From the outset, you should know: This is not your typical Will Ferrell comedy filled with pratfalls, but one of those darker, slower character pieces that the normally goofy actor occasionally indulges in.
Dan Rush's dramedy is an adaptation of a Raymond Carver story: It starts in a dark place, but moves toward the light. When we meet Nick (Ferrell), an all-American everyman in a downward spiral, he's just been fired, and his wife has left him, locking him -- and all his possessions -- out on his tidy suburban lawn. Nick makes the now-cluttered lawn his new home, boozing and raging, until two new friendships help him re-focus. Across the road is a new neighbor (Rebecca Hall), and happening by out of boredom is Kenny (Christopher Wallace, son of the late rapper Biggie Smalls), a lonely kid undaunted by Nick's pettiness.
There's nothing particularly revelatory in Nick's journey: He has to hit bottom; check himself; divest of the past in order to have a future (there will be a convenient soul-cleansing yard sale); and forgive and move on. And, in this virtually single-set study, each character will teach the other something.
Yet Everything is engaging enough: Nick's situation is relatable -- he's lived as expected, while neither being satisfied nor noticing how off track he's veered -- and the role is not a bad fit for Ferrell. Nick could be where some of his sunnier characters find themselves when life and immaturity trip them up. Starts Fri., May 13. Manor

Is this the Nike Air Max you were hoping would win?
Air Max Day came and went (it was this past Saturday), and after Nike tallied the votes were tallied up for their "Vote Back" contest, the brand revealed the winner. As expected, the Air Max 1 Atmos Elephant dominated voting after a slow start out of the gate, and will be retro-ed next year on Air Max Day.
That's a long time from now, so we'll definitely be marking our calendars to remember. The Air Max 1 Atmos Elephant first released in 2006, at a time when runners were not en vogue at all. However, the shoe still sold out and quickly became one of the most sought after runners in a market that didn't value them too highly. The fact that they never retro-ed only added to the shoe's hype.
The release date is March 26, 2017. No word on a price this early, but hopefully they won't jack up the price too much.
Which one did y'all vote for?

This plan is protected by our Refund Policy and may, with the author's approval, be exchanged for a plan of equal value from the same author.Still have questions about this plan?
Every training plan is built specifically to use within the TrainingPeaks desktop apps, iOS app, and Android app. During purchase you will be asked to login or create a free account to start your training.
TriSmart Training Systems has created a 12 week Build/Peak/Race training plan designed to help a triathlete get ready for their Olympic Distance "A" Race. TriSmart has geared this program to someone who has completed Base training, currently trains 8-11 hours a week, can run 8 miles at a time comfortably, cycle 35 miles comfortably, swim 2000 yards comfortably, and can commit up to 11 hours per week in the hardest weeks. This plan can be used with a heart rate monitor but it is not necessary.
LT test. Warm up 10-15 minutes. Perform a 30 minute time trial as hard as you can. (This will be from 3-4 miles based on the athlete). After the first 10 minutes at full effort hit the lap button on your heart rate monitor. Record heart rate average for the last 20 minutes of the test. Also record average heart rate overall and time to complete the distance. Cool down 10 minutes.
The key to performing this test correctly is to avoid going out too hard in the very beginning. Do not blow up! Attempt to negative split the effort, i.e. try to get faster as you go.This will give a much more accurate reading.
Enter the your heart rate average for the last 20 minutes into "my Settings", "Zones", Threshold Heart rate. Select the Joe Friel method for calculating zones.
Warm up thoroughly. Perform 5 intervals of 3-6 minutes with heart rate in Zone 5b. Recover equal to interval time. Keep Cadence high. Focus on good form. Cool Down.
Warm up thoroughly. Perform Intervals of 3-5 minutes in zone 5b, with 50% recovery. Interval time should match race distance. Focus on good form. Cool down.
BT: Warm-up well and then do 15-20 x 30 seconds at 90% effort (9 on 1-10 RPE scale) with 30-second spin recoveries. Stop if speed drops by 1 mph (1.5 kph). Rolling starts, standing, big gear. Get to top end quickly. Cool down easily and stretch.
BT: Warm-up well and then run 15-20 x 30 seconds at a pace about 20 seconds per mile faster than your 5k race pace per mile. Recover by jogging easily for 30 seconds after each. You should cover half of the fast rep distance during your jog (for example, run 150 in 30 seconds, jog 75 in 30 seconds). Stop when you can no longer maintain the targeted pace. This is best on a track or other measured course so that pace may be monitored.
Warm up ten minutes. Perform 100 yard repeats at an almost all out effort. Your focus is on relaxing and keeping good form. Recover fully between repeats, up to 2 minutes. Allow your heart rate to return to 120 bpm.
Perform 10-15 repeats.
BT: Hill anaerobic-endurance intervals. On a 6-8% hill do 4-5 x 3 minutes to the heart rate 5b zone (3-minute recoveries). Stay seated on each. 70+ rpm. Otherwise, 1-2 zones.

The roof is the largest surface of a house that is exposed to the elements, including fire sparks. In order to protect your property and family it is wise to choose the right fire resistant roofing material for your home. If you are concerned about fire safety you may want to consider replacing your existing roof with a material that is more fire resistant.
When wildfires and brush fires spread to homes or businesses, it is often because burning branches, leaves, and other debris are buoyed by the heated air. They are then carried by the wind and land on rooftops where they start fires.
Slate roofing is known for its fire resistant properties. Slate is a stone so it is naturally fire resistant. It is very expensive but well worth the cost if you can fit it into your budget. There are different grades of slate, do some research into what quality of slate will suit you.
It comes in many different colors and shades. Any house décor can be complimented with a slate roof. One drawback is that it is quite heavy and you need to make sure that your roof can support the weight.
Synthetic slate is lighter and less expensive than stone slate. It can be made from ceramic or wood fiber. It is less fragile than stone slate. It is also considered to be fire resistant.
Metal roofing is durable and energy efficient. It reflects heat which lowers cooling costs. It is fire resistant. It is sold as stand-seam or corrugated panels. It also is made to look like other types of roofing like wood shakes, tiles and shingles.
This roofing material requires very little maintenance. It can be made from over fifty percent recycled metals. Metal roofing can be installed over existing wood and will provide about forty years of use.
Tile roofing is popular on Southwestern or Spanish styled houses. It is usually made from concrete. This makes it very heavy, so you will need to make sure that your house structure can support its weight.
Tile comes in many shapes. It resists rot and weather damage. Concrete tile roofing is very fire resistant.
Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing material used in the United States. Asphalt shingles are made with a fiberglass or organic base. It is covered with asphalt on one side and coated on the other side with granules of small gravel. They do offer some fire protection however they contain oil products which can catch fire when exposed to high heat.
Wood shakes and shingles are usually not even fire resistance rated. They are very susceptible to fire. There are spray-on fire retardants available but they need to be applied every few years and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
There are also shakes and shingles that have been pressure treated with a fire retardant. These last longer than untreated wood. They are more durable than wood that has not been pressure treated. They also meet fire safety standards. This type of roofing material can last about thirty years.
Vinyl roofing membranes are extremely fire resistant. PVC is different from all other plastics in that it is naturally fire resistant. The vinyl membranes are additional fire retardants. It is self-extinguishing when the heat source is removed.
Types of fires are classified by a rating system. Materials are then classified by the type of fire they can withstand. When choosing your roofing material, have the contractor or salesman explain to you these differences in fire resistance.
There are factors to be considered when choosing the best roofing material for your home, Depending on where you live, what type of climate you live in, how close in proximity you are to any forests or industrial areas. A contractor should be able to evaluate all of these factors and determine how much at risk you are for a fire and recommend the appropriate material.

Enter Donald Trump and the inherent paradox of his growing popularity with the anti-bullying movement and the message we're trying to send our children. "Sweetie, bullies are bad. People don't like bullies." If this is true, then why in the hell does Trump continue to win the popular vote in his party?
I opened my locker door and fragments of my face spilled out before me. It was my "it" month – the time when my "friends" decided it was my turn to suffer the pain of exclusion, selective targeting and general mean girl antics typically associated with middle school girls. During that period, I would see my picture torn up, sit alone at lunch and be taunted in the hallways. They even came up with new lyrics to the song "Janie's Got a Gun" in my honor; "Andi's Got Big Buns" became my earworm of despair.
Fortunately, there's a lot less tolerance for bullying in schools these days. Educators regularly hold classes on the topic and every October, students participate in National Bully Prevention Awareness Month. There's even a White House-led awareness campaign to stop bullies and help educate parents on recognizing the signs of a child who is being bullied.
Our daughters are only four and two now, but the thought of them experiencing half that cruelty at some point makes me shudder. Like any parent, my husband and I strive to raise compassionate girls who practice kindness. Before our older daughter heads off to pre-K in the morning, we talk about looking for other kids who are playing alone during recess or someone who might be struggling to see if she can assist. The approach is half Pollyanna, half Ronda Rousey – we want them to look for the best in people and help those who need it, while also speaking up and defending themselves if someone isn't playing nice.
Enter Donald Trump and the inherent paradox of his growing popularity with the anti-bullying movement and the message we're trying to send our children.
"Sweetie, bullies are bad. People don't like bullies."
If this is true, then why in the hell does Trump continue to win the popular vote in his party? I shudder each morning whenever the news shows a clip from one of his speeches. More often than not, he'll use some sort of egregiously hateful or divisive rhetoric; the man has openly mocked the disabled, women and called for further exclusion of ethnic and minority groups – and that doesn't even touch the antics on display when he broaches the topic of his opponents. All of this without any repercussion – in fact, it seems that this approach only helps him gain support.
Trump is a bully in an arena of established decorum, a quality that has been cited by numerous media outlets. For example, in the New York Magazine article, "An Expert on Bullying Explains Donald Trump's Mean, Consequence-Free Rise," UCLA psychologist Jaana Juvonen says Trump checks all the characteristic boxes of a bully.
"He's absolutely operating as an intelligent, manipulative bully who truly does not care about the consequences of his actions," said author Rosalind Wiseman, author of several books on bullying. "He delights in his own ability to manipulate and to show that nobody can stop him."
There was a time when people in our country looked to the nation's highest office with respect. This guy makes Lindsay Lohan look like Mr. Rogers when it comes to role models.
At this point, our daughters are more concerned about when they will catch the next episode of Jake and the Neverland Pirates rather than any mean girls. But I know it's coming. Just the thought of those days makes me ache, knowing that eventually the innocence will slowly erode and they'll realize every new person she meets isn't a friend.
But how on earth can we ever hope to eradicate bullies from our schools when we endorse the actions of a bully running for our nation's highest office? What message are we sending to all the baby bullies out there?
Because as we all know, it won't be much longer before Trump starts singing about Hillary's Big Buns too.

European Central Bank Launches Economic Stimulus
On Monday, the European Central Bank starts a program that will inject more than a trillion euros into its economy by the middle of next year. The policy – known as quantitative easing – is the latest mvoe in an effort to bring the Eurozone out of its fiscal crisis. Adélie Pontay spoke with economist Schmitt-Grohe, who says it's a big change for the European Central Bank.

After surprisingly launching a fairly modest Xperia R1/R1 Plus duo designed for India, Sony is unlikely to unveil any other new phones by the end of the year. The Japanese OEM's high-end and mid-range lineups are already pretty crowded… and confusing, while finally moving to a revamped flagship design probably requires a little more prep time.
But that doesn't mean next-gen Xperias aren't in testing already, and a sequel for the jumbo-sized XA1 Ultra may have just been publicly benchmarked. Intriguingly codenamed the "Avenger", this carries an H3213 model number that seems to follow the G32xx designation of the aforementioned 6-incher.
The display size, Full HD resolution and "traditional" 16:9 aspect ratio are unchanged, according to GFXBench records, but under the hood, Qualcomm supplies a (not so) mysterious octa-core 2.2 GHz CPU replacing MediaTek's Helio P20. The accompanying Adreno 508 GPU makes us quite confident we're looking at a popular mid-end Snapdragon 630 SoC currently found inside devices like the Moto X4, Nokia 7 and HTC U11 Life.
The truly interesting part of the prematurely revealed spec sheet are the cameras however, including a 23MP rear shooter with 4K video recording capabilities and two front-facing sensors. The main one apparently sports 16 megapixels and is capable of shooting 4K content too, while the secondary lens "settles" for 8MP.
This could be Sony's very first smartphone to offer a dual cam setup, also featuring 4GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and Android 8.0 Oreo software. Of course, pre-release benchmarking info isn't always 100 percent accurate, so it's probably best to wait for a CES or MWC announcement early next year before getting too excited.

For those of you that don't currently follow us on Facebook, I posted a note last week stating that most cities with a serious craft beer scene have a yearly "Craft Beer Week," and followed that up by asking, "So why not South Bend?" The response was huge!
These craft beer weeks tend to involve a wide array of events at all types of establishments in the area, such as Beer/Food pairings, Tap takeovers, special tappings, etc. Due to the response, I decided to move forward with planning the 1st Annual South Bend Craft Beer Week and have teamed up with South Bend Foodies to help take this to the next level.
So other than the fact that I'm shooting for late May or early June, there aren't any specific details at this time. I wanted to get the word out as soon as possible however so that a "buzz" could be generated, and the week could be thoroughly planned.
A dedicated website has been reserved for this, which I will unvail as soon as possible. Meanwhile, if you have any suggestions, questions, etc., feel free to send me an email ([email protected]), hit me up on Facebook, or contact South Bend Foodies ([email protected]).

Silicone is an extremely versatile rubber with many properties. In fact, it competes as one of the most versatile materials in the rubber industry, considering silicone's impressive cost-to-function ratio. Silicone can offer an impressive temperature range (-148F to 500F; silicone can also be compounded to offer a wider temperature range). Silicone offers incredible physical properties, as well as being resistant to aging, ozone, heat, low temperature, chemicals, general weathering, and UV. Over the years, silicone has come to serve numerous industries, including aerospace, commercial, medical, electrical, and construction. Silicone functions in applications such as door sealing, electrical insulation, and use in electrical enclosures. Another bonus of silicone is that it is typically FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 compliant; of course, this needs to be confirmed with an FDA compliant certificate. The stable backbone of silicone rubber (Si-O-Si pattern) provides it with its incredibly stable properties over a 25-year period (SAE ARP 5316). Although, it is possible the silicone may provide functional properties well beyond the standard 25-year shelf life.
Silicone can be provided to many specifications, including, ASTM D2000 (FE, GE), A-A-59588 (superseding ZZR765, which superseded MIL-R-5847). Silicone rubber can be designated as FMQ, FVMQ, PMQ, PVMQ, MQ, VMQ per ASTM D1418 depending on the composition of the rubber and contents of its ingredients.
Silicone rubber can also be blended with other materials and particles to certify to the MIL-DTL-83528F standard. Silver plated aluminum, silver plated copper, pure silver, silver plated nickel and silver plated glass can all be dispersed into a silicone matrix to provide conductivity. These compounds are helpful in applications where the application requires a silicone solution but also needs electrical conductivity throughout the elastomer.
Silicone is typically provided red in color, (this comes from the iron oxide within the compound), but can be provided in many different colors. Normally a silicone rubber is cured with a peroxide system. The cure system is what cleaves the polymer backbone and makes the crosslinks to provide the elasticity and strength of silicone.
Silicone can be provide in many shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. Standard sheet thicknesses include .020″, .031″, .062″, .125″, .250″ and .500″. Due to NEDC's unique capabilities, NEDC can provide custom thicknesses between any of those thicknesses, including up to a 1″ in thickness.
Silicone can be provided as strips, extrusions, sheet stock, die cut parts, and waterjet cut parts. Silicone can be provided with a silicone PSA (not requiring any surface preparation) or with acrylic PSA. Silicone can be molded into o-rings, grommets, and other shapes.

Major League Baseball announced today that they will have a Baseball Civil Rights Game the day before the start of the season to celebrate the nation's civil rights movement. The St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians will play on March 31, 2007 in Memphis, TN. The National Civil Rights Museum, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the Jackie Robinson Foundation, the Negro League Museum and other local Memphis charities will receive donations from Major League Baseball and proceeds from the game. 2007 is the 60th anniversary of the integration of Baseball- the year Jackie Robinson played his first game in Blue.
I wonder, after first reading the story, why the Dodgers where not asked to play in the game instead of St. Louis. Afterall, the Indians and Dodgers where the first teams to integrate in their respective leagues. So naturally, having them play each other in this historic game would be a perfect fit. On top of that, the Dodgers are on the road for opening day in Milwaukee so travel issues could not possibly be a reason.
I guess "winning it all" takes precedence over history.

"Burning to get the Vote" was the message left by suffragettes in March 1913 when they fire-bombed Saunderton Station near Princes Risborough. This book draws on original research to re-create the suffrage campaign in Buckinghamshire of a century ago, and brings alive the struggles of some notorious and some less well-known figures in the women's fight for the vote. Muriel Matters, Hugh Franklin and Frances Dove were key figures in this local and national struggle, which in Buckinghamshire involved many public meetings, propaganda and a pilgrimage, as well as more extreme methods like: tax evasion, window-smashing and arson.
Here is a popular but thorough local history of the suffrage movement, tracing the trajectories of both the law-abiding National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and the militant Women's Social & Political Union in the county. It unearths previously undiscovered evidence: the activities of the only WSPU branch in Buckinghamshire and of the Tax Resistance League, who used local hero, John Hampden, as their inspiration; plus revelations from local papers such as earlier-than-thought WSPU pillar box arson attacks, and a regular column by a suffragette, illuminating the experience of a WSPU campaigner.

A recent set of cases targeting manufacturers and retailers of products labeled as "organic" may pose risks to businesses marketing or selling "organic" textile products to consumers in California.[1] Currently, the cases focus on furniture and bedding, but could expose clothing manufacturers and retailers to the risk of similar litigation. The plaintiff, which claims to be a nonprofit organization policing violations of the California Organic Products Act ("COPA"), seeks injunctive relief and attorneys' fees to remedy alleged mislabeling of textile products as "organic." In an issue of first impression in California courts, the plaintiff argues that COPA should apply to textiles despite ambiguity in the statute's plain language. The plaintiff has targeted manufacturers of furniture and textiles such as bedding, pillows and mattresses, and has started to expand the case to include retailers as well.
COPA prohibits products from being sold as organic unless they are produced in accordance with the USDA's National Organic Program ("NOP"). (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 110811; 7 CFR §§ 205 et seq.). It permits plaintiffs to obtain an injunction and recover their reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit notwithstanding a lack of actual damages. Under the NOP, as incorporated into COPA, products sold, labeled, or advertised as "organic" must contain at least 95% organic ingredients. Further, products sold, labeled, or advertised as "made with organic (specified materials)" must contain at least 70% organic ingredients. These "made with organic (specified materials)" products may list up to three organic ingredients on the product label. Any non-organic substances in these products must also be included on the USDA's list of approved non-organic substances set forth in the NOP.
If a multi-ingredient product contains some organic ingredients but less than 70% certified organic content in the whole product, certified organic ingredients may be listed in the ingredient list (along with their percentage) but the full product itself may not be labeled as "organic" or "made with organic materials." Federal policy guidance on the statute further provides that textiles labeled as organic must not use a combination of both organic and non-organic sources for a single fiber identified as organic in the final product. However, the federal standards provide that if all instances of specific fibers in the finished product are certified organic, the label may claim the specific fibers are organic and identify the percentage of organic fibers.
According to the USDA, textile products may be sold as organic if they are certified under the International Working Group's Global Organic Textile Standard ("GOTS"), a private certification standard for organic textiles. GOTS requirements for organic sales and labeling of textile products mirror the NOP, permitting "organic" labeling for 95% organic products, and "made with organic (specified materials)" labeling for 70% organic products. GOTS similarly includes a list of approved fibers. While it exempts certain non-organic "accessories" in organic textile products, it similarly requires these "accessories" to be made of approved materials.
While parallel federal laws under the NOP and GOTS remain pertinent, they do not preempt or negate the applicability of COPA to organic products. Rather, multiple federal courts in California have rejected arguments that COPA does not apply even where USDA organic standards and NOP regulations are controlling.
Nevertheless, no California cases to date have conclusively addressed COPA's application to textiles or held a defendant liable for a violation of COPA based on a textile product, instead applying the statute to cosmetics and food products only. COPA expressly applies to "agricultural products," but does not define this term, and the statute does not explicitly reference textiles in any section (in contrast to federal law). Further, while the statute mentions cosmetics, the language in many sections of the statute could be read to apply only to food products.
The plaintiff in the recent California state court cases relies on COPA's broad language applying the statute to "all products sold as organic within the state," which language was substituted in 2002 in the place of more narrow language applying the statute to only "food" products. (See Cal. Health & Safety Code § 110880.) The plaintiff used this argument in another case to avoid dismissal at the pleading stage.
We expect this litigation will pose an ongoing risk to both online and brick-and-mortar retailers who sell furniture and textiles in California that are labeled as "organic" but may not satisfy COPA's requirements. We recommend that our clients review their products and any labeling, advertising or marketing using the word "organic" to ensure that any representations of the organic nature of the products comply with COPA.

Many in Providence may be surprised when they visit their doctors and find them often hesitant to give out prescription-strength medications. Yet what they may not realize is that doctors understand what many of their patients do not: that medications can be as likely to harm as they are to heal. Overmedication has been an issue that medical professionals have faced for years. And recent data and events have shown that there are certain portions of the population that are at a greater risk of being overmedicated.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has done a world of good for veterans requiring medical services due to their military experiences. Information from the VA suggests that veterans are 50% more likely to have issues with chronic pain than the general population. Yet while the VA has helped countless veterans over the years, recent trends seems to suggest that VA providers are prescribing an alarming amount of medication to their patients, which some believe has contributed to some tragic outcomes. Research done by the Center for Investigative Reporting seems to support these claims, as their research shows VA prescriptions containing major opiates has risen over 270% in the last 12 years. Other research has shown that even though the VA patient population has risen only 29% over a comparable time frame, narcotic prescriptions have risen almost 260%.
Yet while some may see this data as an indication of negligence on the part of VA providers, others point to the lack of resources available to VA facilities or the culture of combat zone providers overmedicating military personnel needing immediate treatment carrying over to domestic practices as the reasons behind this trend.
Whatever the reasons, cases of overmedication can have deadly consequences, from patients dying from lethal combinations of drugs to mental health medications believed to be contribute to patient suicides. Anyone who feels that they or someone they care about has been harmed due to being overmedicated by their health care provider may wish to speak with a personal injury attorney if they wish to pursue legal action.

Sirius Quartet Press Quotes
"Seriously exciting, tuneful, sophisticated music. They're the rare newschool chamber ensemble who can strike a chord with fans of heavy rock, psychedelia and jazz in addition to the indie classical crowd… there hasn't been a string quartet album this exciting released in many months." – New York Music Daily
"A unique blend of composition and improvisation… tasteful and inventive." – DownBeat Magazine
"These are musicians who enter the very grain of the wood of their instruments… Each time their music is heard one can't help being impressed by their devilishly good virtuosity." – The Whole Note
"A string quartet with a difference… Its genre mix of odd meters, dissonance, romantic harmonies, jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms and abstract free improvisation gives the players ample opportunity to display both precision and reckless abandon… somewhere between the jazz focus of the Turtle Island Quartet and the New Music focus of the Kronos Quartet." – All About Jazz
Gregor Huebner Press Quotes
"Gregor Huebner's violin brings a yearning passion to both the music of Eastern Europe and the sounds of Latin America … but it is in his tunes that his enthusiasm and care for tradition truly bursts forth."
— The New York City Jazz Record, November 2016
Huebner's richly lyrical String Quartet #4 op44, The Wollheim Quartet" earns the group its stripes as a "serious string quartet". — Downbeat Magazine, September 2016
"Huebner' 125th Street pulsed with incandescent jazz solos. The effect of these improvised passages felt far from random: Bound into a tightly constructed — and unmistakably modern — musical architecture , each breakout solo seemed as inevitable as it was spontaneous". — Wall Street Journal, May 2008
"Cardenes and violist Tatjana Mead Chamis were soloists in German Jazz violinist Gregor Huebner's "New York Stories". Joined at the hip musically, the two not only captured the essence of this light, descriptive piece but also made there own interaction, a game-within- a-game for our enjoyment."
— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, April 2004
"He is now an experienced composer and with his musical depth and temperament he is able to bridge the frontiers between classical and contemporary repertory."
— Dennis Russell Davies
"I am favorably impressed by your composition "In Memoriam Bela" as a whole."
— Peter Bartok
Beirach / Huebner / Mraz Duo and Trio
What is encouraging about this recital is that the players have not merely attempted a pastiche of Monteverdi, Palestrina, Schütz, Gesualdo and the like: they have respected the humanity of the music and brought their own to it. Maybe the best of the series to date – Keith Sadwick, Guardian 2003
The group led by violinist Gregor Huebner on New York NRG Quartet creates some of the most 'conventional' jazz sounds of all the recordings in this grouping, but the music is no less striking for it. There's some beautiful solo work by pianist Luis Perdomo (most known for his work with Ravi Coltrane and Miguel Zenon) and certainly by the leader. Born in Germany but now living in New York, Huebner is a virtuoso with broad experience in large and small classical ensembles, as well as in a variety of other settings. The music here is multi-faceted and reflects both the leader's compositional skills and his ear for the works of others – notably Miles Davis, Kurt Weill, Richie Beirach and drummer Billy Hart who, along with bassist Hans Glawischnig, anchors the rhythm section." — ALL ABOUT JAZZ, October 2008
"…vital, rich-hued solo playing by Gregor Hübner." — The New York Times, December 2007
"Two terrific guests shared in the belated festivities at Birdland NY – trumpeter Randy Brecker and the violinist Gregor Huebner. … These stunning, seemingly effortless endeavors were punctuated by exquisite soloing by Huebner." — All About Jazz
"Violinist Hübner has a great sound plus a 'correct' way of phrasing that both Leroy Jenkins and Eddie South. His improvisations were technically stunning as well as musically rewarding." – Jazzwise (UK) December 2001
"Huebner is a first rate pianist and violinist. His keyboards are expansive and percussive a la Jamal and Hankock. Huebner's playing is something else, romantic yet audacious. What really jumps out here is the depth of Huebner's musical ideas. He doesn't sound like anyone else." — JazzTimes
Richie Beirach/Gregor Huebner Press Quotes
"Puis le violoniste Gregor Huebner, bientôt avec le seul soutien de la batterie. La pochette de Live at Birdland New York, enregistré dans le célèbre club les 25 et 26 août 2012, met en avant les noms de Beirach et Huebner, signe d'une collaboration depuis plus de vingt ans, mais c'est bien d'un allant collectif qu'il s'agit ici. En six plages, longues, mais sans longueurs"
— Sylvain Siclier, Le Monde
— John Watson, Jazzcamera UK
"Le strutture armoniche di Bach e Bartòk veicolano improvvisazioni assai fluide, e se il trio pianistico prende il sopravvento per lunghi tratti, sono gli interventi del violinista tedesco e di un Randy Brecker in gran forma a far drizzare le orecchie, per un album che evita la benchè minima traccia di noia per tutta la sua durata.
Incisione naturale, e tentazione di premere immediatamente il tasto repeat dopo l'ultimo applauso degli avventori del Birdland."
— Fabio Chiarini, Tracce di Jazz
El Violin Latino Press Quotes
"As close to reality is that Gregor Huebner has an emotional spiritual versatility that leads him to make wonderful performances, with his violin, chamber music, orchestral and bands. What is sensational Latin Jazz".
— Luis Raul Montell, Jazz Caribe March 2016

AbstractThe central nervous system (CNS) of Drosophila larvae is complex and poorly understood. One way to investigate the CNS is to use immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of various novel and marker proteins. Staining of whole larvae is impractical because the tough cuticle prevents antibodies from penetrating inside the body cavity. In order to stain these tissues it is necessary to dissect the animal prior to fixing and staining. In this article we demonstrate how to dissect Drosophila larvae without damaging the CNS. Begin by tearing the larva in half with a pair of fine forceps, and then turn the cuticle "inside-out" to expose the CNS. If the dissection is performed carefully the CNS will remain attached to the cuticle. We usually keep the CNS attached to the cuticle throughout the fixation and staining steps, and only completely remove the CNS from the cuticle just prior to mounting the samples on glass slides. We also show some representative images of a larval CNS stained with Eve, a transcription factor expressed in a subset of neurons in the CNS. The article concludes with a discussion of some of the practical uses of this technique and the potential difficulties that may arise.
- Dissect 3rd instar larvae, leaving CNS attached to the cuticle. Place in a 1.5 ml tube.
- Fix in PBS (1x) containing 2% formaldehyde for 40 min with rocking. ; Use 250ul for every 5-10 dissected CNS.
- Remove formaldehyde and briefly wash 3 times with PBS + 0.1% Triton X-100 (PBST). Use a finely pulled Pasteur pipette to avoid loss of tissue.
- Block non-specific protein binding sites and permeabilize cell membranes by incubating tissue 1-8 hrs in PBST + 5% BSA, rocking at 4°C.
- Incubate in primary antibody diluted in PBST + 5% BSA rocking at 4°C overnight. Optimal antibody dilution will vary for different antibodies.
- Rinse 3x in PBST followed by two 30min washes at 4°C.
- Incubate in secondary antibody diluted in PBST + 5% BSA for 1-3 hrs rocking at 4°C. Rinse 3x in PBST followed by two 30min washes at 4°C. If the secondary is conjugated to a light sensitive compound, wrap the tube in aluminum foil.
- Dissect tissue further (if needed) and mount on slides.

This video demonstrates how to dissect the CNS from third instar Drosophila larvae. After dissection, the CNS can be stained using a standard immunohistochemistry protocol. Currently, much is still unknown about how the adult nervous system is generated as well as how it stores and transmits information. Studies of the developing Drosophila larval CNS should enhance our knowledge of nervous system wiring and function.
Drosophila larvae exhibit a number of stereotpyed behaviors, such as a response to environmental cues. How are these behaviors learned and stored in the nervous system? Studies of the nervous system during larval development will help to answer this question.
At this stage in Drosophila development, the organism is preparing to undergo the vast morphological changes that occur during pupation. During this time, massive remodeling of the neuromuscular system occurs as the organsim transitions from a crawling maggot into an adult fly. It will be interesting to determine how neurons change during this stage of development and if the same type of behaviors can be observed in the neurons of higher animals.

In an effort to better connect families to their students' experiences in law school, earlier this year Florida Coastal School of Law launched Coastal CURRENTS — a monthly newsletter exclusively for parents and spouses.
According to the latest figures, approximately 225 parents and spouses have signed up to receive information about upcoming events, important deadlines, and other items of interest to law students and their loved ones.
"Realizing parents and other family members want to be involved and informed, we knew we needed to create a platform for them to regularly receive the information we can share," said Brooks Terry, director of marketing and communications for the law school.
"Additionally, we understand families often play significant roles in helping students make a number of important choices, including which classes to take, how much money to borrow, and how to spend their summers wisely. We wanted to bring them in and make them as informed as we possibly can."
Florida Coastal School of Law is not alone in its exploration of ways to include and involve parents in their students' lives without violating privacy regulations. Higher education conferences around the country have addressed ways to draw more parents and spouses into the fold, as trends have shown families — parents in particular — remain highly influential throughout the student experience.
"To ignore that highly engaged audience is unwise," Terry said.
Terry added each newsletter's open rates — the number of times a subscriber elects to read it — hovers much higher than the industry high of 14.5 percent. Coastal CURRENTS emailed newsletters, he said, have an open rate of more than 50 percent.
As the first year of Coastal CURRENTS comes to a close, he said it is in the process of being refined even further. By next year, he said families will receive newsletter editions that are tailor-made for their student's year of study at Florida Coastal School of Law.
"This was a pilot year for us," Terry said, "and as pleased as we are with the results, we want to continuously improve and make the newsletter as targeted and strategic as we can. Each year in law school presents an entirely new set of opportunities and challenges, so we have to be effective, we have to be current — no pun intended."
Parents and spouses can sign up to receive Coastal CURRENTS at www.fcsl.edu/parentsandfamilies.

More than once in recent days we've seen stories about how open source works in a recession. Even governments are choosing open source in an attempt to save money. But what happens if you want to do more than use open source? What's the best way to start and maintain an open source project?
Writing for CIO.com, OpenSuSE community manager Joe Brockmeier offers several pointers on how to effectively participate in an open source community, as well as how to measure the success of the project developers. Most importantly, he says, it's not enough to "throw some code over the wall" and hope the community will spring up around it:
To succeed, you need a well-thought-out community plan that details exactly what your organization needs and wants from its community, and how it can achieve those goals.
Communities can take many forms. Some projects have big user communities that provide lots of feedback but don't contribute much code. For others, code contributions are more important. They usually opt for a small developer community that can concentrate on the code. Still others, he says, will go with a combination -- users that test and extend the code. The community surrounding SugarCRM is a good example of that mix, Brockmeier says.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204663295;s=11915;x=7936;f=201904081034270;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20410779;e=i
Once the community is established, measuring its progress is important. If you're not reaching the goals that you set in the beginning, you need to know where to make adjustments in your approach. But measuring the number of downloads is not the best place to start, according to Brockmeier. Neither is the number of bugs reported. Not every dowload is actually installed and used, and knowing how many bugs have been found isn't nearly as useful as knowing how many of those bugs were reported by internal developers as opposed to external developers or users.
Tracking the number of installations or updates, on the other hand, provides useful information, as does tracking the number of users. Whatever your tracking system, Brockmeier says, implement it from the beginning. In his words, "retrofitting can be difficult."

WASHINGTON, Mon Jul 2, 2012 – GlaxoSmithKline Plc has agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor criminal charges and pay $3 billion to settle the largest case of healthcare fraud in U.S. history.
The settlement includes $1 billion in criminal fines and $2 billion in civil fines in connection with the sale of the drug company's Paxil, Wellbutrin and Avandia products, according to filings in federal court on Monday.
Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole said at a news conference in Washington that the settlement "is unprecedented in both size and scope."
As part of the settlement, GlaxoSmithKline agreed to strict oversight of its sales force by the U.S. government to prevent the use of kickbacks or other prohibited practices.
GSK said in a statement it would pay the fines through existing cash resources. The company announced a $3 billion charge in November related to legal claims.
CEO Andrew Witty said GSK's U.S. unit has "fundamentally changed our procedures for compliance, marketing and selling. When necessary, we have removed employees who have engaged in misconduct."

The ancient city of Anuradhapura is said to have been the place where Sanghamitta (founder of the female, Buddhist monastic order named Bhikkunis) brought the revered Bodhi Tree, which is still living and celebrated to this day.
From roughly 4th century B.C. to the beginning of the 11th century A.D, Anuradhapura was an urban and political center for most of South Asia. In modern times, the city is still considered sacred and aesthetically gorgeous, drawing many thousands of worshippers, pilgrims and travellers a year.
Abhayagiri Vihāra:
Served as an important monastery site, consisting of a complex of monastic buildings.
From about 2nd century B.C. to 1st century A.D., Abhayagiri Vihāra first established itself as a vital religious center, attracting many scholars and thinkers from all over Asia for the many years that followed.
Anuradhapura Elephant Pond:
Or Eth Pokuna, is a historic man created pond. It is very close to Lankarama, so it is worth a visit if you are in the area.
Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi – This tree is commonly referred to as the 'oldest living tree in the world'. It is believed to be the southern branch of the holy Bodhi Tree and the planting date of this tree is said to have been in 249 BC by King Devanampiyatissa.
The Jetavanaramaya:
This beautiful, red-clay colored Stupa was built by King Walagamba in 1st century BC and stands nearly 240 ft. tall and a little over 300 ft. at the base. It serves as an active praying center to this day.
Kuttam Pokuna:
Also known as the Twin Ponds, are two fascinating bathing ponds or pools, known for their architectural
design and aesthetic beauty. In ancient times and even today, the engineering design of Kuttam Pokuna astonish many visitors.
This is the oldest stupa in all of Sri Lanka and is said to hold the collar bone of the Buddha, which was sent as a gift from India after the city converted to Buddhism. This Stupa is known to be smaller in size, but also in very good aesthetic condition.
The Ruwanwelisaya:
This is another holy stupa in Anuradhapura standing nearly 340 ft. tall, making it
one of the world's tallest monuments. Many feel the unique architectural design resembles a 'bubble of milk', but it is really is quite gorgeous nonetheless.
One of the smaller temples and just a bit more secluded from some of the other sites. However, it is in great shape with some historic pillars around the outside and many on-going ceremonies and prayers taking place.

It was just a matter of time before Starbucks expanded the pie, so to speak. According to this article, Starbucks has bought a company called Evolution Fresh, which specialized in smoothies and made-to-order freshly-squeezed juices, including, of course, kale! The first store is in Bellevue, WA, just east of Seattle.
Guess where I am going the first week of April? Yep, Seattle, for a short vacation before the growing season kicks into high gear (i.e., non-stop) for the next 8-9 months. I think I'll check out what may eventually make its way to the Midwest. The price of these drinks is enough to make them a special treat for me though, as spending $5-8 for a drink like this on a daily basis would be a budget-buster.
I think I'll order one with 4 straws, but I would be delighted to see something like this in airports. Oh, I momentarily forgot that I'm farming full-time now and rarely in airports anymore! Still, if these drinks are not too sweet, they could be a great delicious and healthy alternative to the typical sugar-sweetened soda that is so ubiquitous in airports and everywhere.
In the meantime, whip up your own smoothie or juice at home. I've given you the basics for DIY healthy smoothies with kale, for pennies on the dollar, too.
Where kale is more than decoration on my plate - now it comes with a straw!

I hope they are real and not like the green smoothies at jamba juice. It is nice to have a choice when traveling.

Customer Discovery
Take Your Customers from 'Unknown to Known'
The basis of any successful data-driven marketing strategy is the target audience. By using our advanced data segmentation, data modeling, and data monitoring strategies, we work with clients to discover high-value audiences and to create high-impact acquisition and retention programs.
Getting to Know Your Target Audience
Getting to know your target audience begins with advanced data segmentation strategies. Demographic and ethnographic data overlays draw from the more than 1,000 lifestyle attributes available on our Data Management Platform. Lifestyle data is appended to your customer files, mover files or other prospect files in order to create rich customer profiles, uncover actionable insights, and refine offers and marketing messages. Through CRM Matching, acquisition and retention targeting strategies can be further refined by matching mover, life stage and other prospect files to customer databases, including transaction histories, program memberships, and other relevant customer information. Geospatial analyses add another layer of precision to targeting strategies by identifying current and potential customers who are moving into, within and out of key trade areas.
Greater Insights Through Predictive Analytics
Our main question for our clients is, "What does success in your next campaign look like?" We work with direct marketers with a wide range of data modeling and analytical capabilities.
Response Models identify key demographic attributes of your best-performing customers and enable you to predict behaviors such as responsiveness to offers, highest spending, or most profitable customers. Additionally, we can design models to identify customers that are most likely to defect.
Cloning or lookalike models identify key demographic attribute of your best-performing customer, which are then used to identify prospective customers just like your current customers.
Whether your goal is to identify underlying demographic attributes driving performance, predict high-performing groups, increase topline response rates, or reduce costs; we will work with you to develop an appropriate data model to fit your unique needs.
Reach Your Customers At The Right Time
Newly Married
New Baby
Newly Single
New Mover
When consumers undergo key life stage changes, their product and service needs, brand affiliations and purchase behaviors change dramatically. Engaging current or prospective customers during these transitional periods can be critical to achieving customer acquisition and retention targets. Our data monitoring services alert you to major changes in your customers' lives such as pending moves, changes in marital status, or new children. By hosting a subset of your current or prospective customer database, we provide weekly notifications of any name, address and phone updates, or important life-event updates that may occur.

Armoire Dressed In Fallen Birch Skin: Sawkille Co.
Gleaming like arboreal wayfinders on a dark night, birches are trees that definitely stand out from the forest crowd. Birch bark was traditionally used for paper, clothing and construction; it also has medicinal properties, so it's not too far a stretch to see them utilized in a decorative sense too, like in this gorgeous birch-skinned armoire by Rhinebeck, NY-based furniture designers Sawkille Co.Using modern woodworking techniques and birch bark harvested from dead trees in the Catskills, designers Jonah Meyer and Joshua Vogel created the piece using poplar for the frame and maple for the two drawers underneath.
Inside, there's a shoe rack, hat rack, hanging rod and full-length mirror, plus a false drawer bottom for anyone who has a little something to hide. The bark is vacuum-pressed onto all faces for a rustic but clean look -- reminiscent of the Shaker aesthetic, but decidedly presents an urban-worthy flair, like many of Sawkille's pieces.
Images: Sawkille Co.
From chairs to tables to sculptures, there's more of Sawkille Co.'s simple but tastefully crafted works on their site.

Acts 7:54-60 Stephen was ordained along with Philip in Acts 6.
Acts 8:1 In the Church, the Hellenists (the group in which Stephen had been a leader) formed the main target of attack, and they were the ones for the most part who were compelled to leave Jerusalem. "Scattered" is a form of the Greek word diaspeiro which implies a deliberate plan moving forward rather than scattered like ants.
Acts 8:4 As a result of the persecution, they preached with more determination and commitment. They did not cower; rather, they were more aggressive.
V.5 The persecution helped to bring about what Jesus told the apostles on the day of his ascension which is recorded in Acts 1:8.
Acts 8:9 God's perspective regarding magic and the black arts is clear. Deuteronomy 18:9-14
Acts 8:10 People are very attracted to the supernatural.
V.12 Philip preached Christ and the Kingdom of God. They were baptized in water.
V.15 One of the tragic realities in the Church is an emphasis on water baptism and not the baptism of the holy spirit. In the book of Acts, the emphasis was switched. Acts 1:5; 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:6 and 1 Corinthians 12-14
Acts 8:16 In Acts 19, again, we see that those who were water baptized did not receive the spirit and they should have. Acts 10:44 and 11:5
Acts 8:18 The only way Simon could have seen that they received the holy spirit is they manifested it. 1Corinthains 12:7-11
Acts 8:24 Simon still needed to change. Believing that Jesus is the Christ does not mean he is Lord of your life in every aspect.
V.26 Philip had a willingness to be led by the spirit.
V.35 When we have a heart to speak, God opens doors to speak.

|You are in: Middle East
Tuesday, 15 October, 2002, 18:59 GMT 19:59 UK
War of words over Mid-East water
Lebanese Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has said his group will retaliate "within minutes" if Israel attacks a controversial water pumping station in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah's threat comes a day before the planned inauguration of the pumping station - which Israel has said it "cannot tolerate".
The project is aimed at pumping water from the Wazzani River for Lebanese villages.
Israel opposes it because the Wazzani is a tributary of the Hasbani River, which flows into the Jordan River and eventually into the Sea of Galilee - Israel's main fresh water reserve.
"Any aggression against Wazzani [pumping station] will be answered in a swift, firm and decisive way," Sheikh Nasrallah told a student gathering in Beirut on Tuesday.
The United States has sent a water expert to try to find a negotiated solution to the dispute.
The expert, Richard Lawson, visited the pumping station on Sunday and was in Israel on Monday.
Liquid gold
Media reports in Israel and Lebanon have suggested that a compromise could allow Lebanon to tap water for houses in the border villages, but not for irrigation.
"The goal is to get both sides to agree on a peaceful resolution of the problem," a spokesman for the US embassy in Israel said.
Correspondents say that in the parched Middle East, water is extremely precious and every drop counts.
The Israeli army has been closely monitoring the work from their side of the border.
In 2001, Lebanon went ahead with a pumping project from Hasbani river to irrigate the drought-stricken border village of Ghajar, despite strong Israeli objections.
Beirut insists the new pumping station will add about 4 million cubic metres from the Wazzani, which it says falls within its fair share of water according to international law.

Schefter believes Mannings decision will come so
Schefter believes Manning's decision will come "soonerrather than later," but that when he picks a team thecontract negotiations will be fairly painless."All he has to do is say 'I want to go play here' and thenthe team is going to say 'great, we're going to work thisout,'" he said. "It's not going to be an issue to get thecontract worked out."In fact, money won't be the issue, wherever he ends up."I think whether he goes to Denver, Tennessee, Arizona,Miami — the money's going to be almost identicalanywhere," Schefter added.Of course, Manning has yet to decide on where he wants togo, though it's fair to speculate he probably has a prettygood idea of where each team ranks on his short list.And, if Schefter is correct, this saga could be coming toan end very soon.

With Steve Ortiz
Gezer, the sleeping giant, has yielded many secrets over the past ten years of excavations, although the first few years were not very exciting. But now there's a clear chronology from the Assyrian destruction back to the Merneptah destruction. More background on the Gezer excavation.
tags: Gezer Philistines Solomon Canaanites Israelites Merneptah Pharaoh
With Steve Ortiz
Tel Gezer, a benchmark site in biblical archaeology, has been under excavation for the past ten years by Steve Ortiz and Sam Wolff (co-directors). During this year's final season of excavation, the remains of two adults and one child were found in a destruction layer dated to about 1200BC. In this 2-part interview we talk with Steve Ortiz about the results of their excavation, what they know about those three skeletons, and why Gezer was such a hard city to conquer, for the Israelites, the Egyptians, and the Philistines, who were all in the area at the time.
With Steve Ortiz & Barry Gittlen
For this program, announcing our 2015 Israel tour, I went to the archives to dig up the report on our visit to the excavations at Tel Mike-Ekron during our 1996 tour. At the end of our 1996 tour, we stopped at the Tel Mikne dig as the archaeologists were beginning the last of their 14 seasons of excavations. We were courteously shown around the site by two experienced archaeologists, Steve Ortiz and Barry Gittlen.
tags: Philistines Tel Mikne Ekron Israel Tour
With Sam Wolff
Sam Wolff, an archaeologist with the Israel Antiquities Authority, co-directs the excavations at Tel Gezer (with co-director Steve Ortiz of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary). He gives a status report on one of the three current excavations at Gezer, which is aimed at clarifying the dating of the Iron Age Gate. (The other two are the survey excavation in the area around Gezer, and the excavation of the Gezer water system.) Sam reports the excavations in 2013 are expected to reach the target levels.
Khirbet Qeiyafa Shrines, part three
With Prof. Steve Ortiz
Excavations for 2012 continue at Khirbet Qeiyafa, an important Iron Age site overlooking the Elah Valley in Israel. Just a few weeks ago, archaeologist Yosef Garfinkel announced some of the most exciting finds of 2011, a couple of small, portable shrines. What do these shrines have to say about the Israelite monarchy and the Israelite religion of 3,000 years ago? In this program we continue our discussion of the significance of the shrines and the Qeiyafa excavation with Steve Ortiz, a professor of Archaeology and Old Testament backgrounds at Southwest Baptist Theological Seminary.

Title: Dflex2/4Rev. B and Dflex8 Rev. D Multiport Serial I/O Changes
Keywords: Dflex Rev. B Changes
Date: March 12, 1996
Revision: 0.00
Author: Support
Distribution: External
This KDB outlines the important new features of the Connect Tech (non intelligent) serial communications cards. The important new features include:
An enhanced Interrupt status port has been added. Some operating systems utilize a status port on non-intelligent cards to improve the Interrupt handling efficiency, some examples are SCO Unix and the COMi serial driver (OS/Tools Inc.) for OS/2. We have replaced the Status port buffering chip with a GAL (programmable logic device). By default we have preserved the compatibility of the status port with previous revisions, but customers can now order custom versions of the status port chip. Please contact Connect Tech customer support for more details regarding custom GALS.
A new jumper has been added, J2. This new jumper controls the functionality of the new status port. By default the jumper is NOT installed, this is the compatible with previous revisions mode. If the jumper is installed the custom status port mode is enabled. This jumper allows the user to use either a custom or standard status port, without altering the hardware or losing any backward compatibility. Technical support recommends that you not install the jumper, unless you are using a custom status port GAL.
Some of the other changes are:
The layout of the board has been redone. The board is physically smaller and is now routed as a four layer board.
The DIP package UARTS have been replaced with PLCC UARTS to save space.
None of these changes impact the compatibility with older revisions of boards. The new DFlex revisions are fully compatible with the previous revision.
For further information please contact CTI technical support: firstname.lastname@example.com
End of KDB-123
