Ouch…My favorite is Frank Drebin's version in 'The Naked Gun' (RIP Mr. Nielsen).
'Minoring In Baseball'
Where do they get these people? But then having people screw up the song is part of the fun, isn't it? Sometimes?
Clearly he thought that giving the National Anthem a 2010 reboot with a non linear plot and dark modern overtones of feelings of loss and possibly substance abuse would be the height of trendy. Personally, I blame Quentin Tarantino for this.

Berlin Pond: Panel to convene to pinpoint accessBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | February 19,2013BERLIN A newly formed committee has launched its effort to identify optimal areas for outdoor enthusiasts to get on or near the water of Berlin Pond.
The seven-member committee got off to something of a slow start during its first meeting Thursday, but before it was over participants expressed a shared desire to conduct a swift but thorough analysis of potential access areas and report their findings to the Select Board later this spring.
Committee members are clearly of two minds when it comes to an issue that has been the source of local controversy since the Vermont Supreme Court ruled last May that Montpelier lacked the authority to enforce century-old recreational restrictions on the pond that serves as its public drinking water supply.
That honest difference of opinion surfaced early on in Thursdays 90-minute session first when Bob Wernecke was nominated to serve as chairman and again during a brief debate over Werneckes interpretation of the committees charge.
Over the course of the past nine months Wernecke has been a vocal proponent of finding a reasonable and safe way for those interested in canoeing, kayaking, or fishing on the pond to actually get to the water a fact that committee member Phil Gentile suggested might make him ill-suited to serve as chairman. Gentile, who lives on the pond, serves on the towns conservation committee and has been equally vocal on the other side of the issue, wondered whether someone more neutral should run the committees meetings.
However, Wernecke argued individual leanings on the subject shouldnt enter the conversation because the access question has already been answered by the Vermont Supreme Court, Berlin voters, and most recently the Select Board.
I dont think were here to debate that issue, he said.
Were here about finding the best way to accomplish this, not whether it should be accomplished, he added.
Wernecke went on to say that, in his view, the committees evaluation should not focus solely on the tiny, town-owned parcel of land that was the subject of a lopsided, non-binding referendum last November.
That assertion provoked some initial push-back from another committee member who lives on the pond and has repeatedly raised concerns involving access to the pond over the past year.
Kathy Hartshorn argued the committee shouldnt waste its time evaluating other possible access areas, when the vote last November specifically involved the town parcel on Paine Turnpike South.
Members discussed whether to seek clarification from the Select Board, but after reviewing the notice that the board crafted in order to recruit the committee, agreed that wouldnt be necessary. Though the notice stated the committee would be created as a ...follow-up to the town vote, the board specifically expressed an interest in having the committee ... review and identify other possible sites for access to the pond as possible alternatives.
Thats part of what were being asked to do, Wernecke said.
It seems pretty clear to me, committee member Paul Irons agreed.
Once that threshold question was out of the way, Wernecke was elected chairman, Gentile, vice chairman, and committee member Scott Williams volunteered to serve as secretary.
In plotting their next steps, the committee plans to call in two representatives from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. That could happen as early as next Wednesday, but if scheduling is a problem would likely occur when the committee meets on March 7.
Members arent yet sold on the states offer to develop a formal access area on the towns land, which include 82.5 feet of frontage on Paine Turnpike South, roughly 85 feet of shoreline and is estimated to be between 150 and 180 feet deep.
According to Williams, options involving that parcel range from simply stripping down the Posted signs that went up last year Thats access, he said to the gold standard, a more formal area for people to park their vehicles and launch their kayaks and canoes.
Although all agreed it would be prudent to pick the states brain, Gentile said he was leery of an offer to develop and operate an access area because, he feared, the town would relinquish control and the pond might become more of an attraction than it otherwise would be.
The greater issue maybe we want to think about is: How big a sign? How is it identified? Is it all over the maps now? Are we going to encourage so many cars to the pond because the... body of water is right between the metropolitan areas for rural (central) Vermont? he asked. We could get a lot of usage if all of a sudden it becomes advertised.
Gentile predicted that he and other pond residents would look to the town to restrict or prohibit access in areas that are currently being used most notably along Mirror Lake Road if an alternative access area is created.
This is our front yard, he said, suggesting many of those who live around the pond continue to be concerned by the level of use it has received.
There are a lot of taxpayers up there that pay a lot of taxes that arent necessarily thrilled with the idea of seeing 59 cars (parked) on the road, he said.
However, Wernecke suggested the novelty of being able to get out on a pond that had been off limits for so long would soon wear off and the number of people who use it would drop.
Irons agreed.
I sailed it once, Ill never go back, he said.
Wernecke said he would like to invite Montpelier to send a representative to the committees meetings, if only because the city owns the vast majority of the land around the pond.
We should offer, he said. If they (Montpelier officials) dont want to participate thats fine.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

The best people are always there when needed as the Spring Clean event (in April) was very good, even when we did not have all the volunteers we needed.
The city and county crews worked very well. The volunteers did collect many loads.
Looking for a bigger event next year.

The Foundation offers a flexible and effective way for Scouters and our supporters to easily accomplish many of their charitable objectives. The BSA Donor Advised Fund ("Fund") permits donors to make an irrevocable gift to further the mission of the BSA and, potentially, other qualified charities. Advised funds in the BSA Foundation are essentially the same as advised funds offered by community foundations, commercial common funds (such as Fidelity and Vanguard), and others -- except our donors are assured that Scouting will always be a primary beneficiary of their philanthropy.
Annual distributions are made from the Fund, and the donor(s) may provide advice to the Foundation related to the amount, timing, and beneficiaries of the Fund. However, the owner of the Fund is the Foundation, and the Foundation board has ultimate control over all distributions from the Fund. The Fund agreement provides for distribution of income and capital appreciation, as well as principal.
To set up a named Advised Fund, the donor must complete a fund agreement and irrevocably transfer the assets for the Fund to the Foundation. Distributions from the Fund will be used to further the mission of Scouting locally, nationally, and internationally. Most donors prefer the charitable beneficiaries to have unrestricted use of their distributions. However, a donor may establish a broad restriction on the use of the distributions in the fund agreement (e.g., limited to Scouting in certain counties or states, support of a specific camp or council program, etc.).
Use restrictions may be specified only in the Fund Agreement, not upon the subsequent advice of the donor. Use restrictions prohibit distributions from the Fund for any other purposes. While a donor may, to some extent, retain the right to change charitable beneficiaries, the donor may not retain control of distributions. Donors may restrict the payout of the principal for a specified number of years but may not require the Fund to be permanently maintained.
A minimum gift of $50,000 is required to establish a Donor Advised Fund. Most donors establish their Fund with cash, marketable securities, or distributions from mutual funds and similar accounts. However, the Foundation may, at its discretion, accept other types of property to establish a named Fund.
If at any time a named Fund's balance falls below $10,000, the donor will be so advised by the Foundation. The donor may then elect to (a) make additional gifts to bring the Fund balance above $10,000 or (b) provide advice as to the distribution of the Fund balance (see Final Distributions on the next page).
Annual distributions are usually the greater of $1,000, or 5% of the Fund value, revalued annually. While distributions tend to be limited to the fund's distributable net income, distribution of principal and/or capital appreciation may be made available or authorized as well. Unless otherwise instructed, distributions are made in the name of the Fund (e.g., the Robert and Mary Jones Family Advised Fund). However, at the request of the donor, distributions may also be anonymous. Distributions are generally made between November 1 and December 31 of each year.
Around September 30th of each year, the Foundation advises each Fund donor as to the approximate amount that will be available for distribution from the Fund that year. Advice from the donor about distributions and beneficiaries is usually provided about the same time and reviewed by the Foundation prior to any distributions. If no advice is received for a Fund, the Foundation usually makes a distribution similar to past distributions from the Fund. However, under certain circumstances, the Foundation may, at its discretion recommend a different distribution.
The Foundation wants to make every effort to help its donors meet their philanthropic needs and objectives. As such, the Foundation will typically make Fund distributions as specified by the donor unless circumstances or special situations, as solely determined by the Foundation, warrant a different distribution. The advisory period for a named Fund usually terminates either upon the death of the original donor(s), or at such time as the Fund balance drops below $10,000, unless the Fund donors, within a reasonable time and with notice, choose to add to the Fund to keep it above the $10,000 threshold.
Most advised fund distributions are designated to BSA local councils. Other Scouting entities, programs, or initiatives of national or international character may also be designated.
Charitable organizations not affiliated with Scouting may be selected as well. Any non-Scouting organization receiving a distribution from a named Fund must be (1) recognized as tax-exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3); and (2) have a mission or charitable purpose similar to, or compatible with the values, principles, and tenets of the Boy Scouts of America. Distributions may not be used to pay dues or satisfy a legally enforceable obligation of the donor. Also, at this time, they may not be distributed directly to a Scout pack, troop, crew, or other Scout unit.
The Foundation provides all fund administration, including (but not limited to) gift acknowledgement, providing a gift receipt and fund statements to the donors, sending checks to charitable beneficiaries, and confirming requested distributions for each Fund. As with other funds, trusts, and assets of the Foundation, we estimate that the annual administrative cost for a named Fund will be approximately .35 of the principal (35 basis points), as revalued annually.
Fund investments are at the discretion of the Foundation. Management and oversight of Foundation investments are provided by an outstanding mix of financial professionals and Scout volunteers. Recommendations are made by the BSA Finance and Investment Committee and overseen by the BSA Treasury Division, as well as the Foundation Advisory Committee. State Street Global Advisors provides the fund management and distribution of funds.
Information on investment performance and portfolio mix is available from the Foundation upon request. The Fund may, at the discretion of the Foundation, be commingled with the Foundation's other assets. All Funds will be listed in the annual report of the Foundation, but may be listed anonymously upon request of the donor.
A donor may specify a final distribution of the Fund balance upon termination of the advisory period. However, the ultimate decision regarding final distributions from a Fund will be made by the Foundation. As with all distributions, the Foundation will consider the donor's advice and make every effort to honor that request. If no final designation is made, or if no advice is given as to the termination of the Fund, the Foundation may distribute the balance of the Fund at its sole discretion. When the final distribution from a named Fund has been made, the Fund will be closed.
An advised Fund normally requires three documents: 1) the Fund Agreement; Schedule A, specifically identifying the gift assets contributed for the advised Fund; and 3) Schedule B, which discusses the details of the Fund distributions and advisory power of the donor. Samples of each and more information can be obtained from the Foundation at email@example.com or at 972.580.2219.
The Foundation offers a flexible and effective way for Scouters and our supporters to easily accomplish many of their charitable objectives. The BSA Donor Advised Fund ("Fund") permits donors to make an irrevocable gift to further the mission of the BSA and, potentially, other qualified charities. Advised Funds in the BSA Foundation are essentially the same as advised funds offered by community foundations, commercial common funds (such as Fidelity and Vanguard), and others - except our donors are assured that Scouting will always be a primary beneficiary of their philanthropy.

He raised his head, strode over to my front porch, and extended a handshake. I had heard I was getting a new upstairs neighbor, and there he was standing before me.
Living above me for the better part of this year, ŌĆ£PapaŌĆØ Jack was a beautiful, troubled soul. Growing up in Virginia, he got into some mishaps and was kicked out of his house at age 14. From there, he worked in the orange fields in Florida, then enlisted in the Army after more run-ins with the law and eventually became a sharpshooter during Vietnam.
ŌĆ£Well, my job was to kill. I did that, then went to bed, everyday,ŌĆØ he told me through saddened eyes.
After the war, he developed severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which overtook the latter years of his life, resulting in alcoholism and drug abuse. Add that to being a roofer for 30 years and his body paid the price. HeŌĆÖd routinely stop by my porch and chat, always wanting to know, ŌĆ£WhatŌĆÖs in the news today?ŌĆØ
The last time we crossed paths, he and I sat on the porch and shot the bull. We just talked and watched the world drift by. IŌĆÖll never forget his eyes, which were full of regret and loss. HeŌĆÖd light his cigarette, inhale deeply and exhale while leaning back into the musty couch with a sigh.
Before and after becoming a journalist, IŌĆÖd crossed paths with numerous Vietnam veterans. Not that their stories are better or worse than those from other wars, but their faces and sentiments stuck out more. They didnŌĆÖt get a ŌĆ£ticker tapeŌĆØ parade upon returning home or were properly diagnosed when something went wrong, physically or mentally. They came back and dealt with themselves and their thoughts, many-a-time alone with nobody to turn to.
IŌĆÖve always been an advocate of the phrase, ŌĆ£You may not support the war, but support the troops.ŌĆØ Being 28 years old, from a military family, IŌĆÖve seen plenty of my high school classmates enlist and be deployed into Afghanistan and Iraq. Many came home ready to take on the day, while a handful never seemed to ever want to arise from bed again. ItŌĆÖs heartbreaking.
ŌĆ£PapaŌĆØ Jack carried his traumas with him like a bag of weights. He was broken soul among thousands of similar folks, people we all come across day in and day out. Recently, I was strolling Main Street in downtown Waynesville during their Labor Day weekend ŌĆ£Block Party.ŌĆØ My friend Louie approached me.
ŌĆ£Jack died yesterday, had a heart attack. Dead as a doornail, so I just thought you should know,ŌĆØ he said before disappearing back into the crowd as fast as he appeared.
IŌĆÖll never forget ŌĆ£PapaŌĆØ Jack, and I hope, through this poem, that you wonŌĆÖt eitherŌĆ"
ŌĆ£For ŌĆśPapaŌĆÖ JackŌĆØ
He moved like a man carrying two full suitcases
Swaying back and forth, laboring up the stairwell
Back to his sweaty bed and coffee-stained carpet
Sheets unwashed due to a lack of quarters
And lack of energy to make the two-block walk
And sit there at the coin laundry with faces
As ragged, distraught and demoralized
As what he saw every morning in the mirror
Tattoos on his chest of soldiers fallen
And remembered by those, and him
Who was bittersweet about being lucky enough
To not come home in a wooden box
Tattoos on his chest in faded black ink
Covering his heart and lungs
Like marks of past transgressions
And burnt from infinite cigarettes
In shaky hands and lonely lips
Two polished, large sapphire pools
Tucked behind wrinkled flesh
Permanent lines and creases
From rare laughter in a rowdy bar
From often sorrow in an empty room
Another night on sweaty sheets
Another night of fear
From twilight visions he cannot escape
Grab for the bottle
The pill
The smoke
And blur the madness
Head upon his pillow
Eyes upward and out the window
Branches sway in southern winds
One day he wonŌĆÖt wake up alone
A day heŌĆÖll never witness from his empty room
For heŌĆÖll already be in that wooden box
As tattooed skin, wrinkles and creases
And a broken heart
Will dissolve where only bone remains
The common denominator of a man
Forgotten by the land he was birthed from

Public defenders
Fifty years ago the United States Supreme Court unanimously handed down a ruling that the courts must provide a lawyer to those defendants too poor to afford one.
The landmark decision, Gideon v. Wainwright, established the present day public defender office, ensuring representation for indigent criminal clients.
But a half-century later, that representation is still not equal to that received by wealthy clients who can pay for a private attorney, said Janet Fogle McKim, who established the Washington County branch of the Ohio Public Defender Office and served as the Washington County Public Defender for 25 years.
"Rich people get more justice than poor people," said McKim, who retired in 2006.
That was the case with Clarence Earl Gideon, a poor drifter, who spent his life in and out of the prison system.
When some money and alcohol came up missing from a Florida pool hall in 1961, a local resident told police he had seen Gideon, then 51, leaving the place with a bottle of wine and change in his pocket.
"He asked the court for a lawyer and they said no," said McKim.
At the time, Florida only provided counsel for indigent criminals in capital cases.
He was sentenced to the maximum five years in jail, but Gideon felt the court had violated his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights guaranteeing him a fair trial.
In prison, Gideon scrawled out a handwritten appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and won the right to have his case retried, this time with a court-appointed lawyer.
The second time around, a jury found Gideon not guilty of the theft.
"The public has this perception that when the state charges someone with a crime, they got it right, but I can tell you they do get it wrong," said Shawna Landaker, assistant Washington County public defender.
Giving those defendants the help they need to make sure they get fair representation is what makes the job rewarding, said Washington County Public Defender Ray Smith.
"I do enjoy helping people, especially people who without my help, they wouldn't do well," he said.
But the system faces some serious challenges when it comes to funding and manpower, said Smith.
"Everybody is stretched thin," he said.
Last year, 70 percent of Ohio's criminal cases were handled by a court-appointed attorney, said Amy Borror, public information officer for the Ohio Public Defender Office.
That percentage is a good representation of how many criminal cases are handled locally by the three full-time attorneys at the public defender office and the five other attorneys who are contracted to handle public defense cases on a part-time basis, said Smith.
To qualify as indigent, Ohio requires defendants fall at or below 187.5 percent of the poverty level, or $21,544 for a single person household.
In 2011, the most recent statistics available, the Washington County branch of the Public Defender Office closed 2,723 cases and still had 412 pending at the end of the year.
And those 3,000 plus cases are actually not a bad caseload compared to some bigger areas, said Washington County Assistant Public Defender Randall Jedlink, who worked as a public defense attorney in Toledo prior to coming to Washington County.
"In Toledo it was very, very overburdened. There were mornings where you'd handle dozens of cases. Here I think the public defender system is in much better shape," said Jedlink.
Lucas County, which encompasses Toledo, closed 15,438 cases last year with another 5,122 still pending.
"A lot of times public defender offices have a bad reputation, many many many times deserved. They have way too many cases, not enough time," said McKim.
A public defender trying to juggle too many cases can have negative impacts for their clients.
"A lawyer going into trial needs to really know about the case," she said.
Where caseloads are staggering, it is not unheard of for a client and public defender to meet for the first time at their court appointment, said McKim.
"If you're arrested and you sit in jail and no lawyer comes to talk to you, chances are you don't feel like you're getting good representation," said Borror.
Overwhelming caseloads can also mean that attorneys have had no time to prepare for a case, she said.
Many counties, like Washington, contract with outside attorneys to handle some of the caseload.
But even when it comes to free representation, money still talks, said McKim.
That is why McKim hired the seasoned, albeit pricier, attorneys when she contracted out work for the office.
When the state public defender asked why she was hiring all those expensive attorneys, she replied "The constitution says you get a fair trial. If you have someone like (Washington County Prosecutor Jim) Schneider on one side and some wino out of college as defense, then that's not a fair trial."
Smith agreed, "If you want a level playing field you should have equal compensation."
As an elected official, Schneider's $115,703 salary is set by Ohio law.
Smith's $69,617 salary is made up of 65 percent county funding and 35 percent state funding.
But compensation is just the start. Public defenders also have a hard time accessing the resources they need.
"I wish we had better access to experts, to DNA testing, to labs," said Smith.
But where any extra money would come from is a challenge.
Politicians do not like asking voters for money for indigent defense, pointed out McKim.
"Who's going to run for office saying they want to spend more money on criminal defense?" she asked.
Last year, $116 million was spent on indigent defense in Ohio, said Borror.
The Gideon decision, while significant legally, was handed out as an unfunded mandate, said McKim. The funding was left to the states who in turn have relied largely on the counties to fund and provide indigent defense, she said.
The result is a lack of consistency in the quality of indigent defense depending on what state and county you are in, said McKim.
In Ohio, counties handle indigent defense four ways. Washington County is one of 11 counties where the office is run through a contract with the state public defender.
Some counties, such as Lucas County, contract with a nonprofit corporation. Others have a self-governed county public defender office.
But in the vast majority of Ohio counties, the courts assign counsel to private local attorneys, who work the cases for free and are not always enthusiastic about indigent representation, said McKim.
"If they want better defense they need to find people that are enthusiastic about indigent defense," she said.
The system still has a ways to go before indigent defendants truly have the same access representation and resources as their wealthier counterparts, said McKim.
"There are so many things working against a poor person in the system," she added.
Still the system would be in a scary place without the Gideon decision, and not just for defendants, but for victims of crime and society in general, said Smith.
"Prisons today would be full tenfold of what they are now or people would get away with murder because we'd have no place left to put them," he speculated.
Even with the public defense system sparing some of the Gideons of the criminal justice system from serving time, the nation's prison system still touts both the highest per capita and total prison population in the world.
The ratio of the U.S. population behind bars is 716 of every 100,000 people.
For comparison, that ratio is 154 per 100,000 in the United Kingdom and 114 per 100,000 in Canada.
"There is something wrong with that," said McKim. "We have thrown away people. It costs a fortune to house them there."
Changes in the laws have helped somewhat, said Borror.
An Ohio law passed in 2011 cut back somewhat on the number of offenders who can be sent to prison for fourth- and fifth-degree felonies. It also raised the threshold for felony theft to $1,000 from $500, said Borror.
But more can be done legally to reduce the burden on the public defender office, said Smith.
"They can do away with the death penalty," he said.
According to the state public defender office, the state reimbursed almost $1 million for defense in death penalty cases last year.
The state public defender office is looking at ways to increase reliable funding sources, said Borror.
"We've been trying to move away from general revenue funding. You never know from one budget to next what you'll get. If you have dedicated funding, then it's written into the law," she explained.
The state gets some dedicated funding from fines and fees assessed in criminal cases, said Borror, but they have proposed additional dedicated funding revenue sources.
Recently, the public defender office proposed a 10 percent surcharge on liquor licenses, said Borror.
"We've seen there is a nexus between alcohol consumption and criminal cases," she said.
But Ohio Gov. John Kasich did not include that proposal on his office's most recent budget plan.
"We'd like to have more dedicated funding but we're having a hard time finding a source legislators will agree on," said Borror.
On a brighter note, more general revenue funding for the public defender office was approved this year, meaning the office could potentially bump reimbursement to counties from 35 to 40 percent, said Borror, but added, "We're still a long way from where we need to be."

"Thank you for your great witness and ministry to Christ and His Church. I have enjoyed listening to Catholic Answers Live and your apologists for a number of years now. It has been very formative and inspirational in my journey towards becoming a well versed and devoted servant of Christ and His people on earth via His Church."

His exercise regimen is a long and winding road.
Joe Peppercorn has jogged around his Grandview Heights neighborhood in recent months to build the endurance of his lungs — and his pipes.
"I sing as loud as I can while I'm running."
Such magical mystery tours have a purpose. Come Saturday, the musician will again attempt a lengthy concert set to feature every Fab Four song in chronological order.
Peppercorn's fourth-annual Beatles marathon — to be held Downtown in the Bluestone, a 1,500-capacity venue about six times the size of last year's showing in the University District club Kobo — is a labor of love and stamina.
"We're playing the songs with the most intensity we can," said the 33-year-old musician, his right wrist sporting a brace to ease the strain from a recent weekend practice session that stretched almost 12 hours.
"We're very meticulous about singing vocal harmonies and nailing down the spirit so it really connects live."
With 215 Beatles tunes comprising the set list, though, a stab at A Hard Day's Night — and everything else — is, well, hard.
Previous marathons have lasted at least 10 hours.
Peppercorn will take only a 60-minue intermission halfway through — with other brief breaks limited to "energy bars and bananas; there'll be an extended guitar solo, and I'll sneak behind the drum kit and slam one of those."
Whiskey helps, too.
As always, the ambitious frontman will get by with a little help from his friends: A backing ensemble will include members of Peppercorn's longtime folk-pop band, the Whiles, plus five other auxiliary musicians in varied roles.
What the concert isn't: a cover-band variety show with costumes and phony accents.
"If I use a funny accent, I tell people: 'You can punch me in the crotch,' " Peppercorn said.
Still, there's ample room for spontaneity. A ticket to ride, likewise, allows patrons to come and go as they please.
As expected, the lengthy endeavor has its highs and lows. Some Beatles tunes have previously challenged Peppercorn (a waltz break in We Can Work It Out resembled "an elephant trying to do ballet"); others come easy (the Help! and Rubber Soul albums are favorites).
Like a long run, meanwhile, training plans give way to primal instinct: "At a certain point, the adrenaline really kicks in."
During last year's show, "he was rolling around and screaming at the end of Helter Skelter," said Kobo owner Jacob Wooten, who is booking and promoting the Bluestone gig. "He gets a little crazy.
"It's the same Joe everyone knows and loves, but you get 12 hours of it."
Peppercorn, an Upper Arlington native, was introduced to Beatles music as a child. During his love-struck adolescence, the budding artist found himself rediscovering the music that now "knew exactly how I was feeling."
During his 20s, the singer-pianist had a fleeting brush with fame after the Whiles attracted attention from major labels and shared a Skully's Music-Diner bill with an on-the-rise band now widely known as the National.
Life, as he knows, goes on.
The offbeat idea didn't become a reality until the church organist became busy with work and parenthood.
Beatles marathon shows embrace "all the idealism I had when I started playing music," said Peppercorn, now a father of three. "Everyone's hugging each other."
He has toyed with tackling another band's catalog but can't find another group boasting the same quality or a manageable amount of material.
The host instead continues to pursue a fulfillment that money can't buy.
Beatles music has become "this universal language everyone shares at this point," Peppercorn said. "This is something that's written into my code of being."

The Cap Scoop Maternity Top is one of those pieces deserving of the title 'hero' – combining style and substance with ease. On the substance front, we've cut it from soft easy care jersey that holds its shape wash after wash (good news when you'll be wearing this post-pregnancy too). On the style side, it's packed with dress up or down potential. Wear it solo or layer it under a softly draped cardigan or your favourite leather jacket.
This 'forever' style can be worn right through pregnancy and long after.

Certified massage therapists complete a training program of 500 or more hours, take national board exams, and are licensed or registered in 29 states. To find a massage therapist in your area, contact: The American Massage Therapy Association (amtamassage.org , 877-905-2700).
To find a massage therapist who specializes in the pain associated with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or neuropathy, consult your neurologist, primary care physician, or a physical therapist. Massage therapy should not replace your regular medical care or cause you to delay seeing a doctor about a medical problem. Ask the therapist for this information before scheduling an appointment:
* his or her training, experience, and licenses or credentials
* any specialized training or experience with your medical condition
* references from clients who have your same medical condition
* the number and cost of treatments needed
* insurance coverage, if any
Massage is generally not covered by insurance, but that is slowing changing as more insurance companies acknowledge its benefits. Massage is most likely to be covered as a treatment for a specific injury or condition, or when it is prescribed by a doctor. However, the number of treatments may be limited and may also depend on the licensure or credentials of the therapist. Note that some insurance companies which cover chiropractic treatment will reimburse for massage when treatment is provided and billed through a chiropractic clinic. Contact the following for more information on insurance: National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (ncbtmb.org ; 630-627-8000); Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (abmp.com ; 800-458-2267).

The Kauai County Council has voted to override Mayor Bernard Carvalho's veto of Bill 2491 which regulates pesticide use and the farming of genetically modified crops.
The Council met Saturday after recessing Thursday when it did not have the votes to override the veto. Five votes are needed for an override. On Thursday the council had only four votes when Ross Kagawa said he would not support the override.
The council met yesterday to appoint a new member to replace Nadine Nakamura who resigned last month to become Carvalho's Managing Director. Mason Chock was appointed and sworn in yesterday as the seventh council member.
Mayor Carvalho joined supporters and opponents who filled seats at the county building.
Council members discussed the issue for more than an hour before voting five to two in favor of the override.
Voting in favor were council members Gary Hooser, Tim Bynum, Chairman Jay Furfaro, JoAnn Yukimura and Chock. Council members Mel Rapozo and Kagawa voted against the override.

I've always been fascinated that, the more you delve into science, the more it appears to rely on faith. You know, when they start to speak about the universe they say, well, actually, most of the universe is antimatter. Oh, really, where's that? Well, you can't see it. [Robinson: "Yes, exactly."] Well, where is it? It's there. Can you measure it? We're working on it. And it's a very similar argument to someone who would say God created everything. Well where is he? He's there. And I'm always struck by the similarity of the arguments at their core.Carroll takes Stewart to have meant "dark matter," not antimatter, and he's upset that Jon doesn't appreciate the great deal of evidence that supports the existence of dark matter, which makes it a direct contrast to a hypothesis like Deism, for example. And indeed the evidence for dark matter is pretty good. There are gravitational fields in the Bullet Cluster, for example, where regular baryonic matter used to reside until it was pushed away by a collision with another cluster. Dark matter, being non-interactive with normal matter, would not be pushed away by the collision, which would explain the gravitational fields in the cluster's old location. Not a slam dunk, but compelling evidence all the same.
But what if Stewart wasn't referring to dark matter--what if he meant dark energy instead? The names are similar, and both dark matter and dark energy have an influence on cosmic gravitation, so it's easy for a layperson to confuse them. Almost 3/4 of the universe is postulated to be "made of" dark energy, and we don't know anything about it, except that it "must" be there, to explain the expansion rate of the universe. We don't even know what properties dark energy might have. It might be something called "quintessence," about which all we can say is that it acts as a kind of anti-gravity, pushing the universe away from itself.
If we take Jon Stewart's comparison at its most basic, replacing "God" with some kind of generic First Cause, it's not really so far fetched. The first cause is a logical construct that would explain the existence of the universe (though it does raise new logical problems, like what caused the first cause). And at present dark energy is not much more than a logical construct, either, the explanandum in this case being the slightly less sexy expansion, rather than creation, of the universe. Unlike someone like Bill O'Reilly, who ignorantly claimed that science can't explain the tides, or magnets, Stewart is essentially correct here. We don't know why the universe is speeding up, and the words "dark energy" comprise the name we give that ignorance.
Faith is often taken to mean something like "dogmatism." In this sense it has not much value for either science or religion, but is present in each. Even in the best science, humans being what they are, it is never possible to apply the null hypothesis to all our tacit assumptions and motivations. We don't dwell on these excesses, but historically they are many. Behaviorism, for one, which promoted a near-complete lack of affection in child-rearing. The prevalence of pre-frontal lobotomies, for another, in the mid-20th century.
A common response to this line is that what is incidental to science is essential to religion, which is centered upon acts of faith. This is where I think we need to introduce complementary meanings of the word, connoting something more like dedication in the face of the unknown. Anyone who has read Marilynne Robinson knows she was not on the Daily Show to encourage religious dogmatism.
This kind of faith is essential to science. (It is also not unrelated to curiosity and play, though the stakes can be much higher in scientific contexts.) This is the kind of faith a scientist might have in thinking she might redeem the work of prior scientists, or in believing there is a rational explanation for an unexpected observation. These proceed without any certainty regarding the results whatsoever. The greatest discoveries must have required immense faith (in this second sense), so upsetting were they to our common understanding of things. Galileo's discovery of moons around Jupiter, Darwin's discovery of common descent. These required an incredible commitment and dedication to see their work through, and both suffered terribly for it.
It is attractive to believe, perhaps, that religion has room only for the first, dogmatic type of faith, and I cannot and will not argue with the menacing prevalence of it. But to pretend that all of religion is just unreasoned adherences and appeals to authority, while all of science is merely evidentiary, betrays no understanding of how much we know about the sociology of science, and the varieties of religious experience. The "conflict thesis" was once compelling, but given all the data we've been able to accumulate over the 150 years since White and Draper, there's no reason for any educated person to believe it.

The worst publicity the business aviation industry has ever received occurred on November 18, 2008, when CEOs from the Big Three automakers flew into Washington, D.C. using private jets to ask the U.S. Senate for a $25 billion taxpayer bailout package. With the country teetering on the verge of financial collapse, the CEOs' seemingly lavish airborne arrival was excoriated in the media as tone-deaf, and an unflattering association with CEO excess was born.Read More »

The Custom CSS Editor allows you to customize the appearance of your theme without the need to create a child theme or worry about theme updates overwriting your customizations.
Adding Custom CSS
First, activate the Custom CSS module on the Jetpack dashboard, and then you can access the CSS editor via Appearance → Edit CSS.
If this is your first visit to the CSS Editor (or you have not yet added any custom CSS code), you will see a placeholder message in the editing window. Please review the message, as it contains some important information about the upgrade. The message says:
Welcome to Custom CSS!
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a kind of code that tells the browser how to render a web page. You may delete these comments and get started with your customizations.
By default, your stylesheet will be loaded after the theme stylesheets, which means that your rules can take precedence and override the theme CSS rules. Just write here what you want to change, you don't need to copy all your theme's stylesheet content.
When you're ready to begin adding your custom CSS code, simply remove the message to get started or add your CSS after it.
Editing Options
You have a few options when editing your stylesheet, and these can be found directly on the right of the editing window:
- Preprocessor: the CSS editor has support for CSS preprocessors LESS and Sass (SCSS Syntax). This is an advanced option for users who wish to take advantage of CSS extensions like variables and mixins. See the LESS and Sass websites for more information.
- Add-on: when making changes to your site's design, you can choose to build on the existing theme stylesheet (Add-on CSS), or replace the existing theme's stylesheet with your own CSS. This second option should be used if you want to start with only the theme's HTML structure and recreate all of its CSS from scratch. Refer to the theme's original stylesheet for reference, and make sure you have all rules/styles accounted for. If you are missing certain elements, the public view of the blog may appear skewed. Only the CSS code in the editing window will be applied to your blog with this option.
- Mobile Compatible: if you use Jetpack's Mobile Theme, you might want your CSS changes to be applied to the mobile theme as well.
- Content width: this option should be used if you have modified the width of the primary content area using custom CSS. The "Content Width" setting is used as the default size for full-size images when they are inserted into your blog. Note that it will not affect the size of some images you added before changing the setting, depending on how they were inserted, and you may have to re-insert some of them after changing the setting.
Previewing and Saving
When editing your CSS, it is a very good idea to always preview your changes before actually applying them – regardless of your skill level. After making some changes to your CSS, you can click the Preview button.
A new browser window/tab will open allowing you to view your blog as if the custom CSS code were applied. You will see a message at the top of your blog, directly underneath your black admin bar:
If you like what you see and wish to save the changes, go back to your open CSS Editor window and click the Save Stylesheet button.
CSS Revisions
The CSS Revisions module shows prior versions of your custom CSS. Each time you click Save Stylesheet a revision is saved. Jetpack will store the last 25 CSS revisions made to any theme on your blog. The CSS revisions allow you to look back at the recent changes and revert to an earlier version if you need to.
To compare CSS Revisions, select a revision date in the CSS Revisions section under the Editor. On the next screen, the revision you selected will be shown side-by-side with the current version highlighting the differences between the two. A red highlight indicates something was removed while a green highlight indicates something that was added.
To restore a previous version of your custom CSS, click Restore for that date and the custom CSS is reverted back.

To my midwife and labor nurses:
Welcome to my birth plan. I am Ginny Snell. My partner is Charles Peterson, and we will also be accompanied by our birth assistant, Cindy Smith.
I am a first time mother, so I am very curious to experience labor. I also tend to be a very cautious person. Charles is more adventuresome. We have done much preparation and hope to allow labor to progress at its own pace. We welcome your suggestions at any point. We plan to be flexible and hope that you will too.
Ginny and Charles
Dear Dr. Cox, my anesthesiologist, and my birth nurses:
I know you might be surprised to read a birth plan because, as you know, we are planning a repeat cesarean section. However, I do have some specific requests regarding my surgery and hospital stay that I hope you will consider.
I will be accompanied by my parents, Sue and Tim Lee. If possible, I would like to have both of them with me in the delivery room. In my family, it is traditional for the oldest male to be involved in making medical decisions, and I am comfortable with this. If any treatment decisions need to be made, please include my father in the discussion. We are adapting to new traditions, however, and if my father and I cannot agree on a plan, I will make the final decision. My father knows this, but he will be uncomfortable. Please be understanding of him.
I would like my baby to remain in the operating room and recovery area with me after she is born. I realize that this may require having an additional nurse assigned and that this might not be possible on a very busy day. But if possible, I hope that this request can be accommodated.

When my son was born, his latch was a bit off and I got cracked nipples. I could not see them well at first, but once the LC pointed them out to me, I could. Also I found out that it only takes one bad latch to crack your nipples. Mine eventually healed up, they were not bad cracks so it was good that I got help when I did. (We saw the LC when my son was 6 days old.)
Since then, I have had cracked nipples a few times. I have always had to watch his latch, and when he started getting teeth, his latch changed a little bit again. But at least I knew what the problem was and knew what to do about it.
My LC recommended polysporin ointment on them a couple of times a day, and Lansinoh lanolin after each feeding. Within a couple of days they were feeling much better.

Two PBS programs focus on Blues and the Jazz Age
September 29, 2011. Posted by Brandy Wood.Add new comment | Filed under: blues, bruce fretts, great performances, hugh laurie, jazz, jazz age, Jazz Alive, jazz88, ken burns, lynn novick, new orleans, pbs, prohibition, wbgo, WBGO Journal
PBS has two programs in the coming week that focus on New Orleans Blues and the Jazz Age. This Friday, September 30 at 9pm (Eastern), British actor Hugh Laurie showcases his musical side in a Great Performances episode filmed in New Orleans. October 2-4, 8-10pm nightly, brings Ken Burns' and Lynn Novick's Prohibition, about the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution and its effect on (or creation of) the Jazz Age.
Laurie says he finds his greatest satisfaction and inspiration from the mixture of blues and jazz that grew out of New Orleans at the beginning of the last century. This Great Performances, "Let Them Talk," includes documentary and interview segments during Laurie's travels around the city. The program features his performances with blues legends Allen Toussaint and Irma Thomas, as well as a fellow countryman Sir Tom Jones. With concert sequences filmed at the historic Latrobe's building in the French Quarter, the musical selections include New Orleans blues standards along with some forgotten and neglected gems.
On Friday at 6:30pm, tune into WBGO for the WBGO Journal as TV Guide's Bruce Fretts stops by to preview Prohibition. Ken Burns will also be a guest on Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio on WBGO Jazz88.3FM on Monday, October 3 at 6:30pm.
When MB Met Fred
November 9, 2010. Posted by Andrew Meyer.Add new comment | Filed under: Brooklyn Museum, Fred Tomaselli, Jazz Alive, michael bourne, News, WBGO Journal
The Brooklyn Museum is showing a retrospective of artist Fred Tomaselli now through January 2nd. Tomaselli's work involves a collage of mixed media: painting, photographs, and a variety of images that have become Tomaselli signatures. Birds. Bugs. Leaves. Beads. Even actual pills that he sticks onto the pieces. One of his most amusing works shows a colossal baby trampling a cityscape like Godzilla. It's Tomaselli's son, and as you look closer you see that the cityscape is actually a jumble of toys. One of his most spectacular pieces shows Adam and Eve driven out from a burst of eyes and teeth and creatures, a Big Bang of life's miscellany. He's also done works that look like intimate close-ups of chemical elements or human cells. Microcosms. Macrocosms. And sometimes both all at once. I talked with Fred Tomaselli at his Brooklyn studio for the 11/12/10 WBGO Journal. You can hear the entire interview as a web extra, and you can see here a slideshow of Tomaselli's works in the show at the Brooklyn Museum.

At Home With An Urban Cowboy

I recently stopped by the Piscataway home of Miles Dean to talk about a little trip he just got back from. The Newark teacher spent six months crossing the country on horseback.
It's a remarkable story which you can hear more about in the WBGO Journal archives. After I was done with the interview, we continued to talk on tape about this and that, including his love of horses and, in particular, the horse he relied on during his cross-country journey. I also brought along my camera to get some shots and video of Miles and his horses which you can check out in a short film I produced.

"We sent these cards to 300 of our dearest friends for our sons graduation. They were a hit. The entire process with tiny prints was positive. The customer service area helped us place our order correctly. The cards arrived perfectly correct and on time. The quality of the cards was high and the envelopes were very sturdy and high class. I will definitely use tiny prints again!!!"
"We didn't think about ordering our Graduation party invitations until it was almost too late. In about 20 minutes, I created this card and had the order place. The expedited shipping was great. My daughter and wife were so pleased with the quality. All of our family and friends were very impressed."
"These were used as a graduation invitaiton for my daughter. I LOVED the way they turned out! Great quality and finish. HOWEVER The envelopes that I had to pay extra for, were not teh right size.
