Shiley will not host Pickin' next year
September 20, 2013
MARTINSBURG — After suffering significant revenue loss, Shiley Acres has decided not to host Pickin' in the Panhandle in 2014....
That's great..because it sucked. News flash...those bbq teams were 80% of the people there. The staff was unfriendly, the costs were outrageous. I paid $45 so I could just look at the craft vendors. Ended up getting nachos and a lemonade in a $5 refillable cup only to be told I could not take it back to my site. We had 2 1930's portapotty's for easily 30+ teams. The awards were in a tent where you couldn't hear the person reading the results. I don't even like Kelly Pickler....didn't give 2 craps about seeing her. Sorry to say CVB may have screwed themselves for next year....who wants to come back? And as for the missing revenue...perhaps if they had not been dicks about letting us in they would have made more money. Ps....mayne if u put up some actual signs telling people where the place was instead of Jim Bob driving his 1974 chevy with an electronic sign around the lot where we already were. Put blame where it is due.....in your pocket Shiley Acres. Dont blame us because u suck.

Wonder how much the county will make off of DUI's stemming from this and the biker event downtown just the week or 2 before. Kellie Pickler is a known name, but not a Bluegrass star.....maybe get entertainment to come in that is relevant to your event.....

Greg Shiley and Laura Gassler should run for the County Council. They could run on the platform of misdirection. Of course it probably wouldn't change much.

"Neither Gassler nor Shiley would comment on the amount of revenue the CVB and Shiley Acres lost from the 2013 event."
Why won't you comment? Don't want the public to know huh? How many pockets got lined that weekend? Remember the headlines in the Journal printed on the last day of the event, NEW LOCATION GOOD FOR PICKEN. Now we know that was a lie!! Sorry about your luck but that's what you get when you STEAL shows from other places. Hahahaaha

Same thing crossed my mind. If this was sponsored by the tourism bureau, why are fingers being pointed at the locals for staying away. Sounds like Laura at CVB didn't do her job. Not surprised though; she has no qualifications, just connections.

I have a neighbor who runs his own food service business. He was very PO'ed at the way this year's event was run and the resulting abysmal turnout. He figures that by the time all of the bills were paid, they lost about $1000 at Pickin'. Not that his profits had been much in past years, but at least they *had* turned a profit. He probably won't be there in the future... especially if it's at Shiley.

I agree with everyone who stated after so many years of losing revenue why continue. If I had a business that continued to lose money you have to know when to call it quits.

Went to Shiley one time back in the day. All it amounted to was for people to get drunk & act stupid. They apparently still have women (using that loosely) that want to dress half naked. Those kind of actions keep the norm husband & wife away. I don't drink but once or twice a yr, so I have no desire to be around drunk people. I don't want to have sloppy & falling down drunks around me.

Now to actually add my comment to the article...I concur with Ptabler...if this event has been losing money for the last several years don't you think that's enough RED FLAGS to say, "This venue just isn't working"!! I'm not a finance expert by any stretch of the imagination but that's the first thing in the article that jumped out at me!! I've never been to Shiley Acres (have no desire to) but from the sounds of things...it probably should of stayed closed!! I also agree that as much as I like Kellie Pickler...I never knew she sang bluegrass!! So, you bring a country artist to a Bluegrass venue and wonder why it fell flat on it's face! DUH!!

I see the Panhandle troll, I said expert yesterday but that's giving you way too much credit Major, is at it again! I started to post on this story early this morning when I saw you were yet again the first to comment!! Apparently you must work nightshift and are getting paid to troll the Journal and comment on every article. Your employer must be proud! At any rate...why you do you feel you need to comment, no better yet, put down everyone else's comment??

2010 loss - approx. $54k 2011 loss - approx. $143k 2013 loss - approx. $200k
If these losses are real, and nobody is cooking the books - you have to wonder why they didn't quit after 2011.
I've never been there, but I heard plenty of horror stories about how *******y it is and how it is overrun with drunks - no thanks.

That's how business works. You invest an idea, execute it and if you don't get the results that you want, you move on. No big deal. If you want to make money providing live entertainment in this area, study the demographics and make sure that you provide something that will make people turn out and try again.

The desire to sit outside on a lovely day, enjoy whatever bev you like & listen to tunes sounds good. A box to pee in big minus. Music provided wasn't all that hence no ticket purchase & most important your "headliner" didn't stage till sch 9:30p too late shoulda been a done deal by dusk. I say Shiley's should do more homegrown concerts and forget the high dollar stuff. I bet one BM/KIX/DD concert brings more $$ in! just sayin'

My sister and I went there on Saturday, and when I got our tickets I really felt the 45.00 for each ticket was a big steep. We enjoyed the Music, but did wonder why more people were not there. Kellie Pickler had a great show, but that was not the reason we went, since she really is not a "big Star", but we like Bluegrass Music. The only thing I was shocked about was the way a lot of the woman especially, were half dressed and standing in front of the stage dancing like a moron, perhaps drunk/high, so some of us could not see the Bands without standing up all day!!! Also didn't like the way the Beer Sales were handled, since you had to walk some distance to get ID'ed, and then walk another distance to get a Beer. Then later on a guy was selling Beer to the ones watching the Shows, and you didn't need ID??? I thought that was weird. Otherwise had a pretty good time. I can see why they lost money, due to several issues.. Sad for sure.

The reason for lack of support was the venue. A so called bluegrass festival held at Shiley, not that appealing. Then you add in that it become more of a country music event.

I dont quite get it, lack of local support is to blame but the intent is to draw attendance from beyond 50 miles. OK so those folks don't show up and it becomes the locals fault. Sometimes you need to stop pointing fingers and just admit your mistakes.

I thought those initial attendance figures were fishy. It is a Blue Grass event,(Not a pop-country) so why is Pickler the headliner? Ax Pickler and the 50 to 70k that she got, reduce prices and check the attendance. Or just blame the area people, like Shiley. Good riddance Sir!

NILES - During the Mahoning Valley Scrappers annual media day on Saturday, temperatures reached 80 degrees at a sun-drenched Eastwood Field.
Local reporters took advantage of the warm weather and dressed down in shorts. Scrappers players probably would've liked to ditch the required polyester uniforms for their swim trunks.
Not Luis Lugo.

Tribune Chronicle / Michael Taylor
Luis Lugo, of Venezuela, will get the start tonight as the Mahoning Valley Scrappers open their 15th season of play. The Scrappers will face Jamestown at 7:05 p.m.
The 19-year old Barquisimeto, Venezuela-native sported a blue Under Armour long-sleeve turtle neck under his white jersey and nearly shivered as a short breeze came through.
"It's cold, man," Lugo said. "I'm not really used to this yet. In Venezuela, we're used to temperatures over 100 degrees all the time."
For the past two years, he's played at the Cleveland Indians training site in Arizona where an 80-degree day would be welcomed once in a while, too. He'll have to adapt to the new northeast Ohio climate and a jump in competition when he takes the mound tonight at 7:05 as the Scrappers opening day starter against the Jamestown Jammers.
"It was a nice surprise when they told me (I'd be starting)," Lugo said. "There's a lot of good pitchers here. I obviously wanted to get the ball first on the first game, but it feels cool to actually get the chance."
The 6-foot-5, 200-pound left-hander pitched 42 innings last season with 51 strikeouts. He tallied a 2-4 record with a 4.50 ERA. Lugo surrendered just four home runs, walked 21 batters and had one wild pitch.
"He's got good stuff," manager Ted Kubiak said. "It's a very methodical approach. If he can keep the ball down, he's going to be good."
Kubiak went as far as comparing Lugo to former Major League pitcher and five-time World Series champion Andy Pettite.
"That's a great honor," Lugo said. "I'm still young and have a long way to go but that's a great comparison. Pettite had a great career."
Growing up, Lugo was fond of fellow left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson. Currently, his idol is Felix Hernandez, the reigning Cy Young winner with the Seattle Mariners. "King Felix" hails from Valenica, VZ.
"Baseball is huge in Venezuela and it's encouraged to play when you're very little," Lugo said. "I started training to be a professional when I was 14.
"This is what I love to do. I love that this is my job. What can be better than playing professional baseball for a living?"
Tonight begins the 15th season in Scrappers history and the fifth-straight year they've faced the Jammers on opening night. In the offseason, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed a two-year affiliation contract with Jamestown, a former Miami Marlins farm team.
The past two opening day's have averaged 5,275 fans at Eastwood Field. New Scrapper Caleb Hamrick hopes to see that repeated tonight.
"I'm just looking forward to seeing some fans," he said after spending a year in Arizona. "I haven't played in front of fans since high school. I want a big crowd because nothing beats a great baseball atmosphere on a summer night. I want to see my team win with the full feel of the crowd, too."
Hamrick, a 19-year old right hander from Cedar Hill, Texas was an eighth round draft pick in 2012. He looks to get the start on Tuesday.

I would really encourage you to read today's success story, the followup on the Unconquerable Dave (and the original piece done on him, if you haven't seen that). He embodies the true spirit of everything this is about. See how he's not hung up on any numbers and he just goes outside and lifts things and carries them around in "God's gym" and he's zen about it all?
I truly mean this in a loving way: you're coming off as a bit neurotic. It's likely you don't even realize it. Don't worry -- it's nothing that some sunshine, climbing a tree, unplugging, and some yoga won't fix.

Former Salem businessman Raymond G. Isabella, 55, was sentenced to more than five years in federal prison and ordered to repay more than $1.1 million for wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft, federal officials announced.
Isabella, whose address had been listed on Lexington Avenue in Salem, had previously pleaded guilty to one count each of wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft, according to a press release.
Isabella had been a Certified Public Accountant licensed by the State of Ohio, and was the Chief Financial Officer of Intrasee Inc., a privately owned corporation, according to the federal indictment against him.
The indictment alleged that Isabella charged Intrasee excessive accounting fees totaling $335,000 beginning in 2010 and obtained three loans from Huntington Bank in Intrasee's name without permission or authorization from the company's owners, falsely claiming the loans had been signed and approved by the Intrasee owners. The three loans together totaled $1,075,230. The owners discovered what he had been doing in 2011. The indictment came out late last year.
"This defendant abused his position of trust," Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, said in a press release. "Economic crimes and identity theft threaten our nation and we will do everything within our power to stop them."
Stephen D. Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Cleveland office, added in the press release, "The Federal Bureau of Investigation is committed to protecting the viability of our businesses and financial institutions by rooting out fraud and theft."
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew B. Kall, following investigation by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division, and the Avon Police Department.
Isabella could have faced up to 32 years in prison for all the charges in the indictment.
Isabella had been listed as the contact for Isabella & Company CPAs at 2789 E. State St., Suite 7, Salem, a location in the plaza on Cunningham Road across from the Walmart entrance, according to the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce website list of members when he was indicted. Many years ago he had been a member of the firm Arnold and Isabella on East Second Street and had left the area, returning in November 2011, according to a spokesman with the chamber.
According to Avon Lake Municipal Court online records, Isabella was originally charged with theft by Avon Police on Dec. 12, 2011. The case was dismissed Dec. 15, 2011, noting the case was being handled by the FBI. A Salem Police report on Dec. 12, 2011 noted a city police officer stood by while members of the Columbiana County Drug Task Force and Avon Police executed a search warrant at the apartment on Lexington Avenue.

Hot Potato Enceladus
|This unprocessed image was taken during Cassini's close approach to Enceladus on July 14, 2005. Credit: CICLOPS
A researcher at Southwest Research Institute, working with scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on data from the NASA Cassini Saturn orbiter, has found heat leaking out of the south polar region of Saturn's tiny icy moon, Enceladus. This find makes Enceladus only the third place in the solar system, after Earth and Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, where "hot spots" associated with ongoing geological activity have been detected.
The discovery was made with Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), which was built by and is operated from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., under the direction of Principal Investigator Michael Flasar. NASA announced the findings in a July 29 press release.
Enceladus has been a puzzle since the first pictures of it were taken by the Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s. It is only 500 kilometers (300 miles)in diameter — so small that it ought to be cold and dead — yet its surface is torn by innumerable fractures, indicating great geological violence in the relatively recent past. It is also the brightest moon in the solar system, with a surface that is almost pure white, and seems to be the source of a huge ring of dust, called the "E ring," that surrounds Saturn.
On July 14, 2005, Cassini flew a mere 175 km above the surface of Enceladus, returning unprecedented information about this mysterious place. Following plans devised by NASA Goddard scientist John Pearl and SwRI scientist John Spencer, the CIRS instrument scanned the south polar region, measuring the thermal (heat) radiation from the surface at wavelengths between 9 and 16 microns.
|This image shows a dramatic warm spot (shown in the right panel), which is probably a sign of internal heat leaking out, centered on the south pole of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus. The data were taken during the spacecraft's third flyby of the moon on July 14, 2005. The Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer team observed the unexpected hot spot during infrared radiation observations. As shown in the left panel, team members expected the pole to be very cold. Credit: NASA
Though the pole, like Earth's poles, should have been one of the coldest places on Enceladus, at about 75° Kelvin (-324° Fahrenheit), Spencer's analysis of the data found that the south pole was instead the warmest place on the moon, with temperatures in small areas reaching well over 110° K (-261° F) — so "warm" that these temperatures are difficult to explain by solar heating alone. More likely, heat is being generated inside Enceladus and is being released to the surface through fractures near the pole.
"Looking for signs of internal heat on Enceladus was always one of the goals of the CIRS instrument, but it always seemed like a long shot because we couldn't imagine that an object so tiny could produce enough heat to detect," said Spencer, a staff scientist in the SwRI Space Studies Department. "We are amazed that we were actually successful."
Other Cassini instruments discovered a huge cloud of water vapor over the warm south pole, as described in the NASA press release. Cassini's cameras also showed that the south polar region is one of the youngest parts of Enceladus' surface. The water vapor cloud is probably continually supplied by evaporation of the warm ice discovered by CIRS.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL.

I've made the cream of greens soup (fabulous) and eggs benedict salad (also fabulous).
I've got a bunch of stuff I want to try (ummm, how about almost everything!) but I'm making Cardiff Crack next.
So, I made the walnut brownies for the kiddos, the spinach bread, the almond crackers, and the egg salmon salad. All wonderful so far. Hubby and i ate WAY too much of the almond crackers in one sitting. They were scrumptious! I was the only one who liked the brownies, though. So, they are currently in the freezer until I can think of what to add them to. Dh said they were too bitter. Maybe because i just used organic cocoa instead of dutch process. anyone know where to get that kind of cocoa? And, the whole fam loved the spinach bread as the crust for pizza. Anyone else make something from the cookbook?

I have had the chili. With just ground beef. Really good have had it a couple times since.
The Moraccan Chicken. Pretty good. I used way to much mint and lemon.
The hot cocoa. I used really good cocoa powder. Not dutch process. I didn't really like it though. Probably the cooks fault.
I have made one other thing so far. It will come to me.
I have made the coconut pancakes twice. They turned out awesome both times and my non-primal family loved them! I will be "bakin bacon" tomorrow and will grill the steak Mark's way within the week.
I can't wait to try all the rest of the recipes. Sooner rather then later I will make every recipe. Oh, I will make one of the iced drinks very soon!
Find me at aToadontheRoad.com. Cheers!
i made the coconut milk custard. Awesome!
I grok, therefore I am.
I have done the Walnut brownies OMG!!!! Freaking AWESOME. I added espresso powder to mine and the flavor was over the top. also did VERY little sweetner, just some organic raw honey about 1/4 cup for the entire batch and they were OMG so good. Made european triple cream whipped cream for a dollup on the top. heaven.
Gonna try the Coconut milk Ice cream this week, as it is hotter than the firey gates of hell here this week.
I made Cream of Greens Soup last night and it was okay, but kinda bland and boring. I made it with mostly spinach, amd used whole raw milk instead of cream or coconut milk. That was probably my problem.
Fish Patty Cakes came out very well - we will definitely be making them again.
My husband is making Slow-Cooked Chicken in Broth tonight.

re: dutch processed cocoa. Get the Dutch brand (if you can) Droste! I also use Rapunzel (I think) & another in a pale lavender container (organic) & that seems good also. I also want to make that cardiff crack! I made the steak & kidney stew with bison & thought it yummy.
I second the positive comments on coconut flour pancakes; way better than other GF pancake recipes I have made. I also made the "Transylvannian stock pot" (?) and that was outstanding. Note: we used pastured beef sausage instead of keilbasa and we may have accidentally used cayenne instead of paprika because it was fiendishly hot. But with the sour cream in it in the end, it was just right. We also made the shrimp cakes-on-salad thing, which was also a winner.

Spring came in a rush, a tumble of images. A month ago, I saw a bear amble across the back field. It might have been my imagination but he appeared to be sleepwalking, loping along almost in a daze. It was hardly spring, still cold, grass not yet green. But time enough for the bears to come out and we had had some warm days. Peepers chattered from the pond. Then came the daffodils and the grape hyacinths. Forsythia burst out in one day, an exclamation of bright yellow against the still-brown landscape. The mountain still had snow. It built like that. A magnolia I planted about four years ago and which has never bloomed, opened, to my surprise, in big dramatic blossoms of pale yellow, the color of a prom dress. I have no recollection of having bought a yellow magnolia and yet, there it is, finally showing its color.
It was all too early, no conversation went by without that remark. Global warming, climate change — a volcano in Iceland brings the world to a halt, could that be connected? We live now on speculation and superstition as it seems that science has run out of answers. Last week, we had snow, several inches here covered the daffodils and the tiny hyacinths, the greening grass. The new tiny leaves on the maple were weighted with the stuff. The mountain went white again. I heard that up north, there was a foot, the road crews were called out with their plows, and some of the ski hills opened for the day. Why not? Good fresh corn snow. Someone built a snowman with the eyes, nose, mouth in stones, not smiling but turned down in sadness. Sticking out of his arm was a bunch of tulips, freshly picked.
I like late April snow, the new white covering the bright green and brilliant flowers makes for good colors and, besides, it never lasts long. And this one surely didn't. Within a couple of days, not only was the snow gone but I flung open the windows and doors, hoping for a breeze. The needle on the thermometer outside my kitchen window pointed to 90, the daffodils went by (having endured the snow). Last night, I dug the fan out of the closet to move the still, humid air. The magnolia has two dozen large blooms on it, unfazed. And the lilacs are starting to bloom. I could be mistaken but I don't think I've ever seen lilacs in bloom here on the second day of May. Ever. We are a month ahead of ourselves. I love a lingering spring but we will not have it this year. We've spun through the spring like a movie on fast forward. I don't normally plant my garden until Memorial Day, for fear of a late frost. But maybe it's time to readjust my thinking. Change is all around us, even Climate Zones. I'm suddenly feeling I've waited too long to plant. Today, they say, will be another hot and humid day, a summer's day.
The truth is that it was the snow that was normal, not the bursting flowers and the grass that needs mowing. Will the leaves start turning in August?

Terry Prone: Molly Malone is a northsider, so let's battle to bring her over the Liffey
Published 19/07/2013 | 11:30
LAYING down the new Luas line is going to create traffic jams, route diversions – and moving statues.
Two of the latter have to be uprooted to let the line come through: Fr Matthew and Molly Malone.
Now, let's be honest. Fr Matthew is an important part of Ireland's ongoing struggle with drink, but the one we're actually going to miss is Molly. It looks like she'll be gone for about two years.
When she comes back she should be put on the Northside, where she truly belongs. Us Northsiders have always instinctively known that she was one of us, but now, we have the evidence to justify our claim for her to be brought north of the river.
City council officials don't agree and this week it emerged that they've rejected a plan to take Molly across the river. We need a campaign. Now. All Northsiders need to battle this and force the Council to change their decision.
Up to recently, it was believed that the first time Molly's song was sung was towards the end of the nineteenth century. Then, more recently, a book was discovered that had been printed nearly a century earlier, with Molly Malone nestling between its covers. That Molly came from Howth, which would make a lot of sense as a town of origin for a fishmonger, since Howth has been a fishing village since Viking times.
Except that we have to admit Ms Malone may not have been just a fishmonger. Or maybe she was a fishmonger during the day and supplemented her income in other ways at night.
No, I'm not referring to the way the statue has her dressed, which advertises her boobs in a way that would cause a wardrobe malfunction if they weren't cast in bronze.
The eighteenth century book has lyrics that don't waste time on streets broad and narrow, or wheelbarrows or cockles and mussels. Instead, the singer sees Molly in a quite different place.
"I'll roar and I'll moan, my sweet Molly Malone, till I'm bone of your bone and asleep in your bed."
Those are the words of the original song, and we're clearly not talking about a fish supper, here. Somebody came along later on and decided to clean up Molly's act by giving her a different career flogging fish, and it's in that guise she became part of Dublin's traditions. But you have only to look at her statue to know that this was a girl who was overdressed for marketing mackerel.
That's if she existed in the first place, which nobody can prove, one way or the other.
Whether she was mythological or real, a fishmonger, a tart or a double-jobber, the single certainty is that standing opposite Trinity College at the end of Grafton Street has not suited her.
This was a girl who would have felt out of place in such posh surroundings. She was handy to sit beside if you were waiting to meet someone or having a quick take-away sandwich, but she doesn't really belonged there.
This is the time for Northsiders to unite in a campaign to get her back among her real friends. The suggestion the Council shot down was to move her to Moore Street, and it's one that has much merit.
Let's face it, what other part of our capital city has such a tradition of street selling? She'd feel and look right at home there.
If Southsiders want to get shirty about losing her, let's do a swap. They can take the bloody Spire out of O'Connell Street and stick it wherever they'd like to stick it. Us Northsiders never liked that big cold pointy load of nothing in particular. You can't climb it. You can't see out of it. Nobody in their right mind would want their picture taken anywhere near it. The Southside would be welcome to it.
But when that hard-working, mussel-selling, busty girl with the wagon-load of baskets comes out of storage in two years time, let's bring her home to where she belongs – the Northside.

Napa police are investigating whether a man who died after being found engulfed in flames on a pedestrian overpass was the victim of a homicide or took his own life.
Motorists on Highway 29 contacted dispatchers just before 4 a.m. Tuesday to report a man on fire.
Police Capt. Jeff Troendly says firefighters arrived and extinguished the flames. The man, however, was pronounced died at the scene.
The Times-Herald of Vallejo reports that investigators have not identified the man or determined his age or ethnicity.

The long-awaited moment arrived for Chiefs rookies last week when they put on their game-day gear while going up against another opponent for the first time. Some of them played well, while others were a bit shaky and figured out what they need to work on. That is why the NFL has preseason games.
The Kansas City Chiefs survived in a 41-39 win over the Bengals, and the rookies had a hand in helping the team become victorious at Arrowhead Stadium.
How did the draft picks do? And are there any undrafted free agents who could make a push? Find out in this slideshow.

No. As was pointed out by others, the destruction of the proxy object is independent of any relevant security considerations and can't be depended on for secure functioning. > I seem to be unable to refute the above, although I have a strong feeling > that something is wrong in the above observation, I can however not give > any proven example of any attenuation pattern that would result in the > same (or better) security properties as the proxying example where some > objects have a limited lifetime. You don't have to give up proxying with limited lifetime. You just have to tie the termination of the proxy (revocation) to something not as disassociated as the lifetime of some arbitrary object that happens to be part of a delegation chain. You also have to recognize that delegation is a good thing that may be needed for functionality and/or for security (separation of domains for POLA). For example, I start an application program running. I decide that I don't want that program to be able to make any permanent changes to my access control environment. I give it access only to revocable capabilities. At some time in the future I decide that it has done my bidding and I will now revoke all it's capabilities. It or other objects that it has communicated to may or may not still be running. Regardless I have positive control and I allowed any needed delegation to happen. This to me is a demonstration of a more effective approach than using a "no-re-delegate" mechanism with the same "security" values but that also allows necessary re-delegation for functionality with effective domain separation. Just say no to no-re-delegate. I believe those who argue for "no-re-delegate" really feel that they want to stop effective delegation even by proxying, but they don't understand the nature of the Communicating Conspirators problem: http://www.erights.org/elib/capability/conspire.html (I won't address the amplification example since for me it gets into topics that are implementation dependent and a bit too obscure, EQ, etc. However, if others want to spend more time hashing that topic I'll participate as I am able). --Jed

"I would love Britney to have a smash, it would be the greatest comeback ever," the music producer told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Friday.
"I think it would be phenomenal," continued Timbaland, "but I think she's got to be connected with her family. She can't do it alone." (Spears and her mother, Lynne, have had a troubled relationship recently.)
Comparing Spears, 25, to another famous singer, Timbaland added: "Sly can't come back on his own, he needs the family Stones. You need a team. You can't be an island."
On Thursday, MTV confirmed that Spears, whose new album is due out Nov. 13, will perform the Video Music Awards on Sunday, but Timbaland says the hype of her performance may be overblown.
"Britney's cool, but I think that ... it was too much," he says. "Now it's like, 'Okay, Britney's opening, she got a new song.' ...It's kinda dull. It's kinda flat-lined."
As for what he thinks of her new song, "Gimme More," he says: "I haven't heard it but everyone tells me, they just don't say nothing about it."
On the subject of his pal Justin Timberlake, with whom Timbaland collaborated on Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds, the producer says: "Justin is having so much success he could easily say, 'Okay, I want to operate as an island.' But he is easygoing. I'm not saying that [Britney] is not, I don't know. But Justin – we have a different aura together."
Going into the VMAs, Timberlake tied with Beyoncé Knowles to score a leading seven nominations, including a nod for video of the year for his "What Goes Around ... Comes Around."

Seeley's 32 points propel CSF past Southern Utah
RENO, Nev. – D.J. Seeley matched his career high with 32 points and a hot-shooting Cal State Fullerton team erupted for a 112-69 victory over Southern Utah Saturday on the second night of the World Vision Classic at the Lawlor Events Center at the University of Nevada.
The point total matched the sixth best in school history for the Titans (1-2), who made interim head coach Andy Newman a winner in his official debut.
The Titans shot 73 percent (19-of-26) from the floor in the first half including 5 of 7 3-point tries to build a 57-33 halftime lead and they didn't cool off much in the second half (18 of 31 .581) to finish at 64.9 percent overall. For the game they made 12 of 17 3-point tries (.706).
Southern Utah (0-3) committed 31 turnovers with the Titans credited with 20 steals including 7 by Seeley, who also had 7 assists and 4 rebounds.

daaaaamn, those kettles
by jjno3 January 17, 2011
Rural drudges, no class, slovenly, aversive to hard work, dim as a used up bulb. The Kettles were originally a family portrayed in American comic films in the 1940s and '50s (the first was "The Egg And I", portraying life on a chicken / egg farm, the last "The Kettles on Old Macdonald's Farm".) In the first movie, the slow-thinking and lazy Pa and Ma Kettle, with their fifteen children, win a tobacco slogan writing contest and get a modern house with electronic gadgetry they can not fathom. Today, the term is occasionally used to describe an uncouth dufus, a rude lout, someone who completely ignores politeness and common knowledge, someone who might act like an unschooled, ignorant rural clod.
These kettles boarded the plane and proceeded to place their infant in the overhead baggage bin, as he spit tobacco juice on the aisle carpet.

The number of strokes is rising dramatically among younger and middle-aged Americans.
The American Stroke Association reported that between 1994 and 2007, strokes in young women rose 17 percent and 51 percent among men. Researchers suggested the spike could be the result of the rise in obesity in children and young adults.
"It's definitely alarming," said Dr. Ralph Sacco, American Heart Association president and a neurologist at the University of Miami. "We have worried for a while that the increased prevalence of obesity in children and young adults may take its toll in cardiovascular disease and stroke," and that appears to be happening, he said.
Meanwhile, a preliminary study of more than 2,500 people by the Harvard Medical School showed a link between diet soda and an increased risk for stroke and heart attack.
Researchers noted there was a 48 percent increase in heart attack and stroke deaths for people who drank diet soda versus those who drank no soda. Researchers said they don't know why there's a greater risk but speculated it could be because diet soda drinkers are living an unhealthy lifestyle.
There was no increase in people who drank regular soda.

In the last 2 days I have gotten 2 RSVP cards back.
The first one was a single person invite...came back with 8.
The second one was a 2 person invite...came back with 8.
I'm starting to stress out. How can I uninvite people who were never invited in the first place, without offending the invited people?
It would be different if 1) we had room and 2) could afford the extra people.
Should I just not stress and count that everybody won't come? I could see if it were friends or family, I would be 100% fine with that. But the people they are including in all honesty probably wouldn't be able to pick me out off the street.
I don't understand how people are just okay doing this? If I got an invitation that was addressed to DF and I, I would never just invite my cousin and his/her whole family without running it by the couple first.
Am I crazy?

MSA Interview with: Taylor Mcclung
MSA Interview with: Paul Rodriguez
MSA Interview With: Guy Mariano
I meet a lot of skaters every day and end up running into them from time to time out here in Cali. This right here is Addie Fridy from Las Vegas. Addie is one of those skaters you watch in person and love the way they skate and become an instant fan. Read up and learn a little more about him. – S.M.
1. WHO are your current sponsors? Expedition One, Venture Trucks, Supra, Bones Wheels, Stussy LV, Skatecity, Primitive, and Vitamin Water.
2. WHAT feeling do you get when your feet touch your board? It feels great, just being able to step on the board and do whatever you want with it.
3. WHERE do you see yourself in five years? I see myself skating, hopefully traveling the world skating all the sick spots with the homies.
4. WHEN did skateboarding become a part of your life? On my 11th birthday I received a skateboard from my neighbor, and ever since then just never stopped.
5. WHY do Vegas skaters have such a good style? Is it because of the great weather? I don't think the weather is really great, summer is so hot, and winters are so cold. The weather out here is random.
6. HOW does skating in Vegas compare to LA? Vegas skating is sick because it's not that big of a city and the freeways are always clear. LA is amazing though. The perfect weather, parks, and spots.
This Weekend's Interview goes out to Luis Tolentino. Luis is the type of skater that you would want on trips, your team, and just around at all times. He is the type skater that will skate anything that's front of him or any spot that you take him too. He is always cracking jokes and never knows when to stop. Read up and enjoy on what Luis has to say. – S.M.
Follow On Twitter @LuisTolentino
1. WHO is currently killing it in NYC?
Billy mcfeely, Rob Gonyon, Shawn Powers, Benny Guerrra, and Rob Campbell.
2. WHAT is like growing up in such a big city?
It's a blessing because of all the culture's that it has to offer. so many people from all around the world live here and from my point of view I feel that being around all these people and cultures help me be more open minded. Just wanna mention how flushing queens had the worlds fair back in 1939 when they introudced the television. Just a bit of history i found especially intersting since i grew up skating there.
3. WHERE do you skate when winter hits?
I usually come out to cali and chill with felix and homies out there.
4. WHEN did skating become your life?
skating became my life when learned how to ollie.
5. WHY don't you have your own show yet?
It's because I need to step my game up.
6. HOW come you haven't driven that beauty of a car of yours cross country yet?
The reason I haven't driven my car out to cali is because its not ready yet. There are few more things that baby needs for it to be ready for that long jounrey I'm counting the days til that happens. I would love for me to just get in my car and drive for hours without a worry in my mind.
WHO,WHAT,WHERE,WHEN,WHY,HOW: DANPosted by Spanish Mike | Uncategorized | One Comment
This weekend's Interview goes out to our homie Dan Abadi. Dan is one of those skaters who you seen clips of and here and there.

1. WHO do you skate with on the regular?
I skate with PRod,Shane oneil, Torey pudwill, Justin schulte, Carlos Zarazua, gonzo, Chance Elridge.
2. WHAT is the skate click all about?
I started the skate click with my friend manny salazar. He has been in school doing web design and asked me if i wanted to start a site. I would also have random footage that wouldn't make it into videos or guys that would film a good trick and wouldn't be used. For example warm up tricks of Paul, Shane and Torey are still things people want to see. Our main idea was to be able to put out footage that was really good but not good enough for a video part. I would not only film behind the scenes but there warm up tricks before they got their bangers.
3. WHERE is the warm up spot before you go street skating?
The warm up spots don't really exist any more for us haha. We practice at the skatepark during the week or at night before we go straight to the spot and hanlde the trick.
4. WHEN are you going to make a how to nollie crook video?
haha any time someone wants to film me, I can get that handled no problem.
5. WHY haven't the skate click and M.S.A. done a collab yet?
IDK but I feel like big things are going to happen soon, and we both have links going to each others websites for now.
6. HOW do you feel about skating now since you started?
Skating now is defiantly different since I started. When iI started I was strictly a skater looking at skating in only a skateboard prospective. "Get tricks on film and do tricks no one has done yet" Now I look at skating as a way of life. I skate, I film, I shoot photos, edit videos, and just can have fun and make money on what I love and have always loved.
This weekends interview is defiantly a great one. Malcolm Watson is smooth on a skateboard and effortless with his tricks. I haven't personally met Malcolm yet but after receiving the finished interview it really shock the hell out of me. The love and drive that he has for skateboarding is truly a beautiful thing. The freedom and feeling that Malcolm gets from riding a skateboard adds up to why we all do it, Read and enjoy on what Malcolm has to say – S.M.
1. Who were your favorite skaters growing up?
I grew up in a very different generation and era in skateboarding. My favorites growing up were Hosoi of course, Eric Dressen, and The whole Powell peralta team from " The search for animal chin? on down to "Public Domain." Ray Barbee was dancing on his board in "ban this". The Alva team ripped, as well as Dogtown guys. The gonz, and lastly Natas. I also Can't leave out the H street team either. That era will never be duplicated again. It was skateboarding at it purest and rawest form.
2. What motivates you everyday before you go out skating?
My motivation today is that same hunger I had to just wanna go outside and breath in the city on my skateboard back in 1986. It's indescribable, just that feeling you get rolling around is freedom and excitment. My stress relief from everything going on in the world…
3. Where do you skate on the day to day basis?
My daily spots change with the weather. It's all a matter of what I feel like skating when I wake up. Some day's I'll just wanna cruise at a plaza so I'll hip up Lincoln Heights or North Hollywood. If i wanna skate manuel pad's I'll roll to USC blocks or a spot in Gardena. For ledges you can find me at staples, There's really no shortage of spots in LA on and off the radar. It's just a matter of how creative your feeling on that particular day.
4. When are we going to see new Malcolm Watson footage?
I'm constantly filming and working on stuff. Now a days the help of sites like youtube and vimeo along with my skate companies site www.100percentskateboards.com I drop a clip to a mini part once a month. Without the outlet of 411vm or a major project I can still maintain being seen. I wanna drop a mag minute soon though. I'm still working on a few tricks, You know the struggle. Some things worth having don't come easy, but soon enough I'll drop something unexpected like bird poop.
5. Why did you move to New York?
I started moving everything months across the US once my wife became a traveling nurse. We could pick where we wanted to live and all the expenses were paid for so we started moving around the east coast until winter time, then we would roll back to some place warm like california to get through the winter season. We were on the road for a good 3 years until the economy took a dump. Now cali is home but the place i miss the most of all my travles is New York and Vancouver because just of the good people, amazing energy in the streets and raw skateboarding.
6. How does skating make you feel?
Skateboarding is freedom! The business side and industry, political side of it sucks but skateboarding in it's natural form is self medicating. Once you get rid of all the shady fake people involved in it skateboarding is a beautiful thing,Let the good times roll.
"Skateboarding is freedom"
Skateboarders are unique as soon they take there first step on a skateboard. What i realize over time is that each skateboarder makes a difference in there own way. This weekends interview I give you Brad Cromer who i feel like has made an impact in his own way that other skaters can relate to. The way he just does things on a skateboard are like no other and can not be repeated. Read on and enjoy on what Brad has to say. – S.M.
1. Who is pang? See question 2.
2. What is this Lo-Fi video about?
Well this Lo-Fi video is about everything I'd like to see in a skate video. It's all vx video edited by me and filmed by my main man pang. I basically want to see if i can handle putting together a legit video that can be watched the whole through short, sweet, good music, good skateboarding, etc.

6. How do you make everything look so easy when you skate? well…………….. yeah i cant answer that.

PRINCETON — Despite the fact that he has an undergraduate degree in physics, is a Rhodes Scholar, has a law degree, is a constitutional law expert and has already spent the past nine years as Princeton University's provost, Christopher Eisgruber believes it is better for him to have more questions right now than answers.
Eisgruber, 51, was named Princeton University's 20th president last week after an exhaustive, global search that wound up in its own backyard.
He follows Shirley Tilghman, who is stepping down at the end of the academic term after 12 years in office.
A series of challenges face him already, Eisgruber agreed during an interview at his Nassau Hall office. These range from daunting town-gown issues to the role of online college courses, even the value of a liberal arts education in an economy hyper-focused on the bottom line.
So the majority of his first year, Eisgruber said, will be spent in a "listening" posture.
"I've been here at Princeton. But I've been in one kind of office dealing with one kind of issue, and I'm going to be 'out there' a lot more," said Eisgruber. "'Listening tours' is the operative phrase for the year.
"I'm coming at this with a set of questions. Making progress on those is going to require looking forward from where we've been, and recognizing that there are opportunities about, for instance, what we can do to build a civic partnership with town and campus."
That philosophy reflects the kind of from-the-hip approach Eisgruber has often followed in his own life.
As a high-school kid growing up in Indiana and Oregon, Eisgruber was certain he would attend Stanford University. But he ended up at Princeton, graduating with the Class of '83. He came here with an interest in quantum mechanics, but found himself most energized by a course in constitutional law.
He taught at New York University Law School for 11 years, and then moved over to Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He has written several books on the Supreme Court appointments process and religious freedom, but he has spent the better part of the past decade as the university's second-in-command and chief budgetary officer.
Eisgruber said he hopes to have the same open-ended approach to the task ahead of him.
It is a task complicated by a culture that increasingly questions the value of an expensive college education even as it makes succeeding without one less and less likely.
"What I object to is a way of looking at college that just says, 'What is your entry-level salary as you move into your first job?' That's a terrible question to ask," said Eisgruber.
"One of the things I'd like to do is refocus that question on the kinds of returns that do matter. The point of a liberal arts education is to enable students to live a meaningful life, and a meaningful life has lots of parts to it.
"Can you have a career that's satisfying to you? Can you appreciate the set of experiences you go through on a college campus? Do you have a set of resources that will guide you and provide a kind of ethical reservoir for you as you confront dilemmas later on?" he said. "We need to think more expansively about what it is we're preparing for when we go to college."
The announcement of his presidency was greeted enthusiastically on campus. Eisgruber is a well-liked administrator, and a highly successful teacher with more classes on his roster than most college provosts typically take on.
This past fall, he taught a freshman seminar on the Supreme Court and constitutional democracy. He likes the access to professors these seminars give younger students, in an atmosphere free of the presence of upperclassmen.
Eisgruber lives in Princeton with his wife, Lori Martin. Their son is a freshman at Princeton High School.
When not otherwise engaged at the university, Eisgruber said he likes spending time with his family. He described himself as a "huge" baseball fan, whether it's the Cubs, Trenton Thunder, or the university team.
He is also an avid reader of mystery novels and thrillers.
In fact, since his favorite authors, Reginald Hill and Michael Dibdin, have recently passed on, Eisgruber is looking for a few new recommendations.
Sophomore Ray Chao met Eisgruber during a dinner at his eating club last week, and was pleasantly surprised with the new president.
"Provost Eisgruber is a very warm person who is very in touch with the student body," said Chao. "With his background as an alum, a professor and an administrator, he offers the office of the president a unique perspective that encompasses nearly every person at Princeton."
Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert has already reached out to Eisgruber, paving the way for their future cooperation, he said. The town-gown relationship has become strained in recent years during deliberations for the university's new arts and transit neighborhood in the Alexander Street corridor.
Eisgruber said he is reluctant to make pronouncements about the direction those deliberations took. Nevertheless, he said that it was a "challenging" series of conversations.
He believes the town's recent consolidation will make future conversations easier, simply because there will be fewer official entities at the table.
One of the most pressing issues between the university and the town in the coming year will be the payments the university makes to the town in lieu of taxes. That amount was $2.5 million in 2013. Negotiations about increasing that figure are slated for later this year.
"I look forward to working on the town with that," said Eisgruber.
"There are competing interests, but it's very much in our interest to both have a strong civic partnership with the town — where we feel we're benefiting from one another — and to recognize the benefits that the university gets in being part of this community."

From this position, inside the bird's wing motion simulator, we can see many of Leonardo's designs rendered into models. You can move futher into the room by clicking beyond the blue walls. Return to the first room via the arched door beneath the golden sun.
There are five hotlinks in this panorama. Can you find them?

This is a small-scale model of a helicopter built according to Leonardo's specifications. A description of his design, accompanied by several, was found in one of his notebooks, dating from around fourteen ninety. The large central screw-like device was to be about thirteen feet in diameter. Leonardo intended it to be made of reed, and covered with taffeta to make a light, resilient wing.
In the middle years of his life, Leonardo devoted a great of attention to studying flight. He designed several different flying devices. You can see a mode of an airplane he designed, called an ornithopter, in the lobby of the museum.
Leonardo intended that his helicopter be powered by four men. They would run around the central shaft, pushing a bar that would cause the spiral to turn. The helicopter would bore its way through the air like a giant corkscrew. But Leonardo didn't realize that the forward action of the men would just push the floor backwards, so that the craft would stand still.

This book represents the transactions of the first conference on gestation sponsored by the Josiah Macy Jr., Foundation. The members of this conference were anatomists, biochemists, and physiologists, with the exceptions of two obstetricians. The subjects of the conference were the functional role of the placenta, problems of sugar transport in the placenta of the ungulate, and the comparative anatomy and histology of the placental barrier. The book is a superb contribution to basic knowledge on these subjects. The photographs and their reproductions are beautiful. The text is informally edited so that the "give and take" of the discussers is well preserved. This makes for reader interest.
Anyone who has or should have interest in fundamentals having to do with gestation should own a copy of this book.

New Orleans police said Thursday night they have identified two suspects wanted in connection with an attempted home invasion and shooting that left an eastern New Orleans mother in critical condition.
Aranton Johnson, 26, and Brandon Tucker, 25, are wanted for attempted murder, police said, in connection with a June 28 incident in the 7100 block of Restgate Road.
Police said that shortly after 9 p.m., a man stepped outside the house to investigate a barking dog. He told police he was confronted by two men who attempted to force their way into his house. The man said he struggled with the intruders and yelled for his 54-year-old mother, who armed herself and shot at the intruders.
One of the suspects returned fire, striking the woman in the upper body. Her son grabbed the gun that his mother dropped and fired at the intruders, causing them to flee. Police said they later learned that Johnson sustained gunshot wounds to both hands during the altercation.
Police said Johnson and Tucker were developed as the suspected intruders. Authorities ask anyone with information on the men or their whereabouts to contact NOPD's 7th District detectives at 504.658.6077 or Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111.

The Impact of Climate Change: "Climate has changed on all time scales throughout Earth's history. Some aspects of the current climate change are not unusual, but others are. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has reached a record high relative to more than the past half-million years, and has done so at an exceptionally fast rate. Current global temperatures are warmer than they have ever been during at least the past five centuries, probably even for more than a millennium. If warming continues unabated, the resulting climate change within this century would be extremely unusual in geological terms. Another unusual aspect of recent climate change is its cause: past climate changes were natural in origin (see FAQ 6.1), whereas most of the warming of the past 50 years is attributable to human activities." See full text article at IPCC AR4 2007.

"Climate change and forests are intrinsically linked. On the one hand, changes in global climate are already stressing forests through higher mean annual temperatures, altered precipitation patterns and more frequent and extreme weather events. At the same time, forests and the wood they produce trap and store carbon dioxide, playing a major role in mitigating climate change. And on the flip side of the coin, when destroyed or over-harvested and burned, forests can become sources of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. ..."

Agriculture can impact climate change in several ways. To the extent that farming replaces carbon sinks such as forests and grasslands, agriculture can contribute to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For livestock farming, particularly cattle, methane production is a concern – as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Farming methods can influence the extent to which carbon sinks are maintained and the extent to which methane is produced and captured.
"Livestock are produced throughout the world and are a significant contributor to global methane (CH4) emissions. Methane, a greenhouse gas, is produced from the decomposition of livestock manure under anaerobic conditions. These conditions often occur when large numbers of animals are managed in a confined area (e.g., dairy farms, beef feedlots, and swine and poultry farms) where manure is typically stored in large piles or disposed of in lagoons. Nitrous oxide, also a greenhouse gas, is produced during the nitrification-denitrification of nitrogen contained in livestock waste." (Source: CH4 and N2O Emissions from Livestock Manure, IPCC. Last accessed 11/29/2012)

"The impacts of climate change include too little water in some places, too much water in other places, and degraded water quality. Some locations are expected to be subject to all of these conditions during different times of the year. Water cycle changes are expected to continue and to adversely affect energy production and use, human health, transportation, agriculture, and ecosystems."

"... Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, sea surface pH has dropped by about 0.1 pH units (corresponding to a 30% increase in the H ion concentration). The expected continued decrease may lead within a few centuries to an ocean pH estimated to have occurred most recently a few hundred million years before present (Caldeira and Wickett, 2003; Key et al., 2004; Box 7.3, Figure 1).
According to a model experiment based on the IPCC Scenarios 1992a (IS92a) emission scenario, bio-calcification will be reduced by 2100, in particular within the Southern Ocean (Orr et al., 2005), and by 2050 for aragonite-producing organisms (see also Figure 10.24).
