Jill Shargaa: Please, please, people. Let's put the 'awe' back in 'awesome'Which of the following is awesome: your lunch or the Great Pyramid of Giza? Comedian Jill Shargaa sounds a hilarious call for us to save the word "awesome" for things that truly inspire awe.
Shai Reshef: An ultra-low-cost college degreeAt the online University of the People, anyone with a high school diploma can take classes toward a degree in business administration or computer science — without standard tuition fees (though exams cost money). Founder Shai Reshef hopes that higher education is changing "from being a privilege for the few to a basic right, affordable and accessible for all."
Anne Curzan: What makes a word "real"?One could argue that slang words like 'hangry,' 'defriend' and 'adorkable' fill crucial meaning gaps in the English language, even if they don't appear in the dictionary. After all, who actually decides which words make it into those pages? Language historian Anne Curzan gives a charming look at the humans behind dictionaries, and the choices they make.
Deborah Gordon: What ants teach us about the brain, cancer and the InternetEcologist Deborah Gordon studies ants wherever she can find them -- in the desert, in the tropics, in her kitchen ... In this fascinating talk, she explains her obsession with insects most of us would happily swat away without a second thought. She argues that ant life provides a useful model for learning about many other topics, including disease, technology and the human brain.
Randall Munroe: Comics that ask "what if?"Web cartoonist Randall Munroe answers simple what-if questions ("what if you hit a baseball moving at the speed of light?") using math, physics, logic and deadpan humor. In this charming talk, a reader's question about Google's data warehouse leads Munroe down a circuitous path to a hilariously over-detailed answer — in which, shhh, you might actually learn something.
Hamish Jolly: A shark-deterrent wetsuit (and it's not what you think)Hamish Jolly, an ocean swimmer in Australia, wanted a wetsuit that would deter a curious shark from mistaking him for a potential source of nourishment. (Which, statistically, is rare, but certainly a fate worth avoiding.) Working with a team of scientists, he and his friends came up with a fresh approach — not a shark cage, not a suit of chain-mail, but a sleek suit that taps our growing understanding of shark vision.
Christopher Emdin: Teach teachers how to create magicWhat do rap shows, barbershop banter and Sunday services have in common? As Christopher Emdin says, they all hold the secret magic to enthrall and teach at the same time — and it's a skill we often don't teach to educators.

Stuart Firestein: The pursuit of ignoranceWhat does real scientific work look like? As neuroscientist Stuart Firestein jokes: It looks a lot less like the scientific method and a lot more like "farting around … in the dark." In this witty talk, Firestein gets to the heart of science as it is really practiced and suggests that we should value what we don't know -- or "high-quality ignorance" -- just as much as what we know.

Geoffrey Canada: Our failing schools. Enough is enough!Why, why, why does our education system look so similar to the way it did 50 years ago? Millions of students were failing then, as they are now -- and it's because we're clinging to a business model that clearly doesn't work. Education advocate Geoffrey Canada dares the system to look at the data, think about the customers and make systematic shifts in order to help greater numbers of kids excel.
Angela Lee Duckworth: The key to success? GritLeaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school.

Bill Gates: Teachers need real feedbackUntil recently, many teachers only got one word of feedback a year: "satisfactory." And with no feedback, no coaching, there's just no way to improve. Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback -- and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom.

A little paint would do...Great puzzle thanks Lyndee
The salt air is not good to houses. This one has seen a few years.
the house is made ??of wood!
Looks like a "for sale" sign might have been posted on those two white sticks in front. So maybe this is a "before" pic and the new owners will do the rehab?
Must not be a paint store in Key West. Looks like the salt water does a number on these houses.
Looks sad & neglected lyndee - such a shame.
All that salt in the air must be an issue for paint. Mr. Williams, where are you?
Looks like it could use a little work.
They both seem to have the same paint problem ???
That could be so cute. It's a shame they don't keep them up.

Hot Guys x Baby AnimalsNew company, Hot Guys and Baby Animals, features everything women love to look at while benefiting nonprofit animal rescues.
LOS ANGELES, CA (December 14, 2009) – Hot Guys and Baby Animals is a new company created by women for women. Their first product, a steamy and cuddly 2010 calendar, is sure to be one of this year's most memorable stocking stuffers'
"I got sick of seeing pictures and calendars of bikini-clad girls sprawled out on sports cars," explains co-founder, Audrey Khuner. "I wanted to make something that would appeal to women like me. So I decided to combine my two favorite things: sexy men and baby animals."
By purchasing this photographic wall calendar, shoppers are contributing to several nonprofit animal rescues, including Bunny World Foundation and Karma Rescue. Every baby animal in the calendar is a rescue and many of them still need homes. The calendar was created to bring attention to the growing need for animal adoption. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the organizations that help them find homes. "I am glad that this calendar is raising awareness about all the animals that need to be adopted." Lejla Hadzimuratovic, founder of the Bunny World Foundation said. "The fact that part of the proceeds go to my charity and others like it is so important."
Shoppers can purchase their very own 12-month calendar and contribute to the cause at www.hotguysandbabyanimals.com
Hot Guys and Baby Animals was created by Audrey Khuner and Carolyn Newman. Look for new products from this dynamic duo in the near future.

Well, at least some progress is being made.
The estate of Marvin Gaye settled their lawsuit against EMI, the rights-holder of both Gaye's and Robin Thicke's music, which was previously perceived to have been dragging their feet in pursuing Thicke for basically, allegedly, ripping off several Gaye songs.
We've discussed this before, and you can compare them here, but there's really no denying that the Thicke songs "borrow" heavily from the classic Marvin Gaye tracks. Allegedly.
Terms of the settlement with Sony/EMI have not been disclosed, but lawsuits between the Gaye estate and Thicke remain active – yes, he had the balls to sue the estate of the man he's allegedly ripped off.

Second Best Environmental Policies under Uncertainty
AbstractWe construct a strategic trade model of an international duopoly, whereby production by exporting firms generates a local pollutant. Governments use environmental policies, i.e., an emissions standard or a tax, to control pollution and for rent shifting purposes. Contrary to their firm, however, governments are unable to perfectly foresee the actual level of demand, the cost of abatement and the damage caused from pollution. Under these modes of uncertainty we derive sufficient conditions under which the governments optimally choose an emissions tax over an emissions standard.

Each issue carries an
from the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Reprinting prohibited
by Ellen Fanizzi
Jeff is 16 and considers himself a pretty lucky
guy. Last month, his two best friends got arrested for shoplifting.
Now they're spending their weekends doing the volunteer work
ordered by the juvenile court judge.
Jeff would be right there alongside them, if luck
hadn't been with him that Saturday at the mall when the three
tried shoplifting CD's. A security guard caught his friends
red-handed, but not Jeff. With no evidence, the judge had
to drop the charge against him. Jeff "beat the rap."
Why is it then that he feel so lousy about the whole
incident? Why can't he just forget about it?
Jeff is not what you'd describe as a really religious
guy. His parents send him to a Catholic school, but he isn't
very interested in what he calls Church stuff. He's interested
in broadcasting and spends his Sunday afternoons at the radio
station where he has an internship.
So, he is surprised to find himself thinking about
the Sacrament of Reconciliation, about asking a priest at
school to hear his confession. Why would anybody voluntarily
reveal their failures, faults or even their crimes?
Who Needs It?
Occasionally, when I talk about religion with friends
who aren't Catholic, they'll say, "It must be awful to have
to tell your sins to a priest!" I have to disagree. Going
to Confession is not easy most times, it's true. On the other
hand, I'm certainly glad that the Sacrament of Reconciliation
is there when I need it.
Why does the Catholic Church have this ritual? After
the Resurrection, Jesus established this sacrament for his
followers. He realized that even after Baptism we would still
have to deal with the reality of sin. Out of his great love,
Jesus instituted this sacrament through which a sinner who
is sorry receives pardon and peace and is restored to the
fullness of grace with God.
Confession is a very intimate experience. Even in
a communal reconciliation service that you might attend during
Advent, Lent or a retreat, individual confessions are private.
The Catholic Church maintains, however, that there
is also a social aspect to sin. Sin not only affects our relationship
with God, sin also alienates us from other people and the
In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Jesus provides
us with a way of being reconciled to God and to those we've
hurt, and to be strengthened in our connection to God's entire
family. This is more than symbolic; it is spiritual reality
expressed through ritual.
Maybe there are a few people who don't need ritual
in their life, but most do. Isn't the peak of every school
year the traditional events at its end? Seniors spend weeks
planning for commencement as well as preparing the invitations,
going to the parties. It is a big event, a ritual.
A principal can, I suppose, just send the diplomas
through the mail, but most realize it is important for students
to have a ceremony. I know, when I graduated from high school,
I wanted to walk across that auditorium stage in cap and gown
and be handed my hard-earned diploma. God understands this
about us. Human beings need rituals and ceremonies to celebrate
the important moments in life.
No Mere Magic
How would you define sin? When you were young, you
might have thought of sin in terms of the breaking of Church
rules. Children's confessions often consist solely of a list
of broken commandments. As you grew, however, you probably
developed a more mature understanding of sin. As a teenager,
you understand better than a child that sin can take place
in any aspect of your life.
A lot of images have been used to explain what happens
when we sin. My grandmother told me that when she was preparing
for her first Confession she was told to think of her soul
as a white dress. When she sinned, it was like spilling grape
juice on it.
The Church provides a clearer notion. It defines
sin as a deliberate turning away from God and God's goodness.
Since God is love and only wills what is ultimately good,
sin is a rejection of love. It leads to division, conflict
and pain. These are the characteristics of life apart from
God. On the other hand, whatever is good and leads to God
is holy.
In some ways, it is really hard to commit sin, because
sin involves making a conscious decision to turn away from
God and God's goodness. You do not sin when you simply make
an honest mistake. On the other hand, sometimes sin can come
quite easily, especially when you've let bad habits such as
gossiping or lying become part of your behavior.
God has given you a wonderful freedom to love him,
his creation and everyone in it. When you sin, you misuse
that freedom. Fortunately, sin doesn't have to have the last
word in your life. You can repent and turn back to God. Jesus
is there to help you make that move. Through his death, Jesus
rescued humanity to the Father. As risen Lord, he now dwells
within the Church.
The formula for absolution recounts this great mystery
of salvation. Absolution does not work like magic, but it
is amazing to realize how extraordinary God's redeeming love
for you really is.
God of Compassion
Sometimes people think of the Sacrament of Reconciliation
in terms of a criminal trial. They imagine God as the judge,
the priest as God's lawyer and the sinner as being on trial.
And they think the penance the sinner receives is punishment
for the offense committed. This idea is completely off the
There's an old saying, "God hates the sin, not the
sinner." Just as a loving mother disapproves of those destructive
behaviors which harm her child, so God condemns our sins.
So while it's true that when you sin you turn away from God,
it does not follow that God turns away from you.
The God you encounter in the Sacrament of Reconciliation
is the God of compassion. In the battle against sin, God is
on your side. That doesn't mean God is pleased by sin. Rather,
it means that, because of an overwhelming love for us, God
reaches out even further to meet us when we need our Maker
When it comes to sin, we can be sure that God is
not vengeful or spiteful but merciful and forgiving. That's
clear from the example of Jesus. Think of how he dealt with
the sinners whom he encountered.
Luke tells the story of a sinful woman who sought
out Jesus. He was eating at the home of Simon the Pharisee,
a well-established and self-righteous man in the community,
when this sinful woman showed up at the dinner party. She
was obviously uninvited. Because she had a bad reputation,
she was considered a terrible sinner and hence an outcast.
But Jesus welcomed her in.
Simon the Pharisee was outraged that Jesus would
associate with this kind of woman. But the Lord knew of her
sorrow for her sins, and her humble heart which desired healing.
Jesus said of this woman that "her many sins are forgiven;
hence, she has shown great love" (Luke 7:47).
It's About Real Life
Religion is not just about what goes on in church.
It's about your whole life, because God is everywhere. When
someone believes in God and has faith, it affects his or her
whole life. Someone who is nice in church but a jerk the rest
of the week is someone who is not fully committed to living
a Christian life. If that kind of hypocrisy turns you off,
it should. Real religion is faith expressed on a daily basis.
So, what types of things should you mention in Confession?
All aspects of life are fair game: missing Mass, sexual misconduct,
cheating on test and not trusting your own brain. Remember
that sin can be committed in any part of your life. It's not
restricted to the list of sins you might have been shown when
you were preparing for your very first Confession.
When you ignore or mistreat a classmate because
that person's of a different race, or you attempt to solve
your disagreements with your fists, that's sinful. Racial
prejudice and violence are also sins. A good examination of
conscience requires that you consider how you might have expressed
the love of Jesus and failed to do so.
The Three Elements
In your parents' day, the Sacrament of Reconciliation
was usually celebrated in private in a closet-sized space
called a confessional box. Today, there are several ways to
celebrate the sacrament. It can be completely private, in
either a confessional or reconciliation room or other suitable
place, such as an office. It can also be celebrated communally,
during a public reconciliation service which includes the
opportunity for individual confession. Depending upon the
setting, a Scripture reading or music may be included.
In any case, a few things are indispensable. A priest
is necessary, since only an ordained person has the authority
to give absolution. On your part, three essential elements
are required.
1. Be repentant. O.K., you blew it. Being
repentant is the recognition that you've made a mess of something
in your life, and you want to clean it up.
Your ability to face your sins is a good sign. A
real scoundrel doesn't feel guilty about the evil he or she
has committed. So if you're feeling bad about something you've
done, that already says something good about you.
2. Confess your sins. When you
confess your sins, you're not telling God anything God doesn't
know already. The point is to be honest with yourself, to
hear yourself name those ugly sins out loud and in the presence
of a priest who alone can provide you with the peace of absolution.
3. Accept the penance. Accepting a penance
from the priest and completing it is proof of your true sorrow.
It is a way of expressing your sincere sorrow, a way of "putting
your money where your mouth is."
Consider it this way: Suppose a friend snatched
your allowance which was in your locker. What would you think
if that friend said, "Hey, I'm sorry I stole the money. Let's
forget it." Maybe you're a nice person and you decide to cut
the kid a break. But wouldn't you also expect the money back?
Wouldn't it be crazy if your friend said, "I'm sorry.
Forgive me. Let's be friends againbut I get to keep
the money I stole." Justice demands that words of regret be
accompanied by actions which demonstrate true contrition.
True contrition itself is a dynamic reality that
seeks to turn aside from sin and evil, and to turn back to
God. Accepting and performing the penance assigned by the
priest puts us on the road to God again, our final goal.
Peace and Freedom
Sometimes people put off this sacrament or avoid
it altogether because they don't have big sins to confess.
Well, the reality is this: While most of us will never be
great saints, we'll never be great sinners either. We'll just
be ordinary sinners, but still people in need of God's healing.
If you are ever hesitant or nervous about approaching
a pnest for Reconciliation, here are a couple of things to
keep in mind. First, whatever you discuss with the priest
is under "the seal of confession" and under no circumstances
can he violate that secrecy. Second, every priest goes to
Confession, too. He knows how hard it can be. If you're not
sure how to examine your conscience or forget how to make
an Act of Contrition, tell the priest that. Priests are trained
to help you receive the sacrament. Basically, you just need
to show up with a sorrowful heart.
At some point in your life, you have probably gotten
away with something, only to end up secretly punishing yourself
for the misdeed. That's because no matter who else was fooled,
you still knew about it and so did God. That's why Jeff, who
got away with a petty theft, now finds himself feeling not
so lucky after all. Unforgiven sins have a way of haunting
Instead of beating yourself over the head with bad
feelings about past misdeeds, consider accepting the forgiveness
God offers you through Jesus.
The words of absolution recited over you will renew
your inner peace. St. Paul assures us that "whoever is in
Christ is a new creation....and all this is from God, who
has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the
ministry of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). The Sacrament
of Reconciliation can set you free.

How long can you put off Confession? Don't
some people wait until they're dying?
Throughout the Church's history, the frequency
of this sacrament has varied. Your parent's generation, for
example, knew Confession as a weekly, Saturday afternoon practice.
Catholics are obliged to confess all mortal sins, but are
encouraged to come to the sacrament often with essential venial
sins, so as to receive God's mercy and grace.
You almost make it sound as though it's better
to be a sinner than to try to avoid sin. Isn't sin-free a
better condition than being forgiven?
Absolutely, but you presuppose that human
beings have the ability to live sinless lives. Look at history
and consider your own personal experience. It becomes clear
that the sinless option won't work.
What are tne circumstances in which a priest
would deny absolution? You mention being truly sorry. How
would a priest be able to judge that?
The priest's role is to administer the
sacrament. He wants to be able to give you absolution. A priest
would deny absolution, however, if you can't express an honest
sorrow for your sins and a resolution to try to change. Those
are signs that your repentance isn't sincere.

- Too Pure does one
- First robotic president outlaws distribution and use of all analog media
In a move that warmed the hearts of people the world over who constantly get told they'd like High Fidelity, Too Pure Records announced the beginning of a singles club this October. While artists such as Electrelane, Scout Niblett, and Stereolab have called Too Pure home, the club seems more focused on lesser-known artists the label has deemed worthy of attention. The first handful of artists includes Lone Lady, Vera November (a.k.a. Verity Susman of Electrelane), and It Hugs Back.
Membership costs £30 for British residents, and £35 for international record geeks. The bad news is that it adds up to almost $70 for Americans, but the good news is that you get 12 records, postage paid and the rights to download digital versions of the songs courtesy of Rough Trade Online. Moreover, the records are limited to 500 apiece and will be distributed almost exclusively through the club, with "a very small number distributed to select indies."
Memberships can be purchased via the Too Pure website. And if it's anything like the grilled cheese I purchased for lunch, it will be delicious and have an unplaceable spiciness that will make you want to buy another membership tomorrow or even later today.
Iron & Wine Shaves Beard, Immediately Grows Back In Time For Tour And… The End of the World! Details Below
Late last night, I received a call. No, it wasn't a "Dear John" from the missus (though that came eventually... look for updates later); instead, a gravelly voice came through the receiver: "Go to YouTube, watch Iron & Wine videos. And wear your 3-D glasses." I tried to get the caller's name to no avail, so I gave in and found some videos. The results were shocking.
Luckily, I swiped 3-D specs from my last viewing of Muppet Vision 3-D at Universal Studios. While viewing "Naked As We Came," directed by Iron & Wine/Sam Beam (not to be confused with Sean Bean), the screen burst into glowing colors; diagrams unfurled before me with dazzling precision... I saw... I saw his plans for the End of the World in the video! Sub Pop scientists explain that they have pinpointed the day of the global-warming apocalypse, just like on the cover of the new Smashing Pumpkins record). The video intimates details of the Iron & Wine Contingency Plan (something about defacing Mount Rushmore like Zod in Superman II, while Beam reigns over South Dakota with an iron beard). It didn't divulge any specifics, but the closing message promised the answer would be buried somewhere inside the forthcoming Iron & Wine album, The Shepherd's Dog. Then it was over...
Mysterious 3-D Messages Abound At:
Rilo Kiley to Release Under the Blacklight This August, Five Things Jenny Lewis Did That Are More Valuable than Her Music; Seriously, Jenny, Baby, Sweetheart: There Are Career Opportunities Opening Daily in Real Estate Or As Conor Oberst's Living Shelf-Doll
Misleading headline:
The remainder of this article DOES NOT provide ANY evidence that Conor Oberst keeps flower-power INDIE!-a-go-go chickys (like Jenny Lewis) on lock-down in His basement to act as concubines-o'-da'-sweet-jams. NO EVIDENCE EXISTS that He sits in that basement, hood-up, playing "First Day of My Life" as many times as He deems fit, while said flower-power INDIE!-a-go-go chickys repeatedly bless themselves on His command to avoid a hefty tongue-lashing, or, another heart-string-pullin' rendition of "First Day Of My Life." There is, additionally, NO EVIDENCE that the phrase "flower-power INDIE!-a-go-go chickys" serves as an appropriate catch-all for describing less-fortunate (fictitious) music love slaves of Oberst.
TRUE STORY, though:
Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight is scheduled for release August 21 in the United States. Buy it, reader, else the first time you hear the sweet jams is sure to be on the Grey's Anatomy-- du jour of the time! GASP!
1. Kicking ass as Hannah Nefler in Troop Beverly Hills
2. Co-starring with Shelley Long in Troop Beverly Hills
3. Appearing on a single episode of Murder She Wrote in 1994

5. (Figuratively) being in the same room as J.B. Fletcher (played by Angela Lansbury) on Murder She Wrote in 1994
Hands down, Angela Lansbury trumps this.
Oh, and Blake "Soper," nothing beats three episodes on Salute Your Shorts. Puhhhhhleassse.

Doubts arise, I'm sure, as to why Neil Hamburger — a stand-up comedian — gets constant mention in the independent music media.
A small HIStory lesson is in order. Neil Hamburger, Christian name Gregg Turkington, was owner of über-independent music label Amarillo Records in the 90s, with a roster that included Faxed Head, Zip Code Rapists, and The Three Doctors — all containing Turkington as a member. Each of those bands, incidentally, also featured Trey Spruance -- yes, of Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3 fame, but also of the label Web of Mimicry, which later released Chiropractic, Faxed Head's third album.
The music business being what it is (full of decrepit and drug-addled degenerates), Turkington found only moderate success among those with expendable income for all things entertainment. Each band he was in either broke up or slowly faded from existence, an unfortunate byproduct of a glue-sniffing pastime, and shortly thereafter, Neil Hamburger was born, already middle-aged and suffering from lung cancer. A deal with Drag City followed.
Turkington-turned-Hamburger has circulated some interesting rounds lately, including a stint on Fox News' Red Eye. More recently he was a featured guest on Tomgreen.com. But most importantly, he'll be back 'round the Midwest doing his stand-up routine, replete with new material and magician Dr. El Suavo opening some dates. So, what does his stand-up routine have to do with music again? Why don't you pay the $10 and go find out for yourself, you cocksucker!?

Dirty Projectors Announce Fall Tour, "Rewrites" Black Flag's Damaged From Memory; I Have No Input at All
I think my brain is malfunctioning this week. I've read the one sheet about the new album a few times in a row this week, but it's still not quite sinking in. You see, Dirty Projectors mastermind David Longstreth has "reimagined" Black Flag's Damaged in an attempt to "stage his own theft of the punk rock spirit." According to the press release:
From beginning to end, Dirty Projectors' new offering, Rise Above, is a reimagining of Black's Flag seminal 1981 record Damaged. It is not a covers record. Longstreth attempted to rewrite his favorite adolescent album word for word, from memory.
Am I missing something? Don't get me wrong. I like Dirty Ps. I like them a lot actually, but I just don't quite get it. Explain it to me, readers! Anyway, Rise Above comes out on Dead Oceans September 11. Members of Grizzly Bear were involved in the recording, or something, and uh... Dirty Ps will tour beginning in August...
Sorry, I have lost all interest in this article. My brain must be shutting down again.
Rise Above tracklisting:
Soft Machine Founder and Living Legend Kevin Ayers Returns with a Fanclub of Ladybugs from Helsinki
Many musicians try to make a go in this absurd industry, solely to savor that delicious power that comes with having someone on the payroll whose primary role is to pick the yellow M&Ms out of the rider bowl with their asscheeks or the satisfaction that comes with trying to break your groupie "hour plow" record nightly. Don't get me wrong, we love hearing about it, but sometimes it makes us feel a whole lot hollow inside. A few folk have an altogether more refreshing slant on making music. Kevin Ayers, for example, seems to have it all figured out. After running ramshot over listeners' expectations early in his career with a number of groundbreaking critic's faves (Soft Machine, Wilde's Flowers), he realized that it is decidedly better to fade away and rust rather than to burn. Ayers has spent the last few decades playing the nomad, jamming and recording with friends and admirers, and famously, never taking himself too seriously.
Celebrated among the unconventionals for his influential work with Daevid Allen and Robert Wyatt in Soft Machine for a right-smart spell, Ayers has more recently been rightfully given his dues by the wicker men and ladies fair of the psychedelic pastoral scene, mostly because his imaginative late-1960s/early-1970s solo albums, which have been revisited through the power of the reissue. As is increasingly the case, the piper has united with some of his rats to record a new album, due on LO-MAX Records September 3. The Unfairground, Ayers' first album in 15-odd years, was recorded in pieces in New York, Tucson, Glasgow, and London by Gary Olson, Peter Henderson, and Ayers himself, and is chockablock with impressive collaborators. Here is the full supporting cast and songlist for the album:
Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor), Jeff Baron (Ladybug Transistor), Heather McIntosh (Ladybug Transistor, etc.), San Fadyl (Ladybug Transistor), Joe McGinty (keyboard wizard, Baby Steps), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Francis MacDonald (Teenage Fanclub), Euros Childs (Gorky's Zygotic Mynci), Bill Wells (UK avant-jazz great), Kellie Sutherland (Architecture in Helsinki), Tara Shackell (Architecture in Helsinki), Isobel Knowles (Architecture in Helsinki), Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music), Gus Franklin (Architecture in Helsinki), Frank Reader (Trashcan Sinatras), Robbie McIntosh (guitar hero), Candie Payne (Liverpool's finest songbird), Robert Wyatt (Robert Wyatt), Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine), Graham Henderson (frequent Ayers sidekick), Julian Koster (Neutral Milk Hotel, etc.), Daisy Martey (Noonday Underground, Morcheeba), Bridget St. John (husky-voiced psych-folk legend), Dave McGowan (Isobel Campbell, Teenage Fanclub).

In The Future, Indie Labels Will Be Sold on Craigslist to Young Girls Who Think Colin Meloy Is Cute
The year is 2007. The month is July. The future is bright. In this futuristic society that only exists in maybes and hyperboles, cars do not fly but baseball players hit homeruns like step-children, and shows are based on elevated reality.
One show, in particular, is Sweet Sixteen. This is shown on the futuristic channel called MTV. The idea behind MTV is to showcase music videos (hence the acronym). However, in this future society, the heads at MTV will rely on reality television. Sweet Sixteen will be a show that showcases whores in training (WITs) and their upcoming 16th birthday party. Since this is the future, the WITs are lavished with DJs, guest appearances by such stars as Lil' Bow Wow, red carpet entrances, and parents who pretend they love them.
Parents will usually lavish their WITs with futuristic cars that have heated cup holders, flip-down DVD screens, and keg"eradors." However, I'm predicting one day there will come a time when some girl, some super-heavy-duty-extreme WIT will ask for an indie-rock record label. She will have eaten away her soul with episodes of The O.C. and Laguna Beach. She will have come to terms with bands such as Spoon and/or Modest Mouse and decide there is nothing more important to her existence than to own an indie-rock record label, for only then will she get to entertain the hearts of Adam Brody or Stephen Colletti.
Unfortunately, the future is now. And on the ever-so-hip want/buy/sell ad list known as Craigslist, there is an indie record label for sale. The asking price is 10,000 bones, and the label requests serious inquiries only. It promises contacts and existing relationships with national distributors, but it doesn't reveal exactly which label it is. We are assuming you have to contact the seller for that info.
Please take up this offer before some O.C. watching, flare jean-wearing, Hummer-driving WIT takes up the offer and ruins one of the last vestiges of the free world.
Thank you.
Mike Skinner Drops His Creative Trans, The Streets Eat Their Feet and Discreetly Stretch Street Date
In 5.... 4.... 3..........
...Hello again, everybody and welcome back to KTMT, where it's time once again for your KTMT "Traffic On The Tuesdays" Road Report, giving you an up-to-the-minute, real-time look at your drive-time travel day! Traffic this week is brought to you by... uh...byyyy... well, by Tiny Mix Tapes! Tiny Mix Tapes: "With a Name This Lame, We've Got To be Cool."
Now, without further obvious diversion, here's a look at your TMT Traffic Outlook for Tuesday, July 24, 2007! Vroom, vroom, commuters:
> I-19 Inbound is tied up from Rural Route 3 all the way into downtown with an accident blocking two of the three available northbound lanes; all in all, it looks like a 73-minute trip to the junction at 87th Street.
> Right now, it's 25 minutes from the William Henry Harrison Memorial Expressway at Lake Street out to the Riverside Toll Road, and if you're thinking about taking the bridge out to the suburbs, think again, as a stalled Transit Authority bus has brought all traffic to a standstill while workers hurry to clear the area. No word as of yet on exactly when the blockage is expected to be cleared.
> Lastly, the road to British MC Mike Skinner's new record as The Streets seems to be experiencing some massive delays due to a serious roadblock that has apparently halted neuron traffic in the fame-paranoid rapper's main creative throughfare. Preliminary reports from the KTMT Traffic-Copter cite a post on Skinner's MySpace as the source of problem, wherein the particulars of Skinner's skid-out are detailed, as is the statement that this new Streets record, the follow-up to 2006's The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, is now scheduled to be under construction until early 2008.
When we managed to pull Skinner away from his jackhammer for a moment and asked him to comment on all of this unscheduled Streets construction, the reluctant rapper replied "Making an album when you're quite well known is a bit stressful. I've had to accept this week that because my album isn't quite right yet it won't be coming out this year."
While fans of minimalist, storytelling, everyman nu-rap hoping to pick up the latest Streets disc may be miffed to find themselves stuck in traffic for quite a while, it seems to be Skinner himself who is experiencing the brunt of the road rage. "I think I've got the makings of a great record," the addled MC explained, "but I've been working so hard on it my head is spinning at the end of every day, and when I wake up each morning the first thing I feel is panic."
Thankfully, however, Skinner is trying his best not to drive angry while he navigates his way through the bottleneck. "I've decided to try to get some distance from it while we do this Scotland tour, Get Loaded (In The Park) and Ibiza. This also means I'll maintain my tidy pattern of releasing an album in 2002, 2004, 2006 and, now, 2008." No word yet as to exactly when all of the lanes will re-open in 2008, but The Streets are scheduled to play a handful of 'cross-the-pond shows throughout the summer, including the Ibiza Rocks festival August 6, which should at least keep European commuters mildly entertained while they wait out the nasty six-month trip to their nearest record store.
And now, Weather:
07.24.07 - Inverness, Scotland - Ironworks
07.25.07 - Aberdeen, Scotland - Moshulu
07.26.07 - Dundee, Scotland - Fat Sam's

Government Issue Frontman John Stabb Assaulted; Benefits Being Planned
On July 17, John Stabb (of Government Issue) was assaulted a block from his home by five youths to the point of requiring "extensive" facial surgery and an indefinite hospital stay. As a result of mounting medical expenses, limited insurance benefits, and potential wage loss, a benefit campaign has been launched.
In addition to a potential auction, a concert benefit concert is in the planning stages. At press time, bands expressing interest in playing the concert (still in the speculation stages, mind you) include Against Me! and Connecticut hardcore veterans 76% Uncertain. Meanwhile, information on financial donations and updates on the situation can be found at this website.
Read Stabb's own account of the incident and receive updates on the situation here. Here's to a speedy recovery, John. "Rock and Roll Bullshit" is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Defendant's Attorney Fees Ordered To Be Paid By Capitol Records, RIAA Loses Lawsuit; See Also: David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17:1-58) [Abridged]
4 A champion named Capitol, who was from Hollywood, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall.
5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels,
6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back.
7 His spear shaft was like a weaver's rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield bearer, the RIAA, went ahead of him.
12 Now Amanda was the daughter of a woman named Debbie, who was from Bethlehem in Judah (or not).
17 Now Debbie said to her daughter Amanda, "Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread to Limewire and downloadeth some Avril Lavigne.
20 Early in the morning Amanda left the flock with a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Debbie had directed. She reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry and downloading tunes.
21 The file-sharer and Capitol Records were drawing up their lines facing each other.
50 So Amanda triumphed over the RIAA with a sling and a stone; without a sword in her hand she struck down the RIAA and killed him.
51 Amanda ran and stood over Capitol. She took hold of Capitol's sword and drew it from the scabbard. After she killed him, she cut off his head with the sword. When the RIAA saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
As demonstrated in the Old Testament, a milestone for P2P-ers everywhere is upon us; a giant has fallen -- the RIAA has been ordered in a court of law to pay lawyer fees in its Capitol Records, Inc. vs. Debbie Foster and Amanda Foster case. On the strength of their counterclaims of declaratory judgment, the Fosters have been awarded $68,685.23, the only defendant ever awarded a sum against an RIAA member. The RIAA has since issued a statement, assuring its quivering masses that this was a judge's mistake and an "isolated occurrence" to never be relived. Only time will tell, but for now rejoice, Israelites, rejoice!

TEAMS: Oakland Raiders
Raiders running back Taiwan Jones picked up the first-team reps at running back Wednesday with Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson sidelined with ankle sprains. Quarterback Carson Palmer had high praise for Jones Wednesday: "I feel like I've been waiting forever (for Jones to play a bigger role). I can't wait. He does amazing things in practice and he's by far the fastest person on the field. And not that you want to see guys get banged up, but I'm excited about the opportunity he's getting ... I mean, he's so electrifying. He puts his foot in the ground and goes. He wiggles out of hits, he wiggles out of tackles. Can't wait to throw him the ball, get him in the open field." SOURCE: CSNBayArea.comFantasy Spin:Jones has been slowed by injuries and ball security issues this season but he's all the Raiders have left at running back.

Where do the health inspection records come from?The information for our database comes from Sacramento County's Environmental Management Department, which is in charge of inspecting the county's approximately 5,000 food facilities and holding them to the standards set by the state health code.
How far back do the records go? And when do they get updated?Our database contains health inspection records as far back as July 2005. The database is updated on a daily basis with new reports from the county's website.
What do the colors for the inspection results mean?Since 2007, Sacramento County has instituted a colored placard program to indicate the rating of food facilities. A green placard means that the facility passed with no more than one major violation, corrected or mitigated during the inspection. A yellow card indicates that the business had two or more major violations; a reinspection is required within 72 hours. A red card is given when there is an imminent health danger, such as a pest infestation or a lack of hot water. The facility is to remain closed until a reinspection confirms that the hazard is fixed.
Read more about the placard system at the county's website
According to the county's site, this restaurant's latest placard is green. Why does The Bee's interactive map mark it with a yellow or red icon?Our search feature allows users to search by food facilities' performance during their latest routine, unannounced inspections. Virtually all food facilities will have green placards posted, but only after hazards are fixed and a reinspection is performed.
How can I read the actual inspection reports?The county posts Adobe PDF files of all the inspections in the last two routine inspection cycles on their website.
I'm having trouble finding places with the searchFor facility names, avoid using non-alphanumeric characters. For example, do a search for "joe" as opposed to "Joe's Pizza."
Where are the reports for the surrounding counties?We are currently working on getting inspection data from the surrounding counties.

Each June and July, hundreds of students from across the country (and sometimes around the world) gather for the annual FELC Summer Program.
Summer 2014 Sessions
- June 15-19 at Wingate University (Wingate, North Carolina)
- July 6-10 at Palm Beach Atlantic University (West Palm Beach, Florida)
- July 13-17 at Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan)
- July 20-24 at Campbell University (Buies Creek, North Carolina)
Registration for all summer 2014 programs will open on December 2. To learn more or register online, visit our program website at www.felcexperience.org.
When and where does FELC take place?
The summer program is always conducted at colleges and universities. Students reside in supervised dorms during the week and eat in university cafeterias.
What do students learn?
Rather than relying on traditional lecture methods, FELC offers a unique opportunity to experience business through fun activities that have practical application! The core activity of the week is a company competition. Students form start-ups and are responsible for getting their companies running and turning a true profit. Just like any new company, students must work to write business plans, create commercials and keep accounting records. This fast-paced activity is supplemented with activities that help all future entrepreneurs. Debates, speech contests, and daily speakers round out a busy week.
Who can attend FELC?
If you will be in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade at the start of the school year you are eligible! Students should also have demonstrated a capacity for leadership, be interested in free enterprise and be ready for a challenge! No business experience is required, but students should be willing to work.
How do students apply and how much does FELC cost?
A registration fee is due for each accepted student. This fee will cover activities, housing and all meals. Payment must be received before applicants will be formally accepted. If you are seeking financial assistance to attend, please carefully review the Financial Aid Form for additional payment instructions. A refund will be issued if a student applicant is not selected to participate.
2014 Program Registration Fee: $125
The program does cost considerably more than students are actually asked to pay. Private contributors, who believe in the mission of the program and in young people, generously help to defray the cost (typically a $500 value per student).

Gunmakers' shares take off as orders jump
Sturm, Ruger shares rise more than 12% after it says it's received orders for more than 1 million units and won't take new orders until after May. Smith & Wesson shares rise, too.
Updated: 3:08 p.m. ET
It's a great time to be a maker of handguns.
Just ask Sturm, Ruger & Co. (RGR), whose shares are up $5.50 to $47.80 this afternoon after hitting an all-time high of $47.88.
Reason: The gunmaker announced late Wednesday that it has received wholesale orders for more than 1 million units so far this quarter. That's more than the company can manufacture. So it has stopped accepting new orders until the end of May.
The shares are up 960% since bottoming in November 2008.
The company makes rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers. Sales in 2011 were $328 million, up 28% from a year earlier. The company earned $40 million or $2.09 a share, up from $28.3 million, or $1.46 a share, in 2010.
Sales were up 81% since 2008, reflecting worries about the economy and fears that President Obama and Democrats might try to rein in gun ownership. (There have been no efforts, in fact.)
Business is great for rival Smith & Wesson Holdings (SWHC), whose shares are up 86 cents $7.76 this afternoon. They hit $8, a 52-week high, and are up 383% since bottoming at $1.60 in October 2008.
Smith & Wesson's backlog at the end of January was $198.5 million, up 169% from a year earlier.
Folks, it is simple, typical PR minipulation that both sides use. This time the NRA and extreme right tells America that Obama will take away your guns which in truth can not happen because of the House Republican majority. It's raw meat for the base, that convinces people to buy as many guns as they can, causing supply demand shortages that raises prices, increases profits that allows more money to go to the gun lobbies who pay off the politicians. Taking money from the people to line the pockets of the gun makers, lobbyists and politicians Brilliant! Republicans and democrats cut from the same cloth, no you don't see it because you don't want to ever think a corporation would ever do such a terrible thing to the American people. Hundreds of millions of guns out there and do you really think any force can take them away. Get real, how many do you really need? Oh by the way, how many gallons of gasoline could you buy if you didn't just spend $ 500-$1000 on another shotgun or glock? How many gallons if you wern't spending $ 100 a week on cigaretts and booze?
I've noticed something rather curious. Next time you are in Wal-Mart or Gander Mountain, or Cabela's or a similar place, check the prices on the handgun amMunition and keep track of it. It seems like the prices raise and fall and are defendant upon any civil "unrest" taking place - mostly in the USA, but sometimes overseas, as well. When "Occupy" was front page news, ammo prices were higher. Another "protest" march in NY or elsewhere, the prices are up again. It's almost like the stock marker for civilian activity. I guess that is to be expected.

In anticipation of The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall's arrival in Santa Clarita, the city prepared an essay contest for fourth through sixth graders as well as volunteer opportunities for residents of all ages.
Volunteers will be needed 24 hours a day September 26 - September 29, 2013 to assist in the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall while it is being displayed in Santa Clarita.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall is the largest traveling replica of the actual Vietnam Memorial Wall. It is an 80% replica with 100% of the names of the victims from the Vietnam War. The Wall creates an opportunity for communities to raise local awareness for its Vietnam veterans and to help our nation's heroes, one community at a time.
Looking to support fellow veterans and educate Santa Clarita Valley youth, Chuck Morris, of Santa Clarita is bringing a Vietnam War memorial wall to Santa Clarita.

"It's amazing how big this event has become -- from an idea to fruition -- it's amazing," said Morris, a veteran of the Korean War.
The effort, which is still looking for volunteers, will bring a wall full of names to the Santa Clarita Valley -- a 360-foot long, 8-foot high tribute to the 58,238 men and women who died in service during the Vietnam War.
