Mexico's La Sabrosa Sabrosura plays Cumbiabomba
Saturday, December 14th, 2013, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
La Sabrosa Sabrosura plays what it calls "Cumbiabomba". Just what is Cumbiabomba? We hear it may involve a significant dose of cumbia, plus a bit of funk, a dash of Jamaican sounds, maybe a sprinkling of electronics... but the only way to know for sure is to tune in as this high-energy Mexico City outfit as performs live on our airwaves tonight (Saturday). Or, we suppose you could check them out in person at their big show at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn on Sunday. Or why not do both?
White Mystery
Saturday, December 14th, 2013, 3pm - 6pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
Rock-n-roll siblings, Miss Alex White and Francis Scott Key White, AKA WHITE MYSTERY return to the Cherry Blossom Clinic in support of their newest record "Telepathic"!

Rex, the Who, the Cramps etc White Mystery make an epic racket for a duo. They bring that racket from their hometown of Chicago to the Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T this Saturday, December 14, at 3:00 pm.

Saturday, December 14th, 2013, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show

Saturday, December 14th, 2013, 6am - 9am
on Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
January of this year saw the debut recording by Torres (Mackenzie Scott). The self-titled disc is good from beginning to end, and is as impressive a first album as you're likely to hear. Her approach to writing is that of the singer/songwriter, giving us songs of emotional honesty and depth, not rock bombast. Her voice matches her lyrics, making her a most compelling performer. Though customarily appearing in concert fronting a trio, Mackenzie agreed to do a more subdued solo set, just her and her electric guitar, for our Saturday morning listeners.
Friday the 13th: At the Movies
Friday, December 13th, 2013, 3pm - 6pm
on Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk

Jason Rosenberg, Part 1
Thursday, December 12th, 2013, 8pm - 9pm
on Sinner's Crossroads with Kevin Nutt
Gospel researcher (White Sox fan) and proprietor of raregospel.com Jason Rosenberg dons the DJ hat again and joins Sinner's Crossroads for an hour of stunning gospel unknowns and rarities. Jason always brings a stack of 78s, 45s and one-off acetates making their Sinner's Crossroads and Internet debuts. Not to be missed. But wait: One hour isn't enough! Jason will also join Sinner's Crossroads on December 26th for another hour of gospel impossibles. Be sure to tune in then.
Thursday, December 12th, 2013, 3am - 6am
on Dark Night of the Soul with Julie
Athan Maroulis (Spahn Ranch, Black Tape for a Blue Girl) returns with his dark electro-pop project Noir. The industrial-inspired beats are danceable but the ear and heart are drawn to Athan's inimitable voice (crooning without cringing) and haunting lyrics.
Melissa Laveaux
Thursday, December 12th, 2013, Midnight - 3am
on 100% Whatever with Mary Wing
Haitian-Canadian Melissa Laveaux's style is self-assured: a combination of folk, indie pop, and her signature percussive finger-style blues guitar. Her writing is personal, her voice youthful and sensual, but the arrangements brightly burst of creativity, placing emphasis on rhythm and electronic sounds. Now living in France, Melissa stopped by the WFMU studio during her visit to New York City to promote her new 4-track EP, "Memory Is A Strange Bell" which was released on December 3rd. Hear her perform live on Mary Wing's show on Thursday morning at 1 am!

The Numbers Band
Wednesday, December 11th, 2013, 6am - 9am
on JA In The AM (PST) with John Allen
Blues run the game wednesday morning (12/11) during The John Allen Show as WFMU welcomes Robert and Jack Kidney of the legendary Kent, OH band 15-60-75, commonly referred to as the Numbers Band. David Thomas of Pere Ubu once called the 1976 LP Jimmy Bell's Still in Town "the only good album ever recorded by anyone" and their legend after nearly 40 years continues with the LP reissue of Jimmy Bell this month on Exit Stencil records. Known for their driving and strangely hypnotic rock working outside of the seventies mainstream, the late Peter Laughner wrote in a 1974 review that "their live performance draws on the incredible vein of mystery and sex that predominated the best rock and blues of the sixties. Their rhythm section is as obsessive as a jukebox". The Kidney Brothers will be interviewed and perform a couple songs as gtr/harmonica/vocal duo, joined on one number by another legend Tony Maimone on bass. 6-9 am
Fred & Toody (of Dead Moon/ Pierced Arrows)
Tuesday, December 10th, 2013, 7pm - 8pm

Saturday, December 7th, 2013, 6pm - 9pm

The Encounter makes its New York debut tonight, Saturday December 7th at the Asia Society on Park Avenue (with a live video webcast too). And the adventurous trio performs at Alwan for the Arts downtown on Sunday evening. But you'll hear this exciting new collaboration first right here on WFMU.

Soldier Kane
Monday, December 2nd, 2013, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Dismantling the Blues, the Great American Songbook and R&B dance hits is the latest collaborative effort by Violinist/Musical Eccentric Dave Soldier and Percussionist Jonathan Kane. As a quote from the New York Times states, "One thing about having an approach as idiosyncratic as Dave Soldier's is that once listeners know your work at all, they realize that coming to new works with any expectations about style, form or language is fruitless." And Jonathan Kane's most recent ensemble, February, produces some beautifully powerful yet minimalistic trance-rock. The melding of the two is Soldier Kane, and they perform live on Irene's show.
Décimas: Music and Poetry of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, with Raquel Z. Rivera and Bryan Vargas
Saturday, November 30th, 2013, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
Raquel Z. Rivera and her group Ojos de Sofía are giving new life to a very old Hispanophone Caribbean poetic form, the décima. They're bringing contemporary lyrical and instrumental flair to the 500-year-old décima and the earthy musical styles it has long inspired, like Puerto Rican jibaro music and old-school Dominican bachata. Ojos de Sofia will show off their old/new creations at a couple of free workshops in early December and a concert at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery Performance Space on E 10th St. Sunday afternoon December 8th. Raquel and Bryan Vargas from Ojos de Sofia stop by today to introduce us to this ancient form and show us how they're turning it into something very new.
Allysen Callery
Saturday, November 30th, 2013, 6am - 9am
on Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
Rhode Island singer-songwriter Allysen Callery was in New York recently for a gig at Pianos, and stopped by one early Saturday morning to treat us to a live set of her gorgeous singing and ever more assured guitar-picking. She has hit her stride as a writer, spinning out poetic, spare and haunting songs. Her second WFMU live appearance consists of selections from her most recent release, "Mumblin' Sue" (75 or Less) and a sneak preview of a couple of new ones as well.

Aye Aye Rabbit
Monday, November 25th, 2013, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event
Aye Aye Rabbit is the trio of Ed Pastorini, Indigo Street, and Greg Saunier. All are consummate musicians with deep creative roots. What they do in Aye Aye Rabbit is what usually gets called "improvisation." But in this case it would be accurate to call them spontaneous composers, because their rapport is such that they make impromptu songs that seem to surface in fully-crafted condition. It's a joy to hear them work together.
Scott from "Lee Harvey Oswald: 48 Hours to Live"

Lora Faye
Saturday, November 23rd, 2013, 6am - 9am
on Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
Since Lora Faye and band were here about a year ago, their profile has risen, helped in part by two CD releases and a recent two-night stand at Joe's Pub. Their sound, an amalgam of rock, jazz and cabaret, used to have more of an old-timey country flavor, but now they've added a dab of funk and soul. The personnel has changed considerably, and they are a tighter outfit overall. Tune in for a rousing set!

Valley Lodge returns to WFMU for their second session on The Evan "Funk" Davies show, in support of their excellent new album Use Your Weapons. Some say they sound like Cheap Trick, T. Rex, Big Star, the Raspberries, Matthew Sweet, Slade and the Kinks! Well, actually they say that themselves, probably hoping that those names will be used to attract people's attention. Mission accomplished!
Tune in Wednesday night, Nov. 20, to hear Valley Lodge play songs from their entire discography! Then go see them Friday Nov. 22 at Union Hall (part of the Meet Me in the Bathroom and Tell Me All Your Secrets comedy/music extravaganza, hosted by Valley Lodge's Dave Hill), and again on Dec. 7 at Arlene's Grocery.

Everything's Coming Up Profits: The Golden Age of Industrial Musicals
plus: Joe Frank - In the Dark: "Problems"
Wednesday, November 20th, 2013, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid
Once upon a time, when American industry ruled the earth, business and Broadway had a baby. This mutant offspring, glimpsed only at conventions and sales meetings, was the industrial musical. It was like a Broadway show, except the audience consisted of sales managers and field reps, and the catchy songs were about bathtubs, Ford tractors, or electrical power distribution management.
Steve Young and Sport Murphy have collaborated on the book EVERYTHING'S COMING UP PROFITS (Blast Books), a history of alt-universe musical theater featuring song & dance about life insurance, corrosion-free silicone, and Westinghouse appliances. Some of these shows were hilariously lame. Some were pretty good, and some were flat-out fantastic.
Young and Murphy will appear on Irwin's program on Weds. November 20, from 4:30pm to 6:00pm (Eastern), along with publisher/book designer Laura Lindgren. For 90 minutes they'll chronicle the genre and spin dozens of mind-boggling songs from rare industrial show LPs.
Young and Murphy will also offer a showcase of archival industrial musical film clips at this year's WFMU Record Fair, on Saturday afternoon, November 23.
JOE FRANK: Irwin will also air an installment of Joe Frank's radio series IN THE DARK at 4pm (Eastern). In this episode, entitled "Problems," Joe laments his flawed father and eulogizes his idealized mother.

For this show he's put together a playlist called FUTURE SHOCK---tracks that defied and/or defined that period from the early '80s that flirted with elements of post punk funk/electro breakdance/new wave weirdness---be there or be square! Noon-3pm on Wednesday.

An Interview With the Ramones From the Summer of '76
Wednesday, November 13th, 2013, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
On July 8th, 1976, the Ramones sat down for an interview in the offices of 16 Magazine. It was just 10 weeks after the release of their debut album. Their interviewer was not unknown to them: Lisa Jane Persky was already a regular at CBGB, and she was co-starring off-Broadway with Divine. She was also a co-founder of New York Rocker, the magazine that would publish this interview in issue #4. A couple of years ago Lisa re-discovered the cassette recording of this interview, and she'll share the interview in full for the very first time with WFMU listeners this coming Wednesday night on The Evan "Funk" Davies show. You can also expect ample reminiscing about New York City at the time punk rock and the CBGB scene was just starting to take off -- with plenty of complementary music, of course! Tune in to WFMU at 9pm on Wednesday November 13th for this fascinating interview with the Ramones at the dawn of their career.
Wednesday, November 13th, 2013, 7pm - 8pm
on Distort Jersey City with Reed Dunlea
Olympia Washington, the town and scene that brought the world Milk Music, Nuts Fanzine, Evergreen State College, and Beat Happening, has now unleashed Gag. A band that is clearly ingesting everything that is happening in 2013 hardcore punk and turning out their demented, studded, and barb wired interpretation. A smear of snot and delay over some hard riffs and mid tempo beats. A post-Hoax band getting it done in a post-Hoax world. They're in the middle of some serious van problems on a serious two month tour, so we snagged a live session while they were stuck in the barren wastelands of New Brunswick New Jersey. Tune in.

on Brian Turner
The prolific solo project of Cleveland's Lamont "Bim" Thomas (ex-Bassholes, Puffy Areolas, Unholy Two among others), Obnox treads on some junked-out Stooges/Pussy Galore terrain with ample heaps of white noise and stylistic curveballs. Definitely in the rock and roll corner, yet stretching into some wild and wooly places your traditionalist garage rockers opt not to tread; Obnox has issued 9 releases in only two years via labels like Permanent, 12XU, Anyway, Smog Veil and more.

Black Sea Hotel
Monday, November 4th, 2013, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event
Black Sea Hotel are the Ramones of Balkan a capella song. They infuse this already-wild traditional music with their own gutsy sound that is by turns dissonant and driving, lyrical and ethereal. Black Sea Hotel will visit WFMU on November 4th to preview their 2nd record, "The Forest is Shaking and Swaying." Core members Willa Roberts and Sarah Small will be joined by a series of guest singers working with them through the precise arrangements that allow Black Sea Hotel to build the sound of a choir out of just 3 powerful voices.

The Wingdale Community Singers + Olivia Chaney
Monday, November 4th, 2013, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Led by the core of Hannah Marcus, David Grubbs and Rick Moody, The Wingdale Community Singers return for a third round with another album of nearly heartbreaking beauty. The Wingdales' seemingly simple songs have an underlying emotionalism that really tugs at the listener's soul. Walt Whitman becomes an unexpected lyricist as his poetry forms the basis of a three-song Whitman sampler at the center of the album, including the title song, "Night, Sleep, Death, and the Stars." The Wingdale Community Singers play live from WFMU's "Love" room.
Then, Irene is joined by Scottish singer-songwriter Olivia Chaney, whose intensely personal music at times echoes Nick Drake and Sandy Denny. Chaney is equally at ease on the acoustic guitar, elegantly reworking music by folks like Bert Jansch all the way back to Henry Purcell, and can be equally moving on harmonium and piano. Olivia has performed with Alasdair Roberts, and was recently signed to Nonesuch Records. Olivia Chaney drops by WFMU in advance of an evening show Monday November 4th at Rockwood Music Hall.

He's composed and performed with Garifuna music's greatest star, the late Andy Palacio, as well as current stars Aurelio Martinez, Danny Michel and many others. But he's rarely taken center stage himself - until now, as he leads his own band in NYC. He drops by tonight to share his music live and on CD and share the story of this rich music and culture from Central America and the Caribbean.
The Paley Brothers
Saturday, November 2nd, 2013, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show

Their LP & EP (with tons of never before released material) have just been collected on the CD "The Complete Recordings"!

It's Halloween, and what better way to spend it than with a goth-tinged dream pop band? After a ten-year hiatus, Ashrae Fax stop in during their brief reunion tour, and album reissue. Echoing guitars and vocals that rival Siouxsie Sioux's might make you think you've time-traveled, but Ashrae Fax's sound is unique, timeless and haunting. Begin your Halloween in the dark.
Pony Time AND Chastity Belt
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
An incredible month of special shows wraps up with live music from two great Seattle bands! Pony Time is a two-piece dance-punk band with a bass player and a drummer. They have a song called "Gary Numan." No further information is needed.
Chastity Belt's latest album is called No Regerts. That is not a typo. They were recently featured on NPR in large part, it seems, because one of the hosts thought they had "the most horrifying publicity photo" he'd ever seen. (He subsequently allowed that their music "isn't anywhere near the worst music you'll ever hear — in fact, it's awesome." So.)
Pony Time and Chastity Belt are on tour together across the US (and back!). You can see them at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn on Thursday Oct. 25 and in New Brunswick NJ on Saturday Oct. 27 (ask a punk where the show is). If you miss them live, tune in to WFMU Wednesday night, Oct. 30, to hear live sets from both bands!
Joe Frank - In the Dark: "Joe's Frank's America"
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid
Installments of Joe Frank's radio series IN THE DARK air each Wednesday at 4pm (Eastern) on Irwin's program. The episode entitled "Joe Frank's America" airs Weds. October 30th at 4pm (Eastern).

The Juggs
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013, Noon - 3pm
on The Duane Train
Led by Kentucky raised, Brooklyn dwelling Kareem Bunton. This self proclaimed "music nerd" describes his music as landing in between Mudhoney and Muddy Waters with a bit of Funkadelic and the Temptations thrown in for color. The Juggs are loud, fast, psychedelic, and muscular. But more importantly they are soulful, like make you weep or get somebody pregnant soulful. Quit your job and hit the road soulful, lose your mind and find it again soulful. As a band they are truthful and sincere in their intentions. They want to rock with you, no strings attached. Their latest ep is called "I Hear Voices" and it's produced by Mick Collins (Dirtbombs, Gories). They will also be playing a Halloween Cavestomp Spectacular at Coco 66 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn 10/31/13.
Terakaft + Imharhan
Tuesday, October 29th, 2013, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
A West African double bill on the airwaves today: Terakaft formed in Mali in 2001 continuing an electric-charged path forged by other Tuareg kindred spirits like Tinariwen (in fact several ex-Tinariwens reside in Terakaft). Their name translates in Tamasheq to "caravan", and the band has been forced to spread their sounds through live touring and non-domestic channels since political uprisings in Mali in 2012 have forced the music out. They'll be live in the studio today! Also, as a bonus, we'll be broadcasting a set recorded by Rob Weisberg from the New York/Lincoln Center stop of the Festival of the Desert tour this past summer with Imharhan, another electric combo led by Mohamed Issa ag Oumar, a member of Tartit. Tartit and Imharhan stopped by Transpacific Sound Paradise in July as well for a WFMU session.

Camden Joy
Monday, October 28th, 2013, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event
Camden Joy is a writer, music critic, poster artist, and singer of songs about the scandal-plagued Presidential Coin series. His book "Boy Island" recounted the story of the band Cracker's first tour, with the addition of fictional drummer Camden Joy. In a late-90s poster series, he attacked the CMJ music festival before it was cool; in another series, he heralded the Chicago band Souled American before it was cool. He's eternally pre-cool. He'll visit WFMU's Airborne Event to bray songs, strum the guitar, and say stuff in advance of his November 4th talk at Housing Works NYC and his November 8th keynote address to the Midwest Modern Language Association in lovely Milwaukee.

Mamadou Kelly
Monday, October 28th, 2013, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Employing a nimble, melodic guitar technique and a soulful, bluesy voice, Mamadou Kelly made a name for himself playing with greats like the late Malian blues legend Ali Farka Toure. Kelly fled his home town of Niafunke for Bamako after the occupation of northern Mali in 2012, when the imposition of sharia law banned music there. Not to be stopped, he continued to hone his solo career and just released a new album in September, which more than hints at his encyclopedic knowledge of Malian music. Last summer Mamadou was a part of the Caravan for Peace concert outdoors at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park, and WFMU was fortunate to be allowed to record the whole concert. Mamadou Kelly's live set airs on Irene's show.

"The Voice" judge Cee Lo Green is calling BS on Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj's fiery feud -- telling TMZ, we're in L.A. ... practically EVERYTHING is fake in this town.
Cee Lo had just finished lunch in West Hollywood yesterday when we asked if he thought Nicki and Mariah's "Idol" fight was legit -- and he said, "This is Hollywood, California. Hardly anything's legit."
As for a possible "American Idol" ratings boost following the Nicki/Mariah fight -- Cee Lo says he's not worried, claiming, "I'm not intimidated. I think it's entertainment for everybody."

The SJA Saints wrestling team begins its season on Thursday, Nov. 29 when the boys host the Worthington Trojans in the St. James High School Gym. JV action gets underway at 6 pm, with varsity wrestling starting at approximately 7:30 pm.
The SJA Saints wrestling team begins its season on Thursday, Nov. 29 when the boys host the Worthington Trojans in the St. James High School Gym. JV action gets underway at 6 pm, with varsity wrestling starting at approximately 7:30 pm.
The Saints return an experienced and very deep team according to Head Coach Gene Hildebrandt.
Wrestle-offs have determined the opening starting lineup for the Saints. Based on those matches the starting lineup for the meet against Worthington will be:
106 lbs. Mario Gracia, 10th grade
113 lbs. Cody Hanson, 12th grade
120 lbs. Angel Zamarripa, 10th grade
126 lbs. Richy Soto, 12th grade
132 lbs. Sammy Guzman, 11th grade
138 lbs. Isaac Carreon, 12th grade
145 lbs. Kody Curry, 11th grade
152 lbs. Connor Engel, 11th grade
160 lbs. Zack Gleiter, 12th grade
170 lbs. Ryan Westman, 12th grade
182 lbs. Colin Hoppe 10th grade
195 lbs. Devin Wolle, 12th grade
220 lbs. Adrian Torres, 11th grade
HWT Victor Torres, 12th grade
This is an experienced team that's also balanced with many newcomers getting their first shot at significant varsity wrestling time.
Four returing Saints wrestled at the State Tournament last year. They are Cody Hanson, Richy Soto (who placed at State), Isaac Carreon and Devin Wolle.
Ryan Westman and Victor Torres both fell a match short of making it to State last year, so they have a chance to improve this year. Zack Gleiter is another Saint who was wrestling his best late in the season last year.
The preseason rankings done by the Guillotine are out and as a team the Saints are ranked just outside the top 12.
Five Saints are ranked in the preseason poll.
Cody Hanson is ranked seventh at 120 lbs. Richy Soto is ranked third at 126 lbs. Isaac Carreon is ranked seventh at 132 lbs.
Devin Wolle is ranked eighth at 195 lbs. Victor Torres is ranked fourth at heavyweight. These ranking do not necessarily indicate at what weight a wrestler will compete at during the season.
Hanson is likely to reach 100 career wins this season. He starts the year with 87 career wins and went 36-8 last year. Carreon starts the year with 74 career wins. He went 25-8 last year, so Isaac's got a shot at reaching 100 career wins. Hanson has 36 career pins and Carreon has 30 pins. Ryan Westman is just behind them with 29 career pins.
After opening the season with the Worthington match on Thursday, the Saints have a big early test on Saturday as they wrestle in a four team tournament at Mankato West.
In addition to wrestling against Mankato West and Byron, the other team in the meet is Wabasso/Red Rock Central, which starts the season off being fourth ranked in Class A.

hI finally got around to setting up an OliveTreeGenealogy Channel on You-Tube. So far I've managed to upload some cemetery videos, and am working on more!
I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. Last June hubs and I stopped at several cemeteries during various road trips. He did the work of walking and filming short videos of the tombstones, while I took digital photos of as many of the tombstones as I could manage with my physical challenges.
My plan was to upload the videos to You-Tube for researchers to view and look for an ancestor's tombstone. So today I set up my channel for Olive Tree Genealogy and uploaded some videos. One of the videos is from photos I took of a cemetery, then made into a movie using Picassa.
It's a bit of work, especially since You-tube is new for me, but I think it's really going to be fun. And I hope worth it for researchers to keep checking to see if a cemetery they are interested in is on my channel.
Join me at http://www.youtube.com/user/OliveTreeGenealogy to have a look! You can subscribe to my channel by clicking on the SUBSCRIBE link on my page.
And stay tuned for lots more videos coming online. I can hardly wait to get to the pictures we took in Massachusetts! I'm going to make a movie (slide-show) from them and upload those to the channel as soon as possible.

Wrapped Coast, One Million Square Feet, Little Bay, Sydney, Australia 1968-69
Coordinator: John Kaldor
Little Bay, property of Prince Henry Hospital, is located 14.5 kilometres, southeast of the centre of Sydney.
The South Pacific Ocean cliff-lined shore area that was wrapped is approximately 2.5 kilometres long, 46 to 244 metres wide, 26 metres high at the northern cliffs, and was at sea level at the southern sandy beach.
90,000 square metres (1 million square feet) of erosion-control fabric (synthetic woven fibre usually manufactured for agricultural purposes) were used for the wrapping. 56.3 kilometres of polypropylene rope, 1.5 centimetre diameter, tied the fabric to the rocks. Ramset guns fired 25,000 charges of fasteners, threaded studs and clips to secure the rope to the rocks.
Ninian Melville, a retired major in the Army Corps of Engineers, was in charge of the workers at the site.
17,000 manpower hours, over a period of four weeks, were expended by 15 professional mountain climbers, and over 100 workers: architecture and art students from the University of Sydney and East Sydney Technical College, as well as a number of Australian artists and teachers. All workers were paid, with the exception of 11 architecture students who refused.
The project was financed by Christo and Jeanne-Claude through the sale of Christo's original preparatory drawings, collages, scale models, early packages and wrapped objects of the 1950s and 1960s and lithographs.
The coast remained wrapped for a period of ten weeks from 28 October 1969. Then all materials were removed and recycled and the site was returned to its original condition.

HERMOSILLO, Mexico (AP) — Eight people have been arrested for allegedly killing two 10-year-old boys and a 55-year-old woman in ritual sacrifices by the cult of La Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, prosecutors in northern Mexico said Friday.
Jose Larrinaga, spokesman for Sonora state prosecutors, said the victims' blood was poured around an altar to the saint, which is depicted as a skeleton holding a scythe and clothed in flowing robes.
The grisly slayings recalled the notorious "narco-satanicos" killings of the 1980s, when 15 bodies, many of them with signs of ritual sacrifice, were unearthed at a ranch outside the border city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
While Saint Death has become the focus of a cult among drug traffickers and criminals in Mexico in recent years, there have been no confirmed cases of human sacrifices in Mexico to the scary-looking saint, which is not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. Worshippers usually offer candy, cigarettes and incense to the skeleton-statue.
Larrinaga said the first of the three victims was apparently killed in 2009, the second in 2010 and the latest earlier this month. Investigations indicate their throats were slit, they had cuts on their wrists and their blood was poured around an altar to the saint, he said.
"The ritual was held at nighttime, they lit candles," Larrinaga said. "They sliced open the victims' veins and, while they were still alive, they waited for them to bleed to death and collected the blood in a container."
Authorities began investigating after the last victim, 10-year-old Jesus Octavio Martinez Yanez, was reported missing March 6 by his stepfather.
Investigations led authorities to the altar site in the Sonora city of Nacozari, about 70 miles (110 kms) south of Douglas, Arizona.
Larrinaga said the arrests were made after tests by forensic experts on Thursday found blood traces spread over 30 square meters (yards) around the altar.
Those arrested included Silvia Meraz, who Larrinaga said spread the blood around the altar, and her son Ramon Palacios, who allegedly killed the victims. The spokesman identified them as the leaders of the cult.
Larrinaga initially gave The Associated Press the wrong name for the suspected male leader, saying it was Martin Barron Lopez. The spokesman later corrected the suspect to Palacios and said the name he wrongly gave out was that of the last victim's stepfather.
Meraz answered questions to reporters when she was shown to news media Friday.
"We all agreed to do it. Supposedly she was a witch or something," she said, referring to the women victim. She did not respond to questions about the boys' killings.
The other suspects, many of them relatives, included people ranging from a 15-year-old girl to a 44-year-old woman.
The "narco-satanicos" killings of the 1980s were committed by a cult of drug traffickers who believed that ritual sacrifices would shield them from police. Victims of the cult, many of whose members are still in prison, included Mark Kilroy, a 21-year-old University of Texas pre-med student.
The narco-satanicos have no connection to the Saint Death cult, which gained widespread popularity around the 2000, although the two share some similarities. Followers of Saint Death believe they gain protection by worshipping "Death."
(This version reflects CORRECTION in name announced by prosecutors for male suspect.)

About SailingCyclops
The FBI thinks it can wiretap everything simply by strong-arming ISPs into providing "back door" access to all communications. But not all communications which transit an ISP is subject to an ISP back door. Email secured by third party certs like Comodo, Globalsign, SwissSign, .... etc are not vulnerable to any ISP back doors, nor to FBI authority. Files attached and encrypted by a whole host of encryption schemes like PGP/GPG and TrueCrypt are likewise not vulnerable.
So, the FBI's push for these back doors will have no effect on those who want to keep their communications secret from the FBI. It will only be a privacy intrusion to those who have no want or need for privacy.
From a law enforcement perspective, this push by the FBI is a useless waste of effort and resources. I thought the FBI had graduated from being "Fabulous But Incompetent". Criminals have, and will continue to have, access to secured communications via existing Internet infrastructure. That genie is out of the bottle, and can't be put back in. What the FBI is thinking here is beyond me. Perhaps I am missing something?
Governments are incapable and corporations are unwilling to provide any online privacy. So, you have to take personal responsibility for your own privacy. Like most everything else in life if you want it done right do it yourself!

Tracking blockers, Judicious cookie controls, plus the use of an off-shore VPN, keeps my systems PRIVATE. I see little hope for any regulations or "declarations" replacing what each of us can do for ourselves. In today's climate of rapacious capitalism, where money sets the paradigm and writes the laws, looking to corporations or to governments is simply a waste of time, and will only lull you into a false sense of security.
If you don't like to be tracked, don't allow it!
When I send an email to a friend, it does NOT come with my permission to publish my personal information to the world!
In the good old days, when names, phone numbers, birthdays, addresses, email addresses .... were kept in those nice leather-bound address books, one could become righteously pissed if your "friend" posted copies of your information in a newspaper! Modern address books contain LOTS of data, from voice phone numbers, to cell numbers, to fax numbers .... to home addresses, work, job title ..... When you give this information to "friends" or to associates, there is a fair expectation that they keep it private, and for their personal use.
I am not on any of these social nets, and yet, I get spammed regularly by them. Why? Because stupid and inconsiderate "friends" have divulged MY information to these spammers without MY permission.
Yes, get pissed at the app makers, at the social nets, but I get more pissed at these "friends" who have published my personal information without MY permission.
Every idiot who uploads other people's personal data to third parties should be named in these class action suits. They are as, or MORE culpable than the spamming companies they deal with. When an app asks for your permission to upload your address book, not only is YOUR permission required, but the permission of everyone in your address book is required as well. What gives you the right to publish MY personal information, which I gave you in confidence?

> But that doesn't mean it won't do a ton of damage before it dies.
In my opinion, the damage will be sustained by the industries pushing this. I see them doing irreparable damage to themselves, and to their paid congressional shills. If you see your enemy running towards a cliff, it's tactically advantageous not to warn them.
The backlash to this and similar crap is already evident. Popular resistance is never born out of comfort, but rather out of discomfort. Make the American people a bit more uncomfortable, put the screws to them a bit harder, and they are more likely to get off their asses and resist. I see SOPA as another thorn of discomfort, a pinprick in their lazy butts, nothing more.
Fundamentally, SOPA is merely another symptom of the larger problem facing us. Benito Mussolini, the father of modern fascism, put it succinctly when he wrote: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
Therein lies our core problem. Corporate power has subjegated and corrupted our democracy, our economy, and our culture. We the people no longer rule ourselves, corporations do. Science and facts have become irrelevant. The methods by which SOPA/PIPA have, at great financial expense, been purchased in congress is further testimony to that fact.
> The government could ... also make VPN
> ILLEGAL if it wanted to.
They could also make toilet paper illegal; that would be just as unenforceable, and won't stop folks from using it.
> I'm surprised no one mention adding a foreign DNS server
> IP as your "alternate DNS" in your network settings.
No, It's trivial for your ISP to block all traffic destined for port 53 (DNS) outside their domain. The same way many ISPs block outbound port 25 access except to their servers.
The ONLY away around ISP meddling (for any service) is to tunnel outside their networks via a VPN.
> They'll just get VPNs banned or something, calling it a tool
> solely used for infringing .....
These laws are fundamentally unenforceable. The genie is out of the bag, and can't be put back in. E-Commerce, banking..... depend on encryption. Corporate access and work from home depend on VPNs..... In the end, the network will not allow itself to be crippled in order to prop up an ancient and outdated business model of a corrupt industry. These attempts will fail, just like the attempts to stifel player-pianos, cassettes, and CDs, failed.
The Internet is International. The idea that the U.S. will be able to stop it's natural development is absurd. These trogolodites are shooting themselves in the foot. They will simply drive business off shore, and all for what? To preserve an out-dated method of distribution?
This is the 21st century. It's as absurd to think that the entertainment industry can force us to go back to buying vinyl records, 8-tracks, or DVDs, as it is to think they can force us to NOT obtain content on the Internet. THEY must move on with the times, or be left behind, and ruined.
They can evolve, or they can go extinct. I see no enforceable set of laws, which can stop progress. "Piracy" (and I really don't like that term in this context) only exists because there is a market out there, a vacuum for content, which the entertainment industry is not filling. Until they do, no law will stop the fulfillment of the demand.
They need to take a look at the lessons learned about prohibition, and what it wrought upon our society before it was repealed. This is no different, and it's end will be the same. These laws are an exercise in futility.
Really! SOPA/PIPA is technically impotent on arrival. It requires U.S. based ISPs to falsify DNS records bound to their subscribers, and possibly falsify routing tables as well.
They can't bugger with the actual Country-Code secondaries, nor with off-shore routers, as the U.S. doesn't have legal or physical access to them. These kinds of "blocks" are trivially easy to circumvent. Why howl over something so innocuous? Why not let the fascist bums spin their wheels and squander their time and money?
All these laws are likely to accomplish, is to spark more extensive use of VPNs, encryption, private/local DNS servers, and Darknets, which in these days of Big Brother government, and corporate greed, would be a good and healthy practice SOPA or not.
I have been using VPNs for years, mainly to circumvent DPI, port-blocking, and DNS re-directs.
See: http://www.supervpn.net/anonymous-vpn.html
And: http://strongvpn.com/
I can vouch for these!

> You don't support piracy, do you?
That all depends on your definition of piracy. I do not accept the term as defined by the MAFFIA. I do not approve of locking up our culture under the guise of copyright for the purpose of pure greed. Copyright law has gone wild; Micky Mouse is still copyrighted! That's INSANE! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Pirates -- as is a lot of our culture.
Copyright was designed to give temporary exclusivity to creators, and then the creation was supposed to pass into the public domain. "Piracy" is merely a reaction to the perversion of copyright.

This is a perfect example of why this is totally unenforceable.

> Retailers only act as the collection agent
Wow! Don't you think the retailers should be paid for their new job as tax collectors / collection agents? They should work for free on behalf of the state? Really?
IP addresses do not necessarily identify an individual, or their location. Because of the rampant DNS/Search re-directs and ISP DPI snooping, mainly for profit, I run my Internet connection through a Canadian VPN. For all intents and purposes I am in Toronto Canada, and not in NYC. How is a sales-tax law supposed to target me based on my IP? It can't!
IP addresses are irrelevant! This "law" is total bullshit, and can never be enforced. If I was to purchase a big-ticket item, I would do it on-line via an out-of-country VPN.
It would seem congress is totally clueless when it comes to the Internet. How have we elected such idiot Dunsels?
I agree with everything you have said! What I don't understand is how any federal statute, allowing states to collect out-of-state sales taxes, can possibly be enforced. It seems impossible on it's face.
Here in NYC we are supposed to declare all out-of-state, out-of-city purchases on our tax returns, and pay the difference between the sales tax paid to the selling state and the NY state/city sales tax differential. I don't know of anyone who does this. I certainly never have! It would not be possible for me to do so even if I wanted to. I drove to the Bronx for many years transiting from NY through NJ, where gas and sales taxes were lower than in NY. I bought all my gas in NJ. Am I supposed to keep a record of all the NJ gas purchases and declare them to NY? I am not a crazy fool! Of course not!
Not one part of this proposed legislation is enforceable. It's DOA! It matters not if it were to be passed. There is no way this could be enforced.
Does the city of NY have jurisdiction to enforce tax collection on an out-of-city/out-of-state business? I don't think so!
How could this possibly be enforced? I can see mega-businesses like Amazon voluntarily acting as out of state tax collectors, but what about the small business? The independent musician? What can a state, city, or municipality do when these small businesses simply refuse to collect taxes for them?
I see this proposal as largely unenforceable.
The entertainment industry has become the abuser. This "piracy" is an appropriate, massive, popular reaction to their abuse and greed.
Copyright was supposed to protect owners AND the public sphere. It was implemented fairly as a fourteen year exclusivity right, so authors can make money, and then the public could freely enjoy the fruits of society.
Don't/can't watch a TV show when freely aired? PAY ME
Want to replace a scratched dvd movie or a song you already bought 4 times (on vinyl, on cassette, on 8-track, on dvd)? PAY ME AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN and AGAIN for 70 years past the owners death.
Want to watch your TV in another room? PAY ME MORE
Want to see it on your phone? PAY ME EVEN MORE
Want to watch it on your computer? Gimigimigimi MORE MORE MORE
Want to hear a 40 year old song, which should have been in the public domain decades ago? PAY PAY PAY.
And if you don't like all this, tough shit, we will extort reams of money from you like the mafia does, with the help of our bought and paid for courts.
This kind of behavior deserves a severe public reaction. The very reaction it is getting.
You say Rojadirecta isn't doing well. That's to be expected, as they were one of the first to be hit with this. However, look at all the biggest P2P sites like ThePirateBay, and IsoHunt, they are not only thriving, but growing, and untouchable by ICE and IP-PROTECT. Things like Mafiaafire redirector, and the increasing use of off-shore VPNs, and international domains, will make it impossible for this to be stopped. Only the entertainment industry can stop this, no one else, and not by thuggish mafia-like tactics either. They have to start serving their audiance in the way their audience wants to be served.
What "better and more efficient ways" are there to deal with the problem? Make good quality entertainment easily available on-line at a fair price. The solution is totally in the entertainment industry's power to implement, only greed is preventing them. Look at iTunes! It's profitable, and fair. It used to be that I could buy a single song on a 45RPM record, now if I want that song, I have to buy a CD with 90% crap on it for a lot more money. Why should I have to buy a dvd with commercials on it, when all I want to buy is a single movie? Keep your dead fragile plastic media sell it to me on-line at a fair price.
The trouble is that the entertainment industry refuses to evolve with a changing technology and audience, and for this they will fail. At every technological turn they have fought tooth and nail. They opposed the sale player pianos, of reel to reel tape recorders, cassette players, dvd burners..... now with this new technology, they are stymied and are trying to keep a terribly dated business plan alive by censoring the entire world wide web. They will fail, and they deserve to fail.
> Or, the bill gets passed, the courts uphold it
This is very likely.
> the internet doesn't break
By definition returning invalid DNS information is breaking the Internet
> sites that are dedicated to infringement disappear
There is nothing in this bill which will accomplish this. It merely gives legal cover to what ICE has already been doing. That program has been an utter failure. The most notorious sites are alive, thriving, and well. What makes you believe that codifying a failed system into law is going to work any better? Bear in mind this law only applies to the U.S. and has no effect outside our borders. There are better and more efficient ways to deal with the problem.
> the sky is not falling
No, the sky is not falling. We are simply giving an already corporate-corrupted government unnecessary powers which are ineffective to the stated goal, and which they will only abuse.
First: Taking punitive action against someone based on an allegation is not constitutional. We still live by the rule of law; by the rule of innocent until proved guilty. Worse, taking federal government law enforcement action against someone based on a civil complaint violates due process. So this piece of shit is not legal, and should die in the Supreme Court. However, given this Court's propensity to side with big business and greed, I won't be holding my breadth.
Second: It simply will not produce the desired results. The U.S. government does not control the Internet. Dot Com and Dot Net yes, because Verisign is a U.S. entity, but the Internet is far wider.
Third: Those who feel threatened, or affected by this (whether rightly or wrongly) will simply register abroad. Overseas DNS providers and VPN operators, search engines, advertising companies, and financial processing firms, will see a boon in their business, and U.S. jobs will be lost.
This law will do nothing to thwart copyright infringement, but merely move a portion of the Internet out of this country. Not only that, but faced with the very real possibility of being shut down on a mere accusation (by a competitor for instance), many other businesses will flee preemptively. Overseas Domains, collocation facilities, and bandwidth providers will benefit, we will lose. Proof of this can be seen when we look at the ICE take-downs. Nuked sites came back up almost immediately, only they came up overseas, with safe domain names. It's sad that the very country which invented the Internet will be seen as an unsafe place!
Fourth: This is a very slippery slope. Once you give any government, or industry in this case, the power to silence communication, it will inevitably be misused for other purposes. Don't like the political or religious views of someone? Simply accuse them of infringement, and they are gone without recourse. This thing will open a Pandora box of censorship. We may find ourselves behind the great Internet wall of America, just like China.
Finally: Breaking the very foundational technology which makes the Internet work, simply to protect an industry which stubbornly refuses to keep up with the times, and innovate, is absurd. The Internet is all about innovation, new ways of doing things, new business models, new freedoms and opportunities for the twenty-first century. This law will stifle innovation in America, and we will be left behind in yet another area.
The Cyclops
Copyright law, especially in the US, has gotten way out of hand. It does far more harm than good, and needs an overhaul. A good documentary on the subject can be viewed here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/88782/rip-a-remix-manifesto
This is a great film!
> The government can't do anything about it, nor
> you, nor anybody, but you want others to do it
> for you anyways?
This is a technical fact. COICA, even if implemented can't stop file sharing. First, the Internet is International, and no US law has jurisdiction over all of it. Second, if DNS is altered to not point to blacklisted sites, lists of blacklisted IPs will simply circulate via USENET, Email, or websites. In fact, what you will have created is a concise directory of infringing sites, making infringing even easier than it is now.
The Genie is out of the bottle, and there is no way to stuff it back in. Look at the hilarious side-show with respect to the pirate bay. It's a funny whack-a-mole game, and they have actually expanded without so much as skipping a beat.
Every time the entertainment industry goes on a rampage, technology (private trackers, off-shore VPNs, encryption, etc...) steps in to obviate the attack; while making more and more fans of their content pissed enough at them to actually begin pirating. This simply can't be stopped by laws or by technology. What the entertainment industry has to do is adapt their business model to take advantage of what is current reality.
COICA may be DOA, but even if it isn't, all it will do is create another useless and impotent government bureaucracy which will have the opposite effect from what it was intended to do.

Great luxury and value
By ReLiNY on Wednesday, June 14, 2017I am very pleased with this vehicle overall (2016 MKX Reserve with 3.7L engine), the luxury features are tremendous and a great value. The leather seats are top quality. Sync3 may not be as graphically pretty as the competition, but it works really well. I feel that there are some trim elements (A-pillar snap on trim that detached, for example) that are somewhat flimsy and there is a rattle emanating from the center console (this is why I gave a quality rating of 8). The engine is adequate -- fine on the highway with sufficient passing power, however, it is slow accelerating from stop or low speed -- a V6 should be zippier. Overall, to me, this beats the competition for luxury and value; and I am happy to have the V6 than a turbo-4 for such a heavy vehicle.

Very first impression
By jhu6569 on Sunday, August 14, 2016Purchased for my wife after looking at other competitors. Got the Reserve with Climate Control, Driver Assistance and Technology packages. Standard 3.7 V6 engine. Ingot Silver Metallic/Ebony - standard colors. 1. We love the overall look. 2. The interior is totally comparable to the Lexus, Caddy et al. 3. Safety features seem simply superb at this early date. 4. New Ford/Lincoln SYNC3 system is very easy to use. 5. Cabin noise at all speeds (and yes we have already tried "all" speeds) is very very quiet. 6. Handling as described by the general kbb review - a great long-distance cruiser - not like a BMW 325 or my own Infinity G35S. Frankly, exactly what we wanted in this SUV. 7. Standard audio system is above average, but should be tweaked in terms of fade/balance of you want to achieve best sound. Not an important consideration for my wife. 6 years of free Sirius/XM "Travel info"; 6 months of trial Sirius/XM radio. Both pretty hard to beat with any other comparable cross-over SUV, I think. 8 Only really slight negative is the rather pedestrian gas mileage, but even this is contra-indicated by the car's use of Regular 87 octane fuel. Obviously this review is subject to change as our brand new car gets used. But as an initial reaction? Excellent choice for us - other potential buyers should at least consider the Lincoln MKX seriously.

Awesome Car and value for the Money!
By Moses on Thursday, July 28, 2016Took ownership in June 2016, did a lot of homework on this car for a year... Look at the Jaguar, drove the Jaguar my sister has... Little to small for my size body frame! Would have gotten the BL but was short on colors So I settle on top of line Res custom ordered Waited 10 weeks well worth it... I'm very Anneal when comes to details and quality Very! 4 words on my 2016 MKX... I Love My Lincoln MKX!!! Best car I've owned... and I have owner 20 new cars. If wanted a sport car or car that handles well on European roads... The Jag would have been the car... But I live in America where the roads are flat and straight and the speed is 55 to 70 mph max. I wish to travel in quite luxury style safety and class!! This is what the MKX brings to the table.. But don't take my word, you mush go test drive one with the 2.7 AWD and yes for 4600lbs car it will and can run with the best of the luxury SUVs...

The 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson has died from injuries sustained in an alleged assault by the boyfriend of the child's mother, according to police in Sioux Falls, S.D.
Joseph Patterson, the mother's 27-year-old boyfriend, has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery of an infant. Police say the state attorney's office is reviewing the case to consider additional charges against Patterson, who is being held in the Minnehaha County Jail.
Peterson, the NFL's reigning most valuable player, spoke to the media at Vikings headquarters Friday and requested privacy.
"I really appreciate all the support that I've been receiving from fans, the Vikings organization," Peterson said in a brief news conference in the locker room, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "This is a private matter and I would ask you all to please just respect my privacy and not ask at all about the situation at hand. Thanks."
Police responded to a 911 call about a child who was choking. The toddler was unresponsive when police arrived. Doctors later determined his injuries were consistent with abuse and not accidental.
Police are withholding the child's name at the request of the family.
The team excused Peterson from practice this week so he could be at his son's bedside.
Peterson said he will play Sunday in a home game against Carolina, but Vikings Coach Leslie Frazier left open the possibility of Peterson not playing.
The running back explained his decision to return to practice Friday.
"Football is something I will always fall back on," he said. "It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, that's what I need in my life."

Cheesecake shop banking on success in Bridgeport's Arcade mall
BRIDGEPORT — Sandra Williams had her eye on a space within the Arcade mall for over a year before she was offered a lease.
"It's beautiful and it's historic," Williams said of the downtown building. "I just love the atmosphere."
The Bronx resident said she had looked at spaces in New York City first but discarded other options when she saw the inside of the Arcade. She opened her store, La Signature Cheesecakes, recently in a space formerly occupied by a cupcake shop.
Despite the number of businesses that have tried and failed to make their business work within the renovated building, Williams said she is confident her business will thrive. "It's not your ordinary cheesecake," she said.
From Oreo cheesecakes to mango pies and the popular red velvet desserts, Williams said she is always coming up with new recipes and adding to her offerings. The oversized slices cost $6 each or entire cheesecakes can be purchased starting at $16 for a 6-inch cheesecake.
Although she has been baking for years, Williams began coming up with her own cheesecake recipes less than two years ago. "I was sowing seeds (by) giving them away and people started placing orders," she said. "People were like, 'Where is your bakery?'"
Monica Ropiza, who works at the nearby Dunkin Donuts, said she stopped in recently and bought a whole cherry cheesecake. It was so good, it didn't last very long, she said.
"I'm going to come here all the time," Ropiza said.
Another customer and downtown employee, Mark Bogues, said he's seen businesses come and go in the Arcade over the last six years, including a pharmacy, grocery store and restaurant. But he said he's convinced Williams has a model that will work.
Bogues said he's tried three different varieties of her cheesecakes and loved them all.
"I do believe her business will survive and thrive here," he said.
Although the cheesecakes were the reason for pursuing a business, Williams also specializes in wedding and birthday cakes and accepts orders for all kinds of designs. In the display cases in her shop, Williams often has other dessert options, as well, including a variety of cupcake flavors.
More recently, she added a daily lunch special to her food offerings, which were limited at first to chicken and beef patties. Williams, who is from Jamaica, said those were so popular she began to receive customer requests for Jamaican cuisine.
She now offers one lunch option a day, like curried chicken, barbecue chicken or curried goat, served with rice and beans or steamed vegetables. Williams said she has asked customers to order in advance so she can make sure to have enough food available.
Williams, who runs the business with her daughter, Kaydene, said she has been looking to hire an employee. "Sometimes it gets real busy in here," she said.
She said she has found that putting a sign outside the mall building advertising her business, which has no outside signage, has drawn customers in. "The very first day I opened it was flooded and it has not ceased," Williams said.

Luck = 100 x better than Sanchez
These Packers are not your grandfather's Packers and look on their way to an 8-8 season. I hear what you're saying though.
ummmm....you do realize the Colts have Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne, while we have Mark Sanchez and Chaz Schilens right?
Sad to say, but the Colts are a better team than the Jets right now. Give it a couple of years and they'll be in the playoffs every year again.
Maybe if we can trade for Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne before kickoff
Not to mention the Colts mostly won that game off of emotion/adrenaline. We don't have an ailing coach to play for, just a blowhard who's coming apart at the seams.
Houston has a better D. No way Indy would be able to throw on them like they did with GB.
Houstons D is way better than GBs and they have Andrew Luck. and a motivated team which we havent had for a while now.
The colts have one of the best qbs in the league and we have mark 'turd" sanchez.
Cushing is gonna get that shot on Mark that he was dreaming he could take in college. Our line is for ****. Don't kid yourself that this is even gonna be close.
Just bet my buddy, gave him the Jets plus 50 for a beer. I'm gonna win.

Return to equilibrium of net magnetization is called Relaxation. During relaxation, electromagnetic energy is retransmitted: this RF emission is called the NMR signal. Relaxation combines 2 different mechanisms :
Longitudinal relaxation is due to energy exchange between the spins and surrounding lattice (spin-lattice relaxation), re-establishing thermal equilibrium. As spins go from a high energy state back to a low energy state, RF energy is released back into the surrounding lattice.
The recovery of longitudinal magnetization follows an exponential curve. The recovery rate is characterized by the tissue-specific time constant T1. After time T1, longitudinal magnetization has returned to 63 % of its final value. With a 1.5 T field strength, T1 values are about 200 to 3000 ms. T1 values are longer at higher field strengths.
Transverse relaxation results from spins getting out of phase. As spins move together, their magnetic fields interact (spin-spin interaction), slightly modifying their precession rate. These interactions are temporary and random. Thus, spin-spin relaxation causes a cumulative loss in phase resulting in transverse magnetization decay. Transverse magnetization decay is described by an exponential curve, characterized by the time constant T2. After time T2, transverse magnetization has lost 63 % of its original value.
T2 is tissue-specific and is always shorter than T1. Transverse relaxation is faster than longitudinal relaxation. T2 values are unrelated to field strength.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Online retailers like Amazon.com Inc. that have facilities within West Virginia would have to collect the state's 6 percent sales tax on purchases by residents, under legislation introduced Wednesday for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
The governor's proposal opens a new bid to reap revenues from e-commerce. Brick-and-mortar businesses, which are subject to sales taxes, complain they must compete with online rivals on an unfair playing field. West Virginia has long belonged to a multi-state coalition that pursues sales taxes through cooperating retailers. Wednesday's bill also comes amid similar efforts in other states and in Congress, where the latest version of the proposed Marketplace Fairness Act was introduced earlier this month.
Tomblin's measure would apply to an out-of-state retailer that maintains a warehouse, office or other facility in West Virginia. Amazon recently opened a 70,000-square-foot customer service center in Huntington. A spokesperson for the Seattle-based e-commerce giant did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
States have followed this approach to collecting e-retail sales taxes since a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling barred them from seeking such revenues from businesses without a physical presence within their borders.
Indiana's House voted overwhelmingly earlier this month to pass a similar proposal for that state, which has hosted an Amazon warehouse since 2007. Lawmakers in Missouri and Florida are also looking at ways to capture online sales revenue.
Georgia adopted a law this year requiring Amazon to collect taxes on in-state sales, but officials there say the retailer isn't complying. Meanwhile, Amazon announced earlier this month that it would begin collecting Connecticut's sales tax, ending a two-year legal dispute there, while promising to spend $50 million to build an order-fulfillment center and create hundreds of jobs.
After shuttering distribution centers and canceling contracts in fights with states over sales taxes, Amazon as of late last year had begun collecting them on orders shipped to seven states, including New York and Texas, while agreeing to do the same in six more.
Nearly half the states, including West Virginia, have signed onto the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. Online and catalog retailers voluntarily agree to levy sales taxes on behalf of compact participants. Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow said it has yielded $4 million to $5 million for West Virginia annually.
"It's been somewhat successful in collecting revenue for the state," Muchow said Wednesday
But a recent University of Tennessee study estimates that West Virginia missed $50.6 million in sales tax revenues from e-commerce last year.
"It is the position of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce that everyone who owes tax should pay it," Chamber President Steve Roberts said. "We are happy to support the governor in his proposal, to ensure that those who owe tax are either collecting the tax or are paying it from their own resources."
Sales and use taxes are projected to bring in nearly $1.2 billion during the budget year that ends June 30, or close to 30 percent of West Virginia's general tax revenues. The taxes had yielded $727 million by the end of January, or nearly 1 percent below their to-date estimate. Little or no growth is projected for general tax revenues during the coming budget year.
Tomblin's legislation has been assigned to the House and Senate finance committees.

Ephemera is a very broad category of collecting. It is anything that is transitory and not intended to be retained or preserved. It comes from the Greek and Latin words. Epi means "on" or "for" and hemera means "day". As a site dedicated to books we mostly keep to paper based ephemera such as bookmarks, catalogs, film scripts and screenplays, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, posters, tickets, zines, or other documents. While they are not technically ephemera, being that they were not meant to be disposable, AbeBooks also features some items which are author or book related memorabilia such as personal typewriters, portraits and illustrators sketches, official documents, and other such things.
A great piece of ephemera can fit alongside any tradition book collection or your entire collection can consist of ephemera. Every collector will do things differently and, just with books, you have to pick the type of ephemera that suits your passion.
Posters, labels, book and magazine inserts, catalogs or flyers and newspaper clippings are the most common forms of collectible print advertisements. The value of the advertisement depends largely on the collector's interest but generally large brightly colored logos, discontinued brands or products or famous ad campaigns are popular themes for collections.
In the 15th century book printing began to take off and the concept of the bookmark was born. The earliest bookmarks were generally cloth or silk and most often sewn into the spine. Detached bookmarks became more prominent towards the middle of the 19th century and paper bookmarks did not become commonplace until closer to the 1880s. Today bookmarks are essential promotional items for publishers, book retailers, libraries and much more.
Typed and autograph (hand-written) letters are one of the most vibrant areas for collectors of ephemera. From a simple 'thank you' note to a rambling incoherent rant, letters can offer remarkable insights into the lives of authors, artists, scientists, politicians and other figures of importance or interest. With the advent of email, letters also have historical importance.
Many book collectors are drawn to periodicals and magazines – novels used to be frequently serialised in periodicals, writers are regularly interviewed and many authors still contribute essays and articles to magazines. But literary ties are not essential when considering a collection of magazines, a collector could be drawn to the artwork or particular issues of historical or social significance. The first issue of Playboy would a prized treasure for many collectors.
Collecting maps is a rewarding and colorful pastime. It can also be quite expensive. Early maps are among the most valuable and collectible ephemera items available. Countless antiquarian book dealers also offer maps and atlases as the demand is so strong. Collectors can follow a specific cartographer or a region as large as a continent or a small provincial town.
A manuscript is usually the first iteration of a book as it was conceived by the author. A manuscript would be a copy which pre-dates an uncorrected proof or galley. These are often marked, unbound and sometimes handwritten. Most often they are one-of-a-kind or possibly copied for a small number of individuals.
Newspapers are somewhat similar to magazines, but papers contain current news that has been localized and, of course, they are published more frequently. If you are looking to collect newspapers it's useful to know that papers printed prior to the American Civil War were printed on a much higher quality paper and are more likely to survive than their post-war counterparts. Modern newspapers are printed on a highly acidic paper and degrade at an alarming rate if not carefully managed.
This is one of the more narrow categories of ephemera and includes objects like checks, passports, birth certificates, wills and other official documents from deceased persons. On AbeBooks these kinds of documents occasionally appear for authors or other literary figures and for a hardcore collector these items could become a showcase piece for a collection.
Photographs can be collected as a beloved art form, or because of who or what is, or because of who took the image, or simply because early examples are instrumental in revealing the development of a new technology. The earliest photographs emerged from the first half of the 19th century from Frenchman Louis Daguerre who developed the "camera obscura" in the 1820s.
From the Linen Era and White Border Era to the erotic French postcards and saucy English seaside cards, postcard collectors have many genres to browse. But the most collectible and expensive cards are treasured because of who sent and signed them rather than what was printed on the front.
Posters are another beloved artistic medium, created as product or service advertisements, promotional tools for political campaigns or just for art itself. It has been an extraordinarily powerful advertising medium and given us some of the most iconic imagery in history – think of the Jaws movie poster or the Your Country Needs You posters.
Before financial transactions were digitally recorded, you would receive a physical piece of paper explaining what portion of a company you owned. These certificates were often very colorful and have since become quite collectible to some.
One of the more bizarre forms of paper-related ephemera, telephone directories are most often collected for a functional purpose even when expired. Genealogists will often use old telephone directories to track the movements of ancestors and learn where they lived decades ago.

The revival of Matthew McConaughey's career continues apace with the announcement he will be receiving the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the 25th annual Palm Springs International Film festival.
The awards gala will be Jan. 4, during the festival running Jan. 3-14, 2014.
McConaughey is receiving rave reviews for his performance as Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club," a real-life saga of a hard-living electrician and small-time rodeo rider who is diagnosed with HIV in the mid-'80s. Given only a month to live, Woodroof pursued alternative treatments and survived for seven years.
McConaughey has performed a remarkable turnaround the last few years, transforming from an at-times half-heartedly unconvincing romantic lead in forgettable films to an electrifying, undeniable screen presence.
His varied string of recent performances includes turns in Richard Linklater's "Bernie," William Friedkin's "Killer Joe," Lee Daniels' "The Paperboy," Jeff Nichols' "Mud" and Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike." McConaughey will also be seen in Martin Scorsese's upcoming "The Wolf of Wall Street."
McConaughey's striking physical transformation for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club" would seem to make it awards-friendly. Last year as he was lending awards-season support to his performance in "Magic Mike," his frail and gaunt appearance for his "Dallas Buyers" part made him at times an awkward presence, difficult in some ways to even look at.
Now supporting his "Dallas Buyers Club" role with the return of his movie-star dazzle, he seems to be getting the formula just right.
Numerous winners of the Desert Palm have gone on to Oscar nominations and even wins, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper and Sean Penn.
