A pure statement of being and essence – and one of John Coltrane's spiritual masterpieces from the 60s! The 1965 recording was one of Trane's most adventurous so far – as it featured just one album-length track, building up out of relatively free expressions from Coltrane in the studio – initially in the spirit of Love Supreme, but much sharper-edged and unbridled overall – as if the meditative spirit of the previous recording had unlocked a sense of freedom that refused to be tied down to simple structures! The group is great – and features Pharoah Sanders on tenor, Donald Garrett on bass clarinet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums – plus a bit of flute and percussion from Joe Brazil. The playing is much freer than on other albums of the time, but also has some introspective spiritual moments – clearly inspired by the Love Supreme recording, but taken a shade outside as well!

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Austin looks like a beast. I wonder if it's the injuries that have been holding him back or something else?
Austin looks like a beast. I wonder if it's the injuries that have been holding him back or something else?
sooooooooooooo why are we keeping webster?
I'm very much an amateur when it comes to salary cap 101. I do not envy Reese with the task he has with re-signing or not re-signing our free agents this offseason.
But I would like to see Beatty, Boothe, Bennett, Cruz, KP , A Brown and S. Brown. I dont know how it would affect our cap number for 2013, but I would not be upset if Diehl, Webster and Tuck were shown the door if they could not take a pay cut.
I would like to see the defense addressed most in the offseason, either draft or FA(we probably cant afford too much). In my opinion, the offenses needs a few tweaks, nothing major.
Webster had an off year granted; but if he comes back to form next year, we've got a very solid pair of corners. There always seem to be these hidden injuries that hold players back that we never hear about until the season's over. He might fall into that group.
Diehl will probably be gently pushed out the door, he simply isn't worth his contract for next year.
KP will only be resigned if the price is right. He's missed nearly 50% of the games in the last four years. Will Hill is waiting in the wings, and I think the Giants are going to really have to get a good contract from KP to keep him. Brown depends on KP and the salary cap. Keeping he and KP isn't going to come easy or cheap.
Carr is expendable. But, I think they need to keep 3 QB next year, one of them being a young guy with starter potential.
With the money Cruz is going to be looking for, and the salary cap situation we're in, something's got to give, and we're going to see some popular players being released or signing elsewhere, there isn't a whole lot that can be done about that. We've got to put some faith in the reserve players, and the draft.
Andre Brown is a possible surprise loss. I think he is a great runner when he's healthy; but he can't seem to stay on the field for many games in season. Torain may have been a cheap pick-up with the potential to replace him.

Giants 27-20
Niners message board staff are *****made for not even allowing opposing fans onto their forums...
Meh, I wouldn't want to join that sorry excuse of a board. Seems like you wouldn't have intelligent conversation with those delusional fans. They finally put together a good team and they think they are the second coming, hopefully we expose them next week.
Some are saying blowout, but for most part a lot of them are realistic. They say that the giants tend to play to level of their opponent and also that Eli is playing with confidence and he makes adjustments and reads like no other.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
They aren't scared of us at all and they think the 49ers will have revenge for last year. I don't blame them for thinking they'll win because they do have the tools to be very successful like they have been so far.
Hi Giants fans, I'm from the 49ers.com MB. There are classless, clueless fans in every fanbase so you can discount them (please). The majority of our MB family believe the Giants will be our toughest game so far this season. We have beaten some underachieving teams in the Pack and Lions and also some pancakes in the Jets and Bills but we are not delusional to think this will not be a tough game.
Keys to the game:
1st the Giants keys to victory
Giants must try to run the ball and not abandon that plan. Eli is a great QB but the 49er D feasts on teams that bring in a 1 dimensional attack. Our pass rush has not been as potent as last season so far but our backend is playing at a much higher level than last season. Every team we've beaten this year has given up on the run and I believe that is what has cost them the most. The Vikings just out muscled us and ended up rushing for over 160 yds so I believe this is the key to beating the 49ers.
Giants must get pressure on Alex Smith. Alex has shown this season that when he has time to pass he can get the job done. Pressure (especially up the middle) bothers Alex and will keep him from taking shots down field.
Force the 49ers to Pass. If the 49ers can be effective running the ball this game is as good as lost for the Giants. The 49ers are a run first team and if they find success they will run the entire game and could care less about putting up passing stats. If the Giants can't slow them down they have no shot. Also the 49ers love to run the trap play for over agressive DL, so this is something the Giants need to watch.
49ers Keys to Victory
49ers must control the tempo of the game. If the 49ers can control the clock and run the ball this improves their chances greatly. 49ers must run the ball to setup playaction and get 1-on-1 matchups on the outside and for Vernon Davis.
Must win 3rd down. If the Giants Offense is allowed to sustain drives this will play into the Giants hands. The Giants strength is their Offense and the more the 49ers keep them on the sideline the better.
Protect the ball. The 49ers play a conservative style of Offense and rely on limiting scoring for opposing Offense. The achilles heel of the 49ers is if they fall behind they struggle trying to recover. Special Teams Turnovers was the difference in their last meeting with Giants.
My prediction is 20 - 13 49ers. We are not all delusional and crybabies about last season. Yes we feel we could and should have won the NFCC but we didn't and you guys deserve the credit and deserve the SB. Hope for an injury free, competitive game. Good Luck!
Great points Chuy. I especially agree with the Giants needing to stop the 9ers run game & force Smith to beat us with his arm. On Offense, we need to stay with the run even if they are stopping it. We need to throw on 1st down to set up 2nd-3rd & short situations. Hopefully Nicks is back for this game as that will open up our potent passing attack even more. 9ers fans know this is the toughest opponent they have yet to face this yr & one that has played them tough both times in their house & while we lost the 1st battle up there, we won the war in the NFCCG. And remember, you may win this game, but the Giants have a proven history of losing to a certain team in the regular season, but beating them in the post-season.

I love you guys. He gets in and Strahan doesn't and now he's one step above Satan.
Calm down everyone.

strahan and sapp having words on twitter. read all the way to the bottom..Sapp is bum and shows no class
I totally agree with the idea that record may stick in some voters minds, but I have to think that Sapp has far, far more negatives that would get him eliminated first.
So at least in this vote, I eliminate it as a factor.,
I believe that Sapp has a fairly unique factor: ask 100 people that know the phrase "3 technique" who had the biggest impact on the position, most will say Sapp.
Ask the same 100 about the DE position, and...well, I loved the guy, but he ain't gonna be considered THE GUY by many.

Let's feast! Honoring St. Ignatius Loyola
By Chris Jenkins
Joe Simmons, S.J., Arts '04, says the tradition of honoring saints with feast days can be traced back to the early days of Christianity, when martyrs and other holy Christians were honored on the anniversaries of their deaths.
One such martyr's death was placed in the Roman calendar on February 14 by Pope Gelasius (c. 496 AD), which established the feast of (you guessed it) St. Valentine.
The tradition evolved over time as days were designated to honor a wide range of saints throughout the year.
"It's a way, and a day, for recognizing people who've responded to God's call," says Simmons, who is training for the priesthood as a Jesuit and will teach philosophy at Creighton University this fall.
Observers in different countries emphasize certain feast days, although you don't necessarily have to be from Ireland to be familiar with the feast of St. Patrick on March 17. In Germany, the feast of St. Boniface on June 5 takes precedence.
"It's sort of like a hometown hero makes it big," says Simmons, who writes a regular blog for The Jesuit Post.
And in the Jesuit community at Marquette and around the world, perhaps no feast day is bigger than July 31 the feast of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, who died on July 31, 1556.
This year, Marquette will mark the occasion with a Mass and reception. And if that isn't festive enough, Simmons recommends celebrating with a nice steak and good wine.
July 31 is a reason to party for Jesuits, too within reason, of course. Simmons recalls his days as a Jesuit novice, when he and his classmates performed a humorous scene from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream for 50 Jesuits at a lake house in Waupaca, Wis., to mark the feast of St. Ignatius.
"It's kind of like Christmas for Jesuits," he says.

ClimateOne zings PA on housing
Original post made by Steve Raney, Crescent Park, on Mar 28, 2013
Gabriel Metcalf, the Executive Director of San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR) started off by stating that climate was the number one challenge of our era. "Coastal cities are facing an existential threat that we are not prepared to deal with."
At around 15 minutes into the podcast, Carl Shannon, Managing Director at Tishman Speyer, laments that there are suburban cities with real-estate markets that will support dense transit oriented housing to minimize per-capita GHG. "You look at downtown Palo Alto. We could build 15 story condos on University Avenue. We could sell that out overnight. But there is no political will. Palo Alto has that living, thriving downtown that people want. It has office rents that are the highest in the Bay Area. So economically, the engine is there. But you have to find economic desire and political will."
Host Greg Dalton: "Gabe Metcalf, you have to presume that people in Palo Alto get climate change. They get the carbon imperative. And they'd like to solve the problem … just not in their backyard. People are not willing to make personal tradeoffs for the common good."
Gabriel Metcalf: "I don't think they do get it. Because I just can't believe that if people understood the impacts of their actions they would be making this choice that will be so murderous on future populations. If they understood, they would allow new residents to live in apartments in their city. I can't believe that human nature is bad - if they understood the impact of denying that [smart growth to protect the climate - the core of modern regional planning practice] then they would change their mind." "There is somehow the idea that you should not have to be inconvenienced by even seeing a new building within your line of sight. That is too much to ask for the sake of fighting climate change. I know they're not Republicans. I just don't know what it is."
Greg Dalton: "We got in here first and close the door after us."
Dalton then quotes Paly High grad Peter Calthorpe's statements about NIMBYism opposing new residents based on class and race.

Not sure the NIMBys opposition is based on race or class. I think it is just a matter of "we have ours, to hell with envy one else", while remiscing about how wonderful things were 10/20/30 years ago.
Times change, but for some long time residents hate change and therefore are against new things and new people

Ii think Palo Alto residents get climate change and I don't think to resistance to dense housing is just NIMBY. I was in San Jose last week and there are some very nice looking, huge apartment buildings. Unlike some of the proposed spots in PA, these complexes are on wide streets ( think El Camino, not University or Alma), the are more traditional in style (not the "statement" buildings that our City Council and ARB seem to want, just warm buildings with amentities like gyms, pools and open spaces with pretty landscaping).
The big difference is that the buildings are located on streets that can handle their mass and they are appealing to the masses and not just design professionals. University is a small two lane street, it could definetly handle taller 3-4 story buildings, but 15 stories would turn University into a cold cave. Builiding large apartment complexes on Bayhore, Page Mill, Foothill, or El Camino, ( what about all that open land that Stanford owns along El Camino?) makes sense.

Due to the fact that all of us paid outrageous prices for our homes, some of them substandard buildings on substandard lots, just to be here and get the best public education for our children, we feel that a certain quality of living should be maintained for all that expense.
Considering that most of the air pollution here is due to the fact that more people work in PA , than live here, and all those people drive here, and some of them steal our parking in front of our houses, the thought of high density living here makes many of us cringe. Why? Because we are already sacrificing so much to be here, and the crowding/crime/traffic that high density developments and urbanization cause will just make living here miserable.
At that point, it would no longer be a sacrifice to pay mega-bucks to live here, but simply not worth it, no longer desirable, aside from the education standpoint. And chances are, that will deteriorate, too, with crowded schools.
Our property values, so hard fought for and earned, would drop drastically, causing many of us to lose our investment. Our school quality would probably drop, making our sacrifices in vain.
Of course we want to maintain the status quo, otherwise all the hard work, sacrificing, and prioritizing would be for nothing. it simply would not be wrth it to destroy the standard of living here, which for many of us is not that good in spite of the money spent, to allow high density developments.
Back in the nineties, a friend in the insurance business told me that the way the insurance companies look at it, high density housing equals greater risk, greater crimes, more claims, bad investment. To make up for that, owners of such housing pay disproportionately high rates.

Been There: Very interesting comments in light of the comments from the ClimateOne podcast.
1. Let me first set out Jay Thorwaldson's perspective, which is "both sides have legitimate points and it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy both sides:"
Weekly Editor Jay Thorwaldson started as a Palo Alto Times reporter in 1966, has covered ABAG, and has encyclopedic knowledge of historical Palo Alto land use decisions. Jay wrote a 1968 article on Palo Alto's jobs/housing imbalance, with 2.4 jobs for every household in those days. Jay's take on Palo Alto's current jobs/housing imbalance: "Well-intentioned and environmentally conscious Palo Alto has restricted housing to create a terrible environmental situation with long commutes wasting fuel. It's an insoluble situation. Long commutes damage the social fabric and create lower quality of life. Workers are forced to commute from Manteca, etc. Palo Alto has a drawbridge mentality. Compounding the insolubility, objections raised by neighborhood associations are legitimate."
2. Been there, I think you corroborated two of the main points from the ClimateOne podcast, but I wonder if you might reconsider:
2A. You seem to amplify Dalton's comment, "We got in here first and close the door after us." I should add that Proposition 13 makes this drawbridge approach the economically rational one, as fighting new housing in Palo Alto creates housing scarcity that raises home values while long-tenure residents enjoy low property taxes.
2B. You seem to corroborate Metcalf's point, "they don't get it," in that your comments ignore the ClimateOne points completely. Surely you can agree with Thorwaldson's perspective?
2C. As far as the Calthorpe point, I'm sure you are not a racist, but others use "high density leads to crime" as coded wording.
As far as your concern that high density housing will lower property values, Berkeley's Robert Cervero was recently quoted on NPR for a new study that shows dense housing by transit has held it's value better than other housing products. Your 1990's insurance friend's comment is refuted by peer-reviewed, on-the-ground, 2013 transit oriented development real-estate values.

"Coastal cities are facing an existential threat . . ." ??
"People are not willing to make personal tradeoffs for the common good." ??
". . . making this choice that will be so murderous on future populations." ??
Whoa on the guilt-trip. I'm not buying it. And I vote.

The comments in the article ("fifteen story buildings") are ridiculous. I don't know the intentions of the people involved, but, the result if tall buildings will just be to make real estate developers happy, not the rest of us. You can achieve very high densities with just five story buildings-- you don't need 15 stories.
I would be perfectly fine if there were lots of five story condos in downtown PA-- if only we could figure out how to keep the residents from owning cars. But, history has shown that we have no way to do this-- with the best of intentions, it turns out that there is almost one car per working adult.
The problem with the approach of ABAG, SPUR, etc., is that this isn't Manhattan, and it just isn't feasible for most people to go shopping and go to work without driving. If you live in PA and work in Mtn. View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, or San Jose, you will be driving to work in most cases unless the company happens to be located next to a few CalTrain stations.
There is no way we should be adding more housing in PA -- there is no more room for the cars. It already takes 30 minutes to go 5 miles through rush hour traffic. Why are they picking on PA again anyway -- go put the fifteen story buildings in Mtn View, Sunnyvale, or Santa Clara.

It's great to see SPUR leadership is so level-headed #:^)
Despite Gabriel Metcalf's lunatic statements, I'm on his side on this one, but not for environmental reasons. PA needs to build out more housing in order to meet demand, pure & simple. No one can afford to live here anymore.

A LOT do people set their priorities in such a way ( such as putting education first) that they manage to marginally afford living here. The majority of residents are NOT zillionaires, it just seems that way because of all the publicity and attention zillionaires get.

If you want to help the climate, building 15 and 20 story buildings isn't the answer.
What the entire peninsula needs is an underground subway system like the tubes in London then we can ban cars like London and all travel by public transportation. When I lived in London, like many Brits, I never owned a car and was able to travel everywhere by tube, train and bus. It's a totally different lifestyle which I don't think Americans can adapt to.
Incidentally, my son is a climate scientist for the Desert Research Institute and laughs at his childhood hometown's pathetic attempts to be environmentally correct, so I'll send him all this.

One problem is that these zealots are blind to the tradeoffs they are demanding, some of which are environmentally unsound.
True, in a city like Manhattan or London, people can rely on good public transit systems and get around without cars. High density in that sense is environmentally positive: people aren't driving pollution-emitting cars. However, cars only account for a small percentage of vehicle pollution, and these cities suck up a huge amount of resources from the surrounding areas. People don't have gardens; they can't grow their own food or compost. Everything they need for day-to-day living, including water and power, must be transported from elsewhere.
High density increases greenhouse gas emissions.
I encourage everyone who cares to read "The Best Laid Plans" by Bob Silvestri. If our goal is to do what's best for our environment and our community, we need to find a real, long-term solution. Stack and pack serves the needs of politicians, not people.
a resident of Professorville
on Mar 31, 2013 at 8:58 pm
Think about how bad high-density living is for growing children: unsafe streets, no safe play area, overcrowded schools, smog to breathe, too many shadows from tall buildings blocking sunlight, etc, etc..... Does anyone really want to raise their children on such an environment?
There was an article in the NY Times two years ago about this, and how a citizen of NY City needs $500,000/ year to put children on private schools, because inner city schools are substandard, and to have a vacation home elsewhere to go to on weekends and holidays so that the kids can have clean air and water. also to pay the ungodly high rents in a decent neighborhood in a big city,

It's good to see the big time money makers are on the job. Wouldn't want those millionaires to suffer now, would we?
Our quality of life isn't important.
The idea that tall buildings and dense housing is good for the environment is stupid, self-serving, money-driven, nonsense.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 1, 2013 at 2:44 pm
Anyone who owns even a small fixer-upper in a bad location here in Palo Alto is a millionaire.
There are a lot of millionaires here who live like poor people to their kids can be well-educated and get out of the crumbling middle class rut their parents are in.
a resident of Esther Clark Park
on Apr 2, 2013 at 8:23 am
I hate living in big cities. I live here because you can see the sky, the trees, rolling hills. I feel boxed in in big cities. Palo Alto has grown tons in the last couple of years. More and more buildings being built right up to the side walks. If this keeps up it will lose it's appeal. I too live in a scrawny little house not because of the great schools and not because of property values. I LIKE the small town atmosphere. I like having a little land around me even though the yards in Palo Alto are very small. I like that nobody lives above me or below me. That I live in a house not a condo or an apartment. It would be sad to lose this great town to overzealous developers. I would move to a smaller city if Palo Alto gets too big.

Very nice area, quiet but still close to just about everything. Friendly and generous accomodation in Alessandros good care. Clean and nice room!
We had a wonderful time in Rom and thanks to Alessandro for his apartment and his support. We really loved to got this nice room not far from vatican and central city of Rom. The local public transport was very next to our room and we used them often. We were happy that we select this lodging by using WIMDU.
We had a very pleasant stay here. Nice and comfy room with own bathroom and a nice large bed, everything was clean. Alessandro was very kind and helpful. Cosy kitchen where you can eat your breakfast. Trainstation nearby which can take you to trastevere in only 2 minutes. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to have a comfortable stay for a good price.
It was a very pleasant stay at Allessandro's bed and breakfast. Our train arrived at 23:00 in Rome and it was no problem that we arrived at Allesandro at 00:00 o'clock. The room was decorated very nicely and everything (including the private bathroom) was very clean. We could use the kitchen with all the equipments and every morning there was a lot of food and drinks. We could even use a laptop. The bed and breakfast is not exactly situated in the heart of Rome, but it's a nice neighbourhood next to Trastevere with good connections to all the curiosities like the Colosseum and the Vatican. We would definitely reccomend the place to other people!
HIGHLY recommended place.
Nice, clean and lively building -the neighbours were friendly and helpful the one time we needed them.
Very close to the train station and a couple of bus stops, so that was a plus. Keep in mind that you'll have to use at least two different means of transport to get to the "center" of Rome -or you could just walk half the distance, like we usually did.
The apartment itself was clean and comfortable.
Breakfast, fridge, stove, coffee machine, towels, hair drier, a fan and even a laptop were provided.
Used to staying in hostels, these were all welcome additions.
Funny locks throughout the building, takes some time getting used to. Kind like playing an adventure game, lol.
Didn't actually get to meet Alessandro, Emanuela was very helpful though :)
Greetings, Christos
Very nice place to stay during our visit in Rome!
Alessandro, thanks again for your concern when we were lost in Trastevere!
The room was clean and comfortable!
If we ever return to Rome, we hope to see you again!
Greetz, Bernarda and Sifra
The Alessandro homestand was great. All quite as clean. The Breakfast is fantastic. I recommend it 100%
Prima geregeld, bed sliep heerlijk. Dicht bij tram en trein. Aanrader is het (familie)restaurantje naast de B&B. Alessandro is heel flexibel qua in- en uitchecktijden.

Cubs acquire Miguel Montero from Diamondbacks
The Chicago Cubs have acquired All-Star catcher Miguel Montero from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a deal that has been in the works for a while now. Seen as one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, Montero will also upgrade a catching position in Chicago that was less-than-stellar at the plate last season.

Tears of relief and shouts of joy rang out last week at the San Jose mine in northern Chile as 33 miners were lifted to freedom, one by one. The men, ranging from 19 to 63 years old, have been buried alive since a cave in the copper and gold mine they were working collapsed on August 5. It is the longest time anyone has ever survived being trapped underground.
Buried Alive
After the collapse, the men found an emergency shelter off one of the mine's tunnels. The temperature in the dark shelter was around 90°F. For more than two weeks, the miners' water came from the radiator tanks on their work vehicles. They shared a supply of food that was meant to last for only 48 hours.
The miners were totally isolated until rescue teams made contact with the men on August 22. They sent a note to the surface explaining their situation. Rescuers drilled small holes to reach the cavern and sent down supply tubes containing food, water, clothes, medicine, fresh air and other supplies. They also received letters from their families, a television set and games.
A Complicated Rescue
Additional collapses slowed down rescue efforts. Finally, a tunnel was built that could fit a 13-foot rescue capsule, called the Phoenix. The escape hole measures 28 inches across, a tight fit for the twisting 20-minute, 2,041-foot ride. The first miner reached the surface just after midnight on Wednesday. The rescue mission was faster than expected, and all 33 men had been brought to safety by late the same day.
The miners were met by family members who were waiting at Camp Hope, a settlement of tents near the mine. Chile's president, Sebastián Piñera, cheered at the scene and hugged the miners. "We made a promise never to surrender, and we kept it," he said. After an immediate medical exam, the men were air-lifted to the nearest hospital for 48 hours of observation.

Excerpt: "Chris Snee underwent surgery on his hip as planned earlier this week according to sources.
The right guard planned to have surgery on his ailing hip a few weeks after the Pro Bowl. Snee played with pain in his hip toward the end of the season but could not pass up on an opportunity to play in the Pro Bowl. He said his injury had "quieted down" enough after the season for him to play but he still required surgery for this upcoming season.
Snee, who recently turned 31, will be entering his 10th season and has missed only six starts in his career. Snee recently told Giants.com that he and his wife, Kate, have been contemplating his future.
"It started after the Super Bowl last year," Snee said last month. "That was when I physically felt shot. I said, 'If I went through that again, I would be done.' This year, it was just the hip; I got rolled up on. It was actually someone falling onto the back of my leg that did the damage. Other than that, I kept myself in great shape and, physically, I felt better than I have in two or three years. " Read more...

Live at Lakeview concerts to return next two summers
April 17, 2013
The Live at Lakeview Summer Music series is expected to return to South Lake Tahoe this summer and next.
The free concerts, which started last year, will take place every Thursday — with the exception of July 4 — at Lakeview Commons from June 20 through Aug. 29, according to a press release from On Course Events, which promoted the popular concert series last summer.
The South Lake Tahoe City Council recognized the music series as a signature summer event Tuesday and directed staff to negotiate a two-year contract with the event company.
"On Course is excited to work with the city again to produce this great summer community gathering," Owner of On Course Events Rob Giustina said in the release.
The Lakeview Summer Music Series drew hundreds of people to the South Shore venue Thursday evenings in summer 2012. The concert series will take place this year from 4:30-9 p.m. and will feature a beer garden, free bike valet and local vendors.
Entertainment includes different genres of music every week.

Patriot's Perspective: Beginning 'school' - the new role of School Readiness Program
Minnesota schools are taking a more aggressive role in offering classes that prepare young children to enter kindergarten ready to learn.
A School Readiness program is a key opportunity for families to enroll their 3- to 5-year-old child in a Minnesota Department of Education (MDE)-sponsored early learning service to prepare for kindergarten.
The Pequot Lakes School Readiness program serves students who are 4 to 5 years old and one year away from entering kindergarten. Students attend class twice a week for five hours per week for 32 weeks, or 160 hours of classroom interaction.
There are four sections of School Readiness offered. Openings in School Readiness remain for fall 2013-14. Call Sarah Tabaka, Early Childhood coordinator, at 218-562-7520 to sign up your child for a preschool opportunity.
The Pequot Lakes School District also offers a Learning Is Fun preschool program for children who are 3 to 4 years old. This program is offered along with a traditional Early Childhood Family Education class that provides instruction for the parent and the child.
The Pequot Lakes School Readiness program and the Learning Is Fun program will implement a new curriculum, Big Day for Pre- K, this fall. The Big Day for Pre-K curriculum focuses on a knowledge theme and a social-emotional theme to provide intentional instruction in all learning domains: social-emotional development, oral language and vocabulary, emergent reading, emergent writing, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, physical development and technology.
The social-emotional themes are integrated into the knowledge theme. Social-emotional themes are cooperation, kindness, responsibility, attention, initiative, self- awareness, curiosity and persistence.
Big Day for Pre-K classes are organized with circle time, learning centers, snack, outdoor time/indoor play time and quiet time.
The thematic curriculum includes Ready for School, My Family, Our Community, Awesome Animals, Imagine It-Make It, Growing Up Healthy, Nature All Around Us and Moving On.
Reading is a big part of the curriculum. Parents will be able to access books online to do additional work with their child from home.
Preparing to enter kindergarten ready to learn has become the work of preschool-aged children and their families. Minnesota legislative support for pre-K education has grown. Minnesota is rolling out a Parent Aware Rating System to assess the level of program quality in early learning services (child care and education based programs).
The Pequot Lakes School Readiness, Stay and Play Extended Day and Learning Is Fun programs have completed the rating process and received a four-star rating. This top level rating indicates that the programs teach from an approved curriculum, evaluate student progress using an approved assessment process and have instruction provided by highly qualified teachers.
To learn more about the rating system, go to www.parentawareratings.org.
Starting in 2014, state-sponsored Early Learning Scholarships will be available in Crow Wing County for eligible families with a preschool-aged child who is enrolled in a high quality child care or early education program that has been accredited by Parent Aware.
Learning is a lifelong process. School Readiness is one step in the formal education journey. As a parent, you have the opportunity to get your child off to the best possible start to their education by signing them up for School Readiness, Stay and Play Extended Day or Learning Is Fun preschool programs.
The Pequot Lakes School programs offer quality education every step of the way.
(Julie Despot is Pequot Lakes Community Education director.)

Hi I agree life is short there are far more important things going on in the world than to be caddy and cruel. Why not try and be understanding of on another, they were business partners wow? How do you say harmful things to your partner? You wonder these girls at this age could be mothers themselves the first time they have to correct their daughters how are they going to talk to them.! what if their daughters if they had them could read what they write? Do they realize the monsters they would. Raise? I would never want to have a kid with those chicks they would raise a hater. Let her rest in peace.
Posted at 1:44 AM on February 10, 2013
This is where part of the problem is.People fill in the blanks.comment on what you know.Nowhere does it say in the reports that she alienated everyone,In fact it doesn't say that at all.It does say that 5 so called friends used social media to TAUNT and bully her.When you have someone who is feeling sad or blow or depressed and then add to the mix hurtful abusive taunting comments intact it is accurately stated by her so called friend why don't you try and kill yourself on Xanax. Wow that would certainly hurt the best of us.Unless your not human.? I raised a 22 year old son.A 20 year old daughter both in college both deans list and phi beta kappa. I have raised my children from little up not to settle differences in an arena such as social media.Nit to call anyone names during a dis agreement. Not to say, you are this or that.Rather to use statements like….I feel you act like this or that. Or start sentences with I wanted you to know when you do or say that I feel uncomfortable with the conversation. My kids have had disagreements with friends it happens.Its how you argue.I will say it again her friends deliberately tried to hurt her with those comments.I am saying that is cruel and of no positive gain.Aggression breeds aggression. Look at the final result. Peace is much healthier for all

What a tragedy…this beautiful young. And vibrant talented woman.Her whole life ahead of her, a family who clearly loves her. Her birthday was Wednesday? What a shame that she cared about a bunch of nobody's.
Unfortunately this group of 5 girls had so much hate a nd were adviously jealous. So jealous?. That they would taunt this beautiful girl and ask her to kill herself…..wow. who is it really that has the mental problems clearly anyone who suggest engaging the thought of suicide should seek professional help.Why would anyone want their friend to end their life. What a false friend.A black Soul. My prayers to the family for your loss. This clearly was not a case of just depression.

Michaele, are you really so ignorant??? Believe me, I am always asking my kids if they would like to talk to a shrink if they need to talk something out and if that would make them feel better! How could you actually try to blame her family??? Maybe she showed no sign of depression, or maybe they offered the shrink and she told them she was fine? You do NOT know the whole story so don't go persecuting her family who I am sure are in severe mourning!!!

Earnings Roundup: P&G, Ford, Panera Bread
Some notable earnings news and related stock moves, with an assist from my colleague Johanna Bennett:
Procter & Gamble (PG) fell about 2.5% after disappointing guidance for the current quarter overshadowed better-than-expected third-quarter profit, though sales were below estimates.
WellPoint (WLP) rose 4% after beating estimates and raising its full-year outlook. Revenue rose 15%, but WellPoint lowered its full-year top-line estimate to the lower end of its previous range. As Bloomberg noted:
The results marked a good start for new Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Swedish, who took over in March, six months after ex-CEO Angela Braly left amid investor complaints over earnings. The quarter was helped by one of Braly's last decisions, the $4.9 billion purchase of Amerigroup, which made WellPoint the biggest provider of government-backed Medicaid plans for poor Americans.
Ford (F) stock rose 1.2% after beating earnings and revenue forecasts in large part thanks to a great performance in the North American market.
Panera Bread (PNRA) was down more than 5% after it cut its same-store sales forecast:
Panera, which has more than 1,670 bakery-cafes, now expects same-store sales at company-owned bakeries this year to increase from 4 percent to 5 percent, compared with a prior forecast of 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent, after "severe weather" in the first quarter, according to a statement today.
Profit and revenue for the latest quarter both came in below estimates.
Heart valve maker Edwards Lifesciences (EW) plunged 20% after reporting disappointing earnings and revenue as sales of its Sapient heart valve stumble in the U.S. The company cuts its second-quarter and full-year forecasts. Lazard and RBC downgraded the stock to neutral.

Antibiotic shortage for Lyme disease
The Minneapolis Associated Press (AP) reported Thursday, May 8, that the antibiotic used to treat Lyme disease is in short supply in Minnesota, forcing some clinics to scramble as the tick season arrives.
Doxycycline, ordinarily a cheap drug used to treat many diseases, has been on the national drug shortage list since January. Lyme disease is transmitted by infected black-legged deer ticks that hang out in tall grass, weeds and leaves. Untreated infections can spread to joint, heart and the nervous system.
Due to manufacturing delays and increased demand, costs to buy the antibiotic is increasing dramatically. The cost at a local pharmacy has gone up from $4 to $149.99 for 30 tablets.
Issues surrounding chronic Lyme disease must reach a wider international audience. The DVD "Under our Skin" produced by underourskin.com follows the stories of several individuals with Lyme disease and the doctors who treat them. The film exposes a complex story of politics and conflicts of interest among researchers, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies.
I feel it is my responsibility as a concerned healthcare professional and researcher to speak out.

Hey all,
I only have the one hive (2 deeps) and don't see a lot of pollen on the incomming girls, (if any).
I did take a fast look inside the top deep and saw that the center 5 or 6 foundations have comb built up but not much on the outer ones.
Do you think I need to be giving supplimental pollen patties (I have been giving them 2:1 sugar with a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar, every 3 or 4 days).
At first they took the syrup very fast...but now a lot slower. Is this because there is not enough storage?
Where is a good source locally in the NE of FL to buy the pollen.

Raw: Dramatic Team NZ launch incident
Team New Zealand have damaged their wingsail - a hi-tech and expensive piece of machinery - in a dramatic launch incident in the Viaduct this afternoon. The incident occurred as the team were preparing to fit their wingsail to the platform of AC72 catamaran in gusty conditions. The 40m wing-sail needs to lifted into place by a crane - an extremely fraught process particularly when the wind picks up. It is believed the team lost control of the sail in the hoisting process, and the wing clipped the side of the main building of Emirates Team New Zealand's base. A spokesperson for Team New Zealand was not immediately available, but at this stage it is understood the damage is relatively minor.

Preference for the left and right sock to be of a different style and/or color. Heterosocksuality is often questioned as unnatural in Western society, but was popular among Romans and may have a genetic basis.
Janice's co-workers frequently pointed out her "mistake" of wearing mismatched socks, not realizing that heterosocksuality was natural for her.

Significantly improves immune response
Enhances function of NK cells' DC cells' T-cells' Macrophages and Cytokines
ImmunoKinoko® contains pure Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC®) - one of the world's most researched natural immunomodulators - developed in Japan and used in over 1000 clinics worldwide.
Active Hexose Correlated Compound is a patented extract of hybridized medicinal mushrooms that is uniquely rich in alpha-glucans. AHCC has very high absorption due to its low molecular weight of only 5'000 Daltons.
AHCC is backed by over 25 clinical and in vivo studies published in PubMed-listed peer-reviewed journals and by more than 50 human studies documented in papers and case reports. Research on AHCC has been conducted at highly reputable medical institutions such as the Yale Medical School' Harvard-affiliated Faulkner hospital and U.T.M.D. Anderson. Several trials - including a 269 subject study published in the Journal of Hepatology' a double-blind placebo-controlled published trial on healthy adults' and a Yale Medical School study on healthy elderly patients - have shown that AHCC can increase the number or activity of:
* Natural Killer (NK) cells' the body's first line of defense
* Dendritic cells' which intiate adaptive immune response
* T-cells' which provide backup to NK cells
* Macrophages' which clean up cellular debris
* Cytokines' which activate the immune system

Diary: Foyt back at the track as Meira recovers to finish 12th
A.J. Foyt, four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, will document his team's season in the Izod IndyCar Series in an exclusive online diary for USA TODAY:
Coming back. It's what makes the difference between success and failure. Whether you're coming back from health problems (I've had a little experience with that over the years) or from 'incidents' at the race track, how quickly you recover, and get back at it, is critical.
I've had a lot of comebacks in my career—on and off the track—so I've had a lot of practice with them. I thought Vitor Meira and our ABC Supply team did a great job coming back from several problems we had at the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park this last weekend.
DIARY 2: After heart scare, Foyt pleased with first race
DIARY 1: After 55 seasons, Foyt still has the drive
Yep, my first race of the year had a little bit of everything going on. It was good to be back at the track and a lot of people came up to me and told me they were glad I was back which made me feel good.
We had some problems in practice because the track changed enough from when we tested the ABC Supply car back in March; now it just wasn't getting around like we'd hoped.
We made some changes to the car before qualifying and they helped but not enough—Vitor qualified 19th! We made some more aggressive changes that afternoon and they made the difference because Vitor really liked the car in the warm-up on race morning.
The race started out with a yellow flag for an accident on the first lap. Vitor gained two spots but the really impressive move was by Tony Kanaan who picked up 10! People were griping that he passed before the start-finish line but hey, if race control doesn't catch you, more power to you. They call that a Texas flyer and I've been known to take a few of those in my day.
In the beginning, Vitor found himself following Kanaan who was actually slower because he was on the harder compound tires. When Kanaan pitted on lap 14 to get rid of his black tires, Vitor, who was on the quicker Firestone red-rimmed tires, picked up over a second a lap but he had lost a lot of track position following Kanaan.
Our first stop was under green and the crew turned it around in under eight seconds. In fact the ABC Supply team had quick, consistent stops the entire race — their last one was just a hair over seven seconds. They did a great job all day.
The race was coming together pretty good for us. Vitor had moved up to eighth and it was looking like a second straight top-10 finish. He was doing a great job on the restarts—up until the last one. With just 26 laps to go, Vitor got the bad end of a slide job by his fellow countryman Helio Castroneves. I told my son Larry Foyt who was on the radio with Vitor to warn him about Castroneves because I figured he'd try something. Larry warned Vitor in his calm, cool way. Me? I get a little more excited on the radio.
Vitor tried to guard against it because he knew it was coming which is probably why he was able to keep the car under control when he got pushed into the grass. Six cars went by before he got back on the track. No one said a word… I think we were all so mad, we couldn't talk. If it had been me driving, I probably would have taken Castroneves out even if I crashed my car doing it.
That's where coming back from a bad situation can turn it from failure into success. Once Vitor got his tires cleaned off, he got back up to speed. Larry got on the radio and reminded him that he still had 20 laps to left in the race while I sat there thinking I was glad I was on that strong blood pressure medicine.
Vitor turned his quickest lap of the race during that stint on worn out red tires because he pretty much had the track to himself. He came back to finish 12th with a clean car and stayed in the top-10 in points. I thought my whole team did a great job fighting through the tough situations and coming out the better for it.
But there's a little voice inside me saying 'Turnabout is fair play.'

Why UCL?
Why UCL?
Founded in 1826 to provide higher education 'for all who could profit by it', UCL now has around 13,000 undergraduate and 8,500 graduate students spread over some 55 departments grouped into eight faculties. With subjects ranging from economics to engineering and fine art to physiology, UCL is truly a multifaculty university.
UCL was the third university to be founded in England (originally the University of London) after Oxford and Cambridge. In the spirit of its "founding father", Jeremy Bentham, it was the first university to admit students irrespective of religion or social background, and later, the first to admit women on equal terms with men
With an enviable reputation for its pioneering role in education, dating back to its very foundation, astronomy has been taught here since UCL's earliest days. In 1866 we opened the first laboratory in the country for the instruction of students in Experimental Physics.
Being in the heart of London makes UCL a lively and stimulating place to study. It is close to many renowned libraries and museums, which can add to the educational experience. UCL students have magnificent sports grounds, and are fortunate in having not only their own students' union, but also that of the University of London nearby. Together, the combined range of facilities provides just about everything a student could want.
The College prides itself on being a multi-racial and multi-faith community giving us all the opportunity to learn about, and understand and respect, other peoples views and cultures.
Why Physics and Astronomy at UCL?
Why choose a degree in astrophysics or physics at UCL? The principal motivation for any prospective student should be an interest in the academic and personal opportunities presented by a top-quality degree programme. But in the broader view, we should recognise physics as an essential part of everyday life: when we turn on a light, use a mobile phone, or check the weather forecast, we are reaping the practical benefits of generations of physics research. Astrophysics is, both figuratively and literally, more a 'blue skies' field, but makes demands across a broad frontier of technologies: materials science, optics and electronics. It is tomorrow's requirements for research and development in this wide range of commercial and academic applications that provide the challenge for today's student.
As well as looking into fundamental science, a degree programme in physics or astrophysics goes to the 'cutting edge' of technologies that affect everyone in their everyday life, and equips the student with the tools and imagination to address tomorrow's questions.
You may already be looking at employment prospects, and a science degree from UCL is a strong asset across the whole range of careers where basic scientific skills are required, from accountancy to astrophysics, and computing to cryogenics. Those looking for a deeper understanding of the world whose future lies in our hands, or for marketable skills in the technological society, need look no further.
The 'art' of science is to ask questions for which an answer is within – or just beyond – reach. Today's physicist might be trying to understand how to harness nuclear fusion as a source of limitless, clean power; the evolution of the Universe in the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang; the behaviour of atoms and molecules in planetary atmospheres; or the processes underlying continental drift.
About the Department
Located on the main UCL site on Gower Street, the department has around 60 teaching staff, with about 380 undergraduate and about 125 graduate students. In a recent survey of teaching and research in departments of physics by The Times, special mention was made that 'UCL was the nearest rival to Oxford and Cambridge, its performance enhanced by enviable staffing levels'. There is thus an excellent relationship between staff and students, which finds expression in the joint staff-student departmental committee and in the annual weekend at Cumberland Lodge (where both groups get together for a lively couple of days amidst the beautiful surroundings of Windsor Great Park).
Most of the teaching staff are also active in research over a broad range of disciplines including: astrophysics; atmospheric physics; particle physics; planetary physics; atomic, molecular and positron physics; condensed matter physics; instrumentation. Excellent research opportunities are thus available for those wanting to continue their studies after completion of their first degree.
Having a strong research base also brings benefits to our teaching activities. For instance, many of the course units available later in the degree are directly related to departmental research. For those considering Astrophysics as a degree, UCL's University of London Observatory (ULO) at Mill Hill, which is incorporated in the department.
In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (2008), 60% of research activity in the Department of Physics and Astronomy was judged to be in the highest two categories of either 4* ('world-leading') or 3* ('internationally excellent').
Strong teaching links are maintained with other departments, notably Space and Climate Physics, and Medical Physics and Bioengineering. These broaden the learning opportunities available for all students, as well as allowing us to offer a wider variety of degrees.
The department also has strong and developing links with industry and applied science. We are taking the leading role in the London Centre for Nanotechnology, which opened a few years ago. The centre further strengthens our Condensed Matter and Materials research area and pioneer work in the exciting new field of nanotechnology. Three UCL-wide collaborations have been initiated by our Professors: the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation Systems, the Centre for Materials Research, and the Centre for Cosmic Chemistry. Instrument development for astronomy has resulted in the formation of two companies, based on site, one of which has been awarded DTI 'SMART' prizes for its achievements in transferring technology from the academic to the industrial sector.
Here in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCL we pride ourselves on the commitment we give to our students at all levels. Our programmes of modernisation and development of all aspects of our teaching are continuing as we adapt to the ever-changing world.
Living in London
UCL's main site is in the centre of Bloomsbury, the traditional intellectual heartland of London.
The West End stretches from the College site down to the Thames, and many theatres offer students special discount or standby rates. There's plenty of free entertainment, too such as museums and art galleries, along with frequent live performances at the BBC, the National Theatre, and Barbican – not to mention all the pub venues and the Union!
However for many students considering university in London, worries about the cost of living may deter them from choosing to study here. Although it is a fact that studying in London can be more expensive than in some other parts of the UK, the true picture is often exaggerated.

Knowing how law and technology meet at U.S. borders
Border crossings have long posed a risk for journalists. In many nations, reporters and photographers alike have been subjected to questioning and having their electronic devices searched, if not also copied. But more recently, protecting electronically stored data has become a greater concern for journalists, including those who are U.S. citizens, upon entering or leaving the United States.

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative — Spreading Quality and Containing Costs
The Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI) is one of the nation's first regional collaboratives of medical, business and civic leaders organized to address healthcare safety and quality improvements.
Since its founding in 1997, PRHI has approached quality improvement as both a social and a business imperative. Its core mission is to show that an unwavering focus on meeting patient needs, and on achieving optimal care outcomes, along with simultaneous dedication to efficiency and zero defects, will create maximum value for the patient and for society.
To achieve its ambitious mission, PRHI developed its own process improvement methodology called Perfecting Patient CareSM (PPC) based on industrial engineering principles articulated by W. Edwards Deming, applied early as the Toyota Production System and later known as Lean manufacturing.
Much of PRHI's recent work is detailed in the book, Moving Beyond Repair: Perfecting Health Care (March 2012). Moving Beyond Repair is a call for applying lean-based tools to full functionality in hospitals, physician practices and nursing homes, in order to move beyond targeted problem-solving to transforming the way both organizations and healthcare systems achieve, spread and sustain value. Its goal is to show what's possible and to excite health providers to design their own transformations in the combined interest of quality, safety, and efficiency.

text: Not much activity on this thread so I'll just ad a final note. I shot my new SR40C today for the first time and compared it to my MP40FS. It is a keeper, a great gun. It handles the recoil very nicely. The SR9c was the best-handling 9 mm I tried (in the "small" guns) and the SR40c is showing the same quality dynamics in .40 caliber. It is a CC gun that brings power for use in bad situations. I was alternating with the MP40FS and found it hard to tell any difference between the two guns in any aspect of handling. The trigger in the MP has the shorter throw but the Ruger's trigger is easy to get used to and very effective in combat shooting.
