Dirty Dozen Brass Band
For over thirty years, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band has boldly forged the traditions of New Orleans jazz with the modern influences of Bebop, Funk, R&B and Pop, creating a new standard by which all other New Orleans groups, brass band or otherwise, are measured. The Dirty dozen are tireless travelers, maintaining a continuous touring schedule that has taken them to over 65 countries on 5 continents serving as a bridge between the past and present of New Orleans rich musical history.
For their most recent tour, The Dirty Dozen relied on PreSonus' FireStudio to capture each performance. Combined with two DigiMax FS 8-Channel preamps and Sweetwater's Creation Station, the Dirty Dozen used a splitter snake to split the signal between the recording rig and Front of House console. With this simple yet powerful setup, the band has been able to record every show on their nationwide tour. Recently, PreSonus met with the Dirty Dozen at Chelsea's bar in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Watch the video below to check out the set up and some clips from the show.
The FireStudio / DigiMax FS / Creation Station recording system is connected directly to the stage microphones and instruments via isolated splitter snake. This allows the recording engineer and the front of house engineer independent signals coming from the stage.

I woke up to Fin as he crawled onto my belly. I opened my eyes to see him smiling at me through his pacifier. I lifted my hand to stroke his hair. "Where did you get this?" I smiled at him tapping the pacifier on its head. He gave me a cheeky look before sitting up on me holding it in his mouth. I lifted him up as I sat up and sat him on my lap. I looked over at the empty bed before looking back at Fin as he pulled the pacifier out of his mouth staring at it before putting it back in. "Where's Daddy?" Fin looked up at me before pointing to the door. I got out of bed holding Fin making my way towards the door opening it. Taylor was on the phone as I walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah if you could just bring them there so I can-" He stopped mid-sentence as he saw me. "I'll call you back. Thanks man." He closed his phone and looked at me as I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Who were you talking to?" I asked him sitting Fin down at the table in a chair.
"Just an old friend." He kissed me putting a plate down in front of Fin of eggs and sausage. I shook my head at him before sitting down to Fin to cut up his sausage and eggs for him. He handed me his pacifier before picking up his fork. I got up to go put the pacifier back in my bag.
"Did you give him his pacifier? Because if you didn't than he went into it and got it." Taylor looked up from the stove.
"No I gave it to him before. We were up and I didn't want to wake you so I gave it to him. Is that alright?" I nodded.
"Yeah it just would be a problem if he got it himself." I walked back over to him wrapping my arms around his waist. He turned around wrapping his arms around me too. "I love you Taylor." He smiled at me kissing me.
"I love you too Baby." He moved one of his arms to move around the scrambled eggs he was making.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked him as he put a plate in front of me and another plate in front of the chair next to me.
"Well I was hoping you would want to go to Disneyland with Fin. You know as a family." I nodded happily.
"I would love to." He smiled as Uncle TJ came into the kitchen dressed in full uniform.
"Morning Bailey. Morning Taylor." He smiled at Taylor before kissing my head. "Morning Buddy." He fussed Fin's hair as he ate.
"You off to work?" I asked him as I started to eat.
"That I am." He smiled stealing a piece of sausage from my plate. "So I hear you're going to Disneyland today?"
"That's the plan." He nodded walking over to the counter near the phone.
"Take these. These should get you in." He handed me some booklets.
"What are they?" I asked opening one to read it.
"Year passes. We go all the time." He smiled. Taylor's smile seemed to get bigger as Uncle TJ winked at him. They were up to something. I know they are. I finished off my eggs, and the rest of Fin's as he only ate about 3/4ths of his.
"Are you going to call your sister?" He looked up at me his fork half way to his mouth.
"Remember you promised her if we went we would bring her?" I shook my head at him. "Go call your sister we have an hour before it opens." I picked Fin up making my way back towards the bedroom as Taylor picked back up his cellphone. I sat Fin down on the bed as he picked up Gator. I pulled out some clothes from my bag for Fin. He put his arms up as I pulled his t-shirt off and helped him into a light grey one with buttons up the front. I helped him into his underwear and a pair of clean jeans before running my fingers through his hair making him giggle. "Perfect." He picked up Gator before running off to Taylor. I took the chance to pull down my pajama pants and pulled on some jeans. I pulled off my pajama shirt and pulled on an undershirt and a shirt over it. I pulled on my hoodie before slipping my shoes on and grabbed Fin's little sneakers. I walked out of the room as Fin sat on the floor next to his father's feet. Taylor was on the phone again before hanging up.
"Hey baby." He smiled at me kissing me as I picked up Fin and put his shoes on.
"Hey, you going to get dressed now?" He nodded standing up.
"I'll go now. You just stay here. I won't be long." He kissed me before walking into the bedroom. I sat Fin on my lap as he fussed Gator and leaned back into me. He held it to him as Uncle TJ drank some coffee across the table.
"Well I'm off. Have a good time sweetheart." He smiled putting his cup in the sink before coming over to kiss my head.
"Alright. The stroller is in the back of the Jeep. Do we need anything else?" Taylor asked walking out of the bedroom.
"Yeah I just have to pack my bag. It won't take long. Go put Fin in the car." Taylor nodded walking out as I got the bag ready with everything we would need as well as packing Gator and slipping in the Disney passes from Uncle TJ. I walked out as Taylor finished strapping Fin in. I got into the car as Taylor got in next to me pulling out of the driveway. "Is Maria coming with us?" He nodded.
"Yeah we are going to pick her up before going." He smiled at me taking my hand in his. I smiled at him before looking out of the window. We pulled up to Taylor's parent's house and stopped. Maria ran out and got in and Taylor pulled away before anything could happen.
"Ready to have fun?" Taylor smiled at her in the mirror. She nodded before looking out the window like me. When we got there we parked the car in the Disneyland parking lot before getting out. Taylor got the stroller and started to unfold it. I got Fin out of the car seat. I put my bag in the bottom and helped Taylor strap in Fin. We started to make our way to the park with Maria next to us telling us all about how her school year was last year. I smiled at her as I pulled the passes out of my bag and we got into the park. By then I was almost jumping up and down with excitement. Taylor laughed at me as we started our journey into the happiest place on earth…..
We were sitting at a table eating lunch. We had been to so many places with Fin running next to the stroller I was pushing giggling before going to where he wanted to, having Taylor and me follow him. Maria had a couple of friends here so she went to find them as we explored the park. I finished off my food as Taylor smiled at me before rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Taylor are you okay? You have been doing that for the last hour. Is something wrong?" He shook his head.
"No, no, no. Nothing's wrong." He said shaking his head. I sighed.
"You're not acting like nothing's wrong." Taylor looked at me.
"I'm sorry Baby." He kissed my head. "Why don't you go to that shop and look around with Fin?" I looked at Fin curled up fast asleep on Gator in the stroller with my hoodie over him. The hood of the stroller kept the sun off him.
"Alright." I sat up before kissing Taylor. "Call me when you're done." I rolled the stroller over to the big store. A nice 10 year old boy opened the door for me. I smiled at him and thanked him as he ran off back to his parents. I rolled the stroller into the store looking around the walls covered in Disney things. Heaven is what I call it. I grabbed what I knew were Fin's favorite characters, and some he might like, and put it on top of the stroller before rolling it over to pay for what I got. It was all stuffed animals right now. Taylor would help with the rest when we came back from whatever he was doing that go him so nervous. He hasn't been like this in…a long time. The cashier smiled at me before peaking at Fin who was still fast asleep. He had been running around all morning and it was nap time so I near he was going to crash sooner or later. It was a good thing because I was getting tired from chasing him all morning. He would be out for a while. I had 7 stuffed animals a plastic tool box from Handy Manny. She gave a little laugh before starting to ring me up. I had a Nemo, Mater, a Simba pillow, a Rex doll, a Captain America, a Rafiki, and stuffed cheetah from the animal kingdom. I know Fin will love the tool box too because he likes the show. I gave her the money before putting the bag in the bottom of the stroller. I started to look around again to pass time when my phone got a text message.
***New Message*** 3:43***Taylor*** Come outside. I have a surprise. ***
I rolled the stroller out of the store and stopped in my tracks. Taylor stood in full dress blues smiling at me. A small crowd was watching him in wonder. "Bailey come here." He smiled at me. I rolled the stroller over to him and stopped, walked around the stroller and stood in front of him.
"What..?" I trailed off staring at him. He smiled at me, still having that nervous edge to it.
"I have been planning this for months now. I wanted it to be special. As special as I could make it."
"Taylor…." He rubbed his neck again with his white gloved hands.
"I asked your father some time ago. He said yes. He said when you were a kid you asked wanted to be here when the moment happened. I wanted to make your dreams come true."
"Taylor…are you…?" I trailed off again feeling tears come to my eyes.
"Bailey I love more than anything. I wanted to ask you this, here." He took a deep breath before putting his hat on my head and dropping down to one knee. "Bailey Kelsey Williams, will you marry me?" I put my hand over my mouth as he pulled out a blue box and opened it to reveal a beautiful silver diamond ring. "Will you?" His eyes searched my face as I nodded, tears rolling down my face. He took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto my left hand on my ring finger before standing up. I looked around as people started to clap loudly.
"I love you." I whispered looking down at the ring. I took his face into my hands and kissed him. He pulled back and smiled.
"Do you like the ring?" He asked taking his hat back and putting it on his head again.
"I love it." I looked down at it again. "Where did you get it? I haven't seen anything like it." He shrugged smiling at me.
"I need something perfect for you. A platoon brother gave me the card of a woman who designs jeweler for a living on base. She's a Marine Girl. Alyssa Tanner." He ran his finger over the ring. "She thought you would love it." I kissed him again.
"I do." I smiled happily, more happy than I have been in a while.

Speaking in her hometown of Chicago, Clinton was discussing the "Team of Rivals" chapter of her new book, outlining how she had campaigned against Barack Obama in 2008 before accepting the new president's request to become his first secretary of state.
"That's what it was in the beginning, a senator from Illinois ran against a senator from New York, just as had happened way back with a senator from Illinois named Lincoln and a senator from New York named Seward," Clinton said, in a reference toAbraham Lincoln and William H. Seward. "And it turned out the same way."
Lincoln, of course, never was a U.S. senator, although he did serve in the U.S. House. Earlier in his electoral career, he was elected to the Illinois General Assembly as a member of the Whig Party.
In 1858, Lincoln lost an election against Stephen Douglas for a Senate seat from Illinois, yet gained a national reputation through their Lincoln-Douglas debates that helped him win the Republican nomination for president in 1860.
In early May, Clinton received the Order of Lincoln, the state's highest public honor, during another visit to Chicago. In accepting the award, she called Lincoln "the greatest president who ever served our country."
"With Hillary Clinton trying to rewrite her own history during through this book tour, it's only fitting that she tried to rewrite Abraham Lincoln's history, by claiming he was a U.S. Senator," Republican National Committee spokesman Jahan Wilcox said in a statement. "Before she embarks on another presidential campaign, Clinton might want to take a History 101 refresher."

text: I am new here to this forum but not new to cycling. Four years ago I got back into cycling after along absence from the sport. I purchased a new Giant OCR-2 for road cycling. I ride as much as I can and just love getting out there and just ride!!!!! However, I am looking into the purchase of a new bike, this time I am leaning toward a "Dual-Sport" bike. This will enable me to ride on either paved or gravel surfaces. Not sure which one to get just yet, still researching all the major brands. Anyway, I am looking forward to being part of this wonderful forum!!

WARNING: I'm grumpy and sad.
Just a little update on what's going on with me so I can explain in one place why my race plans have changed for the next couple of months.
In my previous post I wrote about how speedwork was going decent but I haven't really worked on endurance. The farthest I've run since Boston was 12 miles, a couple times. Mile repeats have been in the 6:08-7:20 range, depending on the day and how many, etc. I'm not in good shape at all, so I have been surprised that I could still hit miles in the low 6's especially since I could stand to lose 20 pounds.
I was planning on the El Scorcho 25k this weekend in Dallas/Ft. Worth area for a fun run with some friends. That can't happen now.
I had LASIK done in December. Since then, I've lost vision a few times in my right eye. I've gone to my checkups and everything was fine, but a couple weeks ago on a Sunday when this happened, I called the emergency line and got an appointment for first thing on Monday morning.
He dilated my eyes and did a full exam, then said everything looked perfect. He is a marathoner, and we've talked about running and the Boston, which he ran, too, at every appointment. He said he was worried that somebody as young and fit as me is having total loss of vision and usually that happens from either blood clots in the brain or a tumor pressing on the carotid artery. So he got me an appointment the next morning with my doctor for blood work and to schedule an echocardiogram and MRI of my brain.
That appointment was last Tuesday. The quickest I could get in for the other tests is this following Monday at 7am. But, I did get my bloodtests back for my thyroid. I'd been on meds for about 6 months because I finally couldn't take it anymore. Hypothyroid is (depending on different doctors) TSH levels above 4-5. Well, after months of trying to get it regulated, my TSH levels are still at 82. Yup. 82. A few years ago I was at 17 and I thought that was bad. So he upped my dosage. I hate my body and how I gain weight no matter what/how much/ I eat and work out. People that have TSH levels of 100 go into comas.
I'm pretty grumpy and I get depressed thinking about what my body hasn't allowed me to do for the last almost year. Just when I was getting back to a regular training schedule. I get worried thinking about what I won't be able to do for a while. I was going to try and run a BQ at Bass Pro in November, but I think that is out of the question. So I'm dropping to the half and will put my marathon focus on another race.
I'm really nervous about the echocardiogram and MRI. The only good thing I can say about all of this is at least I met my high deductible on my insurance in February for the year so I only have to pay 20% of the rest. Oh, and my blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol levels are "perfect." I'm most nervous about a tumor because my father had brain cancer a few years ago and just about a month ago they found another mass in his brain.
In the last 9 months I've had terrible PF, heel spurs, my left hip is 1 1/2 inches higher than my right hip so I've been trying to get that figured out with orthotics and exercises, my right foot is slightly deformed since birth and the sports med doctor said I will always have issues with my right foot, I had a torn ligament and muscle in the top of my right foot before and during Boston, I've had blood in my stool for 5 months and they never could figure out what was/is causing it for sure, I had ruptured ovarian cysts, a piece of **** thyroid that makes me fat (which makes me depressed), and loss of vision caused by who knows what. I hate my body.
And they told me not to run. But I still have, some, just not hard. Yesterday I ran a 5k in 23 minutes (didn't push it til the last mile), but I've mostly just been spinning, going on the elliptical, and doing pushups and planks.
I know on my last blog I wrote out all my plans, but plans bite me in the ass. I'm not making any plans for anything because something will just come and ruin them.
I just want to run a minimum of 35 miles a week and have fun!
Well, I guess I still have had fun. For a wedding gift my perfect husband bought me awesome seats at the Cardinals game last Tuesday right between the dugout and home plate (and I made eye contact with Freese!!!!! ahhhhhh!!!) and awesome tickets just a few rows back to see DMB, my favorite band ever! So that was really fun and the part of life with him couldn't be more ideal. I just hate my body and want to stay healthy for more than 3 weeks at a time.
Hopefully next week they won't find anything and I can start running again.
OMG girl...I'd hate my body too if it were doing that to me. I can't imagine what you are going through and I do know that it is rough not being at the running level you want to be at. I hope everything is fine and that you get it all sorted out AND you get to start running again. I'll be thinking about you. Hang in there and you'll be kicking ass again before you know it! <<HUGS>>
WOW that is a lot going on there.
Hopfully they'll get it figured out and you will be back to normal before long.
My prayers are going out to you.
Yaaa for the OSOM DH!
Runners Make the Best Friends
Oh and please keep us posted on what you find out!!
Well, geez. I'm so sorry. I won't try to say anything comforting, because I know that when I feel grumpy attempted comfort makes me even grumpier. But know that I'm thinking about you, and this shirt you sent so many ages ago is soooooo comfy. I'm happy for it every day.
I hope you get some answers that will help you hate your body less! I can't imagine the frustration this has caused. Love you!
Good luck with the ECG and MRI. I'm sure that you'll be back to normal very soon.
Damn, that's a lot to have to go through. Fingers crossed everything gets figured out soon and you can get back to being the kick ass runner you know you are.
Hope they can get it all figured out and get you back to the way you should be. Even with all that you are still so speedy! (And eye contact with David Freese? I think I might fall over on the spot...)
wow that's a lot to deal with...... sending prayers for good news!!
Peace, Love & RUN!!
Well, you're still fast and adorably cute, so that counts for something, right? And scoring the perfect husband and stepson counts for a lot too! I hope you get that stupid body to behave soon! Love ya!
Please keep us posted! Oh, and please continue relentlessly pushing forward, no matter the obstacles!
Hope you get some good news soon.
Wow... I'm really sorry to hear all this news! I had no idea you were having troubles. My fingers are crossed and I'm praying for you Chicklet! Keep us posted on your test results..xoxox RC

*Stomp, stomp, stomp* Rawr! Can't a girl catch a break?? I hope that you get all the mysteries solved and are able to get to your 35 mpw without feeling like you have to put up a fight. Stay strong girl!
Oh my, that is a ton of stuff to deal with. I really hope you get it figured out soon. Good luck with the test results.
And I can commiserate about the thyroid thing. I've been hypo my whole life. Makes it so hard and frustrating to lose weight.

all of this sucks. one thing is bad enough but to have one thing after another is too much. so sorry. prayers for you. try to still be happy (which it sounds like you are) with all the wonderful stuff that is going right
Years ago I read something about blood in stools is common with some long distance runners. You may want to check into that.
So sorry to hear all this .... that stinks! Hoping they can figure out what is going on and you can get some answers. Praying for you.
It would be hard not to be grumpy with all that going one. I am wishing you the best, and I'm amazed at your not-hard sub 23.
Oh my, this sucks. I pray everything goes well and the tests come out ok!
"Glory is Fleeting, Anonymity is Forever"
Speed+Pavement = a fling
Distance+Trails = True Love
I hope the tests start giving you some concrete evidence of what is going on. If you feel like reading something good, check out a book called "It Starts with Food". It talks a lot about how our food choices can affect our bodies in ways we never would have thought were caused by food choices. It's a great book full of information that may provide good distraction during the wait for the tests and results. Hugs for you and a healthy life to come
Don't hate your body too much; it's trying. Hang tough and rant all you want, cause we'll listen.
Don't stop believing
Hope you get some good news soon!
I can't add anything new to what everyone else has already said. I'll say a prayer for you that things start going the right direction. Good luck.

The Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum is my favorite place to spend free time. A few years ago I took one of their public workshops and was hooked.
As a volunteer I was given the opportunity to learn about the history of the Hamilton Company but, more importantly, I learned about the people who worked here. Many of our volunteers are former employees who worked at Hamilton for decades. It's so much more interesting to hear the story from the people who were there. As I learned the history and began to give tours, I saw that the museum has something for everyone.
History buffs, wood workers, machine guys, printers and vacationers who stop by after getting ice cream - all find something to capture their imagination. There also are artists who come from all over to visit. Some come to do workshops or internships, others to help clean, sort and catalog the collection, and the public workshops give everyone a chance to be an artist.
When Jim Moran became director he started an annual Wayzgoose Conference that brings in hundreds of people every November for a three-day event, which draws many of the world's leading printers, artists, and typographers. They are thrilled to travel to our city to be a part of it.
If you aren't convinced, "google" the museum and see how many people are talking about it right now. People all over the country are hosting fundraisers, donating money and coming to town to help us get ready to move. Two Rivers is a community that has worldwide fame and admiration. We also have a huge fan base right here in Wisconsin. I saw this when so many of our neighbors came to support us on our last day open in the old Hamilton space. It was heartwarming.
The Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum is an important part of the community and will continue to be after we move.

Romulus 3 years, 1 month ago on Newton Citizen Poll for Oct. 7, 2012
Newton Citizen Poll for Oct. 7, 2012
I have to disagree with Covingtonian: I think every article SHOULD be subject to direct comments. The days of reporters writing in a vacuum is over and this is the age of free and open discourse. As such, reporters should be held accountable to their readers if and when they engage in the yellow journalism tactics that we see from those "News" organs in the grocery store aisles. The NCSS lawsuit has been about freedom of expression since day one and The Newton Citizen has solidly come down on the side of freedom and liberty each and every time. Comments give readers the capacity to add interest and value to a story as the search for truth continues. We are given the opportunity to participate as opposed to passively accepting whatever we read. The Citizen Poll is yet another example of the paper listening to the community and I would wager that it is one of the most popular sections of the paper. The other paper and many in the community would rather everyone continue to act like sheep, and just sit down and shut up and do what they are told. Is that the sort of world you wish to live in? You want to live in a place where the only voices heard are the "official" ones? That is the current reality and climate within NCSS, much more appropriate to Bejing or Tehran than Covington, GA.

Odd there hasn't been a story about the gun found in the theme school a week ago.
The simple fact is, is that parents with any means or responsibility whatsoever are going to: a. Homeschool b. Charter school c. private school d. Move
That's what parents in Clayton and Dekalb did. Unfortunately, when they moved here, they brought their little problems with them. But at least the parents TRIED to enable something better for their children. In 10 years, it will be Morgan county that inherits this mess from those choosing d above. The point is, is do not settle for the status quo. Vote 'Yes' to the amendment on the ballot in November and vote in Mr. Corkery to the school board. Our children and their parents desperately need options.

Students bringing guns to the theme school...a teacher being assaulted..an administrator being beaten bloody...drug-laced brownies. All of this in just one week. And the BOE has the gall to come out against their only real competition, Charter schools while applauding a verbal assault on the only BOE member who seems to be even willing to acknowledge that the Newton school system has problems. This system is becoming more obscene by the day. Vote 'yes' on the charter school amendment so that our children have a real hope of getting a quality public education.

Carpenter not selected as finalist for Florida system
The freedom to peaceably assemble is still a constitutional right, last I looked. It wouldn't surprise me if they eventually resort to dogs and fire hoses. And people wonder why we need a charter school constitutional amendment.
THIS, my friends, is why we need to pass that measure so that our children have an avenue of escape from school boards like ours. They are simply out of control and inept. If voters are so blind as to re-elect someone who so obviously is contributing to our schools being run into the ground, at least allow parents who care enough the power to vote with their feet, and take their children and that money with them. The present board can not be trusted to do the right thing, plain and simple. They can't get their simple minds around the concept of the conflict of interest of an administrator , suing a board member. Or the corruption of one administrator hiring their spouse, relatives and friends. Or a high drop out rate or failing test scores or really anything else. Our kids need help here, and we can't look to our own school board to provide it. The Carpenter problem only reveals the deeper cancer. Getting rid of them treats a symptom, but the absent leadership will still remain. Just what sort of new supt. now walks into this mess?

This is the chicken coming home to roost. The Carpenters have persecuted, prosecuted and and otherwise tried to bully their naysayers. They send a clear message "If you say or do anything against us, you will not work for us, no matter how good your qualifications." Now boards of education around the country are saying the same thing to them: "If we hire you, you might sue us if for some reason you don't like what we say about you. Thanks, but no thanks." Why would ANY BOE invite such a headache into their lives? Any BOE, that is, except ours who seem impervious to reason and logic. Only one man has the courage to stand up and represent us and our children. Hang in there, Jeff. We'll try to get you some help come November.

I predict that the Newton county school openings are going to become easier and easier over the next few years. This is because they are going to have fewer and fewer students attending as parents flee with their children and their taxes. Please remember the nonsense of our own school board when you vote for the charter school amendment in November. Parents and students need a choice that is free from the political antics of these corrupt officials. Do it for our community, do it for our children. They deserve better.

Thank you Newton Citizen for providing a shield against an overly zealous attorney and her litigious clients. Comments are not the reason for students and teachers looking for ways to flee this school system. Nepotism and poor leadership are sinking NCSS. Vote YES this November on the Charter school amendment. Say YES to choice. The system is broken, and the families of this county are going to have to band together to protect their children. That lawsuit has done more damage than any other single thing to negate and destroy whatever good will might have existed between the school and the community.

Newton school board candidates discuss focus, perception
Turner is merely reflecting the belief of Dennis Carpenter, which is a distorted and misinformed view of blogging and social media. They think like 20th century dictators which is that any news outlet they can not control and intimidate is a threat. We see the same thing in Syria and Iran today. Commenting on an article is not the same as blogging, although some do seem to use this forum almost like one. If Carpenter or Turner had any real skills in written expression, they would start their own blog. Or they could write a column, like Meadors. They could articulate and tell their side and correct wrong perceptions if they are indeed wrong. Instead of ignoring negative comments or fighting proactively using their own platforms of expression they want to use intimidation and force to silence those who would speak out. Censorship is the domain of despots and it simply fans the flames of discontent by exposing the ruthlessness of the oppressor. It has no place in 21st century society and media. Attempts to convince Carpenter that such media has a place in education and can improve teaching and learning failed. The world moved on while he stayed stubbornly entrenched: a posture which the entire school system is paying for. We need people who can embrace openness and transparency. Instead of trying to hide and cover up, the problems need to be addressed. Bloggers and news media do not cause the problems they report.

Parents well understand that distracted driving is one of the most common causes of accidents among teens. However, recent data suggests a mere fraction of moms and dads have gone to lengths in order to prevent their son or daughter from using a handheld device behind the wheel.
According to a survey conducted by Ford Motor Company, one of the top concerns parents have about their teen driving are the distractions that can prevent them from keeping their eyes on the road. When these same individuals were asked if they had taken any steps to reinforce safe driving behavior, though, only 26% said they had.
Steve Kenner, global director of Ford's Automotive Safety Office, noted that automakers are increasingly implementing standard feature technologies that prevent motorists from using a cellphone behind the wheel.
"Features such as MyKey … help parents and teens as they develop the skills needed to control a vehicle, detect hazards and assess driving situation," said Kenner.
In addition to keeping young motorists safe behind the wheel, these technologies may translate into lower auto insurance costs for parents, given that they help decrease the risk of being involved in an accident. Policyholders may want to discuss with their independent agents what steps they've taken to reduce driving-related distractions.

Police to narrate Marikana shootingComment on this story
Rustenburg - More details through the eyes of the police are expected to emerge when an inquiry into the August 16 shooting in Marikana
resumes in Rustenburg, North West, on Friday.
On Thursday, retired judge Ian Farlam, chairman of the commission of inquiry, adjourned proceedings as Lt-Col Duncan Scott was outlining the police deployment plan of August 16.
He told the commission that the SA Police Service (SAPS) plan for that day included sending 630 police officers to the troubled region.
Later that day, 34 miners were killed when police opened fire on them in a bid to break up a protest. Ten other people were killed in protest violence the preceding week.
Scott gave details of the weapons and resources used in the roll-out of the police's second stage of a six-point intervention plan.
"On that day (August 16), we had 630 police officers on day shift and 88 members were for the night shift," Scott said.
Another policeman, Lt-Col Victor Visser, earlier narrated the events which took place from August 13 to 15.
Visser gave an account of the violence and murder committed, allegedly by protesters.
He showed the commission photos of the body of a mine supervisor who had been hacked to death.
"Not the police, and certainly not their co-workers, were spared by these protesters. The body of the supervisor had been hacked several times and a (cattle) skull was placed on his chest.
"There were several other animal skulls lying around in the veld. Whether the skull had any significance or not is not for us (to judge)."
On August 13, Visser said, after police had thrown stun grenades at the rowdy protesters, the strikers charged at police officers, overpowered two and hacked them to death.
Members of police's tactical response team chased the killers.
"The pursuing policemen were fired at by the protesters, using the weapons they had taken from the deceased officers. The group managed to escape."
Video footage and photographs showing the bodies of the hacked officers were shown.
The first policeman had deep cuts to his head and face. The second had a deep wound in the back of his head and gunshot wounds in his chest.
Visser said police officers in a helicopter witnessed the attack.
Another three people - two protesters and an unidentified man - were found dead on August 13 following the confrontation, said Visser.
As of August 14, the death toll relating to the wage dispute had risen to 10. Sixteen people were wounded.
On August 15 around 3am, Visser said there was an ATM bombing at a supermarket in Wonderkop, Rustenburg.
"At that scene, a police round was found. It was linked to the R5 rifle which had been stolen from police officers killed on August 13."
Explosives had been used to gut the ATM, he said. Police reinforcements were rallied and 746 officers were sent to the Marikana region around 6am on August 15.
The contentious issue of the muti (traditional medicine) rituals allegedly undertaken by the protesters were also highlighted.
Visser said naked protesters had queued to be sprinkled with muti in rituals purported to make them invincible.
Aerial photographs of two queues of naked men were shown to the commission. - Sapa

Lossless Extensions for Opus (Backwards Compatible), How to embed lossless deltas inside an Opus stream

After reading a good chunk of the Opus RFC, I believe it may be possible to use Opus padding to embed lossless deltas for each packet. It states that this padding may be of any size, and that while an Opus encoder itself must set any padding to zero, the decoder must accept any value. It also states that when the decoder has finished reading bytes from a frame for decoding, it may not spill over into the padding for further input. Hrm... Sounds like an arbitrary extension field to me.
My only concern is about just how much padding decoders would be willing to accept before deciding that the packet is a DOS attack.

I knew of an MPEG-4 scheme that involved an AAC track and something like an MLP track with deltas, but I didn't know MPEG-4 had a hybrid scheme like DTS-HD. It still doesn't really change things for me, though. I want something like this to exist in the royalty-free domain, and be compatible with a large number of devices.
But I think I'm getting ahead of myself by going even this far. I think it would be best if I created some Opus streams with random padding of ridiculous lengths. I need to see if existing decoders can handle that. The Ogg+Opus specs seem to suggest that players should discard packets that are even slightly too large, although I had a very hard time understanding that paragraph.
If I can't have ridiculous padding work on existing decoders, then assessing this any farther is pointless regardless.

Acer to ship four CULV notebooks, hurt Apple?
updated 10:15 am EDT, Mon March 30, 2009
Acer CULV Plans
Internal sources at Acer have reportedly claimed today that the company is planning four systems based on Intel's CULV platform and could pose a significant threat to Apple. CENS hears that systems will launch as soon as April with 11.6-inch, 13-inch, 14-inch and 15-inch models appearing as part of the early lineup. Their technical details aren't known, though the 13-inch versions would use magnesium alloys to give them strength without impacting weight.
Although the claim is potentially suspect as it contradicts reports that the affordable ultra low-voltage processors won't be in notebooks until the summer, it backs claims that Dell, HP and other "large-sized international" computer companies are planning systems of their own that could arrive in May.
Regardless, the systems are already thought to likely dent sales of higher-end ultraportables from companies like Apple and Sony. Intel is known to be targeting systems between $599 and $1,299 with CULV and hopes to give both performance and size between slower, Atom-based netbooks and full-speed notebooks without the traditional $1,500 or higher prices of true ultraportables.
Apple has itself said it has "some ideas" for computers in the netbook class but has resisted their slow speeds and small sizes. It has also publicly resisted offering systems below $500 over quality concerns.

In fighting disease, aggressive action is not always advisable. Two years ago a federal panel recommended against routine use of a test for prostate cancer because it carries "a very small potential benefit and significant potential harms." Some men get false positives, and many true positives lead to risky surgery for cancers that grow so slowly as to pose no threat.
Then there is power morcellation, which uses a device to shred uterine fibroids. The Food and Drug Administration has warned against its use in hysterectomies because "there is a risk that the procedure will spread the cancerous tissue within the abdomen and pelvis, significantly worsening the patient's likelihood of long-term survival."
All this has relevance beyond medicine. When President Barack Obama denounced the jihadist group the Islamic State that beheaded American journalist James Foley, he called for action "to extract this cancer so that it does not spread." The United States has been bombing its positions in Iraq and may expand the attacks into Syria. This could be the prelude to a bigger U.S. undertaking.
As least that's what our leaders seem to be hinting at. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel claimed the Islamic State is a threat "beyond anything that we've seen." Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey called it an "apocalyptic" group that will "have to be defeated."
The hysteria confirms that the U.S. government can turn any enemy into a rampaging Godzilla posing an imminent threat to our survival. In reality, this one is a fringe insurgency with maybe 10,000 fighters who are stretched thin and outgunned by the Iraqi military.
The group, whose fanatical nature is not in dispute, has managed to rout units of the Iraqi army and gain control of a slice of territory. Its leaders claim to have founded a strict theocratic state on behalf of Muslims the world over. They vow to "raise the flag of Allah in the White House."
If big talk were music, these guys would be a marching band. But issuing threats is easier than making good on them, and seizing turf is not the same as keeping it. The Islamic State's success promises to be its undoing. U.S. military intervention is more likely to multiply the danger than reduce it.
Even Dempsey admits there is no evidence the group is plotting attacks on the U.S. That's not surprising. It's pretty occupied right now fighting the Kurdish army and the Syrian army. Being Sunni in a Shiite-majority country, it isn't likely to try to march to Baghdad, where the Iraqi army would have the help of Shiite militias.

Pledges about taxes
Ron Saxton's campaign announced recently that he had signed a pledge to oppose new taxes as governor.
The two other major Republican candidates, Salem attorney Kevin Mannix and state Sen. Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point, earlier had agreed to the pledge, said Jason Williams, the executive director of the Taxpayers Association of Oregon.
Portland attorney Ron Saxton has surpassed the $1 million mark in fundraising for the governor's race, a sign that he can give better-known rival Kevin Mannix a serious run in the May Republican primary.
"In early terms, it puts him even with Mannix, if not even ahead," said James Moore, a political scientist at Pacific University in Forest Grove.
State political candidates haven't filed campaign-finance reports since September and don't have to file again until April, making it difficult to assess their fundraising success until the primary approaches.
But Saxton shared a spreadsheet of his donor list to buttress claims that he is leading the pack in the race for cash.
"People are getting on board early and significantly," Saxton said. "The early fundraising demonstrates the resonance our message is having with people."
Saxton's fundraising prowess "helps make him a viable candidate," Democratic political consultant Mark Wiener said. "It shows me you have a very interesting and very competitive race on the Republican side."
Saxton, a founding partner of the high-profile Ater Wynne law firm, is raising hefty sums from a large number of Portland corporate chieftains, timber-industry leaders and real-estate executives. Although Saxton is tagged as a moderate Republican, his nearly 900 donors include many prominent conservatives. He has collected more than 20 donations of $10,000 or more, topped by $100,000 each from his finance-committee chairmen, former ambassador William Swindells and Jeld-Wen executive Roderick Wendt.
By contrast, Mannix still is raising money to pay off debts from the 2002 governor's race, which he lost to Democrat Ted Kulongoski. Mannix raised $452,503 by the last reporting period in September but had to allocate $294,432 of that to pay off old loans. He still was carrying $462,552 in loans.
"He started in an awfully deep hole," Saxton said.
Mannix political adviser Jack Kane said his client actually faces a narrower money gap with Saxton than he did in 2002, when Saxton finished third in the GOP primary to Mannix and former Labor Commissioner Jack Roberts.
"They are ahead of us," Kane conceded. "But we're very close to a million, and we'll be there by the end of the month, if not sooner.
"He's paid his debt down," Kane said of Mannix. "He's cut it in half."
Kane wouldn't share Mannix's donor list to corroborate his fundraising claims. But he said the nearly $1 million sum includes $200,000 promised, but not yet delivered, by businessman Paul Drago, plus a "substantial" sum from Loren Parks.
Parks, who relocated to Nevada three years ago, has been one of the largest contributors to Oregon political campaigns in the past decade, including Mannix campaigns.
Saxton twice has demonstrated his ability to raise large sums. Yet skeptics doubt he can overcome Mannix's popularity among the party's socially conservative base, which dominates primary voting. Mannix came out on top in the 2002 primary despite being heavily outspent.
Saxton appears to be shifting his message about abortion rights this time, said Matt Evans, the campaign manager for the third major GOP candidate, state Sen. Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point. Saxton is saying that he could support a parental-notification requirement before teens may have an abortion and a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortion, Evans said.
But Evans said Saxton's support for abortion rights makes it difficult to win a GOP primary.
"I don't think there's a plurality for a social moderate in this race," he said.
Early polls show both Saxton and Atkinson with support in the single digits, Evans said. Atkinson jumped into the race late and, unlike Saxton, never has run statewide.
Mannix doesn't need to raise as much money as Saxton to win the race, Moore said. Mannix is well-known among conservatives from three past races for governor and attorney general, for leading successful crime-fighting initiatives and for his service in the Legislature. The Salem attorney also is known as a scrappy campaigner who can gain attention without a large budget.
"Mannix has lived hand to mouth for these campaigns for so long and been successful, you can't count him out," Moore said.
Others say Saxton has a key advantage this time aside from money. Last time, he and Roberts were considered moderates and gave socially conservative Mannix a good contest.
The "physics" are better for Saxton this time, Wiener said. "There are two conservatives and one moderate, instead of two moderates and one conservative."

Florida Senate Passes Bill Banning Insurance Co. Descrimination Against Gun Owners
Well, actually, my lede pretty much summarized it:
The Senate passed a bill that would make it illegal for insurance companies to deny policies or charge higher rates solely based on gun ownership.
The bill passed Tuesday on a 36-3 vote.

That's warm.

If insurance companies looked at the data, they would give gun owners lower home insurance premiums. Gun ownership probably has the same effect on theft as a security alarm system.
The only problem would be in states that don't have castle defense laws. You could shoot a bad guy and successfully get sued. In those states, gun ownership would result in higher premiums.

I don't say "dang" but I do say "so smart." so close enough. :)
I realized last night that today is the first Friday of the month, which typically means it's book review time.
But, um, well…I forgot. And I promised Erika Napoletano I would do a review of "The Power of Unpopular" the week it comes out (March 20) so we'll substitute the March review then.
Sound good?
In that case, I'd like to introduce you to Adam Justice, otherwise known as etelligence.
Adam is, hands down, one of the smartest search and web developers I know. In fact, every time he writes a blog post for us here or content for Spin Sucks Pro, Lisa Gerber and I both say, "Dang! So smart!"
He writes for Yahoo! about technology, which is one of those beasts I tried to figure out a couple of years ago and never did. But he clearly has because he's a featured writer for them.
He has a couple of websites and blogs (you can find him writing about social media at adamjustice.me and about technology and the web at adam-justice.com), but the main reason I'm featuring him today is because he just launched Social Media Sun and it's something everyone should check out.
Never mind the fact the design is GORGEOUS (makes you want to hang out there all day long), it looks to be a really good site for everything surrounding social media.
From the site:
Social Media Sun knows social media. We understand privacy settings, marketing practices, stats and analytics, hash tags, meta tags and net lag. We know which button made the text on your screen too big, and we know how to write a blog post that will index in search. We don't know everything, but we have a large network of friends who fill that gap with their experience and expertise. They're here to help you too. So as you navigate the Internet under the banner of web 2.0 and social media, remember where to come. When it comes to social media, we're everything under the sun.
Before you explore Social Media Sun, though, check out the New Here? blog post.
He has must reads for new visitors, he makes it easy to subscribe to the blog, and he even has a Facebook group dedicated to further discussion about the blog topics at hand.
So check him out. You're sure to learn something. I know I do.
Hey, do I get a prize if already know your #followfriday guest? Or let me guess what you're going to say, Gini... Knowing Adam and being in the presence of his wisdom is already prize enough. You could be right, because he knows things that I only read about - which is probably read his blog so much. I'm pumped to be part of the Social Media Sun community.. Even if don't know how to add the code to show of my badge on my site and get tracked. Congrats Adam! Gini sure has been on a roll with her #ff nominees the last two weeks!!
My name will NEVER be as cool as Adam's :-( *kicks sand*
Adam you have a Super Hero Name. @SociallyGenius is going to be VERY jealous. He might look like a Super Hero but you sound like one! So Gini says you know buttons. Do you specialize in metal? Ceramic? Wood? Vintage?In some of the antique shops in Vermont they have jars and jars of vintage buttons. I will gladly get you some if you like. Sadly vintage doesn't have the social technology upgrades modern ones have.
Well if you learn Pins too you can become her personal Haberdasher. You do know Haberdashery is a lost art correct? And they rake in big bucks. You know Donald Trump has one on call?
And if you learn zippers you will be like Google and have everything you need to rule the world.
Grats on being highlighted. But until Gini pins you on her Super Hero Board you haven't quite been fully honored ;-)
Hi Adam ( @etelligence ) Nice to "meet" you here. I always look forward to Fridays for @ginidietrich 's #Follow Friday recommendations because, she really knows what she is talking about when it comes to awesome people to "know". I will definitely check out Social Media Sun (love "we're everything under the sun"...so great)
Psssst....don't tell @ginidietrich but I'm kind of glad that she didn't do a book review today...it's bad enough that she's so darn smart in general but then when she starts writing these reviews of books with big words and high falootin' ideas...well, frankly, I'm a little intimidated ...but that will be our little secret ;-)
wow, thanks Gini! This was unexpected, but greatly appreciated. Everyone loved your contribution to the site, and I'm in your debt for the credibility you lent for the launch! Hopefully in a year or 2 from now we'll be having the same initial guest bloggers as the first keynote speakers at an industry conference!
@Lisa Gerber I'm adding this as a mental note right now. "Always make sure that if I quote Lisa Gerber, to do so in a verbatim manner, no dang" :) I actually was smart when I was younger, but now I capitalize on any residual intelligence by down playing my stupidity lol, Plus I'm like a big mud puddle, wide and shallow. That's great when you do a little bit of everything and want to get your ankles wet, but there's a lot more to be said about people who are a well of knowledge, focused in one spot, but deep enough to draw pure water! It's still a nice compliment coming from someone as smart as you are Lisa, so I'll take it! In small doses anyway.
@SociallyGenius Wow. I didn't even have to respond to this one. Thanks for doing my work for me!
@RedheadWriting what, Erika with a K is crazy awesome! Napoletano makes it sound even more badass. But names don't have much to do with it, what you do with your name makes all the difference, may I have another? :)
@RedheadWriting You have a pretty good name all on your own!
@HowieSPM You are crazy.
@HowieSPM You're right, I am very jealous for two reasons. A) The Name... Adam Justice screams Marvel. So much so that I'm switching my name from Tony Bennett to the Green Blogger. B.) Gini broke our non-compete agreement for exclusive rights to be the only superhero commenter here. His cool name clearly violates that provision
@HowieSPM @SociallyGenius haha thanks Howie. That's weird, I have heard that before (That my name sounds like a super hero), I'll take it! I always thought, if I joined the army, I could be "Major Justice" , then I'd really need a cape!
I'm going to have to look in to this Haberdashery. I don't know much about buttons, but Idid make one for the Social 100 app on the site! It looks like a gold medal, for #winning !
@HowieSPM @SociallyGenius Wait..... @ginidietrich has a Super Hero Board???!!!?? Um.....
@SocialMediaDDS Puh-lease. You're just as smart, if not more, than me!
@SocialMediaDDS @ginidietrich Nice to meet you as well Claudia! I love the specialization you have going with Dentists, 70% of the design and consulting work I have done in the past 2 years has come from dentists, doctors, lawyers and real estate people. The professional service sector is a gold mine if you know where to dig.
I had thought up several "Sun" related puns over the last 3 weeks. The tagline on the site is "Rise and Shine with Us!" , and I threw around the idea of using the word eclipse for something. The best one that didn't make it was a cartoon Sun I drew up that I named Copernicus, but he didn't fit anywhere lol. But look on the BRIGHT side, the days are getting longer, and the Sun is shining stronger ;)
@etelligence That would be awesome!!
@Lisa Gerber or, I could start quoting you daily and add dang to every single one lol. Joking though, Life Lesson #87 - Never mis quote the Editor!
@ginidietrich @SociallyGenius Tony you do know Adam is cheating on you with Wonder Woman aka Ms Gini right? So you can be honest. He is no super hero. In fact he prefers Blimpies to Subway. And sweet white wine to complex reds. Oh and he farms all the SEO work to a sweatshop in Greenland. 8)
@SociallyGenius @HowieSPM Not true, TB. He's not in a cape.
@etelligence @HowieSPM @SociallyGenius Major Justice!!!! LMAO!!!!
@SocialMediaDDS I have no such thing! @HowieSPM is causing trouble!
@ginidietrich @etelligence Can I be the MC? I'll even sing.
@etelligence @Lisa Gerber I think you should definitely quote her as saying dang.
Latest blog post: Shift the Perception of Public Relations
@ginidietrich @SociallyGenius Definately Tony! You have to wear that nifty cape though!
@SociallyGenius @etelligence Adam! He's going to sing! Please say yes!

|Infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis complicated by a superior mesenteric artery mycotic aneurysm and systemic septic emboli in a patient with colon diverticulitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20932486 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|To date, Streptococcus bovis endocarditis complicated by a superior mesenteric artery mycotic aneurysm and systemic septic emboli in a patient with colon diverticulitis has never been reported. A 46-year-old man, with a history of colon diverticulitis identified by diagnostic colon fiberscope and with hypertension, presented with a 14-day history of intermittent fever. An echocardiogram revealed severe mitral regurgitation with two large floating vegetations attached to both mitral leaflets. A blood culture grew S. bovis. Abdominal pain and left leg weakness developed 10 days after admission. Computerized tomography identified a 5×3cm mycotic aneurysm, and angiography revealed a saccular aneurysm at the distal branch of the superior mesenteric artery. A duplex study revealed an intravascular mass at the left femoral artery bifurcation. The patient accordingly underwent surgical resection of the mycotic aneurysm, removal of the mycotic thrombi, and mitral valve replacement. The patient's recovery was unremarkable.

Friday practice update: Stars will have to focus on Minnesota after Modano's No. 9 is retired
Lindy Ruff addresses the media after Friday's practice in Frisco. Watch here.
The Stars had an optional practice Friday, and that's probably going be a consistent theme as they push through the final 19 games in 38 days. However, the biggest concern on Saturday will be dealing with all of the hoopla of the Mike Modano number retirement and still be ready for a huge game against the Minnesota Wild.
"It's a tremendous honor for the players to be part of seeing a player who means so much to this franchise have his jersey retired, so you enjoy that part of it and then we have X number of minutes to prepare for the game," said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. "It's a little deviation from a normal game, but it's an honor to be a part of."
Minnesota is in seventh place, five points ahead of the Stars, so a win over the Wild could create the hunger for Dallas to look up in the standings. Vern Fiddler said the veterans understand how tough it is to balance the ceremony with the game.
"You're going to have to be able to turn that switch when the game starts," he said. "You have to keep your focus, because there is a lot on the line in this game. I think this is one of those where the older guys can help the younger guys, because we may have been through something like this."
Ruff said the Wild have played well and bring a serious challenge.
"They're a gifted team when it comes to line structure and the number of players who can hurt you," Ruff said. "At the same time, they reached a point in their season when they decided that playing a better game defensively was going to be advantageous. So watching their games, they are giving up less, and I think that's where we hit a turning point too."
Minnesota sits sixth in goals against average at 2.36 and sixth in shots against at 27.9.
The Wild added scoring winger Matt Moulson at the trade deadline.
"When you look at where they're at, they feel the time is right for them to make a big push," Ruff said.
Ruff was asked his memories of Modano, who helped beat his Buffalo Sabres in the 1999 Stanley Cup Final.
"Nothing but bad ones," Ruff joked.
"Just how well he skated and the shot he had," Ruff said. "When you're coaching against him, you had to spend time to try to shut him down."
