10 Musicians Who Only Rely On Publicity Stunts- By Bossip Staff Categories: Attention Slores, Hip-Hop Beef, Multi
10 Musicians Who Need Publicity Stunts To Sell Records
Kendrick Lamar is such a refreshing artist for one main reason: he lets his music speak for itself. Rarely is he in the middle of drama and slore-y activities to promote his music. Other artists aren't so lucky. These celebrities rely solely on attention sloring to get attention and it's wearing thin on us.

Color Shown on Model:Pic 1-4: 10/26TT, Pic 5: 27T/613A short-length wig from Jon Renau, Reese has slightly wavy, layered hair up top and flip out tips along the nape for a fresh new look.
Utilizing breakthrough wig making methods, the Jon Renau Osolite collection offers the lightest, most comfortable wigs on the market. Wigs in this exclusive Jon Renau line weigh up to 50% less than traditional wigs by the use of lighter materials and machine-back open cap construction (also referred to as capless).

- Cool, Soft, Secure Fit - Open cap construction allows superior ventilation to keep your scalp cool. This design also reduces the cap weight of each wig, for a more secure fit.
- Lightweight For Ultimate Comfort - O'solite wigs, weighing as little as 1.65 ounces, eliminate the pressure and friction you might feel from a heavier traditional wig. O'solite wigs provide maximum comfort with minimum weight.

Developing an environment in your company that rewards hard work and wins employee loyalty always helps to foster success. That culture may be crucial when your business has to confront a crisis.
Entrepreneurs need a "just-right" business plan, one that provides a measuring stick for fast growth without overtaking performance, writes this computer-consulting entrepreneur.
Everything a computer person needs to learn for her business, she can get from her mentors--when they become members of her advisory board. First they provide expertise in sales, marketing, management and money matters. Then, morphing into a board of directors, they keep her on budget, on time and focused on her exit strategy. But perhaps their best lesson is that learning should be passed along to others.
The challenges of working for both the talent the company represents and the clients who buy that talent are discussed by this veteran negotiator. The most important factors in her success: knowing the product and understanding what clients really need.
As vice chairman of America Online, owner of sports teams and serial entrepreneur, Ted Leonsis has accomplished enough for many lifetimes. In addition, however, he uses the leverage of his position and his entrepreneur's drive to tackle a multitude of philanthropic goals.
This veteran entrepreneur and longtime AOL executive explains how "interdisciplinary thinking" continues to shape his approach to succeeding as an entrepreneur and in his overall professional and personal lives.
As a child growing up in Chihuahua, Mexico, Cecilia Levine's English vocabulary didn't include "entrepreneurship," but she certainly could see the difference it made in people's lives. What she couldn't see then was how entrepreneurship would provide her with the tools, resources and passion to improve the lives of thousands on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border.
Larry Levy believes entrepreneurship education is important for the future of our country, and his involvement with Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management, demonstrates the commitment behind his beliefs.
Entrepreneurs must identify ways to exit a business at the onset, which enables efforts to be directed to a goal, writes the builder of two companies. The author, now a venture capitalist, outlines four steps for doing so.
Don't get Randal Charlton wrong. The executive director at the TechTown business incubator in Detroit is thankful for a recent announcement of $5 million coming his way to help graduates of his FastTrac business training program launch their companies. But, he says, look at it this way: The money, granted by the New Economy Initiative, a Detroit-area philanthropic partnership, is not being thrown at comfortable entrepreneurs. This is, essentially, aid to the unemployed. And, as such, $5 million barely scratches the surface.
Many of the entrepreneurs to be helped by the First Step Fund, the entity created by NEI's $5 million investment, are not launching startups because it seems like a promising thing to do. They have nowhere else to go, Charlton says. Their former jobs in the auto industry are gone, never to return. Their choices are to leave the state or try to create their own jobs in Michigan.

I second SD, find a rigger who does smaller boats, buy a loos gauge before the survey (make sure you get the right one for your gauge rigging), then tell the rigger you want a rigging survey and are also willing to pay the extra couple hours or so to have him/her explain it to you enough so you can keep it in tune and also take it on a short sail to verify that it's in tune.
A good resource for finding a rigger who knows and works on smaller boats in your area would be your local J24 racers. In fact, you should probably crew on some of their boats anyway just to find out what crazy people do when they sail, but that is another topic.

Riding on its numbers in Rajya Sabha, the Congress will neither allow passage nor defeat of the Insurance Amendment Bill on the floor of the House, but will insist to send it to the Select Committee, to prevent prime minister Narendra Modi government to call a joint session of parliament to seek passage of the Bill. Senior Congress leaders admit, it was a political ploy to convey Modi government despite a brute majority in Lok Sabha was not in total control and they (Congress) were still players in the politics. Modi is keen for the passage of this Bill, ahead of his visit to the United States in September last week.
Party's deputy leader in the House Anand Sharma refused the government offer to bring in amendments which will be incorporated into the bill.
"This is not an issue between the Congress and the BJP which they can settle between themselves. The views of other opposition parties have to be considered. Eleven parties, including the AIADMK have written to the Chairam (of Rajya Sabha) seeking the setting up the Select Committee. The Congress will go with the other Opposition parties," he said.
He said that the government has made 11 amendments to the bill that Congress had brought to the House in August 2013, after it was referred to the finance standing committee under senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha. Three of the new amendments are substantive and these need to be considered afresh by all the parties, and this can happen only in the select committee, he argued.
He said there is need for the definition of FDI because the government's bill has included portfolio investors and foreign institutional investors (FIIs), and it is what he called a substantive change which all the parties have to consider closely.
A senior Congress leader of the House speaking on condition of anonymity explained the need for a select committee. He said it is not an issue that is to be discussed among the political parties, but the views of the stakeholders need to be taken into account as well. He said the views of the stakeholders can be elicited only in the committee stage.
Sharma also cited the example of the Lokpal Bill 2012, which was not passed in Rajya Sabha and it had to be referred to the select committee on the insistence of the leader of opposition Arun Jaitley. Sharma contended that the Congress wants the same procedure to be followed in the case of the insurance bill as well.
He has however made it clear that Congress would want the bill to be passed but only after it goes through the select committee, and that the party was committed to the bill in-principle. He reminded that the BJP had sat over the bill for six years, from 2008 when it was first introduced.
He also wondered as to why the government was in such haste after blocking the bill for six years. He hinted that the bill could be pushed through the winter session and there was no need to go through it now.
It is learned that prime minister Narendra Modi has asked the government to get the bill passed in this session on priority. It would appear that he would want to use it as a trophy for his first visit to Washington next month.

Seahawks make roster moves to reach 53-man limit
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
The Seattle Seahawks kept veteran wide receivers Braylon Edwards and Ben Obomanu on their final 53-man roster Friday night and waived returning young receivers Deon Butler, Kris Durham and Ricardo Lockette.
There were little surprises on Seattle's final 53-man roster. If the past two years are any example, the roster will still see significant flux over the next few days as the Seahawks have been successful with signings after cut day in each of Pete Carroll's first two years as head coach.
If there was a surprise it was the decision to activate offensive lineman James Carpenter from the physically unable to perform list. Carpenter did not participate in any of training camp while the 2011 first-round pick continues his recovery from a serious knee injury late last season.
The rest of Seattle's cuts include: DB Phillip Adams, DE Pierre Allen, LB Allen Bradford, G Paul Fanaika, G Rishaw Johnson, WR Jermaine Kearse, LB Kyle Knox, DE Cordarro Law, TE Sean McGrath, C Kris O'Dowd, QB Josh Portis, DB DeShawn Shead, LB Korey Toomer and WR Lavasier Tuinei.
Seattle also waived/injured tight end Cooper Helfet and running back Vai Taua; reached an injury settlement with defensive lineman Pep Levingston, put linebacker Matt McCoy on injured reserve and placed cornerback Walter Thurmond III on the physically unable to perform list. The Seahawks will also be without backup offensive lineman Allen Barbre for four weeks while he serves a league-imposed suspension.
The Seahawks chose to go into the regular season with just two quarterbacks on the active roster after cutting Portis, who may be a candidate for Seattle's practice squad. Rookie Russell Wilson will be the starter with Matt Flynn as his backup.
The decision to cut Adams was a surprise after he spent most of the preseason working with the second-team defense at cornerback. But that move kept rookie Jeremy Lane and second-year cornerback Byron Maxwell on the active roster. By releasing McGrath, the Seahawks are initially planning on going into the regular season with three tight ends - Kellen Winslow, Zach Miller and Anthony McCoy.
But easily the biggest shock had nothing to do with a player being released, but with Carpenter getting activated off the PUP list and a positive sign in his recovery. Carpenter was drafted to be a right tackle for Seattle, but will move to guard when he returns, a comeback that will happen sooner than was expected.
By keeping Edwards and Obomanu, Seattle is moving forward with a six-man wide receiving group featuring Sidney Rice, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate and free-agent Charly Martin. With Butler and Martin Essentially trying to fill the same role, Martin proved more versatile on special teams and with a bit more speed off the line than Butler, who missed part of last season while recovering from a broken leg suffered late in the 2010 season.
Durham missed the latter half of his rookie season after suffering a torn labrum in his shoulder and requiring surgery. The Seahawks were hoping the lanky receiver with deceptive speed could step into the role that Mike Williams previously held. But it was obvious early in camp the Seahawks were not satisfied with the receiver position and brought in both Edwards and Terrell Owens. Owens was released last weekend. Edwards might be starting on Sept. 9 at Arizona.
Durham was one of the Seahawks' two draft picks to be released. The other was Toomer, who was a fifth-round selection in April's draft out of Idaho, but struggled in making the transition to the NFL.

FCKH8'ing Feminist Wannabes
Just when you think that raging feminist pestilence could not get any worse, FCKH8.com turns around and sinks to a new kind of stupid. Oh, yes. The new ridiculousness that is FCKH8 has brought children into the arena now. (You know the little human beings that "activists" want others to pay to abort.) FCKH8 and their feminist sidekicks thought it would be so clever to have children around the age of nine scream F-bombs, and other colorful language, at a camera over and over again in the name of taking women more seriously. (Because nothing says "I am woman, hear me roar" like a child screaming profanities at you for two and half minutes.)Read more
Could Your 2nd Amendment Rights Die in the American West?
Colorado's Democrat state legislator has pushed some of the most sweeping anti 2nd amendment laws in the nation.
The controversial 2013 measures prompted 55 of Colorado's 62 elected sheriffs to file a federal law suit against their own state, citing the new gun control mandates unconstitutional. These laws are so unpopular, their passing led to the prompt ousting of two Democratic state senators.
It really shouldn't come as a surprise that Colorado Governor Hickenlooper, who just scored a grade of "F" by the libertarian CATO Institute on fiscal policies from a limited-government perspective, has been such a staunch opponent against our right to bear arms.

Colorado Women Speak Out: "We Are Not One-Issue Voters"
An interesting turn of events is happening in Colorado. Not only is Senatorial Candidate Cory Gardner beginning to hold a respectable lead in the polls, but the push-back against embattled Sen. Mark Udall's one-issued, "War On Women" campaign is, in many ways, taking center-stage.
The Denver Post recently endorsed Udall's Republican opponent, and summed it up perfectly,
"Rather than run on his record, Udall's campaign has devoted a shocking amount of energy and money trying to convince voters that Gardner seeks to outlaw birth control despite the congressman's call for the over-the-counter sales of contraceptives. Udall is trying to frighten voters rather than inspire them with a hopeful vision. His obnoxious one-issue campaign is an insult to those he seeks to convince."
It looks like Udall's fear mongering strategy is falling flat. More than that, it could be backfiring. Big time.Read more
Third Party Candidates and Georgia
This morning, I read an article written by someone I consider a friend. It was in regards to the Senate race in Georgia and after reading it, I was a little disappointed. Let me be clear, I am not disappointed because I disagree with her statements. I am disappointed that there seem to be a few things missing in the assessment.
First, there are more than two candidates running for US Senate in Georgia. We do have a third candidate, Libertarian Amanda Swafford. But I did not see her name anywhere in the article, and feel it does a disservice to those interested in all candidates.Read more

Henson, who has won 33 caps, moves from London Welsh who were relegated from the top flight last season.
"I am thrilled to be joining Bath this summer, and I look forward to becoming part of what looks a very exciting squad," said 31-year-old Henson.
"I still very much want to be playing at the highest level, and Bath is a big Club with big plans. I know what is expected of me and I can't wait to get started."
Henson had been linked with a move back to Wales this week with Newport-Gwent Dragons understood to be interested suitors.
Henson played just 11 times for London Welsh last season.
After leaving Ospreys in 2009, Henson has had short-lived spells with Toulon, Cardiff Blues before his one season with London Welsh.
But his recent career has been plagued by injury and discipline problems.
"We know Gavin's qualities and have seen him work extremely hard for his team and perform at a consistently high level last season," said Bath coach Gary Gold.
"He is still a very ambitious man and the prospect of him playing at the Rec is an exciting one."

Bedrock Wine Company The Bedrock Heirloom 2008
Other Red Blends from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
#37 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2010
The 2008 Bedrock Heirloom Wine comes from the 120 year old vines at my vineyard in Sonoma Valley. It is composed of 18 different interplanted, field-blended, varietals of which Zinfandel and Carignan dominant (Roughly 40% Zinfandel, 30% Carignane, and the last 40% the mixed blacks). It represents the absolutely unique blend of varietals found in the oldest vineyards in the state (of which Bedrock is one of the oldest). The wine was fermented using native yeasts in open-top redwood vats where it was manually punched-down. Following fermentation the wine was manually basket-pressed into 100% French oak barrels, of which 35% were new from the finest cooperages of Rousseau, Cadus, and Boutes. The Zinfandel element was aged in a once used, 500 liter puncheon. It was not racked until bottling after 12 months in barrel.
The 2008 is a bright effort, with plenty of high-tone spice and exuberant red-fruits. It probably needs a little more time then the Lorenzo's to calm down (as is typical with old-vines from Sonoma Valley). Again, you will find more structure and depth in this wine as it is made to age.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "An incredible Zinfandel blend that offers depth, balance and a distinctive sense of place. Bold aromas of violet, wild berry and licorice lead to rich, ripe and layered flavors of huckleberry, fresh sage and brown baking spices. The finish goes on and on. Zinfandel, Carignane and Petite Sirah. Drink now through 2015."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2008 Heirloom Proprietary Red is a blend of 30% Zinfandel, 30% Carignan, and 40% mixed blacks from one of California's oldest vineyards (120 years of age, with 18 different varietals). It is the type of wine you just can't find anywhere else. It exhibits a dense purple color along with abundant aromas of chocolate, herbs, meat juices, spice box, and black as well as red fruits. A gorgeous, hedonistic, full-throttle red, it proves that the pioneers who planted these mixed black vineyards knew exactly what they were doing. With sweet tannins, good body, and 14%-15% natural alcohol, it should drink well for 4-5 years."
International Wine Cellar - "Opaque ruby. Highly seductive aromas of raspberry and blackberry liqueur, rose petal, incense and spicecake; smells like a new school southern Rhone wine. Supple, silky and extroverted, with a pronounced sweetness to its red and dark fruit flavors. Really spreads out to saturate the palate and finishes with impressive thrust and clarity."

Bedrock Wine Company Winery
Bedrock Wine Co. was founded in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson in a 550 square-foot, former chicken coop with 8 foot ceilings and no fermentation space. After six years of Bedrock being a one-man-show, Morgan was able to talk his best friend, Chris Cottrell, into moving to California from New York to join him. They now happily have a little more space to move around in but share the same objectives that guided the winery at the start.
The winery's objectives are:
To channel the fruit of ancient vines into powerful, elegant, and distinctly Californian wines.
To spread the gospel of Syrah in California by sourcing fruit from great terroirs throughout the North Coast.
To proclaim the greatness of Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon by sparing no expense on wines of uniqueness and personality.
To reclaim rose' from the excesses of saignee and focus on precision, delicacy, aromatics, and food friendliness.
To make fascinating and quixotic white wines from unique sites and interesting varietals.
To dream big but keep production low! View all Bedrock Wine Company Wines
About Sonoma CountyRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

OSU Med Center Chooses a Partner
A managing partner has been chosen for downtown Tulsa's OSU Med Center. After months of talks, it's announced Oklahoma City based Mercy Health Systems is the selection. Chairman of the OSU Medical Authority, Jerry Hudson, says an agreement would provide administrative expertise, financial stability, and needed upgrades.
Negotiations are underway, but no timeline is set. OSU Med Center is the primary hospital for Tulsa's indigent residents.

For the last three months the Abilene Regional Airport has seen an increase in activity and theories are flying as to why. While the reason for the increase remains a mystery that doesn't stop employees from being happy with more traffic coming and going. Even businesses inside the airport are thriving.

DALLAS A pickup truck pulled into the path of a northbound DART light rail train on Monday afternoon, leading to delays on the Green and Orange lines.
The accident happened just after 2:30 p.m. at the Manor Way crossing, north of the Inwood/Love Field Station. The truck was hit near the driver-side door by the right front corner of the train.
DART spokesman Mark Ball said there were no injuries reported aboard the train. Passengers were transferred to another northbound train to complete their journeys.
The driver of the truck was cut on his arm from broken glass, and was treated at the scene by Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedics, Ball said.
DART said afternoon service on the Green and Orange lines would be affected as the wreckage was cleared, and regular service was restored by 4 o'clock.

Data from the annual Merritt Hawkins recruitment survey showed the biggest demand among medical specialties was for family physicians, followed by internal medicine physicians. The need for family physicians is partly driven by hospital system expansion and the need for patients of new facilities to connect with primary care clinicians. The report also found salary offers for family physicians increased 7% from 2009 to 2013.

I used a pre-screened litho film in the early 70's for special effects it worked well even enlarged. However I wanted to see medium to large dots and I was enlarging.
It's really an question/answer for the HybridPhoto forum, but as I've used this system fully analog anyway it's the same answer. You are only ever going to be able to make contact prints that look at their best like a single colour litho print, with regards to dot pattern. Remember high quality B&W books are usually Duotone, and some are full 4 plate colour.

She weighs maybe 90 pounds as she pitifully stands in the courtroom; her eyes starting to roll back into her head. There are remnants of what probably used to be a pretty girl. The young woman is in custody for prostitution and possession of a controlled substance. Having been arrested by the Logan County Sheriff's Department, she is headed to the Regional Jail at Holden. She will soon become a very sick individual. She will likely wish for death as a result of the withdrawal pains she will have to endure. The devil surely has had his way.
As always, I query the person: "How long have you been on drugs?" "When did you start on drugs?" "Do you have any children?" These are all typical questions of just about any addict I have ever dealt with in my profession for the past fourteen years. I usually wind up advising them that they are going to end up dead, never to see their children grow up or graduate from high school. Almost always, through teary eyes, the person says faintly, "I know." Believe it or not, I'm supposed to advise the arrested individual to not say anything. I find it very difficult to adhere to this basic court rule.
Drug addiction affects nearly every family in Logan County in one way or another. The addiction is not prejudicial as it survives in every economic phase: the wealthy, the poor and everything in between. Lying, stealing, violence, financial problems, poor health and unfortunately, even death are the bi-products of addiction. There appears to be no clear cut answer to the menacing problems plaguing our society, although there are those persons who are quick to supply their unwarranted solutions.
"What they ought to do is gather them all up and put them in one fenced- in place, then put thousands of pills right in the middle of the place and let 'em have all they want,'' was one person's awkward view; while other people believe jail to be the final answer. Most of us really do not know what to do. Families directly affected—and I know many—oftentimes run into walls of frustration as they travel varying avenues seeking help. There are horror stories related by parents and grandparents who wind up at their "wits' end" dealing with their family members' addiction. Most of the time when the first signs are becoming evident the family does not want to pursue any criminal charges: Either because they are not recognizing a potential problem or because they are just denying the facts.
I know people who have had to file for bankruptcy and those who have lost their homes due to family members stealing credit cards, jewelry, family heirlooms, coin collections and even stereos and televisions; all to feed their addiction. Unfortunately, there are even those couples with children, whether married or not, who use every penny from the household to buy their drugs which are more important to them than buying food for the home or paying rent or utilities. Child Protective Services is swamped with cases where children are found to be suffering.
So it is with this 23-year-old girl standing in front of me on this day. She tells me she has been an addict for 10 years and that her husband is also a pain pill addict. They have one child together. This person, who was known in the Triadelphia area as an addict and prostitute, has been seen walking beside the roads at all hours of the day and night there. Recently she has been feeding her habit, as well as her husband's, through low life individuals who picked her up in the areas of Mt. Gay, Deskins Addition and Cherry Tree near Logan. There are several such women doing the same thing, for the same reasons, in the same areas, as well as many other places in Logan County.
One has to ask as to what kind of husband would promote his wife in these actions. The answer comes from a pitiful person who tells me her habit is $300 per day while her husband's addiction costs "just" $150 per day. "I don't like to steal or do other bad things, so I do what I do," she explains, apparently trying to justify her current predicament.
There have been 167 reported deaths due to overdoses of prescription drugs in Logan County between the years of 2001 and 2010, according to the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health. Of course, there have been numerous overdose deaths, including suicide, from non-prescription drugs. Murders, automobile accidents, burglaries, domestic abuse, and other matters are often the result of drug usage, both legal and illegal.
I realize there have been many programs implemented to address law enforcement, medical and educational issues concerning the epidemic which is not limited to Logan County. However, I feel justified in saying that since former President Ronald Reagan declared America's "War on Drugs" we have certainly lost many battles, if not the war itself.
It has now been six days since the young addict was sent to jail for prostitution and possession of drugs charges. As I suspected, she managed to convince a family member to bail her out of jail. No doubt, she used the telephone to convince grandma that she has learned her lesson and no doubt she has promised to seek help. They all make these and other promises when they are behind bars. Nearly all wind up arrested again, if not found dead first.
The United States Constitution assures a person to bail and it is written as to prevent judicial officers from setting excessive bail amounts. Although in the long run it would probably benefit the addict if judicial officers such as myself set huge bonds on simple misdemeanor charges that would keep addicts in jail for at least two months before their trial date, it would not only be constitutionally wrong but it would soon bankrupt Logan County.
With the coal industry's current bleak future, there may come a time when choosing to pay for inmates' incarceration may become a larger problem than what it already is. Without coal operations, and with a declining population, we could lose our tax base and therefore funding for such things as the ambulance authority and fire departments could face depletion. Other programs, as well as government offices, could be affected. The jail bill then would certainly have to be placed in limbo.
If you pluck a seedling from the ground, it will never have the opportunity to become a full grown weed. Such, I believe, is the case with drug addiction. If magistrates had the ability to sentence to some form of early rehabilitation or drug courts, those misdemeanor violators that we suspect to be potential felony criminals because of suspected addiction might be saved and it would alleviate many future headaches for families, law enforcement and the courts.
Until then, we'll put them in jail. People will bail them out. And, the vicious cycle will continue.
In the meantime, please keep your doors locked.

It does not have basic amenities despite BDA sanctioning plan in 2012
The roads here are not wide, neither are they asphalted; only levelled with crushed stones. This layout does not have most civic amenities, including a park or playground, even though the Bangalore Development Authority approved the layout plan in 2012.
The residents and site owners of Vishwabharathi Cooperative Housing Society Layout in Girinagar here are at their wits end. They claim that though they pay property tax to the BBMP, their building plans were not being approved nor are khatas issued.
N. Bhat, a resident, claimed that only a few site owners have A-Khata (permanent khata). "It is not clear what kind of khata the others possess. If the layout is unauthorised, action should be initiated against the housing society. Why are we being harassed?" He claimed that they were neither able to sell their sites nor avail themselves of loans to construct their homes.
On Friday, Mayor D. Venkatesh Murthy, accompanied by Basavanagudi MLA Ravi Subramanya, Girinagar councillor H.S. Lalitha and officials from BBMP and BDA, inspected the layout developed by the housing society on 79 acres. While 1,335 sites have been distributed, the layout lacks basic civic amenities.
Recommending disciplinary action against BBMP officials who have sanctioned khatas to some site owners in the layout, he said the civic body should recover the development charges from the officials itself. He also said that he would write to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and urge him to withdraw the bulk allotment permission that was granted to the society in 2007 by the H.D. Kumaraswamy government.
He said it had been brought to the notice of even the BDA that the society had not distributed sites as per the seniority list. There were many charges of irregularities against the society as well. The layout has not yet been handed over to the BBMP by the BDA. "Hence, the society must be superseded and an administrator appointed."
According to a BDA official, in 2010, the High Court had directed the BDA to ensure that no building plans were sanctioned and construction was taken up in the layout after some society members approached it claiming seniority had not been maintained while sites were distributed. The society had now submitted the seniority list to the BDA and Registrar of Cooperative Societies. The BDA has already collected development charges and penalty amounting to Rs. 44 crore. The list has to be approved by both BDA and Registrar of Cooperative Societies.

Bill McCloskey | January 31, 2001 | Comments
This week dealt a serious blow to Enliven, one of the pioneers of online advertising. At the same time, we've witnessed the birth of an exciting new online advertising unit by CNET.
Can I be metaphysical for a second? It'll only happen once a year, I promise. This week's been a wild one in my house: Within a 10-hour period, my father-in-law died, and my niece had her first child, making me a great-uncle. It always seems to me that this is the way things work in life or business: One door closes, another opens. Which brings me (as it always does) to rich media and online advertising.
This week also dealt a serious blow to one of the pioneers of online advertising, and at the same time, I witnessed the birth of an exciting new online advertising unit that I predict is going to really shake things up.
Back in October, I made some predictions for 2001, one of which is that I stated this would be a make-or-break year for Enliven, the grandfather of the rich media banner. This week, parent company Excite@Home, facing a huge quarterly loss of $4.6 billion, announced it would be laying off employees and divesting itself of some of its business units, including Enliven. While assuring me that the "lights are not out at Enliven," an Excite spokesperson also stated that Excite would be looking to divest itself of Enliven "as soon as possible."
Dij` Vu
Well, since I was in this exact situation before when I worked at the Cosmo Software division of Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI), I have a pretty good idea of what's going on at Enliven right now. In fact, it's eerie how similar the two situations are (and that Tom Jermoluk left both companies, Excite and SGI, soon before their demise).
The parent company goofs up bigtime and needs to say something positive to the investors, something that makes it look like it's taking action. It looks around for a couple of expendable assets and announces that come hell or high water, these "noncore" units will be off the books "as soon as possible."
Which is exactly what happened to Cosmo. It was about to announce a huge deal with one of SGI's biggest clients when the pronouncement came down from on high that it was being booted out of the nest. As a result, the deal went south, and, suddenly, it was fire-sale time for poor old Cosmo.
Companies in this situation are not thinking clearly. Rather than think things through to maximize their investment, their knee-jerk reaction is to divest, divest, divest, as quickly as possible. Just get rid of some ballast, and the ship will right itself. And, as everyone knows, being a panicked seller is not the best negotiating position to be in. Cosmo was sold for scrap, but it should have been a crown jewel. And SGI never recovered.
Enliven, being way the hell across the country in Massachusetts, didn't have a chance. And now Excite has pretty much guaranteed Enliven a rough road ahead if the company wants to spin out or be acquired. But I hope Enliven makes it, and I wish the company well. For one thing, Enliven is a company that is used to reinventing itself. Maybe there is one last trick in the old dog yet.
Hot New Ad Units
Which, as James Joyce would say, "brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to" the new CNET ads that started up this week. A few weeks ago, CNET announced its new 100 x 100 Flash-based ad units, premiered them this week by running a few house ads explaining how the ads work, then promptly rolled out campaigns for Sun and Oracle that use the new units to great advantage.
Centered right in the line of sight in the center of the page, these new units are VERY eye-catching. And totally interactive. I couldn't help playing with them. I found myself scrolling through the ads and asking myself if I did indeed have a burning need for an Oracle 9i Application Server.
Other publishers have jumped on board, including ZDNet (acquired recently by CNET), New York Times Digital, and anyone else who has a brain. It's prediction time: These ads are hot and will be the ad units of choice in six months! Ignore my predictions at your peril.
Until next week, keep it rich!

6.2% ABV, saison with coriander, lemon balm, chamomile and lemon basil; Great Lakes Brewing Co., Cleveland, OH
Hazy old-gold color with a long-lasting, dense head of off-white foam. Complex aroma with herbs, a sour fruity note with lemon zest, and hints of earthy old barn and hay scents. Light and refreshing on the palate, with a dry, sour character. Carbonation is medium and very fine, giving the beer an almost creamy texture. The herbs and spices are restrained and well-balanced, with hints of coriander, lemon zest, and chamomile all detectable but enhancing, not dominating, the beer. The finish fades away gently with a mild sour note and increased bitterness. Partial rings and scattered bits of foam remain on the glass. Quite drinkable. A great summer refresher.

But nearly 70 percent of voters said Bush has not clearly explained how long American troops will have to remain in Iraq, and 55 percent said the current level of casualties there are unacceptable for achieving U.S. goals."

Not our joke, we swear. The Washington Post has at long last selected its new Reliable Source: Richard Leiby of the Style section.
A 12-year veteran of the Post , Leiby has covered the FBI for the National section, written for Outlook and did a great stint in Kuwait and Iraq this year. And how many journalists can say they've profiled both Mrs. Wilson and Elvis Costello? Watching the detectives, indeed.
"It's a big change for me," Leiby told The Note. "It's a totally different thing, and change is good for a middle-aged hack."

Everton boss David Moyes admits Marouane Fellaini's future could depend on a top four finish.
Fellaini has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United this season.
And Moyes admitted: "I would Âreally hope Fellaini will stay if we were in the Champions League.
"Of course, he might still go for the money on offer somewhere else, but at least he wouldn't be going for the Champions League.
"If you want to keep your best Âplayers you need top European Âfootball because they want to be involved in that.
"I agree with Arsene Wenger that finishing in the top four is the equivalent of winning a trophy – even if you don't get to parade silverware.
"I don't know whether every financial problem would be solved just by qualifying.
"But, for me, it would have an absolutely massive impact in terms of keeping the players I have and bringing in new faces."

Great tour was able to see all the sites with time in the evening to go to Gion corner. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. I recommend this tour to anyone wishing to get away for the just a weekend and see Kyoto. Had a wonderful time!!!
This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. Well organised, guide spoke clear fluent english and provided a great range of information about each place and we spent enough time at each location. Fantastic value for money!
Carolyn M
An excellent way to get an overview of Kyoto. Visited several of the major sites with well informed guides.
Very well organized tour. I was taken care of from pick up to drop off. The time spent in each of the 6 locations was long enough to enjoy them. Both of the tour guides were enthusiastic, and very entertaining to listen. Would do it again anytime...
Great tour especially especially if you are only visiting Kyoto for a short while. This covers all the major attraction place and saves you time getting to one place and another. The only downside is the lunch time block is too long (almost 2 hours).
Great pace, explored pretty much all we wanted to see in Kyoto all in a day/
This was a great tour with a nice size of group not too large or small. The tour lady speaks fluently english and has a great knowledge of Japan history. She does not miss a thing and kept us moving efficiently the schedules. Lunch was good and well organized with plenty of time enjoy and relax. We enjoyed the full day as expected., Excellent.
The tour is actually split in two. All sites were just woinderful. The afternoon guide, Mitch, one of the best guides ever. Nice, corteous, very knowledgeable, with one of best English spoken in all Japan. A must do!
Very well organized! a great and fun way to get to know Kyoto :)
Excellent tour. Great value and plenty to see. Lunch was also very good. Full day recommended!
Our guide made the day super enjoyable.
It was well planned, and everything we saw was just beautiful. Effortless and easy way to see lots of Kyoto in one day.
I was in Kyoto for a business trip so only had very limited time for sightseeing. This tour was absolutely perfect for me and the whole day was extremely well organised from start to finish.
We had different tour guides in the morning and afternoon and both were very informative and entertaining.
The pace was just right for me, giving me the opportunity to pack a lot into the day but without feeling too rushed.
nice tour. the guide was very kind and the tour is fantastic
terrific great guides nice lunch amazing sites
Excellent. Interesting and well-organised. Our guide was top-notch and answered questions easily. Travellers should be aware of the variations due to certain locations closing on certain days and seasons though.
Love this day tour! This is a must for a ay tour in Tokyo - Diego @ Australia
Very good tour. Entertaining. enthusiastic and helpful guide. An enjoyable day and good lunch! Thank you.
Extremely well organized tour; everything was well arranged and taken care of, the tour guides were knowledgeable and gave fabulous tips for other activities.
The tour was excellent and interesting. The morning and afternoon sections were led by different guides, who were very competent.
Fabulous tour!
A great tour, well organised. Great lunch. Really feel we got to see the best of Kyoto.
We had a good time overall and the lunch was good even though we did not have it at the Handicraft center as promised. We would recommend your tour to our friends.Tq
If you only have 1 day in Kyoto this is the tour for you. You won't get a lot of time to really sit back and enjoy the sites but you will see a lot. The Lunch wasn't the best but the sites and guides are fantastic!
Balkis A
we enjoyed the enlish commentary by both experienced guide. well worth it .Very organised and even the vegetarian lunch was 100%Japanese.

This Tetris Remix i made is in a Major Key instead of being Minor like the original. It gives the music a totally different unexpected feel and meaning and i hope that it will make you smile ! The 3d- Animation, Background and the concept of the Dancing Tetris Blocks have been made by me especially for this remix. The original "Korobeiniki" Tetris Theme is without a doubt a masterpiece i do not wish to replace it rather- i want to make those people smile that have grown to love this music and this game. "Korobeiniki", also known as the Tetris Song. Original Music written by Nikolay Nekrasov Remixed, ReArranged and Orchestrated by Pascal Michael Stiefel

Rainfall advisory lowered to yellow
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – The state weather bureau downgraded its rainfall alert from orange to yellow midday Monday, but moderate to heavy rains spawned by the storm-enhanced southwest monsoon were still seen.
Placed under yellow alert by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration past 11a.m. were Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, Bataan and portions of Laguna, Quezon, Cavite and Occidental Mindoro.
"Moderate to at times heavy rainfall are expected over Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga and portions of Laguna, Quezon, Cavite, Batangas and Occidental Mindoro which it persist within three hours," it said.
Flooding was threatening in low-lying areas.
However, heavy to at times intense rainfall was affecting Zambales and Bataan and most likely to continue for the next three hours.
The weather bureau hoisted orange rainfall alert twice Monday morning.
In Pagasa's extended weather outlook, the rainy weather will likely continue until Wednesday, Sept. 25.
The southwest monsoon was bringing rains in Luzon and Visayas.
Gilbert Aquino, weather observer from Pagasa, told INQUIRER.net that a storm over the Pacific Ocean located more than a thousand kilometers away was enhancing the southwest monsoon.
Tropical storm "Pabuk" was on its way to Japan but it's affecting the southwest monsoon, he said, adding that the storm will not likely enter the country.
Typhoon "Odette" (Usagi), the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year, was already too far away from the country to affect the weather here, he also said.
No low pressure area was also being monitored by the weather bureau, Aquino said.
"Metro Manila, Central Luzon and Calabarzon will experience cloudy skies with moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms which may trigger flasfloods and landslides," Pagasa said in its morning forecast.
Meanwhile, Mimaropa and Bicol Region will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms. Northern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail throughout the entire archipelago and the coastal waters will be moderate to rough. With reports from Kristine Sabillio, Inquirer.net.

In this season when we hang our memories with the ornaments and celebrate them in stories, this story about a boy and a dog who shared the same neurosurgeon has a new ending every time it's told. It began in 1997, when I first met the three principal participants during a stressful holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The boy, Jerry Martin, is a teenager today. He was 5 years old when the story began, had a high-pitched voice, an infectious smile and a head that appeared slightly too big for his body, possibly because he had not grown as quickly as other children his age. He lived in a rural area of Pennsylvania, where his father worked as an independent logger.
The dog, a pug named Tucket, was a natural clown who regularly entertained his affluent family at its home in Philadelphia.
And the doctor, Fred Epstein, was a world-famous pediatric neurosurgeon in New York.
Their lives all changed in profound ways.
It started with Tucket. He was 8 years old in 1997 and lived with Bonnie and Peter McCausland, and two of his fellow pugs, Nannie and Crosby. Bonnie McCausland was the one who chose Tucket from his litter. "He was so cute I couldn't not hold him," she said. "And he had a particularly lively personality."
Tucket began to develop problems in 1997. He had serious trouble walking. His hind legs dragged behind him. "He was losing his balance," said Peter McCausland. "He had difficulty getting up steps. It looked like he had been injured -- hit by a car or something."
The McCauslands could afford good care for Tucket because Peter is president and chief executive officer of a successful industrial gas company. Tucket's veterinarian, Nancy Brown, ordered X-rays and myleograms to try to pinpoint the troubles with his hind legs. "The pattern of disease didn't typify anything we knew of," she said.
So Brown took a chance and consulted a friend of hers on the human side of medicine -- Dr. Fred Epstein, a world-famous pediatric neurosurgeon at the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. Epstein took care of children, not dogs. But he agreed to look at scans of Tucket's spine and believed he saw an abnormality that could cause the dog to lose the use of his legs. He got a group of other high-priced hospital specialists to take a look at the scans.
Epstein was well-known for an unconventional approach to his work that led to breakthroughs in the treatment of spinal tumors. He had an exuberant personality, a mellow voice and an expressive face with a high forehead topped by an unruly shock of white hair. The nameplate on his office door read, simply, "Fred."
At the time, he recalled that his head nurse stood up at the conference he had called to look at Tucket's scans. "She says, 'Fred, I've got one thing to say to you.' And I said, 'What?' She said, 'This dog is not coming here.' And she sat down."
But the wheels in Epstein's brain were spinning because he knew there was the possibility that the dog could help his favorite cause. Epstein was the founder of the "Save One Child" fund, which brought children from around the world to Beth Israel for spinal and neurosurgery that their families couldn't otherwise afford.
He proposed a bargain: If the McCauslands made a donation that was large enough to pay for a child's surgery, Epstein would perform spinal surgery on their dog.
