In the last few weeks the world has lost a few good people and a dog.
Rest in peace Bill Doss and John Walsh. Bill I only knew through his wife and the town of Athens.
And his music.
John was a family friend who I knew since I was 12. It was 8 weeks from his cancer diagnosis to his passing.
Sugar was my sisters surprise gift to our family, she lived a great life, and died a peaceful death.
See you on the other side all of you.

SXSW is over. I completed 90% of the 10 day mission I was supposed to undertake in Austin, my last day cut short by a health situation back at home.
I have never stayed for music before, nor had I ever been to SXSW where I didn't have "artist" responsibility.
I had an amazing time, which surprised me given all the "SXSW is over" rhetoric from last year. And I get that rhetoric. One of the most common phrases you over-hear at SXSW (in both music and interactive) is "shit show."
Were there shit-shows this year? For sure there were. But the key to shit shows in Austin was to learn how to avoid them. Thankfully, due to a few developments in technology, software and my own application thereof, I made the best attempt to minimize the shit show and enjoy myself.
Here are some tips:
Over all I think this year to me was the most fun SXSW yet because I just let myself go into it without expectations, and I came out with a bit of liver damage and a lot of fun had.

Eleven years ago when I was 21 years old and a student at UC San Diego, I was running an R.E.M. fan site (Murmurs.com). Some friends in Athens one day posted that the city had started dismantling the train trestle that was on the back cover of R.E.M.'s first record Murmur. I posted the e-mail address for the mayor, made a t-shirt and ultimately the trestle was saved and over $2,500 dollars was donated by R.E.M. fans for the cause. In November of 2000 I went down to Athens, GA to present the city with a huge check.
The night before, the band called me to thank me and the community for what we had done.
So it is of some dismay that the band was misquoted in a story in the Wall Street Journal today about the train trestle. The story is that the city doesn't know what to do with the trestle now. When I was interviewed for this story, I told them that while I stepped in back in 2000, I wouldn't do so now. Politics wasn't my thing, R.E.M. isn't a band any longer and the city has more means of self-rallying than an R.E.M. fan site can or should provide. I gave it my best when I was 21, and the community did as well.
The quote in the story made it sound like the band couldn't care less. They could and did and still do. While R.E.M. isn't a band any longer, they still all as individuals and a remaining company support the town that calls them sons and they call home.
Bertis' full quote that should have been printed:
The trestle was a very important part of the imagery of the first R.E.M. album MURMUR back in 1983. Wehave always loved that image and it represented something essential about our band and our town at thetime. Over time, people have attached significance to the trestle, partly due to the association of it with ourfirst record and partly because it is a damned fine piece of design and execution, reminiscent of a bygonetime we all think we remember. We have never been on the Save The Trestle bandwagon, so to speak,figuring it might be a bit unseemly to advocate for a monument to ourselves and preferring to spend ourcharitable impulses in smaller chunks spread around a lot of places. Many have held out hope that theMurmur Trestle would become a part of a rail/trail greenway and we have certainly supported that on groundsof preservation and good alternative transportation planning. But if it is not to be, due to logistical, budgetaryand safety concerns, okay, so be it. Hope that clarifies our considered position. The people in charge of ourtown's main historical protector, the Athen-Clarke Heritage Foundation, say it most clearly in their opinion piecelast Sunday in the local paper:
meanwhile, a massive Big Box strip mall on a parking deck downtown . . .? HELL NO!
I'll be sad to see this trestle fall, if it must. I visited it when I went down to Athens to send off the band, and I have been to it many times in the years between now and 1999 when I first went to Athens. But time goes on, and the tradition of the south is for time to be visible rather than be continuously replaced by the present. I had hoped one day to go to Athens with my family and show them this trestle that their dad had helped keep up. I may not get the chance, but as the band who exposed this piece of history to the world says: "time, I can not abide."

Note: this was published in the last ever R.E.M. Fanclub Newsletter. I wrote it after I went down to Athens, GA for their final (I hate that word) release party for Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage.
I am an R.E.M. fan. For me, driving into Athens, GA is synesthetic. Heading up from the Loop on Oconee you hear songs fade in and out as you pass by landmarks. At every corner you see something or hear something that is tied to a piece of music. A Church Steeple to Gardening at Night. The train in the distance to Driver 8. Dudley Park to the entirety of Murmur.
The town is the living embodiment of the collective works of a band that, on September 21st, 2011, announced they would cease being R.E.M. and return to being John Michael Stipe, Mike Mills and Peter Buck. They were preceded in this by Bill Berry.
I came into town to celebrate the band that was. I've been going down to Athens for over a decade now, sometimes every year, sometimes a few years in between. In the last five years my visits were under the guises of a label executive. This time, it was purely as a fan and friend.
The news of R.E.M.'s disbandment wasn't a shock to me, but it still struck a blow. It's a band I dedicated more time out of my life to than I did any other pursuit. I started a fan site for them when I was 16, worked at their label. I even met my wife because of one of them. The closure of the chapter of R.E.M. was thus a closure of a part of my life, a part that I'm immensely proud of and grateful to have had, but still nostalgic for. Yet we all move on, and while I got married, got a great job, had a kid and left that job, this band has managed to consistently deliver the joyful noise that surrounded every one of my life ocassions.
As with every record since Automatic for the People, the band and the town of Athens, GA (through various charities) was holding a release party. Given that this would be the final one, I thought it as good an ocassion as any to head down south and pay my respects.
The parties were awesome. The tribute concert a joyous ramshackle affair full of friends and family (and staff) who put pretence asside to show a genuine appreciation and love for an amazing body of work. The fact that Mike Mills ("always the ham" as he said) couldn't help but run on stage at various turns was icing. The fact that a tanned and fit Bill Berry watched from the balcony with his family was sweet.
The next days two parties had a feeling of a joyous wake. It was the last time to celebrate new material from a band that had given so much for so long. Cine held the Taste of Athens charity event, while the 40 Watt Club, yet again held a listening party full of auctions, videos and fans.
But overshadowing the events was something more.
This was more than a band. While the work they produced was in the form of music, video and art: the entity of "R.E.M." transcended far beyond that.
It was family, in the way the band members parents and siblings were present, in some cases to continuously snap photos to send to them via text messages. The pride expressed not only in words, but in the obvious emotion and pride from seeing their sons and brothers on screen, on record and on stage.
It was friends, in the countless neighbors, office staff and spouses, children and towns people who came out many nights in a row to show their love.
And more than anything, it was fans. People from Europe. People with tatoos of lyrics (and band members!). Fans who knew all the words, all the demos, all the videos and all the history.
This mix of family, friends and fans was there to not just celebrate R.E.M. In a way, they were R.E.M. The band that was so much more than a band. They were a band made whole by the friends, families, fans and town that supported them.
R.E.M. is no more. The demos on my hard drive will never become songs (although I'm happy Instrumental 4 from Dublin became "A Month of Saturdays"). I will never again see them live nor feel the anticipation of the first listen to a new record or song. But we have not lost them.
R.E.M. is alive in the friends I've met. It's alive in the fans I've met. It's alive in the friendships with the staff, the band and others that I'll hold dear for the rest of my life.
The only time I became a bit choked up the entire time I was in Athens was while watching the retrospective video in Ciné. During the part that chronicled the Georgia Music Hall of Fame ceremony, there was a moment when myself and my wife Amy were on screen, smiling ear to ear and singing along. Thinking back on how fun that moment was, and all that preceeded it including how I met her made me realize that while a band can be finite, their impact never will be.
Some day my son will ask me about R.E.M. and why they meant so much to me for so long.
I won't have an answer.
They were R.E.M., and that is what they did.

I hate the phrase "resolutions" because it implies the need for resolve to do things. Plus I hate what other people like. There, I said it.
First, how did I do on 2011?
Comments Off
This was an odd year. One of those transitional years along the likes that I haven't had since the year I met Amy, started Grad School and got engaged (2002 that was).
It began like this.
I started my job at WBR in 2005 thinking, correctly, that it was a dream come true. The four years I spent as a part of Warner Bros. Records were among my best in my life. Every day I came into work with the task being "what can we invent today to make this amazing music we have even better for more people?" I had the job of inventing the future for music, and what could be more fun?
The fifth year at WMG was not as fun. I left after that. On January 28 I pulled my car out of the WBR parking lot for the last time, my car loaded with the remainder of my personal belongings and started what would end up being a longer "vacation" than I intended.
Here in are the highlights of the time between then and now.
Collapse into Now
What would be their final record, and the final one I worked for them. I was in the studio for the final days of the recording and mixing, and I heard all but one song. Here is my reaction upon hearing it.
The album was released in April. I listened to it constantly up to its release, as its 41 minutes of length made a perfect four mile run. At some point I realized that this was a swan song, and the record upset me too much to listen to anymore. I'm over that now.
February, in Kid Rock's House with Rick Rubin
I played him back Collapse Into Now
SXSW was interesting this year as I was unemployed (and yet promised to someone). I had fun, and it was the last time I was with R.E.M. as a full band together.
My uncle and aunt and my family went to Hawaii for a week and a half. My cousin was nearly a year old, and Eli nearly 2.
Begin the Begin
In July or so, I started working on a project. That project became a "job" of sorts in August and around then, the company I had promised myself to started having discussions with another company which now employs me. Complicated, yes. In the end, August, September, October, November and December were spent planning, programming, researching and writing. A fruitful and productive time.
Midway through this two things happened that made some of the good in the way of things diminish.
One was R.E.M. and two was Steve Jobs.
R.E.M. Calls it a Day
I have been an R.E.M. fan longer than I have not. I have been the R.E.M. fan for half as long as I've been on the planet earth. I knew the day that did come was coming, but it still caught me unprepared. I had an e-mail from their manager asking me to call him first thing in the morning. I did and he told me the news a few minutes before the website posted it.
I sent off a text to Mike, Michael and Peter saluting them on a great run, and thanking them for letting me be a small part of it for the last 15 years, and then dealt with the website, press, etc.
It's difficult to put into words what that day meant to me, because it would seem to be over exaggerated to some, and it trivializes it to me. It reads oddly to tell people "I have dedicated a large portion of my life to the expression of fanaticism for a band," and yet, that's the truth. When they cease to be, a portion of my life goes with it.
In the end: I have great friends in the band, their staff and amongst fans. I credit the work I did with and for them with more than I can summarize in a blog post, and I know that they did what was right, not what was easy or expected. For 31 glorious years.
Steve Jobs
Another day we knew was coming. I have no need to lionize the man, nor excuse what he did and didn't do during his lifetime. We are all allowed heroes, no matter how flawed, and their passing takes a part of us that was to their credit with them, however small or large that part may be.
And Now 2012
It is nearly 2012 now. Lets show those kids how to do it fine. Fine.

It was my job to empty the pan under the icebox. No matter where I was, I had an uncanny sense to get home and empty the pan. One day I ran home to perform my duty. I raised the hinged door. Im really in big trouble now, Id forgotten to place the pan! Mom was watching and told me to get on my knees and look under. Dad (Edward Enoch Wadley) had bored a hole in the floor and ran a small rubber hose. Wow, you cant get much smarter than that!

In 2011, at the request of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Committee on National Statistics at the National Research Council (NRC) appointed the Panel on Survey Options for Estimating the Flow of Unauthorized Crossings at the U.S.–Mexican Border to provide guidance on the use of surveys and other methodologies to estimate the number of unauthorized crossings at the U.S.–Mexico border. This report represents the final product of the panel.
The panel held its first in-person meeting (in conjunction with a public workshop) in November 2011. It held a second in-person meeting in January 2012. Several panel members participated in a field trip to the Tucson and San Diego sectors of the U.S.–Mexico border prior to the January meeting and had an opportunity to meet with U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents, observe the processing of apprehended migrants in the Tucson sector, tour the Nogales and the Chula Vista sections of the border fence, and see the remote sensing facility in the San Diego sector. These panel members were encouraged to ask questions about all aspects of border enforcement and received valuable information from USBP agents. The panel held its final in-person meeting in March 2012. In May 2012, several panel members traveled to Tijuana, Mexico, where they were hosted by researchers at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (COLEF) and learned about data collection for the Survey of Migration at the Northern Border (EMIF-N).
This report would not have been possible without the contributions of many people. Special thanks go to the members of the panel, who dedicated time, thought, and energy to the report. The panel worked very well together and, due to its professional diversity, was well-positioned to address

Cooperation between customs authorities and business organisations of the Member States
To consolidate the already cooperative relationship between the customs authorities of the Member States and business organisations in combating drug trafficking.
Joint Action 96/698/JHA of 29 November 1996, adopted by the Council on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty of the European Union, on cooperation between customs authorities and business organisations in combating drug trafficking [Official Journal L 322 of 12.12.1996].
In order to consolidate the already cooperative relationship between customs authorities of the business organisations operating in the European Union in combating drug trafficking, Member States will establish or further develop Memoranda of Understanding programmes at national level under the guidelines laid down in this joint action and will invite participation in such programmes.
Memoranda of Understanding between customs authorities and business organisations may contain, but need not be confined to, provisions in respect of the following:
- the exchange of contact names in customs and in the signatory organisation;
- the provision to customs, by the signatory, of advance cargo or passenger data as appropriate;
- access by customs to the signatory's information systems;
- assessment by customs of the signatory's security procedures;
- development and implementation of plans to improve such security;
- checking of newly recruited staff by the signatory;
- provision by customs of training for the signatory's staff.
Customs authorities will periodically review the operation of national Memoranda of Understanding programmes and will also review the implementation of individual Memoranda of Understanding and, in agreement with the signatories, adapt them as necessary to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Member States will notify the Council Secretariat of the measures they have taken to implement the provisions of this joint action one year after its entry into force and thereafter as requested by the Presidency.
Member States may at their discretion extend the scope of Memoranda of Understanding established under the programmes referred to at 1 to cover other offences for which the customs authorities are competent in addition to drug trafficking.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
If sung ironically, Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" might make an effective protest song akin to those on Sleater-Kinney's recent album One Beat (Kill Rock Stars). Like the Clash albums it draws inspiration from, One Beat is ideologically nonconformist and musically adventurous. It expresses the familiar post-9/11 sadness, but also rails against civil-liberties infractions, joining Public Enemy in the small group of doggedly antiwar attaxploitation artists. Sleater-Kinney's lyrics sometimes suffer from the stiltedness common to agitpop. ("But are we innocent, paragons of good?/Is our guilt erased by the pain that we've endured?" Those are good questions, and bad lyrics.) But their polemics are tempered by lyrical and vocal playfulness as well as the band's precise, galvanizing sonic wallop. Especially effective is "Step Aside," in which singer Corin Tucker sets up her soapbox ("disassemble your discrimination!") on a wonderfully imagined Sixties dance floor, punctuating the activism with loopy jive ("shake a tail for peace and love") like a politicized but just as fun Martha Reeves.
Some pundits have complained that 9/11 songs arrived too soon. But reflecting the culture and the political climate is one of the things songwriters do: Thank goodness the job doesn't belong just to editorialists but also to senescent rockers, cowboy crooners, and punk-rock housewives. If anything, it's too soon for pop to ignore 9/11. Sure, great music doesn't require profundity or timeliness. But non-country radio's obliviousness has been vexing this past year, especially as the chasm between its business-as-usual frivolity and the severity of current events becomes particularly pronounced.
The best 9/11 songs are both easy and risky: They grab attention and drive sales, but in doing so, they also expose their authors as saps or dissenters. In attaxploitation's drive to exceed the self and reach out to the listener, the genre sacrifices art-for-art's-sake pretense for magnanimity and civic engagement. And that ought to be a lot closer to the American way than Toby Keith's giddy ass kicking.

We won't officially see the Giulietta - Alfa Romeo's 147 replacement - until the Geneva show in March.
But a teasy promotional video for the Giulietta has surfaced on the internet, giving us a decent look at the Golf-sized hatch.
The Giulietta will be launched this summer in the UK as a five-door - no three-door variant is planned - with a range of all-turbocharged engines ranging from a 120bhp petrol to Alfa's 170bhp diesel. We should see a 230bhp 'Cloverleaf' hot hatch variant some time in 2011.
For now, though, take a look at the weirdly overlit promo video and let us know what you think of the Giulietta. A quick warning: if you're not a fan of flashing lights, or you've just downed a treble espresso, you might want to steer clear - the editing could be described as 'schizophrenic'.
Oh, and watch out for our favourite subtitle, around the 25-second mark. 'I'm your Alfa Ego.' Surely that's what they should have called the Giulietta? The Alfa Ego: it's got a good ring to it...
Video: Giulietta gets teasy

TUESDAY, March 20 (HealthDay News) -- The memory blips and distractible moments that women say they experience during menopause may be as real as the hot flashes and poor sleep, a new study suggests.
Researchers gave women who said they were experiencing "menopause fog" a series of cognitive tests to see how well their abilities matched their complaints. Sure enough, the women who felt they had more memory problems were also the ones who did not keep track of information or maintain their focus as well.
"The main point of this study is that women are really good monitors. If a woman says, 'I'm having memory problems,' she probably is," said study co-author Pauline Maki, director of Women's Mental Health Research in the department of psychiatry at University of Illinois at Chicago.
On the other hand, people with age-related mental decline do not usually identify the problem, suggesting the memory issues in this study are not just because the women are getting older, Maki added.
The study, published in March in the journal Menopause, could help women and their doctors appreciate the reality of menopause fog. "I think some attribute it to, for example, poor sleep because of hot flashes, or poor mood, and that's why it's helpful to have these analyses," Maki said.
Previous research has found that about two-thirds of women going through menopause describe memory problems.
The current study involved 75 women who rated their memory performance based on factors like how often they forgot details and how serious their forgetfulness was. Researchers also gathered information about the women's overall health, mood and hormone levels.
The women in the study were going through an early stage of menopause called perimenopause, meaning they were having less frequent periods and beginning to experience symptoms of menopause. The participants were between 40 an

I am pleased with the rug in every way, with the sole exception of its continual shedding, which is characteristic of wool rugs in general. Near daily vacuuming minimizes the problem; I just wish I didn't have to do this! Otherwise it's terrific. Size was just as listed, colors true to picture.Read More
Upon receiving the rug I loved it until I unrolled it to find many flaws in the braided. Had to return the rug and purchased a different manufacturer.Read More
Nice rug for the money. Color as other reviews mentioned does have olive green. The olive was a plus for me. This is a nice rug for the money but does not compare to my "OLD" wool braid rugs. I have a Boston Terrier who "hikes like a football" his toys and his nails snag the rug. So the weave while very soft and great on you feet, is not a tight weave. Would probably not notice if not for the dog, Am keeping both! Rug flatten right out with roll curve turned towards floor and quick vacum. Super fast shipping. Also I bought 3 rugs different size and 4 chair pads and all the same color and everything matched perfect.Read More

This question is about my son but I thought perhaps I would get more response in the general celiac community vs the parenting forum as this deals with the brain, abnormal MRI possibly due to celiac (his GI doc thinking out loud to me).
I was an active member of this forum during my sons' first years after diagnosis but dropped off for a bit as life got busy and both my children seemed to deal well post-diagnosis.
Fast forward 4.5 years... My oldest son, now 9, continually has excellent lab work and shows no GI signs of ingesting gluten. So it seems all good. A little over a year ago, he started having these weird, short, strong headaches. I get migraines (it's familial) and because they were so random and brief (less than 15 minutes) and I was dealing with a period of bad migraines, I let it go.
Well, they got worse in August/September. Eventually I got him into the doctor (pediatrician) who continues to monitor him. Late fall he was anemic which he is back to normal now after supplementation. No scans done. Headaches stayed steady at 1-2x/week. They really seem like they're turning into migraines to me. When I brought up the headaches to his GI doctor, she was worried and suggested an MRI and EEG. No EEG done but we did do the MRI through the pediatrician's orders. It came back abnormal (unspecified white spots in the cerebellum possibly due to migraine). We've been waiting for the neurologist consult and so I'm researching. Oh, his last labs did show a vitamin d deficiency so he's on a mega-supplement (50K IU/week). He's had huge growth over the past year (8 inches! and like 2 pounds)
My questions...
1. I've seen much related to gluten ataxia but it seems like it is an issue pre-diagnosis or ill-management of the gluten-free diet. Could he be super sensitive to gluten neurologically but seem ok GI-wise and with labs?
2. Could gluten have caused irreversible brain damage pre-diagnosis and it's just now causing more problems? He was very obviously celiac once tested. He had very little physical signs but was tested on a fluke - or so I thought - and his labs were very high and his GI doctor saw obvious villi destruction during his endoscopy without even waiting for the biopsy. He was 4.5 at this time and just thinking about the nutrient deficiencies and issues during those critical growing years pains me. And it's so CRAZY to think how well he actually seemed. Well, except for the weird 8 months of odd things pre-diagnosis, but nothing that would have screamed celiac to me today knowing what celiac disease is.
Obviously, this may have nothing to do with gluten/celiac disease. I am merely looking for information. He is under medical supervision so I'm not looking to self-diagnose but I want to go in with some knowledge and good questions.
Thanks so much.

first time ever in a cart . The staff were amazing . The track is so much fun . Very well organised safety first . I think for what you get the value is good . The people on site can not do enough for you . We will be back . You do not need to be a seasoned...
A great circuit for the more experienced Karter. Outdoors so weather dependant. Very well organised and host to many championship competitions.
I booked the track for 5 adults for my Daughters 19th Birthday. It was well organised, the suits, helmets etc provided. A safety talk before hand and then out on the track. 30 laps of great fun.
There were no facilities to get snacks or drinks but as we were out afterwards that wasnt a problem. Good value for money.
book a corporate event and get one price and service.
book privately and get half the time twice the cost and no explanation.
we were told we'd booked the kids track, i told them the deal was advertised as the main race track.
they offered a refund, we took it and left.
Went for my stag do, the team at whilton couldn't do enough to help even though they were very busy with a school boy championship.
We were on the national track, and I must say that a great time was had by all even both my grandfathers had a brilliant time. One is eighty the other 75.
The only downside...
hard to find this place, it's off the A5, and your sat nav doesn't find it as you have to go through Whilton locks to get to it.
the place once there is great. But again not very organised, as we didnt know where we had to go to get our equipment etc as nothing is signposted!!
brilliant day out with the guys cannot complain about the service prices are fine loads to do give them a call :)
My son is 10 we had a day at the track testing. It's a brilliant circuit with really friendly staff. coming back in a few weeks, can't wait.
Came here for my birthday with some friends last year about 17 of is in total and raced on the national circuit. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. They gave us all the necessary equipment and an informative safety briefing before we went out. When we came back our results were ready for us to look...
My son and friends visited here as part of a birthday weekend in northampton. Along with the 20 year olds, my 12 year grand daughter and her friend also had a go. The staff were brilliant and much fun was had by all. Suitable for all ages, great value.

SEATTLE - Luxury department store chain Nordstrom Inc. said Thursday its same-store sales fell 13.1 percent in May.
Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, is a key indicator of retailer performance.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected same-store sales to fall 12.7 percent during the month.
The Seattle-based retailer said overall sales for the four-week period ended May 30 fell about 9 percent to $653 million from $716 million a year ago.
The company's namesake chain reported a same-store sales drop of 16.7 percent. Nordstrom Rack, the company's outlet chains, fared better, with same-store sales rising 2.2 percent for the month.
Even the company's half-yearly sale at its Nordstrom chain didn't help boost performance. For the first 11 days of the sale, which includes merchandise for women and kids and started May 20, the company said same-store sales fell 14 percent.
Sales were the strongest during the month in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, the company added.

First, shut off the breaker to the stove. Removed old element by unscrewing the two screws on the plate where the element attached at the bottom of the inside of the oven. The old element was corroded at the connection, so disconnect it, attached the new one, pushed it back in the insulated socket then reattached the two screws on the plate. Flipped the breaker back on. Works great. Only took about 25 min. from start to finish.
