Information about University of Rhode Island international students, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and University of Rhode Island student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of Rhode Island.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond consideration for University of Rhode Island international students, you may think about Barstow Community College exams for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Years ago I used to watch a show called Surprise Chef. In each episode Aristos the chef would surprise someone in the supermarket and offer to make dinner using the things in their shopping cart. I was always impressed at how he easily he'd transform the oddest combinations into an amazing 3 course dinner. If Aristos the chef came across my shopping trolley and found the following ingredients I wonder what he'd make? How about Carrots glazed in cinnamon and honey served with Smiley Ketchup? Dessert would be Strawberry icecream Served with wedges of refreshing watermelon. Followed by a nice cup of Blue Daisy tea. Yum!! *** While I've sewed these clamshells we've had all sorts of weather. I think you can tell this one was stiched on a hot summers day. It was always lovely when there was a breeze in the evenings and we could enjoy watching the bunting dance. Then there were extra windy days, perfect for flying k
It's time for more clam shells!! A happy cat for Tonya. Here's a cute kitty dancing in the rain. From the same fabric, here's a rabbit with a shoe on her head! How surreal!! I wonder if it's from a fairytale? Hello little bunny, How does your garden grow? I must like rabbits because here's another one. And a fluffy tail bunny hopping over a seam. There's only one little dog, but he's a sweetie. Curious George came to play in the clam shells He's always up to something!! Do you think this little girl looks a bit too green? This one is happy because she's got daisies in her hair. Another smiling face. And something unexpected. Little friends in stripey socks. and some with bunches of balloons. Lets finish up with some merry dancing!! I hope you're not getting tired of seeing these clam shells yet. I've still some fun flowery ones to sho
Remember a little while ago I showed photos of a squares quilt I was working on? Well... I guess I didn't mention the sqaures were only one side of the quilt. Okay, How about I start at the beginning... Ages and ages ago I had the idea of making a coverlet of circles. Lots and lots of two sided circles stitched together, some overlapping and some barely touching except for a few stitches. I could picture this bubbly coverlet hanging over the foot of a bed, or being a double sided curtain for a glass door. It was one of those ideas that didn't really work very well, and after sewing a few circles together I packed them away and promptly moved onto the next project. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I got my order of Sis Boom's Beauty Queen fabrics. I was admiring the pretty stack when I remembered my bubble circles and decided it was about time I brushed the dust off and used them in a quilt. So I cut some Beauty Queen into squares,

The Downtown Baltimore Family Alliance has been working to be the collective voice and advocate for city families since 2008. But like many grassroots organizations, they had hit a membership plataeu at about 500 active downtown families. Today, DBFA President Judy O'Brien announced their plans to fix that:
Membership to DBFA is now FREE. All it requires is an email address — and a desire to be kept informed about DBFA's ongoing efforts to improve downtown living for all families.
The ultimate goal of DBFA is to take on the challenge of making Baltimore a place where families choose to raise their children. "Whether it's connecting new downtown families with each other, sponsoring and promoting local family-friendly events, or advocating for better schools, safer neighborhoods, and more green spaces, DBFA has always focused on improving city life for downtown families," writes O'Brien in a recent letter to DBFA families.
They've done quite a bit with their current membership: the construction of Pierce's Park and the increasing number of families electing to utilize their neighborhood schools are just two important achievements.
Imagine what this fantastic local organization can do with 5,000 families behind them? And now, with no membership fee, there is nothing stopping you from being one of those supporters.
In addition to keeping abreast of city policies that affect you and your growing family, your DBFA membership entitles you to:
- Free admission to DBFA events.
- Invitations to DBFA's free Members Only Skating and Pool Parties.
- Special discounts on memberships and admissions to local cultural organizations, businesses, and service providers in downtown Baltimore.* (These membership discounts are only available to current members until January 1, 2013 — when they will be open to all new members, too! This allows DBFA partners to scale accordingly).
- The chance to support a growing network of families and help downtown Baltimore communities thrive.
So swing by DBFA's site and become a member today!

"My goal is to establish myself, keep getting better at the things I have to improve and catch the eye of the national team, which is something very important to my career," Corona told reporters in Monterrey's international airport on arrival for his Christmas break.
The 20-year-old has featured in just seven Eredivisie games this season for Twente, which sits third but made a debut start in the team's last match of the year against RKC Waalwijk.
"I've not played much, but I ended up playing a little more at the end," the former Monterrey player said. "I think it is a process that the club is going through with me, and it has been respected."
Corona is well aware he'll need more minutes to get into El Tri ahead of Brazil 2014, with plenty of competition for the forward places.
"It is difficult to compete in the national team how it is today," he said. "Carlos Vela, Chicharito, Oribe Peralta … It is a very mature team that has a set objective. I'll have to work to be able to earn a call-up."
Corona is set to return to Holland early in the New Year ahead of the Twente's first game of 2014 against Heracles on January 17.

NASA: Water on Mercury Confirmed
December 1st, 2012
in econ_news, syndication
Econintersect: Mercury (example of surface shown in picture) is the closest planet to the sun and has surface temperatures as high as 8000F (7000K, 4300C). That might seem like an unlikely environment to find water or ice. However, the axis declination and the planetary rotation are such that some surface regions near the poles receive little or no sunlight at any time. Surface temperature measurements of the Mercury night have found readings as low as 1oo0K (-1730C, -3400F), certainly cold enough to hold onto ice with limited sublimation. New data from the NASA MESSENGER spacecraft has now provided quite convincing data that water in significant amounts does exist on this "hot" planet.
Follow up:
According to Wikipedia, shiny areas found at the bottom of polar craters that would be permanently shielded from the very low angle polar sun have been thought to possibly be ice since the 1970s. New data from NASA appears to confirm this hypothesis. One of the papers published by NASA scientists in the latest Science has determined that the amount of ice at the poles of Mercury is between 2 × 1016 to 1018 g. That is between 20 billion and 2 trillion tons. The scientists say that this amount is consistent with what could have been delivered by "comets or volatile-rich asteroids." NASA terms the amount "abundant."
The composition of the water bearing material varies with depth. At the surface data measures hydrogen concentrations consistent with a material containing less than 25% water. But at depths only 10 to 20 cm (4-8 inches) the material is almost pure water. These ice reservoirs are quite shallow by earthly standards, estimated to be 10's of cm thick. If 100 cm thick (1 meter) the "frozen lake" would be a little over 3 feet deep.
But the latest data also raises some new questions. From the NASA website:
"But the new observations have also raised new questions," adds Solomon. "Do the dark materials in the polar deposits consist mostly of organic compounds? What kind of chemical reactions has that material experienced? Are there any regions on or within Mercury that might have both liquid water and organic compounds? Only with the continued exploration of Mercury can we hope to make progress on these new questions."

Really good southern hole in the wall in Central Square. Mainly fried foods, with some caribbean touches (also fried). They put their heart into it and it shows.
Mainly a local take out place, only 3 seats at a counter. Consistently good southern food made from scratch. I even had the sweet potato pie and liked it, and I hate the very idea of sweet potato pie.
Very inexpensive, as one might guess.

I know I have already made one before this challenge came about......still have to take a pic of it to show you........but there is no reason why I can't make another. This time I am going to make it a backpack style with a top loop and long straps to go over my arms with a draw string closure and flap that will buckle. I could use a backpack to carry my things to and from work. I walk to work when I can and even tho I have a black leather briefcase with a shoulder strap and is becoming really heavy lately, I think this will be more sporty looking. And then adorn it with my tatting bits. Actually I think I will use the motifs and edgings from other tatters that I have received in exchanges when I used to do a lot of that. No sense in letting them sit idle in a folder and never see daylight! This way they can be shown :)
Thanks Sharon for providing this challenge.

I was recently asked to shoot editorial portraits of Al Butler, the chief information officer at McHenry County College, for SYNC Magazine. The portraits were for an article highlighting the CIO and his work on the college's ERP system.
I envisioned portraits with an edgy look and a little drama instead of run-of-the-mill business portraits (not that there's anything wrong with corporate or business headshots). Since Al is a tech guy, we shot in the college's server room, a Mac classroom, and a few other locations to match the content of the article.
You can see which photo the photo editor at SYNC Magazine chose, and here are some of the other options I shot which he didn't. We made some very cool portraits that Al and I were very happy with.
Interested in your own creative headshots for professional uses? Get in touch with me!

The Sacramento Choral Calendar
Concert Review
Sacramento Children's Chorus
Après le Noël: Gloria! - January 31, 2016
by Nancy Bramlett
It was a brisk and blustery Sunday evening at St. John's Lutheran Church in Sacramento. The Sacramento Children's Chorus brilliantly performed their "Après le Noël" (translation "After Christmas") concert. What a fabulous idea! We are treated to so much music right before Christmas and then are obliged to wait months before most choirs are ready for the next round of concerts. I love having this opportunity in the "dead of winter."
The Sacramento Children's Chorus is actually made up of 6 Choruses, two of which performed this evening: Music Makers (1st and 2nd grades); Cantate (2nd – 5th); Cantabile (3rd – 6th); Cantus (5th – 9th); Cantoris (7th-10th) and Cappella (10th – College).
When I went to "Will Call" to pick up my ticket, I thought I saw Don Kendrick. Then I thought, no you are just being silly, why would such a premier choral conductor come to a children's concert? Even a superb one? The program cleared that question up: SCC was founded by Lynn Stevens and Donald Kendrick 18 years ago. What a smart move, helping to create masterful young singers that can fill the ranks of the SCSO as they grow in age and musical maturity.
Lynn Stevens, artistic director, conductor and co-founder of the Sacramento Children's Chorus, has more than thirty years' experience in teaching choral music to children. Ms. Stevens received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Southern California, and a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from California State University, Sacramento. It was during her master's program that Ms. Stevens co-founded the Sacramento Children's Chorus with Dr. Donald Kendrick.
Under Stevens' tutelage, the choirs have flourished. The technique has been impeccable: blend, balance, pitch, rhythm, diction, articulation, cutoffs, entrances, dynamics, expression — and all of it memorized!
St. John's Lutheran Church added to the evening with wonderful acoustics, beautiful stained glass windows and an elegant interior. By the look of the organ, it must sound wonderful, as well.
The evening's fare was in four sections: Cappella (HS+college) began, then Cantoris (7th – 10th) finished the first half. El Camino High School then sparkled in their guest appearance, the ECHS joined with Cappella for selections from Vivaldi's Gloria, finishing off the evening with everyone singing "And This Shall Be for Music" (text from Robert Louis Stevenson).
Please click here to open the program in a new window.
Cappella made a grand entrance processing in to "Wintertime Cheer" with excellent bass tones, then delighted the heart with the "Shivering Chorus" accompanied by the harpsichord. The staccato was particularly impressive.
Stevens read lines of poetry before the next piece: "What Sweeter Music," with soloist Carly Adamson and sweet harmonies combined. "Sing Me to Winter" was wonderfully jazzy and featured soloists Riley Beck and Brooke Leonard. The combination of warm and cool harmonies was perfectly blended and balanced, and the use of solo and duet was very effective.
The last in this set was a spiritual that set our hands clapping, "Oh, What a Beautiful City."
Cantoris (7-10th) then followed with Kyrie from "Missa Brevis," with more perfect blend, pitch and diction and a mix of simple and layered harmonies, followed by "Magical Kingdom" by John Rutter, with magical words of dreams and wishes and make-believe. "Kalanta of the New Year" (a Greek Folk Song) finished out the set with impressive Greek lyrics and fun cheers from within the choir.
After the brief intermission, the El Camino Madrigal Choir performed. Their director, David Vanderbout, received his Bachelor's at CSU Sacramento. They began with Schubert's "Lebenslust," a light, fun dance of a song (I hope Schubert won't deride me, but I could see the ballet before my eyes). "Mon Coeur Se Recommande à Vous" sounded hymn-like, though its subject was human love, not divine. "The Seal Lullaby" was exquisite in music, story and execution. I wanted to close my eyes and soak it in. Ending their set was "Rock-a my Soul," complete with foot-tapping fun and a couple of enthusiastic solos. The audience loved it!
The last section of the evening included Cappella and ECHS Choir combined, singing excerpts from Vivaldi's Gloria with an accomplished chamber orchestra. Their performance was better than many adult choirs I have heard. The Gloria itself was magnificent. It was also an opportunity for soloists to shine: Tori Davis, Carly Adamson, Isabela Jackson, Madison Montgomery, Gabby Casentini, Erica Leiserowitz, and Destiny Elazier. The "Quoniam tu solus sanctus" was way too short. I wanted to soak in the glory.
There was a short break encouraging donations to keep these wonderful opportunities going. And then all of the singers came together to sing the beautiful and shimmering "And This Shall Be for Music."
And this
shall be for music when no one else is near,
Don't forget their upcoming performance: Carmina Burana with the SCSO on March 5, and lend your support to their tour of Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
A special thanks to the accompanists Kamilyn Davis and David Saul Lee, and the instrumentalists who added beauty, depth and thrill to an already accomplished group of singers.

He was referring to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows "unlimited contributions to third-party groups that don't have to disclose their donors."
"The dynamic is fed, Carter said, by an income tax code that exacerbates the gap between the wealthiest Americans and the rest of the electorate, allowing the rich even greater influence over public discourse and electioneering.
"He added that he hopes the 'Supreme Court will reverse that stupid ruling.'"
Had Obama quoted Carter and Gordon Gekko during the debate, the media might have given him credit for two "zingers," memorable moments that would be remembered long after the election is over.
There is a "bad moon rising" when the President who burst onto the political scene through his inspiring oratory, missed too many opportunities to "zing" a former Bain corporate executive who still keeps a portion of his fortune in off-shore investments.

L'influence des variables psychosociales sur la décision de communication volontaire : cas des dirigeants tunisiens
Disclosure decisions are made based on managerial choice (Williams, 2008). But the question of their motives remains always posed. This research proposes to be centred on the behaviors of the managers explaining the voluntary disclosure of information. Taking root in the conceptual model of the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991), the developed model proposes 3 variables namely: the attitude, the subjective norm as well as the perceived behavioral control. Based on an investigation with the managers of 39 listed Tunisian firms (rate of answer of 70.9%), the results show that the attitude of the manager toward the communication on the future strategy of the company, its earnings forecasts and the reasons of the decrease of its dividends significantly predicts its intention to disclose this information. On the other hand, neither the subjective norm and nor its perception of control influence its decision to disclose.

I've been a fan of Tom Sizemore for years; True Romance, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Heat, Striking Distance, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man and Passenger 57 are just a few films on his resume.
Next up is a movie called An Honest Thief. Check out the official Press Release for the movie below.
Tom Sizemore was born and raised in Detroit. He left his hometown to pursue an acting career in Hollywood.
He realized that dream with star turns in the films Heat, Saving Private Ryan, and Black Hawk Down, among others. He now co-stars on the Sundance Channel's The Red Road.
Although Tom lives in Los Angeles, in his heart Detroit remains his home. Much like his hometown, Tom has endured his share of hard times. All of these difficulties are well chronicled. It's almost as if Tom and his hometown are umbilically linked. They've both made mistakes. They've both been kicked at, picked apart, and even given up on. However, they have both endured. A bit of Detroit's grit must be in Tom Sizemore's DNA. It therefore makes sense that Tom hopes to produce his first feature film in Detroit. That film effort – entitled An Honest Thief — embodies the most compelling aspects of family, roots, and perseverance.
Tom's younger brother, Aaron, remained in Detroit and wrote An Honest Thief. The two brothers often talked about collaborating on a film. So, Aaron started working on a screenplay. Many rewrites later, he felt he had written something worthy of production. When Aaron presented his screenplay to his brother, Tom knew that this was his chance at a meaningful homecoming.
"Aaron and I both love Detroit," Tom says. "We can do something special with An Honest Thief. My brother set the story in our hometown. It makes perfect sense to film it in Detroit."
"I thought I could write something that Tom and I could proudly put our names on," Aaron says. "We also want to do our part to help the city that we love and call home."
With Tom Sizemore, Danny Trejo, Malik Barnhardt, David Proval, and Sally Kellerman, the film has an impressive cast. However, the film still needs financing. To that end, the Sizemore brothers will launch a campaign on Indiegogo, an internet site devoted to crowd funding, launching on Monday September 15th. If successful, roughly 80% of the money raised will be invested in Detroit. Those that give to the campaign will also receive unique perks that range from, coffee mugs and T-shirts that say "I Helped An Honest Thief", to producer credits, private screenings, roles as an extra, behind-the-scene set visits, Executive Producer credits, Lunch with cast members and much more.
"We'll make this movie not just in Detroit but with Detroit," Tom says. "All of the great people who still live in Detroit and kept the light on so I could come home again."

The results were shocking to me. I also learned corn syrup is banned in a lot of other countries. I have been noticing a lot of products are voluntarily removing corn syrup. I just splurged and had a bottle of Nestle Quik chocolate milk, and noticed it, too, has removed the corn syrup and is back to sugar. Since I was so shocked by that report, I, personally, think its a good thing.

What about Kevin? It's the question Celtics coach
Garnett's injury looms as the largest of the obstacles that have popped up on Boston's path to defending the NBA crown. There was the matchup with Chicago, one of the league's hottest teams, which surged into the playoffs with a 12-4 regular-season finish. There was the torn left ACL in Game 2 that ended power forward
Okay, so what about Kevin? If Celtics players stumble when they attempt to answer questions about life without Garnett, it's because despite the injury, he's still very much around. Aside from his conspicuous absence from the bench during the second half of Game 1 -- he was so frustrated at being unable to play that he went to the locker room to watch the game on TV -- Garnett has been a constant presence. "I call him Coach Kevin," says Rivers. "He's always talking to the guys, offering advice." Indeed, at halftime of Game 3, Rivers, after briefly huddling with his staff in a room adjacent to Boston's locker room, went in to address the team and found that Garnett had beaten him to it. "He was standing up there with the video pointer," says Rivers. "I love it. If you don't listen to Kevin, there is something wrong with you."
The player benefiting the most from Garnett's influence is
But Garnett may also be Davis's strongest supporter. Just before each opening tip in the playoffs, Garnett spends about 30 seconds jabbering in Davis's ear, his face so close that his nose threatens to puncture Davis's eardrum. "Kevin and Glen, they have a different relationship," says Pierce. "Glen looks to Kevin for advice. Part of why he has improved so much is because Kevin is talking to him all the time." In Game 1 Bulls point guard
Still, there is only so much help Garnett can provide in a well-tailored suit. Without his presence in the low post, the Celtics' offense is dependent on the perimeter shooting of Pierce and Allen and on Rondo's ability to create off penetration. Rondo has had a superior first round, averaging a triple double (23.3 points, 10.0 assists and a startling 10.8 rebounds) through four games. But Pierce and Allen have been inconsistent. In the first two games Pierce shot 40%, and he missed a likely game-winning free throw in Game 1. Allen's electric 30-point performance in Game 2 balanced his four points and 1-for-12 shooting in the opener. This unevenness shows why Boston's championship prospects cloud significantly without Garnett. "Kevin is our run stopper," says Rivers. "With him there we had the option of throwing it in the post and letting him swing it around, or take it himself and score. We could control the pace. Without him we have trouble controlling it."
He's missed on defense as well. In games played with Garnett in the regular season, the Celtics gave up 90.8 points per game; without him that number ballooned to 99.4. This is because Garnett is a master at seeing where a play is going and positioning his teammates accordingly. Also, he just plain scares people. "There are a lot of [soft players] in this league," says an Eastern Conference coach. "And Garnett intimidates every one of them."
One can only imagine how that intimidation would have affected the Bulls, who have three starters under age 25. An hour before the opening tip in Game 1,
"Hey, man," he said, to no one in particular, "how long is the media in here?"
"Calm down," said
After making a quick lap around the room, Noah made a beeline for the locker room door, going to the court.
"A lot of young fellas here," said reserve guard Lindsey Hunter, who entered the series with 141 games of playoff experience to Noah's none. "Lot of pent-up energy."
But when Chicago took the floor, that energy suddenly looked like a good thing. In Game 1 Rose outdueled Rondo as the Bulls pulled out a 105-103 overtime win. Chicago showed similar scrap in Game 2, falling just short in an epic duel between
The Bulls have indeed come a long way this season. Chicago spent the first half toward the bottom of the standings while rookie coach
They built the attack around Rose, the No. 1 pick in last year's draft. Besides being a proven winner, having led his Illinois high school team to back-to-back state titles and Memphis to within a free throw of an NCAA championship, he proved early on that he was capable of being the Bulls' focal point. Rose's penetrating skills -- his speed and power resemble those of a running back -- created opportunities for hyperactive big men Thomas and Noah and opened up the floor for Gordon's outside shooting. The midseason acquisition from the Kings of veterans
Sunday's win only emboldened Chicago's brash center. As he reclined in a chair in front of his locker after the game, Noah wondered aloud why it was Boston's adversity that everyone was focused on. "People underestimate how much we have gone through," said Noah. "[In January] our [owner] called our season a disaster. We lost six in a row and were booed at home. Three months ago if you asked anyone in Chicago if we would be 2-2 with Boston in the playoffs, I don't think anyone would have told you that could happen." A few doors down the hallway a shell-shocked Celtics team struggled to come up with answers. One thing they do know: If they ultimately win the series, their difficulty in getting past Chicago will serve as a reminder of the hard road ahead. And it will all but guarantee that they'll keep hearing questions about Kevin.

"The suffering of the civilians of Madaya is terrible but it is the armed men who have infiltrated their town who bear the first responsibility for their plight. No government in the world could allow a situation to continue in which a terrorist group is holding a civilian population hostage. This is the reality of Madaya. Knowing the essential facts there is surely no Australian watching your 'Australian Story' who could regard a group like Ahrar al Sham with anything other than abhorrence yet in your report on Madaya this group is not even mentioned. Neither is there any attempt to question Mr Nanaa about his dealings with this group and possibly his affinity with its ideology. It is certain that he could not have operated in Madaya without its support and without at least appearing to support its aims, The outcome is a report that is superficially heart-warming but is by no means the true story of what lies behind the 'siege' of Madaya."
Susan Dirgham is convener of Australians for Reconciliation in Syria (AMRIS) and Jeremy Salt is a scholar of Media propaganda and the Middle East. In Part One, they discuss the history of western interventions in the Middle East and the most recent in Syria. Then, on western mass media, Susan raises the question of why we don't hear about how Syria is a secular country, with women's rights and where women were granted the vote in 1949. Below is a mixture of description, summary and transcript. If you want to cite exactly, then you would need to listen to the video.
Video and transcript inside. Second in series. First one, on Bashar al-Assad, is here. The third one is here. Australian cartoonist, Bruce Petty, & Dr Jeremy Salt, Middle East scholar and former journalist discuss news reporting on the Middle-East: Do we live with false assumptions? Bruce Petty and Dr Salt knew each other when they both worked for Australian newspapers and Bruce asks Jeremy for his recollections about mistakes in reporting on the Middle East. Jeremy Salt is the author of The Unmaking of the Middle East. A History of Western Disorder in Arab Lands, (University of California Press, 2008). Until recently, Dr Salt was based in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, where he ran courses in the history of the modern Middle East, in politics and in politics, propaganda and the media.
Bruce Petty is a highly regarded political satirist and cartoonist as well as an award-winning film maker. He went to Syria in 2009 (before the war) on a project to interview Syrian intellectuals and university students about their political views.

The story behind this series: On 16 November 2015 a small group of concerned Australian citizens got together to talk about the problems of getting real information out to Australians and other US-NATO allies about war in Syria, in spite of mainstream press efforts to confuse the public. Bruce Petty and Jeremy Salt were part of that group. Inside is the transcript of the embedded video.

Bill Doggett: Honky Tonk Popcorn (1969)...plus(2012/ACE) 18 tracks (51:13)
James Brown has never really been portrayed as a sympathetic man, but for a short period in the late 60s he was suddenly taken by a sense of duty to artists who had been fixtures at King Records when he was first signed there over a decade earlier. First up was his tribute album "Thinking About Little Willie John And A Few Nice Things", which mixed originals with versions of songs John had first sung. Next he began working with Hank Ballard, who had been signed to King since 1953; the collaboration produced the LP "You Can't Keep A Good Man Down". He then produced a couple of sides with organist Bill Doggett, who'd reached #1 R&B/#2 Pop with his 1956 instrumental 'Honky Tonk'.
A hit of that size meant that Doggett was never short of gigs, and in its aftermath he reached the R&B Top 20 five more times. In 1960 he left King, signing to Warner Brothers, then with Columbia in 1962 and Sue Records in 1964. In the meantime, King kept up a steady release schedule of Doggett records and he re-signed with them in 1965, staying for two years. 1969 saw him back again at King for another couple of years.
Doggett's recordings from this period took two distinct paths: some were almost cheesy easy listening sides, while others suggested he was keeping up with modern trends. The most obvious manifestation of this was his collaboration with James Brown and his JBs, who were incredibly tight on the top-side of the super-rhythmic 'Honky Tonk Popcorn'. The popcorn was Brown's dance rhythm of the year: he had made #1 R&B with 'Mother Popcorn', #2 with 'Let A Man Come In And Do The Popcorn'. The B-side of the single was Doggett's funk update of 'Honky Tonk', which worked even better than Brown's own 1972 remake.
King then gathered up a bunch of recent Doggett recordings to make the "Honky Tonk Popcorn" album. It was marketed as a James Brown production but, other than the two single sides, it contained no cuts produced by Brown. Instead it featured a fascinating mix of grooves that evoke smoky clubs and juke joints. 'Mad' and a scorching version of Edwin Starr's 'Twenty Five Miles' were released as singles.
For this reissue we've turned up five bonus tracks. Of these, 'Before Lunch', 'Short Stack' and 'Some Kind Of Head' were lined up for inclusion on an album to be called "Take Your Shot", but we're pretty sure this did not make it past the planning stage and was replaced by "Honky Tonk Popcorn", with these three dropped to make room for the two James Brown-produced cuts and 'Twenty Five Miles'. 'Before Lunch' sounds like the finest record Booker T & the MGs forgot to make, while 'Short Stack' ups the pace to frantic. Best of all is the brilliant 'Some Kind Of Head', which takes the feel of a Stax instrumental.
The other bonus tracks, 'Sassy B' and 'Wet And Satisfied', offer a fascinating insight into the history of Funkadelic. In the time between recording Funkadelic's first two albums guitarist Eddie Hazel and bass-player Billy Nelson left the group. Nelson joined Doggett's band for a short time. Until now Eddie Hazel's participation on a Doggett session was unknown. However, the songwriting credits and the guitar style suggest that he too was working alongside Nelson and Doggett.
The 'Honky Tonk Popcorn' single and album did not return Doggett to the charts, but he remained active. He kept recording and toured until the year he died. He tended to revert to the style which made him famous: the 50s boogie shuffle that had been the basis of his defining hit. When he died on 13 November 1996 his short sojourn into funk was largely forgotten except by a few clubbers around the world who coveted this in-demand LP.

Artist description "Doggett, Bill"
Bill Doggett
Bill Doggett, born in Philadelphia, became a pianist in Jimmy Gorham's Band in 1935, and the band's leader in 1938. He soon relinquished the position to Lucky Millinder, though remaining with the band until 1949 when he suc-ceeded Bill Davis in Louis Jordan's Tympani 5.
In 1952 he began fronting his own combo, recording prolifically for King over some nine years, the peak of which came in 1956 with 'Honky Took', a jogging instrumental featuring Clifford Scott's sax and Billy Butler's deft guitar. A succession of smaller hits followed before Doggett moved to Warner in 1961. He has subsequently recorded for Columbia, Sue, ABC and Roulette.

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Intraspecific Variation and Thermotolerance Classification Using in Vitro Seed Germination Assay
Cardinal temperatures for plant processes have been used for thermotolerance screening of genotypes, geoclimatic adaptability determination and phenological prediction. Current simulation models for switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) utilize single cardinal temperatures across genotypes for both vegetative and reproductive processes although in-tra-specific variation exists among genotypes. An experiment was conducted to estimate the cardinal temperatures for seed germination of 14 diverse switchgrass genotypes and to classify genotypes for temperature tolerance. Stratified seeds of each genotype were germinated at eight constant temperatures from 10 °C to 45 °C under a constant light intensity of 35 μmol m -2s -1 for 12 hd -1. Germination was recorded at 6-h intervals in all treatments. Maximum seed germination (MSG) and germination rate (GR), estimated by fitting Sigmoidal function to germination-time series data, varied among genotypes. Quadratic and bilinear models best described the MSG and GR responses to temperature, respectively. The mean cardinal temperatures, T min, T opt, and T max, were 8.1, 26.6, and 45.1 °C for MSG and 11.1, 33.1, and 46.0 °C for GR, respectively. Cardinal temperatures for MSG and GR; however, varied significantly among genotypes. Genotypes were classified as sensitive (Cave-in-Rock, Dacotah, Expresso, Forestburg, Kanlow, Sunburst, Trailblazer, and Tusca), intermediate (Alamo, Blackwell,more »

Week 10 Waiver Wire: Last Week's Stars You Shouldn't Pick UpNovember 6, 2012
Week 10 Waiver Wire: Last Week's Stars You Shouldn't Pick Up
Every week an unexpected player will have a statement game in the NFL and it's our jobs as fantasy owners to weed through the diamonds in the rough.
Week 9 was no different as some under-the-radar players broke out to post some solid stat lines. However, as the old cliche goes: buyer beware.
The following 10 players could be fool's gold. So, you should proceed with caution before picking up the subsequent players.
James Starks, Green Bay Packers
It looks like Alex Green is falling out of favor in Green Bay and James Starks might be the latest running back to fill in for Cedric Benson.
Starks ran for a respectable 61 yards on 17 carries in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. However, this looks like an ugly timeshare written all over it.
Between the fact that the Packers are obviously a passing team and Starks will be splitting carries with Green (after all Green still did have 11 carries himself), Starks should be avoided if possible.
Justin Blackmon, Jacksonville Jaguars
After entering the league amidst much hype, Blackmon has struggled to find a groove in the inconsistent Jaguars offense. Blackmon finally found the end zone in Week 9 and was heavily targeted (nine targets on the afternoon) in the Jags' passing game.
Considering that Blackmon is part of a mediocre offense with a quarterback in Blaine Gabbert, who is still maddeningly inconsistent, Blackmon may have too many erratic performances going forward.
While no one can question his skills and athleticism, it may just take a while for Blackmon to fully develop.
T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts
With Luck quickly maturing into an elite-level quarterback, he'll be getting all his weapons involved soon enough.
Although Hilton was phenomenal on Sunday, hauling in six receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown, more often than not Luck will look to veterans like Reggie Wayne and Donnie Avery to get him through the season.
Hilton is a great keeper/dynasty league pick up, but he'll continue to have his ups and downs this season.
Michael Floyd, Arizona Cardinals
Coming into the draft, Floyd was considered one of the more dynamic receivers on the board.
However, this year, he'll have to endure some growing pains as Floyd is on a team that is not conducive for him to excel. The Cardinals are a mess up front, as their offensive line is a disaster. The line hardly gives John Skelton (or Kevin Kolb before him) any time to connect on their reads.
Although he did well on Sunday (five receptions for 80 yards), Floyd is still behind Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Roberts on the depth chart and he'll continue to be overshadowed this season.
Tom Crabtree, Green Bay Packers
With Jermichael Finley struggling mightily, Crabtree is starting to get more involved in the Packers' offense.
But let's call a spade a spade here: Crabtree is a glorified backup. True, Crabtree did make a nice 72-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but between Aaron Rodgers' other weapons (Jordy Nelson, James, Jones, Randall Cobb and eventually Greg Jennings) and Finley still being the No. 1 tight end, Crabtree will be too risky to take a flier on.
Marcel Reece, Oakland Raiders
Now that the Raiders could be without Darren McFadden for a while with a high-ankle sprain, they could call on Reece to make some plays.
Reece looked great in the passing game on Sunday when he made eight catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. Technically, Reece is a running back, but he has had only one carry all year and is more of an H-back specialist, who is used in passing downs.
Mike Goodson will likely receive the bulk of the carries if McFadden is out for an extended period of time.
Reece will be good for a few catches here and there, but don't expect performances like last Sunday's to be the norm.
Kevin Ogletree, Dallas Cowboys
We've been here before.
After bursting onto the scene in Week 1 when he burned the Giants' secondary for 114 yards and two touchdowns, Ogletree was picked up by many giddy fantasy owners hoping they uncovered some early-season gem. After that game, though, Ogletree became pretty much nonexistent.
That was until last Sunday when Ogletree reappeared to make in impact, when he hauled in three receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons.
But after eight games, Tony Romo knows who he trusts and Ogletree is still behind Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten in the pecking order to make much of a difference.
Don't be fooled again.
Rod Streater, Oakland Raiders
No one can deny the speed Streater possesses, but he still has a lot of room for growth and he should continue to produce inconsistent stats.
Sure, Streater looked good on Sunday, recording four receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown but Streater has had only two double-digit fantasy performances all year (his other was in Week 1 against the Chargers).
Although he was heavily targeted (10 targets) on Sunday, Streater still has to contend for catches with the likes of Denarius Moore, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Derek Hagan, Jacoby Ford and Brandon Myers.
Chris Ivory, New Orleans Saints
Ivory has been good in spurts before and he looked the part on Monday night when he ran for 48 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.
Consider, though, that we're talking about a very crowded backfield in New Orleans. Sure, Darren Sproles will be out a few weeks, but the Saints will still also give carries to Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram going forward.
Ivory may be a decent play for a week or two, but when Sproles returns his value will plummet. Unless you are in desperate need of a running back, Ivory will be just a flash in the pan.
Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis Colts
Coby Fleener's pain is Allen's gain.
With Fleener suffering from a shoulder injury, Allen will step up as the No. 1 tight end option in Indianapolis for the time being.
Just like Hilton, Allen is yet another rookie who'll have his ups and downs while Luck looks to his veterans for production.
There are simply too many other talented tight ends in the league to look to before Allen. Allen is nothing more than a desperation play in most fantasy leagues. Allen does have some keeper/dynasty appeal though.

What are Ghost Links?
http://viagraonlinegenericeliquis.accountant pharmacy express
The Experiment
How can you use Ghost Links?
If Ghost Link theory is right it would mean that once you gain a link you shouldn't worry anymore about what happens to that link. One of the common projects carried out by SEOs is compiling massive spreadsheets with all the external links pointing to your domain and making sure that they point to live pages and no 404's. Even though I believe this this is a best practice in SEO, is it really worth it? Provided the Ghost Link theory is correct, once a link is indexed by Google you should just move on and use your time to get the next one!

Nike LeBron 10 Elite "Oregon Ducks" by DMC Kicks
LeBron James was one of a select few athletes with serious connections who got a pair of the coveted 'Oregon' Air Jordan Vs. LeBron has been varying up his own on-court footwear more than expected this season, and for a chunk at the beginning of 2013-14, he had switched back to the Nike LeBron 10 Elite in which he won his second NBA title. Here's that same LeBron 10 Elite done up in an Oregon Ducks custom by DMC Kicks, one that's mostly black with green accents, and includes the metallic wing pattern that's been prominent on UO football jerseys for a few years. Click in to see more angles, let us know how they compare to the torrent of official Oregon colorways Nike has produced of late and stick with Sneaker News for the latest and greatest customs.

Originally published March 27, 2004
When the politicians violate the Bill of Rights with the Patriot Act or some other guaranteed-to-bring-peace-and-security-to-the-world scheme, they always reassure us by saying:
"If you aren't guilty, you have nothing to fear."
If only that were so. The truth is that innocence is no protection at all against government agencies with the power to do what they think best — or against a government agent hoping for promotion and willing to do whatever he can get away with.
* Tell a businessman he has nothing to fear from the piles of forms he must file to prove he doesn't discriminate.
* Tell a home owner he has nothing to fear when his property is seized by the government in a mistaken — or contrived — drug raid.
* Tell a taxpayer he has nothing to fear when the IRS drags him into a "taxpayer compliance" audit that eats up a week of his life, costs him thousands of dollars in accounting fees, and threatens him with unbearable penalties.
It is the innocent who suffer most from government's intrusions. How many times have we seen the following pattern?
1. The press and politicians demand that something be done about violent crime, terrorist acts, drug dealing, tax evasion, or whatever is the Urgent Concern of the Month.
2. A tough, new, take-no-prisoners law or policy is put into place.
3. After the dust settles, the initial "problem" continues unabated, because the guilty continue to slip through the net. But the innocent are left burdened with new chores, expenses, and hazards — more mandatory reports to file, less privacy, reduced access to products and services, higher costs, heavier taxes, and a new set of penalties for those who shirk their duty to fight in the War on (fill in the blank).
4. And, needless to say, the ineffectual law is never repealed.
Being innocent doesn't allow you to ignore the government's demands for reports — or to say "No, thanks" when a government agent wants to search your records, your place of business, or your home — or to refuse to observe regulations that were aimed at the guilty, not you.
When coercion is used to solve social problems, we all suffer. The coercion fails to achieve its stated aims, but it is wondrously effective at harming the innocent.
Even worse, every year a few million innocent people suffer special burdens — greater than those the government places on all of us. The dismantling of the Bill of Rights has allowed the government to disrupt their lives, confiscate their property, or even kill them — even though they've committed no crimes.
I hope you never become one of them.
Not Even Ministers Are Safe
For example, suppose you're a 75-year-old minister living in Boston. You've worked all your life to console those who
are poor in money or spirit.
One afternoon 13 men with sledgehammers break down the door and charge into your apartment. They're wearing helmets, battle fatigues, and boots — and they're armed with shotguns and pistols.
They force you to the floor, pin your legs and arms, and handcuff you. They scare you so badly you suffer a heart attack — and within 45 minutes you're dead.
Who were these criminals?
They weren't "criminals." They were members of a SWAT team searching for drugs and guns. There wasn't anything illegal in your apartment, as you could have told them if they had stopped long enough to ask you.
But they didn't stop and they didn't ask. They didn't have to. They _knew_ you were a bad guy, and they weren't going
to allow you to escape or to flush your drug inventory down the toilet.
Six weeks after you die, it is revealed that the SWAT team raided the wrong apartment. You have been completely exonerated. But, unfortunately, the government can't bring you back to life.
Not one of the SWAT team members — or the prosecutor who okayed the raid — was prosecuted or suffered any career
damage for causing the death. Compare that with a pot smoker who is hurting no one but might have to spend several years in prison if he gets caught.
This isn't fiction. It is the story of the Reverend Acelynne Williams, and how he died on March 26, 1994.{1}
Fatal Attractions
And the tale isn't extraordinary. Donald Scott was shot to death when a task force of 27 men smashed into his house in
Malibu, California, on October 2, 1992. They claimed Mr. Scott was growing marijuana — although their only evidence
turned out to be a false report from an anonymous informant.{2}
Similar stories can be told of other people who were shot without warning, whose homes were torn apart, or who went
to prison for resisting arrest — people like Harry Davis of Fort Washington, Maryland; Charlotte Waters of Los Angeles; David Gordon of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Xavier Bennett, Jr., of Atlanta; Kenneth Baulch of Garland, Texas; Robin Pratt of Everett, Washington; William Grass of Kentucky; Albert Lewin of Boston; Manuel Ramirez of Stockton, California; Charles DiGristine of Titusville, Florida; and Donald Carlson of San Diego. {3}
All of them were innocent. But all of them had plenty to fear from government. And now their families will always fear government as much as any Soviet citizen did.
By ignoring the Bill of Rights, acting on anonymous tips and intruding without warrants, government agents have put all of us in jeopardy — the innocent as much as the guilty.
Maybe you haven't been hurt yet by a government agent acting on a malicious report or on his own ambition. So far, a mean-minded office rival or business competitor hasn't stooped to giving a false tip about you to the police or the IRS.
Be thankful. And hope it doesn't happen next year. You might not be given time to prove your innocence.
The Bill of Rights Is for the Innocent
The outrages I've mentioned violate the Bill of Rights.
Because our school system doesn't teach much about Constitutional safeguards, many people think the Bill of Rights is just a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card for criminals. And they wonder why we should protect the rights of killers and thieves.
But the Bill of Rights wasn't written to protect criminals. It was designed to protect you:
* To make sure a zealous prosecutor can't take you to court over and over again on the same charge — searching for a
jury that will convict you.
* To make sure the police can't break into your home unannounced on the mere chance that you might have some drugs or illegal weapons stashed in your closet.
* To make sure politicians can't confiscate your home or other property to fulfill some dream of social reform.
* To make sure you don't have to answer questions put to you by the police — so a ruthless policeman can't twist your words out of context or browbeat you into confessing something you didn't do.
* To make sure your attorney can cross-examine any accuser or any witness against you.
Of course these safeguards protect the guilty as well as the innocent. But brushing them aside gives government
employees the power to do as they wish — to harass whomever _they_ think is guilty.
Why There's So Much Violent Crime
And these safeguards, which are respected less and less every year, haven't been letting the guilty off.
Crime rates haven't skyrocketed because of criminals using the Bill of Rights to their advantage.
Crime is soaring. . .
* Because the government's War on Drugs has transformed a minor social problem into an immensely profitable enterprise for those willing to defy the law;
* Because many of the government's schools have become cesspools;
* Because the government packs the prisons with non-violent offenders, making it necessary to release the thugs early;
* Because the government diverts law-enforcement resources to fighting victimless crimes — as well as to affirmative
action, gun control, and other social reforms — leaving too little with which to protect your life and property; and
* Because government schools teach young people that inequality of wealth is unjust — providing a moral justification for taking from someone more "fortunate" than oneself.
The government has inspired or abetted a thousand criminals for each one it has freed on a legal technicality.
Why the Bill of Rights Is Important
When Constitutional safeguards are honored, they rescue innocent people far more often than they let the guilty
slip away.
In fact, _new laws that violate the Bill of Rights usually hurt the innocent more than the guilty_.
The truly guilty make it their business to be aware of the new law and take steps not to be caught. But the innocent, secure in the knowledge that their innocence will protect them, suddenly find their property confiscated through asset forfeiture — or their liberty destroyed by zealous police or prosecutors trying to pad their conviction records.
And when the Bill of Rights is ignored and an innocent person is convicted, the truly guilty are left free to continue committing violence. That's why the Bill of Rights must apply to all people — citizens or aliens, innocent or presumed guilty, nice guys or thugs.
Unfortunately, the Constitutional safeguards are ignored more and more by Congress, the police, federal officials, and the courts. Disregarding the Bill of Rights has done nothing to reduce the crime rate, but it has put your life and mine in jeopardy.
As a result, we have neither physical protection from the guilty nor legal protection for the innocent.
Until the Bill of Rights is a living document again, I hope the government doesn't think you're suspicious or covet your property for one of its programs.
Your innocence probably won't protect you.

My wife and I moved from San Diego to the Denver Metro area a few weeks ago. We got part of our electric bill and it did not look pretty. What types of small heaters do you use in the winter? We currently have Honeywell Surround Heater that I find a bit weak. Also, what are your thoughts on Oil-filled heaters?
