Cripple Bastards
Senza Impronte
The Italian punks in Cripple Bastards have been grinding along since the late 1980s, and though they haven't always been among the first bands that come to mind when the sub-genre's biggest acts are listed, in that quarter-century, they've nevertheless managed to quietly and loudly carve out a place in the shadows of the higher ranks of grindcore. Starting out in far sloppier days with their heavily hardcore-indebted full-length debut Your Lies In Check, the Bastards have since morphed into a better-produced, less crust and more polished grindcore outfit, though they've lost none of their absolutely raging edge in the process. Senza Impronte, which is Italian for "no fingerprints" when translated via the wonders of the Internet, is a five-song EP, available on 7" vinyl. It's the band's first release for Relapse, and it's the logical continuation of the sound and fury of their last long-player, 2008's Variante Alla Morte.
Opening with the blast-happy "Regime Artificiale," Senza Impronte comes out killing, with Der Kommisar's guitar slicing nicely between Al Mazzotti's blastbeasts and founding member Giulio The Bastard's array of vocal screams and grunts and barks. Of the eight minutes of music contained herein, the title track is both the most pummeling and the most memorable – with a killer blasting intro and a swinging hardcore midsection that fit snugly together, ending with a stout riff and as much of a vocal hook as grindcore will ever allow. Between the grind and the punk, it's a near-perfect pounding distillation of the Bastards' ethic in two minutes' time. Combine "Senza Impronte" with the closing punch of "Mondo Plastico" ("Plastic World") and "Soggetto Leucemico / 10 Fassi Falsi" ("Leukemia Subject / 10 Missteps") and it's there that the Bastards' attack fully hammers home. Of the latter tracks, the former is mostly a minute of hardcore punk, with a sliding and swinging riff to bring it home, while the split-titled closer is more experimental – it flirts with stop-start tempo changes and dashes of dissonant riffage, a la post-millennium Napalm Death's exploration of the uglier and more angular side of head-aching extremity.
Though only Giulio remains from the band's dirty beginnings in the Asti hardcore scene, Cripple Bastards' angry, violent take on punk-fueled grindcore remains intact, noticeably sharper and stouter than in their earliest days. These Bastards are not always the most talked-about grind outfit around, but nevertheless, twenty-five years in, they're still powerful and supremely pissed-off elder statesmen, and Senza Impronte is further furious proof of their continued vitality.

Morton's The Steakhouse - Portland
Online Reservations
From the initial greeting to the farewell, we were made to feel like the most honored guests of the house. Above and beyond the expected courtesies, because I noted that it was our anniversary on the online reservation, our photograph was taken, a special menu was prepared and a complimentary dessert was offered. Everyone seemed to be working together to make our night special, and because of Morton's, it was! Thank you so much.
Good steak, but not as good as El gaucho for steak. We will go back and try other entrees, but for steak we will stick with El gaucho. The Service was OUTSTANDING, way better than at El gaucho. Really felt cared for. I would recommend this place for the service alone.
The bone in ribeye was excellent. I ordered my steak medium. I also had the wedge iceberg lettuce salad with ranch. I finished my meal with key lime pie. The salad was. If enough for two, but I ate the whole thing. I almost forgot about the bread. It was very delicious with a hint of garlic. Our server was first class. I was in a party of three. We were happy campers for the rest of the evening.
Fabulous experience-we are guaranteed a fine dining experience with Morton's - only complaint was .....our booth was dimly lit, could barely read the menu..
When my uncle and aunt announced they were headed into town on short notice, the choice for immediate reservations on a Saturday night was clear: Mortons! That's not to say the place was deserted; rather, it's that much worth trying to get a table, and indeed we were seated without delay. Coming from cattle country, my relations know their way around a good steak, and the kitchen definitely did not disappoint. The grand marnier souffle crowned the evening perfectly. Yet another wonderful outing for the consistently best steakhouse in Portland.
Nice job on making our anniversary even more special. Entire staff and experience was incredible. We felt pampered and would definitely recommend everyone to celebrate a very special occasion with Morton's. Best steak in a long time.
Hello, my name is Toren. I have been to Morton's before and it has been nothing but excellent. The steak is absolutely phenomenal. The customer service is beyond great too.
Your way of honoring our anniversary was very special and unique. The personalized menu and the complimentary lemon souffle were a wonderful surprise. The baked five onion soup was so good. Our steaks were well seasoned and cooked just as we ordered. Our sides were the cream corn and the twice baked au gratin potatoes. They were very complimentary to our steaks. Back to the lemon souffle--it melted in my mouth. The lemon was light and refreshing. Since I had been looking forward to the trying the Creme Brulee, we ordered that as well. I felt guilty at ordering a second dessert for the two of us, but that disappeared with the first taste. Our servers were friendly, and brought our courses out in a timely manner. We will celebrate here again.
The food was a wonderful surprise as it met every expectation.
This was my first experience at Morton's and it was everything I could have asked for in a romantic evening. The service was outstanding and the ambience was romantic. The food was delicious and, albeit a bit pricy, was worth the cost. I would recommend this dining experience for anyone who is looking to create a romantic evening and special memories.
We had a great time, food, service and atmosphere was great!
The steaks we had at Mortons were phenomenal - and this is compared with other top notch steak houses in Portland. I definitely recommend this restaurant when you want a first class dinner. Also they make the evening very personalized when celebrating an event - we appreciated the birthday photo.
Steaks were excellent, best streaks in town. Salmon not so good. Service not as attentive this year compared to a year ago. Too noisy. Very expensive. I would recommend this restaurant for steaks only.
they couldn't have done more to make sure everything was perfect from our order, to serving the cake we brought in for our daughter's birthday.
My husband and I ate here for our 39th anniversary celebration and were not disappointed. I started with the Champagne cocktail they offer, which was deliciously different. My husband had a draft dark beer which was some of the best he's had (and that's saying something). I had the prime filet mignon and it was seriously tender and delicious. My husband chose the porterhouse steak and he couldn't have been happier. It was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection, as was my filet. Our menus noted that is was our 39th anniversary across the top and we were given a free chocolate souffle in honor of our celebration. The staff also came by and wished us a happy anniversary. We will definitely be going back.
If you want a great steak Morton's is the place to go...
We had our wedding reception here because the food is so delectable. We not go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. The food is expensive, but is worth every penny. The steak melts in your mouth and the food has such amazing flavors that make us wanting more even though we are full!
We had tickets to the theater just steps away from the restaurant so the location was perfect! The food was good, dessert was outrageous!!! Yummie!!!! Our server, Jeremy, a perfect "10" !!! He was kind, thoughtful, fast and energetic! He made the dinner very memorable.
Great food and atmosphere. Server was excellent and kept us on time as we had theater tickets.
My boyfriend & I made reservations for just a romantic dinner this was by far the best place we could of went to. We had excellent service and the food was cooked perfectly. Nothing you ordered would of been a wrong choice. The staff was so friendly and inviting. We will defiantly come back for another romantic night out or for special occasions.
My Wife and I decided that a night out for a good steak, and how can you go wrong with Morton's. Well, you can't. The steaks were wonderful, as well as the sides. Just a great night out for steak!
This restaurant was very nice, the decor and setting excellent and the food great. We were attended promptly by the maitre de and the rest of the waiting staff and sommelier very good and knowledgeable. All in all a truly delightful experience.
They gave us menus with our anniversary on it. The venue was very reasonable on the noise. Went to a competitor a year or so ago and the noise level was deafening.
This was my 2nd visit to Mortons, the first being in Seattle earlier this year. It was my wife's first visit to Mortons. The occasion was our 24th wedding anniversary. I had made reservations online 24 hours prior to our arrival and had noted that it was our anniversary in a small notes field. The website was easy to navigate. Simply put, the food was perfection. Everything was perfectly presented and the taste was incredible. The combinations were unique to us. The service was incredible from beginning to end. Its clear to me after two visits to Mortons that it is a place where you can be guaranteed great service and great food.
The food and service were great. Considering the price and ambiance of the establishment, however, the informal, sloppy and messy attire of most of the diners left a bad taste in our mouths. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover but most of the customers looked like they belonged in a fast food joint not a high end restaurant.
The food was fantastic. I took a group of clients out and everyone was extremely pleased with the food and the service. The waiters were wonderful. I arrived early and explained it was a business dinner and they guided me through the process - I looked like this was my 100th dinner instead of the first. I ordered my filet medium well and it was still as tender as can be. It was very noisy - impossible for our group of eight to hear anyone except the people directly across or beside them. I did not ask in advance about the noise level, so don't feel I can complain. Just want others to know that it was loud. I will inquire about a quieter area for future business dinners.
We ate dinner before the show at Keller Auditorium Our server ,Mary was sensible of our schedule and promised that we would have plenty of time. We had an excellent dinner. Cocktails were right on the money. Dinner itself was excellent. Mary was efficient,friendly and professional,a rare combination these days! Well done Morton's and Mary we will be back each Opera night!
Alway's great, Justin is a great waiter, he made the dinner a fun experience, "Go Justin"
It seems you can always count on getting a delish meal with helpful and professional service. Beyond the flawlessly prepared steak, cocktails are good and spirited, wine list is very extensive, wines by the glass top notch, and they actually pay attention when you mention that you have theater tickets and are in a bit of a time crunch. It helps also that the restaurant is across the street from the theater. Only drawback is the tiny print on the huge menu and the very low lights. Romantic, sure, but grateful for iPhone flashlights, which seem to be fired up all over the dining room!
Food and service, as always was great. It is a wonderful place to go before attending a show at the Keller Auditorium, including very prompt and courteous valet service which takes care of the car for the dinner and the show. The noise level this time was a bit much, but we still like the place a lot.
We were a little late for our reservation and they made sure we still made it to our show on time. Fun experience, wish we had more time to soak it all in.
We try to always have a delicious dinner before we go to our Broadway plays. They make sure we have a great meal and we are still on time for the play. Many times my daughters and I share salad, entree and a side along with some nice wine. A wonderful and special time.
I LOVE Morton's but the last three times the services has been very poor. Really long wait times. Hard to find the waiter. I've had to ask different people who pass our table for water, more bread, dessert menu, etc. Was very pleased that the restaurant had personalized menus for us showing that we were celebrating a birthday and the staff was quick to tell my husband "Happy Birthday" when we checked in. There were 5 of us (3 kids) and it just took FOREVER! For a final bill of $400 (with tip) I expect very precise and punctual service - and have had that in years past. I think it might be time for a staff/management change at the Portland location.
Took 6 folks from ak. Good meal. Good value. Good desert. Service could be quicker
Our waiter was perfectly attentive without hovering. Since we were both celebrating birthdays, he gave us a complimentary dessert. Our food was prepared perfectly. I have an allergy to garlic, and he was very careful to check the food we were ordering with the chef - a nice touch. Too many restaurants, even of Morton's caliber, don't take allergies seriously.
I have been your establishment a handful of times and I can honestly say it only gets better each time. I'm glad that we have such an amazing restutuant in portland. Your waiters, bus boys, chefs, managers, greeters. Are all amazing! I will recommend this place to all my friends and family. Thank you for such a perfect evening for my wife's birthday.
If a great steak is what you're after, Mortons PDX is the spot. RuthChris doesn't come close. And the RingSide is more expensive for an equivalent dinner. Downtown in Portland, nothing matches it.
My girlfriend and I went there for her birthday. The moment we walked in the door, and even the parking valets, made us feel like we were the most important people in there. My girlfriend was absolutly delighted by the entire dinner service. The chocolate mousse was aan incredible dessert. We will be comming back in the future.
Everything was excellent and the food delicious!!!! I'll recommend this restaurant!!!!!
This is the place for every reason if you want to enjoy an amazing dinner and get your money's worth. Leave happy every time.
Our waiter was very friendly and made several yummy recommendations. The service was outstanding, only up-staged by the food.
The food was great! Expensive but you should know that in advance! I love a manly dark restaurant. Very romantic!
For a chain restaurant, they know their meat! Ribeye steaks that you can cut with a knife. Our waiter Patrick was very knowledgeable and the manager came to our table and chatted. The bar looked full on a weeknight so must also be a great bar spot as well. I'd recommend this for serious steak lovers any day of the week.
The food is cooked to perfection and the service is great! It's the perfect place to grab a bite before the theater.
We have eaten here several times and it is always great. The quality of the food and the deliciousness of the preparation are what keeps us coming back. We'll keep coming back !
It lives up to its reputation of being extremely delicious and expensive. They make you feel wecome and serve you as royalty.
Quite pricey, but worth every cent! The service was top notch and the food exceeded our expectations.
The server was outstanding, the food was great, portions were appropriate for everyone, and the overall dining experience was truly outstanding.
Morton's Portland knows how to deliver a great dining experience.
It is no wonder so many of my family members recommended Morton's to me for a romantic birthday celebration! The staff was so kind, no one was pushy and the atmosphere was perfect. Although it was busy I definitely would not say it was very noisy, and the food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend it to a friend for any special occasion!

It's not an overstatement to say that Anberlin's sixth proper full length, Vital, was one of the most criminally underrated rock records of 2012. The Florida rockers have developed a penchant for crafting alt-rock records that challenge the listener while maintaining a distinct accessibility, and Vital may very well be the band's defining work. Chock-full of urgent guitar riffs and burning calls for hope amidst desperation, the album may be the band's heaviest to date – both in terms of sound and content.
What is even more impressive than Anberlin's ability to capture fiery emotion on tape is the band's knack for stripping it all down in their acoustic live performances. Last spring, the band took their first official acoustic trek, showcasing a different side of a band already known for its diverse talents. Now, a mere year later, the band is treating any cities that missed out on last year's jaunt with a new slew of acoustic dates.

Relay Foods Partners with D.C. Metro Area Apartment Buildings to Bring Local Food and Everyday Groceries Directly to Residents For Free
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Relay Foods, an online market for sustainable food and everyday groceries, has rolled out a new "Drop Spots" program, allowing D.C. area apartment buildings to provide residents with free concierge grocery delivery. The program offers real estate management groups a cost-free way to help residents avoid the challenges of grocery shopping in D.C. by offering on-site delivery. Drop Spots save residents from the time and stress of travelling to distant grocery stores without overtaxing apartment staff.
"In D.C., we all know that grocery shopping can be rough," said Graham Evans, VP of New Markets and DC City Manager at Relay Foods. "After a long, stressful day, no one wants to fight traffic to get to and from a grocery store or haul shopping bags on the metro. So, we're partnering with forward-thinking apartment buildings to bring fresh, local food and groceries directly to residents."
Launched in 2009 in Charlottesville, VA and serving the D.C. Metro area since summer 2012, Relay Foods provides a comprehensive selection of local foods and grocery essentials to online shoppers and delivers orders to convenient pickup locations or customers' homes. With Drop Spots, Relay Foods and apartment buildings establish a regular delivery schedule to ensure that residents can rely on Relay Foods for their weekly grocery needs. Relay's delivery teams ensure that groceries reach the Drop Spot by 4 pm. Delivery schedules begin at one drop per week and can be increased to multiple days per week according to the needs of residents.
Six D.C. area apartment buildings participated in the pilot program including Archstone 1st+M, a NoMa area complex that was voted "Best Apartment Building 2013" by readers of the Washington City Paper. The building was designed with a grocery delivery room since Avalon Communities, the developers, recognized the need for grocery delivery in many parts of Washington D.C.
"Relay Foods was a perfect fit," said Larry Brown, Community Manager at Archstone 1st+M. "They worked with us to make sure this was a seamless process for residents. We also worked together to make sure this wouldn't overtax our front desk staff, who process thousands of deliveries a week. Relay handles the hard labor, and our staff simply record what was dropped off."
According to Brown, Relay Foods introduced the Drop Spots program with a live cooking demonstration in the building's common kitchen. More than 40 residents enjoyed the chef's seasonal menu. With a designated delivery room containing two industrial fridges, the building staff is able to easily store flowers, perishable deliveries and now weekly groceries delivered by Relay Foods.
"We have a lot of foodies at 1st+M, and our residents are very happy about the program," said Brown. "At our building, I see the younger and older generation come together over food. They cook together at the common grills and share some tips, or they talk about their favorite new restaurants in the common area."
About Relay Foods
Launched in 2009, the Relay Foods marketplace unites more than 100 unique merchants, vendors and stores that partner with the company as an alternative distribution channel to expand the availability of their products. Customers shop online until midnight, and their orders are picked and aggregated overnight for next day pickup (free) from one of dozens of convenient locations or home delivery at a nominal fee. Prices are competitive with traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Learn more at www.relayfoods.com.

December 2nd, 2013 2:42pmAbout High-Rise Condo Living
High-Rise Condominiums offer more than just a place to live... they offer a unique lifestyle. More and more people are coming to a realization that perhaps the huge sprawling home in the suburbs isn't the best way to live. Not only can that big home and yard consume a weekend to maintain, but it's usually located far away from the urban renaissance many cities are experiencing.
With a high-rise condominium, you can still have that great pool, landscaping, sauna, theater and exercise room, but someone else will maintain them for you! That way you can truly enjoy your time off and take advantage of all the great benefits of city living. Read more...

Customizing SMF > Joomla Bridge Support
Will SMF and Joomla live happily ever after, together?
Many years ago I migrated from EZ-board via Ikonboard to Invision. In those marry days Invision slogan was 'why pay for a forum when php and mysql are for free?'. A year later they changed their course and started asking money. I migrated to SMF and became very fond of this little piece of software. In that time I started developing some community-sites and after Mambo I went with the flow to Joomla!
SMF-community had a very fine software-bridge (Oristo!) integrating SMF-Joomla in a very fine way. But the GNU from Joomla blocked distribution so ... end of life cycle.
I'm getting very worried. I see a lot of development for phpBB 3 with Joomla but SMF-developments are falling behind. Right now the JFusion 1.05e alfa is doing nothing good for my portals, I need dual login and I need it bad for even considering upgrading to Joomla 1.5. From my point of view my personal roadmap is the next:
1. JFusion with a proper dual login and cookie handling for SMF (mind you, right now I can't even login into the JFusion portal ... just the phpBB3 forums) and Joomla!
2. Dump Joomla! and pick up Mambo with SMF.
3. Dump Joomla! and continue with TinyPortal.
4. Migrate to phpBB3 to continue Joomla!
Right now SMF is much more important to my community then the portal is. What is your opinion about my personal roadmap. I'm running out of time since the operational Joomla software is getting too old to keep online.
Regards, Murgen
Option 2 and 3 ;)
青山 素子:
A lot depends on what you features you consider important.
Migration to Mambo is a possibility as Joomla! 1.0 is a fork of Mambo, so it shouldn't be difficult to complete the migration. If you don't need such a "heavy" solution, then TinyPortal is a nice alternative that is lighter.
You could always choose option 4 if you don't see a future in Mambo or SMF, but considering many plugin developers have moved to Mambo from Joomla! since their license clarification, I do think that there is a good future for Mambo. As for SMF, version 2.0 is a good preview of our future.
SMF never let me down ... so far. :) Guess where my loyalty is.
Also look at Drupal. I have been using Drupal 6 of late and its pretty impressive so is the 5x series as well and it has plenty of established modifications for it too.

Winchester car park sell-off denied by council leader
11:10am Wednesday 23rd October 2013 in Winchester
WINCHESTER civic chief Keith Wood today denied plans to sell a well-used central car park.
Cllr Wood told Cabinet this morning: "The council has no plans to sell off Colebrook Street Car Park. As development at Silver Hill begins and the Friarsgate car park is demolished, so Colebrook Street will be important for all who visit and work in the city."
He was speaking as he confirmed the council will be considering the redevelopment of its ageing offices in Colebrook Street.
Cllr Wood said: "The office on Colebrook Street is 40 years old and building surveys show a significant cost for repair of the roof, windows and much of the structure.
"Our options are to repair, use existing buildings across the city or to extend the Guildhall. We have not made any decisions at this stage and certainly do not have any detailed plans for knocking down the existing offices or building anew."
He said the starting point for the project is that the headquarters should remain in Winchester, close to the Guildhall, the heart of civic life. The preference will be to keep people together in one building.

Working with the Perl debugger
Some developers condemn the use of debuggers, but in many cases, a debugger is a programmer's last hope. In this Month's Perl Snapshot, we'll look at Perl's integrated debugger.
Linus Torvalds does not like debuggers. In Linus's opinion, it is far too easy to throw a piece of code together and use a debugger to beat some sense into it. Alternatives to debugging do exist. For instance, the careful application of logging removes the need for debugging in many cases. As you can read at [3], Log::Log4perl helps you integrate an appropriate level of debugging into an application and to remotely control debugging activities.

In Brief
- Our tastes in art, books and music reveal a great deal about our personality.
- People who are particularly open tend to prefer demanding aesthetic experiences; those who are more emotionally reactive prefer less challenging cultural pursuits.
- The high we feel from hearing a favorite song activates brain regions associated with other highs, such as that we get from eating chocolate.
A friend invites you to his new apartment. As he cues up an old jazz record, you look around his cluttered room for somewhere to sit. Works of literature and philosophy are stacked waist-high next to the desk. Thumbtacks anchor a colorful Picasso print to the wall. His collection of foreign films and documentaries topples out of an unpacked box. His housemate's digs—which you spy across the hall—are a different story: a framed Monet poster hangs over the neatly made bed; top-40 CD cases and box sets of TV sitcoms line the shelves; carefully arranged gossip magazines fill a nearby rack.
Without even meeting the roommate, you are willing to bet that these two won't live together for long, and, in fact, you are probably right. An increasing number of psychological studies reveal strong associations between personality traits and aesthetic tastes. According to these investigations, the jazz aficionado—who prefers challenging books and abstract art—is more likely to be an extrovert and open to new experiences. The top-40 fan, on the other hand, probably shies away from novelty. Based on his fondness for Impressionist art, though, he is likely to be agreeable and conscientious.

Photo Gallery | Absolutely Alabama in photos: The Ultimate Guide to Alabama Fishing
For most Alabama youngsters their first experience with the great outdoors is when a parent or other relative takes them camping, hunting or fishing.
This week we go fishing with Mike Bolton, whose dad was legendary Birmingham News Sports writer Clyde Bolton.
Mike followed in his dad's footsteps and taken his life long love of the outdoors and put it all into a book titled "The Ultimate Guide To Alabama Fishing." It lists all the good holes in every lake in Alabama and much more and this week Fred Hunter shows us why it's Absolutely Alabama.

Pros – The system they have for managing high potential employees is very good, and provides many chances for personal and professional development. Great place for young, motivated people to start or grow their careers with lots of opportunity to move up.
Cons – The appliance industry is very tough, and there are many pressures and challenges facing the business from new competitors in the market. There has also been a leadership change in the past 3 years that has changed the culture from a supportive, high performing environment into an aggressive, never good enough one driven in large part from the top.
Advice to Senior Management – Recognize what has been lost in the culture and show visible leadership changes that put more balanced leaders into the top positions before it is too late.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Tuesday Tools & Products: Organic Fertilizers |
Written by Heleigh Bostwick Tuesday, 24 April 2012 | |||
Wondering what the difference is between a regular fertilizer and an organic one? You're not alone. Fertilizers can be confusing. The purpose of all fertilizers is the same, to provide additional nutrients to the plants. Contrary to popular belief, the plants really don't care which fertilizer you use-commercial or organic. Commercial fertilizers are typically made from synthetic ingredients whereas organic fertilizers are made from natural ingredients like bat guano or bone meal. The primary difference between the two however, lies in how they affect the ecosystem or natural environment. All fertilizer products by law must be labeled with the percentage of nutrients, typically nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium or potash (referred to as NPK). Commercial fertilizers use what's called "quick release" to provide a rapid dose of nutrients (mostly nitrogen) for plants to use. However, most plants do not use all of the nutrients, and whatever isn't used generally makes its way into nearby streams or into the ground water. Organic fertilizers are "slow release", which means nutrients are released over a period of time. As they decompose they also add organic material to the soil. |

When the Tea Party emerged in 2009, its leaders asserted that the movement represented a dynamic new force in American politics. Motivated by a visceral hostility to the bailout and stimulus policies of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Tea Party activists would emphasize the free market and small government, not social issues.
In reality, the Tea Party is not so much a new force as an emboldened old one. The profile of the typical Tea Party member is that of a typical member of the Republican Party base. Tea Party supporters tend to be older voters who identify as conservatives (including on social issues) and watch Fox News. Tea Party membership is also correlated with racist attitudes and fierce opposition to the rights of undocumented immigrants. For all their self-professed independence from the two major parties, Tea Partiers are partisan, conservative Republicans.
Because it's virtually impossible to win a party's nomination without support from the party base, Republican candidates are heavily reliant upon Tea Party support in primary elections. A Washington Post-Pew poll in October found that while only 32 percent of Americans overall sympathize with the movement, 63 percent of Republicans express Tea Party support. To paraphrase the legendary Chicago columnist Mike Royko, a Republican who would seek office by denouncing the Tea Party is an individual who would probably begin a diet by shooting himself in the stomach.
But while courting the Tea Party may serve the GOP's immediate interests, adopting Tea Party policies could prove electorally disastrous in the long-term. Mitt Romney has reversed his positions on abortion, gay rights, and immigration to appeal to core GOP voters, which may well help propel him to the presidential nomination, but such hard-core conservative views are out of step with long-range trends. A recent survey found that 71 percent of college freshmen (including 43 percent of self-described conservatives) support same-sex marriage. Sixty one percent espoused pro-choice views. Younger voters are also more likely than older voters to perceive gaping economic inequality as a major problem. (And contrary to popular belief, people don't usually become more conservative as they age.) Finally, with the nation's Latino population expected to triple by 2050, right-wing anti-immigration views endanger the GOP's hold on even the most reliably Republican states, including Texas.
To remain relevant in the 2020s and beyond, the GOP will need to adopt a more socially tolerant, immigrant-friendly stance, and be willing to address mounting concerns about economic inequality with more than a promise to discuss the problem in "quiet rooms." Republicans attuned to this reality do exist; former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, for instance, supports civil unions (albeit not same-sex marriage, at least yet), endorses the scientific consensus on climate change, refuses to adopt the conservative base's harsh anti-immigration rhetoric, and says he understands why the Occupy Wall Street movement is upset (even if his economic policies mostly adhere to conservative orthodoxy). What remains to be seen is whether in future years the GOP will listen to Huntsman or its aging, dwindling Tea Party base

Jay Ingram, the former host of Discovery Channel's Daily Planet and CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks, is one of many science experts gathering in Jasper at the end of the month to help amateur and professional stargazers understand what's happening in the night skies.
The third annual Dark Sky Festival takes place Oct. 25 to 27, in Jasper National Park, one of the world's best places to stargaze because of its lack of artificial light.
Free events over the weekend include seven different astronomy talks on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the historic Chaba Theatre in Jasper; a digital planetarium at Jasper Junior Senior High; a bottle-rocket launch for kids and adults; and Saturday-night stargazing at Pyramid Lake with astronomers from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Edmonton Science Outreach Network, Parks Canada and Edmonton's Telus World of Science.
Ticketed events include instruction in photographing night skies, a welcoming dinner at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and a dinner featuring keynote speaker Ingram at Pyramid Lake Resort. For more information, visit jasper.travel/dark-sky-festival-2013

Bill Kirby
George Breece gets it.
"Crime," says the longtime city resident with his hands on the pulse of the community, "is 24-7."
His words are resonating with city leaders, too, who are emphasizing a safer place for all.
"Our citizens are kicking our butt with it at every single community watch meeting," Val Applewhite, the proactive city councilwoman, said at a recent retreat, where she and fellow council members identified crime prevention and public safety as a No. 1 priority.
Applewhite represents west Fayetteville neighborhoods such as Brentwood, Chestnutt Hills, Cliffdale, Arran Lakes North and Hollywood Heights.
Councilman Bill Crisp sleeps with a handgun by his bed and says he's often vigilant out of fear.
"This crime is eating our lunch," says Crisp, who represents neighborhoods such as Ashton Forest, Beaver Creek, Arran Hills, Arran Lakes West and crime-weary Arran Lakes.
"We need more police officers," says Councilman Robert Massey, who represents neighborhoods such as Tiffany Pines, Hillendale, Country Club North and Kornbow, which has known its share of crime.
Numbers, according to the city Police Department, tell the story:
Violent crimes: Up 13 percent in 2012.
Robberies: Up 15 percent in 2012.
Assaults: Up 12 percent in 2012.
Property crimes: Up a percentage point in 2012 - minimal perhaps, but up all the same.
"We're not going to tolerate crime," Harold Medlock, 55, said Dec. 18 as he offered assurances that he was the right cop to be this city's police chief. "One crime is one crime too many, and one victim is one victim too many. And not acceptable."
He got the job.
Now, there are promises to keep, and Mayor Tony Chavonne and the City Council have issued a mandate.
"Harold and I are going to be working closely together on citywide strategies to fight crime ... to improve the quality of life," says Ted Voorhees, 48, the city manager with zero tolerance for the bad guys, too. "We both agree that we intend to reduce gun crimes, comprehensively address and reduce gang activity, and also improve traffic safety."
Medlock says in his own words that he believes his 31 years with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department led him to this city, and those who know him well say Medlock will make a difference.
"The only light I see in our city's crime tunnel is the fact that our new chief has a dedicated Police Department with the strong backing of a good city manager," says Breece, one of a number of community residents who initially interviewed Medlock.
"As well as a unified City Council when it comes to fighting crime, and the council clearly understands that high crime numbers in our hometown can quickly undo much of the good they have done ...
"Every church in Fayetteville needs to put him on their prayer list," Breece says about Medlock. "His job is no easy task, as crime is 24-7 ... with no holidays."

Push up Slovenia 3.0 and BeBee campaigns raising the meeting destination profile of Slovenia. The BeBee socially responsible initiative attracted support of 821 international meeting industry professionals and generated broad media attention, followed by publication of 16 articles in the leading meeting industry media. During the year-long campaign the percent of RFPs received by the bureau rose 30.7%.
IMEX Challenge 2012 will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, July 2-4, 2012. IMEX Challenge Slovenia will strive to blend environmental objectives with social causes and create positive outcomes for the host community of disabled children and adults in CUDV Draga.

Emancipation & The Civil War (right-click to copy direct link)
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Tuesday, January 1, 2013
President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation 150 years ago on September 22nd, 1862. It ordered the emancipation of all slaves in any Confederate state that did not return to the Union by January 1st, 1863. No Confederate states returned, and Lincoln signed and issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.
In this discussion from the 2012 Civil War Institute Conference at Gettysburg College, history professors and bloggers talk about the debates and controversies of emancipation – its timing, its initial results, and its post-war effects into the 20th century.
Updated: Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 12:16pm (ET)

Historian Michael Burlingame delivers a presentation on Abraham Lincoln and the process by which Lincoln came to embrace the liberation of slaves. His lecture was part of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society's symposium on Emancipation during the Civil War. This program is forty-five minutes.

The most prominent civil rights activist in the 19th century was Frederick Douglass. His relationship with Abraham Lincoln helped convince the President that he must act on the issue of emancipation. History professor Diane Barnes spoke about Douglass at the annual spring symposium of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.
African Americans living in the nation's capital were freed when Abraham Lincoln signed the District of Columbia Emancipation Act in April 1862, nine months before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Kate Masur of Northwestern University spoke about the impact of the law at the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.
History Professor Chandra Manning looks at the Emancipation Proclamation and the escalation of the Civil War. Professor Manning also examines the role that black soldiers played in the Union victory. The class took place at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
History professor Roger Davidson discusses emancipation and U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War. Professor Davidson explains how African Americans used the disorder caused by the Civil War to escape enslavement. He also details how former slaves offered their services to Union forces to help bring about the end of slavery. This class took place at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland.
On American History TV's The Civil War: Historian Gary Gallagher argues that the primary motive of the North during the War was to preserve the "Union"—not to emancipate the slaves. However, Union forces "should" be credited with moving emancipation forward. He presented the keynote address at a symposium on "Emancipation during the Civil War" with the U-S Capitol Historical Society.
The Organization of American Historians Annual Conference 2011 holds a discussion on Emancipation and the Civil War, specifically looking at the contraband camps that offered refuge and protection for escaped slaves. Among the topics were the citizenship rights gained by African-Americans during and after the war, and the abuses inflicted on African-American soldiers.
In 1926, American aviator Richard Byrd attempted to become the first man to fly over the North Pole. He returned from his flight a national hero, winning a Medal of Honor and launching a career as a famous pilot and explorer. However, over the years numerous experts have questioned the authenticity of Byrd's flight, and produced evidence that casts doubt on Byrd's legacy. In this program, author Sheldon Bart examines the life of Richard Byrd, both before and after his historic flight. He argues that Byrd did indeed make it all the way to the North Pole, and that his reputation as an explorer should not be tarnished by his detractors.

Electronic Arts and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) will be hosting a panel entitled "Homophobia in Virtual Communities" to discuss methods on how to combat discrimination and hatred language in online gaming communities.
Included in the panel are GayGamer Founder Flynn De Marco, Maxis Senior Producer Caryl Shaw and XBL Program Manager (aka virtual bouncer) Stephen Toulouse. Toulouse's participation in the panel is significant because of the various controversies that Microsoft has found itself dragged into in relation to their policies that are allegedly homophobic. The company has since pledged to have a second look at said policies to address the complaints.
The event will be held this Saturday, July 18th, at the EA headquarters in Redwood City.

-- -- Arizona just announcing it will not create a state insurance exchange under the new health care law.
That's an exchange a marketplace for people go to pick and choose what coverage they want.
Seventeen states and are refusing to set of those exchanges and that means.
That'll be -- to the federal government to do it for them -- Georgia governor Nathan Deal is one of the governors who is that you were rejected the exchange.
He is our guest live now out of Atlanta answered good morning -- you governor thank you for your time.
Good morning nice to be -- you were on the record about a week ago -- just use your words here.
We have no interest in spending our tax dollars -- exchange at -- state based in name only putting me back.
Well it appears that everything will be dictated by the federal government.
The flexibility that states that ask for appears not to be exist and in their proposals.
We've asked questions a number of us governors have sent official questions to the secretary.
How severely is asking the kind of information that we need answers to.
And we've received virtually none of those and often there are several reasons why.
I think you find states rejecting it first of all he is the calls it is an unknown figure.
And all of us are struggling to meet our current obligations under Medicaid.
And to add up factor that is an unknown.
Is simply something that is not accept our governor I -- -- go through a series of questions here in the three minister we have OK you know your detractors say sure they say are just plan politics.
What do you say to them.
I say absolutely not you know historically.
The regulation of insurance has been a state function that's why we have state insurance commissioners we -- have a federal insurance commissioner.
We will have won of course maybe not in name but in practicality.
It is not politics it is the cost.
And the question of state control over an issue that's so important to citizens of our states and so -- seventeen some suggest this -- could climb well -- twenty.
Some people even suggesting 25 might be the number in the end but you you're doing it because you think you're saving taxpayer dollars in your state.
How much money do you think you're saving taxpayers because this decision.
What it is an unknown amount first of all we do not know what -- requirements are going to be for administrative cost.
It is obviously in the millions of dollars every year.
And certainly something that our state budget can out of -- okay now -- the services for the people who live in your state.
Will they now be worse off than perhaps somebody who's living -- -- else that actually has one of these exchanges.
I don't see how that is the issue if they have an insurance policy.
And if all insurance policies are going to have to meet the criteria of the federal government.
Then if they have a policy that is issued by state exchange or a federal exchange.
Presumably their benefits would be -- -- -- -- if the federal government is slow to set -- one of these exchanges you know there there's there's a group of people who will be without insurance.
They just back to the question are they worse off or not because they live in Georgia.
I don't think there will be any worse off the federal government is always said if the states do not establish the exchanges that they would do so.
I think the reality is that they are not prepared to do that.
Because late to do not know what it's -- -- call I think you're right about that and based on the reporting we're getting fourteen months away the federal government's a long way from making this happen.
What do you believe happens to the overall law.
-- states like Georgia and sixteen plus others.
Refused to go along with this aspect of -- Well I don't know of course that's going to be up to congress as to whether or not they come back in and try to tweak it to the -- states the kind of flexibility that we've all asked for.
I do not see that in the short term I think it's going to be a situation where if the federal government cannot make it work.
Then the practicality is going to dictate that they have to be changing -- -- even some Democrats this week for suggesting that some of the should be in negotiations over the fiscal cliff to try and can prove it before we get too far down the road you think it's likely.
Well I don't know I think the up fiscal cliff issues are certainly at this point bigger than perhaps this one is in the short term.
But in the long term because implementation greatest point fourteen it will certainly be a factor to be considered.
I do not see how you of soul of these calls a long -- it's.
The expanded Medicaid rolls that that the act content Alaska governor thank you for your time Nathan Deal Republican out of Georgia appreciate you sharing your.
Opinions with us thank you -- Like -- all right --

Lolla Prep Post 1 of God Only Knows: Spoon, MUTEMATH, The National, Foxy Shazam
Let's be honest with each other, as friends. I have been doing a really terrible job of covering current albums. While the reasons are both many and none, I have had the fire lit under me. I realized that there is less than a month until Lollapalooza and I have lots of bands on my "to see" list whose current albums I either haven't yet heard or haven't talked to you about. I am on a quest to fix that. Below, the first four.
Spoon – Transference: It is, as has been said, as flawless as every other Spoon album. But I'm listening with one ear toward the festival and this might not translate well. It's kind of jammy, and if, like most bands, the live version is even jammier, people might head for the bar. Hipsters aren't down for that noise.
MUTEMATH – Armistice: Oh man, you guys! I meant to pick this album up when it came out forever ago and I'm kinda kicking myself. This album is ferocious. It's the same sort of easy listening scenepop that they always made, and this should pretty much replace The Format in everyone's hearts, but there's all this complexity, like horns in random places and weird haunting songs. And every single song has the undercurrent of their drummer's unbelievable energy and mastery. I'm in awe. They just got upgraded to must see.
The National – High Violet: This is alt-countrier than I expected, but not in a bad way! I expect tons of girls in knee length skirts and bandanas at this set, just swaying. It'll be a cool mellow set, the perfect thing for the evening when the sun starts to set. (Bonus: they play right before Sunday headliners Arcade Fire!)
Foxy Shazam – Foxy Shazam: Confession time: Part of the reason I haven't been Johnny on the spot currently is that I am having job stresses and, when that happens, what I need to light a fire under my ass and keep me kicking life in the posterior is this album. If this doesn't make you want to tear your shirt off or start swinging around a pole, snarling, then you might be deceased. This band is silly enough to just be a novelty act (one of the members is named only Daisy. He is a dude), but that throws you off kilter and then the rock hits you broadside. Plus, it's music about being awesome and taking names and I have thought more than once about getting a tattoo of the best lyric on the album. ("Life is a bitch, but she's totally doable.") Also, if this band is ever in your neck of the woods, GO SEE THEM. Even if you never got around to listening to their music. Trust me. Just … trust me.

Sales training courses done by a professional sales consultant will not just help businesses increase profit opportunities, but will also guarantee that your sales team operates at the highest point of their capability. In today's competent world, it is now time to become consistent in your sales approach rather than hoping and hitting.
Every year, companies in various parts of the world invest a lot of resources in ads, but are they investing a sufficient amount in sales training courses? Sales education is an integral aspect of a company, particularly if your company is a big one. Those who keep sales team classes yearly definitely see its advantages and its bang on sales results.
Sales training courses are essential because every company requires having an efficient sales force in order to sell its services or products. Keep in mind that the presentation of the entire sales team is important to the success of the company. Without an efficient business strategy and a reliable and skilled staff, the company will likely fail to obtain its goal, long term or short term.
The Major Benefit of Sales Training Courses
The main benefit of investing in the sales staff is found in the capability to concentrate every person's mind on all essential factors of the sales procedures. This comprises interpersonal ability, communication skills, how to close deals and offer deals and even basic aspects of the sales procedure. Every company has its own way of gaining clients. Hence, it is important to teach employees how to manage their personal target market. This is important as every business has a diverse style of customers.
The issue now comes with selecting the right kind of training for your employees. First and foremost, the programs must be suitable for the company and the target market. Studies have found out that just about 25% of the whole sales team put in about 90% of the total amount of sales. From this detail alone, it is safe to presume that some of those who make up the sales staff are not educated enough about the jobs provided to them. It might also be concluded that approximately 75% of them require being educated even more or they might just have selected the wrong career. Yet, the significance of sales education can be figured out from the aforementioned example.
For companies wanting to enhance their sales results, it is important to conduct study on which sales training courses they must get. Studying the methods of other top companies is the best way to determine this. Understand which selling strategies also evolve together with technology. Lots of sales training courses cover subjects regarding how to utilize technology as a tool for selling.
Sales consultants help workers hone their skills. Without sufficient and proper training, the production will be less possible to improve. Hence, don't see sales training courses as an expense, but instead an investment.
To grow the company strategically, investing in sales training courses will give the best ROI. Visit sales-alliance.com to know more the benefits of sales training courses.

Suit: Hospital granted request for no black nurses
Nurse's suit: Michigan hospital granted father's request for no black nurses caring for newborn
An African-American nurse claims that a Michigan hospital agreed to a man's request that no black nurses care for his newborn.
Forty-nine-year-old Tonya Battle said she "didn't even know how to react" when she learned about the request from the father in October at Hurley Medical Center in Flint. The Flint Journal reports Battle sued last month in Genesee Circuit Court.
In a statement Monday, Hurley said it "does not comment on past or current litigation."
Battle claims she was working as a registered nurse in the Flint hospital's neonatal intensive care unit caring for an infant Oct. 31, 2012, when the child's father asked to speak to her supervisor.
The father, who is not named in the suit, told the supervisor that he did not want an African American nurse taking care of his baby, the suit alleges. The father allegedly rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo that was believed to be a swastika while talking with the supervisor, the suit says.
According to the lawsuit, the supervisor then reassigned the infant to a different nurse.
On Nov. 1, 2012, a decision was made to grant the father's request that no African American nurses care for his child, the suit alleges.
