NEW YORK — It's a new year and apparently a new attitude in Brooklyn.
The Nets have embraced the in-with-the-new and out-with-the-old mentality in a big way, beating the Atlanta Hawks, 91-86, Monday night at Barclays Center, to match their season high with three consecutive victories.
"We're undefeated this year," guard Alan Anderson said. "We just keep that rolling, man. We know we have a couple of tough games ahead of us, but we're taking it one game at a time, one practice at a time and keep building."
Guard Joe Johnson broke out of a personal slump to score a game-high 23 points, forward Mirza Teletovic had 16 points off the bench, Anderson had 14 points and guard Shaun Livingston added 12 points and five rebounds to pace the Nets, who also won three straight games from Dec. 7-12.
Anderson stepped in for the injured Deron Williams (sprained left ankle) and helped spark Brooklyn's third-quarter comeback, scoring nine of his 14 in the quarter.
Teletovic made sure the Nets' third-quarter woes didn't continue by scoring nine points on 3-of-4 from 3-point range in just four minutes as Brooklyn (13-21) took a 72-67 lead into the fourth quarter.
Guard Jeff Teague and forward Paul Millsap each had 16 points and five assists and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Elton Brand scored 10 points apiece for Atlanta, which took a 78-77 lead with 6:35 left in the fourth, its first lead since early in the third quarter.
However, Johnson heated up and the Nets went on a 7-0 run to extend their lead.
When the Hawks pulled within two points in the final minute, Johnson kicked the ball out to Teletovic, who buried a 3-pointer with 44.6 seconds remaining to extend the Nets lead to 89-84.
"That's what he does," Nets coach Jason Kidd said of Teletovic. "We've always counted on him to be able to knock down 3s and tonight he did that for us."
The Nets also stepped it up defensively, holding Atlanta to 34 points in the second half, matching the fewest points they have allowed in any half this season.
"We're seeing how much our defense is generating our offense, easy baskets, getting in the open court, the ball movement," Anderson said. "And we're talking a lot more on defense. Once we do that, it's a lot more fun when you see us getting easy baskets, layups and stuff like that."
Brooklyn went ice cold in the final three and a half minutes of the second quarter and Atlanta (18-17) ended the first half on an 11-0 run capped by a 3-pointer from the top of the key by forward Gustavo Ayon to take a 52-46 lead into the locker room.
After going 1-for-12 from 3-point range in the first half, Brooklyn attacked the basket early in the third quarter to spark a 14-0 run and take a 60-52 lead, matching its largest of the game.
"I think the game really changed coming out of the third quarter," Atlanta coach Mike Budenhozer said. "They went on a big run, we went from up six to down six. I think in a lot of ways that's where the game was won."
The Nets' winning streak will be put to a big test in the final two games of the four-game homestand with Golden State (23-13), which has a league-high nine-game winning streak, and defending champion Miami (26-8) coming to Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, its back to Atlanta and back to the basics for the Hawks, who look to snap a season-high three-game losing streak against Indiana Wednesday.
"We have to toughen up," Millsap said. "They were able to get a lot of offensive rebounds on us while we missed a few assignments. A lot of it's discipline and we just have to get back to being disciplined."

- "A glowing Skyloft insect that only comes out at night. Its beauty is said to calm the mind."
- — In-game description
Starry Fireflies are creatures from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. They can be found on various islands in The Sky at night.
Starry Fireflies are generally calm, but will fly away or up higher if Link draws too close too quickly. The easiest way to net them is to sneak up on them slowly, using his Z-target to follow them and make sure he swings the net at them rather than at the ground.
Like the other insects in the game, Starry Fireflies are a component for Potion Infusion, used by Bertie to upgrade the stock potions Luv sells at the Bazaar. Fireflies are one of the ingredients in the Guardian Potion upgrade.
In his room at the Knight Academy, Strich will buy Link's excess Fireflies for 30 Rupees each at night.

21st Century Challenges:
Reexamining the Base of the Federal Government
GAO-05-325SP-CD: Published: Feb 1, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 1, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9573
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This is the CD version of the February 2005 report, GAO-05-325SP. This report is intended to help the Congress in reviewing and reconsidering the base of federal spending and tax programs. It is intended as one input among many that Congress will receive as it decides what its agenda will be for oversight and program review. We have framed the issues presented as illustrative questions for policymakers to consider as a supplement to their own efforts. The questions are drawn from GAO's issued work, our strategic plan prepared in consultation with the Congress, input from several inspectors general and the institutional knowledge of our staff. They cover discretionary spending, mandatory spending, including entitlements, as well as tax policies and programs. While answers to these questions may draw on the work of GAO and others, only elected officials can and should decide which questions to address as well as how and when to address them. The report is organized in three sections. The first section sets the stage by providing the rationale for reexamining the base of the federal government and the scope of GAO's effort. The second section is organized around 12 areas of federal activity and includes narratives discussing emerging changes in each area as well as several illustrative reexamination questions for each area. The third section provides some perspective on various strategies, processes, and approaches that should be considered as a possible means to address the issues and questions raised in this report.

Little People Dealing With Big People Problems
The journey from infancy through childhood and adolescence to adulthood is already difficult and confusing enough for both parents and children. Add the volatility of a father struggling with the ravages of Combat Trauma, and you've got a truly mystifying voyage.
The primary instinct of every parent – especially of mothers – is to protect their children. But within your heart this instinct is competing with several others as well: to be supportive, honoring and protective to your husband, to preserve your marriage, to keep yourself safe, to maintain a harmonious and loving household, to pursue your relationship with God…the list could go on. It's more than you can figure out on your own, but not too much for God – and He wants to help you with it:
But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you. – James 1:5 (CEV)

Last night at the Knockout, Religious Girls killed it. It was a homecoming show of sorts for the local band after its late summer tour, and the feeling was all warm and fuzzy -- minus a drunken birthday boy fight in the crowd. The Knockout itself was crowded, but not that unbearable, sweat-running-down-the-walls packed it has been known to incur. The boys of Religious Girls, who we profiled earlier this week, played hard and tight; especially the drummer, who we're giving MVP for the night.

Cosmic San Francisco mainstays Audium and Planet Booty shoot us to the moon.
Some only-in-San-Francisco adventures are subtler than others -- they're you-have-to-know-they're-there treasures, unencumbered by a surfeit of fanfare or weight of fickle expectation.
Audium, a continually-morphing collaboration in sound design between composer Stan Shaff and electronics "architect" Douglas McEachern, definitely counts as one of these.
Localized Appreesh is our weekly thank-you column to the musicians that make the Bay. Each week a band/music-maker with a show, album release, or general good news is highlighted and spotlit. To be considered, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Let's get this out of the way: the boys behind Religious Girls are neither pious, nor female. They are however, worthy of your time, ear drums, and ultimately, devotion. I mean, the band once described itself as "spider-jazz clusterfuck" ---- which is why I'm naming Religious Girls our first Localized Appreesh (you'll see a different local music act in this slot every week). The Oakland-based arty noise trio bestows upon listeners a synth-y wave of gurgling keyboard, waterfalling beeps, and crashing drums. The vocals are repetitive, tribal, soothing; for the most part lacking actual words. Like a more ambient Battles.
If you want to see Religious Girls with Born Gold and Part Time for free* this week, then scroll down below the quick and dirty bio:
I had some pretty significant nightmares last night thanks to Butthole Surfers. Don't get me wrong, the legendary avant-garde punk band, born in San Antonio, Tex. in 1981, was aces during its show at Regency Ballroom – just as weird and earsplitting as it ever was. The three enormous screens behind shaggy-haired lead vocalist-saxophonist-noise box manipulator Gibby Haynes and the rest of the band projected the images that stalked my dreams.
Slowed-down, reversed, and replayed horror flick scenes of gruesome bloody deaths, chopped up bodies, and viscous blood trickling down porcelain skin. But what else would one expect from hardcore's longest-running freaks. Read more »
Yep, it's true – another Thee Oh Sees record is on the way -- not that we are complaining. Just six months after releasing their last LP (Castlemania), it was announced this week that John Dwyer and crew will release another dirty punk/psych garage record (Carrion Crawler/The Dream) this Nov.15 on In the Red Records. He just keeps churning them out. If you can remember that far back, the band released three albums in 2009. See below for the track listing and some fun videos. Read more »
It was just fine, really. Oakland-bred rapper Kreayshawn's big, sold-out show at Slim's last night was amusing, mildly enjoyable, and packed with good people watching. Rapping over prerecorded beats, elfin Kreayshawn and her Chipmunks White Girl Mob (V-Nasty and Lil Debbie) ran through what I suspect is the gamut of their songs in a brief, hyper set. Read more »
Festival fatigue got you down? But wait, Treasure Island Festival is still coming up! Don't worry, you have a brief break before it's time to again drag out your fringe-y daytime festival frocks and headbands with feathers and animal hats and booty shorts with chunky boots (please, please don't wear those things).
While the festival doesn't go down until Oct. 15 and 16, the organizers did drop some juicy information today: the night show lineups – on sale this Friday, Aug. 26 at noon. Read more »
Wipe away a single tear, Total Trash Fest is yet again coming to an end.* But between 9 p.m. Thursday (tonight) and 2 a.m Monday morning, there are seven more shows. That's right, seven. And of those, there are newly added Total Trash supergroup concerts including Ty Segall and Friends – which friends? I'm schvitzing with anticipation – with Shannon and the Clams tonight at the Knockout. DJ Lee Noise of Burger Records will also be on hand to spin something dirty. Read more »
We were tickled earlier this year by local songsmith Tim Carr's clever "Shake Your Caboose" video -- now comes a Gaga-ripping, kiddy-hip clip for "Fame Whore" from his forthcoming album The Shadows, due out in December. How many infantilized SF club kids can you spot?
In the Wed/3 Guardian you can read the tale of Total Trash Fest 3, and what exactly it takes to be a trash band. Here I present another example of the Total Trash type: Moonhearts.
The band includes vocalist-bassist Mikal Cronin, who also has a solo album out — he'll play two Trash Fest sets Sunday, August 28 (one with Moonhearts in the afternoon, and later that night by himself). On top of that, he occasionally tours with his friend, local garage rock wizard Ty Segall, who is in Traditional Fools, also set to play Total Trash. It's a freaky web those trash types weave.
"We've played with a lot of those bands [in the fest] before," Cronin says, adding with a laugh, "I guess we're pretty trashy, but we try to keep it under control."

Show me the money
The first paragraph of the article "Undisclosed donors cashing in" (Campaign 2012, April 26) reads: "Nearly all of the independent advertising aired for the 2012 general-election campaign has come from interest groups that do not disclose their donors, suggesting that much of the political spending over the next six months will come from sources invisible to the public."

Summit a step in lowering crime rate
In response to "Crime rates hit 30-year lows" (Local, April 26): The drop in crime rate may also be attributed to aggressive, collaborative work among faith-based groups, community organizations, law enforcement and the juvenile justice system to prevent gang violence.
Rosa Ana Lozada, (Harmonium); JJ Anderson (Office of the District Attorney); Lynn Sharpe-Underwood (Commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention); Anthony Ceja and Marie Pecoraro (San Diego County Office of Education); the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency; and others hosted the Biennial Gang Prevention Summit on Wednesday. That event drew a multicultural, multigenerational group of over 300 people dedicated to nurturing, mentoring and educating at-risk youth.

Mislabeled conservatism
In response to "New GOP blueprint" (Opinion, April 26): I am a 65-year-old conservative. What the Republican Party is doing nowadays is not conservatism.
President Obama is closer to true conservatism than anyone in the Republican Party that I can think of. He is taking up old Republican conservative ideas and trying to make them work with a Republican Party that took an oath not to work with the president and not to raise taxes in any form.
How is that conservative? Please explain.
I think it is party politics. And it is hurting the country. Trying for four years to stop the president from doing anything; using the 60-vote rule in the Senate to stop democracy – that is not conservatism.
No wonder columnist Michael Gerson has to come up with new names. But please leave the word "conservative" out of it.

Posturing does not make good policy
Barry Jagoda's opinion piece (" 'W': the elephant In the 2012 election," Opinion, April 26) outlined probably the only defense that President Obama has for his performance over the last four years.
However, even Jogoda's liberal stretching of the economic facts cannot change the current situation.
In the federal budget just submitted to Congress, President Obama calls for a $1.3 trillion deficit adding to the almost $5 trillion debt accumulated under his administration. If you eliminate the Social Security receipts over expenditures, the deficit is almost $1.5 trillion. The total defense budget is only $770 billion, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
It appears that maybe the "W" elephant just became a "W" mouse.
The real issue here is that we spend too much time posturing and trying to win and not enough proposing real solutions to the elephant in the room.

Strong stance needed vs. death penalty
Coadjutor Bishop Cirilo Flores expressed a much-needed and clearly stated position in his essay "Death penalty is not justice" (Opinion, April 26).
I have been on the "abolishment" side of the debate for over 40 years and have "heard it all." I was pleased to see the local diocese take a strong and public stance in an article updated with facts and costs of executions.
Hopefully the voting public will remember the bishop's admonition when it goes to the polls.

El Cajon decision lays an egg
I am disappointed in the El Cajon City Council's decision on Tuesday to reject 4-1 a proposal that would permit city residents to own backyard chickens ("El Cajon nixes chickens," utsandiego.com, April 24). Mayor Mark Lewis and the council dismissed the proposal in an offhand manner based on unverified health concerns.
The city of El Cajon is missing an opportunity to join progressive communities across the U.S., including Santee and San Diego, who recognize the value of families who are teaching their children about sustainability and living closer to our food sources. There is joy in fresh eggs from a feathered friend!
I encourage Mayor Lewis and the council members to revisit their ruling after more complete research.

These odds are courtesy of vegasodds.com for the 2016 World Series.
Dodgers 8/1
Worst odd on the board. Losing Greinke will crush rotation. There is a chemistry problem there too.
Mets 10/1
Should be the National League favorite if replace Cespedes and Murphy. Lots of salary room to spend if Wilpon's can spend.
Blue Jays 10/1
Need to sign a capable #2 Starter like Samardzija and should be the AL favorite.
Cubs 10/1
Like them to sign Price and win the Division in 2016, however in tough with Bucs/Cards. This is a bad odd.

This odd is about right. Washington and New York are going to get fat on the Phillies and Braves for a few years. Read the rest of this entry
The Top 100 MLB Prospects In 2015

Top 100 Prospects
These are my top 100 prospects in baseball. There is a lot of talent in the minor leagues right now across almost all levels. Yoan Moncada signed after I wrote this but he would slot in the 8th slot right ahead of Joey Gallo and I do believe Moncada will be a stud.
1. Kris Bryant 3B CHC – He will hit for power and hit for a high average at what is an underrated position. He was the 2nd overall pick in 2013 and has the looks of a perennial all star.
2. Carlos Correa SS Hou- He was having a very nice season at the best hitters park in the minors in Lancaster before he broke his leg. I think he can stay at SS with almost all five tools with power rapidly emerging. He's the future face of the Astros.
3. Corey Seager SS LAD- There are people who think he may get too big for SS and have to transfer to 3B but I think he has much more value at SS and can stick there for at least a few years. He should have an elite bat with plus plus power. Possibly the next Troy Tulowitzki with a slightly worse glove.
MLB Farm System Rankings (1 – 30) In 2015
By Jordan Gluck (Featured Writer): Follow @jgluck777
Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
1. Chicago Cubs- They are still one of the top systems even with Javier Baez graduating from the list. I love the bats headed by what maybe the top prospect in baseball in Kris Bryant and high end talent in Addisson Russell, Jorge Soler, Kyle Schwarber and Dan Vogelbach.
They also have upside in Albert Almora, Eloy Jimenez and Jeimer Candelario. The pitching on the farm remains the main concern with a wiry C.J .Edwards, a mid ceiling Paul Blackburn and Pierce Johnson and a very far away Carson Sands.
The best farm system in the league that will see some graduates very soon.
2. Minnesota Twins- Last season was unfortunate for the twins and all of major league baseball as Byron Buxton got injured in spring training and Miguel Sano got TJ surgery.
I believe both of them will bounce back with ease and could be close to the major league level. Pitchers J.O Berrios, Alex Meyer and Kohl Stweart have frontline potential with Meyer possibly a candidate to make the rotation out of spring training.
They took Dee Gordons brother Nick in the first round last year and he can be a complete player. There is upside all over in Lewis Thorpe, Felix Jorge, and 50th overall pick Travis Harrison. A very solid farm that can hopefully bear some fruit this season.

How All Of The Twins Hitters Were Acquired: 2014 Roster Tree
How All Of The Twins Hitters Were Acquired:
By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
Follow MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
Quite frankly, the Twins Roster Tree for the hitters was pretty uneventful.
The majority of the players were drafted by the team – or signed as a Free Agent. The greatest form of a chain of transactions revolve around Eduardo Escobar.
The Twins Utility Infielder can be traced all the way back to them drafting A.J. Pierzynski. That trade enabled the franchise for a string of Division wins based on the players brought back.
Joe Nathan and Francisco Liriano were key contributors for almost a decade each. Liriano was dealt in 2012 for the Utility Infielder.
Josh Willingham and Kurt Suzuki highlight the club's Free Agent signings. These guys may be made available for the pending Trade Deadline.
The Twins are an organization that has built within a couple of separate times for lengthy success runs.
In the late 80's and early 90's, the franchise parlayed drafts of Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, Gary Gaetti, Frank Viola, Chuck Knoblauch and Scott Erickson into 2 World Series wins. Read the rest of this entry

The Minnesota Twins Add 2 Players + A Third Is Close To Signing And Familiar
By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
Follow MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
The Minnesota Twins have decided to join the fight in the AL Central.
Over the course of the last week, they have added two Veteran Starting Pitchers in Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes in respective deals.
It is a sign the organization wants to be perched back up atop of the Division with other teams Detroit, and talented young teams in Kansas City and Cleveland.
With the club awaiting some top prospects, just a few years away, the stop – gap measure of a couple of cagey players is a great idea.
The team is also said to be near another deal with former Catcher A.J. Pierzynksi.

The Minnesota Twins have had 3 – 90+ Losses Seasons in a row. This came right on the heels of the franchise having made the playoffs 6 out of 9 years.
All of those Post Season Appearances were made as Division Champions from the AL Central.
The Twins had enough smarts about them to understand where they were in the 1990's. The management knew the club was better off building within – rather than spending via Free Agency.
From 1993 – 2000, the team never finished better than 4th in the Division they played. The club drafted really high for this time period, and had a nice renaissance by the time 2001 started.

By Ryan Dana (MLB Reports Writer and Red Sox Correspondent): Follow @ryandana1
Our new 'Lead Baseball Columnist' Chris Lacey wrote about the Morneau and Willingham Trade Market yesterday here – and it had me thinking who else could be on the block – and my thoughts on those guys?
Much like the last article I wrote on the Chicago Cubs trade candidates, the Minnesota Twins will be in selling mode too as the 2013 trade deadline approaches.
With that being said, the Twins have less selling to do. Twins fans will remember they already did some of that this past offseason.
The Twins have a record of 36-44 just 7.5 Games Back of 1st place. However they are in 4th place only ahead of the Chicago White Sox, and it is my belief that is where they will end the 2013 season.
They won't upgrade their Major League roster via trade this year, but they may add to the talent in their farm system which is growing to be pretty strong.
The Twins had the 4th ranked farm system at the start of the season according to Baseball Prospectus.
I'm not sure how much to trust the rankings because they have the Yankees ranked above the Red Sox which is laughable in my opinion, but my points stand, they are still in the rebuilding process and are doing well at it.

How quickly can a teams fortune change with top 5 MLB Draft Picks?? Think of the 119 Loss 2003 Detroit Tigers drafting Justin Verlander – and going to a World Series just 3 years later.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays picked 1st for many years, finally having their players come together in 2008, once Evan Longoria, James Shields, B.J. Upton and David Price asserted themselves in 2008.
A horrid Washington Nationals team losing 95 -100 Games every year drafted Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper in successive drafts – before cranking out a franchise record 98 Wins just a couple of years later.
The Astros, Cubs, Rockies, Twins and Indians sure hope the 2013 Top 5 Picks will warrant heavy discussion as a great class of picks as the years go by.

Down On The Farm: A Look At The Twins Top 5 Prospects

By Kyle Holland (MLB Reports Writer): Follow @TheKHolland13
The Minnesota Twins have a Minor League farm system with a lot of depth, there is no questioning that. In fact, minorleaguebaseball.com ranked the Twins as having the 7th best farm system in all of baseball, and that probably isn't too far off.
They have hitting, pitching, and fielding, the whole 9 yards. The major league club is already great but with this farm system working their way to the majors they will be major contenders in upcoming years.
All the way from their top prospect, Miguel Sano, to one of their best pitching prospects, 7th in the organization, Trevor May, the Twins have young guys that will be a threat in the future. Today, we are going to look at the Twins' top 5 prospects.

Before I show you my top 100 prospects – I want to get you familiar with my grading tactics and styles and what I value most. All prospects have ceilings and very few players reach that ceiling. First lets go through the tools of what I personally value most and where.
Those are the 5(6) tools that scouts use and the scale goes from 20-80. 80 being HOF rare like Giancarlo Stanton Power and 20 being absolutely terrible like Bengie Molina has 20 speed. Most people reading this will probably have more than 20 speed so that's how pathetic it is.

2012 MLB Draft Preview
Wednesday May 30th, 2012
Bryan Sheehan (MLB Writer): For those who may not know, the MLB's first-year-player draft starts June 4th. While there may not be a huge name like Bryce Harper or Stephen Strasburg to create excessive buzz, this year's draft should be interesting. The first overall pick belongs to the 2011 worst Houston Astros, who surprisingly have one of the shallowest farm systems in baseball. Though the Hunter Pence trade brought in their number one and two prospects, Jarred Cosart and Jonathan Singleton, respectively, the organization is lacking in prospect depth overall. Picking behind the 'Stros are the Minnesota Twins, with the Mariners and Orioles following. Predicting a draft, especially where there is no clear-cut "number one" prospect is difficult, to say the least. Teams aren't drafting to fill immediate needs, so much as to bolster a weak area in their organization. For example: it may seem logical for the Phillies to draft a power-hitting first baseman with the 40th pick since Ryan Howard is injured, but really a 2012 draftee wouldn't be MLB ready for a few years and therefore irrelevant to Howard's injury. Plus with the changes in this year's draft as to salaries, teams will no longer have "recommended slots" to play with. Translation: signability will play a bigger part in this year's draft than ever before. With that being said, here are my predictions for the first ten names to be called on Monday.

Manchester Orchestra – Simple Math
Manchester Orchestra first appeared on the radar with their 2006 album I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child, 5 years on and they have steadily progressed to become a notable force to be reckoned with, gaining in size and momentum whilst releasing another album on the way, 2009's acclaimed Mean Everything To Nothing. Now they are back with their latest effort Simple Math.
Starting with a simple drawn out droning whisper of a synth and a lightly picked guitar, opening track 'deer' is a beautifully crafted melancholic song that sees Manchester Orchestra turn down their volume and create something quite mystic and heartfelt. Although this album touches on soft and delicate moments it is not all in this vain. With songs like 'Mighty' and 'Virgin' seeing Manchester Orchestra switch of the delicate moments and infuse a bigger and heavier sound than their previous material.
Simple Math as an album is optimised and encapsulated in latest single and title track 'Simple Math', gliding in with a simple and fragile introduction that helps set the scene for a beautifully twisted tale, with the song building in a epically string filled crescendo of gliding strings, cascading drums, soaring vocals and driving vocals; something that has also been captured in the breath taking Daniels directed video for the single, which fuses a car crash and forgotten child hood memories.
Overall Simple Math is an album full of depth and sees Manchester Orchestra harnessing the ability to blend intricacy and delicate moments with their own wonderful created Americana tinged Rock 'n' Roll to ultimately produce a standout album.

The 1993 Zambia side was the country's best ever but it never realised its potential after being wiped out in a plane crash that should have been averted en route to play Senegal. This weekend the countries meet on what will be an emotional day
Frederick Chiluba stunned Africa by winning the presidency of Zambia with a landslide victory in the country's first free elections. But though he was initially hailed as a saviour for ending one-party rule, his time in office became blighted by corruption, political suppression and revelations of wild extravagance. In the end, his many critics attributed his fall to the usual sins of the powerful: greed, vanity and pride.

Thousands of government supporters gathered outside Congress on Sunday, as President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner gave her annual speech to open the 133th legislative year. It was the president's last speech before she leaves office following elections later this year.
As is tradition, the president dedicated the bulk of her three hour and 40 minute-address to detailing her administration's achievements in different areas — such as the economy, health, transport, pensions, education, energy, and labour legislation, among others. She also announced that she will send a bill to Congress to nationalise the railway lines that remain in private hands.
President Fernández congratulated her economic team, which she said "was able to overcome all the expectations that had been put forward about 2014, a year in which we were forecast to suffer financial catastrophes sponsored by the vulture funds from the outside, with the help of some internal sectors." She also highlighted the government's performance in the reduction of the foreign debt and defended the cooperation agreements with China, "the most important actor in the world."
The tensest moment of the speech came when the president confronted a group of opposition senators holding signs about the AMIA bombing. The president responded: "I don't need signs to talk about AMIA, I have been talking about AMIA since 1994, suing Judge [Juan José] Galeano for a cover up and asking for justice."
This prompted a series of criticisms directed at the judiciary —which she referred to as "the judicial party" which "has become independent of the Constitution"— over the delays in the case, and to the Supreme Court in particular for not advancing in the investigation of the attack against the Israeli embassy in 1992. As Supreme Court president Ricardo Lorenzetti looked on, President Fernández demanded to be told "what has been the result of the Supreme Court investigation into the attack against the Israeli embassy" and criticised Israel for not pushing to have that case resolved as strongly as it has allegedly pushed the AMIA case.
The mention of the attack against the Jewish organisation also prompted the head of state to refer to the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman, which she lamented as she would "any Argentine, any human being".
Saying she was not going to go into the specifics of last week's ruling by Judge Daniel Rafecas, which "speaks for itself", she wondered "which Nisman" was the real one: "the one who accused me of a cover up, or the one that addresses me, praising my actions before the UN and the Memorandum [of Understanding signed with Iran], to take the issue to the Security Council?".
The president was referring to a recent finding revealed by Judge Rafecas, in which two of Nisman's collaborators in the AMIA special prosecution unit presented two documents signed by the deceased prosecutor in December 2014 and January 2015 addressed to the president, supporting the Memorandum and asking her to request the extradition of the Iranian suspects before the UN Security Council.
The final stretch of the address entered campaign territory, as the president quoted an article by newspaper La Prensa in which the opposition complained that she was going to leave "an uncomfortable country" for her successor. "I don't leave a comfortable country for politicians, I leave a comfortable country for the people," she said, adding that "of course it's going to be uncomfortable, especially if they expect to take rights off people." She also challenged the opposition candidates to "explain what it is they want to change".
As the president addressed Congress for the last time, her supporters followed the lengthy speech that began at 12.30pm through speakers and screens placed at the Plaza de los Dos Congresos. The occasional bout of rain did not deter the demonstrators who started arriving at the Plaza in the morning with their fellow activists or families.
Despite the theory put forward by the press that the '1M' rally was meant as a "counter-march" to the '18F' march in memory of Alberto Nisman, demonstrators interviewed by The Indy agreed in pointing out that there was no relation between the two manifestations. "I'm here because of everything the government has done in all these years," said María Teresa Pegorea, from Monte Grande, Greater Buenos Aires, who was attending the rally with her family.
Graciela Juárez, a lawyer who was also at the march with family and friends, considered that "it's OK that they held the 18F march, I respect everyone's ideas. Mine is this one, it is to come here to support Cristina."
Organisers estimate that around 320,000 people attended the rally.

does any one know what equipment u need to get good readings from this program? OR DOES ANYONE have this program and works good for them?

I figure you're talking about this app?
Are you using the free version? Did you do any calibration?

yes the free version no i did not calibrate im new at this i just buy and install dont no the tecnicalitys my stero rips though just want to be able to meter it on my own so i can tweak it more currently hit 143 not bad for begginer
Q: Besides TrueRTA, what else do I need to set up my own audio test lab?
A digital voltmeter to calibrate TrueRTA™ for your sound card
A collection of cables and adapters for connecting electronic gear to your sound card for testing. Most sound card jacks are 1/8 inch
If you want to do acoustic testing of loudspeakers in addition to the above you will need:
A calibrated microphone
A microphone preamplifier or mixer
An audio power amplifier to drive the speaker under test
Cables to connect the line out of the sound card to the input of the audio power amp
A "decibel" is a couple of different things, and can be confusing to measure. There are also a number of scales used to measure decibels which adds to the confusion.
A decibel can be an _electrical_ measurement (dBv, dBm), or a _pressure_ measurement (dB). What you're looking for is the pressure measurement... In order to measure this, you'll use the microphone in the laptop which will need to be "tuned" in the car at a specific physical location at a specific frequency. If you don't do this, then the program is only reading a voltage from the microphone input and "plotting" it again some internal scale. I will guarantee that TrueRTA will not be accurate out of the box - since it knows nothing about the acoustical environment that you're using it in, nor about the response characteristics of the microphone, mic amp (in the laptop), etc.
From what I see on the website, it looks like the free version of TrueRTA comes with "Microphone Calibration Files" which I would figure to mean that it can calibrate itself in a specific environment. You need to do this.
The process will usually entail having your laptop playback a file while the microphone listens. The file will probably be a "sweep", and will have been recorded at a known level (this is the electrical dBv). You'll be instructed to manipulate the level of the playback system to a certain point, then the level of the mic input on the laptop. Once that TrueRTA can "hear" the whole file, you'll probably be walked through setting levels for "0 dBa". This is the calibration point, you're teaching TrueRTA to recognize what it "looks like" when the SPL in the car is 0 dB.
Once this is done, you're pretty much ready to go.
To test the dB level in the car _as was tested at dB drags_ you'll need to know the "weighting" that the measurement was done on; and you'll need the file/audio clip they used to take the measurement. Both of these are very important if you're looking to match the numbers you got at the dB drags.
Once you have all this lined up, you should be able to test and get the same numbers you got at the drags. MIC PLACEMENT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT. If they clamped a mic to a headrest, you can't expect to get the same numbers with a laptop on the seat.
NOTE: It is VERY VERY important that you not be in the vehicle when you're taking the measurements!!! You could easily blow an eardrum at the levels you're talking about!
:: Mark
I wanted to answer your PM in public 'cause I think it's worthwhile for the archives and other people on the thread. I hope you don't mind...
Hey man...Originally Posted by kiaz69
Specifically, I don't know anything about TrueRTA.... I have a lot of experience in setting up rooms and using RTAs, but I'd never seen this app before today.
Personally, I think it's overkill for what you're trying to do - that being just get an idea of the SPL in your car to (presumably) increase it in order to to better at the next dB drags.
If so, then I would NOT spend time with this app... you would do just as well dropping $50 on a simple dB meter from Radio Shack:
Those would be a LOT easier for you to deal with. Basically you turn it on, start a CD playback, grab your remote volume control and get out of the car.
:: Mark
I have one of these......
Thats what you need.

In Guatemala, Kerry Reminisces About Trip to Visit Communist Sandinista Leader in 1985
8:26 AM, Jun 6, 2013 • By JERYL BIER
Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking at the General Assembly of the Organization of American States in Guatemala on Wednesday, reminisced about his first trip to Latin America as a U.S. senator back in 1985:
Kerry did not specifically mention to the OAS gathering that his 1985 trip was to meet with then-president of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega, the head of the Moscow-backed Communist Sandinistas who were fighting a proxy war with the United States via the U.S.-backed "Contra" rebels. The Christian Science Monitor reported on Kerry's trip at the time:
Ortega, who has had an on-again, off-again relationship with Nicaragua, has been once again serving as president of that country since 2007. He recently politely shared a dinner with President Obama at the May summit of Central American leaders, and was soon thereafter publicly critical of the U.S. and its influence in the region. Oretga also famously supported Qaddafi during the Libyan conflict in 2011.

France to tighten TV rules over "Survivor" deaths
PARIS (AP) — France's broadcast regulator says it's taking steps to tighten safety rules for TV reality shows, following two deaths on the French version of adventure show "Survivor."
In a statement Wednesday, the Higher Broadcasting Council expressed deep sadness over the death last month of a young contestant and Monday's suicide of an on-screen doctor who treated him.
It said that it will consult with French TV stations in the coming weeks to find ways to further "respect human dignity" on such shows, and reexamine the current rules.
The council also reminded TV producers of the need to exercise "the greatest prudence when recruiting contestants."
It also expresses "wishes that participants get medical and psychological help during filming and for several months afterwards."

I've heard some pretty harrowing wisdom teeth tales, but this is terrifying. A 23-year-old mother of two, identified as Kristen Tavares, went to the dentist to get all four wisdom teeth taken out.

Presidents Obama and George W. Bush / Alex Brandon, AP
President Obama will attend this month's dedication of the George W. Bush presidential library in Dallas, as will their living predecessors.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest confirmed the April 25 trip, saying Obama has a good relationship with both his immediate predecessor and former president George H.W. Bush.
Obama, the nation's 44th president, "has routinely expressed his deep appreciation for the 43rd president's commitment to this country we love, and is looking forward to returning to Texas later this month," Earnest said.
The George W. Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas will be dedicated April 25.
The elder former president Bush will also be there, of course, as will former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
It's something of a presidential tradition for members of the presidents' club to attend library openings.

I'm so thankful to the Lord that she is still with us, making memories with us, and telling us all the stories of our family.
I haven't made a card since Father's Day...GASP!
Don't really know why, just didn't make it into my craft room to do more then play on the computer. I always have intentions to, but life gets in the way.
I went hunting for inspiration to get me back into the swing of things and found this card over at SCS that caught my eye. Maybe because I could do it without stamping...I don't know.
I added a layer of cardstock behind the hearts to make them pop a bit.

Finally, after thirty-three years, a horrific and life-altering accident, and thousands of desperately rabid fans in the making, Stephen King's quest to complete his magnum opus rivals the quest of Roland and his band of gunslingers who inhabit the Dark Tower series. Loyal DT fans and new readers alike will appreciate this revised edition of The Gunslinger, which breathes new life into Roland of Gilead, and offers readers a "clearer start and slightly easier entry into Roland's world."
King writes both a new introduction and foreword to this revised edition, and the ever-patient, ever-loyal "constant reader" is rewarded with secrets to the series's inception. That a "magic" ream of green paper and a Robert Browning poem, came together to reveal to King his true "ka" is no real surprise (this is King after all), but who would have thought that the squinty-eyed trio of Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach would set the author on his true path to the Tower? While King credits Tolkien for inspiring the "quest and magic" that pervades the series, it was Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that helped create the epic proportions and "almost absurdly majestic western backdrop" of Roland's world.
To King, The Gunslinger demanded revision because once the series was complete it became obvious that "the beginning was out of sync with the ending." While the revision adds only 35 pages, Dark Tower purists will notice the changes to Allie's fate and Roland's interaction with Cort, Jake, and the Man in Black--all stellar scenes that will reignite the hunger for the rest of the series. Newcomers will appreciate the details and insight into Roland's life. The revised Roland of Gilead (nee Deschain) is embodied with more humanity--he loves, he pities, he regrets. What DT fans might miss is the same ambiguity and mystery of the original that gave the original its pulpy underground feel (back when King himself awaited word from Roland's world). --Daphne Durham --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
King's (Pet Sematary, Audio Reviews, LJ 11/1/98) fantastical and allegorical "Dark Tower" series commenced in 1982 with the publication of The Gunslinger. Subsequent volumes have appeared about every five years thereafter. The Gunslinger introduces protagonist Roland as he pursues the Man in Black through bleak and tired landscapes in a world that has "moved on." Roland believes that the Man in Black knows and can be made to reveal the secrets of the Dark Tower, which is the ultimate goal of Roland's quest. The Waste Lands sees Roland and his fellow travelers continuing the quest for the Dark Tower. They journey through imaginative landscapes, over astounding obstacles, and meet with and confront a unique and fully drawn cast of characters, both human and nonhuman. Reader Frank Muller gives voice to the characters with a thoroughly engaging precision, accuracy, and great humanity and with an edge that drives the story onward and seems to amplify King's skill as an author. Highly recommended for all fiction collections.?Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll. Lib., Dubuque, IA

The cost of ink is precisely why I don't print photos at home unless they're part of a DVD cover I'm making for home movies. It's cheaper to have a lab do it than it is to do it myself on an inkjet. Better quality, too. I have a friend who prints his photos at home on his printer and he's always complaining about having to go buy ink for it. I keep telling him its better to have it printed somewhere else - even at a one-hour lab.

The boot shine shines my wellies up top notch ready for another walk in the rain and once they have bloom on them the rubber buffer sorts it out with no problems, and lasts for ages , great product does what it says on the box, keeps my wellies looking like new

Good products. Hunters look like new again! ??

Bought this set to go with my Gloss Plum Hunter Wellys. Can't really comment as yet to how good this product is as haven't tried it yet,but I'm sure from other reviews it will keep my Hunters looking glossy like brand new. Very fast delivery from Schuh, and free p& p. Only downside is the box was abit damaged,and products were loose in delivery bag,but that's down to courier service not Schuh.
