WASHINGTON—The U.S. and Afghanistan reached agreement Saturday for the handover of the U.S.'s main detention facility to the Afghan government, the Pentagon said, ending a standoff that strained ties between Kabul and Washington.
The Afghan government had planned a ceremony earlier this month to mark an important step toward regaining full sovereignty: obtaining from the U.S. full control of the detention facility at the Bagram Air Field north of Kabul. But in a surprise to the U.S., the event was canceled after Afghan President Hamid Karzai unexpectedly raised objections to the agreement at the last minute.
The new agreement puts the facility under Afghan control starting on Monday, a senior U.S. defense official said. As part of the deal, the official said, an Afghan-led review board will evaluate whether certain detainees are too dangerous to be released.
Afghan officials had no immediate comment.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who spoke with Mr. Karzai about the agreement on Saturday, welcomed what he called the Afghan leader's "commitment that the transfer will be carried out in a way that ensures the safety of the Afghan people and coalition forces by keeping dangerous individuals detained," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.
The jail, officially known as the Detention Facility in Parwan, has been a flash point in U.S.-Afghan relations for months. Under an agreement concluded a year ago, around over 3,000 Afghans held by the U.S. at the facility were transferred to Afghan custody by a September deadline.
Since that deal, however, the U.S. and its allies have taken hundreds of fresh detainees in military operations. Officials from both countries have been working for months to negotiate the transfer of those detainees deemed especially dangerous by coalition commanders.
U.S. military commanders have been concerned that dangerous prisoners still in U.S. custody would quickly resume attacks on Afghan and coalition forces if they are released or provided amnesty by the Afghan government.

Julianne's timing couldn't have been worse: she fell in love with her best friend on the day he decides to marry someone else. Now she's out to steal him away from his charming fiancee... By any means necessary!
The film is centered on the character Julianne Potter (Roberts), a 27 year-old New York restaurant critic who finds out that her long-time male friend Michael O'Neal (Mulroney) is getting married. The two previously made an agreement that they would marry each other when they turned 28 if they were still both not married, which privately Julianne (called 'Jules') has been hoping would happen.

Hey guys
I'm a bit down right this moment. Finished the dulcimer and it really looked like it turned out great. The finish turned out nice and shiny. I was playing it and getting used to the brighter sound than I'm used to. I prefer a mellower sound but I knew this one would have a brighter sound.
I took some pics of it and posted here on the site...that's when I saw IT.....how in the world I never saw it before is beyond me but I totally missed it.
The fretboard is closer to one side than the other side...in other words off center. I had marked the centerline of my end blocks and centered my fretboard on that mark. The only other thing I can think of that might have happened is that I must have cut one side of the end blocks at a different angle than the other side although the angles look the same on both sides.
So any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

What you're holding in your hands is an advanced, rapid-release nitric oxide system. A nitric oxide formula designed to deliver extreme, vascular hyper-expansion and powerful muscle pumps. In fact, when combined with your intense training program, you'll experience overwhelming, muscle-swelling pumps after just your very first dose. Introducing naNOx9® Hardcore Pro Series� - a nitric oxide generating powerhouse!*
Designed for Powerful Pumps, Skin-Tight Fullness and Extreme Hardness*
Nearly half a decade after taking the supplement industry by storm with the global launch of naNOx9®, Team MuscleTech� researchers, who bring you America's #1 selling sports supplement brand, introduce naNOx1t Hardcore Pro Series�. It's engineered to meet the needs of a hard-training athlete, like you, and trigger rapid vasodilation of blood vessels and massive muscle pumps.*
4-Stage Nitric Oxide Hyper-Activation
Stage 1: Rapid Increases in Nitric Oxide Production
naNOX9® Hardcore is the only formula to contain a pharmaceutically inspired key compound engineered to enter the endothelial cells through the membrane or receptors. This activates the cell to send amplified signals to flood your system with nitric oxide (N.O.).*
Stage 2: Activation of Key Signaling Enzymes
Newly formed N.O. molecules are forced from the endothelium into smooth muscle cells, where they activate the enzyme guanylyl cyclase (GC).
Stage 3: Minimization of Calcium Ion Concentration Through cGMP production
GC converts guanosine triphosphate (GTP) into cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which then causes calcium to become stored and not released into smooth muscle cells, prolonging the pump.
Stage 4: Forcing Maximum Vasodilation and Pumps
As a result, contractile reactions within smooth muscle cells are decreased, which leads to relaxation, causing maximum vasodilation to force dramatic increases in blood flow.*
naNOX9® Hardcore Maximum Vasodilation Triggers:
naNOx9 is the hardest hitting formulation legally available. That's why we guarantee it's physiologically impossible to consume naNOx9 and not feel its effects. The intense, vein-gorging pumps you'll experience with one dose of naNOx9 are unlike the effects you might get from any regular nitric oxide product on the market today.*

Using video on a landing page can increase conversion by up to 86%.
This statistic comes from a study by EyeView on various ecommerce sites.
In the study, two different variations of the same website were built, with 50% of the traffic being directed to a landing page with an embedded video, the other 50% directed to a page without.
The website that achieved the largest conversion rate (86%) was an online tutoring service. This is clearly the type of company that would naturally benefit from a landing page video, as most of its content is likely to be delivered via that medium anyway. It's a free 'sampler', a way to show how professional and useful your service is before the visitor has signed up for a subscription.
Video is one of the best and most persuasive of all visual tools as it's capable of delivering large amounts of information quickly and succinctly. Especially if it's about a new service or product.

We love brands, right? We marvel at the most successful, and feel genuine sorrow for previously loved brands that disappear.
The life of any company founded today is shortening as time goes on. Brands have disappeared, and will continue to do so, for many different reasons.
A company can seriously jeopardise its future by taking its eye off the ball for less than a year. Agile methodology is becoming more and more important, as power is wrested away from old-school, bean-counting management.
This post presents some lost brands, some soon to be lost, and asks the question 'why exactly?'

One of the benefits of ecommerce is that it's very easy to present a range of products side-by-side so that shoppers can compare the various features.
This makes greatly helps the decision-making process as customers can select a product based on which has the most relevant features as well as being the best value for money.
Retailers can also present additional details such as special offers and product reviews in order to increase the chances of a conversion.

I worked on a conference talk called Ban the Blog with a colleague about a year ago. It was a purposefully provocative title and an extreme view, but one I believe many businesses and website owners need to heed (yes, I get the irony of writing this on a blog platform, but hopefully you'll see past that minor contradiction).
Blogs can often become a content dumping ground and despite the rising influence of structured content strategies into the broad digital direction, let's start a blog' is still a statement that is regularly touted in planning sessions.
But creating a blog and chronologically presenting what you produce isn't necessarily the answer to your content needs.
Putting your content in date order may make sense in some instances (and with some CMS platforms it's your only option), but just because it's your latest, it isn't necessarily your greatest or the most relevant for your audience.

Small details can make a big difference to the user experience, saving users' time, making it easier for them to spend money, or just generally making it more enjoyable.
Some of these things are so widespread and expected now that you don't even notice them, such as postcode lookup tools on sites. They were not always there, and save you a lot of hassle.
So, inspired by sites like littlebigdetails, I've rounded up 15 examples of little UX touches I've come across myself, or have found via sites like Pinterest.
Some are obvious, some less so, and there is a general ecommerce slant to this list. Please suggest any examples you've seen lately...

Email marketing is the communication glue within your digital marketing and all of this communication is trackable.
Tracking gives you the ability to understand the journey between the message and the call to action, which means that you can give this journey a value.
With this in mind, reviewing success or failure is critical so that you can affect the change in your campaigns and the actual value those campaigns are bringing.

In the run up to Christmas 2013, it seems that online fashion retailer ASOS is the top UK brand on Pinterest, generating 1,728 shares per week.
These findings come from the latest study by Searchmetrics, based on the top ten UK retail sites.
Every company in the top 10 has set up its own official Pinterest page, largely as a result of the image based platform becoming the third biggest social network globally and increasingly responsible for driving traffic towards ecommerce.
ASOS has recently redesigned its homepage to put added emphasis on content marketing, and already has a strong cross-platform strategy when it comes to social.
Here's some more stats that highlight ASOS's success on Pinterest.

Today's blog comes from Candace Weir, Central Library staff:
Another new book has a home in the collection. It is Richard Diebenkorn: the Ocean Park series. This series of abstract paintings transport me back to the clear cerulean blue of the ocean, the white sands and the clapboard beach front houses of southern California.
The artist started producing paintings for this series in 1967. It was at this point, that he moved from a highly successful career making representational figurative paintings to Ocean Park's strangely emotive abstracts.
The paintings remind me of the experience of flying over the rice fields that surround Sacramento. While flying through the clouds and sky, you could also see them reflected from the patchwork of watery shapes below. The experience was all too fleeting but my memories of it persist. I find that Diebenkorn's abstract style captures these sensations better than a representational style would. My mind too easily identifies with objects and starts to categorize them withering the emotional impact.
His use of colour and his technique of application are fascinating. Thin layers of colours are partially scraped away to reveal the layers below which creates subtler shades. These complex colours are coupled with sharp delineations of forms that hint of roads and buildings – surreal subdivisions. There is an aerial feel to his paintings.
As well, the paintings flirt with light; an inner light defines them.
Any one of his paintings would have a honoured position on my walls, although the ones he did on the lids of cigar boxes have a special appeal.
This book plays homage to a wonderful body of work and a great painter. It is about time.

Over the weekend, rescuers found an outstretched hand sticking out from the rubble. In the man's clenched fist, a crumpled piece of paper.
"Dear father and mother," it read. "Please forgive me that I can't buy your medication anymore. Dear brother, please tend to our parents."
The note then named the victim's village. "Please send my body there."
In another case, workers found two bodies covered in dust. A man and a woman holding each other in an embrace as they awaited death.
Khan, the reporter, recalled coming across a man trapped from his waist down under a heavy slab of concrete.
Awakened by the flash from photographers' cameras, he pleaded to be rescued.
"Brothers, please save me! Please save me!" he urged.
For three days, he pleaded.
But there was little anyone could do. The slab proved too heavy to lift off him, Khan said.
The man died.
But the miracles keep workers going.
A woman was pulled out after more than 45 hours. She had been trapped under a machine. After failing to pull her hand out, rescue workers were forced to saw it off. But she lived.
Another woman who went into labor and gave birth while trapped was also pulled out alive. Her baby also lived.
The desperate wait
Outside the perimeter of the rescue area, family members wait, holding hands, mouthing silent prayers, holding pictures of missing relatives.
Gone are the wailing and crying that punctuated the air the first few days after the building crumbled.
As hope died, so did the tears.
Each time a body is pulled out -- dead or alive -- there's a desperate dart toward ambulances.
It ends in a wild cheer in some cases. But in most, heaves and sobs follow.
"The whole situation is so helpless," Khan said. "They don't know how to lift these slabs. They don't have the right equipment."
The unapproved plan
Disaster Management Minister Abul Hasan Mahmood Ali said Sunday the building was not built up to code.
It was erected on a wetland, and engineers used substandard materials for construction.

Wednesday the 20th March saw the first of Search London's half day events taking place in Google Campus in London, an area widely referred to as the Silicon Roundabout. The event was set to focus on Entrepreneurship and Content Marketing, and, having been to a number of Search London events before, I knew that it wasn't due to disappoint. If you don't know, Search London is a long running and much revered London SEO meetup, ran by passionately by State of Search's very own Jo Turnbull, amongst others. The half-day promised a line up of great speakers, including:
And according to the organisers the day promised to share:
Dixon Jones kicked off proceedings by talking about MajesticSEO and discussing the topic of flow metrics and how influence flows on the web. MajesticSEO's view of Trust Flow through links looks something like this: After this he uncovered a number of the great new features that MajesticSEO has on offer, many of these were demonstrated as part of Tools Weeks and you can read more about them here.

By Kevin Gibbons of Blueglass UK Kevin started saying that he won't be covering anything really to do with SEO or content marketing. Instead, he is going to be covering what he's learned in 10 years of his career. Sit back and prepare to be inspired…

Earning links is a 3 phase process
What makes us newsworthy?
Google Consumer Surveys
Holistic Marketing Strategies: The Heart of Good Stories, lie in Data "It is such a cliche: Don't just present data, tell a story. Yet it is rarely followed. We almost always present data." Avinash Kaushik Mechanisms for telling a story:
"Rather than 'big' large volumes of data it's actually about the third dimension – like velocity of data." Ed Parsons (Google Head of Geo-Spatial Technology) TheMediaFlow Process for Earning Links Top tip: To ensure that you get the link,' hold something back' – then you can provide this as additional value
James Carson of Carson Content (and State of Search blogger) Storytelling – So, is this a bit of a joke? Or another buzzword?
As part of this event Jo Turnbull, who is speaking at SES New York with a talk called Screw Link Building, it's Called Relationship Building took this opportunity to do carry out a little experiment. The experiment was called SEO at the heart of Google, represented by this SEO meetup happening at a Google owned building, according to Jo "…it shows Google does like SEO and they are supporting Search London. In the end the experiment had over 100 tweets (some of the most notable ones included below) and I had 650 visits to my website in one day." So, as Jo will be putting it at SES New York, it's certainly not about link building, it's about relationship building, content marketing can be done on a budget!

Also, in typical Search London fashion, the event was rounded up by a 'meet the speakers' evening meetup, with MajesticSEO kindly sponsoring the bar. As usual, it was a great event and I would highly recommend keeping an eye out for the next Search London event.

Product 249/2178
Ben can't walk away from Aiden, even though Aiden seems to have no problem walking away from him, time and time again. In spite of his friend's warnings, Ben refuses to believe that Aiden is just using him, until a devastating secret is revealed. However, Aiden isn't the only one with something to hide.
Someone else is keeping a secret that threatens not only Ben and Aiden's relationship, but Ben's very life. Will they be able to keep Ben alive?
A sleepy murmur of discontent escaped Ben Osborne as a draft of cool air touched his skin, and he curled his body tighter under the thick comforter. Feeling the mattress dip beside him, Ben sighed.
"Woodstock, if you drool on my pillow again, I will kick your furry ass, you hear?"
When his dog didn't so much as whine a protest, Ben chose to take that as a binding agreement, and snuggled down further into the warm bed.
The fog of sleep was starting to pull him back under when the bed moved again and another wisp of chill, early morning air slipped under the comforter.
"Woodstock, quit fidgeting or you can go back to your own be -- ah!" Ben's eyes popped open when a hand that absolutely did not belong to Woodstock, or any other dog, slid along his bare thigh and cupped his cock through the thin cotton of his boxers.
"What the fuck?" Ben whipped aside the comforter with one hand, while the other hand scrabbled blindly for the lamp switch by the bed. When the light clicked on he blinked rapidly, head swimming in that way it did when he jumped up out of bed too quickly. But he was still in bed, and he wasn't alone. "Aiden?"
Stretched out on the other side of the bed, gloriously naked, his head resting on his fist and a lopsided smile tugging at his mouth, Aiden Kane looked up at Ben from moss green eyes framed by ridiculously thick lashes.
"You would have preferred Woodstock?" Aiden arched an eyebrow in question, but there was a confidence in his eyes that told Ben the man knew he was far from disappointed.
Of their own accord, Ben's eyes drifted over Aiden's long, hard body, the last vestiges of sleep floating away to be replaced by fierce want, as his body began to respond to the vision laid out before him.
"I would prefer not to have a heart attack in my own bed." Ben's voice was thick and rough with arousal, and Aiden's smile deepened.

Eating Animals: Summary and book reviews of Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
This is a book that everyone should read, vegetarian or not. It is didactic without being dull, it presents its arguments without preaching, it manages to be both approachable in style and appealing to educated readers, and it offers up new arguments in addition to some familiar ones... Perhaps Foer's vision is idealistic, but it is hopeful. And one of the loveliest qualities of Eating Animals is its hopefulness, not just for animals but for human beings as well.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
It's time to bring in Wally Ferris you know him from this channel he is a Middle Eastern expert Chad good morning to long.
Good morning and -- -- -- you hard to believe the events have unfolded in the last to twelve hours if you've been up and watching -- just recapping this morning your initial thoughts.
Well I think that now we have moved from the level of just a team that.
Support for an operation that was -- to if I -- team.
Now if we couple that with the fact.
Is that they have a Chechen background or any of the background that have international connections we are -- at this point in time with the possibility.
Of international terrorism that moves.
The file from homegrown.
And international level.
So what do you make of the fact that new reports now fox reporting that these two Brothers had been in the United States of America for several years now.
As your expertise would tell you would they come here initially.
At such a young -- To be terrorists.
Or is -- something that they decide to do once they're here.
What's not then we'll decide if they have been indoctrinated as they have been radicalize it and been recruited.
-- are moving -- that sound of that network that trend -- I mean what we see when I was -- -- on the screen these are.
The fighters these are terrorists fighters and a half without urban fighters have been able to create those -- have been able to fight against the law enforcement -- police man.
And that is one on the run we've spoken about -- fighting units so.
When that happened we don't know most likely they have gotten the indoctrination first.
Came to the United States.
Planned that activity.
And then decided or somebody decided for them to engage in that activity this is not just to individuals who made that decision that part of a network.
You know can I ask you -- let him to have to be very careful and very clear about this -- watching the Twitter feeds and PR news is reporting that third man has been arrested now.
If that is true.
If that's sure nice to emphasize that this has been a lot of misinformation going back and forth but if that's true.
Take us how how how big can speak and -- spread to more than just the third maybe fourth fifth or more how big is this cell likely.
Think what what I need basically is to understand really if the nationality has been -- that would that would kind of fluff stuff because.
The Chechen Jihad network is very expensive they have a huge network inside Russia and Chechnya.
But they have been involved and other battlefields they have gone to Afghanistan our government has reports.
Got the statement -- in congress about Jihad Chechen.
Trained in Afghanistan they were found in Pakistan.
And in many other countries and we know with that Chechen Jihad have traveled to the United States back and forth so if that is the case.
Then it will be most likely that those two individuals.
Have logistical support had even tactical support within the United States because the one who is -- lose right now.
He was fleeing fleeing to where to leave the country -- -- -- some hideouts within the United States.
What do you believe from what you know and knowing that there in the area they know about surveillance camera -- here for at least a year they have to know the level of security in the major cities.
The fact is when those pictures went up that was there -- -- for a second wave does it look to -- the earmarks of -- second wave.
Look we don't know it all depends on what what the initial mission the initial mission was to strike in Boston and as someone has meant nothing Jennifer has mention.
The fact that they did not act that's suicide bombers although tensions have done suicide bombing in the past.
It means that day where.
To do a second wife or to join another team for a second wave that's the tactic if you don't kid yourself in his suicide bombing mission -- -- that you have.
Another mission now the way that they would train for Bobby and fighting means to me that there are part of a fighting -- and therefore they could be a support.
For them.
I don't think that the support will now try to save them because they don't want -- -- cover themselves.
It's that I just amazing to me that Chechnya -- who love to fight ended in that area.
And I understand that they teamed up with the Taliban and teamed -- with al-Qaeda in different scenarios but they would actually come over here.
And try to perpetrate this if the if they indeed are -- and being that -- forty have a dirty on Russia's hit list.
What will -- -- -- the public is that nationality is irrelevant at this point in time once we know that they are jihadist.
Meaning al-Qaeda and I am using now the Tom -- because Chechen -- this target band upset by both Pakistan.
Are connected to al-Qaeda Al qaeda's new strategy as we lead and inspire magazine has read on line in in the chat rooms.
Pick and choose which kind of nationality that can fit with the man with a country -- -- to send them to.
So the fact that these person could be from India from Syria from Chechnya.
Or American born is irrelevant at this point in time it is that what is relevant is they jihadist who they have a connection international.
All right -- Walid Ferris.
Interesting insight from somebody who knows expert -- if you would please stick around we're gonna.

MARTIN– The University of Tennessee at Martin football team finished this past season with an 8-3 record on the field. More success followed off the field and in the classroom.
Forty members of the football team, almost half the squad, made at least a 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA), while 30 players made the Dean's List and four made a perfect 4.0 GPA.
"This is the best the team has done since I have been here at UT Martin," head football coach Jason Simpson said.
For the second consecutive semester, all student-athletes at UT Martin earned at least a 3.0 or better. One semester removed from a school-best 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA), the student-athletes earned a 3.05 GPA for the Fall 2012 semester.
"I'm so proud of our student-athletes for achieving a 3.0 GPA for two consecutive semesters," said Phil Dane, UT Martin director of intercollegiate athletics.

Hi All,
Just started playing old-time fiddle, and hope to get a mandolin soon as well. Have a bunch of fiddle cds, but nothing with mandolin on it (old-time I mean; I have bluegrass, classical, and yank rachell). Who should I be listening to?
Hi All,
Just started playing old-time fiddle, and hope to get a mandolin soon as well. Have a bunch of fiddle cds, but nothing with mandolin on it (old-time I mean; I have bluegrass, classical, and yank rachell). Who should I be listening to?
Here's who I like
Clyde Curley and Oxymorons
Foghorn Stringband
Reeltime Travelers
Skip Gorman
Mike Compton and David Long
The Buchannon Brothers
Check out Kenny Hall and the Sweets Mill String Band. Jody Stecher also plays some nice OT mandolin.
Oh yeah, Norman Blake ain't bad either.
Conversely, I like to listen to the fiddlers and see what I can absorb. There's a lot more of them and there are a lot more styles to sort through.
Have fun!
Mandolin teacher (in person and skype) and performer. Never had a better job!
My solo Career Site
my vids
I have to second the recommendations for Gorman, Curley and Buckhannon. They are the current "Big 3" of OT mando, IMHO, not that some of the others mentioned aren't great also.
BTW, if you can't get enough of Curtis Buckhannon playing with the Buckhannon Brothers, you can also catch him with the Ill-Mo Boys on thier current CD.
You should also check out Bruce Ling on the "Hawks and Owls" website. He does some great OT mando stuff, which can be found in the "download music" section. I really wish he would do a CD.
In addition, I recently found a gem of a recording that was done in 1973, but has only recently been released. It is called "Traditional Fiddle Tunes" and it is by Harry Liedstrand (fiddle), Cary Lung (mando) and David Green (guitar). All these guys used to play with Kenny Hall. The OT mando work is very good throughout. It can only be gotten directly from Harry Liedstrand. The email I used with him was: firstname.lastname@example.com, although the CD also has an address of: firstname.lastname@example.com. I highly recommend it.
Don't forget to listen to other instruments, too. Mandolin is my main, but I play some other things; once, someone commented that they liked my old-time sound, "lots of drones and stuff, just like your clawhammer banjo playing."
"Be kind to the band; they never get to dance"
IMO THE mandolin (and mandola and mandocello) tour de force is Norman and Nancy's Natasha's Waltz:
I'd say Norman, Peter O., and Carl Jones (all on this record) are my mandolin "big three" (so check other recordings by them as well). If you haven't heard it, the record might blow you away (it does to me every time I put it on). However, the tunes are NOT simple, and I am just now (after a few years of mando) getting to where I can pick out some of the melodies.
Some of it is beautiful American parlor music, and some just plain rocks!
Have fun,
Let's pick!!
I like the New Lost City Ramblers and the Red Clay Ramblers in addition to many of the already mentioned players. Try some of the "brothers" duos.
Jim Yates
If you get a hold of the Indian Creek Delta Boys records, they have lots of mandolin by Chirps Smith before he switch to mostly playing fiddle these days.
Fiddle, Mandolin and Guitar. All instrumental.
Bing Brothers from WVA. Mike Bing plays some great OT mandolin
Russ Jordan
Wow, thanks for all the replies everyone, I can't wait to check a bunch of these out. Maybe I'll end up playing fiddle tunes on my mandolin (when I get one) and mandolin tunes on my fiddle!
Dont forget Carl Jones!! One of my personal faves ( and a heck of a guy!), if you ever get a chance to see him or meet him - do!
Yep, Carl Jones. I mentioned him in my post above. A great guy and one heck of a player. Makes a guit, banjo, fiddle, and uke sound great too! I'm fortunate to be taking a few lessons from him recently.
Let's pick!!
I agree with what everyone has said,especially about Carl Jones,he is a great musician and a great guy plays some mean OT mandolin on his 1924 Gibson A4.
He has toured the UK three times with Beverly Smith and I have been lucky to see him six times.He is back in September at the Didmartin bluegrass festival he is going to take part in the mandolin workshop.Carl out of interest played on Natasha's Waltz.
Man, I'd have to heartily agree. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys at a relatively small private party tonight, and Mike did an awesome job. Super nice guy, too, as are his brothers. I had a blast listening to them, but they also warmly tolerated me sitting outside the circle and trying to keep up (I couldn't, by the way, but had a blast).
Found this thread on a google search, btw, hence the 4 year gap...
Of course, of course.
I did a search here the other day for "old-time" since I was looking for some recommended listening. I read for hours through many great threads and wrote down many of the bands/artists I found. I'll save some folks here a bit of time and list what I found:
The Carter Family
Carl Jones & Beverly Smith
Peter Sutherland
Foghorn Stringband
Curtis Buckhannon (who came up time and again)
The Compton/Long collaborations
Skip Gorman (Mandolin In The Cow Camp gets rave reviews here)
Kenny Hall with the Sweets Mill String Band
Clyde Curley
Blue Sky Boys
The Louvin Brothers
John Hartford (The CD Speed of the Long Bow was mentioned a lot)
Coley Jones and the Dallas String Band
The Dickel Brothers
The Allen Brothers
Three Stripped Gears
Red Fox Chasers
Prairie Ramblers
The New Lost City Ramblers (a lot seem to enoy this band!)
Camp Creek Boys
County Camp Creek Boys (might be the same guys; I'm not sure?)
The Hunger Mountain Boys
Smokey Valley Boys
Mike Seeger & Jody Stecher collaborations (or anything by Mike Seeger)
The Skillet Lickers
The Rising Fawn String Ensemble
Toast String Stretchers
And these are just what I wrote down. There were more, but these seemed of interest to me; hopefully this list will help others on the journey of discovering great old-time music.
Uncle Earl!
Check these out. From Old Hat Records.

Violin, sing the blues for me. http://www.oldhatrecords.com/cd1002.html
The last two are fiddle but would work very well for mando, IMO.
I love stuff on 78s
Try some Old Crow Medicine Show; IE: Wagon Wheel
And: Anything by Done Gone String Band.

The Executive Staff approved the Constitution and Bylaws of the Staff Council of Texas Woman's University in mid-1999. A Steering Committee of 14 longtime staff members from components across the University at the Denton, Dallas and Houston campuses worked for three years to formulate the Constitution and Bylaws. Steering Committee members were Jim Stiles, Patrick Vasquez, Sharon Saullo, Joe Lyle, Vicki Ratcliff, Amy Hall, Don Viator, Katie Flemming, Helene Bonavita, Mary Ramsey, Laurie Hammett, Lori Nelson, Mary Ann McDuff and Ann Hatch.
Human Resources was asked by Interim President Beverley Byers-Pevitts to coordinate the first Staff Council elections. TWU's first Staff Council held it's first meeting on September 29, 1999. Its first order of business was to elect officers and establish the standing committees.

NIU Huskies Football Ticket Info
For fans who wonder if this will be the year when a MAC title comes to DeKalb, the answer is: Yes, it could. Of course, this has been the answer for the last ten years.
Over the last ten seasons, Northern Illinois has had a winning record eight times. But over the last four years, despite a win-loss record that looks good on paper, the Huskies are 1-20 against teams that finished the season with a winning record. This is the year when the Huskies need to come up with some big wins at last, and they certainly have the pieces in place to do just that. If you want to be there to see it, get your Northern Illinois football tickets from GoTickets.com today.
The NIU Huskies roster brings back the main components of a rushing attack that finished first in the MAC last season, with senior Chad Spann taking the handoffs and running behind a solid line. Junior Chandler Harnish will call the plays under center, and senior wide receiver Landon Cox will be his top target. The Huskies defense led the MAC in yards allowed last year, and defensive ends Jake Coffman and Sean Progar lead a charge that would love to be able to say the same thing at the end of this next year. Helping out on defense are linebackers Alex Kube and Devon Butler, and this strong unit hopes to lead the way to a Mid-American Conference crown.
The NIU Huskies schedule brings all the excitement of MAC football to DeKalb this year, and the Huskies will also play tough non-conference games against Iowa State, North Dakota (at home on September 11th), Minnesota and a huge game against Illinois. After four away games in the first five weeks of the season, NIU returns to Huskie Stadium for three consecutive home games. The first of these will be against the Temple Owls (October 9th), a big matchup that could decide the best team in the conference. This battle is followed by games against Buffalo (October 16th) and Central Michigan (October 23rd), and NIU will return home two weeks later to face Toledo (November 9th). We have NIU football tickets for every game this season.
NIU Huskies tickets will be a hot item this fall as the Huskies make a run at a MAC title, and we can help you be there for all the big-time action.

I think that there's been an unfortunate tendency for right wing think tanks to dominate these discussions. They often produce very shoddy studies and policy recommendations, which are nevertheless taken very seriously.

Tory Brady was born in California, went to school at UC Berkeley, and finds herself still here in the blue state with the long coastline. She was a registered nurse before she became a teacher, a career change she has never regretted! At the Exploratorium Teacher Institute she works with teachers, helping to bring Exploratorium activities into the classroom, and facilitating the mentoring of new teachers by experienced ones. Tory spends lots of time up in the Sacramento River delta, exploring hidden waterways in a rubber boat. She and her husband have two grown children and two moody cats.
I am a physicist, teacher, author, and rock climber with a Ph.D. in solid-state physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1974). As a tenured professor at Oakland University, I taught a wide range of science courses, including physics, astronomy, geology, electronics, computer programming, and meteorology. In 1986, I came to the Exploratorium Teacher Institute and began my exhibit-based explorations in science. As an author, I have written over two dozen articles for Exploring magazine, and have co-authored the Exploratorium Science Snackbook, the Klutz Book of Magnetic Magic, and the book, Traces of Time: The Beauty of Change in Nature. For musical entertainment, I play the whirly—a corrugated plastic tube. In pursuit of whirly excellence, I have won several competitions, including an award as "Best Science Demonstrator" at the World Congress of Museums in Helsinki in 1996. I recently had fun performing physics activities on Late Night with David Letterman. I am about to finish my second decade as a rock climber, and my second vertical marathon, 26 miles of rock climbing. In 1994, I led a successful ascent of my personal best climb: the East Buttress of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley.
Staff Scientist Bryce Johnson was born and raised in California. He received his BS and MS from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in mechanical engineering, and his PhD in environmental engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. His research and continued interest focuses on issues related to water quality that emphasize the connection between humans and their impact on natural and built environments. In 2009, Bryce completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Texas A&M University at the Laboratory for Oceanographic and Environmental Research. He joined the Teacher Institute in 2010. In addition to working with the Teacher Institute, Bryce is also working with the museum's Outdoor and Observatory exhibit development groups, helping them to develop new exhibits for the museum's move to Pier 15 in 2013.
Bryce is also the director of the Science for Monks project, a teaching project that provides science education leadership to Tibetan monks and nuns exiled in India. He is one of the founders, and has been working consistently with the project since its inception in 2001.
I studied biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz, which led me to a career as a professional bicycle racer. I spent two years on the racing circuit, then returned to school to study painting, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of San Francisco.
After completing the credential program at San Francisco State University, I continued my work in education, completing a Master of Arts in Education. I taught both math and science at the middle school level. My math mentor, Mary Laycock, taught me to be a better math teacher, and even more important, helped me become a "math enthusiast."
My first experience in the Teacher Institute was attending the "classic" four week long Summer Institute in 1991. I loved it, and felt like I was in an environment where anything was possible. As a TI alumnus, I signed up for everything the Exploratorium offered. I had the incredibly good fortune of become a Teacher-in-Residence at the Exploratorium Teacher Institute. I am now starting my nth year as a staff teacher here, where I continue to have the world's best job.
As a life long learner, I also enjoy studying hula, learning Spanish, painting, gardening, cooking, and surfing.
I began my career as a geologist, wandering remote dirt roads of the American Southwest. After a few years, my career metamorphosed into being a science educator, receiving clear credentials in science and math. I began my deviation into technology back in the early 90's when I broke my wrist snowboarding... I bought my first computer because I couldn't write by hand.
Over the past two decades I have taught science and math throughout the Bay Area, and authored several articles for The Science Teacher, The Physics Teacher, several museum publications and a number of websites. For the past fourteen years, I have been a science and technology educator at the Exploratorium Teacher Institute where I provide professional development for teachers from around the world. I have conducted workshops from China to Costa Rica and from Alaska to Tobago.
Besides earning a B.S. in Earth Science from the University of California at Santa Cruz and a M.A. in Education from Columbia University, I have served as a Wright Fellow at Tufts University's Wright Center for Innovation in Science Education. I worked as a professional white water guide and have rafted several dozen rivers with my boat, Ivan Boat-ski. Between meals, I wrote a book entitled,"While You're Waiting for the Food to Come," a book of activities that can be done at restaurants. I made regular appearances on NPR'sSounds Like Science radio show as their "restaurant science commentator." I live on accreted oceanic crust north of San Francisco.
I've taught physics for over forty years—"since the crust cooled," as I've been known to say—in settings including a small college in Liberia, West Africa, a Turkish high school, and public high schools in Pleasanton, California, where I retired from classroom teaching in 1994. I've been working with science teachers at the Exploratorium since 1985, and was deeply involved in the development of the Exploratorium Science Snackbook, published in 1991. The Snackbook shows teachers how to use simple materials to build classroom versions of over 100 Exploratorium exhibits. More recently, I co-authored (with Paul Doherty) Square Wheels, with 31 additional science snacks -- about half of which are based on Exploratorium exhibits and half on activities developed by staff and teachers at the Exploratorium Teacher Institute. The designation of Square Wheels as "An Exploratorium Science Snackbook" makes it essentially the second volume in what is hoped will be an ongoing series in the "science snack" spirit.
My interest in using simple materials to teach physics and physical science was evident even when our own kids were young, and used to find their missing toys in dad's physics lab! In 1983, I began "Physics Day" at Great America, an amusement park in Santa Clara, California. This event has grown from 90 students to over 20,000. Although I'm intrigued by the physics of roller coasters, when it comes to actually riding, I admit to being a merry-go-round kind of guy, and beg off the wild rides— pleading "Certainly it's not fear; it's my inner ear!" Continuing my lifelong interest in toys, I was the author of Lego Crazy Action Contraptions, published by Klutz Press, and am thoroughly enjoying the experience of having our grandchildren build science snacks and toys with grandpa!
I received a B.S. in Engineering from Stanford University and an M.A. in Science Education from Columbia University. My wife, Ann, and I have lived in Pleasanton, California since 1964. We are proud to note that the next generation in our family is batting 6-for-6 in the teaching league, since our three children and their three spouses are all middle school teachers by profession.
Linda Shore is the Director of the Exploratorium's Teacher Institute, a staff physicist, the Mistress of Ceremonies for the Iron Science Teacher webcast series, and co-author of The Science Explorer, The Science Explorer Out and About, and The Brain Explorer, Exploratorium activity books for children and their parents. Before joining the Exploratorium in 1993, Linda taught pre-med physics at San Francisco State University, conducted educational research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and taught science education courses at Boston University. She has a master's degree in physics and astronomy from San Francisco State University and a doctorate in science education from Boston University. When she's not at the museum, Linda teaches graduate courses in educational technology at the University of San Francisco and writes science fiction short stories.
Modesto Tamez has spent the last twenty five years in education; the first 18 years working in the classroom with levels K-12 in Spanish and English with an emphasis in teaching science . The last eight years he has been working with the Exloratorium in San Francisco and San Francisco State University, helping teachers integrate hands on science into their curriculum. Modesto was also director for an NSF supported program to help establish after school science programs through out the state of California.
He is currently coordinating a mentor program, placing experienced teachers in middle school and high school classrooms to help first and second year science teachers. For the last four years, he has been teaching an elementary science methods course in a non traditional intern program at John Muir Elementary School run by San Francisco State University.
Lexie Waite was born and raised in Montpelier, Vermont. Looking for something other than maple, cheddar, and ice cream Lexie landed in Carlise, Pennsylvania for her undergraduate studies. With a focus in archaeology and creative writing, a semester abroad in Athens, Greece brought her face-to-face with the Archaeological Museum of Athens – and a career path was set in motion: the quest for education about informal education was on. After a two-year stint in Boulder, Colorado, Lexie moved out to the Bay Area for graduate school. She recently graduated with a double Master's in Museum Studies and Business Administration from John F. Kennedy University, and is thrilled to be the newest member of the Teacher Institute team. Lexie also enjoys climbing, yoga-ing, cooking, and baseball.
After receiving my bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Brown University, I moved to California to enjoy the perfect weather and the fine food. To support this, I taught middle school math and science in East Palo Alto and then K-12 science at the Tech Museum in San Jose. Along the way, I met the great folks at the Exploratorium Teacher Institute, who helped me teach science the way I'd really learned it—by doing things and experimenting with my own hands. Teaching science reminded me of how much I liked learning science, so I decided to go back to school and learn biology to complement my training in the physical sciences. I enrolled in graduate school at UC, Berkeley and, after gaining intimate knowledge of viruses, stem cells, and how to win at foosball, I received a PhD in chemical engineering with a minor in molecular and cell biology. I joined the TI staff as a postdoc after being awarded a NSF Discovery Corps Fellowship and have managed to stay on as a staff scientist. In my spare time I still think about science, but usually in the kitchen, where I'm focused on my favorite synthesis of chemistry and biology - cooking and eating.

Even though mobile technology often simplifies the completion of everyday tasks, cell phone owners can also encounter technical glitches and unwanted intrusions on their phones. In an April 2012 survey, the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project assessed the prevalence of four problems that cell owners might face.
Some 88% of American adults have cell phones, according to this survey, and, of those cell owners:
Some 79% of cell phone owners say they use text messaging on their cells. We asked them if they got spam or unwanted texts:
Some 55% of cell phone owners say they use their phones to go online— to browse the internet, exchange emails, or download apps. We asked them if they experience slow download speeds that prevent things from loading as quickly as they would like:
Our questions were not intended to measure the incidence of illegal marketing to cell phones. They focused on unwanted intrusions. Still, the telemarketing and spam text findings are noteworthy because legal restrictions apply to both activities under certain circumstances. It is against the law in the U.S. to place unsolicited commercial calls to a mobile phone when the call is made by using an automated random-digit dialing generator or if the caller uses a pre-recorded message.1
In the case of unsolicited texts, commercial parties cannot send spam to cell owners who have placed their mobile device on the National Do Not Call registry. For those who have not chosen to go on that registry, governmental regulations bar text messages sent from internet domain names. Any mobile-to-mobile spam messages are permissible to reach consumers on their cell phones, so long as the text contacts were not generated through an automatic dialing system.2
Smartphone owners report more problems
Smartphone owners reported higher incidence levels of these problems, compared with other cell owners, as shown in the table below.
Non-white cell owners confront all four problems at somewhat higher weekly rates than do their white counterparts. This might be tied to the fact that African-Americans and Hispanics are more likely than whites to rely on their cell phones as their primary or exclusive phones for calling and for internet access.3
For instance, more than half of Hispanic cell internet users (53%) face slow download times at least weekly or more often, compared with 44% of white cell internet users who report this problem. Some 41% of black and 39% of Hispanic cell owners reported dropping calls at least weekly, compared with 30% of white cell owners.

He came back and asked about insurance and that's when I started kicking and punching on -- yelling.
At that point the officer.
Very much more aware immediately called for back.
They pulled the victim out of the car as you can see this video right here kind of surprised he was in there.

And the third suspect said he had no idea that there was somebody in the truck.
-- is a little banged up he's very freaked out but says that he'll be OK the three suspects now facing kidnapping.
And theft charges they'll be in jail for a while.
That's unbelievable story you know I remember seeing an Oprah once they talked about god forbid he ever find yourself in that situation you're in the trunk.
Hoping that maybe somebody will pull you over you know the sort of signal the people that something's going on with your car but wow he's very lucky it ended as it did he kick the back seat kicked back -- -- Any -- -- -- -- did you know get the police's attention.

Former NHL Hockey Players Invest In Whistler Spa
Filed under: Spas
The project has six separate buildings with green roofs and offers a spa experience that starts with a steam bath or sauna before a quick cool off in Nordic waterfalls or a cold bath or shower, a process that is repeated several times. The baths experience costs $55 and there are also packages that include massage.
Damphousse has been involved with GRD since 1999, when he was still actively playing. He was later the National Hockey League Players Association's director of business relations and is on the boards of four different companies.
