Veteran sports broadcaster Scott Coen is widening his world.
Coen, who has been a reporter with abc40 since 1998, will be expanding on how he reports on sports and adding other features beyond the who, what, where and when.
"I asked to try something new," Coen said. "Luckily, they agreed."
"I will still do sports features, just with a more human interest twist," he said. "I go out and do my own stories. I walk around and talk to people."
"I'll be talking to interesting people about interesting things," Coen said.
Coen mentions one of his most memorable human interest stories.
"I read an article that every spring the springs are stocked with salmon. Six million salmon restock the population. I thought it was interesting."
"When we went down to do the story, there was a fourth-grade elementary school there. They had raised salmon in their class and were releasing them. We tied the story with the kids."
"Five years ago I was looking down the road," Coen said of how he came up with the idea. "I thought it would be tough for the high school kids to relate to a more senior guy."
"I knew I would want to still be anchoring and reporting but I wasn't sure if the kids would want me doing it."
"I don't think I was apprehensive at all. As you grow older, your interests change," he said.
"Twenty years ago, you see the world differently. When you're a parent, you see the world through new eyes."
"It was an easy transfer. I'll still do the Athlete of the Week," Coen added.
Coen admits that he has always been interested in working in sports.
"I knew when I was 12 years old that I wanted to be a sportscaster. I was drawn to the announcers. I have always looked at sports from a cerebral standpoint than blood and sweat," he said.
In addition to reporting for abc40 and Fox 6 WGGB-TV, Coen is a blogger for MassLive.com for the past year and a half.
"We have a lot of interns at the station. I encourage them to start their own blog. I tell them to get out there and learn by doing," Coen said.
"If you want to survive, adapt. Dinosaurs are extinct because they didn't want to come in from the cold."
"It worked out well. I was really happy that my number two guy, Mike Leslie, could step up. I'm grateful to MassLive, I'm grateful to the folks at Channel 40. I hope people will embrace the new things I'm doing."

Utility Solar May Cost Less, But It's Also Worth LessThe content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at https://ilsr.org/utility-solar-may-cost-less-but-its-also-worth-less/
A new report released this week asserts that utility-scale solar is much more economical than small-scale solar. The clear implication is that we should let incumbent utilities build or buy solar from large-scale arrays instead of allowing customers to generate their own power. There are several reasons to seriously question the mistaken assertion that big… Continue reading

After obliterating the NFL record books this season, the New Orleans Saints' offense now is taking over the Pro Bowl, too.
For the first time in franchise history, five offensive players were invited to the annual all-star game, including first-time selections tight end Jimmy Graham and left tackle Jermon Bushrod.
They joined quarterback Drew Brees and guards Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans, thanks to a combination of votes by fans, players and coaches. Graham, Evans and Nicks are starters. No defensive players or special teamers made the team, though alternates have not yet been announced.
"Guys have good seasons if the team's doing well," Bushrod said. "And I just think as a team, we're jelling right now. We just have to keep it up."
The Saints' offense was recognized for its historically prolific performance this season -- led by Brees, who was selected for the fifth time in the past six years.
Brees broke Dan Marino's NFL record for the most passing yards in a single season on Monday night, reaching 5,087 yards with one game to spare. And the entire offense is on pace to break the 2000 St. Louis Rams' NFL record of 7,075 yards in a season, among other marks.
Among the other selections, Graham also was such an obvious choice that a 2-year-old could have made it.
Well, at least one 2-year-old could have.
Brees shared a hilarious -- but very telling -- story about his son Baylen's appreciation for his dad and his go-to tight end Monday night.
"Baylen turns 3 in January," Brees said. "He watches football with me. He says, 'Da-da, are you out there?' 'No, I'm here with you, buddy.' 'Da-da plays football?' 'Yeah.' 'Fleur-de-lis?' 'Yeah.' 'Who dat!' 'Yeah.'
"Then I say, 'Who are you?' He says, 'I'm Jimmy Graham.' ... It's awesome. I tell Jimmy that all the time."
Apparently Graham has been so dominant during this breakout season that he has actually outshined Brees in his own home, or perhaps Baylen just recognizes who his dad's new favorite target is on the field.
'A heck of a compliment'
Either way, it's clear that the Pro Bowl invitation is well-deserved for Graham, who became the Saints' first skill position player selected for the annual all-star game since receiver Joe Horn in 2004.
In just his second NFL season, Graham has put together one of the most prolific seasons by a tight end in NFL history, with 91 catches for 1,213 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"Being selected to represent the NFC team in the Pro Bowl is a tremendous honor," Graham said in a statement released by the team. "If you look around the NFC, you see a ton of amazing and talented players at tight end, and to be thought of in that company by my peers, the head coaches and the fans who follow the NFL is something I take seriously. I think it goes without saying that there are many people to thank -- starting with my position coach, Terry Malone; our offensive coordinator, Pete Carmichael; and Coach (Sean) Payton. None of this would be possible without working with guys like Drew Brees, our running backs and receivers and the guys in the tight ends room. David Thomas has been a great mentor, as was Jeremy Shockey, and I have learned a lot from each guy who has worked with me over the past two seasons.
"My focus right now isn't on going to Hawaii, it's on the Carolina Panthers and getting ready for the playoffs, but I think any guy who gets named to the Pro Bowl realizes that it's a heck of compliment and I am grateful and humbled by it."
Receiving record with reach
Graham also has a shot at NFL history himself.
He needs 68 yards in Sunday's regular-season finale against the visiting Carolina Panthers to break Kellen Winslow's 31-year-old NFL record of 1,290 receiving yards by a tight end. However, Graham also needs to pass up New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is 6 yards ahead of him during a leaguewide tight end revolution.
Graham said making the Pro Bowl was the one individual luxury he allowed himself on his preseason list of goals, but he told the NFL Network that the Pro Bowl was the icing on the cake, while a Super Bowl would be the cherry on top.
He said he hasn't spent much time thinking about the chase for Winslow's record, but he said all of the individual and team success has combined to make this a "dream" season.
"Every day, I just have to pinch myself because I am living this life," Graham said after Monday night's game.
Payton said he wasn't surprised by Graham's breakout season because of the glimpses Graham showed on the field as a rookie and because of his attitude and work ethic off the field.
"He reminds me a lot of (Dallas Cowboys tight end) Jason Witten, his personality," said Payton, who coached Witten before coming to New Orleans in 2006. "He's a lot like him in that he's eager to please, he's smart and he's tough. He wants to get better."
'An extreme blessing'
Bushrod's selection was a bit more of a surprise, though it's well-deserved for the fifth-year pro and third-year starter. He has allowed only three sacks this season while protecting Brees' blind side.
"I was pretty shocked about it, but it was definitely awesome news," said Bushrod, a fourth-round draft pick out of Towson in 2007. "Just having the opportunity to be voted in is such an extreme blessing. I never would've thought in a million years I'd have this opportunity, in the same way as winning a Super Bowl two years ago."
"I think we've seen him grow quite a bit," Payton said when he was asked about Bushrod last week. "He's a young, talented player with confidence. He's extremely athletic and he's very intelligent, so he's worked hard at his trade. I think it's carried over to the playing field. I think you get a consistent performance from him. He's one of those young guys that it's been good to see his development and his growth as a player.
"It's one of the toughest positions to play in our game. Typically, you're going to face the (John) Abrahams, you're going to face the Jared Allens, each week just turn the page and he's going to see an elite player. Typically when there's no news, that means he's playing well. I think in his case there have been a lot of games where he's been a big reason for us being able to have the success both throwing the ball and running the ball."
Evans and Nicks are considered the NFL's best guard tandem, thanks to the way they create a secure pocket for Brees to step into, as well as the way the block for run plays and screen passes. This is the third consecutive Pro Bowl selection for Evans and the second in a row for Nicks.
This is the third consecutive year the Saints have had at least five Pro Bowlers, though they're all hoping to skip the game to play in the Super Bowl instead, like they did two years ago. This year's game will be played in Honolulu on Jan. 29, one week before Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.

Are Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez headed into the studio together?
When Jennifer Lopez joined Taylor Swift on stage during Swift's four-show sold-out run at Los Angeles' Staples Center last month, that may have been the opening salvo in a new partnership.
Us Weekly first reported that the pair are working on a new song for Lopez's next album, and E News! has since confirmed it. Swift certainly embraced all genres of music on her current album, "Red," so we could certainly see JLo and TSwift coming up with a great club thumper. Or maybe they should just remake Donna Summer/Barbra Streisand's "Enough Is Enough." However, giving the rumor a little less credence is the fact that neither Swift's nor Lopez's representatives have commented on the rumor.
The returning "American Idol" judge and Swift started their own mutual appreciation society after the Staples show, during which they performed "Jenny From The Block" together. Both tweeted how much they loved working together.

Stephen Donnelly: Don't fear bankruptcy, it's a potent weapon to make banks do a deal
Insolvency Bill gives more options for restructuring debt and will allow people to get on with their lives, writes Stephen Donnelly
Published 21/07/2013 | 05:00
The new insolvency legislation is about to go live. Whilst imperfect, it means that borrowers are going to have new, meaningful options available to them by September – to restructure debts that are suffocating them, and to get on with their lives.
Last Saturday, I ran a 'Debt Expo' in Bray – a public forum to help people get back in control of their mortgages, and to explain the new insolvency options. To my surprise, I emerged that evening into glorious Wicklow sunshine with a renewed sense of optimism.
Several themes emerged from the experts. First, don't wait any longer. If you know you've got a problem, get advice and act. Second, know the rules of the game. Read up on the Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (MARP) and the insolvency options. When dealing with your bank, get everything in writing. Third, don't be afraid of bankruptcy. It's going to become common place, and is the most important threat available to force your bank to deal. If it's required, just remember you'll be debt-free in three years.
Here are answers to some of the specific questions raised on Saturday:
1. Our bank is refusing pointblank to restructure our mortgage, even though it's clearly unsustainable – what are we doing wrong?
Quite possibly nothing. Many banks still aren't doing any meaningful restructuring. It may be that they're waiting for the new insolvency legislation to kick in.
2. Okay, so where are we with the new legislation?
The bill was signed into law last December and the Insolvency Service of Ireland, ISI, was established in March. It now has a website (www.isi.gov.ie), a public information phone line (076 106 4200) and guides on the three types of insolvency available. Personal Insolvency Practitioners, Pips, are currently being trained.
The ISI is aiming to start individual cases in September. For unsecured debts under €20,000, they will start to issue Debt Relief Notices (DRNs). For larger debts they will begin issuing Protective Certificates. These will give your Personal Insolvency practitioner 70 days to find a restructuring of the debt that is acceptable to you and your lender.
Critically, in the next few weeks eh new bankruptcy regime will kick in. The bankruptcy period will be reduced from 12 to three years, making it a credible option and threat for the first time. If banks continue to refuse to restructure debts in a meaningful way, borrowers can now declare bankruptcy. In many cases, this would cost the banks far more than a negotiated settlement. As such, it is hoped that people's willingness to declare bankruptcy will force the banks to negotiate sensibly.
3. Sounds good, how do I start the process?
Debt Relief Notices will be administered by the Money Advice and Budgeting Service (Mabs). There are Mabs offices all over the country. They'll take it from there.
Debt Settlement Arrangements (DSAs), unsecured debt over €20,000, and Personal Insolvency Arrangements, PIAs, (secured debts, mainly mortgages) will be administered by Personal Insolvency Practitioners (Pips). Some will be local accountants and lawyers, and others will be in large financial firms like Grant Thornton. The ISI will provide a directory on its website. Unlike Mabs, these are for-profit operations, so may charge different amounts, and offer different levels of service – so shop around.
You should contact a Pip for advice as to whether or not you qualify for a DSA or PIA. If you do qualify, they will run the process for you. There is also a good chance that a solution will be found. In the UK, Grant Thornton handles more of these arrangements than anyone else, and has a 97 per cent success rate. The feeling is that we should see high success rates in Ireland in the coming years, as lenders, borrowers and Pips get used to the process and the types of solutions that work in different situations.
4. So how do I know if I qualify?
The key question here is whether or not you're insolvent. Technically, a person or business is insolvent if they cannot pay their debts as they fall due. The ISI's position is as follows: you've got to be able to provide you and your family with a 'reasonable standard of living', as defined on their website. If after paying for this, you cannot meet your debt repayments sustainably (think capital plus interest), then you're insolvent.
You've got to be in the Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process for at least six months to qualify for an insolvency arrangement. However, it might be worth contacting a Pip during the six months, or even before you go into arrears, to start getting organised. Pips can bypass the six months if they believe that MARP isn't going to work for you.
5. Do I keep my home in a Personal Insolvency Arrangement?
You should, yes. The legislation has been developed with the express intention of restructuring people's debts so that they keep their home and get their debts down to a sustainable level. If the house is particularly big, it may be necessary to downgrade, particularly if debts are being written down.
6. Why don't I just go to the UK and declare bankruptcy?
Maybe you should. It depends on your circumstances. If you go to the UK you'll be out of bankruptcy in one year or less, and can come back to the Republic debt free. If you stay here, you'll be in bankruptcy for three years. There are some technical differences, but the main issue is the inconvenience of having to move abroad for a year.
Bankruptcy will be unpleasant, but is now a realistic option. It shouldn't affect your job, and your standard of living for the three years may be the same as if you entered a DSA or PIA. At the end of the three years your debts will be written off (though you may end up paying some of your income to the bank for a few more years). Depending on the case, you may also get to keep your home. Even if the bank moves to repossess your house, it could take them up to two years to get you out.
So the bankruptcy option may be far more preferable to trying to service an unsustainable debt for the next thirty years, getting to retirement and realising you're broke.
7. Any final advice?
Don't ignore the problem. Don't ignore the letters. Don't ignore the phone calls. Make sure all communications are in writing.
Get expert advice – there's Mabs, financial advisers, solicitors, the ISI and groups like New Beginning. If possible, don't negotiate yourself, get representation.
Study up – the ISI's website provides pretty accessible materials.
If you're paying more than one-third of your net income servicing your debts, and that doesn't look likely to change any time soon, then your debts are unsustainable. Staying on interest-only is not a viable option. You have new options, so find out what they are, and use them.

A look at Denver's 30-10 home loss against Seattle on Saturday night:
For Peyton Manning, statistics really don't matter this summer.
It's all about getting ready for the regular season and shaking off the rust.
Sure, the quarterback threw two interceptions Saturday against the Seahawks. He has three interceptions in about three quarters this summer.
I'm sure Manning will take throwing three interceptions in a game that doesn't matter after enduring multiple neck surgeries last year.
As a whole, Manning looked sharp and showed good arm strength as he played the entire first half and completed 16 of 23 passes for 177 yards. He even took his first hit since his injury. He quickly got up.
Manning will likely play well into the third quarter next week against San Francisco in what should be his final preseason tune-up. Again, Manning is making great progress as he continues to pass tests on his way back from his devastating injury.
Through the first half Saturday, the Broncos defense had held opponents to 2 of 19 on third-down conversations. That's a trend you want to see.
Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe, a second-round draft pick, had another strong performance.
Running back Lance Ball continued to make a push for a roster spot.
Rookie Brock Osweiler replaced Manning. His first two series were three-and-outs, but it is a sign that Denver could be looking to Osweiler over Caleb Hanie as Manning's backup.
Safety David Bruton was a beast on special teams, which will help make a roster claim.

Ohio schools wouldn't be judged by whether all students pass state tests if federal officials grant the state's request for freedom from the No Child Left Behind Act.
Instead of inching toward the requirement that 100 percent of students be "proficient" on standardized math and reading exams by 2014, Ohio would require schools to show improvement among all students, regardless of race, family wealth or other factors.
Students still would need to take and pass tests and graduate on time. But Ohio's system of holding schools accountable would change dramatically.
The plan is outlined in a waiver request that the state Department of Education will submit by Feb. 28 to President Barack Obama's administration.
Among the proposed changes:
• Students no longer would be offered transfers to better schools or free tutoring if their schools fail to improve enough in math or reading.
• Schools would be judged by the progress they make in closing the "achievement gap," the disparity in the academic performance between students of different races and backgrounds.
• Letter grades would replace the ratings listed on school report cards. (The Dispatch typically converts the ratings into a letter grade, such as an A for an " excellent" rating.)
State Superintendent Stan W. Heffner said Ohio's goal is to have students ready for college or a career when they graduate from high school. And he's talking about all students.
"How many years have we failed (to close the achievement gap) and not done anything about it?" he asked.
More than 89 percent of white students statewide earned diplomas in 2010, the most-recent rates available. But among black students, only 65.3 percent graduated. The graduation rate for Latino students was 62.7 percent.
The 2001 No Child Left Behind law was the education centerpiece of former President George W. Bush's administration.
The law has been up for renewal since 2007, but Congress has been unable to agree on how it should be updated. Until it is, Obama invited states that want to opt out of 11 major provisions to submit their own plans for improving schools. Federal regulators have granted waivers to 11 states so far.
Ohio is asking to opt out of all 11 provisions.
State officials say Ohio's plan would increase expectations for students.
Heffner characterized Ohio's plan as "a continuous improvement strategy," one that seeks to give a clear picture of how well students are performing and what progress is being made year to year.
Reynoldsburg Superintendent Steve Dackin said Ohio's plan would "raise the bar high so our kids are ready to succeed. We need a diploma to mean something."
Regardless of what happens to the waiver request, Ohio is revising standardized tests to fit within the Common Core curriculum guidelines being adopted across the country, which are seen as more rigorous. Some districts already have started using the Common Core guidelines, and all must by 2014-15.
If Ohio's waiver is approved, the state would disband a tutoring program that has dealt with allegations of fraud and wrongdoing. Columbus schools and state and federal officials all have investigated the "supplemental educational services" program, which is for children who attend schools with low academic marks and high poverty.
Instead of providing tutoring, schools could use federal money to pay for longer school days or longer school years.
Columbus Superintendent Gene Harris said she would welcome the end of the tutoring program, which in Columbus took $3 million in federal money last school year.
"We are spending an enormous amount of time and effort just administering this," she said. " Having the opportunity to extend the school day and school year for our students would be a positive thing."
A waiver also would allow Ohio to ditch the federal definition of "highly qualified" teacher, which measures only whether teachers are licensed in their subject area. Instead, Ohio's school report cards would show how effective teachers are based, in part, on how well their students perform.
Ohio will be "shining a light" on academic disparities between student groups, Heffner said, living up to a key component of the federal law. No Child Left Behind was designed to ensure all types of students were making progress.
Under the state's plan, schools would have to show that they're increasing the percentage of students who are passing exams each year. That state would set annual targets. The overall goal is to cut in half the percentage of students who aren't passing tests by 2016-17, compared with last school year.
On the annual school report cards, schools would be given letter grades based on their test-passage rates, graduation rates and a student growth measure called value-added.
Heffner cautioned that the results may not be pretty.
"Parents won't see as many A's" on school report cards, Heffner said.

It is not enough to simply put a product on the shelf and wait for customers to purchase it; there are many ways in which businesses entice customers to become aware of a product and understand what it does, as well as convince them that it is beneficial, but these methods do not seal the deal. The inside sales supervisor takes control of the closest part of the process: reaching out to customers who have already entered the business.Read More...
The inside sales supervisor coordinates all in-store methods of approaching and engaging prospective customers. In essence, inside sales representatives serve as direct liaisons between the company and customer. Their primary responsibilities involve coordinating the sales staff, educating them about the products/services they sell, instructing them on the methods of customer engagement, and motivating them to go out, make their quotas, and be there to assist customers directly when necessary. Thus, the inside sales supervisor must be an effective and engaging leader who can communicate well and operate according to deadlines.
There are no basic educational requirements for inside sales supervisors. However, the most important asset for a prospective applicant is management experience, as those in this position must know how to schedule employees and train them properly. Experience in direct sales is also very important, and applicants with a proven track record in meeting quotas and closing percentages will have the best prospects. Some employers may look for applicants with a degree in Sales or Business Management.

I've always been heavy, and even at my fittest in my early 20s, I was at least 2 stone overweight. In my late 30s, I developed Type 2 Diabetes - which I mostly blamed on drinking copious amounts of "full fat" Coke, and being rather partial to pies, cakes, biscuits, etc. Max weight during this time was about 220lbs, but was pretty stable for more than a decade.
Since then, I modified what I ate to eat "better" - not a diet per se, as I have never believed that making yourself hungry (ie. calorie restriction) just increased the tendency for dieters I know to yo-yo. Weight was stable, until I was switched onto one diabetic tablet that had "weight gain" side effect - it gave me the munchies! I just had to eat! It controlled the diabetes well, but I gained about 15lbs on that tablet. Came off it, and lost the 15lbs. Other than this peak blip (to my lifetime max of 234lbs), again weight very stable. Diabetes well controlled but on 7 tablets a day.
What changed my lifestyle approach was the big D... we decided to divorce in Aug 2010, and I started taking better care of myself.
First major change was I found a sport I could love! I went for a try-dive (ex was too conservative to participate in adventurous things), and instantly fell in love with diving. I had two big problems; I was terribly unfit after 20 years of inactivity, and I had diabetes so had to pass a medical to be passed fit to dive.
So I started swim training, initially just swimming with the dive club. Endurance increased, and after 6 months I could do 1 mile in under an hour on fin-kicking alone. But weight was stable. I tried to pass the dive medical, but this actually showed I had underlying asthma as well. Flunked the medical, but that just made me more determined to train more to improve my breathing and fitness.
So I added more normal swimming to the mix, and felt fitter, but weight was still stable. (So docs always berated me on my "obese" BMI... no leg fat whatsoever, heavy shoulder muscles, and a medium belly... but still damned BMI says "obese").
In January this year, with my new (diving) girlfriend's encouragement, I booked a holiday at a good diving location for June. I had a goal... get fit enough to retake the dive medical, and then learn to dive.
By April, I felt fit enough... I was doing a mile each swim session, and could do 2.5 lengths underwater on one breath. Since lung capacity was a factor in the dive medical, this was important! And I passed the medical... yeehaa! So in May/June I trained to dive on holiday, and passed my PADI Open Water diver on 3rd of June, 2012.
But I was still the same weight as I was 20 years ago... fitter, but no lighter.
One day, I came across an advert for Mark's Daily Apple on the Maximuscle website. I had been taking protein supplements after swimming to help repair and recovery in my muscles. Not bulking out, just damage minimisation.
Primal Blueprint made sense, and since I've always been a carnivore beardy, having permission to embrace my inner Grok was perfect.
So about 2 weeks ago, I started going Primal - my first ever true "watch what I eat in detail" diet. Transition is slow, as for economic reasons, I'm not purging the pantry (abhor throwing away edible food) - just not restocking it with carbs. I'm eating my way through what is in stock, while increasing the protein/veg content of my meals.
Not missing bread as much as I thought, love having more meat, but only like the green veg - I have a lifetime hatred of the taste of parsnip, swede, turnip, and I dont think that will change. Dont really like sweet potato either. But green veg is great, and my local Morrissons stocks an amazing variety of the more unusual veg choices.
So finally the stats:
Age: 45
Height: 5'9"
BF%: 25.75% (according to a website calculator)
BMI: 31.9 (if include "bigbone" 10% allowance: 28.7)
Start Waist: 40in
Current Waist: 40in
Target? Not really setting one. "Less weight that is self-sustaining" is probably all. Oh, and maybe a visible 6 pack!
Grok On!

By Kevin O'Hare
Ringo Starr, "Liverpool 8" (Capitol/EMI) 3 stars.
The Magnetic Fields, "Distortion" (Nonesuch) 3.5 stars.
Anne Murray, "Duets: Friends and Legends" (EMI) 2.5 stars.
Various Artists, "Sowing the Seeds - The 10th Anniversary" (Appleseed) 3 stars.
The Young Rascals, "The Young Rascals" (Collector's Choice Music) 4 stars.
Eminem, "Live From New York City" (Eagle Vision - DVD) 3 stars.
Ringo Starr, "Liverpool 8" (Capitol/EMI) 3 stars.
They've sometimes tried to take off in different musical directions, but whether it was John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr out on their own, they were never able to totally leave their Liverpool roots behind.
Of all the Fab Four, Ringo Starr has been most comfortable with embracing his past, even dating back to his magnificent 1973 solo album, "Ringo."
So it's not exactly surprising to find the world's most famous drummer spinning back in time on "Liverpool 8," which is named after the section of the city where Starr was raised.
The album, and especially that title track, is decidedly Beatle-esque, and the song "Liverpool 8," is filled with deeply nostalgic references to everything from The Beatles' infamous nights in Hamburg to the rise in Beatlemania and even the band's unforgettable performances at Shea Stadium. It's a song about destiny and the longing for a home left behind, and if anyone can sing about both, it's Starr, who wrote or co-wrote all 12 of the songs here.
It's no secret that Starr will never go down as one of rock's greatest vocalists but he does a decent job here, helped out by plenty of harmonies, some sturdy arrangements and the co-production of Mark Hudson (when the disc was initially being assembled) and later, Dave Stewart.
Some of the songs, such as "Think About You," are straight ahead rockers, with the drum-thundering, gritty guitar and electric piano backed "Now That She's Gone," a particular standout.
Occasionally the production is as extravagant as anything Starr has ever released on his own, most notably during "Gone Are The Days," which has a swirling, effects-filled introduction. The heavy production is occasionally overblown but works better later during the melodically rich ballad about life, death and all the in-betweens, "Love Is." Frankly, the latter cut is one that could have easily fit onto "The Beatles" (aka "The White Album") or "Abbey Road."
Some of the set's best moments occur when Starr strips away some of the production, like during "Give It a Try" (which is ever so slightly reminiscent of McCartney's "Hope of Deliverance"), and the deeply-sung, Spanish-flavored "Pasodobles."
The disc's most deliciously out-of-left-field song is the finale "R U Ready," which thanks to some transistor radio-like effects, and instruments like mandolin and acoustic guitar sounds like it could have been brought down from the mountains by The Carter Family back in the 1930s. Starr has always had a deep love for country music, and this time he takes that a retro-loving step further and it proves to be a real treat.
The Magnetic Fields, "Distortion" (Nonesuch) 3.5 stars.
The simply-titled, lower-case loving "i" in 2004 featured 14 songs that started with the same letter as the album title, and flowed seamlessly together on a sea of instruments like cello, piano, ukulele and banjo. The approach was sparse but provided a frequently fascinating backdrop for the writer's musical moments of melancholia.
Now there's "Distortion," which like its name is all fuzzed up and filled with feedback, even on instruments like cello and accordion. The recording techniques are definitely non-traditional and it frequently sounds like the band is about a half-mile away from the microphones.
Amazingly, it works. Merritt says he was aiming for a Jesus and Mary Chain sound on the album and he got it, but he's still unable to escape the natural melodicism that runs through his songs. So a track such as "Mr. Mistletoe" still comes across like a bizarre blend of Brian Wilson and John Cale with maybe a little George Harrison thrown in as well. The high harmonies, mostly provided by Shirley Simms, who was a prominent part of "69 Love Songs," are consistently beautiful, on songs such as "Please Stop Dancing" and "Drive On, Driver." And Merritt's sense of humor is still very much intact, especially during selections like the ode to excess "Too Drunk to Dream" and the scathing "California Girls," which shows the other side of Beach Boy Wilson's idealistic vision.
Occasionally, The Magnetic Fields wander too far off course, stumbling on the dull and dumb "Zombie Boy," but most of this further establishes Merritt and company as some of the most creative and adventurous minds on the pop scene.
The Magnetic Fields play the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton on Feb. 11 and 12.
Anne Murray, "Duets: Friends and Legends" (EMI) 2.5 stars.
For someone with one of the most distinctive voices of the past several decades, and for someone who has sold millions of albums, Anne Murray has always come across as too smooth and too clean cut to garner many accolades from the critical elite.
Here's a theory that she's among the "guilty pleasures," for a lot of those who take the time to listen. And the fact that Emmylou Harris, Shelby Lynne, k.d. lang and a host of other revered female artists show up on this album of duets with Murray says a lot about the respect she's earned in the musical community.
This disc of 17 duets is dominated by versions of some of Murray's biggest hits, including her 1970 breakthrough "Snowbird," sung here with Sarah Brightman; a lyrically updated "A Little Good News," performed with Indigo Girls; and "Danny's Song," her 1973 smash which pairs Murray with Martina McBride.
But there are problems too. Murray's decision to do a posthumous duet with her idol, the late Dusty Springfield ("I Just Fall in Love Again") adds an unnecessary macabre edge to the proceedings. There's also nothing going for the Celine Dion live track ("When I Fall in Love") or the Amy Grant collaboration on the forever ghastly "Could I Have This Dance."
Yet Harris adds some beauty and grace to "Another Pot O' Tea," Lynne helps lift The Beatles' "You Won't See Me," and Nelly Furtado blends well with Murray on John Stewart's classic "Daydream Believer."
This one's a decidedly mixed bag.
Various Artists, "Sowing the Seeds - The 10th Anniversary" (Appleseed) 3 stars.
Social activism has always been part of Appleseed Recordings' legacy, and keeping with that tradition, artists such as Pete Seeger, Ani DiFranco, Bruce Springsteen and others are showcased on the label's 10th anniversary sampler.
Unlike most such samplers, this 37-track, double-CD set does offer several exclusive new tracks, most notably a rare duet between Seeger and Springsteen on the latter's "Ghost of Tom Joad," DiFranco's version of Seeger's Vietnam classic "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," and Donovan's newly recorded version of a song he had a hit with in 1965, Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Universal Soldier."
Among the many other artists here are Jackson Browne and Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, The Kennedys, Al Stewart, Roger McGuinn and John Stewart, the latter whose "Baby, It's You," is one of the highlights of the second disc.
Rarities and Reissues
The Young Rascals, "The Young Rascals" (Collector's Choice Music) 4 stars.
The Young Rascals, one of the very best American bands from an era that was dominated by the British, have gotten the full-blow reissue treatment from Collector's Choice Music.
Focusing on the seven albums the New York combo recorded for Atlantic, the series starts with this ever-impressive debut from 1966, featuring the band's breakthrough single "Good Lovin'."
It was a snapping blast of blue-eyed soul and raw garage music that sounded perfect on AM radio and it marked the beginning of a most impressive career for Felix Cavaliere (organ/vocals) and Eddie Brigati (vocals), and their bandmates Gene Cornish (guitar) and Dino Danelli (drums).
Collectors will love the fact that the reissue includes both the stereo and mono mixes of songs like the supremely soulful "Baby Let's Wait," "Mustang Sally," and even a distinctive take of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." The album features new liner notes as well as the original ones, though you may need a magnifying glass for the latter.
The reissue series also includes other rockin' albums like "Collections," and "Groovin'," as well as the band's evolutionary trip into psychedelia on recordings like 1968's "Once Upon a Dream," and The Rascals' most political album, 1969's "Freedom Suite."
DVD Spotlight
Eminem, "Live From New York City" (Eagle Vision) 3 stars.
There's lots of crotch-grabbing and endless raunchy language in Eminem's "Live From New York City" DVD, plenty of hip-hop trademark crankin' and misogynist rants and raves, and even a weird backstage scenario in which the notorious wordsmith supreme contemplates offing himself by blowing a bullet into his brain.
That's all part of the fun in any Eminem show though, and while it may not be family centered it's enough to have turned the former Marshall Mathers, aka "Slim Shady" into one of the biggest acts of the past decade.
This 2005 performance from Madison Square Garden captures Eminem in all his seedy glory, lockin' into his best-known tracks including "Stan," "The Way I Am," "Cleaning Out My Closet," and his classic finale "Lose Yourself."
The latter is one of several songs to feature his group D12, including the rapid-fire, hard-hitting "Git Up," and the flat out goofy "Rock Star," which features D12's Bizarre.
At times, the pacing is erratic, the flow is disjointed and the mood swings don't work, especially compared with the synchronized shows that most other artists stage. At the same time, there's something refreshing about that, and looking at the way Eminem's fans shout out the lyrics along with the star, leaves little doubt that he's having no problem getting his message across.
Rating Scale: One Star (poor) to Five Stars (a classic)

Carbon For Android Gets Expected Release Date, Next Great Twitter Client?
I'll readily admit that I switch Twitter clients like a baby changes diapers and I've eyed Carbon for Android ever since I saw a promo video back in March. It's been a long time in development and thanks to a Google+ post from yesterday, we're looking not only at a July 22nd submission to the Google Play store, but a free app. That's right, the next great Twitter app for Android will release ad-free, as a premium app with a free price tag in Google Play.
Why go free you ask? Well, there is a good reason for that as the developers are out of United Arab Emirates and since Google doesn't allow paid apps from that country, the developers are releasing it as a premium free app anyway.
Says developer Dots & Lines:
So, we finally decided to make it a free app. Yep, a premium free app. No Ads (we believe that Ads cripple the experience no matter how efficiently done, it's just wrong on an app that users use all day long). Going free, doesn't mean watering the app down, but a mean to get the app that we've been working on for a long time, designs that went through endless iterations and tweaking to be experienced out there by our eager friends who've been waiting for months.
Furthermore, Dots & Lines says the July 22nd expected submission won't be a beta test either, this will be a full-blown version 1 build. If this is even half as good as Carbon for webOS, we're all going to picking this one up.

Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton. Where: Madison Square Garden, Seventh Avenue and 32nd Street, New York. When: 8 tonight. How much: $64.50-$254.50. Call (201) 507-8900 or visit ticketmaster.com.
NEW YORK -- They belong together, like Lennon and McCartney, or Jagger and Richards, or Springsteen and Clemons. That was the impression, at least, that a concert by Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton at Madison Square Garden on Monday created.
Winwood and Clapton (they were billed in that order) were bandmates once, in Blind Faith, which released a self-titled album in 1969 and toured briefly, then broke up. They played four of that album's six songs at Madison Square Garden. But the show, which opened a sold-out three-concert stand that ends tonight, wasn't really about re-creating past glories. It was more about resurrecting a partnership that had infinite potential, but ended prematurely.
Because of that -- and because the golden-voiced Winwood, 59, and uber-guitarist Clapton, 62, can still sing and play exceptionally well -- it was the best kind of reunion.
Clapton and Winwood haven't played together in decades, except for a six-song collaboration at Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Bridgeview, Ill., last summer. Yet, they couldn't have seemed more in synch with each other than they did on Monday.
With Winwood playing organ, and he and Clapton trading gruff, pleading vocal lines, they recaptured the raw-nerved spirit of Clapton's Derek and the Dominos band on "Little Wing" and "Tell the Truth." Clapton nimbly handled the twists and turns of songs by Winwood's progressive-rock group Traffic, such as "Dear Mr. Fantasy," "Pearly Queen" and the instrumental "Glad."
Airy, mid-tempo Blind Faith songs "Had To Cry Today" and "Can't Find My Way Home" sounded more like Traffic than anything Clapton has recorded, on his own. Another Blind Faith song, the Clapton-sung "Presence of the Lord," was pure gospel.
Clapton's "Forever Man" (recast as a duet with Winwood) and Winwood's "Split Decision" evoked the pop sheen of their '80s music. "After Midnight" and "Low Down," both written by Clapton buddy J.J. Cale, gave Winwood, Clapton and their band (bassist Willie Weeks, drummer Ian Thomas, keyboardist Chris Stainton) an opportunity to play some looser, scruffier roots-rock.
The standout among the night's blues songs was an epic jam on Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile." Winwood seemed to channel some exotic, mystical force as he sang lines like "The night I was born, I swear the moon turned a fire red." And Clapton, stretching out on his guitar solos, drew listeners in with his elegant melodic explorations, then shook them up with some stinging riffs.
The two stayed onstage together for the whole show, except for two solo songs paying tribute to their shared roots. Clapton accompanied himself on acoustic guitar on blues titan Robert Johnson's "Ramblin' On My Mind," and Winwood backed himself, on organ, on a masterfully warm, Ray Charles-like take on "Georgia On My Mind."
There was really only one problem with the show. It ended with an anticlimactic one-song encore: a funky take on Johnson's "Crossroads" (memorably covered by Clapton's pre-Blind Faith group, Cream). It wasn't bad, but it failed to match the fireworks of many of the previous songs.
The two co-stars didn't say much between songs, and made their longest speeches before their respective solo numbers. They both spoke about how glad they were to be there; Clapton also said that he and Winwood were having such a good time "maybe we'll do a bit more," meaning there could be more shows.
This year will also mark the return of the Winwood/Clapton team on CD, since Clapton made a cameo on Winwood's album "Nine Lives," due out in April. But since Winwood is already booked for the summer, opening a Tom Petty tour that comes to the Garden on June 17, and the Prudential Center in Newark on June 18, an extensive joint tour is impossible, at least for the immediate future.
It was natural to wonder whether original Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker would jump onstage Monday, for a song or two. But Baker, who joined with Clapton and singer-bassist Jack Bruce for Cream reunion shows in 2005, was nowhere in sight. (Blind Faith bassist Ric Grech died in 1990, so a complete Blind Faith reunion was impossible, anyway.)
Maybe Baker was there, watching. But if he wasn't, and he missed last night's show as well, he should think about rushing to New York for the last show, tonight. He may never get a chance to see something like this again. And it really shouldn't be missed.

Reviews for Feeding Americas Hungry Children

We have given over a million pounds of food to hungry children and their families every year I have been involved with Feeding Americas Hungry Children. We also give hundreds of thousands of clothing articles to children and their families each year. Oddly the most sought after and well received articles of clothing we give out are underwear and socks. I know it is uncomfortable to the wealthy, but many of the families we donate to do not have washing machines and they can't get enough of these essential articles of clothes that we take for granted. God Bless, Tim

I donate to Feed The Children. I received a request for donation from Tim Wead, Feeding America's Hungry Children, P O Box 96245, Washington DC 20090. When I tried to look up the organization, I only find it with an address in Arizona. This request had a pair of what looks to me like imitation children's underwear- instead of elastic around the legs and waist, it is bias tape. I'm thinking this is a scam, piggy-backing on your program.

I don't think this charity is getting a fair shake from CharityNavigator's rating system. It downgrades them on the following: Independent Voting Board Members, CEO listed with salary, process for determing CEO compensation, board members listed, Audited Financials, FORM 990, etc. But these things are only partially true. For example, the CEO's salary is not listed because it's a volunteer position ($0). There are no board members because there are only 8 employees and they package the donated food and deliver it with the organizations three semi-trucks. Feeding America's Hungry Children's website includes its financials and independent audits. It's operation couldn't be simpler: they take unsold produce from grocery stores and distribute it to local food banks.

Literally tons of food is wasted each year while at the same time families are starving. This organization does the most sensible thing: collects food before it is wasted and provides it to those in need.

I received a request in the mail from Feeding America's Hungry Children asking for at least a small donation to send a pair of baby socks (that they sent to me) to "one American child."
There is an obvious absence of TAX ID/charity status information on the paperwork. On the back of the donation form it says:
"This outreach is a ministry of the Don Stewart Association Church...gifts [are] subject to the church's right to use the gift when, where and how it believes it can best use the gift to carry on it's ministry."
I found this suspicious, and read more than a few negative things about Don Stewart to discourage my donation.

Meeting 21st Century Family Planning Challenges with an Evidence-Based Approach, 2009-2014
The 2009 Family Planning Research Cooperative agreements were awarded to the following:
Grantee Organization:
The Guttmacher Institute
125 Maiden Lane
New York, NY 10038
Principal Investigator:
Jennifer Frost, DrPH
Project Period: 9/01/2009 – 8/31/2014
This project will use existing data to:
- provide updated estimates of the number of women in need of subsidized family planning services at the national, state and county levels;
- describe the extent to which the need for publicly funded family planning services is being met by providing national, state- and county-level data on availability of clinic services and utilization of these services;
- monitor changes in public-sector financing for family planning services at the national and state levels, including assessment of changing funding streams, and the implications of these shifts for publicly funded services, for Title X family planning clinics and for clients in need of these services;
- examine the costs and benefits of prevention of unintended pregnancy as well as prevention and treatment of STDs;
- track changes in the demand for clinical services;
- investigate the use and nonuse of publicly funded services among eligible women in need by analyzing factors that contribute to nonuse of methods and services when at risk of unintended pregnancy; and
- examine the challenges faced by publicly funded family planning service delivery due to (among other things) rising costs of health care, increasingly difficult to reach clientele, and the changes in service delivery and financing as a result of health care reform.
Child Trends Family Planning Research Cooperative Agreement
Grantee Organization:
Child Trends
4301 Connecticut Ave., N.W., Suite 350
Washington, DC 20008
Principal Investigator:
Jennifer Manlove, Ph.D
Project Period: 9/01/2009 – 8/31/2014
The project is organized into three stages: In Stage 1, the prevalence, trends, and sub-population differences in populations at risk of unintended pregnancy and STIs will be addressed and sexual activity and contraceptive behaviors that affect the risk of unintended childbearing and STIs will be examined. In Stage 2, family, individual, peer, partner, school and community factors associated with reproductive health outcomes from Stage 1 will be examined. In Stage 3, the program will address 5 cross-cutting themes for populations in need of family planning, including:
- male involvement in reproductive health, using NSFG, NLSY97 and Add Health couples' data;
- contraceptive method choice and the overlap between pregnancy and STI prevention;
- family planning service receipt and its association with method choice and consistency;
- characteristics of parent-teen discussions and the role of parental involvement into young adulthood; and
- reproductive health among vulnerable populations, including runaway and homeless youth, as well as those in foster care or connected to juvenile justice. All three stages will examine subpopulation differences by gender, race/ethnicity, poverty status, age, marriage/cohabitation status and presence of previous children.
Innovative Evaluation of Title X and 1115 Waiver Family Planning Programs
Grantee Organization:
The Regents of the University of California
3333 California Street Suite 315
San Francisco, CA 94118
Principal Investigator:
Phil Darney, MD
Project Period: 9/01/2009 – 8/31/2012
This study will identify the strengths of each component of a mixed payor model and help identify the ideal blend of providers to yield a cost effective and efficient publicly subsidized family planning program. It will address a gap in knowledge by comparing access issues, pregnancy outcomes, cost-effectiveness and quality measures across provider types. Using the Family PACT (Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment) database which contains information on all the publicly subsidized family planning in California, the following series of studies will be conducted:
- evaluate how provider type impacts access to care, including a survey to delineate provider characteristics such as population served specialty, practice type, location and volume of family planning visits;
- contrast standardized quality indicators and utilization management outcomes by provider type;
- compare pregnancy outcomes by provider type to understand each group's specific contribution to averting unintended pregnancies; and
- assess the costs of supplying specific contraceptive methods, prescribing patterns of contraception and their impact on cost containment in new Title X clinics, long standing Title X clinics, private clinics, and non-Title X public clinics.

It only took one game, but the Jets are back to being the underdog once again. Yes, the bandwagon has emptied out pretty darn quick after last week's debacle and that's just the way I like it.
It has been proven time and time again that when big things are expected from this team it turns out badly. Well, it turned out badly on Monday night and expectations have plummeted for this team already.
I'm fine with that.
One game does not a season make...or break for that matter, so it is silly for anything to change based on that performance Monday night. However, it seems a lot of other people have already written off Gang Green based on that first week. I haven't found a single "expert" who picked the Jets this week. I'm fine with that too.
Thankfully the team and its coach have been quiet this week, other than a little smack-talk between Darrelle Revis and Randy Moss. Let's see this team do it's talking ON the field tomorrow.
Its GO TIME has been the big marketing cry for the Jets. It is definitely time for something.
It is time for the big, bad Jets to show something on the field instead of the headlines. It is time for Mark Sanchez to show some promise throwing the ball and for Brian Schottenheimer to show some trust in allowing him to throw it. It is time for Shonn Greene to show the talent we saw during last season's playoffs. It is time for Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson to step up and be part of the best cornerback trio in the league.
It is time for the Jets to prove all the hype was not JUST hype.
It is time to smack the Patriots in the mouth and make a statement...ON THE FIELD.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Regional industry representatives worked feverishly setting up for the Worlds of Opportunity Career Expo at the Mobile Civic Center in downtown on Tuesday.
A project of the Southwest Alabama Workforce Development Council (SAWDC), the SAWDC Worlds of Opportunity Career Expo is an industry-led initiative that pulls together more than 115 regional companies to engage students through hands-on, career related activities over the two-day event. Businesses develop and staff the "Worlds" that students visit. Each World is led by a chairperson, called a "World Leader", who engages companies within the respective industry to create the central element of the expo, the hands-on activities. Worlds work for months to engage partners, identify careers to highlight, and create hands-on interactions that link careers to the classroom. Visiting the event for just under two hours, students will pick their favorites of twelve Worlds to visit and learn about careers available close to home. Students visiting the World of Aerospace will step onto a mock runway directing them to career-related interactions in the Aerospace industry. In the World of Safety, students will wear personal protective equipment and climb onto scaffolding to paint a mural. Outside, students visiting the World of Construction will choose from activities ranging from hammering nails, building a brick wall, or operating a mini excavator to move piles of sand.
The following twelve Industries were represented in the Worlds: Aerospace, Automotive Technology, Communications, Construction, Energy, Engineering & Architecture, Healthcare, Hospitality & Tourism, Manufacturing, Maritime, Public Service, and Safety.

The Film
A love story set against the aftermath of a nuclear attack, Fallout follows one man's journey to find the woman he left behind. It's America's worst nightmare come true, shot in live action then animated in the style of a motion-graphic-novel. A true genre blend, Fallout is part character improvisation, part apocalypse story, and part science fiction.
Damien is driving the freeways of Los Angeles, fresh from breaking up with his girlfriend, Rose. Suddenly blinded by a flash of light, he crashes his car off the freeway, but stays conscious just long enough to see a mushroom cloud forming in the sky. He awakens to find himself in a makeshift refugee camp beyond the blast zone in the deserts north of Los Angeles. Unsettled by a deep guilt, Damien breaks free of the military quarantine to find Rose, the lost love of his life.
His search takes him across miles of nuclear wasteland, and all the while Rose's voice rings out in his mind and heart. When Damien finally reaches the burning wreckage that is Rose's apartment, she's nowhere to be found. As it slowly dawns on Damien that he might have lost the most important person in his life, a soldier with a gun confronts Damien and takes him into custody.
A nurse treats Damien for radiation exposure in an emergency medical facility set up in a church. Just when Damien has given up entirely, Rose appears on a stretcher down the hall — she's still alive! In order to save Rose now, Damien must confront his own demons of the past.

Carlyle Group said it has agreed to buy the Ortho Clinical unit of Johnson & Johnson for $4.15 billion, a deal that would shed the health-care products company's only diagnostics division.
The agreement is expected to close in the middle of this year, Carlyle said in a statement today. Revenue has been slipping at the unit for blood and cholesterol tests, and it isn't one of the market leaders, Chief Executive Officer Alex Gorsky said when New Brunswick-based J&J put the business up for sale last year.
Carlyle plans to operate the business as a stand-alone entity after the acquisition, said people with knowledge of the matter before today's offer was announced. Carlyle, based in Washington, has asked banks to line up about $3.3 billion in debt for the acquisition, with the rest funded by cash, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the negotiations were private.
"We expect to tap into rising demand for sophisticated medical diagnostic products and services worldwide," Stephen Wise, managing director of Carlyle, said in the statement.
Ortho Results
Ortho Clinical, which makes diagnostic equipment that tests blood for everything from cholesterol to fertility hormones, reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of about $475 million in 2012. Carlyle plans to invest heavily in research and development as well as international expansion, said the person, who is familiar with the company's strategy.
J&J rose less than 1 percent to $95.07 at 8:49 a.m. New York time.
The company received three final offers for the division including the one from Carlyle, people familiar with the situation said last month: a joint bid from Blackstone Group and Danaher Corp., and a combined offer from CVC Capital Partners and Leonard Green & Partners.
Johnson & Johnson hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. to help it sell the business after it decided to focus on molecular diagnostics. Reuters reported previously that J&J had entered exclusive talks with Carlyle.
Carlyle has been one of the most active private-equity bidders for health-care companies in the past couple of years, according to a person familiar with the firm's strategies. The firm made an offer for Immucor. ahead of its 2011 sale to TPG Capital as well as a bid for Life Technologies Corp. before its $13.6 billion sale last year to Thermo Fisher Scientific, the person said.
It also acquired Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc. for $3.45 billion in 2011 and Healthscope for $2.6 billion in 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Carlyle oversees $185 billion in assets across 122 funds and 81 fund-of-fund vehicles. The firm was founded in 1987 by Daniel D'Aniello, William Conway and David Rubenstein.
