|Rickie Lee Jones chronology
Rickie Lee Jones is the debut album of singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones. After arriving in California in the mid-1970s, Jones started taking songwriting more seriously, and by 1977 had met singer-songwriters Chuck E. Weiss and Tom Waits (Jones consequently became romantically involved with Waits).
Jones had begun playing live in the Los Angeles area at the age of 21, and after meeting singer-songwriter Alfred Johnson, the pair began writing and performing live together (most notably at the Ala Carte club.) Two of their collaborations, "Weasel and the White Boys Cool" and "Company," would later be recorded for Jones' debut album. She also sang jazz standards, as well as a song penned by her father ("The Moon Is Made of Gold") in her live sets.
Jones' performances around Los Angeles aroused interest from other local songwriters, as well as local record company executives. At a label showcase, Jones performed originals, including "Chuck E.'s in Love", "The Real Thing Is Back in Town" and "The Moon Is Made of Gold." This showcase performance, plus a demo containing "The Last Chance Texaco", "Easy Money", "Young Blood" and "After Hours" led to a record deal with Warner Bros.. For her major label debut, Jones scrapped "The Real Thing Is Back in Town," but used the titular line in one of the album's tracks - "Coolsville."
Recording sessions (which began in September 1978) yielded eleven songs for inclusion on an album. Two of the songs - "On Saturday Afternoons in 1963" and "After Hours" - were recorded live on December 22, 1978.

The album was released in the spring of 1979 to mostly favorable reviews propelled by the substantial jazz-pop hit single "Chuck E.'s in Love," based on a rumored[by whom?] romance of her friend Chuck E. Weiss. The single became a US #4 hit during the summer, while the album, which went on to become a million seller, hit US #3. Jones was supported by a memorable slot on Saturday Night Live in April 1979, where she performed "Chuck E.'s in Love" and "Coolsville." A second single, "Young Blood," cracked the US Top 40 in late 1979, when Jones went on an international tour. By June 1981, the album had sold over two million copies in the US alone.
Not all reviews were entirely favorable. Robert Christgau in particular only liked a few of the songs.[2]
The album cover contributed to the image of Jones as a stylish beret-wearing beatnik. Jones had said the inspiration of it was from a photo of her father (an aspiring musician and waiter) in a similar pose, lighting a cigarette while sitting on a beach towel at a Chicago beach along Lake Michigan, near where the family lived. Although Donna Summer had already been wearing berets and singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell wore one for the album cover of her 1976 album Hejira, it was Jones Parisian-boho jazz sensibility that finally popularized it, propelling as a mainstay of hipster chic and (perhaps unintentionally) branding her image in the process. Despite Jones' beautiful looks and street gamine wildness, she would recall that people seemed to only recognize her in public when she was wearing the beret. The album cover photography and design was by Norman Seeff.

To determine the clinical outcome of undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis (UIA) patients enrolled in 2 Canadian early arthritis cohorts and the prognostic value of patient history, physical exam, serology, and radiography for poor patient outcomes.
Data from patients (n=643) enrolled since Sept. 2003 were collected from the Toronto/Canadian Early Arthritis Cohorts (TEACH/CATCH). CATCH is a multi-centre observational prospective "real world" cohort of patients with early inflammatory arthritis (EIA). Inclusion criteria: age >16, symptom duration of 652 weeks of persistent synovitis, >=2 effused joints or 1 swollen MCP/PIP +>=1 of: + RF, + anti-CCP, AM stiffness >45 minutes, response to NSAIDs, or painful MTP squeeze test. UIA was defined as not meeting 1987 ACR classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or criteria for other rheumatological diagnoses. The proportion of patients developing a classifiable diagnosis over time (survival analysis) and hazard ratios (HR) for the prognostic value of baseline age, gender, smoking status, initial use of DMARDs, RF status, 2nd-5th MTP involvement (including erosions), in the progression of UIA to RA were calculated. The feet were evaluated in this study due to their under-representation in the current ACR criteria for RA diagnosis.
Baseline (BL) characteristics of UIA patients were: mean age 51±15 years, 75% female, median symptom duration 6.1 months, and mean DAS28 3.5±1.9. Of all the patients completing the study to 1 year (n=229), 23.1% were UIA at baseline (n=53). Of those who were UIA at baseline, 64.1% remained UIA at 12 months, while 35.8% developed RA. HRs are given in Table 1.
Predictors for progression of UIA to rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
|Hazard Ratio (to RA by ACR Criteria)
|Confidence Interval
|Age (>65)
|Female Gender
|2-5 MTP tenderness
|2-5 MTP swelling
|Foot erosions
Early presence of MTP tenderness and erosions predicted which patients will develop RA, not accounting for anti-CCP status. Smoking was not predictive. Further analyses on the role of anti-CCP are planned.

Nets devote more coverage to Wilson's outburst than to Obama's speech
Research ››› ››› MORGAN WEILAND
During their September 10 editions, the three evening network news programs cumulatively devoted more coverage to Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's September 9 joint address to Congress on health reform -- in which Wilson claimed President Obama lied when he said "our reform efforts" would not "insure illegal immigrants" -- than they allotted to the speech itself. Moreover, while ABC's Jake Tapper explicitly stated that "the president's reforms" would not "apply to illegal immigrants" and NBC's Kelly O'Donnell said that "the bill, as it's written now, is explicit saying that illegal immigrants will not get any health care benefits in reform," the CBS Evening News did not attempt to fact-check Wilson's interjection.
NBC, CBS provide more coverage of Wilson's outburst than the speech itself
NBC featured nearly twice as much coverage of Wilson as Obama. NBC's Nightly News provided 3 minutes and 2 seconds of coverage of Obama's September 9 joint address to Congress, compared to almost twice as much coverage -- 5 minutes and 47 seconds -- of Wilson's outburst during that address. CBS Evening News similarly provided more coverage of Wilson's remark than the President's speech: 3 minutes and 21 seconds for Wilson's outburst compared to 2 minutes and 50 seconds for the speech itself. By contrast, ABC's World News provided more than twice as much coverage of Obama's address than they gave to Wilson's remark. World News featured 5 minutes and 17 seconds on Obama's address compared to 2 minutes and 18 seconds on Wilson's comment.
Cumulatively, nets gave Wilson more coverage than Obama. Taken together, the three nightly news programs aired September 10 on NBC, CBS, and ABC provided more coverage of Wilson's outburst than Obama's address to Congress itself. Cumulatively, Obama's speech received 11 minutes and 9 seconds of coverage, while Wilson's remark commanded 11 minutes and 26 seconds of attention.
Despite reporting Wilson's outburst, CBS fails to fact-check it
CBS's Cordes: Wilson "stands by what he said, but regrets where he said it." In CBS Evening News' lead story about Wilson's outburst, which included several repetitions of his claim that Obama "lie[d]" about whether or not health reform would cover illegal immigrants, correspondent Nancy Cordes did not question whether or not Wilson's claim was accurate. Moreover, Cordes reported that Wilson "stands by what he said." And neither anchor Katie Couric nor other correspondents reporting about health care fact-checked Wilson's claim:
CORDES: The former military attorney stands by what he said, but regrets where he said it. Constituents in his conservative district agree.
UNIDENTIFIED CONSTITUENT: It's completely out of line.
CORDES: Mr. Obama accepted Wilson's apology. [CBS Evening News, 9/10/09, accessed from the Nexis database]
ABC's Tapper: "Would the president's reforms apply to illegal immigrants? The answer is no." On World News, Tapper offered the following fact-check of the issue:
TAPPER: The president tried to do a fact check of his own.
OBAMA: The reforms I am proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.
TAPPER: Would the president's reforms apply to illegal immigrants? The answer is no. House and Senate bills explicitly say any new government subsidies to purchase health insurance would only apply to legal citizens. But the issue is more complicated than that. When illegal immigrants go to emergency rooms, the charges are often paid for by emergency Medicaid, which at least one Democratic bill may expand. Though, today, the White House reiterated the president's point.
ROBERT GIBBS (White House press secretary): The legislation that the President will sign won't cover illegal immigrants. [ABC's World News, 9/10/09, accessed from the Nexis database]
O'Donnell: "[T]he bill, as it's written now, is explicit saying that illegal immigrants will not get any health care benefits in reform." On Nightly News, O'Donnell offered the following fact-check of "Wilson's complaint":
O'DONNELL: Wilson's complaint, however rude it was, reflects a view Republican leaders stood by today. While the president insists health care reform will not cover illegal immigrants, Republicans argue there is a loophole because the House bill fails to require proof of citizenship.
SEN. JON KYL (R-AZ): And so if there is no verification of eligibility required, it is quite likely--indeed, I would say probable--that a lot of people who are not eligible, including illegal immigrants, will be--will end up receiving the benefits of the legislation.
O'DONNELL: And, Brian, this is complicated because the bill, as it's written now, is explicit saying that illegal immigrants will not get any health care benefits in reform. But Republicans say they're concerned about cracks in the system, and examples of times when illegal immigrants have managed to get benefits like Medicaid. Now, this has caused such a fuss that, tonight, Senate Democrats concede there is confusion, and the last committee that's working on legislation says it will try to do more to be specific about requiring proof of citizenship. [NBC's Nightly News, 9/10/09, accessed from the Nexis database]
PolitiFact: "We rate Wilson's statement False." PolitiFact.com concluded that Wilson's accusation that Obama lied about health care reform applying to undocumented immigrants is "false" and stated that "it's worth pointing out that illegal immigrants participating in the exchange would be paying for their insurance like everyone else. That's similar to the current system."
But it's worth pointing out that illegal immigrants participating in the exchange would be paying for their insurance like everyone else. That's similar to the current system -- we're not aware of any particular restrictions that stop illegal immigrants from buying private insurance now. Under health care reform, illegal immigrants would be able to buy private insurance or the public option.
When we look at all of this evidence, it seems that health reform leaves in place the status quo on illegal immigration, and certainly does not provide any new benefits particularly for illegal immigrants. [PolitiFact, 9/09/09]
Media Matters for America reviewed digital video of the September 10 editions of NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, and ABC's World News with Charles Gibson.
Media Matters counted the minutes and seconds of programming devoted to Obama's joint address to Congress and, separately, to coverage of Wilson's remark. Programming about the president's address, or that referenced his speech, was counted as coverage of Obama's speech. Similarly, programming about Wilson's outburst was coded as such. The tease provided by the anchor at the top of the program was not counted.

Most breast cancer patients will have some type of surgery, whether it's a breast conservation therapy such as lumpectomy or the removal of the entire breast (mastectomy). The type of surgery you have depends on many factors, and our physicians will help you make the decision that's right for both your individual case and your personal preferences. All of our breast surgeons are leaders in the field of breast cancer care.
If your cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, our surgeons may perform a lumpectomy. During this procedure, the surgeon will remove the entire lump and some of the normal tissue (the margin) surrounding it, but will preserve the breast. Intraoperative touch prep cytology is used to check the margins during surgery. This can allow the surgeon to remove additional breast tissue if necessary to avoid the need for a reexcision to be performed.
Radiation therapy is given after the lumpectomy and is an essential part of this breast-conserving treatment. For most women with stage I or II breast cancer, the combination of lumpectomy and radiation treatment has proven to be as effective as modified radical mastectomy.
These procedures remove more breast tissue than a lumpectomy, and radiation therapy is also part of the treatment.
For patients who have had a prior lumpectomy and radiation and who develop a recurrence in the same breast, we offer wide resection with brachytherapy, which allows the patient a second chance for breast conservation. The standard of care for such patients has been a mastectomy, but this approach allows selected patients to have a second lumpectomy done with a type of radiation implant called brachytherapy.
For breast lumps that are benign (noncancerous), our surgeons can treat them using a procedure called Fibroadenoma Cryoablation. This procedure uses cold therapy to destroy the tissue, rather than the traditional surgical removal. The surgeon uses ultrasound to guide a small instrument into the breast, and the tip of this instrument will become extremely cold and freeze the benign lump. This outpatient treatment takes only about 30 minutes.
If a mastectomy is the best treatment choice for your case, there are several types of mastectomy procedures that our surgeons may perform. A total mastectomy, also called a simple mastectomy, removes the entire breast without the axillary lymph node dissection. A modified radical mastectomy removes the entire breast and most axillary lymph nodes, but the pectoralis (chest) muscle stays in place.
Our surgeons are also experts in skin-sparing mastectomies (SSM), during which the breast tissue is removed while all of the healthy skin is preserved. This allows the shape of the reconstructed breast to be preserved as normal with minimal visible scars. A nipple areola-sparing mastectomy is similar to a skin-sparing one, with the addition that the nipple areola complex is preserved.
Axillary Lymph Node Dissection and Sentinel Node Biopsy
Both lumpectomy and mastectomy procedures may be accompanied by either a sentinel node biopsy or a full axillary node dissection. Both of these procedures help physicians determine if the cancer has spread to the axillary (underarm) lymph nodes, which in turn helps them select which adjuvant therapy, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, is best for your case.
Our surgeons have extensive experience and expertise with sentinel lymph node biopsy, which is an important surgical advance. Rather than removing most underarm lymph nodes, as is done in the axillary lymph node dissection, surgeons inject a low-level radioactive tracer into the breast area around the tumor. The tracer leads surgeons to the sentinel node—the first lymph node to receive drainage from a cancer-containing area of the breast—which is then removed and tested to see if the cancer has spread to the lymph node system.
The advantage of this procedure is that surgeons only have to take out the most important node(s). This minimizes the risk of arm swelling and allows the pathologists to do a more complete evaluation to determine if the node(s) contain cancer. If the sentinal node doesn't contain any cancer cells, no further surgery is necessary. However, if the sentinel node does contain cancer, an axillary dissection may be recommended—either at the same time or several days later. Most patients will have their sentinel node biopsy performed at the time of lumpectomy or mastectomy. A newer technique allows this to be done without the need to make a separate axillary (armpit) incision.
Second Opinion of a Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Our breast cancer team has the expertise to provide the most accurate and immediate diagnosis and staging of breast disease, and many patients turn to us for second opinions of a breast cancer diagnosis or if they have an abnormal mammogram, sonogram (ultrasound), or MRI. While these breast imaging studies can be helpful in making an early diagnosis of significant breast disease, differences in techniques and interpretations can make final conclusions difficult. Our four dedicated breast radiologists are experts in making the most accurate diagnosis possible.

Arbor Day Celebration
|Saturday, April 20, 2013
|9:00 am - 2:00 pm
|OSU Wooster Campus
|More Info:
Arbor Day was founded in 1872 by J Sterling Morton in Nebraska City, Nebraska. By the 1920s, each state in the U.S. had passed public laws that stipulated a certain day for Arbor Day observance. The national holiday is celebrated every year on the last Friday in April; in Nebraska, it is a civic holiday.The customary observance is to plant a tree. On the first Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, an estimated one million trees were planted.
A celebration of the OSU Tree Campus Wooster designation is planned for the April 20 Wooster Arbor Day celebration. In true Tree Campus USA fashion, the event will connect our OSU Wooster campuses, OARDC, ATI, and Ohio State Extension, the local community of the City of Wooster, our partner institution the College of Wooster, and involve students, staff and faculty from OARDC, ATI, and OSU Extension. It will be a celebration on many levels, including the fact that Ohio State University will become one of only six universities to have two Tree Campus USA campuses.
The following agenda is planned:
Don't miss the world premiere of 'The Tale of Five Oaks' poem to the OSU Wooster Campus and comments from OSU/OARDC Secrest Arboretum Director Ken Cochran, OSU Chadwick Arboretum Director Mary Maloney, the City of Wooster, the College of Wooster, ATI students and OARDC PhD candidate Alejandro Chiriboga, regarding his inventory and ecological audit of the community forest of the City of Wooster. This is a wonderful convocation of the community spirit of why trees matter…and a great companion to the Arbor Day Celebration on the OSU Main Campus the following Friday, April 26.
"It is well that you should celebrate your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for within your lifetime the nation's need of trees will become serious. We of an older generation can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and because of that want you will reproach us, not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
All educational programs conducted by The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences are available to clientele on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, age, disability or Vietnam-era veteran status.

Oregon Dreamer: Frank Moore
Legendary fisherman of the North Umpqua
Tough as nails, gentle as a poet and determined as a badger, 90-year-old Frank Moore loves to fish. During World War II, he landed along with some 156,000 troops on the beaches of Normandy for the D-Day Allied invasion. Following the war, he returned to Oregon to his new wife Jeanne and his beloved North Umpqua River. Frank and Jeanne have spent the past 70 years living on or near the North Umpqua and have become an integral part of its heritage. Frank's lifetime accomplishments as a fly fisherman, conservationist and veteran have earned him many awards, including the prestigious Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor and a recent induction into the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame. He has guided and fished with many famous anglers, actors, members of congress and executives. He and Jeanne built and were the long time proprietors of the world-renowned Steamboat Inn located on the banks of their beloved river. Reflecting on his time on the North Umpqua, Moore says, "One of the things that this river does to people is it attracts them, it draws them, and stays in their heart. And what more can you say about a river?"

Southmoreland grad hopes Scottdale will OK fast-pitch softball at Loucks Park
Former resident and Southmoreland High School graduate Josh King is hoping he and Scottdale officials might be able to work together to bring some exposure to the borough through a fast-pitch softball league.
At a previous parks and recreation committee meeting, King presented his idea of using Loucks' field as part of a men's and women's fast-pitch softball league that he says would draw people from the Pittsburgh area into the small borough.
He hopes the matter will be discussed at the parks and recreation meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
If the idea is going to be implemented this year, borough officials have to make some decisions very soon, he said.
"Besides Erie, Scottdale is now one of the only towns in Pennsylvania to have men's fast-pitch softball," said the California University student and entrepreneur. "Last year, for the first time in years, players started coming from Pittsburgh and West Virginia to play in league games when we had no lights. Now that lights are in place, we expect our league to be stronger than ever."
In order for the league to succeed in Scottdale, King is hoping borough officials will approve use of the ball field in Loucks Park for the fast-pitch league he is associated with as well as look at changing the borough ordinance to allow signs to be placed on the outfield fence.
"We need the borough to allow local businesses, especially those businesses sponsoring the league, to advertise on the outfield fence," King said. "Since I have arranged for a local television station to cover the opening day games, we want our town looking good, and the rust on the fences looks bad on camera."
He added that a working scoreboard is necessary.
"We would cover the cost, and we would like to see if one of our sponsors would like to donate the money in exchange for advertising," King said.
Chairman Jim Pallygus had asked at the previous meeting if there was any possibility they might be able to renovate the concession stand at that park.
King said they would probably be able to do that and the borough or any local groups would be free to staff the concession stand during the games to bring in funds.
Borough Manager Angelo Pallone said they would need a lot more information before they could even begin to agree to something like this.
He added that there are currently three different leagues using the field, so he didn't know how the logistics of adding a fourth league would work.
One of the things that would make this league successful is teaming with local small bars who are looking for marketing help, King said.
If a league was formed, those who participated would be asked to put down a security deposit of maybe $50, which they would get back at the end of the season after going to one of the sponsoring bars and spending at least $10 sometime throughout the season, King said.
"Local businesses are excited and we expect for the first time that we have enough money to increase our teams in the league from five to 10 to 15 to 20-plus within four years," King said.
He added that he just wants to see Scottdale succeed and return to its former glory.

§ 35.37. Answers to orders to show cause.
A person upon whom an order to show cause has been served under § 35.14 (relating to orders to show cause) shall, if directed so to do, respond to the same by filing within the time specified in the order an answer in writing. The answer shall be drawn so as specifically to admit or deny the allegations or charges which may be made in the order, set forth the facts upon which respondent relies and state concisely the matters of law relied upon. Mere general denials of the allegations of an order to show cause which general denials are unsupported by specific facts upon which respondent relies, will not be considered as complying with this section and may be deemed a basis for entry of a final order without hearing, unless otherwise required by statute, on the ground that the response has raised no issues requiring a hearing or further proceedings. A respondent failing to file answer within the time allowed shall be deemed in default, and relevant facts stated in the order to show cause may be deemed admitted.
Notes of Decisions
Admission Based on Denial
A member of the Amish community was found guilty of practicing dentistry without a license based in part upon this regulation which as the State Board of Dentistry noted provides that a mere general denial is deemed an admission following the Amish gentlemans comment that he was willing to take [his] punishment for the sake of [his] people. Zook v. State Board of Dentistry, 683 A.2d 713 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996).
If an educator fails to timely respond to Notice of Charges, an educator is deemed to have defaulted under this regulation, and the Professional Standards and Practices Commission may deem admitted the relevant facts stated in the Notice of Charges and proceed to consideration of discipline based upon the admitted facts and exhibits to the Notice of Charges. Kinniry v. Professional Standards & Practices Commission, 678 A.2d 1230 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996).

"So, ladies leave ya mens at home…" Tim Foreman sings shyly, hinting that maybe these are the words to the song.
"Yeah! That's it," laughs Tom, "Destiny's Child — I like that song!"
From the "let's go nuts in our rented minivan" stereo, Tim's brother Jon (frontman of their band, Switchfoot, super platinum-selling pop/rock dudes), belts a chorus off their upcoming album, Nothing is Sound.
"When I look at the stars! When I look at the star-ah-arrs, I see someone else."
Entranced, we bob our heads to the song's flashy Scorps'-like riff as Jon's eyes blink his approval in the rearview mirror. The drummer, Chad Butler, plays back the beat, pounding on his knees.
"Yeah, yeah — wait, that's good!" Tom cranes his neck at the front speaker, and asks if anyone wants more of that weird fruit we bought on the side of the road.
"Man, look at this!" Jon points up at the massive olive-tan banyans tubing our jungle highway, "You just know this is gonna be a good trip."
He's right.
The whole thing's dialed. We've got acclaimed surf cats, Tom C. and Rob Machado, and we've got the band. The deal is to set 'em up in a plush, Mainland Mexican getaway and let 'em jam. Cut a few tracks, cut a few waves and have fun doing both. We wanna hear surf music again. For the band, who spend their year giggin' Tokyo to O-hi-o, the surf part is what they really came here for. As for the tunes, they're all packing: Tommy Gun with his Yamaha keyboard, XX.
So the pad is rad, but the heat is dizzying like a billy club smack to the head. Good thing the ocean's just a short walkway below. We throw our junk on the floor and rush to the water. The waves are grey under passing rain clouds, about gut-high and flabby. The band have ripped open a coffin of glossy-new Merricks, while Tom and Rob opt to swim — until Jon ups the ante with a splendid backside reverse. What?! Rob grabs a Boogie Board and is making serious distance; then Curren, on a twinny, starts connecting combos like a cat on fire.
The night falls down on us. In the dinner room the maids have set our feast of beans and rice and a big box of chocolates, which, of course, we devour first. Talk bounces about us of long, warm point waves. Stoner's Point is just up the road. Sherm's bro, Ron "The Sherpa", is with us, and he's got all the info. Everyone's bonding. Laughter's floating up into the ceiling fan, spinning around the room. A long march of red ants is moving through a crack in the palm-thatched roof, and, one by one, blasted by the fan, into the sky, each one lands only stronger, continuing on for our plates. Their bodies are fierce, their minds set. What would happen if suddenly they grew big as us? If they inflated like balloons so that we could see their ghastly red fangs, their starving, robotic black eyes? I'm kinda trippin' on the thought, till I look up and notice everyone else is gone.
"There's a red house over yonder," I hear someone singing from the jam room. "It's where my baby stays." I walk in and Tommy's got the harmonica out and while Sherm's banging away on a good-sized cowbell. It's gonna be a long night.
Secret Beach
Oh my God, the sea-sand bottom shimmers in waves of far-traveled light. We are here! The smiling senoritas cook our beans, rice, huevos; squeeze the oranges at sunrise, brew the blackened mud caf, set the warm ceramic eating plates — Petra and the younger one, Piha, with her shiny silver-capped front teeth — we are extravagantly-treated happy guys.
Tommy isn't joking — he's got the cowbell out, the tambourines — there's a big need for MORE cowbell! Pretty soon the whole thing's a straight Latin jam — Tom, Chad and Sherm (mondo-bongo-man). Soon the surf sesh below at the sand wedge cove is in ecstasy, literally dancing on waves. Hooting. Screaming. "Owwuu!" to righteous funk.
Take time to make friends
Tim Foreman's the nicest guy, looks you right in the eye, listens like a hawk, then listens some more. He says some good things, too. He and Jon and Chad — they're good people.
"Happy is a yuppie word," Jon sings. "I want more than dirty cash can buy."
Jon and the boys are trying a new one on us. They are happy, but intense, caring about lasting stuff: social justice, helping the poor and sick of the world. They've started a website, lowercasepeople.com, for their likeminded fellows.They finish, as the last strum resonates, and afternoon rays cross their "so, whatd'ya think?" faces, making them look a little older than before. They're contentedly aware of nature's decay, even while racing up the charts — their last disk, The Beautiful Letdown, sold 2.5 million. The next one expects more.
"That's why my main goal with music is for it to benefit someone else," says Tim.
No complain
The surf is flat, but the boys don't complain. We've discovered the art of kayak surfing. The day is calm. The estuary is flowing out; a mini sand point is hooking its south edge. Many pelicans have descended upon the zone, feasting, stuffing big bills with fish. The whole vibe here is cool, unless you're a fish.
Tommy's a ball of energy, curious, mixing around with mics, drums, guitars, keys, foot pedals. Rob, on the other hand, is mellow as they come. But he works. At a little left point, knee-high, subtle interaction to each piece of lip crumble or fold, eyes precise — he is music.
"See, he's interpreting it, same as musicians do one another," says Tim, us watching from behind the wave, and he with a hot, Chappy Jennings-type style himself. Later, over heaping bowls of lentils, we talk about sound frequencies, about "white noise", the snow on your TV.
"Space Junk. It's soothing. It'll put a baby to sleep," says Jon.
"Um-hmm. Next time ya hear some on the radio, just tune in and groove to it," adds Tom.
For the rest of the "Switchfoot In Mex" story, pick up the December 2005 issue of SURFING Magazine, on sale October 25th.

Clip: Hoekstra on Last of the Breed tour

Real Country Near 66
4:30 p.m. (local) March 10
SCOTTSDALE, AZ.---The "Last of the Breed" concert tour kicked off
Friday night in Prescott Valley, which is scattered like buried
treasure south of Route 66 near Flagstaff, Az. In order to find this
town, you have to drive by a shotgun cantina called Billy Jack's, a
neon roadhouse named Left-ts and down an old stagecoach trail called
the Reata Pass.
It was worth it. "Last of the Breed" could be the Rat Pack of country
music: Ray Price assumes the sophisticated role of Sinatra, Merle
Haggard is the playful conscience who takes a lot of pride in who he
is and Willie Nelson is everyman's best buddy who knows everybody
loves somebody sometime.
All three men stand tall in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The trio is backed by the Western Swing band Asleep at the Wheel. I
wanted to catch "Last of the Breed" in the event it ended abruptly, as
in the case of the 1988 Rat Pack reunion tour which only made it to
Minneapolis and Chicago before Dean Martin went home.
The first time the "Last of the Breed' felt unique wasn't until down
the home stretch when Haggard sang "Okie From Muskogee" and got to the
line about "the long haired hippies out in San Franciso," Nelson
sauntered on stage with red bandana and his braids nearly to his
beltline. The crowd of cowboys, bikers, old hippies, outlaws and rodeo
riders roared with approval at a joint called Tim's Toyota Center. The
5,300-seat venue opened in October and this was the first sell out in
its history.
The Last of the Breed will appear March 25 at the Rosemont Theatre
outside of Chicago,
The crowd will be different............
And there wasn't much different about the "Last of the Breed" show at
the outset.
Price opened up with his own 35 minute set with his own band of
Cherokee Cowboys. He set the bar for vocal performance. At 81 years
old Price's smooth pipes are in amazing shape, especially on ballads
like "For The Good Times," "Make The World Go Away" and "Release Me."
He hit his notes with clarity and integrity. Price deployed a
three-piece fiddle section to set a Western Swing motif, in fact they
delivered "Crazy Arms" and "Heartaches By The Number" in the same
dance hall tempo.
Dressed in blue jeans, a crisp white shirt and black blazer, Price
offered the evening's mission statement: "This is the music they've
been trying to kill," he told the crowd that included a six-month old
with a red bananda (I'm not kidding). "And they're not going to get it
After Price's performance, there was a 15 minute intermission to reset
the stage for "Last of the Breed." Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel
opened up part two with their own set that consisted of "(Get Your
Kicks on) Route 66"--with a shout out to Flagstaff---and "Miles of
Miles of Texas."
But still no "Last of the Breed."
Finally, Haggard strolled on stage like the eternal hipster saint. He
hoisted his fiddle and took authentic delight in interacting with the
twin fiddles, consisting of his own fiddle player and Jason Roberts of
Asleep at the Wheel. Haggard twirled his foot and shook his ass before
slicing into Bob Wills' "Take Me Back to Tulsa" and hitting the
classic two-beat on "I Wonder If You Feel The Way I Do." Haggard
covered the latter track on the Wheel's excellent 1993 tribute to Bob
Wills and the Texas Playboys.
Haggard followed with several of his greatest hits: "Silver Wings,"
"Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink" (big crowd pleaser with this
crowd), and "I Take a Lot of Pride In What I Am," a '45 that used to
have regular rotation in my old loft jukebox. Dean Martin also covered
"Pride." When Haggard sings about things he learned in a hobo jungle,
it is clear these guys are the last of a breed. Who sings about hobo
jungles today?
I heard Brad Paisley's "Celebrity" while trying to find a decent
country radio station on the midnight drive down I-17 back to
Scottsdale. As much as that pop song panders it fails to connect with
any real country music fan.
Haggard covered "BIg River" with more intensity than usual (due to the
fiddles) and offered some succulent electric guitar jazz runs on
"Misery and Gin," a song he doesn't often perform. I should know. I've
seen Haggard about 50 times. He is America's voice.
When he got to "Muskogee" the event finally began to take shape.
Price could be seen smiling in the wings as Willie and Merle traded
verses on "Muskogee," with Benson dropping in on the last verse.
Willie and Merle reprised Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho & Lefty" from
their 1983 duet album of the same name (and a song Merle and Dylan
should have done on last year's tour) and they dealt a convincing
version of Willie's "Reasons to Quit," ("...reasons to quit below it
always lower than the high..") from "Pancho and Lefty.".
Towards the end of his duet section with Merle, Willie invited
singer-songwriter Freddy Powers on stage to cover Fats Waller's "I'm
Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." Powers, who wrote the
Haggard hits :"Let's Chase Each Other Around the Room Tonight," and "A
Bar in Bakersfield" and co-produced Nelson"s "Somewhere Over the
Rainbow" LP, is suffering from Parkinson's disease. Powers sang in
charging Western Swing tones despite keeping his trembling left hand
in his coat pocket.
Nelson took more edgy Spanish-influenced guitar solos than I have seen
in recent years. He seemed amped up to be reunited with his old
running buddies. Nelson has been down this 'country supergroup' road
before with the Highwaymen and now two of them are gone (Cash and
Arizona's own Waylon Jennings). Nelson will make these moments count.
After Powers cameo, Price returned to the stage and said, "Willie,
here we go,,,,,"
The trio then played songs from the "Last of the Breed" two-disc,
22-song CD that is out March 20 on Lost Highway. The three giants
climbed new heights on Harlan Howard's 1958 honky-tonker "Pick Me Up
On Your Way Down," wiith Haggard mimicking Bob Wills yelps and "I Love
You So Much It Hurts" (both on the CD, produced by the empathetic Fred
Foster). They followed the downbeat on the underchampioned Floyd
Tillman material from the new record, most notably "I've Gotta Have My
Baby Back."
Willie brought back the Bob Wills number "Still Water Runs The
Deepest" from the '93 Asleep at the Wheel tribute album, whiile Merle
chipped in with fluid vocals. Friday's ringer that is not on the "Last
of the Breed" record was Price and Nelson's searing verison of
Willie's "Nightlife." During Price's vocals, Nelson played deep blues
lines while Haggard messed around with the fiddle section.
Deep within his heart there lies a melody.
The Last of the Breed gave a no-nonsense performance on the CD's
leadoff track "My Life's Been a Pleasure," a chestnut written by Jesse
Ashlock, who was a Wills vocalist-fiddle player. Willie and Merle
first tackled the tune on "Pancho and Lefty," but the Breed's updated
version is less maudlin. However, after "My Life's Been a Pleasure,"
Nelson sang "Crazy."
Haggard picked up his white cowboy hat and walked off stage, exit right.
He was never seen again at Tim's Toyota Center.
Price remained but did not sing along on "Crazy" or "Always On My
Mind." He coughed a lot. With Nelson's long time harmonica player
Mickey Raphael on board, a Willie concert broke out. Nelson sang "On
The Road Again," and Price did add vocals to Kris Kristofferson's "Why
Me Lord" which appears on "Last of the Breed." Benson took Haggard's
parts. The show ended with Nelson's "Whiskey River." just like any
other Willie Nelson concert. The concert clocked in at two-and-a-half
hours, including the short break after Price's set.
The Last of the Breed wasn't like the Who or the Rolling Stones where
the stars conclude the evening by embracing arm around arm at the
front of stage. Willie said so long and the entourage was off to the
Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas where they were scheduled to appear on
So this is my longest blog ever.
I won't even get into how I watched the Cubs blow a 5-0 lead to Sammy
Sosa and the Texas Rangers a few hours before the concert. (But don't
forget this future Cub star: TYLER COLVIN, a smooth left handed swing
like John Olerud but with more pop). As a liefelong Cubs fan, I'm used
to all things last.
But tonight the "Last of the Breed" is first in my heart.

It was hardly Milo & Kate. When Peter Molyneux trotted out onto the stage at Microsoft's E3 press conference two weeks ago, it was to slap a 26th October release date on Fable III, introduce a new trailer - and then get out of the way of the bullet train of ultra-marketable Kinect software steaming onto the stage, sharpish.
Molyneux's blue-sky thinking is a great asset to Lionhead and Microsoft Game Studios, and he can still generate excitement and debate like few other game designers. But he's learned the hard way about over-promising, that sometimes it's best to shut up and let the games do the talking. So it was at E3 2010, not just at the conference, but with Fable III itself.
Lionhead felt it had something else to prove this time - that its game was real, full of the stuff that it had been talking about, and you could play it. To that end, it landed what must have been one the largest and most comprehensive playable demos of the year on the E3 show floor.
The demo comes in two parts, one doing the ramshackle rustic comedy thing with a bit of freeform questing, trading and conversation dotted around the village of Brightwall. The second showcases combat, storytelling and a more serious and epic mood in Shadelight Dungeon. I get to sit down and explore them both at relative leisure, in the company of a couple of Lionhead guides, away from the hubbub of E3 itself.
"It's all there. This is a bit of a different Lionhead, really," scripter Ted Timmins tells me. "There's no broken promises this time around... In the past it was all talk and no show. What we've come to E3 with is a message that everything we talk about, we can show you in some form on the screen."

Well, not quite everything. We still didn't get to see anything of Fable III's Big Idea, which will see your character become the ruler of Albion halfway through the game's story, and have to manage the expectations of the supporters you've gathered en route, while making decisions about the future of your kingdom even as you continue your quest.
It's a fascinating prospect, of course, but one with a huge and potentially unwieldy scope that could be hard to reconcile with the streamlined accessibility Molyneux was so keen to highlight when we saw the game earlier in the year.
To be fair, Lionhead is hardly saying more about kingship than the nothing it's showing. But Timmins - who along with senior artist Jon Eckersley is overflowing with pride and enthusiasm for the game, even after a long day of demoing it on the show floor - isn't above teasing us a bit.
"What's great about [the ruling stuff] is the game doesn't actually end when you think it should. It carries on for double the amount of time. We feel we've crafted a longer experience, almost two games in one, a game that changes so much halfway that it feels like the second half is a completely new experience," he says.
"When you're King, some of the decisions you make will change a level from what you've seen it to be to being something completely new and different."
Enticing stuff, but in the spirit of the new Lionhead, let's get down to what's in front of us. The cheerful, pastoral, sunny town of Brightwall shows no signs of the creeping onset of industrial revolution, so evident in the smoky metropolis we saw back in February. Clothing fashions have moved on, but otherwise this is the Albion you remember: equal parts Tolkien, Jane Austen, Monty Python and Disney's Camelot; saucy, scenic and stereotypically English.

Name of Session:
Session B 1
Perfluorochemicals—Environmental Fate, Toxicity and Human Exposure
Description of Session:
Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are non-reactive and resistant to degradation. PFCs have been used in manufacturing non-stick surfaces for cookware, stain repellents, grease-resistant paper coatings, and fire-fighting foams. Many of these chemicals, including the 8-carbon octanoic acid (PFOA) and octane sulfonate (PFOS), are mobile and long-lasting in the environment. They have long half-lives in humans and animals, and PFOS has been detected in various animals throughout the world. Elevated levels of PFOA have been seen in blood of residents near a chemical manufacturing facility. This session will describe: 1) toxic effects and development of health-based criteria for human exposures to PFOA and PFOS; 2) migration of PFCs into groundwater, surface water and sediments and contamination of drinking water with PFOA, PFOS and shorter length PFCs; 3) accumulation of PFOS in fish and fish consumption advice; 4) regulation; 5) strategies for removal of PFCs from drinking water; and 6) human health data collected from people exposed to PFOA in drinking water in Ohio and West Virginia.

Last August I discovered a little cancer in my eye, ocular melanoma. For a week or so I was scanned and tested and faced the possibility of my imminent demise. Dramatic. Then I had my left eye removed, which rid me of the cancer but the wound did not heal. Months and followup surgeries later, my eye looks to be healing properly and I am cancer free.Lucky as I am, these months have given me plenty of time to ponder, to experience the shocking goodness and generosity of friends and strangers, … [Read more...]

Appeal for a Shorter Work Week
Capitalism has much to recommend it. In a fallen world where every system is deeply flawed, capitalism has given us Google, penicillin, and time-delay features for our washing machines. But it exacts a high price—security and time.In 1930, John Maynard Keynes' predicted that within a hundred years, per capita income would rise sufficiently to meet people's basic needs, and no one would need to work more than fifteen hours a week. In light of our failure to realize Keynes's vision, Robert and … [Read more...]
Serving Community Members
To my mind, a particularly beautiful aspect of religious community is the support it can provide when a member is in crisis. I think of Amish communal barn raisings as a consummate example. A Catholic Folklorist friend of mine often reminds me to be grateful for the richness of community I have enjoyed in my own ward. I attribute much of that vibrancy to the fact that I see these people every week; we take each other meals and share tips; we work side by side to produce funerals or ward dinners. … [Read more...]

I know you've mentioned before certain things that Web sites can see when we're online, but they were always mixed in with other information. Can you give us a basic list of them instead?
I sure can! It's very important to know what Web sites can see when you're visiting them, so I'm not going to waste any more time. Let's get right into it!
If you use your computer everyday (which I'm guessing you do if you're reading this newsletter), you probably visit several Web sites each time you get online, right? I know I do. I'm constantly going from site to site, just checking different things out, reading articles, etc. Now, when you're on those Web sites, have you ever wondered what kind of information you're revealing to them? If that question has you intrigued, keep reading!
I know we here at WorldStart have mentioned certain things to you before about this topic, but I thought it would be nice to give you a basic rundown of what all Web sites can obtain about you when you're logged in. To begin with, they can see your IP address (220.127.116.11, for example), which is what allows computers to connect with each other on the Internet. A Web site cannot see your identity through the IP address, but it can verify your ISP and the region or city you live in. Kinda creepy, huh?! Now, there are programs you can use to keep your IP information private. They do not make you completely anonymous, but they help. A couple you may want to check into are Ghostsurf and Privoxy.
Another thing Web sites can pick up on is your cookies. Cookies are files that help sites save certain information in between your visits. For example, if you have a username and password for a certain site, the cookies remember that information for you so you don't always have to log back in. They help make things faster, but they can be a little risky too. They basically allow a Web site to see the path you follow while you're logged in. You are able to see your cookies though and even delete them if you want to. To do so in Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options and click on the Settings button. From there, click the View Files button and you'll be able to see the cookies. If you want to delete them, just click the Delete Cookies button in the first window. In Firefox, go to Tools, Options and select the Privacy icon. Click the Show Cookies button. If you want to delete them, hit the Remove Cookies button and you'll be all set.
Continuing on, Web sites are also able to see your network ports. These ports are basically paths of communication for your computer and they're all numbered. For example, Web sites usually use port number 80. These ports can help Web sites to obtain what programs you're using while on the Internet. While that doesn't seem so bad, they do tend to create some security holes in the actual program. To keep this from happening, make sure you have a good firewall on your computer. A firewall is able to close down any of the ports you don't need.
There's one more! Web sites are able to determine which Web browser and what version of Windows you're using. That information helps Web site owners update and improve their pages, but on the other hand, malicious sites can use that same information to attack you. To avoid any problems like that, make sure your computer is always updated and be sure to run your antivirus, spyware, etc. scans regularly.
Now, I know this information probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but once you know what's going on each time you visit a Web site, you can help yourself to stay safe. I'm definitely not telling you to stop surfing the Web. It's too much fun to do that! But I am telling you all this so you can work to keep yourself and your computer as safe as possible. Yes, the Internet can be a dangerous place, but if you do the right things to combat all the problems, you'll be good to go!

Mechanics and Construction > Mechanics and Construction
Modifying Servos for $50 Robot
I have just begun to modify the servos in the $50 Robot tutorial. I see the mechanical stop that must be modified. I don't see the pot. I am using the HS-311 from the parts list. The pictures don't look the same as my servos. Is it possible that this servo pot does not have to be modified?
When you take off the main gear, the one right under the horn, you should see a rectangular prism thing that seems to go all the way down into the servo.
If you have any problems ask, maybe the servo is defective but it's highly unlikely.
So the "rectangular prism thing" is what is to be superglued to prevent its movement? (I see the rect. prism thing.)
I figured out what needs to be done. I reread the tutorial and determined the that the slotted gear that interfaces with the pot on my servos does not have a removeable slot. I plan to carefully drill it out as I want to keep the pot out of the way, inside the servo case. I will super glue the potentiometer shaft in the 0 degrees position. Thanks for your assist garriwilson!
Stay tuned, I'm sure I will have more questions.
you're welcome :P

Automation has been always the best friend of good System Administrators. Automating repetitive tasks is a key enabler in most IT environments. However, VMware View has some known limitations when talking about automation and remote management.
Besides the Graphical User Interface, local PowerCLI is the only supported management methodology. I say local PowerCLI because none of the VMware View PowerCLI cmdlets allow remote management today. I have previously demonstrated how to use VMware.View.Broker PSSnap-In to configure WinRM sessions and execute remote View PowerCLI (here). It is possible to remotely execute PowerCLI cmdlets using New-PSSession as I demonstrated in my previous post and in the example below.
The PowerShell function below will change the state of a View desktop via ADAM/LDAP database. If pae-VmState is set to READY the VM is accessible, if set to ERROR the VM is not accessible, if set to MAINTENANCE the VM goes into maintenance mode, and if set to DELETING the VM will be deleted.
pae-VmState = "READY"
pae-VmState = "ERROR"
pae-VmState = "MAINTENANCE"
pae-VmState = "DELETING"
The function uses the ADSI adapter to receive an object representation of an Active Directory object and set the new VM state in the ADAM database. This method does not require Remote PowerShell. However to update the ADAM object you will need to find the $_.machine_id via Get-DesktopVM, and this cmdlet will require the remote PowerShell session.
Function ViewVM-SetState { [cmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$vm, #VM name [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateSet("MAINTENANCE","READY","DELETING","ERROR")] [string]$state, #State to set the VM to [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$ViewIPAddress, #Connection Server IP Address $credential #Connection Server Credential ) $ldapBaseURL = 'LDAP://'+$ViewIPAddress + ':389/' $script = [scriptblock]::Create("(Get-DesktopVM -Name $vm).machine_id") $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $ViewIPAddress -Credential $credential $Machine_Id = Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock $script $objMachine_Id = [ADSI]($ldapBaseURL + "cn=" + $Machine_Id + ",ou=Servers,dc=vdi,dc=vmware,dc=int") $objMachine_Id.PSBase.UserName = "administrator" $objMachine_Id.PSBase.Password = "password" switch ($state) { "MAINTENANCE" { $objMachine_Id.put("pae-vmstate", "MAINTENANCE") } "READY" { $objMachine_Id.put("pae-vmstate", "READY") } "DELETING" { $objMachine_Id.put("pae-vmstate", "DELETING") } "ERROR" { $objMachine_Id.put("pae-vmstate", "ERROR") } default { break } } $objMachine_Id.setinfo() Return "" }

question about eating pre and post workout
How long should I wait to eat after working out? Also how long should I wait to workout after eating?
i know the health nuts will be chiming in on this one but i usually have a protein bar or something to help replenish the proteins after a workout.
right after? Those protein bars pack a lot of calories, is it ok to eat if you are trying to lose weight?
you should eat then wait about an hour before you workout. if you take a preWO supp. you should take it on an empty stomach about 30-45 min. before.
for after, you should IMMEDIATELY (like within 5 minutes) consume at least 40 g of protein coupled with about 80 g of fast acting carbs.
Sure, it's what you eat that is very important if you want to lose weight (ie eliminating foods with high fat content). combining it with cardio workouts or high intensity interval training (HIIT) has really worked for me.
Also is this regardless of whether or not you do a cardio or weight training workou?
do it regardless.
and read this regardless........
the rationale...
more about dex and malto...
basically, you need high GI starchy carbs that spike blood sugar levels after you workout to restore glycogen levels. you can only do this PWO with these carbs, otherwise eat low GI (oats) carbs throughout the rest of the day. also because it absorbs so fast, it helps absorb all of the protein you need PWO.
also, it "translates the body's hormonal state from catabolic to anabolic (Muscle protein synthesis, cortisol suppression, shuttling of nutrients into the muscles"
