California lawmakers took two big steps forward last week, passing a statewide plastic bag ban and a measure providing workers with three sick days a year, both issues borrowed from San Francisco. California is the second state to pass each bill, with Hawaii banning plastic bags in January of this year and Connecticut enacting a similar sick leave measure in 2012.Read more »

Our news feature story this week covered the militarization of police departments across the country, including the SFPD, and how the easy accessibility of "cool toys" like grenade launchers and armored vehicles encourages violence.
But one conclusion we were left with as we worked on the story was this: the SFPD ain't all bad. During the last Police Commission meeting, Chief Greg Suhr mentioned he was almost hesitant to order four forklifts from the Department of Defense due to scrutiny from the news media. Read more »

Surprises for girls and boys in regional round of basketball playoffs
Tickets to the regional round of the state basketball tournament have been punched and there were some surprises in both the boys and the girls brackets of the West Central District tournament.
Thanks to a two-point victory over Rogers Feb. 16, the Kentwood girls basketball team punched its ticket to the state regionals.With that victory in a loser-out, winner-to-state contest, Kentwood defeated South Puget Sound League North rival Kentridge Monday night, 58-51, at Stadium for the sixth seed out of the district tournament. Kentwood beat Skyview in the first round Feb. 13 but lost to Todd Beamer in the second round Feb. 15. Beamer went on to the district championship game Monday night against top-ranked Mount Rainier.
Meanwhile, Kentwood's boys couldn't capitalize on its buzzer-beater momentum from the league seeding game and was eliminated Feb.15 by Mount Rainier in a 69-58 loss.
After getting off to a quick start in the district tournament Feb. 13 at home against Olympia, Tahoma's boys lost two straight to miss state. The Bears have not played in the state tournament since 1997.The Bears struggled Feb. 15 in a 73-55 loss to Todd Beamer at Mount Tahoma High in the second round of the West Central District playoffs.
Beamer knocked down nine threes as a team while Tahoma's generally reliable outside shooter Ethan McCormack didn't make his first three pointer until late in the game.In the winner-to-state, loser-out game Feb. 16 against SPSL North rival Thomas Jefferson, Tahoma couldn't find a way to overcome the Raiders, who qualified for the playoffs thanks to a win in the last regular season game at home against the Bears. This is Jefferson's first trip to the playoffs since 1985 and the 66-58 win was the Raiders' third victory over the Bears this season.
It was a tough night Feb. 15 for the girls from Tahoma, too, who lost to Auburn Riverside Friday at Bellarmine Prep in a loser-out contest.

Kenner, La. - Less than a week since Super Bowl XLVII visitors left town, workers at the Louis Armstrong International Airport get ready for another surge in passenger traffic.
This time most visitors are coming to enjoy Mardi Gras, and most locals are leaving to hit the slopes or a family vacation. The Friday before Mardi Gras is always busy at the airport. The airport expects to see heavy traffic from Friday, February 7 through Wednesday, February 13.
Passengers who will travel during this holiday are being advised to arrive two hours prior to their scheduled departure time. The airport expects all flights to be at or near capacity throughout the Mardi Gras travel period. According to a news release from the airport, "on peak travel days there are approximately 32,000 daily seats available to the New Orleans market, 16,000 of which are departing."
"Heavy passenger loads are the norm for the Mardi Gras season in New Orleans and this year will be no different. We have been working closely with the TSA and our air carriers to ensure a pleasant travel experience for all who come to enjoy our wonderful culture," stated Director of Aviation Iftikhar Ahmad.
If you're picking up a traveler from the airport, you're encouraged to wait in the cell phone lot at the corner of Hollendey and Airline.

Sorry this item is currently sold out.
Please use this discount coupon for an
additional 5% off during checkout:
This Red Mutiny Audio Snowboard Helmet is both extremely comfortable and very effective. Its NEW Injected ABS shell will help protect your head from unexpected falls and collisions. The Hidden Integrated Rider controlled Venting helps control air flow. The Removable Ear Pads helps make this helmet one of the more comfortable ones on the market. It is simply one of the best helmets available. You will not be disappointed. It also happens to be very affordable!
Munity Audio
got this helmet for 12 bucks during one of their mega sales. i guess for that price, it's ok but if i had to pay full price, theres no way in hell i would ever get this.
the audio quality is worse than the cheapest pair of earbuds on the market. not only that but this helmet makes me look like i have a large egghead. def not low profile at all. it's light and comfy i'll give it that, and the ventilation is very good. safety wise it's decent, i've taken multiple knocks to the head and the helmet performed well.
Overall a very nice helmet, and it is difficult to complain at the price. After about 3 months of good use it seems a little easy to ding, similar to other RED helmets I've used (Skycap/ Pure). Still a very comfy and well vented helmet, but the audio seems more gimmicky as I could see my cable breaking anytime now, as my friends already has. Lastly I would recommend the skullcandy earpad headphones, they are much more durable and the sound quality is much better.
I purchased this helmet last year and i couldnt be more satisfied with my purchase.
i wear a size 7 1/8 hat and i got a medium helmet and it fits perfect. I would recommend going to the stores to fit it out before you buy it online to save yourself the time. Some helmets just dont fit correctly.
this one is awesome lightweight, comfortable the only flaws is the headsets in the earbuds they are a little weak and can cut in and out sometimes. other then that this helmet is sick
Most important it's comfortable otherwise I wouldn't wear it, fits my mellon head and keeps it warm, I like it. Haven't given it the acid test yet but seems as though it would serve it's purpose should it have to. Goggle friendly. Have worn a couple of protecs which I also like but this is my pick. The speakers are a bonus though sometimes need the plug tweaked, but work sweet more often than not. Overall I'd recommend trying it.
My husband has these, he's had 2 other protec helmets and this is his favorite one. Lightweight and durable multi-impact foam, Helmet stays cool. true to size. and very cool baseball design. the only thing is the ear muffs with the audio is too puffy, he bought the regular ear muffs and uses earbuds. other than that,it is a safe and cool helmet.
i like this helmet alot! really comfortable, and its light....you dont feel like a bobble head either. i like how it keeps your head warm i dont even wear a skully any more just the helmet
I've used this helmet for about 1.5 season and recently the audio function just went dead. There is a button to mute and un-mute the sound but recently the only time it works is when I'm holding the button down. That is not going to happen as I'm riding down the mountain. It was great for the first 1.5 season but now I'm looking for a new helmet.
This is a great helmet, bought it last year and loved every aspect of it. The brim looks great with a pair of goggles on and matte black gives it a great look. The audio capability is also great even without the RED capable headphones, you can still use regular earbuds in it. The helmet came with plenty of different options to size it, different inserts and areas that you can remove to help better fit.
This is probably my favorite helmet, and Thats saying something because i generally HATE helmets. Most of the ones ive used have been bulky, uncomfortable, and very, very, hot. This helmet is actually pretty good though. It is low profile, and has good vents to keep your head from overheating. It also works extremely well with a pair of goggles
I have this helmet with, the REDphone earpads, and the regular ones. With the regular pads, this is easily a 4-5 star helmet. Super-comfortable, warm etc. But the audio earpads leave a bit to be desired. 1) they're not as warm, since you're sacrificing insulation for speaker bits. They're also not nearly as comfortable as the default pads. 2) The cord is a bit fussy, and tends to sporadically lose audio connection during any type of precipitation, or if you turn your head sometimes. It's also a bit unwieldy having a cord tethered from your ear to your jacket. Wireless would own in this scenario. 3) The audio earpads seem to flare out a little more than the standard ones in the front, meaning that in windy situations, your ears will be more exposed. Having ice blown into your helmet between the speakers and your ears is no fun. On the plus side, while the audio is by no means audiophile quality, it does sound pretty decent, especially if you have the capability of EQing your source appropriately.
I wore this helmet for most of last season. It kept me warm on cold days and cool on warm days. The built in headphones are decent quality, not the best, but works well. The style is really cool, but can look bulky on some heads. Overall I really recommend this helmet.

omg completely off topic, but you know how the title of the show is "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" well Jimmy Fallon was like "swim" lmao and it was so funny
okay off topic sorry lol
I'm not sure what I think about it to be honest. I mean, i'm super excited to see Ryan on TV cause it gives me something to live blog about, but then I feel like people are just going to slack him for it. And I get all protective, and It's not pretty haha
So until the show comes out, idk. I'm happy for him though. xx
I think that list is completely dead wrong about Ryan. I hate that people think he's a douchebag, because he's not. He may dress like one, or come off as it, but he's far from it. He's always incredibly nice on twitter, and did people see all those pics of him giving away his medals to young kids?LIKE COME THE FUCK ON. This is what I hate about society, they like placing labels on people because they think it's okay to. It's NOT. Just cause he wears grills, people think he's a douche. HE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS HE DOESN'T HAVE TO LEVEL HIMSELF TO PEOPLE'S SOCIAL STANDARDS.
Ryan seems like an absolutely great guy. He's far from perfect, but he never has to be. He may not have made the impact he was hoping to make in the Olympics, but he did his best, and it was good enough.
Ugh, articles like that piss me off.
I honestly don't know :( I guess people are over the whole Olympics phase so they unfollow him? I honestly think his tweets are the cutest. I get them sent to my phone, and they never fail to make me smile. So if people are unfollowing him, they're just idiots
could they be gay? Yes I think it's possible…but I think they are more likely bisexual if anything.
Ahh I don't even know if I could answer that…I love them both too much. But probably Michael *ducks head* I LOVE THEM BOTH OKAYY?
aww thank you!
YAY can't wait!
Thank you anon :) Know that I love the majority of the anons here even though I've been swamped with life. Love you all :)
you go back in and edit the tags.
Ok sorry!…but Wow no need to be so rude! And try telling that to some of the other people we aren't the only ones…..and actually I haven't tagged any text posts with phlochte lately! Geez. -Emma xx
I'm sorry but first of all, we don't tag any giveaways on the phlochte tag. Last time I checked, we haven't promoted any giveaways on here either. So I have no idea what you're bitching about to begin with. Second of all, we haven't tagged anything on the phlochte tag in a pretty long time. Most of the posts on here are things we reblog since we've all been busy with school and stuff. Any text posts we do have are tagged on the teamphlochte tag.
Now, if you have a problem with our blog, feel free to block us. I'm sure it's easier than complaining about something we haven't done.
Like Emma mentioned, there are others who do the same damn thing, so if you want to bitch at us, don't half ass it. Do it to everyone else who does it.
If you'd talked to us nicely, then i'd respond back in the same way. But seeing as though you're coming at us with some bullshit accusations, you don't deserve my respect.
Ps. You don't need to apologize Emma. We haven't done anything wrong.xx

bad tumblr queue!
so you guys may have noticed that my queue never seems to work properly…I'm terribly sorry about that!
so you guys may have noticed that my queue never seems to work properly…I'm terribly sorry about that!
First I'm going to direct you to basic info on bowlegs.
Then I'm going to say that the short answer is YES! You need to strengthen! And you need to be as aware as you can as often as you can. The best way to improve will be slowly and diligently by practicing correct placement in the classroom.
Dancers with hyperextended and bowed legs tend to have a "swayback," so it's possible that when you squeeze your legs together and feel like you're losing your placement of your lower back, you may actually be right on, as weird as it feels. This is a good video about correct ballet posture. Normally I would say she tucks her pelvis too much, but she's overcompensating for a swayback. Look in the mirror, relax into your hyperextension, and see if you have a swayback. You may need to overcompensate!
Hyperextended and bowed legs generally need strengthening in the hamstrings (inner thighs), glutes/rotators, and supinators/pronators (ankles and lower leg muscles). You may also need to work on using your psoas rather than your quad muscles. Here's a post on using your psoas that should be helpful. It includes exercises for the inner thighs (hamstrings). This post and this post on turnout will also be a big help, and include exercises for glutes/rotators and ankles.
Do you have any pain associated with ballet turnout and posture? Specifically in your knee and hip joints? If so, you should see a physical therapist and speak at length with a teacher that knows your dancing. They will be able to help you with more specifics than I can!
Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you've achieved 90 degrees! Time to push it, eh? Continue with any stretches or exercises you are already doing, pushing yourself to do more reps, hold things longer, stretch a little further, etc. Push yourself to lift a tad higher and hold a extra few seconds in class, etc. It will come in time!
Additionally, check out these posts on penché. Then check out this post on back flexibility.
If you still have questions or something more specific than I've addressed in those posts, please let me know!
And remember that not everyone's body has potential to be a contortionist!
Yes, ballet runs/walks are quite challenging! (Keep it a secret from the Muggles!) We used to practice walks and runs every day after grand allegro. Watch any videos of professional ballet dancers, find the spots in Classical variations where they are running or walking, and study study study!
I'm not sure what specific corrections you've been given, but the main things to think about in ballet walks and runs are:
I hope that helped. It's difficult to explain ballet runs in typed words. I tried to find videos but all that came up were pre ballet students and non-dancers trying to look graceful in ridiculous shoes. I'm going to keep trying to find good examples and see if I can make a good slow motion gif of runs and walks (eventually!)
Let me know if you have a more specific correction that I didn't address here.
Cheer up!
Multiple pirouettes are simply sustained single turn balances with multiple spots!
Once you've mastered a single pirouette, the multiples will come…it's all mind over matter. Since doing multiples on the left doesn't seem to be working for you, your teacher's tactic may be to try to encourage you to perfect your singles and boost your confidence in them before you start adding more turns. If you keep doing multiple pirouettes in frustration and fatigue, your body will learn inefficient and incorrect muscle memory. Even worse, you will lose confidence, and pirouettes are all about confidence! Better to build correct muscle memory on the singles before adding more spots.
Or maybe she is just trying to light a fire under your ass… ;)
Take your frustrated energy and turn it into something positive! It will do you no good to direct it at yourself or your teacher.
If you feel like she's getting frustrated with you, remember that your teacher is only human. Maybe she feels like she's been giving you the same correction over and over and doesn't feel like you're taking her advice? Just a thought. I don't know if you're still at that intensive with that instructor, but something you might want to do is ask her after class to give you a couple of pointers. That will show her how dedicated you are.
Chin up! Pirouettes are about confidence! Multiples are simply extra spots added to a sustained balanced single turn. Be okay with returning to the base in order to improve on the more advanced. Professional ballet dancers still have to do pliés and tendus every day. And it's okay to get frustrated and upset, but don't let it fester. Turn that energy into a positive and use it to your advantage!
This is a secondary blog so I can't follow, but danceaintelitist's followers will see this post :)
Much love to you! I love hearing that you find this blog helpful! Merde on your competition (if it hasn't already happened!)
Thank you so much!
stimulatingintellect started following you
thank you for all the love darling :*
Hello darling!
Those darn gymnasts! Let me know if you get there, because I've never been this flexible, that's for sure! Part of it IS natural, some people can't ever be quite THAT bendy. Looking at the picture, you can see that it's pretty much all lumbar spine, abs/psoas, hamstring, and hip socket flexibility. Her neck is pretty whacked, too (too much IMHO).
YOGA! Yoga is absolutely the best way to increase your flexibility. Yoga increases your overall soft tissue elasticity, which will greatly enhance your ability to push your ballet stretches! Start with a guided beginner's yoga routine that has a focus on low back and hip/pelvic girdle flexibility. Search YouTube and Netflix until you find a routine that you like with an instructor that you like. Slowly work your way up and allow your body time to change and adjust. It's always best to start out low key and pain free. Stretching should feel GOOD.
Here are stretches to eventually work your way toward in yoga:
Here's a fun little gravity-assisted stretch you can do using the back of the couch while watching TV:
EDIT: I should also refer you to this penché post. Scroll down to check out the stretches for back, hamstrings, and arabesque!
NOT RECOMMENDED!!! 1200 calories a day is what you burn WITHOUT doing ANY extra exercise (i.e. a regular day at school sitting, typing, and moving around a little bit)! A summer intensive is the OPPOSITE of no extra exercise Xp
Better to eat small healthy snacks like yogurt or a handful of almonds throughout the day to keep your metabolism rolling. Then eat smaller portions of healthy meals at meal times (leave a couple bites on your plate and skip dessert and soda pop). Add a little exercise in the morning, like a short walk or some jumping jacks and crunches to start the day with a higher metabolism. Make sure you eat a healthy breakfast (protein and/or fruit) to get your metabolism up in the morning. (Skipping breakfast and depriving yourself of food puts your body in "starvation mode" so that it tries to retain any calories you eat rather than burn them). Eat when you're hungry.
Bear in mind that you might actually GAIN muscle mass during the intensive, so you might even gain weight. Don't panic. Look at your body and how your clothes fit. Numbers on a scale don't really mean anything.
Go here to calculate how many calories you need to function in periods of high activity and how many calories you need to cut per week to lose a couple pounds of fat a week. BUT REMEMBER MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT and you will most likely gain muscle at the SI.
Oh yeah, and drink lots of water and get lots of rest! Health = good.
Pilates Pilates Pilates!!!
I recommend any guided beginner's Pilates routine, which can be found on Netflix and YouTube. Do not try to do too advanced of a routine without a live instructor. It's too easy to do the exercises incorrectly, which can snowball into other problems.
Moira Stott-Merrithew is very good. An excellent beginner's routine is "Stott Pilates: Pain-Free Posture." It's gentle, it's not crazy difficult, and it's a really nice, well-rounded workout that will tone your body and improve your posture (which makes you LOOK thinner too!)
Hmmmm…I'm just speculating, but a good chunk of her weight loss probably IS water weight. The first few pounds of weight loss are almost always water weight, especially when you lose the weight by cutting back on caloric intake, and especially when you lose those first pounds fairly quickly. And 7 pounds in 2 weeks IS pretty quick. A healthy, natural, sustainable weight loss rate is 1 to 2 pounds per week!
It's definitely NOT healthy to only eat two small meals a day. That's water weight loss and weight loss from your body "eating itself" because it's not getting enough calories to function! On average, women need something like 1200 calories a day just to sit and sleep and breathe and perform involuntary body functions! (At my age, height, and weight, I need 1700 a day if I don't do any exercise). And in the long run, dieting like that doesn't do any good. When you lose weight from suddenly switching to a diet that can't and shouldn't be maintained long term, you're just going to gain it back eventually! It's better to simply eat healthier, diverse foods and add cardio exercise to your lifestyle to form new habits that can be maintained.
So short answer: yes, probably a good bit of water weight :) Knock some sense into that girl!
EDIT: You can calculate things like what a healthy weight loss rate is for you and how many calories to burn a week to achieve that by clicking here. And remember, it's not best to lose weight by simply cutting back on caloric intake. You should also BURN some of those calories by adding some cardio exercise!

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Indians announced on Tuesday that outfielder Michael Bourn underwent surgery on his left hamstring.
The procedure, called a distal hamstring debridement, was performed in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper.
Bourn suffered the injury while attempting to steal a base in the Tribe's final regular-season game against the Minnesota Twins on Sept. 29. He was able to play in the team's wild card loss to Tampa Bay three days later.
The 30-year-old is expected to start rehab at his home in Houston this week and be fully recovered in 4-to-6 weeks.
Bourn hit .263 with six triples, 21 doubles, six homers and 50 RBI in 130 games for Cleveland in 2013.

Streetscape Projects
To further complement the more than $300 million that has been invested in Downtown Brooklyn by the City of New York, the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership (DBP) works with local stakeholders to advocate for streetscape improvements across the area. Below are highlights of some of our current projects:
BAM Park: DBP is working with elected officials to find funding to reopen this neglected city-owned park at the intersection of Fulton Street and Lafayette Avenue. While former City Council member (now Public Advocate) Letitia James allocated $200,000 in capital toward the renovation of the park, it is estimated that the project will total $1.5 million. Over the next year, DBP will continue to build on the current allocation and advocate for moving this important project forward.
Flatbush Avenue: DBP is working with public officials to raise money for the extension of the Flatbush Avenue streetscape project south from Fulton Street to connect the center of the district to the new Barclays Center. Much of the design was already completed during the initial $23 million Flatbush Avenue project that began in 2009. The next phase, which is estimated to cost around $7 million, would run from Dekalb Avenue to 4th Avenue. The project would include a new median, sidewalks, benches, light poles, and plantings.
Fox Square: Conceptual design of the renovation of this pedestrian plaza at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Fulton Street is now complete. The New York City Economic Development Corporation and New York City Department of Transportation (DOT)-led design is now progressing toward final drawings while DBP collaborates with the agencies to seek approval for the release of construction funds.

2013 LEXUS IS SPORT SEDAN: Minor tweaking was carried out on the Lexus IS sport sedan before the release of the 2013 models. Available in IS 250 and IS 350 trim levels, the IS sport sedan retains its wide stance and long wheelbase; fitted with shapely body contours, subtle ducktail-curved trunk lid and "air kick" taillights. Matching the road-hungry styling is a choice of advanced powertrains. The IS 250 is propelled by a 2.5 liter V-6 that develops 204 horsepower, while the IS 350 is fitted with the 306hp 3.5L V-6. A six-speed manual gearbox can only be ordered on the rear-wheel IS 250, while the IS 250, IS 250 AWD, IS 350 and IS 350 AWD offer an advanced six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. A stock IS 350 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds, and reach 144 mph on a test track. Within the five-passenger, leather-trimmed interior are available 10-way power front seats, HD radio with iTunes tagging, automatic Bluetooth phonebook download, Lexus Enform with Safety Connect and a Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system and DVD touch-screen navigation system, 14-speakers and 300-watts continuous power. The F SPORT package is available for the IS 250/350 rear-wheel drive models, and includes heated front seats that feature a microfiber insert and leather side bolsters to provide more support for the driver and passenger during cornering. The package also adds F SPORT badging to the steering wheel, shift knob and doorsill scuff plates. A total of nine exterior paint colors are offered, including shades titled, "Matador Red Mica," "Fire Agate Pearl" and "Ultrasonic Blue Mica."

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The first plane to be designated as Air Force One now sits in a southern Arizona field that's part of Marana Regional Airport.
The aircraft that once spirited President Dwight D. Eisenhower on cross-country voyages is nearly forgotten on a 10-acre parcel, decaying under the relentless glare of the sun.
Efforts to sell the aircraft at auction were unsuccessful and it was parked at the Marana airport in 2005 in a lease agreement.
The aircraft has no hangar to shelter it from the sun's rays, which are gradually breaking down the aircraft.
The Arizona Daily Star says a New Mexico man now owns the plane.
A contractor who serves as the aircraft's caretaker is looking for a museum willing to take it and restore it.

Salam I was in London 2years back for the purpose of studying & there i bought a mobile in installment for two years including monthly phone bill but i had to come back in my home country due to visa prob.it was one year of the installment which i paid duly but when i had to come back and i couldn't pay the rest of the installment as i didn't have the whole amount of rest one year installment with me at that time and there was no provision of returning the phone. so i had to come back without paying the rest of the installment. I could not pay from my home country as the company used to collect the money from my London bank account. now my question is what should i do as I am well aware that I am in debt with the phone company.Please help me with a solution based on Islamic law.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, Brother, please refer to http://www.islamqa.com/en/71183 as this is what you need to read to understand the serious nature of debt. Having read the information contained within this reference, you can forward a cheque to the phone company...you can find their postal address on the web in case that you have not retained any bills from the past. Failing this, you can email the company and come to some type of an arrangement to pay it off in installments. The seriousness of having debts is too weighty so make an effort to remove this calamity from you. You will sleep better and rest easy knowing it is out of the way. May Allaah SWT assist you in removing this worry from your mind. Sallaam.

The Samsung U600 is more than just a beauty, but it won't please the most demanding cell phone users.
Nero 6.0 Ultra is a versatile, comprehensive CD/DVD software suite that gives you excellent bang for the buck.

The Sony Z Ultra Google Play Edition's insanely large size and stratospheric price make the Nexus 5 and Note 3 better options for pure Android power.
Flip Video has made some modest improvements to the original Ultra--but it's only worth buying at a reasonable discount off its list price.
While it may not be a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners, a host of subtle improvements make the latest Sony PSP (aka the PSP 2000) an even better deal for anyone looking for a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.
It isn't cheap, but Western Digital's Caviar Special Edition 250GB is the complete kit, with loads of capacity, excellent performance, and sterling service and support.
The FMP-X10 is Sony's second-generation 4K media player, equipped with a 1TB hard drive, access to hundreds of 4K movies, and Netflix's 4K streaming service. It will debut in July for $699, although customers who pre-order can save $200.
Samsung's finally made an affordable ultrabook, and the 13-inch Series 5 Ultra is a well-priced and far slimmer product than its 14-inch cousin. Still, it's not a runaway bargain, and it feels like corners have been cut in adapting it from the stellar Series 9's design. You also might want to wait a few weeks for Intel's latest processors to arrive.
While it's an improvement to the company's previous touch-screen model, Sony's Reader Touch Edition PRS-600 is saddled with a screen that's short on contrast and prone to glare--and it lacks the wireless convenience of Amazon's identically priced Kindle.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- A hearing is coming up for a state proposal that would help victims of sexual assault. It's called Lindsey's Law, and is designed to help victims of sexual assault and human trafficking get the mental health services they need.
The bill was written to change the time limits to allow the victims to utilize an existing special fund designed to pay for needed help. "There is something already established called the Crime Victim's Fund. What this bill will do is, based on the statute of limitations of the crime, allow the victim to go back and actually request access to those funds so they can get mental health services." Right now, the law has a very fast time limit for reporting the sexual assault crimes. Wright says that time restriction prevents people from getting help. "Basically, the crime has to be reported (now) in five days, and by the nature of sexual assault, that doesn't happen often for adults much less children because shame is often associated with this crime and it takes people time to come to terms with it and understand what happened to them."
The bill will have a hearing in Madison, and Wright is optimistic it will pass with bipartisan support. "We do have a hearing scheduled, coming up at the end of next week. It's a public hearing, and from there it goes on to an executive, and then it will need to go through the Senate as far as public hearings, and then hopefully be voted on in this session."
Wright says the victims of sexual assault and trafficking crimes often don't seek help for years after the offense, and this bill will allow them to finally get the help they need.

Fender guitar maker sets stage for IPO
Forget about Facebook. The manufacturer of the iconic Stratocaster is making noise with plans to go public.
Leo Fender, the founder of the Fender Musical Instruments Corp., brought to life the Telecaster, the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar. It would help make Fender an iconic brand for the rock 'n' roll movement and bring the guitar brand into the pop culture mainstream.
Now Fender is aiming for the U.S. market mainstream via a stock IPO.
The company just announced plans to go public, with JPMorgan (JPM) as the lead underwriter and "FNDR" as the proposed ticker. Fender plans to list on the Nasdaq.
Leo Fender started his company in Fullerton, Calif., in 1946 and created the Telecaster a few years later. But in the mid-1960s, Fender sold his company to Columbia Broadcasting System. Then in 1985, Fender was spun off to a group of managers.
Last year, Fender held the No. 1 position in terms of revenue for electric, acoustic and bass guitars in the U.S. The company has a wide assortment of brands other than Fender, such as Squier, Jackson, Guild, Ovation and Latin Percussion. It also has license rights to Gretsch, EVH (Eddie Van Halen) and Takamine. Not to mention its guitars have been used by some of the world's greatest artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and David Gilmour.
Still, Fender continues to focus investments on innovative product development. For example, in January the company launched its Fender Select line, which is a premium, hand-crafted production guitar. The Select line should help boost margins and lead to a spike in upgrades.
And Fender is more than just about guitars. In 2007, the company purchased Kaman Music Corp., which is one of the largest independent distributors of musical instrument accessories.
The result is that Fender is now a sizable business. In 2011, revenue came to about $700 million, up from $618 a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA was around $53 million.
A key growth driver has been international markets, which account for 46.7% of net sales.
Fender believes it still has plenty of potential to enter more countries. It's also getting more aggressive with licensing its brands. In fact, the company might get traction beyond music, such as for apparel, consumer electronics, mobile and bags. Fender has already put together co-branding deals with Apple (AAPL) and Hard Rock Cafe International.
So in light of its global brands -- as well as growth opportunities -- Fender should continue to be a top-notch player in the music business. Expect investors to line up for the IPO when it hits the market within a couple of months.

In the world of acoustic guitars, there are already some well-established giants, including CF Martin, Taylor, Guild and of course Gibson.
The problem is how cheaply an acoustic can be built in the developing world. Every time a population gets really good, the craftsmen form a guild or union, and want to be paid better and get some benefits, and the global corporation then moves operations to some place with cheaper labor.
It was Japan, then Korea, then Taiwan and now Indonesia. With every cost-cutting by the global companies, the quality goes down a notch and the materials are a bit cheaper. The guitars being passed off as "Mahogany" and "Rosewood" barely qualify to use those names for their woods.
The real shame is, all these countries could make excellent guitars, if the global corporation were not squeezing the craftsmen so badly. Want a good guitar? Buy one made before 1990 and made in the United States. And find your local luthier and let him set it up for you.
I agree with Altoona. This will only push Fender to make cheaper (cost) guitars and sell them at a higher price. Quality and customer service will suffer in order to drive volume and revenue. I've owned 7 Strats in my lifetime - if you're a musician in Austin, TX it's practically the law to have one. So, I fear for the future of this company and the product they put on the shelves.
If you have an American Strat, hold onto it. The value might skyrocket in a few years once this company starts producing lower grade equipment. I hope I'm wrong.
Actually 90% of these comments are factually wrong. I see the third comment below this is clearly wrong as well. Gibson and fender still make guitars in japan. Ever hear of an orville? come on, this is silly. I hope peaple do not believe these mis informed posts. Nothing will happen to the usa strats other than being improved by them going public.

Katy Perry is hosting and performing at the We Can Survive breast cancer charity concert on October 23 in L.A., and she has enlisted some of her favorite female artists for the special event. The day after Prism drops, she'll be joined at the Hollywood Bowl by Ellie Goulding, Tegan and Sara, Kacey Musgraves and Sara Bareilles as the ladies partner with the Young Survival Coalition, an organization dedicated to helping young women with breast cancer.
"These are all very powerful women that I really respect and look up to," Perry said in an interview today (September 23). "I wanted them to come together to promote this supportive message and have a fantastic night full of great music. There's so many great acts in this lineup. And I get to play a lot of songs off the record that will have come out the night before."
Last week, Sara Bareilles spoke on the controversy over the similarities between "Roar" and her own song "Brave," and said she and Katy joked about recording a mashup to defuse the issue once and for all. Which, of course, means we're holding out hope that the two singers will join up on stage at this event and perform their hits in a live mashup/medley.
Tickets for the concert go on sale September 27 through Ticketmaster.

Attachment to C-408M/96-174
Section 110
July 30, 1999
Department of Transportation
Supplementing the Specifications
Publication 408M dated 1996
SECTION 110.02(b) Differing Site Conditions.
Revise as follows:
(b) Differing Site Conditions.
During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions, differing materially from those indicated, are encountered at the site, or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions is responsible for promptly notifying the other party, in writing, of the specific differing conditions, before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.
Upon written notification, the Engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding loss of anticipated profits, will be made as specified in Section 110.02(a). The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the Contractor will be allowed unless the Contractor has provided the required written notice.
No contract adjustment will be allowed under this section for any effects caused on unchanged work.
Section 110.02(d) Required Changes in the Scope of Work.
Revise completely to read as follows:
The Department reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project.
Such changes in quantities and alterations in the work will not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the work as changed or altered.
If alterations in the work or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the work will be paid for at the original contract unit price.
If alterations in the work or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character
an adjustment, excluding loss of anticipated profits, will be made under Section 110.03. The basis for the adjustment will be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, the work will be paid for as extra work as specified in Section 110.03.
The term "significant change in character" applies only to the following circumstances:
When the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction, or
When an item of work is increased to in excess of 125% or decreased to below 75% of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity applies only to that portion in excess of 125% of the original contract item quantity or, in case of a decrease below 75%, to the actual quantity of work performed.
When a contract item experiences a significant change in character as a result of a decrease to below 75% of the original contract quantity, the actual quantity of work performed may be paid at an adjusted price, as agreed upon with the Contractor and approved by the Engineer; however, total compensation will not exceed the contract item's original value. Item value is defined as the original contract quantity multiplied by the contract unit price.
SECTION 110.02(e) Adjustment of Lump Sum Items.
Revise completely as follows:
Unless otherwise addressed in these Specifications, the original contract price of a lump sum item will not be adjusted for any reason other than for changes directed by the Engineer.
When addition or deletion of work is required due to a change directed by the Engineer, adjusted payment will be made as specified in Section 110.03.
SECTION 110.03(d)
Force Account Work
Revise completely to read as follows:
(d) Force Account Work.
Perform extra work on a force account basis only when directed in writing by the District Engineer, as stated in Section 110.03(a).
The Department will keep records of extra work done on a force account basis. Compare force account records with those kept by the Department, at the end of each day or as directed by the Engineer, to ensure accuracy and obtain concurrence. Report any unresolved disagreements with such records to the Engineer. Failure to review the Department's records or to report disagreements with such records will create a presumption that the Department's records are complete and accurate.
Payment for extra work performed on a force account basis will be made, as specified herein, upon completion of the work. Progress payments will be made only when an itemized estimated force account of cost is provided, in writing, within 10 working days after receipt of the Department's written authorization to perform the extra work on a force account basis.
1. Labor.
Wages of forepersons; equipment operators; and skilled, semiskilled, and common laborers directly assigned to the specific operation will be reimbursed, as direct labor costs, at the actual base pay rate and fringe benefit rate paid, for
each hour that such employees are engaged in the performance of authorized work and, if directed, overtime as provided for in existing laws and regulations.
Indirect labor costs will be allowed as a percentage of the total base labor cost. However, if certified payroll records indicate that the Contractor's method of making payment is such that fringe benefits are paid directly to the worker, indirect labor costs will be allowed as a percentage of the total direct labor cost. Compute indirect labor costs as follows:
Social Security Tax at the percentage legally required;
Medicare Tax at the percentage legally required;
Unemployment Taxes at the estimated effective rate;
Worker's Compensation Insurance at the policy percentage rate as adjusted for experience modifiers;
Contractor's Public Liability Insurance at the policy percentage rate; and
Contractor's Property Damage Liability Insurance at the policy percentage rate, including coverage for damage due to blasting and explosions, when additional coverage is required on projects involving blasting.
Compute estimated effective rates for the current calendar year by dividing the Contractor's total, company-wide Unemployment Tax payments for the previous calendar year by the total wages and salaries paid to all employees for the same period. Recompute estimated effective rates each year thereafter, for the duration of the project, based on the previous calendar year's total wages and salaries and total tax payments.
2. Material.
The cost of material used will be reimbursable, including applicable sales tax and transportation costs charged by the material supplier.
3. Equipment.
Reasonable rental rates for equipment, including trucks and machinery, mutually considered necessary, will be allowed, computed as follows:
3.a. Owned Equipment.
For any Contractor-owned equipment, an hourly rental rate will be determined using the monthly rate listed in the applicable edition of the Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment (Blue Book), Volume 1. The Blue Book edition in effect as of the first day that work is performed on a specific force account is the edition that will remain applicable throughout the performance of such work. The applicable edition of the Blue Book will be authorized for use statewide on a specified date.
The hourly rental rate for owned equipment will be computed by dividing the monthly rate listed in the Blue Book by 176. Apply to this rate, the area adjustment percentage for the State and the age adjustment percentage for the model year of the piece of equipment, as shown on the Regional Adjustment Maps and in the Rate Adjustment Tables, respectively, located at the beginning of each section of the Blue Book.
An allowance will be made for operating costs by adding, to the above adjusted hourly rate, the estimated operating cost per hour, as listed in the Blue Book, for each hour that the equipment or machinery is actually in operation on the force account work. If equipment or machinery is required at the work site on a standby basis, but is not operating, compensation will be at 50% of the adjusted hourly rate, exclusive of operating costs.
Equipment used for maintenance and protection of traffic on a 24-hour basis will be reimbursed at a daily rental rate, which will be determined by dividing the monthly rate listed in the Blue Book by 22.
Where Contractor-owned equipment or machinery is not listed in the Blue Book, a rental rate will be determined based on the manufacturer's list price for sale (new) of such equipment. In these cases, the monthly rate will be computed as 6% of the sale price (new), and the total hourly rate determined by dividing the monthly rate by 160, when operating, and by 352, when required at the work site on a standby basis, but not operating, with no adjustment percentages applied. For equipment used for maintenance and protection of traffic on a 24-hour basis, with no listing in the Blue Book, the daily rental rate will be computed as 6% of the manufacturer's list price for sale (new) of the equipment divided by 22, with no adjustment percentages applied.
The rates established above include the cost of fuel; oil; lubrication; supplies; necessary attachments; repairs; overhaul and maintenance of any kind; storage; all costs of moving equipment on to and away from the work site, except as specified below; and all incidentals.
The Department will not approve any costs in excess of those outlined above unless such costs were incurred for the convenience of the Department, as directed by the Engineer, and are supported by an acceptable cost breakdown. If a piece of owned equipment, not already on or near the project site, is needed specifically for the force account work, the cost of moving the equipment on to and away from the work site will be reimbursed, provided the equipment will not be used immediately thereafter in the performance of original contract work.
The term "owned equipment", as used above applies to equipment (including trucks and machinery) which the Contractor is required to provide for the proper execution of the contract work, as specified in Section 108.05(b), whether the equipment is actually owned directly by the Contractor, is leased, or has been obtained in some other manner.
3.b. Rented Equipment.
If a piece of equipment needed for the force account work is not of the type required to be provided by the Contractor for the proper execution of the contract work, or if the piece of equipment needed is "owned" but not currently available, and the equipment can be obtained by rental, discuss the need to rent the equipment with the Engineer and obtain approval of the rental rate to be paid before renting the equipment for the force account work.
Additionally, if an item is purchased specifically for the force account work, but does not become a permanent part of the work, the item will be considered rented equipment for cost reimbursement purposes. If the item's useful life is completely expended in the performance of the work, as determined by the Engineer, the full cost of the item will be reimbursed, including applicable sales tax and transportation costs. Otherwise, that portion of the item's useful life expended in the performance of the force account work will be determined and reimbursement made at a prorated cost.
The Contractor will be reimbursed the actual invoiced cost for rented equipment, plus the cost of transporting the equipment to and from the work site. An allowance will be made for operating costs by adding, to the rental cost, the estimated operating cost per hour, as listed in the Blue Book, for each hour the rented equipment is actually in operation on
the force account work. Furnish a copy of the invoice, receipt, or canceled check as support for the rental expense incurred.
Transportation charges for each piece of rented equipment, to and from the site of the force account work, will be paid provided:
Equipment is obtained from the nearest available source,
Return charges do not exceed the delivery charges,
Haul rates do not exceed the established rates of licensed haulers, and
Charges are restricted to those units of equipment not readily available and not on or near the project.
4. Services By Others.
For specialized construction analyses, engineering services, or work not considered subcontract work requiring prequalification, the Contractor will be reimbursed the invoice price plus 2% to cover administration and all other costs. Furnish a copy of the invoice, receipt, or cancelled check as support for the expense incurred. The markup on Service by Others costs will be limited to 2% only, regardless of whether the service was arranged by the Contractor or a subcontractor performing any or all of the force account work. The overhead and profit allowances specified in Section 110.03(d)7. are not applicable to service by others costs.
5. Permits, Bonds, and Insurance.
When specifically required for the force account work, as directed by the Engineer, the securing of permits, bonds, or specialized insurance coverage, of a type not already required by the contract, will be considered Service By Others, as specified in Section 110.03(d)4., and reimbursement of the permit fee, bond price, or insurance premium paid will be allowed plus the specified markup.
6. Subcontracting.
If any or all of the force account work is to be performed by an approved subcontractor, the work must be considered subcontract work requiring prequalification and the Contractor's need to subcontract the work must be approved by the Engineer. Have subcontractors that are approved to perform force account work comply with Section 110.03(d)1. regarding the submission of an affidavit certifying the percentage rates for taxes and insurances to be used to compute indirect labor costs and showing how estimated effective rates were determined. Payment for work performed by a subcontractor, will be determined based on a complete statement of applicable material, labor, and equipment costs, computed as specified herein, plus applicable markups for overhead and profit.
7. Overhead and Profit.
Except for work considered to be Service By Others, as specified in Section 110.03(d)4., to cover all administration, general and project superintendence, other overhead, bonds, insurance, anticipated profit, and use of small tools and equipment for which no rental is allowed, 25% will be added to the total material cost, 40% will be added to the total labor cost, and 5% will be added to the total equipment cost. When applicable, in addition to the above markups, 8% will be added to the total cost of any force account work performed as approved subcontract work in accordance with Section 110.03(d)6.
8. Statements.
Final payment will not be made for work performed on a force account basis until the Contractor has furnished the Engineer with an itemized statement of the cost of the work, in the form of a properly completed force account record, detailed as follows:
Name, classification, work dates, daily hours, total hours, base pay rate, fringe benefit rate, total pay rate and extension for each foreperson; equipment operator; and skilled, semi-skilled, and common laborer;
Description (year, make, model, capacity, etc.), use dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rates (operating and standby) and extension for each piece of equipment;
Description, quantity, unit price and extension for all materials, applicable sales tax, and transportation costs charged by the material supplier;
Name, description, unit price and extension for all services by others; and
Rates (legally required, estimated effective, or policy percentage) paid for property damage and public liability insurance, worker's compensation insurance, unemployment taxes, medicare tax, and social security tax.
Statements of labor costs are to be supported by certified payroll records.
Statements of material, sales tax, and transportation costs are to be supported and accompanied by invoices. If materials used in the force account work are not specifically purchased for the work but are taken from the Contractor's stock or provided by entities that are divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries or in any other way related to the Contractor or its parent company, furnish an affidavit certifying that the materials were obtained as described above, that the quantity claimed was actually used, and that the price and transportation costs claimed were actually incurred.
SECTION 110.04(b) Square Meter Bases.
Revise as follows:
4.a. Square Meter Basis.
For bituminous mixtures placed on a square meter basis, the equivalent tonneage is computed as follows:
Bituminous Mixture Tonneage Placed = (.000 001)(A)(D)(d)
A = Surface Area (Square Meters)
D = Design Depth (millimeters)
d = Design Density* (kilograms per cubic meter)
Bitumen Tonneage in Bituminous Mixture =
Bituminous Mixture (Tonneage) Placed
Percent Bitumen by Mass*
*The design density (i.e., lab density) and percent bitumen by mass will be obtained from the approved job-mix formula (Form TR-448A) for the bituminous mixture placed.
SECTION 110.08(a) Final Inspection.
Revise as follows:
Revise the fourth paragraph to read:
The Contractor will be relieved of responsibility for further physical work, maintenance, and third party liability only for work items which are satisfactorily completed at the time of, or subsequent to, the final inspection. The Contractor's responsibility for further physical work, maintenance, and third party liability remains for work items which are not satisfactorily completed at the time of, or subsequent to, the final inspection. When all physical work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the requirements of the contract, the Engineer will establish the Date of Physical Work Completion.
Revise the seventh paragraph to read:
When any substantial project section has been completed in advance of the whole, a final inspection will be made of that section and the Contractor will be relieved of responsibility for further physical work, maintenance, and third party liability on the section of the project as specified in Section 108.04(b). The final inspection will be conducted as specified for the entire project; except, the date of project acceptance will not be established nor will an acceptance certificate be issued.
SECTION 110.08(b) Acceptance Certificate.
Revise to read:
Upon completion of the requirements of Section 110.08(a), an acceptance certificate will be issued, establishing the date on which the project has been satisfactorily completed and certifying that the project is accepted as of that date.
Add as a new Subsection.
(a) General.
Low strength concrete prestress beams will be evaluated using the compressive strength of concrete cylinder or concrete core test specimens.
(b) Definitions
F'(28-day). 28-day minimum concrete compressive strength (MPa) as specified on the approved shop drawings.
F'(cyl). 28-day concrete compressive strength (MPa) of acceptance cylinders representing a beam. Determined as the average of the compressive strength of 2 or more cylinders.
F'(r). Minimum concrete compressive strength for transfer of prestress as indicated.
F'(core). Concrete compressive strength (MPa) of acceptance cores extracted from a beam. Determined as the average of the compressive strength of 3 cores.
FBP. Fabricated beam price.
(c) Evaluation, Disposition, and Payment of Low Strength Prestressed Concrete Beams Using Acceptance Cylinders
. When F'(cyl), representing a specific beam, fails to meet the F'(28-day) for the specified design, the beam will be considered deficient. If F'(cyl) < F'(r), the beam will be rejected. If F'(cyl)
F'(r), perform structural calculation based on F'(cyl) for the prestressed beam. Calculations must include all the original design considerations and be performed by a Professional Engineer registered in Pennsylvania. Submit calculations to the Structural Materials Section, Materials and Testing Division for
review by the appropriate Engineering District. These calculations must be submitted within two weeks of notification that F'(cyl) was deficient. If the structural calculations show that the beam is not acceptable to the Department, the beam will be rejected. If the calculations show that the beam is structurally acceptable, the adjusted payment will be determined as follows:
Adjusted Payment = [(A/B X 0.50)+0.50] X FBP
A = F'(cyl)-F'(r)
B = F'(28-day)-F'(r)
As an alternative, within two working days of notification of deficient F'(cyl), request permission of the Structural Materials Engineer, in writing, to extract concrete cores from the deficient beam. If this alternate is permitted by the Engineer, the procedures specified in Section 110.11(d) for extracting and evaluating the core specimens will be followed. When coring is approved, final disposition of the low strength beam will be determined based solely on the compressive strength of core specimens. The acceptance cylinder strength will no longer be used.
(d) Evaluation, Disposition, and Payment of Low Strength Prestressed Concrete Beams Using Cores.
When coring is approved by the Structural Materials Engineer, obtain cores, under the direction and supervision of the Engineer or his designate, within 1 week of notification, at no additional cost to the Department.
Obtain three cores, one from each third of the deficient strength beam, in accordance with PTM 606. Obtain cores from the portion of the beam that does not contain prestressing strands. Use a pachometer if necessary to avoid miss stirrups or strands. Patch holes left after coring using an approved patching material from a manufacturer listed in Bulletin No. 15 or the approved concrete mix design.
Deliver the cores to the Engineer immediately upon drilling. Cores will be delivered to the Materials and Testing Division within three working days of obtaining them. No cores will be
tested at an age of greater than 50 days. Cores will be prepared for testing in accordance with PTM No. 606 and compressive strength testing will be conducted in accordance with PTM No. 604.
The [F'(core)] and standard deviation(s) of three cores will be determined and the results sent to the supplier of the prestress beam. If F'(core)
F'(28-day), the beam will be accepted at full payment; no structural analysis is required. If F'(core) falls below F'(r), the beam will be rejected. If s
7.0 MPa and [F'(core)-s] < F'(r), the beam will also be rejected. If s < 7.0 MPa or [F'(core)-s]
F'(r), perform structural calculations based on F'(core) and submit these to the Structural Materials Section in accordance with the instructions given in Section 110.11(c). If the calculations show that the beam is not structurally acceptable, the beam will be rejected. If the calculations show that the beam is structurally acceptable, the beam will be accepted at an adjusted payment. The adjusted payment will be calculated using the equation in Section 110.11(c), except that F'(core) will be used in place of F'(cyl).

Larry Coryell, Victor Bailey, Lenny White - Traffic
Product Description
Chesky Records is pleased to announce the September 26 release of Traffic, CBW's highly anticipated follow-up to their 2005 debut, Electric. The power trio/super group features the godfather of fusion guitar Larry Coryell, former Weather Report bassist Victor Bailey and veteran Return to Forever drummer Lenny White.
Traffic continues the CBW tradition of blending virtuosic original compositions with immaculately conceived interpretations of jazz and classic rock standards. Original songs on Traffic include go-for-the-throat throwdowns like "Judith Loves Jazz," "Door #3" and "Overruled," while covers of Thelonious Monk's "Misterioso" and Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression" are also featured.
Though Coryell & Co. have been acclaimed for their raw, in-your-face sound, they also know how to apply finesse when necessary. Traffic even finds CBW unplugging for gentle acoustic respites like "Jake's Lullaby" and "Joyce's Favorite." "It's not only a detour from the rest of the program, but I think it's a needed one in the first decade of the 21st century," Coryell says of the featured acoustic numbers. "I just don't think we can go all the way through with loud rockin' stuff, so we offer a few detours on this record."
Other sonic highlights include a rare documented instance of Coryell playing slide on "Misterioso" and Bailey's two-handed tapping technique on several tracks throughout the album. Recorded in St. Peter's Episcopal Church in New York, Traffic uncompromisingly captures the immediacy of uncompressed live music in a sonically rich environment; CBW just let the tape roll and channeled the spirit of the moment. "Monk told me one thing that I will never forget," Coryell recalls." He said, 'Wrong is right, baby!' And on this record, we all took his advice. We all made mistakes with authority and it sounds good."
Traffic is the fourth of seven titles to be released as part of The New York Sessions series. This new series features the greatest jazz musicians of today recorded with Chesky Records' state-of-the-art technology. It also aims to spotlight new artists who are creating fresh opportunities for the music. All New York Sessions titles will be released as aggressively priced hybrid SACDs. Each SACD title will have a CD-compatible layer, as well as high-definition stereo and multichannel versions for SACD players.

Will time ever come to an end?
I have been reading a few different articles discussing the "end of time". They mostly talk about how modern physics suggests that at a certain point, all activity in the universe will cease, and there will be no renewal or recovery. My question is basically asking, if this were to happen, wouldn't time theoretically continue? Is time only a measurement of activity, or can it exist without any interaction of matter?
Here are some of the articles I have read:

The Official Website of the Louisiana Department of Revenue
BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana Department of Revenue is reminding the state''s Christmas shoppers that they are still obligated to report and pay state sales and use tax on out-of-state purchases made from catalogs or the Internet, even when the seller fails to collect the tax.
"Making a purchase from a seller located outside of Louisiana, whether by telephone, mail, or the Internet, does not exempt a Louisiana taxpayer from reporting and paying the state''s sales tax," Revenue Secretary Cynthia Bridges says. "If the seller does not collect the state''s sales tax, the customer must still pay the state an 8% "use" tax. This rate represents 4% state use tax plus 4% local taxes. The local tax share is distributed to local governments."
Bridges says taxpayers can report and pay their use tax obligation on the state individual income tax return that will be mailed in January 2001. "This year, there is a specific line on the front of the return that can be used to report and pay use tax. Taxpayers can also report and pay their use tax by requesting a Consumer Use Tax Worksheet from any office of the Department. The worksheet may also be downloaded from the Department''s web site at www.rev.state.la.us. "For the convenience of the taxpayer, there is a link from the web site''s main page directly to the form," Bridges says.
