Psych 320: Motivation 08 Oct. Parental Behavior Wong Ch. 3 By the end of this lecture, you should be able to answer the following: What is meant by ?parental behavior? or ?parental motivation?? Is parental behavior costly? Why or why not? Be able to describe in detail the studies of Levy on maternal behavior in sheep, and what is known about some of the key inputs to this behavioral system for sheep mothers. Be able to describe in detail some of the studies of Rosenblatt on maternal behavior and the ?maternal responsiveness? measure in female rats. What is the distinction between ?induction? and ?maintenance? of maternal behavior in rats? Describe some of the important relationships between estradiol and maternal behavior in female primates. At a few places throughout the lecture, we have described cases of hormones not telling the whole story with regard to maternal behavior ? what are some of the examples of this in rats and in humans? Describe the work of Harry Harlow with macaques, and what this tells us about the importance of attachment. According to Kagan, what are the major signs of attachment in children and young animals? 1. PARENTAL BEHAVIOR Parental motivation: tendency to make young the goal of behavior where that behavior promotes the well-being and survival of the young Much research is focused on maternal behavior Why? In a lot of mammal species, it is the mom that devotes much of the energy in raising the offspring. (arguments form sexual selection theory) Question of paternity- father never really knows for sure offspring is his (besides genetic testing) Parental care across animals ranges from zero to extremely extended Parental care is costly Energy- amount of calories of work required Time- opportunity costs Future reproductive success (limits amount of success in future) Study of Mammals: maternal care vs. fecundity Read & Harvey (1989) If you have to devote a lot of energy for a single offspring, you can?t have that many. To have more offspring, devote less energy to one single offspring. At one end of the extreme- Bats (basically only 1 offspring a year) ; other extreme ? lagomorphs ?rabbits? (produce large number of offspring per bout and can have several bouts per year) ( Evolution of mother-young recognition & discrimination behaviors (ways in which the young can rapidly learn who their parents are and the parents can rapidly learn their young from the others) litter-specific cues, individual differences, olfactory ?labeling? in goats 2. SHEEP & CENTRAL IDEAS OF MBSs Ideas of internal and external factors multiple inputs Studies by Levy Female sheep giving birth. As soon as the young is born, she immediately starts licking the young. The bond is being formed. Levy found that the female sheep are only attracted to amniotic fluid at time of birth Olfaction necessary (smells and tastes) Licking of this fluid off of young ( establishment of mother-young bond If a researcher grabs the newborn and washes the newborn: a first-time mother will reject the young. If she can?t smell or taste those normal cues, this is not her young. On the other hand, an experienced mother will accept the young. What are some of the inputs to this system (behavior)? Young itself in the environment Olfactory cues Ability to sense those cues Touch cues, visual cues Experience of mother 3. PHYSIOLOGICAL & NEURAL INFLUENCES Rosenblatt?s work with maternal behavior in Norway rats ?Maternal response? = latency to retrieve a pup from her nest A new mother will be instantaneous about retrieving the pup. She does it the first time. Virgin females will take about a week of introductions before females become ?pup-sensitized? Importance of hormonal changes during second half of pregnancy In a series of studies, Rosenblatt removed the ovaries from a virgin female. In experimental animals, over a several day period, he injects levels of estradiol and progesterone to mimic the levels in a normal pregnant female. By doing this inside the female, he can produce a maternal response to new pup on the very first day. Idea that hormonal profile induces and affects her behavior Stimulation from pups helps maintain parental care behavior Olfactory, tactile, visual, auditory Is that all there is to the behavior? (Hormones not the whole story) Pup-sensitized virgin females ? hormone profiles similar to non-pup-sensitized virgin females Olfaction and the mother-young bond Olfactory bulb ( amygdala ( medial preoptic area Amygdala important in social processing, emotion Lesions show a decrease in maternal responsiveness Direct estradiol micro-injections shows an increase in maternal responsiveness 4. HUMAN / PRIMATE PARENTAL BEHAVIOR Estradiol and non-human primates Pryce et al. 1988 studies with tamarin monkeys Correlation studies Moms with higher levels of estradiol before giving birth, often show an increased maternal behavior immediately after birth. This leads to an increased infant survival to one week = this first week is where the infant attachment is established. Human females Pregnant females show an increase in cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and this correlates with an increase in physical affection towards infant. Cortisol levels in new mothers correlate with attraction to infant?s body odor. Mothers with more experience More positive maternal attitudes Higher attraction to infant?s odor 5. IMPORTANCE OF ATTACHMENT Notion of really tight and special bond between offspring and caregiver Studies of Harry Harlow Infant macaques (monkeys) raised with surrogate mothers ( link to stimulus seeking Contact comfort- physical tactile connection Signs of attachment Jerome Kagan (developed theories of attachment and how to test experimentally) Young more easily calmed down by its primary caregiver than by other adults in the environment The young who is attached to a particular primary caregiver will approach that caregiver for play or consolation Young less distressed by novelty with caregiver Exhibit separation anxiety when caregiver is absent

Saudi Gazette report
DAMMAM — A Saudi girl who allegedly embraced Christianity and fled the Kingdom last September has been granted asylum in Sweden, Al-Yaum newspaper reported on Tuesday quoting diplomatic sources.
According to Taher Khoja from the Saudi Embassy in Stockholm, Maryam, known in the local media by her nickname Al-Khobar girl, "enjoys full rights, protection and immunity as a refugee under the Swedish law."
The girl had left the Kingdom using fake travel documents with the help of a Lebanese man and a Saudi colleague, who are both in prison awaiting trial.
"Swedish authorities refused to provide the embassy with any information about the girl or her whereabouts. All information has been shrouded in secrecy by the Sweden Immigration Agency and the Income Tax Authority," Khoja said.
The embassy appointed a lawyer to ensure the girl's welfare, he said.
The lawyer tried to obtain a court order for Swedish authorities to release information about the girl to the embassy but to no avail. The court upheld the decision of keeping information about the girl confidential.
The court told the Saudi embassy that the girl herself refused to have any form of contact with the embassy and requested that all information about her should be kept confidential, Khoja added.
The embassy contacted the Human Rights Commission in the Kingdom and provided it with all available information about the girl's case, according to Khoja.
"We took all necessary legal measures to get information about the girl in line with the Swedish law, which considers illegally obtaining information about Sweden citizens and residents a breach of human rights," he explained.
The Saudi embassy would welcome the girl's family members if they wished to visit Sweden, Khoja said.

Afridi says may retire from ODIs post 2015 WC
Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has said that he might call the curtains on his ODI career after the World Cup next year and just concentrate on Twenty20s.
Afridi, who quit Test cricket four years ago, said that the 2015 World Cup is important for two, three senior members of the Pakistan team, and he might retire after that and continue playing T20 cricket.
According to The Dawn, Afridi, who has played in three World Cups and captained the team to the 2011 semifinals, said that the one-month fitness camp organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in Lahore is 'very tough', as they prepare for the tournament.
Meanwhile, the allrounder has also appreciated Mohammad Akram's efforts in conducting the rigorous summer camp at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the report added.

Its Friday and I am quite exhausted. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind at work and I haven't been able to do things outside of it as much as I'd have liked to. But let's talk about some condensed milk goodness and work on the stress, shall we?
I can't begin to talk about how much I love condensed milk. When I was small, I used to add it to toast, dip plain vanilla cake in it, top my cupcakes with it, have it with roti, dosa, you name it! Even now, I almost always have a tin of condensed milk in the pantry, ready to get added to anything that takes my fancy.
That's a lot of talk for a tired girl so on to the recipe now. This condensed milk pound cake clearly won over a fool-proof one banana-banana bread I made recently, in this poll, so on to the recipe, one step at a time.
As always, a dish of the final good stuff. There's a reason why my cake looks a bit dense and hole-y. More about that in a bit.
Let's the flour first. 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour or maida.
Add that into a sieve with 3/4 tsp baking powder.
Sieve about thrice until the baking powder and the flour are well combined.
Bring together the sieved flour from all four corners of the paper. Yes, that's the paper we get every morning. TH and I can totally read Mandarin (not!).
Next, we need 1 cup powdered sugar. I used brown sugar but white will work just fine. Add this to a bowl.
Top this off with 1 cup soft butter. I slightly melted it because I forgot to keep it out before baking but butter at room temperature is what we need here.
Beat the butter-sugar mixture well using an electric beater for 2 mins until fluffy. If using hand, beat well for about 5 mins.
Open the milkmaid can. Lick off the excess on your fingers, smell it, lick some more. Come on, I insist.
Once you are done with the above, measure out 1 cup of it and add it to the butter-sugar mixture.
Once you are done with the above, measure out 1 cup of it and add it to the butter-sugar mixture.
Add the whisked butter-sugar-condensed milk mixture to the flour mixture with one pinch salt. Mix until just combined.
All set to go into the oven. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for about 30 mins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Ok, now the story of my cake. I forgot to set my oven temp to 180C so the cake baked in a really hot 220C oven for 30 mins and the sides started burning while the center was still fudgy. I had to take it out at that time so the cake wasn't as soft as it can be.
Still, this was one good cake, have to say!
Here's the recipe, all in one place.
Condensed Milk Pound CakeRecipe adapted from here.Makes an 8" square cake or one standard sized loaf
What I Used:
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour or maida1 cup sweetened condensed milk1 scant cup powdered sugar (I used a little over 3/4 cup)1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature2 eggs3/4 tsp baking powder1 tsp vanilla essense1 pinch salt
How I Made It:
1. Sieve the flour and baking powder until well combined. You can also whisk it well in a bowl until combined, if you don't have a sieve.
2. Beat butter and sugar together until soft and fluffy - 5 mins by hand, 2 mins by electric beater. Then add the condensed milk and repeat for the same time, until well combined.
3. Whisk eggs in a bowl for 2 mins with a fork and set aside.
4. Add the flour to the butter-sugar-condensed milk mixture and mix until just combined without beating too hard.
5. Add the eggs, vanilla essence and salt and combine well again.
6. Transfer to a greased cake tin or loaf pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C/325F for 30-35 mins. Insert a toothpick at the center to test if the cake is done.
7. Cool, slice and serve.

Powramid™ Surge Protector
Filed under: Power and Data Distribution
Just when you thought they couldn't invent a surge protector in another shape. First came block-style surge suppressors, the kind that most of us have under our desks. Then came the round tabletop version for conference rooms. And believe it or not, there's even one out there that looks like a squid. But up until now, there haven't been any pyramids -at least not that I know of. But I found one! Meet the uniquely conical Powramid™, a 6-outlet surge protected PDU that gives you 360° power. Because it provides receptacles that face in all directions, it's perfect for use on conference tables, or for any other situation in which you have a group of people who need to plug multiple devices into a central power source.
The Powramid's™ design benefits don't end with 360° power availability, though. It just so happens that it's a lot easier to fit bulky plugs, adapters, and transformers into outlets that are configured like a pyramid. When you plug fat adapters into regular power strips or surge protectors that have their outlets placed side by side, you can run into a little problem: wasted outlets. Extra-wide adapters have a tendency to creep over the borders of the outlets that they're plugged into and invade the space of neighboring receptacles, making them unusable for other devices. Call me crazy, but I think that if you pay for a certain number of outlets, you should be able to use them all.
The Powramid™ is crowned with a power switch that lights up when the unit is running, and allows you to switch the whole thing off when none of the devices plugged into it are being used. The switch is also covered with a removable plastic dome that prevents you from accidentally shutting the surge suppressor down while it's in use.

7 Different Garden Roses that are sure to make a Beautiful Wedding
The wedding season will be here before you know it. One the most important decisions is to decide what kind of flowers will work best for your wedding. I would like to help you make this decision by giving you my personal list of Garden Roses, which are my favorite wedding flowers. You may ask why Garden Roses? First of all, they are in a league of their own when compared with average roses. They have become one of the largest choice because of their blooms for weddings thanks to their lush, ruffled petals that rest graciously in the center of a very neatly wound swirling pattern — they are very similar to peonies, only without the expensive price!
Although they are available year round, they are hitting their peak right now and are a true delight for a summertime wedding. I have been searching through hundreds of wedding flowers. After narrowing them down to garden flowers, I then began to come up with my top 7 list and believe I have chosen the most charming wedding flowers available right now:
White Ohara is my first choice. This flower is a creamy white, peony-like rose. It looks amazing whenever the bride is adorned in a creamy white dress. This one looks amazing and leave me breathless! Every time I go to a wedding and see this particular variety, I have to ask them where they got them. They come from Colombia and look alive and fresh.
Campanella Cream Like White Ohara, have a soft, creamy-white appearance, but the layers look a bit fuller. Actually, White Ohara and Campanella Cream look wonderful together.
Green Hanna made my list because green is one of my favorite colors. If you are a green-eyed bride, or you have an outdoor wedding with lots of greens, then this will be an excellent choice. These flowers are light green and have about 3-5 blooms per stem, giving plenty of green for your special occasion.
David Austin Patience is very beautiful! I couldn't have a top 7 list without including it. It is an English-looking cream garden rose with a classic button eye. What I enjoy about this particular cream variety is the way their centers stand out and make an excellent contrast with any wedding dress.
Antique Carmel is my fifth selection due to its caramel, butterscotch color. This premium, fresh cut beauty is kind of gives a soft, antique feel to any wedding. The fragrance is also very alluring. I highly recommend this one.
Salmanazzar Pink Peach Peony has a pink tone that reminds me of a lovely fairy-tail, where the prince takes his bride and lives happily ever after. You have to see this one to believe it. The huge head has a cabbage-like appearance sure to leave you breathless.
Cream-Orange Brulee Last but not least, this variety has a orange tint that is very earth-tone. This eco-friendly stunner has a wavy pattern in its full head. This summer wedding flower is a definite statement maker.
No matter which flower you choose, if you are looking for a professional opinion, I would suggest these top 7 Garden Roses. Whenever you feel it is time to begin selecting flowers, the good people at Whole Blossoms would love to help you create the perfect wedding. They have excellent customer service with prices that can beat nearly anyone. They will even help you choose alternate flowers, if the one you are searching for is not available. Not only are they very affordable, they are incredibly fresh. They are cut directly from the grower and sent straight to your door step. Their flowers are so amazing they received a great review and five star rating from Project Wedding, take a look! Good look on your wedding planning! May your wedding be filled with the most beautiful memories with your wedding flower selection.
"Congratulations! You have received a perfect 5-star rating on Project Wedding! Your clients love the impeccable quality and service that you provide, and we are excited to award you with this elite distinction…This is a testament to your talent and professionalism."

Sports Briefs: Nov. 14
L.A. Marathon moving to Memorial Day
The Los Angeles Marathon, previously contested the first Sunday in March, will move to Memorial Day beginning next year.
L.A. Marathon president Russ Pillar also announced Thursday the return of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. as the event's presenting sponsor, and Acura as the L.A. Bike Tour's title sponsor.
As a condition of their acquisition of the marathon and related assets six weeks ago, race organizers agreed with the city to move the marathon to President's Day in February. But after extensive conversations with runners, travel and tourism experts, city officials and others, Memorial Day was chosen because it offered the best opportunity for success.
D'Backs end contract talks with Johnson
Randy Johnson filed for free agency after failing to reach a contract agreement to return to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The 45-year-old lefty is five victories shy of 300 and "hopes to find a team where he can continue to pitch at a high level and contribute to another world championship," agents Barry Meister and Alan Nero said in a statement.
Johnson made $16 million last year and went 11-10 with a 3.91 ERA. He struck out 173 and walked 44.
Johnson is a five-time Cy Young winner. He won the NL Cy Young from 1999 to 2002 with Arizona.
Marlins trade Gregg to Cubs: The Chicago Cubs acquired right-handed reliever Kevin Gregg from the Florida Marlins for minor league pitcher Jose Ceda.
Gregg was 7-8 with 29 saves and a 3.41 ERA in 72 relief appearances for the Marlins last season, holding batters to a .203 average.
What Gregg's role will be with the Cubs is unclear. Closer Kerry Wood is a free agent, and Chicago already has a top setup reliever in Carlos Marmol.
Swisher traded from White Sox to Yankees: The New York Yankees started their offseason makeover by acquiring Nick Swisher from the Chicago White Sox.
Swisher, who can play first base and all three outfield spots, was obtained for pitching prospect Jeff Marquez and infielder Wilson Betemit. The teams also swapped a pair of minor league right-handers as part of the deal, with Chicago receiving Jhonny Nunez and New York getting Kaneoka Texeira.
Swisher, who turns 28 on Nov. 25, hit just .219 with 24 homers and 69 RBIs last season.
Gardenhire gets two-year extension from Twins: The Minnesota Twins have signed manager Ron Gardenhire to a two-year contract extension through the 2011 season.
Despite trading ace Johan Santana, the Twins went 88-75 and nearly made the playoffs, losing a tiebreaker to the Chicago White Sox for the AL Central title.
Davydenko reaches Masters Cup semifinals
Nikolay Davydenko advanced to the semifinals of the Masters Cup by defeating Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-2 at Shanghai, China.
Davydenko's defense and relentless groundstrokes were the difference, turning an expected tight match into a rout. He broke Del Potro's serve four times in eight chances.
"I played so good," Davydenko said. "I feel great."
Earlier, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France defeated Novak Djokovic of Serbia 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 in a meaningless match. Djokovic had already been assured of a spot in the semifinals of the season-ending tournament, while Tsonga had been eliminated.
Roger Federer, a four-time Masters Cup champion, will advance if he wins today against Andy Murray of Britain. Murray is 2-0 in the Red Group and guaranteed a spot in the semifinals.
Gilles Simon of France still has a chance if Federer falters. He will play 26th-ranked Radek Stepanek, who replaced Andy Roddick when the American withdrew Wednesday with a sprained ankle.
Simon got into the elite field when Nadal withdrew before the tournament began with a sore knee. Simon defeated Federer in his first match.
Ochoa shoots 73 in hometown tournament
Lorena Ochoa struggled in the first round in her own Lorena Ochoa Invitational, shooting a 1-over 73 on her home course at Guadalajara, Mexico, to drop five strokes behind Annika Sorenstam and the other leaders.
LPGA Championship winner Yani Tseng, No. 2 in the world behind Ochoa and ahead of Sorenstam, topped the leaderboard at 68 along with Sorenstam, Angela Stanford, Karen Stupples, Seon Hwa Lee, Nicole Castrale, Hee-Won Han and Brittany Lang.
Lam leads Singapore Open: Lam Chih Bing upstaged the big names to take a first-round lead at the Singapore Open in a bid to become the first local player to win the tournament.
Lam birdied three of the final four holes to finish with a 4-under 67 and the clubhouse lead over Australia's Marcus Both (68) in an opening round delayed by lightning.
Holyfield to meet Valuev for WBA title
Evander Holyfield is getting another chance at a heavyweight title.
The 46-year-old former champion will challenge 7-foot Russian giant Nikolai Valuev for the WBA crown on Dec. 20 at Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland, arena management said.
Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs) hasn't fought since losing a one-sided decision to then-WBO champion Sultan Ibragimov more than a year ago. Holyfield is winless in his last four title fights since beating John Ruiz for the vacant WBA belt in October 2000.
Maradona denies rumors about resigning
Diego Maradona will remain Argentina coach after denying speculation that he planned to resign because of a dispute over his assistants with his boss.
"I'm still the coach. There's been no changes, no resignations, nothing," Maradona told journalists in Mar del Plata, where he was visiting the Argentina tennis team preparing for next week's Davis Cup final against Spain.

In Coweta on Thursday, the cheapest regular unleaded was offered at the Valero on Ga. Hwy. 16 East, according to Georgiagasprices.com . Regular unleaded there was $3.59, according to the website.
Gas stations along Bullsboro Drive were offering regular unleaded for $3.62.
Nationally, prices had risen for 20 straight days, as of Monday, according to Mark Jenkins of AAA.
"The demand for gasoline is driving up the price of oil, which in turn is pumping up the price of gasoline," said Jenkins. "Prices are expected to keep rising in the near future due to unexpectedly lower supplies and rising demand."
Gasoline demand is at its highest level since January, according to the Energy Information Administration, and consumer confidence it at its highest level since July, according to Jenkins.
Those factors pushed the price of oil last Friday to its highest price in five weeks on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
"When consumer confidence is up, the price of oil often follows, because speculators believe more people will be buying gasoline," said Jenkins. "Meanwhile, refineries that reduced their output during maintenance season are working to return to full capacity. This supply shortage, coupled with the switch to the more expensive summer-blend fuel, are typical factors that result in higher gas prices this time of year."
The EIA released its summer forecast this week, predicting that retail prices would average $3.57 per gallon during the summer driving system, one cent cheaper than last year. AAA has predicted that prices would peak between$3.55 and $3.75.
Analysts at Gasbuddy predict prices to rise for several more weeks. "Motorists face rising prices every spring for varying reasons, but most notably because of refinery maintenance that slows production of gasoline, and stations being required to sell cleaner burning blends of gasoline that cost them more," said Gas Buddy Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.
"We believe that gas prices nationally will average $3.52/gallon for the April through September time frame, which would be the lowest we've seen in a few years," DeHaan said.

So how do you project the 2014 LF situation to turn out?
Old Sneakers wrote:Regarding Francisco Peguero: I really wouldn't read much into his current ranking on MLB's Orioles prospect rankings. Either he's a replacement player or a finished product. I understand he's a history of injury but he's had enough minor league at bats to know exactly what he is. Guess what? We still really do not know what that is. I think he's a long shot to make the team. I honestly do not get that ranking either. If his bat was that good he would have drawn more walks and it hasn't happened.

How many "friends" do you have on Facebook? Without checking on the site, would you know where they all are right now?
Would you know if Barney the lad who used to deliver the post at that office three jobs ago is currently on safari in Africa? Or if Alison the sexy PA to the CFO who you never quite managed to ask out for a drink is scuba-diving in the Mediterranean?
Even if it's a close friend, you're probably not keeping that close an eye on every movement they make - especially in the maelstrom of other status updates coming from your dozens if not hundreds of other contacts on the site.
So if suddenly your mate Adrian sent you a Facebook message saying he was stranded in Lagos, Nigeria, and in need of $500 for a ticket home you might well not instantly smell anything fishy.
That's what happened to Google Australia employee Karina Wells. According to reports, she was initially not suspicious of a Facebook message she received from her friend Adrian, but doubts grew as her correspondent began to use phrases like "cell phone" instead of "mobile phone" (note to our American readers: not all the world commonly use the phrase "cell phone") as he described how she could send him the emergency cash.
Wells was smart, and didn't send the money as requested via Western Union. Instead she contacted the authorities to make them aware of the attempted fraud.
But this is just the latest skirmish in an ongoing battle taking place between cybercriminals and Facebook users. We're seeing more incidents of unwanted adverts and malicious links being spammed to Facebook users from their friends' compromised accounts.
Emails from social networking sites are much more likely to get into our email accounts in the first place, since they don't have the obvious hints that botnet spam does (such as a known-bad sender IP address, or known-bad headers, or known-bad email construction) causing them to be filtered out.
But this incident is going one step further. We will no doubt see more electronic conmen using stolen Facebook identities to steal money directly from the innocent by posing as their online buddies, unless more people take greater care over securing their computers and personal data.

Wetmore: Zany rally completes comeback, earns Twins doubleheader sweep
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS - I've never seen an inning like the eighth inning Thursday night and I can say beyond any reasonable doubt that I never will again.
The Twins drew eight walks in the eighth, which in itself is batty. That's a Twins record, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Sergio Santos also threw three wild pitches, each scored a run to help the Twins overcome a two-run deficit. According to popular Twitter account, @cantpredictball, Santos is the first reliever to throw three wild pitches and not record an out.
"That was probably the wildest eighth inning you'll ever see in your life," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We have bodies running everywhere, pitches flying all over the place. I don't know how many times you'll see something like that."
"Maybe in some other league," he added later.
The Major League record for most walks in an inning is 11, set in 1949, according to Baseball Almanac. The Washington Senators offered those free passes to the Yankees, before the franchise moved to Minnesota in 1961.
A sampling of the zany rally: Josmil Pinto walked twice in the inning; the Twins sent eight batters to the plate before they got a hit, when Jason Kubel singled home two runs (off a lefty); that was their only hit of the inning, despite sending 12 men to the plate; Kubel and Eduardo Nunez were the only batters who did not draw a walk in the eighth; the first three runs each came home on separate wild pitches.
"It was hard to watch," Glen Perkins said. "It's fun because it was us but that's tough to watch."
"It's good; a win's a win," Perkins said after the Twins improved to 8-7. "I just think they didn't have it."

BOZEN, SUD-TIROL, Italy, May 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Robotics today announced i.v.STATION's certification achieving compliance with a host of global security guidelines for controlled substances, including tamper-evident syringe caps, biometric identification, restricting nursing access only to ready-to-administer IVs, single-dose storage and retrieval, etc.
"In addition to being the only company in the world proven to use Robotics to manufacture chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy and gene therapy ready-to-administer patient doses, we once again lead the market, this time within the controlled substances drug class. I designed i.v.STATION to automatically cap syringes with a B. Braun TEC1000 tamper-evident cap, enhancing medication safety while reducing waste. Whereas this is arguably a desirable feature for all medications, it is mandatory for controlled substances in almost every country in the world. With i.v.STATION's unique security features, unused syringes can be safely returned to the pharmacy and re-dispensed. i.v.STATION fills a syringe and secures it with a luer-lock twist cap, ensuring the integrity of the contents. The cap unlocks, just prior to syringe use, by pulling the clear protective barrier off and removing the red syringe cap. Other distinct advantages of i.v.STATION's design over its competitors is the fact that it is the only robot to: a) utilize biometric identification (facial recognition) as opposed to other robots' use of simple ID/password combinations; and b) store each controlled substance drug vial and each ready-to-administer syringe on its unique slot for secure retrieval instead of outputting all doses to an open and unsecured bucket mixing multiple IV doses of controlled substances with multiple IV doses of other medications" stated Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics' Executive V.P.

I am a scientist by education, computer engineer by trade, artist at heart, creator of objects (some even useful -) ). I have the best job in the world, at what I consider to be the best federal agency there is, and I am very lucky to work with a lot of close friends. I am also lucky that I can leave work at work, and being able to do so at a boringly usual hours.
I think the word "friend" has a special meaning. It takes a while for me to call someone a friend, because once I do, I will drive 120 miles through the snow storm to help a friend dig out his car from under 5 feet of snow. And cook him a duck with potatoes dinner afterwards, because there is no decent conversation without good food.
I am quite happy with most of my life. I have a few very close friends. I have two beautiful, sweet kids that I am very close with. I do a lot of things outside work: a bit of woodworking, pottery, fixing old houses, and other things that let me create things with my hands. I am very interested in psychology, and I am trying to learn as much as I can about it. It is very rewarding and intellectually stimulating.
What's missing in this picture is a deep emotional and intellectual connection with a romantic companion, a life partner and a close friend. It is important for me to have all three in one. I have tried to get by on just one or two, and see where it got me? :-)

If you think there's no life after Final Fantasy, you're wrong. Lost Odyssey is finally here, and it's been built from the ground up by former Square-Enix employees and the father of Final Fantasy himself, Hironobu Sakaguchi. With one foot planted firmly in the past and the other in the realm of the unexpected, Lost Odyssey is one of the first Japanese RPGs to finally make the leap into the future.
Lost Odyssey introduces players to the tale of Kaim Argonar: an immortal soldier who has traversed countless lifetimes and battles with nary a scratch or memory to call his own. Stricken by amnesia, Kaim knows little about his purpose and even less about his past, but all that begins to change once a fateful field operation triggers the slow return of his painful memories. Seeking to find his place among the shifting tides of the world, Kaim embarks on a personal crusade against the mysterious forces manipulating his fate--searching for the life and love that were taken away from him long ago.
In terms of a plot and narrative, Lost Odyssey's capacity for storytelling blooms as one of the game's strongest qualities. The various tropes of magic and machines littered around the game's world are themes we've seen before, but what sets Lost Odyssey apart is a deeply moving story that places an emotional focal point on its characters.
Above heart-pounding battles lies an emphasis on heartfelt moments through liberal use of cutscenes and unlockable text-based novellas with the game's thousand year's dream feature. The rich development of its characters and the insightful backstories revealed through Kaim's dreams are among the most robust the genre has seen yet. And trust us; the game pulls no punches on tugging on the ol' heartstrings.
Japanese RPGs haven't changed much over the years in terms of basic game design, and even now with a system like the Xbox 360 Lost Odyssey is all the more a testament to this fact. But that's not to say that the game doesn't come with a few tweaks to the tried-and-true.
Overworld maps, for one, are a thing of the past. Instead of completing a dungeon and being greeted by a whole new expanse of land, players are greeted by a new waypoint leading to the next area. All of the areas contain a good amount of clearly marked save points on a mini-map, as well as invisible checkpoints that you can return to should the game's various beasties get the best of you.
When it comes to gearing your party for war, you can still expect the same weapon, armor, and accessory setup that you're accustomed to. But when it comes to managing spells and abilities, the game introduces the skill link system, which has immortals like Kaim, who are unable to learn skills on their own, pair up with mortals to take on their unique healing, fighting, and magic casting abilities.
The bits and pieces that make up Lost Odyssey may not reinvent the wheel in terms of what we've come to expect from RPGs, but what the game does it does well. Many of the gripes concerning world travel are quelled by a convenient waypoint system, and the implementation of checkpoints gives non-obsessive compulsive savers a safety net. The process of skill linking can become a bit tedious, especially when you find yourself micro-managing whom your immortals should shadow under every 10 minutes. But as a whole, you receive a good deal of options to customize your characters as you like.
With 40-plus hours spanning four DVDs, Lost Odyssey is a lengthy expedition into the unknown; just don't expect anything out of the ordinary.
You can try to settle a dispute with words, but as we all know sometimes you've just gotta throw down the gauntlet. Combat in Lost Odyssey follows a traditional turn-based system where you can attack, cast spells, and use items to defeat the enemy. But apart from a health and magic bar, the game throws in a few more gauges to mix things up.
In Lost Odyssey, positioning plays a far greater role in battle with the new guard system, represented by a bar at the upper-right hand corner of the screen. Party members positioned in the front row of battle take the brunt end of damage while characters positioned in the back take a reduced amount. As the frontlines undergo a bit of wear and tear, the guard meter depletes; and when it's gone, damage across the board is even and severe.
The guard system lends to a more strategic element in battle where players have to take defensive measures into account just as much as mounting an effective offense. On the flipside, the guard system also applies to enemy forces, so choosing who to attack isn't as simple as the first target that the cursor lands on, as with many RPGs.
Outside of battle, players have the ability to craft and equip rings imbued with special traits. In battle, these rings take the form of a timing circle where players have to hold and release the right trigger in time with a target on the screen. If you land a hit perfectly, the relative effectiveness of the strike goes up—adding an element of timing to attacks that gives the game a more active feel than most turn-based games. It's nothing new, but it's appreciated nonetheless.
As with Lost Odyssey's overall game design, the combat system comes off as a bit derivative, but what minor tweaks it works in fits like clockwork in the game's many tactical standoffs.
For all of the game's design typicality, make no mistake: the art and audio direction in Lost Odyssey are immensely beautiful and well-executed. The stylized character models are among the most impressive on the 360 yet, with expressive facial and body animations that shine through. On a technical level, the game also makes good use of a subtle blurring effect, splashing the steampunk-inspired visuals with a sheen of realism. Unfortunately, the game often buckles under the weight of its own impressive graphics, resulting in framerate dips and frequent loading times in between scenes and locales.
The game's audio suite, on the other hand, is near immaculate. Lost Odyssey comes stocked with five language options, with the English option, in particular, standing out as a great effort by its cast of voice talent like Tara Strong and Michael Bell. The game's soundtrack, scored by ex-Square-Enix mainstay Nobuo Uematsu, is an equally spirited endeavor with tracks that bounce back and forth from classical orchestral arrangements to contemporary jazz and techno-tinged tracks.
Amid its many peaks and valleys, Lost Odyssey is the first exciting realization of a compelling, next-gen Japanese RPG. While its gameplay may not even come close to the depth or complexity of a title like Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey's story and visuals stand toe to toe with some of the best the genre has seen. If it's an epic voyage into the realm of fantasy you're after, you've found it: Lost Odyssey is a role-playing adventure that shouldn't be missed.

(Jul 29, 2010) Two Mexican nationals captured in Nogales, Arizona, were recently convicted of marijuana trafficking in Mexico pursuant to the Controlled Substances Program (CSP), an agreement between the United States and Mexico "to prosecute, under Mexican law, drug smuggling cases that originate at Nogales ports of entry." (Press Release, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Binational Drug Prosecution Effort Nets Jail Terms: 10-Year Sentences Handed Out in Nogales Marijuana Smuggling Cases (Mar. 15, 2010), http://www.ice.gov/pi/nr/1003/100315nogales.htm.) The Press Release stated:
The Nogales CSP, aimed at reducing narcotics smuggling along Arizona's border with Mexico, is the first agreement of its kind between the governments of the United States and Mexico. Since its inception in October 2009, 24 suspects have been referred to Mexican authorities for prosecution. Following these two convictions, there are still 18 cases pending prosecution. (Id.)

Dr. Free-Ride: (to younger offspring) Could you teach me all the words to your song about the planets.
Younger offspring: It's secret.
Dr. Free-Ride: Please?
Younger offspring: Oh, alright!
Nine planets, fine planets,
In our solar system.
Nine planets, fine planets,
See if we can list 'em.
Mercury is planet number one,
It's right there close to the Sun.
Then there's Venus, the planet of love,
Brightest planet in the heavens above.
Earth is planet number three,
It makes a home for you and me.
Mars, the red planet, is number four.
Old man Mars is the god of war.
Then there's Jupiter, number five.
Biggest planet in the skies.
Saturn really makes me sing,
It's the one with the beautiful ring.
Uranus and Neptune, nothing between,
Far from the Sun it's hard to be seen.
Pluto is the next place to go.
It's the last planet we now* know.
Nine planets, fine planets,
In our solar system.
Nine planets, fine planets,
See if we can list 'em.
Dr. Free-Ride: Thank you!
Elder offspring: I wish I could visit Pluto.
Dr. Free-Ride: I bet it would be pretty cold there.
Younger offspring: Yeah, it's really far from the Sun.
Elder offspring: Venus is the hottest planet.
Dr. Free-Ride: Really?
Younger offspring: No, Mercury should be the hottest — it's closest to the Sun.
Elder offspring: No, Venus is really the hottest. Wait a minute — I'll get the book.
Younger offspring: I think Mercury is really the hottest.
Dr. Free-Ride: That makes sense to me, but let's see what she's got.
Elder offspring: Here, I found it. The book [Carole Stott, I Wonder Why Stars Twinkle, and Other Questions About Space] says:
Venus isn't the closest planet to the sun, but it is the hottest. The temperature can reach 900 F (500 C) — that's about eight times hotter than it gets in the Sahara Desert, the hottest place on Earth.
Although Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus is hotter! This is because Venus is covered by clouds of gas which act like a blanket, keeping in the Sun's heat.
Younger offspring: OK, Venus really is the hottest.
Dr. Free-Ride: You two handled that disagreement really well.
Younger offspring: I thought Mercury was hottest, but I was wrong.
Older offspring: That's OK. I wouldn't have known it was Venus if I hadn't read it in the book.
*There is some chance that this line is officially, "It's the last planet we know." The "now" may have been added by the younger offspring as a concession to the older offspring's claim that Xena is a newly-discovered planet.

Twelve Australasians in Spain for Q-School
BY Bruce Young | European Challenge Tour | 2007 European Tour Q-School - Final Stage | Preview | 13 Nov 2007
The Final Stage of qualifying for the 2008 European Tour begins at the Old and New courses at the San Roque Golf Club in Cadiz in Spain on Thursday with some 156 players seeking one of the cards available to the top 30 and ties at the completion of 108 holes.
Twelve of those 156 players are Australasians, five looking to gain access to the European Tour for the first time while for others they seek to resurrect their careers with a return to full status in Europe.
Adam Bland is the only Australasian player to have advanced to the Final Stage via last week's Stage Two while for the others they face the final examination through a range of criteria that has enabled them to move directly into this marathon test.
Two New Zealanders, Gareth Paddison and Steve Alker are in the field, Paddison having agonisingly missed his place on the European Tour when he slipped outside the top 20 Challenge Tour graduates with a poor finish at the recent Tour Championship.
Alker was back on the European Tour this season after making it through the Tour School last year but despite a third place at the KLM Open he is forced to go through this process again.
The Australians entered for this week in addition to Adam Bland are Scott Barr, Adam Blyth, David Bransdon, Gavin Flint, Matthew Millar, Jarrod Moseley, Wade Ormsby, Terry Pilkadaris and Peter Senior.
Barr, Blyth and Flint are in Spain via their exploits in Asia while Bransdon, Millar, Pilkadaris, Ormsby, lineup as a result of sufficient efforts in European Tour events in 2007. Jarrod Moseley gets a place because of his win at the Heineken in 1999 and Peter Senior via the 2006 Australasian Tour Order of Merit.

Media Ownership Study 4-Peer Review
Download OptionsReleased: July 21, 2011
Peer Review"Local Information Programming and the Structure of Television
Markets" by Jack Erb.
FCC Media Ownership Study #4.
June 22, 2011
Ali Yurukoglu
Stanford University Graduate School of Business
This paper reviews the FCC Media Ownership Study #4, "Local Information Programming and the
Structure of Television Markets" by Jack Erb. First, I summarize the paper. Second, I analyze issues in the
data employed in the study. Third, I comment on the econometric methodology and results. Finally, I
evaluate whether the stated conclusions follow from the analysis. Overall, I found this study to be of
high quality, though limited in some dimensions. The main limitation is that the author conducts a
purely statistical analysis, without attempting to uncover the causal effects of ownership on local news
and public affairs programming. The author does a fine job of pointing out this and other, more minor,
limitations that exist.
The author analyzes the statistical relationship between the amount of local news and local public
affairs programming on local broadcast television at both the station and market level as functions of
various measures of market structure, the extent of cross-ownership with newspapers and radio
stations, and market condition and demographic factors. In particular, measures of whether a television
station is in the same ownership group as another station in its market, whether a station is in the same
ownership group as a newspaper in its market, and whether and to what extent a station is in the same
ownership group with radio stations in its market are of particular interest. The main conclusions of the
paper are that there are statistically and economically significant positive associations between radio
and newspaper cross-ownership with minutes of local news at the station level, but at the market level
the picture becomes cloudy. Cross-ownership with newspapers is negatively associated with local news
minutes at the market level, but the association is not statistically significantly different from zero.
Cross-ownership with radio's direction of association depends on how many radio stations the
ownership group owns nationwide and in the market, and could be positive or negative for reasonable
values of both of those factors. Ownership of multiple television stations within the market does not
have a statistically significant relationship with local news minutes at either the station or market level.
However, the extreme points of the estimated 95\% confidence intervals suggest a low to moderate
magnitude of effects in any case. The results on local public affairs programming are de-emphasized as
there is both less total and less variation across markets in local public affairs programming minutes
from which to draw strong inferences.
I will now in sequence analyze the data used in the study, analyze the econometric methodology, and
evaluate whether the conclusions of the paper follow from the stated assumptions and analysis.
Data SectionThe data are rich in some dimensions and lacking in others. The data is a combination of two data
sources. The first is the FCC ``Study Zero'' data on ownership and market characteristics of local media
markets. This data provides measures of cross-ownership, numbers of stations, market demographics,
and similar. The second data source is from Tribune Media Services (TMS). This data provides schedules
of programming from individual stations. It provides a categorical variable of genre from which the
author can compute measures of local news minutes shown. The author is careful in pointing out the
limitations of this data. Most importantly, it does not account for the heterogeneity within minutes of
local news shown. Some local news might be higher quality or have more awareness than others. An
ideal measure would account for these differences. I agree with the author that, in the absence of an
ideal measure, this study based on minutes is still a worthwhile undertaking. Whether ratings,
programming expenditures, or content analysis would be useful measures of quality is worth thinking
about for future research on this question.
The data does not account for local cable news. Some markets have important local cable news stations,
like NY1 in New York City, NECN in Boston, and Newschannel 8 in DC. The local news provided by these
stations is likely similar to the local news the FCC seeks to promote at the broadcast level. The study
would be strengthened by incorporating local cable news into the analysis. At the very least, whether a
local cable news station exists, and perhaps its ratings, would make sense as an explanatory variable in
the regressions the author studies.
The measures of market structure are simple counts of stations or newspapers. It is common practice in
industrial organization to include some measure of concentration when thinking about market
structure. There might be ten stations in a market, but if one has a share of 99% of the viewers, and the
other nine split the other 1%, much theoretical analysis would predict behavior in such a market more
similar to a single station market than to a market where all ten stations have equal market share.
The data cover only 2007 and 2009. This limits the amount of analysis that can be done by looking at the
same market over time as there are only two observations at the market level. Examining the questions
from the within-market over-time angle would be useful because it would help to isolate the changes in
local news that are due to changes in cross-ownership. I understand the scheduling data is of lower
quality going back in time. Future studies similar to this one will, and should, benefit from studying
changes in cross-ownership over time as well as differences across markets as future data becomes
The scheduling data is sampled from very specific weeks of the year as noted in footnote 20. There are
seven weeks for 2007/2008 and three weeks for 2009. These weeks might not be representative of the
rest of the year.
The definition of local news is a news program that is locally originated. This could include national news
that is produced at the local level. Whether the FCC would like to count this in their ideal measure of
local news depends on how one interprets the goal of localism.
Econometric AnalysisThe author studies two primary regression models: one for station-level local news and one for market-
level local news. He then analyzes a series of models with alternative assumptions to assess the
robustness of his findings in the primary regression models.
The stated goal of the study is to analyze the ``Best Linear Predictors'' (BLP) of these relationships.
Practically, this means the author is not as concerned with the causality of the explanatory variables, but
rather the statistical correlations. This approach is at odds with recent fashion in empirical economics
which seeks to uncover causal effects. For evaluating policy, the causal effects are more useful as they
isolate what changes cause what outcomes. Nonetheless, studying the BLP is a well defined and
researchable question. The language employed by the author throughout the study properly recognizes
the distinction between studying the BLP and causal effects. The author could think about what
assumptions that would be necessary to interpret the estimated relationships as causal break down in
this specific institutional setting. What omitted variables would he be worried about and which
explanatory variables would they be correlated with? Such an analysis would help the reader gain a
higher level of understanding of the primary regressions that are analyzed. It would be one step closer
to analyzing causal effects which would ultimately be more useful for policy making purposes.
In estimating the BLP's, the author's methodology is sound. He employs the workhorse method of
Ordinary Least Squares which chooses the parameters of the BLP model to minimize the total squared
error of predictions. He conducts a battery of robustness checks to assess how the results would change
due to different definitions of local news, incorporating a selection model to account for missing
scheduling data from 2007, incorporating a Tobit model to account for the mass of observations of 0
minutes, and including market level fixed effects\footnote{He is limited in this analysis because of the
lack of variation in cross-ownership within markets, partially due to the short length of his panel data
set.} The results are generally robust to these alternative specifications.
Do the Conclusions Follow from the Analysis?In short, yes. The conclusions in this study are statements of the econometric results. The assumptions
underlying the estimation of the BLP's are correct. The robustness results give comfort that the results
are not driven by an unusual feature of the data or econometric assumption. As mentioned, BLP's are
limited in their applicability to policy. However, the assumptions required for estimating a BLP
relationship are weak. Therefore, there is very little to argue about in terms of whether the conclusions
follow from the analysis.
Conclusion of ReviewThe author has carried out a detailed study on the statistical relationships between minutes of local
origination news programming at the station and market level and measures of market structure and
cross-ownership with other media. The author is upfront that the relationships estimated can not
necessarily be taken as causal relationships. More assumptions, which the author has not felt
comfortable making, would be necessary to interpret the results as causal. However, that is the
direction future research in this area ought to go. Future studies could attempt to find new data and
reasonable sets of assumptions for estimating causal effects.
The author is successful at estimating the statistical relationships between these variables. He employs a
data set that is comprehensive in terms of geographical coverage. It is not comprehensive in the time
dimension. Future research on this question will benefit from additional richness in the data in the time

Of course, there is no military solution to climate change. You can't resolve it with bombs and bullets. You can only solve it by ending our usage of fossil fuels, and protecting the public from the climate change impacts already in the pipeline. That is a rather different security challenge to the one usually faced by the military. But it also makes fossil fuels and the firms lobbying for them Public Enemy Number One.
Britain's warm, wet winter brought floods and misery to many living across southern England, with large parts of Somerset lying underwater for months. When in January rainfall was double the expected average over wide areas, many people made cautious links between such extreme weather and global climate change.
Back in the UK one could blame the farmers but the real culprit is our government and their ideology of scrapping environmental regulations in the absurd belief that a free market will hold back the waters. Whether through corruption, ideological dogma or an obsession with self-serving headlines rather than finding lasting solutions, both governments fail their people.
The overarching theme of this blog is to show that better use of the skills and creativity of the UK advertising and communications sector would benefit society as a whole as well as business... But even I admit that, with all the creativity in the world, none of us could stop the floods which have dominated our media landscape.
Type the phrase "good in a crisis" into Google and you get 1.8 million hits. Search for "good at preventing crises" and you get just sixteen. It's a sad fact that - whether as individuals or as nations - we spend infinitely more time, energy and money dealing with problems than we do preventing them.

A bistro and art gallery in Iowa is the latest target of a discrimination charge from angry homosexuals after the owners of the business refused to accommodate a pair of gay men who wanted to use the facility for their "wedding" ceremony.
Dick and Betty Odgaard are owners of the popular Görtz Haus, an art gallery and bistro located in a stately old former Lutheran church in Grimes, Iowa. In early August the homosexual men approached the Odgaards about holding their marriage ceremony at the Görtz Haus after the hotel the couple had originally scheduled for the event went out of business.
However, the Odgaards, who are Mennonite Christians, politely declined, explaining to the men that their religious convictions would not allow them to hold the homosexual ritual in their facility. "To us, marriage is a sacrament that exists only between a man and a woman," said Betty Odgaard. She emphasized to Des Moines' KCCI Channel 8 news that their decision did not come from "an angry place," but was based "on our religious beliefs. We want to honor that. We want people to know that is our stand that comes from our faith, our convictions. I think we should just stand by that no matter what."
According to the TheBlaze.com, the homosexual men, identified as Lee and Jared, have reportedly filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, which deals with possible violations of the state's anti-discrimination measure. A homosexual activist group calling itself One Iowa believes that the Odgaards are guilty of discriminating against the homosexual men. The group noted that the Iowa Civil Rights Act stipulated that it is "unfair or discriminatory" for a business to deny services to a potential customer based on sexual orientation.

Judas Priest -- Kansas City, MO -- August 1st, 2008
Dawn of Creation/Prophecy
Metal Gods
Eat Me Alive
Between The Hammer And The Anvil
Devil's Child
Breaking The Law
Hell Patrol
Dissident Aggressor
The Hellion/Electric Eye
Rock Hard, Ride Free
Hell Bent For Leather
The Green Manalishi
You've Got Another Thing Coming
I think this is what we got. I was dying of dehydration (literally) and I KNOW I left to get water after Dissident Aggressor (which I got on tape along with Breaking The Law) and I know as I was leaving they played Angel. I'm pretty sure they cut out Death and I know for sure they did not play Sinner. But you know what? Still one of the best I've seen. :rocker:
Expect a full review soon.
Other bands:
Jackyl :cool:
Drowning Pool :mad:
Federation Of Horsepower :eek:
So let's get right into it.
First up as I was walking into City Market was Federation of Horsepower. They're a band that has a guy from the radio station with Johnny Dare on it. As an opening band, they weren't half bad. If I had to choose whether to have Federation of Horsepower open up or a metalcore band, I'll go with the Federation. Pretty fun band and the guitar solos were pretty good. 6.5/10
The last song they played was called "Testify"
Now, there's something you have to understand at this point. This concert is put on by 98.9 KQRC for Johnny Dare and his 15th Anniversary of his show. This is the same radio station that put on "Rockfest" with such fantastic bands as Shinedown, Seether, and Filter. So...let's just say that 85% of the people here are stupid rednecks who like to pick fights, drink beer and smoke weed. And 65% of those rednecks are [I]45 or older[/I]. It's pretty weird to see someone who probably has kids my age smoke weed. Anyways, why do I say this? Because everyone went [I]apeshit[/I] for Drowning Pool. My God, what a terrible band. Every song sounded the same, the guitars sucked, the vocals REALLY sucked, and the banter in between songs was just...bad. They did play "Bodies" which was just as bad. The vocalist said "Think back to when you first heard this song and try and relive that feeling!" Uhhh...so you want me to be miserable again?! Whatever. Here's the HIGHLIGHT of the set which made me lol. You know how bands take forever to end their songs, especially at the end of their sets? Drowning Pool played the very beginning of Creeping Death. That's right. [B]Drowning Pool covered (at least a bit of) Metallica[/B]. :lol: 3/10
Setlist included:
Tear Away
37 Stitches
In between each band they had video clips from several people talking about Johnny Dare. That includes Lewis Black, Tommy Chong, Dee Snyder, Lisa Lampanelli and Brian Johnson of AC/DC. Thought that was pretty cool.
My step-dad looooves Jackyl, and while they are a fun band, they just got kind of tiring. And lemme tell ya, I know Jackyl is like an 80's band and kind of glammy I guess, but damn, the lead singer is extremely effeminate. Anyone ever seen the HBO show "Cathouse"? About the brothel? They flew out the owner/star of that show plus two of his girls because apparently, Johnny Dare does a show there every Valentines Day. They were a lot better to look at then the flashing girls in the crowd. :hecho: They ended with a Johnny Dare/Lead Singer guy chainsaw duet. Fun band. 7/10
Setlist included:
I Stand Alone
She Loves My Cock (that's right)
Redneck Punk
The Lumberjack
and one song that originally has a guy from ACDC doing vocals.
But really, who are we there to see? The Priest, that's who. Although at this point, I was getting, like, sickeningly dehydrated. I was wobbling and the people pushing constantly (THERE ISN'T ANY ROOM UP HERE, CALM DOWN AND GO BACK) didn't help. I decided to stick around 'til Dissident Aggressor and then bail out for some water and watch at a better distance. The setlist is the same as Europe, but I'm 99.9 percent sure we got a smaller list by a couple songs. I know I left for water after Dissident Aggressor and I know I remember them playing Angel as I was leaving. I just don't know if they cut out Death (I think they did) or if they played Hell Patrol (not too sure). They for sure did not play Sinner, though. But, DAMN. They were fantastic. They were really firing on all cylinders and every member sounded fantastic. Highlights were Dissident Aggressor, Painkiller, The Green Manalishi and You've Got Another Thing Coming. 10/10

Hey, they kept all three Painkiller tracks. I'm as happy as a man whose favorite Priest song is Beyond the Realms of Death can possibly be on this tour :D
