Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty is getting a lot of heat right now for being homophobic. But we have absolutely undeniable proof that he's NOT homophobic. And that proof is that he was willing to be in this flamboyant remake of the opening credits to Dynasty!
Why would a homophobe agree to be in a soap opera sketch? That's right, he wouldn't.
Case closed.

California Hospitals Must Now Report Infection Rates, Thanks To One Mother's Crusade
Categories: Doctor's Orders
|Carole Moss
|Nile Moss, who died in 2006 from a hospital-acquired infection
Shortly after, he died.
When test results finally came back, it was found that Nile had MRSA, or Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, an infection that kills nearly 100,000 people each year. He had contracted it days earlier during his hospital tests.
The infection could have been prevented, his mother, Carole Moss, believes. That's why she launched a one-woman crusade to ensure that hospitals are held accountable.
She had a major victory last week as California health officials released the first statewide report on hospital-acquired infections. The report stems from "Nile's Law," legislation that Moss fought to pass that requires facilities to report hospital-acquired infection rates and screen high-risk patients for MRSA.
"Hospitals are not safe," says Moss, who now lives in Riverside County. "You could get an infection from touching a poll or curtain or bedrail. Had I known these kinds of deadly bacteria are lurking around in all these different places, I would have acted completely differently. Had I known the size of the epidemic and that it looks just like the flu, I would have said, 'I'm gonna have him tested for MRSA.' It's a $20 test--big deal."
California is now one of at least 27 states to require hospital-by-hospital infection rates. However, there are some flaws in the data; some hospitals failed to report information and not all hospitals used the same criteria in their reporting.
Still, it's a step in the right direction, Moss believes.
"This massive epidemic has been hidden for decades," she says. "We're finally seeing what we can do to eliminate it."

Photos: 10 things you might not know about Dallas Mavericks point guard Darren Collison
Photo: Jeff Gross/Getty Images
Collison will be seeing a lot of his old college teammate Russell Westbrook this season and will have the tough task of guarding two-time NBA All-Star. The Mavs and Oklahoma Thunder seem to be developing a nice little rivalry, which means Collison will have to put their friendship aside and play physical defense. At UCLA, the duo combined to lead the Bruins to the Final 4 in 2008.

Hello!! My husband and I are thinking of trying for bab #3, but everytime we talk about it we think it's too soon, then the next day we want to start trying asap. Here's the story-
My oldest is 3 1/2, and my youngest just turn two, they're 15 months apart, i'm just looking for advice... Obviously they are very close in age, so I just worry to have too much of a gap between them and the third baby... or do I want to wait until they're in school and then start trying?
I guess what i'm asking is.. how old are your kids if your TTC??

I try not to wait ntil I'm ravenous to eat. This works for me.
eating smaller meals more frequently
I eat a small snack or meal every 2-3 hours without exceeding my caloric limit for the day. I'm never hungry so I'm not tempted to over-eat. It was hard to get used to the smaller more frequent meals because I felt self-conscious as an over-weight person eating frequently and because I always have associated dieting with deprivation. Once I realized the impact this was having on my success, I got over the self-conscious feelings and got rid of the guilt.
I do best when I eat 5-6 small meals every 3-4 hrs. I make sure that these snacks have plenty of protien and contain some kind of fruit or vegetables. My top two favorites include: non-fat greek yogart with fresh berries; 1 serving of hummus with sliced red peppers and carrots.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for St. Louis Health Equipment Lending Program, Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA
As a Board member and volunteer at St. Louis HELP, I've seen firsthand how this simple program can make significant differences in the lives of the uninsured of the greater St. Louis community. Program participants come to HELP after worrying and stressing over their health situation, expecting more bureaucratic obstacles. They leave relieved and comforted with useful medical equipment and aids for themselves and their caregivers - all at no cost, no deposit, and no hassle!
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Wonderful. Very dedicated and giving.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Expand this program into other communities...
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Candidates must be law graduates who have demonstrated academic excellence. The law degree of each candidate must comply with the doctoral admission requirements of the Law Faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich (LMU). Basic command of the German language is therefore required. Candidates should also express an explicit interest in social law. To conduct research in the area of comparative law, each candidate should possess a good command of the language(s) spoken in the country or countries upon which his or her research will focus.
We offer attractive working conditions in a modern, well-equipped institute with a global network. Our institute hosts the world's largest social law library and is located in the immediate vicinity of LMU and the Bavarian State Library. Successful candidates will receive a scholarship or a contract to finance their doctoral research projects.
The positions are to be filled at the earliest possible date and for the duration of two years with the possibility of extending.
The Max Planck Society would like to increase the percentage of women in areas where they are underrepresented. Women are therefore explicitly invited to apply. Preference will also be given to severely disabled applicants with equivalent qualifications.
For further information please contact Mrs. Britta Drentwett or Mrs. Verena Lackinger (+49-89-38602-511 or: firstname.lastname@example.com).

The LERA Program Committee has issued a call for symposia proposals (and papers) for stimulating, creative, and controversial symposia related to this theme as well as other proposals that deal with topics of current interest and the mission of the Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA). We encourage submissions from the perspectives of multiple disciplines – including but not limited to economics, sociology, political science, labor and employment law, industrial relations, and human resource studies – and the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including investors, managers, workers and unions. Session proposals for only academic symposia will be considered. We especially encourage submissions from researchers whose academic appointment or research interests are best served by attendance at the ASSA. To submit an online proposal and to get complete information, visit the LERA website at: http://www.leraweb.org/2016-call-for-papers Those wishing to submit single papers rather than sessions are welcome to submit those as well, and details can be found online at the page listed above. Younger academics and researchers engaged in applied research are also specially encouraged to submit. Proposals must be submitted or reach the LERA Office no later than March 9, 2015. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
Program Committee: Sanford Jacoby, Co-Chair, University of California, Los Angeles; Elaine McCrate, Co-Chair, University of Vermont; Katharine Abraham, University of Maryland; Randy Albelda, University of Massachusetts Boston; Sylvia Allegretto, University of California, Berkeley; Dale Belman, Michigan State University; Teresa Ghilarducci, The New School for Social Research; Larry Mishel, Economic Policy Institute; Bill Rodgers, Rutgers University; Jesse Rothstein, University of California, Berkeley; Jeannette Wicks-Lim, University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
In keeping with the aims pursued by the Association to promote the exchange of opinions and closer ties between labor law experts from different countries, Lavoro e Diritto (Italy), together with the Revue de Droit Comparé du Travail et de la Sécurité Sociale (France), have decided to start an annual overview to address the essential aspects of the issues that occupied a sizeable proportion of the essays appeared in the course the year in the 23 journals belonging to the Association. The English version is published in the English Electronic Edition of Revue de Droit Comparé du Travail et de la Sécurité Sociale at the following website.
In addition to receiving printed volumes, all subscribers are given a subscriber's passcode as a benefit of subscription.
In 2013, the Comparative Labor Law and Policy Journal announced a program that provides participating organizations with a passcode that allows their members to have electronic access to all past and current articles. Participating in this membership benefit program thus far are:
Organizations interested in participation should contact the Journal's Managing Editor, Gita DeLeon, at email@example.com.
The Labor Law Research Network (LLRN), established in 2011, is comprised of forty-six research centers from all over the world dedicated to the study of labor law. One of the objectives of the LLRN is to hold bi-annual international conferences that will be entirely academic (dedicated to the presentation and discussion of original papers); entirely about labor law (broadly conceived); and will allow cutting-edge topics to surface from the participating scholars themselves, in a nonhierarchical way.
Each conference is organized by a different research center from among the LLRN members. The inaugural LLRN conference was held on June 2013 at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. The second conference is to be held on June 25–27, 2015 and will be organized by the Hugo Sinzheimer Institute (HSI) at the University of Amsterdam.
Proposals are welcome on any topic related to labor/employment law, broadly conceived. To give an impression of the sort of topics especially invited and to assist us in building the program later on, we have defined five specific conference tracks. However, these are not exhaustive or exclusionary; therefore, the organizing committee also welcomes proposals on alternative topics and themes which will be accommodated in the general conference track.
With this track we want to emphasize that the conference is not limited to the below mentioned track themes, hence it is open to a variety of research in the wider field of labor/employment law.
Paper abstract: Scholars interested in presenting papers at the conference are invited to submit an abstract of up to 500 words. Please include a title, your name and affiliation, and contact information. Proposals will be subject to peer-review by the organizing committees.
Panel session: Scholars are also welcome to submit proposals for full panel sessions, which include 4 papers or 3 papers and a discussant. Such proposals should be submitted by the convener of the panel (who can also serve as the chair), and include abstracts of all proposed papers as well as a short integrative statement explaining the theme of the panel (all in one document).
Author meets reader panel: Scholars who wish to organize a discussion around a recent important labor law book are invited to propose a panel with 3–4 discussants and the author as a respondent. Proposals for this panel do not require abstracts, just a short explanation of the book's importance and brief biographies of the discussants who agreed to take part.
Book presentation: Scholars who recently published a book around an important labor law issue are invited to propose a panel with 3–4 authors and a discussant not involved with the book. Proposals for a book presentation do not require abstracts, just a short explanation of the book's importance, brief biographies of the participating authors and the discussant.
Research Centers Showcase Panel: Labor law research centers are invited to propose sessions in which their research projects are be presented and discussed. The exact plan for such a panel is open for discussion with the international organizing committee.
All proposals are to be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please indicate for which track you are submitting your proposal.
Important Dates

Please let me know.

I'd be tentatively interested in getting some of that paper, maybe to help defer some of your expense danube?
By some I mean no more than an amount roughly equivalent to a box of 25 8x10's, but I realize it's in rolls and that certainly does add some hassle, and my interest doesn't represent a substantial proportion of the roll.
IDK... there are a couple things that would be interesting to test this paper for. Namely it's suitability for carbro, and then generally how it responds to color negatives. One can imagine where I'm going with this....

Hi folks,
Simon: Could you shed some light on my first question, namely, will Ilfospeed digital "print out" in direct sunlight in a similar fashion to Ilford MG IV?
(on a related note, does anyone know of a COLOR paper that will do this, perhaps with some color information left in the image?)
...and on this sad day for the photo industry, many thanks to you and Ilford for making what Kodak no longer does and keeping our hobbies and professions alive!
Bob: Thanks, pearl would work. I think pearl is what I am using now. How much would you part with a roll for, and what does it weigh?
Holmburgers: I'm going to have to figure out how to slice it up myself into 8x10s or smaller without losing fingers or limbs, so no problem cutting some down, but I might ask you to send me some surplus 8x10 print paper boxes if you have.
Thanks for the consideration Dan, keep me updated if you end up going that route.
It'll be interesting to see what Simon says, but any silver-halide material should exhibit some kind of printing out effect.

Jonah's Disobedience
1Now the word of the Lord came to #2 Kin. 14:25Matt. 12:39–41|NoBook| 16:4Luke 11:293032Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2"Arise, go to #Is. 37:37Nineveh, that #Gen. 10:11122 Kin. 19:36Jon. 4:11Nah. 1:1Zeph. 2:13great city, and cry out against it; for #Gen. 18:20Hos. 7:2their wickedness has come up before Me." 3But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to #Josh. 19:462 Chr. 2:16Ezra 3:7Acts 9:3643Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to #Is. 23:1Tarshish #Gen. 4:16Job 1:12Job 2:7from the presence of the Lord.
The Storm at Sea
4But #Ps. 107:25the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
5Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down #1 Sam. 24:3into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
6So the captain came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, #Ps. 107:28call on your God; #Joel 2:14perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish."
7And they said to one another, "Come, let us #Josh. 7:141 Sam. 14:4142Prov. 16:33cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8Then they said to him, #Josh. 7:191 Sam. 14:43"Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?"
9So he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, #(Neh. 9:6)Ps. 146:6Acts 17:24who made the sea and the dry land."
Jonah Thrown into the Sea
10Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "Why have you done this?" For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. 11Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?"—for the sea was growing more tempestuous.
12And he said to them, #John 11:50"Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me."
13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, #(Prov. 21:30)but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them. 14Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said, "We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man's life, and #Deut. 21:8do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, #Ps. 115:3(Dan. 4:35)have done as it pleased You." 15So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, #(Ps. 89:9|NoBook| 107:29)Luke 8:24and the sea ceased from its raging. 16Then the men #Mark 4:41Acts 5:11feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows.
Jonah's Prayer and Deliverance
17Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And #(Matt. 12:40Luke 11:30)Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Why is DC so far behind Marvel in terms of movies?

Re: Why is DC so far behind Marvel in terms of movies?
The Overlord wrote:
See the problem I have with that is, with the Hulk TV show is, they hardly had any characters from the comics in that show.
Well, yes, that's my point. It wasn't like the comics in any way -- in fact, other than the recent Mark Valley
Human (Standing Next to the) Target
, I can't think of a single comic-book adaptation that had less in common with the source material -- yet it's beloved by many Hulk fans to this day because it was, quite simply, a good show in its own right. Fidelity to the source, in terms of action or visuals or anything else, is nice, but its absence can be forgiven if the show is just plain well-written. People try to concoct so many explanations for what factors make a show succeed or fail, but they're overlooking the simple and obvious answer: good writing, good acting, a talented staff. As long as you have those, the rest is negotiable.
I want the character stuff and the fantastical elements, if a TV show can't deliver that, then I don't care about it.
But you don't need special effects to do fantasy. A lot of good fantasy stories have been told simply through ideas and situations. You know why the original
Star Trek
had so many stories about telekinetics and godlike beings? Because it doesn't cost much money to have one actor hold out his hand and another pretend to be thrown across the room or strangled or rendered unable to speak. The story about Captain Kirk being split into two people? Sure, there were a few split-screen shots, but mostly the story was told through discussion and character interaction, the "effect" of the split conveyed through performance. SF and fantasy are about ideas, not just spectacle.
I think the Ang Lee Hulk failed because it was an overwrought character piece, that lacked some of the fun elements from the comics. I preferred the second Hulk film, which still had the character stuff, but had more of fun and fantastical elements from the comics.
Perhaps, but another problem with the Lee film was that it overdid the visual spectacle, with the overly literal comic-panel effects that were a constant distraction and just too cutesy for the film's own good. More FX doesn't automatically equal a better story.
Really frankly most live action TV shows based on super heroes have not impressed me period, most of the villains on the Flash TV show were made up or pretty bare bones version of their comic book selves.
At first the network didn't allow any supervillains at all; it wasn't until the second half of the season that the producers were given the freedom to use them. And Mark Hamill's Trickster is very well regarded; it was the prototype for his Joker from
Batman: TAS
(and Corinne Bohrer's Prank from the season finale may have been a prototype Harley Quinn of sorts).
Lets not get into the bad production values of Birds of Prey.
Which was on the same network as
and thus, again, had a much smaller budget to work with than a show on ABC or FOX would have. It's nonsense to make a blanket generalization about all TV based on those examples.
Although I recenty rewatched BoP, and I didn't have much problem with the production values. Their digital cityscape of New Gotham was very impressive for the day. True, the production had a very stagey, artificial feel, but that was evidently intentional, since this was pre-Nolan and the show took its design and visual cues from the fanciful Burton and Schumacher films.
We don't live in Japan, they have more a boarder spectrum of animation then we do. Maybe the animation age ghetto will change in the future, kids animation seems to get away with more now then when I was a kid, but its here for now.
But by now, we should have people who grew up on B:TAS and
and the like becoming decision-makers in the industry. So they should know better than to assume animation is just for kids. This should already
the future in which that's starting to change.

Welcome to the Series Finale of Knight Rider. No, that's not official, but it may as well be. Counseling will be made available to those in denial. Okay, it won't. Part of me might actually miss Knight Rider, because making fun of it has been such a blast. Nevertheless, it's over. I probably should have taped plastic up like they do in the locker rooms of playoff teams about to clinch the title. That way I can keep the champagne spray off my A/V receiver.

I wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgivng while I have a chance.
DH has had to go to physical therapy everyday this week and I have to do it with him at home 2 to 3 times a day. Therapy will be closed now until MOnday so I have to do more therapy than normal with him, it takes a huge bite out of my day. He has a low pain tolerance and therapy is not working so well. There is not much that can be done for the next 4 weeks. All therapy is passive, he is not able to move the shoulder joint himself, yet.
Trying to get things for tomorrow's dinner done a little at a time so I don't get over loaded tomorrow. We are having the meal in the evening. My daughter is coming over tonight to help me with some things.
Haven't had a chance to read all that is going on here. Hang in there, Tate, I know it is a heartbreaking time for you.
Little Audrey looks like her momma, I think.
Off to get ready to take my man to therapy.

Thermador DWHD410GFM Dishwasher
Known primarily for its cooktops and ovens, Thermador also puts out a good dishwasher. The DWHD410GFM is a stainless-steel beauty that resists fingerprints and turned in a strong cleaning performance, particularly on our grimy cookware. It also has superior drying, (not to mention an extra-dry feature). The sliding detergent dispenser door takes getting used to however, and this model is not as quiet as others we tested. Also, we found the small bottom rack somewhat hard to load.
Manufacturer's Warranty: Two-year parts and labor; five-year limited on electronics and dish racks; limited lifetime against stainless steel rust through
Reviewed: November 2010
Price When Reviewed: $1049.00
- Very good cleaning performance, especially on cookware
- Excellent drying performance
- Very helpful customer service
- Bottom rack was small and somewhat difficult to load
- Detergent dispenser difficult to close and rinse aid dispenser had no fill gauge
- Less quiet than others in this price range

The Goldilocks Asahi-Pentax and later, modern take, Pentax 67 bodies are very difficult repair jobs. Inside these behemoths is a lot like a watch and just as tiny. A heavy drop will dislodge, unlink or misalign all the business in there and it is very, very time consuming to track it down, which is why so many repair shops say they have fixed it but yet lack the tenacity to go really deep down, irrespective of the cost of doing so. The shutter dial speeds are controlled by resistors. It's a known fact that keeping the shutter cocked for an extended period of time will make shutter speeds inaccurate.
You would be paying a fortune for labour, not parts: inside are lengths of wire, resistors, a solitary capacitor, hundreds of springs, pawls, clips, cogs, gears and pulleys — all harking back to literally the horse and buggy era! The only concession to modern electronics is the little red LED on the top cover. The shutter and mriror operate by way of solenoids and magnets exchanging power through a rudimentary circuit of contacts all coming back to the the shutter speed dial. Mirror and shutter magnets will expectedly 'lose their grip', so to speak, over many years and thousands and thousands of exposures (there is a very vulnerable and known problematic magnet directly under the shutter button that often required deguassing). There are no integrated circuits or fancy electronics, just good old clockwork on a small and complex scale (a good reason why it's not DIY ). Pentax itself does not offer a repair service for any 67 bodies partly because such a repair would most likely well exceed the cost of the camera itself, but also that no spare parts in back inventory are available — they would have to be cannabalised from another 67 body. So... a 67 body playing up will essentially have to remain like that until you come across another as a replacement. It's all very gloomy and it's what I keep in mind with my own: the reality is these cameras are now very old and many, many will require repair quite extensive repairs at some stage.

I do have, and usually carry, extra batteries with my camera bag, but this time I was caught off guard, and left most of my things at home... I think I'm going to risk a leningrad meter, for under 10 bucks, and see how that goes.
People, keep in mind that I'm a cheap bastard. I use surplus film, on used cameras, and develop in diafine just because I can re-use it a lot. I can't help it, its genetic.
Thanks for the magnet advice, though.

Reading information on solar technology can teach you all about how to save money on your monthly power bills within California. With the economy not doing well, many people are trying to do whatever they can to lower the cost of their monthly bills so that they can spread out their budget. It is important to keep in mind that quick fixes like using less electricity might help for now, but in the long run, they will not do much to fix the problem. If you really want to save some money not only right this second, but over a very long period of time, you should change the way that you generate your electricity altogether.
You can learn more about the advantages of solar energy by looking at information that is published in magazines, newspapers, and the Internet. One of the most interesting things to learn is exactly how you can save money on your power bill every month by converting your home to solar energy. When you install solar panels on your roof, you will be enabling yourself to make your own energy. You will not have to rely on another energy source being sent into your home. This way, you won't have to pay your power company astronomical fees.
If you live in a sunny area such as the southwest, solar energy is truly ideal. However, if you do not live in a place where there is constant sunlight, you can still benefit from solar energy. Advancements have been made in solar power over the years that allow people who live in less sunny areas to still draw enough energy from solar panels to power at least part of their house or residence. If you cannot make enough energy from solar panels alone, you can switch back over to a power company to make up the difference. Even if you can't completely remove the power company from your life, you can still save a lot of money by using them less.
If you call a professional, he or she will also tell you how solar panels can make a difference in helping the environment. If we want to make sure that we are keeping our planet a healthy place to live now and into the future, then we need to make sure that we do what we can right now to clean up the environment before it is too late. To do your part, you should invest in solar energy right away.

Hosting servers generally do not have Visual Studio 2010 or Silverlight SDK installed, this might be a blocker for some hosting companies.
The RIAServices msi now has a command line override, especially for hosters. The msi is now configured to take a "Server" command line parameter that will only check for .NET Framework 4.0. The command line parameter will install all the RIA Services server assemblies.
Here is how to use this option:-
1: msiexec /i RIAServices.msi SERVER=true
Using this option will do the following, install the server assemblies along with adding them to the Global assembly cache and to the native cache (ngen).
Keep in mind, using this option will not install any of the Silverlight or Tooling components.
BTW here are some of the hosters that will be supporting RIA Services:-
DiscountASP - http://labs.discountasp.net/
OrcsWeb - http://vs2010host.com/
ASPHostCentral - http://asphostcentral.com/
When i try to run msiexec /i RiaServices.msi /SERVER=true i get presented with the command line options help window and it doesn't go from there.
Thank you
Thanks Paulo, there was a slight typo and i have corrected it .
It now works, thank you... I was quiet dumb to try SERVER=true inside [ ]... duh......
I think it's absolute imperative to make easy deploy to shared hosting provider! If it's part of WCF, i don't understand why it has to have separate installation procedure?
For me as developer, installation of additional MS Framework is not an option, as long there's is full and latest version .net framework!
The company that I need to install RIA Services for will not allow VS2010 to be installed on their server. Is that a deal breaker for deploying RIA Services? i.e. Is it true that I cannot deploy RIA Services without VS2010 installed on the server?
Thanks for your help.............Les Prigmore
Another host that fully support RIA is Bizhostnet - http://bizhostnet.com/
The only problem encountered was to remove Basic Authentication and leave only Anonymous Authentication. Not clear why if both authentication are allowed - it will not work.
@Les - you can install RIA Services without VS. The post above describes that. Else you can Bin deploy and dont have to worry about the installation.
There are many provider supports SL4. I have hosted my site with http://www.asphostportal.com. So far, they are very good and have good support.

ANAHEIM Bruno, the police dog wounded in a March shooting, will be retired after he returns home today.
The 7-year-old German shepherd has been recovering at the Yorba Regional Animal Hospital since March 20, when a man fleeing arrest shot at police. Bruno was struck by gunfire, with a bullet lodging in his chest and shattering his jaw. Police returned fire, killing the man.
Today, the dog will return home to his human partner, Officer R.J. Young, after weeks of recovery from several surgeries. He will be retired from the Anaheim Police Department's K-9 unit.
"Bruno is a member of our family, and we're always excited when one of our family members can go home and continue their recovery," said Sgt. Bob Dunn, a spokesman for Anaheim police.
Anaheim will sell Bruno to Young for $1 after a retirement ceremony at a future City Council meeting, Dunn said, a practice typical for police agencies handing off a retired police dog to its handler.
Maria Fahie, the veterinary surgeon who performed emergency surgery on Bruno, installed two stainless-steel plates to hold Bruno's jaw together, said Steve Dunbar, owner of Yorba Regional Animal Hospital.
"They'll probably stay in as long as he doesn't have a problem," Dunbar said.
Bruno can eat and drink on his own now, which was challenging when his jaw was held together by an external fixator, a device that looks like old-fashioned orthodontic headgear.
Bruno is able to go home because he's not in danger of further damaging his jaw by bumping into things; however, he is not completely recovered, Dunbar said.
When police dogs train, they're instructed to bite down and not let go despite being shaken back and forth, he added.
"This would not be a good thing for him because his bones have not entirely healed," Dunbar said.
Anaheim police plan to hold a news conference today at the animal hospital to discuss Bruno's retirement.
The Yorba Regional Animal Hospital is working with Young to host a public retirement party for Bruno at a local park in the next couple of weeks to thank the community for its concern and support for the police dog's recovery, Dunbar said.

Strike up a conversation with Rob McCoury, and it won't take long for you to realize that you've met one of the most easygoing musicians around—a guy who's happy to chat with just about anyone on just about anything, or to just quietly watch and enjoy what's going on around him. When he puts on his banjo picks, though, it's another story. "My first love will always be traditional bluegrass," he says with a smile. "When it's right, there's just nothing better. I love the simplicity of being able to take four or five guys, get 'em out, tune 'em up and play." And when that happens, watch out, because in Rob McCoury's hands, the banjo becomes just what the title of his album says: a five-string flamethrower.
Though The 5-String Flamethrower is McCoury's first solo album, he's hardly a newcomer. Indeed, there are only a few banjo players today who have been heard by as many audiences. As a member of the award-winning Del McCoury Band and its second-generation alter ego, the Travelin' McCourys, he's a gold-plated member of bluegrass music's royalty. But while he cheerfully confesses that he'd been thinking about it for years—and laughingly adds that it took almost two years from start to finish—Rob was in no hurry to get the job done. And when he did, he made an album that seems likely to put an end to his status as the most under-appreciated yet highly visible banjo players around—and to do it, characteristically, by paying tribute to his banjo heroes, including his own father.
The tribute—though not the record itself—begins, logically enough, with Earl Scruggs, the player who started it all. McCoury blisters his "Foggy Mountain Chimes," but also nods in his direction again by dishing up a relaxed version of "John Henry" that, like Scruggs', is played out of the rarely-used D tuning. "Foggy Mountain Banjo is arguably the greatest banjo record ever made," he says, "and Earl had a variety of stuff on there—'Home Sweet Home' in C tuning, and 'John Henry' in D. It's one of the things that made him so great."
Others to make the cut include Don Reno, who turns out to be one of the best-represented of the bunch with "Charlotte Breakdown," "Banjo Riff" and, perhaps most memorably, "Feudin' Banjos." "When I started writing down all these tunes," Rob says, "I kind of surprised myself. I looked the list over, and I spotted a lot of Don Reno tunes. Well, when you're playing stuff a lot, you don't always pay attention to where you might have learned it from, but I looked at that list and thought, I'm putting some Don Reno tunes on here. As a kid, it was Earl all the way, but as I got a little older and I started hearing these great Reno & Smiley records, I thought, some of that is the coolest thing I've ever heard."
The legendary Sonny Osborne shows up, too, both figuratively and literally, as Rob both recorded his "Siempre" (with brother Bobby Osborne on hand) along with the previously unrecorded "Jericho," and momentarily enticed Sonny out of retirement to lay down the opening to "We Could." So do recent Hall of Fame entrant J. D. Crowe ("Blackjack"), banjo buddy Larry Perkins ("Northwest Passage") and another under-appreciated giant, Walter Hensley ("Sugar Creek").
But while The 5-String Flamethrower puts Rob's banjo front and center, it doesn't neglect the other side of the banjo's role in a bluegrass band—accompanying the vocals that lie at the music's heart. Here, too, McCoury looks to his heroes—and again, his dad makes the list. Del's rendition of "I've Lost You" serves to highlight Rob's understanding of the lessons Scruggs taught in this regard, while "We Could," sung by Bobby Osborne, not only drives home his mastery of them, but features his own vocal contribution, and does it on a song that's near to his heart—the one played at his wedding to wife Lisa years ago.
"It's crazy to have so many of my heroes in my address book," Rob says, but while he may have gotten his introduction to them through his dad, his attitude—a unique combination of respect, friendliness and eagerness to learn—has turned the introductions into lasting friendships that give him a unique perspective. Indeed, whether he's having a cup of coffee with Sonny or hanging out backstage with the likes of the guys in Leftover Salmon, the String Cheese Incident or with Keller Williams, Rob's the same guy, one of just a handful equally at home in the center of bluegrass or out on its edges.
"I used every cut we recorded on this album," Rob McCoury notes, and while that's a little unusual—artists frequently "over-cut," then pare down to the best of the bunch for the final selection—it's typical of his no-nonsense approach, and emblematic of the justified confidence he has in his ability, and in the ability of his colleagues in the Del McCoury Band, to deliver. There are a lot of banjo players out there these days, but there's only one Rob McCoury, and when he calls his banjo The 5-String Flamethrower, well, it lets you know exactly what you're going to get.
Del at 75!
Del doesn't take his job, his good health, or his fans for granted. So in 2014, he's gonna celebrate his 75th birthday by doing things a little differently. The festivals you see on the below map have been among his biggest supporters, this time around, he'll be spending a couple days at each one – and he's inviting you to come celebrate and spend some time with him. One of Del's favorite things at Delfest has been to get on the golf cart, ride through the fairgrounds and just hang out with the fans. That interaction has inspired this idea, and we hope you'll come wish him a Happy Birthday with us. Let's celebrate Del being Del !
Del McCoury Band and Bloody Sunday Sessions release video
Last year, while in New Orleans, we had a chance to get "behind the mule" with Bloody Sunday Session. We loaded up the horse drawn carriage with all band members and instruments and played our way down the street ultimately causing a bit of a traffic jam. We had a lot of fun and we're excited to release the video today! Check it out!
Bloody Sunday Session – Del McCoury Band
Del McCoury was already hard at work in Baltimore's lively bluegrass music scene when the very first Grammy awards were presented more than 50 years ago, but you couldn't tell it from the way he bounded up the steps to thank the Grammy voters for honoring his Del McCoury Band's The Streets of Baltimore at Sunday's glittering awards show. The trophy marked the group's second 21st century Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album (as well as Del's 10th nomination total), and for the silver-haired McCoury, who turns 75 in just a few days, it's an especially sweet one.
"That's really where I got my start, you know," he says of the gritty, hard-working harbor town that provides the setting for the title track, an early '60s hit for country legend Bobby Bare around the time that McCoury left his nearby Pennsylvania home for a stint with the father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. "There were some great bands, and some great characters, that were working in the clubs those days, and I learned a lot about how to play this music from playing with them. Back then," he adds, with his characteristic chuckle, "You could get anything you needed down there—and a lot of things you didn't need, too!"
Yet while The Streets Of Baltimore was inspired by the milieu in which McCoury first honed the craft that would eventually lead him to worldwide acclaim as bluegrass music's most genial—and most admired—ambassador, it's hardly an exercise in nostalgia. To be sure, there are some songs like the title track that cast a backward glance, but the project is filled, too, with new contributions from masters like Larry Cordle, Shawn Camp and Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson. It's all part of what helps keep Del and his band—sons Ronnie and Rob McCoury, fiddler Jason Carter and bass man Alan Bartram—not just among the most respected of bluegrass artists, but also among the music's coolest.
"It really makes me feel good to see all the younger talent coming up in bluegrass," Del notes. "You know, it was kind of an honor just to be nominated with all these great musicians; a lot of them weren't even born when I was working back in Baltimore. It really keeps me on my toes to be out there with them. I think the music's in as good a shape as it's ever been, and I'm just thrilled to still be right in the middle of it all."
Indeed, the McCoury group converged on the Grammy ceremony from several directions, as the younger members flew in from Georgia, where they've been touring with jamgrass favorites, the Yonder Mountain String Band. And sure enough, they're heading back out on the road just as soon as they've caught their collective breath. "I am truly grateful for this Grammy award," Del says with a laugh, "but you know, we've still got some shows to do!"
Del McCoury Band announce involvement in "There's A World of Song" to benefit Music Lab
Music Lab at Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Va. today announced the release of the There's A World of Song single, available Friday, Jan. 24, on iTunes, Amazon, Google Music, Shazam, and more.

The single was recorded and produced inside Jefferson Center's professional recording studio and arts education hub, Music Lab. All sales proceeds benefit Jefferson Center's efforts to make music education available at the Music Lab to teens in grades 6-12 who want to learn music production, recording, performance, and all the basics of the music business.
Jefferson Center's Executive Director, Cyrus Pace said, "There's World of Song focused on building an original Darrell Scott song using voices from around our community and throughout the nation. We are honored that it showcases the collaboration and creative processes happening between artists from all over the world and students right here in Jefferson Center's Music Lab."
"Jefferson Center and its Music Lab are one of the most impressive music education programs available in the U.S. today," said Darrell Scott. "It was important to find a way to help Music Lab grow in both education and students and I am pleased by the extraordinary group of musicians who said 'yes' when Dylan and I asked for their time and voices."
"We are grateful for the support of artists who have performed at The Jefferson Center in recent years who came together to produce this single. There's a World of Song demonstrates how a simple idea becomes a reality," said Dylan Locke, Artistic Director for The Jefferson Center.

McCoury Music & High Sierra Music announce dates for Delfest 2014
2013 has almost left us, and if we have learned anything this year, it's that time moves fast and DelFest will be here before we know it. We are thrilled to announce the dates for the 7th Annual DelFest in Cumberland, Maryland – Memorial Day Weekend, May 22-25, 2014!
A limited pre-sale of specially discounted 4-day Passes will go on-sale at Noon EST on Tuesday, January 14th. In years past, pre-sale tickets have moved very quickly. The general on-sale, including DELuxe Experience Packages, RV and Parking Passes, Kids Passes, and DelFest Academy will be announced and available shortly thereafter, with a lineup announcement early next year.
DelFest 2014 will once again be held at the beautiful Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD (2.5 hrs from Baltimore and DC). The festival originated from the desire to create a family-friendly music festival with a down home feel that celebrates the rich legacy of McCoury music while creating a forum for world-class musical collaborations as well as showcasing fresh new talent. Produced in association with High Sierra Music, the 7th Annual DelFest will again offer a quality festival experience stamped with the unique McCoury touch. Personally chosen by Del, the Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD serves as the perfect location for DelFest. Nestled along the Potomac River in the scenic Appalachian Mountains, the Fairgrounds are convenient to four major airports and easily reached by rail or road.
In addition to traditional stage sets by world-class artists, attendees can again expect to see one-of-a-kind collaborations, special guest sit-ins, various tributes to Del McCoury and his musical legacy, intimate appearances both at unique "playshops"(informal workshops where the emphasis will be on performance rather than instruction) and in late night indoor performances and picking sessions. DelFest will also include a band competition, with the winners being invited to return for a regular set at the following year's gathering, and for the sixth year, Delfest will be immediately preceded by a 3-day Music Academy hosted by The Travelin' McCourys, where all levels of musicians can learn from some of the best pickers in the world (the Academy will take place the week leading into the festival).
The Streets of Baltimore nominated for a 2013 GRAMMY AWARD
The Streets of Baltimore nominated for a 2013 GRAMMY AWARD, Best Bluegrass Album
The Del McCoury Band has garnered critical acclaim for their latest effort, The Streets of Baltimore and the album was just nominated in the Best Bluegrass Album category for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, which will be airing live on CBS January 26th, 2014. This gives the Del McCoury Band a chance to add a second Grammy to their collection-having won in this same category back in 2005. It also marks Del's tenth Grammy nomination.
It's not hard to see how the new album is shaped by the musical memories acquired and lessons learned starting back in McCoury's Baltimore days. For one thing, as a reminder of how tightly entwined bluegrass and country music were at the time, there's a healthy dose of songs from the country repertoire, including the title track (a 1966 country hit for Bobby Bare), "Too Many Rivers" (a crossover hit for Brenda Lee in 1965 and recorded by dozens of country singers at the time) and "Once More With Feeling," a massive hit for Jerry Lee Lewis that reminds us that McCoury and his band were called on to perform in honor of The Killer's induction into the Rock Hall of Fame a few years ago. And while pop and jazz fans know "Misty" as an entry in the "Great American Songbook," Del and the boys give an affectionate here nod to country singer and humorist Ray Stevens, whose banjo-driven version of the song scraped the top of the country charts nearly 40 years ago.

Mitchell County Highway Named in Honor of Bluegrass Legend Del McCoury
Mitchell County Highway Named in Honor of Bluegrass Legend Del McCoury
October 26th, 2013 Ceremony Planned
Bluegrass legend Del McCoury will become a part of Mitchell County lore when a stretch of Hwy. 261 north of Bakersville bears his name. A ceremony to commemorate the naming of the road will take place on Oct. 26 starting at 9:30 a.m. at Lavonia Crest north of Bakersville.
McCoury, guitarist, a lead vocalist, and leader of the Del McCoury Band, is scheduled to attend the event, as well as North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory. "He is world-famous in bluegrass and has a childhood connection with Mitchell County," said Mitchell County Board of Commissioners Chair Bill Slagle.
McCoury was born in York, Pa., but both his parents and his wife's parents are Mitchell County natives. "Del McCoury has deep roots in WNC," said Mitchell County Chamber Director Shirley Hise. "He is related to a lot of folks here. He is one of the most accomplished and renowned bluegrass musicians in the United States." Hise said McCoury identifies with the community and with the state of North Carolina.
"McCoury's name is synonymous with bluegrass," said Angie Chandler, Executive Director of Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership, which is collaborating with counties in Western North Carolina and the North Carolina Arts Council to develop the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina.
"Our mountains and foothills have a national reputation as a music-rich region, and our traditions of old-time string band music, ballad singing, and bluegrass are internationally renowned," she said. "No other area of the country has had more impact on the development of the banjo as a bluegrass instrument than here in Western North Carolina. Del McCoury has exemplified that musical heritage through his 50-year career, his ability to appeal to younger and older audiences, and his innovation of various musical styles."
McCoury is honored by the attention. He said he has a National Endowment of the Arts National Heritage Fellowship, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and is in the Bluegrass Hall of Fame, but this is something more. "It is a great honor to have a road named after you," he said. "That stands forever."
McCoury said he wished his father were alive to see the highway get named for him.
He himself never lived in Mitchell County, but he did get to visit quite a bit. His father's family was from Glen Ayre and his mother's family was from Buladean.
McCoury traces his musical heritage back to his family. He remembers a tale about his mom's father playing fiddle at the Cloudland Hotel, which was located at the top of Roan Mountain, and said the lore is part of his family heritage. "I've heard my kin folks talk about all those things," he said.
