Follows report 50 Christie loyalists joined agency's payroll since '10
In the aftermath of a news report that since Gov. Chris Christie took office in 2010, 50 people with ties to him or his administration have obtained jobs at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a Democratic state senator is calling for more transparency at the bi-state agency.
The jobs range from federal affairs director to toll taker and together pay about $4 million in annual salaries, according to The Record of Hackensack.
The Port Authority issued a statement to The Record stating that it "stands by the new employees" and that it has reduced the number of employees and cut payroll by $10.5 million over the past two years.
Sen. Bob Gordon (D-Bergen) said The Record story proves that more transparency is needed at the agency to give the toll-paying public confidence that its money is being properly spent.
"The governor has rightly gone after agency after agency that have acted as patronage pits, except for one glaring omission, Gordon said Monday. "For tens of thousands of residents, the Port Authority is their daily experience with these shadow governments. But unfortunately, only the shadow knows how the public's hard-earned money is actually being spent. No one should be immune from scrutiny, especially the Port Authority."
According to The Record report, the jobs have gone to Republican loyalists, donors and friends of Christie or other leading Republicans. The disclosures were required by a lawsuit from one former Port Authority employee, who claimed she was pushed out of her job for political reasons.
"Someone's ability to do the job should be the sole requirement for employment at the Port Authority, plain and simple," Gordon said. "While it's always nice to be able to list a governor among your references, that relationship should have no bearing when billions of toll-payer dollars are at stake. It may sound cliché, but these jobs should be filled based on what you know, not who you know."
Gordon is sponsoring legislation, titled the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Transparency and Accountability Act (S-1115), that would, among other things, require independent audits of Port Authority finances. Commissioners would have to abide by enhanced financial disclosure rules, as well as a new and specific fiduciary responsibility. The bill would also set specific requirements for public hearings.

Week in review: Microsoft seconds Icahn bid
Microsoft released a letter that threw its support behind Icahn's efforts to unseat Yahoo's board and shelve Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, as well as confirming its interest to explore a bid to buy the entire company--or just its search assets, with a new board.
In a letter to Yahoo shareholders, Icahn said: "Steve (Ballmer) made it clear to me that if a new board were elected, he would be interested in discussing a major transaction with Yahoo, such as either a transaction to purchase the "search" function, with large financial guarantees or, in the alternative, purchasing the whole company."
Microsoft issued a letter confirming Icahn's remarks about Microsoft's renewed interest in a transaction with Yahoo: "While, of course, there can be no assurance of a future transaction, we will be prepared to enter into discussions immediately after Yahoo's shareholder meeting, if a new board is elected."
Microsoft could lend a greater hand to Icahn's proxy battle if it were to go directly to Yahoo's investors with a tender offer and work in tandem with Icahn's proxy battle.
A tender offer could include all the details of a buyout offer and be set to expire sometime after Yahoo's annual shareholders meeting. That would give investors a guarantee that a deal was waiting to be done at the end of the day.
Both Microsoft and Icahn noted in their statements that there is no guarantee a transaction of any kind will definitely occur, should Icahn's slate be elected.
Despite this significant turn of events, Icahn has yet to pull the trigger and announce whether he will ultimately run a full slate of dissident directors against Yahoo's nine-member board to take control of the company, or only put forth a partial slate to go for less than a majority of the seats on the board. Until Icahn files his definitive proxy, he isn't able to distribute proxy cards asking Yahoo investors to vote for his nominees, or to hit the investor road-show circuit touting his candidates.
Although there could be a variety of reasons why Icahn has not yet filed his definitive proxy, ranging from addressing any last-minute changes requested by the Securities and Exchange Commission to unexpected delays over Fourth of July weekend, it could provide the investor activist with an additional bargaining chip in achieving a friendly Yahoo-Microsoft deal before he finalizes his proxy plans.
Meanwhile, Yahoo counterpunched, issuing a statement expressing its interest in talking to Microsoft about a buyout of the entire company, if only someone would make an actual offer, and the right kind of offer.
iPhones holds the line
Apple's iPhone 3G hit store shelves to throngs of waiting buyers, many of whom had to wait for activation server crashes to be resolved before they could get their hands on the new phones.
Apple launched the latest version of its iTunes Store a day earlier than anticipated. iTunes version 7.7, available now for Windows and Mac, includes the App Store, a method for delivering third-party iPhone applications.
However, the download appears to have some quirks: for some, the version number remained at 7.6.2, and no direct link to the App Store was available, but it could still be reached by linking here.
With more than 550 third-party applications available at launch, Apple's new mini marketplace means that for the first time since the social-application craze started more than a year ago, the hottest new trend has nothing to do with Web-based networks. The implication for Facebook, as well as open-source social network platform OpenSocial, is that if developers see more compelling reasons to build software for the iPhone instead, they could jump ship.
There might be an apples-and-oranges vibe when it comes to comparing social-platform developers with iPhone developers, but the money factor could easily make some of them willing to bridge the gap. For small-time developers, it's become increasingly tough to make a buck or two from applications on Facebook's platform, where the easiest route to cash is ad impressions.
One of the new features available at the iPhone App Store is the ability for iPhone and iPod Touch owners to use their devices as remote controls for their iTunes libraries and Apple TV boxes. With the free, 1-megabyte application installed, an iPod Touch or iPhone can use a Wi-Fi connection to control and search through an iTunes library remotely, flip around on an Apple TV, and control AirTunes speakers.
While the launch of the new iPhone App Store went fairly smoothly, the migration of Apple's .Mac service to the new MobileMe service apparently didn't go as smoothly as it could have. The scheduled changeover of users' .Mac accounts to MobileMe, or .Me accounts, was scheduled for 6 p.m. to midnight PDT Wednesday. The migration was then pushed back to 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
But Thursday at 11 a.m. PDT, neither service was accessible, at least to several people in San Francisco. Reader Deidre Wyeth also complained that .Mac account photos were inaccessible Thursday, and instead the site redirected to the Apple.com/MobileMe page.
If you aren't like the throngs of shoppers with iPhone fever, there are plenty of alternatives that offer similar style and features. And they may even be easier on your wallet in the long run.
CNET News' Marguerite Reardon has compiled a cheat-sheet that highlights key features and points out short-comings of seven possible iPhone alternatives. She also threw in pricing information, not only for the phone, but also for the service plans that go with them.
Fixing a hole
A major flaw in how the Internet works has put millions of users at risk of being steered to malicious Web sites by attackers. A flaw in the domain name system (DNS), the database that matches a host and domain name with the numerical address of a computer server, could allow an attacker to replace the addresses of popular Web sites with that of a malicious server, said Dan Kaminsky, director of penetration testing for security firm IOActive.
Kaminsky decided to gather the affected parties and discuss it with them first. Without disclosing any technical details, he said, "the severity is shown by the number of people who've gotten onboard with this patch." On March 31, Kaminsky said 16 researchers gathered at Microsoft to see whether they understood what was going on, as well as what would be a fix to affect the greatest number of people worldwide, and when they would issue this fix.
Google is battling a similar specter by using an e-mail authentication technology to keep phishers from luring Gmail users to fake eBay and PayPal Web pages in order to steal usernames and passwords. The technology, DomainKeys, uses cryptography to verify the domain of the sender of an e-mail. It allows e-mail providers to validate the domain from which an e-mail originates, and it enables easier detection of phishing attempts by helping identify abusive domains.
Meanwhile, Microsoft issued a security advisory warning about targeted attacks being launched that exploit a hole in the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer in the Microsoft Access database management system.
Basically, an attacker would have to lure a victim, via a link in an e-mail or IM for instance, to a specially crafted Web page that could exploit the security hole to allow remote code execution. This would provide the attacker with as much access to and rights on the computer as the logged-in user has.
The ActiveX control, which allows a user to view an Access report snapshot without having the standard or run-time versions of Microsoft Office Access, ships with the standalone Snapshot Viewer and with all supported versions of Microsoft Office Access except for Microsoft Office Access 2007.

On this date in 1967, Floridian Psychedelic Folk band Pearls Before Swine (a precursor to contemporary so-called "Freak Folk") began the three-day sessions for its debut album, One Nation Underground. The album would become a moderate success, selling nearly a quarter of a million copies.
One of the album's tracks, "(Oh Dear) Miss Morse," was the source of some controversy. The subversive chorus of the weird little song (essentially a banjo riff with some organ blips) consists of vocalist/songwriter Tom Rapp (and that organ) "singing" in Morse code the letters "F," "U," "C" and "K" (Dit Dit Dah Dit/Dit Dit Dah/Dah Dit Dah Dit/Dah Dit Dah).
And they would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for some meddling kids! Famous New York DJ Murray the K was busted after playing the song on the air when a few smarty-pants Boy Scouts reportedly recognized the code and called in to complain about the veiled obscenity (or maybe brag that they figured it out).
It's not the only song to feature secret Morse code messaging. Mike Oldfield's album Amarok (featuring, essentially, one hour-long track) came towards the end of his contract with Virgin Records in 1990. Oldfield sent a little note to his boss on the album; towards the end, there's a Morse code message that spells out "Fuck Off RB," referring to Virgin label chief Richard Branson.
The Rush song "YYZ" from the 1981 album Moving Pictures also features Morse coding, in a pretty ingenious manner. Drummer Neil Pert's rhythm on the song is based on Morse for "YYZ." The letters weren't especially controversial, though — they were simply the code for Toronto's airport (Rush is from the area).
Other instances of Morse code in popular music: Roger Waters' album Radio KAOS features several Morse messages; Kraftwerk used it throughout their 1975 track "Radioactivity" (it simply spells out the title); and The Clash's "London Calling" has choppy guitar feedback at the end of the song that spells out "S.O.S."
Here's the Pearls Before Swing tune. NSFW (if you work for a former Boy Scout or telegraph expert).
Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a May 7 birthday include late drummer for influential Rock bands New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, Jerry Nolan (1946); Disco diva ("Don't Leave Me This Way"), singer/songwriter and actress Thelma Houston (1946); masterful German Boogie Woogie pianist Axel Zwingenberger (1955); Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell (1961); Swedish one-hit-wonder, son of Jazz legend Don Cherry and half-brother to Neneh Cherry, Eagle-Eye Cherry (1971); drummer for British Pop/Rock stars Arctic Monkeys, Matt Helders (1986); and British singer Martina Topley-Bird (1975).
Topley-Bird is probably best known as a crucial part of Trip Hop pioneer Tricky's early (and biggest) success as vocalist on his classic album, 1995's Maxinquaye. The album made Tricky a Pop star, something that he admittedly was not prepared for and which drove him a little nuts. He recently told U.K.'s The Guardian that, going into the album's release, "I thought I'd be an underground artist. I had no idea it was going to do that and I was not ready for it." He says he spent much of the rest of his career trying to become more of a cult artist than a superstar. And he succeeded.
Topley-Bird parted ways with Tricky in 1998 and has made a trio of solo album (and worked with Gorillaz and Massive Attack). But late last month, she rejoined Tricky in England to perform Maxinquaye in its entirety. Well, that was the plan, anyway. Tricky reportedly disappeared during parts of the performances, which didn't exactly live up the "play the full album" billing. In a review of the performance in Manchester, ClashMusic.com wrote that the Tricky concert ultimately became "the Martina Topley-Bird show, with the singer providing the only reliable musical seam throughout, in contrast to an erratic and seemingly disengaged Tricky."
Here's Martina Topley-Bird's "Anything" from her acclaimed debut solo album, Quixotic.
Music Tonight: Handsome Furs is the Electro/Post Punk/No Wave project featuring Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner and his wife, keyboardist and short story author Alexei Perry. On the road supporting its latest release, Sound Kapital (on SubPop), the duo comes to Newport's Southgate House tonight. The Furs aren't fighting for positioning on the Synth Pop bandwagon, nor are they flirting with contemporary Dance music styles, as seems the case with many acts dependent on electronics. Though they hardly sound retro, the Furs have more in common with Suicide, early OMD and the raw Electro experiments that marked the bridging of Joy Division and New Order. Fittingly, Cincinnati's Eat Sugar, another Electronic act forging its own non-pandering vision of tech-driven musical adventurousness, opens up the show at 9 p.m. Tickets are $13 at the door. Read Brian Baker's preview from this week's CityBeat here. Below is Handsome Furs' video for Sound Kapital's "What About Us." WARNING: Unless you work at a Hustler store, this clip is VERY NSFW.
On this day in 2004, Frank Black, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering put their differences aside to honor their legacy and make a shit-ton of cash, reuniting for a Pixies reunion tour that recently completed its seventh year. The first show back was at Minneapolis' Fine Line Cafe, where they opened with "Bone Machine," the first song on the group's first full-length, Surfer Rosa. The band has mixed things up on their global tour by performing albums in full and, uh, mixing up the setlist (maybe?), but one thing they haven't done is record more than a smidgen of new music. On the other hand, it seems only fair that the group members reap some rewards from their influential work. It would just be interesting to hear what the four of them could come up with if they attempted a new album.
Here's "Bone Machine" performed live on a TV show in the Netherlands, "back in the day." Scrappy!
Editor's Note: Brian Penick of local music promotions company The Counter Rhythm Group is guest blogging for CityBeat monthly to provide a behind-the-scenes look at his journey to release his interactive industry guidebook, Musicians' Desk Reference.
It has been killing me to remain so broad and vague this entire time about what exactly me and my staff have been working on, and while I will attempt to be slightly more specific this time around, I am afraid that you will inevitably be strung along for yet another 30-day span, inching closer to the release this Fall.
If you have been reading these entries (or know me personally), you know I am a musician, and that I have experience touring and working in the music industry for about half of my life. While I do not necessarily claim to be an expert (I believe it requires an extreme longevity with multiple facets of success and even some failure to be given that label), I can tell you that I have an understanding of how the working elements of this business function, and that I have been able to make a career as both a performer and a servicing agent. That being said, my passion (and I do consider myself a passionate person), has become helping others to succeed in this industry through sharing my experiences and knowledge. While competition certainly has its place and can keep you sharp, ultimately we are all in this together, trying to reach a common goal of finding success. The more we work together the better the potential is for any one of us to achieve these goals.
I truly believe Musicians' Desk Reference is the next step in the evolutionary process to bind us together as a musical community. My overall intention with this project is to level the playing field as much as possible, everywhere from general theories of advancement to the specified documentation that an artist will actually work with. At the end of the day, we hope to unveil the unknown variables that musicians will face and provide the tools and the understanding and put the focus on what matters most: your music.
How do you know if Musisicans' Desk Reference is something for you? The eBook encompasses several distinct areas of the music business, ranging from the inner workings of just starting out as a musician, down the necessary paths of recording, promoting, touring and eventually building a team of industry professionals to work for you. These topics are based on my own personal experiences as a musician and with operating The Counter Rhythm Group (my music industry promotions company), in addition to many conversations with musicians over time about what topics they are most curious about. Not surprisingly, many of the requests were in the same categories, so in the end the subject matter was not too difficult to choose from.
It is an exciting time for sure, as we are literally in the last two weeks of content creation, working right along schedule with our team of professionals we have amassed to help make the dream a become a reality.
Looking ahead into the near future, I am excited to announce that we will be conducting some closed focus groups for the content, eventually leading into beta testing a full working version. All preparation is leading up to the release of the final product this Fall, and while I cannot give out too many specifics (sorry!), I can say that it will be a series of events not to be missed.
I apologize if the bulk of these blogs seem to relate more to the backstory and the generalities of the book rather than the specific content and the process behind the final product, but that is unfortunately the direction that it must take for now. While I have been hit with a wave of positivity from musicians familiar with the project, it is very clear that more explanation is required as to offer insight as to what we are actually doing over here. The process, as that of many servicing professionals, can often feel like a variety of desk jobs that exist in the world, with the obvious exception of working with fantastic clients and the ability to go to shows, travel and be among others with similar interests that are typically awesome. In all honesty, I sit at a desk and work on several computers, monitors and devices, working with my team to create, verify and edit content, hour after hour. It is nothing but work, work, work around here (especially lately), and I would not have it any other way.
I was a few months shy of 16
when I first heard the lucidly stark voice of Lou Reed stream over the
airwaves. I was just another suburban weirdo, looking for a justified rebellion
to call his own. I had spent those "formative years" sleeping around with any
album loud enough to drown out my inner white noise, moving through a steady
stream of Hardcore, Punk, Metal — if
they were screaming it, I was buying it. As it turns out, though, what I was
really looking for was a quieter sort of revolution, and at the helm was Mr.
Lou Reed, telling me with a frank honesty that there was freedom in the
composition. It was, like any great lesson, one I'd come to learn in time.
To say I enjoyed those first striking chords of "Heroin" would be an
understatement. It was on a snowy night in 2007, crammed in the back of a
friend's Yaris Liftback, when I first heard it. I can't remember exactly where
we were previous to that moment, when that raw melody first came in. All I can
remember is how I suddenly became more aware of myself than ever before.
Everything I knew about music, about artistry, about writing — all of it would
change with that first overlap of beautiful melody. I was mesmerized, shaken
from a stupor of conditioned knowledge and thrown into a concoction of John
Cale's haunting strings with Lou Reed's candid crooning. By the time Maureen
Tucker's drumming kicked in, sparse in its reverberation, my resolve would be
just as stripped, replaced by a wily knot that would take years to untie.
Though, right then, the song was just "fucking awesome."
It would only be years later, waking up to a chilled October morning in 2013,
that this memory would even begin to matter. As the headlines would come to
read, "Lou Reed Dead at 71," so, too, would the horizon appear most clearly.
I've always been a firm believer in the crossover of influences, the
collaboration of mediums in shaping any sort of artistry. As a writer, I can
proudly say that the recorded sound has had just as much influence on me as the
written word. And when I heard the Velvet Underground for the first time, it
became clear that they believed in a similar marriage, affirmed on the morning
of Oct. 27. With the news of the passing of a legend came an onslaught of
anecdotes from around the arts world, plastered against my computer screen. Amidst
the mass of legends, one story stood out in particular.
As according to
Rolling Stone, it was
1965, and the first few months of the Velvet Underground playing under their
iconic moniker. They had began a residency playing in New York's Café Bizarre
and in the beginning stages of developing their distorted and chaotically
composed sound. Management was set on having performers play more contemporary
numbers, and warned the band not to play their original composition "Black
Angel Death Song." They went on to perform the number anyway, fit with all the
chilling accidentals in its string arrangements, and were fired immediately.
Though they would emerge from that loss victorious (it led to their
introduction to Andy Warhol, the man who would come to produce their record and
put them on the map of the underground art scene of '60s New York), there was
something bigger about that moment, something more pressing in my association
with it.
Incidentally, "Black Angel Death Song" was the first thing I clicked on Sunday
morning when I heard the news of its writer's passing. The strings were
suddenly more haunting, and the story seemed all the more important. It was yet
another quintessential moment in the life of Lou Reed, a man who sang with
unbridled frankness, who played with unencumbered passion, and who inspired me
with the tirelessness of his dedication to honest expression. It transported me
back, seven years and a lifetime ago, to that night in December 2007, when I
first pricked my ears with another of his songs, that found, all at once, both
comfort and chaos within itself. Though I'd spend the lapsed time between 2007
and 2013 finding appreciation for the 40-plus years of Reed's prolific career —
from "Black Angel Death Song" and "All Tomorrow's Parties," through "Satellite
of Love" and "Pale Blue Eyes" and even up until his
Hudson River Wind Meditations — it would always be that
compositions that would stay, forever imprinted in my mind.
"Heroin" became, for me, a love song to the in between — it was everything I'd
been listening to up until that point and nothing I'd ever heard before; it was
the sentimentality of Indie Rock, the calm before the double bass in hardcore,
the simplistic, chord interplay of Punk and its cleaner cut cousin Pop. And, at
the same time, it was also the recklessness of avant-garde, the soundtrack to
the colors of an underground New York I'd only experience in preserved murals
and snapshots. It was everything I'd known, and everything I would come to know
about music, about art, about sound and about writing.
There are moments that comprise your past, songs that take you to a memory you
thought you'd left. And then there are moments that define your future, songs
that propel you forward into infinity.
Lou Reed, and what he accomplished before, with and after the Velvet
Underground, stood as a symbol for finding freedom in ones composition, and
pushing the statements made to work in a fashion of success.
It was a lesson I would learn time and time again in my own work, as I moved
through the progression of my writing and my own performance techniques. I
would come to face my own obstacles, fight my own battles against normative
expectations. And it would be in those times I fell the deepest, my resolve
threatening to falter, that this education would come back to me, mysterious in
its origins, all the while growing, like a backbone that stood rigid for honest
experimentation and freedom in the composition.
Even now, as this mystery's been unearthed, its inductor put to rest, ahead of
me remains miles and miles of still shrouded possibility. But against that wall
of lessons I'll stand, riveted, staring towards the looming unknown. And I'll
try for a different kind of kingdom, if I can.
April 29 - Super 8 Motel, Wytheville, Va.
Wytheville — pronounced "whiteville," I believe — sits at the cross of I-77 and I-81. Looking down I-81, I used to see Bristol, Tenn., and think of that time in 1927 when The Cater Family and Jimmie Rodgers separately met a rep from the Victor Talking Machine Company and recorded a couple of songs. They got paid about $100. Lot's changed since then, though the pay's about the same. These days when I look down towards Bristol I see a redneck deputy hauling a longed haired songwriter off to jail for the crime of relieving himself behind a bush. In 1981, that cost $25. There use to be a great BBQ joint in Wytheville. It's gone. too. They had the best fried chicken and blackberry cobbler.
I guess everyone wore themselves out Saturday as no one stayed up past midnight to talk or jam or whatever. On Sunday morning, with a solid six hours of sleep, I was up and drenched in coffee by 8 a.m. I packed up camp and planned what was left of my MerleFest weekend. I like to get going, so it was an easy morning and I headed out to the Traditional Tent for some Shape Note Singing with Laura Boosinger.
I misidentified this a few days ago as Sacred Heart singing. The idea is the same — using shapes for notes instead of notes on a musical staff. Sacred Heart uses four notes. Shape Note uses seven. The workshop I attended was about those seven notes and how to sing them. It's pretty straight forward — anyone who's ever seen The Sound of Music and sang "Do Re Mi" will get the idea. "Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti" — each note has a particular shape attached to it and you sing that note when you see that shape. Laura talks about the history of Congregational singing, why they use shapes (people actually patented musical notation at one time) and how Sacred Heart differs from Shaped Note contextually, historically and regionally. Pretty cool stuff, even if the Traditional Tent smells like a barn and is now filled with flies. Laura is also really funny, cracking denominational jokes that the churchgoers find hilarious. I don't get them.
My interest in Sacred Heart/Shaped Note singing came when I wandered into a church one Sunday morning 30 or so years ago. I was wandering around northern Alabama on a motorcycle making my way to the Natchez Trace and then south to New Orleans when I stopped for a breather and cool air beneath a tree. I heard the singing as soon as my head stopped rattling. I slipped inside the outer part of a church and heard the most glorious harmonies — not sweet or beautiful, but primitive and inspiring.
In Shape Note, everyone is singing to the pitch the lead singer has identified. There is no piano, no organ, no hip dude playing guitar, only imperfect humans looking for the most comfortable place for their voice to sing. Your split into four groups depending on your vocal range — altos (includes sopranos), tenors, bass (includes baritones) and leads (anyone who can't but follow the melody regardless of range). I go to the bass group. Each group has a different part to sing — the altos, basses and tenors all singing a harmony part and the leads singing the melody. When it all comes together it unifies the same way most old time music does. It's wondrous and miraculous; if there is a place where God exists, it is inside the dissonance that has congealed into a thing so coherent and beautiful that any existence of God outside of it becomes marginal and meaningless.
I leave the Traditional Tent invigorated and inspired and head back to camp to pack the van. Everything packed and lunch consumed, I head back to the Traditional Tent for one last show before heading home — "Women Singing Traditional Music." On stage are women ages 20 -70, including hosts Carol Rifkin and Gaye Johnson, Brooke Buckner, Laura Boosinger, Joan Wernick, Tara Nevins (Donna the Buffalo), Kim McWhirter and Gailanne Amundsen (Jubal's Kin). All give outstanding performances, but Kim McWhirter brings the house down with a moving version of the Dolly Parton song "Crippled Bird" (which in turn is based on an English Broadside) sung in a sweet mountain lilt and strummed sparingly on guitar.
A wonderful to finish to a great MerleFest.
MerleFest is so much more then one guy can write about, no matter how much he tries. I like what I like — new bands and rediscovering old favorites. In addition to what I see and hear, there are workshops on everything from clawhammer banjo to dulcimer playing, a kids stage and activities, open mics, sitting and picking, indoor concerts, food, vendors galore. It is amazing how much music and activity the organizers pack into one day (and then clean it all up and do it again).
A lot of people stream in mid-afternoon for the nighttime concert. As mentioned, these always feature name acts. I am most fortunate to be able to tag along with my sister, help her in her booth and receive onsite camping privileges in exchange. By 8 p.m., I'm pretty exhausted and looking forward to reading under the remaining light and then laying back and hearing what's on the main stage.
This year they had some good acts. Thursday night the very humble and talented (and maybe the last real Country act standing in Nashville) Vince Gill had a fine set. Saturday I was fortunate to hear Derek Trucks take Sam Bush and his band to school on how to play melodious improvisation on the Clapton tune "Bell Bottom Blues." Derek Trucks is the living heir on slide guitar to the dead-to-early Duane Allman and he has unquestionably extended that legacy way past a wink and a nod and into something quite imaginative and bold. His wife Susan Tedeschi joined them on The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" and hit all the backing vocal parts with soul.
Later that night, Trucks and Tedeschi helped Los Lobos to new heights on a cover of the Grateful Dead's "Bertha." They sounded like they were having a blast, and my noisy camp neighbors confirmed as much the next morning as they were on stage watching the whole thing go down. Unfortunately, I slept through most of Los Lobos set and the Tedeschi/Trucks set Saturday night, though I caught the first few songs, and they sounded quite excellent. Good sleeping music — that's a compliment!
As I watched the news of Gaddafi's death yesterday morning (and heard the news about the Occupy Cincinnati protesters last night), I couldn't help thinking about how humans have had a pretty good year so far. To be clear, I don't think the answer to murder is more killing — I didn't rejoice in the death of another human. What I was so optimistic about was the sheer power behind the human voice. I'm excited to witness millions of people all over the world using their voices to stand up for what they want.

MORE Australian men commit suicide immediately after news stories about suicides in the country's two main metropolitan newspapers, The Age in Melbourne and The Sydney Morning Herald. Riaz Hassan, a sociologist at Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, analysed the 19 425 suicides in Australia between January 1981 and December 1990.
In the latest issue of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Hassan says that the average daily suicide rate for men over the 10-year period was 4.13. This jumped to 4.62 on the day that a suicide story featured prominently in the two newspapers and for the two days after.
Suicides among women did not increase in the same way. Hassan offers three possible explanations for the difference between men and women. First, most of the suicide stories are about men and many studies worldwide have shown that imitation is a factor in suicide. Secondly, more men ...

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2 Spoiler: When Will Emma Return Mr. Gold's Favor?
One of the most important plot points from Once Upon a Time Season 1 involves Emma (Jennifer Morrison), Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle), and one huge favor. Back in Season 1, Episode 4: "The Price of Gold," Emma begged Mr. Gold to allow Ashley Boyd/Cinderella (Jessy Schram) to keep her baby, and he agreed — but only if Emma would return his favor at any time he asked.
In an interview with TVGuide, producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis were asked if Emma's favor will come into play in Season 2, and they answered, "Hell yes!"
Some fans believe that Mr. Gold will use the favor to help him find his son Baelfire, whose fate is unknown after he disappeared into the ground in Fairytale Land. August Booth (Eion Bailey) tricked Mr. Gold into thinking he was Baelfire, but that was only so he could get help with his Pinocchio problems.
Another theory is that Mr. Gold will use Emma to hurt Regina (Lana Parrilla). And he has some major leverage in the form of Henry (Jared Gilmore). But would Emma ever do something against her will? More importantly, what would be Emma's punishment if she doesn't obey Mr. Gold's rules?
We'll be watching for answers!
Once Upon a Time Season 2 premieres on September 30, 2012 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Press Moulds Ceramic Course (May 13th & 20th 2014)
AboutThis course, taught by artist Ruth Dupre will explore the use of Simple Plaster Press Moulds and Air Drying Clay in an exciting and thought provoking short course. Day 1. Students bring one or two objects that will form the starting point for a piece of work. These objects need to be very simple, with no undercuts. They can be used to make simple plaster moulds from, or can be used to help form shapes, pressing clay into them with the cling film preventing it sticking. These shapes can then be added to using other building techniques. Textures will be made by pressing clay onto objects like bark, grids, rubber mats, concrete anything with an interesting texture. Day 2. Similar to day 1 but this time we will additionally use the moulds made in the previous week's session. The surface can be painted with any paint, or anything you so choose to experiment withâ¦.even tar and feathers! Please note: these additional finishing materials need to be provided by participants on the course, only a sample selection will be provided for demonstration purposes. Please note there will be a charge for air drying clay of £2.00 per 500g Course cost: £130 Course date: Tuesday 13th May & Tuesday 20th May 2014 Course times: 10am to 4.00pm Number of places available: 12 Tutor: Ruth Dupre MA (RCA)

Humberto (2007):
Observatory Newsroom:
Though it was not a powerful storm,
Hurricane Humberto did set a record when it formed in the Gulf of
Mexico and came ashore at the Texas–Louisiana state line in
mid-September 2007. According to National Hurricane Center records, no
storm has ever developed to hurricane strength so rapidly so close to
landfall; forecast discussions reported that the storm went from a
tropical depression with wind speeds of 30 knots (about 55
kilometers/hour, or 35 miles/hour) at 10:00 a.m. U.S Central Daylight
Time on September 12 to a 75-knot hurricane (139 km/h, 86 mph) at 4:00
a.m. on September 13.
Despite the short duration of the hurricane, href="http://www.postmagazine.co.uk/public/showPage.html?page=post_breakingnews_story&tempPageName=468667">losses
were estimated at $200 million. Other comments:
" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20742710/">It was amazing
to go to sleep to a tropical storm and wake up to a hurricane," he
said. "What are you going to do? You couldn't get up and drive away.
You couldn't run for it. You just have to hunker down."
a meeting Friday morning, someone asked if the county had
considered ordering an evacuation for Humberto, Walker said.
Walker, who first learned of the impending hurricane about 1:30 a.m.
Thursday, laughed as he noted that the hurricane would already have
come and gone before officials could have even given public notice.

This weekend's activity on the trade and free agent market probably affects the Orioles more than what occurred in the four days of the Winter Meetings.
The Orioles nor any other American League East team were going to sign Zack Greinke. The Dodgers' predictably enormous contract for Greinke, reportedly for six years and $147 million, has little relevance to Baltimore.
Josh Hamilton's eventual re-signing with Texas or moving to Seattle probably won't have much effect on the Orioles, either. Hamilton would surely interest the Orioles, but only if his market crashed.
Two transactions this weekend had far reaching effects on the team. The first was Mark Reynolds' one year, $6 million contract with Cleveland.
That made it obvious that the Orioles didn't really want Reynolds back. First, they declined his $11 million option for next season, which was expected. Then, afraid of paying him perhaps as much as $9 million through the arbitration process, they make no effort to sign him and don't tender him a contract.
Despite Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter's warm words for Reynolds, the Orioles think that Chris Davis will be better at first.
If Duquette really wanted Reynolds, even after letting him go, they could have made an offer equal to or slightly exceeding Cleveland's. Last year, Reynolds made $7.5 million.
The Indians train in Arizona, which enables Reynolds to train at home, and have an accomplished new manager in Terry Francona. Reynolds will return to Baltimore with Cleveland from June 24-27.
The Indians supposedly had been one of the favorites to sign Nick Swisher. Last week, the Orioles flirted with Swisher. Once Nate McLouth re-signed with the team, Duquette downplayed any interest in Swisher.
Reynolds' move could short circuit the Indians' pursuit of Swisher. He can play the outfield and first base, but if he has one fewer suitor, then perhaps his price drops enough to interest the Orioles.
Besides Hamilton and Swisher, there are still some bats available on the free agent market including Cody Ross and Kevin Youkilis. Both could fit with the Orioles, but not at their current asking price.
The bigger news for the Orioles was the trade between Kansas City and Tampa Bay. The Rays sent pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals for four young players, outfielder Wil Myers, third baseman Patrick Leonard and pitchers Jake Ordorizzi and Mike Montgomery.
Myers is an exciting prospect who hit 37 home runs and 109 RBIs in Double-A and Triple-A last year. He hit .314, but struck out 140 times.
This trade probably removes the possibility of the Royals trading Billy Butler or Eric Hosmer to Baltimore. The Orioles will have to look to Washington for Michael Morse if Adam LaRoche re-signs or Pittsburgh for Garret Jones to add a big bat.
One name that hasn't been mentioned is Delmon Young. Last season, Young batted .267 with 18 home runs and 74 RBIs and one publicized arrest.
On a visit to New York, a drunken Young spewed anti-Semitic remarks and attacked a group of tourists. Young said he's taken steps to clean up his image.
If the Orioles are looking for a big bat, perhaps Young will fit in, but he struck out nearly six times as often as he walked. Even though Reynolds was a strikeout machine, he walked regularly, too.

Welcome to the Emergency Medicine Residency Program
The Department of Emergency Medicine is focused on providing diverse educational experience for our emergency medicine residents leading to board certification. Each resident will have ample opportunity to develop clinical skills through formal education and direct patient care with an emergency medicine team that cares for more than 140,000 patients each year.
We are eager to offer you the opportunity to learn at one of Pennsylvania's largest teaching hospitals. Graduate medical education is a valued tradition that began more than a half-century ago at Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN).
LVHN offers the unique benefits of residency training in both a community hospital and a regional referral center. The hospital's high patient volume, dedicated teaching attendings and diversity of clinical services create an outstanding environment for graduate medical education.
LVHN has more than 950 beds in operation, and the educational experience is broadened by an aeromedical transport system that conducts flights for our regional Level I trauma center.
Residents work in LVHN's pediatric emergency room and also rotate at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the nation's first pediatric hospital that ranks among the best in multiple specialities according to U.S. News and World Report. The program also includes rotations through inpatient pediatric floors and the pediatric intensive care unit, making you comfortable taking care of the sickest of our pediatric patients.
The residency program also gives residents the unique experience available at the George E. Moerkirk Emergency Medicine Institute, which trains more than 10,000 students annually and uses sophisticated teaching tools that include a human patient simulator.
You will have ample EMS/disaster medicine training. Annual drills are held during Grand Rounds, where we take out the Mobile Surge Tents, put on HAZMAT gear and learn about bioterrorism response, multi-casualty incident command and natural disaster response. You will have the opportunity to become an EMS Resident Medical Director for one of our many local EMS agencies, including MedEvac.
Residents will have the opportunity to provide acute medical care for participants and attendees at events such as NASCAR races at Pocono Raceway, the LVHN VIA Marathon and Bethlehem's widely acclaimed week-long Musikfest.
Our pod system allows for dedicated one-on-one time with the attending. As you grow in your role as a physician you will gain increased responsibility teaching junior residents and medical students. You receive on-shift feedback as well as written feedback through the New Innovations website.
You will attend national-caliber lectures. Several of our faculty are prominent national speakers. We also bring in national speakers from across the country nearly every month. These are the same speakers you will see at SAEM, ACEP, AAEM and ACOEP conferences.
Research is a top priority, as is evidence-based medicine. We have many attendings who are dedicated to providing the most current medical care. Journal club occurs monthly, during which current articles are discussed in a group setting. All residents are required to participate in a research project. Staff members and researchers are available to assist at all times.

FFR System Enhanced, Integrates With Several Hemo Systems
A marketing agreement with Siemens Medical Solutions unveiled at ACC 2010 expands access to wireless PressureWire Aeris fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement system. Siemen's AXIOM Sensis XP cath lab hemodynamic recording system can now immediately display, measure and save FFR data. This documents the severity of coronary lesions, together with other procedural data and angiographic imagery. The FFR system is now compatible with the GE Mac-Lab Hemodynamic Recording System, Mennen Horizon XVu and the McKesson Horizon Cardiology Hemo solution.
The wireless technology of the PressureWire Aeris also eliminates cables crossing the sterile field.
A modified version of the PressureWire Certus FFR wire was also introduced at ACC 2010. It includes a new design and functionality that will provide physicians with more controlled handling. It is the only guide wire to offer the combined measurement of pressure and temperature, which enables calculations of FFR, coronary flow reserve (CFR) and an index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR).

Yes, there is a microphone built right into the device, and it works seamlessly with the device, so you don't need any extra special cables.

There's a very good quality condenser mic built in to ONE. It's directly under the "one by Apogee" printing below the control knob. You don't need to use the breakout cable unless you want to use an external condenser mic.

545 Tasting Notes
I had a bad first experience with Lapsang Souchong. It smelled like bacon and tasted like watered down burned bacon grease. That being said, I am a little nervous over this tea because the smell of the dried leaf came back to me very quickly. I brewed this for two minutes and it smells smokey. More like grillhouse smoker type of smoke and less campfire this time.
It isn't bad. It isn't what I was expecting either. Yes, it does taste like smoke but it also has a mild and barely detectable sweetness. But I mostly taste smoke and I'm not the biggest fan of that taste. It makes me feel better about Lapsang Souchong now and I know that the tea itself isn't bad.
If you like lapsang souchong, I believe that you would really love this one. I'm not rating this one because it isn't a bad tea. I'm just not overly fond of it.
It is a cold and rainy day today, so I decided to break out my flavored milk oolong that Teavivre generously sent me to try. Now, I do have to confess that I have had it at least one time before and I just forgot to log it. I also figured that it would be good to review this after I drank the regular milk oolong.
I tossed about 4 teaspoons into my french press this time. I normally brew about 3 teaspoons at a time, but I had a little extra fall when I was shaking out the packet. So I will actually try to steep this tea to death this time because of the slight extra I used. I don't want to waste any.
So far, the first steep at 2 minutes is very smooth. It has a slight milky scent and is creamy on the tongue. Because it is flavored, the milky quality is upped to the point where I can almost smell warm milk. There is no mineral taste at all yet. It is all satin on the tongue.
Second Steep at about 2 and a half minutes. I noticed that the liquor was a bright golden and it smelled ready, so I stopped it there instead of going onto three minutes. The smell is divine! It smells even better than the first steep. The leaves were opening up more and I can see that the leaves are going to be huge. They still aren't fully open yet. The taste is still creamy smooth. There is a hint of floral riding with the taste now and a slight caramel hint. It is present enough to make my tastebuds register it as a sweet taste. Not overly sweet, but sweet enough. So second steep, nice and sweet.
Third Steep is even more golden in color than the second steep! Wow. And it has only been for brewing for three minutes now. It is starting to smell wonderfully buttery and I am restraining burying my nose deep into my cup. It now tastes sweet. The sweetness was creeping up in the second steep, but this steep is starting to taste like I put a little agave syrup in it. Not sugar sweet, but agave sweet. It is two distinct sweet tastes. The milky taste is starting to turn and starting to taste creamy instead of milky. There is still no mineral taste like there is in the regular milk oolong. There is a slight taste of green in there because of the oolong base, but no minerals.
It is time for the Fourth Steep! I swear, this tea is like honey dripping out of my french press. Warm and creamy scent to the nose still. I steeped it about 3.5 minutes. The silky smooth taste has drifted from milky to creamy. It is not as sweet as the third steep, but you can tell that it is much sweeter than the first and second steeps. I feel almost like I am drinking a dessert tea. The flavor is not waning at all yet. I am starting to get a hint of butter on the right tip of my tongue. Just a hint. Other than that it is all golden smooth cream. I am still not tired of the flavor yet.
I'm going to pause for a moment before the fifth steep and think about how I have taken one thing of tea from breakfast until dinner and probably one more drink after dinner if the flavor is still strong enough on this steep. Brewed this one for a whole four minutes. It is still as golden as it ever was. It is beautiful. It smells like butter to me now. No more milk, no more cream. Just butter. Wow, just wow. It tastes like cream. Thick and sweet cream. Five steeps in and it still tastes like this. I'm blown away.
I took a shower and decided that I at least needed to go onto the sixth steep. So now I smell like lavender and the tea still smells like butter. This one sat for four and a half minutes. It is starting to develop a very light mineral smell. I think the green oolong might finally be showing its head through the flavor. The flavor is definitely a little lighter on this steep. There is a lot less of a creamy mouthfeel in this steep than was present in the last steep. The flavor is still present but has developed into butter that you can taste best on the back and sides of your tongue. It is still sweet though.
I am stopping at the sixth steep even though I think the flavor could carry you through at least one more steep. The flavor profile is weakening and I think the next steeps will be weaker and weaker. That being said, every steep I made was like steeping enough for two cups so I got at least 12 cups of tea out of this. That is a lot of tea!
I now know why people really like milk oolongs. They are light and sweet. I think I may have found a new favorite type of tea besides Earl Grey. I am delighted that Teavivre let me try and enjoy this tea.
Thanks for being patient with my tea review for today. Next time I do a big one like this, I'm putting it in a notebook first. I didn't expect to go through six steepings of this wonderful tea!
This is like an instant-calm potion. I take a sip and I can just feel myself relax. It is tea like this that makes me wish I either had a fantastic thermos bottle to bring hot water down with me or an electric kettle that I can keep in my room.
I will be surprised if I drink another tea today. I might bring this one through lots of steepings from now until bedtime.
I love this one, and I can't imagine why I haven't ordered it yet. This is going on my next Teavivre order.
It is really fantastic. Because I like this one so much I have been eyeing the white aged yunnan cake. It opened up a whole world of white teas for me.
Verdant Tea. http://verdanttea.com/teas/aged-yunnan-silver-needle-white-cak/ I read a review from somebody on here. I just don't remember who.
I brewed a second steep last night with my fiancee and a friend. It was after we had a big dinner, so I figured it was a good tea to have to help us digest. I had it brewed for three minutes this time and it had a stronger flavor. It was still very mild and my friend that tried it said that it didn't have that strong of a flavor. This makes me hopeful that it will still be nice and mild while still retaining that earthy flavor that I do love from the pu-erh teas.
I forgot to log my tea notes yesterday. I finally broke into the pu-erh that Teavivre sent to me. I forgot to check how much leaf to put into my french press, so I only put about 2 teaspoons worth.
The first steep was a very light color. So light that my dad noticed and asked if it was too weak. I just told him it was a different sort of tea and I only brewed it for two minutes, so I didn't question the light color. The flavor was slightly earthy, but not as strong as some of the other pu-erhs I have tried. It was very pleasant and mellow. I think I would have to try a little bit more leaf to make up my mind about it though.
I feel like I am re-discovering my tea basket over in this little corner of the internet. Smooth and light with a hint of butter. I'm in heaven right now. I forgot how much I adored this dragon well.

Hey fellow Droid X users. I recently noticed a problem with my Droid X. When I go to my apps drawer and try to look at my gallery by obviously tapping the gallery icon my Droid X tries to load it but then backs up to the apps drawer and then to my home screen. Does anyone else have this problem. I noticed the problem after I downloaded the last software update not too long ago. I am also using LauncherPro Plus but have uninstalled it and reinstalled it to see if that was the problem and it wasn't. I need help! I don't want to have to take it into Verizon.

Oldtimer 1938, thanks for your comments. I must point out that it is actually very easy for the Legislature to override Alabama's governor when he vetoes a bill. All it takes is a simple majority vote of those elected to the 105-member House (53) and the 35-member Senate (18). If a bill passes easily and the governor vetoes it, you can bet the Legislature will override that veto.

I generally try not to enter the fray, but I have to address two comments. First, shrutebeets, with regard to your taking the editorial writer to task for the Hitler reference, it came from a sign at the bingo confrontation on the State House steps Tuesday that said "Impeach Gov. Adolf Hitler." As for your Obama conspiracy with Alabama constitution reform, I can't even begin to unravel that.
Also, oldtimer1938, our position on letting the people vote is not inconsistent. We have written many editorials advocating a vote of the people on the gambling issue.

Twk, I appreciate your kind thoughts, but unless you know something my bosses at The Birmingham News haven't told me, I still work for the paper. For now. Until further notice. Thanks,

How to Become a U.S. Citizen (Part 1)
Achieving US citizenship through naturalization is a major milestone for most immigrants to the United States. Most frequently, future immigrants come to the U.S. on a temporary visa, and later, they become permanent residents. US citizenship is the last step in a long process.
In this video, Carl Shusterman, a former INS Citizenship Attorney (1976-82) whose seven-attorney law firm has assisted thousands of persons across the United States in becoming citizens through for over 30 years, explains the basics of the process.
How long do you have to have a green card in order to become a US citizenship through naturalization? Five years, three years or are you exempt from this requirement? Do you qualify as a person of "good moral character"? What is you were convicted of a crime or have an immigration violation? What kind of questions will you be asked at your naturalization interview? How difficult is the history and government test? Can you become a U.S. citizen without losing the citizenship of your country of birth? Should you go to the interview alone or should you hire an attorney to accompany you?
We hope that our video answers many of your questions about the naturalization process. If you have additional questions, we strongly suggest that you schedule a legal consultation with an experienced immigration attorney.
Additional information about US citizenship through naturalization is available in Part II of this video and on our US Citizenship web page.
US Citizenship Resources
"I highly recommend the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman for any immigration matter. They are very professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable. They were always available and very prompt in addressing my questions. The whole process went very smoothly and I got my Citizenship." (More client reviews…)

Countywide science festival expands into North County
Science will take center stage this month with a weeklong program of public events tied to the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering 2012. The idea is to encourage youths in San Diego County to investigate interactive science exhibits and activities, and get them considering careers in science, engineering, math and technology.
This year's festival has grown in size and geographic scope with dozens of family programs countywide, including children's events at Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State University, a crime scene demonstration by the Escondido Police Department and a day program at Legoland California in Carlsbad
There will be a huge and mostly free Science Family Day in Balboa Park on Saturday, and the 58th Annual Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair in the Balboa Park Activity Center next week. And the festival concludes March 24 with the free Science & Engineering Expo at Petco Park, which will have more than 135 hands-on exhibits and 16 stage performances.
Organizers expect more than 75,000 people to attend.
Here's a brief overview. For a complete schedule, visit sdsciencefestival.com .
Science Family Day ---- 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday in Balboa Park. More than two dozen museums will present family-friendly science programs. Many are free, and most museums hosting events will offer free children's admission (with paid adult). Highlights are the Cherry Blossom Festival of Japanese culture at the Japanese Friendship Garden; a Paper Airplane Festival, where kids can create and fly their own aircraft, at the San Diego Air & Space Museum; the San Diego Floral Association's "Joy of Butterflies" live butterfly release (at 1 p.m.) in Zorro Garden; art-themed crafts at the San Diego Museum of Art; an IMAX trivia challenge and science crafts at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center; a botany presentation and craft at the San Diego Natural History Museum; and storytelling at the Timken Museum of Art. Booths will also be set up along El Prado with music demonstrations, a skull display, dance performances and children's experiments. Visit balboapark.org .
Super STEM Saturday ---- 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Cal State San Marcos.

Announcing CRM WF Date/Time UtilitiesPosted by Blake Scarlavai on July 31, 2012 | Comments (2)
I am pleased to announce the CRM WF Date/Time Utilities. It consists of three custom workflow activities that help extend the limitations of Date/Time fields in CRM. Together these utilities can be pretty powerful when working with Date/Time fields in CRM Workflows. First, lets go over each of the three custom workflow activities.
Get Date Parts
This utility will take in a Date/Time field and return all the parts of the Date/Time such as the day, month, year, hour, minute, second, and millisecond. This is useful for a Check Condition in a workflow if you need to check for a specific time or date of the field.
Set Date Parts
This utility will take in a Date/Time field and allow a specific part of the Date/Time field to be overwritten. For example, you could always set a Date/Time to 5pm by passing in the Date/Time field and 5 for the "Hour" parameter of this workflow activity.
Add Date Parts
This utility is similar to "Set Date Parts" but instead of overriding a part of the Date/Time field, it will add a date part onto the existing Date/Time field. In the above example, if you pass in 5 for the "Hour" parameter, it will add 5 hours to the existing Date/Time rather than setting the Time to 5pm.
With that, here's an example workflow that shows off some of the power of the Date/Time Utilities.
Birthday Fix Workflow
The goal of this workflow is to workaround the native time zone issue when storing Date fields in CRM. If you use a Date only field such as Birthdate, CRM will store the time as midnight in the user's local time zone. The issue with this is that, for example, if a user who updates the Birthdate field is in Central time zone and a user in Mountain time zone views the Birthdate, it will be one day earlier. This is because the Date/Time field is stored as midnight Central time which is 11 PM Mountain time the day before.
With the SonomaPartners.DateTimeUtilities, we can work around the time zone issue with a workflow using four simple steps.
1) First add a step for GetDateParts passing the Birthdate field into the custom activity.
2) Next use a Check Condition on the result of the GetDateParts custom activity. We want to check if the "Hour" is NOT set to 12. This way the Birthdate will not be updated multiple times if the Hour is already set to Noon.
3) Add a step for a successful Check Condition from step 1. This step will call SetDateParts passing in the Birthdate field and also with the "Hour" argument set to 12. This will overwrite the Midnight Date/Time field and set it to Noon.
Note: The default value of each argument is -2147483648 (the minimum value of an integer), therefore if you update the arguments after the first save, you will see each previous null value set to -2147483648 which is intended.
4) Lastly, add a native workflow step to Update the Contact record setting the Birthdate field to the result of the SetDateParts activity. This will set the Birthdate to Noon which gives some buffer so that users in other time zones will still see the same Date rather than the day before or the day after.
The finished workflow:
Scheduled Process
When Microsoft releases the ability to deploy custom workflow assemblies to CRM Online, these Date/Time Utilities could provide some great flexibility. By utilizing the utilities, a scheduled process could be built for CRM Online using a workflow with a few steps.
1) Create a workflow that is marked as on-demand and a child process.
2) Add a step to execute a custom workflow activity that performs a desired operation.
3) Pass the Process Execution Time into the AddDateParts custom activity and set the "Day" argument to 1
4) Create a Wait condition and set the Process Timeout equal to the result of the AddDateParts activity.
5) Kick off the same workflow as a child process
This workflow can then be triggered on-demand and will wait until the next day to trigger again. A SetDateParts activity could be used after the AddDateParts activity to set a specific time for this workflow to trigger.
Source and Download
The workflow assembly and source code for the Date/Time Utilities can be found on CodePlex. Both CRM 4.0 and 2011 versions are available. Head there and follow the project for any updates. As always, any feedback is appreciated!
After registering the code activity by plugin registration tool, when i try to use it in workflow i am receiving System.ServiceModel.FaultException exception.
Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: Unsupported type: System.Nullable`1
I verified the code, and i am sure that i am not using any nullable objects.
Any help will be appreciated.

I created an issue for this on CodePlex (http://wfdatetimeutilities.codeplex.com/workitem/1). Do you have a screenshot that you can post to the work item? Also what UR is installed?

Tips and Tricks
Tips and Tricks for the JBR, TT, and North road
Here's a little info of things that will make other people doing a trip up here enjoy themselves alot more.
1. BUGS: There's tonnes of blackflies so going later in the season (late Aug early Sep) really helps. Also bring a bug hat at a minimum. If the temps get much above 5C they are out.
2. Its COLD!: Three of us bought second sleeping bags on this trip. Even though its nice and toasty durring the day it's cold at night. We had frost on our tents every night. I also had the liner in my jacket 90% of the time. Warm gloves and heated grips are nice too.
3. Gas: My KLR gets ~300 KM before hitting reserve when fully loaded. My tank holds around 23 L (6 Gal) so I carried another 20L to be able to do the trip. There are a bunch of gas stations but some have short hours. We lucked out in the fact that it was almost Caribou season and everything was open. Including buying gas at the end of the TT.
4. Speed: Despite the fresh graded sections we were able to maintain some wickid speeds. Offroad I was averaging somewhere around 95Km/h with the straight sections being over 120Km/h. On the JBR was another story, the speed limit is 100Km/h and you have 600Km of road with no cops. This means BAD gas Mileage!!! So bring a bit extra gas even if you think you'll make it.
5. James Bay: When going to James Bay don't go to Chisasibi. Instad half way there you will see a turn off heading north across a dam. That is the way we went and it's much more beautiful. You also get a less obstructed view of the water.
6. Water: Always cary at least a liter of water with you. When we headed to James bay most people didn't realize that it's SALT Water! Whoops! Also we didn't always end up camping near water and when we were in the gravel pit we ended up pumping water from a large puddel with my water filter.
7. Cell Phones: Supprisingly Bell/Telus (CDMA Phones) worked in alot of places including Radisson. GSM phones (Rogers, AT&T, etc.) did not.
8. Wifi: There is wifi at the Auberge Radisson (Name: Zone_1 WEP Key: Radisson_1 , Zone_2/Radisson_2, etc.) You need to be in the lobby for it to work. Also throttlemeister found free wifi at a resturant in Radisson. Finally there is free wifi at Mirage Outfitters but it's VERY SLOW. If you have a phone (iPhone) that can do VOIP calls set it up before hand just in case.
9. Maps:

That's about it for now. If there's more I'll make another post.

I locate'd this file: /lib/libreadline.so.4.2
so I guess it's 4.2...
Could it be something to do with $TERM ? Mine's
set to "xterm", but iirc sometimes people use
"linux" or some such. ?
