LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Gwinnett Braves won't be playing at Coolray Field this weekend, but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time there on Sunday. The Willie Nelson Country Throwdown Tour is making a pit stop for one night only with a mixture of mainstream country artists and up-and-coming singer-songwriters on multiple stages.
"I'm really looking forward to the tour and working with Jamey, Randy and all the folks," Willie Nelson said in a pre-tour release.
In addition to Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, Craig Campbell and Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real will perform as well as Drake White, who was just added to the bill.
"The tour is going well," said Lukas Nelson, Willie Nelson's son and front man of Promise of the Real. "We [the band] just learned 'Sympathy for the Devil' by the Rolling Stones, so the audience is in for a treat."
This is Coolray Field's first large, mainstream concert. In 2009, Christian rockers 12 Stones performed, but at a much smaller scale.
With the G-Braves on the road for a few days, the staff is able to transform the field into a stage, plus a pit area, a standing room section, food venues and of course, plenty of portable toilets.
"The great thing about the stadium is it's a natural amphitheater," said North Johnson, the Gwinnett Braves' general manager. "Everyone will have a great vantage point of the stage no matter where they sit."
There will be double the amount of employees during the show for various reasons, but safety is the first priority. Fans are allowed on the field -- which doesn't happen often -- and there will also be a higher number of tailgaters in the parking lot that the staff will watch over.
The usual wear and tear shouldn't be a problem with the field, but the G-Braves staff is taking precautions with the trucks and trailers going in and out of the stadium.
"At the end of the day, it's only grass," Johnson said. "But when we need to get the lighting, stage and other equipment on and off the field, we are literally putting down hundreds of sheets of plywood to help from any damage."
Lawn chairs are not permitted in the stadium, but blankets are welcomed.
With each ticket bought, 50 cents will be donated to Unite the United Foundation, which raises money for a positive change in the national community by supporting grassroots charities across the United States.
The gates open at 3 p.m. and the festivities are scheduled to end at 11 p.m. No outside food or drinks are allowed. Parking is $5.

Ruling in NCAA Case May Bring Some Players Closer to Share of Profits
Follow @jbrezlowNovember 11, 2013, 3:24 pm ET
In a case that could fundamentally shake the economic model of college athletics, a federal judge on Friday agreed to partially certify a lawsuit challenging restrictions on how student athletes may be compensated in exchange for playing sports.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken allows a group of about 20 current and former college players to press ahead with a class action against NCAA rules that prevent athletes from sharing in licensing deals or television revenue. Current guidelines classify players as amateurs, prohibiting them from earning compensation beyond the value of their athletic scholarships.
However, the ruling also came with one major caveat: While Judge Wilken cleared a pathway for players to share in future revenues, she rejected a separate bid that would have allowed them to collect damages for the past use of their images and likenesses both on television and in video games. Had that effort succeeded, the NCAA's legal tab could have run into the billions.
The split decision left both sides claiming victory.
"We have long maintained that the plaintiffs in this matter are wrong on the facts and wrong on the law," wrote the NCAA's chief legal officer, Donald Remy, in a statement. "This ruling is one step closer to validating that position."
In a competing statement, attorneys for the plaintiffs wrote, "While we are disappointed that the court did not permit the athletes to seek past damages as a group, we are nevertheless hopeful that the court's decision will cause the NCAA to reconsider its business practices … The court's ruling is a giant leap in the effort to end these unfair practices."
Wilken's ruling comes a little more than a month after the video game maker EA Sports and Collegiate Licensing Company agreed to a $40 million settlement with players in the NCAA suit, including former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon.
In 2009, O'Bannon became the lead plaintiff in the NCAA case after learning on a visit to a friend's house that his likeness had been licensed to EA for a video game. As he told FRONTLINE in the below scene from the 2011 film Money & March Madness, "[The NCAA] didn't ask me for my image. They didn't ask me, you know, for my left hand, for my sweet jump shot … Selfishly speaking, I want the way the NCAA does business, I want that to change."
The extent to which the NCAA will change will now depend on what a jury decides at a trial scheduled for next June, if not sooner. As Michael McMann, a sports law expert at the University of New Hampshire, explained in Sports Illustrated, Friday's ruling makes the chances of a settlement far more likely:

|To Taste
|To Taste
1. Prepare the pancake batter: sift the flour into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and break the eggs into it, then add the oil, pinch of salt and 60 ml (2 fl oz) milk. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in the remaining milk a little at a time. Let rest for 1 hour.
2. Remove the crust of the cheese and cut it into strips.
3. Preheat the oven to 140°C (275°F; gas mark 1).
4. Cook the pancakes: heat the oil in a frying pan, and, when the pan is very hot, pour in just enough batter to cover the base of the pan thinly. Cook each pancake, turning to cook both sides, for 3 minutes. Rub the frying pan with oil when necessary. Fill the pancakes with the strips of cheese and fold them over to form a triangle. Leave them on the heat for a few seconds so that the cheese melts. As soon as each pancake is ready, place in an ovenproof dish and keep warm in the oven, leaving the door ajar.
5. Beat the cream with a whisk, add the grated nutmeg. Season and place in the freezer for 2 minutes. Serve the very cold cream with the hot pancakes.

Have thoughts about the controversial history textbook being reviewed by Brevard Public Schools? Read our question below and comment on this article with your thoughts.
Some have expressed concern about how the Prentice Hall World History textbook describes terms like jihad; others say it's an adequate explanation for a survey course that spans the history of human kind. Below is the definition given on page 120, part of the chapter titled "Muslim Civilization."
"Another duty is jihad, or struggle in God's service. Jihad is usually a personal duty for Muslims, who focus on overcoming immorality within themselves. At other times, jihad may be interpreted as a holy war to defend Islam and the Muslim community, much like the Crusades to defend Christianity. However, just holy war may be declared only by the community, not by an individual Muslim or small group."
What do you think?

Yes, recipe writers have to make readers want to rush into the kitchen. And readers need convincing. But must we sell, sell, sell?
I found these 20 terms below in a cookbook I edited recently.
What's wrong with them? They're generic. They're overused. And I feel like I'm getting a sales pitch.
I put my least favorite term (no, not delicious) first. But "Perfect for any occasion" is delicious's equivalent in value and vagueness. What exactly does it mean? Perfect for a funeral and your kid's lunchbox? For a wedding or an after-school snack?
I bet the guy in the photo would use this term, if he thought it would work. It's his job to snow you. But is it your job to snow readers?
Here's my list of 20 tired sales pitches:
- Perfect for any occasion
- Minimum of time and effort
- You'll rely on these recipes day in and day out
- Amazingly quick and easy to prepare
- Packed with flavor
- They taste like they took all day to make
- Will turn heads and wake up taste buds at your next gathering
- One taste and the delicious secret will be out
- Takes only minutes to prepare
- Easy and versatile
- Delicious and elegant
- Ideal for busy weeknights
- Great company fare
- For a satisfying meal anytime
- A delicious meal in minutes
- Guaranteed to get rave reviews and recipe requests
- Looks more time-consuming than it is
- Will satisfy any sweet tooth
- All the luscious flavor in a fraction of the time
- An elegant way to finish a meal.
Got more to add to this list? Or have you decided, after reading my 20 terms, that this cookbook sounds appealing?

Yeah, those are pretty tired phrases. However, I must admit that I am guilty of using similarly uninspiring lines from time to time. I'm trying to be more aware about what I write, though, so I can make improvements. Articles like this one helps, so thanks for that.
Loved your commentary on "perfect for any occasion"! Oddly, I would actually appreciate some of these (such as, "ideal for busy weeknights"–always good to know you can whip something up fairly quickly and easily). Photo is funny, too (and did you snap it yourself? I only ask because there's no attribution supplied. . . .). 😉
This is funny and just a bit sad. (Shuffles off to edit backlist stories for offending phrases.)
How about, "Your kids won't know they are healthy"!
I really liked your take on "perfect for any occasion".
But where do we go for new phrases to describe cooking procedures, food and flavours once we have used these and others "too many times"?
I'm in the final edit of my cookbook, and I'm off to scan for your offending phrases!
I know that I'm also guilty of of a few cliches that I could add to that list:
"takes it to the next level"
"blows it out of the water!"
(Hi! First time commenter, but long time reader…)
That is an interesting point about "perfect for every occasion," and while I do agree that some of the phrases sound vague and somewhat useless, I think some of them are helpful. I sure hope Alana isn't literally editing out all of those phrases!
Things that tell me that it is quick and good for week nights, will be a hit for entertaining, and that the recipe isn't going to take as much time as it appears (some recipes look ominous with long ingredient lists or very detailed instructions so I pass them up – when in reality, they are quite simple and quick), are what I consider good informational intros as a cookbook reader!
I see your comment to Ricki, and if they were all repeated many times, that could get annoying. In that case, I think they should simply include prep and cook times or icons that tell you if the recipe is "quick and easy," "good for entertaining," etc.
Okay, well I'm not taking them all out…
But I've been thinking about this post this morning, and while I think some of these phrases can be helpful, it's when I use them (or others like them) as fallback when I have little else to say about the recipe that gets me into trouble. This doesn't seem to be such an issue when I'm writing on my blog and talking about 1 recipe at a time, but in a book of 100 recipes, the challenge increases.
OK, the printer is buzzing and your list will be taped to my computer with the header, "Thou Shalt Not"!
My favorite: "For a complete meal, serve with crusty bread and a big, green salad."
I never really understood the phrase, "Perfect for entertaining." Entertaining whom? My mother-in-law? My friend Jill? My husband's boss? My son's soccer team?
I say we scrap all those phrases and just go with, "Excellent for eating."
Someone I admire who recently turned out a stunning cookbook, The Commonsense Kitchen, once told me how much he loved the recipe writing process. In his book, you'll see how his distinct voice permeates the entire recipe. It's approachable, real and doesn't feel as if you're being "sold". I'm trying to incorporate more of that authenticity into my own recipe writing. It just makes sense.
On a side note, my recipes typically fall in to the healthy genre, so there are times I feel I need to use "packed with flavor" (or some variation of) so people give it a chance. Any advice on a better term to use in this case?
Maybe your writer should group her recipes into sections? That way the offending phrase is used once and an intriguing headnote will create interest in the indivdual recipes. Just a thought.
HaHa. I laughed when I read your list. I do like "easy and versatile" once in a while, but all the other ones have the opposite effect on me. I hate overselling. The picture really does it for me, when it comes to spontaneous cooking/baking. If that is good and the instructions are not 2 pages long, then I guarantee, I will make the recipe within a day. All the vague lines to push the recipes down my throat, well it is just not happening. No matter how perfect for whatever the occasion.
I really can't see the point of using such cliched sales pitches with recipes. I'm pretty sure they just wash over most readers leaving no impact at all – I know I take no notice of them. What is far more likely to leave an impression on me is a more personalised note or remark citing the author's own experience of the dish, giving me something to directly relate to.
The thing that sells a recipe to me is a great picture and the essay I read before it. That's the only thing that will get me to make it.
Oh, that and watching someone make it on TV. I'm a sucker for that.
The worst one on that list in my opinion is the "delicious meal in minutes" because there's no way that's true, unless it's something like cheese and bread and roasted vegetables. The phrase reminds me of the microwave cookbook I got as a wedding gift.
I'm guilty of..
11. Easy & Chic: Pressure Cooker Creme Caramel
17. It takes less time to cook than for you to read my description of this recipe.
Well, and I purposely named a recipe to sound really "trashy" – I sure hope it didn't go straight to the SPAM box of my readers:
" Naked, Steamy Pressure Cooked Carrot Flowers"
Like Elizabeth, I just used the phrase "sneak them [whole grains] into your family's diet" phrase in an article that will be published tomorrow – gonna see if I can change it. Sounds really bit cliche' right about now!.
P.S. Dianne, I subscribed to your newsletter, but when I look at your previous newsletters in PDF format (http://www.diannej.com/Newsletter.shtml). I can't click on the links. I was really looking forward to seeing where the "Denise Vivaldo fesses up" link took me!!
As usual, you sum up my sentiments exactly (wait, that's a tired cliche, too)
Anyway, you left out the one that makes me cringe:
Serve with a green salad and crusty bread
What a comprehensive list. I know I too am definitely guilty of using some of these, especially when it's late and I just want to get a post out. Thanks for the reminder to be more creative and that it's not simply good enough to come up with a stellar recipe, you also have to think about how you sell it.
Sometimes I find it really hard to come up with the header notes in a recipe. A friend of mine came up with "It's just yummy", and I worked that into the recipe. It is just difficult to be continually creative at times with clever phrases when it comes to a recipe.
Ha Ha Ha this post had me laughing out loud and then scratching my head wondering how many of these I have used. I do try and avoid these "explain nothing" phrases when I can except maybe where there is a more detailed explanation along with it. It is funny that these twenty can really be divided into 3 groups: taste: delicious (totally subjective), preparation: easy (for whom?) and versatility (you said it best!). You get to the point perfectly! Do I thank you again for a super post that gets us all thinking?
Once again, Dianne, one of your blog posts (this one) stuck with me and made me rethink it all. When you mention "selling" the recipe with these words of introduction and assurance, I began to look at which of my cookbooks I love and why I will select one or another recipe to try. I think the main problem with the above quotes is that they each imply something about ME (the reader/cook) as in I should find this delicious or want to use it for any occasion or I should find it a snap to make, which can not only sound presumptious but may simply turn out to be wrong (as you pointed out). I notice that what works for me, "sells" a recipe as you so astutely say, is when the author talks about the recipe in relationship to him or herself: why the author loves the recipe not why I should or will love the recipe. I find that Nigella Lawson and Giuliano Hazan both have this way of introducing a recipe and it turns me on!
I think this is applicable not just to writing recipes, but writing anything about food in general. Especially reviews. While I'm not a food blogger, I am admittedly guilty of using so much clichés in posts about food. I don't really want to, but sometimes when you get lazy you just stop thinking. However, I've seen other people resort to these so many times. Bad enough they do it in just about every post. How about peppering each post with more than one of these babies?

yes....he will fit the new offense much better then weeden...
Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 2/1/13
The Cleveland Browns were hoping to have the same results other NFL teams with their rookie quarterback selection of Brandon Weeden. It's safe to say things didn't go as planned. Weeden struggled in the West Coast offense, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns. His play has left many questioning the selection in the first round. In his first game, Weeden had a 5.1 passer rating after throwing four interceptions in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. According to Wikipedia, it was the sixth lowest rating in a season opener by any quarterback attempting at least 15 passes since the merger in 1970... Read more

There is no telling who is the better choice. Wheeden was given the job and Colt was thrown to the sidelines and not even given a chance after the abyssmal team performance of 2011. Colt did well and looked better than Wheeden (first years combined, despite stats). Wheeden is old and the time it will take him to develop would require finding another QB anyhow. It was a foolish draft choice by the Browns and they need to find a good, younger QB or give COlt the job.
Wheeden telegraphs all his passes, every throw is a bullet, and is 30 yrs old. The only problem with Cold is a weak long throw arm. If I had to pick between the two, it would be Colt. I would still try to get a better QB and trade of Weeden.
Weeden is inaccurate, he is afraid of being hit, cannot read defenses (did he call an audible all season?). It will be a miracle if he survives.

How Wall Street Hollowed Out Industrial America
Forget the fiscal cliff. America's real problem is a Wall Street that has eaten up industrial America and threatens to consume the rest of us.
In 2008, in the sunbelt town of Colorado Springs, Colorado, one-third of the city's street lights were extinguished, police helicopters were sold, watering and fertilizing in the parks was eliminated from the budget, and surrounding suburbs closed down the public bus system. During the recent Great Recession one-industry towns like Dalton, Georgia ("the carpet capital of the world"), or Blakely, Georgia ("the peanut capital of the world"), or Elkhart, Indiana ("the RV capital of the world") were closing libraries, firing police chiefs, and taking other desperate measures to survive.
And no one can forget Detroit. Once, it had been a world-class city, the country's fourth largest, full of architectural gems. In the 1950s, Detroit had a population with the highest median income and highest rate of home ownership in urban America. Now, the "motor city" haunts the national imagination as a ghost town. Home to two million a quarter-century ago, its decrepit hulk is now "home" to 900,000. Between 2000 and 2010 alone, the population hemorrhaged by 25%, nearly a quarter of a million people, almost as many as live in post-Katrina New Orleans. There and in other core industrial centers like Baltimore, "death zones" have emerged where whole neighborhoods verge on medical collapse.
One-third of Detroit, an area the size of San Francisco, is now little more than empty houses, empty factories, and fields gone feral. A whole industry of demolition, waste-disposal, and scrap-metal companies arose to tear down what once had been. With a jobless rate of 29%, some of its citizens are so poor they can't pay for funerals, so bodies pile up at mortuaries. Plans are even afoot to let the grasslands and forests take over, or to give the city to private enterprise.
Even the public zoo has been privatized. With staff and animals reduced to the barest of minimums and living wages endangered by its new owner, an associate curator working with elephants and rhinos went in search of another job. He found it with the city—chasing down feral dogs whose population had skyrocketed as the cityscape returned to wilderness. History had, it seemed, abandoned dogs along with their human compatriots.
Looking Backward
But could this just be the familiar story of capitalism's penchant for "creative destruction"? The usual tale of old ways disappearing, sometimes painfully, as part of the story of progress as new wonders appear in their place?
Imagine for a moment the time traveler from Looking Backward, Edward Bellamy's best-selling utopian novel of 1888 waking up in present-day America. Instead of the prosperous land filled with technological wonders and egalitarian harmony Bellamy envisioned, his protagonist would find an unnervingly familiar world of decaying cities, people growing ever poorer and sicker, bridges and roads crumpling, sweatshops a commonplace, the largest prison population on the planet, workers afraid to stand up to their bosses, schools failing, debts growing more onerous, and inequalities starker than ever.
A recent grim statistic suggests just how Bellamy's utopian hopes have given way to an increasingly dystopian reality. For the first time in American history, the life expectancy of white people, men and women, has actually dropped. Life spans for the least educated, in particular, have fallen by about four years since 1990. The steepest decline: white women lacking a high school diploma. They, on average, lost five years of life, while white men lacking a diploma lost three years.
Unprecedented for the United States, these numbers come close to the catastrophic decline Russian men experienced in the desperate years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Similarly, between 1985 and 2010, American women fell from 14th to 41st place in the United Nation's ranking of international life expectancy. (Among developed countries, American women now rank last.) Whatever combination of factors produced this social statistic, it may be the rawest measure of a society in the throes of economic anorexia.
One other marker of this eerie story of a developed nation undergoing underdevelopment and a striking reproach to a cherished national faith: for the first time since the Great Depression, the social mobility of Americans is moving in reverse. In every decade from the 1970s on, fewer people have been able to move up the income ladder than in the previous 10 years. Now Americans in their thirties earn 12% less on average than their parents' generation at the same age. Danes, Norwegians, Finns, Canadians, Swedes, Germans, and the French now all enjoy higher rates of upward mobility than Americans. Remarkably, 42% of American men raised in the bottom one-fifth income cohort remain there for life, as compared to 25% in Denmark and 30% in notoriously class-stratified Great Britain.
Eating Our Own
Laments about "the vanishing middle class" have become commonplace, and little wonder. Except for those in the top 10% of the income pyramid, everyone is on the down escalator. The United States now has the highest percentage of low-wage workers—those who earn less than two-thirds of the median wage—of any developed nation. George Carlin once mordantly quipped, "It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." Now, that joke has become our waking reality.
During the "long nineteenth century," wealth and poverty existed side by side. So they do again. In the first instance, when industrial capitalism was being born, it came of age by ingesting what was valuable embedded in pre-capitalist forms of life and labor, including land, animals, human muscle power, tools and talents, know-how, and the ways of organizing and distributing what got produced. Wealth accumulated in the new economy by extinguishing wealth in the older ones.
"Progress" was the result of this economic metabolism. Whatever its stark human and ecological costs, its achievements were also highly visible. America's capacity to sustain a larger and larger population at rising levels of material well-being, education, and health was its global boast for a century and half.
Shocking statistics about life expectancy and social mobility suggest that those days are over. Wealth, great piles of it, is still being generated, and sometimes displayed so ostentatiously that no one could miss it. Technological marvels still amaze. Prosperity exists, though for an ever-shrinking cast of characters. But a new economic metabolism is visibly at work.
For the last 40 years, prosperity, wealth, and "progress" have rested, at least in part, on a grotesque process of auto-cannibalism—it has also been called "dis-accumulation" by David Harvey—of a society that is devouring its own.
Traditional forms of primitive accumulation still exist abroad. Hundreds of millions of former peasants, fisherman, craftspeople, scavengers, herdsmen, tradesmen, ranchers, and peddlers provide the labor power and cheap products that buoy the bottom lines of global manufacturing and retail corporations, as well as banks and agribusinesses. But here in "the homeland," the very profitability and prosperity of privileged sectors of the economy, especially the bloated financial arena, continue to depend on slicing, dicing, and stripping away what was built up over generations.
Once again a new world has been born. This time, it depends on liquidating the assets of the old one or shipping them abroad to reward speculation in "fictitious capital." Rates of US investment in new plants, technology, and research and development began declining during the 1970s, a fall-off that only accelerated in the gilded 1980s. Manufacturing, which accounted for nearly 30% of the economy after the Second World War, had dropped to just over 10% by 2011. Since the turn of the millennium alone, 3.5 million more manufacturing jobs have vanished and 42,000 manufacturing plants were shuttered.
Nor are we simply witnessing the passing away of relics of the nineteenth century. Today, only one American company is among the top ten in the solar power industry and the US accounts for a mere 5.6% of world production of photovoltaic cells. Only GE is among the top ten companies in wind energy. In 2007, a mere 8% of all new semi-conductor plants under construction globally were located in the US Of the 1.2 billion cell phones sold in 2009, none were made in the US The share of semi-conductors, steel, cars, and machine tools made in America has declined precipitously just in the last decade. Much high-end engineering design and R&D work has been offshored. Now, there are more people dealing cards in casinos than running lathes, and almost three times as many security guards as machinists.
The FIRE Next Time
Meanwhile, for more than a quarter of a century the fastest growing part of the economy has been the finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE) sector. Between 1980 and 2005, profits in the financial sector increased by 800%, more than three times the growth in non-financial sectors.
In those years, new creations of financial ingenuity, rare or never seen before, bred like rabbits. In the early 1990s, for example, there were a couple of hundred hedge funds; by 2007, 10,000 of them. A whole new species of mortgage broker roamed the land, supplanting old-style savings and loan or regional banks. Fifty thousand mortgage brokerages employed 400,000 brokers, more than the whole US textile industry. A hedge fund manager put it bluntly, "The money that's made from manufacturing stuff is a pittance in comparison to the amount of money made from shuffling money around."
For too long, these two phenomena—the eviscerating of industry and the supersizing of high finance—have been treated as if they had nothing much to do with each other, but were simply occurring coincidentally.
Here, instead, is the fable we've been offered: Sad as it might be for some workers, towns, cities, and regions, the end of industry is the unfortunate, yet necessary, prelude to a happier future pioneered by "financial engineers." Equipped with the mathematical and technological know-how that can turn money into more money (while bypassing the messiness of producing anything), they are our new wizards of prosperity!
Unfortunately, this uplifting tale rests on a categorical misapprehension. The ascendancy of high finance didn't just replace an industrial heartland in the process of being gutted; it initiated that gutting and then lived off it, particularly during its formative decades. The FIRE sector, that is, not only supplanted industry, but grew at its expense—and at the expense of the high wages it used to pay and the capital that used to flow into it.
Think back to the days of junk bonds, leveraged buy-outs, megamergers and acquisitions, and asset stripping in the 1980s and 1990s. (Think, in fact, of Bain Capital.) What was getting bought and stripped and closed up supported windfall profits in high-interest-paying junk bonds. The stupendous fees and commissions that went to those "engineering" such transactions were being picked from the carcass of a century and a half of American productive capacity. The hollowing out of the United States was well under way long before anyone dreamed up the "fiscal cliff."
For some long time now, our political economy has been driven by investment banks, hedge funds, private equity firms, real estate developers, insurance goliaths, and a whole menagerie of ancillary enterprises that service them. But high times in FIRE land have depended on the downward mobility of working people and the poor, cut adrift from more secure industrial havens and increasingly from the lifelines of public support. They have been living instead in the "pit of austerity." Soon many more of us will join them.

Geneva: 2013 Citroën DS3 Cabrio puts its canvas back
Filed under: Convertible, Geneva Motor Show, Europe, Citroën
The Citroen DS3 Cabrio bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The drophead version of the French hatch retains its five-seat configuration and offers one of the largest cargo areas of any cars in the segment. The convertible uses a folding top akin to that of the diminutive Fiat 500C, wherein the roof rails remain in place while the canvas peels back in neat folds. As a result, the car looks just like its hardtop sibling with top up, and Citroen says buyers will be able to open the roof at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour.
The DS3 Cabrio will be available with three engine options, including an 82-horsepower, 1.2-liter three-cylinder, a 120-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder and a 155-horsepower 1.6-liter four pot. Customers in the UK can expect to shell out 15,045 pounds for the base engine, though prices stretch all the way to 19,675 pounds for the 155-horse variant with no options.

AUGUSTA, Ga. A 10-week program that fits easily into the high school curriculum could give students a lifetime of less anger and lower blood pressure, researchers report.
Health and physical education teachers taught anger and stress management to 86 ninth graders in Augusta, Ga., and found their ability to control anger increased, their anxiety decreased and their blood pressures were generally lower over the course of a day compared to 73 of their peers who received no intervention, according to a study published in the journal Translational Behavioral Medicine.
Among the 30 percent of participants with higher blood pressures, the diastolic measure the bottom number reflecting pressure inside blood vessels when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood decreased about two points, said Dr. Vernon A. Barnes, physiologist at the Institute of Public and Preventive Health at Georgia Health Sciences University.
Even a small downward shift in blood pressure in youth could substantially reduce hypertension risk and related cardiovascular disease risk over the long term and improve public health, the researchers said. The benefits held up at six months.
"We believe we have an effective method that any school could use to help curtail violence and keep adolescents out of trouble with an improved mental state that benefits their physical well-being," Barnes said. Further study is needed to measure the program's impact in hypertensive schoolchildren, he noted.
Escalating anger and violence among youths have been associated with increased levels of stress and anxiety, which in turn increases blood pressure in adolescents, the researcher said. Additionally, self-reported feelings of anger have been shown to predict aggression in youth.
The program taught in 10, 50-minute sessions at two high schools in 2005 and 2006 is protocol-driven, fits easily into the school day and has implications for improved

28 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 25-30 within 20 miles of Los Angeles, CA
east coast girl with a west coast mantra...
I just moved to Denver and am looking to explore my new city and meet some new people. I'm bubbly, outgoing and at times a little sassy and sarcastic. I find the humor in most situations and like to make people laugh and find the fun in things! I'm easily turned off by people who take themselves too seriously or are impressed by menial things. I live a life of substance and meaning, but am not afraid to appreciate the times to be silly and joke around! I look for greatness in everyone and try to see the potential for what each experience can bring. At this stage in my life, I'm looking to meet people who are ambitious and goal oriented. I just signed up for my first half-marathon and am equally as excited about the training than crossing the finish line. I am inspired by people who dare to be different, to speak their minds. I am driven by passion. I think passion is a key element to what makes people unique and interesting - whatever it may be. I'm always looking to find the balance in life. I like to take an active role in taking care of myself - but not depriving myself. That normally translates into being just as happy staying in and being cozy on the couch, eating take-out, as I am getting dressed up for a nice night out on the town! I am not looking for a casual hookup, so save yourself the trouble from emailing me if that's your main objective. Please don't email me one liners or just "hi," originality goes a long way. As far as a relationship goes, I'm not looking for anything that moves too quickly, but am open to the potential of meeting someone and finding a real connection. I can see myself with someone who is aware of his feelings and able to communicate them well and who wants to be real and not play games . I speak my mind and hope you do too. I don't care if you are a self-proclaimed dork or rocket scientist, just make me smile!

From Our Editors
After 20 years spent selling pianos at one of New England's largest keyboard retailers, Jay and Kay Guretsky decided to move to Florida and open their own business in 1991. The couple opened three music shops before moving all of their inventory into their current jumbo-size space, where they earned a reputation as the best place to buy pianos and organs, according to the News-Press readers in 2012. Jay & Kay's Organ & Piano Co. stocks more than 150 instruments, including grand pianos, electric organs, and invisible synths for accompanying prog-rock air guitarists. The shop's instructors lead intensive private lessons and laid-back group sessions that use the Recreational Music Making system. Endorsed by the National Association of Music Merchants, RMM equips students with the skills and self-confidence for recreational playing.

PRLog - May 17, 2012 - ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Despite a very solid children's ministry already in place at Crabapple First Baptist Church, Associate Pastor of Family Ministries Scott Slaughter continually seeks fun and exciting ways to reach kids in the North Georgia community. In 2010, he began making notes about an exceptionally unique vision. He wanted to transform the neutral hallways of the children's wing of Crabapple FBC into something they would see each and every time they walk through the church – a Life-Size Comic Book to make the lessons taught by the Bible come alive for his pint-sized parishioners.
Sneak Peek of Entrance to Crabapple FBC Life Size Comic Book
"I was particularly drawn to this concept not only because I felt it was age-appropriate, but because comic books are so often tied to superheroes,"
The search for an artist who could mirror Slaughter's vision and passion for the project began in earnest in 2011. Crabapple FBC preschool director Amy Mullivain introduced the pastor to local artist Jeanne Matey, an art instructor at Glazed & Fired Art Studio in Cumming. Matey clearly understood the message Slaughter was trying to convey, and by coupling her artistry with her own faith, she ultimately brought Slaughter's two-year vision to reality with the Life-Size Comic Book that now graces the halls of CFB. Work on the murals began in September 2011 including two entryway paintings and six 8x5 foot comic book scenes. Once the painting was completed six months later, an unveiling took place on Sunday, March 25, 2012 to the delight of the families who attend the church.
"I knew it was going to be a challenge based on the sheer size of the mural, but felt a push from a higher power to accept the project," recalls Matey. "It was very rewarding for me both artistically and spiritually. I was honored to use my talent to help the kids of Crabapple First Baptist Church connect to the lessons of the Bible. "
Comprised of a series of highly imaginative scenes, the Life-Size Comic Book at Crabapple FBC follows brother and sister duo – Max and Dawn – on a powerful journey of self discovery through recognizable cityscapes in Atlanta. Brightly colored visuals combined with dialogue bubbles and corresponding Bible references help draw the audience in to the story's meaning.
"Just like many of our children here at CFB, this is only the beginning of Max and Dawn's life journey to faith," explains Slaughter. "Our doors are open to anyone who wishes to peruse the hallways of our Sunday School. We hope the parents of our community will enjoy using the mural as a teaching tool with their children for years to come, and ultimately help them gain a better understanding of the Gospel. We'd love the children to lead the way to multi-generational faithfulness, and be the ones who wake their parents up on Sunday morning and say, 'Let's go to church!'"
Pastor Slaughter is already making notes for new projects to draw families of Crabapple FBC closer to the church, including the next chapter in Max and Dawn's story. Chances are he will be calling on Matey to lend her talents again in the near future. In the meantime, both Slaughter and the kids at the church are looking ahead to "Amazing Wonders" Vacation Bible School on June 4-8 and "The Next Level" Bible learning program featuring Max and Dawn on Wednesday nights, May 23 & 30, and June 13 & 20. Parents who wish to enroll their children in either of these programs are welcome to call the church office at 770-475-6111 or visit the church website at www.crabapplefbc.org for more information.
About Crabapple First Baptist: Established in the late 1800's, Crabapple First Baptist Church has been serving the Milton, Georgia community and beyond through worship, ministry, and mission work for more than 120 years. Led by Senior Pastor Jerry Dockery, Family Pastor Scott Slaughter, Student Pastor Brett Cottrell and Music Pastor Ken Hayes, Crabapple FBC is founded on "totally scriptural, passionately spiritual, and eternally significant"
About Artist Jeanne Matey: In addition to creating original works of art for private and public collections, Southern artist Jeanne Matey is the lead artist and painting instructor at Glazed & Fired – a paint-your-own pottery and art studio in Cumming. She holds her Bachelor of Arts Degree with a studio emphasis from Mercer University in Macon and is an active member of the SawneeArtist Association (SAA). Matey'

Have you ever wondered what it takes to keep the human body healthy or even what to do if you have had a significant injury? I recently sat down with Dr. Rob Pomahac, a former professional hockey player and the founder of MaxHealth, to see just how strenuous it can be to maintain a healthy body especially in the sports world.
Being a former athlete myself, nowhere near the professional ranks however, it's fascinating to know how hard athletes go above and beyond to keep themselves in the best condition possible.
How difficult was it to give up playing professional hockey that you loved so much?
It was really tough. I started playing hockey at the age of six. Growing up in Canada, it's every boy's dream to play in the NHL and play for the cup. My talents brought me to Europe, where I learned a lot about being a professional and realized that my long-term future laid elsewhere. It was by far the hardest decision I had to make. It was even harder because I knew that it was over and that my dreams of one day raising the Stanley Cup would never come true
How did MaxHealth become a vision? Was this an area of expertise and interest before retiring from professional hockey?
I was unlucky enough to spend way too much time in doctor's offices recuperating from hockey injuries. So spending time in Physical Therapy over the years, I learned that health and fitness were an integral part of being able to play hockey at the highest level.
Back when I played, there was no real emphasis on proper offseason training. Weights and sports performance training was something you did on your own. Now it's become common. As I got further along in my medical career, I realized there were a whole array of things athletes were still missing. That's why I formed Max Health, to fit those needs, and helping them improve all facets of their structural, physiological, neurological and muscular systems.
Does MaxHealth currently treat any current athletes at the professional level?
Yes, I work with NFL players while they are in between their off season and the beginning
of training camp. I also work with numerous UFC fighters. Southern California has become a mecca for players to get ahead of their training before they enter their team camps and I've been fortunate enough to have players recommend me to teammates and friends.
Out of all the services provided at MaxHealth which has the highest success rate?
We provide evidence-based chiropractic where we are able to analyze and determine what factors are contributing to your health issues. Measuring physiology doesn't lie. We provide our players with proof that they can visually see and understand. When you are able to provide scientific data and the player is able to comprehend the factors to their problems, they feel empowered to be able to take control of their health and follow body-specific guidelines that will contribute to their overall improvement.
Being an expert on injuries in hockey, how much more damage does playing with existing injuries impact the body's ability to properly heal? I.E. during the Stanley Cup last season Patrice Berergon of the Boston Bruins played with a punctured lung, torn rib cartilage and a separated shoulder, how does that affect his career moving forward?
Hockey is a brutal sport. And there are no free lunches. The continual damage that hockey players get a result of years of playing at such an intense level plays a major factor in how gracefully they age. Physiologically, there is a healing process. And if you don't allow the time for the body to heal properly, then there will be consequential long-term side effects.
The injuries that Patrice sustained over the course of this last season will affect his potential to play at the same level he has grown accustomed to. However, he has the capacity to overcome the affects of his injuries by using alternative forms of health care. Such as acupuncture, massage, chiropractic and making sure that his overall body strength and flexibility are top notch. The more injuries you sustain, the more rehab you need to do. It's all about working smarter and listening more closely to your body.
Speaking of the Stanley Cup, how can one stay healthy after a grueling 82 game season or are the majority of the players playing with some form of injury?
Prevention is the key. Regular therapy is a must for today's NHLer. Making sure that players incorporate a combination of eastern and western philosophies in the new approach to survive the grueling 82 game season. Plus, nutrition is vitally important. Knowing which foods work for your genetic makeup can improve recuperation and reduce inflammation.
It seems each year there are an increasing amount of concussions, groin and hamstring injuries in sports what can be done to limit these kinds of injuries?
A concussion is very similar to a whiplash injury. You have to examine the damage to both the brain and the spine in order to fully treat a concussion. Spinal analysis is key here and many times this part of the concussion treatment is not evaluated. They just evaluate the brain without due diligence to injury the spine may have sustained.
As for hamstring and groin injuries, once again a full body approach is the key. A muscle begins and ends at a bone. And if those bones are not properly aligned, then the muscle will constantly be in an un-natural state of stress, increasing the risk of injury.
What kind of training, the use of different equipment, or other techniques can be used to limit injuries?
Players have to go out of their comfort zone and incorporate different forms of training. But the bottom line is knowing your physiology. Knowing how your structure, nervous and muscle systems all work together. Health is about knowing what is happening inside and then proving the athlete with an individualized plan. Gone are the days of general training programs. At every level, it's not one size fits all, but it especially can't be at the highest levels. Yet, that is still happening. Science and technology need to be incorporated to make sure that the training protocol is the most and effective and efficient it can be. Some teams have really been on the cutting edge of this – you'll see their players will be healthier and fresher over a full season.
After each season players continue their rigorous training to stay in shape is there a specific time-frame that is recommended before preparing for the next season?
It all depends. But there are ways to speed up the healing process. Proper nutrition. Infrared sauna. Cryotherapy. Massage. Acupuncture. Chiropractic. Improving overall body flexibility. Understanding body neutral. Introducing new ways to prepare for the upcoming season need to be addressed. The saying these days is that there is no off-season. And I think players need to make sure that they have an individualized plan to make sure they don't over train.
How long does it take the body to recover from an average season?
There isn't a blanket answer here. Every player goes through different injuries, bumps, Not only do you have to allow your body to heal, but you also need to allow your brain to heal. Emotional, chemical and physical stressors all need to be examined and dealt with before you get back into the swing of things. I would recommend taking your mind and your body off of hockey for at least two weeks. Meditation is a vital part in getting ready for the tough road ahead.
Lastly, now that the Stanley Cup is in full swing any predictions on who will win the Cup?
Well, I'm a Leafs fan…. And I'm not holding by breath. I've been living in LA for over 15 years now. I love how the city and the people have fallen in love with the Kings. It's great to see people who know next to nothing about hockey getting excited and learning about hockey. It helps with the youth movement on the west coast. The Kings have a great organization and core group of players that will make them contenders for a long stretch.
And who doesn't like coach Sutter's interview skills?
Dr. Rob Pomahac is the founder and owner of MaxHealth Centers in Los Angeles. A former professional hockey player and bodybuilder, Rob's practice has attracted dozens of professional athletes. Learn more at www.maxhealthla.com or follow Rob at @DrRob_Maxhealth on Twitter.

The best illustration of the battle lines for the upcoming midterm elections will be on full display Tuesday when the House of Representatives interrupts its vacation to vote on a controversial bill that Democrats say will save jobs and Republicans denounce as more excessive federal spending.
At issue is a controversial $26 billion package that emerged from the Senate last week after House lawmakers had already left for their six-week summer break.
Democrats believe the bill is a much-needed lifeline to help cash-strapped state and local governments save tens of thousands of teacher jobs and pay for medical coverage for the poor.
It includes $10 billion in funding to save teachers' jobs and $16 billion to help states meet their Medicaid payments. Democrats have said the funds would help avert the layoffs of about 140,000 teachers and tens of thousands more first responders.
For Democrats, interrupting their summer recess to rush back to work to avert "massive layoffs" is time well spent because House passage of the bill is the only thing standing in the way of President Obama signing the measure and putting the funds into action.
"Democrats are fighting for the middle class and working to create good-paying jobs here at home and keep America number one around the world," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "We are moving our country forward. And we are not going back to the failed Bush policies that left us with deep deficits, a deep recession, and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression."
But Republicans see the issue from a much different perspective. GOP lawmakers argue that the move is merely another misguided government stimulus to bail out desperate state and local governments.
Even though the bill will not add to the nation's deficit, Republicans are trying to portray Democrats as a group hell-bent on another increase in federal spending at a time when the debt has already spiraled out of control.
With the November midterm elections now three months away, the battle lines have been drawn. Republicans say they are trying to rein in the Democrats' runaway spending. Democrats say they are trying to overcome the GOP's dogged opposition and save U.S. jobs.
So may the best the best man spin ...
"The American people are screaming at the top of their lungs to Washington, 'Stop, stop the spending, stop the job-killing policies,' and yet Democrats in Washington refuse to listen to the American people," top House Republican John Boehner of Ohio said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, countered, "We're coming back because it makes no sense from a jobs perspective, and it makes no sense from the perspective of our children's education, to have an insufficient number of teachers in the classroom. I mean, it's as simple as that."
Van Hollen emphasized on a conference call Friday that the $26 billion package would save close to 300,000 jobs and its costs are offset by budget cuts and closing tax loopholes.
"It's the right thing to do and it's the essential thing to do as we continue to move in this very difficult economy," he said.
