"We write the set lists for every show right before the show," said the band's fiddle player Ryan Young. "We don't know what we're going to play, but almost everything is on the table, except for songs we haven't played in years."
Even then, if he and his bandmates — mandolin player Erik Berry, guitarist Dave Simonett, bassist Tim Saxhaug and banjoist Dave Carroll — decide to play an old, obscure tune, they will rehearse it until it's right, because that's how they work.
In fact, it's the hard work that has gotten the band to where it is today, Young said.
"It started out as a duo with a guitarist and mandolnist," he said. "They played that way for a while and added a banjo and then a bassist. I was the last to join."
That gradual process laid the foundation of the band, which has appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman," "Conan" with Conan O'Brien and "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson."
"From our perspective, the success has been a gradual increase," Young said. "From an outside perspective, it may seem like it happened suddenly.
"Usually most people first heard us when 'Palomino' came out or the one after that, 'Stars and Satellites,'" he said.
Although the band has no game plan, per se, its members are continually trying to improve their playing and musicality.
"We always had high hopes that the albums would do well, but there was no discussion or preplanning to make the next ones better," Young said. "We just become better musicians and we play better with each other. We've improved in songwriting and arrangements. So, I think that's what's making each record sound better. However, as far as success it's just luck."
Still, the band knows that there are times when it needs to become a facilitator for the luck. That's why the group decided to work with a producer, Alan Sparhawk, for the new album.
Sparhawk, who is the guitarist for the band's Low and Retribution Gospel Choir, hails from Duluth, Minnesota.
"We all respect Alan and his music quite a bit, so he was a good person to have in the studio, especially for the first time having a producer," Young said. "We look up to him and when he had ideas, most of the time we were excited to try them. If we didn't have someone who was a friend or someone who we didn't respect, the sessions might not have worked out."
The main thing Sparhawk taught the musicians was how to serve the song instead of show off, according to Young.
"Some musicians' natural inclination is to play a lot, especially when they're learning a song for the first time," Young explained. "We wrote, arranged and learned the songs in the studio. We didn't practice them ahead of time. In that situation, the first thing we wanted to do is play and play and play, and that wasn't the best thing for the songs."
So, Sparhawk used his outsider's perspective to help Trampled by Turtles tighten up the arrangements.
"He was able to get a grasp on the song as a whole before we did and he would come up to us individually and give us suggestions, such as not to play so much," Young said. "He would be very specific and would say, 'I just want you to play only on beat three, not on one and four, but when you play on beat three, you can play anything you want."
One incident has stuck with Young throughout the months.
"I remember that he wanted me to play one song as if my name wasn't Ryan, but Trevor," Young said with a laugh. "He said, 'You're a different fiddle player. You respect Ryan, but are sometimes a little leery on his note choices — Go.'"
That exercise helped the fiddle player perform in a different way.
"I didn't play what I felt should be played and wound up playing something I had never done before," Young said. "A lot of times when we'd listen to the playback I found that suggestion worked out pretty well."
Young began playing violin after years of playing the guitar.
"Even when I was a really little kid I was way into music and I actually learned guitar because my uncle is a guitar player," Young said. "Then in my school, they had an orchestra that started in fourth grade and I said, 'Alright, I'll play violin, too.'"
Since Young loved music so much, he would have played anything, he said.
"So, that's how I got started on the fiddle," Young said. "I'm a huge proponent for school music programs because it really changed my life."
Young is ready to share his love of music with Park City.
"I'm excited to go out there," he said. "It's a beautiful part of the country. We'll see you guys soon."
The Park City Institute will present Trample by Turtles as the St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights concert at Deer Valley on Tuesday, Aug. 19. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. The night will also feature Elephant Revival and Amy Helm. Tickets range from $40 to $75 and are available by visiting www.bigstarsbrightnightsconcerts.org.

The 'Forgotten war'
Vets honored at Port Orange VFW for service in Korean War
60 years later, award a 'thanks' to Korean War vets
Published: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 9:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 10:56 p.m.
PORT ORANGE — Lee Walters was only 17 when he joined the Army and ended up in Korea with the 101st Airborne Division in the fall of 1950.
His youthful resistance to orders saved his life when the plane carrying 18 soldiers was shot down near Pyongyang. "I was told to sit down and mind my own business," said Walters, who now lives in DeLand. "I bailed out instead."
Walters, one of nine local Korean War veterans who received Medallions of Appreciation for their service Tuesday, parachuted safely to the ground and spent the first night in the woods before being captured by North Korean soldiers when he emerged the next morning. He was held about six months in a prisoner of war camp before escaping and making his way south to meet up with American forces.
"We're lucky to be alive; some people did not make it back," Walters said after Tuesday's medallion presentation at VFW Post 3282 in Port Orange as he and other recipients swapped tales about their experiences in what is sometimes known as the "Forgotten War."
The medallions they received from the Syngman Rhee Memorial Association named for South Korea's first president are being presented to American men and women who served in the Korean War as a thank you for their sacrifices in connection with last year's 60th anniversary of the war's end.
"They should have had this 60 years ago," said George Dexter, a World War II vet with seven Purple Heart medals to his name, who presented the medallions at Tuesday's ceremony. Dexter has made it his personal cause to gather enough of the medallions through contacts made at veterans' conventions to honor all 97 members of Chapter 189 of the Korean War Veterans Association, which meets at the Port Orange VFW Post.
"Because of your heroism and sacrifice, South Korea was saved from North Korean communism, military overthrow and enslavement," read a letter from representatives of the Rhee Memorial Association Dexter read before presenting the medallions. "You paid sweat and blood for our lives and freedom. We are deeply indebted and forever grateful. You are unsung heroes in the miraculous life journey each of us enjoys today."
Others who received medallions were Tony Palomini, Ken Steady, Robert Hawes, Ray Anderson, Edmund Stepnowski, Chuck Husbands, Bob McGuire and Hans Wolfer. They also received a copy of "Korea Reborn," a commemorative book about the war published by the Republic of South Korea.
While the vets were touched by the recognition, Hawes said: "the real heroes are still over there."

A 53-year-old Mequon man was warned for disorderly conduct after being told the Thiensville restaurant at which he was dining ran out of fish for its all-you-can-eat fish fry last week.
According to the police report:
The man had already consumed 12 pieces of fish around 7:40 p.m. Friday when informed the restaurant had run out and could not substitute any other fish.
The man then refused to pay his bill. After the restaurant gave him eight more pieces of fish to go, he paid his bill.
The man returned to the restaurant on May 13 with a picket sign protesting the restaurant's poor business practices. Officers provided the man with guidelines for his protest, which he violated. He was then told to leave or risk arrest. He left and said he would return the next day.

Walker's Pace: Delaney Brings Home Relay Gold
Monday, July 16, 2012
Arthur Delaney won the gold medal in the men's 4x100 meter relay at the IAAF World Junior Track & Field Championships in Barcelona, Spain, over the weekend.
The freshman from Gresham, Ore., took the third leg of the American team that won with the second-fastest time in world-junior history, 38.67.
"I knew we just had to get the baton around and that we would have a fast time," said Delaney. "I felt good on the curve, so good that I want to go back out there. This medal and experience has got to be one of the biggest of my life to this point."
The quartet of Tyreek Hill, Aldrich Bailey, Delaney and Aaron Ernest helped Team USA claim five of the last six World Junior crowns in the event.
Also over the weekend, junior Elijah Greer placed seventh in the 800 Meters at the Diamond League meet in London in 1:46.14 .

Indonesia's new protectionist trade policies: a blast from the past
Author: Titik Anas, CSIS, Jakarta
Indonesian trade policy is going backwards. In the past year the government has introduced a range of new policies that inhibit trade and threaten the Indonesian economy. Three key policies are worth singling out.
First, there are new regulations on horticultural imports. Horticulture can only enter Indonesia at select ports, which excludes the busiest port of Tanjung Priok in Jakarta. New regulations also state that only registered importers can deal with horticulture imports. To become a registered horticulture importer a firm must get a recommendation from the designated directorate general at the Ministry of Agriculture.
Second, in May 2012 the government passed a new regulation on imports of finished goods. Unlike in the old legislation, a general importer is now only allowed to import goods that fall under one heading, and an importing producer is now only allowed to import finished goods for market testing and as complementary goods. This new regulation fills the legal vacuum left by the Supreme Court's annulment of regulation No. 39/2010, which governed the import of finished goods by importing producers. But the new decree also regulates imports of finished goods by general importers.
The third new policy is the regulation of exports of 65 mining commodities including nickel, tin, gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, chromium, platinum, bauxite, iron ore and manganese. These commodities will be subject to a 20 per cent export tax. Also, to be legally eligible to export these 65 commodities miners are required to be registered exporters and all exportation needs to be verified by surveyors. For a firm to become a registered mining exporter it must apply to the Ministry of Trade, and only after they have first secured an approval from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.
The last time Indonesia actively used such behind-the-border barriers to trade, in particular non-automatic import licensing, was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But as these policies failed to foster economic growth, Indonesia undertook major economic reforms from 1985, including trade policy reforms. Exports and economic growth have increased substantially since then. Rapid export growth was a significant contributing factor to Indonesia's high growth in the late 1980s and 1990s.
The new policies on horticultural, finished goods and mining trade will contribute to a further downturn in Indonesia's exports, which are already expected to decline due to slower growth in the county's two main export markets: the EU and US.
The products that Indonesia exports contain many imported components. This is especially true for Indonesia's manufacturing exports, which make up the bulk of Indonesia's export basket. Non-oil mining exports play a similarly fundamental role in Indonesia's export sector thanks to high prices. Yet the new regulations will have profound negative effects on manufacturing and mining.
Indonesia's involvement in East Asian production networks remains limited. These new policies will further distance Indonesia from the Asian factory network and erode the country's competitiveness.
So, why is Indonesia moving toward an inward-looking trade policy?
A more restrictive import regime is expected to safeguard Indonesia's trade balance, which is experiencing a substantial decline and became negative in April 2012. This trend is the result of a bleak outlook for the global market, so passing additional regulation is not wise. The government is concerned because while Indonesia's exports remained high in the first quarter of 2012, imports have increased significantly. Yet more than 70 per cent of Indonesian imports are still raw materials. Another 20 per cent are capital goods. Consumption goods account for only 7 per cent of imports. It is clear from this breakdown that Indonesia's imports fuel its exports and are crucial to the value-adding aspects of the Indonesian economy and, perhaps more importantly, that these figures do not differ from historical trends. With such a basket of imported goods, adopting a more restrictive import regime will harm Indonesia's competitiveness by increasing the cost of components and other raw materials.
The government has ironically suggested that the new import restrictions will accelerate Indonesia's transformation from an exporter of low-value-added goods to an exporter of high-value-added goods. To encourage this transformation the government uses incentives such as tax breaks for producers of high-added-value commodities, and disincentives such as export taxes on unprocessed commodities. How import restrictions can possibly assist in this process is unclear.
A major driver of these import restrictions is the simple need to boost government revenue. Indonesia's government failed to reduce the country's fuel subsidy earlier this year, and is now facing a budget deficit of approximately 300 trillion rupiah (equivalent to US$32 billion or 3.6 per cent of its GDP). Fees and charges in the new import regime are a reliable and much-needed revenue stream.
But mortgaging Indonesia's trade competitiveness to ease the budgetary pressure is short sighted and dangerous. Indonesia's exports are the engine of its economy. Imposing restrictions on imports jeopardises Indonesia's long-term growth prospects. The government should abandon the new regulations and focus on balancing the budget through sensible long-term economic management.

Congratulations on an excellent posting. Glad to see you are at CSIS.
Thanks Andrew.
This is an excellent posting. Thank you. However, what interests me are the motives of Indonesia's government to establish the three measures. Can you please elaborate this in your next posting? For the first measure, is it possible that the government is trying to advance the growth of other non-busy port? Diversity of growth centre across Indonesia may be crucial for long term economic growth as it may reduce over concentration of economic activity in one particular area thus might be useful to lower economic gap between regions. For the third measure, is it possible that the idea is to preserve the environment? Also, export limitation may increase the price of resources in global market and as exporter, such situation may be advantageous.
For the second measure, considering posture of Indonesia's import of mainly raw material, limitation of import of finished goods may be an indication of government intention to focus on domestic market (Indonesia alone is a big market) and thus may facilitate efforts to create greater links between economic powerhouse across regions in Indonesia.
I believe your posting should have a continuation story of which would tell the readers of why Indonesia's government insisted that the three restrictions "will accelerate Indonesia's transformation from an exporter of low-value-added goods to an exporter of high-value-added goods". In term of public policy, aspects of such restrictions are crucial to be understood by the people and thus it is not enough to point the lack of budget as the only reason (although it may be the main reason).
Sounds like it is time for the US and other countries to put restrictions on Indonesian imported goods like garments.
Indonesia economic growth does not depend on exports (and as far as I know, the EU and US will not buy our goods, although I am not sure why. A big country like Indonesia that has 200 million people will not have slower growth even if its trade balance is negative. What Indonesia should do is simply fix its infrastructure and and protect its markets! so our manufacturers can produce for ourselves and hopefully create new jobs. The Indonesian manufacturing sector doesn't contribute significant jobs. That's why our government pushes manufacturing companies to increase standard salaries.
Half of Indonesia's GDP comes from the service sector such as financial services, specifically savings and investment,retail, and telecommunications.
I am really sorry if my opinion is wrong, because to be honest I am just an ordinary person with a low education, but at least I read a lot.
No need to apologize Harry: all countries, including the ones now called major trading nations have gone through what Indonesia has been experiencing. The difference is that they started earlier when rules were almost non-existent.

Is there an easy fix for errors such as this one?
Because usually I end up going to
packages.debian.org and installing them one by one, since
apt-get -f install rarely does the trick. And if those dependencies have missing dependencies as well (and so on) that can end up taking quite some time.
You'd think this process could be automated.. or is this the only way to go?

The six trustees of the Queens Library filed a lawsuit against Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and NYS Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to block their recent removal from the Board. Katz recently served six trustees from the Queens Library with removal letters for their failure to act to remove the Executive Director of the Queens Library, Thomas Galante. Galante reportedly receives a six figure salary along with large stipend for his work as a consultant. It is reported that he recently remodeled his office to include several luxuries.
"Over the past six months, there have been troubling revelations about the management of Queens Borough Public Library," said the letter served by BP Katz.
The letter specified that the removal was based on BP Katz's being an appointing authority for the QBPL Board of Trustees. Section 3 of Chapter 164 of the laws of 1907 grants her the right of removal if she feels a trustee has failed or refused to carry into effect the educational purpose of the QBPL.
The following trustees were removed by BP Katz: Joseph Ficalora, Jacqueline Arrington, William Jefferson, Grace Lawrence, Terri Mangino and George Stamatiades.
The complaint claimed a "brazen and unconstitutional power grab by the Queens Borough President with the aid of the State Legislature to transform the QBPL.
The complaint cited the same laws of 1907 which granted the power to administer the library system to independent Trustees. It claimed BP is "taking control of the Library for political use."
The Queens Library has one of the largest circulations and the most diverse population of U.S. Libraries. It has currently partnered with the City of New York in their free meal program. The library was recently the recipient of donated Google tablets which it lends to cardholders and has expanded its lending library to include eMagazines.

"Moving out of State- Reasonable", comes from a hand-written for sale sign someone posted on a crypt. I photographed it, and it became the title because it refers to elements of all the photos in this book. The indications are of movement - cars, roads, gas stations. Signs aren't permanent, they're temporal, and often outlast the things they signify. And some of the signs are contradictory, or convey more eternal things. The photos with religious references or overtones imply a society moving in and out of various states of being, and "Reasonable" serves as a reference to a commodified god.

This book is simply wonderful! I love your eye. In some respects I was reminded of Joel Meyerowitz, and he's one of my very favorite photographers. Good work. I hope to see more from you.

As the most ambitious such program in the nation, the PILC Summer Funding Program guarantees funding for all first- and second-year students who want to work in public interest and government positions. For students who want to be public interest lawyers, the summer provides an invaluable training opportunity; for students who choose to pursue careers in the private sector, spending their 1L summer in public service encourages the habit of pro bono work. 1L students receive $4,500 for the summer and 2Ls receive $6,500.
The Program provides all participants with education in the theory and practice of public interest law. Throughout the academic year, students attend their choice of at least four lectures in the Leaders in Public Interest Series. Additionally, the Public Interest Law Center holds two mandatory meetings in the fall that provide information about public interest career paths and job search strategies. In the spring there are workshops to prepare students to be a successful intern. Students are also expected to contribute to fundraising for the Program by working at the annual Public Service Auction. The remaining requirements include submitting forms to document the internship and facilitate the payment process. After the completion of the internship, each student submits an PILC Intern Report which documents the quality of their internship. These reports are valuable resources for subsequent classes of students in their job searches.
To review the PILC Intern Reports, click here.
Eligible students can find detailed program information and can apply for the PILC Summer Funding Program here.
Be sure to register in the Summer Funding online system if you wish to participate in the program, and please check your NYU e-mail address throughout the academic year and summer for any program updates.
New York University School of Law offers a modest summer rent discount to students living in Law School residences and working for public interest organizations, as judicial interns, or as research assistants for professors. Contact the Office of Residential Services for more information.

The good news about SaaS is that enterprises, as well as small businesses, are increasingly adopting the technology, and see several benefits in adopting it. However, many of the third-party providers who offer SaaS services lack the customer service support to keep up with demand.
In one recent study, only 37 percent of participants reported that their SaaS provider supplied a dedicated customer-service manager for their business. Another 27 percent claimed they had difficulty finding the right person at their provider to solve a problem. For smaller firms looking for help, just 25 percent reported that their provider offered training for the apps they were using.
The results are part of a study released earlier this month dubbed "SaaS with a Face." The Enterprise Strategy Group conducted the survey, which interviewed nearly 250 companies using SaaS services, on behalf of Mimecast, which provides email management for its customers. (Registration required for full report.)
The survey offers a mixed view of the entire SaaS market. While more than 50 percent of the companies surveyed are using some type of SaaS application, another 38 percent are interested in taking the plunge into SaaS. Also on the good news front, many businesses see plenty of benefits with SaaS, including cutting infrastructure costs, reducing complexity, and helping the business to keep up with various government regulations.
However, this rush to SaaS is creating a gap when it comes to providing customer service, and making sure service-level agreements (SLAs) are followed to the letter. In a press release, Bill Lundell, an analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group, noted:
With more businesses potentially turning to SaaS applications and other hosted services in the coming years, providers will need to offer dedicated support and increased transparency around any product updates or issues in order to improve customer satisfaction.
There are several ways for businesses to protect themselves when it comes to third-party providers. The main issue is to get out front and check and recheck the provider's services, and to make sure the SLA spells out what's needed. The report offers three best-practices for SaaS users:
For our SITE readers, what issues have you had with SLAs? Are there additional best-practices that companies and their IT departments need to follow in order to make sure they get the most out of their SaaS apps? Please tell us in the comments section.

Ahh in a way you are right about verifications from linked in and social media. It totally depends what kind of vendor or services a company is looking for. I am not sure about markets in the west but here still most of Non-IT vendors are far from presence on the internet.
Jagibbons, what could be the best way in your opinion for vendor verification? You get to meet your vendors once they have furnished their proposal. How do you question them about customer satisfactions? Now these are very different set of questions other than the technical details of the products. Does your gut feeling helps in making a case?

Ho legato a questo formato tascabile i viaggi particolarmente significativi del passato prossimo e remoto che, per questioni di tempo non avevano ancora trovato una giusta collocazione nella mia bacheca on line di libri fotografici. Vipiteno, Lucca, Bressanone, l'Abbazia di Novacella, i laghi del nord Italia ma anche Alta, Ceuta e Tetouan, e molti altri luoghi arricchiranno questa nuova collezione di immagini.
"Free your mind and seize the moment". The extension of your thought is right there in front of you, in the sight of your camera… take a look around you, let yourself go and open yourself to new experiences, lights, colors, places, perfumes, sensations. Capture first inside you and then on the film the picture in front of you as if it's the last possible. I was born in Perugia (Italy) in 1954, studied technical-scientific matters and made work experiences in the industry field. I'm passionate of photography and love traveling choosing destinations and courses I take to reach them. I overgrow pictorial, graphical and informatics interests; I've matured helpful experiences in the photographic field by an advertising studio and have exhibited my works in some photographic exhibition. I try to translate in reality an image creates in mind, to seize what I think and see trying to make fleeting the limit between photography and picture, pictured subject and the evocation of a feeling.

How Can I Trace My Stolen Cell Phone
Things to Think About
Quick Links
Got Any Ideas
Make Sure It's Stolen
Sometimes your phone is just lost. Double-check and make sure that you haven't left it anywhere. Try calling the number. Try retracing your steps. If you're a forgetful person, assume that it's lost first, so go through the steps for finding a lost cell phone.
Make Sure You Don't Know Who Stole It
If you know who stole your cell phone, this is an entirely different situation. Try contacting the authorities (right after you cut the service off by calling your cell carrier). If you're at school, contact a teacher or somebody else in authority -- "the authorities" doesn't always mean the police. If you're pretty sure who took it, you have a much better chance of getting it back -- as long as you're willing to escalate the problem to somebody who can go make them give it back to you.
How Can I Trace My Stolen Cell Phone
Neat facts about hidden cell phone features and how to make your stolen phone useless
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. But sometimes no matter what you've done, you're sitting around asking "how can I trace my stolen cell phone?" Hopefully you have prepared ahead of time. If your phone is gone now, you can try contacting your cell phone company and see if there is anything they can do to help.
If you had a friend whose cell phone was stolen and you are wondering what you should do in that situation or how you can help your friend, the answer is preparation. Take a moment now with your cell phone. Just punch in *#06#, and the phone will display a 15-digit number. Write this number down and put it in a safe place. This is your IMEI (international mobile equipment identity)number. If your cell phone should get stolen, you can then contact your cell phone provider. cell operators can block or track all calls originating from a lost or stolen cell phone provided the IMEI number is available to them.

"I laugh at your foolishness," Bloomberg View editorial board member Francis Wilkinson snarks in a Wednesday hit piece ridiculing Gun Owners of America's warning that amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens will help create millions of new Democrat voters and a new electoral threat to gun rights.
"At that treacherous corner where the privileges of the First Amendment collide most spectacularly with the passions of the Second, producing a flaming, 12-car pile-up of twisted facts, shattered reason and mangled paranoia, the denizens are not so gullible," he explains, obviously more impressed with his own self-assessed cleverness than he has an objective right to be, and even more obviously clueless as to what constitutes an unalienable right as opposed to a grant from his beloved Fatherland.
Also in Wilkinson's shaky sights is the Center for Worker Freedom, for daring to show that the United Autoworkers union supports anti-gun Democrats.
The major problem with Wilkinson's snottiness is that's all he's got. GOA refers people to data compiled by the Pew Research Center, which shows overwhelming preference among "unauthorized immigrants" for the Democrat party. They can also point to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson's political advocacy that all illegal aliens "have earned the right to be citizens."
Likewise, the Center for Worker Freedom is dead on for documenting the many ways in which Rep. Steve Cohen, who called Tea Party Republicans "domestic enemies," has proven himself a committed enemy of the right to keep and bear arms, and to note how that is largely made possible by generous UAW aid and comfort.
Rather than present facts to counter GOA and CWF assertions, because he has none, Wilkinson instead resorts to the "progressive" playbook, "community organizer" Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals," with a special emphasis on Rule 5:
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Except it's not when it's so clumsily presented and easily recognizable, and Wilkinson lacks both the skill and the wit to come across as anything but eager to savage people he hates, which is more than a little creepy. That's why, rather than present credible data to counter GOA, he defers to talk of clouds and bunnies, while resorting to nothing more than cumulus fluff himself. Remember, with "progressives," every day is Opposite Day, and every indictment they level against another is really a reflection on themselves. The guy has nothing but insults to rely on in his vain attempt to deny the demonstrable and he knows it.
That's what makes his final attempt at introducing something verifiable at the end, as if to prove his "facts" are as good as anybody's, so feeble and unconvincing..
"I guess they've never heard of Representative John Dingell, famous friend to both the NRA and the UAW, over there," he concludes, and wrongly, getting ready to deliver what he fancies is his death thrust. "Or perhaps when they look at Dingell, they see the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. For some people, fanaticism is narcissism in the shape of a gun."
Again with ad hominem attacks and projection. No wonder he didn't even break the skin.
First, he's been talking about GOA, not NRA. He knows that, of course, as he's already disparaged the smaller group as "Tea Party insurgent[s]" among the larger one, but at this point, wrapping up his act with intellectual dishonesty is hardly surprising. It's just not convincing.
But let's look at Dingell, curiously rated "D-" by GOA. Why?
For joining forces with the Bradys on the '94 "assault weapon" ban, for one thing, actually the very thing Wilkinson ignorantly tried to ridicule. And giving Eric Holder cover for his stonewalling on evidence related to DOJ's part in murderous Operation Fast and Furious "gunwalking." There's more, but the point is made.
Perhaps if Wilkinson knew Dingell was the originator of the phrase "jack-booted government thugs" that Wayne LaPierre took such heat for appropriating ... no, it wouldn't matter. He and "the editor responsible for this article: Zara Kessler" are bought-and-paid-for lickspittle Bloomberg flacks, and they're neither given nor allowed a forum to present any side but one. Their function is to serve.
But that's OK. Despite forced laughter from "the help," the directed flak means GOA is over target, and the true narcissistic fanatics perceive a threat around which gun owners will mobilize unless they can shoot it down. That they're firing so wildly, that their aim is so off, and that their impotent attempt just blew up in their faces imparts a kind of ridiculous Alinsky karma to efforts company man Wilkinson is so undeservedly smug about.

IBM Enterprise Content Management Brand Specialist and Chicagoan Donna Mueller
was part of the seven-member Smarter Cities Challenge team that worked with the
City of Chicago's civic and education leaders to develop a strategic plan to connect public education to employment. Below, Donna shares her thoughts about contributing her expertise to help improve Chicago's schools.
My time on the Smarter Cities Chicago project was probably the most enriching experience I've had during my 32 years with IBM. It was unbelievably gratifying to use my background as an educator and my IBM expertise to learn about and potentially improve a school system in my own backyard.
One of the most interesting aspects to the project was learning about the vast network of organizations and agencies that independently support career and technical learning in the city. From the mind-bending activities offered to kids at the Chicago Public Library's You Media (my personal favorite); to the much loved After School Matters program; to the passion and drive of the educators at Chicago Career Tech, who help people develop the technical skills they need for new careers; the number and quality of these organizations was hugely positive "new news" me.
The Smarter Cities team was able to interview the leadership at many of these organizations, and quickly recognized the value of the offerings and the reach they provided in support of our mutually-held objective of improving career and technical education. Chicago has a rich ecosystem of career and technical education services – some of it being capitalized on, some not enough. One of our team's recommendations was for the city to reach across its diverse portfolio of services to help these various entities work together better.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the level of effort the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has dedicated to the wide swath of students formerly pigeonholed into "Vocational Ed." CPS is now tracking these students into Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs designed to prepare them for 21st Century careers.
The reinvention underway at the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) – which is revamping its information technology (IT) curriculum – also is impressive. However, the Smarter Cities team's observation was that CCC was revising its curriculum in parallel with efforts by CPS, rather than in collaboration with them. One of our recommendations to the city was that CCC and CPS coordinate resources to develop an integrated and more broadly-based approach to IT skills training. I felt that the CPS leadership was very open to the suggestions of the Smarter Cities team, and that some dramatic changes may be on the horizon.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel clearly has put a lot of thought into strengthening the city's economy by attracting new employers in search of a highly-skilled workforce. I applaud the Mayor's efforts to maintain the vibrancy and competitiveness of the wonderful city where I was born and raised. I'm proud to have played a very small part in helping to make that happen, and I'm proud to work for a company that has given me the opportunity to contribute.
Finally, the single greatest part of my experience was working on this real world social problem with an incomparable team of dedicated IBM experts. I learned so much from each member of the team. And for someone with a penchant for lifelong learning, that is the most important takeaway from the experience.

Just a little comment about InstaPundit and Bryan Preston's posting about Obama's ground game.
The GOP has some learning to do.
Bryan Preston says:
Obama's personal political army posted it on the web and require a valid email to obtain it. So I downloaded it and have posted it right here. Download it for yourself and take a look.
The GOP had better not only pore over every detail of this at the national and state levels, they must build something better for 2014 and beyond. The Romney campaign's ORCA project was supposed to be the GOP's technological answer, but it was a total failure.
Last night, Gov. Bobby Jindal pushed the GOP to stop being the "stupid party." They not only have to stop being stupid, they have to become very, very smart.
So, I did, I took a look at it; and I have to tell you all something. If the GOP thinks that they are going to be able to get anyone, who is that well versed in social media; who is a Conservative — they are crazy.
The majority of the people that are well versed in social media are, unlike me, committed leftists. They will not just switch for the right some of money, they are liberal purists through and though and they will not do anything to help out a Republican cause at all. This is and has been the huge handicap and disparity between the left and the right. Most, if not all, of silicon valley and the social media world is of the liberal mindset.
It is a sad thing, but it is very true. Obama might be many things; but he is no idiot. Obama knew exactly what he was tapping into, when he decided to do the ground game for 2012. He learned from his mistakes and this time, he did very well. Romney did well himself, he just did not have the ground game to fight Obama well enough to get his message out. Plus too, there were demographic issues as well.
What needs to happen with the Republican Party is that they need to broaden the tent a bit. They need to moderate out their message a bit. They need to stop pretending to be something that they are not; and that is some sort of Democratic Party light. They need to quit doing the "Go along to get along" nonsense as well. They also need to stop pandering to protected minorities and get in touch with what true Conservatism really is. They need to also move away from this Feminist nonsense and move towards a Christian message, without being overly offensive about it. In other words: Celebrate being pro-life, but lose the silly rape comments.
They need to embrace the Huckabee crowd, and the Pat Roberson crowd, and maybe even the Pat Buchanan crowd a bit more. They part also needs to get in touch with the Conservative grassroots a bit more, and move away from the Elitist beltway crowd, as the cocktail crowd might get the big donations; but the heartland people are the ones that vote. An outreach to the farmers, and I do not mean the large corporate farmers either, I mean small-town farmers; this would help things out a good deal.
What needs to happen is the Republican Party needs to get back to the people that the Democrats left behind. Like the small-town farmer who's making about $250.000 a year, but is barely able to keep his farm. Like the screw machine shop owner and employees, who put in a honest days work; just to put food on the table. Tell them, that they want to help them keep more of their own money. Reagan did this, and won big.
Populism is where the real people live, and if the Republican Party does not meet with these people and let them know, that they want to represent them; they will go the way of the Whig party. The American people will vote for someone that they can relate to; Mitt Romney was not that kind of a person and Ronald Reagan happened to be that kind of a person.
I just hope the GOP figures this out, before it is too late.

The apartment was comfortable and clean. Close from de centre of Amsterdam with underground. Marcel and his daugther were very kind. It was a good expirience. Amsterdam is amazing!
We had a Great time At Marcel's. The room is spacious and there are also
A couple of chairs and table to chill out on the evening or have breakfast in the morning. You have full use of the kitchen with every appliance you may want. The bathroom and toilet are in good conditions, clean and big enough. The position is also good since you can Reach the Central station in exactly 14 mins from the flat(including 3 mins walk to the metro station Van der Madeweg). Marcel and his daughter were very friendly even though we didn't have much chance to talk to them due to different mealtimes and habits. Please notice that this is a marijuana-friendly place but that in Your room you can't really smell it if you don't smoke yourself. In General, I think this is the best accommodation you can find in Amsterdam For a reasonable price.
The room is aprox. 14 m2. Nice view from the room, windows in all the lenght of the room. Good heating. There is acces to the livingroom/kitchen where the family lives ( and sleeps). The dog is quite lively and runs into your room, if you dont close the door firmly. The family is friendly.
There are three rooms for rent, so at peek times is 8 people sharing one toilet and one bathroom.
Not a place we would choose again.
Marcel and his daughter were very gentle hosts, Marcel himself showed his competence as a touristic guide by describing and showing us the surroundings and the city itself. Also we had lots of freedom in the apartment and were able to use the living room and the kitchen every time that we wanted to cook or to relax on the couch. Additionally, the balcony has a nice view and it's a comfortable place to relax. Concluding it was an outstanding experience in Amsterdam and I would recommend Marcel's apartment to everyone!
nice gay, daugther nice as well. Flat not very clean and crazy dog (good dog but not educated at all), the smell of marijuana is too strong (so do not go withs kids or they sleep for the whole day). Room is spacious and the area is quite and close to metro.
Marcel was very unfriendly. When we arrived he let his daughter open the door for us. He didn't even bother to stand even up to welcome us. We talked like 1 sentence during our stay.
I felt unconfortable when using the kitchen, because Marcel was there the whole day.
Therefore, his daughter who took a little care of us is very gentle and a lovely person.
Would not recommend!

The Case of the Glasgow Ghoul
This is the second novel in a series featuring Victorian girl detective Slightly Jones who lives in her Granny's London boarding house. The adventure begins when one of the boarders asks her to solve the mystery of items disappearing from Glasgow's Hunterian Museum. The answer is entertainingly preposterous, although it highlights the plight of the street children of the time and has a satisfyingly romantic conclusion. The story romps along, drawing in assorted snippets of Glasgow's history on the way. One of the author's aims is to draw attention to lesser known figures and ideas from history. The book ends with the lead in to Slightly's next case and a set of facts and jokes loosely connected to the book's themes.
The writing is an odd mix of cod Victorian and modern usage, probably not discernible to the intended reader; some of the Glasgow dialect comes across, but not consistently, and the whole thing goes at such a breathless pace that it's enjoyable but not to be taken too seriously. A good quick read.

We all struggle to get our 8 hours. Whether it's that last-minute work project, a test you're cramming for, or a newborn, there are a myriad of roadblocks to a good night's sleep. Some of the resulting fatigue we experience during the day, however, might very well be caused by an invisible enemy—sleep apnea, a disorder that causes breathing to slow dramatically during sleep, affecting oxygen intake. Joshua Warren, who graduated this past May with a double-major in economics and biology, worked with Richard Schwab, Professor of Medicine and co-director of the Penn Sleep Center, to analyze MRIs of over 700 subjects to search for links between morphological changes in the upper airway and sleep apnea severity.
"Sleep apnea is a poorly understood disorder despite its widespread prevalence—it has been estimated that over 20 million Americans alone are affected, and most are not even aware of it." – Joshua Warren
"The research has been very rewarding," Warren says. "Sleep apnea is a poorly understood disorder despite its widespread prevalence—it has been estimated that over 20 million Americans alone are affected, and most are not even aware of it. We hope that our research on the morphological shifts that underlie changes in sleep apnea severity will facilitate a greater understanding of the disorder, leading to an increased quality of life for all those who are affected."
Warren submitted an abstract on the research and presented it at the 2010 International Conference of the American Thoracic Society in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is currently in the process of writing a full-length article that he hopes to submit for publication.

Warren discusses the causes and complications of sleep apnea, and what researchers are doing to find a treatment.

Where the Miami Dolphins will really miss Jason Ferguson
I first met Jason Ferguson back in the 1990s, when he was playing at the University of Georgia and I was writing four columns a week for the nearby Augusta Chronicle.
Even as a college football star, Big Ferg had an "old head." He carried himself with a maturity and a grace beyond his years.
After moving on to mostly baseball coverage at the Sun Sentinel in 1998, I didn't see Ferguson again until moving onto the Miami Dolphins beat in June 2009. He probably didn't remember me, but when I told him I'd covered him at Georgia, he greeted me like an old friend and gave me an elaborate handshake and one of those half-hugs guys do.
I really didn't know what I was doing yet — probably still don't — but seeing Big Ferg out there at Dolphins camp instantly made me feel better.
Some guys just have that effect on people — calming, reassuring — and Jason Ferguson (who retired Thursday) no doubt was one of those.
I loved Tony Sparano's description of Big Ferg last September, shortly after his teammates voted the aging nose tackle one of four co-captains in advance of the season opener. It was Ferguson's second captain election in as many Dolphins seasons.
"He's a guy that when you're pulling up to the stadium and you have him on your bus, you're pretty happy that he's on your bus," Sparano said. "He's got the right look and he's prepared well."
Barring a change of mind and a midseason comeback, the Dolphins have experienced that reassuring feeling for the last time in the wake of Ferguson's surprising decision to retire on Thursday after 13 NFL seasons.
The ripple effect goes beyond the fact Randy Starks now probably has to stay at the nose all season for the first time in his career, not to mention the fact backup nose man Paul Soliai must step up and show the sort of consistency he has yet to provide in his first three pro seasons.
The mere loss of an old head like Big Ferg in a Dolphins locker room already suffering a dearth of veteran leadership (no Jason Taylor, no Joey Porter, no Justin Smiley, no Akin Ayodele) should not be overlooked.
"Having Ferguson around is invaluable," Dolphins defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers told me this summer. "Not only is the guy still playing on a high level before he got injured. Some of the blocks you see at nose, he can eat and sleep and wake up and understand what goes on at the nose position. He's been doing it so long and so long at a high level. It's good to have an extra set of eyes. If I miss a step or a hand placement, Ferg will get it. Also he offers a player's insight. I see it from a coach's perspective, he sees it from a player's insight."
Defensive lineman Tony McDaniel, who has been in the league a handful of years, had a great description of what Ferguson meant in that room after he suffered that season-ending (and now career-ending) quadriceps tear against Carolina last November.
"I talk to him every day," McDaniel said. "I wish I could have had a whole season with him. It's like having an extra coach on the field right there next to you. Having Ferg on the field, you can't replace that with anybody. I definitely miss his presence already."
And that thing about him on the bus? That was real too.
"He's definitely the kind of guy that could make a person relax," McDaniel said at the time. "You know when he's there because he's always talking sense. He could read people's vibes to tell what kind of mood they're in and make them feel better about the situation. He could just see me walk in and basically look at me and tell by my body language what was going on with me. To be honest, it's hard to find a guy like Ferguson. He's definitely one of a kind."
Farewell, Big Ferg, and know that you will be missed.

Could your tax record keeping withstand an audit by the Internal Revenue Service?
When it comes to defending their tax deductions, most self-employed taxpayers have adopted a quasi-standard business practice they think will keep them in general compliance and under the radar of the IRS, without ever delving into the actual requirements to which the feds will hold them in the event of an audit.
Maybe you keep a daybook and know to collect receipts when you travel on business. Perhaps you retain your bank and credit card statements to support your deductions and your 1099s to verify business income.
But could your records actually hold up under an IRS audit?
As far too many have found out the hard way, the answer is: probably not.
"The laws say no records, no deductions. I think they're pretty strict about that," says Anne Christensen, professor of accounting at Montana State University. "There are certain standards for keeping these records, and if you don't meet the standards, they don't have to allow the deductions. It depends on the particular agent and circumstances as to how understanding they'll be."
Nobody, not even the IRS, requires you to have an accounting degree or keep your books the way a CPA would. But when it comes to defending yourself in an audit, the burden of proof is fully upon you to turn up the goods -- ledger entries along with such supporting documents as cash register receipts, bank deposit slips, bank and credit card statements and canceled checks.
Claim more than you can substantiate and not only do you risk having your deductions disallowed, you'll probably be slapped with a penalty for negligence -- 20 percent of the understated amount is typical -- as well as interest on the claimed amount. If you grossly underreport your income or overstate your expenses, you could be looking at a civil fraud penalty of up to 75 percent of the tax amount.
"The agent would look at the facts and circumstances involved and take these into consideration," says IRS spokesman John Lipold. "It's important to have something that can demonstrate the purpose and the details around whatever the deduction was."
The red-flag zone
That said, not all deductions are equal in the eyes of an IRS examiner. Certain deductions, including business travel and entertainment, or T&E, business gifts, listed property such as cars, computers and cell phones, gambling losses and charitable contributions require more documentation than such write-offs as postage and office supplies that are less prone to abuse.

NSCAA Release
SEATTLE – Four members of the Washington men's soccer team were honored by the NSCAA on Monday for being named to the All-Far West Region Teams. Taylor Peay and Darwin Jones earned first team honors, while James Moberg and Cristian Roldan were named to the second team.
Peay captained the Washington defense that allowed just 17 goals in 22 games. The senior was recently named a semifinalist for the MAC Herman Trophy and was also All-Pac-12 First Team. In addition to his defensive responsibilities, the Salt Lake City native scored six goals on the season.
Also being named First Team All-Region was Darwin Jones who scored seven goals and added four assists in his first season as a Husky. The Highline Community College transfer gave opposing defenses fits all season with his pace and strength on the ball. Jones was also an All-Pac-12 First Team selection and now adds the regional honor.
Moberg was named to the second team after finishing second in the Pac-12 with nine assists. The central midfielder acted as the Huskies' main playmaker all season, while also adding a one goal. Moberg was also named All-Pac-12 Second Team for his sophomore year.
Finally, Roldan added a Second Team All-Region honor after already being named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and to the All-Conference First Team. The Pica Rivera, Calif., native scored seven goals and added five assists for the Huskies this season.
Washington was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament by New Mexico last weekend, but the Dawgs still had a highly successful season with a Pac-12 title and a run to the Elite 8, the furthest a Washington team has ever advanced in the NCAA Tournament.
The four Huskies to earn All-Region honors were the most for the Dawgs since 2006 when the same number of players were honored. The four players were the most of any school in the Far West Region this season.

I see that Minecraft 1.1 adds foreign language translations, including separate translations for US English and British English. Are there any differences between the two? If so, what are they?
There are a number of regional differences (e.g. "grey" vs. "gray", "odour" vs. "odor" and use of the Oxford comma), but there are also a number of what seem to be completely spurious changes (capitalization, "Your demo" vs. "The demo"). Also note that, internally, the UK translation is mis-assigned to the
Full list of significant differences between the US and GB localizations:
Well this isn't a UK difference, but if you switch to Canadian and try to sleep, instead of "You can only sleep at night." it says "Sorry, you can only sleep at night." It uses the "Canadians are polite" stereotype.
