On 14 January 2014, the concept of 'net neutrality' took a serious blow from the U.S Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. The court struck down the Federal Communications Commission's 'Open Internet Order' regulations which enshrined the basis of this fundamental principle of the internet and thus altering the relationship of the regulation of broadband providers. The aim of 'net neutrality', as judge Tatel stated, was to 'compel broadband providers to treat all internet traffic the same regardless of source…'. The ruling (Verizon v. Federal Communications Commission, 11-1356) could allow for ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to eventually offer tiered internet services. As a consequence of the decision, ISPs may ultimately determine at what speeds content from various providers will be delivered to the consumers. Prior regulation mandated content delivery at equivalent speeds; it will thus be interesting to see if and how standard business practices among broadband providers in the U.S evolve. With the likes of Netflix and Google commanding over half the data flow to end users in North America, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that ISPs could begin charging such content providers for "premium" service speeds to users, potentially leaving less wealthy content providers in a poor position and consumers to foot the bill. As usual, we'll keep you informed of any progress.

Grant Holt has no problem with his subs' role at Aston Villa.
The on-loan Wigan Athletic striker's latest appearance was as a second-half substitute in the 4-1 win over his former club Norwich after Christian Benteke, Gabby Agbonlahor and Andi Weimann had done the first-half damage.
He told the Birmingham Mail: When you've got the forwards we've got you know when you first come here that you're not just going to get straight into the side.
"I think when I was signed it was more to help the lads along and give them that depth that we didn't have.
"Obviously they had lost the big man, Libor Kozak, on the training ground which left a gap for myself.
"I just want to try to help the lads and give them that wisdom and experience. Obviously, I want to play football and I want to play games.
"But when you've got the likes of Christian and Gabby and Andi there it's tough to get in."

Obama to visit Myanmar - the first by a US President
Published on Nov 10, 2012 1:07 AM
WASHINGTON - Newly re-elected United States President Barack Obama will head to Myanmar later this month, in what will be a historic first visit by a US President and a big boost to reformers in the Asean member state as they push for more political and economic change.
Myanmar is the second stop of the President's four-day tour to South-east Asia which will also take him to Thailand and Cambodia. The trip from Nov 17 to 20 is his first overseas since decisively winning a second term in office in an election on Tuesday.
The trip had been planned in advance, and analysts said Mr Obama would still have gone even if the election was not in his favour.
But with his victory, the tour takes on symbolic importance as it allows the administration to highlight a key first-term foreign policy achievement in Myanmar, as well as to send a signal to regional partners that the United States' strategic rebalancing towards Asia will continue in Mr Obama's second term.
In Myanmar, he will meet President Thein Sein and political prisoner-turned-parliamentarian Aung San Suu Kyi.
Both visited the US in September, but Mr Obama, on a tight schedule because of his re-election campaign, met only Ms Suu Kyi.
He will also meet civil society groups to encourage Myanmar's ongoing democratic transition, the White House said on Thursday.
In Thailand, a US treaty ally, he will meet Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in Bangkok to mark 180 years of US-Thailand diplomatic relations and "reaffirm the strength of our alliance", the statement added.
The President's final stop will be Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to attend the East Asia Summit and meet Asean leaders. He will be the first US President to visit the South-east Asian country.
During his interactions in the region, he will discuss a broad range of issues including economic prosperity and job creation through increased trade and partnerships, energy and security cooperation, and human rights, the White House statement said.
Mr Obama's visit to Myanmar marks the high point in Washington's efforts to normalise relations with the country it once isolated diplomatically and economically over human rights abuses by its military rulers.
Over the past two years, however, a new civilian government has ushered in sweeping reforms including freeing political prisoners.
The initiatives prompted the Obama administration to re-engage it politically with high-level visits, including a ground- breaking one last year by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and to appoint a full ambassador, as well as to lift many of its crippling economic sanctions on the impoverished nation.
Mrs Clinton, who will be accompanying Mr Obama on his forthcoming trip, will be in Singapore for talks with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam next Friday.
Disclosing this, a US State Department spokesman yesterday said she would be travelling to Australia before arriving in Singapore.

Alliance Community Hospital
Healthcare, Hospitals & Clinics
The Colleagues of Alliance Community Hospital have long known it, but now the entire state -and even the country- is also aware that ACH is one of Northeast Ohio's best places to work.
Alliance Community Hospital was among the 99 facilities honored with a "NorthCoast 99" award for 2008.
Employers Resource Council (ERC), the organization which bestows the NorthCoast 99 award every year on several types of businesses, recently announced the 2008 winners of its tenth-annual honors.
The ERC has recognized these organizations as great places to work in Northeast Ohio based their ability to attract, motivate and retain top performers. There were 13 new winners this year-of which Alliance Community Hospital was one-- as well as four nine-time winners and three organizations that have won the award in each of the ten years the program has been held.
The 2008 NorthCoast 99 winners come from a wide range of industries including manufacturing, health and human services and both non-profit and for-profit services, and representing 11 counties in Northeast Ohio.
"This is a testament to the incredible staff we have in place here at ACH," said Stan Jonas, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer of ACH.
"It's not just that we are a patient-centered healing environment or that our clinicians are board certified and otherwise highly credentialed. It's not just that we offer cutting edge technology and dignified, compassionate health care services; it's all of these things combined that sets us apart," he said.
"We wouldn't be winning awards such as this one without a tremendously dedicated and gifted staff of physicians, nurses, technicians, administrators, and office and support staff members, as well as our wonderful volunteers," said Kerry Swanson, Senior Vice President of Operations at ACH.
This year ERC will recognize its 2008 NorthCoast 99 winners for their accomplishments at its annual dinner, which will take place on September 17, 2008 at LaCentre Conference and Banquet Facility in Westlake, Ohio. For a complete list of NorthCoast 99 winners and more information about their workplaces, please visit www.northcoast99.com.
ERC is Northeast Ohio's largest organization dedicated to Human Resources and workplace programs, practices, training and consulting. The organization also hosts NorthCoast 99 and sponsors the ERC Health insurance program.

Food and Drug Administration:
Food Additive Approval Process Followed for Aspartame
HRD-87-46: Published: Jun 18, 1987. Publicly Released: Jul 17, 1987.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition's (CFSAN) process for approving aspartame, specifically its: (1) review of the scientific issues raised concerning the aspartame studies; and (2) monitoring of current safety concerns.
GAO found that the: (1) firm that developed aspartame submitted nearly 170 studies supporting its safety; and (2) studies that CFSAN considered crucial for approval met FDA requirements. GAO also found that CFSAN: (1) adequately followed its food additive approval process by reviewing all of the manufacturer's aspartame studies, holding a public board of inquiry to discuss safety issues, and forming an advisory panel; (2) had an outside group of pathologists review the crucial studies; and (3) used the studies to establish a safe level for long-term consumption before approving aspartame for marketing. In addition, GAO found that: (1) there was no evidence of pressure on the former FDA Commissioner to approve aspartame after a board of inquiry revoked a 1974 approval and decided that additional research was necessary; (2) three members of an advisory panel did not believe that the studies conclusively showed that aspartame would not cause brain tumors; (3) 12 of the 69 scientists responding to its questionnaire expressed major concerns about aspartame safety; and (4) there are over 70 completed, ongoing, and planned studies of aspartame effects on neurological behavior, children, and pregnant women. GAO believes that CFSAN research and monitoring of adverse aspartame reactions should provide a basis for determining the need for any future regulatory actions.

WASHINGTON (September 13, 2013)—U.S. House lawmakers have introduced legislation that would mean more federal oversight for large specialty pharmacies such as the one that triggered a deadly meningitis outbreak last year.
The bill introduced by Republicans and Democrats would subject large compounding operations to regular inspections, fees and other requirements from the Food and Drug Administration.
State pharmacy boards now oversee pharmacies, including compounders that mix customized medicines.
The effort comes almost a year after the emergence of an outbreak linked to contaminated drugs from a Massachusetts pharmacy, which killed at least 64 people and sickened 750 more.
The bill's co-author, U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., said the legislation would prevent similar outbreaks and ensure the "quality and safety of all compounded drugs in the country."
The Senate introduced similar legislation in May.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Remember the relaxed and happy first game? Welcome to the exact opposite: a dark and frustrating game.
+ The Dark Eco power is kinda nice once you finally get to unleash it.
+ The story, while being far from perfect, is... decent enough but one can't deny how they progressed when compared to J&D1
- Traffic. Sure, you could just Speed trough and steal all vehicles you encounter or rapidly switch between ground and air modes but it's just stupid... Traffic is tedious and it seems like they didn't think it trough. If they had added another air mode or something it would've been better and perhaps you might finish a street without killing everyone.
- You've got a platformer with guns... that's what this game is. The platforming is nothing special and disappoints when compared to J&D1 and the shooting is simply the classic selection with a kiddy look.
- Dark Jak is overpowered and takes too long to charge. Against normal foes you'll use it only when surronded and in those cases you'll be facing respawning masses, making it useless. Against bosses? One DJ activation means one boss-phase down in a single hit... overpowered <
- The lay-out is horrible. Enjoy losing your way trough the city...
- Racing missions. They are made to frustrate and require you to use one exact route... which will be messed up due to traffic! Missions like these rely more on luck than skill...
I know they had to change some things... but seriously guys? this game just doesn't compare with J&D1 or R&C...

Isnt ultraviolet illegal?
For example i have given my brother an ultraviolet copy of the hobbit for his laptop so now he doesn't have to go out and spend £10 on the DVD he has a free copy on his laptop. I thought they wanted to stop copying so people go out and actually buy the film.
To me ultraviolet is no different than copying a film
Any other opinions?
The law is in the process of changing so that it will no longer be illegal for people to backup their films. I have a backup of every film that I have purchased, regardless of if it comes with a digital copy or not, so that I can watch the film on any of my devices.
Ultraviolet isn't illegal. Allowing someone else to have your UV code is probably against their T&Cs, though.
Or do you mean they're going to be making that illegal?
The Ultaviolet scheme allows you to share copies with up to 5 family members. And given that it's run by the companies who own the copyright, you're probably not going to get sued...
I see it as a positive move.

The fact is, bananas are one of nature's wonder foods. In a lot of dishes where you cook bananas you end up with a banana that has the texture which is really nothing short of gross. A gloppy, soft and slimy substance I would ever want to put into my mouth. When it comes to banana fritters, this doesn't happen and for very good reason. The bananas are coated in a batter and deep fried. The batter protects the banana. Really, very simple logic at work here.
When it comes to deep frying you want to use an oil with a very high smoke rate. The best oil for this is peanut oil. You can also use a pure vegetable oil but you'll want to really watch the heat. You do not, however, want to use an olive oil.
Banana Fritters are a wonderful dessert and even though they are deep fried, they are not as fattening as you might think. These also make for a wonderful snack and a perfect ending for a spring or summer brunch. Easy to make and fun to eat!
Ingredients needed to make Banana Fritters (serves 4):
- Peanut oil for deep frying
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 bananas, peeled and quartered
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- In a large sauté pan or skillet add enough oil to deep fry and bring to 350 degrees on a deep fry thermometer.
- n a medium bowl whisk 1 cup of flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg and milk. Whisk this mixture into the flour mixture.
- Roll the quartered bananas in the remaining ½ cup of flour to coat. Dip the banana quarters into the batter.
- Carefully place the batter coated bananas into the oil and deep fry until golden brown.
- With a slotted spoon or tongs remove the bananas and let drain of excess oil on paper towels.
- Place the banana fritters on a serving platter, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Brazil's TAM and Chile's LAN have finalised a nearly two-year-old merger process, forming the LATAM Airlines Group with an exchange of 95.9% of TAM's shares today.
The carriers had intended to close the deal in the first quarter, but LAN appealed to the Chilean supreme court over three of 14 conditions imposed by the country's antitrust regulators.
"All conditions mentioned in the [merger agreement] have been met and, therefore, the exchange offer is immutable and irrevocable," TAM and LAN said in a joint press release issued shortly before the merger was complete.
By combining route networks, fleets and staff, the combined carriers plan to achieve synergies worth $600-$700 million, while becoming the major new force in the rapidly growing Latin American air travel market.
LATAM will fly to about 150 destinations in 22 countries.
The merger will "allow us to position ourselves to operate in an increasingly competitive environment due to the continuing consolidation of the global airline industry," said Enrique Cueto, executive vice president-chief executive of LATAM.
The merger was concluded only a day after the Star Alliance welcomed new members Avianca-TACA and Copa.
The alliance status of the new LATAM carrier still has not been resolved. TAM is a member of the Star Alliance, while LAN is part of Oneworld.

Former Wolves defender Stephen Ward is ready to challenge for a Burnley start.
He could provide competition for Ben Mee, who had a difficult Premier League debut at left back against Chelsea.
Ward is capable of playing at full back, in a wide midfield role or even in support of a lone striker.
But asked what he saw as his best position, he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "I think predominantly left back.
"The manager wants competition everywhere.
"I think that's what you need when you get promoted.
"It's a very tough season and you need competition in every position and strong competition to keep everyone on their toes.
"I think he's building a squad that's getting towards two players for every position, which is what you need because when you're out there on that training pitch you need everyone to be on the same page.
"You can get hampered with injuries and suspensions and players need to be ready to come in, especially at this level."

Rosol stuns crowd by beating Nadal at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England It was Lukas Rosol and not Rafael Nadal who looked like a two-time Wimbledon champion used to pummeling opponents into submission on tennis' biggest stage.
It was Rosol, and not Nadal, who sprinted to and from his chair during changeovers like he had a never-ending supply of energy, pumped his fist and shouted to his entourage in the player's box. And it was the 100th-ranked, little-known Czech player making his first Wimbledon appearance - and not the 11-time Grand Slam winner - who got better and stronger as the second-round match on Centre Court progressed into the night.
He hit ace after ace to complete one of the biggest upsets tennis has seen in years.
As surprising as Rosol's five-set victory over Nadal was, the manner in which he completed it Thursday was perhaps equally stunning.
"In the fifth set he played more than unbelievable," Nadal said.
He wasn't the only one who struggled to believe what they were seeing.
Rosol, who had lost in qualifying for Wimbledon in each of the last five years, simply outclassed Nadal with his powerful serving and booming ground strokes. He hit cross-court backhand winners that measured 99 mph, he stepped up to whip scorching forehand returns, and he served so well that Nadal hardly tried to get to them by the final game. The last one he hit was his 22nd, and it wrapped up a 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 victory that no one had seen coming.
Least of all Rosol himself.
"I'm not just surprised; it's like a miracle for me," he said. "Like just some B team in Czech Republic can beat Real Madrid (in) soccer."
But Rosol fully earned the win, bouncing back from wasting three set points in the first set to win the next two. After Nadal leveled the match in the fourth, organizers then decided to slide the retractable roof out over Centre Court to allow the match to finish under the lights. That forced a 45-minute break that had Nadal agitated, but seemingly just made Rosol stronger.
He came out and broke Nadal in the first game, and never gave the Spaniard a chance to get back into the match.
"I was playing well in the fourth," Nadal said. "I think I played a great fourth set. Sure the stop this time didn't help me. That's the sport."
Nadal had previously been upset about Rosol's behavior as he was preparing to return the Spaniard's serve, and complained about it to the chair umpire during one changeover in the third set. Two games later, Nadal bumped into Rosol - and didn't acknowledge the contact - as they walked to their chairs for a break.
Rosol said he thought Nadal was simply trying to mess up his concentration.
"I was surprised that he can do it on the Centre Court at Wimbledon," Rosol said. "It's like something wrong. ... He hit me, and then three times he apologized. And I say, OK."
And he kept his cool.

Lady Eagles Shakey's V-League champs after toppling down Tigresses
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines—Ateneo racked up two crucial points to put away University of Santo Tomas for good, 25-19, 25-14, 17-25, 20-25, 15-13, and nab another title Sunday in the 9th Shakey's V-League first conference at the Arena in San Juan city.
Tied at 13-all in the fifth set, the Lady Eagles pounced on a costly error from the Tigresses, then Dzi Gervacio delivered the match-sealing point for their back-to-back championship.
Alyssa Valdez, whose presence for Ateneo has been invaluable even in the UAAP, was fittingly adjudged the Finals MVP as she churned out another commendable performance with 22 points—19 off kills and two off aces.
Thai guest player Phee Nok Kesinee finished with 15 points while Gervacio added 12 points for the Lady Eagles, who kept their composure intact despite losing two straight sets to the Tigresses.
Ateneo, whose only defeat in the tournament came in the hands of UST in game one of the finals, seemed headed to an easy finals win after convincingly bagging the first two sets.
But the Tigresses, six-time champion in the V-League, wouldn't back down and tied the match at two sets apiece before going toe to toe with the Lady Eagles in the final frame.
Judy Caballejo's attempt, though, went wide to give Ateneo the match-point edge, and UST failed to add another title to its legacy.
Caballejo had 17 points while Maika Ortiz paced the Tigresses with 18 markers—four off service aces and three from blocks.

New Study Claims Lesbians Have Orgasms More Often Than Straight Women, Men, Everyone
1. A new, very sexy study, undertaken at Indiana, Emory, and Rutgers universities, aims to answer the question: Who among us is having the best orgasms?
The study was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine on Monday.
2. The goal: "To assess orgasm occurrence during sexual activity across sexual orientation categories."
3. In a questionnaire, participants reported their gender, self-identified sexual orientation, and "percentage of the time they experience orgasm when having sex with a familiar partner."
The possible orientation categories listed included heterosexual, gay/lesbian, and bisexual — queer and asexual identities were not listed. The possible gender categories only included "male" and "female." The study surveyed 1,350 self-identified single females and 1,497 self-identified single males. All the participants also had sexual experiences that occurred in the last 12 months.
4. Bad news for ladies? The results showed men having a higher occurrence of reaching the finish line.
Results listed: 85.1% among single men, 62.9% among single women.
5. The men's results also didn't significantly vary across sexual orientations.
6. For women, the rate of orgasm varied significantly by sexual orientation.
Results listed: heterosexual women 61.6%, lesbian women 74.7%, and bisexual women 58.0%.

Philippine flag flies over San Francisco City Hall
More News from INQUIRER.net
SAN FRANCISCO, California—Every year, on the 12th of June at 10 in the morning, Philippine flag is raised at the balcony of the quaint City Hall of San Francisco.
This year, Consul General Marciano Paynor Jr. led the flag raising ceremony Tuesday to celebrate the Philippine Independence Day.
Paynor was joined by Mayor Ed Lee's representative, chief of protocol Charlotte Schultz, and Filipino American leaders as the Philippine flag was unfurled at 10 a.m. and the national anthem, Lupang Hinirang, was sung.
Paynor said that he has been assigned to many world cities but it is only in San Francisco that the Philippine flag is raised during Independence Day. The city, in fact, has declared June 12 as Philippine Heritage Day.
At the reception after the flag raising ceremony, Chief of Protocol, Charlotte Schultz, praised the contribution of Filipinos in San Francisco be it cultural, business or politics. She then introduced Carmen Colet, the new Chair of the San Francisco Manila Sister City Committee. Colet bared that there are plans for the organization to bring Mayor Ed Lee to Manila in 2013.
The robust SFMSCC collaboration celebrated its fiftieth anniversary last year.

(PRWEB) May 09, 2013
For the first time in 55 years, spending on medications in the United States has dropped, in part because of patent expirations for popular drugs such as Lipitor.* The Rottenstein Law Group LLP, a Lipitor law firm, offers its opinion on what this means for those who seek to file Lipitor lawsuits because they suffered from Lipitor-induced diabetes.
Pfizer lost patent protection for Lipitor in 2011, which led to other manufacturers' selling cheaper generic versions of the drug. Given the great number of Lipitor users, that switch to generic plays a large role in reduced spending, according to a May 9 Reuters report.
But despite the availability of inexpensive Lipitor, Rottenstein Law Group LLP principal Rochelle Rottenstein notes that studies have been released that indicate there could be some serious risks that go along with using Lipitor. She cites a January 2012 study in JAMA: Internal Medicine that indicated there is a potential link between statins and a Type 2 diabetes risk in women.**
"Even though generics present a cheaper alternative, there are still some people buying name-brand Lipitor," Rottenstein said. "Those people are at risk of suffering the alleged side effects that could make them eligible to file a lawsuit."
Plaintiffs across the United States have filed lawsuits, many of which are under consideration for consolidation into a multidistrict litigation for efficient pretrial proceedings (In re Lipitor (Atorvastatin) Litigation, MDL No. 2459 (JPML)).
The Rottenstein Law Group LLP's Lipitor Lawsuit Information Center offers a comprehensive look at Lipitor side effects and how to file a Lipitor lawsuit.

Pick Six: June 2012
June was a superbly good month for music, with Alan Jackson, Don Williams, and Elizabeth Cook all releasing albums. Here are a few of my favorite releases from the past month that we haven't reviewed. What albums were in heavy rotation on your stereo this June?
6. The Bankesters – Looking Forward
This bluegrass family band is back with a strong follow-up to last year's self-titled album (which, you'll remember, made our Best of Bluegrass list). Sweetly sung harmonies abound on this collection thanks to daughters Emily, Alysha, and Melissa, who sings lead on what's arguably the best song on the album, the Battle of Gettysburg story-song "First Minnesota." Parental units Phil and Dorene deliver another high point with the jaunty "Where I Am," written by Chris Jones with Tom T. and Dixie Hall.
5. Ruby Jane – Celebrity (Empire of Emptiness)
Like Sara Watkins and mandolin prodigy Sarah Jarosz, teenage fiddler Ruby Jane has serious country and bluegrass music chops, and, also like Watkins and Jarosz, she uses those skills to deliver a supremely enjoyable roots-influenced pop record with Celebrity (Empire of Emptiness). Jane, who wrote or co-wrote ten of the album's eleven songs (the lone cover is a delicate version of Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart") including the fantastic, genre-melding closing instrumental "Intrepid," delivers her lyrics with an airy voice that, like her fiddling and writing, is mature beyond her years.
Plenty, a collection of sparse country songs by one of the most talented writers out there, is the perfect soundtrack for watching a summer rainstorm roll in. "Ain't It Just Like Love" is an irresistible toe-tapper, but the rest of the album is more understated, with the pensive "Between Midnight and Day" finding the self-proclaimed "soul survivor, a Sunday driver, and a tiger on Saturday night" Wilkins reflecting on a noteworthy career: "This life that I live is mostly a gift/From these songs I play/They've been fine companions between midnight and day."
3. Alejandro Escovedo – Big Station
Alejandro Escovedo is the embodiment of rock 'n' roll. On Big Station, he once more collaborates with co-writer Chuck Prophet and producer Tony Visconti to deliver a a fierce record that draws upon a variety of influences, from the Eddie Cochran-tinged sounds of opener "Man of the World" to alt-country ballad "San Antonio Rain" to the album closer, a tender version of "Sabor a Mi," which is Escovedo's first Spanish recording.
2. Various Artists – Kin: Songs by Mary Karr and Rodney Crowell
A star-studded roster of artists including Norah Jones, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, and Emmylou Harris lend their golden voices to songs written over a period of several years by Crowell and fellow East Texan Mary Karr, a noted poet and memoirist whose work has been on The New York Times' Best Sellers list. "My Father's Advice," featuring Kris Kristofferson, is one of the best story-songs you'll hear this year, but all the songs on the album are above average. Here's hoping this partnership isn't just a one-off.
Jerry Douglas, the world's best Dobro player and a highly in-demand session musician who's appeared on over 2000 recordings over the course of his career, can cover a lot of musical ground. Most of it is present on his newest solo record, which ranges from the bluesy Lead Belly cover "On a Monday" to the Bourbon Street sounds of "High Blood Pressure" (on which Keb' Mo' sings lead) to the breakneck bluegrassy instrumental, "King Silkie." A gorgeous cover of "The Boxer," featuring guest stars Paul Simon and Mumford & Sons, rounds out one of the year's best albums. If you only bought one album last month, hopefully this was it.
13 Comments
I'm gonna call it and say this is Jerry's best solo record. A dynamite album that really swims around the range of his playing.
'Something You Got', a Ray Charles style groove with him and Clapton trading solos, deserves special mention too.
"Here's hoping this partnership isn't just a one-off."
I suspect that Rodney Crowell And Mary Karr may well write more songs together in the future but I'd be surprised if they collaborat again anytime soon on a full album. His next project is a duets album with Emmylou Harris that is being produced by Brian Ahern. The recording of it has been completed. Backing musicians include original Hot Band members.
Another new June album I'm enjoying is Antje Duvecot's "New Siberia," which won't "officially" be released until September 18th but is currently available for download at her website, http://www.AntjeDuvekot.com. It was produced by Richard Shindell and features him, along with John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky and Mark Erelli.
The Rodney Crowell album is indeed a great one which I may review myself sometime. I think at times it's more poetry than music, but that's not a big deal for me. My favorite track on it is probably Lee Ann Womack's.
As for the duets album with Emmylou, that sounds great. Especially with Brian Ahern at the helm. Don't get me wrong. I love Rodney and Emmylou's more recent material, but I would love to hear both of them make another record like "Pieces of the Sky" or "Ain't Living Long Like This." Sounds like I may get my wish soon.
The album that I keep playing is Brandi Carlile's Bear Creek. I'd heard about her before, of course, but I never really paid attention until this album and now I'm hooked and have bought her previous albums as well. The whole album is great, but it's hard for me to get past the first track, "Hard Way Home", without just hitting repeat over and over again.
And, yes, I'm ready to hear the Rodney Crowell/Emmylou Harris album. The Rodney/Mary Carr album is great and Lee Ann Womack's track is probably my favorite too.
Back again to say thanks for mentioning the Walt Wilkins album, as it reminded me to check it out. Great stuff.
Leeann- There are a bunch of Music Fog videos of Walt Wilkins that you also might want to check out available on You Tube- like so many artists, he's one I prefer to see and hear live. For example:
I have so many albums I need to catch up on, with Jerry Douglas' Traveler being foremost among them. Of the ones I've heard so far, Don Williams' And So It Goes really hits my sweet spot, and I enjoyed the Edens Edge debut album as well. Thanks for the recos, as always, Juli. I will try to listen to each of them soon (I have heard KIN, and I agree – It's wonderful).
I just listened to the Edens Edge album last night and it actually is quite good.
Leeann, I also just listened through the new Eden's Edge full album and was a tad bit disappointed by the usual overly slick Nashville production approach. I've seen Eden's Edge live a couple of times (thankfully without an electric guitar present) and they just shine as a live acoustic act. I was actually hoping their album would sound more like their live sets. Oh well, you can't have everything. I wonder what their album would have sounded like if they were recording for Rounder instead? Hmm…

The June clash between the All Blacks and England at
Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium was worth $8.15 million to the
city, according to a report released this afternoon.
DVML chief executive Terry Davies said in a statement the
result of the economic impact study was fantastic for
"The experience in the city was incredible. It was my first
rugby test weekend and the buzz about the place was terrific.
"The city is $8.15 million better off as a result of the test
weekend and we want to be producing more of these economic
contributions and positive experiences for the city through
events at our venues," he said.
There were 28,507 seats available for the test match, and
survey results suggested 17,161 (60%) of tickets were sold to
people living outside of the Dunedin City boundaries.
The remaining 11,346 (40%) tickets were purchased by Dunedin
The test was estimated to have attracted about 13,043
visitors who would not otherwise have travelled to the city.
On average, respondents spent 2.3 days/1.7 nights in Dunedin
to attend the test match, the report said.

It looks like former friends Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa Giudice won't be hanging out together anytime soon.
Jacqueline is over dealing with her The Real Housewives of New Jersey costar and she doesn't care who knows. "She's not someone I want in my life," the reality star told Us Weekly. "I realized that she was never there for me."
As Teresa's family drama plays out each episode, Jacqueline believes her one-time pal is in "denial" about her struggles with brother, Joe Gorga, and she doesn't think there is much of a chance for things to get better.
PHOTOS: "Real Housewives": Best or Bust?
"Like I said on the show: if you're not looking for a solution, and you can't look into yourself to see where you have contributed to a problem, there's never going to be a resolve," she said. "You're not open to it."
She continued, "I always gave her my honest opinion and she would get upset with me. She asked me for it, but then she would get mad when I didn't agree with her."

Louisa Aldrich-Blake
Dr. Dame Louisa Brandreth Aldrich-Blake, DBE (5 August 1865 – 28 December 1925)[1][2] was one of the first British women to enter the world of medicine.
Born in Chingford, Essex, the daughter of a rector, she moved with her family to Welsh Bicknor. She graduated from the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine for Women in 1893. She went on to take the University of London's higher degrees in Medicine and Surgery, becoming the first British woman to obtain the degree of Master of Surgery. Throughout her career, Dr. Aldrich-Blake was associated with the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital, becoming senior surgeon in 1910.
At the Royal Free Hospital, she was the first woman to hold the post of surgical registrar and also acted as an anaesthetist. During the First World War, many of the male surgical staff were deployed on foreign active service and Dr Aldrich-Blake took on increased responsibility for the surgery, becoming consulting surgeon to the hospital. She was the first to perform operations for cancers of the cervix and rectum.[citation needed]
Aldrich-Blake was devoted to training students of the Royal Free Hospital's School of Medicine for Women, her own alma mater. She became Dean of the School in 1914.
In the 1925 New Year's Honours List, she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[1][3]
Dame Louisa Aldrich-Blake died on 28 December 1925 from undisclosed causes.
The Dame Louisa Brandreth Aldrich-Blake Collection is located in the Royal Free Hospital's Archives Centre. A statue of her is in Tavistock Square, London.

MNN week in review: Historic robots, tiny animals and why you shouldn't fret about green cars
This week's best bets from Mother Nature Network.
Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 06:09 PM
• We tend to think of robots as modern inventions, but the concept of machine helping man isn't that new. Here are 10 robots and machines from the history books.
• Once you take microscopes out of the equation, the definition of small animals gets more complex. Take for example, the big-eyed Philippine tarsier (pictured above.) These eight animals are some of the smallest of their kind.
• Is it a good idea to buy an electric or hybrid car? Our auto blogger addresses five myths that are standing in the way of green car ownership.
• The South isn't known as a bastion of wind energy, but that image could be about to change. The American Wind Energy Association's Peter Kelley tells MNN how a Southern breeze could lift the region and the industry.
• Say the phrase "lake monster" and Nessie (pictured at right) comes to mind. But that's not the only lake-dwellig creature that has cult following. Here's our list.
• What's not to like about Paraguay? Often overshadowed by its bigger neighbors, this South American country offers waterfalls, bird-watching and nature preserves.
• Humanity's use of coal, metals and other natural resources is making the planet more acidic, according to a new study that's billed as the first of its kind.
• With the fall TV season in full swing, it was another big week for celebrity spotter Gerri Miller. See what she learned about Hugh Laurie, Jeri Ryan and more.
• Has your community been "fracked"? The Natural Resources Defense Council has unveiled a new online tool that can help — it's all about educating and empowering Americans who live near hydraulic fracturing.
• Let's say you had a choice between limitless clean energy and clean coal. Which would you choose? MNN blogger Chris Turner says you might be surprised by the answer. This week, he explores the endowment effect — our tendancy to place undo value on things we already have — specifically when it comes to energy choices.
Plus: Don't forget to check out the week in photos, which includes these micro-piglets from Germany.

I saw this restaurant just passing by. I am very glad we stopped. Their food is good, their service is very friendly and family style. Prices average about $11.00 per person, but very worth every penny of it.

PTFE / Silicone Spray Experiment

PTFE is used in...
- your computer mouse to make it slide
- in goretex to make your clothing repel water
- In your cookware for non-stick surfaces
- In footware and medical devices to prevent blisters (ie it's rubbed against your flesh)
- On the roof of the metrodome
- etc.
That being said, yeah, I don't think any spray coating is worth the mess or health risks. We don't even use a microwave in our house or teflon cookware for those reasons.
This does raise another question.
When I hit fresh balls with loads of topspin I leave pretty significant contrails of green fuzz. I've often wondered if those particals are a threat.
Anyway, I won't be proceeding with this. Doesn't make sense.
However, given the amount of PTFE we're talking about compared to the other hazards we face on a daily basis (eg emissions from coal plants) I truly doubt there's a health risk anywhere close to these other threats.
Heck, wine contains a known poison (alcohol) which many of us enjoy!

Zipped Up Zippos
David Savona
Posted: December 26, 2013
Aficionados know that Zippos are not ideal for firing up premium cigars. The strong aroma of the lighter fluid used in such devices can lend a harsh taste to your cigars, particularly those of the milder variety, unless you take care when torching up and keep the flame away from the end of your smoke. But no one can deny the beauty of a Zippo, wonderfully simple and reliable devices that have a pleasant heft and a distinct look of Americana.
Artist Mike Porter uses Zippos as his canvas, taking the lighters and turning them into one-of-a-kind, eye-popping creations featuring rugged imagery. His Wicked Zippo Studios makes imaginative lighters that make an immediate impression.
His designs include coins, skulls and golf balls, each casted in sterling silver or bronze then artistically attached to a Zippo lighter, which is decorated in various styles to make it unlike any other Zippo you've ever seen. Each can be customized to your liking and sports a lanyard attached to the side. "The lanyard is kind of a signature feature for us and it enables the customer to carry their custom Zippo inside their pocket with the lanyard and skull bead hanging outside their pocket," says Porter. "It also makes it easy to yank your Zippo from your pocket."
Wicked Zippo has several styles of pre-made lighters beginning at $99 and ranging to more than $700, depending on style, and it can make fully customized items. And although he uses a Zippo to light his own cigars, Porter knows that purists go for the odorless flame created by lighters that run on butane, so he will throw in-free of charge-an aftermarket insert that allows his lighters to throw a butane flame.

Man who won house says giving life to God, getting off drugs his best decisions
MACON, Ga. — Having once lived in a tent near the Ocmulgee River, Don Lance knows a good bit about lows.
"When you have nothing, it's hard to hit rock bottom," he said.
After nearly three decades of taking methamphetamine, or any other drug he could find, Lance also knows a good bit about highs.
He doesn't hide that fact. "I'm a junkie," he said. "I'm an intravenous-needle-using, methamphetamine junkie."
Just more than a month ago, Lance, 43, purchased one of the 6,500 raffle tickets sold for the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. After waking up one morning, he said God told him to buy that ticket. He told his wife, Hope, to go buy it, but the $100 price was more than she was willing to spend.
Hope Lance said she blew off her husband's order to buy the ticket until he became more insistent.
True to form in his life of extremes, Lance won that 3,250-square-foot house in Warner Robins, Ga., valued at $350,000.
While buying that ticket changed his life, an even bigger transformation began two years prior, he said, when he decided to give up drugs and follow Christ.
Through all the highs and lows, he said that decision was the best choice he's ever made.
Before things went horribly wrong in his life, Lance's childhood growing up in Macon, Ga., was quite normal. "I can't say anything bad about it," Lance said of his childhood.
His upbringing at a Christian school instilled in him a strong belief in God and morals, even though he didn't always heed.
Lance dropped out of school his junior year. His parents were going through a divorce.
His life began to spiral out of control, even though for him his life was one big party.
IThen Lance went to a concert that exposed him to a whole new world — the Grateful Dead.
The jam band had a following of tens of thousands of people called Deadheads, who formed their own community and followed the group around the country.
Lance took to the Deadheads like a fish to water.
He dropped three hits of LSD at that show and a life of rampant drug use began.
"I'm very extreme with everything I do. I'm not going to stop with just three hits. That whole experience continued to change my life."
Lance didn't think he could afford to live the traveling Deadhead life, but his new "family" told him it didn't take money. Theirs was a community where everybody pitched in to help each other. To earn their keep, some sold tie-dyed shirts, some sold drugs, some even did tie-dye readings, similar to tarot card readings.
Lance also sold LSD to earn his way.
Of course, he didn't only sell it. He took it. A lot of it.
"I loved the hallucinogenics, I loved the speed. I liked the trip. I enjoyed the high of it. I've done it for a long time," he said.
Even with his addiction, Lance held a steady job as a stage hand with various production crews setting up stages for concerts. He and his wife, at the time his girlfriend, moved to the Atlanta area. He had a three-bedroom home, a garage and a couple of roommates who paid the lion's share of his rent. He was still using meth and intravenous drugs heavily as he traveled around the country setting up stages, sound and lighting for acts like Aerosmith, Backstreet Boys, Destiny's Child, Grateful Dead and James Brown.
Lance often did work for Buddy Lovell, owner of Audio Visual Services in Macon. Lovell said Lance was a great worker, but the drugs made him not very dependable. "He'd be clean on and off," Lovell said. "I told him every time, you have an opportunity here if you can get away from the drug activity."
Everywhere he went, he carried his little bag, "because my dope was in my bag," said Lance. Even at job sites, his trusty bag was always on his person.
Lance got his biggest dose of reality when he returned from a show and his girlfriend told him she was pregnant.
He knew his life would never be the same.
"I flipped completely out," he said. He decided at that moment that he and Hope were moving back to Macon, a decision he'd come to regret. His half-baked plan consisted of packing up all of his belongings in a truck, parking in his brother's carport and then finding work and a place to live.
His drug use continued. Work dried up and he never found a place to live. He and Hope had two more children and she eventually left him.
Rock bottom came about four years ago when he and a buddy got themselves a tent and moved to a spot near the Ocmulgee River close to Dames Ferry.
After about five months of tent living, Lance grew tired of living.
"I walked across the interstate and walked over to the Coliseum (Hospital) and told them, I'm done with it."
A nurse asked him if he was going to kill himself and he told her, "I just walked across the interstate and nobody would hit me."
The hospital committed him for the night and he was sent to a detox center in Dublin, Ga., the next day.
From there, he ended up at the Next Step Program in downtown Macon, a Christian-based group home for male recovering addicts.
He's been clean ever since — about two years.
His girlfriend came back. They married a year and a half ago and had their fourth child.
"When I first met Don, he was coming straight out of detox and he was in a pretty rough way," recalled Chris Carmichael, who runs the Next Step Program. "He had made up in his mind he wanted to get straight. He voiced to us that he needed help for his addiction and he needed long-term treatment. He stayed with us over a year and started getting his job in order, his family in order."
"He's a very bright man," Carmichael added. "He was raised with a mother and father who stuck by him through all of this."
It was Lovell who was watching television on April 28 when the drawing was taking place for the St. Jude Dream Home. He heard Lance's name. When he couldn't reach Lance, he called his wife.
The couple was in their car driving when Lovell told them he thought Don won.
Lance looked at his phone and saw he missed a call from a number he didn't recognize. He called it and the person on the other end told him he won a house. They pulled over to the side of the road and sat there for 30 minutes, Hope Lance said.
But Lance's not moving into the house.
"It's more than what I need. I have to stay within my limits."
Lance needs to pay a $109,200 withholding tax to take ownership of the property title. That's not including federal and state taxes.
Lovell is helping him take care of that obligation so Lance can sell the house.
"I'll take the money and buy something that's more reasonable, pay (Lovell) back, and hopefully have something in the bank," Lance said. "The fact I can sell it and buy something I can afford it's still like winning a lottery."
Lance attends Fresh Fire Community Church in Macon. They asked him to give a testimony about his story for the congregation, but he declined, saying, "The story isn't over yet."

Changes in Lee-Collier rock mining plans sidetrack federal environmental review
NAPLES - Foes of a cluster of rock mines planned near the Collier-Lee county line took heart last year when federal permitters announced plans for an in-depth environmental review.
So far, though, the four proposed mines targeted by that review have escaped the so-called regional Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS.
A second EIS planned for two mines on the edge of Golden Gate Estates in rural Collier County has yet to get off the ground amid questions about whether those mines will require federal Clean Water Act permits.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined last year that all six mines taken together would have significant enough effects on wetlands and endangered species, such as the Florida panther and wood stork, to warrant the closer look in an EIS.
Since then, only one of the mines along the county line still is proceeding through the corps permitting process, corps project manager Lauren Diaz said last week.
With just one mine actively seeking permits, it removes the need for the broader EIS review,
The corps determined that the Lost Grove mine, west of Immokalee on the Collier side of the county line, wouldn't need a Clean Water Act permit because it won't affect wetlands protected by the law.
The so-called Six L's mine withdrew its application, and the Old Corkscrew Plantation mine suspended its application for one year, Diaz said.
"I think they have played the system and by playing the system, they beat the EIS," Florida Wildlife Federation field representative Nancy Payton said.
Florida Wildlife Federation field representative Nancy Payton accused landowners of manipulating their projects and timelines.
"I think they have played the system and by playing the system, they beat the EIS," she said.
That has left only the Troyer Bros. mine, which still will undergo an individual environmental review but will trigger a cumulative impact analysis that would be "shorter" than what would be required by a regional EIS, Diaz said.
Attorneys for the Lost Grove mine and Troyer Bros. said there was no coordinated attempt by landowners to skirt the EIS.
"We don't discuss that (our federal permit application) with others and they don't really discuss theirs with us," Troyer Bros. attorney David Budd said Friday.
In its findings last December, the corps said the four mines along the Corkscrew Road corridor in southern Lee County and across the county line would total 13,700 acres, including 420 acres of wetlands.
That is 40 percent of the effects on wetlands the corps has authorized in the Corkscrew watershed between 2005 and 2009, according to corps figures.
The corps raised questions about the mines' effects on nearby preserves, such as Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and the Pepper Ranch in Immokalee, underground drinking water supplies and the need for more roads.
The North Belle Meade mines in Collier County would cover more than 2,200 acres, including 624 acres of wetlands, the corps found last year.
That's almost half of all the wetlands affected by corps permits in the Big Cypress watershed between 2005 and 2009.
