This review is from: PowerA Mini Pro Elite Wireless PS3
Pros: The small design is perfect for smaller hands. The stick positions are more like a 360. It looks cool. The lights on the controller are default off and can be turned on and off. Feels solid.
Cons: Battery in the thing was dead on arrival and has never charged. Few other online reviews have similar stories. It can be used if it's plugged into a USB port (any usb port, doesn't need to be the PS3.) The wireless dongle is required to be plugged into the PS3. It can't wake the PS3 with the home button press like an official controller.
Other Thoughts: I bought this from a local B&M and all I can say is it works with a lot of ifs and not at all as advertised. Two stars because it kind of works. Will update this review or post a new one if swapping batteries is possible.
The controller indicators flash while "charging" and not designated as in use.
This review is from: Aluratek "Libre" E-Book Reader Pro with 5" Display, White
Pros: > Crisp Screen
> No page turn flashing
> Large Book format support
> Read and listen to music at the same time
> Responsive page turns
> Buttons are solid
> When viewing pictures, they are gray scaled very well
> Gif support includes animated gifs, (don't expect super fast gifs or large gifs to change frames at the same speed as your desktop)
> Ok audio quality, worth not using 2 devices while reading & listening to music
> 5 eggs because it works exactly as described in the specs and is a solid non-e-ink reader.
Cons: > Features are now lacking compared to similarly priced e-readers.
Other Thoughts: With recent price cuts with the Kindle and Nook I can not recommend this product. At the time of my purchase the Kindle and Nook were much higher in price and the lacking features warranted the price difference. Now the Kindle and Nook can be had for a similar price with the added features of WiFi, 3G (some models), book reading, direct access to online stores, web access, etc.
If the price of this e-reader drops below $100 it will be a eliminate my 1 con since its features and price will be comparable to other popular e-readers.
This review is from: Aluratek Cinepal 8.9" 4GB All-in-one Personal Media Player, Black
Pros: > I am surprised by the screen quality.
> Video playback is awesome. I haven't needed to re-encode any video to play on this. That includes an h.264 1080p Blu-ray rip.
> Video playback is completely smooth (no skipped frames or jumping)
> Battery life is as advertised. 3 hours video, 5 hours displaying pictures, (haven't used it to play music).
> Storage access is unparalleled for a PMP: reads USB hard drives and flash drives using FAT32 or NTFS and has the SDHC slot
> The included remote is solid and has a very decent range. Includes all the buttons that are on the device.
Cons: > Poor audio support: It only supports mp3 and wma. A lot of high definition content is encoded in ACC which means the audio for some videos wont play. Re-encoding the audio to mp3/wma is required (can be done quickly on most machines).
> Poor reader format support. This thing only supports *.txt for e-reading. Not a huge con to me since I have an e-reader (from Aluratek hmmm).
> Canned backgrounds: can't set a custom background for the menus. You choose from 10 themes that are preloaded.
> Buttons on the unit feel cheap and poorly laid out. It takes some getting use to but they can be navigated by touch and are responsive.
Other Thoughts: I bought this to read comics in full color without needing to zoom and pan to read. All e-paper reads are b/w and require some amount of zooming and panning to read on their smaller screens. Turned out to be way more functional than I expected.
The only real con out of my list is the audio format support. Most h.264 videos generally use ACC as the audio format. If the audio support expands in a future firmware update I'll be 100% satisfied with this product and update this review.
I want to take this space to emphasize the NTFS file format support. Many SDHC, USB Hard Drives, and USB flash drives are preformatted to be FAT32. This puts a 4 gig limit on a single files size. The blu-ray rip I mentioned takes up nearly 9 gigs in a single video file. The NTFS supports file sizes of 16 Terabytes so you will not need to chop up high definition movies to make them playable!!!

Political relations
The Federal Republic of Germany established diplomatic relations with Zimbabwe immediately after the country gained independence in 1980. Since then, Zimbabwe has been rule by Robert Mugabe. During the first 15 years of Mugabe's rule, Germany became a highly regarded economic partner of Zimbabwe and a supporter of the country's reconstruction. This changed with the illegal farm occupations in the late 1990s, the human rights violations, the politically motivated violence during the 2002 presidential election and the increasing disregard for law and order. In 2002, the European Union imposed targeted restrictive measures against those bearing the main responsibility in government and the ruling party (the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front), such as the refusal to grant visas and the freezing of foreign accounts as well as an arms embargo. Economic sanctions were not, however, imposed on the country as a whole. These EU sanctions have been repeatedly extended since 2004, and in some cases actually tightened (for example in July 2008, following the manipulated elections and the wave of terror) and have been gradually eased again since spring 2012. In February 2014, all the measures were suspended, except for the arms embargo, the travel ban against President Mugabe and his wife Grace and the sanctions on the company Zimbabwe Defence Industries. However, both ZANU-PF and Mugabe himself continue to blame the sanctions for the country's economic decline over the past 20 years. This criticism is also levelled against Germany. The clear words that Federal Chancellor Merkel addressed to President Mugabe during the EU-Africa summit in Lisbon in December 2007 led to a further cooling off in bilateral relations. Germany is also reproached for not recognising as fair the heavily manipulated parliamentary and presidential elections of 31 July 2013.
Conversely, the Zimbabwean opposition sees Germany as a preferred partner in its plans for the political and economic reconstruction of the country. The formation of a coalition government under Prime Minister Tsvangirai in February 2009 led to an intensification of contacts. Since the July 2013 elections and the formation of a ZANU government with a two-third majority in Parliament, even some of the ministers who are ZANU-PF members have shown interest in resuming talks and improving bilateral relations. So far, however, they have been unable to prevail in the deeply divided ZANU, and in particular against the now 90-year-old Robert Mugabe.
While high-level contacts have so far been confined to visits to Germany by important representatives of Zimbabwe's reform forces, including that by Prime Minister Tsvangirai in 2009, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Dirk Niebel travelled to Harare in early December 2012, the first visit there by a high-ranking member of government after a long interruption of contacts. Earlier, there had been political contacts at the level of parliamentary delegations, with the German side clearing expressing its desire to fully normalise and resume the excellent relations that had existed in the 1980s and '90s, provided that Zimbabwe's re-democratisation process is successfully completed.
Economic relations
Zimbabwe is still in the midst of an economic and social crisis, largely due to misguided government policy. Between 1998 and 2008, the economy shrank by more than 50 per cent, though the situation has since stabilised, with economic growth of 4.4 per cent in 2012, thanks largely due to the revival of the country's mining sector (gold, platinum and diamonds). In an economic climate that was characterised until the spring of 2009 by hyperinflation, a shortage of foreign exchange and import restrictions, production and investment declined and more and more businesses were forced to close down. Foreign investors are still deterred by the lack of legal certainty and the failure to protect property rights.
Despite this difficult climate, Germany remains a major trading partner of Zimbabwe's, although the economic and social crisis has meant that bilateral trade lags way behind its potential and investment has practically come to a standstill.
In 2011, Zimbabwe exported to Germany goods worth EUR 43.3 million and imported from Germany goods worth EUR 49.3 million. German investors are engaged in the following sectors: mining, agriculture (tobacco production, floriculture), tourism, timber processing and textiles.
A bilateral investment protection agreement entered force on 14 April 2000. Its implementation remains difficult, especially in the agricultural sector, in the face of political intervention by Zimbabwean government agencies, which often fail to protect foreign farms, too, from illegal land occupations. Since the interim government was formed in February 2009, there has been renewed German interest in investment, but xenophobic legislation to 'indigenise' the country's economy and the lack of transparency in its implementation are putting investors off.
The German-Zimbabwean Air Transport Agreement entered into force in November 1999. However, Lufthansa ceased operating flights to Harare in November 2000, instead providing flight connections to Germany via Johannesburg through cooperation and code sharing with South African Airways.
A double taxation accord is in place between Germany and Zimbabwe.
Development cooperation and humanitarian aid
Owing to political developments in Zimbabwe (human rights violations, undermining of the rule of law, lack of a pro-development economic policy and farm occupations and expropriations), no further commitments have been made in development cooperation since 2000. Official German bilateral development cooperation with Zimbabwe was suspended at the end of June 2002. Since then, the only projects being supported are those implemented by civil society players with the help of a development fund. By providing humanitarian aid and emergency and transitional relief (food, medicine, etc.) to Zimbabwe's population, the Federal Government sought, at the height of the general crisis, to alleviate the distress caused by misguided policies.
Development cooperation with Zimbabwe commenced immediately after the country gained independence in 1980. Since then, Zimbabwe has received a total of some EUR 1 billion in bilateral and multilateral development aid. Financial Cooperation (FC), consisting primarily of loans granted on World Bank terms, accounted for approximately EUR 410 million of this sum. Advisory services worth a total of some EUR 128 million were provided as part of Technical Cooperation (TC, mainly by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – GIZ). The focus was on development of the communal lands inhabited by the poorer rural population, encompassing irrigation, the construction of small dams, the maintenance and extension of rural roadways and sanitation. Other important areas of cooperation were education and the private sector, rural development and support for Zimbabwean non-governmental organisations. The GIZ is also active in Zimbabwe in the framework of the Civil Peace Service.
While official development cooperation with Zimbabwe remains suspended, Germany has, since 2009, supported humanitarian measures as part of transitional aid coordinated with other donors, as well as measures designed to strengthen democracy and the rule of law. Despite the above-mentioned restrictions, Germany remains one of Zimbabwe's most important donor countries. In 2012, Germany's official development assistance (ODA) payments amounted to EUR 44.1 million (funds disbursed). This puts German development cooperation in the upper midfield compared with other bilateral donors. The United Kingdom and Germany (via the KfW Development Bank) are the biggest contributors to the ZIMFUND (German Financial Cooperation amounting to EUR 20 million), which is managed by the African Development Bank and provides urgent reconstruction assistance in the water and energy supply sectors. The KfW's contribution to the Education Transition Fund (ETF) – the donor investment programme for Zimbabwe's education sector – makes Germany is the biggest donor in this area. Germany also provides transitional aid in the following sectors: education, health care (HIV/AIDS prevention), food security and water supply.
Cultural relations
A cultural agreement concluded between Germany and Zimbabwe in 1996 came into force in 1998. For decades, German cultural activities have focused on the education sector. Since 1980, more than 200 Zimbabweans have been awarded scholarships enabling them to study at German higher education institutions; some 500 Zimbabwean refugees had previously received such scholarships. Every year, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) continues to award a number of scholarships enabling Zimbabweans to pursue post-graduate studies in Germany, as well as so-called 'sur place' scholarships at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare. There is a German Section at the University of Zimbabwe's Department of Modern Languages, where more than 100 students are learning German. Their number has more than doubled in recent years.
The former German Democratic Republic (GDR) also made a significant contribution to the academic training of young Zimbabweans in the ten years that relations existed between the two countries (1980-1990).
Since white settlement of the country under Cecil Rhodes in the years after 1890, numerous members of German Catholic orders have been working in Zimbabwe's schools, making a lasting mark on the country's education system and gaining great respect.
Despite the poor overall political situation, Germany has continued to participate every year in the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA), the Zimbabwe International Film Festival (ZIFF) and the Women's Film Festival, a fact which is greatly appreciated in Zimbabwe.
The Goethe Centre in Harare and the affiliated Zimbabwe-German Society are actively engaged in well-regarded cultural work as well as offering language courses.

Exam overview
The Membership in Restorative Dentistry (MRD) is the only qualification recognised as the end point of training in one of the mono-specialties of restorative dentistry, i.e. endodontics; fixed and removable prosthodontics; periodontics.
After passing this bi-collegiate (RCS and RCPSG) exam, you can apply for a Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCST) in one of the above specialties. If accepted, your name will be added to the specialist list.
- To be eligible to enter the MRD exam candidates must possess a dental qualification which can be registered in the Dentists' Register and to graduates or diplomates in Dental Surgery.
- Entry to the MRD exam is also dependent on evidence of satisfactory completion of three years full-time (or part-time equivalent) recognised specialty training.
Exam format
Candidates must elect to be examined in one of the following disciplines within restorative dentistry:
- endodontics
- periodontics
- prosthodontics
The exam consists of the following components:
- a three-hour written paper with three compulsory questions in the speciality of the candidate's choice
- a three-hour written paper with three out of four questions to be answered in general restorative dentistry
- a 15-minute oral examination based on a 20-minute examination of the clinical records of a patient with a range of general restorative dental problems to cover assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and prognosis
- a similar 15-minute oral examination based on a 20-minute examination of the clinical records of a patient in the candidate's chosen specialty.
- a 30-minute oral examination in which at least half will be in the candidate's chosen specialty
- a 45-minute presentation and oral examination of the case records of four patients treated personally by the candidate. Two must have received general restorative care and the treatment of the other two must emphasise the candidate's chosen specialty.
The general restorative dentistry element of the exam will test the candidate's broad-based understanding of the theory and practice of restorative dentistry set in the context of total patient care. The relevant basic and clinical science will be included. The specialist element of the exam will follow from this broad base.
Candidates are expected to be aware of recent developments in their specialist field.
The level of understanding of the following subjects should be appropriate to a three-year specialist training programme.

Steve Hochstadt: Now the so-called House Freedom Caucus, representing the people who made his job so impossible that Speaker John Boehner announced that he was quitting Congress, who were uncertain that Kevin McCarthy of California was conservative enough, are demanding a Speaker for themselves.
The Speaker and the Pope: Pragmatic Selfishness versus Committed Selflessness
Rosemary Jenkins: Coming from humble beginnings, Boehner forgot the lessons from his youth as he climbed the political ladder—lessons that had taught him about deprivation, adversity, and misery as well as the rewards from hard.
A Misleading Moment of Celebration for a New Surveillance Program
he morning after final passage of the USA Freedom Act, while some foes of mass surveillance were celebrating, Thomas Drake sounded decidedly glum. The new law, he told me, is "a new spy program." It restarts some of the worst aspects of the Patriot Act and further codifies systematic violations of Fourth Amendment rights. Later […]
Open Letter to Congress: Skip Netanyahu's Speech
Marcy Winograd: Please consider vocally supporting the Congressional Black Caucus and President Obama by publicly committing to not attending Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's anticipated March 3, 2015, speech to Capitol Hill lawmakers.
Boehner-Netanyahu vs. Obama and Us
Lila Garrett: It is tempting to rally with righteous indignation behind Obama because he is, after all, our democratically elected President. If he is brushed aside in a decision of this kind, our Constitution, the core of our democracy, is brushed aside with him.
Netanyahu's Speech and the Politics of Iran Policy
Gareth Porter: The current tensions over the Netanyahu speech is just the latest chapter in a long-running drama involving an Israeli strategy to use its political power in the US Congress to tilt US Iran policy in the direction Israel desires.
Did Boehner Pull a Boner?
Ted Vaill: Boehner is desperate to hold onto his Speakership, and he is pandering to the Teabaggers and right wing Republicans in the House (25 of whom recently voted against him to be Speaker) any way he can.
Would Boehner and Netanyahu Treat a White President Like This?
David Love: Like the Republicans and their Tea Party base, Netanyahu has curried favor with his rightwing settler base, thriving on racial scapegoating and division for political gain.
The Great GOP Overreach
Brent Budowsky: There is a GOP distemper in Washington, an overreaching of aggressive tactics against Democrats and an underachievement of success in governing. The result? Obama rises in favorability, Clinton rises against Republicans.
Republicans Win Standoff, Shoot Hostages Anyway
RJ Eskow: Even some other Republicans were appalled. One House member, mixing metaphors as effortlessly as his peers mix martinis, described his fellow Republicans as "lemmings with suicide vests."
The False Allure of Gridlock
Charles Hayes: When ideology becomes immersed in identity and fuses with the notion that we are right simply because of who we are, the process is no longer democratic.
Obama Saving Boehner's Bacon?
Barack Obama: Instead of doubling down on marginalizing Boehner's unreasonableness to secure a House vote on immigration reform, the President threw him a life raft — and emboldened GOP House opposition to all of Obama's domestic priorities.
Republican Impeachment Dreams
Julie Driscoll: We're witnessing much wailing, moaning, rending of garments and gnashing of teeth from the more insane of the right-wingers over what they deem (in their dreams) President Obama's "impeachable offenses."

"They run a man and a cover-four – which means the safeties play a quarter of the field – and then some zone blitz," said Coach Beck. "It's similar to what [Coach Anderson] had done in the past at Utah State and Utah."
Boise State ran a lot of man coverage against BYU's offense, electing to bring down a safety in order to aid in corralling the legs of Taysom Hill and the Cougars running backs. Wisconsin played primarily man coverage in their win over Iowa last week. The same defensive philosophy is expected this week against BYU, with Wisconsin likely bringing down a safety to spy Hill and help stop the run.
"With the man teams, they're able to have a guy for the quarterback to keep an eye on him, which may limit your scramble plays," Coach Beck said. "But it gives you an opportunity to work the pocket and get some of those big chunk plays."
BYU is expecting the Badgers to make the effort of shutting down the run with their front seven, so opening up the passing game might be a key to BYU's offensive success.
"For our offense to be most effective, we gotta extend drives," said Coach Beck. "You know, we have to convert first downs, get the drive going. We feel like once we convert a couple of first downs, the tempo is going to wear teams out. You know, everybody is going to be fresh the first three plays, so it's a matter of getting into those six- and eight-play drives where we feel like we can take an advantage with our tempo. So, obviously that's key for us and not just throwing our defense right back out there."
Defending BYU's tall, fast and experienced receivers will be two cornerbacks Sojourn Shelton and Peniel Jean. Shelton is a 5-foot-9-inch, 172-pound freshman, while Jean is a 5-foot-11-inch, 187-pound redshirt junior.
"They're good, they're fast, they're very sound also," said receiver Mitch Mathews. "To play in the conference they play in you have to be very sound and smart because they play against a lot of good athletes and teams. They're good. They're young but they're good."
Much like what Chris Borland does for Wisconsin's middle linebackers, strong safety Dezman Southward does for the Badger secondary. A 6-foot-2-inch, 210-pound redshirt senior, he was named a preseason third-team all-Big Ten nominee. His performance this season so far may have surpassed that preseason prediction.
"Both of their corners are good cover guys. They do a good job," said Coach Beck. "[Southward], who is their safety, he shows up a lot in the run game and shows up a lot in coverage. They're all good players."
At free safety is 6-foot-1-inch, 206-pound redshirt sophomore Michael Caputo. Caputo and Dezman are very good run-stuffers according to the scouting reports.
"They're big and they're going to be able to stop the run pretty well," said Mathews. "They're physical, so we have to be able to pass the ball and throw it up and do what we've been doing these past few games with our receivers [which] is get open and give Taysom some good routes to throw to."
The trend of up-tempo offenses hasn't fully hit the Big Ten conference as of yet, so it will be interesting to see how Wisconsin handles and adjusts to BYU's quick tempo.
"In general with man teams you're going to get bigger plays, but you're also going to have more low-yardage plays," said Coach Beck. "That's why they do it. They're able to get an extra guy in the box to kind of hold you to smaller plays and more incompletions versus being able to get bigger chunk plays. So, it's kind of good and bad. You can get some bigger chunk plays, but at the same time you face a few more low-yardage plays. It's a matter of getting more of your fair share and getting as many as you can."
This could give Cougar receivers Cody Hoffman, Mitch Mathews and Ross Apo an opportunity to shine on the big stage in man coverage.
"When you have a one-on-one matchup, you feel like, 'Hey, this is a guy that's going to win,'" said Coach Beck in reference to Hoffman. "When anytime you have an opportunity to get him the ball, he's going to make a play for you, so that is definitely kind of a security blanket for the quarterback to feel comfortable with.
"You know, I think Skyler [Ridley] has really developed his way into that. He's been a really dependable guy, and Mitch and Ross both the last few weeks have been doing the same. It's good to see that out of the receivers. The more those guys make plays, the more confidence you have and the more you feel you can depend on them."

Butterball apparently has a big fat mystery on its hands: The company says it doesn't know why some of its turkeys wouldn't plump up in time for Thanksgiving this year.
CEO Rod Brenneman says in an interview with the AP that it's the first time it happened and that the company is investigating what went wrong. Butterball had announced last week that it will have a limited supply of large, fresh turkeys that are 16 pounds or heavier for the holidays.
"It's a really good question. We don't have an answer yet," Brenneman said when asked about the cause. But he noted that turkeys are "biological creatures" subject to a variety of factors.
"For whatever reason, they just didn't gain quite as well this year," he said.
Like many other turkey producers, Butterball feeds its birds antibiotics to prevent and treat illnesses, which can occur from living in cramped quarters. The use of antibiotics, which also promote growth in livestock, has been the subject of concern that it could lead to antibiotic-resistant germs.
Butterball, a privately held company based in Garner, N.C., declined to say whether it made any changes to its feed formula this year. But the problem seems to have come up rather recently.
For much of the year, Butterball produces turkeys that are frozen and stored until they're ready to be sold for the holidays. But then in October and November, it shifts into production for fresh turkeys. And that's when the company ran into problems with the turkeys not gaining enough weight, Brenneman said.
It hasn't been an issue for some other poultry producers.
"The weather was great, so the turkeys were a little bigger," said Theo Weening, the global meat buyer for Whole Foods Market, which is based in Austin, Texas. The grocer works with smaller suppliers from around the country to sell turkeys that haven't been treated with antibiotics.
Over at meat producer Cargill, spokesman Michael Martin says in an email that the company has never had a problem where its birds didn't put on enough weight to produce an adequate supply of large turkeys.
Mark Kastel, founder of The Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-based group that advocates for organic farming, noted that major poultry producers tightly control production factors, making Butterball's shortage unusual.
"I thought that was very mysterious. I could not think of a rational explanation," Kastel said, suggesting that a change in the feed formula may have been to blame.
Butterball declined to say whether the issue has been resolved or provide details on the extent of its shortage. But Big Y, a supermarket chain based in Springfield, Mass., said in a statement that it had been notified by the company that orders across the country were cut by 50 percent.
Butterball's shortage shouldn't be a problem for most since fresh turkeys only account for about 15 percent of sales, with frozen turkeys accounting for the rest.
Butterball also makes only about one out of every five turkeys eaten on Thanksgiving.

Using an ADXL330 accelerometer with an AVR microcontroller
In this article "Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories" shows us how to interface ADXL330 – a full 3-axis accelerometer – with an AVR microcontroller. The final circuit demostrates the capabilities of this small and nice chip on measuring acceleration and orientation in space. According to Analog Devices :
"It measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration"
The ADXL330 has three analog outputs for XYZ axis and the output voltage corresponds to an acceleration value. That means that if you power the chip with 3V then an output of 1.5V indicates zero g accelaration.
On the final board two leds (one blue and one red) will indicate the acceleration on both directions for each channel. Also the more inclination the board has the more light comes out the led.

Pivotal in the establishment of the Polish extreme metal underground, Behemoth is both a popular and controversial band in their native Poland and around the world. Until the late 1990s, the band played traditional black metal with heathen lyrical content. However with the 1999 release of their fourth studio album Satanica, the band showed their presence in the blackened death metal scene by mixing their own signature style characterized by the drum work of Zbigniew Robert Prominski, multi-layered vocals and Nile-style Middle-Eastern influences with occult and thelemic themes. While the band has been categorized into many sub-genres the band's vocalist, Adam Michal Darski, has expressed displeasure in people trying to label the band. Behemoth formed in 1991 as a trio, starting with raw black metal rehearsal tapes with the most significant one being From the Pagan Vastlands showing the growing potential of the then teenage Adam Darski. From the Pagan Vastlands was released by Pagan Records in 1993 and lead to the composition and recording of Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) the first studio album by Behemoth in 1995 by Pagan Records. Their second studio album Grom has been the most discussed release thus far, due to its many different influences and musical styles, using female vocals as well as acoustic guitars and synthesizers. Two years later, the band recorded a third album, titled Pandemonic Incantations. The reactions of their ever-increasing fanbase and metal media set a new standard for them which lead to the successful album Satanica, on which their black metal sound had evolved into blackened death metal. Following albums releases have proven to be high successful and greatly increased their popularity. Behemoth however may at some point become banned from playing in their native country, Poland. In July 2007 the All-Polish Committee for Defense Against Sects distributed a list of bands that allegedly promote Satanism and murder that should be banned to many Polish officials which Behemoth is on. As of present, the list has not gone into effect, and Behemoth is still allowed to play in Poland freely. However in February 2008 the committee, which cited a bible-tearing incident at a concert in September 2007, had registered an official complaint.

USC offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates is a candidate for the same position with the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
There was intense speculation when USC's disappointing season ended that Bates might be headed back to the NFL. Bates didn't seem comfortable with college coaching, and the Trojans offense, which had nine returning starters from 2008, underachieved most of the season.
Chicago would be a good destination for Bates because he was close to Bears quarterback Jay Cutler when they worked together in Denver.
If Bates does leave, it will be interesting to see which direction coach Pete Carroll might go to fill the vacancy. It's certain to be an appealing job based on USC's talent, and Carroll's assistants are paid well.
Carroll's typical route is to hire someone who's connected to his inner-circle, but after this year's offensive woes he might want to expand his search to include the best available candidates.
Just to inspire some discussion: What about Oregon State's Danny Langsdorf?
Carroll has always had a lot of respect for Mike Riley, and the Beavers (mostly) pro-style offensive scheme -- Riley's creation, though Langsdorf called the plays this year -- isn't that far from the Trojans. Only more creative. And Langsdorf's work with quarterbacks Matt Moore, Lyle Moevao and Sean Canfield has been outstanding.
As for why Langsdorf would leave Corvallis -- other than money -- success at USC likely would line him up more quickly for a head coaching job.
But don't get too worked up, Beavers fans. The odds are long Carroll would go in that direction.

Sneak Peek: Father of the Pride
Pimp My Ride sets the pace as the car-makeover field grows
Have you sniffed exhaust fumes coming from basic cable? The Discovery Channel has Monster Garage and American Hot Rod. TLC offers Rides, a hot-rod show with Jason Priestley. Testosterone-fueled Spike TV, home of Ride with Funkmaster Flex and Car and Driver Television, calls this a month of Motor May-Hem. Man, that's a lotta vroom-vroom.
But even if you care more about looks than horsepower, there's something in this trend for you. MTV's Pimp My Ride (Sundays at 9:30 p.m. ET) and TLC's Overhaulin' (Tuesdays at 9 p.m.) are basically automotive versions of Extreme Makeover. Rap star Xzibit hosts the entertaining Pimp, in which a creative crew of customizers turns junky old cars into flashy, accessory-packed funmobiles. Xzibit joshes enjoyably with the owners about the unsightliness of their vehicles, and the makeover team is naturally funny in the manner of David Letterman's stagehands. In fact, everything's a kick on this half-hour show, starting with the Superfly-style opening theme. Unfortunately, the hour-long Overhaulin' is padded with typical reality-show nonsense. The cars undergo a secret transformation after TLC tricksters take them away from their owners under false pretenses. As the makeover slowly progresses, bland cohosts Chris Jacobs and Courtney Hansen keep telling us how hard everybody's working.
Ride with Funkmaster Flex (Sundays at 8 p.m.) involves the engaging hip-hop deejay in vapid chats with celebs (not that Tyra Banks and Mariah Carey aren't nice to look at). But it also features some cool makeovers, like the one that turned a busted-out '76 Ford Gran Torino into a Starsky & Hutch special.
FOX (Sun., May 16, 8:30 p.m. ET)
It's the 150th episode (airing at a special time), and those '70s kids are having another of their basement bull sessions. "Half the people in this room ought to be in magazines," Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) remarks. Yeah, like Modern Maturity.
Maybe this sitcom should have retired gracefully last spring when the Wisconsin gang finally graduated from high school, but the sixth season ends in a way that will pique your interest. The two-part closer (May 19, 8-9 p.m.) leads up to the wedding of childhood friends Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) and...well, let's just say feet get cold. After all the silly jokes, you may find you care more about these characters than you realized.
Helter Skelter (CBS, May 16, 8 p.m. ET) Jeremy Davies (Solaris) stars as Charles Manson in this new, 3-hour account of the Tate-LaBianca murders, which got a 4-hour treatment in 1976.
The Practice (ABC, May 16, 10 p.m. ET) Call it an adjournment. Though creator David E. Kelley has at least one spin-off in the works, this episode marks the end of the series as we know it.
Colonial House (PBS, May 17-18, 8 p.m. ET) Modern folks try to live 17th-century style on the rugged Maine coast in this reality adventure, which concludes May 24-25.
Superstar USA (WB, May 17, 9 p.m. ET) Who'll be the next William Hung? Catch the debut of this American Idol spoof, where no-talents are led to think they're hot stuff. Ooh, that's mean.
Daytime Emmys (NBC, May 21, 9 p.m. U) If The View and The Wayne Brady Show tie again for best talk show, there may be sudden-death overtime.
One of the most ambitious series that will premiere this fall is NBC's Father of the Pride, a CGI-animated comedy from the makers of Shrek about a family of lions who star in Siegfried & Roy's Las Vegas revue. Here's a quick scouting report.
THE BACKSTORY Dream Works SKG cofounder Jeffrey Katzenberg got the idea for the series after attending one of Siegfried & Roy's shows. "I was day-dreaming and started thinking, 'What must it be like to live the lives of these animals that perform and live at the Mirage?'" he says. "It's an amazing world they've built."
THE PREMISE The series revolves around Larry (voiced by John Goodman), a down-to-earth lion living with his wife, Kate (Cheryl Hines), their two kids and Kate's father, Sarmoti (Carl Reiner), a veteran performer with a mane toupee and a strong dislike for his son-in-law. Guest voices will include Lisa Kudrow, Danny DeVito and Eddie Murphy as Shrek's donkey. Siegfried and Roy, who are co-executive producers on the project, appear as themselves. "When they saw their characters onscreen, they cracked up," says Katzenberg. Adds co-creator Jonathan Graff: "They're relentlessly positive characters. They're kind of like super-heroes for us."
THE DRAMA BEHIND THE SCENES Katzenberg says he believes the show, which was put into a holding pattern when Roy was mauled by one of his tigers last October, has actually helped the lion tamer with his recovery. "For Roy, who was going through physical rehab," says Katzenberg, "the show made him very, very focused and very ambitious. This is a way for [Siegfried and Roy] to carry on."

Listen to free advance stream of new Civil Wars album
The Civil Wars' much-anticipated self-titled sophomore album will be released Tuesday, but fans can take a free advance listen via iTunes at this link now. One of the most buzz-generating new groups of the past few years, Joy Williams and John Paul White dazzled critics and audiences alike with the stark, haunting and beautiful vocal harmonies from their 2011 debut, "Barton Hollow." Two Grammy Awards and a high-profile spot on the "Hunger Games" soundtrack later and the duo seemed on top of the music world. But it all seemed to crash down with the abrupt cancellation of a European tour and a quickly announced extended hiatus due to "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition."
White and Williams still aren't talking to each other, but they did manage to harness the emotion from the split as they created this new album. We'll have a full review on Tap Milwaukee Tuesday afternoon. But, for now, you can explore the beautiful, yet heartbreaking results of The Civil Wars' own internal discord that is discussed by Williams in this extended NPR interview from today and also captured in the short behind-the-scenes video below from the making of the album's song, "The One That Got Away." »Read Full Blog Post
Joyce's 'Dubliners' worth celebrating 100 years later
On Sept. 11, 1912, the 30-year-old James Joyce received word from his would-be Irish publisher that the proofs for "Dubliners," a collection of 15 short stories he had been trying to get published for seven years, had been destroyed by "guillotining and pulping" them.
Then living in Trieste, Joyce was visiting his native Dublin when he heard this latest edition of what had become old news: Even initially willing publishers ultimately balked at printing a book that hinted at sex, insulted the Irish and took on the Catholic Church. Along with his wife and two children, Joyce left that night for Europe. He would never return to Ireland, convinced it was trying to "weary me out and if possible strangle me once and for all." »Read Full Article

Fantasy novelists Kowal, Addison to visit Boswell
Fantasy writers Mary Robinette Kowal and Katherine Addison will make a joint appearance at 3 p.m. June 22 at Boswell Book Company, 2559 N. Downer Ave. In a question-and-answer session with Milwaukee Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins, Kowal and Addison will talk about their recent novels and other topics.
Kowal's new novel, "Valour and Vanity" (Tor), continues a magical series inspired by the life and writing of Jane Austen. Jane Ellsworth, Kowal's Austen-inspired heroine, lives the kind of British Regency-era life an Austen character might have — but she's also a glamourist, a professional magician who creates illusions by manipulating strands of the ether, that mysterious medium people once thought filled the air. »Read Full Article
Optimist Theatre brings free Shakespeare outdoors with 'Tale'
Move over, Desdemona. You may be the most famous Shakespearean woman done in by a jealous man, but you're a lightweight compared to Queen Hermione, whose madly jealous husband, King Leontes, wrongly accuses her of sleeping with his best friend, King Polixenes, in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale."
Or at least that's the case when Hermione is embodied by the likes of Beth Mulkerron, whose Hermione combines the youthful innocence and beauty everyone in this play can see with a backbone making clear she's no pushover. »Read Full Article

Listening to Lou Reed: 'The Creation of the Universe'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
I approached "The Creation of the Universe" (2008) from Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio warily, the way W.C. Fields approached Philadelphia. If listening to a single CD's worth (64 minutes) of the original "Metal Machine Music" was an ordeal (and it was), how much more taxing would auditing nearly 111 minutes of Lou's electronic mayhem be? »Read Full Blog Post
Kara Walker's 'Marvelous Sugar Baby' disturbing
Brooklyn, N.Y. — Would you like cream and iniquity with that? A dash of degradation? Or do you take it black?

From parklet to fire pits, a guide to patio dining in Milwaukee
Cooler near the lake, indeed.
Days this spring have been extraordinarily beautiful, warm and sunny, and patios have been predictably swarmed. Some days, that is.
