I am often described as outgoing, dynamic,...
I am often described as outgoing, dynamic, engaging and vibrant. This never fails to surprise me, because I think of myself as somewhat shy and reserved. Maybe that's just in comparison to my larger-than-life Irish family. I can promise you I am passionate, intelligent, a great conversationalist, a bit of a flirt, and a very loyal friend. I love film, live music, offbeat adventures, lazy Sunday mornings, big smiles, dependable people and spellcheck. I don't know how to cook, buy I am trying to learn. So far, I have mastered all the versions of eggs and not much else. So if breakfast is your favorite meal, you are in luck. I am a novice at CrossFit, which I really enjoy. I exercise regularly, for mental clarity and to ensure I can keep eating all those eggs without getting fat. I work professionally in politics. My job does not define me, but it is a significant part of my life. So, if you can't stand politics, we are likely not a good match. I do enjoy meeting others with a passion for current affairs, advocacy, social and economic justice, etc. But the most important thing is that you have a passion for something! Love to fix cars? Into running your business? Family is your top priority? Whatever it is, as long as there's something that says you are about more than just...you. So, why am I single? I never thought I'd be divorced at 36. But I was married too young, to my best friend. We are still close, and co-parent very well. I have kids 50% of the time, and the rest of the time I'm on my own. My kids, by the way, are awesome, awesome creatures. Who am I looking for? A nice guy. A smart guy. A guy who likes to have fun and travel and listen to live music and see lots of movies and maybe even dance. A guy who understands what chemistry is and knows how to make the most of it. What will really impress me is your kindness to cashiers, your sense of humor and joy, and your desire to give love freely and generously to friends, family, and your partner.

44 year old woman | Gainesville, GA, USA | Seeking men 39-50 in Georgia, United States
The Creative Heart
I am a single Mom and Graphic Designer who loves the arts as well as sports. I'm just as athletically inclined as I am artistic. My passions are dance, illustration, cooking, wine, designing, music, running, aerobics and any activity on the water. Of course my number one priority is my daughter. She's the center of my world and comes first. She's such a great kid and she makes me want to be a great Mom. I love children and animals. I've rescued quite a few animals over the years and assisted in finding them good homes. I am currently volunteering at the Humane Society. I have also volunteered as an advocate for abused and neglected children through CASA. I feel it's our responsibility as adults to protect children, which is why I have a strong conviction to do so. Sometimes my conviction gets mistaken for stubborness, but I am very open minded and willing to consider all possibilities. My strongest attributes are my eyes and my smile. My strongest virtues are my kindness, loyalty and honesty. I am very direct, and do not like to play games. I am neither extroverted nor introverted . . . I'm somewhere in the middle. Just like a lot of females I am emotionally driven, but I have the sensitivity and compassion to empathize. I am 100% Irish Leo, therefore I am strong and confident, but soft and feminine at the same time. I'm passive, but by no means submissive; for a female I'm pretty laid back. I am a very passionate and sensual person. I love affection and attention, but spending quality time, and doing the small & big stuff for my partner is how I show my love. I try to stay fit & healthy and would like the same in my partner. I believe the best relationships are those that inspire and bring out the best in us. I would like someone who shares the same mentality. I am looking for someone who is passionate, caring, kind, strong and confident. I think a confident man is a sexy man. I also like a man who knows who he is and knows his role (a lot of men now a days like to fall into the female role). That's a huge turn off for me. He has to have a genuine love and respect for children and animals. I like a man who takes care of himself, and find magnetic eyes and great smile weakening. He must be emotionally and mentally stable with a great sense of humor. Honesty is a MUST. I don't have a lot of patience for lying, deceite and selfishness . . .I find it intolerable. I believe one's character is forged by the choices one makes & being a person of their word. Trust is necessary . . . without it there is no relationship. My long term goal is to fall in love, and have a happy, healthy relationship with man of my dream. I will make sure he knows how much he's loved, appreciated and desired . . . . everyday. I would also appreciate someone with a creative side, or at least an understanding of mine. It just makes it easier to relate. FYI all my pictures are recent, and I think accurately reflect me. Although I've been consistantly told my pix don't do me justice. Evidentally I'm prettier in person than I am through the lens:) But I will leave that assessment up to you. So if you think we're compatible please email. I wish everyone luck in their search. Disclaimer . . . if you are a serial dater, looking for hook ups or have demons from past relationships I am not your girl. Please move on. Thank you :)

If anything makes us want to stare out a rain-spattered window with mascara-stained tears running down our cheeks, it's hearing that My Chemical Romance fired drummer Michael Pedicone. "The relationship between My Chemical Romance and Michael Pedicone is over," the band's guitarist Frank Iero posted on their site last Friday. "He was caught red handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington." Pedicone has been replaced, at least temporarily, by Jarrod Alexander of Dead Country, who is probably already sick of everyone else's devastated sighs.
Continued Iero, "The band has no intention of pressing charges or taking this matter any further than we have to. We just want him out of our lives. The people who play in this band are a family, and family should not take advantage of each other like he did." Michael Pedicone's Twitter offered a more cryptic explanation, claiming "What happened is more complicated than it sounds but I did make a mistake. It was never my intention to hurt this band or all of you." Yet another person learns the hard-way never to touch Gerard Way's laser-protected Manic Panic stash.

Mumbai, Sep 21 (IANS) Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who is the new brand ambassador of Flying Machine jeans and all set to shoot for its ad films, says it is anything but easy to work in ad films.
Abhishek Bachchan" src="http://india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/abhishek_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5"> 'I think it's far tougher doing an ad. Within two minutes one has to say what one gets to say in nearly three hours in movies. So, yes, I enjoy doing ads,' he said.
'Flying Machine is a special challenge because here I'm going to be instrumental in taking the product ahead of where it is. Hopefully, far ahead,' Abhishek told IANS.
Abhishek, who unveiled a new collection of the brand, said that the brainstorming was now on for the first Flying Machine ad.
'I'm, of course, in the loop. I'm taken into confidence as to who would shoot the ad and other details. It's so gratifying to work with these young ad makers, many of whom finally come into making movies... Pradeep Sarkar, with whom I've done ads and now a film called 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag', and Balkrishnan being the latest examples of ad makers-turned-feature film makers. These guys are really talented.'
So does the brand intend to make Abhishek the global face of Flying Machine?
'They do. And I feel good about it. Because I'm furthering the cause of a product I truly believe in,' he said, adding that he won't endorse products he doesn't believe in.

Year of the Fish
Year of the Fish is the kind of really bad movie it takes a lot of misplaced conviction to make. A modern-day fairy tale unwisely told from the perspective of an omniscient, magical fish, David Kaplan's first feature follows Ye Xian (An Nguyen), fresh off the boat and conscripted into an illicit Chinatown massage parlor to earn for her ill father back on the mainland. Xian's life is swiftly ruined by harridan mistress Mrs. Su (Tsai Chin), who lectures her on getting rid of all that "Chinese dignity" and replacing it with some "American greed." Refusing to give handjobs, Xian suffers through outrageous shrieking on Su's part, sexual harassment from her brother, and general shit from all the other girls. Fortunately, mythical witch/fortune teller/sweatshop owner Auntie Yaga (Randall Duk Kim) comes to the Cinderella rescue. The dialogue is routinely shrill (when Xian says her mother taught her how to cook, one of the girls spits back: "She should've taught you how to suck cock instead"), and the storytelling heavy-handedly mythic (underscored by uneven, mostly pointless rotoscoping). But what's really troubling is how everyone who's not traditional Chinese here is evil—from the Latino gangbangers who almost rape Xian on the street to the never-seen evil American girlfriend of Xian's love interest whose only passion is Marc Jacobs.

Chinese group appeals to Japan's emperor over artefact
Published on Aug 12, 2014 1:11 PM
BEIJIN (AFP) - A Chinese organisation has appealed to Japan's Emperor Akihito to return a 1,300 year-old stele taken from China over a century ago, state media reported.
The Honglujing Stele was "looted by Japanese soldiers early last century from northeastern China", the official Xinhua news agency said, and now sits in "virtual seclusion" in Japan's Imperial Palace.
The stone monument, 1.8 metres tall and three metres wide, shows that the first king of the northeast Asian Bohai kingdom was given his title by a Chinese emperor from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the report said.
The China Federation of Demanding Compensation from Japan (CFDC) sent a letter to Akihito and the Japanese government on Sunday via Tokyo's embassy in Beijing, Xinhua reported on Monday.

I'm dating with the big picture in mind...doesn't have to be tomorrow, but tired of women that don't know what they're looking for! (and literally SAY that on their profile). I'm a total provider, fiscally responsible, clean shaven, no ink, military vet, in great shape, college educated...annnnd hoping this isn't coming across as too me-me-me. haaa!! That being said.....Looking for a cool, smart, sexy, funny (if only in HER mind :) girl. I've got it all together...please be the same. Would be great if you enjoy traveling (if you can) and have a career you enjoy. Feel free to fire off anything beyond this you'd like to know! Also, if you're the kind of girl that thinks it''s ok to respond to a voicemail by texting (assuming we get to that point), keep on moving! ;-)

Such a rookie to Denver! Live on the Riverfront, so been to a couple places in LoDo, LoHi, etc. Super fun everywhere!
The smell of fresh cut grass, whisps of chimney smoke on the first snowfall, fresh baked bread, cool salty sea-breeze in the morning. The first crunch into a creme brulee, day-drinkin' on holiday!, reading the paper (ipad style) on a Sunday morning.
Hmmm, industry trade journals, Time, Esquire, Men's Best Life, SmartMoney and generally USA Today when I'm on the road. (oh, and Cooking Light sometimes...don't laugh!)

Create continuous "chunked" grids/volumes with ndarrays
An experiment with creating continuous grids/volumes from "chunked" ndarrays. Ideally, this could make it easy to work with infinite terrain, or simply splitting a large area into smaller chunks to conserve memory - while still taking advantage of the modules designed to work with ndarrays.
The interface supports both asynchronous and synchronous getters, in case you want to back the chunks with a local storage mechanism such as level.js.
field = require('ndarray-continuous')(options)
Takes an options object, with the following properties:
shape: the shape (dimensions) of each chunk.
getter: a function that is called when a new is required.
getter function takes two arguments,
position and
done. The former
is the chunk's position (in chunks, not units), and the latter is a Node-style
callback for returning the new array. If you want to retrieve chunks
synchronously you can return the array as well. All chunks must be the same
shape as specified in the
shape option.
field.chunk(position, done)
Retrieves a single chunk, by its position in chunkspace.
field.group(hi, lo, done)
Retrieves a proxy array
combining the chunks between
hi and
lo inclusive.
The local chunk cache - an object containing each chunk, indexed by their positions.
field.remove(position[, done])
Clears a chunk from the local object cache - you should be doing this when you're no longer using a chunk to conserve memory.
var field = require'ndarray-continuous' shape: 50 50 50 return donenull zeros50 50 var array = fieldgroup-5 -5 -5 5 5 5require'cave-automata-2d'array10 // things happen... setTimeout Objectkeysfieldindex filter return true forEach var chunk = fieldindexkey fieldremovechunkposition 1000

At this time of the year in the West, make-up usually turns more sophisticated and polished in preparation for the winter months. Though the polish is still there, the 2012 fall runway shows showed models made up in fun and bright colors or dramatic, head-turning hues.
Neon eyeliner and multicolored lipstick. Christian Dior suggests a more futuristic interpretation of classic winged eyeliner. Instead of just plain black, play around with bright tones such as neon green, electric purple and blue to create your classic cat eye look. Also, instead of just plain red lipstick, go multi-hued with oranges or purples to complete the look.
Orange lids. Never thought orange lids could be hot? Think again. Dries Van Noten paired a variety of prints with an opaque shade of mandarin. To make this look work, keep the rest of your face low-key, and make sure your hair stays in the background too. Your lids are the focus here. Still not convinced? Armani Prive sported orange lids on the runway too.
Cherry red and eggplant purple. Rochas had a more traditional fall palette with mustard yellows, aubergines and indigos for the lids paired with a super dark cherry red lip color. This palette would look great with dark haired girls who want to spice up their look.

There is absolutely no doubt that wine is the one thing that we can all enjoy. Of course if you have reached the needed age to be drinking wine.
What is more, it is important for us to choose high quality wine in order to enjoy it! I can say that from my own experience and I am more that sure that you will agree with me.

At -49, the index is below -50 for the first time in five weeks, but has been remarkably consistent of late: It's hovered between -48 and -54 for 19 weeks straight since mid-October, the longest such slump on record. It's been below -40 for 43 consecutive weeks, another record.
The CCI is far below its record high, +38 in January 2000, while just 5 points off its worst reached three weeks ago.
GROUPS – The CCI is higher as usual among better-off groups, but it is still negative for most Americans. The index had been negative across the board for the 33 straight weeks – matching the previous record in 18 years of data, set twice during 1991-92. This week, however, the highest income bracket is positive at +5, the first time it's been positive since June, vs. -80 among those with the lowest incomes.
It's -40 among those who've attended college (their best since Nov. 9) vs. -63 among high school dropouts, -45 among men while -51 among women (their best since Oct. 5), -43 among homeowners vs. -65 among renters and -46 among whites vs. -58 among blacks.
Partisan differences remain: The index is -28 among Republicans (their best since Nov. 16) vs. -59 among Democrats and -51 among independents.
Here's a closer look at the three components of the ABC News CCI:
NATIONAL ECONOMY – Five percent of Americans rate the economy as excellent or good; it was 4 percent last week, the record low. The highest was 80 percent Jan. 16, 2000.
PERSONAL FINANCES – Forty-seven percent say their own finances are excellent or good; it was 44 percent last week. The best was 70 percent, last reached in January 2000. The worst was 41 percent Jan. 25.
BUYING CLIMATE – Twenty-four percent say it's an excellent or good time to buy things; it was 22 percent last week. The best was 57 percent on Jan. 16, 2000. The worst was 18 percent Oct. 19, Aug. 10 and Aug. 24, 2008.
METHODOLOGY – Interviews for the ABC News Consumer Comfort Index are reported in a four-week rolling average. This week's results are based on telephone interviews among a random national sample of 1,000 adults in the four weeks ending Feb. 15, 2009. The results have a 3-point error margin. The expectations question was asked of 500 respondents Feb. 4-15, 2009; that result has a 4.5-point error margin. Field work by ICR-International Communications Research of Media, Pa.
The index is derived by subtracting the negative response to each index question from the positive response to that question. The three resulting numbers are added and divided by three. The index can range from +100 (everyone positive on all three measures) to -100 (all negative on all three measures). The survey began in December 1985.

An island getaway can have water sports, delectable seafood, amazing drinks, lots of sunshine, sand and the beautiful scent of saltwater in the air.
But not all island getaways are created the same. The San Juan Islands in Washington State has plenty of the above, but you're not taking a ferry to Friday Harbor to soak in the sun. To be clear, the islands do get sunshine – 247 days with it annually – and roughly half the rainfall of nearby Seattle. But relaxing in the sun probably isn't the No. 1 item on a to-do list for a visitor to the San Juan Islands.

You're trying to raise money. You know who could provide funding. You set personal appointments, talk with people in person. You know you have a good project that will make an impact. Yet all you hear is "no." When do you give up? Russell Joel Brown heard "no" 75 times before he got to "yes."

In a microfactory set up on the auto show floor, Local Motors built the latest version of its Strati, a lightweight, two-seat electric car. It took about 40 hours using the latest 3-D printing technology, all while thousands of auto show visitors watched.
She does not want to tell this first story, the one that could have meant there would be no more stories. There is fear in sharing the story about how two airplanes nearly collided because she never wants to say anything that might dissuade people from flying.
WASHINGTON (AP) – In recent months, the stage seemed set for American consumers to do what they've traditionally done best: Spend money – and drive the economy.
The lowest gas prices in five years had given people more spending money. Employers added over 1 million jobs from November through January, the best three-month pace in 17 years. Businesses even raised pay in December. Economists had forecast that last week's retail sales report for January would show a healthy rise.
Note: I wrote this piece 15 years ago and just rediscovered it. Sadly, the points bear repeating, and reprinting in the era of social media, client portals, and HTML5, as it seems truer than ever.

Homegrown Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett espouses the values of many East Tennessee residents: strong family connections, honoring military service and remembering where he comes from.
Romance means something different for everyone, but most people can agree that if there is low lighting, soft music, a charming companion and something delicious to eat, you've already got the makings of one outstanding evening.
Close isn't enough when it comes to winning elections. But it works when it comes to financing the campaigns leading to the elections.
And Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. and his most vocal challenger so far, City Council member Jim Strickland, posted campaign dollar amounts this week that suggest a lively campaign later in this election year.
We were recently caught off guard when Dr. Todd Robinson, a reader of FUNdraising Good Times, shared with us that he raises over $75,000 using information from this column.
First-year Memphis Open tennis director Erin Mazurek no doubt could tell you more than you ever wanted to know about the Detroit Red Wings.
Mazurek spent five years working for the National Hockey League team as director of private events. So, she's got a history there. She knows the value of winning and what the Stanley Cup means (last won by the Red Wings in 2008).
A FedEx commercial that never made it past the storyboard stage portrayed company founder, chairman and CEO Fred Smith as a child filling out an order form in the back of a comic book for a batch of Sea-Monkeys, sending it off and waiting for the delivery.
Last year when Shelby County Schools leaders began planning to change attendance zones to reconfigure student assignments to take into account the demerger of public education in Shelby County, the plan for a new Woodstock High School drew cheers from parents in the northwest Shelby County area.
With federal money about to run out for the Shelby County Schools Innovation Zone schools, the $8 million in cash due from the city of Memphis next month is most likely to land in the bank account for that effort.
Most innovations fail because they are too good, too smart and too unfamiliar to the existing business to risk launching.
The last phase of a full-cycle innovation process, storytelling, was rushed. A power point deck was created using the language of the business culture, unconsciously framing the new concept in the old world of the doldrums of existing operations. The new ideas get applause for their "brave, fresh thinking," then are summarily placed on the back burner to be ignored for eternity.
KNOXVILLE – Jack Jones didn't want to waste any time getting started with his football career at the University of Tennessee, so he graduated in December from Murfreesboro Oakland High School.
Majority and minority are volatile terms in Memphis.

In the beginning of the redevelopment of Beale Street, city leaders of the late 1970s put in place the Beale Street Development Corp. in a role they saw as a cultural guardian of the district between Fourth and Second streets.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – A healthier U.S. housing market and economy helped to winnow foreclosures in 2014 to levels not seen since before the housing bust.
The decline is the latest evidence of how foreclosures have diminished in recent years from a national crisis to a largely market-specific concern.
The Beale Street Development Corp. would no longer be the landlord of the Beale Street Entertainment District under terms of a tentative agreement with the city of Memphis.
But the nonprofit corporation that has been part of the three-headed arrangement for running and controlling Beale Street since the late 1970s would get up to $120,000 a year out of the net income the city makes from the street.

"What are the metrics?" We get this question all the time from nervous directors and VPs who are struggling with the philosophical underpinnings of front-end innovation. They are eager to launch an innovation program, but want to be able to foresee the outcome before embarking on the journey of discovery.
The most complicated move in ballroom dancing is often the step that gets you through the dance studio's front door.
Television shows like, "Dancing with the Stars'' and "So You Think You Can Dance'' are wildly popular and have contributed to a renewed interest in the glamourous art (skill? sport?) of ballroom dancing, but those high-energy, competitive programs or a movie like "Dirty Dancing'' can also intimidate people and keep them glued to the couch.
2005: Three development partners were to close on the purchase of the Tennessee Brewery by the end of the month and announced plans to convert the historic building into 35 luxury condominiums and penthouse units with prices starting at $350,000.
When I visited Dublin, Ireland, in 2013, I was surprised at what I found. It was a European city that in some ways reminded me of home. People were incredibly friendly. The culture was built around music, food and socializing. The city's core is a similar size to Downtown Memphis, and it's built around a river.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. consumers increased their borrowing in November, as stronger demand for auto and student loans offset a drop in credit card debt.
The Federal Reserve said Thursday that consumer borrowing rose by $14.1 billion following a $16 billion increase in October. The gains have pushed consumer debt excluding real estate loans to a record level of $3.3 trillion.

That was the next step several Memphis City Council members pointed to after more than an hour behind closed doors at City Hall Tuesday with their attorney as well as city Chief Administrative Officer George Little.
LAS VEGAS (AP) – Imagine a world in which your garage door opens automatically as you pull into the driveway. The living room lights and heater turn on – perhaps the oven starts warming up, too. In the so-called "smart home," cars, appliances and other devices all have sensors and Internet connectivity to think and act for themselves, and make your life easier.
Even in the best of times, the relationship between any Memphis mayor and any group of 13 on the Memphis City Council is adversarial. That has been the intent of the structure of city government since the mayor-council form of government took effect in 1968.
With gas prices dropping and the economy continuing to improve, Knoxvillians have much to celebrate as 2014 comes to a close. A number of venues and restaurants have festive plans for New Year's Eve.
Christmas wrapping packed away? Check. 2014 all but in the books? Check. Resolutions for 2015 made? Maybe. Check. Making plans for New Year's Eve? Check. Check.
New Year's Eve revelers have choices of how they want to ring in 2015 while celebrating a successful – or at least completed – 2014. There's no time yet for making resolutions when two of the year's biggest parties are about to blast Knoxville with noisemakers and fireworks.
To know where we're headed, as the adage goes, we must first understand where we've been. And in Nashville, where we've been is eating at restaurants. Many, apparently.
A slew of new restaurants opened their doors in 2014, including showpieces like Prima in The Gulch and a few celebrity chef spots that made a stir, such as Adele's from Jonathan Waxman, Sinema with Top Chef star Dale Levitski and Chauhan Ale and Masala House from Maneet Chauhan of Food Network.
Cynics and service industry folks might call it "amateur night." And one can hardly blame them as New Year's Eve can turn even the most unassuming guest into a rowdy reveler for a night.
KNOXVILLE – Christmas break has come and gone for the University of Tennessee's football team. Now it's back to business.
The Vols return to campus for practice Saturday and, after a Sunday practice, fly to Jacksonville for the Jan. 2 game against Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl, formerly the Gator Bowl.

Evaporcool's management determined that the company was at the right stage for a strategic partner, and after a national search, Evaporcool decided to work locally with Kemmons Wilson Cos.
December was always sort of depressing. How could it not be? If you're a college football player and you'd just finished another disappointing season, losing many more games than you had won, how were you supposed to be excited by the bowl season?

J.T. Gray – who pioneered smokeless nightclubs before it became fashionable (and/or mandated) – is glad to see sparkling condo towers, office buildings, restaurants and the like sprouting around him. After all, these newcomers eventually might find themselves inside his time-out-of-mind blockhouse where Bill Monroe used to just drop by and pick.

The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday, Nov. 6, that bans on gay marriage in Tennessee as well as Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio are constitutional.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The quest for an Ebola treatment is picking up speed. Federal officials have unveiled a plan to test multiple drugs at once, in an umbrella study with a single comparison group to give fast answers on what works.
Memphis might not qualify as a cyclocross racing hotbed. That description better fits Seattle, San Francisco, Denver and Boston.
But Memphis has something they don't: the longest continuous running cyclocross event.
Executive director of Cleveland Clinic Innovations, Gary Fingerhut, discusses the emerging era of medical innovation and commercialized new inventions and platforms.
Fingerhut opens by echoing a recurring theme; innovation begins with empathy. A deep understanding of the humanity, the personal narratives, fears and inspirations of patients empowers better care and inspires hospital systems to treat people differently than in the past.
Amending Tennessee's Constitution isn't as rare as it was in the state's first 200 years, and yet it remains a tough, drawn-out task, even if the most popular process, the legislative method, is used.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve cited an improving economy Wednesday as it ended its landmark bond-buying program and pointed to gains in the job market – a key condition for an eventual interest rate hike.
If you tuned into The Late Show with David Letterman Monday, Oct. 28, you saw Jerry Lee Lewis in a very unusual setting – not at the center of attention.
Alekasandro Grabulou, director of innovation and development of Philips, talks about key tools for redefining the role of innovation in a fast-paced era.
Philips is a leader in health care, consumer lifestyle and lighting. And, they fused their front end and back end innovation efforts with great results and a compelling story.
With a box of old ticket stubs, some photographs he took at the concerts he went to and newspaper ads for concerts he came across on microfilm searches for other things, Ron Hall set out to document as many of the major rock and roll and rock concerts in Memphis he could over a fertile 30-year period.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Democratic Senate candidate Gordon Ball on Wednesday kicked off a bus tour around Tennessee that he hopes will draw attention to incumbent Republican Lamar Alexander's refusal to engage in a series of statewide debates.
The popular image of a library may be one of a dowdy old institution that loans out books and demands hushed voices from its patrons. But because of where the library system in Memphis is headed, though, that notion is – no pun intended – overdue for a rethink.
What would the NFL be today if Pete Rozelle had never been the league's commissioner? We might still just be watching pro football on Sunday afternoons.
Rozelle's name belongs in the same conversation with retiring Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive. Because what Rozelle did for the pro game – pushing the idea of Monday football for but one example – Slive has done for the SEC and college football overall.

UCSF scientists report that they were able to prompt a new period of "plasticity," or capacity for change, in the neural circuitry of the visual cortex of juvenile mice. The approach, they say, might some day be used to create new periods of plasticity in the human brain that would allow for the repair of neural circuits following injury or disease.
The strategy which involved transplanting a specific type of immature neuron from embryonic mice into the visual cortex of young mice could be used to treat neural circuits disrupted in abnormal fetal or postnatal development, stroke, traumatic brain injury, psychiatric illness and aging.
Like all regions of the brain, the visual cortex undergoes a highly plastic period during early life. Cells respond strongly to visual signals, which they relay in a rapid, directed way from one appropriate cell to the next in a process known as synaptic transmission. The chemical connections created in this process produce neural circuitry that is crucial for the function of the visual system. In mice, this critical period of plasticity occurs around the end of the fourth week of life.
The catalyst for the so-called critical period plasticity in the visual cortex is the development of synaptic signaling by neurons that release the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. These neurons receive excitatory signals from other neurons, thus helping to maintain the balance of excitation and inhibition in the visual system.
In their study, published in the journal Science, (Vol. 327. no. 5969, 2010), the scientists wanted to see if the embryonic neurons, once they had matured into GABA-producing inhibitory neurons, could induce plasticity in mice after the normal critical period had closed.
The team first dissected the immature neurons from their origin in the embryonic medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) of the embryonic mice. Then they transplanted the MGE cells into the animals' visual

Broncos defensive back Perrish Cox talked briefly Monday about his arrest last week.
"I really can't speak on what was going on," Cox said after the team's conditioning workout. "It happened, and hopefully it will be over soon."
Cox was arrested and jailed overnight last week on a sexual assault charge stemming from a complaint filed Oct. 28 with Lone Tree police.
Details of the case have been sealed by a Douglas County judge to protect the victim.
Broncos interim head coach Eric Studesville talked privately Saturday with Cox, then had the rookie cornerback meet with the team captains before deciding to play him Sunday against the Cardinals.
"I can't say much about it, but I do appreciate all my teammates and my coaches and everybody who was behind me while all this was going on," Cox said. "I want to help them the best way I can and not focus on that, just focus on the task at hand. They've been there, every day."
Some jobs are easier than others.
To complete his first full week on the job, Studesville was asked 13 questions on the subject of Tim Tebow's playing time.
The baker's dozen on the rookie quarterback followed a 43-13 whipping the Broncos took from Arizona on Sunday in his head coaching debut.
The Tebow grill session prompted another inquiry: Still excited about the new job?
"I absolutely am," Studesville said. "This is a tremendous learning experience for me. Learning experiences don't always have to be good ones. There are a lot of things I took out of yesterday and last week's preparation that I hope I will be better at this week in helping this team get ready."
Don't count out Fassel.
The last time the Broncos held a head coaching search, they went against a trend. The Broncos gave Josh McDaniels his first head coaching job in January 2009, even though nine of the previous 11 Super Bowl champions were led by head coaches in their second stints.
The nine "retreads" with their Super Bowl-championship seasons — Mike Shana- han (1997-98), Dick Vermeil (1999), Bill Belichick (2001, 2003-04), Jon Gruden (2002) Tony Dungy (2006) and Tom Coughlin (2007).
Since then, the last two Super Bowl winners were first- time head coaches — Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin (2008) and New Orleans' Sean Payton (2009).
Despite this recent run, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen may be gun-shy about hiring a first-time head coach again. If so, Jim Fassel may get a look. He led the New York Giants to Super Bowl XXXV and, perhaps just as important, was the Broncos' offensive coordinator in 1993 when John Elway had his only 4,000-yard passing season.
Injury update.
Rookie backup safety Kyle McCarthy suffered a serious knee injury Sunday at Arizona and was placed on injured reserve.
Another backup safety, Darcel McBath, will likely be ready to play Sunday at Oakland after missing the past three games with a thigh injury.
Starting safety Brian Dawkins (knee), kicker Matt Prater (groin) and backup safety David Bruton (ribs) are questionable to practice Wednesday.
Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams waived an advisement hearing Monday on a charge of driving under the influence. A hearing is set for Jan. 18 for Williams to enter a plea. . . . The team re-signed offensive lineman Stanley Daniels, who started the first four games at left guard. . . . Denver signed wide receiver Britt Davis from its practice squad.

Are those two the best in this price range? Is there a darkhorse that I need to look into. I heard NEC has a fabulous new 30 inch monitor, but I am unsure of price although I heard it is around 2000 plus. Give a guy some insight :D. Thanks for the listen. Peace.

I thought this book was
well written and a great conclusion to the City of Ember
series. I thought it was neat how the author wrote the
third book, The Prophet of Yonwood, about what had
happened in the past, kind of like a flashback to the
world before Ember, and then she started again in the
present, in the Town of Sparks, for the fourth book, The
Diamond of Darkhold. The author, Jeanne DuPrau, did a
wonderful job of using descriptive words that painted a
very vivid and lively picture in my head as I was reading.
Even though I liked this book, it was kind of dull and
dismal for me now that I've gotten older. Therefore, I
mainly recommend the City of Ember series to tweens around
the ages of 9-12, since I used to absolutely love this
series when I was younger.

To The West: Amsterdam, April
Longtime RS Independent travelers, now slowed by age and bad knee, tried a combination. 9 days River Cruise, 7 days based in Amsterdam. Worked well for us, despite frigid temperatures. Rho Hotel (found on RS Website)few steps from Dam Square. Good hot & cold b'fast buffet, rooms quiet, location fabulous, where N-S & E-W Trams cross. Bought 4 day transportation pass for 21 Euro each, hopped on and off trams, metro & buses. Bought Museumkaart (49 euros @$1.30). Saved a lot of money, entered all but Anne Frank without line. Especially recommend Dutch Resistance (couple with Anne frank), Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam History, Franz Hals in Haarlem, Steamtrain, Boat and Zuiderzee Open Air. A dozen others, all good. Best restaurant experiences: Rick's Cafe De Reiger across canal and up a block from Anne Frank: Food fabulous,prices moderate, friendly reception. A local told us about van Speyk-Duck Breast & Rack of lamb to die for, 50 Euros with dessert& & wine. Skeptical about cruise but loved it and will try this combination in another country. Schipol is now our favorite airport. George, Pittsburgh

What if you had to choose between making insurance more affordable for Americans with pre-existing conditions or funding lobbyists and political hacks? That's the decision the House will face when it considers H.R. 1549, the Helping Sick Americans Now Act, sponsored by Rep. Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania. It should be an easy choice.
Earlier this month, Susan Zurface of Hillsboro, Ohio testified before Rep. Pitts's health subcommittee.
"With my newly diagnosed illness, I was unable to find any health insurance coverage that would cost less than $350/month with a $10,000 deductible," the chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient said. The federal Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) was supposed to be there for people like her, but the administration closed it to new enrollees on March 2, citing a lack of funding.
The news stunned a woman identified by the Washington Post as Joyce, a 61-year-old Virginian with stage-four breast cancer, who saw the announcement and rushed to get her application in before the cut-off. I don't know whether Joyce was able to make the deadline or not, but I do know there are an estimated 40,000 other sick Americans, including Ms. Zurface, who will not be able to enroll if the program remains closed.
There is a simple solution. Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has transfer authority under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to move money from the so-called Prevention and Public Health Fund (Prevention Fund) to the PCIP. If she chooses, she could use those funds to reopen PCIP enrollment and ensure that sick Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to the program. On March 5, House Republican leaders wrote a letter to President Obama urging him to reprogram those funds. Neither Obama nor Sebelius has responded or taken any action.
Perhaps that's because there are political incentives to keep the money where it is in the Prevention Fund, which is mostly in the business of doling out grants to activists, lobbyists, and P.R. pros to agitate for "public health" priorities like tobacco restrictions and anti-obesity campaigns including soda taxes, fast food restaurant bans, and changes to zoning codes to block convenience stores.
These Centers for Disease Control (CDC) grants, originally funded by the stimulus bill and continued via the Prevention Fund under PPACA, have been proven to include at least seven instances of directly funding lobbyists - a violation of federal law.

Important Near-Mint 1797 13 Stars Half Dime1797 H10C 13 Stars AU58 NGC. V-1, LM-4, R.6. After Tennessee was admitted as the 16th state in 1796, an additional star to represent the new state was added to the coinage designs for the various denominations. The small canvas of the half dime became crowded with peripheral stars. Soon, it was realized that adding another star for each state was impractical, and the star count was reduced to 13 stars, which represented the 13 colonies that declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. The four half dime die varieties of 1797 have three different star counts: 15, 16, and 13 stars. The latter subtype is represented by a single rare die pairing, LM-4, which receives its own Guide Book listing. The rarity of the 13 stars subtype is best demonstrated by its NGC census. The service has certified only four pieces across all grades, and the present piece is tied with one other for finest certified by NGC. PCGS has encapsulated a single example as AU58, and just one piece finer, as MS63. Thus, the present coin is tied with two other examples for the honor of second finest certified, assuming that the three AU58 examples do not reflect any resubmissions (this is not the NGC AU58 Price specimen auctioned by ANR in 2004). Prior to the current lot, the highest graded 13 stars 1797 half dime to appear in a Heritage auction was a PCGS XF40 example in 2003. It is possible that no other sharp examples of the 13 stars variety will emerge for years, once the present lot has been sold. The importance of the present lot needs no further elaboration. It possesses bright silver-gray centers, framed by light golden-brown and deeper aquamarine and magenta toning. The strike is attentive, adjustment marks are absent, and no abrasions are detected that can provide a definitive pedigree.(Registry values: P6) (NGC ID# 22ZZ, PCGS# 4260)

Quadro FX 570M, suspend not working with nvidia bin drivers

Hi, I have T61P with Quadro FX 570M. After initial intalation everything was working. Also suspend. To get OpenGL running, I installed 100.14.11 drivers from NVidia.

Thanks for the hint.

Editorial: Huge theft or bad records?
Library housekeeping in order
If it turns out to be true, it will surely rank as one of the largest thefts ever in Ventura County. But, it doesn't seem plausible.
An audit by the National Archives inspector general has revealed the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is unable to properly account for more than 80,000 valuable presidential gifts and mementos — out of about 100,000 such items — stored at the library near Simi Valley.
The Reagan library, which opened to great fanfare in November 1991, quickly became one of the more visited presidential libraries. Its popularity surged further after it opened the Air Force One Pavilion in 2005, The pavilion features the plane that Mr. Reagan used throughout his eight years in the presidency.
Beneath the library is a cavernous warehouse that houses, when not on display, the many artifacts and gifts acquired during the Reagan presidency.
It was here that the possible theft problem was uncovered. Several months ago, a former employee was alleged to have stolen some of the gifts. Many of the items were given to President Reagan by kings, queens, world leaders and other dignitaries. It was during that investigation that the sloppy record-keeping surfaced.
So far, among some of the items unaccounted for are ornate western belt buckles, a hand-crocheted American flag, an elephant figurine and a vase, which was described as a "high-value" item.
The audit found that a lack of supervision and security breakdowns left the items, mostly stored in the library's basement storage area, vulnerable to theft "the scope of which will likely never be known." Additionally, it was critical of the way some artworks, sculptures and vases were being stored at the library.
Several steps are now under way to address the problems. Among them, a complete inventory of the many gifts and mementos. It is hoped the inventory will reveal the library's real problem was simply improper record-keeping as library officials are now claiming, not theft on such a large scale.
How else would you explain not noticing more than 80,000 expensive gifts have gone missing from your basement?

Restaurant Week dishes out culinary indulgence, educational fun about SWFL food
Tourism and agriculture are the top two industries in Florida. To blend the best of both worlds, the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau has created Restaurant Week.
The 10-day sensory extravaganza will feature special three-course prix fixe menus highlighting local products at scores of restaurants from Sanibel to Bonita Springs and Bokeelia to Fort Myers. Additionally, a limited number of seats are available for planned "Culinary Experiences" that include tours, seminars, cooking classes and goodies dished up by local chefs.
Bonita Springs Mayor Ben Nelson was on hand for a recent media preview of the festivities, which included a tour of Rabbit Run Farm, a producer of hydroponics vegetables and strawberries in the rural Buckingham area of Fort Myers. He and his wife, Lori, own the Survey Café, so he is no stranger to the food business. But to him, it's about more than tasty fare.
What: Special prix fixe meals and "Culinary Experiences" that include tours and cooking classes, and more
When: Oct. 5-14
Where: Various restaurants throughout Lee County, see website for full details
Cost: Free-$105, Culinary Experiences (tickets available online); $15-$90 prix fixe meals
"When it comes to economic development, this really is the engine that drives our community," he said.
Nelson said he planned to issue a proclamation to officially mark the first Restaurant Week, and he urged all the other Lee County mayors to do the same. One of the Culinary Experiences is a tour of downtown Bonita Springs with Nelson acting as guide, followed by lunch at the Survey Café at its Old Florida-style setting in the historic district.
At press time, that establishment was one of 29 participating restaurants. However, Tamara Pigott, executive director of the Lee County Visitors & Convention Bureau, expected the number to climb as high as 40 by the official start on Friday, Oct. 5.
Several years ago, the VCB undertook a re-branding initiative to encompass all of Lee County as "The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel." While its job ostensibly is tourism development, another focus is sustainability, a major theme for Restaurant Week.
"The natural assets that brought each one of us here as residents is what brings people here as visitors," Pigott said.
To that end, guest chef Barton Seaver is slated to appear at no fewer than four of the 10 Culinary Experience events. The Washington D.C. chef, speaker and National Geographic fellow is also author of "For Cod and Country." Besides its pun-infused title, the book contains a collection of recipes for seafood that is sustainably harvested and emphasizes seasonality and ecological consciousness.
Appearances for Seaver include a book signing at Sanibel Bookstore, a talk titled "Speaking of Sustainable Food" at Edison State College and a dockside chat at Parrot Key Caribbean Grill near Fort Myers Beach.
He is even the featured guest for Restaurant Week's finale at Sweet Melissa's Café on Sanibel Island. Each of four courses will be paired with a different wine while guests converse with him about ocean-friendly practices and observe chef Melissa Talmage and crew prepare the meal.
Other learning opportunities include a Rabbit Run Farm tour and culinary class, where visitors can discover heirloom plants such as Dixie speckled butter peas, chidori kale and Okinawan purple sweet potatoes. Owner Denise Muir will explain the mechanics of her hydroponic systems and discuss the unique challenges and benefits of farming in Southwest Florida. Local chef Kristina San Filippo will provide a cooking demonstration using the freshly harvested produce.
At Bonita Springs-based A Table Apart, chef Jeff Acol will discuss sustainable seafood choices and the reasons the menu reflects those choices. The Hawaii native, along with his wife, Jessica, will also present a multicourse dinner complemented with a wine pairing.
The Sandy Butler in Fort Myers Beach is offering something like a culinary scavenger hunt. Guests will shop for ingredients at the gourmet market, then take them next door to the Shoals Restaurant & Wine Bar. There, chef Michael Ragusa will work with guests to make a delicious lunch.
The remaining Culinary Experience happenings include an event by Tarpon Bay Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort, which will offer a four-course meal featuring sustainably harvested seafood and local produce, and a bottle of wine.
Also, to indulge all the senses, join Paul Cullen and chef Brian McCarley at the Twisted Vine in the River District of Fort Myers. The former Bad Company bassist is now a wine purveyor, and Cullen will be pouring out some funky jazz along with a wine dinner, "Unplugged and Uncorked."
