Time-honored as one of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz, McCoy Tyner's powerful style infuses the repertoire of the best jazz pianists today. Among his many notable projects, McCoy recorded the solo piano Echoes of a Friend in 1974 to celebrate his years with The John Coltrane Quartet and in homage to his great friend Coltrane. Now forty years later, Echoes With A Friend celebrates McCoy's music and artistry in an inter-generational concert featuring A-list jazz pianists who credit McCoy as a primary influence. Carrying that influence forward for future generations, each Echoes performer will reveal McCoy's impact through solo performances and with McCoy's trio rhythm section. The program's highlight will be McCoy joining his trio to mark his own dynamic longevity.

Evolving Ethics May Be Eroding Journalism
Martin, Michael, St. Louis Journalism Review
A changing code of ethics may be to blame for the public's largely negative perception of journalists, University of Missouri (MU)-Columbia researchers claim in a new study.
MU journalism professors Bonnie Brennen and Lee Wilkins compared two early codes, the 1923 American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) code and the 1934 American Newspaper Guild (ANG) code, with the 2003 New York Times code of ethics.
They found several significant changes that reflect the changing demands of the journalism marketplace--once privately owned, newspapers now publicly trade alongside thundering media giants that grow fatter every year.
"The work by the journalism faculty at the University of Missouri puts into sharp relief the astonishing differences between pre-World War II ideals and the present reality," said Rich Hanley, graduate programs director at the Quinnipiac University School of Communications in Hamden, Conn. "Their study is a great service to the profession and should trigger discussions on the value of ethical codes."
Code of the Times"
"The ASNE code set out to maintain the rights and dignity of the profession and tried to establish ethical standards for journalistic conduct," said MU's Brennen. "For example, the ASNE code says that invasions of privacy should be avoided unless the public warrants such intrusion, and editors are asked to not publish unofficial charges without giving the people the opportunity to defend themselves."
The ANG code, Brennen and Wilkins found, insists that reporters respect the rights of individuals by crafting factual reports that accurately represent unbiased accounts.
Unlike the other two codes, The New York Times code primarily addresses conflicts of interest that may affect the company's bottom line.
The Times code, for instance, prohibits staff members from freelance work that may compete with the newspaper.
Additionally, "staff members may not appear on broadcasts that directly compete with the Times' own offerings on television or the Internet."
By also interpreting "conflict of interest" broadly, Brennen and Wilkins claim, the Times code places its economic health on an equal footing with the public trust, deepening "one of the main fault lines in the profession: the tension between economic goals and public service."
"That's the great question of our age: how do you balance the premises of Wall Street with the public trust?" said Charles Davis, editorial department chair of the University of Missouri School of Journalism. "That question is at the heart of a battle for the very soul of journalism."
Finally, where the ANG and ANSE codes focus on accuracy through careful evaluation of sources and the information they provide, the Times code makes no mention of these issues.
Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass may thus be the result of an evolving marketplace that has largely bypassed journalism's early traditions. Both reporters for prominent publications--Blair at The New York Times and Glass at the New Republic--ignored traditional ethics in hot pursuit of a journalistic tradition--the best-selling scoop.
"If the recent Jayson Blair incident is any indication, management's financial concerns--as articulated in the ethics code--have their parallels in real life," Wilkins said. "The emphasis reveals something central about the profession: concerns about financial profitability do remain on an equal footing with journalistic duty and service."
The Great Debate
"Journalism is not a product, like a widget or a bar of soap," Davis told SJR.
Nonetheless, its role as a profit center may be contributing to a "cultural drift in the mission of journalism that ultimately will diminish the role of journalism in society and lessen its impact in the discussion of important public affairs," said DePauw University communications professor Jeff McCall of Greencastle, Ind. …

One of our 20 Most Anticipated Films Of The Tribeca Film Festival, which kicks off today, "About Alex" already has us impressed by the cast director Jesse Zwick (son of Ed Zwick) has pulled together for his debut. Aubrey Plaza, Max Greenfield ("New Girl"), Maggie Grace, Nate Parker, Max Minghella, Jane Levy and Jason Ritter all feature in the ensemble dramedy, making it one to keep an eye on.
Penned by Zwick as well, the "Big Chill"-esque tale follows seven college friends who reunite for a weekend of fun and togetherness after one of them suffers a breakdown, only to discover that as much as they've drifted apart in the intervening time, old jealousies, flirtations and political differences still flare up. And as you'll see in this exclusive clip, just taking a picture starts a war of words.
"About Alex" premieres on April 17th at BMC Tribeca PAC. Watch below.

Coastal areas have unique importance for many species of birds, offering breeding sites as well as rich sources of food for migratory stopovers. Oceans also support a large number of seafaring birds that depend on healthy waters for feeding and safe islands for nesting.
Booming coastal development and recreational use of beaches are rapidly eroding vital habitat for birds and other wildlife. Overfishing threatens the food supply for birds—and, in the long term, for people, too. Sea-level rise jeopardizes nesting habitat on beaches and islands at the same time that it puts coastal communities at risk. Beaches are critical nesting and migratory habitat for many species, including Piping Plovers, Snowy Plovers, Least Terns, and American Oystercatchers.
Audubon is committed to protecting the vital habitat along America's coasts where people and birds intersect.
Shores: Audubon's beach stewardship program enlists local communities to steer beachgoers away from the most important nesting sites. We also empower members and friends to become a strong voice for responsible coastal management practices. By using sound science, including predictive modeling, we can begin to explore potential habitat impacts from sea-level rise. This is a vital step toward developing strategies to mitigate and offset habitat loss for coastal birds.
Seas: Marine Important Bird Areas hold great promise for stabilizing declining populations of seabirds, including Ashy Storm-Petrels, Kittlitz's Murrelets, and Roseate Terns. Expanding the IBA program to encompass and study vital ocean sites will provide a foundation for Audubon's development and promotion of much-needed regulation of overfishing and other threats to ocean birds and wildlife.
Audubon takes effective action to stabilize and increase populations of at-risk species up and down the Pacific Coast
Project Puffin improves seabird nesting outcomes, helping those populations to return from the brink
Protecting shorebirds in habitats especially vulnerable to development and climate threats
Membership benefits include one year of Audubon magazine and the latest on birds and their habitats. Your support helps secure a future for birds at risk.

Nurses at Hunterdon Healthcare, Flemington, N.J., learned May 13 that they were among an elite group of healthcare systems across the country who have earned redesignation of Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Deborah Zimmerman, RN, DNP, NEA-BC, chair-elect of the Commission on Magnet Recognition, told Hunterdon nurses on a conference call: "It was a unanimous decision by the Magnet Commission to redesignate Hunterdon Healthcare with Magnet status. Examples of their success that we recognized and that put them over the top were being rated No. 1 for patient safety in New Jersey, zero bloodstream infections, excellent inpatient satisfaction scores from Press Ganey, and for Hunterdon Healthcares exemplary leadership, teamwork and superb handling of [Superstorm] Sandy. Hunterdon Healthcare has what Magnet is all about."
According to the ANCC, only about 6% of all healthcare organizations in the U.S. have achieved Magnet recognition since the program began in 1993. It recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing practice and adherence to national standards for the organization and delivery of nursing services.
"We are so proud of this accomplishment," Patricia Steingall, RN, MS, CNO and vice president of patient care services at Hunterdon, said in a news release. "It provides verification of the exceptional care our nurses provide our community. Achieving Magnet status means that Hunterdon has created an environment that supports nursing practice and focuses on professional autonomy, decision-making at the bedside, nursing involvement in the nursing work environment, professional education, career development and nursing leadership."

Be that is it may, they are playing Supernaut, which the real Sabbath will never do again.
The singer's voice is perfectly suited to handle the Ozzy stuff. And I am sure bookings would dry up if they started playing stuff off Tyr.
That said, I was never into tribute bands overall to begin with (still haven't seen Iron Maidens) but I am a big fan of the singer's other band Death On The Radio and she is absolutely performing, the band does justice to this material and they are adding different songs to the set on a regular basis.
When it comes to tribute bands, "Dio Rising" takes the cake. They play stuff from Dio's entire career :rocker:

I have one very good reason why tomorrow is the best time to shop for jeans!
Have you seen this flyer on @GAP_Indonesia or maybe @Fashionesedaily?
I was praying really hard when I heard that GAP is going to throw a special surprise deal that's jeans related. Imagine my excitement when I finally saw this flyer and that they're going to have a special offer on their favourite 1969 jeans. I have a pair of GAP jeans that don't fit me anymore, so I was really seriously thinking of getting a new pair. Especially the colourful jeans, maybe I should give them a try.
Well, worry not, because this post is not just another teaser. We have the real deal for you! GAP has kindly given us the scoop of their deal. What is it?
GAP 1969 jeans for only IDR 196,900? I want!
Mark you calendar, ladies, because this offer is only valid for tomorrow and also only for the first 20 customers in any of GAP outlet.

Students who live outside the Greenwood school district can choose to go to school there anyway, starting next year.
The change is a reversal of a decision the school board made last spring to stop admitting students who lived outside the district.
About 100 students from roughly 30 families who lived in other school districts typically transferred to Greenwood schools until the current school year, when the board closed Greenwood to transfer students.
Board members made that decision after a state law was passed stopping school districts from blocking students with low grades, attendance or behavioral problems from transferring.
Under the law, the only reason a school district can limit the number of transfer students accepted is because of limits on space, and in that case the school must conduct a lottery to decide which transfer students will be accepted.
Greenwood officials stopped accepting transfers because they thought students who weren't earning at least B's or who had problems regularly making it to school would have problems succeeding at a new school because of the stress that can come with getting to know new teachers, classmates and rules.
But that meant school officials had to turn down 100 transfer requests it received last spring, Superintendent Kent DeKoninck said.
Opening Greenwood to transfer students means the school district will be able to offer students and parents exactly the kind of education they are looking for, and expansion projects at Southwest and Westwood elementary schools will help ensure there is enough classroom space for everyone, DeKoninck said.
And the more students who are enrolled, the more money the school district gets from the state to pay for teachers and academic programs, including more technical career courses for students, DeKoninck said.
"For all those reasons, we thought let's do it," DeKoninck said.
About 90 fewer students attended Greenwood this school year, and school officials attributed the
drop in money partially, though
not entirely, to the loss of
transfer students.
Greenwood receives about $5,500 from the state for every student who attends its schools. So if 100 students transfer to Greenwood, the school district would receive an additional $550,000, DeKoninck said.
That kind of cash increase could enable Greenwood to provide more courses and training for students interested in beginning careers immediately after high school, which is a priority for the school district, DeKoninck said.
For now Clark-Pleasant schools, which is Johnson County's fastest-growing school district, is closed to transfer students, while Franklin and Center Grove schools continued to accept students from outside their school districts after the law changed.
While some Indiana school districts have been eager to accept as many transfer students as possible, going so far as to rent
billboard space and bus
students in from other areas, Greenwood doesn't plan to spend a lot of time or money advertising itself in other school districts, DeKoninck said.
"I just don't feel like that's
something we need to do right now," he said.
The school district has transfer information on its website and likely will post fliers in public places, but that's all for now.
Parents who do transfer their children to Greenwood will
have to arrange transportation, DeKoninck said.
Greenwood officials also plan to start creating resources for transfer students, especially those who are having trouble keeping their grades up or making it to class every day, to ensure that they're able to improve their grades and attendance and to ensure they aren't overwhelmed by their new school, DeKoninck said.
For example, principals or other school officials could meet with students to see if anything can be done to ease their transition, DeKoninck said.
"What we would just do is find ways to have special outreach to those kids," he said.
on the move
Here are the details on Greenwood schools' updated
transfer policy:
What's changing
Beginning next school year, Greenwood will accept transfer students from other school districts.
When to apply
Beginning in February
The requirements
Under state law, schools who accept transfer students cannot stop a student from transferring for academic or attendance reasons. The only reason a school district can limit the number of transfer students is if a school is low on space — in that case, a lottery for transfer students must be conducted.
Why the change
Before closing its schools to transfers, Greenwood typically had 100 transfer students per year. If that number continues, that could mean more than $500,000 in revenue for the school district.

Firestarter (original 1980; edition 1981)
by Stephen King
Work details
Firestarter by Stephen King (1980)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was a very good read. The story was a bit slow, but it kept my interest. Also, I really liked the ending. It was just perfect for the story.
Interesting book about a "special" girl and how her father tries to protect her. Good read.
Andy McGee and his daughter Charlie are on the run from The Shop, a secret government agency. Andy and his now deceased wife took part in the trial of a drug, Lot Six, which gave them special powers and gave their daughter the power of pyrokenesis. The book was slow in spots which is why I didn't give it a higher rating. To me the book was most interesting during the time spent on the Manders farm and when Charlie is using her powers.
In the 1960s, Andy McGee volunteered to be the subject of a psychological experiment in which he was injected with an experimental hallucinogenic substance. He got two things out of that experience: a meeting with the woman who would be his wife, and an ability to influence people's minds. Now, he and his wife (who received some minor telekinetic abilities) have a daughter whose abilities far exceed either of theirs: she can start fires with her mind. And the evil government organization that originally ran the experiment is very, very interested in that little girl.
This was an OK read, not King's best and not his worst. It lacks any of the sense of creepiness that he sometimes does so well, but, although it's not exactly a taut novel, it also lacks the bloat that characterizes a lot of his later work. There are some nice, well-done details about the way the characters experience their psychic abilities, but other, larger, aspects of the story are far less convincing. And the whole premise has a slightly tired, entirely unoriginal feel to it that's unusual for King, although I suppose it was less of a cliche in 1980, when the novel was first published.
Listened to this audiobook from the library, using Hoopla.
Classic King. Kinda horror, kinda scifi, kinda family in peril chase story. Book jumps right in, showing, main character Charlie and her father Andy, on the run from mysterious organization. We find that the organization is a secretive government organization (called the Shop) who want Andy and Charlie because they happen to have psychic powers. Charlie is the firestarter and Andy can "push" people with his mind to influence them (kinda like a cross between Scanners and the Force). In true King fashion, we jump back and forth to find out their backstory, where we learn that Andy and his future wife were part of a drug experiment when they were in college that gave them these psychic powers. When they later get married and have a child, we find that their abilities are passed along in full (and more) to their daughter.
Andy and Charlie are eventually captured and taking to a facility where they separate the two and try to find the secret to Charlie's ability and how they might control her. Needless to say, again in true King fashion, things come to a head and do not go well at all for the Shop. Its a good, fun, pulpy read. Just what you'd expect from 80's era Stephen King

New Amsterdam Digital Gallery Now AvailableThe Municipal Archives has digitized early colonial collections. Ordinances drawn from the Records of New Amsterdam for the period 1647-1661 and their corresponding translations are now available at archives.nyc
Digitizing the records and posting them online are the first steps in making the City Archives more accesible.
These 17th century documents show the foundation of City government. There are several ordinances regulating the sale of alcohol, the price of bread, and the maintenance of chimneys and fireplaces. The records also depict tensions in the new settlement, prohibiting the sale of alcohol to the native people but also prohibiting traders from going inland to fraudently trade with the natives.
Calling the digitization project "inspired", Russell Shorto, author of The Island at the Center of the World urges viewers to "Roam through these documents - in the 17th century originals or in the 19th century English translations" and notes that "a realization dawns on you: New York was New York right from the start."Please visit archives.nyc

Taking a moment away from her "Extra" hostess gig, Maria Menounos rocked the cover of Women's Health magazine's July/August 2013 issue.
While showing off her toned tummy for the front page shoot, the 34-year-old entertainment icon dished about her 15 year relationship with Keven Undergaro and the meals she just can't get enough of.
Making the most of her 35th birthday, Maria Menounos took to the beaches of Mykonos, Greece yesterday (June 19) for some sun-soaked fun.
Joined by her boyfriend Keven Undergaro, the stunning EXTRA-TV presenter frolicked around in the ocean and showed plenty of PDA while friends and shutterbugs looked on.
Bringing a bevy of talented individuals together, stars flocked to the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Monday (June 10) for the 2013 Critics' Choice Television Awards.
As Americans watched the horrific events unfold at Monday's (April 15) Boston Marathon, celebrities took to Twitter to express their thoughts.
The annual race, which draws runners from all over the world, was held in memory of the teachers and students who passed away in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Given the fact that she's been sporting a diamond ring on her left hand ring finger, it's no wonder Maria Menounos has sparked engagement rumors as of late.
However, the "Extra" hottie set the record straight while subbing for Kelly Ripa on "Live with Kelly and Michael" this morning (March 28).
She's never one to miss out on a killer party, and earlier tonight (February 24) Maria Menounos showed up at the 2013 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
The "Extra" cutie was all smiles as she shuffled through the arrivals area, stopping to pose for the shutterbugs in a Romona Keveza dress before hosting her red carpet event.
While the Super Bowl may still be a day away, A-listers gathered for the Celebrity Beach Bowl on Saturday (February 2) in New Orleans.
The brainchild of DIRECTV Vice-President of Public Relations Jon Gieselman, the internationally televised event is played by stars on over one million pounds of sand.
Gearing up for the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, the stars came out to the Chateau Marmont for the Entertainment Weekly Pre-SAG Party hosted by Essie and Audi on Saturday (January 26).
Looking flawless in a strapless multicolored flowing gown was Nina Dobrev, while Alyssa Milano dared to wear a lacy semi-sheer long-sleeved blue dress with matching heels and a gold belt.

Celebrities Are Economic Hypocrites When They Attack Free Markets
December 11, 2013
John Stossel posts at Reason, that he's annoyed that so many Hollywood celebrities hate the system that made them rich. The reason is that they decry the very system that made them rich in the first place. Are they hypocrites? At least in speech, the answer is yes.

Shaw's Release No Stunner
By John Helsley
follow on twitter @jjhelsley
The news of OSU granting Jarred Shaw his release was unexpected, yet hardly stunning. The signing of 6-11 Philip Jurick, combined with the Cowboys' commitment to playing fast next fall, likely sent Shaw packing.
OSU coaches always felt Shaw had upside. And we saw it, too, in glimpses of games here and there — remember the Kansas game in the Big 12 Tournament? — if never in abundance.
The slender Shaw was hampered somewhat by Chron's Disease, an inflammatory illness of the intenstines, which affected both his ability to gain weight and his cardio fitness. Shaw was a polite kid who always offered a smile and he seemed to be well-liked by teammates.
But players want to play. And Shaw's place in the program going forward was in question, especially with Jurick on board, so he's seeking a transfer.
Cowboys coach Travis Ford has vowed to run and gun next season, making best use of a roster that finally offers the athletes able to fit the system we've all awaited since Ford was hired from UMass three years ago. Even Jurick's role is somewhat sketchy, although his size and proven rebounding and shot-blocking skills won't go to waste.
But if the Cowboys run with regularity next season, it's easy to project plentiful playing time for Markel Brown, Keiton Page, Jean-Paul Olukemi, Mike Cobbins, LeBryan Nash, Reger Dowell and Cezar Guerrero. And Darrell Williams' status remains in flux while his legal situation plays out. Fred Gulley and Brian Willliams are also in the mix. And then there's Jurick.
Shaw had to understand it all. So his departure is no stunner in a roster overhaul that will require a roster for 2011-12.
Ray Penn and Roger Franklin have also departed, meaning three key pieces of Ford's 2009 recruiting class are gone.
The question now is when will OSU fill Shaw's scholarship? The Cowboys hold out hope that La Salle transfer Aaric Murray heads their way, although all indications are that he'll go to West Virginia. OSU is also involved with Chicago prep power forward Jamari Traylor, who may need to go to junior college first.
Ford won't just add a body, not with a bevy of top prospects supposedly on the radar in what is considred a rich recruiting class nationwide next year.

Gas for Google: Researcher develops fuel for Internet search engine
Before the 21st century, the word
"google" might have conjured up images of fairy tales or cartoons, but today Google has become as common as the verb "drive."
And that
's just what Google does — it drives computer users to their destination.
Now, a University of North Texas researcher is helping create high octane fuel that will drive computer users to more destinations than they thought possible.
Google Print, a division of Google, Inc., provided UNT researcher Rada Mihalcea with a $107,112 grant to continue her research on information retrieval to benefit Google Print
's online electronic database of this kind of information.
The Google grant relates to her research in the field of natural-language processing, which looks at how language is used in information technology.
Mihalcea extracts information from texts online and works to create a program that could sort through large texts. The program will sort through large texts available online and create keyword indexes and short summaries of the texts.
Her research could allow a computer user to automatically generate indexes or summaries of the documents they retrieve in response to a search engine query, which will ease and speed up access to information stored in these documents.
There are millions of books and an enormous amount of information already available online, which is too hard to process and evaluate without this sort of access to concise information," Mihalcea says.
Mihalcea has already developed technology that can summarize short texts such as news articles, and she plans to use this technology as the foundation for her research to sum up larger texts such as books.
She says creating a program to determine the important themes of larger texts is challenging, since the important information could be spread out in megabytes of text and may be harder to locate.
's research could help Google Print effort provide the means to generate indexes or summaries for books stored in electronic format, which could help users determine if they are interested in a particular book.
Google is currently working with libraries at Harvard University, Stanford University, the University of Michigan, the University of Oxford and the New York Public Library to digitally scan books and provide databases with specific book content.
A huge catalog of books that are already in the public domain as well as books that publishers have submitted to Google, are currently available on print.google.com.

This article talks about REITs and gives you the basics of what all is involved with a REIT. If you have never heard of REITs then this is an article that you need to read now. Check it out below.
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a corporation that has been established to make money in real estate. A REIT uses funds , pooled from a group of investors, to buy buildings, or, less often to buy mortgages on buildings.Most REITs specialize in a particular type of real estate-such as hotels, shopping centers,self-storage units, hospitals and nursing homes, housing,or office buildings-and may concentrate their purchases in a specific geographic area.
As with most corporations , the REITs management team is responsible for running a profitable business, which means,with REITs in particular, generating a steady income of revenue for its investors.Equity REITs that invest directly in buildings generate income from rent, which is, in turn,paid to investors as a monthly or quarterly dividend.Dividends often increase as rents increase, which means the investment can act as a hedge against inflation.
On the downside, rents, and therefore dividends, may drop if there is a market downturn and rental spaces go empty.That can happen , too, if the properties the REIT owns aren't attractive to potential renters or if the market for a particular type of property is saturated.Because of the way REITs pay income,they provide a relatively stable cash flow,which may make them a suitable investment for people who are looking for a supplemental, steady stream of income.
For example REIT income may be used to bolster pension or other retirement income,pay college expenses,set up a charitable remainder trust,or make new investments.There are 2 ways you can invest in a REIT. Some REITs are public corporations , listed on a national exchange, like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the Nasdaq Stock Market or on a quotation service , like the OTC Bulletin Board.
You can buy and sell shares in these REITs the same way you do shares in any publicity traded company.Private, non-traded REITs on the other hand, are available only through direct participation programs (DPPs) offered by the REIT's sponsor and distributed through brokerage firms or other financial institutions.A non-traded REIT usually pools money from 1000 or more investors to purchase the properties it will manage.
As an investor , you are part owner of the actual physical shareholder in the REIT corporation.To invest in a non-traded REIT, you need to meet financial suitability standards-often a minimum of $ 150.000 net worth (excluding your home or car) as well as make a minimum initial investment established by the REIT.Non-trade REITs,as their name implies-have no formal secondary market-no NYSE or Nasdaq where you can liquidate your shares or resell your interest.
Since a REIT's investment term is typically between 8 and 12 years, and may be longer, you'll need to be able to do without that capital you've invested in the REIT for that period of time.As with any other investment, you should research the REIT before you commit your money.With both types of REIT's you should review the expertise and track record of the management team,and the REIT's business plan and sources of outside capital.
For a traded REIT, you'll want to evaluate debt levels and performance history.With a non-traded REIT, you may want the opinion of a third-party professional evaluator,which your brokerage firm is likely to have secured.

Bounded Choice: True Believers and Charismatic Cults
Bounded Choice: True Believers and Charismatic Cults
Lalich's fascinating discussion includes her in-depth interviews with cult devotees as well as reflections gained from her ownexperience,as a high-ranking member of the Democratic Workers Party. Incorporating classical sociological concepts such as "charisma" and "commitment" with more recent work on the social psychology of influence and control, she develops a new approach for understanding how charismatic cult leaders are able to dominate their devotees. She shows how members are led into a state of "bounded choice," in which they make seemingly irrational decisions within a context that makes perfect sense to them and is, in fact, consistent with their highest aspirations.
In addition to illuminating the cult phenomenon in the United States and around the world, this important book also addresses our pressingneed to know more about the mentality of those true believers who take extreme or violent measures in the name of a cause.

Dead fish rumble: Court throws Rahm off the Chicago mayoral ballot; "I have no doubt…we will prevail"
Hoo-boy. Crook County is all shook up today following the Illinois Appellate Court's decision to throw Rahm Emanuel off the Chicago mayoral ballot over his residency troubles:
The Illinois Appellate Court has tossed mayoral frontrunner Rahm Emanuel off the ballot, reversing the decision of a lower court. The Appellate Court reached a 2-1 decision to remove Emanuel.
Appellate judges Thomas Hoffman and Shelvin Louise Marie Hall ruled against Emanuel. Justice Bertina Lampkin voted in favor of keeping President Obama's former chief of staff on the Feb. 22 ballot.
…A hearing officer, the full Chicago Board of Elections, and a Cook County Circuit Court judge ruled earlier that Emanuel is eligible to run for mayor.
Illinois state law says a candidate for mayor is required to have lived in the municipality where he is running for at least one year prior to the election. But exceptions are made for national service. Attorney Burton Odelson, who led the charge to get Emanuel removed, argued that "national service" would only apply to military service, not serving in the White House as Emanuel did.
But Emanuel's legal team has argued that he always intended to return to Chicago, noting that he maintained ownership of his Ravenswood home.
In ruling in favor of Emanuel earlier this month, Cook County Circuit Court Associate Judge Mark Ballard agreed that Emanuel kept his residency in Chicago, ruling that "it didn't matter" that he went to D.C. to work for Obama.
Emanuel had a commanding lead heading into the election less than four weeks away.
Just wondering: Will all of Rahm's Hollywood hot shot donors and other $100,000 Club members get their money back?
Here's a link to the court decision (PDF).
2:35pm Eastern. Rahm gave a short statement to the press (no profanity delay buttons were necessary today). An appeal is on the way. He brushed off suggestion that politics played a role in court decision and said: "I have no doubt in the end we will prevail."
Then, he cackled.

Amazing and Nutritious Health Drinks
Most of the drinks you will find in the market today are blood sugar spikes just waiting to happen. However, you might still need a little fizz or flavor than natural water provides. In such a case, you only need to keep it simple. It is actually advisable to stick to natural, fresh ingredients. As far as possible, use small pieces of fruit to make your own healthy drinks at home. To quench thirst, the best choice is water. This has been the case for a long time and things are not likely to change much in the future. Of course, you can also go for tea and coffee – although these beverages are better when you do not add any sweeteners or sugar. Additionally, it is important to limit or consume some drinks in moderation. These include such beverages as milk, fruit juice and diet drinks. Alcohol is also healthy – but in moderation although this pretty much depends on your particular circumstances. In the same way, it is wise to avoid such sugary drinks as energy drinks, sports beverages and soda.
Water is often the best choice – especially if you have quick and easy access to safe drinking water. This is mostly because water is calorie – free, easy to find and a great source of nourishment. Water also provides your body with just about everything you might need. Pure H2O also restores the fluids you lose through sweating, breathing, metabolism and the eradication of waste from your body. Similarly, it is the perfect beverage for re-hydrating your system and quenching your thirst.
How Much Water Exactly?
It isn't easy to estimate exactly how much water you should drink on any given day. Some specialists and health practitioners advise men to take at least 15 cups and women at least 11 cups on a daily basis. Of course, this is just a general guide – not the daily target. For most people, about 80% of the water content they get comes from some beverages and the rest from food. Water is a sugar – free and excellent calorie – free choice. If you are used to drinking sweet beverages, then chances are that the water will initially taste bland. However, you can easily increase your daily intake of this popular drink by spicing up your water. Try some of the following beverages:
Infused water
Most stores stock expensive flavored water. Still, it is now possible to make your flavored water from the comfort of your own home. To do this, consider adding the following to a pitcher or a cold glass of water:
- Sliced zest or citrus fruits (grapefruit, orange, lime or lemon)
- Crushed fresh mint
- Sliced and peeled ginger or sliced pieces of cucumber
- Crushed berries
- Sparkling Water with Juice
Juicy sparking drinks contain lots of calories. To avoid them, you can make your own at home using 12 ounces of normal sparkling water and an ounce of natural juice. If you need additional flavor, think about adding fresh herbs (like mint) and sliced citrus fruits.
Beverages to Limit
In conclusion, keep in mind that the worst drinks are those that are typically loaded with lots of sugar. These contain calories that may end up harming your health, increasing your weight and raising your risk of getting gout, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

About G.J.
Jones n. An addiction or craving
As a self-proclaimed gardening addict, I love all things gardening. I've learned and grown a lot over the years here in Zone 6, recently upgraded from 5.
Fortunately gardening can be a good addiction. I've become a Penn State Master Gardener and have been growing my own fruit, vegetables and herbs now for more than 25 years, including the many long days running a restaurant and bakery with my husband (Mandolin Jones).
I was a licensed food processor during that time and we published our first cookbook as well.
I have also had a few gardening articles published, and was thrilled this year to be accepted into the Garden Writers Association. Another wonderful opportunity arose to write for the Horticulture Magazine's website, and then later for GRIT magazine's online blog.
Our restaurant days are long gone, but we retain our love of food -especially homegrown.
Funny, we are both still working in some way with food, I guess its in the blood.
The best thing I have found is that above all else, gardening doesn't have to be complicated. I will share what I know and be there if you have questions.
Blogging is just another fun way for me to share what I love; I enjoy the interactive nature of social networking.
Am I trying to get others addicted? Well, hmm…we'll see.
