This spring, Badass Digest is busting off of computer screens everywhere and onto the big screen with Badass Digest Presents, a new monthly series spotlighting awesome movies ranging from beloved classics to under-appreciated oddities that need to be seen with an audience.
Each screening opens with a pre-feature video with insightful commentary from our Badass-in-Chief Devin Faraci to help set the stage and provide extra context for the feature. Learn about behind the scenes secrets, the history of a franchise, or just why Devin thinks that one particular scene is the end all be all of cinema awesomeness.
This month we launch the series with Sam Peckinpah's BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA. Here's Devin:
Sam Peckinpah was cinema's poet laureate of alienated men on the edge, and BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA is his masterpiece.
Bennie (Warren Oates) is a broken down drunk American living in Mexico, the kind of guy who tries to kill his crabs with tequila. When he hears a local crime lord has offered one million dollars for the head of Alfredo Garcia - a guy Bennie knows is already dead and buried - Bennie sees a way to make something of his life.
Oates based Bennie's look and character on Peckinpah himself, who had collapsed into a dissolute mess in the late stages of his career.
We're proud to have this as the first screening of the Badass Digest Presents series. Not only is star Warren Oates the inaugural member of the Badass Hall of Fame, this movie represents the sort of uncompromising, vicious filmmaking we love.
A critically lambasted flop at the time, BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA can now be seen as a brutal, honest, ugly, and gloriously violent summation of the dark impulses that drove Sam Peckinpah to greatness - and self-destruction. (Devin Faraci)

On Thursday, Paris Hilton shared one adorable picture from her younger days, dressed up as a pink ballerina.
The 32-year-old tweeted, "Princess Paris #tbt," along with the picture. Guess the heiress has always fancied herself as a little princess.
She looks so innocent -- who knew she'd be starring in her own lingere-clad sex tape one day? Nevertheless, she was one pretty cute little girl -- click "Launch Gallery" above to see more stars before fame!

Tyrone Freeman, the president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California Chapter 6434, was found guilty on 14 counts of embezzlement last week, and faces a maximum of 180 years in prison when his sentence is announced in April.
Hand-picked by SEIU president Andrew Stern (pictured) to "consolidate" numerous local chapters in California, Freeman succeeded in expanding membership among home healthcare workers through a combination of persuasion, coercion, and fraud. All he was doing was following the dictum of his boss: "We use the power of persuasion first. If it doesn't work, we try the persuasion of power."
Along the way Freeman lavished himself and his family with union funds extracted from workers making an average of $9 an hour. Some of his schemes involved buying $175 glasses of cognac, $250 bottles of wine, and a lavish — all-expenses-paid-for-by-the-union — trip to the NFL's Pro Bowl in Hawaii for him and friends.
These were just incidentals. The egregious theft of funds involved supporting a golf tournament to the tune of $418,000, billed as a fundraiser for the union but which turned out to fall more than $100,000 short of even meeting its expenses. He arranged for his union to pay companies owned by his wife and his mother-in-law amounts exceeding 10 percent of the union's entire annual budget. This was in addition to his $213,000 salary and his wife's $50,000, earned while she was a union staffer. Some of the companies the union "hired" were shell corporations, or didn't even exist, according to court records. For instance, one company, the Long Term Care Housing Corporation, listed a Bell Gardens address that is owned by Freeman's former chief of staff, who no longer lives there.
The strategies used in California to grow the membership were similar to those used in Connecticut. As reported by Health Bridge Management, the tactics of intimidation were horrifyingly successful:

STI-571 is a novel chemotherapeutic agent that selectively inhibits the abnormal tyrosine kinase that results from the translocation of the c-abl gene on chromosome 9 to one of two breakpoint regions on chromosome 22 (t 9;22). This translocation, known as the Philadelphia Chromosome, results in the continuous tyrosine kinase activity that leads to malignancy in many leukemias. In children, Ph + leukemias include 2-3% of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the adult type chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). STI571 has been shown to be safe and effective in adults, but had not yet been studied in children. This Phase I study was designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and characterize the pharmacokinetic activity of STI571 in children.
Materials and Methods
Author's conclusions:
Clinical and Scientific Implications:
STI571 is a safe anti-neoplastic agent for use in children. This study may herald its use in the pediatric population. While STI571 appears effective in this Phase I study, its efficacy will be further defined in an on-going Phase II study.

|Retreat Features United Way Task
|Written by Gary Childers
|Tuesday, 05 March 2013 08:00
Elected officials and staff representing all the towns in Watauga County along with the Commissioners and members of Appalachian State University's administration held an intergovernmental retreat at the ASU Athletic Center Monday evening. Phillip Trew, Planning and Development Director,
for the High Country Council of Governments explained the purpose of the meeting, "The towns of Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Seven Devils and Beech Mountain and Watauga County came to me four or five years ago and said 'will you help us facilitate some retreats.' We decided to do it twice a year with the idea of getting elected officials and select staff together to talk about areas of mutual interest." The area of mutual interest chosen for highlighting during this retreat was the work being done by the High Country United Way. The United Way's efforts to restructure how they allocate the funds donated by citizens and groups from Avery and Watauga Counties to achieve greater effectiveness has attracted the interest of community, civic, business, and governmental leaders throughout both counties. The model they have adopted has been viewed as a positive step by many in these positions. Nancy Reigel, High Country United Way Board member and early leader of the initiative, explained why the funding process was being revised and provided an overview of the process, "Today, we fund programs that help pull kids out of the river. We need to make change in the community—lasting change. Let's get to the root cause of the problem." Following her comments Ms. Reigel introduced the facilitators of each of the Vision Councils the United Way established who then presented a synopsis of their group's work over the past 18 months. Facilitators for the Health Vision Council, Alice Salthouse and Bryan Belcher, identified their group's priorities as; (1) Creating an environment that supports health, (2) Providing needed health care & resources, and (3) Reducing substance abuse. Susan Jones along with Joe Furman, Income Vision Council facilitators, shared their group's priorities as; (1) Creating affordable housing, (2) Attracting, obtaining, and maintaining diverse industries, and (3) Creating sufficient affordable health care. Facilitators for the Education Vision Council, Gary Childers, Dr. Dick Jones, and Melissa Phillips, presented their committee's priorities as; (1) Expand non-traditional education opportunities, (2) Increase/change perception of value of education, and (3) Increase collaboration to align resources. The retreat concluded with Mr. Trew thanking the representatives of High Country United Way and Vision Council facilitators for sharing their work and encouraging the governmental representatives, if interested, to contact any of those individuals for further information.

Attorney General Eric Holder has written to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (shown), informing him that the Obama administration considers state attempts to protect the Second Amendment "unconstitutional" and that federal agents will "continue to execute their duties," regardless of state statutes to the contrary.
The letter, dated April 26, specifically references a Kansas statute recently signed into law by Brownback that criminalizes any attempt by federal officers or agents to infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of citizens of the Sunflower State. Section 7 of the new law declares:
It is unlawful for any official, agent or employee of the government of the United States, or employee of a corporation providing services to the government of the United States to enforce or attempt to enforce any act, law, treaty, order, rule or regulation of the government of the United States regarding a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately and owned in the state of Kansas and that remains within the borders of Kansas. Violation of this section is a severity level 10 nonperson felony.
The right of states to refuse to enforce unconstitutional federal acts is known as nullification.
Nullification is a concept of constitutional law recognizing the right of each state to nullify, or invalidate, any federal measure that exceeds the few and defined powers allowed the federal government as enumerated in the Constitution.
Nullification exists as a right of the states because the sovereign states formed the union, and as creators of the compact, they hold ultimate authority as to the limits of the power of the central government to enact laws that are applicable to the states and the citizens thereof.
As President Obama and the United Nations accelerate their plan to disarm Americans, the need for nullification is urgent, and liberty-minded citizens are encouraged at the sight of state legislators boldly asserting their right to restrain the federal government through application of that very powerful and very constitutional principle.
Both Attorney General Holder and President Obama are trained lawyers, so one would expect that they have read the Federalist Papers. In fairness, they probably have, but perhaps they overlooked Federalist, No. 33, where Alexander Hamilton explained the legal validity of federal acts that exceed the powers granted to it by the Constitution. Hamilton wrote:

Video: Press Conference: Sandy's Impact in WNY - Part 3
Video: Press Conference: Sandy's Impact in WNY - Part 2
Video: Press Conference: Sandy's Impact in WNY - Part 4
CHEEKTOWAGA, NY - County, state and federal officials held a press conference Monday afternoon to discuss the status of preparations for Hurricane Sandy in Erie County.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said that no state of emergency has been declared for Erie County, but that he was ready at a moment's notice to do so if required. "That does not mean that we shouldn't be vigilant," he emphasized.
Poloncarz said that planners were looking at the effect of Sandy in Western New York as "not so much a rain event as a wind event." While about 2" of rain may cause localized flooding, the big concern is anticipated wind gusts of up to 60 mph with the potential to knock over trees and bring down power lines.
"If you see a downed power line," said Poloncarz, "assume it's live." If it's a legitimate emergency he said to call 911.
The numbers to call in the event of power outages are:
He added that the power companies probably wouldn't be able to get bucket trucks out until daylight, after the wind eases up.
Poloncarz asked residents to avoid all unnecessary travel during the storm, especially after dark, for their own safety and to give emergency crews room to work.
He said Erie County parks would be closed at 5 on Monday rather than the usual 9 p.m. closing time, and won't open on Wednesday morning until crews have had a chance to assess damage from the storm.
He said the park closings included Bennett and Wendt beaches, even though residents might be tempted to go there to watch the waves.
He reminded residents never to run generators indoors, but to keep them outside as far away from the home as possible. And if a streetlight is out to treat that intersection as a four-way stop, bringing your vehicle to a complete stop, as required by law.
Congressman Brian Higgins said that the president had placed the resources of the Federal Emergency Management Administration at the disposal of New Yorkers at Governor Andrew Cuomo's request.
Congresswoman Kathy Hochul added that lines of communication had been opened between all federal, state and local agencies that might be called on in the emergency.
She also told residents not to call 911, don't text, in the event of an emergency, since 911 has no way to receive texts.

Interview with Australian artist Steve Cakebread
Steve Cakebread has been a graphic designer and cartoonist for twenty years. His off-kilter cartoons, which are a wry comment on human condition, have been published in newspapers and surf titles like The Bulletin, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Good Weekend, The Melbourne Age, Australian Surfing Life, Fleur (Brazilian Surf Magazine). When I asked why he doesn't take his cartoons to job interviews, he told me he thinks they might just be an acquired taste, and wouldn't want to upset any delicate palates. I'm starting to understand what he was getting at.

The engrossing, often scandalous saga of one of the wealthiest, longest-lasting, and most colorful family dynasties in the history of American commerce - a cautionary tale about prosperity, profligacy, hubris, and the blessings and dark consequences of success.
From countless bar signs, stadium scoreboards, magazine ads, TV commercials, and roadside billboards, the name Budweiser has been burned into the American consciousness as the "King of Beers". Over a span of more than a century, the company behind it, Anheuser-Busch, has attained legendary status. A jewel of the American Industrial Revolution, in the hands of its founders - the sometimes reckless and always boisterous Busch family of St. Louis, Missouri - it grew into one of the most fearsome marketing machines in modern times. In Bitter Brew, critically acclaimed journalist Knoedelseder paints a fascinating portrait of immense wealth and power accompanied by a barrelful of scandal, heartbreak, tragedy, and untimely death.
This engrossing, vivid narrative captures the Busch saga through five generations. At the same time, it weaves a broader story of American progress and decline over the past 150 years. It's a cautionary tale of prosperity, hubris, and loss.

Just me
"Couldn't stop listening..."
This is a great story detailing the blood sweat and tears associated with building and ultimately losing one of America iconic companies / brands. I have lived in St. Louis for nearly 4 years now and this story has given me an entirely new perspective on the big brewery and the family that built it. I would reccomend this book to almost anyone who has an interest in history, business or even general drama.
World Explorer
"Pass the Beer and Ammunition"
I have not read the print version of Bitter Brew but there is a great PDF attached to the download for pics and charts.
The Forth is my favorite as he is leaving an incredible path of death and destruction in his wake.
No, but I do plan to listen to his other books in the future.
It was broken into 3 parts, and I finished it in less than a week as I found it very interesting. I think they should make it into a TV mini series.
I live in St. Louis so the book is a must read for people living in the Lou, but people from other places will enjoy the book if they have ever drank a beer or wondered what rich people do when they have no morals or common sense.
"Every St. Louisian should read"
One of the best told stories of St. Louis history. This is a book every person in St. Louis should read. So full of a colorful history of one of our city's icon company's rise and fall.
Peter Berkrot reads the story as though he was there and experienced every event and episode. He has a great voice, easy to listen to for long periods of time. I could not put it down (turn it off).
"Fascinating Story Well Told"
I'm more of a wino than a beer drinker, but this is a really interesting story. It's extremely well written and well narrated. I would highly recommend this audio book to anyone interested in the history of American business. Informative and entertaining at the same time.
I love books, but I particularly love audio books. What a luxury to have someone like Campbell Scott read you to sleep.
"Don't Have to Care About Beer to Enjoy this Story"
This history of Anheuser-Busch is fascinating, the wealth, the power and the disfunction. A very well-written, page turning history lesson. One character is more fascinating than the next. I am waiting for someone to do a cable series on this family.
Most of the characters were flawed and that made the story more compelling.
Peter Berkrot is an excellent narrator. Doesn't get in the way of the story, no over-acting.
"Great story! Hard to believe it is true."
Really enjoyed this book! Narrator executes well but feel he may have been a bad choice for purely tonal reasons.
"Well researched"
It's too bad Berkrot didn't do as good a job researching things as the author did. Mispronouncing "Carondolet" might excusable for a non-St. Louisan, but to mispronounce Stuart Symington's name and Red Schoendienst's name is NOT excusable. His voice is pleasant enough, and I enjoyed listening, I just wish he'd have checked some things first.
"Makes History Memorable"
This audio book is excellent. The story is real which makes it all the better. The author paints a picture with such detail that you can see the drama unfolding in your mind's eye. The reading was also excellent. This is a book that you will find yourself discussing and thinking about whenever you have a drink. There are only a handful of spots that the story lags, otherwise it is faced paced.
I often try to imagine a future where big corporations rule the economy. This book gives me an insight into what may be the future. Instead of Congress stopping monopoly and oligopoly powers, the businesses may become so big that they fail to deliver their brand promises to the consumer, their stockholders and their employees. Budweiser does have good quality beer but other companies and markets they tried to swallow up failed to be profitable. With the new hedge fund managers who have raped and pillaged the company, you have to ask yourself how long will they continue to have good beer? Will management who is looking for short term profits in the end be the downfall of the company? Will small breweries be able to get a foothold in their local communities if the Budweiser quality is sacrificed for short term profits? Maybe the rise of multi-national corporations gaining power through politicians taking their political contributions is just a phase of capitalism. Maybe they will get so big that they fail.
"Compelling story & I don't even like beer!"
I think that this book would appeal to everyone. I hesitate to say I'm a St. Louisan because you don't have to be a local (or a beer drinker) to be facinated by this story! AB was huge nationally as well as locally but as a St. Louisan, it really is a sad story about a tragic family and the loss of another major business to foreign investors. It's another example of truth being more compelling than fiction!
Yes! I binged on it!
Whose job is it to research the pronunciation of local place names? There were several errors.
"An American Family Empire Down the Drain"
I worked at A-B for several years and can attest first-hand to the Busch family cult of personality described in "Bitter Brew." If anything, I found it to be even more palpable and all-consuming in the corporate culture than what is described in the book.
The decades-long story that unfolds is fascinating in a way akin to reading about a royal family -- the aspirations, the battles, the treacheries, the grudges, and the grooming of heirs are all the same.
In this way, I see the whole thing as less a cautionary tale of cutthroat capitalism, than a tragic account of fatal and flawed family dynamics.
My only complaint is that Knoedelseder's telling is more plain and flatly journalistic than the vivid subject matter deserved, and in the end could've benefitted from more descriptive analysis into the meaning of it all.

Client-centered strategy that may decrease ambivalence in behavior performance with attention intervention (infant safety) on: a) breastfeeding self-efficacy, b) intended length of breastfeeding, and c) duration of breastfeeding.
Other Name: Counseling
Detailed Description:
The incidence of asthma, the most common serious chronic inflammatory disease among children, is rising each year. Therefore nursing interventions aimed at promoting infant immunity and mitigating factors to which the infant may be exposed may reduce the complications of this chronic illness. Breastfeeding is an ideal initial prevention strategy that strengthens the infant's immune system. In addition, the identification of biomarkers that reflect infant immune response sets the stage for the evaluation of nursing interventions targeted to decrease the impact of this chronic inflammatory disease. Although more mothers currently initiate breastfeeding, they do not sustain breastfeeding for the recommended 6 to 12 months. In general, Native American mothers' breastfeed for a shorter period of time and mothers in rural setting have fewer resources to support breastfeeding.

Naval Academy Museum Director Announced
Posted on: May 23, 2013 09:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
The Naval Academy Academic Dean and Provost recently announced that Lt. Cmdr. Claude Berube will take over as permanent director in charge of the Naval Academy Museum in Preble Hall.
Berube has served as interim director for more than a year since the retirement of Dr. J. Scott Harmon. The museum director is responsible for the museum's administrative and financial business. He establishes policy, promotes community relations, and gives general guidance to the staff.
"The members of the search committee and I are really impressed with Claude's creativity and vision for what the Naval Academy Museum can do to benefit both the midshipmen and the general public," said Academic Dean and Provost Andrew Phillips.
As interim director, Berube supervised the development of the War of 1812 exhibit in Mahan Hall, comprised of items from the Naval Academy Museum and the collection of William I. Koch. He also advised Ensign Chris O'Keefe in the development of the podcast series "A History of the Navy in 100 Objects."
"In just one year, Claude has opened our eyes to many new ways that the museum can be more fully integrated into the teaching and learning environment, while at the same time headlining our academy efforts in celebrating the bicentennial of the War of 1812," said Phillips. "We are all very excited that he will be leading these kinds of efforts for many years ahead."
Berube, an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, holds two master's degrees, one in history from Northeastern University and one in national security studies from the Naval War College. He was a 2004 Brookings Institution LEGIS Fellow and a 2010 Maritime Security Studies Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. He has worked in the Office of Naval Intelligence and the U.S. Senate, and taught courses in government and national security at the Naval Academy.
The U.S. Naval Academy Museum welcomes more than 100,000 visitors annually from all over the world. It offers two floors of exhibits about the history of seapower, the development of the U.S. Navy, and the role of the U.S. Naval Academy in producing officers capable of leading America's sailors and marines.
The museum displays combine historical artifacts with video and audio technology to bring to life the stories of the men and women who have served their country at sea. The displays follow the story of the U.S. Navy from its birth during the American Revolution to today's modern fleet.
Highlights include Oliver Hazard Perry's famous "Don't Give Up the Ship" flag from the Battle of Lake Erie, a piece of USS Monitor, and a video and light display illustrating the attack on Pearl Harbor. The museum also houses the largest collection of 17th and 18 century ship models on public display in North America.

Surgery is the primary treatment for women with endometrial cancer. Your surgery should be done by a gynecologic oncologist. This doctor is a specialist who has done extra training in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancers.
On the day of your surgery, an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist will give you medication to put you to sleep. The anesthesia also ensures that you won't remember or feel pain during the surgery. The anesthetist or anesthesiologist monitors you during the surgery to be sure you stay healthy and comfortable.
There are different kinds of surgery done to manage endometrial cancer.
The surgeon takes out your uterus and cervix, the top of the vagina that connects to the uterus. Your doctor may also take out some nearby lymph nodes to check them to see if the cancer has spread. This is important to determine the surgical stage and making postoperative treatment decisions. The doctor will do the hysterectomy in one of three ways:
Abdominal hysterectomy. The surgeon makes an incision (cut) that goes from the belly button down to the pubic bone (about 3 inches to 4 inches). The surgeon takes out your uterus and cervix through this opening.
Vaginal hysterectomy. The surgeon takes out the uterus and cervix through the vagina. You'll need a small cut at the top of your vagina. This method is more difficult for the surgeon to do than an abdominal cut, but it may be easier to recover from. That's particularly true if you are overweight. Lymph nodes may also be removed by using laparoscopic surgery.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy. The surgeon makes small incisions in your abdomen. The surgeon places a tool called a laparoscope into one incision. It has a camera attached to a telescope. This tool lets the surgeon see your uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The surgeon places other instruments through other incisions to detach your uterus. The uterus is then removed through your vagina. The surgeon can also check some lymph nodes through the laparoscope. Laparoscopic hysterectomy may be performed using a robotic system controlled by the surgeon. This robotic technique offers improved visualization, precision, and control during the operation. Since the introduction of the robotic technology, more patients have been able to undergo a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of endometrial cancer and thus avoid a large incision.
The surgeon usually takes out both ovaries and both fallopian tubes in women diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Most women with uterine sarcoma have this done. The age of the woman plays a role in the decision to take out the ovaries. The surgeon removes these organs at the same time as the uterus and cervix. In some younger women with early stage endometrial cancers, the ovaries may not need to be removed.
If you have endometrial cancer, the surgeon will likely take out lymph nodes from your pelvis and higher up in your abdomen. This allows your health care team to check for cancer cells. It also helps the surgeon know whether tissue outside the uterus needs to be removed. Cancer cells found in the lymph nodes may mean that cancer has spread. This information helps your doctor plan any further treatment you might need. Lymph nodes can be removed during a hysterectomy. They can also be removed at another time using a laparoscope or via robotic technology. This procedure is called laparoscopic, or robotic lymph node sampling.
This type of surgery is not done as often for endometrial cancer. This surgery is for women whose cancer has spread to the cervix or the tissue around the uterus called the parametrium. The radical hysterectomy may be performed through a traditional abdominal incision or through minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopy or robot-assisted surgery.
The surgeon removes the following:
Tissues next to the uterus called the parametrium and uterosacral ligaments
Cervix, which is the area that connects your vagina to your uterus
The upper part of your vagina
Some nearby lymph nodes in most women
Both ovaries and fallopian tubes in most women

Press Release:
NEW YORK, January 16, 2013 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has acquired forward Brandon Mashinter from San Jose in exchange for forward Tommy Grant and a conditional pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Mashinter, 24, has registered two goals and three assists, along with 44 penalty minutes in 30 games with the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League (AHL) this season. On November 11, he notched his first goal of the season with a power play tally against Providence and, on December 29, recorded the game-winning goal with 3:37 remaining in regulation for a 3-2 victory against Providence. Mashinter registered three points (one goal, two assists) in a five-game span from November 9 against Portland to November 17 against Connecticut.

CANTON Patrick R. Lloyd didnt walk out of St. Lawrence County Court following arraignment Friday afternoon. He ran.
Released under probation supervision, Mr. Lloyd, 25, a suspect in an alleged February kidnapping attempt in Massena, turned around as soon as Judge Jerome J. Richards finished speaking, walked away from probation officials trying to approach him with paperwork and announced, I gotta go to the bathroom as he broke into a sprint toward the courtroom door.
Mr. Lloyds exit made waves in Massena, where village leaders expressed disbelief that the New York City man is still on the streets despite a lengthy criminal history, pending drug and gun charges in Franklin County and the brutality of the alleged kidnapping attempt and despite testing positive for THC, a chemical component in marijuana, prior to being released Friday.
The decision to exonerate Mr. Lloyds bail and to release him under the supervision of probation shocks the conscience, Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said.
The issues this community faces with respect to drugs and violence are well documented. Mr. Lloyd is at the center of it all, yet he has been released. To release him defies logic, Mr. Currier added.
Judge Richards should re-evaluate his role as the protector of the citizens of this county, Massena Mayor James F. Hidy said.
Mr. Lloyd, 25, of New York City, has been staying at a residence on Haskell Street in Massena. Prosecutors say he and his girlfriend, Miranda M. Green, 18, Massena, tried to kidnap another Massena resident, Catherine A. Berry, 17, of 66 Liberty Ave., on Feb. 16.
The pair were indicted by a St. Lawrence County grand jury in early March. Ms. Green was arraigned before Judge Richards on March 25. Like Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Green who is pregnant also tested positive for marijuana use. Like Mr. Lloyd, she also was placed under probation supervision pending further proceedings in the case.
Two days after Ms. Greens arraignment, a car she and Mr. Lloyd were riding in allegedly was shot at by a friend of Ms. Berry, Devian J. Fletcher, 19, another New York City man who told police that Mr. Lloyd had threatened to kill him. Mr. Fletcher and a woman who lived at Ms. Berrys address, Kate J. Javier, 19, are facing charges.
Assistant District Attorney Jonathan L. Becker told Judge Richards Friday that he believed Mr. Lloyd, who was able to post $6,500 cash bail and return to the streets minutes after his original arraignment in Massena, should be subject to stricter bail terms given his lengthy criminal history and the brutality of his alleged crime.
He poses a danger to the community, Mr. Becker told the judge, arguing that witnesses in the case are afraid of Mr. Lloyd, and that he had been involved in criminal activity since his arrest.
Defense attorney Edward F. Narrow said his client had been released on his own recognizance in the Franklin County case, and that he has not failed to appear for any court dates. He objected to characterizing being shot at as being involved in criminal activity.
Chief Currier said he believed the recommendations of the district attorneys office were ignored, and frankly so was the safety of the citizens of Massena.
Contacted later, Judge Richards secretary said the judge indicated that he is not allowed to comment on criminal matters that are currently before him.

All About Bitters (Part 1)
Posted 02 June 2005 - 02:44 PM
"Bitters is for cocktails, as salt is for soup."
Ok, so perhaps that is an oversimplification, but its a description that works well for me. The point I'm trying to make with that is that just as salt "brings out" the flavor in a soup, bitters performs a special bit of magic in a cocktail. And just as you wouldn't want to to actually "taste" the salt in your soup, likewise you don't want to use enough bitters in your cocktail that it tastes of bitters.
Originally, in order for a cocktail to be called a cocktail, it was expected to include bitters. This was essentially true up until around 1900, at which time it is said the "Lone Tree Cocktail" was invented, partially as a dare, to prove that you could actually make a cocktail without bitters. At least that is the story that is related in the appendix to the second edition of the Savoy Cocktail Book.
Bitters was even an ingredient in the Martini (at least in print) up until about 1940. Normally it called specifically for orange bitters.
I often find that bitters provides a special little binding action to the flavors in a cocktail, so it suprises me every time I hear somebody order a drink like the Manhattan (one of the few surviving cocktails that is still expected to include bitters) and specifically call for it to be made without bitters. It is my expectation that at some point in this persons past, they got a little too curious about the contents of that little paper-wrapped bottle and sampled a teaspoon of it straight. This would then prompt them to never want to repeat that mistake, or even include it in any future libations.
A few weeks ago I was visiting a bartender who was showing off one of his creations. It was good, but something was missing. I pulled out a little mini-bottle of Angostura that I often carry with me, and added a few dashes. Perfect! The bartender himself was shocked at the transformation that I performed on his drink with just a couple of dashes. It was clearly the missing ingredient.

At Regan's "Cocktails in the Country" class, as we entered the "classroom" for the first time, Gary was busy dispensing a healthy serving of bitters into each of the drinks he had lined up for the class. I was very afraid by how much he was using until I tasted the drink. That was my epiphany! I wasn't using enough bitters at all when making drinks at home!
Angostura bitters, orange bitters, peychauds bitters - what a wonderful world this is!
Posted 03 June 2005 - 12:30 PM
Bitters was even an ingredient in the Martini (at least in print) up until about 1940. Normally it called specifically for orange bitters.
i recently bought my first bottle of orange bitters, and did indeed add some to a plymouth/noilly prat martini. and it was delicious. it added this depth of flavor to it that isn't really describable, but made a huge difference.
Posted 04 June 2005 - 01:11 AM
I do'n know much about cocktails, but I've always loved bitters (try Angostura 'n' apple cider some day) and lately have been experimenting particularly with cocktails that use their little bit of alchemy.
Last night, with Gin and limes on hand, decided to look to cocktaildb for guidance. Found the Hong Kong Cocktail: 1 oz Gin, 1 oz Dry Vermouth, 1/4 ounce lime juice, dash o' bitters, dash o' sugar.
This was a really swell drink, I have to say, and its swellness was clearly (and by taste test) a result of the role the bitters played in simultaneously making everyone play happy together AND adding their own aromatic fun to the Gin and Vermouth tango.

Along with the rye in a Sazerac, as winesonoma notes, I find Peychaud's flavor combines well with Brandy.

(This link will probably expire soon. Registration may also be required.)
"Orange bitters were a dog for a long time," confirms Joe Fee, whose family business, Fee Brothers of Rochester, N.Y., makes the oldest brand of orange bitters in America today. (According to his father, Jack Fee, it dates to 1951 - when orange bitters were a requisite ingredient in dry martinis.) "We didn't even know why we made them anymore."
Coincidentally, I'd been reading through Baker's "Jigger, Beaker, and Glass" and decided I would give making his "Hellfire Bitters" a try.
This is my take on it. So far it smells quite nice. I'm not exactly sure what kind of peppers I used. Some sort of bird chile, I believe. The small, festively colored and very hot ones that are available here in late summer and fall still attached to their little bushes.
Hellfire Bitters a la Charles Baker Jr.
2 Cups Very Hot Chiles
2 Cups Vodka
2 TBSP Molasses
2 Limes (Quartered)
1/2 tsp. Cinchona (Quinine) Bark Powder
8 Allspice Berries, Crushed
It all goes in the blender and then into a sterilized jar to age for a couple weeks, shaking periodically. Squeeze through cheesecloth and bottle.
Anyone else experimented with making their own bitters?
Edited by eje, 10 November 2005 - 11:39 AM.
Posted 10 November 2005 - 11:15 AM
One of them is Quinine or Calisaia bitters. Are these available anywhere? Or a modern equivalent?
Posted 20 December 2005 - 10:06 AM
I haven't dared taste them directly; but, a dash in a glass with a little simple syrup, juice of half lime or lemon, ice, and soda water makes a fine and bracing tonic. They also make a tastier, if alcoholic, replacement for tabasco or other hot sauces.
I would change the recipe thusly next time:
Hellfire Bitters a la Charles Baker Jr.
2 Cups Very Hot Ripe Chiles
2 Cups Vodka (preferably 100 proof)
2 TBSP Molasses
2 Limes (Quartered)
1/2 tsp. Cinchona (Quinaquina officinalis) Bark Powder
16 Allspice Berries, Crushed
All the standard cautions with very hot chilies apply. Don't get it in your eyes or on other sensitive parts. Don't take a big sniff of the blender. I used some sort of thai bird chilies, as I've never been over fond of the flavor of cayenne peppers. High proof Jamaican rum, like Wray and Nephew might be a nice change from vodka. Along with the cautions about Chilies, Quinine is poisonous in larger doses, so don't get carried away and add huge amounts of that to your bitters.
It all goes in the blender and then into a sterilized jar to age for a couple weeks, shaking periodically. Squeeze through cheesecloth and into another jar to age for a couple more weeks. Rack off or pour carefully and filter through a coffee filter, leaving as much sediment as possible in jar and bottle in a sterilized jar.
edited to clarify some stuff.

The Hellfire Bone:
Shake well with cracked ice:
2 oz 100 or 101-proof rye whiskey (or 100/101 bourbon)
1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon rich simple syrup (the kind made with 2 parts demerara to 1 part water)
3 cautious dashes Baker's Hellfire Bitters.
Strain into chilled tall shot glass and have at it.
The Hellfire Bitters have a cleaner, more piercing heat than the tobasco--a blue flame rather than a red flame. You don't get much but the peppers coming through at first, but some of the other stuff bobs up on the palate after the initial shock has worn off.
There are, according to recent statistics, 147 female bartenders in the United States. In the United Kingdom the barmaid is a feature of the wayside inn, and is a young woman of intelligence and rare sagacity. --The Syracuse Standard, 1895

Along with their cocktail applications, the Hellfire Bitters are probably an effective vermicide.
The next bitters experiment was confused. Initially, I intended to make something like Stoughton Bitters. I thought "Quassia" was "Cassia" and went about starting the mixture below. Later I was reading an herb catalog and realized that "Quassia" was a completely different herb that had nothing to do with Cinnamon.
Clementine Bitters
Peel of 3 Clementines and leaves, sliced thin and steeped in 1 cup vodka
1 stick Mexican Cinnamon
1/8 cup Dried Orange Peel
1/8 cup Chamomile
1/8 cup Gentian Root
4 Bay Leaves
1 Cup Vodka
2 TBSP Blackstrap Molasses
Crush all dry ingredients in a pestle. Steep both of the mixtures for 2 weeks, shaking occasionally, strain through cheesecloth, combine with 2 tbsp Blackstrap.
Age for 2 more weeks, rack or pour off and strain through coffee filter into sterilized containers.

Hmm. I guess three hours each way is a little too much for you to drive up to NYC and buy some Peychaud's at Pegu Club.
Would love to drive up for a bottle of bitters and a cocktail or two, Sam. Real problem on visiting Manhatthan these days is price of a room. Article in the NYT about this just the other day. We used to like to come up for a show and a weekend stay, but it is just too dear these days

Is there any method to the madness of bitters making?
In, "Jigger, Beaker, and Glass," Baker gives three distinct methods.
To my imperfect memory the methods were:
1) Macerate ingredients in spirits, filter and bottle.
2) Macerate ingredients in spirits, filter through cheesecloth. Steep seperated dry ingredients in warm liquid, cool and age. Re-incorporate two essences. Filter and bottle.
3) Briefly cook all ingredients in liquid, cool, add high proof alcohol, age, then filter and bottle.
If I remember correctly, 1 was used for his Angostura clone, 2 for his orange bitters, and 3 for the Hellfire Bitters. The Stoughton bitters recipes I've seen usually use method 1.

Take the seeds and peel, put them in a saucepan, crushing with a wooden muddler. Cover them with boiling water, simmer 5 minutes; put in covered jar for 2 days, then strain this off and add to the spirits. Put in burnt sugar for colour. Filter again, let stand until it settles perfectly clear then bottle for use-being careful not to agitate the slight precipitation or sediment during this final operation.

It is a bit odd.
some thing rather interesting and some what ironic I noticed (& do not remember it being discussed in this rather lengthy thread). The Angostura bitters say quite plainly on the side of the bottle "not made with Angostura bark". Yet the Fee Brothers bitters claim Angostura bark as one of the main ingredients and proudly note it on the front label.
According to this essay on the Drinkboy site, Angostura bitters, the brand, were named after the city in Venezuela they were developed in, not the ingredients, and are made with Quinine Bark.
True Angostura Bark is an altogether different bitter substance that is sometimes used medicinally. This page from botanical.com has details.
I keep forgetting to pick up a bottle of the fee bitters. How do they compare to Angostura?
edit - I was reading back through this fascinating thread and one of the previous posts said Angostura was made with gentian, not quinine. Since Baker's Angostura clone uses Quinine, I had assumed Angostura did too. Reading the Angostura bottle closely, it does say it is a gentian bitters.

……...Cut up as many round red bird pepper, or hot red pod peppers, as is necessary to fill a pint bottle loosely. Over this pour as much sherry, brandy and strained lime juice, as the vacant air spaces will take. Donate one scant tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp quinine powder. Now stand for two weeks on kitchen shelf, uncorked. It is then ready for use. Some stout boiler-plated Britishers even put a dash or 2 in their gin and bitters! The original British mixture used the wine-brandy blend but, ignore the citric fermented juice. . . . Cayenne Wine: means the result of substituting 2 tsp- about 1/4 oz- of Cayenne pepper for the fresh red peppers, in the above routine, omitting the quinine.

Erik: Which version did you recently make.
The recipe I used is upthread a bit, I'll also PM you with it.
I omitted the cooking step and added allspice and a couple limes.
I'm unclear why the cooking step in this or the orange bitters recipe is necessary.

A revival of bitters? Sweeeet!
"From a taste standpoint," says Peter Birmingham, bartender-sommelier at Norman's in West Hollywood, "a bitters makes the mouth water and promotes visual and smell pleasures, because it contains concentrated flavor essences. The bitterness itself makes the flavors [of a drink] extend. Here at Norman's, we hang our hat on a Manhattan made with Peychaud bitters, sweet vermouth and Joshua Brook bourbon."
A fairly long article with a few cocktail recipes.

Strained the clementine bitters and gave in to peer pressure and made a small tea of the solids. After cooling, combined flavored water with flavored vodka and added a cup of 100 proof rye. At this point, it seems I may have gone a bit overboard on the gentian. At least, compared to the other commercial bitters in my cabinet, it seems to be a little more extreme. Perhaps it will settle down with aging.

Posted 09 February 2006 - 11:13 AM
Gary Regan, "The Joy of Mixology" is the best book
amaro – generic Italian term
Agwa – Bolivian liqueur with an attractive bitterness and a slight stimulative effect — contains ginseng, guaraná and (nonnarcotic) coca leaf.
Amaro Braulino – strongly herbal, aged
Amaro Felsina Ramazzotti – vermouth with bitter orange flavors.
Amaro Lucano – decidedly bitter, but without the intensity of Fernet Branca. Very complex, nutty, herbal overtones without a trace of sweetness
Amaro Montenegro – similar in weight and bitterness to Lucano, but with a more citrus and nutty, spiced flavors
Amaro Nonino – grappa style – complex, warm and round flavors
Angostura – cookie-sweet spice (mostly clove) aroma with a winy character
– darkens and mellows young spirits (e.g., rum)
– compliments bittersweet flavors (tonic water, triple sec, Campari)
– with a bit of sugar, balances out bitterness in cheap spirits
Averna – dark, with bitterness rounded out by rich fruit flavors, vanilla and sugar – the fullest bodied amaro
Becherovka – Czech – sweet with a cinnamon/spice flavor
Boonekamp – comes in large bottle (750 ml) but is as strong as rdinary bitters – dark, unsweetened, clove and licorice predominate, with many others in the background
Campari – bitter vermouth with a cherry-like aroma.
Calisaia bitters (quinine) – made in Spain and Italy, hard to find in U.S.
Cynar – sweet vermouth bittered with artichoke.
Dubonnet – vermouth flavored with quinine, herbs and spices.
Fee Brothers, http://www.feebrothe....asp?Category=5
– aromatic (close to Angostura, but has more pronounced cinnamon and clove highlights)
– orange
– mint (too pronounced for anything but cake frosting)
– peach (makes a lovely champagne cocktail, and pairs with fruit juice based drinks quite well, but it gets lost in straight booze)
Fernet Branca – dark, pungently bitter with a strong alcoholic kick – numerous herbs, including peppermint
– Branca Menta – Fenet Branca with a good dose of mint liquor
Jägermeister. Complex herbal flavor; from Germany.
Peychaud's Bitters – brighter than Angostura, with more licorice – complex aroma, with anise and root beer
Punt è Mes – bitter vermouth.
Ramazzotti – medium-dark and quite bitter, but not as intense as Fernet Branca or as round as Averna
Regan's Orange Bitters #6 – from D&D or http://www.buffalotr...om/giftshop.asp – expensive shipping, so order several things – spicy, aggressively flavored with gentian, quinine and cardamom. Other orange bitters are not good.
Stirrings blood orange bitters – http://www.stirrings...bloodorange.php or from Sur La Table, http://www.surlatable.com/ – not as robust as Angostura, Peychaud, or Regan's #6, but more flavor components than Fee's orange. They're non-alcoholic, which limits their intensity, and since they didn't use alcohol to extract the flavors, the flavors are more muted as well.
Suze – French aperitif; flavors of gentian, orange and vanilla.
Torani Amer – sweet vermouth with orange, gentian and quinine flavors, somewhat reminiscent of Amer Picon, a traditional Basque vermouth not available in this country.
Underberg – in single-serving bottles – roundly herbal, and quite pleasant straight

With its last-minute New Year's Day deal, Congress has pulled Americans back ever so slightly from two approaching precipices. First, of course, was the "fiscal cliff," which has received most of the attention. But the agreement also kept the country from driving over the "dairy cliff," which could have caused milk prices to double in fairly short order.
As The New American reported in late December, because Congress had not passed a new farm bill to replace the one that expired in September, federal milk policy in 2013 was set to revert to that of the Agricultural Act of 1949, the last permanent farm bill passed. That law requires the federal government to purchase milk at about twice the current market price to help cover dairy producers' costs. Under such a policy, farmers would naturally choose to sell to Uncle Sam first, creating shortages that would drive the price of milk up to perhaps double its current price, causing headaches for both consumers and food processors that use dairy products.
The latest legislative compromise averts this potentially disastrous outcome by extending portions of the current farm bill through September. That means the government will continue its existing policy of purchasing dairy products from farmers only when the price of milk falls below a set minimum — something that has not occurred in recent years — for the next nine months, after which the 1949 policy will take effect if another farm bill is not passed.
In addition, the farm bill extension continues existing crop subsidies, paid regardless of commodity prices, to the tune of $5 billion a year. In farm bills being considered last year, both the Senate and the House of Representatives had eliminated those subsidies.

HAMMOND – The Hammond Central School Board of Education will meet today to discuss a settlement agreement with Superintendent Douglas H. McQueer, whose contract was recently terminated over what board members have called performance issues.
Board President Timothy W. Pitcher said Tuesday he could not comment about the meeting since board members will discuss personnel matters in executive session.
Our lawyers are in talks, and someone will prepare a statement after the executive session, he said. Hopefully after Wednesday an agreement will be reached.
Mr. McQueers contract was set to expire at the end of July.
Mr. McQueer was reappointed at the July 9 board meeting, but after a 15-minute executive session, board members voted not to renew his contract. The president and vice president of the board fired Mr. McQueer the next day.
During the boards last meeting, after residents criticized the boards actions, Mr. Pitcher said the contract between Mr. McQueer and the school board is open and board members would reconsider his contract renewal.
The board has since decided to stand firm on its July 9 vote.
Right now, were focused on getting the agreement done, Mr. Pitcher said. The whole body is in agreement with the situation.
Mr. McQueer said he could not comment on the potential terms of the settlement, but more than likely he will serve until Oct. 1 while the board seeks his replacement.
Mr. Pitcher said he could not discuss the reason why the board elected not to renew Mr. McQueers contract.
Previously he said the firing was the result of an ongoing issue of job performance, poor evaluation scores and the boards desire to move in a new direction.
Mr. McQueer has served the district as superintendent for seven years and as math teachers for 11 years.
The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the school library.

Utopias for Africa
21 May 13
"Today Africa is the victim of unprecedented violence and we cannot be a party in it. The continent is being pillaged in every way: for its resources below ground, and for its fertile land above."
With these words, Slow Food's president Carlo Petrini opened the discussion on land grabbing at the Biennale Democrazia, a cultural event organized by the City of Turin. Land grabbing - the purchase or long-leasing of fertile land by private companies or foreign governments - is spreading like a virus around the world, especially in Africa. At the meeting "Utopias for the Earth," Mario Calabresi, editor of national Italian newspaper La Stampa, led the dialogue between Petrini and Stefano Liberti, journalist, documentary filmmaker and author of Landgrabbing: Journeys in the New Colonialism.
"Land grabbing is the sale of huge plots of fertile land at ridiculously low prices, often with very serious consequences for local communities," explained Liberti. "This happens more and more often, especially in Africa, but also in other continents. Many governments are corrupt and give away thousands of hectares in exchange for a vague promise of development. Luckily, though, the topic is slowly entering public debate, thanks also to the awareness raising activities of more structured farming communities."
Land grabbing is not a new phenomenon, but in the last few years it has grown dramatically. "With the 2008 crisis of food prices," explained Liberti, "the first to start the rush for fertile land were sovereign funds. The skyrocketing prices of staples scared many countries, especially those which depended the most on imports, such as Saudi Arabia: what would they eat soon, oil? If you can't secure food, you can at least buy the land to produce it."
However, today the greatest threat – due to the speed of exchanges, the lack of transparency and the severity of the impact – comes from financial capitalism. Many pension funds are investing in land, with terrible consequences on local populations. Often, subscribers of such plans are not aware of these forms of speculation.
"Land grabbing is a more aggressive form of neocolonialism than the armed one," said Petrini. "We need to stop this violence. In some African countries there is no cadastre, and land is traditionally managed according to common law. Multinationals freely buy thousands of hectares of land and local populations find themselves with no land to graze their animals or produce their food. We also need to fight to change the existing system of EU subsidies: the current model allows European agro-industrial producers to sell food in Africa at lower prices than local products."
The uncontrolled sale of land threatens the very survival of local populations and their food sovereignty, and creates an irremediable fracture in the transfer of knowledge from elders to children. "Land grabbing is the expression of a cultural model which is the exact opposite of small-scale farming," stressed Liberti. "In Mali, or in Senegal, this phenomenon goes hand in hand with intensive farming, chemical treatments and monocultures."
"Instead it is family farming which will solve the emergency," said Petrini. "With Slow Food's Thousand Gardens in Africa project we have sown the seeds of hope. Now we want to see them bloom."

Nice list. Got links?
Thanks mcangeli for giving us this forum. Anyways as the first topic I think it may be helpful to keep a database of books/resources that people find useful. Heres what I have on my desk
vi pocketbook
Linux 3D
STL Tutorial and Reference
OpenGL Programmers Guide (the red book)
College Physics book
College Calc book
Game Programming Gems (1 through 4)
Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Linux Kernel
Shellcoders Handbook
Other books I found/find useful:
Tcp/IP administration
Operating Systems Textbook from school
online resources:
intels instruction reference
and last but far from least:
Nice list. Got links?
for the online resources:
http://www.intel.com <--- there are many resources there
AoA is at http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Linux/
and google.... http://google.com/linux
Another good source of online documentation is http://www.gnu.org
and of course: http://www.tldp.org
The others are books, not web-pages
Can't forget The Linux Cookbook!
When I was learning how to use Linux a few years ago TLC was _invaluable_ to me. I think all newbies that don't have a *nix background should have a copy; there's a minimum of wordy bullshit and a maximum of concise, helpful descriptions and good examples of commands. Man pages are meant to be used as references by people who already more or less know what they're doing; TLC is designed to *teach* people how to use Linux.

Fourteen years after Dusty Springfield's death, her finest album is still one of the great classics of rock and soul. Written by Linnea Crowther. Originally published March 2012.
Dusty in Memphis (Wikimedia Commons/Rhino
When Dusty Springfield's career was lagging in 1968, she didn't give in – nor did she release a halfhearted rehash of her old material in an attempt to recapture the fame of old singles. No, what Springfield did was travel across the ocean, assemble some of the greatest producers and writers and session musicians of the day, and record one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of all time.
Dusty in Memphis was a meticulously-crafted record, overseen by Springfield herself, a notorious perfectionist who rejected most of the songs initially proposed and later rerecorded her vocals to further refine the record's sound. Famous producers were in charge of the album – Jerry Wexler, producer of Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, among them – but Springfield was used to self-producing her albums, and she kept some creative control over Dusty in Memphis. Elvis's backing band provided the rhythm, and songwriters like Randy Newman and Carole King contributed tracks.
The result was stunning.
The album only made it to No. 99 on the U.S. Billboard charts, but in hindsight, it's regarded as one of the finest albums of the century. And for more than 40 years, it has influenced new music. Dusty Springfield blazed a trail for the white soul singers of the new millennium – without her, there might have been no Amy Winehouse, no Lana Del Ray or Florence Welch… no Adele. Adele has already won more Grammy awards than Springfield (Dusty in Memphis was nominated but didn't win), but she can thank that 1968 Memphis sound, in part, for her success.
Adele – "Rolling in the Deep"
Dusty Springfield – "I Don't Want to Hear it Anymore"

Are there any PPA?
If no, how to make it from sources? Which dev libs I'll need to do this?
As you possibly already realized,
There is indeed an official PPA for
If you for some reason need a newest version, then you might download the code and build/install
Here is the way I did it on Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) and 14.04 (Trusty Tahr):
I have not found an "official" PPA for new tmux packages. However a PPA search on launchpad turns up quite a few options.
Many are out of date, but I found a ppa by pi-rho that has current tmux and tmux-next packages for 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04. (At the time of this answer they are at versions 1.8-1ubuntu1~ppa2 and 1.9~20130425~bzr3062+9-1ubuntu1~ppa0). There is no guarantee that that PPA will continue to be maintained up-to-date, but for now it seems like a fair option.
Be aware that it also has a number of other packages in it. If you add this PPA you will find the other packages also get upgraded unless you do some sort of apt pin config.

You may need to get a different file if you are running a different processor architecture (e.g. i386). Then, I used dpkg to install it:
