Another candidate for public office is accusing his opponent of falsely using an endorsement from Congressman Hal Rogers.
Bell County Judge Executive Bill Kelley says his republican challenger, Albey Brock, is using a false statement from Hal Rogers in a mailer out Friday that endorses Brock.
"But to use Congressman Hal Rogers, who's a friend to all and make it seem as though he's endorsing, this is just, I'm sorry, deception," said Kelley.
"I absolutely have the endorsement to do that mailer. It's sad that we're even having to defend this. It's obvious that this is a desperate act on my opponent's part," Brock said.
WYMT spoke to a spokesperson for the Kentucky Republican Party who made the mailer and he tells us, that Hal Rogers did endorse their candidate or they wouldn't have made it. We also spoke with a spokesperson with the Hal Rogers Campaign about this ad and the ad controversy in Martin County we covered Thursday. Rogers' spokesperson told us Rogers doesn't comment about situations like these.

With 100 slinky rooms and incredible suites to choose from, Malmaison Edinburgh puts the hot into hotel. All of our rooms in Edinburgh offer sophisticated splendour, but often with a tartan twist. And amidst the subtly caledonian ambiance, there's everything from free Wi-Fi to roll-top baths to remind you that this former Seaman's mission (and erstwhile house of negotiable affection) is now the last word in luxury in Leith. And if you want a subtle reminder of Malmaison Edinburgh's nautical past, why not ask for a harbour view?
All our rooms have the complete set of Mal ingredients - great beds for sleepy heads, moody lighting, en-suite bathrooms with baths and power showers, digital TV, serious wines and naughty nibbles. Other little luxuries include same-day laundry, exclusive toiletries that you're encouraged to take with you, 'vroom' 24 hour room service, fast and free Wi-Fi, hairdryers, ironing board and iron and complimentary tea and coffee making facilities.

Relaxing from your bath in this open plan attic room you channel the very spirit of Arthur, majestically waiting for your bottle of wine and lamb rack to rise from the kitchens like the Lady from the Lake herself.
The Port of Leith Suite
You could get used to Edinburgh hotel rooms like this. Sunrise over the waters of Leith, as you wake from the four poster. Walk-in shower or full-blown bath? Ordinarily you'd take the shower, but as it's sporting a tartan lick of paint, you plump for the soak. A little appropriate chamber music from the Bose system and the morning's off to a glorious start. Robed up sometime later, you can understand why so many seamen made it their mission to come here.
Deluxe Club
Deluxe Club with exclusively designed Sealy pillow-top King or Queen bed. En-suite bathroom with Anatomicals toiletries, 40 inch flat screen TV complete with Sky Sports, Lavazza coffee machine, complimentary water, Celebration chocolates, apples and use of bathrobe and slippers.

This Day in Crisis History: Sept. 20-21, 2008
This September, MoneyBeat will take a daily look back at the developments surrounding the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the financial crisis that followed. Each day, we will recap the events of the corresponding day in 2008, as the worst crisis in 80 years built to its terrible climax.
Sept. 20-21, 2008
Shoring up financial institutions was becoming a weekend sideline for officials at the Treasury and Federal Reserve.
In the wake of Lehman Brothers's failure the previous Sunday, the Federal Reserve on Sept. 21 agreed to let Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. convert from lightly-regulated investment banks into traditional bank holding companies.
By changing their status, the two banks got greater access to liquidity and funding. The trade-off was tighter regulation, as the Fed became the banks' main regulator. For investors across the globe, the move sent a signal that these two wouldn't be allowed to fail.
Morgan Stanley wasn't taking any chances, though. It continued to hold talks over the weekend with Wachovia Corp. on a potential merger, and simultaneously was lining up an investment from Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. that would be announced on Monday.
The carcass of Lehman Brothers was still being picked over in Europe, where Nomura Holdings and Barclays PLC were working on bids for Lehman's U.K.-based unit, and Lehman's London insolvency administrator was trying to get back billions of dollars that had been transferred to Lehman in the U.S. before its bankruptcy filing.
Details of the U.S. Treasury's boldest plan yet to stabilize financial markets leaked out over the weekend. A two-and-a-half page Treasury proposal to Congress sought unlimited authority to buy up to $700 billion of mortgage-related assets, in what would come to be called the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
Some U.S. savers got bad news from the Treasury Sept. 21, when it confirmed that an emergency insurance program on money-market funds wouldn't cover retrospective losses in the Reserve Primary Fund. Panicked investors had pulled $130 billion out of the $3.4 trillion money-market fund industry after the Reserve Primary Fund "broke the buck" the previous week with a drop in its net asset value to 97 cents per share.
On the Street
Stock market regulators across the globe tried to put the brakes on sharp price falls by putting restrictions on investor bets that stocks would decline. Taiwan and the Netherlands joined the U.S. and the U.K. in temporarily banning short-selling on certain stocks. Australia banned all short sales.
The U.S. government's massive intervention in the financial industry was already being pointed to as a reason to rein in executive pay. The bailout put a spotlight on the millions of dollars earned by the leaders of failed firms like Fannie Mae and American International Group — and many politicians didn't like what they saw.
Off the Street
In Britain, Prime Minister Gordon Brown told a Labour party conference on Sept. 20 he would do "whatever it takes" to tackle the economic crisis, a phrase that would later be used to great effect by the ECB's Mario Draghi.
Amid the threat of a leadership challenge to Mr. Brown that could spark a general election, Labour got a boost that day with a £1 million ($1.6 million) donation from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Ms. Rowling said she feared poor families would be worse off under Conservative chief David Cameron.
In China, the Ministry of Health reported that nearly 13,000 infants had been hospitalized after drinking formula tainted with the industrial chemical melamine, and the scandal was spreading to other products.

Re: Ki is Kindness.
In elaborating on your original point, I think you are still missing some elements of evidential support to support your claims. It sounds like you dismiss the need for evidential support, citing instead the need to (ahhhh) "feel it":
There are many people with lots of data. Data, data data. To me they are walking libraries, computers, robots. Don't get me wrong I like robots and computers but I could give you all the data and history and meanings and variances according to traditions and climate to do with trying to get you to understand the taste of a strawberry but until you've eaten one you will never know.
But the point is you can confirm strawberries taste sweet; the point of contention would be how sweet and what flavor of sweetness. For the sake of your argument, I am willing to concede that ki exists as an energy form. However, I think you do not built a case sufficient to explain how ki can possess a trait (kindness). Kindness is a emotive state of being. You do not explain how ki, conditional upon accepting it possesses a emotive state, can possess a singular emotion (positive in connotation). This is (I think) what some of the other posters are hinting at... Your interpretation of ki is somewhat different than most and asserted without any supporting evidence. Which is fine, but your posts imply you derived your comments from some factual base that you are withholding from this thread.
Secondly, O'Sensei simply did not say many things attributed to him. In these paraphrases, most often his comments were translated to English, then interpreted in their meaning; sometimes both being performed by the same person. I would expect that in interpreting O'Sensei's teachings, you should at least provide the paraphrase or quote used in your interpretation. Again, your posts imply that you have confirmed factual quotations and historical information from OSensei that support your position but you are withholding this information as well.
Your beliefs are your own. But I think if you choose to share them as part of a discussion you would like to share how you arrived at your educated decisions.
If a person was to show how a spiritual principle applies to a physical action would that be preaching?
Preaching is the presentation of [religious] doctrine, a sermon. This is a tongue and cheek comment to raise caution about presenting an idea for discussion to a group of like-minded individuals who will not questions the statements validity (as in "preaching to the choir" to describe the preacher speaking to the only regular members in church...the choir). If you choose to present and idea as fact beyond your group of like-minded individuals, you should darn well be able to back up that comment.
Good luck.

Imagine The Ideal Place to Live... A place
where the taxes are lower... A place where
the weather is beautiful... A place where a
nice home is affordable... A place where
there is almost no crime and the people are
friendly... There is such a place...
I know... I live there. And I'd love to tell
you about it... My name is Maggie Hawk and I
sell real estate in New Smyrna Beach,
In 1992, I left a 20-year career as an
award-winning corporate trainer and moved to
New Smyrna Beach, a small town on Florida's
Atlantic coast, located south of Daytona and
north of the Space Center. Those who know
call New Smyrna Beach "Orlando's Beach" and
"Florida's Best Kept Secret." We have a wide
beach, with white sand that's as soft as
talcum powder, numerous golf courses where
you can perfect your game, and the Indian
River, part of the Intracoastal Waterway,
flowing through our town. There are a large
number of older homes in our historic
district on the mainland, and each month, you
can see classic cars of the '50s and '60s on
Canal Street, our "downtown." Part of our
town is a peninsula between the River and the
Ocean. It's a haven for boaters and
fishermen, and provides an inlet from the
Atlantic to the Indian River. You're never
very far from the water in New Smyrna Beach.
The town is also friendly to the arts and
artists, offering workshops at the Atlantic
Center for the Arts, and Images, a juried art
show every spring. New Smyrna is a great place to
call home--it has something for everyone.
Perhaps it's right for you. Won't you give
me a call? I'd love to help you find your
own piece of Paradise!

Treasury Official Heads To Europe To Discuss Iran Sanctions
The U.S. Treasury Department said Monday that its top sanctions official will head to Europe this week to discuss global efforts to impose sanctions against Iran.
David S. Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, will meet this week with government officials in London, Paris, Berlin and Rome. He "will meet with European officials to discuss additional measures that the international community can take to deepen Iran's financial isolation," the notice said.
The Wall Street Journal also reported on the trip, casting it in a broader context of a ramp-up in pressure on Tehran amid President Barack Obama's announcement that all U.S. troops will leave Iraq by year-end and the revelation of an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi envoy to Washington that the U.S. blamed elements of Iran's government for orchestrating.
Iran strongly denies any ties to the alleged plot. Nevertheless, the U.S., U.K., European Union and Canada all froze the assets of five individuals Washington said were involved.
The EU is already primed for increasing its Iran sanctions regime: It threatened further measures Sunday in a document calling for Tehran to respect its international obligations and return to talks over its nuclear program.
It also comes as the U.S. and the EU consider whether to sanction Iran's central bank, Bank Markazi. Several U.S. lawmakers favor it, but officials the Journal spoke to called it the "nuclear option" that could effectively shut the country entirely out of the global monetary system.
Further, many European officials, and some in the U.S. as well, fear that freezing Bank Markazi's assets would drive up global energy prices because Tehran would be unable to execute energy sales, according to the Journal's reporting.
"As with any potential target, we are carefully evaluating the possible impact this action could have on the global economy and our international partners," Cohen said in an interview with the Journal before heading to Europe.
He will also be discussing measures targeting Iran Air and Mahan Air, as well as the port company, Tidewater Middle East Co., all of which are under U.S. sanctions, officials told the Journal.
Separately, Cohen will also talk to European officials about efforts to pressure the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to end its deadly crackdown on protesters.

The attentive and exceedingly competent staff distinguishes this inn from its bargain-rate competitors. The service shows its worth at the full breakfasts and dinners, which at other comparable hotels would be impersonal DIY buffets but at the Premier Inn Chichester are agreeable affairs. Guests are by no means restricted to eating in, with the pubs and eateries of Chichester a brief stroll from the hotel. The nearby cinema can be a lifesaver when the heavens turn overcast.

For Optimal Facial Rejuvenation, Plastic Surgeons Should Consider What's Going on Under the Skin
For Release: 01/04/2011
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - What makes us look older? Wrinkles and sagging result not just from changes in the skin, but also from age-related changes in the underlying facial bones, according to a report in the January issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The researchers, led by Robert Shaw, Jr., MD, at the University of Rochester Medical Center, analyzed computed tomography scans of the facial bones in young (age 20 to 40), middle-aged (41 to 64), and older (65 and up) age groups. All scans were performed for medical reasons-not for planning plastic surgery.
Aging Linked to Changes in Eye Sockets, Jaw Bones, and More
Detailed measurements in three-dimensional reconstructions of the CT scans showed some important differences in the facial bone structure (or facial skeleton) between age groups. "The facial skeleton experiences morphologic change and an overall decrease in volume with increasing age," Dr. Shaw and colleagues write.
One prominent change was an increase in the area of the "orbital aperture" - that is, the eye sockets. In both men and women, the eye sockets became wider and longer with age. Aging also affected the bones of the middle part of the face, including reductions in the glabellar (brow), pyriform (nose), and maxillary (upper jaw) angles.
The length and height of the mandible (lower jaw) decreased with age as well. Although these changes occurred in both sexes, many occurred earlier in women - between young and middle age. In men, most of the changes occurred between middle age and old age.
Plastic surgeons are experts at dealing with changes in the skin and underlying soft tissues that contribute to an aged appearance of the face. However, as the new study demonstrates, they must also understand the contribution of changes in the underlying facial bones.
"The bony components of the face are important for overall facial three-dimensional contour as they provide the framework on which the soft-tissue envelope drapes," Dr. Shaw and coauthors write. For example, the enlarging eye socket and decreasing brow angle could contribute to frown lines on the forehead, "crow's feet" at the corners of the eyes, and drooping of the lower eyelid.
By using materials and techniques for skeletal augmentation, plastic surgeons can improve the outcomes of facial rejuvenation, Dr. Shaw and colleagues believe. They discuss the "aesthetic implications" of changes in the facial bone structure, and outline some strategies plastic surgeons can follow to optimize the final results for patients who desire a more youthful appearance.

IndyCar Series 2012
Simon Pagenaud, who has already clinched IZOD IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year honors, starred in Sunday's Grand Prix of Baltimore, jumping from sixth to first on a Lap 35 restart and going on to lead 14 laps en route to a third-place finish, his fourth podium result of the 2012 season.
Pagenaud fell back to third during the final round of pit stops, and was unable to make a final bid for victory when his Schmidt Hamilton Racing Honda Dallara picked up an understeer in the final laps of today's 75-lap contest, making it impossible for him to mount a successful attack on either race winner Ryan Hunter-Reay or runner-up Ryan Briscoe.
Takuma Sato also make a strong bid for victory, despite starting near the back of the field after a difficult qualifying session on Saturday. Sato led 12 laps while a brief, light rain shower blanketed portions of the 2.04-mile downtown temporary street circuit, and continued to lead on dry weather "slick" tires when many others elected to pit for rain tires. But a lack of fuel pressure caused Sato's engine to stumble on the same Lap 35 restart that saw Pagenaud snare the lead, and soon ended Sato's day on Lap 38.
Scott Dixon finished fourth, while Alex Tagliani led one lap today for Barracuda Racing. Justin Wilson, Graham Rahal, Dario Franchitti and Charlie Kimball all ran in the top five for portions of today's race before being delayed by a wide variety of causes in an incident-filled race. Wilson, along with Mike Conway, lost time in a late-race, multi-car collision; Franchitti came up one lap short in an attempt to stretch his fuel mileage to the checkers; while Kimball ran as high as third before mechanical failure ended his day.
Honda's popular Fastest Seat in Sports sweepstakes returned in Baltimore, with former Indianapolis 500 champion Arie Luyendyk at the wheel of the two-seat Indy car. He gave Tyler Treiber of Uniontown, Ohio the ride of a lifetime around Mid-Ohio at the head of the 27-car starting field just prior to the start of today's race. For more information on how you can receive the ride of a lifetime, go to www.shophonda.com.
The IZOD IndyCar Series now takes a week off before returning to the West Coast for the season-ending MavTV AmericanReal 500, September 15 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

The first pitch for Opening Night Wednesday will have an Olympic twist.
Lawrenceburg native and Olympic Bronze Medalist, Nick Goepper, will throw out the first pitch in the Reds first night game of the 2014 season.
Goepper stopped by WLWT Wednesday afternoon to talk about his plan for the pitch. He said he will probably wear his ski boots when he takes the mound.
"I've never thrown out a first pitch before. I played baseball when I was younger. I never thought my baseball career would come back to haunt me," Goepper said jokingly.

It's the final week of the Freezer and Pantry Challenge hosted by Keeper of the Home. You can go back and read about the previous weeks: Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3.
The time on this challenge actually flew by pretty quickly. It was a big help in reminding me to use up what we already have and kept me from buying more meat from vendors I came into contact with. That's always a weakness for me when I'm at the local farmer's market or farm stand!
The Plan
I made a really good dent in using up our meat and it's my plan to continue just using meat we already have until it's all gone. Last week I was able to take some of the money I had saved and put a deposit down on a side of pork that I'm splitting with a friend. We'll be getting that in early fall so I definitely need to keep using the pork I currently have!
This week I took a hybrid approach to my meal planning after last week's complete lack of a plan. While I've been completing this challenge, it's reminded me that I do a lot better when I plan 3-4 days at a time. It helps me to then adjust based on how much we've actually eaten and if anything comes up during the week.
This last week was also the first week of our CSA share. We had a lot of fresh, yummy produce to use up. I decided to make a list on my fridge of all of the produce to help me remember what we got. I then would refer to that as I planned for the next few days. As I used up the items, I would cross them off the list.
Going forward I am going to keep meal planning like this, at least for a while. I'm also going to revert back to my pen and paper meal planning. It suits me much better, especially since I don't typically plan the entire week all at once.
What I Used
Below is what I used up this week. I also included any recipes that I could share with you.
Chicken Curry – used up a whole chicken from the freezer
Turnip & Carrot Glaze – used up turnips and carrots from our CSA
Leftover hamburgers – I originally made these with meat from the freezer during our first week of the challenge. I froze half of the burgers for later and that's what I pulled out for this meal.
Sautéed Onions & Pea Shoots: I modified this recipe to use up the pea shoots from our CSA.
Grilled chicken legs & thighs – Used up a package of 4 from our chicken CSA.
Collard greens cooked in lard and bacon grease – Veggie from our CSA.
Frozen Pumpkin Spice Bread – When I made this earlier in the month, I froze it into smaller amounts. I defrosted a couple of these to take to our Boulder Chapter WAPF meeting.
Tuna salad – I made up some of my homemade mayo and then used up 4 cans of tuna I had in the pantry. I also added some crispy walnuts from the fridge that needed to be used. I took some of it to the chapter meeting and we've been eating the rest of it for lunches this week.
A Little Help
If you need any help with meal planning, Stephanie of Keeper of the Home has all of her e-books discounted right now, including Plan It, Don't Panic: Complete Meal Planning Resource. I have that e-book and it has a lot of helpful ideas for making meal planning go more smoothly. You can use the coupon code CHALLENGE25 to take 25% off any single ebook, OR use code BUNDLE50 to buy all 3 of her ebooks at 50% off! (This is the last week the discount is available.)

the hype on Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84 by Simon Reynolds
NME's 20 Essential Music Books
"Reynolds traces the history of the post-punk era in this high-minded account."
[from Premiere's Les 12 meilleurs livres jamais publiés sur la musique ]
Parce qu'il fut élevé à l'école visionnaire et futuriste du post-punk, Simon Reynolds (voir ici notre entretien) fait parti de ces critiques musicales qui ont toujours devancé les tendances. Collaborateur de longue date au Melody Maker ou chez Wire, pionnier des journalistes électro, l'anglais est toujours à la pointe, et ce depuis le début. Au commencement des années 90, il s'investit totalement en tant que rédacteur freelance dans la scène house, techno et jungle. Une passion jamais démentie qui prend sa source dans les expérimentations post-punk et disco-punk justement, des années 1978-1984 qui, de Cabaret Voltaire à Throbbing Gristle en passant par Suicide, Gang of Four, Telex ou la synth-pop, préfiguraient largement ce qu'allait devenir la musique électronique telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui. La parution chez Allia en 2007 de son livre Rip it Up and Start Again fut un véritable événement, ainsi qu'un retour aux sources de ce qui fait de Reynolds un journaliste unique. En explorant la production foisonnante de ces années post-punk sous l'angle de la musique mais aussi de la politique et de la philosophie, Reynolds initie un journalisme musical à tendance sociologique et lui donne une nouvelle dimension. Incontournable
[from Pitchfork's Words and Music: Our 60 Favorite Music Books]"For all its filth and fury, punk music-- at least the back-to-basics rock 'n' roll the Sex Pistols dished out on Never Mind the Bollocks-- wasn't terribly far removed from AC/DC. The weird stuff happened later. With Rip it Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds provides the definitive history of what came after punk's initial explosion-- when kids in far-flung cities and suburbs took the movement's troublemaking ideals and ran with them. This book is for, and about, the people who weren't there at the right time and place (in punk's case, London and New York circa 1976), but who nonetheless refused to believe it was all over and done with before they joined in," writes Reynolds in the book's intro. And a lot of people wanted to join in. Rip It Up runs over with heady analysis and record-nerd esoterica as Reynolds finds a narrative thread in the exploits of characters who reinvented themselves throughout the period like former Sex Pistol John Lydon and Scritti Politti frontman Green Gartside. He revels in the funny, awkward moments that often act as precursors to innovation-- Phil Oakey passing his Human League audition by singing lyrics about slaughtering silkworms, Genesis P-Orridge's stomach-churning gigs with the performance art collective COUM Transmissions. Punk's initial scope was narrow, but, ultimately, open to interpretation. Rip It Up and Start Again shows just how limitless the possibilities were." --Aaron Leitko, Pitchfork
"An early contender for best rock book of 2006"--Rolling Stone
"During the last few years... by far the most impressive music book has been Rip It Up and Start Again.... A work of music history both forensic and enthusiastic, its mixture of intelligence and brio is perfectly matched to the genre whose story it tells: so-called "post-punk", which drew to a close sometime in the mid-1980s. It had the same addictive effect on me as Lipstick Traces, and brought home a realisation: that though serious music writing was born well away from the bookshelf, that's exactly where its future may lie"--John Harris, The Guardian
"The next night, I will be back on the air live on KCRW and I have a really great show that I hope you get a chance to check out. The whole show is based around the book Rip It Up And Start Again by Simon Reynolds. I think it's one of the most interesting sets I have ever put together. I can't really take any credit for it as the show is based on this very cool book but I did have all the records already, so perhaps that counts for something"-- Henry Rollins, Dispatches blog, 04-19-09
"Reynolds emerges as that rarity among British music writers, an author capable of putting the music into a political and social context… Not just a great study of a remarkable musical era, but one of the first important historical studies of the Eighties.' Tom Lappin, The Scotsman
'An exhaustive, liberating argument that this stuff matters – not just the neglected music itself, but the act of writing about music … It is rare to find a piece of music writing so sustained and so eloquent"-- Andy Miller, The Daily Telegraph
"Reynolds has shed dazzling light on a neglected era of music... The definitive word on the subject"--Adam Sweeting, The Sunday Times (London)
Number 13 in MOG's The Top 20 Music Books of All Time
"So you think you know everything about post-punk? Are you sure? In this seminal text, music critic and writer Reynolds documents the history of punk's artier child, shedding new light on bands we've never heard of, and on those we think we've heard of but may never read anything else about. His exhaustive account tells us everything we need to know about post-punk, before examining the intertwining pop and rock era that followed the early-'80s explosion. Reynolds makes the case for the intellectual side of the music, puts it into context of time and place in history, and demonstrates just how much of a way of life it was. The book is absolutely perfect for the music nerd in you. And it's also painfully perfect for those of us who where born some years too late to experience weirdo rock's most exciting era." (Anna Zerkidou)
"[IMAGE Daily 5 Books About Music] 1. Rip It Up And Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 by Simon Reynolds Simon Reynolds eats and breathes music as well as writing it - and his enduring love for the small details and gossipy minutiae of post-punk music as well as the tunes themselves are blindingly evident in Rip It Up And Start Again. Postpunk is the genre that shaped not only what we listen to but how we listen to it today. Told in chapters exploring the history and impact of bands in Europe and North America, it's incredibly compelling - and much more informal than the title would leave you to believe"- Sarah Waldron, IMAGE Daily.
"Rip It Up And Start Again, Simon Reynolds' exhaustive study of the British and American post-punk scene between 1978 and 1984, has very few serious rivals as the greatest music book of this decade. Even those whose musical tastes wouldn't stretch to accommodate most of the bands featured in its pages are urged to pick up a copy, as it manages to be both an astonishing feat of research and a breathtakingly illuminating piece of writing."-- Sunday Business Post (Ireland).
"The two books of cultural criticism that have provided the most insight, stimulation, and reading excitement for me this year are Rip It Up by Simon Reynolds, which does for post-punk (PiL, Talking Heads, Wire, Bow Wow Wow) what Roger Shattuck's The Banquet Years did for the pre-WWI French avant-garde, and Roger Copeland's Merce Cunningham: The Modernizing of Modern Dance,"--James Wolcott, Wolcott.com
Chosen as Book of the Year--New Musical Express annual critics poll 2005; "Mind opening."
#2 music book of the Year, Observer Music Monthly; "the definitive account of the post-punk era and the music of that time…."
Editors's Choice--New York Times
"Exhilarating... a perfect alchemy of lightly worn erudition and focused enthusiasm"--Village Voice
"Not just a terrific rock book, but a really satisfying social history"--Newsday
"Reynolds' prose is clear-eyed, agile and just plain fun to read"--Time Out New York
"Reynolds masterfully captures the excitement of this period, when every week seemed to bring a new musical advancement"--The Tampa Tribune
""Rip It Up and Start Again" strikes just the right balance between history and criticism, between serious sociology and casual opinion-slinging…Whether you agree with everything he says or not, Reynolds is as well-informed a guide to this distressingly obscure era as you could hope to find. Score: 10/10"--Arizona Wildcat
#6 in Entertainment Weekly's The Must List: "Devo, Joy Division, and other oft-neglected post-punk trailblazers get a fresh look in this passionate, insightful history of early-80s rock on the cusp of MTV"
Selected as one of Time Out (London)'s Best Books of the Year (fiction and non-fiction); "The last of a dying breed of music journalists who know what they're talking about, Reynolds celebrates post-punk from The Fall to the new pop of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Read it and weep for a time when pop music had political balls and intellectual content."
#2 Book of the Year (Non-Fiction and Fiction) -- Uncut magazine
Selected as one of the best Pop Books of 2005 --Sunday Times; "…delightfully knowledgeable survey of a period of British pop that rivaled the 1960s for inventiveness (synth pop, white reggae and 'industrial music' were just three of its coinages) as well as producing some of its greatest characters, including John Lydon, Mark E Smith of The Fall and Bono"--Robert Sandall
Selected as one of the best Music Books of the Year--The Times (London); "a passionate account of Post Punk — not a movement exactly, but a gleefully chaotic period from 1978 to 1982 in which dub, funk, industrial and German electronic music meshed. Gang of Four, Joy Division, Scritti Politti and the Specials jumped into the void. For fans of Jon Savage's punk anthology England's Dreaming, this is a natural companion."--Bob Stanley
Chosen as Book of the Year by DJ Taylor in the Times Literary Supplement;
"As someone whose adolescent evenings were spent in the company of the late John Peel, I relished Simon Reynolds's companion volume Rip It Up And Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 (Faber), an urgent dispatch from that brief period in popular musical history when the mainstream was colonized by the experimental and weird time-signatures and off-kilter attitudes could be found in the Top 30."
# 3 in Blender magazine's top books of 2005; "focusing on still-revered, genre-busting bands like Talking Heads, Devo and Gang of Four, this import traces how big-brained art-school renegades bridged the gap between ragged '70s punk and made-for-MTV pop."
"Illuminating… Although it's the first book to deal with postpunk, this book stands as a peer among substantive punk histories like Jon Savage's England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond and Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain's Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk. Warmly recommended for all libraries."--Library Journal
"We got a copy of the U.S. version of Simon Reynolds' Rip it Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 this weekend. We're at about the midway point and are already convinced that it's the best music book we'll read this year. The writing is informative and accessible, so even if you know nothing about some of the bands he mentions, you're still able to follow along"--The Minor Lift, the Major Fall.
"Much like Sweet Soul Music, Peter Guralnick's history of rhythm and blues, Rip It Up is a dazzling, rich, definitive work, and I am certain that it will serve as both encyclopedia and bible on the subject for many years to come"--William Pym, Artforum
"Postpunk stands as "a fair match for the Sixties," argues Reynolds, both in terms of the amount of great music created as well as the music's connection to the "social and political turbulence" of its era (the early 1980s). Seeking to address a gap in music and pop culture history, Reynolds (Generation Ecstasy) has penned an ambitious, cerebral effort to establish a high place in rock history for bands such as Joy Division, Devo, Talking Heads, Mission of Burma and, of course, Public Image Limited (PiL), fronted by former Sex Pistols singer John Lydon (Johnny Rotten). Reynolds, an energetic writer, especially captures the postpunk ethic in telling the story of PiL's short journey from record company darlings to utter oblivion…. Reynolds succeeds in depicting the icons and the richness of an era that clearly manifests itself as a primary influence among a new generation of musicians." -- Publisher's Weekly
"A fantastic tribute to an amazingly creative musical period. It is an instant pop classic, worthy of a place on your shelves beside the handful of music books that really matter"----John McTernan, Scotland on Sunday
'Reynolds makes his case with expansive intelligence, pristine prose and occasional bleary wit. Anyone who claims to have read five better books about pop is mad, or a liar"-- Andrew Mueller, The Guide (Guardian).
"This is a monumental book, something of a labor of love for Reynolds... His success is to produce a guide that's never dry, but is instead both highly personal and authoritative--a new addition to the handful of essential pop books"--Robert Yates, GQ.
"As monumentally entertaining an edifice of great quotes, fine critical judgments, painstaking research and elegantly traced aesthetic bloodlines as could possibly have been hoped for"--Ben Thompson, The Independent on Sunday (London)
'A compelling reminder of a time when clever, mischievous, creative people formed bands--and wrote about them. Rip it up and Start Again is his most accessible book... Much of it is taken up by a detailed chronicle of the myriad bands and scenes of the late Seventies and early Eighties, the flow of ideas channeled along by traditional narrative and some magnificent research"-- Kitty Empire, The Observer (London)
"A radiant stroll through the underground music scene of 1978 to 1984, elements of which have inspired today's wave of angular pop. Simon Reynolds rightly describes the period as a golden age, thrilling in its optimism and radical verve .. It's enthralling, but the book's real triumph is in its exposition of the concealed plumbing and wiring of these moments in time, the ideas and undercurrents that fuelled the post-punk dream: Marxism, postmodernism, futurism, and all the other isms debated endlessly and passionately in the 1980s squats, collectives and art colleges. Reynolds makes the connections and fixes the era in all its richness, squalor and splendour"---Richard Cabut, The Daily Telegraph
'A wonderfully rich treatise on what might be termed "The short eighties" – stretching from 1978 to 1984 … he sounds an increasingly rare voice in pop writing, grappling with music's subtext and hidden agendas, constantly noting that the best records ooze intellectual substance"--John Harris, The Times (London)
"Reynolds's enthusiasm and seemingly infinite knowledge of the music scene provide the glue for his thesis. He masterfully covers the shifting political context and the rise of independent labels like Rough Trade, Factory and Mute. He even finds space for "cassette bands" that scorned vinyl, like God & the Turds and the Scrotum Poles. Glorious"--Ian Pindar, The Guardian Review
"As an act of cultural archaeology, Simon Reynolds's wonderful new compendium
takes some beating. Taking the post-punk and new wave bands of the late
Seventies and early Eighties as his subject, Reynolds delivers a musical
encyclopedia in which Cabaret Voltaire jostle for space alongside Public Image
Ltd, Throbbing Gristle and Soft Cell. Drawn naturally to the overlooked,
neglected and just plain offbeat, Reynolds makes his opinions plain without ever
descending into insult. A fascinating treasure trove of a time when brains and beats worked in glorious - and occasionally hilarious - harmony."--Robert Colvile, Observer (Review)
"Rip It Up and Start Again... is proof that reading about music can be as good as listening to it. His knowledge of the post-punk scene is remarkable and his critical ear as impressive as his writing."--Davide Ferrauto, Personal Book Favorites of
2005,The Guardian

info on Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84 by Simon Reynolds
Punk's raw power rejuvenated rock, but by summer 1977 it had become a parody of itself. Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84 is a celebration of what happened next--bands like Joy Division, Gang of Four, Wire, Contortions, Talking Heads, The Fall, Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League--who dedicated themselves to fulfilling punk's unfinished musical revolution. Based on over 125 interviews, Rip It Up offers a panoramic survey of the seven year period following punk, taking in everything from PIL to ABC to SST to ZTT, and dealing with genres including industrial, 2-Tone, synthpop, and goth.

Months after Dallas ISD audit, district releases new employee moving expense guidelines
The Dallas school district has enacted new moving expense guidelines following an internal audit earlier this school year that found senior management did not follow certain procedures regarding hiring and relocation expenses.
The audit specifically noted that moving expenses from former executive director Dauca Sauceda appeared fabricated. The receipt she submitted to Dallas ISD showed she hired a moving company not registered with the state that listed an address of her husband's brother. She later reimbursed DISD and resigned.
At that time, Dallas ISD had no written policy regarding moving expenses. But administrators promised to craft guidelines, and they will be presented to trustees at Thursday's board briefing.
Going forward, only the superintendent, assistant superintendents, executive directors and other employees "deemed eligible by the superintendent" can get reimbursed for moving expenses. Assistant superintendents can get $7,500, while executive directors can receive $5,000. Miles has offered those amounts in the past to employees in those positions.
One part of the guidelines appear to be in direct response to Sauceda's situation. Receipts now must come from a "verifiable moving company." The district will require "substantial" documentation showing the company is valid.

Space inside many local sports bars and pubs will be at a premium come mid-day today. The 2014 FIFA World Cup of soccer kicks off with host Brazil playing Croatia at 1 p.m. The likes of Palo Alto standbys Old Pro and The Patio will be ready. So will relative newcomer First and Main Sports Lounge in Los Altos.
"We'll open a half-hour earlier Thursday," First and Main manager Vickie Breslin said. "There has been a lot of interest. We've added five televisions, so now we have 20 TV's. We put the flags of each country up. People are already reserving private viewing parties."
Old Pro General Manager Alisi Kaihau said lessons were learned from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"When USA plays, there is a huge interest," Kaihau said. "Four years ago, there was a line around the block when USA was playing."
Brazil is another country where soccer lovers flock to the pubs to watch play. During the 1994 World Cup after a match at Stanford, Brazilians were dancing in the streets into the wee hours.
"It's big for Spain," Kaihau said. "Mexico has a lot of interest. There will be some ex-pats here watching England."
The Patio isn't going to be outdone when it comes to amenities to watch the world's most beloved sport.
"We're going to be open at 8:15 a.m. for 9 a.m. games," Patio Events Coordinator Lauren Shortliffe said. "We'll have a full breakfast menu, maybe a brunch, depending on who is playing. It was packed during the 2012 Euro two years ago."
The Patio has installed a second large screen in the back patio, giving it a 90-inch screen indoors and an 80-inch screen outdoors, plus 22 other television sets to watch soccer. Capacity outdoors is 175, Shortliffe said.
"We hired extra staff," Shortliffe said. "We'll rotate drink and food specials."
There are three matches Friday, most notably Spain-Netherlands, a rematch of the last World Cup final, won by Spain 1-0 in extra time.
USA doesn't play until Monday when it takes on Ghana. Other USA matches are vs. Portugal on June 22 and vs. Germany on June 26. The World Cup final is set for July 13.
Eddie McGraw, owner of McGraw's Pub in Belmont, isn't expecting large throngs. McGraw is from Scotland, which is not among the 32 teams entered.
"Most of my clientele are Giants and 49ers fans," McGraw said. "A lot of the matches are during the day when most people are at work. I'm going to have to spread the gospel about soccer."
Kaihau said to expect some rowdy fans.
"It's going to be fun," Kaihau said. "It's going to get crazy. People are passionate about soccer. It will be great."

> The final version of OpenSUSE 10.3 is released:
> http://news.opensuse.org/?p=400
Yes, I know. I received an E-mail (watch carefully):
The openSUSE team proudly announces the availability of openSUSE 10.3, to be
renamed Enterprise Windows-compatible Linux in the next version.
We're shipping all the latest open source packages that are available after Mr.
Ballmer has completed a quick inspection. As highlights, we'd like to point
out the latest desktops, GNOME 2.20 and KDE 3.5.7 plus KDE 4 preview, our MP3
support with Microsoft's patent coverage (courtesy of Alcatel-Lucent) via
gstreamer plug-in by Fluendo, a dual faster boot process (for Vista), heavily
optimised and improved package management, 1-click install option for
additional software (patent protection for this idea from Microsoft will last
for another 4 years), OpenOffice 2.3 (with OOXML support), XEN 3.1 and
VirtualBox 1.5 (SUSE Linux exclusive thanks to the interop lab and the joint
efforts with our good friends from Redmond) and, last but not least, our 1 CD
installation which provides a small but fully loaded Vista trial version. For
all the news and impressive screenshots, have a look at
http://news.opensuse.org/?p=400 and have a look at things to come at
http://microsoft.com/products/vienna .
It's available now to download at http://software.openSUSE.org, only as a x86
version (64-bit is impractical, according to our partners at Redmond and PPC
is only used by rival companies) - from our mirrors and via bittorrent.
The following ISOs can be downloaded: the 1 CD open source version with an
add-on CD containing proprietary software, such as WGA, Windows Media Player,
XPS reader, HD viewer, Silverlight Limited Edition, RealNetworks
RealPlayer, .NET clone called Mono, and Sun Java Runtime Environment. DVD ISOs
for all architectures are available and contain the open source version plus
proprietary add-ons. An installable Live CD will be released in October, and
the Edu add-on CD [http://en.opensuse.org/Education] will show up in the same
time frame. However, thanks to our recently-commissioned studies, we are told
that children prefer Windows.
As usual, openSUSE 10.3 will be available in European retail channels as a
boxed product. The Register reports that the price in Britian exceeds 3,000
pounds (true story). In North America, the box will be available through
shopNovell [http://shop.novell.com]. Due to production lead times and
disruption due to the layoffs that Novell is expecting in October 2007 boxes
will start to show up on shelves and in online shops approximately on Oct
11th. Pre-orders can be placed here: http://en.opensuse.org/Buy_openSUSE
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Microsoft and the whole openSUSE
community for tons of protection, coupons, attacking rival Linux distribution
with FUD, testing, feedback, contributions and over all participation in
helping to make openSUSE 10.3 an awesome distribution. While risking missing
out some important contributors, we'd like to spotlight some
community members (some of whom are paid) for their outstanding work:
- Ballmer for Producing FUD against rival Linuxes
- Hilf for relentless 'patent terrorism'
- Francis for Sneak Peeks [http://news.opensuse.org/?cat=17]
- Beineri for his Quickies [http://news.opensuse.org/?cat=12]
- Benji for the 1-click install [http://news.opensuse.org/?p=133]
- Pascal and sPIN for community help [http://help.opensuse.org/]
- All the community translators -
Our top 3 bug reporters for openSUSE 10.3
- Andreas Hanke
- David Binderman
- Casual J. Programmer
Have a lot of fun!
Christoph, Coolo, Michael

To the Editor: In their Research Letter describing treatment for rabies in a patient with lymphoma, Dr Hay and colleagues1 recommended doubling the dose of rabies vaccine and postponing chemotherapy. However, we believe that several issues surrounding rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) require clasification.
First, an assay for antibodies is used to detect an immune response against rabies virus, not to define protection.2 Therefore, "acceptable" response is a more preferred term than "protective" response. The rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test is the current viral neutralization test of choice for human sera.3,4 The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended that complete neutralization of virus at a serum dilution of 1:5 is acceptable.3 The World Health Organization recommends a more conservative level of 0.5 IU/mL (a titer of approximately 1:50 by serum dilution).4 Both of these values are arbitrary laboratory standards and neither equates with protection.
