The CFL Players Association named their all-star team and included the Lions' Korey Banks, who didn't qualify on the official poll cast by writers and coaches. Who got it right? (Postmedia)
There's a curiosity factor every year at Grey Cup time when the players and those who cover them are pitted against each other when it comes to recognizing the best performers on the field.
Once again, the writers and coaches didn't see it exactly same way when it comes to the Lions. Only three B.C. players were voted onto the CFL Players Association all-star team which was announced Thursday, tackle Jovan Olafioye, and defensive backs Dante Marsh and Korey Banks.
That means there's only a chance the official all-star team, which comes out later Friday and after tonight's CFL Awards ceremony, will match the players' choices in a couple of instances, and there won't be unanimity across the board.
Marsh and Olafioye were two of six B.C. players who have been identified so far to the West Division allstar team. The media/coaches poll went with Ryan Phillips over Banks. They also ignored linebackers Solomon Elimimian and Adam Bighill. Consider this a debate-starter. In small type on their release, the players also name a fullback and for the second straight year tabbed the Lions' Rolly Lumbala, a player rep.
Frankly, in an eight-team there really only should be one all-star team, but the writers are asked by the league each season and recognizing there are bonuses on the line, there is a buy-in by the media. At any rate, the list follows:
Quarterback; Henry Burris, Hamilton; Tackles; Josh Bourke, Montreal, Jovan Olafioye, Lions; Guards: Chris Van Zeyl, Toronto, Peter Dyakowski, Hamilton; Centre; Marwan Hage, Hamilton; Running backs: Jon Cornish, Calgary, Kory Sheets, Saskatchewan; Slotbacks: Fred Stamps, Edmonton, S.J. Green, Montreal; Wide receivers: Maurice Price, Calgary, Chris Getzlaf, Saskatchewan
Ends: Alex Hall, Saskatchewan, Charleston Hughes, Calgary; Tackles; Bryant Turner, Winnipeg, Khalif Mitchell, Toronto; Linebackers: Chip Cox, Montreal, Henoc Muamba, Winnipeg, Marcus Ball, Toronto; Cornerbacks: Dante Marsh, Lions, Geoff Tisdale, Montreal; Defensive back; Craig Butler, Saskatchewan; Halfback. Korey Banks, Lions; Safety: Kyries Hebert, Montreal
Kicker: Rene Parades, Calgary; Punter: Rob Maver, Calgary, Coach: John Hufnagel, Calgary

Peter Schiff is running for a U.S Senate seat in Connecticut and wants to get our country's fiscal house in order. According to his website, here is a brief bullet list of how he intends to begin:
-No More Bailouts: Peter Schiff Was a Vocal Critic of the $ 700 Billion Bailout Package (TARP) & Will Always Oppose Government Handouts
-Impose a Hard Cap on the National Debt to Control Government Spending
-End All Pork Barrel Spending & Congressional Earmarks
-Oppose Obama's "Stimulus Package" that Puts America Deeper in Debt
In this video shot in West Hartford, Ct., Schiff says "At this point I think the stakes are too high. I find it hard to remain a spectator and just watch this trainwreck happen.....The government is growing like a cancer at this point and it's sucking the life blood out of the economy! Who provides the lifeblood of the American economy? The private sector! Peter reminds us that "The average federal worker now earns 60% more than the private sector worker." This is not sustainable if the private sector continues to shrink causing tax revenues to dry up.

What is a Frieze?
A frieze (pronounced FREEZE) is a long narrow band of sculpture that runs along the architrave of a Greek temple or another building. One of the most famous friezes is the one on the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. You can find out more about that frieze on Kidipede's page about the Parthenon frieze.
Maison Carrée in Nimes (16 BC)
In this photograph of a Roman temple, you can see that the frieze runs around the temple on top of the column capitals and below the pediment.
Usually Greek and Roman temples had either a frieze or alternating triglyphs and metopes in this location, but occasionally (as in the Parthenon) a temple might have both.
Temples in other parts of the world might also have friezes. In India, for example, we see friezes on the Konarak Sun Temple (1200s AD). These friezes aren't necessarily above the columns, but may be in different places on the temple.

Outlook Form Regions Overview
|Required applications
The features in this topic are available only if you have the required applications installed.
For more information, see Features Available by Product Combination.
Use form regions to add custom functionality to standard Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 forms.
Form regions provide a range of options for presenting your custom user interface (UI):
Customize the default page of any standard form.
Add up to 30 extra pages to any standard form.
Replace or enhance any standard form.
Display custom UI in the Reading Pane in addition to the Inspector.
For more information, see "Customizing Form Pages and Form Regions" in 2007 Office System: Updated Developer Content.
Design the layout of a form region by using the Form Region Designer in Outlook 2007. You can then import the form region into an application-level add-in project and use managed code to handle events in the form region. To finish the form region, define form region properties and associate the form region with an Outlook message class.
For a step-by-step guide, see Walkthrough: Creating an Outlook Form Region.
Designing the Layout of the Form Region
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (VSTO 2005 SE) does not have a form region design surface. As a result, you design the layout of a form region using the Form Region Designer in Outlook 2007. The Form Region Designer generates an Outlook Form Storage (OFS) file. This file describes the controls on the form region, and the positions of those controls.
Reference this file in your Outlook 2007 add-in project to define event handlers for controls on the form region.
Adding Managed Code Behind a Form Region
To add managed code behind a form region, create an Outlook 2007 add-in project. Add a custom class that implements the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.FormRegionStartup interface. This custom class is called the form region class. Within the form region class, implement methods to perform the following actions:
Return the OFS file to Outlook.
Handle events raised in the form region.
You must then create an instance of the form region class and pass that new object to Outlook. For more information, see Returning the Form Region Class to Outlook.
Returning the OFS file to Outlook
Outlook calls the FormRegionStartup.GetFormRegionStorage method to obtain the OFS file that describes the form region. To return the OFS file to Outlook, override the FormRegionStartup.GetFormRegionStorage method in the form region class.
When you create an Outlook add-in, you can add the OFS file to the resource collection of the Outlook add-in project. If you do this, you can return the contents of the OFS file to Outlook as a byte array. The following example overrides the FormRegionStartup.GetFormRegionStorage method and returns the contents of an OFS file that is named TaskFormRegion from the resource collection of an add-in project.
public object GetFormRegionStorage(string FormRegionName, object Item, int LCID, Outlook.OlFormRegionMode FormRegionMode, Outlook.OlFormRegionSize FormRegionSize) { Application.DoEvents(); switch (FormRegionName) { case "TaskFormRegion": byte[] ofsBytes = Properties.Resources.TaskFormRegion; return ofsBytes; default: return null; } }
If the OFS file is not a resource in your Outlook 2007 add-in project, return the string path of the OFS file. This path can contain environment variables, but the file must be local. The path can be either absolute or relative to the location of the form region manifest. The form region manifest is discussed later in this topic.
Handling Events Raised in the Form Region
Outlook calls the FormRegionStartup.BeforeFormRegionShow method before it displays the form region. Override this method in the form region class to handle events raised by user actions in the form region. Use the FormRegion parameter to obtain the controls defined in the form region.
The following example overrides the BeforeFormRegionShow method. The code in this method assigns controls from the form region to fields defined in the add-in. This code also registers an event handler for a command button on the form region.
private Outlook.FormRegion FormRegion; private UserForm UserForm; private Outlook.OlkTextBox OlkTextBox1; private Outlook.OlkCommandButton CommandButton1; public void BeforeFormRegionShow(Outlook.FormRegion FormRegion) { this.FormRegion = FormRegion; this.UserForm = FormRegion.Form as UserForm; try { OlkTextBox1 = UserForm.Controls.Item("OlkTextBox1") as Outlook.OlkTextBox; CommandButton1 = UserForm.Controls.Item("CommandButton1") as Outlook.OlkCommandButton; CommandButton1.Click += new Outlook.OlkCommandButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(CommandButton1_Click); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); } }
Returning the Form Region Object to Outlook
Outlook queries the add-in to find objects that implement the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.FormRegionStartup interface. To return one of these objects to Outlook, override the RequestService method of the
ThisAddIn class. If you do not return an object that implements the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.FormRegionStartup interface in this method, Outlook will not locate the form region.
The following example overrides the RequestService method and returns the form region class to Outlook.
Defining Form Region Properties Using a Form Region Manifest
To define the properties of a form region, create a form region manifest.
A form region manifest is an XML file that contains information that Outlook must have to load the form region.
Use the manifest to define properties such as these:
Display titles.
Form region type.
Display conditions.
Localization information.
For a step-by-step guide that shows how to create a form region manifest, see Walkthrough: Creating an Outlook Form Region. For details about the schema, see 2007 Office System: XML Schema Reference.
Associating the Form Region with an Outlook Message Class
An Outlook message class identifies a standard Outlook form. To specify when the form region appears, associate the form region with one or more message classes. For instance, you might want to display a form region when a user opens a mail item in Outlook. To do this, associate that form region with the IPM.Note message class. Create this association by adding entries to the registry. For more information about message classes, see "Item Types and Message Classes" in 2007 Office System: Updated Developer Content.
A quick way to add entries is to put them in a registry file and then run the file. For an example, see Walkthrough: Creating an Outlook Form Region.
The registry modifications must include the following items:
A key for each Outlook message class that is associated with one or more form regions.
An entry for each form region and an associated value that represents the location of the form region manifest.
The following example shows the contents of a registry file. These entries associate an Outlook message class with a form region.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\FormRegions\IPM.Task] "TaskFormRegion"="C:\\FormRegionWalkthrough\\FormRegionAddIn\\manifest.xml"
You can associate one Outlook message class with several form regions. You can also associate one form region with several Outlook message classes.
You can also create a new custom message class that is based on an existing message class. A new custom message class inherits all the form regions that are associated with the base message class. This also works for end users who create forms by using the form designer in Outlook, if they base the new form on a customized form. Their new forms will inherit the custom form regions that are associated with the base form.

USF completes '11 schedule with FAMU, UTEP
USF has completed its 2011 football schedule, announcing on Tuesday that the Bulls will have home games against Florida A&M and UTEP, with the Rattlers returning to Tampa in 2015.
"We couldn't be more excited about rekindling the series with FAMU," said USF athletic director Doug Woolard, whose football team also hosted the Rattlers in 2005. "Getting the chance to host FAMU will be great for both fan bases, the city of Tampa and football in Florida."
The FAMU news has been widely speculated here -- Rattlers coach Joe Taylor told us in June that it was "very likely" and we first mentioned it in 2009 -- and the UTEP addition is especially notable because it's a one-game deal, with no return trip to El Paso, the first time USF has been able to do that with another I-A opponent. FAMU will get $400,000 to come to Tampa, while UTEP will get $650,000, a relative bargain for a guarantee game -- Florida State, by comparison, will pay $1.3-million -- twice the Bulls' cost -- to bring Louisiana-Monroe to Tallahassee this fall.
The last FAMU game in 2005 drew an announced crowd of 43,122, then the second-largest crowd ever to see the Bulls at Raymond James Stadium. FAMU has a strong alumni presence in Tampa, and the "Marching 100" band at halftime is a draw all by itself -- Rob Higgins, executive director of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, joked that it will be "one of the more anticipated halftimes in Tampa history." (Bruce Springsteen is taking Higgins off his holiday card list as we speak.)
Getting UTEP for one game sets a key precedent for USF, which will now have seven home games in 2011, even though they have just three in conference play. The Bulls will open at Notre Dame on Sept. 3, then host Ball State, FAMU and UTEP on the next three weekends, with Miami set to come to Tampa on Nov. 26.
"We may not be able to do it every year, but I'd like to try to get to the point where we can play seven home games as often as we can," said Woolard, who was an associate athletic director at Washington State in 1989 when current UTEP coach Mike Price was hired as head coach there. "Being able to play an FBS school here without a return is what gives us the opportunity for seven games, and nobody will have to be the first to do that anymore."
Another indication USF is getting smarter with these deals -- UTEP's buyout is $1-million, far more than the $200,000 that Florida International paid to back out of a 2009 game just eight months before kickoff. FAMU's buyout is just $400,000, which tells me USF has no reason to think the Rattlers aren't coming to town.
Oh, and because you guys ask every time: Both FAMU games will have Big East officials, while the UTEP one will have a Conference USA crew.

In only his fifth film in 38 years, legendary writer-director Terrence Malick offers a unique meditation on faith, family and the meaning of life, as encapsulated by one boy's coming-of-age in 1950s Texas. Sean Penn plays the boy as a man, reflecting on a childhood dominated by his domineering father (Brad Pitt). From the infinite to the intimate, Malick provides much food for thought on a spiritual, symbolic and visually stunning journey that stretches back to the dawn of time. His vision was rewarded with the 2011 Palme d'Or at Cannes.
Terrence Malick
Sean Penn
Jessica Chastain
Fiona Shaw
Kari Matchett
Taking viewers from smalltown USA to the farthest reaches of the cosmos by way of A-list stars, hammerhead sharks and CG dinosaurs, The Tree of Life sounds like the perfect stopgap for fans of Superman and Jurassic Park.
But while it's an imposing symphony for the senses, Malick's fifth is more like Stand By Me with a PhD in metaphysics.
At its heart is the coming-of-age of young Jack (Hunter McCracken), the eldest son of a strict Texan disciplinarian (Pitt) and an angelic redhead (Chastain, late of Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus).
We meet Jack as an existentially troubled businessman (played by Penn), mulling over his life and the (unspecified) death of one of his brothers while mooching around a (similarly unspecified) 21st century metropolis... and various other photogenic habitats.
Human angle vaguely established, Malick then embarks on a brief history of evolution from the birth of the universe to the meteor strike that may or may not have wiped out the dinosaurs. Strangely, there the lesson ends.
(Perhaps the low-profile director - Hollywood's answer to the Scarlet Pimpernel - didn't want to cause trouble for 20th Century Fox by casting doubt on the historical accuracy of the Ice Age movies?)
The bulk of the film, however, deals with Jack's relationship with his dad. Played with studied seriousness by Pitt, 'Father' is a controlling and confusing influence, telling Jack all he wants is for him to grow up to be his own man while allowing him no free will.
Thankfully, there's always the unconditional love of his mother to see him through the acts of rebellion, curiosity and boredom-driven prankstering that are part of growing up in suburbia.
Light on dialogue, heavy on orchestral pomp and beautifully composed - at times breathtaking - imagery, The Tree of Life is ripe for contemplation and introspection.
But narratively compelling it is not. There's a line between profound and pretentious, and Malick's procession of abstracts, metaphors and whispered non sequiturs will leave many viewers out of their (but mainly his) depth.
And whatever point he's trying to make, he's in no hurry to make it. Remember the plastic-bag-in-the-wind scene in American Beauty? Imagine it stretched to over two hours.
Yet there's no denying Malick's visual poetry. From smoke-filled streets to the surface of the sun, and the near-silent performances of Chastain, Penn and impressive newcomer McCracken, the whole film is testament to the adage that pictures speak a thousand words.
True, it's the sort of nebulous fare that has critics salivating and average movie-goers approaching it like a plate of cinematic greens.
But how often do you leave the multiplex pondering the universe and your place in it? Consider it a unique workout for your popcorn-bloated brain.

Angels' offense and bullpen bail Wilson out of trouble
Starter gives up six runs, but Trout's homer seals fourth straight win
ANAHEIM -- On Tuesday at Angel Stadium, the roles were reversed.
After giving up one run in his last start, Angels starter C.J. Wilson was shelled for six on Tuesday. After throwing 22 consecutive scoreless innings, Twins starter Kyle Gibson did not make it 22 pitches without surrendering a run.
But most importantly, after struggling to hold leads recently, the Angels bullpen came through.
All that added up to an 8-6 Angels win, their fourth in a row, bringing the Angels (42-33) within four games of Oakland in the American League West. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Twins (36-39).
The Angels bullpen, which coughed up leads to Texas, Cleveland and Atlanta in the past 10 days, threw four scoreless innings to pick up Wilson (8-6), who lasted just five innings and gave up nine hits.
Mike Morin, Kevin Jepsen, Ernesto Frieri and Joe Smith combined to allow just two hits over the last four frames, securing the win and their manager's confidence.
"They saved it," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "When you're trying to get four innings out of the 'pen, it's stretching a bit but all those guys did a great job."
Smith closed the game for his sixth save of the season, which is twice as many as he had entering this season. Smith has claimed the closer's role after Frieri lost it with poor performances in Atlanta and Cleveland.
Scioscia said Smith would remain in the closer's role until "Ernie gets his feet on the ground."
Frieri's outing on Tuesday should help him do that. Frieri entered a one-run game in the eighth inning and sat down the Twins in order, inducing a groundout, a strikeout and a flyout.
"I need to get back to my routine, to my 'Good Ernie' and the only way to get back is to pitch," Frieri said.
The scoreless inning for Frieri was the first one for him since June 9. In the three appearances since then, Frieri pitched 1 1/3 innings and gave up six runs on eight hits. Tuesday marked the first time since May 14 that Frieri appeared in just the eighth inning.
"The adrenaline in the ninth inning is a little bit different because you know the game's going to be over," Frieri said. "There's no more baseball after that. … I love pitching in the ninth. But the eighth inning, just a little bit different."
Although Frieri would not be the closer, Scioscia said he would stay in the back end of the bullpen.
"He's one of the guys we're counting on to hold leads for us," Scioscia said. "Whatever inning it's going to be, it's like you're closing out that inning.
"Mike Morin had to close out the sixth inning with a one-run lead. Kevin Jepsen had to close out the seventh; Ernie, the eighth and Joe, the ninth. It's really little pockets of trying to get those three outs to hold the lead. We need to expand that group of relievers that'll be able to hold leads for us."
The Angels bullpen looked like it would once again relinquish the lead in the seventh inning when Jepsen gave up a leadoff double to Danny Santana and then walked Brian Dozier. But Jepsen got Joe Mauer to roll a ball up the middle, just past Jepsen's glove.
That's where Howie Kendrick scooped up the ball, touched second and fired to first for a rally-killing double play.
"It was kind of one of those perfect ground balls where it just carried you right through the base," Kendrick said. "My main priority was just to catch it and make sure we got one for sure
"It was big because they had an opportunity to tie the game. [Jepsen] made a really good pitch, got it down and was able to get us a ground ball there."
Jepsen escaped the inning with a Kendrys Morales strikeout two batters later. But the double play preserved the lead and allowed the Angels to add an insurance run in the eighth.
"That was the biggest play of the game, I think," Mike Trout said.
The Angels scored in the first after they loaded the bases with no outs. Josh Hamilton stepped in a lined a two-run single to center field. Two batters later, Kendrick dumped a two-run single into right field to make it 4-0. Erick Aybar scored to give the Angels a five-run lead when C.J. Cron grounded into a double play.
After Minnesota tied the game at five in the second, Trout gave the Angels the lead again with a two-run home run to right-center that brought in Kole Calhoun to make it 7-5. The homer was Trout's 17th of the season.
"Even though it was 5-0, we're going to keep playing hard," Scioscia said. "If they're going to come back and score five, great, it's like it's a 0-0 game again, you have to start over."
Gibson (6-4) exited after the second inning, his shortest outing since May 10.
Calhoun drove in the Angels' eighth run of the night with a sacrifice fly in the eighth.

Sossusvlei Trips
The Namib Desert has the oldest and most evocative desert scenery in the world. Witnessing the changing colours of the shifting sands gleaming in vibrant reds and oranges at sunrise and sunset is one of country's quintessential experiences. While it is the towering dunes that most people come to see, Sossusvlei itself is actually the pan (vlei) or valley floor that you will park on. The ever-changing landscape of gravel plains, rugged canyons, towering walls of volcanic rock and vast dune seas forms one of the world's most striking, well-preserved and easily accessible deserts, and is well worth the effort of getting there.
Sossusvlei itself is 65 km from the park gate along a paved road. It's worth stopping at the photogenic Dune 45 (coincidentally, 45 km from the gate) and climbing to the top for the view of the surrounding dune sea. Depending on fitness, it takes 20-40 minutes to reach the main ridge. This is a lovely spot to watch the sun rise to the east in the early morning or setting over the dunes to the west in the evening. On clear days your view over the dune sea extends to around 100 km in all directions.Read more
There are no restrictions to walkers so you are free to explore at will. Rather than following the herds up the nearest dune, walk a few hundred metres beyond the final car park to Dead or Hidden Vlei to enjoy the tranquillity and scenery of the area, before climbing one of the less crowded dunes. Being even one ridge away from the crowds transports you into your own silent and awesome desert wilderness. For an alternative experience, flights and balloon trips over the mountains and dunes in light aircraft provide breathtaking views of the magnificent natural formations.
Located near the entrance to Sossusvlei is another interesting geological feature, the sharp schism in the earth known as the Sesriem Canyon. The name Sesriem is derived from the ses riems, or six lengths of rope that were needed to haul water out of the gorge from the top. This narrow gorge is 1 km long and up to 30 m deep running west before eventually flattening out as it approaches Sossusvlei. After good rain, pools of water form in the bottom of the gorge; take your swimming things and enjoy a quick dip.

When someone we love is struggling with the symptoms of Alzheimer's or a related dementia, we want the best care possible for them. And, according to research, that quality care should include a holistic approach- one that considers the needs of the body, mind and spirit.

Let's apply that holistic approach to activities for people with dementia. The need for meaningful activities has been well-documented in research, and there are many activities that engage the body and the mind. While there is strong evidence that people with dementia can benefit from familiar spiritual activities and traditions, there are few resources that outline how best to do that. There's no "one size fits all" approach here since your choices will highly depend on the background of your patients or loved one, but here are a few faith-based activities to consider.

Read more: More than just Bingo: Ideas for Meaningful Activities

Music

Music can be very powerful for all of us, whether we have dementia or not. Many people have strong memories of songs they sang when they were younger, and when you're working with dementia, anything familiar is a blessing to people.

Read more: How to Use Music throughout the Stages in Dementia

Prayer and Meditation

Offer to spend time together in prayer. I know many people with Alzheimer's disease who are calmed, encouraged and uplifted by prayer. This can be done in a group of several people or with just one person. In a world of confusion, memory loss, or difficulty finding the exact words, the practice of prayer can transcend some of those cognitive losses.

Read Familiar Passages Together

Many faiths have a holy book such as the Bible. Take time to read some of those passages together.

Reciting Favorite Verses or Prayers

Some people with dementia have certain verses and prayers they've committed to memory throughout their life. Choose a passage that may have been memorized when they were younger and try encouraging them as a group to recite it together. You may be surprised at the level of participation.

Observe Traditions and Rituals

If your background has regular, sacred events such as communion, see if you can make arrangements to have that offered in your home or the facility where your patients or loved ones live.

Celebrate Holy Times

Throughout the calendar, there are several holy celebrations and events for the different faiths. If possible, involved your loved one in commemorating those special times.

Religious Services

Some people with dementia might enjoy the familiar routine of a religious service. For others, the stimulation and larger group of people might be anxiety-provoking, so be sure to observe and respond to your loved one's reaction.

Religious Objects

The tactile experience of holding something meaningful in your hands can be powerful. For example, holding a necklace that has a symbol of faith attached or a sacred book may be meaningful for some people.

Have Other Ideas?

Virginia County Raises the Bounty on Coyotes
Cumberland County, in central Virginia, has raised the bounty on coyotes to $50 for each one killed.
Bounties for coyote control have had mixed results in Virginia. Halifax County is satisfied with the success of its program, but Nottoway County dropped its bounty after about a year because officials didn't feel it was effective.
Biologists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture say coyotes are in every county in Virginia, and that a bounty program is not the way to go as it is indiscriminate slaughter that does not properly the target the very narrow problem.
Two years ago Cumberland County had three baby goats killed by coyotes, but now farmers say they attribute as many as 30 calf deaths to coyote predation last year.
To lower loses, the Dept. of Agricutlure recommends using an integrated approach that includes fencing, quard animals such as dogs and llamas, and targeting killing of those select coyotes that are actually attacking livestock.
5 comments:
There are species that excessive hunting could put at risk. Coyotes aren't one of them.
Every day a hunter spends hunting coyotes is a day he's not hunting something else.
So encouraging people to hunt coyotes should relieve hunting pressure on other species.
Really, if we can't have wolves here in the Northeast, what IS the downside of coyotes?
My collegue who raise goats says that as long as she puts the kids in a pen at night, she hasn't had a predation problems. Of course, she also has a Grand Pyrenees.
I am a big fan of both llamas and guardian dogs -- there seem to be a glut of guardian breeds in rescue and I hear glowing stories from my livestock collegues who have great results even from dogs that never saw a herding animal before being pulled from rescue -- it really does seem to be a "summoning of the genetics" as McCraig (sp?) says about Border Collies -- the dogs are happy, the herd is safe and happy and the grower is happy because the family can sleep at night.
Meanwhile varmits (including the white-tailed deer -- even if it's just fawns) get eaten. I'm just not seeing a downside here. . .
- PBurns said...
As odd as it sounds, I agree with both of you, more or less.
Point one is that hunting at current levels does not seem to have hurt the coyotes as jdege has noted. In fact, we shoot, trap or poison about 500,000 coyotes a year in this country, and their numbers keep rising. They are a vey fecund and adaptive species, and their numbers seem to be stable or rising everywhere.
As to whether coyotes are good for the environment, or otherwise beneficial, the jury is out. As a general rule, they seem to be neutral to very-slightly positive. For those raising medium-sized stock (sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, geese, ducks) of course, they are a disaster (see step one, hunting and trapping), and they can also be a very serious problem for small dogs and cats left in back yards (fencing, larger dogs, and monitoring-when-out may be required).
That said, most people are not raising small stock, and coyotes mostly eat a lot farther down the food chain that people realize. Like fox, they mostly live on mice and rats, with the addition of road-kill and hunter's carcasses, possum, rabbits, frogs, snakes, groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, the occassional nesting duck and geese, the occassional turkey, the occassional fawn, and a lot more vegetative matter and trash than most people realize. Adult deer are a very small part of their diet, and most of that is probably roadkill. Raccoon and fox will be killed if they can catch them and manage it, but most coyote are not that large. Yes a 40- or even 50-pound coyote is possible, but 25 and 30 pounders are more common, and most wild animals are extremely risk-averse. Remember, one serious cut, lost canine tooth, broken bone, or infection, and a wild animal is probably soon dead. This information is deeply encoded in the genes of wild predators, which is why they tend to eat down the food chain and rarely operate at-capacity.
I seriously doubt the coyote-blamed cattle loss in Virginia. It's very common, with both sheep and cattle, for farmers to blame all stock loss on predation, when in fact the predator is just as likely to have been scavenging an already-dead animal. Newborns that fail to thrive can fade out overnight, and it does not take much to get a downer calf. I am not saying a pack of coyotes cannot take out a calf, but I am saying that I would really look for flowing blood and other signs of a live-animal struggle before I would count it as such.
The problem with coyotes in Virginia is the already-real prospect of rabid coyotes. A rabid eastern coyote is sufficiently large and crazy enough to be a very serious public health problem; a nightmare on four legs, actually. Think that through, and it gives you pause. That said, the solution to rabies in wildlife is not killing all the wildlife; it's aerial bating of rabies vaccine. That works, and that is being done.
Hunting coyotes does not do much to remove hunting pressure on other animals because there is very little hunting pressure on other animals, at least not in most of the U.S. east of the Mississippi. Deer, turkey, and geese are among the most common species hunted, and they are at record levels and a nuisance in a lot of places. In fact, in this immediate area (shotgun only), deer are unlimited take in season -- shoot as many as you want. Abatement licenses are generally granted to orchards on request, and the numbers shot can be sobering. If coyote-hunting reduced deer hunting, that would be bad. But it doesnt. There are relatively few coyote hunters in the East, and those coyotes that are shot tend to be by-kill from deer and turkey hunting.
Having said that there is no real threat to coyote numbers from hunting, does not mean that indiscriminate slaughter of the animal is needed, necessary or logical. In fact, most coyote do very little harm to man or anyone else, and can be left alone to clean up the dead and otherwise grab what they can on the margins of existence.
Problem coyote, of course, need to be shot and trapped, and let's do that. In sheep and goat country and areas (a very small amount of land in the U.S.) shooting and trapping on sight might be wise, but that leaves 99.95% of all land unaffected.
- Onewhoknows said...
Guard dogs are fine a good... HOWEVER... there is an increasing problem with PEOPLE getting in the way of a dog that has been trained to protect the flock, herd, etc. There is a woman in Colorado that was attacked by a two great Pyrenees that were guarding cattle. She started screaming which brought in the dogs and was mauled. Whose fault is it? The dogs got blamed and put down, now how does the rancher protect his herd?
- PBurns said...
Yes, I heard about the Colorado woman. An odd set of circumstances and a BAD decision by the judge. I doubt it will happen again very soon (if ever).
In my part of the world where we have sheep, you would be considered a very strange duck to be running over the countryside, and NO judge would care what happens to you if the stock dogs turned to protect the flock. God Bless Virginia, land that I love ;)

Brad Thorn could play in Super Rugby for Reds next year at age of 41
Brad Thorn doesn't "retire" like normal mortals. He merely takes a break, makes use of his Wolverine-esque recuperative powers and decides when, how and if he returns to the rugby field.
It could be next season at this rate. At 40, a year older than when Muhammad Ali retired, he has hinted at a possible playing return should he be required to suit up by the Queensland Reds, whom he has joined as a coach for emerging forwards. When the season starts next year he will have turned 41.
Thorn has arrived back in Brisbane, a city he has always called home despite his sporting travels across multiple codes and continents. His presence at Ballymore shapes as a genuine coup for the Reds, who have snared one of the most-respected big men the game has ever seen.
It was designed to be as a coach only yet it is understood Thorn insisted on a clause in his contract that allowed him to be selected as a player, should the opportunity or emergency arise.
Certainly Queensland's lock stocks are on the thinner side of things, with veteran James Horwill now playing in England and his replacement, Kane Douglas, on the long-term injury list after knee surgery. He could miss the entire season.
Wallaby Rob Simmons will be the main man, along with Cadeyrn Neville, who joins the Reds tight five from the Melbourne Rebels. Australian under-20s lock Lukhan Tui also stands to be thrown in the deep end.
All of which makes a re-appearance of Thorn more than a curiosity. He only finished with English club side Leicester midway through the year and few would doubt his ability to mix it up in Super Rugby once again.
"There's always an urge. I didn't actually retire – I'm just playing less now," Thorn said. "If things were like dire straits, I'm happy to help out any way I can but I think things are under control at the moment."
Thorn is noted for his dedication to physical excellence and would have kept himself in prime shape during the off-season, even if his playing future remains unclear.
Any return would be great PR for the Reds, although they would rather have a fit Douglas, whose injury continues the bad luck of recent big-name signings, given what transpired around Karmichael Hunt in 2014 and the poor season turned in by an injury-riddled James O'Connor.
The Reds start their season on February 27 against the Waratahs in Sydney.

Hi there -
I'm a recorder player who has been playing for over 10 years, but I am primarily a violinist. For this reason, I have a number of instruments which have been minimally played. With regard to the three instruments I am selling here, I have not played them for longer than 2 hours, in keeping with a strict breaking in policy. Essentially they are new. All three have exceptional tonality and intonation, suffering from no defects, either tonally or physically - I just simply have not had the time to dedicate to them. However, they have not been played at all in a few months, have been stored in their cases, and therefore will require breaking in as new instruments.
I have been an eBay seller since 1998, and have 100% feedback. I will ship all instruments free of charge - you are essentially obtaining a new instrument- all I ask is that you play them as they deserve to be played!
I will post a link to my Flikr site for photos of each instrument - rest assured that these are pictures of the actual instrument you will be receiving:
Hotteterre Tenor in C, stained maple, double holes, baroque fingering, A=440Hz
The Hotteterre tenor has a powerful and warm sound in all registers. The instrument is most suitable for solo playing and its extended compass of 2 1/2 octaves gives access to the baroque flute literature. Because of their considerable length the instruments have keys for the lower notes.
This recorder has been branded with an anchor. The anchor symbol belonged to Jean Hotteterre and his descendants - a very influential French family of woodwind instrument makers and composers in the 17th and 18th century with a widely spread family tree. Two of three recorders branded with this symbol are to be found in the Musée de la Musique in Paris, one belonging to the Frans Brüggen collection in Amsterdam.
The Hotteterre tenor recorder has a consistently large and warm tone in all registers. It is especially suited to solo-playing since its range of 2 1/2 octaves gives in general access to the baroque flute repertoire. In addition it has proved successful in use in contemporary music, with its strong low register and volume of tone.
Designed by recorder maker Ralf Ehlert, this instrument was cited as "best of available tenors" in Ameican Recorder Magazine, November, 2004
The tenor comes with a hard case, cleaning rod and joint lubricant.
As an additional incentive, I will include free of charge a hand-cast fleur-de-lis thumbrest of solid brass, sold by the von Huene shop. The thumbrest costs $35. It has cork on the underside for additional comfort. This rest is a wonderful - and practical - touch to this fine recorder!
Asking $1250, which includes shipping.
Jan Steenbergen Soprano (Moeck)
The Steenbergen series was designed by Guido Klemisch after an original by the Dutch maker Jan Steenbergen (1675-1728) which is in the Frans Bruggen collection in Amsterdam. The recorders have a narrow windway which offers a good degree of resistance, facilitating greater dynamic and expressive variation. As a result, they are elastic in dynamics and articulation, even with varying air pressure.
As with all Moeck recorders, the intonation is excellent and the bright, warm tone of this model is particularly effective in the upper register, making it highly suitable for performing the most demanding Baroque repertoire.
This Steenbergen soprano has been constructed of Indian boxwood and is pitched at a=440.
The recorder includes a deluxe hard case with cardboard cover, cleaning rod and joint lubricant.
Asking $499, which includes shipping.
Morgan Special Edition Denner Alto (Mollenhauer )
A limited supply of the Morgan edition instrument have been manufactured. This instrument is modeled after the Copenhagen original instrument of Jacob Denner (1681-1735), with modern pitch (a=440Hz), in Zapatero boxwood, and is historically stained.
The tone holes are strongly undercut with reduced diameters. The design produces the characteristic high-baroque sound qualities: Stability of pitch, modulation and dynamic range. Demanding players will find them excellent for both solo and consort work.
The instrument has been tuned carefully over an extended period of time, ensuring precise intonation for the advanced and professional player or performer. The thumb hole bushing provides attractiveness and additional durability. The joints are threaded, as was done in the case of the historical instruments.
The alto also comes in a fine soft leather case.
Asking $999, which includes shipping.

Frances M. Baughman (Frani), 49, of Lewes, peacefully returned unto the Lord Monday, March 03, 2014, at the Delaware Hospice Center in Milford.
She was born Nov, 19, 1964, in Delaware County, Pa., daughter of Thomas J. Brady and Frances M. McLaughlin Brady of Drexel Hill, Pa.
In addition to her parents, Frani is survived by her husband William J. Baughman; her son Bill Baughman of Denver, Colo.; her daughter Jacqlyn Baughman of Lewes; her brother Tommy Brady and wife Brenda of West Chester, Pa.; a sister Kristy Stiefel and husband Doug of Drexel Hill; and one grandson, Gabe.
In an unexpected chain of events beginning four weeks ago, Frani's breast cancer attacked her brain in an unprecedented fashion. With great sadness, we as a family decided to let Frani return home to Christ after her long and unbelievably courageous fight with cancer.
Over the past two years Frani's willingness to fight has been nothing short of amazing - as to be expected from a nothing short of amazing person. Her strength has been immeasurable; her courage unyielding and her tenacity indescribable; she would put superman to shame.
Although the sun now begins to set on Frani's earthly life, her joyful grace, unwavering compassion, unending kindness, relentless love and jubilant spirit radiates from within each of us whom she has touched.
This Earth has indeed shined brighter, laughed louder, and has fared much better with her presence. So too, heaven will shine brighter with her wonderful spirit.
We cannot describe the void, sadness and emptiness we as a family feel knowing we must live without her. With an unshakable faith in the power of Christ and his love, we will meet again in a better place.
We love you momma. We all love you!
Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 8, at 11 a.m., at Lewes Presbyterian Church, 133 Kings Highway, Lewes, with burial in the adjoining churchyard. Friends may call Friday, March 7, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Lewes Presbyterian Church.

YOU MUSTN'T CRACK UP THE DARWINIAN THEORY AT JOEL'S; Because the Latter, You See, Has Written a "Polygeneric Theory" to Disprove It ;- He Expounds It to the Accompaniment of Turkey Trot and "Chile Con Carne."
A TANGO-RIDDEN bohemian restaurant; a whirl of skirts in the turkey trot; a Spanish girl in a blue dress singing "I Didn't Want to Do It," with a fiddler dancing after her around the room, violin in hand. Over in one corner a crowd of Mexican revolutionists eating chile con carne.

Also this year, TGW Switzerland invited to an event that dealt with an exciting topic for the materials handling industry at the end of October: Highly dynamic order picking versus energy efficiency. Can these two requirements be combined?
The first "Umweltarena" (note: Environment Arena) worldwide in Spreitenbach near Zurich hosted a business event dealing with energy efficiency and materials handling on 29th October 2013. After Thomas Kretz, Sales Manager TGW Switzerland, had introduced the company and presented TGW's standardized processes in which sustainability constitutes a very important part in each and every step of an installation's life cycle, also partners, customers and other TGW colleagues held their speeches.
Afterwards, Peter Tobler, Sales Manager at TGW Switzerland, hosted a lively discussion forum, in which all speakers involved themselves with their know-how. The guests went on a tour through the "Umweltarena" Spreitenbach and were informed about topics such as energy, mobility and renewable energies. "Our guests were very interested and actively involved in the talks. The informative and perfectly documented exhibition in the Umweltarena contributed a lot to the success of our customer event," Thomas Kretz is happy.
Conclusion: Their is no contradiction between high-speed equipment by TGW and solutions focusing on sustainability.
This year, TGW Switzerland was able to win even more visitors for the event. The energy efficiency topic was met with great interest and the TGW team was able to create an informal environment with a close connection to the customers and professional conversations.

I don't think the example cited negates the idea of using domain names. I would say that if a package is dropped by one vendor, and picked up by another, that it is perfectly reasonable for the package to adopt a new name. Furthermore, in an open source environment, you could even use something like net.sf.webware.mypackage for a name. -Stuart-

Moms Rock the Runway at New York Fashion Week
Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show took place onMonday, September 10th at 7PM in The Tents on The Stage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. The show, co-created by Executive Producer Stephanie Winston Wolkoff of SWW Creative and Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein of The MOMS, featured real moms walking the runway in the top contemporary brands to showcase looks that are available in stores now. This season's theme of "Moms on a Mission" was chosen to provide mothers with access to fashion, while celebrating women who are making a difference as CEOs, philanthropists, and entrepreneurs.
The evening began with Stephanie Winston Wolkoff thanking the team of 'Moms on a Mission' who brought the show to life for its second season. Talk show personality Wendy Williams kicked off the show discussing the importance of moms supporting each other and involving their children in their lives. Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein were the first to hit the runway strutting their stuff to the jams of nine-year-old deejay prodigy DJ Fulano.
The moms walking included actress Lisa Rinna, WWE's Stephanie McMahon and Chrysula Winegar of the Million Moms Challenge, along with real life heroes including an aplastic anemia survivor, a public school teacher and a military mom.
"The moms walking the Strut runway were chosen for their extraordinary dedication in their communities and around the world. This fall, we wanted to highlight affordable fashion, philanthropy and motherhood while making the world a better place," said Melissa Gerstein of The MOMS.
Rent the Runway provided many of the looks which can be rented on RenttheRunway.com where a percentage of proceeds will go to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. Bloomingdale's,Famous Footwear, and Nicole Romano Jewelry provided additional looks. Other brands participating in the show included FabKids.com, Jay Godfrey, Laundry by Shelli Segal,Ingrid and Isabel, Bath & Body Works, CLOS-ETTE too, Laura Geller Makeup, Matrix Hair Care, New Balance, Barbour, Tout, P.S. Aéropostale, Good Housekeeping and Julep.
"Moms today are raising more than just families -- they are raising new ideas and creating change. We created Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show to present moms with accessible fashion that allows them to embrace their style and bodies with confidence as they live their busy lives," explains Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

Hip-hip has long been an incubator for pop culture; what becomes trendy in this music-driven world eventually spews into the mainstream to die an agonizing death in suburban America. Think of the icy denomination 'bling-bling.' How often have you heard soccer moms or corporate colleagues throw the Cash Money-coined term around as if they just spent a 'band' on a piece of Ben Baller's jewelry? I'd bet it was more than once. The latest term facing this unfortunate epidemic is the word 'ratchet.' Whether if you seen it on Beyonce's Instagram, nodded your head to Juicy J proclaiming his love for women of this social sect, or overheard your mom using this word to describe Miley Cyrus, ratchet is everywhere. But what does it really mean? Is it good or bad? Should we embrace it or leave it for the 'culture vultures' as Mr. West so aggressively put it? To help define this word and the stereotypes that surround it, Ryan Hall of i am OTHER took to the streets of New York to talk to our peers.

Mumbai, May 17 (ANI): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the suspension of Gujarat Ranji Trophy player-turned-bookie Amit Singh on Friday, after it was established that he had a hand in the latest spot fixing controversy in the Indian Premiere League (IPL).
In a statement issued here, BCCI Honorary Secretary Sanjay Jagdale said: "Mr. Amit Singh, a registered player with the Gujarat Cricket Association, who has also been arrested by the Delhi Police, has been suspended by the BCCI, pending inquiry."
In the same statement, Jagdale said that the President, BCCI, has convened an Emergent Working Committee Meeting, at 11 a.m. on May 19 at the Park Sheraton, Chennai.
The Working Committee will discuss, among other things, the fallout of the spot-fixing controversy in the ongoing IPL, in which three players have been arrested by the Delhi Police.
The Working Committee may consider after deliberation, the imposition of a life ban on Test player S.Sreesanth and two Rajasthan Royal players-Ankit Chavan and Ajit Chandila-for their alleged role in spot-fixing three of Rajasthan Royals' Indian Premier League matches this season, television reports said Friday.
With all three players pleading guilty to the spot fixing charge and being sent to five days police custody on Friday, the BCCI top brass will be keeping an eye on how investigations by the Delhi Police pan out.
As per media reports, there is unanimity among the office-bearers that Sreesanth should not be allowed to play any cricket at any level from now on.
"As of now, Ravi Sawani, who is the head of BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit, will carry out a parallel investigation and will submit a report to BCCI disciplinary committee headed by Arun Jaitley within 30 days," a senior BCCI office-bearer was quoted , as saying on Thursday.
There is a view that that the BCCI must walk the talk on ensuring zero tolerance on match or spot fixing.
As of now, the three players have been suspended by the BCCI, and if the charges are confirmed, it has promised the "strictest action" against them.
The Board said it would cooperate with the Delhi Police during the course of investigation. (ANI)

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – No. 23 Vanguard secured its position as the lone unbeaten Golden State Athletic Conference team when it defeated Westmont 85-74 Tuesday evening Murchison Gym. Junior DeAngelo Jones (Cheney, Wash.) scored a season-high 30 points in the win on 8-for-14 shooting.
With the victory, the Blue and Gold improve to 16-2 overall and 3-0 in GSAC play.
The Lions and the Warriors appeared evenly matched from the beginning, as the early minutes were characterized by momentum swings and lead changes. A 7-0 Warriors' run gave WC its biggest lead of the evening (19-14) at 9:17, but Vanguard answered, putting together its own 9-0 run in the ensuing two minutes to take a four-point lead (23-19).
The rest of the half was back-and-forth, concluding with a Jones lay-up which put the Pride up by a pair at the break (31-29).
Leading all players heading into the locker room was Jones, with 9 points. Junior Chris Gorman (Oceanside, Calif.) and freshman Zach Allmon (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) registered 8 and 7 through 20 minutes of play, respectively, for the Lions.
Jones took over in the second, nailing two from behind the arc in the first two minutes to give Vanguard a 40-32 edge early.
Vanguard found its rhythm in the following minutes as Allmon, senior Noel Larkins (Placentia, Calif.) and Jones extended the margin to 10 points (48-38) with back-to-back-to-back buckets just before the 15:00 mark.
Larkins was left open on the following two possessions, and could not be contained as he secured the Pride's largest advantage of the night (54-41) while simultaneously forcing a timeout from Westmont head coach John Moore.
After the chat, the Warriors put together a small run, but a pair of electric dunks from Allmon served as ammunition for the Blue and Gold which led by as many as 13 down the stretch before claiming the 11-point victory.
The Lions forced 18 turnovers in the competition and amassed 11 steals. Gorman tallied a game-best 3 steals while compiling 14 points in 33 minutes.
Allmon had a stellar night, coming off of the bench to record 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. He shot an impressive 7-for-9 from the field in the game.
Senior Preston Wynne (Wellpinit, Wash.) scored 10 in the affair while grabbing seven off of the glass.
Westmont falls to 11-6 (0-3 GSAC) with the loss.
Vanguard travels to No. 13 Arizona Christian on Saturday for a 7:30 pm contest with the Firestorm.

We defend good people whose lives have been turned upside down by an arrest for domestic assault.
Dear Prospective Client,
As an experienced criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, I know how the criminal justice system works and what it takes to get truly remarkable results in domestic assault cases. I am proud to say that during the period from May 2010 through May 2016, while building my team and refining our expertise, we achieved a 97% dismissal rate for our clients.
We are not "plea brokers" but tough defense attorneys who defend our clients in the most vigorous and passionate manner. We never start with the goal of merely obtaining a good plea bargain agreement. Rather, we strive to get the best outcome that the facts and circumstances will allow. For many, many of our clients, that has meant dismissal of the charges against them.
No lawyer can guarantee a specific result in a criminal case, but my firm provides an opportunity for a truly positive outcome for many people charged with family violence or dating violence in Travis County, Texas.
With Warmest Regards,
Kiele Linroth Pace, Director
The Pace Law Firm, P.C.

Labour leader David Shearer has stayed on at Ratana for a second day - laying down a direct challenge to the Maori Party.
Politicians don't tend to stick around for the final day of Ratana celebration but this year Mr Shearer knew he had to to add clout to his declaration of war.
"The Maori seats are up for grabs and we're going to be going for broke to get them," he says.
Labour's determined to retake all seven Maori electorate seats which would effectively destroy the Maori Party.
Labour currently holds three of the seven Maori electorates, the same as the Maori Party. Hone Harawira's Mana Party has just the one. Come 2014, Labour's convinced it will win the lot.
But the Maori Party has set down a challenge of its own, saying Labour won't be able to govern without it
"They haven't come through the speed wobbles in fact if they looked at the polls they've got more worries than we have," says Maori Party MP Te Ururoa Flavell.
The Maori Party has its own troubles. First an ongoing leadership struggle but also a perception among some at Ratana - and throughout Maoridom - aren't thrilled with its alliance with National.
So not only has Labour chosen the Maori Party's patch to lay down the gauntlet, it's chosen to strike when the party's at its weakest

NEW YORK (Jul. 30)

In a statement released by its temporary chairman, Dean Ernest O. Melby, the Council said that "full civil rights can best be won in each man's backyard" and that the "American heritage of civil rights must be kept before the American people as a non-partisan, non-political issue." Among those comprising the Council are former Governor Herbert. Lehman, Herbert Bayard Swope, Gerard Swope, Judge Joseph M. Proskauer, New York State Attorney General Nathaniel L. Goldstein, Morris L. Ernst, Rabbi William F. Rosenblum, Justice Meir Steinbrink, Albert Lasker and Leo Cherne.

Making your espresso has never looked better than with the DeLonghi kMix series. Available in eight colors, with most being on the vibrant side, the kMix espresso maker comes in a compact form that will work on any kitchen counter or office coffee room. 15 bar pressure, simple dials and clean design make the work for most. While no where near a true "super automatic" espresso unit, the kMix is great for daily pulls and even better as eye candy. A solid gift at around $270.
More looks after the click.

Just when electroclash was becoming a punch line and dance music threatened to turn moribund again, along came Ed Banger Records to give it another swift kick in the ass. Postmodern and ice-cool, the label's signature sound is equal parts electro-tech-house, hip-hop swagger, and punk-rock attitude and distortion. Its biggest stars include a barely legal nymphet who spits double-entendres over her boyfriend's bumping beats (Uffie). Then there are a couple of guys who shred indie hits into dance workouts and often perform in front of a flashing cross (Justice). In short, Ed Banger can seem like something of a circus.
Pedro Winter, AKA Busy P, is the ringleader, running the label from a small office in Paris's hilly Montmartre neighborhood, where he has also lived for about a decade. The 31-year-old's English is flawless but musically accented and infused with a typically French, dry, world-weary wit. With long, shaggy hair and a wardrobe heavy on psychedelic-print hoodies and thrift-store oddities, even his appearance reflects the Ed Banger fuck-you to the world of slick, corporate dinosaur DJs.
"The mix between rock and electro is not new," Winter says. "The Rapture and DFA did it a few years ago. What they did was really rock for dance people. We are making dance music that rocks people. The music we are publishing is mostly electronic music made on a computer but the parties we throw look more like rock concerts, with people stage-diving, than a rave."
Busy P
Busy P first performs Wednesday, March 21, at the Damaged party at the Mark, 500 South Pointe Dr, Miami Beach; call 305-531-0185.
He performs Friday, March 23, at the Stones Throw Records party at the Raleigh Hotel, 1775 Collins Ave, Miami Beach. The free party goes from 1:00 to 10:00 p.m. Call 305-534-6300, or visit www.raleighhotel.com.
That night, Busy P appears again at the Fixed party, presented by Revolver. Other Ed Banger artists appearing there are So ME, DJ Mehdi, Sebastian, and Justice. The event takes place at Studio A, 60 NE 11th St, Miami. Doors open at 9:00 p.m., and tickets cost $20 for those 21 and over. Call 305-358-7625, or visit www.studioamiami.com.

As a producer, Busy P infuses his own tracks with a heavy dose of hip-hop sass as well. Built around breaks sometimes pushed to breakneck speed, sample after chirping sample orders dancers into various body formations before cutting away to a guitarlike crunch or a squelching acid line. The result is irresistibly cheeky, down to song titles like "Colette, c'est chouette" (Colette being the high-minded Paris design/lifestyle store and chouette being a very uncool way to say something is cool).
As trendy as his sound and stable may be among early adopters with expensive bedhead, Winter is convinced of their staying power.
"I am here to propose something we will be able to talk about in five or ten years," he says. "We have a lot of influences from rock but also from hip-hop. We are a big mix of stuff instead of only putting together electronic music and rock, which was electroclash. It's like the ingredients of a pizza. Electroclash, that was like a two-topping pizza. But we, we have many ingredients; we are a king pizza!"

I Had Open Rhino 7 Weeks Ago Now Nose is Twisted?
Doctor Answers 1
Unsatisfied With Rinoplasty Results
I am sorry that you had a bad experience after your rhinoplasty.
Nonetheless, at 7 weeks post-surgery, I believe it is too early to assess the final results of your procedure since they take about 12 months to be full established usually.
That being said, I recommend that you communicate with your surgeon as he knows the full details of your surgery.
Without photos (before/after) and physical examination, it is hard to know the causes behind what you have described.
In case a corrective surgery was needed, you should wait till you achieve a certain level of recovery: usually at about 6 months post-op.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your inquiry and the best of luck to you.

University budgeting isn't a subject usually associated with passionate, community-wide discussion. GW's Innovation Task Force, however, is changing that.
Over the past six months, the ITF has solicited a range of ideas from the GW community for increasing the university's effectiveness, efficiency and innovation. Its members met biweekly to analyze and refine these innovative ideas, eventually narrowing the field to nine finalists:
• Executive Education - Develop and implement a series of contemporary seminars for executives with topics drawn from various university-wide disciplines.
• Healthy Campus - Deploy a comprehensive health management and wellness program for GW employees.
• Building Energy Efficiency Program - Create a comprehensive campus capital improvements energy project aimed at maximizing energy efficiency.
• January Term - Establish a three-week, intensive January term between the fall and winter semesters.
• International Summer - Develop an intensive summer community experience for international students.
• Master's Degree in Research Administration - Create a new academic program in research administration.
• ESL Center - Establish a new intensive language training program coordinated by a new English as a Second Language Center.
• Improve Retention Rate - Enhance the GW student experience by implementing a strategic university-wide retention program.
• Bachelor's Degree Weekend College - Create an accelerated, executive-style undergraduate degree completion program for working adults with classes delivered on weekends.
The finalist ideas are intended to identify new sources of revenue as well as reduce costs. Yet they are, as Provost Steven Lerman said at the Foggy Bottom Campus showcase on Wednesday, "not a budget-cutting exercise."
Rather, the savings generated by these projects will remain with GW, reinvested in its academic priorities. Community participation is key to the ITF vision, and the success of its proposed projects depends, in large part, on widespread and enthusiastic participation, he said.
In two Showcases of Ideas this week – one on GW's Virginia Science and Technology Campus and the other on the Foggy Bottom Campus – the committee took its final list to the GW community for feedback and fine-tuning. Six will eventually be selected for implementation.
At nine tables, one for each project in the final round, groups of students, staff and faculty discussed the implications, drawbacks and feasibility of the ITF's proposals.
Suggestions ranged from the concrete to the conceptual. Focused on the proposaed campus-wide health initiative, for example, participants discussed broad ways to unify the initiative's goals, but also proposed specific refinements -- like faculty- and staff-specific gym classes and improved access to preventative care. At a "New Idea" table, community members discussed needs they felt were unmet by the final list of proposals.
The showcases are "invaluable," says Dave Lawlor, co-chair of the ITF Steering Committee, in that they help the committee target "key assumptions and questions" before choosing which projects will be put into practice.
So far, the model has been successful. The $17.5 million in savings and revenue enhancements identified to date will be augmented by the proposals outlined at the showcases this week, said Mr. Lawlor.

Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds have called it quits after just two weeks of marriage!
"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further. While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends," the couple said in a statement.
The couple said "I do" on a romantic beach in Bora Bora on New Year's Day. This was a second trip down the aisle for both the bride and groom. Murphy, best known for his roles in Beverly Hills Cop called it quits with his first wife after 13 years and Edmonds was married to Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.

Romania secured their first victory in UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying Group 9 thanks to goals against Latvia either side of the break from Nicolae Stanciu and George Ţucudean.
Stanciu latched onto Gheorghe Grozav's pass to open the scoring six minutes before half-time and the hosts doubled their lead on 52 minutes when Ţucudean lifted the ball over the onrushing Kristaps Dzelme superbly.
After drawing their opening two qualifiers against Kazakhstan, Romania seemed determined to make their mark against Latvia. They did just that on 39 minutes as Grozav found Stanciu in space to give the hosts the lead. Paul Anton almost extended the advantage in first-half added time but his long-range effort came back off the bar.
Emil Săndoi's side grabbed a second when Gabriel Enache flicked goalkeeper Dinu Moldovan's long ball into the path of Ţucudean and the FC Dinamo Bucureşti forward showed his class with a fine lob over Dzelme. Latvia's Alans Siņeļņikovs came close to getting his side back into the match only for his effort to come back off the frame of the goal 15 minutes from time. Both sides are back in action on 11 October when Romania host France and Latvia entertain Slovakia.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The most celebrated Dallas Cowboys performance this week had nothing to do with the NFL draft.
The city's biggest brand instead starred at the Republican National Committee's spring meetings, where promoters of Dallas' bid for the next GOP presidential convention relied on two pompom-wielding Cowboys cheerleaders to wow top officials.
Between the giant "B" and "G" letters that are part of Dallas' popular marketing campaign, the duo posed for countless photos at the Peabody Hotel. That was only part of an extensive effort to ensure a spot in the final cut of convention contenders.
The rival cities also turned up the charm — beer baron Pete Coors even served up brews at a Denver shindig. But the Dallas event turned predictably into a Texas-size affair, with a long line of GOPers ditching the Beale Street music district for a slice of Big D.
Party leaders remained tight-lipped, saying it will be a week or two before the site selection committee decides which cities will receive "official" visits. But GOP brass, including chairman Reince Priebus, lavished praise on Dallas.
"Dallas is doing a lot of things right," he said. "A lot of people are excited about it."
While Dallas organizers previously have tempered expectations — often referring to the city as the underdog that was late to the competition — the Texas bunch is starting to flex its muscles.
"I would be shocked if we are not in the top two," said Darren Temple, chief sales officer at the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, which is heading the city's bid. "And we're still swinging for the fences."
Dallas is battling Denver, Las Vegas, Cleveland, Kansas City and Cincinnati to host the four-day nominating convention in the summer of 2016.
The city's fundraising prowess, ample hotel stock and Republican-friendly electorate have positioned it as an appealing choice. One sticking point is a potential schedule conflict with the NBA or NHL playoffs. That could limit the GOP's preparation time at American Airlines Center.
Convention doubters warn of security risks, traffic nightmares and unexpected costs to taxpayers.
Let the games begin
Whichever city secures the convention will lay claim to an event — expected to attract 50,000 people — that amounts to nothing less than a spectacle. And jockeying for that honor has proved an extravaganza of its own.
Cities' representatives have been schmoozing with GOP leaders for months. "Technical site visits" — supposed to be relatively low-key, fact-finding missions — have turned into displays of elaborate showmanship as bidders have tried to one-up one another.
The RNC's meetings took the competition to another level. As if to underscore the stakes, speculation was rampant Thursday that three front-runners had emerged: Dallas, Denver and Cleveland.
Never mind that the site selection committee didn't even meet until Friday — and then only to discuss reports from the technical visits, Republican officials said.
"I'd actually heard that we made the decision," committee chairwoman Enid Mickelsen said with a laugh, before making clear that a decision on official visits wouldn't be made for at least another week.
Dallas was far from alone in going to extra lengths at the Peabody, though Las Vegas didn't make a highly visible splash. Kansas City and Cincinnati had strong contingents, along with local goodies to share with GOPers.
Denver threw its bash on Wednesday, replete with bottomless Coors and a lively band. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson hosted a reception Thursday, though attendance was a bit dampened by the event overlapping with the Peabody's famous "Duck March."
The march features trained ducks walking between the hotel lobby's fountain and their "Royal Duck Palace" on the roof. Though it might not sound awe-inspiring, the twice-daily routine always draws a big crowd.
Dallas ambassadors
Dallas' wooing — at its party at the Corner Bar and beyond — wasn't limited to Cowboys cheerleaders Kelsey Lauren and Brittney Schram. The city's team also presented GOP officials with Lucite convention "tickets" — one side from the 1984 GOP convention in Dallas and the other from the planned 2016 version.
But judging by the long line to pose for a photo with Lauren and Schram, there was no questioning the main draw.
Priebus showed up early, realized the cheerleaders weren't there yet, left, then returned an hour later to snag his snapshot. Even the Peabody's duckmaster, Anthony Petrina — normally the star attraction — stopped by to meet the cheerleaders.
Some, including Mickelsen, were a bit bemused by all the attention paid to the duo.
"Does this happen to them in Dallas?" she said. "I've gotten the biggest kick out of it."
Other key officials — such as Bill Harris, who's run three conventions, and Greg Lane of Freeman, a longtime Dallas-based contractor for the RNC — also spent significant time at Dallas' party. The city was the talk of many GOP national committee members.
One part of the bid that's emerged as a possible key is AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Officials revealed last month that it was being considered for perhaps opening or closing events, though American Airlines Center would probably still be the main site.
Mickelsen said the GOP's operation team was impressed by the mammoth stadium when they toured it during the technical site visit.
"There's nothing like it anywhere in the world," said Mickelsen, a former Utah congresswoman.
Though Mickelsen wouldn't reveal how she's leaning, she said she has realized there's no such thing as a "perfect city." And while she was careful to spread around praise to all the competitors, she singled out Dallas for its passion.
"The people in Dallas put together a wonderful presentation," she said. "Your city has so much to offer, and we recognize the great enthusiasm."
