Despite suffering loss, Moseley deserves encore as starter
ST. LOUIS As it is in real estate, the top priority in pitching is location.

Velocity is nice, but as Johnny Bench liked to say, a big league hitter can "time a bullet" if he knows where to find it. Ballpark dimensions can influence your success, but the precise pitcher can cope even if he's flinging from a foxhole.
Locate your fastball as Dustin Moseley did Sunday and it doesn't much matter that the wind is howling and that Albert Pujols is hitting. Do it consistently and your spot starts can lead to steady work.
In dropping a 2-0 decision to St. Louis' lethal left-hander Jaime Garcia on Sunday, Moseley made an effective first pitch for a regular role in the Padres' starting rotation. Though he earned this start essentially by default, because Mat Latos has opened the season on the disabled list, Moseley probably earned another by holding the Cardinals to four singles and one run over seven innings — the second-longest start of his career.
The sample is small, but this was an effort deserving of an encore. Twice a free agent within the past 14 months, the 29-year-old Moseley is unlikely to be on the brink of a major breakthrough, but he looks like a guy who can, at the least, keep you close and eat up innings. In a pitcher-friendly division, he might easily exceed expectations.
"He was in control of the game," catcher Nick Hundley said Sunday. "He threw his sinker to both sides of the plate really well, kept them honest in and threw all three of his off-speed pitches for strikes. Any time you can do that, you're going to have a good day, and he did. He threw the ball great."
Fresh from the claustrophobic confines of Yankee Stadium (site of seven home runs Sunday afternoon), Moseley figures to benefit from the more conducive conditions of the National League West, and comparatively leaner lineups than he faced last year in the American League East.
One popular theory is that those pitchers able to escape places like Boston or the Bronx regain the confidence to challenge hitters and consequently wind up walking fewer of them.
"I've heard that theory before and (the AL East) is a very difficult division to pitch to," Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley said. "But if you're good, you're good; and he's good. For a guy like him, it's (about) executing pitches. It's not really pitching against hitters"
That said, in parts of five American League seasons, Moseley averaged slightly more than one base on balls every three innings and compiled a composite earned-run average of 5.28. Sunday, he walked only one, faced the minimum 12 batters over the first four innings, and was able to retire five different Cardinals on the first pitch.

Journeyman defined for those who don't know
Lately, a lot of folks ( and not just a few ) have misused the term journeyman to almost embarrassing proportions. I have recently heard some posters refer to fighters like Quarry, Ellis, Bonavena, Shavers and Ken Norton as journeyman. This is a horribly incorrect use of the word.
I decided to pull up the definition from the Boxrec Boxing Encyclopedia.
Here is the link if you care to type it in, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it so that you can just click on it.
A journeyman is a boxer who has little or no expectation of winning his fights, thus he is said to be " along for the journey ". They are generally competent boxers who posses solid boxing skills and or the ability to absorb punishment. Often they were aspiring novices or even prospects, but were defeated and found to have limitations which relegated them to the role of Journeyman.
TO Mcgrain:
You slapped me on the hand for calling James Braddock a journeyman. This article continues by making references to him and others:
There have been boxers who were considered journeyman, who have gone on to have success in boxing.
Jim Braddock- A former #1 ranked light heavyweight contender, he had been relegated to journeman status before propelling himself to win the heavy weight title from Max Baer...
Enjoy fellas!!!!!

POCATELLO — Blackfoot High School government teacher Holly Kartchner was surprised when her name was left off the program of the Idaho State Journal's Business and Achievement Awards on Thursday.
She was more surprised a few minutes later when she was named as the 2011 recipient of the Education/K-12 award.
"I believe we need to fight the arrogance of ignorance," she said in accepting the award. "It's my responsibility to destroy that arrogance of ignorance and let (her students) become the community members she wants to be."
MORELAND — In recognition of National Fire Prevention Week, firemen from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) spoke to students at Moreland Elementary Thursday.
"In case of a fire in your house, what are you supposed to do?" asked INL fireman Todd Leavitt.
"Get out," was the reply.
"What if you can't get out of your room? Are you supposed to hide in a closet or under the bed?"
"No," the students replied.
"When we come crawling in to find you, slap the floor hard so we can hear you," Leavitt said.
"What if your clothes are on fire?" he asked.
BLACKFOOT — Blackfoot School Board Trustee Bryce Lloyd submitted his resignation at the board meeting Thursday and Dr. Taylor Johansen was appointed to fill the vacancy.
In tending his resignation, Lloyd said he didn't have the time to devote to the school board and to his professional and personal obligations. Lloyd said he spoke to his constituents in Groveland to receive recommendations on who should be appointed to fill the Zone 4 vacancy. He recommended Johansen, who was approved on a 4-1 vote with Trustee Pete Lipovac casting the dissenting vote.
BLACKFOOT — The Blackfoot School Board of Trustees denied the charter request for the Idaho STEM Academy at their meeting Thursday and referred the decision to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission. The decision was unanimous.
Mark Fisk, a member of the founding board of the Idaho STEM Academy, said the decision was not unexpected.
"We'll move forward," he said. "We're confident we will be chartered."
Whether the charter high school, which will cater to science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, will be able to open next year is unclear.

Fernando Alonso does not think COTA debut will help level the playing field
Ferrari star thinks drivers and teams will adapt quickly to new track
By Mike Wise in Austin. Last Updated: 16/11/12 10:17am

Bet with Sky Bet
Fernando Alonso does not think the fact that this weekend's U.S. Grand Prix takes place at a brand new track will give him a particular opportunity to hit back at Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel has taken the World Championship by the scruff of the neck after winning four of the last five races and currently holds a 10-point lead over Alonso in the Drivers' Championship.
His performances have come as Red Bull made a decisive step forward in the development of their RB8 car. They were also in locations - Singapore, Japan, Korea and India - where the defending World Champions have always performed well.
They are all-but guaranteed a third straight constructors' title this weekend but Alonso, the only man who can deny Vettel a third straight drivers' crown, scotched the suggestion that F1's first visit to the Circuit of The Americas might present him and Ferrari with a more level playing field.
"I think it's not an advantage to be at a new circuit. I think we all will adapt very quickly in the first practice and we all have the simulators we use to prepare for the race. So I think it's more or less the same as any other race," he said.
"Nothing really changed in terms of preparation and approach for the weekend. Maximum concentration, maximum effort from everybody in the team.

"Preparing some new parts that we are bringing (to) every grand prix and hopefully that we can test them tomorrow and have some good feedback about that."
Alonso did, however, say that getting as many laps in as possible during Friday practice was important to try and understand the wiles of the brand new 5.513km layout.
"(We'll) try to do our very good, smooth Friday, good test and here, maybe more important than some other circuits, to do a lot of laps, to learn the racing lines, the possibilities and some...maybe tricks...that the circuit can have," he added.
Tyre supplier Pirelli is helping teams by providing them with an extra set of hard compound tyres (nominated this weekend along with the medium rubber) to be used on Friday.

Step one - Diagnose. Used a clamp-on ammeter around the igniter lead to check if 3.6 amps or greater were present during ignition. Only about 2.5 amps were measured, indicating that the igniter was bad.Step two - Ordered the part.Installation - Removed the racks and bottom oven compartment cover plates, exposing the igniter/burner assembly. Removed the bottom drawer, cut the wires of the existing igniter (leaving plenty of wire left for the new one). Removed the igniter/burner assembly through the oven compartment. Removed the old igniter from the burner, installed the new one. Re-seated the igniter/burner assembly, routing the wires appropriately. Stripped the existing leads (cut in previous step), spliced the new leads in, soldered the connection (soldering is optional). Taped up the splices with electrician's tape. Turned on the oven to verify that the new igniter glowed and the burner lit. Turned off the oven and waited for the burner to cool. Replaced the bottom cover plates and rack.Final step - Baked some bread.

My ideas: A gundam and maybe DBZ if they can afford it, note: Nicktoons and 4kids only own DBZ Kai and GT, not the original, uncut DBZ so YAY!
Also maybe they should show stuff from the vault like BTAS, Batman Beyond and Justice League and such

RS Barcelona Foosball + Conran ROJO
In addition to my growing porcelain fascination this ICFF, i have also been noticing a lot of Foosball Tables going more high design. During the Conran Shop's Rojo opening (incredible! Definitely worth how wet i got in the rain to get there)... i came across the bright red metal RS Barcelona RS #2 foosball table designed by Rafael Rodriguez... and then saw the white one downstairs in the shop... the silver one at ICFF... and the coat rack versions in both the Conran Shop and ICFF. Really what stands out about this one is the bright metal frames and the arms and expressions on the player! Their faces scream "pass it to me! pass it to me!" with that excited/alert look... and their arms make them look like they are always on the go... which is admittedly, even funnier on a coat rack. There is also a hilarious stumpy super-buff silver and black set of players on another table i found at the Conran Shop that you've got to check out on the next page (and maybe one of you knows who made that one?)... see all the pics on the next page!

+ - British Village Requests Removal from GPS Maps-> 6
Submitted by longacre
longacre writes: "The tiny village of Barrow Gurney, England has asked GPS map publisher Tele Atlas to remove them from the company's maps. The reason: truck drivers using GPS navigation devices are being directed to drive through the town despite the roads being too narrow for sidewalks, and causing numerous accidents. At the root of the problem lies the fact that the navigation maps used by trucks are the same as those used by passenger cars, which don't contain data on road width or no truck zones. Tele Atlas says they will release truck-appropriate databases at some point, but until then they advise local governments to make use of a technology dating back to the Romans: road signs."

text: The PSP had all the makings to be the best handheld ever but fell to the simpleness of the Nintendo DS. When Nintendo made it's DS the DS Lite sales shot up around the world. Sony answered by making the slow selling PSP smaller and thinner to match, did it work? Well a little but certainly nowhere near the sales of the DS. The DS Lite then becomes the DSi. PSP's answer is to become the PSP Go, a driveless, cartridgeless affair where downloads were your format of choice. Well that was a flop too. Thing is the PSP isn't actually that bad a machine firstly I think they were a little pricey to start with, secondly although it had a lot of exclusive games none seemed to have the draw or originality of the DS's New Super Mario Brothers, Brain Training or Professor Layton and the PSP always seemed to be a bit late with it's answer.

Milwaukee police will return to a Menomonee Falls landfill on Monday to continue searching for clues in the disappearance of Kelly Dwyer, a police spokesman said Friday.
Dwyer, 27, of Milwaukee was reported missing Oct. 12 when she didn't show up for her shift at work at Lululemon in the Third Ward. Investigators began searching the landfill Oct. 26. Since her disappearance, volunteers have posted fliers and billboards with her photo around the city and surrounding area.
One of the last people to see Dwyer before she went missing was Kris Zocco, who told investigators that he and Dwyer were together the evening of Oct. 10 when the two purchased and used cocaine, according to court records.
Zocco is in Milwaukee County Jail on unrelated drug and child pornography charges. His bail is set at $250,000. He has not been charged in connection with Dwyer's disappearance.

NEW ORLEANS — The Colorado kid went all Champ Bailey on Denver.
On the final possession of Wednesday's game, the Hornets' Jason Smith intercepted Corey Brewer's inbounds pass, securing the victory. It capped off a nice night for the former Platte Valley High School standout — 10 points on 5-for-6 shooting, in addition to four rebounds in 25 minutes.
Even before the game, Denver coach George Karl praised the power forward.
"I liked him before he got hurt, and I like him now. He's gotten to become a very, very efficient shooter," Karl said of Smith, who starred in college at Colorado State. "He's not a 3-point shooter yet, but I think someday he might become one. And he's always been an efficient paint player from the standpoint of getting hustle rebounds and knowing how to play underneath the defense. He's gotten to be a very effective player. I think he's going to be a 10-year NBA player."
Gallo update. Danilo Gallinari, still out with a broken left thumb, has begun running and doing some shooting but said it still hurts to catch passes. He doesn't have a date circled for his return, but said as soon as he can withstand the pain, he'll play. Gallinari is averaging 15.2 points per game.
Rookie gets clock. With Gallinari out — and Wilson Chandler too (groin) — Karl called on seldom-used rookie Jordan Hamilton for 16 minutes Wednesday. The Texas product finished with seven points (3-for-8 shooting), five rebounds and three assists.
"I just thought he was in a good rhythm," Karl said. "We were searching for someone to make some shots. I thought he did a good job for us. And athletically and rebounding he gave us some sound efforts, so I gave him an opportunity."

Thank you so much to everyone who came to my set at the Capitol Hill Block Party! Here are some photos from the show taken by Jim Toohey of NadaMucho.com. And here is a great review of the show by KEXP!
Thank you so much to everyone who came and enjoyed our show in Occidental Park last week. It was a day to remember! Photo by John Westrock.
We are teaming up with the City of Seattle and Mill Street Sessions to perform a FREE and ALL AGES outdoor show in Occidental Park in downtown Seattle as part of their ARTSparks summer art series. We perform from 12:00-1:00 PM and would love to see you there!
Last week I had the pleasure of doing an interview for the KEXP blog. You can check out the full interview here. Enjoy!
Meagan Grandall, the talented songstress behind the Seattle band Lemolo, is in the midst of recording a new album, fresh off the heals of The Kaleidoscope. Equipped with one of the sweetest voices in the city, coupled with enough mystery to drive Sherlock Holmes batty, Grandall is working late, late nights to keep up with her musical deadlines. We caught up with her to chat about her new album, her favorite place to visit on tour, fish tacos, and more!
Word is you're working on a new album. How far into the process are you? What's been the biggest surprise with this one? Do you already have a favorite song?
I'm indeed working on a new album, which is really exciting. I'm probably about halfway through tracking, so the songs are starting to take shape but there is still a lot of work to do. I'm planning on adding some more layers than I did on the last album, so when it comes time for that it will be really fun to experiment with the sounds.
I started working with a wonderful new drummer, Emily Westman, last fall. So her touch on the record has probably been the biggest surprise so far. She has brought a lot to the table with her drum beats and has helped me bring my new songs to life more than I ever thought possible.
Right now I have about 8 favorite songs. They are my babies so it is hard to pick just one.
What did you learn from the time between releasing your last record, The Kaleidoscope, to working on the new album, both musically and in the world of selling the idea of the music to folks?
I am continually learning so much about the world of music. When I started my band I didn't know anything about the music industry, and while I feel I've learned a lot since then there is also a lot more to know. I think the most valuable lesson I learned through the release of The Kaleidoscopeis how long the whole process takes. With the first album I underestimated how much time it would take to record and release the record, so I ended up feeling a lot of stress and pressure to finish everything in time to meet my deadline. Now I realize that I'm the only one making my deadlines, so it's important to set realistic ones that motivate me to work hard but don't kill me. I guess overall I feel more relaxed with the whole process, which makes sense because now it's my second time around. Emily has also been teaching me new drum terminology, like the word "flam".
You seem to be putting in long hours. What does this involve? Are you tracking the majority of the instruments? How late do you find yourself staying up? What's the single best part about all this?
Recording an album is definitely a lot of hard work, and self-funding it makes it even harder. Since I'm paying for everything myself I'm often trying to get as much done in a day as possible. And that can make for some really long days. The last day of recording guitars I was recording until five in the morning. I'm just grateful to be working with a producer (Shawn Simmons) who is willing to put in long hours with me to help me stick to my budget. I think in one five-day span of guitar and piano tracking we worked for something like 70 hours. I couldn't move my hands the whole the next day!
Do you support the music with a day job? How do you balance this?
Since graduating college and forming the band in 2009, I have been working on the art of carving out time and living cheaply. I really wanted to be able to dedicate most of my time to working on my music and business, so it was important for me to not spend all my days working for someone else. In order to make that possible, I realized I needed to have minimal expenses. The first thing I did was move into my mom's house in Poulsbo, and I am still living there now. I have my studio/practice space in her basement, and the neighbors are really supportive so I can jam into the night. For the first three years of the band, I did part-time accounting for a school supply company, and now I nanny 1-2 days a week for my two year old nephew which is so much more fun. The rest of my time is spent on Lemolo. You know that expression "It takes a village to raise a child"? I think it takes a village to start a band.
Aside from music, are there other outlets for your creativity?
My main creative outlet has definitely always been music. I get inspired by a lot of other things, like movies, hiking, sailing, running, traveling. But the way I communicate that inspiration best is through music.
Where do you like to hang outside of the studio? Favorite place to grab a drink or a bite to eat in Seattle?
I have always loved hanging out in the International District and eating at places like Green Leaf and Tamarind Tree. And I could spend an entire day in Uwajimaya.
What's been the best place you've visited on tour, either a whole city, or a specific venue? Favorite tour memory?
The city I have loved the most while traveling on tour so far was San Diego. If I had to live anywhere else that would probably be my second choice. I found the people there to be really down to earth and easy going, and I am a sun lover so I could definitely get used to that. My favorite tour memory was when two San Diego boys invited us to go sailing and film us playing a song on their boat. They paid us in fish tacos, which made the whole thing even better.
When do you plan to release the new record?
I haven't decided on or announced a release date yet for the new record. I hope to have it finished in the next couple of months, but will most likely wait until it's finished before I announce anything. See? I'm learning!
I'll be taking a break from recording my new album to perform at the Fisherman's Village Music Festival on May 17th! This is the first year of the festival and it is being put on my the Everett Music Initiative. As you can see, the lineup is amazing. I'll be looking forward to bringing my music to Everett and I hope to see you there!
I am so proud to share a name with Lemolo Baggage. I was recently gifted two Lemolo bags to use while traveling on tour, and they are the most beautiful bags I have ever owned. Lemolo Baggage is a small Portland company that makes high quality weather-proof bags. They are made in small-run and limited edition batches, and it is evident that each one is made with love. You can visit the Lemolo Baggage website to see all of their wonderful work. A special thank you to Lemolo Baggage for letting me sport your wares!
Enjoy! Meagan

Sewer, Gas & Electric is the exuberant follow-up to Matt Ruff's cult classic and critically acclaimed debut Fool on the Hill.
High above Manhattan android and human steelworkers are constructing a new Tower of Babel for billionaire Harry Gant, as a monument to humanity's power to dream. In the festering sewers below a darker game is afoot: a Wall Street takeover artist has been murdered, and Gant's crusading ex-wife, Joan Fine, has been hired to find out why. The year is 2023, and Ayn Rand has been resurrected and bottled in a hurricane lamp to serve as Joan's assistant; an eco-terrorist named Philo Dufrense travels in a pink-and-green submarine designed by Howard Hughes; a Volkswagen Beetle is possessed by the spirit of Abbie Hoffman; Meisterbrau, a mutant great white shark, is running loose in the sewers beneath Times Square; and a one-armed 181-year-old Civil War veteran joins Joan and Ayn in their quest for the truth. All of whom, and many more besides, are caught up in a vast conspiracy involving Walt Disney, J. Edgar Hoover, and a mob of homicidal robots.

Publishers WeeklyStarred Review.
The Kunhardts use the family's vast collection of Lincoln photographs, started in the late 19th century by Frederick Hill Meserve, combined with concise commentary and valuable first-hand accounts, to illustrate Lincoln's postmortem life. The Kunhardts trace the circuitous route by which the assassinated head of state morphed into a cherished figure as much of myth as of history. The profusely and beautifully illustrated volume-the companion to a PBS special to air in winter 2009-is loaded with rarities: never before seen letters, photos from the 1901 unearthing and re-interment of Lincoln's remains, and first-hand reminiscences from numerous Lincoln intimates, all of them rich with telling detail about the man. Fascinating anecdotes abound, such as Robert Lincoln's shunning of the dedication of the memorial housing the presumed Lincoln birth cabin, which he said commemorated nothing but the "degradation and uncleanliness" of his father's humble beginnings. All in all, the Kunhardts' book represents a visual and literary feast for all devotees of the sacred national idol that is Lincoln. 910 color photos and illus.

�Over the past month, we saw an increasing number of cases of rotavirus,� added Dr. Robin LaCroix, medical director of pediatric infectious diseases at Greenville Health System.
�There has been an increase for sure. And it�s not something I�ve seen as much in prior years,� said Dr. Jeremy Byrd, a pediatrician with Heritage Pediatrics & Internal Medicine in Simpsonville.
�One of my sons presented a few weeks back with severe abdominal pain where the school nurse had to roll him out in a wheelchair,� he added.
Because the onset is so sudden, parents sometimes worry that it could be appendicitis or another more serious condition, he said.
And while it is common in children, adults haven�t been spared.
�We have seen so much of it. And�people are calling with symptoms too,� said Dr. Joanne Skaggs, an internist with Cross Creek Internal Medicine, who speculates there is probably 50 percent more than at this time last year.
It�s often difficult to determine whether the condition is viral or something more serious in adults as well, said Skaggs.
�The people we really worry about are those who have a lot of other issues, diabetes, heart disease, kidney issues,� she said. �If they can�t keep fluids down, they can get very ill, dehydrated and end up in the hospital.�
Fever and pain
Rotavirus causes gastroenteritis � an inflammation of the stomach and intestines � with nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And for most healthy people, it lasts a few days.
But in children, and adults with underlying health conditions, it can cause dehydration, leading to more serious symptoms, even seizures, and hospitalization, Byrd said.
Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide, killing more than 500,000 children younger than 5 every year, CDC reports.
In the U.S., prior to the development of vaccine in 2006, rotavirus caused more than 400,000 physician visits, more than 200,000 ER visits, and up to 70,000 hospitalizations � and 20 to 60 deaths in children � a year, according to CDC.
About one in 70 children need hospitalization for intravenous fluids, CDC reports.
�In 2005, when we were not giving the vaccine, we saw kids left and right in the hospital for this,� said Byrd. �Since the vaccine, we�ve seen a dramatic decrease in that.�
While the vaccine, which is oral, is not required, it can be given to babies at 2 months, 4 months and 6 months, said LaCroix.
While an older vaccine caused a serious intestinal complication, it was pulled from the market, she said, adding that the two new vaccines have been proven safe and effective.
And though even vaccinated children can get rotavirus more than once because there are different strains of the disease, subsequent infections are usually less severe, CDC reports.
Another culprit
Vaccination has been so successful that the most common cause for pediatric hospitalization for a GI illness is now norovirus, which is also up this year, LaCroix said.
They are two different viruses, but cause similar symptoms, said LaCroix, adding that CDC is also reporting an upswing in norovirus, which has been linked to cruise ships.
�A lot of times we don�t know exactly what the viral infection is,� Byrd said. �It can be a little bit of a guessing game as to whether it�s rotavirus or norovirus.�
Why these bugs are on the rise is still a mystery, the doctors said.
While rotavirus typically peaks in the winter, the spike of the past few weeks is not only unusual, but producing more cases than normal, LaCroix said, adding that the colder than normal spring may have played a role.
Both can spread quickly in areas where people gather, like schools and nursing homes, Skaggs said. And often, kids bring it home from daycare to their parents.
�A lot of people here getting it have some sort of exposure to children,� she said. �We have four children in daycare and they�ve all had it. I�ve had it as well.�
Because these are viruses, treatment consists mainly of supportive care and a clear liquid diet, including plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, the doctors said.
Medicines such as anti-nausea drugs can be given, but are easier for adults to take, said Skaggs. As the vomiting and diarrhea wane, food can be added slowly, although it can sometimes cause symptoms to reappear, she said.
Rotavirus typically starts with fever and vomiting, with diarrhea beginning a day or two later and lasting eight to 10 days, LaCroix said. And the virus can be spread for almost two weeks.
And both viruses are typically spread by the fecal-oral route � that is, through contaminated food or water, or by touching contaminated objects such as door knobs, toys, shopping carts and keyboards, and then putting your hands in your mouth, she said.
�Food handlers serve as an efficient way to transmit it,� said LaCroix.
�And how many times do you grab a quick bite, or eat something at your desk and you haven�t washed your hands and you�ve touched ten door knobs between then and when you�ve eaten?�
The best prevention against GI bugs like rotavirus and norovirus is good hand hygiene, said LaCroix.
Washing with soap and water or using disinfectants with at least 70 percent alcohol are effective at killing the virus, she said.
Carter said she had never heard of rotavirus until her children came down with it.
But now she makes sure the children wash their hands regularly, tries to keep common surfaces like door knobs clean, and monitor the kids so they don�t put their hands in their mouths � though that can be hard with 5-year-old twins.
�You just got to keep them washing their hands,� she said.

BMI Names Taylor Swift Songwriter of the Year, Bill Sherrill Icon; Catherine Britt's Video for "Sweet Emmylou"
- Twenty-year-old Taylor Swift became the youngest songwriter of the year award winner at last night's BMI Awards. She also became the first songwriter to win song of the year three years in a row; this year's win was for her co-write with Liz Rose on "You Belong With Me."
- In addition to his benefit concerts in Nashville, Garth Brooks scheduled new Las Vegas shows for Dec., Jan, and Feb. The new dates come with news of higher prices as well — $100 higher than before. After taxes and service charges, fans will be paying a grand total of $253.
- Todd Snider is going live for his next album, The Storyteller, due out on Feb. 1.
- Lyle Lovett played his "guts out" at Gruene Hall last night. Austin Music Source's Patrick Beach has the review.
- Mickey Newbury was only in Nashville for less than a decade, but Houston Press' William Michael Smith says he altered the musical landscape like few others have ever done:
Outside the semi-closed world of Nashville's Music Row and a bevy of music geeks and fanatics that includes former No Depression editor Peter Blackstock, few people recognize Newbury or grasp the over-arching, almost unfathomable influence of this old Houston boy on modern country music.
- Ralph Emery is already in the Country Music Hall of Fame and last Saturday he became a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame.
- USA Today posted a video interview with Miranda Lambert.
- Another day, another record. With 193,000 copies sold, Jason Aldean's My Kinda of Party had the most first week sales by a male vocalist in over three years.
- Performing at the CMAs makes Alan Jackson anxious:
There's not much that you can find enjoyable (laughs). That's a tough gig, man. You're keeping your fingers crossed that the microphone will be on when you step out there. The sound is kind of iffy sometimes. Sometimes it's a music industry crowd, and they're not always that happy to see you. It can make you a little anxious and it's a hard performing gig, but it's always great to be on the show. It's the biggest awards show for country music.
- Dierks Bentley had pickups haul guests up to "The Ridge" on his property last night for a special shindig to thank radio for playing his songs.
- When considering the past year in music, Country California urges you not to forget the soundtracks.
- For her appearance on Coal Miner's Daughter: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn, Paste's Andrew Leahey says Lucinda Williams slurs her way from note to note like the town drunk, and that Miranda Lambert plows duet partner Sheryl Crow into the ground on "Coal Miner's Daughter," but for the most part, the disc's highlights come from those outside the country genre.
- Carrie Underwood earned a few nominations in the People's Choice Awards. Other nominees include Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, and Keith Urban.
Country music could use more songs and performances like this:

Todd Snider's new album is out on 2/1–Happy Birthday to ME!!! (Now, someone warn Todd that bad things tend to happen on my birthday.)
I think Wynn's greed is going to kill the 'golden goose' as he's pricing out the average Garth fan from the concerts. We could have managed $250 for us to see the show, but not over $500, plus hotel, food, travel, etc.
If i closed my eyes, I would think Catherine Britt was Kasey Chambers.
$250/ticket? Will he be able to play "Friends in Low Places" with a straight face?
For Mike Parker: My understanding is that the owner of the hotel jacked up the price by $100. However, knowing Garth Brooks' penchant for having low ticket prices, I would love to get his take on the situation. Nevertheless, those shows will be sellouts as well.
NPR's Terry Gross is interviewing Loretta Lynn on Fresh Air today. Interesting stuff.
Garth is fairly shrewd… I'd imagine he, contractually, has some say in the matter. FWIW, I'm a huge fan of Garth… not only of his music, but of the way he walked away to spend time with his kids. He wouldn't deny, and has proven that he's only human, but IMO he's an extraordinary artist/father.
Then, as Keith Whitley sang…
Catherine Britt video……awesome…
I think Catherine Britt should have been holding her guitar. Here's what Catherine had to say about the song on her Aussie website:
""Sweet Emmylou was written with my good friend Rory-Lee Feek. At the time I was heartbroken and when we sat down to write I told him how I was feeling quite low and listening to old records like Emmylou's to make me feel better because through her sad songs I felt like misery had company. In many respects the song wrote itself. It's a very special song to me and one of my favorite songs that I have ever written," says Britt."
Next: I've never been able to stomach the way Lucinda Williams sings. I have some tribute albums where she contributed songs and they are usually competing with Steve Earle for worst of the lot. I'm not surprised she worked her "magic" on the Loretta Tribute album as well. At least Lucinda is consistent, consistently annoying that is…
Wow, those Jason Aldean sales numbers validate Trailer's recent "Sackpunch" article at Farce The Music where Trailer considered Jason the biggest single threat to the future of mainstream country music's integrity! Bullseye! Here's the link:
I've never grasped the "Cult of Mickey Newbury" and the spell he's cast over his subjects that lives on even far beyond the grave. OK, I just realized its primarily Texans that suffer from this affliction. That explains a lot…

Docs at odds over kids' cholesterol test guidance
"Almost all of us could do better in that area," she said.
"My kids are about to turn 9 and I'm going to have them screened," said De Ferranti, who has a family history of heart disease risks.
Experts on panels that create screening and treatment recommendations for various diseases frequently have at least some financial ties to industry.
"The problem is the people who care about this issue are doing research on it and there's no way to get research done without some involvement of industry," said De Ferranti, who has done industry-funded research herself.
The critics say there's little evidence that widespread cholesterol testing and treatment in children will reduce their chances of having later heart problems. They argue that widespread testing is costly and could cause anxiety in healthy children who don't need treatment.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute appointed the guidelines panel. Dr. Susan Shurin, the institute's acting director, said there are few qualified specialists who have no industry relationships, and that panel members were selected for their expertise.
"We got the best people in the country to do this," Shurin said.
Dr. Stephen Daniels, chairman of the guidelines panel, is pediatrics chief at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He has worked as a consultant or advisory board member for Abbott Laboratories, Merck and Schering-Plough, now part of Merck, and co-authored the Pediatrics rebuttal.
Daniels said industry ties "were vetted during the discussions of the panel and I think really did not influence the debate."
The other rebuttal authors Drs. Brian McCrindle of the University of Toronto, whose industry ties include consulting or serving as advisory board member for Merck and Abbott; Peter Kwiterovich of Johns Hopkins, consulting or advisory board member for Merck and LipoScience; Patrick McBride, University of Wisconsin, who says he has had no relevant industry ties since 2007; and Rae-Ellen Kavey, University of Rochester, who listed no relevant financial ties.

Exactly what the title says, along with a colourful, but rather carelessly placed parasol. A sight that needless to say is not something one sees everyday. Or indeed the vast majority of days. Making the slightly surreal scene all the more special.
Tokyo: The struggle
Odd foreign mannequins in a faded Japanese fashion shop
In older parts of Tokyo, and especially out of the city itself, faded fashion shops are far more common than any big brand stockist. Businesses that are stuck in the past both in the clothes they sell, and the kinds of customers they occasionally attract.
This particular place, however, made up for any lack of visitors with the odd addition of some similarly odd foreign mannequins.
Figures that while definitely on the disturbing side, at the same time draw you in. Tempting you deeper and deeper into the shop's deceptively large interior.
All of which is perfectly safe of course, provided you don't blink.
An old Tokyo bar and its even older owner
Away from the bright lights and busy streets, Tokyo boasts a huge number of local bars, many of which are run by senior citizens. Fascinating, often grubby little places that are filled with as much character as their unflagging and friendly hosts.
And this small bar and eatery is no different, along with the added bonus of a design that blurs the ideas of inside and outside.
But age can, at times, catch up. And with all the serving and cooking that had to be done, the master began to visibly wilt.
Determined not to be defeated, however, he sneaked in a few naps during the occasional downtime.
Resulting in him still going strong when we were looking at getting the last train.
Japanese man so wasted he wet himself
Tokyo's streets may well be reasonably clean and orderly, but for the large number of people who live on them, along with those in temporary rooms one precarious rung above, they are scenes to be forgotten. Or at least attempted to be forgotten.
Tsukiji fish market pride
The sprawling, slightly ramshackle Tsukiji fish market is a place packed full of character, and characters. But, for better or worse, come November 2016 it will cease to exist, at least at its current address — the controversial re-location to Toyosu having been finally approved.
How the move will affect business, in particular the market stalls and restaurants located next to it, remains to be seen, but presumably what won't be dented is the obvious pride of the people who work there.

Iraqi election commission acknowledges fraud
BAGHDAD Iraqi officials acknowledged Sunday that there was some fraud in last month's provincial elections but not enough to force a new vote in any province.
Faraj al-Haidari, chairman of the election commission, said final results of the Jan. 31 voting would be certified and announced this week. Voters chose members of ruling provincial councils in an election seen as a dress rehearsal for parliamentary balloting by the end of the year.
The U.S. hailed the absence of major violence during the elections, expressing hope they would help cement security gains of the past year.
Despite the drop in violence, a U.S. soldier was killed Sunday by a roadside bomb in southern Iraq, the U.S. announced. At least three other people were killed by attacks Sunday in other parts of the country, according to police.
Preliminary election results from last month's balloting were announced Feb. 5 and showed Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's ticket swept to victory over Shiite religious parties in Baghdad and southern Iraq – a strong endorsement of his security efforts.
Al-Haidari told The Associated Press that ballots in more than 30 polling stations nationwide were nullified because of fraud but that was not enough to declare the election a failure.
He gave no further details. But one official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not supposed to talk about the vote to media, said the most widespread fraud appeared to have occurred in Diyala province, which has large Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish communities and an ongoing insurgency.
A coalition including the Iraqi Islamic Party, the largest Sunni political group, led in Diyala with 21.1 percent of the vote followed by a Kurdish alliance with 17.2 percent, according to preliminary results.
Al-Maliki's coalition finished fourth in Diyala with 9.5 percent.
U.S. officials have been closely watching the Diyala results for signs of friction between Arabs and Kurds, who are the biggest community in the far north of the province.
The Kurds were hoping that a strong Kurdish showing in those areas would bolster their case for incorporating parts of the province into the Kurdish self-ruled region.
In the south, al-Maliki's Dawa party and its coalition allies prevailed over their main Shiite rival, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, which has close links to Iran.
That victory was partly driven by public backlash against what many Iraqis see as undue Iranian influence in their country.
Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf on Sunday announced a ban against non-Arabic signs in the country's holy cities, saying the measure was intended to counter ones appearing in Farsi, the language spoken in Iran.
"Due to our constitution, the formal language in Iraq is Arabic as well as Kurdish," Khalaf said in the Shiite holy city of Karbala. "Therefore, the use of another language defames the faces of the holy cities."
Signs at stores in Shiite holy cities are sometimes written in Farsi as well as Arabic to attract business from the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who visit each year from Iran, which like Iraq is a predominantly Shiite country.
