Bartlett begins rehab assignment at Fort Myers
MINNEAPOLIS -- Utility man Jason Bartlett, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left foot, officially began his rehab assignment with Class A Advanced Fort Myers on Thursday.
Bartlett, who sprained his ankle sliding into home on April 6 and was placed on the DL the next day, had already been playing in extended spring games before joining Fort Myers on Thursday.
Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said the Twins haven't determined how many games Bartlett will play before being activated from the DL. But he also noted that Bartlett is expected to also see time at Triple-A Rochester as part of his rehab assignment.
"I think he needs at-bats," Antony said. "We'll play it by ear. We have 20 days, but I'm not sure if we'll use them all or not. But he feels good and feels healthy, and is ready to play in games with the Miracle. We'd also like to get him to Rochester at some point."

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chargers
Lost all respect for him when he had that needle in his ass. Been average at best since he's been clean.
Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chargers
Ok, so here are my thoughts after watching through the game.
1) Kudos to Frank Walker tonight. We've all given him a LOT of shit this pre-season. But when Washington went down SD specifically picked on him with that throw to Naane, and Walker never gave up on it. He definately helped save the game tonight. So for this week, I tip my hat to him.
2) Despite what I said above, I am REALLY worried about our pass defense. 436 yards given up this week? 436 PASS YARDS??? Are you kidding me??? Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates had good days. Sproles did too, but that's not deep pass. Sproles is Sproles. All we could have hoped to do is contain his rushing, which we did.
3) Speaking of which, why are teams still trying to run on us?
4) Flacco was once again solid tonight. 65% passing, 2TD's, 1INT. Look, I knew he wasn't putting a triple up against the Chargers like he did KC. But I'll take 190 yards. He was mobile, and the offensive line did another solid job of protecting him.
5) I'm still going to remain worried about our receiving core and you guys are just going to have to stay mad at me. 1 catch (and 1 drop) for Todd Heap. 1 catch for all-pro Mark Clayton. 3 catches for 31 yards for Derrick Mason. 0 catches for Demetrius Williams, who I can't even remember if he was in the game anywhere.
Let me put it this way. All three of our running backs registered more catches than our number 2 receiver. And once again Ray Rice led the team in catches and had more yards than our number 2 receiver. I'm sorry, this is still a concern for me.
That said, big tip of the cap to Kelley Washington. It's been a pretty nice surprise for our team. That touchdown where Flacco fake-draw-fake-to-clayton and Washington was wide open was great. And when needed, Washington got the yards to move the chains.
6) Our running game. DAYIM!!!!!! Willis came up big today. And I don't how Ray Rice only had 36 yards because it seemed like he had more. Can we get this kid a touchdown please?? Serious, can we just gift him one? Because he's earned it. And so much for McClain being the feature fullback this year. They still like to give him the ball.
7) Can we leave Hauschka alone for at least this week now? :)
8) Ray Lewis. 10 tackles, 2 assists, 1 forced fumble, and helped force the interception in the second half. Nothing more needs to be said.
Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chargers
Oh I forgot
9) Fuck you Dan Fauts
10) Fuck you bad officiating. There were some horrible calls tonight, and bad spots.

Photo of the Day: Chilean Churros
From April 13 to 19, I traveled around Chile with two other American food journalists on a culinary media trip. Here's another snapshot from that week. —Robyn Lee
Having only been exposed to the skinny, sugar-coated, star-shaped variety of churros, I was surprised when I came across the completely different looking Chilean version at a bakery in Temuco. A churro in Chile is like an elongated hot dog bun-shaped doughnut sandwich filled with a layer of golden dulce de leche. The dough of this churro was a bit on the heavy side, but I can't say no to sweet bread slathered in sweet, creamy goodness. Not until I get diabetes, at least.

Academic study wargames using U.S. troops to quell revolution
"An academic study about the future use of the military as a peacekeeping force within the United States written by a retired Army Colonel depicts a shocking scenario in which the U.S. Army is used to restore order to a town that has been seized by Tea Party "insurrectionists".
The paper, entitled Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A "Vision" of the Future, was written by Kevin Benson and Jennifer Weber. Retired Colonel Benson, a seminar leader at the University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, also served with the 5th Infantry Division, the 1st Armored Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, XVIII Airborne Corps and Third U.S. Army. Weber is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Kansas.
The paper begins by emphasizing how the U.S. Army's Operating Concept 2016-2028 dictates that the military's "full spectrum operations" will include "operations within American borders."
A scenario in which a group of "political reactionaries," later described as "Tea Party insurrectionists" forcibly take control of a strategic town is then outlined."

DARRINGTON, Wash. (AP) � The rains that have bedeviled crews searching for victims in the debris field from the deadly Washington state mudslide are expected to ease this week, but searchers faced other challenges at the site like household chemicals
DARRINGTON, Wash. (AP) � The rains that have bedeviled crews searching for victims in the debris field from the deadly Washington state mudslide are expected to ease this week, but searchers faced other challenges at the site like household chemicals and sewage.
The number of confirmed dead has increased from 18 to 21, Jason Biermann, program manager at the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, said Sunday evening.
Fifteen of the victims have been identified by the Snohomish County medical examiner, and six have yet to be identified, Biermann said. Another four bodies were found Sunday, but they won�t be added to the official count until the medical examiner receives them. Biermann said 30 people remain missing.
The March 22 landslide, one of the deadliest in U.S. history, struck a rural community about 55 miles northeast of Seattle.
Crews have completed a makeshift road that will link one side of the debris field to the other, significantly aiding the recovery operation. They have also been working to clear mud and debris from the highway, leaving piles of gooey muck, splintered wood and housing insulation on the sides of the road.
Searchers have had to contend with treacherous conditions, including septic tanks, gasoline and propane containers. When rescuers and dogs leave the site, they are hosed off by hazardous materials crews.
�We�re worried about dysentery, we�re worried about tetanus, we�re worried about contamination,� said Lt. Richard Burke of the Bellevue Fire Department, an on-site spokesman. �The last thing we want to do is take any of these contaminants out of here and take them into town.�
The slide dammed up the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, causing water to pool up on the east side. The river cut a new channel through the mud, but the rain has raised the water level nearly a foot, said Kris Rietmann, a spokeswoman for the team working on the eastern portion of the slide.
In at least one place, the water level got so high that it covered areas that have already been searched, said Tim Pierce, leader of Washington Task Force 1, a search-and-rescue team.
Searchers should get some relief soon. Conditions improved Sunday, and mainly dry weather is forecast Monday through Wednesday in western Washington.
�That�s good news for our crews in the field, who have been working in extremely wet conditions,� Biermann said.
The size of the debris field is also smaller than initially thought, officials said Sunday. After review and analysis, geologists have determined it is about 300 acres � just under half the size of an earlier projection of 1 square mile.
Away from the whirring chain saws and roaring bulldozers, many residents of nearby Darrington sought comfort in Sunday church services.
�I can only compare it to a hot, hearty meal after a very cold day,� said Slava Botamanenko, who works at the hospital in Arlington. He said he spent two nights there to be sure he was available for work after the mudslide blocked the road.
All week, a steady stream of people has stopped in to pray at the Glad Tidings Assembly of God on the edge of town, said Lee Hagen, the senior pastor.
�At a time like this, everybody knows they�ve got to have God�s help,� he said.
At the St. John Mary Vianney Catholic church a few blocks away, the Rev. Tim Sauer said: �Bless our communities, bless our people, bless our valley.�
Baumann reported from Seattle.

Why rainy, dreary days are the best time to shop for a house.
January 14, 2013
Today's weather forecast in my area calls for rain and plunging temperatures. Already, the weather outside is deteriorating. Listening to my radio, I just heard an interview with a real estate person on this rainy, dreary day. He made a side comment to the effect that today was "probably not a good day to go look at a house."
I disagree. I think that rainy, dreary days are the best time to look at a house. You can see where the water drains, you can tell if there is a leaky roof, etc. Looking at a house on a rainy day might even be a way to show the owner that you are a serious buyer. After all, who would be out looking at house on a day like today except serious buyers?

Avayah Photography
I am a wedding photographer specializing in high end weddings. I am absolutely a girly girl and I love everything that sparkles. My business colors are black white and tiffany blue but I am considering pink because it's my absolute favorite color. I love damask and scrolly things. I am looking for something clean and modern but very feminine and elegant. I would like my logo to only be one color maybe two...give me your best shot :)
I am targeting high end brides who want to invest in their photography. I am looking for people who care about the finer things and are very in to all of the little details. They are people who care about making their wedding memorable and beautiful as much as I do.
I want Avayah to become a brand... The word Photography doesn't necessarily have to be in the logo. I want it to be instantly recognizable and unique. I don't want any cutesie flowers or hearts just something classy and elegant...try keeping it simple with only one or two colors. I am also going for something whimsical and fun just with a more tailored presence than a frilly children's store logo.

Swim run events are great endurance challenges – and a super fun way to enjoy a summer's day. The number one event in the world is the Ötillö Swim Run World Championship in Stockholm's archipelago in September. In Ötillö, teams of two will open-water swim and trail run a distance of 75 km across 26 islands.
To make the challenge even bigger, the competitors have to carry everything they need with them through out the race, which results in some interesting and novel gear solutions – they swim with their running shoes and run in wetsuits.
German Armin Hummel and Finn Juha Lindfors are preparing for their third attempt at one of the toughest endurance challenges in the world.
Here Armin and Juha share six useful tips to get you through your swim-run more smoothly. Enjoy!
Less is more
"Focus on what is really needed. In Ötillö, there are plenty of feed stations along the way – though sometimes it can be a lengthy break between them. Make sure you take enough drinks and food at the feed stations. It will be a looong day!"
"You can take some fuel with you if you can carry it, but at least for us there is no need for a hydration pack. A soft flask might be a good idea as it can be stuffed inside your wetsuit once empty. If you need to worry about a backpack you probably aren't focusing on the race."
Practice the transitions
"Train switching from running to swimming, and the other way round. There are many transitions and if you spend an extra minute at each, you end up losing a whole hour. Quick transitions are also a key reason to minimize equipment."
Choose the right shoes
"Your swim-run shoes and socks should be fast drying and comfortable also when they are wet. Good grip on slippery, wet rocks is essential."
"We have tried regular running shoes, trail running shoes and trail running shoes with spikes. Shoes without spikes seem to work better for us on the rocks. So this year both of us will be using trail running shoes without spikes."
Don't swim any extra distance
"Make sure you always look for the point where you will get out of water. Sometimes currents can be strong and, if you don´t look frequently, you can be off-course quite fast. Frequent position checks are important, especially on the long swims."
"As it is a pair sport, it might also be enough that one navigates and the other one follows. Consider this especially, if one in your team is clearly a stronger swimmer."
Consider using paddles and pull buoys
"The first time we raced Ötillö we used pull buoys to improve buoyancy, but last year we didn't. We are still experimenting on this. We are not sure if there is a benefit for us. "
"Generally you need to be a really strong swimmer to swim without pull buoys, as shoes are on all the time. Well, some do actually take their shoes off at least for the longer swims."
"Paddles give you extra force especially when there are waves and currents. However make sure you train with them before so your shoulders are used to the extra stress."
Always move, never stop
"In Ötillö, there is lots of running. Try to maintain a steady pace rather than going superfast in the beginning and then not making it in the end. If you start walking, it is hard to get back to running again."
"Make also sure that you don´t go off-track and follow the markers. We use our Suunto Ambit3's to know the distances during stages."

When I first played and completed Halo I was about to get married. Tony Blair was the UK Prime Minster, George Bush was in the White House and the Apple iPod had just been announced. The Xbox 360 wasn't even a twinkle in Microsoft's eye not coming for another four years.
So it is a strange nostalgia trip 10 years later to be playing the same levels once again, albeit on a new console, a much bigger TV, married, with the kids tucked up in bed. Gosh, a lot has happened since then.
That lot has seen a number of changes to the Halo game, and a number of features remain the same. Think of this as a Redux version if you will.
For all intents and purposes the game is identical. The storyline, the voices, the poor game physics and the rather stupid Covenant are all still present. What's different is that you can play it on the Xbox 360 for the first time, it has had a massive graphics overhaul, and that you even get a 3D mode thrown in even though the Xbox 360 still isn't officially supporting 3D - we suppose it is now.
Nostaliga time
10 minutes in and we are already feeling a sense of déjà vu. We've been here before, on the same sofa sitting next to the same Mrs Pocket-lint dodging through dark service corridors to flank the invading aliens, on a spaceship that is in trouble. The only difference is that our trouser size is beer belly has grown.
The new graphics, it has to be said are a vast improvement. The walls have texture, the explosions and fire more explosive.
The controls are the same though, and it is fascinating how the moves come flooding back. X to reload, hold down the fire to get the secondary fire on the alien weapons. We love it.
15 minutes in and we've started to mess around with the Nostalgia button as we are calling it.
So keen to show you how the developers, 343 Industries, have worked to improve the graphics to 2011 levels (it's more 2009 to be honest) you can switch between what it looked like on the Xbox and the remastered version today all at the press of a button.
You can dash between the two modes at any time by pressing the select button and waiting a couple of seconds for the code to switch over.
Yep it's something that you are unlikely to use in the thick of battle (you'll end up dead), but at the same time it's going to be incredibly handy justifying to Mrs Pocket-lint - that's exactly what we did - why you've just spent another £35 ($39.99) on a game you've previously owned and previously completed.
An hour in and you're racing around a now far more impressive looking beach on the Warthog sliding as you do as if you are half eaten hamburger being slid across an ice rink. Yes the warthog is still a dog to drive.
Two hours in, and the boring repetitiveness of the game that was so cutting edge starts to take sink in. The nostalgia, like thinking it is a good idea to download the original Sonic on your phone, sets in and you realise that videogames have moved on, moved on a lot. Unless you really have the horn for Master Chief there are better things to be doing with your life and your cash.
Kinect support
Trying to deviate from that notion that it is all a waste of time Microsoft have added Kinect support into the mix. Those who own the Xbox 360 accessory will be able to use the sensor to throw grenades, switch between classic and modern graphics, activate Analyze Mode (for the final scenes inside the Halo), and more.
Sadly we've as yet been able to try out Kinect integration, as the feature isn't being added by Microsoft until after launch, but Microsoft tell us that gamers will be able to reload weapons or throw grenades using their voice. We will update this part of the review shortly.
Single player done and dusted – you'll know all the shortcuts so it won't take you long you get to venture into new ground – you'll move on to Multiplayer maps.
While the succeeding Halo titles added multiplayer support, the 2001 original on the Xbox didn't (it was pre-Xbox Live). That's all changed however with multiplayer support added.
For starters you can relive the nostalgia with a mate via Co-op mode fighting against the Covenant as if it was Halo 2.
But thankfully that's not all. You also get six detailed remakes of the most loved Halo multiplayer maps, plus a new map thrown in for good measure.
The maps are remastered in the Halo: Reach engine and inspired by maps from Halo and Halo 2.
For those foaming at the mouth, the maps are Damination, Beaver Creek, Prisoner, Timerbland, Headlong, Hang 'Em High, and Installation 04.
If you've played Halo: Reach and wee suspect you will have, you'll know what to expect.
10 years is a long time, especially for the world of gaming and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary shows that.
Re-releasing a Hollywood classic is okay because the basic premise of making movies hasn't changed. Blade Runner in the cinema today is still as good as Blade runner in the cinema almost 30 years ago.
However with games, the industry is so fast paced, the technology so fast moving, that Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary comes across as a nostalgia trip and not much more.
The addition of the new graphics and multiplayer support go some way to glossing over that fact that this a 10 year old game coming back for seconds. The storyline is still strong. Halo fans will will still see this as the most exciting thing to hit the console this Christmas, however for the rest of us, fond memories are meant, sometimes, to be just that.

It could be a question for Larry David in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm: Did Bill Clinton endorse Gavin Newsom out of spite?
Clinton visited the Golden State on Monday to make his pick for California governor official -- although it's been known for weeks that the former president was backing San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who provided pit-bull like support of Hillary Clinton during her unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid.
But Clinton also has a negative history with state Attorney General Jerry Brown, Newsom's key democratic rival. Brown ran against Clinton for the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination -- and the campaign turned ugly.
Brown accused Clinton, then governor of Arkansas, of "funneling money to his wife's law firm for state business."
U.S. & World
Clinton responded: "I don't care what you say about me, but you ought to be ashamed of yourself for jumping all over my wife. You're not worthy being on the same platform as my wife."
Newsom downplayed that feud in the days after the endorsement was made public, but pundits speculate it continued after Clinton was elected.
No matter the motivation, the San Francisco mayor needs all the help he can get. Newsom has lagged in both polls and fund raising efforts in the 2010 gubernatorial race.
Brown hasn't even officially announced he's running, but has seven times the money in his campaign coffers compared to Newsom. He also has the name recognition across the state, having served as governor from 1975 to 1983.
The Newsom campaign hopes Mr. Clinton can help change all that. The two made a joint appearance at Los Angeles City College Monday afternoon.
Clinton will also host a fundraiser Monday night at the Biltmore Hotel.
Many political insiders see this as a make-or-break week for the San Francisco mayor.
A recent poll by David Binder shows Brown leading Newsom, even among San Franciscans, 51 percent to 34 percent.
Newsom said his low poll numbers were because he doesn't have the name recognition Brown does.
Each of them hopes to succeed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will be termed out of office in November 2010.
One footnote here: For the first time in decades, no matter who wins the governor's race they will have strong ties to the Bay Area. All of the candidates are from Northern California. Brown lives in the Oakland Hills while Newsom lives in the city. The republican candidates also all live in the Bay Area.

Danny and Grateful Dead -Fillmore 1970
I'm sure there's a thread like this on this board, but I was reading the posts on one archived bulletin board and it was like unraveling a mystery as people put together different clues to establish that Danny was playing with The Grateful Dead live at Fillmore east February 11, 1970. They are pointing out Fleetwood Mac membrs and debating whether Danny joined in or not. The posts go back several years, but the most recent is from last month.
Here's a smattering from the ongoing discussion.
Arthur Lee of Love adds percussion to the Dark Star. The third guitarist audible starting about 2:30 into Dark Star and for several minutes thereafter is Peter Green. Duane Allman on slide guitar enters around the middle of Dark Star. Gregg Allman adds organ & vocals during Lovelight, and Barry Oakley plays a second bass on Lovelight. Richard Pipes believes Fleetwood Mac-member Danny Kirwan's guitar is also to be discerned in the background. The encore is acoustic Dead, with only one acoustic guitar. The timings are from the AUD supplemented by the SBD. The Allman Bros and Love were also on the bill.
That is Danny on stage. He even plays a few power chords somewhere in Lovelight. It's definitely to blonde to be Phil and you can see Berry Oakley on stage too which means Phil is sitting it out. I haven't listened to the entire show yet so I'm not sure what rating I should give it but with the all star lineup I'll give it a five star rating.
[Notes from Searching for the Sound] Mick Fleetwood and Danny Kirwan find room to join the festivities
Based on a picture in the "The Deadhead's Tape Compendium Volume 1," the following people were on stage: Mick Fleetwood-dancing, Peter Green-guitar, Pigpen-vocals, Bob Weir-guitar/vocals, Danny Kirwin-guitar, Gregg Allman-organ/vocals, Jerry Garcia-guitar, Bill Kreutzmann-drum kit, Berry Oakley-bass, Butch Trucks-drum kit, Duane Allman-guitar, Mickey Hart-percussion. Phil Lesh is not pictured. The photo is likely of "Lovelight." I just found a link to the CD cover with the photo: http://www.geocities.com/deadpieshop...00211_back.jpg
as with all live tapes one can wish for completeness. what was there of dark star was great. lovelight was sublime. peter green, duane allman, danny, dickey and bob being sheparded by jerry into musical bliss. Don't you wish you could go back in time. great Me and my uncle
Here is a similar discussion on this board: http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...=fillmore+1970
Ok, 5+ years down the road and another "fine toothed comb" perusal of this photo from back on that other thread, I had mistakenly identified the blonde guitarist in front of Gregg Allman's organ as Duane, but THAT is actually Danny Kirwan. And, I'd identified the person behind drummer Bill Kreutzman as Allman Bros bassist Berry Oakley...that actually is Duane Allman.
So again, from left to right along front of stage:
Mick Fleetwood (arms raised), Peter Green, Ron "Pig-Pen" McKernan, Bob Weir, Danny Kirwan, Gregg Allman.
Left to right rear of stage:
Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzman (drums), Duane Allman, "unknown tambourine player", Butch Trucks (drummer with hat), Phil Lesh....and probably Mickey Hart with back to camera (waving drumstick) to the right of Gregg Allman
Among God's creations, two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes in order not to be separated from the man.---Andres Segovia
So it's settled. This has been like dissecting frames 313-315 of the Zapruder film.
The reason many have doubted that Danny was onstage that night was that you could barely hear him on the non-official boot. Owsley Stanley gave Peter some time during "Dark Star", then the focus shifted to Jerry Garcia, and later Duane Allman. During the "Spanish Jam", the bass is definitely Phil (nobody else plays like that), so the picture is somewhere in the half hour span of the "Lovelight" jam. In Lovelight, Peter gets his guitar mixed back into the song somewhere during the middle of the song, in fact I think he sings Pigpen's rap. At least I think that's Green's voice.
It's ashame this was never a Dick's Picks selection. It would've solved the mystery of the missing gap in "Dark Star", if the archives had it intact. As for historical importance, only Peter Green FM fans would care. There were plenty of other Allman Brothers/Grateful Dead encounters. The best was probably 6/73 at RFK in Washington D.C.. Without set breaks, that concert clocks in at around four hours. So to be there, it was at least a six hour concert experience. That's called getting your money's worth.
Since we are on the subject of "jams", has anyone heard the Clapton/Green jam from the Boston Tea Party 1970 at sugarmegs.org? Thoughts?

The Grateful Dead Jams With Duane And Gregg Allman & Fleetwood Macs Peter Green, On This Day In 1970
Opening as the counterpart to San Franciscos Fillmore Auditorium in March of 1968, legendary concert promoter Bill Grahams New York City venue, The Fillmore East, served as one of the cogs of live music in the late 60s and early 70s. Dubbed the Church of Rock and Roll for good reason, Graham had a knack of uniting some of the most unique and explosive artists of the generation under the same roof, including John Lennon, Frank Zappa, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. On February 11th, 1970, Graham booked a now-legendary triple-billing of San Francisco fixtures: the Grateful Dead, Los Angeles psych-rockers Love, and a relatively unknown group from the Atlanta area, the Allman Brothers Band.
Though the Allmans and Dead had met some months prior at the first Atlanta Pop Festival, it wouldnt be until the bands 1970 Fillmore East show that the two iconic jam bands collaborated on stage. The Allman Brothers set that night included classic tunes like In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, Trouble No More, Blind Willie McTells Statesboro Blues, Willie Dixons Hoochie Coochie Man, and the always gargantuan instrumental that is Mountain Jam.
Playing both an early and late show, as was customary at the Fillmore East, the Grateful Dead began their set with an intense The Other One segued into Cryptical Envelopment before finishing up with Dire Wolf and Casey Jonestwo tracks that would appear on the release of the Deads country music inspired album, Workingmans Dead, later that year. Not Fade Away was used as a launch pad for the rest of the smoking set, which also included another pair of Workingmans cuts, Cumberland Blues and High Times.
Beginning with the cornerstone jam in any Deads vocabulary, Dark Star, the band settled into the true meat of the show. For this rendition, the band featured the mesmerizing slide guitar from Duane Allman, which was later augmented further when Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac (who was not on the bill that night, but had been a fan of the Deads since playing with them in San Francisco in June 1968) and Loves Arthur Lee (percussion) were added into the mix.
As the Dark Star jam built and boiled with the three guitar players on stage, the song gave way to a rare Miles Davis-inspired Spanish Jam with the ABBs Gregg Allman sliding in onto the organ bench. Finally, as Pigpen busts into a raging Turn On Your Lovelight, Gregg gets in on the party to trade vocals with Pigpen on this show-stopper. You can listen to this unreal collaborative performance from February 11, 1970, below.
Setlist: Grateful Dead | The Fillmore East | New York, NY | 2/11/1970
Early Show: The Other One > Cryptical Envelopment, Dire Wolf, Casey Jones

In the realm of making video games, second chances can often be as hard to come by as great third-party software at a system's launch. Proof positive of the latter part of this statement is the original Red Steel for the Wii. With dreams of realistic swordfights and gun battles fueled by precise motion controls dancing through their heads, many early adopters of the Wii also picked up a copy of this promising shooter.
Unfortunately, whether constrained by the limitations of the hardware, meeting the system's launch date, or by the motion controllers themselves, Red Steel was the first game for many Wii owners that made them doubt the viability of motion-controlled games of this nature. That being said, the game was very ambitious and did contain some good ideas, which thankfully work out much better in the series' second effort.
Unlike most games with a '2' in their title, Red Steel 2 feels much more like a complete reboot for the series rather than just a slightly more polished follow-up with a few new features. The setting for the sequel completely abandons the modern yakuza feel of the original in favor of a more East meets West type affair. The Eastern influences are there in terms of some of the architecture, enemies, and sword combat but how it is mixed with the Western components is what makes it feel so unique. Much of the game's visuals are very reminiscent of a spaghetti western with safes containing gold bars, cowboy hats, wanted posters, and tumbleweeds constantly helping to remind you that this is a very different world than that of the last Red Steel.
This time around you're also playing as a nameless character who apparently prefers to be a loner. Coming back from a lengthy exile, you find that the clan you belonged to has been completely wiped out except for you. As the last of the Kusagari it is up to you to discover who killed your friends and make them pay for it. While it's not the most original or well done story you'll ever experience, thankfully, it also isn't bad enough to take away from what will actually propel you through Red Steel 2's experience: the action-filled gameplay.
To call this game a first-person shooter (FPS) would be a horrible misrepresentation of that label. Although you do most certainly have a gun, and can utilize it whenever you like, using it to dispatch enemies is clearly not the focus of this game's combat. Gunshots are very rarely an effective way of killing enemies, usually working much better when used in conjunction with a healthy helping of your decidedly not red covered steel blade (thanks T rating). A well placed shot to the head or leg of a foe can cause them to get disoriented or drop to a knee, making them easy pickings for a sword combo or perhaps even a finishing maneuver. Switching between your gun and sword is also quite fast, which is definitely a blessing considering that if it took anything more than an instant, your guns would be almost completely worthless.
The swordplay absolutely takes center stage in Red Steel 2's combat and is also fairly responsive and enjoyable thanks to the use of the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the Wii Remote. It was definitely a risk making this game work exclusively with the MotionPlus attachment, but it certainly seems like it was the right choice. The way you hold your controller is directly mimicked on-screen, as is the speed at which you swing your sword. Swinging it gently will result in a light attack, better suited for the weaker enemies in the game. However, taking larger and faster swipes will do significantly more damage and be necessary when facing foes who wear armor.
Unfortunately, one-to-one swordplay still isn't an option here. Instead, the game will only recognize a few gestures and translate them to their corresponding attacks. Players can swipe left to right, right to left, down to up, up to down, and thrust the controller forwards in a stabbing motion. That's it; no diagonal slashes or Zorro Z's to be had. The straight up and down and left and right positions are also used for blocking, which does help to simplify the defensive side of combat quite a bit when used in conjunction with the A button to dodge attacks.

EISENBERG: You are well known for so many roles, Hollywood hits, "He's Just Not That Into You," "Galaxy Quest"...
LONG: Yes, thanks.
EISENBERG: You were on the TV series, "Ed."
LONG: Yes. Thank you.
EISENBERG: And, of course, you know, these very memorable Mac ads where you played the Mac.
LONG: The Mac, sure.
EISENBERG: The one that everyone rooted for.
LONG: In theory.
EISENBERG: In theory.
LONG: Yeah, before the backlash.
EISENBERG: What was the backlash?
LONG: Jonathan Franzen(ph) wrote a really interesting essay about the whole Mac versus PC marketing campaign and what it said about the current state of the world and how much disdain he had for it. But he - I'm also a huge fan so I was weirdly flattered to just be mentioned by him, even though it was - he called me insufferably smug.
Yeah. He said I played the part with insufferable smugness.
EISENBERG: Well, I think that was what the role demanded, yeah.
LONG: It kind of called for it.
EISENBERG: I mean, now, John Hodgman who played the PC, he broke away from his PC image by growing a mustache.
LONG: He did. And I remember the first time I saw him post - he said it was something he was trying to do, like an experiment, like he was growing something in a culture, like a Petri dish and it worked. And he's got a really - I don't know if you've seen him with his moustache, but it's really powerful. It's the opposite of this that I'm trying - you can't see at home, but I have this really disgusting kind of radiant pubic is what it's - how I like to describe it.
I have strong follicles, but they're sparse. You know, I don't have - so it creates a...
EISENBERG: Oh, my god. I have strong follicles, but they're sparse.
LONG: It's true. Franzen, you can quote me on that.
EISENBERG: That is like you have some confidence, but you're still working on your self-esteem with that. It's like a combination. Did you do anything specific to try to distance yourself from the Mac role?
LONG: Stopped working for a bit.
EISENBERG: That was that. You just laid low.
LONG: That helps.
EISENBERG: We all know you from being the star, the lead in all these Rom Coms(ph), right? And so when people, again, when you are dating...
LONG: Sounds really pathetic.
EISENBERG: ...do the women just assume you're going to be this great boyfriend?
LONG: Well, I hope not.
EISENBERG: Are you a good boyfriend? Are you a good boyfriend or are you a bad boyfriend? Let's be honest.
LONG: I think I'm pretty good.
EISENBERG: OK, good.
LONG: I think I'm - yeah, I mean, it sounds insufferably smug were I to say yes.
EISENBERG: Yeah. That's all right.
LONG: But I did a movie called "He's Just Not That Into You" which, hold for applause, hold for applause, wait, no, I'm kidding. but I would have a lot of - it was a big movie among a certain demographic of women and they would - a lot of them - and a few men, but they wouldn't admit it.
Anytime a guy would come up to me about that movie, they'd say - they'd look around like they buying crack, you know, like - or about to flash me or something. They'd be like, hey, man, I seen "He's Just Not That Into You, " I saw it. My wife made me see it. And it was always like my girlfriend or my wife made me watch it, but, you know, the people that would come up to me, I could spot them a mile away about that "He's Just Not That Into You" crowd.
Except for once, this guy, huge Hispanic guy, tattoos, like enormous, looked like a bouncer, came up to me and goes, man, man, I saw you in something. Where are you from? Oh, yeah, "He Ain't Feeling You No More." It took me a second.
EISENBERG: Yes. That is the sequel, I think, yeah. And you're very good at celebrity impressions or you are well known for being - you have a bunch.
LONG: I would disagree with of those statements, but...
EISENBERG: Really, interesting.
LONG: ...thank you. I love doing...
EISENBERG: Well, that's going to be a problem with what we for the show soon.
LONG: ...it's going to be a problem for our plan. I love doing them. I do love doing them and, you know, you start imitating teachers and trying to - I was a little pipsqueak so...
EISENBERG: Oh, you were the class clown?
LONG: ...I was the - yeah, classic. I mean, I won't even get into it 'cause it's so cliqued. And people I've worked with, you know, I like to pick up, especially people that I admire. That's why I do impression that, like, of Sam Rockwell or Cole Houser, you know, people that aren't necessarily go-tos for (unintelligible).
EISENBERG: All right. So here's what we're going to do based on that, Justin. We're going to bring you back later in the show for your own Ask Me Another challenge. But right now, I want to know if you would to use your celebrity impressions talent for a game with some contestants.
LONG: I would love it. Let's do it.
EISENBERG: All right. Fantastic. Justin Long, everybody. Let's welcome our next two contestants, Rich Steeves and Miriam Siddiq. Miriam, a movie buff as a child, you wanted to be the female Steven Spielberg; is that correct?
MIRIAM SIDDIQ: That's true, yeah.
EISENBERG: And you love reading true crime, which is interesting because Rich here is working out his - your third novel in a series?
RICH STEEVES: My third novel, yes, absolutely.
EISENBERG: And it's about...
STEEVES: A paranormal detective in Washington D.C.
EISENBERG: Yeah, that's right. This sounds good.
LONG: A great - it would make a great movie for Stephanie Spielberg.
EISENBERG: Exactly.
LONG: I think.
EISENBERG: Do either of you do impressions? Miriam?
SIDDIQ: I do a mean Nicholas Cage.
EISENBERG: Let's hear it.
SIDDIQ: Loretta, I'm gonna take you to bed. Loretta, my hair got snapped off.
LONG: That's really good.
EISENBERG: All right, Rich. What do you got?
STEEVES: Wow. It's a hard act to follow up. I do mostly cartoon characters and Muppets so I can do a Kermit the Frog.
EISENBERG: All right, let's hear it.
LONG: Oh, yeah.
STEEVES: If frogs couldn't hop, I'd be gone with a Schwinn.
EISENBERG: Oh. Nice. Who knew we would have such good impressions. This game is called "Justin Time Impressions." Ah, we asked Justin to give us a list of actors that he's good at impersonating and the list was endless so we culled through it and this game is very simple. Justin will read famous movie lines spoken by various actors and all you have to do is identify the movie that it came from and the winner of this round will move on to our Ask Me One More final round at the end of show. Are you ready?
STEEVES: Yes.
EISENBERG: OK. Look who walked into the Bell House. It's Woody Allen.
LONG: Chapter One. He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion. You know, make that he romanticized it all out of proportion. Better. To him, no matter what the season was, it was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin. You know, let me start this over. Chapter One.
EISENBERG: Miriam.
SIDDIQ: "Manhattan?"
EISENBERG: That is correct. Hey, it's my favorite fellow Canadian, Michael J. Fox.
LONG: Look, Marvin, you gotta play. You see, that's where they kiss for the first time on the dance floor. And if there's no music, they can't dance and if they can't dance, they can't kiss. If they can't kiss, they can't fall in love and I'm history, man. Thank you.
EISENBERG: Rich.
STEEVES: That's definitely "Back To The Future."
EISENBERG: That is correct. "Back To The Future," is that one your favorites?
STEEVES: My absolute favorite.
EISENBERG: Yeah, I love - one thing about the movie is that every chunk of dialog is basically reiterating the premise of the entire movie.
LONG: Right, right. I got to get home. Are you telling me that my mom has got the hots for me? Yeah. The best, the best.
EISENBERG: Well, check this out. It's actor Ted Levine drinking Buffalo Trace Bourbon at the bar.
LONG: It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it's told. It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. Yes, it will, precious. It will get the hose.
EISENBERG: That is chilling. Rich.
STEEVES: Yeah, "Silence Of The Lambs."
EISENBERG: Yeah, of course.
LONG: I - my favorite part of that movie is when he's trying to be normal. When Jodie Foster comes to the door and she's all, yes, sir, I'd like to use your phone, please. And he's like, oh, yeah, sure. I got a phone you could use, yeah. And he's just like trying to be all nonchalant. You know, are the police closer to finding anything or, I mean, just curious, just a curious, normal citizen.
EISENBERG: Oh, hey, there's my friend on a blind date with Academy Award Winner Philip Seymour Hoffman.
LONG: It's the hardest when someone has a notion about you and it's impossible to convince them otherwise. Ever since I was a child, folks have thought that they had me pegged because of the way I am, you know, the way I talk and they're always wrong. Do you know what I mean?
EISENBERG: Miriam.
SIDDIQ: "Capote"?
EISENBERG: "Capote" nailed it.
LONG: That's kind of a given.
EISENBERG: Oh, who's getting into character by tending bar, it's Sam Rockwell.
LONG: Hey, I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just crew man number six. I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove the situation is serious. I gotta get out of here.
EISENBERG: Rich.
STEEVES: Sam Rockwell as Guy Fleegman in "Galaxy Quest."
EISENBERG: Oh. And a tight game, basically going back and forth, but it turns out just by a hair, Rich, you're going to be moving on to our Ask Me One More final round. Justin Long, we'll be seeing you in a little while for your puzzle hot seat challenge. Another hand for Justin Long, our VIP and our contestants.
LONG: Thank you.
JONATHAN COULTON: (Singing) Well, my friend the time has come to raise the roof and have some fun. Throw away the work to be done. Let the music play on. Everybody sing, everybody dance. Lose yourself in wild romance. We're going to party, carumba, fiesta forever. Come on and sing along. We're going to party, carumba, fiesta forever. Come on and sing along.
(Singing) All night long, all night, all night, all night long, all night. All night long, all night, all night - night long, all night. All night long, all night, all night - night long, all night. All night long, all night, all night long, all night, all night.
EISENBERG: Jonathan Coulton with his tribute to Justin All Night Long.
COULTON: Thank you. It's the most Paul Shaffer-esque decision I've ever made on the show. I don't regret it at all.
EISENBERG: People could not help singing. I could see a bunch of them, like - you can't help it, right?
COULTON: It's a catchy tune.
EISENBERG: You can't help it.

Class specifications for 2014 United SportsCar Racing debut taking shape
This is the second in a series of announcements providing details about the rules and regulations for the inaugural United SportsCar Racing season in 2014.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Class specifications continue to crystalize in preparation for next year's inaugural United SportsCar Racing season, as officials strive for balanced performance and a close competitive environment that follows the "best of both worlds" mantra that is driving the merger of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) presented by Tequila Patrón, GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA).
When the first United SportsCar Racing season opens in January with the 52nd running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, fans will be greeted by some high-speed familiarities at Daytona International Speedway, perhaps most noticeably in the production-based GT categories.
As an example, the new GT Le Mans (GTLM) class will retain all of the ALMS' current GT class specs. An important new safety feature will be found in the cockpit of every GTLM car, as side nets around the driver's seat will be utilized as an added measure of keeping drivers in place in the event of an incident.
The GT Daytona (GTD) class, the new home for what is now GRAND-AM's Rolex Series GT teams, will run with adjusted performance levels to assist in cost reduction and an overall meshing with other classes. A method of restricting engine air intake will be mandatory, as will single-lug, single piece wheels. Every GTD car will carry a series-specified rear wing.
GTD may also include FIA GT3 cars with minimal modifications, providing they meet class performance targets. Overall, however, the regulations will be based on the current Rolex Series GT rules. In addition, the Rolex Series' current GX class will be transitioned into GTD.
On to the headlining Prototype (P) class, where series officials are working overtime to balance performance between the ALMS' P2 cars, DeltaWing and Rolex Series' Daytona Prototypes. That work continues but there are these definite mandates:
- Cars considered P2 in origin will follow current technical specs of the ACO
- Paddle shifters and 6-speed transmissions /gearboxes allowed for all cars
- Sonic air intake restrictors for all approved engines for P2 and DP cars
And lastly, here's the easy one: The popular and highly competitive Prototype Challenge (PC) class now competing in the ALMS will return with all current technical aspects intact.
Cars in every class except for PC will also carry series-mandated data loggers, which will be downloaded on every pit stop. Teams will be responsible for the proper operation of the data loggers.
To help delineate the classes, each car will use standardized number panels with colored backgrounds identifying each class, similar to what is being used currently in the ALMS. The panels will be backlit for night races.
Another feature sure to be popular with fans is the return of a new and improved Leader Lights system, which will be required on all cars. The colored lights, which will be similar in color to the number panels, will enable fans to determine each car's running position within its class at all times during United SportsCar Racing events.
"We are moving carefully, but with clear momentum," said Scot Elkins, chief operating officer of IMSA and the ALMS and managing director, technical regulations and development for GRAND-AM.
"The goal is to get it right, which entails making the on-track action safe, competitive and reasonable when it comes to cost. Like we've said all along: the 'best of both worlds' is what we're after here. We're getting closer each and every day."

IDT will present its annual dance concert at Hope College on Friday-Saturday, April 12-13, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
IDT (InSync Dance Theatre), under the new direction of faculty members Matthew Farmer and associate director Crystal Frazier, is a resident company of Hope College.
IDT's performance will include pieces by two guest choreographers. "Carnival Latin America," choreographed by Sharon Wong, will suit fans of classic jazz dance because it is rooted in historic jazz vernacular. The second guest work is by Kristen Farmer, who choreographed a contemporary jazz piece to music by Amy Winehouse.
This year IDT is also presenting an Afro-Fusion piece titled "Soul Travelin'" and a tap "Michael Jackson Tribute," both choreographed by Crystal Frazier. In "Soul Travelin'" the dancers will journey through a safari, finding themselves and their surroundings. The "Michael Jackson Tribute" will be a classic, high-energy piece set in the 1950s era.
Two more pieces, choreographed by Matthew Farmer, titled "Mujeres Noches" and "Tempo Water," join this year's program. "Mujeres Noches" is a high-energy piece set in Argentina in the 1960s. "Tempo Water" is a jazz rendition of the southern baptism rituals of the 1920s that was inspired by the movie, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Tickets for the concerts are on sale at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse, and cost $10 for regular admission; $7 for senior citizens, faculty and staff; and $5 for students. The ticket office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and can be called at (616) 395-7890. Tickets are also available online at https://tickets.hope.edu/ticketing/.
Tickets will also be available at the Knickerbocker Theatre on performance nights directly preceding the performance time.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. The Knickerbocker Theatre is located at 86 E. Eighth St.

Don't get me wrong – I do think that some transparency is necessary, and that some material provided by WikiLeaks has been helpful. And I'm quite certain Julian Assange has not violated any US laws.
Bu the indiscriminate nature of WikiLeaks has again weakened global diplomacy and made the world overall less peaceful. Ecuador and the United States have each expelled the ambassadors of the other country. Why? Because it was leaked that the US ambassador to Ecuador informed her home government that the Ecuadoran police are corrupt. I'm no expert on the Ecuadoran criminal justice system, but this doesn't sound impossible, given the criminal justice situation in Ecuador.
And here's the dark side of complete transparency – I'm pretty sure Correa understands that his police force has corrupt elements, and that the ambassador has the right and indeed the responsibility to report that information. But, because this information is public, he has to save face and cause a diplomatic scandal.
This is not the first time this has happened – our ambassador to Mexico resigned after (honestly) relaying his impression that the Mexican government was not capable of handling the organized crime in the country.
International diplomacy cannot be effective if diplomats cannot communicate honestly with their home governments, and Julian Assange's leaking of diplomatic cables is not having the effect of increasing transparency but in making diplomacy more difficult. Given the role of diplomatic failure in violent conflict, WikiLeaks' indiscriminate attitude towards leaking diplomatic cables is highly irresponsible.

Nouriel Roubini Bans Reporters From Party Palace
Party-having economist Nouriel "Dr. Doom" Roubini is no longer inviting reporters to parties in his vagina-studded loft, we hear! *(A single tear)*
Roubini was out on the town earlier this week and struck up a convo with a New York magazine reporter, and explained his charm:
So, what makes his parties so great? we asked.
"Fun people and beautiful girls," Roubini said, grinning. "I look for ten girls to one guy." His friend Bill Clinton, he added, is a fan of this ratio.
BUT: we hear that Roubini has been so traumatized by the digital explorations of Nick Denton that he now hates all reporters, and refuses to invite them to his freaky deaky parties! Is it worth leaving the profession in order to get into one of these things? Anybody know? Julia?

Dancing Around Genocide
In a world where justice had a chance of prevailing, both dictator Museveni and the LRA's commander Joseph Kony would be hauled before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and convicted on crimes against humanity.
[Black Star News Editorial]
This week War Dance, a documentary that highlights the suffering of Acholis in northern Uganda, is in line for an Oscar award.
Uganda has suffered war for more than 20 years, confined mostly in the north. Fighting pits Uganda's government under U.S.-allied dictator Yoweri Museveni and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). It's one of the most perverse wars in the world. The combatants rarely engage each other in direct battle, even raising questions about whether they are actually partners in Uganda's genocide. The victims are hundreds of thousands of Acholi civilians.
More than 20 years ago, the Uganda government ordered civilians in Acholi, northern Uganda, to abandon their homes, their farms and their livestock within 48 hours, using radio announcements. The government forced 2 million civilians into squalid concentration camps, creating mass deaths and impoverishment. Museveni's government claimed it was the only way to protect civilians from the LRA, which was kidnapping children to boost its ranks, while also mutilating civilians during its terror campaign. There are also credible accounts of terrorism and brutality against civilians by the governments soldiers, including mass murders, rapes and mutilations which were then attributed to the LRA.
As recent as 2005, the World Health Organization in a survey concluded that more that 1,000 people were dying every week from hunger and diseases in the government concentration camps; this translates to 52,000 a year or 520,000 over the last 10 years. Some of the camps have existed for more than 20 years. In other words, the government has been responsible for "protecting" possibly more than a million Acholis to death.
War Dance, directed by Sean Fine and executive produced by Albie Hecht, documents the plight of some of the young Acholi boys and girls in the camps, and their preparation for and participation in a national musical contest. It's a heart-warming and captivating film.
The movie has many weaknesses: Some of the scenes were clearly staged and a Uganda government employee, Emmanuel Olobo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was also a translator, raising questions about objectivity and the extent of the dictatorship's involvement in other aspects of the film; what's shocking is that Olobo's name is even listed on the credits at the end of the film, although he is not identified as a government official, until recently based in the Uganda embassy in Washington, D.C. as First Secretary, where he worked under Ugandan ambassador Perezi Kamunanwire, Uganda's chief apologist to the U.S.
The film's most glaring weakness is failure to adequately expose the Museveni regime's role in creating the concentration camps and forcefully forcing Acholis, women, men and children into the camps (for more background please see the Human Rights Watch Report "Uprooted and Forgotten, Impunity and Human Rights Abuses
In an e-mail message, Fein said, "Mr. Olobo did do some initial translation work AFTER we returned from Uganda. Our field translator was actually a former child soldier who know works for the ICC in Uganda. Mr. Olobo was not in the field with us so he had little influence on the film. He is also one of three translators that we used in the post process as well as having an Acholi professor give the final film a watch to make sure there was nothing wrong."
He continued in the message: "We paid great attention to the translation for accuracy and I can assure you that Mr. Lobo had no sway on our filmmaking. He simply watched a scene and translated it word for word. Then his work was double checked as well. It seems that you might have been implying that we were swayed by the government in our filmmaking and I assure you this never happened."
The message concludes: "I would appreciate it if you were going to print something suggesting a government had a hand in our film that you would first ask us. I appreciate your review of the film but I just want to get the facts right."
It is wrong for an independent filmmaker to have a government official involved in such a manner without disclosing it because it raises many questions as to whether the government was involved in other levels: Why not then have an LRA translator also involved since the Museveni government and the LRA are combatants and both are agents of the Acholi genocide?
in Northern Uganda," http://hrw.org/reports/2005/uganda0905/uganda0905.pdf
War Dance, whether it wins an Oscar or not, will invite more welcome media scrutiny on the Uganda atrocities, which have been drowned by other tragedies such as Darfur's and Eastern Congo's: More serious scrutiny might finally expose the role of foreign apologists and governments, including the U.S. and the U.K., in arming and uncritically supporting the Ugandan dictatorship which maintains the concentration camps. The LRA's own brutality has been very well exposed: Yet, LRA is not the sole agent in Uganda's silent genocide.
In a world where justice had a chance of prevailing, both dictator Museveni and the LRA's commander Joseph Kony would be hauled before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and convicted for their roles in crimes against humanity.

This Adorable Twitter Love Story Is One For The Ages
By Dave Basner
June 24, 2019
When couples meet on Match.com or Tinder, they get to exchange messages in private, but if they meet over Twitter, the whole world can watch as they try to win each other over.
That's just what happened with Torey Stachowicz and Ben Axelrod, and now the world is rejoicing over some very happy news.
It all started in late 2014 when Torey, a personal trainer, announced on Twitter that she wanted to go out with Ben, a digital producer.
I want to go on a date with @BenAxelrod— Torey Stachowicz (@toreydanae) December 4, 2014
Ben seemed open to it and just like that, the ice was broken.
@toreydanae you buying?— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) December 4, 2014
"@BenAxelrod: @toreydanae you buying?" Haha yes I will, your favorite place too— Torey Stachowicz (@toreydanae) December 4, 2014
@toreydanae nah, if you're buying, you can pick. Just make sure they have chicken fingers.— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) December 4, 2014
@BenAxelrod done and done— Torey Stachowicz (@toreydanae) December 4, 2014
Based on their initial exchange, they seemed to have the same humor and perhaps even the same tastes in food so it should come as no surprise that now, just over three years later, Ben asked Torey to be his wife.
And of course, he proposed on Twitter.
I want to marry @toreydanae https://t.co/gJxNBqyTNY— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) February 11, 2018
I bent the knee. She said yes! pic.twitter.com/nVwPHtpxOx— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) February 11, 2018
Here's hoping they live-tweet the wedding!

Opinion analysis: SRA prohibits rehabilitation through incarceration
On Thursday, in Tapia v. United States (No. 10-5400), the Court held that the Sentencing Reform Act "" in particular, 18 U.S.C. § 3582(a) "" prohibits federal courts from "imposing or lengthening a prison term" to promote the rehabilitation of a criminal defendant. After Tapia was convicted of, inter alia, smuggling unauthorized aliens into the United States, the district court imposed a sentence of fifty-one months "" which was at the upper end of the recommended Sentencing Guidelines range "" so that Tapia would be in prison long enough to qualify for participation in a drug rehabilitation program. On appeal, Tapia argued that the district court's imposition of a longer sentence to ensure her rehabilitation violated 18 U.S.C. § 3582(a), which provides that a sentencing court, when determining the length of a prison sentence, "shall consider the factors set forth in section 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable, recognizing that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation."
The Ninth Circuit affirmed Tapia's sentence. But on Thursday the Court unanimously reversed. In an opinion by Justice Kagan, the Court began by reviewing the history of sentencing practices in the United States. Noting that the now-discredited indeterminate sentencing regime was "premised on a faith in rehabilitation," it explained that indeterminate sentencing fell out of favor, both because it resulted in disparities in sentencing and because lawmakers "increasingly doubted that prison programs could "rehabilitate individuals on a routine basis.'" In place of that regime, Congress enacted the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) of 1984, which not only employs determinate sentences, but also explicitly outlines the "four purposes of sentencing generally" "" retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation "" and the circumstances under which each purpose can be taken into account.
The Court then turned to the text of Section 3582(a), observing that its analysis here could start and end with the plain language of the statute "given the clarity of that provision." The Court explained that common definitions of "recognize" and "appropriate" make clear that "§ 3582(a) tells courts that they should acknowledge that imprisonment is not suitable for the purpose of promoting rehabilitation." And consistent with the express terms of the statute, they should do so both when "determining whether to impose a term of imprisonment," and "if a term of imprisonment is to be imposed," when "determining the length of the term."
The Court also noted three additional reasons that reinforce its reading of the statute. First, another provision of the Sentencing Reform Act, Section 994(K), reiterates the intent behind Section 3582 by requiring the Sentencing Commission to ensure that the Guidelines "reflect the inappropriateness of imposing a sentence to a term of imprisonment for the purpose of rehabilitating a defendant." Accordingly, Congress consistently instructed each actor in the sentencing process not to regard imprisonment as a means of rehabilitation. Second, the SRA does not address the issue of empowering sentencing courts to require offender participation in rehabilitation programs. When Congress wanted courts to have that power in other, non-incarceration contexts, it expressly granted it. Indeed, not only are courts without such authority, but "the BOP has plenary control" over those matters. In this case, for example, the sentencing court could not ensure that Tapia would be placed in the drug rehabilitation program. Third, the principal Senate Report on the SRA indicates that although some lawmakers wanted rehabilitation excluded from the SRA as a sentencing objective altogether, Congress instead maintained that rehabilitation plays an important role in assessing the suitability of sanctions that do not involve incarceration.
Finally, the Court acknowledged that a sentencing court does not err when it discusses the benefits of rehabilitative opportunities in the prison context. Here, however, the record suggests that the district court imposed a longer sentence to ensure that Tapia could participate in the drug rehabilitation program. And Section 3582(a) prohibits that action. The Court ultimately remanded the case to the Ninth Circuit "to consider the effect of Tapia's failure to object to the sentence when imposed."
Justice Sotomayor filed a concurring opinion, in which Justice Alito joined, to express her skepticism that the district court did in fact lengthen Tapia's sentence to promote rehabilitation.

Red Sox' David Ortiz will be teaming up with Boston Public Schools to deliver wake-up calls to select students in the school system.
The service, which is available in September, will be to help students who are chronically absent from school or often late.
Chronic absenteeism is a problem in the school district and BPS officials have been trying to tackle it. BPS officials cite national research saying missing out on school can lead to poor grades and dropouts.
U.S. & World
They think this will help to encourage kids to hop out of bed and get to school.
Last year they did a successful trial run. Twenty-four students at Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers used the wake-up calls.
This coming school year, families can opt in their high and middle school students to receive the morning wakeup call from "Big Papi" during the final weeks of his last season, basically though the first month of school.
The calls are available in a few languages.

This April brings another free update to NCsoft's City of Heroes, Issue 17: Dark Mirror, bringing with it graphical updates that hold a dark mirror up to the game's regular level of detail.
Dubbed "Ultra Mode", the free graphical update coming to City of Heroes in the Issue 17 update greatly enhances the way the game handles shadows, lighting, reflections, and water effects, bringing Paragon City to life at a level of detail never before seen. You can click on the comparison shots below to make them ridiculously large, and the differences are readily apparent. Looking good there, Paragon.
The update isn't all about pretty pictures either. Issue 17 also brings improvements to the mission architect system, UI enhancements, new badges and emotes, and makes Epic Archetypes available at level 20. Also, players will be able to "confront a new and nefarious foe who will be able to match them blow for blow."
Sounds like someone's getting an evil twin! I hope they have a goatee.
