Andrew Bird, 'Hands of Glory'
There is the occasional artist who defies established convention while deepening tradition. Men and women such as these innovate within the framework of what has begotten them. They don't just make the old sound new, they bring resurrection and originality to tried and true methods of creation. Recent years have seen reincarnations of sixties folk archetypes and popular radio seems to be in the business of playing the retroactive. So the old is new again and regression has become progress. Into all of this steps Andrew Bird.
Each Andrew Bird album reassures its listeners that he is in possession of a vocabulary all his own. The sounds he deals in, the whistles and staccato violin he peddles coagulate and form old-soul songs that reject temporal locality. Everything in you wants to pin a particular era's influence on him but he simply won't allow it. From his earliest work to the most recent full-length LP, Break It Yourself, Bird writes songs like Monet used to paint. He is an impressionist through and through, sonically depicting his music in splashes and waves.
The latest release from Bird is something of an anomaly. Not really a collection of b-sides and not really an EP, he's taken to billing Hands of Glory as a companion piece to his last album. It's peopled by covers of old country songs, reworkings of Break It Yourself tracks and a couple out-and-out originals thrown in for good measure. This is no place for the existential and angular jams of "Armchair Apocrypha" or the operatically executed "Mysterious Production of Eggs." It's a down-home, fireside collection of songs that charm but occasionally lose what makes Bird so wonderful in the first place.
Where his other records are influenced by the jazz and folk of the past, amalgamating into a mercurial sound unkind to any who hope to put it in a box, the songs here are largely old fashioned and conventional. "Railroad Bill" is an often covered old folk song and Bird brings little newness to what has been done with it before. He throws in a violin solo sure to invoke smiles but, overall, it lacks the progressive edge he brings to most of his other music.
It's not that any of these tracks are bad, it's just that they probably would have been more appreciated a little later on in his career. Bruce Springsteen's recent Seeger Sessions brought together a bunch of folk covers that could be properly celebrated because he already had a long career of original albums, some hits, some misses, behind him. In such a scenario, a tribute to the old odes of the past is fitting. Hands of Glory jumps the gun a little bit. Bird shows his cards too early. In a way, it's like going behind the scenes and unweaving the rainbow. So here are the influences that went into creating the original music in the first place. It doesn't make the show worse, just a little less magical.
Let's not get too down on the man though. Though less busy and more stripped down, there are some songs here that touch on simple serenity as well as any of his older tracks. As far as the covers go, "If I Needed You" is a brief treatise on the unexplainable pureness offered in easygoing song structures and lovelorn lyrical entreaties.
It should be no surprise that the real hits here are those which Bird composed himself; he is a talented revitalizer but a stellar composer. "Orpheo" is a beautifully soft-spoken, acoustic retooling of his previous album's fast-paced "Orpheo Looks Back." Taking on the old myth of Orpheus's descent into Hades, both versions awaken the listener's ears to Bird's timelessness. His music engages in ancient mythologies, jazz noodling, folk simplicity while all the time pondering the postmodern ethos all around us. He's a walking thesis statement suggesting the human condition probably hasn't altered that much over the centuries after all.
This collection is most praiseworthy for its bookends. "Three White Horses" opens things on an apocalyptic bass groove, eerie but nonthreatening. It sets up the rest of the songs perfectly as a dimly lit house we can casually explore and possibly unravel. His greatest songs always seem to be in possession of a secret just evading the listener's grasp and this opening track is cut from the same cloth. Closing it all out is the wandering, nine minute "Beyond the Valley of the Three White Horses." As a companion piece to Break It Yourself, the album closer is an apt introduction to the world of its predecessor, a backyard opening on to the fields and forests of the previous record.
While a little less awe-inspiring than his other albums, Hands of Glory is something of a guest room in the mansion Bird is building with his entire discography. Other rooms are filled with startlingly original inventions or more grandiose designs but this is the perfect place to relax your musical synapses and enjoy without pretense.

Ten Hottest Canadian Actresses
Since July 1st is Canada Day (it's essentially Canada's birthday) we figured we would honor America's hat with a list of the hottest Canadian Actresses. Canada has given the world many gifts. Whether it's Hockey, Crown Royal, William Shatner, or Steve Nash, there's something for everyone being exported from our friendly neighbor to the north. While they did irresponsibly unleash Justin Bieber onto an unprepared world, they've more than made up for that by also providing a birthplace to the following actresses which frequent both our small and big screens in the United States.
I'm sure you'll notice that the ages range on these ladies a bit, so we listed their most notable work. That is how we prefer to remember them, and thus is how they were ranked, subjectively. Each photo links to a source where you can find tons more photos of these beautiful actresses. Disagree with our list? Let us know in the comments!

I would like to ask you to share your expirience on the risk of frequent re-setting the time of an automatic with a screw down crown.
The watch I have in mind is a TISSOT PRC200 automatic and although it is not a diver, I guess here I can receive the answer to my question.
As it is going to be a daily wearer, I will need to re-set the time often (between 1 and 4 times a month, depending on its accuracy). I was hoping that some of you could tell me how dangerous could this frequent unscrewing-screwing procedure be for the thread of the crown.
Thank you in advance!

Open Source is the way to innovate and users using it should have complete freedom. Google has came forward to declare couple of its patents on Map Reduce under Open Patent Non-Assertion Pledge (OPN Pledge). There are multiple variants of open source license and using that means the product is completely free. Why OPN Pledge is required?
Free Sofware Foundation (FSF) and OSI has approved many licenses and most of them are related to code and coypright licenses. They are not copyleft. These licenses do have some obligations. In Open Source world, you are not necessarly to contribute code. You could contribute idea, which others could develop.
The OPN Pledge is oriented to open source software to which Google has contributed little or no code, or has not otherwise incurred any patent license obligations under patents it owns. The OPN allows us to do more than conventional patent rights transfer mechanisms around free or open software would allow.
Google has come forward and declared its 10 Map Reduce patents under OPN Pledge. In these areas, it might have contributed less in terms of code but it still holds the idea. They now declared that they own these patents or ideas but they don't sue others who use it.
This is great as this will allow others to come forward to pledge their patents. Open Source is the way to innvoate and it requires freedom. You pledge your idea and others may implement it. Still the world knows, you created it.

It's common knowledge that the Microsoft Kin family of handsets suffered from a short life and quick death, with the hardware only being available for a matter of weeks. The poor devices never really saw the light of day when Microsoft's somewhat 'hip' mobile phones launched back in 2010.
Issues ranged from the hardware being too expensive to having too few apps and being slow and sluggish. Internal videos have now been published that show focus groups testing the Kin (using pre-production units that reportedly changed very little from the shipping product). It doesn't look good at all for the ill-fated devices.

Insisting on Forever
Oct 5
Jonathan S. Tobin is incensed in Commentary that Palestinian intellectual Sari Nusseibeh doesn't accept the formula of Israel as "a Jewish State." Nusseibeh feels that the term "Jewish state" implies either a theocracy (if Judaism is a religion) or apartheid (if Jewishness is racial or ethnic). He instead suggests "that Israeli leaders ask instead that Palestinians recognise Israel (proper) as a civil, democratic, and pluralistic state whose official religion is Judaism, and whose majority is Jewish."
As Tobin correctly points out, "that is what it is now and what Israelis and those who support it understand to be a Jewish state." Nusseibeh's is a classic distinction without a difference.
Still, I can't seem to bring myself to care as much as Tobin what Palestinians think about Israel being a Jewish state. "The reason for Israel's demand is simple," writes Tobin. "Unless and until the Palestinians specifically accept that the part of the country they do not control is forever Jewish, the conflict will not be over."
Forever Jewish, he wants from them? Forever is a pretty big deal. Will Israelis agree that even one inch of the West Bank will be forever Palestinian? (Giving up entirely the messianic visions of the Hebrew Bible.) Forever is an entirely unreasonable demand to make of either side. Maybe it's just me, but I say let's work on a practical peace deal for the forseeable future and leave the question of forever to a higher Authority. Both parties should be willing to let the other nation live in peace in its own state, and both parties will doubtless continue to dream of the messianic utopian day in which our side gets all the land back. As long as everybody's stays calm and respectful in the here and now, who cares about competing dreams of forever? Let the songs and dreams embrace and contain the conflict, and let the practical reality contain only peace, tolerance, and mutual dignity and security.
Tobin is right when he says that "Jewish identity is complex, and Israelis may well spend the rest of eternity trying to define themselves." (What a Jewish state means is a topic of constant debate among Jews.) That's all the more reason to say it's an unnecessary waste of time and diplomatic capital insisting that Palestinians call Israel a Jewish state.

Lance Armstrong Sued for Lying
Two former Lance Armstrong fans are suing the disgraced cyclist for fraud and false advertising over his book, "It's Not About The Bike," in which Armstrong claimed repeatedly that he never used performance enhancing drugs.
Rob Stutzman and Jonathan Wheeler filed a class action against Armstrong in California, seeking to recover the purchase price plus other damages because they say they never would have bought the books if they knew "the true facts concerning Armstrong's misconduct."
Armstrong's second book, "Every Second Counts," is also named in the suit, which alleges that the book sales were "based upon the false belief that they were true and honest works of nonfiction when, in fact, Defendants knew or should have known that these books were works of fiction."
The former champion was banned from professional cycling last year for running what the United States Anti-Doping Agency called "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after he decided not to contest the USADA allegations against him. After adamantly maintaining that he never used performance enhancing drugs over his entire career, and frequently denouncing or bringing litigation against people who claimed that he did, Armstrong admitted this month that he was, in fact, using various testosterone boosters and blood transfusions to improve his times.
In a taped television interview with Oprah Winfrey, he called his career narrative "one big lie" and admitted, "my ruthless desire to win at all costs served me well on the bike but the level it went to, for whatever reason, is a flaw."
Consumer Fraud
Consumer lawsuits over falsified memoirs are rare, without a strong track record of victories in the courtroom. "In my opinion, the best legal argument for the plaintiffs is consumer fraud," says Eric D. Morton, a business and intellectual property attorney with the Law Offices of Eric D. Morton. "The theory being that Lance Armstrong produced a book that was purportedly true (non-fiction) when, in fact, large portions of it were lies (essentially fiction)."
There are a few recent precedents for litigation over fabricated memoirs. James Frey, author of "A Million Little Pieces," settled a consumer fraud class action by offering a refund to customers who bought his ostensibly-true book only to learn that it was mostly made up.
Then last year a judge dismissed a suit against Greg Mortenson over his books about school building in Pakistan and Afganistan, "Three Cups of Tea" and "Stones Into Schools." Mortenson had been outed as a liar by author John Krakauer, but a judge called the lawsuit alleging fraud and racketeering to boost book sales "flimsy and speculative."
The Armstrong lawsuit will test the law on fraud and memoirs anew, with a new set of facts. "Consumers were induced to buy a work on the premise that was false," Morton says. "Those facts could also support causes of action for unfair business practices and false advertising. I'll be interested to see how the case plays out."

When they come with a great new cable for signal or power for instance, I put them in a chair, go change things behind the rack, come sit next to them and let them celebrate and point to me the obvious differences in sound.
If they are too exaggerated though, I dont tell them the truth afterwards, Im not so evil ;-))

So let start at the top, so there should be no problem with me looking at the old survey right? And yes, I would get my own survey done AFTER I make a decision on the boat its just a matter of picking the right boat. Again, I've "just" started looking at the live aboard life so right now 40' seems to be a nice place to start and for one person probably pretty damm comfy. To me right now the focus first is: Can I get a boat thats comfortable to live on but still have the ability to pop out of the marina to go fish and play once in a while? Thats where Im at with my decision making process right now. How dumb is that, so Im posting here to ask the experts. Am I on the right page or should I be thinking about XYZ first !
For example, after reading reading Paradise Parrots comment about sitting on 300 gal of gas every day . Holy crap! He knows what hes talking about, did I think of that? Oh heck no, duh, so now that Ive pretty much gone off the idea of gasoline and now Im looking at diesel . Thanks Parrot, decision one has been made.
So now its on to the powerboat versus sailboat and the type of boat to pick. I think for me, not knowing anything about seamanship, navigation, etc, the powered vessel with a motor or two seems a bit safer and a nicer way to learn. When we fish our massive reservoirs here in Alberta (grin) we have the main, our kicker and a little ol trolling motor so between the 3 motors we'll get back to the dock somehow. I kind of want that if I go out in that big ocean stuff on weekends, and I'd confine myself to inside passages and right around home for at least a year till I learn what I need to know.
So generic sedan or trawler or sailboat, I have a friend that has offered to take me out for a month in Hawaii on a 58 sailboat to start to learn the craft and I would be taking navigation courses and stuff as well since I have a ton of things to learn but Im still stuck on power and I have it in my head that it seems to be a safer and easier way to learn the basics. So again folks . Am I right or wrong?
I also have the budget to think of Id like to get a boat for $100K or less, is that achievable!? I scientifically pull that number out of my butt but its not carved in stone. I have one marina picked out thats pretty much setup as a live aboard community with mostly live aboards and floating homes in it near Victoria, Canada Im looking at about $600/mo for a my permanent slip so that works for me.
I found Brains comments about sailboats being better to live aboard over an affordable motor yacht really interesting can anyone add to that!? With my limited knowledge about this overall I would have thought it to be the other way around.
I also like Brains suggestion of a trawler over the sedan but since I will be doing this all myself Id like to get a boat suitable for a permanent live aboard solution first and worry about it actually moving later. So my focus is semi-retirement sitting on my butt in the marina and watching TV and just relaxing, so its more of a home than a blue water cruiser for me right now. Ive seen a couple of 34 foot boats that seem OK for one person and Ive played on a 26 boat that was definitely too small for me personally as a live aboard.
Lastly, one odd question , I have a friend of a friend that owns a Sea Spirit PassageMaker 60 Yacht that has the single Lugger 1276 engine but he also has a Keypower hydraulically driver get-home system .. I cant find much out there on that, does anyone know what that is?
Thanks again for all your comments and suggestions yea, its a sailboat forum . with people who know what theyre talking about works for me!
Hey Dave,
If you are just going to set in a marina all the time and watch tv, with little interest in going out or going far, just get a houseboat. They are very inexpensive, have as much room as a condo, and are a easy transition for you. We have a very good friend that has one and she also keeps a small sailboat to get her sailing fix.
If you plan on only going short distances and when money and weather permit, get a motor yacht of some sort. You will have maximum room for foot:foot, and though they are very expensive to run, you won't hardly do that anyways and will know your costs ahead of time. Difference is that some more distant destinations are at least possible here over a houseboat, though expeisive.
If you plan to go to distant destinations, live off the hook a times (if not a lot), but think your cruising will mostlyt involve going one place and staying there a good bit, get a trawler. They are relatively economical to run, have more space foot:foot than a sailboat, are capable of more distant destinations than most motor yachts, and capabale of taking a beating.
If you plan to really live off the hook or travel to distant destinations, get a sailboat. I don't agree with other posters that you are only limited by the wind, but for the most part, you can do distance travelling in safety and comfort and economically. They are the most economical to run, have the least space foot:foot of any floating vessel, are capable of very distant shores and should be able to take the toughest beating.
THese are all generalities. THere are exceptions to every rule. For example, I would take a Nordhavn places with more peace of mind than I would many sailboats. THere is a motor yacht across from me that has done a circum (of course she's 155 feet and for sale for 24 million dollars and has a f/t crew of 6). There are some sailboats that I wouldn't take furhter from the dock than I could swim back. But, this is a good generality for you to consider.
YOu can get an old motoryacht for 100k. But be aware, the cost of these vessels is largely in the engines which may be abused or worn out. Seperate engine surveys are a must for these boats (IMHO).
My comment about sailboats being better liveaboards than affordable motor yachts was not well explained. I find my 40' sailboat much more comfortable than any Sea Ray I have been on that is anywhere near its price range. But that is our design point (long distance and ocean sailing) which assumes and requires systems and comforts of longer term liveability. for example, we have lots of storage for can goods and all the millions of things that require cruising, we are efficient with propane stoves and ovens versus electric, etc. However, much of this assumes you are going to actually go somewhere and we don't go there flat (over the seas). if you are at marina all the time and would never leave, why not use the electric range typical of most houses (and absent on sailboats)? i mean, you are always going to have electricity anyways?! But that same range underway or off the hook for much time will require a large generator, more fuel, etc. Most of the Sea Rays I have been on have this little two burner electric stove that glimmers because it has never (or rarely) been used. Most of the stoves of sailboats and trawlers I get on look like (or worse than) the typical house stove. Why? Where we go, there may not be restaurants.
Seamanship is seamanship and is not avoidable whether power, sail, or trawler. Seamanship comes into play even at the marina for boats that never leave. DOn't assume because it is a Sea Ray with twin 454's that you can throw seamanship out the window. Nothing is further from the truth. In fact, I think they should be more conscientious of seamanship since their vessel has a vastly higher potential to cause significant damage and death. At 6 knots, not to belittle the impact it can make, but come on! At 40000 lbs and 40 kts, you are a killing machine.
ALso, sailboats are infinitely more "safe" (to use your word) than most motorrized vessels. We can, when all else fails, simply rely on wind to get us from place a:b. If your engine breaks down on your sea ray, and you are out of communications range, you are screwed. You are not paddling that thing home. If you get a motor yacht and ever want to go anywhere on it (much), sure hope you are a proficient mechanic or wealthy. ALso our boats are built to take water and more of a beating. We are typically lower windage than motor yachts, etc.
Just wanted to clear those things up. BTW, i am not against trawlers as I said before. Also, sailing is not hard. Mastering it is, but few of us really have. Sailboats provide thier own unique challenges and every vessel has a tradeoff. You have to pick the one that is most right for you. And honestly, if it is just sitting around watching tv in the marina and hardly ever leaving, no way I would own a sailbaot. It really would be a houseboat.
Take care and good luck in your decision.

Update: Shorts has wisely been placed on injured reserve. His breakout season is over.
Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts had already suffered one concussion this season. That was back on Dec. 2, and before he returned to play two weeks later, Shorts told the media that he would not rush himself back onto the field. He said his health was more important than playing a game. Considering what happened to him Sunday, you can pretty much bet Shorts is going to take the rest of the regular season. Shorts suffered a concussion, his second of the month, during the day's loss to the Patriots. He left in the fourth quarter and finished with six catches for 54 yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
Sunday ended Shorts' streak of five consecutive games with at least 10 fantasy points in games in which he played. The Mount Union product will be an interesting subject leading up to 2013 drafts. He is a big-play threat who has great range for his size and is the team's clear No. 1 wideout. He didn't really become a consistent fantasy option until Week 7, and he still ended up with 925 yards and seven touchdowns. His stock will be tied largely to the status of the Jaguars' quarterback situation (read: Tim Tebow?).

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Here are some tips on making keywords using the Phonetic Mnemonic System. We have already explained how each digit has an associated sound and that these sounds can be constructed into words. The key here is that each digit has a sound, not a letter.
When a single sound is created with two letters, we only count it once. For example, 'toll' is 15 not 155 and 'tack' is 17 not 177.
When a repeated letter makes two different sounds, then it is counted. For example, 'accept' is 7091.
Silent letters are always ignored. For example dumb is 13 and knee is 2.
The Phonetic mnemonic system is similar to the Peg system in that it uses words to represent numbers so that you can recall items non-sequentially. It is more difficult to learn than the Peg system, but once mastered, it will allow you to remember much longer lists (the Peg system has difficulty for numbers over 20).
Whereas the Peg system translates numbers into words by using rhymes, the Phonetic system uses sounds. Each digit from 0-9 is represented by a unique sound.
0 -- z, s
1 -- t, d, th
2 -- n
3 -- m
4 -- r
5 -- l
6 -- j, sh, ch, soft g
7 -- k, q, hard c, hard g
8 -- f, v
9 -- p, b
You can then translate numbers into words by combining these sounds. Notice how only consonant sounds are used. Any non-used sounds (including all the vowels) are irrelevant. They are simply there to help construct the word. For example, the number 29 might be represented by the word 'nap' (n=2 and 9=p). The number 99 could be represented by 'puppy', 'papa,' or 'baby.' You can use the word 'tie' for the number 1.
Use these constructed keywords to make your visual associations and you will be able to recall items in any order.
We learned in Types of Forgetting that interference with other memories is one way that we forget information. Mnemonics such as the Peg and Loci systems rely on pre-memorized cues. As a result, interference can occur when you use the same cues to remember different lists. Typically, the new list will weaken the memory of the older list.
There are two ways to get around this. First, you could construct multiple sets of locations for the Loci system, and multiple sets of pegwords for the Peg system. Use the different sets for different types of memory tasks and you will reduce interference.
Another way to get around this is a technique called "Progressive Elaboration." This involves the modification of your visualization to incorporate multiple items (one from each list). For example, let's say that you are already using the Loci system to link your front door to a zebra. Now you want to use the Loci system to also remember an ice cream cone. With progressive elaboration, you would incorporate all the items into one visualization (the front door with the zebra with the ice cream cone). Now you can remember multiple lists using the same loci or pegwords.
Have you ever had a great idea when you didn't have access to a pen and paper? Maybe you were driving your car, on the bus, running a marathon, or scuba diving. You can use the Loci system to help you remember the idea later. To do this, associate your idea with a location inside your house. The next time you see that location, you will remember your idea and you will be able to write it down.
Amnesia is a condition characterized by the inability to form new memories or the inability to recall existing memories. Amnesia is caused when the hippocampus or thalamus becomes damaged. This can be the result of a blow to the head, a stroke, surgery, alcoholism or certain types of infections.
One of the most common misconceptions about amnesia is that people forget everything that they ever knew. In reality, it's episodic memory which is most impaired. Intelligence, attention and creativity are generally unaffected.
Anterograde amnesia refers to a condition where the sufferer cannot make new memories. They can still recall memories from before the condition started, but not from any experiences that occur after the onset of amnesia. This is because the brain becomes unable to convert short-term memories into long-term memories.
Retrograde amnesia is when the person is capable of forming new memories, but is unable to remember anything that happened before the onset of amnesia. Amnesia patients may experience both types of amnesia to different degrees.
Another misconception, fueled by cartoons and Hollywood movies, is that a second impact to the head can completely reverse the condition. In reality, a second impact would cause increased memory impairment. There are no specific treatments for amnesia, but conditions generally improve over time as the injury that caused it heals.

Agency KesselsKramer and photographer Thomas Mailaender team up for the product, which visualized the sometimes strange, sometimes downright extraordinary comments guests made this year. For example, a note that said "Thank you for providing a refuge to recover from the harsh world of Los Angeles and its dog-eat-dog media business. I've been reborn a better man," was reinterpreted, with the team photographing an actual guest who happened to look a lot like Jesus. Others used internet pranks to respond to comments.

Speak, I think it might take a bit more then that, if you really want to make it work, redraw the whole image in pencil just outlining the shape of you letters and sit there for awhile and let the extensions and connections present themself to you on the blank page, its hard to sort it out with all the color and shenanigans you got going on in there now
so bored.(took me literally 6 minutes and 32 seconds to draw.)
I was gonna sy practice bombs and stuff in your book, but this one doesnt look too bad, and at least youre getting up
do an outline prea, make it pop
@prea, gel that shit red or a lighter green. The inside of the leg that kicks out on the R is weird broo. Tight bomb though
@demot, that's dope man, except that extension above the d. And some of your letter connections are off, but its a dope outline, what were you thinking on the color scheme for it? I'd like to see
dmot- gotta do something with that D

This legal notice controls the waste that is generated from the extraction of resource from local quarries and the backfill of this waste. All the quarries that are extracting resource on the Maltese Islands fall under this regulation and are required to apply for an environmental permit to comply with this regulation and other legislation that control this sector.The permitting programme is spread over a number of phases to facilitate a smooth and gradual implementation of this new legal requirement. For this purpose a survey of all the quarries on the Maltese Islands was carried out and all the operating quarries identified. These quarries were grouped in different clusters based on the geographical location to ease the permitting process. In the coming weeks a meeting will be organised for all the quarry owners to explain the requirements of this regulation, the obligations of the operators and a description of the permitting process.

We review the concepts of the theory of coarse-graining and its mathematical background based on the projection operator technique. The objective of the theory is to derive the Fokker–Planck equation that governs the probability distribution of the coarse-grained variables. The essential practical problem of an explicit coarse-graining procedure from the microscopic dynamics, which is the high dimensionality of state space, is pinpointed. This problem enforces one to model the objects appearing in the Fokker–Planck equation. In this case, the program of coarse-graining helps in producing strong conditions on the possible forms of these objects. In particular, we review the stringent GENERIC structure that emerges when the dynamical invariants can be expressed as functions of the coarse-grained variables. Finally, we illustrate how the GENERIC framework may help in the task of inventing new discrete models for the simulation of complex fluids that are thermodynamically consistent by construction.

Target: The Kit Carson Riding Club
Goal: Praise club's members for rescuing animals from the Black Forest wildfire in Colorado.
The Black Forest Fire burning north of Colorado Springs forced thousands of people to evacuate and as a result many animals were left behind, including horses, small pets, and livestock. The massive wildfire burned over nine days and has been reported as the most destructive one in Colorado's state history. Hundreds of animals were displaced and several died in the rapidly encroaching flames. To the rescue, dozens of members of the Kit Carson Riding Club volunteered to find animals left behind in the evacuation zone and transported them to the club's headquarters where they were kept safe and given a chance to reunite with their owners.
The Kit Carson Riding Club has a long history of promoting horsemanship. Impressive animal rescue efforts can now be added to the club's community interests. More than one hundred and fifty animals including chickens, sheep, goats, llamas, bunnies, dogs, cats, bulls, and horses were brought to the club by rescuers or evacuating homeowners. Some members of the club had tragically lost their own homes and pets to the fire but chose to spend the evacuation period helping to rescue animals in the Black Forest.
The animal rescuers faced many obstacles, including police who had been patrolling the areas for looters, and coaxing frightened, ornery animals who were hesitant to enter trailers and crates. However, many of the animals were successfully calmed by the patient and compassionate animal lovers. Dehydrated animals were given water for the first time in days since their owners had fled.
The Kit Carson Riding Club's work has helped to reunite some of the animals with their owners. It has transferred unclaimed animals to Colorado Equine Veterinary Services in Peyton, Colorado, which has opened its clinic to animals who were displaced or injured by the fire.
Please sign this petition to applaud the club's members for their heroic and humane animal rescue efforts.
Dear Kit Carson Riding Club,
I would like to commend your members for their massive animal rescue efforts during the Black Forest Fire. You have touched the community by bravely taking the initiative to save pets and livestock left behind in the evacuation zone and providing a safe place for them at your club's headquarters. Tragically many animals were separated from their owners during the mandatory evacuation, but your club's hard work gave them a chance of being reunited.
My heart goes out to members of the Kit Carson Riding Club who had also lost their animals and homes to the wildfire. May they take comfort by the peace of knowing that they gave their own animals a loving home while they could. Despite their grief, they had the courage to go out of their way to rescue and care for animals in the community who needed them. Volunteering to save animals from disaster is heroic and inspires others to live up to their potential to relieve suffering. Your club has clearly fostered tremendous compassion in its members. Please continue to serve the community and its animals in need.

Story by Felipe Leon Photos by Felipe Leon and Renzo Novara
After a successful all-female fight card last month, the most prolific Tijuana promoter of the year, Mayen Promotions, hooked up with Zanfer Promotions to showcase a bevy of local talent last night at the legendary Las Pulgas night club located on Revolucion Avenue in the heart of the bustling border city. With soccer fever brewing with the local pro team, Xolos, making it to the final which begin on Thursday, Tijuana sports fans still make it a point to come out and support local favorite Edivaldo "Indio" Ortega (15-0-1, 7KOs) defend his Baja California Super Bantamweight title against Ensenada, Mexico's Francisco Piña (5-5-4, 2KOs) over ten lackluster rounds. The main event was recorded for future broadcast in the United States by Azteca America.
Ortega won the title by unanimous decision over the much more experienced Enrique Quevedo last July. Considered by many as one of Tijuana's promising talents, Ortega has left much to be desired the last year as he has won but looked lackadaisical in his efforts. Piña was coming off two straight losses after a heated draw versus 23-5 Fernando Vargas. Piña also owns two wins over Walter "School Boy" Sarnoi.
After three initial rounds of posturing but not much landing, the southpaw Ortega began to let his hands go in the fourth and began to land straight punches to through the high guard of Piña. Piña would take the punches but look to counter punch with upper cuts as his back was to the ropes and didn't look all that worried. Ortega kept pushing forward in the fifth as he looked to try to finish off his opponent and try to force referee Juan Jose Ramirez to stop the action. Piña defended himself well and even landed a series of punches that made Ortega think twice about closing the gap.
Piña has his best round in the sixth as he tried Ortega's strategy and went after the Tijuana favorite with a barrage of punches. Ortega was able to survive the assault and close the round strong by trapping Piña against the corner and landing power punches to the head. After a busy seventh for both, Piña again took the initiative in the eight but after he took his foot of the pedal and let Ortega control the last three rounds and cruise to the win.
Judge Lorena Gaxiola saw it a wide 99-91 while Sergio Lechuga and Omar Ortiz scored it an inexplicable 100-90. Fightnews scored it a little more generously for the loser, giving Piña three rounds but the win to Ortega by scores of 97-93.
"Gatito" Roars in Comeback
After positioned himself under the wing of promoter Guillermo Mayen, former world ranked Tijuana straw weight Julio Cesar "Gatito" Felix (18-4, 7KOs) worked towards a world title challenge against Moises Fuentes earlier this year but things did not end up as planned as he was stopped in the first round due to a well-placed body shot. In his first fight back, Felix looked impressive as he won a unanimous decision over Mexico City's Noe Media (4-3, 1KO) with scores of 79-73 three times.
Medina came out like a bat out of hell from the opening bell hoping to catch Felix off guard. Medina attacked the body with abandon as he tried to duplicate Fuentes' luck against Felix but the experienced "Gatito" was able to slow down the pace and take control at the end of the round.
From that point on, Felix was punished Medina throughout the clash, scoring with combinations to the head while Medina concentrated more to the body. By mid-bout Felix was easily out-boxing Medina and even began to walk him down and punish him without rest. Medina scored well to the body even as much to make it at times uncomfortable for Felix but not enough to come close to winning the contest.
Other Results:
In the best fight of the night, San Diego light welterweight Israel Arellano (5-0, 4KOs) had to go to hell and back to walk away with a four round unanimous decision over Tijuana perennial loser Adan "Ojitos" Gamboa (1-15). Despite his record, Gamboa proved to be a tough customer as he took everything Arellano dished out including two huge left hooks to the chin and even asked for me. Gamboa even made a case for himself in the last half of the brawl as he scored around Arellano's defense with power hooks and even bloodied his nose. No official scores were announced.
Undefeated Tijuana bantamweight Luis "Panterita" Nery (4-0, 1KO) looked great as he handed previously unbeaten and much taller Joan "Amarillo" Sandoval (1-1-1, 1KO), also of Tijuana, his first loss. Nery was always in control as he darted in and out and scored to the body of Sandoval. Sandoval was never able to catch up to the faster Nery. Official scores were 40-36 and 39-37 twice.
After going down to the canvas in the first from a right hook, bantamweight Heriberto "Tremendo" Delgado (3-0, 1KO) of Tijuana peeled himself off the canvas to stop the enthusiastic first timer Kevin Moreno (0-1) with a straight right in the third. Official time was 2:27.
In a match-up of popular Tijuana light welterweights, Jackie Nava's younger cousin Daniel Nava (4-0-1, 2KOs) and Erick Martinez (0-0-1) fought to a majority draw. Two judges had it an even 38-38 while the third saw it for Nava 39-38.
Super featherweight Jose Galvez (2-0, 2KOs) scored an impressive right hook in the second round over southpaw Ray Galindo (0-1), both of Tijuana. Official time was 1:49.
Hard hitting Tijuana middleweight Antonio Gutierrez (7-0-1, 5KOs) was taken the distance by Israel "La Bestia" Perez (0-1), also of Tijuana, in a four rounder. All three judges, Lorena Gaxiola, Joselyn Ortiz and Diana De La Mora, saw it the same way with scores of 40-36.
Velenzuela's Angel Rodriguez (4-0, 2KOs) scored his TKO over the clearly over matched and visibly over weight Juan Antonio "Panadero" Rivera (0-1). A right hook to the chin near the end of the round did Rivera in. Official time was 2:03.

ST. PETERSBURG — Lakewood (1-1) bounced back from Week 1's surprising upset with a 20-13 win over Palmetto on Friday.
The Spartans' offensive weapons tend to get most of the hype, but the defense came up big with key stops throughout the game. The Spartans finally got on the board when Romello Presely scored on a 16-yard run to put the Spartans up 7-0. Palmetto came back with a score of its own on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Sean Ellison to Brian Waiters to make it 7-6 after the extra point was blocked.
Palmetto struck again when Joshua Hicks outran his defenders for a 78-yard touchdown to put the Tigers up 13-7. In the fourth quarter Ryan Davis hit Jocqui Ellison on a 10-yard strike to give the Spartans a 14-13 lead. Davis sealed the win when he ran untouched 35 yards for the final margin.
"We've got a long way to go and we are getting better every day," coach Cory Moore said. "Now we can concentrate on St. Pete."
