Bush is getting more and more pathetic. He talks big about taking responsibility for things, but he always blames somebody else. Drunk driving? Call it a political dirty trick and blame your opponents. Bad economy? Blame Clinton. 9/11? Clinton. Lies about Iraq's nuclear program? Blame the CIA. War in Iraq going badly? Blame the liberal media.
Like a 5-year-old child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, Bush is blaming everyone but himself for his inexcusable behavior and policy failures. That's not taking responsibility, that's called dodging responsibility. And now Bush has taken this vice to a new low.
Remember six months ago, when Bush had an aircraft carrier turn around, delaying its entry at port by a day and costing you and me a million dollars so he could be flown in on a jet and be seen wearing his flight suit for PR value? He changed into a suit, then strutted out before the actual military veterans and declared that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended." Remember the "Mission Accomplished" banner that was hung just right so that the cameras could frame Bush with it in the background? That banner's message has come under fire, now that far more U.S. servicemen and -women have died since that PR stunt than before.
Bush is trying to avoid blame for that one, too. It's the Navy's fault, he says. Their idea.
Well, actually, not really. The White House had the sign made. But, they claim, it was the navy's idea in the first place, and they were the ones who strung it up. Yeah. Right. I'm sure the White House didn't have anything to do with suggesting the idea, or with placing it so it could be framed so visibly, right behind the president from the cameras' POV. Those Navy guys are real sharp at this PR stuff, not the White House.
This is pathetic. The only thing that could be even more sad would be if the American people continued to buy these sorry excuses from this miserable coward who himself shirked duty while admonishing others not to do so, who lied to get us into this war and is lying to avoid responsibility for it.

First quote:
"...Union organizers pledged that the march will be peaceful and designated about 800 parade marshals to help keep the peace and point out any violent agitators to authorities."
"Despite the arrests, organizers of several groups working out of a rented warehouse on Miami Avenue insisted they were committed to nonviolence as they went over plans to protest the trade negotiations going on under near lockdown security in downtown hotels.
"We think the police repression is going to be intense," said protester Rocky Pyskoty, 25, from Chicago. "But hopefully all will go smoothly."
Also hoping for calm was AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, who stopped by the protesters' welcome center Wednesday to show union support for the people from all over the country who have come to oppose the trade pact.
"We have been working with the police, and we have every expectation of a peaceful rally and march," he said.

Always be capturing.
That's Google Ventures' maxim for making the absolute most of meetings, according to the ultra-insightful writeup of Joshua Porter, HubSpot's director of UX, who recently worked on a product design sprint—yes, that is a thing, and it is awesome—with Google Ventures Design Studio. While the post doesn't go into the results of the meeting—that would spoil the fun—it more importantly shares the process of how to make conversation a little less ephemeral.
From what Porter describes, the products of a meeting are the artifacts that remain after the conversation's finished. So what do those look like? Porter says:
(It's) about the habit of continuously recording the value from your conversation. For example: If you're talking about a new concept, you should be sketching it as you talk so your team has a shared understanding and an artifact of the conversation.
Methods of capture
We've discussed why you should start capturing before the meeting even begins. Once you've commenced, then go both analog and digital with these tools.
- Whiteboards: On the wall, on wheels—have whiteboards all over the place and let everybody write all over them.
- Post-its: Little square papers are your friends. Porter says to write down bits of ideas and questions on your Post-its, and then you can stick them to the wall or cluster them later. The awesome part of the phsyical world is that you can organize your notes in three-dimensional space, which could help you to see your conclusions in new ways.
- Smartphones: Take photos of your scribbles with your phone; access them later.
- Cloud storage: Have everybody throw those photos in a shared Box or Dropbox folder at the end of the meeting, allowing anyone to grab them when they need them.
A tip for effective meetings: Always be capturing

Common Core repeal bill gets second hearing
- Written by NATE SMITH
COLUMBUS — A bill that would exclude Ohio from impending national education standards received a second hearing Wednesday before a gallery of vocal critics that filled a hearing and overflow rooms at the statehouse.
Thomas Hunter, 12, of Worthington, testifies Wednesday before the House of Representatives education committee about the detrimental effects of national Common Core standards. (EXAMINER PHOTO | NATE SMITH)
Members of the Ohio House of Representatives' Committee on Education pored over hours' worth of written and oral testimony, mostly from opponents to the national standards known as Common Core, asserting the most recent federal directives on education are both substandard and too intrusive to students' personal information.
Nine states and the District of Columbia have combined over two years to receive $4.35 billion in Race to the Top federal grant funds. Ohio's allocation was about $400 million.
Participation in forthcoming national educational standards was contingent upon receiving Race to the Top funds two years ago and some of the uncertainty about House Bill 237 includes whether or not Ohio would have to pay back that money.
"A small price to pay when you're talking about kids' futures," said Jim Burkholder, a Lakeview resident who organized a local caravan of Common Core opponents to attend Wednesday's testimony in Columbus.
Mr. Burkholder helps organize the local Top of Ohio Patriots 9-12 group and is a long-time member of a Christian school board in Lima. According to written testimony he submitted to the committee, part of his concern is the impact on Christian education.
"It is clear to me ... that unless the Christian schools and the home schools choose to use the Common Core plan, their students will not be able to get into secondary schools because of low test scores," he wrote. "He who controls the test, controls the minds of Ohio's children."

Skip to comments.MSNBC Tops Fox News On Back-To Back Nights In Primetime Demo
Posted on 09/19/2012 2:38:55 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache
Last night, for the second night in a row, MSNBC beat Fox News in primetime (8-11pm) in the key adults 25-54 demo. On Monday MSNBC averaged 471,000 demo viewers to Fox News Channels 469,000. On Tuesday, MSNBC drew 575,000 demo viewers, to FNCs 526,000. We will have the full ratings numbers in The Scoreboard a little later on.
The number one show in the demo on cable news is always, always The OReilly Factor unless there is some sort of unusual news event or huge booking.
Last night, there was no big news event, but the number one show in the demo was MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show. This is despite the fact that OReilly had a big (and younger-skewing) guest in Comedy Centrals Jon Stewart. Maddow at 9pm drew 703,000 demo viewers to OReillys 682,000 at 8pm.
Last night in head to head match ups, MSNBCs The Ed Show was fewer than 200,000 viewers behind the Factor in the demo, while Maddow and The Last Word had clean wins over Hannity and On the Record, respectively. In total viewers, OReilly doubled Ed in the ratings, while Hannity led Maddow by 206,000 viewers. At 10 PM, On the Record topped The Last Word by 100,000 total viewers.
FNC remains the top cable news channel in total viewers, but advertisers buy against adults 25-54 (that is why we have always led with the demo in The Scoreboard), so this shift has the potential to be a seismic one if MSNBC can maintain it.
Speaking of which...betcha Beck is why Fox News is down in the ratings...Blaze TV is live and launched this week on Dish Network.
Why watch libs on Fox when you can get the real thing at MSNBC.
Yeah I seldom watch FOX since they got rid of Beck. There was no more informative and educational TV out there.
Looks like he's starting to make inroads with satellite TV.
Is Fox down or is MSNBC up?
Fox News is deteriorating.. 'The Five' is a joke. Who wants to see people sit around a table arguing. Anyone can make that happen. Glenn Beck's Internet show is the most informative of them all.
Do you know which Dish channel Beck is on?
I honestly think some watch MSNBC (I do, but only a little) for the absolute train wreck-ness.
Blaze TV is live 24/7 on channel 212 on Dish Network
I believe 212
Wanna make a bet it is the Blaze doing it? On The Five about 20 mins ago...Gregg Gutfeld just called "The Blaze" "An entertainment site".
I believe he just fired off the first shot at Beck.
Yep. Fox has completely lost me. I tuned in the week of the convention because any other network is unbearable, but haven't been back since. They have really screwed up trying to look 'fair'. Their coverage during the primaries was awful. Chasing Beck out was stupid. Giving the inside the beltway intelligentsia most of the airtime is pointless. I can get better new coverage on the web.
Thanks so much.
I really like The Five except Beckel.
212 on Dish Network.
O'Reilly doesn't go up against Maddow...
I don't know how they are figuring those ratings.
I used to watch Fox and Friends in the mornings at least but now I watch the BBC news because they have actual news.
It's funny how hard FOX tries to be fair, and yet the left remains frothing at the mouth about them.
It's one thing to present the news as unbiased as possible (which I think they do), but it another to hire on leftist wingnuts to add commentary. If I wanted leftist wingnut commentary, I would watch MSNBC.
No big news event?
I don't know; maybe all the libs tuned in to hear more about Romney's "devastating" secret tape and how Jimmy Carter's grandson saved the election. /heavy sarcasm
Anyone have the long-term trendlines on this? It would be interesting to see if MSNBC was the result of them gaining viewers, FOX losing viewers or some combination of both (and to what extent).
I watched Beck his first night, and I haven't been back to Fox since.
I do watch msnbc at times. Why only watch a channel you agree with all the time? I want to know what the enemy is up to.
I do think Beck has a good thing going with the Dish deal. Once he get's another show or two, he'll really impact Foxs' numbers.
Cavuto's GM rant on Monday was fantastic.
Maybe FNC will hire another Obama cheerleader
Sorry I don't watch prime time news. I am watching Dr Eugene Scott at that hour./sarcasm
I tell everyone I know to watch MSNBC as often as Fox so one can see the vicious nasty crap that comes from MSNBC.
I used to watch O'Reilly before he turned hardcore populist and caved in to Barack Obama. If he wanted to vet the President he could have and in the process, help save our country. I listen to Hannity in the afternoon so I really have no need to hear him again. The model of debating libtards has grown tiresome. These people are so demented and have so many mental problems, I just don't care to see them anymore.

Doubtful, I am.
FYI, our documentary movie, "Rockin' the Wall," will be on Dish starting Jan 1.
You don't have Dish Network do you Cripple?
I flipped Faux News the bird when they flipped it to Sarah.
Could Beck's Blaze TV be cutting into Fox News viewer numbers? I know I've been watching. Is it an uptick in MSDNC numbers or a drop in Fox numbers?
Agree - don't think this is accurate HOWEVER since FOX has actually led some broadcasts (Shepard Smith) with the video being the reason for the attack - I have decided they have nothing new to offer.
Unless something big happens between now and the election I think I will listen to country music. Helps the blood pressure.
I quit watching Fox after they kid gloved the Marxist in Chief. Made me sick to see the truth hidden and allow the POS to waltz in like Baby Doc from Haiti. When the entire media is repeating the same lie, does it matter which channel you turn to?
I've got Comcast.
Stopped watching O'Realy years ago when he trashed the Swift Boat people and Free Republic.
If I want to find out what is actually going on in the world, I go to THE premiere website where nearly 100% of conservative talk show hosts including RUSH and Howie Carr go to get their "show prep" = Free Republic.
Ditto. FNC is now competing with their own business channel, because it feels more like news.
It is impossible to get news on the West Coast after 5PM from Fox. Everyone goes home and you are stuck with the idiots.
By far, Fox is the thinnest on the ground in terms of people out there gathering news. They break almost nothing first.
During the Egyptian coup, I had it tuned to CNN against my will because at least they had people there covering it.
It's a bad product, made by a lazy manufacturer who lacked any competitors to keep them sharp. They owned the right, because the right had no where else to go. Now we are just sick of the quality of the product.
If it stays this bad, the cleavage factor has to go way, way up to get me to tune in because there's no other reason any more.
Fox News as a news organization sucks. It's really a joke.
OReily NEVER had competition before Blaze TV.
Lets see, we have light in the loafers smith, a slew of producers/directors who are just doing the selective story editing as cnn and msnbc.
I wonder if msnbc went up or it is just fox going down.
They had John Steward on? He is ratings poison on FNC.
Congrats, LS! Can't wait to see it!
Probably a little of both but mainly PMSNBC up...
Ratings for Fox or MSNBC tend to go up when there is something (or someone) for that side to get angry about.
The hard-core lefties were throwing a fit about the Romney tapes, and they tuned in so they could listen to someone yell about it.
While Fox is far from perfect, I expect this to be a short-term spike for MSNBC.
RUSH, Howie, et. al: 3 hours of "talk" show consisting of over an hour and a half or more of commercials, discussing stories we already know about. Who needs em? We have FR!
It's turned into a circle jerk. It's all about the "talent" rather than the news.
It actually pisses me off, because, frankly I used to fall back to FR for news and its lost a few steps lately with with primary rancor.
A lot of sharp people left, and they didn't take the trolls with them.
Best news I can get my hands on all day is still the WSJ, and I KNOW that has its limitations.
My company makes an automated news aggregation system and I'm hear to tell you that getting decent information is a very big problem right now. It feels like the holes in organizations are getting plugged faster than before.
There was a site called 'f*ckedcompany.com' that was around from 2000 to around 2009 or so. People stuck in crappy companies would post memos and emails from inside the company to document the idiocy of what was going on inside.
Very good source of news back in the day about corporations. The comments by the CEO of FedEx yesterday reminded me a little bit of the candor you used to be able to find there.
Fox doesn't want to spin, it doesn't really want to be fair, and it doesn't want to provide any news. It wants ratings, and they hire hot, smart women to deliver a slight variation of the same news you can get elsewhere.
The major difference between Fox and the others is that Fox doesn't lead with Romney's 'secret tape'. It'll talk about it, but after the obvious big news of the day, which is the goat humpers breaking out into 'mating season' in the sandbox and backward Asian nations. Fox still manages to get to it, but later.
During the day, even on FBC, its analysis, not news. Spare me. If you are going to do that, Nicole Petalides is going to have to go bare midriff.
FNC is too NYC to be of significant use.
The Five seems more staged than substance.

For the Summer
On nice warm days, you may be tempted to take your pet with you in the car for a quick ride to the store. If you do this, please make sure that you never leave your pet in the car, even for a few minutes. Even if you park in the shade, the interior of your car can act like a greenhouse, easily reaching 120 degrees in just a few minutes, which can cause heatstroke, brain damage, or worse. And if you do happen to see a pet in a car alone during these hot summer months, make sure you tell the manager of the business right away!
With the 4th of July Holiday right around the corner, there will be lots of fireworks - even in your neighborhood. Needless to say, Fireworks can be terrifying to some pets. Please make sure that if you hear fireworks being set-off you turn your attention to your pets and reassure and comfort them. Some pets get scared enough that they may try to runaway so make sure your pets always have a proper ID or microchip. If you are concerned about the way your pets are reacting to Fireworks, make sure you let us know ahead of time and we will help your pet with a mild sedative if the stress of the holiday is too much. Give us a call today to discuss the best way for your pet to celebrate the holiday with you!

The purpose of being here was to visit Machu Picchu. A four hour train journey took us to Agua Calientes at which point we were at the base of the mountain. The day before we visited the site we spent a day luxuriating in some hot volcanic springs, with a Pisco Sour in hand (local cocktail). Very touristy, very tacky but very nice...
Yesterday we visited the site itself. At this point we would normally launch into superlatives - but there is really nothing you can put in writing to describe this place. We have visited the Grand Canyon and walked the Great Wall of China - but nothing compares to Machu Picchu - it is the most amazing thing we have ever seen. We have added a few pics to try and put this across but they cannot do it justice - you have to come here and surround yourself with the majesty of it all.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I have a shake every morning for breakfast and was looking for something a little different than what I usually have. I read great reviews about this product so I decided to try it. It has lots of great things in it that are good for you, true - but the taste is just terrible. I am not a picky eater and can stomach a lot, but it's all I can do to swallow this stuff. I usually mix it with almond milk, but tried different juices just to see if that would help... it didn't. I usually think highly of Nature's Way products, and I think the intentions were good with this one, but something needs to be done to improve the flavor if they expect people to drink it. I don't usually write reviews, much less negative ones, but I read so many saying that it tastes good, I felt I should offer a different perspective for future potential buyers.
since I learned about the effects of fructose from Mercola I will not order this product again. Alive contains fructose and even though Alive has so many great herbs in it I will not order until they remove fructose from the ingredients. I hope they will switch the sweetener quickly because the product is fantastic in many many other ways. Remove fructose and it will be a 5 star again for me.

It ships to Korea, so less things to pack in our luggage. It's great flavor, perfect for shakes and smoothies.

Hong, Il Ki MD, PhD*; Kim, Jeong Hoon MD, PhD†; Ra, Young Shin MD, PhD†; Kwon, Do Hoon MD, PhD†; Oh, Seung Jun PhD‡; Kim, Jae Seung MD, PhD‡
Objective: We evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of 3′-deoxy-3′-[18F]fluorothymidine (FLT) compared with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in recurrent brain tumors.
Methods: Twenty patients with suspected recurrence after surgical removal of primary tumors were studied. The uptake was assessed visually and quantified by standardized uptake value (SUV) and SUV ratio of tumor to white matter, tumor to gray matter, and tumor to normal tissue. Final diagnoses were made by histopathology or clinical and radiological follow-up.
Results: Of 20 lesions, 15 were recurrences. 3′-Deoxy-3′-[18F]fluorothymidine PET showed high diagnostic sensitivity (15/15 [100%]) and moderate specificity (3/5 [60.0%]). 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET showed moderate diagnostic sensitivity (11/15 [73.3%]) and specificity (4/5 [80%]). All of 4 recurrent tumors without FDG uptake showed FLT uptake. Tumor-to-normal tissue ratios (3.99 ± 1.72) of recurrent tumors on FLT PET were significantly higher than tumor-to-white matter ratios (1.96 ± 0.93) and tumor-to-gray matter ratios (1.32 ± 0.33) on FDG PET (P < 0.001), although SUVs (0.62 ± 0.32) of recurrent tumors on FLT PET were lower than those (2.44 ± 1.02) on FDG PET (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: 3′-Deoxy-3′-[18F]fluorothymidine PET has a high sensitivity but a lower specificity, which has a limited role in the diagnosis of recurrent brain tumors as a complimentary tool of magnetic resonance imaging.

Matthew McConaughey before and after
Actor Matthew McConaughey went to extreme measures to lose 30 pounds to play a man living with HIV in 'The Dallas Buyer's Club.' He even told Larry King, "I should not look healthy by the time I'm doing that film."Photos by Andreas Rentz & Michael Buckner/Getty Images
Beyonce wanted to make a complete transformation for her role as Deena Jones in 2006's 'Dreamgirls' and lost 20 pounds in the process.Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Matthew Fox
Actor Matthew was dedicated to making his role as a cage fighter in 2012's 'Alex Cross' believable. His weight loss made him almost unrecognizable, and co-star Tyler Perry even told MTV, "He really went to where ever he had to go. I don't even want to know what dark places he went to to get that character, but he was amazing."Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Jennifer Hudson
After having her son, Jennifer Hudson did "whatever it takes" to transform her body to play the role of Winnie Mandela in 2011's 'Winnie.' She lost weight the healthy way through exercise and portion control as a Weight Watchers spokeswoman.Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman
In order to get the role as ballerinas in 2010's 'Black Swan,' lead stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis both shed 20 pounds off their already petite frames for the movie. Portman's hard work ultimately paid off when she won the Oscar for Best Actress that year.Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for AFI
50 Cent
Rapper 50 Cent shocked his Twitter followers when he posted a photo of a bone-thin version of himself when filming 'Things Fall Apart.' He went from 214 to 160 pounds in just nine weeks on a liquid diet and three workouts a day.Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images for Relativity Media
Anne Hathaway
Not only did she chop off her famous long locks for her role in 'Les Miserables,' but she also dropped a shocking amount of weight for her role as Fantine.Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images
Rooney Mara
Actress Rooney Mara wanted her role as Lisbeth Salander in 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' to look more frail, so she dropped weight even though director David Fincher didn't want her to.Photo by D Dipasupil/Getty Images
Christian Bale
For his role in 'The Machinist,' Christian Bale lost a shocking 65 pounds for the role by eating only 275 calories a day. He put his body through even more work when he bulked back up from 121 to 190 pounds for his role as Batman in 'Batman Begins.'Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images

"Thankyou for all your work in providing a curved bay radiator, it is now fitted and is an exact match to the template I provided you - perfect! I would happily recommend your company to anyone considering the purchase of a similar product I would also like to thank you on a more personal note for returning the gloves I left with you by accident on collecting the radiator. I thought them lost and was most surprised when they arrived yesterday in the post - a most thoughtful and considerate gesture, many thanks!"
"Radiator arrived yesterday much earlier than expected. Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with it and to thank you for your patience in dealing with me as I was very indecisive over the colour. The sample colours you sent were a great help, so many thanks to you and the workshop for the time and effort you put into helping me make my final decision. Kind Regards"

"I have recently had my curved radiator fitted and am more than happy with it. Great service and very knowledgeable staff- give yourself a pat on the back! "
"I was told by my plumber that bay window radiators do not exist anymore. After researching on the internet, I found your company who were very helpful and answered all my questions. The advice from your staff was very professional and they knew what they were talking about. I was told to make a paper template. Once your company received this I was contacted straight away. Within a week I had my radiator delivered. I was called 24hrs before delivery (which allowed me to book a day off work). The delivery driver arrived and offered to put the radiator in the bay. It was perfect. I couldn't fault anything. Excellent company and product!"
"Completely satisfied with my angled radiator with grills."
"I was over the moon when my radiator arrived, it was better than I expected!"
"When I contacted this company, I knew I wasn't going to be ripped off. I originally wanted to order a larger radiator which would have been more expensive, but after speaking to them, they advised me to go for a smaller radiator as my room didn't require so much BTU. I felt comfortable and safe with this company. When I wanted to chase my order up, I was told exactly where my radiator had been completed to. Excellent staff. Well done"

"Both my double bay radiators arrived today, and I would like to thank your team for your professional and speedy service. I felt comfortable with your advise and the time you took to answer all my questions- apologies for the quantity! "
"I couldn't believe the quality of our radiator when it arrived. It fitted perfectly in our bay window. Our plumber just screwed the brackets to the wall and the radiator slotted straight on, no messing. It is painted to such a high standard I have not had to paint it to match our newly decorated room. Thank you very much ASAL UK I would recommend you any time."
"Just a quick note to say how pleasant your delivery driver was. He carried the radiator upstairs and ensured that it was the correct shape and explained that it had been pressure tested after manufacture. All in all your company has been a pleasure to deal with and I will definitely recommend to others."
"I am writing to thank you and your company for pushing my order through quickly to assist my elderly parents. I was able to arrange for it to be fitted before Christmas and in plenty of time to keep them warm during the adverse weather conditions of the last few weeks. My parents are very pleased with the look of the radiator and its performance. They do like to be warm. We are grateful for the excellent service provided by your company and would recommend you. The delivery driver gave clear and useful advice about fitting. "

Look around in the new Art Venture and you will see collaborative student artwork on display. From the "Enchanted Roanoke" 10'x5' mural to the origami mobile, 9th-12th graders from the Center for Visual Arts and Museum Studies have participated in collaborative art projects. From November to February each group spends 30 hours at the Taubman learning about our collections and museum careers, meeting artists and curators, and engaging in a collaborative project. This is a four year program that is taught at the Burton Center for Arts and Technology, Roanoke County Public Schools.
As part of the giant dry erase board, I wanted to use the space at the top as inspiration for children as they create and imagine below. The concept is to have a mural that changes quarterly and connects to an exhibition. "Enchanted Roanoke" is a collaborative project created by the Center for Visual Arts and Museum Studies senior class of 2012. Eight students planned, developed, and executed this mural specifically for Art Venture. Inspiration for this mural comes from the fantastical creations of Mark Cline, which served as the basis for the creatures found in this mural and many of the popular landmarks found around the Roanoke area. The students used marker and pastel on a vinyl canvas to create a vibrant, dizzying array of colors that help capture an eye-catching fantasy which is sure to delight viewers of all ages.

Old Symposia Never Die, They Become a Forum!
When you have as much gray hair and have worked in our industry as long as I have, you can benefit from looking back over a working lifetime of different conferences, summits, and even symposia. These range from small private seminars in exotic locations (I will not mention locations in case my boss is reading!) to large scale commercial events. My office and indeed some rooms at home are full

This week Blizzard confirmed they will soon allow players of their MMO juggernaught World of Warcraft to pay for the privilege of re-customizing the look of their avatar. For an undisclosed fee you will have the chance to change the aesthetics of your character; presumably with the same skin tone, facial features, and haircut options you had when you first started the game. Blizzard's Lee Sparks explained that they will be charging for this feature because they don't want their members doing this "all the time. The same thing goes for (the existing) paid character transfer, we don't want people bouncing back and forth."
This will work perfectly with my machinima series, "Death of a Tuaren Salesman", where my Tauren Shaman ages progressively and starts to lose his horns as he moves towards level 80. Look for it in an off-broadway production opening in Old Town Stormwind sometime this year.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — Alan Dershowitz was only 25 when he joined the Harvard Law School faculty in 1964, and three years later he became the youngest full professor in the law school's history.
Now, 50 years later, the internationally known scholar and high-profile defense and civil-liberties lawyer plans to step down at the end of this week. No one, including Dershowitz, seems to think that the word retiring accurately describes his future.
"Yeah, I'm really retiring," he said with a laugh. "My retirement consists of reducing my schedule down to only about 10 things at any given time."
Dershowitz, 75, spoke by phone from Israel, where he was speaking at a conference.
He said he plans to continue to juggle between two and three legal cases at a time and write books — he's in the process of penning his 31st.
The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, he is well-known for his work in criminal and constitutional law. He also has made a name appearing on television shows and working as a defense attorney on famous criminal trials, including the O.J. Simpson and Claus von Bulow murder cases.

I was injured in an auto accident and was recommended to hire Linda Sweeting. She was attentive, fast-acting and was on top of my case to insure that I would receive my compensation as quickly as possible.
I was happy to find out she wasn't an "ambulance chaser." She's a decent lawyer and I would recommend her to colleagues, family and friends.

Students from seventh through twelfth grade at the school where I teach are interested in comics. Actually, I have recently learned that the correct term for these books is graphic novels. I see them reading during lunch, on the school bus, and sometimes they even try to sneak reading them during class. I love when I see the kids so excited to read.

"Where Eagles Soar" is the latest release from the Portland based free jazz ensemble Tres Gone. It is far-reaching without being far-fetched.
Tres Gone is comprised of Scott Steele, Eric Hausmann and Mike Mahaffay. The current CD also features national and international friends.
"A Gathering of Spirits" is the appropriately named first track as it conjures images of different cultures and mindsets coming together in unity of purpose; that purpose being enlightenment. Steve Gorn on flute and clarinet creates a multifaceted and layered approach to the theme that reminds me instantly of John Coltrane's "The Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost."
Mike Mahaffay's brush work on the drums is nuanced and balanced while Eric Hausmann and Scott Steele create a throbbing under-layment on guitar synthesizer and guitar that is fascinating.
Mike Mahaffay has learned balance and nuance from his vast musical experiences. As he says of himself, his musical journey has taken him "from burlesque to symphony halls and everywhere in between." He has studied jazz and classical and has performed as a member of the Oregon Symphony Orchestra.
Eric Hausmann is an eclectic guitarist who has engaged in just almost every style of music conceivable. Hausmann has forayed into experimental soundscapes, jazz, electronica, and even dub.
"A Gathering of Spirits" crossed almost seamlessly into Valentine's Day Raga. John Jensen continues on trumpet and, in fact, sets aside his more famous trombone for the entire CD.
John Jensen has performed with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and has performed with the McCoy Tyner Big Band. He was also a featured soloist with the United States Navy Band for twelve years in addition to playing for ten years with John Previti's "Mingus-Monk Tribute Band."
It is his trumpet that seizes the pulse while Scott's guitar work is almost frenetic, except that there is no loss of control. Scott is clearly in complete mastery of what transpires and only a complete mastery allows him—and indeed all of Tres Gone—to maintain discipline where no structure exists. This is Free Jazz at its finest. The piece is then augmented by Michael Stirling's tambura and vocals. Because of those vocals, the raga begins to emerge and carries through to the end. A brilliant fusion of Free Jazz and raga.
Scott Steele grew up on 60's surf music and graduated to fusion and progressive rock in the 70's. He plays fusion, rockabilly and even country in his assorted gigs and this enables him to bring a vast vocabulary into this free jazz forum.
"Burnt Whiskey Sky" begins the seven track run of studio sessions which include Fred Chalenor on bass alongside Steele, Mahaffay, Jensen and Michael Lastra who supplies the theramin and sampling.The rhythm section holds down a more classic jazz structure as the melody makers break into freetstyle. Steele's distinguishable guitar assumes a rightful place of extension and exploration. It is not quite clear whether or not this contains real or imagined allusions to Frank Zappa's "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" but feel free to indulge in far-flung associations.
On "String Theory," John Jensen emerges on piano and Lastra supplements the melody with warbling samples and effects. Mahaffay returns to the brushes and Chalenor's bass provides the heartbeat beneath. The piece intentionally breaks down into separate approaches from piano, bass and drums and concludes in satisfying disassociation.
There is a humorous, if not hilarious, twisting in "Gershwin Stumbles." The song's title is given vivid melodic and rhythmic imagery. The back-dropped nod to "Rhapsody in Blue" then moves to the forefront only to be suppressed again as Gershwin has not only apparently stumbled but has fallen and knocked himself out cold.
"Mercurial" and "Quorum" and "Jumping Out" allow the development of the Free Jazz forum and it is impossible not to be reminded of Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman or Cecil Taylor at their most adventurous. While these three songs do not specifically comprise a suite, there is a logical progression from the first to the third in terms of framing and cadence.
Fred Chalenor opens the first song and closes the third and, running between those two events, are some of the most intriguing and engaging runs and riffs from Steele and Jensen. With all of that, it is sometimes difficult not to focus on the intricate drumming by Mahaffay.
The final track is "This is a Birdy Party," one of the first recordings for the current CD. Of the personnel on the rest of the recording, only Mahaffay and Jensen remain on this track joined by Mike Moss on soprano sax, Rick Wadman on vibes, Lenny Oldeboom on keyboards and vocals, and Angel Wolff on violin.
This track is reminiscent of something more progressive than free jazz. It reminds of Robert Fripp's" Exposure" album. The experimentation remains and actually frames a fitting conclusion to the album in general.
It is a brilliant album conceived and performed by truly brilliant musicians.

The Savoy Years and More
No male jazz or pop singer, not even Ray Charles drowning in his own tears or Frank Sinatra in the wee small hours, has expressed heartache as movingly as Little Jimmy Scott. After joining Lionel Hampton's band in 1948, the diminutive balladeer hovered at the margins of the music business for over four decades before starting to receive the recognition he deserves in the '90s. Although his expressiveness remains undiminished, his cracked, quavery voice makes listening to more than one or two tracks of his recent CDs a daunting experience.
The Savoy Years and More, a three-disc collection, contains 66 sides Scott cut for that label and for Royal Roost between 1952 and 1975. It resurrects considerable material unfamiliar to all but the singer's most passionate devotees-15 tracks previously issued only as singles and eight hitherto unreleased masters.
This is Scott at the peak of his game, his high-pitched voice caressing love songs in the idiosyncratic style that influenced young Nancy Wilson and actor Joe Pesci when he attempted a singing career as Scott-clone Little Joe Ritchie. All but a handful of the performances are ballads; Scott's technique of lagging far behind the beat ill serves him on up-tempo numbers. Although Terry Gibbs, Budd Johnson, Charles Mingus, Bucky Pizzarelli and other notable instrumentalists appear as accompanists, the spotlight remains fixed on Scott.
Scott and his longtime producer Fred Mendelsohn amassed a peculiar repertoire, combining standards that became signature pieces ("When Did You Leave Heaven?," "Imagination") with some of the most inane songs ever written ("Recess in Heaven," "Am I Wrong"). No matter what the quality of the material, Scott attacked all with total conviction. As a consequence of his piercing, all-out emotionality and the slow tempos, this collection is best assimilated in small doses. Listening to any of the three hour-plus discs straight through could result in tinnitus and depression.
The best introduction to Scott's art is Rhino's Lost and Found, a CD anthology drawn from two albums (one never released) that he recorded for Atlantic in 1969 and 1972. Perhaps the finest of all Scott efforts-an LP briefly available on Ray Charles' Tangerine label then withdrawn because of a contractual dispute with Savoy-has yet to appear on CD. The Savoy Years and More is manna for Scott completists, who deserve better than Isabelle Wong's amateurish package design and Billy Vera's self-involved liner notes that devote a page and a half to his own Hollywood social hobnobbing before even mentioning Scott's name.

SANDUSKY — The Coast Guard suspended a search Friday night for a missing Sandusky-area doctor who was presumed to have been in Lake Erie after his boat was found adrift west of Cleveland.
The search was suspended at 9:58 p.m. and was not expected to resume Saturday, the Coast Guard said.
Dr. Michael Leslie, 43, of Perkins Township was reported missing Thursday at 7:17 p.m. by his wife.
The Coast Guard said it suspends a search and rescue after a search area is saturated several times and a person missing is still not located.
Search efforts were concentrated near Lakewood, a suburb just west of Cleveland.
Dr. Leslie, a neurologist and internal medicine specialist, left from the Sandusky Yacht Club. A U.S. Coast Guard boat crew found Dr. Leslie's 31-foot cabin cruiser about a mile north of Lakewood, about 9:15 a.m. Friday.
Because of rough water conditions, the Coast Guard vessel could not get close enough to Dr. Leslie's boat to safely get a crew aboard. Instead, three search and rescue technicians from a Royal Canadian Air Force C-130 Hercules airplane parachuted and swam to the boat, authorities said. Nobody was found on the boat.
Authorities said it was unclear if Dr. Leslie went into the water.
His wife told authorities her husband was an "inexperienced mariner who ordinarily does not boat in the dark," officials said.
