Inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus syncytium formation and virus replication by castanospermine.
Infectious Disease Unit, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Castanospermine (1,6,7,8-tetrahydroxyoctahydroindolizine) is a plant alkaloid that modifies glycosylation by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase I. Castanospermine is shown to inhibit syncytium formation induced by the envelope glycoprotein of the human immunodeficiency virus and to inhibit viral replication. The decrease in syncytium formation in the presence of castanospermine can be attributed to inhibition of processing of the envelope precursor protein gp160, with resultant decreased cell surface expression of the mature envelope glycoprotein gp120. In addition, castanospermine may cause defects in steps involved in membrane fusion after binding of CD4 antigen. The antiviral effects of castanospermine may be due to modifications of the envelope glycoprotein that affect the ability of the virus to enter cells after attachment to the CD4 cell receptor.

Photos: The last 10 clashes between the Mavericks and Lakers
Photo: Vernon Bryant / Staff photographer
Mavericks 93, Lakers 81 (May 4, 2011 in Los Angeles, Game 2 of Western Conference semifinals): Having already gotten the needed win at the Staples Center, the Mavericks grabbed control of the series by sweeping the Lakers on the road. Dallas led, 51-49, at the half and gradually pulled away in the second half. Four Mavericks, led by Dirk Nowitzki, scored in double figures. Ron Artest's hard foul on J.J. Barea (pictured) was a glimpse of what would come later in the series.

The coalition is working to ensure that school district's works to promote optional plant-based food entrees, healthy snacks, farm-to-school programs and nutrition education to encourage healthier choices.
"This group was formed because we saw there was a huge need to do something about the issue of school food and get involved in it," said Hamlin.
New dietary guidelines from the Federal Govt. in 2005 call for an average of nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day and at least half the grains eaten be whole grains. Getting rid of deep-fried foods, limiting high-sodium foods and foods with high saturated fats, and eliminating trans fatty acids in foods are just some of the coalition's recommendations.
School meals currently have to meet federal regulations consistent with federal dietary guidelines calling for more fiber and less saturated fat.
"Not all schools meet the regulations, and there's not a whole lot of teeth to the regulations," said Hamlin. Hamlin said in 2004, the federal government, through the child nutrition and WIC (women infant and children) re-authorization act, mandated that all schools create a local wellness policy.
The policy called for better nutrition, more exercise for students, and even offering healthier products in vending machines such as 100 percent real juice instead of sugary sodas.
"A lot of schools have very generous guidelines with no teeth, and other schools take the guidelines very seriously," said Hamlin.
The New York State Legislature in 2004 passed their own law mandating districts create a Child Nutrition Advisory Committee. The committee's made up of parents, faculty and school health staff are asked to meet quarterly to study all facets of current school nutritional policies with the overall goal to stop childhood obesity. One key component of the state Legislation is to promote health and proper nutrition through vending machine sales, menus and educational curriculum.

MSNBC is an American basic cable and satellite television network that provides news coverage and political opinion on current events. It is owned by the NBCUniversal News Group, a unit of the NBCUniversal Television Group division of NBCUniversal.
MSNBC and msnbc.com were founded in 1996 as separate partnerships between Microsoft and General Electric's NBC unit, hence the network's naming. Although they shared the same name, msnbc.com and MSNBC maintained separate corporate structures and news operations, with msnbc.com headquartered on the West Coast on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington, and MSNBC in the NBC headquarters in New York. Microsoft divested its stake in the MSNBC channel in 2005, and divested its stake in msnbc.com in July 2012, rebranding the general news site as NBCNews.com and creating a new msnbc.com as the online home of the cable news channel. As of February 2015, approximately 94,531,000 households (81.2% of those with television) receive MSNBC within the United States of America.
Beginning in the mid-2000s, MSNBC's opinion programming increasingly reflected its concept of political liberalism. In October 2010, it publicly acknowledged this with a marketing campaign it called "Lean Forward". Further, in September 2013, MSNBC launched its revamped official website under the tagline, "What Progressives Have Been Waiting For."
Commentators have described MSNBC as having a bias which favored left-wing politics and the Democratic Party. In 2011 Politico referred to MSNBC as "left-leaning." In reference to changes in the channel's evening programming, senior vice president of NBC News Phil Griffin has said that "it happened naturally. There isn't a dogma we're putting through. There is a 'Go for it.'"
For the week of June 9, 2014, MSNBC placed 26th in primetime and 30th in total day, averaging 597,000 viewers and 336,000 viewers, respectively.

Thoughts on the Future of Photo Books (And books in general)
What will Photo Books look like in 2019?
Check out the initiating post over at LiveBooks RESOLVE blog for the back-story of what got me musing on this topic.
The biggest difference in self-publishing is simply a change of perception
One of the biggest innovations happening in regards to Photo books, (and books in general, for that matter) isn't truly an innovation, per se, but simply a dramatic mindset change towards the perception of the self-published project.
Ten to fifteen years ago, self-published works via "Vanity Press" houses were seen, by many, as a self-indulgent act by a creator who simply did not have the skills (or connections) to get a project to market through big publishing. Of course, the skills here refers not necessarily to the the work itself, but more so to writing a successful pitch package to get their work noticed by an agent or an overworked and underpaid project editor in the minute or two they had to review a stack of query packages.
I was pitching a novel around this time, and my rejection letters ran the gamut from coldly impersonal form letter to pompous and arrogant form letter justifying why some editor at a small state college in the high plains deep freeze belt's literary fiction publishing house didn't feel the need to inform and enlighten me as to why my work didn't make this editor's heart "sing." (Somewhere in the cobwebbed minutiae of memories from my past, this letter still resonates as a reminder of the sort of person I never want to become. And the physical letter itself remains in the permanent collection of scraps of paper written by, to, and about me that reside in a crate in my attic.)
But that was then. The changes to communication and information distribution that have sprung forth in the intervening years have significantly re-architected the publishing landscape. It's doubtful many writers and photographers would balk at a six or seven figure advance from one of the publishing giants and true, this remains the holy grail for many a project creator, but shrinking budgets and an eye towards nothing but blockbusters makes it even more challenging to go the mainstream huge-run publishing route. Today, it seems, you've got to be something else first in order to be the creative talent behind a book–a celebrity chef, a musician, an erstwhile (or potential) politician, or a crowdsourced crass humor blogger before landing a deal with a massive advance and huge print run.
But in this current landscape, self-publishing and print-on-demand solutions no longer have the social stigma attached to them as they once did, in many circles. It is quite possible, though challenging, to launch a project and bring it to life without the initial help of big publishing. Witness Aaron Johnson's What the Duck comic strip as a prime example of the new D-I-Y to mainstream workpath driving from a content type on a blog, to a self-published book on Lulu.com, to syndication of the strip via United Press syndicate and a book deal with Andrews McMeel.
Yes, self-publishing is self-promotion–all the same as it ever was–but that's now the theme of the day. As a marketing vehicle, self-published projects–whether it is a photographic project published on archival paper through AdoramaPix, or a work of words-only fiction published by any of the print-on-demand services available, or anything in between–are a great way to build a fan base and potentially create a viable revenue stream for the work.
It is always important to remember that with this self-publishing and self-promotion route, all the rewards–along with all the risks–reside in the creator.
The book as object
There is something so amazingly tactile about a book, in a way that words and images on-screen just isn't. The concept of curling up with my wireless keyboard or a Kindle-type e-reader just isn't the same. Yes, it was a great feeling to get an eBook BoingBoinged, but it didn't compare to the feeling of actually flipping through the pages of my first bound book and seeing it on the shelf with all the other titles in the Photography section at the local Barnes & Noble. There just isn't.
Books–actual books–with pages that must be flipped manually, with static content that doesn't spring to audio-visual life with the click of a right-pointing triangle, are, perhaps, if not wholly now, at least on their way, to becoming an archaic form of content distribution.
But as art objects, books are something spectacular. And books as the central hub or a tangent of a "object/concept" collection across various modalities can be something great. I can lose time in the visuals of BirdBook.org, and the additional audio capture element on each image page in the web-based presentation adds a definite power and presence to Andrew Zuckerman's fantastic images. But those same images reproduced in CMYK halftones on bound pages have a presence that is equally loud, in a very different sense. This is a book I want in my collection. This is an object I wish to possess, to visit and touch, to marvel over, and share and listen to the slight whoosh of air as I turn the next page.
I feel much the same way about the presence of the Slide Show book from Sports Illustrated. Although we are once or twice removed from the actual slides, the concept, layout and design of this book make the physical object itself more powerful a consumption mechanism than any digital representation of the same graphics, words and images of the marked-up slides. This is a book that must be handled to truly appreciate.
Books are limiting, and limited. I, for example, have written, illustrated and published a book on a new imaging technique, high dynamic range imaging, that cannot actually be represented in its true form on the written page, due to ever-shrinking gamut and color spaces from the 32-bit file, to traditional computer monitors, to the CMYK space of the final published product.
I personally relish all the the ironies of this, especially the physical object itself of the hard-covered German translation, HDRI in der Praxis, specifically because it takes that abstract, to me, as a non-German speaker, to yet another level: It's a book about a photographic technique and color space that cannot truly be displayed in printed form, in a language I cannot comprehend in any meaningful or complete way. In my house, this edition is simply an art object produced in part by me, and in part by the team of translators and designers at Dpunkt, Rocky Nook's German publishing partners.
But the book itself can also be the center of an evolving process–the brightest star in a constellation of interrelated and interconnected delivery paths that span time–as opposed to simply the bound and printed object created at a specific point in time. My fellow Rocky Nook writer, Christian Bloch, launched a companion blog, forum, and updater site for his work, the HDRI Handbook, HDRLabs. Kenneth Kobre created a Guide to Videojournalism along with the 6th Edition of his book Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach. And as I work on updating my work for the second edition, I've started a Facebook fan page for updates on shipping and availability, and as a sounding board and workshop zone for me to get input on certain topics as I puzzle over how to describe, in words, concepts that are at the essence mathematical and visual in nature. All these examples fall short of the true crowdsourced concept of books, which I think has some serious potential to explode in popularity over the next decade.
Thoughts on the hardbound book as a product of massive online collaborations
Just a few days ago, I received an invite to join a group-work project employing Facebook status updates as the driving creative process for creating a long-form work of fiction. The core of this currently small group is dispersed widely geographically today, but a nexus is forming and expanding outwards from a group of people who took upper-level English electives at Manasquan High School between 1988 and 1991. This project is in the nascent stages, and it will be quite curious to see how this evolves. I've thrown my hat into the ring to participate for several reasons: I love social experiments, creative writing, new concepts and communication means, and I belong to that nexus. It is a chance, nearly 20 years on, to converse and collaborate with old friends, and make new friends along the way, and see where it may go and what creativity it may lead to.
As anyone who has taken a book from cocktail napkins to publication knows, a book project is a lot of work. There are so many large and small tasks involved in creating a book, that it is amazing that any books ever actually get out of the rough draft stage! But the potential of harnessing the power of many working together towards a common goal of making a book as a collective project can possibly lead to some great things–if all the contributors and stakeholders work together to make it happen, with it agreed that the purpose of the project isn't personal profit.
On that subject I have a charity project concept I would love to take part in.
I would love to see someone take this idea and run with and give it wings. Simply put, I'd love to pair volunteer photographers of all stripes with chefs of all flavors and create a culture of charitable creativity: Chefs giving their recipes and creating the dishes for photographers to capture (both the chefs and the food shots, I mean), with the results uploaded into a predesigned page template for the photos and recipes. This superset of online pages could then be curated and edited into print-on-demand cookbooks–sliced and diced along different themes: regional, desserts, cocktails, vegetarian, barbecue, or what have you, with all the proceeds going to charitable organizations such as foodbanks.
No one would wind up with a six-figure advance in this model, but it would be a great way for chefs and photographers to give back, and gain some great self-promotion along the way.

My grandmother was an avid cross-stitcher. When she died several years ago, we found stacks of pieces she had finished and never done anything with. My mother recently came across them again -- they had been packed into storage -- and she and my sister want me to try to make a quilt out of them.
I know I can't work with the cross-stitch as it is -- the cloth isn't woven tightly enough. What should I mount them to? And how should I mount them? I don't know what to do with the raw edges of the cross-stitch cloth. I'm guessing some type of applique must be in order? But I don't know how to do that, either.
All advice is appreciated...thanks!
------"To love another person is to see the face of God!" ~Les Miserables
I think it depends on whether the cross stitch is fully filled in or if it just has a pattern with areas of exposed mesh. If it is fully covered, then I think you could just treat it as a square of fabric and sew it the same way you would a piece of fabric square. If it is the exposed mess variety, then you might have to applique the piece onto a muslin backing to stop any batting from leaking through. It is a wonderful chance to create something that would be a memory quilt of your grandmother, and a worthy project of finding a solution for doing it. I think I would bind off the edges of the fabric square with at least an overcast stitch or serged edge before I trimmed it to size. Also you are going to have to deal with the skewering of the fabric due to the cross stitching of the pattern. I used to have to block the needlepoint that I did to get rid of the skewering of the finished piece, and sometimes that wasn't enough so I had to mount it to a mounting board and then frame it. I don't know if that is a problem with cross stitch as I have never done any. But it is a part of the needlepoint process, and one that a lot of people hate. I think you should try to find a solution as it would be a wonderful way to remember your grandmother. Maybe a series of wall hangings?
-- Edited on 7/25/08 7:42 PM --
I originally posted this on the quilting board, but the quilters are unusually quiet! Cross-stitch is like embroidery (kinda sorta?) so I thought I'd try here.
I know people use embroidered graphics to embellish garments and tote bags. Can you do the same thing with cross-stitch?
My grandmother was an avid cross-stitcher and after she died we found stacks of finished pieces she never did anything with. I want to make them into a quilt, and ideally make several -- one for my mom, my sister, my aunt, my cousin, and me.
What do I need to mount the piece to so that I can work with it? I know there is a stabilizer used for embroidery pieces but I don't know what it's called, where to find it, how to use it, etc. It is fusible? I'd be afraid to apply heat and steam to the cross-stitch, but I guess if you can do it with embroidery...
Would I then have to applique the cross-stitch to a square of fabric? Can I do that with a regular sewing machine? (My budget isn't embroidery-machine-friendly at this point.)
TIA for any suggestions or insight.
I have seen quilts with cross stitching. What a wonderful way to remember your grandmother. To protect the fabric I would stabilize the cross stitching either by appliqueing or fusing them to a piece of muslin to make the quilt blocks.
Topic merged from Not really embroidery but similar... into Quilting with Cross-Stitch Pieces
ThinkGeek: "E-mail has been around since before computers. At first, e-mails were written on rocks and thrown at neighbors. CC-ing a rock e-mail could be dangerous for an entire village. Then, e-mails were written on paper and put in weird paper things called envelopes and the postal system delivered them. This was slow. Finally, e-mail as we know it came around."
I am a cross stitcher and this is what i would do.First i'd wash each piece in the sink in tepid water and a small drop of dawn dish liquid.Then rinse very well in cool water and roll in a towel.Iron the pieces dry,placing them face down on the towel and iron til dry.Then i iron a piece of fusible midweight INTERFACING to the wrong side of each one.With mine i then pin them to a padded board or the ironing board and leave overnight , making sure they are totally dry.Then you can sew strips of fabric to all the finished edges,do the sides first,then top and bottom.This is called borders.
Here are some directions,and you can also visit 123stitch.com and the gals there will show you some beautiful ones they have made,and also help you along.You do have to register,but it's free.
Here's the link for the directions.
Good luck
Thank you, Kathi! I was starting to think I'm the only person who's ever wanted to use cross stitch in a quilt!
Would you recommend washing the cross stitch even if I don't ever plan on washing the quilt? What about the risk of the colors bleeding? I'm intending them to be more decorative/keepsake quilts than actually being used as a blanket (which is why the baby cousins, who are 4 and 2 1/2, won't get theirs until they're a lot older).
Sorry I never got back here Curlysue,but 2008 and 2009 were not good years for me.Had 2 major surgeries,went thru chemo and all that that entails.I'm doing very well now,and heading to my 5th year cancer free come august.
I read the newsletter everymonth,but havn't been posting,hope to be changing that.
Not sewing as much as I used to,doing more cross stitching these days.
Hope all is well with you and you got that cross stitch washed and put into a quilt,if not,post back and i'll help you out with what to do.
I plan to check In here more often now to see what everyone is doing.
Take care,have a great week.
Kathi, that is good news. Be sure to come here and tell us on your anniversary!!
Thanks barb I will.This seems to be the most popular sewing/quilting board on the net.

Designer Makeup Now at Target
Testers at Target — yes! After popping in the megastore during on a weekend of errand running, I checked out the latest addition to their newly boosted cosmetics section.
Just as Target's GO International line features lower-priced designer fashions, three new collections from top names in the makeup world now line the aisles. Touted as more affordable than the fancy designer counterparts, the designers include JK Jemma Kidd ($14–$36), Napoleon Perdis' NP Set ($12—$30), and Pixi Cosmetics' Pixi ($12—$39).
I'm all for one-stop shopping and bringing designers to the masses. But in this rough economy, will shoppers pay 17 bucks for mascara at Target? To see all of the loot,

Het Folks! i spent thursday Walking around Park Slope, in search of sidewalk space. i'm helping to set up Make Music New York – a yearly festival of outdoor concerts on June twentyfirst. right now restaurants and shop owners, and Musicians and bands can sign up to either have music in front of their store or to play outside on June twentyfirst. i like being the surveyor of a Realm, if only for a few hours.
these people aren't happy when you first walk in with a clip board and a running mouth, but automatic Resistance gives way to skeptical Discernment as they realize that the festival is actually free and i'm not asking for money. then there is excitement and wrappingtheirheadsaroundit conversation.
point is, i'm out there putting Tupelo Honey into our Communal Coffee (and i dont even like coffee). do you like to play outside? then Sign up for june 21st: http://timeoutny.com/makemusic
i'm heading over to the Grand Prize Winners From Last Year show in a bit, and i figured i would take a few minutes to send you all an update. although news has been pretty quiet on the BMAL front, we did just have two new songs come out – Harold Called This Morning and Glistening Girls.
Jarett and i headed upstate a couple of weeks ago to mix the tracks with Rob Ignazio. he has been engineering and co-producing the new tunes. the studio, Quad Lake, was on a large lake, frozen solid, with ice fishers and snow mobiles out on it.
Jarett, Rob, the owner of the studio (Lou), and i were eating pizza on a piano during a break, when Rob casually mentioned that the piano was used by John and Yoko for their albums, by Nora Jones for her first album, and was used to write Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer. and there we were, eating pizza off of it!
well we mushed through the long day with few breaks, Sam conference-called in for his good words, our super-focused ear drums and lobes…and now there is new music. so enjoy it and be in touch.
with this letter, we bring awesome tidings: Bury Me A Lion is releasing our first album on October 10th. the celebration will be at 'Kennys Castaways' in New York and everybody who attends will get a copy of it. we've been laboring over this ep for quite some time – its development is that of the band's, right since its beginnings in february when we recorded the preliminary tracks.
this weekend we're taking our festive spirits up to Boston and Providence (Friday at 'Cantab Lounge' in Cambridge and Saturday at 'The Spot on Thayer'…and then down south to Augusta and Atlanta for the first week of october. you can see all the details below (or check out our myspace for last minute additions – www.myspace.com/burymealion).

T-Mobile Germany's MDA Basic is just that friends, a no muss no fuss affair for those looking for more than a feature phone -- at least in some regards -- can offer, at bargain basement prices. We've covered all the details on the HTC Touch Viva set, but to refresh it includes a 2 megapixel camera, GSM / EDGE, TouchFLO 2D, WiFi, and even GPS. It's a bit mad that basic sets now includes things we only could dream about a couple years ago, GPS in a $6 Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro device is always OK with us. This set should stumble into retail in early February for about €4.95 (roughly $6.50) on a two year contract.
Update: I guess adding Germany would help folks figure out where they can pick this thing up, huh? Thanks Matt.

John T. Guillory
- Filed Under
Officers responded to Bayou Gold Casino in Eunice Saturday afternoon in reference to an armed robbery after a silent alarm was sounded.
Upon arrival the victim gave a clothing description of the suspect and allowed officers to view the video surveillance footage of the incident. An officer then spotted the suspect which fit the clothing description given two blocks east of the casino and a foot chase ensued.
The suspect, identified as John T. Guillory, 32, was captured in the back yard of his parents in the 700 Block of Carron Street.
During the robbery the suspect took $859 from the register, a cell phone from the employee valued at $380 and the business phone to prevent the victim from notifying police. None of the items were in Guillory's possession when he was arrested, and he refused to cooperate and give any information of where the items were located.
He was booked on one count of armed robbery and one count of resisting an officer with violence. He's being held in the Eunice City Jail.

Beyoncé, video game company settle NYC lawsuit
NEW YORK (AP) — Beyoncé has settled a New York City lawsuit that said she didn't play fair in a deal for a video game structured around her.
Find: The latest Beyoncé pregnancy rumors
Court records show the case was closed Friday after the Grammy Award-winning singer and Gate Five LLC agreed to drop it.
A lawyer for Gate Five says the terms are confidential. A lawyer for Beyonce hasn't returned a call seeking comment.
Gate Five had said Beyoncé made a lucrative deal for a game called "Starpower: Beyoncé," then demanded a new agreement and abandoned the project. The company says it lost its nearly $7 million investment and 70 people lost their jobs.
Beyoncé's lawyers had said she was within her rights to get out of the deal because Gate Five didn't have needed financing.

A cognitive attempt to understanding female entrepreneurial potential: the role of social norms and culture
This article analyzes the different perceptions of both male and female potential entrepreneurs from three European regions differing in their respective level of economic development and entrepreneurial culture. We use an extended cognitive model of entrepreneurial intentions based on the theory of planned behaviour, the theory of normative social behaviour and social capital literature. Results show females have lower self-efficacy and entrepreneurial attraction than males, thus leading to lower entrepreneurial intention. Differences between the three subsamples are small when males are studied. However, female entrepreneurial intentions and perceptions are more affected by the cultural context.

Indicators seem to suggest that the UAE will be having a happy new year in 2010 after bidding goodbye to an economically rough 2009.
December 29, 2009 3:22 by Aarti Nagraj
The UAE is expected to see a 2.4 percent growth in real GDP in 2010, thanks to better economic conditions, higher oil prices and the government's stimulus packages, according to a report issued by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI). However, the country is estimated to see its GDP growth rate reduce by 0.2 percent by the end of this year, the reports cited the IMF as saying.
"The UAE is one of the first countries in the world to recover from the effects of the global financial crisis. The government has played a crucial role in getting the country's economy back on track by offering various timely sops and liquidity to the affected economic sectors," said Hamad Buamim, director general of DCCI.
"The joint efforts by the federal and local governments in meeting the obligations of various government entities have boosted the investor confidence as has the continuation of the government fiscal stimulus packages and lower interbank lending make the outlook for the coming year more promising as we can look forward to a prosperous trading year," he added.
Investor confidence in the Gulf fell sharply after Dubai World requested a six-month debt delay in November, but rose again after the emirate paid up Nakheel's sukuk on time, according to Shuaa Capital's latest GCC Investor Sentiment Report.
"Part one of the December 2009 Shuaa Capital GCC Investor Sentiment Report, which was conducted before the repayment of the Nakheel sukuk was announced, revealed a significant drop of 32.7 points in the GCC Investor Confidence Index, slipping below the 100 point mark, the threshold indicating negative investor confidence, and hitting 98.1 points," said Oliver Schutzmann, chief communications officer of Shuaa Capital and author of the report.

The Mets' Pedro Martinez has every reason to be feeling down. His hamstring injury could keep him out a lot longer than the projected 4-6 weeks.
- Filed Under
In focus, by Peter Abraham
When Pedro Martinez tore his left hamstring on Tuesday, the news spread quickly through the Yankees' clubhouse. Phil Hughes winced and unconsciously rubbed the back of his own leg when he was told what transpired in Florida.
It was May 1 of last season when Hughes suffered the same injury in Texas. Seven outs away from a no-hitter, he limped off the field.
"Right when I saw what happened to Pedro on television, I thought, 'Oh, man,' because I remembered that feeling," Hughes said. "It looked like the same thing happened to him that happened to me. I really feel for him."
The Mets are saying Martinez will be out 4-6 weeks and are describing his injury as a "mild strain." But expect it to be more like three months, if not longer. Martinez told teammates he felt a popping sensation, and that usually indicates a serious tear. Martinez also was clutching the upper part of the hamstring, an area that trainers say is more worrisome that the middle or lower part of the muscle.
At 36, Martinez faces a long rehab and also will need to regain his arm strength before he can return to the majors.
Hughes knows the drill, and it's an arduous one.
"The legs are your foundation," Hughes said. "You throw the ball with your arm, but it starts from the feet up. If there's a broken link somewhere in that process, it's tough."
For a right-hander like Martinez, the left leg is especially important. As the ball is released, it's the left leg that bears the most weight. To get that extra few feet on his fastball, or late movement in the strike zone, a pitcher must be able to follow through on that leg.
"It's the one you finish over and the one you put so much stress on," Hughes explained. "I know that I underestimated how difficult it would be to come back. There are so many degrees of severity, and it's usually worse than you first think it is. I didn't know it could be so tough to come back from."
Hughes did not return to the majors until Aug. 4.
"I thought initially it would be 4-6 weeks like they told me," he said. "It ended up being three months. But I didn't really get my fastball back until September. I was still tentative in August because I was afraid I'd hurt it again. It's tough to get over."
Martinez has long been an advocate of distance running to strengthen his legs. That's out now. The other issue for the Mets will be how a sore leg could alter Martinez's mechanics. He had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff after the 2006 season. Favoring his left leg could damage his fragile shoulder.
The party line at Shea Stadium for the last few years was that Martinez was worth every penny of the four years and $53 million the Mets invested in him before the 2005 season, if only because he helped Omar Minaya change the culture of the team and make the franchise relevant again.
But for their $53 million, the Mets have received only 60 starts and 27 victories over four seasons and are now on hold as Martinez returns to the disabled list. The Red Sox, it would seem, knew what they were doing when they refused to give Martinez what he wanted.
The Mets now find themselves in the uncomfortable position of relying on Nelson Figueroa to be part of their rotation. The loss of Martinez also increases the pressure on Oliver Perez and John Maine. Mike Pelfrey, a largely undeserving No. 5 starter, now will start every five days as the No. 4 starter.
For a team in desperate need of a good start after last season's collapse, losing a starting pitcher for an extended period was the worst possible news.
As for Hughes, he now stretches his hamstrings carefully every day and makes sure to drink plenty of water before he pitches to avoid dehydration. Although only 21, he no longer counts on his youth to get him through.
"It'll be part of what I do the rest of my career," he said. "I certainly don't want to go through that again."
Around baseball
Pitching plans: The Yankees didn't really fire Ron Guidry as pitching coach after last season. They just didn't renew his contract.
But Guidry nevertheless showed up at spring training as a guest instructor, the same post he had before Joe Torre added him to his staff before the 2006 season.
It was a bit awkward in Tampa as Guidry walked around with little to do other than sip his coffee. Meanwhile, new pitching coach Dave Eiland was busy changing the team's entire approach.
Under Eiland, every Yankees starter (except veteran Mike Mussina) will throw twice in the bullpen between starts. The second session will be shorter and focused on maintaining good mechanics.
It's the same program the Yankees use in the minor leagues. Andy Pettitte has been doing it for several years.
"I think it helps," rookie right-hander Ian Kennedy said. "You throw 35-40 pitches one day and maybe half that the next. It keeps you sharp."
Chien-Ming Wang was initially against changing his routine. But Eiland won him over during spring training. Wang believes it has helped improve the command he has of his secondary pitches.
Eiland also has stressed throwing strikes and getting ahead. That's certainly nothing new. But Eiland has his point backed up by reams of statistics that show his pitchers how much trouble certain counts give them.
"We're getting a lot of information now," said reliever Brian Bruney, who was not a fan of the old regime. "Everything is right there for you to see."
Eiland, 41, has been with the Yankees since 2003, when he was the pitching coach for Single-A Staten Island. He moved to Double-A Trenton in 2005 and Triple-A Scranton in 2007.
"He's worked with all of the young guys in the organization," Hughes said. "There's a degree of comfort working with Dave because he knows what we're doing if something goes wrong. I'm glad he's here."
Grow up, Larry: We love Larry Bowa. He's the best third-base coach in the game, and no coach has more of a positive influence in the clubhouse. Robinson Cano would probably be back in the minors if not for Bowa's constant prodding the last two seasons.
But there comes a time when you have to use some common sense.
Bowa, who is now on Torre's staff with the Dodgers, was ejected from Tuesday's game by umpire Ed Montague when he refused to stay within the confines of the coaching box. That led to a three-game suspension, because he bumped Montague while arguing the ejection.
Bowa had to be restrained by Torre but managed to flip over a bucket of Gatorade on his way out.
Never mind that Montague was trying to protect Bowa's life.
After Double-A coach Mike Coolbaugh was killed by a line drive last season, major-league general managers changed the rules to force base coaches to wear a helmet and stay within the boundaries of the box. Once a batted ball goes by, they can move out of the box.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was a proponent of the switch. "It would be wrong for us not to take action given the possibilities," he said during the Winter Meetings, when the rule was approved. "We're trying to protect our people."
Seems fair. Yet Bowa is resisting. Montague said it was "probably one of the dumbest ejections" he's had, because every team was informed of the new rules.
Montague warned Bowa three times before ejecting him.
Determined Davis: Arizona left-hander Doug Davis has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and is scheduled to have surgery Thursday.
But he refused to go on the disabled list and started against the Reds last Thursday, allowing two earned runs over 3 2/3 innings. He's scheduled to start again on Tuesday. Once he has the surgery, Davis is expected to be out at least a month.
"I'm still trying to get past the fact that he has what he has, let alone that he is going to go out and pitch with it," manager Bob Melvin said. "He tries to downplay it and keep everything as normal as he can. We feel it. We know what he is going through and has to go through. You have to tip your hat to him."
Said teammate Orlando Hudson: "He is strong, man. Strong."
Around the horn: Chicago's Jim Thome hit a pair of two-run homers off Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia on Monday. Thome had been 0 for 11 against the big lefty with seven strikeouts. Sabathia hadn't allowed two homers in the same game to a lefty since Ichiro Suzuki did it on July 30, 2005. ... Pittsburgh's Xavier Nady, who connected twice against Atlanta on Monday, has twice hit two home runs on Opening Day. The only other players to have done that are Eddie Mathews, Torre, Raul Mondesi, Juan Gonzalez and Adam Dunn. ... Here's how bad the Giants are: With Omar Vizquel injured, Brian Bocock filled in at shortstop. Bocock hit .243 in Single-A last season. ... The Phillies saw so little in infielder Wes Helms in spring training that they designated him for assignment and seem willing to eat his $2.9 million deal. ... Clubhouse man Yosh Kawano, 86, has been with the Cubs for 70 years. He was guaranteed a job for life with the organization as part of the terms of the deal when the Wrigley family sold the team to the Tribune Company in 1981. Kawano was with the team in spring training and on Monday saw the Ernie Banks statue unveiled outside Wrigley Field. "Everyone in baseball knows Yosh," Cubs great Billy Williams said. "He was here before dirt."
Extra Innings
No Bull: This is no way to get an endorsement deal. But Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs has determined he needs to cut down on his intake of Red Bull and coffee on the days he starts. Zambrano has been plagued by arm cramps for the last year, a problem that surfaced again last Monday. The Cubs sent their ace to a kidney specialist last week and are arranging to have the Gatorade Sports Science Institute analyze Zambrano's sweat. "I have to stop drinking coffee and Red Bull and put more (water) in," Zambrano said. "You have to put that in your system and your mind. I like to drink coffee, but if I can't drink coffee because this happens, I won't drink it."
Spanning the globe: The Dodgers played exhibition games in Florida, China, Arizona and California this season. "Nobody's ever done that before," general manager Ned Colletti said. True. But why would anybody want to?
Walk off, run home: Florida's Robert Andino beat the Mets with a walk-off homer on Tuesday night. But when he returned to the clubhouse, his cell phone had a frantic message from his wife, Renee. An intruder was trying to break into their home, and she had called the police. "His wife texted him that someone was trying to break in or someone was trying to do something at the house and he took off," Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria said. "He didn't get to enjoy it for but two minutes." Andino offered few details the next day other than to say that his wife was fine.
Those darn kids: Tampa Bay closer Troy Percival is 38 and feeling every bit of it with so many teammates in their 20s. "There's a pretty good generation gap. I'm used to coming into spring training and you golf four or five times a week. Here, they play video games," he said. "They go back to each other's houses and they have the Internet and they play each other over the Internet. I played golf once all spring."
Now he admits it: Moises Alou just about threw a fit in 2003 when Steve Bartman snagged the now-infamous foul ball in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series. Now he says that Bartman did nothing wrong. "Everywhere I play, even now, people still yell, 'Bartman! Bartman!' I feel really bad for the kid," Alou said. "You know what the funny thing is? I wouldn't have caught it anyway." Meanwhile, Bartman can't show his face in public in Chicago.
The Top 10
1. Red Sox
Boston somehow added 1,000 more seats to Fenway Park during the winter. Capacity is now 39,928, about 6,000 more than it was six years ago. "With the Yankees opening a new ballpark in 2009, they have dramatic new revenue sources," team president Larry Lucchino said. "So we've got to do everything we can to make this little engine that could keep up with the bullet train in the Bronx."
2. Angels
Los Angeles closer Francisco Rodriguez is trying to tame his violent delivery. He's closing in his left leg and landing with less velocity on that foot. He's also trying to point himself toward the plate instead of first base.
3. Tigers
It hasn't been a very healthy start of the spring for Detroit. Relievers Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney are out with shoulder injuries. Outfielder Curtis Granderson broke his right hand during spring training, and now Gary Sheffield has a torn tendon in his left ring finger.
4. Yankees
Joe Torre was careful never to disrespect Hideki Matsui. Now Godzilla is batting eighth and will play left field only occasionally. He can't be too happy to have two years left on his contract. But at least he married a lovely young woman, based on that sketch.
5. Padres
San Diego has an infielder named Callix Crabbe. He's a Rule 5 selection from Milwaukee, a native of the Virgin Islands and has the best name in the majors.
6. Diamondbacks
Lovable Randy Johnson is scheduled to come off the disabled list on April 14 to face the lowly Giants. The quest for 300 wins starts then.
7. Mets
While desperate for a starter, the Mets seem to have no interest in unemployed Jeff Weaver.
8. Indians
New reliever Masa Kobayashi has found one aspect of the majors unsettling - the cold. "In Japan, (relievers) stay in the clubhouse until it's time to pitch," Kobayashi said. "You don't have to stay in the bullpen. So that's a big difference. It's something I'm going to have to get used to."
9. Royals
They won't be in the Top 10 for very long. But sweeping the Tigers was quite impressive. How badly do the Mets wish they had Brian Bannister back? Swapping Bannister for Ambiorix Burgos was not a shining moment for Omar Minaya.
10. Nationals
Washington is a long way from contention, but the franchise has two important pieces. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is a cornerstone player, and manager Manny Acta is a keeper.
Did you know?
The Yankees turned four double plays against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, all started by Alex Rodriguez. According to the Baseball Almanac, Rodriguez joined Scott Brosius (2000), Jack Howell (1989), Ken McMullen (1965) and Felix Torres (1963) as the only third basemen to start four double plays in a game.
Quote of the week
"My favorite part of the whole night was when there was a foul ball and, like, 57 guys ran to protect Pam Anderson." - Red Sox manager Terry Francona, on playing the Dodgers at the L.A. Coliseum
On deck
The first Yankees-Red Sox series of the season gets started on Friday night at Fenway Park. Chien-Ming Wang is lined up to start for the Yankees.

Various Eateries
Sugar Beach:
1 liter of water for P50-60
P190-250/menu on the average (i guess good for 1-2 Filipinos stomach)
serving's big for Filipinos so i guess the price is just OK
- Takatuka
- Bermuda
- Driftwood
Sipalay City:
P40-60/menu on the average
1 liter of water for P20
- Pat's Restaurant - near the market, turo-turo style (just point which menu you like)
- Dagat-Dagatan - turo-turo style, but more "upscale" than Pat's; open only during lunch time,
- Emmanuelle's - near Langub Pension for snacks
- Kwin's Restaurant - across the SMART cell site
- Bentoy's Place - at the "Manokan" area
Of all these, i'm sorry to say that we didn't find anything special about all their food, except Sugar Beach's Restaurants PRESENTATION
Favorite Dish: Dagat-Dagatan Halo-halo - they have fresh melon, avocado, coconut & a lot of other fresh fruits.
- Budget Travel
- Road Trip
- Backpacking
Sipalay Food Park: Bad barbecued chicken
We ate at one of the restaurants/stalls here in food park, the name was Patricia's I think and we had tasteless barbecued chicken. Haven't tried the other restaurants though. We also ordered fried rice but what I got was fried rice with scrambled eggs. I mean, who asked for the egg? It was weird.
Favorite Dish: None yet.
Driftwood Village Restaurant: Ambient Restaurant
My family had lunch at Driftwood Village resort and ordered different foods. Refer below for what we ordered.
The place had a really nice ambiance, we ate at the loft they created where a long piece of driftwood hung from the ceiling for our table. We also had a pretty view of the sea.
Favorite Dish: We tried the Spaghetti al Gorgonzola(cheese pasta, Tinolang Manok(a Filipino dish), Pork Satay, Schnitzel with fries and Chicken nuggets. I loved the cheese pasta, it was kind of bitter at first but its only the first part, the next is delicious. I got a surprise from their tinolang manok because it was very spicy but still delicious, same with the Pork Satay. I wasn't able to try the schnitzel though. Chicken nuggets weren't really nuggets, they were more like chicken fillets.
Takatukah: Must-Try: Pizza Maxima
Takatukah was on the opposite side of Langub beach and we had to walk for about 15-20 minutes just to get there. It's well worth it, of course because the food is absolutely delicious and the ambience makes you feel very at home. The owners are also very friendly.
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish was the Pizza Maxima. We were told we had to wait 2 hours before it was served and we agreed. It took two hours because everything was made fresh, from the dough to the sauce and the ingredients. It might have been hot, but with Mama Sita's Chili Labuyo sauce, the pizza tasted out of this world!

Product Reviews
Rated 1 out of 5 by SeaBlume from Design flaw in this fixture This is a beautiful and substantial sconce fixture HOWEVER there is a design flaw in the positioning of the socket on the housing. Instead of being centered, the socket is situated off to the left side which results in only 2/3 of the glass insert being lit. The remaining 1/3 is only seen as a shadow of the inner socket behind the glass insert. This is unfortunate as otherwise it is such a lovely fixture.

Letter: Remember those on 9/11 flights
Another year has passed since the United States was attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. As we reflect on the events of that day and the heroism of emergency crews in New York, please take time to consider the pilots, flight attendants and passengers who were the first to perish in the attack.

Jason Dufner May Not Play Golf Until 2016
Jason Dufner's title defense at the PGA Championship didn't last very long — 10 holes to be exact.
Dufner, who has been struggling with a neck injury since the Masters this past April, shot 40 on the front nine at Valhalla on Thursday before withdrawing on the 10th green.
"I've been feeling pretty bad all week," he said. "I felt bad last week. I haven't made a birdie in 45 holes and I'm just not able to play golf right now. I don't need to be out here. I tried to do what I could to be able to compete some and give it a go, but it is just pointless."
Dufner said he's tried everything to get healthy except to "take significant time off."
"I'll play golf again when I'm healthy," Dufner said. "That could be at The Barclays, that could be next year, that could be 2016. I refuse to be out here and not be healthy and not give myself a chance to be competitive."
Dufner wasn't the only one withdrawing due to pain on Thursday. Matt Kuchar, currently No. 5 in Ryder Cup standings, didn't even make the first tee thanks to back trouble.

Lexi Thompson, Rickie Fowler Star in New PUMA Spot
Rickie Fowler and Lexi Thompson are two of golf's most talented young stars and, thanks to their gear from PUMA, two of the brightest.
Recently, the two made cameos alongside some of the brand's most recognizable and successful athletes in a new spot for PUMA's "Forever Faster" campaign. Record-setting sprinter Usain Bolt and soccer sensation Mario Balotelli also appear in the spot, which is only a minute long, but so well done it leaves you wanting more:
PUMA has always had a knack for providing innovative ideas and performance in sport, and when the aesthetic that goes with it is so pleasing, you're guaranteed to have a hit on your hands. Most importantly for you, me, Back9Network and the golf industry is that it's making golf cool by seamlessly including two of the game's brightest young stars into their brand-encompassing spot.
Well played, PUMA. Well played.

Golf Resorts Make Play to Attract Millennial Golfers
With golf trying to grow during the age of instant gratification, the target audience is the millennial. Through no fault of it's own, the game of golf has had trouble bringing the "me first" and the "gimme-gimme" generation into the sport.
Millennial travelers — aged 35 and under — have not been flocking to the golf course the way the generation before them did. Many believe it's due to their need to stay connected to the Internet, activeness on social media, and their desire to stick with what they know and who they know, rather than interact with strangers.
Martha White wrote in her New York Times article that resorts are "making changes that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago." Among those changes are things like, "adding speakers to golf carts and Wi-Fi access on the course, building high-tech training centers and miniature golf putting courses, and peppering corporate golf events with tangentially related activities."
Marquee locations like Pinehurst, Sea Island, the Rosewood CodreValle and the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Fla., have all made changes aimed at bringing in younger golfers. Time will tell if the changes pay off, but if they do, the game of golf will certainly be better off for it.

Three weeks ago, whilst Rory swaggered down the fairways at Royal Liverpool on Sunday, a host of top players made a charge for the claret jug. Typical major-Sunday names likes Sergio Garcia, Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler, Charl Schwartzel and Jim Furyk had their moments, but left the third major weekend of the season empty handed. Read More

So yesterday I switched from my generic spd pedals that kept clipping out on me during skids/skips no matter how much I tightened them down to a pair of crank brothers quattros. They're very pretty pedals, but I have a lot of trouble clipping into them. I'm wearing a pair of lower-end sidi mtb shoes, and I had to cut away a bunch of sole to get the cleats to engage at all... Still, they seem to take an abnormal amount of force to clip in. Is it just because my old pedals were really loose, or is there something else at work? I didn't use the little rubber thing that they provided which surrounds the cleat, because getting it on the shoe would require even more cutting of the sole, which was a huge pain in the ass, and I felt like i was on the edge of a catastrophic knife wound the whole time.
So, what's the deal? Get used to the way they clip in? Cut that sole down some more and get the rubber platform in there?

SAN FRANCISCO For the first time in decades, a river otter has made San Francisco its home, taking up residence in the ruins of a 19th-century seaside bath facing the Pacific Ocean.
The otter has mystified and delighted conservationists since, who are piecing together clues to figure out how he got there. The whiskered creature was first spotted by birdwatchers in September.
River otters once thrived in the San Francisco Bay area. But development, hunting and environmental damage in the 19th and 20th centuries has taken its toll on the once-robust local population.
A group called the River Otter Ecology Project studies otter populations further north and in the bay. It says until now it had no evidence the creatures had returned to San Francisco.
The otter is nicknamed "Sutro Sam" after the old baths, which were named after former San Francisco Mayor Adolph Sutro, who built the building, which at the time was an engineering marvel.
The facility opened in 1896 on a cliff facing the Pacific Ocean, its baths fed by the salty ocean tides and a freshwater seep. They were torn down and burned in a fire in 1966, and the building's carcass has long been a tourist draw on the city's rugged, western shoreline.
The aquatic mammal seems to have found the mix of the environment he needs to make a home, to the delight of tourists and local nature lovers.
"They do need fresh water to drink and keep their fur clean," Megan Isadore, director of outreach and education for the river otter group. "They are also happy in salt and brackish water — wherever there is food — and he is getting fresh water from seeps behind the baths."
River otters can be found in other regions of the San Francisco Bay area. To the north of the Golden Gate, the researchers are tracking a group in Marin County.
They have also found river otters in the shore-side San Francisco Bay area communities of Alameda, Richmond and Martinez.
"Habitat destruction had an impact on the river otters," said Dorren Gurrola, a science teacher at the Marine Mammal Center. "So it's always exciting to see these animals return to their habitat."
Associated Press
Associated PressYoung males like Sam often are the ones that travel away from groups, looking for food. If they find a new, hospitable habitat, others including females may join and create the basis of a new colony, Gurrola said.
While there is no certain reason for Sam's appearance in San Francisco, Isadore and biologists working to unlock more clues have some leads to go on.
He could have swam across the bay's mouth from Marin County, and scat collected from Sam will be analyzed to see if there's a genetic link to that population. But now, Sam seems to be happy swimming around and munching on small fish, including goldfish discarded in the area.
"We're just trying to piece things together in a logical way," Isadore said. "River otters sometimes even stow away on boats, we just don't know."

White House moving against cyber threats after Republicans nixed voluntary standards
WASHINGTON The White House has drafted a preliminary executive order aimed at strengthening the nation's computer systems against attack, an effort to begin to accomplish through fiat what could not be achieved through Congress.
The draft order, whose contours are being debated, would create voluntary standards to guide companies in guarding themselves against cyberattacks, according to administration officials. It would also establish a special council made up of key government agencies to identify threats that could compromise critical sectors.
White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the administration would not discuss details of internal deliberations, "but an executive order is among the things we're considering to fulfill the president's direction to us to do absolutely everything we can to better protect our nation against today's cyber threats."
Compromise legislation to bolster the nation's defenses against cyberattacks that could affect electric grids, communications networks and other critical infrastructure failed this summer in the face of strong opposition from the Chamber of Commerce and Republicans who decried even voluntary standards as a regulatory burden.
Last month, John Brennan, President Barack Obama's top adviser on homeland security and counterterrorism, said an executive order was a good vehicle to make sure "the nation is protected."
"If the Congress is not going to act on something like this," he said, "then the president wants to make sure that we're doing everything possible."
The four-page draft order, whose contents were described to The Washington Post by several officials this week, is in the early stages, and completion could take months, officials said.
Under the draft, an interagency Cybersecurity Council would be led by the Department of Homeland Security. It would have representatives from the Commerce, Defense, Treasury, Energy and Justice departments as well as from the Director of National Intelligence's Office.
The council would take intelligence on cyberthreats and translate it into guidance that would be used to develop security standards.
The creation of clear standards — especially if there is widespread adoption — may help create a market for cybersecurity insurance, officials said. Before insurance underwriters issue a policy, they would have to ensure that firms had met the standards.

To Catch a Ghost, Part 5: Reconciliation "You call that shooting, missy?"To Catch a Ghost, Part 5: Reconciliation by Scribblez09
Maddie's lip twitched as the old man's raspy voice teased at her ear and prickled her rising anger. Frustrated, she furrowed her brow to the point where it almost looked comical and bit down on her lip. "I know what I'm doin', goddamn it!"
"Watch your language, Miss Ross."
The angry fifteen-year-old girl flicked her seething gaze over to him and shouted, "I know how to shoot!"
"Like hell you do," he shot back, looking as if a small smirk dared to escape past his white mustache. His eyes glinted with a mixture of reminiscence, humor, and disappointment. He sat atop an empty barrel and leaned his back against the white wall of Chuparosa—he had decided it best to teach his young pupil how to be a better shot just outside of town rather than within its walls.

I have some boxes of Grades 1, 2 & 3 in 16"x12" and some 24"x20" in Grdes 2 & 3 of the last Record Rapid before it was discontinued and it's now all totally unusable. The base has turned pink and the paper is badly fogged.
Other papers stored alongside are still fine, so that's a risky purchase.

"Easy on the ears" is a good way to describe The Go! Team. Irrelevant would also be fair. Originally a sort of bedroom project of mastermind Ian Parton, The Go! Team's debut album Thunder, Lightning, Strike was exciting, original, and a joy to listen to. Had Rolling Blackouts been released a year later, it could have been seen in the same light as the classic debut. But it is not 2005, and Rolling Blackouts is no classic.
Instead of continuing his homegrown experimentation, Parton recruited a band to play live dates once Thunder, Lightning, Strike saw acclaim, then took three years to release the forgettable follow-up Proof Of Youth and another four before this new release. Yet the sound remains stuck in the same gear as the original album, showing little growth or recognition that his audience has aged, the music scene around him has changed, and people rarely would listen to Thunder, Lightning, Strike for any reason besides good-times nostalgia, anyway.
That isn't to say Rolling Blackouts isn't without its pleasures. The brief "Super Triangle" captures the 70's sitcom theme song vibe first brought forward on Thunder, Lightning, Strike's highlight "Everyone's a V.I.P. to Someone." Album opener "T.O.R.N.A.D.O." is a pleasant diversion, as well, and shows de facto front-woman Ninja's ability to command an audience's attention — not to mention her spelling skills. She's a double-threat. She does not have the talent to burn herself into the listener's memory, however; most of the songs on which she contributes come off as pleasant, but are quickly forgotten once the record stops spinning.
Parton is better when he is on his own. Guest-singers can reduce his tunes to cheerleading anthems, but "Yosemite Theme" and "Bust-Out Brigade" show how much more affecting and successful the songs are as instrumentals. The latter begins with a heavy horn lead, whistles (not Peter Bjorn and John; like British police officer from the 19th century) and delves into an earworm of a melody. And just when you expect half-baked rapping to ruin the song, it never comes. There is some slightly inaudible human noise that occurs in the background; an aural manifestation of fun. After all, what else would be better to party to than something that sounds like people partying? And it's brief. It doesn't linger along for enough time to become annoying.
Sadly, most songs on Rolling Blackouts do. "Voice Yr. Choice" and "Back Like 8 Track" not only fail to grab the listener, they also ramble on and on and on. These criticisms might all seem a little harsh, especially for a record that can act as a serviceable background-sound for some other, more interesting activity. But Ian Parton is capable of more, and his poor decisions and lack of forward-thinking will keep The Go! Team from being more than a great live act unless change is sought for their next record. Hopefully, we can expect its arrival sometime before 2015.
