So, where have we been? Good question. Well, while the 6 amigo/amigas of THATH have been hard at work cloistered in the studio recording what is certainly going to be the best sophomore album ever, we've been cloistered away mentally preparing ourselves for its release. And for all of the press outings, relentless touring, and festivities that are sure to follow. (PS we've heard some of the new album demos, and it sounds DAMN GOOD!!). Stay tuned for much more information on the forthcoming record. In the meantime, we can expect a release date somewhere in the early fall, followed by a large US Fall/Winter tour.
As the band are preparing the album's finishing touches, they've chosen to go light on touring this summer (I'd expect to see THATH at a bonkers amount of festivals in Summer 2014). They have, however, confirmed a number of diverse and awesome festival dates for this summer, which we recap for you here.

How many hrs will the surgery take to remove infected breast implant and to recover
Recovery Removal of Infected Breast Implant How Many Hrs Does the Surgery Take?
Doctor Answers 2
Recovery after Breast Implant Removal?
Thank you for the question.
Removal of breast implants is generally a quick procedure; even with an associated infection the procedure will probably take under an hour. Recovery is generally painless; however, recovery may be prolonged if an infection is present because of the need for dressing changes and/or drain management.
For a more precise estimate you will need to check with your plastic surgeon who knows exactly what is planned.
Best wishes.

Desktop pc mute button
I run 2 pc's connected to a single set of speakers. The main pc sound can be muted from my keyboard but reaching over to mute the 2nd pc is a bit of a pain so I want to install a rocker switch in the 2nd pc case which is right in front of me and would be quick and easy to use. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the best way to wire it...should I try to wire right off the sound card?...is this even possible?
Thanks in advance.
I use two computers, and my keyboard/mouse/video switcher handles the input to the sound as well. Of course I don't use both computers simultaneously, so whichever computer I am using is the only one needs muting.
If all you want is to kill sound from both at once, why not just switch off power to the speakers? Then it won;t matter which signal feeds are live or not.
I often have audio feeds playing simultaneously on both pc's which is why I need the option to mute either or both.
Then a simple A/B/Y switch between the two computer feeds and the speaker input ought to do it for you.

The terms 'big' and 'small' are relative and used as relative to the size of facial features.
If the teeth and facial structures are evenly small, nothing will appear wrong with the smile. The facial appearance is proportionate and aesthetic. The same is true for big teeth and proportionally big facial structures.
Teeth among each other may have structural remarkable differences or the relation of tooth size and jaw size may be disproportionate. Those discrepancies are very obvious and are associated with diastemas, narrow lips, prominent upper and/or lower lip, mouth breathing, deep bites. The mouth
becomes focus of attention in a negative sense.
Aesthetic Dentistry can resolve many of these problems and make patients more confident about themselves.

Sunny side of an angry manStephanie Bunbury
Published: August 24 2013 - 3:00AM
Hofesh Shechter has been thinking about innocence. Is it still possible, in this world of snark and cynicism? Is it possible that he, at the age of 38 and buffeted by the experience of keeping a dance company running to the extent that he thinks he spends more time in meetings than in his studio making actual art, has any innocence left? Recently, he saw Cinema Paradiso, Giuseppe Tornatore's film about a successful director looking back on his happy childhood days at the village cinema. ''It's about innocence,'' he says. ''At the beginning it seemed almost silly; I thought, 'Nobody's buying that.' And at the end I was crying my eyes out.''
That made him wonder: has he kept in touch with the things that matter? He thinks he has, but there is always doubt. ''I really crave pure beauty, whatever that is,'' he sighs, in between mouthfuls of a meal that is serving as breakfast, lunch and rehearsal fodder.
''And sometimes I try things in the studio and I think, 'Oh no, that's bullshit; pure beauty only works in contrast to something else.' That's the beauty: it's the whole. Love is only powerful in a world where you have hate and war; that is what makes it powerful, that it saves us.'' He shrugs. ''Those kinds of thoughts are really bothering me now.''
Last month, just before our meeting, I went to see the vaunted last performance of Shechter's Political Mother, which came to the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts two years ago. Shechter is one of a handful of British-based choreographers, along with Akram Khan and Russell Maliphant, at the very forefront of the vigorous and varied European dance scene.
The days when ''modern'' dance was compared and contrasted with classical ballet are long gone; contemporary dance is a world of its own, as much influenced by cinema, new music and experimental theatre as by the collective memory of ballet steps. Actually, the experience of Political Mother - now even bigger and louder than it was in Melbourne - was more like going to a rock concert than anything else. The stalls at the usually decorous Sadler's Wells theatre had been cleared to create a mosh pit. As the lights went up on Shechter's tiered galleries of ferocious drummers, an equally fierce roar of approval came up from the pit. At the end, when the choreographer himself appeared on stage with his company to take a curtain call, there was a volley of cheers you might expect for Bruce Springsteen or, indeed, any rock star whose oeuvre and personality makes the fans feel like his friend.
The next day finds us in the Sadler's Wells cafe, chewing over questions of innocence and beauty. With his new piece, Sun - which has its world premiere at the Melbourne Festival in October- Shechter is trying to leave behind the ''dark and heavy and angry and serious'' Political Mother and reach for the light. ''There is something that tries to look on the bright side with Sun, something positive,'' he says. ''But because it's me doing it, I'm finding that it's becoming increasingly sarcastic. When I'm watching it in rehearsals … I'm not certain if it's serious or if it's a joke.'' He turns this over for a while. What is positive, in fact? Why does he want to be positive? ''At the same time as doing Sun,'' he says, ''I'm discovering I'm an angry man.''
Shechter is the first to admit to overthinking things. In interviews, he always says he wants audiences to let go, how he wants to sweep them away so that for the hour or two they spend face-to-face with his dancers and the deluge of Shecter's own music, they won't think at all. Following that manifesto himself is another matter.
''I don't know what is wrong with me, but certainly something is,'' he says. ''You know, I always feel creating choreography is a battle between the mind and the instinct, the gut feeling. I'm entangled with all these ideas and, really, what I'm hoping is that I'll suddenly go, 'It's all irrelevant; I'm going to do whatever I feel like.'''
There is a second's silence; perhaps we're both waiting for that dam to break.
It may just be, of course, that this moment of confusion is part of the rhythm of any production. Sun will be Shechter's first major work since Political Mother, which did sweep audiences away and was a phenomenal international success. After its premiere in Melbourne, the new work will make its way back to London. Given Shechter's stature, the premiere is a very big deal for Melbourne. For Shechter himself, the big deal is whether his audience across the world - ''the people who are hoping or expecting or wanting or hating or loving you'' - will like it, whatever it is. But in the next breath, he tells me that the last thing you should do, creatively speaking, is try to anticipate what an audience will want. ''If you start thinking that way, you're lost.''
Despite his exalted place in the British dance firmament, Shechter is Israeli. As a child, he was an early example of a computer nerd who didn't have much to do with the other kids; he was 11 when one of his teachers, in an effort to bring him out of himself, steered him into auditioning for a folk-dancing troupe. They took him, he says, because they would have taken any boy and to this day, he says, he is not a great dancer. He also retains a healthy suspicion of the symbolic role of folk dance in his homeland, as evidenced by the quote ''Where there is pressure, there is folk dancing'' scrawled across the stage in Political Mother.
''But I fell in love with the social side of it,'' he says. ''I had been in my own bubble and it felt like there was a way out.'' When he went to the arts academy in Jerusalem he decided to study dance rather than piano, despite his musicianship; practising piano all day was too much like sitting at the computer.
He went to Britain in 2002 after spending three years with the Batsheva Dance Company in Israel and working in Paris; in that first year he produced Fragments, which toured five European countries. His next work, Uprising, won the audience award at The Place, London's contemporary dance centre. With that, he was established as the new hot thing. The Hofesh Shechter Company dates from 2008.
Is he as hard on his dancers as on himself? ''I really think I'm not,'' he says. ''But the amazing thing about my dancers - and a lot of them have worked with me for four or five years, some of them for six or seven - is that they are demanding so much from themselves.
''I'm always amazed, when we walk into a studio to make something new, they feel this massive responsibility of inspiring me or of giving me enough. They tempt me openly, which is kind of embarrassing - like saying, 'I love you' - by saying, 'We are here for you, to try whatever you want to try.' Sometimes I wonder if I'm pushing them far enough. They are so committed.''
That commitment, that vigorous presence, is one reason Shechter's work can swallow audiences whole. I think about Cinema Paradiso. Shechter loves cinema. He often says its language of montage is his biggest influence, that he edits and cuts movements in a way that echoes cinema. Dance itself, however, dies onscreen. ''It doesn't look very powerful, no,'' Shechter agrees. ''Without being too spiritual and talking about alchemy, there is something - and probably some scientist has tested this somewhere - when you are in a room with someone. There is an energy transfer that is very real. I don't know whether it's the fact that you know they are close, that you can smell them. Are there particles or brainwaves? I don't know, but you can feel it.''
And it's not to do with the theatre or a sense of occasion, he adds; you can feel it in the studio, where he is about to return to wrestle with that playful, humorous Hofesh Shechter he hopes will emerge in Sun.
''Choreography is an experiment, from beginning to end,'' he says. ''So it's quite risky. On good days I'm enjoying that feeling. On bad days I think, 'Oh my god, why don't I just do some movements and put some music to them and that's it?''' He laughs ruefully: as if that would happen. ''But hopefully, you will look at it,'' he says, ''and think, 'Oh, that's so beautiful!'''
■ Hofesh Shechter's Sun is at the Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne, October 12-16.

As we pull the curtains back on what people really are and how they behave ... it is not such a pretty sight. Being cruel becomes the only refuge for people who grow up around inferior people ... the bad forces out the good, and we have a positive feedback loop on bad. I never even heard of anything like most of this stuff as a kid, it was just as unimaginable as someone bringing a gun or knife to school.

With a 17 year old, I have only seen the damage that social media causes. We moved bullying online, where it can be more powerful, hateful and anonymous. And there are no controls, no matter what any parents think!
a resident of Barron Park

In the wake of the Weekly's superb article on social media and how it can harm teenagers, but before asking why we allow this harm in our schools, let's tote up some things forbidden on campus—at Gunn, for example—because they disrupt, distract, or endanger.
If you're a teenager at Gunn, you can't bring your fireworks or water-balloons onto campus. You're forbidden by the student handbook to bring laser-pointers or matches or noise-makers onto campus, because the "presence of inappropriate objects can create a disruption." Nix on the skateboards or bikes, when classes are in session. You can't wear clothing that's too revealing (e.g., bellybuttons banned), because "appearance and dress…shall not interfere with teaching and learning."
Hazing is out. So are t-shirts with profanity on them, or drug insignia. Lay off the streaking or "excessive affection." Unregistered visitors qualify as trespassers; don't go barefoot; and forget about loitering in a restroom.
"But by all means," we are in effect saying to our children, "make use of your electronic device at school—where during passing-periods, and brunch, and lunch, and prep periods, and when you've skipped out of class to use the restroom and not loiter, you can check social media to send and receive gossip, taunts, lewd comments, subtle harassment, anonymous bullying, and naked photos."
"By all means," we say by our silence, "suffer the resulting feelings—which never, ever, will make it hard for you to flourish in class."
a resident of Barron Park

I think it ought to be of the deepest possible concern to our community that, in a week in which two school-related teenage issues—streaking, and the harm of social media—come before the community via the Weekly, the first issue, which is inconsequential, draws an immense amount of public comment and discussion (on this site), while the latter, which is of enduring and painful importance for the well-being of our children, goes virtually uncommented-upon.

Parents seem to have abdicated control - given over to their own screen addiction they no longer try to monitor their children - who are even more vulnerable.
For those with any strength of character. Dont let your kids use social media until they are 18. Dont give them a smart phone. Monitor - indirectly- their computer time at home.
Those were the rules before 2 years ago. They worked fine. Its only now the whole community has given up and been lost to screen addiction.

Mark Vincenti,
The reason it goes uncommented upon is NOT because it is not read.
It is read.
Its just that palo altonians are so used to the free child care that comes from letting their kids online 24/7 that they have nothing to say. Guilty as charged. So silent.
This is an excellent article. I too commend the paOnline for doing this. And share your opinion about the silly streaking.

It is important for the school district to educate all student and parents what to do when one has been cyberbullied. I as a parent don't know if I should contact school or police.
There should be many ways such as 24 hour reporting line, or report online, or talk to the conselor. The program needs to be educated so when such an incident happened, everyone knows what to do.

Okay, Instructional Council, Site Council, PTSA it is up to you to weigh-in on restrictions of electronic devices on campus. Convince the principal that you will support her 100% if she implements restrictions.
And while you are at it what about the open campus - even worse in my opinion.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Japan uses 'alarming' tactics in whale vote
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Anti-whaling nations were one vote short of blocking Japan's efforts to overturn a 20-year moratorium on commercial whaling, Environment Minister Ian Campbell said yesterday.
Before flying out to the International Whaling Commission's meeting in South Korea, Senator Campbell told The Sun-Herald that Japan had been engaging in "disturbing" and "alarming" tactics to strong-arm smaller nations into backing its plans.
Senator Campbell refused to reveal his "intelligence" on the Japanese tactics before Wednesday's vote, saying: "They will be revealed in due course, but what we are hearing is very, very disturbing.
"They don't care if they win by one vote. This is their big chance. The intelligence we've got would scare you to bits. It's alarming."
The complicated process that would allow Japan to overturn the moratorium would begin if it won the go-ahead from delegates to introduce a Revised Management Scheme.
Either 62, 63 or 64 countries will vote. Anti-whaling nations such as Australia don't want a revised scheme on the table, fearing that pro-whaling nations would push to reword the scheme to allow the resumption of commercial whaling.
Senator Campbell said that even anti-whaling nations might cave in on a revised scheme - in the mistaken belief that commercial whaling would remain banned or that only limited whaling be allowed.
In the tactical game that has been played since last year's vote was won narrowly by anti-whaling forces, Japan and other pro-whalers argue that a majority vote to revise the management scheme would be a de facto agreement to reintroduce commercial whaling.
Senator Campbell said he was fearful that countries that had declared themselves as anti-whaling could buckle under Japanese pressure.
Senator Campbell would argue against Japan's push for secret ballots at the meeting. Japan said secret ballots were necessary to allow smaller countries to avoid being "bullied".

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- March 17, 2014
Kevin Kelly (573) 751-9300
Missouri Public Service Commission Supports National 'Fix-A-Leak Week'
Water leaks cost you money–money that essentially goes down the drain. There are several things that consumers can do to conserve water and at the same time save money on their bill.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide. The average household's leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry. About 10 percent of the homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more of water per day. The EPA estimates that fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners about 10 percent on their water bills.
To help consumers find and repair easy-to-fix leaks and to promote conservation, the Missouri Public Service Commission is supporting the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Fix-a- Leak Week, March 17-23, 2014.
"Water is essential to our existence. It is vitally important that we do all that we can to preserve this critical resource," said PSC Chairman Robert Kenney. "Fixing water leaks will not only save money on water bills, it will also help conserve water for future generations to enjoy."
According to the EPA, a good method to check for leaks is to examine your winter water usage. It is likely that a family of four has a serious water leak problem if its winter water use exceeds 12,000 gallons per month.
Here are some tips to save water:
-- Check for leaks. Silent toilet leaks can be found by putting a few drops of food coloring into the tank and seeing if color appears in the bowl before you flush. Don't forget to check irrigation systems and spigots, too.
-- Twist and tighten pipe connections.
-- Replace the fixture if necessary.
-- Install a water saving showerhead; they use one-third the amount of water that a regular showerhead uses.
-- Turn off the tap while shaving or brushing teeth.
-- Keep drinking water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until the water is cool.

The nation of Zimbabwe has suffered more than most countries in the world due to the corrupt and ineffective rule of its tyrant, Robert Mugabe. Millions have fled in search of jobs and food, over three thousand are dead of cholera and over 50,000 infected in a nation whose inflation rate is the highest in the entire world. Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) agreed to join a coalition government knowing full well it would be difficult working with Mugabe. One of his key aides, Roy Bennett was arrested at the airport and charged with treason. Key MDC leaders like Tendai Biti, with gritted teeth expressed their feeling, that the current disaster facing their society, "will make you take a lot of nonsense for their sake."
The African Union stands to the side, the nation of South Africa remains quiet and the people of Zimbabwe suffer without real friends. No protests are heard in the streets of Paris or London for the African people of Zimbabwe. All one can do is cry for the beloved people of this nation.

There are some groups that feel that protein should be calculated by body weight while others believe the calculations should be based upon percentage of total calories consumed each day.
So, who is right when it comes to eating protein?
Unfortunately, there is no real good answer to this question right now.
While it may seem that science knows a lot about protein, the truth is that this is just the beginning of the knowledge needed to formulate the perfect calculation to determine the right amount of protein.
While this doesn't really do those of you who are trying to get your proper nutrition much good, any of the ideas mentioned above will be just fine for calculating your protein.
In fact, the protein gram intake proposed by the USDA is based upon the average weight of an American adult male, adult female, and teenagers. It doesn't leave room for big or small people.
It is for this reason that many people do choose to go by weight. If you want to give this formula a try, then you would need to multiply your weight times by .37. This is a formula devised by nutritionists trying to help their clients eat a well balanced diet.
If you compare this formula to the numbers developed by the USDA, you will see that they do fit right in with an average male of about 151 pounds. What's more, the USDA makes an allowance of up to 30% more than the daily recommendation, if you want to increase your dose. This allowance fits right in with larger individuals.
While some people use their caloric intake to determine how much protein they should eat each day, the formula is flawed. It doesn't leave room for dieting or over eating on any given day. There is no way to establish some consistency using the calorie approach.
Where should I be getting the protein that I eat?
You body likes food, it just the way it was designed. It absorbs the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients important to the body best from food. As such, your first choice for getting the protein that you need should be through food.
This doesn't mean that this is the only viable source, however, it is certainly the first and best choice!
Another source of protein is through protein supplements. The most common type of protein supplement is protein powder. Because most protein powder is made from a food product, it is almost as beneficial as eating food is for the body.
A container of protein powder, which is typically about 5 pounds, contains about 30 servings. However, 2 to 3 servings a day are recommended, which means that, at most, you are getting 15 days out of your powder.
Protein powder is sometimes combined with other nutrients and is used as a meal replacement shake. This isn't always the case and you shouldn't assume that a product is also a meal replacement unless it says so on the label or in the product description.
Should I be eating more protein if I am doing intense workouts?
In general, if you are training hard, meaning hours a day, then you should increase your protein intake to replace some of the additional protein that your body will be using. However, the increase isn't excessive.
Instead of multiplying .37 by your weight in pounds, you should multiply .7 by your weight in pounds. This should be the maximum amount of protein that you should eat. What this means for a 150 pound man is about 105 grams of protein a day. This is slightly higher than what is recommended by the FDA, but not by much.
Once you are done training, you need to reduce your protein back to normal levels. This is because recent studies show that that it is possible for too much protein to cause liver damage. The effects were based on long term use, so if you keep your protein levels at the recommended levels overall, then you should be just fine.

Howard Mellor Grant, were the younger siblings of my grandfather, Ralph Westcott Grant.
Aunt Marion was the wife of George Henry Wood, Jr. They were married in 1920 in Central Falls and lived in the Grant home there until around 1939 when they moved to East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
When I was a kid, we would stop by Uncle George and Aunt Marion's house on our way to Cape Cod. It was from Aunt Marion that I learned alot of our family history but unfortunately I never took notes and was unable to recall much of what she had told me when I started doing genealogy years later. As a kid, it was just a jumble of names of people who I never knew and were no longer living. I remember her showing me many old family photographs, but to me at the time, they all looked the same - lots of black and white photographs of stiff looking people dressed in what to me were formal and funny-looking clothes. Now I have all those photographs and wished I knew who was who in them. Aunt Marion did mark the names on some of them, but not all. I would give anything now to have ten minutes with her - I bet she could give me the answer to many of my brick walls! And I think she would be very pleased to know that even though alot of the family history didn't soak into me back when I was a kid, she did plant a seed in me. It just took many years to take hold.

Its running a Nissan SD33 diesel motor, but I can't find any reference to your Military using short bed K10 type trucks, ..only long bed M1008's. Could it be an aircraft tug? Can anyone advise me if its for real, or is it just a civilian truck camo'd up? Either way it looks like a good deal for us.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261099254877 Cheers, Steve

Out There Revisited by Gaius31dukeWatch

This was originally a very fast loose speed paint. I had to revist it, when it was requested for a book cover.
I think the title Out There is quite evocative and it helps the image speak.
About 5 hours work in total.
C&C very welcome.

And gave me an odd urge to take up base jumping.
Loved the original, the changes give it an excellent 3d depth, the mountains are splendid, lighting is great, but something about the figure now bothers me, maybe its the red color, or maybe the way the cape flows is a bit cartoonish, contrasted to the realistic landscape. Naturally, this is a very minor flaw, and on the whole the piece is quite epic.
Great pic to loose yourself in.
This piece has a mind of it's own, I swear it could take me anywhere just by looking at it, it seems to have an unknown charm that I cant explain!! Simply marvelous!!!
Impressive. Love the sense of scale and depth.
5 Hours is extremely fast to think of a comp, thumbnail it out, and execute the painting, cheers for being able to do that so quickly, this would take me at least double if not triple the time and wouldn't look as good lol. Nice work here
Fantastic vertigo Scenary!....Extreme sensation....Every part of it invite to adventure....Beautiful Job!

Lake Wedowee water level
Posted at 7:40 AM, Apr. 11, 2009
It is Easter weekend and Lake Wedowee is near full pool. With all the rain we have had over the last few weeks, it has been an easy task for this big fish pond to fill up. It is a great time to come visit! According to Alabama Power we are about 3 inches from full pool. Typically Lake Wedowee doesn't reach full pool until May 1 but because of the continuing dry conditions, the Corp of Engineers gave APCO a variance this year which means we get to enjoy the lake earlier than usual.
This also means that the lake properties for sale are lookinng their best as far as water level goes. If you are interested in real estate on Lake Wedowee, visit Leisel and Kelly's main website at www.ILoveLakeWedowee.com! We can help you find what you love no matter if it is a mansion or a cabin! We would love to hear from you!

By the way by battery died after I replaced the starter. It went flat while trying to fix the windows and it was sunday so I decided to get ripped off in Halfords ....€104 compared to £82.99 uk when the exchange rate should be about €86....well anyway. Jump leads didn't work and nobody was around and needed car.
Point is, battery is:
Considering other battery must have been almost wasted to begin with if trying to get windows working flattened it is this battery good enough? Using their online guide I selected it as the mid range one which would suit the car.
Would this and the other flattened battery have any bearing on my dilema? Just throwing it out there...

The Cat Speaks HTML version
"You're obsessing again."
The voice was coming from something in this room. It was eerie
yet somehow not terrifying.
I wanted to respond and ask, "What do you mean by that?".
"There ... you're doing it again," the voice said, the location of its
owner still eluding me.
"What? What am I doing again?" To hell with the neighbours; this
demanded a response.
"Obsessing.... you're really going to make me repeat myself, aren't
"Who the hell are you, anyway?"
"Who the hell am I? You're the one who talks to me everyday ...
several times a day, in fact. Why are you surprised I finally

Suddenly, I knew exactly who the voice belonged to.
"What the ..." I uttered a curse as I searched for the latest

Why I hadn't figured it out sooner is beyond me, the voice

Nelly Speaks Out on Tour Bus Gun and Drug Bust
Nelly's tour bus drug and gun bust definitely surprised his fans when the news hit yesterday (Oct. 11). The rapper isn't known for having run-ins with the law, but getting caught with 36 baggies of heroin, 10 pounds of marijuana and a handgun will definitely get you more than a slap on the wrist.
Fortunately for the St. Louis, Mo., native, the illegal substances and firearm didn't belong to him. After keeping quiet about the matter for hours after he was taken into custody, he's now speaking out.
"It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning," he said in a statement to TMZ.
"Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board," he added. "Law enforcement officials did not press charges against anyone other than that individual."
Nelly's tour bus was traveling in Sierra Blanca, Texas through a border patrol checkpoint when a police canine unit detected drugs. A further search uncovered a loaded .45 caliber pistol. Brian Keith Jones, a passenger on the tour bus, was arrested after admitting the drugs and the weapon were his.
Looks like Mr. "Hot in Herre" should give members of his team a thorough background check before hiring them.

Administration gives pipeline project overview
Gov. Sean Parnell has introduced legislation setting general take terms and allowing the project to move to a preliminary engineering phase.
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – Revenue Commissioner Angela Rodell says an agreement to advance a liquefied natural gas project represents a "groundbreaking achievement" for Alaska.
The project, however, is far from a done deal, with several decision points ahead.
Administration officials on Monday gave lawmakers an overview of the agreement, which includes the state, oil companies, TransCanada Corp. and the Alaska Gasline Development Corp., or AGDC.
Gov. Sean Parnell has introduced legislation setting general take terms and allowing the project to move to preliminary engineering phase expected to cost more than $400 million among the parties, with Alaska's share potentially up to $90 million.
The fiscal note estimates $75 million would go into a new fund and be drawn on from by a subsidiary of AGDC that would carry Alaska's interest in liquefaction facilities.

Justin Timberlake is speaking out about a video which featured homeless people congratulating him and Jessica Biel on their nuptials, a video that he's calling "silly" and "unsavory" - and a video the star insists did not air at his wedding.
"I had no knowledge of its existence. I had absolutely ZERO contribution to it,"Justin said in a letter posted on his website, about the video made by his friends.
PLAY IT NOW: Is Jessica Biel Taking Justin Timberlake's Name? - Hollywood News Roundup (October 24, 2012)
"My friends are good people. This was clearly a lapse in judgment which I'm sure no one who is reading this is exempt from. But, I don't believe it was made to be insensitive.
"More so, I think it was made as a joke on me not having that many friends attending my own wedding (which IS kind of funny if you think about it)," he wrote.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Stars Who Got Engaged In 2012
The star also squashed rumors that the video was played at the ceremony last week in Italy.
"It was NOT shown at my wedding," he continued. "I think we can all agree that it was distasteful, even though that was not its intention."
Adding, "Once again, in the world that we live in where everyone thinks that they know everything, I want to be very clear... I am NOT defending the video. I agree with the overall consensus. But, to use another "pants" analogy... It seems that these days, misconception gets around the world before the actual truth even wakes up and gets it's pants on... I am deeply sorry to anyone who was offended by the video. Again, it was something that I was not made aware of. But, I do understand the reaction and, by association, I am holding myself accountable."

text: Nearly 40% of the U.S. populace now has the ability to voluntarily purchase renewable energy either through their electric utility or by switching electricity providers. While 80% of U.S. residents typically express some willingness to pay for renewable energy, just 1% of those same residents have actually participated in such voluntary "green power" programs. One possible reason for this discrepancy is that U.S. residents prefer to pay for renewable energy collectively rather than to pay voluntarily through green power programs. Perhaps standard policy efforts [e.g., renewables portfolio standards (RPS) and system benefits charges (SBC)] are preferred. Other possible reasons include a lack of awareness of available green power options, and a lack of trust in the green power providers.This talk analyzes the payment preferences of U.S. residents and identifies key barriers to green power demand. The preferences of U.S. residents for supporting renewable energy through RPS and SBC policies are compared to preferences for voluntary green power programs. The study also identifies other important barriers to growing the green power market. The talk is based on a sizable mail survey of U.S. residents, using the contingent valuation method; this survey represents one of the most comprehensive attempts to explore the attitudes of U.S. residents towards renewable energy.

Spring Camp Insider (Interviews, Photo Galleries and More)
Pitt Spring Drills -- Day 9 Practice Notebook & Quote Sheet
The Great Outdoors: With temperatures hovering under 50 degrees at the start of practice, Pitt took to the outdoor fields this morning for its ninth workout of the spring. The Panthers donned full gear for the chilly two-hour, 15-minute session.
Grizzled Vet: A year ago, Ryan Schlieper was a wet-behind-the-ears guard who was looking to earn his first significant playing time as a collegian. Fast forward 12 months and the North Allegheny graduate is now a veteran building block on the offensive line.
His breakout game last year came against undefeated South Florida in a nationally televised ESPN game at Heinz Field. Starter Lucas Nix left the contest early due to a knee injury, thrusting the untested Schlieper into the lineup. Facing the Bulls' fast and athletic defensive front, Schlieper played a key role in helping the Panthers rack up 307 rushing yards in a 44-17 victory. Honored with a game ball that night, Schlieper would go on to start the final eight contests of the season.
"Last year, when I think about it, I really had no idea what I was getting into," Schlieper said. "I wasn't mentally ready when I first became a starter and it took me a few games. Now heading into my junior year I know physically and mentally what I need to be prepared to do."
Schlieper also understands his responsibility as one of the few experienced upperclassmen on this year's line.
"We don't have as many seniors on the offensive line as we usually do," he said. "There are younger guys who are going to need direction this year and I have to step up and be a leader."
Schlieper is a big fan of his new positional coach, Jim Hueber.
"Coach Hueber is a genius when it comes to the offensive line," Schlieper said. "He knows everything about playing the position the way it should be played."
Ronald's Passing Fancy: If Ronald Jones hung up his shoulder pads today, he would finish with a Pitt career passer rating higher than Dan Marino, Alex Van Pelt, Rod Rutherford and Tyler Palko.
A wide receiver by day, Jones moonlighted as a quarterback in gadget play situations last year. He was 3-for-3 passing with touchdown strikes of 30 and 14 yards, giving him an astronomical pass efficiency rating of 462.80.
Jones came to Pitt in 2011 with a QB background. At Florida's Fort Meade High, he was 21-3 as a starting signal caller and earned all-state accolades. The 5-foot-8 dynamo also was a standout in basketball and track.
He transferred that athleticism to receiver last year, catching 17 passes for 143 yards. He additionally was the Panthers' top punt returner, averaging 6.6 yards per return, and rushed 14 times for 67 yards.
"My experience as a quarterback in high school definitely helps me as a receiver," Jones said. "It helps me identify coverages faster and have an understanding of what everyone on the field is doing."
Entering his sophomore year, Jones is focused on refining his skills as a pass catcher and route runner. His new positional coach, Bobby Engram, has been a big asset in that regard.
"He's a great guy and a great coach," Jones said. "I've really liked working with him."
Donald Dominates: Junior defensive tackle Aaron Donald continues to impress this spring. During 11-on-11 work he displayed a combination of power and athleticism that would be the envy of any defensive coordinator - and strike fear into any opposing offense.
On one particular passing down, he bull-rushed the quarterback, striking the thrower's arm just as the ball was released. The ball popped up into the air and Donald snatched it for a rare interception by a defensive tackle.
As a sophomore last season, Donald ranked seventh nationally in sacks per game (0.85 avg., 11 total). He was an All-Big East pick by league coaches and a second team All-American by FoxSports.com.
Pick Six: Junior linebacker Carl Fleming snuffed out a pass in the right flat with a perfect read, intercepting the ball in stride and taking it in for a touchdown on Thursday. Fleming earned his first letter last season as a reserve outside linebacker. He did have one starting assignment, at Louisville, and had his first career interception in Pitt's 21-14 victory over the Cardinals.
Stellar Safety Play: Junior Jason Hendricks and sophomore Ray Vinopal both had interceptions on Thursday. When you include seniors Andrew Taglianetti and Jarred Holley in the mix, the play at the safety position this spring indicates this will be one of Pitt's deepest and most talented positions.
Fantastic Fade: Sophomore quarterback Mark Myers connected on a pretty 15-yard fade to junior receiver Ed Tinker for a touchdown during 11-on-11 work.
Visiting VIPs: High school head coaches at Thursday's practice included George Novak (Woodland Hills), Jim Render (Upper St. Clair), Jamie Eckles (Serra Catholic), Stacy Schmitt (North Star) and former Pitt quarterback Dave Havern (Shady Side Academy). In addition to Havern, other former Pitt players in attendance included Chris Feola and Shane Leichty.
Next Up: Pitt will hold its 10th spring practice on Saturday, March 31, at the UPMC Sports Performance Complex.
Pitt Spring Football Media Quote Sheet
Quoting Head Coach Paul Chryst
On today's practice:
"I thought offensively it was really sluggish in the competition periods. It's a broken record but it's true. There's some good teaching and some of the teaching is what you're doing during the playing. I think it's important how you're responding after the plays. If you learn from it, it's a good day. Today it was really sloppy at times. Defensively there was some good energy. There are some things where we need to keep going and grinding."
On the players learning and responding to what the coaches are teaching:
"There is a willingness to, but you also have to do it. Today was the first day (practicing) in the red zone. There are going to be some coaching points or some things that are a little different. There are some other things that are going to be day one, day two and day three. You have certain guys that are going to have to make improvements and show the jump that they are. Every guy is in a little bit different stage and you keep going forward."
On junior linebacker Shane Gordon:
"He has approached it in a great manner. He is studying and really wanting to be coached. He then gives himself a chance to go out and play. He certainly has talent. Today he did show up on some things and he just needs to keep growing."
On sophomore safety Ray Vinopal seemingly always being around the ball:
"Yeah he does. (Vinopal) is another guy that it's important to him. It's kind of a common theme. You are going to get out of something what you put into it. Football is no different than anything else. Those guys that are doing that and can do it over a long haul will be rewarded. They get better. Once you do something well and then do it consistently then you've got a chance."
On finding a combination on the offensive line:
"You have to find a home for everyone. You have to be able to practice and run plays. It's a combination of guys that can do things, and then find where they go, and other guys who are not holding their own. You have to find five to go at that time. It's always a combination of guys who are putting themselves in position to try to get on the field. You want to be able to play your best guys in the offensive line so you have some versatility. There is still a long ways to go but we are making strides to get there. The guys have to keep working."
On whether the offensive line is coming off the ball the way the coaches want them to:
"At times they are and you can see at times they're thinking. It's nowhere close to where we want to be. At any of these practices you can pick out clips and say we're starting to get it and then others where you can say, `Boy guys, this isn't very good'. That is kind of typical of this time of year."
On senior offensive lineman Chris Jacobson's progress since last year's knee surgery:
"He is making progress and he should be making progress. We are not doing the `everyday update' as much and that's where we're going with it. He's doing a little bit more in the weight room so that's been positive. Those are long haul injuries in rehab. He has to keep progressing and everybody is so different. From talking to him and everyone else it seems that he is making progress."
On if Chris Jacobson will be ready to play in August:
"Yeah, I sure hope so. Everything seems to be pointing that way and there is still a lot of time. I think certainly we would be a better team with him so hopefully that's the case."
On what he hopes to see from the quarterbacks:
"I think the most you can hope for is that each guy is getting better and gaining an understanding of the offense and also improving in their own little world of techniques. There's so much to quarterback play. You hope that there's an understanding and foundation that's being laid so that at fall camp you can build on that and get yourself ready for the season."
Quoting senior offensive lineman Chris Jacobson
On his rehabilitation from a knee injury:
"It's pretty neat to have another opportunity to come back out here. I do miss all the guys that came in with my class, I do miss a bunch of them. But to get another chance and get a new experience with another coach is great. We're excited."
On his thoughts after his injury and getting a sixth year from the NCAA:
"You kind of think that was it. Then when they talk about you getting a sixth year, that didn't come out until like February, but it was so cut and dry that they pretty much knew I would get it. Now you've got to work harder than you've ever worked before and I feel like that's how it will be all summer. I feel like I'll be somebody who won't leave this place and I'm here all day getting treatment and getting work done with my knee because this is it, this is the last go-around for me."
Quoting sophomore defensive end Bryan Murphy
On his style of play in the new defense:
"This is exactly how I like to play. It's a run game in college and I think we should mainly focus on stopping the run first which is what we're doing and we're going to be real successful at it."
Quoting junior linebacker Shane Gordon
On the depth at linebacker this spring:
"We've got a lot of guys fighting for a spot and I'm glad to see my man Mase (Dan Mason) back off that injury. It's good to be out there with him."
On Dan Mason's resilient return from a knee injury:
"That's Mase. He's just a beast and I wouldn't doubt him on it. A lot of people wouldn't come back from that injury but it wouldn't hold him back."
On the new defense:
"We've got the guys for it. They've got me at the Will (weakside linebacker). Me and Mase interchange at middle linebacker. It works."
On the defense's increased physical play:
"Our offense runs a pro (formation) and last year we ran the spread so now we've got a lot of run coming at us and you've got to be more physical."

Starting July 21, if a creditor uses a credit score to offer credit at less-than-favorable terms, deny credit or adjust the rate on extending credit, it must reveal the score they used along with other information related to the score.
Consumers will receive a notice outlining the range of possible credit scores, key factors that hurt the score, the date the score was pulled and the name of the agency that provided it.
The Federal Reserve and the Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday laid out the final rules regarding the credit score disclosure requirements in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The new rules enhance earlier requirements that have been in effect since the beginning of the year. Those required creditors to provide consumers with a more generic risk-based pricing notice if they were granted credit on worse terms than other consumers.
The risk-based pricing notice included the definition of a credit report, how the creditor used the information in the report, how to fix mistakes in the report, how to get a copy of a report and where to find more information about credit reports. As an alternative, creditors could supply consumers with a credit score disclosure notice.
If the consumer was denied credit or given unfavorable terms as an applicant or existing customer, creditors sent the consumer an adverse action notice that didn't contain a free credit score. Under the final rules, consumers would receive their free scores if they were denied credit or granted credit at less-than-ideal terms than other consumers.
Consumer advocates are cheering the changes because they offer a learning experience for consumers with poorer credit scores and histories.
"Consumers will be able to 'get to know' their credit score and perhaps investigate the root causes of their score by ordering a free copy of their credit report," says Linda Sherry, director of national priorities for watchdog group Consumer Action.
"If errors are to blame, they might be more likely to correct them. If the negative info is accurate, perhaps they will look for ways to improve their credit," Sherry says.
Still, Sherry believes the changes should have also included transactions with insurance and telecom companies, which use credit scores or credit-based scores to determine deposits or set premiums.
In the meantime, you can check your free credit report and learn where to get a free credit score.
Chime in: Do you support the changes?

Cedarville University welcomed new and returning students to campus on August 17-19 through its Getting Started Weekend.
The weekend included orientation sessions for new students and parents, helping students make the transition to the University. This year Cedarville welcomed the third largest freshman class in its history.
During these move-in days, hundreds of returning students and staff members helped the new students move into their dorms. Even Cedarville University President William E. Brown, Ph.D., helped students unload their cars.
Often referred to as one of the most memorable experiences students have at Cedarville, Getting Started Weekend was a hit once again.
Classes began for most students on Wednesday, August 22.
Watch this WDTN TV clip for highlights from Getting Started Weekend.
