Looks like the polio outbreak in the Congo is pretty bad.
Over 120 deaths and 280 AFP cases so far.
Looks like this variant is related to the Type 1 circulating in Angola, which was originally derived from India (most likely from migrant workers).
Interestingly the average age is between 15 and 29 years old which is outside the usual AFP surveillance guidelines of <15 years of age. This is probably due to the vaccination gaps in the past when this age group were less likely to have been exposed to either wild or vaccine virus.
Pretty depressing really.

Hello dear TWIV hosts.
Few weeks ago I made a search in iTunes for XMRV and found your pod cast. I listened to one episode on that topic and I really liked it. So I decided to listen some more and before I knew it, I was hooked. I really like how you can keep the conversation so natural and casual, still being very educational and interesting. Now I've finally reached the last episode and have to get used to getting just one TWIV in a week =)
Here are two articles about a possible connection between the swine flu vaccine and narcolepsia in Finnish and Sweedish children. They are google translated so it's a bit rough read, especially the Finnish one ;)
Basically, what they say, is that there has been a rise in narcolepsy cases in children between 12 and 16 years during last spring. The vaccine linked to this possible connection is called Pandemrix. From what I can tell, the connection is made only via the close timing between the vaccination and the children getting the disease. Also, in the articles the doctors emphasize that they don't still know if there is any connection between the two. Nevertheless, Finnish health officials are now considering if they should stop giving Pandemrix to children.
I would also like to suggest a tip of the week. It's called Khan Academy and is basically an on-line school for everyone. It's totally free, and consist of over 1600 videos covering math, physics, chemistry, some biology and economics and even a little bit of history. The guy making these videos is called Salman Khan and his education style if very accessible. And that's not all, the site also has a browser based math application, which covers math from first grade to most of the high school stuff. You can find KA at khanacademy.org or at youtube.
Lastly I just wanted to thank you guys for doing this every week. Having CFS, listening to stuff is some times all I can do. So finding your pod cast, and after that, some other very interesting pod casts, has brought so much interesting content in to my life.
Jaakko, from Finland.
P.S. Here's a virus joke I came up with... A virus goes in to a bar and orders a drink. The bar tender takes a good glance at him and asks; are you sure you're old enough? To which the Virus replies, are you joking? I'm so old that you could even call me retro! ---laugh/cry here---

I am a fan of the podcast "This Week in Virology". I really love how Vince does the podcast.
I am a chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia/whatever patient. Been that way for over 15 years. Not much fun, to say the least. Why do some science research? Check out the suicide rate among the fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue patients…
My past history is as an exploration geologist for metals and minerals, River geomorphology, and a host of other areas, including teaching. Then I had a 10 year or so career as a electrical engineer in industry of designing and manufacturing ASIC microchips. That's career ended when I developed my symptoms.
I like science. I like stories. (I also like art). I also think one of the more important problems in our society today is that the common person is not educated in science and the more science education we can give people, the better they can understand our complex society and its trials and tribulations. So my heroes are people like Vince, Ginger Campbell, Lorimer Mosely, ……
I have two suggestions. #1: (this is for Alan) please listen to in the recent TWIV podcast with Dr. Singh. Contrast her and Vince's responses to the listeners e-mail versus t your responses. then toss me an e-mail back or give me a phone call with your thoughts.
I really do not think that either of you are well educated on the history of chronic fatigue syndrome and the government research agencies. It's an unbelievable story. The following is by no means a complete history -- it's just some tidbits that you can use to partially educate yourself or use to dig further into the story.
Let's start with the beginnings of the CDC/CFS controversy. Here Is a Link to a 1996 ABC "PRIMETIME" episode on the CFS/ME saga:
Then there's the history of the United States federal agencies research on CFS/me, let's start you off with a very short summary, and assume you can do your further research. (Hillary Johnson is THE source for info on this subject):
The CDC and CFS research it is a fascinating story. Hillary the book and website are both entitled, Osler's Web. Here's a short list of news reports from the late 90s when the CDC finally had to admit that it was diverging and misappropriating funds that were earmarked for chronic fatigue syndrome:
if you dig into it, you will find all sorts of twists and turns in the saga of federal government research monies and chronic fatigue, and the truly sad thing is that it hasn't changed, or at least hasn't changed until very recently ….
I also suggest that you check out Dr. Judy Mikovits, of the WPI, statements concerning her desire to share samples, information, etc. with other researchers. From what I can tell, most of the other researchers looking for XMRV, with some exceptions like Dr. Singh, ignored Dr.. Mikovits. And I'm sure you remember from your TWIV interview with Dr. Singh, she said, "XMRV is very hard to find"…. I'm paraphrasing there - you understand what I'm getting at.
Not enough? How about this statement from Dr. Vernon, a respected former CDC virologist:
How bout outside the USA? It may be worse in the United Kingdom, where the "it is all in their head" and "they just need to gradually build up their endurance via exercise" predominates (this is pretty important to people in the United Kingdom because the government insurance will only cover certain procedures with chronic fatigue patients…) :
in addition, let me warn you -- everyone associated with CFS/ME, the patients, the researchers, the clinicians, etc. all absolutely HATE the term, "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". They have tried and tried and tried to eliminate the term, but in the United States the term still lingers. In some other areas of the world it is referred to as Myalgic Encephalitis. The only way that the name can change is via the press, scientific and otherwise. So if you guys keep using the term, "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", and then everybody else will. Actually, to me - it's not a big deal. But it sure is for everybody else that is involved in this messy physical ailment.
Finally, I will leave you with this quote from Dr. Nancy Kilmas. Dr. Klimas is (was? – I think she just changed jobs…) a director of the Department of Immunology of the University of Miami School of Medicine and Director of Research for Clinical AIDS/HIV Research at the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
…..But I hope you are not saying that C.F.S. patients are not as ill as H.I.V. patients. My H.I.V. patients for the most part are hale and hearty thanks to three decades of intense and excellent research and billions of dollars invested. Many of my C.F.S. patients, on the other hand, are terribly ill and unable to work or participate in the care of their families.
I split my clinical time between the two illnesses, and I can tell you if I had to choose between the two illnesses (in 2009) I would rather have H.I.V. But C.F.S., which impacts a million people in the United States alone, has had a small fraction of the research dollars directed towards it…..
thank you for taking the time to read this. As I said, I'm a fan. I'll still stay a fan. I've learned so much for your podcast!! The world needs more like it. Educating the public about science is just so important! Sometimes educating the science about the public, is necessary also amounts what I was hoping to do with this letter/email.

PS> please excuse the potentially garbled nature of this document. Part of my symptoms, besides unrelenting fatigue and feeling like I have the flu all the time, is that I have basically no ability to hand write more type. Handwriting -- a couple sentences cause excruciating pain. The type and use the computer -- I use voice dictation. I've used voice dictation for over 15 years -- and I can tell you one thing -- got better but it still sucks. Either that or I just mumbled too much. Thanks again for your time and patience in getting through this document.

You'll notice the full length Quad rail for a maximum sighting plane with your BUIS [and just plain looks cool ] . With this new version we are using a mono-core design with a stainless steel blast chamber . I went this route to make it easier to take down for cleaning as the can is permanently attached to the upper rec. to give it 16 inch overall barrel length . This way there's just the single transfer and the upper [if purchased separately ] can go onto any lower . We also got away from the ported barrel mode [ always a hassle for cleaning and can cause problems when using subsonics] on this new version and are using a 5.5 in barrel . This is to let factory subsonics stay subsonic . It also gives us a huge internal volume for suppression . There is NOTHING quieter .

Civil wars have wracked the people of Liberia for decades so it was no surprising that hundreds fled chaos for what they viewed as peace and security in the United States. A Liberian family settled in Phoenix, Arizona and hoped the past would remain in the past. However, one day, their eight year old girl was lured into a shed by four boys, the youngest being nine, and the group proceeded to rape the little girl. Her mother was furious, as much toward her daughter for bringing shame to the family as to the boys. When police arrived, she asked them to take her daughter with them even while shouting, "nothing has happened to my daughter. Nobody touched my daughter."
An older sister blamed the little girl for following after boys and now the girl is in limbo. The incident is really an aftermath of what happened in the civil wars. During the wars, women and young girls were raped, but communities were more prone to blame the girls for being violated as though they had the means to avoid such treatment. Liberian refugees may currently be in Arizona, but their minds have never let go of the horrors they endured.

Last season, 'One Year On week' marked a significant step in the history of Arsenal.com.
The move to Emirates Stadium was complete - we were in. Yes, there had been teething issues and improvements were made, now it was time to kick on and inject some history into our new home. This, of course, had been the very commodity that made Highbury so difficult to leave.
One Year On week was a pause for reflection; an intake of breath before the lung-bursting marathon of the next 10 months.
Last season, we spoke to the Chairman, the manager, assessed the health of the Club and looked forward to the coming campaign. It was a major reason why July 2007 became our best-ever month for web traffic (we have broken the record a couple of times since).
Now, traditions have to start somewhere. That's why we plan to do the same thing again this year. Over the course of 'Two Years On week' there will be exclusive interviews with Arsène Wenger, Peter Hill-Wood and Danny Fiszman. All three will assess the state of the Club two years after that half-mile move across Islington.
We'll also consider the embryonic history of Emirates Stadium itself and talk to the people responsible for the Matchday operation.
And, most heartening of all, by the time this week is over the first fixture of pre-season will be upon us.

Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan deficit watchdog group, said he predicts some sort of deal, though nothing like the "grand bargain" both sides were flirting with in 2011.
"I think both sides want to avoid the ugliness of the summer of 2011," he said, predicting "a mini-deal that might tweak sequestration and raise the debt limit."
"I wouldn't expect a big debt limit increase or much change in sequestration, but enough to save face on both areas. In other words, more of the same," he said.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|.. What happened to the OP/Chad..? . Is he still out there?
v6 mod
I ean a v6 nodfied in a cicle track car here in the northwest. Was great fun demon carb and a delta hot cam and it made right at 300 ponys. Took it out on the street back roads actually and my wive could keep up to about 125 mph. Before I ran off from her..
was a fhn set up and I still gave the motir out back for another project.
.. LOL! Only took 5 pages of arguing, but you guys finally more or less got to Step #1: get the truck, take it out on a closed top end course, and see what it'll do... then you know exactly what it's lacking... make a good guesstimate of what it would take to reach around 128 MPH from there... can that be done with home-modded stock or newer Vortec V6 parts... or would it take out-of-budget unobtanium parts? Or, dare I say it, a budget V8? Headers plus fixing the crappy quench and compression ratio and casting irregularities on these engines can go a long way toward obtaining the RW power these V6 and V8 engines of that era should have made from the factory... once that's fixed, then they are able to take advantage of a cam bump up as well, if needed... is that enough?
.. Chad/OP mentioned 128 MPH goal... also mentioned at least over 115 MPH... apparently he's using top speed as a 'poorman's dyno'... and that works... if it makes his goal, it's gonna rock pretty good 0 - 70 against his friends... nitrous costs around $60/minute to operate, so kinda limits a lot of fun... and, of course, takes even more nitrous to move a truck very far... and you won't get very far in a boat on nitrous ( I boat on 250 mile long x 55 mile wide Lake Erie )... if some braggart says his S-10 has 500Hp and it actually peters out at 97 MPH on the 'top speed dyno', well, that's that... the cat's out of the bag on him...
.. Chad said right off his friends have trucks, so no need to compare his truck to cars of any sort...
.. Somebody mentioned it costs $5,000 to get 350HP out of a Chevy 350... reminded me of this $1,000 410+HP 440lb.-ft. torque build (OK, prolly a slightly happy dyno, but still...):
Low Budget Chevy 350 Small Block Engine Build - Classic Trucks Magazine
.. Anyway, this brings us to plans. The object of Chad's first posting. What RPM did the truck max speed at stock? In what tranny gear? What's the rear gear (3.73) and tire size? To get to 128 MPH you need gearing that allows the engine to reach peak HP RPM at, say, about 126 MPH so it can get up their quicker... then it'll still rev a bit more with power for that last couple MPH... What RPM is the newly modified engine likely to HP peak at? (Lots of the guys here can give you a pretty close estimate!) Does the computer need an RPM limit removed or raised in it's software? From there, we plug all the info into the online calculator and check the resulting spreadsheet to see if something needs to be changed (tire size, rear gear):

|Yeah through the fender well for sure.The recommendation is to drop off the steering shaft and I don't wanta go through all that.I was told Snap-on sold a special socket,but when I asked him about that,he didn't know what I was talking about.
|I dont change them at all.I have 2 young mechanics with shiny tools that like to do that...lol
|I own a shop truck 4.3 1999 Sonoma 5 speed.I know to change plugs on that is a real bear on number three plug by the steering shaft.I just can't imagine what it would be like on your turbo set-up.BTW-very,very,nice work on that mod.Very impressive.

Wow! haven't been here in ages. Still have my truck and drive it every once in a blue moon. Have drifted to many other hobbies.
I had a friend in high school with an S10 (didn't most of us have one of those friends in high school if we're under 40?). We tried Marine heads, Marine intakes, ported heads. We got started on an M90 conversion, scrapped that for a turbo and scrapped that after getting half the front end torn off to get the piping mocked up. Rich then tried his hand at porting the heads, and after 40hrs and 2 sets of heads...was no better off. Building a 4.3 to run 128mph can be done; but if you don't want to run the risk of being let down in terms of eating your budget, or marginal performance you may want to think twice.
Heres what I know. When I was your age, I had the money to do something once. So don't take what these guys are saying as a slam, its not. We want successful hotrodders. Also, the first thing you'll do after running 128mph is want to run 135. This is one of those laws of hot rodding.
Now after giving no hard information, heres some technical info.
You could put a stock LT1 in there and it would be cooler and more legal than a carb V8. It'd also have more room to grow than your maxed out 6'er. You can find a good running LT1 for less than a grand. You'll probably have to build a swap harness, but its not impossible, and there are several good how-to's on youtube for these kinds of things.
You'll also need to look at your trucks fuel requirements for this kind of power, I bet due to its age, it's marginal at best by now.
Personal experience; Im a member of the 3rd Gen camaro/firebird forums. There are a ton of guys over there who play with the 6 bangers and have a wealth of info. Most of em that dump money into them, come up short and kill the resale value of their daily driver. The smartest ones build a 2nd powerplant, and swap it in over a week in order to minimize down time. And then sell the car and buy a V8 one
You really want to do it? 3.23 gears and a bucket of nitrous oxide. This may or may not be legal in your area, and you'll probably run the TBI lean and melt it down. FYI a full bottle of nawss in your car is not legal in most areas, armed or not. As a young guy, they'll be itching to throw the book at you. Most of us here have 1st hand experience in that.
Stick around here, you'll be an asset for sure
If your going to race please take it to the track it's not worth you dying or killing someone and ending up in jail if you street race.
My brother had a S-10 with a LS engine in it he would race it at the track it was a blast. Be safe buddy I see your young ok I care about you well I care for all.
|Hey Cobalt.You said the V6 OEM heads don't flow.I know the early versions had some issues,but the later Vortecs where much better.I'm curious if there is something I'm missing.

I've been meaning to address this for awhile now. I know the original ab plate needed some tweaking & now that I've come back to it fresh, I can see where some of the problems were. Pictured is the old plate rub n buffed, & the new plate in primer. Let me know what you think before I mold this up. I'll try to get to some digital overlays in the next couple of days unless someone else beats me to it;)
Also, for those of you that already own my chest armor set, this mod can be done without major surgery. I'll be posting a quick how-to if the mod gets general acceptance.

Time-Saving Tuna DishesNot just for lunch anymore, tuna is making a splash on the dinner table in salads, tapas dishes, fish cakes, and more. Pick up a pouch or can and get cooking for a delicious dinner that's ready in minutes.
Tuna Tortas with Pico de GalloA squeeze of fresh lime juice, chopped tomatoes, chilies, and fresh cilantro transform canned tuna into a bold and delicious sandwich filling with hardly any fat. Or serve the filling over field greens drizzled with oil for a fast weeknight meal.
Garden Tuna SaladThis creamy tuna salad is full of wonderful texture and color due to the addition of chopped onions, celery, capers and hard boiled eggs. Serve it sandwich style or add a garden full of garnishes to make a main course salad.
Tuna-Garbanzo SaladSplurge on a good quality oil-packed tuna for this Spanish style "small plate" dinner or appetizer. The elegant dish contains tuna, steamed green beans, Parmesan cheese and chickpeas that are tossed with both sherry vinegar and mayo.
Fruity Tuna-Salad Pita SandwichesTuna salad goes tropical with the addition of chopped pineapple, raisins and green onions. Instead of fresh tuna steak, substitute a 9-ounce can of albacore tuna and you'll have a perfect sandwich for picnics and boating adventures.
Tuna Cornbread CakesPure comfort food, these easy fish cakes are made with store bought cornbread mix and garlic-herb flavored pouch tuna. Bake and cool the cornbread early in the day so that the actual assembling and cooking of the fish cakes can be done in less than 15 minutes.
Pasta Shells with Tuscan TunaCooked noodles are drained, returned to the cooking pot and then tossed with pouch tuna, lemon zest, capers, onions and fresh basil for a speedy weeknight supper that tastes fresh and satisfying. Even better, since everything is tossed together in one pot, clean up is minimal.
Vegetable Panzanella with TunaTypically, the Italian salad called panzanella is a side dish made with ripe juicy tomatoes, stale bread, and a generous helping of olive oil. Here, with the addition of canned tuna, diced zucchini, red bell pepper, onions and olives it takes center stage as a flavorful main course.


text: I own a Molot VEPR in 308. Great gun but they lost the company to the builder of Saiga arms. I was hoping Saiga would pick up this fine line of rifles and issue their own since they are owners of the tooling. My main reason for hopeing this is that they will also make and sell magazines that will fit my rifle. Right now they are "rare collector's items", selling for 70.00 and up. Does anyone have an update if they plan to put these back into production. Thanks to all who respond.

TutorialsMaking a hierarchy aware templating system

Something that has been bothering me when building larger sites with SilverStripe is that I often find myself creating new classes not to add functionality, but to just get a new template.
You can set separate templates for different actions manually but that's not what I want in this case, I want different templates for the same action on the same class.
After thinking about this for awhile I came up with a two part solution and the first part is to make the template choosing aware of the Sitetree hierarchy.Continue reading...

Can you transition to small cell foundation one super at a time? Basically my very new hive (5 weeks old, 1 deep, 1 medium) has not worked the second super yet and I'd like to go out in the yard today and change the foundation in the second hive to small cell. I don't know when I'll get a chance to switch the bottom deep, probably not this season, so the hive would be would working with 2 different size foundations for awhile. Is the plan worth a try? This way I wouldn't have to be changing foundation in the 2nd box. Bee1Quote from: Robo on May 19, 2007, 10:47:20 AMIt is not that simple. It takes small bees to build small cell. As long as you have large cell in the brood area, they will keep rearing large bees.
It is not that simple. It takes small bees to build small cell. As long as you have large cell in the brood area, they will keep rearing large bees.
I've been thinking about this idea, and if the issue is that the large cells are on the bottom, and the bees will continue using that primarily for brood, what if the box of small cell foundation were placed under the current box (with larger cells)? If the tendency of bees is to have brood below and storage above, and storage cells larger than brood cells, wouldn't this setup encourage them to build out the smaller foundation below for brood and use the bigger cells in the upper box for storage?
Your analogy of brood on bottom storage on top is how man wants it to ideally be, not necessarily what the bees want. Think of a feral swarm and how they develop their nest. They find a suitable cavity and start building comb for a brood area first from the top of the cavity and continue to build down from there. My TBH have mostly drone cells at the bottoms.
If one is looking to move toward small cell, I wouldn't worry about the supers, but start by putting small cell foundation (or foundationless frames) in the middle of the brood chamber. This only works in the brood area, as Micheal also stated above, small cell bees draw larger cells for storage.
Quote from: Mici on May 19, 2007, 08:18:07 PMi'm really thinking bout importing some of that HSC or permacomb! it sure is expensive...with all the postal costs and stuff but for results..i hope it'll be worth it, if i do it.Yep. HSC for instant regression. That it the way to go these days. Enough for one brood box or a nuc and then from there go without foundation.
i'm really thinking bout importing some of that HSC or permacomb! it sure is expensive...with all the postal costs and stuff but for results..i hope it'll be worth it, if i do it.
What is this HSC again??? Is this something I can start using on my strong hive?? How to do this?? I want to go foundationless next year and is this a good way to start??Annette
I installed my packages this year (4 weeks ago), is there any disadvantage to starting their regression this season? Of course, my primary goal for them is that they have enough stores for the winter, and I don't want to encourage them to draw comb at the expense of winter stores...big bees are better than dead small bees. I'll be putting a second deep on each hive in the next week or so; they've drawn about 60%-70% of the frames currently in their single deeps. I'll use small cell starter strips, unless there's an advantage to using full sheets of small cell foundation?
Instead of just adding a supper of starter strips on top, I would consider slowly feeding them into the center of the existing brood chamber and move the current larger ones to the outside.
I've seen quite a number of times on these forums to not break up the brood nest with undrawn frames. Is regression an exception, or should I just place them at the edge of the brood frames?
If a a person buys a package of bees & a queen...shakes the bees into a hive body with HSC...even if the bees come from standard doundation...will the bees work the HSC without problems??? I am feeling that IF I start another hive, I might like to start with HSC even if it is extremely pricey IMHO...hhhhhmmm :-\

Officers will increase their patrols to specifically look for drunk drivers on our roadways. The stepped up enforcement runs through Sunday, November 4th.
Halloween night is one of the deadliest times of the year for drunk drivers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 48 percent of highway deaths nationwide on Halloween night in 2010 involved a drunk driver.

The subject of security never strays far from the minds of IT workers, for good reason. If there is a network with even just one connection to another network, it needs to be secured. RADIUS, or Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, is a widely deployed protocol that enables companies to authenticate, authorize and account for remote users who want access to a system or service from a central network server. Originally developed for dial-up remote access, RADIUS is now used by virtual private network (VPN) servers, wireless access points, authenticating Ethernet switches, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) access, and other network access types. Extensible, easy to implement, supported, and actively developed, RADIUS is currently the de facto standard for remote authentication.RADIUS provides a complete, detailed guide to the underpinnings of the RADIUS protocol, with particular emphasis on the utility of user accounting. Author Jonathan Hassell draws from his extensive experience in Internet service provider operations to bring practical suggestions and advice for implementing RADIUS. He also provides instructions for using an open-source variation called FreeRADIUS."RADIUS is an extensible protocol that enjoys the support of a wide range of vendors," says Jonathan Hassell. "Coupled with the amazing efforts of the open source development community to extend RADIUS's capabilities to other applications-Web, calling card security, physical device security, such as RSA's SecureID-RADIUS is possibly the best protocol with which to ensure only the people that need access to a resource indeed gain that access."This unique book covers RADIUS completely, from the history and theory of the architecture around which it was designed, to how the protocol and its ancillaries function on a day-to-day basis, to implementing RADIUS-based security in a variety of corporate and service provider environments. If you are an ISP owner or administrator, corporate IT professional responsible for maintaining mobile user connectivity, or a web presence provider responsible for providing multiple communications resources, you'll want this book to help you master this widely implemented but little understood protocol.
Jonathan Hassell is a systems administrator, IT consultant, and industry author residing in Raleigh, NC. He has extensive experience in networking technologies and Internet connectivity and currently runs his own web hosting business, Enable Hosting. He is the author of "RADIUS" for O'Reilly and Associates and is a columnist for WindowsITSecurity.COM and Pinnacle's Linux AppDev newsletter. He has also worked with IBM to develop a tutorial on Apache web server optimization.

RADIUS Review
By John Champa
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly RADIUS:
For anyone involved in network security of any kind, this book is MUST reading. It provides an easy to undertand approach with an excellent overview of RADIUS, but goes into sufficient detail to be useful in every day work. The diagrams are particularly well done. All the way from AAA to packet types through trouble shooting common problems, it is a valuable and worthwhile read.

Bar bands in Summit County: Rootsy, bluesy weekend
February 2, 2012
Who: Peace OfficerWhen: TonightWhere: Snake River Saloon, KeystoneWhere'd the name come from? I opened a fortune cookie that said, "You will form a band of warlord poets and spread virtue and justice across the land." It just came to me from there.Home base: Fort Collins/Northern ColoradoType of music: Dub-hop- deep bass, tight drums and revelrous rap songs for the people. Who are you? Peace Officer is a live-band hip-hop/reggae/dub crew with a sound featuring hip-hop lyrics and social consciousness with live, dub-inspired beats. The four MCs strive to entertain and educate with tales of life, struggle, passion and politics, all in a hype set that always leaves audiences wanting more.Awards: Peace Officer's energetic live show and innovative recordings have earned them several awards over the last two years: FoCoMx Peer Award for best in genre in 2009 and 2010; Best Band in Colorado in Colorado Music Buzz's Bandwagon competition; and, most recently, a nomination for best hip-hop band in Denver by Westword.If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? The Ocarina of Time. You know, from Zelda. Umm, because it's incredibly rad and transcends traditional interpretations of time-space.Why do people love ya? I always assumed it's because I carry bacon in my pockets, but it could be the incredibly fun, energetic live show, top musicianship and the flow of four MCs.How do you keep it fresh? Herbal essences. Several times a week. Also, by taking ourselves incredibly seriously and, starting in summer of 2010, the band began working with the Fort Collins nonprofit Spokesbuzz, an organization dedicated to advancing the music scene of Fort Collins. Through Spokesbuzz, Peace Officer has advanced their promotional and networking capabilities within the music industry, and will be returning with the group to South by Southwest in Austin again this year.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? Do we get attorney/client privilege? All my weirdest experiences were the result of weirdness-enhancement techniques, of which I will decline to go into further detail.
Who: El Ten ElevenWhen: TonightWhere: three20south, BreckenridgeWhere's the name from? An old passenger plane called an L-1011Home base: Southern CaliforniaType of music: Anti-marzipan instrumental flame broiled rock. (In other words, instrumental indie rock.)If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? A money sandwich, cuz we rich.What sets you apart? We are only two musicians on stage creating pounding landscapes of sound with no laptops or sequencers. Kristian Dunn switches off (sometimes mid-song) between a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass, while his feet dance on an extensive floorboard of looping devices and effects pedals. He plays everything live, loops himself and juggles all the layers of tracks on top of each other. Tim Fogarty switches between traditional acoustic drums, roto toms and electronic drum pads, usually within each song. To add to the insanity, Fogarty will occasionally loop himself as well.
Who: Fried GreaseWhen: SaturdayWhere: The Goat Tavern, Keystone.Where'd the name come from? Fried Grease is the name of a Greyboy Allstars song off their first record, "West Coast Boogaloo." Everyone in the band, made up of members of Vail's Flux 5 and Summit County's Big Richard, has a common love and respect for the type of music that band puts out. And, if you've ever heard our original tunes, it's a fitting name for us.Home base: Fried Grease was originally based in Summit County in Summit Cove. Currently, the band's house is in Coal Creek Canyon on the Front Range with members spread out between Denver and Boulder.Type of music: The band is known for playing a mix of tight, energetic, soul music and horn-driven funk with a touch of the South. It incorporates elements of jazz, rock, blues and soul into a hard-hitting, high-energy show that includes plenty of improvisation, as well. Recently, at the Belly Up in Aspen, someone that had never heard us before came up to us and said, "I've never heard so many different styles of music in one song!" Band members sometimes get down on themselves for writing music that doesn't necessarily fit into a category, or isn't the type of music you see when you go out to the club on any given night. We're starting to see, however, this band puts out some interesting material that is also easy to dance to. And, that's what is most important to us: To get as many people as we can up on the dance floor. Who are you? We are Fried Grease, and we like to get weird.If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? We are not unlike a tuxedo T-shirt. We can be formal, but we mainly came to party.Why do people love ya? Our band features a lead singer from Charleston, a guitarist from Nashville, a sax player from Western N.Y., a bassist from Tallahassee and a drummer from Richmond Va. Together, the musicians create a chemistry that really complements each individual, and the group as a whole. Our music is honest and different. But most importantly, we get people off their butts. Our band is special in that the more people we get in front of us, the bigger the party. It's pretty rare that anyone leaves early from a Fried Grease show.How do you keep it fresh? We have been writing a lot of new material lately. We have about 20 different pieces that, at some point, will become a new song, or get scrapped. But that's the key for us right now: exploring new styles and letting things flow naturally from one another and see where that takes us.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? We haven't done anything worthy of a story, yet. But, we'll drink your Kool-aide.
Who: Atomic PabloWebsite: http://www.atomicpablo.comWhen: SaturdayWhere: MotherLoaded Tavern. BreckenridgeWhere'd the name come from? Atomic Pablo was born in the deep, dark recesses of Pablo's desire to honor blues musicians, American rockabilly, Django Reinhardt and improv. Hilary's desire is to honor Led Zeppelin, Victor Wooten, and Bach simultaneously. Both desires fused in one band. We were going to call it "Zombie Pablo" but it seemed too stagnant, so – Atomic Pablo!Home base: Denver/Fort CollinsType of music: Blues, swing, rock, rockabillyWho are you? Paul Niemiec – guitar, vocals; Hilary Freeman – bass, vocals; Garrett Deloian – guitar, vocals; Kevin Smith – drumsIf your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? Hilary said: sushi – raw and punctuated with wasabi-spiced creative moments that make your nose run and your tongue happy. Paul said: clouds (Hilary says they're not that tangible), but they are always changing – powerful like storms, rain and wind, or calm like night-wisps back-lit by the moon. Hilary then said: shows you Paul is the poet in the group … but I think instead of sushi, I'd pick dark chocolate flavored with cayenne and cinnamon.Why do people love ya? Irresistible blues grooves, high-energy solos, danceable song choices that allows for spontaneous stage antics. People don't see the same show twice; the songs take twists based on the energy of the moment! (Hilary said: because we have a girl in the band!)What's the craziest/weirdest thing you've ever done? Weirdest: We played an outdoor show in Montrose once, and every time we started playing the birds started singing along. Then when we quit the birds would be silent. Craziest – dropped everything and got on a bus to San Jose, CA, to meet Esteban Maroto, a Spanish comic book artist, who is a fantastic inspiration.
Who: Shakedown StreetWhen: SaturdayWhere: three20south, BreckenridgeHome base: ColoradoSpawned from: Jam sessions at the Ancient Mariner bar in Manitou Springs, CO, in 1987Type of music: Grateful DeadFans are known as: "Shakeheads"If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? A toy claw vending machine: So many options, you don't know what you're gonna get, and it's always fun.Why do people love ya? The band has been playing Colorado for 25 years now. Most of the old folks still make it out, bringing their kids and grandkids. I think that it is a state-of-mind by now.How do you keep it fresh? We can play over 200 songs together and are always adding new ones. We always play songs differently, adding new twists and turns.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? In December of 2010, I got a call from DSO asking if I could sit in on keys at the Fillmore Denver. I took the offer and then hired Tom Constanten, from the Grateful Dead, to fly in from California and take my seat for Shakedown Street in Aspen.Claim to fame: One of the longest running Grateful Dead tribute bands in the world. Shakedown Street accomplishes this year after year by embodying the Grateful Dead ethos of improvisation and discovery, while maintaining an intimacy and open repoire with its audience. A whole new generation of "Shakeheads" has discovered the positive and collaborative energy found at a Shakedown Street concert. Longtime fans are thrilled to find the band sounding hotter than ever, and having the time of their lives!The band: Shakedown Street was formed 25 years ago (1987) by Ted Galloway and Rick Starkey in Manitou Springs. When I (Joe Weisiger) joined in July of 2005, Ted and Rick were still playing in the band. One-by-one all four of the guys retired, and I had to hire new ones as the old ones left. Presently, there are no original members left in the band. I was able to get Scott Swartz to re-join about three years ago (previously in Shakedown from 1993-98). The band has really grown in popularity these past few years and is sounding hotter than ever. To celebrate 25 years, we are going on a tour around Colorado with Melvin Seals and Vince Herman. They are jumping on the Shakedown anniversary train Feb 8. We will be doing a pre-tour kick off, just the five of us, Saturday. We are stoked!
Who: Dave Gerard & Moose (Duo)When: Sunday (annual post-Super Bowl party)Where: MotherLoaded, BreckenridgeWhere'd the name come from? My mom gave me my name – after the statue David. I still don't know where Moose got his nickname, although he does resemble a moose.Home base: Durham, NH, and Breckenridge, COType of music: Guitar and harmonica, vocals and occasional accordion with an edge! Roots music, R& B, soul, bluegrass.If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? A deep dark, sauce with smoky paprika – intense, flavorful, but with the ability to be smooth.How do you keep it fresh? Never a set list and always writing new originals and adding tasty covers to the mix. This tour features more brand-new tunes.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? Sleeping on a prison floor in Northern New Mexico during a snowstorm with seven guys, a van and a trailer.
Who: Rising LionWhen: Monday (DJ Rast Rob starts spinning at 5:30 p.m. and a Tanner Hall ski move, "Retallack" premieres at 6:30 p.m. Band starts at 8 p.m.)Where: Alma's Only BarHome base: Orlando, FLType of music: Reggae, rootsChanges: After a very successful summer touring season, Rising Lion, reggae/roots band from Orlando, Florida, is back out on the road with a brand new six-piece band.

I thought you were out in the street scratching your balls when the car hit you! Still a good joke.
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Blanche, our hunting dog at Wal-Mart and was standing in line about to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. First thing I thought was "where is your sign lady" but I decided to go with it . . . So on impulse, I told her, "No, I didn't have a dog but I'm starting the Purina Weight loss diet again."
I then said, "I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but I did lose 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms."
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is, you load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete . . . so I was going to try it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story to say the least. Totally horrified, the lady asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me.
I told her no; I had stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.
WAL-MART has asked me not to shop there anymore.
I thought you were out in the street scratching your balls when the car hit you! Still a good joke.

As school resumes, effort to prevent bullying grows
Redmond police, schools team up on tips program
REDMOND, Ore,. - "It was horrible -- horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible," Keri Martin, a concerned mother, said Monday.
She's describing her daughter's experience with bullying.
Keri's daughter is a 3.8 student and varsity volleyball athlete. She even has colleges interested in her.
"It started with the cyber bullying," Martin said. "You know -- the tweets, the Facebook."
She said the online bullying escalated to face-to-face abuse.
Redmond School District officials said they have protocol in dealing with bullying that takes place on school property. They try to handle cyber bullying in the best way that they can as well.
"We have to see that it's interrupting our instruction during the day," said Martha Hinman, executive director of student services. "So even if the text comes at 9 o'clock at night and it goes into the day, that's something we will definitely be addressing."
However, Martin is still confused on who to call to help her and her family.
"I called the police," Martin said. "They said, 'There's nothing we can do,' said call the school in the morning, I did -- the resource officer got involved, and of course the girls denied it."
Knowing who interviews and when is not black and white any more.
I really think the schools need to catch up to technology and even the police," Martin said.
Which is why Redmond High School and Redmond police are teaming up to create a program designed for kids of the "tech" age.
The program is called Text a Tip. Kids can text a number and report all kinds of abuses and issues they see on and off school property.
The number is 541-316-5585. The number is anonymous for those who use it and is reserved for Redmond-area high schoolers., at least for now.
Police say if someone abuses the hotline, they are able to retrieve information needed to find the person behind the number.
The hope is that police can use the same technology that kids use to bully, to put an end to the abuse.

Hello everyone,
I have just begun teaching English to a young Spanish learner (11 years old). The student already has some knowledge of English and is learning it in school as well, so I'm only providing extra tuition. However, the student's parents have given me complete freedom with each lesson (which last 30 minutes, twice a week).
I am a native speaker of English, but I have no qualifications and have never taught anyone before. Basically, I don't know where to start! Can anyone help me out or give me some advice? Are there any sites that provide lesson plans for young learners? Should I focus on anything in particular? Vocabularly/grammar? Obviously I need things that aren't going to be too advanced, but at the same time, nothing that is going to be too elementary either.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Report: Apple's A5X Beats Tegra 3 in Graphics, But Not in Pure CPU Performance
Jason Mick
March 19, 2012 12:10 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: iFixit)
Benchmarks show Apple's chip is generally the more fit competitor, however the Tegra 3 still manages to impress
Apple, Inc.'s (
) new iPad 3 processor, the A5X, has been pitted against a top-of-the-line Android chip from NVIDIA Corp. (
), the Tegra 3 in the real world. The Tegra 3 is found in
the Transformer Prime
, the flagship Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) tablet from ASUSTEK Computer, Inc. (
Early reviews
analysis commentaries
from various parties were rather light on hard performance numbers for the CPU. But the folks over at
Laptop Magazine
a full set of CPU and GPU benchmarks on the iPad 3 and evaluated how it performed versus the Tegra 3.
In GLBenchmark 2.1, the A5X is a beast. Apple's tablet system-on-a-chip (SoC) is thought to pack a PowerVR SGX543MP4+ (the same chip found in the Sony Corp.'s (
PlayStation Vita
). Apple wasn't kidding when it said the chip
was four times as fast as the Tegra 3
. In a huge win for Imagination Technologies plc. (
), the GPU is actually close to
5 times
as fast as Tegra 3's GeForce derived mobile GPU.

Ironically, while graphics veteran NVIDIA languishes in graphics, it hits back equally hard in the CPU department. The Tegra 3 outperformed the A5X more than 2-fold in the GeekBench benchmark, which examines various CPU performance metrics. The only victory for Apple came in the stream test.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
Overall, these results are not surprising. Both the A5X and Tegra 3 use the licensed Cortex-A9 design from ARM Holdings Plc. (
). And the A5X has two cores, while the Tegra 3 is a quad-core design. Now, the comparison isn't exactly apples and apples, as the Tegra 3 in the Transformer Prime is clocked at 1.3 GHz, where as the iPad's chip is clocked at 1 GHz. Thus the A5X may be actually a bit more efficient on a per-core basis, albeit weaker overall in raw power.
A handful of games such as Shadowgun and RipTide are using the Tegra 3's extra computing muscle to pull off slick effects like physics and reflections. While the iPad 3 lacks these niceties, it does offer much crisper rendering, thanks to its higher resolution 2048x1536 pixel screen. That's a lot of pixels, hence the need for that beefy GPU.
The iPad 3 (right) reportedly offers a crisper image, but the Tegra 3 powered Transformer Prime (left) offers better lighting and fix-driven objects like the flags hanging overhead.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
In terms of gaming the iPad 3 and Transformer Prime seem to be neck and neck -- the iPad 3 offers gaudier resolutions, but the Transformer Prime offers unique visual effects in certain apps.
ASUSTEK is also hoping to level the playing field a bit with its coming Transformer Prime "Infinity" (TF701), which sports a 1920x1200 pixel resolution, up from the current model's 1280x800. The real question is what GPU will be inside that. After all, the Tegra 3 doesn't seem like it has the muscle to power that high a resolution display. One has to wonder whether ASUSTEK won't jump ship to a new PowerVR equipped SoC to quench its mobile graphics thirst.

"I sent off the order, only to realise that night that I had to change the date of the event due to scheduling problems! I called Tiny Prints early the next morning and was able to put a hold on the printing until I could confirm the date. I called 2 days later and they were able to send it off to a designer before it went to printing. The staff were very understanding and helpful. And I got the order 2 days later! And I live in Canada! Very happy with the quality of the invitations. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend it to my friends!"
"These cards are absolutely beautiful! I could not believe the quality of the product for the price. The image quality is crisp and clear (actually better than I anticipated!), and the card stock is nice and thick. Very durable. I've ordered many times from tiny prints and wedding paper divas, usually some more expensive items, but these invites are right up there with the rest of them!"
"I looked everywhere for a card that would convey "the holidays" without screaming christmas (my son was getting baptised Dec. 27th) With a picture of him in a santa hat, this card was adorable! The quality of the photo was incredible and the grey color font looked elegant. Amazing quality for the price. I was very happy with this product!"
"I am very happy with the design of the card. It was posted on the site for a boy, but with the flexibility of the site, I was able to adjust to use for my daughter. Loved how it turned out."
"We couldn't spend a lot on invitations for our baby's Christening and we were so happy about the quality of this invite. It was a beautiful invitation and we've received a lot of compliments on it."

Second-grader brings grenade to class
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
SANTA ROSA BEACH, Fla. — A Florida Panhandle elementary school called in a bomb squad after a second-grader brought a grenade for show-and-tell.
Wendy Ammons of the Walton County Sheriff's Office says the bomb squad determined that the grenade wasn't live.
The county's superintendent tells the Northwest Florida Daily News that the Bay Elementary School student bought the grenade at a gun show with his parents over the weekend.
Superintendent Carlene Anderson says the boy's parents warned him not to take it to school, but he brought it to class Monday anyway.
Anderson says a school resource officer found a hole in the bottom of the grenade but still thought it best to call in a bomb squad. All outside activities were stopped while authorities examined the device outside the school.

American Congressman Robert Wexler, a prominent political ally of President Obama, urged the Israel government to place a freeze on West Bank settlements, arguing to do so would send a message that Israel is ready to compromise. "A request for a moratorium or freeze in settlement activity that can be mutually agreed upon by the US and Israel in the next several weeks is a tiny, tiny gesture and down payment to make when you look at potentially what is on other side of the equation." Wexler pointed out if the Israel willingness to compromise on an important issue did not meet with reciprocal gestures by President Abbas, Israel comes out on top as the nation seeking peace. In a sense, Congressman Wexler urged Israel to call the bluff of Palestinians regarding their interest in peace.
Hopefully, Prime Minister Netanyhu will listen carefully to sound advice. A few months of no housing in the West Bank is not a terrible price to pay to discover the seriousness of Palestinian leaders. Wexler also pointed out the Israel media has rarely reported what Obama is demanding of Arab nations such as direct economic links with Israel, cultural and educational exchanges and over-fly rights for Israel airlines.
Now is the time for Israel to demonstrate it is willing to go the extra mile in the quest for peace. That will achieve greater results than invading Gaza.

The Councilor
A darker than dark stylish tale of drug cartel brutality with A-list stars.
If Pulitzer prize winning author Cormac McCarthy wrote it, you know it's bleak. His apocalyptic "The Road" was so utterly depressing , many walked out. They couldn't take it, costing Viggo Mortensen an Oscar nomination. Then there was the Oscar winning "No Country For Old Men", scoring an Academy award for Javier Bardem , as the psychopathic killer. "The Counselor" reunites McCarthy with Bardem, who adds to the list of his bad-hair flicks. This time it's all spiked out. In "Skyfall" it was garishly blonde and the worst of all was the 'do in his Oscar-winning role.
The amazing Michael Fassbender gives his second award-worthy role in as many weeks, following the limited release of the must-see and already Gotham Indie award-nominated "12 Years A Slave". This week, he's a nameless lawyer who looks to make a quick blowload (excuse the pun) of money through the drug trade, despite warnings from high-fashioned Bardem and Brad Pitt. You know from the get-go, this can't end well. Which is an understatement.
The movie begins with the counselor in bed , pleasuring Penelope Cruz (who is Bardem's real-life wife". This is one of the few films where Fassbender doesn't flaunt his manhood.
While director Ridley Scott ("Alien", "Gladiator" and "Blackhawk Down) doesn't flinch from the drug trade brutality (this is an uberly violent film), he throws in some comic relief, mostly thanks to the bad-haired but again very stylized and gold-toothed Cameron Diaz, who looks like a younger version of Ellen Barkin. She plays the Cruella DeVille of drug dealers. I promise, you will never ever hear the word "catfish" again without immediately flashing back to her doing a commando split , humping a car windshield with Bardem's mouth open in amazed horror. Miley Cyrus could take lessons from Diaz!!!!
The cast includes , in tiny roles, a much-missed Rosie Perez, an equally missed Rueben Blades, Goran Visnjic and John Leguizamo.
This is one downer of a film. You know early on how it ends. You just don't know how. It's not a movie you "enjoy". It's more a "trip". A bad trip. It's major flaw, besides a total lack of character development: it's too too long at just under 2 hours.
I counsel an after-movie drink for "The Counselor".
