Meanwhile, across the continent in Mali, events moved in the opposite direction in 2012. An ethnic Taureg rebellion spiraled into a takeover of the north by Islamist militants, while the army ousted Mali's democratically elected president. Malians hope that in 2013 their country can reunite and that democracy will be restored. If not, Western and African leaders fear Mali could become a failed state.
Some Malians say only force can dislodge the Islamists, while others place hope in dialogue. Meanwhile, worry is growing that ethnic grudges might transform a possible intervention into a tragedy of unintended consequences.
"Families affected by crisis may seek vengeance," says Mohamed Ag Ossad, the director of Tumast, a Tuareg cultural center in Bamako. "The state should take things in hand before there's an ethnic war."
This month soldiers loyal to coup leader Captain Amadou Sanogo removed Mali's interim prime minister – a brazen show of force that the US said endangered national dialogue and delayed a government recapture of the north, according to a statement on Dec. 11. Members of the security forces are also accused of beating, detaining, and killing critics of the army, as well as Tuareg and Arab men, said a December 20 report by Human Rights Watch.
For Moussa Mara, an accountant and district mayor in Bamako, such problems underline the need to reestablish democratic rule by holding presidential elections that were derailed by this year's coup. "Crisis can be an opportunity for our country," he says. "If we're intelligent."

Both former Republican House speaker Newt Gingrich and conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh called Supreme Court justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor a "racist" last week for remarks she made in 2001. Sotomayor said she hoped a wise Latina woman who reach a better conclusion than a white male. Today, Gingrich said he should not have used the word "racist" in referring to Judge Sotomayor. And that earned him a tongue-lashing from Limbaugh, who said he's standing by the "racist" label. So tonight, we ask: What do you think of the statement? And is this Newt Gingrich vs. Rush Limbaugh squabble evidence of a more serious rift within the GOP party? Tell us what you think. And you can follow "Nightline" anytime on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Nightline.

Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA -- Whenever the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers meet on the ice, a football-style shootout breaks out. This time, the Penguins scored last.
Chris Kunitz scored his second goal just 18 seconds into the third period to cap a four-goal rally that lifted Pittsburgh to a 5-4 victory over the Flyers on Thursday night.
Pascal Dupuis, James Neal and Tyler Kennedy also scored for the Atlantic Division leaders, who won their third straight game.
The teams have combined for 20 goals in their last two games after a memorable, high-scoring playoff round in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals last spring.
"We knew it would be a challenging game," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. "It was kind of a tale of two teams in the first two periods. We didn't come out with enough emotion and weren't really into the game. Maybe they got caught sitting back in the second."
Jakub Voracek had two power-play goals, and Zac Rinaldo and Kimmo Timonen also scored for the Flyers, who blew a 4-1 lead after the first period.
Both starting goalies -- Philadelphia's Ilya Bryzgalov and Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury -- were pulled after allowing four goals.
Scott Hartnell had his tying goal disallowed near the midpoint of the third period because his stick was above the crossbar when he deflected Timonen's shot into the net.
The Flyers fell to 11-13-1 and remain on the outside of the playoff race with 23 games remaining.
"It's embarrassing to the fans, embarrassing to one another," Hartnell said. "It's a big letdown. I don't know why we stopped playing."
The visitor has won all three games this season in this intrastate rivalry between two teams that struggle to play much defense against each other.
Voracek had a hat trick in a wild 6-5 win at Pittsburgh on Feb. 20. The Flyers and Penguins totaled 45 goals through the first four games of last year's first-round playoff series that Philadelphia won in six games.
Asked the last time he saw this kind of game, Neal replied: "The last time we played the Flyers. And the time we played the Flyers before that. And the time we played them before that."
A turnover by Timonen near Pittsburgh's blue line led to a 3-on-1 break for the Penguins. Crosby fed Kunitz, who ripped one past a diving Brian Boucher to give the Penguins their first lead in the opening minute of the third period.
An unusual number of Penguins fans at the Wells Fargo Center roared in approval while the orange-clad Flyers fans fell silent.
"It's one victory," Kunitz said. "We can't get too high. We're halfway through our season and we have to get better."
Dupuis got Pittsburgh's comeback started, scoring off a crisp, behind-the-net pass from Crosby to cut it to 4-2.
Just 2:43 later, Neal scored his team-high 15th goal. Neal tried to center a pass from the side of the net to Evgeni Malkin in front, but the puck hit Bryzgalov's blocker and went under him.
Then Kennedy ripped a slap shot just inside the left post to tie it at 4 with 4:13 left in the second. That ended Bryzgalov's night. Boucher entered to the usual "Boosh" chants.
"It can't break us," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "We need to come back and win a game."
The Flyers scored three times in the last 5 minutes of the first period to take a 4-1 lead.
First, Rinaldo put Philadelphia up 2-1 with his third goal of the season. Fleury kicked aside Nicklas Grossmann's slap shot, but the rebound went to Rinaldo in front and he snapped a wrister into the net.
Fleury then gave Philadelphia a gift goal when Timonen's floater from outside the left circle bounced off his chest and went in.
Seconds into a power play, Voracek got his 12th goal on a wrister from the point that hit defenseman Paul Martin's skate and trickled between Fleury's legs with only 8 seconds left in the period.
Fleury angrily flicked the puck out of the net and was replaced by Tomas Vokoun at the start of the second.
Voracek scored his team-high 11th goal to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead near the midpoint of the first period. Claude Giroux set it up with a crossing pass from the left circle to the right, where Voracek slipped a soft one-timer between Fleury's legs.
As the Flyers celebrated, Hartnell got into it with Neal, who was coming out of the penalty box. The Penguins ended up with a power play and Kunitz scored his 13th goal less than a minute later to tie it.
"We didn't play well in the first period, but we stuck with it," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.
Game notes
Matt Read was back in Philadelphia's lineup a month ahead of schedule after injuring his ribs in the first meeting against the Penguins. ... Voracek has nine goals in the last 10 games. ... Kunitz has a point in seven straight games, a career-high streak. ... The road team is 18-5-1 in this series going back to 2009. ... The Penguins are 10-3-1 in their last 14 games at the Wells Fargo Center, but they're 32-90-10 overall in Philadelphia. ... The Flyers' sellout streak is up to 93 games.

CONTOURS OF CULTURE by Ken Myers Musical MeasuresOne of the defining features of modern culture is the denial of an order in the structure of Creation. In The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis argues that until the advent of modernity, all human cultures assumed that the principal aim of wise living was to grow in the knowledge of "how to conform the soul to reality." By contrast, the typically modern preoccupation (propelled by technological prowess) is with "how to subdue reality to the wishes of men." The task of conforming the soul to reality was assumed to be an aesthetic as much as a moral project. Training the young to love the beautiful was intimately associated with teaching them to submit to the order of goodness and truth. In Plato's Republic, Socrates insists that "rearing in music is most sovereign." The power of music to shape the soul—for good or ill—is a function of music's participation in the cosmic order. Aristotle, in the Politics, similarly argued that "in rhythms and tunes there are likenesses particularly close to the genuine natures of anger and gentleness, and further of courage and moderation and of all the things opposite to these and of the other things pertaining to character." So "we are altered in soul when we listen to such things." Until the eighteenth century—that is, until the Enlightenment's exaltation of human ordering—Western culture in both theory and practice sustained the conviction that music had (in the words of James Gaines) an "allegorical and cosmic nature." Gaines's Evening in the Palace of Reason: Bach Meets Frederick the Great in the Age of Enlightenment vividly presents an account of how these convictions about music (and more generally about beauty and Creation itself) were repudiated in accordance with the same principles that would eventually deny the objective nature of truth and goodness. The New Subjectivism Long before Kant argued "that order was a quality of mind rather than the universe," progressive thinkers interested in music were, reports Gaines, renouncing the claims that music was "a manifestation of the divine. To this generation, music was not to be written according to any higher theory or objective than that of sensual, aural pleasure." He quotes composer and music theorist Johann Mattheson (1681–1764) who summarized the effects of the new subjectivism: "Rules are valid as long as I consider it well and sensible to abide by them. They are valid no longer than that. . . . The rule of nature, in music, is nothing but the ear." And not principally the ear of the composer, but of the consumers: As the subtitle to Gaines's book suggests, the looming and heroic figure in Gaines's story is Johann Sebastian Bach, whose greatest works were composed toward the end of his life, when popular opinion about the nature of music was least congenial to the convictions he was exemplifying. The "evening" in the title occurred in 1747, when the dashing young king of Prussia, Frederick the Great, invited "old Bach" to dine with him and entertain his court. Frederick was an accomplished amateur musician and an enthusiastic devotee of Enlightenment ideas. "Frederick represented all that was new and fashionable," writes Gaines, A Musical & Moral Rebuke Given the cast of characters and the world-historical tension they represented, the encounter between the two men was bound to be explosive. It turned out to be remarkably creative as well, at least on Bach's part. Surrounded by many chic young musicians and apparently eager to make the evening entertaining, "Frederick gave Bach an impossibly long and complex musical figure and asked the old master to make a three-part fugue of it." To improvise a three-part fugue. On a theme fiendishly constructed to be resistant to counterpoint. On the spot. Old Bach succeeded with breathtaking eloquence. "When Bach had finished the three-part fugue, while his audience of virtuosi was still 'seized with astonishment,' Frederick asked Bach if he could go himself one better, this time making the theme into a fugue for six voices." At this point, Bach asked for some time to meet the challenge. Weeks later, he sent to the king the result, which we know as the Musical Offering, a miraculous achievement that contains a musical and moral rebuke to the arrogant Frederick. Gaines's account of Bach's triumphant masterpiece is inspiring. Gaines's book stretches out before and after this single evening to present a dual biography of two dynamic figures who represent two ages of Western culture. Bach is presented as a loyal and creative (if somewhat ornery) citizen of the City of God, while Frederick—whose life was both grand and pathetic—clearly built his palace in the City of Man. As I read the book, I kept asking myself why it is that so many Christians are more sympathetic to Frederick's self-centered understanding of music than to old Bach. The musical menu is meager in Reason's palace. —Readers may also be interested in Timothy A.

TV Trends in Ruso
Looking at national trends helps us get a picture of cable TV in Ruso, ND. In America, 33% of homes have four or more TVs, and even though about half the population streams some TV content, 97% of U.S. residents still primarily watch broadcast TV. More than 72% of Americans combine their cable TV service with a broadband Internet connection into a bundle. So what, right? Well, of your fellow 5 Ruso residents, there's:
- 2 with a TV for every finger on their right hand (thumbs don't count)
- 2 who take the term 'television' show lightly (and stream instead)
- 5 who do just fine with a traditional TV, thank you
- 4 smart folks, a.k.a the cable bundlers
- 4 lucky enough to have free evenings to watch live television.

...or for any other CBA gurus: In the event a team franchises a guy, can the team trade the right to negotiate with that player (after franchising,) to another team? If a player is a UFA, of course you can't trade him, because you don't have him. But if he is your franchise guy, you have him... so, can you trade him? There seems to be some confusion on this on the board. Also is it really the case that if you tag the player and trade him, that you lose the right to use the franchise tag for the length of the new contract? I read something to that effect, although it makes no sense to me, unless of course it's a measure built in to dissuade teams from using the franchise tag this way. Inquiring minds want to know, PFnV
The way I understand it is that a URFA, if franchised the player can then be traded. As far as the franchising restriction I believe it will only apply to the team that the player signs a contract with. Then it is for the life of the contract. However there is a time slot for that franchised designation to last the entire contract. Sometime in the summer there is a date that is the end of that stipulation. If a franchised player sings before of after that slot the franchise tag does not go forward. The Pat's did this with Viniteari on the last contract he signed with them. I could be wrong but that is the way I understand it.
From what I know from the CBA, no. Section 8 http://www.nflpa.org/cba/cba_pdf/Article_XX_Franchise_and_Transition_Players.pdf "Section 8. No Assignment: No Club may assign or otherwise transfer to any other Club the exclusive negotiating rights or any Right of First Refusal it may have for any Franchise Player, nor any Right of First Refusal it may have for any Transition Player, nor any designation rights it may have" But what typically happens is that the players signs the franchise tender and then is traded the same day. See the Jets and John Abraham last year. Please note that the trade took place AFTER the CBA was extended so there is precedent for a sign and trade under the current CBA rules. That was not true in the past and I see nothing in the aforementioned PDF that would support it being true today.
If the player signs, he loses all rights, expect for sitting out on a signed contract. The team can trade him anywhere, and even cut him later with little compensation. A team can secure from the patriots the permission to negotiate with a franchised player for ZERO compensation. When a deal accceptable to all THREE parties, then the player will sign and the plyer will be traded to a team he has chosen to negotiate with. In essense, the patriots have received a draft choice or other compensation for removing the tag. In now way can the patriots franchise player and expect compensation if the player does not cooperate and give the patriots that right. In the end, the player has the same right as before, refuse to sign and to sit out. In this case, the player has refused an offer from his existing team. Other teams can decide how much to offer the patriots as compensation for a player not under contract, that a patriots have the right to keep out of the NFL for a year, giving up any compensation pick. After the patriots could simply allow the player to go, and probably receive a 3rd (for a player good enough to franchise). PATRIOT CHOICES 1) Sign a deal with the player at higher than they think reasonable. 2) Do nothing and receive a 3rd round draft choice, avoiding all the press and diversion. 3) Franchise the player and give the player the right to designate teams that the patriots will give permission to negotiate, accept the diversion for a periood of time, and hope for more than a 3rd. 4) Franchise the player with the idea of accepting the player sit out and losing the comp pick. 5) Tranistion the player.
MG and Miguel, thanks.... so I suppose the Pats can still eke out compensation, that much is known. I'm going to go back over these posts, and read the PDF, before joining the "franchise to trade" prediction game, although it sounds on first blush as if possibilities remain open, but that all such possibilities (as always,) depend on the player being willing to play ball (quite literally.) Thanks, PFnV
No, if the player signs the franchise tender it's guaranteed. Maybe things have changed, but I believe that if this happens the comp pick is just delayed, for when the player later leaves as an unrestricted free agent.
You can trade a Franchised player. Under the old CBA and, as John Abraham proved, under the new one. It's not worth getting caught up in the minutia of when all the signings officially take place. Does the sign the offer then get traded, whatever. Who cares. Pioli's a big boy he can do that. All the matters is the Jets got a low #1 for Abraham as a Franchised UFA last year under the new CBA. End of story.

4.5 top game. but maybe just the once tazzys | 24/10/2013 | See all tazzys's reviews (59) i enjoy the killzone series, ive played 2 and 3, and found them a nice FPS and i love the duck and cover aspect. The graphics are top draw and the stories arent too bad if not just a little too american!The game in 3D is awesome and takes it to an all new level.Plus the game isnt too easy and a challenge even on a low level.I just cant give this game 5 stars due to the multiplayer not gripping me and the campaign although good, not one i want to put on over and over again.
4.5 OUTSTANDING supReme75 | 12/09/2011 | See all supReme75's reviews (4) Brilliant game, campaign and multiplayer is fantastic! Just takes too long to join in an online game lol
4.5 Cracking Shooter! Stevo35 | 07/09/2011 | See all Stevo35's reviews (74) Really enjoyed this game & thought it was an improvement on KZ2.I'm quite picky about graphics & found this game to be top quality in this area, some stunning scenes & fantastic art work & designs.Story line was good and game play was smooth.Weapons & cover system both a big improvement.Online took some getting used to as at first other players have upgraded & have so many more perks you just cannot move to begin with.The infiltrator perk where opposing players adopt your teams ID is very annoying & a bit pointless.After a few hours online & several upgrades things improved but it does get a little repetitive as there are not enough maps.At the reduced price though well worth the purchase.
4.5 good. 19steve82 | 12/08/2011 | See all 19steve82's reviews (54) a very good game with some really nice graphics and sound. killzone 3 carries on literally straight after the second one ends and you take control of the same character in this installment. to cut a long story short its action packed throughout but i must be honest and say that i preferred the second one. this one has a big element of cheese about it with a quite corny storyline! also the ending to this game is a massive anti climax and was expecting better, but still gets 4 stars as overall and not comparing it to the second one this was a good game.
4.5 Visuals alone are worth 5 stars Johnboy84 | 31/07/2011 | See all Johnboy84's reviews (35) Firstly, Killzone takes the ps3 to it's full potential with what i'd say is the best looking console game to date. At times on multiplayer i just stop to admire the background scenary only to be by one of the brutal melees.The campaign seems a little short to others but after looking at how much they have packed this game with, it couldnt be possible to put alot (if any) more in. To me the campaign is a good length which kept me entertained throughout.The mutiplayer is one of those that takes a while to get used to for those Call of Duty fans as your character moves like he's actually loaded up with the armour and weapons he's carrying. Once you get past the slightly sluggish feel to it, you'll learn to love it with the different classes all very unique and make you want to use them all throughout a match. Theres plenty of maps with some more available on DLC but most players tend to vote for the more popular ones inbetween matches, so it dosnt always seem like a great variety after a while. What it lacks in perks and weapon attachments it makes up for in general quality, giving it a well balanced and fun multiplayer to spend hours on end playing.This is the best Killzone yet and something the ps3 should be proud of exceptional effort gone into the visuals with a very good multiplayer (if given the chance).
4.5 Very Good, looking and interactive game Gackas | 04/07/2011 | See all Gackas's reviews (2) It`s very nice game. The feel of every gin is different, unique and good. Unlike other reviews i think the campaign story is good.The only think why i gave this game a four is because of Voice acting since it gets laggy every now and then.
4.5 Helghast unite leegend3004 | 27/06/2011 | See all leegend3004's reviews (165) Wow i think when most ps3 owners who bought this say it is stunning to look at they definately know what they are talking about. This is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best looking games i have seen on ps3 so far. Every scene just seems epic in single player as is multiplayer too for that matter. My only gripe with the game so far has been that on my ps3 i have had a few issue's with the cut scene's and sound sometimes been out of sync. But everything else in the game is to perfection. Definately a worthy addition to the killzone saga.

4.5 Single player Good but Multiplayer Fantastic!!!! ToeSweet | 27/06/2011 | See all ToeSweet's reviews (5) I enjoyed the single player and took my time to go through it fully. Only over the last 1 month or so started now playing the multiplayer and must say it's the best FPS I've played. Really enjoyable and not as frustrating as some. Highly recommended!!
4.5 Best FPS shooter on PS3 Awayze | 05/06/2011 | See all Awayze's reviews (18) I can't believe that this game has no advertising whatsoever as its definetly one of the best PS3 games of 2011.Graphics are awesome and they're full 720p, not upscaled.3D is pretty good as well but it doesn't stand out as much as I'd hoped, I'd have hoped that bullets from enemies would look as though they're coming at you but no, you only get the 3D effect on large objects.I also played it with Move and it is extremely difficult as you have to keep the Move controller super still and seeing as its soo sensitive, even a 1mm move of the Move controller will map the move in the game so crosshairs won't be on enemy anymore.So I gave up with Move as it was too difficult and 3D was tiring my eyes and I went back to the pad and normal HD setting.Storyline continues on KZ2 I presume and as I never got round to finishing KZ2 because of its dodgy controls, I didn't know where KZ3 was continuing from.That leads me to another point, control mechanism has greatly improved, its somewhere in between KZ2 and COD so its perfect and realistic.Storyline was pretty interesting to be honest but characters voice acting wasn't as good as I'd hoped, I've heard better.Out of 10 ratings:-Graphics - 8.5 (only full 1080p games will get 10)Gameplay/Story- 9.5Voice acting - 7.5Multiplayer- 9.5Another thing I noticed it that this game has no install onto the HDD apart from the 6MB for save data and it has NO LOADING times. Yes, no loading times, I not once so a loading icon in the game.If KZ3 can achieve 720p graphics, 3D, no install to HDD and no loading times then there's no excuse for other games(I'm looking at you Uncharted) to have a loading time.A must for a PS3 owner and FPS fans.

The value of credit risk management
How building risk capabilities can improve revenue and profitability
Today, too many banks feel the need to substantially improve insight into the risks across their business. Why? Because they rely on disparate processes and systems. Without comprehensive data and process integration, risks and potential mitigating circumstances go unrecognized.
A new executive brief from the IBM Center for Applied Insights reveals a set of risk management competencies that financial firms can build in order to improve decision-making and enhance risk appetite management and business performance. The brief also demonstrates a model that quantifies the economic impact of smarter risk management.
Start with data reliability. With a data platform in place, firms can integrate data into a single, aggregated view for managing risk and performance. Bankers who have invested in data integration tell us that this turns risk control into competitive advantage―and profitability.
Equally important is the integration of business process. Too many financial services firms say their governance, risk and compliance processes are still not integrated across their enterprise. Our findings show that firms realize significant financial benefits by reengineering business processes and governance to effectively apply intelligence to enhance credit risk performance.
Smarter credit risk management: a competency map
Fully realized smarter risk management is based on a robust common data platform, coupled with extended, complementary capabilities that multiply the value of information and insight. It's a journey of increasing sophistication and maturity over time.
Smarter credit risk management is all about harnessing data and continually feeding management information systems with forward-looking views of the business. It delivers value through allocating capital and resources more effectively to reflect an integrated and dynamic balance of risk.
Smarter risk with strategic investments
In the executive brief , The value of smarter credit risk management: Beyond compliance—An opportunity to improve revenues and profitability with smarter banking, you'll learn how investing in technologies to instrument, interconnect and extract intelligence from data will return significant economic benefits. Those benefits include:
- Net interest income improvement
- Reduced cost of funds
- Employee productivity
- Excess economic capital
Using an illustrative organization, we demonstrate a model that quantifies the economic impact of smarter credit risk management. For example, we found that for an illustrative bank investments in smarter risk management would yield annual benefits of $483 million translating into a profit increase of 14%. Using our model, we can demonstrate the benefit to your company based on your own data.
Bankers are being pressured to transform in order to thrive in these uncertain times. An important part of this transformation is to align and enhance compatibility between risk appetite and business and financial performance―what we have termed Smarter Risk Management. And it makes good business sense too.

Nationals prospect Alex Meyer will pitch in the Futures Game during the MLB all-star break in July, the annual showcase for the league's top prospects . The Nationals took Meyer, a 6-foot-9, flame-throwing right-hander, with the 23rd overall pick in 2011 out of Kentucky.
At Class A Hagerstown, in his first professional season, Meyer has gone 6-3 with a 3.33 ERA over 70 1/3 innings in 14 starts. He has 77 strikeouts and 28 walks. In his last six starts, Meyer has a 1.69 ERA while striking out 33 batters in 32 innings. Meyer's fastball can touch 100 miles per hour, which can be overwhelming in concert with his height.
Last year, Bryce Harper and Brad Peacock, whom the Nationals later traded to the Oakland A's as part of the package for Gio Gonzalez, played in the Futures Game. In 2010 and 2009, Danny Espinosa appeared in the game.

Saturday Residency!
Isle of Rhodes, Chris Cubeta & The Liars Club, Bells and Hunters, Beat Radio
Spike Hill
186 Bedford Ave
Brooklyn, NY, 11211
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Isle of Rhodes
Isle of Rhodes was founded in the spring of 2011 by front man and keyboardist Rob Farren. Farren, who had previously played keys with Aphonic (of Detroit), and synth bass with Kiss or Kill decided that he would like to strip his rig down to one keyboard: a Rhodes. An eclectic choice for an instrument, the Rhodes is a vintage keyboard with similar circuitry to an electric guitar. The Rhodes was made famous by the work of soul and funk artists, such as Stevie Wonder, and Bernie Worrell. Farren, influenced by that sound, focused on creating a contemporary rock version of Rhodes playing. Using all analog gear, including tape delay, distortion, wah, and phaser pedals, Farren has sculpted a sound evocative of a three-piece guitar band. Featuring Colin Behram on drums, this two-piece band, has garnered attention for its flowing melodies and huge sound, drawing comparisons to bands such as The Shins, The Magnetic Fields, and Radiohead.
Isle of Rhodes' first studio length album "All Rivers and Oceans" was recorded with Grammy winning producer Jason Corsaro (Steve Winwood, Duran Duran, Motorhead, Madonna) and co-producer David Lloyd of Social Hero. Machine Dream Records will release the album in April of 2012. "All Rivers and Oceans" is not a just a collection of songs but a true body of work. Farren set out to use the recording studio as an instrument in its own right. According to Farren the band "didn't want to limit [itself] to just replicate the live show, but to fully produce a piece of art." To that end, in addition to his Rhodes, Farren used Piano, and Hammond B3 organ. Farren also brought in strings, and auxiliary percussionist Gerardo Velez (Jimi Hendrix). Farren's extraordinary vocal performances are found throughout the record, punctuating each song with his versatile approach. Some songs remind the listener of Freddie Mercury, while others of John Lennon, and David Bowie. The creative arrangement of the backups vocals, performed by Ian Lloyd (Stories, Foreigner), David Lloyd, and Farren himself, serve only to enhance these amazing performances. This combined with Farren's moving, and smart lyrics take the listener on a journey through the human soul. The unique combination of all these amazing elements creates an incredible album in "All Rivers and Oceans."
Chris Cubeta and The Liars Club is a brash, Americana rock band from Brooklyn led by compelling and charismatic frontman Chris Cubeta. Cubeta is a relentless songwriter whose lyrics combine nuance-soaked imagery with incisive observations. The band's sound is equally eclectic, combining the wispy, sensitivity of the singer/songwriter with the unbridled thrill of rock and roll.
"This Brooklyn singer/songwriter, packs soul, punch and feeling mixed with chords so catchy and words so true that you can't help but fall under his power." – Dan Berkman, The Deli Magazine
Bells and Hunters
Formed in 2008 by Kelly Ann Beavers and Keith Fischer over a mutual love of creativity, song writing, and Jeff Buckley. Bells and Hunters has written dozens of songs and their eclectic sound contains elements of acoustic folk, garage rock, and spacey spookiness behind Kelly's soulful vocals. The band released their second album "Weddings and Funerals" on March 12, 2013.
Beat Radio
The story of Beat Radio's Golden Age LP goes back to late 2008, when frontman/songwriter Brian Sendrowitz suddenly found himself without a band.
Beat Radio had gotten off to a good start a couple of years prior with their debut album, The Great Big Sea. The narrative is somewhat mythical but not unfamiliar. Lo-fi anthems are written in a flash of inspiration; quickly posted on the band's website and grab the attention of several influential music blogs. The excitement of glowing reviews and label interest fades as the band weathers lineup changes and the music industry seems to be caving in on itself. It all seemed to be over before it even began.

I Can No Longer Hear the Guitar (J'entends Plus La Guitare) (1991)
Movie Info
As a young man, Gerard was in a relationship with Marianne, a woman he called the love of his life, someone he would love even beyond the veils of death. However, somehow he drifted out of his relationship with her, though they were occasionally in touch with one another. Many relationships later, he is now married and has children by a wonderfully solid and nurturing woman (whom he is not faithful to). When he hears of the death of his first love, it causes him to reevaluate his relationships, … More

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)
Leaping effortlessly, audaciously ahead in time, the fractured form embodies Garrel's themes: the speed of life passing, the inescapable burden of memory.
Raw, rueful, and piercingly alert, a film of tremendous formal instinct and cogent human truth, J'entends is an oblique memoir of the filmmaker's relationship to Nico (Steege) -- and a testament to the elusive genius of a postwar French master.
Garrel's nakedly personal disappointment bleeds into an unsentimental elegy for an elegantly wasted generation. Instead of shallow self-pity, he gives us a melancholy deep enough to drown in.
Moments of raw intimacy like this make it particularly painful to watch as the film lurches/slouches to its inevitably tragic conclusion.
a dark and devastating romance
Garrel buffs, of which there are many, won't want to miss this one. Other viewers should decide based on their tolerance for talky, contemplative but rewarding cinema.
Like the ghostly music its title evokes, this film's meanings are both elusive and haunting.
A film that purposefully avoids plot and character conventions, that will transport some viewers into a reverie and drive others to boredom and befuddlement.
Both a tribute and a pitiless autopsy of a couple's self-destructive tango.

MoreSuper Reviewer
"I Can No Longer Hear the Guitar" is a dreary movie about the on-again, off-again relationship between Gerard(Benoit Regent) and Marianne(Johanna ter Steege) that is off when she becomes jealous over Lola(Mireille Perrier), the girlfriend of his friend Martin(Yann Collette). The movie succeeds very well at making the viewer as miserable as the characters while making it impossible to get any grasp on who they really are without any context. The jump cutting certainly does not help. Details about Marianne come and go. For example, it is established at one point that she is a single mother and then it is never brought up again. Later, heroin is entered into the volatile mix with a more lasting effect.

I bought the entire series of Full Metal Panic! and my sister bought Wolf's Rain and we have a few anime movies (mostly by Studio Ghibli) and I have a few AzuManga Daioh. I want to get the DNAngel series too, but one thing at a time.
I heard a nasty rumour that a good percentage of anime fans SIMPLY DOWNLOAD and rather than BUYING anime...
If you do buy anime, how much do you buy and give examples of what you buy.

~Evil King~
I have the first stage of Initial D. My friend has Dragonball thru Dragonball GT and all the movies put out in between and since. I just bought Yu Yu Hakusho along with 4 other anime movies online yesterday. I prefer to buy.
I don't know anybody that downloads anime as opposed to buying it.
The Last Remaining Realist.
See Dick Buy Beer, See Dick not Tip, See Dick try again, See Dick Go thirsty. Moral of the Story: Don't be a Dick.
I do purchase anime. I've bought the entire Cowboy Bebop sessions, several anime films, Wolf's Rain (All of them YAY), and currently I am seeknig the complete Trigun series as well as DNAngel.
Unfortunately, prices and availability lead to downloading. There is so much that I want, but I don't have $50 for a DVD with two episodes on it. (I have rent to pay, car insurance to pay, etc...) I admit that in the past I did download, until I was able to start buying things... And I still don't have the money for it! Of course, I am saving up for an upcoming convention in my area - Oh yeah I'm spending AT LEAST $300
a lot otakus have only a couple ways of obtaining anime:
- borrowing from friends
- downloading from the Internet
- begging parents to buy it for them
me, I download anime & manga sometimes
but I'm saving up to buy anime collections
I'm planning of getting FLCL, Hellsing, and Wolf's Rain
I'm Filipino so I got cousins back in the Philippines that have access to a lot of pirated VCDs of anime
there are occasionally some legit shops in Manila that sell official English-subbed anime DVD collections straight from Japan
(only around 3000 pesos = $60 compared to the $100+ ones here in the states)
my cousin got me all the Cowboy Bebop episodes... on VCDs
low quality (two of the VCDs don't work, one of them had Full Metal Panic! on it, and the picture is a little messed up) but it ain't that bad

I love my girlfriend.
well i have a couple of dvds....all of the fruits basket and inuyasha movie 2 and getting 3. but for manga i ahve all of fruits basket, alichino, dearS, forbidden dance, invu, hellsing, and alot other series. . .
Don't let me be.
I don't buy anime that often because I barely have time to watch it. But I bought the entire series of Berserk last week. I really don't like to download because it cheapens the quality of the anime. Good anime deserves to be seen at its best.
heh heh heh
I've got the Samurai Deeper Kyo manga volumes 1 thru 11
and I'm trying to finish it, but I've been saving my money for DVD collections...
downloading anime is just the most convenient thing to do
(can waiting two or so hours to download something be labeled "convenient"?)
the same thing for downloading music
it's not honest, but it makes things a little easier
for people with a tight budget and teenagers without a job (like me )
oh, and...
a lot of otakus don't actually download anime, but just have friends who download anime and burn them on a DVD for them
one of my friends is getting a burnt copy of all the Japanese Naruto episodes from one of his friends

Review Price free/subscription
I've spent a lot of time recently playing with expensive digital SLRs and high-end luxury compacts, so today I thought I'd take a look at the other end of the market, with a budget camera costing under £90. The Casio Exilim EX-Z33 is a new 10.1-megapixel ultra-compact with a 3x zoom lens and a 2.5-inch 230k LCD monitor. It has a pretty basic spec with minimal features, but if you're on a tight budget (and aren't we all these days?) it's enough for basic snapshots.
Most of the big manufacturers produce cameras in a range of prices and differing levels of sophistication and quality, which means that one model has to be the bottom of the range, and the Z33 is at the bottom of Casio's. Casio is one of the longest-established digital camera makers, launching its first model in 1996, and currently makes some excellent ultra-compact cameras, such as the EX-S12 and the EX-H10, as well as some advanced high-speed cameras, including the EX-F1 and EX-FH20 super-zoom models, and the EX-FC100 advanced ultra-compact. The EX-Z33 is may be at the other end of the scale from these cameras, but it still shares one or two features with its more high-tech siblings.
Casio has not tried to make the Z33 look like something it's not. The body design is as basic as the specification, a plain plastic case with an aluminium fascia and very simple controls. It's a very light camera weighing just 122g including battery and memory card, and measuring only 94.1 x 56.1 x 18.1mm it's slim enough to slip into a shirt pocket. Although it lacks any frills the build quality is good and the camera feels surprisingly solid considering its weight. The Z33 is available in a range of colours including silver, black, blue and two shades of pink.

...by the end of the week. Now it's just his opinion but he was keyed in on when the Seymour stuff was going to get done last year (I think he had it a week off). He just spent the last 2 weeks on vacation writing his Bruschi book and I was hoping he'd drop a hint about Tedy's injury. The only mention he made about Bruschi was that it was a joy getting up at 5:00am to talk to him. Hopefully he's right about Branch and let's something slip about Tedy.
Yeah right. I'll believe it when I see it. Sorry for being so skeptical PatsRI. Thanks for posting the info though. When it comes to the Boston media...I can't help but have my doubts.
A "deal" will get done and sooner rather than later with the season approaching. Him sitting out helps neither side. Now, the question is what does he mean by "deal". Does he mean Kraft slips him an extra $500K to make it "fair" that he plays for a mere $1.5M this year. Or does he mean a legit contract extension. That's the question, I have no doubt the little twerp (falling back to my English heritage) will play and look like he never missed a beat.
They could give him an extra 500k just by wiaving the fines he has built up. Waiving the fines and getting back to negotiating as soon as he comes back to camp does have a certain face saving capabilty for both sides.
Most of the boston media have no clue the majority of the time. However Holley seems to be right on the money when he does speak out. He doesn't give these "predictions" a lot, but he's got a pretty good track record here. My guess is he doesn't usually open his mouth unless he's got a really good source---let's hope he's right
I agree while most blow smoke, Holley usually gets some pretty good scoops and is more reliable than most. He usually does not put his neck out, unless he has reliable information.
I wasn't listening this AM so I don't know the context but it may be the simply they need him rationale coupled with rumors he is in the area led Michael to put two and two together. I think he's in the area so the QB won't have to fly out to work with him. I hope the QB doesn't wear out his shoulder trying to keep Deion up to speed. It's probably time to tell him if he wants to catch any more passes from Tommy he best get his ass back to Gillette. I don't think they can afford to do a deal with him until months after he returns of his own volition for business reasons, much as they may need him for football reasons. Not to say they couldn't leave the door open to ink the deal they already offered, and reportedly pulled off the table once the request to waive the franchise tag for 2007 was Chayut's counter. Just can't see them negotiating with him any further as a result of a holdout. And I don't see how they can slip him any more money (because unlike Seymour his deal is in it's final year) or that that would get it done in this case. He stood to pocket $4M several weeks ago had he taken the 3/$19M offer. I do think he will be back if not this week then next because I think he will blink before BB and Pioli do. I think that is what happened with Seymour too - I think after the first few days of camp he started to get concerned that this holdout business could get to be a problem for him as well as the team and was willing to come in for basically a lick and a promise. Lke BB says taking away their money is one thing, taking away their stage is another.

Wine Cellars and Light
One of the valid concerns oenophiles have is that wine exposed to light will become "light-struck", developing a unpleasant papery taste. This risk is reduced by using lighting with little or no ultraviolet or infrared in the wine cellar. Lighting in the cellar is fine if you keep it subdued and use it infrequently. That said, we love the look of a cellar that's properly lit!
Backlit bottles and play of light on the walls
The client can choose to either light the archway or the glass magnum display area cut into the granite counter. Both Xenon lights can be dimmed and display the wine beautifully.
Light enough to read the labels, but dim enough to protect the wine. Light is provided by a grazing uplight and an intimate shelf light.
This wine cellar is located in the games room, behind glass. The cellar itself is kept minimally lit; the Xenon light above the painting is on a dimmer. The subdued light from the neighbouring games room is enough to allow the homeowner to read the labels on the wine.
A glass floor looking over a 2000 bottle acrylic wine cellar and it's LED lighting. This required the wiring to be hidden and surfaces to be finished on all sides. There is a screen that retracts to cover the ceiling when the entertaining is over, thus protecting the wine from too much light.
The restaurant lighting is very subtle and intimate, yet showcases the wine beautifully.

Please explain your responses.
1.Suppose a citizen proposal argues that carcinogens cause cancer and therefore any project that shuts down carcinogen producing activities will save lives, which are "infinitely valuable" therefore, their project should be undertaken. Also they point out it will raise quality of life associated with the local area so local property values will rise by about $10 million and thus increase tax revenues.
2. Which of the following would you classify as a public
good or private good? Briefly, why?
Public restaurant
Local law enforcement services
Cable TV
Community swimming pool
National weather service predictions on the Internet
Fireworks Show
3. Recently Tartaric Manufacturing Corp. was sue and agreed to pay $1.3 million as punishment for polluting the San Joaquin River and China Island Wildlife Area. Was it necessary or desirable for the government (in this case the DA) to be involved in this issue? (Hint: please relate this issue to the Coase Theorem.) How else could public policy be used to reduce the level of pollution? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of alternative approaches?
4. In Modesto a general sales tax is used to fund the public library. Assuming food is exempt, what efficiency and equity issues would you want to consider in evaluating this funding source?

Editors' Note: The "Download Now" link directs you to the Android Market where you must continue the download process. This download may not be available in some countries.
Editors' Review
+Photo Squarer effectively adds borders to your photos, but it doesn't do much else. There are no real editing features and the borders aren't nearly customizable enough. There are already great photo editors on Android that do everything this app can do and so much more, which makes this app hard to recommend.
Photo Squarer adds narrow borders on any side of your photo to turn the picture into a perfect square. The app won't resize the actual content of the photo into a square, though. It won't let you add any designs or other goodies to the borders; you can just change the color. You aren't able to edit the photo in addition to adding the border, either. There's no way to crop, filter, or resize the photo from inside of Photo Squarer, which drastically reduces its usefulness. You can only save it or share from inside of the app. What's nice about it is that it makes photos compatible with Instagram.
There's not much going for this app just because there isn't very much this app can do. If you really need your pictures to be perfect squares, this is an easy way to do it. However, don't expect to get much else out of Photo Squarer.

Radio Ramblers – Hymns From The Hills
Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers have released one of the finest bluegrass Gospel records of the past few years. No surprise there, as Mullins has a long history of producing such, and is himself one of the finest tenor singers in the business.
He has also assembled a first-rate band, and brought in such stellar guests on Hymns From The Hills as Doyle Lawson, Paul Williams, Larry Sparks and Rhonda Vincent.
Mullins plays banjo along with Mike Terry on mandolin, Adam McIntosh on guitar, Evan McGregor on fiddle and Tim Kidd on bass. Joe, Mike and Adam handle the vocals.
It's always a treat to hear a new track with Doyle or Sparks, but to my ear, the most satisfying songs on the album are the ones from Joe and the Ramblers on their own. Two in particular stand out.
Fair Weather is a new song written by Mike Ramsey of Brand New Strings which is partly taken directly from the text of Job Chapter 37.
Another favorite is this quartet arrangement of O The Love Of My Redeemer, with Dale Perry singing bass.
Joe and the boys also turn in fine performances on the Grandapa Jones classic, Fallen Leaves, and a super new Tim Stafford/Jon Weisberger song, Be Jesus To Someone Today.
But what about Sparks? He joins the Ramblers for a couple of tracks, including this prototypical example of why we love Larry so.
Hymns From The Hills is a fabulous album, worth the immediate attention of anyone who loves tight, heartfelt Gospel singing. Mighty good stuff.

FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner of Education
DATE: July 8, 2005
RE: Fingerprinting Schedules to Resume
On July 1, 2005 a message was posted on the Department of Education fingerprint registration website announcing the temporary postponement of fingerprint registration due to a lack of funding. Individuals who were already registered to be fingerprinted as of July 1, 2005 have received letters concerning this postponement from the Department of Public Safety.
I am pleased to announce that we have resolved the funding issue and fingerprint registration will resume shortly. The next fingerprint details will take place in Winslow on July 23 and in Machias on July 30, as originally scheduled. The fingerprint website will contain all of the date and site information for future fingerprint details.
Those individuals who were originally scheduled to be fingerprinted at the July 9 details in Westbrook and Orono and the July 16 detail in Presque Isle will need to re-register on the website, which can be accessed at : http://www.informe.org/cgi-bin/doe/fingerprint.pl We anticipate that the fingerprinting details scheduled for July and August will be sufficient to accommodate all individuals who need to complete the process prior to the start of the 2005-06 school year.
If you have any questions, please contact the Certification Division at 624-6603.

Writing Center Philosophy
Writing Center
Writing seems to be a solitary endeavor, but it is, in reality, a social act in which you not only learn, but you also become part of a larger community. At the Naval War College, when you explore ideas and advocate positions in writing and during seminar or informal discussions, you are joining an ongoing academic conversation. The purpose of the Writing Center is to provide you the resources and support necessary to help you to become a more competent writer—regardless of your level of ability—and a more confident participant in the conversation.
Writing can be an extremely frustrating, and even confounding, process. Being a writer is like being a musician or an athlete: you don't suddenly know how to be the best, but with hard work and commitment, you can become a better—if not accomplished—athlete or musician. Even then, you would practice and continue working with coaches and teachers. The same is true for writing. In the Writing Center, we can help you evolve as a writer by working with you to clarify your focus for a paper (either for a course or a piece you are interested in submitting for publication), refine a thesis statement, identify and organize your argument(s), understand how to integrate evidence into your paper, develop revision strategies, and find your unique writing "voice." We can also discuss strategies for overcoming writer's block, for breaking the counter-productive cycle of procrastination, and reading more effectively and efficiently. And sometimes, we will simply listen as a way of helping you move forward with your writing project.
In the Writing Center, we work with students in one-on-one conferences and small group workshops. There are also other resources available such as handouts addressing grammatical issues and the various parts of the writing process, writing text recommendations, and links to other excellent online writing sites. However, the most essential ingredient for your success as a writer is
Writing effectively is a process, so having patience and being willing to give the time necessary to evolve as a writer are essential. Even though you are quite busy in your program at the NWC, the research, reading, thinking, and writing you will do are inextricably linked, and to excel, all parts of the process demand time and thought.
There are some things we do not do in the Writing Center:
We do not edit or proofread papers;
We will not read complete rough drafts and give feedback via email for either course papers or those written with publication in mind. We'll be happy to do so, however, if you make an appointment to work with us one-on-one;
We will never comment on the quality of a paper either before or after it has been evaluated by your instructor. We are here to support you in your development as a writer, but your instructors' feedback and comments are always primary.
To make an appointment, feel free to stop by the Writing Center located in H-210 or send an email to Dr. Donna Connolly at
We also welcome suggestions for workshops, handouts, and other resources, so please do not hesitate to contact us with your ideas.

Discover Author
Jennifer L. Armentrout (aka J. Lynn) is the #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me. Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories . . . which explains her dismal grades in math. When she's not hard at work writing, she spends her time reading, watching really bad zombie movies, and hanging out with her husband and her Jack Russell terrier, Loki, at home in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Not only will I buy for our group next year...I will buy extras as well! Thank you for helping make our trip even more memorable!
