I rarely want to make things harder for citizens...but...
IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL DOCUMENT, ISN'T IT? Amending the state constitution should be a big deal too then. A bill is making it's way through the Legislature that would increase the number of signatures needed to get it on the ballot and require a 2/3 majority to pass. I like these ideas. A lot. I'll explain why today. Have you read the Colorado Constitution? It's very long. Click here to read it.
SO NOW DRIVING AN SUV MAKES YOU A SLAVE OWNER That's not QUITE what was said by an anti fracktivist during a recent forum, but that's what he MEANT. See, he believes that the oil and gas industry have a "moral problem" much like slavery had. That's right, if you use oil or gas, in this guy's eyes, you are practically out back beating your slaves. If this is where things are going, it's time to really whip their asses. See what I did there?
POLITICS ARE BAD! EXCEPT WHEN WE DO IT The Jefferson county education labor union sure does love to talk out of both sides of it's mouth. One the one hand, they decry people who try to make the non-partisan school board election GASP political! On the other hand, they donate a crapload of money to Democrats. And only Democrats. Then there is the way they demand the Board be transparent, as they also demand mediation which takes contract negotiations out of the public view. Hypocrites.
TAKE THAT, NEW STINKING JERSEY I told you yesterday how I felt about stupid Governor Chris Christie and his bash on Colorado when asked about legalizing pot in New Jersey. I'm not the only one who responded strongly. In a crack back I agree with, Hick busted out some rather flattering stats pertaining to Colorado v. New Jersey. I think I know why Christie is so anti-legalization. He doesn't want to put his mobster friends out of business.
AND LET THE ATTACK BEGIN IN EARNEST Senator Mark Udall is skeered. How do I know? Because his first ad attacking Corey Gardner is all about lady parts and abortion and birth control. Because he has NOTHING else to talk about.
SO IF XCEL CAN'T CONVINCE US TO DO WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS, WE HAVE TO PAY? That appears to be what I'm reading here, but see if you can decipher it.
BUT WHAT ABOUT PRE-TAX INCOME COMPARISONS? Now that Paul Krugman is going to be pimping the Luxembourg Income thingy expect to see MANY more stories like this one in the NYTimes. You can read this whole thing but I'll save the trouble. They compared AFTER TAX incomes around the world and the US has lost it's dominance in the middle class. But why not compare PRE TAX income? Then we might begin to see what the problem is.
SHOULD WE HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR POT ENFORCEMENT ELSEWHERE? Nebraska isn't too happy with Colorado right now as they deal with an increase (can anyone find the numbers on that?) in pot traffic through Nebraska. This is an interesting problem that we need to pay attention to, as this is the sort of thing that gives the feds a reason to get involved.
THINK BEFORE YOU INK A man awaiting trial in Kansas is making an odd request. He wants to be able to take a few day trips to the tattoo parlor before his trial. Why? He wants to remove the giant MURDER tattoo from his neck. Before his trial for murder. This was a whole lot of bad decision making on his part finally coming back to bite him.
HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU DO? I think people are losing manners. This quick list from Huffington Post is a great starter list of the ways people suck more now than before. What other bits of rudeness do you have to endure on a daily basis?
SOMETIMES A PICTURE SAYS IT ALL When someone tells you President Obama has saved the economy, please show them this graph of two recoveries: The Reagan recovery and the Obama recovery. And lest you think Obama had a tougher row to hoe, the economy was WORSE when Carter left office. Funny, but I don't remember Reagan ever blaming Carter. Shoot, I don't remember Reagan even MENTIONING Carter.

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Chardonnay (half-bottle) 1998
Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker Notes
Immediately the aromatics of the 98 Chardonnay are classic to any Chardonnay drinker; very ripe apples and pear aromas with the telltale lemon and toasty oak scents from barrel fermentation. The palette is pure tropical fruit and ripe pear flavors with a creamy texture. The extensive aging Surlies barrel fermentation has created an impressively dense and persistent finish.
Critical Acclaim
Francis Ford Coppola WineryView all wine
Francis Ford Coppola Winery, re-opened in July 2010, is the latest venture from Francis Ford Coppola, whose passion for wine, food and adventure is nowhere more evident than in this new production – a winery resort located in the heart of Alexander Valley, California.

JUDGMENT B.S. Chauhan, J.
1. This writ petition has been filed for quashing the order dated 28th May, 2003, by which petitioner had been asked to vacate the Government accommodation as he stood transferred to other hospital and the said accommodation was required for the person transferred in his place.
2. Facts and circumstances giving rise to this case are that petitioner had been working in a hospital and he had been granted the residential accommodation for that purpose. Petitioner stood transferred to other hospital but he did not vacate the house and meanwhile proceeded to United State of America and he has not come back. Meanwhile, the impugned order of vacating the said residential accommodation has been served upon the petitioner's mother, who had filed this writ petition on behalf of the petitioner. Without entering into the merit of the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner issue of maintainability of the writ petition by the mother requires consideration.
3. The issue of filing a writ petition through Power of Attorney-holder or someone else is no more res-integra as it has been considered by the Hon'ble Apex Court time and again. In Charanjit Lal Chowdhary v. Union of India and Ors., AIR 1951 SC 41, the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court held that the legal rights that can be enforced in writ jurisdiction must ordinarily be the rights of the petitioner himself/herself, who complains of infraction of such right and approaches the Court for relief. "The right that can be enforced under Article 226 shall ordinarily be the personal or individual right of the petitioner himself, though in the case of some of the writs like habeas corpus or quo warranto, this rule may have to be relaxed or modified."
4. In the State of Orissa v. Madan Gopal, AIR 1952 SC 12, the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court held that the language of the Article itself shows that the issue of writs or direction by the Court is founded only on its decision that a right of the aggrieved party has been infringed.
5. Again, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court considered this issue in Calcutta Gas Co. (Priprietory) Ltd. v. State of West Bengal and Ors., AIR 1962 SC 1044 and held that except in a writ of habeas corpus or quo warranto, the person can approach the Court only for redressal of his personal grievances.
6. In State of Punjab and Anr. v. Suraj Prakash Kapur, AIR 1963 SC 507, the Constitution Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed as under :
"The existence of a right and the infringement thereof are the foundation of the exercise of the jurisdiction of the Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. The right that can be enforced under Article 226 of the Constitution shall ordinarily be the personal or individual right of the applicant."
7. In State of Orissa v. Ramchandra Dev, AIR 1964 SC 685, the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court held that the concluding words of Article 226 indicate that before a writ or appropriate order can be issued in favour of a party, it must be established that the party has a right and the said right is illegally invaded or threatened.
8. Thus, it becomes quite clear that a party can enforce its individual right through writ jurisdiction. While seeking issuance of writs like habeas corpus and quo warranto, there may be an exception.
9. In Gaddie Venkateswara Rao v. Government of Andhra Pradesh and Ors., AIR 1966 SC 828, the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed as under :
".......... that 'ordinarily' the petitioner who seeks the filing of an application under Article 226 of the Constitution should be one, who has a personal or individual right in the subject matter of the petition."
10. In Jasbhai Motibhai Desai v. Roshan Kumar Hazi Bashir Ahmed and Ors., AIR 1976 SC 578, nearly a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, while explaining the scope of the writ jurisdiction, emphasised that it can be resorted to only by an aggrieved person. The Court observed as under :
"Its scope and meaning depends on diverse, variable factors such as the contents and intent of the statute of which contravention is alleged, the specific circumstances of the case, the nature and extent of the petitioner's interest and the nature and extent of the prejudice or injury suffered by him. English courts have sometime put a restriction and sometime a wide construction on the expression 'aggrieved person.' However, some general tests have been devised to ascertain whether an applicant is eligible for this category so as to have the necessary locus standi or 'standing' to invoke certiorari jurisdiction."
11. In Cyril E. Fernandex v. Sr. Myria Lydia and Ors., AIR 1977 SC 2145; the Apex Court held that a person who is "directly concerned" with the grievance can maintain the writ petition.
12. In Municipal Waraseoni and Anr. v. Satish Chandra Jain and Anr., (1996) 7 SCC 29, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that writ is maintainable only by the aggrieved party and not by some one else and a person cannot be permitted to maintain a writ only by stealing the language of any person, who was in real sense aggrieved.
13. In the instant case, it has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that writ petition has been preferred by the aggrieved party for redressal of his grievances through his mother, and therefore, the principle laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the judgments referred to above, is not applicable. The submission seems to be attractive but hollow in substance, for the reason that the law prohibits to do something indirectly which is prohibited to be done directly. It is settled proposition of law that what cannot be done "per directum is not permissible to be done per obliquum", meaning thereby, whatever is prohibited by law to be done, cannot legally be effected by an indirect or circuitous contrivance on the principles of "quando aliquid prohibetur, prohibetur omne per quod devenitur ad illud.
14. In Jagir Singh v. Ranbir Singh, AIR 1979 SC 381, the Apex Court observed that an authority cannot be permitted to evade a law by "shift or contrivance." While deciding the said case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court placed reliance on the judgment in Fox v. Bishop of Chester, (1824) 2 B & C 635, wherein it has been observed as under :
"To carry out effectually the object of a Statute, it must be construed as to defeat all attempts to do, or avoid doing, in an indirect or circuitous manner that which it has prohibited or enjoined."
15. Thus, it is crystal clear that law prohibits to do something indirectly which is prohibited to be done indirectly.
16. In a case like this, it becomes immaterial whether the power of attorney-holder or someone else files a case in his name for the person aggrieved or person aggrieved files a case through the power of attorney-holder. Therefore, the petition is not maintainable.
17. Petition stands dismissed accordingly.

The largest wind farm in the southern hemisphere is to be built in Victoria's south-west.
The 140-turbine, $1 billion Macarthur wind farm, which will produce enough energy to power more than 220,000 homes, is slated for completion by early 2013.
"This is in fact the biggest investment in renewable energy in Australia since the Snowy Mountains scheme," Victorian Premier
Speaking at the launch of the project, which is backed by
He rejected claims that his climate change plan was closer to federal opposition policy than that promoted by Prime Minister
The Victorian government's pledge to cut emissions by 20 per cent on 2000 levels in the next decade relies heavily on a partial shutdown of Hazelwood power station, with state and federal compensation paid to the operators.
Some experts have noted this approach is more in keeping with federal Opposition Leader
But Mr Brumby rejected that analysis, saying the federal government had indicated it was happy to discuss the option of helping pay to shut down Hazelwood.
Federal Climate Change Minister

The opposition policy could mean that the company would "redirect our investment dollars elsewhere in Australia", he said.
Meanwhile, the controversy over the shareholdings of Victorian opposition MPs intensified after Finance Minister
But Ms Lovell said last night she had never owned any shares in Westpac, as alleged by Mr Holding.
"He should apologise,'' she said.

Dating Games: Bush Supporter Courts Texans as Democrats are Hot Again
A question missing from the recent Tom Schieffer interview, executed by excellent Burnt Orange Report writer Todd Hill, could have been "What have you done for me lately?" If you haven't read the interview, you should.
Call me selfish or just an Austinite, but when reading about Schieffer, potential Texas gubernatorial Democratic candidate, and a Bush-appointed Ambassador to Japan & Australia, I spend most of my time like a girl on a bad date: Pushing food around on my plate, trying to find a spark with the guy, and unable to see past his eau de motor oil (true story) or the fact that he carries a credit card with a large-mouth bass on it (also true – don't ever date a veterinarian).
In Schieffer's case, it's neither an odor or fishing hobby that distracts me. Instead, it's his longstanding friendship with George Bush – yes, that one – that makes me not want to order dessert.
Granted, like Garth reminds us, we've all got friends in low places. For Schieffer, it's unfortunate that his low friend happens to have such a high profile. And if you're going to run for Governor as a Texas Democrat, you're going to have to cheat on Bush (or, and this is optional, publicly humiliate him) before you manage to get this girl's vote.
If I squint my eyes just right (okay, I have to shut them), I can understand Schieffer's support of a gubernatorial W. After all, they met while they were working with the Texas Rangers (we're talking baseball here, not law enforcement). We've all got our Rangers memories, mine being that I was at a perfect game pitched by Kenny Rogers Jr. in 1994. I'd still be friends with the raging drunks sitting in front of my dad and me if they'd managed to get any words out other than "Throw 'im the heeeeter!" I think this must be similar to the Schieffer-Bush good ol' days, forged together by hot dogs and halogen lights.
But it's not 1994 and the Rangers suck now. George Bush's batting average doesn't seem to have held up that well either. That's why I cringed when I read Schieffer's response to whether he was loyal to the state and nation as opposed to Bush. "George Bush is a friend of mine," Schieffer said. "George Bush and I don't have the same politics, particularly on domestic issues." So they don't have the same politics on domestic issues. But what about international issues? That whole torture thing and cooked up war on terror? Agree or disagree?
But back to our date. Schieffer's friendship with Bush, and seemingly continued support of his friend, is kind of the quirky "Did he really just do that?" feeling you get when your date is discussing the various ways to prepare squirrel meat for human consumption (again, the veterinarian). It's clearly not in line with any values you might have, or anything you might endorse, but Democrats, like single, lonely women, can be desperate lovers. We can fall for a nice suit and tie, someone who buys us dinner, or even someone who promises us a good time.
Yet this is no date. We can't be deluded by white picket fences and engagement rings. At the end of this, Democrats are left staring at someone with a core value completely different from ours, and a question: What have you done for Texas lately? What will you do for me? Schieffer remains a question mark, an out-of-touch, former-legislator-turned-overseas-diplomat who, upon his recent return to Texas, needed to drive around the perimeter of the state with a copy of Texas Monthly's Best BBQ joints issue just to remind himself of what Texans need.
Some of us have been here the last eight years. We know all too well. No disrespect to Texas Monthly, but Texans don't need a weatherman to tell which way Cooper's is.

This type of financing places the amount of increased taxes from improvements in the actual park area into a fund which is then used to pay off the bonds, each time the owners of the park pay their property taxes.
The bonds are non-recourse bonds which means neither the county nor the city would be liable to pay the bonds off if the venture failed. They are backed by the credit of the developer.
Dr. Mark Burton, UT economist, again presented an economic impact study. He also explained that while the original figures used were collected by the developer, he did double check the accuracy of those figures before preparing this report.
Burton also pointed out that this type of development is usually less expensive in terms of infrastructure than most other types.
"It isn't no-cost, but it's lower than using the same area for town houses, for example," he said.
Also in part due to a letter from a local resident Dave Kirkey, Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Gerald Nicely sent Mayor Don Fox a "Letter of Intent" describing how the TDOT could help with funding for a connector road and improvements at both interstate exits which would serve the park.
"This is the strongest letter of intent I've ever seen without first submitting plans," Fox said.
The Bible Park USA is proposed to be built on a 113-acre tract that fronts I-40 between Cainsville Road and Tater Peeler Road. Estimated cost of the development is $175 million.

Citation: STANTON, T.L., WHITTIER, J.C., GEARY, T.W., KIMBERLING, C.V., JOHNSON, A.B. EFFECTS OF TRACE MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION ON COW-CALF PERFORMANCE, REPRODUCTION, AND IMMUNE FUNCTION. PROFESSIONAL ANIMAL SCIENTIST. 2000. v. 16. p. 121-127. Interpretive Summary: Supplementing elevated levels of trace minerals to deficient cows (based on liver biopsies) appeared to have little impact on cow body weight and condition score change. Organic trace mineral supplementation enhanced early reproductive performance and calf average daily gain, compared with inorganic trace mineral supplementation.
Technical Abstract: Three hundred Angus cows were used in a randomized design to evaluate tract mineral supplementation over a 209-d trial on cow and calf performance, liver trace mineral content, and immune function. Treatments included the following supplemental trace minerals: 1) inorganic trace minerals-low level; 2) inorganic trace minerals-high level; and 3) organic trace minerals-high level. Cows fed the high level of inorganic trace minerals lost more weight (P<0.05) than cows fed the other treatments. Cow condition score was not affected by treatment. Calf average daily gain on the organic high level of trace minerals was higher (P<0.05) from birth to May 13 and May 13 to September 24 compared with the other treatments. Pregnancy rate to artificial insemination was higher (P<0.05) when cows were fed the organic high level of trace minerals compared with the other treatments. Trace mineral supplementation had an equivocal impact on liver trace minerals over time. Cell-mediated immune function was not affected by type or level of trace mineral supplementation.

The Shared Research Computing Services Pilot (ShaRCS) is part of a collaborative effort of University of California Campus Information Officers (CIOs) and Vice Chancellors for Research (VCRs) to realize the benefits of creating a world-class UC Research Cyberinfrastructure (CI) and learn how it can effectively operate at a UC-wide level. Managed through the UC Office of the President (UCOP), the ten UC Universities and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have embarked on this pilot project to provide a high-performance shared research computing resource for researchers across the UC system.
Read more about the ShaRCS project
This project is part of a UC-wide process to strategically invest in IT initiatives that will further advance the University's academic mission and enhance its competitiveness.
A significant and growing base of researchers now requires computational and data storage resources that exceed what can be provided and managed through individual grants and locally provided resources. Rising energy costs along with cost of facilities, power, cooling, space, and staffing associated with running multiple distributed computer cluster systems throughout campuses has put UC at a competitive disadvantage relative to peer institutions that are making significant investments in institutional computational and data storage resources. Shared research cyber infrastructure allows individual investments to be aggregated for greater research capability and leveraged across the entire UC system. Shared cyber-infrastructure enables UC researchers to compete more effectively for grants involving team-based, interdisciplinary research while reducing UC's utility costs and reclaiming valuable research space.
The next Oversight Board Meeting is on 4/27. The focus of this meeting is on creating a sustainable funding and business model for this shared cluster.
After testing the system with early test users, the system is now ready for the remaining users for this pilot. Both LBNL and SDSC teams are working on engaging all pilot users.
The production systems are up and we are in the process of engaging a handful of principal investigators as early test users on the system.
Mako cluster will not be accessible to users from Thursday, April 15, 8:00 am PDT to Tuesday, April 20, 5:00 pm PDT.
The ShaRCS cluster Thresher will be unavailable on Monday, April 12, and Tuesday, April 13, to complete the replacement of the InfiniBand switch.
Over the next few weeks, we will be working to replace the InfiniBand switch in the ShaRCS cluster Thresher. During this time, there will be some unavoidable periods of reduced capability and downtime.

McCoy Tyner
Tyner grew up in Philadelphia, where Bud Powell and Richie Powell were neighbors. As a teenager he gigged locally and met John Coltrane. He made his recording debut with the Art Farmer-Benny Golson Jazztet, but after six months left the group to join Coltrane in what (with bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones) would become the classic quartet. Few other pianists of the period had both the power and the complementary open-minded style to inspire Coltrane, but Tyner was never overshadowed by the innovative saxophonist. During the Coltrane years (1960-1965), the pianist also led his own record dates for Impulse.
After leaving Coltrane, Tyner struggled for a period, working as a sideman (with Ike and Tina Turner, amazingly) and leading his own small groups; his recordings were consistently stimulating even during the lean years. After he signed with Milestone in 1972, Tyner began to finally be recognized as one of the greats, and he has never been short of work since. Although there have been occasional departures (such as a 1978 all-star quartet tour with Sonny Rollins and duo recordings with Stephane Grappelli), Tyner has mostly played with his own groups since the '70s, which have ranged from a quartet with Azar Lawrence and a big band to his trio. In the '80s and '90s, Tyner did the rounds of labels (his old homes Blue Note and Impulse! as well as Verve, Enja, and Milestone) before settling in with Telarc in the late '90s and releasing a fine series of albums including 2000's Jazz Roots: McCoy Tyner Honors Jazz Piano Legends of the 20th Century and 2004's Illuminations. In 2007, Tyner returned with the studio album McCoy Tyner Quartet featuring saxophonist Joe Lovano, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts. ~ Scott Yanow

Bill's character fuses so many high concepts — he's an orange alien implanted into a cyborg/horse clone body with his own version of Mjolnir as made by the king of Norse gods — that fans almost choke on coolness, but thanks to Simonson's legendary stories Beta Ray Bill has melted the hearts of fans for almost three decades. It's about time he got his own Minimate!
Thor, Sif and Loki all look groovy rocking Simonson era garb, as well. Did I mention Walt Simonson is awesome? Because he is.

Gazella's Newest Health Book Documents Wide-Reaching Health Benefits of Modified Citrus Pectin
SANTA ROSA, Calif., June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ One of the nation's leading writers on the use of naturopathic medicine has released a new book documenting groundbreaking studies on modified citrus pectin (MCP) and its application for addressing serious health issues like cancer, heart disease, chronic inflammation and fibrosis.
The book, New Twist on Health: Modified Citrus Pectin for Cancer, Heart Disease and More by Karolyn A. Gazella, centers on the integrative medical breakthroughs brought about through the study of MCP. A commonly used nutraceutical ingredient, MCP is a specialized form of citrus pectin that is modified for enhanced absorption and therapeutic benefit. MCP has been the subject of numerous preclinical and clinical studies and is currently being investigated as a treatment for serious medical conditions including congestive heart failure, fibrosis, cancer metastasis, cirrhosis, asthma and more. It has also been clinically proven to gently remove heavy metals and environmental toxins from the body without affecting essential minerals.
"MCP could have a wide range of applications to help patients and medical professionals address some of society's most pressing health challenges, and I am thrilled to release a book detailing this important work," said Gazella. "The discovery and development of MCP is a subject on which every medical practitioner should be informed. This book provides the essential background and insight into the formation of what could potentially be one of the most important integrative medical breakthroughs of the century."
New Twist on Health describes the way in which MCP has been shown to inhibit the inflammatory protein galectin-3, which is associated with cancer progression and metastasis, congestive heart failure, chronic inflammation and fibrosis, as well as a variety of other medical conditions. MCP absorbs into the bloodstream, binding to excess galectin-3 and blocking this "rogue protein" from being expressed. The book specifically analyzes the research behind PectaSol-C , currently the only clinically proven brand of MCP on the market.

Hal Leonard Releases Song Charting Made Easy
Musicians Will Appreciate Book/CD Pack from Rascal Flatts Drummer
MILWAUKEE – If you're a songwriter who needs to chart out your latest composition, or the guy in the band who has to rewrite chord charts whenever someone decides to play a song in a different key, Jim Riley's going to save you some serious time and energy. Riley, a highly accomplished musician and the drummer for Rascal Flatts, wrote Song Charting Made Easy: A Play-Along Guide to the Nashville Number System. Hal Leonard will present this unique title for all musicians at Summer NAMM
Song Charting Made Easy teaches the famous "number system" of notation – a staple in the fast-paced Nashville session community – in a methodical way that's easy to understand. Using this system, any musician can learn how to write one concise chart that the whole band can use: we're talking about an entire song, on a half sheet of paper, in less than five minutes! The accompanying CD features more than 90 musical examples for demonstration and reference.
Riley covers the basic principles of the Number System, as well as these topics: major and minor chords; straight and syncopated rhythms; repeat signs and odd meters; inversions, accidentals, and non-diatonic chords; accents, pedal tones, advanced voicings, and key changes; integrating standard notation; and much more.
For more information or to place an order for Song Charting Made Easy (00311820 / $19.99) from Hal Leonard, please visit your local music store or contact Music Dispatch (1-800-637-2852, www.musicdispatch.com).
About Jim Riley
Jim Riley was born in Boston and showed interest in music from an early age. He played in his high school band, and studied with the percussionist from the Boston Symphony. Riley earned his Music Education degree from the University of North Texas, where he was heavily involved in the jazz, orchestra, wind ensemble, percussion ensemble and marching percussion programs.
Upon graduation, Riley taught percussion studies for a Texas school district, and in 1995, moved to Kansas City to pursue his dream of becoming a professional musician. While recording with local guitarist Jeff Scheetz, he took a job with Kansas City Drumworks, building and selling custom drums. He began his long relationship with the VPR Creative Group as a writer and performer with the Sticks of Thunder percussion ensemble.
In 1997, Riley moved to Nashville. Less than a year later, he was playing with country star Mark Chesnutt and outlaw rocker Hank Williams III. The turning point in Riley's career came in 2000, when he took the job as drummer and band leader for Rascal Flatts. The group has sold in excess of 10 million records, and is the most successful country group of the new millennium. In addition to his work with Rascal Flatts, Riley keeps busy playing sessions in Nashville.

The Edge ... there's no honest way to describe it. The only ones who know where it is have gone over.
Yep, we did it on our block. We didn't lock our door though, and I don't think anyone else on our block did either. I am guessing that there were somewhere between 20 and 25 local leo's that showed up, including several detectives, a leutenant, and a captain, and one truck of firefighters/emt's.
We had around 30 to 40 neighbors and friends show up. We served brisket, ribs, chicken, pork chops, hamburgers, sausage, hot dogs, beans, potato salad, tossed salad, red beans and rice, corn bread, Red Lobster cheese rolls, coblers, pies, and gave away some Walmart gift cards.
For our first one on this block I think it went very well. The officers said that the food at ours was better than any of the previous ones they have been too. If nothing else, we found out that folks on our block can definately cook. I knew, or have talked to about 5 of the officers that showed up.
I believe we will be doing it again next year, and expect that there will be more leo's and firefighters show up. I have a suspicion that they were radioing and letting others know where the good food was.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Mar 5, 2013.
He may be "from earth" but I think his skating style is just heavenly! Can't wait to see him at Worlds!
Wishing him the very best at Worlds.
Misha seems such a mature and focused person. No doubt being a "citizen of the world" has something to do with that.
I hope his approach and ability to relate to the public brings new audiences to skating, as well.
I'm really looking forward to see him at Worlds.
He's not the most polished skater out there, but he's so enthusiastic and a breath of fresh air. With some it sometimes feel like a job (which can be understandable actually) - with him, it's always about having fun and involving the audience, without neglecting the technical content either. And you can tell, from his twitter to his interviews, that he has a genuine love for his sport - big respect for that!
Hope he'll the way only he can
PS: I just have to at the comments re: Plushenko's artistry. There's some familiar stuff in there.....
I didn't know he's had problems with obtaining visas for competitions, or that he had competed for China at one time. Bizarre! He was definitely one of the highlights of the 2012 4CCs, his SP was amazing. Hope he does well at Worlds
My god, and I thought my family moved round alot when I was a child
Is this who you are talking about?
He looks quite fit.
He tweets about his visa issues when he has them, and a number of times he's received them at the last minute and has to submit extra paperwork. For a while this fall, visa were his part-time job.
I wish there was a fast-track system for athletes, like NEXUS or GOES, where they could be background-checked in depth and then get clearance by submitting incremental info only.
I just love his enthusiasm. He's so cute on twitter and always seems to appreciate other skaters and the fans so much. I wish him well at Worlds.
Misha answers questions from Japanese fans at 4CC. He reads off the questions and answers them in a half hour video interview:
He's a very personable and charismatic young man. His description of his relationship with Plushy is very sweet.
Thank you for the video. I like this guy! Another interview in 2012.
Thank you for these videos. He is very lovable.
And now it would appear that Ge is from Beijing. So I take it that he is no longer working with Frank Carroll?
THX! Good for him! Interesting informations...
He hasn't been working with Frank Carroll since late summer/early fall and had been training with his dad in LA.
His travels remind me of Lucinda Ruh: Born in Switzerland but lived in Japan, China, Canada, the US, and I'm probably missing a few others.
Wow, interesting. I wonder if he's training with the Chinese national team, or at a private rink. Maybe his parents got coaching appointments in Beijing at some of the private clubs?
Interview in July 2013: http://skateguard1.blogspot.ca/2013/07/interview-with-misha-ge.html
Misha Ge (UZB) tweeted the link to his FS (Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43 by Sergei Rachmaninoff) from last month's Asian Open comp. in Bangkok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QMAZ5eFdas
His SP video link from the same competition (re-posting from the earlier programs thread):
Misha Ge (UZB) has uploaded his SP video from the Asian Open and written an explanation to go with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V5SkJlYnY0
An excerpt:
That's a very nice sp. Especially the the second half. Most expressive. Lp not available on mobile so can't comment. But he seems to be going in the right direction to potentially medal at worlds.
Misha Ge tweeted yesterday that he decided to withdraw from this week's Salt Lake Senior B - he received his travel documents too late to make his travel arrangements. You can read his full message here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rmc3hk
From the March 2013 interview (Misha Ge later relocated to Beijing to live and train this past summer):
Interview excerpts:
Unfortunately, Ge had to withdraw from last week's Cup of Nice due to more visa/travel paperwork issues. This was the series of tweets on Oct. 10 that explained what happened:
If only China would invite him to replace Kevin Reynolds at this week's Cup of China in Beijing where he currently lives...
Poor Misha. I love his enthusiasm and hope he gets a chance to skate at Cup of China.
Really! Why not!! Misha there competing would be grrrreat!!!
Is it possible? The jury is still out? I would like to see him on COC!! I can't wait the decision!!!
No, Ge is not in the starting order

Embodied communication in the distributed network
Hamilton, Jillian G. (2008) Embodied communication in the distributed network. In Wyeld, Theodor G., Kenderdine, Sarah, & Docherty, Michael (Eds.) Proceeding of 13th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia (VSMM'07) : Virtual Systems and Multimedia, 23-26 September 2007, Brisbane, Australia.
Through the adaptation of new technologies, the creative industries are proposing new forms of interaction for the distributed network. This paper considers the new media artwork Intimate Transactions as an example of a creative, experimental approach to interaction and network technology. It discusses this artwork's design of physical interaction, which includes whole-body interaction with a hands-free input device; the incorporation of choreographed interaction with its screen characters; the production of generative, multi-sensory feedback around a dramaturgical model; and the use of haptic devices to relay bodily movement across the network. It explains how this physical interaction produces a sense of flow that perceptually suspends awareness of the work's actual site in favour of a shared virtual space. It then considers how this shared space becomes activated by multi-sensory feedback, including the physical sensation of touch. It concludes that these innovative approaches to physical interaction help to establish the potential for embodied communication and co-presence within networked space.

William Gallas has revealed Andre Villas-Boas has held detailed discussions with his squad to try to correct their defensive jitters in the later stages of matches.
Tottenham are fourth in the table after 17 games but have been hampered by their weakness in the closing period of many fixtures, to such an extent that had Premier League fixtures ended after 80 minutes rather than 90 this season, Spurs would now be top.
The 1-0 win over Swansea on Sunday was only Spurs' third clean sheet of the campaign in the league, and they survived in that game despite clear signs of nerves at the end. Gallas admitted the players had recently been studying specific footage of their games in an attempt to correct these flaws.
"We've had a meeting with him because we've been conceding late goals and we have to be a little bit more focused, a bit more strong," said the French defender. "Sometimes maybe we are panicking and we've let goals in.
"So we've been working very hard and we've had some meetings to look at the video to see what is good and bad, and against Swansea it was good to keep a clean sheet.
"In this period, we have a lot of games and some players are tired – they have already played more than 20 games this season, which is a lot. It's very intense.
"If we want to stay in the top four, we have to get all the players ready for the matches over Christmas and New Year, because we are going to be playing four games in 11 days."
Tottenham's next match is against Stoke on Saturday, followed by a trip to Aston Villa on Boxing Day. Two days later, Spurs travel to Sunderland before Reading come to White Hart Lane on January 1.
Although Villas-Boas' team have sometimes struggled this season against teams in the lower half of the table, they are sure to look at these fixtures with some optimism given their good recent form.
Spurs have won four of their last five fixtures in the league and Gallas added on talkSPORT: "Stoke are a strong side and it will be difficult but we've got the quality, we can play football and we're playing at home, so we don't have any excuses to lose the game.
"Then we play Villa, who are on fire at the moment after winning 3-1 at Liverpool in their last game, and at the moment they are confident.
"They have Christian Benteke in attack, who has shown this season what a good player he is. At the moment, we are in the top four and they are trying to survive in the Premier League, so it will be a good game."Reuse content

- Description
DetailsInstallation instructions:
To ensure proper thread engagement and accurate torque readings, clean ALL threads in the block (ideally with a thread chaser or tap).
Clean and inspect all hardware prior to installation. Look for obvious defects or shipping damages, plus proper fit, length and dimension.
Screw studs into the block "HAND TIGHT ONLY". NOTE: LOCTITE MAY BE USED IF A PERMANENT MOUNTING OF THE STUDS IS PREFERRED. THE FASTENERS, HOWEVER, MUST BE TORQUED PRIOR TO THE LOCTITE SETTING UP.
Install the main caps and check for binding or misalignment.
Lubricate the stud threads, nuts and washers with ARP ULTRA-TORQUE FASTENER ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT. Then install the washers and the nuts onto the studs and tighten them hand tight.
ARP recommends using the ARP ULTRA-TORQUE FASTENER ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT that is provided with each kit as opposed to engine oil. This is due to higher friction on the studs as well as inconsistencies in the clamping force of the fasteners when engine oil or other low quality lubricants are used.PRELOAD (TORQUE) RECOMMENDATIONS:
Following the manufacturers recommended torque sequence tighten the nuts in three equal steps to 60ft lbs with ARP ULTRA-TORQUE FASTENER ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT.Ford Duratec HE I4 16v (4 cylinder)

On the occasion of Armed Forces Flag Day, an appeal goes out to the PM, HM and the Government, to work towards helping the cause of Defence veterans
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh, lawyer, activist and former Army reservist Navdeep Singh, has appealed to both authorities to address issues faced by Armed Forces Veterans. On the occasion of the Armed Forces Flag Day this year on 8th December, it is important that we as a nation address the problems faced by army veterans. The Flag Day was begun by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru when he was PM, to remind the nation that it must come together to contribute to the welfare of soldiers, the letter says.
The letter is endorsed by Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Kiran Bedi, Moneylife Foundation's Sucheta Dalal, Retired Admiral Arun Prakash and many other senior ex-servicemen and civilians.
The letter's focus is on three main points that the signees hope will be addressed by the government on an urgent basis:
• Direct Ministry of Defence to withdraw litigation initiated against disabled soldiers and military widows related to the subject of their disability and pensionary benefits at the earliest.
• Constitute a committee, with stakeholders and independent experts as members, to resolve all policy anomalies which have given rise to litigation in issues concerning military veterans and widows.
• Ensure that officers serving in the Ministry of Defence in general, and Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare in particular, are sensitised towards the needs and requirements of the military community and realise that it is their pious obligation to serve soldiers, veterans and their families, giving them due respect and dignity which they deserve.
Reminding the PM and the HM of their manifesto where they promised to 'minimise appeals' against ex-servicemen and their disability and other benefits, the letter also points to promises made by PM Modi in his election speeches on this count.
Keeping in mind the sacrifices and losses suffered by not just army-men, but also their families and loved one, there is an urgent need to make sure that a retired or injured ex-serviceman is accorded every facility and courtesy in tribute to his or her work for the nation.
Here is the letter sent to PM Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, and the Indian govt…

Wogan bows out of Eurovision with a vote for fun
By James Kilner
MOSCOW (Reuters Life!) - Sometimes glitzy, often kitsch and always contentious, the Eurovision Song Contest is the very height of light television entertainment, Britain's veteran commentator Terry Wogan said on Thursday.
Moscow will host all 42 entrants next week for the 54th Eurovision Song Contest -- which attracts at least 100 million television viewers each year -- after singer Dima Bilan won for Russia in Belgrade last year.
"It's the world's greatest international television event," Wogan told Reuters by telephone.
The veteran broadcaster, radio and television personality was renowned in Britain for his tongue-in-cheek approach to commentating on the contest for the BBC.
"You could take it seriously as a production and that would be the right thing to do but you must also take it lightly. It's not a feast of fantastic music, it's light entertainment and it's fun."
But the 70-year-old Wogan, who has commentated on the Eurovision Song Contest since 1971, will not be traveling to Moscow for the competition this year. He will be replaced by TV chat show host Graham Norton.
"I decided that having done as many years as I have since about 1971, that it was time to make for the exit before somebody showed it to me," he said.
This year entrants from Portugal to Israel will compete at a stadium in central Moscow, built for the 1980 Olympics and nestled between a green mosque and Soviet highrise buildings. Continued...

[WORLD CUP 2014] The USA began its World Cup preparations on Wednesday with 21 of 30 players on hand and all expected by the end of the weekend. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann has until June 2 to cut his roster down to 23 players, and he says he may need until then to get it done. "We have 50-50 battles all over the place," he said.
While the USA's three Group G opponents don't begin training until next week as they await the release of all their players following the end of the European club season --
Portugal will have to wait another week to get Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid after the UEFA Champions League final -- Klinsmann's troops were greeted by
unseasonable heat on the opening day of camp. For the 4 p.m. session at Stanford Stadium, temperatures hit 98 degrees.
Klinsmann says his players have catch-up to do in comparison to its
three opponents. "Their foundation is different than ours," said Klinsmann of his squad that includes 15 MLS players who are only in their third month of play.
Some would argue that it's
better to have fresh legs than have players exhausted after a 10-month season. Klinsmann sees it differently. "A lot of our guys do not have the same foundation as our opponents have," he said,
emphasizing the point he has been making to MLS coaches.
"We have to catch up," added. "That's the work we have to do now over the next three weeks before we start our tournament.
Hopefully, we catch up and even add a little bit more on top of it. That's what starts today."
Absent were players for various reasons. Matt Besler and Graham
Zusi had an MLS game with Sporting Kansas City, while Michael Bradley had an Amway Canadian Championship match with Toronto FC. Mix Diskerud was flying in from Norway. Jermaine Jones (Besiktas) and Aron Johannsson (AZ) have club
matches this weekend that have important implications for European berths. Tim Howard, Brad Guzan and Geoff Cameron -- all the players based in the English Premier League -- were given off until Sunday. (Maurice Edu, who was ruled out of
Philadelphia's MLS game with a concussion, joined the U.S. national team in training at Stanford University, though Klinsmann said he was limited to non-contact training.)
intentions are not to run his players into the ground during the two-week camp that ends with a match against Azerbaijan May 27 in San Francisco.
"We combine it all in an exciting
way," he said. "With the ball, with small-sided games with a lot of action there, so we're not going to be running through the forest here even if it's beautiful."

Learning How to Make a Smartphone App
Apple's App Store and Google Play have hundreds of thousands of smartphone apps. When it comes to the megabytes, however, apps are tiny things. The average smartphone app takes up about the same amount data as any 3-minute song you can buy on iTunes.
So how hard is it to create one of these itsy-bitsy pieces of software?
This week on WNYC's New Tech City, Stan Alcorn and Tracey Samuelson — reporters with no programming experience — explore the resources and classes available for wanna-be smartphone app developers.
According to Apple, app developers have received more than $6.5 billion in royalties since the App Store launched in 2007. A report from the Yankee Group estimates that revenues from apps could grow to $97.6 billion by 2016.
But as our intrepid reporters find out, it's not easy money.
"A lot of programmers sort of get frustrated at this whole 'learning to code is easy' movement," says Zach Sims, founder of Codecademy. "It's definitely not easy."
