The Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to send a fourth-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for forward Simon Gagne. That's right. The same Gagne that was drafted by the Flyers with the twenty-second-overall pick in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft will be returning to play in Philadelphia. In his thirteen-year-NHL career, Gagne had recorded 586 points (283 goal; 303 assists) while playing 772 games. He was a member of the 2011-2012 Stanley Cup Champions, where he recorded 17 points in 34 game. This season Gagne has recorded five points in 11 games and have been logging a career-worst 13:46 minutes of ice time.

Team News: Strong Opening to 2012 for Racing Edge Motorsports
STOUFFVILLE, ONT (May 2, 2012) - Racing Edge Motorsports started out the season right where they ended last seasons, with podiums during the opening TRAK race at Goodwood last weekend. REM had five drivers racing the event, in the Senior Rotax class, Kieran Oxley and Brayden Seberras fought for a solid finish; in the Junior Rotax division, Miles Tyson was a strong contender all weekend, and in the Four Cycle Junior class, Chaston Cullum and Tyson we a strong duo.
In the Rotax Senior division, which saw a class with well over 10 entries, it was one of the more intense races of the day. Many top drivers made an appearance for this race, which created a race that was filled with competition and extreme skill. Oxley qualified quite well in the sixth position. During the prefinals start Oxley had some contact which forced him to lose a few places, but he rebounded quickly by picking off karts lap-by-lap. At the conclusion of the prefinal, Oxley ended up crossing the line in fifth place, one spot better than qualifying. During the final, he obtained a better start and found himself in fourth place, but during the first lap the field was jostling about which again forced him to lose a few spots, but again he rebounded and ended up fourth overall. This was a superb race for Oxley to overcome all of his adversity.
Seberras was the next entry in Senior Rotax, and he fought hard all day but did not receive the position he was hoping for. During qualifying, Seberras was unable to find clear space on the busy Goodwood circuit which slowed his lap times down making it impossible to qualify well. Then when the prefinal aroused, Seberras began to make up some ground, but contact was made which forced him to lose all the positions that he had gained. Next up was the final, where Seberras again started to move forward and gain some positions, but again contact near the end of the race caused him to lose positions and make him fall towards the rear of the field. Since the contact was late in the race, he did not have the time to regain those positions. Although it was a rough day, Seberras did a solid job and hopes to improve during the next race event.
Junior Rotax was also a category that was stacked with competition. REMs Tyson had a rough day, but again did the best he could to bounce back from the misfortune that haunted him all day. As qualifying commenced, Tyson sat on the pole during the early stages, but the rest of the field quickly closed on his lap time. Unfortunately, they were able to surpass the lap he set, as he fell back to sixth position, but then a late quick lap by Seberras slotted him into the fourth position. At the start of the prefinal Tyson was unable to attain his position so he started back one row in sixth. As the field entered turn one, he got held up, but contact in front of him which caused him to fall to the rear of the field. Tyson began his trek to the front, by the end of the prefinal, Tyson ended up in the fifth position. Similar problems in the final put a damper on the chance for Tyson to make it to the podium where in turn one on the opening lap caused him to fall to the rear and work his way back up. At the end of the day, he was able to regain his fifth position and had a great run considering the circumstances. REM looks to see Tyson win many races during the 2012 season.
In Honda Junior, the competition was fierce and intense all day long between the top three drivers; two of which were REM pilots. Cullum, a new member to the REM team had a strong showing with his move to the Junior Four cycle category. During qualifying, Cullum put the kart on the inside of row two in third, but four tenths off so the team still had time to make up. Changes were made for the prefinal, and great strides were achieved, as Cullum was only two tenths off of the front runners and again finished third. Before the final a couple more changes were made and now Cullum was satisfied as he was able to run with the leaders and did not lose any time to them. He ended up third again, but was battling constantly throughout the race and ran in second for a majority of the event. Cullum had a fantastic race for his first race on the Birel chassis and his first race in Four Cycle Junior; REM believes that Cullum will be a serious contender throughout the season with a few wins to his name.
REMs other Honda Junior stand out; Tyson ran a solid race day during the opening round of the TRAK Championship. He ran well during qualifying as he put his Birel AM29 on the outside of the front row, starting second for the prefinal. Moving along to the prefinal event is where Tyson was able to showcase his true speed. He got out to the early lead off of the start and continued to pull away, winning by a large margin. During the Final event, Tyson took the lead right from the start, but this time the race was not as easy. He was under consistent pressure from the second and third place drivers, but then nearing the closing laps of the race Tyson got overtaken and was unable to regain the lead where he had to settle for second position. All in all it was a great race by Tyson and REM will be looking for him to take many victories in the Honda junior category this season.

Great M&P - with caveats for some cuisines, By Michael Compeau
March 21, 2008
I've had my marble mortar & pestle for going on ten years and love it. Naturally it gets a lot of use! One caution for those just embarking: if you love Indian and Asian cuisines as I do, Do Be Aware that marble M&P's (just like marble and granite countertops) ARE somewhat porous to very fine particles and therefore they WILL stain. Turmeric, in particular will provide a healthy yellow glow to your M&P long after you've used your curry blend. I don't like to wash my M&P in the dishwasher as the M&P will absorb the detergent and impart an odd flavor (or, on the occasion that I've felt compelled to do this, I rewash it without detergent with temperature on High immediately again). Forewarned is forearmed. Or four-armed, or something... Enjoy!
It's pretty, By Al Phabetical
October 26, 2009
I really wanted a little one I could put on the back of the oven, but this is nice, too. I like how heavy it is--it stays put while you, um, pestlize. I use it to crack peppercorns for soup and to grind dried herbes de Provence to powder for omelettes and such. It's 4 1/8 inches high and 4 inches across, with a bowl 3 inches across and 2 inches deep. The base is round, about 3 inches across. The pestle is 5 inches long.
Love it!, By Amanda N. Bonfitto
February 20, 2007
I'm not sure what happened with the person who bought this and had it break the second time they used it, but I love it. It is heavy and sturdy, easy to clean with soap and water, and it does a great job crushing herbs and spices. What more can you ask for?

Backup Exec 2012 DLM
I hope someone could help me out with a DLM query. Our environment consists 2 sites. We have 1 CASO server which is used for job admin only. It performs no backup or dedupe jobs. We create the jobs here and point the jobs at a managed server. Each site has 1 managed server. We are running Backup Exec 2012 SP3 on Windows 2008 R2. The catalog mode is in distributed mode.
I understand DLM will not delete a backup cycle even if the backup set has expired if it is the last recovery point. What I don't understand is how DLM treats multiple copies of backup sets.
So we backup to disk with a retention period of 5 days. We run a Full on a Friday and Inc's each day until the Full runs again on the Friday. So DLM will not groom anything on disk despite being expired until 2 cycles are completed. Fine.
However, after each backup we duplicate the backup to a local dedupe disk and retain for 2 weeks. We then run an optimized dedupe job to the remote site and retain for 4 weeks. So there are now 3 copies of the backup set.
So should DLM groom the backup sets in the backup to disk location after 5 days even if it is the last recovery point as the backup sets have been duplicated to a dedupe store with a longer retention period. Or, will it wait until cycle 2 completes then groom the backups on disk without considering the dedupe storage? DLM for the dedupe storage is then handled separately?
Or, as each backup set is kept for 4 weeks in the off site dedupe does DLM wait for this 4 week retention to expire before grooming all backup sets together? (On disk, local dedupe and remote dedupe)
I understand tape backup sets are not considered for DLM grooming, but there is an added complication that backups are also duplicated to tape for off site recovery.
Basically, DLM isn't grooming backup sets in the backup to disk storage and I'm trying to understand why. In most cases I can right Click and delete so there are not dependencies so I'm trying to fully understand the DLM process with multiple backup sets.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I've now adjusted the reg key as per the follwoing article to disable the keeping of the last backup cycle. DLM still isn't grooming any backup sets. I can manually delete them so there are no dependancies. Looking in the BE Audit Log there is no DLM activity since mid November.
We've had a huge amount of problems with BE 2012. Since SP 3 our backups have been much more stable. This DLM issue may be a hangover from all the problems we had throughout 2013.
To resolve this issue, the following registry value can be configured to disable the DLM rule mentioned above.
Note: Service Pack 1a (TECH186717) must be installed to proceed with the fix listed below. After installing SP1a, create the following registry key to turn on/off the "Keep the last and latest recovery chain" DLM rule.
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
1. Open Registry on the Backup Exec Media Server
2. Start->Run->Regedit
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Server
4. Create a new DWORD value named DeleteLastRecoverySetsOnceExpired
5. Modify the value to 1
Even with DLM disabled/switched off expired backup sets on disk still aren't groomed as they should be ie once they've expired. I'm finally seeing some activity of DLM deleting expired media sets but no way near enough. I'm now working through 4 8TB backup to disk drives manually deleting a whole heap of expired backups.
I've not even looked at our 30Tb Dedupe drives yet.
I was advised by an engineer to install Service Pack 4 - mistake!
SP4 seems to have broken everything SP3 fixed. I was just buliding up some confidence with BE 2012 but now it feels like we've gone back 12 months. What an absolute mess our backups are in again.
Restarting services on a daily basis, backups not running, dupe jobs to tape just stop running. I need to reboot the library to get the tapes out when BE decides to stop writing to tape.
Yet another call logged.

This lovely dining room, lavishly appointed with mahogany chairs, modern art, and a giant medieval hearth, serves a range of culinary delights that deliciously represent the New Lyon cooking. Chef Anthony Bonnet's poitrine de veau (breast of veal) with asparagus and essence of almonds, or his superb foie gras poèlé au coing (sautéed duck or goose liver with quince) are two specialties to look for, though the menu is in constant flux according to markets and seasons.

These Stocks Should Be Avoided in 2011
3 Hidden Takeover Targets to Double Your Money
It's hard to believe, but the holiday season is upon us and
there is only about a month and a half left in 2010. Because this
is the busiest time of the year for investors like you, I thought
I'd get out ahead of the New Year and I would give you 10 stocks
that I think you should dump for 2011.
Some of these stocks have had a good run and some never really
got anything going this year, but all are too risky if you're
looking to build a solid portfolio in 2011.
Let's get right to this list of stocks you should sell or avoid
as we close out 2010.
When I run an analysis of the fundamental strength of all stocks
on the market, the bottom of the list is overwhelmingly made up of
financial stocks.
BancorpSouth Inc.
) is the holding company for BancorpSouth Bank and it had a pretty
miserable 2010. After climbing back to $24 a share early in the
year, the stock quickly tumbled to its current price of under
Despite one positive quarter, the company has missed earnings
estimates by more than 20% over the last four quarters and I don't
see better things coming for the company in 2011.
Here are two bigger-named financial companies you should also
avoid in the year ahead:
E*Trade Financial Corp.
) and
Charles Schwab Corp.
). I haven't ranked either stock as a buy for 2010, and I don't see
it happening in 2011 either.
Both companies have managed to post some earnings surprises in
the last year, but haven't been able to translate these into
progress for the company or into profits for investors.
Avoid both in the year ahead.
Bank stocks aren't the only stocks that are heading for a rough
year ahead.
I actually rated
Office Depot Inc.
) as a buy for a short time in early 2010. The stock was on a roll
and earnings were strong coming out of 2009, but it wouldn't last
long for the office supply retailer.
My warning here is not to fall for ODP's fourth-quarter
earnings. While they may be strong, it appears that unless we have
a holiday shopping event every quarter, the numbers will continue
to sag.
Genoptix, Inc.
), the diagnostic testing facility, is next on my hit list. The
company receives bad marks for just about every metric in my
grading system. The healthcare sector, as a whole, had a rough
year, but Genoptix's problems run deeper than uncertainty about
health care reform.
In the spring, Genoptix seemed to be picking up steam after a
tepid beginning to the year, but the sharp gain in April was
short-lived. GXDX shares peaked at $38.79 and by June had plummeted
to just $15.61 per share. And shares stayed at these levels
throughout the remainder of the year. The company has posted
mediocre earnings surprises in recent quarters and analysts
continue to lower their estimates significantly.
I see little chance of Genoptix making any major rebound in the
New Year.
Next on our 2011 black list is the global power company
AES Corp.
). While utilities are typically seen as the unsung heroes of
steadily gaining stocks, AES is one of the exceptions to this
The stock has been steadily declining throughout 2010 and hasn't
been rated above a "C" in the last 12 months. Decreasing sales
estimates and a painful negative 23% earnings surprise in the third
quarter have the company's fourth quarter and 2011 forecast looking
Despite a slight gain in September and October, AES is already
shooting down in November, with little hope of recovery in the near
The semiconductor sector has been on a roller-coaster ride of
its own this year and
Advantest Corporation
) has had a front-row seat on that ride.
It seemed that 2010 would be a promising year for the
semiconductor equipment company. The stock opened strong and
reached up to just over $28 per share in January, but it was a
short-lived victory. Stock prices dipped in February, and despite a
small reprieve in the middle of April, the company's performance
steadily weakened.
Hovering at just over $19 per share, ATE has dropped 32% since
its high in January. If you are unfortunate enough to own this
company, get out now.
It's easy to sight and stay away from consistently
underperforming stocks, you may say. But, what about the companies
that have rallied in recent months? How should an apparently strong
comeback be interpreted?
As investors you surely recognize the sometimes fickleness of
the market. So, keep that in mind when considering stocks that
appear to be on the up-and-up. Remember, if the fundamental
strength isn't supporting the company, positive performance won't
last long. Consider these next picks on my dump list.
I'm certain you all remember the terrible Chilean mining
accident back in August that left 33 miners trapped underground for
over 2 months. In the nearly nine weeks before the rescue took
place, mining stocks hit a huge surge.
Gammon Gold, Inc.
) and
Jaguar Mining Inc.
) provide great examples of trend stocks to be careful of. Shares
of both stocks surged in August. Gammon jumped 30% between August
and September, while JAG increased 21% between the time the miners
got trapped and they were rescued.
These fundamentally weak companies profited from the mining
trend. And while they've maintained gradual growth in the months
following the rescue, we can already see them showing their true
colors and losing momentum.
My final big no-buy for 2011 is the insurance company
Manulife Financial Corp.
). Insurance companies often get a bad rap, but in this instance
the company deserves it. However, in late August the company seemed
to be turning around the downward trend it had experienced all year
and picked up speed. This month alone MFC shares have jumped 20%
and all appearances make it seem like the growth will continue. The
only problem: The company's metric grades do not reflect this
optimistic outlook. Across the board Manulife is receiving D's and
F's in its fundamental markers. And these important fundamentals
don't appear to be changing anytime soon.
It may be tempting to succumb to media hype and sudden big
sector movements like we're seeing with raw materials and precious
metals, but you need to remember to keep your head.
Like a building, if a company is built on a shaky foundation, it
will inevitably come crashing down. When deciding where to invest
your funds, make sure you look at the overall performance of a
company and try to anticipate how it will react to important
external factors.
But don't feel too overwhelmed. As always, I promise to be here

At Oakam we are committed to offer our customers responsible access to credit. As a consumer credit lender, we are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Consumer Credit Act and we take our obligation to treat you in a fair and respectful manner very seriously.
Oakam is committed to responsible lending and the following information is designed to assist you in finding help and managing any financial difficulties that you might find yourself in.
Please feel free to contact our customer care team on 02031 312 647 with any questions.
What can you expect from Oakam
Affordable Repayments
We look at every customer individually. We listen to you, consider your current financial situation and establish how much you can afford to repay before making a lending decision. The loan we offer is tailored to your life and needs in terms of repayment amount, repayment frequency and repayment method.
Transparent Products
We work hard to ensure that your loan is explained in full, highlighting the risks as well as the benefits in an open and transparent manner so that you are fully aware of the terms of your agreement. We are open about any costs so that there are no hidden fees or charges. You know how much you will repay before committing to the loan. No surprises! We will not charge you any late fees either.
Support to Build or Improve your Credit Score
Oakam will help you to build your credit history by reporting your repayments back to Credit Reference Agencies. Your on-time repayments may improve your credit score over time. However, we will report any missed payments to the same Agencies, and this may affect your credit score adversely and make it more difficult to borrow in the future.
Respectful, Non-Judgemental Service in your language
At Oakam, we are fully dedicated to serving our customers in a respectful and friendly manner at all times. Our employees are committed to understanding your point of view and circumstances and will treat every customer in a non-judgemental and empathetic way.
Your local store team and our customer care team are always available to discuss any difficulties that you might encounter when repaying your loan, for example, if your personal circumstances have changed. We promise to act in a professional and considerate way and will work with you to find a solution. If you have come to the UK from another country and prefer to discuss a loan in your mother tongue – You can! Our multi-lingual advisors are happy to explain everything in the language of your choice! At Oakam we speak 20+ languages and many more dialects.
Your Data is Safe!
In accordance with our Privacy Policy, the Data Protection Act 1998 and other data protection laws all personal information is handled securely and in confidence.
If You Feel Dissatisfied
We continually monitor our customer services team to ensure that you always receive polite, professional and timely handling of any queries or complaints you may have. We aim to resolve all complaints within 7 days as set out in our Complaints Policy.
This is what we ask of our customers
It is important that you provide us with accurate and complete information during the loan application. We will use this information to establish the affordability of an Oakam loan and to make a decision about the loan amount, so it's important that the information is 100% right.
We ask you to read all the contractual documents that we provide to you before agreeing to the loan and to ask questions if you are unclear about any aspect of it. Please, feel also free to contact us if you have any questions later regarding the loan.
Please be honest with yourself and us when looking at your weekly, fortnightly or monthly budget. You and us have to feel confident that you can afford the repayments of the loan you like.
After taking an Oakam loan, please take time to regularly review your financial commitments. If anything has changed and you might find it difficult to meet your repayments please contact us at the earliest opportunity. Our friendly Customer Care team will discuss this and can make specific arrangements to support you through this time.
What to do if you experience financial difficulty
We understand that our customers experience unexpected changes in their financial situation from time to time which may make paying back their loans difficult. We aim to provide support to our customers and if this does affect you the following information is designed to help you.
Shorter and midterm loans are not designed to cover long-term financial difficulties and therefore if you cannot meet your repayments do not take out additional loans. This will put you into a debt cycle and will make it even harder for you to get back on track.
It is important to be honest with yourself if you find yourself in a financially difficult situation. Please contact us immediately if you do not believe you will be able to meet the repayment of your loan, so we can work out a solution together. If you do not make us aware and you default on your loan you will not incur additional charges.
To stay on top of your finances, we recommend that you regularly review your budget by listing all your bills, loans and other expenditures including credit cards and comparing this against your income. We all spend money on non-essential items and you should try to reduce your spending by prioritising on what is important such as rent, council tax, heating, and child support/maintenance payments.
If appropriate, you may want to think about contacting people who can help you, this could be family and friends or any of the independent financial advisors listed below. Also some unions and employers offer confidential counselling services to employees.

Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM lens unveiled
Sigma Corporation has unveiled the new 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM large aperture standard zoom lens.
The lens incorporates Sigma's optical stabilisation function, which can be used on Sony and Pentax cameras even if the camera body features its own anti-shake function.
This, coupled with the large aperture of F2.9 mmeans the lens will make a good choice for both indoor and low light photography.
The lens features two special low dispersion glass elements and three aspherical lenses for aberration correction, as well as both inner focusing and inner zooming systems so the overall length of the lens doesn't change.
You'll get a minimum focusing distance of 30cm throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.1.
Pricing and availability is to be announced - we'll keep you updated.

A hard-scope is a kind of fast sniper rifle kill. Unlike quick-scoping, hard-scoping focuses on what is in the view of the actual scope. I was never very good at quick-scoping, so I would always do this, quickly scanning the sight over the enemies and timing shots accordingly.

No, your sight is still allowed to appear on the screen for a quickscope. The reason you see others do it without the sight coming up is because of the delay in killcams.

No. There really isn't anything sterile about birth.
If I had strangers touching in there or the baby/ cord after birth, I would want them to wear gloves because their flora is not mine. Otherwise, no gloves needed.
Infection causes a large percentage of maternal deaths in developing countries. In America, we don't really fear infection because we have, in general, less experience with it or loss from it. Because of this, we can tend toward carelessness. The material presented here is only referred back to later, so please mark this page for reference and review.
Aseptic techniques are practices that reduce exposure to infection. They include:
Hand washing as described below.
· Clean clothing: anyone coming into contact with the mother should take care to not have any loose dirt or contaminants on their clothing.
· A clean environment: all pillows and sheets the mother will be in contact with should be freshly laundered and have no mildew, food, or bodily fluids on them. The toilet, shower, or bath should be bleached before hand.
· Any tools being used for the birth (such as scissors, mirrors, etc.) should be bleached and then heat dried (if possible). You can sterilize a knife or scissors by scrubbing clean and then boiling for 20 minutes or soaking in alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for 20 minutes.
· Quick removal of bodily fluids including vomit, feces, urine, or blood.
· Quick removal of soiled or moist dressings, drapes, or bedding. Anything moist is considered contaminated.[i]
Antiseptic Handwashing Technique
Apply an antiseptic (such as an iodophor sanitizer) and scrub your hands and fingernail beds for 3 minutes under running water. Keep hands above the elbows during whole washing period. Dry hands carefully as water breeds pathogens. Be careful to turn off the water with a dry barrier between you and the faucet. If no water is available, apply alcohol sanitizer to the hands and fingernail beds and wait until it is dry. Wash your hands before you apply gloves in case the gloves are torn or nicked during use. Bacteria grows quickly inside warm moist gloves, so be careful to also wash your hands after you take the gloves off.
Apply gloves. Do not let your bare hands touch the outside surface of the glove. Do not let your gloved hand touch bare skin or the inner part of the other glove's surface.[ii]
Even after surgical scrubs, bare hands are always considered potentially infectious and should never come in direct contact with sterile equipment or access points to the mother's internal body. After hands are completely dry, pick up the gloves from the inside to apply.
I'm also very interested in your intentions here, Unbelievable. Do you even support UC? I noticed you joined Mothering.com today, and I've only seen two unsupportive posts from you.

Birth and Violence
In the Headlines
Teen-age Killer Joshua Jenkins May 23, 1997
By David B. Chamberlain, Editor
In Vista, CA lawyers for both sides wrapped up four weeks of testimony today in the case of teen-age killer Joshua Jenkins. On February 2 and 3, 1996, the sixteen year old boy used a hammer, knife, and ax to kill his parents, his grandparents, and his ten year old sister. After cleaning the instruments, taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, the boy set the condominium on fire and fled. Joshua Jenkins was adopted and always wanted to know about his birth parents, but was never told. His adopting parents said they had a letter from his birth mother but refused to show it to him. This was just one source of continuing anger. For years, he had been aggressive with his parents, teachers, and others. In the summer of 1995 he was arrested after a fight with his father. Subsequently, his parents placed him in a school for troubled youths in Los Angeles. He said he thought his parents had abandoned him. The trial cost over $40,000 in fees for just one of the four psychiatrists who argued over the boy's sanity at the time of the killing. Three defense psychiatrists claimed he was schizophrenic and was acting out a delusion of "saving" his family from a dangerous world. The prosecution presented a noted forensic psychiatrist who disputed the diagnosis but acknowledged that the boy certainly suffered from mental illness. All agreed that the boy suffered from chronic depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, and severe learning disability. Although it was not a matter of interest to the court, the boy's spread of illnesses and disabilities point directly to the prenatal period when his brain was constructed. His equipment for living was shaped in the womb of a mother who did not plan to keep him. This circumstance does not automatically mean there was preconceptual thoughtlessness and injury, negligence during construction of the embryo, or nutritional poverty throughout pregnancy, but all these possibilities should be checked out by any parent seriously considering adoption of an unwanted child. Although schizophrenia has long defied explanation in psychiatry, and its typical blossoming in adolescence obscures its connection to events before birth, the latest understandings of this ubiquitous mental illness are coming from hi-tech studies which reveal structural deficiencies in schizophrenic brains. The schizophrenic brain does not work as it should to separate fantasy from reality or rationality from emotion. Impulsivity typically overwhelms patience and judgment. All these deficits in normal brain power are consistently discovered in clinical assessments of incarcerated criminals, especially those found guilty of heinous crimes of violence. Prisons are full of persons who cannot give normal attention, do not learn from experience, cannot control their extreme moods, do not discern between right and wrong, who act out their paranoid suspicions, and self-medicate chronic depression with street drugs and alcohol. The real foundation of their problematic lives is a poorly built brain constructed in the bellies of their mothers. If what follows after birth is also done poorly, we have the makings of the familiar trail of sorrows that ends in rage and death. Can we really believe that longer prison terms will dissuade these persons from committing a crime?
Excerpt from a story in the San Diego Union Tribune 8-17-96 Joe Hughes and Maria Hunt:
Graduate Student Shoots Three Professors
San Diego State engineering student, Frederick Martin Davidson hid a handgun in a classroom first-aid kit hours before he methodically killed three professors--chasing two of them down, police said yesterday. Davidson, 36, a loner, who spent most of his time toiling in a research lab, was apparently upset over the progress of his master's thesis. The police chief said Davidson had made careful plans by hiding a .9mm Taurus handgun and five spare clips in the metal first-aid kit box on the wall of the third-floor classroom in the Engineering Building where he was to defend his thesis. Investigators have determined that he slipped into the room about 10 a.m.and hid the gun and ammunition. Whe he returned to the room about 2 p.m. the three professors were seated at a table and three student monitors were standing behind them. His faculty advisor rose, walked over and greeted Davidson and stated the purpose of the meeting. At that time, without saying a word, Davidson turned around, walked a few steps to the first-aid box, retrieved the gun and opened fire, killing his advisor. As the students and other faculty ran for cover, Davidson hunted them down, ignoring the students, firing 23 rounds during the four-minute frenzy. Campus police found Davidson pacing back and forth in the hall, holding a gun to his side. Twice he told officers to shoot him, dropping his gun, and was led away sobbing. Charles Brashear, a retired professor of English who rented a room to Davidson for two years said he saw nothing that foreshadowed such an outburst, although Davidson had snapped at him for prying into his personal business a few months ago asking whether he would be graduating. He reported that Davidson had revealed his ambivalence toward his faculty advisor referring to him as a close colleague and friend, but at other times as an "enemy." He was both "grateful" and "resentful." They had collaborated on research, publishing two articles together. According to the landlord, Davidson was extremely neat, nervously straightening papers that were out of allignment on his desk. His room was Spartan, with only a framed undergraduate diploma and a nature calendar on the wall. Davidson had few close friends and no romantic attachments. He sometimes went to Las Vegas for gambling and shows. Acquaintances said that his parents had divorced when he was young...
Excerpt from "The Lost Children" James O. Jackson, TIME, 3-25-96
A Monster Goes On A Rampage
For those who stood, bewildered, on the streets of Dunblane that terrible day, the sight of the anguished woman is one they can never forget, a defining vision of the Scottish town's moment of horror. "Victoria!" she cried, as a convoy of ambulances sped past, sirens screaming and lights flashing. Victoria was one of the names read out in mournful voice by the police chief: Emma, Melissa, Megan...They are the names of the dead and maimed of Dunblane's little primary-school gymnasium where a man with a pocketful of pistols and a mind filled with hatred massacred children. In all, 16 five- and six-year-old first-graders and their teacher died when a failed youth leader named Thomas Hamilton, 43, unmarried, barged into the school and emptied four handguns into them as they screamed and cowered in the gym. Two other teachers and 12 children were wounded, three critically, before Hamilton put one of the guns to his head and blew part of it away. "Evil visited us yesterday," said the school's headmaster, "we don't know why, we don't understand it..." So far, authorities can only put together the sequence of events that led to the evil of Dunblane. The start might be traced back as far as 1974, when Boy Scout officials dismissed Hamilton, then 21, for "inappropriate behavior" as leader of a local troop, and to subsequent incidents involving his attempt to organize boys' sport clubs. Or it might have arisen with his fascination with hand guns, which he obtained as long as 20 years ago and owned legally despite strict British laws. Around 9 a.m. on the morning of the slaughter, Hamilton left his bachelor apartment and headed for school. A 71-year-old neighbor woman said he waved to her as he stepped into the car. "He seemed cheerful and perfectly happy" she said. He was not. In the pockets of a black coat he carried four handguns plus a packet of bitterly angry letters to British news organizations detailing his grievances against the town for treating him as a "pervert." He apparently stopped to mail the letters, which reached their destinations two days later. He started shooting in the playground, then down a corridor as he made his way to the gymnasium. Firing from a corner of the room, Hamilton hit a teacher as she tried to shield the 29 children she had taken there for phys. ed. She died on the spot. Then he moved around the room, methodically shooting the screaming children, chasing some as they ran and pumping at least one and sometimes three or more bullets into the little bodies. Then he retreated to a corner and fired the final bullet into his own brain. By all accounts, Hamilton was odd. The woman he always believed was his sister was, in reality, his mother. His father, now 65, abandoned the family when Hamilton was 18 months old. He never took an interest in him again until he learned, with shock, of the killings. The killer had been obsessed with boys and their bodies. Members of a sports club he organized said he would make them take off their shirts all the time. Parents pulled their children out and thought of him as a pedophile. He was called a "sicko" and a "loner."

While the tragic events that took place at the Boston Marathon are still fresh in their minds, the Boston Celtics will try to shift their attention back to the court. In its final tuneup before the playoffs, visiting Boston goes for a four-game season sweep of the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. The Celtics (41-39) will only play 81 games this season after Tuesday's matchup against Indiana was canceled in response to the Boston Marathon bombings. "Out of respect to all of the people who were affected by this, the families, we felt like it's just not circumstances we wanted to play under and felt it would be the best way for us as an organization to show our respects to all of the people who are impacted by this," team president Rich Gotham told the Celtics' official website. "I just think it was more of an emotional decision to try to do what's right and respect the families and understand that people might not want to be out." With Indiana and Boston locked into the Easter...

LETTERS: Royal baby nice respite from stateside news
How about another prospective...........hmmmmmm, would it be incorrect to tag this cute little follow as a welfare baby? Neither of his parents have a real job and the entire family lives off a subsidy from the British taxpayers. Just a thought early on a Saturday morning.

Thousands take to Atlanta streets to protest Trayvon Martin verdict
The argument that stand your ground laws are somehow discriminatory agaisnt blacks is at best shallow, but more likely hollow. If a black person is killed in this country, 92% of the time it is by another black person. If you want to discuss inter-racial crime; 81% of the time the perpetrator is black and the victim is white.
We have to be more responsible for ourselves and our familes' safety. The police do as good a job as they can but cannot be everywhere. That includes arming yourself if you choose; AFTER adequate use and safety training. The laws should encourage us to be more responsible for our own well being and not set us up to be victims.

Zimmerman found not guilty in killing of Fla. teenager
Anyone with a minimal level of intelligence knows this was the correct verdict. Since there was not an immediate arrest, the civil rights war-lords in this country had a "spell;" and pushed the state/prosecution to make an arrest to avoid a "scene." For those in the criminal justice field know that it is not unheard of for there not to be an immediate arrest. A thorough investigation is preferred to a "knee-jerk" reaction. With all the political pressure the prosecution did not have a choice but to file charges, even though they may not have believed an adequate case existed. However, they did put up all the evidence and let those throughly interested in the truth see that they did not have a good case to try. Simply because something bad happens, it does not mean a crime was committed. Somewhere during the case it was said, "it is a tragedy that Trayvon Martin is dead, but would have been a travesty if George Zimmerman had been convicted." How true.

Holiday DUI campaign begins
Hey Say,
Your figures are way, way off. The vast majority of vehicle crashes are caused by other than drunk drivers. Most other crashes are caused by drivers not paying full attention to driving; doing things like texting, talking on phones, checking email, looking at maps, reading newspapers or books, applying makeup, eating, fiddling with the sound system, talking with passengers, holding a pet, etc. If you are doing anything besides driving you are less safe. Even a hands free cell phone takes your full attention away from driving; you are concentrating on the conversation, not your driving. Just that split second of distraction can be serious. As you may have noticed, a great deal of attention of the media is not focused on distracted drivers.

Mr. Sailors being released on a murder charge is significant; him being released on a $11,000+ indicates the prosecution does not think much of the murder charge. The police often over-charge a case and leave it up to the DA to take the heat for indicting on a more appropriate, lesser offense, if any. We'll see.

# of Sprays: 3-4
Sillage: Moderate to Heavy
Longevity: 8+ hours
This may sound odd but for my skin this fragrance opens with a urinal cake smell but that quickly dies down within the first 20 minutes and then the beauty of this fragrance shines through. it really is something special and has a sense of quality in it much higher then the cost of this frag. it's a very warm and sensual fragrance. something you might even want to go to sleep in. i would recommend this for colder months or a cool summer night. For me the Oud doesnt really shine through, it's more of a woodsy accord that blends beautifully with the other notes but if you're expecting a mainly Oud fragrance then you'll have to seek it elsewhere.

Remember Me
"I think it's mysterious. It has a tendency to sort of suck you in and take you on a journey and then drop you off in a really nice place."
Listening to bassist Dave Schools describe his band Widespread Panic's ninth studio album, Earth To America, you can hear the excitement and almost taste the passion. This "mysterious" feeling of a "journey" comes through immediately with the first track on the album - the eleven-minute "Second Skin." Written by Schools and longtime band-collaborator and close friend Jerry Joseph, "Second Skin" may be the band's best song in close to five years. With the help of wonder-producer Terry Manning and the huge string section he implemented (think Zeppelin's "Kashmir"), "Second Skin" was elevated from a great song, to one that will go down as Classic Panic.
"We obviously went back to our old way of doing things with Earth To America" explains lead vocalist and guitarist John Bell. What he's referring to is the contrast with their last studio album, 2003's Ball, where the songs were created in the studio, on the spot. With Earth To America (like almost all the other albums), most of the songs were road-tested first. But on the other hand, Panic made one drastic change with this album; instead of recording at home with producer John Keane (with whom they have worked almost exclusively), they flew to the Bahamas to work with Manning at his famous Compass Point Studios. More than having anything to do with Keane, this was just a chance to switch things up, to go to a new place, to have new variables, and to see how it affected the album. When asked where Manning really excelled, Schools says, "I think where his ability really came out was in getting JB to places as a vocalist. I think the vocal performance on 'Ribs and Whiskey' – it's something I've heard JB get into on occasion on stage, this sort of almost other personality comes out of him. I feel like this is the strongest I've ever heard John Bell come out on a studio record."
And it's not just JB. The new configuration of Widespread Panic as a whole has reached a new high with Earth To America. George McConnell has truly found his place and is adding his skills far more effectively than ever before. His slinky, snake-like guitar on "Time Zones" works perfectly with Bell's vocals, and his often understated guitar lines do well to keep the feel cohesive and to tie many of the songs together.
Two of the more impressive tracks are relatively unfamiliar to fans. "From the Cradle" features an incredibly captivating break-down with stop-start dynamics and an inspired performance by JB as he pushes the song to its apex. Balancing some of the more space-bound tracks, "Crazy" incorporates a wonderful structure that allows JB to tell a tale and to paint pictures with his words. JB elaborates, "'From the Cradle' predominantly came from Todd [Nance], he writes a lot of songs too. 'Crazy' we played a couple times but never very well. So we abandoned that pretty quick, about a year ago. We made two or three attempts at it, and it never felt flowy because there were more parts to it. Now here, I usually will not say things about what a song is about, but the inspiration for this song ['Crazy'] is Vincent Van Gogh, and when you listen to the lyrics I think that'll be obvious."
Two other songs that clearly stand out, "Goodpeople" and "You Should Be Glad," serve as prime examples of Terry Manning's tasteful touch. Both utilize Manning's Bahamian horn section, and both show subtle-yet-critical use of the studio. But more than anything, both swing with a confident swagger (in no small part due to the horns). While both songs are polished, they also maintain that "Panic Thing" where everything starts to move and shake, where the sound starts to take on a life of its own. Like the album as a whole, the songs are full of life and a fire that truly makes this the best album we've seen since Til the Medicine Takes.
Earth To America finds Panic stronger than we've seen them in quite some time. After the death of Michael Houser, both band and fans alike were left wondering, questioning, even drifting away from the music that had helped define their lives. Yes, things have changed. Like Schools stressed over the phone, "There isn't a Mikey here. That era has passed; it's over. And the fans can either quit bitching about it and accept it or just move on." While this is clearly true, what may be most intriguing about Earth To America is not what dyed-in-the-wool fans think, but rather what new ears hear. As producer Terry Manning states time and again in his discussion with fellow JamBase journalist Andy Tennille, Panic is one of the most mis-understood and under-rated bands of our time. Because they take chances, improvise live, and are committed to changing their setlist every night, they have been branded a "jamband." And while this term is virtually meaningless in 2006, I think it's safe to say that when trying to describe a band like Widespread Panic, it's incredibly limiting. Yes, they do jam on stage, but they also write incredible rock songs that resonate both on a very cerebral level and a deeply emotional one. Furthermore, they play so hard and with so much passion it's impossible to not simply revert to rock & roll - true, blue-collar, gritty rock & roll. The question remains, "Will people actually hear this record or simply assume they already know what Panic is all about?"
Earth to America, are you listening?

I really feel this is a strong album and doesn't have that "every song sounds the same" mark that a lot of earlier efforts have. With all the talk of line-up changes/additions/etc for the summer tour, I really hope the six-headed monster drops all of those notions and shows America why they are the number one band touring right now. Happy touring everybody!
Just got the album in the mail yesterday. I really liked the way they gave you bonus material via email. the extras were great especially the part with Ribs N Whiskey and the piano JoJo used for it. have a couple of buddies who are going to the record release in NY and am really jealous. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait until Memphis.
We're listening!
You should be glad, you should be happy to be alive. You should be glad the blood runs through our veins.Panic!See ya'll at the Fox and in Chicago
I'm confused about a Panic date- This web site lists the 7/18 date in Boise, while the local media (Idaho) has been listing them playing Brundage that day. I saw then at Brundage last year and the venue was absolutely great!
they did that date venue confuse last fall, in nashville. One said nashville, another source said antioch. they are just really close. and the only thing in antioch is an amphitheater so , probably the same case. Damn i'm glad i live in this great country
All I can say about this album is WOW!!!!! I think Terry Manning should win some kind of award for what he's done- the production on this record is top-notch. The horns are perfect- except perhaps I could hear more of them- it seems they only appear at the end of songs. Look out America the absolute best band you never heard of is coming!!!!
This was a nice review by Cayceman, but I don't think it was necessary to include Schools' comments. Who's bitching and about what? Is Too Cool Dave Schools referring to the loooong time fans that gave him (and the band) the support all these years to help get him where he is today? What...Now that he's way up on his pedestal and looking down, he doesn't care about their opinions. I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to drop Panic from the name entirely and just go with Widespread.
this is a horrible album. Widespread is no longer a guitar band. I like Solid Rock and Time Zones. Thats it !!JBs vocals on R&W sounds like his nose is pluggedIf you want a dose of real PANIC check out Housers Sand Box. Amazing energy and soul.
thejuice antioch is in the Metro-Nashville area, a lot of times they call it Nashville, some bands say Antioch. They are pretty much one in the same. Songlines you need to listen to Second Skin, because this is their second skin. They're moving on, and so should we. I'm sure they've had a lot more difficult time moving on. If Mikey was the only reason why you listened, then you never really were a fan, and not mention you're missing out on some other really great musicians. Yeah it's different than the past, but it's stil great Panic. I love how JoJo's panio playing skills were really highlighted. I do wish he would have gotten some lead vocals in on the album. Sandbox is an extrodinary album.
Although I do agree with you have schools comment was a little out of line, I have several friends that all they can talk about is how its not the same, comparing George to Mikey and talking about the "good ol' days". People need to realize that they are not the same band they were before Mikey died. They need to accept it and love it because it is still a really amazing thing, or not like it and move on. I agree with him about it being the best album since 'Til the Medicine takes, Terry was great producer. From the Cradle Rocks!
I had seen panic a few times with houser.... Granted it was at the end but something always left me cold. Suddenly I was talked into seeing panic again with george. I absoloutely loved it. His guitar playing has fire. He is young and hungry. He creates moreinterpay on stage, pushes everyone else. I like panic more now than I ever did. Not to insult mikey or anything of the sort, but as a guitarist myself I have come to the conclusion that unlike say a trey anastasio or a warren haynes who have in betweens, you either liked mikey's playing or you didn't. What I am now seeing is that swarms of people are saying "yknow gee I never really liked panic that much before but now I dont know...." do the math
Kayceman, I always look forward to your reviews. You're always on point! ETA is a GREAT album and I'm in love with From the Cradle! Crazy, Good People and Second Skin are stellar as well.See you all on the road!
"There isn't a Mikey here. That era has passed; it's over. And the fans can either quit bitching about it and accept it or just move on." I'm glad to see a member of the band come out and say that. I'm so f'in tired of listening to people say how Panic used to be so much better when he was still here. Maybe so, but I don't think you should look at it in that perspective. It's not about being better or worse, it's about being the same band, just w/some newly added flavor, which isn't always a bad thing.
dear Terry Manning, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!!!!!!! sincerely, wpjunky
I do like this album more and more each time I listen to it. Second Skin could be shorter, while others longer. I wish JoJo and Mr. Ortiz would have been showcased much more on this album. The horns on Goodpeople and You Should Be Glad sound a little cheesy and canned. I see these two songs being played at the WP and the DDBB shindigs, which will put some life into those shows.The groovin' songs are From the Cradle and Time Zones, which lets George do his thing. I can't help but smile all through Ribs and Whiskey with the way JB's voice is smilin' like a mischievious imp. I'll let leebarnhill's naive remarks slide since he really contradicts himself by quoting Schools, but then saying the band is the same with newly added flavor. Either that, or leebarnhill doesn't understand that Schools is saying the band IS different without Mikey, so accept it and realize this album reflects the Widespread Panic of the here and now.
I believe that varied style between songs on an album shows a mark of strength for a band. I think this album is definately their strongest yet. If anyone you know hasn't heard anything from it yet, send them this...http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ecard/eta_2.html
I wonder if anyone has really looked up from their computers lately.. Msybe you have changed alot since mikey... 5/6ths of the band is still there. George is a little faster, mikey was a little more "perfect" in his selection of notes; who gives a shit? its either good or bad period... i'll go with good
Wasatch:I guess I should have used the phrase "different but the same." My bad man...
after seeing WSP @ RR last weekend I must say I am hooked on E2A. I don't like comparing albums, its useless. But I wasn't feeling the groove quite right until I heard it live... now i get it.. peace and enjoy the music.
It is useless to nitpick about it. Its useless to compare the albums. Its useless to bicker about what was better when. I saw the dead 14 times. I saw JGB twice. I have seen WSP 100 times.. You know what? I still go to see Ratdog, Phil, and Panic!!!! Why??? The spirit, the creativity, and the spirit are still there. Buddism teaches EVERYTHING is impermanent!!! Its true!! Fight, argue, bicker, stop going to shows, it doesnt matter, ALL THINGS CHANGE, accept it, and you can go on enjoying music because its different and ever expanding to achieve a new and lasting conciousness that can last for that moment in time. When a band plays a show, ONLY THAT SHOW MATTERS, not every show in the past.. Get this in your headz, and you will be free.. Peace, Ya'll..
I think the album rocks. I think i've listened to the album about 100 times and I still smile everytime I hear it. Thanks guys
As a new panic fan I'm so glad to finally hear comments on the Houser/George thing from someone who counts...Dave Schools. THANKS. As a good WSP fan I have done my homework and LOVE Houser/old WSP and the beautiful Sandbox album. E2A ROCKS!... but the live downloads have been even better for myself. "From the Cradle" is right on time...just can't get enough of Panic and can't wait until the KY show!!!!

Shoppers can spruce up a bland couch with the smoky touch of an accent pillow in dark roast ($39), or display flowers or waterproof report cards in an Eddy vase ($48). The curving antlers of the Jack D. Jackalope wall hook ($49.99) display keys and other hangables, and glass-vase napkin rings by Two?s Company ($36) double as both homes for small buds and hoopla hoops for hamster dinner guests.200 West Holly StreetBellingham, WA US
A-1 CleanersRead MoreThe skillful garment groomers at A-1 Cleaners strive to restore the delicate denizens of customers' closets to a pristine, good-as-new state using gentle solvents, top-of-the-line equipment, and high standards of quality. Dingy blouses, pants, dress shirts, and scarves ($3.99 each on sale, $7.99 regularly) undergo a thorough, tearful conversion when placed in the redemptive care of A-1's stain-eradicating clothes cleaners and their cutting-edge habiliment-rehabilitating technology. The equipment's non-abrasive solvents work to remove soil and sauce with less harm to fabric fibres than traditional methods, without the risk of fading colours or shrinking vestments to doll-house-wardrobe size. Once cleaned, clothes return to their owners freshly pressed, packaged, and bearing newly trimmed claws.4210 Guide Meridian RoadBellingham, WA US
NorthWest Therapeutic Riding CenterRead MoreJulia Chapin Bozzo has been on an equestrian crusade for 20 years. She founded NorthWest Therapeutic Riding Center in 1993, and has overseen its Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) programs since day one, fostering a welcoming, nurturing environment for riders with disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and brain injuries. Adhering to the strict guidelines set forth by PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International), her facility leverages the healing power of horses to enrich the well-being of riders of all ages. Whether they're toddlers or seniors, each participant reaps the physical, mental, emotional, and social rewards of riding with the center's gentle horses—gaining strength and coordination, interacting with the natural world, and, most importantly, building self-esteem. Thanks to Julia's efforts and the assistance of certified riding instructors and a 30-strong team of weekly volunteers, the center conducts more than 950 lessons annually, each individually tailored to the rider's therapeutic goals.

The Moss BustersRead MoreThe team of licensed professionals at The Moss Busters "busts" outdoor messes with moss-removal, gutter-cleaning, and pressure-washing services. Not only do their services make homes look better, but they also help prevent costly damage by removing excess moisture that can eat away at the roof, siding, and foundation. The team can also apply an algaecide to rooftops that will prevent moss, mold, and algae from growing, damaging the roof and spelling out the family's computer password for the neighbors to see.1050 Larrabee Ave Ste 104Bellingham, WA US
