Very interesting. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former White House economic adviser and Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers are said to be the leading candidates to succeed World Bank President Robert Zoellick, who just announced his resignation. Clinton is the leading choice according to two Obama Administration sources, reports Bloomberg.
While Summers has expressed interest in the position and has supporters inside the administration, the position would be Clinton's if she sought it, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity about the private conversations.
Clinton, who said previously she doesn't plan to remain in her post if President Barack Obama wins a second term, repeatedly has denied having an interest in the World Bank job. State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland repeated those denials today. "The secretary has addressed this issue many times since last year," Nuland said at a briefing in Washington. "She has said this is not happening. Her view has not changed."
Zoellick announced Wednesday that he would step down at the end of his five-year term on June 30. The Bank announced today it would select a new president by April 20.
Ever since the end of World War II, all 11 World Bank presidents have been Americans and each International Monetary Fund managing director has been European. There has been pressure from emerging markets to broaden the selection process after IMF Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn resigned suddenly last May amidst criminal charges.
The World Bank job would be a fantastic fit for Secretary Clinton. Not sure what Summers brings to the table. It didn't work out so well for him the first time around.

Read very closely...
A typo in the caption of this New York Times photo raises questions about the nature of war.
Isn't that how wars start? Someone tells a story about what happened to them. Another person tells a different story. And so a fissure forms and widens. Fiction between ostensible allies leads to disasters. Honesty is the best policy.
E.J. Graff writes on social-justice and human-rights issues, particularly discrimination and violence against women and children; marriage and family policy; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lives. She is a resident scholar at the Brandeis Women's Studies Research Center and the author of What Is Marriage For? The Strange Social History of Our Most Intimate Institution (Beacon Press, 1999, 2004).

Medal of Honor's community operation is out there trying to drum up lots of activity on its Facebook page, promising the release of the Medal of Honor: Warfighter multiplayer trailer once they reach 100 per cent of ... something.
We're told we'll get there if we vote, like and comment on every poll and cover photo for the game's official Facebook page, though since the goal isn't exactly articulated, my guess is that this thing has already been scheduled to release sometime this week.
They'll drop another screenshot when they reach 90 per cent of this mystery total, but my guess is this one was deliberately chosen because it provides some clue of a feature to be showcased. The vehicles? The tank? The big supply drop? Is this a hint about a map itself? Dunno. The image given to us by EA was called "Location_Unknown".
While our ability to accelerate the delivery of said multiplayer video remains dubious, you can keep checking the Facebook page for updates as to when it might happen.

Radicchio Risotto With Grilled Radicchio
When Brian and I took the boys to Italy, we wanted to eat lunch at a place near the Vatican that a lot of these Italian travelers recommended. It was a lunch we never forgot. We still talk about it and laugh. The place is Dino and Tony's and it is run by two brothers - Dino out front and Tony in the kitchen, neither of whom speak English. When we arrived for lunch, we were not offered menus at all. Dino told us he was going to bring out special antipasti for us and then asked if we like pasta. Well, sure, we said. Before we knew what was happening, he disappeared into the kitchen and then brought out two pizzas, a platter of prosciutto and salami, a platter of grilled vegetables, a platter of potato croquettes, fried olives stuffed with meat and a bottle of Chianti. This was just the antipasti! Then he delivered large bowls of radicchio risotto. "Where is the pasta?" I asked him. "After the risotto," he said. I knew we were in trouble. The risotto was so good, I couldn't believe it. Then the pasta came - Rigatoni Amatraciana. Delicious and perfectly cooked. Dino came to our table again and announced "Dolci!" and presented us with an assortment of desserts and dessert wine. We were all groaning.

Adherents.com/movies: Adherents.com's
About the Individual Films about Specific Religious Groups list on this page:
Religious movies? Many people of faith feel that feature films (and popular media in general) mishandle religion and spirituality. At best, most feature films simply ignore this aspect of people's lives. At worst, themes in feature films can be the very antithesis of spiritual values.
For a variety of reasons, organized religion is unrealistically absent from feature films in general. But some films actually do portray people of faith in realistic, three-dimensional ways. Many films also explore philosophical and theological topics, although this is often through allegorical, fantastic imagery rather than overt presentation.
On this page we will present some films that the Adherents.com audience might enjoy -- films that adherents and representatives of various specific religious groups have recommended as being possibly instructive about or representative of their specific faith. We have also included films that deal with comparative religion and general religious themes (without being overly offensive to a specific religious or ethnic group).
Religious groups are mentioned by a movie title only if the movie is informative about that group and the film's portrayal is widely appreciated and recommended by adherents of that group. "The 13th Warrior," for example, was not a major commercial or critical success, but Muslims liked its portrayal of a Muslim character (played by Antonio Banderas). Another movie which features Islam prominently, "The Siege" with Denzel Washington, is not listed here, because Muslims did not like how their faith was portrayed in that film. (The only exception to this is "Witness," which features a warm, generally very positive portrayal of the Amish, but which does not have the support of its subject group, who object to any portrayal of their society in film.)
Please note that not all films listed here are intended for all audiences. The positive portrayal of Wiccans in "Practical Magic" caused many Evangelical leaders to proscribe that film.
We have collected numerous suggestions from representatives of some faith groups, and these are presented on separate pages.
This list focuses on widely-released feature films. Adherents.com does not suggest that people watch Hollywood films rather than attend religious services, but if you're already planning to rent a video this weekend, and you'd like something interesting and thought-provoking, these are some suggestions.
Obviously, if someone seriously wants to learn about a religion the best way is to read the literature written by adherents of that religion, attend services and classes sponsored by them, talk to adherents of the group, etc. To actually learn about a faith group through film it may be better to watch ethnographic/anthropology/documentary films or films produced for a clearly religious purpose supplied by the religious group itself. A PBS documentary about Navajo Indians, for example, is recommended over a John Wayne film. Typically, feature films are actually illuminating only if they were written and directed by active adherents of the faith being portrayed. "Smoke Signals", for example, was about contemporary Native Americans and made by Native Americans, and offers a genuine glimpse into their world.
1. The Message - (Starring Anthony Quinn, Irene Papas), directed by Moustapha Akkad
[Story of Islam, even though there is much left to be desired, in that it does not cover many important events in the Islamic history. But it's understandable that a movie lasting 3 hours can hardly cover events that spanned 23 years through the lifetime of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).]
2. The Lion of the Desert (Omar Mukhtar) - (Starring Anthony Quinn), directed by Moustapha Akkad
[Based on history. This is a story of the struggle of Libyan Muslims against the forces of Mussolini under the leadership of a 70 year old commander, Omar Mukhtar, who is also a very observant Muslim.]

Slash says he has a big regret about his time with Guns N' Roses, and it's not his legendarily fractious relationship with Axl Rose. It's the way he was "limited to the image of me as a crazy loser junkie."
The birth of two sons with his wife Perla a few years back helped convince Slash to go straight, but not before the public's image of him was seemingly set in stone.
"People were a little intimidated by that," Slash tells Metro. "It was a narrow-minded idea of who I was, but at the same time I gave that impression during interviews."
There was always more to the guitar legend than that, Slash says. He formed Slash's Snakepit and Velvet Revolver after leaving GNR, and has since moved into a more-eclectic solo career that's featured collaborations with Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Cornell and Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge. A native of the U.K.'s Stoke-on-Trent who moved to America at age 6, Slash says British rock had a big impact on him at an early age — rather than the usual metal suspects.
"That's where it all started for me," Slash adds. "I was raised listening to the Yardbirds, the Stones, the Moody Blues, the Kinks, the Beatles, the Who, all that stuff. My uncles and his brothers were huge fans. Then, when I moved to the States, I got turned on to everything that was happening there at that time. I picked up the guitar way later but I had a healthy dose of musical influences growing up."
Meanwhile, he's also established a new second career as a movie producer. The horror film 'Nothing Left to Fear' is available for home viewing now. A third Slash solo album is in the works next, according to bassist Todd Kearns.

Egyptian Police Brutality Footage Looks So Familiar
If it weren't for the Arabic-language chyron, you might have trouble telling whether this video—in which riot-gear police beat protesters with batons and drag a protester by the hair through the streets—was shot in Cairo or on a University of California campus. Even the background graffiti is written in American!
To be clear, it's a video taken from today's demonstration in Tahrir Square. The strangest scene comes at :58, when a cop who's beating a protester lying on the ground hands his baton over to some guy dressed in black, who gets his own whack in before returning the baton. How thoughtful of that police officer! Maybe he has some pepper spray he can lend to a passerby who wants to play "University of California Cop" for a while.
According to the BBC, the death toll from this weekend's pro-democracy protests has climbed to nine, while AFP says 11. Nearly 1,000 people have been injured during the crackdown, which has involved the use of tear gas (how Oaklandy) and rubber bullets (just like in Oakland and Denver!). In addition to attacking the protesters, police have also burned down their tents.
"The violence ... showed us that [former Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak is still in power," one protester, Ahmed Hani, told the Associated Press news agency.

After a much needed injection of cash into the American economy, this week was much less eventful than previous ones. Speculation of bad news set stock prices low Wednesday after the White House approached Congress with its own plan for the fiscal cliff. After an announcement by President Obama and Speaker Boehner that fiscal discussions have progressed, even if there is a difference of opinions, stocks bounced right back up. The UN recognized Palestine as a nonmember state, 138 votes to 9, the United States and Israel being two of the no-voting countries, leading to further tension in the Gaza strip. The Bundestag in Germany approved another wave of bailout loans to struggling Greece, which brought the economy up after a beginning-of-the-week slump [also see November ETF Roundup: Launches, Filings, and Closures].
FactorShares launched a new line of precious metal ETFs; its first new funds since being acquired by GenCap Ventures. These products include a focus on gemstone manufacturing ( GEMS), mining and exploration ( MSXX) ,along with a silver mining and exploration focus ( SILJ).
Below we outline the three best stories from around the ETF space this past week:
1. BOND and Beyond: Top ETF Launches of 2012 at Index Universe:
As we approach the end of another amazing year for the ETF industry, many will turn their focus to which funds came out and actually exceeded expectations. Unforgettable returns from Pimco's Total Return ETF ( BOND) set the trend for yield-hungry investors ready to get out of the recession, but it wasn't the only memorable fund this year. Paul Baiocchi lists which new funds made 2012 the year it was for ETF investors.
2. Dividend ETFs: Obama Wants Dividends Taxed as Ordinary Incomeat ETF Trends:
The ever-approaching fiscal cliff and the end of Bush tax cuts may soon redefine how we invest. President Obama ran his reelection with the platform that dividends should be taxed at the same rate as income for investors, unlike the current rate of at most 15%. John Spence discusses what investing trends Americans are likely to see as the end of the year draws closer [see also Free 7 Simple & Cheap All-ETF Portfolios].
3. Would A Physical Copper ETF Be A Bad Idea?at ETF Database:
Investing in industrial metals has seen a new wave of interest as construction and manufacturing firms are starting to pick up speed again. Modeled after the most popular metal funds, issuers like iShares and JP Morgan have filed for a physical copper ETFs, something that investors have been asking for. Jared Cumman's sheds some light on these potential funds and why they won't be right for every investor.
Disclosure: No positions at time of writing.

Plants vs. Zombies was planted on the iPhone App Store today, and we couldn't download it fast enough. The tower-defense-style gameplay, where you have to collect the power of the sun in order to place offensive and defensive plants on your lawn to fight off the incoming zombie hordes, was a blast on the PC and Mac, but it seems as if it had been designed for touch screens. We finally get to test that assertion.
If you need to know more about the mechanics and gameplay of the title, feel free to read our original review of the PC version. On the iPhone, the graphics remain clear and easy to read and understand, and the ability to tap on the falling suns to collect them and tap where you'd like to plant your army works incredibly well and is very satisfying. This is a direct port of the original game with a few new features, so don't expect anything shockingly new, but this version of the game may be superior to the original due to the touchscreen.
Andrew Stein, director of mobile platforms at PopCap Games, laid out what the game includes. "We've stayed true to the original computer version with the full-featured gameplay of Adventure mode, and have optimized this adaptation around a seamless touch interface," he said. "Plus, we've added great content, including the new Quick Play Arena which allows easy replay of any level after completing the Adventure mode, and more than a dozen achievements to reward successful completion of in-game challenges." Ars pinged PopCap to ask about an iPad-specific version of the game, but were given a solid "no comment."
We've been playing all morning, and at $2.99 this is an absolute steal compared to the original's $20 price point. Today, we can literally say it's time to nut up or shut up.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Hispanic Employee Forced to Quit Asheboro Sewing Contractor Due to Repeated Racist Insults, Federal Agency Charges
ASHEBORO, N.C. – An Asheboro , N.C.-based, family-owned sewing contractor violated federal law by subjecting a Hispanic employee to a hostile work environment because of his national origin, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's complaint, from around July 2006 through June 2008, Jason Ramirez was subjected to harassment based on his Hispanic national origin by B.J. Con-Sew, Inc. Ramirez was employed by B.J. Con-Sew in the company's cutting department. The EEOC charged that Ramirez was harassed by a coworker and a supervisor, who were both white. According to the EEOC, the harassment included almost daily derogatory epithets such as "wetback," "stupid motherf---ing wetback," "crazy Mexican" and "dumb, stupid Mexican." Ramirez, who was born to a white mother and Mexican father, was also frequently called a "half-breed" by one of his co-workers. Ramirez's coworker and supervisor also made general derogatory comments about Hispanics such as " Mexicans screw everything in the U.S. up," and insulted Hispanic food by referring to it as "dog food." Even though Ramirez complained to multiple levels of management, B.J. Con-Sew took no actions that stopped the harassment, the complaint alleges. In order to escape the harassment, Ramirez had to resign his position.
National origin harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v.B.J. Con/Sew Corp. d/b/a B.J. Con-Sew, Inc., Civ. Action No. 1:11-CV-00450 )in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency seeks back pay for Ramirez along with compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief.
"No employee should have to endure such an offensive work environment in order to earn a paycheck," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "Workplaces in North Carolina are becoming more and more ethnically diverse, and employers must be aware that harassment and other discrimination is against the law and will not be tolerated by the EEOC."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov .

How to Format Shapes with 3-D Controls in Office 2011
Using Office 2011 for Mac's 3-D format controls, you can easily take a simple shape and give it a three-dimensional appearance. On the Bevel tab of 3-D Format option in the Format Shape dialog, you control the following:
Bevel Top and Bottom: Click either control to choose from several pre-formatted styles.
Bevel Height and Width: Use the spinner controls to make adjustments.
The Depth & Surface tab offers two sections: Depth & Contour and Surface.
If nothing seems to be happening when you adjust these controls, first apply a 3-D rotation (discussed in the next section). After you rotate the shape, you can see what happens when you adjust the Depth & Contour controls.
Depth Color and Contour Color: Click to display the colors palette.
Depth: Use the spinner control to increase and decrease depth.
Size: Use the spinner control to adjust size. Smaller is often better.
Surface Material: Click to choose from a pop-up menu.
Lighting: Click to choose from a list of fancifully named effects.
Angle: Use spinner controls to change the angle of the light source.
Not only do you have the ability to give 3-D appearance to a shape, but you can also give true 3-D rotation and perspective to a shape using the Format Shape dialog by experimenting with the following:
Rotation type: Choose from several types, including oblique perspectives.
Axes X, Y, and Z: These options refer to the axes about the center of the shape. The axes do not display on screen; you have to use your imagination. Use the rotation buttons or spinner controls to rotate the shape about the axes.
Perspective: Increase and decrease perspective using the arrows or the spinner controls.
Distance from Center: This is the distance from the center of the shape, which is where the axes cross.
Keep Text Flat: When selected, keeps text in the shape in the same relative position.

Hello Friends! It's that time again. Swap It Like It's Hot 5. If you weren't around for the past few rounds of this fun swap it game for bloggers, I'll catch you up to speed. Here's the low down. A group of DIY bloggers pick out items that desperately need rescued from thrift stores and then send them to other bloggers. When that blogger receives their items they have use their DIY creative juices to give them new life.
So here's what I got from Kimm over at Roadkill Rescue. A small basket, a metal frame, 5 really small glass jars, a cardboard like hanging thingy-mabob and wooden thing. (I don't know what this is called) You like the names of some of my items.
I started with the hanging sign thing. I painted it with black chalk board paint. 1 coat did it for this little project. After that dried I used a chalk paint pen in white and hand wrote the phrase "theirs no place like home", from one of my favorite movies "the Wizard of Oz.' It's cute right!
Next I spray painted the small basket gold. I then put a fake plant I had sitting around inside the basket and used the brown crinkly paper filler (which was also sent in my package from Kimm) to use as filler around my flowers.
I actually loved the metal frame as is. I debated on painting or doing something to it but I just loved it as is. I ended putting my favorite photo of my husband and I in it and now I love it even more!
The vintage wooden thing which I believe fits into a vintage dresser got a paint makeover. I painted one thin coat of off white on here. I then sanded the edges to give it that naturally worn look and wiped on a coat of BB Frosch clear wax to protect the paint job. I decided this was perfect to sit on my nightstand and put my jewelry in before I go to bed at night. I am ususally too lazy/tired to walk 10 feet to my jewelry box when I go to bed so this is perfect for right beside my bed.
I also used the 5 little clear glass jars for the same purpose.
I grouped all of these items together and they mesh pretty darn well.
I now have a newly styled nightstand thanks to the swap it crew!!!
Want to see what I sent Karen at Year of Serendipity. I can't wait to see what she did with my finds.
Looking for some more great transformations. Here are a list of other bloggers participating in #SwapItLikeIt'sHot 5!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Ninth-ranked UC Santa Barbara improved its home record to an impressive 5-1 mark on Friday night after besting visiting Hawai'i for the second time in as many nights, extending its winning streak over the Rainbow Warriors to seven matches with a nailbiting 3-2 victory.
Game scores for the match were 20-25, 25-23, 25-14, 21-25, 15-13. With the win, the Gauchos improved to 5-2 overall and 4-2 in the MPSF conference. No. 11 Hawai'i fell to 5-4, 3-3.
Fresh off a defeat the night prior, the Rainbow Warriors opened Friday's match with a 5-2 run, nursing a small lead throughout the first set. A 4-0 run from the Gauchos featuring a service ace from Austin Kingi gave the team life at 18-19, but that was close as they would get, as Hawai'i rebounded with a 6-2 run to close out the set.
Before Friday, the winner of the first set had gone on to win each of UCSB's matches so far this season, so the Gauchos were happy to buck that trend with a rebound performance.
The teams split the first four games, and a big lead was opened up by the eventual winner each time.Though three of the four sets were relatively close, there was not a single intra-game lead change all night – the winner of the first point ended up winning the set each time.
The fifth set bucked the trend, as the teams traded points and kept relatively close throughout. Back-to-back Hawai'i attacking errors with the score at 12-11 gave the Gauchos match point with a little cushion room. The Rainbow Warriors snagged the next two points to make it interesting, but UCSB's Jonah Seif would stuff a Joby Ramos attack attempt on the next play to give the Gauchos the win.
"It was a good battle," said UCSB head coach Rick McLaughlin. "It certainly wasn't the prettiest win, but guys stepped up at the right time and we were able to take two matches from a good team."
The UCSB offense began to come to life in the second. Senior opposite Evan Licht had a career night on Friday, recording 22 kills, the most by a Gaucho this season and one off his personal career high. The Manhattan Beach, Calif. native overcame a slow start, as he had only one kill in the first frame, but contributed 13 kills in games two and three to lead the UCSB comeback.
The Gauchos were able to mount a strong start in both games two (10-4 run to start the set) and three (13-3), and Hawai'i was never able to close the gap. Seif did a good job of balancing out the offense, as four players finished in double-digit kills (Licht, Kingi - 15, Jake Staahl, Matt Hanley - 10 each). The Thousand Oaks, Calif. native also picked up his first double-double of the season with his 45-assist, 11-dig scoreline, and also tied a career high with eight blocks.
After a dominant third set that saw UCSB hit a blistering .647 and hold Hawai'i to just 14 points, they struggled at the outset of game four, allowing the opposition to take a 14-10 lead. The Gauchos battled back to make it 21-all late in the set, but a double block from Taylor Averill and Sinisa Zarkovic sapped any momentum and precipitated a game-clinching 4-0 run.
The Gauchos did a good job scrambling on long rallies, as evidenced by abnormally high assist numbers for libero Chad Kingi (six) and outside hitter Hanley (three). Jake Staahl and Ryan Thompson dominated the middle at times, recording seven blocks apiece.
The Rainbow Warriors were led by outside hitter Brook Sedore (team-high 15 kills) and middle blocker Taylor Averill (14 kills, .500 hitting percentage, eight blocks). Hawai'i was much improved in the serving department, as they recorded five aces – including four in the first set – after being shut out on Thursday night.
The Gauchos will look to ride the momentum of this week into next, when they will face a pair of top-5 teams. They travel to No. 5 USC on Thursday before taking on No. 3 Pepperdine on Saturday. Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m. starts.

As a medicaid expansion bill gets debated by state lawmakers, local organizations head to state capitol
The Louisiana Senate Health and Welfare Committee halted a chance on Wednesday (April 23) for the full body to vote on a bill that would "let Louisiana decide" on Medicaid expansion.
Senate Bill 96, sponsored by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, proposed a constitutional amendment mandating the state implement a program to provide health insurance to those living at or below the federal poverty line. If the proposal was adopted by voters, the state would accept billions in federal funding for Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, to provide heath care for those who make about $11,490 for a single person and $23,550 for a family of four.
The definitive 6-2 vote against expansion likely ends the Senate's debate on the issue for the session. Similar bills await discussion in the House health committee, but they are expected to meet the same fate. Nevers, though, said he may offer a substitute bill to his pending Senate Bill 107, which might be more likely to garner support.
The committee vote to shelve the bill was made on party lines. Voting to defer the bill was Sen Dale Erdey, R-Livingston; Sen. Elbert Guillory, R-Opelousas; Sen "Bret" Allain, R-Franklin; Sen Sherri Smith Buffington, R-Keithville; Sen. Fred Mills Jr., R-New Iberia; and Sen Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge. Voting against deferring the bill was Sen. Yvonne Dorsey-Colomb, D-Baton Rouge; and Nevers. Committee chair David Heitmeier, D-New Orleans, didn't vote.
Guillory and Mills voted for a failed Medicaid expansion bill last year. Guillory has switched parties since the last vote.
"I think you see tremendous pressure from Washington-style party politics injected into Louisiana," Never said after the vote. He pointed to opposition voiced during the hearing from a conservative "multi-million dollar campaign organization," referring to Americans For Prosperity.
Backers said the move would allow access to health care coverage for 250,000 adults who typically can't afford or don't qualify for other types of health insurance. It would not require the signature of Gov. Bobby Jindal, who strongly opposes Medicaid expansion, but it would require a two-thirds vote from the legislature to make it on a voter ballot.
"Let Louisiana decide" became a rally cry and social media hashtag in recent weeks for advocates of Nevers' bill, and a number of witnesses suggested voters would be in favor of the measure.
Former U.S. Sen. John Breaux, who served as Democratic whip while in Congress and was also appointed chairman of the Medicaid reform commission by former Republican Speaker of the Newt Gingrich, said providing health care for the poor should not be a partisan issue. Appealing to the conservative sentiments of the committee, he listed examples of red states, like Arkansas, that opted to expand Medicaid. "Louisiana can design Medicaid extension to include the best of what government can do with the best of what the private sector can do."
Nevers, and others testified the measure would create 15,600 jobs.
Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Kathy Kliebert testified Wednesday expanding Medicaid would cost Louisiana taxpayers too much, about $1.7 million over 10 years.
Heitmeier replied: "You're talking about a worst case scenario."
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office estimates the Medicaid expansion would decrease state spending for the first three years, but would cost the state as much as $886 million over a decade.
The federal health care law was "rushed into implementation," Kliebert said, and "prioritizes coverage with able-bodied adults to those with disabilities."
Testifying for the bill were a number of Louisiana House members, U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond and a policy advisor for Sen. Mary Landrieu. Landrieu and U.S. Rep. John Fleming both issued statements after the bill's defeat, the former calling the move senseless and the ladder calling it a victory for Louisiana taxpayers.
Two images during the testimony illustrated heart of the debate.
Pelican Institute President Kevin Kane, who leads Libertarian think tank that opposes Medicaid expansion, painted one of them. Kane asked committee members to imagine planes dumping suitcases filled with money on downtown Baton Rouge to spur economic growth and create jobs. It would certainly stimulate the economy, he said. "(But) where are these hundreds of millions of dollars coming from?" he asked.
"Last I checked, the federal government is having a hard time paying its bills...(Medicaid expansion) is doubling down on a wrong approach at the wrong time."
Nevers, in his final plea for support, harkened back to Kane's image. "If we do not choose to expand Medicaid, (the plane) is going to take those suitcases of money and fly over California and New York and open them up."
Phillip Joffrion, the Louisiana state director of Americans for Prosperity, a policy advocacy group whose founder are the billionaire Koch brothers, touched on the issue. "Many say we have to provide (expansion) because it's free money," he said. "I'm here to remind you that there's no such thing as free money. "
Several proponents of the bill said during the hearing that Louisiana's rejection of Medicaid expansion funds would result in the funneling of those missed dollars to other states that opted to expand Medicaid. Though it's difficult, if not impossible to directly link where the rejected funds go, Nevers said the point remains that the state will not get its share of a return on their federal tax dollars. "It's forever lost," he said after the hearing.
The other image capturing the debate was an estimated 11-by-14-inch photo of a New Orleans woman named Donna Risso that Nevers and another witness panned across table where committee members sat.
Cynthia Mitchell, with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in New Orleans, said Risso's death at age 47 was avoidable, had she had access to health insurance. "I'd like to talk about the human toll," said Mitchell, who knew Risso through service programs.
Mitchell said Riso sometimes sold etchings she filled with ink, which left her fingers black, and she was homeless for about 20 years. She lived in recent years underneath an overpass in Gentilly. Risso lost her Medicaid disability insurance in 2013, which prevented her from affording her medicine. She died on April 1 of this year in hospice care -- a service Mitchell said will only be paid for pending favorable outcome from a lawsuit.
Nevers, who spoke slowly and sounded choked up at times during his closing, said when contemplating Risso's death in preparation for his testimony, tears began to run.
"This (bill) is not for me, nor for my family, but for those that are less fortunate than it...Most of you know that I strongly believe in conservative values, but I can also tell you that regardless of what happens here today, I can go home and lay my head down and I can know," he paused. "That I did my best."
"I agree we can do better," said Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge, as he made the motion to kill the bill. "I disagree that this is the answer."

Hi Paul
Personally, I would keep the original asset number.
The history of your tests will reflect to each specific item, IF ever those results need to be viewed over, say, the last 3 years for signs of degradation in any one appliance, it helps keeping that paper trail to the original test.
You don't want to be looking for asset 10 (1st year) asset 153 (2nd year) and asset 755 (3rd year) for example.
I have the PT350 and use the automatic increments but these are specific to each customer.
e.g the customer name is say Gala Bingo. My asset increments start GB and then the appliance number GB10, GB11, GB12 etc I find this keeps it tidy and easy traceability.
Also with your Europa plus are you able to download your previous tests for that site as this will help in those retests?
Hope my ramblings are ok!!

Conversation Eastell and Blumsohn 10 September 2003
Blumsohn: So far as the plenary poster if we go through all the things I said I would be comfortable with that.
Eastell: Mmm
Blumsohn: ... and for the other poster I am comfortable with the poster but I have still never seen the data... which to give an oral presentation at the ACR meeting I would find a difficult thing to do.
Eastell: The only thing that we have to watch all the time is our relationship with P&G. Because we are ... because we have the big Sheffield Centre Grant [from P&G] which is a good source of income, we have got to really watch it. So.... the reason why I worry is the network within P&G is like lightening. So if Ian is unhappy it goes to Arkadi, it goes from Arkadi to Nora and before we know it, there is an issue, there is a problem... and it has to be addressed and so forth. and so I was getting worried that the whole thing might be activated and that would affect our relationship.

Paiste produce cymbals today the same way they have for over half a century. Their manufacturing philosophy is simple: only a human being has the intuition and abilities to create superior musical instruments.
Paiste allow the use of mechanical devices only where they remove strenuous labor from the instrument artisans, allowing them to concentrate their talents and energy on creating instruments of the highest sound quality and consistency. Any automation removing human control from the manufacturing process is strictly forbidden, as automation is counterproductive to a natural sound and their desire for top quality.

Nashville, TN – The Goodguys 5th Bridgestone Rod & Custom Nationals May 21-23 at LP Field has a new aim. In light of the recent and tragic flooding of the greater Nashville area, the event will now serve as more than automotive entertainment. Goodguys has partnered with Hands on Nashville to help raise money for the victims of the flood. Hands On Nashville is a local volunteer network, recognized leader in programs, partnerships and services that maximize volunteer impact for youth, adult, corporate, and nonprofit constituencies in the greater Nashville community. Each year, HON refers or places 38,000 volunteers to projects in more than 300 area service agencies and schools.
The 5th Bridgestone Nationals, envelopes the entire LP Field with over 2,000 hot rods, custom cars, muscle cars and trucks. The vibe given off by the cars and people has always been uplifting and colorful but this year offers an opportunity to give back to the event's host city in a time of need. "We're going to do our best to offer whatever assistance we can to the city of Nashville," said Goodguys event director Bill Goodwill. "We saw the footage TV. We know there are people here in town that lost everything. For every dollar raised at the event, Goodguys will match it dollar for dollar. Hot rodding has always been a family hobby and a fun hobby. We are a close knit fraternity and we can make a difference. "
Flood relief donation kiosks will be set up at the ticket gates throughout LP Field all three event days. There are other ways to help as well.
The 5th Bridgestone Nationals gets underway Friday, May 21st and runs through Sunday, May 23rd. General admission is $18, kids 7-12 $6. In addition to the acres of gleaming hot rods fans will have a multitude of activities to enjoy including a manufacturer's midway, the autocross (an electronically timed vehicle agility course), live entertainment, a swap meet and car corral plus more. The event is just as much fun for the kids as it is the adults. Children's activities (free with admission) include the always popular "Make and Take" model car exhibit at which youngsters can assemble a complete snap-together model kit to take home courtesy of Revell. Face painting and balloon animals will also be featured as well as a coloring contest at the PPG Paint exhibit.

No lying still in Vancouver hospital's 'Upright Open' MRI machine
An Upright Open MRI machine is shown at the Vancouver General Hospital in this undated handout image. (Handout / Centre For Hip Health and Mobility)
Camille Bains, The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, July 2, 2014 10:04PM EDT
VANCOUVER -- Lying still won't do it in this MRI machine, which allows people to sit, stand and squat so researchers can see their joints in action to possibly prevent hip osteoarthritis decades later.
Biomedical engineer and University of British Columbia orthopedics professor David Wilson said there are about a dozen such Italian-made machines in the world but the one at Vancouver General Hospital is solely being used for research purposes.
He said the other Upright Open MRIs, in the United Kingdom, Italy and mostly in the U.S., are for patients who are obese or so claustrophobic that they can't lie in the confines of a traditional MRI scanner.
Wilson, who is also a researcher at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility, said people who have some hip pain because of a possible bone deformity and are between their 20s and 50s are part of a study to determine if such deformities eventually cause osteoarthritis.
"We had been looking around for a scanner that would give us more capacity to look at the joints where they're actually working so it's functional imaging of joints. You're not trying to take a picture, you're actually seeing how they work."
During the scan, patients are positioned so that the bony deformity, which is a bump, runs into the pelvis side of the hip joint as they move.
Researchers are trying to determine whether wear and tear over time causes pain and grinds away at the cartilage, leading to osteoarthritis.
"That's the big question, and that's what we're curious about."
Subtle bone deformities are believed to be prevalent in as much as 25 per cent of the population, Wilson said, adding younger people are having more hip pain, especially as the population becomes heavier.
The deformities have increasingly become an area of interest for researchers who believe they're responsible for the pain that develops into debilitating osteoarthritis as people become older.
"The reason that interest is so strong is because it used to be thought that hip osteoarthritis was just idiopathic, it just arose and there was no particular reason. You were just unlucky, you got hip osteoarthritis. Now we think that most of the cases are because of some kind of hip deformity and this is the big one that we're interested in."
About 140 patients will be scanned as part of the eight-year study as researchers monitor their pain and advise them on what activities they should or should not be doing to prevent hip problems.
Bone growth and development, not genetics, are believed to be responsible for the deformities, Wilson said.
The participants are part of a larger $2.5 million study that's been ongoing for three years, involves the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada and is funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research.
A total of 1,100 research subjects are included in the overall study -- 500 Caucasians, 400 aboriginals and 200 Chinese.
"We know that Chinese people in China have a very low incidence of hip osteoarthritis and we believe that aboriginals have a higher incidence of osteoarthritis," said Wilson, who is not part of that aspect of the study.
Dr. Gillian Hawker, osteoarthritis clinical research scientist at Women's College Research Institute in Toronto, said the MRI study is so important because it may potentially lead to new treatments such as drugs or exercise that could prevent the progression of the painful disease.
"We don't have anything right now that we know can prevent the development or the worsening of arthritis -- nothing, other than weight loss," said Hawker, who is also chairwoman of medicine at the University of Toronto.
"There's no question that we have not paid much attention to this compared to the huge burden on our population. It is a huge issue."

It has been a long time since I have updated The Motherloot blog, but I couldn't wait to share with you our experience this past month getting to be a part of the Priceless Chicago Rock Your Palate series that is being sponsored by Mastercard. My husband and I were invited to attend one of their priceless experiences for a fun date night and to see what these fun experiences were all about.
The Rock Your Palate series is an event that brings together Chicago's finest chefs, artists, musicians, and tastemakers for a culinary collaboration that is inspired by the city's musical heritage.
The September kickoff event that we attended was held at the Floating World Gallery in Lincoln Park and featured the works of music photographer Michael Weintraub and a pop-up dinner by by Spiaggia's Executive Chef Sarah Grueneberg and Dirk Flanigan, James Beard "Rising Star" 2011 and Chef at Henri and The Gage. The menu included appetizers like veal tartar with truffles and pecorino and even a charred octopus with Santa Claus Melon, black pepper cream, & Coco Nib.
Among our favorite dishes was Flannigan's loin of venison with mustard greens, hen of the woods mushrooms, and huckleberries and Gruenberg's tie die pasta that was served with baby beets, mint pesto, crescenza cheese, and poppy seeds. All of the food was so delicious and it was such an amazing way to experience foods that we would never have the opportunity to experience otherwise.
Mixologist Bobby G. Gleason prepared unique cocktail pairings with each course and drinks were served to the guests as they entered. Among our favorites were the Effen Cucumber Cup with cucumber vodka, lemon sour, and lemon lime soda and the delicious Devil's Tangerine Julep prepared with Devil's Cut Bourbun, tangerines, and fresh mint. Wine was also offered to the guests which makes it very difficult for a girl to review an experience when she has been enjoying so many delicious cocktails throughout the night. They were all delightful though and the sheer amount of food and beverages that was offered for this event made it a great value for your money.
Music completed the evening with a DJ that spun amazing tunes from electronica to jazz to blues, that created a fun atmopshere while enjoying all the food. Michael Weintrob's photography of local musicians surrounded the tables and gave you a chance to mingle and really enjoy the art while enjoying one of the evening's yummy drinks. We happened to snag a seat by the percussionist, Ricardo Gonzalez (Ricky G.) who kept our table highly entertained throughout the evening and we all agreed, really knew how to work a room!
A photo booth was even set up with instruments to create a fun photo memento of such a memorable night. My husband and I loved getting to do that when we came in and immediately loosened up for a fun evening together.
Of course the highlight for me was getting to sit down and talk to the chefs about their experience doing an event like this and hearing about their story and their family's stories in the kitchen. There is truly nothing I admire more than workmanship of great chefs and I can't imagine how much orchestration it would take to do a pop-up event like this in a gallery. We were in total admiration of these chefs and how they seemed completely unruffled pulling an event like this together. It was amazing night that we will always remember.
Tickets for these events are $90. If you missed it, you can still check out "Rock Your Palate" in either November or December. According to the Chicagoist, the November program will feature three evenings of fun and food from the minds of Chef Chris Pandel from Bristol and Belena and mixologist Ravae Scheinder.
Stay tuned for more information on the Mastercard Priceless Chicago page and visit the site for more details on other fun experiences happening in the Chicago area!

YORKSHIRE admit that they took a risk in appointing Gary Ballance as captain considering there is always a chance that he could be recalled by England.
But not even they could have anticipated just how close to a recall Ballance must now be. No one could.
With the first Test against South Africa less than a month away, Ballance is presenting an increasingly compelling case for a return, having lost his place only last winter.
Branded "unselectable" by certain pundits, the selectors will have to consider him very seriously for the match at Lord's on July 6.
An unbeaten 98 at Taunton yesterday lifted Ballance's seasonal aggregate to 799 first-class runs at an average of 99.87.
More importantly, it helped Yorkshire to 283 in their second innings, setting Somerset 262 for victory.
The hosts ended day three on 101-4, with Steve Patterson taking three of the wickets in a typically wholehearted performance.
Without Ballance's innings, Yorkshire's task would clearly have been appreciably harder, and it would be the visitors now who are fearing the worst.
Ballance, who would hand over control to vice-captain Tim Bresnan should England come calling, is comfortably the most in-form English batsman.
Only the Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara stands ahead of him in the first-class run-scoring charts, with 906 at an average of 90.60.
Without Ballance's innings, Yorkshire's task would clearly have been appreciably harder, and it would be the visitors now who are fearing the worst.Chris Waters
It is not only the volume of Ballance's runs that commands attention, but the circumstances in which they have been scored.
This was the latest example of an innings produced exactly when the side most needed it, an innings that left him three short of 9,000 runs in first-class matches.
When play began yesterday beneath sunny skies, Ballance had 15 to his name, Peter Handscomb 57, and Yorkshire were 127-2, 105 ahead. The visitors, at that stage, were in the ascendancy, but they knew that a poor first session could have turned the contest back towards Somerset.
That this failed to happen was due to some determined batting in the early stages as Ballance and Handscomb dug in their heels.
Only nine runs came in the first half-hour as Somerset struggled to make inroads with the old ball, which gave their bowlers no margin for error.
The day was almost an hour old when Yorkshire finally lost their first wicket of the day on 158.
Handscomb, pushing forward to 19-year-old off-spinner Dom Bess, edged low to slip, where Marcus Trescothick took the catch. Handscomb made 70 from 133 balls with 11 fours, and his stand with Ballance was worth 65 in 25 overs.
Initially becalmed, Ballance became more expressive in the second hour before lunch, three times striking Bess to the boundary courtesy of a cover-drive, a cut, and a neat work off the legs.
The only other wicket to fall before the break was that of Jack Leaning, who went for three to leave Yorkshire 180-4.
Bess tossed one up outside off stump and Leaning, in trying to drive powerfully through the offside, edged to slip, where Trescothick took a sharp catch in front of his face.
Ballance cut the left-arm spinner Jack Leach for four to reach his half-century from 98 balls, and Matthew Waite struck Bess for three fours in four deliveries as Yorkshire took lunch on 213-4.
At that stage, Yorkshire led by 191 and were looking comfortable, but they ran into trouble straight after the break.
Four wickets fell for 10 runs inside nine overs as Somerset stormed back into the game.
Waite turned Leach to short-leg; Bess trapped Andrew Hodd lbw; Leach pinned Azeem Rafiq lbw, and Yorkshire slipped to 223-8, just 201 ahead, when Patterson was lured forward and caught behind off Leach.
With spin twins Bess and Leach bowling well, turning the ball just enough as opposed to extravagantly on the used surface, Somerset surprisingly chose to take the second new ball.
The move backfired as it only flew faster off the bat, Ballance and Karl Carver combining in a ninth-wicket stand of 51 in 21 overs that could be decisive in a low-scoring match.
It needed a fatal hesitation and a run-out to separate them, Ballance pushing Bess into the offside and going through for a single, Carver defeated at the non-striker's end by a throw from Leach.
Ballance responded by upper-cutting Jamie Overton for a remarkable six over the wicketkeeper's head before Ryan Sidebottom's dismissal denied him a century, the pace bowler trapped lbw by Bess, who finished with 5-80, his fourth five-wicket haul in five Championship appearances.
Somerset's run-chase was soon in distress, Dean Elgar strangled down the leg-side off Patterson and Tom Abell trapped lbw by the same bowler.
Patterson then picked up the key wicket of Trescothick, who feathered behind, before Waite pinned James Hildreth to leave the home side 49-4. But Steven Davies and Adam Hose combined in an unbroken stand of 52 to give their side a fighting chance.
It is Yorkshire, however, with their noses in front.

Letter, Martin [Stowell] to My Dear E and others
Author: Stowell, Martin
Date: August 15, 1856
This letter was written by Martin Stowell from Lexington, Kansas Territory. He described his journey to Kansas and the movements of his emigrant train, of which he was elected military head. He also spoke of the local vegetation and his belief that he could make a fine home in this country. Stowell also gave his friend advice about the best route into Kansas and recommended that all mail be sent through Nebraska City, NE or Burlington, IA so correspondence would not pass through a slave state. Stowell also asked the recipient of the letter to forward this letter to T. W. Higginson.

Very few people actually had the opportunity to work with Steve Jobs.
And those who did hardly talk about it.
"It's kind of an unwritten rule, partly because he was obsessive about his privacy," former Apple employee Glenn Reid writes on his blog. "I think that has all changed now, but I'm not exactly sure."
While at Apple, Reid worked very closely with Jobs and got to know him quite well.
Jobs even told Reid why he loved being a CEO.
"He told me once that part of the reason he wanted to be CEO was so that nobody could tell him that he wasn't allowed to participate in the nitty-gritty of product design," Reid writes. "He was right there in the middle of it. All of it. As a team member, not as CEO. He quietly left his CEO hat by the door, and collaborated with us."
Reid got his first taste of Jobs back in 1991 when he started working at NeXT. He reported directly to Jobs, who was acting VP of Marketing at the time.
He eventually left to start his own software company, RightBrain. But when Apple acquired NeXT, "Steve's right hand man" recruited Reid to work on iMovie 1.0.
Now, several years later, Reid says what he remembers most about Jobs was his love for designing and shipping products.
"None of the magic that has become Apple would have ever happened if he were simply a CEO," Reid writes. "Steve's magic recipe was that he was a product designer at his core, who was smart enough to know that the best way to design products was to have the magic wand of CEO in one of your hands."

Fareed Zakaria is a foreign affairs analyst who is host of "Fareed Zakaria: GPS" on CNN at 1 and 5 p.m. ET Sundays.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says his country should be part of the U.N. Security Council.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says emerging industrialized nations like Brazil, China and India should have a greater say in world affairs.
In an interview to air Sunday on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," Lula da Silva also said the United Nations Security Council should include emerging nations as permanent members.
"The geography of 2009 is different from the geography of 1948 when the U.N. was created," Lula da Silva said. "And because of this we want more continents to participate in the U.N. Security Council. ... Brazil should have a seat ... the African continent should have one or two members in the U.N. Security Council. There's opposition from Italy that doesn't want Germany to come in. There is China that doesn't want the Japanese to participate.
"I think this is foolish."
Lula da Silva also expressed his admiration for Barack Obama, saying he told the new U.S. president at a recent White House meeting that he prays more for the American leader than for himself "because although I face many problems, he has much more delicate problems than I."
Lula da Silva said there's a reason Obama was elected.
"The high hopes, the high expectations around him are tremendous," Lula da Silva said. "And I believe that God didn't put him there for nothing. It's because something important will happen in this country."
Lula da Silva said he did not speak with Obama about the "absurd" trade embargo the United States imposed on Cuba in 1962.
"The only thing that I believe as a citizen, as the president of my country is that there is no reason -- not from a sociological viewpoint, a military viewpoint, a political viewpoint, an electoral viewpoint, and much less from an economic viewpoint -- to maintain such a blockade," he said.
But Lula da Silva said Obama "should make a gesture" toward Cuba as a first step toward normalizing relations with the communist island.
Speaking about another U.S. trouble spot in Latin America, Lula da Silva said he told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recently "that it was necessary that he become closer to President Obama, because now there is an opportunity to establish new ties of friendship with the U.S."
Chavez famously implied at a U.N. speech in September 2006 that then-President George W. Bush was the devil.
Lula da Silva, who calls himself a socialist and once worked as a factory lathe operator, talked about his humble upbringing.
"When I'm sitting in the G-20 meetings with all of those presidents or heads of state, I know I am the only one that definitely went through a lot of misery and hunger," he said. "I lived in houses that were flooded by water, inside my house, 1½ meters high. Sometimes I had to fight over space with rats and cockroaches, and waste would come in when it flooded.
"I know what unemployment means, because I was unemployed for 1½ years. And I know the drama that the worker -- an unemployed worker -- faces."
Lula da Silva praised the values of democracy, a system that allowed a former factory worker and union leader to become president of a large nation. He took office in January 2003 and was re-elected in October 2006 for a term that will end January 1, 2011.
Once in a while, he said, while sitting at a meeting with other world leaders, "I feel like an outsider. I ask myself, what am I doing here?
"But it was democracy that led me to this position. It was the people that led me to this position. So I feel I am on equal terms with all of them. I don't feel that I'm less than anyone. And 10 years ago as I would watch these people on television, I could never have imagined that I would get close to them, never.
"And suddenly here I am. I am now in the same group as them, talking with them on equal terms, sometimes learning, sometimes teaching. And this is something that is pleasurable in politics. And it is also the great thing about democracy."

Police Using New Device To Unlock iPhones Of Criminal Suspects
The FBI and Apple made news in 2016 when the technology company refused to assist with unlocking the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook. Apple was set to defend itself against the FBI in court, but the case was dropped after the government found a way into the locked phone.
Now, police across the country have found a way to bypass the encryption of locked phones and are reportedly buying a new machine known as GrayKey to break into phones when the owner refuses to cooperate and hand over their password. A report by Motherboard found that state police in Maryland and Indiana and the U.S. State Department have purchased the devices which can cost between $15,000 and $30,000. The Drug Enforcement Administration and a host of local law enforcement agencies, including the Miami-Dade police, have made inquiries about purchasing GrayKeys.
The $15,000 version requires internet access and will unlock up to 300 devices. The $30,000 option has no limit on the number of devices that can be unlocked. A report from MalwareBytes blog claims the devices will unlock any iPhone 8 or iPhone X that are running iOS 11.2.5 along with any previous version of the operating system. It is unclear if the devices will work with newer versions of iOS.

Here it is. Linkin Park's sixth studio album. 2012's 'Living Things' was not half-bad so I was interested to see which direction one of my favourite rock bands was headed with their next outing. When Linkin Park released their collaborative track with Steve Aoki last year, fans were worried if Linkin Park would go all electronic on their new album.
Quite the contrary. 'The Hunting Party' is the most guitar heavy Linkin Park has been since they released 2007's Minutes to Midnight. That said, when the first single "Guilty All the Same" was released a few months ago, I wouldn't say I was very pleased upon hearing the track. Anyway, my thoughts on the rest of the tracks on the album are below.
1. "Keys to the Kingdom" – What a way to kick off the album! Chester Bennington screams right off the bat. Ha! Mike Shinoda handles much of the verses, including rapping… before Chester screams the chorus. It's a weird track no doubt, but this should give you a good indication about what to expect on this album. Some fans labelled it punk, some heavy metal… I wouldn't say either. Heck, I don't even know where to place it. It's rock, that's for sure. – 3/5
2. "All for Nothing" (featuring Page Hamilton) – Ahh, don't you just love it when you Mike kicks off a LP song with a kickass rap verse? This is a great track featuring Page Hamilton who sings the chorus, and even features a guitar solo (even though it's nothing special). Hey, guitar solos are rare on Linkin Park songs. – 4/5
3. "Guilty All the Same" (featuring Rakim) – I didn't like it much when I first heard this songs and months later, my opinion hasn't changed much. I'll appreciate LP trying out new sounds, but this song feels raw (probably intentional) and it's really not a track I find myself listening to much. – 2/5
4. "The Summoning" – Just a minute-long interlude. Sounds creepy though.
5. "War" – As soon as the guitar riff hits, I had a smile on my face. Then Chester sings. Wow, what a beast of a song! Absolute screamer of a track. It's one of those songs that sounds awesome on record but may not make it to their concert set list every night because it's going ruin Chester's already abused throat. Great track though. – 4/5
6. "Wastelands" – The beats, the riff and the rap all sounded promising — but when the chorus hit, the song somehow felt generic. That's all about I can say about the song. – 2.5/5
7. "Until It's Gone"
If there's one track on this collection that reminds you of the "old" Linkin Park sound, it would be this song. It's structured like you would expect from a Linkin Park "signature" song. The backing hook, the guitar riff, the sing-along chorus, atmospheric — all good. That said, on any other prior Linkin Park album, this track wouldn't have made it as a single. But given how the other tracks on this collectionsound, it's understandable why the label would have insisted on making this the single. It's familiar. – 4/5
8. "Rebellion" (featuring Daron Malakian) – Daron is the guitarist from System of a Down, so if this song sounds inspired by SOAD, now you know why. That said, "Rebellion" was one of the few songs on this album I loved instantly upon first listen.A song to get pumped to! – 4/5
9. "Mark the Graves" – The beginning (and bits) of the song does remind you of "Blackout" from A Thousand Suns, but the rest of the song is nothing like it. Just when you think this is another heavy track, Chester's verses lower the volume… for a bit. The ending is all loud, guitar solo and Chester screams. It's not a bad song though, just quite a mish-mash. – 3/5
10. "Drawbar" (featuring Tom Morello) – For those who don't know, Tom Morello is the awesome guitarist from Rage Against the Machine, famous for his playing style and the sounds he comes up with on the electric guitar. "Drawbar" is an instrumental and a rather somber interlude to lead into the next track. – 3/5
11. "Final Masquerade" – If you were seeking a power ballad on this album, this is it. I like it, although it feels a bit dated — in the sense it could have even appeared on MtoM. It's even got the quintessential "woah oh oh" bit for that concert sing-along moments. -3/5
12. "A Line in the Sand" – The final track is a big one. At 6:35, the song packs in fast-paced guitars, screaming vocals, thumping drums, and towards the end — all three, before closing with Mike Shinoda. A fitting close to the album in my opinion. – 3/5
After three albums produced by Rick Rubin, 'The Hunting Party' is an album largely self-produced by Mike Shinoda and guitarist Brad Delson. I'm guessing "hey, let's make this guitar-heavy" suggestion came from Brad 🙂 And why not? Rock is dying on mainstream music charts as it is and if a mainstream band can bring back heavy riffs on radio, I'll take it.
I really liked A Thousand Suns and I don't mind if Linkin Park does a similar concept album in the same vein with future releases. I'm someone who is quite open-minded with musical tastes. I listen to every possible genre of music out there, from boy band pop, K-pop to heavy metal… and Coldplay. I'm not ashamed about it. I like diversity and I accept the fact professional musicians are no different. I only question Linkin Park's promotion of this album. I really don't know why they chose to promote "Guilty All the Same" — quite possibly one of the weakest tracks on the album — as the lead single. It really put me off and lowered my expectations for this album. This is an album quite a departure from their previous releases. While 'Living Things' tried to bridge the "old LP sound" with the new, 'The Hunting Party' is throughout a hard rock album with a very organic sound. Poor Joseph Hahn doesn't have much of a role to play on this one (but will do live in concert, obviously). Sure, many songs end with some kid's chatter and weird sound bytes but they did the whole interlude thing with the last two albums as well.
Fans have been complaining about Linkin Park "changing" for the worse for quite a few years now, but I guess you can never please some people. For those who appreciate change — and rock music — 'The Hunting Party' is a good album. It may not be the band's best album till date of whatever, but it's still a Linkin Park album worth adding to your collection. Only if your collection of music includes varied tastes.
My final rating for 'The Hunting Party' – 3.5/5 (Pretty Good)
