The Palladium Ballroom is a small venue. No matter where you are, you are close. The amps and the band are in your face at all times! Since the venue was small, I was hoping for a more stripped down Manson show. I was hoping he'd leave all the props and girls at home and just play some music! To my surprise, I got just that…
Marilyn Manson has been at the epicenter of the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal world for 18 years. He's known for eclectic costumes and harsh lyrics. With the help of Trent Reznor, lead singer and mastermind of Nine Inch Nails, Manson got his start. Reznor produced Manson's 1994 debut, Portrait of an American Family.
The band has gone through several lineup changes throughout the years. The current band consists of Manson, guitarist Twiggy Ramirez (who was the Bass player from 1993-2002; then rejoining the band in 2008 as guitarist for their live shows), bassist Fred Sablan, and drummer Jason Sutter.
Back to the show…Manson left most of his props at home, with the exception of a smoke gun, a helmet, and a large flashlight. During the performance of Antichrist Superstar, Manson, acting like a rag doll atop a tall podium, knocked over prop microphones. This was the extent of the prop show. The remainder of the concert was Manson, the band, and pure rock.
The set list for the concert was well balanced. He played five songs from his latest release, Born Villain, premiering, Murderers Are Getting Prettier Every Day, live for the first time. No songs were performed from their first album, or from the two lead up albums to Born Villain.
Material from the well known Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, Holy Wood, and Golden Age of Grotesque albums were the centerpiece of the show. Two covers were included in the set list, Personal Jesus and Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
All but 1 song was performed flawlessly. The hit, Beautiful People, started without a hit from drummer, Jason Sutter. Manson was ready to go after announcing the song, but a short delay threw of his rhythm. So much so, that the vocals on the first verse came in a bit late. The hiccups continued throughout the song. No matter, as I, nor the audience cared much. We continued to sing loud and rock out with the rock icon.
Did I mention that the Palladium was a small venue? I was there for stripped down, no frills Marilyn Manson show at that's what I got. Thanks for leaving the props at home, wherever that may be…
Setlist: Hey, Cruel World…, Disposable Teens, The Love Song, No Reflection, mOBSCENE, The Dope Show, Sl-Mo-Tion, Rock is Dead, Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode cover), Pistol Whipped, Murderers Are Getting Prettier Every Day, Tourniquet, Irresponsible Hate Anthem, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), Antichrist Superstar, The Beautiful People

Cyprus in limbo after rejecting bank seizures plan
Wednesday - 3/20/2013, 3:36am EDT
Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Lawmakers in Cyprus decisively rejected a plan on Tuesday to seize up to 10 percent of people's bank deposits in order to secure an international bailout and prevent a collapse of the country's banks.
The vote leaves the tiny Mediterranean economy in financial limbo, but hundreds of protesters outside Parliament cheered and sang the national anthem when they heard the bill failed.
Cyprus needs 15.8 billion euros ($20.4 billion) to bail out its heavily indebted banks and shore up government finances. If it doesn't get the money, the banks could fail, Cyprus' government finances could be ruined for years and the country could face expulsion from the 17-country euro currency union. Eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund have pledged to provide 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) in rescue loans if Cyprus can come up with the remainder.
With the country's banks closed since Saturday to avoid a run, Cypriot leaders will now try to hatch a more politically palatable plan that might also satisfy officials in the eurozone and IMF.
The plan that was rejected Tuesday -- with 36 votes against, 19 abstentions and one absence -- had been amended to shield the smallest depositors, those with under 20,000 euros ($25,858) in the bank. But deposits up to 100,000 euros ($129,290) are supposed to be insured by all euro countries. There has been widespread condemnation of the plan throughout Europe since it was announced over the weekend.
Global financial markets were on edge Tuesday, but investors so far have taken the latest turmoil in Europe in stride. The Cypriot economy is tiny and there is hope that Europe's political leaders can find a way to bolster the country's finances and prevent it from leaving the euro. After the Cypriot vote came in, the Dow Jones industrial average ended the day 3 points higher at 14,455. Earlier in the day, European markets closed slightly lower while the euro edged down 0.4 percent against the dollar.
"This is not the end of the process, but instead kicks off a further round of negotiation," said Alex White of JPMorgan. "The Cypriot authorities wanted to conduct the vote so that they could reaffirm the extent of their difficulties to the Europeans."
Part of the reason for the market calm is that the European Central Bank has promised to do whatever it takes to protect the euro. It has a plan in place to buy the government debt of any countries that fall into financial trouble, provided they ask for help. That has helped keep bond market borrowing rates manageable for Italy and Spain, for example.
The ECB said after the Cyprus vote that it would continue providing liquidity to Cypriot banks to prevent their immediate collapse. Some had feared that if Cyprus rejected the bailout, the ECB might stop providing support, letting the banks fail.
Of the 15.8 billion euros ($20.4 billion) that Cyprus needs, roughly 8.3 billion euros ($10.73 billion) is for its two top lenders -- Bank of Cyprus and Laiki Bank, which is effectively controlled by the government already. About 7.5 billion euros ($9.7 billion) would be used to finance the country's deficits over the next 4 years and to cover a 1.5 billion euro ($1.94 billion) debt payment that comes due in June.
Cypriot political leaders will meet with President Nicos Anastasiades on Wednesday to discuss the next steps.
Nicholas Papadopoulos, the chairman of the parliamentary finance committee, said Cyprus wants a renegotiation of its bailout deal but was against the idea of seizing savings. "It has not been (implemented) in any other country in Europe and we don't wish to be the experiment of Europe."
He said a new agreement could be concluded "in the next few days." In the meantime, the banks will remain shut for as long as needed. ATMs have been dispensing cash and debit and credit cards were working normally. The amount of the proposed tax had been blocked in people's accounts, but with the bill rejected, it was unclear whether that would continue. Electronic transfers continued to be blocked.
Germany, one of the eurozone's heavyweights, made clear its frustration at the Cypriot vote. The finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, noted that Cyprus' banks were surviving only because of ECB help and that if there is no bailout deal, the ECB will have to end that support.
"Someone needs to explain this to the Cypriots," Schaeuble told German public television ZDF.
Some help could come from Russia, a longtime ally of Cyprus. But those talks have been strained by the announcement of the deposit seizures, since Russians hold up to a third of the 68 billion euros ($87.92 billion) in deposits in Cyprus.

Your cart is empty!
I use your company a lot even if you dont have 4oz you wont say you are out will take my order then e-mail me 5min. later to say you are out but my money is held up if you pratice the truth in stead of trying to get sales i for one will be more happy with you and not looking for another supplier as i type.the product is siliphen cough syurp 4oz and 8oz i have a order on hold now since01-02-13
Delsym is the only thing that works to stop my 5 year old daughter's cough. My daughter has post nasal drip from allergies and she can be fine all day, but when she lays down to go to sleep she starts coughing. The cough can get so bad, it forces her to throw up. Delsym is the only thing that stops the cough and lets her sleep all night. It has a bad taste, but she's gotten used to it, and she can sleep all night without coughing. I highly reccomend it!
It works well and I stop coughing when I sleep.
One of the few over the counter medicines for someone like myself who has asthma & lung problems. Great item to always have in your home.

Best Selfie Ever
By Grant Oliphant
I loved Ellen DeGeneres' famous Oscar selfie. But if that was the "best selfie ever," this tribute version--taken at the end of last night's WTAE-TV program/telethon, "Living Like Lou" -- is the coolest. The man and woman behind it, our force-of-nature donors Neil and Suzanne Alexander, are using Neil's struggle with ALS as a platform to combat the disease and help those suffering from it.
What Can I Do?
By Grant Oliphant
President and CEO
I had the pleasure of attending a conference this morning on ending gender-based violence. The featured presenter was Jackson Katz, whose presentations on this subject have become an online sensation. Katz's basic contention is that it is up to men to stop dismissing domestic and other gender-based violence as a "women's issue" and to embrace it for what it is: a man's issue.
Congratulations to Patrick Dowd -- a perfect fit for Allies for Children
By Grant Oliphant
President and CEO
Pittsburgh City Councilman, Patrick Dowd has earned the respect and admiration of our community for getting important things done. Over many years, he has demonstrated his dedication to an ethos of fairness, collaboration and inclusiveness while working tirelessly to help make Pittsburgh a better place for us all.
So I was delighted to learn that Patrick has been chosen to lead a new local nonprofit organization, Allies for Children, that has been formed to take on the critical and challenging issues of child advocacy.
Day of Giving: Minor changes now but possibly more to come
by Grant Oliphant
President and CEO
The Pittsburgh Foundation
When we launched PittsburghGives and the Day of Giving five years ago, none of us envisioned the phenomenon it would become. The program has grown every year since, and all of us involved have been gratified by what our community has accomplished together. The question now is: Where do we go from here?
Let us set high expectations for next mayor
By Grant Oliphant
President and CEO
The Pittsburgh Foundation
There's a somewhat cynical assessment of America's democratic election system that suggests we get the government we deserve. It speaks more to the all-too-frequent bouts of apathy on polling days than it does about the skills, vision and competency or otherwise of our election candidates.
Grant Oliphant's Charitable Deduction Testimony
Grant Oliphant, The Pittsburgh Foundation's President and CEO, submitted the following written testimony calling for the existing charitable tax deduction to be safeguarded. His testimony was presented to a hearing on the Itemized Deduction for Charitable Contributions, House Committee on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives in February, 2013
Congressman Camp, Ranking Member Levin, and other Committee members, thank you for this opportunity to provide written testimony on the deduction for charitable contributions as part of the Committee's work on comprehensive tax reform. Especially, I would like to recognize members Jim Gerlach, Mike Kelly, and Allyson Schwartz, from my home state of Pennsylvania.
For the past five years I have served as President and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation, the 13th largest community foundation in the United States. During this time, we have experienced consistent growth in terms of annual fundraising and currently The Pittsburgh Foundation's assets are approximately $900 million. This growth would not have been possible without the generosity and commitment of our donors and in 2012 alone, our donors gave $12.7 million from their funds at the Foundation to support the vital work of over 1,100 nonprofit organizations throughout the Pittsburgh region. This was in addition to the $44 million in grants provided by The Pittsburgh Foundation to strengthen charitable programs in our local community to improve health care services, safeguard and develop educational opportunities for our children, enhance the arts and cultural activities, and provide human services programs to support the region's most vulnerable citizens as well as addressing key issues concerning the well-being of our environment and economic development.
I highlight this information at the start of my testimony because unlike private or corporate foundations, community foundations serve a unique and significant role in philanthropy, a role that would be endangered, I believe irrevocably, by any reduction or elimination of the charitable tax deduction, which by its very creation was designed to help facilitate community-based charitable giving that is so well represented by The Pittsburgh Foundation.
No cheating on charters: We must be honest about the performance of our schools
To members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly
January 7, 2013
To members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly:
Pennsylvania's community foundations are universally dedicated to improving the quality of life in communities around the Commonwealth. Each year we distribute tens of millions of dollars in grants to organizations addressing a wide range of issues in our state. By administering funds entrusted to us in exactly the way the donor specified, we have an enormous impact on the places where Pennsylvanians live and work.
The Charitable Deduction: Who Really Benefits?
Kevin K. Murphy
President, Berks County Community Foundation
Living inside the Washington beltway must be a profoundly disorienting experience. Maybe there's something in the Potomac River, maybe it's just too much time in the world's most self-absorbed echo chamber, or maybe it's just the pressure of too much traffic. Honestly, I don't know.
One Young Pittsburgh

Day of Giving exceeds hopes and expectations
by Grant Oliphant
President and CEO
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today reported that I consider myself a "lousy prognosticator."
And it's true, I do.
As we approached the Day of Giving event this week, all of us at The Pittsburgh Foundation were energized and excited by the enthusiasm and feverish expectation that was building among donors and nonprofit organizations. But I had my doubts that we would raise much beyond the $6.4 million received in contributions last year.

Print Illusion
An optical illusion, or visual illusion is characterised by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. What does this mean? Basically your eyes see one thing, and your brain 'sees' something else. The information that your eyes feed back to the brain has to be understood by the brain, and the brain is very clever at guessing what it should be seeing and sometimes this difference can be quite astounding.

Hey.....i have a question to ask. How do you pronounce Pepe, "Peep" or "Peepee" . Just a question.
Just out of curiosity, Steve started this string almost one year ago. Did you ever make it to Pepe's and how was it ?

Deceptive advertisements can cost your company a pretty penny
Blog Entry:
July 18, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: SARA RAVAS COOPER
Sara Ravas Cooper, Esq.
Sara Ravas Cooper, Esq.
is an attorney in the Litigation Section of
Walter | Haverfield LLP
in Cleveland.
We have all been the target of spam and questionable advertisements, whether through the mail or by electronic means like email, and have likely paid them little attention. Businesses may believe that this is a norm in today's society and that there is no harm in including an innocuous exaggeration or some little-white lies in their advertisements. However, the cautious business owner should know that serious legal and financial consequences can result from deceptive advertisements and that careful attention should be paid to the various state and federal laws that control the parameters of acceptable advertising.
Depending on the means through which—and where—a marketing campaign is carried out, numerous laws can come into play in determining the requirements for a liability-free campaign. These laws are too numerous and complicated to be adequately explained in this posting; however, some of the major laws are briefly described below:
Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act): Among other things, the FTC Act requires that advertisements are truthful and non-deceptive, advertisers back up their claims with objective evidence, and that advertisements are not unfair. The FTC Act also places restrictions and requirements on the use of testimonials and endorsements.
Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM): This regulation applies to email and mobile service commercial messages (MSCM) -- essentially an email message sent to a wireless device). CAN-SPAM has many requirements, including restrictions that the email does not have a false or misleading subject line or header information, is clearly identified as an advertisement, contains the sender's postal address, and clearly states an opt-out method. In addition, the sender needs prior express authorization from the intended recipient before sending the MSCM.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA): This act makes it illegal to "call" (including texting) individuals through an automatic dialing system without their prior express consent.
Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act: This act covers, among other things, deceptive advertisements for goods and services for personal, family and household use. In order for a class action lawsuit to be based on an OCSPA violation, the plaintiff must show that the defendant had prior notice that its conduct was deceptive. This notice can be in the form of a rule adopted by the Ohio Attorney General or in a publicly available judicial decision of an Ohio court. The Ohio Attorney General maintains the
Ohio Public Inspection File
, which functions as a database of prohibited conduct for which prior notice exists.
Recently, a federal court in California refused to dismiss a putative class action case against a home warranty company based on the company's allegedly misleading advertisement which a recipient claimed violated the California Business and Professional Code. The advertisement at issue was an email with the subject line: "Roof Repair Made Easy." Two hyperlinks were provided in the body of the email, both of which linked to an application for a home warranty with the defendant company. In refusing to dismiss the case, the court held that a recipient of the email might reasonably feel misled by it, thereby resulting in potential liability to the company. While there has not yet been decision by the court on whether or not to certify the case as a class action, the defendant company could possibly face liability in the eight-figure range.
Given the plethora of federal, state and even foreign laws that can potentially impose liability on a business for an improper or deceptive marketing campaign, business owners should consult legal counsel when developing any advertisements. Ensuring that a marketing campaign is liability-free is well worth the initial costs, especially considering the substantial financial consequences that accompany running afoul of the relevant laws. Effective advertising is a hallmark of a successful business; deceptive advertising, however, carries the risk of potentially ruinous liability and should be avoided by taking careful consideration of the many applicable laws.

Lichen striatus begins similarly to lichen planus, with small bumps (papules), but over a period of days expands to form a long streak or band of affected skin. The condition clears spontaneously (without medication) over a period of months. This condition is seen frequently in children less than 16 years old, but may also occur in adults.

Phoronix: Marek Lands Radeon Gallium3D MSAA Changes
Marek Olák, the prolific independent contributor to Mesa/Gallium3D and the open-source Radeon Linux graphics driver, has landed a number of commits today in Mesa pertaining to MSAA, a.k.a. multi-sample anti-aliasing for newer Radeon GPUs...
it does
Code:OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 8.1-devel (git-cf76edd) OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
Awesome. Now, on to 3.1
Looks like we need the forward compatible context support/deprecations (I've seen what I believe are commits related to this in mesa-dev), UBOs (almost done?), and Texture Buffer Objects (which I'm assuming is only done for i965).Code:GLSL 1.40 needs UBOs (in progress) Forward compatibile context support/deprecations not started Instanced drawing (GL_ARB_draw_instanced) DONE (i965, gallium, swrast) Buffer copying (GL_ARB_copy_buffer) DONE (i965, r300, r600, swrast) Primitive restart (GL_NV_primitive_restart) DONE (i965, r600) 16 vertex texture image units DONE Texture buffer objs (GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object) needs GL3.1 enabling (i965) Rectangular textures (GL_ARB_texture_rectangle) DONE (i965, r300, r600, swrast) Uniform buffer objs (GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object) DONE (i965) Signed normalized textures (GL_EXT_texture_snorm) DONE (i965, r300, r600)

This is quite huge, we've been waiting for it for 3 years now.
Regarding 6000/5000 generation, I'll probably buy one when it's actually faster (across the board) than the 4000 generation for the FOSS drivers. But now there's simply no point.

Pilot Study of Raltegravir Switch to Resolve Tenofovir Induced Proteinuria (RALPIR)
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The study is designed to evaluate the proportion of patients with tenofovir induced proteinuria that will resolve their proteinuria when the tenofovir containing nucleoside/nucleotide backbone is switched to a raltegravir backbone. Common HIV treatment regimens contain nucleoside/nucleotide combinations that may have long-term side effects including nephrotoxicity. Switching these backbones out for an integrase inhibitor based regimen has not been systematically evaluated.
Hypothesis: Proteinuria developing during treatment with tenofovir improves or resolves when tenofovir is switched out with raltegravir. Switching to a nuc- sparing regimen, containing raltegravir and a boosted protease inhibitor in patients without preexisting protease inhibitor mutations is safe and does not lead to virologic failure

Amodio is a few months older and Chan and indeed not at the same level (assuming both skate cleanly). He was, in general, more of a late bloomer. It's worth noting, however, that Amodio lost a significant period of training time as a teen after being diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease (source). Does that have any long-term effects? Even if not, missing nearly two years of training and competition is bound to affect a skater's progress.
Amodio just got a level 4 for his SP steps at The Masters this weekend, and French events don't tend to be that overscored. OTOH, Joubert and Besseghier also got level 4s, so make of that what you will. In general, I think it's not as hard as it used to be to get one, so some skaters may surprise us yet. But since the ISU has decreased the importance of step sequences in recent years, I'm not sure it's as important to have great ones across the board; consistent levels 3s and good GOEs are enough to make most skaters competitive.
Where I think Hanyu and Gachinsky have an edge is on jumps - Hanyu got his consistent at a younger age (he's still not 18!) and is now doing two different quads, and Gachi learned Mishin technique from early on, which can't hurt. Hanyu also has an advantage when it comes to the variety of spin positions he can do.
p.s. IP, your inbox is full
Didn't that coach that he just let go help his jumps?
Buttercup, I'm gonna have to start saving our PMs to my hard drive, as I clearly don't delete them quickly enough!
Krall was definitely more of a technical coach. In fact, Don Laws left him during the Olympic season because Chan was spending a lot of time in Colorado with Dartfish. Now, whether or not you think she was solely responsible for his jumps is up to you. During the 2011 Worlds, it was mentioned that Kathy Johnson helped him with movement and those improvements helped him in the jumps, for example. It's also worth mentioning that Eddie Shipstad (the pole/harness dude) is still working with him, and his training base is still Colorado Springs.
Though I do wish Krall had a bigger role than what Chan envisioned, I can only see how it'll play out before making judgements. And even then, who knows?
Chan had a bad day during the Japan Open. It can happen to anyone. Nevertheless, I don't think this will affect him at all. The grand prix series haven't started yet and skaters get better as season progresses. In my eyes, he is still pretty much a favorite to win every event he will participate. I just don't understand why some people were "jumping around with joy" with Patrick's failure at the JO
I don't think people are cheering anyone's failure, just that the judging didn't ignore the falls.
Well, maybe not on this forum but unfortunately there were some nasty comments on facebook. Anyway, I'm sure he'll bounce back
I don't see where this "sour mood" came from?
Let's see where Patrick is now according to Japan Open results:
1) If he landed a perfect 4T, but fell three times, he'd have gotten 10.30 + 1.00 (assume that he'd get +1 GOE which is easy for him if he lands it) = 11.30. And assume that he'd have gotten +2 in PCS for this jump. He'd wrap up +7 points more from this jump. He'll get total = 144.42. He is still the last.
2) If he landed a perfect 4T-3T, but fell three times, he'd have gotten 14.40 + 2 (assume that he'd get +2 GOE for it) = 16.40. And assume that he'd have gotten +2 in PCS for this jump combo. He'd wrap up +14.16 more for this jump. He'll get total = 151.58. He'll be in fifth and bearly beat Brezina.
3) If he landed both quads perfectly, but fell two times on other jumps, assume that he'd have gotten +4 in PCS, he'd wrap up +21.16 more for both quads. He'll get total = 158.58. He'll be in fourth and only beat Brezina and Plushenko.
4) If he landed both his quad jumps and landed 3A, but fell on 3Lz + seq, his 3A would have gotten 9.35 + 1 (assume that he'd get +1 GOE for it) = 10.35. And assume he'd have gotten +1 in PCS for 3A. He'd get +27.16 more for landing two quads and a 3A. He'll get total = 164.58. He could then become third and beat Brezina, Plushenko, and Buttle.
5) If he landed all his jumps, but made a few mistakes, such as doubled his 3F and singled his 2A, assume his 3Lz + seq will be 3Lz-1Lo-3S which will be 11.77 without GOE. Also assume that he'd get +1 PCS for this jump. He'd wrap up +37.75 more points. His total = 175.17. He will be first. His PCS might be 84.42 +6 = 90.42. Slightly lower than Takahashi has gotten this time. Or if his PCS is on the high end, it might be +7 more than he's actually gotten this time. So it could be 91.42.
Sounds quite reasonable to me.
By the way, I didn't see a direct link to this program in any threads other than Patrick's Fan Fest thread. So I brought it here:
Patrick's La Boheme at Japan Open 2012
I think the choreography is amazing! So, that was the result of David Wilson's work on a skater with the best skating skills! If Patrick could skate this program clean, this will be another materpiece! I love this music, and love his costume. This music and choreography suit Patrick like a glove. Looking forward to seeing him skate it clean - if he could skate clean with only Kathy Johnson by his side.
Honestly, Johnson is a warm, nurturing mother figure. I don't think that is enough for a world top skater. Patrick is still dreaming. He hasn't woken up yet. I so want to be proved 100% wrong about this.
Also, his PCS took quite huge a hit because of his four falls. He was in the fourth place on PCS after Takahashi, Buttle, and Plushenko. He has only beaten Kozuka and Brezina. It seems very fair to me.

thanks toni for link. it could be a great chan program. 4 falls too bad. but he is great in his exhibitions. Could it be he is so fast he cannot contol his jumps? he needs Yuna for a jump coach, lol.

that was a seriously good program. If he near clean with that it will bring down the house.

I think I agree - and contrary to some ubers saying "Patrick looked sick" - it was easy to see he looked OK and was joking around with his other teammates throughout the rest of the show. No doubt that he looked relaxed, happy and well.
The "blunder boy" for whatever reasons had trouble executing his jumps at the JO.
But after watching him skate this new program my impression was:
"Faster than a Speeding Bullet, More Powerful than a Locomotive, Able to Leap Tall Buildings in a Single Bound:
Its a Bird, Its a Plane, it's SuperChan" (TM )
OK, maybe the part about "able to leap tall buildings" wasn't quite right that night but the rest seems to fit.

Judges never ignore falls. Patrick's falls were duely penalized as per rules, no different from everybody else and from his other events. He rotated his big jumps and still earned decent marks from them. What really hurt him this time, besides the number of falls and deductions, were his missed combo and popped jumps near the end. These errors he seldom commits.
An off day or a meltdown happens to the best of them and is not an indication of the skater's general level. What are more worrisome are chronic issues a skater cannot resolve, such as UR, wrong edge, or stamina porblem.
It makes figure skating look like a wimpy, twerpy sport.
In rodeo, if you fall off the bronco, then fall off the bull, then fall off your horse in calf-roping, and then your little sister falls off her horse in barrel racing, your total score for the meet is No Score + No Score + No Score + No Score. You also get No Score if you touch the animal with your free hand.
Patrick Chan is the World Champion of Figure Skating. He is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest of all time. The boy fell down four times. Where's the hook? Where's the gong?
True, the security of his edges of his edges, his speed across the ice, the passionate soul of his choreographer -- these send the CoP into paroxysms of ecstasy. Still ... bah! humbug!

This past weekend, Mammoth Mountain Resort welcomed U.S. Snowboarding for the Sprint U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix, the final stop of the Grand Prix tour this season.
The location of the venues and the comfort of the resort facilities couldn't have provided a better arena for the crowd. The Pipes and Parks Venue is unlike any facility in the world. Whether you were there to learn a new trick or to watch others flip through the air, it is an experience that keeps you coming back for more.
Thank you to the entire Mammoth Lakes community for coming out and supporting our athletes. And a special thanks to Mammoth Mountain Resort for producing an amazing event and continuing a legacy of pushing the envelope in the sport. We hope everyone had a great time and we look forward to returning.
Don't forget to catch the event on NBC, Mar. 12 at 10:00 a.m. PST.

I'm one of Mono County's few 12-month 2-wheelers. And I may be the "helmeted motorcyclist" mentioned in a recent edition. I usually ride my motorcycle to Mammoth to get my mail, regardless of season.
In response to your question, do you ride for recreation or necessity? The answer is both. The recreational aspect is obvious. Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Greatest thing ever! As many of our top local athletes know, the skills practiced in motorcycling fully complement their alpine training. (Try to keep up to Johnny Teller on a motocross track, I dare you).
The Eastern Sierra is one of Americas' great motorcycling destinations both on-road and off.
So many great roads and trails! From Mammoth Motocross, the annual dual-sport rallies, cruiser rallies, the Goldwing group and countless touring and adventure riders, it is a very strong motorcycling community.
As far as necessity goes, at approaching and soon to be five dollars a gallon for gasoline, a 50 MPG motorcycle beats the heck out of a 25 MPG automobile.
Of course it would be very difficult to live here without automobiles, as motorcycles don't do blizzards very well. I do own a truck, it gets used for two things: powder days and hauling my dirtbike.
But with an average temperature well above freezing and an honest 300 plus days of sunshine, do the math.
I predict this summer to be a huge one for motorcycling. Many people will turn to the motorcycle for financial reasons, as the difference between 25 MPG and 50 MPG may make a big enough impact on some household budgets to justify a purchase. People will realize you don't need four wheels to drive yourself and your lunchbox to and from work, if the difference is hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars annually.
Which leads us to the greatest by-product of this trend, more motorcyclists. We will also be helping the planet one MPG at a time.
You might even be able to park at Vons, or take a left turn out of the post office.
And then, instead of looking at me like I'm crazy for riding in February, you can say "what a brave environmental steward that motorcyclist must be!" And if you really care about the planet, you'll join me.

1. Should it be the business of the Mono County Board of Supervisors to lobby for an Act of Congress on behalf of a multinational gold mining company who will use that act to extract resources, give false and unsustainable economic hope to small community and degrade soils, water and habitat?
2. Is it necessary to release the Bodie Hills from WSA status in order for Cougar Gold or any mining operation to explore the costs of mining?
3. Is this issue really about mining or is it about the push to release not only the Bodie Hills but other areas from WSA status?
Please do not go on record as standing by the side of a large gold mining company without an open, inclusive, broad and possibly time consuming process that would cause us all look at the costs and advantages of not only gold mining in Mono County but the consequences of releasing our public lands from WSA status.
Please visit the Cougar Gold web site and understand that they are advertising for six positions at the paramount site that will pay $14 per hour. Working full time for one year this would mean $28,000 per year. In 2008 the median income in Mono County was $56,000 per year. Is this about jobs?
The price of gold will continue to increase and the pressure to mine for profit, our public and nationally owned lands will also continue. Let us sent a unified message from Mono County that we cannot release any lands from WSA status until we are all brought together to discuss, present, question and decide what course of action will be the best for the most of us and for the public lands that have been placed in our protection for the future. The members of congress who authored the Wilderness Act were the founding fathers of land protection in the United States. Perhaps it is time we see it that way and not meddle in their intentions.
I ask that you consider putting together a group of entities, organizations and individuals who can discuss the issue of releasing WSAs; who can educate themselves about the broader social and environmental consequences of gold mining and sustainable economic development in Northern Mono County. I will volunteer in that effort if asked.
Please bring more of us who care about Mono County into the discussion and do not release the Bodie Hills WSA from its present status without a protracted, open and public discussion about the outcome.

We were a bit disappointed to read Mammoth Times (MT) article "Pining for cell towers in Crowley Lake." We are not challenging the idea of cell service in Crowley Lake, in fact we welcome it. We are, however, challenging the site selection which is located in a residential neighborhood with homes as close as 200 feet. We are greatly concerned about the height of the two 60 foot cell towers which will extend at least 20 – 25 feet above the 35 – 40 foot height of the existing tree line... This location is not appropriate, visually appealing, or safe for such massive towers...
Your article mentions that it is a commercial lot but it is actually a dual zoned lot, residential and commercial, along Juniper Drive and Hilton Creek Place which are both completely residential. The MT article states that the average height of Southern California Edison's utility poles is 47 feet. The photo in your article and the drawings in the cell tower permit application are misleading. They seek to depict these towers as not being intrusive. We had a California State Licensed Professional Engineer measure the actual height of the telephone poles along the proposed lot which were determined to be 35 feet high. The trees were determined to be a maximum of 40 feet high...
Besides being visually impairing we also have concerns about light pollution to our beautiful dark skies (security lights), noise and air pollution from backup generators, fire hazard from storing fuel and running unattended generators, and the unclear health risk from the towers. These two towers will greatly disrupt the natural beauty of the area, not to mention further reduce property values in the area which have already been greatly depressed...
With four carriers this site would generate at least $100,000 per year. In the proposed arrangement most of this income would not go to the property owners but will go out of Crowley Lake, out of Mono County, into the bank accounts of Incline Partners located in La Quinta. If the residents of Crowley Lake and Mono County want to get serious about providing cell coverage to all of the area surrounding Crowley Lake and providing a much needed source of revenue then the county should hire a qualified independent engineering firm to perform a series of site assessments...
Once an appropriate site is selected the cell phone companies would build the cell tower(s) and provide the equipment providing a monthly lease fee back to the county. This is precisely what countless communities and counties have done providing valuable recurring income...
In a few short years, once the Digital 395 optical fiber project is complete and Crowley Lake has fiber, even more cell coverage options will become viable. "Small Cell" technology can be mounted onto existing telephone poles and lamp posts and connected by optical fiber to provide coverage doing away with the need for large unsightly towers...
Let's not make a hasty decision that we all will have to live with the consequences for the next 30 years... In the interim, technology widely available today in the form of femtocells, provide affordable alternatives for cell phone coverage for all Crowley Lake residents.

Editor's note: The proposed lot includes the commercial Wash All Laundromat Car Wash & Showers, which have operated on the lot for years, and a firewood business that was recently added. According to Mono County Supervisor Hap Hazard, the county carried out an engineering assessment and inventory of potential sites during the past five years and concluded the only sites that could provide service to the area between Sherwin Summit and the airport would be located in a "signal rectangle down Crowley Lake Drive on both sides."
Regarding the possibility of the Cougar Gold mining project coming to the Bodie Hills of Mono County, policy makers need to be aware that the proposed mine site is within the area containing important habitat for the Bi-state population of the Greater Sage Grouse. In response to numerous petitions from advocates seeking to have the bird placed on the Endangered Species List, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a decision in March, 2010, indicating that listing of this bird is "warranted but precluded." This means the Service chose not to list the bird at that time due to other higher conservation priorities, but they will conduct annual reviews of its status, and likely take listing action in the future if the bird or its habitat is jeopardized further due to a variety of potential threats. As a biologist who has worked with this bird for an extended period of time, it is hard for me to imagine a gold mining operation in the Bodie Hills that will not have a negative impact on sage grouse populations there.
The sage grouse issue needs to be considered very seriously. A listing by the Service has the potential of significantly curtailing many of the traditional uses of public lands within the range of the Greater Sage Grouse in the entire western United States. Because the Bi-state Population is unique due to specific genetic characteristics, it is even more vulnerable to listing.
The benefits of a short term boost to the Mono County economy from a gold mine in the Bodie Hills may not be worth the risk of damage to sage grouse populations or their habitat, the same having the potential to accelerate a listing and curtail other traditional public land uses.

Lefty looks to impress, shake injury, inconsistency vs. Lohse, Crew
Freddy Garcia made his final case Tuesday for the Braves' fourth postseason rotation spot, and Paul Maholm will get his shot on Wednesday in the series finale against the Brewers.
Garcia allowed two earned runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings in the Braves' 3-2 walk-off win on Tuesday, and he seems to have the edge over Maholm heading into postseason play. Garcia has upped his performance since he was acquired in a trade from the Orioles last month, while Maholm has fluttered since a hot start to open the season.
The 31-year-old left-hander started the season with 25 1/3 scoreless innings in his first four starts, but he has posted a 5.19 ERA in 21 starts since. Maholm is 1-0 with a 4.96 ERA in three September starts, but he gave up two home runs and took a no-decision in a win over the Cubs on Friday, and he has been pitching through some elbow discomfort that prompted the Braves to skip his spot in the rotation the week before.
Maholm said his arm felt good after last Friday's 9-5 win at Wrigley Field.
"I made a couple bad pitches for the home runs," Maholm said. "It just seemed like later in the game, the pitches just didn't seem to be the same. I don't know if that was influenced by not pitching for 12 days. My arm felt good."
Not only will Maholm be pitching for his personal postseason fate, but he will also have a chance to alter the National League East champion Braves' playoff situation. Atlanta enters Wednesday with a half-game lead on the Cardinals for home-field advantage in the playoffs.
Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse will try to help his team play spoiler and take the three-game series, while earning some money of his own. All Lohse needs is one out to earn $350,000, an annual incentive in his three-year, $33 million contract for reaching 190 innings pitched.
"If I do my job all year, that's a level of innings I should get," said Lohse, who missed out on a September start when the Brewers moved to a six-man rotation. "It hasn't been a major concern. It's not a benchmark I'm shooting for because of incentives. I would have liked to get to 200 [innings], and I know if I would have had the extra start, I would have. But there are more important things, like getting to see some of the young guys."
In 31 starts this season, spanning a team-high 189 2/3 innings pitched, Lohse is 10-10 with a 3.51 ERA.
Braves: McCann back in lineup after seeing the birth of his second child
Braves catcher Brian McCann was back in the lineup Monday after missing Monday's game to be with his wife, Ashley, for the birth of the couple's second child.
McCann, who is hitting .259 on the season with 20 home runs and 57 RBIs, went hitless in three at-bats but did walk in the fifth inning.
The 29-year-old catcher entered Tuesday with a four-game hitting streak and a .196 average in September.
• Third baseman Chris Johnson was given the night off Tuesday for just the fourth time since June 12, and Braves manager Fredie Gonzalez plans to give Jason Heyward the day off Wednesday and Andrelton Simmons a day off sometime this week in preparation for the playoffs.
Brewers: Top prospect Nelson to replace Peralta in rotation
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke announced Tuesday that Jimmy Nelson will take Wily Peralta's turn in the rotation on Saturday against the Mets in part because of a blister on Peralta's right index finger that resurfaced in his last start.
"It's not just the blister," Roenicke said. "[Peralta is] in a really good spot now with the workload that he's had this year [183 1/3 innings], and we think where he is with his innings and now this coming up, it's a good time for him to go ahead and -- I don't want to say shut it down, because I don't want him shutting it down -- but it's a good time to put somebody else in there."
Nelson, the Brewers' top prospect according to MLB.com, will make his first Major League start unless he is used in emergency relief prior to Saturday. The 24-year-old right-hander has not started a game since Aug. 31 when he was with Triple-A Nashville, but he has thrown five scoreless innings in three appearances out of the Brewers' bullpen in September.
• Left-handed reliever Tom Gorzelanny will not pitch again for the Brewers this season due to shoulder discomfort. Gorzelanny has not pitched since Sept. 2 because of the shoulder issues, and he finished with a 3-6 record and 3.90 ERA in 33 relief appearances and 10 starts.
Worth Noting
• Atlanta has a losing record against three National League teams this season: the Padres, the Giants and the Brewers. Milwaukee has a 3-2 lead in the season series entering Wednesday. The Phillies can also finish with a winning record against the Braves with a series win this weekend.

Legislation that would provide for direct access to physical therapy services for patients in Alabama took a step forward yesterday when the state's Senate Health Committee voted 5-2 to accept amendments to Senate Bill 361 that were proposed by the Alabama Chapter.
Yesterday's vote in the Senate Health Committee was bolstered by a recent PT Legislative Day & Rally hosted by the Alabama Chapter to lobby in support of SB 361 and the House's version of direct access legislation, HB 202. Approximately 300 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students of physical therapy converged on the Alabama state legislature in Montgomery on April 26 to rally in support of direct access for the state's residents. The day started off with the chapter's Legislative Chair Emmett Parker, PT, MS, ATC, and former chapter President Dave Morris, PT, PhD, providing registrants with advocacy training on direct access, tips on how to meet with their state legislators, and information about their scheduled appointments. Attendees then met with their statehouse representatives and state senators. Many of the physical therapy students explained to their legislators that they would potentially leave the state following graduation given that Alabama is 1 of only 2 states left that has no form of direct access. Following the legislative visits, attendees gathered for a rally in support of the legislation where they heard from Rep Ed Henry, sponsor of HB 202.
APTA awarded the Alabama Chapter a 2011 direct access grant to assist with this year's efforts and provided staff assistance for the rally.

Homicide victim identified
Dan McDonald Staff WriterA man whose body was discovered in a motor home April 29 in Plumas County was identified Friday as Brian Joseph Graves, 49.
According to the Yuba City Appeal-Democrat and the Sutter County Sheriff's Office, Graves was a Marysville-area transient.
Ricky Ray Kingsley, 53, has been charged with murder in Graves' death.
Kingsley was arrested April 29 after a Forest Service officer discovered him digging a grave just off Highway 70 at Murphy Creek near Belden.
The officer found Graves' body after searching Kingsley's motor home at the site.
The Appeal-Democrat reported that Graves had been shot twice and stabbed twice. All four wounds were to the head, according to the Yuba City police.
Kingsley spent a night in the Plumas County jail before being transferred April 30 to the Sutter County Jail, where he was booked without bail.
He was moved to Sutter County because police believed the homicide took place in Yuba City.
Kingsley, who has a criminal record, had been living in his motor home in the parking lot of the Yuba City Walmart.
