Pic remains too lightly entertaining to really overstay its welcome.
Although it feels overlong at 70 minutes, "The Achievers: The Story of the Lebowski Fans" remains too lightly entertaining to really overstay its welcome. Not unlike Roger Nygard's "Trekkies" (1999), which took a similarly nonjudgmental approach while gawking at "Star Trek" fanatics, helmer Eddie Chung's lightweight doc invites auds to laugh with, not at, eager participants at annual conventions devoted to Joel and Ethan Coen's "The Big Lebowski," aptly described here as "the first cult film of the Internet Age." After limited theatrical exposure, "The Achievers" could be a steady-selling DVD and a popular souvenir item at future Lebowski Fests.Doc charts the ongoing phenom back to 2002, when "Founding Dudes" Will Russell and Scott Shuffitt launched the inaugural Lebowski Fest at a bowling alley in their hometown of Louisville, Ky. Pleasantly surprised when 150 showed up to party, they continued to spread the good word through chatrooms and websites, to the point where thousands of like-minded fans now gather annually for trivia competitions, costume contests (in which flashily attired rivals cavort as concepts as well as characters from "The Big Lebowski") and friendship-forging. And, yes, a great deal of bowling. To fully appreciate "The Achievers," it helps to know a lot about "The Big Lebowski," an indescribably weird shaggy-dog comedy starring Jeff Bridges as Jeff "the Dude" Lebowski, a chronically stoned layabout improbably involved with kidnappers, nihilists and really, really competitive bowlers. Bridges comes off as a good sport here when he appears (and sings) at one of the fests, but even he seems nonplussed by the fanaticism of the fans around him: "It's like a weird dream I'm having." Indie film producers' rep Jeff Dowd — the real-life inspiration for the Dude character, and a frequent Lebowski Fest guest — theorizes that the gathering provides affirmation and fellowship for people who might otherwise feel like isolated oddballs. (Another participant kinda-sorta agrees: "Our generation craves ritual — and this scratches an itch.") But USC film prof Peter Exline, whose youthful experiences partly inspired the "Lebowski" script, views the fest in simpler terms: "It's just an excuse for a party. And they sell a lot of T-shirts." The Coen brothers are conspicuous by their absence during "The Achievers," but, judging from the sheer number of clips from "Big Lebowski" on view, it's reasonable to assume they didn't disapprove of the project. On the other hand, while Bridges, John Goodman, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and other "Lebowski" stars obviously approved their inclusion, Sam Elliott's sage cowboy character from the original pic is nowhere to be seen among the excerpts. Tech vales are adequate.

Is it ok to ask for a baby shower on baby #4?
I know this isn't nearly as serious as most of the questions that have been posted but I'm curious to hear other opinions. My husband and I have 3 children; a 51/2 year old son and 2 girls, 4 1/2 and 2 and thought we were done when we were surprised with baby number 4...another boy! We have gotten rid of all our sons things and have nothing for our newest addition. Is it ok to request or suggest a shower?

"Vis - A jewel in the Adriatic Sea" Top 5 Page for this destination Vis by kia81
Vis Travel Guide: 71 reviews and 192 photos
In June 2004 I came back to Vis with my boyfriend after 14 years.
My first time in Vis was in 1990 when I was only 9 years old and it was also my last time in Croatia before the war that started some months later.
Even if I was only a child I ripromised to come back there one day as I was very impressed of the wild beauty of the Island, infact Vis was a military base and was open to tourism in 1989, only one year before my first visit ... I have to admit that the Island has changed a lot from 1990, there are a lot of sailing boats in the small port of Vis, many more restaurants and also some pubs, while before the war it was almost deserted!
Maybe it has lost part of its charm, but it still remains a wonderful island with untouched nature, great beaches and sea and with a particular atmosphere that makes you feel like you are on a secret island and makes you taste a pure sensation of freedom!
- Pros:The most crystal-clear water in the Adriatic
- Cons:Visit Vis now, before too much tourists discover it!
- In a nutshell:Crystal-clear water, great beaches and beautiful villages

One of the most exciting possibilities in stem cell biology is the potential to replace damaged or diseased neural tissues affected by neurodegenerative disorders. Stem-cell-derived neurons provide a potentially limitless supply of replacement cells to repair damaged or diseased neurons. Typically, only one or a very few types of neurons are affected in most neurodegenerative diseases, and simply transplanting stem cells directly into a degenerating or damaged brain will not guarantee that the stem cells will differentiate into the specific neurons types needed. In fact, they may instead cause tumor formation. Thus, we must learn how to guide stem cells, cultured in a laboratory, toward a specific differentiation pathway that will produce neurons of the specified type. These cells would then provide a safe, effective way to treat neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system injuries.
Since there are hundreds or thousands of types of neurons in the cerebral cortex, functionally repairing damaged neurons in the cortex will require a detailed understanding of the mechanisms controlling differentiation, survival, and connectivity of specific neuronal subtypes. In this proposal, I propose to investigate the molecular mechanisms that guide the neural stem cells in developing embryonic brains to generate two specific types of neurons – corticospinal motor neurons (CSMNs) and corticothalamic projection neurons (CTNs).
Our first goal is to understand what regulates the development of CSMNs. CSMNs are clinically important neurons that degenerate in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and are damaged in spinal cord injuries. With our current technology, replacing damaged CSMNs has been impossible, due largely to a lack of understanding of what signals regulate their development. Our second goal is to identify genes that direct the neural stem cells to generate the CTNs. Despite their essential importance in sensory processing and involvement in epilepsy, mechanisms governing the development of CTNs have not yet been revealed. CSMNs and CTNs express many identical genes, and are generated from common neural stem cells in the embryonic brains. Yet it is unclear how they are specified from common stem cells. Our third goal is to identify transcription factor codes that neural stem cells employ to specifically generate either CSMNs or CTNs.
Currently, there is no cure for neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding how CSMNs and CTNs are generated during development provides the opportunity to design procedures to direct the stem cells cultured in a laboratory to specifically produce CSMNs or CTNs, which can then be used to replaced damaged or diseased neurons, such as those affected by ALS, or spinal cord injuries.
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), affect tens of thousands of Californians. There are no cures for these devastating diseases, nor effective treatments that consistently slow or stop them. The research proposed in this application may provide the basis for a novel, cost-effective, cell replacement therapy for ALS, thereby benefiting the State of California and its citizens.
Stem cells offer a potential renewable source of a wide range of cell types that could be used to replace damaged cells involved in neurodegenerative diseases or in spinal cord injuries. At present, transplanting stem cells directly into patients is problematic, because this approach may instead cause tumor growth. To support safe and effective cell transplants, it is important to differentiate stem cells prior to the therapy into the specific cell types affected by the diseases. Understanding how different types of neurons are generated during development provides an opportunity to develop new methods to guide the differentiation of stem cells into the proper neuron types.
In this application, we propose to uncover the mechanisms that regulate the neural stem cells in developing mouse brains to generate different neuronal types in the cerebral cortex, including the corticospinal motor neurons (CSMNs) and the corticothalamic neurons (CTNs). CSMNs are the neurons that degenerate in ALS and are affected in spinal cord injuries. Dysfunction of CTNs has been implicated in epilepsy. Understanding the mechanisms regulating neural stem cells to generate CSMNs and CTNs in vivo will help scientists and physicians to direct stems cells to produce CSMNs or CTNs to replace damaged neurons in patients with neurodegenerative conditions.
In this reporting period, we have been continuing our work to identify genes that regulate neural stem cells to produce different types of neurons in the brain.
In the past grant period, we have identified Tbr1 as the major cell fate-determing gene for the corticothalamic neurons.
In year 4 of the grant period, we continue to explore the molecular mechanisms that regulate neural stem cells to generate various types of cortical projection neurons, in particular the corticospinal motor neurons and the corticothalamic neurons. We have identified a novel transcription factor that regulates neural stem cell differentiation.
During the last grant period, we continue to explore the molecular mechanisms that regulate neural stem cells to generate different types of neurons in the mammalian brains. We have identified a transcription factor that is essential for neural stem cell differentiation, neuronal migration and axon projection.
We have continued our study to identify the molecular mechanisms that regulate cortical neuron fate specification. We have discovered/confirmed that (1) Early cortical progenitors are multipotent, and they give rise to different types of cortical project neurons and glia based on birthdates. There is no evidence of intrinsically lineage-restricted early neural stem cells; (2) expression of Fezf2, a major cell fate determining gene for cortical neurons, is regulated by multiple enhancers and promoters. These enhancers and promotor region have distinct and sometimes overlapping activity; (3) transcription factor Nfib is essential for the differentiation of neural stem cells and required for the cortical neurons to extend corticofugal axons; and (4) splicing factor Tra2b is essential for the survival and differentiation of cortical neural progenitor cells. These results provide novel insights into the development of cortical neurons.

MicroPointing's Miniature Mouse
Lately, there's been a flood of interesting concepts, from touchless control, to gesture control, to foldable displays. Now, check out the micropointer.
Interface Design: Ring-Based Controls – Core77
I love the video production. It feels like it's been lifted directly from Robocop or Demolition Man, very "vision of the future". I kept expecting Cyberdyne Systems or Omni Consumer Products to pop up at the end.
I wonder when these innovations will trickle into products. For the foreseeable future, the innovations seem incremental, i.e. cramming more capabilities like NFC, multiband receivers, faster processors, into an already tiny device. Given the not-very-astounding news that the World Health Organization upgraded cell phones to probably carcinogenic, there's likely to be a movement toward operating devices from a safe distance, which should spur some of these innovations into product.
Although I suppose it will be a challenge to find any way to control a device wirelessly without using some form of wireless.

Random Encounters: The I-Mei Tourist Factory in Taoyuan, Taiwan 3
This past Saturday I made a trip outside Taipei to the Gongyuan Rd. street market in Hutoushan Park, Taoyuan. On the way back I made a quick stop at a local I-Mei factory that also has a play area, restaurant, and a few other tourist-y bits to it.For those unaware, I-Mei is like the Wonder Bread brand of Taiwan. Its an almost-century old Taiwanese baker and desserts maker. They both sell their products within groceries and through their own outlets and its virtually impossible to go to an engagement dinner without returning home with a box of I-Mei cookies and cakes.

Intellectual Property Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer
Looks good, a few concerns.
(1) "Non-Simultaneous"
It would have been better, of course, had you used the term "non-simultaneous" in the written description and defined it. That said, by default, a non-simultaneous event will likely be any event that is not considered simultaneous.
If such is OK then no problem.
(2) "preselected" v "predefined"
I do not know how your written description covers such term so I cannot say for sure in your specific case which is better. That said, I personally prefer "predefined" over "preselected".
Likely not a huge deal but just a preference thing.
(3) "upon detection"
Note the following :
(a) ". . . incrementing one event counter upon an occurrence of NON-SIMULTANEOUS events, and . . . "
now note the following
(b) ". . . incrementing one event counter upon detection of simultaneous events by said electric apparatus. . . . "
note in (a) upon occurrence of non-simultaneous events
(b) upon detection of simultaneous events
Is this correct ? Just seems both need to be "detected" Depends on the written description
(4) "is" v "comprising"
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said preselected event is . . . .
the following is better:
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said preselected event comprises . . . .

Bimmersport yet again
Well, I needed to have my ticking time bomb of a cooling system brought up to date so I asked Charlie if he could hook me up on kinda short notice for today (Saturday). Anyway, he did and now my fear of overheating is no more. Saw a few max members there so time went along pretty fast while we were shootin the shit.
Greek- Nice meeting up with you again man. Hopefully the dude at the exhaust shop came through for ya. I wanted to stick around to see your ride but 24 hours without sleep was catching up on me pretty fast.
Rocco- What can I say man? You have one sexy ass ride!
Marky Mark- Great job with detailing Charlie's X5 man. I know you weren't finished when I left but the paint was looking pretty sweet.
Oh ya, Jon kinda helped out a little I think:D He was too busy talking about his new TURBO CIVIC that's hittin the streets. I believe him and Greekthang have a race set up for sometime this summer. Should be interesting:D
Oops wrong section. Can a mod move this for me.
Yes Big Man. Good seeing you again Richard. You ride looks very sharp. My exhaust came out incredible !! Guy did killer work !!! So the stressing was all worth it. LOL
Sounds incredible and of coarse Johnny and Charlie the boys changing the tranny fluid to Redline eliminated the light flywheel rattle plus some fresh diff fluids helped. Good to go
Marky Mark is detailing my van right now. Damn he does killer work !!! Very meticulous and I must say I am very impressed and he comes highly recommended from me.
I am ready for Blazes Civic. LOL I have a little box of goodies in my back pocket. LOL
turbo power baby...;)
ill spit rice out my exhuast as backfire!
rich your e46 looks sexy with the rims. and george my asian buddy says 'george! that exhaust sounds soooooooooooooooooooo niiiice!"
!! My friend George and Jonny !!
Thanks guys!
It was a fun day. Lots of laughs for sure. We should set up a meet at Bimmersport one Saturday this summer for a show and shine (Turbo Civics welcome):idea:
Technically its 7. I count me as 2 people but Slim Jonny bought the average back to 6. LOL
P.S. Speaking of civics after the cruise I was behind a Vtec civic. guy was all cool with a hot girl. He guns it by mid 3rd I pass laughing at him and slipping her the tongue. He was pissed but what could he do. He had to catch me first. LOL and even then what could he do. LOL
atta boy george. :D
I think a Saturday meet this summer is a really good idea...we'll have to work on that with a bbq. We can have George on the bbq (but that may leave us without any food:D j/k)
LOL 2 for me none for you.
Buddy I'll be the chef. I'll just eat really well in the morning. I am in for sure on a BBQ at your shop buddy
How's the exhaust now that you've had it for a week? I'm only asking because I know how you are. In today out tomorrow lol.
Hey now !!! I'm still a growing boy
It sounds amazing Rich. At certain rpms it sound super loud. I mean more bass then my last one. Sets of alarms like crazy. If you stand behind it at idle the ground vibrates. LOL
But there no droning in the cabin and it sounds incredible at WOT
I think I will keep this one for 2 weeks. LOL

- Dates: May 16 - June 9, 2013
- Website: www.siff.net/festival/index.aspx
Seattle International Film Festival
At three and a half weeks, the Seattle International Film Festival is one of the longest fests in America - and probably the world, though organizers typically host out-of-town guests and filmmakers during a "core week" around the beginning of June. With such a long event, SIFF can afford to screen a wide variety of genres, through organizers have been great about keeping an intimacy to the fest despite its length. Filmmakers and other guests have given indieWIRE very positive feedback from their stay, with the fest offering up nice accommodations, and organizers making sure that everyone is having a good time. Because of its length, and occasional overlaps during the May portion of its dates with Cannes, SIFF may not always draw as large of an industry component, at least in its first half. By the nature of the event, it's more focused on serving its very large and dedicated audience than NY/LA industry. SIFF has become known for a unique Secret Festival sidebar: attendees are not told in advance what films will be screening and must sign an agreement that they will not disclose this information after the screening. The festival also offers year-round programming, including filmmaking events targeted toward youth and others.

Kristin Cavallari Is Pregnant!
January 23, 2012 11:00 AM by Ashley Lee
Have you heard the news? Former Dancing With The Stars contestant Kristin Cavallari of Laguna Beach and The Hills is pregnant! She and fiance Jay Cutler have just announced that they're now expecting. Read on for a few words from the parents-to-be…
"We are thrilled to announce we are expecting our first child together," said Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler to People. "It's an amazing time in our life and we can't wait to meet the new addition to our growing family."
After getting engaged in April, the couple first broke off their engagement last July, and it was rumored that the two split due to Cutler's controlling ways. However, the MTV reality star reunited with the Chicago Bears quarterback this past November. Of the roller coaster relationship throughout 2011, Kristin said, "Sometimes, in order for things to get better, they have to end – even if it's momentarily."
It was also then that the couple announced that the wedding is back on, with Cavallari tweeting, "This time its official..Jay and I are engaged again :)"

I don't know of any guy more unattractive than Jay Cutler and that double chin of his and it will get worse as time goes by. However, Ms Cavallari gets dumped in front of the whole world, so she sets herself a purpose to get him no matter what, so she gets pregnant on purpose to trap the guy. Well Missy, nobody ever got anywhere by trapping anybody to do or to feel anything and trust me,you are going to learn that lesson the hard way… just watch.

Ohio State Wildlife officials say a snowy owl died from starvation.
The bird was found in a ditch in Fayette County last week.
An external examination of the owl indicated there were no injuries to the bird.
State experts say there is has been a large mass southern migration of snowy owls due to the conditions this winter. They have even been spotted as far south as Florida.
The snowy owls eat a variety of small mammals, including mice and rabbits.

During all stages of pregnancy, a women's body is subjected to a lot of changes. Along with the uterus, the cervix is one of the most important organs involved in childbirth and pregnancy. Most doctors check the condition of a woman's cervix before the woman goes into labor. The beginning of labor is indicated by a ripened and soft cervix. While it is common to undergo these changes for many pregnant women, some women will develop a condition known as cervicitis.
So, what could be the possible reasons for such a condition? In the field of medicine, an inflamed cervix indicates a disorder which involves the cervix looking somewhat rough. During the course of pregnancy, the cervix tends to become softer and smoother. Therefore, even a slight irritation can make the cervix bleed profusely. As a result, pregnant women will bleed after any examination of their pelvis or after sexual intercourse. Having an inflamed cervix is risky to the mother, as well as the child. The most probable cause for an inflamed cervix could be due to infection. Women suffering from infections of the bladder, urinary tract, and vagina are more prone to suffer from an inflamed cervix. Diseases transmitted through sex are also a possible cause. Vaginitis or allergy to yeast makes women more vulnerable to this condition.
There are certain activities performed by women which make them more vulnerable to suffering from an inflamed cervix. Women who are frequently douche are prone to bacteria and other microbes which infect the sensitive cervix. Inserting tampons can also trigger inflammation of the cervix. Women who have such habits run the risk of inflamed cervix even before becoming pregnant. But since the cervix is very vulnerable during the early stages of pregnancy, it is easily prone to inflammation. Women with devices fitted into their uterus are also more susceptible to inflammation of cervix.
As it is evident, inflammation of the cervix is caused by multiple reasons. Hence it is important to undergo a series of tests to determine the exact cause of this condition, so that the appropriate treatment is offered to you to counter the problem. It is important for your doctor to take into account your history of illness and history of infections. You will have to undergo tests to identify any abnormal cellular growth. You will also be tested for STD's. Your doctor will prescribe the suitable medicines for treatment after determining the exact cause of the problem. Antibiotics are usually prescribed, however in cases of herpes and HPV, usually anti-virals are administered. STD's can be treated without affecting the health of the embryo.
If you are close to conceiving, your doctor will have to ensure that your baby is protected by your condition. As long as the baby is in the uterus, it is safe from any infection. But during childbirth when the baby has to pass through the birth-canal, it is vulnerable to contracting this disease. Thus, it is important to treat an inflamed cervix as soon as possible to prevent any kind of complications to the mother and child.

In response to RockScully's comment:
You sound like a southern baptist. Not surprising. Gay people don't get the same rights under the law if they aren't allowed to be married.
It's a civil rights issue, dummy.
You seem to be struggling with choices in life.
If you choose to pursue two mutually exclusive things - you have to give up one of them.
For example - if you choose to renounce your citizenship and move to Brazil - you can't also demand the be allowed to run for Mayor of Boston - because Boston doesn't allow citizens of San Paolo to run for Mayor of Boston. (Yes, this is grossly discriminatory and arbitrary. how horrifying!)
Similarly, if you choose to pursue a life of happy gayness - then you have renounced your ability to pursue marriage.
Liberals of course hate having to make choices (liberals are like children in that regard) - so they say well - let's just redefine marriage!
Let's allow Brazilians to become the mayor of Boston!
This is "enlightened thinking" among the psuedo-intellectual class that run Massachusetts and brainwash people from K thru 12.

I am in the process of tweaking a recent installation of ZCS 4.5.6 on CentOS 4.5. After rolling out early last month I encountered numerous issues having to do with sending to domains outside my own. I traced a majority of the issues back to the fact that, since I have running a Zimbra cluster in active/passive mode, even though I receive/listen on the IP address of the cluster, mail is being sent from the active node.
host internal external
mx 10.10.22.10 xxx.xxx.xxx.99
mx1 10.10.22.11 xxx.xxx.xxx.96 (no external DNS name)
mx2 10.10.22.12 xxx.xxx.xxx.97 (no external DNS name)
My MX record points to mx.domain.com and I have rDNS set up to point .96 and .97 back to mx.domain.com.
I have an SPF record for my domain that states:
domain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip:xxx.xxx.xxx.96 ip:xxx.xxx.xxx.97 mx ptr ?all"
mx.domain.com IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
However, despite my best efforts, I still am getting a number of domains that are outright rejecting/refusing my connections or receiving messages like:
"451 4.8.1 possibly forged hostname for xxx.xxx.xxx.96 (in reply to rcpt to command)"
"451 could not complete sender verify callout (in reply to rcpt to command)"
"450 client host rejected: cannot find your hostname. [xxx.xxx.xxx.96](in reply to rcpt to command)"

Resolved Question:
I have frequent urination and only a little urine comes out each time, I have a lot of pressure below my belly button which comes and goes

Hi.A bladder infection is possible in which case you would need an antibiotic to clear it up. Cranberry pills are effective at preventing an infection but are not usually helpful once you have one. So, you will need to go to the doctor for a urine test. But I'm not sure it is an infection.
Another thought that comes to mind if this is not a bladder infection is the possibility of something pressing in the bladder area, like perhaps a fibroid. It is slightly concerning that you have a lot of pressure - like something is stopping you from going. If you drink a lot of water, will you be able to go at some point? If you really can't go and only go a little each time, you may need to be treated for this right away as a build up of urine could be causing the pressure. And if you are retaiing urine you are more prone to get an infection.
So, don't delay. Call your doc now and follow his/her advice.

Hi and welcome to JA.
I have different opinion about your disorder. This urination problem is very common, I myself have it.
Mostly as my fellow expert suggested that if it is not urinary tract infection, in which case you would mostly have high temperature, burning sensation and itching inside the tract etc, then, there are two other probable causes.
One, if your suffering from anxiety/depression, you will normally frequently visit the toilet. In this case you need to treat your anxiety/depression and urinary problem will fix itself.
If anxiety is not a cause, then, hyperactive bladder is the most common reason. In which case the urologist will have to examine you and may carry out a small procedure call "Bladder Stretch" in order to increase the size of bladder so that it can hold more urine.
If bladder stretch is not needed ,then, the doctor may like to put you on medicine called FLOMAX, this is very good medicine and ensure that once you urinate the bladder is completely empty and not even little amount of urine is left to make you feel like going to toilet.
Especially, one capsule before night sleep make sure that you have undisturbed sleep.
Please don't take any medicine before proper consultation with your doctor. And most importantly make an urgent appointment with urologist as unnecessary suffering is not good.
I am confident you can be treated by the medicine.
Hope this helps, if so, please accept. Thank you.

I disagree about the anxiety and hyperactive bladder causing your symptoms. You did not mention having accidents or not making it to the bathroom in time. A hyperactive bladder will fail to store urine properly and you'd have many accidents. On the other hand your bladder seems to be a bit under active.
I think that you do need to get this checked out. Rule out infection and find out why you are having these symptoms.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I've been taking Nexium for 3 months. Do I have to wean off the medication or can I stop suddenly.
How do I Stop Taking (wean off) Nexium?

Do what makes you feel comfortable. I don't see a problem with you stopping the medication suddenly, however you'll know if that doesn't work for you right away. If that's the case, just create yourself a small weaning schedule. It wouldn't have to be anything lengthy.
Keep in mind, if you plan on taking it again any time soon, it may be better just to keep taking it. It is a type of medication that needs to be in your bloodstream on a continual basis to be most effective.
I'd call your local pharmacist with any more questions, they generally don't mind helping with this stuff. That said, I think I just about covered it ;-)
Hope this helps!!

In celebration of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival WXXI-TV/HD presents encore broadcasts of season 3 of its Rochester International Jazz Festival series.
Shot at the Rochester International Jazz Fest in June 2008, WXXI captured the music of jazz great Catherine Russell. The Catherine Russell episode airs at 12 a.m. on Wednesday morning, June 15 on WXXI-TV/HD (DT 21.1/cable 1011 and 11).
Russell was destined to be a jazz and blues singer. Her father, the late Luis Russell was Louis Armstrong's music director, and her mother Carline Ray is an outstanding vocalist and bassist. Ms. Russell graduated with honors from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

She has performed with an array of artists, including: Paul Simon, Steely Dan, David Bowie, Jackson Browne, Rosanne Cash, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne, Michael Feinstein, Madonna, Al Green, J. Geils Band, Dolly Parton, and Isaac Hayes, among others. In addition to performing, Ms. Russell is Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
This program is part of season three of the Rochester International Jazz Festival, in which WXXI captured the essence of one of the most popular and most respected jazz festivals in the country, featuring spectacular performances by some of the hottest musicians and legendary names in jazz.
Shot in breathtaking high-definition, seaon three of the series is comprised of four hour-long episodes recorded in the historic Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music. Each of the first three episodes feature one amazing concert from: jazz and blues singer Catherine Russell, arranger and trombonist Slide Hampton, and jazz trio The Bad Plus. Between concerts, the artists talk candidly about their music. The final episode includes selections from all three performances and provides sights and sounds in and around the nine-day festival.
The 2008 Rochester International Jazz Festival series was produced by WXXI Public Broadcasting and distributed nationally by American Public Television.

ROME (AP) -- A spokeswoman for Luciano Pavarotti says the tenor is expected to be released from the hospital "imminently" after being admitted last week with a fever.
The spokeswoman says Pavarotti is in high spirits and ready to resume recording a new album.
She says doctors have given the tenor the go-ahead to leave the Italian hospital where he has been undergoing tests since last Wednesday.
Pavarotti, who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer last year, was hospitalized in his hometown after a routine examination revealed a high temperature.

Sony Hints at PS4 Announcement for February 20th - NewsAdrian Andrews, posted on 01 February 2013 / 3,446 Views
Yesterday, Sony simultaneously released a Tweet, Blog message and Facebook page that all redirected to the same page, which features nothing more than a short video for the PlayStation Meeting 2013, teasing "the future of PlayStation". Analysts and industry figures immediately suggested that the event, held at 6PM EST on February 20th in New York, will be where the long-awaited PS4 will finally be revealed.
Whether or not that turns out to be true is another matter, though the last time an event like this was held, the PS Vita was revealed. So it naturally follows that we'll hear something on the PS4 come the event. Of course, it could be something else (PS Vita redesign?), but whatever it is, it will be big.
I guess we'll just have to wait 20 days to find out.

My wife has a 06-09(?) Lemond Versailles with a broken derailleur hanger and I was wondering if there are any other sources, other than derailleurhanger.com that might carry what I need. I've emailed Trek, but given the derth of information on their website regarding Lemond bikes, I suspect that Lemond is not one of their happier acquisitions. I've tried to attach a picture of the item and if anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Bay Mills Sex Offender Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 21, 2009
MARQUETTE, MI—Raymond William Shaw, 23, of Brimley, Michigan, a member of the Bay Mills Indian Community, was sentenced on December 21, 2009 to 15 years in federal prison for sexual abuse of a minor, U.S. Attorney Donald A. Davis announced today. In addition to the prison term, Senior U.S. District Judge R. Allan Edgar ordered Shaw to serve a lifetime of supervised release following his release from prison, and to pay a $2,000.00 fine and a $100 special assessment. On September 23, 2009, Shaw pleaded guilty to one count of sexual abuse of a minor. During his plea, Shaw admitted to engaging in a sexual act with a 14-year-old child at a residence located on land held in trust by the United States for the Bay Mills Indian Community.
U.S. Attorney Davis commended the Bay Mills Tribal Police, the Michigan State Police, agents of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their work in this case. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul D. Lochner.

Minwise hashing is a standard technique for efficient set similarity estimation in the context of search. The recent work of b-bit minwise hashing provided a substantial improvement by storing only the lowest b bits of each hashed value. Both minwise hashing and b-bit minwise hashing require an expensive preprocessing step for applying k (e.g., k = 500) permutations on the entire data in order to compute k minimal values as the hashed data. In this paper, we developed a parallelization scheme using GPUs, which reduced the processing time by a factor of 20-80x. Reducing the preprocessing time is highly beneficial in practice, for example, for duplicate web page detection (where minwise hashing is a major step in the crawling pipeline) or for increasing the testing speed of online classifiers (when the test data are not preprocessed).

Bowie's China strollDavid Bowie has been photographed looking healthy on the streets of New York just weeks after undergoing life saving heart surgery.
The rock star looked fit and well as he spoke to fans in the Big Apple, before stocking up on ancient Chinese remedies at a health food shop.
An onlooker said: "David looked great and everyone was wishing him well."
Dressed down in an olive green t-shirt and straw hat, the only indication of his recent heart scare was a band-aid on the inside of his right arm, which was visible as the star wandered through the city's Chinatown district.
The singer has been recuperating at his New York apartment with his wife, supermodel Iman, and their young daughter, Alexandria, since his operation.
Last month, Bowie underwent emergency heart surgery after falling ill on his 'Hurricane' tour.
The 57-year-old star was operated on immediately by doctors in Hamburg, Germany after it was discovered he had an acutely blocked artery.

When I was visiting my parents during Christmastime last winter, I sat down at my dad's desk to use his computer and found a scrap of paper on which he'd scribbled what appeared to be a list of his favorite things.
Hobby: gardening
TV show: Law & Order
Music: classic rock
Life event: Sarah's birth
And so on and so forth.
I don't know whether it was an exercise from a book, a website, or a television show, but my heart melted. I pushed the paper aside, pretending I had not found it.
My dad is a wonderful man and I feel fortunate to have been born into his care. He and I don't have a super intimate relationship, but he is a sensitive, gentle, kind and generous man and father. He is the rock of my family and it has always been a comfort to know that I have his love, support and encouragement.
Last time I saw him, I saw my grandfather's face in his for the first time. As he gets older I am reminded of his mortality and dread the day I'll lose him. If I could go anywhere this weekend I'd go to my parents' house to watch an early Saturday morning Law & Order marathon with my dad. Happy Father's Day.

Famous quotes containing the words model, enhance, business and/or intelligence:
"The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way."
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
"A good education ought to help people to become both more receptive to and more discriminating about the world: seeing, feeling, and understanding more, yet sorting the pertinent from the irrelevant with an ever finer touch, increasingly able to integrate what they see and to make meaning of it in ways that enhance their ability to go on growing."
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
"Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do itby spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life."
—Henry Parkes (18151896)
"Technology represents intelligence systematically applied to the problem of the body. It functions to amplify and surpass the organic limits of the body; it compensates for the bodys fragility and vulnerability ..."
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

Marines turn the tide in the 'Fallujah of Afghanistan'
3rd Battalion, 5th Marines battle for Sangin
The latest security agreement did not live up to its promise, since attacks continued in Alikozai areas. But a steep drop in enemy activity allowed Marine engineers to finish grading and graveling Route 611 in March up to the Kajaki district border, Marine commanders said.
Rebuilding the road was central to the Marine strategy of "big stick COIN," in Sangin — counterinsurgency operations that rely on both the carrot of development and the stick of combat power, said Lt. Col. Thomas West, a civil affairs Marine from Anaheim Hills.
"Securing that 611 route and taking it away from the Taliban is opening a huge avenue of stability," said West, who was part of a companion surge of governance and development experts sent to Sangin. "It makes a vital economic corridor that the people here depend on."
Capt. Abdul Hamid, 29, an Afghan army commander who has been stationed in Sangin for a year and a half, said that enemy flags and bombs used to surround the international coalition's patrol bases. "Now, with the Marines' help, some of the Taliban have turned in their weapons, and the people feel free to come and tell us about the IEDs. Now they know the government is dominant here."
What's next
The true test of whether the security gains the 3/5 Marines wrought in Sangin can be sustained will come this summer, after the poppy is harvested and the traditional fighting season is in full swing. Before their replacements took over in April — the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, also from Camp Pendleton — small groups of fighters had begun to infiltrate Sangin, causing an uptick in harassing shooting attacks.
Many Sangin residents say they are weary of war. Toward the end of their tour, so were many Marines. The glamour had worn off for many gung-ho infantrymen stationed in Sangin, who declared the boring patrols to be the best.
"We've done what we came out here to do. This place is a lot more stable now," said Sgt. Ivan Teran, 24. "You're not going to hear any of these guys saying 'yeah, let's get some!' … They've experienced just about as much as you can experience being a grunt in the Marine Corps."
The Darkhorse Marines fought on after seeing their best friends ripped limb from limb, over and over again — five times in the case of one lance corporal this reporter spoke to. The courage of this generation of Marines in the face of such an insidious weapon, "a weapon designed to maim, a weapon designed to have psychological impact by inflicting grotesque casualties," made a deep impression on Maj. Gen. Richard Mills, the senior Marine and NATO commander of southwestern Afghanistan for the last year.
"I'm just awed by their ability every day to disregard the danger and face the enemy," knowing what each step could cost them, Mills said.
Back in San Diego, medical staff assembled a multipart plan to help the Marines and their families with the transition home.
Sangin changed them, the Marines conceded. They wouldn't be human otherwise. But Stocking, the 27-year-old platoon sergeant serving his fourth combat tour, said he was not worried about their mental state. "Once everyone gets home they're going to realize that the sky is so much bluer, the air breathes so much better," he said.
"Guys that have been in this type of situation … they realize how good life really is."

Where are things at the moment with the long-gestating film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's classic DC/Vertigo comic series "Sandman" at Warner Bros. Pictures?
At last report, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt was developing the property as a potential starring and directing vehicle. Now, Gaiman himself has spoken about where the project stands at a recent festival appearance (via CBM:
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt, of all people, is an enormous 'Sandman' fan. He and David Goyer talked about it, they've come up, I believe, with a treatment of what they want the story of the first movie to be.
They are talking to an incredible writer [Jack Thorne], who I coincidentally already knew, because he did the movie script for 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane,' so I've met him and loved his treatment of my work. And Wednesday afternoon I will be spending with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and talking 'Sandman'! That's pretty much everything I know. Now you know as much as I know."
Gaiman has previously expressed displeasure with scripts that Warners had done based on the comic, saying he'd rather see no "Sandman" film than a bad one.

Even if you are on to bigger and better things now, how do you rid yourself of the old, bad baggage of your last job? You don't want to walk into a new job still thinking about the past.
Vicki Salemi's article on ForbesWoman offers some tips on how to detox from your old job, and compares the experience to detoxing from a failed relationship. While you may not have been dating your company, the experience is similar: you had a working relationship with that employer, it didn't work out for either of you, and now it's time to let go and move on.
When I made the decision to leave my last job, the one I had before graduate school, I had a lot of trouble mentally letting go. I wondered if I made the right decision, and I beat myself up for not having reached my full potential in that environment. This is why Salemi's third piece of advice, "Be Kind to Yourself," is so important:
Give yourself time to think through and recover from your old job, and don't be afraid to vent to supportive friends, talk to an old boss or mentor, or even consult a therapist to navigate the murky residue."
Telling yourself to not think about your worries or fears, as we all know, is useless. The thoughts are there and they are hard to ignore. So let yourself just get it out — to family, to friends, to a therapist. But as I learned, don't go back and analyze what could have been. Instead, take what you didn't like about that last job to help you find out what you really want out of your next work experience.
In moving on from any failed relationship, it can help to remember some of the positives. We all have a tendency to look back and blame ourselves: "Why did I ignore all the signs and stick around as long as I did?" Well, chances are there was something good about that experience:
There have to be at least one or two good things about your old company, right? Try to remember and focus on something you learned and enjoyed–like honing skills for a specific computer program, forging friendships with one or two amazing people, or even just having a prestigious place to put on your resume."
Think about what you learned on your last job that can help you in your next one. Maybe you learned a new program or technical skill. Maybe you learned how to better deal with difficult coworkers or a disorganized boss. Regardless of how bad it was, you learned something from the experience that has made you wiser today.
Whether you are in the process of leaving a job or have already left, remind yourself that it is much, much better to find the job that's right for you. There is a job out there that can give you the kind of experience you want. And above all, don't be embarrassed or upset about the fact that it didn't work out. Instead, be proud of yourself for having the courage to leave and move on to your next great adventure.
