Today the spotlight shines on..........................................................Quinn Newberg
Randy Singer is one of the best writers of legal thrillers I know. I have devoured every one of his novels but By Reason of Insanity eclipsed them all. I have selected By Reason of Insanity as my book club's June selection - its going to be fun!
I love this insight into Quinn Newberg, a quintessential skeptic and lawyer extraordinare! Over to you, Randy:~
Brief physical description
Quinn Newberg is a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney, described by the media as a "legal magician." He is a little over six feet, angular and lean, with the fluid movements of an athlete. He has the mysterious look of a Vegas illusionist, with straight black hair and a trim goatee. Dark eyebrows shade expressive almond eyes that seem to dance and spark in ways that have you nodding your head when he speaks.
Think of a taller version of Apolo Anton Ohno, the Olympic speed skater.
Rel:~ It wasn't how I pictured Quinn but now I have thought about it, Apolo is just right!
Strengths and weaknesses
Quinn is a showman from Vegas, the show capital of the world. He learned his theatrics at Vegas magic shows and applies them in the courtroom—combining the flair of a performer with the unpredictability of a high stakes gambler.
Underneath the flamboyant exterior is a guy incredibly loyal to his sister and niece, a man with a strong (though misguided) sense of honor and justice, and a tenacity that pretty much knows no bounds. He is also extremely practical and realistic, unafraid to confront enormous challenges head on.
He doesn't see the spiritual dimension in life. Everything is fair game for his legal manipulations and maneuverings. The insanity plea is nothing more than a tactical maneuver. He also has deep-rooted insecurities that spring from an abusive childhood.
Quirk (if any)
He loves to gamble and he's pretty good at it. He's not above teaming up with another Vegas card shark to cheat wealthy out-of-towners for a good cause. He is more calculating than most compulsive gamblers, but he still has a hard time knowing when it's time to fold—in cards or in life.
Your inspiration for the character
With Quinn, I wanted to dive inside the mind of a spiritual skeptic. I decided that Las Vegas would be a good place to find one. And what occupation would be better than that of a trial lawyer—not just any trial lawyer, but one who specializes in the insanity plea for criminal defendants?
I wanted to shine a sliver of light in the darkness. To do that, I needed it dark. The work of criminal defense lawyers is dark.
The work of a criminal defense lawyer with an abused childhood representing an accused serial killer—that's real dark.
But if it's going to be dark, I wanted a protagonist whose personality would help lift him above that a little. So, I pulled together a composite. The passion of a friend who practices criminal defense law and always believes he has justice on his side. The showmanship of Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. And the intensity of David Blaine, a famous Vegas illusionist. Add two cases that are very personal in nature, shake vigorously and bake—and out pops Quinn Newberg.
Background to the story
I wrote By Reason of Insanity to help readers think about whether a spiritual dimension exists. Quinn doesn't think so. But then, how can he explain the supernatural visions that his client has about serial murders? Either she's guilty or there's another dimension—a God who speaks to those who are willing to listen.
Prior to writing this book, I was intrigued by reports of Muslims who have been led to Christ after seeing visions (typically during Ramadan). Does God sometimes communicate with us in extraordinary ways right here in the United States? I think He does. But we must also realize that God has already fully revealed Himself to us through His written Word and would never show us anything in visions or dreams inconsistent with His Word.
Putting all that together, here is a brief synopsis of the story:
Quinn's latest client is Catherine O'Rourke, a Virginia Beach reporter accused of being the serial killer named the Avenger of Blood. Catherine maintains her innocence, though she claims to have seen visions with graphic details of the crimes—details only the killer would know. Quinn doesn't believe in the supernatural and thinks these "visions" are nothing more than the product of a fractured personality disorder, triggered by a traumatic event in Catherine's past.
Quinn knows insanity cases are unpredictable, but nothing in his past has prepared him for this one. To win, or even survive, he'll need more than his famed legal maneuvering and biting sarcasm.
On this case, he'll need a miracle.
Loved this, Randy ~ thanks for giving us some of your valuable time to share this spotlight!

A cursory tour of the pubs in Davos will reveal a popular Swiss and Austrian bar game called "Nageln" or "nailed."
A huge tree stump rests in the corner of the bar and the object is for a player to hit three nails into the stump with three consecutive blows of a hammer. Any miscues and the player takes a swig (or more) of beer.
It's a useful metaphor for this year's World Economic Forum -- minus the beer. Three issues keep being raised in Davos: a potential US recession and its global impact, the tightening of credit and the selloff in global markets. And for countries to really nail these problems will take precise action, and likely result in a few missteps.
The WEF shuttle vans were packed this morning as many shunned the short walk with temperatures well below freezing. And even the small talk was predictions on how bad the financial crisis would get.
On my ride in, a representative from the World Health Organization, who specializes in tuberculosis, bemoaned the fact that it's all markets all the time.
Former Treasury Secretary and current Cerberus Capital Management Chairman John Snow and Morgan Stanley Asia Chairman Stephen Roach shared their thoughts with CNBC Wednesday morning.
Both agreed on one thing: that the U.S. recession would have a huge impact on the rest of the world. Roach called decoupling "one of those new paradigms you always hear at the top of a market bubble."
But Snow is optimistic about the economy weathering a slowdown, arguing that a combination of a bold Fed cut, tax cuts on those who create jobs in the U.S. and possibly other government stimulus actions will keep the economy out of recession.
Roach contends a recession is inevitable and that the Fed could already be on its way to creating the next bubble, just as Alan Greenspan's cheap money era pushed home prices to unprecedented level.
"If the U.S. economy continues to move into recession, the Fed will want to take out insurance that the recession does not get out of control," Roach told CNBC.com.
"When you have recessions that are caused by the bursting of asset there's always as risk of a fairly significant period of debt deflation, which could make it very, very difficult for the normal resilience of economies such as the U.S. to work their way out," Roach said. "I honestly think that the markets had the Fed's action wrong. It was not aimed prevent recession, it was aimed at ensuring recovery."

In my travels over the last several months I came across an unusual instrument originally from Spain.
The owner told me that this instrument was shipped from Spain in the 1930's when several of his family members moved from that location to North America.
During that time period Spain had protection on the removal of historical objects, so this instrument would have been taken out of Spain without proper documentation or permission.
This is a Spanish pianola, or barrel piano. Inside the instrument there is a large drum with tabs on the outside of the drum.
In the photo set below on the left side of the instrument are all of the controls to operate the pianola along with a list of ten different songs the instrument can play. The controls on the left side determine which songs will be heard.
When the crank on the left side of the front is turned the piano plays the desired song. I have seen several photos of the barrel piano but have not come across one in original condition such as this one.
Here is the photo album below.

Most bloggers hope and dream for that big day when they finally create that one, awesome post that goes viral. But is your blog actually ready for that when it actually happens? Will your website survive the "Slashdot effect"? (Does anybody even read Slashdot anymore? I think we need to find a new name for that. From today on it will now be called the "Viral Effect". Tell your friends.) Leo Laporte actually jokes about this all the time on his weekly radio show because so many websites completely buckle under the weight of his radio audience all rushing to a website whenever he talks about it, denying the owner his or her 15 minutes of fame. How embarrassing.
If your blog or website is hosted on an inexpensive "shared" host (and, if you pay less than $150/mo, it probably is), then you are really at risk. Most shared hosts are sadly overloaded and barely able to operate effectively with nominal traffic. When your big day comes, that shared host might lock up tighter than a clam with lockjaw.
The problem with CMS's like Drupal and WordPress
Back in the ancient days, websites were built with HTML, and that was it. Fancy websites might even have a picture or two. Any low powered web server could easily handle serving out hundreds of copies of a web page per second because it was nothing more than some simple (HTML) text and a few pictures. Only tiny amounts of memory or CPU processing were required per web-page.
What does all this super-technical mumbo-jumbo mean? It means that if your blog performs "ok" with 100 visitors per hour and slows down a little with 500 visitors per hour what do you think it will do when it suddenly gets slammed with 15,000 hits? Remember that lock-jawed clam I mentioned earlier?
An easy way to viral-effect-proof your blog: Caching
Caching (in this context) makes a copy of your web pages from the database, and re-assembles them into that old-fashioned simple HTML. The page looks the same, feels the same, and tastes the same, but without all of the nasty memory and CPU overhead. The result? Your website will be substantially faster, use far less CPU and memory, and it will be able to withstand a much larger flood of visitors before that lock-jawed clam comes around.
Caching For Drupal and WordPress:
There are two really good cache plugins for WordPress:
- WP Super Cache
- W3 Total Cache
I'm not going to review or compare them. Both are good. Both have some pros and cons. Read up on both, pick the one that meets your needs, and you will have caching up and running in 15 minutes.
Cache modules for Drupal:
- The Boost Module
Boost is probably the best static caching module for Drupal so it's the only one that I'm going to mention. It takes some reading and a few minutes to setup, but well worth it.
After installing a cache module or plugin be sure to test it!
These caching systems only work for anonymous visitors, so if you are logged-in, you won't be seeing the cached results. Be sure to log out or use a different browser, clear your local web-browser cache, and check through your website or blog as much as you can. If you have a mobile theme be sure to test everything from a mobile device. Some mobile themes are notorious for not displaying properly with static caching enabled.
Make sure that your blog or website is ready when you finally get your big break! You invest hours in writing, sharing, and social-networking, why not invest 30 minutes to install server caching to be sure that your site can stand up to the heat when it finally all pays off.

I adopted a Basset named Clyde a year ago today and for the first month or so he wouldn't play. Then one day while on a trip with Clyde, my girlfriend and I visited a friend of hers, whose dog had just had a litter of pups. Clyde picked out his sister for us. He went over to one of the pups and started to "BARRROOOOO" at her. He then proceeded to run around the little pup and nudge her. So we decided that since he liked her so much we'd take her home with us. Since that day my 7 year old basset hasn't been acting like an old dog, he has acted the same age as his sister Isobel, maybe even younger.

The top dome of the Big Green egg is designed with a sturdy wooden handle that makes it easy to lift! Pro tip : Whenever the egg is in use, make sure to "burp" the egg every time you are opening it by lifting the dome about an inch or so. This allows air to enter the egg slowly and prevents a flash fire!

The attack, which killed a member of Parliament, appeared to be the Taliban's latest strike against Afghans with ties to the government in Kabul.
KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber attacked a funeral in northern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing at least 20 people, officials said, in what appeared to be the Taliban's latest strike against Afghans who have ties to the national government.
Among those killed in the bombing, in Takhar Province in northern Afghanistan, was a member of Parliament, Abdul Mutaleb Baik, who had gained prominence as a commander of forces that fought the Taliban during the civil war that gripped the country in the 1990s, according to a spokesman for the provincial government. A member of the provincial council was also killed, along with a number of Afghan intelligence agents and lower-level government officials.
The bombing took place shortly after 2 p.m. in the village of Begabad, near the town of Taloqan, the provincial capital, a once calm area that has had a rise in insurgent violence over the past year. The attacker struck as the mourners were finishing a short funeral prayer that traditionally comes just before the body is lowered into the ground.
The bomber rushed to the front of the crowd — near where Mr. Baik was standing — and detonated his explosives, said Baz Muhammad, 45, a tribal elder who was taking part in the service. Mr. Muhammad said the last thing he remembered was hearing a loud bang and a flash. He awoke with shrapnel in his leg and back, although his wounds were not life-threatening.
Later, at the hospital in Taloqan where the dead and wounded were taken, hundreds of people waited outside for news of family members and friends who had been at the funeral, Mr. Muhammad said.
Both President Hamid Karzai and the American officials quickly condemned the bombing, pointing to it as more evidence of the Taliban's brutality. "This ruthless act of terror to target innocent people who had gathered for a religious ceremony yet again demonstrates the vile and vicious nature of the enemy who do not want to see the Muslim people of Afghanistan to perform even their Islamic rituals," President Karzai said in a statement.
The American Embassy called the bombing "reprehensible," and said it "further illustrates that the Taliban and other insurgents are waging a murderous campaign against innocent Afghan civilians, including women and children, and exposes as false calls by Mullah Omar during the Id al-Adha and other insurgent leaders on their followers not to kill civilians." Mullah Omar is the Taliban's reclusive leader, and in his message this year for Id al-Adha, the holiest day of the Islamic year, he called on his followers to refrain from civilian casualties.
Muhammad Tauhidi, the Takhar provincial spokesman, put the death toll at 30, while the Interior Ministry said that more than 20 had been killed.
A number of officials and elders were attending the funeral, which was for the father of the chief of the provincial fire department, said Mualavi Muhammadullah Wursaji, the Takhar provincial council's leader.
Neither the Taliban nor any of Afghanistan's other insurgent groups immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing. But suspicion quickly fell on the Taliban and their allies, who often single out Afghan government officials and people close to them. In September, a suicide bomber who was believed to be a member of the Taliban killed Burhanuddin Rabbani, the leader of Afghanistan's High Peace Council and a former Afghan president.
If the Taliban were behind Sunday's attack, it would be the group's second major suicide bombing this year in Takhar Province.
In May, a Taliban suicide bomber disguised as a police officer blew himself up during a meeting at the provincial governor's compound. The chief police officer in northern Afghanistan, Gen. Daud Daud, and Takhar Province's police chief, Gen. Shah Jahan Noori, were killed. Among the wounded was the top German officer in Afghanistan, Gen. Markus Kneip, the commander of NATO forces in northern Afghanistan.
But the Taliban are not the only insurgent faction operating in Takhar. Their allies in the Haqqani militant network are believed to maintain a presence in the province. A rival group, Hizb-i-Islami, is said to be active in the region; it is run by the warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a former Afghan prime minister who played a major role in the fight against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. And militants from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan are also thought to be in Takhar.
On Saturday, an Afghan soldier — or possibly an insurgent wearing an Afghan Army uniform — opened fire on coalition forces in Farah Province in western Afghanistan, NATO and Afghan officials said Sunday.
NATO reported only that the attacker had been killed and that the shooting was under investigation. But the provincial police chief, Said Muhammad, said two American soldiers had been killed after a gun battle between American and Afghan soldiers during a joint patrol. The shooting was believed to have been brought on by an argument, he said.
The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility, saying the shooting had been carried out by an infiltrator. The Taliban often overstate their effectiveness, but Afghan soldiers have repeatedly turned on coalition forces, giving rise to fears that both the Afghan Army and the nation's police force are being infiltrated by insurgents.

Last Friday, for the first time ever, a physician was convicted of second-degree murder for recklessly prescribing pain-killing drugs to patients. Dr. Lisa Tseng was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge for her role in the overdose deaths of three young men, each of whom had been given prescriptions for large amounts of opiate-based painkillers and other potent narcotics despite having no medical need.
Although the defense tried to paint Dr. Tseng as a well-meaning but naïve physician who was taken advantage of by manipulative and drug-seeking patients, in fact she ran a lucrative but criminal "pill mill" out of a seedy Southern California strip mall. She earned over $4 million a year by writing prescriptions for addictive drugs like Oxycontin and hydrocodone without performing the necessary medical exams.
Dr. Tseng is not the first physician to be arrested for running a "pill mill". In 2014, for example, nearly two-dozen clinicians were arrested in New York for prescribing addictive narcotics to patients who didn't need them. That small handful of physicians alone had prescribed more than five million doses of oxycodone, a powerful and highly addictive narcotic.
Just last year, agents with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) conducted the "largest pharmaceutical-related bust" in that agency's history. Nearly 300 people, including 22 doctors and pharmacists, were arrested and charged with conspiracy as part of a multi-state scheme to illegally distribute painkillers and other addictive drugs.
Unfortunately, these arrests and convictions will probably do little to stem the disastrous flood of prescription drug abuse that is currently washing over communities across America.
While it is tempting to argue that corrupt doctors like Tseng are responsible for the current epidemic of prescription drug abuse, they are only one strand in an incredibly complex and tangled web of addiction that dates back decades. The problem itself actually started in 1995, when the US Food and Drug Administration first approved long-lasting opioid drugs like OxyContin. Those drugs revolutionized the way in which pain was clinically managed in the United States, allowing patients with severe and unremitting pain to get much needed relief.
Prior to OxyContin's approval by the FDA, chronic pain – a highly subjective symptom that can vary substantially from one individual to the next – was grossly undertreated. Physicians were often reluctant to prescribe pain-killing drugs like Vicodin, which had to be taken several times a day, out of fear that their patients would quickly become addicted. Since OxyContin only needed to be taken once or twice a day, physicians were far more comfortable in prescribing it. That, coupled with heavy promotion by pharmaceutical representative, meant that sales of it and similar painkillers quickly skyrocketed. A few years later, so did rates of addiction and subsequent overdose deaths.
So serious is this epidemic – and the interrelated heroin epidemic – that drug overdose has become the leading cause of injury-related death in the US. This year, more people will die from a drug overdose (usually involving an opioid prescription painkiller like Oxycontin) than will die in an automobile accident. Given the magnitude of this problem, it is not surprising drug abuse was a hotly debated issue in last week's Republican and Democratic Presidential debates. Nor is it surprising that the Obama Administration has proposed spending over $1 billion on new initiatives to combat the problem.
That said, we have already made some headway in tackling this problem. In recent years, for example, state and federal drug enforcement agencies have begun to crack down on the use of these pain medications. In 2012, the New York State legislature passed the Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing (ISTOP) Act. That Act required the New York State Commissioner of Health to create a drug database in order to crackdown on the over-prescription and abuse of opioid painkillers like OxyContin. Nearly every US state now has a similar drug -monitoring program, which can be used to identify and suspend the prescribing rights of doctors believed to over-prescribe these highly addictive drugs. As a result, the rate of prescription drug abuse has finally stabilized and the number of overdoses has actually dropped slightly in recent years.
The conviction of Tseng and prosecution of others like her for second-degree murder will contribute little to these efforts. However, high-profile criminal cases like these may have a chilling and retrograde effect on the way in which we treat patients with chronic pain. Physicians, particularly those that specialize in pain management, are already under increased scrutiny as a result of programs like ISTOP. If they begin to worry that they could face criminal prosecution for prescribing drugs like OxyContin, they may start to limit the amount of powerful painkillers they give to patients, even to those who have a medical need for them.
We may soon learn that cautious steps that we have made in recent years towards more effective treatment and management of chronic pain in this country are for naught. It is important to hold callous physicians like Tseng responsible for their actions, but we shouldn't deceive ourselves into thinking that these trials and convictions will make even the smallest dent in the prescription drug abuse epidemic. While these trials bring justice to the families of those who were harmed by the doctors and pharmacists who run pill mills, they may come at great cost to those who suffer from chronic pain. We need to find a more appropriate balance by creating laws and policies that prevent addicts from gaining easy access to drugs like OxyContin while still ensuring that doctors feel secure enough to prescribe them to those in pain.

|Release Date: May 5, 2014 from Atria
Goodreads | Amazon
"A Chicago reporter in her mid-twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she's assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius.
Kate Corbin has lost her spark. From the outside, her life seems charmed. She has a handsome, long-term boyfriend and a budding journalism career at a popular Chicago newspaper. But in reality, her relationship is going nowhere, and she's quickly losing motivation for what she once believed was her dream job. When her boyfriend dumps her unceremoniously, Kate loses all hope of finding love.
With no living family and few friends, Kate confides in her boss. Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, he gives Kate the opportunity to jumpstart her career. The assignment: to interview the famously reclusive R.J. Lawson, a wealthy tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as a Napa Valley vintner. The week takes an unexpected turn, however, when Lawson refuses to divulge any information. Desperate for a lead, Kate turns to Jamie, a vineyard hand who shows her the romance of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. But his connection to Lawson is ambiguous, and when Jamie disappears before the end of the week, Kate is left to investigate another story: the truth behind the man who stole her heart.
USA TODAY bestselling author Renée Carlino explored love and heartbreak in her beautifully written debut Sweet Thing, and her newest novel does not disappoint. For fans of Colleen Hoover, K.A. Tucker, and Katja Millay, Nowhere But Here is a stirring and satisfying romance that you won't want to put down."
My Thoughts:This book stole my heart and I may never get it back. This is the kind of book that can give you a book hangover for days. I fell in love with the story and I never wanted it to end. I felt such a sense of loss when I finished the last page, but I was also so content in the way the story went. I never wanted it to end but at the same time I wanted the conclusion.
Kate is our main character and I really liked her and felt for her so much. When we meet her she feels lost and alone, but at the same time she thinks she is content. Kate has basically lost her spark and she thinks that being alone is best; that you only have yourself. It was a bit heartbreaking because you can tell that Kate has a lot to offer the world and she just can't see it. I loved watching Kate start to open up and see that there can be more to life if she is brave enough to reach out and take it. When we hit the point where the floor falls out, I didn't know if Kate could handle it again. And while she may not have reacted how I wanted her to, she proved that she could take it. In a lot of ways Kate needed the floor to fall out so she could see what she wanted from life.
Our love interest is Jamie and I am a little bit in love with Jamie. He is just wonderful and damn near perfect. Okay, not true. Jamie is not perfect. He makes mistakes and he is real but I really loved him; so in my head he is perfect. There is a lot I want to say about Jamie, but I also don't want to say much because I feel like everyone should just go meet Jamie for themselves. Also there is some spoilers surrounding him and while I admit to guessing his secret correctly, it did not lessen the pain when it was brought into the light. I loved everything from his charm to his wit, he is gorgeous but he also has a gorgeous personality. Also he is persistent and goes for what he wants.
The chemistry between Jamie and Kate just feels so real. You can see the connection as clear as day between them. They have some truly tender and sweet moments and they also have some off the chart steamy moments. I completely got caught up in their whirlwind romance.
Nowhere But Here also delivered a great set of secondary characters. I have a real soft spot for Jerry and Dylan. Both of them were such helps to Kate. They told her what she needed to hear but were also there when she needed to fall apart. I also need to mention that Will and Mia from Sweet Thing make a cameo. Normally I wouldn't mention something like this, but being that their cameo brought on feels and tears I thought it was necessary. I thought it was the perfect touch and addition to the story. Also I love Will Ryan and will take any opportunity to talk about him.
Nowhere But Here was a heartwarming read and one I easily fell in love with. Jamie and Kate are great characters and they are great together. I just loved them and their story and just everything about the book. It's a beautiful story and I highly recommend reading it.

It's been a long time coming. Murmured about in moist anticipation after the successful release of Street Fighter 2 HD over Xbox Live, word had it that Capcom would bring their incredible, over-the-top crossover fighter Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 to the Xbox 360 next.
And that was no wishful thinking. It's now been verified by Capcom: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer.
The game, developed for both systems by Foundation 9 based upon the Dreamcast port, will sell on the Playstation Network Store for $15 and on Xbox Live for 1,200 Microsoft points. A demo will be coming to the Playstation Network on April 30th, although there's still no announcement of a 360 demo.
Unlike Street Fighter 2 HD, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will not come with redrawn, high-definition graphics. Instead, the game will include an optional visual filter that will smooth out the game's graphics. It will also feature widescreen support, in which the viewing area is expanded outside of the gameplay's legacy 4:3 field.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will also feature new online modes, including Ranked Matches and the Quarter Matches found in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
And don't fret: you'll have access to all 56 characters from the beginning. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will not feature any of its content locked.
This is great news for fighter fans. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was a surreal masterpiece of over-the-top street-fighting frenzy, made all the more incredible by Capcom's typical affinity for wonderfully fluid and colorful character designs. Hopefully this is just the teaser for a new Marvel vs. Capcom game, built on the Street Fighter 4 engine. Swoon!

Love Is Love
Yogi Bhajan said "love is love." I love this quote, because unless you are willing to really give it some time and consideration, it could appear to be fairly silly self-evident circular logic. Love is Love, and pizza is pizza, and forks are forks. Yes, everything is indeed itself. It may not surprise you to know that humans are a far more complicated than pizza and forks though. And, very often, we are very much not ourselves, which causes us to search for love in all the wrong places… sometimes even in pizza.

'I-Rock concert will go international by 2010'
One of India's oldest rock festivals, the I-Rock Concert, has finally come to Kolkata and is rocking city crowds. It's been 23 years since the concert first kicked off in Mumbai.music Updated: Aug 05, 2008 14:29 IST
One of India's oldest rock festivals, the Independence Rock (I-Rock) Concert, has finally come to Kolkata and is rocking city crowds. Its founder Farhad K Wadia has lofty ambitions and says he hopes to wow international audiences by 2010.
It's been 23 years since the concert first kicked off in Mumbai and now eight Kolkata bands are battling it out since July 31 to win the prestigious event. After performing at pubs here, the winner gets a platform to give concerts across the country - called the 'Victory Lap'.
So what took I-Rock so long to come to here?
"Although this is the 23rd year of I-Rock, it's actually the second year we are doing it anywhere other than Mumbai. We added Bangalore and Delhi in 2007 and this time it's Kolkata and Pune. The choice was not entirely random. We are aware of the growing popularity of rock music here and feel it can become our thrust city," Wadia told IANS.
I-Rock gives budding musicians and bands a platform to showcase their talent and helps them make it big in the industry. Some of those who have benefited from I-Rock include singers like Shweta Shetty, Sunita Rao and bands Brahma and Agni among many others.
Asked about I-Rock entering the international circuit, Wadia said: "I-Rock will go international in 2010. Till date we have consciously endeavoured to keep this a platform for Indian talent and have often refused international musicians who wanted to play here. But for our 25th Anniversary in 2010, we have planned a large international act."
The I-Rock founder went back 23 years in time and recalled how Indians were not that interested in rock music back then.
"At that time I used to play for a Mumbai-based rock band called Mirage and there were hardly any promoters who organised shows for us. In fact there were very few concerts - one of them was at St. Xaviers' College festival 'Malhar'. But soon the college principal banned rock concerts at the fest. I then came up with I-Rock as an alternative," he said.
But the journey was not easy for Wadia.
"I-Rock survived floods, bomb blasts, three court cases, police and censorship hassles, and closure of our main platform - Rang Bhavan in Mumbai. Till date we have a pending case at the Supreme Court. But the journey has become a little easier since there is a wide acceptance of rock in India."
While some people objected to their music and lyrics, the government did not allow the concert to take place in 1993, the year Mumbai was shaken by serial blasts that killed 257 people.
Wadia is all praise for the present generation of musicians. He pointed out that bands nowadays played more original music and were accepted faster by music buffs.
"Why only bands...musicians from all genres have a better chance of getting their music heard and distributed via the Internet, which is faster than selling and buying cassettes and CDs. This has made them more committed and confident about playing their own music."
On a global scale, how good are Indian bands?
"There are many Indian bands like Rock Machine, Indus Creed, Pentagram and Zero that are better than Western bands," he replied.
And I-Rock is always innovating to attract more audiences.
"We are making innovations every year by trying to reach out to more Indian cities and people. This year, for the first time the concerts will be available across India on the pay-per-view platform of Tata Sky," Wadia said.

SALISBURY, Md. – After a successful 2011-12 campaign, Head Coach Kelly Lewandowski is excited for her second season in which the Sea Gulls are looking to make big strides to meet their potential.
Salisbury, which finished last season 15-11 overall and 11-5 in the Capital Athletic Conference, returns five veterans while adding 10 new faces, three of which are transfers.
"We definitely have a mix of talent with five returners, three transfers, and the rest in their rookie season," said Lewandowski. "The returners are leading by example and using their experience to be great leaders but there will be great opportunities for newcomers to have a lot of playing time and step up as leaders themselves."
The combination of talent is looking to build upon its top-three finish in the CAC in 2011-12.
"We want to build on that," said Lewandowski. "We talked about goals with the team at practice and one of the goals is to finish in the top of the conference again and host that first playoff game and from there we hold fate in our own hands."
The Sea Gulls return CAC Rookie of the Year, sophomore Anna Hackett who will be looked to as the on-court leader. "Anna had a great season last year," said Lewandowski. "We are looking for her to develop her game even more and with a year under her belt we are looking for her to provide a lot of leadership on the court."
Also returning to the back court for SU are sophomores Alexis Perno, Courtney McManus, and Lexi Kebetz.
"Alexis is someone who does all the little things for us," said Lewandowski. "She is very vocal and a great defender."
McManus joined the Sea Gulls in the spring semester last season. Lewandowski has seen the guard show great strides from last year and is looking for the sophomore to be a strong threat from the field.
Kebetz led the team in three-pointers last season and rounds out the returning guards. The sophomore's long range will be used out in the wing position as she has the ability to shoot from well beyond the 20-foot arc.
New to the backcourt are freshmen Meagan Price, Kayla Toole, Karly Oristian, along with juniors Kelsey Verica and Maggie Nagle and Washington College transfer Maggie King.
King will share time at the point guard position. The coaching staff has been impressed with King's ability to defend and move quickly down court with the ball, helping the Sea Gulls transition from one end of the floor to the other seamlessly, while also looking to take a shot of her own.
Price, Toole, and Oristian are all true freshmen and are joined by Verica in their first season of NCAA basketball.
Salisbury returns senior forward Katie McGahagan as the only experienced Sea Gull in the post. "Katie has a lot of leadership having been a four-year player," said Lewandowski. "She is very strong and has the ability to play both inside and outside, making her very versatile." McGahagan is a key rebounder for SU having posted six games in which the senior captain had 10 rebounds or more.
New to the frontcourt this season for the maroon and gold are freshman Julia McLaughlin and Kathy Albornoz, along with transfers sophomore Aleisha Hobbs and junior Becca Himes.
Looking to step in the small forward position are McLaughlin, Albornoz, Hobbs, and Himes; each bringing a critical aspect of the game to the court.
McLaughlin has started the preseason off strong, impressing the coaching staff with her ability to drive and pull up. Also in the forward position is Albornoz whose passing and ability to read the floor will help the Gulls throughout the season. The Lutherville, Md., native will also be looked to make an impact on the boards with her rebounding.
During the off-season, the maroon and gold picked up Hobbs, a Wesley College transfer, and Himes who transferred from Methodist College. SU's coaching staff has noted Hobbs' ability to finish inside, while Himes will be looked to make a difference in the post position.
"Becca provides the experience, even as a transfer, since she has had a year of college basketball under her belt," said Lewandowski. "She is our top defender, especially in the post, and her hard work ethic and ability to do a lot of the little things keep our team going."
With a united group of 15, who are dedicated and have worked hard throughout the preseason the Sea Gulls look forward to their opening contest.
Salisbury will open its season on Friday, Nov. 16 against Montclair State University at the Gwynedd Mercy Tournament. They will then have the opportunity to play Gwynedd Mercy College twice this season, which played in the 2012 NCAA Division III Women's Basketball tournament.
The Sea Gulls look to improve on their CAC finish from last year but in order to do that they will have to get past No. 13 University of Mary Washington and No. 19 York (Pa.) College. Both teams competed in the NCAA tournament last season. Salisbury will get its first chance against York on the road on Jan. 9 and will then host Mary Washington on Jan. 12.
The maroon and gold will open up at home on Tuesday, Nov. 20 against Virginia Wesleyan College at 5:30 p.m., and will host its Optimist Tournament at the end of November, the first day of play will be on Friday, Nov. 30 as the Sea Gulls take on Valley Forge Christian College at 5:30 p.m.

Nanotechnology Products and Applications
Product Details
Product: MultiCare NanoSpray
Manufacturer: NanoMech
Product page: (external link)
Product Sector: Medical → Implants → Coatings
|Top: HA coating on cp-Ti dental implants. Low magnification to show uniformity. Middle: HA coating on cp-Ti dental implants. High magnification to show nanoscale features and nano-porosity. Bottom: Cross-section of HA coating to show the thickness of coating (~ 60 µm) and its uniformity
One application area that NanoMech has been developing based on its unique NanoSpray coating technology is coatings for implants. The novelty of NanoMech's technology lies in how the coating is applied onto the implant. NanoMech's patented Nanospray electrostatic deposition process, followed by microwave sintering, results in improved mechanical properties and biological performance of the implant coating. NanoMech's technology provides better adhesion and better control of the coating's pore size and structure. This can provide shorter healing times, a lower failure rate of the implant procedure and longer lasting implants. NanoMech has initially focused on hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticle coatings for dental implants.
Currently available HAp-coated implants are fabricated using coating technologies (e.g. plasma spray) that have a tendency to cause separation from the titanium implant. In addition, while a functionally-graded coating has the characteristics of varied chemistry and/or structure across the coating thickness (as is characteristic of living tissue), and if deposited properly, can maintain the superior performance of nanoparticles (hardness, toughness, wear-resistance, and enhanced bioactivity) while offering improved osseointegration and bonding, currently available coatings fabricated using other technologies have difficulty achieving these desirable characteristics. Those conventional technologies require high temperatures in the manufacturing process which can degrade the coating materials, and cannot readily coat complex geometrical structures.
NanoMech's approach combines the company's Nanospray process which can apply nanoparticles of various materials at room temperature conditions, with microwave or laser sintering to produce dental implants with controlled thickness (submicron to micron) and excellent adhesion for improved durability, controlled pore sizes for tissue growth promotion, minimal physical distortion of the implants, and better osseointegration for faster healing times.
The novel approach eliminates the formation of amorphous HAp which is easily absorbed into body fluid and negatively affects adhesion, and does not require the high temperatures (with subsequent degradation of the coating materials) associated with other conventional coating technologies. It allows coating to be applied to various surfaces having different textures and three-dimensional geometries, and most importantly, allows the nanostructured character of the coating materials to be maintained, enhancing tissue growth.

Two Russian Hind helicopters appeared to be having fun at low flying at a altitude over Sevastopol in Crimea.
It's not clear whether they were circling over a specific target or simply performing a show of force.
Whatever the case, the following footage shows Russian Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopters flying really low over the city on March 6, 2014.
Here's that from another point of view:

Thank you Jazz FM
I feel very fortunate to be one of the seven candidates that were chosen to be part of the "Identities" interview series about people who came to Canada, created a life for themselves and furthered their musical careers. Today was the last day of the series and here's the interview that Alan Lysaght and Paul McGrath did with my brother Nikola, my best friend Owen and myself.
The interview actually gets pretty raw and intimate at times and even cheesy with some of my hilarious music influences, so buckle up for that… And despite the parenting struggles that I refer to, family is family and to be clear I love them for every opportunity they've given me! 🙂
Here's the recording of my interview broadcast and thank you again to Alan, Paul and the Jazz FM team.

The Cost of Studying Abroad
The costs associated with SCSU's current long-term program options—direct and exchange—differ
in a few major ways.
Students going abroad to one of our partner universities via an exchange will be expected to pay tuition to Southern, for the same price they would pay if they remained on campus here in New Haven. Housing and meals are paid to the host university.
Direct programs, on the other hand, are offered through third-party organizations like ISEP, CISabroad, CIEE and others. Some service-learning programs also fall under this category. Students going direct will pay their program fees to the company sponsoring their program, rather to a university. These program fees often cover tuition, housing and meals, but each company is different. It's best to discuss what the fees will and will not pay for with your OIE coordinator to determine what the actual cost of living abroad might be.
Always keep in mind the additional costs of airfare, visa fees, books, laundry, and living expenses abroad, as some program fees may not include them. Complete details can be found in the "Program Fees" or "Costs" section of your application if you're traveling through a third-party program.
Financial Aid and Scholarships are absolutely available for students who wish to study abroad for a semester or longer. Chances are, if you are receiving financial aid to study at SCSU for this semester, you are likely to receive some aid to study abroad!

Police have released the identity of the would-be robber who was shot and killed after barging into a store and attacking the owner with a box cutter.
The owner of the Discount Tobacco and Beer on Murfreesboro Road said he was robbed by a suspect who came into his store before 10:30 p.m. Monday, said News Channel 5.
The store had just closed. Police said the owner and another person were standing outside talking when 35-year-old Jamie Sellars walked up from behind the building.
Sellars was wearing a black hoodie and jeans. He started out by asking a question before lunging at him with the box cutter.
"He came out from behind (and) asked if they were open. They were not, so he attacked the owner with his box cutters," said Kathy Tyson with the La Vergne Police Department.
The owner sustained a cut on his neck. Despite the injury, the store owner reached for his gun and shot the Sellars one time. Sellars was able to leave the store, but did not get far.
Officers from the Metro Nashville Police Department arrived a short time later. K-9 units were able to find the body of the suspect right next door.
Sellars was treated at the scene but was pronounced dead before being transported to the hospital.
Officials said the store owner did have a carrying permit for his gun.
The store owner was not expected to be charged. His identity was not been released.

President Trump's acting Federal Trade Commission chairwoman, Maureen Ohlhausen, is wasting no time shaking up the agency. She named Tad Lipsky the new acting director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition yesterday — the office charged with policing mergers and acquisitions for most of the health care industry.
What this means: Potentially less oversight, but not for all health care players. Lipsky replaces Deborah Feinstein, who went after some large hospital and health system mergers. However, her group has been lax on many transactions involving drug companies, pharmacy benefit managers and retail pharmacies.

In this issue I will report space and efficiency changes in applying various compression changes.
The Patch to add Map Compression using GZip.
Argument is -c on the command line.
This also improves how arguments are processed from the command line and adds a basic help command (displayed by placing the String help (not case sensitive) any where in the command line).
If experimentation shows that map output compression is beneficial to efficiency, then I would be inclined to leave it on all the time, rather than adding a command-line option or a Terrier property.
Bug found in patch ; conf.setMapOutputCompressorClass(GzipCodec.class); causes a null pointer exception during map output, even if compression mode is not selected.
I have no idea what is causing this, as it worked in a previous version. It may be an issue with the new Hadoop.
I'd really like to have this turned on by default. Can you provide a working version of this patch?
Issue is that for some reason, we cannot use "local" job tracker and have compression working. I have enabled it, but with this special case.
