The first time I heard Yo-Yo Ma was on the episode of West Wing when his White House performance triggered Josh Lyman's PTSD. Obviously, this was a horrible first impression. It tainted my opinion of the cellist for nearly a decade. Recently, though, I've become rather fond of Mr. Ma. That fondness only multiplied when his new album, The Goat Rodeo Sessions, found its way into my hands. A "goat rodeo" is a situation where a thousand things must come together and go perfectly in order for it to work. The album, a collection of Americana/Bluegrass works, must have felt like exactly that when Ma sat down and began collaborating with bassist Edgar Meyer, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickle Creek), and fiddler Stuart Duncan. The album contains only one song with vocals, sung by vocalist Aoife O'Donovan (who sounds a lot like Alison Krauss).
The Goat Rodeo Sessions is available for purchase now, but on Jan. 31, music fans across the country will have the chance to see it performed live.
Deft local MC Buggs Tha Rocka, who balances his excellent solo work with performances and recordings with the group Gold Shoes, has become the first Hip Hop artist to participate in the ongoing "Emery Sessions," a series of excellent music videos, filmed in one-shot by world-class photographer Michael Wilson at the restored classic Cincinnati venue, The Emery Theatre. Audio was handled once again by local musicians Cameron Cochran and Henry Wilson.
The series not only celebrates local music but also showcases the grand old theatre, a century-old Cincinnati treasure that fell into disrepair but has recently returned to "active venue" status thanks to the work of The Requiem Project.
Buggs and DJ Ghost performed "Stephanie's Song" for their Session. Unlike previous clips (which have spotlighted a host of local artists, from Over the Rhine to Jeremy Pinnell and the 55s, as well as Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley and many others), Buggs and DJ Ghost don't perform on the theatre's stage, but in another nook and cranny elsewhere in the building.
"Stephanie's Song" is from Buggs Tha Rocka's fantastic The Wrath of Zeus mixtape, which is available for free download here.
Take a look at some of the other Emery Sessions here.
Music Tonight: Cleveland Art Punk band HotChaCha bring its dancey Post Punk rhythms and soulful melodies to Newport's Southgate House tonight, playing the club's Parlour room. The show is the fourth date on the Northern Ohio foursome's extensive nationwide run with eclectic upstate New York Indie septet Summer People (which has been compared to The Cramps and Nick Cave), promoting the two bands' split 12-inch EP release, Do It. The vinyl release is a limited edition, but in cyberspace, there are no limits, so give the EP a listen here.
Music Tonight: The Outlaw Country movement that emerged in the late '60s showcased, as the name suggests, a renegade sound that didn't pretty up Country for a Pop audience, instead keeping everything down and dirty, building a bridge between Country and Southern Rock that fed into the "AltCountry" trend of the past 20 or so years. That honest, raw approach has also been translated in modern times by artists whose rebellious side includes a hankering for muscular Heavy Metal. Beginning with David Allan Coe and Pantera's co-mingling, Hank Williams III has furthered the metallic side of Country in clubs across the world, mixing hard rockin' songs with more traditional Country, all delivered with the same timeless Punk Rock spirit. Hank III's guitar tech/tourmate Bob Wayne is another Heavy Outlaw purveyor and tonight he brings his ruckus (and his Outlaw Carnies) to the Southgate House's Parlour for a 9 p.m. show. Tickets are $10 at the door. Here's a clip of Wayne kickin' up dust to a shuffling beat and banjo to get you in the mood (NSFW, primarily for language).
Music This Saturday: In 2006, Fountain Square underwent a renovation, not only in a physical sense but also in the way the heart-of-the-city's space was used by citizens and visitors. The 3CDC group behind the refurbishment greatly expanded the number and quality of events presented on the Square. The biggest part of the expansion focused on live music events, so it made sense that, to celebrate the "reopening" of Fountain Square, several big-name artists performed at the relaunch celebration, including OK Go and Los Lobos. Kicking off the festivities was Hip Hop star Talib Kweli, who performed with Cincy breakout Hip Hop artist Hi-Tek. Saturday, Talib is back for another free performance on the Square, this time as part of the every-Saturday "Slam!" concert series, organized by local promo crew Self Diploma.
The Cincinnati natives of hugely popular Brooklyn-based Indie Rock band The National have recorded a song for the upcoming soundtrack for the second season of HBO's critically-acclaimed series, Game of Thrones. The soundtrack is due June 19. The National is the only group featured; the rest of the soundtrack album is the instrumental score, written by Ramin Djawadi and recorded by the Czech Film Orchestra and Choir.
According to Spin, the band members took the words from Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin's 2000 novel, A Storm of Swords. Check it out below.
On this day 18 years ago, Kurt Cobain decided he was done with life and ended it with a single shotgun blast to the head. While it's fun to play the "What if?" game with brilliant artists who died too soon — like, "Would John Lennon have followed Yoko's lead to become a Dance music superstar?" or "Would James Dean be doing stereotypical 'cool old guy' roles today if he was still around?" — it is, of course, a pointless exercise.
But crystal-ball wonderings of a person who actually knew the artist? That's at least a little more interesting. Spin has a piece this morning about the vague musings of Cobain's widow, musician/actress Courtney Love, in an interview a year ago with Mark Yarm, author of Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge. Love told Yarm, "We'd probably live on the Upper West fuckin' Side now and have three fuckin' kids. We might even have a divorce, like both be on our third marriage. I don't fuckin' know. He might be a playwright, (or have) his latest show in MoMA." (Read more here and check out the links featuring other Cobain remembrances.)
I like to think the couple would have starred in a really bad Everybody Loves Raymond-type sitcom on CBS. But mostly I wish Cobain would have stuck it out. As they say a lot nowadays, "It gets better."
I was lucky enough to see Nirvana a couple of times before Kurt made that impossible — once at Shorty's, the tiny subterranean club on Short Vine in Corryville, with about 50 people in attendance and once at Dayton's Hara Arena (see: poster above) with … quite a bit more people in attendance. Both shows were memorable. I think I got kicked out of Shorty's because some guy wanted to stab me that night (long story). (Nirvana played a few times in our area in those get-in-the-van-and-go, pre-stardom days, including a show at Clifton Heights bar Murphy's Pub. They were scheduled to play with the great AmRep band The Cows at the Top Hat in Newport but their van allegedly broke down on their way. I remember it well 'cause this local band opened up.)
In Dayton (memorable in hindsight because Cobain would be dead within a year), Kurt thought former drummer Chad Channing (who lived in Ohio then) was in the audience. The band called for Channing to come up and play "School" with them, but he never showed. Turns out, he wasn't there.
The band did play "School" later in the set and dedicated it to Channing. Check out the audio below.

First let me say that I'm not what you would call a huge Olympics fan. This isn't an essay on sports. I'll tune in occasionally for things like basketball, soccer and Brazilian women's beach volleyball (LOTS of Brazilian women's beach volleyball), but it's hardly Must-See-TV for me every four years. If I had more patience, I'd probably watch more — but researching how the scoring works in water polo (and where they hide their horses) kind of takes the fun out of things.
I do love the drama of sports. I grew up the music nerd who didn't like sports because it was for jocks. My stance softened thanks to the 1999 Cincinnati Reds. Living just a few blocks away from the old Cinergy Field, I probably went to 50 home games that year — paid five bucks for a cheap "Top 6" seat (before they'd stop you from moving closer if there were open seats, which there usually were). Some of the dramatics of that season (cut short by a devastating one game playoff loss to the Mets) re-made me into the sports fan I was as a 10 year old.
The way drama in sports moved me reminded me (and still does) of the way music moves me. Though quite different experiences (sports is "thrill of victory/agony of defeat" exciting, while music moves me to my very core, caresses my heart, soothes my pain, gets me pumped up, etc.), they both give me a somewhat similar tingle in my brain.
As this year's Olympics progressed, I began to notice a lot of complaints about NBC's "tape delayed" coverage, whereby the network would hold back all the key, shining (mostly American athlete-oriented) moments for its prime-time broadcast. Of course, as pretty much every person with the ability to communicate online noted, this meant hearing that, say, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt just made Olympic history … then turning on NBC to hear "tune in at 9 p.m. to find out how!"
Anyone with access to a radio, TV with channels other than NBC, a computer, smartphone or an excitable Olympics superfan BFF usually found out what happened up to 10 hours ahead of time. In some ways, I felt bad for the piling-on of NBC's Olympic events coverage. I mean, they did broadcast hours upon hours of live footage from London on their multiple Olympics platforms (iPad apps, Android apps, websites, additional channels, etc.).
But some people are busy, work strenuous jobs (without access to the aforementioned fancy devices) and want to come home, have some dinner, maybe smoke a doobie and THEN see what happened earlier at the Olympics. I'd be curious if anyone was actually able to avoid all spoilers — every time someone won a medal, I received a "news update" alert on my smartphone or would find out instantly on a British news website or within my Twitter or Facebook feed.
So I cut NBC the slightest of slack for fouling up some of the tape-delayed broadcast decisions (but there was no excuse for promoting Today show interviews with "new gold medalists" right before viewers actually saw said gold medalist win the top prize, something NBC did multiple times). If you really wanted to see an event live, you could do so.
The same can be said for the Closing Ceremonies, which streamed live on the Olympics many media platforms. But when it came time for editing it all down to a tight two-and-a-half hour or so prime-time broadcast, NBC had to cut some material out of the Closing Ceremony to make it fit and leave room for McDonald's and Coke commercials.
During the Opening Ceremonies, NBC shamefully cut away to show Ryan Seacrest interview Michael Phelps instead of airing the ceremony's tribute to the 52 victims of the July 7, 2005, terrorist attacks in London.
There's editing for time and then there's just rude ethnocentrism. If New York City hosted the Olympics and the BBC cut away from the broadcast to show Simon Cowell interview legendary British track cyclist Chris Hoy, I wouldn't be shocked if the U.S. immediately began discussions about when to start the bombing of London.
Thankfully, nothing quite that insensitive occurred during the Closing Ceremonies.
The Closing Ceremonies piqued my interest the most of all of the Olympic happenings, mostly because I'm a proud Anglophile when it comes to music. Of my favorite artists ever, I'd be shocked if half weren't from the U.K. (if not more).
So I was fairly excited when I heard that the Closing Ceremonies would be titled "A Symphony of British Music" (look, you can already buy a CD) and focus primarily on England's greatest export, alongside comedy (which was spotlighted cleverly in both the opening and closing events) and Cadbury Creme Eggs. (I was only "fairly" excited because these things can often be cheesier than a Super Bowl halftime show with Up With People)
I had a slightly busy Sunday (well, busy enough that I couldn't watch stuff on TV or online all day), so I checked a handful of performances from the Olympics live stream, figuring I'd be able to catch the whole thing later.
There were some great moments. The John Lennon/"Imagine" salute was touching in a pure, unforced and restrained manner (not much else was, but that's not what ceremonial, once-in-the-lifetime, music-driven ragers should be about, especially in London).
It was interesting to see athletes from other countries singing along to Oasis' biggest hit, "Wonderwall," in seemingly their own languages (not sure how Noel Gallagher felt about his little bro's band Beady Eye playing it, though; Noel did turn down a chance to participate).
The unfussy cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" was serviceable, but gets bonus points for bridging a generational gap by bringing together hot new singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran and RIchard Jones from young Brit band The Feeling with PInk Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford.
Meanwhile, the only thing missing from Eric Idle's perfectly nonsensical performance of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was a chorus line of singers nailed to crucifixes (a la Monty Python's Life of Brian, the film in which it first appeared).
And, cheesy as it may have been, Freddie Mercury (in video projection/hologram-ish form) leading the stadium through a chant proved he is STILL the best frontman in Rock, even in death.
There were also, as is to be excepted, several cringe worthy moments.
The Spice Girls were a big deal for a few minutes, but did they deserve to perform more than one song at a global event like the Olympics? What exactly did they give the world besides a lady-friend for one of the planet's (former) greatest soccer players? I know, I know — it was a "rare" reunion (though it feels like they have "rare reunions" ever six months or so). I kept hoping for a five-olde-timey-taxi pile-up as they zoomed around the performance area at seemingly dangerous speeds.
Singer Jessie J must now be bigger than Princess Diana in the U.K., because she was able to perform multiple songs as well, like her big hit "Price Tag," showing the U.K.'s contribution to crappy Pop music, and "We Will Rock You" with Roger Taylor and Brian May, presumably because Paul Rodgers either wasn't available, passed away recently or refused to wear a nude, bedazzled unitard.
Ms. J also jammed with the artists during the segment where the London Olympics showed the world that there are indeed black people in the U.K., though Taio Cruz and Tinie Tempah are essentially carbon-copies of crappy American R&B/Pop singer/rappers. They did do a fun, mercifully short cover of the Bee Gees's "You Should Be Dancing," which probably pumped up views of the Bee Gees' Wikipedia page thanks to all of us who could have sworn the trio was from Australia (they were born in the U.K., moved to Australia, then back to the England where their career kicked off in earnest … in case you don't get Wikipedia).
There were a few glaring omissions from the parade of British Music stars, but the ceremony director gets a pass for that. How do you fit a century of music into three hours? Still, I could have done with seeing The Cure play (anything but "Killing an Arab") or New Order do a Joy Division/New Order mini-set or even Def Leppard (at least!) representing the influential New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement in lieu of Russell Brand singing a Willy Wonka tune and miming "I Am the Walrus."
And, hey, remember how Britain co-invented Punk Rock? Beside awkwardly copping "London Calling" as a sort of unofficial anthem (before people apparently listened to the lyrics) and a mention of designer Vivienne Westwood, Punk Rock wasn't very big in the U.K., I guess. And Fatboy Slim apparently invented the British rave scene and U.K. dance music (while living inside a giant inflatable octopus).
Finally, in the spirit of mixing British humor and music, it would have been hilarious if George Michael would have appeared with former Wham! mate Andrew Ridgeley clasped around his leg ("I let go once — never again!").
The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, Kate Bush and others reportedly turned down invites to be involved in the ceremony, though at least most were given props during the ceremony (Bowie's "Fashion" soundtracked the tribute to British fashion through the years, while a remix of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" was used as the music for a dazzling dance number spotlighting the tune).
The biggest blunder of the Closing Ceremonies, though, came once again courtesy of NBC's prime time broadcast.
I'm an editor and I understand that sometimes you can't fit every single thing you want into the tiny box given to you; tough calls must be made sometimes.
But what network exec's 14-year-old niece was given control over the U.S. broadcast's final cut on NBC? Whoever made the tough decisions made a few seriously bad ones and the internet has been screaming about how much it SUCKED ever since.
The Kate Bush-soundtracked performance was cut, but I get that. Kate's not a household name in the States. I caught rockers Muse — who wrote and recorded the official song of this year's Olympics, "Survival" — and can forgive that one too — their performance was a bit lackluster and the song has an oddly ominous tone, like something Mussolini would have commissioned had the Olympics ever come to Italy during his reign.
Ray Davies' performance might have been spared if he'd playing "You Really Got Me" or some other U.S. FM radio staple. But Davies could play nothing but his gorgeous ode to London, "Waterloo Sunset," because it was the perfect time and place for the beloved British hit to be performed.
(Click ahead to the 1:35 mark to see it, until NBC removes it)
When I realized NBC cut "Waterloo Sunset," that's when my head-cocked bemusement turned to "WTF!" annoyance. A peek at the internet revealed I was not alone (I think the Davies cut was the hardest for most true Rock fans to take).
That is, until the end of the broadcast.
The absolute worst cut from NBC's primetime broadcast was the deletion of The Who, the perfect British band to provide a grand finale. If you were watching live, you saw the extinguishing of the Olympic flame and then, while Bob Costas was allowed to blather on about nothing over the allotted air time a day or two earlier, causing the show to "run over," Costas signed off with a very quick, "We'll be back from Olympic Stadium in about an hour for the London closing party featuring The Who. But stay tuned now for a full episode of Animal Practice, the new NBC comedy presented commercial free."
The network switched over to Monkey Doctor (or whatever it's called) and then followed it with local news.
THEN The Who's impressive eight-minute medley — touching on proudly anthemic and quite British tunes like "My Generation" — was allegedly aired, an hour after prime-time programming had ended. Pete, Roger and their ringers kicked things off with "Baba O'Reily," with its perfectly dramatic, almost always spine-tingling opening keyboard riff, which would have made a perfect segue way from the flame being put out. Instead — Hospitals for Monkeys (or whatever it was called), commercial free!
I left NBC as soon as Marcus Monkeypants MD started and ultimately fell asleep, mumbling to myself about how I'll never watch another episode of America's Got Talent or something like that. Then I spent today looking up what I missed on YouTube and other sites … when available. There was some good footage posted for a few minutes, but NBC and the Olympics yanked them faster than Fred Willard in a movie theater.
The nbcolympics.com site DID have The Who segment up by this evening. But they called "Baba O'Riley" by its not-actual-title, "Teenage Wasteland."
See — 14-year-olds are running NBC!
Ultimately, it's not that big of a deal — today there was another sad, tragic, inexplicable shooting in public near Texas A&M University. We STILL have not seen what Paul Ryan's abs look like. And NBC says the Olympic games were the most watched in history; one ad exec went so far as to suggest the high ratings in the U.S. were BECAUSE of the weird tape-delay approach. It created excitement (not hair-pulling-out frustration?).
So keep it in perspective and start getting ready for the 2016 Olympic games in Brazil. I'm already plotting how to watch it all as it should be watched — on a live stream, on Brazilian TV or in person (CityBeat, I'm volunteering my services). Because you just know NBC is going to shoot 90% of it from "above the waist." Some of those amazing booties over there are definitely NSF-NBC.
Music Tonight: We usually (always) give suggestions for live music to check out in this space, but today, we're telling you to go to the movies. But there's still quite a "live music" component. For one night only, the never-before-seen concert flick Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live in Texas is being screened at movie theaters across the country. The film features footage from a July, 1978, concert in Fort Worth, Texas, during the band's tour for Some Girls (which featured hits like "Shattered," "Miss You" and "Beast of Burden"). The movie screens locally at the Deerfield Towne Center theater and the Springdale Showcase Cinemas at 7:30 p.m. tonight. The special screening also includes a recent 20-minute interview with Mick Jagger about the concert and era. The film will be released on DVD on Nov. 21. Below is a trailer for the film and rehearsal footage from the band's appearance later in '78 on Saturday Night Live, performing Some Girls track "Respectable."

Just what we need, another steroids story...The son of a Yankees senior vice president pleaded guilty to attempted steroid distribution charges in 2002 as part of a federal investigation into a date-rape drug, according to public records from Tampa police and Hillsborough County Court.
Felix M. Lopez III, the son of George Steinbrenner's son-in-law Felix M. Lopez Jr., was charged with trafficking illegal steroids in 2002, a first-degree felony that was punishable by up to life in prison. Lopez III, 30, cut a plea deal in which he received three years of probation for pleading guilty to possession with intent, which is a second-degree felony, according to Hillsborough County Court records.
Edited to add: Although the charges date back to 2002, this is appearing on Newsday's site today.

Jessie J
JESSIE J is planning to tattoo her head once shes shaved her hair off for Comic Relief.
The bonkers singer, 24, has even decided on a design for the ink, saying: I want something like a heart, so it will remind me that I did it for charity.
Meanwhile, Jessie is daring the One Direction boys to be the ones who shave her barnet next month as she reckons they might have a fetish for doing it.
She said: My hairdresser and I are shaving it off at the moment and Im excited.
But I think we should get one of the One Direction boys to do it instead. That might be a fantasy for some people!
No doubt Harry Styles,19, wont need asking twice.

It may be hard to bottle this place, but we do it every day.
In North Carolina, you're never far from fresh local beer and people who love to talk about ales, lagers, porters, stouts and the seasonal experiment the brewmaster has on tap. The heady aroma of malted barley, bitter hops and fermenting yeast wafts from 60-plus brewpubs and production breweries – more than any other Southern state – in big cities, coastal villages, mountain towns and rural communities. Their tantalizing variety and award-winning quality earn the state an esteemed place in the world of craft brewing. Sample the unique flavors of the state's craft beer during NC Beer Month once a year in April.
North Carolina is home to more brewpubs and breweries than any other Southern state
In 2012, Asheville rose to the top of examiner.com's BeerCity USA poll for the fourth consecutive year. Home to 11 breweries and three beer festivals, the Western North Carolina city also ranks among the "24 greatest cities in the world for drinking beer" according to Gadling, the world's top travel blog. Asheville even boasts an informative Brews Cruise, which takes guests on guided tours to some of the city's microbreweries.
When you lift a pint to toast to North Carolina's abundant breweries, you'll have plenty of interesting choices. Celebrate with Gaelic Ale from Highland Brewing Company or Fiddlehead Extra Pale Ale from Green Man Brewery in Asheville. Tipple some Belgian-Style Strong Golden Ale from Triangle Brewing in Durham, Ruby Lager from Olde Hickory Brewery in Hickory or Corolla Gold Beer from Weeping Radish Farm Brewery in Jarvisburg.
Try a dark-as-night Jumpin' Bean Coffee Stout from Carolina Brewery in Chapel Hill, a thirst-quenching Ölsch Pale Ale from the wind-powered Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills, an award-winning Southbound Stout from Boylan Bridge Brewpub in Raleigh or a fruity Endless River Kolsch-Style Ale from Mother Earth Brewing in Kinston.
Sebastian Wolfrum, a co-founder of the North Carolina Brewers Guild and director of brewing operations at Natty Greene's Pub & Brewing Co. in Greensboro, anticipates there will be more than 50 breweries in the state soon and a growing reputation worldwide.
"North Carolina beers win awards regularly at the Great American Beer Festival in Colorado and at the World Beer Cup®," he says. "In the next few years, some beer styles will be defined by us," Wolfrum says.
Other North Carolina breweries making names for themselves include Natty Greene's (enjoy the Buckshot Amber Ale); Winston-Salem's Foothills Brewing (try the Pilot Mountain Pale Ale); Wilmington's Front Street Brewery (get a chocolaty Dram Tree Scottish Ale); Farmville's Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery (don't miss the Milk Stout); and Durham's Fullsteam Brewery (whose Hogwash Hickory-Smoked Porter pairs well with hickory-smoked barbecue).
Fullsteam founder Sean Lilly Wilson, who led the group Pop the Cap in lobbying for laws allowing craft brewing in the state, sees a steadily expanding culture of handcrafted beer enthusiasts.
"People appreciate fresh, local, innovative brews," he says. "They get interested in what's on tap from week to week. That's what attracts them to brewpubs in the first place, and it's what keeps them coming back for more."
Sample regional favorites at one of many annual events, such as the World Beer Festival in Durham, and visit the North Carolina Brewers Guild to learn more about local beer and its community of brewers, wholesalers, retailers and enthusiasts.

Like the other Kerf-Starters, it removes a shaving the same way other scrapers remove shavings, leaving a shallow kerf that captures your saw. Use the Kerf-Starter with a square to layout square lines across end grain and with the long grain. You may also use it to layout one part of a joint from another as in laying out dovetail pins from already-cut tails (offset the tail piece to keep the kerf in the waste see our Offset-Gauge). Prepare the Kerf-Starter the same way you would prepare any other scraper, filing and then burnishing the point (see our combination Scraper File-Burnisher).

Leap Day marked the arrival of the new Facebook format – Timeline - for brands. Yes, Timeline has been available to individual consumers for a few months, but at the end of March, all Pages will be required to make the switch. For brands, the change is much more important.
For the first time ever, Facebook will be addressing the problem that haunts the dreams of so many social media marketers: The Death of the Important Facebook Post. How, you ask? Timeline cleverly allows brands to extend the "shelf-life" of their Facebook announcements by utilizing the super easy scroll-through setup. Now, users can seamlessly browse a brand's entire Facebook "life." Timeline does this ALL while alerting the user of important "milestones." This layout creates a storytelling feel, much like a user reading the book from beginning to end, rather than just being presented with current information. What's more, brands are able to integrate, chronologically, histories and stories that predate the existence of Facebook.
Timeline is more about design and visual experience than Facebook Pages have ever been in the past. Some are calling it a "digital canvas" that allows for more creativity. Wisely taking a cue from Pinterest and Twitter's new enhanced profiles, Timeline allows brands to "pin" posts so that they appear in the top-left area of the page for seven days, guiding the users' eyes to the headlines and information that marketers deem top priority. All of these new features limit the obstructiveness of advertising by allowing the consumer to feel a more genuine connection with the brands that they follow.
The layout also makes it easier for Page administrators to view notifications, messages, analytics, and edit content. Brands are provided with a more comprehensive breakdown of activity and demographics than ever before (age, cities, high traffic times, etc.).
But even with all these innovative features, there are some mixed reviews about Timeline. Some experts caution that if brands do not understand how to manage all of the new content options, hide posts that reflect badly on the brand and guide users to see relevant content, they will not benefit from the new format whatsoever.
Timeline is available to Facebook Pages now and will be mandated on March 30th. While the inevitable use of Timeline may be a nuisance to individual Facebook users who may see it as a stalker's dream tool, Timeline will prove to be a dream social media platform for brands if they enthusiastically pursue the new marketing options enabled by Timeline's content management features.

Sweet potatoes grown in South Carolina are now beginning to arrive in local grocery stores and farmers markets. These tasty potatoes are exceptionally good for you.
All ages enjoy sweet potatoes because of the flavor. It's an added bonus, however, that the potatoes pack in more than twice the amount of vitamin A needed by an adult each day. Plus, they contain a generous amount of vitamin C, iron and thiamin.
Sweet potatoes pair well with lots flavors.
Try one of these healthy add-ins for variety at your dinner table:
• Pecans or walnuts
• Cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg
• Orange juice or pineapple juice
• Raisins or dried cranberries soaked in apple juice
It's a great idea to purchase extra sweet potatoes while they are in season and on sale so you can use the extras later. But knowing how to store them is essential. Steer clear of the refrigerator. Exposure to temperatures below 50 degrees will create off flavors and cause the flesh to deteriorate quickly.
The laundry room and under the kitchen sink are poor storage locations, too. If the potatoes become too warm and moist, they become spongy and develop sprouts.
The best location to store sweet potatoes is a cool, dry space. So look for place such as the pantry shelf away from any type of heat source. Properly stored sweet potatoes purchased from the supermarket can last up to six months.
For longer storage, consider freezing sweet potatoes. Here's how: Wash and trim the potatoes of any blemishes. Place several potatoes on a baking sheet, prick the skin and cook in a 400 degrees oven until soft.
Cool and wrap individually in aluminum foil. Drop the wrapped potatoes in a freezer bag and place them in the freezer until they are needed later on.
When you are ready to eat the potatoes or use them in a recipe, simply remove as many as desired from the freezer, discard the aluminum foil and reheat in the microwave.
They can be served whole, sliced, or they can be mashed for soufflé, pie or custard.

Definition of Nerve, third cranialNerve, third cranial: The third cranial nerve is the oculomotor nerve. The cranial nerves emerge from or enter the skull (the cranium), as opposed to the spinal nerves which emerge from the vertebral column. There are twelve cranial nerves. The oculomotor nerve is responsible for the nerve supply to muscles about the eye:
Paralysis of the oculomotor nerve results in drooping eyelid (ptosis), deviation of the eyeball outward (and therefore double vision) and a dilated (wide-open) pupil.

College football: BCS standings set up semifinal in SEC title game
NEW YORK (AP) — Two years before the playoffs start in college football, the Southeastern Conference is staging a semifinal to determine who plays Notre Dame in the BCS title game.
Alabama (.9236) was second and Georgia (.8911) third in the BCS standings released Sunday. The Crimson Tide and Bulldogs play Saturday in Atlanta for the SEC championship.
The winner will advance to the national championship game in Miami on Jan. 7 against the Fighting Irish (.9979), who locked up their spot Saturday with a 22-13 victory against Southern California.
"If you think about what the game means, this that and the other, it doesn't really help you win the game," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "The only thing that helps you win the game is preparation and getting your mind ready to go to battle. That's what you've got to do."
Florida (.8882) is fourth in the standings, but with no games left, looks stuck behind their SEC rivals. The good news for the Gators is they are likely to get an at-large BCS bid to the Sugar Bowl, while the SEC runner-up is out of the big games all together.
"For either one of these teams, it's not really a great scenario," Alabama coach Nick Saban said.
One way or another, the SEC will get a shot at its seventh straight BCS championship.
The Bowl Championship Series is in its second-to-last season. It will be replaced by a four-team playoff in 2014.
While the race for the BCS title game is now fairly straight forward heading into championship weekend in college football, there's some intrigue to watch for involving potential BCS busters.
Kent State is 17th in the standings and Northern Illinois is 21st. They'll meet in the Mid-American Conference championship game on Friday night in Detroit. Continued...
Because it is almost a certainty that the Big East champion — Louisville and Rutgers will determine who that is on Thursday night in New Jersey — will be ranked behind the MAC champion in the final BCS standings, if either Kent State or NIU can get into the top 16, they would receive an automatic BCS bid. The MAC has never sent a team to the BCS.
Neither Louisville nor Rutgers is in the BCS top 25 this week.
Boise State from the Mountain West is 20th in the standings and also still in the mix for that BCS buster bid if it can jump ahead of the MAC teams and into the first 16. The Broncos play Nevada on Saturday to earn a share of the MW title.
The team that could be hurt most if a BCS buster emerges is Oklahoma. The Sooners are sitting 11th in the standings with a game left against TCU. With another victory, they would seem to be in good shape to get into the BCS even if Kansas State clinches the Big 12 by beating Texas.
But that at-large spot could get gobbled up by a BCS buster.
Other BCS automatic bids will be determined this weekend in the Pac-12, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference.
UCLA plays at Stanford in the Pac-12 title game with the winner going to the Rose Bowl.
Wisconsin and Nebraska will play for the Big Ten's Rose Bowl berth.
Florida State and Georgia Tech play for the ACC title and a spot in the Orange Bowl.
Oregon is fifth in the latest standings, and like Florida, done with its regular season and in good shape to receive an at-large BCS bid.

Russia coach Kingsley Jones is relishing the chance for his side to showcase their skills when they face the USA and Canada in Colwyn Bay.
Russia are one of five international teams taking part in the IRB International Rugby Series at Eirias Park in North Wales.
In a double header on Friday, Samoa take on Canada before Russia tackle the USA, and the following weekend Tonga play the Eagles followed by Russia's second tournament outing against Canada.
"Along with Romania, Russia is usually classed just behind the likes of Fiji, Canada and the USA, so we really need to get some results against the USA and Canada in Colwyn Bay over the next couple of weeks in order to try to climb the rankings," said Jones.
"Our Rugby World Cup qualification starts in earnest in the New Year, so while I've experimented with a large number of players during the past 12 months, we're bringing our best available players to Wales to really try and make a mark.
"It's fantastic from a personal point of view to be playing some international games in Wales.
"We would love to play some home Tests in one of our rugby heartlands - Siberia, Moscow or Krasnyabor, but the weather prevents that, so for me, playing in Wales is certainly the next best thing and I hope the people of North Wales will come out and support the team in red - Russia!
"During my time with Sale Sharks, we regularly played at Eirias Park with the A side so I'm looking forward to going back there.
"It's the end of the domestic season so while it's great to have them together as a squad, it's important to keep them fresh for the challenges ahead over the coming fortnight."

World Shale Gas Resources: An Initial Assessment of 14 Regions Outside the United States
Release date: April 5, 2011
The use of horizontal drilling in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing has greatly expanded the ability of producers to profitably produce natural gas from low permeability geologic formations, particularly shale formations. Application of fracturing techniques to stimulate oil and gas production began to grow rapidly in the 1950s, although experimentation dates back to the 19th century. Starting in the mid-1970s, a partnership of private operators, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Gas Research Institute (GRI) endeavored to develop technologies for the commercial production of natural gas from the relatively shallow Devonian (Huron) shale in the Eastern United States. This partnership helped foster technologies that eventually became crucial to producing natural gas from shale rock, including horizontal wells, multi-stage fracturing, and slick-water fracturing.1 Practical application of horizontal drilling to oil production began in the early 1980s, by which time the advent of improved downhole drilling motors and the invention of other necessary supporting equipment, materials, and technologies, particularly downhole telemetry equipment, had brought some applications within the realm of commercial viability.2
The advent of large-scale shale gas production did not occur until Mitchell Energy and Development Corporation experimented during the 1980s and 1990s to make deep shale gas production a commercial reality in the Barnett Shale in North-Central Texas. As the success of Mitchell Energy and Development became apparent, other companies aggressively entered this play so that by 2005, the Barnett Shale alone was producing almost half a trillion cubic feet per year of natural gas. As natural gas producers gained confidence in the ability to profitably produce natural gas in the Barnett Shale and confirmation of this ability was provided by the results from the Fayetteville Shale in North Arkansas, they began pursuing other shale formations, including the Haynesville, Marcellus, Woodford, Eagle Ford and other shales.
The development of shale gas plays has become a "game changer" for the U.S. natural gas market. The proliferation of activity into new shale plays has increased dry shale gas production in the United States from 0.39 trillion cubic feet in 2000 to 4.80 trillion cubic feet in 2010, or 23 percent of U.S. dry gas production. Wet shale gas reserves have increased to about 60.64 trillion cubic feet by year-end 2009, when they comprised about 21 percent of overall U.S. natural gas reserves, now at the highest level since 1971.3
The growing importance of U.S. shale gas resources is also reflected in EIA's Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) energy projections, with technically recoverable U.S. shale gas resources now estimated at 862 trillion cubic feet. Given a total natural gas resource base of 2,543 trillion cubic feet in the AEO2011 Reference case, shale gas resources constitute 34 percent of the domestic natural gas resource base represented in the AEO2011 projections and 44 percent of lower 48 onshore resources. As a result, shale gas is the largest contributor to the projected growth in production, and by 2035 shale gas production accounts for 46 percent of U.S. natural gas production.
The successful investment of capital and diffusion of shale gas technologies has continued into Canadian shales as well. In response, several other countries have expressed interest in developing their own nascent shale gas resource base, which has lead to questions regarding the broader implications of shale gas for international natural gas markets. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has received and responded to numerous requests over the past three years for information and analysis regarding domestic and international shale gas. EIA's previous work on the topic has begun to identify the importance of shale gas on the outlook for natural gas.4 It appears evident from the significant investments in preliminary leasing activity in many parts of the world that there is significant international potential for shale gas that could play an increasingly important role in global natural gas markets.
To gain a better understanding of the potential of international shale gas resources, EIA commissioned an external consultant, Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI), to develop an initial set of shale gas resource assessments. This paper briefly describes key results, the report scope and methodology and discusses the key assumptions that underlie the results. The full consultant report prepared for EIA is in Attachment A. EIA anticipates using this work to inform other analysis and projections, and to provide a starting point for additional work on this and related topics.
Scope and Results
In total, the report assessed 48 shale gas basins in 32 countries, containing almost 70 shale gas formations. These assessments cover the most prospective shale gas resources in a select group of countries that demonstrate some level of relatively near-term promise and for basins that have a sufficient amount of geologic data for resource analysis. Figure 1 shows the location of these basins and the regions analyzed. The map legend indicates four different colors on the world map that correspond to the geographic scope of this initial assessment:
- Red colored areas represent the location of assessed shale gas basins for which estimates of the 'risked' gas-in-place and technically recoverable resources were provided.
- Yellow colored area represents the location of shale gas basins that were reviewed, but for which estimates were not provided, mainly due to the lack of data necessary to conduct the assessment.
- White colored countries are those for which at least one shale gas basin was considered for this report.
- Gray colored countries are those for which no shale gas basins were considered for this report.
Although the shale gas resource estimates will likely change over time as additional information becomes available, the report shows that the international shale gas resource base is vast. The initial estimate of technically recoverable shale gas resources in the 32 countries examined is 5,760 trillioncubic feet, as shown in Table 1. Adding the U.S. estimate of the shale gas technically recoverable resources of 862 trillion cubic feet results in a total shale resource base estimate of 6,622 trillion cubic feet for the United States and the other 32 countries assessed. To put this shale gas resource estimate in some perspective, world proven reserves5of natural gas as of January 1, 2010 are about 6,609 trillion cubic feet,6 and world technically recoverable gas resources are roughly 16,000 trillion cubic feet,7largely excluding shale gas. Thus, adding the identified shale gas resources to other gas resources increases total world technically recoverable gas resources by over 40 percent to 22,600 trillion cubic feet.
The estimates of technically recoverable shale gas resources for the 32 countries outside of the United States represents a moderately conservative 'risked' resource for the basins reviewed. These estimates are uncertain given the relatively sparse data that currently exist and the approach the consultant has employed would likely result in a higher estimate once better information is available. The methodology is outlined below and described in more detail within the attached report, and is not directly comparable to more detailed resource assessments that result in a probabilistic range of the technically recoverable resource. At the current time, there are efforts underway to develop more detailed shale gas resource assessments by the countries themselves, with many of these assessments being assisted by a number of U.S. federal agencies under the auspices of the Global Shale Gas Initiative (GSGI) which was launched in April 2010.8
Delving deeper into the results at a country level, there are two country groupings that emerge where shale gas development may appear most attractive. The first group consists of countries that are currently highly dependent upon natural gas imports, have at least some gas production infrastructure, and their estimated shale gas resources are substantial relative to their current gas consumption. For these countries, shale gas development could significantly alter their future gas balance, which may motivate development. Examples of countries in this group include France, Poland, Turkey, Ukraine, South Africa, Morocco, and Chile. In addition, South Africa's shale gas resource endowment is interesting as it may be attractive for use of that natural gas as a feedstock to their existing gas-to-liquids (GTL) and coal-to-liquids (CTL) plants.

The second group consists of those countries where the shale gas resource estimate is large (e.g., above 200 trillion cubic feet) and there already exists a significant natural gas production infrastructure for internal use or for export. In addition to the United States, notable examples of this group include Canada, Mexico, China, Australia, Libya, Algeria, Argentina, and Brazil. Existing infrastructure would aide in the timely conversion of the resource into production, but could also lead to competition with other natural gas supply sources. For an individual country the situation could be more complex.
This report represents EIA's initial effort to produce a systematic assessment of the international shale gas resource base and contains chapters on the 14 priority regions identified by EIA for initial study, including 32 countries. These priority regions were selected for a combination of factors that included potential availability of data, country-level natural gas import dependence, observed large shale basins, and observations of activities by companies and governments directed at shale gas development.
The 14 regions and 32 countries covered in the report are:
- Canada
- Mexico
- Northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela)
- Southern South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil)
- Central North Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya)
- Western North Africa (Morocco, Mauritania, Western Sahara)
- Southern Africa (South Africa)
- Western Europe (including, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom)
- Poland
- Ukraine, Lithuania and other Eastern Europe countries
- China
- India and Pakistan
- Turkey
- Australia
Russia and Central Asia, Middle East, South East Asia, and Central Africa were not addressed by the current report. This was primarily because there was either significant quantities of conventional natural gas reserves noted to be in place (i.e., Russia and the Middle East), or because of a general lack of information to carry out even an initial assessment. In addition, certain limitations in scope reflected funding constraints.
The consultant's approach relied upon publically available data from technical literature and studies on each of the selected international shale gas basins to first provide an estimate of the 'risked gas in-place,' and then to estimate the technically recoverable resource for that region. This methodology is intended to make the best use of sometimes scant data in order to perform initial assessments of this type.
Risked Gas In-Place
The risked gas in-place estimate is derived by first estimating the amount of 'gas in-place' resource for a prospective area within the basin, and then de-rating that gas in-place by factors that, in the consultant's expert judgment, account for the current level of knowledge of the resource and the capability of the technology to eventually tap into the resource. The resulting estimate is referred to as the risked gas in-place.
- Conduct a preliminary review of the basin and select the shale gas formations to be assessed.
- Determine the areal extent of the shale gas formations within the basin and estimate its overall thickness, in addition to other parameters.
- Determine the 'prospective area' deemed likely to be suitable for development based on a number of criteria and application of expert judgment.
- Estimate the gas in-place as a combination of 'free gas'9 and 'adsorbed gas'10 that is contained within the prospective area.
- Establish and apply a composite 'success factor' made up of two parts. The first part is a 'play success probability factor' which takes into account the results from current shale gas activity as an indicator of how much is known or unknown about the shale formation. The second part is a 'prospective area success factor', which takes into account a set of factors (e.g., geologic complexity and lack of access) that could limit portions of the 'prospective area' from development.
Technically Recoverable Resource
The estimated technically recoverable resource base is one of the basic metrics for quantifying the total resource base that analysts would use to estimate future natural gas production. The technically recoverable resource estimate for shale gas in this report is established by multiplying the risked gas-in-place by a shale gas recovery factor, which incorporates a number of geological inputs and analogs that are appropriate to each shale gas basin and formation.
The basic recovery factors used in this report generally ranged from 20 percent to 30 percent, with some outliers of 15 percent and 35 percent being applied in exceptional cases. The consultant selected the recovery factor based on prior experience in how production occurs, on average, given a range of factors including mineralogy, geologic complexity, and a number of other factors that affect the response of the geologic formation to the application of best practice shale gas recovery technology.
Key Exclusions
The information contained within this report represents an initial assessment of the shale gas resource base in 14 regions outside the United States. As such, there are a number of additional factors outside of the scope of this report that must be considered when attempting to incorporate the information into a forecast of future shale gas production. In addition, several other exclusions were made for this report to simplify how the assessments were made and to keep the work to a level consistent with the available resources.
Some of the key exclusions for this report include the following:- Assessed basins without a resource estimate, which resulted when data were judged to be inadequate to provide a useful estimate. Including additional basins would, on average, likely result in an increase in the estimated resource base.
- Countries outside the scope of the report, the inclusion of which would also likely add to the estimated resource base – particularly since it is acknowledged that potentially productive shales exist in Russia and most of the countries in the Middle East. While expanding the scope would likely result in an increase in the estimated shale gas technically recoverable resources, this initial assessment did not focus on those regions due to their substantial conventional gas resources. In other cases, the infrastructure or markets that would be a necessary precondition for gas production may not be built within a meaningful time frame.
- Offshore portions of assessed shale gas basins were excluded, as well as shale gas basins that exist entirely offshore.
- Coalbed methane, tight gas and other natural gas resources that may exist within these countries were also excluded from the assessment.
- Shale oil was excluded from the assessment, although the contractor noted for several basins that the limits of the assessed shale gas area were defined by the transition from higher maturity gas prone areas to the lower maturity 'oil window'.
- Production costs were not estimated for any of the basins. The costs of production could be greatly impacted by a number of factors including the availability of existing infrastructure, availability and cost of adequately trained labor, availability and cost of equipment such as rigs and pumping equipment, the geologic features of the fields within the play such as depth and thickness, and a number of other factors that affect the direct costs of production. Estimated production costs for each of the basins would also need to be considered in order to estimate the potential future production of shale gas given a future price.
- Above ground issues were not considered, such as access to the resource, can greatly affect production costs and the timing of production.

5Reserves refer to gas that is known to exist and is readily producible, which is a subset of the technically recoverable resource base estimate for that source of supply. Those estimates encompass both reserves and that natural gas which is inferred to exist, as well as undiscovered, and can technically be produced using existing technology. For example, EIA's estimate of all forms of technically recoverable natural gas resources in the U.S. for the Annual Energy Outlook 2011 early release is 2,552 trillion cubic feet, of which 827 trillion cubic feet consists of unproved shale gas resources and 245 trillion cubic feet are proved reserves which consist of all forms of readily producible natural gas including 34 trillion cubic feet of shale gas.

9'Free gas' is gas that is trapped in the pore spaces of the shale. Free gas can be the dominant source of natural gas for the deeper shales.
10'Adsorbed gas' is gas that adheres to the surface of the shale, primarily the organic matter of the shale, due to the forces of the chemical bonds in both the substrate and the gas that cause them to attract. Adsorbed gas can be the dominant source of natural gas for the shallower and higher organically rich shales.

Its is the second worst storm I endured since I moved to Texas, making it the second worst storm of my life. I had been praying, trying to center, and needing to be present. The storm hit my house exactly within the first five minutes of sitting down with someone for spiritual direction. The wind was rattling the windows and tossing bits of the back yard around. The whole house chilled. I considered ending our time together because I was able to give the moment only 99% of my attention. I was being tugged away by one haunting thought. Will the tree hold?

Comments about Bush Series C 3 Drawer Vertical Mobile Wood File Cabinet in Mocha Cherry:
Product is very sturdy and has a contemporary design... but, assembly took way too long. The many different screws were hard to distinguish. More than half the time was spent deciphering the pictures and screws in the manual. It would have saved so much time, if each part was actually labeled on its plastic container.
