Even as music trends may dictate that most people lazily gravitate toward downloading music, nothing can take the place of the tactile experience of thumbing through a well-annotated reissue or a deluxe box set brimming with photos and the reams of recording information only a music geek could love. You just can't get that kind of satisfaction from listening to a compressed MP3 on your ear buds or hitting Wikipedia on your iPhone to find out what place The Feelies occupied in the music universe of the late-'70s NYC music scene. 2009 had its definite share of landmark reissues from the likes of the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and The Stone Roses as well as the aforementioned Feelies' critically adored 1980 debut. As for box sets, the Fab Four may have gotten all the well-deserved ink after having their canon properly remastered and re-released, but who knew that Hall & Oates possessed the kind of catalog to merit them being considered far beyond a mere guilty pleasure?
1. Beastie Boys – Paul's Boutique [20th Anniversary Edition] (Capitol) – A landmark hip-hop album that took the art of sampling to another level, Paul's Boutique got dusted off for its twentieth anniversary. In hooking up with the then-unknown Dust Brothers, (who were coming off working with Tone Loc and Young MC), the Beastie Boys were attempting to get away from the boorish, frat-boy sentiments of their wildly successful debut. And although Paul's Boutique commercially bombed when it first came out, its plethora of samples from artists ranging from Sweet, Led Zeppelin and Idris Muhammad to Johnny Cash, Pato Banton and Alice Cooper still reverberates firmly two decades later. Acclaimed by the likes of Miles Davis, Chuck D. and Henry Rollins, there's a lot to love about this record given how it spawned killer songs like "Shake Your Rump," "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun," "The Sounds of Science" and "Hey Ladies." It remains one of the most quintessential headphone albums around.
2. The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses [20th Anniversary Legacy Edition] (Silvertone/Legacy) – This seminal debut was not only the apex of the Madchester scene, but planted the seeds for the ensuing Brit-Pop Revolution that would erupt in the mid-'90s. Far more popular in the UK than they were in the States, The Stone Roses nonetheless left such a huge imprint in their home country that NME voted the band's self-titled 1989 debut the greatest album of all time. Bolstered by the psychedelic vibes of the then burgeoning rave culture, the Roses cleverly moved from straightforward songs like the Jesus & Mary Chain-like pop frisson of "She Bangs the Drums" and ethereal jangle of "Waterfall" to stylistic curveballs such as the one-minute-long acoustic "Elizabeth My Dear" and its echoes of "Scarborough Fair" to "Don't Stop," a rendition of "Waterfall" run backwards. All of which is capped off by the eight-minute closer "I Am the Resurrection," with its intricate and hypnotic time changes. This 2-CD reissue also contains the wah-wah soaked and insanely infectious "Fools Gold" single, a second disc entitled "The Lost Demos" and a DVD featuring the band performing live at the Blackpool Empress Ballroom on August 12, 1989.
3. Pearl Jam – Ten (Epic/Legacy) – Like The Clash to Nirvana's Sex Pistols, Pearl Jam was hot on the heels of their Seattle peers with a 1991 debut that was then criticized by many for the slicker sound resulting from producer Rick Parashar's touch. That said, there was no denying the raw pain Eddie Vedder's vocals channeled over the two-guitar tandem of Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, whose playing reflected the influence of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Dinosaur, Jr. and even the staccato of stripped-down hip-hop. Songs about gun violence, child abuse and abortion may not have made Ten the most cheery listening experience, but it delivered a weighty and most worthwhile musical trip. With longtime producer Brendan O'Brien overseeing the album's three reissues, the overall sound is of a leaner nature. Of the trio, the most extravagant is a ginormous collector's set that contains original and remix versions of the album on CD and vinyl, the "Drop in the Park" concert vinyl, the MTV Unplugged DVD and the demos cassette that retails for about two hundred bucks. The more economically priced set with the remixed Ten CD, Ten Redux and the aforementioned MTV DVD ends up being quite sufficient.
4. Nirvana – Bleach [Deluxe Edition] (Sub Pop) – Even though it didn't carry the considerable pop-culture weight of its follow-up Nevermind, Bleach did indicate Nirvana's great potential despite being recorded for the paltry sum of six hundred dollars. Highlights that pop up amid the sturm and dirge served by this pre-Dave Grohl lineup are the ballad "About a Girl," dense slag of "Blew" and a sinuous cover of the Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz." Given how sludgy the sound is, the revelation isn't so much about improved sonic quality as much as the inclusion of an 11-song set plucked from a February 9, 1990 Portland, Oregon show that features a Vaselines cover plus versions of "Dive" and "Been a Son."
5. The Rolling Stones – Get Your Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert (ABCKO) – Arguably the best live album The Rolling Stones ever released, Get Your Ya-Ya's Out! got a significant upgrade on this "40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition." Recorded during the Stones' triumphant comeback playing live in the United States for the first time in three years, Ya-Ya's found much of the tour ending up in the seminal documentary Gimme Shelter. In addition to adding a bonus disc of five previously unreleased Stones performances, there's another disc split between the live sets of that tour's opening acts, B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner plus a DVD featuring those same five songs ("Prodigal Son," "You Gotta Move," "Under My Thumb," "I'm Free" and "Satisfaction") that are on the second CD.
6. U2 – The Unforgettable Fire [Deluxe Edition] [2-CD/1-DVD set] (Island) – If War was the shot across the commercial bow of the pop culture world, then The Unforgettable Fire was the album that catapulted U2 into the pantheon of globally relevant superstar acts. Joining forces with the production team of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois for the first time, U2 came away with a collection of songs that bore what would be the duo's atmospheric imprint. Tributes to Martin Luther King, Jr. ("Pride [In the Name of Love]"; "MLK") further cemented the group's social consciousness while songs like the title cut and "A Sort of Homecoming" reflected a knack for penning musical gems that affected both heart and mind. This Deluxe Edition includes the Wide Awake in America EP, various remixes and a version of "A Sort of Homecoming" featuring a Peter Gabriel cameo.
7. The Feelies – Crazy Rhythms (Bar/None) – One of those debuts that rock critics get all geeked out over along the lines of Marquee Moon and The Velvet Underground & Nico, Crazy Rhythms possess the kind of jittery cadences, adenoidal phrasing and what can best be described as clipped twangyness that ensured it made nary a commercial ripple upon its initial release. That said, the combination of drummer Anton Fier's tribal bottom and crisp timekeeping combined with the nasally vocals and neurotic frisson of guitarists/vocalists Bill Million and Glenn Mercer reflected the minimalism and lack of flash contained within the record's nine songs. The use of unorthodox percussion, (cowbells, maracas, castanets and woodblock) ends up being a welcome and constant companion that gives added weight to the guitar drone used to great effect on the first single "Fa Ce-La" and sonic crescendos of "Moscow Nights." Best of all is a version of "Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except For Me and My Monkey)," that force feeds the Fab Four amphetamines with the result being the most killer undiscovered Beatles cover around. While R.E.M. and Yo La Tengo were the obvious immediate acolytes, it's clear the Feelies laid the groundwork for the traumatized nerdcore of Rivers Cuomo and his ilk.
8. Twisted Sister – Stay Hungry: 25th Anniversary Edition (Rhino) – The Rodney Dangerfield of heavy metal and to a degree, Long Island's musical legacy, Twisted Sister used talent and determination to go from years of playing Long Island clubs to that brief window in the '80s when they were one of the world's biggest bands. Its multi-platinum third album proved to be both bonus and bane as the success of anthems like "We're Not Going to Take It," "I Wanna Rock" and the title cut not only landed them on MTV and magazine covers around the world, but planted the seeds of jealousy within the band's ranks and fostered resentment from TS's core fanbase. As for this reissue, the aforementioned songs as well as the conceptual "Horror-Teria (The Beginning)," "Burn in Hell" and "S.M.F.' all stand up two and a half decades later. Throw in a bonus disc of previously unreleased demos and the newly-recorded "30" and you have a reissue that definitely merits revisiting for both enjoyment and serious reassessment.
9. Neil Young – Neil Young, Harvest, Everyone Knows This is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush (Reprise) – Following on the remastered heels of four mid-era Neil Young records of a few years back, (On the Beach, American Stars 'N Bars, Hawks & Doves, Re-ac-tor), comes the quartet of solo outings that established the Canadian national as an artist whose weight carried far beyond his efforts in Buffalo Springfield and with Crosby, Stills & Nash. And while this four-pack follows the lead of its predecessors by omitting any bonus cuts, the fidelity is crisper and far improved over the prior reissues. The bass is boosted just a bit, guitar parts are crisper and harmonies are clearer. "The Loner," "Down By the River," "Cowgirl in the Sand," "When You Dance, I Can Really Love," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Old Man" and "The Needle and the Damage Done" are just some of the classic Young compositions benefitting from this round of sonic cleaning up.
10. R.E.M. – Reckoning [Deluxe Edition] (I.R.S.) – The relevancy R.E.M. continues to bring to the table may be a topic for debate nowadays, but one listen to the band's 1984 sophomore bow clearly reflects the skills the Athens quartet brought to the table. Despite having quite the stripped-down aesthetic to it, Reckoning still reverberates positively with lots to still like. There's the melancholy regret of "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville," tinged remorse of "So. Central Rain" and crisp attack of "Pretty Persuasion" all infused with Peter Buck's Byrdsian jangle, Michael Stipe's even-handed phrasing and the crack rhythmic chemistry shared by Mike Mills and Bill Berry. The inclusion of a bonus disc featuring a live July 7, 1984 performance at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom makes it quite the worthy reissue.
Honorable Mentions:

Elvis Presley – From Elvis in Memphis [Legacy Edition]
Chris Bell – I Am the Cosmos (Rhino Handmade)

Rod Stewart – A Night on the Town (Warner Brothers)
1. Erasure – Total Pop! Deluxe – The First 40 Hits [3-CD/1-DVD set] (Rhino) – Given the fact that disc one recaptures the 1992 compilation Pop! The First 20 Hits in its entirety, this set definitely holds more appeal to the Erasure latecomer. That said, the second disc follows the synth-pop duo's creative path going from dabbling with electronic musical trends of recent years and diving into unusual covers right up through remaking old songs with an acoustic bent. And while the third disc, "Live: 1987-2007," has this set teetering on the edge of bloat, throughout it all, the combination of Andy Bell's soulful falsetto and Vince Clarke's compositional dexterity on the keyboards makes for the kind of synth-pop that asks for repeated plays.
2. Hall & Oates – Do What You Want, Be What You Are [4-CD set](RCA/Legacy) – Recently, TV cook Rachel Ray was surprised to find out Hall & Oates, the most successful pop duo of all time, were not inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. A trip through this surprisingly solid 4-CD set backs up Ray's assertion that the Philly twosome merits a place in the Cleveland shrine. Yes, there's the magnitude of hits you expect to find including soulful classics ("Sara Smile," "She's Gone"), catchy smashes ("Private Eyes," "Did It In a Minute") and leftfield hits ("Adult Education," "Method of Modern Love"). But then there plenty of pleasant surprises from H&O's Atlantic years, like the Elton John-flavored "Fall in Philadelphia," John Oates' folky "Had I Known You Better Then" and the crisp '70s R&B of "It's Uncanny." And while there are testimonies from the likes of Todd Rundgren, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Dave Stewart and Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, this set ends up accomplishing what it sets out to do—renew your appreciation for a fabulously talented twosome more often ripe for parody in recent years than anything else.
3. Neil Young – Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1: 1963-1972 [8-CD set] (Warner Brothers) It's an ongoing joke that every year Neil Young was going to release the sequel to the 1977 compilation Decade. Given the enormous amount of material Shakey has in the vault, it's no wonder that it's taken this long to start pulling it all together. But with this initial 8-CD salvo, the creaky wheels are finally in motion. Material Young cut as part of The Mynah Birds, (a group he was briefly in with Rick James before the former headed out to California), may still remain under Motown's lock and key, but out of the 138 tracks here, 47 of them are previously unreleased. As an added bonus, this set is being released on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray formats, with the latter two including his 1974 film Journey Through the Past.
4. Big Star – Keep An Eye on the Sky [4-CD set](Rhino) Rarely has a band that produced such a small amount of music merited such accolades. But, c'mon, it's friggin' Big Star. The band had all the hallmarks of a vintage Behind the Music episode — manic-depressive founding member who dies tragically young, a brilliant former teen-idol-turned-music-sophisticate, and enough marketing mismanagement to guarantee the band cult status. But given how masterfully Chris Bell, Alex Chilton, Andy Hummel, and Jody Stephens turned elements of British Invasion rawness and Southern pop soul into the quintessential brand of power-pop only makes you wonder why it took so long for this four-CD set to appear. #1 Record, Radio City, and 3rd/Sister Lovers are all here in their entirety along with a glut of previously unreleased material. There's even a kickass 1973 live show included that should be a primer for any band that's ever had to play before an indifferent crowd. Taken together, it's the kind of pop manna that's great to relive or even better to discover the first time 'round.
5. Hank Williams – The Unreleased Recordings [3-CD set] (Time Life) – The father of country music is the beneficiary of this set overflowing with previously unreleased recordings Hank Williams made for the Mother's Best radio show in 1951. Drawn from 143 acetates that were saved from the trash and given to daughter Jett back in the 1970s, this is the initial installment of a three-year period of releases. The 54 cuts here are of pristine quality that include gospel standards ("Precious Lord, Take My Hand"), covers of peers (Fred Rose's "Prodigal Son," Moon Mullican's "Cherokee Boogie") and the first-ever public performance of the self-penned (and partially plagiarized) "Cold Cold Heart." Chalk this treasure trove of American roots manna as one of those sets that somehow managed to fly under the radar last year.
6. Various Artists – Where the Action Is: Los Angeles Nuggets 1965-1968 [4-CD set] (Rhino) – Having already explored the scenes in the UK and San Francisco, Rhino continues its thorough excavation and examination of '60s garage rock with this latest installment of the Nuggets series by going in its own backyard and casting the focus on the mid to late '60s Los Angeles music scene. With the Sunset Strip being Ground Zero, this 4-CD set not only gathers familiar names like The Beach Boys, Love, Buffalo Springfield, The Monkees and The Byrds with more obscure talents like the Latin-flavored recordings of Thee Midniters and The Premiers along with the psychedelic chamber-pop of The Merry-Go-Round.
7. The Beatles – In Stereo [17-CD set]/ The Beatles – In Mono [13-CD set] (Capitol) The most eagerly awaited reissues this year, some would say that the anticipation for The Beatles' canon getting remastered equals the same level experienced when these same albums were making their debut on CD over twenty years ago. The wrongs of the original digital releases with their tinny and cold sound quality are righted on both sets with vastly improved remastering that makes the Beatles' canon sound warm and restores these songs to their former greatness. Despite the fact that the In Mono set is missing Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be, (the only Fab Four albums solely recorded and released in stereo), the preceding albums are particularly impressive sounding as the mono recordings gibe closest with how The Beatles wanted their music to be heard.
8. Dolly Parton – Dolly [4-CD set] (RCA/Legacy) – If ever there was an artist deserving of a box set, that would be Dolly Parton. While her physical endowments are usually the first topic of discussion when her name comes up, the Tennessee native has enjoyed a long and fruitful entertainment career whose cornerstone is the legacy of music she's created. Highlighting songs from her time recording for Goldband, Mercury, Monument, RCA Victor and Columbia Records, these four discs go as far back as the late '50s/early '60s demo for "Gonna Hurry (as Slow as I Can)" and ends in the early '90s. In between is a wealth of hits, album cuts, rarities, B-Sides and a handful of previously unreleased songs. And while it's billed as a career-spanning set, (the last year covered is 1993), Dolly leaves out material from the fifteen years that followed in which Parton returned to her bluegrass roots. Despite that minor mistruth, the contents of this set offer an excellent overview of Parton's talents and how they far outshine her sometime cartoonish image.
9. Rod Stewart – The Rod Stewart Sessions: 1971-1998 [4-CD set](Rhino) – A younger generation of music fan knows Rod Stewart as that old English guy who: A. Puts out albums full of songs your grandparents like; B. Is the father of reality stars Sean and Kimberly Stewart; C. Got to sing "Maggie May" on the Season 8 finale of American Idol last year. Ideally, this treasure trove of unreleased outtakes that span three decades will help round out these perceptions more properly. . Along with alternate versions of well-known songs like "You Wear It Well," "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" and "Forever Young" are lesser-known gems like "Lost Paraguayos" and "Innocent (The Killing of Georgie Part III), the previously vaulted gut-bucket sequel to the two-part classic about the life and death of Stewart's gay friend. The football-loving Scot's '90s material also merits closer inspection thanks to formidable interpretive skills that found him moving from a raspy take on the Bobby Womack gem "Looking For a Love" to shifting gears for a lighter but no less effective version of Oasis' "Rockin' Chair."
10. Richard Thompson – Walking On a Wire: Richard Thompson 1968-2009 [4-CD set] (Shout! Factory) – Eve though there are two prior Richard Thompson collections, 1993's 3-CD Watching the Dark and 2006's 5-CD RT: The Life and Music of Richard Thompson, Walking On a Wire captures the honor of being the most chronologically faithful of the three. Songs from Thompson's time with Fairport Convention lead on through to his time recording with ex-wife Linda and his oft-overlooked '90s fare. The last disc features material from the live discs he's been selling at his shows for over a decade. It all ends up being a great studio and live overview of an artist whose songwriting is as exemplary as the six-string prowess he has become renowned for.
Honorable Mentions:
Buddy Holly – Buddy Holly Memorial Collection [3-CD set] (Geffen)
Woody Guthrie – My Dusty Roads [4-CD set] (Rounder)
Elvis Presley – Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight [4-CD set] (RCA/Legacy)

Glushko, new head of NPO Energia, briefed his new launch vehicle family to the VPK Military Industrial Commission on 13 August 1974. These met the requirements of the Ministry of Defense as described in 1973 in Plan Poisk and would replace the failed N1 and all existing launch vehicles. As required by the Ministry of Defense, they used only non-toxic, inexpensive Lox/Kerosene propellants; the various launch vehicles were modular, and used common engines and rocket bodies. The basic engine would be a four-chamber design with a vacuum thrust of 1,200,000 kgf. The modules had a gross mass of about 800 metric tons each, were six meters in diameter and about thirty meters long.
The new design family was called RLA - Rocket Flight Apparatus.
The RLA-120 was the smallest member, with a gross lift-off mass of 980 metric tons, using a single module with a 150 metric ton upper stage, payload 30 metric tons. First flight was to be in 1979, with POS modules to be assembled in orbit in the 1980-1981 period.
The RLA cluster method would allow the modules to be built in the factory and thoroughly tested individually without risking the entire launch vehicle. Total cost of the development program was put at 12.5 billion rubles.
The members of the VPK met the proposal with considerable skepticism. The final decision was that the plan had to be reworked. Brezhnev, Keldysh, and Ustinov would insist in the reformulation that the Lox/LH2 technology and capabilities of the US space shuttle had to be duplicated. The end result would be smaller Zenit and Energia launch vehicles and Buran space shuttle, with which neither the military or the Soviet engineering community was happy.
Keldysh was convinced that the US planned to use the shuttle for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Russia. Therefore the USSR needed an analogous capability to maintain the strategic balance. While this discussion was going on, the energies of TsKBEM were completely absorbed in the Apollo-Soyuz program, on which the prestige of the Soviet Union depended. Additional Details: here....

Love is a burning thing*
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
And the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild..
I fell into a burning ring of fire..

SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – One of the most successful group of seniors in program history closed out their collegiate careers on Saturday, as the Mississippi State men's golf team finished 12th at the Sugar Grove Regional.
MSU (75-over-par 939) turned in its best score of the weekend during Saturday's third round, shooting 22-over-par 310 to finish two strokes shy of 11th-placed Cal State Fullerton.
No. 9 Illinois overtook No. 21 UAB for first place at Sugar Grove, with No. 45 Purdue, No. 16 USC and No. 4 Cal rounding out the top five. The five squads will advance to the NCAA Championship, which is slated for May 23-28.
Senior Chad Ramey (t46) turned in a 19-over-par 235 to bring his season stroke average to 71.65 for the season. The Fulton, Miss., native edged out former Bulldog great Alex Rocha to set a new career-stroke record of 72.25 for the program.
The lone returning player, sophomore Ben Wood, tied with Ramey's 19-over-par 235. After shooting a pair of 80's for the first two rounds, Wood closed out his sophomore campaign with the best score (75) of any Bulldog at the Rich Harvest Farms course.
Finishing only a stroke apart from Ramey and Wood was senior Joe Sakulpolphaisan. The Thailand native finished the regional with a 20-over-par 236 to tie for 50th overall.
Rounding out the Maroon and White scorecard from Sugar Grove were seniors Barrett Edens (t57) and Axel Boasson (t64), the pair finished with a 22-over-par 238 and 27-over-par 243 respectively.

"That's one of the unfortunate by-products of a married woman falling in love. There are almost always casualties, Eve."
In retrospect it seems I've lost
I could have won, but at what cost?
Is it too late now to be brave?
When there's no love left I can save
Feeling guilt's my one regret
I let you take all you could get
I'm coming back to take what's mine
I'm not afraid to cross the line

Some of the most amazing scientific discoveries happen in the field, and with this portable microscope kit, budding biologists can collect insects and plant material to view indoors or out. A self-contained incubation chamber encourages live specimen growth, so young naturalists can see how plants change over time and how bugs behave when light conditions change. Comes with a journal of observation charts and ideas for experiments, like watching how yeast reacts to light and temperature changes. Kids can write down their predictions and see if what they hypothesize in the field is also true in the lab, just like real scientists.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Exagen Diagnostics and Medco Research Institute have started a pilot program to assess the ability of the former's test to optimize low-dose methotrexate (MTX) therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Called Nimble (novel interventions in methotrexate boosts levels of effectiveness), the study aims to understand how MTX is being absorbed, retained, and metabolized by a patient.
Exagen's lab test, called Avise PG, will be used to measure whether patients are receiving an appropriate dose of MTX. Avise PG measures MTX polyglutamate levels, the active metabolites of MTX. Medco Research Institute will work with Medco clients to recruit patients to take part in the Nimble pilot program.
When a volunteer receives an initial MTX prescription for RA, Medco will provide the prescribing physician with the Avise PG test, and patients will be alerted that a blood-draw for the Avise PG test will be performed at their next office visit.
Once the physician's office has collected the blood sample, it will be sent to Exagen Diagnostics' CLIA-certified laboratory for testing. Exagen will provide the test results to the prescribing physician to make dose changes accordingly and to Medco Research Institute.
It is anticipated that up to 400 Medco members who are new to MTX therapy will have the Avise PG testing performed. The downstream medical and pharmacy claims data from these patients will be compared to a similar number of Medco members who did not receive Avise PG testing as part of their care in order to determine the clinical utility and cost effectiveness of this intervention.
"The findings we observe through the Nimble pilot will be an important step in understanding the value of testing like this and may bring us closer to making this testing standard practice for RA patients," notes Felix Frueh, Ph.D., president, Medco Research Institute.

Twelve years ago, Mullen was a part of Urban Meyer's staff at the Ohio school, the launching point of both Mullen and Meyer's careers.
The two continued to rise in the world of college football, with Meyer now the head coach at Ohio State and Mullen, of course, the head coach of MSU.
Now, Mullen's staff is reminiscent of the one he got his start with at Bowling Green back in 2001.
Wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales was the receivers coach for the Falcons on that staff, offensive line coach John Hevesy worked with the offensive line at BGSU, as well, and Assistant AD for Football Operations Jon Clark was actually a student working with the team back in those early days.
"Jon Clark is an alum," Mullen said. "He asked if he's gonna get the week off. We said, 'No, but we're gonna be real careful about what meetings we let you in.'"
In fact, Mullen even met his wife Megan while coaching at Bowling Green as she was a local weekend sports anchor.
So many relationships still going today, including former players and other coaches employed elsewhere, got their start at that small school in Ohio.
"It helped a lot of different people get where they are," Mullen told reporters.
Earlier this week, Mullen was in his office with Gonzales as the two went over game plans. His wife, at the other end of the office, was talking to a reporter about how she and her husband met.
Mullen and Gonzales couldn't help getting distracted and looking up old scores and offensive records they set together at Bowling Green.
"We had some good teams, now," Mullen reminded his wife.
Included in those two seasons was an undefeated record against BCS-conference teams, despite playing in the MAC, something both coaches were happy to point out.
"I learned an awful lot there," Mullen said. "Met my wife, which changes a lot about who you are. Grew up a lot while I was there, both personally and football-wise. It was a good time, a good experience for me."
On Saturday, Mullen hosts his former school and his life, while certainly still young, comes full-circle for at least a day.
In barely a decade, he went from wide-eyed quarterbacks coach on his first job, to the head coach of an SEC school.
"You always say, 'Where will I be in 10 years?' I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think I'd be here, the head coach at Mississippi State University."
And he wouldn't change a thing.
After Saturday, the Bulldogs are off a week before hosting Kentucky on Thursday, Oct. 24, in a game televised by ESPN.

Incident Type: Beware Of Bomb Threat Extortion Scam By Phone
Contact Person: Captain Patrick Whitney, 575-763-9436
The Clovis Police Department asks that the public and local businesses be aware of a new phone scam in the area in which businesses seem to be the main focus of a bomb threat extortion scam in which a person calls saying that there are bombs planted in the business and they will detonate them unless several thousand dollars are wired to a location and if they contact law enforcement they will detonate the bombs immediately.
Today, the local Clovis Wal-Mart and the ENMR Plateau businesses were affected by such an extortion attempt. The phone numbers being used by the suspect(s) appears to be masked (fake) and resembles other scams with masked phone numbers coming in from overseas areas outside the United States. Please do not fall for this scam or send any money to these people. Contact the Clovis Police Department, Curry County Sheriff Office or New Mexico State Police, depending on the jurisdiction you live or may have a business in where the phone call occurs.
These types of cases are forwarded to federal authorities due to the technological and often foreign nature of the crimes being perpetrated from somewhere outside the United States in which local jurisdictions have no ability, authority or jurisdiction to investigate.
Anyone having any information about these cases of extortion is asked to contact the police department at 575-769-1921 or Citizens may use TipSoft to provide this information and remain anonymous. Text users can send their tip to: "CRIMES" (274637) with the keyword TIPCPD. In other words, citizens can text "TIPCPD plus their crime tip" to 274637 (CRIMES). Citizens can submit anonymous tips using their PC or mobile phone by going to www.tipsubmit.com, or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 575-763-7000.

Val Baughman can remember it like it was yesterday.
Seventeen years ago, the rookie Cloverleaf girls soccer coach left the Brunswick High School stadium with a dejected team after the program's first loss — an 11-0 defeat inflicted by the Blue Devils.
"I remember walking out at the Brunswick Stadium and looking at (then athletic director) Rose Marie Torma and saying 'We'll get better,'" Baughman said.
Boy was she right.
The veteran coach has seen her starter program blossom into one of the elite ones in the area and while the Colts will return some key pieces from this season's Suburban League championship team, they will do it for the first time in school history with a new coach after Baughman announced her retirement over the weekend.
"The girls year-to-year have made me just really proud," she said. "I've had hardworking girls, talented girls and I've just had the most rewarding experience… one of the best of my life.
"It just feels like the right time. Of course, there's a part of me that is extremely sad that I'm leaving, but there is a bigger part that knows in my heart that it's the right time."
After Cloverleaf's 2-0 Brunswick Division I Sectional final loss to North Royalton last Saturday, Baughman told her team that she would not be returning for her 18th season.
"I knew it would be my last year at the beginning of the season," Baughman said. "I told (athletic director) Craig Walkup, my coaching staff and obviously my family and a few friends," she said. "It was hard and it was exciting. I still put my heart and soul into it. I still wanted to win the league. I wanted to do everything the same as I always had done, because that's just how I am.
"I actually think I enjoyed it a little bit more. I don't know if that sounds odd, but I tried to enjoy it more with knowing that it was my last." And why wouldn't she.
The Colts won a third straight outright SL title this year —the fourth in the program's history – with a roster that has three players already committed to Division I colleges and another prepared to play D-II soccer. The other league crown was shared with Revere in 1998.
Baughman, who was the D-I District Coach of the Year and Kim Mahoney Ethics Award winner a season ago, has compiled a 209-64-31 mark and has never had a losing season. Even in that inaugural campaign, Cloverleaf found a way to compile a 9-8-1 mark.
Despite all that success, the Colts coach still knew now was the right time to step aside.
"You always think that you could go another year, but there has to be a time that you end," Baughman admitted.
"It's tough too, because there are such good kids coming back. Not just great athletes and soccer players, but nice kids that are easy to like and are really fun … so that makes it really hard, too."
Forward Heather Buckwald and midfielder Megan Connor – two of the team's top three scorers— are just a couple of the players that Cloverleaf will have back next season.
While her days as a head coach are over, Baughman, a physical education teacher at Cloverleaf Middle School the last 30 years, doesn't rule out the possibility of being on a pitch in some capacity next fall.
"I'm stepping down as head coach, but I've left options out there in coming back, because it's such a big part of me," she said. "I know I'm going to miss it. I'm not saying that I am coming back, but I'm open to the possibility."
It has been quite a journey for Baughman. She has seen the sport of girls soccer evolve while watching her program grow into one that most rural-area schools have a tough time producing on a consistent basis.
"I could've not ever imagined it would turn out this fantastic," Baughman said. "It's been fun from Day One and I would do it all again if I could. I really would.
"I've had such great support from the parents, administration and the Cloverleaf community. I've loved it all. It's been fun."

Issued June 22, 2007
In general the emerging 0871 market is very different to the established premium rate services (PRS) market. Generally, any revenue share is a bi-product of the business rather than the core function of the business as it is with PRS. Therefore BT does not believe that the proposed level of regulation is fair or proportionate at this time due to the lower call costs involved and the lack of evidence of consumer harm.
BT understood from the pre-consultation that the intention was for lighter touch regulation with swift intervention and tough sanctions where unscrupulous organisations are operating. BT believes that such an approach would be more proportionate.
BT believes that these proposals could hinder the growth of the 0871 market, especially at the small business end of the market, and potentially would nudge providers towards alternative number ranges.

Video Highlights | Box Score | Box Score in PDF Format
DEKALB, Ill. – Junior forward Ebony Ellis tallied her 12th career double-double, and fourth of the season, with 18 points and 10 rebounds, lifting the Northern Illinois women's basketball team (5-6) to a 61-55 win over in-state rival Illinois-Chicago (3-8) at the Convocation Center Tuesday night.
Junior forward Mauvolyene Adams fell just one point short of her second-consecutive double double, scoring nine points to go along with 13 rebounds, and senior guard Kylie York chipped in 10 points to go with three rebounds and three assists.
UIC was led by Shameia Green's 20 points on 7-of-17 shooting, and Briana Hinkle scored 12 points. The Huskies held a decisive 46-37 rebounding advantage, and dished out 17 assists on 24 field goals. After falling behind by nine points, NIU out-scored the Flames by 16 points over the final 9:16.
NIU came out of the gate firing, jumping out to a 10-4 lead to force UIC into its first timeout less than four minutes into the contest (16:07). The Huskies extended their advantage to double digits, 14-4, after a transition three by York. NIU preserved at least a six-point lead for the ensuing seven minutes, before the Flames began to make their run.
UIC strung together a 10-6 spurt between the 7:55 and 1:59 marks of the opening half, trimming the Huskies' lead to just two, 26-24. NIU went back up by four (30-26) with 52 seconds remaining in the first stanza after Ebony Ellis drilled two free throws. But the Flames scored the final four points of the half, including a layup following a steal by Taylor Foulks with 24 seconds left to knot the score at 30-30, the first tie of the game. That was the score entering the locker room at halftime.
Ellis finished the first half with a game-high eight points on 3-of-6 shooting, while Mauvolyene Adams ripped down eight rebounds in the opening 20 minutes. UIC was led by Briana Hinkle's eight points. The Huskies held a 34-31 rebounding edge, and both teams shot less than 40 percent from the field.
UIC opened the second half like it ended the first, controlling the tempo, and claimed its first lead of the game (35-32) with 17:52 remaining, following a three-pointer by Shameia Green. After NIU cut the lead to 42-40 at the 13:49 mark, the Flames answered with an ensuing 9-2 spree, and forced Owens into a timeout with 9:16 left, and the Huskies trailing, 51-42.
The Huskies responded with a 9-1 run, and pulled within one, 53-52, after a drive and finish by York. After forcing a stop on defense, Adams gave NIU its first lead since the opening minute of the second half with a layup as time wound down on the shot clock. Marke Freeman then forced a steal on the other end, and took it coast-to-coast for another layup, giving NIU a 56-53 lead with 3:39 left.
After another layup by Hinkle, Rockford native Courtney Shelton answered with a three-pointer to give NIU a four-point edge, 59-55, with 2:17 remaining. Ellis sealed the seven-point win with an offensive rebound and ensuing layup with 38 seconds remaining.
NIU will wrap up non-conference play on the road on Sunday (Jan. 3), when the Huskies travel to the Windy City to take on host Chicago State at 2 p.m.

Rem Koolhaas's Flatiron Tower Trimmed?
The cantilevered design of 23 East 22nd Street might be getting a chop.
Whispers over supposed problems at 23 East 22nd Street, the cantilevering Rem Koolhaas–designed building in Madison Square Park, and its sister project, the lanky, 60-story One Madison Park, have grown louder in recent days. We hear that buyers are grumbling about the lobby — "It's not looking the way [some buyers] want," says one source — while others are complaining that the entrance will apparently be on the less-pretty 23rd Street side, as opposed to quieter 22nd Street. Now comes word, via Curbed.com, that Koolhaas's design has been guillotined, its size now shrunk to eleven stories. Some wonder if Koolhaas will be attached to the project at all, or if all of the promised amenities will be delivered, which may drive some buyers in contract to rethink their plans.
"I would think that a significant change in construction details in the offering plan raises the likelihood of more deals not closing," muses one veteran of the residential-real-estate industry. "At a time when developers are trying desperately to close out the units they've already sold, this is a significant problem." (We're still waiting to hear from the Buildings Department about whether proposed amendments to the plan are actually significant.) The developers and brokers say not to worry — it's still Rem's building. "The final size of the Rem Koolhaas–designed south tower is still undetermined, but all the Koolhaas-designed amenities in the base of the building (lobby, pool, gym, club room, wine storage, screening room) are moving forward as planned," says Brown Harris Stevens's Wilbur Gonzalez, who's repping the building with colleague Wendy Maitland. In other words, your quality of life won't decline, but they'll get back to you on the quality of the architecture.

Back to Sleep Campaign
Okay, so if you're a GOOD PARENT you put your baby on his/her back to sleep, right? I mean, if you don't want your baby to DIE of SIDS, you put your baby on his/her back. RIGHT?
Or did you?
In my vast experience, babies seem to want to sleep on their stomachs. They feel all cozy, snuggled up to the mattress. If you lay them on their back they do that funny thing where their arms splay out to their sides and they often wake up.
Feel free to post as Anonymous on this one. No judgments from me since we have had a family bed for over 8 years (and nobody has ever even come close to suffocating or dying). I'm just curious about what you're actually doing. People don't talk about it much because they don't want to be perceived as "bad parents" if their kid sleeps on the belly.
And yes, the post is coming up on SIDS being linked to a serotonin deficiency. Be patient.

With my first son I figured it didn't matter how they slept. When he was about 4 months old and he learned to roll over, he rolled over at night and I walked in his room to find him blue and not breathing. After that I have yet to put a baby on their stomach to sleep.Once this one is born, I don't know. I may do it,I may not. Not judging anyone that chooses to. That's just my experience.ReplyDelete
We put both of our boys on their backs to sleep as babies and now - at ages 3 1/2 and 6 1/2 - they are still back sleepers. Well... If they haven't sat up in bed and collapsed between their legs!ReplyDelete
We always did back sleeping at our house and my kids have always been wonderful sleepers. Even sleeping through the night around 6-8 weeks. Once they learned to roll there was nothing I could do but we always start them on their backsReplyDelete
Riley sleeps on his stomach. He's got pretty bad reflux and back-sleeping just wasn't cutting it. He woke up every 20 minutes screaming in pain.ReplyDelete
Once we put him on his stomach, he stopped screaming and has slept 12 hours a night since.
I bought the movement monitor for my peace of mind. He's rolling over now, so really it's impossible to keep him on his back. When he wakes in the morning, he rolls right over onto his back and shoots his arms up for me to get him.

Cable Weighs in on QE—Again
Vince Cable, the U.K.'s outspoken Business Secretary, Friday published a pamphlet laying out the tools available to cope with a worsening economic outlook. Tool number one: more quantitative easing.
Mr. Cable makes it clear the U.K.'s coalition government will not row back on its plans to close the nation's structural budget deficit and if action is needed to prop up demand "the best available instrument" is an expansion of the BOE's program of asset purchases, or QE.
Mr. Cable's remarks would seem to suggest he favors a resumption of QE to tackle the "serious threat" to the U.K. economy posed by weak demand.
He's said something similar in an interview in July, while recent comments by George Osborne, the U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer, about the scope for "monetary activism" would suggest he too isn't averse to more money printing.
Of course, the problem for Mr. Cable and his political colleagues is that QE isn't in the government's toolbox. It's in the Bank of England's, and it has yet to oblige.
Policy makers there have kept the central bank's asset purchase program on hold since the last of £200 billion of gilts were bought in February 2010. They've repeatedly said it will be the inflation outlook that determines whether they'll pump more money into the system.
Specifically, their forecasts would have to change to suggest that inflation was poised to drop substantially below the bank's 2% target in a year or two to justify turning on the printing presses.
Adam Posen, the foremost policy dove on the bank's rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee, believes that's exactly what will happen, but he has so far been unable to convince any of his colleagues to join him in voting for more QE. Until he can, or the U.K.'s economic fortunes change, the bank can expect the political pressure for action to intensify.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
When the Alabama Gymnastics team returned to campus for its first team meeting Tuesday it was greeted by a coaching staff that remains the same, but is stronger overall due to a change in titles.
Long-time volunteer coach and two-time NCAA Balance Beam Champion for the Crimson Tide Dana Dobransky Duckworth will become a full-time assistant coach beginning Sept. 3 and David Patterson, who enters his 31st season with Alabama this year, will be the volunteer coach.
"We are very excited about these changes, ones that will certainly make our program even stronger," head coach Sarah Patterson, also in her 31st season at Alabama, said. "Bringing Dana in as a full-time assistant will give us four extremely knowledgeable and experienced coaches in the gym every day, a tremendous benefit for our student-athletes."
David Patterson, the Tide's associate head coach through last season, is retiring from the University which allows him to assume the volunteer coaching position. He had surgery after the 2005 season to fuse four vertebrae in his spine to help ease chronic back problems.
"David and I had discussed these changes as a possibility several years from now, but the more we discussed it this summer, the more we realized this change would be beneficial sooner rather than later," Sarah Patterson said. "With the pain David was experiencing this summer we realized it would be advantageous to reorganize our staff in this way now. There was no search; there was no thought of someone else. I always knew if we had a coaching vacancy, Dana would be the first person considered."
"Not only will this development help position Alabama for several more championship runs, it will also help our family long term from a health and quality of life standpoint," Sarah Patterson said. "David and I are excited about the changes and welcome Dana's enthusiasm, passion and love for our program into the gym on a full-time basis. We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work side-by-side with one of the athletes we believe represents the epitome of everything we have strived to achieve in our program and to have her help shape and mold the next generation of Alabama gymnasts."
Duckworth leaves a highly successful career with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals to become a full-time coach, joining the Pattersons and assistant coach Bryan Raschilla, now in his 13th season with the Tide.
"This move could not have come about if everyone involved had not been completely committed to this program and helping it remain at the forefront of collegiate gymnastics," Sarah Patterson said. "Dana is leaving a very lucrative position with Pfizer, and for David and I this move is a sacrifice financially, but we all realized this was something that would very much help his health and our program."
David Patterson has coached Alabama since 1978 when he was the first hire Sarah Patterson made after she accepted the head coaching position. The Pattersons, who were married in 1983, completed their 30th season together last year, coaching the Tide to its 26th consecutive top-10 finish and 24th season in the top-6. Under the Pattersons, Alabama has won four NCAA Championships, five Southeastern Conference titles, 23 NCAA Regional Championships and posted 21 "final four" national finishes.
"This reorganization is perfect for our program at this time," Sarah Patterson said. "Recruiting travel had become more difficult for David, which is something we looked at in terms of his long-term health. As the volunteer coach he will not recruit off campus and can focus completely on the development of our team."
"I am extremely grateful to Coach Moore for his ongoing support of our program and this move in particular," Sarah Patterson said. "I also want to thank Mike Ward, our compliance director, for making sure this change was a possibility from an NCAA rules standpoint."
School starts on Wednesday for Alabama and the first official practice for the Tide gymnasts comes on September 11.
"It's a very exciting time at Alabama and for our program and we can't wait to get started preparing for the season." Sarah Patterson said.

I don't know the proper terminology, or even how to draw the right diagram, but I'm looking to work out
a for any given
a= the thick, horizontal line, distance from
yto circle's edge
x= can be considered the x axis
y= can be considered the y axis
- pink line is the secant (I love Wikipedia)
a must get shorter, the further down
y it is drawn. The second, lower thick horizontal line
a shows this.
I know
a (I know the radius of the circle) and I know the length of the second, lower line
a (because I know the distance along
x from the center to the pink line).
I want to find out
V, that is, a vector describing where the pink line bisects the circle. My idea is that (I'm a programmer not a mathematician) as line
a moves 'south' along
y, it must shorten according to some ratio or function of the radius of the circle.
y and
a are related by some function of the radius. Probably.
If someone knows that function, then I can work out
y for any given
a. So knowing
x, I can then work out
y in terms of
x and arrive at
If someone has a better way to work out
V, then let me know. In real life, the pink line is at an angle, but I will rotate the entire coordinate space, work out
V and then rotate it back :)
Excuse my ignorance.

Varying health premium subsidy amounts under health care law worry consumers
Eric Risberg, Associated Press
MIAMI — Linda Close was grateful to learn she qualified for a sizable subsidy to help pay for her health insurance under the new federal law. But in the process of signing up for a plan, Close said her HealthCare.gov account showed several different subsidy amounts, varying as much as $180.
Close, a South Florida retail worker in her 60's, said she got different amounts even though the personal information she entered remained the same. The Associated Press has reviewed Close's various subsidy amounts and dates to verify the information, but she asked that her financial information not be published for privacy reasons.
"I am the kind of person the Affordable Care Act was written for: older, with a pre-existing (condition) and my previous plan was being cancelled. I need it and I'm low income," said Close, who has spent more than six months appealing her case. "The government pledged to me that original tax credit amount. It's crazy."
Government officials say Close — and other consumers who have received different subsidy amounts — probably made some mistake entering personal details such as income, age and even ZIP codes. The Associated Press interviewed insurance agents, health counselors and attorneys around the country who said they received varying subsidy amounts for the same consumers. As consumers wait for a resolution, some have decided to go without health insurance because of the uncertainty while others who went ahead with policies purchased through the exchanges worry they are going to owe the government money next tax season.
These difficulties faced by Close and others are unfolding separately from the legal battle that flared this week when two federal appeals courts issued contradictory rulings on the subsidies in states that rely on the federal health exchange. The Obama administration says policyholders will keep getting financial aid as it sorts out the legal implications.
The government said consumers who received multiple subsidy estimates or disagree with their subsidy amount can appeal. The government hopes to resolve most of the appeals paperwork this summer. It's unclear how many people received or appealed varying subsidy amounts.
Still, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokesman Aaron Albright said consumers "should feel confident that they received an accurate determination based on the information they provided in their application."
Federal health officials ruled on Close's appeal last month, giving her yet another subsidy estimate, which was within a few dollars of the one she is currently receiving, her attorney said.
Subsidies are important to making premiums under the new health care law affordable. About 87 percent of the more than 8 million people who signed up for coverage under the law received subsidies, which are paid directly to the insurance company on behalf of individual consumers, according to data from federal health officials. Consumers pay the difference directly to the insurance company each month just as they do with private insurance.
Dallas insurance agent Jo Ann Charron said the different estimates her clients received varied as much as $100 a month.
"Some of them got more of a subsidy, some of them got less," she said.
Since consumers aren't required to use the entire amount, Charron said she encouraged her clients to accept at least $50 less than the highest subsidy quoted to give them a financial cushion in case the government ultimately decides that the lower amount applies.
The differing subsidy calculations are part of a mountain of data conflicts affecting at least 2 million people who signed up for coverage in the new health insurance exchanges. Most of the discrepancies involve important details about income, citizenship and immigration status — which affect eligibility and subsidies.

Eileen Davidson is the newest housewife in Beverly Hills. And, earlier this week, she began filming the fifth season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," alongside three of her co-stars.
On Wednesday, as Bravo cameras rolled, Davidson teamed up with Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards and Yolanda Foster. In photos, the four reality stars were seen indulging in some retail therapy in Los Angeles.
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards and Yolanda Foster grabbed lunch as cameras rolled on the Bravo hit in Los Angeles Wednesday, later meeting up with new castmate Eileen Davidson for a little retail therapy," Radar Online reported on Sept. 4.
Not present for the shopping trip were Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna, another new housewife. Adrienne Maloof was absent, as well.
In Aug. 2014, after the news of Davidson and Rinna's addition to the series hit the web, Maloof came forward, confirming her return to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." At the time, Maloof told Us Weekly she decided to return to the show to "mend things" with her former co-stars.
"It just made sense to maybe take this and come full circle from where I left off last time," she told the magazine. "I'm coming back, also, a bit wiser. I know what to expect now."

The official jobs report is out today and 209,000 jobs were added in July. Economists had expected 233,000 jobs. However, the totals for May and June were revised upwards by 15,000 over what was reported at the time. July is likely to be revised next month since that has been the trend over the past year. Despite adding 209,000 new jobs, the unemployment rate ticked up from 6.1 percent to 6.2 percent.
In July, 197,000 jobs were added in the private sector. Local governments added 12,000 jobs as part of a shift of programs from the federal government to local taxpayers due to sequestration. The Postal Service continued to cut employment, shedding 1,400 jobs last month. The federal and state governments added no new jobs.
Although spin will be put on these numbers one way or the other, 209,000 jobs is the average monthly gain over the last year. That means the economy continues to improve at the same pace. Everyone would like to see that pace increased, but there are a lot of factors preventing the economy and job growth from taking off. Uncertainty over conflicts around the globe is one; the other is the dysfunction and lack of performance by the Congress of the United States, particularly the House of Representatives.
One bright spot in the report is the strong increase in manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing added 28,000 jobs in July. These gains were in motor vehicles and parts, which hired an additional 15,000, and in furniture and related products which increased employment by 3,000. Over the prior 12 months, manufacturing had added an average of 12,000 jobs per month, primarily in durable goods industries. This is an indicator of a growing economy.
Another strong industry was construction. Employment increased by 22,000 in July. Within the industry, employment continued to trend up in residential building and in residential specialty trade contractors. Over the year, construction has added 211,000 jobs.
As good as the construction numbers were they were kept down by uncertainty over whether the highway trust fund would go broke today. Congress knew last year it would run out of money in August but it did nothing about it until yesterday. They put a band aid on the hemorrhage, funding highways until next May keeping the uncertainty over the fall and winter. States and local governments could not start projects this spring because the fund was going broke. As a result, two thirds of the construction season is lost due to the do-nothing Congress. Thousands of jobs could have been added.
The social assistance sector added 18,000 jobs over the month and 110,000 over the year. (The social assistance industry includes child day care and services for the elderly and persons with disabilities.) Some of this is attributed to the growing number of baby boomers requiring assistance. Some is due to the growing population of veterans requiring assistance after a decade of wars.
Employment in health care changed little with job gains in ambulatory health care services, which added 21,000 jobs. These were largely offset by losses in hospitals which were down 7,000, and nursing care facilities which cut back 6,000 positions. This trend is not due to the economy, it is do to changes in how health care is delivered. Because more people, particularly low-income people, now have insurance, they used emergency rooms less for routine health care. Many seniors are receiving care at home, not in hospitals or nursing homes.
Professional and business services added 47,000 jobs in July and has added 648,000 jobs over the past 12 months. In July, retail trade employment rose by 27,000 led by hiring by automobile dealers, food and beverage stores, and general merchandise stores. Over the past year, retail trade has added 298,000 jobs.
Mining added 8,000 jobs in July, with the bulk of the increase occurring in fracking which added 6,000 jobs. Over the year employment in this sector has risen by 46,000. Employment in leisure and hospitality changed little in July but has added 375,000 jobs over the year, primarily in food services and drinking places.
The July numbers could have been so much better if Congress spent more time governing, and less time in political posturing and brinkmanship.

In memory of my brother Robert, I'm sharing with you one of his many great works of art, a portrait of the Beatles.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles, when over 70 million Americans first met/viewed them on the stage of "The Ed Sullivan Show," Sunday, February 9th, 1964.
My brother, quiet and pensive, loved all things music and art. He went on to paint a portrait of 'The Fab Four' from a picture that appeared on a magazine cover years ago. It won him a scholarship, one of six altogether in our hometown of Rochester, New York. He left behind great works of art, once being compared to Van Gogh.
Cliche yes, but true, the good die young, and often times tragic. Like John Lennon and George Harrison. Memories, songs, art, talent, left behind, hovering above us in a ghost-like thought we'll never be able to grasp - 'why were they taken when so much more could have been accomplished?'
To Paul McCartney and Ringo Star, Happy 50th Anniversay. George and John, thank you for the songs you left behind.
And to my brother, though you never achieved fame or fortune in your lifetime, you were always a star in our eyes. You were a great talent gone too soon, leaving us with portraits and paintings, reminding us on the anniversary of one of your favorite bands how very much we miss you.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported yesterday that the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) is changing their minds about how single event liquor permits are approved.
The following is the entire entry for single event permits taken from the DABC website.
Single Event Permits
Single event permits are available from the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission for groups that want to sell liquor, wine, flavored malt beverages, beer, and heavy beer at temporary events. These are available to a bona fide partnership, corporation, limited liability company, political or religious organization, or incorporated association (including a recognized subordinate lodge, chapter or other local unit) that is conducting a civic or community enterprise or convention. The permit allows for the sale of alcoholic beverages to the general public, or to the organization's own invited guests for the duration of the event. The permit allows for cash bars and the sale of alcohol for fundraising purposes. Permits are issued by the commission once a month. Application must be made by the 10th of each month and the fee is $125.
Nowhere in the language does it state that these licenses are meant only for non-profits, as David Gladwell, chairman of the state liquor commission, said at Tuesday's monthly meeting. The wording specifically states that partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies may apply if they are conducting "a civic or community enterprise or convention." In both cases, Snowbird's Oktoberfest and many other festivals and holiday celebrations fit these guidelines and, in Snowbird's case, have been granted for nearly 40 years.
As Snowbird holds 19 different liquor licenses but there is still no license that allows them to serve alcohol in the area where Oktoberfest is held, the question becomes, how do they go about legally obtaining a permit to sell liquor during the event? How does any business?
The Utah DABC doesn't appear to have any answers.

Canadians Vote to Throw Out Government:
Canadian politicians will hit the campaign trail this holiday season after opposition parties seized upon a corruption scandal to bring down the minority government of Prime Minister Paul Martin in a vote of no confidence.
Monday's loss means an election for all 308 seats in the lower House of Commons, likely on Jan. 23. Martin and his Cabinet will continue to govern until then.
The Conservative Party teamed up with the New Democratic and Bloc Quebecois parties to bring down the government, claiming the ruling Liberal Party had lost its moral authority. Recent polls have given the Liberals a slight lead over the Conservatives, with the New Democrats in third place.
The same surveys suggest the Bloc Quebecois would sweep the French-speaking province of Quebec, making a majority government unlikely no matter which party wins the most seats.
Martin is expected to dissolve the House of Commons on Tuesday and set a firm date for the elections. Canadian law sharply restricts the duration of the campaign.
"The vote in the House of Commons did not go our way," Martin said. "But the decision of the future of our government will be made by Canadians. They will judge us."
It's the Captain's Quarters Effect!
Ed Morrissey, the revolutionary American blogger who was a key catalyst for the fall of the house of Martin, comments on the collapse of the Canadian libs here.

Katy Perry Sham Wedding Pictures, Russel Brand Helps with Lesbian Coverup
Katy Perry is a dangerous lesbian singer who only week ago, infuriated a nation after she tried to expose her bared chest on children's television show Sesame Street.
After the incident, we joined with many other action groups to protest Perry and demand her corporate sponsors respond in kind. That, they did.
Now, Perry is apologetic because she is losing more and more sponsorship each and every day. She is trying to convince parents and sponsors that she does not have a lesbian agenda to abduct and corrupt children's television programming.Too bad the truth always comes out, for Satan and Perry. Look at the exposed thighs. This is Katy Perry running during her "wedding", which took place in hindu India.
A bride should be regal and proud. Her thigh should only be exposed once her groom loosens it in the honeymoon sweet, yet, we see Perry running like a tribal pagan and exposing her body for all to see. This should be a day of revealing for only the groom, but too bad half of Hollywood harlots have already expose themselves in sinful ways to half the world.
This is a woman who tried to expose her lesbian milksugar treats to children on Sesame Street, then went on boring Saturday Night Live to do a skit to complain about it when we got her little episode banned.
Now there will be some libearls and her fans out there who try to say we're being petty and that I am personally vilifying Perry here, because she made a song about how it's a great experience to kiss girls when young women should find that repulsive.
That's not the issue here. The issue is that India is no place to have a wedding. People there bathe in filthy rivers and they even still have leprosy and Beubonic plague around every corner. They have child labor and discriminate people based on caste.
Now, with all that, here comes Katy Perry to have an Indian wedding. We are supposed to believe this? That she goes from having the most popular Lesbian anthem to being a normal, celibate woman who wants a family and husband.
Speaking of husband, Russell Brand. Let's see what he looked like on wedding day:
The crack fumes of Satan fuel the psychotic look in his eyes. Does he even know he's in New Delhi?
That is not the face of a normal bride and groom. We must also remember that India is the home of Bollywood, which is an even more perverse form of Hollywood where the Indian stars do all sorts of raunchy things that not even the deepest blankts of curry can cover. It's repulsive and whatever we do in America, Indians do it 100% nastier but with shoddy cameras and even more attention-yearnings actors and actresses.
Friends, Perry and Russell are probably filming some sort of skin flick over in India and are just using the stills from it to make us think they are married, so we will stop boycotting them.

text: Like Adventure Club, Zeds Dead is a Canadian dubstep duo. But where AC veers toward elegance in their productions, DC and Hooks go for an all-out bass assault. Hip-hop samples and influence abound in Zeds Dead productions, and the result is a slower strain of dance music than most other EDC artists. Expect a headbanging set with a mosh-pit feel.
