- How to Read a Study Record
Studies show, guidelines state, and performance measures assert that antibiotic prescribing for uncomplicated acute bronchitis is inappropriate. However, clinicians prescribe antimicrobials in over 60% of the 22.5 million acute bronchitis visits in the United States each year. Previous successful interventions have only reduced the antimicrobial prescribing rate to 40% or 50%. It is unknown if the antimicrobial prescribing rate for acute bronchitis can be brought to near zero percent in actual practice while maintaining patient safety and satisfaction. The goal of this study is to develop an Electronic Health Record (EHR)-integrated algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of adults with acute bronchitis with a goal of reducing the antibiotic prescribing rate to near zero percent.

With a long and rich history, Epiphone is one of America's oldest and most revered instrument makers. Over 125 years ago, Anastasios Stathopoulo opened a small instrument factory in Smyrna, Turkey. Years later, his son Epaminondas, or Epi for short, took over the family business which had relocated to America. He renamed the company Epiphone, a combination of his name and 'phone', the Greek word for sound. For a while, the company produced exclusively banjos, which were the most popular instrument in America at the time. Then in 1928, Epiphone introduced its first line of acoustic guitars. Today, Epiphone offers affordable guitars and basses for every player in every genre, regardless of budget or ability.

White Tea
White teas are not oxidized or de-enzymed (heated by pan-firing or steaming) – they are the least processed of all teas, basically left to dry with as little handling as possible. A white tea may be more oxidized than a green tea because the natural oxidation process is not stopped by heat – that's why some white teas are a darker brownish colour than some green teas.

18 U.S. Code § 5034 - Duties of magistrate judge
The magistrate judge shall insure that the juvenile is represented by counsel before proceeding with critical stages of the proceedings. Counsel shall be assigned to represent a juvenile when the juvenile and his parents, guardian, or custodian are financially unable to obtain adequate representation. In cases where the juvenile and his parents, guardian, or custodian are financially able to obtain adequate representation but have not retained counsel, the magistrate judge may assign counsel and order the payment of reasonable attorney's fees or may direct the juvenile, his parents, guardian, or custodian to retain private counsel within a specified period of time.
The magistrate judge may appoint a guardian ad litem if a parent or guardian of the juvenile is not present, or if the magistrate judge has reason to believe that the parents or guardian will not cooperate with the juvenile in preparing for trial, or that the interests of the parents or guardian and those of the juvenile are adverse.
If the juvenile has not been discharged before his initial appearance before the magistrate judge, the magistrate judge shall release the juvenile to his parents, guardian, custodian, or other responsible party (including, but not limited to, the director of a shelter-care facility) upon their promise to bring such juvenile before the appropriate court when requested by such court unless the magistrate judge determines, after hearing, at which the juvenile is represented by counsel, that the detention of such juvenile is required to secure his timely appearance before the appropriate court or to insure his safety or that of others.

Outlook: Hammond (20-2) is making a second straight visit to the state playoffs thanks in part to a defense that has allowed opponents only 31 points per game. The Red Devils beat Heuvelton 43-40 in the Section 10 championship game, and Hammonds only losses this season are against Class B schools Ogdensburg Free Academy and Salmon River. The Red Devils are led by 6-foot senior Alyssa Crosby, who is this years Jan Reetz Award winner. Crosby averages 18.6 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.9 steals. Sophomore Courtney Bova averages 7.9 points and senior Gabby Marshall averages 7.1. ... Elizabethtown-Lewis (19-1) defeated Moriah 49-34 in the Section 7 championship game. The Lions are led by Lily Whalen, who averages 14.8 points, and Shonna Brooks, who averages 12. Brooks scored 19 points in the championship game and Whalen added 18.

Top Ten Songs Banned From Use In Political Campaigns (page 10)
January 17, 2012 1:51 PM
1. "I Won't Back Down" – [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Tom Petty[/lastfm]
Tom Petty threatened to sue then governor George W. Bush if he didn't stop using his hit on the campaign trail. Then just minutes after Al Gore conceded from the race, Petty performed the song at Gore's house, backed by none other than his wife Tipper on drums.

OGDENSBURG The search for a new executive director for the Frederic Remington Art Museum may begin later this month.
Julie H. Cliff, a trustee and the search committee chairwoman, said Monday that a 30-day multimedia advertising campaign to recruit a replacement for Edward A. LaVarnway is scheduled to begin March 1.
But if a six-member committee consisting of representatives from the museums board of trustees, its international advisory board and museum curator Laura A. Foster manage to agree on a job description and the scope of the advertising campaign, It could be sooner than that, Mrs. Cliff said.
Mr. LaVarnway, executive director since 2005, wants to leave by June 1 but has agreed to stay until his replacement is hired and familiarized with the job.
Ed has been very gracious to help us have a smooth transition, Mrs. Cliff said.
The Museum Trustee Association, Washington, D.C., will advise the Remington trustees on how best to carry out the recruitment process, Mrs. Cliff said.
Other search committee members are board President William J. Cavanaugh, Vice President Kathleen R. Wade, Secretary Dianne Drayse Alonzo, international advisory board member and noted museum supporter Alan P. Newell and trustees Catherine B. Newell and Scott M. Wright.
The museum is at 303 Washington St.

The Jonas Brothers shockingly cancelled their upcoming tour yesterday -- and these just-released interviews with the boys hinted at some tension behind-the-scenes.
While he claimed the guys "really enjoy our time together," Nick Jonas admits to Men's Fitness that working with his brothers Joe and Kevin can sometimes be tough.
"The con is that you're with the same people every day for a long time, which, if you're family or not, can be a lot at times," he tells the mag.
As for their changing music styles -- rumored to be a big fighting point between the three members -- Nick adds: "It definitely comes with challenges. There are a lot of different ways you can approach coming to maturity, but the one we took is to continue to grow with the fans and take our time with it because it'll last longer."
Each brother reportedly had a different vision of where they wanted to take the band, ranging from pop to hard rock ... according to TMZ.
In another interview, done the day before they announced the cancellation, Joe talked about the group's previous 3-year hiatus.
"For us, we were like, let's not implode and let's just take some time off and really kind of refocus on what we want to do," he told KDWB.
The radio station says the guys seemed "a little tense" during the interview -- but they thought the three performers were just tired.
What do you think is really going on here? Sound off below!

POTSDAM The Clarkson University mens hockey team faces what has traditionally been its toughest road trip of the season this weekend.
The Golden Knights (2-5-5 overall, 2-1-1 ECAC Hockey) play at Cornells Lynah Rink at 7 tonight and play at Colgate at 4 p.m. Saturday.
Clarkson has gone 1-3-1 at Lynah Rink the past five years and the Golden Knights are 0-3-2 at Colgate in the same span.
The road trip has also led to stumbles in subsequent games. Last year, Clarkson went 1-4-1 in the six games after this trip and two years ago it went 3-6 after the trip. The year before that the Golden Knights went 4-6-1 after this trip and four years ago Clarkson went 1-5 after the visit to central New York.
We look at every weekend the same, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. The ECAC games are tough and its always tough on the road.
Both opponents are actually behind Clarkson the standings, when going by win percentage. Cornell (4-3-2 overall) is 1-3-2 in conference play and Colgate (6-6-2) is 2-3-1.
But the Big Red is coming off a 5-1 win over Michigan last weekend in Madison Square Garden in a nationally televised game.
Obviously (Cornell) looks like theyve righted the ship, said Jones, who was an assistant with the Big Red two years ago.
The visit to Cornells Lynah Rink is one that gets the attention of Clarksons players because it features what may be the most passionate fans in the conference. Cornells fans actually research players for taunts, and will mention a mother by name, or a sister. In a playoff series six years ago, Cornells fans blew up a photo of several Clarkson players sitting in a hot tub at a party and held it up in their sight as they came out of the locker room onto the ice.
Ive heard a lot about Cornells rink, freshman forward Pat Megannety said. Its a fun place to play. It gets pretty rowdy, so that should be a good experience. Its a new experience for all the freshmen and it should be pretty fun.
The Golden Knight who will get the most abuse from Cornells fans is freshman goalie Greg Lewis.
I heard its a good atmosphere and its loud there, Lewis said. Thats all I really now. Ive never been there before. (Taunting) drives me to play a little better, to be honest. Its just part of the game when you play at other teams rinks.
Jones, who played at Cornell, knows the taunting well. When he returned with Clarkson as a young assistant coach in the early 90s the fans were calling him a traitor.
I just know its going to be hard fought, Jones said of the game. (Cornell) hasnt started where they wanted to be in league play, but the Michigan game was a big step. They are hungry to get things going. They are a good team and they are deep. Colgate is explosive and can skate.
The top forward from Joness first full recruiting class has been Megannety, a native of Oakville, Ontario.
Megannety, who played for the Georgetown Raiders last year, ranks fourth on the team in scoring with five goals and two assists. His five goals rank second to Jarrett Burton, who has six. Megannety has also excelled on special teams, with two power-play goals and a shorthanded goal last weekend against Rochester Institute of Technology.
I worked hard in the summer, Megannety said. Ive had a lot of help with my linemates (Allan McPherson and Ben Sexton for most of the year). They are older guys which makes the transition easier. You just have to take it game by game.
Megannety was a big scorer last year as well, tallying 26 goals and 20 assists in 41 junior games.
Clarkson did not have enough healthy players to scratch anyone from last weekends lineup and actually played RIT with only 17 skaters, instead of the usual 18.
But the Golden Knights are healing and only had three players Sexton, Adam Pawlick and Mike Garlasco sitting out of practice this week.
We are bringing some guys off the injury list and that will afford us a little bit of depth in the lineup, Jones said. Its getting better. Some guys probably could have gone (last) Friday, but being nonleague play, we wanted to make sure we didnt get guys nicked up. Were trying to make sure we make precautionary decisions heading into ECAC play. Well have a few bodies back, but injuries are part of the equation.
Last Fridays 3-3 tie against RIT was in Rochester, but a look at the stands made it hard to tell it was not a neutral site or even a Clarkson home game.
It was awesome, Megannety said. We had a whole section behind our bench, pretty much full of Clarkson alumni. That support is huge. Any time you get that, its big.
Said defenseman James Howden, They were louder than the other fans. It was like a home game rather than a neutral site.

I'd prefer if in A&D the points system was 4 points for a cap, 3 points for touching flag and fragging enemy, 2 points for just fragging them, 1 point for just the touch like it was in Threewave Capturestrike. I think its a bit ridiculous that changing these settings on start a match forces the game to unranked since those settings make more sense. :)
Seems to be a lot of activity in this mode when the samplers are made, would be great if it was made Standard so that pro users like me could spawn servers for lots of people to join.

Mets have scouted Javier Vazquez
The Mets have scouted free-agent RHP Javier Vazquez during this year's Puerto Rico winter league, according to Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger.
The Red Sox, Rays, Braves, Marlins Nationals, and Royals have all been said to have scouted Vazquez this winter.
However, Vazquez recently told MLB.com he has yet to decide whether to play for an MLB team in 2013.
Earlier this month, a scout who watched him said Vazquez looks good, the ball is coming out of his hand well, and he could be a 'sneaky good pick up,' according to Yahoo!'s Tim Brown.

Wisconsin is now poised to be the 49th state to permit the carrying of concealed firearms, if Gov. Scott Walker signs into law a bill which passed the state's house and senate with strong majority votes.
Once Walker signs the bill, Illinois will be the last state which utterly refuses to recognize the right of citizens to self-defense. An article for the Journal Sentinel (reprinted at wisconsinconcealedcarry.com) reports:
Wisconsin stands on the verge of becoming the 49th state in the country to allow citizens to carry concealed guns, after the state Assembly voted to legalize that practice Tuesday.

|Officer back to work after shootings
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 21 May 2007 07:26
Banner Elk Officer Fred Shrader is back to work today, according to Chief Bill Burleson.
Shrader is doing well, according to Burleson. Shrader is not permitted to comment on the shooting. The SBI is investigating the incident, which occurred near Pappy's Barbeque two Saturdays ago. Shrader allegedly fired at a vehicle to protect himself and other officers. Two suspects were shot, but have been released from the hospital. 20-year-old Crystal Marie Arnold of Roan Mountain and 27-year-old Nathaniel Scott Rainbolt of Hampton were initially under suspicion of drunk driving. The two were in a pickup police believe was stolen from Mountain City. Shrader fired when a roadblock set up north of Pappy's Barbeque failed to stop the suspects. The State Bureau of Investigation always investigates officer-involved shootings.

Let's Step on the General Manager Carousel …
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
The Jets are likely looking to see if they can do better than their current GM and the biggest beef is that the man at the top needs more football acumen. That while Tannenbaum's lawyerly and accounting savvy ways have been good for the team, that they won't matter if they can't match value to talent. One of Mike Tannenbaum's biggest strength might be getting the best value in trades and such, his draft history from 2008-2010 should now be paying the biggest dividends on the team, and his evaluation has just not lived up to what the Jets need.
Mike Tannenbaum has also had to live with Rex Ryan — who for as good a football evaluator as he might be — seems to get his accelerator pedal stuck to the floor with players and can miss his evaulations on what really matters when talent translates to money and draft picks. The Jets might feel like they need a strong hand at talent evaluation — but I have to wonder if it's not necessarily because Tannenbaum have it … but because Rex Ryan is so go-go-go with players once he likes them. He needs someone strong enough from a evaluation standpoint to tell him no. While I love QC, the Quinton Coples draft day story about Rex Ryan is a perfect example of this.
While the Jets might have pulled out of the tailspin with their more recent draft classes, Tannenbaum's tenure is still up in the air as the Jets slide to their first losing season since 2007. If the Jets are going to look at a new general manager, that's fine by me, but they have to really consider what dead wood they are going to cut out of the organization in the process. For the Jets to "re-assign" Mike Tannenbaum inside the organization, I think that would be a big mistake. Ari Nissim is a very competent person at his job and he can handle the contract and "look-ahead" stuff for future cap years just fine. Tannenbaum isn't such of a "Beautiful Mind" that he's the only one on the planet who can make these numbers align. If the Jets keep Tannenbaum AND Bradway — both guys who had been GM of this team at one time inside the organization while bringing in new blood — it could be a fatal mistake.
It was awkward, but made more sense with Bradway, since Tannenbaum was so young. Honestly, I feel like if the Jets were to move on but keep Tannenbaum in the organization, it would be worse than just letting him continue to be GM. Woody Johnson seems to fear giving his GM too much power, a notion which seems absurd when you consider Johnson's knowledge of the game.
If the Jets are truly looking into making a change at the GM spot, then here's some potential names that came to mind that the Jets might look into. We'll update this list later as more names become available.
The Inside Job
Scott Cohen — It's hard to know who might be the in-house candidate for the Jets, but if I had to put my money on anyone, it would be Scott Cohen. Cohen started as a scout and even played sports collegiately at Dickinson and has worked for a number of other organizations (most notably the Eagles) where he was the Director of Pro Personnel before taking on the Assistant GM spot with the Jets. I get the sense that he and Ryan are friendly, so that's good. Cohen has done talent evaluation for pro players and for the draft for years already and might be a smart in-house promotion for the Jets.
Outside In
Joey Clinkscales — It's an apocryphal tale, but one that's often told about the Jets 2008 draft class was that the scouting department and Eric Mangini were at loggerheads over who the Jets pick should be. Mangini wanted Gholston, and the scouting department wanted CB Leodis McKelvin. Tannenbaum let Mangini win and the rest is history. McKelvin has had an up and down career, but he's been far better than Gholston, and would have cemented a very solid CB tandem for the Jets across from Revis that they then chased for two more years before landing Cromartie via trade — and which is going to cost the team a ton of money next year. The man at the head of the collegiate scouting department of course is Joey Clinkscales and who is now working for the Raiders as of this year. Would the Jets want to bring Clinkscales back? If so, I'd have to imagine that the Jets would do so at the cost of some others in the organization that Clinkscales would feel like need to be culled from his own personal experience …
Up And Comers
Mike Maccagnan — If the Jets opt to get some fresh blood, Mike Maccagnan might be a good choice. He's overseen a great few draft classes in Texas, and seems to go for the motor player more than the talent. That might complement Rex Ryan well. Mac has spent most of his career inside the Texans organization as a scout and could be someone who's seem what it's like to build a franchise from the bottom up.
Eric DeCosta — Scoring Eric DeCosta would like be taking home the hottest girl at the party and doing so by prying her off the arm of another guy. DeCosta has been promised the GMship when (and if) Ozzie Newsome retires and the Ravens have set up a contract for DeCosta with that in mind. DeCosta seems like the NFL's next "can't miss" GM – so would likely command more from a decision-making perspective. DeCosta has done a great job of helping run the Ravens and has learned at the knee of one of the best in the business. DeCosta has history with Ryan from their Baltimore days, and has worked his way up inside the Ravens organization.
Second Chances
Ted Sundquist — Sundquist was the GM for the Broncos during the Shanahan years and did a good job of assembling talent around the organization with the team getting to the 13-3 high water mark in 2005. Sundquist was let go when the team moved on to the failed Josh McDaniels experiment.
Marty Hurney — Hurney of course was fired mid-season this year from the Panthers once Carolina started on a 1-5 slide to begin the 2012 season and Cam Newton had a tough start of the year. Hurney presided over the organization for ten years and Jerry Richardson the owner of the Panthers who is known as a 'bottom line guy' fired Hurney for not seeing the team as a playoff contender out of the gate. Hurney is known as a tireless and exhaustive evaluator of talent around the league.
Not Yet Available
Tom Heckert — It's hard to know how deep the
Eagles Browns will cut this offseason … but could Tom Heckert be released? If so, he might be an interesting candidate for the Jets as they look to re-tool. Of course the thought is that he'll want more latitude than a team like the Jets seem to be willing to give any potential GM they hire.

She's helping to organize the National Ayurvedic Medical Association's annual conference, and sits on the board of the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine. She gives public talks about ayurvedic medicine through the Planetree Health Library. She works with a free clinic in San Lorenzo, California, to provide CAM remedies to people without health insurance, and she is working with the Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, California, to initiate complementary medicine modalities to benefit patients.
If it seems like she's at the center of a very big movement in medicine now, she says it started out with very small steps. Even before she decided to go back to graduate school, she would go to medical conferences and just ask questions.
"It was a slow process. I wanted to explore what I was becoming aware of, that science can be limiting, and that healing can be more expansive and inclusive at once," she remembers. "I thought about it for years, I went to conferences, and tried to see how I could blend what I had done with this new awakening in me."
Eventually, she decided that a full course of study was the best way to go, and "I decided to go further and get a PhD."
Saybrook jumped out at her as a place to get it. "It wasn't just one thing," she remembers. "Saybrook had a program in consciousness and spirituality, it taught organizational systems, it had very good faculty for complementary medicine … all that resonated."
She enrolled in the Psychology program, took a concentration in Integrative Health Studies, and found what she was looking for.
"It worked to suit my schedule, and it worked to serve my interests," she says. "It's not a conventionally minded program: I was able to interact with my professors to shape the assignments I did because they were interested in where I wanted to go. I really enjoyed the experience, and I think it's perfect for people who have gone through conventional studying – both undergraduate and graduate, like I had."
Now she's is looking forward to taking on the next challenge: ayurvedic medicine needs to be better accepted in the medical profession, and to do that there needs to be more high quality research supporting its effectiveness.
"We're struggling to get more money to support that research," she admits. "But I've found in my own experience that conventional doctors do understand these things, and are glad to use it, if we speak in their language – and that means we need the research to be done so that we can bring it to them. I am looking for opportunities to be involved in promoting CAM and ayurveda through research and education."

A 2-channel, 50W version of the JVM410C Combo
In a nutshell, the Marshall all-valve, 2-channel JVM215C is a 2-channel, 50W version of the most versatile Marshall amplifier ever made, the JVM410C. Each of its 2 channels are completely independent of each other, and they boast 3 Modes, all 6 of which are footswitchable and feature their own unique gain structure. It makes the JVM 2-channel effectively 6 Marshalls in one!
The JVM215C has studio-quality digital reverb with a level control for each channel. This is also footswitchable, as are the amp's two Master Volume controls and the Series/Parallel effects loop. Resonance and Presence are equipped with master controls.
An ingenious footswitch (UK patent pending) and the fact all the amp's switching (channel/modes, Reverb, Master Volume selection, FX loop) can be done via MIDI and you're looking at an incredibly flexible amp! The 4-way footswitch boasts LEDs and memory, plus it connects to the amp via a regular guitar cable.
From the cleanest clean to the filthiest distortion ever found in a Marshall and all points in-between, the JVM215C all-valve combo will give you whatever tone you need right when you need it.
Order today and rock Marshall style.

Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
Over many years of playing and live gigging, I've experimented with much of the Fender line (Deluxe Reverb, Super Reverb, Twin(great amp!), Valvestate and Solid State Marshalls, Marshall Mini Bluesbreaker (1974x) and lately, the Egnater Tweaker 40 with 2 12" speaker cabs. Many of these are great amps but I haven't found one amp that I could use in just about any situation. This JVM 215C may just be the answer. Its 2 channel, 3 mode per channel configuration with 2 Master volume controls allows lots of versatility and you can use that second Master as a volume boost. In the clean channel, there's enough headroom so that even a Les Paul can sound pretty clean even at pretty high volume, and it sounds great with a Strat as well. The tone is awesome across the board. I have to admit that the "Resonance" and "Presence" controls don't really modify the sound to a great degree, but that's minor. The four way footswitch works well and I've only begun to explore the options of storing settings. I've gigged with the amp and am completely satisfied...no concerns whatsoever. Highly recommended!

Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
I bought this amp as an upgrade to my existing Marshall 50DFX amp. The JVM215C is definitely a huge step up and will use it for live performances and recording. I use this with my Les Paul Traditional and the two are perfectly matched. If you're looking for a versatile tube amp that seemlessly switches tone, power and reverb this is the one. The highs are signature Marshall; the lows and midrange have a depth and soul all their own, at all power levels. Love this amp, and would definitely recommend if you want that classic Marshall sound...

I think this is the best made guitar amp today.The programable footswitch and the switchable on and off of the effects loop makes it perfect for my setup.Now I am a tone purest, so after I recieved this amp,I have it modded with Mercury magnetics,high quality filter caps and Mercury choke it does run into a lot of money,but the quality of heavy duty Mercury transformers makes it sound like the quality built amps of them good old days.Just Marshall heaven.None better.but even out of the box its an excellent product.

Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
This is the best Marshall they ever made, the JVM is king, tone of gain & tons of cleans! I dont even know why anyone would need the 4 channel, you get 6 sounds with this one! It is my go to amp for everything now!
Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
like most have said before, plenty of gain (i hardly ever use OD red) and versitility between modes, features and foot switch. would recommend a noise gate as there is a lot of hiss, maybe more than a similar mesa boogie i almost got. can shape nicely to a variety of blues, classic rock or metal. i play mostly metallica, megadeth, slayer and can shape it nicely to these. this is my 3rd marshall amp
i've read that this is like the clean and OD2 channels from the jvm410 (leaving out crunch and OD1), 3 modes each giving you 6, as stated earlier. you can change the EQ, presence, gain, etc between green and OD channels, but not within these. can foot switch the other volume to give you a lead volume, can also customize the foot switch to combine reverb, volume, channel/mode, etc. seems nicely versitile. plenty loud as most 50w amps are unless you're playing a big venue. light enough to move around but not too far. the foot pedal has a nice long cord and works with any guitar cable, which is nice
overall i've had good experience with marshalls but i had to send this amp back twice. both crapped out on me after about a month. returned both to MF without a problem.... just had to wait. so far #3 seems to be working fine. both had tube problems that i didn't want to mess with - just returned them both
priced pretty close to mesa boogie rectoverb, other 50w tube amps with similar features
Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
Just fantastic. I really can't say enough good things about this amp. My search is over! I no longer have to even bother looking at amps anymore.
This is a great sounding feature filled amp.
You have 2 channels and 3 different modes per channel.
It goes from clean, to blusey to rockin, hard rocking and metal. More gain on tap that I beleive anyone could use.
So you start out clean (nice clean sound), the next mode adds just a little bit of crunch so it sounds like clean with OD, and the 3rd mode on the clean channel adds more gain and sounds very classic rock. And that is just the clean channel!
The overdrive channel starts where the 3rd clean channel left off and goes on from there great for harder rock and singing solos.The footswitch itsself is pretty amazing. It comes standard to scroll through the modes, turn reverb on/off and mater volume on/off. But you can program it in a variety of different ways. Too much to explain in a small review.
This is the most versitile straight up tube amp out there.
Every mode sounds great!
This one is made in England and they do a real nice job with quality. It is built like a tank and looks great!
I don't like to bash other amps, but all I can say is; pay the few extra hundred and get one of these or something made in the USA.
The quality indise and out is beyond comparison.
After trying out several cheaper amps in my opinion this is well worth the money. Knowing what I do now about "others" amps and this one, I would pay more for this JVM.
Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
It's compact but it sounds BIG, I first had the Peavey 6505+ combo and I returned it and took the JVM15. The JVM15 is high gain so you wont need any overdrive to push the distortion unless you want to shape it a bit. The orange mode is enough for play any metal style and it has a big nice bottom end (I sounds awesome with low tunings too). Clean channel is also impressive, you know, Marshall clean. the emulated XLR output is excellent for silent recording or for live performance through a PA. Overall great buy you cant go wrong with it.
Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
Sweet sparkling cleans, lots of pushed Blues tones on to Classic Rock and beyond. I have a TSL 60 combo also and this is so much better at any volume. The TSL sounds muddy until you open it up, this JVM is clear and crunchy all the way through the volume range and I think it nails all the great Marshall tones. It does an amazing hot rodded JCM 800 tone, worth the price for that alone.
Comments about Marshall JVM Series JVM215C 50W 1x12 Tube Combo Amp:
I think I finally found it! After trying everything from Peavey, to Fender, to Line 6, to Mesa Boogie... this is what I was looking for! I liked my other amps and still own a Line 6 Spider Valve but I LOVE this amp! I play mostly blues and rock and I could not ask for a sweeter sound. The only reason I gave it a 4.5 for value is because I think it's slightly over-priced. The footswitch is simple to program and does whatever you need it to do. Marshall found a way to take a 2 channel amp and make it as versatile as a modeling amp but with the authentic soul and sound of a Marshall. I can't stop playing it! Marshall Forever!

TV at the Alamo
|The American Electorate
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
This has been a pretty historic campaign. Not only will it most likely be one of the closest Presidential elections ever, it marked the first time candidates were 100% engaged with social media saying things like, "My opponent tweeted today..." and "Our Facebook group is now 10 million strong."
With that said you've most likely been completely aware of the drama and now it's time to see it through to the end on what will surely be a memorable night. Whether you're a Republican, Democrat or neither there's no better place to watch the events unfold on election night than at the Alamo where we'll have coverage on the big screen and you can cheer and boo as states that you don't normally care about will, for one night, have a deep effect on your emotions.
It should be a fun experience and the best part is we don't have a clue as to when all the hoopla will end. So come prepared to make it through a long night that is so important and thrilling it only comes around every four years.

|Western NC hit by furniture manufacturing drop
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 08 May 2007 03:40
As cheap foreign imports have flooded the market, the number of furniture manufacturing jobs in western North Carolina has dropped by nearly two-thirds this decade.State figures say the number of furniture manufacturing jobs in the western part of the state fell from 7,400 in 2000 to under 2,500 in the third quarter of 2006.
The jobs that North Carolina has lost will not be coming back, according to experts, who say there will still be a market for handmade and custom items. The numbers in Western North Carolina are significantly worse than the state as a whole, where the amount of furniture manufacturing workers has fallen by almost a third since the beginning of the decade.

The Sabres looked to the future by turning to the past over the weekend, trading for former Sabre defenseman Henrik Tallinder in hopes of jump starting Tyler Myers game.
When paired in the 2009-10 season, Myers won the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie. Since then he's struggled finding balance and discipline in his game. His confidence has suffered and I think he's struggled to deal with some of the expectations surrounding the seven-year $38.5-million dollar contract extension the Sabres signed him to.
Making matters worse, he injured his ankle while playing in Europe during the lockout, and arrived in Buffalo out of shape for this past season.
Myers is working here in Buffalo, determined to put in the work to get his game back together. Apparently the Sabres wanted to take some added steps to make sure that happens. Over the weekend, they traded prospect Riley Boychuk to the Devils in exchange for Tallinder, who has struggled to stay healthy since leaving as a free agent and signing with the Devils. He's now 34-years old and was essentially cast aside by New Jersey as they deal with salary cap issues.
Tallinder adds to an already deep group of defensemen, and I think more than anything, shows how concerned the Sabres are about Myers game. Myers is reaching the point where I think he should be making others around him better, rather than needing a veteran to make him better.
If it helps Myers become the franchise defenseman the Sabres hope he can be, then it will be worth the very small price they paid to make the deal, but there are very legitimate questions as to if that will happen.

The IPCC sea level numbers
The sea level rise numbers published in the new IPCC report (the Fourth Assessment Report, AR4) have already caused considerable confusion. Many media articles and weblogs suggested there is good news on the sea level issue, with future sea level rise expected to be a lot less compared to the previous IPCC report (the Third Assessment Report, TAR). Some articles reported that IPCC had reduced its sea level projection from 88 cm to 59 cm (35 inches to 23 inches) , some even said it was reduced from 88 cm to 43 cm (17 inches), and there were several other versions as well (see "Broad Irony"). These statements are not correct and the new range up to 59 cm is not the full story. Here I will try to clarify what IPCC actually said and how these numbers were derived. (But if you want to skip the details, you can go straight to the critique or the bottom line).
What does IPCC say?
The Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) released last month provides the following table of sea level rise projections:
(m at 2090-2099 relative to 1980-1999)
excluding future rapid dynamical
changes in ice flow
It is this table on which the often-cited range of 18 to 59 cm is based. The accompanying text reads:
• Model-based projections of global average sea level rise at the end of the 21st century (2090-2099) are shown in Table SPM-3. For each scenario, the midpoint of the range in Table SPM-3 is within 10% of the TAR model average for 2090-2099. The ranges are narrower than in the TAR mainly because of improved information about some uncertainties in the projected contributions15. {10.6}.
Footnote 15: TAR projections were made for 2100, whereas projections in this Report are for 2090-2099. The TAR would have had similar ranges to those in Table SPM-3 if it had treated the uncertainties in the same way.
• Models used to date do not include uncertainties in climate-carbon cycle feedback nor do they include the full effects of changes in ice sheet flow, because a basis in published literature is lacking. The projections include a contribution due to increased ice flow from Greenland and Antarctica at the rates observed for 1993-2003, but these flow rates could increase or decrease in the future. For example, if this contribution were to grow linearly with global average temperature change, the upper ranges of sea level rise for SRES scenarios shown in Table SPM-3 would increase by 0.1 m to 0.2 m. Larger values cannot be excluded, but understanding of these effects is too limited to assess their likelihood or provide a best estimate or an upper bound for sea level rise. {10.6}
• If radiative forcing were to be stabilized in 2100 at A1B levels, thermal expansion alone would lead to 0.3 to 0.8 m of sea level rise by 2300 (relative to 1980–1999). Thermal expansion would continue for many centuries, due to the time required to transport heat into the deep ocean. {10.7}

Atlanta 86, Clippers 74
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 01/07/07, 11:31am:
The citizenry of Clipper Naçion collectively subscribes to a popular meme that the 2006-2007 Clipper team is a squad of inordinately talented pieces that has monumentally underachieved. As it does when teams begin to lose, scapegoatism has taken hold and, depending on the day, a variety of disproportionate theories can be heard: It's entirely Dunleavy's fault. Corey Maggette's defense. Quinton Ross' presence in the offense. Chris Kaman's turnovers. Shaun Livingston's immaturity. Elton Brand's dilettantism. Etc. Etc.
At the start of the season, there were those in the minority who countered that popular enthusiasm for the Clips should be tempered by certain realities of their personnel. Yes, the team had some nice pieces, but any ideas that the Clippers were a contender was pie-in-the-sky romanticism for a team with an infectious fairytale back story, said the skeptics. Clipperblog confesses to being part of that giddy troop of optimists. Though it dislikes parlor game predictions, I picked the team to win 50 games and return to the Conference Semifinals as a
(4) (5) seed with San Antonio, Phoenix, and Dallas, with a similar outcome --- a hard-fought series loss to a superior, better-seasoned opponent. I'm not going to backtrack on that prediction and tell you it was a blind act of patriotism. Sure, Clipperblog may have been wearing a fabulous pair of Paul Smith rose-colored lenses, but there was good reason to believe that only Cassell and Tim Thomas would not replicate their numbers of last season, and that the growth of players like Kaman and Livingston --- along with a healthy Maggette --- would compensate for any dropoffs.
In looking at the team today, I wonder about this notion that the Clippers are a team awash in talent. Are they? Do the Clippers honestly have the kind of shot-creating personnel, the offensive repertoire, the gunnery from the outside to compete with the better teams in the league?
Nothing like the past two months have shaken my certitude as a sports fan. A few of the things I've learned? The value of Sam Cassell. And I'm not talking about the veteran leadership piece either, though I don't want to minimize the chutzpah factor. I'm talking about the quantifiables, that this man has the ability to score in the transition. The power of the PUJIT which, admittedly, I treated somewhat as a novelty, can't be understated. One of the features of opposing defenses I've noticed since Cassell's absence --- and I went back and watched part of that wretched Toronto game this morning --- is the opponent's m.o. of sagging back against the Clips even in transition. With Cassell bringing the ball up, teams don't set themselves down low against the Clips. They hedge; they operate in a state of defensive confusion; they play back on their heels. For whatever reason, Livingston hasn't been able to command that kind of freneticism, even though we know him to be an agile, deceptive point guard with great eyes for the floor. Though he doesn't have much ability to get himself open by himself, Cassell and Brand played a truly efficient two-man game. It was quite admirable, actually, because neither is today's zeitgeist NBA athlete. But by early March, these two had a preternatural ability to generate shots for each other on the strong side. How many times did I write about the Cassell-Brand Side Screen/Roll last spring? How many beautiful stretches of basketball did we witness centered around that simple, perfect creation? What I've learned during this humbling, soul-crushing season is that an offensive morsel like that - simple as it seems - isn't something that can be replicated. It's more art than science, and Cassell is the master.
No living person has written more about Corey Maggette's veritable strengths and weaknesses as a professional basketball player than Clipperblog has. I'm not interested in revisiting those arguments, if for no other reason than it's boring. If you want to read them again, you can find there here and somewhere in here. To the general question of whether this team can win with Maggette as its number two scoring option, Mike Dunleavy has clearly answered it. I generally agree with him because I don't think Corey Maggette is ever going to be a focal point of a championship-caliber basketball team. And if Corey can't hit from 18 feet, then I don't even know if there's a reasonable, empirical argument. Remember that Corey has historically hit about a 3FG a game over his career. He's
4-40 4-34 this season. But that really isn't the point anymore, is it? If Dunleavy finds that Corey isn't working, then he needs to make that move for Mo Peterson, a guy who can shoot the three, move off the ball, can get himself and others open for perimeter shots...and plays some solid, if un-all-NBA, defense, to boot. Would Peterson solve the Clippers problems? No. But he would stabilize an offense that becomes inert when teams overload against Elton Brand, and he would give Dunleavy the flexibility to let Quinton Ross play at the 2 against an opposing superstar for 25 minutes a night without giving up too much offense, something Dunleavy can't do all that effectively with Cuttino Mobley.
Cat Mobley's deficiencies have boldly come to surface this weekend because he's knicked up, but the truth about Cat is that you can't run a winning offense against superior teams with Mobley as your featured wing player. Supporters --- and Clipperblog considers himself one --- point to Mobley's nice-looking %s this season, and those numbers don't lie. But what they don't tell you is that, while Mobley's hitting at a nice clip, he doesn't have the capacity to get himself open enough for that number to mean much. It's not for a lack of trying, because Cat is a lunch-bucket, yeoman of a two-guard, a Randy Whitman/Junior Bridgeman kind of player who plays a very competent brand of basketball. Cat's got some nice attributes, but his talent is finite. He does a lot nice things for you on the offensive end, but at the end of the day, a 50-win team --- unless it's 1980-2000 --- has a wing player that can either create or go insane as a spot-up shooter. Sometimes they have one of each [Dallas] and sometimes they have one guy who can do both [Washington]. And sometimes they have two guys who can do a little of each and give up absolutely nothing defensively [Detroit]. And, unlike Dallas, who has a power forward who can play on the wing, the Clippers bigs are pure bigs. While Dunleavy and Baylor have done a nice job taking care of the northern and southern spots on the personnel map, they've basically designed a team with no superlative east and west players, nothing on the wing that can propel a team into any sort of dynamic attack. I like Maggette only a little bit more than Dunleavy does. We agree that Corey isn't the answer. But, for crying out loud, Coach, since that guy isn't the answer, show us someone who is, because you [and I don't mean, you, Coach; I mean everyone except Jerry Sloan] cannot win important basketball games in the NBA without a swingman who can score at will.
Underachievement suggests an underutilization of assets. But is that what's really going on here?
