Throwing taxpayer money down a (post) hole
I can't tell you how many times I've seen state roads and intersections with multiple signs - all on their own post. Seems like some of these could be consolidated on one pole. Does the road crew going out to put up a new sign even LOOK at the other posts in the same area? Guess it's another example that since they get paid by the hour, they'd rather put up a new one and waste more of our money.

When Tom Robinson sang "Glad to Be Gay" back in 1978, he did it as a dirge — the irony, while bracing, was entirely obvious. Six years later, the singer and lyricist of the Smiths — a man called Morrissey — has little use for the ironic mode: His memories of heterosexual rejection and homosexual isolation seem too persistently painful to be dealt with obliquely. Morrissey's songs probe the daily ache of life in a gay-baiting world, but the bitterness and bewilderment he's felt will be familiar to anyone who's ever sought social connection without personal compromise. Whether recalling the confusion of early heterosexual encounters ("I'm not the man you think I am") or the sometimes heartless reality of the gay scene, Morrissey lays out his life like a shoebox full of faded snapshots.
Given Morrissey's rather somber poetic stance, The Smiths is surprisingly warm and entertaining. Though Morrissey's voice — a sometimes toneless drone that can squeal off without warning into an eerie falsetto — takes some getting used to, it soon comes to seem quite charming, set as it is amid the delicately chiming guitars of cocomposer Johnny Marr. And the eleven songs here are so rhythmically insinuating that the persistent listener is likely to find himself won over almost without warning. From "What Difference Does It Make?," a clever reprise of a venerable garage-punk riff, to the striking opener, "Reel around the Fountain," and the U.K. hits "Hand in Glove" and "This Charming Man," this record repays close listening.

How cute is this denim dress from Tootsa MacGinty?! I love the simple faded denim smock style (coincidentally, I have a very similar dress for myself!), but I also love that it comes with a little pouch full of cute & colourful iron-on patches for kids to customise.
Leave it to Tootsa MacGinty to add a fun twist like that! I also love the clever pack-a-mac jacket which folds up into its own little handy bag, complete with smiley face. So cute!
x Courtney
Super cute!!!! I loved every time my mom allowed my to choose iron-on patches to cover my ripped jeans 🙂

The Tata Motors owned-Jaguar Land Rover is likely to rework two outsourcing contracts given to fellow Tata Group company Tata Consultancy Services.
The Tata Motors owned-Jaguar Land Rover is likely to rework two outsourcing contracts given to fellow Tata Group company Tata Consultancy Services, Sources told CNBC-TV18 that the contracts are up for renewal in 2015 and hence JLR may seek some prior tweaking of the contracts.
The move is part of JLR's efforts to realign and refocus it's automotive services and the said contracts may be tweaked to include strategic management consulting and application development.
JLR had outsourced bulk of its in house information technology work to the India's largest software company. TCS has so far received a total business of USD 10 million from the Tata Motors' subsidiary.
Also read: TCS wins USD 43 m contract from Norway Post
The sources however indicated that JLR has an option to completely exit from the said contracts. TCS had received bulk of information technology contracts from JLR over last six months.
It must be noted that for years, TCS had been losing out on lucrative outsourcing contracts from Tata group companies to IBM, one of the world's biggest computer service company.
According to Mint newspaper, in October TCS had won fresh outsourcing business worth USD 385 million (Rs.2,040 crore) from Tata Motors Ltd and Jaguar Land Rover. Tata Motors has been moving IT projects from IBM to TCS as part of a bigger exercise to consolidate its IT operations with a single vendor.
If JLR decides to completely exit from the said contracts, then it may come up as big blow for Mumbai-based IT company.
When contracted JLR informed CNBC-TV18 that the company continuously reviews supplier contracts and purchasing decisions on regular basis for business efficiencies. However it denied to make any further comments on the matter.
TCS provides range of technology solutions for automobile sector which includes shop floor to retail integration, solutions for entire supply chain and intelligence solutions for driving business value.

They are all around us a lot of the time – clocks, tables, chairs, kitchen cupboards, beds, carpets – and the list goes on and on. Household items are very often seen in interior design website design, and some sites use time of day (ie – bright, sunny morning), or unusual angles to showcase their work to the very best effect.
Here we have collected a selection of sites that use stunning images of household items in their website design. Most of these are interior design agencies or furniture manufacturers and/or vendors, but there are a few that are not.
Household Items in Web Design
Zara Home
Zara's home furnishings department has chosen to showcase a stunningly beautiful bedroom on a bright sunny morning.
Go Modern
This site sells very modern furniture, but to navigate to the item of your choice, everything is in a somewhat retro monochromatic color scheme.
Domaine Furniture
This Chinese site also showcases very modern furniture. They use a slideshow and some transparency on their home page.
B&B Italia
This Italian furniture design company uses a slideshow of their designs with photographs that are taken close-up at some unusual angles. The whole site is beautifully designed.
Welly Lai
As you can see, the pinboard-style layout trend has not passed the interior design industry by!
RGR Design Associates
This site design is beautifully simple, minimal and stylish.
Berlin Rodeo Interior Concepts
Another example of a full screen slideshow on the landing page. This company designs interiors for both domestic and commercial clients, so there is a very nice mix of images.
LLI Design
A very minimal, clean landing page with a large image slide show, a navigation menu, logo… and that's it!
This interior design company uses a halftone screen on the images included in the full screen slide show. They use huge title text that is slightly transparent.
This French design company uses a pinboard-style layout on the home page. The interesting thing about the transitions on this page are that the direction of the transition is dictated by the direction you move the mouse.
Louise Bradley
This interior designer uses a transparent block over a full screen background slide show that features just three images of some very close-up shots of furniture items.
Maria Gubina
Another interior designer using a full screen slide show. This site incorporates hollow buttons and some white transparency. Notice the absolutely huge wallclock in the screenshot below!
Stopka Furniture
This site uses a full screen slide show with some beautiful images that have a black transparent layer to help the large white title text stand out on every image.
This company produces a range of cookware. The full screen background image has some animation on the flames of the grill.
This Australian manufacturer of wood furniture has a very minimal website, which reflects the minimal/retro style of their products.
Wooster Hound
This is the site of a head-hunting agency. They use a full screen image of just about every hunting tool you can imaging – including a dog!
The Uplay Lounge
This site is brought to you by Ubisoft, the console games company. The full width image has an armchair with a couple of console controllers on it.
Matthew Cox
This British antiques dealer has pushed the boundaries of his well-established business, and his minimal website design no doubt helps him in his ventures.
This is Paper
This ecommerce site sells products that are made from sustainable materials. The use a full width slide show on an otherwise minimal home page.
This website uses large blocks of bright but retro colors, as well as a very retro typewriter and sewing machine.
Considering household items are all around us and we have easy access to them, they are not very frequently used in imagery in website design unless they are items being designed or sold by the company.
Have you come across any sites that use household items in their design, or have you designed such a site? Please share your opinions and links with us in the comments section below.

PC Pr0n: 25 New, Kick-Ass Case Mods
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:01 PM PDT
A kick-ass case mod makes for a kick-ass PC. It's that simple. No matter whether you're rocking a Sandy Bridge-E or a Celeron, a water-cooled, LED-lit, hand-tailored and custom milled chassis stops traffic and sets lips a-whistlin' like nobody's business, proverbs about books and their covers be damned.
The past six months have seen a flood of truly outstanding case mods hit the Interwebz. So we decided to take the time to showcase the best of the best in recent memory -- with a little extra help from master modder Bill Owen of MNPCTech, Case Mod Blog, Mod Men and Maximum PC Star Trek PC fame. Because who knows the cream of the crop better than one of the cream of the crop?
The first 10 mods come hand-picked from Bill himself, while we rounded out the rest of the gallery with even more eye-catching case mods, including six that were chronicled in our very own Maximum PC Modder's Workshop forum. Click on a pic to get an expanded view of it, or hit the links underneath the images to see in-progress work logs of the builds. Enjoy the eye candy!
Native Steam For Linux Client Seen At Valve HQ, Could Be Coming Soon
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 10:53 AM PDT
Love gaming on Linux but don't have a taste for Wine? Look for a nice hot helping of Steam-brewed titles to come to the rescue sometime in the future. After a couple of years of rumors -- and denials -- that Valve was working on a Linux port of its blockbuster Steam service, it looks like the project is actually happening. Valve recently invited Mike Larabel, the man behind the Phoronix website for Linux lovers, out to the company's offices to give him a glimpse of the Steam for Linux in action.
Larabel's reporting of the experience is getting hammered and is only available intermittently, but here it is in a nutshell: Larabel was able to boot up an early, working version of Steam and Left 4 Dead 2 on Ubuntu while he was visiting Valve. The game loaded natively with the AMD Catalyst Linux driver -- no Wine conversion necessary. Larabel reports the company plans on porting other Valve titles to run natively on Linux and is bugging the developers of other Steam-offered games into doing the same, but the initial public beta version of Steam for Linux -- which Larabel says "is not too far out" -- could be limited to L4D2 alone.
Apparently, Gabe Newell himself has taken the lead on the Linux project to get it up off the ground, and he's been screening and hiring Linux OpenGL devs recommended by Larabel. The upcoming release of Windows 8 may be hastening matters; Larabel says that Newell's negativity for Windows 8 is "stunning."
Could we really see a basic version of Steam for Linux later this year? Valve has yet to comment on the report. Larabel and Phoronix have stellar reputations, though, so we're crossing our fingers and holding out hope.

Almost Half Of All Used Hard Drives Contain Info From Previous Owners
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 10:26 AM PDT
Getting to know your neighbors better used to involve a lot of legwork: heading next door for dinner, chatting over the fence, signing up for the Neighborhood watch, et cetera. The times, they are a-changin', though, and a new study commissioned by Britain's Information Commissioner's Office suggests that these days, all you have to do to understand your fellow man is buy a used hard drive. Almost half of all used hard drives tested by the organization still contained information from their previous owners.
By "almost half," we mean a whopping 48 percent. A full 11 percent of the hard drives contained personal information, while 3 percent of the 200 drives tested contained really, really personal information, including copies of passports, resumes, tax info, birth certificates, driver's licenses, health information and full bank details. Some of drives originally came from businesses; everyday folks weren't just scanning birth certificates into PCs.
"At least two of the hard drives contained enough information to enable someone to steal the former owner's identity," the ICO press release noted starkly. The agency also released a report of their findings. [PDF]
Of the 52 percent of drives that didn't contain information from the previous owner, only 38 percent of them were actually wiped; the other 14 percent were damaged and unreadable, highlighting one of the major risks of buying used technology.
"We live in a world where personal and company information is a highly valuable commodity," says ICO Commissioner Christopher Graham. "It is important that people do everything they can to stop their details from falling into the wrong hands."
You know what? We agree. Wipe your hard drives when you're done with them, folks. Check out this handy-dandy article to see how to completely erase your hard drives, SSDs and thumb drives.
New PowerColor HD7870 Eyefinity 6 Is The First Radeon 7870 To Support Six Screens
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 10:05 AM PDT
For a lot of Maximum PCers, a single monitor just won't cut it. But if fragging n00bs and juggling spreadsheets is better on two screens, wouldn't it be even better on three? Now imagine how mind-blowing gaming would be on six screens. Actually, don't imagine it -- do it! TUL's new PowerColor HD7870 Eyefinity 6 is the first 7870 Radeon graphics card capable of pulling of a sextuplet of screens.
Of course, some six-display Radeon 7900 series cards have already hit the streets -- *cough* -- but the PowerColor HD7870 Eyefinity 6 is the first current-generation midrange AMD card to pull off a half-dozen screens. Then again, if you're plopping down the cash for six monitors, the extra $50 to $150 bucks for a Radeon 7900 might be money well spent for higher frame rates if you plan on getting into gaming.
The card uses six DisplayPort connections to pull off the feat. Spec-wise, the PowerColor HD7870 Eyefinity 6 sticks to stock reference speeds, so it rocks a 1GHz GPU and 2GB of GDDR5 memory tootling along at 1,200MHz (4,800MHz effective). No word on pricing or availability, but most Radeon 7870 cards fall in the $330 to $380 price range.
Proposed CISPA Amendment Would Give DHS Unprecedented Access to Web Traffic
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 07:33 AM PDT
If you haven't been paying attention to CISPA, or Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, it's time you started doing so. It's a bill that, according to many, is every bit as controversial as SOPA and PIPA were, and that was before a proposed amendment written by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) upped the ante by giving the Department of Homeland Security's Janet Napolitano a scary amount of authority to "intercept" online communications.
Here's the part you need to digest:
"In receiving information authorized to be shared with the Federal Government under this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security is authorized, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to acquire, intercept, retain, use, and disclose communications and other system traffic transiting to or from or stored on Federal systems and to deploy countermeasures with regard to such communications and system traffic for cybersecurity purposes..."
As CNet points out, this would give DHS authority to snoop all networks owned by the federal government or operated on its behalf, such as AT&T and Verizon. Networks operated by the FBI and even the White House are all fair game. So are your IRS tax returns.
In order to tap into such networks, DHS would have to deem that it's "reasonably necessary" to do so, which privacy advocates undoubtedly will find a bit too broad in scope. The same applies to pre-amended versions of CISPA -- it's just too broad and vague.
Nevertheless, CISPA's authors are confident the bill will pass when it's put up for a vote this Friday, according to Mashable.
"We've gone through most of the privacy concerns expressed by privacy and civil liberties communities and by technology companies like Facebook," said Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), according to Mashable. "They have been very good working with us on language to get the bill to a point that helps them protect users and protect their civil liberties."
You can read the amendment in its entirety here (PDF).

Hewlett-Packard Rolls Out Half a Dozen Updated Ivy Bridge Desktops Starting at $700
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:48 AM PDT
It's funny to think that Hewlett-Packard came within an inch of selling off or otherwise severing its PC division until Meg Whitman replaced Léo Apotheker as CEO -- who, as BusinessInsider once reported, had "totally lost control of HP" -- and quickly restored order. Had Mr. Apotheker held onto his job, HP would be focusing on software and printers (probably in that order) and wouldn't be rolling out half a dozen new and updated PCs built around Intel's impressive Ivy Bridge architecture.
In the end, HP decided it would be crazy to walk away from PCs, and to help maintain its lead in the worldwide market place, HP added six updated models to its consumer desktop portfolio, each one powered by Intel's 3rd generation Core processor line.
Going in order of price, it starts with the HP Pavilion HPE h8t, a stand-alone desktop that sells for $700. Sitting one peg up is the HPE h8xt for $800. Both the TouchSmart 520xt and Omni 220qd all-in-one desktops start at a grand, the latter with Beats Audio baked in. The HP Pavilion HPE Phoneix h9t ($1,150 and up) and HP Omni 27qd all-in-one PC ($1,200 and up) with a 27-inch display round out the list.

Shh! Firefox 12 Brings Silent Updates
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:33 AM PDT
On Tuesday, Firefox 12 became the latest stable version of Mozilla's flagship browser. As is typical in this age of short development cycles, Firefox 12 does not contain a whole lot of new functionality, but just the odd feature or two worth writing home about. Hit the jump for more.
Mozilla spent the development period leading up to this release mainly on improving the Firefox update experience. As a result, Firefox now has the ability to update itself automatically and silently. This is not only significant from the point of user experience, but is also aimed at remedying the fragmentation that mars Firefox's install base. In case you want to turn off this feature, it's easy to do so from Options > Advanced > Updates.
"We put a lot of work into making the Firefox update experience easier," Mozilla said in a blog post yesterday. "Firefox simplifies the update process for Windows users by removing the user account control dialog (UAC) pop-up while maintaining the security of your system. Once a user gives explicit permission to Firefox on their first installation, they will not be prompted again for subsequent releases."
If you are a developer, there's plenty to look forward to as Mozilla has made over 85 improvements to the browser's built-in developer tools.
Lenovo Expands Recall of ThinkCentre All-in-One Desktops to 13,000 Additional PCs
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:20 AM PDT
Don't you hate it when your PC literally goes up in smoke? If that's never happened to you, then congratulations, you've either been wise and insisted on purchasing quality, name brand power supplies, a little bit lucky, or both. A shoddy power supply can fry itself on a whim. We've seen it happen, and lest there be any doubt that it can still pose a problem, Lenovo has decided to expand its voluntary recall of ThinkCentre desktops due to a faulty power supply that can overheat and pose a fire hazard.
Lenovo recalled 50,500 ThinkCentre all-in-one (AIO) desktops last month and is adding another 13,000 PCs to the list. There have been two separate reports of smoldering PSUs among the recalled models to date, including one report of a "fire incident" and another one that went up in smoke. Injuries were not reported in either case.
Affected models include M70z and M90z all-in-one desktops with the following date codes:
Potentially faulty ThinkCentre desktops were sold online at Lenovo's websites, by telephone, and via direct sales through authorized distributors across the U.S. from May 2012 through March 2012. All of them were manufactured in Mexico.
If you think your system is on the list, Lenovo recommends unplugging the PC and contacting the company at (855) 248-2194 or visiting www.lenovo.com/aiopsurecall to get a replacement PSU. If you contacted Lenovo regarding the March 2012 recall, the company recommends checking back to see if your system is among the expanded models.

Boisterous HTC Starts 2012 in a Slump
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:02 AM PDT
HTC was once the life of the party in the Android camp. By jumping on the open source train early on, HTC rode off into the sunset in a position seemingly more lucrative than being in the business of printing money. And now? Well, for HTC's sake, let's hope the first quarter of 2012 isn't a sign of things to come. Amid increasing competition from Apple and Samsung, HTC on Tuesday reported a 70 percent decline in first quarter profit. For those of you keeping count, it's the second consecutive time HTC posted a sequential drop.
Revenue for the first quarter slipped to NT$67.79 billion (~US$2.3 billion), down more than a third -- 34.3 percent -- sequentially and 34.9 percent from one year ago. Time to hit the panic button? Not if you're HTC.
Looking ahead, HTC said it expects to fully recover and pull NT$105 billion (~$3.5 billion) in the second quarter of 2012, a bold prediction but one that isn't far off from projections by industry analysts. Whether or not HTC gets there, however, rests on the success of the HTC One, which company CEO Peter Chou is banking on being a fan favorite in the U.S. market.

MOUNT Gambier man Gordon Hamm won $6000 while gambling the night before he was abducted and murdered in western Victoria, a court has heard.
Mr Hamm, 34, was forcibly removed from his car and bashed, then put into another car at Nelson, in Victoria's far-west just over the SA border, in July last year.
His body has never been found.
Mt Gambier men Mark James Moreland, 35, and Christopher Tippens, 29, have been charged with murder and face a committal hearing in Warrnambool next Monday.
A third Mt Gambier man, Tai Thorp, 21, has been charged with being an accessory to murder and perverting the course of justice, and was today denied bail.
Homicide detective Aaron Roche told the Melbourne Magistrates Court police had evidence the three men were involved in the distribution of the drug ice in Mt Gambier.
He said Mr Hamm won $6000 the night before he disappeared.
The court also heard Mr Hamm owed drug dealers up to $100,000.
Detective Senior Constable Roche said Thorp made a false report to police and his girlfriend provided a false alibi on the night of the murder.
In denying Thorp bail, Magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg said he was an unacceptable risk of reoffending.

Intelligence Failures
American diplomats and the CIA in Nigeria knew that the suspect in the attempted Christmas Day plane bombing had texted his father from Yemen, telling his father that he had found the "real Islam" and was never coming back. Also the National Security Administration knew Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen were talking about using a Nigerian man for an attack. So did the National Counterterrorism Center, which is supposed to coordinate intelligence, have those two pieces of information and did it fail to link them? Mark Mazzetti, who covers the CIA for the New York Times, is our guest.
The End of The Decade
Cultural commentator Michael Hirschorn reflects on the past decade that started with the Y2K scare and ended with a financial implosion. He wrote about the Aughts for New York magazine. Did you emerge from this decade a winner or a loser? Hirshorn says that answer has something to do with how you view the internet.
Champagne under the Microscope
Scientists say there are 20 million bubbles in a champagne bottle. The bubbles come from the carbon dioxide (CO2) in alcohol, but it takes microscopic lint in your glass for them start working. And each bubble is working to effect the taste, aroma, and experience of that sip. We'll speak with Robert Lee Hotz, science columnist for the Wall Street Journal, who calls CO2 the drinkable greenhouse gas.

Various Jazz Styles - CD Reviews
On his debut effort as a solo artist, New York City-based alto saxophonist Curtis MacDonald doesn't blaze new trails, but offers a holistic agenda that probes the mind and offers a hearty glimpse into his compositional acumen. One of the constants here resides in his penchant for adjusting tonalities and mode of delivery for a particular segment or motif. In essence, these arrangements are designed with firmly planted emotive characteristics.With regal horns choruses and subtle hues, MacDonal

This quartet provides a many-sided viewpoint, where freedom of expression is laconically aligned with the avant-garde strata. Stationed in Chicago, the quartet led by alto saxophonist Aram Shelton offers a program consisting of subtle hooks, detours and focused theme-building exercises. Engineered upon straightforward bop, capacious improvisation, and numerous subplots, the quartet throttles the intensity level throughout.

These veteran Italian improvisers convey freedom of expression with a musical panorama that scales rather well. One of the compelling factors on this live recording pertains to the band's ability to expand themes and subplots without concentrating on one mode of action. With capacious and unrestricting dialogues to complement a myriad of asymmetrical rhythmic variations, the musicians inject dainty contrasts and temperate flows into the grand schema.Saxophonist Edoardo Marraffa's raspy voicing

The improvisation is at times minimalist in scope, yet the continually moving parts equate into a polytonal feast for one's psyche.Coxhill performs on his customary soprano saxophone and counters Turner's bells hits, rim-shots, tom tom patterns and colorific integration of small percussion impl

To augment drums, bells and cymbals, Zach employs a gran cassa, which is a horizontal bass drum, housing a resonating membrane that spawns an array of metrics and tones.

Saudi Arabian man sentenced to 10 years in prison for dancing naked on the roof of a car. Before he can get started on his time in jail however, he will also receive 2,000 lashes, court official said. Just to ensure he really gets the message, he will also be hit in the wallet with a $13,000 fine for the act.
Reported by Gulf News, the act took place at a camp where it's clear that the "what happens at camp, stays at camp" rule was broken as a video of the Saudi "birthday suit" dance was circulated on the internet.
The nude Saudi dancer wasn't alone. Two other men were also sentenced for being involved in the pants-off, dance-off party. The lesser punishments were handed to the two men, one in the amount of seven years and 2,000 lashes and the other in the amount of two to five years and 1,200 lashes.
While the defendants have the right to appeal, the prosecutor has already stated that he thinks the ruling was too lenient.

Luke doesn't use the force. At least, not as much as his brother did.
Luke Egener, the younger sibling of former Calgary Hitmen policeman Mike, relies more on skill than brute strength.
With just four penalty minutes through 15 games, the Vancouver Giants rookie blueliner won't approach his brother's 704 career PIM, a Hitmen franchise record.
"I'm a totally different player than Mike," the 6-ft. 160-pounder said.
"I'm probably a little more offensive. Mike was a little looney tunes out there. He liked to drop 'em."
Luke said he's received plenty of invitations to dance from opponents who read the name on the back of his jersey.
"Yeah, there's some chirping going on," he said. "I'll drop the gloves if I have to, to defend a teammate or something like that, but it's not a big part of my game."
The 16-year-old Calgarian prepared for his first WHL campaign by working out with his brother at the National Sports Development centre.
"We had a few other guys working out with us at first but they stopped coming," Luke said. "We decided we can push each other on our own."
Luke said Mike didn't offer a lot of advice.
"He just told me to play my game," Luke said.
"I'm only 16, so he said to enjoy this for what it is and worry about making a difference out there as the years go on. And he said to work hard. There'll be times when you're down and things aren't going well but if you work hard, you'll get through it."
He keeps in touch with Mike, who is playing with Tampa Bay's AHL affiliate in Springfield, by e-mail.
The younger Egener played one game as a 15-year-old last season, when the Giants visited the Hitmen.
So, even though he's a rookie, he had already got past playing in his hometown prior to Sunday's game at the 'Dome.
"It's awesome," he said after the Hitmen dumped his Giants 7-2.
"All my family and friends are here. It's good to see them after a couple of months."
Making the jump from a midget 15-year-old league to the WHL hasn't been as difficult as he anticipated.
"I'm just concentrating on developing on my own," he said.
"I can't bring myself down to the level I was playing at last year.
"I'm just working on my own game."

Rebelling against the man became a played-out cliché that doesn't inspire any actual action. Pop-punk is the only bearer of the word these days, and that's just really hyper pop music. Punk, really and truly this time, is on its last legs.
But it's not totally dead, as long as The Ex is around. Formed in 1979 and performing and releasing continuously since then, the Dutch punk band still seeks to be countercultural in any way possible. On their latest, "Catch My Shoe," they succeed. Because popular punk songs are fast, melody-laden and short, the band wrote nine long, slow, dissonant tunes that comprise an album that clocks in just short of an hour. They use horns liberally, often as their dissonance creators. In short, this sounds all wrong, weird and unusual.
Which is exactly how punk is supposed to sound.
It helps that, after 20 years in this current incarnation (with the exception of a brand-new lead singer for this release), they really know each other. These songs have an almost palpable chemistry running through them, as the members play off each others' strengths. The best example of this is the near-seven-minute "Bicycle Illusion," which skates through on not much more than tom rolls, intermittently strummed rhythm guitar, a low-key guitar melody and roiling bass until the four-minute mark, when it speeds up and gets skronky (they have some jazz background; note the horns). It sounds excellent, but it's not a song that most bands would be able to pull off. The Ex can, and the album is all the better for it.
The vocalist is solid, too, cranking out the righteous fury without being grating ("Maybe I Was the Pilot," "Double Order"). The only problem with the album is while each song is fantastic individually, it's a bit much to take all in one hour-long sitting. The whole album starts to overwhelm the mind a bit around the last two tunes. It's sad, because "Life Whining," one of the fastest and most recognizably punk tunes here, is great. But after 40 minutes of grinding, dissonant punk, it's tough to take it in.
And that's part of the point. Punk can still be the obnoxious, rebellious, convention-breaking genre it always was. It's just not the desire of most bands any more, and that's sad. But The Ex are holding up their end of the deal, and they've cranked out brilliant tunes to fit inside their genre-affirming musical statements. An excellent release. —Stephen Carradini

Dr. Tim Vanderveen
As vice president of the CareFusion Center for Safety and Clinical Excellence, Dr. Tim Vanderveen is responsible for directing clinical, educational and research activities related to medication safety. Dr. Vanderveen, who was awarded the 2011 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation Laufman-Greatbach Prize for his accomplishments in leading innovations in IV infusion pump safety, holds a master's degree from Purdue University School of Pharmacy and a PharmD degree from the Medical University of South Carolina. You can read more of Dr. Vanderveen's perspectives on medication management at http://www.carefusion.com/safety-clinical-excellence/ [1] .
Anesthesia professionals in the operating room have a unique role and responsibility in that they are the only medical personnel who prescribe, secure, prepare, administer, and document medications—a process that can require more than 40 steps—usually within a very short time interval. While advances in safer medication therapy, such as bar code medication administration (BCMA), have been shown to help nurses administer IV medications, many of these systems do not fit the workflow for anesthesiologists. The checks and balances that function well outside the OR may not exist in anesthesia practice. Although published evidence of medication errors in the OR is limited, there have been some studies that demonstrate error occurrence and risk.Consider the following:
- In 1984, medication errors were reported as a leading cause of adverse events during anesthesia.1
- In 2001, one drug administration error was reported for every 133 anesthetics administered.2
- More recently, the United States Pharmacopeia's MEDMARX database identified nearly 3,300 medication errors in U.S. operating rooms from 1998 to 2005. At a recent Anesthesiology Patient Safety Foundation (ASPF) board of directors workshop, a high percentage of anesthesiologists indicated they or a colleague had been involved in a serious adverse drug event. Sixty percent of respondents acknowledged that among a list of safety initiatives, safer medication practices was the most likely to increase safety in the OR. In addition, there was close to unanimous support for drug standardization and premix/prefilled medications.
Since its founding over 25 years ago, the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) has focused on implementing safe anesthesia practices. In response to growing awareness of medication errors in the OR, the APSF has advocated a new campaign, "Medication Safety in the Operating Room – Time for a New Paradigm." In much the same way that improvements in aviation safety practices have advanced safe air travel, the APSF is advocating for a team approach that includes four pillars – standardization, technology, pharmacy, and culture.
As an APSF board member and a pharmacist involved in medication safety, I am excited to announce the release of a new video that focuses on improving medication safety in the OR [2]. This video discusses the medication safety issue, discuses the four pillars and provides examples of model practices initiated by anesthesia departments. Distribution of this video is made possible through an unrestricted grant from CareFusion. You can also download a similar video [3] by APSF and the ECRI Institute focusing on preventing OR fires.
To watch the streaming video or obtain your own copy of the DVD, please visit the APSF online [4]. Or, very soon you can contact your local CareFusion sales or clinical representative to receive your copy.

The path from the information centre is initially flat with a hard bitumen surface. There is a short, 20 metre section that is steep with a gradient of approximately gradient of 1 in 7. Once past that section the path remains at less than a 1 in 14 gradient right through to the log cabin visual display building.
Path to Visual Display Centre
The entry to this building is wide and the left hand room provides good access. The aisle down beside the seating is wide and there is an area at the front for wheelchair visitors. The paths immediately around the building are flat hard packed fine gravel.
Outside and inside the Visual Display Centre
From the log cabin visual display building there is a choice to return back the same way or to take the sealed path to the gallery and upper sculptures. The path leading to the upper road has sections with a gradient of 1 in 4.
Before the main road is a path off to the left accessing the sculptures "Brute" and "Long Beard". This path is also sealed and the gradients are less than 1 in 14.
Path to Long Beard
The final section of the path to the main road is steep with an approximate gradient of 1 in 5. The road to the main gallery is steep again with an approximate gradient of 1 in 4. The road back to the information centre has gradients as steep as 1 in 10 with the final section approximately 1 in 7. "Earthly Mother" is only accessible via steps but can be seen from the main road.

It didn't take long for Carmelo Anthony to announce that he was back on Wednesday night.
The ball found its way to his hands on the Knicks' first possession and Anthony let fly with a three-pointer that found nothing but the bottom of the net. The shot looked smooth, Anthony moved back down on defense without any sign of lingering pain and the Knicks would never trail on their way to a 106-94 win that kept them in first place by themselves.
It wasn't an entirely stress-free win over the woeful Magic, who were able to make it a game in the fourth quarter, but it was as close to one as they have had in weeks. Anthony looked like himself, hitting 7-of-14 shots and allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief about the status of the team's best player after he missed six of the last eight games.
Despite the reams of evidence to the contrary, it has somehow remained a theme among some Knicks fans that the team is somehow better without Anthony on the floor but the fact is that the Knicks aren't winning the Atlantic Division without having his offensive skills at their disposal. He wasn't otherworldly on Wednesday night, but he was healthy and that alone is enough to make the load feel a little lighter.
It helps that the rest of the team also seems to have learned some lessons about life with so many bodies sidelined by injuries. The lax defense and listless effort from early in the road trip have given way to a much better approach over the last three games.
They may be too undersized to get anything done on the glass, but they are rotating crisply and stopping teams from taking easy trips to the hoop. That makes a big difference, as does a renewed attention to moving the ball on offense enough to find more open shots than contested jumpers.
Playing Pablo Prigioni for more minutes seems to be helping on that front and J.R. Smith has limited his head-slapping moments to the bare minimum, which shows a welcome evolution after weeks of the same old problems cropping up every single night.
You don't want to make too much out of wins over the Jazz and Magic, but it does seem that the Knicks have settled a situation that looked as if it was about to get totally out of hand.
These being the Knicks, there was still an injury scare. Iman Shumpert didn't play after halftime after he heard a pop in his surgically repaired left knee.
Shump's game has shown signs of coming around of late, which makes the timing of this pop quite bad indeed. It seems that a bullet has been dodged, all reports are that Shumpert's doing just fine now, and that he should be back in the lineup soon enough.
With a back-to-back against the Raptors on Friday and Saturday, the Knicks get two more chances to pick up wins before the competition steps back up with a trip to Boston. These are essential wins for playoff position, making it all the better that the Melo the Knicks know and love is back on the court.

Vikings finish third at invitational
State powerhouse Waukesha West won the eight-team event with 1623 points, while defending Badger Conference champion Verona finished second at 1452. Host Parker finished third with 123 points in the 10th annual running of the invite.
�It went about the way I expected,� Parker coach Dave Lehmann said. �Those two teams that finished ahead of us are very talented, and I knew it would be tough to crack the top two.
�We had a great meet with a lot of PR times and distances. That�s what you want to see.�
Parker had two individual winners as Shelby Demos won the high jump at 5-foot-0, and Kylie Simonson captured the long jump with a leap of 14-6. The Vikings� 800-relay team of Niquisha Kenerson, Emily Mauermann, Kaynesha Zinn and Kelsey Jones also ran to victory in 1 minute, 50.6 seconds.
�That 800 relay team wasn�t even seeded first, so that was a really great job by them in winning the event,� Lehmann said.
�There were a lot of great athletes competing here tonight, so to win a medal means you did a nice job. It�s too bad the weather wasn�t the greatest, but we got the meet in and we finished on schedule.�
A pair of meet records were tied. Beloit�s 400-relay team ran a 50.8 to tie the record set by Waukesha West in 2006.
In the pole vault, Danielle Carrigan of Waukesha West cleared 10 feet to tie the mark of Liz Grode of Westosha Central set in 2003.
Demos, a junior, finished second in both of the hurdle events.
She ran a 15.81 in the 100 high�s to finish just behind Niki Parker of Verona who crossed in 15.8. In the 300 low hurdles, Demos (49.6) was second to Jenna Rozek of Franklin, who won in 48.0.
Parker will return to action on Tuesday when it faces crosstown rival Janesville Craig and Madison West, in a Big Eight Conference triple dual.
�We�re starting to get a little bit healthier,� Lehmann said.
�Hopefully, the weather will be decent on Tuesday and we�ll have a good day to run.
�Craig is always our biggest dual meet of the season.�

Fandango Wants to Compete on 'DWTS'
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, Cable, Dancing With The Stars, Features,
WWE Superstar Fandango wants to be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
The 32-year-old wrestler is a fan of the program and if the opportunity arose to compete on the ballroom show he'd jump at the chance. Fandango - who uses ballroom dance moves in the ring and is always accompanied by his "dancing partner" Summer Rae - first got into the series when fellow WWE Superstar Chris Jericho competed on it in 2011. When asked if he'd like to compete on the series, Fandango told BANG Showbiz, "I would like to give it a go, I just need the right partner - maybe a lingerie model! I've watched Dancing with the Stars, I watched when Chris Jericho was on it, I think it's cool. It's always cool to see the stars - whether they're a football player or an actor, an actress, a model, whatever - put into that situation of crunch training to try and win the show. How they deal with the pressures and their egos of not being really good at it is interesting to see."

Brooke Burke-Charvet Won't Return as 'DWTS' Co-Host
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements, News,
Talk about a surprise elimination!
Dancing with the Stars co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet announced late last night that she won't be returning as a co-host for the dancing competition's 18th season.
Despite having served as the reality show's co-host for eight seasons, Brooke broke the surprising news on her Twitter: "Weird day ... Shocking pre-season elimination #DWTS …ME. Tom Bergeron didn't even read my name... I won't be returning to the show this season."
A confirmation of the news was given by the show's executive producer Conrad Green, who wrote in a statement, "We can confirm that Brooke Burke-Charvet will not be joining us next season... She's been a wonderful part of the Dancing with the Stars family since her triumphant win in season seven and will unquestionably be missed by our entire team. We'd like to thank Brooke for her years of great service."

Renee Zellweger Set for 'Dancing with the Stars'?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, Rumors,
Renee Zellweger is being lined-up to appear on Dancing with the Stars.
Bosses for the reality show are keen to pull out all of the stops for the next season by choosing celebrity contestants who have all won Oscars, and they believe securing Renee - who took home the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in Cold Mountain in 2003 - will encourage other stars to sign up.
"Renee is being seen as the lynchpin contestant that would seal the deal for the theme season. The producers are fixated on Renee, in part because she hasn't done much dancing at all since Chicago more than 10 years ago and there's this real mystery about her and what she's up to. They keep raising the amount of money they are willing to give her in the hope that she'll say yes, and the theory is that if they can get her to sign on, then it would attract some other really prominent Oscar winning stars - who wouldn't normally do reality TV - to fall in step," a source said.
Ratings for the ABC program have decreased in recent seasons after producers only wanted celebrities with little dancing experience to take part, but they believe a talent like Renee's could boost viewings. "Now that the rule that stars had to be total dance novices has been broken, it opens the door wide for someone like Renee, who hoofed it in Chicago, to strut her stuff. The DWTS masterminds think the idea of having a theme of Oscar winners would be a sure ratings-grabber," the source explained.
Amber Riley Wins 'Dancing with the Stars'
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements, News,
Amber Riley has won Dancing with the Stars.
The Glee actress and her professional partner Derek Hough have taken home this year's mirrorball trophy after triumphing over High School Musical actor Corbin Bleu and his professional partner Karina Smirnoff with a perfect-scoring samba/quickstep fusion.
"Anything that scares me I want to do. You can do whatever, whatever, whatever you put your mind to," Amber said, speaking after the result was announced.
And despite coming second, Corbin was just delighted to have taken part: "I thank God for this experience. I thank my family."
Earlier in the evening, Jack Osbourne - whose sister Kelly came third on the show in 2009 - and his partner Cheryl Burke were eliminated into third place after the first round of dances. "I'm definitely not a better dancer than my sister, for one. We're both tied. Just going the distance for me was winning enough," he said.
Donald Driver Tops DWTS Leaderboard
Donald Driver topped the leaderboard on Dancing with the Stars last night. The NFL star and his professional partner Peta Murgatroyd wowed the judges during rock week, with their paso doble to Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" - which saw the sportsman dance topless - earning a total of 27 points.
"Muscular. Masculine. Magnificent!" said judge Bruno Tonioli.
Carrie Ann Inaba described the routine as "raunchy and spectacular," while Len Goodman teased, "After the show, we'll compare tattoos."
This week was the first time Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas have not topped the leaderboard, with the judges receiving boos from the audience - which included David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Rita Wilson - when they awarded the couple 24 points for their paso doble.
"It had promise but didn't quite deliver," Len told them.

Jack Wagner Leaves DWTS
Jack Wagner became the second contestant to leave the latest series of Dancing with the Stars last night.
The former General Hospital actor - who was tied for last place on 24 points with Sherri Shepherd, Gavin DeGraw, Melissa Gilbert and Gladys Knight on Tuesday's show - was a surprise elimination from the competition with either Gavin or Melissa expected to be sent home. Before the results were announced, head judge Len Goodman suggested producers "roll it over to next week because no one deserves to go home tonight."

Martina Navratilova Voted Off DWTS
Martina Navratilova became the first contestant to leave the latest series of Dancing with the Stars last night.
The 55-year-old tennis legend - who made up the bottom two with 35-year-old singer Gavin DeGraw - blamed herself for her exit, saying she "blew it" on the show on Monday night after struggling with her jive.
"I gave it everything I had, but I blew it yesterday and it cost me, unfortunately. Hopefully I get to the do the jive the last week here. I look forward to coming back and I wish everybody good luck. It was an amazing experience. I just wish that it had lasted longer," she said.
The judges were also unimpressed with Martina and professional partner Tony Dovolani's performance with Len Goodman saying it was "too careful" and "insular" while Bruno Tonioli added, "My darling, I think that serve went into the net."

Katherine Jenkins Tops DWTS Leader Board
Katherine Jenkins topped the leader board on Dancing with the Stars last night.
The Welsh opera singer and her dancing partner scored 26 out of 30 for her jive performance, with judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli awarding her nine and head judge Len Goodman giving her eight. "I loved the start, the whole end section - the middle section wasn't really my cup of tea. It was wild and wacky," Len said, commenting on their dance.
Bruno claimed he loved it for its "sexiness. The blonde bombshell is unleashed. I know sexy when I see it and you've got it."

The Milwaukee Art Museum came into being in 1957, when two local art groups merged. These originated in the 1880s, the thriving port of Milwaukee forging a City of diverse immigrant cultures. Today, the museum's situation on Lake Michigan reminds of Milwaukee's industrial past. The two buildings that make up the current spaces – designed by Saarinen and Calatrava respectively – remind of Milwaukee's world class collections.
While I'm particularly drawn to the American Decorative Arts installations (driven by cooperative work with the Chipstone foundation), MAM also delivers well thought out contemporary exhibitions. Above is a video of Calatrava's magnificent wings in full flight.
