Mittimal Damage
by Gary Jason | Posted January 28, 2012
After being badgered incessantly by Gingrich, Perry, and Santorum, "vulture capitalist" Romney finally released his tax filings. We finally got to see what dirt was being covered up in his returns.
And the dirt was — nothing!
The press sifted through the 500 plus pages of Romney's 2010 filing (and his projected filing for 2011), desperately looking for something to hit him with, and Romney came out totally clean. The media mission was to find new material that their guy Obama could use to bash Romney, but the mission was an abject failure.
True, the released material shows Romney to be a very rich man. But the filings only confirm what anybody could have found by Google-searching the dude and reading his Wiki entry, to wit, that he is worth around a quarter of a billion bucks. Listen, don't get me wrong: I would love to have that kind of scratch. But it doesn't put the man on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans list — he's nowhere as wealthy as such media-darling leftist billionaires as Warren Buffett and George Soros.
Progressives are cheap when it comes to spending their own money to help others. They are generous only with other people's money.
To be precise, in 2010 Romney earned $21.7 million, of which $12.6 million was capital gains, $3.3 million taxable interest, $4.9 million dividend income, and the remaining million or so money coming from various business gains, refunds, and speaking fees. Romney gave a whopping $3 million to charity — about 14% of his income.
Taxes on cap gains, dividends, and interest rates are a flat 15%, and charitable donations are quite legally deductible — which explains why he "only" paid about $3 million in taxes (about a 14% effective tax rate).
In short, he legitimately minimized his taxes, and paid no more than he was legally required to. This puts him in the same boat as the rest of us, Obama and Biden (and Buffett and Soros) included. I confess that I try to minimize my taxes legally. I never — repeat, never — pay more than the law requires, and I have nowhere near Romney's tax burden.
The mainstream media was reduced to nitpicking. It turns out, for example, that Romney — whose portfolio is in a blind trust, please note, so invests without his knowledge or control — had small investments in Swiss and Cayman Island accounts. All quite legal if declared to the government — and it was.
Of his generous charitable giving, half of it went to the Mormon church, and the rest to a variety of charities, including one for researching MS (an ailment that afflicts his wife).
His projected 2011 filing, which he has promised to release in April when it is filed, shows similar income, charitable outlays, and tax rate.
There is no doubt that Obama will use as much of this as he can to hammer Romney in the fall, assuming that Romney is the Republican nominee, which I regard as virtually certain. But there is little ammo here.
Indeed, Romney's lavish charitable giving actually underscores Obama's cheapness when it comes to charitable giving. Compare the nearly 14% of his income ($3,000,000) that Romney gave, to what the Obamas did: from 2000 through 2004, they gave about 1% to charity (or less than $11,000), and in 2007 they gave 5.7% (or about $240,000). Even more tight-fisted was VP Joe Biden, who averaged a pathetic 0.3% (a truly risible $349) in annual charitable giving in the decade before he became vice president, and not much more since. Last year, Biden gave 1.4% ($5,300) to charity. Truly nothing compared to Romney.
The national average for giving is about 5%.
This illustrates the thesis of Arthur Brook's estimable Who Really Cares?, a book I reviewed for these pages some time back (March 2009, 43–6): the progressives are cheap when it comes to spending their own money to help others. They are generous only with other people's money.
Even the 14% tax rate that Romney enjoys is hard to use against him. Remember, the John Kerry household paid 13%, and the Democrats had no problem voting for him as their nominee. And for Obama to push the capital gains and dividend rates back up is for him to risk a major downturn on the stock market, as well as in the lavish support he is getting from his billionaire buddies. That could cost him the election.
In the end, after relentless attacks by Gingrich, Perry, and Santorum, all that has been revealed about Romney is that he legally and ethically earned a large amount of money, paid his taxes, and is a devout member of his church. In short, what is known now is what everybody knew all along.
Given that Obama has few accomplishments he can run on, we can also expect from him what we knew all along. His likely $2 billion reelection campaign (the $1 billion his campaign will have to spend, and the $1 billion that will be spent by groups that support him) will be entirely negative. And it will be as repetitive as it will be negative. It will simply repeat that Romney is rich, rich, rich! And he is white, white, white! And he is Mormon, Mormon, Mormon!
I am weary already.

Excellent points regarding the Mittster's tax returns. The guy has played by the rules; it's not his fault that he's paying "only" about 15%. And his charitable giving is pretty impressive, although one should note that the majority of it goes to the Mormon Church (Mormons are required to tithe).
I doubt the Obama campaign will make Mormonism an issue. The people who are worried about electing a Mormon president are right-wing Christians who hate Obama; Mitt's Mormonism will not cause them to vote Democratic. Similarly, it seems highly unlikely that the Obama campaign will make an issue, even subliminally, of Romney's whiteness. Last I looked a majority of the electorate was still Caucasian. And I don't think a race card will be necessary to get most nowhites to vote for Obama. Perhaps the last three sentences of the second-to-last paragraph are just the usual hyperbole, and not serioulsy meant.
Be that as it may, I find it interesting from a sociological viewpoint that so many middle-aged white males (committed lefties excepted), from gun-toting rural folk to obscure suburban academics, have such a deep hatred for Obama. The venom never seemed quite so poisonous when Jimmy Carter or Teddy Kennedy was the target. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have to think that there's a certain amount of "ressentiment" at work that wouldn't be present had Barack been born paler.

Regarding Mormonism, I never said Obama would PERSONALLY attack them; no, he will be content to allow super-pacs working on his behalf to do that. They will cleverly spend lavishly in areas where evangelical Christians live, hoping to depress the vote by arousing latent resentment of the LDS church. A report out already notes Obama is sending administrative aids and campaign allies out to organize and structure pac attacks. (see: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/07/obama-campaign-to-support-super-pac-fundraising/?hpt=hp_t1)
Regarding the race card, oh, please, give me a break. It was played heavily in the last election, especially in Latino areas. Reid explicitly said that no decent Mexican-American, and this has been echoed by members of the Regime regularly. Again--watch the super-pacs...they are going to push race to win the Latino vote and get out the black vote.
That is not hyperbole, but an honest description of what I think we will see. I know you support the guy, which is your right, but I report honestly what I see.

I don't support Obama, except perhaps as the lesser of two evils. I haven't voted since 1988, and I won't be voting this time either. If Rand Paul is the Republican nominee at some point in my lifetime, I'd seriously consider voting for him, just to see the boat get rocked. Of course, the possibility of a libertarian becoming president at any future time is quite small.
In my view the United States is both irredeemable and (contrary to the views of Mark Steyn, Pat Buchanan, etc.) likely to be around for a long time to come. I continue to observe and comment on American politics because I'm stuck here; there's no place else I want to live. And this godforsaken country is still a paradise compared to most of the rest of the world.
When you explain more fully what you mean about using Romney's whiteness against him with some voters, I at least understand what you are driving at. The manner in which you originally expressed yourself made it seem as if you were predicting a blatant race-baiting strategy. This apparently was not your intention.
Targeting evangelicals regarding Romney's Mormonism to suppress turnout would be nothing special in American politics. Scapegoating and fear-mongering have been part of American elections since the 1790s. The Republicans pefected this form of electioneering under Karl Rove. All's fair if you can get away with it in the squalid world of American politics.
Since I'm posting here about politics, I'll use a line to say again that Obama's gonna be re-elected, no matter who the Republican nominee is. That is, assuming he can correct the egregious error his HHS secretary made this week when she imposed government rules about contraception/sterilization/abortion on Catholic organizations. And assuming he can avoid such utterly stupid political moves in the future. He's a very smart politician; therefore I think this misstep will be retraced and future missteps avoided.

Yet Romney still wants to tax many americans at rates at least 2, and up to 3 times what he's paying.
I could care less what he pays in taxes. What I'm concerned about is how much he wants to force me to pay.
Wed, 2012-02-01 17:27
I pretty much agree with all of this.

Longtime Rangers great Young retires
Former AL batting champ hangs up spikes in Arlington
ARLINGTON -- Michael Young announced his retirement as a Texas Ranger during a news conference at the Ballpark in Arlington on Friday.
Young, 37, debuted with the Rangers in 2000 and became the franchise's leader in several offensive categories, including hits and runs scored, during his 13 seasons with the club. He was traded to Philadelphia last winter and played in 126 games with the Phillies in 2013 before being traded to the Dodgers on Aug. 31. He ended his career as a pinch-hitter for the Dodgers during the National League playoffs.
The Rangers issued the following statement on Thursday night:
"The Texas Rangers want to congratulate Michael Young on his outstanding Major League career. For 12 seasons in a Rangers uniform, he was a standout performer on the field and the consummate role model in the community.
"Michael is a leader, and he demonstrated those skills every day of the season, year in and year out. We are proud to say that Michael Young is this franchise's all-time leader in games, at bats, runs, hits, doubles, triples and total bases. He excelled at multiple positions and came through in the clutch.
"When Texas advanced to postseason play in 2010 after an 11-year drought, teammates and fans everywhere were especially happy that Michael had reached the playoffs. And he was an integral performer in those Rangers' back-to-back World Series runs.
"The Rangers wish Michael, his wife, Cristina, and sons Mateo, Emilio, and Antonio the very best as they enter a new chapter in their lives. And we want them to know there will always be a place for the Youngs in the Texas Rangers family."
Young was a seven-time All-Star who won the 2005 American League batting title and was the Most Valuable Player of the 2006 All-Star Game with a game-winning two-run triple off Trevor Hoffman at PNC Park. He finished with a career average of .300 and twice led the AL in hits. He also won a Gold Glove Award for his fielding at shortstop in 2008.
Young ended 2013 14th among active players with 1,970 games played, 16th with 1,137 runs scored, eighth with 2,375 hits and 13th with 441 doubles.
Young, a native of Los Angeles, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the fifth round of the 1997 First-Year Player Draft out of the UC-Santa Barbara. On July 19, 2000, he was traded to the Rangers along with pitcher Darwin Cubillan for pitcher Esteban Loaiza.
It ranks as one of the most significant trades in Rangers history. Young, called up on the final weekend of the season, made his Major League debut on Sept. 29, 2000, as a pinch-runner in the ninth inning of a 7-5 loss to the Athletics. He was 0-for-2 the following day as the Rangers lost, 23-2, in the final game of the season.
Young started the next season in Triple-A, but was called up on May 25 when Rangers second baseman Randy Velarde went on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring muscle. On May 27, he started at second base and singled in the fifth inning off Orioles pitcher Scott Erickson. He remained in the Rangers' lineup for 12 years, spending time at all four infield positions.
Young was the Rangers' second baseman through 2003. After that season, the Rangers traded shortstop Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees for second baseman Alfonso Soriano and infielder Joaquin Arias. The trade was made just before Spring Training, and there was great uncertainty which player would move to shortstop. Young settled the issue by volunteering to move and allow a reluctant Soriano to stay at second base.
Young ended up making the All-Star team for the first time in '04 and spent five seasons as the Rangers' shortstop. He moved to third base in '09 to make room for Elvis Andrus at shortstop. Two years later, Young reluctantly agreed to relinquish third base after the Rangers signed free agent Adrian Beltre. Young spent his final two seasons with the Rangers as a designated hitter and utility infielder.
He played in 34 postseason games for the Rangers when they went to two straight World Series in 2010-11. His three-run home run in Game 2 of the 2010 AL Division Series helped carry the Rangers to a 6-0 victory over the Rays. In Game 6 of the 2011 ALCS, Young had three hits, including a home run and five RBIs, in the Rangers' 15-5 series-clinching victory over the Tigers.
The Rangers traded him after the 2012 season to the Phillies for pitchers Josh Lindblom and Lisalverto Bonilla. Young reportedly turned down offers from the Dodgers and the Brewers this offseason, opting to retire and spend more time with his family.

Thanks so much for the update- With all that on your plate maybe it's a blessing to have until the next Sept. for Season 4- it must take a lot out of you and all involved!

Get some riding time in to let your mind clear.

This has been a busy time for you. Sounds like Season 3 production is about to wind down. @BastardMachine's tweets mentioned that he'd gotten to see 301. Lucky bastard!
Congrats on the Iphone ap. Remember your tweet about that. Despite the fact that the former national mother bell is behind Iphone, you've definitely made me want to get one just to get the SOA app! Jaysus! That would be an upgrade for me, as my current cell phone only makes/receives calls!
The fanbase is ready and eager for 7 September. I've been tryin' to get it declared a national holiday. Indiana's senators and house of rep members just laugh at me. The wankers. I'm serious!

I can't wait for the new season to begin. This show is by far one of the best shows I have ever watched.
More important than the show is you. The way you communicate with the people who watch SOA is amazing. It really makes us feel like we are part of the 'family'. I don't remember any other show that has been like this. Keep doing what you're doing.
Sept. 7th can't get here fast enough.

Watched Season 2 again last week. Thanks to current FX re-run and DVR from last season. Regardless of the academy or whoever votes on nominees for Emmy's, Katey's performance in Seson 2 stands as one of the best I have ever seen by an actress, for what it's worth. That said, it can never be taken away from her and will stand on it's own merits. Oh yeah, Season 3 -- can't wait!!! Thanks for the updates and to the continuing safa of SOA...may you have as many seasons as you creative talents will allow.

Hey Kurt,
Why haven't you featured a chick who rides on the show.
I've been riding for years and will ride 'til they have to pry my dead hands off my grips.
I belong to several web based female riding groups. I go on poker runs tailored for girls, Corset runs, Ladies Who Ride for Cancer.
I am excited to see season 3.
You might consider the female rider gig. You may just punch up your fan base.

You know, it would be cool to see some Latin chicks being part of the Mayans club. Obviously it's too late in the game now, but maybe next season.

I'm in agreement with those who are asking for a Droid app.
I just got done with an SOA marathon and watching all 13 episodes of season 2 over three days. Would have done it in one but sadly, I have this thing called a job that gets in the way of my entertainment. I can't wait for season 3 to start!
Love your writing Kurt. It's brutally honest, well written and to the point. Wouldn't read it if it were any other way. Thanks for the the awesome reading and an awesome TV show to boot. Keep up the good work!

NFL All-Pro Chad Ochocinco may have made his ultimate catch.
The flamboyant wide receiver may be engaged to girlfriend Evelyn Lozada, reports People.
Lozada, who currently stars on VH1's Basketball Wives, tweeted a photo of a rather large ring on her wedding finger with the text, "I'm no rabbit but 10 carats look good on me!!" Let the hating begin??????? Let's go!!!!! *Wink*," she wrote.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Reps for both Ochocinco and Lozada have not commented, but a representative for the jewelry company that made the hardware, Jason Beverly Hills, said that they had indeed talked to Ochocinco.
"Chad called up Jason, 'I've for four or five days. I need a ring. I need something amazing,'" the rep said.
Lozada isn't the only member of the couple with a reality TV pedigree. Ochocinco appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" last year and had his own reality show called Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch on VH1.
This would be the first engagement for Ochocinco. Lozada previously dated NBA player Antoine Walker.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field teams had another successful weekend setting records – both personal and school – enroute to winning five events Saturday at two different meets. A small squad participated in Boulder, Colo., while the rest of the team competed in Birmingham, Ala.
The Jerry Quiller Classic hosted by the University of Colorado saw two runners in the Purple and Gold cross the finish line in first place.
Using the thin air in the elevation, Brenna Thompson breezed to a first place finish in the 400m. Thompson finished in 57.82 seconds, more than a second in front of second place.
"Brenna had a terrific 400 debut," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "She got out fast and attacked the race. She showed she is definitely capable of going into the 56's and 55's this season. It was really fun for her to get the win today."
Dani Walker continued her impressive streak claiming gold in the 800-meter run in 2:08.47. After altitude conversion, Walker's time will be converted lower to 2:07.63. The Lady Bisons swept the podium as Katie Bunker and Madelin Talbert finished second and third, respectively.
"It was also fun going 1-2-3," Taylor said. "Dani led the whole way and ran a high-61 on the first lap which is pretty fast at sea level, much less at altitude. It caught up with her a bit in the last 200 meters but she really handled the altitude and pace well.
"They were all hurting after the race. It is good though. They are going to be better for this experience."
At the Samford Invite in Birmingham, Tucker Peabody took his familiar position at the top of the podium in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Peabody won the 100 in 10.69 seconds. Second place Justin Emerson of Samford finished second in 10.78 seconds.
In the 200, Peabody won in 21.28 seconds. The time, nearly four-tenths of a second faster than second place, increased his hold on the top spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference for the outdoor season.
"Tucker had solid times in the 100 and 200 for being in the early season for him," Lipscomb assistant coach Luke Syverson said. "They are faster times than he had at this point last season."
Gemikal Prude not only won the high jump but also set a school record. A leap of 2.14 meters topped the seven foot mark and was 4.25 inches higher than that of Tyler Kemp of Samford, who finished in second place. Prude also increased his conference lead on the season, with his previous best two-meters set in the first outdoor meet of the season.
"The seven-foot mark is a pretty big milestone for high jumpers," Syverson said. "He almost had 7-1 but he crossed a mental barrier to get to the seven-foot mark. That height should get him into the preliminary round of the NCAA Championships."
Nelson Scott took the silver medal in the 400-meter hurdles in a time of 54.68. Scott was followed by teammate Andrew Wolf who finished fourth.
Kevin Floyd hit a personal record in the pole vault as he topped the 15-foot mark at 4.7 meters. He finished third in the event, six inches shy of first place.
"Kevin had a breakthrough with his PR," Syverson said. "That mark is just under the school record but is a good sign for later on this season."
Emily Longden won the women's steeplechase in a time of 11.18.07.
"I am really pleased with the effort today," Syverson said. "This really sets us up for spring break. We come back for the Vanderbilt Black and Gold which is a good meet with good competition.
"Some of our top-performers will start competing against top-tier talent in the next couple of meets and should hit better marks."
With the spring break in progress for Lipscomb, the student-athletes will take a short break from organized workouts and return for the Vanderbilt Black and Gold Invite on Friday and Saturday.

lets talk western christian history from the persecution of the non trinitarian arians and ebionites to the crusades to the spanish inquizition to the colinization and genocide of the americas and australia to the mass killiings of muslims by the serbs being blessed by the church tell me where do u want to start?
Somebody else should take this on since it's hardly challenging but shows how repetitiously stupid this man's approach is when his feelings are hurt. But then again if he really wants to debate he had better get geared up to take on someone like me who is agnostic and does not take a Bible-based approach to Islam.
Matthew 10:34 - "I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword" u want more u zindeeq??
So this is supposed to vex me? Do I think about it much nowadays? Not really since I'm not a Christian but either way that quote is contradictory in respect to the message of peace that Jesus supposedly preached.
So far this is what this guy posted and his reply to me via private messaging on my youtube channel is this laugher:
if u dont belive in anything then why are u promoting christianity also wallahi im not scared of debating you but what will it bring we might as well read the debates that people already did seeing that well go over the same points and neither of us are scholars
also im not the one talking against what ever u think is true your the person attacking my belief
if u have any questions about islam ask me them here or there and ill ask a scholar and answer you
if u noticed i just gave you some translations of the Quran so maybe you can realise
My response:
I'm promoting Christianity? Yeah right. Your excuse about reading other debates is just an excuse to cop out. If you have to depend on a scholar then you are already showing that you do not have the skills to take me on. As a matter of fact I'll post a challenge to you at faithfreedom.org and we can talk about Islam. The diversionary tactic of trying to compare Christianity with Islam is a total joke and shows that you are committed to ignorance. This is a democracy and I don't give a damn about your hurt feelings over my criticisms of Islam.

Let $G$ and $\Gamma$ be discrete groups, and let $\phi\colon\thinspace G\to \Gamma$ be a homomorphism.
Define its cohomological dimension $\operatorname{cd}\phi$ to be the least integer $d$ such that $\phi^\ast\colon H^i(\Gamma;M)\to H^i(G;M)$ is the zero homomorphism for all $i>d$ and all $\Gamma$-modules $M$ (where $M$ is regarded as a $G$-module via $\phi$).
Given that cohomological dimension of groups is such a well-studied invariant, I would have expected to find references to this relative notion in the literature. Alas, I cannot.
Are there any references considering cohomological dimension of homomorphisms?
and more specifically
Does anyone know an example of a surjective homomorphism $\phi$ as above for which $$\operatorname{cd} \phi < \min\lbrace \operatorname{cd}G, \operatorname{cd} \Gamma \rbrace?$$
EDIT: Thanks to Tom and Ralph's answers, I have been able to prove the following precise statement:
Let $$ 1\to A \to G \stackrel{\phi}{\to} \Gamma \to 1$$ be a central extension, where $H_\ast(A)$ is free and of finite type, and $\Gamma$ is a duality group with $\operatorname{cd}\Gamma = n$. Then $\operatorname{cd}\phi = n$.
Proof. We will show that $0\neq \phi^\ast\colon\thinspace H^n(\Gamma;\mathbb{Z}\Gamma)\to H^n(G;\mathbb{Z}\Gamma)$. This follows from the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence. Since the action of $\Gamma$ on $A$ is trivial, and $\mathbb{Z}\Gamma$ is a trivial $A$-module, the $E_2$ term has $$H^p(\Gamma;H^q(A;\mathbb{Z}\Gamma))\cong H^p(\Gamma;H^q(A)\otimes\mathbb{Z}\Gamma)$$ in the $(p,q)$-position. Since $\Gamma$ is a duality group, this is zero for $p\neq n$. Hence there are no non-trivial differentials, and the edge homomorphism $$\phi^\ast\colon\thinspace H^n(\Gamma;\mathbb{Z}\Gamma) \to H^n(G;\mathbb{Z}\Gamma)$$ is an isomorphism. $\Box$
Tom's answer shows that either centrality or finite type is necessary in the above statement. I haven't accepted it yet because I'm hoping someone will give an example with $\operatorname{cd} G <\infty$.

Closest match to your question:
How do I check the status of my application?
You can check the status of your admission application in Bear Tracks. Select Admissions from the left-hand menu, then click on Application Status. From there, you can click on Show To-Do List Items to see a list of items required and/or received. You can also check the View Comments section as it often includes important information and may require action.
Below is an explanation of the messages you may see in each of those sections:
Application Status:
Pending Review: This means your application has been successfully submitted and received, but has yet to be reviewed. Once it has been reviewed, your status may change to either Requires Action or Complete.
Requires Action: This means that your application has been reviewed, but one or more required documents still has not been received. Your To-Do List in Bear Tracks will indicate which required documents have been received and which are are still outstanding. Also be sure to check the Comments for any additional information and required actions. Once all necessary documentation has been received, your Application Status will change to Complete.
High school applicants: We will begin evaluating your application based on your self-reported courses and marks, but your Application Status will remain as "Requires Action" until your final high school transcripts have been received.
Post-secondary transfer applicants: We will begin evaluating your application based on your interim transcripts, but your Application Status will remain as "Requires Action" until your final university transcripts have been received.
Complete: This means all your required documents have been received and your application is in the process of being evaluated, either by the Registrar's Office or by your faculty.
Please note that once your Application Status is indicated as Complete, it can still take several weeks to receive an admission decision. You will be notified by email when an admission decision has been reached.
To-Do List:
Initiated: The item has been identified as a requirement, but you have not yet met the requirement or supplied the required document.
In the case of transcripts, you may have submitted unofficial or interim transcripts or self-reported marks, which will allow us to begin evaluating your application. However, the status will remain as Initiated until your official, complete transcripts have been received.
In the case of language tests, the status will remain as Initiated until you've been deemed to have met the language requirement. If you have submitted IELTS or TOEFL scores but the status is still Initiated, it may be that you have not submitted official, complete scores, or it may be that your scores do not meet the requirements.
Please note: even if your official, complete documents have been sent to the university, it can still take up to 2 weeks for this to be reflected in Bear Tracks. The date your documents are postmarked will be taken as the date on which they were received.
Complete: This means you have met the requirement. In the case of transcripts, this means your official, complete version transcripts have been received.
Still haven't found the answer you're looking for?

Willie Nelson at Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 S.W. Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 8 p.m.; $35 to $75; 954/462-0222 or www.browardcenter.org
Nelson's soybean-fueled bus will motor into Fort Lauderdale for a set of music from an artist who once typified the label "outlaw country." In his personal life, Nelson is still a maverick—living off the grid in Hawaii, speaking out on whatever political issue is on his mind and running into frequent trouble with the law over marijuana possession. But his music has taken a traditional—one might say conservative—turn. He is touring in support of "Country Music," his latest album of lovely genre standards, as well as 2009's "American Classic," a collection of songbook and jazz interpretations.
YMCA Prayer Breakfast at Boca Raton Resort and Club, 501 E. Camino Real, Boca Raton; 8:30 a.m.; $75 and up; 561/237-0944 or www.ymcaspbc.org
Regis Philbin may have finally retired from morning television, but he is by no means fading quietly into the twilight. He's still active touring and promoting his book (he'll also be appearing Wednesday at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood), which continues this morning at the Boca Resort, where he is the featured speaker at the YMCA of South Palm Beach County's 10thAnnual Prayer Breakfast. Philbin is touring in support of his critically acclaimed memoir "How I Got This Way," and he will share humorous stories of his life. He'll be joined onstage by the West Boca High School choir and the leaders of several religious organizations. Tickets are $75 to attend, but sponsors who donate between $2,000 and $5,000 will receive numerous perks; visit the website for more on that.
The Avett Brothers at Sunset Cove Amphitheater, 12551 Glades Road, Boca Raton; 8 p.m.; $35; 561/488-8069 or www.ticketmaster.com
Music as timelessly tuneful as the Avett Brothers' cauldron of Americana usually doesn't make the Billboard charts; pop this smart and sophisticated is usually relegated to niche audiences. But this trio (which becomes a quintet for tours) hit it big – and I mean, selling CDs at Starbucks and hearing their songs piping through Applebee's sound systembig– with the release of 2009's "I and Love and You," a near-perfect collection of sinuous ballads, upbeat rockers and folky in-betweeners that peaked at No. 16 on the charts. It has been three years, however, since we've heard anything new from the Brothers; hopefully, their current tour will provide fans the first chance to hear some yet-to-be-released material.
"The Searchers" and "True Grit" at Society of the Four Arts, 2 Four Arts Plaza, Palm Beach; 2:30 and 8 p.m. for "True Grit" and 5:15 p.m. for "The Searchers;" free for members or $5 nonmembers; 561/655-7227 or www.fourarts.org
Every two weeks from tonight through April 13, Palm Beach's Society of the Four Arts will be celebrating the history of the American Western film, presented in conjunction with the center's visual arts exhibition "Recapturing the Real West: The Collections of William I. Koch." The series couldn't have started on a better note than 1956's "The Searchers," which, in my mind, is the apex of the Western. John Ford's seminal psychological drama, about a Civil War veteran whose brutality and prejudices cloud his quest for his missing niece, regularly makes lists of the 10 greatest films ever made, and it presents one of John Wayne's darkest character studies.
Opening night of "Top Gun: The Musical" at Empire Stage, 1140 N. Flagler Drive, Fort Lauderdale; 8 p.m.; $25; 954/871-0168 or www.topgunftl.com
"It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what 'Top Gun' is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.''– Quentin Tarantino, acting in the 1994 movie "Sleep With Me."
The subtext of homosexuality in "Top Gun" has been around, well, ever since "Top Gun" became such a mammoth hat and launched Tom Cruise into the Hollywood stratosphere. It was only a matter of time before the story translated into the world of musical theater. "Top Gun: The Musical," which first premiered at a fringe festival in 2002 and which opens in South Florida tonight, doesn't ignore this hilarious subtext, but the show is more satire than parody of the movie. It's about the very making of a disastrous musical version of "Top Gun" financed by an ex-Navy Seal, and it contains 13 inspired songs.
Friday to Sunday
Delray Beach Garlic Festival at Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton Ave., Delray Beach; 4 to 11 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday; $10; 561/279-0907 or www.dbgarlicfest.com
The Garlic Festival bills itself as "the best stinkin' party in town," and it remains the only place you can buy garlic ice cream. Fans of the aromatic spice have been making this festival one of downtown Delray Beach's flagship annual events, and this weekend's festivities should not disappoint. Visitors can chow on garlic pizza, crab cakes, chicken kabobs and other unique delicacies, imbibe wines from around the world at the Clove & Vines Wine Garden, watch renowned toques vie at the Garlic Chef Competition and, of course, enjoy live music from local and national acts. Friday's headliner will be Uncle Kracker, a rocker with three Top 40 hits and a new album due this year; Saturday will be headlined by laid-back blues band G. Love and the Special Sauce; and Sunday will feature tribute bands covering the songs of Journey, Bon Jovi and Billy Joel.
"Five Guys Named Moe" at Wold Performing Arts Center at Lynn University, 3601 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton; 7:30 p.m.; $45 to $65; 561/237-9000 orwww.lynn.edu
Originating in London's West End in the early 1990s before transferring to Broadway, the Tony-nominated musical revue "Five Guys Named Moe" has become a perennial favorite for arts centers and regional theaters alike, and it's easy to see why: It's composed entirely of music by Louis Jordan, one of the most renowned African-American bandleaders of all-time. Dubbed "The King of the Jukebox," Jordan helped catapult swing-era audiences into the happening movements of jazz, blues and R&B. The show includes hits such as "Early in the Morning," "Saturday Night Fish Fry" and "Let the Good Times Roll."
Sleigh Bells at Revolution Live, 100 S.W. Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 8 p.m.; $23; 954/449-1025 or www.jointherevolution.net
I've reviewed both of Sleigh Bells' prior headline appearances in South Florida, and my complaint was the same both times: The set list was too damn short, and virtually identical. Armed with only the 11 songs on its 32-minute noise-pop debut "Treats," Sleigh Bells' live show was as predictable as it was enjoyable. This time, however, the duo is touring in support of its new album "Reign of Terror" and its jaunty debut single "Comeback Kid." More focused on organic instruments and pop structures than "Treats," it looks to be one of the year's hottest releases, and I can't wait to hear its songs for the first time alongside fan favorites like "A/B Machines," "Crown on the Ground" and "Rill Rill." Get on your dancin' shoes.

The Brute Mr Tasty is a frozen foods truck available in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Replacing the Mr Whoopee van from the 3D Universe, the Mr. Tasty is a large van tailored to carry and sell ice cream, being similar in design to the Boxville manufactured by Brute, but smaller and with a modified grille and headlights; overall the truck resembles a 1998 Chevrolet P30 Ice Cream Truck. Like the Mr. Whoopee, the vehicle's name is a parody of Mister Softee or Mr. Whippy. If you look closely at the artwork on the sides of the truck, you can see the "Cherry Popper" logo. The Mr. Tasty has an upgrade body kit to suit the ice cream it carries. The modifications include an air con unit, vents, cargo loading doors, side windows and advertisements.
Its large build makes the Mr. Tasty a poor performer on the road. As expected from a large and heavy truck, the vehicle is only capable of moderate speeds at 121 mph, and suffers from poorer acceleration and cornering. Its weight, however, can be exploited when using the vehicle to ram smaller vehicles off the road, but its resistance to damage is not particularly impressive. Food and Beverages are not sold in this vehicle like any other vendors do. Hitting the interaction button near to the vehicle will only have the player hail for a nearby taxi.
The Mr. Tasty comes equipped with several jingles which can be toggled by tapping the horn button. Turning it on and off will produce a different jingle each time. The faster the truck moves, the faster the tempo of the jingle. Reversing the truck will reverse the jingle. When the vehicle is moderately damaged, the jingle begins to distort. When severely damaged, the music does not play at all, although the horn still functions.
The following is a list of the jingles played by the Mr. Tasty, five of which are based on traditional folk songs and orchestral pieces:
- Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - 1:56
- Greensleeves - 0:05
- Scarborough Fair - 0:37
- Flight of the Bumblebee - 0:54
- Ride of the Valkyries - ?
- GTA IV theme song, "Soviet Connection" - 1:07
Reversing with no jingle, the van makes a "ding-a-ling" noise, rather than the standard "beep" found on most industrial vehicles.
If the player calls ZiT! while the GTA IV jingle is playing, it will activate a health cheat (code-named "DOC" on the cell phone), which blocks certain Trophies/Achievements.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Can be found near parks in Broker, Dukes, and Algonquin, usually Middle Park, Steinway Park, and Meadows Park.
- Stealing a Mr Tasty that is parked or when appears on road will often result in Niko saying "Stealing ice cream trucks? What is wrong with me?".
- If a police officer steals a Mr Tasty in the event that his cruiser crashes or there is nothing else on the road and he makes an arrest, he will activate the jingle as if it were a siren.
- For some reason, textures of the decals includes a what appears to be the refrigeration unit's vents, likely for being faster placing these rather than modeling the unit.

Raynaud disease and phenomenon are problems with the blood vessels. It causes blood flow problems to the fingers ears, nose, and lips.
Raynaud disease (primary Raynaud) is the most common form. There are no other associated medical conditions.
Raynaud phenomenon (secondary Raynaud) is the more severe form. It occurs along with other medical conditions such as:
Blood vessels normally narrow in response to cold temperatures or emotional stress. Raynaud is an exaggerated response to these triggers. The narrow blood vessels make it difficult to get enough blood flow to certain areas of the body. Fingers are affected most often.
It is not known what causes this abnormal reaction, but it is probably related to a problem of the nervous system. Secondary Raynaud is believed to be caused by the associated disease.
Raynaud is more common in females and those aged 15-40 years old. Factors that may increase your chance of Raynaud include:
An attack of Raynaud may last a few minutes to a few hours. It usually comes on in response to the cold or during emotional distress. During an attack, symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
There are several ways to reduce the symptoms of Raynaud during an attack:
Try to stimulate blood circulation by wiggling your fingers and toes. Make wide circles with your arms.
When the above measures fail, medications may help relieve symptoms. Medications that can affect blood vessel size include:
Rarely, surgery may be done when symptoms are persistent and debilitating. This involves cutting the sympathetic nerves that supply the affected fingers. These nerves control the expansion and narrowing of blood vessels.
Chemicals may be injected into the nerve that is responsible for the narrowed blood vessel. The chemical stops the nerve.
Treating the underlying disorder will help manage the symptoms of Secondary Raynaud.
There are no current guidelines for preventing Primary or Secondary Raynaud. To help prevent Raynaud symptoms:
