Ranaewen looked up, surprised at the low purr from the elf who called herself Whisp. She arched a brow and half-smiled to cover her surprise at being approached once again. "I'm thirsty, that's what I am!" She stood and stepped over to the table where the bard sat. "And if this ale is just going to waste...well," she shrugged and grinned good-naturedly as she took the ale back to her own table.With a brief nod at the elven girl, she sat and stated plainly, "Ranaewen."Her eyes drifted around the tavern again slowly. There he is, but how did he...? She looked in surprise at the figure now sitting at the bar. He must have slipped in with all the ruckus... She shook her head and smirked to herself. Now to get the opportunity to speak with him...She dropped her eyes back to her ale and cleared her throat. "And you Whisp, do you partake?" Ranae held the ale up toward her.**
Keiri regarded the dwarf quietly, exuding a calm goodness unusual in this part of the land. "Oh..." she glanced back at Ranaewen with a smile, "Ranae agreed to meet me tonight. I'm..uhm...hoping to stay with her for a while." She bit her lip and looked down at the bar top, tracing the wood grain with a fingertip. "This isn't a very clean place, is it?" She giggled softly, then leaned toward Ralthoin to whisper, "I don't really like taverns that much..."She smiled easily and looked at him quietly for a moment, then asked, "Are you Ranae's friend?..some of those other people don't seem very nice...but you do." She nodded firmly, then winced slightly, covering her expression by reaching toward her staff leaning next to her, and running her hand over the smooth wood.
The dwarf chuckled at the tiny elfs comments, " As long as the ale is cheap the customers dinna worry too much aboot the grime in here, but yer right its noo that nice a tavern, although it usually is mair peaceful than tonight." he shrugged and took a long swig of ale, taking time to have another lingering look round the bar. With the departure of the three thugs the tavern was quietening down again, although by the looks of it some new aquaintances were being made not all of which were wanted. "And aye, Im a member of the Fellowship so Ranaewen is my friend." and hopefully an ally. thought the dwarf to himself as he caught a glimpse of the half-elf again.
Returning his gaze to the elf he caught her in a moment of discomfort, noting that her staff was being used as a support rather than a weapon. The look was gone in an instant replaced with the sympathetic smile she had used when they first met. Maybe no' so much an open book then. the dwarf thought to himself and wondered whether to pursue the matter.
He decided against it, instead finding himself relating his Clan troubles to Keiri. She was the perfect audience, listening attentively, showing concern and sympathy in equal measure to the dwarfs sorry tale. She was the first person he had told his story to and almost immediately he felt better for it, some of the burden that had weighed on him was released in just the simple re-telling of the events and for that he was relieved. As he finished his story he once again looked upon the elfs pale eyes and to his surprise found not only sympathy but understanding. How the girl could possibly understand he didn't know but he saw it as plain as the frothing mug in front of him. As he looked back he caught another pained look from the elf which again was gone immediately, but the dwarfs curiosity and now concern was screaming at him.
" Tell me if its no my place to say," started the dwarf uncomfortably, "but are ye poorly? We have a very capable priestess who could maybe cure whatever malady ills ye? " The elf paused at the question and Ralthoin immediately felt foolish. He had only just met the girl and here he was prying into her personal business. If the roles had been reversed the dwarf knew he would be angry at such an intrusion, so decided to give the girl a few moments to ponder her response. "Err, if ye'll excuse me fer a moment I need to go tae the little dwarfs room, heh." he smiled as he got up from his chair and wandered out through the broken doors to the privy outside.
"Of that watered down rat infested swill," her nose wrinkled at the mere thought of putting that fowl liquid to her lips, "uh no. But if you wish to taste a truly divine spirit you must try this." Whisp produced from what seemed like thin air, an exquisitely and finely decorated flask made of the purest white ivory with what looked like paper thin gold inlays. Unscrewing the delicate looking the cap, sweet scents of jasmine and hip rose wafted out of the flask. Whisp then preceded to poor the delicate clear liquid, that seemed to flow like mists of a waterfall, into the cap, all the time watching her companion to see if her eyes lit up with greed, envy or wonderment. Elven spirits were not common in these parts and definitely not cheap, but it was an indulgence Whisp gave herself, plus the flask and its contents generally aided in revealed the true nature of the unwary. Throwing back her head she slammed back the liquid and could feel its warmth running down her throat and into her gut.
"I see our host has neglected to introduce himself to you, Cloak can be so neglectful in the ways of etiquette," smiling at her quarry and pouring the clear liquid on more time. "What brings you to these parts Ms. Ranaewan, for no one comes here for the sights. Are you looking for work, hiding from pursuit, or merely passing through?" offering Ranaewan the cap full of elven spirits.
"As you likely have figured out by now, I'm a bard." Jabari says, placing a hand upon the lute which has laid silently on the table top the entire time, "However, I am a bard with no tales. Well, no new ones atleast."Continuing to speak, the bard lifts the expensive looking instrument from the table and begins examining it for any damage during his earlier scuffle. "Unlike many of my profession, I dislike retelling the older tales. Unless I feel the fear of the unknown myself, view the chaos of battle, hear the cheers as the heroes raise their swords in victory, or the cries from the survivors as their companions are buried in makeshift graves... how can I tell the story and know it to be true?"Finding no damage to the lute, the bard appears relieved, "That is what brought me to this region. The pursuit of companions with whom I could experience new adventures that are worth retelling. Updating my repertoire I suppose you could say." Jabari says with a smile."As for Talsor..." Jabari begins to chuckle slightly, "the man is a fool. He discovered I have been staying with an old friend in Stormreach, a half elf widow named Bekki Brenura. Perhaps you've heard of her? She's funded several archaeological projects in the city and surrounding area in the past couple years." Looking to the dark elf he receives no reply to his question, so he continues, "Anyways, Talsor has been harassing her for some time now, apparently infatuated with her from the time he worked on the crew of one such project. He feels that she 'belongs' to him and has been causing her endless amounts of grief. He attempted to enter her home yesterday evening, though I was luckily there and stopped him. I since discovered where he could be found and came to speak with him," Jabari rubs his bruised cheek and adds, "though I didn't know he had any friends... especially not any large ones. Nevertheless, they posed no real threat but I am grateful for your timely intervention. I would have hated to have had to buy the fools a drink."The bard appears appears momentarily distracted, noticing a faintly sweet scent finding it's way across the tavern and vanishing just as quickly. Looking back across the table, he speaks one last time, "So, that's my story. What's yours? You appear quite comfortable here, what is it you do? ...And I didn't catch your name, friend?"
"Oh, but I am..." her voice trailed off quietly as Ralthoin disappeared, "..a priest..." Keiri watched after him, and then stared back down at the bar, thinking about all that he had shared, her arm disappearing within her volumous robes to wrap around her body comfortingly.Ranae's eyes widened slightly as Whisp produced the ornate flask. She arched a brow but her eyes followed the cap as liquid was poured and then offered to her. She reached for it a little more eagerly than intended, and quickly swallowed the contents. Her eyes closed briefly as she savoured the warm trail of alcohol down her throat. As her eyes drifted open, her body slowed by the effects of the many drinks already consumed, she looked over Whisp's shoulder. The man at the bar had turned his head casually and gave her an almost indiscernible nod before turning back to his drink. Ranae blinked and sat a little straighter in her chair. Gods, girl, get your head together. Remember what you came here for...
The offering of spirits seemed to be having the desired effect. Watch Ranaewen's face, she could almost feel the pleasure the sweet liquid was bring to her, and by her quick acceptance of the offering Whisp quickly surmised it had been awhile since her companion had had anything but rot gut ale.
She started to pour another cap full, when she noticed a noticeable stiffening of resolve in her companion's posture. So she had some purpose here or near by. "A professional!" she thought to herself. She could not help but admire someone trying to be so disciplined. The question was a professional what? And what or who was she here to be professional with? Something or more likely someone had just now aided her in reminding her of her purpose here. A quick glance around revealed nothing of note and there were too many strangers in the bar tonight to scrutinize anyone person more closely. But the sweet liquor had done its job and at least help tip her companions hand, what ever that maybe.
The consummate professional herself, Whisp quickly took stock of the situation. Ranaewen was here and trying to steel herself for some coming task. Her friend the nymph was at the bar, talking to the dwarf. So either, the dwarf was the mark, which see highly doubted, the nymph was not in on Ranaewen's plight or Whisp still had some time before the two struck. She could not afford to be caught out of position and so assumed the nymph knew nothing and what was to go down would be doing so very soon. But she would still keep an eye on her, as she could not discount her completely. Finally there was more than likely third unknown person here in the bar. What their purpose was in all this or who they were she did not know.
She needed more time and a little more of an edge. "Ah it always is good to meet someone who can appreciate the finer things in life" she smiled her best hostess smile at Ranewen. "Another perhaps." As she placed, the now slightly warm, cap back into the hand of her companion. "Drink up. And you will have to excuse me dear I was destracted by you beauty, but I missed why you were here."
"It is a shame indeed how Talsor acts. Ms Brenura could have been a fond memory of his past, it's too bad he had to ruin that." Jabari says, agreeing with the drow. "I would not be surprised if something were to happen to him either, though I wouldn't be the one to do it. I'm afraid that I'm not one for bloodshed... atleast not when other sentients are involved."Looking momentarily saddened, Jabari regains his composure through a joke, "...though I may be giving Talsor more credit than he deserves in that regard.""It is true what you say of perception. I've noticed this myself when travelling throughout Khorvaire, especially in regards to the tales of events during the Last War. You will hear varying accounts on what really happened depending on where you go, which is precisely why I only believe what I experience for myself." The bard pauses to collect his thoughts, then continues speaking louder, becoming obviously enthusiastic about the subject, "With Xen'drik largely unexplored it's an exciting time for storytellers, like myself. We will be the ones who spread the exploits of the adventurers and explorers. The new legends will be based from our stories, songs and rhymes. Being here gives me the opportunity to ensure those legends are told true... perhaps not the truth others would like, but the truth as I experience it. Quite a responsibility when you think about it."Smiling to himself at the idea, Jabari notices several nearby patrons giving him an odd look. Deciding to change the topic before he goes off on another tangent, the bard looks to the drow, "So a card player, huh? You must be well-known among the patrons here then... anything you can tell me about the regulars?"

At Stone, it's common to see lengthy beer monikers as long and winding as the 17-year road that's taken us from the little industrial suite beer-makers that could (though many, back then, didn't share such an encouraging opinion of our start-up) to the tenth largest craft brewing company in the United States of Ale-merica. We revel in challenging the number of alpha-numeric characters and volume of verbiage a brown glass receptacle can hold. Heck, if we hadn't switched to 22-ounce bombers for our annual collaboration series, our Drew Curtis/Wil Wheaton/Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout Ale Brewed with Pecans, Wheat & Rye with One Quarter Aged in Bourbon Barrels might have incited bouts of stress-induced agony among our Art Department savants. To give them a break, we honed in on a much shorter name for this year's anniversary beer, but fear not, though briefer, it will still provide the fun type of challenge fans have come to expect. Our vehicle for accomplishing that in five words or less—sprechen die Deutsch. Try pronouncing this one—Stone 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA—then watch our beer video and feel a whole lot better about your linguistic capabilities as you watch Stone Brewmaster Mitch Steele stumble his way through five syllables of German diaeresis-bred intricacy.
The Best Damn Black Pilsner Ever Hits Shelves on Monday
Remember way back on April 1st when we announced our next collaboration beer, BrewDog/Cambridge/Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner? Remember how clever you felt when you dismissed it as an obvious April Fools gag? Stone brewed a Pilsner? Yeah right. Then remember how foolish you felt when we confirmed that it was true—that it was in fact a real beer? Man (knee slap), good times.
Now that the confusion and hurt feelings have subsided, all that's left is a very real—and very good—Black Pilsner (we know, there's no such thing, but let's put that aside for now…or forever). We brought you the play-by-play on brew day with James Watt from BrewDog, Will Meyers from Cambridge Brewing Co., and our Head Brewer Mitch Steele, but there's more to the story.
First of all, let's tackle this whole "lagers take longer to brew" myth. SOME do. There are major brand lagers that take less time to brew than craft brewed ales. Yes, a craft brewed lager may typically take longer than a craft brewed ale. Blah, blah blah. Congrats if you've stayed with me this long, hell I was starting to bore myself. The bottom line is the end result. Says me. Now let's move on.
All I can say is that this beer better be better, because this lager took roughly four times longer to ferment and condition than a typical Stone beer (we also bottle-conditioned it for a few weeks, further prolonging its release). After looking back at the brew sheet, Mitch found that primary fermentation took 30 days, and aging (aka 'lagering') took 50 days. That's a total of 80 days that the beer spent training to be the best damn Black Pilsner around.
The eclectic hop bill was also a bit of a challenge to balance. From the beginning, the plan was to use 100% Saphir hops in the dry-hop because it has the most "Pilsner-like" qualities, and the Brewmasters thought it would lend the beer a nice "elegance." However, they also realized early on that Saphir hops are fairly subtle, and they might not give the beer enough of a hop kick.
Then, on June 12th, the beer gods smiled upon us. In a fortunate turn of events, James just happened to be in town from Scotland promoting his tasty beers, and he was able to stop by the brewery and corroborate with Mitch on what to do next. They tasted two versions of BrewDog/Cambridge/Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner, one dry-hopped with Saphir, and one double dry-hopped with Saphir and Sorachi Ace. Lo and behold, they came to a decision. "We agreed that the Sorachi Ace addition kicked the beer up a notch," said Mitch, "right where we wanted it to be." When Will was consulted about the extra dry-hopping, his response was: "The hoppier the better!" We knew we liked that guy for some reason.
Thanks to the unparalleled artistry of these three brewmasters, BrewDog/Cambridge/Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner is shaping up to be one amazing Black Pilsner…err…wait….what? You still have a problem with us calling it that? Fine. It's probably a Black Double Pilsner anyway. Feel better?
Alright, let's put this to rest. Just what the hell is a Black Pilsner, anyway? "It's a Pilsner in the fact that we brewed it with Pilsner malt and fermented it with Pilsner yeast," said Mitch, "but it's bigger, darker and hoppier, and it's unlike any beer I've ever had." There you have it. Settled.
Now for the bad news—we didn't make a ton of this beer. In fact, the yield was so low that it's only going to be available in a few lucky locales (see below) in VERY limited quantities, and in 12oz. bottles only (sorry to crush your hopes and dreams). So when can you get your hands on it? BrewDog/Cambridge/Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner will start hitting store shelves this Monday, July 27th. Prepare yourself for the best damn Black Pilsner EVER.
The following places will be receiving small quantities of BrewDog/Cambridge/Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner in 12oz. bottles:
Oregon (Portland)
N. California
S. California
New York

What the Hell is Stone Bombastic Lager?
That's the exact same question I asked our Lead Brewer (and infamous biofueler) John Egan after seeing the pompously named beer rear its head in various places, such as on the tap list for Southern California Storm and on the Stone Company Store's growler fill schedule. So what's the official word?
To sum it up, Stone Bombastic Lager is the beer left over from propagating the pilsner yeast we used in BrewDog / Cambridge / Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner. What does that mean? Let me explain.
When we acquire new yeast to propogate (pilsner yeast in this case), we throw it in our yeast propagating tank, and over the course of a few days we continually add wort to "feed" it and facilitate yeast growth. To feed the pilsner yeast, we added Stone Pale Ale, Stone IPA, and Stone Imperial Russian Stout wort straight from the brewhouse into the yeast propogating tank over several days. Once we were confident that there was enough growth, we pumped the yeast off the bottom (lager yeast is bottom-fermenting) and sent it over to the fermenting tank to ferment the Collaboration brew. John then transferred the leftover beer into another tank, but before transferring it he had a spark of creativity and decided to add some crushed coriander, french oak chips, and "literally a handful" of chopped vanilla beans. It sat for about a week or so, and then we gassed it up and put it in kegs. There were no additional hops or malt added; it was just a blend of a few worts.
"As far as style goes, I have no idea," said John. "It's kind of a 'suicide' like we did as kids with our sodas; just a mix of whatever is available. It tastes like an ale to me, but it's a lager—and a weird lager at that!" John added that the brew weighs in at 6.8% abv.
So there you have it. Now when you stumble across Stone Bombastic Lager on the tap list at Southern California Storm or on tap for growler fills in the Stone Company Store on May 15th and July 10th, you can wow your dumbfounded friends with your in-depth knowledge, complete with a healthy dose of bombast.

Washington Approves Stone's Pilsner Stimulus Plan
We know many of you are chomping at the bit for news about our collaboration brew, BrewDog / Cambridge / Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner, so we'll throw you a bone. The brew is still fermenting, so we don't have a release date yet (don't worry, we'll let you know the second we do!), but we do have some news about the bottle label. Jen Knudson, our talented graphic designer, just got word from the feds that the label design was approved and ready to rock!
Staying true to our collaboration bottle design motif, there are three versions, each dedicated to one of the three Brewmasters. Check em out below!

2009 Stone Imperial Russian Stout Starts Hitting Store Shelves April 6th!
Time to don your ushanka and grab a pint of thick black goodness once again. Monday's roll-out marks our tenth annual release of Stone Imperial Russian Stout. A full decade and still going strong.
If you've had the foresight to cellar previous vintages, you already know that the recipe has changed very little throughout the beer's tenure, but this time around we did increase the amber malt a bit. According to Stone Brewer, John Egan, the increased amount of malt "gives the beer a little more body on the mouth feel, and a little bit less of a dry finish." John felt compelled to add, "the beer is awesome!"
So where can you get it? This year's release will initially be available in twenty-seven states. If your state is highlighted in SIRS blue in the diagram below, rejoice, for the iron curtain will soon be lifted on your state!
The slick diagram above isn't the only thing that our talented Graphic Designer, Jen Knudson, has created. She also designed the wicked 2009 Stone Imperial Russian Stout logo and t-shirt in the style of classic Russian propaganda. It's a fitting design that you'll be fitting into soon (if you have any semblance of style, that is).
There you have it. Go forth and cellar, Stone Imperial Russian Stout lovers!

Our Next Collaboration: A Pilsner?
One of the things we love about craft brewing is the great sense of camaraderie. The best craft brewers are more focused on expanding the market than competing against each other, and that's why we love collaborating. Collaboration brings brewers with different attitudes, philosophies, and techniques together with the sole purpose of furthering our craft (ok, and having fun and sharing beers too!). Our last two collaboration beers were great successes, and testaments to the incredible talent of all involved.
When it came time to plan our next collaboration, Scottish brewery BrewDog seemed like a natural choice for Greg Koch and Mitch Steele. "Greg and I were introduced to James' and Martin's (BrewDog's two business partners) beers about a year ago, when we traveled through Scotland," said Mitch. "We were blown away by their ability to brew hoppy, assertive beers and get away with it in the UK." James and Martin were inspired to start brewing by the American craft beer scene, and were stoked to take part.
As soon as BrewDog was on board, Mitch made a phone call to Will Meyers from Cambridge Brewing Co. Will and Mitch had known each other for about nine years and always thought it would be cool to brew together someday. When Will got a message from Mitch asking him to participate in the collaboration, he reacted accordingly. "After I got done doing a little beer dance around the cellar I called him back and the rest is history," said Will. "I was familiar with BrewDog as I'd stumbled across their beer in England last June, and was psyched to be offered the opportunity to work with two other forward-thinking, ballsy brewers."
Once both brewmasters were committed, the next step was to brew a pilot batch. The distance between the brewers provided a bit of a logistical challenge, so they opted to collaborate over email to brew the pilot batch here. Being the innovative brewers they are, they eventually decided to try something that none of them have ever brewed before, and for that matter, something that NO ONE has ever brewed before.
When Will and James flew in last Thursday and tried the pilot, they confirmed what they suspected—we had something very special on our hands. After agreeing to use a bit more dark malt, the brewmasters went over their game plan for the next day, then retreated to the Bistro where we celebrated with the help of local beer fans at our "Pilot-Palooza" event. It was a fitting start to an epic collaboration.
The next day the brewmasters got down to business, putting in a long hard day of brewing. They started by mash-hopping the brew, which is a first at Stone. The brewmasters adhered to their initial recipe for the most part, but were afforded the luxury of tweaking the recipe during the process (who says you can't build a car while driving it?). For example, they decided to make a last minute hop addition to balance the bitterness. Will explains the reason for the decision in the clip below:
The immense scale of the batch amazed Will, who brews on a 10-barrel system back in his brewpub in Cambridge. Aside from using 10,000 lbs of malt, the batch required ten separate kettle hop additions, resulting in 326 lbs. total hops (3 lbs. per barrel!). Will remarked that he added more hops in one kettle addition than he uses in an entire batch at home. We're no strangers to obscene amounts of hops, but according to Mitch, this is the HOPPIEST beer we've ever brewed.
At the end of the arduous brew day the brewmasters were satisfied with their creation. It turned out even better than they anticipated. It's our pleasure to introduce the fruits of their labor, and the first lager EVER brewed at Stone: BrewDog / Cambridge / Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner.
That's right…a Black Pilsner (and at 10% abv, one might be tempted to call it a Double Black Pilsner…but we're not…we'll let the style zealots start endless discussion threads on their own on that…we're just brewing the damn beer…everyone will have to figure out for themselves what the hell style it is…just sayin'). Aside from being the first lager ever brewed at Stone (and using Bohemian lager yeast no less), this beer represents several other Stone "firsts." This is the first time we've used Japanese Sorachi Ace hops and Motueka hops from New Zealand (there are no American hops in this beer). It's also our first time both mash-hopping and mash-wort hopping a brew, as well as our first time using more than two kettle hop additions (there were 9 hop additions throughout the wort boiling process).
Of course, as a lager, BrewDog / Cambridge / Stone Juxtaposition Black Pilsner will have to sit in the fermenter tanks several more weeks than a typical batch, so we won't be able to enjoy the final for a while. We haven't picked a release date, but rest assured that we'll let you know the second we do.
Will put it best when he said "We have a big freaking beer on our hands." It's bold, black, 10% abv, and over 100 IBU's in wort. This beer isn't for sissies. And if you're saying "there's no such thing as a Black Pilsner," let us correct you—there is now. We just brewed it, and it will be amazing (so says us).
Check out the YouTube playlist below. We'll be adding more videos from the brewing process soon! While you're at it, check out the flickr set too!

Outspoken Irish songstress Sinead O'Connor is certainly no stranger to controversy. At one time, she was loudly booed by audiences for tearing up a picture of the Pope John Paul II on the late-night TV show "Saturday Night Live" in 1992. Now - the controversial singer is offering words of warning to fellow singer Miley Cyrus, who appears to be courting controversy - "Say no when you are asked to prostitute yourself," O'Connor tells Cyrus.

Keywords: Miley Cyrus, Sinead O'Connor, music videos, sexual exploitation
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The 46-year-old O'Connor wrote to the 20-year-old Cyrus after the youngster cited O'Connor's video "Nothing Compares 2 U" as an inspiration for her somewhat tasteless "Wrecking Ball" video.
"Nothing but harm will come in the long run, from allowing yourself to be exploited," O'Connor wrote Cyrus. "Please, in future, say no when you are asked to prostitute yourself."
O'Connor says she was prompted to write, "in the spirit of motherliness" after "dodging phone calls from various newspapers" who wanted the singer-songwriter to comment upon similarities between the two videos.
The classic music clip video for "Nothing Compares 2 U" is principally an extended close-up of O'Connor who sheds a single tear as she performs the Prince-penned break-up ballad. In "Wrecking Ball," which shares similar lyrical themes to O'Connor's song, Cyrus is depicted doing - questionable things.
"I am happy to hear I am somewhat of a role model for you and I hope that because of that you will pay close attention to what I am telling you," O'Connor wrote.
"I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked . in your videos.
"It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it's the music business or yourself doing the pimping.
"It is absolutely NOT in ANY way an empowerment of yourself or any other young women, for you to send across the message that you are to be valued (even by you) more for your sexual appeal than your obvious talent.
"You are worth more than your body or your sexual appeal. The world of showbiz doesn't see things that way," O'Connor wrote.
"They're there for the money, we're there for the music. It has always been that way and it will always be that way. The sooner a young lady gets to know that, the sooner she can REALLY [be] in control."
Cyrus, the daughter of country singer Billy ray Cyrus first found fame as the child star of Disney children's show "Hannah Montana." She has been criticized in recent weeks for her controversial performances, most particularly at the MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn last month.
"Whether we like it or not, us females in the industry are role models and as such we have to be extremely careful what messages we send to other women," O'Connor concluded.
"The message you keep sending is that it's somehow cool to be prostituted.. it's so not cool Miley... it's dangerous."

In the summer of 1991, I had the pleasure of being a part of the Yosemite Fire team based out of Wawona. What a great group of people I was able to grow with. As a team, we responded to several back country fires. My first experience was a "raging" fire, a whole 1-Chain, or like 60 square foot smolderer. Myself and another firefighter were flown by helicopter, by a Vietnam Veteran pilot and inserted somewhere above Chilnualna Falls. With a one skid landing, this combat pilot dropped us right into the fire fight, literally. Using back-pack pumps, polaskis, and McCleods, our team of two fought hard to contain the flames. After a long, four-hour fight, we contained the inferno and settled in to ensure our protective lines preserved the pristine back country. The peace and pride I felt at that moment recharged my soul. We enjoyed lunch and took in the spectacular view. As the flames died to smoke and smoke died to coals, our need to stay died with it. Clearly, we were successful and the fire could be declared out. About the time my adrenaline was wearing off, our peace was interrupted by the crackling of the radio on my partners hip.
"Are you all ready to come back, we need you at the station, there's more strikes out there." It was our Red Hat Lisa's voice, "Can I send a bird to get you guys?"
"No." my partner said, "It's too windy."
I looked blankly at him, wondering if the light breeze I felt, constituted "too windy."
An hour later, as we wound through the beauty of Yosemite, hiking our way out, being bathed by the mists of Chilnualna Falls, I understood the reason for his response, and gifts from nature we were able to enjoy. That summer, I was blessed to enjoy some of the most beautiful sites known to man. That summer changed me forever, and have me an appreciation for the gifts nature has to offer.

Your story took me back to my salad days. I had the same experience as a firefighter in Yosemite back in 1968 – 1971.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
Clinverse, Inc., a global technology and financial services company for clinical trials, today introduced its ClinSpend™ solution, designed to meet the reporting requirements to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the federally mandated Sunshine Act, now called OPEN PAYMENTS, providing greater transparency around the financial relationships of manufacturers, physicians, and teaching hospitals.
ClinSpend is the aggregate spend reporting module within the family of products integrated seamlessly alongside Clinverse's Financial Lifecycle System (FLS). ClinPay®, the company's anchor product, is the industry's leading fully-automated investigator payment system which streamlines and automates the financial payment process in clinical trials. For sponsors, clinical research organizations (CROs), and healthcare providers (HCPs) deploying ClinPay for payments, more than 90% of the research transactional data required by OPEN PAYMENTS already resides within the system. By leveraging the unified FLS platform, ClinSpend has the added capability to collect and report on payments made directly to teaching hospitals and indirectly to physicians performing research at the teaching hospital.
Whether used alone or as an integrated component to the FLS platform, ClinSpend provides HCPs access to real-time, proactive dispute resolution through its site portal to review and challenge payment claims made by applicable manufacturers. Manufacturers can proactively manage HCP relationships by verifying data and resolving discrepancies shortly after payment is made, rather than requiring the HCP to wait to file a dispute months later when data are transmitted to CMS.
Clinverse's application programming interface (API) provides the flexibility for ClinSpend to easily accept research, non-research, an

Commissioners move forward with public safety tax proposal
EUGENE, Ore. - After two rounds of public hearings, the Lane County Board of Commissioners agreed to move forward with a plan to ask voters to support a property tax levy to help fund the Lane County Jail.
The board agreed to draft the language for the tax levy. Commissioners voted 5-0 to move forward with the framework of a 5-year levy of 50 cents per $1,000 taxable property valuation.
Next, commissioners will have to approve the language drafted by county staff.
If they do, the measure would appear on the May ballot.
Recent polls found public support for a measure limited to funding jail beds. Lane County has had to release inmates prior to trail or posting bail because of a lack of jail beds.
Tom Adams from KVAL News was at the Courthouse on Wednesday and will have more live on KVAL News at noon.

The Health of Home Health Care
Toward the end of last year, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) published three reports1-3 on how the home health industry was managing after Medicare?s home healthcare prospective payment system (PPS) was initiated at the end of 2000. Medicare data show that between 1997 and 2000, the number of Medicare-certified home health agencies (HHAs) dropped 32% from 10,556 to 7,175.
Between fiscal years 1991 and 1997, Medicare annual expenses for home care rose from $4.7 billion to $17.6 billion. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) believes this quadrupling of costs was due to an increase in the number of beneficiaries receiving home care and the number of visits they received. After enforcement of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA 97), home health service spending began to drop and was $8.7 billion in 1999.
Medicare Beneficiary Access to Home Health Care
The dramatic decrease in the number of providers and lowered home health expenditures raised concern over whether patients had adequate access to home health services, prompting OIG investigations. Interestingly, however, a survey of 208 hospital discharge planners showed that 89% of them experienced no difficulty in placing Medicare patients in need of home health care. About 25% of the discharge planners surveyed reported experiences in delays in placement, particularly for patients with wounds because "they require many expensive supplies and frequent visits by home health staff."1 Most attributed these difficulties to changes in admitting patterns by HHAs, changes in staffing patterns, or the effect of agency closings in their service area. Many HHAs have adopted new admission and discharge practices since PPS was implemented. Beneficiaries most affected by these changes seemed to be those with short-term, high-intensity needs of chronic diseases, and/or those needing complex wound care or two visits a day. This coincides with empirical evidence that many HHAs have established admission criteria for patients with wounds (eg, regarding wound debridement, albumin levels, and the like).
Another survey2 found that 38% of Medicare beneficiaries who started home health care in 2000 had not been in the hospital or a skilled nursing facility before being admitted to home care. A comparison of these "community beneficiaries" and hospital-discharged patients revealed some evidence that community beneficiaries who have more chronic conditions, along with those with certain medical conditions, are unable to obtain Medicare home health services. All respondents in the survey agreed that physicians play the most prominent role in connecting community beneficiaries to home health services.
The Role of the Physician in Home Health
In addition to a nationwide nursing shortage and home health PPS, other Medicare trends have impacted home health care. In January 1999, the OIG issued a special fraud alert about the role of physicians in certifying Medicare services. Physicians were cautioned not to: 1) prescribe services and items as a courtesy to a patient or service provider, nor prescribe medical equipment without first making sure it was medically necessary; 2) knowingly or recklessly sign false or misleading medical certifications; and (3) accept kickbacks in return for their signature.
In an effort to better understand actual physicians- practices in prescribing, certifying, and monitoring Medicare home health services within the context of the CMS' expectations, the OIG mailed 600 questionnaires in 2000 to physicians who regularly signed Medicare home health plans of care (POC). Nearly all the physicians (97%) reported they had some familiarity with most of the patients for whom they sign a home health POC. Most stated they were involved in identifying the specific home care services their patients needed, but more than half stated that they worked jointly with the HHAs or hospital staff to make these determinations.
Not surprising, perhaps, is that many physicians reported they did not have a clear understanding of key Medicare rules and regulations. For example, 38% said they were unclear on what Medicare considered "homebound" - a crucial coverage criteria for home health care. Even though many knew what CMS expected of them, more felt that realistically, they were unable to provide the level of required oversight for Medicare home health patients. Of the respondents, 83% stated they believed that CMS expected them to ensure that only medically necessary services were on the POC, but only 48% said they could actually do so. Even more surprising was that 60% of the physicians stated they had never heard of Medicare HH PPS, which became effective October 1, 2000. This lack of information may be due, in part, to the timing of the survey, as it was conducted during the last 6 months of 2000, shortly after HH PPS was implemented. Nonetheless, the finding is disturbing.
About 7 years ago, in an effort to encourage physician involvement, Medicare created a way to pay physicians for their time and expertise involved in overseeing POCs for home health patients. In a review of claims data, CMS found that less than 3% of the total healthcare claims showed evidence that physicians had actually billed for the POC oversight payment. More recently, a payment was extended to physicians that covered their time and expertise required for POC certification and recertification. Once again, a review of claims data showed that less than 5% of the physicians billed for these payments. This information indicates that physicians show little willingness to bill for these payments for the services they provide to Medicare home health patients. When asked why, physicians surveyed stated that too much paperwork was involved in submitting the claim and that the payment amount was not high enough to make the effort worthwhile or financially attractive.
Increased Burden on Home Health Agencies
According to the American Association for Homecare and the National Association for Home Care,4 home health agencies have recently incurred a number of additional costs simultaneous to PPS. These include: OASIS, higher costs for nurse and therapist recruitment and retention, the potential for electronic private transactions, OSHA bloodborne pathogen and needlestick requirements, significantly higher cost for liability and employee health insurance, and Limited English Proficiency and Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services standards. Many other agencies continue to struggle with extended repayment plans to pay off their interim payment system (IPS) overpayments.
Although these studies indicate that most Medicare beneficiaries requiring access to home health care are receiving it despite PPS, they raise several significant issues ? 1) If the trend of HHA closings continue, patient needs likely will not continue to be met in the future; 2) the nursing shortage will eventually greatly impact access by the influx of the Baby Boomer generation to home healthcare; 3) if physicians do not find payment for their services financially attractive or at a minimum, budget neutral, they may become discouraged from participating in home health care; and 4) ongoing education about Medicare home health regulations and requirements is needed for patients, HHAs, home care nurses, discharge planners, case managers, and physicians.

Alexander v. Murdoch, USCA Second Circuit, November 14, 2012
Click here for a copy of the full decision.
Plaintiff Martin Alexander, acting pro se, filed suit against defendants, the producers of the television comedy series Modern Family, asserting copyright infringement, as well as various related state law claims, based on allegations that defendants copied his copyrighted pilot treatment for a television show he titled Loony Ben. The district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiff's claims, finding that no substantial similarity existed between Loony Ben and Modern Family. (Read our summary of the district court's decision here.) On appeal, the Second Circuit, in a summary order, affirmed the district court's dismissal, agreeing with the magistrate judge's "thoroughly articulated reasoning."
Noting that the appropriate inquiry is whether the alleged copying of protectable elements is "quantitatively and qualitatively sufficient to support a finding of infringement," based on an examination of similarities in elements of the works including the total concept and feel, theme, characters, plot, sequence, pace and setting, the court agreed with the lower court that "the sparse and minor similarities between the allegedly infringing work—the television series Modern Family—and the copyrighted work—the pilot treatment for the television series Loony Ben—are insufficient to establish infringement." The appeals court held that the two works shared common concepts only at the most general level, insufficient to support a finding of similarity. In addition, the appeals court found that any overlapping character traits and plot aspects plaintiff alleged amounted to superficial and de minimis details, involved general abstractions insufficient to merit protection or were unprotectible scènes à faire standard to a work about family life.
The court also declined plaintiff's request to impose sanctions against defendants, concluding that plaintiff's allegations of defendants' misconduct were either "wholly unsupported by the record or demonstrably false."
Bollea v. Gawker Media, LLC, USDC M.D. Florida, November 14, 2012
Click here for a copy of the full decision.
Plaintiff Terry Gene Bollea, known professionally as the wrestler Hulk Hogan, sought a preliminary injunction against defendants Gawker Media and related entities, requiring defendants to remove excerpts from a sex tape of Bollea and a woman not his wife that defendants posted on Gawker.com on or about October 4, 2012, and to prevent defendants from posting any portion of the sex tape on any other website. The district court denied his motion.
According to Bollea, six years prior to this case, he engaged in consensual sexual relations with a woman who was not his wife and the encounter was videotaped, allegedly unbeknownst to plaintiff. Defendants obtained a copy of the sex tape and posted excerpts of it on their website without Bollea's permission. Defendants allegedly have refused numerous requests from Bollea to remove the excerpts from the site. Bollea filed suit against defendants, asserting a number of claims including invasion of privacy by intrusion upon seclusion, publication of private facts, violation of the Florida common law right of publicity, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress and copyright infringement, and filed a motion for a preliminary injunction.
The district court held that a plaintiff seeking a prior restraint on speech must establish that the restraint will be effective and that no less extreme measures are available. Bollea failed to overcome the presumption that the preliminary injunction would be an unconstitutional prior restraint because defendants' First Amendment rights override plaintiff's right of privacy. Noting the U.S. Supreme Court had recently recognized that the heart of First Amendment protection is speech on matters of public concern, the court reasoned that the sex tape constituted a matter of public concern, demonstrated by Bollea's public persona, his reality television show, his own book describing his affair, and his own public discussion relating to his marriage and the tape, and that the inappropriate or controversial nature of the speech does not affect whether it is a matter of public concern. The court also found that plaintiff was not entitled to a preliminary injunction because he failed to demonstrate that he would suffer irreparable harm if the tape were not removed. Embarrassment and economic loss do not justify a preliminary injunction, according to the court. In fact, noting the Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized that even minimal interference with the First Amendment freedom of the press causes an irreparable injury, the court found that compelling the removal of the tape from the website would disserve the public interest. In addition, the court concluded that this was a case in which "the proverbial 'cat is out of the bag[,]'" since the tape had already been posted and injunctive relief likely would be ineffective.

Rockfax DescriptionA tricky route with only just enough gear in the lower reaches. Start just left of a slim groove that leads up to a small roof at 12m. Whilst you can climb direct it feels safer to climb the easier line to the left and step back right into the groove at about 6m. Turn the roof and you are rewarded with a series of ledges leading up to Rufus. Up and left is a tower with a crack in its front. Move up to the tower and swing left to climb the crack. Above the tower further balancy climbing is required to get to the top. © ROCKFAX

Microsoft has released updates for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 debugger components. These updates mostly address issues that occur with stepping and with hitting breakpoints.
InstallationThis update is for all versions of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on both x86 and x64 computers. However, if you use Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition on a 64-bit operating system, you must install the 64-bit Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Remote Debugger before you apply this update. For information about how to obtain the 64-bit Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Remote Debugger, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Multi-process and multi-threaded debugger fixesNote The following descriptions refer to a hypothetical set of processes that are being debugged by a single instance of Visual Studio. When functions are referred, it is assumed that the functions are recursive or that the functions contain loops. These scenarios are not meant to reproduce the problem. Instead, they are provided to help explain the problem.
Breakpoints in parallelized loops are eventually ignored after multiple hitsBreakpoints put in loops or in recursive functions are not hit in all processes at each iteration. Frequently, some processes may pass through many iterations of a loop, ignoring the breakpoint, before a process is stopped. Consider the following scenario:
Stopping and starting threads causes breakpoints to be missedBreakpoints are hit, but they are not visible when you debug multiple processes in the Visual Studio debugger. Consider the following scenario in which you are debugging two processes, Process A and Process B.
Note If you remove the breakpoints after you press F5 to continue, the debugger runs until it is completed.
Visual Studio may crash when you debug multiple processes at the same timeVisual Studio Debugger may experience a deadlock when you start and then stop a thread and then run to the next breakpoint if multiple processes are being debugged. Consider the following scenario:
Stepping over a disabled breakpoint when you debug a native application turns into a "go"You debug a native application in Visual Studio that contains a disabled breakpoint. When you step the debugger past the disabled breakpoint, the remaining steps are lost, and the application continues to run.
Stepping when you debug a managed multithreaded application can randomly turn into a "go"When you debug a multithreaded managed application, and you step into one thread while an event occurs with another thread, such as hitting a breakpoint, the step request is lost. And, the application continues to run.
Message Passing Interface (MPI) Debugger Fixes for Visual Studio Editions offering MPI-Plugin Support
Visual Studio crashes when you use the "Step Into" command to start an MPI programWhen you use the Step into command, or press F11, to debug multiple instances of an MPI process, Visual Studio crashes. Or, you receive the following error message:
Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered and internal error
Running the "Step Over" command while you are debugging multiple processes causes a deadlockIf you run the Step Over command while you are debugging multiple processes, Visual Studio crashes. Consider the following scenario:
Breakpoint UI Fix
Disabled breakpoints are not visible after you install Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1If you disable a breakpoint, the breakpoint is no longer hit. Also, the breakpoint is hidden from the left-most editor channel. The disabled breakpoint still exists. It is displayed in the Breakpoints Tool window.

Senior Athletes
Jimmy Magahern | Dec 31, 2012, 9:59 a.m.
"I'm going to be there this year," pledges Clawson, no stranger to standing up under pressure. "I don't know if I'll win, but one way or another, I'll be there!"
Ageless Athletes
It's been called "the best-kept secret in sports," but each year since its inception in 1985, the National Senior Games (its original name, the National Senior Olympics, was changed in 1990 after objections from the U.S. Olympic Committee) has been steadily growing in popularity. This coming summer, more than 13,000 athletes are expected to compete in the National Senior Games to be held in downtown Cleveland—about 3,000 more than competed in the Olympic Games in London last summer.
Aside from the thousands of athletes 50 and older who make it to the national event, hundreds of thousands more participate in state qualifying events, like next month's Arizona Senior Olympics (which, through a grandfather clause addressing states that were using the name prior to the USOC agreement, is allowed to continue using the prized Olympics moniker).
Trend watchers say the boost in senior athletics is a function of increasing lifespans, more free time and the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, which has always embraced fitness and sees no reason to stop. But today's older athletes aren't just Jazzercising and playing Wii bowling. A 2011 study by the National Sporting Goods Association found that sports participation among adults age 55 and older has increased by nearly 30 percent in the last 10 years—almost triple the increase reported for the entire U.S. population. And we're not talking shuffleboard: today's older athletes are participating in weightlifting, water skiing, basketball, mountain biking and kayaking, which curiously shows a whopping increase by nearly 350 percent.
Barbara Brandt has seen increased participation in the Arizona Senior Olympics, too, since she took part in her first competition back in 1988, and credits the surge to expanded opportunities for older adults—and particularly women—to engage in such things.
"They didn't have that stuff for us girls when we were growing up," says the 83-year-old Brandt, whose specialties are the discus and javelin throws. Although Brandt had played softball when she was younger, she had never participated in track and field events before. Upon hearing about the Senior Olympics in her late 50s, Barbara and her husband borrowed a few books from their grown daughter, who was at the time working as a P.E. teacher in Cleveland, and learned from textbook diagrams how to throw a discus and a javelin.
Thanks to a strong arm developed during her softball years, Barbara turned out to be a natural on the javelin, and also learned how to excel at the discus throw. But it took her a while to get there, and—contrary to the common perception that athletic ability diminishes with age—she's actually improved as she's gotten older.
The Senior Games divide participants into five-year age groups, and Brandt has dominated every age division she's passed through for the last 13 years. She set a new record for the American javelin throw in the 70-to-74-year-old category, broke the javelin record again in the 75-to-79 age group, and currently holds the record in the 80-to-84-year-old group, for tossing a javelin an impressive 19.58 meters, or roughly 64 feet.

I'm moderately healthy. I pay attention to what I eat and try to maintain a good balance of foods from various spots on the pyramid. I exercise. I stretch. I get lots of sleep. I drink lots of water, and lots of wine.
So the other night I had to laugh: I ordered fast food for delivery. 😳
Cheeseburger and fries!
When I saw that UBURGER delivers, I couldn't resist. I love their U-Cheeseburgers, but don't live close enough to eat there very often. So of course I wanted a burger dropped off at my door.
I ate half of an order of fries.
And devoured a U-Cheeseburger with the special house sauce. 😀
Oh yeah, and I also had a garden salad. Mmm, veggies to help balance out my greasy burger. 😛 I enjoyed every bite of my dinner without any regrets. U-Cheeseburgers are pretty damn good! Since I can't indulge in In-N-Out Burger on the East Coast, I'll settle for UBURGER.
