Willingham not interested in trade rumors
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins left fielder Josh Willingham has started to show signs that he's starting to come around offensively, and he said he's doing his best not to think about the trade rumors involving him leading up to the non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31.
Willingham hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning to lead the Twins to a 4-3 win over the Indians on Monday night, a day after driving in two runs in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.
Willingham is still hitting just .217 this season entering Tuesday, but he does have a .365 on-base percentage and a .422 slugging percentage. He has nine homers, five doubles and 28 RBIs in 52 games.
Willingham is in the final year of a three-year, $21 million deal signed before the 2012 season. He's never been traded during the season but has been part of offseason trades in 2008 and '10. But he's heard his name pop up in July trade rumors in the last few seasons, and said he just tries to tune it all out.
"I pay seriously zero attention to it," Willingham said. "What I do hear comes from teammates or my wife, but I really don't pay any attention to it."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he's been seeing positive signs from Willingham in recent days, and believes he's coming out of his recent funk.
"We've been talking about it for a couple days, but he's just on the ball right now," Gardenhire said. "We think the bat head is starting to get to the right spot. Last night, on a little hanging slider, he deposited it, which was huge for us and for him. It helps his confidence. Hopefully we can build off that."

Brooke is a 23-year-old beauty who's on the fast track. L.A. born and raised, Brooke started her career as a video "ho," but has broken out of the ranks and is now snagging the crme de la crme of jobs. Beginning with VSOP commercials with Snoop and Archbishop Don "Magic" Juan, and recently the covers of Lowrider with Ice Cube, Brooke's million-mega-watt smile is doing big things.
Brooke's five years of hustle is finally paying dividends. With hobbies like shopping and fine dining, it's a good thing, since we know how much women love to spend. Brooke works off those calories by working out and getting her roll on roller-skating.
When it comes to thrills, Brooke is an amusement park fiend and has been known to spend an entire day bouncing from ride to ride; certainly a sight to behold, we're sure. Look for Brooke to be around for quite a while, and we'll be photographing this beauty again for sure.

You have to marvel at what just transpired this quarter. This was the single most triumphant quarter for so many different kinds of stocks that I can recall since the 1990s.
And yet when I read and listen, it is the same old, same old -- cautious bulls, worried about Europe, worried about China, worried about sequestration, worried about earnings, worried about Washington.
You can truly say that the last 13 years really did a number on us. In fact, the only time I can recall hearing someone say, "Look, I like these stocks and they must be bought" was today on "Halftime Report," when Laszlo Birinyi just told it like it is and rattled off Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Priceline.com (PCLN), Amazon (AMZN), Sears Holdings (SHLD) and a couple of others and said these are going higher. What happened to people like Birinyi? What happened to people with conviction? How did everyone decide that what matters is Slovenia or the chart or Washington or any host of things other than the company?
Tonight I had the good fortune to interview Fred Hassan, who just penned Reinvent, a book that was spawned by the hard lessons of the man who had turned around more businesses successfully than anyone alive. We talked about the importance of leadership, of culture, of the CEO and how much the CEO can mean to the stock price. Between Hassan and Birinyi, I felt totally old school. Otherwise it's all about risk-on, record-high territory, BlackBerry (BBRY) and Apple (AAPL).
Let this quarter be a lesson. The times, they have a changed. Old school is coming back. Stocks matter. CEOs matter. Slovenia?
It only matters as to how to get a better price for Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY).

Pacheco prepares for season with new outlook
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Rockies catcher Jordan Pacheco doesn't go along with the theory that the irregularity, and at times the absence, of playing time destroyed his numbers last season.
In 2012, Pacheco led Major League rookies with a .309 batting average in 475 at-bats while playing third and first base. But last year as mostly the backup at first, with Todd Helton playing regularly in his farewell campaign, Pacheco hit .239 in just 247 at-bats.
"I didn't do a good job last year to help the team in the role I was in," Pacheco said. "When you know you can do something and you don't do it, it hacks you off.
"You want to be comfortable out there, but at this level, you have to learn how to be comfortably uncomfortable. LaTroy [Hawkins, a Rockies veteran reliever] said that the other day, and he's right. Once you learn how to deal with that, everything changes."
During the season, the Rockies sent Pacheco to Triple-A Colorado Springs to return to catcher -- his Minor League position. Now Pacheco figures to have regular at-bats behind Wilin Rosario. With the Rockies wanting to preserve Rosario's health because of his power bat, there will most likely be playing opportunities when Rosario is serving as the designated hitter or even the first baseman on occasion.
"It was tough when the at-bats were sporadic last year," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. It's tough to keep your numbers pretty when you're in that role, and then you try to make up for lost time when you do get in there. But we haven't lost any confidence in Jordan as a hitter."
Additionally, Pacheco is considered a strong receiver and could enter in place of Rosario when the Rockies need defense behind the plate late in tight games. Pacheco is a strong game-caller, because he is able to discern the comfort level of his pitcher, veer from the scouting report when necessary and go where the game leads him.
"I do feel confident in the pitcher-catcher relationship," Pacheco said. "A lot of guys like to throw certain pitches when they're not feeling good and certain pitches when they're feeling good. If you can figure that out before they step on the mound, it makes it a lot easier.
"The information, the scouting reports we get, those are just suggestions. Once you get into a game, you're dealing with a competitor."

Throughout the State, the New Mexico Film Office (NMFO) works with many individuals with local knowledge and relationships who assist with a variety of industry activities. These activities may include searching for local filming locations (scouting), relaying location information, submitting location photographs, collecting statistics, securing permits and facilitating production and community relations. This network of relationships is vital in maintaining a united front to attract productions to New Mexico and to disseminate industry news and resources.
Many communities have designated one of these individuals as their film liaison. Often this individual will have relationships with the local fire and police departments, the chamber of commerce and municipal airport as well as businesses and property owners. The liaison becomes an industry point person who represents their city, county, pueblo or tribe. In several communities, this is a person already employed by the city or tribe, often in the chamber, visitor's bureau, economic development division or other government office. In a few instances, the local film liaison is a volunteer who may be a former employee of a local government entity. New Mexico also has a few communities that have created a local film office that specifically employs an individual solely with this job responsibility.
The NMFO does not determine who will be the film liaison for a community, county, pueblo or tribe.
The NMFO does not determine the role of that local liaison; however, the NMFO does encourage this person become sanctioned as a State Film Liaison.
1. Submit a letter of endorsement stating you are the State Film Liaison from a local government official, such as your Mayor, City Manager, County Commissioner or a Tribal Official to the NMFO; and
2. Contact the NMFO regarding the State Film Liaison Manual; and
3. Attend a NMFO Location Photos Workshop; and
4. Attend the NMFO Annual Liaisons Meeting; and
5. Sign the Film Liaison Guidelines Agreement; and
6. Fill out the Film Liaison Contact Sheet
In addition, sanctioned film liaisons are encouraged to:
7. Take the Film Fundamentals online course available through the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI) website.
Communities may only have one designated State Film Liaison and some may choose to have one Assistant State Film Liaison. Either the endorsed State Film Liaison must email or write the NMFO to inform us of their designee or the assistant must have a letter of endorsement on letterhead submitted to the NMFO by a government official of the said city, community, county, tribe or pueblo.
For all community contacts, please visit our community profiles and tribal profiles.

Santa Fe, N.M. - New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that the television series "Graves," a single-camera, half-hour political satire produced by Lionsgate for premium TV network EPIX®, will return to film its 10-episode second season in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo and Santa Fe, starting this week through July.
Starring three-time Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Nick Nolte ("A Walk in the Woods," "The Thin Red Line"), Golden Globe® and two-time Emmy® Award-winning actress Sela Ward ("Gone Girl," "Sisters"), Skylar Astin ("Pitch Perfect"), Heléne Yorke ("Masters of Sex"), Chris Lowell ("The Help") and Callie Hernandez ("Alien: Covenant"), the production will employ at least 200 New Mexico crew members and approximately 2,500 local background talent.
After a year of highly public protests against his Presidential legacy, Season 2 finds former President Richard Graves turning inward in search of the man he used to be before he was President. This journey is compounded by the arrival of his first grandchild, thanks to daughter Olivia (Heléne Yorke) and a new revelation about his son, Jeremy (Chris Lowell). Graves's journey coincides with his wife Margaret's (Sela Ward) Senate campaign, as the former First Lady attempts to build her own political legacy at the exact moment that her husband is tearing his down; and his assistant, Isaiah Miller's (Skylar Astin) search for new direction after taking a bullet for the President in the Season 1 finale.
"Getting to season two is never easy - and when you get renewed, your chances of continuing for multiple seasons increase exponentially," said New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis. "We like that...more seasons, more jobs, longer term economic impact."
"I welcome and am always excited about the economic benefits film and television bring to Rio Rancho and New Mexico and I very much look forward to having 'Graves' back in our wonderful city," said Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull.
"We're very happy that 'Graves' has been 're-elected' to a second season, and we welcome them back to the Santa Fe area -- where we appreciate shows about politics," said Santa Fe County Manager Katherine Miller.
Produced by Lionsgate in association with Kingsgate Films, Josh Michael Stern ("Swing Vote," "Jobs") is the creator/showrunner, Academy Award® winner Greg Shapiro ("The Hurt Locker," "Zero Dark Thirty") and Rebecca Kirshner ("90210," "Gilmore Girls") are executive producers, Abby Gewanter ("Pushing Daisies") is supervising producer, and Emmy® Award-winning Bill Hill ("Veep," "Eastbound & Down") and Jack Moore ("Dear White People," "Crowded") are producers.
In this EPIX Original Series, President Richard Graves (Nick Nolte), a former two-term POTUS, embarks on a Don Quixote-like quest to right the wrongs of his administration and reclaim his legacy 25 years after leaving the White House. With topics ranging from immigration to gay rights, to foreign policy to public funding for arts and sciences, Graves holds nothing sacred as he unspools some of his administration's proudest victories. His enlightenment takes place just as his wife Margaret Graves (Sela Ward) decides it's finally time for her to pursue her own political ambitions.

Buddha's direct disciples I know of and some major Theravadin figures in the 19-20th centuries, but that leaves a vast period of time I am ignorant of. Aside from Buddhagosha and Ashoka there must have been many Arahants or sages that Theravadins admire.

Skylanders, 2011's #1 kids game, is about to get bigger - literally - with the release of Skylanders Giants this fall.
Skylanders Giants introduces twenty (20) new characters, among them eight (8) new super-sized Giants - such as Tree Rex pictured above - with powers to match. These Giant figures, which are twice the size of the main skylanders cast in both physical and virtual form, will feature new lighting technology (batteries are not required) allowing the toy to light up when near or on the Portal of Power. These characters have additional in-game benefits as well. We saw several examples of these benefits in the demo we watched at Toy Fair, the Giant able to access several new areas with its massive strength. One case was a floating island that the Giant was able to pull towards the mainland via a large metal chain and a secret treasure room that the Giant smashed into through the ground.
In addition to the larger, cooler figures, Skylanders Giants will feature wider worlds. Portal Masters will see all new arenas and more gameplay options in Battle Mode for exciting head-to-head play, as well as enhanced Elemental Zones, new Hero Challenges, and other features that encourage players to collect and level up every character. Every character from Skylanders Spyros Adventure will be 100% compatible with Skylanders Giants, leveled-up stats and customizations intact.

Developed by Toys For Bob and published by Activision, Skylanders Giants will be available for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, and handheld and mobile devices. Look for it in Fall 2012 priced at a SRP of $69.99 for the Starter Pack which includes the game, Portal of Power and several figures.

THURSDAY, March 28 (HealthDay News) -- In much of the United
States, there's little evidence of spring yet, unless you have
seasonal allergies.
Folks with spring allergies are likely already experiencing
sneezing, watery eyes and fatigue because of tree pollen, experts
The northern part of the country typically has high tree pollen
levels in March, April and May, although this year's colder winter
may have delayed the process in some areas, said Dr. Kevin McGrath,
a spokesman for the American College of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology. Southern states start a bit earlier, and can have high
tree pollen counts beginning in January, he said.
People with allergies, sometimes called hay fever, may notice
more severe symptoms because of higher pollen counts, and allergy
seasons may last longer, McGrath said.
"We've seen record pollen counts for trees and ragweed [the most common fall allergy trigger] for the past few years, and the seasons may be a bit longer -- about six to seven more days in the Midwest and a few more days in the Northeast," said McGrath. "These changes are definitely linked to higher levels of carbon dioxide."
Although he said these changes were likely because of climate
change, there isn't definitive evidence to prove the link, he
The delay in tree pollens this spring means that people with
allergies may experience a "stacking" effect, said McGrath.
Normally, different trees have peak pollen levels at different
times. This year, there may be significant overlap, which may mean
a tough few weeks for people with multiple tree allergies.
Dr. David Lang, section head of allergy and immunology at the
Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, said it can be difficult to know if your
symptoms are due to a cold or an allergy. If you have a fever, it's
a cold or flu and not allergies, Lang said. If your symptoms last
longer than 10 days, it's allergies rather than a cold, he added.
And if you feel worse outside, but better when you come inside,
you're probably experiencing allergies.
If you have symptoms year-round, you probably have indoor
allergies as well, he said. Common indoor allergens are dust mites
and pets, he said.
Symptoms of seasonal allergies include sneezing and an itchy
feeling, sometimes in the ears or on the roof of the mouth, Lang
said. A big symptom that people often don't attribute to allergies
is fatigue, McGrath added.
"Allergies interfere with restful REM sleep, so someone with allergies can sleep eight, nine or even 10 hours and wake up feeling tired, sore and achy. Allergies can really wear people down and decrease their quality of life," said McGrath.
Both experts agreed that many people can be helped by avoiding
pollens that trigger their allergies, and from using
over-the-counter antihistamines. They also recommended beginning
beforesymptoms begin. This gives you a "priming effect,"
said McGrath, and helps keep your allergies from worsening
throughout the season.
Of the three aspects of allergy management -- avoidance,
medication and immunotherapy -- avoidance is probably the most
important, said Lang. So, during pollen season, he recommends
closing your windows and keeping your air conditioners running to
filter the air. "If you keep your windows open, your indoor
environment is just like the outdoors," noted Lang.
This advice holds true for your car too. Close car windows, and
keep the convertible top up.
Also, exercise early or late in the day when pollen counts are
"One thing people overlook is their hair," McGrath said. "The static from your hair attracts pollens and molds. At night, when you lay down, those pollens and molds are released onto your pillowcases. If you can, it's a good idea to wash your hair at night. Otherwise, run a damp cloth over your hair before you get into bed."
If avoidance or over-the-counter antihistamines don't help,
doctors can prescribe nasal steroid sprays or nasal antihistamines,
Lang said. McGrath advised not using over-the-counter decongestants
as they can cause rebound stuffiness.
Both experts said that immunotherapy, also known as allergy
shots, can help people with more severe allergies. But this
treatment takes dedication. It requires at least weekly visits for
six to12 months, followed by a monthly shot for as long as three to
five years.
McGrath said that people shouldn't suffer through their
allergies, as effective treatments are available.

DETROIT - Shhhhhh! It is a secret. Pinterest users are now able to create up to three secret boards. The boards can be made visible to others when the time is right, by switching the "secret" setting from "on" to "off."
If you want to create a new secret board after your three slots are filled up, you'll have to delete one. Pinterest says that it won't count as one of your three boards if you contribute to a friend's Secret Board.
"When you add a pin to a secret board, it won't show up anywhere else on Pinterest—the only place you can see it is on your secret board. Right now, you can't make existing boards secret because others people may have already repinned from your board," said a Pinterest spokesperson.
On the web, there is a Secret Board box at the bottom of a user's profile.
On the latest version of the Pinterest mobile app for iOS and Android, there is a 'create secret board' button inside the boards tab in your profile.
"You can use secret boards to keep track of holiday gifts, plan a special event, or work on a project you aren't yet ready to share with the rest of the world. You can keep your secret boards to yourself or invite family and friends to pin with you," says Pinterest.

Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color Reviews
Not badFor the price, it's definitely a good deal. Nailpolish is something I refuse to spend a lot on, so I'm glad I can get a decent polish for a little more than a dollar. Not a huge color selection, but if you can find one you like, then you're in good shape. — 6 years, 7 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

Didn't like this!I grabbed a simple black and I wasn't impressed. It didn't brush on evenly and it was slightly more thicker than most nail polishes I've used. It chipped off quite quickly too. — 6 years, 6 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Fun colors, decent quality.Not as long lasting as more expensive polishes like OPI or Essie, but decent. Especially for 99 cents! I like the fun colors. The pigmentation is medium-low, so you'll need two or probably three coats. I'll be repurchasing these. — 6 years, 5 months agoLipglossandSpandex | 521 reviews

nicei bought a wet n wild nail polish after many recommendations. i think the quality is very good for such a cheap price. the polishes tend to be sheer, so you have to apply a lot of coats on, which increases chances for creasing or mistakes. — 6 years, 4 months agokenya | 504 reviews

Actually has amazing staying powerI got this nail polish in "teal or no teal," and it is such a fun pretty color. Its quickly becoming one of my favorites. It went on nice and smooth, but you definently need two coats or it looks to runny. I put my essie top coat on after and this polish is actually outlasting most of my others. Its been 4 days and its just barely starting to chip. I'm completely impressed. My polish usually chips the next day, even with a base and top coat! — 6 years, 3 months agoladyboarder9669 | 210 reviews
You get what you pay forThis lacquer is good for the price, but you get what you pay for. I like the colors they come in, but am always disappointed with the formula and quality. This polish always chips on me after a day, can be streaky, and is hard to get to opacity. I would rather save my money and get one good polish for the same price as five or six of these. — 6 years, 1 month agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews

decent for the priceThis is actually not bad at all. Dries pretty fast on nails, goes on smooth. It's not very pigmented, so for good deep color you'll have to do 3 layers. Doesn't chip. Lasts relatively long too for a 1$ nail polish (let's face it, this doesn't happen a lot). The bottle is not too small, the brush is nice, colors are fun. I think I'll check out more shades! — 5 years, 3 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

These workI find that these polishes are excellent, especially for the price. Alone, they are of course not very long- lasting & might not last a week without some chips but applied properly with a good base and top coat, you get a different story. I didn't really see a streaky, dull look to the dried result as some of the other reviewers even when I used it without any base or top coats. The polish itself ...read morewas quite smooth but I found that they do dry out a little faster than other brands I have used. This wasn't much of a problem for me though because I usually go through a bottle rather quickly or I get bored of the color.They offer lots of trendy colors at a really cheap price so you can try a bunch of colors without breaking the bank so you can actually try a right-now color without much commitment. All in all, they're fun & while you might want to invest in polishes that are a beauty staple for you, these are great for trying out trendy colors. — 6 years, 4 months agorunee89 | 299 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

I'd like to try out the whole dye thing, but I'm having some trouble getting started. I live in Sweden and have a hard time finding equivalents to the stuff you guys over there use.
I recall reading a post (cant fint it now...) stating that RIT dye is just a clothes powder dye, so I started looking for equivalents. I tried this one (found it in a local store)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dylon-Machine-D ... y_kh_img_a
but had no luck with it at all. My fingers took well to the color, but the disc (DGA pro plastic) didn't take any at all (even after I increased the color mix to insane proportions).
Anybody got any pointers on what to look for? Or should I just start looking for websites that deliver RIT powder to EU.

Message from the Dean
After serving 28 years in the K-12 education system of Mississippi, it is an honor to be serving education in another capacity as Dean of the School of Education at William Carey University. This is probably the most important time in education in our nation's history as we strive to prepare our students so they can not only compete on a national basis but also globally. To accomplish that, we will have to have quality and innovative teachers graduating and entering the field of education.
One of the many reasons I came to work at Carey was the relationship that I was able to develop with the School of Education as a principal and superintendent for over 17 years. The quality of the Carey education graduates along with the tremendous partnership that the School of Education forged with local school districts made WCU my most valuable resource as a school leader. Having served as an adjunct professor at WCU for over a decade, I also knew that there are many qualified, caring, experienced and talented teachers here who are always willing to be there for their students.
With an enrollment of over 1,000 students, the WCU School of Education is growing to be one of distinction with the many programs and degrees that are available to our undergraduate and graduate students. We currently boast 17 graduate and 9 undergraduate programs and offer a total of 5 online degrees (4 graduate and 1 undergraduate). Our students have also had the opportunity to have international internships in London, South Africa, China and Mexico.
We hope that you will take time to visit us and let us show you in person what a great place William Carey University is and how much we would to serve you as a student in the School of Education.
Dr. Ben Burnett

Don't Fall Into the Gap
When it comes to trading strategies, one of the toughest plays to execute is off an opening gap. When the market opens lower -- as it did Nov. 16, for example -- the move necessitates some patience as you wait to see if or when a bottom is achieved. A gap up, meanwhile, is a tough mental challenge: Do you jump on board and go long as the train is quickly gathering steam, or do you fade it?
These days, market momentum is the great equalizer. If you get on the wrong side, you'll pay the price -- and I myself have had my share of good and bad results. Often when I'm on the right side of a trade, I will use the strength or weakness to unload positions. I will rarely open new swing trades -- though I may do some intraday trading -- as these extreme moves are unlikely to follow through. If, perhaps, there is some continuation, there should be some safe entry points....182 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

By Sen. Paul Gazelka, Guest Columnist
On Thursday afternoon (Nov. 14), President Obama held a press conference at the White House announcing his decision to allow insurance companies to continue canceled health plans for one year, even though they may not meet requirements stated in the Affordable Care Act, (Obamacare). This decision essentially amends a law already enacted and without consent of Congress.
As a result in Minnesota, Gov. Dayton and the Commerce Commissioner will have authority to determine how to proceed in dealing with the Obamacare disaster.
Unfortunately for us, Gov. Dayton believes that President Obama's healthcare decision reversal was the right thing to do for Minnesotans. We must never forget that President Obama lied to the American people and Gov. Dayton is perpetuating this lie to Minnesotans on behalf of the president. President Obama promised that Americans could keep their health plans and doctors if they chose to, but the truth is, we can't. The bottom line is Obamacare is bad public policy for Minnesotans and all Americans. You deserve better.
Each year, Minnesota health insurers undergo a rigorous regulatory process at the Department of Commerce to have their rates and products approved. Health plan products were changed this year to meet Obamacare requirements.
Insurance companies have been planning for more than three years to deal with the impact of this train wreck known as Obamacare. Now, at the last minute, the president wants to give Americans the option to keep policies they have already canceled. We're in the ninth inning and the president thinks he can change the rules of the game.
Let's pretend for a moment that President Obama's proposals will take more than unilateral action. Amending laws must undergo an entire legislative process. All of us have taken basic civics classes in school, and we all know a president cannot unilaterally change the law. Our forefathers created a constitutional republic in America and that must always be honored, cherished and defended.
President Obama and Democrats have made a lot of promises they couldn't keep. They promised lower premiums, but premiums are increasing. They promised you can keep your doctor, but we know that not to be true. They promised you could keep your health insurance; millions of people are losing their health insurance entirely.
So, who is going to be blamed here? At the end of the day, the blame must continue to rest on President Obama and Gov. Dayton who forced Obamacare onto the American people.
Sen. Paul Gazelka represents Minnesota Senate District 9, which includes Morrison County. He can be reached at (651) 296-5774.

When I started to put together a column about the perceived cultural disconnect between the Southside and downtown areas of Santa Fe, I faced some long-held personal opinions that were hard to give up. But when it came time to test these concepts and theories in the area of music and nightlife across the City Different, I honestly believed any feedback I got from community members would reflect these "truths."
What I found, however, was that even though there are volatile issues such as gentrification, seemingly vast socio-economical disparities, an aging population and a whole mess of organizations and private citizens with differing visions and ideas for the future, the problem lies more within the realm of city infrastructure than societal difference.
Local DJ/poet/promoter/all-around champion Joe Ray Sandoval has performed just about anyplace you can imagine in and around Santa Fe for years, and identifies such issues as fewer options compared to years past and differing styles of entertainment based on area.
"People want to go downtown and people want to go to the Southside—people want to go anyplace that has something that aligns with their interests," he says. "There were some venues on the Southside in the past that were pretty cool, but I don't think it's really been known as the area for music in some time and has sort of changed into the area for places like Buffalo Wild Wings or bars for watching sports or fights, whereas the downtown area has nicer hotels and clubs that cater to people looking to walk from where they're staying and have a drink and see live music."
Regardless of venue location, Sandoval points out that safety is a constant concern. With the Capital City Cab monopoly and buses that simply don't run late at night, any club or venue can quickly change from a fun night into a trying mission in getting home alive or not getting arrested. "When it's after 2 am and people have been partying and they're cold and waiting who knows how long for a cab, they just kind of say, 'Fuck it' and decide to drive,"
Sandoval says. "But are you really going to tell me that we can't find people who'd be happy to work a graveyard bus shift or that it's not irritating to wait forever for a cab?" Longtime local musician Mikey Baker expands, "I don't think it's so much a social thing as much as, as musicians we want to go where the money is, where the hotels are, where the tourists are," he says. "There are more people living [on the Southside] who would probably love if there were something worthwhile to do, but club owners are going after the tourist dollars so downtown thrives and sometimes you have to decide from a money standpoint whether it's worth it or even safe to travel to a part of town where you don't live."
Obviously DWI laws should not be more lenient, but looking at the cost and hassle of cabs and a less-than-stellar public transportation system, there are surely steps that could be taken. When I lived in Santa Cruz, Calif., bars had coupons that could be placed on dashboards and said something to the effect of, "I drank too much, I'll get my car at 10 am, please no ticket!" Yes, this would be a blow to parking enforcement revenue, but surely an accident avoided or a life saved more than makes up for that.
Venues citywide also have to work to make it worth the cost of a cab for citizens to react positively. Why take a cab across town for subpar entertainment when you could just as easily stay home. Former Santa Fe resident and frontman of rock/reggae/hip-hop band La Junta, Nick Peña points out that music is often an afterthought for clubs that mainly look for drinkers. "Outside of Santa Fe, when you go to a show or venue there's a stage…a quality sound system, and [venues] take care of the entertainment," he says. "There is definitely a divide in wealth in Santa Fe, but rich or poor, if people want to let loose, they will."
So there's work to be done to unite the city, but it is still cool to learn we don't all hate each other as much as I thought.

LOL at Pacers fans who think this team will still make the playoffs.
It's amazing how different Indiana does, and has operated for a long time versus every other professional sports franchise in the country. Any other fratnchise regardless as to sport, the head coach would be on the hot seat. Frank isn't. Even though his team is playing like ****.
LA fired a far more successful coach already and ours doesn't even have any job security issues to worry about. Amazing.
Holy ****. Seriously.
No heart, no desire, no will. Everyone of them should be ****ing ashamed to put on a Pacers jersey. Even when we sucked in the past, at least they put forth effort, this is down right horrible. I do not want to see 90% of these guys ever wear a Pacers jersey again. I'd rather bring some talentless guy up from the NBDL so long as he puts forth an effort.
Oh, we will. Don't worry.
i'm 12 and wut is this
Guys, it's only the 9th game. Don't panic. The sky is not falling.
****ing Christ.
Only down 14 lol
The good news is that we'll see some solid minutes from Miles Plumlee and Ben Hansbrough tonight.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
still can't shoot
As I said before, anyone who thinks this is just a "rough patch" is kidding themselves lol.
It took 7 mins for MIL to make us struggle
We cant even make ****ing FT's
Only 9 games don't worry they will get it right ......
Sorry, I just refuse to write off this team. Let's see if we can't get back in this thing. It's only seven minutes into the game.
I don't even know what you do. I miss the 8 Seconds Saloon days.
Well, we're only losing by 1 point over twice the points we have scored
Great pass by Jennings wow.

THE marketing manager for a Brierley Hill gaming centre has taken up the challenge to trek 100km across the world's hottest desert.
Phil Gibbs, aged 48, who works for Cashino Gaming, is hoping to raise £3,000 for The Responsible Gambling Trust by embarking on a five day hike across the Sahara later this month.
He will be one of 24 people, representing different sectors of the gambling industry that will travel across sand dunes, barren rocky plateaus, gravel plains, dry valleys and salt flats on March 22.
They aim to collectively raise £50,000 in aid of the charity, which encourages people to gamble responsibly through education and provides treatment services for those with gambling problems.
Mr Gibbs said: "As a company, we are a major supporter of the charity. We want our customers to have a fantastic time with us but we do our utmost to ensure they gamble responsibly.
"I must admit, the prospect of walking for days across the largest desert on the African continent was slightly daunting, especially when I found out how hot it's going to be but it will be worth it if we hit our fundraising target."
He continued: "I hope as many people as possible will help me to reach my goal. I'm going to try my very best, even if I do have to cosy up to a camel."

My favourite IMS teacher sometimes refers to "the sacred" in his talks.
I have understood this to mean "life", or "reality" in some contexts,
(as this is my preferred interpretation), but I might be mistaken.
Does "the sacred" mean anything in Buddhism? Is life sacred?
Or is this a concept more likely to be met within the Mahayana tradition/s..
Sacred - "worthy of or regarded with reverence, awe, or respect" in a religious context.
Might one describe the Buddhadhamma as sacred?
Secular Buddhists would be very uncomfortable with the term, would they not? Perhaps context is all. But sometimes I am a little chary of it

Headley encouraged with progress of broken thumb
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Exactly a week removed from fracturing his left thumb, Padres third baseman Chase Headley said he was encouraged that the swelling he encountered earlier in the week had all but subsided.
"I don't really have any pain, but then again, I'm not allowed to bend it," Headley said.
Headley sustained the injury sliding into second base in a game against the Angels on March 17. After flying back to San Diego to see a hand specialist, it was determined that he had a fracture toward the tip of the thumb and would be on the shelf between four and six weeks, meaning he'll miss Opening Day on April 1.
On Monday, Headley will likely have an X-ray to determine if the fracture is healing. He's expected to have periodic X-ray tests to check the progress of the thumb.
"Generally speaking, the first week, you're not going to see anything, even if it's started to heal. You probably won't for two or three weeks," he said.
So far, Headley hasn't been able to do much.
"They didn't want me to get my heart rate up because of the swelling, but I played catch yesterday -- well, I didn't play catch, I threw. Someone else caught," Headley said. "But tomorrow, we will start to ramp up the activity level."
Headley said he'll start lifting weights, running and possibly riding an exercise bike to increase his level of cardio. He said there's a chance he could take some one-handed swings in the batting cage.

Watch the Rolling Stones record Sympathy for the Devil. There's a lot of magic happening in bedroom project studios these days but I wish more productions were still created like this.
"Sympathy for the Devil is also the title of a producer's edit of a 1968 film by Jean-Luc Godard whose own original version is called One Plus One. The film, a depiction of the late 1960s American counterculture, also featured the Rolling Stones in the process of recording the song in the studio." – DRJVancouver

Attendance begs questions about Cards-Cubs rivalry
CHICAGO -- With roots dating back to the 19th century, the Cardinals-Cubs rivalry has long been considered one of baseball's most famed. But with the Cardinals having developed additional division rivalries and the Cubs in a rebuilding mode, is this rivalry losing some luster?
The Cardinals' two-game series at Wrigley Field drew just 56,515 fans, an average of 28,258 per game. That's substantially below the ballpark's current capacity (41,019) and more than 4,000 fewer than the Cubs' season average through its first 18 home dates.
Wednesday's announced attendance -- which counts tickets sold, not turnstile numbers -- of 26,354 was the lowest for a Cubs-Cardinals game at Wrigley Field since a May 1, 1998, game in which 25,598 tickets were sold.
"I didn't even really notice," said manager Mike Matheny when told of the low attendance. "It always seems to be pretty intense. That was a typical game for me in Chicago -- where it's tight, anything can happen at any moment. That's always been what I expected here and what I'll probably continue to expect here."
The waning attendance is not a new phenomenon. After drawing an average of 41,227 fans to six Cubs-Cardinals games at Wrigley Field in 2008, the average game attendance dropped each of the next four years. Last season, the Cubs averaged 37,324 when the Cardinals were in in town.
It is imperative to note, though, that the drop in series attendance figures does also coincide with an overall decrease in attendance at Wrigley Field since the 2008 season. That's largely explained by the Cubs' performance in recent years, because this is a team that has finished fifth in the division each of the past three seasons.
In the meantime, the Cardinals have seen a pair of other division teams -- the Reds and Brewers -- rise in rivalry status during that time span. That's not to suggest that Cardinals' rivalry with the Cubs is disappearing, but it certainly isn't anywhere near its peak.
"It all comes back to what's been the standing tradition," Matheny said. "And this is a long-standing tradition rivalry compared to the other ones that have been formed."

Pennsylvania health officials have issued a warning after Listeria monocytogenes was found in raw milk products from a dairy in York County.
Officials are urging consumers and retails who purchased raw milk products from Stump Acres Dairy in New Salem, Pa., to discard the products immediately. No illnesses related to the product have been reported.
Stump Acres' permit was revoked by officials in 2007 after Salmonella-contaminated raw milk sickened dozens. Read more here.
Symptoms of Listeriosis usually appear within three weeks after consuming the contaminated products. Pregnant women are especially at risk of the illness. Though the symptoms would be presented as a mild, flu-like illness, Listeriosis during pregnancy can cause miscarriage or stillbirth.
