Beat Kitchen
When my girls were toddlers, Sundays during the winter
made me feel like Jack Nicholson in "The Shining": Snowbound,
irritable and slightly psychotic. Then we discovered the Beat
Kitchen's concert series for kids and it gave us a respite from the
playroom to hang out with other families equally thrilled to have
stumbled upon an entertaining indoor Sunday activity.
Local bands like the rockabilly-inspired Deep Fried Pickle
Project and Mr. Dave and the Space Cadets, which has a slightly
punk rock vibe, groove on stage while kids strut their stuff on the
dance floor and parents actually can relax a bit-some with the $6
day-friendly cocktails like mimosas or Bloody Marys.
Shows start at noon and many concert-goers choose to
partake in the Beat Kitchen's tasty and hearty brunch, served 11:30
a.m.-4 p.m. The French toast with caramelized banana and maple
pecan butter or the grilled cheese-imported Gruyere on thick-cut
bread served with creamy tomato-basil soup-are perfect choices for
a frigid day.
The tickets are $6. It's wise to buy them online in
advance since they do sell out.
Linda made it a goal to try out every kid-friendly venue in Chicago, which she chronicles in her Chicago Parent Good-to-Go column.

Police: Man broke $2,400 signMarch 02,2013BENNINGTON A Farley Drive man was charged with a felony Monday after police said they believed he broke a wooden sign on Elm Street on Feb. 1 that cost nearly $2,400 to replace.
Matthew Bortell, 27, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 in damage.
In an affidavit, Officer Thalia Hudson, of the Bennington Police Department, said she was dispatched about 2:45 a.m. Feb. 1 to Elm Street. At the scene, Hudson spoke to a woman who said she had heard the sign for Edwards Investments being broken and saw two men leaving the area.
Hudson said Bortell was spotted on Main Street a short time later. While Bortell admitted to being on Elm Street earlier in the morning with another man, Hudson said he wouldnt give police a last name or address for the other man and denied breaking the sign.
Staff at Edwards Investment gave police an estimate of $2,390.46 to replace the sign.
Bortell has a previous conviction for unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 damage from November 2009.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A New Hampshire man is expected to spend nine months in jail in his home...

I have a galaxy S4 (canadian version) and have only been having troubles with it within the last couple days. I do develop so I'm not new when it comes to phones but this issue has me at a lose.
When I make or receive a phone call there is absolutely no audio on my end, I cannot hear the dial tones or the other person's voice. The only thing I can here is the call connect and disconnect beeps. The person on the other end hears a very loud buzzing/white noise. This noise becomes intermittent slightly when I speak into the problematic device.
It is only when making/receiving a phone call that the audio does not work. All speakers are functioning in all other apps (music player/skype etc.) the mic is also working without a problem when used for other apps.
When the problem first started I was running 4.2.2 firmware. I was making a phone call when the audio cut out unexpectedly having assumed it was a dropped call I made an other attempt but there was no sound at all. I restarted the device and that very briefly fixed the issue. However every time since restarting the phone has done nothing.
WiFi is working fine as well.
Attempts at Solutions:
Restarting the device (with headphone connected and without)
Factory resetting the device (with headphone connected and without)
Flashing updated (and older) stock firmware on to the device
Flashing custom ROMs on to the device
Dialer apps
SoundAbout app
Making calls with headphone connected / speaker phone
All settings have been checked to ensure in call volume has not been disabled
About Device:Currently running: Gummy version M1.02-25-14-NIGHTLY (Please note that when the phone first started messing up I was running stock 4.2.2 and there was no audio during a call between either phone. The Gummy ROM has made some improvement)
Current android version: 4.4.2
Phone Model #: SGH-I337M (Canadian S4)
Baseband version: I337MVLUAMDJ
Any help is appreciated!

The National School Boards Association (NSBA) joined more than 1,000 groups asking Congress to restore funds to the appropriations bill that includes education and related programs to the fiscal year (FY) 2010 level of $163.6 billion.
A letter signed by 1,065 groups representing the health, education, labor and social services sectors, based in Washington and in each state, was sent to Congressional leaders on March 13. The letter noted that despite the profound impact on the country's health, education, and productivity, the budget for the federal programs and services remains below FY 2010 levels and the impacted groups are buckling under the weight of increased demand. Specifically, the FY 2014 allocation remains 3.6 percent below FY 2010 in nominal dollars, and almost 10 percent lower than FY 2010 when adjusted for inflation.
The increasing costs of "must pay" programs—such as nonprofit student loan servicers and support for unaccompanied refugee children from war-torn areas—erode discretionary funding available for other programs in the 302(b) allocation to the Labor, HHS, Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill, the letter stated. NSBA urges Congress to examine how more funding could ease the student achievement gaps by race and socioeconomic status. Restoring the lost funding could improve the United States' standing compared to our industrialized counterparts in student achievement, high school graduation, and college attendance and completion rates.
The letter urged the chairman and ranking members of the Committee on Appropriations for both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives to recognize the value of health, education, job training, and social services in improving global competitiveness.

Guardian Angels, Part 2
In the second part of two articles on guardian angels, our angel expert answers questions on seeing divine protectors and warrior angels living among us.
My thought is there has always been evil. but i find you must always look for the good. there is plenty of good all around us everyday. It might just be a simple smile , being with family reading a good book talking with a friend.Every morning I could cry for all that is wrong and then go on with my day after a quiet moment in prayer. Then all just falls into place. I stopped asking questions and just go with the flow. I always know there is a plan and when i see the result i understand. Noise from say the tv can cause confusion and made you angry. Watching the food channel might give you a new idea for dinner. so I enjoy listening to music and singing. Playing with my grandchildren is fun and they have so much energy. so that gives me my energy. I do believe that Angels have been guiding me, I do feel blessed and have learned many lessons on life love and family.

Sound Experience – Experiencing Sound. Call for abstracts, 15 October 2010
full name / name of organization:
SoundEffects. An Interdisciplinary Journal of Sound and Sound Experience, http://www.soundeffects.dk/
contact email:
Call for abstracts: Sound Experience – Experiencing Sound
The first issue of SoundEffects raises the question of the epistemological potential of sound. How does sound provoke and influence the way in which we experience the world? How can we talk about the phenomenological, bodily experience that sound produces? More than ever, everyday life is mediated by a multitude of digitized and mechanically reproduced sounds. In Michael Bull's words: "Waking, walking, driving, working and even falling asleep are all done to music or some other acoustic accompaniment" (Bull, 2003). Never has urban life been noisier. Yet within philosophical, sociological, and aesthetic frameworks, the world is still mostly conceived of as a visual reality. Sound produces meaning in numerous ways, both through the phenomenological, bodily experience of sound and through emerging and changing discourses of cultural practice. Responding to this condition, contemporary sound research must reflect upon the various ways in which the world is experienced through sound.
We welcome scholars from any discipline within the humanities and the social sciences to reflect upon this complex yet crucial aspect of contemporary life.
Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to):
Sound experience within the arts
An abstract of 300 words should be sent by e-mail to email@example.com no later than October 15, 2010. Full articles are due on January 15, 2011.

Video and pictures: Hell on Wheels - Wild West horse and carriage becomes London black cab
17:32 18 May 2012
Commuters and tourists were treated to an alternative take on a taxi, as a 19th century Wild West horse and carriage was merged with a London black cab.
Once the original form of the much-loved hackney carriage, the 19th century horse and carriage was 'pimped' with a 21st century taxi to promote new TV Western series Hell on Wheels.
It came complete with leather seating for six people, an electrical outlet for laptops and iPads, an oil-burning lantern and a working 'For Hire' light.
The Hell on Wheels taxi even came with the traditional bale of hay, required by UK law to be carried by all London hackney carriage drivers to feed their horses (section 51 of the London Hackney Carriage Act 1831), a traditional law still adhered to in today's London hackney carriages, with drivers keeping a fistful of straw or hay in their boot.
The Hell on Wheels cab began its journey at Kings Cross, before heading to Oxford Street, Regents Street, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square.
Hell on Wheels premieres on TCM this Sunday at 9pm.

Corey Burke
Roughly a half--trillion dollars is sitting overseas in the foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies. That's right good old-fashioned cash the antidote to our current widespread plague. A study conducted by economist Allen Sinai for the American Council for Capital Formation found that $545 billion in foreign-earned income could be attracted back to the United States. Since many tech companies make half or more of their sales overseas, repatriation is a top priority of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.
So, what's the problem? Our government imposes a 35 percent tax on income earned overseas that U.S. multinational companies must pay to bring the money back home.
According to the Wall St Journal on-line, more businesses will be moving out of the USA and keeping thier money in other countries/offshore accounts because of the hostile business environment created by Obomonomics!
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us to no end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Woodley, Luke and twins Deona and Keona Luke went inside while Luke's 15-year-old daughter, Kierra Smith, stayed inside the SUV.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Trayvon Martin Trial: RHoA Cast Reacts to Shocking Verdict
The nation was shocked on July 13 when George Zimmerman was declared not guilty in the controversial Trayvon Martin case. Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder after shooting 17-year-old Trayvon in what he claimed was self-defense. It's impossible to know what really happened that night, which presents plenty of reasonable doubt, hence the jury's "not guilty" verdict. Facebook and Twitter were swamped with reactions, including the heated responses from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Here's what they had to say...
Kenya Moore: "I'm sick to my stomach. This is so sad so unfair so unjust. No one should be acquitted for killing a child after following them around … RIP Trayvon. I'm so sorry we failed you. We send all our love and prayers to your family. We know you will watch over them in heaven #angel."
Porsha Stewart: "God Bless the Family of #TrayvonMartin ???? Prayers are in order! Lets lift them up and ask God to keep…"
Phaedra Parks: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere -Martin Luther King, Jr. #ZimmermanTrial."
Cynthia Bailey: "If you are guilty, you will never truly be free. #Godknowsall."
Kim Zolciak: "My heart goes out to Trayvon Martin's family. Thought & prayers being sent their way #NoJustice."

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Steven Cardone smiled as he jogged off the field after San Antonio escaped with another victory at the Little League World Series.
The pitcher had a big reason for the look of relief on his face. Actually, three big reasons.
Cardone and San Antonio's makeshift defense erased three bases-loaded threats with double plays and John Shull had two RBIs in a 4-1 victory Wednesday night over Staten Island, N.Y.
"That's pretty standard," Shull's father, Texas manager Mike Shull, said jokingly about the timely defense.
Texas moves on to play Georgia or California in Saturday's U.S. final while New York was eliminated.
Earlier, Raymundo Berrones and Raul Rojas combined on a one-hitter, and Rojas' two-run blast highlighted a five-run first inning in Mexico's 6-0 victory that eliminated Chiba City, Japan.
Mexico advanced to Saturday's international final against Taiwan or Curacao.

Folks along the Washington waterfront got their fill of some great food and sights at this year's Smoke On the Water Festival.
The 8th Annual Smoke On the Water Festival kicked off Friday in Washington, and made for one great time in the city this weekend. The festival featured 22 pig cookers whipping up bar-b-q, but also had a chili cookoff, great on this chilly day Saturday. But the main goal of the festival was to bring people to Washington, a goal that was accomplished according to organizers.
Festival organizers say they have Mother Nature to thank for this year's great turnout.

Nationwide Phishing Scams Reported
November 1, 2011
The American Bankers Association is warning consumers not to fall victim to a sudden increase in phishing scams that have been reported in states around the country.
According to reports, perpetrators are using automated dialers, text messages or emails to misinform consumers that their accounts have been closed due to fraud. Consumers are then prompted to enter in their card information, including expiration number and three-digit CV code on the back of the card, in order to reactivate their accounts. Those who respond to these inquires run the potential risk of having their information used to fraudulently purchase goods and services or to obtain credit.
To avoid becoming the victim of a phishing scam, follow these tips:
- Never give out your personal or financial information in response to an unsolicited phone call, fax or email, no matter how official it may seem.
- Do not respond to email that may warn of dire consequences unless you validate your information immediately. Contact the company to confirm the email's validity using a telephone number or Web address you know to be genuine.
- Check your credit card and bank account statements regularly and look for unauthorized transactions, even small ones. Some thieves hope small transactions will go unnoticed. Report discrepancies immediately.
- When submitting financial information online, look for the padlock or key icon at the bottom of your Internet browser. Also, many secure Internet addresses, though not all use "https".
- Report suspicious activity to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center.
- If you have responded to an email, contact your bank immediately so they can protect your account and your identity.
- Consider a Theft Protection Service to monitor your identity and detect suspicious activity.

So, let me now see how it would work from the f2py point of view. Here follows four points. The points 2) and 3) are important to make f2py and weave to work together. 1) Suppose, f2py generates an extension function `gun.run' that wraps the following Fortran function: integer function run(fun) external fun run = fun(3,4) end In C, this function can be called by name `run_'. f2py generates the following C/API (pseudo) code: PyObject *py_fun; int c_fun(int *a,int *b) { /* Note: Fortran expects pointer arguments */ PyObject *value; value = PyObject_CallObject(py_fun,Py_BuildValue("ii",*a,*b)); return int_from_pyobj(value); } PyObject f2py_gun_run(PyObject* self, PyObject* args, PyObject* kws ) { int ret; static char *kwlist[] = {"fun",NULL}; PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args,kws,"O!",kwlist, &PyFunction_Type,&py_fun); ret = run_(&c_fun); return Py_BuildValue("i",ret); } 2) There is one issue. Fortran always expects that arguments are pointers. Is it possible that weave/pycod could generate the following int pure_c_foo(int *a, int *b) { return *a + *b; } ? Otherwise I don't see how I could pass your pure_c_foo to Fortran functions without additional wrapping. Array arguments must be pointers anyway, right. Actually, below you see a possible way out of this dilemma (look at GetAccelerated(py_fun,signature)). Or is it SWIG stuff applicable here? 3) Assume that issue 2) is solved. Then f2py should generate the following f2py_gun_run function: PyObject f2py_gun_run(PyObject* self, PyObject* args, PyObject* kws ) { int ret; static char *kwlist[] = {"fun",NULL}; PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args,kws,"O",kwlist,&py_fun); if (CheckAccelerated(py_fun)) { static char *signature = {"int","*int","*int"}; /* something like static int *signature = {INT_ARG,INT_ARR_ARG,INT_ARR_ARG}; would be more efficent. */ PyObject * accel_fun = GetAccelerated(py_fun,signature); ret = run_(&GetAccelerated_Ptr(accel_fun)); } else if (PyCheck_Function(py_fun)) { ret = run_(&c_fun); } else { // raise TypeError } return Py_BuildValue("i",ret); } where weave/pycod should provide the following macros CheckAccelerated GetAccelerated GetAccelerated_Ptr Doesn't matter for f2py how you would call them but it would be preferable if f2py extension modules would need _not_ to include any weave/pycod specific header files. For example, the Python equivalent for CheckAccelerated could be: def CheckAccelerated(obj): return hasattr(obj,'__weave_accelerated__') 4) To finalize, the Python session would look like the following: def foo(a,b): return a+b import weave foo = weave.accelerate(foo) import gun print gun.fun(foo) # -> 7 > Not sure yet. If we find overlap, we should defintely get rid of it ... > Let us get a bit farther on merging weave and pycod before we address > this though. > I'm still trying to get a handle on how the caching mechanism should work > for this, and Pat is trying to get Python loop conversion to C working. Sure. While doing all that it would be great if you could take into account the issue 2) and provide macros/functions to serve the point in 3). Then the cooperation between f2py and weave would be almost ideal (the ideal would be to merge them ;-). Regards, Pearu

Notes About Mundane Life
Caterers: I need someone to make me a bunch of carry-out hors d'oeuvres for a party. I have had my pal Galahad do food for me on several occasions, and he's great, but it's time we let him out of the kitchen.
I want stand-up finger-food, nothing too messy, probably around 200 pieces, give or take. No serving required – I have that covered - just hand off the goodies the day of the party and take your cash.
I may wind up doing Costco for this, but if you've got a better idea, email me.
I know it's not the weekend, but I'm going to talk about shopping anyway. Ladies, I went downtown yesterday to the Nordies sale, and actually, it was pretty underwhelming. There just wasn't that much, and what there was – well, you could see why it was on sale. (Except lingerie. There were actually a lot of cute undies.)
I was mainly looking for a casual spring jacket, and I couldn't find a thing I liked. It's all short trench coats, and I don't want anything with a belt. Burberry has some short light jackets, but I tried them on and wow, they're very matronly looking. I may have to go for this Moncler jacket, even though I'm really not sure about that belt.
From the Slightly Overzealous Salespeople Department: I also was browsing for bedsheets in Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday. I didn't think I was doing anything all that unusual, but... I like to throw all the options in the cart and then when I've looked over all the displays, look at what I have and see which ones I actually want to buy. I was doing that, and while I did so, a saleperson – a youngish guy – kept coming to see if I needed anything. Like, every three minutes. Which is not an inherently bad thing to do, although one usually doesn't get that level of attention in a big-box store, and I don't generally like to be hovered over.
But then things took an odd turn, when he remarked, "Wow, that's a lot of sheets."
I had three sets of sheets in the cart. I wouldn't have thought that was a noteworthy amount of linen. So I just shrugged, without making eye contact, and made some noncommittal remark.
"Why do you need so many sheets?"
I thought, "How am I supposed to answer that question?" I mean, why do people usually need bed sheets? You work at a housewares store and you have to ask this?
I briefly considered being a smart-ass. "I'm going to a Klan rally and I want to be the best-dressed girl there."
Or, "I used all the old ones to wrap my late boyfriend's body in before I threw it off the pier."
"I'm a bed-wetter. Sometimes I piss on things in the daytime, too."
I mean, really. Sometimes when people say silly things, it would serve them right if I did say something smart-ass. But I don't, because I don't want to deal with the fallout. And I didn't want to be mean, I just wanted him to go away and let me consider the merits of Grand Percale versus Royal Sateen.
I was telling a pal about this and she said, "He wanted you to say, I need all new sheets because I just got divorced and my ex got all the bedding. And then he'd have hit on you."
That made me laugh. I think women should try not to just assume that any guy who speaks to them has romantic intentions. But maybe that was it. Or maybe he was just competing for Salesperson of the Month or something.
But what I did was just say nothing and give him the raised-eyebrow look that usually brings boys to order in my dungeon. He went away. I settled on a nice set with 6oo thread-count, in sort of a muted plum color.

(The Fullerton News-Tribune's Athletes of the Year were chosen by sports writers Brian Whitehead and Kenny Connolly, with the assistance of OCVarsity staff writers.)
Even if you've never met her before, it's rather easy to tell Alison Lany is an accomplished athlete.
A simple glance at her letterman's jacket is a giveaway.
Flooded with patches denoting all of her athletic achievements, Lany's red and black jacket is filled to capacity, a testament to her four-year career at Troy High. But a subtler sign of success rests on her right hand – a 2013 CIF championship ring.
In February, Lany led the Warriors' water polo team to the Division 4 final against La Serna of Whittier. By scoring three goals in the fourth quarter, Lany helped secure a 9-5 win that gave Troy its first water polo championship.
"We had two goals going into this season," said Lany, the 2012-13 Fullerton News-Tribune Girls Athlete of the Year. "First, our main goal was to win league. We took care of that. Then our next goal was to win CIF."
While the championship game was played more than four months ago, Lany remains emotional about that afternoon.
"It was just awesome," she recalled. "Everyone jumped in the pool. We were all screaming. It was a great feeling."
In addition to celebrating a CIF title, Lany was named the Division 4 Player of the Year. Her 82 goals on the season put her among Orange County's leaders.
Lany was awarded a scholarship to play water polo at UC Davis.
"I'm very excited and so proud because she really achieved all of her goals," said Lany's mother, Kathy. "Going off to play Division I water polo has been a dream of hers. So it's a very exciting time."
Things only got better for Lany as her time at Troy began to wind down.
Following the water polo season, Lany remained in the pool to compete for the Warriors' swim team. She helped the team compile an undefeated record in the Freeway League before it went on to win the CIF Division 2 team championship over Ayala of Chino Hills last month.
"Swim felt good because that was our first championship, too, and it was great to have all of the girls aquatics programs win," Lany said. "It felt really good to finish the year with another CIF championship."
Entering the 2012-13 season, Troy had never claimed an aquatics CIF title. This year it earned two. Alison Lany played a critical role on both squads, and walks out of Troy as one of its most successful athletes of all time.

The year 2008 was a busy one for Joe Miller. An attorney in private practice who was also busy doing part-time legal work for the Fairbanks North Star Borough, he was also serving as the Interior region chair for the Alaska Republican Party. By March, he was actively working to unseat state party chair Randy Ruedrich in the belief the party needed a leader who would fully back Gov. Sarah Palin. Six months later, Miller signed on to represent a group trying to thwart a legislative investigation into whether Palin -- who had just rocketed onto the national stage as the GOP's pick for vice president -- abused the power of her office when she fired the state's top cop. Palin and Miller's paths would collide again two years later when the former governor endorsed Miller's run for Senate, drawing national attention to his campaign.
Critics on both sides viewed what would come to be known as the "Troopergate" scandal and all of its twists, including the investigations and the lawsuits, as political gymnastics. We don't know how Miller felt at the time or how he feels about it now. Attempts to reach him for comment on this story, through his campaign staff, went unanswered.
Miller's jump into the Troopergate fray came on Sept. 16, 2008, when he filed suit in Fairbanks to stop an investigation already set in motion by the state's Legislative Council. Miller sued on behalf of five Alaskans from the Fairbanks and North Pole communities who wished to "secure their rights as taxpayers and citizens of the State of Alaska to be free from unauthorized, wasteful, and unlawful government spending," according to the opening sentence of Miller's complaint.
The investigation into Troopergate was looking into allegations that Palin wrongfully removed Commissioner of Public Safety Walt Monegan from office because he refused to end the career of her sister's ex-husband, Mike Wooten. Wooten was (and is) an Alaska State Trooper with a bitterly strained relationship with the Palin family. There were claims Wooten tried to threaten and intimidate the Palins, and Miller and others were baffled as to why the man continued to be employed in Palin's hometown.
The Legislature, however, was more interested in the governor's efforts to get Wooten fired. Miller centered his legal argument against the investigation on questions of constitutionality, echoing a theme the self-described "constitutional conservative" is again loudly raising in his bid to dislodge incumbent Lisa Murkowski from office: overreaching government authority. In his complaint he called the investigation "politically-inspired and unconstitutional."
Miller argued that another government entity -- the state Personnel Board -- was the appropriate jurisdiction to pursue claims about ethics problems within the executive branch. Allowing the Legislative Council to investigate opened the process to unfair political influences, he said. With a Democratic senator leading the charge and hinting the outcome wouldn't be good for Palin, the process lacked integrity and fairness, Miller argued.
Among Miller's direct claims was the charge the investigation violated separation of powers by exceeding the constitutional authority of the Legislature. The Legislative Council had no authority to fund the investigation, on which it had agreed to spend to $100,000. And, he said, Democratic Sen. Hollis French's oversight of the process violated constitutional due process guarantees by putting a partisan legislator in charge of what was supposed to be an independent investigation of an elected official.
To Miller's way of thinking, the investigation was "blatantly unlawful," as he wrote in a column for the Catholic News Agency published less than a week after he filed the lawsuit.
But Miller never pressed his legal arguments. After a judge ruled against plaintiffs in a similar case filed in Anchorage, Miller voluntarily dropped the Fairbanks case.
This came as no surprise to the attorney representing the Legislative Council, to the investigator it hired, or to French.
"It is hard to imagine a lawsuit more dangerous to Alaska's tripartite form of government than one that asks the courts to instruct the Legislature that there are certain executive actions that are off-limits to legislative inquiry, certain legislators who are too 'partisan' to be assigned responsibility in legislative investigations, and certain people whom the Legislature cannot employ as investigators. That is what this suit does," wrote attorney Peter Maasen in his answer to Miller's complaint. "Fortunately, under Alaska's separation-of-powers principles and case law, the complaint is clearly meritless as a matter of law. The court should dismiss it."
Maasen went on to call Miller's claims extraordinary and baseless and the suggestion that French was too partisan to be effective "absurd." "Express constitutional direction as well as fundamental separation-of-powers principles prevent the courts from second-guessing whether a sitting Senator, Democrat or Republican, is qualified to perform the legislative role that his fellow legislators have seen fit to assign to him," Maasen wrote. "Those same principles prevent the courts from second-guessing the legislative choice of the investigator."
On Oct. 2, 2008, Alaska Superior Court Judge Peter Michalski issued an order dismissing the Anchorage case after finding no violations of constitutional due process or fair treatment violations. Michalski also found that it was within the Legislature's investigatory power to look into the termination of a public officer -- in this case, Monegan -- it had previously confirmed, and that the Legislative Council, under the Alaska Constitution, is authorized to "perform duties and employ personnel as provided by the legislature."
Michalski also addressed the issue of politics interfering with fairness. "Fairness within a legislative context is different than fairness within a judicial context. It is expected that legislators will belong to some party and will support the positions of their party, often publicly," he wrote. "In this case, the allegations of the appearance of partiality among the individuals involved in the investigation do not rise to the level of a constitutional violation."
One week later the Anchorage plaintiffs -- a group of five GOP lawmakers -- lost an attempt to reverse the lower court's decision. Miller dropped the Fairbanks case four days later.
"I think it's just that he realized that it was pointless," said Maassen in an interview late Thursday.
Maassen believed then -- as he does now -- that the lawsuits, though purporting to be motivated by a desire to remove political skew and agendas from the Troopergate investigation, were at their core opportunistic and purely political.
The agenda, he explained, appeared to be to discredit the investigation by making it look political, and one way to do that was to file the lawsuit. Finding a legal foundation for the suit, Maassen said, would have been a secondary concern for the plaintiffs.
"It was politically motivated to begin with," he said.
The two investigations into Palin's handling of Monegan yielded opposite results. The Legislative Council found she had abused her power by allowing her husband to actively pursue an end to Wooten's career. The state Personnel Board disagreed.
Two years later, Miller's loyalty to Palin and his emergence as a constitutional purist vying for office would be rewarded with her high-profile endorsement of his effort to dislodge Sen. Lisa Murkowski from the U.S. Senate. Miller's race reverberates with Palin's efforts nationwide to change the face of Washington, but it is also deeply personal, happening on home turf and adding the latest chapter to a public feud years in the making. Murkowski's father, former Sen. Frank Murkowski, appointed his daughter to the seat over Palin and other candidates when he vacated the position to become Alaska's governor. Palin would go on to defeat the elder Murkowski in 2006, but her near miss on the Senate appointment stuck with her enough that she wrote about the lost opportunity in her memoir, "Going Rogue."
Miller's arguments in Troopergate and his bid for national office -- one dealing with the state constitution, the other largely focused on principles embedded within the U.S. Constitution -- were and are steeped in the politics of the day. On Nov. 2, Alaska voters will decide whether Miller's political brand of constitutional purity as a candidate will hold up better under scrutiny than the constitutional arguments he posited in Troopergate.

A 1950s-model cop car rests peacefully at the bottom of the sea, washed in blues and purples revealing a silent white angel. Each outstanding print on display represents a prominent rock band. Each was created by Chuck Sperry.
In early 2011, Chuck Sperry, San Francisco artist and co-owner of Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company, made an unprecedented donation to the Library's Art, Music and Recreation Department of over one-hundred limited edition, hand-printed rock art posters. Officially entitled, The Chuck Sperry Archive, this collection comprehensively documents the Goldenvoice Music Series (at the Regency and Warfield Theaters) from 2008 to present, as well as selected Firehouse productivity related to the cultural-life of San Francisco.
This collection is exciting in both use of color and variety of content. Each silkscreen print is comprised of up to sixteen colors, applied as individual layers. The pieces reference styles ranging from Japanese nishiki-e, Austrian Expressionism, 1960s psychedelia, to the provocative punk poster tradition of Sperry's youth. Musicians such as Neko Case, Danzig, Bad Religion, Nick Cave, Soundgarden and The Black Keys are represented, as are a talented group of Bay Area graphic artists (Ron Donovan, Alex Fischer, Gregg Gordon, Dave Hunter, Alan Hynes, Scott Johnson, Dennis Loren, Chris Shaw, Frank Zio, and Zoltron) who contributed to the Firehouse Goldenvoice Poster series under the art direction of Chuck Sperry.
High Volume will be on display on the Fourth Floor from Oct. 7th, 2011 – January 6th, 2012. An opening reception will be held in the Latino/Hispanic Room on Thursday, Oct. 20th beginning at 6 p.m.

This Friday is going to be all about celebrating the creative talent that has come out of the East Bay for the past decade. There are two shows opening this friday as part of the East Bay Express' "Best of the East Bay" Party. "A Decade with No Name" and "If These Walls Could Talk." Hangar 18 Artists – Emory Douglas, Chuck Sperry, Ron Donovan, Chris Shaw, Alexandra Fischer, Reuben Rude, Dave Hunter, Alan Hynes, Jon-Paul Bail, Scott Johnson, Frank Zio and Zoltron – were invited to participate (see list and links below).
A Decade with no Name is going to be a group show of 22 artists who work in a variety of mediums. As the facebook event describes it: "multi-disciplinary look into the works currently being created in our collective backyard, "The Decade With No Name" serves as a celebration of the sculptors, painters, photographers and street artists who call Oakland, Berkeley and the greater East Bay their home."
Pictures are borrowed from the artists websites.
Occurring simultaneously outdoors, "If These Walls Could Talk" will feature a live showcase of aerosol art by Bay Area legends Chor Boogie, Apex and Eon75 with additional support from Los Angeles' Dabs/Myla and Surge. All six artists will be working on live graffiti murals during the event.
The Hangar 18 artists will have a Poster Kiosk right across from the Graffiti Mural.
Check out the Facebook event for more details, this is all going on:
Jack London Square
Friday August 6th

It's been a hectic, hard-working year establishing the Firehouse-Goldenvoice Poster Series, art directing and printing all these great posters, with my friend and partner Ron Donovan. Yes, it has been a year, and we are nearing poster number 70.
If you do the math that's more than one poster a week. Add that to the other posters we produce (read Eric Clapton and Van Morrison to name but two) while at work on the Firehouse-Goldenvoice Series, it's been a busy year!
Little did we know what a cool year we would have at the Firehouse in 2009. When Chris Shaw introduced us to his landlord Victor Hanson – who was daring enough to rent to us – Chris set us up and we got the new Firehouse studio. We began to call it Hangar 18, the secret military installation in Dayton, Ohio (my hometown) where alien technology is reverse engineered.
After our awesome trip to the United Kingdom in 2008 – organized by the genius of Marc Malakie, founder of Station 4 Gallery, his impeccable site for art prints produced by the Firehouse crew – including the great Emory Douglas – we set to work on the idea of this Series.
The Firehouse-Goldenvoice Series has also brought out the best in Firehouse; the best in me as well, my artwork, and I hope, brought many new faces here to check out my new designs.
The Firehouse-Goldenvoice Series has also brought out the best in all of the fine poster artists who have been invited to take this crazy ride with me and Ron Don. Thanks to everyone included in the series thus far:
Chuck Sperry – Ron Donovan – Malleus (IT) – Dave Hunter – Alexandra Fischer – Chris Shaw – Dennis Loren – Martin Bedford (UK) – Aaron Farmer – Reuben Rude – Gregg Gordon – Jeff Ross – John Howard – Alan Hynes – Frank Zio – Zoltron – Mike King – Scott Johnson
Thanks to David Lefkowitz of Goldenvoice Presents for inviting Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company to produce this poster series, and for having the vision to know it was the right thing at the right time.
We have been fortunate to show this series in quite a few exhibits in the last year including:
TRPS Festival of Posters – San Francisco 2008
Art of Musical Maintanance – Portland 2008
Lucky 13 – Alameda 2008
Varnish Fine Art – San Francisco 2009
Ogilvy West – San Francisco 2009
TRPS Rock Art By The Bay – San Francisco 2009
The Best of The East Bay – Oakland Museum 2009
Lucky 13 – Alameda 2009
Rock Art Revulsion – Sacramento 2009
And soon TRPS Festival of Posters – San Francisco 2009
There have been quite a few Poster of the Week awards on Expressobeans – that makes me proud – thanks for everyones' support! There have been many emergency runs to the paper and ink suppliers, thanks to George Gamboa (KAW!) and Stephen Abramson.
Thanks to the Firehouse buddy-studio Political Gridlock run by Jon-Paul Bail has been a constant source of creativity, ideas (and emergency ink!) at the Firehouse – without JP no cool graffiti, no political compass and no fun!
And many kind thanks to Lulu Ehrhard, one of the very best printers in the Bay Area.
What would a workday at Firehouse be like without a visit from JC Hall of Ideal Posters with his daughter Anjelica along for the ride, who has supported us through many years and made "Bowlio" an international silkscreen superstar; Or without a neighborly visit from Flipper Ted (the band not a poster dealer). And thanks to Chela from PsPrint for the offsets and friendly break from work.
Many thanks and a great big shout out to Nick Cernak (Cernak I/O) who created Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company's first fully functional website, Hangar 18, and gave me the foundation and design for this site you are reading right here.
Sometimes the Firehouse seems like a cast of characters from a movie – thanks to Merle Becker for committing some of this to film in her brilliant documentary, "American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Art," which came out last year while all this was going down.
On this occasion, Firehouse-Goldenvoice's first anniversary, I thought it would be cool to revisit my Mogwai poster, and move it here to my new site – begin to move all the posters I've done for the Series here – little by little.
Also supplies are getting mighty low on most of my Firehouse-Goldenvoice Series posters from the last year and thought it best to move them here while I still have some to show.
Here's some posters included in my updated posts:
– Phoenix
– Mogwai
The Oakland Museum of California – August 7, 2009
Figures that when Rock Poster Art gets invited to be exhibited in The Oakland Museum, it's in the basement parking garage. Also figures that when WE INVADE the basement of the Museum – we draw a huge crowd down there! A genuine thank you to The Oakland Museum and The East Bay Express for a wonderful time.
The East Bay Express and the Hangar 18 collective had a great time at The Best of The East Bay Party – a celebration of everything great about The East Bay. Many of you stopped by the Hangar 18 booth to see live silkscreen poster making and artwork by Chuck Sperry & Ron Donovan of The Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company, Chris Shaw, Alexandra Fischer, Political Gridlock, Alan Hynes, Scott Johnson & Lulu. Many thanks to our fans and "Keep it in the Basement!"

Couple seeks cute, curvey, confident woman
About myself
I'm a happily married woman who is looking to make friends with
cute, curvey, confident, sensual women in and around Fayetteville
NC. I'd like to get to know you first and see where it goes from
there. At the very least I may make a new friend but if we hit it
off then I'd love to bring you into my bed to share with my husband
and I.
I'm attracted to women with curves. Eyes and lips are a huge turn
on to me. When I see a woman with sexy lips or her mouth is shaped
a certain way I can't help but think about how her lips would feel
against mine. It doesn't really matter she dresses as long as she
takes care of her self. I'm attracted to a wide variety of styles,
from conservative to punk and everything in between as long as
she's feminine and can coordinate. Lol!! For guaranteed bonus
points, break out the plaid. I'm addicted to plaid!!!! Lol.
Enough about looks though. All the things I just put are just
things in general (except the plaid thing. He He) that catch my
eye. There's so many physical things I find attractive about women,
I can't help it, I guess I do have a bit of a wandering eye;-)
Looks quickly lose my attention in favor of a great personality and
sense of humor. If a woman is confident and witty I find that ten
times sexier than just looks alone. A sensuous body is just eye
candy that loses its flavor but a confident, sensual attitude will
keep me coming back for taste after taste.
As far as my husband and I as a couple, we both work hard but love
to have fun. We keep things simple and can have a great time going
out for dinner and drinks or just to Food Lion (Do you have your
MVP card?. Lol) for groceries. We are both quick witted and would
like to meet a woman that is as well. We love to cuddle and we'd
like to meet a woman into that to. He He. We are parents as well so
we know how hard free time is to
The person I would like to meet
Like I said, cute, curvey and confident. Someone that I (we) can laugh and joke with but still able to carry on an intelligent conversation. A womans sensuality and confidence is way more sexy than just looks. That can only go so far without the rest to back it up.
About my work
I'm a jewelry designer in a local boutique that makes custom items for pagent contestants. I love my job. My husband laughs at me because I always tell that I can't have a bad day while I'm making all these beautiful things for those beautiful women.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I make my own jewelry and I love doing it.
My idea of a great date
That really depends on the company. If you're the right one, I'll feel comfortable doing anything.
What is your academic background?
Returning to college as we speak.
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
Went to the mountains and stayed in a cabin and I've wanted to go back every day since!
What do you find attractive in people?
Pretty eyes and smiles. Curves of course. A great sense of humor. Confidence. Sensuality
What do others do that irritate you?
Be judgmental and close minded.
What do you think is your best quality?
Physically- my eyes, lips and booty. As a person- I'm caring and I put family and friends first.
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
Is procrastinate less...... but, I'll work on that another day. Lol.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Have you read my profile?
Describe your physique.
I've got a few extra pounds. I still feel sexy, I like my curves and my sexy round booty.
What do you do well sexually?
Tease my lover with my mouth. I love to go down on my man and make him go crazy.
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
To be touched and kissed for ages building me up and then having control of my body taken by my lovers tongue on my clit.
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
To make love to a beautiful, curvey woman. To have her in my bed with my husband and I. For us to explore her body with our kisses until she can't stand it. Then to have her and my man do the same to me.
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
This sounds corny but I never thought I'd be made love to the way I am now. I always dreamt of being with someone who knew my body as well as I do. I not only have that but I got more because my husband does things to me and makes me feel ways I never knew I could.(Siiiiigggghhhhh)
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
I'm open to most anything but ideally to find a friend to play with for a while... could that mean long term? Who knows how long we could be friends?
Free Space. Say anything you want!
C'Mon girls!! Ames me a message. Let's get to know one another and see where it goes.

Kuwaiti PM, in Baghdad, eyes investment in Iraq
Kuwait seeking to invest in war-shattered Iraq.
January 13, 2011 2:08 by Reuters
Kuwait declared its interest in investing in Iraq as its prime minister on Wednesday paid the first visit to Baghdad by a premier from the Gulf state since Saddam Hussein invaded it in 1990.
Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah met his Iraqi counterpart Nuri al-Maliki in an effort to improve ties, still strained by Kuwait's insistence that Baghdad owes it around $22 billion in reparations.
Iraq's new Shi'ite leaders have argued they should not be held accountable for the actions of Sunni dictator Saddam, overthrown in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
"We have many ideas and we have a real desire to build bridges between the two populations … there is a wide desire to invest in the Iraqi infrastructure and this is what we want to discuss," said Kuwait Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammad al-Salem al-Sabah, who travelled with the premier.
Some Kuwaiti firms, like Agility, the Gulf's biggest logistics provider, are expanding into Iraq, and the two states have reached initial agreements to share border oil fields.
But occasional friction still erupts. A Kuwaiti coast guard member died on Monday during a confrontation with Iraqi fishermen Kuwaiti officials said had strayed into their waters.
"I believe this visit is capable of repairing relations between the two countries if other steps are also being taken," said Iraqi political analyst Ibrahim al-Sumaidaie.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said a ministerial committee would be formed to discuss issues between the two countries, and Maliki was expected to visit Kuwait soon.

hello I have come across a strange thing I cut back an old grapevine a few days ago, this morning I noticed it was dropping what looks like water from a cut back branch its doing so about every 5 to 10 seconds and doing so for the last 12 hours it can't be a burst pipe because the area would be flooding, so what's causing it
The sap is rising and it's coming out of the top.
cheers, I just didn't think it would be that much liquid and last this long
Unfortunately Spring is the wrong time of year to prune vines. They can bleed to death from sap loss when pruned at this time of year.
Some things, a field maple I remember particularly, dripped for weeks.

text: While researching one story, I found another. It seems that welfare fraud is not only rampant, but also encouraged, Here is some video coverage… Waiting for claims that it doesn't happen, or that these are "isolated incidents." 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. Why is it encouraged? Well, if your goal is to make more and more people dependent in the system, and therefore democratic voters, you can't let a little thing like eligibility and law interfere, can you?

The West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital announced in 2011 that it received Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC), an international organization dedicated to eliminating heart disease as the number one cause of death worldwide. "The accreditation is 'with PCI,' which stands for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. This means that General Hospital is equipped and qualified to receive patients for stent and balloon procedures that open the artery and either stop or reverse a heart attack, depending on how long they have been having their heart attack," said Steven Albright, administrative director of West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center.
Hospitals that have received SCPC accreditation have achieved a higher level of expertise in dealing with patients who arrive with symptoms of a heart attack. They emphasize the importance of standardized diagnostic and treatment programs that provide more efficient and effective evaluation as well as more appropriate and rapid treatment of patients with chest pain and other heart attack symptoms. They also serve as a point of entry into the healthcare system to evaluate and treat other medical problems and they help to promote a healthier lifestyle in an attempt to reduce the risk factors for heart attack.
To become an Accredited Chest Pain Center, the West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center engaged in rigorous evaluation by SCPC for its ability to assess, diagnose, and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. To the community served by Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, this means that processes are in place that meet strict criteria aimed at:
"People tend to wait when they think they might be having a heart attack, and that's a mistake," states Ron Hill, vice president of Hospital Services. "The average patient arrives in the emergency department more than two hours after the onset of symptoms but what they don't realize is that the sooner a heart attack is treated, the less damage to the heart and the better the outcome for the patient."
General Hospital's state-of-the-art healthcare encompasses the entire continuum of care for the heart patient and includes such focal points as dispatch, Emergency Medical System, emergency department, cath lab, surgery, and more. West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center's quality assurance plan and community outreach awareness and prevention programs such as HEARTaware and STROKEaware are also involved in this process. By becoming an Accredited Chest Pain Center, the West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center has enhanced the quality of care for the cardiac patient and has demonstrated its commitment to higher standards.
To further patient care, in 2010, West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center initiated the West Tennessee Heart Network, which is a system of emergency departments and emergency medical transport agencies throughout West Tennessee that are committed to utilize a set of protocols to ensure rapid response to a chest pain patient. "We sought to bring care to the patient within the 'golden time' of care and do that consistently but we realized that it couldn't just be at this hospital. That life-saving and heart-saving care had to begin as near to the patient as possible," said Albright. "Studies have shown that if the right reperfusion strategy (or opening the artery that is causing the heart attack) is performed at the right place, at the right time, a person's heart muscle is spared from traumatic damage and the chance of survival is better. Therefore, our goal is to work with hospitals, ERs, air transport, and EMS organizations from throughout West Tennessee to ensure that standard protocols are followed to provide this care as early as possible," Albright continued. "This process has come about due to concentrated efforts by local cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists who have committed to the process of providing care to that heart attack or chest pain patient within that timeframe."
West Tennessee Heart and Vascular Center at General Hospital has performed 15,000 heart surgeries since 1983 including open heart surgery. "Sometimes the best way to fix a heart attack is open heart surgery. This is the only hospital between Memphis and Nashville that offers open heart surgery including the latest off-pump and minimally-invasive procedures," said Albright.
For more information on the accreditation of the Chest Pain Center at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, contact Chest Pain Center Coordinator Emily Gardner, RN at 731-541-6828.
Established in 1998, SCPC is a patient-centric nonprofit international organization focused on improving care for patients with heart disease. Central to SCPC's mission is the question, "What is right for the patient?" In response, SCPC promotes protocol-based medicine, often delivered through a chest pain center model, to address the diagnosis and treatment of acute coronary syndrome and heart failure and to promote the adoption of process improvement science by healthcare providers. To best fulfill this mission, SCPC provides accreditation and education to facilities striving for optimum cardiac care. SCPC is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. For more information on SCPC and accreditation opportunities, visit www.scpcp.org or call toll free 1-877-271-4176.

10 Female revolutionaries you probably didn't learn about in history class

Holy cow, I've never heard such fear. Black Panther members are intimidating white voters in Philadelphia. They're standing in the doorway of the polling place with nightsticks. Nightsticks! I didn't even know there WERE Black Panthers anymore. OK, maybe it was only at one precinct. Maybe it was only two black men in something that looked like home-made uniforms. Maybe it was only one black man with a nightstick that the police escorted away.
In California, blacks were shouting racial epithets at white voters. I heard one woman say so. She had a McCain sticker on her car and the black people called her names. Another woman was certain that socialism was going to take over the country. You guessed it. I was listening to Rush Limbaugh and watching Fox News yesterday.
I like to listen to the conservatives when things aren't going their way. It's much more entertaining. Yesterday, the conservatives outdid themselves and completely revealed what their so-called movement is about. We knew it was about fear, but man, these people are paralyzed with it.
Oddly enough, Bill O'Reilly was rational on the radio. He said no matter who is elected, we have to give them a chance. Huh? Maybe this IS the beginning of a new era. We'll find out soon enough. I know this already; we're going to have to treat conservatives with more compassion. They really are sick with fear. It's not that they're terrified of blacks and gays and an imminent terrorist attack. They're terrified of EVERYTHING!
Theirs is a cognitive disorder that Fox and Limbaugh and others like them have learned how to mine for gold. In other words, they're a market, a demographic. Keep the frightened people frightened and count your money. I hope after today, we all can step back and take a deep breath. I hope we can all go to church and temple and mosque this weekend and pray for unification. If it works, I can think of more than a couple professional fear-mongers who'll be out of a job. Maybe that's what they're really afraid of.

I like it when new music is good. I'm sure you do, too. So naturally, imma be pretty into the Fleet Foxes. And I bet you will be, too. Because I've been in hiding for a while, it's entirely possible that this band is old news, but I'm gonna take my chances and say that you probably HAVEN'T heard them yet. So get on it.
(and let me know if you agree with me, cause contrary to how it may seem, I AM interested in your opinion.)
Anyway, their EP, Sun Giant, is out on Sub Pop and it reminds me of like, Cease to Begin era Band of Horses (which I could just call 'current' Band of Horses) mixed with Black Mountain and the Manson Family. Only, without girl singers and less weird. Does that make sense? You can buy it from insound for like 6 bucks by clicking here.
The five piece hails from Seattle, WA and are playing at SXSW a bunch. Check their myspace for specific details, and if you're lucky enough to be attending that spectacle, make sure you do not miss them. For serious.
Fleet Foxes.
Sun Giant.
Learn it.
Know it.
Live it.
Or something to that effect.
