Board: Vail Town Council, Feb. 26 council retreat.
Present: Mayor Andy Daly and council members Ludwig Kurz, Kerry Donovan, Margaret Rogers, Susie Tjossem, Kevin Foley and Greg Moffet.
What they talked about: Council members spent much of the morning session talking about spending priorities. One of those discussions involved how to contribute to the town's many events, and how the town's Commission on Special Events.
The discussion centered primarily around how to define the town's "iconic" events - including the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival - and how to start "research and development" funding on new events.
Daly said those new events - which could include events promoting "health and well-being," a top priority for some council members - might not meet the commission's criteria for funding.
After a good bit of discussion - including just what defines an "iconic" event - the council decided to let staff work on the project.
What's next? Town Manager Stan Zemler and other staff members will work on a plan that will every year evaluate what events the town will absolutely fund, and how to develop a separate mechanism for supporting existing events, new events and one-time projects such as the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships.

TUSCALOOSA | Tuscaloosa heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder was arrested Saturday in Las Vegas on a charge of domestic battery by strangulation. Details of the incident remain unclear.
Wilder was held in the Clark County Detention Center before posting $15,000 bail. Wilder did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday.
The 27-year-old Wilder is best known for winning the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He subsequently took the nickname "Bronze Bomber."
Wilder attended the Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero fight in Las Vegas. During that trip he was involved in an altercation and arrested.
Under Nevada law as of July 2009, domestic battery by strangulation is a Class B or Class C felony. A Class B felony is subject to 1-20 years in prison and a fine equal or up to $10,000. A Class C felony is subject to 1-5 years in prison and a fine equal or up to $15,000.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Brianna Singh's goal in the 64th minute was the only score of the game, as Southeastern Louisiana (6-1-1, 1-0-0 Southland) knocked off the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team 1-0 on Friday. It marked the conference opener for both teams.
Audrey Baldwin had another sterling game in net for the Islanders (1-6-0, 0-1-0), making seven saves in the defeat. Hope Sabadash posted five saves for the Lions. Southeastern outshot the Islanders 16-10 in the win. A crowd of 403 turned out despite the threat of rain.
"Overall, I'm very pleased with the team's performance today," head coach Shanna Caldwell said. "It was not the end result we hoped for, but there are many positives starting conference play. Baldwin had another great game in goal today. She stayed connected well and controlled the box.
"I think our team knows we have another level that we can reach and they are hungry to come back Sunday with a strong performance," Caldwell added. "I also wanted to thank the fans for braving the weather today and showing their support."
The lone score of the game came on a header from Singh that tucked just inside the left post at 63:46. Amber Lasher beat her defender on the right side and got just enough space on the edge of the penalty area to send a ball to Singh, who was crashing into the 6. The freshman got her head on the cross and found the back of the cage to make it 1-0, her third goal of the season.
The Islanders were not without scoring opportunities in the second half. In the final five minutes, with the score still 1-0, the home squad earned its finest chance. Hailey Sutton played a nice ball to Meghan Cordero just outside of the box, and the Las Vegas native ripped a shot that was deflected just wide by Sabadash. The Lions squelched the ensuing corner opportunity, and the Islanders were unable to mount any further offense.
The first half was scoreless, but not for a lack of chances. The Islanders had their best opportunity in the 35th minute, with two strong opportunities to crack the scoreboard. In both cases, Cordero set up the play, as the first cross was knocked aside by keeper Sabadash. On the second, Brooke Erdmann started the play with a brilliant back heel to send Cordero in, and her cross was headed just wide by Hannah Joseph.
Southeastern's finest opportunity came in the final 45 seconds of the frame. Lasher sent a gorgeous through ball on the far side to a streaking Marisa Rodrigues. Rodrigues came in alone on Baldwin, and the senior denied her first opportunity, then saw the second shot carom off the right post and harmlessly away.
The Islanders will continue their Southland-opening weekend on Sunday, when they face undefeated Nicholls at 1 p.m. at Dugan Stadium. Tickets can be purchased from the Islanders Athletics Ticket Office by calling 825-BALL (2255) and live stats and video will be available on GoIslanders.com.

Elkins Fordland, which has been one of the area's premier businesses since 1999, will be expanding its scope beginning Aug. 1.
Owner Jim Jackson said he is excited to bring Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles to the Elkins area.
"This is a great opportunity for the community that will create 20 to 30 new jobs and bring popular brands to Randolph and all of the surrounding counties," Jackson said. "Jeep, in particular, is a very popular, quality brand in this area, with a loyal customer base.

Jim Jackson, owner of Elkins Fordland, shows the location of a temporary facility that will house its new additions. Beginning in August, the group will offer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles.
"Now you will be able to purchase, service and buy parts without traveling 60 miles," he said. "Ram truck is a growing brand, as are many of the Chrysler Dodge products, and the people of our community will have those options right here on the Beverly Pike."
Jackson said the goal is to have a team in place, facilities and equipment ready and vehicles for sale by the first of August, and to then create an entirely new space for the new lines.
"We plan to have a new facility built in 18 months," Jackson said. "We are currently taking applications and are beginning to search for key team leaders."
Jackson said Fordland is widening the current display area and preparing the new facility on the Beverly five-lane to accommodate the extra vehicle inventory and customer parking.
"We are a few weeks away from completing our temporary facilities," Jackson said. "When it is finished, we will have room for six service bays, four sales offices and a parts department. With our 6.5 acres, there will be plenty of room to complete the new facility and keep an excellent selection of vehicles for both businesses."
Randolph County customers accounted for 50 percent of Elkins Fordland's 2012 sales. Additional sales came from 29 West Virginia counties and 12 additional states.
"I feel with the addition of the Chrysler Group products, Elkins will become more of an auto buyers destination and Elkins Fordland's business will actually improve," Jackson said. "We are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience.
"Since competition sometimes brings out the best practices in people, I believe the inter-dealership experience will make us better," he said. "People will learn from each other.
"I see this new business as a plus for the new team, a plus for car buyers, a plus for Elkins Fordland and a plus for all vendors, contractors and their communities. Most of all, I think this is a plus for our community."
Along with looking forward to the future, Jackson paid tribute to those who have contributed to the business in the past.
"Let me thank the people of Randolph and the surrounding counties for the tremendous support you have given us over the last 14 years, to make Elkins Fordland a successful business and a big part of this wonderful community," Jackson said.
"Elkins Fordland will continue to sell and service Ford vehicles and operate exclusively as your Ford dealer. Our commitment to growing the Ford brand and servicing our Ford customers is stronger than ever."
He also stressed that Elkins Fordland will maintain the service it has been known for over the years.
"Elkins Fordland will continue to sell and service Ford vehicles and operate exclusively as your Ford dealer," Jackson said. "Our commitment to growing the Ford brand and servicing our Ford customers is stronger than ever."

Brevard professor designs sculptures for trail markers
Published: Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
Eight sculptures created by Kyle Lusk, Brevard College associate professor of art, were recently unveiled as part of the Stringer's Ridge Trailhead Markers Public Art Project in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Lusk was commissioned to create the sculptures to mark four new mountain biking trails in the newly opened Stringer's Ridge Park, a forested area amid the urban heart of North Chattanooga. He was selected for the project from among 75 artists across the country by a group of Public Art Committee members, representatives from the Trust for Public Land and others involved in the development of the park.
A Brevard native, Lusk created the works in Brevard and took them to Chattanooga for installation. Each trailhead features a sculptural kiosk holding the trail map and a 12-foot-high spire that serves as a marker for that specific trail. The sculptures were created of weathering steel, and each spire represents the path of the trail that it marks as well as its orientation on the map.
"I have always been inspired by the mountains here in Brevard where I grew up, and I love mountain biking and hiking, so creating the sculptures for the mountain bike trails in Chattanooga was a great fit for me," Lusk said.
"I also really loved the opportunity to create such a large connected body of work like this that engages the viewers in their recreation and is such a part of the landscape and its use."
Lusk has taught and created sculpture at Brevard College since 2005. He first studied art at Brevard College, earning an associate of fine arts degree in 1992. He continued his undergraduate studies at East Carolina University and earned a master's degree in fine arts from ECU in 1998.
Since completion of his graduate work, Lusk has created and exhibited sculptural work in cities throughout the Southeast and has many works in public and private collections.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Cordy Glenn, OG-OT, Georgia. The Steelers are being given Memphis DT Dontari Poe in plenty of mocks, and he makes sense as a replacement for veteran Casey Hampton, who is coming off ACL surgery. But have you seen the state of the Steelers' offensive line the past two seasons? Until convinced otherwise, we consider Pittsburgh's OL issues to be its top priority.
I dont believe Glenn is there at 24 but if this were to happen, I sure would be happy.

Because of an editor's error, a story about plans to raise the flag of the People's Republic of China in San Leandro incorrectly spelled the name of a person giving public comment to the San Leandro City Council. The person's name is Tsering Dolkar.
SAN LEANDRO -- Over the objections of residents and human rights groups, the city will raise the flag of the People's Republic of China on Oct. 1, a day that honors the formation of the sovereign state in 1949 by communist leader Mao Zedong.
The City Council voted 4-3 Monday to approve the request by Councilman Benny Lee, a Chinese-American who said he intended the move as a sign of support for the city's growing Chinese population and a sign the city is open for Chinese business and investment. The approval -- endorsed by Lee and fellow council members Ursula Reed, Diana Souza and Jim Prola -- garnered applause, as well as boos and shouts of displeasure from a packed council chamber.
"Raising the flag gives us the opportunity to show the openness to the people of China, the business people of China, to show that we welcome that investment and we welcome the prosperity," Lee said. Raising the flag also is a way "to acknowledge and accept the people of Asian ancestry, Chinese ancestry" in San Leandro, he said.
Monday's vote became a sort of Tibet versus China showdown, with Tibetans, Tibet sympathizers and others saying the flag represents oppression and signals the city condones the actions of the Chinese government. About a dozen people rallied outside City Hall before the meeting, many draped in the Tibetan flag and carrying signs that read, "China does not practice human rights," "USA is not a property of China," and "China does not deserve this honor."
A MoveOn.org petition, launched last week by local resident Margarita Lacabe, urged the council to reject the request. It had more than 235 signatures from people worldwide by Monday night and the number grew to more than 340 Tuesday. Lacabe also blasted the proposal on her local news blog, San Leandro Talk.
The flag request rankled the Tibetan National Congress and the nonprofit Tibettruth, prompting both groups to write letters of objection to the council and post them on their websites.
Tashi Kungo, president of Tibetan Association of Northern California, told the council the flag is "stained with the blood of Tibetans, Uyghurs and Chinese" and flying it would be "endorsing this brutal regime."
Arlene Lum, president of the Asian Community Cultural Association of San Leandro, disagreed, saying, "The gesture does not represent how we feel about the politics in China. It merely shows how much we welcome the Chinese population in San Leandro, for more Chinese to invest in San Leandro, to spend their money and live here."
Giovanni Vassallo, president of the Bay Area Friends of Tibet, contended that the flag symbolizes much more.
"That Chinese flag was formed with occupation and colonization and resources extraction in mind when it included Tibet as one of the five stars without any consultation with the Tibetans," Vassallo told the council. "The People's Republic of China has consistently refused to let the Tibetans exercise their religious or political aspirations."
Tsering Dolkar, 29, also urged the council to reject the request. Dolkar was born in India after her parents fled Tibet and now works with the San Francisco Regional Tibetan Youth Congress.
"When I see this country who has given me so much, honor a country which has taken everything from me and other Tibetans living in exile and inside Tibet, I just can't take it," Dolkar said.
Council members reflected the audience's divisions in their split vote.
Prola, before casting his yes vote, said, "My vote tonight is going to be honoring the Chinese people and not the Chinese government."
Councilwoman Pauline Cutter said that while she supports the city's diversity and Chinese citizens, the flag raising "is too hurtful to too many people," and voted against it.
Also opposing the request was Councilman Michael Gregory, who cited the divisiveness of the issue, and Mayor Stephen Cassidy, who said symbols are important. "A national flag is a representation of people. It's also a representation of government," he said.
San Leandro is not the first city in the region to raise the flag of the People's Republic of China. San Francisco and Alameda have flown the flag outside City Hall on or around Oct. 1 in recent years, and Milpitas raised the flag in the late 1990s, according to media reports.

The common cold is an infection caused by one of thousands of related viruses, causing symptoms of sore throat, sneezing, headache, congestion, runny nose, and fatigue. These symptoms are self-limited, meaning that they will go away on their own in due time. The onset of symptoms of a common cold is often sudden and tends to resolve in 4 days to 2 weeks.
Severe sore throat can be caused by the bacteria streptococcus. "Strep throat," as it is commonly called, can cause heart damage. Antibiotic treatment is necessary to prevent this complication.
Weak evidence suggests that homeopathic remedies might have a place in the treatment of colds. However, the best-designed studies (including one that evaluated
classical homeopathy) failed to find evidence of benefit.
The homeopathic remedy
was tested in two
double-blind, placebo-controlled trials to evaluate its potential benefit for sore throat symptoms caused by colds.1,2
In these studies, involving a total of about 300 people, use of the remedy at a potency of D2 appeared to reduce the duration of symptoms. However, these studies suffer from several weaknesses in study design, making the results unreliable.
A small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 60 adults and children found positive results with a homeopathic cough syrup as a treatment for a dry cough.3
The syrup contained
Drosera, Arnica, Belladonna, Artemisia cina, Cossus cacti, Corallium rubrum, Cuprum Ferrosi phosphas, Uragoga ipecacuanha,
A study of 53 patients compared the homeopathic remedy
Eupatorium perfoliatum D2 against aspirin as a treatment for the common cold and found them equally effective.4
Unfortunately, this was not a double-blind study; furthermore, aspirin itself has not been shown effective for the common cold.
A double-blind study compared aspirin against a combination homeopathic medicine that included
Aconitum, Bryonia, Lachesis, Eupatorium,
Again, the treatment proved to be as effective (or as ineffective) as aspirin, but in the absence of a placebo group the results are difficult to interpret.
A well designed, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolling 170 children with recurrent colds found no benefit with
classical homeopathic treatment.4
All participants were evaluated by trained homeopathic practitioners and were prescribed remedies, but only about half of them actually received the remedy; the others received placebo treatment. The results failed to show any benefit with classical homeopathy versus placebo.
A double–blind, placebo-controlled study involving 994 children (ages 4 to 15 years old) evaluated treatment with
Euphrasia 30c for the prevention of conjunctivitis (essentially, a cold in the eye).6
The investigators chose this remedy since it is frequently self-prescribed by people with conjunctivitis and often recommended by non-medical practitioners. However, no benefits were seen.
In a 12 week double-blind study, 251 children were given either placebo or one of three homeopathic remedies selected according to a standard Norwegian, simplified, constitutional , homeopathic protocol.7
The homeopathic remedies failed to prove more effective than placebo.
classical homeopathy, there are many possible homeopathic treatments for the common cold, to be chosen based on various specific details of the person seeking treatment.
For example, if you are very restless and experience aches down to the bone in addition to other cold symptoms, you fit the
symptom picture
Eupatorium. For this use, the remedy is generally recommended in a potency between 6c and 30c, which is a significantly more dilute dosage than the 2x potency used for some conditions.
If you have primarily a sore throat and swollen tonsils (relieved by cold drinks, but not hot drinks) accompanied by shooting pain in the ears, aching joints, muscle soreness, restlessness, and prostration, then you more closely fit the homeopathic indication for
Several herbs and supplements have shown promise for treating or preventing colds. For more information, see the
Colds and Flus

Fremont's Irvington High School class of '74 celebrated its 40th reunion in style last weekend. There was a bocce tournament Friday night, wine tasting and sightseeing the next day, followed by the big dinner-dance. But attendees won't remember anything more fondly than the Sunday farewell barbecue, where Bob Buum, the long-ago track-and-field coach, was reunited with David Hamilton, a special needs student he took under his wing.
They embraced, they smiled, and they posed for pictures as cameras snapped. Then they fondly reflected on four years during which they developed a near father-and-son relationship.
"(Special education teacher) Bill Stanley asked me one day if I could use a young fellow as a student manager," Buum said, "so I met with David. He could reel off the batting averages of every player on the A's, so I knew he was into sports."
"My favorite part of high school," Hamilton said, "was being a manager for coach Buum. He treated me with respect and a lot of goodness."
The kid picked up towels, toted the first-aid kit and handled equipment, but mostly he acquired a self-confidence that doesn't come easily to those with learning disabilities.
"Coach Buum took him under his wing," said David's younger brother, Paul. "He was his protector. It was a different time back then -- there was no such thing as political correctness -- and David was different from other kids. But nobody picked on David because they'd have to deal with coach Buum."
Buum prefers to remember the way Hamilton accepted responsibility. ("He was the kind of kid you could trust with your keys.") Whatever job he was given, he completed. If there was a deadline, he met it. He soon earned classmates' respect.
"I was a disciplinarian," Buum said. "Athletes had to have their hair cut and beards shaved. What amazed me was the way juniors and seniors would listen to David. If he told them to go home and shave, they did it."
The youngster with the learning disability became a part of every pep rally and a presence at every game. "At football games, he'd get down on the field and tell people to cheer," said classmate Karon Giovannoni. "Everyone in school loved him because he was everywhere."
Classmates remember a basketball game against Newark, when Hamilton was in charge of sweeping the court at halftime. Not to be deterred from his duties, he innocently swept through the middle of a Newark pep team midroutine. When two Newark fans rose to shove him out of the way, a sea of Irvington students rushed to his side. "I thought we were going to have a donnybrook," Buum said.
"High school was the best time of David's life," Paul said. "He was somebody at Irvington High. There were 600 kids in his class, and when he walked across the stage at graduation, his whole class stood up and gave him an ovation."
Buum had other student-managers, but he said none was as memorable as Hamilton. Classmates clearly felt the same way. When they learned that Hamilton, who lives in a group home in Sherman, Texas, would be unable to afford to attend the reunion, they pitched in to cover his travel expenses.
"I think he had a ball," said Giovannoni. "He was all over the dance floor Saturday. There wasn't anyone who didn't want to have their picture taken with him."
Best of all, he saw his old friend coach Buum, the man who made a special needs student feel special.

EDITORIAL: Bryant's legacy remains untouchable
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7:24 p.m.
Nostalgia among Alabama alumni and fans for the late coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant seems to wax when the Crimson Tide's football fortunes are at their lowest. True, it never really wanes, although it would be fair to say that when the Tide is high, as it is now and, for instance, in 1992, the longing is perhaps not so intense or desperate.
Alabama fans have been accused of loving Bryant too much. Everyone from national sports analysts to the fans of Alabama's most bitter rivals have, at times, mocked Alabama fans for their fixation on the past and claimed that it has damaged the Tide's prospects for the future. Right now, the prospects for UA's football future look pretty bright.
But that might not stop some from rolling their eyes as Alabama fans celebrate Bryant's centennial birthday today. They do not understand what Alabama fans and alumni understand. When you are touched by that kind of greatness, it isn't easily forgotten.
Bryant lingers in the collective sports memory much as Babe Ruth does. Their signature records have been broken. But no one is quite sure their greatness has been surpassed.
He was not Alabama's first great coach. Some wondered if Bryant could live up to Frank Thomas' legend, just as some wondered if Thomas could match Wallace Wade's success. Post-Bryant coaches lived in his shadow until now.
Nick Saban's greatest feat might well be stepping from that enormous shadow and finding his own place in the sun. He isn't Bear Bryant and has never tried to be. Saban tells his players to set a standard and to always strive for that standard. Saban doesn't measure himself against Bryant. He measures himself against the standard he has set for himself.
Now, a debate is starting to take shape about who is UA's greatest — something that once might have been considered heresy. Radio personality Paul Finebaum recently said that Saban may well become the greatest college football coach in history and yet remain the second greatest coach in Alabama history. It was Finebaum's paradoxical way of defining the genuine affection Alabama fans and alumni have for Bryant's memory. Saban may surpass Bryant's on-field exploits, but Bryant transcended football.
Bryant rescued the crumbling Alabama dynasty from its darkest days, brought it to incredible heights and kept it there with amazing consistency. But he also served as a cultural icon in a time when Alabama, both the university and the state, desperately needed something positive to cling to.
He artfully guided Alabama football through the social upheaval that went with integration and made UA's transition one of the state's rare success stories in race relations. He made it look natural and easy.
And he instilled in all who love Alabama football the expectation that nothing but the best is acceptable. Much has changed in the 30 years since Bryant's death, but that remains the same.

Great Mouse
Reviewed by Niki. Review Posted 30/10/2012
Unpacking this mouse you are immediately impressed with the quality. It's very small an cute, and if anything too small. It's not that comfortable for a larger hand. It also doesn't suit a wrist rest, feeling much more comfortable without one.
Installation is a breeze, but one slight annoyance is that the mouse ONLY works with the Cloud. If you don't want this, it's hard luck. You are forced in to creating a Cloud account or you can't access the advanced features of the mouse.
The back and forward keys on the mouse are difficult to operate, but literally everything is configurable with this mouse so it really doesn't matter. I just shifted them to other buttons.
The keys themselves are lovely. They have just the right amount of feedback.
All in all this is a great mouse. It tracks very well indeed. My only real complaint about it is that it's really best for a small hand. But the unique number of buttons makes it a worthwhile purchase.

Changed My Mind!
Reviewed by Niki . Review Posted 31/10/2012
In the past 24 hours I have changed my mind about this mouse! There are two major problems with it. Both when you are in the heat of battle and need to lift the mouse. Firstly, the mouse is so smooth, there is little to get a grip on. When you do manage to lift the mouse, the balance is all wrong, and the mouse tends to tip forward. Basically, the thumb grip is in the wrong place. They should have had it where button 2 is. Or they should have had some sort of lifting edge on the right side of the mouse instead of being very smooth. As it stands, the mouse is just too difficult to lift.

text: Progressive music walks a fine line for most of its existence, trying to balance the gratification musicians garner from playing difficult and involved compositions with the gratification listeners need to be able to elicit from those same songs. Finding the right mix of challenge for the player and fun for the audience is a bit of a magic trick, not unlike pulling a rabbit out of the hat. There are a few bands who have been able to marry the popular and the insular, but the numbers who manage to do so are few and far between. It's the nature of the beast.

Batting Average:.790 (79/100)
The two ratings are Batting Average and GHI. Both are defined below.
BA: The total number of stars achieved divided by the total possible stars a concert can achieve. Each song can achieve a total possible 5 stars, 5 being the best, 0 being the worst. Therefore, each show receives anywhere from a 1.0 to a .001.
GHI: This rating is used in The Phish Companion 2nd Ed. Each show is given a score from 0 to 5, five being the best and 0 being the worst.
The two scores are synonymous. I like the BA form better because each show receives a score closer to its worth depending on how you rated it.

2.5/5 total at best
I remember him standing up and walking off the stage during the growing city sounds. Great 1995 show!
This is a little song that were gonna do for you about how you people are going to feel after we demolish you in chess. Its called Blue and Lonesome. Too funny! The band finds their groove in Free but it doesnt go beyond the norm.
My 4th The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday caught me by surprise, but made sense once I realized today was the eve of Yom Kippur. Of course they had to play it so they could drop into Avenu Malkenu, Our Father, Our King. Gordo rightfully gets down on the bass before ending the song and finishing with TMWSIY.
Sample In A Jar might be Treys favorite song if he had to choose; crowd pleasing version as usual. The ending of Sample drops right into You Enjoy Myself, which was so smooth initially that it stumbles a little, but recovers nicely of course. Post tramps Trey jumps on the drum kit and Page steps up to lead the jam in fine fashion. Trey returns to guitar to finish the song properly. Gordo lays down an impressive bass solo before the vocal jam to end the set.
Timber (Jerry) opens the 2nd set. It was the first time played since its triumphant return at Sugarbush the past summer after a 258 show gap. This gap was only 6 shows and it still felt like a bustout, we were excited to get this only 6 shows into the 54 show Fall Tour. Of course, the band tore this song up.
The 2nd Its Ice of Fall Tour comes out of the ending of Timber Ho. The usual Page breakdown occurs and doesnt get too crazy. This song typically isnt played in the second set. Sparkle is Sparkle and gets the crowd riled up. Harry Hood immediately drops next and the intro section is quite unique. The Hood jam sounds great and builds to a terrific climax.
The 4th Billy Breathes in six shows is well placed. Faht was really, really unexpected and happens to be the second to last one played to the date. Wouldnt it be fun if Fishman busted this one out again. Sweet Adeline was also well placed. Phish was really being Phish!!
Oh shit! Split Open and Melt just started!! Enjoying the rare second set placement again. Things get dark real quick to my enjoyment. This Melt bangs around a bit and pushes the envelope. Squirming Coil closes the second set unlike the last time played when it closed the first set. The full band interacts well before leaving the stage to Page to wind things down. Which he does in fine fashion of course.
As a solo encore, Rocky Top seems the most unfair. I even feel that way about Fire sometimes since it is less than 5 mins typically. But Rocky Top is less than 3 minutes. Whatever, we have a day off before the next show in Portland, OR and the start of a 4 day run that will take us to Canada and finish in Montana. But I had a fabulous time in Seattle at the first two indoor shows of Fall Tour!!!
Worthy of a listen: Maze, Foam, Timber (Jerry), Harry Hood, Faht

Market Malaise Leaves Options Looking Cheap
All is quiet on the options front.
The S&P 500 booked its smallest one-week point change in nearly a year last week, and an options market reading on future market volatility suggests mild moves will remain the norm over the next month.
Thirty-day implied volatility on the S&P 500, a measure of expectations for future price swings, fell slightly, declining 0.19 point, or 1.98%, to 10.11 Tuesday. That was its lowest level in at least five years, suggesting the options market isn't pricing in any concern for stocks over the next month. Meanwhile the Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index, the market's so-called fear gauge, finished at a near six-year low.
"The implied volatility lows reflect a general malaise by market participants that portrays a belief that the [S&P 500] is less risky now than it has been in at least five years," said Ophir Gottlieb, managing director at options-data firm LiveVol. "There is a nontrivial risk that [implied volatility] doubles at some point in the next twelve months."
The S&P 500 closed up 11.15 points, or 0.7%, to 1530.94 Tuesday, putting the benchmark index within 2.5% of its October 2007 record. Last week, the index added just 1.87 points, for the smallest move in either direction since the index gained just 1.24 points during the week ended March 9, 2012.
An implied volatility reading of 10.11 was the lowest level since at least 2008, according to LiveVol's Gottlieb. A 30-day backward measure of volatility held at 7.12 Tuesday, the lowest level since Jan. 18, 2011.
The VIX dropped 0.15 point, or 1.2%, to 12.31, the lowest finish since April 20, 2007.
A low reading of implied volatility, a key component of pricing on the index's options, means investors aren't bidding up the price of options. All else being equal, that means the price to speculate or hedge using S&P 500 options is at its cheapest in five years, according to Gottlieb.
The price of a neutral strategy known as a "straddle" stood at $3,000 per contract Tuesday. But, should implied volatility rise about 50%, to about 15, the cost of that strategy would rise to about $4,500 a contract, according to Gottlieb.
Implied volatility last finished above 15 on Dec. 31, according to LiveVol data.
A straddle involves the purchase of both "put" and "call" options. It gets its name because of how it involves a leg on two sides of a price — one in calls and one in puts. Being a neutral strategy, it can profit by moves in either direction. When setting up a straddle, investors look to the put and call options that have "strike" prices nearest the current trading price.
Put options grant the right to sell at a set price by a set date, where calls convey the right to buy.

Japan native will give recital on shamisen
Published: Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 8:30 p.m.
Japan native and North Carolina resident Akira Satake will present a recital on the shamisen, a Japanese traditional instrument, as well as the banjo from 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday in the Sandor Teszler Library Gallery at Wofford College.
The shamisen is a three-stringed instrument in the lute family with a long, fretless neck. The body is square and covered in animal skin.
A potter as well as musician, Satake first discovered the banjo while growing up in Osaka, Japan. After relocating to New York City in his early 20s, he spent two decades honing his innovative banjo style in venues from Village clubs to Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. He went on to master the shamisen in his own original style and has made it an important part of his repertoire.
The recital is free. For more information, call 597-4300.

Charges of Racism Rock 'Big Brother'
CBS is grappling with complaints from viewers about racist, sexist and homophobic slurs in footage from the latest season of its reality show "Big Brother."
The show features a group of contestants living together in a house. Episodes air on CBS, and a 24-hour live feed is shown online.
This season some viewers have complained that Aaryn Gries, one of the competitors on the show, has made offensive statements about blacks, gays and women during the live feed.
Some subscribers have expressed outrage, including season 12 "Big Brother" competitor Ragan Fox, who has penned an open letter on his blog to CBS. Fox wants CBS to show more so that viewers can get a sense of what the competitors are really like. "What's the point of casting racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities if production's going to edit out the racism, ethnic discrimination, and homophobia that these people encounter inside the house?" Fox's blog reads.
More than 3,000 people have signed a Change.org petition asking CBS to remove Gries. "Racism and Homophobia shouldn't be allowed while competing in a TV show that streams live 24 hours a day," the petition reads.
In the wake of the petition, Zephy Talent, the agency that represents Gries, has dropped the 22-year-old.
"Aaryn, season 15 cast member of Big Brother, revealed prejudices and other beliefs that we (Zephyr Talent) do not condone. We certainly find the statements made by Aaryn on the live Internet feed to be offensive. Any views or opinions expressed in personal commentary by Aaryn, either on any live feed from the House or during the broadcast, are hers alone and do not represent the views or opinions of Zephyr Talent. Upon much consideration, we have decided to release Aaryn from her contract with Zephyr Talent," the agency posted on its Facebook page.
In a statement, CBS said that "'Big Brother' is a reality show about watching a group of people who have no privacy 24/7 — and seeing every moment of their lives. At times, the houseguests reveal prejudices and other beliefs that we do not condone. We certainly find the statements made by several of the houseguests on the live Internet feed to be offensive. Any views or opinions expressed in personal commentary by a houseguest appearing on 'Big Brother,' either on any live feed from the House or during the broadcast, are those of the individual(s) speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS or the producers of the program."
CBS has not said whether they will address the slurs on future TV episodes.
The network announced Wednesday that beginning July 11, the "Big Brother" evictions will air live at 8 p.m. Thursdays. The show airs three times a week, currently on at 9 p.m. Tuesdays and 8 p.m. Wednesdays on CBS.

Hi everybody.
Sorry for posting this in the ps3ms developer forums, but I guess I will adress the best "user group" here. Feel free to move the topic.
I'm a JDownloader Developer, and we are currently working on streaming media. The current Implementation provides a http stream to VLC (or other video players). JDownloader's integrated HTTP Server gets the range requests, and cares about serving the requested Data, either from cache(HD), Downloadsystem, or even from Rar files. We provide a kind of "Random Access Stream" to the streaming backend
This works pretty fine, but it would be even nicer to serve not only to local mediaplayers, but through DLNA/UPNP to a big range of Mediarenderer Devices.
You have a lot of experience on this, and maybe we could even use parts of your source for this.
If anybody likes this idea of streaming almost any file directly from the net to TV/PS3, feel free to conribute, or just to guide me the right way.
Besides this Forum, you can reach me for a chat at http://jdownloader.org/knowledge/chat (/join #jdteam). Feel free to talk to jiaz as well if I'm not available

D-Day - it's arrived!
Although I must admit, I'm feeling thoroughly underwhelmed by in. SSN were at our training ground and said something about someone having a medical, but my signal cut out when they said who - I couldn't even say for sure if they were coming in or going out, it might have been Bentley to QPR. They then went on to talk about strikers, so didn't sound like it was one of them coming in.
Anyone heard any juicy rumours? Clearest I've got is...
Ooh, SSN just said Andros Townsend arrived at QPR's medical place to find the deal was off! And him, Bents, & JJ were all maybes earlier but they're all currently off - note the currently. Sounds like there are a few offers in for him, I hope only for loan deals, he was one of our key faces for the future a while back.
Also, our academy's apparently meant to be stuffed full of youngsters ready to start bedding into the first tam, which perhaps explains cutting the older players; imagine being mentored by the likes of Gallas, Bale or Parker!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Ever since the News Of The World scandal, no ones tapping phones, hence, no wild rumours this transfer window...and what rumours there were (did you hear the one about the Bale for D. Villa and cash deal) so outrageous as to not even stir interest.
Quiet...too quiet!

I miss 'Arry. So far this D-Day's been proper dull for Spurs - the most exciting story so far is we've sent Adam Smith on loan to Millwall. Come on football, where are the outrageous rumours which it turns out actually have a tiny slither of truth?? I've come to rely on you...

The thing that most hurts about this anti-climatic day (not even any exciting rumours!) isn't Levy pressing snooze too many times to get up at 2230 and go to work as normal, it's that the person who usurps him with getting the just after 11 signing is none other than Arsene bleeding Wenger! Although they have said it's subject to formal registration being completed, it'd be funny if it didn't happen...

Get started on new years cycling resolutions right off the bat: noon on the 1st. Meet up at Greenlake, near the basketball courts. This'll be a slow speed ride to Golden Gardens. Cargo bikes are bound to abound, but the invite is open to all. See you there!
Looks like Seattle's taking the issue of cyclists getting doored seriously, or at least more seriously. There's a new sign up on Dexter and SDOT would like to know what you think it means – Take the survey here. Maybe we'll see more of these soon if the general public can figure out what they mean.
I've been the recipient of a door prize myself (I lived – I was headed up hill thankfully) and there's not much I worry about more when riding my bike. How many huggers have had close encounters of the car door variety? What are your cities doing about it?
We'll stop directly shipping our Hugga comfort retail line (socks, shirts, jerseys) from December 18 until the new year. All of our goods are available on Amazon.com and shipping for Christmas Eve until the 22nd. See the deadlines at Amazon Gift Central.
Note that the socks sold out this week, but we've got new stock already en route. Clip-n-Seals are also shipping from Amazon.com.
p> It happens all the time: boy meets girl, boy decides to get her a bicycle. This is especially true for hardcore bike geeks. These relationships don't always work out. Scan eBay listings for road bikes smaller than 52cm and you'll find a dozens of stories about bikes for girlfriends that just ended up collecting dust. Oh, and the girlfriends don't always stick around either. Then that bike definitely is an eyesore.
So getting your girlfriend a bike is always a risky move. But it can be fun.
Hugger departs next week for our annual Maui ride. We'll ride to Hana, upcountry Haleakala, and more for about 28 hours of ride time. If we're feeling good, we may just ride around the whole island. I'll have the Modal with me.

While some people choose a credit card based on the interest rate or perhaps a balance transfer promotion, if you don't intend to carry a balance on your credit card you may be more interested in a rewards program. The best credit card rewards programs are tied to your interests. You can check out the credit and charge card offers with rewards on this page to find the one that matches the way you want you to be rewarded.
Qualifying for a rewards credit or charge card
Most credit and charge cards that offer rewards are limited to customers with good or excellent credit, so if you have poor credit you may need to work on building up your credit score by paying off credit card balances and making on-time payments before you can be approved for a points and miles credit card.
Interest rates and fees
While it's great to be rewarded for using your credit card, credit cards with miles promotions or other rewards often have a higher interest rate than other credit cards. Some also have a higher annual fee in order to compensate for the rewards you'll earn. Before choosing a rewards credit card, make sure you can pay off the balance in full each month and that the annual fee won't cancel out the benefit of the rewards you earn.
Choose your rewards
Before choosing a rewards credit card you need to decide if you want to earn cash back, gas rebates, points you can use for travel or merchandise, or airline miles that you can use to supplement your frequent flyer miles. Even if you decide a free airline credit card is perfect, you'll need to choose whether you want to earn miles for one specific airline or miles that can be used on multiple airlines.
Comparing points/miles credit cards
Next, you'll need to compare the specific programs to see which one will earn you the most rewards. Compare:
- Signup bonuses. Some credit cards offer new customers a bonus of extra points for their first purchase, or a certain level of purchases within a certain time.
- The rate of rewards earnings. If you are looking for airline miles, look for a credit card that earns you airline miles at a rate of at least one mile per dollar spent. Some credit cards allow you to earn rewards in specific categories at a faster rate depending on where you use your credit card.
- Reward redemption rules. Some credit card rewards programs require you to wait until you accrue more points and others limit your rewards to gift cards or to flights on specific airlines. If you are looking for airline miles, make sure the airlines you use are covered by each rewards program. Make sure you have enough time to cash in your points before your next vacation if you want to use points for a hotel room.
- Compare your spending with the rewards. The number of points you need for a free flight vary by rewards program, so try to find the program that earns you the most points for the least amount of money or that allows you to convert points to airline miles at a low rate.
- Check the dates. Make sure your points or miles won't expire before you can use them. Some rewards programs don't have an expiration date at all. Also, see if your airline miles are subject to blackout dates. If you plan on traveling at a popular time, you want to make sure you can use your points.
If you've decided that a credit card with miles promotions that you can use for airline tickets, hotels or merchandise is best for you, compare the points and miles credit card offers on this page to find the credit or charge card that matches your needs.

This article is part of a special issue on Drug Delivery.
In the course of three generations, ultrasound contrast agents have developed from simple air bubbles without shells to precise imaging devices. Their half-life in the bloodstream has grown from several seconds to longer than 15 minutes. Along with this great improvement, microbubbles have become able to reach not only the heart, but also organs more distant from the injection site such as the brain, the kidneys, and the liver. These advances have inspired the industry to consider using ultrasound contrast agents as targeted drug carriers (1–2).
Ultrasound drug targeting entails an "aim-and-shoot" conception. That is, the target site can be visualized by diagnostic ultrasound imaging before an operator triggers drug administration by increasing the intensity of ultrasound waves, thus destroying the microbubbles and releasing the drug. The cavitation energy released by bursting the microbubbles can render biological barriers such as cell membranes, the capillary endothelium, and the blood-brain barrier temporarily permeable for large and polar drug molecules (3–4). Some of the most promising therapeutic research on microbubbles today involves targeting chemotherapeutics to solid tumors and nucleic acids to cells for gene therapy.One of the major challenges for the development of drug-loaded microbubbles has been to attain high drug-loading amounts. In response to this challenge, scientists have developed new structural designs of ultrasound contrast agents that offer enhanced loading potential.
Structural design of ultrasound-triggered drug carriers
Ultrasound-triggered drug-carrier particles of several distinct structures can achieve targeted drug delivery. The particles' common feature is a great difference between the propagation velocity of ultrasound within the particles and within the surrounding medium.
In general, such great structural diversity of ultrasound-active drug carriers (UAC) exists that the most popular terms in the literature (i.e., "microbubbles" and "ultrasound contrast agents") do not adequately describe them anymore. By way of example, many acoustically active constructs such as phase-shift nanoemulsions do not share the structure of a microbubble. Yet only a few of these constructs can scatter ultrasound, a characteristic that is required of contrast agents.
Drugs and nucleotides may be complexed into nanoparticles (i.e., secondary carriers) that are assembled in their turn onto the microbubble shell (see Figure 1d). The drug also may be encapsulated into a polymeric shell and covered by a layer of biocompatible protein, as is Point Biomedical's (San Carlos, CA) CardioSphere (see Figure 1e). Microcapsules with protein shells may be loaded by surface adsorption, by incorporating the drug into the entire shell, or by the layer-by-layer approach (5).
Microbubbles are appropriate carriers for several drugs. Scientists have loaded the particles with large molecules such as oligonucleutides, plasmids, and proteins, as well as with small molecules such as doxorubicin, docetaxel, and dexamethasone (6–10). Research also has focused on delivering formulations including paclitaxel and resveratrol using acoustically active lipospheres. In addition, secondary-carrier-associated microbubbles have been introduced for the delivery of plasmid DNA and doxorubicin (11–15).

One man working at Avondale Mills the night of the Graniteville train collision says he was billed for a sleep study he thought Norfolk Southern would pay for. Who's responsible for all those medical bills following the train wreck? News 12 has more on a big question, waiting for an answer.
Will Norfolk Southern pay for all those medical costs? We had a hard time finding an answer. But at least one man thinks he is stuck with a hefty bill.
Avondale Mills employee John Tillman got a shocker in the mail last week. A week after going to a sleep study at Doctors Hospital he got a bill in the mail for $405. He thought the sleep study qualified as one of the medical expenses Norfolk Southern had agreed to pay.
"I've been having problems breathing when I lay down at night. I've been waking up coughing. I can't catch my breath," Tillman said.
Tillman was one of hundreds who went to the hospital the day of the deadly train crash and chemical spill. He still hasn't seen any of those bills; they went directly to Norfolk Southern.
"I didn't have this problem before the accident," Tillman said.
We asked Aiken Regional Medical Centers a series of questions. How many Graniteville bills have been paid? Has Norfolk Southern indicated they won't pay for patients who sought treatment more than three days after the crash?
The hospital's response: "We do not wish to respond to these questions in detail at this time."
Now the lingering question, will some who went to local hospitals be stuck with thousands in medical costs? Attorney Ronald Maxwell represents 40 Graniteville survivors.
"The ultimate goal is that these people, if they were injured because of the chlorine gas whenever they got treatment, that they get paid fully," Maxwell said.
"Norfolk Southern regrets experienced by the community and will continue to make every reasonable effort to address citizens concerns as quickly as possible," said Robin Chapman, Norfolk Southern.
But now, seven months after that statement, some are still looking for relief.
"The doctor recommended for me to go to the sleep study and they said they would pay for it, but it didn't work out that way. I got the bill now," Tillman said.
In an email from Norfolk Southern, a spokesperson tells News 12 they review all the medical bills one by one. And they anticipate all reasonable bills to be paid very soon.
A spokesman for Doctors Hospital says they can't comment on any billing issues, citing patient privacy. Norfolk Southern did not know any details about John Tillman's case. And they did not give a specific answer about paying for medical costs for people who came to the hospital more than three days after the crash.
