With the most common definition of the median, as you will recall, the
median is the average of two values whenever the number of values is
even. Therefore, the median is often itself _not_ one of the data
values, and so a median index is not always defined. Within continuous
data not too coarsely recorded, this will, I guess, happen about half
the time. That is one good reason for the lack of a median index
By the way, the concept of minimum index or maximum index is also
problematic whenever there are ties for minimum or maximum.

Million Mile Secrets reader Nandan emails:
If I sign-up for Chase Freedom, after I spend $500 in first three months – will I get 20,000 points or $200? If I add an authorized user – will I get 2,500 points or ?? And any more?
Nandan is referring to the increased sign-up bonus on the Chase Freedom card. For a limited time, Chase is offering 20,000 points after spending $500 in 3 months, plus an additional 2,500 points for adding an authorized user. Usually, the sign-up bonus is 10,000 points after meeting minimum spending requirements.
Is The Bonus 20,000 Points, $200, or Both?
Link: Chase Freedom 20,000 Point Sign-Up Bonus
Link: Chase Freedom 2014 5X Points Bonus Categories
Nandan is looking for clarification because Chase advertises the sign-up bonus as $200 cash back, plus $25 for adding an authorized user.
The Chase Freedom card actually earns Chase Ultimate Rewards points, which are worth 1 cent each when redeemed for cash back. You'll earn:
- 5 points per $1 you spend in rotating bonus categories (like restaurants and gas stations)
- 1 point per $1 you spend on everything else
And because Chase Freedom points are worth 1 cent each, 20,000 points = $200 cash back (20,000 points x 1 cent per point). And 2,500 points for adding an authorized user = $25 cash back (2,500 points x 1 cent per point).
Chase makes it clear in the offer details for the card:
Rewards Currency
Your Cash Back rewards are tracked as points in this program. Each penny in Cash Back rewards earned is equal to 1 point. Your points can be redeemed for cash back or any of the other redemption opportunities provided through Chase Ultimate Rewards. A minimum of 2,000 points is needed to redeem for cash back.
It's easier for Chase to advertise this as a straight cash-back card rather than get into the details of the Chase Ultimate Rewards point system. They probably don't want to confuse potential new customers!
Is Cash Back the Only Option?
Link: Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards Transfers
Some folks think that Chase Ultimate Rewards points earned from the Chase Freedom card can ONLY be redeemed for cash back. But that's not the case!
If you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred, (no longer offered) Chase Ink Bold, or Chase Ink Plus card, you can indirectly transfer points earned from the Chase Freedom card to partner airlines and hotels, including United Airlines, Southwest, and Hyatt. And Chase recently added Singapore Airlines as a transfer partner.
You can read my post about how to transfer Chase Freedom points to your other Chase accounts & then redeem them for Big Travel with Small Money!
If you don't have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold or Chase Ink Plus card, you can still use Chase Ultimate Rewards points earned from the Chase Freedom towards travel. They're worth 1 cent per point when you redeem for travel (airlines, hotels, cars) through the Chase Ultimate Rewards travel portal.
Bottom Line
The Chase Freedom sign-up bonus has increased to 20,000 points for a limited time.
Although Chase advertises this as a $200 cash back bonus, the Chase Freedom card actually earns Ultimate Rewards points. These points can be cashed in at a rate of 1 cent per point, so 20,000 points is worth $200.
That said, you can get more from Chase Freedom points by indirectly transferring them to partner airlines and hotels. But you can only do this if you also have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold, or Chase Ink Plus card.
Thanks for writing Nandan!

DetailsBoost bottle from Malossi. A boost-bottle is positioned between carb and reed valve, where it stores the mixture when the reed closes, thus preventing the mixture from being led back to the carb again. This way the mixture doesn't become too rich; the result is better fuel economy coupled with improved throttle response. Makes sense in conjunction with bigger carbs which tend to have overly rich mixtures at lower rpms.

The Balancing Act
My first love told me when you are being oppressed by someone, you are under the impression you need them to survive. You can't leave them, your world is centered around them. You carry their needs like a sheet of glass on your head, manuvering to keep the world they have created world from shattering.
Then you mess up. The glass shatters at your feet, and you brace yourself to endure: nothing. The glass broke over your head, and you still stand strong.
Suddenly there is an up. You can reach. The sun hits your face. You grow disorientated. The power filled empty pockets you aren't sure what to do with. Your world is changed, your preception is askew and you don't know what to do with this new found freedom. You know something is missing. You fear getting sunburned. You look back to the life you are familliar with, and cut yourself trying to create a whole with broken pieces.
You can't blame yourself for not creating a cushion, not bending enough to endure the impact, to save life as you know it. Because when two things are clashing, you can take as much weight as you possibly can, but it will still hit impact. You have to accept that you weren't moving in the same direction. Neither of you are blameless.
Allow yourself to cry. Its ok to miss the past. You cry of sadness because there is beauty in any world, and the beauty of the world you left, is gone. You cry of happiness. There is no crushing weight. You are allowed to dance again. You wont shatter anything now.
But you can't blame him either. Don't clench you dancing arms in anger. Don't blame him for restricting you. You aren't a victim. Let it roll off. You don't have to let anger control you. You control your circumstances. You control your emotions. It isn't really anger. It is sadness. Sadness that something wonderful ended.
But the beauty is that no matter where you are you will find beauty, if you are open to it. If you close your eyes with hatred, you wont see it. If you fall to bits in self pity you aren't looking around to experience it. You have to just accept life as it is thrown to you, and control your reaction. Life will move on, and you will move with it.

HR Task Management
breatheHR gives you the tools to delegate and keep track of your tasks
Ever found yourself trying to remember if you finished all your tasks or completely forgetting to do something? To save you from the self-doubt and having to retrace your footsteps, breatheHR gives you ultimate control over all your to-dos. By enabling you to delegate tasks with employee self-service and an unlimited number of managers, breatheHR puts you in control of your workflow. Our manager and HR dashboard clearly displays pending tasks and important notifications like upcoming birthdays, one-to-ones, and employee leave. The system also sends out emails to appropriate managers when a new task has been generated and sends gentle reminder emails. With everything at your fingertips, staying organised has never felt so easy and efficient.
Self-Service & Permissions
Delegate tasks. Get things done.
HR administrative tasks can be time consuming, but with breatheHR, they don't have to be. Our HR system enables you to delegate specific tasks to some or all of your employees and to create manager workflows— complete with manager dashboards that look just like the HR dashboard. User permissions allow you to either grant or limit access to specific features and workflows, and were created to put you in control of how you and your employees use the system.
HR & Manager Dashboard
Key reminders. Important notifications.
On our HR and Manager Dashboard, managers can see all the tasks that need their attention and any advanced notifications about upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, training, leave and one-to-ones. Then with just the flick of a tab, My Dashboard appears, because at the end of the day, you and your managers are more than task approvers— you are employees too.
Finance User Permissions
Grant advanced user access.
Keep your finance access in check by dictating who can access the information. By setting finance access to specific employees, line managers, and HR users, the finance access will either prevent HR users from seeing finance or give specific employees and line managers access to finance information.
Email Notifications & Reminders
Prompt action. Improve efficiency.
When a new task is added to the system, breatheHR sends an email to the appropriate manager or HR user to let that person know their attention is required. We also understand that life gets in the way sometimes, so if you or your managers miss a task, breatheHR will send a gentle nudge every Monday morning of any pending tasks. We call it our weekly digest, and it is the perfect reminder to get you back on track.

Häxan - Witchcraft Through The Ages
£19.99, Tartan
Danish director Benjamin Christensen's 1922 cult classic is a fantastic piece of cake-and-eat-it film-making. The film earnestly sets out to explain how everything from mental illness to religious hysteria caused the masses to believe that the devil was abroad, roaming the medieval world causing all kinds of mischief. But Christensen - who appears as both Old Nick and Jesus Christ in the movie, what a guy! - couldn't resist the temptation to stage some scenes depicting what these demonic activities would have looked like had they, in fact, occurred. If he hadn't done this, we wouldn't have been left with such a unique and enduring film. Starting with woodcuts and dioramas, Häxan moves into still-stunning live action where witches fill the sky, demons spew from pregnant women, nuns kiss Satan's backside and humans turn into cats in order to "pollute the altar" of churches. Every frame is littered with arcane symbols and ritualistic imagery. You can see why this film was feared and even banned for decades in many countries. Now, it's not seen as harmful, but neither is it considered quaint. Christensen conjures up quite an atmosphere and some of the scenes are still pretty intense. This DVD offers two different versions of the movie. There's a full-length version with a choice of scores from hammered dulcimer specialist Geoff Smith and Bristol's Bronnt Industries Kapital. Also included is a truncated version of the film from 1968, with narration by William S Burroughs and a jazzy Jean-Luc Ponty soundtrack.
Ten Canoes
£15.99, Universal
Australian Aboriginals have some of the oldest storytelling traditions in the world, but this is the first time those stories have been put on screen in the original language. The reason, given in companion documentary, The Balanda And The Bark Canoe (included as a most welcome extra) is that film is really the only way they see their tales being carried down to future generation. Co-director Rolf de Heer spins a complex morality tale here, weaving three different timelines. In a flashback to a hunting trip, a village elder tells a younger member of the party a cautionary story set thousands of years ago "before time", after he realises the youth has designs on one of his brother's wives. In the ancient tale, the search for a missing wife sparks misguided revenge and retribution. It's a sophisticated story, full of bawdy jokes and stunning cinematography.

Why Gold left Bath
- 13 Dec 2013
Gary Gold's departure as Bath's director of rugby is said to be due to a disagreement between him and the club.
On 10 December, Bath announced that Gold was leaving with immediate effect following a 're-structure in the rugby department'.
A follow-up statement from Bath reveals that: 'after the last few months it became clear that the Club and Gary were not able to agree on how to define the role of director of rugby.'
'It is with deep regret that my time as director of rugby at bath has come to an end after amicable and respectful discussions,' said Gold.
'I am very proud of what we have achieved as a group in being able to make Bath a formidable force, and it is testament to this great group of players that the team are currently sitting in such healthy positions in all competitions.
'I have no doubt that Bath Rugby will go from strength to strength in years to come, and I sincerely wish them all the very best of fortune. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bath and have particularly enjoyed - and continue to appreciate - the constant support from an incredible group of Bath fans.'
Bath chairman and owner, Bruce Craig, added: 'I would like to thank Gary for all his efforts over the last 18 months. He has helped the Club advance hugely and has contributed to the Club's present success, and indeed become a personal friend. He will always be welcome at the Rec and I have no doubt that he will prove a tremendous asset wherever he goes from here.'

Almost May
By Kate Gridley, April 26, 2011 - 8:27am
Spring is late... at least in New England.
I have just returned from a quick trip to Cape Cod (to ride bikes and eat fresh fish) I find myself thinking about what is happening with the growing season in other parts of the country? Cape Cod was a little farther along than the middle of Vermont: the forsythia was in bloom, banks of daffodils lined the roads, and there were discernible pink tinged buds on the trees. And I was served fresh asparagus with ramps one night, next to my fresh fish.
Eating Well readers might well be tired of us Northerners desperately looking for signs of spring, but there it is. Our spring is late, and any fresh green direct from the earth is to be celebrated and savored a bit more keenly.
Ramps, otherwise known as wild leeks (allium tricoccum), are a broad leafed leek, native to eastern North American mountains. They grow as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee, and as far north as Canada. Since they are one of the first edible plants to emerge in spring, there are annual spring festivals in parts of Appalachia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania counties celebrating this fresh first vegetable. As part of the food movement, they have become wildly popular in upscale urban restaurants.
This popularity has led to over harvesting, and in some areas, Quebec, for instance, ramps are a protected species. In Maine and Rhode Island, ramps are a species of "special concern".
So what to think? Do I eat this delicate, garlicky and onion -y flavored, first green? Is there an opportunity for someone to cultivate ramps?
I have to confess that as someone who wishes to eat local, I do tend to focus on what is in season, knowing that seasons are fleeting, and there are flavors associated with different times of year. And there are times when I can not have some of the ingredients I wish to have. The season of the root cellar, carrots in sand, bags of dusty potatoes, and the remaining onions from last year's harvest, is coming to an end. I dream of tiny new potatoes, baby carrots, spring onions, and, yes, the fresh peas to come in a few weeks. But meanwhile, I relish the taste of a season's first greens -- which, if they are something special, like ramps, I might only eat sparingly. Then I look ahead to the brief season of fiddleheads. While the garden sleeps, I am compelled inexorably to forage -- just a little.
My sleepy vegetable garden is slowly emerging. The sorrel is almost ready to be picked.

Q:Just curious here, but according a rep from visteon this is not an actual parallel flow condensor, it is actually still a tube and fin design but because of its larger tube design it is claimed to be. So who is correct here? Different part stores tell me that # 2302 is actual oe replacement part # from visteon. I am cosidering buying one but now i'm having rservations here. Please clear this up for me
1 answer
A:This Visteon A/C Condenser with part# 2302 is OE(original equipment) designed for exact fit, form and function. In order to check the exact fit application, please provide the year, make, model and engine size of the vehicle.
Q:Is this a direct drop in replacement for the inefficient tube and fin condenser my 1990 Chevy came with. Mine has a pinhole leak. One site I looked at sold parallel flow condensers, but said that you have to make custom a/c lines. I am still using R12 if that makes a difference on what condenser I should buy. I tried R134A in this truck and hated it so bad, that I actually spent a whole morning finding some R12, and the afternoon flushing and putting R12 and mineral oil back in. 35 degrees with R12 is a lot better than the 45 degrees R134A gave me.
1 answer
A:This is designe for exact fit.
Q:Will this condenser provide better cooling performance over the stock condenser? I have a 1991 S10 that was converted to R134A and the cooling absolutely sucks while idling. When it had R12 it would freeze you out of the cab.
2 answers
A:It may provide better performance over the one you have already. I recommend also checking to make sure that your system is charged fully with freon and not low and you might want to make sure your fan is working properly to move the air across the condenser while sitting still.
A:The reason your A/C doesn't work good idling with R134A is because that truck has the older style tube and fin condenser. I used to own one of those trucks. I ended up putting in this condenser, used a blue ford orifice tube, and converted back to R12. That truck blew wicked cold then, better than any 93 and older S10 I ever rode in.

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is generally acknowledged to be the greatest draftsman of the twentieth century. The Frick Collection, New York, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., co-organized an exhibition that looked at the dazzling development of Picasso's drawings, from the precocious academic exercises of his youth in the 1890s to the virtuoso classical works of the early 1920s. Through a selection of more than fifty works at each venue, the presentation examined the artist's stylistic experiments and techniques in this roughly thirty-year period, which begins and ends in a classical mode and encompasses the radical innovations of cubism and collage.
The show (which opened at the Frick in the fall of 2011 and moved on to the National Gallery of Art in February 2012) demonstrated how drawing served as an essential means of invention and discovery in Picasso's multifaceted art, while its centrality in his vast oeuvre connects him deeply with the grand tradition of European masters. Indeed, the exhibition will bring to the fore his complex engagement with artists of the near and distant past and will explore the diverse ways he competed with the virtuoso techniques of his predecessors and perpetuated them in revitalized form. Picasso's Drawings, 1890–1921: Reinventing Tradition features loans from important public and private collections in Europe and the United States and is accompanied by a full-color catalogue of the same name. It is being organized by Susan Grace Galassi, Senior Curator, The Frick Collection, and Marilyn McCully, Picasso expert, in conjunction with Andrew Robison, Mellon Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings at the National Gallery of Art. Comments Galassi, "Over the past decade several exhibitions organized both in the United States and abroad have explored Picasso's art in relation to Western and non-Western traditions. The show focuses on this fundamental aspect of his work, specifically in relation to his drawings, where his interaction with artists of the past often first emerged. Our project aims to take a fresh look at Picasso's drawing practice from his early training to maturity."

To begin with, you need to understand what peer pressure is. It occurs when your peers are trying to convince you to do something. What is more, in most cases they do not stop until they reach their goals. For instance, they may say that it is uncool not to drink which is the reason why you have to do it as well. Those children who are unable to resist peer pressure tend to do everything they are told to.
The reason why it happens is as follows: perhaps, the desire of every teenager is to fit in, to have a cool group of friends and to be like everyone else. They simply want to be liked and respected by their peers. Teenagers who experience negative peer pressure tend to be very unhappy during those years as they are unable to express their own point of view as well as to do what they want.

If you are a parent and you divorce, the parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Unlike alimony, which is paid to maintain an ex-spouse's lifestyle, child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. A child support lawyer can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. While national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist, you or the judge may choose to calculate the amount based on your income and the child's needs. If you believe you are not the father of a child and want to contest a child support claim, a child support lawyer can also help you determine paternity. A child support lawyer can be useful during negotiations to help objectively determine the most appropriate amount of child support for your situation and protect against paternity fraud.

California Works On Marijuana Tax
Legislators are studying the sale of marijuana from start to finish in an attempt to narrow down where taxes should be applied, and exactly who should be taxed. The first rough draft of the bill favored a tax-stamp system similar to that of tobacco, which received little backing by NORML and American's for Safe Access.
Many feared the Stamp-Tax Model will raise issues with discretion in the medical marijuana industry. People who complied with the state laws would be making themselves easy targets for federal prosecution. Also, the Stamp-Tax Model could place the tax burden on the end users. Serious re-shaping of the bill has occurred since the original draft, and since has received backing from both groups.
San Jose has already started excising a city level tax on medical marijuana. They received over $300,000 in tax money from the cities collectives, and predicts the tax could bring in over $3 million a year from now.
Michigan Marijuana Records Turned Over to DEA
A federal judge has ordered the Michigan Department of Community Health to comply with a subpoena issued by the DEA. The judge said state law allowing medical use has no impact on federal use that is still considered illegal.
The subpoena requested patient and caregiver registration cards for seven people residing in the Lansing area. The Cannabis Patients United and several other similar groups argued that the state is violating patients privacy rights by complying with the subpoena.
Under Michigan's medical marijuana law, all applications and information are considered confidential, with criminal penalties outlined for those who disclose the information. The only thing the state is supposed to do is verify a cards validity to law enforcement. The Michigan Attorney General, who is an opponent of medical marijuana, said the state would comply if ordered to do so by a federal judge.
Connecticut Close To Decriminalization
Legislation was passed over the weekend to decriminalize marijuana possession. The Connecticut Senate passed the bill after an 18-18 tie vote the was broken by the president of the state Senate. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for final legislative actions.
The bill would make first time possession of under ½ ounce a $150.00 fine instead of a misdemeanor, like the current law. Fines will range from $200-$500 for a second offense. Supporters of the bill believe it will help young people arrested for possession avoid a criminal record. "We are not enforcing the use of illegal drugs. We strongly disapprove of their use, but we're trying to realign their punishment that is more appropriate," says Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney (D).
$1 Million Marijuana Bust in El Monte
Los Angeles police accidentally uncovered a warehouse full of marijuana plants after responding to an attempted burglary call. Four men and a teenager were attempting to break into a warehouse, with a U-haul as the get away vehicle.
During questioning, one of the suspects admitted to what they were after; over 3,000 marijuana plants only 3 weeks from harvest. Growers had been hiding the massive operation by sourcing their electricity directly from the underground wires. One of the suspects claims the grow operation belonged to his family, who was trying to cut him out of the profits, so he came to get his share.
Montana Man Arrested for Medical Marijuana Burglary
Early Wednesday morning the Belgrade, Montana Police Department responded to a medical marijuana dispensary where an alarm had been triggered. When they arrived, they found the front window of the shop broken and over $1,500 dollars worth of plants missing.
Surveillance video from the scene showed a man in a tan colored station wagon breaking into the business and removing the plants. Police identified the suspect as Erik Baldwin. Baldwin admitted to the crime when police found him at his residence. He is awaiting trial and sentencing.
Arizona Man Killed After Attempted Pot Theft
A Phoenix man who was recently authorized to grow marijuana has shot and killed a man who tried to steal his crop at gun point.
The 30-year-old grower had been licensed since May 25, and had started advertising the sale of the medicine to other patients with ID cards. He was contacted by two men claiming to have cards. When the group met up, the two men pulled a gun on the grower and demanded the marijuana. The grower pulled his own weapon and shot one of the aggressors, Larry Miller. The other man fled with the herb while the grower called 911 and performed CPR on Miller. Miller later died on the way to the hospital.
The grower was not arrested, but the attorneys office will look further into the situation.

At the age of six, the enormous Caribou (3.20) still looks as though he is learning to co-ordinate his limbs but he put it all together, under strong driving, to win at Newbury last month and makes each-way appeal for today's Bet365 Gold Cup. Oliver Sherwood's charge runs from 8lb out of the handicap but would otherwise be on the same mark as for that latest win and should still be ahead of the handicapper, particularly as we hear he has continued to exhibit rude health at his in-from yard.
Best bet among the Flat races on the card may be Centennial (4.30) in the Classic Trial. Brushed aside by subsequent Group One winner Thewayyouare at Saint-Cloud in October, John Gosden's charge has wintered well and is confidently expected to justify his current status as third-favourite for the Derby. The chief danger could prove to be Whistledownwind, who we gather is ready to do himself justice.
Having unexpectedly beaten stablemate Don't Panic at Doncaster last time, Chapple-Hyam's Medicine Path (3.55) is expected to take the step up to Group Two level in his stride, though Rob Roy is also capable of a big run, having returned to Sir Michael Stoute from Neil Drysdale in America.
Chapple-Hyam may also be on the mark at Leicester, where his Al Qasi (3.50) should be straight enough on his reappearance to take the Listed race. Later on the card, Stoute fields Tartan Bearer (5.00), who has apparently had 'a bit of a leg' but is completely recovered and ready to start justifying the big reputation that has made this maiden a general 16-1 shot for the Derby.
Waffle (2.15) is said to be a good thing for Leicester's opening maiden, while Tourism (3.15) should get the better of Animator in the staying handicap, according to our information.
Michael Bell is teeing up Highland Legacy (3.40) for next month's Chester Cup but today's trip to Ripon is no mere warm-up and the four-year-old is thought likely to go close at least. Woteva (4.50) should be able to get off the mark while Barry Hills's best chance of a winner this afternoon is Jabal Tariq (5.20). Those still in need of a winner tonight could do a lot worse than side with Michael Jarvis's Meshtri (8.20) in Haydock's closing race.

The defence ministry said the comments were not aimed at any particular nation but Mr Hu's speech to military leaders in Beijing comes amid growing tension in the Asia-Pacific region.
China claims all of the oil and gas rich South China Sea, as does Taiwan, while four other countries declare ownership of parts of it, with Vietnam and the Philippines accusing Chinese forces of increasing aggression there. In the speech he said the navy should "accelerate its transformation and modernisation in a sturdy way, and make extended preparations for military combat in order to make greater contributions to safeguard national security and world peace".
He added: "Our work must closely encircle the main theme of national defence and military building."
Last month China announced it would conduct navy exercises in the Pacific following a major diplomatic campaign by President Barack Obama to assert the US as a power.
But today relationships between the two superpowers appeared to be thawing as Chinese and US defence officials opened talks in Beijing.
The meeting - between US under- secretary of defence Michele Flournoy and her Chinese counterpart Ma Xiaotian - was the first since September, when Washington announced a £3.5 billion upgrade to Taiwan's fleet of F-16 fighter jets, which angered China.
Opening the one-day annual meeting, Mr Ma said the talks showed that "both countries are being sincere about maintaining military exchanges". "Hopefully both sides will make the best of this opportunity to expand common ground, keep risks under control and avoid misjudgment," he added.
Besides the sales to Taiwan, Mr Ma is also expected to complain about US military surveillance missions within China's exclusive economic zone.
He is likely to raise US plans announced late last month to rotate marines to Australia for training with Australian forces from a base in Darwin, beginning next year.
Up to 2,500 marines, infantry units as well as aviation squadrons and combat logistic battalions, will go there from Okinawa or other marine stations in Japan and elsewhere in the Pacific for a few months at a time.
Chinese hard-liners have called the move, along with strengthened military ties with allies Japan and the Philippines as well as former enemy Vietnam, a new US containment policy that must be resisted. The White House is believed to have briefed Ms Flournoy to raise concerns about China's relations with North Korea and Iran. She will also ask questions about cyber security, nuclear weapons policy and China's plans for space exploration.

Chavez denies getting medical checkup in Brazil
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been battling cancer since June 2011, and says he has overcome it.
Caracas: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has been battling cancer since June 2011, said he feels fine and denied rumours that he submitted to a medical checkup during his just-completed official visit to Brazil.
"I feel very well. I know that some, I think the mentally sick, and also with a certain sadism, take advantage of anything ... and OK it will continue being like this, any opportunity to continue sending their messages," said Chavez at a press conference upon his return from Brazil, where he attended the ceremony for Venezuela`s entry as a full partner into the Mercosur trade bloc.
"It`s absurd and totally false that they took me ... to a hospital and, I don`t know, well it`s a complete tale, like a movie," said the leftist President.
"I don`t like to even respond because I don`t want to fall to that level of, how can I call it, human wretchedness," he said.
"To those who wish death upon me, I wish a long life for them so that they see how the Bolivarian revolution is going to continue advancing from battle to battle and victory to victory," he added.
Venezuelan journalist Nelson Bocaranda said on his web page that Chavez on Monday had undergone a medical exam in Brasilia accompanied by former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva.
Chavez, however, said he spoke by telephone with Lula before leaving Brazil since there was no opportunity to see him during his two-day visit.
The Venezuelan leader is recovering from cancer and says he has overcome it, although treating it required that he undergo surgery three times since it was detected in June 2011.
Chavez has said that he had a tumour in his pelvic region and that he had a relapse in February, but he has neither specified the type of cancer nor the seriousness of the disease.
Some 18.9 million Venezuelans are eligible to go to the polls on October 07, when they will elect a president for 2013-19 from among a group of seven candidates. The 57-year-old Chavez, who has been in power since 1999, is ahead in the voter surveys with his nearest rival being consensus opposition candidate Henrique Capriles, 39.

You may not realize it, but the western section of the Logan Square neighborhood was once dominated by industrial use. This makes a ton of sense if you think about it, as the proximity to both rail lines and the river would have made this area very attractive to manufacturers back in the day. In modern times, the neighborhood has transitioned to primarily residential use (and museums of course), and many of those old sites have been transformed into apartment buildings, like Park Towne Place, the Riverside Presbyterian Apartments, and Edgewater Apartments.
But some of the old industrial sites have remained undeveloped, with the surface parking lot at 139 N. 23rd St. being a prominent example. You can see in the image above, this site was an iron foundry for many years, and also included a number of small buildings that could have been residences for foundry employees. By the 1950s, we can see that the property was getting worn down. The foundry was demolished at some point after the early 1960s.
Today, it looks like this:
It seems that a North Broad Street project that got squashed last summer has come back from the dead. This is for the best, as far as we're concerned.
About a year ago, developers came before the Logan Square Neighborhood Association with plans to build an addition at 142 N. Broad St., a rough looking building that sits in between a Parkway Garage (which is also their headquarters) and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The project would have entailed a four-story addition to the building and the creation of 116 apartments, along with ground-floor retail. The community didn't oppose the project itself, though they did not support one aspect of the project which would have meant a 3' digital sign at the top of the building, a la East Market Street. In July of last year, the project got denied at the ZBA and the building has remained in the same state ever since.
A slice of Philadelphia culture, 23rd Street Cafe hosted jazz jam sessions every Tuesday night for the last twenty-five years. For a great story about the history of this institution, read this Inquirer story from over the summer. If you read the story a few months ago, you still had the chance to check out a jam session at 233 N. 23rd St., an older building pretty much next door to an I-676 offramp.
If you didn't get there by now, you've missed your chance. The business is closed and the building has been demolished.
We were in the market for some cases of beer today, and found ourselves at Franklin Beverage on the 1800 block of Callowhill Street (they take American Express, by the way). Before we made our way inside, we noticed a faded zoning notice next door at 1823 Callowhill St., the former home of the Children's Crisis Treatment Center.
According to the zoning notice, developers have plans to demolish this building and replace it with a five-story structure with ground-floor commercial and thirty-two apartments above. The project will also include ten parking spots.
In yet another example of why Twitter is super cool, today an interesting image came up on our feed from @EricClayWarner. Check it out:
Jumping down the rabbit hole afforded by the response from our old friend @GroJLart, we were able to find out some more info about this project. Located at 24th & JFK, it comes from NP International, and it's called River Walk Philadelphia. The site covers 8.5 acres, and will include "residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and other community amenities." The developers presented to the community last month, and LSNA minutes indicate that the project will include 665 condo units and a grocery store, among other items. There will be about 650 parking spaces and they're working with CSX to create river access from the development site. Check out a couple more images:
A number of new projects are buzzing in Center City right now, but before another one happens in Logan Square, duty may call.
The owner of 1531-33 Cherry St. has entered into a neighborhood development agreement with members of the Logan Square Neighborhood Association to raze the current structures to make way for a five-story residential building in which the owner and his family would occupy the top floor and rent out the units on the floors below. But this project might be stalled for a few years, as the owner was recently called to action overseas as part of his work for the National Guard. YCH Architects designed the project and we hope it happens sooner rather than later. When completed, it will bring some new residents to a relatively sleepy Center City block.
Neighbors in Spruce Hill in West Philadelphia are attempting to build up their organization by offering free membership for new members that join the Spruce Hill Community Association (SHCA) between now and next winter.
Some civic groups charge fees and some don't. SHCA fees are $20 a year. The group's more than 300 members provide an annual budget of $6,000 that contributes to the organization's efforts in the community. Current members decided to offer free membership in order to boost the group's numbers, ostensibly increasing the budget in years to come. Ten new members had joined by early May, according to Rich Guffanti, SCHA's database coordinator.
"There's about a dozen things we do with it," said Guffanti. That includes handling publicity and making the community aware of local development like plans for a 92-unit building at 43rd & Baltimore. When neighbors voiced their concern about a Subway proposal at 45th and Baltimore, the group's budget contributed to community outreach efforts, though the store did eventually open. While the money is not much, for SCHA it serves its purpose.
While ground-breaking may be a year away, plans for Edgewater II, a 20-plus-story 300-foot tower at 23rd & Summer are moving along. Some changes have been made to the plan since Realen first presented to Logan Square Neighborhood Association (LSNA) last year, and these must now be officially incorporated into a Neighborhood Development Agreement (NDA).
The most important part of that NDA states that no construction vehicles can enter the site from 23rd Street, according to Ed Panek, LSNA zoning chair. That means vehicles will have to travel under I676, passing around the Park Towne Place Apartments to enter. No construction will occur west of 23rd Street. Otherwise, construction vehicles and equipment would impede 23rd Street residents from utilizing their street, Panek said.
It's sat vacant for two decades and though Brandywine Realty Trust purchased 1919 Market St. for $9.3M early in 2011, two years later its vision and any action pertaining to active development of the lot have apparently stalled.
The site has been featured in various plans since it was first razed to make room for a twin to the Blue Cross Blue Shield building. Most recent plans depicted a mixed-use 25-story 293 residential unit tower, with additional related uses, and a parking garage with 286 spaces and a driveway on Market Street. Developers plan to eventually meet with appropriate members of the relevant civic organizations, including Logan Square Neighborhood Association and Center City Residents Association to discuss the matter. But the ZBA has postponed the matter indefinitely.
Dear God: we're unsure if you've heard our prayers lately. We need some money. So we're selling some of (Y)our things.
Like the Holy Family Center and the northern portion of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center's parking lot, located at 17th and Vine Streets. Hope you don't mind, Big Fella. (Signed, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.) The 20K sqft former convent now functions as office space for various Catholic Social Services, which will be relocated.
We didn't know God had money troubles. What gives? The archdioceses faced a $6M operating deficit for the 2012 fiscal year, according to Catholic News Agency (CNA).
With these properties for sale, an interesting development opportunity presents itself in Logan Square. There, preconstruction recently started at the other corner of 17th and Vine on another one of God's assets, the Temple for the Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS). Guess as one leaves another comes, like cars to parking spots in Philly. This makes for an interesting development opportunity along the south side of the 1700 block.

We are very sad to announce that Butch Trucks has passed away. Our deepest condolences are with his family during this time. We will miss you Butch! Rest In Peace. Details > http://rol.st/2kiO3F6
The singular Leon Russell, who died today at age 74, impacted musicians from various generations and genres. The Oklahoma native was a famed session musician, bandleader, and hit songwriter before becoming a solo star in the 1970s. Russell enjoyed a late career comeback when he collaborated with Elton John on the 2010 album "The Union." The following year, Russell was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame." Damon Fowler, while living in a historic cottage in Bradenton Beach, released his 2011 album "Devil Got His Way," which features mostly originals as well as a cover of Russell's classic hit "Tight Rope."
"Devil Got His Way" reached No. 13 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart and while Fowler is best known as a blues musician, like Russell, he enjoys working in various styles; dividing his time between leading a namesake power trio, playing in blues supergroup Southern Hospitality and serving as co-lead guitarist and singer in co-founding Allman Brother Butch Trucks' Freight Train Band. "I love Leon Russell," Fowler says from his home in Lakeland, just a few days before returning to the road with Trucks. "There was just something about his mix between country and gospel and honky tonk, he had a really good recipe for all that stuff, soul and blues, he really put it together seamlessly." Fowler, a Brandon native, became a fan of Russell at a young age. "My mom was a big Leon Russell fan so that was how I got into him," the 37-year-old Fowler says. "She was very happy when I got to open for him about 10 years ago at club in Ybor City."
"His band was good, he sang good, he had both his daughters in his band, it was a great show," Fowler recalls. Read Entire Article!
Headlining will be Tampa's homegrown blues guitar aficionado, Damon Fowler. He's back in town after traveling the United States and five other countries with his own trio, as a member of the blues/Southern rock band Southern Hospitality, and as a guest artist on another friend's record.
"It's been fun," Fowler said of his worldly travels.
But he's happy to be home to help out.
"Blues for Food — well I think it's a great deal," he said. "We're really excited to be a part if it."
Damon Fowler makes his first appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown.
Known as a master of the guitar in and around his hometown of Tampa, Fowler started wowing audiences with his musical exploits as a teenager. He began singing and writing his own music as the years passed, further expanding his repertoire. Fowler has released three albums for the Blind Pig label, including his latest, Sounds of Home.
Produced by swamp-blues master Tab Benoit, Sounds was recorded in Benoit's rural Louisiana studio, capturing just the right mix of grit and polish. Fowler is backed here by his own Tampa-based trio, including Chuck Riley on bass and drummer James "Big Country" McKnight.
Set List
"Sounds Of Home"
"Old Fools, Bar Stools & Me"
"Grit My Teeth"
You wonder if there might have been a mistake on his birth certificate. The way this guy plays guitar, his given name should have been Demon instead of Damon Fowler. The fiery guitarist's slide, dobro and lap steel riffs have been snapping heads around since his '99 debut, Riverview Drive, produced and played on by legendary rocker Rick Derringer.
But as he has proved with a string of albums for Blind Pig beginning with '09's Sugar Shack, Fowler doesn't need any help getting his message across. A blend of sacred steel, backwater blues and howling, greasy swamp rock, Fowler's music is a primal, atavistic sound that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. His solo gigs with his skin tight power trio have converted rooms full of strangers into a loyal congregation who now attend his services regularly, and his exposure as half of the twin guitar attack (with J.P. Soars) of the newly convened blues supergroup Southern Hospitality and their March 2013 release Easy Livin' has given him evangelical status among the faithful.
Damon Fowler "Sounds of Home" Blind Pig Records "Sounds of Home" is Damon Fowler's third cd. A lot has happened since he last released 2011's "Devil Got His Way" his second on "Blind Pig". Fowler joined forces with JP Soars and Rufus Wainwright to form "Southern Hospitality", a bluesy southern rock band. Their first much acclaimed Read the full article…

Drown with me
The sand was cool between my toes as I looked up at the blue sky. On a day like this the beach should be packed but no one was here, apart from Jake and I. The water was hypnotysing and I felt in a trance as I walked towards the water, Jake's hand in mine as I struggled over the rocks on the beach-only in England.
I reached the water and the coldness of the sea made me take a deep breath in. I wasn't going to bail-not this time. Continuing into the water it slowly got deeper. By the time it was up to my waist I became unsure, but looking at Jake's face and what I'd robbed him of, I continued.
"Jake.." I whispered. He turned and pulled me into a hug. "what's up? Not going to bail out?" Our heads were touching and I thought. Shaking my head I said "Before I go....under, I wanted to tell you...how sorry I am." His eyes tensed, then relaxed. "Don't be silly, this is showing me" He pulled me even closer and as I looked up, he bent his head towards me and then, well, we were kissing in the sea. It was like a fairytale. Then we continued into sea.
The water went over my head and I started to panic. But Jake was there too look after me, soon we were sinking to the bottom. I pulled myself towards Jake so we were in each others arms again. Looking around the sea I could see how magical and calm it was. Hitting the bottom, I just layed there. Fish were around me and Jake was next to me. I felt calm as I started to drown.
Suddenly someone pulled me up and at the surface I was gasping for air. "Let me drown!" I started shouting, this wasn't right. I supposed to drown, to die, to be with Jake. I was pulled to the shore and my parents were there. Fussing over me. I saw Jake, the look of hatred was all over his face. "I'm sorry" I mouthed at him.

Clearly it no longer exists within government.
"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." ~ P. J. O'Rourke
I just don't see how that is even possible. The warden should be fired. No, make that everyone who had contact with this man and did nothing should be fired. Can you imagine if he had been an illegal alien? The UN would be involved, the prison would have been torn down and a park would be in it's place.

I agree with everything Jeanlouise said, except everyone that had contact with this man and didn't do anything should spend a year in solitary confinement. This story sounds like something from the the Alfred Hitchcock Show.
If you died today and stood in front of God and He asked you " Why should I let you into My Heaven?" what would you say?

Racket Club
You think natures beautiful and all, but you view its attendant peace and quiet as a bit overrated. You see hiking as fun, but you always thought it was missing something like drums, perhaps. Damn, if it isnt your lucky day, because Leslee Jo Klinskys Drum Arizona Hiking Group is striking up the band, and it wants you along for the ride.
All you need is a modicum of stamina, a whiff of self-expression, a vague sense of rhythm, and something to beat on as the group treks up the relatively easy 1.7-mile Javelina Trail at South Mountain Park and Preserve for what ostensibly amounts to a mobile drum circle. Its a great way to commune in nature and play music together, says Klinsky, a former professional drummer. You can visit the outer reaches of reality through drumming. For me, drumming is heavier than acid.
Whoa. But what about all those hikers seeking a peaceful, percussion-free Saturday-morning stroll? We go and scope out-of-the-way places where we dont bother other hikers, Klinsky assures us. And when people do hear us, they usually ask about joining us next time.
Of course, hikers neednt worry about possessing musical talent or an actual drum. Weve had people with woodblocks, a five-gallon plastic bucket, a couple of pan tops, and instruments made out of boxes. And there are a few decent drummers, Klinsky says. But even the people who arent, are usually right on the beat. I mean, I could get pretty annoyed, but I dont. Sometimes, we even manage to end all at the same time.

In the world of realpolitik, governments very often deal in shades of gray.
When it comes to the threat of a nuclear Iran, there is no gray. Only black and white; right and wrong. That nation's renegade regime has openly, even giddily, threatened to obliterate Israel should it acquire the nuclear weapons technology it seeks. Tehran must be stopped.
With the United States leading the way, most of the nations of the world have coalesced around tough Iran sanctions policies. California, too, did its part in 2007 when the legislature passed AB 221, which prohibits the state's two pension funds, CalPERS and CalSTRS, from investing in companies that are doing business in Iran.
As our story on page 3 points out, though CalSTRS, the state teachers' pension fund, has taken some steps to divest, CalPERS has openly flouted the law. Officers with the public employees pension fund flatly refuse to comply, claiming divestment might –– might! –– adversely impact the fund's financial performance.
This despite ample evidence that divestment would likely not hurt the fund, just as it has not hurt the state of Florida or any number of public and private entities that have divested from Iran. And even if the fund were to dip slightly in value, the moral imperative of divestment outweighs any potential losses.
How can CalPERS get away with this?
Unfortunately, the law does not include any punitive measures for noncompliance, which leaves enough wiggle room to get CalPERS off the hook, and leaves lawmakers exasperated.
Apparently the fund's board members think of CalPERS as the 500-pound gorilla, entitled to do whatever it wants. With a portfolio valued at $213 billion, they may think they can ignore the law with impunity. But they would be wrong.
It's high time CalPERS heard from the people of California, certainly from the Jewish community, which has much at stake in this effort.
The decision-makers at CalPERS need to know that Californians support AB 221, insist on the fund's full compliance, and will not tolerate any flagrant disregard of the law.
We are outraged that an important government entity would ignore the will of the people and wink at the mischief Iran would happily unleash on the world.
If you would like to express your opinions directly, contact CalPERS executive staff at (916) 795-3829, or peruse its Web site (www.calpers.ca.gov) for other ways to reach out to them.
We're sure they'll enjoy hearing from you.
