Here's the full-length version of Kanye West's new song, "White Dress", which appears on the soundtrack to RZA's film The Man With the Iron Fists. Produced by Kanye, alongside RZA, Tapez and Boogz, the track is a good marriage between Yeezy's more organic work of the early aughts with a strict, sharp blend of his short-lived 808s material. Stream the song and watch its accompanying video below.
The Man With the Iron Fists OST is out October 23rd via Soul Temple/STAX/Red. Other tracks available for an early spin include The Black Keys and RZA's "The Baddest Man Alive"; Wu-Tang Clan's "Six Directions of Boxing"; Ghostface Killah, M.O.P, and Pharoahe Monch's "Black Out"; and Pusha T and Raekwon's "Tick, Tock".

Mammoth Lakes, CA
July 18-20, 2014
Click link for online registration (RACE HAS BEEN CANCELED)
Mammonth Lakes Resort Activities and Lodging
Click Footloose logo for link. Footloose Sports is Mammoth Lakes premiere ski and bike shop.
Mammoth Mountain is one of the leading Four Season Resorts on the west coast, and is rich in cycling history, so what better place to hold The Mammoth 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race. Over 25 years ago The Kamikaze Downhill Race went down in the history books as The Grand Daddy-O of all downhill races. Mammoth went on to bigger and better events hosting many NORBA Mountain Bike Championships throughout the 90's.
There's plenty to do at Mammoth Mountain Resort, including riding one of the best designed mountain bike parks in the nation, with 80 miles of single track, rest stops with drinking water and picnic tables. You can shuttle from town to the main lodge at Mammoth Mountain, demo and rent many different bikes, and the Adventure Center at the lodge has certified bike mechanics to handle any bike repairs.
We designed the Mammoth 24 Hour Mountain Bike race course with relatively low climbing because of the base elevation of 8,413 ft. The course has very good flow but will be a true test of endurance and experience. With solos and teams alike, you will be tested against the elements with some of the top endurance racers in the nation. The course is 95% single track with lots of room to pass, is 9.45 miles long, with 850 feet of elevation gain per lap, and 802 feet of loss. Lap times for 24 hour team riders should be around 1:05, with fast lap times around 50 minutes. Solo 24 hour lap times should be around 55 minutes for fast riders, while solo 8 hour lap times should be around 45 minutes.
Course Link: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/223139082

THERE WILL BE NO SAVING/HOLDING SPOTS FOR OTHER TEAMS OR PEOPLE COMING LATER. Please make sure you only take what space you need. One 5 person, 4 person or corporate team area should be no bigger than 20 x20. Solos, two persons 10×10.

Outstanding Drama Series - Emmy Nomination Preview 2013
Can 'Homeland' repeat in a swamped category?
Follow HitFix: Follow @hitfix
You know how Oscars voters have fudged their Best Picture fields in recent years with nine or 10 nominees? This might be a great year for Emmy voters to contemplate a similar cheat. All six of last year's nominees are eligible again this year and, if you ask my opinion, the *worst* of the shows last season was "Homeland," which happens to be the defending champion and a lock to return. But what does that mean for "House of Cards" or "The Americans" or "Hannibal" or "Rectify" or former nominees like "The Good Wife" or "Dexter"? There are some years I might have predicted a buzz-y show like "Scandal" might have a real shot, but that's pretty much impossible to argue in this field.
Sigh. We need 10 nominees. Or 20.
Check out my full slate of candidates...

Rhapsody Radar: The Henningsens
by Linda Ryan | October 22, 2013
It's not often you find a band that features a dad and his two children. The Partridge Family don't count because they were fictional (even if they were based on The Cowsills, which featured a mother and her sons). So, if not unheard of, exactly, the concept is rare enough.
Enter The Henningsens, comprised of siblings Aaron and Clara with their father, Brian. Brian Henningsen played in a few Illinois-based bands in the '80s, but gave up music when his father could no longer handle the family farm by himself. He may have given up the dream of making music for a living, but his passion for music never died. As Brian's children grew, so did their appreciation for music -- especially for the country music their father played in the house.
In 2008, Aaron met Wynonna Judd's husband, Cactus Moser, at church. Demos were exchanged, and before long, producer Paul Worley was turned on to the trio. Worley signed the group to his Skyline Music Publishing company and pitched a number of their songs to The Band Perry, who scored big with hits such as "You Lie" and "Night Gone Wasted," among others.
The Band Perry's success gave the Henningsens the break they needed. In 2012, they released their debut single, "American Beautiful." The song's driving drums and big pop chorus combined for a heartland rock feel, which was the perfect place for Clara's strong, clear vocals. Other songs on the Henningsens EP offered a more twanging (and less pop/rock) slice of New Country.
Each member of the group has his or her own set of favorites and influences, as their collaborative playlist reflects. Simply titled Crankin' It Loud in the Car, the family dusts off such perennial faves as Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," the Eagles' "Take It Easy" and, why not, Rihanna's "Stay."

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday morning for the Siemens Corporation of Alliance for its new 15,000 square building at 2nd and Willliamette, which is just east of the Days Inn Motel.
Company Materials Manager John Aguallo of Alliance says the mission of his company is to support the railroad industry, including BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX, as well as light-rail vehicles from across the country.
"Siemen's stores the material for locomotives," he said. "For all the locomotives, except Amtrak, we supply the propulsion, which converts the DC energy into AC, which drives the locomotives."
Aguallo says Siemen's recently landed a contract with Amtrak that runs from Washington DC to Boston, and will provide materials from nose to end, and those materials will be in Alliance as well.
Aguallo says moving out of their current facility, which is located in the 500 block of West Second Street, will be a huge upgrade that will provide better service for Siemen's customers.
"Not only will be have material storage here, but the facility will include technology centers," he stated. "We'll be able to do some local repairs instead of sending the work to Atlanta, GA or to Germany."
Mischnick Construction of Alliance will build the new facility. Aguallo hopes to begin utilizing the new building around May 1, 2014.
"Mischnick Contruction and the Box Butte Development Corporation both provided great assistance in helping us move forward with this project," Aquallo said.
John Aquallo, Materials Manager at Siemens comments on the expansion project — Sept. 24, 2013

If the district and Gordon had actually offered the teachers the same concessions as last year, they might have gotten them. What they actually offered them was a 25% pay cut. Go to SERB and look up the docs in the unfair labor practice the district filed against the union. You can also go to Channel 5's website and look up the story done by Deb Lee.
A union can only accept that what is actually offered--not what the public may think has been offered.
PD Editorial Board,
What makes you think the district is only seeking modest concessions? That's not what the membership has been told. Also, I haven't seen you question the district's changing stories regarding it's finances. Maybe before voicing such opinions you should do a little homework.
For all who think that merit pay improves teacher performance, studies are beginning to show that it doesn't. Please read: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/09/21/study-merit-pay-teachers-doesnt-improve-student-test-scores/
Ms. Lambright is not one of the "young" teachers. She's finishing her 14th year in the District and is over 40. A good, solid, experienced teacher.
Dear PD Editorial Board,
What makes you think that issue of seniority has been on the table? Because the CEO told you so? Because he is the pillar of truth? Get a clue. It makes for great press and impresses the power-hungry foundations but couldn't be further from the truth.
Mr. Marra, with all due respect, how do you know what the Cleveland Teachers Union does or does not have passion for? David Quolke has done nothing but try and reach out to reputable charter operators around Cleveland and has voiced his support for quality education--even if it is provided by a charter school. The least you can do is show the same respect to him.
I find the comments of those who regularly bash teachers fascinating on this issue. Many of you who are posting that teachers shouldn't be allowed to retire at 30 years of service are the same people who have complained that schools should only have young, energetic teachers because those with 30 or more years in are tired and washed up. Make up your minds! Can't have it both ways. BTW I think double-dipping is wrong. The only time it should be considered is when you have high needs areas that have too few applicants to fill needed positions. Sometimes it's necessary. Oh, be sure to ask Dr. Sanders how many of his top administrators are double-dipping AND how many of his people also get pick-up on the pick-up. Mr. Ott, that might be an interesting follow-up story.
xl7, did you read what she said? The union has offered the district a financial package, but the district is NOT negotiating, but rather dictating. This is not "my way or the highway". Like it or not, we live in a collective bargaining state, and these are supposed to be negotiations. If YOU don't like it, or Sanders doesn't like it, maybe you or he should go elsewhere. The union is here to stay.
Dr. Sanders, you--as usual--completely misrepresent the situation. You don't mention that your staff failed to present the Memorandum of Understanding that allows for waivers of the contract at the Innovative Schools to the CTU until a day before the Delegate Assembly. The CTU had asked your staff when they pulled such shennanigans with New Tech to give CTU leadership enough lead time to distribute proposed MOUs to Delegates so that they could review and ask questions prior to having to vote on MOUs for new schools. Once again your staff showed the same disregard for teachers and their union that you display. Rather than blame the union for being obstructionist, maybe you should look in the mirror for the source of where much of this problem lies. In order for your mystical, magical transformation plan to work, you need to have teachers on board. Until you start treating them with a little respect, you will see more of what you saw last week. Wake up. This is not Washinton D.C. and you are no Michelle Rhee.
Statewide "calamity" days have been reduced to three by state law. Cleveland schools rarely close or delay for weather related issues. I don't think we had one this year. A few schools throughout the district were closed due to power outages or neighborhood emergencies. I also do not recall closing early this school year. I've been with the district over a decade and have NEVER had a delayed start. Most teachers retire with a couple hundred sick days, for which they receive only a small percentage in compensation upon retirement. I won't waste my time telling you that summers and holidays are rarely true downtimes for teachers because you are one of those people that believe that we only are working when we are in front of children. You can continue to believe that papers are graded by pixies and lesson plans create themselves. I won't try to persuade you otherwise. I just ask that, please, before you ramble on in ignorance of what my benefits may or may not be, find out the facts. Thanks.
Oh, that gigantic $250 tax credit? Yep, I spend at least that just on the supplies that my students' families cannot or will not purchase. That doesn't include what I spend on equipment and teaching materials that the district doesn't provide, yet are critical to performing my job. I've been waiting two years for a functional computer and printer at school. I'm expected to incorporate technology into my lessons, yet I have nothing but an overhead projector and a small television with a VCR. Oh yeah, the district purchased new textbooks this year. A class set for each teacher. We are not allowed to assign the books to the students to take home, but the students can access the on-line version. Doesn't seem to matter that IF our students have a computer at home they often DO NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS. Brilliant. So, gon2tx, you can have your tax credit. It isn't worth it.
So the CTU should not be concerned with all of Cleveland's children? They should sacrifice the majority of Cleveland's children and the working conditions of CTU members for a small minority? Disgusting.
A few questions for you: 1. Do you know what the Union has proposed to the District? 2. Are you aware that state law governs how the reductions in force are done? 3. Why do you believe that experienced teachers are less deserving of their jobs than newer teachers? 4. Are you aware of the demands the District is making outside of financial concessions? 5. Do you actually believe the District cares about your spouse or any of the other 662 CTU members to whom they issued pink slips? Think about your answers to these questions Outraged. Maybe you'll rethink your position on the elimination of the Union.
The link that Purger posted is to a list by the Ohio Citizens Accounting Standards Board. Look at the list carefully. There are several people listed multiple times with multiple rates of pay. This information isn't even remotely accurate. Look up the OCASB. Look at the other groups with which they have aligned themselves. If Purger doesn't have an agenda, I can guarantee you that the OCASB does, and it certainly doesn't involve making sure that every child has access to a public school education.
Several teachers were fired last year. If you do a public records request, you can see all of the gory details. The problem with CMSD is that they usually fire the wrong people for the wrong reasons and put personal dislikes and vendettas ahead of dismssing those that are truly poor performing employees.
As for the comments about energetic and effective teachers potentially losing their jobs in layoffs, I have to ask this question: In what other professional do you seek inexperience as a qualification? Do you want your doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant, etc. to be "energetic"? Or, would you rather have an experienced professional? Ask any teacher how long they were teaching before they actually felt like they knew what they were doing. They will probably tell you that it took about five years in the classroom, and another five years before they felt truly experienced. Finally, just because a person is an experienced teacher doesn't mean that he or she is no longer a good teacher. In most cases it just means that he or she actually knows what he or she is doing.
The level of compensation for teachers, especially urban teachers, is also driven by market forces. Urban schools offer a more challenging work environment. It is more difficult to recruit quality candidates and even more difficult to retain those individuals. While unions have negotiated these salaries, if market forces did not drive wages, unions would not be able to effectively negotiate pay increases. Additionally, those "sweetheart" pension plans are part of an educators overall compensation. The school district will pay a portion as part of the employees benefit package and the employee contributes the rest out of his or her wages in lieu of social security contributions, often at a higher rate. The health care benefits have been very good in many public districts, but again, that is part of the package to help retain individuals. I take issue with your perception that a "piece of paper" is without value. If that were true, then no one would ever need to get one. Unions do not survive--and many haven't--if they do not adapt and grow. The Cleveland Teachers Union has demonstrated over and over again--especially over the last five years--that it is progressive and is willing to partner with the district to improve the quality of education. While the union leadership is not elected by the general public, it is elected by the educators of the district to be their collective voice. If the district wants reform and needs the teachers to carry out that reform, then it needs the teachers union to make that happen.
Please be more specific (data, if you have any) as to how unions drive up the cost of education, other than making sure that highly educated individuals are being compensated accordingly. Also, please visit aft.org to see the contributions of unions "in writing."
For all the posters who think it's so wrong to involve the teachers union with the transformation plan, who do you think is going to have to carry out this plan? Sanders, the one who brought Burns with his stealing and investigations? Do you actually think he's going to be around long enough to see this plan through to fruition? Also, with the national and local leadership asking to work on the issues of struggling teachers and accountability, why do you want to belittle those attempts at raising the level of professionalism?
I have so many questions about this. First, why is Dempsey apologizing? The one who SHOULD be apologizing is Sanders. It was his COO, his buddy. Does anyone actually buy his denials that he didn't know ANYTHING about what Burns was doing? Finally, why does the board hold the retreat out in Lake County? (They've had it at Quail Hollow before, BTW.) Are they afraid that the public might actually see and hear what they're doing? The people of Cleveland need to demand accountability from Sanders, the Mayor, and the Board.
Camel and Glencoerd, did you actually read the full piece? Mr. Quolke listed several examples of CTU's willingness to work with CMSD on many controversial projects. Did you read anything about the CTU being unwilling to work toward a different method of evaulation? No. What he pointed out is that, as usual, CMSD failed to include the very people who will be doing the work in the process of planning. How do you expect any new plan to succeed when you don't work with the people who are going to BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for the transformation?
Oh, Glencoerd, I'm willing to give you the importance of parents on student success. It just demonstrates how little so many CMSD parents are doing to ensure their students are successful.

Fallout Cosplay Accoutrements: Make your own Nuka Cola bottlecaps, Buffout and Med-X
Hello, new visitors! Did you know that we do a weekly podcast that some people find highly enjoyable? Perhaps you will as well! Click here to subscribe in iTunes, yo! Or, click here to subscribe to our feed for more awesome stuff like this!
It's no secret that I enjoy dressing up like video game characters at PAX. This year, I'm dragging Jinny along for a joint Fallout cosplay. I'll be posting the costumes (and instructions on how to make them!) but first, let's talk accessories. Nothing ties a costume together like attention to detail, so I decided to whip up some little Fallout doo-dads to stuff in our belts. I've made some Nuka-Cola caps, a bottle of Buffout, and some Med-X. And you can, too! Here's how to do it:
Nuka Cola Caps
You'll need: Bottlecaps (I like the caps from Session beer, but any caps will work), rubber cement, this template (right click, save as.).
Print the template and cut out the cap tops. Paint some rubber cement on the underside of the paper and on the top of the bottlecap. Let it dry. This technique allows for maximum adhesion. Be sure to get the edges! Touch up the sides with some red paint. Use a spray sealant (matte or gloss, doesn't matter) to make them shine.
You'll need: Small syringes, spray paint (get the stuff formulated especially for plastic)
Paint the syringes. Easy!
You'll need: A medium-sized plastic medicine bottle, rubber cement, this template (right click, save as. You know the drill.).
Print out the template to the size of your bottle. I've made the template a standard size, but you can shrink it to fit any size bottle you'd like. If your bottle isn't black, you can always spraypaint it. Buffout bottles in-game are black with a white lid, but really any bottle will do. Use the same cementing technique for the label you used on the bottlecaps. Fill with candy and give to small children! They'll love the sweet delicious taste of Buffout.
Up next: Wasteland wanderer costume, Raider costume and some nice shiny glowy Nuka Cola Quantum. Stay tuned!

Another title: 'Awesome'
If it's late summer, the Durham Bulls must be winning.
Monday night, with a 4-2 victory over the visiting Gwinnett Braves, the Bulls clinched the International League's South Division title.
The first-place finish has a familiar feel. This is the seventh time the Bulls have won the division title in the eight seasons Charlie Montoyo has managed the team. It's the 12th title in the 17 seasons the team has played in the International League.
You might think success would be old-hat. But listen to Montoyo, praised by switch-hitter Ray Olmedo as the person who "does everything for us."
Montoyo said winning titles never gets old.
"No, no, because it's not that easy," he said after the Braves game. "It's not that easy. I don't take it for granted at all."
It hasn't been easy – the team struggled offensively several times this season, often to be bailed out by a particularly strong pitching staff.
It has been a heady season for the Bulls, their fans and their hometown.
For starters, they were coming off a season in which they won their fourth Governor's Cup by shutting out the North Division's Pawtucket Red Sox. They narrowly lost their bid for their second Triple-A National Championship, losing 2-1 to the Omaha Storm Chasers,
During the off-season, the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, already a premier facility, underwent a $20 million renovation that brought a major-league quality playing field, much improved lighting, more concession stands and a top-flight PNC Triangle Club seating area.
On April 26, just a few weeks into the new season, two Bulls pitchers combined for a no-hitter over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It was the Bulls third no-hitter as a Triple-A club.
Then, in July, the Bulls and Durham hosted for the first time the Triple-A All-Star game, a chance to show off the renovated park and the renaissance of the surrounding downtown.
That event was all the sweeter because Montoyo managed the International League to a 7-3 win over the Pacific Coast League.
This month, fans got to see American League Rookie of the Year and former Bulls' star Wil Myers come to bat on rehab assignment from the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Bulls will open their quest for post-season titles on Sept. 3, at the ballpark of the West Division champions (likely the Columbus Clippers). They'll come to Durham for the third game of the series on Sept. 5.
With all they have had to celebrate already, fans could be forgiven for feverish dreams of another Governor's Cup and, perhaps, another minor-league championship.
It would certainly cap a marvelous year. But for now, we should savor the division title, joining Olmedo in concluding, "It feels so awesome."

Starting the day on 10 under par, together with Michael Campbell of New Zealand, Miguel Jimenez of Spain produced a blistering five birdies in the first 10 holes of the Final Round to put him out of reach of the rest of the field in the 2012 UBS Hong Kong Open at the Fanling course.
With World No. 1 and reigning Open winner Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland not making the cut; former Open winner Colin Montgomerie of Scotland pulling out with a sore right foot after the First Round; and Campbell struggling to find his form on the final day, the way was clear for Jimenez.
With birdies at the 3rd, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th holes the 48-year-old Spaniard defied his age and forged ahead of the field in majestic style with flawless pars to secure the trophy. With a five under par Final Round, Jimenez had completed the Open's four rounds 15 shots under par.
Campbell on the other hand, although making three birdies in the first 10 holes, dropped shots at the 3rd and 9th holes to be four shots down after 10 holes. He then had two further disasters making a bogy at the 14th and a double bogy at the 18th hole finishing two shots over par for the day.
Fredrik Andersson Hed of Sweden, finishing one shot behind Jimenez on 14 under par, took second place. He had birdie opportunities at both the 17th and 18th holes, but the putts did not drop.
The young Italian star Matteo Manassero was also in contention for most of the Final Round, but dropped shots towards the end of the round with bogies on the 13th and 18th holes to finish equal 4th with Peter Laurie of Ireland and Stephen Gallacher of Britain on 11 under par. Marcus Fraser of Australia with four birdies on the back nine holes finished third on 12 under par.
In winning the Hong Kong Open, Jimenez became the oldest-ever winner of a European Tour tournament. The three-time Open title winner had previously won at Fanling in 2004 and 2007—no other player has won more than once since the Open joined the European Tour for the 2002 season.

MANDALAY — President Thein Sein has warned that Burma faces the risk of unrest as it prepares to amend its military-drafted Constitution and conduct free and fair elections.
Landmark elections in 2015 will see Thein Sein's ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party go up against the popular opposition of Aung San Suu Kyi. A parliamentary committee is currently discussing amendments to the 2008 charter, with an alliance of opposition groups, including Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD), holding public rallies around the country calling for the military's role in Burmese politics to be reduced.
Speaking at a literacy event in Mandalay on Thursday, Thein Sein stressed that both upcoming challenges were internal Burmese affairs.
"We will have to work within the boundary of law to not affect the sovereignty of the country. Nobody wants unrest based on these two matters," he said.
"If there's unrest, it will affect the country. Every citizen—monks and everyone—should take examples from countries around the world that have seen unrest, and should protect the country's stability."
He also urged citizens to participate in the country's democratic development. Thein Sein came to power in 2011, ushering in a program of political and economic reforms that have seen Burma's relations with the West improve and investment from overseas increase.
The president was speaking at a ceremony to honor literacy campaigners and students in Mandalay Division. In a 45-day campaign across the division, volunteers reached more than 4,000 elderly learners.
During the speech, Thein Sein stressed the importance of literacy in building a democratic country.
Thein Sein's Mandalay visit came just three days ahead of a public meeting on Constitutional reform to be held in Mandalay on Sunday. Suu Kyi is set to speak at the rally organized by the NLD and the former students' movement 88 Generation Peace and Open Society.
Thein Sein's visit was criticized as a cynical exercise to win praise for the current government and undermine the campaign for significant changes to the Constitution.
"His trip before Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's visit is not honest as he is airing propaganda speech regarding the amendment of the Constitution," said Mya Aung, a local NLD supporter.
"The same thing happened in 2012 before the by-elections, where Daw Aung San Suu Kyi also planned to come to Mandalay."
It seems the President has unmasked himself.
He is going back on his words, and stepped into the shoes of generals and dictators Ne Win and Than Shwe. Sad to say, but what else can we expect of an old hand of dictatorship?
What ever little acheivement obtained, what ever resognition given so far are all relating to observing the people's wishes and conducting their MOTHER's agenda. People know.
Unrest can be avoided if regime is pushing real reform. Instead, regime is trying to build their own fortress. The people are tired of watching fake reform from Thein Sein administration and undemocratic constitution.
Mr Thein Sein should genuinely have a plan to get education and free knowledge for the vast majority of population. More than 50 years, the fascist military regime had choked the public of educated know-how, closed the universities merely for the sake of avoiding unrest, promoted the illicit drugs, forced people into prostitution and ruled the country by corrupting heart and mind of the people.Yes, Burma can descent into popular unrest because of your refusal to accept the reality of people power. You pretend to be a saint balancing badly. Everyone knows that you will face the historic defeat in the 2015 election. Stop behaving like a sheep and start changing your attitude, stand with the people and kick the army general back to the barrack. You will become a great retired president of Burma.
The public will be very happy if the undemocratic Nargis constitution is amended to become democratic constitution. By blocking real reform, regime will make the public angry. People have never been problem-makers. The real problem-makers have been the military dictators. Thein Sein is trying to intimidate us. His tone is very much threatening. But he needs to blame himself if unrest happens in Myanmar. He is the one who is cheating the public. He talked a lot about reform but actually he is not meeting what he promised us. His reform is no way near to the real democratic reform.
None sense.
The only possible risk can be expected from the military dictatorship, not from the people who make their rightful claims, showing their aspirations in a peaceful manner. That is not a dangerous noise, but a beautiful melody in the ears of democrats.
I wish the generals were all democrats!!!
By any-means the constitution should make amendment, otherwise how can call Burma ( Myanmar ) is democratic state. Burmese military should try to do themself how to make constutution amendment. If they do not amend the constitution it is meaningless to show the international communities that Burma ( Myanmar ) is on way to democratic reforms. Since Burma Myanmar )created this consititution during cyclone Nargis period, how many percent it is perfact to say democrtic constitution. This constitution was made of insincerity and ilicit intention to hold political power forever by a group of peoples look like a family company.
Therefore it is the time calling them to do amendment. Do not allow to create unrest in the country any more. Be sincere to your country men.
(((( President Thein Sein has warned that Burma faces the risk of unrest as it prepares to amend its military-drafted Constitution and conduct free and fair elections. ))))
Does he means Military will try to derail free and fair election if Military MPs were ousted from Parliament?
President U Thein Sein seems to be trouble with his reform. He may be under pressure from former dictator Than Shwe.
We need to do anatomy on U Thein Sein speech and recent comment come from other Government officials.
It looks like Army will coup power if Military MPs were ousted from Parliament. President U Thein Sein is carefully revealing what can happen if Military MPs were ousted.
I believe he has been directly warning by Than Shwe or via Gen Min Aung Hlaing.
I believe peoples of Burma are ready to face consequence of changing former dictator Than Shwe's Constitution.
President U Thein Sein and Gen Min Aung Hlaing must choose which side they will stand by either side of majority Burmese peoples or former dictator Than Shwe and his cronies' side.
I am the people—the mob—the crowd—the mass.
Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me?
I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world's food and clothes.
I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons come from me and the Lincolns. They die. And then I send forth more Napoleons and Lincolns.
I am the seed ground. I am a prairie that will stand for much plowing. Terrible storms pass over me. I forget. The best of me is sucked out and wasted. I forget. Everything but Death comes to me and makes me work and give up what I have. And I forget.
Sometimes I growl, shake myself and spatter a few red drops for history to remember. Then—I forget.
When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool—then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision.
The mob—the crowd—the mass—will arrive then.
How many people applause Suu Kyi and Min Ko Naing? Thousands. People are hungry for democracy. People join the rallies not because they are forced but because they need and hungry for democracy which regime does not really want to have and to see. Democracy, people and Suu Kyi – Min Ko Naing are inseparable. More showdowns are on the way if the voice falls on the deaf dears of the regime. Than Shwe will end up like Saddam Hussein and Muammar Kaddafi if he keeps pulling the string behind the scene(We all know that current regime is his puppet).

Tillage as a soil management practice has the potential to have a significant effect on crop production and environment (i.e., soil quality and water quality) in Iowa and the Midwest. Tillage can contribute to soil erosion, sediment and chemical runoff from farms, on-farm energy use, and fertilizer and pesticide use. Intensive use of tillage can significantly affect agricultural sustainability and economic return, commodity production and input cost per acre. Tillage and crop rotation can influence the sustainability and resiliency of our agriculture systems in lieu of the unpredictable trend of climate changes resulting in extreme cyclic wet or drought conditions.
The increased use of intensive tillage may accelerate such effects due to release of greenhouse gases, primarily CO2 and N2O, from fossil fuel during tillage operations and the oxidation and mineralization of organic matter. Generally, organic matter consists of stored carbon that is not available to contribute to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as a carbon dioxide or nitrous oxides unless it is subjected to oxidation process through soil disturbance. These changes not only have an effect on the climate, but are also major contributors to depleting soil of its essential productivity.
Trends in adopting no –tillConservation tillage, and especially no-till, is a proven practice in protecting soil quality in corn and soybean cropping systems. The trend in adopting no-tillage (NT) is gaining some momentum over the past few years, but at a very slow pace. The general trend in adopting NT in the U.S. was estimated to be at 1.5 percent per year for corn and soybean according to the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) report of November 2010, where NT has increased from 23.5 to 29.5 percent for the period of 2005 to 2009 for corn production. That means approximately 70 percent of corn crop land is under some degree of tillage. However, the percentage of soybean acreage going into NT is much higher, at 45.3 to 50 percent for the period of 2006 to 2009, respectively (Table 1).
The trend of increase in soybean acreage is similar to corn acreage at 1.5 percent per year. Generally, soybean acreage will be tilled as it goes into corn for the following year. Therefore, the high percentage of NT soybean acres reflects NT at that year only, as indicated by the percentage of NT corn of 23.5-29.5 percent, which means 20 percent of soybean acreage goes back to conventional tillage for corn after soybean the following year. Therefore, defining true NT is critical, where continuous NT should be implemented for the entire rotation from year to year regardless of the following crop.
In the Midwest the rate of increase of NT under corn crop was 1.9 percent compared with an increase in soybeans of 3.8 percent per year. However, in Iowa the rate of increase in NT under both corn and soybean was much greater, at 3.8 percent for corn and 4.5 percent for soybean per year. In Iowa, according to USDA-ERS estimates there is noticeable progress in NT corn from 7.8 percent in 2001 to 22.8 percent in 2005, while NT acreage under soybean moved from 22.7 percent in 2002 to 40.8 percent in 2006. However, this increase in NT soybean does not represent a permanent increase; it is only an increase in the years in which soybeans are grown. The drop in NT acreage to 22.8 percent under corn following soybean, reflects the challenges associated with NT corn production in Iowa and the Midwest in general.
The progress made in adopting NT is relatively slow when 70-80 percent of row crop lands are under one form or another of tillage. The tillage and crop rotation research at Iowa State University documented the lack of yield and economic advantages for soybean production under conventional tillage regardless of where in the state. However, corn production is more challenging and requires additional management to have a successful NT system.
To achieve an efficient no-till system, consider the followingDrainage system • Efficient drainage system in poorly drained areas to remove excess water• Include filter strips and grass water ways to reduce surface erosion• Ground water management to utilize water more efficiently under drought conditionsEquipment • Proper residue management attachments (i.e., residue cleaners set for removing residue from the row with minimum soil disturbance) to increase soil surface temperature• Proper adjustment for planters for proper down pressure and seed depth• Combine adjustment for uniform residue distribution• Proper fertilizer application equipment to minimize soil disturbanceCrop rotation• Corn following soybean to help build soil biodiversity• Continuous corn (C-C)—if C-C is used residue cleaner should be set to manage corn residue with minimum soil disturbance• Other extended crop rotations—if forage crop used with NT in the rotation, consideration for minimizing soil disturbance needs to be included when forage is terminatedProper fertilizer program• Soil testing—soil testing is essential regardless of the tillage system to insure adequate availability of nutrients• Timing of application is critical to avoid nutrient loss, especially nitrogen• Starter fertilizer can help provide initial boost for plant growth and developmentHybrid selection• Days for maturity—this is important especially, if planting delayed due to soil moisture conditions• Climate and soil conditions are different in different regions in the state. Therefore, selecting proper hybrid for NT should take in consideration such conditions Integrated crop management program• Pest and disease control—this is important for NT in cold, poorly drained soils• Weed control—timing of controlling weeds is important by applying chemicals to minimize potential yield lossInput cost• Potential input cost for selected tillage system needs to be factored in determining net return• Potential yield of site—selection of any tillage should take in account the soil site potential productivity• Compliance with conservation plan—this is important for those who have a conservation plan contract with a conservation agency
These considerations are essential for treating NT as a comprehensive system that requires an integrated approach of management practices. The adoption of NT can be valuable for managing crop production and increase the resiliency of row cropping systems in adapting to unpredictable weather changes. It is also important to recognize that a successful NT system may require a diversified cropping system along with other practices such as: cover crop, grass waterways, and filter strips to maintain soil productivity.

NEW YORK (AP) - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he wonders why police officers across the country don't threaten to strike until tougher gun controls are passed.
Bloomberg made the comment Monday night on CNN.
The mayor said he doesn't understand why officers "don't stand up collectively and say we're going to go on strike."
He clarified Tuesday that he didn't mean it literally. He says New York law prevents police strikes.
But he said officers ought to be outraged by the lack of gun control because they willingly go into dangerous situations.
It was Bloomberg's latest push for gun control since the Colorado massacre.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Tuesday he thought it was simply a statement of frustration by the mayor reacting to the country's inadequate gun control.

Next month, I send my firstborn, Sara, into the epicenter of the current immigration crisis. It's a place so fraught with danger that residents are sending their unaccompanied children to America.
She's going to teach the sixth grade in Marcala, Honduras; a place we visited together in December 2012.
This week, I reread my travel journal and found a new appreciation for why Hondurans are coming to the U.S. by whatever means they can afford. The following is an excerpt:
I am at the San Pedro Sula Honduras airport standing at the car rental counter with my daughter, Sara. She is leading a small humanitarian team from Denver's Highlands Church to bring books to rural schoolchildren. I am the clueless columnist and doting father.
We meet our host, Roger, a 32-year-old bivocational pastor from the village we've come to help. I am introduced as the only monolingual guest.
We quickly load 300 pounds of books and luggage into a rented Toyota 4x4. We squeeze into the Toyota's air-conditioned cocoon and hunt for fast food. We find burgers at a restaurant where a shotgun-toting guard walks the perimeter.
Thirty minutes later, we are driving on a lineless four-lane highway with full stomachs and plenty of jokes to translate. Suddenly, traffic slows ahead. I look for a car accident, but I see only a bloody blue tarp alongside the road that is covering the shape of a child.
Sara asks what we see, but I'm a dad and refuse to say.
Roger redirects our focus toward the sugarcane fields where trucks are being loaded with day laborers. The men stare blankly through the truck's fencing like cattle wondering when they'll be slaughtered.
Scores of machete-toting children are leaving the sugarcane fields on foot. Hunger seems to bleed from their faces, and their small bodies wear a tired that I've never known. Roger's voice cracks as he says he wants a better life for his children, Sarai and Noel.
In the evening shadows, Sara manages to find the Marcala exit. We spend the next 90 minutes slowly driving a rocky and twisted road through the crevasses of an unsteady hillside.
I ask Roger if there are bandits hiding in the rocks. The question is translated, and the answer brings nervous chuckles.
"What did he say?" I ask.
"You won't like it, Dad," Sara says.
We soon reach a two-story motel where we divide by sexes into two dimly lit rooms. The shower has an instant water heater, but I elect not to use it when I notice how haphazardly it is wired with electrician's tape.
I lie on the bed to contemplate my day. During the 8-hour trip, I'd seen the roadside dead, dodged bandits and avoided electrocution. The existential pondering of death is a luxury few people have here. Many are lucky to survive birth. Then they ride on motorcycles before they can walk, work in the sugar fields before school age and bear children before high school age.
Truthfully, I'm not overly concerned about my daughter's return visit to Honduras. During our visit, we were shown incredible hospitality by people who have so little. They protected her and loved her, and that's why I am simply praying that God will help Sara and the community learn from each other.
I'm more concerned about the abusive slurs and hateful shouts that Americans have aimed toward Honduran refugee children in recent news clips. They are unbecoming of a country known for its beauty, and I'm betting most Americans are better than that.
If you'll take that bet, drop me an email at email@example.com, and I'll tell you how we can buy more books for rural Honduran children.

Respond to Review of T's Tantan
by Shauna333
Review: I had this on my list of places to visit on my last stay in Japan (March 2013), but happened to be passing it when on my way to the Keiyo line to go to Maihama and Disney Sea, so popped in for lunch. It was really busy, full of Japanese businessmen and young people on their lunch break whilst in the JR station. It is unusual to see a veg* restaurant abroad be so packed with local people, who probably aren't veg* themselves. Service was lightening quick - I was shown to a large table and given the menu. I ordered the original ramen, which looked like the least spicy option! It was bought out in minutes and was delicious! The broth was very flavourful, and with a kick but not too much. It was topped with what looked like a mix of peanut butter and soy - tasted much yummier than it sounds! It was really hot temperature wise and slurping was necessary to cool it down. It was only Y750 and completely filling, healthy and fast. The second time I went I also had the fried soy meat, which I didn't care for much, but the ramen is incredible. The restaurant also sells a selection of packaged foods in the entrance, including dried soy mince. The staff don't speak much English, but the menu is in English and there are only a few options to choose from, so you can't go wrong really. At the end, you take your order sheet to the counter to pay - simple! If you aren't in the station to get a train, you can get a station only ticket on any of the JR ticket machines; I think it is only Y300 or so. I had a JR pass, so no problem going in to Keiyo Street.

I was disappointed with the Superbowl teaser. Someone at CBS said, "Let's show the cover of the book for ten seconds?" All they needed was a glass window, a trained bird, and some fake blood. 1. Show the bird flying. 2. Train the bird to fly into the window. 3. Add blood.
I checked on this pic today on my FB ''file d'actualité'' (sorry don't know how to say it in english ). It was taken on the set of Under The Dome. Steve looks happy.Attachment 17005
Cool, looking forward to this coming out. The story was great and I pulled in a bunch of new fans by talking them into reading it. This will only solidify how good of a story it is.

Just finished a double pastel portrait of Rachel Soule and Hannah Mulhollen, two young high school seniors from my church's youth group. They modelled for me at the church picnic in August 2012.
I like this. Very nice.

At first blush, a modern death penalty execution might seem like an off-limits topic for an opera.
But San Francisco composer Jake Heggie and librettist Terrence McNally were commissioned by the San Francisco Opera in the late '90s to do just that: compose an opera based on "Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States." The book was written by Sister Helen Prejean, who became the spiritual adviser for Patrick Sonnier, a man on death row in Louisiana. In 1984, she accompanied him to his execution. Her book also inspired the Oscar-winning 1995 film starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn.

text: We're loving this table-top crystal-esque ball, slap a SIM card in, fire off an SMS and the giant 85 LED display writes the message out in the GPRS iBall for all to see. Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there, the device also has 64MB of storage and can be mounted on the ceiling if need be. Of course, there are always downsides to fun tech and this one has a doozy: the gadget will cost you $2,200 with 100 free messages, and after that prepare to shell out $230 per 1000 messages. While we get that new tech can be pricey, we don't understand why a simple incoming SMS can cost so much that it would be more affordable to hire an assistant to follow you about.[Via textually.org]
