Album Rating: 4.5BU2B is rarely mentioned and agreed, top 5 song here
Rush will tour again, or should I say 'perform live', in some capacity.....book it
Album Rating: 4.0BU2B top 5 song [2]
Digging: Paradise Lost - Medusa
Album Rating: 4.5'Wreckers is omfg'
easily my favorite on here and a top 20 studio Rush tune for me.......didn't translate in a live setting very well though
They need to play europe again
Digging: The National - Sleep Well Beast
Album Rating: 4.5I have no idea what they were playing, probably a song from their synthesizer era, but whatever it was it was my favorite song of the entire show. Jaw was dropped to the floor the entire time they were playing said song.
Damn you're lucky to have been able to catch them. I have a feeling R40 won't be the end of Rush but I can't see them doing anything for a while now.
Album Rating: 4.5They're definitely done touring at least I think. They hilariously said at one point like "Why? Because we're getting too old for this!!" I feel you geddy it's ok haha
It'd be better for them to end it now as opposed to when they're in their late 70s *cough*rollingstones*cough* but I reckon they have one more tour in them. Geddy said in that recent Rolling Stone Q&A thing that he's open to the idea of a tour and album so who knows.
Album Rating: 4.5I'm sure they'll continue recording but touring is definitely pretty exhausting, especially since they're not one to just stand there the whole time. I mean they're really jamming out which is awesome to still see at their age. I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped touring and wouldn't blame them.
Definitely not, they've earned it now haha.
A new album is more likely than a tour for sure.
Album Rating: 4.5God as much as I want a new album from my favorite band, The Garden would just be a perfect song to close their career with
Album Rating: 4.5so true elcraw
and as a few years of no touring go by, they'll get the itch and will convince Neil to do a quick blitz
also, just finished watching the R40 bluray.......sweet indeed
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offgota get it hard the cinematography looks so damn good, mix seems similar to earlier rush dvds too which rules
Album Rating: 4.5really good version of Animate
All a bit Alan Partridge innit.
Digging: Randomer - Smokin
Album Rating: 4.5god damn Geddy lets it wail on those 'agains' during headlong on the R40 Live release
Album Rating: 4.0holy crap neil peart announces retirement from music
Album Rating: 4.5Oh no ;(.
Digging: Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun
Album Rating: 4.5in 4 or 5 years, when Ray Danniels presents Rush with a short stadium tour (which they have never done themselves) which will place an additional 5 million dollars in Olivia's trust, good ole Neily boy will be pounding the shit out of those skins once again
Album Rating: 4.5I guess that's the end of rush...

SARASOTA — Hurricane Irene bypassed the state and spared Michele Bachmann's first campaign foray in Florida this weekend, but now she has to contend with Hurricane Perry.
Even as the Minnesota congresswoman and presidential candidate courted big crowds as part of a four-day campaign swing through the state, she faces a serious Florida challenge from Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
First, she must convince voters she's preferable to a proven, small-government conservative who shares her evangelical bona fides but has executive experience.
On top of that, she faces a Perry campaign building a formidable Florida organization.
"I like Michele Bachmann a lot,'' said Stephen Gately, a Republican activist from Pinellas County who was among more than 1,000 people at a Bachmann rally in Sarasota on Sunday afternoon. "But I'm supporting Gov. Perry. I prefer governors as our nominee."
While Bachmann was courting evangelical and tea party voters along the Interstate 4 corridor, at least 50 GOP activists from as far as Brevard and Collier counties converged at a Tampa law office Saturday to start a grass roots Perry organization in Florida.
"I spoke to Rick Perry Thursday night," said Wes Maddox, a GOP activist in Tampa who went to Texas A&M with Perry, who is expected to make his first Florida stop Sept. 13 in Tampa Bay. "He said, 'You tell them (in Florida) help is on the way.' That's what the governor's message is — help is on the way."
Florida is expected to play a key role in deciding the nominee, as GOP leaders aim to make the Sunshine State the fifth contest in the primary schedule.
"I intend to win Florida, and win it twice — once in the primary and once in the general election," Bachmann, 55, told the St. Petersburg Times in an interview aboard her blue campaign bus Sunday evening. "We're extremely serious about winning Florida, and we believe that we can. We intend to go voter by voter, city by city, county by county to get our message out, and it's already resonating."
Drawing more than 1,000 people to a Shriner's temple in Sarasota on a Sunday before Labor Day is proof that Bachmann is a political force who can't be underestimated. But capitalizing on grass roots enthusiasm requires an organization.
It's coming, Bachmann said.
"Remember, our campaign just began in the end of June," she noted. "To be this young of a campaign and to have won the Iowa straw poll was just an amazing achievement. We've already put quite a few stakes in the ground in New Hampshire, and seeing some strong support there. The same in South Carolina, and now we've started on Florida."
On her decision not to actively campaign for the state GOP's "Presidency 5" straw poll, she said she hopes people vote for her but she simply could not devote the resources and time.
The only name the campaign provided of someone helping organize for her in Florida was former Clearwater resident Peter Waldron, her faith outreach coordinator who ran a basketball program for at-risk youth in Tampa Bay until government funding dried up amid questions about its effectiveness. Waldron, who once spent 37 days in a Ugandan jail after being arrested with assault weapons and accused of terrorist activists — charges were dropped — on Sunday accompanied her to Idlewild Baptist Church near Tampa.
She did not address the megachurch but was warmly introduced and cheerfully shook hundreds of hands before heading to Sarasota, a bastion of moderate Republicans that nonetheless turned out in force.
She hailed the tea party as being common-sense Americans who understand government shouldn't spend more than it takes in, know they're taxed enough already and want government to abide by the Constitution.
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."
Plenty of people in the crowd said they were interested to learn more about Perry, but Bradenton retiree Philip Staples said he's already sold on Bachmann. "She's got the fire in the belly, and she's a straight shooter. She's one of the common people,'' he said.
Asked in an interview to spell out the chief difference between her and Perry, Bachmann pointed to her record leading the charge against most of President Barack Obama's agenda and willingness to buck her own party.
"The difference, I think, is that I've been in Washington over four years actively fighting against all of the measures that people want gone. If people are looking for someone with a proven track record to trust with the highest office of the land, someone who means what they say and says what they mean, I do that. People who see in me someone who's genuine and authentic and also someone whose a champion, a champion for the principles,'' she said. "We can't just have a manager in that seat."

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi Bryan. I have the User Guide but unfortunately this doesn't contain a wirring diagram. A faulty thermostat makes sense in that it's tricking the fan to continually be working. Is this easy to replace and will I need to remove the oven in order to replace the thermostat? Thanks
Speak to you soon. Thanks in advance. Piers
I think that the oven will need to come out of the kitchen unit. Access to the thermostat is behind the control panel as you say. From what I can gather I'm looking for a blue torpedo shaped device fastened into the wiring loom
How do I pull the oven out of the unit as it is securely fastened? Do i need to do anything to the ceramic hob part or if I pull on the oven will it just slide out? Obviously with the electricity turned off.
OK I have lifted off the top of the control panel and can see that the blue torpedo shape has burnt. There are black scorch marks on it. Is this the correct replacement part I need? The one in my oven has 4 wires coming out of it - 2 white and 2 blue.

If this is supposed to be "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," then why can't you get through a single mall trip or holiday party without wanting to smack your spouse? The couples and families you see in movies may be caroling with the neighbors, smooching under mistletoe, and wrapping gifts in a state of yuletide bliss, but that's not real life. For most people, schedules only get tighter and wallets just seem to get thinner between Black Friday and New Year's Day. That added pressure can damage your relationship, sucking the fun out of the festivities and sowing the seeds for resentment in the year ahead.
It doesn't have to be this way. We asked top relationship therapist Argie Allen, PhD, how to navigate some of the most common pitfalls that cause rifts between couples over the holidays. With her tips, you'll be able to enjoy that glass of eggnog—without wanting to throw it in your husband's face.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
The in-laws are awful
You chose your husband, but unfortunately his parents are part of the deal. If the holidays bring you to your in-laws' house for an extended visit, it's inevitable they'll get on your nerves, especially if you don't get along under the best circumstances. Planning ahead is your best defense against a trip like this causing arguments with your spouse, according to Allen. "Get your husband's support in advance and give yourself permission to carve out time away from the in-laws," she says. How? Try taking the kids to a movie grown-ups would hate.
MORE: What to Do When Your In-Law Is A Diet Outlaw
You drive me crazy
You're likely to be headed over the hill and through the woods more than one time during the month of December, and long car trips can be a minefield of possible arguments. If your husband is the never-asks-for-directions type, Allen recommends deciding in advance how long you'll try to figure it out for yourselves before you pull into a gas station for help. And if you like chitchat on the road while your husband can remain silent through three states, ask open ended-questions. "You have to create the space and opportunity for him to express his thoughts," says Allen.
A gift gone wrong
Even couples who have been together for decades stumble when it comes to giving gifts. What if your husband is excited for you to open your present, but when you do it's the ugliest sweater you've ever seen? "The key is to make him feel appreciated," says Allen. But that doesn't mean you can't get a gift you'll really use. Allen suggests telling him that though you appreciate his thoughtfulness, you'd love him to help you pick out a different style that you feel more comfortable in. Alternatively, she says, you can sidestep the issue by handing him a wish list in advance.
The budget crisis
It seems like money is tighter than ever this year and—in case you haven't noticed—holidays are expensive. There's decorations, party supplies, extra gas, special occasion outfits—and that's before you tackle your gift list. "Talk, talk, talk," is Allen's advice for this problem. Be honest if you have less this year than you did in other years if that's the case, and make a plan for homemade gifts this year. The time you spend together making something special can be much more precious than a new tie or toy.Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

I already had two cups of this and am starting over to pay more attention…it's been a busy morning so far! LOL :)
This infuses to a dark maroon color. It doesn't really have a distinctive aroma but what I can smell is a mellow-medium comforting warm black tea.
This has a medium to medium-stronger black tea base when it hit my tongue. It's a darker tasting type of malty.
A good straight-up black to have on hand!
Pretty nice!

Campbell-Ryce eyes Hammers win
Bristol City winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce has set his sights on claiming the scalp of Championship title contenders West Ham.
By Chris Galea
Last Updated: 31/10/11 4:02pm
Bristol City winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce has set his sights on claiming the scalp of Championship title contenders West Ham on Tuesday night.
The Robins secured their first win in 12 games with a 2-1 success at Barnsley on Saturday and they travel to Upton Park looking to kick on.
The Hammers are flying high in second spot, and have tasted defeat just three times in the league so far this season, but Campbell-Ryce says that, despite their early season struggles, City remain confident of quickly climbing the table.
"West Ham obviously had big expectations having come down from the Premier League last year and they are hotly tipped to go straight back up, which is rightly so because they are a massive club," Campbell-Ryce told skysports.com.
"At the end of the day we are on a level playing field and going to a place like Upton Park and bringing some points back would give everyone a massive lift.
"Everyone knows how tight this league is and a couple of results can turn a relegation battle into a promotion push, so we just need to concentrate on getting out of the bottom three first and then use that as a platform to kick on."

Police have not found any indication that the death was suspicious.
Political signs are stolen
• Several political signs have been stolen or vandalized around Grand Junction during this month, according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
Three signs that cost $200 each for the Citizens for a Safer Grand Junction were stolen in the last week.
Since the beginning of the month, police have received three other reports of stolen political signs, and several have been damaged around town.

Outbreak of tularaemia in Sweden, July-August 2003
Pasi Penttinen (firstname.lastname@example.com)
and Johan Giesecke (firstname.lastname@example.com),
Department of Epidemiology, Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control,
Solna, Sweden.
Table 1. Age and sex distribution of notified tularaemia
cases in Sweden between 1 July to 8 August 2003
Figure 1. Number of notified tularaemia cases by week
of notification, Sweden, 1 July to 11 August 2003. *Only one day (11 August)
of week included. Source: SMI.
Figure 2. Number of tularaemia notifications by year,
Sweden, 1997 - 2002.
The ulcero-glandular form of the disease dominates, with most cases reporting
a mosquito or tick bite at the site of the ulcer and subsequent lymphadenopathy.
This is consistent with the presentation during previous years in Sweden
(1). This year, a few clusters with respiratory disease probably due to
inhalational exposure have also been reported. These cases are typically
in farmers, with onset of disease within a few days of working with hay.
Similar inhalational exposure of farmers has been reported from previous
outbreaks in Sweden and Finland (2,3). Depending on the route of exposure,
tularaemia may also present in the oculoglandular and oropharyngeal forms
In addition, F. tularensis has also been diagnosed in post mortem
analyses of three hares from one of the affected counties by the National
Veterinary Institute (Statens Veterinärmedicinska Anstalt, SVA) (5).
Reports of dead hares, voles, and other small rodents around the areas with
human cases have been included in many case notifications. The reservoir
of F. tularensis in nature is unknown, although its survival in
water and mud together with the apparent distribution along lakes and rivers
in Sweden and eastern Europe is suggestive of a water associated reservoir
Mosquito bites, owning a cat, farming, and visiting wooded areas were identified
as independent risk factors for tularaemia in a recent Swedish case-control
study (1). In this study, 16% of the cases were admitted to hospital. Tularaemia
is responsive to antibiotic treatment, if begun within one week of onset
of disease. With adequate treatment, mortality due to infection with F.
tularensis var holarctica is very low. No deaths due to tularaemia
in Sweden have been reported to SMI during this season.
The early start of tularaemia notifications together with the rapid increase
in number of notifications during the first weeks suggest an epidemic year
in Sweden. Despite the proximity of some of the affected areas to the Norwegian
border, no cases had been notified in Norway by 11 August (6). In Finland,
dozens of cases have been reported from the areas affected
during the 2000 epidemic (7).
Tularaemia continues to warrant vigilance during late summer and early
autumn in the Nordic countries. Early identification of case clusters is
useful for correct clinical management of cases. Research is needed to identify
the natural reservoir and other environmental factors contributing to annual
changes in incidence. Natural early warning signals might even allow preventive
measures in affected geographical areas.

This season, head coach Bill Carinci's squad hopes to go even further, and players and coaches alike believe it has the talent to do so.
"In general, we have a great team, and we have everything we need to go far," said offensive lineman Mark Gillmeister during the first day of practice on Monday. "If we work together as a team, there's nothing we can't do."
Despite the chilly weather, players were excited to begin the first practice of the season. After warming up as a team, they split into groups for offensive and defensive drills.
A large number of players will be returning for Oneida, including several key seniors, two big offensive linemen and the majority of the backfield.
Carinci expects Gillmeister, Tyler Havener and David Carroll to contribute on the offensive line for running backs Dylan Cafalone and Kyle George. Cafalone had a stellar 2012 season and he and George should be contributors again in their senior seasons.
"Our goal, as always, is to make the playoffs," Carinci said. "This year we have a large returning senior class, so our intention is to get to the sectional finals and come away with a championship."
Junior quarterback Rory McCarthy will also return to lead the offense, although he'll be without Kyle Peck, his top wide receiver from last season who graduated in the spring.
Still, McCarthy doesn't think losing Peck will slow Oneida down.
"I think that we have a great team this season," he said. "We have a great line, and great receivers. We have a lot of athletes."

Early season has a method all its own
Equipment choices, timing can improve first few trips
For seven months you've suffered those spring and summer days, all that swimming and sailing and golf going on. Those afternoons sunbathing in hammocks and beach sand. Those nights that just wouldn't cool off.
Seven months of the world in its shorts-wearing, air-conditioned, sun-screen mode. And now you, the skier, the boarder, the snow-hound, your world is back.
You stand up there, boots on, clicked into fiberglass-composite boards of your choice, and look down the run toward mid-mountain. Everything looks and feels almost like winter.
Sort of.
Although some resorts managed to get people on the slopes around Halloween because of a freakishly early snowstorm, for most the Thanksgiving holiday period is - if not preseason skiing - certainly early season. And if every season has its own persona and set of conditions on the slopes, the early birds come with their own expectations.
But like any other sport, said former Olympic ski racer Doug Lewis, who lives near Vermont's Sugarbush with his wife, Kelly, early season requires a different approach than skiers and riders take later in winter.
"For starters, you should use your rock skis until you know what's up there - and that means your old skis,'' said Lewis, who, with Kelly, has run Eliteam Training Camps for 20 years - a program aimed at maximizing health and fitness training for young athletes.
"And it's important to get up there first when the skiing is limited and it's getting warm. If it's crowded on limited snow it pretty quickly becomes a fly for your life up there. So if you can get up there in the first couple of chairs, you're going to enjoy the better snow and have better skiing.''
Aside from the exhilaration of getting ones' first feet of vertical terrain under skis or boards, when a crowd shows up and the very limited snow cover collects most of them, the experience can range from uncomfortable to dangerous.
"We sometimes have called Downspout - a favorite trail - Deathspout,'' said Lewis, winner of the bronze medal in the World Cup Downhill in 1985 in Bormio. "There'll be 500 people on the run at the same time and you got the racers going crazy, the college kids going straighter, the beginners doing turns. It's definitely tough.
"I always like to slow it down in the early season.''
This season's traditional opening - perhaps today for many areas - will vary from region to region. Warm weather has interspersed with cool, snowmaking nights, so that terrain is limited.
Loon, New Hampshire's popular resort in Lincoln, is typical of those opening early. With a boosted snowmaking system, Loon hopes to have 60 acres of skiing and riding open today and through the weekend. That includes 10 trails, with such favorites as Walking Boss, Bear Claw, and Upper Picked Rock open, with at least partial top-to-bottom cover.
Following the Halloween storm three weeks ago, 18-year-old Anthony Barbarti and a few friends made a dawn outing from their New England College campus in Henniker, N.H., to Killington for some early-season boarding.
Barbarti found seven or eight trails open with fresh snow that held up through the morning. "It didn't get icy until around 2:30,'' he said, "so we were lucky to be up there really early, just as they opened.''
Barbarti's group heeded another piece of Lewis's first-run advice and stayed up waxing boards and getting the rest of their equipment prepared for action.
"It's really important to get your equipment prepared for the first trip,'' Lewis said. "You have to make sure your bindings are working property, and your skis are tuned, and make sure you don't have a mouse in your boot. And little things like remembering your gloves. When the time comes, they can be huge.''
Early-season skiing means much less snowcover, not only on the trails and runs, but in the woods, where uncovered stumps and rocks are particularly hazardous. Without deep bases, rocks can also pop up along the groomed trails, and there's not enough cover for glades and other non-piste skiing to be open.
"Fall skiing is just a different animal,'' said Kyle Bunder, a ski patrolman from Copper Mountain who has been helping prepare the race course for this weekend's World Cup at Beaver Creek, Colo. A transplanted Easterner, Bunder says that even if the weather has been cool enough for several nights of snowmaking, the winter base changes everything.
"I see this time of season as a kind of training, breaking in for the regular season. Just getting the muscles and gear up and working. And, you know, it can be fun too, just don't expect too much.''
So when does this early or preseason skiing and riding become full season?
"For me it's when the mountain is over 50 percent open,'' Lewis said. "That's when you can start to explore the mountain, explore different kinds of skiing. That's what makes a full day for me – opportunities to ski a lot of different kinds of terrain.''
By then, said Lewis, who will be World Cup ski racing analyst for Universal Sports, which will televise 84 races around the world this season, winter deepens at about the same rate the body gets tuned for the sport. He has routines and drills to do just that.
The early season on skis, he said, "It's a chance to get my ski legs under me. I work on my technique and turns really slow, and I'll even do dry-land on the slopes. I'll do non-stop slalom turns, then hold a tuck - not moving but just get into a stationary tuck position, then 50 more slalom turns. This is just working my legs into shape and getting my ski balance.
"I always try to stay in shape, but being in ski shape is something else.''
Whether or not skiers and riders will be in shape this weekend, thousands are expected to flock to the north country, though the snow generally is far from prime time. Here's a list of ski areas open with limited terrain today or for the holiday weekend:
In Maine: Sugarloaf and Sunday River; Vermont: Mt. Snow, Okemo, Stowe, Sugarbush, Stratton, Bromley, Jay Peak, Smuggler's Notch; New Hampshire: Bretton Woods, Cannon, Waterville Valley, Ragged (Saturday).

Presidential debate: 7 questions that should be asked…and probably won't. (Washington Post)
"When President Obama and Mitt Romney are jousting about taxes during their Wednesday night debate, one or both candidates might correctly point out that the Constitution explicitly forbids taxation without representation. They would do well to also point out that it guarantees against regulation without representation. Article I, Section 1 states, "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress." In practice, however, that protection has significantly eroded over the years. Both candidates could win many voters to their side by pledging to do something about it," write CEI's Wayne Crews and Ryan Young. (Washington Times)
Why presidential debates are important: "The debates are an institution now, and among the most watched television events in America. They are one place in the modern campaign — perhaps the only place — where the voter is treated with respect. They are the one time when the major candidates appear together side by side under conditions they do not control. They are a relief from the nasty commercials that dominate the campaign, fed by donations that are effectively unlimited and anonymous. Broadcasters provide the television time for the debates, without commercials, as a rare public service," writes Newton Minow. (New York Times)
CAP's Matt Miller: Tonight's debate: The advanced transcript. (Washington Post)
Room for Debate asks: Previews of the upcoming presidential debates have been both nostalgic and forward-thinking. But why all the hoopla when these debates are seldom exciting or enlightening? Is there a way to make presidential debates more substantive? What format changes would make audiences more engaged and hold candidates more accountable? (New York Times)
AEI's Henry Olsen: Open your heart, Mitt. (National Review)
IN a new 'bombshell' video, Obama criticizes federal response to Hurricane Katrina. (ThinkProgress)
AEI's Jonah Goldberg: Obama's foreign policy follies. (National Review)
"The Obama administration is taking it on the chin on foreign policy. The Arab Spring has given way to a violent winter, and with the situation in the Middle East likely to worsen, Gov. Mitt Romney will have plenty of ammunition for the debates, especially the foreign policy showdown on Oct. 22. . . In response, President Obama would be wise to talk up our effective aid programs and the soft power they provide with regional allies," write Kimberly Hess and Roger Bate. (New York Daily News)

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Maynard, MA, United States, 2010/02/15 - RevBase Briefcase enables sales staff and field marketers to easily manage documents, presentations, images and spreadsheets within portals.

Users point-and-click to add, edit, or remove items from their Briefcase, and can designate selected items for sharing with others in the organization. All items in the Briefcase can be emailed alongside items from other zones in the companys solution.
Three of our largest and most cutting-edge customers initially expressed a need for this capability, but we expect the majority of our customers will adopt it in the near future, said Scott Richardson, president and CEO of Longwood Software. Briefcase represents an emerging best practice for marketers who want to improve the way they collaborate with sales teams, and who want to combine the best of centrally-created marketing programs with field-based customization.
The RevBase marketing asset management solution delivers electronic and print fulfillment capabilities, including a searchable database for marketing assets; a visual shopping cart for collecting items for distribution; multiple email delivery modes; and click-through tracking of electronically-fulfilled materials. RevBase also features customizable reports and item expiration to alert marketers when items are becoming outdated.

|U.S. soldier shoots rare, caged tiger in Iraq
|What would the nearly $100 billion that George, Jr. wants for continuing operations in Iraq be paying for? One has to wonder after this story. A group of U.S. soldiers were having a drunken party at the Baghdad Zoo. One of the soldiers stupidly forced his way into a tiger cage to try feed it. When the tiger (not surprisingly) attacked -- injuring the drunken soldier's hand and arm -- another soldier shot and killed the rare, 14-year-old Bengal tiger. Zoo officials said they have no way to stop U.S. forces from holding their "parties" at the zoo.
|Ticketmaster joins the scalpers
|Ticketmaster, in an apparent attempt to prove once and for all that the only aspect of concert-goers they care about is their money, has announced that it will essentially start scalping tickets itself -- auctioning off the best seats to the highest bidders -- the sky's the limit! As far as Ticketmaster is concerned, if you're a fan and you're not rolling in dough, you don't exist.
|Spearing Bambi: Bad Will Hunting
|Looks like Prince Williams might have the attitude it takes to get the old Tower of London torture chamber out of mothballs, as he demonstrated by needlessly and inhumanely killing a 14-inch antelope by skewering it with a spear while on holiday. I guess that proves he's a real man now!
|Drug companies' campaign contributions and their lobbyists win -- patients and seniors get the shaft
|From the money talks file... The big pharmaceutical campanies spent a fortune in campaign contributions -- and massive lobbying -- to try head off a strong Medicare drug benefit that might lead the way to lowering the outrageously high drug prices paid by most U.S. patients. Looks like the drug firms won big. The weak drug benefit emerging is likely to be cause for celebration at corporate headquarters.
|"Macho Man" Bush speaking of Iraqi attackers: "Bring them on!"
|When George, Jr. wants to play jet fighter combat pilot on an aircraft carrier that's one thing. When his cowboy movie mentality could incite more attacks on our own troops, that's something else again. "Shameful" is hardly a strong enough word.
|Dueling "Spikes"
|From the trademark madness file... Sat/Cable network TNN (formerly "The Nashville Network," then "The National Network") was all set to change their name again, this time to "Spike TV." Filmmaker Spike Lee got a court injunction blocking the switch, claiming he owned the rights to the word "Spike." Now TNN is firing back, with statements from heirs to musical novelty master Spike Jones, saying that the Jones family also has rights to the word "Spike," and that nobody should be able to block its use by others. Yes, we have no bananas!
|Senator Hatch says "destroying" file traders' computers would be OK!
|In remarks that stunned onlookers at a Senate hearing, Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said that he'd support the development of systems to remotely "destroy" the computers of persons believed to be engaged in illicit file trading of music or movies, if less drastic measures don't seem to solve the problem. For more on this incredibly ludicrous and dangerous idea, please hear the short Fact Squad Radio segment "Senator Hatch & The Computer Destroyers!"
|U.S. Army details new biological warfare weapon in patent!
|While nobody so far has been able to find the Weapons of Mass Destruction that George, Jr. and Britain's Tony B. claimed were the main reason for the Iraq war, some searchers might have more luck looking closer to home. Seems the U.S. Army has patented a new biological warfare weapon -- possibly ideal for terrorist use -- complete with descriptions and diagrams. Looks like "intellectual property protection" will trump "people protection" every time!
|Fat cats at Bush tax-cut event ordered to remove neckties to look "ordinary"
|George Jr. keeps insisting that his tax cut plan for the rich would trickle down to ordinary folks. At a recent event pushing his plan, most of the VIP fat cats behind the President were ordered to remove their neckties so that they'd look more like the unwashed masses. Who needs ethics when there's a photo op to stage?
|U.S. makes deal with Iranian terrorist group
|Here we go again. The U.S. supported Osama and Saddam when it seemed convenient. After 9/11, George, Jr. said that the fight against terrorism was black and white. Now comes word that his administration has made a deal with a U.S.-designated Iranian terrorist organization.
|Man saves children from fire -- then is arrested
|From the "no good deed goes unpunished" file... A 22-year-old man risked his life and saved three children from a burning apartment building, then was arrested when a deputy recognized him as being wanted for a parole violation (relating to a burglary conviction) for missing a meeting with his parole officer last month.
|Girl forced to publicly remove artificial leg at airport
|The brilliant security specialists of Chump, er, that's "Chubb" Protective Services subjected a 16-year-old Australian girl to humiliation, and horrified other passengers, by insisting that she remove her obviously artificial leg at Adelaide Airport. Other youths, some in wheelchairs, were also subjected to "extra scrutiny" by security drones as they all returned from the 12th National Junior Games for the Disabled. Looks like airport security stupidity isn't limited only to here in the U.S.
|Bush team now fears anti-American, fundamentalist Islamic government forming in Iraq
|In the "oops, maybe they should have thought about this first before promoting democracy in Iraq" department, Bush officials are expressing alarm at the rising fervor of majority Shiite, fundamentalist Islamic political power in post-war Iraq, and the disdain that Iraq's population is showing for Bush's hand-picked expatriate leaders. Will replacing the anti-American, secular government of Iraq with an anti-American, Islamic theocracy, end up being George, Jr.'s most memorable contribution to history?
|Backlash growing to Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act
|Across the U.S., individuals, municipalities, and a range of other organizations are beginning to fight back against the draconian, unconstitutional, and civil rights violating aspects of the USA Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act, both passed in knee-jerk fashion after 9/11.
|Billions for Iraq and the rich, but not for working people
|President Bush has billions of dollars for rebuilding Iraq, and has made helping the rich get even richer the foundation of his economic planning. But what of the working people in Wichita?
|Previously unseen photos show Saddam statue "pull down" was staged
|You've of course seen the photos of the Saddam statue being pulled down by a crowd of enthusiastic Iraqi citizens, with help from the U.S. Army. But wait a minute, was it really a spontaneous crowd? Was it a crowd at all? Or was it a purely manipulated media event? Some previously unseen photos do indeed appear to reveal the true story. For additional commentary on this topic, please see "Victory on Quicksand".
|French's Mustard panics: "We're not French!"
|The makers of French's Mustard have put out a press release reminding everyone that their founder, R.T. French, and the mustard have nothing to do with France. With various cretins boycotting anything that even sounds like it's from France (presumably to try "punish" the country for refusing to back the U.S.'s attack on Iraq) the company was concerned they might be caught up in the stupidity.
|CIA analysts claim pressure to match Bush policies
|Analysts at CIA say they've been under pressure to make their reports conform to Bush policies (e.g., emphasizing any possible links between Iraq and Al Qaeda) at the expense of accuracy.
|GOP donors, Chaney's firm set to profit bigtime from Iraq war
|Various big corporations -- mostly large GOP donors and including the Vice President's pals at Halliburton -- are using secret bids in their lust for slices of the massive Iraq rebuilding-contract pie.
|U.S. war on Iraq may be illegal
Many leaders and experts say that the U.S. war on Iraq is illegal, potentially
subjecting participating countries and leaders to war-crimes prosecutions.

|Lack of girlfriends may drive computer virus writers
|Most computer virus writers are males between the ages of 14 to 34, with a chronic lack of girlfriends. Need I say more?
|Anti-war movement biggest since Vietnam
|It took many years for anti-war protests in the U.S. to grow to very large levels during the Vietnam war. Protests against the U.S.'s Iraq war, both in the U.S. and around the world, are already of a scale and staying power that are surprising observers.
|World at large not buying into Iraq war
|Contrary to the Bush, Jr. White House predictions, most of the world is not "falling into line" behind Bush's war since the start of the U.S. attacks. In fact, positions against the war have been hardening. [registration required]
|Justice Scalia bans media from free speech award ceremony
|Nope, not a joke. Scalia said he'd only accept the City Club's Free Speech Award if all media were excluded from the event. However, the perverse, inverted logic of his reasoning at least seems to be in line with many of his court decisions, so you can't say he isn't consistent.
|Justice Scalia says most of your rights are expendable
|That bastion of progressive thinking, Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, declares that most of what we assume are our "rights" aren't listed in the Constitution, and he's perfectly willing to strip them away in time of "war" -- presumably including undeclared wars -- the only kind the U.S. has had since WWII. Looks like the growth stocks might be companies making barbed and concertina wire for "relocation" camps.
|Leave your home, get shot as a terrorist
|New Jersey says that if the rainbow color code system goes to "red alert" (we're already at "orange" again) anyone leaving their home will be assumed to be a terrorist... and presumably shot.
|Israeli bulldozer kills American protester
|A 23-year-old American woman, protesting the demolition of residences by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in the Gaza Strip, was killed by an Israeli bulldozer that reportedly refused to stop and ran over her twice.
|The Academy Awards and War
|There's a good chance that the upcoming award ceremonies will feature some of the most "political" acceptance speeches in the show's history. That's what freedom of speech is all about.
|Intelligent life in space?
|The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is about to comprehensively investigate the most interesting locations for possible intelligent life. No doubt they'll have better luck in deep space than here on Earth.

Hi Brent,

Efficiency aside, your code is definitely more readable. I flubbed that step from True/False to 0/1 using fromEnum. Haskell's grab bag has so many tools it's easy to omit one.

Thanks,

Michael

By the way, I would write this as

flagstone n = concat . take n . map show . f . group
 . map (fromEnum . odd . bitcount) $ [20..]

You should never use foldl (++) as it is rather inefficient: you get
things like (((a ++ b) ++ c) ++ d) ... which ends up traversing the
left part of the list repeatedly. And list comprehensions can be nice
at times, but personally using map seems clearer in this case.

Doesn't make much sense to me. The sum of binary digits in the binary
representation of n will not be zero very often...

Fed days have always been difficult to handicap. The insertion of the press conference feature under the Ben Bernanke regime has not made pre-and post-decision-making for clients any easier, I can tell you that much.
Comments on a digital press release jolt markets initially. Then there is a 30- minute window in which the chairman is in the back studying Mr. Market's response and tweaking his verbal attack plan for story hungry reporters. Finally, the chairman arrives on stage rocking his Jos A. Bank suit and either sets the market ablaze (a rip higher that crushes the shorts) or waves in the black clouds from out yonder (a spike lower that demoralizes the bulls).
I will give myself a hearty backslap for predicting no taper by the Fed because that's what the generation before me does in order to thunderously call attention to their awesome predictive powers. But, this backslap will last a mere millisecond (unlike the generation before me) as the market's enthusiastic response caught me by surprise.
In hindsight, I should have recollected that the market has suspended having a logical view on the real economy. It prefers instead to send stocks to loftier valuations amid promises of further electronic debits into virtual bank vaults. Those debits are then used to buy stocks (and for investors doing it on their own, tap into low-priced leverage to juice their can't miss investment opportunities).
To address the burning, yet simple, question of "what just happened", and hopefully reconfigure a portfolio correctly into October, here are 10 things to consider.
1. Third quarter earnings warning season (emphasize "earnings warning") suddenly seem less relevant. Muted reactions to warnings, depending on the moves prior to October, at this juncture appear likely given the renewed Fed commitment.
2. The Fed is concerned on the outcome potential of the September employment report following August's miss and robust negative revisions. A re-acceleration in the labor market has been pushed further out for the next Fed head to deal with, as is satisfying the requirements of "substantial improvement."
3. Markets, bond and stock, continue to dictate Fed policy rather than this dual mandate nonsense of maximum employment and price stability.
4. There is no trusted plan in place that real investors could see to give them confidence that quantitative easing will be gradually wound down with little market impacts.
5. Look for subdued 2014 capital expenditure forecasts from corporate America. Not only do companies have no impetus to invest as rates were talked lower by Bernanke, but they can blame "policy uncertainty" similar to the Fed's musings on fiscal policy to maintain a disciplined eye on expansion initiatives.
6. I truly hate the concept of share repurchases, and believe it's a byproduct of Fed policy that is constraining job creation. Nonetheless, expect a pickup in share repo announcements into year end. Be aware of when a company's authorization date on a current plan is set to expire. This was one of the reasons why I was positive on Microsoft in March (I knew its plan was done in mid-September and I studied its track record of capital allocation).
7. It's unlikely there will be a taper in 2013, meaning reinvigorated flows of money into emerging markets (this perked up a bit in the past two weeks). You may want to rotate out of some European Union recovery plays (which have oddly been a safe haven of late) into names with a decent exposure in emerging markets; perception on favorable flows will trump the sluggish data in store for those emerging markets near-term, reflecting of course the impact of the summer money exodus spurred by Bernanke's tougher talk on bond purchases.
8. All investment bank forecasts (the top houses were wrong) regarding Fed policy must be used as a secondary source for making buy and sell decisions for the portfolio. Your own research should take precedence. Just because a broker dealer has a trading floor with Bloomberg terminals on the desks and extensions to "noted" economists doesn't mean there is a Batman-type line to the Federal Reserve that spews secret information. We are all generally flying blind at the moment!
9. I have been hot and cold for clients since April on Toll Brothers (TOL). I am thinking you could chase it here. You could apply the thesis of the Fed sparking higher stock prices (favors Toll Brothers' wealthier clientele) and committing to a rate talk-down leading to better commentary from the company in third quarter 2013. Improved weekly mortgage app data will begin to build the bull case (has started to stabilize).
10. The Fed basically said structural changes in the economy, plus the inaction in Washington, are limiting prospects of inflation, which honestly would be welcome at this point in the recovery. Beneficiaries of deflationary forces: restaurants. I am more inclined to do the homework first on a Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) and Texas Roadhouse (TXRH), or those catering to a higher income clientele.

Every holiday season, 9-year-old Isaac Meadows proudly displays a Cardinals-themed Christmas tree, custom-designed for him by St. Louis Children's Hospital Foundation.
Isaac is one of many children who has received a personalized tree at the foundation's Children's Holiday Festival, developed in 2008 to increase awareness and raise funds for the hospital's programs and services. This year's event will take place Dec. 8 at Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel. The night filled with festive entertainment is always a memorable highlight for Isaac and his family. But his holidays were not always so bright.
As a baby, Isaac suffered from constant colds. His mother, Lisa Meadows, who also is a nurse at Children's, first attributed his illnesses to cold weather and a bustling day care center. But when his condition persisted and worsened, Isaac was referred to Children's for further tests. During the winter of 2004 while still an infant, Isaac was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia.
From the first day of his diagnosis, hospital staff rallied around the Meadows family. "When something like this happens, you're in a fog and you have no time," Lisa says. "My whole department would deliver me dinners every day to help my family and even come to my house to do bills." The staff's connection with her son also was immediate, she adds. "How they work with children is above the bar. This type of diagnosis is scary, especially for a child. They would ease his fears and make him comfortable."
After three years of chemotherapy and five years of remission, Isaac is now considered cured. "Even now, I go out of my way to get his labs drawn at Children's," Lisa says. And her son still refers to Children's as "his hospital." "The staff is patient, understanding and committed to patients," she notes. "You cannot replace that."
As a five-year cancer survivor, Isaac gladly gives back to the hospital that helped save his life. His involvement has included promoting the Children's Holiday Festival at his school. Through his experience, Lisa says her son has learned how important it is to give back. "You never know when your family could be the one in need."

My husband and I are going to be visiting Japan later this year. A friend of a friend went to Japan and took this photo of their traditional japanese dinner: http://images14.fotki.com/v221/photos...
They were given kimonos to wear and I just love how beautiful their table looks filled with beautiful dishes. As I am an avid food photographer I'd love to capture something like that while in Tokyo.
Most of the kaiseki places I've read about serve dishes one at a time but I am looking for something where the entire table is filled with dishes.
Does anyone know of a place like this in Tokyo?
Thanks in advance for your help!

By Hudson Apunyo
The number of cases of Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) is worrying health workers in Lira Regional Referral Hospital (LRRH) with up to three cases recorded quarterly.
Sr. Alul Christine Okodi, a TB care nurse and MDR TB focal person expressed this concern while briefing reporters on Thursday during MDR TB patient satellite camp at LRRH.
MDR-TB is rapidly on the rise globally and the cases need different antibiotics and are more difficult to treat owing to higher costs of drugs and longer regimens, according to WHO.
"In LRRH there are 12 patients who are drug resistant including two prisoners from Lira Prison.
There are 38 identified cases on treatment in Lango and there could be many in the community who are not identified," Mrs. Alul stated.
Sr. Alul Christine Okodi, a TB care Nurse and MDR TB focal person talking to reporters at Lira Regional Referral Hospital.PHOTO/ Hudson Apunyo
MDR TB is very infectious and treatment takes two years unlike susceptible TB which takes eight months to treat.
Patients who had treatment for susceptible TB for last eight months but are not cured are considered to be having MDR TB.
The sputum is always taken and when gene expert declare them resistance to rifampicin (RIF), further screening is done in Kampala (culture and sensitivity).
When the result comes back (positive), Alul said, they are started on six month daily injection while monitoring their sputum, then they remain on tablets for 18 months.
Causes of MDR TB
There are those who are unfortunate and there are those who default on taking their drugs as directed.
Others start treatment and they default and if they start on the same drug, there is possibility of drug resistance.
Information from Ministry of Health indicate that Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Uganda with an annual incidence of 330 cases of all forms and 136 new smear positive cases per 100,000 people per year.
The expected case load per year is 102,000 (WHO 2010 Global Report).
Uganda like most of Sub-Saharan Africa is battling with the dual Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS epidemic.
It is estimated that about 60% of the TB patients are co-infected with HIV/AIDS.
This dual epidemic has resulted in a fourfold increase in the notification numbers of TB cases in the region.
Furthermore TB stands as the number one killer of HIV/AIDS patients.
