Benjamin Netanyahu
February 20, 2012 by staff
Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Barack Obama will host a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on March 5, the White House said on Monday, a session that will likely center on the West's efforts to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions.
A White House statement rounding up the recent Israel visit by Obama's National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, which announced the date for the upcoming meeting, indicated that the top advisor discussed the "full range of security issues of mutual concern" during his meetings with Israeli leadership.
"The visit is part of the continuous and intensive dialogue between the United States and Israel and reflects our unshakeable commitment to Israel's security," the statement added.
Donilon's visit, as well as the planned Netanyahu-Obama meeting, came at a time of intense speculation concerning the possibility that Israel may initiate a strike against Iran's nuclear weapons over its fears the Islamic Republic is progressing toward nuclear weapons capability.
On Sunday, U.S. joint chiefs of staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey and British Foreign Minister William Hague warned against an Israeli attack on Iran, citing the grave consequences for the entire region.
In an interview broadcast on CNN, Dempsey said Israel has the capability to strike Iran and delay the Iranians "probably for a couple of years. But some of the targets are probably beyond their reach."

The Conservation Fund, in partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), completed the purchase of 4,265 acres of private land located within the borders of Petrified Forest National Park on Jan. 31.
Known as the McCauley Ranch, the newly purchased land lies east of the historic remains of Puerco Pueblo and will connect lands already protected within the park.
According to the Conservation Fund press release, the protection of the land will preserve the natural views that visitors experience as they drive on the main road through the park, enhance protection for the area's Late Triassic resources and eventually expand opportunities for new scientific discoveries.
The Conservation Fund will temporarily hold and protect the land until it can be purchased and transferred to the National Park Service later this year.
According to the Conservation Fund, the NPCA made a "substantial contribution" toward the purchase. The two conservation entities have been working as partners for the past 10 years.
National Park Service Director Jonathon Jarvis said the purchase was an important step toward fulfilling the Petrified Forest Expansion Act of 2004.
"This is another important milestone in the National Park Service's joint effort with our partners to protect the rich, natural and cultural landscape in and around Petrified Forest," said Jarvis. "This expansion of Petri-fied Forest's boundaries will increase our knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Arizona's Painted Desert environment, and its archeological and fossil wonders."
In 2011 the Conservation Fund helped the National Park Service expand the park ownership by nearly 25 percent with the protection and addition of 26,000 acres that are considered by park scientists to be full of potential paleontological and archeological discoveries. The 2011 purchases were made possible through the use of congressionally approved funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), a federal land protection program that receives a percentage of the proceeds from offshore oil and gas royalties. The Na-tional Park Service plans to use additional LWCF monies along with a substantial private donation to complete the purchase of the McCauley Ranch lands.
Kevin Dahl, Arizona program manager for the NPCA, said a generous donor who wished to remain anonymous helped the two conservation groups to make the purchase.
"This acquisition is great news for both Petrified Forest National Park and the people who cherish it as a special and unique place," said Dahl.

i miss seeing this on my tv before the game :(
It's not just the withdrawl, but the uncertainty...
Should I get pumped for a more competitive season that hopes to sniff the playoffs, or should I prepare myself for a tank/rebuild?
Should I be excited at the prospect of another major deal to land a star/quasi-star to improve the team in the here and now, or should I be prepared to see a fan favorite traded with the future in mind?
I think I'll have this sense of nervousness, excitement and impending dread until mid-season... Ujiri you devil!
I just want to know what Ujiri is planning next.
By the way I'm buying vpn from StrongVPN.
Aha neat ... well over here in Europe I hope they don't give a damn and they shouldn't so I'll give it a shot .. but I do have a personally installed OpenVPN
Thx though
i was dying to listen to it brought back so many memories :')
Also keep in mind that Google removed more than 50 mil piracy/torrent links in 2012.. while this year it's already passed 100 mil mark.
Every Google algorithm change will delete 3-5 mil links. ( that's in a week )
Better get accounts in private trackers while it's open for registration or invitation-only. In the future we all will need to pay some kind subscription to trackers to download piracy.

They built full-on practical spaceship sets for InterstellarJust like he has been doing for all of his films up to this point in his career, Christopher Nolan is trying to keep Interstellar as much as a mystery as he can, and while he wouldn't reveal any big plot details during the luncheon, he did provide some interesting tidbits about the production. The filmmaker discussed his preference to use large-scale practical sets instead of large amounts of CG for the space epic, and part of that involved not just the building of a spaceship interior, but also special exteriors that actors could see by looking out of the windows of the spaceship set. He believes that audiences can sense when things are actually there instead of just being all computer generated, and even likened the filmmaking experience on the set to making a documentary.

WASHINGTON — Following a Department of Justice lawsuit and a court-ordered appointment of a special master, a federal court ruled from the bench yesterday that Alabama is now in compliance with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). The judge noted that Alabama had made remarkable progress in the 14 months following the appointment of the special master. The judge's comments followed testimony that Alabama had become HAVA-compliant in record time.
The Department filed suit against the state of Alabama on May 1, 2006, alleging violations of HAVA. The government's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama (Northern Division) in Montgomery, alleged that the state failed to create and implement a statewide computerized voter registration database, which is required by HAVA.
On June 7, 2006, the court granted the Department's motion for preliminary injunction, finding that the state was in violation of HAVA, and ordered the state to come into compliance with HAVA. Following the secretary of state's reluctance to commit to the achievement of HAVA compliance within the court's specified time frame, the court appointed a special master. As a result of the court's action in response to the Department's lawsuit, the state of Alabama has finally become HAVA-compliant.
"We are pleased that Alabama has taken the necessary measures to implement the required database," said Rena Comisac, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "The voters of Alabama will benefit from the state's compliance."

Logistics competence is an increasingly important competitive factor even for small companies as the life cycles of goods and services become shorter. Logistics refers to the control and management of a company's material, information and money flows. Logistics includes
- procurement (raw materials, semi-finished products, end products, services etc.)
- production
- storage
- distribution
- transport
- forwarding
- goods handling, such as packing
- recycling of raw materials and materials for reuse.
Logistics costs include:
- transport and packaging costs
- storage costs
- capital tied up in storage
- administrative costs.
Internationally compared, logistics costs in Finland are high due to the long distances; according to a survey by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, they form up to 16% of the net sales of micro businesses. Costs vary by line of business and also depend on the service level sought by the company. The significance of logistics is especially emphasised in industry and trade.
The share of procurement in a company's net sales can be up to 70–75 per cent. In procurement, other factors besides the purchase price should also be considered, such as the purchased product's delivery time, delivery reliability and quality. It can involve a one-off purchase, project procurement or long-term procurement cooperation, such as subcontracting.
The way that storage should be arranged in your company and the scope of the preferred stock depend on your company's line of business, business model and goals. More should be gained from storing that without it. Expenses caused by storage include capital costs, insurance premiums and costs induced by the storage space, such as rents.
The significance of distribution has increased with e-commerce, as smaller shipments are made than before and at an increasing pace. Transport is required for transfer of raw material to production, the delivery of finished products to retail as well for waste treatment and transportation.
Choice of transportation is affected by
- company-related factors, such as line of business, delivery intervals and the geographical location of the sender
- transport-related matters, such as distance, batch size and value.
- differences in transportation methods, such as available capacity, price, reliability and speed.
Storage and transportation are often outsourced, i.e. the services are purchased from companies specialising in their production. According to studies by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, it is possible to attain up to 10–30% in cost savings through successful logistics outsourcing. Outsourcing also involves risks, such as the loss of competence related to the outsourced operations, increased dependency and information leakage.

When the UK and Ireland arm of German biopharmaceuticals company Merck Serono hired Robert Fairless in 2008 it was taking on its first in-house lawyer.
It also got a lawyer with a sense of adventure.
Fairless used to work at the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) in the space division, which saw him involved with the Mars Rover, the Beagle 2 and the International Space Station. One of his lasting memories from his role is watching women sewing silver blankets for astronauts.
"It was hugely interesting," says Fairless. "Not something you plan to go into, but it was fantastic to walk around the factories. But at Merck Serono we're doing more with a smaller team."
Merck Serono's global business employs 36,000 people and produces a diverse range of industrial and commercial products, from cosmetics to LCD displays to plastics.
The UK and Ireland subsidiary is much smaller at 220 employees and is split into pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Its most recognisable products are Seven Seas cod liver oil and the decongestant Nasivin, but neurology is one of the company's most important areas of business, where it finds itself up against rivals Novartis and Biogen Idec.
As head of legal compliance and company secretary, Fairless runs a small legal team comprising one lawyer (Fairless), one contracts officer and one compliance officer. It is a group that Fairless built from scratch, and when he first arrived he needed to get his new department recognised.
"I had to make sure that legal was involved in every part of the business, which included attending sales meetings in remote parts of the UK. I had to understand everyone's roles," he says.
There are not many industries as wrapped in legal tape as pharmaceuticals. The European Commission completed its inquiry into competition in the biopharma sector in July last year. The final report required companies to collect information on their commercial arrangements over the past 20 years.
This work falls to Fairless and is an overarching issue that influences the way he aims to educate the company's employees. And that means getting his point across in some unusual ways.
To ingrain his department's presence in the minds of his colleagues, Fairless distributed key fobs printed with the legal team's contact details.
He also produced a code of conduct regarding the promotion of products in the UK, which lets the company's 100-strong army of salespeople check the legality of their sales techniques.
"I tried to be innovative because I've never been to a company where there are so many people out of the office," he says. "The fob and the code of conduct let them know there are people back at HQ helping them. We're trying to get the business units to approach us rather than acting as the police of the company. Compliance is often saying 'no' to things – we want to be more creative."
In one of the more unusual moves, 29-year-old Fairless held a Who Wants to be a Millionaire? quiz with the sales team. He asked how many compliance regulations they thought would be broken in various scenarios. "It was educational but fun – the best way to do legal training," he says.
Fairless also employed Taylor Wessing to undertake a mock dawn raid at the company's offices, with four of the firm's lawyers acting as the OFT.
"It was a useful exercise," says Fairless. "It showed employees exactly what could happen and promoted the value of the legal team. They quickly realised."

Hi Benny,
If we say there is a bulk of 50 years in between them, we can generalize your quote: the whole World has changed so much. Looking on two different sides is like looking into the past and future.
Graphically speaking, one arm up and one arm down create an interesing diagonal symmetry, like a play card. Adorable color palette as well. Whether you zoomed in or they were pretending to seem unaware of you, there is a nice feeling of spontaneity here.

hello Benny,
this is a pleasing double portrait. I like the light and colour palette and the way the two seem comfortable in each others' company. They face in opposite directions as if to symbolize the reflecting back of old age and the youthful looking to the future. The composition works well with the shoulder of the man and the head and elbow of the girl creating a diagonal line.
best regards,

Can Kim Rothstein's infamous cache of hidden jewels offer the opportunity to score some loot of your own? Of course -- it's South Florida, right?
It seems only fitting that there will be elements of black humor and extravagance in the air when author Chuck Malkus makes an appearance at Cinema Paradiso Tuesday night to promote his book, "The Ultimate Ponzi: The Scott Rothstein Story."
High on the list of topics for the night will be the imminent sentencing of the Fort Lauderdale schemer's wife, Kim, who is scheduled to appear in court April 19 to learn her punishment for hiding $1 million worth of jewels from federal authorities investigating her husband's $1 billion Ponzi scandal.
South Florida being what it is, attendees at Malkus' book event can take part in a "Kim Rothstein Sentencing Pool," with prizes for those who come closest to guessing the jail time the court hands down this week. The fun and games begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Cinema Paradiso (503 SE Sixth St., Fort Lauderdale). Admission is $5 and includes light appetizers from the Royal Pig (the name of a pub, not to be confused with Scott Rothstein).
Among the prizes in the Kim Rothstein Sentencing Pool are a two-day stay at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach and a 32" flat-screen Samsung television (both donated by radio station WFTL), with a third prize of a two-night stay at the Beachcomber Resort in Pompano Beach.
On arrival, guests will find a large "Kim Rothstein Board" where they can write in the amount of time they think she'll get (A day? Five years?) or the possibility that Kim will walk without spending a day in prison. Guests also will complete a paper ballot.
Meanwhile, Malkus will discuss the sordid details of Scott Rothstein's horrible $1 billion Ponzi scheme, which took the swaggering lawyer to the glittering center of Fort Lauderdale society and duped some of the city's most accomplished residents.

O's offense backs Hammel in win over Royals
O's offense backs Hammel in win over Royals
Fresh off their first breather in a brutal 20-game stretch, the Orioles looked rested, rejuvenated and ready for redemption Friday night, storming to an 8-2 series-opening win over the Kansas City Royals on the heels of their fourth series loss this season.
"That was definitely more than welcome, an off-day there," said O's starter Jason Hammel, who used the extra rest to turn in his best start in nearly three weeks. "It's been a long run for a while."
Friday's victory, the O's third in as many tries against the Royals this year, was highlighted by six scoreless innings from Hammel and a five-run fifth inning that chased Royals lefty Bruce Chen, as Baltimore improved to 22-1 when getting a quality start and 5-0 following an off-day.
The O's early offense -- which ended with all nine starters reaching base safely -- helped the surprising first-place club continue to prove that they belong atop the American League East.
How exactly are the O's, picked by many to finish in the division's cellar, doing it? They are getting contributions from everywhere.
The Orioles, winners of 21 of their last 31, have secured their third consecutive winning month -- dating to last September -- for the first time since September 2004 to May 2005. They are an AL-best 29-17, with a Major League-leading 68 home runs -- including Chris Davis' two-run seventh-inning shot -- and sport a 2.38 bullpen ERA that entered Friday as the second-best in baseball.
Even the crowd is in uncharted territory with the 28,954 assembled at Camden Yards featuring nearly 11,000 walk-up tickets purchased, a new stadium record.
"They're engaged and it was a good atmosphere," manager Buck Showalter said of the loud and lively bunch that came out to kick off Memorial Day weekend. "And we've got to keep doing the things that make it continue. My first thought in the dugout was, what was the [stadium] promotion? You want the promotion to be good baseball."
There were fireworks after the game and discounted student seats, but neither promotion was likely unique enough to account for the walk-up crowd.
Hammel did his part to put on a good show, striking out seven and pitching six full innings for the first time since admitting to right knee soreness that caused him to miss a start. The 29-year-old Hammel battled all night, but got the big "K" when necessary, using a lethal four-pitch mix to keep Kansas City off the scoreboard.
"He threw the ball well," Royals manager Ned Yost said of Hammel, who improved to 6-1 with a 2.78 ERA since joining the Orioles. "His stuff is better than what I remember in Colorado. It surprised me a little bit. We saw it on video, but I wanted to see it in person. I was impressed."
So was Showalter, who praised both Hammel's command and crispness of his pitches, compliments the right-hander didn't dole out so easily.
"Honestly I think I had a good mix of being effectively wild and bearing down when I needed to tonight," Hammel said of the 104-pitch outing in which he was charged with five hits and a walk. "Obviously J.J. [Hardy came up] with a great play up the middle tonight on the line drive to [retire Billy] Butler, and then a big inning for us. It was the perfect storm."
Hardy's fifth-inning defensive wizardry at short was also a huge momentum shift, allowing Hammel to get out of his second jam of the night unscathed and allowing the Orioles' offense time to respond with a five-run frame.
After giving up a one-out single to Alcides Escobar, that just eluded a diving Nick Markakis, Hammel's own throwing error on Jarrod Dyson's single put runners on the corners with one out. Dyson stole second and Butler smoked a line drive that Hardy leaped up for and caught for an inning-ending play.
"I caught it in the palm," Hardy said of the screaming liner. "It really hurt. I think maybe I jumped higher than I thought I could. Maybe I didn't need to jump that high, but I hurt my hand."
"I don't know who jumped higher, him or [Hammel]," Showalter said. "Billy Butler is one of the better right-handed hitters in the league. He's a tough out and he squares us up a lot. We dodged a bullet there."
Hardy also came up big in the bottom of that frame, connecting for a two-run double off the right-field scoreboard to start the team's rally and send Chen to an early exit. Xavier Avery worked a leadoff walk and stole second, advancing to third on Robert Andino's textbook bunt that died on the infield grass for a hit.
Andino also proceeded to steal second, masterfully working around Escobar's tag -- which completely missed Andino's outstretched hand -- to put a pair of runners in scoring position.
"Momentum's a big thing in this game," Hardy said when asked about the lift the pair of stolen bases gave the O's dugout. "Had one of them been thrown out at second, it could have been a total momentum changer. It was first and third when Dino put the swim move on there, and got in there. It could have gone totally different."
But, like seemingly everything right now, it went the Orioles' way. Hardy drove them in and Markakis followed with his own RBI double to push the Orioles' lead to four. Adam Jones, who got the O's on the board with a first-inning sacrifice fly, delivered an RBI single, and two outs later, Davis drove in the inning's final run.
Davis crushed a ball from reliever Louis Coleman two outs into the seventh inning, giving the Orioles six players with seven or more homers this season.
Reliever Stu Pomeranz, who was recalled from Triple-A prior to the game, followed Hammel and allowed a two-run homer to Jeff Francoeur in the eighth. Those were the first earned runs allowed by Pomeranz, who has played at three different levels this season.

Korean cooking forum topics
Home › Forums › Introduce yourself › Hello everyone! I started cooking seriously because of Maangchi :)
This topic contains 2 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Tiny Kitten 5 years, 11 months ago.
Hi, all. I have been a long time reader of this blog but have never posted before, but when Maangchi mentioned meeting readers who didn't post and how she wished they had, I decided to introduce myself.
I had never cooked for myself much before I found Maangchi's videos. I helped my family cook often and sometimes would heat myself up leftovers or boil some pasta that I would stir sauce in from a jar, but that was it. I was afraid of the kitchen and since I had experienced some funny disasters I was convinced I was better off not trying to cook.
However, seeing her great energy and happiness as well as having her break down the recipes in such an easy to understand way changed my outlook. I began to experiment, changing up her recipes based on what I had in the house. My first dish was a spinach side dish that was inspired by hers. Over time, I began to cook more and more, not necessarily only Korean food (my husband can't eat spicy food and certain ingredients disagree with him and I cook for both of us about 3/4 of the time). I began creating my own recipes and gaining confidence, so that even when something didn't turn out right I would just go right back to watching Maangchi, getting inspired, and trying again.
I now bond over recipes with my mom, brother and my closest friends, who all cook to varying degrees. I feel like I have an unbreakable connection to the family members who are not still in the world because of the good memories I have from before, and the new good memories I am creating now, wishing they were with me. I feel like cooking and eating good food brings people closer together and celebrates our differences while surprising us with our similarities! Thanks, Maangchi, for your time and dedication!
One of the best things about Maangchi, I agree, is her lack of fussiness. Her passion and eagerness to share shows us that cooking good food is no mystery.
Passion is so important. I'm so glad you overcame your fear of the imaginary "kitchen priesthood" and embraced something that you will enjoy more and more throughout your life: making tasty, healthy food.
Welcome to the kitchen!
Thanks very much!

Brewers, Greinke table contract talks
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- The Brewers and Zack Greinke's agent have decided to suspend talks about a contract extension, Milwaukee general manager Doug Melvin said Tuesday. Greinke had been dealing directly with Melvin and principal owner Mark Attanasio during Spring Training, but he rehired agent Casey Close just before Opening Day. Melvin spoke again with Close this week and said the decision to table talks does not mean the sides could not restart a discussion at a later date. At the moment, nothing is scheduled. "We're going to let it rest right now," Melvin said. Greinke, 28, will earn $13.5 million in 2012, the final year of a four-year contract he signed with the Royals. He is on a path to be one of baseball's most sought-after free agents next winter. Greinke had been working without representation for more than a year, he but rehired Close on the same day the Giants made 27-year-old Matt Cain the richest right-hander in baseball history. Cain's six-year, $127.5 million contract reset the landscape for Greinke, who has comparable career numbers. Greinke has just over seven years of Major League service, and Cain six, but both were on a path to hit free agency in October. Greinke entered the season with a 3.82 ERA and a 1.256 WHIP in 197 starts and 41 relief appearances. Cain entered the year with a 3.35 ERA and a 1.196 WHIP in 203 starts and one relief stint. Greinke has a Cy Young Award. Cain has a World Series ring. Greinke declined to talk about those comparisons, sticking to his March 18 pledge that he would no longer address his pending free agency. Earlier in Spring Training, both sides spoke openly about a willingness to discuss a deal. The Brewers had interest in locking up another No. 1 pitcher alongside Yovani Gallardo and extending Greinke's stay in light of the high cost they paid the Royals in a December 2010 trade -- two top pitching prospects (Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress), a young starting shortstop (Alcides Escobar) and a center fielder of the future (Lorenzo Cain). Greinke said he was open to talking because he enjoys the environment in Milwaukee and working for Attanasio, whom Greinke called "the best owner out there." At one point, Greinke verbalized his options. "Free agency, I think it could be kind of neat," he said on March 8. "There could be positives to it, and then there could be negatives. It's not like everyone who gets to free agency it ends up working perfectly for them and everything comes true that they want. Sometimes it ends up backfiring on you and you would have been better off signing with the team." Greinke went 16-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 28 starts last season and won his season debut on Saturday after pitching seven scoreless innings against the Cardinals. His next start is Thursday afternoon against the Cubs.
Roenicke says he's not worried about relief
CHICAGO -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke expressed confidence Tuesday in a middle relief corps that struggled in three of the team's first four games this season.The small sample alert certainly applies, but left-hander Manny Parra has surrendered six hits and a walk in his first 2 1/3 innings, and right-hander Tim Dillard has allowed six hits and two walks in his first three innings. Parra has been charged with two earned runs, Dillard five. The duo was supposed to close out Monday's win over the Cubs but could not. Pitching with a 7-3 lead in the ninth inning, Parra worked ahead of Cubs cleanup hitter Ian Stewart, 0-and-2, but Stewart came back to hit a double. Parra retired the next hitter and made way for Dillard, who walked the only batter he faced. With the potential tying run on deck, Roenicke was forced to call upon closer John Axford, who had thrown 27 pitches the day before. Axford worked around two errors to convert his 44th consecutive regular-season save, the fifth-longest streak in baseball history and the longest active run of success. "I thought [Parra] threw the ball better yesterday," Roenicke said. "Dillard, I still think he's trying to find his command. Last year when we called him up, he was pitching really well at Triple-A. We saw some really bad swings from some good hitters. "I think he needs to get back to that confidence, back to that stage where he can just let it go without aiming the ball." Dillard played catch under the watch of bullpen coach Stan Kyles on Tuesday afternoon and said it was part of his regular routine. "Lately I've been too amped up, so I want to slow things down," Dillard said. "Looking back on film of [Monday], the ball was moving a good bit. I just didn't make the necessary adjustments."
Last call
Brewers equipment manager Tony Migliaccio broke out the winter parkas for Tuesday's batting practice, and players and coaches wore winter caps, masks and gloves. The temperature at first pitch was 40 degrees."It has a lot of effect on the game," manager Ron Roenicke said. "The wind, especially. The cold is one thing, but it's the wind. It seems to go through you. ... It's the way the ball jumps around, and all kinds of goofy things happen when you have the winds."

I mashed 4 large cloves of garlic with a 1/4 cup olive oil, a tablespoon of our homemade citrus salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the leaves of four sprigs of rosemary. I made a bunch of deep slits in the meat, stuffed the mash inside and then used the rest to coat the outside. It rested nicely in the fridge overnight and will go on about 2 pm today. I will be smoking with rosemary wood for additional flavor. I will check back in later with results!

The Augusta Partnership for Children Inc. issued policy recommendations Wednesday for legislators and community members aimed at helping families and students.
During its annual legislative breakfast, the nonprofit organization asked lawmakers to expand family planning services, maintain funding for Regional Perinatal Centers, study current state program offerings and support improvement of state student databases.
"One of the things we're looking for is a commitment from everyone," said Dr. Charles Jackson, a professor at Augusta State University and member of the APC board of directors. "Our concern is to get our young folks off to a healthy start."
The partnership also wants the community to address issues such as comprehensive sex education programs, childhood obesity, underage drinking, parental involvement, student test-taking skills and unsupervised suspended students.
The most pressing issues are whittled down from a larger list that APC members vote on, said Dr. Robetta McKenzie, executive director for the partnership.
She said the recommendations are intended to give legislators a starting point, and the partnership will follow up with government officials throughout the year.
State Rep. Henry Wayne Howard, D-Augusta, said the community must keep the dialogue going past the annual event.
"I think you're giving us some ammunition to go back to Atlanta with," he said.
With the state slashing budgets, Dr. McKenzie said it's important for groups to collaborate and pool resources.
State Sen. Edward Tarver, a Democrat, said changes are needed, but economic times are harsh.
"The reality is there are going to be fewer resources, not more," he said. "Many of those programs being cut probably won't come back."
Rep. Quincy Murphy, D-Augusta, also spoke at the breakfast. U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., and U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., sent representatives.
Specific recommendations for legislators were:
- Pursue a waiver to expand family planning services to women for two years after delivery and possibly men in an effort to improve birth outcomes, reduce repeat unintended pregnancies, increase interconception spacing and improve the well-being of children and families.
- Maintain funding for the Regional Perinatal Centers to ensure an accessible and appropriate high-risk perinatal and neonatal health care system for high-risk infants and women stays in place.
- Commission a study of current state-administered or funded after-school and summer programs and scrutinize the criteria used to award money to community agencies and school systems to make sure they are high quality.
- Provide resources and monitor the state Board of Education's efforts to implement a longitudinal student database that will improve education record-keeping.

Jack Miller's Final Healthy Heart Update
This is my final updated from my rehab period. For those who may not know or remember, I had a heart attack on January 9 and had two stints put in the vessels of my heart. I feel fortunate that what I received was a warning that I have not been treating my body well. During the last few months, I have been going through 36 sessions of physical rehab at the Bothwell Regional Health Center. I have now completed that rehab, and feel like I am very much improved, although still well over the weight limit for a pony.

I was expecting that girl stuck on that island to get taken by a squid and get raped...
And it happened.
On a side note: LOL on the CD, and Torrents FTW!

You say your new at this? I hardly noticed. Not bad at all. It was quite an enjoyable video, and the song is catchy. I know it's not quite "Stolen" as the first review said. You did a good job! I'm going to probably watch more videos from you :3
Oh and the Video looped on me quite a few times. Didn't mind it one bit.
I'm glad you liked it that much.
I may do a few more music videos in the near future (music videos are good for practice), as well as my original scripted stuff. So, stay tuned, I guess.

Not bad at all
I can tell you did this quite well, but also that you want to improve so here's the two cents I think might help: For some reason everything seemed fine with the exception of the lady dancing on the island. Why I can't tell, but if you can go over it and figure it out for yourself it might make your next project just that much better.
Also, next time: Do Alestorm's version XD
Yeah, It's kinda hard to animate people dancing, also I'm new to frame by frame, so I guess that's why it looked so weird.

Well, I was going to post a photo of the finished gansey, but I'm so frustrated with the slowness of the internet that I'm giving up. This is the second time I've tried, letting it "rest" for a couple hours hasn't helped a thing.
I'm trying to load a couple of web pages which won't load. I'm trying to send an e-mail which won't send. I'm trying to clear old e-mails off the server, which shouldn't be my job but my ISP can't figure out why they won't automatically clear.
Grrr. Grrr. Grrr.
Thank you, Denise, for saying that two days of journaling is an accomplishment. I could so very easily have blown it off yesterday, as I was gone most of the day and I'm lazy about filling everything in at the end of the day. But your comment spurred me to action!
Now to hit the "publish" button and see if anything happens.

With all the talk about global warming, you'd think that summer in Southern California would be hotter than ever. But anyone who lives within 10 miles of the ocean knows that every summer brings "June Gloom" and its incessant, miserable gray clouds that blow in from the Pacific and stick around until late in the afternoon (and which, despite their name, often arrive in April or May and last until July or August). The crappy weather means that summer usually lasts from late August until early October, which makes no sense. We asked Charlie Zender, an associate professor of earth systems science at UC Irvine, for some answers.
OC Weekly: What is June Gloom?
Charlie Zender:It's part of the natural cycle that affects Southern California around the Catalinas every year. It's fairly predictable and fits a pattern driven by a combination of ocean, atmospheric and land interaction. If you look at the globe from outer space, Southern California is clear and desert-like, but extending off the coast to Hawaii is a constant deck of stratospheric clouds. For much of the year there is a deck of stratocumulus, and during May and June, the winds and ocean circulation undergo a rearrangement that causes those clouds to intensify and be drawn over the land during the morning, usually burning off in the afternoon.
Where else on the planet does this happen?
There are three other places around the world that have these extensive stratocumulus decks: Peru, Namibia, along the Skeleton Coast, and off the West Coast of Australia. They are all arid areas. The key thing for Southern California is that our coast doesn't really go from North to South. It goes from North-West to South-East, and in May and June, the wind blows straight along the coast. This intensifies upwelling of cold water along the coast: the surface cools down, it intensifies the marine layer. Meanwhile, over the land here in Orange County during the summer, we are warming up because the sun is directly overhead, the desert is heating up, and daytime highs are increasing. The desert regions generate a huge thermal, which sucks cold marine air in to replace the air that is rising. The power for the sea breeze is that summertime heat cooking the desert, and you get a sea breeze on steroids in the summer that brings in a lot of clouds.
How will global warming affect summer weather in Orange County?
We aren't sure, but we have predictions consistent with all the observations so far. In the long run, in the next few decades, the offshore Pacific Ocean will probably get colder off the coast. This isn't part of global warming: it's part of a natural cycle. And the temperature will only go down by less than a degree. You're not going to see huge icebergs bumping into Catalina Island. But the effect of that is that it increases the change in temperature from the ocean to the land. If you strengthen that sea breeze conveyor belt, you can expect the June Gloom to penetrate deeper and last longer. Global warming could actually cause June Gloom to intensify even more. If both ocean and desert temperatures go up, there's no net increase in June Gloom, but with global warming, you increase temperatures over land more than over the ocean. It takes much longer to warm up the ocean. There is no disagreement that the land will warm more than the ocean. That will speed up the merry-go-round of the sea breeze.

Are you sure global warming is real? The Bush administration isn't so sure.
Global climate change is one of the saddest aspects of industrialization. You see all this great improvement in quality of life, and everyone wants that, and the bottom line is we can't currently industrialize and energize economies without fossil fuels. But there is no legitimate scientific dispute with the fact that greenhouse gases warm the planet. It is increasingly clear that without any compunction for future generations, we are going to blow through the available oil and inexorably damage the planet. You can already see the effect of this on tree frogs and polar bears. But I'm glad about the fact that the so-called debate about whether global warming is real has died down. People that just want to be provocative and debate global warming are quieting down, and now we can at least have a discussion about what we can do about global warming. The good news is that it turns out that you can preserve many of the services the climate provides by just reducing the rate of burning all the fossil fuels. It has important consequences for preserving the ocean cycles we have. I think we are closer to making the right decisions than we were 10 years ago.
Forget species extinction. Let's talk about summer. Are you saying that global warming could actually make our summers colder, cloudier and crappier than they already are?
Yes, but we'll be glad about that because we will feel the heat much less than areas further inland, like Bakersfield or the Inland Empire, which will see very large temperature increases over the coming decades. And you can save some money on sunscreen. There's always a silver lining.

Dear Design Mom, I am in the midst of finishing my basement, and want to decorate it with the letter T (our initial) and b&w; pics of the fam. I want to find some cool letters and need to know where to look. I don't want to just buy all of them, as I would like this to sort of be a collection. What I need, are ideas of where to look. You have to know oh wise one! — R
I love this question! The challenge of where to hunt is really at the heart of putting together any collection. As far as alphabet letters go, I have a few recommendations:
1) Seek out any flea markets or antique fairs within driving distance of your home. Make it a weekend hobby.
2) Troll ebay regularly.
3) Check the home sections of stores like TJ Maxx and Ross.
4) Let your friends and family know about your collection. When they spot the letter T for sale as they go about their business, they'll pick it up for you.
5) If opportunities for hunting are few and far between, some surefire sources to start your collection are Anthropologie and Gauge. Tip: Gauge is expanding their product line and will have a new website up in a couple weeks, so check back for even more options.
My last advice: be patient. Great collections often come together over years.

There were 18 television video cameras in the room to record the momentous event.
I'm not sure there were 18 video cams in all of Western Canada back when Wayne Gretzky was the same age and playing here.
They were all there to capture Sidney Crosby getting off the bus, taking the elevator to his hotel room and then entering the press conference room from the back door.
Columnists from Calgary and Vancouver were in place for the beginning of the Great Western Tour featuring tonight's first game which brings Sid The Kid to the building where The Great One used to play.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were late in arriving to Edmonton and the press conference to launch Crosby's inaugural live visits to the only three arenas in the league where he's never played before, originally scheduled for 4 p.m., started an hour late.
Fifteen minutes later, nobody could think of another question. This could be a long week.
And you couldn't help but leave the room and wonder if we Westerners were getting juuuust a bit carried away making this out to be as big a deal as we're making it out to be.
It certainly didn't seem to be for Crosby.
The initial inquiry at the gathering was as to how he felt to come here after three years in the NHL and finally be able to play "in the building Gretzky built."
Without sounding or looking too terribly excited at all, Crosby said "it's exciting."
I don't know why anybody expected this exceptionally polished, likable lad to sound otherwise. Then he wouldn't be Sidney Crosby. And he did say all the right things.
"It's exciting for me to come to a new place, especially in Canada. A lot of us come to a place where there's history and tradition and we're looking forward to it," he said, including teammates Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, Ryan Whitney and Marc-Andre Fleury, who have never played here before, either.
It was clear the majority of the media was counting on Crosby taking the angle of his finally skating on the hallowed ice where Gretzky skated and giving it some legs.
He didn't.
"I wasn't even born then," said the 20-year-old from Cole Harbour, N.S.
The assembled media members weren't prepared to give up on the Gretzky angle.
Pittsburgh played at home to Gretzky's Phoenix Coyotes the night before and Crosby was asked if he talked to Gretzky about making the trip here the next day.
"I haven't talked to him in a couple of years now," said last year's NHL scoring leader.
Crosby did tell about the time when he was 14 or 15, in other words five or six years ago, when his agent took him to a camp in Los Angeles and No. 99 showed up.
"He surprised the whole group," he said and then recalled how they were playing three-on-three hockey and how he positioned himself on the bench so he would be out on the ice at the same time to play against Gretzky.
If there was one entertaining moment at the event, it came when he did admit he wouldn't have minded playing in the olden days when Gretzky was here.
"A lot of us watch those classic games and you see the equipment on the goalies and it's hard not to cringe sometimes. Sometimes you wish you were shooting on guys with little bit smaller equipment.
"But that's just the way it is. That's hockey for us."
He said his impression of hockey here back in the Gretzky days was "a lot of offence - hockey at its best, up and down and a lot of skill."
But the Gretzky angle was going nowhere.
It wasn't that he was playing the visit to Western Canada down. He said he'd brought his dad. And he got tickets for a couple of his buddies from back home.
He said he was happy that the NHL is going to revise the schedule to allow Eastern Conference teams to visit every other year.
"It's tough for the fans not to see different players and different teams," he said.
"I think it's great. It's good for everyone, the players and the fans."
But what Sidney Crosby really should have done yesterday was look out at all those cameras and say that three years and almost 200 games into his NHL career, he shouldn't have had to be coming here to go through this dog and pony show.

Rivals100 defensive end Derrick Morgan made an official visit to Penn State this weekend. The 6-foot-4, 260-pounder had an enjoyable trip to Happy Valley even though it was short.
"It was a pretty short visit to Penn State," he said. "I got there on Saturday morning and had a very good time.
"My host was Jared Odrick and I was comfortable with him. I felt like I fit in well with the players and they seemed to be a good group of guys."

One thing the Coatesville, Pa. prospect took notice of was Penn State's depth chart.
"The depth chart is important to me and I know they took a lot of defensive linemen last year," he said. "That doesn't really bother me though because I know I'll have to compete wherever I go."
Morgan particularly enjoyed taking in the game in State College.
"I grew up a fan of Ohio State, but Penn State is everything in eastern Pennsylvania," he said. "The whiteout there was awesome to see and the atmosphere overall was just very impressive.
"I thought Penn State played pretty well. Obviously with the quarterbacks getting hurt that was tough and they faced an aggressive defensive. Defensively I did like the way they rotated guys in so everyone gets some playing time. I can say that the loss didn't affect my visit at all."
Morgan still has one more visit scheduled to Boston College on October 27th. He is also hoping to get to North Carolina State for an unofficial visit before deciding.

Tagged: arrow color
Hi !
I try to change the big slideshow arrow in the top of the frontage.
I would like to change the over color by css, is it possible (I tried but not
find the right place…)
And if I want the change the shape of the arrow, does I need only to change the "arrow.png"
in photoshop (changing the size will be ok or should I keep exactly the same size?)
Thanks !
Hi Alain,
You can change the png if you'd like and keeping it the same size would make it very easy to switch out. For the color, Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
#top .slideshow_color .css_3_hover {
background-color: #000;
color: #000;
You can change the color using html color codes.
The topic 'Big slideshow arrow color' is closed to new replies.

ISSI to reduce 30% of U.S. workforce, posts loss
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. Memory-chip maker Integrated Silicon Solution Inc. on Tuesday (Jan. 25) announced that it will reduce its U.S. workforce by some 30 percent by March 31.
ISSI (Santa Clara, Calif.) said it rely more on its Taiwan and China workforce. Separately, the company has reached an agreement to acquire Integrated Circuit Solution Inc. (ICSI) in Taiwan. Currently, ISSI owns 29 percent of ICSI and ISSI's CEO serves on the ICSI board of directors. Under the agreement, ISSI will acquire ICSI for approximately $69 million in cash.
ISSI reported its financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004. Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were $30.6 million, compared with $40.3 million in the first quarter of the prior year and $31.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
The company reported a net loss for the first fiscal quarter of 2005 of $13.3 million, or minus $0.37 per diluted share. These results compare with a net profit for the December 2003 quarter of $0.9 million or $0.03 per share on a diluted share basis, and a net loss of $15.6 million, or minus $0.43 per share, on a diluted share basis in the September 2004 quarter.
"Although unit volumes matched our expectations, we experienced pricing pressure throughout the quarter. We believe the market has now begun to stabilize," said Jimmy Lee, ISSI's chairman and CEO, in a statement.

Safety of Reduced 30/06 Loads

I've been chewing on this a bit, and have a question.
Ii loaded some 30/06's awhile back with a starting load out of Speer's manual, and got high primers. I wasn't going for a reduced load par se, just beginning to work a load up with new powder. It seems to me that these high primer loads are to be suspect of shoulder setback also.
When the primer/charge goes off, the case is forced forwards, setting back the shoulder but not enough force to set the case back against the breech/boltface, allowing the primer room to setback somewhat.
Would it be a reasonable assumption to say/suspect that the shoulder has set back the same amount as the high primer protrudes?
I haven't been reloading rifle cartridges near as long as I have been handgun. I was previously unaware about the shoulder setback issue (in this context) and as far as high primers go, figured, add more powder, the case wasn't necessarily trashed for high power loads. I'm now thinking differently. I haven't loaded those high primer cases again, though they are ready to go. You guys now have me thinking that I should trash these cases. These high primer loads were loaded with a medium heavy bullet.
Would case gauging these cases show me that the shoulder was set back on this brass? (I've been using the rifle chamber for /06.)

TrafficSure Introduces New Multimedia Marketing Starter Package
Generating quality multi-channel traffic for websites is now easier and more affordable with the new Starter Pack by TrafficSure.com.
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) January 12, 2013
To maximize the reach of their websites and turn them into revenue-building assets, companies need to access multiple media traffic channels instead of relying on any single one. With this in mind, TrafficSure, a division of SuperFastBusiness.com, recently launched the TrafficSure Starter Pack which will help businesses increase website traffic with inbound marketing strategies—now at a more affordable rate.
SuperFastBusiness.com CEO James Schramko developed the revolutionary course called Own the Racecourse (OTR) to help site owners generate massive exposure without building their business on a single platform and exposing themselves to significant risks. The course's philosophy serves as the foundation for TrafficSure's OTR Extra Pack, OTR Done for You (DFY) Pack, and the new OTR Starter Pack.
"We have been providing traffic services since 2006. We serve hundreds of traffic specialists who, in turn, supply thousands of end customers. Our team is sizeable and we are able to supply consistent levels of output with a high level of service," states the CEO.
The OTR Starter Pack is designed to help clients gain more consumer attention for their existing videos using proven effective publishing and announcement strategies. A company's content video (ideally spanning two to five minutes, which Schramko recommends for optimal viewer reception) will be edited to include the appropriate intro and outro sounds and to cut out all "uhms" and "ahhs"; text highlights will also be added at key points within the video.
Also included in the Starter Pack is the creation of one custom graphic, written bullet points of the video's highlights, and a full transcription of the video script. The video will be uploaded onto the client's YouTube account with the appropriate title, tags and description.
The audio will also be stripped from the video and turned into an MP3 file which will then be uploaded to the client's Amazon S3 account and effectively turned into a podcast to be made available on iTunes. The new post will be syndicated to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. Lastly, the video and the post will be bookmarked and the blog RSS feed will be syndicated to feed directories like Zinepal and Scribd.
The Starter Pack is available at the affordable monthly rate of $279. Businesses who opt to sign up for the Extra Pack (at $399) will receive an additional custom press release and professional PR distribution services while those who choose the DFY Pack (at $599) will enjoy custom video creation along with PR creation and distribution. Weekly rates are also available for all three packages.
"This new starter pack is designed to get your business moving a little bit quicker thanks to quality online site traffic," Schramko explains. "If you have a video or an audio that you can give us, let us embed it on YouTube and then syndicate it for you. You'll notice you'll start to build authority just like we do from SuperFastBusiness.com. It's proving to be a very popular package and now it's affordable for everyone."

Empty hotel rooms and empty seats at the Olympics go on last-minute sale
Seems it's not too late to get tickets for the Olympics and a decent London hotel room, after all.
After seats were left empty during events at the weekend, the Olympics organisers are reselling unsold tickets. Similarly, hotels that were reportedly block-booked back in 2011 still have hotel rooms available for the Olympics period and for the rest of the summer.
Within a few miles of the Olympic Park, these East End hotels are surrounded by the capital's most exciting bars, clubs, restaurants, shops and galleries. Rough Luxe, designer Rabih Hage's cool boutique hotel in King's Cross, has rooms from £199. Rooms at Terence Conran's Boundary hotel start from £336; and both The Zetter and The Zetter Townhouse are offering B&B from £288.60. The £1 rooms at The Hoxton have, not surprisingly, all gone; but guests can stay still bag a room for £249. Andaz, near Liverpool Street Station in the City, also has some availability.
For classic decadence, stay in Mayfair, where Browns Hotel and Claridge's are both taking new bookings from today. And some of our favourite hotels, including The Dorchester and The Berkeley, have rooms available from 5 August, in time for some of the athletics events.
Close to The Mall, where the cycling and road races start, is 51 Buckingham Gate; while further west near Sloane Square, B+B Belgravia is a nice boutique option, on charming Ebury Street; both have availability for the Olympics period.
And on the South Bank, the brand new CitizenM Bankside has rooms from £99.
More last-minute deals can be found on our booking service here, or with hotel booking app Justbook.com

Apparently, not even being made of green fabric absolves a Hollywood movie star from hitting the road to promote a new movie.
Kermit the Frog — in Toronto to plug his forthcoming feature, The Muppets — held court Tuesday from behind a cloth-draped table at a downtown hotel cafe.
The world's most famous felt frog regaled dozens of inquisitive journalists, their tongues firmly planted in cheek, with stories from his decades-long career.
The famed Sesame Street character described his affection for Toronto, performing for a new generation of youngsters and the enduring appeal of his favourite song, Rainbow Connection.
The Muppets, which opens Nov. 23, follows Kermit and the gang as they try to save Muppet studios from being razed by an oil digger. It stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams.
Cameos include Jack Black, Sarah Silverman, Feist, Selena Gomez, Whoopi Goldberg and Neil Patrick Harris.

There is too much abuse going on that we simply started ignoring the most basic forms of abuse. Abuse is not just hitting someone or so called physical abuse, there are dozens of types of abuse, and unfortunately most people just turn a blind eye. Abuse can be everything from physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual, verbal and even neglect can be considered in some situations as abuse. A teen child neglected by his parents or guardians who don't provide the basic needs for that child is considered as abuse.
Physical Abuse is the most common type of abuse and the most noticeable one. Any type of hard physical contact with intent to hurt the other person is considered physical abuse, hitting, shaking, pinching, burning, biting, throwing, beating and all of the other actions that hurt, cause pain, leave marks and injuries are considered to be physical abuse.
Emotional abuse is very hard to notice most of the time because there are no physical signs that can be easily seen. Emotional abuse is mostly caused by parents by yelling, constant criticism, and threats which diminish the self esteem of a child and can leave a teen emotionally scarred for life. Emotional abuse may cause even greater damage than physical abuse can, this type of abuse can scar a person for life.
Sexual abuse varies and there are several types, but abuse is abuse. The most common type of sexual abuse is rape, or forcing sex upon an unwilling person of any age or gender. Sex between an adult and a person under 18 is also sexual abuse, as well as forcing sex between family members, which is called incest.
Neglect is the type of abuse that can be very hard to notice and define. Under neglect falls anything from failing to provide basics for a child like medical care, food, clothes, housing or supervision. There is also emotional neglect, which is when parents don't provide emotional support for their children.
All sorts of family violence can be considered as abuse, sometimes the child is not the one being abused but the other parent, but child having to witness that can suffer from emotional abuse. But unfortunately abuse is not just family oriented; it can happen in school, like bullying, on the street and everywhere else by anyone else.
Recognizing abuse is a very hard task, the teens that suffer abuse rarely wish to talk about that, so in most cases abuse is discovered too late. But some of the sites you can find in this article can help you recognize and prevent abuse at the beginning.

I put together car kits and re-vamped my daypack survival kit after Mr. Lee went missing in Oregon. I've read a lot of survival stories and advice from some notable experts and some not-so-reliable sources. As a result, I've come up with some ideas of my own. Here they are:
Since you'll be hunting Elk, you'll already be carrying a capable rifle, ammunition, knife and water. I would also recommend rain gear and an extra layer of wool or polypro clothing (to include hat and socks) as well as a waterproof map and compass. I made up a small survival kit that always goes in the bottom of my pack, regardless of whether I am ten minutes from the house on 100 acres or hiking in the backcountry. It contains:
Gerber multi-tool
Signal mirror
ball-less whistle
blaze orange handkerchief
space blanket
duct tape
two large heavy duty trash bags
two quart sized ziploc freezer bags
water purification tablets or purifying drinking straw
magnesium fire starter
butane lighter
lifeboat matches
wire saw
fishing kit (hooks, sinkers, flies, braided line)
50 ft. genuine 550 para cord
small knife
pencil and paper
safety pins
First-aid kit (small bandages, steri-strips, bandage tape, needles, dental floss, tweezers, alcohol prep pads, sting-eez, neosporin, aspirin, immodium A-D, benadryl and zantac 150)
I highly recommend the book
"How to Stay Alive in the Woods"
. It's older but extremely well written and contains tons of woodcraft that has been largely forgotten. If you can afford it, carry a personal 406 mHz ELT. Above all, practice using all the equipment in your kit. It's harder to make fire using the magnesium fire-starter than you think.

text: Hi, Simple one some would say but it's got me puzzled & I'm technically minded. My rear number plate lights on my 54 plate A6 saloon have stopped working. I've changed both bulbs, checked the connections on the bulb holders, cleaned the terminals they touch on in the mechanism to get the power, checked the fuses in both front panels & the rear one (although none seem to be relevant) and still I cannot get them to light up. Am I missing something here in obvious terms that is stopping them from lighting/powering up, is there another link somewhere in their operation that could be at fault or do I have a problem of some other magnitude? If anyone can assist I would appreciate it so as I get them sorted out before (a) I get a pull by the police or (b) I have to pay the garage a visit to identify & fix. Thanks

2009 Porsche Carrera PDK Review
By: Jay Shoemaker | The Truth About Cars
In theory, a dual clutch gearbox offers drivers the best of both worlds: a corner-carving-compliant paddle shift system (complete with computer-controlled, rev-matching throttle blipping) and a waft-enabling automatic gearbox. As developed by the BorgWarner, the DSG version lifted a well-sorted VW Golf GTI into automotive Valhalla. Porsche fans arched their collective eyebrows, anticipating the day when Stuttgart would perform a similar transformation for the world's only best everyday supercar: the 911. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is here, attached to the model's 900th evolution. Is the system finally ready for hammer time?

This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
Peel back a layer of smog from the LA sky and fold yourself into the blanket of haze. The golden half-light catches glimmers that pass by most eyes. Up here, there are treasures for those who tune in. matthewdavid operates in this magnetic cocoon, unspooling magic radiance. His music reflects beautiful, fleeting moments and magnifies them. The compositions float like crackling clouds, antenna amplifying the dreams of the city below.
matthewdavid is a man who builds with warm tones. He travels new paths gathering sounds to enhance the intricate dimensions of his creations. It was this hunt for inspired trails and blazing progress that pulled him to California. He made the move from Southern States and was immediately embraced by the Los Angeles community. A willowy figure with wide smiles, his gentle presence and generous talents made him a welcome addition to internationally applauded LA creative circles: dublab, Poo-Bah, Low End Theory and Brainfeeder. Constant collaboration with these collectives helped inspire him to a build a platform of his own. His Leaving Records label has an ear to the next and an eye on the original. Through all these outlets he is dedicated to sharing elevated sounds and visions.
The songs unveiled on his debut album "Outmind" are destined for infinite replay. Light, gauzy moments blend with those densely layered. The biggest swing gives way to the slowest sway.
Illinois native David Cohn, a.k.a. multifaceted rapper Serengeti, experienced two distinctly different childhoods growing up. Half of his time was spent in Chicago's then all-black South Side with his mother — a secretary, atheist, and devout communist. The other half was clocked in the then all-white suburbs of Olympic Fields with his father — a stressed, middle-class business-owner. Though Serengeti is the great nephew of Sonny Cohn, Count Basie's trumpeter of thirty years, music wasn't passed down freely in the family. Instead, young David kept his musical obsessions in his head, and by the time he was ready to loose them, his skull had accumulated several album's worth of left- field hip-hop detritus. Geti has since released fourteen albums in ten years. He made his first two nearly by accident, on the way to completing his so-called "debut," Gasoline Rainbows. That triptych created a hefty rumble in the underground, showcasing stylish, heady raps intertwined with thick threads of soul, pop, rock and psychedelia. With 2006's Dennehy — a character-based concept album loaded with Chi-town signposts and sports references — Geti established himself as the missing link between Kool Keith, Common Sense and Bill Swerski's Superfans. Since, he's been following a stream of consciousness through the darker corners of society and his psyche over an increasingly adventurous musical trajectory. In 2008 alone, Geti debuted two new projects: Yoome, an intimate electronic collaboration with a New Zealand chanteuse, and Friday Night, an exercise in deconstructed party rap with emcee Hi-Fidel. In 2009, Adam "doseone" Drucker (Subtle, themselves, 13& God) signed Geti and his sometimes production partner Polyphonic to Anticon. The pair released their sophomore collaboration on the label that same year, Terradactyl, which found the emcee's bleak verbiage delivered in both rhyme and free-floating sing-song over an intricate and glitchy expanse of experimental electronics. Fifteen months later came Serengeti & Polyphonic's double EP, Bells & A Floating World, which featured six brand new songs and as many remixes, including inspired reworkings by artists as diverse as WHY?, Bracken, Jel, Son Lux, Greetings From Tuskan and Epstein Y El Conjunto. 2011 is looking to be one of Geti's busiest years yet, thanks to Anticon's release of Tha Grimm Teachaz' long-lost cassette-only classic There's a Situation on the Homefront (Geti helped bring the formerly shelved 1993 album to the label) and his contribution to Asthmatic Kitty's ongoing 7-inch series. His latest Anticon release is Family & Friends, a refreshingly upbeat full-length produced by WHY?'s Yoni Wolf and Advance Base, formerly known as Casiotone For The Painfully Alone.
He was but a young buck, wet behind the ears and not all that wise. But if Jeffery James Logan--Catholic-born Chicago son, one-time Chuck Berry enthusiast, junior high schooler- knew one thing, he knew that he needed to play the drums. If he knew another thing, it was that he wouldn't get to, no matter how much angsty teen protest or sullen-eyed brooding he put into the cause, because, well, some jock kid was in better with the gym teacher. So Jeff-the SP-1200 beatmachine master we now know as Jel-took up the coronet. Thankfully, the SP found Jel shortly after Christmas one high school year. He'd been helping elderly women pump gas as part of a long-term scheme to turn fuel into money into circuitry into sound. He still had the tapes from the year he fell in love with music-1989 radio broadcasts from 105.9 WGCI, The Rap Down with Franky J and Disco Dave-and had been desperately searching for a way to feed his intense attraction to beat-making ever since his first urges were denied. With cash clenched tightly in young fist, he marched to the nearest music store and happily bought the cornerstone of his entire sound: the SP-1200. Revenge on a gym teacher never felt so sweet. And Jel never looked back.
The next few years were spent mostly in two places. When Jel wasn't locked away in his room with his new mechanical love, he was helping out behind the scenes at Northwestern University's radio station. At home he'd cut, chop, artist, and tap; on campus he'd pass his tapes along to local DJs and emcees that would stop by the station. Jel's friend and radio partner Kevin Beacham introduced him to the hip-hop that came before, the secrets of the drum machine (i.e. how to cheat to 10-second sample time), and -most importantly-a certain nasaltoned Cincinnati rapper who went by the name of Doseone. The rest of Jel's story is the beginning stages and steady fruition of an entire movement in sound. In 1996, he quit art school in favor of the chills. In 1998, his first collaborations with dose saw the light of day (Hemispheres). In January of 1999, the debut Themselves LP was finished (Them), and by Spring of the same year, work would begin on the seminal Deep Puddle Dynamics project. And from that artist-which included Jel and Doseone, Sole and Alias of Portland, Maine's Live Poets, and Slug from Atmosphere-the concept of anticon was somewhere born.
Today Jel lives in the Oakland Bay Area with the same SP-1200 he purchased as a teen. They left the Midwest together in a concerted effort to defy genre with a collective of like-minded individuals and instruments. His crunchy punched-out beats and swells of low-bit atmospherics have become anticon trademarks, highly sought after by artists around the globe. Jel was one of the first, if not the very first musician to use the a drum machine in live performance like a drum kit with little to no sequencing. Using the pads on the drum machine, Jel plays each snare, bass kick, cymbal and loop with his fingers. And his raps ain't half bad either. To date, Jel's list of collaborators includes Can's Malcolm Mooney, Stephanie Bohm from Ms. John Soda, Mike Patton, Wise Intelligent of Poor Righteous Teachers, Black Thought of the Roots, DJ Krush, Mr. Dibbs, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, and just about the entire anticon roster, naturally. Jel is currently a member of Themselves (with Doseone and Dax Pierson), Subtle (a cello-drumssamplers-guitar-keyboards-winds-and-words sextet on Lex artists), and 13 & God (Themselves and the Notwist). His second solo full-length is entitled Soft Money.
Billy Freekin Dee. In the beginning… there were turntables on a hardwood floor. DJ'ing for the first six months was done on the ground with a case of beer. Eventually he got a table a mpc and better. With this betterness he was able to release 2 mixtapes, produce 4 full length albums, win 2 DMC's and play hundreds of shows. He is now combining all of these experiences together to create one performance that you can dance to or sit back and enjoy. or hate. Dj Abilities for 2011.

Kendall Jenner Shows Support for Father After Separation Announcement
Bruce Jenner, the 63-year-old Olympic gold medalist who recently announced a separation from reality television star matriarch Kris Jenner, is receiving support from his daughter Kendall Jenner, 17.
Bruce and Kris, the 57-year-old manager and matriarch of the infamous Kardashian clan that appears on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," announced their split after 22 years of marriage recently.
"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the Jenners said in a joint statement to E! News. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."
The Jenners have two daughters together, Kendall and Kylie, 16. The former seems to be expressing support for her father on Instagram where she posted an image of herself wearing a button that states, "I Know BRUCE JENNER Personally."
Still, Kendall's parents insist that their family is intact despite the announcement of their separation.
"I'm doing great. Kris is happy, I'm happy. Nobody is filing for divorce," Bruce told People. "Kris has her own place and I have my own place. There's no animosity. Everything is good."
Kris also echoed Bruce's sentiments.
"We're actually really good. Bruce and I are best friends and we actually have a lot of mutual love and respect for one another," Jenner told Entertainment Tonight recently. "… So I think that when you read into a lot of the rubbish that's being printed and on the internet and on the tabloids it's just crap. Nobody knows what's going on except Bruce or [myself] but we're just fabulous."
Bruce let it be known that he is not interested in dating, but only in focusing on his family.
"No! We're not going there. I have my family, I have my kids," Jenner told People magazine recently. "All my time is filled."
