Radical anti-gun extremists propose new front in their war against the Second Amendment after Supreme Court ruling.
Exactly how is that going to vanquish the evil in peoples hearts that allows them to kill each other? This is a wolf in sheeps clothing designed to slowly drive firearm manufacturers out of business.
thats about one of the stupidest things ive ever read. the manufacturer has no control on what one will use their guns for. this "performance based idea will NOT work. at least not in the manufactures favor. if anyone votes for this they must be idiots to think manufacturers have control over criminals.
If this thinking is carried to it's logical conclusion then the same setup could be done for drunk drivers and others who commit vehicular homicide. If Ford is the number one vehicle used, give a bonus to Honda and GM and fine the crap outta Ford. Heck, bathtub accidents are probably the number one killer in the US, let's fine Kohler!
If they want "performance based" reduction in crime, why not the same setup for the cops and the courts? You don't get enough convictions of repeat offenders and at least a 20 year sentence with no parole dock their pay. Go over quota, get a bonus. Can you imagine the ruckus the ACLU would raise over that one? That means it's working. ;)
The ACLU....don't even get me started.
People seem to think that firearms are like plutonium.
DEADLY in any useage, and only crazy people want them.
Anti gunners FAIL to carry over logic when dealing with gun issues. As the Kernel said, compare it to other TOOLS. Cars, Food, axes, explosives.
Are they all deadly -yes.
I just cant see why people blame the inanimate object?
How gun makers can help us
Make firearms manufacturers figure out how to reduce the 12,000 shooting deaths each year.
By Jeffrey Fagan and Stephen D. Sugarman
June 29, 2008
This year, about 12,000 Americans will be shot to death. It's a staggering figure, and even though lawmakers have continued to pass gun-control laws to try to bring the number down, they have not significantly reduced the murder rate. Indeed, for the last decade, guns have steadily remained the cause of about two-thirds of all homicides.
Gun manufacturers insist that these deaths are not their fault, preferring to pin the blame on criminals and irresponsible dealers. They have fiercely resisted even minimal restrictions on sales and have simultaneously washed their hands of responsibility for this "collateral damage."
On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court made the problem a little more difficult to solve, ruling in District of Columbia vs. Heller that the individual's right to bear arms is indeed protected by the 2nd Amendment -- and making it clear that some laws banning guns would have a difficult time passing constitutional muster in the future.
What is to be done? The conventional regulatory approaches seem to be failing. A more recent strategy, in which victims or municipalities bring lawsuits against gun manufacturers or retailers, seems legally and politically unpromising since the 2005 passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which shields gun manufacturers from civil liability.
We propose a new way to prod gun makers to reduce gun deaths, one that would be unlikely to put them out of business or to prevent law-abiding citizens from obtaining guns. By using a strategy known as "performance-based regulation," we would deputize private actors -- the gun makers -- to deal with the negative effects of their products in ways that promote the public good.
In other words, rather than telling gun makers what to do, performance-based regulation would tell them what outcome they must achieve: Reduce deaths by guns. Companies that achieve the target outcomes might receive large financial bonuses; companies that don't would face severe financial penalties. Put simply, gun makers -- whose products kill even when used as directed -- would have to take responsibility for curbing the consequent public health toll.
Under our plan, Congress might require gun makers in the aggregate to reduce gun homicides from 12,000 to, say, 7,000 in 10 years, with appropriate interim targets along the way. Individual firms would each have their own targets to meet, based on the extent their guns are currently used in homicides. Or Congress might simply leave it to neutral experts to determine just how much of a numerical reduction should be required -- and how quickly. Either way, the required decline would be substantial.
How would gun companies go about reducing gun deaths? The main thing to emphasize is that this approach relies on the nimbleness, innovation and experimentation that come from private competition -- rather than on the heavy-handed power of governmental regulation. Gun makers might decide to add trigger locks to their guns, or to work only with dealers who meet certain standards of responsibility. They might withdraw their semiautomatic weapons from the consumer market, or even work hand in hand with local officials to fight gangs and increase youth employment opportunities. Surely they will think up new strategies once they have a legal obligation and financial incentive to take responsibility for the harm their products cause.
Performance-based regulation leaves it up to them to decide. This is the same outcome-based approach that the No Child Left Behind program takes concerning schools. Through No Child Left Behind, parents and school officials set achievement targets for students, and schools then have to figure out how to meet the targets. Similarly, performance-based regulation is used in a variety of pollution-control schemes and is becoming the preferred global strategy to combat climate change. For example, under pressure from coalitions of environmentalists, scientists and citizens, regulatory bodies are ordering public utilities to sharply cut their carbon emissions. The companies are responsible for designing solutions to best achieve that goal, which could include switching fuels, changing the way they produce electricity, installing scrubbers on smokestacks and so on.
Sen. Michael D. Enzi (R-Wyo.) has put forward a proposal along the same lines to target tobacco. Typically, anti-smoking organizations lobby Congress to give the Food and Drug Administration regulatory power over cigarette companies, and press locally to increase tobacco taxes, run more government anti-tobacco ads and boost enforcement of bans on sales to minors. Under Enzi's performance-based regulation plan, however, the tobacco companies would simply be told by Congress that they have to cut their customer base by about 50% in 12 years. It would then be up to the companies to figure out how to curtail smoking rates.
So how exactly might this work in the case of gun makers? For more than half of all gun homicides, law enforcement officials are able to identify the precise type of lethal weapon that was used. From that data, reliable statistical projections can be made to determine each company's approximate share of all homicides. Each company's quotas would be based on the data, and tied to an ever-decreasing number of deaths.
A more fine-tuned strategy would set different gun-death-reduction quotas based on the specific weapon -- with larger reductions mandated for guns that are more commonly used in homicides.
The plan might even include a "cap and trade" feature. If some gun makers managed to reduce the gun deaths caused by their product even faster than the rules required, they could sell that excess to other companies.
If gun makers fail to reach the performance targets, they would face substantial financial penalties that would hike the cost of the guns they make and drive home the huge negative social consequences they now cause.
Our proposal is not a tax on gun sales. As long as gun companies met their goals, they would pay nothing extra to the government. Indeed, the plan might reward them with bonuses.
Performance-based regulation is not about the government denying people access to guns. It's not an academic theory about the underlying causes of gun deaths, nor is it a restriction on the right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms. Instead, it is a practical way to align the gun companies' interests with the public interest and, ultimately, to save lives.
Jeffrey Fagan is a professor of law and public health at Columbia University. Stephen D. Sugarman is a professor of law at UC Berkeley.
Thats right. Start mandating targets for McDonalds, and all other fast food joints as well.
Then start with beer, tobacco and liquor companies.
Work on automobiles last and then we'll all be much safer.

Einhorn case against Apple rests on unusual legal tactic
By Nate Raymond
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hedge fund star David Einhorn wants to force Apple Inc to share some of its huge cash reserves with investors, but his lawsuit rests on a U.S. securities rule that has little legal precedent.
Einhorn's Greenlight Capital sued the iPad and iPhone maker in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Thursday to try to prevent Apple from eliminating preferred stock from its charter. The suit is part of Einhorn's bid to pressure Apple to use some of its $137 billion in cash to issue perpetual preferred shares that pay dividends to existing shareholders.
The suit contends Apple violated Securities and Exchange Commission rules that prohibit companies from "bundling" unrelated matters into a single proposal for a shareholder vote.
Establishing that Apple violated the rules could be tricky. Little to no case law exists on the question and the SEC's own rule is relatively general with little guidance, legal experts said.
Still, James Cox, a professor at Duke University School of Law, thinks Einhorn "has a hell of good case."
"I think he's got Apple in the crosshairs," he added, saying that it "strikes me as a fairly dramatic case of bundling."
The hedge fund manager is seeking an injunction to block a February 27 shareholder vote on the proposal, saying Apple violated Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Arguments are to be heard before U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan on February 22. Apple has until February 15 to file a response with the court.
The proxy proposal at issue, Proposal No. 2, seeks to amend Apple's articles of incorporation in three ways: by providing for majority voting for directors, establishing a par value for Apple stock and eliminating its ability to issue preferred stock. Continued...

The story follows two now historic men. The GM of the Brooklyn Dodgers Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) and the now hall of fame baseball player Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Two men who had dreams of money, fame and hopefully equality for a nation with a hidden turmoil. Remembered for breaking baseball's color line, this story focuses on the hard fought journey of an older man's dream and a younger man's reluctance that transforms into heroism.
Jackie becomes this hero as he shows the fortitude of a man with a larger cause. Turning the other cheek was never harder as droves of press, the public, the law and even other players screamed their disapproval and rage.
Absorbing this rage would not be possible for Jackie without his GM Rickey behind him. History remembers the men who stepped through the door, but not always the men who opened it first. Branch Rickey created the opportunity and had the dream that shook Baseball and a nation.
"42" is historic and entertaining with a great story and cast. The truth that arises from this film doesn't cause awkward moments and the down points, but definitely creates cheer for the high ones. The story does focus on Jackie and his struggles, but the surprise in the movie is the scope given to Ford's character Branch Rickey. He creates a surprisingly warm character and delivers a piece of history that should be remembered and celebrated.

Hello everyone,
I am currently doing on online TEFL course with i to i but obviously this course will not provide me with actual experience of teaching.
I have arranged to do some observations at a reputable language school nearby, but this will only be observation work. Can anyone who has done an online course provide me with any ideas as to how I would go about getting teaching experience? I am starting to worry that this course will be a waste of time and money if I cannot get hired due to no practical experience.

Perfect for my needs. Great splash protection on moderate paddles and helps to extend my paddle season. I used the Sneak for the first time on a cool 33 degree Black Friday paddle on the Brandywine Creek for 15 miles. I had the normal paddle drips and did a few wave fields with splash onto the deck. Without the sprayskirt I would have been wet. What water that didn't just run off of skirt ran off by lifting the center a bit. I really like the zipper access to the cockpit for drink and snack.

Good deck bag for keeping bare essentials at hand. Minimizes wind/water drag over bulkier designs. I've used this deck bag in high-wind situations, where a more bulky design would have caught and created excess weather-cocking. The bag was big enough for a small 1st aid kit, beach blanket, and my point & shoot camera. There was room for some small snacks and a water bottle, too. There is an internal framesheet that keeps the rounded shape of the bag. This also makes it harder to stow-away, as… Full review

- Perfect Native Integration: Those of you who have used either Open or Libre Office under KDE will know that integration is far from perfect, even with the right packages installed. Calligra will finally provide a perfectly integrated office suite for KDE users.
- Reduced Size: Unlike those other popular office suites, Calligra has a fairly small disk space footprint.
- A Fresh New Approach: Calligra brings a new take on its UI, deviating from anything MS Office ever did. A bold move, we'll have to wait and see how users adoption goes.
- Krita: Probably the star of the suite at this point and a good enough reason for many to install and start using Calligra.

@Arup forget MS Office, in all honesty MS can die in hellfire. If you want calligra you will use ODF or the default calligra saves to.ReplyDelete
Not limiting to licensing I am so sick of MS Office being the be-all end-all of office suites. Calligra has options no other office suite on earth can measure up to, not mentioning wouldn't translate to .docx at all. The way Koffice aka calligra is developed, just would not make that at all possible in any universe.

FYI, the count is now over 400 dead in the Juarez drug war just this year.
If you are thinking of visiting El Paso, don't even think about going over the border.
Several of the shooting victums have been transported to the county hospital in El Paso. The last two were police officers.
I mention this because both firearms and ammunition are illegal there. A soldier passing through El Paso last month lost his freedom for a month and his firearms as well because he made a wrong turn and ended up on the bridge where the Mexican border guards stopped him. He's free now, without his gun collection. Heck-of-a-way to spend a 30 day leave before redeployment!

Hunter's Britney Vigil had a smile on her face from ear to ear. Her coach, Wes Haymone, did too.
Vigil and her teammates executed what a coach dreams about Wednesday afternoon, which resulted in a 21-2 rout of the host East softball team that was called after four innings due to the mercy rule.
The Wolverines did everything right.
They hit. They fielded. They stole bases. They picked off runners. Oh, and they hit some more.
"I was very pleased with our pitching performance in the circle," Haymone said. "We played good, solid defense. The bats were alive today."
The Wolverines smacked 12 hits and took advantage of four errors to open up an eight-run lead after two innings.
"These kids are taught that if someone makes an error, that gives us another at bat," Haymone said. "Especially if it's the third out. We try to take advantage of that and produce offense because of the error."
Hunter easily took advantage. Caitlin Pehrson had three doubles, Bailey Vigil clobbered a two-run homer and East walked in two Hunter runs to keep the scoreboard operator busy.
"We all did our part today," Vigil said. "We hit very well. Our defense was strong. We played really well."

A new report by the United States Institute for Peace claims America is no closer to achieving its goals in Iraq today than it was a year ago, but it argues a sudden withdrawal might result in massive chaos, and even genocide. The organization, which provided information to the Iraq Study Group, is not very optimistic about either the prospect of remaining or leaving Iraq. According to authors of the report, "the U.S. is no closer to being able to leave Iraq than it was a year ago. Lasting political development could take five to ten years of full, unconditional U.S. military commitment to Iraq." The report was issued two days before General Petraeus was due to present his ideas on the course of events in Iraq.
An interesting conclusion reached by experts who worked on this document is if America opts for a reduced military commitment in Iraq, the focus should be on political and economic development projects. There is scant doubt political and economic efforts should have been at the front of American efforts over the past five years instead of the Bush emphasis on military action. Perhaps, a new president would be willing to work with Iran and other nations in the region to foster peace efforts.

Good afternoon.
I'm from NY, and I took my dog with me hunting in Arkansas last January. We had an awesome time. In fact, I'm going back again in January (different location and guide, however).
During last year's hunt, on the last day I noticed he started limping. I checked his paw, and didn't see anything stuck in it, or any blood. We finished the hunt and got on the rode to drive back to NY.
When we stopped for the evening, I noticed him licking the bottom of his paw. I checked and the paw was a little swollen and had a small puncture wound...smaller than a finishing nail. When I put a little pressure on his foot it started bleeding a lot.
I cleaned with saline, anti bacterial, and bandaged him up. The next day I was home and took him to the vet. The vet said he had a nasty infection and put him on 10 days of antibiotics.
I happened to speak with the guide we used about a week after the hunt. He said that the pond we hunted had a lot of thorn bushes surrounding it....which I knew. He also said that he's seen other dog's have the same problem because there is some sort of toxin on the thorn.
Is there any truth to this, or did he just have a cut that got infected? In other words, is this something I have to be concerned with this January?

Wheaton College has been noted for its academic standard: over 95% of our faculty hold terminal degrees, we have a top 25 liberal arts science department, and we are ranked 9th out of 900 liberal arts colleges for the number of graduates who go on to earn doctorates. This holds little significance, however, unless it is tied to our guiding motto: For Christ and His Kingdom. Through everything we do, we seek to discover Christ's kingdom in our midst, and in the world around us. We are a community dedicated to learning, loving, and serving. A community of grace.

David asks:
Can I use my cell phone (not a smartphone) as a router for my Kindle Fire HDX (WiFi only) to get on the Internet when not in a WiFi location? I have an LG phone, circa 2009, with Bluetooth and Internet capability. I can't figure out the model # of the LG (it's a flip type, like a Star Trek communicator), otherwise I'd give you that too.
Hi David!
Cell phones can be set up to provide wireless access similar to a router, although when they provide this, they are generally called a "hotspot".
I cannot say for certain if your particular phone can be turned into a mobile hotspot, but the best way to find out is to contact your cellular network provider and ask. As you mention it is not a smartphone, you may not be able to use it. Also keep in mind this service is generally an additional charge on your monthly cell phone bill, as well, and will make use of your data plan. If you have data plan limits, keep an eye on the amount you are using to avoid additional charges.

Dick Despommier is often talking about the importance of ecology when understanding parasitism. Does he have any suggestions for good introductory texts to the subject for someone of my lowly level?
I recently came across this article, which led me to the idea of Oogst. Has Professor Despommier come across this, and how does he view it in relation to the idea of Vertical Farming?

Hello Guys,
Sorry but I wanna share a non-parasite related news story with you guys.
Came across this article about how the government in Singapore is deciding to invest in roof-top gardens here, as a measure of controlling the recent cases of flash flooding here.
When I read it, i was reminded of Dr Despommier's brain child, the Vertical Farm. I guess this is not exactly a farm but it has a lot in common and displays another way of how incorporating fauna in cities can help solve problems in an urban setting.
You guys may choose to read this email on your Vertical Farming Podcast instead of TWIP.
That should be coming pretty soon right? *cheeky grin.
Love the show

Dear Dickson and Vincent,
(Not sure if I sent this to the right place on the microbe world website, but as I noticed that you gave this email address at the end of the podcasts I thought I'd try it as well...)
Thanks for your wonderful series of podcasts; I have been working my way through all of TWIP and you are currently keeping me sane whilst I data-enter several thousand clinical records from a malaria prevalence survey. I also have TWIV on CDs which I listen to in my car on my commute route to my workplace in Muheza, North East Tanzania. And I'm very excited by TWIM which I will indulge in soon.
I am a medical entomologist currently working on insecticide-treated materials against malaria vectors and have a question which I hope you'll discuss on TWIP in relation to malaria but also in a broader context. It is this: do you think we already have enough tools to control (many) infectious diseases and that funding should be channeled into improved application/delivery of those tools and away from the search for novel techniques and 'blue sky' research? For malaria, we already have a diverse arsenal of proven weapons and auxiliary tools including bed nets, indoor residual spraying, intermittent preventative treatment, house screening, rapid diagnostic tests; GPS and mobile phone systems have vastly improved surveillance, we have subsidized and highly effective frontline drugs for treatment, amazing repellents and lures for mosquitoes etc. etc. People like Fred Soper and Malcolm Watson were incredibly successful at reducing malaria 60+ years ago with a much more limited arsenal. You might say that there was much less resistance to insecticides and anti-malarial drugs in those days, but in recent times two brilliant weapons emerged that are still being used, to which there was no resistance, i.e. pyrethroid insecticides and artemisin-based combination therapy (ACTs). What do you think are the major stumbling blocks in infectious disease control? Is the health sector too slow to act on research findings*?
Many thanks and keep up the good work.
Matt, National Institute for Medical Research, Tanzania & London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
p.s. I wrote this before I saw the topic of Twip 35! I hope this question is still relevant (and I'm going to listen to that episode now once I can download it!)

Dear Doctors R&D,
I love your podcast! It is wonderful to listen to commuting to work and while I am working as the support technician for the chemistry and microbiology teaching labs at our small state college. My favorite thing about your show is that the format is similar to the "seminar" or "journal club" courses that were my favorite in graduate school (that was back when I too wanted to be a "dr.", before I became a lapsed microscope jockey. Maybe I will go back to grad school....maybe...some day). Basically these 1-2 credit courses consisted of grad students getting together with a professor to pick apart papers in specific disciplines such as microbiology (we went over the "old" "elegant" research that was the foundation of modern microbiology), microbial genetics (we called that one "cloning club), current topics in molecular biology, current topics in elasmobranch biology, and current topics in shellfish aquaculture. My background is in fish and shellfish pathology, specifically the microbial and parasitic (and molecular aspects thereof) diseases of cultured fish and shellfish. Bearing that in mind, while I realize that you focus your podcasts on human/public health issues related to parasitism, might you consider doing an episode about epizootic parasites (or microbes or viruses) that impact humans economically and/or ecologically? Some examples that come to mind are my good friends QPX (quahog parasite unknown) or Perkinsus marinus in the New England shellfishery, "bumper car" disease in Long Island Sound lobsters, or the recent controversy surrounding the ISAV (infectious salmon anemia virus) outbreak in the Pacific Northwest. Then of course there are always parasites that are just fun for their "gross" factor like "salmon poisoning disease". Regardless if your decision regarding the discussion of parasitism of non-human animals I will continue to look forward to your TwiP, TwiV, and TwiM podcasts.
Thank you!
P.S. I read "Parasite Rex" as a freshman in college and it is still one of my favorite books!
P.P.S. "Monsters Inside Me" sometimes grosses me out, and that is saying a lot for it's accuracy!

text: If Kim Yu-Na goes on to become a double Olympic champion and a 3 times world champion by the end of the 2013/14 season, will that make her arguably the greatest female singles figure skater of all time? My view is that it would. She will have proved that she has just as much technical ability as any female skater that has ever lived (except perhaps for Midori Ito). Her artistry is up there with most of the top artistic skaters in history. She would also have demonstrated that she has the nerve and competitive spirit to win the most important events (i.e. the Olympics, Worlds). Michelle Kwan, of course, never managed to win an Olympic title. Furthermore, she will almost have matched Katrina Witt in terms of the number of Olympic and World titles she will have won - Katarina won 4 World titles along with her two Olympic titles. Neither Kim nor Katarina can match the number of titles won by Sonja Henie, but Henie was competing in a completely different era in which the sport was totally different to what it is today. Hence, what Kim will have demonstrated is that she has it all - that she is the complete package: technical and artistic ability of the highest quality, the nerve to win the big events, and a medal haul to match that of all except Witt and Henie.

Nottinghamshire has added the catalogue of their Manorial Records onto the Manorial Documents Register. This means you will be able to search online at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mdr/ to find out what documents have survived and where they are houses. Manorial records aren't always where you would expect them to be ie at the county record office. For instance the Nottinghamshire records are held at nearly 50 different locations.
More information can be found at the following sites…
There is an excellent podcast by Liz Hart on Manorial Records for those unfamiliar with these valuable records.http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/podcasts/manorial-documents-register.htm

Use 4-0 steel wool, not 3-0.
Use a little oil with the steel wool.
If scratches remain, try rubbing them out with crocus cloth (that is, jeweler's rouge).
Clean really well, after polishing.
If it's an heirloom gun worth preserving, you could try end-grain balsa wood, with oil.
Balsa is just a little bit abrasive, and may not leave any scratching at all.
Do not use a power tool.

If it does. A normal sight picture won't work. You have to cover the point of impact with the front sight dot. That will take care of being low.

AMES, Iowa — Iowans who are looking for ways to improve their personal or family finances may sign up now for Take Control of Your Money. This self-paced, online workshop is provided free by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Whether your goal is to save more, pay down debt, give more to charity or have more money for a certain type of spending, being in control of your money is the key," said Barb Wollan, an ISU Extension and Outreach family finance specialist.
Instructions for enrolling in the course are online at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/families/take-control.
"The Web course does not tell you how you should use your money – that decision is yours," Wollan said. "The focus is on equipping your household to reach your goals, whatever they may be."
Take Control of Your Money provides tools for clarifying goals and priorities and evaluating current spending patterns, Wollan explained. Participants will learn how to develop a spending plan that works toward their goals and can try a variety of tools that can help them follow their plan, including Excel spreadsheets, online tools and paper and pencil techniques. Additional information is provided on special topics such as dealing with debt, building financial security and family communication about money. The course also includes reading material as well as mini-lessons that can be completed in 3-10 minutes on several topics.
"Take Control of Your Money is designed for you to use at your own pace. You can pick and choose the topics that will be most useful to you," Wollan said. She suggests sticking with the course for at least a month, to allow time to fully try out the tools and practice the strategies, but noted, "you can move through the content as quickly as you wish."

spotlight show • Butch Vig could be resting on his laurels after producing the Foo Fighters' latest album which cleaned up at the Grammys and Nirvana's epochal "Nevermind." But the 57-year-old, has fun when he plays with his dance-rock band Garbage, which is back together after several long hiatuses. The band cut short its 2005 concert tour because of "exhaustion," Vig said in a recent telephone interview. In time, the four members realized that when they get together, there is "magic." A veteran skier who has tackled the slopes at Alta and Snowbird, Vig persuaded his bandmates to ditch their major label for the upcoming release of "Not Your Kind of People." "It's both liberating and terrifying," he said of the split. "We butted heads with our label on our last album. … They're always looking for pop hits. Sometimes they would try to homogenize our sound."

Rich Wyman
spotlight show • Rich Wyman is one of the most respected musicians on the local scene, which explain why several Utah musicians including Lisa Needham, Terence Hansen, Rehan Jacob, Eric Munoz, George T. Gregory, Joy & Eric, Shaky Trade, Ricardo Romero, Liz Anderson and David Rolfe will join him onstage for the release of "Good Company." A dueling piano player at Keys on Main, Wyman also is the recipient of 10 ASCAP Awards. The rocking piano man first came to Park City in 1990 to ski and, for the most part, never left. While living in Park City, he found himself at the same dinner party as Eddie Van Halen a moment he said changed his life. The two bonded over music, writing songs that became the foundation of Wyman's second album. He will debut songs from "Good Company," an album that was three years in the making.

spotlight show • Metric frontwoman Emily Haines has been leading the Canadian indie-rock band for close to 15 years, and she is still "obsessed" with writing the perfect song. "It's a hard thing to pin down, but I hope to find it someday," she said during a recent telephone interview. Fans would say Metric has been writing near-perfect songs for years. Several are on the 2012 album "Synthetica," a layered collection of arena-ready hooks, choruses and arrangements that shows pop music need not avoid depth. "We've dedicated ourselves to finding a feeling," said the 38-year-old. "We're cursed with asking a lot of big questions." Onstage, Haines projects an aggressive persona, so it is surprising to hear she still feels "like an awkward teenager at times." Metric's musical contributions can be heard on the film "Cosmopolis," starring Robert Pattinson, who also starred in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," which featured Metric's "Eclipse (All Yours)." Haines said Pattinson "is a really good guy," but Kristen Stewart shouldn't consider her competition. "I don't know if he's a muse," Haines said.

The Corin Tucker Band
spotlight show • Writing and recording "Kill My Blues," The Corin Tucker Band's new album, was a group effort. "A lot of the time I bring in a verse and chorus that is straight-ahead rock," Tucker said. "Then the rhythm section kicks it and brings in the funk." The new album, released last month, will remind many fans of Tucker's raw and rapid-fire work with the punk-rock mainstay Sleater-Kinney. "When we went out onto the road, we found that people really wanted to dance," Tucker said. "I really like to dance, but you have to bring it" to entice the audience to do the same. And the last show where Tucker, a Portland resident, danced? A B-52's show.

spotlight show • Frankie Muniz, star of "Malcolm in the Middle," started out as a fan of this Pennsylvania-based pop-rock band. Now he's the drummer. "I'd much rather do this," said the 26-year-old Muniz, who has temporarily retired from acting and race-car driving to focus on music. Muniz and Kingsfoil share the same manager, so when the band's drummer left late last year, Muniz, who had played drums since he was 12, was asked to audition "I love being part of a group of guys all doing our thing to create [music]," said Muniz, whose thumb was ripped off during a race-car accident. Since he joined in March, the band has been opening for Third Eye Blind at college campuses around the country. Muniz hasn't been around his fiancée much and she "kind of hates me for it," he said. But Elycia Turnbow remains supportive, because "she knows it is something I really want."

spotlight show • You may not recognize the name Kimbra, but you've definitely heard her. As the female voice on Gotye's worldwide smash hit "Somebody That I Used to Know," she stole the song with her intensity. Kimbra, 22, a native New Zealander who now lives in Australia, will headline her own show at The Depot, touring to promote her 2011 album "Vows." Kimbra said she lucked into the duet when another high-profile singer backed out at the last minute. The overnight fame means her "social life is very different now." The song offered her a taste of success, and she is ready for more. Kimbra's songs vary widely between pop, soul and jazz. She is no one-trick pony she won the Critics' Choice Prize at the 2011 New Zealand Music Awards and the Best Female Artist and Best Song at the Australian Recording Industry Music Association Awards in 2011.

Wolf Gang
spotlight show • This U.K. band just finished its tour with Coldplay, and now is headlining shows with its quirky, upbeat brand of indie rock. Opening for Chris Martin and company was "really eye-opening," said the band's frontman, Max McEllington. Later this year, the Wolf Gang hopes to broaden its exposure by opening for Keane overseas. "We've been continuing to push forward," said McEllington, an alum of the London School of Economics, which also counts Mick Jagger among its famous former students. "You can never write enough songs." Although he hails from Scotland, McEllington lived in Ann Arbor, Mich., for about six months when he was young. His favorite memory of that time in America was seeing a pow-wow, something you just don't see in Scotland.

Anoer AHHHH moment for me tonight while having a cup of coffe before retiring… Nice shot!
Sheltie 'Extra Sheltie Perception (ESP)'. The beauty of the moment.
Feel warm just looking.
Shelties are the best imaginable companions, for us-and judging by this great photo for each other too. They make this house a home! Bella and Izzie look quite comfy.
Dogs form strong, loyal friendships. These two look just loverly! Home is where your sheltie us.
What a precious pair! I bet their little toes are just as cute as the rest of them. Love, love seeing shelties!!!!
And that stupid Time magazine article said there's no such thing as friendships between dogs!
Awwwww….I love this!
Just noticed what looks to be their portrait on the mantlepiece, Do you think they may be admiring THEMSELVES? :-)
Beautiful picture! I now have 3 shelties, a 6y/o, a 5y/o and now a 5 month old! It is extremely hard to get and good shots of all 3, but fun trying!
What a beautiful moment!
This is absolutely precious! A calendar shot for sure.
Awwwwww — This is the best picture ever! Two lovely and loving Shelties in front of the fireplace at the end of the day. I'd love to have these two in front of mine! Although it wouldn't be bad to have them sitting by or in my lap on the sofa.

Thanks, flamespear! I appreciate that! It's funny, I was going to copy and paste a few different faces, but decided to make them all different. I'm glad I did! And the background color is supposed to be sort of a vague sun coming though some greenery. Or something like that . . . Thanks again!

I have to say, I'm very intrigued by your mention of "icepunk".
Maybe an elemental sort of theme ... Steampunk, Icepunk, Firepunk, Dirtpunk, Scubapunk, or so on? (Or maybe I'm just sick and overstressed and tossing out random rubbish? I can't tell the difference this weekend!)
As far as pricing goes ... it'd probably depend a lot on your production costs, I suppose. :/

"The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" by Roald Dahl brings the magic of Dahl's writing to an older generation - perfect for teens. Seven superb stories, full of Roald Dahl's usual magic, mystery and suspense. Meet the boy who can talk to animals, the man who can see with his eyes closed, and find out about the treasure, buried deep underground on Thistley Green. "An unforgettable read, don't miss it". ("Sunday Times"). Roald Dahl was born in 916 in Wales of Norwegian parents. He was educated in England before starting work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. He began writing after a 'monumental bash on the head' sustained as an RAF fighter pilot during the Second World War. Roald Dahl is one of the most successful and well known of all children's writers. Roald Dahl died in 1990 at the age of seventy-four.

If you could see with your eyes closed, how would you use your power?

So can anyone tell me why the second update since the tournament doesn't have the Showdown scores in it? Just wondering, would like to see it changed because I should go up. Looks like next one isn't until October. Thanks!"When a ball dreams, it dreams it is a frisbee."

Give em a break, those guys worked hard.
Play better in your next tourney and your rating will go up even higher in the next update!!Read this ^
I did give em a break, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just asking since it has been two updates since the tourney. Thats all. Missing the first one made sense and I was just curious about the second. Its nice to see your rating do stuff since that's pretty much what you pay for with the pdga when you suck like me. I saw the previous post, it was August 30th...figured they would make the other deadline but I guess not. I know how hard they worked, I helped a little, very little, and I do know what they were up against. This is part of why I hate Facebook, email and texting...nobody gets your intent through writing. Your always seen as an ass. I will patiently wait for the next update which will probably not include more than one tourney because that one will be late too I bet. Oh well. And my ratings don't exactly skyrocket. I apologize for coming off as a prick."When a ball dreams, it dreams it is a frisbee."
I dont think you came off that way. Personally I think that part of paying to play in any sanctioned tournament that it should be the TD's duty to post saturday rounds and Sunday finals the day of. So you can look at others in your division and determine what you need to do the next day in detail and what you could have done better in retrospect. As far as finalizing it for the PDGA that should also happen ASAP to get it in to an upcoming ratings update. Hopefully the PDGA will make it easier for TD's to do this with the new improved site they are working on. It's pretty sweet to come home from a Saturday round and see the standings. At the Beaver State Fling I got daily standings in my tent at the campground. I dont hold out hope that this will happen but it's what I expect for any tournament over a C tier that I enter.
Trust me. I was barely able to stand up. However I did play a mean staggering glow round. It would have been better if my wife was there. That would have helped my standings!
Can anyone confirm if this event has shown up in their PDGA standings?www.DiscAddiction.com - Apparel, Custom Discs, and more

It's quite frustrating to have not seen these scores reflected on my overall rating.
Should I send the PDGA some sort of message? Not a threat, but the reason why I play sanctioned tournaments is to increase my rating.
Again, thanks for running the tourney.

Playing sports is one of the great joys in life. For those with disabilities, sports can be a difficult experience -- until they participate in events like the Special Olympics.
Another one of the joys in life is learning the joy of giving back to the community or a cause.
Zach Eisendrath
So it was no surprise when the University of Michigan Athletic Department team members that volunteered for Tuesday's (May 14) Special Olympics event at Saline High School returned to work Wednesday with a great attitude and big smiles on their faces.
Zach Eisendrath, assistant director of public and media relations, was the poster boy for the entire athletic department team.
When asked about the previous day's events he smiled and said, "It was awesome, it was incredible." He called these Special Olympians "real athletes" and said this is what "sports are all about."
The games are serious and competitive, and with the variations in talent, the volunteers work hard to make the games fun.
Zach, who works with the U-M football and men's tennis teams, had one young girl at bocce ball who couldn't speak. Physically he demonstrated how to throw the ball and where to throw it so she could enjoy the competition. In another bocce game, a young boy in a wheelchair knew exactly what to do. Zach played him straight up -- and lost. When Zach talked about the match, the smile grew, and his eyes lit up.
His counterparts from U-M who volunteered for the event came back to work with similar stories and feelings that matched the most beautiful day of the spring to date. The Special Olympians showed how they could overcome the roadblocks in their lives, and this U-M team came back to their offices with a positive attitude -- the type of attitude volunteerism can provide.
For Zach, the Special Olympics have a particular meaning. His little cousin has Down syndrome. Zach learned the art of volunteerism years ago, and this time he was excited to be part of giving back to his new community. It is part of his personality, and it creates the euphoric feeling that makes life rich and worthwhile. And every time he works a Special Olympics, he comes back more amazed than the last time.
It is almost impossible to oversell the Special Olympics. This is one sports event that lives up to the hype.
"I signed up for the event and then realized today's the day," said Eisendrath. "I went to the track, helped out, came back and thought wow, this was a wonderful day. I really felt like this was of one the most fulfilling days I had in quite a while."
A portion of the Special Olympics mission statement is to give "continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness and athletic skill, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community."
For the volunteers, participation in Special Olympics provides additional benefits. They have a better perspective of their own surroundings, and they just feel good.
Zach and the 80 U-M Athletic Department members didn't volunteer so they could feel better about themselves, but when they returned to work on Wednesday, the Special Olympics Spring Games helped make everyone feel a part of something bigger than oneself, and that made everyone smile.

Hey Guys,
My buddy and I are planning a trip to the midwest and after looking at ND, SD, MO, and NE, we thought Nebraska would be the place to try and do a freelance hunt. We are not looking for honey holes or anything because we really do enjoy scouting and making it happen for ourselves. My question is when would be the best time of year to come out there? Also what region of the state would be best? (access to property and hopefully low hunter population ) We would like to hunt fields or small potholes since we don't really want to bring a boat.
Thanks for any input.

Green Bay Meets South Dakota for the First Time Saturday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - On Wednesday night, the Phoenix spoiled Marquette's first visit to the Resch Center with a gritty 49-47 win over the Golden Eagles. On Saturday, Green Bay welcomes another program to the Resch Center for the first time as South Dakota visits for the first all-time meeting between the two programs. The contest will tip at 7 p.m. as the Phoenix aims to spoil the Coyotes' visit and build momentum heading into Horizon League play starting on Jan. 3 at Wright State.
Scoring 20 points with five assists and zero turnovers, sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) continued his incredible play, but it was the Green Bay stifling zone defense that proved the difference against Marquette. The Phoenix held the Golden Eagles to just 16 points and 27.3 percent shooting after halftime.
Sykes, who ranks second in the Horizon League averaging 16.7 points per game, was named to the Bob Cousy Award Watch List this week as one of the nation's top point guards.
Saturday's meeting with South Dakota will pit two of the nation's top free-throw shooting teams. South Dakota enters shooting 79.3 percent from the charity stripe to rank third in the country while the Phoenix rank 20th at 75.9 percent.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans in the seats or those unable to attend Saturday's will be able to follow the action in numerous ways on Saturday night. The game will be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call with Cordero Barkley. Live stats and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. HOME SWEET HOME: Green Bay is 3-1 at home this season after the victory over Marquette. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, the Phoenix is 25-7 at the Resch Center, including a 15-3 mark since the start of the 2011-12 season. With 20 or more points in all four games, Sykes is averaging 23.5 points per game and is 41-of-49 from the free-throw line at home this season.
2. END OF A GREAT YEAR: Tonight is the last game for Sykes as an 18-year old, a year in which his on-court performance was beyond his years. In 28 games since his last birthday, Sykes is averaging 15.5 points per game and has reached double figures an astonishing 25 times. The Chicagoan reached 500 career points Wednesday and has 519 in his career, including 434 as an 18-year old. Sykes turns 19 on Dec. 30, when the Phoenix hosts Illinois-Springfield at 6 p.m. VIDEO: GreenBayPhoenix.com highlights the top-18 moments for Sykes as an 18-year old
3. MAYS DAYS: Sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) has started the past two games and is taking advantage of his opportunity. Mays had a season-high 11 points Wednesday and is 8-of-12 from the field with averages of 9.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in the past two games.
• INSIDE THE MATCHUP: Saturday will mark the first meeting between Green Bay and South Dakota, but the two programs do have a connection. Phoenix assistant coach Jimmie Foster played two seasons at South Dakota and graduated from USD in 2002. Not only do the two teams shoot free throws exceptionally well, but both get to the line with regularity. South Dakota makes an average of 17.7 points per game while Green Bay is making an average of 17.5 free throw a contest. Both teams enter after a win on Wednesday, with South Dakota downing Morehead State 85-75.
• IN GOOD COMPANY: On Friday, Sykes was added to the Bob Cousy Award Watch List as one of the nation's top point guards. The honor named after Hall of Famer Bob Cousy is handed out at the Final Four to the player named the top point guard in the country.
• HISTORIC WIN: Not only was Green Bay's 49-47 win over Marquette historic because it was the first time the Golden Eagles had visited Green Bay in 12 all-time meetings, but it was also the first Phoenix victory in the series since Jan. 7, 1995 (50-48). Green Bay improved to 3-9 all-time in the series and, of course, 1-0 at home.
• STIFLING DEFENSE: Green Bay played almost exclusively zone defense in Wednesday's win over Marquette, and the scrappy Phoenix stifled the Golden Eagles throughout the night, especially in the second 20 minutes. In the second half, Marquette scored just 16 points and made 6-of-22 field goals. The 47 points scored were the fewest by a Phoenix opponent since holding Loyola to 47 points on Dec. 3, 2011. Green Bay's 49 points scored were the fewest scored in a Phoenix win since beating Detroit 45-42 on Jan. 30, 2006.
• HOME FREE: Led by perfection from junior Kam Cerroni (21-21), the charity stripe has been kind to the Phoenix this season as the team is 16th nationally in free throw percentage. Green Bay has been especially efficient at the line at the Resch Center, shooting 79.3 percent (96-121) from the line and making more than twice as many free throws as its opponents (96-47). Cerroni is a perfect 12-of-12 from the stripe while Sykes has connected on 50-for-62 from the line at the Resch Center.
• FAST START FOR THE FROSH: Wardle started a true freshman in the opener for the third-straight season, and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has made it look like a great decision through 11 games. The 6-foot-7 Fouse is averaging 4.8 points per game and leads the team in rebounds (74), steals (13) and blocks (11). He has led the team in rebounding in six times.
