This article provides recent statewide information, including the locations of release and the number of captures by anglers, regarding tagged and hatchery-reared red drum.
A young angler holds an externally tagged hatchery red drum.
Summary of Red Drum Tag-Returns by AnglersHatchery red drum that have grown to a length of 7 inches or more may be marked with a variety of externally visible streamer tags. These tags can be seen protruding from the back near the dorsal fin or the belly behind the left pectoral fin. External tags allow recreational anglers to identify a hatchery red drum. Each tag has a unique fish identification number and a toll-free Tag Return Hotline phone number imprinted on the streamer. The belly streamer tag has a flat base plate that anchors the tag through the body wall and is imprinted with the same information as the streamer. Anglers capturing tagged red drum can report tag information to stock enhancement scientists. The table below shows the number of externally marked fish, the locations of release, and the number of captures reported by anglers.
RELEASE AND CAPTURE INFORMATION FOR HATCHERY RED DRUM(longer than 7 inches at release)Current through 12/23/04
Location of Release
Release Number
Caught and Reported
Percent Caught
Biscayne Bay
North Indian River Lagoon
St. Lucie (South IRL)
Volusia County
Tampa Bay
Hatchery Red Drum RecordsThe largest hatchery-produced red drum caught by an angler was 45 inches long. It was only 7 inches long when released. The hatchery red drum record for the longest time in the wild before being caught is 2,183 days (approximately 6 years). The greatest distance traveled by a hatchery fish after release is 220 miles. This fish was released in Card Sound (south of Biscayne Bay) and reported caught by the Eau Gallie Causeway in Brevard County.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission stock enhancement scientists give a special thanks to all the anglers who have assisted in our effort to replenish Florida red drum stocks.

After years of debating the pros and cons of welfare, Congress and the president finally changed how we provide relief to the needy. The 1996 Welfare Reform Act limits public assistance and makes it conditional on seeking work.
States now have broad flexibility in how they spend welfare dollars. While some states have reacted cautiously, others have taken bold, sometimes surprising, steps. Wisconsin has all but ended cash aid. Mississippi and other traditionally conservative states are implementing advanced day care programs.
Whether it's due to the strong economy or welfare reform, one thing is inescapable -- more than 1.4 million people have dropped from the rolls since welfare's peak in 1994. And the public seems to approve. As The Economist pointed out: "A hated program that gave government a bad name has been turned into a popular success that enhances government's reputation." A study issued by the University of Michigan seems to confirm that assesment, stating that the number of Americans who trust government is beginning to rise once again, albeit slowly.
Unfortunately, that trust may become tarnished once again if the federal government carries through with its bureaucratic approach to enforcing compliance with eligibility limits through interstate tracking.
Most states believe intrastate tracking is the real issue. Nevertheless, the federal government is focusing attention on welfare participants who cross state lines.
When Congress passed welfare reform, it asked the Department of Health and Human Services to prepare a report on the status of states' information systems for managing welfare programs. That 200-page report -- "Report to Congress on Data Processing and Case Tracking in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program" -- was issued quietly last December.
Not surprisingly, the report says that many of the existing state systems are old, and revamping their software programs to meet the demands of welfare reform will be complex and costly. As for interstate tracking, the report determined that no single computer architecture was the best solution, so it proposed five options.
Terrance Maxwell, executive director of the New York State Forum for Information Resource Management, pointed out that four of the options involve a centralized database of some kind. In these four cases, data about individuals would be transmitted by the states to the database so that other states could run queries and match files. The difference between the centralized options comes down to the level of data retention, response time, level of functionality and costs.
The report is quick to point out that HHS does not assume that the centralized options would be a "federal system," and it emphasizes decisions regarding the development, access to and location of a "national" system should rest with the federal and state governments jointly. However, the report does not dismiss the notion of federal responsibility for the system.
The fifth option, called "broadcasting," would support interstate communication of data through message formats and communication protocols. States could selectively query the records of neighboring states, for example, from which border-crossing applicants are more likely to come. Technologically, broadcasting is simple. It requires no centralized database, needs little centralized administration, and costs are comparatively low. However, HHS ruled out this option, stating that broadcasting would result in a significant workload for all states. That's true, according to Maxwell, but other components of welfare reform, such as data gathering, will also be hard on the states. With broadcasting, states could support the requirements of interstate tracking using their own databases, without having to support a massive national database.
For welfare reform to work, it must be driven by results, not processes. States need to know why some people are successfully finding jobs and keeping them and why others are

Former Hawkeye Head Coach James Grant passed away in July after a two-year battle with cancer.
Sept. 21, 2007
IOWA CITY, IA -In collegiate athletics, teams must annually rebuild to recover from losses due to graduation. The 2007-08 University of Iowa women's track and cross country teams will have that yearly hurdle to clear, as well as a more significant one - the loss of longtime Head Coach James Grant.
Grant passed away in July at the age of 60 after a two-year battle with cancer. He, and his staff, had the Hawkeyes moving in the right direction. During his 11-year tenure, the Hawkeyes crowned one NCAA champion, 15 all-Americans, 26 Big Ten champions, three NCAA Midwest regional champions, 28 all-region honorees and 81 regional qualifiers, and set 30 school records. Also, during that time, 61 Hawkeyes earned 111 academic all-Big Ten honors. As a team, Iowa placed third at the 2004 Big Ten Indoor Championships in Iowa City, which tied the team's highest conference finish in school history.
Head Women's Cross Country Coach Layne Anderson was named Interim Head Women's Track Coach in August. He and Assistant Coach Victor Houston will take Grant's charge to keep the Hawkeyes moving toward the top.
"This has been a difficult time for Iowa Athletics with the passing of Coach Grant," said Anderson. "He provided great leadership for our track and cross country programs and for student-athletes over the past 21 years. I am humbled, at this time, to be named the interim head coach and look forward to working with our administration as we plan for the future."
A strong group of successful seniors return for the 2007-08 seasons. Sprinter Kineke Alexander, distance runners Meghan Armstrong, Racheal Marchand and Diane Nukuri and multi-event competitor Tammilee Kerr have posted outstanding individual performances in the past and look to add to their list of accomplishments in their final seasons at Iowa.
Alexander won a 2006 NCAA indoor title and is the only Hawkeye in school history to earn six all-America honors in the same event (400 meters). The five-time Big Ten champion holds five Hawkeye school records and is Iowa's only two-time NCAA Midwest regional champion. In 2007, she was named Athlete of the Year and Athlete of the Championships at the Big Ten indoor meet. Armstrong is a two-tme all-American and four-time all-region selection. Marchand earned all-America honors in cross country last season and is a two-time all-region honoree. Nukuri, the 2006 NCAA Midwest Regional Cross Country Champion, earned two all-America honors and two all-region honors in her first season at Iowa. She set three school and one facility record in cross country. Kerr set the school heptathlon record in 2007 and became one of the first Hawkeyes in recent history to qualify for the NCAA championships in that event.
Those five, as well as several other underclassmen and newcomers will have to be at their best to help fill the spaces left by three graduated seniors. Gone are Peaches Roach, Tiffany Johnson and Becca Franklin. Roach was a four-time all-American in the high jump and the only Hawkeye in school history to win five Big Ten titles in one event. She and Johnson set the school record for most times qualified to the regional meet (10), and were regular competitors on sprint relays. Johnson became the first Hawkeye in school history to win consecutive Drake Relay titles, winning the 100-meter hurdles in 2006 and 2007. The trio also hold seven school records.
"Tiffany, Peaches and Becca made contributions to this program which helped us reach our current level," explained Anderson. "They will be missed, but it is up to the experienced upperclassmen to step up and show the newcomers that everyone has the potential to improve our team finishes, in both cross country and track."
Alexander is the most accomplished returnee, and Coach Anderson is hoping she will go out with a bang. Hampered by leg injuries most of the 2007 outdoor track season, she only ran the 400 meters at the Big Ten, NCAA regional and NCAA Championships.
"The plan is to help Kineke stay as healthy as possible the entire year so we can see exactly what she is capable of," he explained. "She is a catalyst for the rest of our squad. If she is doing well, her abilities seem to pick everyone else up and inspire their performances."
Her success in the 200, 400 and 600 has been well-documented, but Alexander has also been a solid part of Iowa's 1,600-meter relays - running on five of the top 10 in school history.
Sophomores Rhonda-Kaye Trusty, Kara-Aretha Graham and Sophia Poncé got a year of experience in the sprints last season. Junior Renee White has also competed in the sprints and relays. Trusty led Iowa in the outdoor 200 meters (24.23) and ran the second-fastest 60 (7.63) and 100-meter times (12.04). Poncé led the team in the indoor 600 yards (1:24.55), outdoor 800 meters (2:10.35) and ran on the team-leading 1,600-meter and distance medley relays indoors and sprint and distance medley relays outdoors. Graham will run the 200 and 400 meters as the coaches look to transition her into longer races.
Newcomers Karessa Farley (Bridgetown, Barbados), Lisa Mellecker (Iowa City, IA), Kelsey Mims (Iowa City, IA), Abbie Mumpower (Quincy, IL) and Kimberly Stanford (St. Michael Barbados) will be expected to provide immediate depth in the short sprints and relays, while Bethany Praska (Longmont, CO) will compete in the longer sprints and relays.
The departed Johnson led the Hawkeyes in the 60 and 100-meter hurdles the past four years and holds the school records in those events. Graduated senior Aditya Jones also led the Hawkeyes in the 400-meter hurdles the past two years. Kerr, Mumpower and freshman Tiffany Hendricks (Burlington, IA) will have to step in and compete immediately.
Sophomore Krista Anderson, redshirt freshman Jolly Burke and freshmen twins Amanda and Lauren Hardesty (Valparaiso, IN) will also be asked to contribute.
Seniors Molly Esche, Christine Kotarba and Jessica Schmidt, juniors Brittany Graham and Rachel Hawks, sophomore Katie Ellis and newcomers Kathryn Guess (Des Moines, IA) and Caitlin Wooldridge (Fox River Grove, IL) will provide depth in the longer distances.
Senior Monica Mims, Poncé, junior Jennie Docherty and sophomore Kelsey Stueland make up the middle distance corps. Praska may also contribute here as the season progresses.
Roach and Johnson were consistent stars in the horizontal and vertical jumps, and while they will be missed, White and sophomore Caleigh Bacchus will fill in the gaps. White set school triple jump records last season (41-5 3/4 indoor, 42-1 1/2 outdoor) and led the team in the outdoor long jump (42-1 1/2). She became the first Hawkeye to jump over 42 feet in the triple jump. Newcomers Farley and Hendricks will provide depth.
Kerr returns after setting the school heptathlon record and qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Mumpower will also compete in the multi-events.
Cross Country
The combination of individual strength, talented depth and outstanding newcomers gives the 2007 cross country team potential for great success.
The squad made a major step in that direction in 2006, qualifying for the NCAA Championships, as a team, for the first time in 14 years and posting its highest Big Ten finish (sixth) since 1993. The Hawkeyes also recorded their highest finish at the NCAA Midwest regional meet (third) under Anderson. The team has improved its finish at the Big Ten and regional meets each of the last four years, and has set school records in the 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 meters.
Armstrong, Marchand and Nukuri led the Hawkeyes in 2006. Nukuri and Marchand earned all-America honors, making Iowa one of nine schools to crown two all-Americans. Nukuri was named Midwest Region Runner of the Year when she captured the regional meet title. All three earned spots on the all-region team, while Armstrong and Marchand earned all-Big Ten honors. Nukuri set school records in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters, while she and Armstrong shared the 6,000-meter mark.
Burke, Anderson, Schmidt, Esche and Ellis all return with experience and the ability to battle for one of the lineup spots. Returnees Docherty, Ellis, Graham, Hawks and Kotarba will look to break into the lineup.
The Hardesty twins lead the newcomers and could make an immediate impact. Guess and Wooldridge will provide depth.

Piers Morgan to End CNN Show
Piers Morgan plans to end his prime-time show on CNN, he told New York Times media columnist David Carr in an article published Sunday night. Piers Morgan Live has performed poorly in the ratings, facing some of the same difficulties as its predecessor, Larry King Live, in addition to Morgan's difficulty connecting with an American audience. "I'm a British guy debating American cultural issues," Morgan told Carr, referencing a recent incident in which he was criticized for calling a gun advocate "unbelievably stupid." Morgan said the show has "run its course" and that he and CNN chief Jeff Zucker have discussed ending it.

I have a simple HTTPModule which does some custom session state management.
public void Init(HttpApplication context)
context.AcquireRequestState += new EventHandler(ProcessBeginRequest);
ActivityLogger.LogInfo( DateTime.UtcNow.ToLongTimeString() + " In Init " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);
public void ProcessBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
HttpApplication application = sender as HttpApplication;
ActivityLogger.LogInfo(DateTime.UtcNow.ToLongTimeString() + " In ProcessBeginRequest ");
if (application != null)
string requestURL = application.Context.Request.Url.ToString();
ActivityLogger.LogInfo(DateTime.UtcNow.ToLongTimeString() + " In ProcessBeginRequest " + requestURL);
When I ran this code with breakpoints, I saw that this module got invoked even for static files like images,js and css. Has anyone experienced this ? I am thinking HTTP modules were only hooking on to events in the http pipeline for asp.net pages . Do they also hook on to static resources ? Or is it just with cassini ?
Environment: VS2008 - cassini server
PS: I did try it with Win2k8 IIS7 in our sandbox (kinda new), and tried to write it to a log file (as we do not have VS there),but could not write to the log file. Am sure its some write permissions issue. Can anyone point me to some resource which tells me how to set write permissions for directories when running ASP.net with IIS7 in W2k8
Edit1: I understand that using Integrated pipeline would extend the http pipelines for static and managed resources alike http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/122408-1.aspx and http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/243/aspnet-integration-with-iis7/
We are using classic pipeline in our prod. But still interested in knowing what other people have experienced.
Question2: Using IIS7 in integrated mode, will it decrease performance ? Say you have couple of modules hooking up with the pipeline, how much would be the performance impact? Would be nice if some one can point me to some baseline studies done for this.

San Francisco 49ers news, rumors and injuries
49ers | Blake Bell could take step forward
Mon, 30 May 2016 03:32:19 -0700
San Francisco 49ers TE Blake Bell could see a leap in production in his second season thanks to the emphasis head coach Chip Kelly's offense places on tight ends catching the ball.

49ers | Bruce Ellington could thrive in slot
Mon, 30 May 2016 03:27:21 -0700
San Francisco 49ers WR Bruce Ellington will have a chance to play in the slot in 2016, and Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews caught 16 touchdowns working mainly from the slot in the two seasons with Chip Kelly as his head coach.
Fantasy Tip: Ellington still has to secure a starting role, but he has the speed to be a problem in open space. Kellys system has made fantasy starts out of unheralded players in the past, so Ellington could be a useful addition in the later rounds, particularly in PPR leagues.

Wed, 18 May 2016 15:27:36 -0700
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter (knee) has been practicing without restrictions this offseason.
Fantasy Tip: Smelter has a chance to make in impact for the 49ers in what is a relatively shallow wide receiver corps. For now, though, he can be left on waivers in traditional leagues.

49ers | Anquan Boldin not contacted by 49ers
Wed, 18 May 2016 15:17:01 -0700
Free-agent WR Anquan Boldin (49ers) has not been contacted by San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly since early February.
Fantasy Tip: It's apparent that San Francisco is content with the wide receivers they have, with Torrey Smith and Quinton Patton being the most promising of the bunch. Boldin could still rejoin the 49ers before the season starts, but it seems unlikely at this point. Smith and Patton should be viewed as a speculative WR3 and WR5, respectively. As for Boldin, he would be worth a low-end WR3 to high-end WR4 if he comes back to the 49ers.

49ers | New duties for Bruce Miller
Tue, 17 May 2016 17:09:36 -0700
San Francisco 49ers FB Bruce Miller has switched exclusively to tight end this offseason after running backs coach Tom Rathman informed Miller that he no longer had room for another back.
Fantasy Tip: Miller gives the 49ers versatility as he can play running back, fullback and tight end, but it looks like he'll primarily be in the tight end role this season. Garrett Celek and Vance McDonald at least should play ahead of Miller at tight end as long as they are healthy, so Miller's fantasy value is minimal right now.

49ers | Colin Kaepernick not falling behind
Tue, 17 May 2016 12:35:35 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (shoulder, thumb, knee) is not falling behind QB Blaine Gabbert despite still rehabilitating his injuries, according to head coach Chip Kelly. "[Kaepernick] has a great grasp of what we're doing," Kelly said. "I'm really impressed by both [Gabbert] and him and their intelligence and being able to pick up what we're trying to do." Kelly said he hasn't set a timetable for when the starter will be announced.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick is still the most attractive fantasy option, but he may not start, obviously. Gabbert has disappointed throughout his career, but he'll have more intrigue in Kelly's offense. Neither are worthy of QB1 consideration, though.

49ers | Colin Kaepernick working hard
Tue, 17 May 2016 10:02:12 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (shoulder) has made a good first impression with his work ethic to the new coaching staff, despite asking for a trade earlier in the offseason. He could wind up starting in Week 1. "Works his butt off in rehab, great with the coaches, learning the offense quickly, I like him a lot," one coach said.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick's fantasy value is the lowest it has been since he took over as starter a few seasons ago. He still has a cannon, and the fast-paced offense Chip Kelly brings could benefit him in getting the ball out. The weapons around him are still pretty questionable, and he's a midrange QB2 seeking a revival.

49ers | San Fran defense to be aggressive
Mon, 16 May 2016 10:48:35 -0700
San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly said defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil's defense will be aggressive and will get after the quarterback. Kelly also said the defense will rely more on man-to-man schemes from the back-end of the defense. "We're going to get after the quarterback," Kelly said. "It's a quarterback-driven league and you have to disrupt the timing of the quarterback or you're going to get picked apart."

49ers | Chip Kelly impressed with Blaine Gabbert
Mon, 16 May 2016 10:38:15 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Blaine Gabbert has impressed new head coach Chip Kelly with his athleticism in offseason workouts. "He's extremely athletic," Kelly began. "It's interesting, the three of them, if you look at Driskel, Blaine and Kap, they're all 6-4 plus, and all can run. All of them are at 4.6 (seconds in the 40-yard dash) or under 4.6, which is kind of rare to have three guys that can do the same thing. It's beneficial to you."
Fantasy Tip: Gabbert had flashes last year where he impressed as San Fran's starting quarterback. However, if he's healthy, Colin Kaepernick is fully expected to be the starting signal caller in 2016, leaving Gabbert as the primary backup or injury replacement. Gabbert's ceiling is a high-end backup if he's starting regularly.

49ers | Carlos Hyde praised by head coach
Mon, 16 May 2016 10:36:44 -0700
San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde was praised by new head coach Chip Kelly recently. "Carlos is a stud. He's been full-go since we started in the beginning of April," Kelly said. "Participated in everything. And he's as advertised. To have someone that size that is that agile, has that vision, it's really impressive to see him work every day. There have been no restrictions on him at all. He's full clear, 100 percent, and he's going. He's really good, we're really excited about him."
Fantasy Tip: Hyde is the clear-cut No. 1 running back in San Fran in Kelly's high-paced offense, and he should be a great fit for Kelly's stretch run plays. As long as Hyde is fully healthy, he should receive a healthy workload and has RB1 upside in 2016.

Sir.—I read with interest the editorials by Cherry1 in the March 23/301990 issue of JAMA and by Fulginiti2 in the August 1990 issue of AJDC and am concerned about an issue neither physician addressed, namely, the handouts from the Centers for Disease Control that pediatricians have been strongly encouraged to give to our patients. These handouts hardly help to dispel the myth of the connection between diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus vaccine and encephalopathy.
These pamphlets not only tell parents that there is a connection, but give the approximate odds of encephalitis and permanent brain damage occurring. We have distributed these pamphlets not only to protect ourselves from the liability of failing to properly inform parents, but also to educate them about these possible problems associated with the vaccine. Now we are told the problem is all a myth. Thus, we are handing out pamphlets with misinformation. Should we continue to distribute

THIS IS A BOX OF ESSENTIAL ROCK & ROLL HISTORY: The first three studio albums by the Velvet Underground; a definitive edition of the recordings for the band's fourth, unfinished LP for MGM and the sublime, first solo album by Nico, released after the charismatic singer's brief spell in the group but made with the vital empathic aid of its leading men.
This is also a box of magic, the sight and sound of revolution as it arrived, at bold and perilous speed. No group embodied challenge and transgression in the mid- and late Sixties like the Velvet Underground. Few bands of any time have altered rock's future so decisively, at such a high price. Born in New York, into a true underground of art, film and social deviance, the Velvets were ignored, misunderstood, even savaged in their time. None of the four official releases in this set made it into Billboard's Top 100.
But, as Reed pointed out years later, "Rock does this thing to you—you get directly to somebody, unfiltered." The most important thing, he insisted, "was the records going out, going to people." This is how it happened, on long-playing vinyl, with striking, unprecedented cover art, between 1967 and 1969. —DAVID FRICKE
Eric Schou, Sundazed art director
One of the most important aspects of The Velvet Underground and Nico (besides the music of course!) is the "peelable" banana sticker on the cover. The sticker cemented the cover as one of the most, if not the most, iconic of all time.
The release of The Velvet Underground and Nico was famously delayed back in 1967 in order to make special equipment for precisely-applying an 11" tall sticker on this unorthodox and ambitious album jacket. Now in 2012 we have left the banana "peeled" to give you the option of putting the skin back on or leaving it off. . . just don't smoke it!
It was a thrill and an honor to faithfully recreate this historic release and I hope you have fun with it.
Before you ask...
Before you ask… the reason there are Verve labels on all of these albums is that Universal Music could not extend us the rights to use the MGM / "Lion Head" logo on any of these releases.
Jon Hunt, desinger 1969 LP jacket and box set cover
"I've always loved not just the sound but the *look* of the Velvet Underground's Verve/MGM albums — the black and white artwork and the gorgeous typography on White Light, White Heat and the self-titled LP became absolutely iconic in the world of rock, influencing hundreds of like-minded musicians and designers over the years. So when the time came to pay tribute to the Verve/MGM house designers by designing a cover for 1969 that could have existed back in the day, I jumped at it — who wouldn't want to add their stamp to the legacy of one of the greatest band "brands" in the history of rock? My driving motivation was simply "what would the house designers have done?" I researched dozens of Verve LPs from the same year to get a sense of the flavor of their evolving typography and sense of color."
"For the box lid, I wanted to create not just a simple cover, but an artefact that looked like it could have existed for many years. I thought to myself "what would have housed these albums back in the 60s?" I turned to the look of the classic "platter-pak" record cases, creating a fictitious Velvets-branded one that could have come out as a record company promo in a fictitious world where the Velvets were in every teenager's bedroom, as it should have been. This project was an absolute dream — I've idolized the Velvets since I started listening to rock back in high school, and I am honored to have worked with Sundazed Music on this iconic box set. "

Review by Hi-Fi World
The Velvet Underground were a challenge to the convention. They were children of the underground, pushing their rock music further than anything available in the commercial sphere while their lyrics intruded upon a host of taboos. There was certain propriety within American society, a decency and decorum that the members of Velvet Underground felt was ripe for attack. White Light/White Heat was just that, a completely unrestrained assault on a conservative, aesthetic politeness that the band felt was suffocating art in general.
The album was raw, featuring Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker that saw the band at their most harsh and coarse. Those taboos? Well they are tackled from the off with the title track. Drugs are talked about with great relish – amphetamines, specifically. 'Sister Ray' is an unholy noise fest that crams in seventeen minutes of sex, more drugs and violence. In between, you get the splintered guitar streaks of Lou Reed within 'I Heard Her Call My Name' and distorted R&B in the name of 'The Gift' plus other inaccessible maulings that lift the overall album to one of frenzy and turmoil.
As John Cale stated in a recent interview, "Distortion was something we were very interested in. In that day it was tube distortion and you had a variety of things you could do. We had far more opportunities with the Velvets to use that stuff. It was really a musical attempt to take those words and make them more novelistic. There were a few overdubs. Backing vocals. That's what [producer] Tom Wilson managed to bring to it: we isolated the voices.
We didn't really know what he was doing. Everything just sounded so much better and we were very excited. White Light/White Heat was done at Atlantic. Gary Kellgren was the engineer. He and Tom had to deal with a fairly disorganized unit at that point – we were all at each other's throats. We didn't have time and we didn't care, we hadn't rehearsed anything. He still managed to get some good things, like the backup harmonies on 'I Heard Her Call My Name'. I remember those, when he played them back. He nodded sagely and said, 'Yes, you sound very commercial'. We were 'Woah'. The first album was a year of slog, every weekend and the second one was just kind of slapdash".
This superb album is one of five that is featured within a new box set that has just been released via the American audiophile record label, Sundazed. Undoubtedly, it is a fine achievement from the company that serves the Velvet Underground and general music fans in many ways.
Firstly, most people will never have even seen, never mind played, an original Velvet Underground album. Most will have only have heard Velvet Underground's music on download or CD or via a host of dubious vinyl reissues. With The Velvet Underground: The Verve/MGM Albums, you not only get the rare mono version of all three of the band's commercial albums, you also get the mono version – surely the best version too – of 'Nico: Chelsea Girl'. That, in itself, is more than enough reason to buy this box set. But, that's not all. You also get Sundazed's idea of what the band's unfinished 'lost' fourth album, 1969, should sound like, sourced from the original Verve/MGM analogue masters (as are they all, for that matter) and engineered by Sundazed supremo, Bob Irwin.
Incidentally, for Velvet Underground virgins, Nico was supermodel, friend and lover to a host of important creative and cultural figures, band collaborator and occasional lead singer for The Velvet Underground. She also had a distinctive and inventive solo career. Chelsea Girl featured both John Cale and Lou Reed alongside singer/songwriter, Jackson Browne. Complete with the original LP artwork along with two bonus poster inserts and a sticker, this box set is the must-have collection for any fan of The Velvet Underground.
In terms of sound, there is far more going on in the midrange than has ever been revealed before. Frankly, they leave any CD issue standing and they blow an older 4 Men With Beards vinyl release to the four winds. In addition, the new pressings are quiet, which helps to enhance the midrange detail. The principle factors are air and space over the entire soundstage combined with a definite punch. Undoubtedly, the Sundazed version is the best offering on the market today, no matter what format you might care to name. PR, Hi-Fi World, April 2013: www.hi-fiworld.co.uk

"I am excited to share my vision for a brighter America, and the life experiences that have helped shape those positions," Santorum said.
Hillsdale senior Elliot Gaiser, who will moderate the symposium, shared his thoughts about the event and its goals.
"My hope is this will shine a bright light on what candidates believe about the Constitution, and influence the presidential race to focus on the document we expect our next president to protect and defend," Gaiser said.
The three other presidential candidates have not confirmed nor denied their participation. Nevertheless, Hillsdale College plans to make history next week with this event.

If you are vacationing or just stopping through Luxembourg, then we highly suggest you stop by and visit the boutique Capsule. We caught up with owner Estelle Sidoni to talk all things fashion & more about one of our favorite shopping destinations.
S2A: So what is the concept behind the store Capsule?
ES: Capsule is a direct reference to the so-called "capsule" collections that we see flourish more and more from designers. They are synonymous with designers current collection at an affordable price with a feeling of exclusivity to the public. We used this concept when we select brands for our store and how they are merchandised. Luxembourg is a small town. While there are many famous & luxurious brands, there is little room for small, lesser known talents. This is what we are trying to bring to the city.
Capsule is an unlikely cocktail of tastes that may appeal to the 40 year old woman, the bushel of the 20 somethings and your groups of friends … I wanted to show the eclecticism in the spirit of brands, the variety, and also their prices: there are dresses at € 30 but also dresses € 300 …
S2A: What are the three thoughts that come to mind when you hear the name "Surface To Air"?
Capsule: Dark, a wooden house in middle America, a "nightcall" cigarette……
S2A: What is the most interesting aspect of Surface To Air in your opinion?
Surface to Air are really the giants when it comes to graphic design in their textiles like in their way of visual communication. They are really personal and I think certainly due to the stories told in the discovery of the collection but I find that each Surface To Air collection is multi-faceted in the way they are executed.
S2A: What is your favorite piece in the SS12 collection?
CAPSULE: I love the Tribune Tee (I am sucker for great t-shirts as I wear them all the time) as well as all the printed pieces.
S2A: What is your favorite place to go out in Luxembourg at the moment?
CAPSULE: EXIT 07, a place where I always have a great night.

My daily commuter is now a rain bike. Because, it's raining every day.
Without doing any research, I ordered and installed some Race Blades. They work okay, but not great. The front tire throws a continuous spray forward which the bike has to ride through, while the rear tire constantly sprays the seat tube, chainrings, bottom bracket. The bike is constantly filthy. Neither fender extends far enough down the trailing side of the tire. My shoes and lower legs get almost as wet with, as without, the Race Blades. They are effective in keeping my torso, back and butt from bring sprayed.
Perhaps I should have asked here first. Well, no time like the present.
What is the most effective clip on fender that will fit on an old race bike (1982 Peugeot PSV) - by race bike, I mean it has clearances much too tight for normal fenders, and no dropout eyelets. That are reasonably light and not terribly ugly? 700C wheels x 25 tires. Will be used daily in sometimes-heavy rain.

Hearing Protectors
Hearing Protectors
Topic Overview
Being exposed to loud noises can result in hearing loss . As the loudness of a sound increases, the amount of time you can safely listen to the sound decreases. One way to protect your hearing is to wear hearing protectors, which reduce the loudness of the sound.
Hearing protectors are especially important for those who work in harmful noise situations every day. Harmful noise is any sound over 85 decibels . The noise found in the construction industry and in machine shops is often at this volume. Wearing hearing protectors increases the amount of time you can safely work in these types of situations.
The two main types of hearing protectors are earplugs and earmuffs.
- Earplugs come in different sizes and should fit snugly into the outer ear canal. For people who need them frequently (such as people who are regularly exposed to job-related noise), they can be custom-made for a better fit. You also can buy disposable earplugs.
- Earmuffs cover both ears entirely. When they fit properly and are held in place by a headband, they form an air-seal that reduces the volume of sound entering the ears.
You can reduce sound by up to 30 decibels (dB) when you wear well-fitted hearing protectors. They are most effective at reducing your total noise exposure and preventing damage to your hearing when you wear them continuously throughout the period of noise exposure. For example, if you work 8 hours a day in an environment with a harmful noise level (85 dB or more), wear your hearing protection 8 hours a day.
Hearing protectors reduce the loudness of all sounds. Although there has been some concern that hearing protectors may make it more difficult to hear important sounds, such as voices or machine sounds, you are generally able to adjust to the quieter sound level without any problems hearing what you need to hear.
People who already have hearing loss may find it harder to understand speech when they are wearing hearing earplugs or earmuffs. But wearing proper protection can help prevent more hearing loss.
For more information on the workplace and hearing loss, contact the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). CCOHS has mandated hearing protection for people who are exposed to certain noise levels at work. You can contact CCOHS with questions on workplace safety and health, including hearing loss, at 1-800-668-4284, or find information at www.ccohs.ca.

International | ISRAEL: The summertime romantic soap opera between Israel and the Palestinians gives way to a sadly more familiar storyline
It's not the first time the United States finds itself on the other side of a squeeze play between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. But with nearly a quarter-million American servicemen and women on duty in the Middle East, talking both sides out of all-out civil war takes on new significance.
Only three months ago President Bush sat down with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas in a placid Egyptian resort to imagine "two states living side by side in peace and security." For Mr. Bush, the recipe for peace in the Middle East includes not only a Saddam-less Iraq but also a lasting end to the Israeli-Palestinian fight. A ceasefire between the two sides ensued but, as with summer romance, cold winds did blow.
Daydreams of progress on the roadmap to peace vaporized with a new wave of suicide bombings by Hamas and targeted killings by Israel. Mr. Abbas, a Palestinian point man more palatable to Israeli and American negotiators than Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat, gave up and resigned. His successor, Ahmed Qureia, is an Arafat yes-man. "Everyone [must] realize that it is not possible to make peace without Arafat playing the main part," Mr. Qureia said in a June interview.
In the same exchange, Mr. Qureia equivocated on suicide bombings by Hamas and other terror groups. "I personally support a halt to these operations," he told the Lebanese news daily Al-Nahar. "But I am not saying that the current intifada must end.... At the same time that I say martyrdom operations must stop, I [also] say that the Israelis are the terrorists and that they are the ones that use organized state terror."
Those statements, combined with Mr. Qureia's support for Palestinian control of both east and west Jerusalem, gave the Israeli cabinet reason to conclude that the roadmap to peace was going in circles. The cabinet announced it had voted to expel Mr. Arafat "in a manner, and at a time, of its choosing."
Mr. Arafat, who has been under virtual lock and key by Israeli forces, confined to his headquarters in Ramallah, nonetheless rallied worldwide sympathy. He spoke by telephone Sept. 15 to Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi, who later reiterated Iranian support for the Palestinians under Arafat leadership.
Mr. Arafat also spoke by phone to 20,000 supporters in south Lebanon. "We will pray together in Jerusalem as I promised," he told them.
Arafat sympathizers at the UN Security Council rushed through a resolution condemning the Israeli expulsion order. But the Bush administration used its veto power to overturn it. The administration says it won't endorse the Israeli cabinet's expulsion decision, but world representatives can't ignore Palestinian terrorists. "We will not support any resolution that evades the explicit threat to the Middle East peace process posed by Hamas and other such terrorist groups," said John Negroponte, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
U.S. officials don't need a roadmap to see that terror elements aligned against Israel are the same ones targeting the United States in Iraq and, potentially, elsewhere. "Any harm done to Arafat," warned Sultan Abu Al-Einen, general secretary for Mr. Arafat's PLO in Lebanon, "will turn the Palestinians into human bombs that will threaten American and Israeli interests."

NEW YORK — T-Mobile will likely start carrying the iPhone next year after its parent company, Deutsche Telekom, said it has reached a new deal with Apple Inc.
T-Mobile USA had been the lone carrier not offering iPhone among the four national wireless companies in the U.S. Although it has been possible to use iPhones on T-Mobile networks, customers had to provide the phones. The phones also work at much slower speeds, though T-Mobile has been recalibrating its network to match or exceed AT&T's data speeds.
The three larger carriers, AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp., already sell the iPhone, as do many smaller ones.
Apple to produce line of Macs in U.S. in 2013
NEW YORK — Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company will move production of one of its existing lines of Mac computers to the U.S. next year.
Industry watchers said the announcement is both a cunning public-relations move and a harbinger of more manufacturing jobs moving back to the U.S. as wages rise in China.
Mr. Cook made the comments in part of an interview taped for NBC's "Rock Center," but aired Thursday morning on "Today" and posted on the network's website.
In a separate interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, he said that the company will spend $100 million in 2013 to move production of the line to the U.S. from China.
"This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people and we'll be investing our money," Mr. Cook told Bloomberg.
That suggests the company could be helping its Taiwanese manufacturing partner Foxconn Technology Group to set up a factory in the U.S.
Yum Brands taking KFC to China's smaller cities
NEW YORK — The owner of KFC and Pizza Hut is taking its fast-food menus to the lesser-known regions of China, with plans to set up shop in smaller cities throughout the key market.
After expanding in China's biggest cities in recent years, Yum Brands Inc. is focusing on populating the country's less-urbanized areas. Building in those outposts of the developing nation will give it the kind of infrastructural advantage that McDonald's established decades ago in the U.S., said CEO David Novak at the company's investor conference Thursday.
Yum Brands, which also owns Taco Bell in the U.S., is already the biggest Western fast-food chain in China, with about 5,400 locations, compared with 1,600 for McDonald's.

SECAUCUS, N.J. - Washington State University first baseman Taylor Ard was the 25th round selection of the Boston Red Sox in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Tuesday.
The redshirt-sophomore was the 772nd overall draft pick. He was third Cougar selected, Tuesday after junior left-handed pitcher Adam Conley (second round, Florida Marlins) and junior outfielder Derek Jones (13th round, Baltimore Orioles).
"Getting drafted by a pro team is an honor," Ard said. "The round didn't matter to me. It was a relief to hear my name called and we'll see what happens next."
A transfer from Mt. Hood Community College, Ard had a tremendous first season in the Pacific-10 Conference. He led the conference with 10 home runs and 55 RBI in the regular season. The Vancouver, Wash., native was tops on the Cougars with a .337 batting average, 17 doubles, 40 runs and a .577 slugging percentage. In his last-seven Pac-10 games, he batted .500 (12-for-24) with seven doubles, three home runs and 12 RBI which helped land him a spot on the all-conference team.
Ard is the sixth player all-time to be drafted by the Red Sox out of Washington State. He joins pitcher Barry Sbragia (1972, 22nd round), pitcher Aaron Sele (1991, first round), catcher Scott Hatteberg (1991, compensation round), pitcher Rob Ramsay (1996, seventh round) and third baseman Stefan Bailie (2001, fourth round). Both Sele and Hatteberg made their MLB debut with the Red Sox.

Prior to attending Herzing University, I was living in a small town working at a local newspaper office that offered no room to grow professionally. I was doing graphic design at my job and really loving it. I decided to research schools, and came across Herzing University. Several people that I knew had either been attending or had attended Herzing in the past, and said it was a great place to get your education. I found out that there was a graphic design program and came to Madison to sign up! I loved the class sizes at Herzing! Having attended a large UW campus in the past, I was adamant on finding a school that had small class sizes so I could get the one-on-one attention that I needed. One of the things that Herzing University is known best for is the hands-on experience, and for me, that's the best learning method. All the professors know you on a first-name basis and are more than willing to help out with any questions or concerns that you have.
I think Herzing has prepared me for my future in the sense that they provided me with hands-on experience that will benefit me in real-world situations. My internship program gave me the opportunity to take what I had learned and apply it to everyday work.
Prior to my graduation, I was offered a full-time job as graphic designer/administrative assistant at my current place of employment, Complete Mobile Dentistry, Inc. I was offered a great starting salary upon graduation and my position is focused on the field I was enrolled in.
