain African-American aesthetic, both musically and culturally, at a given time in America.
Love Jones, the new Nia Long/Larenz Tate romance yarn, offers an interesting take on the black-film soundtrack. Hip-hop is conspicuous here by its absence, but that's okay: things are strictly on the late-night tip. The Fugees' Lauryn Hill gives a hint of what her inevitable solo career will offer with the tender "The Sweetest Thing." The Brand New Heavies, now without N'dea Davenport, contribute one of the funkier things they've done in a while with "I Like It." Retro-soul crooners Maxwell and Kenny Lattimore each come correct, the former with a dope remix of his Hang Suite hit "Sumthin' Sumthin,'" and the latter with the very cool "Can't Get Enough." "Rush Over" is vintage Me'Shell NdegeOcello, all romantic poetics and fat bass lines that are accentuated nicely by Marcus Miller. Dionne Farris has matured incredibly as a vocalist, as she displays on the melancholy "Hopeless." Cassandra Wilson, Groove Theory, and Trina Broussard also shine on the set.
What's striking about all of the music here is that it becomes an alternative looking glass into this decade's urban musical landscape. This may be fly bedroom music with no agenda other than an invitation between the sheets, but in light of the passing of the Notorious B.I.G., Love Jones makes an interesting statement as black music stumbles toward whatever the so-called post-gangsta era will bring.

Freedy Johnston
Never Home
Freedy Johnston's fourth album begins with "On The Way Out," a smart and catchy song about a shoplifter. "Wonder if I am gonna pay," Johnston has the character say -- perhaps wondering about a clerk who may or may not have him nailed, maybe just musing on what his life holds in store -- and it's just this sort of small but tightly packed moment that has critics marveling over Johnston's short-storylike compositions.
Because he's working within the singer-songwriter tradition, Johnston gets compared to Joni Mitchell a lot, and even to James Taylor, but these comparisons are frankly bizarre. Never Home's "Gone to See the Fire" (about a woman who suspects her boyfriend may be an arsonist) and "One More Thing to Break" (about an alcoholic who knows his girlfriend is ashamed of him) are clearly more character-based than confessional, so the truth is that Johnston's art owes more to Warren Zevon, say, or Randy Newman, except that it's never cynical or condescending. Even when his characters are threatening to be jerks -- like the man in "If It's True" who may or may not be planning to bail on a lover who may or may not be pregnant -- you can always tell that Johnston really likes his characters.
Of course, if Johnston's lyrics weren't coupled with infectious tunes and vocals, nobody would be going on about the words anyway. The real secret of his success as an artist is that he's a great pop rocker with an infallible ear for purposeful arrangements. The instantly catchy "I'm Not Hypnotized" and "You Get Me Lost" sound like the kind of songs Marshall Crenshaw should be doing, and the way "Western Sky" and "Seventies Girl" move gracefully from quiet and acoustic to swelling and electric is absolutely gorgeous.
The only potential inadequacy is Johnston's thin voice. He sings in such a choppy, straining fashion that sometimes he almost sounds as if he's making it up as he goes along. Except that his voice feels all the more sincere and affecting for its inadequacies, and except that each line adds up, every word matters. And it's only when I'm humming along for the fourth or tenth time that his lyrics really begin to work theirmagic. If Never Home hadn't sounded so cool from the start, I wouldn't have gotten that far in the first place.

Solomon Burke
The Definition of Soul
Back in the Sixties, Solomon Burke was among a handful of artists who helped create and define soul music, which united the sanctified vocal intensity of gospel with the secular lyrical concerns of rhythm and blues. Unfortunately, despite its promising title, there are few soul-defining moments on Burke's latest set.
As a former child minister, Burke's gospel roots run deep, but you'll have a hard time proving that here. Instead of the impassioned, raw testifying he's always been known for, Burke opts mostly for a relatively staid, Lou Rawls-style of deep-voiced crooning. On most cuts, the exceedingly bland synth-dominated backing tracks lull you into a deep, contemporary-funk sleep; even a duet between Burke and Little Richard is surprisingly tepid, producing neither the fireworks nor the histrionics you would expect from two singers who are billed in this album's liner notes as the respective Kings of Soul and Rock and Roll.

Is the universe full or empty? What does it mean to meditate on emptiness? The buddhist concept of emptiness can be deceiving – nothing is actually empty at all… like a Buddhist hot dog, one with everything. Emptiness means that there is not one item in reality that can stand independently of others. Everything is inter-connected.
How did this coffee cup come to being in my hand? It was purchased at a store, which means that a store had to be in existence for me to purchase the cup, and the store manager had to order it from a manufacturer and have it delivered, and the cup wouldn't have existed if it hadn't been designed by someone, and realized by others, and if those had not been born, this particular type of cup wouldn't have existed at all – which brings us to birth, going back generations and generations.
What emptiness really means is that everything is co-dependent. Every part of our reality is connected. What we call the Global Economy is an obvious manifestation of this principle: if one country does something, everyone else will be affected by it to some extent, like an amplified "butterfly effect" – as a butterfly flips its wings in Beijing, weather patterns may change in Alaska…which means that within this framework of interconnectedness, our music could be much more meaningful and affecting than it would have seemed at first. Every note, every vibration of an instrument, every movement of a human being playing an instrument, every feeling invested in the music and communicated, is potentially affecting everything else – and the consciousness that is projected through that music and the people putting it forth is an aspect of the composition framework that should not be ignored.
This notion of interdependence is outlined in detail in The Meaning of Life from a Buddhist Perspective by The Dalai Lama (translated and edited by Jeffrey Hopkins, 1993 publication of lectures given in 1984), but was made much more clear by a casual and yet enlightening newer book, The Wisdom of Forgiveness by The Dalai Lama and Victor Chan (2004).

very noisey and grindey
Bought 4 of these 9540x reels. Salt water salmon fishing. After 1 yr. ALL these reels became noisy & started grinding. I have 2 Diawa KIX and 2 Stradics 5 years old, no problems. All my reels get the same treatment. Water bottled pray rinsed and oiled after each fishing session. Had them serviced the bearings it seems are kaput. Will try and get new non Pflueger bearings. Unfortunately cant find schematics on this site. Reels looks and feels great,excellent casting and very braid friendly. Lift your game Pflueger. Better bearings and you have the best reel on the market for the price .

I bought two of these reels, a 9525X and a 9530X. Both are great reels! I am comparing them in smoothness of operation and smmothness of the drag systems to reels costing 3 times as much and I am impressed.

More than happy with the Patriarch!
I bought the Patriarch in May of 2013. During the summer I go bass fishing exclusively on the famous Menominee River and this reel performed flawlessly. Ultra-smooth operation, lightweight without feeling cheap, and the design is fantastic. The only problem with the Patriarch is that it makes my old reel feel like a rusty meat-grinder in comparison! Worth the money.

Outstanding customer service
Great reel. I had an issue with mine and I was personally lax on sending in the warranty card. The issue was resolved in my favor without question. This surpassed my expectations. The reel itself is the best out there - just look at the weight the materials, the specs. Then, use the reel. In use it will confirm that there is nothing better regardless of price.

Smooth, Stout but noisy
I have several Pflueger reels but only one Patriarch (the 35 size). The reel is smooth and very stout after several years of salt water use. The casting range is great with Suffix 832 20lb test line. My only issue is it is noisy. I sounds like the bail is loose and makes a loud click on every revolution when under a load. I have several Supreme XLT's and they are flawless. For the price difference I would think it would be the other way around.

It's a gem
My initial impression of this reel is that it is a gem. The finish appears to be perfect, which is important in salt water; the weight is unbelievably light; and the retrieve and drag are smooth as silk. I haven't been able to put this reel to a test, but I anticipate nothing will change, but if it does, there will be a follow-up review.

Worth every penny
I purchased 1 in spinning, 3 in casting. No issues with any of them. Work flawlessly and will be purchasing more spinning patriarchs in the near future to replace all my other spinning reels. I would highly recommend. Very consistent drag and a easy flip on the bail not to mention super light

BDSM has gained mainstream attention lately, thanks in part to Fifty Shades of Grey, a book with an S&M relationship at its center. Maureen Dowd even devoted her latest column to the book and the criticism it's garnered from actual practitioners of BDSM (which stands for bondage and domination, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism). And this weekend, safe and consensual BDSM sex was a major topic at MomentumCon, a yearly convention on sexuality, feminism, and relationships. Shift talked to some of the presenters from that conference and other experts about what everyone can learn from bondage and the people who do it.

In September, Habitat for Humanity affiliates and national organizations around the world celebrate the organization's foundational Christian principles through Building on Faith week. It's a time to reflect on the faith from which Habitat was born more than three decades ago, the teachings that drive the organization's conviction that families should have decent places to live, the belief system that propels the participation of so many volunteers, supporters and partners. It's also a time to honor all of those from diverse backgrounds who come together to build houses and bridges, Habitat providing an ecumenical place for different faiths to take united action for a common cause. Personal faith is not the motivating factor for all Habitat volunteers. People come to the work—and stay to help—for myriad reasons, and all are welcome. But throughout its history, Habitat's mission has been based on the idea that we serve God by serving others, and this issue of Habitat World examines the deep connections that exist between belief and building.

The melodic sounds of fiddles, accordions, guitars and more will be coming from Louis Armstrong Park over the weekend of June 14-15 as the Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival moves to a new location in its eighth year.
Formerly held on the grounds of the Old U.S. Mint, adjacent to the French Market, the new location gives the festival more room to spread out and accommodate what organizers are calling "a major expansion of our food operations, with a strong emphasis on that most seasonal Louisiana specialty," shrimp.
And, of course, like all true New Orleans festivals, there will be plenty of music, food (especially our world-famous Cajun cuisine) and exquisite handcrafted items that could only come from centuries of bayou culture. The musical lineup has not yet been finalized but some of the greats of the Cajun and Zydeco genres have already confirmed their intent to perform, including:
- Buckwheat Zydeco
- BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet with special guest Jo-El Sonnier
- "Zydeco Sweetheart" Rosie Ledet
Additional performers for the Eighth Annual Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival will be announced as the date gets closer. For updates on performers, stages and performance times visit www.jazzandheritage.org/cajun-zydeco.
The festival will be open from 11:00 a.m.-7:30 p.m. on both days and admission is free. Louis Armstrong Park is located in the 900 block of North Rampart Street, between St. Peter and St. Philip streets, opposite the French Quarter.
Festival Policies
The Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival is a free event. The sponsors ask that you help keep this event free by patronizing their food and beverage vendors. Except for those with specific dietary restrictions or special needs, patrons are asked not to bring coolers or ice chests with outside food and beverages.
Camp chairs or folding chairs are welcome. Out of respect for other patrons please do not bring pets to the festival. Also, audio and/or video recording of any performances at the festival is not permitted.
The Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival is hosted by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation, title sponsors of the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. For more information log on to www.jazzandheritage.org/cajunzydeco/ or call 504-558-6100.

I'm looking for ideas for storage under an Armorlid Cover. I don't really need locking storage, like a metal tool box, but I was hoping someone had a good solution for loose items like bungees, jumper cables, 4 way lug wrench, etc., etc. Maybe a particular plastic or rubber box.
I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

The manufacturers does not make it easy for people to make a purchase decision when it comes to which tablet to get, or when to buy it. With the news that both Samsung and LG are preparing to launch new ultra-high resolution tablets screens many might start asking themselves if they should wait even a bit longer.
Samsung has announced an all new 10.1-inch tablet display which will have a 2560 x 1600 resolution and according to Samsung themselves will consume 40 percent less power than current screen technology. Their new 300 dpi ultra-high resolution screens is said to compare favorably to amongst other Apple's Retina display. It will be interesting to see if the new screens will find their way into the Samsung Galaxy 10.1-inch tablet by the end of the year.
But Samsung are not the only ones believed to be ready to deliver ultra-high resolution screens to smartphones and tablets, as LG is also preparing to launch their new range of Retina quality displays at next weeks Society for Information Display (SID) in Los Angeles. It is believed that the new LG screens will finally bring Retina quality display to the next generation Apple iPad 3, as well as of course offering higher quality tablet screens for the overall tablet market.
There is no official information as to when these screens will be available on devices in the general tablet market, but we can expect a new ultra-high resolution tablet screen race between manufacturers, with it likely coming down to a race between Apple and Samsung/LG.
Hope is that this might be the screen technology that will be used in the rumored Google Nexus tablet or the Amazon Android tablet (both are just speculations at the moment).

Many of the world's best golfers are in Miami this week for the WGC-Cadillac Championship, the beginning of an unofficial five-week march to the Masters. That includes Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott (pictured below), who spent the practice days working on controlling his Pro V1 golf ball in Doral's blustery conditions.Adam is one of 41 Titleist golf balls players in the field this week, more than four times the nearest competitor with 10 and more than all competitors combined. Titleist is also first in iron sets (18); and sand, lob and approach wedges (62).
Check out all of Team Titleist's pics from the practice days, including a closer at some of the Titleist equipment being used to battle The Blue Monster this week, in the slideshow below.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Rory McIlroy's journey to the winner's circle at The Honda Classic was less about four days of great golf than it was many, many months of it.Trusting a Pro V1x golf ball and 14 Titleist clubs, McIlroy gutted out a two-shot victory Sunday evening at PGA National that brought into the spotlight his remarkable run of consistency.Only once in his last 12 starts around the world has McIlroy finished outside the top 5 on the leader board.It's a streak that started last September at the Omega European Masters. A couple weeks later at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, McIlroy was fit for his new Titleist MB (712 Series) irons and Vokey Design SM4 wedges and put them directly in the bag."I feel like I've always been a pretty confident guy. But I think I've got a lot more belief in myself now when I'm going down the stretch," said McIlroy, who closed with a 1-under 69 Sunday at PGA National for a 12-under 268 total.He finished two shots ahead of two players, including fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Tom Gillis (Pro V1), who earned the best finish of his career.It marked McIlroy's fifth win as a professional and third PGA Tour title, including his historic eight-shot victory at last year's U.S. Open.In 2012, Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x players have combined for 23 wins across the worldwide professional tours, more than eight times the nearest competitor with three and more than all competitors combined.All you need to know about McIlroy's week is in the statistics.He led the field in Scrambling at 83.3 percent (21 of 25), solidifying his victory with a trio of up-and-downs on the back nine, two of them on PGA National's infamous "Bear Trap" (Hole Nos. 15 through 17).All of them with a Vokey Design SM4 60•04º wedge in his hands.McIlroy faced his toughest lie of the week at the par-4 14th, his Pro V1x barely visible under the long rough, 65 yards from the hole. He powered his SM4 wedge through the grass and watched his Pro V1x hit and stop 4 feet from the cup."The up‑and‑down at 14 was probably the best one I had made all week," he said.On the par-13 15th, McIlroy was faced with a dangerous shot toward the water from the back bunker. He pulled his Vokey Design SM4 60•04º wedge, blasted his Pro V1x out to 6 feet and made par. He did it again from a bunker on the par-3 17th, his ball stopping 4 feet from the hole."My short game all week has been very good, and it's what you need on a tough golf course like this," said McIlroy, who one-putted for of his final six holes. "I was able to do that, especially on 15 and 17. I needed to make pars there."McIlroy finished among the top 10 in several other key statistical categories. He was eighth in Driving Distance (297.6 yards) and Sand Saves (77.8%), tied for 10th in Greens in Regulation (66.7%), tied for 6th in Putts Per Round (27.3), and was 5th in Strokes Gained-Putting (1.566).McIlroy was one of 91 players in the field that relied on a Titleist golf ball for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 19 and more than all competitors combined. Titleist was also No. 1 in iron sets (37); sand, lob and approach wedges (121); and putters (55).Here' a closer look at McIlroy's Titleist equipment:Ball: Titleist Pro V1xDriver: Titleist 910D2 8.5º (Fujikura Rombax 7V05 X)Fairways: Titleist 906F2 13º & 18º (Fujikura ZCom 95 X)Irons: Titleist MB (712 Series) 3-9 (Project X Rifle 7.0)Wedges: Vokey Design SM4 46•07º, 54•08º, 60•04º (Project X Rifle 6.5)Putter: Scotty Cameron GSS Newport prototype (w/ Deep milled face)• NATIONWIDE TOUR: Edward Loar (Pro V1x) broke a five-way tie with a birdie on Sunday's 16th hole and parred in to win the Panama Claro Championship.

- Chain necklace (I found mine at Forever 21)
- Wire cutters
- Jump rings
- Jewelry pliers (flat nose to open and close jump rings)
- Optional: rhinestones by the yard
To determine placement for cutting lengths, put necklace onto head and position where comfortable/desired. Giving yourself plenty of clearance so that the cut chains do not reach your eyes, mark cutting points.
Remove necklace from head and place on work surface. Cut off chains to desired lengths according to measurements that you marked. Before you cut too many, place back on head to determine if cuts are correct. Save the excess chain that you are cutting off.
Vary the lengths slightly for a nice look.
Using jump rings and pliers, add the cut pieces back to the necklace to add more volume to the front area - what I now call the chain bangs.
- If desired, add additional bead drops or rhinestones by the yard to bling out your new headpiece.

ImageBrief takes total funding to $2.2 million
PUBLISHED: 21 Mar 2013 03:02:00 | UPDATED: 22 Mar 2013 06:59:50PUBLISHED: 21 Mar 2013 PRINT EDITION: 22 Mar 2013Jessica Gardner
Online photography start-up ImageBrief has lured former CVC Asia Pacific executive Adrian MacKenzie and Betfair chairman Andrew Klok to participate in a $700,000 capital raising. The latest round, which also includes follow-on funding from Square Peg Ventures, the investment vehicle backed by Seek co-founder Paul Bassat and Justin Liberman, brings the total raised by the digital venture to $2.2 million over the past two years.
The company matches freelance photographers with clients that want stock photography to match a specific brief. Chief executive Simon Moss moved the company's headquarters to New York in late 2012 to be close to major advertising and creative agencies, which make up the bulk of ImageBrief's clients. Most agencies use the incumbents, Getty and Corbis, for images but the start-up is making ground with its disruptive crowd-sourced play.
ImageBrief chairman Anthony Pascoe says the start-up has answered just over 1500 briefs from customers. "This [new] capital is to extend the runway to keep building on the success of the business," Mr Pascoe said.
ImageBrief originally raised $600,000 in 2011, following a pitch to Sydney angel investment network Innovation Bay. A further $900,000 was raised in 2012.
Although raising capital is known to be tough and time consuming, Mr Pascoe said the company's continual search for funds had not detracted from the running of the business and didn't reflect it was running out of money. "This is all on track and in line with plan," he said. "If you've got a powerful value proposition and you can show some traction and momentum, you're able to get investor momentum."
Mr MacKenzie has been keeping a low profile since leaving CVC in September 2012. However, he seems to have a keen interest in the online start-up space, also participating in Canva's $1.6 million seed round.
"[Mr MacKenzie] is a great guy and we're very pleased to have him on board," Mr Pascoe said. "The quality of players in the eco-system just keeps getting better and better."

Tournament Report
A new chapter in poker history was written tonight at Commerce Casino when, for the first time, a major open tournament was won by a film celebrity. Playing a very strong game, relaxed and obviously enjoying himself immensely, actor Ben Affleck took down the championship event of 2004 California State Poker Championship, $9,900+$100 no-limit hold'em, winning $356,400 and a $25,000 seat in next April's Bellagio/WPT championship event. His final opponent was journeyman pro Stan Goldstein. Finishing third was another show business figure, film/TV producer Chuck Pacheco, who finished 41st in this year's WSOP championship. Between them, Affleck and Pacheco (and sweater Toby Maguire) attracted probably the largest entourage for any poker tournament. In a brief speech, Affleck said he got lucky and complimented Goldstein as a great player. Afterwards, he said he was also pleased that he didn't win by just sucking out and showed he wasn't a "complete donkey." He indeed had the best hands when he knocked out Pacheco (5-5 vs. Ac-Qc) and Goldstein (J-J vs. Ad-10d). Affleck is an avid student of the game who paid tribute to such players as Annie Duke, Antonio Esfandiari, Allen Cunningham and Gabe Kaplan for tutoring him. He said he also learned something tonight from Goldstein, who once outplayed him and forced him to fold when they both held the same hand: K-J. Affleck plays mainly side games, preferring $25-$50 blind no-limit. Tonight's championship final table provided plenty of drama, with the lead changing hands many times. After starting with 90 players on day one and 38 on day two, the championship event got down to the final table of nine with Stan Goldstein holding the chip lead with $235,500 and Ty Nguyen close behind with $218,800. Play continued with blinds of $1,000-$2,000, antes of $300 and 42:21 left. On the first hand, shortest-stack Raymond Davis went all in with A-K to Goldstein's pocket 8s. A river 10c gave Davis a miracle straight, the same lucky river card that paired and saved him from finishing 10th the night before. Amir Vahedi dropped more than 50k two hands later when his A-K lost to Pacheco's J-J. Down to 20k, he busted out on the next hand. He re-raised all in with As-10s and Ty Nguyen, with K-K, flopped quads. When blinds went to $1,500-$3,000 with $500 antes, Nguyen, a young pro, had taken the lead with about 255k. On hand 23, John Esposito, a pro sports bettor who has a 1999 World Series bracelet for $2,500 limit hold'em, moved in when a flop of 8-5-2 gave him a set of 5s. Pogos Simityan called for 25k with 9-9 and finished eighth. Davis moved in for the fifth and last time, this time with the lucky 10c (Kc-10c) in his hand. He wasn't so lucky when he ran into Affleck's pocket aces and finished seventh. On hand 67, a major pot gave Affleck the lead for the first of several times. A flop of Q-7-6 gave him a set of 7s. He bet 20k, Nguyen, with A-Q, hit it for 30k more. Affleck moved in for 64.5k and suddenly had about 230k after Nguyen called and lost. Affleck was wearing a cap and shirt with "big slick" logos. When asked, he said someone gave it to him. "Rich movie stars get everything free," Pacheco cracked. When blinds went to $2,000-$4,000, the approximate chip count was: Affleck, 245k; Jimmy Tran, 215k; Pacheco, 150k; Esposito, 135k; Goldstein, 80k; Nguyen, 70k. Nguyen, dropping steadily from his one-time chip lead, was down to about 42k when he called Esposito's re-raise and went all in. He had K-J to Esposito's A-Q and busted out. Goldstein, with pocket treys, said he knew Esposito had a good read on Nguyen and would have come over the top to get heads-up, but didn't have enough chips to do so. By the 7 p.m. dinner break, Tran had taken the lead from Affleck, but all five players had plenty of chips. Then Esposito made a small trap raise of 15k. with pocket aces. Pacheco re-raised with pocket 10s and Esposito gladly called all in with A-A. But a 10 flopped, Esposito finished fifth and now Pacheco had the lead with about 330k. Suddenly action heated up as players began catching cards. On hand 130, with $1,000 antes and $3,000-$6,000 blinds, Goldstein raised to 34k with K-Q and Tran moved in with Q-Q for about 80k. Goldstein got lucky when a king flopped, and the field was down to three. Pacheco had 355k to 325 for Goldstein and 220k for Affleck. The affable actor/writer/producer/director then put a big hit on Pacheco when his J-J held up against A-K. He led again with about 325k, then won the next pot and had close to 400k. Then Goldstein re-took the lead with two pair against Pacheco. Finally, Pacheco moved in with Ac-Qc. "Gotta call you," said Affleck. His 5-5 held up, Pacheco was out and Affleck once again led, this time with 512k to 388k for Goldstein. "I like it that you're showing respect," Affleck jested as heads-up play continued. "I was afraid you thought you could just take it from me." "You've got respect," Goldstein assured him. Respect turned to submission on the last hand when Affleck bet 30k with Ad-10d into a flop of 10-6-3, Goldstein raised 30k and Affleck moved him in holding pocket jacks. An 8 and 4 came, and the young matinee idol was the 2004 Cal State champion. �Max Shapiro |

Moreover the embargo wastes valuable law-enforcement personnel while making criminals out of elderly Midwesterners and scofflaws of exiles. "Our nation's top experts in antiterrorism are also in charge of tracking down travelers to Cuba," Flake said. "They are tracking down grandmothers from Iowa who are going on biking trips in Cuba." In contrast, he pointed out, the travel ban is not enforced against Cuban Americans who routinely make multiple trips to the island each year. "I'm glad it doesn't apply [to Cuban Americans] because we should encourage, not penalize, family visits and family charity. But I don't want the travel ban to apply to the rest of America either." He also reminded the audience that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops stands in formal opposition to the embargo. He even paraphrased Pope John Paul II: "Open the doors to Cuba." Flake received a standing ovation.
Afterward in the lobby, as he waited for a cab to the airport, the congressman explained why a Republican from the Southwest would care so much about the embargo. "It just bothers me," he shrugged. "I'm just a fan of personal freedom." He also doesn't like its effect on his constituents. "They have to go through a cumbersome licensing process," he said. "Or cheat and go through Mexico or another country." Moreover it makes the GOP look bad. "We have an inconsistent foreign policy," he added, citing the extensive trade relations between the United States and China. "It hurts our party. And it hurts Cubans."
Delahunt was less diplomatic away from the podium. In fact he was incensed, particularly about an article he read in the Financial Times two days before the conference. In it Ileana Ros-Lehtinen accused Delahunt and the Cuba Working Group of creating "another forum to promote ideas on how not to help the Cuban people and keep Fidel Castro in power.... They want to use the suffering of the Cuban people to maintain Castro in power and to lift the economic sanctions against the tyrant."
Delahunt could not abide this. "Balderdash!" he fumed. "It's inaccurate and reflective of the stridency and lack of respect that exist in some quarters of the Cuban-exile community. It shows a lack of understanding of civil discourse." He suggested that Ros-Lehtinen could have exercised some leadership by attending the conference and discussing the issues.
Had she done so, she would have heard Delahunt's assessment of her knowledge of the island. "Her statements have an aura of Alice in Wonderland," he observed. "Her understanding of what is happening in Cuba is wrong." She and Diaz-Balart, he chided, are ignorant of the fact that very little support for the embargo exists among ordinary Cubans on the island.
Delahunt referred to a meeting he had with Cuban dissidents in April 2001, during a trip to Havana with two Republican members of Congress. Among the Cubans was writer and political activist Marta Beatriz Roque, jailed in 1999 for her role in authoring the daring manifesto The Homeland Belongs to Us All. "She said, �Please tell Ileana and Lincoln that while we appreciate their support, they don't know what they're talking about.'" He offered some advice: "It's time for Ileana and Lincoln to go to Cuba!"
"Now I have to go get educated," Delahunt concluded as he hustled to another room to listen to Phil Peters, a State Department appointee under two Republican administrations (Reagan and George H.W. Bush) and now vice president of the Lexington Institute, another conservative think tank. Peters was at the conference to speak about the possibilities for U.S.-Cuba cooperation in the wars on drugs and terrorism.
The U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, imposed in 1961 during the Kennedy administration, has always been a bipartisan affair, but in recent years pro-embargo Cuban Americans have come to associate it with the GOP. One reason is that in 1995 House Speaker Newt Gingrich led the Republicans in forging the Helms-Burton Law, which tightened the sanctions and effectively transferred control over Cuba policy from the White House to Congress. President Clinton signed the legislation, but any capital it earned him among exiles vanished four years later along with Elian Gonzalez after federal agents returned the boy to his father. When Republican George W. Bush became president, the embargo seemed as secure as ever. During his campaign he even talked about strengthening it.
But that was not the message delivered by Alberto Coll, who served as principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict under President George H.W. Bush. Coll currently is dean of the Center for Naval Warfare Studies at the U.S. Naval War College. He is also a Cuban American. "We need to abandon the strategy of war and adopt a purely political strategy toward Cuba," he proclaimed during a late-afternoon speech in the Biltmore's stately Alhambra Room. Trade sanctions only fueled "the deadly flight of Cubans via the Straits of Florida," he lamented. "For the sake of harassing Castro -- because that's all we're doing -- [embargo proponents] are willing to sharpen the hardship and suffering of the Cuban people."

British Basketball's campaign to have its Olympic funding restored resulted in success today as UK Sport agreed to a reprieve.
The sport will now be able to run an elite programme targeted at the Rio 2016 Olympics. The exact funding has yet to be determined but it will run to several millions of pounds.
Basketball received £8.6million in the four years before London 2012 but in December it was announced by UK Sport that all funding would cease.
Wheelchair fencing has also been successful in an appeal - both sports' awards will be on a one-year conditional basis with the next three years' funding released only if they meet strict performance criteria.
Table tennis, indoor volleyball, sitting volleyball and wrestling will still receive zero funding despite pleas for a re-think.
British Basketball mobilised its most famous player, Chicago Bulls' Luol Deng, to write to Prime Minister David Cameron pleading for funding to be restored.
The sport's performance chairman Roger Moreland said: "We are absolutely delighted with the decision of UK Sport today.
"They have acknowledged that we successfully presented compelling new performance data, which not only impressed the Board but made them recognise that we are potential podium contenders for 2020.
"They could see from our evidence and that supplied by Patrick Baumann from our international federation (FIBA) that our sport has an upward trajectory in terms of both performance and participation.
"This is a momentous day for British basketball and everyone who is connected with the sports, whether players, fans or officials."
Baumann, secretary general of FIBA, said: "I am thrilled for British basketball and UK Sport's recognition and appreciation of the very strong case we presented. The new funding will allow the sport to build on the progress and growth it has already made in a very short time and aim for a podium place in 2020."
UK Sport will also look again at the award it has made to women's beach volleyball, to provide more support for the one pair that already receive some funding.
Weightlifting and powerlifting had also appealed for a funding increase but that was rejected.
Baroness Sue Campbell, chair of the UK Sport Board, said: "I appreciate this has been, and continues to be, a very difficult time for those sports and athletes with no funding.
"We want to make it clear that we do not consider any of the non-funded sports to have failed. In fact most have made significant progress within this unique period whereby they were funded exceptionally given it was a home Games.
"Our decisions have been made on the detailed assessment of a sport's future potential for medal success in Rio 2016 or 2020.
"These are tough decisions that the board have to make to ensure our resources are focused on supporting every credible medal opportunity for the 2016 or 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games."
For those involved in indoor and sitting volleyball, UK Sport's decision to confirm zero funding was met with anger and frustration.
Lucy Wicks, the setter for the British Olympic team currently playing professionally in Germany, wrote on Twitter: "wow they hate volleyball. Can't say I'm shocked. No support from you [UK Sport] for years."
She added: "I'm seriously considering staying in Germany forever, it's a much better place for team sports".
Britain's women's captain Lynn Beattie, who led her side to a first-ever win over Algeria at the London Games, said: "I've just found out and I'm absolutely devastated."
Ashley Trodden, Great Britain sitting volleyball assistant coach, said on Twitter: "So we are the only Paralympic sport not to get funding, thats a big kick in the teeth."
Kenny Barton, British Volleyball's performance director, said the body would now be forced to withdraw teams from the world championships.
He said: "I predicted this would happen and we will now be seeking legal advice.
"We will now have to withdraw from the world championship and probably get fined for that as well.
"As things stand I'm the last man in the office and will probably have to turn the lights out.
"They cut the head off the chicken with this and I am disappointed for British sport, not just volleyball.
"Under no circumstances did we fail. I think we were used to sell tickets as part of Team GB, making sure they got the crowds in.
"Our players can play overseas but with no national programme. It's ridiculous and I call on everyone who enjoyed volleyball to speak up."

Tagged: Chris Brown
Chris Brown, The Media and Public Opinion
I never thought that I would say this, but music superstars seem to have it kinda hard these days. What with the ability of fans to be able to connect with them so intimately now through technology and social media and already constantly being under the guise of the 24-hour TMZ news cycle, everything that they do seems to be scrutinized and and dissected to the Nth degree. Take Chris Brown: besides Kanye West, C.B. seems to be Urban entertainment's poster boy for not be able to get a moment's rest these days, ever since his domestic abuse debacle with one Rihanna, which now seems like it was a decade ago.
Don't get me wrong, I can't defend Breezy's actions and I won't attempt to. Being the youngest of three children with two older sisters and two nieces, I could NEVER condone putting my hands on a woman in a way that's malicious or meant to do her harm. I don't roll like that. But even with all of the messed up and at times just plain dumb things that Brown has done in the last few years, from Rihanna to trashing dressing rooms to the Frank Ocean spat to the war of words and fists (well, maybe not fists) with Drake in the club, he's dug quite a hole for himself, and even reveled in the image of being the bad boy.
But the public eye can also be the eye of the storm for many a celebrity to deal with, and the latest incident involving Chris Brown has seemed to not only be blown out of proportion by music and entertainment media outlets, but also one where all of the facts haven't come out. Then again, the facts aren't always what matters when it comes to today's media, especially when there's a potential juicy story involving a major international music star. There are questions all around: who threw the first punch outside the hotel? Was it Brown or his bodyguard? Did he utter another slur against gay people? Has he or will he spend time in jail…again? Is he really going to rehab for anger management?
The whole point is this: it's not really a matter of answering the questions truthfully. Instead, it's a matter of presenting a certain version of what is deemed to be the truth to sway public opinion in a certain way. Like it or not, that's the game. Personally, I think Brown does need to watch his actions, who he has around him and what those folks intentions are. But maybe the general population and the media itself need to start taking a closer look at the way stories and news items are presented, and if they are done in a way that actually IS fair and balanced, or if it's all just about ratings, sweeps weeks and what the best story is, even if it's not one that's accurate.
Check out a story on the SPIN.com website that gives the latest on Chris Brown's most recent ups and downs.
It's kinda hard to believe that Barbadian songstress and pop princess Rihanna is seven albums into her career as a recording artist. Since 2005, she's grown from just another bubble gum singer having a style laced with Island flavor to an international pop music icon, tabloid/TMZ favorite, unrivaled fashionista and all-around party girl. With the release of her latest album, Unapologetic, Rih Rih does her best to silence critics from all corners.
Rihanna's strength has never really been with her voice, but her success has come in the last few years from having songwriters and producers around her that know how produce hits, and crafting music that's radio friendly, memorably hooky, sexually suggestive and reflective of the fast lane pop star lifestyle myth all at the same time. Think in the vein of "Rude Boy" and "S&M". The formula has worked like gangbusters for her since A Good Girl Gone Bad, and it continues here. With "Jump", she give her own dirty-pop update of Ginuwine's "Pony", while "Right Now" continues the trend of fast-paced, EDM-inspired major label pop R&B helmed by David Guetta; it's sure to get night clubs from the Jersey Shore to Ibiza pumping all night long.
Surprisingly, Rihanna also shoots for success in the area of the big Rock/Pop/R&B/Contempo ballad "What Now", but misses the mark slightly in the area of real, raw emotion. Another track that Unapologetic could have done without are "Numb" featuring a disinterested Eminem that sounds like he may have done the record as a favor. And "Loveeeee Song" with Future lays it on very thick, with the rapper singing disingenuous, auto-tuned coos to Rih Rih that seem to fall on deaf ears.
But there's much more good than bad on the singers seventh album, with piano-driven "Stay" featuring Mikky Ekko giving off an almost operatic duet vibe, party pop winners like "Power It Up" and "Fresh Off The Runway", and the song that everyone has been waiting a few years to hear, "Nobody's Business" with former lover Chris Brown, which pays successfully trendy homage to Michael Jackson, an artist that has obviously influenced both Rihanna and Breezy.
Rih Rih remains successful by not only continuing to make chart-topping pop hits, but also by taking chances. True, she's been criticized for being more style than substance, more fluff than talent. But there's no denying that Ms. Rihanna is now a wily music veteran that knows how to make a danceable and relevant pop record. Unapologetic is just that.
