A republic and member of the Commonwealth, Nigeria is located in West Africa, on the Gulf of Guinea. Area: 923,768 sq km (356,669 sq mi). Pop. (1993 est.): 91,549,000. Cap.: Abuja. Monetary unit: naira, with (Oct. 4, 1993) a free rate of 29.78 naira to U.S. $1 (45.12 naira = £1 sterling). Head of state to Aug. 26, 1993: Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (various titles); interim president from August 26 to November 17, Ernest Shonekan; chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council from November 17, Gen. Sani Abacha.
On Jan. 4, 1993, the Transitional Council and the National Defense and Security Council (NDSC) were inaugurated. They were scheduled to exist until August, when a democratically elected president would assume office. The chairman of the Transitional Council was Chief Ernest Adegunle Shonekan, but real power remained in the hands of Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida as president of the NDSC. On January 5 the National Electoral Commission (NEC) barred all previous presidential candidates and all members of the two disbanded political parties from campaigning for the office, and then the process of screening some 250 presidential candidates began.
At the end of March the Social Democratic Party (SDP) chose Moshood Kashimawo Olawale ("MKO") Abiola as its presidential candidate, and the National Republican Convention (NRC) selected Bashir Othma Tofa. The presidential elections were held as scheduled on June 12, and Abiola clearly emerged as the front-runner. However, an application to the High Court by the Association for a Better Nigeria called for a delay in elections while it filed suit to extend military rule. On June 16 publication of the results was postponed, but two days later the Campaign for Democracy (in Lagos), in defiance of the court order, released what it said were the election results, which gave Abiola an outright win in 19 of the 30 states. On June 23 the NDSC announced that the elections had been annulled "so as to protect our legal system and the judiciary from being ridiculed and politicized both nationally and internationally." The U.S. reacted by describing the annulment as "outrageous," on the grounds that the elections had been seen as free and without serious irregularities, and both the U.S. and Britain then restricted aid to Nigeria. Abiola proclaimed that he was the president of Nigeria and urged the country to back him against the military, while the Campaign for Democracy called for civil disobedience to force the NDSC to rescind its annulment. Babangida, however, issued regulations that banned both Abiola and his rival Tofa from taking part in a new election.
Unrest followed, including a strike in Lagos and a week of civil disobedience, and tanks were called out before order was restored. On July 6 the government issued an ultimatum to the SDP and NRC either to agree to a nonelected interim national government or to face new elections. Both parties agreed to participate in an interim administration, though the SDP insisted that it should be headed by Abiola; he declined on the grounds that it would be no more than military rule by proxy.
On July 16 the NEC announced plans for new elections, but these were abandoned almost at once, and on July 31 President Babangida announced that an interim government would take office on August 27. On August 26 Babangida "stepped down" as president and handed power over to a nonelected interim national government, dominated by handpicked Babangida loyalists, that was to run the country until March 31, 1994. Chief Shonekan was named head of this administration. Meanwhile, many in Nigeria demanded that power be given to Abiola, who, however, on August 4 had fled to London, from where he denounced the new arrangement. Protests and strikes in August brought Lagos and Ibadan to a standstill.
On November 17 the military seized power again, this time in the person of the defense minister, Gen. Sani Abacha. He sent Shonekan packing and disbanded the federal and local governmental institutions established under Babangida, who left for Egypt. Abacha lifted curbs on the media and issued the usual round of promises about moves toward democracy. He established a Provisional Ruling Council, mostly made up of military men but with a few civilians, including one close ally of Abiola. The closest thing Nigeria had to a democratically elected head of state, Abiola was uncharacteristically silent about whether he would cooperate with the new regime. International reaction to the coup was almost uniformly negative, but Nigerians and their politicians were generally philosophical about the prospects for more military rule.

California Jails
By JailCalifornia has a different approach to preventing violence in jail than most other states. Most California county jails separate inmates by race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. The reasoning is that because these three issues are major contributors to jail house violence that by separating the inmates there will be less violent confrontations.
Alameda County Jail
Butte County Jail
Century Regional Detention
Chino State Prison
Contra Costa County Jail
Corcoran State Prison
Delano Prison
El Dorado County Jail

Of course, this is only possible in larger jails since they need to be able to manage these different inmate populations. You are more likely to find this sort of segregation in Los Angeles County Jail, for example, than in Sonoma County Jail.
County jails in California (and across the nation) shouldn't be confused with prisons. Jails are usually run by the county or city while prisons are usually run by the state or federal government. County jails tend to house inmates that are doing less than a year and have been charged with misdemeanors whereas prisons tend to house inmates who are doing multi-year stints (sometimes even life) and have been convicted of much more serious felonies.
Many jails in California are dealing with serious overcrowding issues. As an officer in the jail this presents a lot of problems such as increased inmate violence. It creates opportunities for the inmates, however, who tend to serve shorter sentences than they would otherwise. In LA County Jail, for instance, inmates report that they generally serve about 10% of their sentence because of the overcrowding issues (note that they still spend quite a bit of time on probation).

The last angry hippie unleashes another hard-edged set
Reviewer's Bias*
The Show
Then something happened.
Perhaps it was simply age. Perhaps it was his addictions. Most likely, it was the loss of his wife of 34 years. No matter the reason, Carlin's shows, which are much rarer these days, became darker and less "fun." Carlin remains funny, but it's not the kind of funny that grows from the goofy things in life. It's the kind of funny yhat makes you laugh because otherwise you'd have to cry. There's no longer a look at the strange language of the airport or a comparison of baseball and football.
In their place, in this show, his first in four years and first since rehab, are lighthearted topics like suicide, the collapse of civilization and the hopeless masses. There are times during his show where the audience is practically silent, as Carlin depresses them with reality. Smart? Absolutely. Funny? Depends on your definition.
At some points in this set, Carlin's technique is amazing, especially during the opening beat-style poem "A Modern Man," which features wordy lyrics that would tongue-tie The Barenaked Ladies. But if you listen to the words, they are essentially meaningless. Some of Carlin's best bits over the years have been about examining the meanings of words, but here he just spits out an impressive stream of buzz words without much context. Carlin's good at these lists, as he shows later with the pyramid of the hopeless and dumb-Americans segments, but there, they mean something.
There are still some vestiges of the old George sprinkled throughout the show, especially in the sections about autoerotic asphyxia and posthumous female transplants. These moments serve as welcome respites from the black comedy, which is needed just before the avalanche that is the final two segments. Starting with people you live in the path of regular natural disasters, a shocker following shortly after Hurricane Katrina, Carlin paints an extraordinary picture of the destruction and rebirth of the universe as only he can. It's a philosophical, introspective finale his fans have come to expect from him, and it brings hope that another "Jammin' in New York" is still in him.

The Ghana Revenue Authority says there are no immediate plans to revise the current tax threshold which stands at 120 000 Ghana Cedis.
The threshold is the amount of taxable sales that qualifies one to register for Value Added Tax. The current figure at the time of proposal corresponded to the international threshold of 100 000 dollars. However with the depreciation of the cedi, there have been speculations there could an amendment.
Francis Ocran of the GRA's Policy and Programme Department told JOY BUSINESS at the SME Clinic organised by Union Savings and Loans that, any amendment should come from tax policy unit of the Ministry of Finance.
"Our concern is not with the amendment of the threshold. Our concern is with implementing the new additions like the tax on financial Services and real estate", he said.
Union Savings and Loans Limited, one of the oldest savings and loans companies in Ghana introduced its Small and Medium Scale Enterprise (SME) Clinic in June this year.
The new service is a management capacity building programme aimed at offering business solutions towards advancing the growth of SME's to help accelerate the country's development.
The regular formal classroom training session is held on a monthly basis at a specially built center at the premises of Unions Savings and Loans.
The training programme is facilitated by the Union's internal managers, experts from partner institutions and when necessary, external consultants.

Flynn starting for Packers at QB vs Falcons
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The Green Bay Packers will have to try to win their first game in more than a month without Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers (0-4-1) have ruled out their star quarterback for the game Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Rodgers hasn't played since he suffered a collarbone injury early in Green Bay's 27-20 loss to Chicago on Nov. 4.
The Packers spent the week preparing Matt Flynn to make a second straight start at quarterback.

FBI agents are trying to identify a man who has robbed two North County banks in less than a month.
Named the "Freeway Bank Bandit" because both targets were near freeways, the thief stands in line with other customers and then hands a teller a note demanding cash, said Special Agent Jan Caldwell, FBI spokeswoman.
The Bank of America in Albertson's supermarket at 4150 Oceanside Blvd. in Oceanside was hit Aug. 29.
The second robbery was Sept. 10 at First National Bank at 2602 El Camino Real in Carlsbad.
Another serial bank robber is also working North County, said Caldwell. Nicknamed the "Fake Tan Bandit," he has hit three banks in Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista.
So far there have been 96 bank robberies this year in San Diego County, 22 of them in North County.
Witnesses have described the Freeway Bank Bandit as white, about 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds with green eyes, a moustache and goatee. He has worn a baseball cap, T-shirt and blue jeans.
The FBI is asking anyone with information to call the San Diego Bank Robbery Task Force at (858) 565-1255 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-TIPS.

Helen Harkness, Ph.D. / Career Catalyst
The work of Dr. Harkness through Career Design directly reflects and integrates her own multidimensional career. She is a successful entrepreneur in business and investments, a former academic dean/provost, college professor and director of human services.
Author of articles on career management and organizational effectiveness, her first book, The Career Chase: Taking Creative Control In A Chaotic Age (1997), explores the myths of contemporary work life that steer careers and organizations off course. The book focuses on the new realities and changes to be faced in the 21st century, and strategies for discovering opportunities despite the chaos.
Don't Stop the Career Clock: Rejecting the Myths of Aging for a New Way To Work in the 21st Century(1999), blasts the negative beliefs and stereotypes of aging currently pervasive in our culture, shattering the myth that growing older automatically spells physical, mental, creative, and psychological decline.
Capitalizing on Career Chaos: Bringing Creativity and Purpose to Your Work and Life (2005) Whether due to offshoring, bankruptcy, the quest for global competitiveness or some other cause, chaos in organizations is real and radical, and can create fear and uncertainty in the heart of even the most savvy and confident employee. Utilizing the steps of Looking inward, outward, forward, and beyond – and with a planned course of action – Capitalizing on Career Chaos delivers the tools and strategies to become an authentic, trailblazing pioneer who can thrive in this age of unprecedented change.
As a futurist, Dr. Harkness has presented at the World Future Society and coordinated the career counseling for the conferences. In early 1989, Dr. Harkness's individual and organizational CDA clients founded The Pathfinders for the Future Think Tank, which explores, researches and forecasts current trends and future possibilities as they relate to the workplace. The CDA career library includes more than 650 career videotapes for clients to check out.
Dr. Harkness has written and produced an educational 8-tape series, "Careers in Finance," and "Discovering Your Career Options," featuring Dr. John Holland, author of the Self-Directed Search. The Career Design Profile™, a special career assessment package with eight career inventories to identify specific careers based on values, motivation, interests, skills, entrepreneurial traits and temperament is available through CDA.
She teaches popular continuing education courses at Southern Methodist University: including "Re-Careering: The Search for Meaning, Money, Creativity and Control", Career Options for Teachers", and "Running from the Law". She taught courses for over ten years at Fun-Ed (now defunct), including "Making Your Career Change," "Using the Myers-Briggs — the Key to Understand Yourself and Others," and "Best Jobs for the Future," and currently offers Redesign Your Career, a 6-hour 2-night course at her offices in Garland.

Cannibis Potency
- Death Weed refers to extremely potent Cannabis. This term walks the thin line between having its own distinct meaning in trade jargon and being a slang term for stuff thats even more killer than The Kill.
- The Kill also refers to highly potent Cannabis, though not necessarily as potent as The Death Weed.
- Chronic refers to Cannabis which is highly potent but not unusually so. In other words, the highest quality one can find on a semi-regular basis for roughly the same cost as mid-grade Cannabis. In many regional jargons this term is given a more specific meaning, however these are far too numerous to list here.
- Bud simply refers to the buds of the Cannabis plant. Bud may be high or low quality depending on several factors. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana leaves are usually not smoked (unless covered in resin from nearby buds, though such leaves are usually used for hashish production), rather it is actually the buds which are smoked. The buds of unpollinated female plants are preferred because these plants will focus their energy on resin production in order to catch pollen from the male plants (this resin is the only part of the plant which contains any usuable quantities of psychoactive chemicals).
- Shake is specifically the debri that shakes loose from brick or bagged marijuana. While it can have high potency, it is generaly considered less desireable as its dust-like properties make it difficult to smoke.
- Kind (a.k.a. kind bud or simply kb) refers to sinsemilla (from Spanish, meaning without seed) marijuana, i.e. unpollinated female marijuana plants. This is an important distinction between high-quality marijuana and schwag because schwag (also referred to as commercial weed or more often simply merch (pronounced mersh)) is almost always pollinated female marijuana and can be easily recognized by the many seeds present in the bud (or loose in the bag, see bagseed). Pollination is chiefly responsible for the lowering of potency because of reduced resin production, though genetics and post-harvest methods play a small role. All highly potent marijuana is kind, though not all kind is necessarily highly potent.
- Schwag refers to low-quality bud. Often dry and brownish in color rather than lush and green (however, looks can be deceiving). This is also called brown frown.
- Dirt Weed often refers to brown, withered looking buds which are usually impotent, although potent dirt weed is not completely unheard of. This term is seldom used synonymously with outdoor (see below).
- Dank often very good nuggets, normally flourescent green with protruding white crystals, smells like skunk.

EZ-SMT Board Sockets are a much cheaper alternative to turned contact PCB sockets for less demanding applications, and in common with all EZ-BoardWare products, are designed for automated production processes, so they withstand surface mount assembly and come in standard tape and reel packaging.
It's important to choose the correct device to match the application. Harsh operating conditions may mean that turned sockets are required; however the EZ-SMT Board Sockets meet most requirements at a fraction of the cost.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is going to be a mommy again.
The Crazy Heart star and actor-hubby Peter Sarsgaard are in extra good cheer this holiday season as she's pregnant with their second bundle of joy.
"Yes, she and her husband are expecting," Maggie's publicist confirms to E! News.
Life & Style quoted a pal of Gyllenhaal as saying the 34-year-old thesp let the cat out of the bag over Thanksgiving weekend, telling friends "she's six months pregnant."
"Her bump is so big!" the insider told the magazine.
It wasn't entirely a surprise considering Gyllenhaal was spotted with what looked like a noticeable baby bump at the Oct. 28 Rome Film Festival premiere of her new Victorian-era romantic comedy, Hysteria.
The Brooklyn-based couple (both with two a's in their last name, to boot), who also have a 5-year-old daughter, Ramona, had reportedly been wanting another tot for some time and are said to be thrilled by the news—as is Maggie's brother, Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Jake is so happy that she's pregnant against because he loves kids," the friend told the magazine. "Maggie's said that he's the best uncle and has done a lot of sweet things for her first child."
Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard began dating in 2002 and tied the knot in 2009.

Moadamiyet al-Sham, a besieged town southwest of Syria's capital, has been under a devastating regime siege since early 2013.
Around 620 opposition fighters and their families on Wednesday began evacuating Moadamiyet al-Sham, a besieged town southwest of the Syrian capital, under a deal with the regime, a local official said.
Moadamiyet al-Sham has been under a devastating regime siege since early 2013 as a result of a civil war in Syria. More than 400,000 people have been killed since Syria's conflict erupted in March 2011, according to an estimate by the UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura.
"The buses of rebels have begun moving," said Hassan Ghandour, a member of the local committee overseeing the deal in Moadamiyat al-Sham.
Ghandour said the buses took opposition fighters and their family members to the opposition-held Idlib province, in northwestern Syria.
The Syrian regime has struck such local deals with opposition fighters before.
Another member of the local reconciliation committee who spoke to AFP on the condition of anonymity said the total number of evacuees stood at 2,100.
Any remaining opposition fighters who hand themselves over to the Syrian regime will "have their status regularised," the member said.

Karabakh speaker talks about peace process to German experts
YEREVAN, April 3. /ARKA/. The speaker-headed delegation of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) is now in Berlin with a working visit, the parliament press office reported.
The delegation comprised of the speaker Ashot Ghulyan, deputy foreign minister Felix Khachatryan and NKR's resident representative to Germany Harutiun Grigoryan visited the House of Johannes Lepsius in Potsdam and met with the director of the museum Rolf Hosfeld.
Hosfeld briefed the delegation on objectives of the House and collection of facts about the genocide of Armenians and efforts made by Lepsius to inform the German and the global community about the atrocities.
NKR's speaker talked with Hosfeld about further cooperation with the museum.
Later the head of Karabakh parliament made a report entitled "Nagorno-Karabakh: expectations, concerns and prospects" at an event on Karabakh's role in development of the South Caucasus held in the European Academy in Berlin.
Ghulyan talked about the current status of the Karabakh peace process and said laying foundation for peaceful co-existence of two states, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijani Republic, is the shortest way to long-term peace.
Among other speakers at the event were ex-deputy of Bundestag Wolfgang Biornze, representative of the Science and Politics Foundation Doctor Uve Halbah and Professor of Law at Hamburg University Otto Luchterhandt. The event was attended also by Armenia's ambassador to Germany Vahan Hovhannisyan.
Experts provided their view of Karabakh's right to self-determination, mediators' efforts in peace process, regional development prospects and other issues. –0—

PHOENIX — A.J. Griffin hasn't changed much about the way he throws from last year to this.
The mental part of the game, though — that's changing.
Griffin led the major leagues by giving up 36 home runs last year. Toward the end of the season, it was all anybody, particularly the media, wanted to talk about.
They didn't want to talk about his excellent .226 batting average against, 30 points under the league average. They wanted to talk about all those bombs. Griffin now says he bought into it.
And that was a mistake.
"I put too much thought into those questions," Griffin said Saturday as the team went through its annual photo day. "I should have tuned it out, but I didn't.
"All that talk made me think about it, and that was a mistake."
Griffin was the toughest of the A's regular starting pitchers to get a hit against. He led the team with a career-best 200 innings. His ERA of 3.83, while up from his rookie mark of 3.06, was under the median of A.L. pitchers.
And his total of 14 wins is the most any member of the 2014 staff had last year.
So pardon Griffin if he doesn't feel like changing the way he pitches and focuses instead on the mental part of the game.
"I learned from my struggles last year," he said. "I've been pretty good at executing pitches. What got me in trouble was that one time or two times a game a ball would go out. I've always been focused when I'm pitching. But I've got to be ultra-focused.
"It's not like I was giving away pitches before. But I have to make sure that I don't give anything away. Then the home runs will take care of themselves."
Manager Bob Melvin said while Griffin, 26, did have issues with homers, it's the other statistics, particularly the win total and the innings pitched total, that need to looked at.
"At the end of the day, he's a good starting pitcher," Melvin said. "The one blip was the home runs. But he realizes why they happened.
"His mindset has to be that he's not a guy who gives up homers. If he gets there, he won't. They can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's like a hitter who goes 0 for 15. Getting back on track just becomes harder as you go along."
Having the stats sheets zeroed out at the beginning of the season gives a chance for a fresh start. And Griffin will take full advantage to get back to full enjoyment of the game he loves.
"I do love baseball," he said. "But it takes focus to play the game and patience to see it through. You have to have dedication to love it."
For more on the A's, see John Hickey's Insider at blogs.ibabuzz.com/athletics. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/JHickey3.
Despite allowing a major-league-high 36 home runs last season, A.J. Griffin was one of the A's most consistent starters. Here's a look at the 2013 statistics for the returning and acquired A's starting pitchers:
Pitcher W L ERA
Sonny Gray 5 3 2.67
A.J. Griffin 14 10 3.83
Dan Straily 10 8 3.96
Jarrod Parker 12 8 3.97

Washout weather: Keep your brollies up...its going to be WET WET WET
BRITAIN'S washout end to spring will make way for blue skies and sunshine as summer kicks off at the weekend.
Temperatures are set to climb back into the 70s by Sunday with plenty of golden rays and warmth on the way for many.
The cheery forecast comes as Britons endure another day of grey skies and rain as May comes to a wet and miserable end.
Sunday marks the official start of summer so the sunny predictions will be a welcome relief. However, more rain is on the way before then with an inch likely in a matter of hours in some regions today and tomorrow.
It is still warmer than average for the time of year.
The Met Office last night issued a severe rain warning across eastern parts today and the Environment Agency issued 10 flood alerts in regions where groundwater and river levels are still high from winter flooding.
Meteorologist Alexander Burkill said much of the UK should prepare for heavy showers.
He said: "We have a warning over Yorkshire and could see more than 30mm (1.2in) in some places which could cause flooding from rivers and some surface water flooding.
"It is showery through the week and on Friday there are outbreaks of rain although it is turning largely dry and temperatures will be higher.
"It is still warmer than average for the time of year."
Punters aren't convinced by the sunny forecasts and bookies have slashed the odds on Britain getting the wettest summer ever.
Nicola McGeady of Coral said: "The grim weather reports have led to a flood of bets on more bad weather and the odds suggest that the hot weather is just a memory."
But Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services, said temperatures will ramp back up into the 70s next week.

This is an old subject here at Natural News because reader's are very educated on nutrition. However, my patient base isn't quite on to the basics and unfortunately, here in Indiana, many don't even know what GMO means. They certainly aren't aware of the dangers of Monsanto and big pharma!!! I encourage you to share this with family, friends and those not as savvy in the field. Any little bit of information can help!!!
WHAT is a GMO?????
What is a GMO?
A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the product of a lab process that takes genes from on species and inserts them into another species to attain a desired trait. Viruses or bacteria are used to infect animal or plant cells with the new DNA. The DNA is coated with tiny metal pellets and shot into the cells. Then, the new DNA is injected into fertilized eggs and electric shocks create holes in the membranes of sperm forcing the new DNA into the holes. Although, no research on humans has shown detrimental effects from eating GMO foods, numerous studies on animals have shown immune damage, pre-cancerous cell growth and many unexplained anomalies.
For more information on the history of GMO's visit HERE
Here are the top 8 GMO foods to avoid
1. CORN– corn is the most prominent genetically modified crop here in the US. Please know your farmer if you want good fresh sweet corn–and ask what type of seeds he uses. Local farmer's markets rock!!!
2. SOY–90% of soy is genetically engineered to be resistant to Monsanto's Roundup.
3. SUGAR–since 2009, genetically modified beets have been used to make beet sugar.
4. ASPARTAME -not only is one of those toxic food additives, it is actually made from genetically modified bacteria.
5. PAPAYAS—yep, this wonderful fruit is exported here from Hawaii since 1999 and is genetically modified to be resistant to the Ringspot virus. They are banned in all European countries.
6. CANOLA– canola is made from rapeseed which is one of the most chemically modified and adapted oils.
7. DAIRY– 1/5 of all dairy cows are injected with rBGA growth hormone from Monsanto—Drink organic or plant-based. Remember that 93% of all soy is GMO— Silk Brand Soy milk is non-GMO.
8. ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH– most are genetically modified to resist viruses.
Luckily, Connecticut and Maine have recently passed laws requiring manufacturers to label all products with Genetically Engineered ingredients.
4 Tips to avoiding GMO
1. Buy organic–labels saying 100% organic or made with organic ingredients
2. Buy Non GMO–labels saying "artificial hormone free"
3. Avoid high risk ingredients–corn, soybean, canola, cottonseed, sugar beets, corn syrup
4. Download shopping guide and get the app "ShopNoGMO"—a great app with plenty of good information and specific products to avoid.

BuzzSugar's Top Albums of 2006: Part III
BuzzSugar's Top Albums of 2006: Part III
Not every year can be a great year for music, and 2006 was just okay. It didn't help that this year was sandwiched between 2005—which gave us great albums by Kanye West, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Sufjan Stevens—and 2007, which promises new releases from Wilco, Arcade Fire, and Timbaland. While choosing my Top 10 for the year was a cinch, coming up with the bottom 10 was tough.
Thankfully, I managed to scour enough of the year's music to bring you this four-part series, BuzzSugar's Top 20 Albums of 2006. Now for Part III: albums 6 to 10. (Read yesterday's installment on albums 11 to 15.)
10. Justin Timberlake, FutureSex/LoveSounds
Personally, I don't find Justin Timberlake the slightest bit attractive, but like Prince before him, JT somehow manages to embody sex in musical form. On FutureSex/LoveSound, his boyish vocals collide with the oozing electronica and throbbing keyboard rhythms in a way that just makes you feel dirty — particularly on the unsterilized album versions. From the banjo- and string-laden "What Goes Around" to the groaning masterpiece that is "Sexy Back," Timberlake and his production team have crafted a record impossible not to dance to.
9. The Pipettes, We Are the Pipettes
Admittedly, the Pipettes are a gimmicky band, but the British trio's debut is easily my favorite pure-fun album of the year. The band's quirky, carousing songs owe a great deal to Phil Spector's 1960s girl-group sound, but the swinging strings and edgy British-accented vocal harmonies also lean toward 1990s riot-grrl rock. This may not be an album you hand down as a family heirloom, but it was the perfect party album to get me through the summer of 2006.
To see the rest,
8. Yo La Tengo, I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
In addition to having the greatest album title of 2006, Yo La Tengo's newest release returns the veteran indie rockers to their former glory, after 2003's lackluster Summer Sun. With the shredding exploration that is the album opener, "Pass the Hatchet, I think I'm Goodkind," the New Jersey critical darlings remind us that they can rock, and rock hard. But this CD also has all of the high points you expect from a YLT album, including demure, folksy ballads ("Black Flowers") and charming doo-wop ("Mr. Tough").
7. Drive-By Truckers, A Blessing and a Curse
This album isn't the best of the Drive-By Truckers' discography, but on A Blessing and a Curse, the Alabama rock quintet shows its range like never before. Using its standard three-guitar attack, the DBT proves it still has some of the best three songwriters in rock, alternating between exquisite arena rock on "Daylight" and Southern-rock sass on "Gravity's Gone," which boasts some of the year's best lyrics: "She woke up sunny-side down and I's still thinking I was too proud to flip her over."
6. Islands, Return to the Sea
With his former band, The Unicorns, Islands frontman Nick Diamonds was more concerned with being silly than breaking ground. So when he forged such a bizarrely new sound on Return to the Sea, it was a complete and utter surprise. A rock band with a slightly psychedelic bent, Islands manages to veer from slow-building theatrical ballads to high-speed hip-hop while still crafting a highly cohesive and addictive sound.

WIMBLEDON, England -- Reigning champion Rafael Nadal and two- time semifinalist Andy Murray were a pair of first-round winners on a rainy opening day at Wimbledon.
Also, Canadian phenom Milos Raonic, seeded No. 31 and making his Wimbledon debut, advanced after defeating first-round opponent Marc Gicquel 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.
The top-ranked Spanish superstar Nadal waltzed past American journeyman Michael Russell 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in just under two hours in the first match Monday on the famed Centre Court at the venerable All England Club. Nadal rallied from a slow start to tally 35 winners, compared to 14 for Russell, and pile up seven service breaks, compared to only two for the American loser.
Nadal overcame a break and 2-4 deficit in the first set by winning six straight games for a first-set win and a 2-0 lead in the second. The 10-time Grand Slam champion cruised from there.
"I started so-so in the first set, but after that I start to hit very well the forehand and I think I finished playing a very good level," said Nadal, who has now won his last 15 matches here.
Nadal's parents, Sebastian and Ana Maria, watched their son from the Royal Box on Monday.
"Too many beautiful things to see my mom and my dad in the Royal Box," Nadal said. "I think for them (it) was a great experience. So, everything in general was very, very nice today."
The mighty Nadal is the reigning Wimbledon, French Open and U.S. Open champion and captured Wimbledon in his last two trips here. He was the 2008 winner after beating Roger Federer in the final in one of the greatest tennis matches of all-time, skipped the 2009 edition due to injury, and beat big Czech Tomas Berdych in last year's title tilt on the famed grass at the AEC.
Up next for Nadal will be another American -- Ryan Sweeting.
The fourth-seeded Murray got off to a rocky start in the first set before recovering for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 victory over Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver under the roof at Centre Court.
Following a tight start, Murray flattened Gimeno-Traver over the final three sets, including wins in the final 15 games of the match. The British star swatted 12 aces and broke his Spanish counterpart seven times in the two-hour, six-minute affair.
Murray is a three-time major runner-up, including this year at the Australian Open. The Scottish native is attempting to give Britain its first male Wimbledon champion in 75 years.
The 24-year-old Murray now awaits the Tobias Kamke-Blaz Kavcic winner.
A sixth-seeded Berdych improved to 7-1 in his last eight matches at the All England Club with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 pasting of helpless Italian Filippo Volandri. The mismatch was over in 1 hour, 34 minutes.
Berdych will face Frenchman Julien Benneteau in his next outing.
Meanwhile, ninth-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils beat German Matthias Bachinger 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 and 10th-seeded American Mardy Fish reached the second round with a 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 victory over Spaniard Marcel Granollers. Fish will encounter Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin in the second round.
In other action involving top-20 seeds, No. 14 Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka handled Italian Potito Starace 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 and No. 17 Frenchman Richard Gasquet got past Colombian Santiago Giraldo 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).
German veteran Rainer Schuettler drove out No. 30 Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil in straight sets.
Continuing his comeback from injury, German Tommy Haas succumbed to Luxembourg's Gilles Muller in four sets. The former top-five star and 2009 Wimbledon semifinalist Haas is now 0-3 this season.
Several other men moved on, including Istomin, Sweeting, his fellow American Alex Bogomolov Jr., Benneteau, Israeli Dudi Sela, and Spaniard Feliciano Lopez. Sweeting outlasted Spaniard Pablo Andujar 3-6, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-1), 6-1, while Bogomolov Jr. topped compatriot Donald Young 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Rain started to fall just after 5:00 pm local time and wreaked havoc on the Day-1 schedule, as 13 men's matches were either suspended or postponed because of wet weather.
Eighth-seeded American Andy Roddick was getting ready to face German Andreas Beck before rain pushed their bout into Tuesday. The former world No. 1 and former U.S. Open champion Roddick is a three-time Wimbledon runner-up to the incredible six-time Wimbledon champion Federer.
Roddick is a perfect 10-0 in his career first-round matches at the All England Club.
A match between 24th-seeded former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro and Italian Flavio Cipolla was suspended, with the former world No. 4 Argentine leading 6-1, 1-3.
The bottom half of the men's draw will see action here on Tuesday, including matches for second-seeded Aussie Open champion Novak Djokovic, a third-seeded Federer and fifth-seeded Swedish slugger Robin Soderling.
Djokovic is an amazing 41-0 this year, including seven titles. His only loss came against Federer in the French Open semifinals three weeks ago. The Serbian star will face France's Jeremy Chardy in the round of 128.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion Federer will open his 2011 Wimbledon stay against Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin, while the two-time French Open runner- up Soderling will tangle with capable German Philipp Petzschner.
Federer is trying to become only the second man in the Open Era (since 1968) to capture a seventh Wimbledon title. American legend Pete Sampras holds the record.
Also on the Day-2 schedule is a rematch of last year's first-round odyssey between American John Isner and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut. Several records, including the longest-ever tennis match, were set in their 11-hour, 5-minute epic that played out over three days before Isner finally prevailed in five sets, including a monumental 138-game (70-68) fifth.
Isner outlasted Mahut on Court 18 last year. This year's rematch will be staged on a bigger court -- Court 3.
The 2011 Wimbledon champ will pocket $1.78 million.

The anticipated Strikeforce welterweight bout between Robbie Lawler and Jake Shields will take place on June 6th in St. Louis, according to Matt Hughes, not May 16th in Tacoma, Washington as previously rumored.
"Just found out a few days ago that Robbie Lawler will fight Jake Shields on the Strikeforce card on June 6th, in St. Louis," wrote Hughes. "It's great to have Robbie fight that close to home. We were worried that he would fight in the month of May close to my fight, so it actually turns out to be a pretty good schedule. As always, Robbie's a performer and puts on fights that people want to see."

When will people learn that public marriage proposals are never a good idea, unless you're positively certain the answer is going to be 'yes'?
Earlier this month, we saw one awkward public proposal at a baseball game go wrong when the girlfriend rejected her suitor's request and stormed off the field. Now in a recent viral video, another couple is in the spotlight for a cringe worthy public proposal that left the man not only with a broken heart, but a painful headache after his girlfriend struck him in the head with a ukelele. Ouch.
While inside a Dubai mall, the man gathers a large crowd of spectators to watch his special message to his girlfriend, but just after he gets down on one knee to propose, the girl tries to stop him, but to no avail. That's when she snatches a ukelele from one of the musician's playing in the background and hits the man on the head and walks away leaving him stunned.
Of course there are plenty of red flags in the video that raises speculation of it all being a stunt. For one, the man quotes the famous Jerry McGuire line "you had me at hello" and the line "When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while" from Bruno Mars' hit song "Just The Way You Are."
Secondly, an ill-timed mall train interrupts the man's proposal midway and displays an advertisement from a gourmet chocolate company with the message that reads "Not So Sweet."
So what do you think? Is this marriage proposal fail real or fake? Watch the video below and decide!
