An elementary session of the trial for the Christian charity World Vision's Head of Mission in Gaza, Mohammed al-Halabi, was held behind closed doors on Tuesday morning in Be'er Sheva, the southern city of Israel.
"Sorry, we are forbidden at this stage to talk about the case, to talk about the details of the case. Even to talk about about the evidence in the file." Lea Tzemal told Palestine Monitor before entering the court.
Amnesty International condemns this "secret trial". For Magdalena Mughrabi, Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International, "The allegation of stealing money intended to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is extremely serious. This makes it all the more pressing to ensure that Mohammed al-Halabi's rights are fully respected and that his trial be fair and transparent. Secret trials are the most flagrant violation of the right to a public hearing. Holding these court proceedings behind closed doors render any convictions obtained unsound."
Mohammed al-Halabi, is facing 12 charges including being a member of a "terrorist organization" and siphoning off the charity's funds for "terrorism" purposes. Israel's Shin Bet security agency said Mohammed al-Halabi siphoned about $7.2 million a year to the Islamic militant group over a period of five years. The security agency said this is roughly 60 percent of World Vision's total budget for Gaza.
Israel is confident going into the trial, as the Israeli Foriegn Ministry Spokesman ,Emmanuel Nahshlon, confirmed "I think that the facts are known and are really clear. These facts are based on documents. These documents are from World vision in fact, they are documents from the organization itself, they are documents from Mr. al-Halabi himself that demonstrates the way he used to embezzle money to buy weapons and build tunnels for the Hamas."
Kevin Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of World Vision International said in a statement that no evidence has been found that could uphold this charge. "World Vision's cumulative operating budget in Gaza for the past ten years was approximately $22.5 million, which makes the alleged amount of up to $50 million being diverted hard to reconcile."
Lea Tzemal, Mohammed Halabi's lawer explained to Palestine Monitor "The organization have always supported him, and have confirmed all of his claims. The budget is much smaller then what Israel claims he embezzled".
For the moment, the NGO has currently suspended all their projects in the Palestinian territories pending an internal review.
The World Vision case has not occurred in isolation. In the same week of al-Halabi, other NGOs were also in Israel's firing line, as a Palestinian employee of Save the Children was also reportedly accused of being a Hamas member, and Waheed Borsh a Palestinian staff member of the UNDP has been accused of providing "material assistance" to Hamas.
Lea Tzemal who is also Waheed Borsh's lawyer explained this wave of arrests as deeply political. "The link is that Israel probably decided to launch attacks on humanitarian organisations that act in Gaza. So with one hand Israel is destroying Gaza and with another hand it does not enable proper rehabilitation of the strip."
The court decided on Tuesday to postpone Mohammed al-Halab's trial until October. A few days earlier, it was also decided to delay Borsh's trial to September 29.

OF@TEIN Documents and Open Boards¶
What is OF@TEIN?
OF@TEIN collaboration community was established to carry out "OF@TEIN: Toward an OpenFlow-enabled SDN (Software-Defined Networking) Infrastructure over TEIN" project. It was launched in July 2012 and led by Prof. JongWon Kim from NetCS (Networked Computing Systems) Laboratory, GIST (Gwangju Institute of Science & Technology), Korea. The main objective of OF@TEIN community collaboration was to deploy a shared OpenFlow-based SDN testbed infrastructure among Korea, South-East Asia and South Asia collaborators over TEIN4. In this OF@TEIN community collaboration, a unique hyper-convergent SmartX Box is designed and deployed in each site to promote the international SDN research collaboration over TEIN4 network infrastructure. Up to now, there are five kinds (Type A/B/B+/B*/C) of unique SmartX Boxes being built for physical/virtual nodes for OpenFlow Switches, Capsulators, and VM (virtual machine) Workers. By virtue of OF@TEIN community collaboration numerous success stories have been achieved till date.
In order to enhance and expend the OF@TEIN collaboration community, an OF@TEIN+ project team from 12 countries has been formed with the following goals to establish OF@TEIN+ Open Consortium (2015~2016) based on existing OF@TEIN collaborators (i.e., 7 countries) and recruiting new collaborators from other countries, provide the TEIN community with the opportunity to play ("Experience") with a shared SDN-Cloud and DataFarm Playground and establish OF@TEIN operation/support team and tools to operate OF@TEIN Playground and provide technical guidance/training while addressing/solving several targeted technical challenges;
Following partners from existing OF@TEIN collaboration community will continue to participate in the proposed OF@TEIN+ project:
The overview diagram of OF@TEIN infrastructure, built through the collaborative effort of OF@TEIN partners, is depicted below:

CNN's Jill Dougherty reports on the U.S.-Russian stalemate as Edward Snowden, the admitted leaker of once-secret surveillance programs, apparently remains hold up in a transit area in Moscow's airport.
So America owns russia? and ur not a patriot if you beleive in privacy?? confused....soooo confused
Chicken sh!t Snowdung, seeking asylum to cold war enemies, all communist countries. May be he was a communist spy.
give putin some head gayboy and he will send him right to was dc
Judging by what you posted above, you're obviously a dirty minded Tea Partier caught up in that anti-Snowden, right-wing lynch mob mentality currently sweeping this country. Where is your shame, john?
no send him a football ring and see Putin delivering Snowdung in his private jet.
The latest news is that Mr. Snowden is stuck because cannot buy ticket without passport. His attorney Sarah Harrison entered negotiations with Tom Hanks' agents about possible movie deal tentatively called "Airport 2". At this moment is is now known how much progress has been made, except that the deal is going to be "lucrative".
Snowden has certainly been a dog and pony show.
But whose pony is he really... and who is running this circus ?
Since [apparently] Snowden is in Moscow with [supposedly] US state secrets...
I'm sure ex-KGB agent/FSB director, Vladimir Putin, is aware this could be a set up.
Bravo Mr. Putin, Bravo. Our government can no longer effectively run their own house, so don't let them pressure you into doing something you don't want to in yours. I hope Snowden and Assange both make it to Ecuador and Wikileaks continues it's good works. When a people is kept in the dark, there is no hope. Enlightened people are the emissaries of hope. Thanks to both of them for shining a light and giving hope to those of us who have all but forsaken this system of government we now live in.
Amen to your human way of thinking and you are not the only true American that thinks like that. Take care and watch your 180
Good posting, A Real American. Thank you. How true that rings!!!
I fully stand with Vladimir Putin on this one. Let's just hope that he doesn't cave in to the right-wing thugs in Washington and allows Edward Snowden go wherever he wants. How great it is not to see the right-wing thugs in Washington get their way for one time!
Standoff? There is no standoff. Putin made it very clear yerterday: Russia DOES NOT CARE. Mr. Snowden did not commit any crime on Russian territory, and in fact, he even never entered Russia as he does not have a Russian visa. Nor did he made any act which is considered a crime under Russian Law. He is a free man and he is free to proceed on his jorney into a country of his chosing. Putin also made it very clear that Mr. Snowden is not interesting for Russian intelligence, FSB, etc., and they are not talking to him. At the end of his statement Mr. Putin said that being involved here is like shaving a pig: not much wool, but too much scream, basically useless.
The actions of China and Russian should threaten both their "most favored nation" trade status. If they want to act this way, they should pay the consequences.
If I were you jboh, I'd be ashamed to display my lack of intelligence by posting such comments like yours! Edward Snowden did the right thing and should never have been indicted in the first place as anyone with any sense of decency would know!
@Joseph McCarthy,get your head out of your nether regions bud..Snowden went to work for BOOZ for one reason and that's to bring the CIA,NSA down..The only way that traitor is going to stay with Putin in Russia is with a hole in the back of his head aka sniper shot,got it!!And you bud were probibly part of the reason behind the Patriot Act,Homeland Security indirectly in voting not once but twice in that imbecile from Texas in Bush...Remember if Bush would had followed up on that intel Clintons Intel team left his crew about terrorists hitting major cities stateside there probibly wouldn't had ever been a 9/11 but you know when you go outta town some 450 days in your first two years things obviously will go wrong and 9/11 was obviously just one of them right Joe McCarthy or are you still delushional thinking this Snowden weasel is a hero and if you do go hold hands with him in that Russian airport if yah got the stones to do it!!
thank you Putin
Thank him for what? Helping terrorists avoid detection? How will you feel about it when another attack occurs?
He will get caught sooner or later. Mr.Putin is just sticking it to us for a bit.
I wonder, has our US government finally come to realize that Putin is NOT our "friend"? Putin bambozzled our government every since he came into power. Idiot, GWB, sat next to Putin at the Chinese Olympics and gushed praise for him (at the same moment, Putin's troops were invading the country of Georgia to "teach them a lesson"). Hillary embarassingly carried her "Reset Button" to Moscow, another diplomatic flop! Now, Obama and Kerry expect Putin to act totally different? Surprise! Putin is probably the wisest and most cunning world leader today, yet no one realizes this! What Putin wants. Putin gets! The West has no leader with such cunning achievements, NONE! Putin's huge dual pipeline under the Baltic Sea to send Russian gas to Europe is just one stunning achievement. Here we cannot build one small pipeline to get Canadian oil to the Gulf for export to China!!!
Putin is NOT our friend, and never will be! Wake up to this fact!
Im just saying Mr. Putin has a lever to stick it to us for a bit, I never said He was a friend.
Other complete failures of US "foreign policy":
"Shock and Awe" to remove Sadaam from power in Iraq! What an achievement! Today, Iraq's best friend is Iran not us. Afghanistan, we installed a complete crook who now bitterly complains about us but has done nothing for his own people! Egypt, who knows where this will go, meanwhile Egypt's economy goes down the toilet! Job well done! It simply goes on and on. Removing dictators, simply on principles, has not worked and never will!
I agree, Putin is "sticking it to us", so did China. Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are doing the same!
Yet all our politicians care about is fund raising! What the hell has happened to our country?
@StanCalif,ever hear about not only cutting foriegn aid but sanctions as well ..We don't need anyone even China and remember who Chinas biggest buyer of their cheap Chinese crap,us not Russia or anyone else..Just look how OPEC is starting to sweat because our consumption of their crude is down because of our increased production stateside the most in over 20 years..And remember who's country monetary system all countrys work with ours not the Euro or any one else's..In a nutshell we are still the most powerful nation that leads this world and eventually Snowden will come back here like it or not to face trial for espionage...
Anyone who rats out America can go to hell...................
I agree Farrok, time to hang this son of a b.
America is the root of all terror. America has invaded sixty countries since world war 2.
In 1953 America overthrow Iran's democratic government Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a brutal dictator Shah. America helped Shah of Iran to establish secret police and killed thousands of Iranian people.
During Iran-Iraq war evil America supported Suddam Hossain and killed millions of Iranian people. In 1989, America, is the only country ever, shot down Iran's civilian air plane, killing 290 people.
In 2003,America invaded Iraq and killed 1,000,000+ innocent Iraqi people and 4,000,000+ Iraqi people were displaced.
Now America is a failed state with huge debt. Its debt will be 22 trillion by 2015.
There is a reason they only teach American history in American schools.
No one cares what you have to say "John Smith"
If America is so bad, why don't you just leave?
Standoff my butt they can keep the coward feed and house him for the rest of his worthless life.
so says the brainwashed pawn of the NWO.
Forget your tinfoil hat again?
Well said, Biots. USMC1371 is just caught up in the right-wing lynch mob mentality currently running rampant across the country like the majority of the general public, unfortunately!
@Joseph McCarthy,do you consider yourself a patriot,or an American that's in denile for what you did years ago that led to this voting for Bush...The Patriot Act,Homeland security has been in existance for over 10 years and because Pres.Obama signed extentions on both plus legitimately making it safer for all Americans and their rights,liberties you like most complain now !!Please explain if you're for these intrusive policies that Bush gave us because he screwed up in really securing this countrys borders after again getting intel that would of given us a head start on heading off a major terrorist plot,the plot that ended in 9/11 killing over 3000 people and starting an unfunded war with lies no less..Let me know why you're so hung op on that traitor in Snowden because besides being so delushional you and others must think nothing of someone handing out our classified Intel so they can use it against us later and obviously you either don't care for our country as a whole or possibly you don't reside in these states at all even with a name as that..Come out of your hole and explain why you think he's a hero because if another countrys people attacks us like in 9/11 maybe you can go thank him yourself if you can find him alive!!

Fan-filmed video footage of FEAR FACTORY's April 18, 2010 performance in Tallinn, Estonia as the support act for METALLICA can be viewed below.
FEAR FACTORY is set to kick off the second leg of its American "Fear Campaign" tour on May 14 at The Rialto Theater in Tucson, Arizona. The trek, also featuring PRONG and THY WILL BE DONE, will visit twenty cities before it concludes at The Trocadero Theater in Philadelphia.
After a successful performance at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles on April 8, scheduled for television broadcast via VH1 on May 22, FEAR FACTORY flew to Oslo, Norway for a eight-show run with METALLICA. The band, like many others, is resorting to travel by land and sea, with more than 20,000 flights cancelled on the European continent last week due to the volcanic activity happening in Iceland. Guitarist Dino Cazares notes, "It took us over 24 hours to get from Oslo to Riga in Latvia with METALLICA and their crew of 50-plus people on a charter bus and ferry. All flights were cancelled because of the volcanic ash in the air." Vocalist Burton C. Bell adds, "We took a ferry from Oslo to get to Latvia. It was the METALLICA party boat; good times. We are basically taking buses and trains everywhere so if you can catch us, catch us."
FEAR FACTORY's new single, "Final Exit", follows the success of earlier metal radio singles "Powershifter" and "Fear Campaign". Two special edits of the eight-minute song are now playing via three of AOL Radio's online music channels. Rhys Fulber with Cazares and Bell realized the edits while the band was touring the U.S. in late March. The song has already received specialty airplay via Active Rock stations KUPD in Phoenix, Arizona and KEYJ in Abilene, Texas.
Lyrically, "Final Exit" draws attention to the much criticized and sensitive issue of self-deliverance as introduced in the 1992 book by Derek Humphry, founder of the Hemlock Society and past president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies. Bell explains, "Dino and I have created the edits to condense the song into a time specific for radio. We are very happy fans are loving the song for it is one that touches upon the importance of the freedom of choice and personal liberty that all human beings should be allowed. The song hopefully will create awareness for the support group Final Exit Network," the song's namesake. Passionately Bell continues, "The right to life extends beyond life itself. If the medical community cannot, and will not find a cure due to cost effectiveness, then humanity needs the choice of a dignified, self-deliverance from continual, painful treatments from debilitating disease. We have been contacted by many fans who connect with this song on many levels, and with 'Final Exit' being played on the radio, we hope others will also become aware, understand, and enjoy this song."
FEAR FACTORY's new album, "Mechanize", was released in the U.S. on February 9, 2010 via Candlelight Records. The CD, which was co-produced by the band with Rhys Fulber (FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, PARADISE LOST), was mixed by Greg Reely (PARADISE LOST, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, SKINNY PUPPY).
FEAR FACTORY's current lineup — featuring original FF members Dino Cazares (guitar) and Burton C. Bell (vocals) alongside bassist Byron Stroud (who was credited on the last two FEAR FACTORY albums in addition to touring and recording with STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and ZIMMERS HOLE) and legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (DETHKLOK, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DARK ANGEL, DEATH, TESTAMENT) — made its live debut on December 4, 2009 at Espaço Lux in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil.

Public engagement: Knowing what we need to measurePosted: March 16th, 2015 | Author: Chris Berendes | Filed under: Civic engagement, Framework, Metrics | 3 Comments »
What decisions do we face?
Now that we've sketched out what one type of public engagement does and how it does it, we can get a better handle on the kinds of decisions that will arise as we manage a public engagement process.
In the middle of a public engagement project, the most basic decision a manager faces is "are we done yet?".
In considering projects in retrospect, for instance if we're considering what methods or consultants to use for an upcoming assignment, the basic question might be "was the project successful?".
These big questions break down into lots of little questions, as we can see in our bridge example.
Is more engagement work required to create the needed level of long term support across stakeholders? Can we count on the bridge's neighbors to see the project out, in spite of the disruptions we expect as a result of construction? What about unrealistic expectations: Have the overly rosy hopes for rush hour traffic reductions been corrected? And what about perceived unfairness: Are the city's taxpayers likely to continue to fund bridge maintenance though the bridge benefits primarily commuters?
Questions like these could be addressed by polling, surveys, and interviews of the relevant stakeholders.
Of course, since the goal is long-term stakeholder support, the proof of the pudding is whether – five, ten, and twenty years hence – the support is there. Research centers and foundations that study public engagement should revisit past projects to determine how well stakeholder support was sustained.
Component Processes
As we manage each of the five component processes as the public engagement effort proceeds, we are continually making one important decision:
Have we done enough at each particular stage to allow succeeding stages to be successful?
This is a broad topic, but I'll illustrate the approach with questions that could, in turn, drive metrics.
OUTREACH: Are we reaching cyclists as well as commuters, low income as well as middle income residents? Does the sample group pulled into the engagement process match the larger stakeholder population in key characteristics? As this larger population changes over time, can we pull the right kinds of new members into our sample group to stay in synch? Have we pulled in enough participants for subsequent processes to succeed, e.g. for a survey to be statistically reliable?
These questions can be answered by demographic surveys of participants, compared to polls of the underlying population of stakeholders.
SOCIAL SURVEY: Can we use our survey of commuters, our interviews with cyclists, our polls of taxpayers to design relevant education efforts and anticipate the key issues in the negotiation phase? Are we assessing all stakeholder groups in a reliable way? Are we following the relevant best practices from statistics, ethnography, and so forth?
EDUCATION, INFORMATION, PUBLIC RELATIONS: Do our presentations to automobile association members in fact bring commuters up to speed about the different needs of cyclists? Do users engage with our website in enough depth to understand the uncertainties in the bridge construction project? Do the bridge's neighbors have a clear sense of how construction will affect them?
NEGOTIATION: Is the negotiation phase structured to address the concerns we've uncovered in the social survey phase? Once the negotiation phase has concluded, are taxpayers ready to support the bridge? Are cyclists comfortable that they'll be able to use the bridge safely? If we've added a park project to compensate the bridge's neighbors for the construction impact, does the neighborhood understand and accept the relationship between the park and the main bridge project?
OPENING UP: Once we've opened up the process, are taxpayers who weren't directly involved in the previous four phases as supportive of the bridge project as taxpayers who participated in the negotiation? Are the bicycle activists we didn't reach with the initial public education campaign comfortable that they too will be able to use the bridge safely? Are the stakeholders who participated in the public engagement process directly and those who learned of the process through our dissemination similar in their degree of project understanding and support?
Metrics, Decision-Making, and an Orientation to Results
This post demonstrates the value of the view of public engagement laid out in the previous two posts. By fitting public engagement into the larger picture of public infrastructure projects, we have a context for considering the kinds of decisions that will need to be made, and thus what kinds of questions and metrics will be useful.

Hey girl you are such an inspiration. You lost all the weight doing it the right way. Eating better and lots of exercise. You should consider doing a motivation/inspiration speaker. There are many over-weight people that believe they can't get back to healthy. They just need someone like you to tell them it is possible. Congratulations!!
The weight came on more when I become pregnant and never would loose the weight and then would go through the battle of loosing the weight all over again. This will be the third time I've been on this journey. Before my wedding I lost 80lbs, got pregnant on my honeymoon. 2 years later I loose 60lbs to get pregnant yet again! 5 years later I start the journey yet again. Now I'm down 105lbs and still working on it. I've hit a wall and not loosing any weight. I've started to change my diet again doing different exercises to see if I can get some movement in the right direction. I'm not giving up like I have in the past, I'm going to stick with this to get to my goal!
May ask how have you done it? I have done it through exercise and strict diet. It has been a hard road of monitoring what I'm eating while other's around me and even me cooking for them a regular meal and I'm eating lean proteins with few carbs and very little sugar. It has not been an easy road and it will not be an easy road to keep it off but I'm grateful for where I am and the journey I have had to take to get here.
It's funny when you see people and they ask how much you have lost. When I say 105lbs, some people say congrats but MOST will look at me and then with a shocked look try to change the subject. It's like they don't know if they should say wow you were very heavy or wow you were obese.
It's like with any disease or addiction from the outside people who don't have to deal with it have no clue what it is like. This journey has helped me be more understanding of others and not being so judgemently (still working on this one). Some of us wear our demons on the outside (like being over weight) and some on the inside.
I'm still a work in progress and taking one day at a time. I find help from asking God to help me with this journey some may not and again this is a no judgement place. We all find the thing that helps us move forward.
I hope that my journey of failure and progress can help others. Telling my story is one of the biggest form of humility I've had in a long time. Weight has been a hard struggle for me and has pushed me to the ground many times. Many people try to help in their own way and sometimes this help can be very hurtful. People really do try their best and that is another lesson to learn (still working on that one too) that even with the words that cut like swords to my soul are coming from a place of love.
People around us may not always be that GREAT support system that we need, but that is something we need to learn that we have to do it by ourselves and for us.
Still on my journey and I'll make it there some day it may be in the next few weeks or maybe the next few months. I know that it's a journey and one that I will be on for the rest of my life.
A few years back my friend gave me a book by our Pastor Dean Curry @ Life Center (Boost! 52 Infusions of wisdom to revolutionize the way you think and live):
My resentments almost always come from pride. I think I deserve more deference, gratitude and ease then Jesus enjoyed. HUMBLE yourself ....
The most beautiful places in nature have been shaped by STORMS more then by SUNSHINE.
What happens TO YOU doesn't have to be a curse .... ON YOU. You can REVIEW, REBUKE, or RENEW everything that happens.
God often hides something you need in someone (or something) you don't enjoy. M.Murdock.
"Brokenness" can become a blessing! How? It RELEASES us from attachment, REMINDS us of grace to live by, and RECONNECTS us to purpose.
Humility is living without the need for a BOOST UP for yourself or a PUT DOWN for someone else.
Optimism isn't overlooking FACTS to paint a false picture; it's overcoming FEAR to paint a better future.

Lyricist, composer, songwriter (and sometime actor) Van Dyke Parks has always been a quiet rogue. A Mister Geppetto contently creating works that bloom into strange and wonderful adventures.
Most famously involved as a lyricist in the Beach Boys' Smile sessions (where Mike Love politely told him 'not to fuck with the formula'), Van Dyke Parks has collaborated widely and regularly. Randy Newman, Ry Cooder and Joanna Newsom have all worked with him to lavish, yet understated, effect. Songs Cycled continues with this endearing, subversive, approach. Some track from this album were previously released as limited edition vinyl singles on his own imprint, Bananastan, where visual artists (Ed Rushca, Art Spiegelman) provided mouth-watering sleeve designs.
When Van Dyke Parks released Song Cycle in 1968 he gained recognition for his strangely baroque interpretation of the great American songbook. This was an approach that sat outside of the genres of the time and pushed the traditional into the new. Songs Cycled stands out for pushing music back toward that 1968 dawn. This music sounds wonderfully alien in an age of electronically composed pop music.
'Dreaming of Paris' opens this new collection of work and is an original composition. It starts with wonky, discordantly weaving strings and banjos before establishing a pleasant country waltz. It steps to the wonderful free flowing tempo of musical cinema. The arrangements sit just behind the vocals so they can drop and stagger to enhance the dramatic pauses in the story. The song deceives by sounding like a Gene Kelly movie. As the lyrics move from "Man what a spread/The cabernet red" to "Bombs are dropping/It's just not stopping" it's obvious that on some level this is also a protest album.
A number of covers are included, track two being a version of his composition with Brian Wilson from Orange Crate Art, 'Hold Back Time'. Parks removes the pan-piped organs of the original and provides a more natural sound; he also omits percussion. Everything is steered by the vocals, the plucks of a banjo and the thrum of a mandolin. The song is pleasingly chaotic and free flowing. It feels almost improvised, as if it could change direction and tempo at any moment. It also lets Parks' vocal performances take charge, which they do admirably on this track and throughout the album.
This absence of percussion is a noticeable trait throughout the album. It enhances the sinister tones of the songs in which Parks reflects on world events. In these songs Parks assumes the roles of both the civilian poet and Greek God. He cries out to highlight man's flaws whilst also glancing down from the clouds, tutting to his peers, at the endless chances squandered in the pursuit of profit and power.
'Wall Street' casts an uncomfortable reflection on 9/11; "There is just nothing but ash in the air, confetti all covered in blood… In the confetti is human desire/Love letters lost in space/Now smoking". Pianos rumble whilst angelic female harmonies in the style of Burt Bacharach chime in with their judgements. The music is beautiful, the message poignant and powerful. The song is fantastic but not for the faint of heart.
The album's centrepiece is 'The Parting Hand'. It moves through several movements across six minutes. It contains an 1835 hymnal in the full tradition of unaccompanied choral music, but only for the first 90 seconds. Then it quickly fades and is replaced by a wonderful lullaby-like string arrangement; a big country harmonica comes in to add earthen tones. The harmonica and violin lines interplay with each other and echo each other. It's a gorgeous arrangement and something Brian Wilson would certainly have appreciated for his Smile sessions or even Pet Sounds. Following this a sole female voice enters for a few refrains of "leaning on Jesus" which changes the tone so that it feels uneasy. As this fades the song closes out with some more wonderful violin lines, but they shimmer cinematically over a slightly menacing cello arrangement. It's a great way to end the track, as it certainly doesn't feel resolved.
Like 'The Parting Hand', Songs Cycled has everything you'd want from Van Dyke Parks and from an album. By being true to the Van Dyke Parks' perception of what an album should contain, his music sounds as though it is from a different planet. In a Van Dyke Parks album the music matters and the words are opportunities to talk on issues of depth. May he continue to subvert for many years to come, classically.

Done up: Total restoration wins prize
ADDRESS: 118 Prospect Street, Staunton
NEIGHBORHOOD: Stuart Addition Historic District
SIZE: 2400 fin. sq. ft., 800 unfin.
LAND: 0.14 acres
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of 10
LISTED BY: Circa 1700 Builders Inc., 540-337-7514
People who respect old houses and want to see them restored to their former glory– with no cost-cutting or short-cuts, only authentic materials and careful attention to details– will understand the actions of the owners of this house in Staunton.
The couple who tackled this project– Connecticut natives who did this sort of meticulous restoration there before moving to Virginia last year– found themselves consumed by the past glory and the potential of the place. The result of their passion will appeal to a buyer who shares their sensibilities.
The original 1845 house consisted of four rooms and a porch. A 1904 addition added more rooms, and at some point after that, the place was converted to an over-and-under duplex– but in the most rudimentary way. Fortunately, very little was destroyed in the additions and conversions, so that when restoration began, there was a lot to work with.
Preserving as much as possible became a priority. For example, where less fastidious renovators might have restored the one-inch-thick random-width heart-pine flooring in place, these owners pulled up every plank to be re-milled and refinished. The result is some of the most beautiful flooring we've seen in any house. In the front hall, the wood has been finished in a "harlequin" pattern featuring dark-stained diamonds, which may be an exception to the "only original" commitment, but who knows? It's not impossible that the 1845 occupants had similar decorative touches in the house.
Other salvaged elements are all the original trim, a claw-foot tub in a bathroom, two mirror-topped mantels in the living room and study (or dining room), two-over-two double-hung windows, thick two-panel yellow-pine doors, and the concrete block facade sculpted to mimic chiseled limestone.
New features chosen to complement the original are an unusual hammered copper sink with tin tile backsplash and oiled bronze fixtures in the kitchen, art glass shades over the new island, and odd push-button light switches that look old but which include a dimmer button. New rooms were made from enclosing the two-story porch: a mudroom and half bath downstairs and a cork-floored laundry room upstairs.
But even the most careful restorers have to bow a little before modern demands. A wall was removed between the living room and kitchen to provide smooth flow between the rooms and a view straight from the front of the house to the back. In the kitchen, a concrete counter tops the island; all other counters are butcher-block. Hardwood maple cabinets with self-closing mechanisms look like they would make meal preparation a snap, as do the commercial-grade GE appliances.
Upstairs, the three bedrooms have carpet rather than hardwood floors, a disappointment in an old house. We expect that in new construction, but here it jars– although people stepping out of bed on cold mornings probably will care less than we do. And speaking of cold mornings, the house has dual heat sources: a heat pump for the second level and forced hot air fueled by a gas furnace downstairs. There's also a gas fireplace (alas) in the living room.
New porches have bead-board ceilings, cherry-stained wood floors, and the original railings. The inside staircase is also authentic (it was preserved in the duplex conversion)– a local woodworker copied the original balusters for the needed replacements. Upstairs fireplaces were removed to make room for closets (the chimneys are bricked up except for the gas-log flue), and those closets have neat little frame-mounted gizmos that turn the lights on automatically when the door is opened.
The neighborhood is an added benefit. The house is within sight of Mary Baldwin College, which has bought many of the houses across the street for college business. Next door is a re-do by a local architect, and downtown Staunton is within easy walking distance.
The yard– which is actually a lot and a half, with an old garage– is nice enough, considering the owners have chosen to direct their formidable talents to the restoration of the house rather than to landscaping. Foundation plantings, a few big trees, and a pretty new picket-ish fence keep it from being completely nondescript.
The Historic Staunton Foundation recently honored the house with its "total residential restoration" award, which should impress any buyers who need something official to cinch the deal. And prospective buyers who worry that the American Shakespeare Theater, the restoration of the old Visulite Theater and the Stonewall Jackson Hotel are not enough to lure them over the mountain will be interested to know that the people who redid this house are on their way to opening a hip new restaurant in the middle of town.
What more incentive does anyone need?

The B2B CFO GamePlan®
Bad news: For most business owners, selling their business is the biggest sale they will ever make, one in which they have the most risk and where they have the least experience. Unfortunately, there may be hundreds of obstacles in selling a business.
Good news: Our process helps to identify the obstacles owners face when selling their business. We have the tools and talents to assist clients to possibly overcome these hurdles with the desire to help them achieve their business transition goals.
The US Chamber of Commerce reports that only 6% of businesses sell. About 70% of would-be sellers never make it to the market. Of those who do, about 24% fail (The Exit Strategy Handbook, p. 25).
One of the hurdles owners face is the possible reduction of the value of their business during the period of time when the sales process begins and ends, as shown in the following graph.
We have invented software, called B2B Exit® to help business owners to overcome the hurdles of selling or transferring their business.
We also have an award-winning book that owners can use to overcome the hurdles standing between them and their dream.
Our goal is to show you how you can tackle the hurdles that stand between you and your dream and to possibly show you how to get the best possible return on the investments of money, blood, sweat and tears you've put into your business.
Our goal is to help solve these needs for business owners on a cost-effective basis.
Our process to help business owners with business transition needs is to spend about an hour with the owner to chat and to listen about their concerns. The meeting is confidential. The goal is to understand the needs of the owner in order to take the next step.
The next step is to complete The Discovery Analysis™. This is a four-step process, which usually takes about two hours with the company's staff.
- Meet with and interview the company's staff, which is typically the head of accounting and/or operations.
- Look at the company's financial information and computer systems.
- Benchmark the company's financial information against its industry averages.
- Create a confidential report of our key findings.
The next step is to complete The Strategy Session™. This is a four-step process.
- Meet with the owner for about 30 minutes to confidentially discuss the key findings from The Discovery Analysis™.
- Give the owner a complimentary copy of the industry comparison report.
- Review The Strategy Gameplan™.
- Discuss a preliminary timeline for The Performance Period™.
The next step is to complete The Performance Period™. This is a three-step process.
- Implement the agreed-upon action steps discussed in The Strategy Session™.
- Meet regularly with the business owner to discuss progress made.
- Meet immediately with the business owner if something important is discovered that was not discussed or known in The Strategy Session™.
The next step is to complete The Assessment Report™. This is a three-step process.
- Report the results of the agreed-upon action steps discussed in The Strategy Session™.
- Document and discuss any benefits or rewards from the services performed by B2B CFO®.
- Begin or continue an ongoing relationship with the owner as a trusted business transition business advisor.
In all that we do we follow The B2B CFO GamePlan® to meet the needs of owners of privately-held companies.

A teen-aged Jane Austen wrote a novella that she never even titled, much less published herself. It's been called Lady Susan, and now it's been made into a movie, "Love and Friendship." Austen is known for originating the romance novel. She really hit the sweet spot with readers ever since her brief career of 1811-1817. […]

After the opening teaser scene in this summer's Star Trek: Into Darkness, the film bursts into a batshit outer space title credit sequence, which sets the blood-boiling tone for the rest of the adventure. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how those rad 3D graphics were made.
The video above, made by special effects company Video Copilot, takes a fascinating look at the After Effects tricks the company used to create everything from the 3D-asteroid flyovers to the hazy atmospherics of the film's fast-paced titles. In particular, it's interesting to see the screenshots of the computer graphics in progress before they're rendered and exported for the big screen.
The video is partially a plug for Video Copilot's AE plugin, Element 3D, which who can blame them for the self-promotion, but I wish they'd cut some of the cheese-ball antics and stick to the goodness. Luckily, the CG specialists are better at VFX than they are at comedy: The last five minutes of this video are well worth your time. [Video Copilot]

(CMT Hot Dish is a weekly feature written by veteran columnist Hazel Smith. Author of the cookbook, Hazel's Hot Dish: Cookin' With Country Stars, she also hosts CMT's Southern Fried Flicks With Hazel Smith and shares her recipes at CMT.com.)
Unlike the girls on the silver screen, country music stars have always been smart enough to choose comfort over flashy. For instance, Faith Hill, better looking than any of those Hollywood heifers, is not ashamed to be seen grocery shopping wearing sneakers and would never dare wear high-heeled Manolos to Kroger or Wal-Mart. Ditto for Martina McBride.
Will the new crop of divas be wise or worldly? Will Miranda Lambert, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood be so obsessed with flaunting fashion that they forget it's country music they're singing and that it's country fans applauding them in concert? Will they be smart enough to wear their sneakers to the grocery store or Wal-Mart?
This brings me to Fan Fair, which begins this week in Nashville. Lord knows, we've gotten so uppity in this day and time, our fan party is now called the CMA Music Festival, but it's still Fan Fair to me. I hate change. But I never wore Manolos either.
Yes, I did write that Jack Ingram was the sexiest man of the evening on the recent ACM Awards, but I must say the man I've thought about the most is George Strait. When it comes to singing country music, George Strait is the kingpin. He's not ashamed to sing pure country music, and he's not afraid to keep a fiddle and a steel guitar in his band.
With that said, it is my hope that every fan will be royally entertained from the moment they arrive in Music City for this week's whoop-de-doo. May they feel a welcome in our city and may they go back home with stories of great music by wonderful stars. May they have so much fun that cannot wait until June 2009 to visit Nashville again.
Country stars are so richly blessed with God-given natural talent — more than any other genre, in my opinion. Stars, give the fans the best you've got. I always remind stars that country fans are the best fans in the world. They're the reason stars can sing for a living, so don't forget to tell them thanks.
A Call From Dierks Bentley
Had a call from the wonderful Dierks Bentley, someone I love dearly. Dierks is so excited about his career, including his songwriting, his fans and his U.S. tour. He's touring in Europe in July and also working in Japan in October, but Dierks is most excited about becoming a daddy. He tells me his wife Cassidy has been in fine health. No morning sickness, and he enjoys watching her being pregnant.
"As much as I love Jake [the dog], I can just imagine how much I'll love my child," allowed Dierks.
"There's nothing as precious as holding one's own child, one's own flesh and blood," I assured the father-to-be. The baby is due in October.
Dierks said he and Cassidy enjoy camping on their 80 acres south of Nashville.
"I was raised in a cul-de-sac in town," he said. "And I'm on the road so much, when I'm off the road, I like to go see my manager and my friends and leave the door open at home. But then we like to take Jake and live among the animals in our own private nature reserve."
After Japan, Dierks plans to take off the remainder of the year and learn how to be a daddy, but says he'll still be performing some weekends at the Grand Ole Opry.
Returning Ira Louvin's Mandolin
My friend Greg Kaczor has told me an amazing story about a mandolin that had been owned by the late Ira Louvin of the Louvin Brothers.
"Back in the summer of 1985, my band, Live and Kickin', hired a consultant to help us with staging, music and how to get to that 'next level' that musicians hear about and strive for," he began. The consultant's name was Dale Strength.
"Dale has a great career in Minnesota as a pro guitarist, and he was Olivia Newton-John's band leader in the '70s," Greg continued. "His roots ran deep in Nashville music from the '50s and '60s. His dad, Texas Bill Strength, was an artist who became a famous DJ and is a member of the DJ Hall of Fame. One of Texas Bill's running buddies was one of the all-time great tenor singers, Opry legend Ira Louvin."
Kaczor remembered, "Believing it would add to the band, Dale Strength gave me a mandolin that he said had belonged to Ira Louvin. I'm a guitarist, and I felt my fingers were too big to play the instrument, so I just kept it hanging on my wall for 23 years.
"In April 2008, I traveled to Nashville from Grand Rapids, Mich., and brought the mandolin with me, thinking I'd try and find out if it was indeed Ira Louvin's instrument. I'd heard Charlie Louvin [Ira's brother in the singing duo] had a souvenir shop near Opry Mills shopping center. I searched for it. No store. So I went online and found Charlie's manager, a man named John. I e-mailed the manager with my info and included a picture of the mandolin. He quickly responded, saying he had forwarded my e-mail to Charlie."
"Later that day, my phone rang. It was Charlie Louvin himself! My mouth hung open when he said, 'Oh, yes, I remember that mandolin very well.' He asked about the missing pickguard which I had no answer for. It was missing when I got it 23 years ago."
"I told Charlie if he had anything he'd like to trade for the mandolin, I'd gladly meet him somewhere for the exchange. I wanted him to have the mandolin, so I didn't really care if he wanted to trade anything or not. I was just excited — thinking about meeting him and giving him the mandolin."
Greg said Charlie told him, "Hey, how about 11 o'clock tomorrow near the Pancake Pantry? I'll be the 80-year-old guy standing on the corner. I will have my golf cap on and my casino windbreaker, smoking a cigarette. Nobody lets you smoke inside anymore."
The next day, Greg drove to Hillsboro Village near Nashville's Music Row.
"Right on time, I spotted Charlie on the corner having a smoke. I park. We meet. I reach for the mandolin and see a sparkle in his eyes. That was really an awesome moment. Being a musician, I wish I had every instrument I'd let slip through my fingers. But this was his brother's! A brother he lost in a tragic car wreck in the mid '60s. An instrument that they used to sit around and jam with. To him, this mandolin is like an old friend he had not seen in 50 years. Musicians know that an instrument becomes a part of you — an extension of your soul. It can take you back in time — the tone of it, the feel of it, the smell of it and, of course, visually. … Both of us were smiling when he told me he always liked the sound of that mandolin."
"I followed Charlie to John's apartment," Greg continued. "Charlie presented me a CD boxed set that includes all the songs ever recorded by the Louvin Brothers — eight CDs with 28 songs each. This is a great collection of the best songs and harmonies of the '50s and '60s and picking by a new guitar talent, Chet Atkins!"
The Louvin Brothers were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.
"Charlie told me the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum had been asking him if he has anything to donate to them," Greg said. "He says he plans to take this newly-found mandolin, plus an old guitar that he played back then, and give it to the Hall of Fame. Charlie says he wants to make sure that I get the credit as the donor of the mandolin."
After Greg told me this unbelievable story, I contacted a few people who matter, and we all agreed that Greg Kaczor is the most unselfish human being on the planet. One thing's for sure: When the mandolin is presented to the Hall of Fame, I want to be there.
More Mailbox Money for Bill Anderson
Bill Anderson has more money than Viagra has pills! He keeps writing hits, and mailbox money — otherwise known as royalty checks — keeps rolling in. But his latest "hit" was written almost 50 years ago and originally recorded by Kitty Wells in 1962. The recording of the song, "We Missed You," by bluegrasser Doyle Lawson is now featured in a Sears commercial that is airing throughout the country.
We're sending sympathy and prayers to Gibson Guitars CEO Henry Juszkiewicz and family following the death of his son, Zachary, who was killed in a car crash over Memorial Day weekend. He had just finished his freshman year at Clemson.

Medical director, Providence Cancer Survivor Program
Medical oncologist, Providence Oncology and Hematology Care Clinic-Westside
Published July 2011
Epidemiological studies of colorectal cancer development have indicated that statin drugs, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, can be chemopreventive agents.
Besides the drugs' effectiveness as lipid-lowering agents, preclinical data have shown that some statins trigger apoptosis in various tumor cell types. There is evidence that they exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative actions, and can induce tumor suppressors in colorectal cancer.
Less is known about the effect of these agents in high-risk subgroups, such as patients with resected colon cancer; and the effectiveness of statins as chemopreventive agents remains to be established by prospective randomized trials.
Patients can now be enrolled in NSABP P5, a phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled study that seeks to determine the effect of rosuvastatin in five-year occurrence of adenomatous polyps, metachronous colorectal carcinoma and colon cancer recurrence in patients with resected stage I or II colon cancer.
The study will stratify patients by possible influential subsets: first-degree family history, aspirin use and adjuvant chemotherapy.
Enrolled patients are randomized to receive rosuvastatin 10 mg or placebo orally once daily for five years. All stage I or II colon cancer patients are eligible if surgical resection was completed within one year of study randomization. Adjuvant therapy must be completed before randomization. Low-dose aspirin use is allowed as long as the patient is willing to continue at the same dose during the study. Otherwise, chronic NSAIDs use is prohibited while the patient is on study therapy.
The chemoprevention strategy (for example, five years of oral tamoxifen) has been effective and widely used in women for prevention of breast disease, such as ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive breast cancer. If NSABP P5 is successful, it will finally offer early-stage colon cancer patients a similar opportunity to reduce their risks.
The NSABP P5 trial is available by referral to oncologists at Providence Cancer Center and the investigator members of the Columbia River Oncology Program. This study has been endorsed by the National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program.

Tagged: The Big Tigers D Controversy
The Many D's of Comerica Park
We still have FOUR game entries for 2011. They will be forthcoming soon…hmm, well, soon'ish. But, with the Tigers in the postseason, I decided to take a little time out to do something I meant to do back in July. So here we go.
In 2009, Tim and I attended a Tigers/Orioles game in Baltimore. We attended with a couple Tigers fans and, in the blog entry, I wrote about what I called "THE BIG TIGERS 'D' CONTROVERSY." Boiled to its essence, the story is that the "D" on the Tigers' jerseys is completely different than the "D" on the Tigers' hats. For years, I have wanted to visit Comerica Park, and one of the reasons for wanting to visit the ballpark was so I could get a feel for how the Tigers use their two D's.
Tim and I had an great time at Comerica Park. It is an amazing ballpark. We took hundreds of pictures, and a bunch of them focused on "THE BIG TIGERS 'D' CONTROVERSY." So this entry is dedicated to showing the various D's at Comerica Park. Before we get to it, let's review the details behind the conversy. Here is an excerpt from that entry:
# # #
So lets just get it out of the way — THE BIG TIGERS "D" CONTROVERSY! Do you know the controversy? Interestingly, every single Tigers fan I've ever asked about THE BIG TIGERS "D" CONTROVERSY has been totally oblivious to its very existence. Apparently, the Tigers' fans are not very observant.
So what is the controvery you ask? Here it is — the Old English script "D" on the Tigers hat is totally and completely different than the Old English script "D" their jerseys and no one seems to care or notice
Shocking! Huh?
Here is indisputable photographic evidence:
Let's take a closer look:
1. The upper right corner of the Hat "D" has little fancy points and a concave diagonal edge while the same part of the Jersey "D" is rounded with no pionts and no concave edge.
2. The traditionally straight edge of the capital "D" is replace in the Jersey "D" with three vertical lines. The two inner lines are straight and the outide line is sort of shaped like a shark with two pointy fins on his back. Meanwhile, the straight edge of the Hat "D" has only two vertical lines. Neither are straight. Instead, they both look sort of like tall thin S's. But congrats to the Tigers, the outside line on the Hat "D" also has the two shark like fins on it!
3. The Two S-like vertical lines on the Hat "D" have two little bars connecting them – one at the top and one at the bottom. The top bar is convex and the bottom bar is concave. The Jersey "D"? You got it, no connector bars at all between the roughly corresponding vertical lines.
4. But there are more connector discrepancies. The left and right side of the opening of the Hat "D" is connected with two little bars – the top bar is concave and the bottom bar is convex. How about the Jersey "D" — just the opposite. The top bar is convex and the bottom bar is concave.
5. Finally, the Hat "D" is cool and the Jersey "D" is not (this one is subjective).
So you say, "Come on, I never noticed this, but how can it be a controversy? All Tigers fans must know about this?" Nope. You're wrong. In fact, Mark himself — a Michigander — was totally unaware of this last year before I asked him about it. Recently, Mark surveyed a bunch of Tigers fans at Comerica Park. None of them knew about this.
The big question: why is it that Tigers have two different D's on their uniforms?
The answer: NO ONE KNOWS!!!
According to my limited internet research on this (limited because I don't really care about it), the Tigers themselves have no clue why they have different D's on their uniforms.
So there you have it: THE BIG TIGERS "D" CONTROVERSY!!!

Here we go. No big analysis here. Let's just look at some pictures and keep a running tally. These pictures are in order of when I took them as we walked around Comerica Park.
We parked outside the RF gate…
…, which is adorned with three different types of Tiger D's — all of them are "jersey D's." I'll just count each of these types once.
Scorecard: Hat D's 0, Jersey D's 3
Walking around the outside of the stadium, we found the "Code of Conduct"…
…, which featured a nice "Hat D."
Scorecard: Hat D's 1, Jersey D's 3
All of the street signs featured Hat D's:
Scorecard: Hat D's 2, Jersey D's 3
The walls outside the stadium (and the Tiger Club) had a design including lots of jersey D's:
There are actually some more jersey D's about the glass doors behind Tim in that last picture, but I missed them when I edited the picture. Anyway, I'll just count all of theseD's worked into the wall design as 1 jersey D..
Scorecard: Hat D's 2, Jersey D's 4
The 3B gate is awesome at Comerica Park, but these jersey D's won't count in the scorecard because they are the same as the RF gate:
The team store is called The D Shop" with a nice hat D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 3, Jersey D's 4
On one of the walls outside the stadium, we found this tile jersey "D" with a tiger walking through it:
Scorecard: Hat D's 4, Jersey D's 4
For good measure, the Tigers through some historical D's into the mix that are neither the current hat nor current jersey D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 4, Jersey D's 4, Other 1
When we were outside of the stadium, all of the ticket windows seemed to be closed…
…and they all featured a Hat D on the pull-down window cover.
Scorecard: Hat D's 5, Jersey D's 4, Other 1
From the street behind the CF wall, we spotted a sign for the Champions Club…
…featuring yet another Hat D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 6, Jersey D's 4, Other 1
The Will Call sandwich board sign was also sporting a Hat D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 7, Jersey D's 4, Other 1
Through the team store window, we spotted a bunch of souvenirs:
The baseballs and the foam hand both featured Jersey D's.
Scorecard: Hat D's 7, Jersey D's 6, Other 1
From our spot at the front of one of the lines at the 3B gate, there was a plaque adorned with some Jersey D's:.
Scorecard: Hat D's 7, Jersey D's 7, Other 1
I was a big fan of the scoreboard inside the ballpark.:
It featured a little analog clock with a Jersey D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 7, Jersey D's 8, Other 1
If you're milling about in the cross-aisles at Comerica Park, one of these signs…
…might tell you to sit down, and remind you that you're at a Tigers game with this nice orange Hat D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 8, Jersey D's 8, Other 1
In the concourse behind home plate, there is a booth featuring "game used" products and a nice big Hat D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 9, Jersey D's 8, Other 1
Visually, there is a whole lot going on in the food court and Tiger-Go-Round area tucked behind the 3B concourse…
…, including at least banners with Hat D's, flags with Hat D's, a big baseball on top of the Tiger-Go-Round with a Hat D, and several Jersey D's around the top ring of the Tiger-Go-Round. Just for kicks, there is another "The D Shop" with another Hat D…but we won't count that again.
Scorecard: Hat D's 12, Jersey D's 9, Other 1
This might be my favorite "D" of the day, a little Jersey D embossed into the drains on the walkway in RF:
Scorecard: Hat D's 12, Jersey D's 10, Other 1
While on the walkway, we stopped in at a fan assistance office and picked up a "first game at Comerica Park" certificate for Tim:
The certificate featuerd Jersey D's, but the fan assistance sign featured a Hat D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 13, Jersey D's 11, Other 1
On top of the dugout? A big Hat D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 14, Jersey D's 11, Other 1
On the back of the pitchers' mound? Yep, another Hat D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 15, Jersey D's 11, Other 1
We found a couple billboards in the concourse featuring Jersey D's:
Scorecard: Hat D's 15, Jersey D's 13, Other 1
The scoreboard features a black-and-white'ish scoreboard on the LF side and a full-color screen on the CF side:
The black-and-white'ish screen featured a Jersey D during much of pregame, while the full-color scoreboard had a Hat D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 16, Jersey D's 14, Other 1
A directory that we found in the upper deck, featured a *sorta* extra thin Hat D in the extreme upper left corner and a normal Hat D in the "you are here" sign:
Scorecard: Hat D's 18, Jersey D's 14, Other 1
Here is an interest one. In the concession stand where we bought our nachos, they had full-sized Tiger helmets that were souvenir popcorn recepiticals:
Although the Tigers actually (and logically) have Hat D's on their batting helmets, this popcorn helmet featured a Jersey D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 18, Jersey D's 15, Other 1
I think this is a newspaper rack or something like that (albeit an empty one):
Whatever it is, it features tiger stripes and a Had D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 19, Jersey D's 15, Other 1
This could be the most important D in the stadium — the essential behind home plate logo D:
Score a big one for the Hat D's column!
Scorecard: Hat D's 20, Jersey D's 15, Other 1
In the 1980s, they apparently used the same Hat D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 21, Jersey D's 15, Other 1
This concession stand was not being used at this game:
Still, it (and several others just like it) featured Hat D's on a home plate sign.
Scorecard: Hat D's 22, Jersey D's 15, Other 1
Verizon had a booth in one of the concourses, and it featured a Jersey D:
Scorecard: Hat D's 22, Jersey D's 16, Other 1
I'm not sure what this "Extra Bases" booth was all about…
…but it featured several Jersey D's. This might be arbitrary, but I'm just going to count that as one D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 22, Jersey D's 17, Other 1
Remember those popcorn D's? They were hats with Jersey D's. Well, the ice cream helmets were hats with Hat D's:
Scorecard: Hat D's 23, Jersey D's 17, Other 1
There are some seats in deep LF that I'll describe as being on *risers*. Anyway, those risers are wrapped in green fabric with Hat D's on them:
Scorecard: Hat D's 24, Jersey D's 17, Other 1
This day was truly wonderful, and the game experience was capped with Kids Run the Bases, which allowed us to get close enough to determine that…
…the bases feature little Jersey D's.
Scorecard: Hat D's 24, Jersey D's 18, Other 1
There are lots of Hat D's in the Tigers dugout, most of which are found inside the slots where the Tigers keep their batting helmets:
We'll count those 24 identifical Hat D's as just one D.
Scorecard: Hat D's 25, Jersey D's 18, Other 1
The wall behind the dugout bench features both Hat D's and Jersey D's:
Scorecard: Hat D's 26, Jersey D's 19, Other 1
On our way out of the ballpark, we found our last new "D" of the day. It was on a "no autographs" sign in the Tiger's bullpen in LF:
Scorecard: Hat D's 27, Jersey D's 19, Other 1
So, there you go. Take that for whatever its worth. Personally, I find the whole BIG TIGERS "D" CONTROVERSY to be very interesting. Head on over to Comerica Park and check it out for yourself.

In the Spirit: Rye... or Rye Not?
With a bit of chill in the air throughout most of the county, you may want to opt for a cocktail that warms you up -- and if you want to stay on trend, consider American rye.
If you imbibe in the brown spirits, you've likely been drinking all kinds of soft and sweet bourbons, peaty Scotch or some Irish, Canadian or Japanese whiskey (or all three). American rye is now returning to the forefront and there are more small batch, quality producers than ever.
The drier, spicy, peppery cousin of bourbon is coming on strong in the "everything old is new again" sprit and cocktail renaissance. Rye has a long-standing American history including President George Washington making his own rye (with a mash bill of 60 percent rye) as well as being used as a mainstay in every bar in the early 1900s -- before prohibition, of course.
Rye production is similar to bourbon (see previous article, In the Spirit: Bourbon), with the major exception of the grain used. To be called rye, the mash bill (defined by Whisky Magazine as the proportion of different grains used for mashing) must be at least 51 percent rye. The rest of the mash bill could be made up of other grains such as corn, barley or wheat.
There are huge differences in smell, flavor, texture and taste of different kinds of rye. Think of the difference between the smell and taste of corn bread versus rye bread. Rye imparts a drier taste with deep, earthy, peppery aromatics and flavor. But rye flavor profiles can really run the gamut: some have bold spices that are terrific for cocktails and others are soft and round, better for sipping.
For the continuously trendy world of cocktails, rye is quintessential. A proper Manhattan or Old Fashioned should be made with rye, although these have often been made with bourbon in modern times. If you try these with rye, it will change your perspective on these classic cocktails.
EDGE offers three unique picks to stock your home bar.
Breuckelen 77 Rye and Corn
Located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Breuckelen Distilling is adding to the recent history of New York State's licensed distillation fever not only with this rye but also with their bourbon and "Glorious" gins. They are taking distillation to the future and beyond. They use grains only made in New York and mostly by their farmer, Thor, located outside Ithaca (who is pictured on Breuckelen's website). This has a mash bill of 90 percent rye and 10 percent corn, which brings a whiff of banana bread component to the nose and the flavor profile. The corn softens the rye spice and combined with the oak to round out this tasty sipper.
Breuckelen 77 Rye and Corn
$46, 750ml
Redemption Rye
Redemption starts with rye from the Midwest, is distilled in Indiana and bottled in Kentucky. It has a 95 percent premium rye mash bill and is aged for at least two years in new charred oak barrels. Redemption is bottled in small, hand-numbered batches, and features a mostly youthful note of cinnamon along with caraway and even a little mint -- it is a perfect rye for your classic cocktail.
One general rule is to use ryes that don't have as much age for cocktails since they tend to be a bit harsher, while the other ingredients of the cocktail recipe balance it to make the perfect drink.
Redemption Rye
$27, 750ml
Corsair Ryemadeddon
Corsair takes their spirit-making seriously, but also celebrates the saucy side of the business, as the website states, "Booze for Badasses." Ranked as the best Craft distillery of the year in 2013 by Whisky Magazine, Corsair makes their goods out of rye from Bowling Green, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee.
This American rye whiskey is distilled from a mash of 80 percent malted rye and 20 percent chocolate rye, aged in new charred oak. The innovators at Corsair, Andrew Webber and Darek Bell, are really throwing everything at the consumer and making it super fun. This rye adds to their unconventional offerings such as Quinoa Whiskey and Pumpkin Spice Moonshine.
Ryemageddon is the aged version of their "Wry Moon," rye white whiskey and offers a flavor profile to interest newbies and experts alike. It has a super racy nose of baking spices and milk chocolate and finishes with a hint of mint on the palette.
Corsair Ryemageddon
$59, 750ml

Thank you, Paul, for pointing out that the old model B has now been removed from the list of supported models.
Being blunt, I have been sold a product that is not fit for purpose.
Before I take any action I am prepared to wait a couple of weeks until the fix is produced, which should be a priority with the "powers that be".

East Village's North River Does Brisket Burgers and Lamb Hash for Brunch
Brunch menus to do your weekend right.
Weekend brunches should be stress-free, but crowded old standbys can be anything but. North River, the new kid on the East Village block, offers a calmer respite. Chef Adam Starowicz, a Momofuku Ko alum, has a brunch menu that's seasonal and crowd-pleasing.
Meat is where that menu shines; it's full of fatty brisket, lamb and sausage, such as the Chinese variety that comes with scrambled eggs. There's also a mean Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich ($12).
Between two halves of a soft roll baked in-house with Maldon salt and black pepper, there's a thick patty of strongly seasoned breakfast sausage made from Niman Ranch pork butt and rubbed sage. Melted Prairie Breeze cheddar and a pile of watercress are kept warm under a blanket of fried egg,.
And while we're on the subject of meat and bread, there's a pretty good Brisket Burger ($15) on the menu, too. The name is something of a misnomer; the blend from West Village butcher Florence Meat Market is actually three parts chuck and only one part brisket. But the rich cut does its job for bold, beefy flavor, and the juicy patty comes topped with cheddar and caramelized red onions. The fries on the side are delightfully crisp, but add salt at the table—they're bland as-is.
Rich can also describe the Lamb Hash ($14). Lamb shank from Debragga is salted then braised for eight hours, then the meat is pulled and tossed with crisp browned Inca gold potatoes and red onions. Cumin, coriander, and Valentia hot sauce add warmth and heat, and a cilantro-mint yogurt sauce cools things down and cuts through the grease. Two fried eggs come on top for good measure.
Even the sides are meaty, such as a vegan coconut Belly Doughnut ($8) that's sliced open, grilled, and stuffed with pork belly and pickles. The soy sauce-flavored pork belly is strangely dry, though, which makes this more of a shareable novelty than a go-to dish.
A better bet is a blast from the past: French Toast Sticks ($8), and they're better than the frozen ones you ate growing up. The "sticks" are rectangular slabs of brioche spiced with cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg, then baked until their edges turn crispy. Fresh orange juice and bourbon make the glaze. Eat it fast before the whipped cream softens and floods the plate. Better yet, ask for whipped cream on the side so your toast stays crisp.
North River is pretty spacious, with ample seating in the front and back. For now it's a sleeper with a number of winning, if heavily meaty, brunch options. We'll see how long it stays that way.
