Leela James
Part of Etta James legacy, besides her singular voice, was her transgressive spirit. James did much on her own terms, even until her death, and it is that spirit that vocalist Leela James taps into for her latest recording
Loving You More (In the Spirit of Etta James
Like her 2009 cover recording
Lets Do It Again, Loving You More
(Shanichie) is less a collection of remakes and more an example of James own original (and yes transgressive) interpretation of the music of an iconic figure such as Etta James. The best indication of James intent is the opening track, in which the hard driving Rhythm & Blues of Somethings Got a Hold on Me, one of Etta James signature tunes, is featured as modern jump-beat replete with hand-claps. Minus the brass instruments, Leela James version almost feels like it belongs in a Second Line.
Something Gotta Hold on Me is one of the tracks on Loving You More, that will forever be linked to Etta James in the popular imagination. The younger James might have been forgiven if she simply played it straight on some of these tuneswith her own unique vocal stylebut to her credit, she apparently thinks more of Etta James legacy, and trusted that her own artistry would stand on its own.
With the help of producers Drew Ramsey and Shannon Sanders (Heather Headleys In My Mind), James sounds assured and original on tracks like Id Rather Go Blind and At Last, (shes joined by Sanders on both.) The two songs were staples on two of Etta James most popular early albumsher debut
At Last
(1961) and her comeback
Tell Mama
(1967)and both feature piano lines reminiscent of classic Doo-Wop. The songs are a nice gesture to Etta James early development as lead singer of The Peaches (Roll with Me Henry), working with band leader Johnny Otis.
On the equally well known Etta James ballad, A Sunday Kind of Love, James is every bit as laid back, as her version recalls some of the recent work of Meshell Ndegeocello on recordings like
Devil's Halo
(2009) and Weather (2011). Etta James would likely find Leela James version unrecognizable, but in many ways that is the point. The largesse of the late James vocal gifts has inspired artists (musical and otherwise), far beyond the Chess Records studios where she built her reputation.
One of the strengths of
Loving You More
, is that Leela James was not simply content to delve into the most recognizable Etta James, and spends as much time on the later decades of James career, when she, like so many of her generation, were re-branded as two-fisted Blues singers. It was a period when much of the nuance of James voice had been lost, but it still possessed its power. Its also a period where James earned nearly a dozen Grammy nominations and won the award on three occasions in three different categories.
Audiences were re-introduced to James with the release of her live recording
Seven Year Itch
(1989), from which Leela James offers a version of Etta James Damn Your Eyes. In the spirit of the era that it was recorded, Leela James performs the song in a style that immediately recalls mid-1980s synth-R&B like Cherrelle and Alexander ONeals Saturday Love, while the background vocals feature the refrain damn, damn, damn in a pop culture reference to the TV show "Good Times."
Leela James draws from Etta James own collection of covers1998s
Life, Love and the Blues
performing I Want to Ta-Ta You Baby, a song originally recorded by the late Johnny Guitar Watson for his classic
Aint That a Bitch
(1976). Leela James version is closer to the Watson original than James cover. Aint That a Bitch also features Watsons Superman Lover, which became a favored hip-hop sample in the 1990s. Leela James makes those connections to Hip-hop with her version of James It Hurts Me So Much (1961), featuring a sample of Dr. Dres Still Dre, as the song serves as a homage to the city of Los Angeles, of which both of the James women and Dr. Dre are some of the citys native children.
Leela James willingness to re-imagine the music of Etta James through many musical and historical contexts, speaks to the ways that the older James music was a constant inspiration for the younger James, regardless of what kinds of musical styles might have been catching her fancy at any given time. Fittingly, one of the highlights of the recording is the Leela James original, An Old School Kind of Love, which is a simple reminder of the place that Etta James will always have in the hearts of her fans.

Where Can I Buy BusparOctober 8, 2012 1 Comment
Where Can I Buy Buspar, I've got the basic mechanics of the game worked out. Buspar canada, It's time to playtest. Unfortunately, Buspar us, Buspar usa, there's still a lot of stuff up in the air, so this very first round (we'll call it Round 0) is going to have quite a bit of making it up as we go along, 200mg Buspar. 20mg Buspar, First round will consist of Bridget and myself trying to wade through the game.
To prepare, Buspar coupon, Buspar craiglist, I've been working on the consoles the players will be using. Below, you can see the engineer's console, Where Can I Buy Buspar.
My hope is, 750mg Buspar, Buspar australia, when the game is actually going to be made, that these consoles will look like a Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica control panel, Buspar japan. Buspar mexico, For now, they need to be print-friendly, 500mg Buspar, Buspar paypal, and so they look pretty bare-bones. In addition, Buspar uk, Buspar ebay, those squares for filling in energy will actually be dials you'll turn to reveal numbers. I think it'll look really cool, 150mg Buspar, 50mg Buspar, and be very evocative. Where Can I Buy Buspar, Also, I haven't begun to develop the Captain's Orders. I need to see how the game plays before I can have a role making changes to the rules, 1000mg Buspar. 40mg Buspar, I'll be using some Star Wars Starship minis for initial playtests, and the actual ship stats will be identical, 10mg Buspar, 30mg Buspar, just to flesh out the rules. More variation will be added with time, 100mg Buspar. Buspar india, Once Phase 0 is complete, and I've been able to process and change the game, Buspar overseas, 250mg Buspar, I'll begin looking for playtesters to work on Phase 1. This phase will introduce more human ships, with aliens further down the road, Where Can I Buy Buspar.
I've still had people worried about gathering up 10 players (or 12 if you're using carriers) to play. Again, I'd like to emphasise that 10 isn't necessary. Will you have a better time with 10. Perhaps. But to gather 10 people, you'll probably want to play the full game at a Con or a big game day. For smaller groups, you'll just combine roles together.

Just let me vote!
Sue LoTempio | Nov 03, 2013 | Comments 1 | Send a letter to the editor
Anyone surprised by a recent study that found voters with disabilities still face significant barriers trying to vote in federal elections? That nearly 40 percent of those surveyed said they face physical barriers to the polling place and 45 percent said they had problems with the voting machines?
The cynic in me is only surprised that the numbers aren't higher.
I believe it's my duty as an American to participate in elections, but I gave up going to polling places because of the poll attendants who freaked out when I asked to have the (old-fashioned lever-type) voting machine lowered. They panicked when they realized no one had been trained to do it, or the person trained wasn't there, or the gadget used to adjust the booth was missing. Then they got all nervous when they noticed the long line of people forming behind me. I left embarrassed and convinced that perhaps my patriotic duty was to prevent the drama next Election Day by not showing up.
Luckily, I had some carefree voting experiences during the years when my then toddler accompanied me to the polling place. Once the curtain was closed in the voting booth, I would lift her onto my lap and direct her to the levers she should pull. The most fun was pulling the final lever that cast the votes and opened the curtain with a dramatic flourish. She loved that!
As she grew older and more independent, she'd fight with me as to which lever to pull. The voters waiting in line patiently outside the booth could hear my precocious 5-year-old fighting with me over which candidate to choose for county executive or U.S. senator.
Later she took part in a Kid's Voting program that let schoolchildren in our community cast their own votes in the same races their parents voted in. She would go to her part of the polling place and I would go to mine and return to the drama of the too-high voting booth.
Once she went off to college, I started voting in the comfort of my home, even though I realized that my absentee ballot would not be counted until after Election Day. Somehow, that makes my voting seem less important.
I miss the sense of community that comes with voting in a high school gym or fire hall, and feeling part of the democratic process – both lost when casting an absentee ballot.
But polling places – like so many other places in our country – too often roll out the "Not Welcome" mat, which leaves too many of us out in the cold. Luckily, some people are recognizing the need for improvement, or at the very least obeying the law.
Towns and counties have applied for grants to make their polling places more accessible. And at Michigan State University, researchers have developed the "voting joystick," which is designed to "eventually enable people with dexterity impairments, senior citizens and others to exercise their right to cast ballots independently," according to MSU Today.
The voting joystick is comparable to the joystick used to control motorized wheelchairs. "Some 125,000 people in the United States use a joystick-controlled wheelchair and nearly 7 million have difficulty grasping objects, suggesting a growing need for better accessible voting devices," said one of the researchers.

FWIW, it isn't a perfect solution, and does potentially raise the issue of voting privacy, but a handicapped voter IS allowed to either have an assistant of their choosing help them vote, or get one of the poll workers to assist… The poll worker at least is legally prohibited from discussing how you voted with anyone afterwards. (Theoretically so is another assistant but that is less enforceable)
Ideally there should be an accessible voting booth / method provided, but the lack of one shouldn't stop anyone legally able to vote from doing so, as the poll workers MUST make it possible…
(If you have a problem, contact your State's Secretary of State or Attorney General's office, as a problem means several laws are being violated…)

Other series included "Buffalo Bill" and "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide."
His movie roles included a flamboyant window dresser in the 1987 comedy-romance "Mannequin." He also appeared in "Damien: The Omen Part II."

It's been a while — over 20 years, arguably — since the last time a big-screen movie composer had to write some new music to represent the Klingons, but the wait will soon be over, if the Star Trek into Darkness soundtrack samples that Michael Giacchino posted to his website last week are any indication.
The track titles on Giacchino's scores tend to be a little punny, and the newest score is no exception, as one of the tracks from his latest Star Trek score is called 'The Kronos Wartet'. This is an amusing reference to the four-piece string quartet known as The Kronos Quartet, but it is also a reference to the Klingon home planet Qo'noS, the name of which is apparently spelled "Kronos" in this film.
Before I comment on the sample itself, I'd like to take a step back to look at how the Klingons have been treated musically in previous films, going all the way back to the very first film in the franchise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, released in 1979.

HARLAN COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - Police say newly created Neighborhood Watch programs in Harlan County are helping catch criminals and reduce crime.
Several communities have started the programs in the past month.
Members say the goal is to reduce theft and drugs in the neighborhoods.
Evarts is one of the communities that started a Neighborhood Watch program. Around twelve people are involved.
"Be the eyes and ears out here in the communities and let them (police) know if anything suspicious is going on and of course report any crimes," said Preston McLain.
Evarts police say a member caught some juveniles destroying a picnic shelter and reported it immediately. Police say because of that, they were able to respond and save the city's property and handle the situation.
"It's already helped, and it's just going to continue to bring positive things to the city of Evarts. I think it's going to deter people from wanting to do stuff because if they know somebody is watching, people are less likely to do stuff. It's a proven fact," said Evarts Police Officer William Clogston.
Neighbors say they feel safer knowing someone is watching their home.
"It makes the neighborhood feel more secure. It provides better living in the neighborhood instead of being scared," said McLain.
Sheriff Marvin J. Lipfird plans to expand neighborhood watches all over the county.
Anyone who wants to join a Neighborhood Watch can call the Harlan County Sheriff's Department or your local police department.
The groups hold meetings and also have classes on how to protect yourself against crime.

RENO, NV - Just because she doesn't bring snow doesn't mean Mother Nature isn't being kind to Tahoe resorts. The recent cold temperatures have allowed them to keep their snow guns running around the clock, and skiers and riders will have a lot more terrain to play on this weekend, compared to last.
Thursday, Mt. Rose announced it would offer top-to-bottom terrain off the Northwest lift beginning Friday the 6th, and Northstar said it plans to offer the same by the weekend. Heavenly and Kirkwood are also opening up more acreage and it's all due to nearly perfect snowmaking conditions the recent cold temperatures have created.
In fact, Vail Resorts sent out this quote in a press release: "This may be the best week of around the clock snowmaking weather I can remember in a while for the first week of December," says Forecaster Bryan Allegretto of OpenSnow.com.
The company owns the largest snowmaking system on the west coast and added that at Northstar, Heavenly and Kirkwood, those systems have been working at full-force, allowing them to continuously open more throughout the week.
And while snowmaking should get this weekend off to a good start for visitors, there is hope an incoming weather system might add to the growing bases with up to 20 inches of natural snow in the forecast by late Saturday.

A Harlan County Sheriff's Deputy had to use a Taser gun on a man that was holding several people hostage inside a house.
The Harlan County sheriff says 37-year-old Rodney Thacker held four people at knife point at his mother's house in Evarts on Saturday and threatened to kill family members and police.
The sheriff says when Thacker lunged at Deputy David Williams, Williams had to use a taser.
No one was injured.
Thacker faces numerous charges including assault of an officer.

Apple files for patent on Smart Cover with flexible display
updated 07:46 am EDT, Thu August 2, 2012
Future Apple Smart Cover could include embedded display
An Apple patent application first filed in August last year has revealed a design for a Smart Cover with a flexible secondary display. According to the patent filing with the USPTO, Apple says that flexible display technology can be integrated into the flexible cover without changing the overall form factor of the device. Adding the flexible display into the cover "greatly enhances the overall functionality of the tablet device."
The Smart Cover with flexible display would be powered by a connection on the surface of the hinge span, and like the current Smart Cover, would be attached magnetically. Data would be allowed to pass bi-directionally over the same connection. As the Smart Cover users flexible display technology, it could be foldable, while also displaying different information separately on each of the individual Smart Cover panel segments.
The images embedded below highlight the many ways in which a Smart Cover with flexible display technology could function. These include using the cover to function as a virtual keyboard, or area for graphic design work. In video mode, the folded section of the rear exposed on the rear could be used to control media playback, for example, or display content on the reverse side in landscape typing mode (useful in a classroom environment).
Ironically, one of the companies that has demonstrated its prowess with developing flexible display technology is Samsung. However, it would not be the first time that Apple has used core Samsung component technology to develop innovative consumer products. [via Engadget]

Icahn And Apple - The Good, The Bad, And The Unknown
On August 13th, activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed a large stake in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This caused quite a steer on the markets which sent apple stock shooting up. Now, after a month has passed since Icahn's announcement and the dust has settled - It's worth taking a closer look at what this really means for Apple shareholders.
The good
Ichan is sending a strong signal to the market that Apple's stock is deeply undervalued. He's probably right. At a price-to-earnings of only 12.5x, and at a price-to-cash flow of a lowly 10x, the company seems exceptionally attractive both in absolute terms and in comparison to the broader market.
But the final destination of Icahn's signal isn't the market. It's Apple's management and Tim Cook in particular. In that sense, the purpose behind Icahn's move is to extract value from Apple. That's because merely sitting on a cash hoard of $147 billion (and counting...) is the classic definition of an inefficient deployment of capital.
Icahn wants Apple to increase its share buyback program from $60 billion to $150 billion by putting some of its cash pile to work and by issuing more debt at 3%. I'm a big advocate of share buybacks as long as they are executed at a convenient price. Since Apple's shares are highly undervalued right now- buying more of them is a very sensible move.
The bad
In a sense, Icahn's move might hurt Apple shareholders in two ways.
One, Apple's balance sheet will inevitably become more leveraged. This isn't necessarily a good thing. That's because the debt market is now in a totally different state than six months ago when Apple first raised $17 billion. It's now much tougher and more expensive to raise money.
Two, Icahn's announcement has caused Apple shares to climb higher, and faster. In fact, since Ichan's position was revealed Apple's shares have climbed from around the $460 level to more than $500. This might not seem such a big move at first glance, but a 9% increase in share price is a big deal when the company is in the midst of an aggressive share buyback program. Shareholders probably have been better off if the company had been able to quietly and gradually accumulate shares at $460 rather than at $500 and up. In a way, Icanh's victorious announcement came at the expense of existing shareholders, himself included.
The unknown
Whether Icahn's investment is successful or not remains to be seen. There are three points that remain deeply in fog.
- Apple has already engaged in a highly aggressive buyback program. Following Einhorn's pressure on the company, Apple has increased its then $10 billion buyback program to a staggering $60 billion program. It doesn't seem likely that Apple will consent to burden itself with another debt load just to increase its buyback program.
- Even if Apple miraculously agrees to Icahn's plan and ups its buyback program -it's still not a sure sign of a long term success. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), for example, has spent an aggregate amount of a quarter of a trillion dollars (that's not a spelling mistake) buying its own shares for the last 15 years. Yet, its stock price sits exactly where it was back in 1998, according to Forbes.
- Perhaps Icahn's real goal is not to make money on Apple but on a different company. Icahn controls 16% of Nuance Communications (NASDAQ:NUAN), the maker of the software that powers the voice feature in Apple's phones. The rumor is that Icahn intends to influence Apple's management to acquire Nuance. This will give Icahn a nice little bundle.
My conclusion
Whether or not existing Apple shareholders will benefit from Icahn's involvement with the company still remains to be seen. But the most important thing to keep in mind is that Apple shares are still deeply undervalued whether or not Icahn is a shareholder. I recommend to buy shares up to $550.
Disclosure: I am long AAPL. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.Tags: MSFT, NUAN, AAPL, long-ideas
ITMN- Trade SummaryOn January 25th, I recommended my strategy on how to make 4% a week during this earnings season.
In this article, I explained that the golden path to earnings is to only trade once the odds are in your favor. What I mean by that is to only trade companies which have a proven record of robust percentage change in stock price on the earnings day itself. Short those stocks on the day prior to their earnings report.We implemented this strategy on ATW last week and we made 3% a day.
Our next candidate was- ITMN. We shorted it prior to its earnings announcement on Thursday, after the close.
The company reported missing earnings and the stock lost almost 6%. For any of you who have not yet closed the short (bought to cover), this is the time to do so.We got ourselves another winner overnight.
FCX On The Verge Of A BreakoutFreeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (NYSE:FCX) is the world's leading copper company. After taking a beating in the second half of 2011, it is now nearing a breakout pattern.
Buy FCX above $42.5, take profits at $45. Set your stop at $41.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
MSFT is a great buy right now. Do not mind the 25% increase in 2012. Do not let this scare you out of a great bargain. Feb 22, 2012
It seems like my trade in ATW is playing out very nicely. The company missed earnings and losing 4.2% in the aftermarket. Feb 2, 2012

Mt. Pleasant area to be promoted as group tour destination
The Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau is set to begin promoting group tours featuring all things Mt. Pleasant.
The tours will center on three prominent local themes — honoring those who serve in the military, preserving the area's rich industrial history, and celebrating local life via a variety of recreational and retail attractions.
"We're looking at day trip options," said Linda Mauzy, vice president of group travel with the Ligonier-based bureau. "My position at the borough deals with organizing any form of group travel, whether it be a dozen ladies taking a trip to the local winery or a larger, chartered bus church tour. I also work with motorcycle clubs and car clubs."
Starting next week, the public will have access to a wealth of visitor-friendly information, appearing by Sept. 20 online at the bureau's group tour web page, grouptours.laurelhighlands.org.
It will also be printed in materials to be mailed out by the bureau, Mauzy said. "We're developing these tours to get them out to tour planners for consideration. We're creating the opportunity for them to consider what Mt. Pleasant has to offer as a tourist destination," Mauzy said.
Sites to be featured include:
• West Overton Museums
• The Old General Store at Countryside Plaza
• The Sand Hill Berry Farm and Greendance Winery
• Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum at the Mt. Pleasant Glass Center
• Veteran's Wall in the borough's Veteran's Park
• Leo and Sons' Grille 31.
Depending on the interests of each visiting group, the tours will include "Pleasant Mount Pleasant," "Day in the History of Glass," or "Day of Special Tributes — Honoring Our Men and Women of Our Armed Services," Mauzy said.
"When this opportunity is created, we simply make it fit the interests of the groups," she said.
To gather data for the itinerary, Mauzy and Mt. Pleasant resident Stacey Magda, who serves as the bureau's group tour coordinator, met during the summer with Jeff Landy, the borough's manager, and Leo Wisniewski, proprietor of Leo and Sons' Grille 31, to discuss development of a tour designed to thank veterans by introducing them to borough's time-tested heritage of honoring service men and women, she said.
"We talked about a Veterans' Tour," Landy said. "I think the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau recognizes that Mt. Pleasant has a lot to offer. From many years ago, erecting the Doughboy statue in middle of town, to new digital veterans' memorial wall, we have always honored our veterans here."
Mauzy said they also discussed the possibility of incorporating the James E. Zundell American Legion Post 446 in the tour.
"We talked about bringing in somebody from the American Legion Honor Guard to conduct a presentation, then have lunch or dinner at Leo's," she said.
Mauzy and Magda also met recently with Cassandra Vivian, president of the Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum, which recently became a bureau member.
"The final outcome might, in fact, incorporate the glass museum and the area's glass history for those who take us up on this tour suggestion," Mauzy said.
Vivian said she was excited at the idea of a tour featuring the museum, particularly since the facility recently relocated to the Mt. Pleasant Township center at 402 E. Main St., Suite 600.
"I think we have an opportunity here to make a difference. We hope that we're going to be successful. We think what we have to offer to the tourist who comes is the history of the three area glass factories, the fact that the docents who work here worked in the factories, (master glass cutter) Peter O'Rourke, and the inaugural bowls he makes for U.S. presidents," Vivian said. "We think these things should draw bus loads of people."
Greendance Winery tasting rooms/store manager Diane Dilworth said the group tour initiative is just the latest in the bureau's efforts to attract visitors from across the country.
"Linda is unbelievable. She's always been very organized and professional, and it's great to work with her," Dilworth said. "Any time we can get people to come in here, we're always open to exposure, of course."
Jeff Gales, proprietor of Old Country Store, hopes the initiative benefits all area businesses, not just his, he said.
"It's great for the area, anything we can do to bring in different people, it's a good thing," Gales said.
And one which Mauzy said she hopes brings the tourist masses to Mt. Pleasant.
"We can only offer all that is special about Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands and hope for the best," she said.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez, right, throws to first for a double play after forcing out Baltimore Orioles' Adam Jones on a ground ball by Henry Urrutia in the eighth inning Sunday in Baltimore. Chicago won 4-2. / AP
BALTIMORE — Pinch-runner Chris Dickerson got lost on the bases and was doubled up for the final out, and the Chicago White Sox ended a nine-game losing streak by holding off the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Sunday.
Down 4-1, Baltimore loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth against Addison Reed. After Ryan Flaherty grounded into a forceout at second base that scored a run, Dickerson ran for him.
Dickerson tried to steal second on a pitch to Brian Roberts, who hit a foul pop near first base. Dickerson didnt know where the ball went, and the baserunning blunder made him an easy out at first.
Rookie Andre Rienzo pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning and Adam Dunn homered for the White Sox. Reed wound up with his 37th save.
Adam Jones hit his 31st home run for the Orioles, who went 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight. Baltimore began the day one game behind Tampa Bay in the race for the final AL wild-card slot.
Dayan Viciedo had two hits and an RBI for the White Sox, who averted a four-game sweep and put a positive finish on a terrible that included three defeats apiece in Boston and Yankee Stadium. Only eight teams in major league history have gone winless on a road trip of at least 10 games.
Chicago (57-85) also avoided falling 30 games under .500 for the first time since ending the 1976 season at 64-97.
Making his eighth big league start, Rienzo (2-1) gave up one run and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. The Brazilian native walked two and struck out four in the second-longest outing since being summoned from the minors on July 30.
Rienzo left after giving up a two-out single to J.J. Hardy in the seventh. Flaherty followed with a double off Matt Lindstrom, who struck out Roberts to end the threat.
Bud Norris (10-11) allowed four runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings. He was 4-0 as a starter for Baltimore since being acquired in a trade with Houston on July 31.
The White Sox were clinging to a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning when Dunn hit his 31st homer after Alexei Ramirez led off with a single. The drive snapped Dunns 7-for-65 skid and traveled an estimated 424 feet before landing on Eutaw Street, far beyond the right-field wall.
The four runs the White Sox scored matched their total in the previous three games of the series.
NOTES: The Orioles open a four-game series against the New York Yankees on Monday night at Camden Yards. Chris Tillman starts for the Os against CC Sabathia. Chicago hosts the Detroit Tigers. Thats the good news. Were going home, manager Robin Ventura said before Sundays game. Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said OF Henry Urrutia, a Cuban defector, will not be allowed to accompany the team to Toronto next weekend because of visa issues. Chicago went 3-4 against Baltimore this year and hasnt won the season series since 2008. Urrutia and RHP Mike Wright were chosen as the Orioles minor league players of the year. Dunn struck out three times around his home run.

craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands on, therapeutic technique that releases restrictions and restores normal movement to the body's fascia. The fascia is a thick connective tissue layer that encompasses every organ, bone and muscle, including the brain, spinal cord, and nervous tissue. Normally, the fascia acts as a protective coating around these tissues while allowing the natural movements (flow of cerebrospinal fluid, muscle contraction and relaxation, etc…) of the body to occur beneath it. When the body undergoes physical injury or repeated stress, the fascia can become thickened and "sticky" causing it to adhere to the surrounding tissues and restrict those natural movements.
Craniosacral work is a non-invasive approach that focuses on the Craniosacral system of the body. It has been effective in evaluating and treating problems associated with pain, dysfunction and stress, as well as lowered vitality. Newborns may experience trauma to their system during the birth process, and this can manifest itself in colic, breathing difficulty, swallowing problems, and chronic ear infections. Craniosacral therapy can address the problems as they occur, but can also be used preventatively. Infants and children are exceptional candidates for craniosacral treatment as they are typically very receptive to the gentle manipulations and the bones of their heads are still not fused solidly together.
During a CST session the practitioner uses specific contacts on the cranial bones and sacrum checking for restriction of the fascia. Then using a light touch no more than the weight of a nickel, works with the body to release those restrictions. CST can be beneficial for many conditions including, but not limited to:
- pregnancy > balances the fascia of the uterus & pelvis.
Contact our offices for more information and to make an appointment for Craniosacral work.

We're all nodes on the network
While walking down Mission St the other day, my plans changed unexpectedly and I needed to get to Market St. I pulled out my phone and within 2 minutes a Lyft driver was pulling up and giving me a ride. It hit me that this is now possible because we're all nodes on the network. Between 2000-2005 every computer that was out there became a node on the network, but people weren't nodes. Even though everyone was on AIM, I could only reach you if you were sitting in front of your computer. But in the last 5 years, now that we all have internet connected devices in our pocket, it's funny to realize that *we* are now nodes on the network.
However, right now our nodes are not that interesting. Most of us only have one port open. It's the "chat" port. I can call/text everyone but that's about it. This is like the internet when interacting with computers consisted of Finger and Gopher.
But thanks to Lyft there are now ~10,000 people in the city of SF who have the "driving" port opened on their node. And Lyft runs a directory service where I can scan all open ports and benefit from a people node on the network in a way I never could before.
What other ports will soon be open on the people nodes? What other directory services need to exist? Facebook Graph search looks all the more interesting from this perspective.

Great perspective – #love it!
We are building the "we can help you with childcare" version – matching capacity to help with the frazzled parents who need assistance (whether regularly or last minute). As a parent of three, after ten years of using the alternatives, it was exciting to see our solution come to life and even more exciting to see real families benefit :)

The Department of Revenue and Taxation so far has paid $88 million in tax refunds for tax year 2013, or about 73 percent of what taxpayers are projected to receive.
The government estimated it would cost about $120 million to pay individual and corporate tax refunds, so about $32 million still is owed.
Those still waiting for refunds could be waiting until Oct. 15, which is the deadline set by the federal court for the prompt payment of refunds. That's six months after the April 15 deadline to file tax returns. ...

If you, like everyone else, can't get into Rao's, you might consider dropping by Destino.Nestled on a leafy, food-destitute block near the United Nations, the restaurant has a chef (Mario Curko) poached from Rao's itself. The menu even runs to the red sauce-joint favoritesspaghetti carbonara, chicken parmigiana, and veal Marsalamuch like that Italian-American institution. But though the tennis ball-sized meatballs are surprisingly light and airy and the veal is tender, the pasta dishes are puny and skimp on the cheese, both in quality and quantity. Aside from a lavish ceiling mural, the room feels like Little Italy without the kitsch factor. In good weather, when the French doors in the front are opened, regulars pack the front bar to listen to the piano man, but unless you're desperate for Eye-talian you're better off perfecting your wiseguy impression and holding out for the real thing.Recommended Dishes

Some of the best travel stories are those that weave together the author's story and the feelings with the place they are visiting. This is what I loved so much about Traveling with Pomegranates, a mother-daughter story written by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor.

Helen Gurley Brown, the self-described "mouseburger" who in the 1960s inspired women she said were like herself — average looks, brains and talent — to go out and get what they wanted out of life, including good sex whether they were married or not, has died. She was 90.
Brown, who went on to become the longtime editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, died Monday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia, according to an announcement from Hearst Corp. The cause was not given.
In 1962, Brown, a copywriter for a Los Angeles ad agency, wrote a book about the single life that she had recently left behind at what was then considered the over-the-hill age of 37.
Her "Sex and the Single Girl," a frank and exuberant mix of advice, exhortation and naughty girl talk, was a publishing phenomenon that broke ground by suggesting that the single woman not only had a sex life but was "the newest glamour girl of our times."
Many serious feminists have viewed Brown as a lightweight whose gushy writing style covered over a dual message that women were at once independent and yet should do everything they could to get a man.
But others, such as Barbara Ehrenreich, Elizabeth Hess and Gloria Jacobs, writing in "Re-Making Love: The Feminization of Sex" (1986), consider Brown the "first spokeswoman for the (feminist) revolution."
Von Freeman, Chicago jazz legend, dead at 88
CHICAGO — Revered around the world but never a major star, worshipped by critics and connoisseurs but perpetually strapped for cash, the towering Chicago tenor saxophonist Von Freeman practically went out of his way to avoid commercial success.
When trumpeter Miles Davis phoned Freeman, in the 1950s, looking for a replacement for John Coltrane, Freeman never returned the call.
When various bandleaders — from Davis to Billy Eckstine to King Kolax — tried to take him on the road, where his talents could be heard coast to coast, Freeman regularly turned them down.
His refusal to leave Chicago during most of his career, except for the briefest out-of-town engagements, cost him incalculable fame and fortune but also enabled him to create some of the most distinctive, innovative work ever played or recorded on a tenor saxophone.
And his devotion to the city where he was born, 88 years ago, made him a Chicago jazz icon honored with major tributes in Symphony Center, Millennium and Grant Parks, as well as standing-room-only crowds for his weekly gig at a remote bar on East 75th Street, the New Apartment Lounge.
Earlier this year, he became one of the few Chicago-based musicians ever to receive a Jazz Masters Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, regarded as the nation's highest jazz honor.
Artist Kinkade's girlfriend holds his mansion hostage
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Thomas Kinkade's stately mansion has become a brutal battleground over his fortune between his widow and girlfriend who still lives there.
Security guards have been stationed inside the gates day and night to make sure the girlfriend, Amy Pinto, doesn't steal anything.
Pinto — who dated Kinkade for 18 months before he died in April of alcoholism — has refused to move out, ignored invoices to pay $12,500 a month in rent and is "holding hostage this residence," Daniel Casas, a lawyer for Nanette Kinkade, said after a court hearing Monday in San Jose about the dispute that is tarnishing Kinkade's legacy as the "Painter of Light."
Judge Thomas Cain on Monday set a Sept. 17 court date to give Pinto time to "consider her options" of whether to stay or go and suggested that she "make sure everything stays where it is until the outcome of these proceedings."
Even though she hasn't worked since she began dating Kinkade, Pinto apparently has resources to pay rent on the house valued at some $7 million.

The whole country joined in on the shopping action for Small Business Saturday and right here locally some shoppers got to enjoy a little vino while they shopped local.
The Plumgate Shopping Center on the corner of Plumb and Arlington hosts a free wine walk once a month on the last Saturday of the month.
This month it just so happens the Saturday landed on Small Business Saturday.
"It's a great day to get out and support all of our local businesses we are here buying and supporting our local shops," shopper Ginny Wiswell says.
11 stores participate in the wine walks.
The businesses tell News 4 it's a great way to encourage shoppers to get out and see what local stores have to offer.
After all the majority of businesses across the U.S. are small businesses.
"If we don't have small business we have nothing. I mean you know give kudos to Walmart and corporations fine, but we need as a community to get into these small businesses and let these small businesses thrive," Core 4 Personal Training owner Terri Bakaric says.
According to Simon Brown, manager of Napa Sonoma, Saturday was the largest turn out they've had yet for the wine walk.

KADOKA, S.D. – (DRG News) Emergency responders within a stretch of I-90 had a busy few days as this week's excessive winds caused five semis to tip into the median over a two day period. Jackson County Sheriff's Deputy Dallas Kendrick says two semis were blown over Wednesday and three were tipped on Thursday. All of the accidents occurred in the same area of I-90 east of Belvidere in Jackson County and all of the trucks had been westbound at the time they were blown over-landing on their driver's side. The trucks had been empty or had been carrying light loads. Kendrick says no fuel was spilled but all of the trucks sustained various levels of damage. Luckily, there were only minor injuries to the drivers of the five rigs-with the worst of the injuries being a broken leg. One of the trucks was cleared away Wednesday night, but Kendrick says the others were to remain in the median between Exits 171 and 173 until today since the winds have finally diminished. Kendrick also says it's fortunate that none of the trucks collided with each other as they were pushed over by the winds-which in some locations were said to be gusting 70-80 mph.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- LeBron and Shaq: Two of the NBA's biggest stars are now teammates.
The Cleveland Cavaliers completed a blockbuster trade Thursday, bringing superstar center Shaquille O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns to play with current MVP LeBron James, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been officially announced.
The Cavaliers hope they are creating a basketball duo with the drawing power of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- or even Shaq and Kobe Bryant.
Each of those pairs won multiple NBA titles. The Cavs would settle for their first.
The Cavs are sending center Ben Wallace and swingman Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns, along with a second-round pick in the 2010 draft and $500,000 in cash, one of the people close to the deal said.
O'Neal has won four championships during his 17-year career -- three as member of the Los Angeles Lakers with Bryant and one in Miami with Dwyane Wade -- and will now try to get yet another with James, the league's reigning MVP, who is only missing a title ring from his personal resume.
The trade is a gamble for the Cavs. They are hoping that the 37-year-old O'Neal, who is past his prime and has one year left on a $21 million contract, can be the missing piece that helps James deliver his first championship to a city that has waited since 1964 for one of its major sports teams to win it all.
For sheer star power, the O'Neal-James tandem rivals any on the sports landscape today. And if it works, and lasts, the pairing may one day belong in the same company as some of the all-time combinations like Maris-Mantle, Koufax-Drysdale or Montana-Rice. But it could also be a one-year gambit.
Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry and Suns GM Steve Kerry have been discussing the deal for months and finally reached a preliminary agreement early Thursday morning. The teams had to get league approval before the swap could be announced.

text: The key to staying healthy on the water is being prepared. One of the best ways to be prepared on the water is to file a 'float plan' before you ever leave the dock. A float plan should include a description of your boat and your boat's registration number and fuel capacity. It should also include the names of all the persons aboard and any medical conditions they may have. You'll also need to include a timetable of your trip, including departure and arrival times. The coast guard also recommends that you include survival equipment on your boat. Most important are personal flotation devices, which you should wear all the time. You'll also want to include a first aid kit, a tool kit, additional food and water, extra batteries, a V-H-F radio, visual distress signals, binoculars, flares, flashlights, spare fuel, a pump or a bailer, and paddles. The u.s. coast guard highly recommends that every boater take a boating safety course and a basic eight-hour Red Cross first aid course.

Startups Need a VP of Customer Development and NOT A VP of Sales and are recent call!
Many of us in the Startup and VC world are familiar with the legendary Steven Blank and they should be for many reasons! I am particularly fond of this article, Job Titles that can sink our startup he wrote in Fast Company where he nails exactly the problems in mistaken hiring many Startups make by looking for a VP of Sales (while often successful in in more mature business models) is usually the wrong choice for developing and validating the where the Customers are and IF there is a sustainable business model in the early chaotic and confusing stages of most Startups life cycle.
I have based my sales and business development consultancy (or rather it grew organically) out of solving these challenges for Startups before they need to hire the VP, (if they should hire) of Sales and Business Development and to see if the whole enterprise is sustainable for the long haul (at least in terms of VC backed/funded long haul definition). Enough about me (oneillprod.com) and onto a recent call I had yesterday after having been referred to the CEO of a promising Startup company that came out of the Dreamit venture accelerator series.
It's not a good sign when (in my opinion) when a VC board member answers the main number of the company in question. I like the getting ones hands dirty/hands on etc. approach but the tone and attitude told me this individual wasn't that happy pitching in if you get my drift. When I asked to speak to the CEO of this promising SAS Startup that recently had run into some sales challenges (for the early VP of sales was removed) and my source thought I would be a good solution in the interim and hence my query. Mr. VC board member was not very helpful in connecting me to the CEO and our exchange was brief and ultimately confirmed in my mind to precisely the theme of the Fast Company article.
Let's just say that this VC had participated and perhaps had recommended in the hiring at the outset, the now departed VP of Sales to operate into exactly an environment that most are ill suited for (lacking something solid and defined in which to execute off of) and what Steve Blank refers to as the Chaos in early stage companies still looking for repeatable and sustainable business models. They (Startup) had not even found based on Steve's Customer Development Manifesto, the Customer Discovery and Customer Validation which is what most traditional VP of Sales need to work from in order to successfully scale a business model. I for the record, may be wrong in my diagnosis and reserve all rights to be called on (perhaps) said mis-diagnosis, but based on my experience in working with company management, boards, VC, etc., it just reeked like and that kind of myopic belief systemic approach that tried and true management structures will lead to success and they what we need is to find the "Right" VP of Sales. It's the whiff of arrogance I first got back in 2000 while working for my first Startup and why there is absolutely no digital or material trace of that enterprise…GONE!
"No, we are not interested in looking for outside help and do not consider looking for someone (like me as a consultant, who can find the first big customers quickly (cost) and help with the cash burn process) else or considering other options. We are searching for a new candidate and have our list…." Basically Piss Off! Fine thanks. So they go back down the road to further cash burn and delay, investing time, resources and what's worse, the refusal to look creatively at business development and sales as they found in this brash young company (potentially), developing and deploying a new business model (perhaps) that uniquely found a way to compete with the 800lb gorillas of more established players in their markets.
Let me for the record list the four attributes that are in my opinion (of course for they validate my business model) exactly what is needed in lieu of a traditional VP of Sales for Startups in the early stage. From Steve's Fast Company article:
- Comfortable with learning and discovery.
- Trying to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.
- Agile enough to deal with daily change, operating without a map.
- (My Favorite!) With Self-Confidence to celebrate failure when it leads to iteration and Pivots.
So in a way, for me the phone call while (to put it bluntly I was rebuffed) not what I wanted to hear was exactly what I, and (using step four) needed to Hear! Confident to know that the next referral for my services will be met with someone not only familiar with Steven Blank but with (perhaps) the current pain of cash burn-ing and other pains that cry out for help!

Jan. 25, 1965 - $350,000 is budgeted for local harbor: Deepening of Green Bay's harbor is one of 37 new Army Corps of Engineers navigation construction starts throughout the country recommended today in President Johnson's budget.
The proposed budget lists $350,000 for an actual start after July 1 on the $4 million dredging project. The 10-mile-long harbor entrance channel in Green bay will be deepened from 22 to 26 feet. The end of the Fox River channel through the city will be dredged to 24 feet.
In all, President Johnson recommended a $6,570,000 appropriation for the Army Engineers to plan, build and operate flood control and navigation projects in Wisconsin.
Other Wisconsin construction projects listed are Kewaunee Harbor, Milwaukee Harbor, Saxon Harbor, and Eau Galle River. Maintenance funds budgeted for present harbor improvements include: Ashland, Big Suamico, Cornucopia, Kenosha, Manitowoc, Pensaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan ship canal, and Two Rivers.

|Dorsal wrist synovectomy in rheumatoid arthritis--a long-term study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6643959 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Dorsal wrist synovectomy, tenosynovectomy of the extensor tendons, excision of the distal ulna, ulnar-side stabilization of the wrist, and placement of the extensor retinaculum underneath the extensor tendons is an effective procedure in wrists with rheumatoid arthritis. Twenty-seven patients who had surgery on 38 wrists were followed for 5 to 14 years, with an average of 7.4 years. There were 25 female and two male patients with an average age of 54 years. Over 95% had excellent pain relief. There was significant reduction of wrist motion, but the arc of motion was within a functional range. Subsequent tendon rupture was minimal and even tendons found to be thinned out at the time of surgery remained intact. There was no recurrence of synovitis. Carpal measurements were done by using the pisiform bone as a reference point. The carpal height was maintained in 70% of the wrists. Carpal translocation occurred in 44% of the wrists. Three patients required wrist arthrodesis, and five, arthroplasty. Carpal collapse and translocation could not be predicted by preoperative x-rays. Progressive carpal collapse was associated with increasing ulnar deviation of fingers. Progression of carpal collapse and ulnar translocation occurred in a linear fashion with the years of follow-up.

HENDERSON, Ky. (AP) - Fire investigators say they have found no sign of arson in a blaze that killed 27 horses at a thoroughbred training facility in western Kentucky.
The state fire marshal's office said Friday that the cause of the fire at Riverside Downs is undetermined, but it does not appear suspicious.
Deputy state fire marshal Chris Pentecost said damage to the barn made it impossible to determine an exact cause. He said the fire originated near an electrical panel.
The pre-dawn blaze Thursday was the second deadly fire at the former racetrack, which is outside Henderson, near the Indiana border.
In January, six horses died in a fire that was blamed on a vending machine electrical cord.
