Authenticate Linux To Active Directory On Windows – Centrify Express
I was working with a coworker today to setup a new Redmine server running on top of Ubunut 12.04 and one of the steps we completed in the process was setting up LDAP authentication in Redmine. Setting up LDAP authentication in Redmine requires the server running Redmine to be joined to the Windows Active Directory domain so I needed a quick way to auth Linux on Active Directory. I have used Centrify in the past and remember it being really easy to setup authentication from any form of Linux to a Windows domain and again it did not disappoint. Follow the directions below to join a Linux server to Active Directory using Centrify.

The '70s weren't too kind to Mustangs. Colby Henton bought the last of the good-looking ones and made the most of it
You know the feeling, running into an old flame after she's put on 50 pounds in the years since you broke up. As you struggle with feeling fortunate and like a superficial slimeball all at the same time, you realize that sometimes timing really is everything. For muscle car buffs, the same goes for the tumultuous years leading up to the smog era, especially if Mustangs are your thing. Everything was cool until 1970, but even Mustang diehards despise the bloated proportions and disfigured mugs of the '71-73 models, disparagingly labeling them "Clydesdales" for all eternity. With Mustangs of this vintage, Mach 1 more aptly describes the speed at which mortified onlookers ran from them rather than their go-fast potential. The bottom line is that if you were going to buy a Mustang in the '70s, then 1970 was a good year to do it. And if you're fortunate enough to have scored the last of the good-looking vintage Mustangs—regardless of whether it's a coupe or a fastback—it's your civic hot rodding duty to uphold the Mustang legacy by transforming it into a badass street machine.
At just 16 years of age, Colby Henton was ready to answer the call. Granted, the year was 1990, and he had the advantage of critiquing the Mustang lineage through retrospective eyes, Colby set the cutoff point at the '70 model year while searching for his first car. Ever since he was a kid, he knew his first car had to be a Mustang, as Ford's ponycar runs deep in the Henton household. Colby vividly recalls his uncle, grandfather, and grandmother each owning Mustangs during his childhood, and dad was a Blue Oval-or-bust man as well. "I've always liked the '70 body style because I think the early coupes don't look that aggressive, and the '71-and-later Mustangs got too big and strayed from the muscle car formula too much," he says.
Colby got a job at Dairy Queen one summer, and started shopping for his first car once he saved up some money. He found the perfect target when he ran across a nicely restored '70 Mustang that still had the original 302 small-block. "I didn't have enough cash to buy it, so I talked my dad into cosigning a $2,500 bank loan for me. He went out and bought the car a week later without telling me about it, so it was a total surprise," he says. "One day while I was in school, he left the car in the student parking lot, and dropped off the keys in the office for me with a note attached to it. I didn't know what it was at first, but then I saw a horse on the key ring and figured it out. It was one of the best days of my life. I drove the car all afternoon and took the long way home."
With the limited resources of a teenager's budget, Colby kept the car mostly stock throughout high school. He bolted on as many engine mods as his budget allowed, and engaged in some street skirmishes here and there. Then in 1997, Colby hit the dragstrip and got hooked. Since the stock motor was getting tired, he dropped in a fresh 302 and a set of 4.11:1 gears, and sprayed the Mustang to 7.14-second passes in the eighth-mile. That's equivalent to a deep 11-second pass in the quarter-mile, which was pretty darn quick for the era. Unfortunately, Colby got a little too greedy with the nitrous pills, and like many Mustang racers before him, he split the delicate factory block in half. After that episode, Colby started messing around with trucks and the Mustang sat for the next six years.
As the Mustang languished in his garage, Colby was busy boosting several Powerstroke diesel rigs into oblivion. Next came an '02 Lightning pickup, but despite its blown and squeezed goodness, the Mustang beckoned for attention. Consequently, Colby put the truck phase behind him in 2006 by selling the Lightning, and shifted his focus to the Mustang once again. His goal was to resurrect his car in the g-Machine tradition with driveability as a top priority. Likewise, he was more interested in passing away the miles in comfort rather than wiping it down incessantly. "I wanted to build a car that I could hop in, turn the key, and drive anywhere in comfort. The last thing I wanted was a car I had to work on or clean all the time," he says.
There are certainly different degrees of how much each Pro Touring build swings the pendulum toward modern trends and technology, and Colby didn't want to go over the top. As such, he opted for Windsor power instead of the more fashionable mod motor option. The venerable 351W architecture lends itself to lots of easy cubic inches, so Colby started out with a production block, bored it 0.030 over, then dropped in a 4.170-inch steel crankshaft. Matched with 6.200-inch connecting rods and forged 10.0:1 pistons, the result is a cool 425 cubes. The air supply comes from ported 225cc Trick Flow aluminum cylinder heads, and an Edelbrock Victor single-plane intake manifold. A Crower 234/246-at-.050 hydraulic roller camshaft actuates the valves, and exhaust exits through custom 1.75-inch headers and dual Pypes 2.5-inch mufflers.
The simple-yet-effective combo is good for 409 hp and 439 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. Backing up the stout 425 mill is a Tremec TKO five-speed manual trans. "I have fond memories of how this car used to sound with a cammed-up 302, and I thought that going with a mod motor would take away from that. Small-block Windsor motors have a unique sound to them that the newer motors don't have," Colby says. "I also liked the idea that 351Ws were available from the factory in these cars. Even though I wanted an old-school motor for the sake of nostalgia and sound, I decided to go with a FAST XFI fuel-injection system for driveability and reliability. The sound and feel of an old-school motor and the reliability of EFI is the best of both worlds."
The foundation of any Pro Touring build is the chassis, and unlike in the engine bay, none of the wobbly factory bits were spared in the name of nostalgia. Up front, the stock underpinnings were replaced with a Heidts crossmember assembly, control arms, and spindles. Out back is a Chassisworks four-link that swings a fabricated 9-inch rearend. Providing an excellent balance of handling and ride quality are RideTech air springs and shocks at each corner. The stick comes from BFGoodrich KDWs wrapped around 18-inch Billet Specialties Patriot wheels, and four-piston Wilwood calipers bite down on 12-inch rotors at each corner. To say that the modern hardware has paid dividends would be a massive understatement. "Everything I've done to this car has been to improve driveability. Between the fuel-injected motor and the suspension upgrades, the difference in handling and streetability compared to the stock setup is night and day," Colby says. "The car has tons of power, drives much more smoothly, and I can go anywhere in it. There's nothing like cruising in it with the exhaust rumbling, A/C blowing, and radio jamming."
In addition to enhancing performance and driveability, show-quality aesthetics were part of the grand plan all along. Even though extensive sheetmetal mods are becoming more commonplace in the walk of g-Machines, Colby wanted to keep things simple. Other than fixing a small patch of rust in the floorpan, smoothing out the firewall, and filling in holes in the engine compartment and undercarriage, the body is mostly stock. Instead, the mean stance, aggressive factory body lines, and Volkswagen Reflex Silver paint do all the talking. "I like the way these cars look from the factory, so I didn't want to change the body much at all. Lots of people like to shave the driprails and door handles, but I didn't want to take away from the car's original profile."
As subjective as a car's styling might be, few people would disagree that the '70 Mustang is a far better looking machine than the Clydesdales. And let's not even get into the Mustang II debacle. With the last of the aesthetically pleasing old-school Mustangs at his disposal, Colby has met his duty of turning it into a sweet street machine that can do it all. Even so, there will still be those who question putting so much effort into any Mustang that isn't a fastback. "I know that it doesn't make that much sense to put a lot of money into a Mustang coupe because there just isn't that much demand for them," he admits. "However, I didn't build my car to sell it. I got to build my first car like I always dreamed of building it, and not many people can say that."
"I wanted to build a muscle car that drives and handles as well as a new car. I think I've accomplished that." —Colby Henton

Steve Watson & Paul Watson
Monday, Dec 15, 2008
Google Inc is lobbying internet providers and phone companies to establish a separate internet traffic lane in order to prioritize the search engine giant's content, according to a leading report today.
Google has for years been one of the loudest advocates of internet neutrality, the practice of giving all internet data traffic the same level of priority.
However, the Wall Street Journal today reveals that the company, which now incorporates Youtube, wants to set up its own fast track on the web.
The precedent this would set would be to allow companies to pay internet providers for preferential treatment.
Smaller companies, businesses and websites could be left operating in the internet slow lane, unable to compete with the elite of the corporate world.
Defenders of net neutrality say this would constitute a form of censorship and maintain it would kill off the level playing field that has forged the greatest technological advance in human history.
Such a move may inevitably lead to a situation further down the line where a few large companies have a monopoly over online content and distribution.
Ironically, Google has positioned itself as a strong advocate of net neutrality and has often found itself on the receiving end of charges of freeloading from providers.
The company has responded by saying the report in The Wall Street Journal is "confused" and has reaffirmed its support for network neutrality.
Instead, Google explained that the OpenEdge effort (the subject of the WSJ story) was a plan to peer its edge-caching devices directly with the network operators so that the users of those broadband carriers get faster access to Google and YouTube's content, reports GigaOM.
However, the company did not deny that it was seeking to get its packets ahead of others in this instance by paying internet carriers.
The founding principle of the world wide web was that it is a decentralized communication medium born as a "neutral network", there are no overriding controllers, as there are with television networks, to whose protocols users and content distributors must adhere to. This is what defines the internet as truly free.
Though Federal Communications Commission guidelines favor net neutrality, there is no concrete law that could stop carriers adopting the fast lanes, which appeal to them as a way of raising more revenue to upgrade their networks.
Indeed, the FCC rules have been weakening on neutrality for the past few years, allowing communications companies such as AT&T and Verizon to publicly acknowledge their intentions to create so called internet fast lanes. Other companies such as Comcast have been caught delaying internet traffic, in itself a form of prioritization.
Such moves by carriers, though much more subtle, are essentially no different to governments filtering and blocking content they deem to be sensitive or controversial, a practice now commonplace not only in Communist China but also throughout the so called free world.
The precedent to clamp down on internet neutrality also dovetails with the move towards the designation of a new form of the internet, of which we have consistently warned our readers, known as Internet 2.
This would be a faster, more streamlined elite equivalent of the internet available to users who were willing to pay more for a much improved service. providers may only allow streaming audio and video on your websites if you were eligible for Internet 2.
Of course, Internet 2 would be greatly regulated and only "appropriate content" would be accepted by an FCC or government bureau. Everything else would be relegated to the "slow lane" internet, the junkyard as it were.
The proponents of the various "Internet 2″ style projects all maintain that the internet in it's current form is "dead" or "dying", citing the problem of providing more and more bandwidth as it grows. The fact of the matter is that bandwidth is unlimited, as long as carriers are prepared to provide it, but the continuation of a neutral internet means less control and less profits for the corporate elite.
We are witnessing the first steps on a road of control and corporate centralization of the internet, a move to guarantee the internet serves the commercial and political purposes of large corporations. An internet without neutrality would be a direct attack on the right to information free of censorship or control.

Meet Marlene Beltran and Lysander Lanuza. They are two women about to start one of the most extreme weight-loss methods yet: the tongue patch diet.
Plastic mesh, meant for hernia repair, is sewn onto the tongue, making eating solid food painful, if not impossible.
Both Lanuza and Beltran each hope to drop 20 pounds in 30 days.
"I'm determined to lose weight," said Lanuza. "In a month's time I'll be going to Hawaii and I'll be wearing a bikini and hopefully I'll be looking great."
When it comes to food, she said she can't help herself and loves eating everything.
Beltran has a similar problem and said she gets cravings, for a brownie or ice cream, in the middle of the night. She wants to look like she did back when she was 16 years old, and is also hoping to catch a man.
"I'm just really motivated because I am almost 21, and I do have plans and I want to look my best and feel good," she said.
So how does the patch turn a tongue into a tormenting deterrent to dinner? It was pioneered in the United States by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Nikolas Chugay. He introduced the procedure four years ago after first seeing it done in Latin America.
"As you're swallowing, say, a cheeseburger or something, that tongue is pushing things up against the roof of the mouth and back into the throat," explained Chugay. "And so while it's doing that, it's going to basically be uncomfortable if you have that on top of the sutures, which are basically fishing line. So now you have two little sharp points on the tongue, rubbing up against the top of the mouth, and it's going to be uncomfortable."
The procedure takes about 10 minutes. Chugay said he has not encountered any risks or infections and no patients have swallowed the patch. The average weight loss is anywhere from 18 to 20 pounds. The price tag is $2,000.
His 81st patient is Lanuza. With the tongue patch in place, her customary greasy fried food is now off limits. It's a strict 800-calorie per day liquid diet of juice, broth and protein shakes until the patch is removed in one month.
"I am actually terrified of eating solid food, just thinking about having that much pain," she said.
But the tongue patch has its critics.
"I think it's a barbaric procedure," said Dr. Rob Huizenga, who specializes in long-term weight loss and has spent 14 seasons as an expert on the television program "The Biggest Loser."
"This is so primitive an approach," he continued. "You could hire somebody to hold a gun to your head and threaten to shoot you every time you eat. The idea that you put this patch in and every time you even take one morsel of solid food you get this stabbing pain, who the heck knows what the long-term consequences of that are."
Dr. Huizenga also pointed to studies that show how most extreme dieters who lose weight rapidly eventually gain it all back – and more.
Dr. Chugay's son and partner, Dr. Paul Chugay, did submit a study that claims 70 percent of their patients lost an average of 16 pounds and kept it off for 8 months. But the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery won't publish it without more data.
No matter. Beltran is getting all that she needs from her bathroom scales as 18 pounds fall away.
"My double chin isn't as bad as it used to be," she said. "My arms are a lot thinner."
Lanuza is also watching the pounds melt away. After removing the patch, she discovered she's lost 23 pounds.
"I see myself better," she said. "And really, my husband is the happiest person. He's over the moon about my weight loss."

On winter solstice, or becoming real
December 2, 2011 3 Comments
December 2011. X marks the spot. In exactly 18 months, this journey will be complete. But now is the time that I begin to get nervous. Residency is easy, relatively speaking. Easy, you may ask? After these blog posts about grieving, hardship, long hours, and sacrifice? But how?
Ah, my friends, I have painted the picture too grimly. It is only with time that my lens has cleared and reveals…life in the real world. Residency offers us much protection. We have strict hours restrictions. We still go to school, and get paid to do it. We always have an attending to call on for help. We always have the excuse that we are "still in training" when there is something we do not know. We are protected from much of the litigation that floods the world of medicine today.
It is the life of an attending that is difficult. As emergency physicians, we bear the weight of people's lives on our shoulders – and we do it alone. And, in some sense, we harbor responsibility for each bad outcome that happens on our watch, in our department. And – if we are good – we ask ourselves, again and again, "Was this something I could have prevented, if I had acted quicker, smarter, better?" And we ask, "Was there something I missed?" And we ask, "What if?"
There is a quote from a children's story that I will cite here…
"What is real?" asked the Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
– Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams
Residency is all about the process of becoming real, of walking farther along the path to "doctor-hood" – the path to adulthood. The path to making one's own decisions and standing by them, come hell or high water. But you realize that this journey to "real" has happened only after it is complete, all finished, in the blink of an eye. Real creeps up on you that way, nice and quietly, and then it is there forever.
But, as I look back, the Skin Horse was right – Real is a process, bit by bit, day by day. Over the years, residency has taken its toll, the wrinkles are there, my hair has been loved off, and the memories of all of my patients – through life, death, and everything in between – are present in me, subconsciously affecting my decisions at each critical turn. And real hurts, too – more than you would imagine. No one ever said it would be easy. It is scary sometimes. Sad sometimes, too.
But it is real, after all.
I still remember when one of the bravest attendings I know told me that she had hoped, in those first few years after residency while driving to her single-coverage overnight shifts at the hospital, that she might get into a minor car accident just so that she could have a reason to call out that night, not go. She is one of the bravest people I know. And even she had a hard time becoming real, in the beginning.
People ask me what I want to be when I grow up, now that I will be graduating in 18 months and interviewing for jobs in less than a year, and I look at them, perplexed. I know what I do not want to be when I grow up – a medical resident. That is for sure. But what do I want to be? Maybe a real doctor, maybe not. Maybe a writer, but that will never pay off my monstrous loans. Maybe a teacher, I have always loved to teach. Or maybe I just want to be me for a while, and be free for a while, not a slave to my occupation.
I always used to have an answer to this question. In high school, I wanted to go to college to be pre-med. In college, I wanted to be pre-med to go to medical school. In medical school, I wanted to go to residency. And somehow, after all these years of a nice, clean and cut path to success, I find my feet faltering at this next step. Part of me is hesitating, does not want to venture on anymore.
The more time passes, the farther I travel, the less I know. But maybe this is all part of the process…I am not real yet, after all.

We spend lots of time focusing on what stars wear (and any wardrobe malfunctions they may have), but what about what they put on their faces? There's been a lot of celebrity news this week and although makeup may not seem all that important, plenty of women won't leave home without it.
In a survey, two-thirds of British women said that heading to the office bare-faced caused them more stress than public speaking, going on a first date or enduring a job interview. 91 percent of women surveyed would rather cancel a first date altogether than go without makeup on. And in the U.S., women spend around $7 billion on cosmetics every year.
And that doesn't even include hair.The AP recently reported that in 1950, about seven percent of women dyed their hair. Today? 95 percent or more.
With all that beauty-obsession (and our own love of makeup) in mind, we're taking a look at This Week In Beauty. From this week forward, we'll be showcasing the best, worst and most interesting styles of hair, makeup and nails that we came across this week. Take a look, get inspired and vote for your faves!


text: 26 May 2014 09:30 Etihad Airways has opened a unique new art exhibition showcasing lithographs from The Marina Picasso Legacy Collection in its premium lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. The lithographs come from the acclaimed collection of Pablo Picasso's granddaughter, Marina Picasso. The Etihad Airways lounge is one of a few select places exhibiting such notable works of art for the pleasure of its First and Business Class guests, further strengthening its position as a global cultural ambassador. The Picasso lithographs were created from original paintings inherited by Marina Picasso from her grandfather's estate and include a selection of the artist's most treasured works, recreated by Master Chromist, Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways' Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Having work by the most celebrated Cubist artist of all time displayed in our Paris lounge will help define the Etihad Airways journey for our guests departing this great city. The Picasso lithographs embody the remarkable and influential artistic culture of Europe and are part of our mission to lift the guest experience to new heights of innovation and sophistication". The exhibition features six of Marina Picasso's limited edition lithographs, which are available for guests to purchase. Previous works displayed in the airline's Paris lounge included bronze Salvador Dali sculptures and lithographs from the Espace Dali in Paris. The Picasso and Dali exhibits are the result of a partnership between Etihad Airways and the distinguished French art curator, Bertrand Epaud.

ETF investors should be on guard, and considering adjustments to their portfolios given the correction in tech stocks, writes John Nyardi.
Put another way, there may be an opportunity developing in tech stocks now that the Nasdaq COMP has fallen below its 200-day moving average.
Nyardi notes that Apple AAPL, Google GOOG, Research In Motion RIMM and some high-profile IPOs like LinkedIn LNKD and Pandora Media P, are all running into problems.
Among the possible responses:
1. Go to cash, at least in part;
2. Buy put options on stocks you don't want to sell;
3. Consider ETFs that let you effectively short the tech sector such as the ProShares Short QQQ PSQ.

The above pic comes from an LA Times article I clipped as a young teen and saved, knowing even then that THERE WOULD BE CALL FOR THIS, SOMEDAY. Today's the day. Now this pic does appear in the new Joe Carducci book, Enter Naomi, too. But only here at Pig State Recon can read the entire article! Yep it's all tantilizing foreplay to yet another edition of NeareSST Relatives, wherein I'll continue to dredge the used bins in search of records that belong in the SST Records catalog of MY OBSESSIVE DREAMS/YOUR WORST NIGHTMARES.
Do catch up with the first and second parts of NR if you feel the need to get some perspective. Then grab your stereo fork and tune in . . .
1. THE RUB – "Death of Pop" (from the Bikini Gospel LP, Happy Squid, 1987) How many garage bands can claim to be signers of "The Dukowski Petition," Chuck's statement of solidarity against the emerging pay-to-play paradigm sweeping across LA clubland in the late 80's? THE RUB most definitely can, as they announce proudly on the CD reissue of this. Nuts!
Dunno how I forgot about these San Pedro boys during my first post. They put out two good LPs in the second half of the 80's, both which John Talley-Jones (URINALS, 100 FLOWERS, TROTSKY ICEPICK) helped mix/produce, and the second which features Dirk Vandenberg (early MINUTEMEN collaborator/photographer) on drums. THE RUB were wilder/looser than any TROTSKY ICEPICK, but still in a vein that wouldn't exactly offend your average CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN fan. But hey: I kinda dug CVB once too, actually saw em play in '86 at Safari Sam's in Huntington Beach (my very first club show!), so I'm not complaining, just lettin' you know is all. I actually prefer the second LP, Day Off From Karma (Dirk was a wise addition) – but this song, with it's FlyingNun-esque vibe, is sort of a classic – so it's what you get.
2. BACULUM – "Three Deaths: A Narrative" (from the My Friends Became Junkies CD, 3 Beads of Sweat, 2002) Only got around to buying this recently, and whatayaknow but it's breezy in a lazy Sunday afternoon kinda way – albeit one where global climate changes have brought 100 degree heat and a freak hail shower to boot. Sure most of this is drumless, but hey even I need to take a break from the BOOM-SHA-BOOM occasionally. The main guys here (Sam Goldman, Steve Anderson, Scott Ziegler) are all ex-DINGLE, who you don't remember from their barely-heard Red Dog CD on New Alliance Records from '94. Course, they were also all present during the dying days of SLOVENLY too (ca. their great Drive It Home, Abbernathy EP from '91), while Steve & Scott participated in all things SLOVENLY back to their late 70's beach cities pre-history. And this CD sounds it! This soars above DINGLE both in sweet melodic content and startling word juxapostion c/o Mr. Anderson. For all you who dug the quieter side of SLOVENLY, ala Riposte. Get it before the label goes belly-up!
3. SÜR DRONE – "Sagitariass 'Uh" (from the Sür Drone CD EP, 1998, Love Unlimited, Inc., 1998) I'm smiling and shaking my head right now, cause you really can't resist doing that when you're confronted with Raymond Pettibon's notions of sonic righteousness. This was the second musical project he led that actually saw the light of day, the first being his incredibly beautiful and beyond-gone SUPER SESSION project that issued the Torches & Standards package on Blast First in 1990. This is in the glowing spirit of that set (go listen to some of that here), only without the bitchen art booklet. And with a bit straighter, more identifiably "rock" underpinning – though a pretty shambolic one, I'll admit. But how disorienting are the vocalizations on this thing? And what the fuck does is all, you know, mean – cosmically speaking? I'm at a loss – a major loss like when the floor accidentally slides away, leaving you hovering Wile E Coyote-like in thin air 1000 feet above the canyon floor. Yes pseudonyms abound in the credits but I do know a bunch of dudes playing on this used to be in PAY THE MAN, who's flyers and t-shirts used to feature Pettibon drawings in the early 90's.
4. GARY KAIL – "Life Is Ugly So Why Not Kill Yourself" (from the GARY KAIL/ZURICH 1916 2-LP, Creative Nihilism, Iridescence Records, 1983) Gary's a real mystery man. For a long time I thought his only gig was lead gtrist & songwriter for Lawndale's ANTI, who kinda bored me with their relentlessly trad HC-isms. But he also played on the goth (oh sorry – "death rock") MOOD OF DEFIANCE LP backing Hatha, the daughter of the hippies who rented out the legendary CHURCH practice/party pad on Pier Ave. in Hermosa Beach. Plus, he ran the label New Underground Records, who released alot of SST run-off on an interesting series of comps in the early 80's. And: he recorded this insane, double record set – half solo, half collabs under the moniker ZURICH 1916 with folks like ex-REACTIONARIES Martin Tamburovich and Carla Noelle (nee Bozulich) a good decade before she formed THE GERALDINE FIBBERS. It's a confused record filled with odd electronic squiggles, overblown amp hums, ambient field recordings (some apparently captured on a corner of 153rd St. in Lawndale!) as well as some disturbing tape-splice bits that sound not unlike what Stephen Stapleton of NURSE WITH WOUND mighta come up with, had he been a suburban SoCal loser with no knowledge of dilitante things like Krautrock and Paris student riots. How this HC numbskull came up with something this OUT is way beyond me.
5. A NOISE AGENCY – "Hang That Monkey" (from the Mom's in the Kitchen LP, Gnatbreath Records, 1985) OK so this one's a stretch. Since, to my knowledge there's no actual connections with SST anywhere on this record. Except it's out of Lomita, CA, a South Bay suburb just down the street from SST. It's a town I am intimately familiar with, and I have clear memories of passing over this record for something like 104 straight weeks in the mid 80's at Peanut Records on PCH in Lomita, until they finally dropped it in the 50 cent bin. I finally picked it up a year or so ago, and damn it if it ain't totally hard-hitting, vaguely bluesy 80's independent rock, but with a distinctly FIREHOSEy feel to it all.
SO: now I'm guessing here, but these guys MUST have sent their tapes to Greg and Chuck at SST first, before deciding to self-release it. Right? Certainly worse bands did, and this ain't at all horrible. In fact I actually LOVE this one. Just goes to show what kinda South Bay bands didn't make the cut. A few were actually pretty damn worthy.
6. SOLO CAREER – "The Painted Desert" (from their Season Finale CD, Box-O-Plenty Records, 2005) Floating, overtone-rich instrumental exploration that roams the freeform terrain my imaginary late-night cousins of UNIVERSAL CONGRESS OF might've in their formative days. The SST connection here is through San Pedro-based bassist Richard Derrick, who played in a number of D. BOON-led configurations throughout the mid-80's (see the D. Boon & Friends CD on this same label for the goods). But drummer BOB LEE (CLAW HAMMER, CRAWLSPACE, BACKBITER, FEARLESS LEADER, etc.) is present too, and he always impressed me as being a BILL STEVENSON who was comfortable playing outside (or at least waaaaaay the hall down the hall towards the emergency exit) when the need presented itself. NELS CLINE is too BUT he's laying back, merely 1 part of a unified whole rather than leader of the proceedings – so all you NELS-ophobes are safe. These are high-calibre sonic swathes that'll help you safely navigate any decent-size psychotic meltdown your destiny has planned for the immediate future.
7. RICK LAWNDALE BAND – "Tijuana 'O'" (from Surfabilly Rock, SunSpot Records, 2002). I'm a gremmie when it comes to original ('60 – '64) surf music, but I can vouch for the mucho great BELAIRS and they grew out of the very same SoCal 'burbs as LAWNDALE. Lazy folks will remember LAWNDALE as some SST punk/surf hybrid – phooey, I say. On record, I count only ONCE ever did they incorporate that knucklehead HC drum beat into their thing. Everywhere else, they sound like a huge witches brew of every instrumental rock/pop classic up until the mid-80's. So I hear THE VENTURES playing DUANE EDDY's "Rebel Rouser" quoting QUICKSILVER's "Gold and Silver" seguing into PINK FAIRIES' "Raceway" using the MEAT PUPPETS' shitty gear they used to record "Magic Toy Missing" . . . or something like that. And not many bands can claim Greg Ginn played guest lead gtr on one their records ("March of the Melted Army Men" off of Sasquatch Rock; it's the ginchiest). No not many, my friend.
After a decade or so in deep winter hibernation, Rick finally got round to forming a new band with Ricky Sepulveda (ex of RAYMOND PETTIBON's SUPER SESSION) on lead gtr. A few years later this CD appeared. Alot of the new stuff has Rick's cornball singing over the top of it – those tracks are a bit too novelty-esque for my humourless ears. But the instrumental stuff sounds mighty, and still seeks to incorporate everything your mother tried to throw out (comics, posable action figures, girlie mags) the last time you ran away from home and camped out overnight on the beach. Man I dig this track and hope they follow this approach more fully on their next rec.
Almost forgot: here's the conclusion of that LA Times article begun above. (The whole of THE MINUTEMEN's Double Nickels recorded for $1500! Unbelievable.)

Is Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer Necessary?
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My sister has been diagnosed with cervical cancer and wasn't offered a hysterectomy. Every time we tell a doctor or nurse about this they seem to be shocked. Is there any reason a person with cervical cancer wouldn't be given a hysterectomy?
Thank you.
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You have asked a very good question. However, you should realize that the term "cervical cancer" could mean many different things. A patient with cervical cancer that has spread beyond the cervix (for example, spread to the tissues next to the cervix, to the vagina, or to the bowel or bladder) is not considered a candidate for hysterectomy. These patients are better treated with chemotherapy and radiation. On the other hand, patients with "carcinoma in situ", or cervical cancer that is only sitting on the surface of the cervix without invading the tissue of the cervix, may be adequately treated by a cone biopsy without need for a hysterectomy. This is particularly true for patients who are young and who desire to retain the ability to have children in the future.
If you have specific questions, you should address them with your sister's physician. Treatment of cervical cancer is not limited to hysterectomy, and is tailored to each individual patient's situation.

Our Voice: Public's role in WSU Tri-Cities success an asset for next chancellor in selecting WSU leader
Washington State University Tri-Cities is more than just the name of a branch campus.
The title accurately reflects the sense of ownership this community has for the school, a strength that the next chancellor should build upon.
Tri-City residents forged deep connections to this institution -- especially in rallying together to turn it into a four-year university. The community has been there every step of the way, from the initial concept to the first graduating class and beyond.
Community leaders and citizens came together to form a vision of higher education in the Tri-Cities. They took not just one, but two, runs at the Legislature to make it happen.
Since the school opened its doors to freshmen in 2007, the community has created opportunities and partnerships for WSU-Tri-Cities' students that far exceed what happens in most other communities.
All first-year students received a $1,000 scholarship for their freshman and senior years. And they were given laptops -- all through community partnerships. And that was only the beginning.
The Wine Science Center that's under construction in north Richland is a stellar example of the partnership with and the broader community.
WSU-Tri-Cities, the city of Richland and the wine industry united to form the Wine Science Center Development Authority, which pulled together funds to make the center a reality.
The Washington Wine Commission pledged $7.4 million toward building the research facility. The collaborative effort between WSU Tri-Cities and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to build and operate the school's biofuels lab is another great example.
If synergy hadn't become an overused buzzword, it would perfectly describe the relationships WSU Tri-Cities has forged with its neighbors.
Synergy -- the working together of two things to produce results greater than either could accomplish on its own -- has been the backbone of the school's success.
Nearly all of these partnerships were under the leadership of former Chancellor Vicky Carwein. She was the right leader for this community and campus, but she has moved on.
Carwein accepted a new post this summer at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, and her seat in the Tri-Cities needs to be filled.
We were glad to see the search for her replacement make good use of the strong bonds between the community and branch campus.
The 17-member search committee is a mix of academic officials and community leaders. PNNL Director Mike Kluse and Danny Talbot, clinical associate professor at WSU Tri-Cities, are co-chairmen of the committee.
It's equally appropriate that the search committee is introducing the finalists to the community, after narrowing their choices down from 40 candidates to a handful. It would be especially encouraging -- and instructive to the prospects -- if community members take advantage of the opportunity.
The first of the candidate, Karla V. Hughes, provost and vice president of academic affairs for Morehead State University in Kentucky, will be on the Richland campus today. Campus and community members are invited to meet her during a forum from 12:10-1:15 p.m. in the auditorium of the East Building at 2719 Crimson Way.
A second candidate, Ronald T. Brown, is provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Wayne State University in Detroit.
The public forum with Brown is Monday at the same time in the same building.
We appreciate the search committee giving the community the opportunity to meet the candidates. The relationship between the chancellor and the community has been vital over the past seven years. It's crucial to the school and the Tri-Cities for those ties to continue.

It's vitally important that your body is loaded with supplies of protein and necessary minerals to fill you with vitality and promote good health. Here's how to make the Weight Loss Shake that will help you lose weight and stay healthy in the process.
In a blender, combine the following:
10-12 ounces of distilled water Experiment with the amount of water. It's a matter of taste, and since water has no calories you're able to pick the amount that you want.
1-2 tablespoons of natural, non-pasteurized apple cider vinegar
Pat recommends the natural apple cider vinegar distributed by Bragg. Vinegar is very important because it aids digestion. This is especially beneficial for older people who have decreased hydrochloric acid in their stomachs. Older people should also consider Lindberg Complete Digestant. Since vinegar affects the taste of this shake, consider taking it separately.
1 tablespoon Lindberg Flax Oil
This is a great source of omega-3s and is important for cardiovascular health.
1 scoop
Lindberg Protein Blend
This is an all-natural, five-protein blend of whey protein concentrate, milk and egg white. It provides fast- and slow-release proteins to keep you satisfied for hours.
1 teaspoon of Fitness Labs L-Glutamine Powder
This tasteless, white powder is important to muscle recovery, especially after strenuous workouts. In addition, glutamine is important for growth hormone and immune health. Glutamine is a precursor to glutathione, which is considered a master antioxidant. This is a great weapon against the ravages of aging.
1 teaspoon of Lindberg MSM Powder
This natural source of sulfur has tremendous benefits. According to Judy Lindberg McFarland, an expert on vitamins and natural foods, sulfur is necessary for healing and repair of most tissues in the body, especially our skin. Sulfur slows down the aging process. It's called nature's beauty mineral because sulfur helps keep hair glossy and smooth, the complexion clear and youthful, and the nails strong. It is also excellent for joint health. Since MSM has a slightly bitter taste, you may want to take it separately from your shake or take it in capsule form.
6-8 frozen strawberries
Strawberries are low in calories and rich in antioxidants.They help defend our systems against free-radical damage and disease. They also make your shake taste great!
1/4 cup blueberries
Blueberries are delicious and a powerful source of antioxidants. They help protect us from cancer and age-related illnesses.
1/2 banana - optional
Bananas are a good source of potassium and flavor.
1 packet non-caloric sweetener
Use Sweet'N Low, Splenda or Stevia
If desired, add a few ice cubes and blend until smooth and frothy.
This is the recipe for a medium sized male or large woman. For smaller body frames and appetites, reduce the quantities of each ingredient slightly.
The Weight Loss Shake is very filling! That's the idea, so drink it all. You'll feel full and satisfied so temptations to overeat are minimized. That's the power of protein and healthy carbohydrates.
To review, in blender combine:• 10-12 ounces distilled water
If desired, add a few ice cubes and blend till smooth.
Take the Weight Loss Challenge! At the urging of Pat Robertson, many of his viewers have shed fat by participating in his Weight Loss Challenge. The Challenge includes drinking a High-Protein Weight Loss Shake which is made by mixing together the products in this article.
Pat Robertson is quite informed on nutritional matters and is much stronger and healthier than many men 20 years younger. He has taken the Lindberg Varsity Pack 2 vitamin and mineral packets and other supplements from Nutrition Express for many years.
Here's the simple plan to lose fatFirst, determine the calories you need to maintain weight (about 15 calories x ideal weight). Then consume 500 calories less than your maintenance calories. Doing this, you'll lose about 1-2 pounds a week. Exercise 30 minutes a day, alternating between cardio and weight training.
Breakfast: Drink the single shake recipe above.
Mid-Morning Snack: Eat one protein bar. The Optimal Protein Diet Bar is an excellent choice. It has 20 grams of protein and 1 gram of net impact carbs.
Lunch: Eat 4 ounces of chicken breast or fish plus one slice of whole wheat bread.
Afternoon Snack: Eat one protein bar.
Dinner: Eat a large vegetable salad, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
Mid-Evening Snack: Drink a smaller version of the breakfast shake using only protein powder.

Middle of the day0 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 1:28 pm
Yep it's that time again, the time when you've had or are having lunch, and demotivation takes over (except for the saddos that work through their lunch break!!), you start checking out MySpace, Facebook, writing in your blog. The odd stifled burp reminds you that you eat far too much MaccyD's, but at least you have a guilt reducing bottle of Evian on your desk rather than the death ridden Coke, that adorned it this morning.
Fortunatly you have your laptop set up on your desk as well as your main work computer so that you can check twice as much email and see what joyeous spam you've got in the past 10 minutes, that and get Limewire going on the next episode of which ever prog you fancy (if it appears in the bloody search list and with the right episode number!).
But then the time ticks on, you know that in a few minutes you'll have to pick up the phone again, leave some more poxy voicemail (why don't we just call them messages anymore?) and look for someone else to allow you to jabber into their electronic voice mailbox for fun. Bastards.
Although, maybe you have someone actually booked in to talk to, maybe they'll actually be there, maybe you'll talk to the person you actually need to, and then maybe they won't shoot you down with their verbal ground to air missiles, distributing their dismissive flak in your general direction.
Maybe you're far too attacked to the grubby looking hole punch you rescued from the cupboard on your return after the break, but hell at least you've got your nice big desk back by the window, even if it gets covered in kit every couple of days.

Went to the Doc's earlier today, couple of things I needed to get checked out, my ears being one of them, basically (and I already knew this) they're chock full of wax (yum!), I'm basically wanting them syringed so I can bloody well hear again, but noooo, the poxy nurse has to do it, a week Monday!! Combine that with the fact that my right ear is KILLING ME! and yay for next week.
The other thing was headaches, over the past few months at least I've been getting a fair few headaches, usually in the same place, front part of my head, behind the eyes, and at least 3 times a week if not more.
First thing I thought was to go get my eyes tested, as I spend most of my life in front of a computer and that's probably it. Went to the optician's, she said, "Yep you need glasses y'all", although I'm only just over the threshold for needing them so she didn't think that was the cause of my headaches, so she referred me to my GP. Okay.
So after a fair bit of faffing about (I missed one appointment and I still don't have my glasses), I went and saw the Doc' (if only he was Brown), had a little chat, explained, as best I could, what my headaches were like, the fact that my main concern was the loss of concentration and "fuzziness" that accompanies them, which is basically the same feeling I got when I was messed up after Dad died, so I'd really like it checked out.
After going through the questions, he basically thinks that (oh there was a blood pressure check too, it's up "but only a smidge"), they sound like tension headaches, but I'm not particularly stressed at the mo, so he's putting them down to "painkiller headaches".
At this point I mentioned that I'd seen a documentary about this some time ago involving Codine.
Yes he says, Codine is pretty bad, Ibuprofen/Neurofen (which is what I normally take for headaches) is similar, but not the worst.
So basically he believe's I'm essentially addicted to the stuff. Great. Thanks.
To be honest, he's probably right, I haven't really had a headache since I've been of work (past two weeks), which made me think that it was something to do with my eyes and VDU's, but then I've been using my Mac, I've also had chronic earache for most of the time off and have been taking....wait for it... Neurofen for that. DOH!
So NOW, I need to pick up my prescription for Beta Blockers (medicine of choice in the late 80's I believe), take it for two months, NO PAINKILLERS, then stop. And see what happens basically. Hopefully the headaches will stop and I won't be injesting far too much ibuprofen.
Although I'm gonna pick up the shit tomorrow, I'm postponing the start date for a week, cos god damn does my ear hurt and I'm not dealing with that for a week, hopefully Nurse Pam will sort that out, it'll ease off and I'll be Blockin' away.
Hopefully I'll get some glasses at some point too, although the slightly lower pay packet I'm gonna get this month ain't gonna help that one!
I just watched Brick as well, pretty good, I'll post my verdict to the "reviews" blog, but probably not until 2moro.

There's a Joost loose aboot this hoose!2 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 3:35 pm
Unexpectedly, I've just recieved my Joost beta invite and downloaded it onto my MacBook.
First run done and dusted and well, it's quite interesting as a concept, full screen, streaming video, presented in a TV like way on your computer (apparently will run on AppleTV as well)
It's a snazzy looking application, although a little choppy on my 512 Meg MacBook (oh god do I need to upgrade my RAM!)
It gives you a selection of channels that you can scroll through (haven't tried my Apple Remote with it yet, but I will in a mo) such as XL Recordings, Channel Frederator, Alliance Sci-Fi and The Soccer Channel... just like Sky then?... um.... well no, but that's what they're aiming for eventually and they'll probably get there if they get the right hardware support, eg: a set top box (a-la Apple TV, but I can't see Apple going for it somehow), bear in mind the guys who made this founded Kazaa and more importantly Skype.
I think it's main stumbling point is currently content (from what i've seen so far), but at the same time they've immediatly got a good cross-genre selection; sport, entertainment, music, shorts. As far as I understand it, it's advertising supported, just like normal telly (except BBC and movie channels etc), I've seen one advert so far for Vodafone, and it looked like a foreign ad at that, so not sure how well that's going for them, but you have to remember this is only second phase of their public Beta.
It's main attack apart from steaming video is the "TV 2.0"
I think content wise, they could do with hooking up with Revision3 and CurrentTV as well as some of the other podcast producers out there, as well as trying to get the traditional broadcasters to sign on.
So... although the current crop of content leaves much to be desired, saying that there IS Total

Well Apple have relesed their 8 core MacPro (that's 8x 3GHz)
A realistic £3,517 will get me a nice MacPro base unit, alternatively any kind souls wishing to purchase for me, the £8,222 model I've just specced out is quite welcome to. :D

Interesting they spotted that Mine went dull and corroded as the lacquer failed and I have a comparatively new one on that I found on ebay.de a few years ago, so no leaks as yet. MOT, so you are in the UK. Have you tried on www.fccuk.org. There is a host of knowledge there and some great specialist who keep stocks of all sorts of stuff.
The parts catalogue should also help, but I could not find it (at work so not much time):
I will have a look later and get back to you if I find anything.
Good luck with the new car. They still turn heads
Hi Neil
Just been re reading a post in the s type forum on tyres when i noticed your comment re your Fiat coupe. I have just aquired a 97 20v which has been garaged for three years. I put it in for an MOT and it failed on just the fuel cap not sealing. After speaking to the previous owner it has failed on that before and replaced with a second hand one. To your knowlage is this seal an item that is replaceable.

It's au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, and arrivederci for George W. Bush during an eight-day final bow across Europe, starting with a European Union summit in Slovenia Tuesday.
During Mr. Bush's presidency, attitudes among America's main allies swung sharply pro then con – though now show some signs of a return to normalcy and a renewed recognition of the role the US plays in Europe and the West, many experts here say.
The trip takes place amid what one German official calls an "astounding" interest in the US presidential elections, and a palpable readiness for change at the top in Washington.
Goodbyes to Angela Merkel in Berlin, Silvio Berlusconi in Rome, and Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris, where Bush will push hard for help at a June 12 Afghan donor conference – will showcase Bush's newly affirmative relations with key heads of state here.
"The likelihood of major progress on any significant issue in play is pretty low," says Charles Kupchan of the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. "But US-European relations are coming around. If you told me three or even two years ago that Bush would go to Germany in 2008 and get a positive response, I wouldn't have believed it."
Bush touches down Tuesday in Germany, where Chancellor Merkel will host him for dinner at a small castle outside Berlin. For much of the past six years, nearly sacrosanct US-German relations were in low ebb. Though some 200,000 Germans rallied in support of the US at the famed Brandenburg Gate after 9/11, goodwill turned to disdain after the Iraq invasion. The problem went far past the image of America, to serious and widespread disagreement with US policy on the Continent.
It was what author and longtime Europe-watcher Elizabeth Pond termed the "near death" of the transatlantic alliance in her 2003 book.
Today, however, what appeared to be an "unbridgeable gap" has been replaced by "a spirit of calm, pragmatic cooperation," says Constanze Stelzenmuller of the German Marshall Fund in Berlin. In Europe there's a "rational realization that the areas of agreement are substantial, and that the Europeans and the Americans will often, but not always, need each other."
'The West needs US leadership'
The US elections, the crisis in Iraq and Afghanistan, and worry about chaos ranging from terrorism to natural disasters to financial markets has raised anew a discourse in Europe's political class about America's role. Says a longtime German insider, "The political class realizes the West needs US leadership, despite what protesters say. Even after the US screw-up in the Middle East they feel the US is needed there."
"Under [former Chancellor Gerhard] Schröder, you did hear about Europe as a counterweight to the US, but not now. Europe is too divided," says Henning Riecke of the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin. "The West is a phenomenon that only works with American leadership. We can't solve Kosovo, Iran, and the Middle East without Washington."
But whether America can lead affirmatively under the next administration, say many experts here, depends in part on the disposition in Washington on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Many Germans and Europeans are concerned about an immediate US withdrawal from Iraq. "Europeans want America to stay in Iraq until a withdrawal is possible without creating a further civil war ... We are a little concerned about a withdrawal leading to chaos," says Dr. Riecke.
A US foreign policy that is consultative and less "arrogant" – a main European criticism – is desired. Diplomatic sources say it would be extremely ameliorative for Bush while in Europe to admit mistakes as well as successes, and even to signal that no unilateral attack on Iran will take place. Europe's need for the US is pragmatic. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said this spring in an interview that "the magic is gone" in the European view of Washington, though other leaders have said this can change.
Bush's low-key whirlwind swan song contains few hard policy "deliverables," White House aides say. He will take up common interests. Along with the Afghan mission, Bush will push for European resolve on Iran's nuclear program, and help for Kosovo.
He's not expected, however, to offer new initiatives on climate change, a main European concern. Europeans want developed nations to take greater financial responsibility and initiative for emissions in nations like India and China; the White House, which has not altered its views ahead of a December summit in Poznan, Poland, desires more initiative in those states.
US credited for supporting E. Europe
Bush is seen as the least popular US president in modern Germany. US presidents from John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan to George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton are remembered for giving stirring speeches amid cheering throngs and flinging themselves into crowds to shake hands.
Bush has, partly due to increased security after 9/11, been in an isolated bubble, and his visits are discussed more in terms of interrupted traffic in large towns. In coverage of a 2006 speech in Stralsund, Germany, local media pointed out that the audience was preselected from out of town, and that locals were excluded. "It was a show like something out of the old East Germany," says one source.
One little-mentioned credit given here to the Bush policy on Europe is the friendly interest shown by the State Department to the new democracies of Eastern Europe. Initially, the issue got botched in Washington. Then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's terming of a "new Europe" (Poland, the Baltics, former Warsaw Pact states aiding in the war on terror) and an "old Europe" (mainly France and Germany, which questioned Washington on Iraq) was divisive.
"Rumsfeld's phrasing, playing off new and old, was absolutely divisive here," says Bastian Hermisson of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, a Green Party think tank. "But over time, the US valuing of Poland, the Czech Republic, the Baltics, made those states feel self-confident. It had the effect of shaking us up and making us aware that new states had their own interests and importance."
Europeans embrace Obama's hope
There's a widespread fascination here with the US presidential race – particularly the candidacy of Barack Obama, whose persona Europeans appear to adore. European foreign ministries are in touch with both McCain and Obama camps, sources say.
At a speech at Harvard, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier asked the audience rhetorically if the US and Europe can have better transatlantic relations, and then said, reiterating the Obama campaign mantra, "Yes, we can!"
"The interest in the US election is overwhelming," says Mr. Hermission. "And if it is a program on Obama, there are no empty seats. It makes me believe there is a desire in the public for a resurgence of what we call the 'good America.' There's hope in the response I see."

Belief...or fact?
>Belief...or fact?Since I know thousands of people keeping bees without treatments and they are not experiencing it, it is in my experience, an erroneous belief based on their experience keeping commercial stock on large cell comb.
2sox, out of curiosity, how long did you keep bees treatment free and how did the bees fare in general, both health- and winter survival-wise?
>Belief...or fact?Since I know thousands of people keeping bees without treatments
"It will be readily appreciated that in the course of many years and daily contact with bees, the professional bee-keeper will of necessity gain a knowledge and insight into the mysterious ways of the honeybee, usually denied to the scientist in the laboratory and the amateur in possession of a few colonies. Indeed, a limited practical experience will inevitably lead to views and conclusions, which are often completely at variance to the findings of a wide practical nature. The professional bee-keeper is at all times compelled to assess things realistically and to keep an open mind in regard to every problem he may be confronted with. He is also forced to base his methods of management on concrete results and must sharply differentiate between essentials and inessentials."--Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey, Brother Adam

Notre Dame Junior
40: 4.42
PROS: Has good speed and can challenge defenses vertically. Has good burst and gets a nice release because of it. An explosive runner with the ball with his hands, showing strength and power to break tackles and has nice vision as a runner when working out of the wildcat. Makes a quick move upfield and dangerous in space. Has good, strong hands. Does good job on the jump balls because of his leaping ability and strength to make the grab in traffic.
CONS: At times can be a lazy route-runner. Body catches way too much. Shows almost no serious interest in blocking. Has a tendency to dance too much as a return threat and will take chances looking for the big play. Doesn't always show the best ball security with the ball in his hands. Is passionate, but there are times where it can border on too passionate.
OVERVIEW: Really emerged as their go-to option on offense due to injury to Michael Floyd early in the year, and responded with 93 catches (16.1 avg) and 15 touchdowns as a receiver. Added 186 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 punt return for a score. Averaged 20.7 yards on 44 career kickoffs and 11.0 on 26 total punt returns.
NFL FORECAST: Tate is more of a good athlete playing receiver than a natural receiver. Which is to be understood since he played running back mainly in high school, and it shows when he gets the ball in his hands. He's a big play threat, but I'm not sure he's ever going to be reliable go-to receiver. Instead he would make a very nice complementary option and a stellar third option for an offense in the slot. He's a player like Percy Harvin that you want to give him opportunities to make plays whether that's in the wildcat, slot receiver, or on returns. And there is some thinking that because he's fairly new to the WR position, in time with good coaching he can learn. But I don't see him developing, and I don't see him ever as a go-to option. BUt as a complement he can be like Wes Welker, Percy Harvin, or Reggie Bush as a versatile option to have that can cause a ton of matchup issues when he's lining up against inferior corners and/or safeties.
ATL FORECAST: He is one of the few wideouts in this class that I think can be an upgrade over Douglas in the slot. He's not as natural a receiver as Douglas is, but he's a more explosive playmaker that is tough and fast that would be hard for a more polished player like Douglas to keep off the field because of his versatility to make plays from a variety of positions. I think he could evenutally develop as an outside option that could replace Jenkins as a No. 2, but initially he would be a third option. He would be a valuable asset that if he can be coached up can be an effective starter, although I'm not sure he's going to be a consistent weapon. He'll shine in Atlanta when he faces weaker No. 2 corners as Roddy draws more of the No. 1 guys. But the difficulty teams have with matching up with him would be a major boost to the offense because he can make teams pay for doubling Roddy, something Jenkins does not do.
VALUE: I see Tate as a second round pick, but I do think a team that already has steady, go-to options in the passing game looking for a complementary and situational weapon on offense could be smart to take him at the end of the first.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite

text: May 12, 2009 - Recent Quinnipiac Poll Shows Florida's Crist Is Strong Candidate For U.S. Senate Word format Peter A. brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, is available to discuss Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's decision to forsake a second term to run for the U.S. Senate next year. He begins that quest in very strong position, according to an April 15 Quinnipiac University poll showing 64 percent of Florida voters view him favorably, far, far ahead of any other candidate, Democrat or Republican. In a trial heat against other potential Republican candidates, the Governor gets 54 percent of the vote, while no other candidate does better than 8 percent. Florida voters had indicated that they prefer Crist run for reelection. "Gov. Crist's support appears to be both wide and deep. His 66 percent approval rating among Democrats is impressive and explains why he would be difficult to defeat in the general election. As for a primary, although some conservative activists have grown disillusioned with him, there is no evidence that unhappiness has spread to the GOP rank-and-file," said Brown.
