Head of CIA apparently not intelligent-y enough to not secure official email
The golden age of spy sex had one advantage for spies besides sex. When James Bond was running around banging women with names like Bambi, he never had to worry about booting up his computer and reporting back to headquarters using the same email address that he used to keep the women straight in his black book.
Unfortunately for David Petraeus, times have changed. Now, when you make the mistake of dipping your toe – or other parts – straight into the crazy, you have to watch your back. After all, bitches be crazy. And crazy bitches call your other bitches. And then you can't be head of the CIA anymore.
Mrs Kelley told agents that Paula Broadwell, the 40-year-old biographer who has been identified as the ex-CIA boss' mistress, sent her harassing emails telling her to 'back off' Petraeus.
An online picture album posted by the family talks about meeting Gen Petraeus at the family's home.
'We and our family have been friends with Gen Petraeus and his family for over five years. We respect his and his family's privacy and want the same for us and our three children,' she said in statement on Sunday…
A government official told the New York Post that the emails contained such language as: 'I know what you did,' 'back off' and 'stay away from my guy.'
The official added: '(Broadwell) clearly thought something was going on' and thought she was in a 'lovers triangle.'
Apparently, Mrs. Kelly was a frequent dinner guest and social acquaintance of Petraeus, but their relationship didn't go any farther than some DC mixers and a couple of casual encounters. Paula, on the other hand, was pretty sure her secret boyfriend was secret boyfriends with other chicks, because obviously, if you're banging one, you're banging them all.
In DC, that's probably true, but most people are cool with it. Paula wasn't. And Paula somehow had access to Petraeus' official work email, which is weird, considering that he was the director of the CIA. And you would think that the director of the major intelligence agency of the world's most powerful military nation would have a hard email password to crack, but apparently, you'd be wrong.
In a way this has to be good news. Crazy bitches are more motivated than most, and apparently an excellent way to find mostly unintentional major breaches in American security. At least Petraeus had the foresight to poke around in the American pool and not take on someone with more sinister intentions than whacking any other potential suitors. I'd hate to see what would happen if he'd met that super hot Russian spy chick.
UPDATE: Apparently, Ms. Broadwell also had some interesting ideas about what was going on in Benghazi. As she once hacked the email of the head of the CIA to threaten and harass some chick she'd seen him chatting up at a party, I don't know how much veracity we can give to her claims. But you never know, I guess. I mean, setting her up would make for a much better Lifetime movie.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) - The Milwaukee Brewers swept the division-leading Cincinnati Reds Wednesday afternoon with a 3-2, come from behind victory at Miller Park. The Brewers trailed 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth when Carlos Gomez hit an R-B-I single to tie the game. Gomez then stole second, and Ryan Braun doubled to score Gomez with the winning run. Rookie Jim Henderson then picked up his second save in as many days, with a walk and two strikeouts in the ninth. John Axford got the victory by pitching a scoreless eighth. He's now 4-6. Dioner Navarro opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the third. Gomez belted a solo shot in the sixth. Jonathan Broxton took the loss in relief. Brewers' starter Randy Wolf struck out seven in six innings, giving up two runs on six hits with a pair of walks. Mat Latos went seven innings for the Reds, giving up a run on three hits with a walk and eight K's. It was the fourth straight loss for Cincinnati. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has won a season-high six straight at home. The Brew Crew is off Thursday and will open a weekend series at Houston on Friday night.

Possible Changes to Come in the USPTO
After the announcement that David Kappos was nominated for the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), there has been much speculation about possible reform programs that Kappos may enact.

The cultural and financial capital of the USA, if not the world, New York City is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors. Its past is visible in the tangled lanes of Wall Street and tenements of the Lower East Side; meanwhile, towering skyscrapers serve as monuments of the modern age. Street life buzzes round the clock and shifts markedly from one area to the next. The waterfront, redeveloped in many places, and the landscaped green spaces – notably Central Park – give the city a chance to catch its breath. Iconic symbols of world culture – the neon of Times Square, the sculptures at Rockefeller Center – always seem just a stone's throw away. For raw energy, dynamism and social diversity, you'd be hard-pressed to top it; simply put, there's no place quite like it.
New York City comprises the central island of Manhattan and the four outer boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Manhattan, to many, is New York; certainly, this is where you're likely to stay and spend most of your time. Though you could spend weeks here and still barely scratch the surface, there are some key attractions and pleasures that you won't want to miss. These include the different ethnic neighbourhoods, like Chinatown, and the more artsy concentrations of Soho and the East and West villages. Of course, there is also the celebrated architecture of Midtown and the Financial District, as well as many fabulous museums. In between sightseeing, you can eat just about anything, at any time, cooked in any style; you can drink in any kind of company; and enjoy any number of obscure movies. The more established arts – dance, theatre and music – are superbly presented. For the avid consumer, the choice of shops is almost numbingly exhaustive.
Manhattan is a hard act to follow, though Brooklyn is a worthy rival: there's the ragged glory of Coney Island, the trim brownstones of Brooklyn Heights, the foodie destinations in South Brooklyn and the hip nightlife of Williamsburg. The rest of the outer boroughs also have their draws, namely the innovative museums of Long Island City and Astoria, both in Queens; and the renowned Bronx Zoo and adjacent botanical gardens in the Bronx. Last but not least, a free trip on the Staten Island Ferry is a sea-sprayed, refreshing good time.
Brief history
The first European to see Manhattan Island, then inhabited by the Lenape, was the Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazano, in 1524. Dutch colonists established the settlement of New Amsterdam exactly one hundred years later. The first governor, Peter Minuit, was the man who famously bought the island for a handful of trinkets. Though we don't know for sure who "sold" it (probably a northern branch of the Lenni Lenape), the other side of the story was that the concept of owning land was utterly alien to Native Americans – they had merely agreed to support Dutch claims to use the land. By the time the British laid claim to the area in 1664, the heavy-handed rule of governor Peter Stuyvesant had so alienated its inhabitants that the Dutch relinquished control without a fight.
Renamed New York, the city prospered and grew, its population reaching 33,000 by the time of the American Revolution. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 facilitated trade farther inland, spurring the city to become the economic powerhouse of the nation, the base later in the century of tycoons such as Cornelius Vanderbilt and financiers like J.P. Morgan. The Statue of Liberty arrived from France in 1886, a symbol of the city's role as the gateway for generations of immigrants, and the early twentieth century saw the sudden proliferation of Manhattan's extraordinary skyscrapers, which cast New York as the city of the future in the eyes of an astonished world.
Almost a century later, the events of September 11, 2001, which destroyed the World Trade Center, shook New York to its core. Yet the Financial District bounced back with a new array of glitzy skyscrapers (as well as some moving memorials) to reassert the neighbourhood's preeminence. It was hit again, along with many low-lying waterfront areas, by 2012's destructive Hurricane Sandy, but the city is well on its way to recovering from that blow too.Read More

Sports in New York
Sports in New York
Seeing either of New York's two baseball teams involves a trip to the outer boroughs. The Yankees play in the Bronx, at Yankee Stadium, between 161st and 164th streets and River Avenue (718 293 6000, newyorkyankees.mlb.com). Get there on the #4, B or D subway lines direct to the 161st Street station. The Mets are based in Queens, at Citi Field, 126th Street and Roosevelt Avenue, Willets Point, Queens (718 507 8499, newyorkmets.mlb.com). Take the #7 train, direct to Willets Point. Tickets for games run $15–30.
New York's football teams – the Jets and Giants – play at the Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey (201 935 8500, metlife.com). Buses from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, serve the stadium. Tickets for both teams are always officially sold out well in advance, but you can often get seats (legally) from websites such as stubhub.com.
There are three New York pro teams: the NBA Knicks (nba.com/knicks) and the WNBA Liberty (wnba.com/liberty), both of which play at Madison Square Garden, West 33rd Street at Seventh Avenue (212 465 6741, thegarden.com); and the Brooklyn Nets (nba.com/nets), who call Barclays Center, 620 Atlantic Ave, at Flatbush Ave (917 618 6700, barclayscenter.com) home. Tickets for the Knicks are very expensive, and, due to impossibly high demand, available in only limited numbers, if at all. Nets tickets are easier to score, while the women's games are fairly exciting and cheaper (starting at a little over $10, though they can be much more).
New York's hockey team, the Rangers (rangers.nhl.com), also plays at Madison Square Garden; tickets range from $50 to $370. Starting in 2015–16, the New York Islanders (islanders.nhl.com) will skate at the Barclays Center. The area soccer team, the New York Red Bulls (877 727 6223, newyorkredbulls.com; tickets $23–73), play over in Harrison, New Jersey; a second pro team, New York City FC, starts play in 2015.
Prices for accommodation in New York are well above the norm for the USA as a whole. Most hotels charge more than $200 a night (although exceptions for under $100 a night do exist), and for anything better than four stars you'll be lucky to pay less than $400. Most of New York's hotels are in Midtown Manhattan, though more and more chic spots are being built downtown. Booking ahead is strongly advised; at certain times of the year – May, June, September, October and the run-up to Christmas and New Year, for example – everything is likely to be full. Hostels offer savings, and run the gamut in terms of quality, safety and amenities. It pays to do research ahead of time to ensure satisfaction upon arrival. Average hostel rates range from $30 to $60.
New Yorkers take their food very seriously, and are obsessed with new cuisines, new dishes and new restaurants. Certain areas hold pockets of ethnic restaurants, especially in the outer boroughs, but you can generally find whatever you want, wherever (and whenever) you want. You can also find examples of a recent trend, the food truck, scattered all around town, serving lobster rolls, Korean tacos and much more. Check @nycfoodtruck on Twitter locations.
New York's best bars are, generally speaking, in Downtown Manhattan – the West and East villages, Soho and the Lower East Side – and in outer-borough hoods like Williamsburg, Red Hook and Long Island City. Most places serve food of some kind and have happy hours sometime between 4pm and 8pm during the week.
You'll never be at a loss for something fun or culturally enriching to do while in New York. The live music scene, in particular, well reflects New York's diversity: on any night of the week, you can hear pretty much any type of music, from thumping hip-hop to raging punk, and, of course, plenty of jazz. There are also quite a few dance clubs, where you can move to hard-hitting house or cheesy tunes from the 1970s and 80s.
Performing arts and film
Performing arts and film
Home to Broadway and 42nd Street, New York is one of the world's great theatre centres. Even if you're not normally a theatre buff, going to see a play or a musical while here is virtually de rigueur. The various theatre venues are referred to as Broadway, Off-Broadway or Off-Off Broadway, representing a descending order of ticket price, production polish, elegance and comfort. Classical music, opera and dance are all very well represented, too. As for film, you couldn't hope for better pickings: the city has several large indie theatres, assorted revival and arthouse cinemas and countless Hollywood-blockbuster multiplexes. Last but not least, NYC has many excellent comedy clubs.
Gay New York
Gay New York
There are few places in America where gay culture thrives as it does in New York. Chelsea (centred on Eighth Ave, between 14th and 23rd sts), the East Village and Hell's Kitchen have replaced the West Village as the hubs of gay New York, although a strong presence still lingers around Christopher Street. There's Brooklyn's Park Slope, too, though perhaps more for women than for men. The free weekly Gay City News, Next and GO have listings.
When it comes to consumerism, New York leaves all other cities behind. Midtown Manhattan is mainstream territory, with the department stores, big-name clothes designers and larger chains. Downtown plays host to a wide variety of more offbeat stores – SoHo is perhaps the most popular shopping neighbourhood in these parts, and generally the most expensive. Affordable alternatives for the young and trendy are available in the Lower East Side; good vintage clothing can be found there, in the East Village and in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Grossmith, George
Adult Fiction GROSSMI
Summary: `Why should I not publish my diary? I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see - because I do not happen to be a `Somebody' - why my diary should not be interesting.' The Diary of a Nobody (1892) created a cultural icon, an English archetype. Anxious, accident-prone, occasionally waspish, Charles Pooter has come to be seen as the epitome of English suburban life. His diary chronicles encounters with difficult tradesmen, the delights of home improvements, small parties, minor embarrassments, and problems with his troublesome son. The suburban world he inhabits is hilariously and painfully familiar in its small-mindedness and its essential decency. Both celebration and critique, The Diary of a Nobody has often been imitated, but never bettered. This edition features Weedon Grossmith's hilarious illustrations and is complemented by an enjoyable introduction discussing the book's social background and suburban fiction as a genre.

An Indiana man appeared in court to withdraw his guilty plea after being charged with setting fire to the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo last fall.
After pleading guilty in December, Randy Linn asked to change his plea in January because he made a mistake and was emotional, depressed. His attorney tried to make the argument that he was insane and incompetent, and tired from working everyday.
Prosecutors, as well as the judge, responded that since he was working, he was competent and took the plea under oath.
The guilty plea will stand. Linn is scheduled to be sentenced April 16.

BlackBerry Competition Heats Up, Short Interest Rises
Christopher is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Last Tuesday, BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) held its annual shareholders meeting in Waterloo, Ontario, where management formally changed its name from Research In Motion. Shareholders approved the name change by more than two-thirds of the votes cast. This year marks BlackBerry's transition from a mobile communications company into a mobile computing company. However, the latest first quarter earnings results have left investors unimpressed by the turnaround.
During the shareholder meeting, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins explained his three-stage transformation plan to bring BlackBerry back to profitability. The company completed the first stage over the past year by refocusing on the brand, increasing company sentiment, reducing costs and sustaining a strong liquidity position. BlackBerry is in the second stage of its turnaround, aiming to build and invest in BlackBerry 10 and its Enterprise Solution for businesses. The third stage focuses on benefiting from the company's changes and investments and returning to profitability.
Dismal Earnings
BlackBerry announced a net loss of $84 million or $0.16 per share, down from a net profit of $98 million or $0.19 per share in the previous quarter. In the same period last year, BlackBerry posted a loss of $518 million or $0.99 per share. BlackBerry expected to breakeven for the quarter. Revenue came in at $3.07 billion, up from $2.8 billion a year ago and up 15% sequentially from the previous quarter. Gross margin fell to 33.9% from 40.1% last quarter.
Management blamed part of its profit losses on Venezuelan foreign currency regulations that shaved off $0.10 per share from the bottom line. The Venezuelan restrictions cost BlackBerry $72 million in service revenues and 2% in gross margins. BlackBerry's results fell short of consensus expectations of $0.06 earnings per share on $3.4 billion in revenues. The company reported that it will not make an operating profit in the current (second) quarter.
BlackBerry ended the quarter with 72 million subscribers, down from 76 million and 79 million subscribers in the preceding quarters. Subscribers decreased in Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and North America. The company gained ground in Asia-Pacific with additional users. Investors expected the subscriber base to stabilize after the launch of BlackBerry 10, but the company continues to lose subscribers to handsets powered by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) operating systems.
Although BlackBerry reported weaker-than-expected earnings, the company posted a stronger balance sheet than previous quarters. The company increased its cash and investment balance to $3.1 million and recorded no outstanding debt. The company saved $1 billion in costs with its restructuring program that minimized its workforce and manufacturing facilities.
Investors hammered the stock below $11 per share, down more than 28% in pre-market trading after the company's disappointing earnings report - price levels seen in November before the launch of BlackBerry 10. At the time of writing, the stock trades at $9.28 per share.
Some believe BlackBerry has no future in the smartphone market and that it will go out of business. It is difficult to make these allegations when BlackBerry has no debt on its balance sheet and holds billions of dollars in the bank. The company may become a takeover target - an expensive takeover target that will reward shareholders.
The smartphone market has become more competitive than six years ago when BlackBerry and Apple dominated. Since then, other competitors caught up and flooded the market with differentiated products at competing price levels. Some feel the company underestimated the smartphone market and entered too late with its new BlackBerry 10 handsets. The company has struggled to recover market share from Apple and Google in the U.S. smartphone market - a competitive market that Heins believes BlackBerry needs to penetrate to remain relevant.
According to market research firm Kantar, Google's Android operating system dominated the United States with 52% market share during the second quarter. Apple closed the gap with 41.9% share. Apple's partnership with T-Mobile helped the iPhone maker become the best selling smartphone on T-Mobile in the three-month period ending in May. T-Mobile dumped subsidies and two-year contracts and offered unlocked iPhones at full price - a hit with U.S. customers.
"The highly anticipated release of the iPhone on T-Mobile has benefited iOS in the latest three-month period, though it has not yet impacted T-Mobile's share in the market," said Dominic Sunnebo from Kantar. Apple's iPhone sales made up 31% of T-Mobile's smartphone sales over the second quarter. AT&T and Verizon accounted for 60.5% and 43.8% of iPhone's sales, respectively.
Microsoft Threat
Microsoft's Windows Phone placed third in the U.S. market at 4.6%, up one percentage point year-over-year. Kantar did not mention BlackBerry in the report. During the three-month period ending in March, BlackBerry OS ranked third with 5.2% market share, down from 27.1% in March 2011, according to data compiled by market researcher comScore.
BlackBerry's lucrative niche enterprise market that provides services to corporate customers faces stiff competition from rival operating systems with powerful security offerings. MobileIron CEO Bob Tinker believes Microsoft is steadily stealing share from BlackBerry. MobileIron produces smartphone management software used by 5,000 companies.
"Most of our customers have been planning to support three mobile operating systems - iOS, Android and either Windows Phone or BlackBerry," Tinker told Bloomberg. "The recent results indicate that BlackBerry is not going to be the third."
Pete Devenyi, SVP of Enterprise Software for BlackBerry, stated that the company has received strong support for its operating system. "The adoption of BlackBerry 10 has been very much in accordance with our expectations," Devenyi told Bloomberg. During the shareholder meeting, Heins said that 19,000 companies have tested and deployed BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 - about 60% of BlackBerry's Fortune 500 customers.
Short Interest
Source : Short Analytics (click image for bigger picture)
Short interest in BlackBerry has doubled over the past 12-months, contributing to wild swings in the stock price. As of June 28, 184.4 million shares of BlackBerry are held short, up from 182.6 million shares on June 14. The average number of days to cover decreased from 9.4 to 5.3 days. With more than 35% of shares short, the company has become an unattractive investment opportunity. If BlackBerry successfully completes its transformation process and returns to profitability, short-sellers may cover their short positions to lock-in profits—causing the stock price to increase and attract new investors to the company.
Heins wants investors to understand that re-inventing a company is a difficult task and it does not happen overnight. Investors need to stay patient during the full roll-out of BlackBerry's products and services in order to see a return on their investment. In the short-term, BlackBerry remains an unattractive company compared to Apple, Google and Microsoft. In the long-term, BlackBerry strives to grow the business with its revamped product ecosystem, return to sustainable profitability and recover lost market share from competing brands. Patient investors will benefit from BlackBerry's turnaround.

Woodworker's Journal
Two speed settings will optimize the nailer for different nail lengths. Speed Setting 1 is helpful for driving shorter 2- to 3-in. nails. It also extends the number of shots per battery charge and produces less vibration in the tool, reducing user fatigue. Speed Setting 2 will drive longer 3-1/4- or 3-1/2-in. nails consistently and powerfully.
The DCN692 can be set to either bump or sequential firing modes, depending on the fastening application, and it can also be adjusted for nail depth. In the event of a jammed nail or stalling, caused by low battery charge, a release lever allows the user to clear the jam and reset the tool's internal driver blade. Plus, for early detection, an indicator light warns the user of a stall or low battery charge level.
This gun accepts 30- to 34-degree paper-tape collated nails from various brands, in clipped and full round offset styles. Or, choose from among DeWALT's new line of framing nails.
You can buy the new DCN692 Dual-speed Cordless Framing Nailer as a kit, which includes a 70-minute charger and single XR 20V Max 4.0AH battery pack for $499.99 (model DCN692M1). Or, choose the nailer alone in the "bare" configuration (model DCN692B) for $399.99 and use your other 20V Max tool batteries to power it. Both kit and bare versions will be available this month from DeWALT retailers.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

At 78, Roy Haynes is only a year younger than Max Roach, but jazz history pigeonholes them as first- and second-generation bebop drummers. Each was a wunderkind who initially made his reputation with swing titansRoach with Benny Carter, Haynes with Lester Young. But Roach was the first to assimilate Charlie Parker's radical redesign"Ko Ko" was as much a coming out for him as for Parker and bop itselfand by 1949, when he asked Haynes to replace him in Parker's quintet, a chair Haynes held until 1952, Roach's influence was pervasive and absolute, as Haynes readily acknowledges. Roach had changed everything. It took nothing away from Sid Catlett's rolling authority or Buddy Rich's heart-stopping stickwork or Jo Jones's majestic hi-hat tattoos to realize that they were all inadequate to a music that demanded the drummer's increased collaboration in shaping themes and propelling soloists. Stylish timekeeping was now supplemented by simultaneous rhythms (and the independent limbs that made them possible), which redefined and deconstructed time while keeping it steady and resolute.
Roach wasn't aloneKenny Clarke had worked out many of the same ideas, and there were othersbut he was the most ingenious, resourceful, venturesome drummer of his generation. Even drummers who didn't want to play bop envied his reflexes, panache, freedom, and adamant musicality. As Burt Korall points out in the illuminating Drummin' Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz: The Bebop Years, even Buddy Rich, who knew he could paradiddle Roach or anyone else into oblivion, was obliged to consider the limits of supersonic paradiddling. Korall justly observes that Rich "ran Roach out of the recording studio" when they recorded together in 1959, but an earlier unspoken contest tells a different story: the records each man made with Parker, where Roach is exalted and Rich frequently at sea.
Haynes was never at sea during a singular career that ranges from Louis Armstrong to Pat Metheny and includes prominent alliances with Young, Parker, Bud Powell, Lennie Tristano, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Thelonious Monk, Jackie McLean, Chick Corea, and David Murray, among many, many others. One reason traditionalists and avant-gardists as well as modernists like working with him is that, as Korall writes, musicians "find it difficult to coast" when Haynes is monitoring every bar with the "broken rhythms, provocative syncopation, and improvisatory, Haynes-tailored techniques that no one ever has been able to duplicate." One reason Haynes was often relegated to Roach's shadow is that he put off becoming a leader. In the mid '50s, when Roach found Clifford Brown and created one of the great bands of the day, Haynes was exhibiting an unequaled meld of restraint and aggression as Vaughan's drummer. As the ideal accompanist, he received less attention than his peers or even the most prominent of the musicians he decisively influenced, including Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, and Jack DeJohnette. Yet not even Roach could match him for pure spontaneity.
Haynes's brash watchfulness keeps his music in a state of suspended agitationhe makes listeners and musicians feel secure and wary at the same time. He commands the drums and the rhythm like a general looking over a field, apparently willing to try anything and confident he has the discipline to make it work. Haynes has never lacked confidence or felt obliged to direct his virtuosity toward the obvious fulfillments of speed and flash. As a soloist, he lets his music breathe, storing ideas during rests and following through with great exhalations of ingenuity. In his taste and control, he recalls Roach, but his playing has more immediacy and wit. On some level, Roach is a fundamentally more serious player; his solos sometimes exude a calculated gravity, as if he has a point to make and is intent on seeing it through. Haynes more often indicates a playful impulsiveness, a carefree emotionalism. (Yes, there are exceptions both ways.) Roach is known for drum solos written in homage to Catlett and Jones that never wear out their welcome; it's hard to imagine Haynes playing the same solo twice.
All of which is intended as prelude to two stunning new CDs, recorded last year for a subsidiary of Sony Music Japan called Eighty-Eight's, and now released here by Columbia. The happy few who remember the mid '70s as a golden moment in jazz history may remember the stylish Japanese label East Wind, which teamed Hank Jones with Ron Carter, and Tony Williams and Art Farmer with Cedar Walton; its founder, Yasohachi Itoh, is behind the new venture, which has released four discs heavy on drumming. Eddie Henderson's So What is burdened by its Miles concept, though Billy Hart and Victor Lewis rise above it. Ravi Coltrane's Mad 6 is more rewarding, and impressively launches drummer Steve Hass. The Haynes and Roach discs, however, are must-haves, each borderline miraculous.
Only Haynes could have made Love Letters, involving two all-star units of younger playersKenny Barron alone was born within two decades of him. It isn't the talent pool that makes the disc (recorded in two days) momentous, but the relieved joy that informs the playing, the absence of bandleader fretting and record-making indecision. In responding to Haynes's nonstop challenges, the participants cavort with the heedless joy and friendly one-upmanship that brought them to jazz in the first place. If you were bewildered by the recent Christian McBride, bored by the recent Joshua Redman, exasperated by the recent John Scofield, you get to hear them make their bones all over again, in company with Dave Holland and David Kikoski. Relieved of the responsibility of devising a concept or a selling point or a novelty, they go with the flow, which with Haynes paddling must have felt more like white-water rafting.

Your Friday Plans: Out of Place art show! »
There is still time for you to fit this into your social schedule: there is going to be a pretty awesome art show at SPACE gallery (that's right next to the Hemlock, on Polk St.) tonight from 8 p.m. to midnight. Nine decently awesome artists are showing work—including me (but I'm indecently awesome)!
The door fee is a paltry $3, which for the first 25 people gets them a bag of goodies. There will also be vegan pastries from Black Orchid Bakery (which we've been dying to try for a while now!), some DJ, and a live art battle (not entirely sure how that's going to go down, but I think it'll be cool)!
Complete info at Paper Hat Productions and the Facebook event page.

Latest Castings at WilliamHiggins.com
Borek Nowy live in Novy Bor. He is a fine looking guy, with a nice, slim build. He looks good as he gets naked, showing off a very nice cock, as well as a hot ass, with the cheeks spread to show off his tight hole.
Lotar Bojar is from Kytin. What a handsome guy he is, looking very good indeed. As he gets naked we see that Lotar is also very well built, that body looks great. He also makes his cock good and hard for his casting, before showing off a nice ass, with the cheeks spread to reveal a dark, hairy hole.
Roland Bardem is from Buenes Aires, Argentina. He is a really handsome guy, and he has a great body too. He really looks wonderful as he opens his shirt and shows off a great chest. A big smile on his face reveals how much he enjoys posing for the camera. Roland strips to his rather bright underwear, and then poses some more. His crotch is nicely bunched and his ass stretches the fabric. Despite not getting fully naked he is very impressive indeed.
Zdenek Dobrotil is from Usti nad Labem. This good looking guy called in at the studio one day and we did the casting right there and then. He looks so good as he gets naked, showing off his hot chest and then his whole body. From his beautifully rounded ass to his cock, surrounded by a lovely bush Zdenek looks very good. He looks even better when he gets that fat cock nice and hard and then also spreads his hairy ass to reveal a nice, tight hole.

Benign hematology encompasses a large number of inherited and acquired blood diseases. Many blood disorders are relatively mild, but some are challenging chronic conditions. All require accurate diagnosis and careful management. The Benign Hematology Program at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin includes nationally and internationally recognized physicians with expertise in the care and treatment of blood diseases.
The team is comprised of Medical College of Wisconsin physicians, as well as the physicians of BloodCenter of Wisconsin and its Comprehensive Center for Bleeding Disorders. All work closely together, bringing in additional expertise from Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin as needed to evaluate, manage and treat patients who have blood diseases.
The physicians in the Benign Hematology Program have advanced training in the treatment of bleeding disorders, clotting disorders and other hematologic problems. Each physician focuses on a specific set of blood disorders and has experience addressing the unique challenges of particular diseases. Staff members also have expertise in the laboratory science that is critical to blood disease diagnosis and treatment planning. Together, our physicians form a complete team that offers comprehensive care.
The diagnosis of a blood disease raises many questions and concerns. The Benign Hematology Program is designed to provide patients and their families with the help and support they need. Physicians and nurses in the program focus on making patients feel at ease, know they are understood and fully equipped to meet their health challenges. Patients also have access to a full range of support services.
The Benign Hematology Program maintains a close working relationship with BloodCenter of Wisconsin. BloodCenter provides many blood clotting factors that are key to the treatment of patients with bleeding disorders. BloodCenter's Hemostasis Reference Laboratory provides comprehensive diagnostic testing for bleeding, clotting and platelet function disorders and many rare blood conditions. BloodCenter's Platelet and Neutrophil Immunology laboratory provides diagnostic testing for suspected immune thrombocytopenic and neutropenic disorders.
Patients on blood thinners receive ongoing medication management through the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Anticoagulation Clinic. Pharmacists in the clinic carefully monitor patient blood tests and adjust medication doses accordingly. The Anticoagulation Clinic is located in the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Specialty Clinics building.
Some blood diseases can be treated with a blood and marrow transplant (BMT), an advanced therapy that uses blood stem cells collected from a donor. The Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin was one of the first BMT programs in the U.S. It is the largest transplant program in Wisconsin.
Members of the Benign Hematology Program are actively involved in researching the causes of blood diseases and new treatment strategies. They are leaders in several national investigations and government-sponsored initiatives. Patients benefit by receiving the most up-to-date care and direct access to many investigational treatments. For a complete list of clinical studies now available for blood diseases at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, search our clinical trials database. For information about blood disease clinical trials available nationwide, visit clinicaltrials.gov.
Patients in the Benign Hematology Program see all their physicians and nurses in the "Life" area of the Clinical Cancer Center. Please note: Receiving care in the Clinical Cancer Center does not mean that you have cancer. Benign hematology patients are seen in our cancer center because it has all the resources hematologists need to provide an accurate diagnosis and devise an effective treatment plan.

The pristine Antarctic seas hold a dear secret, one that uniquely combines antioxidants and essential omega-3 fats for your optimal health and well-being: Krill Oil, which has now bested previously recommended fish oils and other supplements with its rich vat of health benefits.*
I'm glad to tell you that the Pure Krill Oil offers a storehouse of benefits – supports heart health, your immune system, and memory function,* among many others.
More than being a highly renewable source, krill is harvested wild in the cold, unpolluted seas surrounding Antarctica and is thus free from mercury, heavy metals, and other toxins that hound your family's safety.
I'm picking out the Pure Krill Oil as your best bet among the countless fish oil and other krill oil supplements in the market today.*
Compared to fish oil, Krill Oil offers better absorption and is more resistant to rancidity.* It also doesn't have any fishy aftertaste or side effects even at high dosages. But perhaps topping the list of differences is its being free from mercury contamination, which afflicts most fish and seafood from the lakes, rivers, streams and oceans.
Only two capsules of this supplement can go with your first meal for daily support. Explore the possibilities with the Pure Krill Oil today.*
Our high-quality Krill Oil impacts overall health in more ways than one. This marine oil combines Omega-3 oils, free radical-fighting antioxidants, phospholipids and other ingredients to deliver the following benefits:
A Word from Dr. Mercola
The Pure Krill Oil has my vote, and I personally take it and recommend it to friends and patients. You can read more about it on my website, Mercola.com, which is the world's #1 Natural Health Website. I'm a licensed Illinois-based physician and surgeon since 1982 and the author of two New York Times bestsellers, The Great Bird Flu Hoax and The No-Grain Diet.

Kate Raudenbush is a New York City based artist who creates allegorical environments as a form of social dialogue. Mixing visual symbolism cross-culturally within human history and mythology, geometry and architecture, her art finds inspiration within the micro and macro viewpoints of our natural and manufactured worlds. She utilizes welded and laser-cut metal, acrylic, mirror, sound and light to shape her designs into climbable, enveloping environments and sacred spaces that are given more meaning with each visitor's participation. In this way, the artwork is not just an object to behold, but also an experience to be lived.
Her work references and weaves together such diverse sources as sacred geometry, Hindu creation myth, Native American art, Mayan architecture, d.n.a strands, water, time, consciousness, computer circuitry, Buddhist symbolism, environmental sustainability, meditation, and self-empowerment. Her work's motivating force is an endeavor to create art that both questions and informs, includes and elevates, fostering an awareness of our environment and social issues that resonate with the evolving conscience of our collective culture.
Her sculpture is in the permanent collection of the Nevada Museum of Art, (Guardian of Eden), the Art Valley Sculpture Park in South Korea and includes publicly and privately commissioned works for performances, events and public civic sculpture, such as The International Sculpture Festa in Seoul S.

This pretty much covers it.
I do love the parallel between the people protesting the people protesting Chick-fil-A and the debate on gay marriage itself. Here you have a group boycotting Chick-fil-A, an act that in no way effects someone else's ability to eat there. Zero. And yet, somehow, there is a segment of the population who take that as a personal attack against them. And they have to be sure the world knows it. They have to be sure they overshadow a non violent boycott in the name of civil rights just to satisfy their own desire to shove a guilt laden sandwich into a gaping soul-less face.

Ask Me 3
I had an interesting experience at a pharmacy-based clinic the other day: the practitioner asked me how I preferred to receive my health information. Did I want to read printed written instructions? Listen to them? Go on the Internet?
She was the first person to ever ask me that question, and it prompted this musing. In an era of short, problem-focused medical visits, we all might be more satisfied with the outcomes of our health-related discussions if we practiced "Ask Me 3". At every health interaction, ask the provider:
- What is my main problem?
- What do I need to do?
- Why is it important for me to do this?
The answers you get will allow you to raise concerns about allergies to medicine your provider may not be aware of, or a drug dosing schedule you don't understand.
Now, if I could only get my mother to ask her doctor these three questions…
Yours in health,

Homeless man lives with dead people for 15 years
Grave-squatting Serbian survives on foraged candles, garbage scraps and cigarette butts.
The next time you find yourself complaining about the high cost of living consider this: You could always live in a cemetery. For free. That's what a 43-year-old homeless man from Serbia has been doing for the past 15 years, reports the International Business Times.
More from MSN Living: 40 time-saving tips
Former construction worker, Bratislav Stojanovic, has been sleeping in a garbage-filled concrete space, spanning only two square yards in Nis, south Serbia. After getting robbed by other homeless people on several occasions, he moved to the cemetery, a place with minimal (live) human interference.
More from MSN Living: 7 easy ways to get better sleep
Stojanovic spends much of his time foraging for candles to keep his modest space warm and survives on a diet of food scraps he finds in the garbage.
From the outside, living a life six feet under looks like a lonely existence.
Bing: Strangest houses in the world
"I had a friend who also lived at the cemetery, but he left as his grave was damp," he told the International Business Times. "I had a girlfriend, also homeless, but she's gone. She died, but it is nicer to say that she's gone," he was quoted.
Living underground seems like a major lifestyle adjustment.
"I was afraid in the beginning, but I got used to it in time. Now I am more afraid of the living than of the dead," he told Reuters.

In September, I'll turn 38. I'm at the age now where, when people ask how old I am, it takes me a minute to remember.

Two emergencies in two days for plane
BY ALLISON HORTON AND TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporters May 31, 2012 9:41AM
An American Airlines Eagle plane slid off the runway at O'Hare International Airport Thursday, May 31, 2012. | Courtesy NBC5
Updated: July 6, 2012 9:43AM
Authorities are investigating how a plane was forced to make an emergency landing at O'Hare Airport twice in two days because of the same landing gear problem.
The plane first made an emergency landing at O'Hare on Wednesday but was cleared to fly after being checked by maintenance crews.
But the issue was apparently not fixed, and the plane again had to make an emergency landing after taking off from O'Hare Thursday morning — this time veering off the runway upon landing.
No one was injured in either incident, but officials are investigating just how the plane could have been cleared to fly only for the same landing gear problem arising again.
"We are looking at all parts of this investigation," FAA spokeswoman Tony Molinaro said. "We always look at all maintenance records."
The second emergency landing happened around 8 a.m. Thursday. American Eagle Flight 4096, bound for Tulsa, Okla., returned to O'Hare after takeoff when the pilot noticed a problem with the plane's landing gear, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said.
As it landed, the plane veered off the runway onto a paved surface, city Department of Aviation spokesman Greg Cunningham said.
The 28 passengers and three crew members got off the plane on the runway. Buses then took them back to the terminal, and passengers were put on another plane bound for Tulsa, American Airlines spokesman Ed Martelle said.
The same plane was taken out of service Wednesday when Flight 3927, bound for Hartford, Conn., was forced to return to O'Hare, Martelle said.
The exact mechanical issue is under investigation, but it appears the landing gear issue was the same in both emergency landings, American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller said.
After Wednesday's emergency landing, in which no one was injured, the plane was "taken out of service" and "thoroughly inspected by our maintenance team at O'Hare before being put back into service," Martelle said.
After Thursday's incident "it's now in our maintenance hangar at O'Hare for further inspection," Martelle said.
The pair of emergency landings came on the heels of another incident involving an American Eagle commuter plane at O'Hare. No one was injured Wednesday when another one of the carrier's planes was clipped by a 747 cargo plane on a taxiway.

Now, all is well.Member of the "Fox News Medical A-Team," Dr. Keith Ablow • In an unbelievably insensitive piece about Chaz Bono, the transgendered man who is about to become one of the latest contestants on "Dancing With the Stars." Ablow, who goes on and on about how he disagrees with Bono's choice, admits he will take heat for the article. "I already have for making similar statements in the past," he notes. "So be it. I would rather be the one shouting 'The Emperor has no clothes!' than one of the happy-go-lucky villagers applauding the tragic parade."

Fire closes Highway 18B
Jul 19, 2013
News-Register Staff
Update: Crews are being recalled from the Telegraph Road fire, which is apparently being brought under control, and the estimate of traffic delays on Highway 18B has been reduced to under 20 minutes.
Crews are closing Highway 18B between Willamina and Sheridan, because a wildland fire is burning on both sides of the road, and is spreading rapidly. The fire has gone to a second alarm. Motorists may want to delay travel, or seek an alternate route; Tripcheck. com reports traffic delays of 20 minutes to two hours.
In an unrelated development, crews are being called to fight a wildland fire on southeast Telegraph Road.

Jack Easley and Drape Reed and Dyson Gibson had stores in town where you could buy everything from bolts of cloth to mule feed to kegs of 10-penny nails to rolls of hay wire to staple groceries to nickel candy bars. This was the Goldonna that molded and shaped the four of us.
