The number 27 is proving to be a lucky one for Indiana Tech men's basketball player Melvin Brooks.
The senior forward scored that many points for the second consecutive game, as he led the Warriors (2-0) to a 74-57 victory over Ohio Midwestern College at the Schaefer Center.
Brooks' 27 points and 17 rebounds matched his career-high in both categories, which he established last Saturday against Indiana Dabney University. After the first two games, Brooks leads the nation in scoring and rebounds per game.
The Warriors got off to a slow start on Tuesday, as they trailed 6-0 before Antonio Landers put in a basket at the 17:15 mark.
Ohio Midwestern would extend its lead to 12-4 six minutes into the game, but a three-pointer from Landers would spark a 9-2 scoring run by the Warriors to cut the deficit to 14-13 midway through the first half.
The Rams pushed their advantage back to 19-13, but another scoring spurt by the 25th-ranked Warriors tied the game at 21 before Jordan Hickman scored off a turnover to give the Warriors their first lead of the game with 5:11 remaining in the half.
Over the final 10 minutes of the first half, the Warriors outscored the visiting Rams 26-5 to take a 39-24 lead into the locker room.
The Warriors struggled from the field early in the second half, hitting just two of their first 15 shots, while the Rams clawed their way back into the game.
Ohio Midwestern took advantage of Indiana Tech's slow start and trimmed the deficit to 46-40 with 12:32 left on the clock. However, Brooks would convert on his next three shots to help boost the Warrior lead back to 55-46 over the next four minutes.
From that point on, it was all Indiana Tech, as Kody Chandler would connect from long range to give the Warriors a double-digit lead with under five minutes to play.
Landers finished with 12 points and six assists, while Chandler and Hickman added 11 points apiece.
Antwan Cathey chipped in seven points and seven boards off the bench.
The Warriors held Ohio Midwestern to just 34 percent shooting on the night and forced the Rams into 17 turnovers.
Indiana Tech will host Trinity Christian College at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Guess I've been 'on' this site for a little while, but I'd hardly say I'm an active user, & in truth, I've never/ rarely seen anyone that is my kinda Girl...
I've tried to be as honest as poss with the Q's & A's (but hard sometimes as BOTH answers are applicable, yet only 1 can be picked!)
I scooted thru, answering loads of Q's quickly, so don't take anything as an absolute deal-breaker!! Just ask me!
I'm a pro drummer that's played in lots of bands, & been in way too many crazy situations (usually band related!),
- I'd say I've definitely been to the School Of Life,
& have got a few good/ bad/ ugly (but all funny!) stories to tell - campfire or no campfire!
I'm not addicted to anything (except food, sleep & air)
I am confident, but not arrogant (there's a difference!)
I try not to beat around the bush - sod PC-ness - just tell it like it is!!
I know what I'm doing MOST of the time.....but not ALL the time!!!
My influences are very broad - be it music/ food/ holidays/ going out etc
I'm not very fussy & can usually find good/ positive aspects in pretty much everything!
I'm a "pint is half FULL" kinda guy... ;o)
If I think of anything more, I'll be back!
Update: I just looked at my 'Personality' summary, & it kinda leads you to believe that I'm an Extroverted Drug-crazed Pervert(!!?!) that's not driven by Love one jot. NOT true, at all!!
I'm definitely driven by Love - I've had it truly, before...& I really want it again, whether it finds me, or I find......you.
So, for the record: OKC Computer: FAIL.
Hopefully that clears that up.
Now, where's my vial of crack & my greased pitbull... ;o)

Nicer to sit in than a CX-5 at the LA Auto Show.
I hate when the auto is more efficient, at least in "EPA" ratings, than the manual, as the industry tries to ween buyers off the manual.
Assuming this is a 6-speed auto and not a CVT, it tells me the first and sixth gear are noticeably taller. The manual will have more grunt under certain conditions.
@BlackDynamiteOnline Jeez, you need a job dude. Just perusing the news, I haven't yet found a blog without you commenting the same thing on it, over and over again...
@BlackDynamiteOnline possibly, but considering this is an all new transmission and engine you may be pleasantly surprised. Automatic transmissions are becoming better and better with each new edition.
@PT1 @BlackDynamiteOnline
Stop stalking me!
Just because unemployment benefits were extended doesn't give you the right......
@kstone1 @BlackDynamiteOnline
No matter how good they get, they will never be fun, like a manual.
You like to have fun, don't you?
@BlackDynamiteOnline not in my family sedan. Thats for getting me to work, the kids to school, and saving some gas money. If I want to have fun I toss a leg over my CBR.

Recreational Projects in Anne Arundel, Frederick and Wicomico Counties to See Enhancements
Annapolis, Md. (July 11, 2012) ─
Recreational Projects in Anne Arundel, Frederick and Wicomico Counties will soon
receive funding for necessary upgrades and additions through Program Open Space.
Governor Martin O'Malley and the Board of Public Works approved the projects at
today's meeting in Annapolis.
"Maryland is committed to preserving and protecting our natural spaces," said Governor O'Malley. "By working together with our local partners, we can continue to ensure that our children and theirs have access to quality, outdoor spaces."
Anne Arundel County will receive a $1,100,328 reimbursement for a 57-acre area of previously acquired land, which expands the Marley Creek Greenway and Stoney Creek Park. This entirely wooded area has frontage on Nabbs Creek Road, and was obtained to help protect the Greenway.
Frederick County will receive $29,000 to develop seven exercise stations along a new, half-mile, ADA-compliant walking trail located in Emmitsburg Community Park.
Wicomico County will receive $15,000 to update Wicomico County's Land Preservation and Recreation Plan as mandated by State law, to present the goals and objectives associated with parkland acquisition and development, agricultural preservation, and natural resource protection.
Under the leadership of Governor O'Malley, the Board of Public Works has approved funding for 1,083 recreational projects, including Community Parks & Playgrounds, totaling over $304 million through local-side Program Open Space since 2007.
Since 1969, Program Open Space has provided funding for the State to preserve more than 357,683 acres for open space and recreation areas. Of this area, 36,614 acres ─ more than 10 percent ─ have been preserved within the past 5 years under the O'Malley-Brown Administration. Most Maryland residents live within 15 minutes of an open space or recreational area funded by Program Open Space. A video showing the direct benefits of Program Open Space can be viewed here.
The three-member Board of Public Works is comprised of Governor O'Malley (chair), Treasurer Nancy Kopp and Comptroller Peter Franchot. The BPW is authorized by the General Assembly to approve major construction and consultant contracts, equipment purchases, property transactions and other procurement actions.

Friday, March 31, 1995 - 1:45 p.m.
Dr. Deutch: President Clinton has sent a letter to the leadership of the House and the Senate urging prompt action on the defense supplemental. What I'd like to do is to read one paragraph in this letter, then make a couple of comments. The paragraph I want to read is as follows:
"Both the House and the Senate have passed defense supplemental appropriations to pay for ongoing contingency operations. I applaud those actions and agree with the Senate's decision to meet our full commitment to Jordan, in furtherance of the Middle East peace process, in this legislation. Unfortunately, these matters seem tied up in the Conference, and a deadline is looming that requires immediate congressional action to recognize the emergency nature of this supplemental bill and minimize offsetting reductions."
That's a quote from the President's letter to the leadership of Congress.
Simply put, it says that if Congress does not act on this defense supplemental before it goes on recess here next week, military readiness will suffer. It's the message that we have said over and over again -- General Shalikashvili, Bill Perry have made to the Congress. The congressional leadership has recognized that. We must have action or we are going to have reductions which will influence adversely the readiness of our military forces.
We have asked the services to indicate the reductions that will have to take place beginning April 7th. There will be reductions in the Army of exercises; in the Navy of ship steaming hours; in the Air Force in flying hours -- $127 million for the Army; $73 million for the Navy; $116 million for the Air Force; $7 million for the Marine Corps; $10 million for our special forces; in operations and maintenance activities which will impair their readiness.
Bill Perry and General Shalikashvili have frequently said that if we do not have action by the 31st of this month, these actions will be necessary. The President's letter reinforces and encourages Congress to come to grips with this problem.
Very importantly, I want to add that the Department has had excellent cooperation from leadership on both sides of the aisle in Congress in dealing with this problem. We've had excellent help from Senator Stevens, Senator Inouye, from Congressman Young, from Congressman Murtha, Congressman Livingston, the leadership, everybody has been very helpful on both sides of the aisle, but the problem is not solved. This problem has to be solved or military preparedness and readiness in this country is going to suffer beginning next week, and we don't want to see that happen.
Let me stop there and I will take any questions you all may have. Thank you.
Q: Just how difficult will this make things for the military?
A: If it happens?
Q: Yes.
A: This is the first month, I mentioned to you, and every month this will continue until we have recaptured from lost operations, lost readiness, until we've recaptured the funds that we're seeking now, roughly a billion-and-a-half dollars. It will significantly impair the readiness of our Army, Special Forces, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy. It is a major reduction in our readiness that we have predicted would be the case if Congress didn't act. You will recall the outcry in the country, in Congress last year, when we had a very minor reduction in readiness because of three Army divisions.
We regard this as a very serious matter at a time when we have many obligations around the world to maintain our readiness. It's our highest priority, it's Congress' highest priority, as I've emphasized. This is not a partisan matter, not a difference in the executive branch and Congress, it's just a problem that has not been solved and it must be solved for the sake of our military forces.
Q: I was wondering if you could elaborate on why the money is being taken out of readiness. Why you can't take it out of developmental programs or something like that?
A: Further reductions in modernization programs are not contemplated at such a late time in the fiscal year. We have to match outlays rather than budget authority. Secondly, we have already reduced our modernization program to such a level... Bill Perry has made it clear that, because readiness is our highest priority, we've already had modernization be the bill payer to an extent that any further reductions in modernization would be very serious indeed.
Q: Where will we first see the effect of not having the money?
A: Army units with plans to go to maneuvers, into training at the National Training Center, will not go. There will be 25 percent reduction in Air Force flying hours. Ships that were scheduled for overhaul will not enter an overhaul. Ships that were scheduled to be available to the fleet throughout the world, such as the INDEPENDENCE and SALT LAKE CITY, will not be available. There will be a reduction in the operations of Special Operations forces and SOCOM as well. Every month that we don't get this money there will be additional such reductions, and I mentioned to you the roughly $250 million magnitude that we will absorb in the first month.
Q: How many Army units, how many ships? Are we talking two ships, 20 ships?
A: Three ships for the first month, and we can give you a complete layout of the specific actions happening in each service. This is not general categories. We will give you a detailed breakout and, indeed, I wrote a letter to the Chairman; to Senator Stevens, to Congressman Young; in the minority, Senator Inouye and [Representative] Murtha, enclosing for them the specific actions that will be taken beginning April 7th. These are actions that have been worked out with the Joint Staff in deciding how we would absorb the shortfall in dollars that are not available because of absence of action on the supplemental.
Q: Is there any executive power the President may have to find money elsewhere in the federal budget?
A: To find money elsewhere in the federal budget leads to an issue which is one of the problems which Congress is hassling with, which is how you would offset these reductions. The President, of course, in his budget proposed a certain allocation for the Defense Department, requested $2.5 billion of new budget authority, and offset the $700 million for that. But within the Defense Department we have one remaining possibility, and that is a civil war statute called Food and Forage. It is certainly an option that we have, but it delays the moment of reckoning here beyond today, beyond the end of March 31st. While some consideration can be given to that, it does not avoid the problem. The problem is, without an affirmative vote on this supplemental, readiness is going to suffer sooner rather than later.
Q: Does this stretch the force? And do you believe that lack of congressional action has an effect on morale?
A: No question it stretches the force, and that lack of congressional action is difficult for morale because it leads to uncertainty in every operating unit of the force, who are in a cycle this year of what their plans will be for deployments, what their plans will be for exercises and training, and what we have here is a significant uncertainty at this stage of the fiscal year in the remaining activities for the year. So, yes, it does add major uncertainty for our fighting men and women.
Q: I believe one of the units that was supposed to be going out to the NTC was the 4th ID. That was one of the divisions that was declared to be below readiness levels last fall. The reason they've been declared that was because they haven't had the chance to go out to the NTC before. So it seems like there's sort of a cascading problem here if it doesn't get solved.
A: If it doesn't get repaired, the C-2 status of that division or the C-3 status of units in that division will maintain until the funds are there to give them their rotation cycle in their training opportunities, including at the National Training Center.
Q: You've made these predictions of what this will do to the force before, to Congress many times. What does it tell you? They know the ramifications of not passing the supplemental, and they're here still stuck passing.
A: There's a very big difference this time than what happened last year. Last year these were general remarks that were made, that were made very close to when the events took place. In this case, we have been informing Congress that it is our required actions, actions required of us, not something we have discretion to do. It is going to happen. We have said that it would happen if we didn't get the funds before March 31st, and we are now identifying precisely those units that are going to be affected, and precisely when and what magnitude, and the amounts of money that will have to be captured.
Q: That's what I'm saying. You have informed them in the past, in the last couple of weeks, at least, precisely what will happen. Obviously, that hasn't moved them. Why do you think it hasn't? Why are they still at an impasse if they know the ramifications of...
A: I want to stress that these individuals are making a valiant effort to solve the many complicated problems that they have to solve at a time when they have a very full agenda. Let me say to you that I've found, every time we've met, that Bill Perry and I have met with the leadership or any of the committee chairmen or subcommittee chairmen, they are aware of this problem. They are extremely sympathetic to it. They understand the consequences that will happen if there isn't any action. It's just that the system hasn't yet come to a solution. The main purpose of the President's letter is to continue to urge absolute attention that this problem has to be solved before they leave.
Q: So the Congress goes off on recess and comes back and, in a month, passes this bill, then everything's okay?
A: No, these actions will have been taken if they come back a month from now and...
Q: The impact will have already happened. They'll come back from Easter vacation, they will have already wrecked part of the training cycle in some of these units...
A: That's correct. To the magnitude, to the impact that I have specifically indicated to you. We'll give you a detailed list. If there is an action in May, then by May 1st we will be up here again with the actions we'll be required to take in May, and so forth, through the remainder of the fiscal year, until we have cut back our readiness operations, until we've cut back our readiness activities to capture the amount of money that we are seeking in the supplemental.
Q: Have the delays started encroaching on FY96 activities?
A: It will have a tail effect into FY96, and we will not be able to assess that until we get closer to the beginning of FY96 and know what Congress plans for that budget request as well.
Q: Can you elaborate on that by saying what sort of a tone that sets for the discussions you expect to have on the '96 budget with Congress? Does it make you concerned that there are going to be similar problems trying to get the '96 budget...
A: Bill Perry and I have been of the view that those people who hoped or expected to get significant additions to the President's budget, to the President's defense budget, this it seems to us is evidence that those windfalls will not be forthcoming.
Q: In the last week there have been a lot of press reports about them taking... I'm moving on to Guatemala.
A: Yes.
Q: There have been reports in the press about possible involvement of U.S. Special Forces Army in Guatemala during a certain period of time. I know that you're looking into that matter. Can you tell us whether or not there were Special Forces from the Army in Guatemala during the time period 1998 to 1990 when...
A: Thank you very much for the question. Bill Perry, as you know, is off in Russia. Just before he left late yesterday afternoon, we discussed this matter, and decided upon a course of action here. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to tell you what we have done about this.
We have formed a Guatemala Review Panel. It is co-chaired by Judy Miller, our General Counsel, and Eleanor Hill, our new Inspector General. It has a variety of other people from all parts of the Department who have some knowledge or background in matters where the Department of Defense has dealt with Guatemala, ranging from the Inspector General of the Army, the Inspector General of the National Security Agency, experts in the Joint Staff who deal in Western Hemisphere matters, our Deputy to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Lin Wells, a variety of people, Walter Jajko, our Assistant to the Secretary for Intelligence Oversight. This group, this Guatemala Review Panel, has been charged today to find out every bit of information that we have on all Department of Defense activities with respect to Guatemala from 1988 to the present. All elements of all our activities in Guatemala. That will include intelligence activities, it will include operations, it will include Department of Defense counter drug activities, it will include elements which we have done when we have supported other departments or the Guatemalan government in one way or the other. The Secretary wants to be informed on every aspect of our activities in Guatemala, so there will be a complete picture, and a way of informing the President, who is intensely interested in this matter; the Congress; and the public about the conduct of Department of Defense personnel in Guatemala.
We will not speak on this matter determinatively until we have completed that review and that inquiry and gathering of all information.
The one matter I want to state to you is that the Secretary of Defense will hold people accountable for their conduct, but will not act until there has been a thorough review of the facts and all the information is gathered. This is a very important matter for us, and we are going to look at every nook and cranny. We have already... Immediately upon hearing abut this allegation, we have secured all areas that we know where there is material available that bears on the subject in the Army and NSA and elsewhere. Judy Miller, our General Counsel; Eleanor Hill, our Inspector General, have been charged today by me to carry out this inquiry which will give us all information on our activities in Guatemala, at which point we will be able to speak in a knowledgeable way about different allegations that are raised.
At present, we do not have any concrete information that would resolve any of the many allegations which have been made here.
Q: Is it possible to say whether there was any... You may not have the full picture, but if there were no Army special ops operating in Guatemala, you could tell us that now, or if you believe that there were. Yes, there were, but you don't know the extent or what they did...
A: We do not have an inventory at present of all of our activities which the Secretary, the Deputy Secretary can look at, of all of our activities in Guatemala. We are going to go through the process of finding all that out. We've asked our two most experienced and capable investigators, Judy Miller and Eleanor Hill, to lead a group to do this for us. It is only when we have that information that we can make a responsible and informed answer to these questions.
Q: Why have you included the DoD counter drug activities as part of...
A: I thought I said counter drug.
Q: Why have you?
A: Because there are activities where the Department has been involved in counter drug activities in Central America, and it is a candidate which may have had, there may have been activities in Guatemala, so that will be one of the areas that is reviewed. I'm not saying there is anything the matter here. I'm not saying there is any specific counter drug activity. I'm saying we're going to look everywhere. That's why I went through intelligence, operations, counter drug, and support to assure, to give you the impression that this is a complete review of all of our activities.
Q: At present have you found any evidence of any destruction of any documents or records?
A: No.
Q: Do you have any reason to question the veracity of the letter that started this whole matter? There was a report today that the man named Daniel D. Day, who was accused of shredding documents at the NSA, does not even work in the area of Guatemala, where he would have access to these documents. Do you have any reason to question the anonymous letter...
A: I have no reason at this time, and there is no information available to us in the Office of the Secretary of Defense to support or refute any of these allegations. That's why this review, this Guatemala Review Group, has been formed.
Thank you all very much.

Friday is here.
You know what has changed when you work for yourself and barely get out of your pajamas? The days of the week do not matter as much. I find myself not getting as pumped up for Friday like I used to. Strange but true.
Lately, I have been getting lots of email requests of even just requests on the "street" about doing some traditional dishes but making them healthy. I guess I kind of take this for granted in the kitchen and literally just cook with what I have on hand, whether it be heavy cream vs skim milk or vice versa.
But today will be easy and healthy.
And only a few ingredients. I am actually going to use cauliflower to make the cream sauce for the pasta. Fun isn't it?
Ingredients ( Serves 4-6)
- Linguine, uncooked
- Shrimp, deveined and peeled
- 2 Cups Cauliflower
- 1 Cup Skim milk
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- Parsley
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees and line a sheet with parchment. Toss cauliflower in 1/2 the olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 10 minutes
- Remove from oven and set aside.
- Cook the linguine according to directions and stay on target with the timing ( Don't over cook)
- In a large saute pan add olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and 1 cup of the cauliflower. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Take the remaining cauliflower, half the Parmesan and place in a blender with the milk and blend until creamy. Pour into a sauce pot and begin to heat on low-medium for 3 minutes.
- Drain pasta and set aside in colander, ( reserving a little bit of the pasta water)
- Add the shrimp into the pan and cook quickly, ensuring not to over cook the shrimp ( about 2 minutes)
- Add the creamed sauce to the pan, stirring to coat the shrimp, garlic and cauliflower.
- Add the cooked linguine and remaining Parmesan cheese ( if the sauce is too thick you can add a little bit of the reserved pasta water)
- Top with fresh parsley
Zesty Tip: You could substitute skim milk for almond milk, coconut milk or even soy milk depending on your tastes and or allergies.
I didn't want to overload the tip section but you can easily make this vegetarian by trying tofu in place of the shrimp or maybe even going with tempeh. The options are endless. I really just wanted to share with you on how to make the traditional heavy cream sauce into a lighter and healthier option.
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. I will see you on Monday.
Take care

A Spanish-language version of the Skins fight song debuts
- This pic of a Skins fan playing a gold vuvuzela never gets old. (Photo: Jay Westcott)
There are certainly a lot of musical tributes to the Redskins flying around this season. One of the coolest: "Viva Los Redskins," a Spanish-language ode to the team that will debut this weekend.
WTOP's Andrew Mollenbeck reports that the reworked version of the fight song "Hail to the Redskins" is "part of the team's effort to celebrate Hispanic fans, players and staff" during Redskins Hispanic Heritage Week.
"The thing that makes that song ("Hail to the Redskins") great is also the thing that makes the Spanish language version so irresistible," Michael Garin, one of the co-creators of the track, told Mollenbeck. "There's something about that song that just gets everybody's blood going, and there's something about that music that gets everybody's blood going, and when you put it together, boy, oh boy, what can I say but 'Viva Los Redskins.'"
The song is, in a word, awesome. Listen to it at Michael Garin's website, or buy it on iTunes.
And, if you happen to own a ball team, Garin and his songwriting partners are currently offering translations and recordings of any and all fight songs for a reasonable rate. But, they refuse to do one for "That Team From Texas," according to their site. ¡Que Vivan Los Redskins!

Narain Karthikeyan will replace Tonio Liuzzi and not Daniel Ricciardo at HRT for next weekend's Indian GP.
Karthikeyan was dropped by the team ahead of the British GP to make way for Ricciardo. However, at the time there were reports that he would return to action at his inaugural home race, the Indian GP.
This was confirmed by HRT last month, who put Karthikeyan in the car in Friday's first practice at the Japanese and Korean GPs in order to get him up to speed.
And although it was initially thought that he would take his race-seat back from Ricciardo, HRT have confirmed that it is in fact Liuzzi who he will be filling in for.
"Driving in front of the home crowd cheering on is going to be a surreal experience. A once in a lifetime experience and I feel extremely fortunate," said Karthikeyan.
"There is a huge buzz around the Grand Prix already and I'm sure that it'll be a resounding success that will motivate more youngsters towards the sport and give us the future F1 drivers.
"Making it into F1 at the time I did was a seriously uphill task and the thought of being able to compete in the inaugural Indian GP was non-existent. But it is finally here and I'll be on the grid."
Karthikeyan reckons the layout of the Buddh International circuit means the Formula One drivers are in for a "challenging" experience next weekend.
"It is going to be one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar. There are points at which, if you're in an F1 car, you will see nothing but the sky.
"The layout itself is going to put tremendous energy through the tyres and the strategy will play a key role in the final result. For sure I'll race hard and try to get a good result for myself and the team.
"I would like to ex press my gratitude towards Tata Group and the rest of sponsors for their continued support and belief throughout my career."

Reservoir is the debut album of the London-based indie folk band Fanfarlo. The album was recorded in October and November 2008 at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States and was produced by Peter Katis. It includes the bands featured singles "Fire Escape" and "Harold T. Wilkins, or How to Wait for a Very Long Time," which were released on preceding EPs. Three further singles, "Drowning Men", "The Walls Are Coming Down" and "I'm A Pilot" were released from the album in the summer of 2009.
Sigur Rós's singer Jón Þór Birgisson suggested Lilja Birgisdottir, the sister of Czech photographer Jan Saudek when they were looking for art for the album cover. Fanfarlo chose a photograph which contained Sigurrós, the little sister of Jón Þór Birgisson, and the namesake of the band Sigur Rós.
In the UK a strictly limited edition red box set version of the album was released to a selection of independent record stores, containing numerous art cards and the album tied with red and white string.
The album was released by Raffle Bat Records in the United Kingdom in April 2009.
The album was released on September 29, 2009 in the United States on Canvasback Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. The American release features a gray-tinted version of the cover photograph and contains no interior booklet. To promote the album in the United States, Atlantic Records released a single for "Harold T. Wilkins or How To Wait For A Very Long Time" in January 2010 and funded a new music video for the song.

Fanfarlo is a London-based indie pop band formed in 2006 by Swedish musician Simon Balthazar and Giles J Davis (who subsequently left before the release of the first single). They fuse elements of folk, indie rock and post punk using eclectic instrumentation including trumpet, violin, mandolin, musical saw and clarinet.
The band, whose name comes from the Charles Baudelaire novella 'La Fanfarlo', started performing live in small London indie clubs in 2006, and released four limited edition 7" singles on London-based indie labels (one of which a split single with Sleeping States) throughout 2006-2008.
Their debut album, 'Reservoir', was recorded in October/November 2008 at Tarquin Studios, Connecticut, USA and was produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol). The album was released in February 2009 on the band's own label Raffle Bat and later licensed to the Atlantic imprint Canvasback, who released it in the UK and US in October 2009 and in Europe in April 2010.
Their single 'The Walls Are Coming Down' was released during September 2009. The music video for the single was directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard and features escape artist Roslyn Walker performing the Hanging Straitjacket Escape, a stunt first performed by Harry Houdini in the early 1900s. The stunt was also incorporated into the band's show at Webster Hall in New York on December 19, 2009 (this time by escape artist Michael Lee).
* Amos Memon - drums & percussion, vocals
* Cathy Lucas - violin, keys, mandolin, glock, vocals, musical saw
* Justin Finch - bass, vocals
* Leon Beckenham - trumpet, keyboards, glockenspiel, melodica, vocals
* Simon Balthazar - vocals, guitar, keyboards, mandolin, saxophone, clarinet
On 24 September 2009, the song 'Ghosts' from the band's debut album 'Reservoir' featured in Season 6 Episode 2 of Grey's Anatomy. The band's 2007 single 'Fire Escape' featured in Season 6 Episode 4 of Fox's medical drama House on 12 October 2009.
On 15 February 2010, the band made their US television debut appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman performing their single 'Harold T. Wilkins, or How to Wait for a Very Long Time'. They have subsequently also performed on Last Call with Carson Dalyhttp and French Canal Plus.
In 2010, their songs Comets and Luna were featured in the Portuguese independent film Um Funeral à Chuva (literally, A Funeral in the Rain).
Their song 'Atlas' is featured on the The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (soundtrack). The song was re-recorded in Austin, TX specially for the film and was documented in Episode III of their web series, "Under the Reservoir."
In 2010, a short section of the song "The Walls Are Coming Down" from their album, "Reservoir" was featured in an television advert for the New "Canon Powershot Sx210 IS" digital camera.
Their song 'Harold T. Wilkins, or How to Wait for a Very Long Time' featured in the soundtrack to the 2010 film "Going the Distance".
Their song 'The Walls Are Coming Down' is played during the trailer of the 2011 film Win Win directed by Tom McCartney.
In March 2010, video artist Brian Gonzalezhttp followed the band on their third time playing SXSW music festival in Austin, TX that resulted in a four-part web series entitled Under the Reservoir which premiered on their site June 14, 2010. Each episode uniquely brings to life the two ominous girls on the cover of their debut album while intimately embarking on personal experiences of the band on the road.

DragonFly-1.0 RELEASED!-
12 July 2004+
DragonFly-1.2.0 RELEASE PENDING!+
08 April 2005
+Stay tuned this space, the 1.2.0 release is about to occur! +-
-One year after starting the project as a fork off the FreeBSD-4.x tree, -the DragonFly Team -is pleased to announce our 1.0 release!- -
-We've made remarkable progress in our first year. We have replaced nearly -all of the core threading, process, interrupt, and network infrastructure -with DragonFly native subsystems. We have our own MP-friendly slab allocator, -a Light Weight Kernel Threading (LWKT) system that is separate from the -dynamic userland scheduler, a fine-grained system timer abstraction for -kernel use, a fully integrated light weight messaging system, and a core -IPI (Inter Processor Interrupts) messaging system for inter-processor -communications.- -
-We have managed to retain 4.x's vaunted stability throughout the development -process, despite ripping out and replacing major subsystems, and we have -a demonstratively superior coding model which is both UP (Uni-Processor) and -MP (Multi-Processor) friendly and which is nearly as efficient on UP systems -as the original 4.x UP-centric code is on UP systems.- -
-We have made excellent progress bringing in those pieces from FreeBSD, NetBSD, -and OpenBSD that fit our model. For example, NEWBUS/BUS_DMA, the USB -infrastructure, RCNG (next generation system startup infrastructure), and -so forth. We have made an excellent start on reformulating the build -and release infrastructure including an excellent new system installer -which, while still in its infancy for the 1.0 release, has been coded in -a manner that will allow us to greatly improve and expand its capabilities -in coming months.- -
-We have done so much that it cannot all be listed here. Please check out the -Diary for -technical details.- -
-The two largest user-visible subsystems that still have major work pending -are the userland threading and ports/packages subsystems. People will find -that the DragonFly-1.0 release is still using the old 4.x pthreads model, -and at the moment we are relying on the FreeBSD ports tree with DragonFly -specific overrides for third party application support... about as severe a -hack as it is possible to have. These two stop-gap items will be at the -forefront of the work for the next year, along with a major move to start -removing the BGL (Big Giant Lock, also known as the MP lock) from code -inherited from 4.x, threading the VFS (Virtual File System) subsystem (the -network subsystem is already threaded as of 1.0), and implementing -asynchronously messaged system calls. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, -for we will be achieving far more in the coming year!

Welcome to the Kid's Therapy Center
All children are very different. They react and respond to care differently and therefore, the approach to physical therapy should be tailored to that child's needs. We at Kids' Therapy Center™ believe that therapy should not only be a caring gentle process, but also a motivating and challenging experience.
What type of conditions do we treat?
At Kids' Therapy Center™, we treat a large spectrum of pediatric conditions from minor muscle sprains to post surgical repairs. Children with such pediatric conditions as cerebral palsy, delayed motor development, scoliosis, torticolis, knee injury, back and neck injury, shoulder pain, and autism, can find care and guidance at Kids' Therapy Center™.
What is treatment like?
As your child comes for therapy he/she can expect to spend each treatment session with a qualified and licensed physical therapist. The care given at Kids' Therapy Center™ is directed towards a functional improvement in your childs activities of daily living and overall performance. Each physical therapy session will be tailored to the child's specific needs and abilities. Exercise is an important part of our strengthening, conditioning, and coordination program, so please have your child wear comfortable clothing for his sessions.
Does insurance cover this treatment?
Most insurances are accepted. Please consult with the front desk upon arrival. If you do have questions please feel free to call the office at any time. * In order to provide adequate time for your child's treatment, appointments are necessary and promptness is important.

New Bike Fit
|In addition to including all of the analysis and steps in the Existing Bike Fitting, the New Bike Fit also includes the use of computer design software designed specifically with the Size Cycle to help you find the frame/bike options that match your position as best as possible.We will review options with you and discuss how the characteristics of each frame and component you are considering match up with your riding style, body and needs. If you do not purchase a bike at the time of your fitting, you will receive a form documenting key bike frame geometry ranges as well as top recommendations for bike models and sizes that fit you well.The cost of a good fit is paid back instantly. By knowing what you need before you buy a new bike, you will save time and money by not having to go through frustrating and expensive component swaps after the fact or realizing that you bought a frame or part that simply doesn't work well for you.
2.5-4 hours. $375 w/out bike purchase. Only $175 with bike purchase.
$200 of this fit may be credited towards the purchase of a new bike at anytime.
Note: Comprehensive CAD custom frame design templates (down to the mm) are available for an additional fee with this fitting without bike purchase. Please inquire.
Fitting Steps
Not all fit systems are the same or produce consistent results. We pride ourselves on viewing rider positioning scientifically and using a system that we have developed through our training, background and experience. We offer attention to detail that is found in only a very small number of places in the country and we offer an array of services that is unparalleled in any other single location.
|1) Comprehensive Interview
Every Fit Werx fit starts with a detailed interview that covers everything from your cycling goals and riding habits, to injuries as well as existing problems with your current bike fit.
|2) Limb and Skeletal Measurements
By taking skeletal measurements, we determine starting points and gain knowledge on how your body is proportioned. It is important to note that these measurements are designed to give us general perspective as to how you are proportioned and do not directly determine the end riding position.
|3) Range of Motion and Stability Analysis
We assess your range of motion, flexibility and stability in key cycling muscle groups so that we can properly align your body and build a position around your individual capabilities and needs. This helps us maximize your strength, comfort and efficiency on the bike.
|4) Biomechanical Alignment Assessment and Cleat Alignment
Strong buildings are built on strong foundations. A good fit is not any different. By assessing your skeletal structure for functional and structural limb length differences and reviewing the dynamics of your foot and leg biomechanics, we can stabilize your feet and legs for greater power, comfort and injury prevention. Often we will recommend custom cycling footbeds and cant wedges to accommodate for pronation/supination and forefoot varus/valgus. We make sure to put your feet, legs, pedals and shoes into the most aligned and powerful position possible.
|5) Digital Motion Analysis Size Cycle Positioning Session w/Pressure Scan
When used properly, an infinitely adjustable Size Cycle is the best fit tool available. Modern video analysis technology makes it even better by allowing you to see your riding technique and key positions and angles during and after your fitting. In this step, we place you on the Size Cycle and work with you to build your position.Computerized motion analysis technology, from companies like Dartfish, Retul and CompuTrainer, is used to make sure your body is aligned precisely, to record your position and key angles, and to review the efficiency of your pedal stroke.A Fit Werx fitting includes a preliminary gebioMized pressure scan to assess saddle pressure, pelvic tracking and balance. We also discuss and demonstrate muscle recruitment patterns, riding techniques and drills that can help you better understand and maximize your pedaling economy. The end result is a position that is as efficient and comfortable as possible.To read more about motion analysis for bicycle fitting, click here.To read more about pressure scanning for bicycle fitting, click here.
|6) Apply the data
We take the results of your fitting from the size cycle and build a computer design template to find the production bikes that fit you best or to design and build the ride of your dreams. Once the best fitting options are known, we'll discuss the other important variables beyond fit to help guarantee that you make as confident and as informed decision as possible. This guarantees that you not only get a bike that fits as well as possible, but that also rides as well as possible for your individual needs. There is no reason to compromise.

Democrats and Republicans both came out swinging on Wednesday morning as the House Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee opened its second hearing on keeping the precious Internet bandwidth available to one and all.
Congressional Republicans have introduced resolutions of disapproval to recall regulations enacted by the Federal Communications Commission in December. The regulations are designed to prevent Internet providers from blocking websites that use a lot of bandwidth, such as video-streaming sites like Netflix. Republicans say rules are unnecessary and illegal.
Democrats called Republican efforts to overturn the FCC's net neutrality rules destructive and said the GOP-backed resolution of disapproval isn't based on facts.
"My concern is that there is an enormous disconnect between the facts and the majority's policy objectives," Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said as the hearing opened.
"There is no crisis warranting intervention," House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said in his opening statement. "The reality is, if the FCC was truly weighing the costs and benefits of its actions, the agency would not be attempting to regulate the Internet."
Witnesses at Wednesday's hearing include representatives of AT&T, Free Press, RapidDSL, and Buzzcar, as well as Strategic Choices and Northwestern University.
In his prepared testimony, Free Press Research Director Derek Turner said that rather than overreaching, the FCC rules do not go far enough.
"Allowing gatekeepers to erect barriers to speech and commerce is an unacceptable outcome, and public policy should be used to prevent it," Turner wrote.
AT&T's Vice President for Legislative Affairs James Cicconi will reiterate his company's position that although the rules are not perfect, they are better than the alternatives. This puts AT&T at odds with other major telecom carriers like Verizon, which has launched a lawsuit against the regulations. Cicconi will argue that the prolonged debate over net neutrality rules simply creates uncertainty for the marketplace.
"For far too long, the question of net neutrality has hamstrung the Federal Communications Commission and our industry and prevented needed action on far more urgent, and real, problems... but more important than the distraction has been the investment uncertainty created by the extended and public debate over whether the FCC should adopt net neutrality rules, and if so, how far they should go," Cicconi wrote in his prepared remarks.
In written statements provided to the committee, Steve Largenty President and CEO of CTIA, the wireless association, repeast his argument that "we do not believe that net neutrality rules are necessary for the wireless industry" while National Cable and Telecommunications Association President and CEO Kyle McSlarrow reasserts that "such rules were a solution in search of a problem".
"We would much rather see (and believe it would be more equitable to have) a light regulatory touch for everyone in the Internet ecosystem than a heavy and counterproductive regulatory regime on part or all of the Internet ecosystem," McSlarrow said in the statement.

After adjourning for a speech by the Australian prime minister, the subcommittee will reconvene to hear testimony, and in a markup scheduled for immediately after the hearing, vote on the resolution. Democrats have complained that because the resolution cannot be amended, they have no meaningful input.

Linux has been growing in popularity, now enjoying a higher market share than Mac OS. However, I fear that in all the hype and hysteria, the dangers have not had enough attention. We face a real possibility that the future of the creativity will be a barren world: a "tragedy of the digital commons" in which no one will create any content.
The truth is that Linux is one of the biggest threats to human creativity worldwide Some of you will find that statement remarkable, but it is true. As Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer has said, "Linux is cancer." Ken Brown of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution has said that: "Linux is a leprosy; and is having a deleterious effect on the U.S. IT industry because it is steadily depreciating the value of the software industry sector."
Moreover, because it is uncontrolled by a single entity, and because the source code is freely available and open to modification by anyone, it is a key way that pirated content can find its way onto the internet. Put a copy-protected CD into a Windows machine, and the copy protection kicks in. (OK you can get round it at the moment by doing things like pressing Shift while you put the CD in, but that's just teething troubles.) But put a copy-protected CD into Linux and it just ignores the copy protection. The software on Linux to rip CDs does not check whether publishers want their CDs copied. It will be easy to legislate against Microsoft's and Apple's tools that allow copying, but Linux is just too uncontrolled.
Fortunately, the US Congress is waking up the the threat of the tragedy of the digital commons. A new bill introduced to the US House Judiciary Committee before Christmas would ban the "analog hole". In other words, any equipment that can play music or films, like a DVD player or CD player, would be banned from having analogue outputs that could be used to pirate the content. Any outputs would have to use a "rights signaling system". Of course, certain professionals need access to analogue outputs and of course they would be allowed to have them.
That's the hardware side. But we will not succeed in fighting the evil of piracy unless we also deal with the software side. At the moment it is too easy to write software that can pirate content. Linux is just an anarchy and we need to ensure that all computer motherboards sold prevent Linux from being installed. We need a licensing scheme, headed by the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization, for all programming tools so that only trusted individuals may use them, and that inappropriate use of them is communicated via the internet to the government. To put it simply, either Linux dies – or the whole of human creativity will become a stagnant swamp. Anyone who disagrees with this is a communist.

I love that you quote yourself! Can't find anybody else to agree with you?!
Another Republican band wagon!
Last election they were all "mavericks"! That fizzled as soon as the election was over!
So if real accomplishments can't get them elected, let's go back to veiled racism!
I'd like to hear the "Big Government" rant now!
Where are all those people who were objecting to being called on the carpet for texting while driving?
Smoke and mirrors! Will accomplish little!
I agree that illegals are breaking the law and taking advantage! But, let's do something that really solves the problem! Why not jail the guy who is hiring and making the big money on this deal! Otherwise, you are beating the dog, when dad blows the fart!
natetrees: I have been an immigrant in the USA for more than 50 years. Nobody ever told me that I had to carry my papers at all times. The USA has not been a police state so far! You started with an untruth and ended with bologna!
To SAM
I have lived and worked in Mexico...legally. I do agree that people should be here legally also. However, some of the services you mentioned are available in Mexico just because they have a more worldly attitude!
Many bureaucrats speak English because of their proximity to the United States. (If you have ever been a tourist in Mexico, you know that many people speak English!) Many legal forms are printed in both languages. There are bilingual "American" schools in most major cities. Most countries including Mexico are taught much more about our culture than we know about theirs! We flew the American Flag and had fireworks on the Fourth of July...our neighbors enjoyed our celebrations. It is quite easy to get a driver's licence in Mexico (Actually too easy! We did not even go, just sent a friend with our picture!).
I do not know about healthcare in Mexico because I was never sick, but I broke my leg in Italy, and recieved totally free healthcare as a tourist.
We need to have a sensible discussion of the illegal immigrant problem. Like it or not, the world is shrinking and we need to make laws that really work.
You do not know what you don't know!
All Europeans, Asians and anyone else you want to mention have not come here legally! And not only illegal Mexicans commit crimes here. You have to check out, Russian, Italian, Japanese mafias and Samoan gangs! They continue to bring in illegals and traffic in people.
Immigration laws should not just scapegoat easy targets! We need sensible laws that provide real protection for American!
The rich Republican that is benefitting from the illegal working in his business is not cleaning his own toilet or watching his own kids. This same rich Republican is also happy that you sheep can be agitated enough during an election year so that nothing of substances gets done to solve the problem and make him stop profiting from the situation.
"You are here because of me and you better vote for me!"
Is this how the Repulicans did it? Most of the ilegal Mexicans are in "red" states or states that have a Republican governor.
When you have myopia, you will miss a lot!
The rich Republican businessman is not going to advertise that he is paying people under the table or hiring illegal household help! He is more likely to donate to some careeer politician who knows how to stir up the sheep just to get into the papers.
Just one example:
"Linda Chavez withdrew as President-elect George W. Bush's nominee for secretary of labor on Tuesday. She was under fire for providing housing and cash to an illegal immigrant who did chores in Chavez's home, although she denies she was paying for housework."
St. Petersberg Times, published January 10, 2001
Red states and states with Rupublican govenors have the most illegal aliens from Mexico. So that must mean that
Illegal Aliens = Votes for Republicans
Unless she has had a bad record for the past 11 years, this was too harsh a punishment. It seems the rule was arbitrarily enforced because she had done it previously.
Why should ex-convicts get government jobs that pay a good wage and come with benefits? Ex-convicts should prove their worth first and start from the bottom up. Let them do the jobs that the illegal aliens do now...most Americans do not want to do this low-paying back-breaking work anyway!
to angry citizen1
By definition a felony is not a small error in judgment!
If the only two alternatives you see are (1) get a job by lying by omission or (2) become a doped-up drunken leach then you do not have drive or imagination. It is this lack of fortitude that got you in trouble in the first place.
Yeah! I m glad that you explained that to me!
But, tell that to my dead mother and my permanently injured dad. I just do not think that they are feeling paid back while their home-invading killers are doing time in prison. What adds insult to injury, while they are getting a free ride and medical care to which my dad is contributing through his tax dollars, my dad is spending his last dime on homecare to help him get dressed and eat!
Nobody values family more than people in the red states! After all, don't they love to marry their sisters!!
Cue the dueling banjos, please!
I have a friend who is 60 years old. He and his parents were born in the United States. His grandparents were from Sicily. Every time he crosses the border to go the casino or dinner in Windsor, his car gets searched and he is questioned. A mutual friend of ours who is a retired customs worker said that he is under suspicion because he fits "the profile"...he looks Arabic. So he is guilty of having Phoenicians invading Sicily a couple thousand years ago!
It seems to me that this restaurant chain is limiting its customer base because they narrowly define what is considered attractive...Marilyn Monroe would probably not have qualified for a job. I guess a private business can enforce any stupid rule they want.
I am thinking of opening a restaurant called "Peckers". Sorry, this young lady need not apply!

Kennedy Middle School volunteers in the brain-research study also get smarter about navigating traffic in Natick. (Jared Leeds)
Ratey, Shaw, and Thornton approached Natick Public Schools Superintendent Peter Sanchioni with the idea for the study. Sanchioni was already a big believer in the connection between exercise and cognitive ability. He'd seen it in action. About four years ago Kathleen Tullie, the mother of a Natick elementary-school student, was inspired by Spark to start a before-school fitness program run by parent volunteers. The program quickly gained media attention and spread across the country. Today Tullie's program, called Build Our Kids' Success, receives funding from the Reebok Foundation and has expanded to two dozen schools around the United States.
Impressed with Tullie's success, Sanchioni pushed to insert an additional fitness component into the district's middle-school curriculum. When Natick's Kennedy Middle School replaced a floating "extra academic" class period with a high-intensity fitness class taught by Noel Vigue, a former Boston University strength and conditioning coach, "teachers were telling us they could see the difference," Sanchioni said. "Those kids came in from that fitness period on target, ready to learn."
Shaw and Thornton asked for permission to set up their study at Natick's two middle schools. Sanchioni agreed. Specialized then shipped thirty $400 Hard-rock bikes to Landry's Bicycles in town, where mechanics assembled them and trucked them over to Mike Hill.
AT THE TOP of a long, gentle rise, Hill stopped his line of riders to do a data check. "What's your heart rate?" he said.
One kid called out, "Ninety-four!"
"Ninety-four?" said Hill. "Check that again. If you're at 94, you're dead."
Other numbers come out. One-ninety-one. One-seventy-seven.
Hill turned to one of the kids. "Whattaya got, Matt?"
"Aw, ya make me sick." The kids grinned.
As they pedaled off along the route, Hill shook his head. "Matt's amazing," he said. "Kid can pedal uphill all day, heart rate never tops 130."
This is a big part of the program. Instead of trying to win a race, the kids focus on finding and maintaining their ideal heart rate. For some it'll be in the 170s, for others it's the 120s. "We want them to keep that 65- to 85-percent-of-max heart rate," said Noel Vigue, now Kennedy's fitness teacher. "That's going to look different on every kid."
At the end of the ride, the kids recorded their maximum speed and average heart rate before racing off to class. "Don't forget to take your helmet!" Hill called out.
As the last kid scuttled away, Hill closed the data binder and reflected on the monthlong experiment. "I have an interest in anything that will improve kids' performance and behavior in class," he told me. "And I know exercise does. I don't have empirical data like [Shaw and Thornton] will, but I've seen it. Kids come in after a bike ride, they do better in class."
Across town at Kennedy Middle School a few hours later, Shaw and Thornton set up equipment designed to capture that empirical data. As the Wilson students ended their four-week program, the Kennedy students were just about to start their own.
"We've got a few kids we still need to get baseline data on," Shaw said as she calibrated a balance monitor.
In an adjacent room Thornton fitted EEG swim caps on the heads of two young volunteers. The caps measured their electrical brain impulses as they executed a number of cognitive tasks. "Watch this one for a minute," Thornton said. A computer screen flashed images of animals. The EEG-capped students were told to push a button when the same image flashed twice in a row. "It's incredibly boring," he said. "It's meant to be that way." The program pushed a student's attention span to its breaking point, he said. When they start missing double images, you know they're losing focus. "We'll test them again at the end of the four-week riding period," Thornton explained, to see whether their attention span has changed.
