Rocky's New 'Devotion'
Seattle's Rocky Votolato is rejuvenated by the release of new album
Rich Shivener
0 Comments · Monday, April 12, 2010
The singer/songwriter's newest album, 'True Devotion,' is a semi-autobiographical Folk-centered collection, one that basically says, "Hi, I'm Rocky, and this is a snapshot of my life during a three-year hiatus." The new record offers a poet wielding an acoustic guitar, his warm storytelling lifted by an innocuous trifecta of drums, keys and strings.

Rocky Votolato's songwriting will take him to the West again and again, given that his newest album, 'True Devotion', is a win for Barsuk Records, which released it in February. It's a semi-autobiographical Folk-centered collection. He plays the Southgate House Thursday with Brooke Waggoner.

"Nick Spencer Cincinnati" — the results of this Web search yield a litany of news and critical opinions surrounding the now 31-year-old former co-owner of alchemize bar, two-time candidate for City Council and founder of the one-off Desdemona Music Festival in 2006. Buried in that search, though, is news about Spencer's latest venture: writing comics.

Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, is an accomplished singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who's no longer in the shadows of The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens, with whom she toured as a guitarist and vocalist. They did open her ears, though, shaping her jazzy approach to songwriting.

Music: Sea Wolf

Alex Brown Church's latest Sea Wolf offering, White Water, White Bloom, dropped last week. Like 2007's Leaves in the River, the new album finds Alex lifting his nature-centered narratives with a steady acoustic guitar and orchestral rivers full of brooding cello lines and distant pianos. "Spirit Horse, spirit me away/ I had a vision by the riverside today" aren't the only lines worth plucking. He seemingly embodies a man shivering in the thick of a snowfall, an element missing on Leaves. He plays the Southgate House.

Alex Brown Church Church is Sea Wolf, but recently he welcomed drummer Joey Ficken, bassist Ted Liscinski (onetime member of Cincy band Moth during that band's major label tenure) and keyboardist Lisa Fendelander to the permanent fold. Touring newbie Joyce Lee takes up the cello, while Nathan Anderson helms electric guitar, something he also handles for Indie Folk luminary M. Ward. I leave it at that, because I don't want to

Music: Iran

Disambiguation is fun. Type "Iran" into Wikipedia and a road to reliable and unreliable sources opens. But nowhere does it say that a band took up the name in 2000. No link. No pop culture reference. The Brooklyn Noise Pop band needs attention for several — and not because it deserves a beefy Wikipedia entry. Dissolver, the band's fourth album, maintains an air of Noise Pop and nods to John Lennon, Pink Floyd and, of course, TVOTR. They play the Southgate House with the Fruit Bats and Kevin Barker.

Aites fronts the project, creating the playgrounds in which he and Malone collaborate. Their 'Dissolver' album, released in February, ended a six-year hiatus from recording.

It's a sticky Saturday afternoon in College Corner, Ohio, and four out of the five members of Grooveshire are sitting under a small canopy at Ohmstead, the neo-hippie music festival on the grounds of Hannon's Camp America. We discuss the band's new EP, 'American Son,' the centerpiece of their "Louisiana Bayou Grunge," a term stemming from Jacob Jones' sizzling slide guitar riffs.

Music: Son Volt
Rich Shivener
0 Comments · Tuesday, August 4, 2009
Son Volt's latest touring efforts have been decent, as drummer Dave Bryson points out with a touch of sarcasm on the band's blog. Bryson's steady blog proves that Jay Farrar has stability with Son Volt's latest lineup. The AltCountry band took quite a hiatus not long after Warner Bros. Records gave it the boot in 1999. But 2005 was a key year: Farrar reformed the group and hooked up with Rhino Records to release A Retrospective: 1995-2000. An appealing survey of the band's affection for ball-breaking Blues and hushed Americana, it revisits the albums Trace, Straightaways and Wide Swing Tremolo. See the band with Cary Hudson at the Southgate House.

SANTA ROSA -- A key element of legislation that advocates of Sonoma Clean Power and similar alternative-energy agencies insist would threaten their ability to form and operate could be switched off, thanks to state Senate action.
The requirement for electricity customers to opt-in to a community-choice aggregation (CCA) agency was dropped from Assembly Bill 2145 during a meeting of the state Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee.
"We protected Sonoma County's right to participate in Sonoma Clean Power," Geof Syphers, agency CEO, said about that vote. The county's CCA started service May 1 and serves all areas but Healdsburg, which has its own utility, and opt-outers Petaluma, Rohnert Park and Cloverdale.
AB 2145 author Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, submitted an amendment to the Senate committee that would effectively leave the current system in place, which automatically signs up power customers in the CCA area unless they opt-out after enough notification.
"As we all know, compromise is a part of the legislative process," Assemblymember Bradford said in a statement. "I am happy to move the bill forward with the accepted amendments. The bill still contains strong transparency measures that will help customers make the right choice for them and their families."
He said that the discussion the bill has fostered is valuable.
"Too many people are in the dark about what CCAs are and what they do," he said.
An initial vote at 6 p.m. Monday failed to get enough yes votes, so Chairman Alex Padilla held the vote open until late into the evening, according to Sonoma Clean Power. The final vote was 6-3, with one senator absent and one abstention.
Still remaining to be resolved are amendments that would allow CCAs to expand to up to as many as three adjacent counties and would grandfather local governments that decide to join a CCA this year. The state's first CCA, MCE Clean Energy in Marin County, has expanded service to Richmond and could include unincorporated Napa County.
The next stop for those amendments is set to be the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. The bill would need to go back to the Assembly for approval before heading to the governor's desk. Action on the bill is expected to happen in the next two to three months, according to Sonoma Clean Power.

Hey all-
I'm a 23 year old college student looking for bike workouts that will get me road ready. I am just getting out of a one-year layoff from a random neuromuscular virus ( I have gotten the OK to pick up cycling from my nuero and GP) . Problem is, most books start out from a "you're already road- fit" stance...and I need to start from square one. I have an old steel Serotta and a CycleOps Mag trainer, and I for the past few weeks, have been riding 2-3x a week for 20-30 min, switching gears every now and then. I HATE RIDING INDOORS, but I don't want to get dropped like a brick either in group rides.
Does anyone have hints on how to get fit indoors so I can hang with the roadies outside? I'm 5'5 125lb (so it doesn't look like I haven't been doing anything) but cardiovascularly...wretched. And I need to start out slow....

Mississippi boy, 9, caught on day care surveillence video beating toddlers
- by Garrett Tenney |
- Wed, 2012-07-25 00:00
Disturbing video from a Mississippi day care center shows a 9-year-old boy beating several much younger children, including an 11-month-old, whom he punches and bites. The frightening footage, taken at the Kiddie City Child Care Center in Vicksburg, shows the bully attacking the baby and then patting the boy on the back as it cries and adults come in to check on them. Throughout the video, the child can be seen waiting until day care workers aren't looking to launch another attack. In another instance, the 9-year-old drop kicks a young girl to the floor while a day care worker is standing just a few feet away looking out the window. Minutes later, the boy picks up the girl and kicks her directly in the chest, knocking her to the ground. (continued...)

Skip to comments.PA State Universities Face First-Ever Faculty Strike
Posted on 11/17/2012 9:33:30 PM PST by chessplayer
Faculty at fourteen Pennsylvania state universities voted Friday to authorize a strike if contract negotiations fail to reach an agreement in coming weeks.
No one is on strike yet, but professors and coaches voted overwhelmingly that the union should be allowed to call one if progress is not made. Of the 6,000 ballots cast, 95 percent voted to authorize a walkout.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Shut it down. For a couple of years. Like the stupid NHL.
wait, professors are in a union?
Shut it down
I predict the NHL is about to become the KHL North American Division.
The students eyes will see all the education they will ever need. Let them strike, walk out.
Wonder where all the taxpayer student loan money is ending up? (including administrators, new facilities, etc.,)
Let them strike and shut down the university. It will save the students from leftist propaganda and indoctrination, as well as the fact that they won't learn anything useful in terms of getting a job.
Oh, by the way, there aren't any jobs out there for them anyway. Might as well save papa's hard-earned money, come back and live at home (saving $10-25,000 a year), and start looking for a job.
By 2014, they will all be conservatives, if not Republicans (if the GOP is still around).
Lots of key Democrat Senate seats up in 2014. Obama's biggest nightmare is losing the Senate, besides his school transcripts being found.
Just go "Hostess" on their ass. Go into Bankruptcy and invalidate ALL pensions.
That's the "little secret" the children don't understand.
It's fo' de chirens.....
About a decade ago, a full time university professor in one of the PA state universities had to teach a minimum of three courses in spring and fall semester and be available for five hours per week of office hours. For that level of effort, they were paid something in the low 40k range.
In other words, for thirty two weeks each year (two sixteen week semesters), a prof had to teach three courses (three hours a week for each course, adding up to nine hours in the classroom) and five additional hours of sitting in their office to draw a full time salary. Fourteen hours a week, eight months a year. Approximately 450 hours a year for 40k, or about 90 bucks an hour. Some professors did more, some enthusiastically volunteered numerous additional hours for mentoring and advising, but a non-trivial portion of the faculty did the bare minimum. Sure there is class prep and all that jazz, but in many courses, once a lesson plan and exam format is developed, there's no need to put in additional effort, and the cottage industry of back tests and note banks prove that PhDs are able to be just as lazy as their students.
I learned all this the last time the PA state university professors threatened to strike. I'm sure the numbers didn't shift out of the professors' favor since then.
Bloomsburg University
California University of Pennsylvania
Cheyney University
Clarion University
East Stroudsburg University
Edinboro University
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Kutztown University
Lock Haven University
Mansfield University
Millersville University
Shippensburg University
Slippery Rock University
West Chester University
Full professors make over $100,000 for 9 mos. teaching with VERY generous bennies.
The governor should offer online classes, developed at other uniersities if need be. Then let the walkout happen. If students can get an education online without the hassel, then it benefits the state to close down some of the programs.
I actually was a professor at one of these for a few years. Felt guilty taking my paycheck as full time meant that I performed class instruction 10 hrs per week, 28 weeks per year. (2.5 hrs per class X 4 classes per week) My office hours were between my classes.
My last year there, they rearranged my schedule so I only worked Tuesday and Thursday (yes, I still was full time.) Didn't even set foot on campus MWF. Unfortunately, my teaching schedule conflicted with court appearances for clients which was far more lucrative.
There was absolutely no pressure to publish or perform research at these institutions and the pay was much higher than most prestigious private universities.
I often joked that after working as a professor for the state for the state, I would never get a real job!!!
By the way, after you teach a subject one semester, there is very little prep time for class, and with computers doing much of the work, even exam grading is a piece of cake.
Wait, professors NEED a union?
Of course professors need a union. How else can you protect low skilled easily replaced employees who make too much? Just look at the bakers for Hostess.
Son is graduating from IUP in several weeks, got one niece in Millersville, and one niece in Clarion.
I hope they don't strike before son graduates.
No way. They should get rid of Tenure. First of all I work at the Naval Academy and they have to have Tenure within six years or they are fired immediately at the end of the 6th year. You could be the best Professor in the history of the school and it does not matter. So for six years, they have to get published, be on committees, and do a lot of research. It is a burden and should be thrown out. Professors should be able to just teach the students and not worry about doing other stuff that does not assist the students. There is too much pressure on Professors for such a small amount of money. However, after the sixth year, it is hard to get fired.
Lots of key Democrat Senate seats up in 2014. Obamas biggest nightmare is losing the Senate,
lol. For two elections, we have had more democrats up for reelection and the Republicans lost most of them. I doubt Obama worries about much.
As a prof I say this in jest: the students should pay them to stay out. Seriously I'm joking. Not.
Let 'em strike. Send everyone home. State government against unions, a win-win fight for conservatives. Pass the popcorn!
"Of course professors need a union. How else can you protect low skilled easily replaced employees who make too much? Just look at the bakers for Hostess."
Very true. As I remember, many reject faculty were hired and then when they were denied tenure, the unions would step in and sue the university and get tenure for them.
The philosophy department would only hire lesbians....
You can't image the cluster *%#@.
Lock Haven University is known as one of the top four lesbian universities in the USA.
You bet. More common than you think.]
I am president of the faculty union at the college where it teach. Except for arts and science faculty, most of the fauclty are fairly conservative. Unfortunately, our union is part of the Maine Sate Employees Association which is part of the SEIU.
We just negoiated a contract that was considered to be a good one by all parties. I would not permit any left wing moonbatism from the MESA.
Yes of course we do! Conservative faculty members then have protection against left wing moonbats in the administration.
Shut it down! The question is, if you send your kid to college there will be no job for himor her in 4 years anyway so save your money and help shut down the government run taxpayer siphon, middleclass taxpaying, propaganda brainwashing machine. Put a liberal socialist commie out of work!
I remember when working for a state, having to sit through a new employee presentation from a union rep. I pitched the folder in the trash before I left the room. Glad you are holding the line, but really really wonder why anyone above the level of janitor needs to be in a union.
It is especially wrong, it seems to me, to want to "maximize salaries" on the backs of taxpayers. I also remember when I was on active duty constantly hearing the mantra about how they weren't getting paid what their "civilian counterpart" was making. Today, what a laugh. The government employee is making great money and benefits, while the civilian workforce has been gutted.
Sanduskey State
Colleges are too expensive already. Colleges will be half empty soon.
IUP has a large gay and lesbian group too. They proudly march in the yearly homecoming parade. We usually leave town on homecoming weekend, even though I graduated from there.
I taught as a visiting assistant professor at one of the universities in that system for a year—I got paid about what I got at other temporary positions I had in those years, but the permanent faculty seemed to be paid quite a bit more than the faculty at comparable universities in other states. It was a four-course load (12 hours/week).
If the union is run by left wing moonbats, why would they protect you from left wing moonbat administrators?

If you've moved since the last time you headed to the polls, you've got one month left to update your voter registration in order to cast ballots in May.
The registration deadline to vote in the primary is April 7 and early voting at the Johnson County Courthouse starts the next day. Residents will need to update their registration if they have moved from another state or county to be allowed to vote at all, while people who have moved within the county need to update their address to ensure they get the right ballot on Election Day, Johnson County Clerk Sue Anne Misiniec said.
Voters have several options on how to register, including at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles when updating their driver's license, online, mail-in applications or a personal visit to the voter registration office in Franklin, voter registration office deputy Reagan Higdon said.
The county's nearly 98,000 voters can head to polls on May 6 for the primary, which includes contested races for a Democratic nominee for U.S. representative and a new judge, auditor, recorder, county council seats and township trustees on the Republican ticket.
Residents who moved from outside Johnson County won't be able to vote in May if they don't register here, Misiniec said. Voters who moved within the county since they last voted should also update their registration otherwise they won't get the right ballot, she said.
For example, a person who moved from White River Township to Trafalgar would have different state representatives, county council members and township trustees on their ballot because they've moved into different districts, Misiniec said. Since the county uses vote centers, meaning people can vote at any site and not only at a specific polling place near their home, poll workers wouldn't necessarily know if a person is getting the correct ballot.
Poll workers might be able to make a change to get the right ballot if the voter notices they didn't update their registration, but changing the address ahead of time will ensure that the vote will count, Misiniec said.
The county currently has 97,909 registered voters and new voters are added more often than names are removed due to deaths or imprisonment, Higdon said. Most of the new or updated registrations come from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and a few continue to trickle in each day. New registrations have been coming in slower compared to the presidential election in 2012, but Higdon expected registration requests to pick up in the final month as candidates start going door-to-door.
"They'll start really pushing more, especially when this weather breaks. They'll get out and start walking and they'll help register people," Higdon said.
Anyone who is registered but hasn't voted in the past two federal elections in 2012 and 2008 will have an inactive registration, Higdon said. Typically inactive registrations remain in the system for another few years and will become active again if the person votes in any election. Inactive registrations that have been in the system for multiple years after being flagged may have been removed, but a person would have been notified by mail if their registration was canceled, Higdon said.

This cover is a lot better than the one I ordered from another supplier (good thing they did credit my Visa card). It fits the car like a glove. As far as protecting the car against hail, I am not sure it will accomplish that. I hope I don't have to find out. The Miata even though is a 2001 it has only 19000 miles. Trying to keep it nice for my granddaughter. So far I am happy with my purchase. Lisa

You can sign up to get email notices when the international space station will be visible from your location. You get a notice usually 12-16 hours in advance on when the space station will be visible from your location. They give direction of "station rise", time of appearance in your local time, time of transit and direction of "station set". I checked it last night and it appeared right on the minute as announced.
I will try to get something with my 100-300 lens next time, but would really like to see some of you astronomers get a really clear photo of the station. How about it?
Also does anyone know the exact exposure that will give best detail. I am assuming that a "sunny 16" or even shorter exposure will be necessary.

Wednesday (November 14) marks a professional milestone for hip-hop heavyweight Jay-Z. With 425,000 copies of his latest release, American Gangster, flying off shelves during its first week, the MC/ Def Jam president has earned himself the 10th chart-topping debut of his career.
Now, while that's certainly an impressive feat for any artist these days, it's an even more monumental achievement than you'd think. Thanks to American Gangster, a concept album inspired by the Ridley Scott-directed film of the same name , Jay's now tied with Elvis Presley in second place for most career #1 albums; only the Beatles have more, with 19 overall.
And to think the man wanted to retire after 2003's The Black Album.
Gangster is Jay-Z's second full-length project in a year's time, following up 2006's comeback album, Kingdom Come. Both The Black Album and Kingdom Come entered the Billboard top 200 at #1, with 463,000 and 680,000 scans, respectively. According to SoundScan, Hov has had seven other studio offerings open at the chart's peak, including 1998's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life (with 352,200 scans); 1999's Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter (462,700); 2000's The Dynasty: Roc la Familia (557,800); 2001's The Blueprint (426,500); 2002's The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse (545,200); his 2004 collaboration with R. Kelly, Unfinished Business (215,000); and 2004's Collision Course, a mash-up set featuring Linkin Park (368,300).
While most figured Jay was a lock for the #1 position on next week's chart, some put their money on R&B heartthrob Chris Brown's sophomore release Exclusive to deliver a mind-bending upset — after all, the ladies do love him. Others had Garth Brooks' two-CD/ DVD collection The Ultimate Hits finishing in first. Of course, they were wrong. In fact, Jay's closest competitor was last week's #1 , the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden, which sold another 359,300 copies for the chart's #2 opening. Brooks' best-of generated 351,800 scans to open at #3, while Brown's LP sold 294,500 units and follows in the #4 spot.
Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride slipped two spots to #5, with sales reported at 120,780, and at #6, up two places from the previous week, is Josh Groban's Noël with 115,600 copies sold. Britney Spears' Blackout nosedives five positions to #7, selling another 86,700 units (second-week sales of the disc suffered a 70 percent decline), while Taylor Swift's self-titled LP follows at #8 with 67,600 scans.
All told, five new releases entered next week's chart in the prestigious top 10, including Angels & Airwaves' sophomore LP, I-Empire, which sold 66,500 copies to take the #9 slot, and Cassidy's first post-prison outing, B.A.R.S.: The Barry Adrian Reese Story, which scanned 63,200 copies to debut at #10. Meanwhile, a dozen other titles are making their first appearances on the chart this week, including Latin reggaetón duo Wisin & Yandel's Los Extraterrestres, which enters at #14 with 52,600 copies sold. Country act Little Big Town follow at #24, selling 34,600 copies of their new one, A Place to Land, while the soundtrack to "American Gangster" takes the #36 spot with 21,000 scans.
Still on Top: The Greatest Hits, the third compilation album to be issued by Van Morrison in 2007, debuts at #48 with 17,900 copies snatched up, while Jimmy Buffett's Live in Anguilla sold 15,350 copies to enter at #54. Hvarf/Heim, Sigur Rós' double-CD compilation, follows at #58 with 14,500 scans, and coming in at #85 with 10,500 copies sold is Demon Hunter's Storm the Gates of Hell. Nas' Greatest Hits comes in at #124 with 6,900 sold.
Nonpoint return from obscurity at the #130 position, having sold 6,400 copies of their new one, Vengeance, while Aliados de la Sierra's Con Los Ojos Cerrados follows at #137 with 6,000 scans. American songstress Sara Groves' Tell Me What You Know debuts at #194 with 4,300 scans, and at #196, with sales of 4,200, it's Andrea Bocelli's The Best of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere.

dral -- the assassination of Giuliano and attempt on the life of Lorenzo -- are the subject of the last pages of the Laudatio domus.
The priesthood, says Caroli, is guilty at every level of its hierarchy, from the pope to the lowest order of secular clergy, of lese majesty. As the principal catalyst of the anti-Medicean conspiracy, clerical power was used in violation of every code of law: not only canon and civic law, but also natural law. This power desecrated the cathedral of the city in the most solemn moment of the liturgy, and attempted to eliminate by death those who governed the signoria by legitimate right. The conspiracy attempted to throw into chaos the peaceful and serene status of Florence, and to stain the honor of Italy and Christendom: "pacificum et tranquillum civitatis statum tanta sevitia perturbare ac totius pene Itahe et christiane religionis honorem in dedecus et infamiam evocare." 29 The antiecclesiastical backlash on the part of the civil authorities, a consequence of the conspiracy, is considered more than justified by Caroli who, by the way, had been an eyewitness to the events in the cathedral.
After the events of April 1478, Caroli identified the legitimate Florentine government with the Medicean oligarchy, firmly opposing political interference by the Church or the pope. This turnabout had a decisive influence on the later writings of Caroli, from the early 1480s until his death in 1503, altering their content in highly significant ways.
For the English version of this essay, and for bibliographical suggestions, the author wishes to thank Professors Christine Smith, Edward Chaney, and William Hood, friends and colleagues in research at the Harvard Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, Villa I Tatti, Florence. Particular gratitude is due to Melissa M. Bullard; our conversations about Caroli have had a determining influence on this paper, as they have on my other two essays devoted to the Florentine Dominican. The notes to this essay were put into English by Timothy Verdon.

Which continent do you think has the fastest take-up of "mobile money" in the world?
Most people probably don't think of Kenya as an innovation and technology hub, but in 2007 it became the launching pad for M-Pesa, a transformative mobile phone-based platform for money transfer and financial services. Since then, M-Pesa has undergone explosive growth: in 2013, a staggering 43 percent of Kenya's GDP flowed through M-Pesa, with over 237 million person-to-person transactions. M-Pesa is nearly ubiquitous in the daily lives of Kenyans due to a range of services that include money deposit and withdrawal, remittance delivery, bill payment, and microcredit provision.
China's long-awaited international payment system to process cross-border yuan transactions is ready, and may be launched as early as September or October, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Citigroup Inc. will pull out of the Massachusetts retail banking market in January, closing its remaining 17 branches and taking with it the sponsorship of the Citi Performing Arts Center in Boston's Theater District.
The payments business is becoming extremely commoditised. Fast and accurate services are key success factors that you can gain from the Payments Technology Conference Korea 2015 (17-18 September 2015, The Palace Hotel Seoul).

I am from Michigan and I really had my heart set on getting surgery in Lansing, MI which is only 30 minutes from where I live. I was happy to find the price was $3,4xx (?) but that did not include anesthesia or facility. After everything was taken into account, it was about $11,000. Way out of my range.
Chapel hill/Dr.Berger comes up SO much, and at $5,400 their price isn't bad either, but I just feel like something isn't right, it seems so commercial.
I am almost certain I will go with Dr. Levin in Louisville, KY. Outpatient price is listed at $6,200, and I have a pretty high pain tolerance. My tubal ligation surgery was an outpatient procedure, and not just after birth. ALso, he has the "free" infertility do-overs if the surgery doesn't work. I just have so much faith that things will go right. I am sooooo excited to get started and so happy I found this page to share all my hopes and setbacks.
Xavier and I are keeping this a secret from everyone, only my mother knows that this surgery is a for-sure go. God willing, of course.

Intel launched their 22nm Silvermont-microarchitecture SoCs today that formerly beared the Bay Trail codename and when Phoronix first reported on the graphics side of it was known as Valley View. The "Bay Trail" devices will target tablets, 2-in-1 devices, all-in-ones, laptops, and even desktops. Intel says the new Atom Z3000 Series is their most powerful SoC for tablets to date on Android and Windows.
New devices powered by the low-power Intel hardware is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. 64-bit tablets, however, aren't expected until 2014.
The Atom Z3000 processor is a quad-core CPU with Intel Burst Technology 2.0 and has 2MB of L2 cache. Z3000-based tablets Intel says will be as low as $199 USD.
For laptops/desktops/2-in-1s, the Bay Trail M line will be marketed as the Intel Pentium N3510 and Intel Celeron N2910, N2810 and N2805 processors. The higher-end SKUs will be the Pentium N3000 and Celeron N2000 and the desktop "Bay Trail D" models will be the Intel Pentium J2850, Intel Celeron J1850 and Intel Celeron J1750. Pricing on these systems starts at $199 USD.
More details on today's Bay Trail announcement can be found from the Intel Newsroom.

In a very short period of time, the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament has become one of the most highly-scouted events of its kind. Last season, over 200+ scouts attended the event, which featured almost every NHL team and NCAA Division I school.

Capullito De Oro Group
The loan they're getting will benefit small business entrepreneurs like Hilda. She says she has been with Pro Mujer for 16 loan cycles, having joined on the invitation of a friend who's a member. Currently Hilda has a business selling baby clothes. She started three years ago with baby caps and later expanded her merchandise with loans from Pro Mujer.
The loan Hilda's going to get is to increase her capital by buying baby clothes from the wholesale vendors in the city of El Alto to sell in her stall. This type of work allows her to generate income to support her household to the extent possible, because she's married and has three children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer she says the health field and the savings.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Hilda es integrante, ella indica que hace diez y seis ciclos que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de ropa de bebe; este negocio lo emprendió hace trece años atrás, iniciando con gorras de bebe, posteriormente amplio su mercadería con los financiamientos obtenidos en Pro Mujer.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de ropa de bebe) que adquirirá de las vendedoras mayoristas de la ciudad de El Alto y posteriormente lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener en lo posible a su hogar pues ella es casada y tiene tres hijos.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Portland-area man says he was stung on the elbow by a scorpion on a plane as he was flying from Seattle to Anchorage.
Jeff Ellis of West Linn told KPTV he was trying to sleep on a red-eye Alaska Airlines flight June 17 when he felt something inside his sleeve and tried to brush it away.
When he felt the crawling again he picked up the scorpion with a napkin. Then he felt burning like a bee sting. Ellis was checked by two doctors on board and medics on the ground.
The flight originated from Austin, Texas, where Alaska Airlines officials believe the scorpion got on board.
Ellis says the airline offered him 4,000 frequent flier miles and two round-trip tickets.

About LEAP:
The Local Enterprise Assistance Program (LEAP) is Liberia's largest and oldest continuously operating microfinance institution with 13 branches across the country. Founded in 1994, the non-profit organization has survived periods of civil war and severe socio-economic hardship. LEAP seeks to help rebuild post-conflict Liberia through its group and individual loans to micro- and small-scale entrepreneurs, and puts emphasis on lending to women.
Additional Information
Note on LEAP:During routine partner monitoring, Kiva learned that LEAP's delinquency data may be understated due to technical problems with their reporting software. Because this report is key to our analysis of the risk of this partner, delinquency or default rates on loans to this partner may be higher than we expect. For further details, see LEAP's partner page on Kiva.

has anyone had any luck with a wireless on a burley canto type bent?
has anyone had any luck with a wireless on a burley canto type bent?
Transmitters have a max range of 70cm. Measure the distance from the transmitter to the computer and that will tell you whether you can merrit a go at it.Originally Posted by Farrier
The wireless works very good on my Canto. Signet-sport ???. Sensor on rear wheel and receiver/readout on left handlebar. You have to position the magnet about 5" from the rim, but it has stayed put for 144 mile ride and is very accurate if you get the wheel size correct.
I just switched to a 26x2.19 Bantrager? Comfort on the rear, and a 20x2.19 Kenda Contact on the front. WAY better ride, and nice tread for puncture resistance. Had to change the settings on the cycloputer but it picked up right away.

As long as coach Jim Larranaga has assistant Chris Caputo on his staff, Mason will always land great talent.
Caputo never ceases to amaze this school, as he aided in landing Sherrod Wright, the No. 32 shooting guard in the 2009-10 recruiting class, according to ZAGSBLOG.
Wright visited Mason a few weeks ago, and made his decision early Friday. Wright chose Mason over Central Florida, Kansas State and South Carolina.
Wright completes the 2010 recruiting class, becoming the sixth recruit to commit to Mason for the upcoming season.
Look out CAA, we are in business now, and will be a force for years to come. Congrats to Larranaga, Caputo and the entire Mason staff for landing this future CAA POY!

Columbus Downtown High School
& Career Center
Public Schools are an important part of any community, and that fact makes us very proud to host one of the best schools in the city.
In January 2009, the Columbus Downtown High School & Career Center opened its doors on Fourth Street. Designed to house up to 800 students, the state-of-the-art facility has a three-story library and resources that make it the destination for students interested in business and technology or vocational programs.
The school offers areas of specialization in fields like business, engineering, information technology and culinary arts. There's even a cosmetology program.
The unique Downtown location allows students convenient access to colleges and universities as well as internships and job placement with major central Ohio corporations.
And the new school also increases the involvement of Columbus City Schools in our urban community. The school system has pledged to make the corner block at Mound and Fourth streets a point of pride for Downtown and the District.

PALM COAST, Fla. -- An armed robbery suspect didn't get what he wanted, but he did get away.
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office reported a robbery shortly after 3 a.m. today at the Microtel Inn near the intersection of Palm Coast Parkway and Interstate 95.
MORE: Burglary Victim Held at Gunpoint, Shoots One Suspect in Head
According to a statement from the FCSO, the clerk reported that he left the desk to take care of a laundry problem, and when he returned a suspect grabbed him and pointed a handgun at his face.
The man reportedly threatened to shoot the clerk and wanted access to the safe. Only the manager can open the safe, the clerk told the suspect, and she's in the back.

The man ordered the clerk to get the manager, but when the clerk approached her, she refused.
Unable to get into the safe, the suspect tied up the clerk and stole his wallet. The clerk said he last saw the suspect running across the parking lot.
The suspect is described as a black male, 6'3" or 6'4" in his late 20s or early 30s with a tear drop tattoo near one eye and an oval-shaped birthmark on one cheek.
"We need to find this man and get him off the street," said Flagler County Sheriff Donald Fleming.

text: I can see a real benefit to the bike registry. My bike is cheap by most standards. Bought many years ago for around $300. But it has significant value to me and I'd not want to call my insurance agent in case of a loss. But my bike does not have a manufacture's serial number. Can I still register it at NBR? Also, I do have it registered with the local police. Is that sufficient?

Best Uses
I bought this for my son's birthday party. I received many compliments on it. Several people asked me where I got it. I told everyone what a great deal I got. I loved having my son's picture on the banner. That definitely made it stand out.
Best Uses
Great designs and rich colors and would like to buy more for the occassions.

Best Uses
Ordered for my son's 1st birthday, which in my culture is a 200-person event. It was better than I expected! The material is a durable vinyl, and I chose to have his picture included. It came out just great. I'm also super-pleased with what I got for the price. I ordered a similar banner from one of the popular office stores a few years back, and it cost 3 times as much for a much lesser-quality and smaller product. Plus I got his picture on it!
Service and delivery comments:
Produce arrived rolled up in a hard-cardboard cylinder by UPS. Came very quickly and in great condition.

I hung this banner up for my sons 5th birthday party. His picture came out perfect! It was very affordable and the quality was fantastic!
Best Uses
This is the 2nd year that I have ordered personalized photo banners for each of my 4 children's annual birthday bash picnic. The Basketball design was perfect for my 2 year old son and his sports themed party. The children took their team picture under the banner and it looked amazing! The guests all commented on how good the banners looked and asked details about them which I gladly shared. I can't wait for next year to see what theme the kids pick so I can order their banners again! Thank you for a great job yet again!
