DETROIT —"Reporting Live" features 15 original songs from the Detroit emcee, featuring guest appearances from national artists Freeway, Saigon and Eternia, plus production from Monkodelic, Oddisee, Black Bethoven and more. Babygrande Records is handling international distribution, a company with a 10-year history of delivering independent albums from artists like Brand Nubian, Wu-Tang Clan and more.
The album is a follow up to the critically acclaimed album "Gas Mask" from the group The Left, released in 2010 through Mello Music Group. The Left featured Journalist 103, Apollo Brown and DJ Soko, and the concept of the album's title was to warn audiences that hip hop music is being used against the people like poison. Positive, thought-provoking music can act as a "gas mask" to help filter out the nonsense.
Journalist 103 says he senses the urgency in bringing hip hop back to its roots of creative expression as a way to help society. Listening to popular hip hop and R&B music on the radio today tends to promote negative behaviors, he says.
"You're talking about an art that's barely 30 years old," says Journalist 103, "but coming up in the '90s, there was a clear distinction: this is a hip hop record, this is an R&B record. Now they're almost identical. Everything is oversexed, everything is all about money, everything is all about superficial things. Nothing feeds the soul, there's no nourishment in the music. It doesn't stimulate the brain."
"Reporting Live" builds on the statement that "Gas Mask" made about hip hop as a culture being neglected by the corporations who control distribution and promotion of the music. When popular rap artists appeal only to materialism, misogyny and criminal behavior, the art becomes separated from the hearts of the people.
"The music corporations, they manufacture music," says Journalist 103. "It's not meant to be manufactured; it's a creative process, you have to create it. It has to come from the heart. When writing something, I never come in with trying to follow gimmicks, or just be insincere. I want the audience to feel where I come from, I want them to feel like they can relate."
Journalist 103 has been a productive member of Detroit's hip hop scene for over 15 years, first as a member of the group Mountain Climbaz, then as an artist affiliated with Iron Fist Records, the local label run by the late Proof of D12. His music has always been praised for high quality, but opportunities to reach a wide audience were elusive.
"For years and years, (we were) trying to get into the industry," says Journalist 103. "It seems like every summer we would get close and the door would slam in our face(s). I could not understand it for the life of me. I said, 'The music is dope, there's radio singles,' and I couldn't understand it."
But Journalist says when he started to do things his own way, things started to open up for him.
"I started going in the direction that I needed to go," he said.

Sun Ra
Share This
Of all the jazz musicians,
Sun Ra
was probably the most controversial. He did not make it easy for people to take him seriously, for he surrounded his adventurous music with costumes and mythology that both looked backward toward ancient Egypt and forward into science fiction. In addition,
documented his music in very erratic fashion on his Saturn label, generally not listing recording dates and giving inaccurate personnel information, so one could not really tell how advanced some of his innovations were. It has taken a lot of time to sort it all out (although
Robert L. Campbell
Sun Ra
discography has done a miraculous job). In addition, while there were times when
Sun Ra
's aggregation performed brilliantly, on other occasions they were badly out of tune and showcasing absurd vocals. Near the end of his life,
was featuring plate twirlers and fire eaters in his colorful show as a sort of
Ed Sullivan
for the 1980s.
But despite all of the trappings,
Sun Ra
was a major innovator. Born
Herman Sonny Blount
in Birmingham, AL (although he claimed he was from another planet),
led his own band for the first time in 1934. He freelanced at a variety of jobs in the Midwest, working as a pianist/arranger with
Fletcher Henderson
in 1946-1947. He appeared on some obscure records as early as 1948, but really got started around 1953. Leading a big band (which he called
the Arkestra
) in Chicago,
started off playing advanced bop, but early on was open to the influences of other cultures, experimenting with primitive electric keyboards, and playing free long before the avant-garde got established.
After moving to New York in 1961,
performed some of his most advanced work. In 1970, he relocated his group to Philadelphia, and in later years alternated free improvisations and mystical group chants with eccentric versions of swing tunes, sounding like a spaced-out
Fletcher Henderson
orchestra. Many of his most important sidemen were with him on and off for decades (most notably
John Gilmore
on tenor, altoist
Marshall Allen
, and baritonist
Pat Patrick
, who recorded for more than a dozen labels, has been well served by Evidence's extensive repackaging of many of his Saturn dates, which have at last been outfitted with correct dates and personnel details. In the late '90s, other labels began reissuing albums from
Sun Ra
's vast catalog, an effort that will surely continue for years to come.

- Tue, Aug 20, 2013, 10:11 PMI have the old version of the attendance module. It has been working well. If I upgrade, am I not going to be able to work with the attendance records I already have? I have not upgraded yet because I am afraid that I won't be able to view attendance reports generated by the other plugin.
- Wed, Aug 21, 2013, 4:59 AMHI Heather,
the code does perform an upgrade/migration of the data but the version here in the plugins db doesn't clear the course cache after doing the migration so the old content won't appear unless the course cache is cleared.
The latest code in my github repo does clear the course cache though and I'll be updating the code here in the plugins db with that version sometime this week.
(but - always good practice to run test-upgrades on a test system before running upgrades on your production sites to make sure)
- Thu, Sep 19, 2013, 3:43 PMI have previously downloaded this module and had some difficulty. Having identified what I believe to be the problem, I tried to uninstall the module & block and then hoped to reinstall correctly. I receive an error message that tells me that a mod_table has previously been installed and a new installation cannot take place. Is there a way to completely uninstall all evidence of the module and block and restart the installation sequence?
- Fri, Dec 5, 2014, 1:15 AMHi Dan,
The most recent version of this plugin, 20130700302 was released on March 15, 2014. It does not include the following string definition that was added in February 12, 2014:
$string['attendance:addinstance'] = 'Add a new attendance block';
See the following page for details:
Could you please add this string to the plugin available for download on this Moodle plugins site?
Best regards,
- Fri, Dec 5, 2014, 4:21 AMdone - thanks for letting me know!
- Tue, Nov 17, 2015, 12:24 AM
Would not it be nice to celebrate the Moodle 3.0 release by adding some longer description here?
- Tue, Nov 17, 2015, 4:59 AMThanks David - it's pretty simple but I've added a longer description
- Fri, Mar 25, 2016, 3:29 AMI have changed the code a bit in order to support the computation of max_grade based on the values of the set of status for each session of the students, instead of just using the amount of sessions multiplied by the value of the first status.
This allow for status set with different max values to be taken into account when computing both the max_grade and the relative score.
Anyone interested in such feature?
- Sun, Mar 27, 2016, 3:31 PMgrades management in attendance could do with some further improvements - I'm always keen to receive well written pull-requests that improve things! - there are a few grading related bugs in the issue tracker here that would be good to keep in mind with any changes:
It would be great to see a pull request to improve some of these!
- Tue, Apr 19, 2016, 8:19 PMWould it be possible to add in a filter option to view single attendance per class? The teachers can download a students attendance, but it shows the attendance for all classes on the course rather than just their own module. When a student has many classes the teachers find it impossible to make sense of it when they are doing one to ones with students.
- Thu, Apr 21, 2016, 10:13 AMI'm not completely clear what you are asking for - what do you mean by a "Class" - we already allow the export to be sorted by group. Perhaps you could start a new discussion in attendance forum with screenshots that show the issue you are experiencing and what you are asking for.
- Sat, Jun 25, 2016, 3:04 AMHi Dan, would it be possible to have a setting that changes the way dates are presented? I know us Americans are weirdos, but MM-DD-YY would be easier for our folks to read.
- Mon, Jun 27, 2016, 5:49 AMyou should be able to set them in the lang/en_us
but I haven't audited all the places where dates are used in the code, some of the local lang strings could probably be converted into using the standard core lang strings.

The Post and Courier
Dub 2012 a good season in the car, cycle and watercraft business locally, and chances are there will be consensus.
That doesnt mean all 366 days were colossal, slam bang, pie in the sky, hail mary touchdown periods. But car and truck sales rose nationally, bikers bought two- and three-wheelers and boat dealers continued to rally from flat results just a couple of years ago.
And while some auto and boating ventures, groups and people wouldnt hype 2012 beyond the good tag, others in the Lowcountry would count the year as memorable.
As a last look, here are a few happenings from each of the four quarters that stood out in greater Charleston Wheels and Waves spheres.
Baker Motor Co. lands the Sentry dealership on Savannah Highway, taking over existing Buick and GMC franchises while relocating its Cadillac outlet from Mount Pleasant. The move left the former Miller Cadillac property largely vacant.
The 32nd annual Charleston Boat Show draws sizable crowds, launching a fairly active pleasure watercraft season.
McElveen opens its mammoth Truckville complex at its Buick GMC dealership in Summerville. The facility is considered the largest truck store in the state.
The head of Mustang Club of Italy yes, Italy hitches a ride to Charleston on a sailboat taking part in an around-the-globe race. The Italian rep meets with the Lowcountry Mustang Club at a special car show in Mount Pleasant.
American Biker hosts its fourth yearly Spring Bash and Bike Show at its shop in Ladson along Interstate 26.
Retired General Motors executive and Charleston resident George Spaulding writes his final column for The Post and Courier, putting away his typewriter after 25 years.
Automotive News trade magazine taps Lexus of Charleston on Savannah Highway as one of the best dealerships to work for. In the fall, the outlet finds out it ranks 61st out of the top 100 outfits. Lexus of Charleston is part of Hendrick Automotive Group.
Zodiac inflatable boat maker designs a new corporate logo. The companys North American operations are in Dorchester County.
Baker Motor throws a soiree to open its fully remodeled Land Rover, Jaguar, Porsche and smart showrooms.
Palmetto Ford Inc.s boating tie-in with SeaFox further firms up as another brand, Regulator, is sold alongside the Moncks Corner-based brand in West Ashley and Mount Pleasant.
SeaRay Scout of Charleston off Interstate 526 at Daniel Island changes its name to Hall Marine Charleston to reflect the boat dealerships regional parent.
Vintage Thunderbird Club International puts on its national convention, including a T-bird car show, in Mount Pleasant.
The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Association holds its annual meeting in Charleston.
Mini of Charlestons racing team won regional events and overall kept pace in a new Sports Car Club of America classification geared to compacts that are tuned like showroom models.
TruAuto pre-owned car dealership, an affiliate of McElveen Automotive, opens on Ladson Road.
Greater Charlestons first Fiat outlet sets up at Hendrick Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram in North Charleston.
The Toyota dealership on Savannah Highway completes its wholesale renovation and expansion while changing its name to Fred Anderson Toyota.

Knesting: Slipcovers for IKEA Furniture
- Location: Online
- Specialty: Slipcovers for IKEA furniture
- Price range: $$
- Website: knesting.com
Store History
- Founded: 2010
- Founded by: Susan Knight
- Headquarters: Atlanta, GA
Name/Title: Susan, Owner What was the inspiration for opening Knesting.com? After spending a couple of years living in Spain, I was excited to return to the States and setup a new home. Since I'd become accustomed to a tiny, furnished apartment full of cheerful IKEA home goods while abroad, IKEA was my first stop for decorating a new place on a budget. After wandering the living room maze for an hour, I was stumped how to create my own style with their limited slipcover options. I went home assuming someone online would offer a solution to this decorating dilemma. But I was shocked to discover no one in the US was making covers for the most popular IKEA sofa models. Fast forward a couple of years and some restless nights pondering the question, "Why isn't anyone making covers for IKEA furniture in the US?" Really, I'm not kidding. It kept me up at night. So eventually I decided to make it happen. When did you launch Knesting.com? I opened my Etsy shop and began selling my first covers in 2010. Knesting.com was then launched a few months later in early 2011. Where are the slipcovers produced? All of our slipcovers are proudly made in our home base of Atlanta, Georgia. What is the current best selling item? The grey and yellow chevron slipcovers for the Ektorp armchair were our biggest sellers in 2012. And it seems like people still can't get enough of the fun chevron prints this year. What is your favorite item? My favorite is our Oatmeal Linen slipcovers. The fabric is so lovely, yet also durable and it coordinates wonderfully with so many of our other fabric options. It is a great neutral color that can take on completely new looks by simply changing out throw pillows. Other than your own, what is your favorite store? Obviously I am an IKEA junkie, but I love to mix up my décor with vintage pieces from local antique and thrift stores. My favorite shop here in Atlanta is Kudzu Antiques where I can always find an interesting old table, funky lamp, or a great vintage map for a quick home makeover.

LOS ANGELES — The Stanford defense has become accustomed to facing elite quarterbacks, so the idea of facing Michigan State's red-hot quarterback, Connor Cook, does not put fear in the Cardinal.
"It's unbelievable how many good quarterbacks we have played this year and we're facing another really good quarterback,'' Stanford All-American and national sacks leader (14) Trent Murphy said at Saturday's press conference at the LA Hotel Downtown. "He makes smart decisions in the pocket. He likes to run the ball actually more than I had originally expected or thought he did.
"Sometimes he gets hot in games throwing the ball, so it's definitely going to be a challenge to get him uncomfortable and get him off the spot and out of his rhythm and what he does.''
Stanford safety Ed Reynolds has studied Cook as closely as anyone, as it will be key for him to anticipate when and where the Michigan State quarterback is going with the football based on formations and Cook's mannerisms.
Reynolds said he expects the No. 4-ranked Spartans (12-1) to use a variety of formations when they face the No. 5 Cardinal (11-2) in Wednesday's Rose Bowl.
"They can go tackle over, they can go tight end wing, they can spread you out and go four wide, and they can do a lot of different things because they have the athletes, too,'' Reynolds said. "I watched (games) from towards the end of the year, Ohio State, Northwestern and Nebraska.
"And then I started watching the earlier games, and it's very evident that they started to find their identity come that latter half of the year. They were rotating quarterbacks, and when they finally found their guy, they really tailored that system to him.''
Cook, Reynolds said, is very good at not tipping his hand and possesses a strong enough arm to keep the secondary honest.
"He's very good at not really staring down wide receivers, kind of scans the field,'' Reynolds said. "They give him, well I won't say they give him easy reads, but they make it to where he can get the ball out of his hands quickly.
"One thing he does very well is he's more athletic than people give him credit for. They boot (-leg) him out, they run a lot of sprints, put him in space, and he can throw on the run. He can do it either way, left or right.''
Stanford nickleback Usua Amanam can read several languages, but he admits it will be hard to read Cook.
"It's a testament to the quarterback, he doesn't zero in on one guy, he finds the open guy,'' Amanam said. "Cook does a great job of staying in the pocket and moving his feet and getting the ball out. That's something that we definitely have to key in on in terms of trying to get to him before he get the ball out. He has a great feel for the game and for what defenses are trying to do to him.''
Amanam said the key for Stanford to beat Cook will be to stick to the game plan that defensive coordinator Derek Mason has designed especially for the Spartans.
"I think for us we just have to execute our game plan,'' he said. "They've got a bevy of wide receivers and they have a big O-line and their running back (Jeremy) Langford can make some plays.
"But I think we've put together a great game plan for us, and if we go out and execute it, I think we'll be fine.''

HOOVER, Alabama - Hey, Les Miles. Nick Saban feels your pain.
No, seriously.
Before you had to play Florida every year as the SEC coach, Saban had to play the Gators every year as the LSU coach.
"I understand where Les Miles is coming from," Saban said. "I coached at LSU. We played Florida every year, too. So if anyone understands, I understand. Understand?"
Understand that, by mentioning that he coached at LSU, Saban was in no way, shape or form trying to remind everyone that he built the house where Miles now lives. Even though he did. And some of these newbies around here might not be aware.
Memo to Les Miles: If you have a question, Nick Saban has the answer.
You think your LSU team and Saban's Alabama team don't have an equal path to the SEC championship? You're right, and Saban agrees with you.
"There can never be an equal path to the championship unless everybody plays everybody," Saban said.
Can't argue with that, even though it doesn't exactly address Miles' concern, and hey, whoa, wait just a minute. Do you see what Saban's doing here? Empathizing with the only coach in the league who's been able to look him in the eye since 2007? Not going off on the kind of question that used to set him off?
If Saban's going to go around killing people with kindness, too, the rest of the league might want to abandon all hope.
Not Miles, of course. No coach has pushed Saban to these rare heights quite like his wildly successful successor in Baton Rouge. The only thing more entertaining than listening to the coaches go back and forth, as they did at SEC Media Days, is watching their teams go nose to nose.
LSU did everything in its power to keep Alabama from playing for the BCS Championship two years ago by outlasting the Tide in Tuscaloosa. Last season, the Tigers were one stop shy of beating Alabama in Baton Rouge and advancing to meet Georgia in a national semifinal themselves.
Head to head in the regular season, Saban and Miles are dead even at three wins each. Since Saban got to Tuscaloosa, Miles is the only coach to beat him more than once. So what separates them besides their personalities and the way their fan bases feel about them?
One game in New Orleans. One three-touchdown beatdown.
That one game makes their scale feel more unbalanced than the SEC's bridge schedules. For the second straight year, the bridge builders have treated Saban and Miles like kids at Halloween.
Except Miles is Charlie Brown. He keeps getting rocks.
Alabama 21, LSU 0 in that 2012 BCS Championship Game threatened to reduce the number of true alpha males among SEC coaches from two to one. How did Miles react? By pushing Saban to the limit last year.
Saban understands that, as long as Miles stays, LSU isn't going away. Six of the seven games they've played have been, as Saban said Thursday, "like two heavyweights going toe-to-toe."
He added, "Our expectation is always going to be that that's going to be one of the most difficult games that we have in our season."
At the risk of incurring Saban's wrath, it's easy to suggest that Alabama faces a two-game regular season in pursuit of a three-peat. At Texas A&M. At home against LSU.
Alabama's path is much easier than LSU's - LSU has Florida and Georgia; the TIde has Tennessee and Kentucky - but don't call it easy. LSU's still in the way.
"We look forward to lining up against the best in the East and the best in the West," Miles said.
Saban didn't even bother to respond. He was too busy not wearing his championship rings.

This is the second edition of Best of Burning River Baseball and it features an article written by Mike Melaragno back in February of this year. The original article is repeated in its entirety below, in italics, with new commentary in red.
Throughout Major League Baseball, Nick Swisher has been underrated for much of his career. Except when coming in sixth for the Rookie of the Year with a .236 average in 2005 and making an All-Star team in 2010. With the exception of when he played in the large media market of New York, not many national writers have given Swisher the recognition he has deserved. Swisher has had problems with the media of late, but the Indians gave him recognition when they dropped $56M on him in 2012.
Quietly, he has been reliably good for a very long time. Since 2006, he's played 145 or more games per season, hit over 20 home runs, and walked enough to make the Kevin Youkilis, the "Greek god of walks", look like only a demi-god. Although he only earned a .246 AVG in 2013, he can still be counted on to provide consistency to the lineup in 2014. Currently he is on pace to play in 132 games, hit 10 home runs, knock in about 50, walk just 62 times and bat under .200.
Last season, Swisher dealt with a shoulder injury that he suffered early in the season and re-aggravated in June. The injury likely stemmed from playing right field, something he hasn't done in 2014. That, combined with age, probably explains his career low .177 isolated power. Move over as that number is currentl .126 for 2014. There is a lot of varying information on the internet about the shoulder injury, so it's unclear if it's fully healed or something that could continue to dog him in future seasons. Swisher recently turned 33-years-old, so he is entering the portion of his career where his durability might become an issue. Swisher has spent 16 days on the DL already this season, but it was with an unrelated knee injury.
Aside from the shoulder issue, Swisher makes a very boring study. If you find striking out looking boring. Something he has already done 22 times this year. The available data fail to suggest any noteworthy changes in his profile. His fly ball distance remained a robust 295 feet in 2013 (294 in 2012), which ranked him between Evan Longoria and Anthony Rizzo for the 40th best distance. His fly ball, ground ball, and line drive rates have been practically unchanged for the past three seasons. His line drive rate actually has gone up in 2014 by 10% above that three year average. He is whiffing slightly more frequently these last two seasons, but his strikeout rate was only slightly higher than his career averages. That has also risen this year, by five percent to 26% of at bats. Other avenues of analysis like PITCHf/x failed to reveal any new information. Possibly the worst analytic is that while his BABIP is far below league average at .255, it is nowhere near low enough to warrant an average under .200. In fact, it is a better BABIP than he had in 2008 with the White Sox (.249), a year he still managed to hit 21 doubles and 24 home runs.
ZIPS, a projection system used by Fangraphs, projects a useful .247/.342/.410 line with 18 home runs, 66 runs, and 66 RBI. Nick Swisher dreams of having that line since in reality, it is currently .197/.285/.322, although the RBI and run totals could be accurate by the end of the season as he has been jammed into the middle of the lineup most of the year. The runs scored and RBI totals depend on how the Indians use Swisher. Exactly. With his healthy on base and slugging percentages, he could score more frequently at the top of the lineup or drive in more runs if batting in the middle of the order. He was frequently used as the second hitter in 2013, so expect him to score more runs this season. With the early success of Asdrubal Cabrera, Lonnie Chisenhall and Michael Brantley, Swisher has actually spent most of the time in the lower middle of the lineup of late, generally batting sixth or seventh. He did start the year hitting second and still has more at bats at that position than any other hitter.
There were many who questioned how much money the Indians gave Swisher last season. However, could they have uncovered a market inefficiency: the consistent veteran? If the Indians uncovered a mark inefficiency, it was the pre-arb All-Star. Last season it was Jason Kipnis and Justin Masterson who lead the Indians to the play-offs, not Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi and Swisher. Again this season that trend has continued with the top players being Michael Brantley and Corey Kluber, with significant help from other young players like Josh Tomlin and Trevor Bauer.

Credit card processing service Securus Payments of Portland is ringing up a pattern of complaints for sales practices and contract issues, the Better Business Bureau warned Tuesday.
The company, which also goes by Payprotec Oregon LLC, has an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau as a result of 53 complaints within BBB's three-year reporting period, 19 of which were left unanswered or unresolved.
Complainants from across the country describe false sales presentation promises, the organization said. In some cases, unexpected rates or fees occur after sign up and cancellation charges are not disclosed upfront.
Business owners who deny services and ask to be removed from contact lists say that Securus Payments continues to call; while those with complaints and cancellations claim that the company is difficult to reach.
Watch out for merchant processors that promise substantial savings and switch services without contracts, warns BBB serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington. Before buying, review the following articles:

Michelle Austin-Wilks, 38, of Parkland, Florida, who operated a title company in Broward County, was charged with four counts of wire fraud in connection with her participation in a mortgage fraud scheme, Federal officials announced yesterday.
The alleged crimes occurred when Austin-Wilks was President and Director of Direct Title & Escrow Services, Inc., in Oakland Park, Florida. Austin-Wilks and others allegedly engaged in a scheme to enrich themselves by fraudulently buying and selling residential real estate property in Broward County through straw buyers. These straw buyers obtained high value mortgages based on fraudulent mortgage loan applications and closing statements.
According to the allegations, after the lenders approved the loans based on the false loan applications, Austin-Wilks prepared false HUD-1 Settlement Statements that, among other things, falsely represented to the lenders falsely inflated purchase prices and fictional down payments. A separate version of the settlement statement was submitted to the seller, showing the true sale price.
Lenders wired a total of approximately $3 million in mortgage loan proceeds into Direct Title & Escrow's bank account in transactions allegedly involved in the scheme. Of that money, Austin-Wilks allegedly diverted $68,562 and $382,000, respectively, to a mortgage broker and a straw buyer for their assistance in the mortgage fraud scheme. The mortgage broker, Jinnie Mathurin, has pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and was sentenced on March 7, 2012 to one year and one day of imprisonment, three years supervised release and ordered to pay $1.17 million in restitution by U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks. The straw buyer, Guhier Florvilus, also pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 17, 2012 .

- Everything went smoothly. However returning from US was too expensive
- Hannah Sexton was extremely efficient and obliging sending an image of the cushion colours I requested as they varied from those advertised. I would buy from Amara again should there be a product I required.
- Great website. Delivery very prompt.
- My order was very easy to place, and I received it very promptly. I will be giving it as baby shower gift, so I am unable to attest to its usability. I was trying to get a Vera Wang baby spoon that matched the mom-to-be 's silver pattern, and this one came as close as possible. It has a nice weight and is very beautiful.
- Efficient and timely delivery. The website was clear and easy to use. I would use them again. They carry some beautiful designs in bed linen. Some brands are obviously very high end and expensive, and the quality of the brand I bought was excellent
- Excellent speedy delivery
- Great products. Excellent service. Quick delivery.
- Communication was excellent and quick. A problem with my first order was solved immediately and not even at my insistence. Customer service was extremely polite and offered a solution. delivery was super quick and easy. This company is reliable and consumer oriented.
- Amara, have been excellent. Seamless transactions and very speedy delivery, this is impressive for an international transaction.
- Their usual great and polite customer service - Only issue is a day or two after I placed order I realized that I had a 15% discount offer , from previous order placed - When I asked Amara to honor this they refused and told me to use it in the future - Not terrible but not up to the usual great service from Amara

Ty Longley's father, Pat, didn't attend the memorial services over the weekend in West Warwick, R.I., to mark the 10th anniversary of a nightclub fire that killed 100 people, including his son.
''To be honest, I contemplated going,'' Longley said. ''I was checking on flights, but in talking with my son's former girlfriend, she's been up there a few times, and every time she's been there, she's run into people who were hostile toward the band members. I don't want to go up there and have to deal with any animosity of any kind.''
Ty Longley, a 1990 Brookfield High School graduate, played guitar for the band Great White, and the pyrotechnics the band used on stage ignited the flammable packing foam the club used for soundproofing. That fire on Feb. 20, 2003, killed the 31-year-old musician and 99 concertgoers.

Instead, the father will mark the anniversary of the death the same way he has for the last decade.
''I ordered some roses today (Monday),'' he said. ''I'll take them to the grave at lunch time on Wednesday.''
Ty Longley's girlfriend, Heidi Peralta, was pregnant at the time of his death and gave birth to their son in August 2003. Pat Longley said he doesn't get to see his grandson as much as he would like, but he's still in touch with Peralta as well as his son's Great White bandmates.
Since the fire, Rhode Island has passed several laws changing fire codes for nightclubs and other public venues, including requiring sprinkler systems. Pat Longley is happy to see those changes, but he's not sure they make much difference.
''I work in construction and sprinklers don't save lives as much as they save buildings,'' he said. ''It's a big expense, and it's the fumes that kill. By the time the place goes up in flames, the fumes may have already killed you. It's the materials used (at the club) that were really bad.''
And a similar fire that killed 230 people last month at a nightclub in Brazil shows that the danger remains.
''That hit me right away when I saw that,'' Longley said.
Plans are under way to build a permanent memorial at the site of the nightclub.
''I'll sneak into town sometime on my own,'' he said. ''I won't tell the media or anyone I'm there.''
Even though the anniversary of the fire is Wednesday, survivors and relatives of the 100 who died gathered Sunday.
"It's just very tough," said Walter Castle Jr., 39, a survivor who suffered third-degree burns in his lungs, throat and bronchial tubes.
Angela Bogart, who was 19 when her mother, Jude Henault, was killed in the fire, said she has come to know and understand her mother more in the decade since she died, especially since she has become a mother herself.
"My mom lives in me in everything I do. I hear her voice wherever I go," she said. "When I walk hand-in-hand with my little girl, my mother is holding her other hand."
The ceremony also featured musical performances, a reading of the names of the people who died and 100 seconds of silence.

WASHINGTON - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has been drafted by the President to kick off a nationwide challenge to combat America's obesity epidemic.
Stay-tuned for Melissa Charbonneau's full report, on The 700 Club's Skinny Wednesday, March 26.
The six-week program, called the President's National Fitness Challenge, is designed to encourage Americans to get physically fit.
Manning, a member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, announced the program's kick-off at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., March 20. He joined Bush and other members of the council in the White House Rose Garden.
Earlier this year, Manning was named NFL Most Valuable Player for leading the Giants to an upset Super Bowl victory. On Thursday, he and a group of disabled American veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq helped launch the challenge with a 30-minute walk to Battery Park.
CBN News Reporter Melissa Charbonneau spoke with Manning and several experts about the program. Watch more below on what the President's Fitness Challenge will mean to Americans.

Steve Van Gorden officially became Zephyrhills's first new mayor in a decade shortly after 5 p.m. Friday.
That's when he was sworn into office at City Hall by City Clerk Linda Boan.
Earlier in the day, Pasco's Canvassing Board certified Van Gorden's 377 votes to opponent Michael Payne's 158, effectively locking in his landslide win with more than 70 percent of the vote.
Van Gorden, 36, a former Dade City commissioner, is principal of Zephyrhills High and is president-elect of the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce and the Zephyrhills Noon Rotary. He has pledged to spend lots of time listening to residents' opinions, concerns and ideas. He says he will do his best to follow former Mayor Cliff McDuffie's example of leadership. Van Gorden wants to be a strong force in the city's major redevelopment efforts and luring new businesses to the area.
Also sworn in Friday night were City Council members Jodi Wilkeson and Ken Burgess, who ran unopposed.
The City Council also voted unanimously to reorganize, elevating Kent Compton to council president and Lance Smith to vice president.
The mayor and council members serve for two years and are paid $6,000 annually.
The next council meeting is April 23.

From the safety of dry land in Philadelphia, tsunamis in Japan, floods in New Orleans, multiyear droughts in San Diego, and fracking mishaps in Western Pennsylvania might look like other people's problems. But the water issues confronting this region in the near future will be no less severe, or costly to remedy.
That was the sobering lesson of a two-day symposium this weekend at the University of Pennsylvania. Sponsored by Penn's design school, the event brought a flow of ideas from an international lineup of designers, landscape architects, engineers, and historians.

Keith Allen, 90, the Flyers' first head coach and the general manager who built the franchise's archetypical Stanley Cup-winning teams of the 1970s, died Tuesday.
Mr. Allen had suffered from dementia over the last four years and recently had been staying in an assisted-living facility in Newtown Square. A December 2012 story in The Inquirer described him spending his days playing bingo, watching movies, and participating in exercise and arts-and-crafts classes.
"It's obviously sad, but Keith was at the end of his line, and in some ways it's probably a relief for his family," said Bob Clarke, the captain of the Flyers' 1974 and 1975 championship teams and the franchise's former general manager. "Nobody likes to lose a family member. Keith is an old man, and he had a peaceful ending. So God bless him."

Saturday's District 10 girls soccer highlights, Aug. 30
- Fairview 2, Harbor Creek 1: At Harbor Creek, Antonia Piazza converted a corner kick early in the second half to snap a 1-1 tie, and the Tigers made it stand up the rest of the way to capture their second straight Harbor Creek Tournament title at Paul J. Weitz Stadium on Saturday.
Piazza's goal came off a corner by Maya Sanazini and it proved to be the difference for Fairview, which got strong play from stopper Jordyn Sanner and freshman goalkeeper Shay Tresler.
Megan McWilliams scored early in the game to give Fairview a 1-0 lead, putting home a shot from well outside the 18-yard line.
But Harbor Creek regained the momentum midway through the half and tied the score on Jenny Angelo's third goal in two games. Taylor Yount assisted on the goal.
In the tournament's consolation game, Seneca defeated Kennedy Catholic 3-1.
- Villa Maria 4, Butler 1: At Butler, Makena Sliber collected three goals to spark the Victors to a season-opening non-region win over the Golden Tornado.
Taylor McMahon added a goal for Villa, which led 3-0 at halftime. Emily Schwabenbauer and Molly Whaley picked up assists for the Victors.
- General McLane 7, Meadville 2: At Edinboro, Laura Schaefer scored three goals and assisted on two others, sparking the Lancers to a season-opening non-region win over the Bulldogs.
Lauren Gierlak added two goals for the winners while Kerrigan Burrell and Jess Kavelish each scored once.
Amber Cole and Sydney Lewandowski scored one goal each for Meadville.
- North Allegheny 6, McDowell 1: At North Allegheny, Kylie Franz scored the lone goal for the Trojans, which cut the deficit to 3-1 in the second half, but that was as close as they would get en route to a season-opening loss at the hands of the Tigers.
- Upper St. Clair 3, Mercyhurst Prep 1: At Upper St. Clair, Maggie Clark scored the lone goal for the Lakers, who fell to 0-2. The two teams battled through a scoreless tie but the Panthers erupted for three second-half goals to improve to 1-0-1.

Now you can apply for a building permit in your bathrobe
by Bronwyn Wilson
Senior Staff Reporter
It's spring and the idea of outdoor dining on a beautiful new deck appeals to you. And since you don't have a deck, you decide to build one.
You draw up plans for a gorgeous bi-level deck and add lattice screens for flowering vines. You can practically feel the peaceful tranquility of basking in the summer sun on the new deck.
But wait, you'll need to apply for a building permit first. In the past, this could involve a car trip to Woodinville City Hall and, once there, include a search for the right department that handles permits for building decks.
Not anymore. E-government is here. Now, if you need a permit, you can download the form right in your own home and fill it out while still wearing your bathrobe.
But you'll still need to send it to the city for approval. In the near future, though, you'll be able to actually apply on-line.
"What we're going to offer next is applying for permits online," said Assistant to the City Manager Deborah Knight. This will probably occur next year, she said. Citizens will fill out the form and pay the fee with one click of the mouse.
"What we're really hoping to focus on next year are simple permitting processes," said Knight who added, "Our goal is to provide the service by the function. You should be able to go online and say 'I need permits' and go to permits."
She explained, "People get discouraged from trying to figure out what department does what and who handles it. The idea of e-government is, 'let's not talk about who, let's talk about what.' Such as, 'I need a permit.'"
More electronic opportunities are on the horizon. Up ahead is the day people will apply for business registration or register for Parks and Recreation classes online, and at the same time pay the appropriate fees.
Knight said that government service via the personal computer and the Internet is more efficient as it saves citizens time and eliminates a trip to City Hall.
Though applying for permits is not yet available, the online service will be open 24 hours a day, seven day a week.
However, downloading permit applications is currently accessible at the city's Web site.
The Woodinville City Council is still deciding what online services to provide and making certain that security issues are in place for a safe framework in handling financial transactions.
Once these applications are up and running, the e-government possibilities can take off. For example, citizens could be notified by e-mail of City meetings or certain actions taking place within the city. Also the day is coming when citizens can log on for the City Council agenda.
Knight added, "In five years, you should be able to attend the City Council meetings online."
Last October, the city contracted with a company called Windsor Solutions for assistance in prioritizing what on-line services should be offered. The company helped the city to develop an e-government strategy and define what the citizens wanted.
Also recommending services that are best suited online is a Citizen Advisory Panel made up of a cross-section of about six members of the community including a resident, a developer, a banker and a librarian.
Anyone who has an idea for a service the city might provide online that hasn't been mentioned, should contact Deborah Knight at (425) 489-2700.

Little Big Horn was no picnic for Custer, but at least he didn't have to go to the podium afterward and say that while the cavalry might not have looked good in this one, it just needs to tighten up its assignments and gap discipline a little. Just a matter of time before things get turned around.
Gen. Bill Davis had that pleasure earlier this week as he tried to explain what happened on the high plains of Colorado with a full quiver of Peyton Manning's arrows still sticking out of his back. The defensive coordinator didn't like the game much - "we took a whupping" - but remains convinced the Eagles will start playing better defense any time now.

The cafe is still a spot to get your quiche fix, but the couple has been slowly unrolling an expanded menu with original entrees and in-house baked desserts, with the dream of eventually creating a unique fine dining experience.
"My husband likes to play with different sauces, and the taste and presentation is also important," Karolina Exposito said. "You can add a sauce on the side, and it really changes the taste of the food."
For lunch, Roosters serves soups, salads and sandwiches, along with an entree of the day.
I opted for the entree, which started with a salad loaded with fruit, walnuts and in-house sweet vidalia dressing, and ended with bacon-jack crusted chicken with roasted yellow squash, served over green chili potatoes and accompanied with a jalapeno cream sauce, a spicy testament to Tanner Exposito's penchant for sauces.
I wasn't the only one charmed by the dish.
"I usually get the entrees, because they have exciting flavors and the quality is better than most places," said customer Lesandra Potello. "You can tell it's really fresh, as well."
Although she and Potello were sharing the chicken on Monday, patron Kristin Wylie tends to go for the basics. "I always get a soup, because they're amazing," Wylie said.
Karolina Exposito is in charge of baking, a skill she picked up from her grandmother while growing up in Poland; she hopes to reflect her Polish roots in future dessert offerings.
In addition to breakfast and lunch, Roosters serves dinner once a month by reservation only, featuring a menu that ventures more toward the fine dining fare that Tanner loves to prepare.
"We always try to have a surprise for the customer," Karolina said.

Delicate diplomacy: Pope meets Argentine president
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis' diplomatic skills were on display Monday during his inaugural audience with a visiting head of state as he met with his political nemesis, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, and was asked to intervene in the dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands.
It was a baptism by fire, given that the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires has been on record as saying Britain "usurped" the remote islands from Argentina and in 2012 paid homage to the Argentines who were killed trying "to reclaim what is theirs for the fatherland."
Argentina and Britain fought a 1982 war over the islands, which Argentina calls Malvinas. Earlier this month, the islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain a British Overseas Territory.
There was no indication that Francis, now pope, would take up the request from Fernandez, with whom he has clashed for years over her populist policies on gay marriage and other hot-button issues like birth control that will soon confront Francis on a global scale as leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
Francis may well map out some of his own priorities in his installation Mass today, which about 130 government delegations and scores of Jewish, Orthodox and other Christian representatives will attend. Italian news reports say civil protection officials are gearing up for as many as 1 million people to flock to the event.
There was no immediate comment from the Vatican as to whether the Argentine-born Francis would accept Fernandez's intervention request, which was made during a meeting and luncheon at the Vatican hotel where Francis has been staying since his election last week.
The British Foreign Office, however, made clear it didn't expect any Vatican intervention in the dispute.
"The Holy See is clear that it considers the question of the Falkland Islands as a bilateral one between sovereign nations, and that it does not have a role to play. We do not expect that position to change," it said in a statement.
As leader of Argentina's Catholics, Francis had accused Fernandez's populist government of demagoguery, while she called his opposition to gay adoptions reminiscent of the Middle Ages and the Inquisition.

No customers!
Surface RT and Surface Pro will sell some 5-10 million unites in its first year. This $3-6 billions are fresh and new for MSFt, and MSFt is launching 3-4 new Surfaces int he coming year, in different sizes and different colors and different designes. Wake up!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Surface Pro is awesome. IMO, the surface is a bit pricey but otherwise it is ok. It is a new and small part of biz. MS is big company but bears want to focus on Win 8 start button or surface. Big deal. Surface is tiny part of MS. It is very early in the game. Wait till Haswell comes out and MS stuffs it in their tablet because it will be UL power and will run a tab all day with Intel quad core power.Then what will Apple do with their whimpy processor.
Sentiment: Buy
msft makes money from Offcie, Servers and Tools, and then more money from Operation systems. Much of their softwares sales are now on long term basis, and the company will be making $5-8 billionsof net profit each and every quater.
Surface RT and Surface Pro are brand new business, and last year was zero. Even if they sell 2-3 millions of them, they will still have some $2 billions of fresh new reveneu over the 1st 2 quaters. All these will be new and are based on 2 products and for the first 2 quaters. This will be an outstanding achievements, regardless of who thinks of what!!!!
MSft getting into harwares, everyone better listen and listen up!!!!
I could buy two iPad Minis for the price of one Surface.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
That's because the Surface is an all in one use powerful device while the itoy is only good for one thing playing games.
What level of loss will MSFT declare for this quarter?

European Day of Jewish Culture—Today!
If you're in Europe today -- Sept. 29 -- chances are that there are Jewish cultural events going on for you to visit.
Today marks the annual European Day of Jewish Culture, a pan-Europe festival that this year, with hundreds of events taking place in two dozen countries. The Day usually takes place the first Sunday of September, but was move to the end of the month because of the timing of this year's High Holidays.
Many synagogues, Jewish cemteries and other Jewish heritage sites are open, and there are concerts, exhibits, lectures, food and wine tastings, guided tours, and more.
Depending on financial support, volunteers, local organization and other factors, some countries boast a dizzying array of events -- in Italy, arguably the most enthusiastic participant in the Day, there are events in about 60 towns, cities and villages up and down the peninsula, with Italy's president taking part in kick-off ceremonies in Naples.
In other countries there may be a few events, or even just a token event or so. I'm in Poland just now and -- despite the wealth of Jewish cultural events that go on all over Poland throughout the year -- there are only a couple of events, in Krakow, listed in the Culture Day program.
The first full edition of the European Day of Jewish Culture took place in 2000. It grew out of a 1999 conference in Paris on managing Jewish heritage in Europe. One of the presentations there was on a local "open doors" to Jewish heritage initiative in the French region of Alsace begun in 1996 as a partnership between the local tourist authority and B'nai B'rith.
After the conference, meeting of experts and activists, which I attended, decided to expand this model on a European level.
The EDJC is loosely coordinated by the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ), a body formed now by B'nai B'rith Europe, the Red de Juderias de Espana-Caminos de Sefarad, and the European Council of Jewish Communities.
Each year the Day has a theme -- this year's it's Jewish Heritage & Nature. The web site puts it: "This topic gives us food for thought – is there a link, and if yes what is it between these categories, what is the interaction between them? In order to find the answers to these questions it is necessary to look for arguments and examples and define a concept for the link between them."
This year's country participants include:
Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom

Why traffic cameras are making money | Federal Way letters
On the subject of traffic cameras, I was interested to read your recent article indicating that it was netting a whopping profit for the city of Federal Way.
I was passing by Twin Lakes Elementary School a few months back, carefully observing my speed because I knew those pesky little cameras had a bead on me. When I saw the "Resume Normal Speed" sign, I audaciously accelerated to 26 mph. But, alas, a few feet too soon for the automated camera. A few days later I got a notice in the mail from somewhere in Arizona with a bill for $210.
No surprise the profits are rolling in!
Tim Spencer, Federal Way

Vampires and werewolves breaking hearts, zombies overtaking the world, and the Brothers Grimm solving mysteries, the undead and mythological beings from the near and distance past permeate twenty-first century popular culture. What drives human beings to cling to such figures? What purpose do these tales serve? This symposium seeks to explore the development and dissemination of archetypal figures and debates surrounding the construction of monsters and myths. As the characters above suggest, these monsters and myths can cross borders, spaces, and time in a global exchange of folklore. Thus, what are the foundational archetypes from Europe and beyond, and, why, once in the "new world" do these myths and monsters persist throughout time?
To continue this discussion, the University of Florida's History Graduate Society invites paper and panel proposals for an interdisciplinary symposium on the construction of monsters and myths throughout the world and across time. We welcome submissions from any discipline in the humanities and social sciences. Paper proposals should be 150-200 words and include a brief bio of the author. Panels should include abstracts for each paper, again no more than 200 words, bios for each presenter, and a cover sheet stating the title of the panel and its format. Abstracts and bios are due by 24 February 2012. Please e-mail abstracts and bios to firstname.lastname@example.com. Applicants will be notified before 12 March 2012 if their paper/panel has been accepted. Please send paper proposals (200 words)and a short bio to email@example.com. Deadline for proposals is March 2, 2012. Accepted presenters will be notified by March 12.
