About the Author
Rebecca Tope
Author of four murder mystery series, featuring Den Cooper, Devon police detective, Drew Slocombe, Undertaker; Thea Osborne, house sitter in the Cotswolds and now Persimmon Brown, Lake District florist. Also "ghost writer" of the novels based on the ITV series Rosemary and Thyme.
New Book
The Coniston Case is now available. Simmy and her assistant Melanie are struggling to meet all the Valentine's Day orders for bouquets of red roses. It comes as a shock to realise that not every floral offering is well intentioned... a number of mischievous anonymous orders are causing considerable complications.
The Indifference of Tumbleweed by Rebecca Tope
A self-published ebook, available from all outlets, price £2.99 or thereabouts. This is the historical novel I wrote as a result of a trip across the western states, featuring Oregon Trail migrants of 1846. It is a coming-of-age story, primarily, and is the first of a trilogy.
Another ebook, following good sales of the first. This is also the story of a journey, but this time in the eighth century AD. A young man, Cuthman, is called by God to travel across southern England, taking his mother with him in a hand cart, or wheelbarrow. They have many adventures, and there are stories within the story. Finally they arrive in the town of Steyning, which was then on the coast. Cuthman builds a church and Stening is renamed St Cuthman's Port. The tale is told by his mother.
Please have a look at this book - you can read several pages for free. It's a great favourite of mine.
NEBO THE NAILER by Sabine Baring-Gould. Nail-making in the Midlands was a major industry from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Then industrialisation threw the hand-made nails into jeopardy. This is a novel that shows the transitions and social disruptions that ensued, centred on romantic entanglements between two very different classes. £6.50. Available direct from Praxis Books.
Some Personal Stuff
I grew up on farms, first in Cheshire, then in Devon. It was a childhood full of powerful elemental experiences. Cruelty, death, frustration alternated with idyllic summer days, the teamwork of the harvest, the delight of the young animals. No two days were quite the same. Some of these memories have found their way into A Dirty Death, my first novel.
I now live in rural Herefordshire, on a smallholding situated close to the beautiful Black Mountains. I have Cotswold sheep and two elderly dogs - the pigs I enjoyed so much are all gone now, leaving rather a gap. Their paddock is slowly being transformed into a wild garden, with trees, pond and lots of bamboo. Evenings are spent spinning, knitting and weaving, and commissions will be taken for big warm pure wool throws and blankets. Recently I've added alpaca to the stock of fleece, which makes gorgeous baby blankets.

2008 Big Ten Football Season Preview: Iowa
Aug. 13, 2008
Iowa enters the 2008 season off a 2007 campaign that was disappointing for many in the Hawkeye program. With a record of 6-6 and a 4-4 mark in Big Ten play, Iowa missed out on a postseason bid for the first time since heading to six straight bowl games from 2001-06. Youth and inexperience may have led to the .500 record, but as with many instances, things tend to get better with time. The Hawkeyes are still young this season and have had to replace 14 starters, including seven on offense and its entire backfield. Of the 51 lettermen returning to Iowa City, 34 have earned just one letter, while only seven are three-year letterwinners. Suffice to say, there will be plenty of opportunities this season, which leaves head coach Kirk Ferentz longing for his team to stay healthy and hungry. OFFENSE: Junior Jake Christensen returns to the quarterback position after starting every game last season. He had an efficiency rating of 116.9 and tossed 17 touchdowns to only six interceptions. On the year he was 198-of-370 passing for 2,269 yards. Behind Christensen is no one with true game experience. Sophomore Ricky Stanzi, redshirt freshman Marvin McNutt, and potentially three freshman recruits will continue battling for the backup role. From the backup to the backfield, questions still remain. Gone are last year's rushing pair of Albert Young and Damian Sims, who accounted for 97 percent of the Hawkeyes' rushing yards last year. Sophomores Paki O'Meara and Jayme Murphy have seen limited playing time, but have pleased Ferentz with their work so far. Nate Guillory might also make a bid for some time. The junior college transfer rushed for 2,644 yards on 325 carries for 28 touchdowns during his time at Coffeyville C.C. in 2007. Christensen will find no problem finding familiar targets through the air as four receivers return from last year. Look for senior Andy Brodell and junior Trey Stross to be the primary targets, while sophomores Derrell Johnson-Koulianos and Colin Sandeman are frequent options. Johnson-Koulianos led the team in receiving last year with 38 receptions for 482 yards and two touchdowns. Iowa will return nearly all of its offensive line starters from last year, led by sophomore tackle Bryan Bulaga and senior guard Seth Olsen. Also on that line is junior tight end Tony Moeaki. The All-America candidate, who is expected to play a key role in the Hawkeyes' offense this season, caught 14 passes for 170 yards and three touchdowns last year before missing the final eight games of the season with an injury.
DEFENSE: Two experienced tackles will anchor Iowa's defensive line this season. First-team All-Big Ten selection Mitch King will spend his senior campaign opposite of classmate Matt Kroul, who garnered honorable mention accolades in the conference last year. King has racked up 174 career tackles and 39 tackles for loss, while Kroul has amounted 181 career stops, including 13 behind the line. The primary void to fill in 2008 is at linebacker. Mike Humpal and Mike Klinkenborg were primary fixtures in the Hawkeye lineup, combining for 202 tackles in 2007, but their graduation has left Iowa looking for its next big hitters. Junior A.J. Edds returns at outside linebacker, having made 80 stops and 3.5 tackles for loss last year. Look for sophomores Jeff Tarpinian and Jacody Coleman and junior Pat Angrer to get the majority of playing time at the other two positions this year. Iowa is also faced with replacing its two starting defensive backs. Charles Godfrey, who was selected in the third round of the NFL Draft, combined with Adam Shada to total 48 starts for the Hawkeyes. Seniors Bradley Fletcher and Drew Gardner are the likely replacements in those starting roles. SPECIAL TEAMS: Sophomore punter Ryan Donahue returns this season after being named honorable mention All-Big Ten as a freshman. He averaged 41.1 yards per boot in 2007 and the team's net average of 39.4 was second in the conference. Sophomore Daniel Murray and junior Austin Signor split place-kicking duties last year and will again battle for the lead role. On the opposite side of the ball, improvement was seen last year in rushing the kicker. The Hawkeyes blocked five kicks last season after failing to tip a single one in 2006. MISCELLANEOUS: Iowa is in its second and final year of not having to face Michigan and Ohio State, and three non-conference home games to start the season should get the Hawkeyes rolling. * Iowa's key non-conference battle will come on the road as it will play at Pittsburgh on Sept. 20. * In Pitt's final game of 2007, the Panthers upended (now Michigan head coach) Rich Rodriguez and second-ranked West Virginia, 13-9, which ousted them from BCS National Championship contention and essentially locked Ohio State in the title game. * Six of the 12 Hawkeye opponents played in a bowl game last season.

WILMINGTON -- You may be able to work around the sewer hook-up moratorium in New Hanover County.
This week the state announced the ban on new buildings linking to the northeast interceptor.
That has some people looking for alternatives to the city sewer line.
One alternative is septic tanks.
Septic systems will only work if you have enough land to hold the tank and to be far enough from your well.
The systems can be used for both homes and businesses.
Michelle Inman from Inman Septic Tank Service says, "we have done commercial properties before and they base it on the number of employees that is there that determines the size of the septic tanks that are used."
City, county and state leaders met yesterday to discuss the moratorium and the possibility of lifting it.
There are no decisions to report yet.

Le Plug: A Home for Alternative Music in Tunis
By Chris Barfield | Feb 15 2013
Electronic ,Heavy metal ,Khaled Trabelsi ,Kobet El Hawa ,la marsa ,On my first night in Tunis this November, I was whisked away by my new colleagues to a club on the beach in La Marsa. I had my first taste of Tunisia's trademark beer, Celtia, and danced until 3 a.m. in the morning.  This wasn't the Tunis I was expecting; the place I had heard about on the news was a divided country struggling with an ailing economy and its own identity.  This Tunis, however, was full of energy, creativity, optimism, and fun. And the name of the club: Le Plug.
Located on the top floor of Kobet El Hawa (Dome of the Wind) in La Marsa, Le Plug juts out into the Mediterranean and commands a panoramic view of the sea and nearby hills of the upscale Tunis suburb of Sidi Bou Said. During the day, Le Plug offers an eclectic mix of music for intellectuals playing a game of chess or young people waiting for their turn at the tattoo parlor housed in the bar (tattoos and piercings are made by appointment, and the parlor opens at 3 p.m.). But at night, tables are replaced with speakers, and the space is consumed by heavy metal and electronic beats.
Le Plug is a collaborative project between Khaled Trabelsi, who describes his role as "manager and rock god," and Haythem Achour, artistic director and member of Waveform, a collective of Tunisian electronic DJs and artists. Monday through Wednesday evenings, it hosts local bands that play heavy metal and classic rock, and on the weekend Waveform organizes a lineup of techno and electronic DJs. Tunisia Live sat down with Khaled recently to learn more about Le Plug, which just celebrated its one-year anniversary.
"I was working as a PR consultant for Kobet El Hawa," Khaled explains. "And I told my boss I had an idea for the space upstairs."
Tunisian artist Fatima Shammari was brought in to design and decorate Le Plug. Khaled says he wanted something alternative, but still appealing to a broad audience. Â The result is a mix of street art and graffiti with homemade furniture. Fifty-five gallon oil drums and wooden pallets have been transformed into tables and chairs. Â The large outside terrace overlooking the water boasts an attractive wooden bar and is encased in glass.
The name, Le Plug, is intended to conjure ideas of energy and connectivity.  "People feel free when they are here, like they are in their own home.  There is no judgement,†he says.
As a kid, Khaled watched rap and hip hop music on MTV. One day, he saw a Metallica video and was hooked on the heavy metal genre.  "We never had that kind of music in Tunisia,†Khaled says. "I wanted a place for people to be able to play and listen to heavy music.â€
"The heavy metal scene had been dead for the last ten years here in Tunis, but now we've hosted six international shows in the last year alone,†he continues.
One year in, Khaled is not content to rest on his laurels.  His goal is to build Le Plug's credibility with the international heavy metal community by continuing to host concerts with well-known artists.  After three years, he hopes to be able to organize a massive heavy metal festival similar to ones in Europe and the United States.  "I've been to many festivals in Europe and had a great time. I want other Tunisians to be able to have that experience.â€
Khaled's boss always wonders why Le Plug does so well.  "This place is magic,†Khaled responds. "We have put a part of our souls in it.â€
Le Plug is the type of place where you come with one group of friends and leave with another. Everyone is friendly and having a good time. Crazy and full of energy at night, it's also surprisingly relaxing during the day with a beautiful view and sophisticated company.
Away from the music inside, all types of people gather on the terrace to discuss current issues facing the country. Khaled rejects the idea that these people represent a counter culture against more conservative values.
"We are not the resistance,†he insists. "We are in fact the first line of defense of the true Tunisia. Tunisia is not what people see on TV.  We are not a country of Islamists. We are many things. Here you can see the real Tunisia. The message that heavy metal gives us is 'We are free!'â€
Le Plug is located in La Marsa at 1 rue Mongi Slim on the top floor of Kobet El Hawa. For more information about Le Plug's upcoming events, please visit its website.  There is a Happy Hour everyday from 3:00 – 9:00 p.m. with half-liter Celtia drafts for 5 dinar ($3.20). Food includes pizza, tapas, and pasta from the kitchen of Kobet El Hawa.

Why not? Hmmm, that is a fair question. You know what, I'll concede the point to you. If Caroline feels like it is worth her time to play there and (hopefully) win a title good for her. I feel like that time would be better spent tweaking her game and preparing for Tokyo and Beijing but let's see how things play out.

BOX 1.1 Marine Corps Implementing Concepts for OMFTS "Maritime Prepositioning Force 2010 and Beyond," February 1997* "A Concept for Future Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain," October 1997* "A Concept for Ship-to-Objective Maneuver," November 1997* "Casualty Care Concept for Marine Corps Operational Maneuver From the Sea (Working Draft)," January 1998** "MAGTF Sustained Operations Ashore," October 1998* "A Concept for Advanced Expeditionary Fire Support—The System After Next," April 1998* "Sea Based Logistics: A 21st Century Warfighting Concept," May 1998* |
Building on the foundation set by the concepts in these two white papers, the Marine Corps began developing its vision of a new capability that would enable amphibious operations to exploit the sea as maneuver space and focus directly on operational objectives, rather than first seizing and securing a base of support ashore, and then pushing out to objectives. This vision, Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS),3 is the cornerstone of the Marine Corps efforts to shape its fighting doctrine, forces, and weapon systems of the future. More recently, the Marine Corps has published several implementing concepts supporting OMFTS (see Box 1.1). Collectively, the OMFTS vision and set of supporting concepts serve to stimulate thinking, focus debate, and shape ideas. They represent the first steps in an evolutionary, iterative process of defining the future doctrine, tactics, and capabilities of the Marine Corps.
Shaping the logistics capabilities of the Navy and Marine Corps to meet the needs of the evolving OMFTS conceptual framework is an enormously complex undertaking. It entails examining, in an integrated strategic planning process, how well and at what costs various combinations of force structure, equipment, and operating practices—both combat and logistics—might meet future needs for naval expeditionary forces. In such a process, combat and logistics capability are inseparable, for while the needs of combat set logistics requirements, the limits of logistics constrain combat. As always, the importance of desired combat capabilities must be weighed against their logistics implications and costs.
At this stage in the evolution of OMFTS concepts, OMFTS still leaves

She grinned.
That's my secret.
Their courtship included hikes down a muddy road, him getting to know her family and winning their love. It was an improbable union and grew more so when Helen and Peter married and, after his visa expired, moved to South Dakota.
Peter got another computer job, and they moved to the Twin Cities. So much was new to Helen, but she was determined to adapt. Her first time on an escalator, she stepped on as if she'd done it her whole life, totally assured that Peter wouldn't lead her into danger.
And there was the 1991 Halloween blizzard. She tried opening the front door and couldn't because of the snowdrifts that had piled up. Watching Helen's expression, Peter doubled over with laughter.
She wondered what kind of frozen hell he'd brought her to.
When do we go home? she asked.
Any time you want to, he replied.
But they stayed. They had four children and built a family life in Rosemount, getting to know neighbors and becoming involved in the Church of St. Joseph, where Peter taught confirmation classes and the children went to grade school.
On most summer evenings, Peter built a bonfire in the back-yard fire pit, and sat near it until somebody joined him. They often had deep spiritual conversations. But he was never serious for long, keeping the mood light around the house, never using real names. Helen was "Mrs. Wiggins," or "Flossy" for her love of dental flossing.
For their 17th anniversary this year, Peter gave Helen a card listing the "Top 10 great things about being married as long as us."
Peter added six more. "We are there to help each other," he wrote. "We play ridiculous games together... We are furnaces for each other... We love each other a lot. Really a lot."
In late July, Peter and Justina talked around the fire about an accident in the news. A man had died and his family was left behind. Justina asked why bad things happen to good people.
Justina remembers what he told her: I can guarantee you, in 100 percent of those cases, those people are always ready to go.
The phone rang just before 6 p.m. on Aug. 1. He was stuck in traffic, he told Helen, and was on his way to pick up their friend -- a priest from Kenya -- to bring him to dinner. The phone went dead and it went right to voice mail when Helen called back.
At first, she didn't worry.

Is their anyway to stream any other types of videos besides just YouTube videos, on iPads you can only view YouTube videos? If that's true then that's blows.
Viewing online videos other than YouTube
You can get Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant, and most networks have their own app. Access to those apps may depend on your cable service. There's also Vimeo and many others.

I know all of those apps, but you have to pay for most them. Any site where I can watch it for free, I am trying to find a site to watch the Simpsons,

Don't know any sites showing illegal streams of copyrighted shows. And unless it got past the reviewers, Apple wouldn't allow an app with that feature either.

Dunno how many of you guys have seen our website, but we've been working on adding new content, and I just finished on the first major one- a gallery/portfolio showcasing some of our best stuff. It's got a few pieces that aren't on dA yet (but will be eventually), so check it out if you're so inclined.
Next I'll be updating our Coroflot portfolio- it's got stuff not on here yet too. (www.coroflot.com/tymime)

It's becoming more obvious to me that the breakdown of personnel on the offense will be a bit different this year than "textbook." The key to the whole thing is the versatility of Garrett Mills. Normally, we carry about 26 players on offense (24 if you factor out the kicker and the long snapper). Of the remaining 24, it usually breaks down: 3 QB 5 WR 3 TE 5 RB 8 OL This year, however, there is a decided weakness at the bottom end of both WR and QB. There is also decided depth on OL, RB, and TE. That tells me that there will be one less QB retained, and a sort of utility player added on. That's where Mills comes in. His Kevin Turner-like ability to be both a TE and a FB creates more value on offense than an emergency QB we'd likely never see (and would have given up on the season if we did, anyway). Here is my best guess of the non-ST offensive roster: QB (2): Brady, Cassell WR (5): Branch, Caldwell, Jackson, Brown, Childress/Kight TE (3): Graham, Watson, Thomas RB (6): Dillon, Maroney, Faulk, Pass, Mills, Cobbs/Evans OL (8): Light, Mankins, Koppen, Hochstein, Neal, O'Callahan, Kazcur, Gorin/Brit/ Each of the players there has some good value. A third-string QB brings nothing to the table. If he is in, the season is done anyway. For those obsessed with having 3 QB, here is my question--which of the above players would you cut to make room: --you certainly can't cut a QB --with Branch being unreasonable and Jackson hurt, we don't want to risk Childress/Kight getting picked up, and we may need both early on --the TEs are solid across the board --the O-line gets too banged up not to carry 8 solid guys --your best argument would be for the Cobbs/Evans slot, but those guys have looked pretty good (esp Cobbs). You'd have to make an argument that a 3rd QB whom we would likely never use would be more valuable than the 15 or so touches that sixth back would give us (never mind the depth). All I'm saying is that maybe carrying 3 QBs is not all it's cracked up to be.
Here is the way Belichick constructed the opening day rosters for 2000 to 2005 in terms of position count.
Mills is already the 38th most valuable player on the team. I would even argue for 9 O-linemen. A #3 QB has always struck me as a waste. If it comes to that, just put Mills in there! Or Wilfork for some quarterback sneaks!
Think I heard the boys on BCN mention before the 'zona game that Faulk may be considered an emergency QB.
I think that in some cases that having 3 QBs makes sense..,you have a vet to help guide things and a young one to groom...but that is NOT the case this year..a vet is not needed per se..and Cassel is moving up strongly. At first it seems 3 is the right number, but the only tme a 3rd would come into play would be if 2 are injured in the game. It does happen, but rarely. And that is why Faulk could be the emergency QB... If they need a QB, I am sure one can be found in the week from one game to the next. There should be a QB on the PSqd, so that having a QB in practice is there and there is also a possible Shadow Roster QB waiting...It may be a bit of a gamble, but I think it's worth it this year.
The "norm" is 25 on offense, adding one OL to your list below. I don't think we need 6 running backs. We haven't carried even 5 since 2002. We don't have a real FB position. I agree with five running backs, including the H-back position that Mills will fill, but that is because we have Mills; otherwise four is fine. My roster yesterday had 23 on offense. I'm a bit uncomfortable with this. Arallbee's table shows why. 8 is short one at OL. We should have 5 starters, 2 back-ups inside (G/C), 2 back-up's outside (OT). So I'm fine with 2 QB's, but realize that the position is really going to the Defense. Of course, we need an emergency #3 QB (Faulk?). Also, we should have at least one QB on the Practice Squad.
Thank you for the post. Ian should make it a sticky. My "norm" has always been: 3 QB 4 RB/FB/Hback 5 WR 3 TE 9 OL 1 R This year the 9 OL spot and the 3rd QB position seem gone. The returner is Andrews. One spot goes to the defense.
Don't be surprised if BB brings Vinny in. BB has a history with Vinny and Vinny could help tutor Matt while being the #3. Not saying it will happen but don't be surprised if it does.
I must say that I will be surprised if NE doesn't have a 3rd QB on the roster by the time the season starts. Sure, if both Cassell and Brady go down with major injuries, the season is likely over. It is entirely plausible, however that both QBs go out with minor injuries that prohibit them from returning in that game, but will lead to only 1-2 missed games. The season is certainly not over, and just having a competent 3rd QB can be the difference between winning a couple games and losing 2-3 (the missed game/s and the game that Cassell is knocked out in). And I know that people like to say that we could just use someone like Faulk who played QB before, but that really isn't viable. Is Faulk going to practice as a QB or a RB? Unless he practices as a QB, then he is virtually useless when he comes in. Lastly, the 3rd QB is the most efficient roster spot (not in actually playing ability - of course), as they don't count towards the game day actives.
The third QB is there in case there are injuries to two QB's in a single game, and secondarily to make sure the back-ups all know the system. However, in a case where you have only two, should one get injured, you would tell the second not to run and you'd keep extra tight ends and backs in for blocking. If Brady is injured, the Patriots would immediately pick up a third QB, to back up Cassel. Guys still out there include: Kerry Collins - should be able to come in and quickly back up at QB Tommy Maddox - capable back-up QB Vinnie Testaverde - familiar with Belichick's system Kliff Kingsbury - talent drop-off, but trained in Pats' system Note that placing a veteran on the roster on Game One guarantees his salary. It may make sense to pick up one of these guys later in the season if the need arises.
Great post. This is the kind of stuff we read this board for. Your data supports the theory we won't carry 6 RBs. With Pass on PUP and Cobbs on the PS, it will be 4 or 5. One name to add to the mix on the O-Line is Mruczkowski. If we cut him, he'll probably end up as the starter for Cleveland. Romeo's crew has had 3 injuries at C already. How ready is Koppen? Mruc could add depth if Koppen's not 100%. No way Bramlett or Mortenson make the 53. One or both will be on the PS. Only chance for a 3rd QB is if BB likes a vet out there. I don't see it happening.
I mostly agree with you although I don't see Pass being even close to making this team. I like Cobbs alot but he seems a bit redundant to me. He's another Kevin Faulk. We just don't have any room for him. I think BB will try to place keep him on the PS but someone will take him from us, probably Mangini. Evans is the guy I'd keep. He's a great inside runner in short yardage situations and he can also play FB. He brings something different to the table. As far as two or three QB's. I think it's going to be two. If we do get in a bind, I don't think we're any worse off with Faulk lining up back there than we would be with one of these other guys. Those other guys aren't anywhere near ready. As far as a long term solution if Brady gets hurt. That's when BB would go after a veteran. I still maintain that Flutie is part of our "shadow roster" and would come out of retirement if we really needed him to.
I was arguing the same thing for a long time, but I'm starting to come around to the 2-qb camp. Yes, if Brady and Cassel both go down in the same game you're out of luck for that game. But Casey Bramlet--and maybe another QB soon to be cut somewhere--will be waiting on the PS for next week, to be backed up by an emergency vet-for-hire. It's a calculated risk, but arguably better than signing a JAG to take up a precious roster spot from the bench all year.
I disagree. First this team will be a 53+2 PUP team. Pass and Kaycur will be puped, and can join the team at mid-season after a couple of guys are IRed, as is statistically likely. One of the additions, will be an O lineman, so both Gorin and Britt make it, assuming Gorin is not traded. The other is more questionable. I also don't know if Childress makes it, or is PSed. I suspect the Pats may elect to keep an additional defensive player or ST instead. there is sure no other QB worth carrying on the 53, than Brady and Cassel. I also think that BB may keep both kickers for a short time. I suspect that teams needing a kicker will see who is cut; off of our competition, it appears we have two guys who are good enough to win a job. BB may hold both until he can spring a draft pick out of some desperate team, who thinks they will get a free pickup vai the FA/waiver wire. It will also be insurance to see the rookie Ghost, in a real game pressure situation.

Ultrastructurally there are some clear differences in the pathology of muscle in X chromosomelinked muscular dystrophy of the mouse (mdx) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In particular the mouse muscle does not become infiltrated by large aggregations of connective tissue. It has been proposed that the differences are due to secondary biochemical changes consequent on the absence of dystrophin in both conditions. If this is the case, attention should be directed to the earliest ultrastructural changes held in common by both disorders. The most conspicuous of these, preceding myofibril breakdown, is dilation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Any physiological link between this and the absence of dystrophin remains to be determined. We suggest that in themdx mouse, the widespread myofibre necrosis occurring at 3–4 weeks is triggered by increased mechanical demands causing the lack of dystrophin to become critical at this time. Subsequent regeneration of the myofibres appears to be almost completely successful. The ultimate failure of regeneration in DMD, in contrast, may be due to an additional factors acting in DMD exacerbating the lack of dystrophin. This additional factor may be associated with the plasma membrane lesions (not seen inmdx). Alternatively there may be factors present in the mouse that compensate for the lack of dystrophin. It is pointed out that to understand better the different processes occurring inmdx and DMD we need to learn more about the factors which control the balance between the growth of muscle and the growth of connective tissue in both normal and pathological human and mouse muscle.

Welcome to the latest edition of Pitchfork's Guest List. Each week, we ask one of our favorite artists to fill us in on what they've been up to lately: which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour. This week it's Black Mountain's Jeremy Schmidt, who tips us off to Canada's newest record shop, recalls a showstopping stage fight at a Sunn O))) concert, and tells us the best place to take in a gig when visiting Holland.
>> Favorite New Songs of the Past Year
Have you heard El Perro del Mar? I heard some of that stuff recently, that's pretty good. It really gets under your skin. I really like that song "Party", and her LP I guess. I've had that stuck in my head lately, "Party", and another one called "Dog". I didn't know anything about her really, and I heard them just recently-- I heard that LP and I was like, "man, I've heard all these songs before," and I think I heard them when we were on tour or something, maybe when we were in Sweden or in the van or something, but it's good; I like that stuff.
I liked a couple songs off that Sunn O))) and Boris album, Altar, there's one called "Akuma No Kuma", I liked that, and another one called "The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep)"-- those are pretty good.
Another song I kind of dig is one that someone put on a mix CD for me, by Brightblack Morning Light, called "Everybody Daylight".
And one band I really like called Circle put out a new album that I picked up while I was out on tour. They're from Finland; they're a pretty interesting band. They're a bit like Judas Priest meets Neu! or something. They're kind of like, somewhat theatrical metal, but then they have this real trance kind of element. They're definitely a pretty interesting band. You never know which way they're going to go in any given song.
Oh, and I like that song called "Forest on Fire" by Tiny Vipers. It's a good song. I dig that one.
>> Favorite Older Songs at the Moment
Well, I'm listening to older stuff constantly. Lately I've been really into Roy Harper. I really like that song, "The Lord's Prayer"-- it's like a side-long track on this album called Life Mask.
"In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson. I listen to that a lot.
A couple others: Ghost do a cover of "Dominoes", the Syd Barrett song, and they sort of go into this amazing organ thing at the end, which is pretty good.
I'm just trying to think of songs I've had stuck in my head lately.. Oh, that song "Trouble" by Lindsey Buckingham [ laughs ], and what else? Kate Bush, "Running Up That Hill", I always get that stuck in my head, probably because one of my bandmates has it as his ringtone.
"Each One Teach One" by Oneida is a great one.
"Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie is another good one.
>> Favorite New Band
I can't think of a favorite new band! Like, I can think of a band that I'm really into right now that's, like, an older band. But something that's brand new is, like...
I heard that band Citay, I like that. I guess that's a new band, right? That guy Tim Green from the Fucking Champs. I've only heard the album a couple of times but I definitely liked it. And I like that El Perro del Mar, I guess that's new. That stuff's pretty good. Those are kind of different ends of the spectrum I guess.
>> Favorite Song Ever
I'd say maybe it would be "Some Velvet Morning" by Nancy & Lee.
Pitchfork: I was just listening to that record yesterday. It's one of my favorites.
That song-- I think I've loved that song always. I can't think of a time where I didn't want to hear it. That would be one, definitely. I'm a big Harry Nilsson fan, but I couldn't pare it down to, like, one song.
Pitchfork: Not even "One"?
[ laughs ] Maybe that song, there you go! That song is amazing. That's a good one. And "Africa" by Toto is another runner-up.
Pitchfork: Totally.
>> Best Recent Concert
Probably the Sunn O))) show that I saw at ATP. That was pretty monstrous. Pretty amazing. Just sheer force of nature [laughs]. At the end of it, there seemed to be some kind of fight between two of the guys on stage-- one guy pushed the other guy right into the backline of amps and knocked down a whole stack of amps. And I was like, "Huh, is that theatre... or is that real aggression?" And from what I hear it was, like, yeah... dudes not getting along. But it was amazing. It was a good show.
And I also saw Circle play-- I guess this was over a year ago now-- but we were on tour again and we were in Dublin, and just kind of in the hotel lobby flipping through the weeklies, and we noticed that Circle were playing this show at this little pub that had this upstairs art space or something, and it was just totally captivating. Really good.
>> Last Great Film I Saw
Lately...I saw that movie Rescue Dawn on the airplane. That was pretty good. Not as good as Grizzly Man , though, which I saw recently. That's amazing. That's probably one of the better films I've seen lately. I also saw that movie Walkabout -- it's Nicholas Roeg. It's a pretty old film, but I just saw it a couple months ago, and it's really good.
>> Last Great Book I Read
My favorite book is probably Watership Down , that's an outstanding one. But I've been reading a biography on Badfinger on the road lately. That's a band that definitely had a lot of bad, bad luck. Nothing very good ever happened to that band. It's called Without You: The Tragic Story of Badfinger by Dan Matovina. This guy seems to be, like, an über-fan. He seems pretty thorough on the fact-noting tip. It's defintiely got quite a tone, this book. Interesting.
>> Favorite Piece of Musical Equipment
Pitchfork: How old is that model?
The one I have I think is, like, a later one, like late '70s, maybe even 1980. It was one of the ones that was badged the "Novatron", when they lost rights to the name, so they had to put this sticker over the name, says "Novatron". So it's one of the later ones, one of the more common ones, I guess, if you can call any of them common.
>> Favorite Record Shop
I'm not sure about that. I like the Amoeba shop in San Francisco, it's pretty great. I haven't been there for a while, though.
A friend of mine just opened a record store in Vancouver called Dandelion , and it's pretty great. They've got a lot more obscure, I guess collectible kind of stuff, 60s avant garde stuff and a lot of krautrock that I can't afford to buy [laughs]; I haven't even bought anything there yet. It's new-- I think he's only had the store open, sort of a basement shop, for a couple months.
There's a good record shop in Victoria, too, called The Turntable. Always nice to find a couple good things there.
>> Best Purchase of the Past Year
I bought an Oberheim Two Voice on eBay, that's a pretty nice piece of kit.
I also got this thing called a Memotron, which is like a virtual Mellotron, if you will, that I can actually take on tour [laughs], since the Mellotron stays put. That's probably one of the more sensible things I bought, so that I can do Mellotron things live. So, yeah, gear shit I guess would be the only stuff that I've bought in the last little while. Besides, maybe, a good pair of Clark's.
>> Best Thing I Did This Year
Nothing I can think of that I can divulge [laughs]. Been touring most of the time, and we had some pretty good moments on the tours.
>> Favorite Music Venue
That's another tough one; I always forget the names of places we've played. But there's a good one in Holland, in Groningen, called Vera . It's pretty good. I don't know if it's the greatest venue in terms of the greatest sounding or the greatest room, but it's just a nice place-- the hospitality is great. They have a common room upstairs where they feed you, and they also have their own in-house printing, they actually print their own posters there, like, a silkscreen shop. And they have this little bar downstairs that's separate from the venue, so it's just really good amenities-wise. A lot of bands have played there. They have all these 8x12s all over the place, and posters-- they actually had a U2 poster there from, like, 1982, when they played there I guess, that's still on the wall. It's kind of cool for that-- just a history of the bands that have passed through there over the years.
Another place that I like is The Independent in San Francisco. The sound is great in there, it sounds great from the stage, and it's a well run place.
>> Favorite TV Show at the Moment
Lately I've been watching "Miami Vice". I'm up to Season Four. I don't actually have cable, so I don't get to see much in the way of new stuff. I kind of just get to see stuff when it comes out on DVD. I like "The Office" a lot, like, the British one, the original "Office" I think is pure genius. But lately I've just been watching Season Four of "Miami Vice"-- not the best season, but still good.
>> Favorite Video Game at the Moment
Favorite video game? I guess Pong [laughs]. I like that game. It's a good one. The original video game.
>> Favorite Radio Show
Again, I don't really listen to the radio, so I don't know. I'll give props to BBC 6Music in England, because apparently one of the guys there likes my solo CD and has been playing it a lot there. I read that somewhere. BBC 6.. I didn't even know they went up that high. I thought it only went up to BBC 3 and then Channel 4 [laughs]. I guess things have changed a little bit, even in the UK.
>> My Ringtone
I don't even have a cellphone. But like I said, Josh has "Running Up That Hill" on his [laughs], that's why I have it stuck in my head lately.

SHANGHAI — China has taken another step toward loosening its capital controls and making its currency more freely convertible by approving the creation of a new kind of free trade zone here.
China's State Council, or cabinet, said it was establishing a pilot zone in Shanghai to test some of the government's financial overhauls, including interest rate liberalization and full convertibility of China's currency, the renminbi, according to reports Thursday in the state-run news media.
Analysts say the free trade zone will not just promote interest rate liberalization and currency convertibility but will also allow "financial product innovation" and the raising of money abroad or investment in foreign stocks by corporations.
Since taking office this year, Prime Minister Li Keqiang has been promising bold changes aimed at overhauling the economy and improving the nation's global competitiveness.
In May, a State Council meeting presided over by Mr. Li said that by the end of the year the government would outline a plan for full convertibility of the renminbi and make it easier for Chinese individuals to invest. Still, many analysts say they believe that China's currency will not be fully convertible until 2015 to 2018.
"The State Council expects this experiment as an essential step towards upgrading China's economy," Qu Hongbin, an economist at HSBC in Hong Kong, said in a report on Thursday. "It also expects the pilot's eventual national rollout."

Ziti with Honey Mustard Salmon
From Food & Wine
Rich salmon, roasted and flaked into a creamy, honey-mustard sauce is an ideal counterpoint to toothsome ziti here.

- 1 pound(s) salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon(s) honey
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon(s) cooking oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup(s) dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon(s) grainy or Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup(s) heavy cream
- 1.25 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 pound(s) ziti
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a small roasting pan. Put the salmon in the pan, skin side down. Spread the honey over the salmon and then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Roast the salmon until just barely done, about 12 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the fillet. Remove from the oven.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until about 1 tablespoon remains, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, cream, salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn off the heat. Flake the salmon and stir it and the parsley into the sauce.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the ziti until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce.
- Wine Recommendation: With the sweetness of the honey and the heat and acidity of the mustard, a fruity red wine such as a slightly chilled California pinot noir would be an excellent choice.

We get 1/2 through the communication stage which generally means she likes what is in my profile and doesn't run away screaming after looking at my picture. At this point, I get to ask her 3 questions. In one of those questions I asked, "Since you work for the Department of Justice, I was wondering what you thought of the Second Amendment." The next thing I know, she closes out the match.

today I realized that the midterm was going to start next week. Then, I
remembered that I would be kicked out of school if I failed one more subject. I
became sort of concerned, but nevertheless I stayed at my room and continued my
reading of modern warfare. It was very intriguing.
I was concentrating on the book, suddenly my cell phone started to ring. I felt
that it was too noisy and annoying but was also pleased of it. I was getting
increasingly tedious of being alone in my room. I accidentally didn't receive
the first call, listening to the music. I waited, and as I expected, my phone
ringed again. I took a deep breath and answered it.
high pitching voice of Miss Cho tortured my ears. She was my advisor, and
seemed to be extremely concerned of me, especially of my grades. She asked me
if I was preparing for the midterms, and stressed the situation I was in. I
told her that I was trying, and that I was grateful for her help. I felt sorry
of my lies To be honest, I was not trying, and actually did not care whether I
could attend this school or not. I would always laugh when people outside
praised our school. The phoniness of our school was unbearable for me. Everyone
was so concerned of how other people would evaluate them, and constantly
behaved phony. Even the school was made up of lies, and the most hilarious was
the EOP policy. I mean, who only speaks English in KMLA?
part about appreciating Miss Cho's attention for me was not a lie, however. She
did seem to truly wish my well-being. The problem was that her attention was
sort of annoying. Because of that, I hastily ended her call.
the phone call, I resumed my reading. At about 5:00 PM, my roommate John came
down to our room to ask me if I would eat dinner. I was kind of surprised
because John was the popular one, and usually never had to find someone to eat
with. Still, I refused because I was not hungry. He said ok, and curiously
asked me if I had time to read a book that was not related to my subjects. I
said that I probably do not have the time. Hearing my words, John sort of
sneered at me. I could see it from his looks. However, John said that he wished
me good luck and that he was sure that I would do well in the midterms. It was
very funny. Suppressing my laughter, I said thank you.
stayed for about 10 minutes and went to eat dinner with Justin who came to my
room to give back my computer. It was very interesting to observe their
conversation that was full of formal and meaningless words. It was also very
interesting how they were constantly trying to lure me into their conversation.
Maybe they felt bad for me for being alone and being in the danger of getting
expelled from school.
passed by, and suddenly I felt the change of the sky. I looked out of the
windown and saw the most beautiful sunset of my life. The reddish light of the
falling sun was covering everything in an immensely romantic way. The spirit of
every single subject on earth seemed to be woken up by the touch of the sun
being delightful about it. Feeling so happy, I took my outer clothing and ran
out of the dormitory. The magnificent glow filled my heart with happiness. I
stayed still for a long time, I think. At least I did not move until the sun
stopped glowing and the night filled in with such coziness. I realized that I
was smiling. There was nothing phony about the sun and the darkness! I stayed
outside until the houseparent shouted at me and forced me to come inside the
dormitory. I am sure I wouldn't easily forget this wonderful day.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for a Happy New Year
Software-as-a-service is also a more lucrative model for software firms like CRM. Instead of selling a software license and then trying to convince customers to spend big bucks on the next iteration of the software, the cloud model lets CRM charge recurring fees while trickling feature improvements onto the platform. And because integration with customers' systems takes place deep in the Salesforce platform, switching costs are extremely high for businesses to move to rival services. With a spotless balance sheet and rising analyst sentiment in shares, we're betting on this Rocket Stock for the first week of the new year.
Hertz Global Holdings
Car rental giant Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ - Get Report) is adjusting to a major change this quarter -- the firm just closed the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group in November, adding significant capacity to the firm's network. Hertz is one of the biggest car rental firms worldwide, with around 8,500 locations in 150 countries. That network size makes competition extremely challenging -- only Hertz and a handful of peers can offer travelers car rental desks wherever they are in the world.
The car rental business is capital intense, and Hertz got punished for its exposure during the financial crisis. Between a leveraged balance sheet and the drop-off in business travelers post-2008, car rental companies were in an unfriendly market. But investors over-corrected, and Hertz has done a good job of rebounding from its 2009 lows. While balance sheet leverage is a concern (financing all of the new cars in its fleet isn't cheap), it's fueling deeper margins in this low-rate environment we're in now.
An aging average car age in the U.S. bodes well for Hertz. Since disposing of its older fleet cars is an integral part of its business, a hot used car market means that the firm can earn significant money on disposal as well as rental income. Right now, Hertz has ample cash to handle any bumps in the road, and rising analyst sentiment puts this firm on our Rocket Stocks list for the first time.

Smile A Little Smile For Me: Ch1 [RusCan]He sits outside at a table with a coffee in his hand, bitter cold wind chapping his lips as he stares blearily at the grey sky.It didn't used to be this grey, he recalls, thinking back to the blue summer skies and sparkling sunsets; the warm nights looking up at the stars with the top down in Alfred's car.

Reader x Loki - Chapter NineteenTick Tick Tick Tick A constant tick echoed loudly, but sounded far away. The sound of white noise buzzed loudly in your ears, slowly becoming unbearable. The two sounds mixed together incompletely as you looked up at the glowing moon. The crescent moon curled high above, the stars twinkled brightly. After the noises continued rhythmically you reached over and turned the dial, silencing the old radio at your side on the rusty platform you sat on. You sighed, gazing longingly at the unending night sky, now the metallic ticks echoed lowly through your ears. An ominous wind now quietly swam through your head as if it were empty, each breeze tugging at your hair and anything it could grab hold of.Something in the sky twinkled brightly. It shone. A warm gold glow emitting from it, the sight making you gasp. After gazing at the gold orb in awe you leapt from you spot, landing on a rough, rock-like surface with a soft thud.You ran towards the orb, stopping when

January jobs report: Will 'OK' jobs market make politicians complacent?
Employers added 157,000 jobs in January, but the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent. Now, in a few weeks, sizable federal spending cuts could put an added damper on economic activity.
J Pat Carter/AP
US employers added 157,000 new jobs in January, an unexciting but solid total that helped to push the Dow Jones Industrial Average above the 14,000 level Friday morning.
A twice-monthly indicator of consumer confidence also rose Friday.
All this is welcome news, but it raises a question: With just about four weeks to go in high-stakes talks on fiscal policy, will these marketplace signals give politicians in Washington a false sense of security – a kind of license to engage in brinkmanship or do nothing?
It's an important query, because the economy remains in a fairly fragile condition, and the potential impact of the fiscal decisions on the economy are significant. In recent years, both America and European nations have seen some political standoffs resolved only after the marketplace sends signals of urgency.
If the sharply divided Congress can't agree to an alternative plan by March 1, then automatic federal spending cuts are scheduled to go into effect. Many economists believe this would weigh on job growth.
This comes as the economy is already moving slowly. Gross domestic product failed to grow in the fourth quarter (declining at a 0.1 percent annual rate), the Commerce Department reported this week. Economists are forecasting a slender growth rate of 1.6 percent for the current quarter.
American workers have been hit this month by a roughly 2 percent pay cut, due to the expiration of a temporary payroll-tax break at year's end. And despite employer job creation in January, the unemployment rate ticked upward a notch, to 7.9 percent, as more people joined the labor force.
The positive news is that the private sector has shown enough strength to keep chugging along in the past few months, despite lots of uncertainty surrounding whether federal taxes would rise (an early-January deal kept the tax hikes to a minimum) and whether the federal budget will face meaningful cuts (still to be determined).

A few days after revellers took over the city's roads in the name of New Year celebrations, a traffic policeman had a peculiar story to share. When he stopped a trio on a motorcycle in the early hours of January 1, the person riding the bike showed him receipts of five previous fine payments. They paid another 50 bucks and continued to drive in a zigzag fashion. "They were all young, educated and had good jobs. What do you do with such people?" he asked.

On Monday, the Chennai City Traffic Police (CCTP) took the first in a series of proposed steps that aim to tackle bad road behaviour and unsafe driving. While the increase in 'spot fine' rates has received wide attention, what is more significant is that repeat offenders would henceforth be targeted more stringently.
For certain offences, the fine could be three to four times more. Since the 200-odd e-challan devices deployed by CCTP would have to stay connected to an online database all through the day in order to identify repeat offenders, the discretionary powers of police personnel would be greatly reduced. From now, all offences would have a digital footprint and they can be tracked.
Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Sanjay Arora said that it would take a few months for the move to start showing results. "Fine collection would definitely increase manifold."
Increasing the penalty for bad road behaviour does have its benefits. Hyderabad did it in August last year and the number of road accidents dropped by 30-40 per cent in the last quarter of 2011.
Hyderabad Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) C.V. Anand said that traffic offences and road accidents are taken far too lightly in most Indian cities.
"Car owners park their vehicles obstructing traffic and get away with a mere Rs.100 fine. The amount is almost equal to a parking fee. In countries such as America, the fine amount for a single violation in dollar terms is as high as Rs.10,000," he said.
But levying a fine is just one of the solutions, say experts. Large-scale changes are also needed in the mandate and method of policing, they say.
M.K. Subramanian of the Automobile Association of Southern India said that policing needs to be enlightened, not just enforcement-driven.
"The police must understand that the purpose of a fine is not to increase the revenue of the government. They keep complaining about the low fines, but the best deterrence for over-speeding is to make the motorist wait on the spot for 30 minutes. The police also have the power to make a helmetless two-wheeler rider buy one on the spot."
Motorists such as Abdul Rahim single out the Rs.50 fine for jumping signals to make their point. "Half the traffic lights are not working anyway. When all the signals are blank, how can they implement the rule? What we need more than anything is a way to evaluate the performance of the traffic police. Just to show higher fine collection each year, pointless offences are booked, which may not at all have any impact on general road behaviour," Mr. Rahim said.
In case a traffic signal remains dysfunctional for more than two months, the police jurisdiction under which it comes under must be penalised, he added.
IIT-Madras professor K. Giridhar, whose team set up a speed monitoring system inside campus, said the next logical step is for the traffic police to link repeat offences with the insurance premium. "If you own a fancy car, the premium may cost up to Rs.15,000-18,000. If bad driving is going to make them pay a higher premium, then it starts hurting."
