A word from Jean Georges
Jean-Georges opened in 1997 to critical acclaim. The jewel of Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's empire, the restaurant offers the very best in fine dining. Consistently awarded four stars by the New York Times and three Michelin stars, Jean-Georges presents exquisitely crafted dishes blending French, American, and Asian influences. Chef Jean-Georges is a master at maintaining the essence of ingredients while using them inventively to produce the best flavor. Jean-Georges' chic and intimate dining room was redesigned by Thomas Juul-Hansen, with striking lighting by L'Observatoire. Impeccable service, tableside preparations, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of Central Park and Columbus Circle all contribute to an unforgettable dining experience. Jean-Georges offers a three-course prix-fixe menu and two six-course tasting menus: a traditional tasting of the chef's signature dishes, and a seasonal tasting featuring fresh market ingredients.Continued

We were not offered winelist before the courses started to arrive. We table was not set properly. The cuttlery was thown on in between courses, spilling og wine on the linen. No wine guy. Food was good, but I would not grade it to a great Michelin restaurant. We were wondering it the US Michelin system is the same as the European?Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/12/2014Jean-George is our absolute favorite restaurant, especially for taking out of town guests for lunch.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 9/7/2014Excellent food, but multiple dishes were too salty, and I love salt. Also, only AAA five diamond restaurant I have been to that has salt on the table. Service slightly lacking. Also, only AAA five diamond restaurant I have been to that has messed up a course, which we had to bring to their attention. Many other St. Regis Jean Georges restaurants offer better service and perhaps food than this flagship.Special Features:
- Should not be a 3 star MichelinSineDined on 9/7/2014What made it a bad experience ? My friend is allergic to nuts - but when we got the chees they suddenly forgot and served bred with nuts - luckely I could taste it and she did not eat it and god some other bread. If she had eaten it we would have had to go to the hospital. Further most of the waiters were very impersonal and the moment they told about the menu they turned around - not a smile or a second if we had desired to ask any questions. The manager apologized when we mentioned it to her (about the nuts) and was very sweet.Special Features:
- Best ever!!ChrisdyVIPDined on 9/7/2014Our experience at jean George's was exceptional! The service was the best I have ever experienced, and the food was amazing. We had the summer tasting menu and the dishes were very tasty with wonderful presentations.

I just cannot say enough about this wonderful restaurant. It is worth every penny!!!Special Features:

- Akd75Dined on 9/1/2014Exceptional service and sensational food. Two choices of menu. Tasting menus or a selection menu from light to heavy meals. We chose to select out own. Scallops melted in mouth, charred corn ravioli with basil sauce was a dance on the taste buds. Chocolate tasting plate for desert was delicious- the ganache full of flavour. Cocktails are a much as well. Jean-George was a true highlight of our trip to NYCSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ~ Exquisite ~DitaVIPDined on 9/1/2014However high your expectations may be, they WILL be exceeded. All aspects of your dining will be experiential; from the amuse bouche trio, to the "before you leave" sweets. Whenever my schedule permits I dine at Jean-Georges for lunch.

- Best meal in years at JGCarolSDined on 8/31/2014My husband and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at Jean Georges on Labor Day weekend - at lunch (3 hours!). We each selected à la carte plates, along with some wonderful Champagne. Explosions of wonderful flavors and textures, incredible service beyond belief - so helpful and friendly (zero attitude). Of particular note: yellowfin tuna ribbons and foie gras with strawberry granola yum. Was so good, we returned the following day for an early lunch at Nougatine next door (same-ish menu) - again wonderful service and exquisite tasting food. Expensive (very) but worth it for a special treat.Special Features:

Interlobular arteries
|Artery: Interlobular arteries
Scheme of renal tubule and its vascular supply.
|Arteriae interlobulares renis,
arteriae corticales radiatae
|Arcuate arteries of the kidney
|Afferent arterioles
|Interlobular veins
Cortical radiate arteries (or cortical radial arteries or interlobular arteries[a]) are renal blood vessels given off at right angles from the side of the arcuate arteries looking toward the cortical substance. The cortical radiate arteries pass directly outward between the medullary rays to reach the fibrous tunic, where they end in the capillary network of this part.
These vessels do not anastomose with each other, but form end-arteries.
In their outward course, they give off lateral branches, which are the afferent arterioles that supply the renal corpuscles. The afferent arterioles, then, enter Bowman's capsule and end in the glomerulus.
From each glomerulus, the corresponding efferent arteriole arises and then exits the capsule near the point where the afferent arteriole enters. Distally, efferent arterioles branch out to form dense plexuses (i.e., capillary beds) around their adjacent renal tubules. For cortical nephrons, a single network of capillaries, known as the peritubular capillaries, surrounds the entire renal tubule, whereas for juxtamedullary nephrons, the peritubular capillaries surround only the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, while another network branching from the efferent arteriole, known as the vasa recta, surrounds the nephron loop (of Henle).
This article incorporates text from a public domain edition of Gray's Anatomy.
- ^ Due to the likelihood of confusing the terms interlobular arteries and interlobar arteries (both part of the renal circulation), these arteries should now be referred to as cortical radiate arteries, and the term interlobular should be left to the antiquities of the 1918 version of Gray's.

Five Cheap and Solid Dividend Stocks
Andrés is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Bargain hunters understand the importance of dividend yields when it comes to looking for undervalued opportunities. Dividends are more transparent than earnings or other metrics of value, and they also provide income while investors wait for the markets to overcome their excessive pessimism regarding a stock. These five companies offer juicy dividend yields and strong business fundamentals for long term value investors.
There's nothing like a sequence of bad news to create a buying opportunity in fundamentally sound companies, and that´s the case with Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) after facing negative press regarding product recalls, regulatory uncertainties and legal complications. But the company is one of the few in the world with an AAA credit rating, and it has an unquestionable trajectory of cash flow generation.
Johnson & Johnson is working to fix its problems, and at the same time it's investing for growth. The company holds one of the best pipelines in the industry, led by new drugs for oncology, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. New psoriasis drug Stelara is reporting very promising sales, and it could turn into a blockbuster in 2013. Paying a 3.5% dividend yield, and with 50 consecutive years of dividend increases, this global pharmaceutical is offering an attractive valuation and remarkable financial strength.
Sysco (NYSE: SYY) is the leading foodservice distributor in the U.S. and Canada, with about a 17.5% share of this estimated $225 billion market. The business can be hurt by rising food and energy prices, and the company makes nearly two thirds of sales from restaurants, which exposes Sysco to lackluster consumer spending.
However, size and economies of scale are a big advantage in the food distribution industry, allowing Sysco to achieve lower costs and higher margins than its competitors. The company yields a 3.5% in dividends, which is more than double the yield on 10 year treasury bonds, currently around 1.6%.
Investing in tobacco companies can raise some ethical concerns at the personal level, and both the legal and regulatory environments can be a material risk for companies in the industry. Although Philip Morris (NYSE: PM) has never lost a tobacco-related case, the possibility of having to face large legal bills in the future cannot be discarded. Governments all over the world are trying to curb smoking, and this exposes the industry to all kind of negative news coming from the regulatory front, including increased taxes, advertising restrictions, and anti smoking campaigns.
On the other hand, the economics of the business can be very powerful; tobacco companies sell their products to addicts, and that means a very resilient demand, even in uncertain economic times. Phillip Morris owns valuable brands like Marlboro, Philip Morris and Parliament among others, and the company has big exposure to emerging markets, where Asia in particular is one of the few regions in the world showing growing demand for cigarettes. The dividend is smoking hot too, pun intended, Philip Morris pays a 3.8% yield.
Waste Management (NYSE: WM) owns a leadership position in the stable and profitable business of waste collection with 271 active landfills and 294 transfer stations in the US. In addition to that, the firm has been venturing into the recycling business, building 22 plants which transform trash into energy. This last business segment adds growth potential to the company, but it has been generating lackluster earnings due to unstable commodity prices lately. Waste Management pays a 4.4% dividend yield, and those payments are well protected by the cash flows generated in the safe and traditional waste disposal segment.
Volatile energy prices and investor concerns about the never ending crisis in Europe are a double headwind for Total (NYSE: TOT). The company has a considerable exposure to the Eurozone in its chemicals and downstream businesses, but this is a global integrated energy play with attractive opportunities in businesses like liquefied natural gas – LNG – where Total is the second player in the world behind Royal Dutch Shell.
Total operates in a cyclical industry with high capital requirements, making it particularly sensitive to the economic scenario, but the risks seem already reflected in the company´s valuation: the stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 8.2 and it pays a juicy 4.9% dividend yield. I wouldn't expect big increases in dividend payments over the short term, as management will probably choose to preserve cash flows until better times, but Total is still a strong company with many valuable assets and solid long term prospects.
Few things scream bargain like a big and sustainable dividend yield. These five companies are offering attractive entry points for long term value investors, and they have the necessary strength to go through a challenging economic environment in the middle term.

A longtime benefactor and graduate of West Liberty University donated a former restaurant to the university this week to be used as an event center.
Gary E. West, who is a successful businessman in the Northern Panhandle, donated the building that once house Roadworthy restaurant and its parking lot to WLU to be used as an event center for both university functions and community events. WLU President Robin Capehart said the building will be known as the Gary E. West Event Center.
Capehart described West's donation as a perfect holiday gift for the university, from which West graduated in 1958. Capehart said the property, valued at $1.6 million, is one of the most substantial gifts the university has ever received. And, it's a gift that will be put to good and immediate use.
"As you can see, the building is a beautiful facility that has been carefully maintained and is capable of a number of functions," Capehart said. "As we examined our needs at the university, we quickly identified the fact that in last year alone, the school conducted over 100 receptions, dinners and other similar activities that hosted a considerable number of people. A great number of these events were held in venues that lacked the proper capacity, convenient parking or the ability to provide the appropriate food service. In addition, we often encountered occasions when more than one campus group wished to use a particular facility leaving other organizations without an adequate location to hold its event at the same time."
Roadworthy featured a restaurant and six cabins on 36 acres across Route 88 from the university. It operated for a while before it closed in 2009 after federal authorities learned its previous owner, Bernie Metz, embezzled millions of dollars from the Center Valley Credit Union. Metz pleaded guilty to embezzlement charges in 2010 and was sentenced in 2011 to 108 months in prison by a federal judge.
In April 2012, West purchased the property at an auction for $1.2 million. At the time, West said he was going to work with the university and had dual projects under consideration for the property.
"They will be doing some things and so will we. Right now we don't know what it will be long term, but it is a great piece of property," West said at the time of the auction.
West is maintaining ownership of the cabins and the rest of the acreage.
Capehart said the Gary E. West Event Center will be perfect for groups hoping to host events requiring catering and food service. And because the building housed a full-sized restaurant, the event center will be big enough for larger groups people who need enough space for socializing and seating. That's something the university can't really provide right now, Capehart said.
"We have to Student Union, but to use that, we had to move the students out, which isn't ideal," he said.
Plus, because the building is located off the primary campus grounds, adult beverages may be served at some events. That's something the university hadn't really been comfortable allowing before.
However, Capehart said the university will not be running a full-scale restaurant out of the old Roadworthy.
"I know that there has been some conversation regarding the use of the building for a full-time restaurant. When we examined that possibility, we quickly realized that as an institution of higher education, we are not equipped to undertake such a venture," Capehart said. "We have, however, discussed the possibility of providing some limited measure of food service to the public during special occasions on campus, such as athletic events or performances by our fine arts organizations. Those discussions are ongoing."

Essential Info
Chess Metaphors
When we play the ancient and noble game of chess, we grapple with ideas about honesty, deceitfulness, bravery, fear, aggression, beauty, and creativity, which echo (or allow us to depart from) the attitudes we take in our daily lives. Chess is an activity in which we deploy almost all our available cognitive resources; therefore, it makes an ideal laboratory for investigation into the workings of the mind. Indeed, research into artificial intelligence (AI) has used chess as a model for intelligent behavior since the 1950s. In Chess Metaphors, Diego Rasskin-Gutman explores fundamental questions about memory, thought, emotion, consciousness, and other cognitive processes through the game of chess, using the moves of thirty-two pieces over sixty-four squares to map the structural and functional organization of the brain.
Rasskin-Gutman focuses on the cognitive task of problem solving, exploring it from the perspectives of both biology and AI. He examines concept after concept, move after move, delving into the varied mental mechanisms and the cognitive processes underlying the actions of playing chess. Bringing the game of chess into a larger framework, he analyzes its collateral influences that spread along the frontiers of games, art, and science. Finally, he investigates AI's effort to program a computer that could beat a flesh-and-blood grandmaster (and win a world chess championship) and how the results fall short when compared to the truly creative nature of the human mind.
About the Author
Diego Rasskin-Gutman is Research Associate and Head of the Theoretical Biology Research Group at the Institute Cavanilles for Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, University of Valencia, Spain.
"[G]iven its rich discussion of how chess programs have developed, Chess Metaphors should appeal to both chess enthusiasts and those interested in cognition and the mind." — Melody Jue, The Information Society
"This book, in an accessible but profound way, approaches difficult but essential questions about the function of two types of intelligence destined to coexist as parent and child: human intelligence and artificial intelligence."
Miguel Illescas C
"Diego Rasskin-Gutman has gracefully surveyed modern ideas about artificial intelligence in a context of brain structure and function and of contemporary views about cognitive science. This wide-ranging book is unified by considering the game of chess, a rich source of metaphors relating to human problem solving, and the domain of the greatest victory for artificial intelligence."
Charles F. Stevens, Professor, The Salk Institute
"From the inner works of the brain to automata and artificial intelligence, Rasskin-Gutman's book offers a window to chess that goes far beyond the game itself. As in chess, it also opens multiple paths for looking at how the mind works and builds metaphors. A fascinating read."
Ricard V. Sole, ICREA Research Professor, Complex Systems Lab (UPF), Parc Recerca Biomedica de Barcelona
"In this highly original book, Diego Rasskin-Gutman weaves a complex but beautiful tapestry of ideas and emotions. Chess sacrifices mix with research on brain and the mind, and world chess champion Gary Kasparov meets Nobel Prize winners Eric Kandel and Herbert Simon. A winning move!"
Fernand Gobet, Director of the Centre for the Study of Expertise, Brunel University, West London, International Chess Master
"This literate and carefully crafted book leads the reader on an interdisciplinary journey using the game of chess as a unifying theme. Games have long been thought to be ideal domains for the study of human and artificial intelligence, and Rasskin-Gutman shows us why through a fascinating collection of anecdotes and explanations."
Murray Campbell, Senior Manager, Services Modeling, IBM TJ Watson Research Center

Volvo is intensely testing their brand new XC40 - a new compact crossover built on the V40 architecture. The vehicle was just recently spotted in Norway during a photo shoot, but now our spy photographers have caught clearer images of the future crossover in Southern Europe. The XC40 has been prepped to be a direct competitor to the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 .
As you can see in these images, this "brand new" XC40 is essentially a higher-riding version of the V40, so it will most likely adopt everything, from its design up to its engine line-up. This means that the XC40 will look exactly like the V40 , expect for the obligatory tweaks here and there to make it look like a crossover. Under the hood, we will see the same engine line-up as in the V40, including a turbocharged 1.6-liter petrol engine and a 2.0 liter engine with power ranging from 150 to 240 HP. Diesel fans will get a 155 HP engine. Volvo will also add an all-wheel-drive system to the new XC40 which will be available on high-grade models to improve the car's off-road capabilities.
Expect to see the new Volvo XC40 launched in September at the 2012 Paris Auto Show. Sales will begin in early 2013.
Updated 07/23/2012: Today we have a very cool rendering for you of the upcoming XC40. We hope you like it!

Understanding Mic Specs, Part 3
We've educated our blog readers on the importance of Operating Principles and Frequency Response as part of our "Understanding Microphone Specifications" video series and now, in Part III, we review Polar Pattern.
A microphone's Polar Pattern defines how it responds to sounds coming from different directions. Understanding this specification will help you maximize pick up of desired sound sources, while minimizing feedback and background noise.
Watch as we demonstrate mics with the following polar patterns: omnidirectional, unidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid and bidirectional.

Hammer of Doom News Report 07.02.12
Posted by
Robert Cooper
on 07.02.2012
News and thoughts on Alice Cooper raising money for cancer research, AC/DC's new wine label, Lamb of God's Randy Blythe being accused of having to do with a fan's death and more!
Welcome yet again, Metal Faithful, to the only stop you'll need this week on the heavy metal train, the Hammer of Doom. Still I am your metal missionary, Robert Cooper, and while this week has been very stagnant on big metal news minus one story, I wont be busting out my CD review section this week, because while I only have a few real newsworthy stories to talk about this week, the first story is quite a doozy. So beyond that, we'll start with some news snippets, then after the other news, we'll have the albums for the week and respond to reader comments, and of course we'll top it all off with the global metal song for the week.
So without further ado, let us open the doors and listen to...

Guy is a legend, but a band as big as Blue Öyster Cult should have no problem finding a replacement that is almost as good as Rudy.

There were a lot of little stories to comment on, but now let's get to the meat, open your hymnals and along with...
Randy Blythe gets a surprise in Europe....
This is the only really big story this week, and there is plenty of information on it, but I think it's best that we start from the beginning.
According to the Czech news web site Novinky, vocalist Randy Blythe of Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD was arrested earlier today (Wednesday, Jun 27th) in the Czech Republic and charged with manslaughter over an incident that happened more than two years ago.
Blythe, 41, reportedly got into an altercation with a fan who had come on stage during the band's show at the Prague club Abaton in May 2010 and the fan later died of his injuries.
After the 2010 incident, those who know the band heard the intruder may have been struck with a microphone before the security team forced him from the stage, reports Richmond's TV station CBS-6.
When LAMB OF GOD arrived on Thursday to play a show at the Rock Café in Prague with SKELETONWITCH and ALL SHALL PERISH, the local police brought the musician in for questioning. LAMB OF GOD's appearance at the venue was canceled later in the day.
When I first heard about this, I was highly confused, because it's not every day that news like this lands on the interwebz. Soon, the band's publicist, Adrenaline PR, issued a statement a series of statements.
"LAMB OF GOD management will be issuing an official statement on Monday(July 2nd) regarding the charges made against singer Randy Blythe. As no formal charges have yet been made and the case is only in the investigation stages, it would be premature to make an official statement filled with false truths or innuendos.
"Having said that, management wished to address today one false piece of information that has been included in many of the news stories released so far. Under no circumstances was there a fight of any kind involved. This incident deals with a fan that three times during the concert jumped the barricade and rushed Randy during the performance. It is alleged that the third time, security was not able to reach him and that Randy pushed him back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head.
"Again, until the investigation is concluded this weekend, nothing more will be released, but clarity and the facts needed to be addressed on this one reported point which is totally inaccurate."
In the time between when the news was dropped and the time I am writing this, many musicians have chimed in on their opinions, most of them boil down to, "crazy news, can't believe it, I think Randy is innocent". Though the three that tend to go a little more farther than that are from Disturbed frontman David Draiman, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, and Exodus bassist Jack Gibson.
Mr. Draiman said in response to a fan asking what he thought about Randy Blythe "slaughtering" a fan at a concert 2 years ago (which is what all these charges are over), Draiman replied...
"[Randy] didnt 'slaughter' anyone. The kid jumped on stage and started a brawl, and Randy defended himself. That his life was lost in the process is truly unfortunate, but Randy is my friend and he's no murderer. I feel for the child and for the family and for Randy, but you have to understand that ever since Dimebag Darrell [late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist] was assaulted, shot, and murdered on stage by a 'fan,' all of us have been very defensive/cautious of anyone jumping up on stage. I'm not saying that it's OK, or justified, or anything like that, only that it's an unfortunate/tragic set of circumstances, and that I know Randy's intention was not to kill the kid. That's my opinion. I've heard yours. That is all.""
In an interview with Nick Azinas of Peek from the Pit, Jack Gibson, who is the bassist of legendary thrash band Exodus, had this to say when Mr. Azinas asked him about his thoughts on the situation, Mr. Gibson has this to say...
"I'm very surprised that that happened. I mean, we've had very [much] the same type of thing happen. We had a guy get on stage and was singing with Rob [Dukes, EXODUS vocalist] arm-in-arm, and when Rob pulled the mic away, the guy didn't wanna go and he grabbed Rob's arm and twisted him and Rob beat the fucking shit out of him on stage for it and [rightfully] so. And I got in there and wanted to give him the boot. That's our stage when we're there, you know what I mean?! That's our shit up there — that's our stuff, our pedals, our guitars… That's our place. Everybody knows what happened to Dimebag [late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott who was shot and killed onstage while performing with DAMAGEPLAN in December 2004] — this guy just walks onstage and he's out of his fucking mind and shit goes incredibly wrong. There's a lot of bands that, after that happened, they just said, 'No people on stage, period.' For us, it's kind of part of our shows — letting people get up and jump off and all that stuff. We kind of have this… It's kind of a collective idea of who's been on stage too long. Like, you just know when a guy is not wanting to… You know, you get up, you can headbang, you can even come over and give us [a quick pat on the back], and run, and then you've gotta go — you've gotta go. I don't know, man. That's a little bit disturbing. Of course, I have sympathy for the kid who died and that he was in a coma, all that. Of course, I don't like to see anybody die or say that anybody deserved anything or whatever, but I am very surprised that that happened. And I can't imagine that a good lawyer isn't gonna get this settled, because it's like, if you come on stage, you're trespassing, you know what I mean?! It's almost like we just have to wait and see how this shakes out. I super-hope it [sorts itself out], 'cause that's a pretty serious situation, so I hope for [Randy] it's alright."
The third quote block if from Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, he weighs in by saying...
"[It's] complete and utter bullshit for [Randy] to be treated like a criminal for something he didn't do. Now fans can see first-hand why there's no stagediving anymore. Especially in the post-Darrell world we live in. [Referring to late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott, who was killed on stage by a crazed 'fan' in December 2004.] It's all fun and games until people get murdered, die and get arrested." He added, "Randy didn't cause that fan's death. That fan chose his path. People need to take responsibility for their actions no matter what the consequence. Of course it's sad that this person died, it's a tragedy, but it's not Randy's fault. I wouldn't have expected this to happen in Europe. The repercussions from this are going to make shows even more stringent than they already are."
The video on the website (
found here
) shows the incident in a pretty low quality light, at about 58 seconds in, you can see someone being thrown by Blythe from the front of the stage into the crowd. This was the first time that the kid was on stage, the time where he was kicked by Blythe is not shown, but it is said that he landed on his head after being thrown and that impact knocked him into a coma, which he later died from a few weeks later. It is truly a sad, sad story, and there is not a winner here, no matter what a court will say.
Though reports say that the place that they were in was a place that was very "stage-diver friendly" and the other two bands that were there did not seem to mind. If this was the third time that the fan in question had been on the stage after being kicked off by security twice, I can see why Mr. Blythe would throw him off. At the moment, it probably seemed like the right thing to do, though in retrospect, there was more than likely a better way that it could have been handled. I know it would not have been the metal thing to do, but after that third time, it would have been probably a better idea to wait for security to get him and have him thrown out. After you do whatever song is played, you explain to the audience that what happened to that guy was not what you wanted to happen, but he should have gotten the hint already that the baricade is there for a reason and you shouldn't be jumping it, so sadly he was made an example. Then again, he apparantly said "Come on Up" in between two songs, though whether or not it was directed towards the fan in question was never revealed. Regardless, throwing the fan into the crowd yourself is how you end up with charges placed upon you in foreign countries.
In my opinion, there is a certain fear that everyone has in the post-Dimebag world of concerts. You truly do not know what the guy jumping on the stage will do, and that can make people running up on stage to be a scary thing. That being said, this guy was probably a dumb kid( much like myself), and I can more than likely guess that he was not there to try and kill anyone, because if he were, he'd do it the first time he was up. He was probably just there to tell his friends that he did it. The guy's friends did say that he had not been doing any drinking or drugs at the time, so he was just being a knuckleheaded kid. The guy was 19, which is just a year younger than myself, and I can say as someone who is of that age, that I wouldn't really think twice about jumping on a stage during a concert, because it seems like it'd be a fun thing to do.
What Mr. Draiman said on twitter had some pretty good points in it, I have no doubt that Mr. Blythe did not mean to kill the kid, and that while the fear of what happened to Dimebag is a very real fear, he was not justified in throwing the kid off the stage, because by what I saw in the video is the kid rushed on the stage and Mr. Blythe grabbed him and tossed him off, which is a bit of a violent response to someone just being stupid, I didn't see the guy assault him in any way, which if he did, would deserve an ass beating. Which bring me to Mr. Ian's comment about how the kid chose his path, which is true, he very much did so choose it. The sentence right after kind of deflates his point though, that people need to own up to their actions and suffer the consequences, which unfortunately for Mr. Blythe is to face the facts that what he did, while not with the intent to kill, turned sour and ended up going horribly wrong.
The more I think about this, the more I think that Mr. Blythe should get some sort of punishment because it was his throw from the stage that killed the kid, no matter how you spin it, the kid being thrown from the stage and landing on the floor was what put him in a coma, which killed him. The accounts that I have read on the internet, which should be taken with a grain of salt, range from the kid was trying to attack him, to Randy Blythe was pretty violent with a lot of the fans that night that tried to get on stage, and seeing that I was not there, I can't comment much on that. But I don't think it should be too severe, mind you, because while a life was lost, and it was indeed tragic, it was not done with intent to kill, and Mr. Blythe was more than likely just trying to get the kid off the stage in a forceful manner. He may get off on the fact that it was accidental, I'm not defense attorney, but no matter what happens to him, no one wins, it was for the most part accidental, and a tragedy for all. Though reports say that he is out, or will soon be out on bail.
This is depressing, goddamn...I need a laugh....
Probably a little more tasty than drinking metal!
So it seems that it's all the rage to release your own brand of beverage nowadays if you are a band, since we've had Motorhead lager, Slayer wine, and now we get AD/DC brand wine, which has been available in Australia since last year, and Charlie Benante has his own brand of coffee.
Apparently, the AC/DC wine must be good, because it sold more than 50,000 cases since its debut last fall. What makes this stand far and above the other alcoholic beverages that have been gotten names slapped on them by brands?, hell if I know! As long as it's done dirt cheap, they should turn a profit.
Hanging with Mr. Cooper
According to AliceCooper.com, legendary rocker Alice Cooper made a quick detour from his "No More Mr. Nice Guy" U.S. tour on Sunday, June 24 to attend a fundraising event benefiting the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. OMRF scientists have discovered an experimental compound that has shown effectiveness in shrinking tumors in lab animals, and the proceeds from this event will help pay for the clinical trials needed for people suffering from a deadly form of brain cancer. Alice joined Shooter Jennings and his band on stage at the end of Jennings' performance, ripping through well-received versions of Chuck Berry's "Nadine" and the immortal Cooper classic "School's Out". After the surprise performance, Alice offered for auction a once-in-a-lifetime "On Stage With Alice" package, and legendary University Of Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer provided the winning bid! Barry's bid contributed $50,000 at the urging of David Chernicky (who also won an "On Stage With Alice" auction, having just performed with Alice Saturday night in Atlanta).
I know Alice is a nice guy, everyone has probably heard a story about the guy helping someone out, the one I always go back to is the one where he approached Megadeth about their drinking problems in the 80s. This is incredibly cool of the guy though, to offer a spot on his stage to help cancer research. If I had the money, I'd have given as much as I could, not just because it's a chance to perform on stage( still on my bucket list), not to mention, with Alice Cooper, who managed to make me like a Lady Gaga song. Even if you lose the bid, it's for a good cause, so you can't complain all that much.
Happy December 25th, Cheapasses!

Now for 3 albums from last week that didn't suck!

"Sui Caedere" by Eye of Solitude, which was a great death/doom release, that I suggest you go buy.
Of course, my pick of the week, "L'enfant Sauvage" by Gojira, which was great stuff, it was typical Gojira, with a bit more of a melodic touch to it.
Now that we have talked our metal for the week, let us let something else talk...
Not a bad article at all and I'm not lashing out at you or anything (And I have faith that you do have a life outside this writing for this site) but saying things like "oh yeah I heard that last album was bad or I hear this or that or blah blah blah" isn't very proficient. I actually enjoyed the last few Ryche albums and though it wasn't there best I find it far from sub par. We want to hear what you think not what you heard.

First off, thank you for your compliment, and I do have a life besides this, I'm a full time college student. You make a very good point, and my friends tell me all the time to stop going off of what I hear, which is a good suggestion, and I'm taking it to heart. I will look in to those Ryche albums soon enough, though.
Good column, but in the future, could you make it clearer that you're going to post spoilers such as the IM setlist. Either have the spoilers hidden or perhaps have a gap between the announcement and the setlist itself. Fortunately, I saw IM in Atlanta Saturday night, but if I hadn't I would be somewhat annoyed if I wanted to wait until the show.
BTW, that was a great show. IM was in their glory with a very theatrical show--the most theatrical that I've seen from them live, but then again I missed their recreation of the Powerslave tour in 2008. Plus, Alice Cooper was really on fire as his backup band was amazing. It's a shame that Cooper only got about 45 minutes or so, but he made the most of the time he had.

Hi, Michael L., welcome back. I didn't even think about them as spoilers, and not that I realize that they can be seen as such, I will make sure that should I ever post another setlist, I will put a spoiler warning first. I personally see them as an incentive to go to the show, so you'll know what you're getting in to. But I am very happy that you got to go see them, I envy you, I couldn't go myself, but I can imagine that both Alice and Maiden put on killer showings.
I have to agree with some of the previous comments. I think you are a very good writer but the last few or so articles I've read from you, you have only been going on what you've hard. Personally, I find it a little disrespectful to the artists when you just go by others opinions and just assume something is bad. I didn't like Queensryche's previous few albums at all but I heard them and therefore formed my own opinion. My brother loves them though but like I said: He heard them so he can state his opinion. But besides that this is a good article. Keep it up man and we hope to read more \m?

Thank you for the compliment, and as I said in the above comment response, that you have a good point, and I'll try to stop going by ear. You are right, I had a guy tell me once to give up listening to Death, because he thought they sucked. Needless to say, he was wrong and I wouldn't have made that realization had I listened to him. I will continue to keep it up, and you will read more, every Monday!
To wrap it all up, here's mu global metal song of the week, I'm gonna go to Mexico and keep going south...so this week we have some Mexican Power Metal with Voltax!
So if you have any opinions on the column, some genre or country that you want me to feature in the global metal column, or if you just want to talk metal....
you can e-mail me at email@example.com
tweet me at @themetalcoop
or comment below
So I will be seeing you heathens next week, and as my metal icon Chuck Schuldiner says
KEEP THE METAL FAITH ALIVE! \m/

U.S. National Security, Islamism and Globalized Conflicts
Robert G. Rabil
Lifelong Learning Society Distinguished Professor of Current Affairs, 2012-2013
Recipient of the LLS 2008 Excellence in Teaching Award
The end of the Cold War, and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, marked the height of the unipolar power of the U.S. But complex challenges and threats emanating from various, contested strategic areas of conflict have cast a shadow over U.S. national security. Scholars and analysts refer to the process of transition from a unipolar to multi-polar world to contextualize and understand the nature of these challenges and threats to U.S. national security. Significantly, Arab revolutions, the rise of Islamism, radical Islam, and Iran's nuclear program advances have underscored the complex and nuanced dynamics of these interconnected issues. This lecture series will attempt to analyze a number of conflicting security issues within the context of their local and international dimensions, with the aim of challenging certain misconceptions affecting U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

2. Islam and Islamism in Russia
3. Salafi-Jihadi in Nigeria: The Boko Haram

5. Islam and Islamism in United States
6. Israel, United States, Syria and Iran: The Coming Confrontation?

PLYMOUTH ŌĆö City workers disrupted a service line Wednesday morning, causing a gas leak strong enough for the Plymouth Fire Department to ask area residents to evacuate their homes. A one to two block area from Hogarth St. to Ewing St. and Bayless St. to S. Michigan St. was sectioned off while NIPSCO attempted to secure the situation.
"Sometimes you hit unknown lines and this happens," said Plymouth fire chief Andy Metsker.
"We are taking precautionary steps now, basically making sure nothing happens."
