Oh this can't be good
May 19, 2009
This is what always happens when I'm gone for a few days, interesting developments occur. Alright, maybe this isn't an interesting development, but it is juicy - or at least mildly drippy.
So remember that whole LeAnn Rimes/Eddie Cibrian affair (that didn't happen (him), that was a difficult time for her family (her), and was a confusing time for everyone (friends))? Well apparently it didn't play out in the media quite enough and the pair are back for round 2.
Yesterday news broke that TMZ had the above photo of the pair at a weekend Lakers game. Probably not a good move if you're still trying to deny any wrongdoing - that or they're trying to show the world that they're just good b-ball buddies.
Another bad sign in the whole mess is that LeAnn has put her medieval-themed Tennessee mansion up on the sales block. In case you're in the market, she's asking $7.54 million for the 13,380 square foot, 4 bedroom, 6 full and 3 half bathroom home. Check out all the stats here. LeAnn and Dean had the home built back in 2008 so it's probably barely had time to get any stains on the carpet.
It's starting to look like Dean's maybe lost his sugarmomma. A bit of good news, I hear Britney Spears is always looking for a new husband/backup dancer.

Stop ACTA
Responsible department: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
Petition to demand that United Kingdom MPs and United Kingdom representatives to and in Europe officially oppose the proposed ACTA legislation.
This legislation, drawn up in secret, proposes making Internet Service Providers collect information on their users and police their use of the internet, by making the ISPs legally responsible for the internet use of their customers.
This would have devastating effects on free speech, access to affordable medicine, and exchange of culture.

Avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. Also called osteonecrosis, avascular necrosis can lead to tiny breaks in the bone and the bone's eventual collapse.
The blood flow to a section of bone can be interrupted if the bone is fractured or the joint becomes dislocated. Avascular necrosis of bone is also associated with long-term use of high-dose steroid medications and excessive alcohol intake.
The hip is the joint most commonly affected by avascular necrosis. While avascular necrosis of bone can happen to anyone, it usually occurs in men between the ages of 30 and 60.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Christmas music comprises a variety of genres of music normally performed or heard around the Christmas season, which tends to begin in the months leading up the actual holiday and end in the weeks shortly thereafter.
Contents |
Music was an early feature of the Christmas season and its celebrations. The earliest chants, litanies, and hymns were Latin works intended for use during the church liturgy, rather than popular songs. The 13th century saw the rise of the carol written in the vernacular, under the influence of Francis of Assisi.
In the Middle Ages, the English combined circle dances with singing and called them carols. Later, the word carol came to mean a song in which a religious topic is treated in a style that is familiar or festive. From Italy, it passed to France and Germany, and later to England. Christmas carols in English first appear in a 1426 work of John Audelay, a Shropshire priest and poet, who lists 25 "caroles of Cristemas", probably sung by groups of wassailers, who went from house to house.[1] Music in itself soon became one of the greatest tributes to Christmas, and Christmas music includes some of the noblest compositions of the great musicians.
During the Commonwealth of England government under Cromwell, the Rump Parliament prohibited the practice of singing Christmas carols as Pagan and sinful. Like other customs associated with popular Catholic Christianity, it earned the disapproval of Protestant Puritans. Famously, Cromwell's interregnum prohibited all celebrations of the Christmas holiday. This attempt to ban the public celebration of Christmas can also be seen in the early history of Father Christmas.
The Westminster Assembly of Divines established Sunday as the only holy day in the calendar in 1644. The new liturgy produced for the English church recognised this in 1645, and so legally abolished Christmas. Its celebration was declared an offence by Parliament in 1647.[2] There is some debate as to the effectiveness of this ban, and whether or not it was enforced in the country.[2]
Puritans generally disapproved of the celebration of Christmas—a trend which continually resurfaced in Europe and the USA through the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries.[3]
When in May 1660 Charles II restored the Stuarts to the throne, the people of England once again practised the public singing of Christmas carols as part of the revival of Christmas customs, sanctioned by the king's own celebrations.[2] William B. Sandys's Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern (1833), contained the first appearance in print of many now-classic English carols, and contributed to the mid-Victorian revival of the holiday.[4] Singing carols in church was instituted on Christmas Eve 1880 (Nine Lessons and Carols) in Truro Cathedral, Cornwall, England, which is now seen in churches all over the world.[5]
The tradition of singing Christmas carols in return for alms or charity began in England in the seventeenth century after the Restoration. Town musicians or 'waits' were licensed to collect money in the streets in the weeks preceding Christmas, the custom spread throughout the population by the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries up to the present day. Also from the seventeenth century, there was the English custom, predominantly involving women, of taking a 'wassail bowl' round their neighbours to solicit gifts, accompanied by carols. Despite this long history, almost all surviving Christmas carols date only from the nineteenth century onwards, with the exception of some traditional folk songs such as "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen", "As I Sat on a Sunny Bank" and "The Holly and the Ivy."[6]
The status of Christmas as an important feast within the church year also means there is a long tradition of music specially composed for celebrating the season. The following is a brief and non-exhaustive list of notable compositions:
In the United States and elsewhere[7] the playing of Christmas music would generally begin after the Thanksgiving holidays, at which point Christmas decorations in stores and on streets would also appear, but in recent decades the music and related decor have been appearing increasingly early. This tendency for the length of the Christmas and holiday season to grow is referred to as 'Christmas creep'. Given the importance of the seasonal gift-giving to the U.S. economy,[8] one driven largely by consumer spending,[9] and with the music industry making at least 40 percent of its annual revenue in the fourth quarter culminating at Christmas,[10] demands for increased revenues motivates the shift. Christmas music best serenades these shopping months, injecting the Christmas spirit and putting shoppers into the proper mood for buying gifts.
Radio stations—responsible for so much of Christmas music broadcasting, popularization, and appreciation—are "going Christmas earlier and earlier", even the day after Halloween, because executives "think that listeners will stick with the first station to change to a seasonal theme." About 400 radio stations "across the United States play Christmas music around the clock." In Chicago, WLIT-FM saw its share of all radio listeners grow from a 2.9/3.6 share earlier in the year to 9.3 during the Nov. 28 to Dec. 11, 2003 Arbitron rating period. A 2002 Arbitron ratings study confirmed holiday-music surges at stations around the country.[11]
Songs which are traditional, even some without a specific religious context, are often called Christmas carols. Each of these has a rich history, some dating back many centuries.
A popular set of traditional carols that might be heard at any Christmas-related event include:[12]

Less-often heard Christmas carols include:
These songs hearken from centuries ago, the oldest ('Wexford Carol') originating in the 12th century. The newest came together in the mid- to late-19th century. Many began in non-English speaking countries, often with non-Christmas themes, and were later converted into English carols with English lyrics added—not always translated from the original, but newly created—sometimes as late as the early 20th century.
In addition to these traditional carols, there are some popular secular Christmas songs from mid-19th century America that pre-date the secular Christmas songs of the 20th century. These songs include "Jingle Bells", "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" and "Up on the House Top".
Alongside the popular secular Christmas songs there have also been some recent copyrighted carols about the Nativity, some of which are played together with the popular Christmas songs. This set of songs includes such often played titles as Mary's Boy Child, Carol of the Drum (Little Drummer Boy), Do You Hear What I Hear?, Mary, Did You Know?, as well as other popular carols sung in British schools including Little Donkey by Eric Boswell, Calypso Carol by Michael Perry and It was on a starry night by Joy Webb of The Joystrings.
More recently popular Christmas songs, often introduced through film or other entertainment media, tend to be specifically about Christmas or have a wintertime theme. They are typically not overtly religious. The most popular set of these titles—heard over airwaves, on the internet, in shopping centres and lifts, even on the street during the Christmas season—have been composed and performed from the 1930s onward. "Jingle Bells", "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" and "Up on the House Top", however, date from the mid-19th century.
The largest portion of these songs in some way describes or is reminiscent of Christmas traditions, how western countries tend to celebrate the holiday, i.e., with caroling, mistletoe, exchanging of presents, a Christmas tree, feasting, jingle bells, etc. Celebratory or sentimental and nostalgic in tone, they hearken back to simpler times with memorable holiday practices—expressing the desire either to be with someone or at home for Christmas. Many titles help define the mythical aspects of modern Christmas celebration: Santa Claus bringing presents, coming down the chimney, being pulled by reindeer, etc. New mythical characters are created, defined, and popularized by these songs; Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman were both introduced by Gene Autry a year apart (1949 and 1950 respectively).[n 1] Though overtly religious, and authored (at least partly) by a writer of many church hymns, no drumming child appears in any biblical account of the Christian nativity scene—this character was introduced to the tradition by Katherine K. Davis in her "The Little Drummer Boy" (written in 1941, with a popular version being released in 1958).
The winter-related songs celebrate the climactic season, with all its snow, dressing up for the cold, sleighing, etc.
According to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 2006, the following are the Top 25 most-performed "holiday" songs written by ASCAP members, for the first five years of the 21st century:[13] (tracking plays in the U.S. only, and in order of number of plays)[14]
Of these, the oldest songs are "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "Winter Wonderland", both published in 1934—though some element of the song came along earlier for two titles (the source or music). Almost a dozen were released in the 1940s, the next largest group coming in the 1950s. Only two became popular in the 1960s; one each in the 1970s and 1980s. "Do They Know It's Christmas? (Feed the World)" by Midge Ure and Bob Geldof is the only relatively new one on the list: "Recorded in 1984 by Band Aid — an all-star band of British musicians — this benefit single assisted famine relief efforts in Ethiopia, and sold millions of copies over the '84 holiday season."[13]
Songs introduced through motion pictures include "White Christmas" from Holiday Inn (1942), "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), and "Silver Bells" in The Lemon Drop Kid (1950).
Johnny Marks has three top Christmas songs, the most for any writer—"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", and "A Holly Jolly Christmas". By far the most recorded Christmas song is "White Christmas" with well over 500 versions in dozens of languages.
Approximately half of the 25 best-selling Christmas songs were written by Jewish composers, including "White Christmas", "Let It Snow", "Winter Wonderland," "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," "Sleigh Ride," "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and "Silver Bells".[15][16][17][18]
While the ASCAP list is relatively popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland, it remains largely overshadowed by a collection of chart hits recorded in a bid to be crowned the UK Christmas number one single during the 1970s and 1980s. According to a 2007 poll, the UK's most popular Christmas song is "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade,[19] a band that was popular in the 1970s.
The top ten most played Christmas songs in the United Kingdom based on a 2010 survey conducted by PRS for Music, who collect and pay royalties to its 75,000 song-writing and composing members, are as follows:[20]
Rank | Song title | Composer(s) | Performer(s) | Year |
1 | "All I Want for Christmas Is You" | Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff | Mariah Carey | 1994 |
2 | "Last Christmas" | George Michael | Wham! | 1984 |
3 | "Fairytale of New York" | Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan | The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl | 1987 |
4 | "Do They Know It's Christmas?" | Bob Geldof and Midge Ure | Band Aid | 1984 |
5 | "Merry Xmas Everybody" | Noddy Holder and Jim Lea | Slade | 1973 |
6 | "White Christmas" | Irving Berlin | Louis Armstrong | 1940 |
7 | "Driving Home for Christmas" | Chris Rea | Chris Rea | 1988 |
8 | "Merry Christmas Everyone" | Bob Heatlie | Shakin' Stevens | 1985 |
9 | "Mistletoe and Wine" | Jeremy Paul, Leslie Stewart and Keith Strachan | Cliff Richard | 1976 |
10 | "Walking in the Air" | Howard Blake | Peter Auty | 1982 |
Included in previous lists—like those for 2009 and 2008—are such titles as "Stop the Cavalry" – Jona Lewie, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" – Bruce Springsteen, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" – Wizzard, "Step into Christmas" – Elton John, "Lonely This Christmas" – Mud, and "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby.
"The Christmas song is a genre in its own right . . More than any other type of music, it spans and links generations with disparate musical taste buds."[21]
In Britain and Ireland, the terms "Christmas number one single" and "Christmas number two single" denote songs released around the time of the Christmas holiday and that reach the top of the UK Singles Chart and/or Irish Singles Chart respectively. Because of the two countries' proximity to each other, the Irish #1 is usually the same as the British #1 or #2. Though some of these songs do tend to develop an association with Christmas or the holiday season, such an association tends to be much shorter lived than the more traditionally themed Christmas songs such as "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday", "Mistletoe and Wine" and "Merry Christmas Everyone", and the songs may have nothing to do with Christmas or even winter. Past Christmas number-ones include children's songs such as "Mr Blobby" (#1, 1993) and the theme from Bob the Builder (#1, 2000), novelty songs such as Benny Hill's "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)" (#1, 1971) and South Park's "Chocolate Salty Balls" (#2, 1998), and several examples of standard pop fare that would likely be just as popular outside the holiday season. Some songs will be "tweaked" to make them more related to Christmas. This is almost exclusively a British cultural phenomenon; some notable and longer-lasting examples include Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (#1, 1985, 1989 and 2004), Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" (#1, 1972) and Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (#2, 1984). Although Scotland maintains a separate chart, its results almost always parallel the main UK chart in this regard.
Reality television has had an impact on both the British and the Irish charts since 2002. In that year, the series Popstars The Rivals produced the top three singles on the Christmas charts: two produced by the two "rival" groups created as the result of the series (the girl group Girls Aloud and the boy band One True Voice) finished first and second respectively, while failed contestants The Cheeky Girls charted with a novelty hit at third, on the British charts. Will Young, winner of the first Pop Idol, charted at the top of the Irish charts in 2003, but not in his native Britain. Since the second series of the TV series The X Factor, which ends in December, the debut song from that series' winner generally is released at a time conducive to it becoming the Christmas number one in both countries, and most of the songs are unrelated to Christmas. X Factor winners have earned the Christmas number one in at least one of the two countries every year since 2005, and in both countries in a majority of those years (four times out of the last seven). As a result of the show's stranglehold on the top of the charts, each year since 2008 has seen protest campaigns to outsell the X Factor single and prevent it from reaching number one. Only one has actually been successful: in 2009, "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine reached number one in the UK instead of that year's X Factor winner, Joe McElderry; McElderry did reach number one in Ireland. 2010 saw several campaigns to unseat the X Factor winner, but fracturing between the warring campaigns in Britain and a delay in the delivery of The Rubberbandits' "Horse Outside" to stores in Ireland led to X Factor winner Matt Cardle earning the number one in both countries. In 2011, "Wherever You Are", the single from a choir of military wives assembled by the TV series The Choir (which was not released specifically as a campaign against the X Factor single), earned the Christmas number-one single in Britain, pulling off an upset over X Factor winners Little Mix, whose single was mistakenly released one week earlier than usual and peaked in sales too soon, and a host of anti-X Factor campaigns; because the Military Wives Choir single was not released in Ireland, Little Mix succeeded in winning the Christmas number-one in Ireland that year due to a lack of competition.[22]
Currently popular Christmas songs in the U.K. arise from diverse artist inspirations, aims, social concerns, and takes on the holiday itself. Many share roots in major U.S. popular Christmas tunes, either in actual musical terms or in originating artist favorites. Illustrative examples of this include . .
Situated in the southern hemisphere, where seasons are reversed from the northern, the heat of early summer in Australia affects the way Christmas is celebrated and how northern hemisphere Christmas traditions are followed. Australians generally spend Christmas out of doors, going to the beach for the day, or heading to camp grounds for a vacation. International visitors to Sydney at Christmastime often go to Bondi Beach where tens of thousands gather on Christmas Day.
The tradition of an Australian Christmas Eve carol service lit by candles, started in 1937 by radio announcer Norman Banks, has taken place in Melbourne annually since then. Carols by Candlelight events can be "huge gatherings . . televised live throughout the country" or smaller "local community and church events." Carols in the Domain in Sydney is now a "popular platform for the stars of stage and music."
Some "uniquely Australian Christmas carols" have become popular. "Light-hearted Australian Christmas songs" have become "an essential part of the Australian Christmas experience." Rolf Harris' "Six White Boomers", Colin Buchanan's "Aussie Jingle Bells", and the "Australian Twelve Days of Christmas",[26] examples of these, proudly proclaim the differing traditions Down Under. A verse from "Aussie Jingle Bells" makes the point:
In a 2007 survey of United States radio listeners, the most liked songs were standards such as Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" (1942), Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)" (1946), and Burl Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas" (1965). Other favorites like "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (Brenda Lee, 1958), "Jingle Bell Rock" (Bobby Helms, 1957) and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" (1971), scored well in one study. Also "loved" were Johnny Mathis' "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and Harry Simeone Chorale's "Little Drummer Boy".[28] The newest song in one survey's top 10 was Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (1994); for another it was Lennon and Ono's.
The Pinnacle Media Worldwide survey divided its listeners into music-type categories:
Among the most-hated Christmas songs, according to Edison Media Research's 2007 survey, are Barbra Streisand's "Jingle Bells?", the Jackson 5's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", Elmo & Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", and "O Holy Night" as performed by cartoon characters from Comedy Central's "South Park". The "most-hated Christmastime recording" is a rendition of "Jingle Bells" by Don Charles's Singing Dogs, a revolutionary novelty song originally released in 1955, and re-released as an edited version in 1970.[29]
Other popular Christmas songs often heard include "Happy Holidays" (1942), "Baby It's Cold Outside" (1944), and "My Favorite Things" (1959)—all recorded by a number of acts. Newer titles mostly associated with the originating artist include "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon, "Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You" by Billy Squier, "Little Bright Star," "Merry Christmas Darling" by The Carpenters, "Merry Christmas, Baby" and "Little Saint Nick" by the Beach Boys (with the former later covered by Bruce Springsteen), "Thank God It's Christmas" by Queen, "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney, "If Everyday Could Be Like Christmas" by Patti Labelle, and "Pretty Paper" by Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson. Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters had a hit with "Mele Kalikimaka" in 1950, and Crosby introduced "Marshmallow World" in the same year, with other acts performing both songs since. Frank Sinatra put "The Christmas Waltz" on the flip-side of his version of "White Christmas" in 1954, many other acts covering it since. "Please Come Home for Christmas" was written and released by Charles Brown in 1960, but is now mostly associated with The Eagles. The Jackson 5 released "Give Love on Christmas Day" in 1970, with other acts following suit. Also in 1970, Donny Hathaway originated "This Christmas"; in 2007 singer Chris Brown released a popular version for the film of the same name.
More recent covers of songs found on the ASCAP top-25 Christmas songs have gained a popularity all their own. Elvis Presley famously covered a number of Christmas standards on his Christmas album, originally released in 1957. His versions of "Here Comes Santa Claus" and the previously mentioned "Blue Christmas" are particularly popular. Bruce Springsteen and The Jackson Five recorded separate versions of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", as well as other Christmas titles. The unlikely pairing of Bing Crosby with David Bowie on the impromptu "The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth" created one of the most popular Christmas duets ever recorded. [30]
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Darlene Love's version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" (1963) first on its list of The Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs in December 2010.[31] Included on the list were such rock and roll hits as Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" released in 1958.
Much of what is known as Christmas music today was adopted from pieces initially created for other purposes. Retroactively these were applied to Christmas, or came to be associated with the holiday in some way. Many tunes adopted into the Christmas canon fall into the generic "winter" classification, as they carry no Christmas connotation at all. Others were written to celebrate other holidays and gradually came to cover the Christmas season. Favorites such as "Winter Wonderland," "Let it Snow," and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" describe Winter and Seasonal. "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" is a song about New Years and Christmas.
The popular Christmas standard "Jingle Bells" was originally written to celebrate Thanksgiving.[32] Standard "Sleigh Ride" lyrics mention not a Christmas party but a birthday party ("There's a birthday party/At the house of farmer Gray"). "Auld Lang Syne", with words by Scottish poet Robert Burns put to a traditional Scottish melody, is traditionally sung at the conclusion of New Year gatherings in Scotland and around the world, especially in English speaking countries, but is now often considered a Christmas song. Borrowing from the title, Dan Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne" (released 1980) tells a Christmas Eve story and is now frequently played during the holiday season, integrated with traditional Christmas songs.
Perhaps the most famous Christmas music of all, Handel's "Messiah", was first performed "not during Advent or Christmas, but in Eastertide."[33] Handel's masterpiece premiered in Dublin on April 13, 1742, 19 days after Easter, with proceeds intended for a number of charities. According to the words, only the beginning deals with the birth of Jesus, while "the second and third parts focus on his death, resurrection, the sending of the Spirit at Pentecost, and the final resurrection of all believers."[34] It was performed from 1750 until Handel's death for the Foundling Hospital for orphans around Eastertime.
Another form of popular Christmas song are those musical parodies performed solely for comical effect, usually classified as "novelty songs". These range from those sung by children, or largely for their enjoyment, to those with a distinctly adult theme.
The number of Christmas novelty songs is so immense that radio host Dr. Demento devotes an entire month of weekly two-hour episodes to the format each year, and the novelty songs receive frequent requests at radio stations across the country. The Dan Band released several adult-oriented Christmas songs on their 2007 album "Ho: A Dan Band Christmas" which included "Ho, Ho, Ho" (ho being slang for a prostitute), "I Wanna Rock You Hard This Christmas", "Please Don't Bomb Nobody This Holiday" and "Get Drunk & Make Out This Christmas". Christmas novelty songs can involve gallows humor and even morbid humor like that found in "Christmas at Ground Zero" and "The Night Santa Went Crazy", both by "Weird Al" Yankovic.[39]
Radio broadcasting of Christmas music has been around for several decades in the US and elsewhere.[40] Traditionally, U.S. radio stations (particularly those with such formats as adult contemporary, adult standards, easy listening, or beautiful music) began adding some Christmas-themed selections to their regular playlists shortly after Thanksgiving each year. Some exclusively aired 36–48 hours of continuous Christmas music between December 24–25. Since the mid-1990s, it has become increasingly common for stations to switch their programming to continuous Christmas music around Thanksgiving. This practice became more profound after 9/11, when many radio stations across the United States sought a sort of musical "comfort food".[41]
When a radio station in the U.S. makes the temporary switch to all-Christmas music its listener share regularly doubles. A sampling of radio stations that made the switch in 2010 with the change in market share:[42]
"There's no other programming tactic in radio history that consistently delivers ratings increases better than Christmas music . . playing Christmas music is all about having a larger audience after Christmas than you did before. People who find the station often stick around after the holidays and discover a new favorite station."[42]
Station | Market | Share | Christmas |
WODS | Boston | 4.5 | 9.3 |
KOST | Los Angeles | 4.6 | 9.2 |
WLTW | New York | 6.0 | 12.3 |
KYXY | San Diego | 4.1 | 9.7 |
Adult contemporary, oldies, and country listeners tend to adjust better to an all-Christmas switch than do listeners of other formats such as hip-hop or hard rock. However: "Nine times out of 10, many new listeners pour in, outweighing the listeners that do opt out," says Greg Strassell, senior vice president of programming at CBS Radio.[42] However, this may not always transition well into financial success, since advertisers do not universally recognize Arbitron's holiday ratings book.[43]
The 24/7 all-Christmas format has been generally successful due in large part to Christmas creep. Many radio stations began airing an all-Christmas format by Thanksgiving, starting as early as the Friday one week prior. Several stations have started the format as early as November 1 (a few, such as KOSY and WNIC, have earned a reputation for this) or even in late October, although this is generally the exception rather than the norm. Stations that change formats before Thanksgiving sometimes experience backlash from listeners, because this is well outside the traditional Christmas and holiday season.
To accommodate the adult contemporary stations' flip to Christmas music, the syndicated John Tesh and Delilah nighttime shows also play this format around the same time as their respective affiliates. Some radio stations, even those that do not play full-time Christmas music prior to Christmas Eve, play Christmas music commercial-free the entire day on Christmas Day and often a portion of Christmas Eve as well (e.g. KOIT), with only interruptions for Christmas messages from station personnel and personnel from the station's parent company. (This is also the case on home shopping TV networks.)
Some in the industry speculate that more stations may start programming 24/7 Christmas music as early as November 1 each year, which could result in dozens of stations (instead of the half-dozen or so stations in prior years) "taking the plunge" on that first day after Halloween (although November 1 is the Day of the Dead, the reason for Halloween's existence). As of the last week of October 2010, four stations had changed to the format. Two of them (WSMM in South Bend, Indiana and an admittedly stunting WSHP in Lafayette, Indiana) did so on their analog channel; the other two were automated digital-only channels, WBEB HD2 and WPEN HD2, both in Philadelphia. The number of "all-Christmas" radio stations indeed jumped on November 1; for instance, four stations in upstate New York adopted the format that morning. HD Radio also allows for the expansion of Christmas music beyond Christmas Day and into early January, much as WLIT does after Christmas.
Every year 100000watts.com compiles a list of all stations that play the format. In 2011, the first station in North America to adopt a 24/7 all-Christmas format was WEZW in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, which serves the southeastern corner of that state, including Cape May and the fringes of Atlantic City. WEZW switched on October 16, some 68 days prior to Christmas.[44] What makes WEZW's case unusual is that in previous years, stations that changed to Christmas music in mid-October were generally stunting (see below) in anticipation of a change to a different format after the Christmas holiday; WEZW did not do so, thus obliterating—by over a week—the previous record for the earliest change by a non-stunting commercial analog station. As of November 21, 2011 (three days before Thanksgiving), there were over 150 commercial U.S. radio stations airing 24/7 Christmas music.[45]
For 2012, KYXE-FM, a new sign-on station in Yakima, Washington, was the first terrestrial station in the United States to begin broadcasting the Christmas format,[46] using the service called North Pole Radio. WEZW, the first station to do so in 2011, was also the first station to change to the Christmas format in 2012 (the distinction is that KYXE had signed on for the first time with the Christmas format). The first HD subchannel to carry Christmas music was the specially created HD3 channel of WODS, which signed on October 24. On Halloween, WLTQ, which flipped to Christmas early in 2011 ahead of rebranding their on-air identity, started airing all Christmas music.
Although the Christmas season by definition runs until January 6 (Epiphany), and is observed until at least New Year's Eve by the public, almost all broadcasters skip the last Twelve Days of Christmas, abruptly ending all holiday music at or even before midnight on December 25, and not playing a single Christmas song again until the next November. (Several radio stations actually promote this, with ads that proudly proclaim to listeners weary of the Christmas music that the station's regular format will indeed return on December 26, as soon as Christmas Day is over.) It is not uncommon for broadcasters to market the twelve-day period preceding Christmas (December 14 to 25) as the "Twelve Days of Christmas", contrary to the traditional definition. One reason for this is that much popular Christmas music is so closely associated with Christmas Day itself that it would be difficult or impossible to play after December 25 without bringing up references that the broadcaster may wish to ignore (such as those that involve Santa Claus, who has already come and gone by Christmas morning). On occasion, some Christmas music stations will continue to play at least some Christmas music through the weekend following Christmas, or even through New Year's Day (particularly when stunting in anticipation of a format change; see below), but never any later.
Christmas music is a popular stunt format, used when a station is transitioning to a different format. For instance, a rock music station changing to a rhythmic oldies format will often air Christmas music in-between. This can occur at times when Christmas music seems out of place, such as in summer. The end of the calendar year is a common time of year for format switches. As such, Christmas music may be aired for a prolonged period of time from as early as October and/or extend as late as New Year's Day, while the station prepares the switch. Conversely, when 94.9 in Atlanta changed from adult contemporary to country music in the middle of December 2006, it abruptly stopped playing its annual Christmas music a week before the holiday.
A brief 24/7 Christmas music format is also common during Christmas in July stunts.
Outside of traditional AM/FM radio, satellite radio providers XM and Sirius typically devote multiple channels to different genres of Christmas music during the holiday season. Numerous Internet radio services also offer Christmas music channels, some of them available year-round. Citadel Media produced The Christmas Channel, a syndicated 24-hour radio network, during the holiday season in past years (though in 2010, Citadel has indicated it will instead include Christmas music on its regular Classic Hits network). Music Choice offers nonstop holiday music to its digital cable, cable modem, and mobile phone subscribers between November 1 and Christmas on its "Sounds of the Seasons" and "Soft Rock" channels. DMX provides holiday music as part of its SonicTap music service for digital cable and DirecTV subscribers, as does Dish Network via its in-house Dish CD music channels. Services such as Muzak also distribute Christmas music to retail stores for use as in-store background music during the holidays.
The growing popularity of Internet radio has inspired other media outlets to begin offering Christmas music. In 2009 Phoenix television station KTVK launched four commercial-free online radio stations including Ho Ho Radio, which streams Christmas music throughout the month of December.
In Ireland, a temporary radio station named Christmas FM broadcasts on a temporary license in Dublin and Cork from November 28 to December 26, solely playing Christmas music.
In the U.K., the Festive Fifty list of indie rock songs is broadcast starting on Christmas Day, originally by DJ John Peel, and nowadays by Internet radio station Dandelion Radio.

David Lowther – Recent Work at Hitchin Museum
23 January 2012
From 10 March to 21 April, Hitchin Museum is proud to present an exhibition of recent photographic work by David Lowther.
David's recent work is based around open and closed forms, often doors and windows, and is essentially concerned with creating balance and imbalance through the use of heightened colour in abstracted compositions. Ambiguous shapes intrude, block out, float across, enclose and contrast each other on an animated surface of differing marks and gestures.
Dave trained at Luton, Nottingham and Goldsmiths Colleges of Art and taught in Bedfordshire for 25 years.
There will be a chance to meet David for a question and answer session on 17 March, from 10am – 12 midday.
Hitchin Museum is open from 10am - 5pm daily (except Wed and Sun).

Now that you understand the basics of Ringtones, start personalizing your cell phone with Latest Real Music Ringtone Downloads. Get your answer tones including Verizon, Sprint, Nextel and Cingular answer tone Now!
You can download ringtones in 3 easy steps:
Ringtone is now commonly used by many of the cell phone users. It actually refers to a variety of sound effects and melodies which may be from the popular movie sound track, the chorus of a hip-hop, the typing sound from the keyboard, or even the part of speech from an actor. Nowadays, the ringtone manufacturer designs the cell phone allowing not only direct download of the provided ringtones, but program and create an innovative and unique ringtone.
The main purpose of adding the ringtone is to alert the cell phone owner of an incoming call. Ringtones can be a sound effect, a monophonic melody made of similar tones, polyphonic melodies made of various instruments or even an actual song.
More information can be found on Wikipedia.
Searched ringtone.com and ringtones.com but still cannot find your love song or VZW Tones Deluxe? Try to click here to get it!
Monophonic - In the early days of ringtones, cell phones were only capable of playing monophonic ringtones. Songs played on early phones could only be composed of simple tones being played one at a time.
Polyphonic - Polyphonic ringtones are the direct successor of Monophonic ringtones and the predecessor to Full Music ringtones.
A polyphonic ringtone is similar to a monophonic tone in that it can only play a tone-based copy of a song, however a polyphonic ringtone is capable of playing more complex music because it can emulate instrument sounds and can play more than one tone at once. In a polyphonic-capable phone, up to 40 notes can be played at once, making a much more convincing copy of the real music than a monophonic tone. However, polyphonic ringtones still lack the ability to play a fully convincing facsimile of the original music, still lacking the ability to play lyrics.
Realtones - Real Music ringtones are the newest incarnation of the ringtone, capable of playing actual music, including the vocals and all accompaniment. Full Music ringtones can be found in MP3, WAV, QCP, or AMR formats. While most older cell phones are not able to play full music ringtones, most newly released phones come packaged with this function.
Voice Tones - Voice Tones are used for TV themes and Movie Tones
You can find the tones for Pink Panther, 24 theme song, Price is Right, Simpsons, South Park and Sesame Street.
Ringtones come in multiple file formats such as: MP3, WAV, QCP and AMR.
The age of your phone will determine the type of tone you can support. Older phones will support monophonic and polyphonic Ringtones, while newer phones will support all the different types of tones and usually come pre-loaded with Ring Tones. Even pay as you go phones usually support some type of Ring Tone.
Cell Carriers - Carriers will offer different service plans for their members, our Ringtone membership is for Alltel, Boost, Cellular One, Cingular, Nextel, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, US Cellular, Celcom, AT&T, Cricket and many more.
Cell Models - If you have a phone by Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, LG, Panasonic, Sanyo, Kyocera, Sony Ericsson or Tracfone you should be able to download most of the ringtones offered today. View some of the phone models below.
Vzw Tones Deluxe - You can find True Tones, real-music ringers. Bring out your personality and make that phone your own with VZW Tones Deluxe
MyMEdia Club - MyMEdia Club is a subscription-based preferred monthly pricing plan that can save you money on the ringtones, graphics and games you buy every month on ATT MEdia Mall.

Bretcanu, Oana and Misra, Superb K. and Yunos, D. Mohammad and Boccaccini, Aldo R. and Roy, Ipsita and Kowalczyk, Tomasz and Blonski, Slawomir and Kowalewski, Tomasz A. (2009) Electrospun nanofibrous biodegradable polyester coatings on Bioglass®-based glass-ceramics for tissue engineering. Materials Chemistry and Physics, 118 (2-3). pp. 420-426. ISSN 0254-0584
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/jmatchemphys.2009.08.01
Biodegradable polymeric nanofibrous coatings were obtained by electrospinning different polymers onto sintered 45S5 Bioglass®-based glass-ceramic pellets. The investigated polymers were poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and a composite of poly(caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) (PCL–PEO). The fibrous coatings morphology was evaluated by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electrospinning process parameters were optimised to obtain reproducible coatings formed by a thin web of polymer nanofibres. In-vitro studies in simulated body fluid (SBF) were performed to investigate the bioactivity and mineralisation of the substrates by inducing the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) on the nanofiber-coated pellets. HA crystals were detected on all samples after 7 days of immersion in SBF, however the morphology of the HA layer depended on the characteristic fibre diameter, which in turn was a function of the specific polymer-solvent system used. The bioactive and resorbable nanofibrous coatings can be used to tailor the surface topography of bioactive glass-ceramics for applications in tissue engineering scaffolds.

When medicine, lifestyle changes and other non-surgical methods cannot ease your symptoms, your doctor may recommend surgery for some colorectal conditions. Open surgery is commonly used for patients facing colorectal surgery.
Open surgery, also called laparotomy, is any surgical procedure in which a large cut/incision is made to reach your organs. The incision must be large enough for your surgeon to fit his or her hands and surgical instruments inside your body.
Less invasive surgical options are available to many patients facing colorectal surgery.
All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci Surgery. Results, including cosmetic results, may vary. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious and life-threatening complications, which may require hospitalization, include injury to tissues or organs; bleeding; infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Patients should understand that risks of surgery include potential for human error and potential for equipment failure. Risk specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: a longer operative time; the need to convert the procedure to an open approach; or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure to open could mean a longer operative time, long time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Research suggests that there may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Patients who bleed easily, have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery. Other surgical approaches are available. Patients should review the risks associated with all surgical approaches. They should talk to their doctors about their surgical experience and to decide if da Vinci is right for them. For more complete information on surgical risks, safety and indications for use, please refer to http://www.davincisurgery.com/da-vinci-surgery/safety-information.php.

Drawing with a Trackpad
My MacBook has a large trackpad instead of a mouse. It's about 3 by 4 inches and that's large enough to draw on. So I downloaded a little program called Inklet and sure enough, now I have a little drawing tablet. I also got an inexpensive stylus but if it works better than using a finger, I'm not skillful enough to tell.
Here's my test drawing created using Inklet and Photoshop - pretty clumsy but I'm going to try again. A complication is that you press another finger (or your opposing thumb) on the trackpad at the same time to make it active.

text: In preparation of People's Health Assembly II - part 23 ------------------------------------------------------- Neoliberal ideology in the World Health Organization: Effects on global public health policy and practice (Part 2 of 4) Four flawed assumptions a) 'Economic growth is the aim' Economic growth is not necessary related with improvements in health nor with improvements in human welfare generally. How- ever, the international health community continues to present growth --through Globalization and free market policies-- as the aim with the assumption that benefits, including improved health, will trickle down to the poor (even though such a theory has long been discredited). During the period of Globalization and free market policies pre- dominance, not only have poverty and inequality between and within countries accelerated, but social progress, including in public health, has declined. Neoliberalism fails to distinguish between two periods: 1960-1980 and 1980 -2000. In the latter pe- riod, per capita GNP growth has been considerably worse in all countries and the poorest countries experienced negative growth and considerably slower progress in life expectancy and infant and child mortality. Many authors have stressed that "these re- sults cannot be explained by the AIDS pandemic". This correction is important because the neoliberal establishment has conven- iently identified AIDS as the cause rather than the result of the poverty, hunger, devastation and chaos experienced by sub- Saharan and other countries. Furthermore, economic growth is not synonymous with a sustain- able and equitable use of resources which is a prerequisite for peace, social justice and public health. If the international health community is serious about Health for All -NOW, it cannot continue to ignore alternative economics. It should not be for- gotten that the Alma Ata declaration in effect endorsed "distri- bution economics" through its support for a New International Economic Order. The link between fair and sustainable use of the earth's re- sources and countries' capacities to meet people's basic needs for health is undisputable in ethical and common sense terms -- and as the accumulated evidence shows. Basic health needs, in- cluding a safe environment, can only be met for all the world's people if scarce resources are distributed fairly and produced and consumed carefully. In the social justice and human rights approach to health fea- turing a re-appropriation of WHO by the people, the economic growth paradigm must be replaced by a fair distribution and sus- tainable use of resources paradigm as the underlying economic arrangement for needed changes in health and development. b) 'Health is what you get from health services' For neoliberals, health is achieved and health problems are solved by delivering technical interventions through health ser- vices. In a great number of UN and WHO documents, there appears to be no recognition that the major interventions required for improvements in public health status lie outside the health sec- tor. WHO's own figures, year after year, show that determinants of disease in poor countries today are roughly the same as they were in today's rich countries 100 years ago. 50-70% of lower respiratory infections, diarrhoeal disease, ma- laria and measles (the big killers) in childhood are due to un- der-nutrition. 88% of diarrhoeal disease is due to unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene, and 99% of deaths due to these risk fac- tors are in developing countries. It would appear that classic public health lessons are not re- garded as applicable to poor countries today. The international health community has been recommending technologies to fight disease in developing countries for at least two decades - drugs, bed nets, condoms and the like --in short, cosmetic, un- sustainable, stop gap measures. The neoliberal establishment never acknowledges that poor coun- tries today may wish to rid themselves of the scourge of disease reliably and once and for all (just as the rich countries did) rather than for a couple of months --while supplies of donated drugs or vaccines last. It should not be assumed that this is some kind of unfortunate mistake. Like all the policies proposed for poor countries by the international financial institutions, such prescriptions re- inforce existing power balances and mostly serve those who de- sign them. Another peculiarity of the neoliberal approach to health is the obsession with research to develop new technology and to "im- prove the evidence base". If the aim is to reduce the greatest burden of disease, which everyone agrees is attributable to un- clean water and malnutrition, no new evidence is required. The interest in developing new technologies is twofold: It represents an additional diversionary tactic --this time from the simpler solutions that exist-- and it is of considerable in- terest to transnational corporations especially those in the pharmaceutical products and medical equipment business. In conclusion, it is argued that the underlying assumption 'Health is what you get from a health service' should be re- placed with the alternative approach that states that Health is what you get from meeting basic people's needs, PHC included. c) 'International aid is the only way to finance health' A frequent omission from UN and WHO texts on health, poverty and development is the concept of distribution of wealth in the world. A narrow and static vision of economic arrangements in the world is proposed in which there are rich, donor nations and there are poor, recipient countries with no connections made be- tween the two. The social justice approach to health rejects poverty as a fact of life and focuses attention on impoverish- ment as a process which is inherent to capitalist accumulation and the inevitable concentration of power and wealth. In neoliberal thinking, the only source of financing for health action in developing countries is international aid or charity. Given the pitiful levels and questionable value of international aid, this perspective is deeply flawed. International aid is not designed to change the structure and dynamics of relations between North and South. On the contrary, it is fully integrated into the current international financial architecture in terms of its goals and values. Aid brings more money back to the donor country than is actually 'donated' --and it inevitably results in undue influence if not outright inter- ference in public policy (including national health policy) in the recipient country. There is a striking disproportion between the amounts raised through international aid and the amounts which would be re- leased through simple macroeconomic measures to halt and then reverse the flow of resources from South to North. International aid totals around US$ 50 billion annually. In 2001, indebted countries paid out US$ 382 billion to service their debts. UNC- TAD estimates that developing countries lose US$ 700 billion an- nually from unfair trade. And US$ 160 billion could be raised annually if earned income from offshore accounts were taxed. The social justice approach to health rejects the assumption that international aid is the way to finance health and proposes as an alternative approach: A fair and rational international economic order so that sovereign states may meet the needs of their people sustainably and without external interference. Such an approach is respectful of human rights, national sovereignty and democracy and offers a sustainable and equitable perspective on health and development. d) 'Representative democracy respects human rights' Many UN and WHO documents purport to convey faith in democracy, fairness and respect for human rights --as practiced today in rich countries and preached to poor countries. Ironically, many of these texts and in particular those addressing health, pov- erty and development, prescribe to countries a very particular strategy in matters which are properly of national sovereignty (e.g., budget levels for health or choice of overall economic policy). There is a crisis in democracy today (nationally and interna- tionally) which goes far beyond the minor imperfections which have always been acknowledged and are occasionally addressed. The more imperfect our democracies become, the louder our lead- ers proclaim their attachment to its principles. Behind the scenes, many of them violate its most fundamental principles with increasing impunity. At the same time, all five of the in- divisible human rights (political, civil, social, economic and cultural) are grossly violated by the same forces which are un- dermining democracy. At the international level, gross interference by the powerful nations, in particular the USA, in the democratic processes of developing countries is well documented. Suffice it to say that almost every legitimate people's movement for democracy in de- veloping countries has been crushed --with violence that ranges from sudden, extreme and overt to slow, long, drawn-out and cov- ert. It is argued that the neoliberal approach to health is more or less antithetical to a social justice and human rights based ap- proach to health. WHO faces the considerable challenge of recon- ciling the irreconcilable - namely its own Constitution and the UN Charter with neoliberal ideology and policy as imposed by the IFIs, in particular the World Bank --which is today the major player in global health policy making. The policies the WB promotes (and imposes through other IFIs) are: a retreat of the state, privatization of national assets, deregulation (which in effect removes key areas of the economy from democratic control), and export-oriented production at the expense of national self sufficiency. They would all appear to be incompatible with sustainable development and indeed with de- mocracy and human rights. The assumption that the powerful nations responsible for today's world order are models of democracy and respect for human rights must be recognised for what it is: pure propaganda. AK

Jon Embree doesn't think Colorado will replace BYU as Utah's arch-rival
Posted By John Henderson On November 20, 2012 @ 12:26 pm In Football,Pac-12,University of Colorado | 10 Comments
BOULDER –It's Rivalry Week in Boulder, in case you didn't know which you probably don't. The inclusion of Colorado and Utah into the Pac-12 last year made them natural travel partners in basketball and end-of-the-year rivals in football.
Only one problem: Last year was their first game against each other since 1962. Friday at Folsom Field will be their second.
"It's still a little different getting used to that," said Embree who still feels like Nebraska is their traditional rival. "As the two programs continue to grow I think this will become a game. I don't know if it'll ever be a true rivalry just because they'll always have BYU. That's a long, contested rivalry. So I don't know if this will ever replace that but it'll still be a game of importance for both programs."

Luflic had some amazing chairs at Toronto's Interior Design Show this past weekend, really catching the collective eye with two pieces called In The Round. Both these production-ready chairs, designed by Brent Cordner, are named after the in-the-round knitting technique and over 50 feet of wool sleeve is used to cover the tubular steel frame for the felt version and 30 feet for the stitch version. The Snowshoe chair (after the jump) won an award at IDS for Best prototype and it is an incredibly light chair made from a composite of wood and Kevlar and based on the traditional snowshoe. The Meander chair is a continuous length of nickel-reinforced copper tubing that results in surprisingly comfortable sculptural seating.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
New in My Planner, you can add photos and stories from your dating days, engagement and wedding.
Find out how to become a Real Wedding on TheKnot.com and in our magazines.
My fiance has a child from his first marriage that I have no interest or desire in incorporating into my wedding. Some say that I am obligated to do so, but my future husband just wants to do what makes me happy. He comes from a large, traditional family who would be offended if I don't incorporate his son into the festivities. I don't want to because it's our wedding day, and I don't need a reminder of my fiance's past lack of contraception. What do you think?
We hate to break it to you, but this "reminder of his past lack of contraception" is your fiance's son and, like it or not, he's going to be a major part of your life! After all, your husband's son is your stepson. It's selfish to simply decide this kid has no place in your life together. Clearly you have issues about this situation, issues that need to be resolved before you get married. Who's included in your wedding is up to the two of you, but including your fiance's son will set the stage for his involvement in your lives. The family's opinion aside, don't you want this child to feel loved by his dad -- and don't you want to be a part of that too? For his son's sake, hopefully the answer is yes. Now's the time to begin what can become a very special relationship.

Goldman Objects to Bank of America Settlement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report) is the latest investor to object to Bank of America's (BAC - Get Report) $8.5 billion mortgage settlement, saying it did not have sufficient information to evaluate the deal in a court filing late Tuesday.
According to a Bloomberg report, the investment bank said in its filing that it could not determine whether "all investors who are similarly situated will be treated equally."
Bank of America is seeking approval of its $8.5 billion settlement, which it negotiated with a group of institutional investors including Blackrock (BLK - Get Report) and Pimco as well as subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs. Bank of New York Mellon (BK - Get Report) acted as a trustee of the affected mortgage-backed securities trusts.
Investors including AIG (AIG - Get Report), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the National Credit Union Administration, six Federal Home Loan Banks and several public pension funds have objected to the deal.

Tennessee Democrats Disavow Senate Candidate Mark Clayton
NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Democratic Party released the following statement in response to Mark Clayton receiving the most votes in the Democratic Primary for US Senate.
"The only time that Clayton has voted in a Democratic primary was when he was voting for himself. Many Democrats in Tennessee knew nothing about any of the candidates in the race, so they voted for the person at the top of the ticket. Unfortunately, none of the other Democratic candidates were able to run the race needed to gain statewide visibility or support.
"Mark Clayton is associated with a known hate group in Washington, D.C., and the Tennessee Democratic Party disavows his candidacy, will not do anything to promote or support him in any way, and urges Democrats to write-in a candidate of their choice in November."
