A look at acts breaking at radio and retail and entering Billboard charts. This week: Lacuna Coil, James Otto, Venus Hum.
ITALIAN IMPORTS: Lacuna Coil [1] launched a U.S. tour this week, about a year after the Italian metal act released its third album, "Comalies." While the group is far from a household name, the trek will celebrate one of the larger success stories in underground metal this year.
Lacuna Coil's theatrical, goth-leaning metal, accentuated with flamboyant keyboard arrangements and alternating male/female vocals, found a receptive audience in the Eastern U.S. Boston, in particular, where homegrown acts such as Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage have ignited a passion for indie metal, became one of the larger champions of the group. The city's WAAF has been playing the single "Heaven's a Lie," and invited the group to perform at its September festival, alongside Staind and Sevendust.
"Heaven's a Lie," with its horror soundtrack keyboards running circles around pounding guitars, stands out with the contrasting vocals of Christina Scabbi and Andrea Ferro. The two pass the song back and forth, with Ferro's anguished yell representing the frustration that Scabbi's lighter, vocal operatics only hint at. If Scabbi rides the melody, Ferro stabs at it.
Other radio stations throughout the country have started to pick up the song, including stations in Milwaukee and Grand Rapids, Mich. The band recently shot a new video for the song, and the clip should debut on MTV2 and Fuse later this year. In addition to the success of "Heaven's a Lie," Lacuna Coil has spent the past year stretching its fanbase and building credibility by touring with such acts as Opeth, Anthrax and Type O Negative.
In one year, "Comalies," released by L.A.-based indie Century Media [2], has sold 31,000 units in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. It also gave Lacuna Coil its first album to reach any of Billboard's charts. The release peaked last month at No. 3 on the magazine's regional Heatseekers chart for the Northeast.
Lacuna Coil will be touring North America through Dec. 15.
OTTO THE GATE: Country singer James Otto [3] is making an impact right now on country radio, but his debut album won't be in stores until early 2004. It may have been able to be finished a little sooner, but then superstar Shania Twain entered the picture.
Otto, a former member of the U.S. Navy, had been toiling around the Nashville music scene since about 1998. A chance meeting with producer Scott Parker, who has worked with Yolanda Adams and Patty Loveless, among others, helped Otto break free from a future of singing in nameless cover bands.
The two went into the studio, and demos they recorded caught the attention of Mercury Nashville [4]. The label's Shania Twain like what she heard, and Otto went from playing Nashville clubs to Madison Square Garden in New York. Otto is on the road with Twain until she completes the U.S. leg of her tour next month.
The outing has given Otto, who counts James Taylor and Hank Williams among his major influences, instant mainstream exposure. His single, "Days of Our Lives [5]," debuted last week on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart at No. 61.
The piano-based ballad, co-written with Bobby Terry (Trace Adkins, Faith Hill), is slated to be the title track of Otto's first full-length, and it's flying off the shelves in country markets. The song entered Billboard's Hot Country Singles Sales tally at No. 4 last week.
Otto continues to work on his debut, which features production work from Parker and Mark Wright (Clint Black, Brooks & Dunn). A dozen of the album's songs are available for preview on Otto's official Web site.
HEAR THE HUM: Armed with a love of electronic music and show tunes, Annette Strean headed to Nashville as a budding songwriter. Strean, however, didn't have a whole lot of country in her, and met the like-minded Tony Miracle, who had built his own basement studio where he and pal Kip Kubin could explore their love of all things '80s.
This was essentially the genesis of electronic trio Venus Hum [6]. Formed in 1999, the group's electro-pop sound easily stood out in the Nashville scene. While the band's synth-driven tunes are drenched with '80s techno tricks, it's the vocals of Strean that help set Venus Hum apart. Even on the upbeat singles such as "Montana" and "Soul Sloshing" she sounds as if she's playing the role of Bjork in a Broadway show.
The band soon started attracting attention outside of Nashville. In the summer of 2002, the act performed at one of Larry Tee's Electroclash festivals in New York, and was later tapped to open for Stereolab at the group's Nashville date. The band released a self-titled debut and EP on independent Mono-Fi Records.
MCA Records [7] then snatched the band up to release "Big Beautiful Sky [8]" last spring. Outside of the Midwest, the album didn't make much noise, but the band's singles are starting to erupt on the club scene. Of course, that happened after the trio received a little help from the Blue Man Group, who tapped Venus Hum to appear on the single "I Feel Love," a song that was featured prominently in the season premiere of ABC's "Alias."
"Big Beautiful Sky" has yet to dent any of Billboard's major charts, but "I Feel Love" has spent five weeks on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, peaking at No. 11 last week. Further down, the trio's "Soul Sloshing" rests at No. 22.
Venus Hum will be touring with the Blue Man Group through the end of the month.

I know I'm a bit freaky, but there are a few things I just cannot tolerate to see chefs mix up or fry or use as a garnish. For me that's sacrilege.
One is beluga caviar. I don't care what people do with salmon roe or blackfish caviar, but if it's the "real" stuff -- prime beluga -- I don't want it sprinkled with chopped eggs or chopped onions, I don't want it plopped on top of sour cream on blinis, I don't want it atop an hors d'ouvre or garnishing something else. I want it on a plate or in a bowl all by itself with a nice mother of pearl spoon and maybe a flute of champagne on the side.
The other is sea urchin roe. I feel the same as I do about beluga. Anything you add to sea urchin roe diminishes it. And so does cooking it! And I don't want it to be more than two hours out of the ocean or the flavor will be off. Consequently I don't eat it in sushi bars unless the chef is still in his wet suit with his air tank strapped to his back..
Do any of you have foods that you cannot handle eating any other way than pristine with total solo flavor? I'm curious what they might be.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to see how oral preparations containing both probiotics and prebiotics impact the growth, bacterial colonization of the intestines, and fecal short chain fatty acid content in premature infants. Our hypothesis is that short term growth will be improved, the stool will have more healthy bacteria, and the fecal short chain fatty acid content will increase in the babies who receive the probiotic/prebiotic combinations compared to control groups.

Detailed Description:
Premature infants are at risk for a devastating infection of the intestines due to the immaturity of their intestines and immune system. Probiotics are bacteria with healthful qualities that are taken by mouth to improve the number of healthy bacteria in the intestines. Probiotics have been shown in several studies outside the U.S. to decrease the risk of serious intestinal infection and in one small study to improve the rate of weight gain in premature infants. Prebiotics are food supplements that stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria and suppress the growth of unhealthy bacteria. Prebiotics have been shown to improve the numbers of healthy bacteria in the stool of premature babies. Our study is designed to compare two over the counter probiotic/prebiotic combinations to each other and to a control group. Infants less than 35 weeks with a birthweight of 750-2000 gm are eligible and must be enrolled in the study within the first week of life. The babies are randomly assigned to either a control group (no probiotic/prebiotic, just a placebo), a group which receives Culturelle (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG plus fructo-oligosaccharide, ConAgra), or a group which receives ProBioPlus (three strains of Bifidobacteria plus Lactobacillus acidophilus plus fructo-oligosaccharide, UAS Laboratories). The babies receive the study product by mouth twice daily for 28 days or until discharge (whichever comes first). Weekly measurements (weight, length, head size) and stool cultures are performed. Clinical progress is closely monitored and any episodes of infection are recorded.

It's a big year for national parks. Last year, America's most beloved public lands welcomed a record 307 million visitors.
Why are those numbers likely to rise this year? The National Park Service has been banging a drum about its centennial year. The agency was created Aug. 25, 1916.
Parks have been busy scheduling lots of events and urging people to come and explore.
The almost 5% rise in visitors in 2015 included many national parks in the West — Joshua Tree, Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon — setting their own records.
And overnight stays in the parks, including hotels, cabins, camping and other lodgings, increased 6% over 2014.
Here are the 10 most popular national parks according to number of visitors. Most of them are in the West, so expect to see more people out and about if you're planning a visit anytime soon.
1. Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee
2. Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona
3. Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado
4. Yosemite National Park in California
5. Yellowstone National Park in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming
6. Zion National Park in Utah
7. Olympic National Park in Washington state
8. Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming
9. Acadia National Park in Maine
10. Glacier National Park in Montana
The National Park System includes 409 areas and units, which include national parks.
Here are the 10 most popular areas in the country:
1. Blue Ridge Parkway from North Carolina to Virginia
2. Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the Bay Area
3. Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee
4. Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
5. Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Arizona and Nevada
6. George Washington Memorial Parkway in the Washington, D.C., area
7. Gateway National Recreation Area in New York and New Jersey
8. Natchez Trace Parkway in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee
9. Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
10. Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona

Frequent Asked Questions
· Requirements
The programme caters for people with a variety of experience and backgrounds, and the entry requirements reflect this. Professional (not necessarily dance) experience, a first degree or other relevant qualifications are accepted and you must show strong motivation to undertake a dance studies programme to further your professional development. English Language Competency requirements also apply
What could be improved I honestly couldn't fault this diploma- I had an amazing time at a university I have always wanted to attend (and hope to return to one day) and I have become a more knowledgeable and confident dance teacher (and dancer) as a result. The only suggestion for improvement would be to allow SCONAL membership for DDTAL and other distance learning students- travelling into Greenwich for library books can become quite costly (and heavy) if you live beyond the M25. I was able to get alumni access at the university I attended for my Bachelors, but not everyone has that opportunity (also, that £30 I had to pay for alumni access would have really been better put to use on other course materials or resources for work). I understand that Laban doesn't want the dance campus subject to loads of other students piling in, but extending the SCONAL access from the Jerwood (music) campus to the distance learning/part time dance students would be extremely helpful.
Would you recommend this course? Yes.

"What these countries need to do in this time is develop the regional story around oil and gas, develop policy alignment across the region, particularly in terms of infrastructure," she said in an interview with CNBC Africa.
One of the major challenges identified by organisations in the oil and gas industry is that East African countries not only lack infrastructure and technical expertise, they also lack distinctive oil and gas policies.
"These countries need to revisit and restrategise their legislations," Brown added.
Moreover, some analysts have perceived that falling global crude prices could hamper the growth of discoveries in Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Mozambique.
(READ MORE: East African oil & gas discoveries stir global explorer interest)
Several of these countries have also emerged as some of the most prolific oil and gas exploration regions in the world over the last 10 years.
"In the short term there will be definitely be winners in terms of the current account. We have got countries in East Africa importing most of its oil," Brown said.
"In the long term though, this oil price slump comes at a time of rampant production, an increase in supply in the global oil market, and this restrains investment decisions from oil and gas companies."
Sarah Warren, a structured trade transactor at RMB recently stated that East African countries may not have to bear the negative impact of oil prices like other countries that are already producing oil.
"Oil producing communities obviously are the losers in this situation but if you look at the East Africa community, with the exploration progress of oil and gas, there could be some positive and negative impacts of the low oil price," she said.
(WATCH VIDEO: Has East Africa missed the oil & gas boom?)
Despite the falling crude prices, British firm, Tullow Oil has said they will continue their drilling and production activities in Kenya and Uganda.
"Our East African projects are long-term, multi-decade projects and variations in the oil price, which are expected over the life cycle of these very long-term projects, do not fundamentally change their value," Tullow said.

Florence Henderson, who starred on beloved '70s TV series The Brady Bunch, died on Thursday, November 24, at the age of 82, the Associated Press reports.
The Hollywood veteran died surrounded by family and friends, her manager said in a statement late Thursday.
Henderson, who played effervescent mom Carol Brady on the hit TV series, was most recently seen in the audience at the finale of Dancing With the Stars on Monday, November 21.
"She looked great," a source tells Us Weekly. "She was with a female friend or relative and was in the front row to the left of the judges."
The actress, singer and talk show host, who was a contestant on the ABC dancing competition in 2010, "enjoyed the show so much," the source adds. "Even the audience warm-up guy pointed her out as 'America's favorite mom' and everyone cheered for her. She was such a wonderfully nice lady."
The Indiana native started her career onstage and made her Broadway debut in Wish You Were Here in 1952. Ten years later she became the first woman to guest host The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson and later had a role on the Today show, doing weather and news.
Her best-known role came in 1969, when she made her debut on ABC's The Brady Bunch, as the mother of three daughters who married a man with three sons. The series ran for five years till 1974.
Henderson, who was married twice and had four children, went on to host a cooking show, cohosted NBC's Later Today and hosted her own talk show on Retirement Living TV.

In this rapid-fire Wayans brothers parody of modern musicals and their streetwise choreography, Thomas Uncles is a bright young African-American blessed with mad hip-hop hoofing skills. As the film gets under way, he's at a crossroads, feeling pressure to embrace inner-city thug life. Lucky for him, he's about to meet lily-white Megan White, a tortured soul from the suburbs who'd dreamt of Julliard until her mother's accidental death, for which Megan harbors guilt and can't bring herself to pirouette anymore. She moves to the big city to live with her deadbeat dad, befriends Thomas and his sister, Charity, and is invigorated by fresh urban rhythms as she spins, thrusts and glides her way out of the doldrums.
If that sounds a lot like the story arc for Save the Last Dance, it's because that racially charged Julia Stiles film provides the backbone for this crass comedy, which also riffs on Hairspray, Step Up, Stomp the Yard, High School Musical, You Got Served, Little Miss Sunshine, Dreamgirls and others.
Positive Elements
Thomas values a teammate's safety above winning a competition, and he insists that his friend not do a dangerous dance move. He encourages Megan to rediscover her love for dance. In turn, she tells him he's cut out for better things than he'll find on the streets.
Instructed by obese mobster Sugar Bear to carry out a drive-by shooting, Thomas refuses to participate and advises buddy A-Con to do the same. It could be argued that a string of absurd situations exposes two selfish teenage parents as immature and irresponsible, and suggests that babies deserve better care.
Spiritual Content
Thomas says, "I don't know why porn stars pray," and imagines God tuning them out because they offend Him. During an accusatory rant, he piles more guilt on Megan for causing her mother's death, adding, "God hates you!" A-Con wears a cross around his neck.
Sexual Content
Prurient stuff. Beyond the low-cut dresses and suggestive dance moves (at one point, Megan wears short shorts and bares her midriff for pole dancing), there's a lot of racy dialogue and intimations of characters sleeping together. Charity gives her number to a married guy, telling him she thinks his wedding ring is sexy. This unwed mother—who birthed her first child mid-breakdance—suggests to her absentee Baby Daddy that they have another one. At one point, female dancers sport comically exaggerated breasts and backsides, and a pair of disco balls dangle from a man's shorts.
The filmmakers ponder the question "What if Zac Efron's character in High School Musical had been gay?" Here, high school hoopster Jack (the coach's son) dances out of the closet to the tune of "Fame," changing the words to Irene Cara's hit in order to celebrate his homosexuality. This mini-production number sends him out of the gym and into the street to flirt with smitten men. Elsewhere he wants to play the role of Juliet and tells his clueless dad about his urges. Dad naively thinks he's interested in girls, and suggests that he lose his virginity to a prostitute so that his first time is "special."
In a nod to the finale of Twilight, Megan and Thomas prepare to consummate their friendship on prom night, both noting that sex should be shared by people planning to be together for a long time. (While that's better than a one-night stand, it's still a ring removed from God's plan of intimacy in marriage.) Thomas' dreams of medical school stem from a desire to see women naked, and he describes in tasteless detail what he looks forward to examining. Other jokes involve oral sex, condoms, lesbians, sodomy and an infant contracting a venereal disease.
Perverse adults include a randy high school guidance counselor, and Marlon Wayans as an acting teacher who kisses a male student on the mouth, then suggests that one be ready to do anything to get a part. Much is made of a female dance instructor's unusually large private region, which bulges beneath her leotard.
Violent Content
Heavy doses of physical comedy range from slapstick and crude sight gags to meanspirited abuse. While practicing ballet in the living room, Megan KO's her mother, little sister and the mailman with violent kicks to the face. A teacher slaps a student. Charity repeatedly whacks her infant son against a window while trying to pull him back into her apartment. A blind boy falls into an open manhole. Club Violent is where everyone goes to dance and where all the playas "go to get shot." Though none get fired, characters brandish guns in a threatening manner. A-Con uses his to rob a bunch of nightclubbers. Even Charity's baby packs heat.
Verbal abuse from a cruel dance instructor causes a young woman to commit suicide by leaping through a window. During a dangerous dance move, a guy slides out the door and down the street, plunging to his death off an unfinished overpass. After flipping her vehicle in a wreck, Megan's mom is struck by two cars and a minivan before her body flies into an open grave. Later, Thomas and Megan attend a ballet company's theatrical interpretation of that tragic event.
Megan gets into a fistfight with another girl. Thomas is struck by lightning. Misogyny bubbles to the surface when Thomas brutally pounds Megan for invading his space after she misinterprets his dance instruction ("Hip-hop is aggressive"). A drama teacher shows his class a scene in which a character amputates his own leg. A morbidly obese man pancakes a guy on the dance floor.
Crude or Profane Language
There are about 50 profanities or uses of harsh anatomical slang. Language includes one f-word (sung), a half-dozen or so s-words, misuses of God's name, "a--hole," racial epithets, and references to women being "b--ches" and "hos."
Drug and Alcohol Content
Baby Daddy lets his infant son sip a mixed drink at a bar. In flashback, Megan is pulled over for DUI, fails the breathalyzer test, and unleashes a flood of alcohol and empty bottles when she opens her car door (a spin on those now-iconic drunk-driving PSAs). People drink at a club.
Other Negative Elements
With the tact of a choleric drill sergeant, a dance instructor rudely criticizes leotard-wearing women whose looks don't meet her unrealistic standards. Girls are just as rotten to each other, sniping about one another's looks or lack of style. Charity hangs her baby up in her school locker, then closes the door.
While busting a move, a man's head is somehow inserted in his own rear end, while another showers onlookers with a stream of urine. Rival dance crews wager thousands of dollars on a competition that is won by cheating. A leaping ballerina experiences flatulence. Megan uses a fake ID to get into Club Violence. Despite a hint of irony, she concludes that a college education and worthwhile career can't compare with the respect earned in the streets.
A guy wears a T-shirt for the group Public Enemy.
Dance Flick star Damon Wayans Jr. says, "There's been so much dance involved in our culture lately that somebody needs to make fun of it." I can't argue with that. The genre is definitely ripe for ribbing. But somewhere along the line, Hollywood and the Wayans clan decided that a sense of humor equals throwing a bunch of perverse jokes and sight gags onto the screen. It's a waste of time and talent.
At one point in this film, there's a wisecrack about Thomas wearing a "Bill Cosby sweater." Sadly, that sweater is the only thing Dance Flick has in common with the veteran comedian's infinitely cleaner, funnier shtick. Come to think of it, maybe an earful of classic Cosby routines such as "The Dentist," "Old Weird Harold" and "Chocolate Cake for Breakfast" is just what I need to wipe away the foul aftertaste of Dance Flick.

I got the jeep in 2005, with 56000 miles on her and now shes sitting at 110k. I had to replace the weak transmission already and went with a used warrantied trans from a national dealer, which im certain are scam dealers: there was never any warranty papers or carfax of the vehicle the trans sent from the vendor as promised. So for the 800 I spent on it im suprised it stills runs, lol. It does, however, and pretty good with just a lil slip outta first, but a tran kit should shore that up. A replaced TV and good band adjustment helped a great deal too.
To date i havent done a lot; I have a K&N TKIP air intake kit, and towing/offroad transcooler replacement upgrade, and a Flowmaster Super 44 cat-back exhaust. Ive done a ton of replacement work on some parts that i wouldnt call performance upgrades just to get the vehicle more mechanically sound and comfortable for what I have in store for her!
Im not kidding that in about a year this Jeep is getting everything under the sun, so any recommendations based on experience with brands/parts would be extremely appreciated! Thanks.

Parents, We Need You!
Parent/Guardian Expectations
Research shows that one of the most influential factors in student success is the involvement by parents/guardians in the student's educational program. Parents/guardians of BCMHS students are expected to:
- Insist on daily, punctual school attendance of their student.
- Monitor the daily and weekly completion of the student's work.
- Be actively involved in their student's educational program.
- Provide transportation to and from all school activities.
- Support the discipline codes and behavior guidelines of Buckingham Charter Magnet High School and Vacaville Unified School District.
- Complete all applicable school paperwork and meet stated deadlines.
- Provide or facilitate instructional assistance for the student.
- Participate regularly and actively in parent meetings, activities and workshops.
- Proactively ask questions or seek assistance from BCMHS staff.
- Stay informed by reading the BCMHS handbook, school newsletter and other school communications, and by visiting the BCMHS web site(s) regularly.
- Show respect for all charter school students, parents and staff.
- Contribute to the school community through the Parent Service Hours program.
Parent Service Hours
Parental involvement is widely understood to be a significant contributor toward a student's success in school. With this in mind each Buckingham family is asked to contribute a minimum of five hours per semester to support the students, the school, and its programs (See Guidelines for Parent Service Hours/Volunteer Builder). The following are general guidelines for the program:
- The program will be administered by the parent group with administrative support and oversight.
- Service hours will be submitted to the main office on a designated tally sheet and are subject to verification by a Staff member or Staff designee.
- A list of qualifying service opportunities will be posted on the school website.
- Parents or family members (other than the student or other minor children) may serve the hours.
- Hours may not be transferred to another family and may not be carried over from year to year.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The Michigan football team already has two commits in its 2013 class: quarterback Shane Morris (Warren, Mich./De La Salle) and safety Dymonte Thomas (Alliance, Ohio/Marlington). Both want to win championships at Michigan, but they still have another year of high school before starting on that.
So in the meantime, they're working on another goal: having the No. 1 recruiting class in 2013. And to do that, they've gone out on the recruiting trail, in a matter of speaking.
Thomas said Morris was a big reason why he committed to Michigan.

The annual Law Enforcement Torch run begins next week and some of our local law enforcement officers will be starting in Marietta and might be running through your neighborhood.
"And then we will hit Mcconnelsville and Caldwell at least. Thursday, we run through the GNC workshop in Byesville and then we go through Cambridge and then Zanesville. Friday we go through, Friday's a big day. We hit Newark, Hebron, Thornville and Reynoldsburg," said Sgt. Kay Perkins of the Cambridge Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The torch run was started in 1981 as a way to bring awareness to the Special Olympics and as a way to raise much needed funding. Perkins, who is the leg leader for the 7th District, is so passionate about the event that she traveled to South Korea last January to bring awareness to the country and encourage them to get involved. Officers raise money by having someone sponsor them through donations.
"That's the neat thing about the Law Enforcement Torch Run, it's law enforcement officers and you raise money, you run through communities and every penny that we raise goes to direct support for the Special Olympians."
District 7 starts running on June 26 and will end in Columbus for the start of the Special Olympics summer games on June 28. If you would like to make a donation or sponsor an officer, you can stop by any highway patrol post to do so.

Have you seen the movie Whiplash?February 18th, 2016
Have you seen the movie Whiplash? I saw it on a plane and the final moment of the film is a musical crescendo that ended exactly as the plane's wheels touched down at LaGuardia. It was a timing thing; the movie going to black and the tires hitting the runway gave me a chubby. Okay, and now I'll try to connect the dots. In Whiplash, the J.K. Simmons character is an out of his mind instructor of a jazz ensemble in which the Miles Teller character wants to be the drummer, and it's loaded with rejection. I felt that rejection theme the other night when I heard Paul McCartney was turned away from a Grammys after-party. I thought about how he must've felt when the guy at the door said, "Sorry buddy." I would imagine Paul hasn't felt that in his gut since a record company told The Beatles to scram some 50 plus years ago. Hey, rejection is a part of life but sometimes it just knocks the wind out of you. Paul's response was, "We need another hit." And then I thought about another drummer….Pete Best. Fade to black.
Older: « Yes, it has been bitterly cold!

When the federal government argues that there is no constitutional right to be a prostitute, it misses the point of a case that could lead to the decriminalization of prostitution. The point is that if the prostitution laws heighten the risk of being murdered in an already unsafe job, they may infringe on the individual right to be secure from arbitrary state action.
Do they heighten risk? It certainly seems that way. Exchanging sex for money is not illegal in Canada. But the laws around prostitution make it impossible to hire, say, a bodyguard or a driver (living off the avails of prostitution is a crime), or to work out of an apartment (running a brothel is a crime). Those laws, and one against solicitation, are being challenged at the Ontario Court of Appeal; a lower-court judge has declared them unconstitutional.
And this country is full of true and terrible stories of women selling their bodies for sex who have been prey, in recent years, for serial killers in British Columbia and Alberta. These are vulnerable women already – a good number of them poor, or addicts, or from abusive childhoods – and if the law exposes a vulnerable group to serious or even fatal harm, no constitutional court is going to look kindly on it. Especially if part of the law's raison d'être is to protect women.
It could be argued that the prostitution laws are not arbitrary, that they are designed to protect vulnerable women and the community from degradation and exploitation. We have argued that prostitution should be decriminalized because forcing it underground puts women at greater risk, but we have also said that balancing complex social harms is the job of Parliament, not the courts. Now, though, the weakness of the federal argument against prostitution – "it is not a constitutionally protected right" – gives us pause. It suggests the harms done to women by the prostitution laws are simply outside the government's field of vision. They don't register. They are not weighed in the balance.
If that is the case, the Ontario Court of Appeal (and, some day, the Supreme Court of Canada) may feel obliged to weigh the harms themselves, and come to its own conclusions.Report Typo/Error

Volkswagen brought at the 2013 SEMA Show a 400 hp Jetta. Apparently, the Vw Jetta uses the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engine but FMS Automotive crew tapped the APR for their Stage 3+ Turbo Kit and obtained an impressive 425 hp. In order to manage that amount of power, FMS Automotive equipped the engine with APR rods, wristpins, and performance pistons.
Moreover, installed an APR carbon fiber cold air intake system with intercooler. What's more important is that the Jetta still uses 93 octane pump fuel, despite the power increase. Handling was improved too thanks to an H&R Street coil-over suspension system coupled with H&R Sport anti-roll bars, while the silver 19-inch TSW Jerez wheels with chrome lips and wrapped in Nitto NT-05 Z-rated tires improve the grip.
A new Brembo braking kit was installed and uses a set of performance four-piston calipers and cross-drilled rotors. Regarding the design, the vehicle uses a Golf R front fascia with a custom front splitter and a Jetta Hybrid grille. All the four fenders were widened by approximately two inches, while the GLI rear bumper accommodates a dual-exit exhaust with oval tips. FMS Automotive added custom Golf R side skirts too.
To round out the exterior upgrades, the performance Jetta features matte-finished Candy White premium Axalta Coatings paint. Inside, the performance Jetta features black and beige Recaro Sportster CS seats, as well as reupholstered rear seats, door trim, steering wheel, handbrake, and gear shifter.
The interior also includes a full RNS 315 navigation system with rearview camera, custom sound box and digital sound processer, and aesthetic pieces such as aluminum pedal caps and door sills. [source: Volkswagen]

Oj Mayo
February 24, 2011 by staff
Oj Mayo, The Pacers and Grizzlies have signed an agreement to send OJ Mayo, Josh McRoberts, and Indiana to a draft first-round pick. This trade does not happen. Apparently, Memphis has withdrawn from the agreement at the last minute, and it could not be registered before the deadline. Mayo obviously did not live up to the potential of another world, he showed in high school, but he has talent. So, in what appeared to be a classic case of a treasure of a team of trash-turned-restoration project is another team, OJ became sustainable and desirable Memphis Indiana.
The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed in principle to trade guard OJ Mayo to the Indiana Pacers forward Josh McRoberts and a first-round pick in 2011, league sources said Thursday, but the agreement collapsed.
Deadline is sweeping names like Baron Davis and OJ Mayo, but we can not forget the rally is the NFL combine as we wrap-up the day before Friday.
We will update all actions, including banning Baron Davis; I mean trade to the Cavaliers here. We'll let you know if anyone has had additional Mayo, or if the date had already passed sweater.
While only a few hours on the clock were, opened the floodgates and the negotiating teams began this way and that way, and all the means between the two. It seemed almost half of all the NBA was to jump into the trading book and some large transactions have been taken to increase the chances of the playoffs this season, and other treats were made to continue the reconstruction of a team on the way back to a state in importance.
A business that failed to pass the time was the OJ Mayo trade. Memphis Grizzlies were planning to meet the Indiana Pacers, and the terms were set: OJ Mayo going to the Pacers, Josh McRoberts is going to Memphis and they earn a future draft selection. However, they were unable to get agreement on time, and when the trade deadline has increased, OJ Mayo was still in Memphis, where it seems he has been in hot water recently.

Team USA Report: Durant opens up on LeBron move
Random quick hits on Day 2 of Team USA training camp Tuesday at UNLV:
1. Coaches and players agreed that the second day of camp was more intense than the first, which basically consisted of re-introductions, some sets and a few scrimmages. Such focus, clearly, is expected only to increase as the U.S. moves closer to the World Cup in Spain next month.
2. As U.S. assistant coach Monty Williams (Pelicans) said: "Today was one of those days where you let the dust settle and you see more of everybody's game."
3. One player making an impression: Celtics rookie guard Marcus Smart, and he's not even really trying out for Team USA. Instead, the No. 6 overall pick in the June draft is a member of the Select Team — which has been put together for the purpose of pushing national team candidates in practice. But Smart has more than held his own while playing with and against the likes of Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers), Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers) and Derrick Rose (Bulls).
4. Bulls rookie forward Doug McDermott has also looked good as a member of the Select Team.
5. Scrimmages have more or less been a mish-mash of Team USA candidates against the Select Team. On Tuesday, second-year Magic guard Victor Oladipo buried a 3-pointer in the final seconds to give the Select Team a win over the White Team.
6. Meanwhile, plenty of attention continues to be placed on veteran guard Derrick Rose (Bulls), who joined camp after two major knee injuries. The reports on Rose remained good. "We're very, very pleased," head coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday.
7. Along with adjusting to international rules, it appears USA campers are still getting accustomed to the basketball bounced in FIBA competition. "The ball's a lot slicker," said center DeMarcus Cousins (Kings). "When your hands are wet, it comes right out. It's an adjustment. But once you get used to the ball, the game will get easier. As of right now, we've got to get used to the ball."
8. It's been several weeks since LeBron James announced his decision to leave the Heat for the Cavs — but James' relocation remains a hot topic among the NBA's elite. Before getting down to business Monday, most of those trying out for Team USA talked LeBron. "That was pretty cool," reigning league MVP Kevin Durant (Thunder) said of James' announcement in an interview with ESPN.com. "It's funny seeing guys think about more than just basketball for once."
9. Durant continued: "He thought about the city where he comes from, about Northeast Ohio and how he can affect so many of the kids just being there playing basketball. I love that. So many guys get criticized for making the decision that's best for them, instead of what's best for everybody else. He's a guy that did that. You gotta respect that."
10. Durant said he texted LeBron after the decision. "As a fan of the game, it's going to be pretty cool to see him back in Cleveland," Durant said.
11. Clippers point guard Chris Paul and Kings forward Rudy Gay attended Tuesday's practice as spectators.
12. A few Cavs fans have emailed or sent notes on Twitter about Team Canada, and the Cavs' contingent that hails from the Great White North. Your answer: Tristan Thompson, Anthony Bennett and No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins are not on Team Canada's roster this summer. However, second-round pick Dwight Powell is a member of the team. Canada did not qualify for the World Cup, but leaves next month for a tour of exhibition games in Europe.
13. USA big man Anthony Davis on his chances of playing for the 2016 Olympic team: "I don't want to jinx myself. I don't want to say yes and then in 2016 I don't get that call. It's definitely an honor to be asked multiple times to play for Team USA. Hopefully I keep getting invited and I get a chance to represent."

Report: Samantha Steele And Christian Ponder Are Already Married
In late October, we first found out that ESPN GameDay host Samantha Steele was dating Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder.
Then, in early December, we found out the two were engaged, and offered our congratulations.
And now, today, we've found out, via the Leader-Telegram, that Miss Steele and Mr. Ponder are actually already married. The two were hitched on Monday night in a Wisconsin courtroom. From the source:
According to county records, Steele listed an Arizona address, while Ponder listed his residence as Excelsior, Minn. It is the first marriage for both.
Needless to say, that was quick. Regardless, we wish them the best!

The Obel Tower is a highrise building in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The building is the tallest storeyed building in Ireland.
Costing £60 million and measuring 85 metres (279 ft) in height, the tower dominates the Belfast skyline. On completion it overtook the previous tallest building in Belfast and Northern Ireland, Windsor House (80 m), also in Belfast. Developed by the Karl Group, the Obel Tower is located on Donegall Quay on the River Lagan beside the Lagan Weir.
The tower contains 233 apartments.[1] The first 182 apartments released in March 2005, priced from £100,000 to £475,000, were reserved off plan within 48 hours.[2]
Construction work on phase one of the project, the foundations and 2 storey basement carpark, began in January 2006.[3] In mid-2007 construction work on the site ceased, and all of the construction equipment was removed; construction then recommenced on 17 June 2008.
Planning permission was granted in January 2008 for an extra two floors to be added to the tower to cater for further demand in apartment space. The anticipated completion date was originally summer 2010; however, owing to the construction moratorium the building was not completed until spring 2011. These extra floors will bring the overall height up from 80.5 metres to 85 metres.
In April 2011 it was announced that London law firm Allen & Overy was to rent all of the available office space at the Obel.[4]
In October 2011 local catering firm Mount Charles opened its second 'Fed and Watered' branded cafe in one of the retail units on the ground floor.[5]
On Friday 30 November 2012 administrators were appointed to Obel Ltd, Obel Offices Ltd and Donegall Quay Ltd. The three firms control the residential complex. According to the BBC, the main firm, Donegall Quay, is unable to pay debts to the former Bank of Scotland Ireland (BoSI) — believed to be more than £51m.[6]

Step back in time and be graciously welcomed into this wonderful corner grocery. Fine wines, meats and cheeses for that special meal....or maybe just picking up fresh bread and homemade soup for lunch...or maybe you've run out of milk and need to run in fast and pick something up....there is something for everyone. but, more than that, it is the wonderful feeling of community and time gone by that no other local retailer can provide. Burbage's is a must!
What a quaint store! My husband and I were blown away with the charm and customer service of Rich! He gave us a warm welcome and tour of the store like we were friends of the family. It was nice to see someone so enthusiastic and proud about his store! There were lots of unique items to peak the interest of a "foodie." If we ever visit the Charleston area again, we will definetely be back for the tapas evenings!
18 Year Old Traditional Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic EVOO was great for dipping fresh bread and will always be in my kitchen. Was a great suggeston from Melissa store Manager. King Street needs more stores like this. Thanks!!!
Good luck! Some good grilling rubs..
I'm an olive oil freak, and this shop fills the bill quite nicely! I picked up the Picual oil. Apparantly, this olive will have an extremely limited pressing this season. Get it while you can!
Went by there this weekend and they had just opened up. Wonderful choices of oil, vinegar and rubs for meat and fish. Great that you can taste anything, even the rubs. We bought some oil and vinegar for ourselves and also for a hostess gift. I think this store is a bonus for King St.
I try to go to AW&C at least once a week. Manoli is so helpful in teaching me about both wine and cheese. The people that shop there are great too. Least pretentious wine store ever. I stoped in around lunch time one day and was treated to a feast of leftovers from Italian night along with an exceptional glass of wine. Wonderful store.
Manoli has tapped into something great with her store: nothing less than the rebirth of good local shopping. When was the last time you went to Total Wine and ran a few neighbors and friends and your shopping trip morphed into conversation, drinks, and a small feast prepared by the owner? Really? Never? Even if you're not in the mood to spend a couple of hours there, Manoli's store is within easy walking or biking distance of thousands of homes. If you pared a big grocery store's selection of wines and cheeses down past the Krafts and the Yellowtails, you'd find Manoli's selection to be larger and more diverse- quite a feat for such a small, tidy place. When that new Harris Teeter goes up next year, I dare you to introduce yourself to the wine or cheese dept manager(s). Ask if they'll make you up a special gift basket or bring in some real camembert. See if they'll pour you a taste of their new favorite or offer to whip out a quick arrugula salad with lemon and octopus. Then, if you haven't already, go visit Manoli's little store. I'm sure you'll be as pleased as I have been.

text: I've been using my Incredible since day one and my 8GB SD card had become corrupt 2 times. 1st time it became corrupt I read that it should be formatted via the phone not PC so maybe that was why it happened. Well I formatted it via the phone and have been using it since and now it's corrupt again? Although I can still use it take and save pics read and write to it when connected via usb or if I take it out and put it in a pc everything seems fine. My issue is the photos when you view photos almost all photos on the card show up as if they are corrupt the thumbnails are all snowy but if I press on them the picture shows up fine, go back to thumbnail view and they are all snowy again. I've already rebooted the phone, removed the battery and SD card, put it all back together but the thumbnail view still shows pics as snowy.
