As I write, it is Father's Day, and I am remembering my father, Henry Hanson Caldwell. My father was funny, bright, and also could be Very Serious. (Look out, here comes a lecture, kids!) He loved to "mess around in boats." He would say we were going fishing on the Rock River, and sometimes we would, but sometimes we would just explore, going up creeks and larger tributaries like the Sugar River, searching for wild iris along the banks, and watching for turtles. He could shoot a turtle all the way across the Rock River, and we would put it on ice in a cold chest, and take it home for my mother to make turtle soup with sherry. He trusted me and my sister with the fishing poles, which meant that one day my sister, who was only six or seven at the time, caught an 8-pound yellow catfish. He was happier than if he had snagged it himself, and bragged about her for weeks. (He scooped it out of the water with a net, but she reeled it in alongside the boat.)
Dad would take us along on business trips, which I have never known any other father to do. He took my sister to Montana on a trip, and she got to ride on a sleeping car train, which made me very envious. He took me to Springfield, Ill., several times, to hear him try cases before the Illinois Supreme Court. On the way back to northern Illinois, we stopped in our ancestral town of Effingham to visit cousins, and to put flowers on the graves of his grandparents and great-uncles.
When I was 10, and my sister was 8, our first brother (that we knew about) was born. He was named Carey Stirling Caldwell, for Dad's Latin professor at Northwestern, Homer Carey, and for Mom's uncle Robert Stirling, whom my father liked and respected so much. We were thrilled when another little brother was born two years later — Kevin Fredrick: Kevin because Mom liked the name, and Fredrick for Fred Ginsburg, my father's best friend. I was sad that I was not around as my brothers were growing up, because I went away to university. I watched Dad with my young brothers and realized something unusual about him: he treated his sons and his daughters in the same way. He spoke to us with respect, shared his interests and activities with us, and made sure that we knew what he valued, and what he expected from us.
Friends have told me that they found my dad intimidating when they were young. I never found him intimidating. I found that I got a fair hearing from him, that he was kind and caring with my friends, and that he was a mentor and encourager to younger lawyers with whom he worked, and to neighbors and friends who dropped in to sit and talk at the kitchen counter with him. He loved fishing, hunting and hunting dogs, appaloosa horses, the poets Percy Bysshe Shelley and George Gordon Byron, quoting Cicero in Latin, football, hockey, opera and ballet. I remember watching Edward Villella dancing on television, and hearing my father say, "Now, that is true art and discipline — and that guy is also a great athlete." He got tears in his eyes when Lily Pons sang "The Bell Song" from "Lakme" — and also when Bobby Hull scored for the Blackhawks.
He was not perfect, by any means. This is not the time to go into his faults, but he had plenty of them. Politically, I disagreed with him about many things, and I know I made his life more difficult because I did not get along with my mother, and after a certain point, stopped trying. The one thing I knew for sure was that my father was there for me, and I appreciated that more than I could say, although I did try to say it. I was shocked to learn (and yet not really that shocked) that we had an older brother from a brief first marriage that ended suddenly in divorce. (I had always had the sense that there was some secret about our family that no one was discussing.) My father's decision to stop trying to connect with his first son was not one I agreed with, and eventually, I found our older brother via the Internet, and he has become a dear friend — and reminds me more of my father every time I spend time with him — except politically!
In the last years of my father's life, I was able to spend a lot of time with him, because he moved to West Virginia, and then to Virginia when he married an acquaintance of mine. In his last illness, we spent a lot of time reminiscing about days on the river, about making wild plum jelly from the plums that grew behind the house we moved to in Riverwoods, Ill., in the late 1950s, about walking along the Des Plaines River, about looking for morel mushrooms. He told me stories about his parents and grandparents, about working on a dude ranch in Wyoming summers when he was going to Northwestern, about being in the Army in Alaska during World War II and listening to Russian radio transmissions with an Alaskan native who spoke Russian, about flying into Rio de Janeiro with intelligence information that could not be sent by radio or telegraph, but which had to be hand delivered.
My father was very dear to me, and two nights before he died, I was sitting up late with him, because he was very restless at night, and my stepmother desperately needed some sleep. About 3 a.m., he said, "Are you over here for a 'bisit?'" (a childhood word for my attempted escapes from bedtime–"Hi, Daddy, I came downstairs to ask if we can have a bisit?") I told him yes, and that I was just enjoying sitting with him. He said, "I have a favor to ask of you. My boots are upstairs under the sofa in our bedroom, and I would like for your to bring them down here so I can polish them. I'm going on a journey, and I want them to be ready." My father took fanatically good care of his shoes and boots, and was always giving his children lectures on taking good care of leather objects. (He owned one pair of shoes that he had re-soled four times.)
I knew then that he understood that there was indeed a journey ahead of him. He made it with great courage and no complaints. I remember the journeys I got to make with him with great gratitude, and hope to see him again when I make my last journey.

Music to Your Ears
We Will, We Will Rocku--Since the first time I laid eyes on This Is Spinal Tap by Christopher Guest, I've derived way too much pleasure from watching musicians in their meteoric rise to fame and inevitable, cataclysmic fall from grace. Mock or not, rockumentaries rule. This weekend, the Santa Fe Film Festival will screen nine original films (some made right here in New Mexico!) that shine a spotlight on music. We Like to Drink: We Like to Play Rock 'n' Roll follows The Unband, three alcoholic men-children who like to play loud, lewd rock music, as shot by Tesuque-based documentary filmmaker Lexie Shabel. Dangerous Highway gives voice to the "greatest unknown musician you've never heard," guitarist Eddie Hinton. Fellini-esque Russian filmmaker Rustam Khamdamov does a study of his country's stunning operatic talent in Vocal Parallels. Novem is an honest-to-god mockumentary about a confederacy of college songwriters in the '70s (it won the Jury Prize for best indie film in Sonoma). Bob Dylan's hometown of Hibbing, Minn., gets rifled through by Natalie Goldberg and filmmaker Mary Feidt in Tangled Up in Bob, while native musicians from northern New Mexico are the partial focus of Native Spirits: Forgotten Warriors. Finally, Life in G-Chord is the bittersweet account of Hisao Shinagawa, a Los Angeles street musician who still dreams of the stardom he chased upon first entering America in 1974. Log on to www.santafefilmfestival.com for a complete schedule of the films.

Two pilot whales die after beaching
Two pilot whales have died and two were euthanized after they beached themselves in southwest Florida.
Kim Amendola of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service said the mammals were among a group of about four dozen whales that swam into shallow waters Sunday and Monday.
NOAA regional stranding co-ordinator Blair Mase said necropsies would be performed on the dead whales. She said the surviving whales were listless and emaciated.
In Lee County, a handful of the mammals were stranded near shore, while more than a dozen others were seen swimming nearby. Yet another dozen were spotted farther offshore.
Amendola said roughly two dozen other pilot whales were being monitored off Collier County.

Why is my spouse's credit score higher than mine?
Being the family finance nerd doesn't mean having the highest scores. Here's how people with similar, shared credit histories can end up with different scores.
This post comes from Bev O'Shea at partner site Credit.com.
My husband and I refinanced a mortgage recently, and among the dizzying array of numbers we looked at were our credit scores -- three apiece for each of us. Mine were lower. Every single one was lower. This despite my being the family finance nerd and the payer of bills (even the instigator of the refi).
The biggest difference in our scores was about 15 points -- not terribly significant, but enough to make me wonder: How did this happen? Although credit scores aren't affected when you get married, we'd shared checking, savings and credit card accounts for more than 20 years, so our finances were pretty thoroughly meshed. And I am a money nerd; he isn't.
So I wanted our scores to be the same, or, truthfully, for mine to be slightly higher. Only they weren't, and mine were lower. The precise "whys" are known only to the companies that develop the credit scoring models, but I can make some educated guesses why my scores were a little lower.
For one, I tend to be the one who applies for a credit card because it has better rewards or a lower interest rate (he's an authorized user who actually remembers which card to use for gas and which for restaurants to maximize rewards). Applying for new credit causes a small, temporary drop in scores. It also lowers the average age of my credit. If our finances are pretty much the same, why aren't our credit scores? I did some digging. According to Experian, not all credit issuers report authorized users to the credit reporting agencies.
So if it's not the inquiries -- which could still make a difference in scores if there were some in the past year -- it could in fact be how the loans are reported, according to credit scoring expert Barry Paperno. "All it takes is one card or loan reporting on his or hers only to result in at least slightly different scores, with a 15-point difference being a relatively small difference," he says.
Apparently, being the person who checks balances online and pays the bills counts for nothing, at least on credit scores. And happily, mild irritation about a small difference in scores and wishing I could somehow pull even with him also counts for nothing.
Working toward better credit
But some differences in spouses' credit scores aren't so small. If one spouse has a markedly stronger credit score, that person may be able to help the other spouse build up their credit; for example, by adding him or her to a low-balance credit card that has been paid on time for a long time, says Credit.com's Director of Consumer Education Gerri Detweiler. But that doesn't mean spouses should rush in and try to merge all their credit. It may be smarter -- and safer -- to continue to keep separate accounts and to focus on the things you can control, such as paying down credit cards with high balances and making on-time payments, and not worry so much about the things you can't control, such as negative credit that happened in the past.
What's most important is the direction your score is moving. If you are trying to raise your scores, you'll want to keep an eye on them, but not every day. One way to get an idea of your current score is to check it by using a free tool like Credit.com's Credit Report Card. It's good to be aware of where you stand, but not to obsess over it. If you are satisfied with your score -- and eligible for the best interest rates -- you'll want to keep your score high. You do that much the same way you'd work to raise your score: by paying your bills as agreed and keeping the balance on credit cards below 25% (ideally 10%) of your credit limit.
So basically, I would do well to be a little less competitive and simply keep paying the credit cards and mortgage on time.

Dodge joins SayAh with more than 30 years experience growing early stage businesses
TULSA, Okla., July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SayAh, a cloud-based application company providing physicians and physician organizations the ability to improve the accuracy of patient satisfaction scores and take control of their online reputations, announced the appointment of Warren Dodge as the company's president and chief executive officer.
According to company founder and chairman, Bryan Hawkins, MD, SayAh is well positioned to leverage its regional focus and expand the company's services throughout the U.S. "SayAh has successfully exhibited impact on a regional level and is now poised to help physicians and physician organizations, nationwide, better manage their online reputations by engaging more of their patients in the feedback loop. Warren's extensive national experience and success in building and leading physician-focused services companies provides SayAh with the skills required to guide our company and grow its footprint across the U.S. healthcare landscape," Hawkins said.
Dodge, a recognized leader in the health services and health information technology markets, is well known for his expertise in sales, marketing and growing market share through point-of-care channels -- having honed his insights through more than 21 years working in the oncology services marketplace.
"The opportunity for SayAh is immense," emphasized Dodge. "Today it is estimated that 80 percent of perspective patients go online to research a physician's background and reputation prior to making an appointment. And, over 70 percent of perspective patients feel that a doctor's reputation is the most important criteria they consider before deciding whether or not to make an appointment."
According to Dodge, the problem for doctors is that their online reputations are built by a very small number of patients – which leads consumers to both an inaccurate and statistically unreliable mechanism for drawing any type of comparative evaluation. "SayAh changes that dynamic, allowing consumers and their doctors to have a significantly more reliable tool for understanding perceptions of physician performance and overall levels of service satisfaction," Dodge said.
Prior to joining SayAh, Dodge's career encompassed launching and managing several successful oncology service companies including Oncology Therapeutics Network (OTN) in 1991 and National Oncology Alliance (NOA) in 2001, Oncology Metrics in 2007 and most recently serving as the President of Altos Solutions, a web-based, oncology specific, electronic medical record (EMR) company.
As Senior Vice President and General Manager of OTN from 1991-1998, Dodge led the team that developed and implemented new ideas for servicing community oncology including Lynx, pharmacy support, drug information, next-day shipping, online ordering, extended dating and then discounts for early payments. From 1998-2001, Dodge served as Senior Vice President for iScribe, a pioneer and innovator in the e-prescribing market. As one of the principals at NOA from 2001 to 2005, he was involved in building the fastest growing and second largest specialty-oncology national, group purchasing organization.
About SayAh
Tulsa, OK-based SayAh gives physicians and physician practices the tools needed to more accurately reflect their online reputation by:
Through SayAh, physicians can now take a more active role in how their online patient satisfaction reputations are represented. As a result, consumers/potential patients have access to larger, more accurately represented pools of professional performance and service reviews in order to gain the clearest picture possible of a caregiver's reputation.

During the voting phase, which began October 1, 2013, the 100 Cars for Good program profiled five finalists at www.100carsforgood.com. Members of the public were invited to vote for which nonprofits they believed could do the most good with new vehicles. The two organizations with the most votes at the end of each day won one of five Toyota models. Runners-up each received a $1,000 cash grant from Toyota. "Toyota of Tri-Cities is proud to have a role in the 100 Cars for Good program and recognize Habitat for Humanity Tri-Cities for its dedication to our local community," said Porky Thomsen, Spokesperson for Toyota of Tri-Cities.

DUNN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - It took jury members only about an hour to decide not to release 65 year old Alvin Taylor from a state mental hospital.
Taylor's attorney told the court his client is no longer taking medication and hasn't had a violent outburst at Mendota Mental Health Institute in the last 25 years.
He had killed four people in the Chippewa Valley in the 1980s.
In his closing arguments, District Attorney James Peterson had called Taylor a "very dangerous man," urging the jurors to recommit him.
They agreed at the hearing in Dunn County.

The Great Gatsby
From Conservapedia
The Great Gatsby is considered the finest work of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It documents the "Jazz Age" of the 1920s, which was a period of great prosperity in America just before the Great Depression. [1]
It is a novel about of Jay Gatsby, who was an ambitious American from the Midwest, just as Fitzgerald himself was. Gatsby becomes a bootlegger during Prohibition, illegally selling liquor in his quest to impress Daisy Buchanan, a married, upper-class woman who had previously rejected him.
The story is told sympathetically with respect to Gatsby's search for the love of Daisy. The narrator of the novel, Nick Carraway, is less sympathetic towards Daisy and others who flaunt their wealth.
The book was initially unsuccessful, until liberals began promoting it heavily after Fitzgerald's death. The essence of the novel is largely a tale of atheistic despair, as Gatsby clings to a love interest in his past.
There have been seven different movie adaptations of the novel, with Jay Gatsby portrayed by Robert Redford in 1974 and by Leonardo diCaprio in the 2013 version.

Our story begins in Fairy Tale Land where Prince Charming has just awoken Snow White from a sleeping curse using True Love's Kiss. It's the beautiful end of the classic fairy tale, but it's just the beginning for Snow and Charming. They celebrate by getting married, but in the middle of the ceremony, The Evil Queen appears and vows to take away everyone's happiness with a Dark Curse before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Snow and Charming realize that The Queen is capable of such a horrible act, so they call together their fairy tale friends and come up with a plan to save a single person from The Curse using a magical wardrobe. Originally it's meant to be the now-pregnant Snow White carrying her unborn daughter, but when she goes into labor as the Curse begins to spread across the land, Prince Charming fights a daring battle to get his baby girl to the safety of the wardrobe just before The Curse envelops them all. The Evil Queen has her vengeance.

BOONEVILLE — A convicted killer who escaped an Arkansas prison turned himself into authorities Thursday after about three months on the run.
Timothy Buffington escaped June 21 from the Pine Bluff Unit after stealing a shotgun from a house on the prison grounds where he'd been performing janitorial work. He was found more than 150 miles away Thursday — in the same area where he was convicted of first-degree murder for the 1998 shooting death of his ex-wife, Rhonda Combs.
During a meeting of the Finance and Personnel Committee of the Bryant City Council, the aldermen discussed the outlook for the city's end-of-year finances.
While discussing the monthly financial report, Joy Black, finance director, told the committee that sales tax revenue is less than what was budgeted and she does not expect the city to make up the difference by the end of the year.
The committee suggested that the council discuss postpone some projects until the beginning of 2015 in case their is not enough revenue to cover the costs.
Bishop Park in Bryant will be the site for a Sept. 20 Zumbathon fundraiser for the family of Heather Baker who died as the result of a hit-and-run accident on the Target parking lot.
Baker suffered fatal injuries as she was walking from her car to a store in the Alcoa Exchange parking lot on Aug. 21 and died of those injuries the following day.
Zumba, a popular form of exercise involving dance and aerobic elements, will be the featured attraction for the event.
Possible water and sewer rate increases were the focus of a Bauxite City Council meeting on Monday.
Alderman Paula Matthews presented a recommendation to raise the minimum water and sewer bill by $2.
Currently, residential customers are charged $17 for the first 2,000 gallons of water and $8.50 per 1,000 gallons thereafter. Customer sewer charges are $12 for the first 2,000 gallons and $5.15 per 1,000 gallons thereafter.
The "Taste of Home Cooking School" presented by Homemaker Schools is returning to Benton.
The event is scheduled Thursday, Oct. 2, at the Benton Event Center on Interstate 30.
Thousands of dollars in prizes will be awarded at the event and every participating ticket-holder will receive a filled goodie bag.
Chef Jamie Dunn will be leading the event that will include demonstrations of recipes, products and homemaking ideas.
Local vendors will be present with samples to taste and numerous ideas and helpful information for area cooks.
A few years ago, Jamie Dunn was working as a home economics teacher in Oklahoma when she chose a different route for her life.
That path took her to the Taste of Home Cooking Schools and becoming one of several chefs who host schools throughout the nation.
She will be in Benton on Thursday, Oct. 2, to lead such an event at the Benton Event Center.
Dunn says she feels at home in this role.

LITTLE ROCK — Republican gubernatorial candidate Asa Hutchinson said Wednesday that Arkansas residents are about to be treated to something that voters in Iowa and New Hampshire see every four years — a barrage of political advertising.
Speaking to the Political Animals club in Little Rock, Hutchinson estimated that candidates up and down the ballot would spend $16 million over the next seven weeks on television and other media ads. He compared the upcoming ad blitz to the opening races of runs for the White House.

Alex examined his wound. It didn't hurt but it looked pretty bad. It was a deep bite mark with black around it. He put some disinfectant on it and bandaged it up, not giving it a second thought. He walked into his bedroom, got changed and went to sleep.
Alex was startled awake by a loud crash coming from the from of his apartment. He sat up, still partially groggy from sleep, and flicked on the light. He herd a shuffling in the hallway and got up to investigate it. He got up, opened the door and was suddenly shocked awake. Before him stood a grotesque being, it resembled a human, wore human clothing, but its skin was a slate gray and its eyes were pure black, it had bloodstains all over its shirt and hands and a few strands of raw mean between its teeth.
Before Alex could regain his composure it lunged at him and tried to take a bite of Alex's neck. They both fell to the floor thrashing about, Alex trying to get this thing off of him, the thing trying to take a bite out of Alex. Alex was in relatively good shape but it was still overpowering him. Alex threw him off to the side and rolled under his bed. He bumped into something long and cold. His baseball bat! He remembered he hid it under here in case someone broke in. He felt something grab onto his ankle and pull. he quickly jerked his foot away and grabbed the bat. Rolling out from underneath the bed he saw the thing stand up and look directly at him. Alex brought up his baseball bat and prepared to swing for its head. The zombie lunged and Alex swung with all his might. He felt the bat connect and brought it back to prepare for another swing. He looked down on his bed and saw it's unconscious body laying there. He bit his lip deciding whether to smash it's skull in or to leave it go. He decided to contact the police and leave that whatever it was where it was. He slowly tiptoed around the thing, prepared to swing at any moment, and headed towards the kitchen.
Alex got to his kitchen and picked up the phone. He listened to make sure the phone was working and herd nothing. He sighed to himself and checked his watch it was about 6:30, the sun would be rising soon. He decided to wait until it was light out to go outside and see what happened. He moved his sofa against the door, set up a chair across from it and watched the door until it was light.
This has been my life this month.

Alex looked into the mirror and checked his teeth for the 10th time in the last 5 minutes. He had an interview for a new job scheduled in half an hour and he wanted to look as presentable as he can. He grabbed his bus fare and walked outside to wait for the bus. He looked around and noticed nothing out of the ordinary, considering he lived in downtown Huntsville he expected to see a few people wandering around, a homeless guy sitting in the corner with a sign, and other similar things. He as he got on the bus and a man accidentally bumped into him.
"Sorry" he mumbled in Alex's general direction and hurried off in some other direction
"It's fine." Alex replied and quickly stepped on the bus brushing off the dirt only visible to him.
Alex showed up to where the interview was scheduled. He saw a large white building with no distinguishable details. He walked up to the front door and pulled on the handle. The door was locked. Alex rang the buzzer and waited a few minutes. He herd a slight shuffle behind him and felt a sharp crack on the back of his head, his head slammed against the door and he fell unconscious.
He came to and shook his head to clear it. He then realized that was a bad idea. It hurt. He checked his pockets and realized he had nothing in them other than his cell phone and I.D.
"Shit." He sighed to himself "Really?" He then began the walk home. The interview was about 10 miles from his house so he estimated it would take 2 to 3 hours to get home. After about an hour of walking his left arm started feeling a bit sore. He ignored it and kept walking.
He was about 3 blocks from his house when he noticed a shape shift from a shadowed alleyway. He turned his head to get a better look when it lunged at him. It grabbed his arm and pulled it up towards its head Alex jerked his arm away and retreated a few steps. He was looking at a woman, most likely 30 years old, blood spatter on her face and some on her clothing.
Alex blinked "Ma'm are you OK?" She unleashed a feral scream and lunged at Alex again this time managing to grab his forearm and bite into it. Alex screamed in pain and jerked away, using his momentum to keep running towards his house. He ran all the way home, locked and bolted his door, and went to the bathroom to inspect his wound.
Tell me I'm not the only one who finds this utterly hilarious XD

The WSJ reports:
AOL hired McCann Worldgroup to handle the campaign, according to people familiar with the matter. The campaign includes television commercials that Mr. Armstrong wanted to end with dancers dancing around an AOL logo – a move that not everyone involved in the campaign's creative process agreed with, according to people familiar with the matter. But Mr. Armstrong was committed enough to the idea that he personally attended auditions for the dancers in New York, according to people familiar with the situation.
(Emphasis is ours.)
That's a visual.
This is AOL's first big branding campaign since Armstrong took over as CEO, the WSJ pointed out, so he must be feeling extra pressure to really razzle dazzle us.

Hutchinson Center scientists are studying oral cancer's genetics, with the goal of improving how we treat the disease and predict its course.
Diseases & Research

Hutchinson Center scientists are studying oral cancer's genetics, with the goal of improving how we treat the disease and predict its course.
Investigating the link between oral cancer and marijuana use – Contrary to previous research findings, Marijuana use does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of developing oral cancer, according to a multi-institution study led by Dr. Stephen Schwartz and colleagues. Learn more »
Determining oral cancer risk factors – Drs. Stephen Schwartz, Chu Chen and Eduardo Mendez are working to gain a better understanding of how genetic, virologic and lifestyle characteristics work together to affect oral cancer risk and prognosis. They have found a connection between oral cancer risk and the presence of both human papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) in the blood.
Our investigators are also studying how a patient's environment might affect their oral cancer risk.
Predicting aggressive cancer – Dr. Chu Chen and colleagues are pinpointing the genetic changes associated with oral cancer risk and progression. Identifying these genetic patterns could help predict the aggressiveness of a patient's cancer and ultimately help doctors decide whether surgery, which can cause facial disfiguring and psychological stress, is appropriate. Learn more »
Preventing unnecessary surgery – Dr. Chen and colleagues have, for the first time, identified a four-gene set that signals when oral cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck. The discovery could lead to a test that helps doctors identify which patients require surgery to remove their lymph nodes. Learn more »
Restricting tumor growth – Drs. Chen and Eduardo Mendez have identified gene signatures in patient tumors that can better predict patient survival. Dr. Mendez is also researching innovative ways to block the same set of genes and limit cancer cell growth.
Advancing treatment – Dr. Renato Martins is testing new combinations of drug therapies to improve treatment of head and neck cancers.

Mike Z. writes,
Hey bro, do you mind going over a couple paradoxes? Zeno's paradoxes, like what's the deal with them. Trying to explain that shit is fucking hard, think you can do it?
So maybe one of the reasons you're having trouble explaining paradoxes is that paradoxes are fucking hard to explain, and that's the whole thing about paradoxes. What is a paradox? Roughly, something that makes us go, "Oh, I get it, just... fuck, that does not make sense." Sometimes they generate straight-up contradictions - those ones are easy enough to understand, but hard to wrap your whole brain around, which is the point.
So Russell developed this paradox and we responded by going, "Oh! Fuck, okay. Well, we have to get rid of that easy way of doing sets." We got lucky there, because we knew exactly what to throw out and how to start over and now we have set theory. Hooray! But there isn't always a clear culprit. Zeno's paradoxes bring that out particularly well.
"Zeno's Paradoxes" are named for one of several Zenos (Zenoes? Zenos.) from ancient Greece. A super-short version of a really famous one goes something like this: Say Achilles is running to his ship. No reason, just trying to keep in shape because he has a feeling he's going to be on this beach for a long. fucking. time. Now, to get to the ship he has to run halfway there first. So he gets to halfway, and now he has to cover half of the new distance. So he covers half of that, and now he has to cover half of this new new distance. He keeps getting closer and closer but he only ever gets halfway there, so he never makes it all the way.
It's like, if you owed me money, and you always repaid only half of what you owe me, you'd never pay off the entire debt. And then when you got to $.01 and started paying me half-pennies and quarter-pennies I'd be like "Fuck you, dude, forget it!" But with distance, according to Zeno, you can't do that. You have to cover the last bit of distance, but you can't ever cover the last bit of distance. In one sense, that's pretty straightforward - half is less than a whole, no teleporting through space. Got it. But it's confusing because it says you literally can't go places, and we've all been places. I've been lots of places, and some of them aren't even here, where I am now.
So, uh, what do I change to make it make sense? Do I get rid of the part where halfway isn't the whole way? Maybe if there's a smallest unit, like a penny but for spacetime, that would work. But we have no idea if that's true or not.* We know now that if you just keep adding (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8...) you get 1, but Zeno might be like, "Sure, asshole, after infinitely many steps he'd get there, but how is he supposed to take infinitely many steps in like two minutes?" Aristotle pointed out that as the distance gets smaller, so should time. You can read about the proposed solutions all over the place; in general we have a good handle on the paradox but there are lots of interesting ways to look at it. Zeno's paradox is confusing because it takes these really basic notions like "Half is less than a whole" and "space and time work pretty much the way you'd think" and builds a crazy, impossible scenario with them. It's not a hard scenario to comprehend; the real trick is resolving it.
Other times, paradoxes don't even contain logical contradictions. Moore's paradox, which comes to us from G.E. Moore, just says that it doesn't make any sense for someone to say, "It is raining out, and also I do not believe it is raining out." There's nothing logically incoherent about someone believing that it isn't raining when it actually is; we're wrong about shit all the time. The problem is someone just saying that as if it makes any sense at all. It's like, "There is a God, and I'm an atheist." Dude, what? Pick one. Even though there's nothing incoherent with some people being wrong about whether or not there's a God, I already hate that guy. So how do we resolve that a perfectly good sentence with no logical contradictions at all just sounds idiotic, no matter what? Maybe we give up the idea that the meaning of a sentence is only in what the words themselves mean, which was a preeeeetty popular view not too long ago.
The point is, Mike, there are plenty of paradoxes, and if you're having trouble with a paradox, it means the paradox is working. There isn't a blanket solution - they're all doing something different. They range from "So this shit is mathematically impossible is all I'm saying" to "Well that's fucking weird, huh?" Understanding a paradox doesn't mean accepting it in its current form so much as understanding what might be driving the contradiction you're trying to resolve - what does the beginning of a resolution look like? You'll go a long way toward comprehending philosophical problems if you can learn to understand a paradox without needing it resolved right away.

This isn't the story about a fledgling football program going into Tuscaloosa. It's the story of an old football coach, a grandfather, finding perspective in his late 60s. It's the story of a wake-up call that 34 moves and four teams and six coaching jobs and even a brick through the second-floor office window never provided.
"This literally has been the highlight of my career," Bill Curry said.
He is standing on a practice field that once was a dumping ground in a scarred patch of downtown. In front of him, a MARTA train rushes past on an elevated track. Behind him, a gutted brick building that once housed some homeless people is slowly being transformed into a field house.
This is Curry's Eden.
"To be with a group of young people, most of whom have been told they're not good enough, and show them how to succeed and have a meaningful life – I haven't felt like this in a long time," he said. "I wish I was mature enough to have the same objectives as I did before. But I didn't. I was caught up in the winning."
Georgia State closes its inaugural football season Thursday night at Alabama, the campus Curry left 21 years ago after basically being told he wasn't wanted.
The coach wanted to give his wide-eyed players something they wouldn't forget. Let's just hope that after this game, they can still remember the evening.
He will tell you this season has been a great awakening for him. He has been allowed to create a blueprint for a program. He has built it from the abandoned ground up. He has coached young men on the field and guided them off of it, without being pulled into a corner by the obnoxious, check-writing, booster buddy of the program who suddenly wants to call plays.
There has been a purity to this job that you seldom find in college athletics.
Georgia State has afforded Curry, at the age of 68, an opportunity to satisfy the same competitive instincts that drove him when he played for Vince Lombardi.
But more than all that, Curry will tell you this venture has changed him. He has grown up. In his previous coaching life, he was as consumed and obsessed as any of them. It wore on his family, to the extent that he said his wife, Carolyn, all but threw him out of the house one evening.
"I remember going home one night in Tuscaloosa and after dinner Carolyn said, 'Just go back to the office,'" Curry said. "It was very uncharacteristic of her to be so cruel and cold like that. I was stunned. I said, 'But I'm here,' and she said, 'No, you're not. You're sitting over there making recruiting calls. You might as well be at the office. You say you're coming home. You're not home. I know it. The children know it. Just go back to the office.' So I hung up the phone."
After pausing to collect his emotions, he added: "There were too many nights. Too many days. Our son nailed me about 10 years ago. He said, 'Look, dad, there was one thing we always knew. As long as your team won, it was OK to be happy at our house.' That broke my heart. I knew it was true."
It's different now. Game days are more like family reunions. Carolyn Curry even arranged for their two grown children, spouses and five grand children to gather on the field with him at the Georgia Dome before the Panthers' first game against Shorter. They all posed with Curry for a picture.
It will be their Christmas card.
A similar scene wasn't going to happen in Tuscaloosa. Whereas Curry is celebrated at Georgia State, he often was vilified at Alabama.
Losing to Auburn three straight years didn't help his cause. But he always was going to be viewed as an outsider there — a non-Bama guy from Georgia Tech. Even an SEC championship and two SEC coach of the year awards weren't going to change that. So he left.
School officials made it clear they didn't want him. The contract Curry was offered after the 1989 SEC title season did not include a raise and it stripped him of power to hire and fire assistants.
Curry: "The contract said, 'We'd rather have somebody else as the football coach.'"
His attorney's thought was to tear up the contract and throw it their faces. Curry's response: "I said we're not going to do that. Just tell them respectfully thank you but our choice is to move on." And he left for Kentucky.
Curry is over it. He said the last time he got bitter was "when Vince Lombardi got rid of me. It didn't occur to me that maybe I wasn't a good football player. When I got into coaching, I made up my mind that if somebody didn't want me, I'd just go somewhere else."
But he acknowledges some family members remain bitter about the Alabama experience. That includes the evening in 1988 when a brick was thrown through his office window following a 22-12, Homecoming loss to Mississippi, a game in which the Tide failed to complete a pass. Curry discovered the brick and broken glass the next day when he arrived to tape his weekly coach's show.
Curry joked, "My first thought was, if the quarterback had been as accurate as the guy who threw the brick, we wouldn't be discussing this."
He regrets not keeping the brick as a reminder.
"For some reason nobody took credit for it," he said. "I would've thought there'd be a thousand people wanting to be recognized."
When Georgia State suffered its first loss to Lambuth this season, nobody threw a brick, "except maybe me," he cracked.
His desire to win has always burned. But his job carries a sense of pure enjoyment and satisfaction that wasn't present when he left Tuscaloosa. It's not exactly a homecoming Thursday night. But 21 years later, he has something to celebrate.

I'm glad Curry is doing well. I am an Alabama fan that always thought he was a good coach that never had a chance simply because he was a Georgia Tech graduate and didn't have connections to the Bear. I'm glad he is having success at Georgia State.

so why did he leave GT? He beat Alabama and no one threw a brick through his window there. He could have had a long tenure my guess, no one was complaining about his record which was medocre overall. As a GT fan, these coaches leave for supposedly bigger and better, but you beat Bama while at GT, so you obviously had the kind of recruits that it takes to beat them. O'Leary does the same thing and looked what happened.

I don't think Curry was ever the Georgia Tech coach although I could be wrong about that. The only tie to Tech that I know about is he graduated from there.

The quotes pretty much explain why he left Alabama. He couldn't handle the pressure. It's that simple. The brick business is fabricated b.s.

And wrong I was – he was an assistant there in the 70's and later became head coach there. To a lot of Alabama fans that would be strike 2 (1 for being a graduate and 2 for being the coach). Thank you Wikipedia. I did not remember him coaching at GT. Of course I was a bit young then…

Great story. Great perspective. In a sport where most (including myself) get so caught up in W's vs L's, we tend to forget that these coaches area also husbands & fathers.

vmguru – Bill Curry was hired as head coach of GT in early 1980 and left after the 1986 season to be HC at Alabama. You won't see many GT grads shedding tears for the problems that he had in Tuscaloosa.
It's good to see that he is doing well with GSU, however.

great article schultz.

It sounded like a combination of losing to Auburn and the resultant poor contract offer more than the brick incident. To make that incident the reason is a stretch. Also I don't think the pressure had anything to do with it either based on Jeff's story about the contract. What football coach wants to accept what amounts to a demotion following a season where you won the SEC?

what is Georgia State's record? I know coach Curry is great to listen to when he is on the radio..Wish him well.. To play Alabama, hope they get a big pay day..I'm sure they'll earn it.

Jeff, no mention that he went on to play center for the Colts and Johnny U, after Green Bay? it would have been nice to counter with that, after his stint in Green Bay. You know just a suggestion.

Often lost within the Wins and Losses, is the fact that some football coaches are the only real male role model in a person's life. They can shape a kid to go down the right road in life when they are clearly pointed towards the wrong. Making a difference in someone's life can't be measured like a W, L, or even a National Championship.

He was phenomenal while at Tech! I think he could have got them a NC if he had stuck around a few more years. I used to love the black watch defense, and I'm a UGA fan.

Great article about a guy who obviously coaches for the right reasons. To put a program in place, and have a winning record the first year is very impressivem regardless of the opponents! Also, there must have some people at Alabama who remembered that he is a good man as well, as they gave him a game at Alabama to help make his first year a financial success as well. Good luck, coach.

Curry used to brag about being a "Tech man" til Alabama offered him their job then poof he was gone. He got Tim Couch to Kentucky but did not run out of a shotgun formation…. odd. He and his wife are very charitable. I'm glad Ga. State got him out of the broadcast booth.

What is not mentioned in this article are the death threats his wife and children received from the disgusting Alabama crazy fanatics. Like a man once said "to be an Alabama fan is to admit to having a mental disorder."

'just asking' asked, "so why did he leave GT?"
He left because he was convinced that it was a 'higher
calling'. He was recruited to change college football
there, and hopefully have his influence spread. He had a
reputation for honorable behavior and being a force for
good in his players' lives.
Unfortunately not everyone at Alabama bought into that, and
he was treated disrespectfully by many; and the rest is history.
The fact that he couldn't beat Auburn, even after winning
every other game one season, may have been the killer for the
Alabama fans and supporters.

I think his biggest problem, and he would probably tell you this – was the ego – He tried too hard to prove an outsider could coach after Bear. Plus, he was able to take that slice of humble pie and put it to good use at Kentucky – he did lay a pretty good foundation up there – he learned his lesson – and he got his life focus back Then his time at ESPN where he was always passed over for coaching slots makes one wonder if he gets a chance to coach again. Glad he is taking time to smell the roses this time around – it is hard to hear him talk about 'back when' – folks make mistakes – he admits them and has moved on, he will get GSU on solid ground. His biggest job is making those young men good citizens after their GSU days are over.
I think he does well at that. Reminding us all that this football stuff is not the biggest thing in the world, but opens the door to opportunities to grow as a person is a much more realistic sermon to preach to his players, their families and the football world. Do your best and be a good, respectful person – that's the Bill Curry philosophy that I like the best. Good choice, good man, and good for Georgia State and their athletics.

Several things:
-I've been a Bama fan for 40 years and have had best friends with dad's on the coaching staff. I have no idea where the head coaches office is located. I bet there are very few outside the atheletic adminis that do.
-There were many more people that wanted him to stay than leave. You'll never hear him talk about it but he knows that.
-It's funny he got fired at Kentucky with no football history and if he's had the same record against Indiana or Louisville basketball he would've been treated worse.
-I don't think Curry is a bad guy but bringing up the brink thing as an indictment of the entire Alabama program and its fans is a joke and he knows it. In other words only one person threw the brin…no more.

If Curry had stayed at Tech, he would still be the coach.
If Ross had stayed at Tech, he would still be the coach.
If O'Leary had stayed at Tech, he would still be the coach.
I liked Curry when he was at Tech because after the first three years, we were competitive with everyone in the ACC and in the SEC.
I think Curry knows now he made at mistake going to Alabama, but I understand why he did it.

Really nice story, Jeff. Thanks for writing it.
As a counterpoint, we have the comment posted by BAMAToNE. Excellent irony; although it's probably lost on the young man.
Love this quote from Curry:
"Our son nailed me about 10 years ago. He said, 'Look, dad, there was one thing we always knew. As long as your team won, it was OK to be happy at our house.' That broke my heart. I knew it was true.""
I'll bet that Nikki "I get my daddy back" Meyer could tell a similarly sad tale.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Two brothers are speaking out for the first time since the settlement of their civil lawsuit against the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay.
Todd and Troy Merryfield received $700,000 in an out-of-court settlement with the Diocese, after suing them for fraud, for covering up the history of abuse by a former priest.
Fr. John Feeney was convicted of sexually abused the boys, while Feeney served at a Freedom church in 1978.
But at a press conference Friday, the Merryfield brothers say their fight isn't over. The Merryfields say they'll have closure once they receive a face-to-face apology from the diocese.
"Money doesn't cure something like this," Todd Merryfield told FOX 11. "It never does. Anybody who tells you that, they are lying."
"But how long can you continue to go? I've had so many fights, almost physical fisticuffs with my dad over the years because they just wanted me to get over it, grow up, forget about it and I just couldn't do it," said Troy Merryfield.
After the Merryfields spoke, the diocese released a statement saying Bishop David Ricken reached out to the brothers in the hope of meeting with them personally.
The diocese also reaffirmed a statement sent on Tuesday after the settlement announcement.
"First and foremost, I would like to say I am truly sorry to Todd Merryfield and Troy Merryfield, as well as their families, for the pain they have endured from child sexual abuse and the lawsuits that followed," said Bishop Ricken in the statement.

The TRIAC is a zero-emission vehicle that's now on sale and canadian pharmacy online does the hybrid car one better by reducing one of the wheels and getting rid of the gas completely. It can reach top speeds of 80 mph and has a range of between 60 to 100 miles. An optional capacity boost battery adds 25 per cent on top of that.
Designed by Green Vehicles, the TRIAC, costs about $20,000 and comes in a nifty range of colors including, of course, green. The zero-emission vehicle charges up in six hours. Green Vehicles claims the mexico viagra charge is as simple as plugging in a toaster.

Hayward has emerged as a player who can take over down the stretch with his 3-point shooting and play-making and defense.
Meanwhile, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and Alex Burks all look like future pieces to the puzzle.
Jazz at the half
The MVP: Al Jefferson
Jefferson is the Jazz's top scorer (17.4) and rebounder (9.9). He also leads them in minutes (33) and his low-post ability makes him the No. 1 option, especially in the final minutes of close games. When he leads the Jazz in scoring, they are 9-4.
Big surprise: Bombs away
The Jazz finished 27th in three-point shooting last season. Executives Kevin O'Connor and Dennis Lindsey knew improvement was needed, but they couldn't have envisioned newcomers Randy Foye, Mo Williams and Marvin Williams would help make Utah a top-10 three-point team.
Best win: San Antonio.
The Spurs brought the NBA's best record to Utah on Dec. 12 before Mo Williams' three-pointer at the buzzer gave the Jazz a 99-96 victory. San Antonio owned an eight-point lead with 4:09 left but fell to 18-5 on Williams' game-winner.
Worst loss: Golden State.
On the night after Christmas, the Jazz played without emotion. Stephen Curry scored 23 points, leading the Warriors to a 94-83 win. It wasn't that close. Utah trailed by 20 in the fourth quarter and finished shooting 38 percent.
Key stat
The Jazz are 16-6 when opponents score less than 100 points and, recently, their defense is improving. Utah has won six of its last eight games and, in those victories, the Jazz have allowed 90.7 points. Only Charlotte scored more than 97.
The coach: Tyrone Corbin
It's tough to criticize Corbin. No team in the West has played more road games, yet the Jazz remain in the playoff race despite the rugged schedule and a damaging injury to Mo Williams. And consider: Utah is 13-5 in games decided by seven points or less.
Coming attraction: Brooklyn
Not only does Deron Williams return to Utah on March 30, but the Jazz start a potentially pivotal stretch. Beginning with the Nets, they play six of seven games at EnergySolutions Arena — just in time for a final push toward the playoffs.

James Stevens also witnessed the crash. He was behind the vehicle that the wrong-way driver crashed into on the freeway. He was able to pull off the road and help the victim. "I was on my way out to my mothers house... it was around 9:45 p.m." he said.
But what started out as an ordinary trip quickly turned into what could have been a deadly one. "I actually had to go around her, luckily she stopped or she would have hit me," said Stevens.He credits his training and experience working at a driving education school as teaching him to look ahead, a lesson he says saved his life.

Riot Games Files for "Defense of the Ancients" Trademark Following Valve's Filing for "DotA"Since Valve Software only filed for a trademark on "DotA", Riot Games has in turn filed for a trademark on "Defense of the Ancients". The filing by Riot came just three days after Valve's own trademark was filed, according to an interview with PC Gamer.
Steve "Pendragon" Mescon told PC Gamer that "the idea that one single company is taking control of the name of something that hundreds of people have contributed to is surprising," echoing earlier statements. "I believe DotA should always remain a community-owned product that modders, independent developers and game fans can continue to modify and play as often as they'd like."
The counter-filing and Riot's statements seem to be coming from some assumption that Valve is planning on releasing either a paid or non-modifiable product under the "DotA" name. No product has been officially announced by Valve at this time.
For the moment, Mescon is giving Valve "the benefit of the doubt because of their history," but remains concerned by "a single organization taking ownership of the name, the community at large would no longer be able to contribute to DotA like they have for years."
For more with Mescon, head on over to the full interview at PC Gamer.

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) -- In a speech that inched her ever closer to the 2014 U.S. Senate race, Alison Lundergan Grimes asked Kentucky Democrats Thursday night to "stand united" over the coming months.
"My fellow Kentuckians, I ask you, based on tonight and in the coming months, will we send a message that Kentucky is ready for new leadership in Washington D.C.?" the first term Secretary of State said. "Let me hear you say yes!"
On the fence for months, Grimes asked Kentucky Democrats to say 'yes' to their commitment to beat Republican Senator Mitch McConnell in the 2014 U.S. Senate race, while withholding her own 'yes' to the question Democrats are waiting for her to answer.
"Kentucky is tired of 28 years of obstruction and misleading leadership," Grimes said to the applause of about 500 people at the Jefferson County Democratic Party's annual Wendell Ford Dinner. The event is estimated to have raised between $60,000 and $70,000 to be split between the local party and the Kentucky Democratic Party.
With most other prominent Democrats ruling themselves out of the race and after actress Ashley Judd removed her name from long-speculated consideration in March, Grimes has emerged as the leading Democratic contender.
Louisville music promoter Bennie J. Smith and Owensboro contractor Ed Marksberry have already announced their senate bids, yet neither has significant funding or communications with national campaign organizations.
Other Democrats who have acknowledged interest in the race include Miss America 2000 Heather French Henry, environmentalist Tom FitzGerald and Lexington attorney Bill Garmer, the former chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party.
"It's too early to say we got to have somebody because sometimes you can push somebody in that didn't have it in their heart," said Bill Ryan, Jefferson County Democratic Party Chairman. "And there's other people out there that maybe have the money and maybe want to run."
Grimes' comments come one week after Third District Congressman John Yarmuth said her prolonged decision is a disservice to the Democratic Party if she ends up not running.
"We will have a candidate," Yarmuth told the crowd, "and I suspect that maybe that candidate is in the room tonight."
Yarmuth argued that polls and McConnell's own actions indicate he is vulnerable.
"I can be really brief tonight and just say, 'Mitch McConnell sucks,' Yarmuth said to applause.
McConnell's campaign manager released a statement to WHAS11 after the dinner.
"Mitch is focused on fighting for Kentucky, not the bickering and complaining of liberal partisans," said Jesse Benton.
The last Kentucky Democrat to run for U.S. Senate, Attorney General Jack Conway (D-Ky), told the crowd that Grimes is "doing it the right way," and explained to reporters that she is asking all the right questions of the Democrats who want to push her into the race.
"When you're getting recruited by the DSCC and talking to senators up in Washington, they make you a lot of promises, and sometimes those promises aren't always kept," Conway said in an interview. "And so, Alison is doing the smart thing when they make a promise, she's saying 'Okay, really? Are you going to help me make the calls?' Because there's not enough money in Kentucky to take on Mitch McConnell. It's got to be a national fundraising effort."
Grimes exhibited a healthy knowledge of opposition research against McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader.
"What we are doing here tonight will send a message that Kentucky is ready to have a senator that puts the interests of Kentucky first instead of their own, as our senior senator has done in voting against raising the minimum wage but all the while in 28 years quadrupling his own net worth," Grimes said.
In what appears to be a precursor of the gender factor in the 2014 campaign, Grimes also cited McConnell's voting record on the Violence Against Women Act and the Lilly Ledbetter Paycheck Fairness Act. She also linked McConnell to other Republican politicians' controversial remarks, the "legitimate rape" comments of 2012 U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin and the statement this week by Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) blaming "hormones" for increased rates of sexual assault in the military.
Meanwhile, Grimes responded to a newspaper attack ad by the Kentuckians for Strong Leadership SuperPAC which concludes that when Grimes attacks McConnell for obstruction, "she's signaling to Washington liberals that she would rubber-stamp the Obama-Pelosi agenda that McConnell is defending Kentuckians from."
"There have been ads across the commonwealth that have questioned who this Kentucky woman listens to," Grimes said. She responded by saying she wears a WWWFD bracelet, for "What Would Wendell Ford Do."
"I will tell you that this Kentucky woman is listening to Kentucky, and from what I see we would benefit to have a senator in DC that did the same," Grimes said.
Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden (D), the son of Vice President Joe Biden, was the keynote speaker at the dinner.

Whooping cough outbreak in 2010 tied to vaccine refusal
Three years ago, the worst whooping cough outbreak in more than half a century sickened over 9,000 people and claimed the lives of 10 infants. Public health officials suspected the resurgence was linked with an increase in vaccine refusals. A new study now offers validity for that hunch, finding that personal belief exemptions were one […] [Read More]

Comments about Cordoba 20TM-CE Acoustic-Electric Tenor Ukulele:
This is a nice sounding instrument, however, the machine heads are very loose. Lots of play between the gears. You will never keep it in tune unless you replace them.
If you decide to buy it, ask for a $15 discount; That's how much a set of Grovers (Grover 9NB Sta-Tite) will cost you. You will have to drill new screw holes to install them, but you will have a nice, in-tune instrument.

Comments about Cordoba 20TM-CE Acoustic-Electric Tenor Ukulele:
This is my first ukulele and I love it. It has great sound and its loud. You will have to tune it a lot in the beginning but thats expected with all ukuleles. It will get better later on. It's well built and feels good in the hands. The price is amazing for an acoustic electric. Also even though it's a tenor size uku it has a close sound to the soprano uku unlike other tenors that I've tried. I highly recommend this ukulele for beginners because you will fall in love and play forever and the fact that it's electric just makes it better. I do recommend that you go to a music store and play some ukuleles before you buy one. Overall I'm extremely happy with my choice [...]

Best Uses
Comments about Cordoba 20TM-CE Acoustic-Electric Tenor Ukulele:
I wanted a uke look and a uke plugged in sound. Ran across the Córdoba 20TM-CEsolid mahog tenor cutaway with active preamp/eq .
Made in Portugal
I like it a lot.
Feel: smooth matte finish
Action: good out of box - right nut height
Sound: VERY pleased that it has a sound akin to a soprano, not the ringing guitarry sound some tenors have.
Plugged in: roll back the treb, sounds like a uke. I always dislike the percussive "click" sound some UST pickups make. If you keep the treb and brilliance right, this one does not have that irritation.
Workmanship: Body finish, neck, all smooth and precise. Rosewood bridge a little on the grainy side finish-wise. A few mill marks on rosewood fretboard. No big deal on these. Interior wiring neat. No glue blotches. I like the classical guitar style tie on bridge.
Tuners: geared, white buttons kind of blah, tunes OK. Just OK, not super.
Wood: All solid. They say mahogany. It has a stripey appearance - maybe sapelle.
Smell: Glue and, dare I hazard a guess - I think I smell sapele, not mahogany.
Appearance: It has a humble ukey look - What I thought was a decal rosette (similer to Martin 15 series guitar rosette decal) turns out to be an actual inlaid rosette - nice. Pearloid fretboard markers are subtle, not flashy. Humble is good.
Intonation: Good. 12th fret harmonics seem right, with slight difference on the C string - pretty common.
Playability: Just great, as is from the box.
Strings: Came with Aquilla high G, no wound. I think some distributers may have it with wound C and darker strings. I like it as is.
Overall: This ukulele does what I wanted it for: A good plugged in sound and good acoustic sound that sounds more like a soprano than a typical tenor. A nice humble ukulele appearance. Big factor: I enjoy playing it.
Caveat: If you are looking for that ringing guitar-like sound of some modern tenors, this may not be for you.
Years back I played some ukes from Portugal and did not like them. Those were overbraced and quirky. This is not like that. It reminds me of the feel, sound, and finish of a moderate Chinese uke - like an Ohana.
I'm very happy with it.

CDC has been contacted about hoax email and Twitter messages stating that detergent packets distributed by a commercial manufacturer were contaminated with the bacterium that causes anthrax (Bacillus anthracis). These rumors are false. For information about anthrax, please see http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/anthrax/.
CDC has been alerted to a hoax involving a "Chronic Lyme Challenge" website with false information, including unauthorized use of the CDC logo (the logo was recently removed). This site does not have the support or approval of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For accurate information about Lyme disease, please check http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/.
CDC has received reports of fraudulent emails (phishing) referencing a CDC sponsored State Vaccination Program.
The messages request that users must create a personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov website. The message then states that anyone that has reached the age of 18 has to have his/her personal Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site.
