Full SubmissionSMART GRIDS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
As population and industry grows, the world is building new transmission and gas-fired generation plants to meet demand. Most of our electricity and power coming from fossils has lead to a drastically higher electricity rate, as every homeowner and business owner can attest. Also, with the exponential increase in power consumption in developing countries, power cuts and black outs have become quite prevalent. Net metering becomes important here as it not only increases the reliability and security of power distribution, but also manages load distribution efficiently.
Net-metering: The concept
It is an electricity policy for consumers who own small renewable energy facility like wind, solar power and home fuel cells. ?Net? means what remains after consumption and deductions- deduction of any energy outflow from metered energy inflow. The owner receives retail credit for a portion of electricity they generate.
Implementation: (Government and Research role)
The implementation, engineering wise would require a smart grid which is usually an electrical meter that records consumption of electric energy in intervals of an hour or less and communicates that information at least daily back to the utility for monitoring and billing purposes. Apart from that we would require R&D and private players in producing efficient LED, solar panels, wind turbines etc. Government regulations and laws would domestically need to be made friendly to achieve these goals. Fossil fuel subsidy would have to be periodically reduced.
Win-win sustainability: Net metering a vital area for Green economy transition
Green economy essentially means moving from a linear model to cyclical model of use of resources. This can be achieved by integrating production and consumption. This cyclical behavior can be achieved by introducing net metering. This decentralizes production and consumption patterns, distributes right to energy efficiency and energy security across society. Another point in our favor is decoupling energy production and supply from distribution. Thus creating a ?flexible?, marketing mechanism where small producers benefit when they produce since their meters move backwards. Thus we see this as a progressive green-economy parameter for energy security.
Encourage investment in renewable sources of energy from various sections of the society like businesses, organizations and individuals.
Help decrease our reliance on fossil fuels thus checking carbon emissions to an extent.
Foster energy efficiency.
Benefit our utilities and can help stimulate economy.
Reduce the burden of energy generation and distribution from the governments.
Help the government to invest funds on rural empowerment, developing infrastructure, social welfare schemes and sustainable development initiatives as the expenditure on installing new thermal/hydro/ nuclear power plants is reduced. Are a sustainable solution to the conflicts between governments and people in various parts of the world as this reduces the need to acquire large chunks of land for installation of new energy projects.
Give a chance to the governments to focus on providing electricity to the regions which are deprived of it; Can result in huge savings to the consumers using it, thereby leader to better standards of living.
Addresses a major emerging challenge energy security by reducing losses in generation, distribution etc. Lays a strong foundation for Green economy by providing opportunities to green businesses.
Implementation: Cases and practicality of the idea. Strengthening Government Role.
Consumer Net Metering is available in California and is favorable to smaller systems that displace the highest cost electricity, and systems wherein the user's demand load may be managed so that there is a net production of electricity during high cost periods. Thailand introduced the first net-metering in 2002. Thus, it?s a model that has been successful in both developed and developing nations.
The governments should declare strong commitment for decentralizing the power generation and distribution which can enable the introduction of smart grids.
Stronger reforms should be introduced in financial institutions to enable the funding of renewable energy projects at all levels.
Subsidies and incentives should be announced to the consumers of smart grid systems.
Governments should establish an independent agency for monitoring and managing the smart grids. Power purchase agreements should be issued to individual customers after verifying the installed power plants and checking the metering equipment.
How youth can pitch in?
Education and awareness campaigns need their support.
Formulating pilot drives and replicating successful models.
Addressing and realizing stake-holder ship in existing government policy and affairs Promoting the cause creatively to people and lobbying with domestic NGOs and civil societies and government bodies. Youth should be given higher priority in negotiations and consultation. Green entrepreneurship should be given a boost with youth as leaders in the field.

Each week O Heroes sits down with one of our student-athletes to get to know more about them on and off the track. This week's feature is on Allie Woodward, a 5-6 distance runner on the Oregon Women's Cross Country and Track teams.
Allie is currently pursing an undergraduate degree in Journalism with a focus in Public Relations. Not only is she an all-star in the classroom and in the community but she also shines on the track. Most recently, Allie and teammates brought the NCAA Cross Country Title back to Tracktown after she ran a 20:19.5 as Oregon's fourth runner.
Allie's volunteering efforts inspire her teammates to get involved and give back to the Eugene/ Springfield community. Over the past year she has contributed to many O Heroes events. She participated in "O"lympics, worked with youth at Boys & Girls Club of Emerald Valley, volunteered at Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and decorated the Riverbend Hospital for the holidays.
This November Allie spoke on behalf of all O Heroes student-athlete's at Eugene's weekly Oregon Club meeting and was large part in the successes of the Thanksgiving Basket Drive and Support Sport Initiative. A vital member of the O Heroes movement, Allie always strives to put forth her best effort in giving back and has created a lasting impression within the Oregon community.
After graduation, Allie plans to run professionally and work as a public relations representative within the sports business field. She hopes to continue her philanthropic work by starting a camp for young runners and inspire youth to give back.
With the fall term coming to a close, Allie Woodward will be our last Hero of the Week for the 2012 year. Look out for the next Hero on Thursday, January 10th.

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Julia Lezhneva ¦ Intro
Julia Lezhneva
Viaggio in Italia
'Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa' declares Pleasure to Beauty in the oratorio composed by the young Handel during his stay in Italy. 1707 to 1710 – three critical and formative years for 'il caro Sassone' (the dear Saxon) during which time he met Corelli and possibly Vivaldi. 'Leave the thorn and pick the rose,' is exactly what the Russian soprano Julia Lezhneva offers us in her second recital at La Monnaie. Dipping into the repertoire of the masters of the Italian baroque, the young singer uses the fullness, the malleability and the natural pureness of her voice in these virtuoso songs, resonating with all the perfumes of the soul. The Pomo d'Oro orchestra, whose musicians are recognized as amongst the best players of period instruments, will accompany this programme under the baton of the phenomenal violinist Dmitry Sinkovsky.

Outdoor events abound as temperatures finally rise
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Was that really sleet falling across Davidson County on Thursday? Doesn't the calendar say spring has arrived, when nature transitions from the cold, dormant days of winter to the growth and warmth of summer? But worry not, because as the old adage says, if you don't like the weather in North Carolina, just wait, and soon it will change. So temperatures began a climb Friday that should lead to figures in the mid-to-upper 70s by the middle of next week.
Spring signals many things — cleaning, gardening, yard sales, short sleeves and pants, flip flops and more. Many nonprofit agencies also schedule major fundraisers for April and May, and several highly popular events, such as Lexington's Multicultural Festival, also take place. So keep an eye on stories and calendar items in The Dispatch for opportunities to help an agency with a worthwhile cause or find an event that appeals to your interests. Take advantage of the nice weather and enjoy some fellowship with your neighbors.
Adults need to avoid the temptation to allow small children to ride on tractors and lawn mowers. That happens regularly across Davidson County, and most times no accident occurs. However, the potential for tragedy always exists, a fact illustrated this week when a tractor driven by an 82-year-old man accompanied by his 2-year-old grandson collided with a dump truck. Thankfully, there were no life-threatening injuries, but the accident again points out the dangers of young children riding unrestrained on such vehicles. No matter how much a child wants to ride, adults must simply not allow it to happen.
The death of Jeff Smith, the former director of Davidson County Emergency Services, came as a shock. Smith's health struggles were well-known and the reason he retired a month ago. But his 12-year battle with cancer ended Tuesday when he died at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice House in Winston-Salem. Those who worked with him since he first began work as a paramedic in 1981 spoke glowingly of his dedication to county residents and his colleagues. He leaves behind a wife and two young children.
Gaining necessary permits is about to became much easier thanks to a central permitting office in Davidson County. The one-stop shop will speed the process for contractors, builders and others who interact with the planning and zoning, environmental health and building inspections departments. It marks a positive step by county officials to offering better customer service and making the process easier for those in need of permits.

From January to March, Rock and Roll Night School will be held at Harkness Chapel on the Case Western Reserve University campus. These classes will examine the "Roots of Rock" by looking at artists who have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Early Influence category.
This month's class will look at the history and formation of the Blues and how it has shaped many aspects of Rock and Roll. We will listen to and discuss the music of such Blues greats as Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, T-Bone Walker, and Muddy Waters, and Rock artists Cream and The Rolling Stones.
The Rock and Roll Night School returns to the Rock Hall in style with a class looking at the life and music of one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, The Who. This Class will explore The Who's early singles career until 1969 (when they released the Rock Opera Tommy) and their role in the British invasion. Rising out of the British "Mod" culture in 1965 their early "maximum R&B" sound yielded such hit singles as "My Generation" and "Can't Explain." In 1967 they turned their attention to a more psychedelic sound in the hit "I Can See for Miles."
The Rock and Roll Night School continues its exploration of The Who by looking at their pop music innovation, the Rock Opera. With the release of Tommy in 1969, and Quadrophenia in 1973, The Who developed the idea of a concept album into a full stage show in which each song played an integral part. This class will examine the genre of the Rock Opera by focusing on Tommy and looking at the new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit The Who's Tommy: The Amazing Journey.
This class will look at the history and formation of rhythm and blues and how it has shaped many aspects of Rock and Roll. We will listen to and discuss the music of such rhythm and blues greats as Louis Jordan, Dinah Washington, Professor Longhair, Jimmy Yancey, and Big Joe Turner, and rock artists Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.
This class will look at the history and formation of doo-wop. This vocal based music drew from Tin Pan Ally song structures, gospel vocal stylings, and rhythm and blues grooves. We will listen to and discuss the music of artists such as the Ink Spots, the Mills Brothers, the Orioles, the Chords, the Penguins, the Islanders, and Five Satins.
This month's Rock and Roll Night School explores the life and music of the 2005 American Music Master honoree, Sam Cooke. Sam Cooke was one of the most influential performers in the history of American popular music. His work cut across genres of gospel, R&B and pop, and Cooke is credited as being one of soul music's primary architects. We will listen to and discuss music from his early career with the gospel group The Soul Stirrers up to the recordings made just before his death in 1964.

As we head full-bore into winter, it's time to readdress - and possibly even rearrange - your skincare routine. Healthy skin is the best base for flawless makeup, and the best news is, if your skin is healthy you can get away with wearing less of it.
Practice these few easy habits each day to give your skin the care it needs to be dewy instead of dull, no matter the season.
Estee Lauder Nutritious 2-in-1 foam cleanser, Nordstrom
Cleansing at least once a day is essential. You should always cleanse to remove makeup each night before going to bed. Skin regenerates itself at night, and if it's covered in makeup, it's the perfect breeding ground for breakouts. In the winter especially, look for a cleanser that's not too drying. This one in particular by Estee Lauder is a cleanser and purifying mask in one. Use it daily as a foaming cleanser, and at least once a week, let it sit for a couple minutes to do its work as a mask.
Philosophy Hope in a Jar moisturizer, Ulta
We've already addressed the importance of moisturizer, but during the winter months, it's particularly vital. Cold temps and harsh weather conditions can quickly strip skin of moisture, so be sure to apply it every day before your makeup.
Dermalogica MultiVitamin Thermafoliant, Got Beauty
You might not realize the necessity to exfoliate, but it really is important. Exfoliating helps the skin to shed its dead layers, refine its texture and leave it smooth and refreshed. Exfoliate weekly, and if you have sensitive skin, do a test run on a small area of your face first.
Don't forget that healthy skin starts from the inside. If your body isn't hydrated, your skin won't be either. Even if you're not out in the sun all day, you still need adequate hydration. The more water you drink, the better your skin will feel.
Especially this time of year when we gorge ourselves on every kind of sweet imaginable, take care to monitor and limit your intake of refined sugar. Sugar attacks the proteins in your skin that give it a youthful appearance, and excess sugar can cause dullness, sagginess and even speed up the wrinkling process.
Makeup brushes can get yucky fast, especially if you're using long-wearing products that coat the bristles. Avoid depositing unhealthy oils and old makeup onto your skin by cleaning your brushes once a week. You can do this with a makeup brush cleaner or by simply using the same gentle cleanser you use to clean your face. Gently wet the brush with warm water, apply a small amount of cleaner and lather it up using your fingertips. Take care not to crush or pull the bristles, as that can cause breakage. Lay the brushes flat and allow them to airdry.

The Texan's Tennessee Romance
ISBN13:by Gina Wilkins
After being falsely accused of breaking her sacred lawyer-client vow, Natalie Lofton's main priority was clearing her name and getting her life back. That didn't include taking in an irresistible mutt. Or falling for the sexy handyman who'd come to fix a leaky pipe in her secluded Tennessee cabin.But Casey Walker wasn't your ordinary fixer-upper. The native Texan had his own reasons for retreating to the remote Smoky Mountain resort. There he found a fellow attorney with a soft spot for strays. But what about the tender feelings Natalie was awakening inhim?
He was quite possibly one of the worst maintenance men Natalie Lofton had ever seen. Pretty, but incompetent. Watching as he fumbled with a leaky pipe under her kitchen sink, she wondered where on earth her aunt and uncle had found this twenty-something guy, who had introduced himself only as Casey. She couldn't imagine what had made them think he was qualified to be a handyman for the vacation cabins they owned in the Smoky Mountains around Gatlinburg, Tennessee."Is there anything I can do to help you?" she asked the third time she heard an ominous clang followed by a muttered curse.Her voice from the doorway must have startled him. She saw his nice backside jerk, heard what sounded like a painful thump from beneath the sink and then yet another colorful expletive, bitten off midway.He emerged ruefully rubbing a spot on the top of his head, and she couldn' t help noticing again that he was certainly good-looking. His appearance, she decided, defied simple, one-word adjectives. His hair was just a shade more brown than blond, and his almost-crystalline-bright eyes looked blue one moment, green the next. His jawline was sharply carved, but flashing dimples softened his cheeks. She suspected his personality was just as multifaceted."What did you say?" he asked.She moved closer, bending over to see what he'd been doing under there. How much time did it take to replace a leaky trap, anyway? "I asked if there's anything I can do to help.""Thanks, but I've got it. It won't be much longer.""Uh-huh." She hoped she didn't sound as skeptical as she felt.His polite smile fading, he ducked back under the sink, flipping over to lie on his back this time. She couldn't help noticing that he looked just as good from waist down as he did above. Long legs, flat stomach, nice..."Could you hand me that wrench, please? The big one?"She picked up the biggest wrench she saw in his box and leaned over to hand it to him. "This one?""Yeah, thanks."She watched as he fitted it to the pipe. "Um, don't you think you should--""What?" he asked loudly, unable to hear from beneath the sink. Even as he spoke, he gave the wrench a big twist. She saw the wrench slip, smashing through the thin copper water pipe next to him.Cold water sprayed in a geyser from the broken pipe, hitting her squarely in the face. Gasping, she heard Casey sputter as he lay at the bottom of a veritable waterfall. While she stumbled backward, he scrambled frantically clanging and muttering until he reduced the gushing to a dribble by turning off the water valve."--shut off the water supply?" she finished her question in a grumble."I am so sorry," he said, awkwardly climbing from beneath the sink. He was even wetter than Natalie, if that was possible. His light brown hair dripped around his face, and his blue polo shirt was plastered to his well-defined chest.Which reminded her...Glancing downward, she noted that her thin, yellow cotton shirt had molded itself to her, going almost transparent when wet. She grabbed hold of the front, pulling the fabric away from her body. "I'll go find some towels."He raised his gaze quickly to her face. "Yeah, okay. I'm really sorry."She nodded and darted out of the kitchen, heading straight for the cabin's only bedroom. She wasn't bringing towels to him until she had changed her shirt.Catching a glimpse of herself in the antique oval mirror over the rustic dresser, she groaned. Water trickled from the ends of her chin-length, honey-blond, angled bob. The bare minimum of makeup she'd applied that morning was water-splotched. And her now-transparent shirt made it very clear that she'd donned a comfy--and very thin--nude-toned bra that morning.She changed quickly into a dry, slightly thicker bra and a dark blue, scoop-neck T-shirt. Deciding her jeans weren't damp enough to change, she ran a brush through her wet hair. After dusting a little powder

- Carrier's liability shall not exceed the amount of proven damages. Carrier shall furthermore not be liable for indirect or consequential damages;
- Carrier is not liable for injury to a passenger or for damage to a passenger's baggage caused by property contained in such passenger's baggage.

- Carrier is not liable for damage to fragile or perishable items, electronic equipments, money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware, negotiable papers, securities, or other valuables, business documents, passports and other identification documents, or samples, which are included in the passenger's checked baggage. Once the luggage is checked and accepted by the Carrier for a flight to and from any destinations in the USA limitations provided under this paragraph of 16.3.7 shall not apply. However, all of the flights will remain subject to Carrier's limit of the liability as provided under the applicable laws.
- if a passenger is carried whose age or mental or physical condition is such as to involve any hazard or risk to himself or herself, Carrier shall not be liable for any illness, injury or disability, including death, attributable to such condition or for the aggravation of such condition.

A genuine pain in the ass: proctalgia fugax
I was awakened this morning around 4:30 by a mild case of proctalgia fugax, a type of rectal pain that usually strikes at nite during sleep. Its causes are unknown (if other medical conditions are ruled out) and there is no treatment for it. Luckily, I get them very infrequently, once a year, maybe.
Last nite's episode was, fortunately, a mild one; the pain was of a dull, aching type. However, it was uncomfortable enough to prevent me from going back to sleep and I got up. I walked around the bedroom, went downstairs and came back up, did some stretching and squatting. I figure that if the pain comes when I am in bed, then getting up and moving around should help ease it. The pain did lessen rather quickly. I went back to bed and was able to fall asleep again until about 7:30 when Marissa Cat woke me up. It was way pass her breakfast time.
She will be there again tomorrow morning, but hopefully, proctalgia fugax won't return for a long time.

If Beth DuPree, MD, FACS, founder of the country's first stand-alone breast care hospital, worked as a TV anchor, she'd be saddled with the "perky blonde" label. The day we first meet, in October 2008, she downloads the abridged history of Beth Baughman DuPree in the time it takes us to walk from the waiting area to her office, a grown-up version of a princess bedroom, missing only the canopy bed. She's running late, she says, because she's been on the phone with her sister (DuPree is the youngest of seven kids of a York, Pennsylvania, cop and a homemaker), and over the weekend they'd had to move their parents (her mom has Alzheimer's) out of the house they'd lived in for 46 years. So that was hard. Plus her center's parent company has just gotten a new CEO, one of her employees has been hospitalized with chest pain, and she had to fire another for lying. "But since I'm not one of the people I'm treating, it's a good day anyway," she concludes with a smile.
And for those she's treating today, it's not as bad as it might have been. DuPree, 48, a surgeon and lecturer with a slew of awards, built this five-star, one-stop, mammo-to-mastectomy-to-reconstruction center in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, because the idea of women running to 10 different places for consultations, tests, surgery and adjuvant therapies was anathema to her. That kind of care is designed "for the convenience of hospitals, not patients," she tells me as we reach her office. DuPree especially hates hearing from women who, after finding a lump, are forced to wait weeks to get an appointment with a surgeon at a time when a day can feel like a decade. So in April 2007, she opened her 24-bed, bricks-and-mortar alter ego in the outsize hope of redefining care for the one in eight American women who learn they have breast cancer.
It's 8:15 AM, and DuPree has already worked out for an hour with her "NFL two-time Super Bowl guy" trainer, aka Vaughn Hebron, who may or may not have been trying to kill her with crunches; she has also learned that one of her friends from the gym has just found a breast lump. "She can't wait around" for an appointment, DuPree tells the scheduler. At the Comprehensive Breast Care Institute, friends always go to the front of the line. But after only five minutes in DuPree's office I am wondering if it's possible that all her patients are her friends, because every one of them seems to go to the front of the line. "I think I can miss my workout for a 32-year-old" she tells her assistant, referring to yet another woman she wants to see squeezed in first thing tomorrow. "People need information, and they shouldn't have to beg for it."
While most patients are deeply grateful to get into a surgeon's office on the same day they call about a breast lump, from a purely financial perspective, there is a downside: That kind of flexibility usually means that the doctor is not overbooked. And money, DuPree tells me, is a growing source of friction between her and her partner, Nashville-based Diversified Specialty Institutes. Although she is CEO of her hospital, DuPree says, she does not have control of the business end and she has locked horns with her partners on everything from the medical records system to whether the hospital should contract with large insurance companies. In addition, she says, DSI dragged its feet on such critical purchases as radiation equipment. And now, she tells me, given the current economic climate, her investors are beginning to panic. "This is by no means a stable situation for me yet," she says. "But if it were easy, somebody else would have done this a long time ago." Comprehensive Breast Care may be the first of its kind, she says, "But I don't want it to be the last."

Born on March 1, 1944, Roger Daltrey injected the Who's songs with expressive muscularity and passion. Daltrey made a natural rock and roll frontman, theatrically swinging the microphone and proving the ideal, angst-projecting foil to Who songwriter/guitarist Pete Townshend's "windmill" strumming and instrument destroying antics and drummer Keith Moon's explosive – sometimes literally – playing. With rock-steady bass virtuoso John Entwistle, the four evolved from purveyors of Mod-era "maximum R&B" to visionary, literary creators of concept album narratives and singular rock opera productions. Simply put: the Who created some of rock and roll's most enduring and powerful anthems.
In mid-1965, Daltrey and the Who were unflagging devotees of R&B, though their reverence ultimately started to stifle creativity. Hoping to shake things up on the compositional front, manager Kit Lambert demanded a new anthem to go with the image they didn't have yet. Pete Townshend responded with a primitive home demo of "My Generation." Arranged as a talking blues number, it didn't sound much like his generation. With a terse order to make it beefier, Townshend returned with a version deemed chunky enough to warrant a group whack at a demo session, which Lambert ...
How do you define rock and roll?
Each year, with the announcement of the next class of nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a debate swirls as to what music is considered "rock and roll." The announcement of the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees – the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Chic, Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel, Hall and Oates, Kiss, LL Cool J, the Meters, Nirvana, N.W.A., the Replacements, Linda Ronstadt, Cat Stevens, Link Wray, Yes and the Zombies – brought with it passionate discussions as to not only who should be inducted, but also how the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and people all over the world interpret and define rock and roll.
Visitors to the Museum in Cleveland will find a large type-and-graphics treatment featured in the Main Exhibit Hall, just before the Roots of Rock exhibit. It marks the unofficial start to a tour of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and explains the roots of rock and roll, and how the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognizes rock and roll today. It reads as follows:
Rock and roll is a form of ...
Recently, music journalist Ann Powers wrote a piece for NPR titled "Holding Music History in Your Hands: Why Archives Matter." In it, Powers notes that she's planning "to head next to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Library in Cleveland, which has served thousands of visitors – students, scholars and plenty of just-fans – since opening last year." In advance of her visit, she connected with Rock Hall Library and Archives director Andy Leach, who shared a story of one young visitor connecting with the Sex Pistols, in a new way.
"A couple of weeks ago, our head archivist told me a story about a teenage boy who came in with his family," Leach explained. "They were all looking at books and periodicals and watching videos, and the kid asked whether we had his favorite album, the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, on vinyl. He'd never actually seen a vinyl copy until then, and he was very excited. He very reverentially played the record in our Archives Reading Room while he pored over the album cover. He listened to the entire first side before it was time for his family to leave, at which point he begrudgingly rejoined ...
Rumors swirled around the 1992 Reading Festival that Kurt Cobain's reported ill-health would force Nirvana to bail on their headlining gig. Cobain, clad in a hospital gown and ridiculous wig, was pushed onto the stage in a wheelchair and faked a dramatic swoon before leading the band through a blistering, brilliant set. Reading 1992 sealed Nirvana's legacy as the most important new band of the decade.

On a stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, during their Punk Goes Acoustic tour, Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls) talk the history of the Sex Pistols, recording the punk rock classic anthem "Anarchy in the UK," "being the first" punk band and more.
Explore the history of punk rock at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio!
With songs like "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White," "Why Pick on Me" and "Riot on the Sunset Strip," the Standells brand of cranked-up garage rock in the 60s earned them a reputation as among the godfathers of punk rock. The fact their music has been covered by the likes of Aerosmith, Minor Threat, Bruce Springsteen and U2 – not too mention a litany of punk acts emerging in 1977 – illustrates that their knack for punchy hooks has engendered them to musicians and fans alike.
With an instantly recognizable-and easy to play-guitar intro, "Dirty Water" became a garage band staple in 1966. Onetime Four Preps member Ed Cobb wrote the song, but the Los Angeles–based Standells version recorded in a garage studio in southern California turned it into a growling classic. Once squeaky-clean, the Standells went proto-punk in a bid to glom onto the bad-boy image of British groups like the Rolling Stones and the Animals. Drummer/vocalist Dick Dodd (a former Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeer) sneered his way through this tale of unrequited lust and of vitriol aimed at Boston. That city retaliated by banning "Dirty Water," which didn't hurt sales. The canny Standells went on to ...
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Tom Dowd, Berry Gordy Jr., Les Paul, Sam Phillips and Phil Spector represent a 1950s and 1960s "recordist canon," pioneers of maverick recording methodologies responsible for shaping the sound of classic rock and roll. Their work not only forms the underpinning of rock music's sonic characteristics, but also represents an oft-imitated body of audible stylistic, genre and aesthetic recording principles. Some of their radical, experimental and at times rebellious production techniques – Paul's "Sound on Sound," Spector's "Wall of Sound"and Phillips' "Slap Echo" for example, have informed a continuum of established rock production standards.
However, the 1990s also marked a significant turning point in pop and rock sound recording. At a time when computer-based digital audio workstations (an electronic tool for recording, editing and producing audio files) were fast becoming the norm, many sound recordists of the era either rejected this new direction outright or blended technological and processual precursors into unconventional and individualized working practice. Such reinventions of technological and processual modes of production mirror those of the 1950s and 1960s '"recordist canon."
Here are 5 songs that helped define the sounds of the 1990s, and the producers who ...
Recently, former Black Flag frontman, solo artist and writer Henry Rollins shared his top 10 underground songs of all time with Esquire magazine. So what does that have to do with Cleveland's rock history? Turns out, a lot.
Mid-70s Cleveland was the perfect breeding ground for a band like Pere Ubu. The city had seen better days, and amid the post-industrial bleakness, a group of young creative men formed Pere Ubu. "Ohio was one of the most fertile grounds for what could be called underground music. I could make this list only using bands from this state and do just fine," Rollins said. "David Thomas, Pere Ubu's vocalist and leader of the band to this day, has been making records under the Pere Ubu moniker as well as solo for decades. He is one of my favorite performers, and I see him whenever the opportunity presents itself. The band's early singles are now fairly pricey items... What is true of [the Pere Ubu track] 'Final Solution' is true of this initial batch of Ubu. It is visionary stuff from the schools of rock, what would be called punk, and art, all mixing with time, place, and restless ...

If, as the tabloids are reporting, Jennifer Aniston is really inviting Jane Pitt—her ex-mother-in-law—to her upcoming wedding to Justin Theroux, I will be cheering her on. (Of course, who isn't cheering Jen on at this point? I'd cheer if she were marrying a loofah.)
What's wonderful about the invite, aside from making Angelina feel weird, is that our culture usually considers mothers-in-law about as welcome as scorpions in a sleeping bag. They may be the last group of women you can still make jokes about and no one seems to notice the sexism: "Out of the blue my mother-in-law told me she'd like to be cremated. I said, 'All right. Get your coat.'"
That's just one of the zillion jokes on a zillion websites devoted to mother-in-law snaps. Father-in-law jokes are out there, too, but not nearly as many, and they've got a totally different tone: Doting dad worrying about the doofus his daughter is marrying. He just wants her to be happy. Meantime, the mother-in-law is such a nagging hag, a lot of the punch lines are basically, "And then she died! Ha ha ha!" Don't believe me? Check this out: "Two friends are talking. One says, 'My mother-in-law's an angel.' The other says, 'You're lucky. Mine's still alive.'"
The sentiments are by no means a recent development. The Roman poet Juvenal wrote that no couple can be truly happy while the mother-in-law is still alive—and that was in the first century A.D. More recently (but not that recently, because she's dead), anthropologist Margaret Mead declared, "Of all the peoples whom I have studied, from city dwellers to cliff dwellers, I always find that at least 50 percent would prefer to have at least one jungle between themselves and their mothers-in-law."
In 2010, the London Borough of Barnet drew up sensitivity guidelines for its city council staff, including the rule: no more mother-in-law jokes. Predictably, the council then became the butt of jokes. (But these did not involve the punch line, "And then they died! Ha ha ha!")
Jennifer reportedly missed Mrs. Pitt when she got divorced, and she's not the only one who ever had a great relationship with her mother-in-law (didn't Margaret Mead figure 50 percent?). Let's not forget one of the most celebrated mothers-in-law of all time: the biblical matriarch Naomi, whose widowed daughter-in-law Ruth could have gone her own way after her husband's death, but instead uttered those immortal words, "Whither thou goest, I will go." There's also the modern-day matriarch Marian Robinson, whose son-in-law chose to share his house with her. The white one, on Pennsylvania Avenue. By all accounts, this arrangement is working out great for the Obamas.
Here's hoping Jen has just as lovely a relationship with her new mother-in-law as she had with the last—and that she lets the world know about it. With any luck, a lot of us are or will be mothers-in-law ourselves. We could use some good press.

John Wooten extended his current hitting streak to 11 games with his home run in the sixth.
Feb. 22, 2012
NORFOLK, Va. -In a back-and-forth game that was tied at four in the fifth inning, No. 20 East Carolina (4-0) scored six runs over the final four frames to pull away from Old Dominion (2-2) Wednesday afternoon at the Bud Metheny Baseball Complex.
With the game knotted at four, John Wooten put the Pirates ahead for good when he belted his second home run of the season, a two-run shot to right field, giving ECU a 6-4 advantage. Chase McDonald, who was plunked by Erick Baker, scored ahead of Wooten.
Junior Andy Smithmyer (1-0) picked up his first win of the season allowing one run on four hits in three innings of relief with four strikeouts. Starter Joseph Hughes was touched for three runs (all earned) on four hits win three innings, while Tanner Merritt (two innings) and D.J. Jauss (one inning) tossed scoreless frames.
Baker (1-1) suffered the loss giving up two runs (both earned) on one hit with two walks in two-thirds of an inning. C.J. Huyett was stellar in his first start of the year for the Monarchs through the first four frames, but was unable to get out of the fifth where he allowed two runs. In all, Huyett gave up four runs (all earned) on four hits with four punch outs in 4.2 innings. After Baker exited the game in the fifth, ODU used five more arms to close out the contest.
The Pirates struck early when Corey Thompson belted his first homer of the season, a solo shot to right center, for a 1-0 lead.
ODU tied the game at one in the bottom of the second frame when Chris Baker scored on Brent Frazier's groundout double play. Baker walked to start the stanza and took third on Josh Tutwiler's single up the middle.
Tim Younger's ground out RBI in the top of the third put ECU back on top, 2-1. Ben Fultz tripled to lead off the third sending a shot over the center fielder's head and trotted home on Younger's ground out to second.
The see-saw affair continued in bottom half of the third when Josh Wright deposited a two-run shot down the left field line off of Hughes for a 3-2 ODU lead. With two outs, Drew Coker drew a walk and came around on Wright's second home run of the season, a shot that hit off the top of the wall down the line.
In the fifth ECU regained the lead, 3-2, when Jack Reinheimer blasted his second round tripper of the year. Younger reached on double down the right field line with two outs and Reinheimer flexed his muscles sending a towering shot to left field clearing the bases.
Josh Wright tied the game at four in the bottom of the fifth on a Smithmyer wild pitch. Wright, who homered in his previous at-bat, reached on a ground-rule double down the left field line, stole third during Joey Burney's at-bat and strolled home on the Pirate miscue.
After taking the lead on Wooten's home run in the sixth, ECU tacked on four runs in the ninth putting the game out of reach. The Pirates were able to bat around taking advantage of an ODU error and pieced together five hits for a 10-4 victory.
The Pirates will be back in action this weekend when they play host Purdue on Friday, Feb. 24 at 5 p.m. in the Ninth Annual LeClair Classic.

It's time to officially kiss the dreary days of winter goodbye and celebrate the signs of spring, and what better way to do it than with a good old fashioned picnic?
A zippered basket is key for securely toting your lunch, blanket and other meal must-haves, and a patterned pair of sneakers has a way of bringing out your playful inner kid who might just convince you to kick 'em off, do a cartwheel and take a swing on the monkey bars.

Now, before you say anything, Sarah, I know it's been a while since we last spoke to each other and it's my fault. But football has been taking its toll on me. Almost all of my fingers are sprained and swollen and it's almost painful to write this. I keep getting them caught in between my helmet and the person I am hitting just before we collide. It's a very unpleasant sensation and I wouldn't recommend it.
It is actually my right hand which gets bruised up the most and I am right handed. A year ago, this would have been unfortunate. But with such fantastic foresight, I expect this day would come and I've prepared myself for it. I was going through a rough time in my life about a year ago when I realized how dependent I am on my right hand. This led to my phobia of losing it.
I was extremely paranoid and would always walk around protecting it, usually by keeping it in my pocket. Occasionally, if I was wearing shorts, if I was wearing shorts without pockets, I'd put it directly into my shorts for safeguarding.
This helped protect my hand in two ways. First, it kept it out of the open where anything from wild bikers or flying objects could swoosh by and hard it. Second, no one wanted to shake my hand or slap it, and this lowered my chance of injuring it. However, I realized I could not live my life with this incessant fear, and took action. I taught myself to use my left hand and it soon replaced my right in almost all affairs.
The reason I bring this up is because I just recently reaped my first real reward of my ambidexterity. Now, some things I still like to do right handed, but I made the silly mistake of getting my right hand bandaged up for practice before I used the bathroom. There was no chance in the world that my right hand could have functioned under such professional bandaging. With time running out before practice was set to begin, my left hand jumped in, prepared to do its part after a year of training. It cleaned my mess flawlessly...well, I hope. Either that or I'll have a rash tomorrow!!! But it was better than nothing.
Here's to you Mr. Left Hand. I owe you one!
Singing off left handed,

This has a Medium contour DSA barrel with silver solder on Muzzle brake. The only thing Izzy is the hand guards and selector, and Charging handle. This is an Izzy looking FAL I should say. The lower is a G1 that I cut for the Izzy selector the reciever is a non gear logo Imbel, The top cover is the stripper clip from Canada. The Bolt and carrier are British inch in the white, because I wanted the sand cut look. The gas tube has been silver soldered in so you don't need to worry about about leakage.
