Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Obama will get around to disappointing me really soon, but when you compare his first week with George Bush's last eight years, one starts to feel pretty happy.
Obama started out his week by calling up the EPA and telling them they could allow California to have stricter automobile efficiency standards than the discount cialis cialis rest of buying levitra in the us the country, if they so wished. Bush had previously made the EPA tell California it was illegal. Obama is letting the EPA make it's own decision, though it's pretty clear that they'll let California do whatever it wants.
Our new president also set a plan in motion to increase fleet-wide fuel economy to 35 MPG over the next ten years or so. This 40% increase would mean substantial decreases in greenhouse emissions, especially if coupled with second-gen biofuels. The auto industry, of course, is griping, but I think they knew it was going to happen. And, yes, I do believe that they can do it, especially since the government is planning on giving them $25 B to them make the shift.
The shift will begin in 2011, which is very soon, especially since auto companies might have been hoping for a different president to be elected. It takes a long time to re-design vehicles and http://www.smartersecurity.com/canada-generic-levitra it's clear that some vehicles might need to be completely eliminated before then to meet the get viagra in canada first round of upgrades.
The stimulus package, of course, is full of good news for the clean tech industry. With proposals totaling over $150 B for renewable energy incentives to be spent over the next ten years. This includes a $10 B "venture capital fund." I don't know how I feel about the government getting in on the VC game, but at least they don't have to be too keen on exit strategies.
Of course, this is only a small part (!) of the economic stimulus plan and I have to ask...how exactly are we planning on paying for it. I believe that the renewable energy economy will more than make up for the money spent in future tax revenues. But, overall, the stimulus plan combined with already out-of-control spending is going to add up to about $2 trillion of new debt just this year. That scares me...a lot.
So while I'm excited to see Obama thinking green...I wouldn't mind if he thought about the other kind of green as well...particularly, where the heck it's going to all come from.

There is the very distinct possibility of some nations (including the US) being unable to service sovereign debt. Watch the continuing shrinkage of the Chinese economy which will expose the inherent weaknesses in the Chinese banking sector (dodgy loans, corruption). When the very good site levitra online canada Chinese economy goes terminal, the poop will really hit the fan.
One of the biggest mistakes the US and other countries can make right now is to retreat into isolationist and protectionist economic policies. This will only serve to further shut down international commerce.

My problem isn't the cash being spent, because I think that it can more than made up for, especially when it comes to transferring over to a green economy, but if the viagra generic australia money is spent unwisely, and if appropriate reform and www.celebratinglife.org re-regulation are not accomplished.
Problem is that a lot of the environmental challenges we face and will face are not easily scored on a balance sheet, and are not reflected in the costs of goods. Consider: decline in coral, which support fish and lobster, world-wide decline in fish stocks (there are no longer *any* sustainable fisheries at present level of consumption): these mean disaster for an entire industry, and I might add, a disaster for our diet and palate. But these aren't the only problems: nanoparticles from plastics can mimic sex hormones. There has been a dramatic decline in the viability of the male sex in all kinds of vertebrates: decline in number of males born, decline in sperm counts, deformities. Serious stuff, that. Global warming, of course. Warming temperatures let tree eating insects survive the winter, and are devastating forests. The tree that provides the favored wood for baseball bats may go extinct! And the timber industry will suffer too, meaning the price of paper products will go up. Not to mention losing a lot of O2 breathing green. Oh, and global sea rise are going to force a lot of people off their islands, including US citizens, and that's going to be paid for by us too. And it is very likely that a global warming refugee crisis could emerge, and large migration always brings significant instability and unrest, all of it costly. Declining unrenewable resources will spawn resource wars. Wars we cannot afford in a nuclear world. We could go on: respiratory problems caused by particulate air pollution, pharmaceuticals in our water, radioactive coal ash... all of this stuff means health costs, clean up costs, declines in productivity.
That is what needs to be avoided.

Chew on this;
Iraq war 10 billion a month X 66 months = 660 billion
Afghan war 1.5 billion a month X 84 months = 126 billion
Grand total 786 billion
than add to that over 4000 lives lost... 4000 human beings !?!

WWII 405,000, Vietnam 58,000, Korea 36,500.
Remember the Great Depression? Remember how FDR got us out of it? He took us off the gold standard, spent money that didn't exist, and got people working again on bettering the country.
No. Because we didn't get out of the Great Depression until WWII. Notice how we were still in it for 10 years with no before the recovery? Although, if you want people working, I'm trying to figure out how welfare is going to do that. Why not just bring back the levitra 20 mg CCC instead?

It was so very brave and bold of Pres. Obama to force private companies into making wondercars with a stroke of his pen. I can't wait until he signs the law forcing citizens to buy them. That is, if we have any money left over from the trillions in taxes we'll be forced to pay shortly.
I shudder to think what kind of commute I'll have with the "green" deathtraps that'll be forced out of Detroit. Well, since he'll be pouring billions into welfare there's no point in me keeping my job to find out. I'll just live off the rest of you

This house problem was created by allowing credit standards to be changed by President Clinton in 1995 to allow more people to qualify for loans for a house. Bill passed in 1995. Sometimes it takes awhile for a change to make an impact.

1.This problem you have right now was undoubtedly caused by climate change which could be very well avoidable for future generations. Now, how much did G.Bush and rest of his party do to help those future generations? Hence in essence you are layin blame on the new president for what happened to you, but selfishly you do not feel any compassion for future generations that will have similar problems you have now.
2.Natural disasters are terrible, but in my town we lost just under 3000 people in matter of couple hours and still managed to keep a cool head. So should you. (I hope all is well in the end with you guys, sincerely)
3. It is only skin, but underneath is a human. Seriously, put your "let's think glasses" on and you will see that much better.

Why would you post ANYTHING positive, or negative about the new President?
1. NOTHING he has done so far is positive for a "greener" world. Yeah, reduce emissions from all cars...but let's buy a bunch more for the government! Who cares, make the government walk or get taxi's! Seems to me, if they are getting around with what they have now....they don't need more! Don't dress up a negative with a positive suit and expect us to think it is a great idea!
2. Repealed ban on funding for foreign abortions: I don't care if your pro/against abortion, what freakin' good does this do for the US economy? What good does it do AT ALL? We don't have $ to put people to work, but we can send US Dollars to some other country on a controversial subject that does NO ONE any good?
3. Talking about repealing "Don't ask, Don't tell" in the military: How much do you think it is going to cost the American tax payer to retool the military infrastructure to support openly homosexual soldiers? You can't force hetero people to sleep/shower with those that aren't! New housing, plumbing, even new bases! Guess they could use some of those that they have closed....which I guess would create jobs, maybe that is a good thing? Except that we are going to have to bring back the draft to even get anyone to join that kind of military! "Don't ask, Don't tell" does exactly the www.marthawashingtoninn.com right thing...let's you be you...just keep it to yourself! That is fair whether you like it or not!
4. Have you seen the bill that he is trying to push through as "Stimulus"? Seriously, go to some non-partisan gov. website and read what is in it! NOTHING! I don't care what Rush says, or Hannity, or Pelosi, or Obama! IT ISN'T STIMULUS!
Finally, and most of all: Loose your blinders people, be an American, be critical of ALL in government, whether they wear Republican, or Democrate, or Independant! Think with the mind of an AMERICAN and INSIST on REAL benefits, and not pomp and ordering levitra circumstance!
Bush was not better, Clinton was a disaster, Obama cannot be judged at all yet...but he sure looks like a "Party" man to me so far! I am just saying that we should make these people listen, do, say, and build the America that Americans deserve...not what their disconnected political minds think!
God Bless us All!
Oh, and keep politics, and political opinions off of a blog about saving the planet! Cause it won't be Democrats, or Republicans that get that done! IT WILL BE YOU AND ME (meaning EVERYONE on this rock we call EARTH!)!

The Stimulus package trying to pass the Senate now is not what Obama wanted. That's the bill the Democrats as a whole wanted to get through. There is lots of crap in there. Obama knows this bill is not going to get through the recommended site rx generic levitra Senate but he has to pay back his election promises by supporting this...cornucopia.
The next round or two of reworking the Stimulus package will get through the Senate. Trim the wasteful spending and apply it to tax cuts, done!

Anyway, I am NO economist and do wonder, as the last paragraph of the article asked, where is all this money coming from? If there is so much money out there somewhere, why not give it to the American people, $1 million each. WE are the ones who wil stimulate the economy! Is the President relying on the auto industry to create more jobs? Don't the people in the auto industry have enough brains to design fuel efficient cars on their own? They need a huge financial boast from the government? What the hell have the auto designers/engineers been doing all these years in their jobs? Whining about Toyota selling so many cars? I do not feel sorry for the American auto industry at all. What have they been waiting for?
The amount of the stimulus plan is staggering and quite frightning frankly. Who really will pay for this? The American taxpayer? How, is we are losing so many jobs each month?
Again, I am no economist but the reality of the financial and environmental crisis and two wars waging endlessly, is really a downer. The only hope I see is if all countries come together to create/develop/encourage/support a very viable and just plan of getting ourselves out of this enormous hole we have dug.
And how about people in the "Thrid World?" Like they aren't suffering enough and discount generic levitra online we, in the U.S. seem to have forgotten them already (Darfur/Congo, Tibet)....
I don't know anything other than the world economy is crazy. I have reduced my own debt as much as possible ($10/month water bill, eliminated $7/month cell phone insurance, eat a grain based diet for pennies a meal, don't buy junk food anymore, hardly go to movies anymore - boo hoo, etc.).
Well, here's to Obama and all the "leaders" of world, people in the "Third World," and all of you: we must stay positive, reduce, reduce, reduce, and participate in any way daily to keep our spirits up....
Cheers all - still positive in the U.S.

Musson, if base on what you think, then your beloved Pres.Bush, hates the viagra rx race of Iraqi, or any other races in the Middle East that is related to Iraqi, he started the war there, and guess what? it is a failure, and it isn't a small contributor to this Economic depression that base on what you think, a white-hater like Obama, trying to solve.
if he was so kind like you said, he should have stopped soldiers from torturing and shooting Iraqi, it's not like all of them want to, some do, some don't. He could've stopped it, but guess what, he ignored the da*n thing, like it never happened.

High quality teaching is crucial in preparing students for college, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. Enhanced teacher development is a critical tool and has proven itself effective on a small scale; we seek to scale up this venture, offering it to teachers across the RGV. Doing so is especially important because currently, in the Region One Education Service Center, which encompasses 37 school districts that include the school districts of the RGV, approximately 30% of STEM teachers are not teaching within their certified discipline. To ensure that our precollege students receive the highest level of educational instruction, we propose to implement an Academy of Master Teachers, with a prestigious master designation for teachers in our public schools who have earned or will earn, in the process of being certified, a Master's Degree in their field and become credentialed to serve as trainers and mentors in their districts.
The Academy will focus primarily on fields of study that have been a strength in the RGV, particularly the STEM fields, bilingual education, and other select, focused areas. The Academy will create the next generation of educational leaders in the RGV. Master Teachers will also be trained and certified to teach rigorous Dual Credit courses in the high schools, in conjunction with our two-year college partners. The Academy will not only develop the talent of our teachers in the RGV, but it will also ensure that our precollege students are receiving top-notch, quality educational experiences, in preparation for their transition into higher education. To teach with rigor, a teacher's content knowledge must be accurate and deep and his/her teaching skills must effectively support students as they learn content for understanding. The Academy proposes to better prepare teachers to be successful in the classroom. These teachers will learn how to use the latest technology and how to best interact with today's technology savvy students. Better prepared teachers who are also oriented towards preparing their students to pursue college will produce more students who have the necessary preparation and interest to do so.
This initiative will help enhance the growth of dual enrollment opportunities that exist in the region, ensuring that teachers who teach college credit courses at the high school level are implementing an academically rigorous curriculum. The initiative will ensure that innovation is at the heart of education in the RGV.

How can I invoke RealPlayer to stream video in the emulator?
The SDK and its emulator do not include RealPlayer in the S60 SDK for Symbian OS (v1.0). Therefore, you cannot invoke the RealPlayer to stream video.
If you know the UID of the RealPlayer, you can invoke it on the actual device with
You can also use the CDocumentHandler class to launch a specific media file. .3gp files are automatically launched with RealOnePlayer. Unfortunately, the emulator of S60 SDK v1.0 does not support this.

Exact match domain Ranking changes.
Google filed a patient in 2003 describing how they might handle the issue of exact match domains getting better rankings in the search engine results compared to other sites. That patient was just approved.
Here is a great article about it by Bill Slawski of SEO By the Sea http://www.seobythesea.com/ 2011/10/googles-exact-match- domain-name-patent-detecting- commercial-queries/
There appears to be some strong evidence (at least at the local organic level) that Google has already started making changes in the SER based on discounting the value of a domain with an exact match domain name. We have several sites that have exact match keywords in the domain that we built more than 6 years ago. In the last few days, one fell from the first position for its exact match keyword, to the 11th position. This is a local site. None of our customer domains are using this strategy, just sites we built throughout the years for one reason or another.
We also have seen our non domain exact match sites move up, and in some cases significantly. This blog is a great example, as two days ago it was ranked number 11 under SEO in Denver, and today it is third. It should be noted we don't do any specific SEO program to our site; we are just active on the Internet in natural places. No one spends 8 hours a week or month or year doing SEO work for the site.
I would love to hear if you are seeing a change in your site based on exact match domain names. The fact that Google has made two major changes in the last two weeks that have also had a large effect on many local rankings will make this a little more difficult to figure out the old causation versus correlation of a change.
It also appears that this change has had no effect on the Google Maps results. It wouldn't surprise me if we see the Maps rankings change some based on this as well, but the Google Maps listings have a tendency to follow organic changes after a period of time.

VAN BUREN COUNTY, MI (WTVB) - An off duty traffic crash has taken the life of a Michigan State Police motor carrier officer. Officials say Dennis Myers was removed from life support early today at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. Myers was critically injured in a rollover accident that happened a week ago yesterday just west of Decatur on Van Buren County Road 352. According to police, Myers was wearing his seat belt and was alone in the Honda Civic that landed on its roof. Investigators said there was no evidence of alcohol being a factor in the crash.
Myers was assigned to the Paw Paw post and was an 11-year veteran of the MSP. In 2010, he was named Motor Carrier Officer of the Year. Myers is survived by his wife and two sons, ages 9 and 11. Michigan State Police said his organs were donated through the Gift of Life.

A medical-marijuana bill has been advanced by a committee in the Alabama House of Representatives, but probably too late for a vote to take place in the full legislature, the Montgomery Advertiser reported April 8.
The Michael Phillips Compassionate Care Act — named for a man with a brain tumor who used marijuana for pain relief prior to his death in 2007 — was sponsored by Rep. Patricia Todd. It passed the committee with just five days left in the current legislative session.
The measure would allow individuals with illnesses like cancer, AIDS, MS, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain to legally use the drug for medical reasons.

Why Pop Art Is Jewish
A Roy Lichtenstein show at the Art Institute of Chicago reveals the movement's affront to WASPy decorum
Roy Lichtenstein, whose painting "Sleeping Girl" sold last week at Sotheby's for $44.8 million, a record for his work, is one of those Jewish artists whose art is rarely if ever connected to their Jewishness. This is not only because his subject matter is not Jewish—a literary equivalent from the same generation is Norman Mailer, with whom Lichtenstein shared the bracket of his life 1923-2007—but also because of the objective coolness of his compositions. In Paris, when Chagall and Soutine were both living and working there in the early years of the 20th century it was, strangely, and perhaps anti-Semitically, Soutine who was considered by critics to be the exemplary Jewish painter because, while he never took on Jewish subject matter, his expressionism was read as a type of over-emoting common to Jews. Reactions to Rothko sometimes work along these lines. Lichtenstein's Ben-Day dots, comic-strip figures, and industrialized canvases resist even a hint of residual emotional expression and with one small exception, a parodic Chagallesque fiddler inserted into a large mural that he donated to the Tel Aviv Museum in 1989, he certainly wasn't interested in Jewish themes. One faux Chagall doesn't make a summer, and Lichtenstein's oeuvre entirely escapes, it would seem, any kind of categorization as that of a Jewish painter.
Plus, Pop Art isn't Jewish, or hasn't been seen as such. Its concerns are entirely elsewhere and include the economics of printing, the industrialization of images, cultural vulgarization, and the way that, as Somerset Maugham once asserted, "Man in extremity sounds like a cheap novel." But it was Jewish for me in 1968 when I first saw Lichtenstein's work in what was generally regarded as a sensational, subversive show at London's Tate Gallery. I was 17 and I lined up for a long time on a cold January day for the pleasure of standing in front of "WHAAM !"—one of the paintings currently on exhibit in the wonderfully comprehensive Lichtenstein retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago opening today—and all the other oversized, glorious (to a 17-year-old) comic-strip adaptations.
Why Jewish? Because I assimilated Lichtenstein's paintings as an affront to convention and to what I perceived as the stultifying and exclusive tastefulness and establishment decorum of the WASP world. An American Jew rocking the Tate Gallery looked like good news to me. Saul Bellow, reflecting on the cramped and claustrophobic atmosphere of his first two novels Dangling Man (1944) and The Victim (1948), explained that they emerged from "the incredible effrontery of announcing [him]self to the world ( … the WASP world) as a writer and as an artist" a feeling that only fell away when he began to write his breakthrough third novel, The Adventures of Augie March. Perhaps I was being as silly as the French critics who responded to Soutine's expressionism as Jewish, mistaking pictorial exuberance for an ethnic endorsement. Only a year after the Lichtenstein show, Portnoy's Complaint came along, and nothing was hidden after that.
The current retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago, the largest since Lichtenstein's death, unfolds in room after room. The progression is chronological with occasional breaks in the continuity for sculpture and significant groupings, like Lichtenstein's ersatz reworking of Mondrian, Matisse, Monet, and others that also features his sublimely antic nascent pop version of Emanuel Leutze's "Washington Crossing the Delaware." The cumulative effect is in the end less powerful than the rooms that house "WHAAM!" and the other breakthrough paintings from 1962 to 1965 that include the clairvoyant "WHY, BRAD DARLING, THIS PAINTING IS A MASTERPIECE! MY, SOON YOU'LL HAVE ALL OF NEW YORK CLAMORING FOR YOUR WORK!" These war and romance paintings still carry a terrific wallop, the good old shock of the new. Yet elsewhere, Lichtenstein's endless quotation of others and of himself—whether it's landscapes in the Chinese style or paintings of his own studio featuring his early works on the walls—sometimes makes it seem as if we are reading an extraordinarily long footnote. The last room is devoted to a series of nudes that Lichtenstein produced in his seventies: The AARP years frequently return male artists to the naked figure. Here we have comic-strip girls with a beach ball, others who are by turns sultry, anxious, pensive: all shaded in Ben-Day dots. Lichtenstein's late nudes are not priapic like Picasso's but, true to form, cerebral, distanced by the inevitable quotation marks and his foregrounded concerns with composition.
During the Lichtenstein show's brief stay at the Tate in 1968—little more than a month—the People's Army of Vietnam launched its Tet offensive, the Americans responded, and "WHAAM!", which Lichtenstein had adapted from an image in the 1962 D.C. comic All American Men of War, suddenly looked like the most prescient and economical depiction of the destructive power and cultural wackiness of the United States in Vietnam. After all, this was a war in which some men went into battle wearing Batman outfits. If the big idea behind the great American comic strip and its animated cousin was to make death unreal (Daffy Duck can withstand any number of shotgun blasts) and in that way to endorse any kind of trespass because it has no consequences (bomb Hanoi!), then Vietnam was the place to test that idea in action. The things they carried were to ward off darkness, the invisible enemy, and death, but if you could convince yourself that you had superpowers and the constitution of a two-dimensional illustration whose bullet-holes in the abdomen miraculously sealed up in the next frame, so much the better. Repetitive, sterilizing TV news, long-distance bombing, everything conspired to make sure that nothing of any relevance got through. By painting war bigger, bolder, brighter, and more deranged in its distance than even its architects wanted it to be, Lichtenstein appeared to expose and explode the lie.

the more information overload out there, the more it becomes important to be able to tell a memorable story!

Funny was just thinking about how everything starts with a story now. Didn't think about these five "mistakes" though. Great post.

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- It's been four months since a female runner was attacked and raped in downtown Chattanooga. Now a local business, known for its running shoes, is hoping to educate the women wearing them. About 60 people packed Fast Break Athletics on the NorthShore Thursday night to hear from a Chattanooga Police officer with years of self-defense training experience.
If you're not a woman, or a runner, and think this story doesn't apply to you, think again.
These are tips anyone can use.
Leah Johnson and Jillian Hudson are training for their second marathon. "We always make sure everybody makes it back, no matter what time we go, or how many people there are," says Hudson. The pair started taking safety more seriously last October, when a woman was attacked and raped while running in the downtown area. "Very scary to know that could be you out there attacked," says Johnson. Chattanooga Police Officer Ron Zirk says the first line of defense is being aware. That means no earphones.
"We've become so accustomed to living inside our little bubble," Officer Zirk says. "On the outside of our bubble it's kind of a nasty world out there. Be prepared for it." When tying your shoe or stretching, look up, look around and look alert. "My head is always up looking around," Zirk says. "It's not paranoid, it's being aware." Pay attention to shadows, reflections and lingering vehicles. Change your route and never run late at night, alone or in poorly lit areas. "All common sense but a lot of people don't have any," says Lynda Webber. While many veteran runners are already taking these steps, Zirk says there are tools all women should carry. Mace packs a punch, but not on everyone. Attackers on drugs, or those who have a higher tolerance to spicy foods, may not be impacted by the high concentrate of chili pepper. Zirk suggests carrying an eye gouger and a small handgun at the ankle. No matter your weapon of choice, training is key. They are all tips anyone can use not just runners. Zirk says the best way for any woman to protect herself is to listen to her instincts. "The best way not to get in a situation is just not get in that situation," Zirk says. "See it coming way ahead of time and say, okay, I don't want to be a part of this, I need to go."
If you don't want to carry a gun or mace, there is always your keys.
I have always been told to carry them in between my fingers when I'm walking to my car alone.
Zirk says that could hurt you more than your attacker.
He suggests carrying them similar to how you would crank your car. It allows you to unlock your car, but also injure an attacker.

Hi everybody :)
This is my second game that got sponsorship, it is supposed to be simple but addictive platformer, and I hope you will like it. Some levels are quite hard so prepare yourself.
Good luck, and have fun!
Best regards,
The "uneven jumping" bug that you reported should be fixed now. Thanks a lot for your help :) It was actually a very stupid mistake, I don't know how I missed it, sorry everyone.
Thanks for all the good reviews, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Also thanks for all the bad ones, I'll keep your suggestions in mind while making my next game.
For people who liked the music, you can download mp3s here:
Once again big thanks to everyone who played the game and left a comment!

Wonderfull job!

Hard yet fun game.
Like a big task you have put together lots of skill, lots of detail and lots of energy through-out this flash, And you have put lots of smiles on the viewers especially this reviewer, So props to you on a fun game here. So cute little game here, and i see that you have won anward from this already its pretty good and rewarding on the game, so congrats on the awards. I found this game to be fun and hard, the jumping was the hardest though, maybe you can have some better smoothing or slow motion type of stuff that might aid you in those things. but as you do practice on it you get the hang of it so maybe upgrades dont need it but might be a plus. Now while this is funny in what i say but these kind of games remind me of popping pop corn, because these types keep popping up in the portal, Now thats not a bad thing, But i like that you have changed this from just being normal to something different and unique,
So i found this one to be a well oiled and well engineered project, even with that said there are still some other clean up tips that can be suggested, and they can really help to make this one hell of an engineered project. Some upgrades might make this more easy and somewhat fun. so some slowmotion ideas some other type of rockets.

Date: Monday, March 03, 2014 - 8:30 pm
Duration: 2 Hours
Winter is here. As the snow falls and icicles form we need to keep a fire in our hearts. We pack into cozy bars to get warm and dance by the firelight to remember we're alive. In "The Fire" Savoir Adore's forest fantasy pop blends with French Horn Rebellion's hot dancefloor beats. The two bands, related by marriage for the last few years, have finally collaborated to keep you warm all season long. Make like David of FHR and Deidre of Savoir Adore and cuddle up under the disco ball, dancing the night away.
Earlier, the brother duo, who turn their live show into a full band ensemble, revealed their video for "Caaalifornia" via VEVO HERE. Robert and David run around San Francisco as 12-inch little guys as they search for the most beautiful Caaalifornian they had ever seen, Bebe Panthere.
French Horn Rebellion are Robert and David Perlick-Molinari, two brothers born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY. In 2007, younger brother Robert was playing French horn in the Chicago Civic Orchestra, and decided to make hot beats instead. After telling the conductor that Mahler isn't fun anymore he asked his bassoon-toting brother, David to join with him. And so it was, a French Horn Rebellion began.
Since then, they boys have travelled 5 continents with French horn slung over their back, doing shows with MGMT, Yelle, Cut Copy, and others along the way. Also, they've pioneered a new genre called 'Next Jack Swing,' like New Jack, but with heavy beats and funkier bass lines. Their latest EPs, Poster Girl (with Database), Girls (ft JD Samson and Fat Tony) and Love is Dangerous (ft J Pat from The Knocks), Dancing Out (ft Jody Watley), Friday Nights (with Viceroy) and Caaalifornia (ft Bebe Panthere and Ghost Beach) are out now.

The Wolverines scrapped to the end.
Tirico and Vitale blow. I turned the volume off.
mcgary for keeping it close in the first half and
thj for keeping it close in the second half and
burke for closing it out with his D
A tough spot for a freshman, but that's the second big game in a row GR3 has faded a bit under the pressure. I wouldn't mind a lack of offense if he was playing well defensively, but it seems like people were getting by him with relative ease and when he was being posted up he allowed his man to spin to the base line far too many times. He also had a play where he missed an easy short jumper, made a great play to get the ball back, and then jumped back into the mass of humanity under the net only to have the ball barely get above his shoulders (not surprisingly) instead of kicking it out to anyone standing on the arc for either an open 3 or to set up a new play. Not why his plays stick out in my mind so much, but hopefully he uses these past two games to get better. He has all the tools needed to be great.
A phenominal job from Mitch, Tim, Burke, and the rest of the boys. What a win.
Bielien said the team needs to play tougher during one of the time outs and I think he's spot on (yes, I know the coach does not need my validation). I think we're too soft on D and not aggressive enough on O, which is why we get so few calls.
Also, damn OSU has some athletes on the front court; I'd like some of that! Will be so good to have Morgan back and I'd be interested in seeing Morgan and Horford/McGary out at same time against big teams.
Fuck Ohio, Fuck Craft, Fuck Dick Vitale.
On to Wisconsin. Go Blue!
Was hoping to pull ahead while we up by 10 but such a needed win
I feel like we looked bad, but looking at the box score, both teams just looked really good I think.
Edit: Way too many second-chance points for OSU, and it feels like we got outrebounded like crazy.
Yeah, Ohio is pretty good and craft plays insane D when he gets us. Like even more insane than his normal "really good D." The kids going to be really good in Europe.
Did I miss anything?
ohio exploited the inside game, all game; IU did the same. That may prove problematic in the NCAAs. THJ was the diference tonight, but we need a stronger inside game. Horford, Morgan and MMG have foul and rebound opportunities. We need to exploit those conjunctivively with FT shot conversion and pressure D leading to transision baskets.

Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program
The Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship was established at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center at Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital in 1981 and is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Education (ACGME), most recently in April 2009.
We offer a three-year Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship program that meets the eligibility requirements for the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine sub-board of the American Board of Pediatrics and includes rotations at Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital and St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
Our Clinical Facilities
Le Bonheur Children's Hospital is a 255-bed tertiary care, multi-specialty childrens hospital located within the UTHSC complex and affiliated with the Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare System. Each year, the 45 medical/surgical subspecialties at Le Bonheur treat nearly 130,000 children the majority of them coming from 95 counties in six-state referral area, although children come to Le Bonheur from all 50 states and many countries.
Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital was established in 1952 as the first childrens hospital in the mid-south region and is the pediatric arm of Methodist Le Bonheur Health Care. We are a comprehensive childrens hospital that serves children from 95 counties across 6 states, though many patients come from all over the United States and some are international patients who come to receive treatment from our sub-specialists.
In 2010, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital expanded from a 225-bed facility as we moved into a new 12-story, 255 bed state-of-the-art childrens hospital.
Within this new complex, we have a 20 bed PICU, 10 bed CVICU, and a 21 bed Intermediate Care Unit. This new facility allows us to continue to improve care for the children in the region, as well as to continue to expand our outreach program.
The Le Bonheur PICU, with approximately 1,600-1,800 admissions annually, provides all critical care services for active programs in pediatrics, general surgery, neurosurgery, otolaryngology and craniofacial reconstruction, orthopedics, transplantation, and trauma. Our patient population is about 60% medical patients and 40% surgical, with all patients being managed by the critical care team. The critical care team consists of board certified pediatric intensivists, fellows, residents, acute care nurse practitioners, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pediatric pharmacists, pediatric nutritionists, and medical social workers, and when indicated palliative care team members.
The PICU at Le Bonheur has a full time, 24/7 pharmacy in the PICU with pediatric pharmacists actively collaborating on appropriate pharmacologic management for our patients. In addition, the PICU serves as a center of excellence for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), providing advanced life support to patients from the NICU, CVICU, and Pediatric Surgical service.
In the CVICU, our fellows are exposed to the full spectrum of pediatric congenital heart disease, including more than 400 perioperative patients per year. Fellows will also rotate through St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, which is a world-renowned pediatric oncologic research hospital. At this facility, there is an 8-bed PICU which provides care to about 275 critically ill children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases, the largest population of immune-compromised critically ill children anywhere in the United States.
Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital sponsors Pedi-Flite, our specialized transport team that provides ground, rotary wing, and fixed-wing transport for patients referred to the hospital. Pedi-Flite is staffed 24/7/365 by a dedicated team of critical care nurses, respiratory therapists and emergency medical technicians. In 2009, there were over 2000 patients transported by the team which covers a 150-mile radius by ground and rotary wing, and further afield by fixed wing.

Singer/Songwriter David Berkeley is no stranger to the music industry. At the age of 4, Berkeley was singing door-to-door to his nanny's Avon customers. He has since gone from singing for cookies and applause from middle-aged women to self-releasing critically acclaimed albums to the masses. With his recent Strange Light, Berkeley drew comparisons to legends such as Cat Stevens, Jackson Brown and James Taylor. His upcoming release, Some Kind of Cure, is already being called the one that could give Berkeley "the big break." To fund this project, Berkeley is asking fans for donations and getting more than he expected—a testament to the emotional depths of his music.
Jay Sweet got the chance to catch up with Berkeley and talk about Some Kind of Cure, his fan's generosity and the industry over the years.

Advantages and Disadvantages
- Carry all sorts of gear, greatly reducing the amount of gear you have to carry. Goats can easily carry 20% – 30% of their body weight in saddles and gear (a 200 lbs. goat can readily carry 50 lbs.)
- Form close bonds with humans and easily follow you anywhere, on or off-lead
- Relatively easy to train and easily handled by people of all ages and abilities
- Less expensive to own and operate than other pack animals
- Well-suited to No Trace Camping practices
- Manage rougher terrain better than other pack animals
- Browse on the trail reducing or eliminating the need for extra feed
- Do not chase wildlife and don't intimidate game as much as other pack animals
- They are lovable and friendly and make great heaters on a cold night
- As with any animal, a certain amount of daily care and attention is required to keep goats (get disciplined)
- Initial start-up expenses may be quite high (but not as high as with other pack animals)
- Zoning regulations may limit your ability to keep goats in your backyard (move)
- Goats are happiest when they have company. You should consider keeping more than one or keep them with other animals

INTERVIEW: Lavie Tidhar Talks about APEX BOOK OF WORLD SF 3
Charles Tan: Hi Lavie! This will be the third Apex Book of World SF anthology. How is it different from the previous volumes? Is there a specific region or regions you wanted to focus on in this volume?
Lavie Tidhar: It's a good question – to me, in a way, the three volumes present one continuous project, a single work – a snapshot of international speculative fiction in the last decade or so. That is, my goal was and remains to read widely, to select stories that I liked and that I wanted to share, without any story standing for some half-mythical "representation" of an entire culture or language. They're individual stories by individual writers from all around the world, and some engage directly with specific cultural questions and some don't feel the need to do that. If they do constitute an argument at all, it is exactly that, that you can't narrow down fiction – genre or otherwise – you can't reduce it to generalities.
Saying all that, it's been a lot easier since I started editing the series in 2008 or so. One obvious difference in Volume 3 is that the stories are predominantly by women writers – who I think are very much leading the field in short fiction now. The other is that I had more access to more sources, and I'd single out the anthology Afro SF as filling a particularly important niche in that regard. In fact there's a great range of sources included here.
Other than that, Volume 2 had a lot of shorter stories – here I wanted the freedom to reprint longer works, such as Benjanun Sriduangkaew's "Courtship in the Country of Machine-Gods", which opens the book, and is a remarkable debut.

"My menu/courses did not exactly match the template, the WPDivas designer did a great job of modifying the layout to fit my meal"
"This card was the perfect card for our wedding! We were able to fit a lot of information on two cards which saved us a lot of money! It is customizable and the person who reviewed the card did EVERYTHING we wanted. It is perfect!"
"Annalisa Ross wedding&event planning helped me with all the stationary and we had no doubt when we came across this. I had invitation, menus, order of service, table numbers and thank you notes with this pattern. Lovely!"
"All I can say perfection... I ordered my menu cards 1 week before my wedding and the turn around was amazing. My menu card was beautiful i couldn't ask for anything else.. thank you Cathy E."
"These menu cards are the perfect design for our wedding. The designer was great in creating exactly what I wanted, right down to the date format. I wouldn't have minded them slightly bigger, but I can't really fault anything!"

This was the type of thing that curdled liberal's blood when they thought it was happening under George W. Bush. I believe any administration should aggressively prosecute this type of leak but this certainly appears to be an overreach. This has been a rough week for liberals. Two of the three active Obama scandals are the type of thing they shrieked about when Bush was President. IRS politicized, government super snooping. Let's hear them howl now.
Live on Sunday Night, it's Bill Cunningham 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM

I recently visited one of the holy shrines of the printed word, the ornate, wood-paneled reading room of the New York Public Library. In its hushed silence, I was paying my respects to something that's been very important in my life.
I grew up on a small cul-de-sac in south Sacramento. The bookmobile that showed up in front of Sutterville Elementary School was one of the big events of the week, an opening to a wider world. So were the books that I checked out of the Belle Cooledge Library, books that told of submarines 20,000 leagues under the sea and spaceships going to Mars.
Just as the library was my link to a larger world in my early years, so it became an important link to my new community when I moved to Dunsmuir 17 years ago. I soon learned that volunteers are the lifeblood of a small-town community. They staff our fire department and help keep our small library going. I joined the volunteers who kept the library open in the evenings, and in that way met other folks who shared my passion for books and ideas.
In a town with just under 2,000 residents, a library does more than circulate printed material. The library, like our one grocery store and hardware store, is a place where folks of all stripes, young and old, rich and poor, mix and mingle. It's where down-and-outers come to find refuge in a clean, well-lighted place; where kids from low-income families of which there are quite a few here can get access to the Internet; and where the rest of us can read the Sunday New York Times, check out a video and share the latest gossip.
The library offers programs with local authors and a monthly book club. In a quiet, small town like this, on a cold winter evening, a spirited discussion of "On the Road" is about as good as it gets.
Two years ago, due to a shrinking budget, the county cut off funding for its branch libraries. Since then we've been keeping ours open through donations to the local Friends of the Library and some support from the city. Other branches up here in Siskiyou County have had to reduce their hours or use more volunteer help to maintain their hours, but we've been spared that so far. We're fortunate that the Dunsmuir library gets strong support from the community, even from those who never set foot in it.
But surviving on year-to-year donations is not a good way to sustain a library, so last June we put a measure on the ballot for a local parcel tax that would have kept the library's doors open for at least another 10 years. We went door to door and made countless phone calls, but the measure failed on a 60 percent vote, "failed" because 66 percent approval from voters is required for local tax measures under provisions of Proposition 13.
State Sen. Lois Wolk recently introduced a bill, SCA 7, that would place a measure on the state ballot asking voters if they're willing to lower that threshold to 55 percent for voter approval of special taxes or bonds to fund libraries. If that law had been in effect last June, our library would now have dependable revenues and a secure future for another 10 years. As it is now, we'll have to keep scrambling for dollars until, we hope, Wolk's bill receives the required two-thirds vote of both the state Senate and Assembly, and gets voter approval as a constitutional amendment on a statewide ballot in 2014.
It's the best hope for the long-term future of our library, and for many other libraries throughout the state. Research by the California State Library over the past 20 years indicates that many libraries in California have suffered the same fate as ours, falling just short of the needed two-thirds majority to secure local funding.
Other bills wending their way through the Legislature would also lower the bar to 55 percent for local taxes for police and fire departments, transportation and school districts. It's possible that, together with the Wolk bill, they could all be bundled into one single measure before being put on a statewide ballot.
The modern library movement began back in 1849, when New Hampshire became the first state to pass a law authorizing its towns to raise money to fund public libraries. I'm guessing folks didn't like paying taxes in those days any more than we do now, but the state's leaders assumed its citizens would be willing to make some financial sacrifice for the good of their communities and the fledgling experiment in self-government.
So here we are in 2013 fighting for one of the progressive reforms of the mid-19th century. More than a century and a half later, do we still have anything like their selfless and civic-minded spirit? The fate of Wolk's bill will help us answer that question.
