Music City Corporate Convention Council
The Music City Corporate Convention Council is an eight-member group made up of community and business leaders working to engage the local community to bring convention business to Nashville. Marty Dickens, chair of the Convention Center Authority, and Bob Patterson, NCVC board member and partner at Bradley, Arant, Boult, Cummings, co-chair the council.
"Hospitality is a critical economic driver for our city, with visitor taxes bringing in much needed revenue, jobs and development for Nashville," said Bob Patterson, co-chair of the council. "Investing in the hospitality industry is a payoff for everyone. Our mission is to recruit local leaders to be part of that success."
The corporate initiative is part of the NCVC's long-term strategic plan, which serves as a roadmap to elevate Nashville to a top-tier destination. Key elements of the plan include engaging members of the business community to be advocates and sales ambassadors for the city and increasing understanding of the value of tourism dollars to the local economy.
"When it comes to the music industry, hospitality or the business community, we're all part of the same fabric – working to make Nashville the best city in the country with a high quality of life. It's only natural that we would come together to do business locally on a more strategic level," said Butch Spyridon, president and CEO of the NCVC. "Locals have many professional connections to national and regional organizations. If they open the door, we can do the heavy lifting."
Music City Corporate Convention Council Steering Committee:
Marty Dickens, chair of Convention Center Authority, Co-Chair
Bob Patterson, Bradley, Arant, Boult, Cummings, Co-Chair
David Anderson, HCA
George Anderson, Anderson Benson
Margaret Dolan, Ingram Industries
Bert Mathews, The Mathews Company
Ron Samuels, Avenue Bank
Mike Shmerling, XMi Holdings Inc.
Each year Nashville welcomes over 13.1 million visitors who spend more than $5.42 billion, making the hospitality industry the city's second largest behind healthcare. Taxes on visitors have one of the quickest returns on investment, collected monthly and going directly into Metro's overall budget to provide critical city services.
The council meets quarterly and will seek non-tax support through membership and sponsorship dollars. For more information about participating in the council's efforts, contact Caroline Smith at email@example.com.

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department says an 11-year-old boy accidentally fired a handgun and struck his 9-year-old brother in the leg at their home in Spring Valley.
The incident happened Saturday afternoon. The sheriff's department says the 11-year-old was unloading the gun when he accidentally fired it. The 9-year-old was taken to a hospital in Menomonie before being airlifted to Regions Hospital in St. Paul.
The sheriff's department is investigating the shooting but has not released the victim's name. A Regions media representative says Sunday that the hospital cannot release his condition without being provided his name.

Schumer wants federal funds to keep NFTA counterterrorism team going
The federal government needs to act quickly to provide more funding for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's counterterrorism team, which is at risk of disbanding unless more money is made available, Sen. Charles E. Schumer said Tuesday.
Schumer, who was at NFTA Police Headquarters in Cheektowaga, said he has called on the Department of Homeland Security to make anti-terrorism funding a priority for the NFTA's explosive-detection team of six officers and two dogs.
Funding for the counterterrorism team runs out this month.
"Western New York is no stranger to terror and security threats – including the plot to do unspeakable damage to a passenger train over the Whirlpool Bridge," Schumer said.
"Clearly, now is not the time to dial back on border and transit security," he said. "However, if the Department of Homeland Security doesn't step up and approve the NFTA's application for a counterterrorism grant, that is exactly what could happen, as the vital NFTA's Western New York Counterterrorism Team would be disbanded."
The NFTA used funding from a Department of Homeland Security grant program to create the explosive-detection team, but last year, when the NFTA asked for more money to continue the unit, its application was denied.
A new round of grant applications will begin this month.
Schumer is not only asking Homeland Security to fund the NFTA application, but to do it quickly so the team stays intact.
The NFTA team coordinates counterterrorism efforts with the Department of Homeland Security, Buffalo Police, FBI and Customs and Border Protection, with a focus on both of the region's airports and its light-rail and bus systems.
Schumer noted that with federal budget constraints, these grants tend to go to larger, coastal cities, but the senator made the case that Buffalo is the second-largest border crossing on the U.S.-Canadian border and that recent history has shown the potential for terrorist action in the region.
He referred to the recently foiled terrorist plot to attack a passenger train that runs through Buffalo and Niagara Falls on its route between Toronto and New York City.
"The Canadian terror plot, the Lackawanna Six and the terribly unfortunate events in Boston should make us more vigilant in New York's big cities and their transit systems, not less," the senator said. "I am urging the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize the NFTA counterterrorism force, so that these highly trained specialists and their canine team can continue providing expertise and doing lifesaving work in Western New York."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Florida State's Nick Crowell, an assistant coach for the men's tennis team, has been named the USTA Florida Junior Coach of the Year. This summer Crowell coached the Florida USTA Junior U18 team that went on to win the National Team Championship. Crowell will be honored at the 61st USTA Florida Annual Meeting and Tennis Celebration on Dec. 4.
"Winning this award for me was a great honor," said Crowell. "In coaching the team I felt like I was in the right place at the right time. The junior team hasn't won since 1983 so just to be a part of that was very special."
"USTA Florida every year gives out a junior competitive coach of the year and this season Nick Crowell won the award," said Andy Gladstone, Competitive Tennis Coordinator for USTA Florida. "It's a very prestigious award with a long list of great coaches who have won the award. I could just tell his passion for his kids and how well he could not just pick up on their games but on their personalities and attitudes."
This summer the Florida USTA Junior U18 team won 4-3 to beat the No. 3 seed Midwest after upsetting the No. 1 seed Southern California 4-3. Crowell has coached the team for the past three years.
"He took the Florida Boys 18s National Team to the University of Illinois for the team championships and won it," continued Gladstone. "They called it one of the greatest upsets in 25 years. He took good players and got them to believe they were better than they were. They played unbelievable there."
Not only has Crowell coached the USTA Junior team and the Florida State men's tennis team he is also the high performance director of the Florida State tennis camps. This past season, the Seminoles went to the NCAA tournament for the eighth consecutive season.

The task was presented for more than a year of anticipation : Our XI International convention was going to take place in the North of our country, in Monterrey (MTY), Nuevo Le??n.
I decided to get there two days before. My wife and I wanted to visit the Universal Forum of Cultures, and also I wanted to be close to my friends of MTY to see if they needed something.
We took a romantic walk through the "Paseo Santa Luc?¡a" (Tuesday), which is a road with a small river aside, something like the one you have in San Antonio, Texas. And we also saw the 2501 inmigrants, which are sculptures made from an artist from Oaxaca, our hometown.
We also visited (Wednesday) the presentation "Isis and the feathered serpent" in the Forum... very impresive. It shows the similarities between the Egyptian and the Aztec Cultures. Then we went to "Americas and Inmigration" where you can learn that everything migrates, like people, money, culture, food, nature, etc. We also saw the expo of artcrafts from Mexico.
Next day (Thursday) we went to the Glass Museum. Glass is one of the mayor activities in MTY, with steel. And then we went back to our host hotel to say HI to our fiends that were getting to the event.
On Friday we went to Bocapalma, which is a park close to a dam, and there we had lunch with friends from our country, Canada, USA and Central America. Some guys did a longer ride to Rayones, just to try some twisty Mexican roads.
On Saturday we rode to the ecological park of Chipinque, and then we had lunch in El Cortijo San Felipe, where a rodeo and a lot of surprises were waiting for us.
At the evening we had the closing ceremony, with casino games and some raffles. A lucky friend of us won the R 1200 S, which was the main price. On that ceremony, with a delicious supper, wine, Mexican beer (of course !) and all you need to have a wonderfull time, we gave two important awards : Ken O'Malley, form Mandeville, Louissiana, was named Honorific Ambassador of the BMW Mexico National Moto Club for the U.S.A. and Carol Taub, from Toronto, Canada, got the same award, but for Canada (of course). This is the FIRST time we have these recogitions in our National Moto Club, and we are very happy and honored to do so to two of our closets friends.
And............ My friend Jean Copas gave me a recognition from the BMW MOA, for all I have done to bring our countries together through our sport.
Well, sorry about my English, which is far from perfect, but let's go to see some photographs !!!
Self-portrait with my love in the front (I mean my wife).
Presence of Oaxaca in MTY : 2501 made of clay and two of flesh and bones.
My wife, Aurora, at the gate of "Isis y la Serpiente Emplumada".
The steel structures in the Fundidora Park are the "main plate".
An old drugstore in the Glass Musem.
Parking lote at Bocapalma, in our first day ride.
The "Halcones of Monterrey" which was the host Moto Club. (Halcones means Hawks).
With Rita and Ken O'Malley, in Bocapalma.
Our Canadian friends not only saved their table, they saved their Mexican beers too !!!
Our friends from Veracruz took a van of the Caf?® de la Parroquia, the most famous coffee in Mexico.
Lunch at Bocapalma : goat, beef, etc. . . .
Second day ride ... We love our RT !!!
The Ecological Park of Chipinque is very attractive, especially if you share it with your friends and their BMW motorcycles.
This tallllllllll guy is Jim, from Texas. The Mexican ladies love to have photos with him.
They threw me to the arena in Cortijo San Felipe's rodeo. Let's see what the President is made of ...
Ol?® !!!!!!!!!! (Those horns were real !!!)
Marco Antonio, one of my closets friends and former National President, was more clever, doing the bullfighting with a BMW helmet.
And here are the Presidents of the affiliated Clubs playing "poker". Nobody moves !!!
Carol sending a messege, once she got her certificate as an Honorific Ambassador.
And Ken O'Malley, performing his specch.
It was a wonderful experience being with all our friends from the USA and Canada.
We really hope you join us next year. Our main event will take place in Jalisco, visiting Guadalajara, Tequila and Puerto Vallarta.
See you in Gillette 2008 !!

Abrupt Action Components
The three most popular spring sports are golf, softball and tennis, all of which require abrupt action components rather than more consistent playing effort. For example, almost all of the time spent completing 18 holes of golf is relatively low on the physical exertion scale. However, the periodic golf drives involve an explosive swinging action that places considerable stress on the musculoskeletal system.
Softball is similar in the swinging aspect, but offers a complicating factor with an all-out sprint to first base following a hit. This cold-to-hot running action has been responsible for numerous hamstring pulls and other muscle-tendon injuries.
Other than the pitcher and catcher, playing the field is about the same as batting from an activity perspective. You may spend several minutes standing still, then suddenly you move as quickly as possible to the ball and throw it as hard as possible to the appropriate base player. The abruptness of these high-effort movements increases the risk of injury.
Tennis is a more active sport, with a large percentage of movement time. However, the game of tennis is characterized by stop-and-go activity, with abrupt forward, backward, and lateral movements requiring high acceleration and deceleration forces. These often repeated actions can overstress the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the lower body, and the frequent swinging and serving movements can cause considerable trauma to upper body joint structures such as the shoulders, elbows and wrists.
Understanding that these spring sports require abrupt muscle actions should underscore the importance of keeping warm, staying loose, and stretching before every golf drive or batting experience. Be sure to dress warmly, preferably in layers that can be easily removed at appropriate times. It is also advisable to keep moving, such as walking instead of using golf carts, and shifting your weight from foot to foot when playing the field in softball. Prior to driving or batting, spend at least one minute stretching the trunk and shoulders and taking progressively harder practice swings. Softball players should also warm-up and stretch their leg muscles in anticipation of running to first base or farther.
Physical Conditioning Components
One of the risk-factors associated with spring sports is the fact that they follow the typically less active winter season. Although some fitness enthusiasts do exercise throughout the winter months, the conditioning activity may not be appropriate for their spring sport selection. For example, treadmill walking/jogging and stationary cycling are excellent exercises for conditioning the cardiovascular system, but they have little application to swinging a club or bat, sprinting bases, or accelerating and decelerating abruptly on a tennis court. While cardiovascular conditioning is strongly encouraged from a health perspective, an effective spring sport preparation program should emphasize strengthening and stretching exercises for an injury resistant musculoskeletal system.
Recommended Strength Training Program
Although it is tempting to target specific muscles, an overall muscle strengthening approach is far more advisable. Comprehensive muscle conditioning reduces the risk of overuse and imbalance injuries, and enhances performance potential more than doing a few selected exercises. For example, our golf conditioning program includes strength exercises for the front thigh, rear thigh, inner thigh, outer thigh, low back, abdominals, chest, upper back, shoulders, front arm, rear arm, forearms and neck. Over the past three years, our golfers significantly increased their driving power, and experienced no injuries during the golf season following their strength training program.

SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Francisco Giants are totally in favor of instant replay.
As soon as Xavier Nady was called safe after sliding into home plate to apparently pull the San Diego Padres to 4-3 on Chase Headley's bases-loaded double in the third inning Sunday, Giants manager Bruce Bochy popped out of the dugout to challenge. After 88 seconds, the umpires called Nady out and a run came off the board. Replays showed Buster Posey made a swipe tag on Nady before he touched the plate.
''I like replay, and obviously it changed the game today,'' Bochy said after the Padres held on for a 4-3 victory that snapped a three-game losing streak. ''That's a run on the board. It helped us win the game by getting it right.''
Tim Lincecum liked it, too, because it helped him get his first victory of 2014.
''We could have a tie game right now,'' Lincecum said. ''I'm just glad we were able to get an out right there. That was huge. That inning could still be going on right now. You never know,'' Lincecum said.
Posey hit a two-run home run and the Giants had only three hits. Padres pitchers retired 23 of the final 24 batters and the Giants didn't get a hit after the second inning.
The Giants had scored only one run in each of their previous three games.
Bochy's challenge proved to be big because Nick Hundley homered off Lincecum on the first pitch of the seventh. Had Bochy not challenged, the game would have been tied.
''I knew I was going to challenge it because I thought he tagged him,'' Bochy said. ''Buster said he tagged him. Where he was, he had to be out. He was in front of the plate, so if we tagged him, I knew he couldn't have gotten to the plate.''
Posey said he knew he tagged Nady.
''That's tough at full speed, though,'' Posey said as he watched a replay in the clubhouse after the game.
Bochy, a former catcher, agreed.
''It's the toughest call to make in baseball, the play at home plate.''
Headley's double went into the right field corner, bringing in Venable and Smith ahead of Nady's slide.
''I was hoping he got in there or was hoping it was inconclusive,'' Headley said. ''That's the great thing about replay, it takes it out of the hands of the umpire if it's a close play.''
Manager Bud Black said the reversal didn't take ''a lot out of us. It would have been nice. But I think we are seeing a new era in front of our eyes with replay.''
Said Bochy: ''Even when you think he's out, your emotions get involved. It's got to be conclusive. You've got to remind yourself of that.''
Lincecum (1-1) was chased by Hundley's first homer of the season. Lincecum allowed three runs and seven hits, struck out seven and walked three.
Sergio Romo pitched the ninth for his fifth save in as many chances. He issued a leadoff walk to Chase Headley, who advanced on a wild pitch before Romo retired the side.
Lincecum improved to 14-6 in 27 starts against San Diego, his most against any opponent. Lincecum threw his first career no-hitter at Petco Park on July 13.
It was the ninth time in 10 games the Giants were involved in a one-run decision.
''Unbelievable, man,'' Bochy said. ''I've been on a few runs where you play tight games, but never like this. A few more gray hairs, but it goes with the territory. It's who we are.''
Walks hurt Padres starter Robbie Erlin (1-2).
Posey homered an estimated 427 feet to left-center on the first pitch he saw from Erlin in the first, his fourth. Hunter Pence was aboard on a one-out walk.
Angel Pagan hit a two-run, bases-loaded single with one out in the second. Erlin had loaded the bases by walking Brandon Hicks, allowing a single by Brandon Crawford and walking Lincecum.
Erlin allowed four runs and three hits in six innings, walked three and struck out three. After allowing the two-run single by Pagan, Erlin retired his final 14 batters.
NOTES: Lincecum improved to 8-3 with a 2.68 ERA in 15 career starts at Petco Park. ... San Diego 2B Jedd Gyorko got the day off. He had played every inning of the Padres' first 18 games. Alexi Amarista started in his place. ... The Giants head to Colorado, where they open a three-game series Monday night, with RHP Ryan Vogelsong (0-0, 5.40) scheduled to face LHP Jorge De La Rosa (0-3, 7.58). The Padres will be at Milwaukee to start a three-game set, with RHP Andrew Cashner (2-1, 1.27) scheduled to oppose RHP Wily Peralta (2-0, 1.96).

The Perks of Web Activism
- 1 Artículo
With the rise of social media and online communities, the tech savvy young are continually penetrating into various different channels as they ardently voice their opinions and rally for change. This is one of the advantages of today's technological advancement that is applicable not only limited to youths but also the older generations. With the privileges at hand, Indonesia was capable of being part of an online global social activist movement called Change.org, allowing individuals to sign and create petitions for the greater cause of communities from home and around the world. Indonesia is proud enough to have established a legitimate branch that first stood in January 2011. Although the website is still in beta-test mode, the first three months were the pin points to the site's popularity and success, gaining nearly 50,000 members and hundreds of online petitions posted.
The numbers were greatly influenced by the many online influencers and artists that were also joining the movement and signing for the petitions that have been created. The advantage of this is that local news becomes a nation-wide concern, considering that members are spread from all across the country. Also, online media becomes a prominent conduit of the petitions and the website itself where people actively participate and seek out the website in order to get involved directly to a certain petition. According to techniasia.com, a lot of Change.org's members are not newcomers to offline activism where the campaign director names Usman Hamid is a human rights expert and a former director of the National Comission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence or shortened as Kontras in Indonesia. Another member named Arief Aziz, who is positioned as communications director, co-founded TEDxJakarta.
I really think that the digital age has allowed individuals to do so many things for a greater cause. When utilized properly, websites like Change.org are born. They are not just created in order to rally the youth masses or create an online buzz, but they are undoubtedly impactful where the petitions that were at hand have influenced businesses, politics and even environmental issues. It is up to us to begin the change and we are more than lucky to have experienced the digital era. The more youths rally to show their concerns and effort for change, the more reasons there are to say that indeed the digital era is more than just their many flaws.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford College senior and Chapel Hill area student Bevin Herrmann-Bell (309 Birch Circle, Chapel Hill, NC 27517) was urged by her French professor, Dr. Catherine Schmitz, to enter a writing contest sponsored by the French Consulate of the Southeast in Atlanta. She did so, never thinking she might actually win.
Think again. Now, after tying for first-place in the contest, Hermann-Bell is busy planning for an all-expense paid two-week trip to Roussillon in southern France.
"To win this competition is truly an honor," she says. The competition asked participants to incorporate 10 French words chosen by a committee into a writing piece between 10 and 25 lines on a given theme. The pieces, all of which were written in French, then were evaluated and winners were selected. Before her trip, Hermann-Bell will travel to Atlanta with Schmitz to accept the award at a reception.
Hermann-Bell, a French and intercultural studies major, has been studying French since childhood. "I love learning about foreign cultures," she says. "As we increasingly find ourselves coming into contact with different cultures, the ability to speak a language and understand the culture becomes an invaluable resource in diplomatic mediation."
While she felt confident in the piece she submitted, Hermann-Bell didn't think she would actually win. "I've never really won anything like this. When I actually received the letter in the mail, I was with Dr. Schmitz. Needless to say, she was very excited and we made a bit of a commotion in the dining hall."

Axford takes over for Perez as Indians closer
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — John Axford won't be helping the hitters anymore.
The former Brewers closer got a surprise when he was traded to St. Louis last August. The Cardinals told him that something in his delivery was tipping off the hitters about what pitch was on the way.
In a game where any little advantage can make a difference, it was a revelation.
"If they figured it out, you don't know who else did and how they used the information," the Cleveland Indians' new closer said on Sunday.
Axford watched video, saw the telltale giveaway and changed it. He was a trustworthy reliever as the Cardinals won the NL pennant and lost to Boston in the World Series.
The tip-off there? He was ready to move back into a closer's role for someone.
The Indians decided to make him the focal point of an overhauled bullpen.
"He was one of the most dominant relievers in the National League for a couple of years," general manager Chris Antonetti said. "And then I think what we saw with St. Louis at the end of the year seemed to indicate that he was back closer to that guy that he'd been with Milwaukee.
"He's got electric stuff. And when he's got the ability to be really successful."
He's already well ahead of where he was a year ago.
The 30-year-old closer pitched for Canada in the World Baseball Classic and had a tired shoulder heading into the season. In one exhibition game, his fastball was all over the radar gun.
"I threw a fastball 89 miles per hour, but also threw one 96," he said. "Just a weird variation. It's not like I was trying to throw one harder or throw one slower. It just happened that way."
It kept happening as the season started, and Axford got knocked around, costing him the closer's job and some of his confidence.
"I just had that tough start in Milwaukee," he said. "When you give up nine runs in your first four outings, five homers in the first half-month, it's not really helpful to a reliever at all."
Axford's shoulder came around, and so did the results. He allowed only one run over 32 outings from mid-May to mid-July, going a career-best 20 1-3 innings without allowing a run during that time.
The Cardinals were impressed. They traded for him in August, and Axford allowed only two earned runs in 13 appearances heading into the playoffs. He gave up one run in six postseason appearances.
It was more like the way he pitched earlier in his career with the Brewers. Axford set a club record with 46 saves in 2011 and converted 49 consecutive save chances from 2011-12.
The Indians needed someone to replace closer Chris Perez, who lost the job late last season. Axford got to move into a closer role with a team that reached the playoffs last season.
"There were a few different teams out there that were in the hunt as well," Axford said. "I didn't want to just pitch for any team. It had to be a perfect fit for me.
"Cleveland was just that perfect fit."
Starter Aaron Harang also found the Indians to be a good fit. He agreed to a minor league contract on Saturday and was invited to camp to compete for the fifth spot in the rotation.
The 35-year-old pitcher went to spring training with the Dodgers last year competing for a spot in the rotation, but got moved into the bullpen. He was traded to Colorado, which in turn traded him to Seattle, where he went 5-11 with a 5.76 ERA. He finished the season with the Mets, making four starts.
"I'd been in the National League my whole career," Harang said, before his first workout on Sunday. "I felt there was a little bit of a transition coming over to the AL. I know we face teams in interleague, but it's different when it's on a day-to-day basis and you're seeing a lot of faces you don't see all the time.
"I know what I have to do now to make the adjustments after spending last year in Seattle."

Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair Review
December 3rd, 2009Table Top Baby Set
At $249, it's pricey for a high chair. However, what most parents don't realize is that the Stokke Tripp Trapp is weight tested up to 200 pounds. Therefore, it can be used by parents as well! The stength of the chair allows kids to use it as a desk chair when they're done with it at the dinner table. It can be used with the Stokke CARE Changing Tabledesk
The Tripp Trapp comes in 10 cool colors to match your dining room, or to provide contrast to make a bold statement. Parents can also choose from several fun chair cushion choices, making the Tripp Trapp the most stylish high chair we've ever seen.
There are several height adjustment options for both the seat and the footrest, accomodating the growth of your child for years to come.
At Pampered Tot, we sell hundreds of these every month, and for good reason. It's built well, made in Slovenia of solid wood. It has more uses than just a typical high chair. It's also really easy to clean. There are no plastic parts with hard-to-clean and hard-to-reach nooks and crevices. It's also not a huge eye soar. The chair blends into the decor of your home, instead of created a whole new theme.
Sleak, stylish, and unbelievably practical, this chair gets high marks from us. As a store owner and as a parent with 2 kids and 2 Tripp Trapp Chairs, I give this product and the Norwegian company that designed and built it very high marks.Tweet This Post

voluminous btatutary code abundantly and formidably guarding against all vio lation of public and private right but with a basis of religion apparently deep enough and strong enough to inspire

Guild Wars 2 hints at massive world event this month
Guild Wars 2 is soon to host a "massive one-time world event that will change Tyria forever".
The MMORPG's website advises that "something stirs in the Sea of Sorrows", along with a few screenshots.
That's all we know about the upcoming world event, except that players will be tasked with solving "a mystery of monstrous proportions in The Lost Shores". Please mean kraken.
The update is due on November 15, but regular players have a chance to preview whatever this maritime-themed surprise is, as some sort of sneak peek is included in the latest update, according to a tease on the forum.
Thanks, Ausgamers.

Two U.S. Soldiers, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and The Greatest Movie Never Made
by GREG MITCHELL
This is the price your customers see. Edit list price
About the Book
In his latest book and e-book, award-winning author Greg Mitchell probes a turning point in U.S. history: the shocking suppression of film footage, for decades, shot by a U.S. Army film team in Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- a wrong turn with staggering consequences even today. The cover-up even extended to Hollywood, with President Truman censoring an MGM movie. Print edition of "Atomic Cover-Up" ONLY available here, but in various E-book forms (including for all phones, iPad, Mac and PCs) for just $3.99 here: http://www.amazon.com/ATOMIC-COVER-UP-Soldiers-Hiroshima-ebook/dp/B005CKK9IG Kindle not required. Or order print edition directly from author, autographed. Discount for bulk copies. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com David Friend of Vanity Fair calls it "a new work of revelatory scholarship and insight by Greg Mitchell that will speak to all of those concerned about the lessons of the nuclear age." This is a detective story, a profile of two remarkable military officers, and one of the last little-told stories of World War II (and its aftermath). And there was no WikiLeaks to get the film aired. Updated to the present day, it could be titled "From Hiroshima to Fukushima." Watch 2-minute trailer which includes some of the hidden footage: http://youtu.be/eZYvodtZDTc Or visit the author's blog: http://gregmitchellwriter.blogspot.com/ Mitchell, co-author of the classic "Hiroshima in America" and eleven other books, has written about parts of this story for leading newspapers and magazines, but now tells the full saga, based on new research -- from the Truman Library to Nagasaki. How did this happen? Why? And what did the two military officers, Daniel McGovern and Herbert Sussan, try to do about it, for decades? "Atomic Cover-up" answers all of these questions in a quick-paced but often surprising narrative. All footage shot by Japanese newsreel teams was also seized and buried for decades. The book opens this way: "This is the story of twenty hours of film footage, blazing with color, shot in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early 1946 by a U.S. military crew, that would change the lives of many people, including two American soldiers, and me. Its effect on us, and others, is deep and mysterious, because the film was hidden for decades and almost no one could see it, although that is also why its influence on each of us was so profound. While this unique and disturbing color film languished in obscurity, the atomic bombings nearly fell into 'a hole in human history,' as the writer Mary McCarthy observed, and a costly nuclear arms race ensued. A myriad of nuclear threats plague us to this day." Mitchell's most recent books include "The Age of WikiLeaks" and "Why Obama Won." His "The Campaign of the Century" won the Goldsmith Book Prize. Robert Jay Lifton, author of "Death in Life" (winner of the National Book Award) and numerous other acclaimed books, writes: "Greg Mitchell has been a leading chronicler for many years of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and American behavior toward them. Now he has written the first book devoted to the suppression of historic film footage shot by Japanese and Americans in the atomic cities in 1945 and 1946. This cover-up paved the way for the costly and dangerous nuclear arms race and contributed to the widespread reliance on nuclear power."

COMMERCE CITY, Colo.- The Curse of Commerce City has finally been broken.
Substitute Jaime Castrillon's 70th-minute equalizer gave the Colorado Rapids a 2-2 draw against rival Real Salt Lake, but more importantly it gave Colorado the Rocky Mountain Cup for the first time in seven years on a stormy Saturday night on a rain-soaked Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
After the Rapids recorded a win and a draw earlier this season against their Rocky Mountain rivals, Salt Lake needed a victory to re-claim the Cup, and Alvaro Saborio's 21st minute penalty looked like it would hold up as the difference after an early flurry of goals. But deep into the second half, Castrillon's header allowed the Rapids to dramatically hoist the coveted silverware for the first time since 2006.
The draw, however, did little to settle the clustered Western Conference standings, with Salt Lake (11-7-5) getting their first result in three games and staying atop the West at 38 points, while Colorado (9-7-8) collected their seventh-straight result and their 35th point of the season.
On a night filled with bitten fingernails across the Rocky Mountains, naturally, the goals came early and often. Seventy-seven seconds into the match, Kyle Beckerman set up the opening goal in his first match back from the Gold Cup. Sprinting down the right side of the box, Beckerman delivered a perfect box for a wide-open Ned Grabavoy for the easy second minute opener, and the quick goal sent a sizeable RSL traveling contingency into a frenzy.
But the visitors' excitement didn't last long. On a harmless-looking long ball into space, Rapids striker Deshorn Brown used nothing but pure speed to wrestle his way around Real defender Nat Borchers, and Brown fired the ball into the back of the net for the ninth-minute equalizer.
Ten minutes later, though, and one-on-one with Real Salt Lake's Robbie Findley in the box, Rapids defender Drew Moor lunged across Findley attempting to make a last-ditch tackle. Moor caught both of Findley's legs, resulting in a clear penalty that Moor didn't argue.
But in a match already filled with a laundry list of story lines and drama, Mother Nature couldn't help but get involved, either. A thunderstorm blew through just as Saborio was lining up to take his penalty kick, resulting in a 62-minute weather delay.
OPTA Chalkboard: Rapids come from behind twice to earn draw
With the Rapids pushing for the equalizer in the second half, Nick Rimando, just back from Gold Cup duties, came up large with two fantastic stops on a 53rd minute corner kick to keep the visitors ahead. But then, the Rapids found their magic.
Rookie Dillon Powers snuck a brilliant through ball down the wing to left back Chris Klute, who delivered another terrific cross to Castrillon, who headed home for his first goal of the season.
Only Rimando's brilliance kept Colorado from collecting all three points, as his reflex save on Brandon McDonald's accidental tip-back in the 87th and on Shane O'Neill's short-range blast in the 88th allowed Salt Lake to salvage a point.
The Rapids will hit the road for three of their next four games, starting next Sunday at the StubHub Center against Chivas USA (11 pm ET, UniMas), while Real Salt Lake heads home for their US Open Cup semifinal with the Portland Timbers at the Rio Tinto (9:30 pm ET) before hosting the Houston Dynamo in regular season action next Saturday (9:30 pm ET, MLS Live).
Scoring Summary:
RSL - Ned Grabavoy (Kyle Beckerman) 2'
COL - Deshorn Brown 6 (Marvell Wynne 2) 9'
RSL - Alvaro Saborio (penalty kick) 21'

BMO Harris Bank: 20-Year Mortgage Saves You Big Bucks
Interest Savings Outweigh the Monthly Payment Increase
By: Marketwired .
Feb. 12, 2013 11:42 AM
LEAWOOD, KS -- (Marketwire) -- 02/12/13 -- If you could save thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage AND pay the loan off 10 years sooner, would you be willing to spend just a few hundred dollars more each month on your mortgage payment?*
BMO Harris Bank knows that it is important for a homeowner to choose the right mortgage. With a number of options available, you should tailor your mortgage to your lifestyle, your current financial situation, and your risk tolerance. For those looking to be mortgage free sooner, choosing a mortgage with a 20-year term instead of a 30-year term can save thousands in interest costs over the life of a mortgage without a significant increase in your monthly payment.
Here is an example of how choosing a 20-year fixed rate mortgage instead of a 30-year could save you more than $52,000:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20-Year Term 30-Year Term ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage Value $200,000 $200,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage Rate* 4 percent 4 percent ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monthly Principal and Interest Payment Amount $1,212 $955 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Interest Cost $90,871 $143,739 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The chart above assumes an average interest rate of 4 percent over the life of the mortgage. The rate shown is used for illustrative purposes. Typically, rates are lower for a 20-year term which may save you additional interest costs.
"In addition to the interest savings from the shorter term, a 20-year mortgage rate is currently lower than a longer term; which means you could save additional money," said Robert Vejar, Vice President, Kansas Mortgage Market Manager, BMO Harris Bank. "A 20-year term ensures that homeowners can build equity quicker and pay off their debt faster."
With interest still at historic lows, it's not too late to revisit your financial goals and find a mortgage solution that makes sense for you.

Wealthy families have long lived in grand monuments to their riches, such as the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif. But castle homes aren't reserved for the super-rich or those holding European titles. Although it's commonly thought of as an Old World practice, Americans live in castle-style homes in all corners of the New World. This collection features representatives from Washington state to Florida, each with varying degrees of castle features. Some carry legacies of famous tycoons, while others were built for private families indulging a case of turret syndrome.
What follows are 10 castle homes that are for sale or were recently on the market, provided by Zillow and Realtor.com. They are presented in order from the most humble (well—as modest as house can be when it takes the form of a castle) to the most sprawling and luxurious.

Getting the four feet of a sawbench, chair or stool all in the same plane is a challenge for some woodworkers. You can end up nibbling a bar stool into an ottoman if you take the wrong approach.
I'm sure there is some way to do this with the power of math, triangles and unicorn poo, but this is how I was taught to do it by chairmaker David Fleming. There is no math. No measuring. And it works every time.
The sawbench shown in the video was a birthday gift from a friend who ran out of time before he leveled the legs. The music is from freeplaymusic.com and is the song "From Little Rock to Glasgow."

Google Play offers entertainment from a single source in the cloud
Available basically for free (with charges for some services and content), Google recently rolled out the public release of Google Play (play.google.com), which integrates movies, music, apps, games and books under a single banner. One interesting feature of Google Play is its "Play Anywhere" feature, where the user can access content from any Internet connected device including computers, tablets, smart phones, compatible video games, Internet connected televisions, and other devices. According to Google, Play puts "all your entertainment in one place." Using Google Play as a single source for content, the user has access to " ... over 450,000 apps, millions of songs and books, and thousands of movies." Almost all items in Play can be sampled for free, as well as free access to ratings, reviews, screenshots, and movie trailers.
Google Play utilizes the latest in cloud computing, where computing is used as a service, rather than a product. In cloud computing, a process mastered by Google, and resources, software, and information are shared and provided to computers and other devices over a network (typically the Internet), rather than being installed on individual computers. In non geek-speak, this means that subscribers to Google Play (basic subscription is free with a common Google registration and logon) can access any of their entertainment anywhere they have Internet access, using any Internet capable device. Some examples cited by Google include new books purchased through Google Play, similar to the way they are purchased for reading on Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and other commercial reader devices. The books purchased on Google Play can be read interchangeably on an Android phone or tablet, and then on any Internet connected computer or other device using any operating system and browser; no special software is required, and no syncing of devices is necessary. This means that if a book is being read on a tablet and then bookmarked, when accessed later on any compatible device such as a home computer, the reader picks up precisely at the bookmark, without the need to synch or otherwise connect the devices. The same applies to movies rented on Play; they can be rented on one device and played on any other compatible device, including smart phones and other computers. It is no different for music albums; purchased through Play, they can be played at home, work, or anywhere there is a compatible device, regardless of the type of device used for the initial purchase. Using Google's free cloud service and Play, the purchased or rented content is available anywhere there is Internet access, without any required special or proprietary software.
Google Play also integrates a degree of social networking where information, comments, evaluations, and content may be exchanged using Google's social networking service Google +, e-mail, and text messaging. Much of the content, including music, books and apps, can be shared using Google Play and Google +, where friends (circles on Google +) can discuss and chat about the different modes of entertainment. Music purchased on Google Play can be shared with friends on Google +, giving them a "free listen" (Google Play's term), and any music that your friends purchased on Play can likewise be shared with you, giving you a "free listen."
While Google Play has a massive library of millions of books, movies, music albums and tracks, and apps for sale, there is also a huge library of content that is totally free to registered users. Any and all content, either purchased or free, is automatically stored in the cloud in the user's personal library, and can be accessed anywhere by computer, Android smart phone, tablet, or other device with Internet access. The content of the personal music library cannot just be streamed over the Internet to the user, but can also be "pinned" to a mobile device for offline playback in circumstances where the user is not online, or does not otherwise have Internet access at that time or place.
It is common for many users to have large, existing music libraries with content from sources other than Google Play; that is not a problem, as Google Play offers free cloud (online) storage for up to 20,000 songs already owned by the user. This personal music collection can be organized in the cloud along with the content obtained from Google Play into a single library accessible anywhere and anytime with Internet access via the cloud. This free storage of personally owned music can also be used as a backup, freeing up storage space on the user's computer, or otherwise having redundant copies of a valuable collection.
As is done with music on Google Play, any books, free or paid, added to the Google Play library are available to any connected device without any special software and include dynamic bookmarking without the need to synch between devices, as the bookmark information is stored with the digital books in the user's Play account in the cloud. Since people enjoy reading in places without good Internet access, such as on a commercial flight, Google Play provides for offline reading where the content can be stored on a device for access while offline. With interactive and automatic bookmarking, the user can start reading a book on one connected device, continue reading offline on another device, and then read more later while online, each time picking up precisely where the reader left off on the previous device, without the need for any manual synching between devices. One nice feature of reading using Google Play is that the reader has complete control over the appearance of the text including brightness and contrast, day or night mode, landscape or portrait orientation, font, text size, line height, and other appearance features.
Google is rightfully proud of its Android operating system, immensely popular on smart phones, tablets and other devices, as well as giving Apple and Microsoft some much needed competition. Google Play offers over 450,000 Android apps and games, as well as live wallpapers, ringtones, widgets, and other devices. It is no surprise that by utilizing Play, Android devices develop into comprehensive entertainment systems, portable computers and organizers.
Google Play integrates thousands of full-length movies, including the latest releases of movies in HD and other new releases, as well as thousands of classics. Google Play offers thousands of movies for rent that can be viewed instantly via Google play on the Web, or downloaded for later viewing using the Google Play Movie app. No different than the other forms of entertainment utilizing Google Play, movies can be viewed at home, in flight, or anywhere using any compatible device, including smart phones, tablets, or computers with Internet access. There have already been some articles published about connecting Google Play through a variety of devices streaming to a flat screen TV, and several manufacturers are already offering Internet connected televisions that can directly utilize Google Play as an entertainment source.
