Le Freak brings disco back with Brewster Street Ice House show
CORPUS CHRISTI - Throw on your tallest pair of platform shoes and catch the self proclaimed "world's greatest disco band" Le Freak this weekend.
Le Freak, which will perform Friday at Brewster Street Ice House, promises an eyeful and earful of 1970s flashbacks and fun for the whole family. The show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are available for $10 at the door. Children 10 and younger get in free.
The touring disco tribute bandpreforms hits ranging from "That's the Way I Like It" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band, "How Deep Is Your Love" by The Bee Gees, to "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer. The group offers more than just a concert; it's a full production disco show.
"We try to put as much of a three ring disco circus on a small stage as possible," said Le Freak frontman Mick "Soda" James.
Armed with windmill kicks, spandex leisure suits, and disco hair height, James is the backbone of the group's high energy show.
"We're here to entertain and let you forget your problems," James added.
Fit with band folklore, Le Freak's supposed origin began at a carwash.
"The myth is that all the band members met while working at the carwash, but there's a lot of confusion among us about how we really came to be," James said. "There have been lots of bright lights and smoke over the years, but above all we're four individuals drawn together by the love of disco."
Despite the disco backlash that overtook the radio in the early 1980s, Le Freak bounced back as disco kings and continue to spread the boogie with their live performances.
"The 'disco sucks' campaign put us on the unemployment line for about ten years but my feelings toward the music have never changed. Along with country music, disco is one of the last frontiers of honest pop music. It's fun and even the worst dancers can dance to it which is why it has survived over the years," James said.
Audience participation is highly encouraged at Le Freak shows in the form of sing-a-longs, boogie-downs, and most importantly dressing up.
"The show always works better when people dress up and get in the mood," James said. "We're all about engaging the audience and people seem to let loose when they dress up. Plus being part of the greatest disco band in the world, we've got to look good too."

GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 17: Andrew Ference #21 of the Boston Bruins watches from the bench during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on October 17, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Bruins 4-1. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
NHL players and fans have spent the last few months wondering whether hockey would ever come back. On Sunday morning, after several instances of coming close to a deal only to see it slip away, the NHL and players' association finally reached a tentative agreement that both sides could get behind. While the final details are still being worked out, the agreement was strong enough for celebration to start. The Bruins' Andrew Ference was one of the first to signal that a deal had been made, tweeting a simple thumbs up in the early-morning hours (5:02 a.m. ET).

Just The Tip – Don't Starve
I like hard games. I like games that just throw you in the deep end and allow you to experiment and explore until you become an expert, or until you are totally frustrated. Don't Starve from Klei Entertainment is hard, it is charming, and it is an absolute delight to play.
This point-and-click survival horror game looks like it was spewed out from the inner recesses of Tim Burton's mind, which is certainly a good thing. Players fill the role of Wilson, a scientific man who is placed into this crazy world. The basic objective is this: scavenge for supplies during the day, build a fire and survive the night.
Simple enough right? Collecting an assortment of supplies, crafting traps and tools to make life easier, and figuring out where to go next is what makes Don't Starve so much fun.
Watch live video from pixelsforbreakfast on TwitchTV
They mostly come out at night…..mostly.
Once nightfall is upon you, the monsters will be out and about. Creeping around in the dark is never a good idea, but sometimes you'll need to in order to get some supplies, or even find some items that are only available at night. It's a risk and reward system that is ultimately fun and exciting.
Don't Starve also demands you put time and effort into scientific duties. Building a science machine and researching new items is a core element to what makes the game so exciting, and gives you a sense of purpose as you literally destroy the world and its resources.
While you're scavenging for supplies, you will also need to make sure you plant new trees and create a sustainable environment. It's a cool mechanic, something that simply adds to the experience.
Watch live video from pixelsforbreakfast on TwitchTV
Don't Starve looks set to be another breakaway hit for Klei Entertainment. It's wonderous world, dark art style and subtle humour makes it a blast to play. Crafting new items and researching the world is what keeps you coming back for more, and the looming reminder that permadeath could be around every corner makes every move you take feel like it could be your last.
You can pick it up now from this link, which saves you 20%. You also get access to the beta right now, and a second copy to gift to a friend. The full version comes out in April.

been thinking of adding some better dust collection to the school. i dont know if i want to push the school to buy a big unit that would involve duct work ect.... or if i want to just get several smaller 1hp dust collectors.
1hp unit unit for router,jointer and planer.
1hp unit for 2 large belt sanders and palm sanding station
1hp unit for 2 band saws radial arm saw
1 hp unit for sliding miter saw and drill press
i priced some local porter cable dust collectors that was 150 dollers each
or i can buy a 4-5hp dust collector for all my machines......
the shop length is 95 feet with 10 average machines and we can aften have 3-4 machines going at once.
what we have now is a 1hp unit that is spread out over too large a space with a couple shop vacs to help out as we need them.
would it be just as usefull to have several dust collectors spread out to different sections of the shop or should we invest in a unit that can suck dust from the entire shop?
honestly not shure that i cans swing a big unit so what kind of comparison will i have with several small units to a big one?

Fever: A Novel (original 2013; edition 2013)
by Mary B Keane
Work details
Fever by Mary B Keane (2013)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A few years ago, I read Anthony Bourdain's biography of "Typhoid Mary," an Irish immigrant cook who unknowingly started an epidemic in early twentieth-century New York. Fever also focuses on Mary Mallon, but, being fiction, it gives her character more depth and creates empathy for the way she was hounded, isolated,villainized, and humiliated. Kean's story's antagonist is a Dr. Soper, the researcher who tracked down Mary as a healthy typhoid carrier and determined that the bacilli were passed on through her cooking. Never having been ill herself, Mary finds it hard to believe that she could be the source of the disease that had killed two of her employers' children and several others and had sickened a number of her coworkers. But in quieter moments, she ponders all the deaths she had attended in Ireland and on the ship crossing the Atlantic, and the death of an employer's toddler whom she had grown to love.
Kean covers Mary's forcible arrest and hospitalization, her exile to an island hospital for consumptives, her suit to be allowed to return to a relatively normal life--as long as she promises never again to work as a cook. She also provides a colorful yet sympathetic portrait of life for the working class in New York, ca. 1900-25. And then there is Mary's complicated relationship with Alfred, her German lover, with whom she has lived since the age of seventeen. I found this novel well written and engaging and recommend it to those interested in historical fiction of this period.
Mary Mallon, Typhoid Mary of history books, came alive in this novel - I have no idea of which parts of the book were true, but this woman's life was at times interesting, sad, painful and thought provoking. To be shunned and kept from the passions of her life because she was a carrier of typhoid at a time when science was just beginning to understand that one could be healthy and still infect others must have been a nightmare - for a brief time we live that nightmare with her and can almost understand why she continued to put others in danger -
I didn't love this book, but did feel a connection with Mary and feel that the author created a credible character - how much her Mary was based on the life of the woman who experienced this remains a mystery.
I have heard a lot of promising thing about the book. Its about Typhoid Mary(!) and I always read articles about her and I enjoy dramatization of actual people related to medical science. But, I'm plain disappointed by this book. It was a romanticized life of Mary Mallon although a bit dull and dreary but the main focus of this book wasn't a good representative of her situation. In fact, the attempt to humanize Mary and demonized the doctors involved pretty much reduced the the narrative value of the story.
Compared to "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks", Rebecca Skloot had a better understanding as she is scientifically-educated and able to give a greater understanding of the complications revolving the HeLa controversies at it added layers of depth about the complexities of the issues in addition to that she was involved with the Lacks family and the book was realistic enough to be considered as non-fictional. She also explore the problem through several lenses and one of it, definitely not romanticizing the situation. But Keane only offer a plain fictionalization of the era, she skim about the significance of Mary among the scientific society because narratively the story only spin about what the character felt when she was being demonized by the public health society and she is but in turn the book play around the romanticized history around the character and the settings rather than going in depth about it.
Plus, she did cause these deaths by her ignorance and cause more deaths because she persist in her ignorance although she was informed first hand of her role as a Typhoid carrier. Rather than explore various characterization which stem from her nurtured way of thoughts and upbringing that perhaps it can give a sense of depthness to her as a realistic flawed human being. The book seem to be preoccupied in spending its time exploring the romantic elements of Mary Mallon.
Mary Mallon is a scientific enigma of her time and that was as interesting as the depth of her characterizations but I felt the book overplayed the emotional part of her character and it was extremely diverting. I also studied pastry and bakery for a year and from that experience, there was a lot of literary elements you could do to give more flair to Mary's characterization. There was no culinary passion in this Mary. The book skim on that integral part that made me understand why Mary still continue on with her food service. I don't feel it clicked to me that she only did all of it to be stubborn and opinionated because that was too one dimensional to describe this once living woman. The book didn't make me feel Mary was a good cook either. In fact, the book did poorly on her motives to continuously feed people. I don't think it was that simplistic need to feed people. She could have work as a grocery store if she was that altruistic. Cooking itself need some artistic skills and also require a scientific one too. You have to learn the right way to cook, the subjective taste and the talents in need. The book made Mary's cooking ability as dull like she's a food processor. Mary is a smart and independent woman and if she had the right education, she would be a marvelous woman of science herself or even a chemist because personally, food science is a legit science itself. If you know how to cook, you're scientifically talented as it is. How I know about this? My late grandmother is similar to her in some ways. She had struggled and life is bad and turbulent in Singapore at that time, she also make bad decisions with her love life and she's a good cook and gave birth to kids who end up being smart and also a scientists and great cook too. I know perfectly well how this situation could have been played in real life and I do sympathize with Mallon and wish things could play out different for her.
Mary Mallon was smarter than this book did on her. It tried to reason around her behaviours but always fall into being portrayed as "emotionally driven". I still don't feel the book was right about her motivation to continue to cook.
I get that this book employ literary methods from someone with mostly literary background and can be appreciated by those without scientific background surrounded with the Typhoid Mary issue. But Mary Mallon is a person of significance in science because of her existence that touched all expect of medical issues, epidemiology and human rights. Keane could have done the book better if she discuss this expect more with the world Mary lived in rather than the geographical era accuracy about the fashion, culture and era-specific attitudes. The book could have been better for me if it played about humanizing all the characters more rather than attempting to make Mary as a sympathetic character. I did note that the book didn't come with its own references so it does made it hard to know which part is real or not. In the end, its still a historical fiction that didn't make much an impact to me when it should.
And in the end, I didn't think the author even understand what a Salmonella really is.
She was an Irish immigrant at the turn of the century, leaving behind a certain future ( or lack therof) for an uncertain one filled with hopes and a dream or two. Her name was Mary Mallon and she was in her 20's. But history has given this woman another name, a rather derogatory name, for she is better known to us all as Typhoid Mary.
Not sure how readers can possibly say anything negative .... this isn't a bio after all, it's a novel. And through her words Keane has taken a character from the flat pages of historical ridicule to being a full-fledged, likable, intelligent , woman with an incredible culinary talent. She had a distinct personality and an independence that went against the strictures of the time.
But Mary was a healthy carrier of a killer disease. When eventually she attained the position of head cook in upper crust households, people were infected through her delectable dishes. Yes it took time to tie the deaths to her, and due to the fact that she herself was not ill, she fought the truth.
We meet George Soper who pushed to have her unfairly isolated for years on an island. We meet Alfred, her love, who does her wrong in a big way yet their connection remained.... We meet different characters and we imagine ourselves... what would WE have done... in her peculiar spot in life.
But most importantly i feel that this Keanes book makes a social statement on a few different levels. Times change, time marches forward, but some things remain the same.....
Fever is a fictionalized account of the real-life "Typhoid Mary", who was the first known healthy human carrier of typhoid. She was a cook in New York City in the early 1900s and transmitted the disease through her cooking. Because she refused to stop cooking, she was held in quarantine for the majority of her adult life.
The novel is very well written and makes Mary feel human and real. In the book she is a sympathetic character who is treated harshly in part because of her class - the doctors make little effort to really help her understand the risk when she cooks, and instead lock her up. She of course rebels since she doesn't fully understand and is not willing to accept that she could make people sick. Keane conveys her confusion and reactions to the accusations that she is transmitting typhoid in a realistic and believable manner.
Additionally, Keane adds a love story element. She portrays a complex and troubled relationship between Mary and her long-time lover (but not husband). One that thing I really enjoy about Keane's writing is that all of her characters are complex and three-dimensional, with the result that they are sympathetic while also sometimes making poor choices.
In the end, though, I did not love Fever as much as I did Keane's first book, The Walking People. I never felt as wholly drawn into the world as I did with her first book. Additionally the storyline was more linear and simpler, and overall the book was a bit depressing.
Keane evokes the atmosphere of the bustling and booming New York of the time to life as she details both Mary's day-to-day life and the work of "sanitation engineer" Dr. George Soper, who uses basic detective work and the scientific method to trace the infections back to her. It's this "one-two punch" the makes the novel so compelling.

No descriptions found.
On the eve of the twentieth century, Mary Mallon emigrated from Ireland at age fifteen to make her way in New York City. Brave, headstrong, and dreaming of being a cook, she fought to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic-service ladder. Canny and enterprising, she worked her way to the kitchen, and discovered in herself the true talent of a chef. Sought after by New York aristocracy, and with an independence rare for a woman of the time, she seemed to have achieved the life she'd aimed for when she arrived in Castle Garden. Then one determined "medical engineer" noticed that she left a trail of disease wherever she cooked, and identified her as an "asymptomatic carrier" of Typhoid Fever. With this seemingly preposterous theory, he made Mallon a hunted woman.… (more)

Someone who drinks excessive amounts of alcohol, mainly vodka, and gets so drunk they end up blacking out and puking at some point. During this trance, a doll may dance dirty, lose their drinks, buy more alcohol after getting theirs taken away, stumble home, run friends into the wall, talk to trash cans and express their feelings to them, runs to the toilet/trash can to puke guts out and eventually passes out. The next morning they must down a bunch of mountain dew to get rehydrated and feel sick the rest of the day.

RENTERS INSURANCE Reprinted with permission of the Insurance Information Institute. What if you came home from work only to find your apartment had been totally trashed by a burglar? Or what if you walked into your living room and found yourself standing in a 3-inch flood of water? Well, if you think it's not a major problem because your landlord will foot the bill, YOU'RE WRONG. Your landlord's insurance does NOT cover your personal property. Things like your clothes, stereo, furniture, television, bicycle, jewelry, personal computer, artwork and other items are not covered by your landlord's insurance against destruction or loss. As sorry as your landlord may be about the 3 inches of water in your living room or your stolen stereo, you're the one who'll have to buy a new couch and stereo system, not him. But renters insurance covers your stuff and: • protects you against losses from fire or smoke, lightning, vandalism, theft, explosion, windstorm, and water damage from plumbing. • covers your responsibility to other people injured at your home or elsewhere by you, a family member or your pet and includes legal defense costs if you are taken to court. COMMON QUESTIONS Q. Does renters insurance cover all my stuff? A. It depends. Some things like jewelry and computers often have a per- category limit (for example, some policies have a $5,000 limit for computers). For these things you may want to buy a floater. This provides additional coverage for specific items not included in your basic policy. Q. If I file a claim, will my policy be canceled? A. If you didn't cause the loss or damage, your insurance shouldn't be affected. If you were at fault--if you caused a fire by smoking in bed for example--the insurance company might consider this when setting the price for your next policy. Q. Is my stuff covered away from home? A. Yes, but coverage amounts vary from 10% of your personal property coverage to the full value. Q. As a student, am I covered by my parents' policy? A. If you're in college, are under 26, and your parents have a homeowners or renters insurance policy, their insurance might give you limited coverage in the dorm, but not if you live in an apartment. Q. Can I purchase a renters policy with my roommates? A. Yes, but the regulations might be different from state to state, and the policies might also be different from company to company. Find out what regulations apply in your state and then shop around to find an insurance company that can help your situation. Each roommate's name should be included on the policy. Q. What about unmarried couples? A. Some insurance companies now allow unmarried couples who have been living together to obtain joint coverage, rather than two separate policies. Each person's name should appear on the policy. Q. What happens if my rented or borrowed items are stolen? A. Items that are "in your possession" are covered under a standard renter's policy. Q. What if my insurance company doesn't respond to a claim? A. Your state insurance department or local consumer protection office can answer questions on filing claims and also take complaints. Q. Is my bike or car covered by renters insurance? A. Your bike is covered, but vehicles aren't. You need to get a separate auto insurance policy to protect your car, van or motorcycle. HOW DO YOU BUY RENTERS INSURANCE? 1. Take An Inventory: Make a list of everything in your apartment. Record model numbers, serial numbers, date of purchase and price of item. Take photographs or make a video of these items. Give one inventory to your insurance agent and keep another for yourself. Keep your inventory and visual record of your things outside of the apartment, maybe in a safety deposit box or at the office. 2. Ask About: Theft Limits. For example, most renters policies have a $1,000 total limit on jewelry that is stolen, a $3,000 - $10,000 limit for computers. Ask for a list of standard coverage limits so you know whether you'll need to get additional coverage for some of your stuff. Cash or Replacement Value. Your policy can insure your stuff in one of two ways--either for the cash value or the replacement cost. Cash value coverage takes into account the age and condition of items at the time of damage or loss. You would be reimbursed for the value of the item minus depreciation. Replacement value pays today's cost for an item of similar kind or quality. Deductible Options. Find out about the deductible or your out-of-pocket cost. Keep in mind that raising your deductible will usually lower your premium. 3. Discounts: Insurance companies frequently offer discounts to their auto policyholders interested in buying a renters policy from them. You can also get discounts if your apartment or home has a security system, smoke detectors, or deadbolt locks. More discounts might be available depending on your age or whether you're a non-smoker. 4. Shop Around: Look on the Internet, ask friends or relatives or flip through the yellow pages to find the agent that is right for you. Call a variety of insurance companies and agents and ask a lot of questions. Keep your inventory handy, so you can find the amount of coverage that is most appropriate for you. $16,000 is usually the smallest amount of coverage you can get. 5. Review Your Policy. Review your policy with your insurance professional so that you understand what's covered. For example, flooding is not a covered peril in a renters insurance policy. However, if you live in a flood prone area, you may want to consider purchasing a flood insurance policy.

Baltimore Ravens WR Jacoby Jones made quite a few people happy during last night's Super Bowl 47 when he raced up the middle 108 yards for a touchdown to start the second half of the game. A local furniture company in Baltimore called Gardiners Furniture offered customers free furniture if a Raven had a kick return during the Super Bowl. They said any furniture that was purchased with a signed sales receipt between Jan. 31 and 3 p.m. on game day would be free. Can you imagine the excitement when that happened, "That was amazing!" the store posted on its Facebook page shortly after the Jones touchdown. "Furniture is FREE! If you made a purchase this weekend, it's your lucky day. Go Ravens!" This is the third year the store has run such a promotion. Since such a kick return hasn't happened in nearly 50 years, Lehrl said, the store owners figured they were pretty safe. But they took out an insurance policy — just in case. This year, she said, they'll be giving out $600,000 of free...

Tied for Finest Certified
How well does the 1927 double eagle match the first criterion, that of availability? In a word, magnificently. Between NGC and PCGS, well over a quarter-million examples have been certified, a testament to the coin's current availability. Such was not always the case, though, as the vast majority of the known 1927 double eagles once were locked away in overseas storage, and repatriation from Europe is the greatest known source of the coins. An examination of pre-1960 auction listings is instructive; the earliest auction record in the David Akers United States Gold Coins reference, the 1941 Dunham Collection sold by B. Max Mehl, is listed in the catalog as "very scarce," and Stack's used an identical phrase to describe the issue in 1944 for the J.F. Bell auction catalog. The impact of 1960s repatriation is especially noticeable in the auction records compiled by Akers: The trickle of auction appearances in the 1940s and 1950s, fewer than one a year for each decade, turns into a steady stream through the 1960s and then a torrent in the 1970s.
As for the second criterion, attractiveness, the 1927 once again comes out a winner. In Heritage's offering of another great collection of Saint-Gaudens twenties, the Phillip H. Morse Collection of Saint-Gaudens Coinage, the cataloger wrote that "examples of the 1927 double eagle are invariably sharply struck, with bright mint frost or smooth satiny surfaces." The two luster qualities are prized, each in their own way, while the sharpness of strike meets more universal acclaim. Akers writes: "Only the collector searching for a 'wonder' coin, i.e. a near perfect specimen, will encounter any difficulty locating a 1927 to his or her liking."
With one glance at this magnificent MS67 coin, it is obvious that Dr. Duckor did a great deal of searching in finding just the right coin, choosing the best of five examples from the Phillip H. Morse Collection. Superb Gems are, if it can be imagined, genuine condition rarities; PCGS has certified only a baker's dozen (10/11). This gleaming coin embodies quality, from the stark cartwheel luster rolling across each side to the orange colors splashed through the centers of otherwise pale yellow surfaces. The coin has only two interior flaws worth mentioning, a tiny mark on Liberty's raised knee and another below the N of IN on the sun disk; these permit identification with the Morse coin. An ideal selection as either a bedrock type coin or, as in its last two collection appearances, an example that makes a commonplace date extraordinary.
Ex: The Phillip H. Morse Collection of Saint-Gaudens Coinage (Heritage, 11/2005), lot 6692, which realized $18,400.

Nuclear Waste Repository In Nevada Suffers Setback
Published: July 10, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
Over the long term, rainwater percolating through the mountain and then flowing underground to wells is the most likely way that the public would be exposed. Because nuclear waste breaks down over time, eventually becoming harmless, predicting doses requires calculating the rate at which different radioactive materials will decay and how fast each would flow through the dirt.
Nuclear materials are measured according to their ''half life,'' or the time it takes for half the radiation to die away. Half lives for the isotopes reaching Yucca vary from decades to millions of years, time periods that the judges called ''beyond human comprehension.''
The decision also gave Nevada the right to challenge the Environmental Impact Statement done by the Energy Department. Nevada wants to argue that the department gave insufficient attention to one of the alternatives, leaving the waste where it is, mostly in the spent fuel pools of nuclear reactors or in concrete casks nearby. Nevada also wants to challenge government estimates of the environmental impact of transporting the waste.
At the very least, the decision makes it even less likely that the Energy Department can stick to its schedule of 2010 to begin accepting waste at the site, on the edge of the Nevada Test Site northwest of Las Vegas, where the department and its predecessor agencies tested nuclear bombs for decades. The department was planning to file an application for a license later this year, with another agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which is supposed to make a licensing decision using standards set by the E.P.A. The commission expected to begin hearings next spring, but the E.P.A. has been told to rewrite the rule.
The E.P.A. said when it set the 10,000 year standard that this was consistent with rules on other kinds of hazardous materials. It also said that anything longer would bring in factors that were hard to account for, like climate change that would make the Nevada desert much wetter.
But with the demise of the 10,000-year standard, a lawyer for Nevada, Joseph Egan, said, ''As a practical matter, that means the licensing proceeding is completely on hold.''
Even before Friday's decision, the 2010 date was regarded by people in the nuclear industry as highly suspect, because of the unprecedented nature of the legal proceedings that would be required before the commission could grant a license.
The $9 billion already spent by the Energy Department on the project has mostly been collected from nuclear utilities, which signed contracts to pay for waste disposal and the department faces lawsuits that may seek hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for the failure to keep its end of the deal.
Joseph Davis, a spokesman for the department, said that program managers would evaluate the impact of the decision on the schedule. Nuclear power plant operators have avoided any short-term problem by installing steel-and-concrete casks to hold the waste, a solution likely to last for decades at least. The military waste that has been solidified in preparation for burial at Yucca is also stored in a form that would be suitable for decades as well.

Bon Jovi Blew It Passing On Atlanta Falcons
Mike Ozanian, Forbes Staff
Traffic cop at the intersection of money and sports
Jon Bon Jovi blew it.
In February, 2011 the rocker was going to invest $150 million for a 15% stake in the Atlanta Falcons. A month later, the NFL lockout hit and Bon Jovi changed his mind because he felt the work stoppage would reduce the $1 billion valuation his investment placed on the Falcons, according to a person familiar with the situation.
But in July of that year, the players and owners agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement. The 10-year deal made team values go up because it reduced the percentage of league revenues that went towards player salaries, and the guarantee of long-term labor peace made it easier for the owners to get new broadcasting deals with ESPN , NBC, Fox and CBS CBS -0.61% beginning in 2014 that are over 60% richer than the league's current rights fees.
As for the Falcons specifically, controlling owner Arthur Blank got closer to getting the funds for a new stadium Tuesday when NFL owners voted to provide his team with $200 million in league funding. The city of Atlanta, state of Georgia, Georgia World Congress Center & Atlanta Falcons have agreed to build a retractable-roof stadium, with a potential cost of around $1 billion, on the GWCCA campus in time for the 2017 NFL season.
We most recently valued the Falcons at $837 million, 28th out of the league's 32 teams. The Falcons are also in the bottom-fifth of the league in revenue ($239 million) thanks to playing in the antiquated Georgia Dome. The new, $1 billion stadium will boost the value of the team due to more revenue from premium seating and sponsorships. But without a final lease agreement it is impossible to determine what the precise increase in revenue and value will be for the Falcons.
As a guide, consider that a year ago, James Haslam agreed to pay Randy Lerner $1.1 billion for the Cleveland Browns–paying 70% of the purchase price immediately and 30% in three years. The present value of the future payment valued the team at $987 million. Atlanta is much bigger market than Cleveland and will have a state-0f-the art stadium, so it is hard to see how the Falcons could be worth less than $1.1 billion once the stadium is a done deal.
But Bon Jovi will likely only profit from the new stadium by performing during halftime of a Super Bowl.

Years ago I visited the Scott Arboretum to learn about alternatives to lawn and see the ones they were growing there. (Here's my 2008 report.) Last month I returned for another event but made time to revisit their lawn-alt plants, too. (Wonder if we can get that term to stick.)
First, the Prairie Dropseed shown above, which my friends at the U.Maryland asked me to inquire about. They want to know if the Scott Arboretum burns it and horticulturist Chuck Hinkle answered, "We burn the sporobolis beds in late winter when the students are on break. The nice thing about it is that it can be done relatively quickly. The grass doesn't create a huge conflagration (like miscanthus!) and can be controlled easier." I'll pass that along, though a non-fire answer was hoped-for (U.Md. isn't allowed to burn.)
But it's Carexes I was most interested in checking on. That's the huge genus, commonly named sedge, that's so promising as alternatives to lawn in spots that aren't walked on. At Scott they've been growing a wide assortment of them, many of them donated by New Moon Nursery, whose owner James Brown "has been very generous and is trying to promote the use of lawn alternatives," quoting Chuck.
Above, Carex pensylvanica looking horrible. Here's Chuck's explanation: "The Carex pensylvanica did very well for the first few years. However, as the site became shadier under the maple trees, the plants became thinner. I tried replanting the bare spots but there just wasn't enough light for them to thrive. So even though they say C. pensylvanica takes shade, I would not recommend it for full shade. You can see areas in the same bed where it gets more light and is more vigorous."
Below, looking much better.
Above, C. laxiculumus 'Bunny Blue' also seems sparse. Chuck wrote that it "also started out pretty well. It started to thin out when I interplanted it with Solidago caesia. Again, I think some of the plants got shaded out. I also heard that some goldenrods are alleopathic so I don't know if that had anything to do with it."
Above, C. platyphylla. "The same thing happened with C.platyphylla. It was doing fine until I interplanted it with Allium cernuum."
Above, C. albicans. "Carex albicans has been one of the best performers for doing well in a variety of sites – sun/shade,dry/moist," says Chuck.
Above, the C. texensis looked pretty sparce to me. Chuck says it's "done well in a drier,sunnier spot. The habit looks a little messy – it flops but has a flat look to it. It self-sows as well."
Above, C. appalachia.
Overall, Chuck reports that "The growth habits of different species vary greatly. Some of the small clumpers definitely take more time to fill in. C.appalachica,C.eburnea,and C.rosea are slower to fill in. C.sprengellii,C. brevior and C.amphibola filled in very quickly. C. woodii has done well in part shade. It does not like extended dry periods, though."
And, "Our infiltration beds using carex have generated some interest. We plan on expanding them."
Two more of my favorites below.
Above, C. leavenworthii.
Above, C. morrowii 'Silk Tassel.'
After reading a comment on an identical post on GardenRant about Carexes and shade, I've added two more photos of great Carexes for shade, and will ask Chuck to weigh in on his top recommendations, too. It's a great group of plants for shade, but some are better than others. (To read that and other helpful comments on this subject, click on that link to GardenRant.)
C. morrowii 'Ice Dance' is evergreen, can take sun or shade, is variegated so lights up dark spots, and fills out fast enough to produce plenty of divisions (without spreading thuggishly with runners).
Above, I've grown this taller Carex for 25+ years and though I don't know the name, I recommend looking into it. Evergreen, about 3′ tall, no care required after it's settled in. Actually, all the Carexes I've grown require careful watering after being moved (and preferably not when it's hot) because their roots aren't as vigorous as, say, Liriope, which can tolerate any amount of abuse. But at least in their second year in a spot, they've required supplemental watering very rarely.
Thanks to Chuck and the Scott Arboretum for their work in trialing and publicizing this important group of plants as lawn alternatives. Posted by Susan Harris.

After four consecutive losing seasons, there's an unmistakable sense of
urgency to win right now at Washington, a program saddled with lagging
interest and too many empty seats in Husky Stadium. If, however, things
are going to turn around, it'll require all the young players in a
lineup littered with underclassmen throughout the two-deep, to grow up
in a big hurry. That's not a plus in the solid Pac 10.
The face of the Huskies, QB Jake Locker, is only a sophomore, and
freshmen will be needed to bolster the depth on both lines and at wide
receiver, where five seniors were lost from last year's 4-9 team that,
even with a little bit of experience, struggled to close out games. It
figures to be a precarious position for Tyrone Willingham, who no longer
has AD Todd Turner in his corner, and who'll be leaning on a slew of
untested players to fortify his tenuous job security.
On the flip side, if there can be just a little more patience, which
won't be easy to provide considering the time Willingham has already had
to try to resuscitate the former powerhouse. It has been five years
since the last winning season, 2000 was the last bowl victory, the Rose
Bowl win over Purdue, and seemingly eons since UW was a true player in
the national title hunt.
To remember just how disappointing the last four years have been,
Washington went from to 1977 to 2003 without a losing season.
Unfortunately, it might take a few minor miracles to break the current
streak of futility.
With so much at stake this season for the direction of the program, and
Willingham's career, it's the worst possible time to be reshuffling the
depth chart while inserting a bunch of new starters into the lineup.
Unfortunately, there's no other choice. Unless Locker can hoist the
entire team on his shoulders, an unlikely scenario, the Huskies are
staring down the barrel of another disappointing, sub-.500
What to watch for on offense: True freshman WR Chris Polk. How
good is Polk? Good enough that USC had to have him. Good enough that
coordinator Tim Lappano is searching for new ways to design the offense.
Polk is the kind of playmaker the Huskies haven't had for years, a
versatile athlete who'll be used plenty as a runner and a receiver. In
other programs, he might spend a year on the scout team, getting a
little bigger and a lot wiser. At Washington, however, players of Polk's
caliber have to be prepared to take off the training wheels shortly
after arriving on campus.
What to watch for on defense: The evolution of the secondary.
While the Huskies are loaded with veterans and quality athletes, that's
hardly enough to begin predicting a turnaround for the leaky pass
defense. Washington's response to its struggles has been to shift
Mesphin Forrester from strong safety to cornerback, slide Darin Harris
over from free safety, and promote talented neophytes Nate Williams and
Quinton Richardson into starting role. The defense is noticeably bigger,
but will it be better at stopping opposing quarterbacks? It'll have to
be if the overall defense is going to improve.
The team will be far better if… it learns how to win a few more
close games. Five of last year's nine losses were by a touchdown or
less, including a pair to teams, USC and Hawaii, that went on to play in
BCS bowl games. If the young Huskies can
mature in a hurry and stop blowing games in the second half, it could be
the difference between a .500 season and a sixth consecutive bowl-less
On the plus side, the Huskies only have to leave the state of Washington
twice for three months, but that's about the only real break. The non-conference games against BYU,
Oklahoma and Notre Dame are in Seattle, but the Cougars are loaded, the
Sooners will be in the national title hunt, and the Irish will be
better. Oh yeah, and the season kicks off with a Pac 10 killer at
Oregon. The Huskies have five league road games to deal with playing at
Washington State and at California wrapped around an off week. There are
plenty of breaks to stay relatively fresh throughout.
Best offensive player:
Sophomore QB Jake Locker. While his freshman season was predictably
sporadic, Locker showed enough in 2007 to be labeled the Husky savior. A
powerful runner and emotional leader, he fell just 14 yards shy of
becoming the first Pac-10 quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a
season. A possible Heisman contender, if everything goes right, Locker
will be borderline unstoppable if he can make the necessary growth as a
Best defensive player: Junior DE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim. Don't tell
Husky fans that Te'o-Nesheim doesn't possess the size or speed of some
of the nation's elite pass rushers. All that matters to Washington is
that the junior produces results and plays harder than just about anyone
in the league. In his second season as a starter, he led all linemen
with 57 tackles and all Huskies with 15 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.
Key player to a successful season: Sophomore C Matt Sedillo.
Sedillo was scheduled to enter the starting lineup in 2009, but that was
before Juan Garcia suffered a debilitating injury in the spring. Now the
sophomore will be thrust into the huddle and asked to coordinate a line
lacking consistency, especially in pass protection. If Sedillo can't
deliver and take on a leadership role, it's going to reverberate
throughout the Washington offense.
The season will be a success if ... the Huskies can reach .500. A
bowl game would be fantastic, but it would also be a reach considering
the question marks that dominate everywhere but at quarterback and
linebacker. Plus, Washington will probably spend the last two months of
the year trying to dig out of a hole after opening the season with
Oregon, BYU, and Oklahoma.
Key game:
Oct. 25 vs. Notre Dame. With a large TV audience in attendance, there'll
be sub plots galore on this Saturday night. It'll be a big game for the
program. It'll be an even bigger game for the coach. The Huskies might
be 2-4 by this point, which means the Willingham death watch will be in
full bloom. If Washington loses, forget about the postseason. If
Washington wins, it could be the springboard needed to land a bowl

Operating Systems
Kanotix v2005-04
Just before the clock struck midnight on December 31, the German developers of Kanotix released their v2005-04 Linux build. Contained in this release is the Linux kernel 22.214.171.124, X.Org 6.8.2 (with support for X.Org 6.9), KDE 3.4.3, and a wealth of other updates, patches, and new implementations. However, what has everyone talking about Kanotix is its superb hardware detection and auto-configuration abilities on all sorts of i686 and x86_64 hardware for being a LiveCD with HDD installer support. Being Linux-based hardware connoisseurs we couldn't help but to take Kanotix v2005-04 for a test drive.
4 January 2006
BeleniX LiveCD v0.3
For your viewing pleasure today we took a look at BeleniX v0.3, which is based upon OpenSolaris and mutated into a LiveCD. This latest release includes a new hdinstaller utility and miscellaneous other enhancements. GtK+ v2.8.6 managed to make its way into this release as well as Xfce v4.2.3 and v6.9 CVS of Xorg, which 7.0/6.9.0 were finally released recently after no major release in over a decade. BeleniX is a growing distribution that certainly has possibilities and is our focus of attention today.
30 December 2005
MediainLinux v4.0 RC5
MediainLinux, a Linux distribution formed in Italy and based upon the popular Knoppix, is different from other LiveCDs as it aims to offer a wide collection of FOSS audio, video, and graphics software. With this multimedia software MediainLinux Version 4 RC5, which was released on Christmas of this year, shapes up to be a enticing GNOME-optimized distribution.
28 December 2005
Customizing Fedora 4
With the number of fresh Linux installs we perform on a weekly basis with a variety of hardware, simply using the stock install CDs have become a sizable task due to the number of FOSS updates available on a daily basis. In fact, alone on Red Hat's servers and mirrors are over 839 updates just for the FC4 i386 architecture! Although the Red Hat Up2date process is relatively easy to perform the process can be quite time consuming even with an Up2date server running on the LAN. To fix the updating issue, as well as to provide a few other Phoronix additions, we have begun to re-master the Fedora Core 4 (Stentz) build. We share a few steps to the re-mastering process today in this guide.
17 December 2005
Ark Linux v2005.2
Ark Linux, an easy-to-use distribution designed for the novice alternative OS users, has unveiled its latest major version that is 2005.2. Bundled into the single CD distribution is KDE 3.5, and OpenOffice 2.0 along with improved ATI 3D hardware support and most notably the inclusion of Ndiswrapper emulation layer to utilize unsupported wireless cards under Linux with the use of Windows drivers. In addition, Ark Linux 2005.2 features a long list of other significant changes.
11 December 2005
Helix v1.7
Helix, a Linux distribution made by e-Fense and designed for incident response and computer forensics analysis has released their version 1.7. Bundled in this latest Knoppix-based distribution is a revamped GUI, as addition to its bootable capabilities it offers a few utilities that can be accessed when already in side of Microsoft Windows, while the Linux portion of the distribution itself has been updates to the 2.6.14 kernel with numerous other enhancements. Some of the mother miscellaneous packages include Autopsy v2.06, Sleuthkith v2.03, ClamAV v0.87.1-1, and EnCase Linen.
8 December 2005
LFS LiveCD x86-6.1.1
Linux From Scratch, a Linux distribution that lives by the quote "Your Distro. Your Rules." through allowing its users to create their very own custom Linux system based upon their LFS builds and using their step-by-step instructions in their numerous books. Released recently from the LFS community has been version 6.1.1, which largely consists of fixes since the v6.1 release. Part of this release is the new x86-6.1.1 LiveCD with some of the new features being the XFce Terminal improvements, jhalfs 0.2, rsync, sudo, and wireless_tools.
5 December 2005
Nonux v2.0
Nonux, a Slackware-based distribution basically keeping its residence to the Netherlands and other Dutch communities, has released their v2.0 release that includes the 184.108.40.206 kernel, GNOME 2.12.1, and a good deal of other package updates. This distribution is designed primarily for Dutch office use and bundled into a single ISO are both the LiveCD and install variants. For reference, the system failed to operate properly on two of the three systems we had tested with Nonux v2.0.
1 December 2005
Troppix v1.2
Troppix, a Debian-based distribution, that is designed for security professionals whether it be for auditors or penetration testers, has released their v1.2 stable release recently and we have experimented with this latest version and today have a few pictures from our testing process. This latest release implements enhanced support for many wireless Chipsets as well as updates to several security tools along with a good deal of other improvements. Overall this is another possible LiveCD alternative to Knoppix, PHLAK, or Auditor for performing legitimate security activities.
29 November 2005
MEPIS SimplyMEPIS v3.4-1 RC1
The first release candidate for MEPIS' upcoming SimplyMEPIS 3.4 series has been released and is now available from their mirrors. Since we last took at MEPIS a few releases ago they have implemented X.Org 6.8.2, KDE 3.4.2, OpenOffice 2.0, Firefox 1.5, Skype 18.104.22.168, and a wealth of other packages. In addition the DCC version of the Linux 2.6.12-10 kernel has been installed. Coincidently, this release has occurred on the third birthday for the MEPIS project. Shortly we shall hopefully see some additional news pertaining to the MEPIS SimplySOHO product.

Capcom: Next Resident Evil Will Be More 'Focused'
Resident Evil's been expanding its increasingly action-oriented empire for years now, but ' while the gesture's much-appreciated ' it hasn't exactly seen many of its finest hours on PC. Resident Evil 4 was a brilliant scare-'em-up chainsawed in the clavicle by one of the worst ports ever, Resident Evil 5 was profoundly mediocre, Operation Raccoon City wasexecrable,and Resident Evil 6, well, it's not out yet. But cries of agony from consoletropolis' direction don't exactly bode well. So yes, the once-legendary survival-horror series is in a pretty bad place at the moment. But there is hope. Well, sorta. If nothing else, DICE at least saw Capcomsaying the right things.
