About Adams County, Colorado
Adams County, the fifth most populous county in the state of Colorado, is named after Alva Adams, one of the former governors of the state. Adams County is a great place to live and work, with many fantastic parks and golf courses, as well as great employment opportunities.
In the News: A group of Adams County residents recently filed a lawsuit to stop the construction of a proposed landfill near the Denver International Airport. The lawsuit claimed that developers did not considered all of the potential negative impacts the landfill would create in the area. The Adams County residents' primary allegation was that the landfill would attract more birds to the area, which could result in more air strikes with airplanes taking off and landing at the airport. This problem gained notable attention in early 2009 when a plane taking off from New York struck a bird three minutes after take off and had to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River. The Adams County residents pointed to this incident in attempting to block construction.

2013 Mid-Ohio: Ganassi IndyCar Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Aug 01, 2013 - 06:21 PM
2013 Mid-Ohio: Ganassi IndyCar Race Preview
BET YOU DIDNâT KNOW THAT
Big Weekend in Toronto: With Dixonâs sweep of the Honda Indy Toronto doubleheader, he earned a $100,000 bonus for winning both races on the weekend. The first doubleheader in Detroit earlier this year did not produce a repeat winner, so the $50,000 prize rolled over for Toronto. Dixon also moved up from fourth to second in the IZOD IndyCar Series Championship standings with the back-to-back race wins. Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Dixon and Franchitti also won both pole positions in Toronto (Franchitti â Race 1 and Dixon â Race 2), with Dixon taking sole possession of seventh on the all-time Indy car wins list with 32 victories after Race 2.
Dixon Finds His Groove: Dixonâs doubleheader win in Toronto made it three consecutive this season going into Round 14 at Mid-Ohio, where he has won four of the last six races dating back to 2007. If Dixon wins Mid-Ohio it would mark four-consecutive wins this season and he could become the first driver to win four-straight races since Sebastien Bourdais won the first four Champ Car races in 2006. In addition, Dixonâs win at Mid-Ohio would be his third consecutive win at the track.
Eight Days: Dixonâs three consecutive wins at Pocono and Torontoâs doubleheader tied Mario Andrettiâs streak of three race wins in eight days (July 30 to Aug 6, 1968, which included Langhorne, Pa., and a double header at St. Jovite, Quebec). Al Unser won four consecutive races in eight days in July 1969 (a doubleheader at Indianapolis Raceway Park and a doubleheader at Langhorne), and stretched his total to five in a row with a win later that month 13 at Nazareth, Pa.
New Winningest Active Driver: After Dixonâs doubleheader wins in Toronto, he moved to sole possession of seventh on the all-time wins list with 32 passing Paul Tracy, Sebastien Bourdais and teammate Franchitti, who each have 31. In doing so, he also became the top active driver on the all-time wins list.
TCGR Tidbits: In Toronto, Dixon had an average running position of 2.059 during the 180 laps of racing, and in the last three races he gained 63 points - now only -29 behind leader Helio Castroneves in the IZOD IndyCar Series standings. Dixon has 151 consecutive Indy car starts dating to the 2004 race in Michigan ranking seventh on the all-time list. Franchitti has two consecutive front-row starts going into Mid-Ohioâs race. Team Owner Chip Ganassi has 92 wins and ranks third all-time among Indy car team owners.
Power of Two Results: Dixon won the Power of Two charity competition and raised $7,036 for two groups that focus on cancer-stricken youth (CanTeen and Teens Living with Cancer). His rival Alex Tagliani raised almost $6,000 for Anaphyaxis Canada, an organization that helps individuals with life-threatening allergies. On Monday following the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, Tagliani will wear a beaver costume, representative of his native Canada, while stopping along the way to have some Indiana State Fair fun. He will begin his journey at 11 a.m. on Main Street and proceed around the fairgrounds to perform some media stunts. Once he successfully completes the circuit, Tagliani and Dixon will duel in go-karts at the Mini-Indy Speedway, a quarter-mile banked oval track in the fairgroundsâ northeast corner.
TCGR at Mid-Ohio: TCGR drivers have made 35 starts at Mid-Ohio in 19 races, accumulating eight wins (1996: Alex Zanardi; 1997: Zanardi; 1999: Juan Montoya; 2007: Dixon; 2009: Dixon; 2010: Franchitti; 2011: Dixon; 2012: Dixon), two pole wins (1996: Zanardi; 2011: Dixon), 12 podiums, 21 top-five and 25 top-10 finishes.
Taking to the Road: Since 1990, TCGR has made 155 starts on road courses, earning 21 wins, 12 poles, 49 podiums, 69 top-five and 100 top-10 finishes.

Scott Dixon and No. 9 Target Team
Toronto Race 1 Rewind: Dixon started Race 1 on the inside of the third row after qualifying the No. 9 Target Honda fifth on the 1.75-mile street circuit. In the first standing start attempt since 2008, INDYCAR officials aborted the start for a car stalled on the grid. A rolling start took place shortly after, and by lap 5 of 85 Dixon fell back to sixth. The No. 9 car fought to get back to fifth on lap 7 and four laps later was able to pass another car for fourth. The No. 9 car held its ground through a full course caution and restart, taking 0.5-seconds out of the leaderâs 1.0-second gap. Dixon moved up to second with 27 laps to go and stayed out a lap longer than the lap leader to make up the gap for the lead. The strategy paid off and on lap 63 the No. 9 car beat the leader out of the pits and held off a challenge for the lead. With 16 laps to go on a restart Dixon then dropped to third, but made up ground to second in just four laps. With nine laps to go Dixon was side by side with the leader and attempted to pass, but could not get around. One lap later Dixon was able to pass for the lead. The No. 9 car held the lead and with four laps to go a caution was called. On the final lap restart Dixon gapped the field and led all the way to the checkered flag.
Toronto Race 2 Rewind: Dixon started the race on the inside of the front row after qualifying the No. 9 Target Honda on pole position. The second standing start of the weekend was a success, and Dixon held his position and built a 1.49-second gap from the start. The No. 9 car had increased its lead to more than four seconds by lap 15 and had led every lap. Dixon then pit from the lead and had a quick stop to rejoin the race in the lead. The No. 9 car built an 8.1-second lead 31 laps into the race and clinched the two bonus points for leading the most laps in the race on lap 47. Dixon then improved to a 13-second gap over second place. Under a full course caution with 13 laps to go, the No. 9 car fought to keep its lead on the restart. With two laps to go another full course caution was displayed and Dixon drove to the checkered flag after leading 81 of 85 laps.
Last Time in Mid-Ohio: Dixon qualified fourth and ran the opening stint of the 85-lap race in that position until making his first green-flag pit stop of the day on lap 27. After pit stops cycled through, Dixon found himself in second, where he continued to tick off laps as fast as the leader. On lap 57, the No. 9 Target Honda made its final scheduled pit stop of the day. A quick stop propelled Dixon past leader Will Power. Dixon took the lead upon the completion of green flag stops on lap 59 and didnât look back. He led the rest of the race en route to his second victory of the season and 29th overall, tying him for 10th on the all-time wins list with Rick Mears.
Career at Mid-Ohio: In seven starts at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Dixon has earned four wins (2007, 2009, 2011, 2012), one pole win (2011) and five podiums. The driver of the No. 9 car has led in four out of his seven starts (for 156 laps) and completed every lap at Mid-Ohio in his career.
In the Points: Following Torontoâs doubleheader, Dixon moved up two spots to second in the IZOD IndyCar Series point standings with 396 markers, -29 points behind leader Helio Castroneves.
The Ice Man Returns: The two-time IZOD IndyCar Series Champion (2003, 2008) and 2008 Indianapolis 500 Winner returns in 2013 for his fifth season alongside four-time Champion (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011) and three-time Indianapolis 500 Winner (2007, 2010, 2012) Franchitti. Dixon is in sole possession of seventh place on the all-time Indy car wins list (1909-Present) with 32 victories and is tied with Danny Sullivan for 15th on the all-time poles list with 19.
Go with What you Know: 2013 marks Dixonâs 12th year with Team Target â the longest tenure for any driver in team history (1990-Present).
Dario Franchitti and No. 10 GE Team
Toronto Race 1 Rewind: Franchitti started the race on the inside of the front row after qualifying the No. 10 Target Honda on pole position. When the race went green Franchitti held the lead for the first 20 laps. On lap 20 the No. 10 car reported the tires were falling off and fell back to fourth. Franchitti pit from fourth to change tires and returned to the circuit in the same position. The No. 10 car held on to fourth, but on lap 63 dropped back to fifth. Franchitti made his way back to fourth and in the final stages had more push to pass left than any other driver in the top-10 (6). With 12 laps to go, the No. 10 car jumped up to third on a restart, and finished there for a Target double-podium result.
Toronto Race 2 Rewind: Franchitti started the race on the outside of the front row after qualifying the No. 10 Target Honda second. On the standing start, Franchitti fell back to sixth after making slight contact with the rear of the No. 3 car. The No. 10 car had to pit for a new front wing and changed from red tires to black tires. Franchitti returned to the circuit and tried to make up ground for the early pit on lap 5 of 85. On lap 41 Franchitti was in 12th and trying to get back to the top-10. The No. 10 car was able to move up three positions to ninth by lap 57. Franchitti then made it in and out of pit lane just in time as a full course caution was called, and was up to sixth by lap 72. Under the last caution of the race with two laps to go, Franchitti made his way to fourth, where he would ultimately finish.
Last Time in Mid-Ohio: For the sixth consecutive race, Franchitti started on the front row, qualifying second. The No. 10 Honda got off to a good start, running the opening laps of the race in second. After making his first pit stop of the day on lap 29, Franchitti returned to the 2.258-mile course in fourth. Running on a two-stop fuel strategy, Franchitti made his second pit stop on lap 57 and again rejoined the field in fourth. On lap 59, the No. 10 Honda made contact with another car and was forced to pit road for an unscheduled pit stop to replace the front wing. Franchitti exited the pits for the final time in 18th and eventually finished the day in 17th.
Career at Mid-Ohio: In 11 starts at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Franchitti has one win (2010), two pole wins (1998, 1999) and five podiums. The driver of the No. 10 car has also led 93 laps at Mid-Ohio.
In the Points: With the results in Toronto, Franchitti moved four spots to seventh in the IZOD IndyCar Series point standings with 307 markers, -118 points behind leader Helio Castroneves.
Rarified Air: Dario is one of only five drivers to win the Indianapolis 500 and the series title in the same season more than once. By winning the 2012 Indianapolis 500, he became just the 10th driver in history to win the race three times.

'Tis the season #3: Button garland tutorial
'Tis the season #2: Chocolate biscuit gateau
'Tis the season #1: Granny in a Flap Hat tutorial
First up, do you remember this hat?
I've been meaning to write up the pattern for it since, um, last April. I was noting down the pattern as I was teaching a friend how to crochet it. We worked on it while we were at the park with our kids each week. Then her lad inconsiderately knocked his head badly and was barred from the park for a couple of months. He's fine, but my pattern writing ground to a halt.
With winter rapidly approaching, I thought that it might be time to finish it. So I made another hat. Meanwhile the temperature soared to 100 degrees. In November. Can it really be a coincidence that every time I make this hat we have a heat wave?Sunglasses indoors = cover for the awful dark circles under my eyes. These hats do look less daft when worn with winter clothes...I am a slow crocheter and I can make one of these in an evening, so they are quick work.
To make a child size hat, use smaller hooks as follows: I instead of J, J instead of K, K instead of L). Ravelry link here.
scraps of yarn: worsted or bulky
US size J 10 hook (6.00mm)
US size K 10.5 hook (6.50mm)
US size L 11 hook (8.00mm)
Yarn needle to weave in any loose ends
ABBREVIATIONS USED (nb. I'm using the American stitch terms):
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
cl = cluster
sp = space
yo = yarn over
rep = repeat
join = join with slip stitch
beg cl = first cluster stitch of a row: ch 2, then, keeping last loop of each dc on hook, 2 dc in sp, yo and draw through all loops on hook to make cluster
cl = keeping last loop of each dc on hook, 3dc in sp, yo and draw through all loops on hook to make cluster
Using hook J
Ch 6, join to form ring (I use magic adjustable ring for this)
Round 1. In ring: beg cl, *ch 3, cl, rep from *5 times, ch 3, join in top beg cl [6 clusters]
Round 2. In ch 3 sp of previous round: beg cl, ch 3, cl, ch 3, *in next sp cl, ch 3, cl, ch 3, rep from * 5 times, join in top beg cl [12 clusters]
Round 3. In ch 3 sp: beg cl, ch 3, cl, ch 3, *in next sp cl, ch3; in next sp cl, ch 3; in next sp cl, ch 3, cl, ch 3, rep from * until end of round and join in top beg cl =16 clusters
Round 4. In ch 3 sp: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 1, *in next sp 3 dc, ch 1, rep from * 15 times
Change to K hook
Round 5. In ch 1 sp: ch 2, 2 dc, 1 ch, * 3 dc, 1 ch, rep from * 15 times
Rounds 6 - 8. rep round 5
Change to L hook
Rounds 9 - 14. rep round 5
EAR FLAP (worked back and forth in rows):
Row 1: ch 2, 2 dc in sp, ch 1, 3 dc in next sp, ch 1, 3 dc in next sp, turn
Row 2: ch 3, 3 dc in sp, ch 1, 3 dc in next sp, ch 1, 1 dc in last dc of previous row, turn
Row 3: ch 3, 3dc in middle sp, ch 1, 1 dc in last dc of previous row

NEW YORK (TheStreet) --General Electric Co. (GE) sent Steve Bolze, the President and CEO of GE Power & Water, to Paris on Friday in an attempt to save the company's $17 billion deal with Alstom SA, to buy its energy business.
The French economy minister, Arnaud Montebourg, said the government would intervene in the deal if it felt the American company was in some way going to take away France's "symbol of industrial freedom."
With the government's threat to block the deal and its support of Siemens AG (SI), a German electronics and engineering company, that also expressed interest in Alstom, GE felt pressured to adjust its deal and make it more appealing to the French, NASDAQ.com reports.

In a letter sent to French President Francois Hollande, GE said it would be willing to make compromises regarding Alstom's nuclear technology in order to calm the country's concern it will lose control over the industry which gives France a significant amount of its electricity, according to NASDAQ.
Shares of GE are down -0.30% to $26.51 on Friday.
TheStreet Ratings team rates GENERAL ELECTRIC CO as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate GENERAL ELECTRIC CO (GE) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."

Emily Blunt Jets Off to Join Matt Damon With John Krasinski by Her Side
Emily Blunt flashed her British passport last night as she and her husband John Krasinski got ready to board a flight out of LAX. The actress is in double promotional mode chatting up both Gnomeo and Juliet, which she recently shared all about at the junket, and her project with Matt Damon called The Adjustment Bureau. She and Matt had the honor of being the first ever stars to appear on both Men's and Women's Health magazines in support of their film, and they'll be together again this weekend in NYC for press days on Friday and Saturday. John is playing supportive spouse to Emily during her busy weeks, though he's been occupied with his own small screen efforts. He joined many of his The Office costars recently for the SAG Awards, where he looked dapper on the red carpet despite his cast's not taking home any statues.

Roddy's Return: A For Amusing
As promised, Roddy Beaubois did something amazing last night:
He made us watch a mid-February Dallas Mavericks game against the lowly Sacramento Kings. And, unless you're expectations were irrationally optimistic, he did not disappoint.
In his first NBA game action since last April, the second-year guard scored 13 points, dished out six assists and made three steals in an active, entertaining 21 minutes of Dallas' blowout victory.
As advertised, he played in a different gear than everyone else on the floor. Give him credit, the kid can get anywhere on the court he seemingly wants to go. He threw bad passes. He got winded in the second quarter. But he also displayed talents the likes of which we've previously only seen in a Mavericks' guard named Devin Harris.

I'm not saying Beaubois is the missing piece to the Mavs' championship puzzle. But he certainly doesn't hurt.
With their offense running through Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavs are an efficient, yet predictable offense founded upon spot-up shooters. Of their core players, only Shawn Marion creates his own shot off the dribble. That, especially in the thoroughly scouted playoffs, sometimes makes the Mavs' half-court offense easy to defend.
Not with Roddy.
He colors outside the lines. He screws the script. He makes a steal at the defensive end and four dribbles later is converting a layup at the offensive end. For a slight sophomore, he's fearless enough and talented enough to live in the lane. Those of you who criticize the Mavs for being a bunch of soft jump-shooters, you've now got a player you can't pick on.
Again, Roddy is only scratching the surface. But you don't have to squint too hard to see him growing up into a player like San Antonio's Tony Parker or Golden State's Monta Ellis.
The Mavs still probably won't win the NBA title, or even the West. But as of last night they are now more fun to watch.

At my middle school we all had to take a health class taught by our awkward bumbling eighth grade science teacher. We learned almost nothing from the class other than that no, frogs cannot have sex with horses and yes, most people have oral herpes. Finding out that most, but not all people have oral herpes was like finding out that some people in our class secretly still wet the bed (and you could figure out who just by looking at their face for sores!). One friend in particular decided that she did not already have oral herpes and would live her whole life without getting it. I asked her if I could take a sip of her water in play rehearsal once and she looked at me and said, "well, do you have herpes?"
"What?! No! I don't have herpes!" I replied.
"I mean oral herpes. Have you ever had a coldsore?"
"I don't know. Haven't you? Haven't you kissed anyone?"
"I have never had a coldsore and I'm not a slut so I don't have herpes."
"That's not how it works!"
"I don't want your dirty mouth sex disease. You can't drink my water!" She retorted.
I ended the little debate by yelling something along the lines of "FINE! I'll drink my own dirty mouth sex water!", prompting glares from my teachers and friends.
I was reminded of this scarring interchange last night when I developed a head cold, body aches, a head ache, itchy eyes, a sore throat, and a runny nose. I descended from my tissue-filled sick bed and stumbled into the common room in a fit of sneezy, runny nose-y, headache-y, wheezy coughs to two surprised suitemates who immediately threw up their hands and covered their faces squealing "don't give me that swine! Don't give me me your dirty pig disease!" Not wanting to repeat the embarrassing incidents of middle school (otherwise known as my daily goal of the day) I left it at that, retreated backwards into my room and fell asleep to the lullaby of another episode of This American Life. When I woke up this morning miraculously un-cured I called the Nurse who told me I had swine. I refused to believe her, however and went and touched all the bagels in the Branford dining hall. Okay, I'm kidding but I still feel like a leper.
UPDATE: I do not have swine! I do have a common cold which I am combating with Emergen-C in shot form (sold at Walgreens), zyrtec, and Yale's "miso" soup which really had nothing in common with miso soup other than cold tofu.

Christof Romuald was a crusader and a warrior from the Dark Ages. He is one of the protagonists of the video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption.
Christof arrived in Prague after he was separated from his warrior group. He was hurt, and was tended to by sister Anezka after he saved her from a pack of Tzimisce monsters. He became the hero of Prague when he cleared the Bonn mines, killing the Sabbat Tzimisce Azhra the Unliving.
This feat made every Kindred in the city wanting to sire him because of his faith and capabilities as a warrior. He was sired however by Ecaterina the Wise, a Promethean Brujah and one of the most civilised and intelligent vampires in Europe. Because of this new lifestyle as a Kindred, Christof was forced to leave Anezka.
Christof was a chivalrous and kind individual, who loved Anezka deeply, even as a vampire.

An 11-year-old boy is set to become the fourth brother in his family to join the Royal Ballet School. The family explains how the youngsters came to excel in ballet.
Any references to Billy Elliott are greeted with a sigh of resignation and theatrical roll of the eyes by members of the Clarke family, who hail from Airdrie in North Lanarkshire.
They have heard it all before.
Ross Clarke, 23, a graduate of the Royal Ballet School (RBS), started what has become something of a family tradition.
Now an established dancer in the US, he began attending ballet classes at the age of four.
His stint with the Ballet Arizona is the latest in a string of jobs with various companies, which has seen him work in Pittsburgh, in the US, as well as Portugal and London.
His three younger brothers have since followed in his footsteps by gaining admission to the school.
Ross says he and his brothers began dancing as a casual pastime, in addition to a variety of other hobbies.
Each of them attended a weekly class after school at the house of a ballet teacher who lived near their family home.
"The teacher thought I had some talent and one thing led to another. We weren't forced to do this, we just enjoy dancing. Our parents have been behind us from the start," says Ross.
And the eldest brother says his efforts as a youngster have paid off by enabling him to pursue his passion - although he is quick to admit that the life of a professional ballet dancer can be demanding.
"I love performing, it's the best thing about what I do. We rehearse for weeks, so when we pull it off on stage it is very rewarding.
"Training for hours and hours can be tedious, but it is worth it on stage."
His sentiments are echoed by 18-year-old Russell, who currently attends the upper school at the RBS and is due to graduate next year.
He is keen to follow in his brother's footsteps and says he would like to work with a company in Germany.
And 11-year-old Reece will become the latest Clarke family member to study dance at the school when he begins classes in September.
Both he and Ryan, 12, freely admit they have been influenced by the success of their older siblings.
"I definitely look up to my big brothers," says Ryan, who attends the RBS's lower school.
"I started dancing because it looked like a lot of fun - and it has been.
"Sometimes they give me advice when I find something is difficult, and that's really helpful."
Ryan has been rewarded with a busy schedule which has seen him perform at Buckingham Palace and dance in Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker this year alone.
But they all admit that pursuing a passion for a form of dance that is often deemed effeminate by their peers has not been easy.
Ballet bullying
"When I was younger, people used to laugh and make jokes, but no-one was ever violent and it was never serious," says Russell, as the younger boys nod in agreement.
"To be honest, they only acted like that because they didn't understand ballet and didn't know anything about it."
The brothers agree that their wide variety of hobbies, which include more stereotypically male pastimes - such as football and karate - lessened the effects of jokes made at their expense.
And it is the turn of Russell's older brother to nod in agreement when the 18-year-old points out that being an accomplished ballet dancer brings more benefits with increasing age - helping his love life, rather than hindering it.
"Ballet has meant that I'm always comfortable around girls. All my girlfriends have been dancers - but I don't know what the ladies think about us wearing leotards!"
Their mother, Ann, brims with joy when talking about her boys.
"I'm very proud of each of them," says Mrs Clarke, 45, a full-time mother.
"They're all very talented and just had an appetite for dance, which I supported," she adds, pointing out that there was no history of ballet in the family and no pressure to pursue a dance career.
"They're very active. They all played football, went swimming, attended boys' brigade and did karate. They had a lot of hobbies, but they chose to dance because they excelled at it and were happy doing it."
"It is emotional seeing them on stage because I know how hard they've worked to get there. I know how much it means to them to be there."
And their talents have not gone unnoticed by the RBS.
"We have had brothers and sisters, but to have so many from one family through the school is unusual, but very exciting," says Amanda Moxey, the school's communications and marketing manager.
"It's always nice to know you have a Clarke in the college because they are lovely kids."
And what do the brothers really think of the film that everyone associates with them?
"To be fair, Billy Elliott is a good film," says Russell.
"It's particularly good if it has encouraged young boys to take up dancing.
"But I can't really relate to it. And I suppose it'd be nice if people didn't bring it up all the time - but that's life."

Britain To Arm Syrian Rebels; Russia Retaliates By Shipping 10 MiGs To Assad
by Tyler Durden
Following Russia's first shipment of S-300 Rockets and the CNN-reported deaths of American and British citizens, it seems the situation in Syria is escalating 'behind-the-scenes' with little attention being paid in general. Whether it is the deaths or not, but according to the FT, the 'war-by-proxy' is growing in numbers as the UK is poised to ship arms to some rebel factions in Syria as soon as this summer. "The precise timing has not yet been finalized and no decision has yet been taken. But we are likely to be … shipping arms to the rebels by August," one official noted, adding that "the rebels need ammunition, and a lot of it, just to keep fighting." The US had secretly undertaken significant lobbying efforts of EU member states to get the EU arms embargo amended and this week Britain and France forced through that deal opening the door for the supply of weapons. Adding to the angst, Russia's MiG aircraft makers said on Friday that it planned to sign a new agreement to ship at least 10 fighter jets to Syria.

Deciding where to send your children to school can be an anxiety-producing experience. No matter how much money you spend on private school or how much you love the democratic ideal of public education, choosing the right school for your child can be difficult -- especially for parents on a budget.
Luckily, in many places, educational options exist at varying price ranges. The most expensive school may not be the best solution for your child, but the least costly one may not be the right answer, either.
To balance their bank accounts with the educational needs of their children, parents should begin by checking out individual schools in the area -- and treating them as individual schools.
"Your child isn't going to the public schools or the private schools; your child is going to a school," says Henry Levin, professor of economics and education at Columbia University's Teachers College.
Regardless of whether a school is public or private, look for factors beyond test scores.
"Individualized education is where I would start, and that goes from preschool through elementary school (and) to middle school to high school," says family therapist Carleton Kendrick, author of "Take Out Your Nose Ring, Honey, We're Going to Grandma's."
"Studies show that the early years can be, and often are, as significant or more significant than what will happen in high school. Their curiosity and love of learning either gets encouraged ... or rigorously drained out," says Kendrick.
If engendering a love of learning in your child is important to you, try to find a school that caters to the child's learning style or interests.
Besides individualization, parents should ask: How are classes taught? Is learning hands-on or are lessons delivered by lectures?
"Are there opportunities to do more than just sit in a classroom and memorize, be tested and memorize?" Levin says. "If your child has a real interest in sports and drama and theater, then you want to make sure that you have those things."
And that is the real key to finding the right school for your children -- knowing what they like, how they learn, their strengths and their weaknesses, as well as their interests.
Within the public school system are magnet schools at the elementary, middle and high school levels. These schools have high academic standards and may specialize in particular subjects, such as science or fine arts, and they often draw students with special talents or interests from surrounding school districts.
Cost: Free to parents but not to taxpayers. Nationally, the average annual cost for public school is $9,295 per student, according to the 2007 Report Card on American Education published by the American Legislative Exchange Council.
Benefit: Public schools accept everyone, which means students learn in a racially and socioeconomically diverse environment. Acceptance at magnet schools is often competitive and may be based on rigorous entrance exams or auditions, on a lottery system, or a combination of the two. At some magnet schools, all students who apply are accepted.
Speaking of public schools in general, Levin says, "I think people learn a lot from working with people of other backgrounds. Those things become really important later in life when you go into the workplace."

"There were a load of pictures in the press of me looking like I've put on weight and it's making me really paranoid and I feel really unattractive.

Jane Monheit at Jazz Alley
2033 6th Ave
Seattle, WA 98121
With her latest album, The Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald—the first to be released on her own Emerald City Records—Long Island native Jane Monheit has surprised even herself with her artistic leap. Blessed with "a voice of phenomenal beauty." – Stephen Holden, New York Times
On this new album, Monheit pays joyous tribute to Ella while sharing a definitive portrait of herself, guided by her producer, arranger, and trumpet great, Nicholas Payton. "This record is really different. It's the first recording I've made without a label and so I was able to make all the decisions myself. Honestly, when I listened back to the takes, I heard a different singer than I've heard before—a more mature one. It was a little scary because there's a certain raw quality to some of the vocals but we gave no thought to fixing them. These were the vocals of a 38-year-old woman with a lot of life experience." Throughout the recording, Jane's gorgeous upward swoop is pure Ella, her earthy wordless phrases pure Sarah, but this album is a classic example of a singer leading her influences rather than being led by them.
Jane Monheit was born on November 3, 1977. She was raised in Oakdale, New York, on Long Island's South Shore. Her aunt and grandmother were professional singers. Her mother performed in musical theater and currently performs in local choirs, and her father plays banjo and guitar. His love of bluegrass, folk, and acoustic blues (Bonnie Raitt and Maura O'Connell were among his favorites) shaped her musical sensibility.
Jane spent her childhood summers at the Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts, from which she received a distinguished alumna award (other notable alumni include Natalie Portman, Mariah Carey, and Taylor Dayne). Throughout her years of public school, she studied clarinet and music theory and performed in theatrical productions both at school and with her local community theater group. Jane went on to study voice at the Manhattan School of Music with Peter Eldridge, a founding member of the vocal group New York Voices. She graduated with honors in 1999 and received the William H. Borden Award for outstanding accomplishment in jazz. Then, at the age of 20, Jane became first runner-up in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute's vocal competition behind the late, great Teri Thornton. Soon after, Jane released her stunning debut album, Never Never Land, featuring Kenny Barron, Ron Carter, and Lewis Nash. The first of four recordings for N-Coded—a label founded by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen with Phil Ramone—the album was voted Best Recording Debut by the Jazz Journalists Association and stayed on the Billboard jazz chart for a year.

York Indoor Bowls Club's ladies continued their impressive season with the Vivienne Trophy team reaching the final and the Mason Trophy team the semi-final.
The Vivienne Trophy team played Huntingdon and surprisingly saw only one winning rink. That was Barbara Dawson's rink, who got off to a good start, leading 8-1 after five ends. They maintained supremacy to win 34-15.
The other rinks also played their part. Brenda Martin's led 19-17 with five ends to go, then fell behind but vitally picked up a single on the last to only lose 23-20.
Away, Irene Paylor's side found the going tough but importantly won three of the last five ends to go from 17-8 down and lose 19-12.
Pat Bracken's excelled when scoring a seven on the eighth end to lead 12-5.
But the hosts responded by winning five successive ends to take a 16-12 lead. Bracken's rink rallied, and with the need not to drop too many shots they succeeded to eke out a decsive 21-21 share-all.
York will now play Dolphin IBC froom Poole in the final at Northampton IBC on Tuesday, March 25.
The club are running a coach to the game and anyone wanting to book seats should phone 01904 704180.
York's Mason Trophy team were in action against Barwell IBC at Lincoln IBC.
The slow-starting York ranks trailed 14-7 on aggregate after only five ends. But by the tenth they had taken the lead at 19-18.
The tie changed on the 15th end as both York sides picked up big scores. Carol Instone's rink scored a six to lead 20-8 and Linda Harrison's a five to bring their score to 16-15 against them, importantly taking a 35-24 aggregate lead.
Instone followed the six by winning the next two ends, scoring a two then a single.
Harrison dropped two singles, then hit back by scoring five shots over the next three ends to take the lead for the first time in the game and went into the last 20-18 in front before dropping a single.
Instone's team, meanwhile, finished with an excellent 23-14 victory.
York's semi-final opponents will be County Arts (Norwich) in a tie to be played at Northampton IBC on Thursday, March 27, starting at 6pm.
If successful, York will play the winners of the Egham v Adur showdown the following morning at 9.30am.

Summer is about kicking back on island time; alternating long lazy days at the beach with great seaside shopping. We asked Wanderlista founder and uber cool local globetrotter Andria Mitsakos to share her favorite shopping spots on the island.
Get ready for a great day of discovery followed by an evening chilling out in the bohemian splendor of the San Giorgio Mykonos hotel.
Andria?s globetrotter guide: Mykonos
Apriati is an addiction! This is the place to stock up on Greecian arm candy. Each year I buy a new charm (year of the dragon, year of the snake, etc.) in solid gold (they also do silver) on a colored string. In addition to their many charms, they have gorgeous creations peppered with diamonds in silver, rose, yellow, and black gold. I don?t think I?ve ever left this store without buying something. Begin with the ?starter? bracelet, for around 40?, but please do not blame me for starting your addiction!
Neighborhood: Mykonos Town
Address: Matoyianni 20
Owned by expat American fashion photographer Beva Sewell and her Greek husband Marios, this contemporary art gallery specializes in mosaic sculpture. I bought a windmill sculpture last year and it serves as the ultimate reminder of this breezy island retreat.
Neighborhood: Mykonos Town
Address: 37 Agiou Efthimou, tel: 22890 772223
John Shortall
One of my best friends on the island, John Shortall, is a Brit transplant who used to be in real estate. John?s jewelry is made from 400-year-old opium pipes that he finds along the banks of the River Thames in London. John and his wares can be on found on the Wanderlista online store or at the entrance to my favorite taverna, Kiki?s, at Agios Sostis beach from around noon to 5pm.
Neighborhood: Agios Sostis
Address: Agios Sostis beach at Kiki?s Taverna
The Towel Guy at Agios Sostis beach
I do not remember his name but there is a great guy selling Nigerian and Indian fabric towels on the clothing optional side of Agios Sostis beach. If you can?t find him ask John Shortall, he?ll know!
Hippie Fish
This bohemian outpost is also a restaurant. It sells brands like Tatiana Choremi (who is also available on Shop Latitude). Last year, Naomi Campbell and I bumped hands reaching for the same bracelet!
Neighborhood: Agios Ioannis
Tel: 22890-23547
Viologiki Gonia
I try to go organic whenever possible. Bio Select cosmetics from the island of Crete has an amazing Dictamelia compound that is like photoshop in jar! Trust me, you?ll never reach for your La Mer again. The market also sells organic fruits and vegtables from local producers, so it?s a great stop off on your way to the beach.
Neighborhood: Agios Taxiarchis
Address: Road to Ano Mera, 22890 23838
Marissa Taboulchanas Ceramics
Located on one of my favorite beaches, this tiny shop is owned by Marissa Taboulchanas, an artist who creates collections of cool ceramics including pendants in Cycladic shapes. These pendants look great layered with charms from Apriati and John Shortall.
Neighborhood: Fokos
Address: At Fokos Beach Tavern, Marissa mobile: 694 4644343

Stocks To Trade
Today, we are looking at an earnings trade in AOL (NYSE:AOL), longs in Mastercard (NYSE:MA) and Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), and shorts in Fifth Third (NASDAQ:FITB) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO).
For an earnings trade, we are looking at AOL today. AOL was one of our top picks for earnings season as we believe the company has good value combined with great growth prospects for the quarter. The story in AOL is all about the turnaround led by CEO Tim Armstrong, and we believe that the stock is looking good to continue higher from here. First off, the company has transformed its image. What was once a membership internet portal is now being shifted to a news/informatino portal that is funded by internet advertising. The company has seen revenue declines drop dramatically, and they may actually see those revenues increase in 2013. Additionally, AOL looks solid due to the fact that they are going to see EPS increase from -0.02 to 0.20 in this quarter despite lower sales. The company is making money while losing sales, which is a great sign of things are moving in the right direction here. We expect a move over 40 by earnings, but we offer a more conservative way to play the stock.
Trade: AOL, Nov17, 35/33 Bull Put Spread
Max Gain: 11%
For longs, we like the looks of Mastercard and Starbucks. Mastercard is looking very solid in the midst of a strong upward channel. The company recently got a weight lifted off its back with the conclusion of a lawsuit from a group of retailers as the $6B fee was less than expected. Since that news broke, the stock has been moving higher, and it was testing previous resistance at 482 today. We believe a break of that level will be very strong for the stock. They have earnings at the end of the month, and given great results from Discover (NYSE:DFS) and expected sales/earnings growth of around 6%, we do not see any reason to expect major weakness. Watch that level to buy. SBUX is also looking strong. The company has been up and down a lot as of late with different catalysts moving it all over. Right now, we believe the company looks very strong. They are reporting that Verismo sales are ahead of expectations, coffee prices have not soared, and the company is expanding in a lot of great ways with juices, alcohol and more. We believe that the stock has shown a multiple bottom in 2012 at 44, and we like that level for forming a Jan2013 bull put spread.
Stock Trade: Long, MA
Breakout Point: 482.00
Options Trade: SBUX, Jan19, 44/43 Bull Put Spread
Max Gain: 25%
For shorts, we like the looks of Fifth Third Bank and Coca-Cola. Fifth Third has earnings on Thursday and we believe it could see another drop tomorrow. The stock was toying with $15 support today, and the company did not break it, but we would be shorting on that move. The company is not expected to show much growth in sales and in fact show a 5% drop in EPS YoY. Further, they have been recently downgraded for valuation. The stock has made quite a move over the past two months, and any signs of weakness is going to see lots of investors/traders pulling gains off the table. Finally, it was not a great report for KO. The company met expectations, but that is really just not good enough in this market. The stock lost its $38 support, and it is not looking strong right now. $40 has been a top for the stock, and we believe that level should hold moving forward.
Stock Trade: FITB, Short
Breakout point: 15.00
Options Trade: KO, Jan19, 40/41.25 Bear Call Spread
Max Gain: 11%
Tomorrow's Outlook:
The market has looked solid over the past two days, but as we have returned most of the recent losses back to the market...where do we go next? We still believe each day is going to depend on that day's reports. The market is very fickle right now and trends are not lasting long. The key right now is earnings and data. Tomorrow morning, we will get data from the housing market that will be interesting to watch. Housing Starts/Building Permits will really be key to the market tomorrow. Last month, housing data slowed, and if it shows another slowdown, it could suggest that the housing recovery is slowing and would give the market some weakness. Earnings to watch are IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) tonight along with Abbot Labs (NYSE:ABT), Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), and Pepsico (NYSE:PEP) tomorrow. It's a big slate of reports with key companies reporting, and that will have a big impact on tomorrow.
Our Moves/Holdings:
We had a nice day in the market as we were able to lock in a 2% gain on our trade in McKesson (NYSE:MCK). We also were able to lock in a 33% gain in an investment we held in our long-term portfolio in Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ). We added a long in Visa (NYSE:V) to our Short-Term Equity as well as a long in Northern Oil & Gas (NYSEMKT:NOG) to our Earnings Alpha portfolio.
We have the following positions:
In our Short-Term Equity Portfolio we are long Visa.
In our Options Portfolio, we are long Discover, Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU), Williams-Sonoma (NYSE:WSM), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM). We are short United States Oil (NYSEARCA:USO).

We are short Polo Ralph Lauren (NYSE:RL).
In our Goldman Sachs Up/Down Paper Portfolio, we are long Teradata (NYSE:TDC), Host Hotels (NYSE:HST), BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP), and Netsuite (NYSE:N). We are short Mechel (NYSE:MTL).

Let the spec war begin. =-) RFC 2616 - Section 3.1 - HTTP Version: The HTTP version of an application is the highest HTTP version for which the application is at least conditionally compliant. RFC 2145 goes into specific detail about this problem (what to send) - see Section 2.3: --- An HTTP client SHOULD send a request version equal to the highest version for which the client is at least conditionally compliant, and whose major version is no higher than the highest version supported by the server, if this is known. An HTTP client MUST NOT send a version for which it is not at least conditionally compliant. An HTTP client MAY send a lower request version, if it is known that the server incorrectly implements the HTTP specification, but only after the client has determined that the server is actually buggy. An HTTP server SHOULD send a response version equal to the highest version for which the server is at least conditionally compliant, and whose major version is less than or equal to the one received in the request. An HTTP server MUST NOT send a version for which it is not at least conditionally compliant. A server MAY send a 505 (HTTP Version Not Supported) response if cannot send a response using the major version used in the client's request. --- Of course, I could be misunderstanding it all. But, the chances of httpd's HTTP parser being incorrect w.r.t. the spec or the intent of the authors is very very slim. FWIW, IIS and iPlanet both behave identically to Apache (try out microsoft.com and netscape.com). I'll now get out of the way to make room for the spec police. -- justin

JCPenney, Best Buy, Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, SONY Headline Hispanic Summit
Leading Latino market experts will discuss shopper insights at Hispanic Retail 360; McDonald's joins advisory board.
DALLAS -- With a speaker lineup that includes top retailers, suppliers and Latino market experts, the third annual Hispanic Retail 360 Summit, Aug. 1-3, 2007, at the Westin Park Central Hotel in Dallas, promises to be the premier educational event for retailers looking to maximize their business with the growing Latino consumer market in the U.S.
Kal Patel, executive vice president, emerging business and strategy for Best Buy, and Manny Fernandez, manager of multicultural marketing for JCPenney, will be among the retailers taking the dais to share insights and practices for connecting with the Latino shopper.
Representatives of other grocery, convenience and department store retailers, including ExxonMobil, Southwest Convenience Stores (the largest 7-Eleven licensee in the U.S.), Pro's Ranch Markets and La Curacao, will also present case studies, along with major suppliers to the retail business, including Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch and SONY. In addition, Raul Reyes, strategy leader for U.S. Marketing for McDonald's Corp., has been named to the Summit's 23-member Retail Advisory Board, which provides feedback and helps shape conference content.
The 2007 format will also include more breakout sessions allowing participants to choose from an array of topics and areas of interest and experience levels that suit their needs.
The 2007 Hispanic Retail 360 Summit will feature:
-- A Marketing Track covering grassroots marketing (a Johnson & Johnson case study with Wal-Mart), direct mail/print (Latino Direct Mail Success Stories), and digital/broadcast.
-- A Retailing Track featuring sessions on grocery, convenience, consumer electronics and Internet retailing.
-- A Consumer Insights Track highlighted by ACNielsen's look into Hispanic consumers' shopping baskets, advice on how to target wealthy Hispanics, and cashing in on Hispanic holidays.
-- Live on-site focus group of Latino shoppers from different backgrounds and acculturation levels, conducted by NBC-Today Show Food Expert Phil Lempert, The Supermarket Guru.
-- More product areas from food to general merchandise and topics of interest to all retail channels including department stores, mass merchandisers, supermarkets, convenience stores, drug stores and specialty retailers in consumer electronics, home improvement, apparel and more.
-- Store tour to view best practices by Dallas-area retailers who serve the Hispanic community.
One of the highlights of the Summit will be the presentation of the Hispanic Retail Excellence Award. Last year's winner was Anaheim-based JAX Markets. The 2005 winner was Pros Ranch Market, which operates Hispanic market stores in southern California and four in Phoenix, Ariz.
Last year's Summit, held in Chicago, attracted more than 500 attendees composed of retailers from across all channels of retailing, major consumer products goods manufacturers, advertising agencies and consultants. Feedback from last year's attendees was extremely positive. "Great conference! It really is the 360 degrees. You start from point A and continue on. No matter what level of knowledge you come with, you leave with the total picture," said Maria St. Germain of Kroger, the giant supermarket chain.
Publication partners for Hispanic Retail 360 include Progressive Grocer, Adweek, Marketing y Medios, Brandweek, Mediaweek, and Convenience Store News. The Mexican American Grocer Association, NACS (The Association for Convenience & Petroleum Retailing), GMDC (General Merchandise Distributors Council) and the California Independent Grocers & Convenience Stores are among the trade association sponsors.
This year's sponsors include Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Vertis, CityReach Latino, Kraft, Hershey, and McLane Co. Several sponsorship packages are still available. For more information on sponsorships, please contact Jeff Friedman, vice president, customer media, Nielsen Business Media, at 646-654-7452, or email: [email protected].
For registration information, please contact Lois Miller at [email protected] or go to www.hispanicretail360.com.
The agenda will be shaped by the Hispanic Retail 360 Retailer Advisory Board consisting of market leaders across all channels of retailing.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
I thought this was the final level...

Dishonored. I like that you can turn off all pesky HUD elements.
Some more Dark Souls moments!
Siff, the Wolf is one of the coolest Bossses. The Manticore I was unable to beat yet, such an annoying boss.
Sonic Generations Unleashed (with FX PipeLine Renderer, which I found what its naming, augmented with forced AFx16 through my driver). I carry on my Classic adventure.
Well, I'm not going to argue with a pelican!
Sonic looks at the menu, only to be disappointed in the lack of chilli dogs. (Also, I think Red Mountain might be a reference to a level from one of the Adventure games, come to think of it.)
Better run fast to take off that Cool Edge.
I think this one speaks for itself.
General tip: Don't bring any special weapons, just get something with high physical
The secret: Don't block when he does the roar thing. It will drain all your stamina instantly. Instead, either roll or just tank it so you can block the follow up attack
It's a long way down.
That feeling of tension as you hope not to break your speed and plunge into the abyss, yet simultaneous satisfaction that you're running on water.
...uh oh!
Sonic unleashed mod, cool! Want to try it out tomorrow. I heard spin dashing with classic sonic in the unleashed levels crashes the game, has that happened to you? Also, how does the mod run with all the snazzy effects?
Yup, Classic Sonic is generally not designed to work in 3D space. Spin dash will break the game, but you can use it in any location where you're limited to the 2D plane (there are a few occasions where this is also where the camera is behind you, but don't use if you're unsure). His turning when racing forward is really poor, so you have to be really precise with his movements. I'd also wager that most of the levels are simply not completable without the homing attack custom skill, which you can get if you complete Windmill Isle as Classic and collect all the red rings (not that I've tried any other level than the tutorial, which I don't think is possible without it, but WI might be the only level that you can complete without homing attack).
There's a few other general bugs too, like the game will CTD every so often and only when playing as Classic, sometimes the loading screen between the level end and the hub will last forever and you'll need to manually close it down. Basically, they've done a minimal job of catering to letting you play as Classic, but that in itself is a nice fun bonus.
In terms of performance, it only dips on the notoriously heavy resource levels. I haven't tried without the FX thingy, but I get the feeling that doesn't do too much difference in comparison to standard high configuration in vanilla. My computer isn't exactly amazing, but it's a quad core with a 6800 series card. I think with a better card, the frame drops wouldn't happen. Even then, they don't at all break the sense of speed. They're noticeable, but they don't ever get close to making it unplayable. The change of adding the forced Antistropic Filtering x16 seems to have made almost no impact on performance too, but makes a definite change to the overall image quality.

Got out last week while on Sanibel Island for a barefoot beach run. Lots of shells on that beach made it pretty difficult for feet that haven't run barefoot for quite a long time, but it felt good anyway. Got a couple of good blisters but they went away within a few days after popping 'em.
Run to Win25 Marathons, 17 Ultras, 16 States (Full List)
That's a lot of shells, but the do look like the kind that aren't too bad to run on. I have to wait another two months before I get in my beach running.
My first run of the season was about March 15th. There was still ice and snow, and I got blisters from trying to grab in with my toes.
This season has started with lots of blisters and not enough time to roughen my feet up. I am training for a TRI and my feet are soaking for 30+ minutes every week.
Had a race this Sunday that I tried to do BF. 7.1 miles, 84 degrees. Blacktop was too hot. Too many stones for me. I was walking back after 3.7 miles. I would try to run and my feet were so sensitive by this point that I would get only a few steps before something minor would shoot pain through my foot. I was ready to turn back at mile 2.5 but completed the course. There was so much chipped rock, gravel and dirt roads, that I dont know if I would do this again barefoot ever again.
Next Wed Im thinking of doing the 5k BF. I got a PR in April BF and I beat the #1 Female! I heard her complaining about the "barefoot guy" -
"I cant catch him, and Ive got springs in my shoes and he is just bounding along"
RUN SAFE. Barefoot 1st: 6/9/13. PR: 5k=22:50 10k=47:46 HM 1:51. FM 4:28 Oct 2015 joined RUN 169!

Initial Review: 2,000 miles on tires
April 20, 2012
Had these tires on the rear of my 05' G35 sedan with sports package for a year, and only 2,000 miles on them, since I live close to work, I dont drive alot. But when I do drive I am very spirited driver and look for the corners, handles great, and good for a summer tire. Even during the heavy downpours we had with rain for a few days, these tires didnt skip a beat. Love them. When my tire installer saw the them after a year being installed, he said they still look new. I have never driven in snow, so now rating there.

Remembrance of Sgt Kerby
26 May 2010 — Star Valley, AZ
Sgt Kerby had only been with us a very short time in Bravo Co 2/27 Wolfhounds 25th Inf Div. He was assigned to the 3rd platoon and we were working out of a patrol base called Kolchek near the Cambodia border just south of the Angel Wing or the Parriots Beak. The 3rd platoon had gone out on an ambush patrol and was coming back in the next morning. We were told that Sgt Kerby had taken point on the way in and was walking thru a wet area, which the whole area had standing water, including the patrol base, which was just one huge mud hole. This whole area, being close to the border, had been bombed heavily in the past years. Sgt Kerby stepped on what we figured was a 250lb undetonated bomb submerged under the water.

Brother Ali, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color
It's been three years since Brother Ali delivered his last LP and the Minneapolis rapper has returned just in the nick of time. His politically-driven fifth album, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color, is yet another exposé of his life journeys—even more so than his last two lauded releases, 2009's Us and 2007's The Undisputed Truth.
The album is guided by socio-political undertones, but rather than just trying to drop knowledge, the underground vet doesn't hesitate to unveil back-end anecdotes and personal tragedy. The revelations surface throughout, but are most apparent on cuts like "Stop The Press," where he painstakingly rhymes, "Got a phone call on the fourth of July/My dad died, he committed suicide." Later, the Rhymesayers talent addresses poverty without concentrating on race ("Only Life I Know") and lampoons rap's fixation with illegal trades by figuratively disclosing a series of odd jobs he partook in—as if they were drug dealing and pimping ("Need a Knot"). On "Mourning In America," BA castigates America's violent tendency, rapping, "When innocent people perish/It's a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist." Moments like this represent his ability to strikes the ever-elusive balance of creating meaningful, thought-provoking and sharply opinionated music without coming off self-righteous. It's his use of personal experience that levels Ali with the listener—he's just as confused, goes through just as many personal and professional tribulations, and is just as eager to find a better day.
Jake One helms all 14 tracks, and the Seattle native's distinguished soul production provides the necessary thump throughout, proving that one-producer-one-MC formula works superbly for this juncture. On "Say Amen," Brother Ali separates himself from underground MC stereotypes: "I ain't bitter or backpacker or conscious/I just want y'all the fuck out my ear with that nonsense." No nonsense, here. —Jaeki Cho (@JaekiCho)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A witness at a nearby smoke shop said a man stole a woman's Ford Mustang, took it for a joyride and then crashed it into a pole on Jacksonville Southside early Saturday morning.
The crash happened in front of the Shell gas station at Emerson St. and Interstate 95 around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
A witness said the man stole the car from a woman while she left it running outside a bar and sped off with it. She said he hit a curb and then crashed into a sign.
After that, she said the man got out, went inside a store to buy a 'Black and Mild' cigar, then called a friend who picked him up.
Witnesses said they called police but officers didn't arrive in time to catch the man.
The Mustang still sat in front of the gas station around noon Saturday, and looked to have sustained severe damage.
If you have any information about what happened or where the carjacker is, call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
