The Xperia S is Sony's best offering in its NXT series of handsets. While the hardware of the phone is nothing to go gaga about, 1.5GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4.3-inch 720p HD display and 32GB of internal memory, it is the camera on the handset that is the true showstopper. The 12MP camera on the Xperia S can take some stunning pictures in ultra-quick time. The handset is also able to record 1080p HD videos with decent quality and resolved detail.
However, trust the folks over XDA forums to make the best even better! Thanks to a mod from XDA senior member, somemadcaaant, Xperia S owners can enjoy even higher quality images and video recording from their handset. By default, the Xperia S captures images with 90% jpeg compression. Thanks to the mod, Xperia S owners can now capture images with 0% jpeg compression, thus leading to less noise in their photos.
The mod also brings a significant improvement in the quality of videos recorded by the handset. The mod bumps up the 1080p video recording bitrate to 20Mbps (stock 14.9Mbps), along with increasing the 720p videos bitrate from a pathetic 6Mbps to 15Mbps.
The mod requires users to have root access on their handset though. The steps to install the mods along with all the required files can be found over at this thread on XDA forums.

MOAB 690xt
This seemed like it would be easy by the videos I watched...HOWEVER..the front & back basket bars did not line up. I did not have anyone one to help as I live in BFE. This advise is suggested and should be taken. But after several attempts and some adult language I got it put together. Also the front shield does NOT snap in easy. The Locking caps...the very last step, did not go on. The video shows metal parts. Mine were all plastic. I even had a male friend look it over for suggestions. I will not write his advice here...

The law is constantly changing, adapting to the needs of an evolving world. Perhaps no niche in legal practice better illustrates this point than communications law, where technological advancements and the creation of new sectors of the economy have drastically altered the dynamics of the industry over the past century.
To address the changing face of communications law and provide students with perspectives on how to enter the field, Miami Law hosted a panel discussion this week with leading practitioners in communications law. The panel – hosted by the Federal Communications Bar Association, Ask Us, and the Intellectual Property Law Society – included Jaime Bianchi, a partner at White & Case; Matthew Leibowitz, founder and principal of Leibowitz & Associates; Dana McElroy, partner at Thomas & LoCicero; Gary Resnick, shareholder at GrayRobinson and mayor of Wilton Manors, Florida; and Osvaldo Torres, principal at Torres Law, P.A.
Communications law traces its roots to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Congress created the Federal Communications Commission in 1934 with the purpose of regulating the radio industry. Over time, television supplanted radio as the primary means by which American families consumed news and entertainment content in their homes. As a result, the scope of the Commission's authority was forced to broaden to keep pace with the evolving technology. With each successive technological innovation – whether cable and satellite television, cellular phones or the Internet – the Commission has had to reassess its mission and regulatory purpose. As such, the ever-changing regulatory climate has created an equally busy area of legal practice.
"The technology, the law, and social policy are never in balance," said Leibowitz, a Miami Law alumnus. He noted that there is a "constant dynamic" that arises from that imbalance, whether in wireless, cable franchising or other fields. "It's constantly moving," he said.
A direct result of the constant fluctuation in the communications industry has been the need for ever-diverse legal services. Whereas communications law used to bend heavily towards First Amendment and defamation issues in print journalism, the rise of cable, Internet and telecommunications companies has created myriad other legal issues, many of which the panelists deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Resnick's entry into communications law coincided with a watershed moment in the telephone industry, the breakup of AT&T. After attending Rutgers Law School, Resnick moved to Washington D.C. and went to work for Sidley Austin, a firm that was working on the breakup of the telecommunication giant. Through his experience at Sidley Austin, Resnick learned much about the technologies of the day, which, when compared with technologies now in use, are largely obsolete.
Nevertheless, his experience with the AT&T breakup helped forge his next career move. After leaving Sidley Austin, Resnick went to work for the D.C. office of a Los Angeles law firm. One of his new clients owned a radio station in California, so Resnick became intimately involved with FCC licensing and regulatory procedures. From radio, he then went on to represent large cable companies in complex litigation matters, experience that would ultimately help him secure a position as in-house counsel for Continental Cablevision. Ultimately, when Continental (then known as MediaOne) came to be acquired by AT&T, Resnick, not wanting to work for the company he once helped break up, decided it was time to move on.
Like Resnick, Bianchi's entry into the field of communications law was largely a matter of happenstance. "I came into the industry as a litigator," Bianchi said. After graduating law school in 1991, he went to work at a boutique litigation firm in Miami, where one of the biggest clients was a large cable company. There, he specialized in a sector of litigation that dealt largely with the consumer side of the cable industry. Although now a partner at White & Case, Bianchi did not start his career with a "big law" position. Rather, he worked for a small practice that had "a lot of interesting clients" in the communications industry, he said. Those clients wound up taking Bianchi's career into "a lot of very interesting, and profitable, places."
Bianchi encouraged students who wish to practice in communications not to focus immediately after graduating on the jobs that pay the highest salary. "Rather than seeking top dollar, pick the good job, even if it means very little up front, because if you're in the right place, you're going to do a lot better than at the place that merely pays you more," he advised. "From those contacts and experiences, your career will grow," he added, a sentiment in which all the panelists concurred.
A third-year law student, Kara Romagnino, came up with the idea of the panel and "worked extremely hard with us on the event," said Greg Levy, Director of Miami Law's Post-Graduate Student Service Fellow program, who noted that Romagnino "even got all the attorneys" to participate. Romagnino is involved with the Federal Communications Bar Association and hopes to practice in communications law.

Class Number: 1777
Is knowledge based on reason or perception? Is belief in God incompatible with reason? What are the foundations of morality? These sorts of questions were first articulated in the modern period. We will consider answers to these questions as given by a range of modern philosophers that may include Descartes, Hume, Locke, Kant, Mill, Nietzsche, and Wollstonecraft. Our aim will be to understand these philosophers responses to each other and to evaluate their arguments and thereby develop our own views.

What is the setting of the book The Giver?
4 Answers | Add Yours
The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is set in a futuristic dystopian / utopian society. Based on the evidence in the text, the place where Jonas lives seems to be a fairly small community. The community is by a river, which comes up often in the plot (at one point, a four year old boy name Caleb drowns in the river).
The various places within the community include:
The Nursery, the Nurturing Center, the Childcare Center, the Department of Justice, the school, the fish hatchery, the House of the Old, the Rehabilitation Center, the Hall of Open Records, the Hall of Closed Records, the Auditorium (where public events are held, such as the ceremony of twelves), and various family houses (called units or dwellings).
Also, there is a Annex, where the Giver / Receiver lives. It is special and noteworthy because it is the only place in the entire community that has locks on the doors, indicating the Giver / Receiver's unique status in the community.
A VERY important setting is also "Elsewhere," which is what the members of this community call anywhere that is beyond the community. At the very end of the novel, Jonas escapes the community and supposedly makes it to the mysterious "Elsewhere."
The setting of the book is a managed community in a futuristic society. Jonas lives in a place where everything is regulated so that the unexpected never happens. In Jonas' society everybody has the perfect family unit, the perfect job, and even perfect weather. The book opens as Jonas is approaching 12 years old and waiting to find out what his adult career assignment will be.
the nurturing center
the house of old}
the comunity
the ceremony of twelve
The setting was in a community with no colors, emotion, etc. Basically taking their rights away if they can't pick their jobs too.

Homicides in Cleveland rise to 34
James W. Wade III | 5/14/2014, 9:19 a.m.
Cleveland's crime rate is getting bad, maybe not as bad as Chicago, and it is getting worst with the passing of each month. To date, there have been 34.
Not only are the men committing crimes, a lot of females wreaking havoc too. When you look at fights in high schools and see the girl gangs are bigger and causing more trouble, it makes you stop and wonder what's going on.
The days of having a fist fight has long gone. Now, if you are not carrying a gun, I guess you are not considered cool. It's bad enough men have jumped on women in the past but now they have started shooting them.
Monday night, a 22 year old woman was shot in the area of E.123rd near Ohlman Avenue. This incident happened at approximately 8 p.m. The investigation reveals officers received a call to respond the area of E.110 and St. Clair in connection with a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located the victim who had suffered a gunshot wound to the face as well as a male companion.
When the police arrived, the victim was conscious and alert. The victim and witness indicated that they were in the area waiting or looking for a friend when they were approached by a male. After a verbal altercation, the male suspect shot the victim.
The victim and witness were able to provide a description and, a short time later, officers located a male fitting that description in the area where the incident occurred. After a short foot pursuit, the male was arrested and a weapon recovered.
Last week, on E. 150th and Judson, officers arrived and found victim Tavon Hogan, 18. Hogan suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Witnesses state Hogan was involved in a fight with another male when that male shot Hogan. Suspect fled the scene. Hogan was uncooperative with officers on scene.
Hogan was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center by EMS and listed as being in stable condition. Further investigation revealed Hogan had felony warrants in connection with burglary. Hogan was arrested and will remain in police custody during his medical treatment. At this time, there are no arrests in connection with this incident.
The same night around the same time on the other side of town at E.123 and St. Clair Officers responded to a call for shots fired and found a 33 year male with 3 gunshot wounds to his leg.

A massive tornado touched down just south of Oklahoma City on Monday, killing dozens.
At least seven of those killed were students at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore. The twister, which measured 2 miles at one point, has been given a preliminary classification of an EF-4 tornado (winds of 166 to 200 mph), according to weather officials.
A huge tornado touched down just outside of Oklahoma City earlier today, causing widespread destruction and leaving behind a yet-untold number of casualties.

Valve wasn't stingy with add-on content for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, and that strategy will apparently continue with its latest title, Portal 2. As part of an interview with the online edition of business-oriented magazine Fast Company, Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi confirmed that downloadable content will be available for the first-person puzzler beginning this summer.
"We will be announcing some DLC for it, so folks can keep a look out for more content coming this summer," Lombardi said. "We'll be putting more details out about that in a week or so. We'll support that with more videos or more comics." Lombardi told GameSpot that the announcement should arrive "before this week is over."
Released to critical acclaim for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC last week, Portal 2 is the continuation of 2007 Orange Box pack-in Portal. The new title continues the travails of human lab rat Chell, who in the original game used a portal gun to create interdimensional openings on ceilings, walls, and floors in an effort to escape the Aperture Science labs and thwart the diabolical artificial intelligence known as GLaDOS.
In addition to extending the amount of content in the single-player mode, Valve introduced a new multiplayer cooperative mode. In it, players take control of two robots, named Atlas and P-body, and work together to tackle their own set of portal-related problems.
For more information, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of Portal 2.

Kenneth Burns: A message for golf fans: Pipe down
I'm surprised Jim Furyk didn't melt the camera.
On Sunday, Aug. 11, at the PGA Championship, pro golfer Furyk teed off at the 16th hole. Then, wearing a really annoyed expression, he turned toward the spectators. He glared right into the television camera, and he looked so angry that, sitting at home on my couch, I squirmed. I wanted to apologize.
Why was he mad? He was in contention at the season's final major championship, which Jason Dufner won a few minutes later. Just as Furyk struck his ball, the crowd erupted, in the way crowds do at golf tournaments now. The calm of Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., gave way in an instant to cacophony.
Furyk was, obviously, rattled by the noise. It may well have affected his game.
I loathe this tradition. It's obnoxious. Someone make it stop.
It started some years back. A spectator apparently thought it would be funny to yell "Get in the hole!" just as a golfer struck the ball. And it probably was funny at first. But as with a knock-knock joke that a preschooler shares for the 20th time, the gag didn't get funnier with repetition.
But oh, it was repeated. These days, "Get in the hole!" is as much a staple of televised golf as those loving shots of azaleas at the Masters tournament.
Sometimes people yell it when the ball could indeed get in the hole, as when someone is putting, or teeing off on a par-three hole. But why do people yell it when a golfer is at the tee on a par five? Do they imagine that this incantation will create a magic wind that will lift up the ball and carry it 500 yards to the cup?
No. They're yelling for the glory, such as it is. They know they will be heard on television. They can come home from the tournament, cue up the recording on the TiVo and listen, over and over, to their disruptive screams. And feel proud.
You might object: Pro golfers are serious athletes, and they're competing for serious money. They train hard. A little yelling shouldn't bother them. It doesn't seem to bother athletes in baseball, football, basketball. They play in front of thousands of screaming fans.
But as a friend pointed out to me the other day, those athletes usually aren't playing mere feet from the screaming fans. Those athletes also don't otherwise play in total silence, as golfers do.
It's true that we shouldn't feel too sorry for the golfers, though. They're going to be fine.
Here's my problem: The screaming makes for bad television.
I love watching golf on the tube. It can be riveting and suspenseful, and the quiet of the golf course is a big part of that. The golfers, whom we watch in extreme close-ups, are intense and fascinating in their silence.
The fans are less fascinating. They're not the reason I watch golf. I don't want to think about them. When they're yelling non sequiturs, I'm thinking about them.
You might also object: Golf needs to build its audience, and its reputation for fussiness may not be helping that effort.
That's a valid point. Fans should feel like they're having fun. Getting shushed isn't fun.
The PGA Tour could build on the experience of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, which is played every winter. That tournament's 16th hole is surrounded by stands filled with boisterous spectators. They cheer good shots and jeer bad ones. It looks like marvelous fun, and the golfers seem to enjoy the crowd. The good-natured golfers do, anyway.
Maybe there could be other opportunities for crowds to get noisy. Select opportunities. Contained opportunities.
If there were, maybe then officials would clamp down on the gratuitous yelling the rest of the time.

Financial freedom begins with a plan. OPES Financial Solutions associates' first job is to help individuals and families create that plan. OPES does this at no cost to its clients. The plan is complimentary, comprehensive, and confidential.
No-Cost Individualized Plans
OPES Financial Solutions understands that one size does not fit all. Beginning with the first meeting and throughout the relationship, the focus of OPES Financial Solutions associates is each client's individual needs. OPES Financial Solutions will identify a set of options that provide some of the best opportunities for clients to accumulate wealth through steady growth of their savings.
The Power of Being Non-Captive
The term "captive" in the financial industry refers to companies that produce their own products and only allow their agents to sell their proprietary products. This can limit the options an agent has to offer a client. OPES is an independent, non-captive company. OPES Financial Solutions does not produce any products of their own. Their clients do not invest in OPES Financial Solutions, they invest directly with industry leading product providers. OPES represents some of the largest companies in the financial industry; companies that are house hold names, companies their clients know and trust. OPES' business model is non-limiting, and is driven by the understanding that different needs require different solutions and "one size" does not fit all.

In the late 1960s, after the success of his student film "THX 1138:4EB" (which he later made into a feature) Lucas was one of four filmmakers who received grants to visit the set of a Western, Mackenna's Gold, and make a short film. While the other three worked on the usual behind-the-scenes documentaries, Lucas, disgusted by the excess on a typical movie set, spent his time shooting sunsets in the desert, following his dream of a "pure" cinema (apparently one where the filmmaker doesn't have to deal with other people). Thirty years later, he's become the kind of producer he once hated, putting hundreds of employees to work and spending millions of dollars to bring his juvenile fantasies to life. The Phantom Menace is a film that combines the flaws of both high-priced and "pure" filmmaking, embracing the scale of the most overblown studio production with the insularity of an independent producer who no longer has to question his own vision. The Star Wars films borrow and re-create a cultural trove of familiar myths and legends by way of Joseph Campbell, but when he gets carried away on his promises of a digital future, Lucas himself seems to evoke another familiar cinematic myth, The Wizard of Oz, the story of a simple entertainer/entrepreneur who inadvertently creates an empire. Enjoy the spectacle of The Phantom Menace, but pay no attention to that man behind the keyboard.

Written and directed by Tony Bui
Three Seasons is an exquisite film -- elegantly beautiful, profoundly insightful, deeply moving and perfectly paced. This impressive feature debut by 26-year-old writer/director Tony Bui broke new ground as the first American film shot entirely in Vietnam; it uses many native actors and was shot in Vietnamese. Bui, whose parents left Vietnam when he was 2, maximizes his location, making it a palpable presence. Cinematographer Lisa Rinzler captures a unique, unforgettable quality of light, juxtaposing shadowy, dilapidated shabbiness with startling, bright splendor, mostly glowing hotels frequented by the newly wealthy. Visually, the contrast between past and present, a major theme, comes alive. Cyclo (bicycle cab) drivers lounge with a huge Coca-Cola sign as a backdrop. Dark, rainy streets give way to warm yellows and golds of hotel lobbies. But nature's beauty, especially the delicate flowers circulating through the characters' lives, radiantly outshines capitalist endeavors.
Three Seasons interweaves four stories, each of them distinct, lyrical and understated, though emotional. Two characters attempt to reclaim their past; two struggle to survive in the present, ambitiously looking toward the future. We meet Kien An first, a young woman hired to harvest white lotuses and to sell them in Saigon (characters call what is now Ho Chi Minh City by its former name). Unwittingly offending the women with whom she picks blossoms in the lotus lake, Kien sings a song from her childhood. Her reclusive employer, Teacher Dao, a once-famous poet, responds to Kien and agrees for her to serve as the hands he's lost to leprosy. Though physically ravaged, Dao's spirit and imagination soar as he composes poetry again.
Chronologically, we next meet cyclo driver Hai. Hai becomes enamored of Lan, a prostitute he helps escape from two men. Despite this familiar plotline, Hai and Lan realize a unique specificity and potent three-dimensionality. Hai, who follows and waits for Lan, even considers entering a cyclo race to win $200, enough to buy a very different kind of night for Lan.
In the third thread, young Woody sells gum, cigarettes and lighters in Saigon alleys and bars. One night, his case disappears. After slapping him, his angry father tells Woody not to return without it, and Woody goes hunting. Intersecting with Woody is the fourth major character, James Hager, an American ex-GI searching for the daughter he left 30 years ago. Hager is played by the film's executive producer, Harvey Keitel, in a quiet, sad, heartbreaking role. Appropriately, Hager is the most out of place, the most awkward in this environment.
Shot for a minuscule $2 million, with Vietnamese censors always in attendance, Three Seasons uses deliberate symbolism and an ineffable, evocative spirituality to depict resilient postwar Vietnam. Cyclo drivers compete with taxis, continued on next pagecontinued from previous pageplastic lotus flowers with real ones, and dilapidated buildings with new construction. Three Seasons earned the best-picture, audience-favorite and best-cinematography awards at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Described accurately as breathtakingly beautiful, Three Seasons offers a memorable visual experience, contemplative concern over modernity, and optimism triumphing over painful experience. It's one of the best films of the year.
In Vietnamese (and some English) with English subtitles.

The last two decades have witnessed unimaginable leaps and bounds in the fields of video technology, digital imaging and audio editing. Recent Hollywood movies have, of course, exploited these advances, in the process permanently changing how movies are both made and viewed. It would seem natural that video artists would also have kept rigid pace with recent developments in technology.

Agency filings affecting this section
Ambulatory surgery.
(1) To receive approval, an ambulatory surgical facility must meet the following standards in addition to applicable review criteria in WAC
, and
(2) The area to be used to plan for operating rooms and ambulatory surgical facilities is the secondary health services planning area.
(3) Secondary health services planning areas are: San Juan, Whatcom, East Skagit, Whidbey-Fidalgo, Western North Olympic, East Clallam, East Jefferson, North Snohomish, Central Snohomish, East Snohomish, Southwest Snohomish, Kitsap, North King, East King, Central King, Southwest King, Southeast King, Central Pierce, West Pierce, East Pierce, Mason, West Grays Harbor, Southeast Grays Harbor, Thurston, North Pacific, South Pacific, West Lewis, East Lewis, Cowlitz-Wahkiakum-Skamania, Clark, West Klickitat, East Klickitat, Okanogan, Chelan-Douglas, Grant, Kittitas, Yakima, Benton-Franklin, Ferry, North Stevens, North Pend Oreille, South Stevens, South Pend Oreille, Southwest Lincoln, Central Lincoln, Spokane, Southwest Adams, Central Adams, Central Whitman, East Whitman, Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield, and Asotin.
(4) Outpatient operating rooms should ordinarily not be approved in planning areas where the total number of operating rooms available for both inpatient and outpatient surgery exceeds the area need.
(5) When a need exists in planning areas for additional outpatient operating room capacity, preference shall be given to dedicated outpatient operating rooms.
(6) An ambulatory surgical facility shall have a minimum of two operating rooms.
(7) Ambulatory surgical facilities shall document and provide assurances of implementation of policies to provide access to individuals unable to pay consistent with charity care levels provided by hospitals affected by the proposed ambulatory surgical facility. The amount of an ambulatory surgical facility's annual revenue utilized to finance charity care shall be at least equal to or greater than the average percentage of total patient revenue, other than medicare or medicaid, that affected hospitals in the planning area utilized to provide charity care in the last available reporting year.
(8) The need for operating rooms will be determined using the method identified in subsection (9) of this section.
(9) Operating room need in a planning area shall be determined using the following method:
(a) Existing capacity.
(i) Assume the annual capacity of one operating room located in a hospital and not dedicated to outpatient surgery is ninety-four thousand two hundred fifty minutes. This is derived from scheduling forty-four hours per week, fifty-one weeks per year (allowing for five weekday holidays), a fifteen percent loss for preparation and clean-up time, and fifteen percent time loss to allow schedule flexibility. The resulting seventy percent productive time is comparable to the previously operating hospital commission's last definition of "billing minutes" which is the time lapse from administration of anesthesia until surgery is completed.
(ii) Assume the annual capacity of one operating room dedicated to ambulatory surgery is sixty-eight thousand eight hundred fifty minutes. The derivation is the same as (a)(i) of this subsection except for twenty-five percent loss for prep/clean-up time and scheduling is for a thirty-seven and one-half hour week. Divide the capacity minutes by the average minutes per outpatient surgery (see (a)(vii) of this subsection). Where survey data are unavailable, assume fifty minutes per outpatient surgery, resulting in a capacity for one thousand three hundred seventy-seven outpatient surgeries per room per year.
(iii) Calculate the total annual capacity (in number of surgeries) of all dedicated outpatient operating rooms in the area.
(iv) Calculate the total annual capacity (in number of minutes) of the remaining inpatient and outpatient operating rooms in the area, including dedicated specialized rooms except for twenty-four hour dedicated emergency rooms. When dedicated emergency operating rooms are excluded, emergency or minutes should also be excluded when calculating the need in an area. Exclude cystoscopic and other special purpose rooms (e.g., open heart surgery) and delivery rooms.
(b) Future need.
(i) Project number of inpatient and outpatient surgeries performed within the hospital planning area for the third year of operation. This shall be based on the current number of surgeries adjusted for forecasted growth in the population served and may be adjusted for trends in surgeries per capita.
(ii) Subtract the capacity of dedicated outpatient operating rooms from the forecasted number of outpatient surgeries. The difference continues into the calculation of (b)(iv) of this subsection.
(iii) Determine the average time per inpatient and outpatient surgery in the planning area. Where data are unavailable, assume one hundred minutes per inpatient and fifty minutes per outpatient surgery. This excludes preparation and cleanup time and is comparable to "billing minutes."
(iv) Calculate the sum of inpatient and remaining outpatient (from (b)(ii) of this subsection) operating room time needed in the third year of operation.
(c) Net need.
(i) If (b)(iv) of this subsection is less than (a)(iv) of this subsection, divide their difference by ninety-four thousand two hundred fifty minutes to obtain the area's surplus of operating rooms used for both inpatient and outpatient surgery.
(ii) If (b)(iv) of this subsection is greater than (a)(iv) of this subsection, subtract (a)(iv) of this subsection from the inpatient component of (b)(iv) of this subsection and divide by ninety-four thousand two hundred fifty minutes to obtain the area's shortage of inpatient operating rooms. Divide the outpatient component of (b)(iv) of this subsection by sixty-eight thousand eight hundred fifty to obtain the area's shortage of dedicated outpatient operating rooms.

text: No bullpen took more losses (33) or blew more saves (29) than the Brewers' relief unit last season. A total of 18 different relievers pitched to a combined 4.66 ERA, the worst mark in the big leagues. Unsurprisingly, GM Doug Melvin set out to remake the team's bullpen this offseason, and that process started by jettisoning Francisco Rodriguez, Jose Veras, Manny Parra, Kameron Loe, and a handful of others. The only notable holdovers are hard-throwing right-handers John Axford and Jim Henderson.

Re: Steve Smith...
This man is a true master he stripped his style back to the basics and really built everything back again as bttm said. His feel and ability to play multiple styles is awesome . The video Drumset technique/ history of the US beat is an absolute must have for any drummer but may be hard to work from short of being at an imtermediate level. I really dig the odd times and grooves that he plays with Vital Information but didnt remember being as impressed with the stuff he did with Journey. That is untill I started playing myself now I have a whole new opinion of the work he did with journey theres some really solid playing there. Did you know that Steve Smith and Neil Peart studied together under Freddie Gruber? They actually practice together quite a bit.

ALBANY -- On July 31, 1911, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital celebrated its grand opening. Amid the tours and the hoopla, 16-year-old Henrietta Beck was diagnosed with "abnormal teeth" and advised to return for surgery. It's unclear if it was ever performed.
Medical science -- and Phoebe -- have come a long way since.
Beginning at 10 a.m. at the HealthWorks, hospital employees were gathered together, 300 to 400 at a time, to celebrate the hospital's centennial.
During an address to Phoebe workers, CEO Joel Wernick said that only a few years ago many people would leave the area if they needed serious medical treatment.
"'Where are you going?' would be the question," Wernick said. "Now, if a person takes treatment somewhere else, the doctors there would ask 'Why are you here? You can have that treatment at Phoebe.'"
Employees were shown a film titled "Nothing But the Best," featuring Phoebe Putney Hospital, its history and advances throughout the years.
Following the film was a performance by Greg Risberg, a motivational speaker. According to Risberg, he offers his audience "useful ways" to improve communication, handle stress and increase humor in their lives. His animated, standup style of humor was well received by the Phoebe audience.
Every employee was given the opportunity to sign a scroll that will be placed in a time capsule commemorating Phoebe's 100th anniversary. The capsule will be filled with various items representing this era in Phoebe's history and buried on Nov. 9, said Lacy Lee, Centennial Committee co-chairperson. It will be re-opened in 50 years.
Earlier Monday morning, four original pen-and-ink drawings by Melissa Tubbs were unveiled. The drawings, commissioned by Phoebe, were of the original 1911 Phoebe building, the 2011 campus, the McCormack Fountain in front of the hospital entrance, and the Centennial sky bridge.
Later this week, parties will be conducted for Phoebe employees at medical centers in Southwest Georgia Regional Medical Center (Cuthbert), Phoebe Worth (Sylvester), Dorminy Medical Center (Fitzgerald) and Phoebe Sumter (Americus).

Ukulele concert planned for Tuesday
HUNTINGTON -- Three years ago Leah Levy discovered the joy of playing the ukulele.
And she's not been keeping the fun all to herself. For the past eight weeks, she's been sharing the fun of playing the little island-born instrument with local elementary school students.
As part of her senior capstone project, Levy, a Huntington High School senior and her students in the Ukuleles for Youth program will have a concert at the Huntington Museum of Art at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2.
The concert is free and open to the public. Tuesdays are free admission nights to the museum. Levy will be accepting donations, however, at the concert with proceeds going to VH1's Save The Music Foundation Program.
After securing more than $1,500 from CAFE Huntington, Create Huntington as well as an IndieGoGo campaign, Levy was able to purchase 30 ukuleles which she has given to the local students to keep.
For the past couple of months, Levy has been teaching nearly 30 students at Central City Elementary and Southside Elementary Schools.
At the recital, students will be playing a diverse range of music including "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz; "Salaam," a song that will be sung in Arabic and Hebrew; as well as the R&B hit "Build Me Up Buttercup" by The Foundations.
Levy said it has been a two-way learning experience as she has learned much from her young students, many of whom got to own their first musical instrument.
"That has been one of the best parts to see how they have been affected by the music and to see them progress," Levy said. "I have learned how to teach too so it has been an equally rewarding experience with all of us learning."
Levy, who graduates soon from high school, said the project has made her senior year much more rewarding.
"It has definitely made my senior year more meaningful although it has added some more stresses," Levy said. "At the same time because music is a passion it relieves stress too so it balances out."

"Divots can by replaced - Our freedom cannot."
What started as a single golf tournament fundraiser in 2005 has grown into something larger than JB Ball could've imagined. JB started Tee It Up For The Troops to honor his son stationed in Iraq and to help veterans and their families.
Today, just three years later, JB's golf event has grown into a nationally recognized program with over 130 courses participating. Tournaments take place across the country throughout the summer to benefit Tee It Up For The Troops, but JB has also created a "National Day of Golf" in September. Numerous golf courses across the country host events on the Friday closest to September 11th and donate the proceeds to JB's organization. In 2007, Tee It Up For The Troops raised over $500,000 to help wounded veterans and their families.
JB is a busy guy, involved in every aspect of the organization from sponsorship to logistics. He also spends a lot of time researching organizations that can Tee It Up can support. Then, in his spare time, JB also volunteers with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, runs a business and is an active father and husband. JB truly does it all!

New water meters up for discussion
Replacing the manually read meters with automatic readers for the Broad River Water Authority will be further discussed when the board begins its budget discussions in May.
The board decided at its business meeting Tuesday afternoon to include the project in the Capital Improvement Plan for 2013-14 and will be discussed next month.
The board wants to see comparisons with full advanced metering infrastructure/fixed based network and standard meter replacement with the current type of meter, explained BRWA executive director Maria Hunnicutt.
The approval of the actual project would happen with the approval of the budget, she said.
The project would replace existing manually read meters with Radio Read Automatic Meter Reading equipment. The radio-based, drive-by system which would allow meter reading to be done by meter reading personnel remotely as they drive-by each meter.
The new meters would provide an effective "state of the art" reliable meter reading systems; produce user-friendly data that is easily accessible, offer environmental benefits,improve worker safety/reduced risk exposure, increased level of customer service, and reduced re-reads.
New board member Mike Ellenburg was also sworn into office during the meeting.

Warehouse District open for wanderingWritten by Alissa Romstadt | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The fifth annual Wander the Warehouse District event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 13 in Downtown Toledo.
"The event is designed to showcase the renovated buildings in this part of Downtown Toledo. All of the sites on this tour are historic buildings that have been renovated — most into residential space," said President of the Toledo Warehouse District Association Diane Roe.
In addition to the seven historic sites on the tour, area restaurants and retail shops will be open for Toledoans to take the day and see what life is like in the warehouse district, Roe said.
For $10, participants can begin their tour at any of the participating sites, including St. Clair Village, Sullivan Live/Work Space, Wilson Studio, the Rideout Residence, Porter Studio, Hannon's Block, the Guess Residence or the Oliver House. They will receive a map, a program and free reign to explore.
"Our experience has been that people are just amazed at what they find when they come down," Roe said. "They drive down here every day and are shocked at what they find inside and what renovations have been done."
Kicking off the attractions of the day, tour participant Ahava Spa & Wellness Center will make a "Guinness Book of Records" attempt at the most individuals gathering at once to do yoga in the street outside their building at 34 S, St Clair St., Ahava receptionist Alissa Franklin said.
Yoga participants can pre-register for the class at the Ahava Wellness Center or the Victory Center. The cost to attend the class is $15. For $30, participants will receive a yoga mat and T-shirt, Franklin said. Proceeds of the yoga class will benefit the Cancer Connection of Northwest Ohio, the Victory Center and Cherished Friends of Ahava.

Gender Symposium presents Claudia Rueda, Ph.D. Candidate in History
Fri, April 20, 2012 • 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM • Garrison 1.102
The Department of History's Graduate Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality presents:
"Worthy Men Confronting the Hydra of Somocismo:
The Reformist Masculinity of the Student Movement in 1940s Nicaragua"
A work-in-progress piece by
Claudia Rueda
Ph.D. Candidate in History, UT Austin
"In the 1940s, university students in Nicaragua constituted a disproportionally large part of the opposition to the nascent dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza García (1937-1956). Throughout the decade, their demonstrations and repression would trigger solidarity protests that destabilized the regime and nearly toppled it on at least one occasion. This presentation, which is part of a larger chapter examining the dynamics of student politics in the 1940s, looks at the role of gender in constructing and legitimizing the students' foray into the national political scene.
In order to combat the paternalism Somoza employed to delegitimize their protests as well as bolster his rule, students relied on a reformist masculinity that hinged on their idealistic purity, political independence, commitment to the rule of law and nationalistic fervor to stake their claim to the political sphere. This presentation traces the emergence of this reformist masculinity, the hierarchies it recreated and the way in which it gradually became more revolutionary throughout the decade."
The Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality has been a fixture in Department of History since 2001, offering a forum for graduate students and faculty to present papers and works-in-progress for discussion in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere.
Refreshments will be provided. No RSVP needed; free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Program Coordinators Valerie Ann Martinez (email@example.com) and Allison "Alley" Schottenstein (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Chinese Silk Brocade Jackets
Added Feb 11, 2013
by vchan38
London, United K...
I made two Chinese silk brocade jackets using Burda's 02/2012's pattern no. 112. The silk brocade fabric and lining was bought in Hong Kong in a traditional Chinese department store. I made a long version using black brocade with green lining and another short version for my mom using lime brocade and pink lining. The brocade fabric was underlined with cotton flannel for warmth and support. Lining was sewn to the jacket using hand slipstitches. I also made the frog closures myself. You can see more about the jackets on my blog:

Statistical analysis was performed to determine if these changes were statistically significant. Prior to surgery, the average FFI was 123.2 (SD=22.3), as compared to 91.0 (SD=40.7). The difference was strongly significant with p=0.003. The average BFS prior to surgery was 55.4 (SD=13.8), and the BFS after surgery was 45.4 (SD=16.2). This difference was also statistically significant with p=0.012.
This retrospective study regarding the use of amniotic membranes as transplants to restore natural sheathing or covering between the tendon, peritendonous structures, and overlying skin in order to help prevent post-operative adhesions at the surgery site generated data which is generally consistent with prior animal studies of amniotic membranes as transplants to help prevent post-operative adhesions.
In the canine laminectomy model (Tao, Fan: Implantation of amniotic membrane to reduce postlaminectomy epidural adhesions; European Spine Journal: 2009, Published online) crosslinked amnion membranes (CAM) were used to help prevent post-operative adhesions. In that study, animals treated with amnion were observed to have a much weaker or nearly absent epidural adhesion. The white, slightly vascularized membrane was found between the dura matter and surrounding tissues to reduce scar intrusion. Furthermore, the CAM layer seldom adhered to the dura mater and was easily removed. Only a layer of fibrous tissue could be found between the CAM layer and dura mater in three samples [out of 24 total]. Of those animals with adhesions, the adhesions were mild and histologies of those adhesions showed that they were highly disorganized.
Amniotic membrane tissues are comprised of collagen type III, I, IV, V and VI and contain native and endogenous proteins and peptides. The structure and function of amniotic tissues is nearly id

Luxury car maker Lexus Indonesia introduced four new models on Wednesday in a bid to cash in on the nation's booming auto market.
The Japanese car maker unveiled two SUVS — the RX 350 F-Sport and the hybrid RX 450h — as well as the hybrid CT 200h hatchback and the convertible IS 300C sedan on Wednesday. The company expects sales to increase 30 percent this year, reaching 600 units, amid high demand for luxury cars, Johnny Darmawan, president director of Toyota Astra Motor, said.
Indonesia's premium car market has been insulated from the weakening rupiah, the president director said. In fact, Lexus' pricier cars are in higher demand than its more affordable models.
"We thought that our more affordable LS models would drive sales
volume here, but as it turns out, our best selling car is the top of the
line RX 350. If you want to buy an RX, you'll have to wait three months because we're flowing with demands," he said.
The Lexus RX 350 retails for some Rp 1.17 billion ($124,000) in Indonesia.
The central bank's plan to require a minimum down-payment of 30 percent for car loans will have little affect on Indonesia's wealthy auto shoppers.
"Around 75 percent of premium cars are purchased using cash. Japan's production has recovered and the rich will still spend because they have money," Johnny said at the "Lexus 5 years" celebration in Indonesia on Wednesday.
The car maker entered the Indonesian market in 2007 and sold only 40 cars. Four years later, Lexus Indonesia moved 462 units.
"It could have been 500 units if there had not been an earthquake in Japan," Johnny said.
Indonesia's luxury car market was about 3,000 sales a year, he said.
Although sales were up 15 percent last year, Lexus is still behind BMW and Mercedes in sales, Johnny said.
Toyota and lexus is committed to capturing growth markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Kazuo Ohara, deputy chief officer Lexus Group for Toyota Motor Corp said. Lexus recently opened an office in Singapore.
"We are confident about growth in Indonesia. The
auto industry in Indonesia is growing at a rapid pace. The
premium market is not big here, but it keeps growing. Our sales here
grow at a rate of 25 percent annually," Ohara said.
The hybrid RX 450H SUV will retail for Rp 1.4 billion. The RX 350 F-Sport costs a little less at Rp 1.17 billion.
The hybrid engine CT 200h hatchback will cost between Rp 700 million to Rp 800 million.
The 3,000 cc coupe convertible is equipped with six speed sequential
automatic transmission and a paddle shift. The price tag is Rp 1
The convertible IS 300C sedan will cost buyers Rp 1 billion.
