A Nebraska doctor's message for Ben Nelson; Updated
Dr. Becky Hollibaugh of Friend, Nebraska e-mailed me her message for sellout Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) this morning:
Hello Michelle:
I'm a family practice doctor in Nebraska. I sent the following (angry,I admit) letter to Senator Nelson. I urge your readers (from Nebraska and elsewhere) to do likewise, in their own words!
Dear Senator Nelson:
I send this message under "Tort Reform" because the current monstrosity you have pledged your support to says nothing whatsoever about Tort Reform. You have sold the physicians of Nebraska for zilch (zilch for us, but beaucoup federal bucks for you and the liberal partisans in this state). As a family practice physician in Small Town, Nebraska, I was counting on you to be the lone voice of Democratic sanity on this issue, but you sold me out. I will dedicate
every spare minute of my time and every spare dollar I have to defeating you, should you run for re-election. The long hours I spent on my medical education and the long hours I spend treating my patients are nothing but chump change to you and your Democrat colleagues in Washington. I especially can't wait for your equivocation and milquetoast evasion when your "compromises" on the abortion language in the bill are silently erased or quietly (on-little-legislative-cat's-feet) eviscerated in the House/Senate give-and-take. Go on: Bet me that you won't wuss-out on this issue!
I know you won't give two-seconds to this letter, but I had to write it. I'm a primary care doctor in YOUR state, and you sold me out. I didn't slog through 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school and 3 years of residency just to have you hand my career and my patient/doctor relationships over to government lifers. Your gutless acquiescence to Obama and Harry Reid and 'Nanny' Pelosi will NOT be forgotten.
Thank you, Ben, for forcing doctors like me to earn less than the repairmen who fix our appliances. Case in point: We recently had our dishwasher fixed. The repairman who came to our house charged $65 just to come and 'diagnose' the problem, then charged another $180 to 'fix' the problem. You and your fellow lawmakers have fixed MY going rate (Medicare) at $35 per-visit. Thank you for securing such a 'lucrative' rate for me! Thank you so much for making me–someone with 8 years of education!–make less than a mechanic or appliance repair technichian. And thanks especially for falling in line with Obama and the rest of the Democrats to make such a socialist system permanent.
You have my disgust and disdain forever, you socialist-coddling coward.
Becky F. Hollibaugh, D.O.
Warren Memorial Hospital
Ziimmerman Clinic
Friend, NE 68359
Dr. Hollibaugh adds in an e-mail update in response to left-wing critics:
Thank you so much for making it more widely available.
…To those who would accuse me of greed: I don't make as much as you think I do. I give every one of my patients the very best care I can offer, regardless of their ability to pay. And I do NOT begrudge my mechanic or my appliance repairmen their salaries. Not one bit. I gladly pay them what I owe them. What you leftist idiots don't understand is this: I am forced to accept $35 for an office visit by a medicaid or medicare patient. I. Can't. Afford. It. On that enforced wage, I can't pay my nurses. I can't pay my billing secretaries. I can't pay my receptionist. I. Can't. Survive. On. Obamacare. Get it?! I. Can't. Pay. My. Nurses. On. Ben. Nelson. Wages. Get it? I hope so. You think I'm greedy? I went to medical school as a former nurse at age 36. I have over $180,000 dollars in student loans. I. Can't. Survive. On. Obamacare. I hope this helps. I don't make as much as you might think. And most
of what I earn goes to repaying my student loans. I love my little family medicine clinic in Friend. I love being a doctor in rural Nebraska. I love my patients and I love rural family medicine. But Ben Nelson sold me out. Thanks again for letting me vent. I'm not greedy. I don't envy the wages of my blue-collar friends. But I can't survive or pay my employees on Uncle Sam's reimbursement rate for my services.

I would definitely be interested in planning a trip to New Orleans, but I need to know WHO would be interested first!
What happened tonight was the biggest moment in Sharks history. With apologies to Jamie Baker, it was absolutely the most significant elimination victory to date.
Big enough to make me pick them to win the Stanley Cup. Late to the bandwagon, to be sure. But, damn, I needed some proof.
And, tonight, I got it."—Ann Killion

Twitter is down, and instinctively I wanted to tweet that twitter was down, but obviously I can't do that. I've turned to tumblr.
Twitter is down! It's been several minutes of downtime now, I don't know what to do.
I was about to hit "Create Post" and almost wanted to link this blog update to twitter.
Edit: Twitter downtime has ended, my life can resume
Pavelski is No. 1 in playoff scoring and No. 1 in Sharks fans' hearts. Every time his face – adorned with a hopeful ginger playoff beard – appeared on the big screen at HP Pavilion, the crowd swooned. The fans are having a postseason romance the way they haven't had since – well, maybe since their first love, Arturs Irbe.
That rocking house of teal has been waiting for years to envelope a player with intense, deafening playoff passion, but it's usually unrequited love. Owen Nolan, Thornton, Patrick Marleau – particularly Marleau – have never responded to the fans' adoring overtures with sufficient output.
Pavelski has. He's become a closely-shorn, ice-dwelling counterpart to Tim Lincecum - a young, homegrown guy who makes outlandish things seem possible."—Ann Killion

The Arundel Dual seat bag is the perfect compromise between the two extremes of seat bag design. It's bigger than a coin purse sized bag that barely has enough room for a road tube, yet it's smaller than the carry-all sized bag that holds a virtual bike repair shop.
The Dual is small enough to nestle under a seat without scraping against your thigh. It has enough capacity to hold two 700C tubes and two CO2 cartridges, plus an inflator. So, why two sets of spares? Because you never know what's up the road, and it's nice to know that you're prepared. That extra tube will make the rest of your ride that much more enjoyable knowing that you won't have to use your cell phone if another flat occurs.
The double stitched Velcro straps are simple, yet secure. When the Dual is fastened to the seat rails, the end of the strap is in just the right spot to avoid tearing up your expensive cycling shorts. The Velcro has a long enough contact patch to hold the bag securely. The straps hold the bag against the seat clamp mechanism with a leather patch at the interface that protects the nylon bag from wear and prevent holes.
Like the other reviewer, this bag solved two problems for me: (1) shorts rubbing against seat pack and wearing too fast and (2) seat pack strap around seat post causing marks. It fits just what it says -- two tubes, two CO2 cartridges, and an inflator. It stays in place -- does not swing around when out of the saddle. Even got mine with blue trim that matches my frame color. It's a great value.
Finally a seat bag that wont destroy my shorts! I had plenty of room for two regular (not lightweight) 700C tubes, two 16g CO2s, CO2 tool, 1 tire iron, a tire boot, and a five dollar bill! Fits securely between the rails of my saddle without a velcro band to wrap around and mark up my seatpost or ruin another pair of my bibs. Thanks for getting this right Arundel.

Only a phalanx of cross-dressing divas at a Junior Vasquez birthday party could match the drama in Frank Owen's Clublandand then, only if there weren't enough (or far too many) drugs for the clamoring queens. The book revisits the early-'90s heyday of superclub Limelight and its club kid cadre, then hangs ringside for the spectacular implosion of '96: Limelight owner Peter Gatien arrested on drug charges, and star party promoter Michael Alig imprisoned for the murder of infamous in-house dealer Angel Melendez. These are the headlines of tabloids past, pieced painstakingly together, all the names named; thanks to Owen's dogged reporting as events unfolded, the juiciest bits here will be old news to Voicereaders, where some of the material first appeared.
This isn't to dismiss Clubland as redundant. Owen connects the dots in the Byzantine tale of a dozen double-crossers, from New York's organized-crime families to South Beach's burgeoning celebrity nightclub scene. His detached, thorough work gives yin to Alig compadre James St. James's yang; the latter's Disco Bloodbath (1999) relates the murder of Angel from the shrill perspective of a club kid. Owen posts his readers as flies on the walls that matter, even when they may prefer otherwise; the description of Alig huffing smack and preparing to remove Angel's fetid legs with a kitchen knife is not for the faint of stomach.
Owen could have elevated his work's sociological import by moving beyond the specifics of what and getting at the gnawing question of why. Still, Clubland satisfies by meting out the justice that many '90s party kids never got to seeor perhaps never wanted to. Maybe in club land Alig was untouchable and never expressed remorse for killing Angel. But in Clublandthe pretty boy honks out a dirt snake in his trousers, writhing in withdrawal in the backseat of a DEA car. Later, in prison, he becomes a sex toy for a militant black man. How's that for fabulous? Clubland sees through the smoke, mirrors, and Ketamine; by the epilogue, Owen is disillusioned, but his angst makes for some pretty heady voyeurism.

i never thought this day would come. i used to be the girl who goes around and break hearts, never wearing my heart on my sleeve, the one with the brains and the looks to hurt many. but six years later,today, i'm registering for solemnisation. i wouldn't say i've changed much. i still loathe at the idea of belonging to one person, the responsibilities that come with it, i can't deal with romanticism well, i use my head instead of my heart at all costs.
why this has worked so well for me for the past six years was that he had NO expectations of me. It wasn't all fluffy kinda love, i was real and practical and unafraid to push my boundaries. I did not change my routine nor my group of friends.
i ventured and explored more, fought for independence, did not claim him to be my new best friend.
but i respected, considered his feelings and even started to love him more.
it's still funny how the girl who wore the 'don't trust guys' tshirt is the first to settle down.
We all need to learn a thing or two from them.
Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

Using data to understand the impact of pollution on PV output
Given a recent surge of interest in distributed solar over the past six months, Azure International has received several requests for analysis and data on how air pollution (with PM2.5 as a common proxy) affects PV performance. Two news articles this week have highlighted this important issue and provided varied speculative estimates of the relationship between air pollution and solar output. A short blurb in BJX reports (in Chinese) that when PM2.5 concentrations exceeded 600 in Beijing, PV output fell by 80% versus clear days—but the definition of clear in terms of PM2.5 is not given. A longer article (Cnfol.com, in Chinese) gives a similar 80% output drop for a system operating in Shanghai between two similar days in December 2013, one with clear weather and one with PM2.5 concentrations exceeding 600. The latter article also uses NASA data to compare solar radiation in Beijing in 2012 versus 2013, which was more polluted; solar radiation fell 10% between the two years.
There are many factors that can potentially affect the relationship between air pollution and PV performance. Cloud cover, moisture content, ambient air temperature and other climate conditions make such comparisons difficult. Nor is PM2.5 the only type of air pollution that would affect PV output. Cleaning schedules also matter. Making the analysis even more difficult is the difficulty in finding reliable PV performance data, especially since most distributed solar in China has such a short track record. Below, Azure utilizes a model we have developed in house to evaluate solar attractiveness by province, using PM2.5 levels as one of ten evaluation criteria.
China urban PM2.5 levels by province
Source: Azure International, based on 2013 city PM2.5 averages by province (MEP data)
Lohaus in Shanghai has been tracking the power output of a 1 kW rooftop system since early April 2014. Azure ran correlations on the daily output compared to PM2.5, cloud cover and humidity, but so far data are insufficient to draw firm conclusions. However, the system recorded fairly good output on several clear, low-humidity days when PM2.5 concentrations were in the range between 100 and 200.
In addition, Greenpeace has supplied Azure with data on its 5 kW Shunyi warehouse rooftop PV system's daily performance in December 2013 and January 2014. Fortunately, those two months showed very little cloud cover during daylight hours, consistent temperatures averaging near freezing, and fairly low relative humidity—reflecting Beijing's typically clear, dry winters. As with the Shanghai data, there are insufficient data to clarify the mathematical relationships between temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover, PM2.5 and PV output. However, Greenpeace's own analysis shows a clear drop in output due to PM2.5, and on one day of high pollution this year, the system produced no output at all, worse than even on a typical cloudy day. Azure's analysis shows that on days with PM2.5 concentrations above 100, the system's average output was half that of days when the PM2.5 concentration was under 50. Concentrations between 50 and 100 showed an average reduction of 20% versus concentrations above 100. (Stay tuned for Azure's full blog update on our visit to Greenpeace and quantitative analysis of Greenpeace data.)

Source: Azure International, using data from Greenpeace, U.S. State Department, and Weather Underground
Anecdotally, several sources have reported to Azure that severe air pollution reduces PV output by about 15% on an annual basis. Average annual PM2.5 concentrations in Hebei's major cities are around 100. Scaled linearly, and without controlling for any other factor, this implies a 14% reduction in PV output on an annual basis. Azure's earlier analysis of Beijing PM2.5 hourly data looked at PM2.5 patterns by time of day and season of the year, fitting a regression curve for these factors that proved highly significant. Happily for solar, summer and mid-afternoon are relatively less polluted compared to other times, though the biggest difference is actually in winter.

Taking only these factors into consideration, a simplified adjusted solar radiation curve by month would suggest a 12% impact of PM2.5 on an annual basis. This estimate is little more than a best guess approximation. Analysis of actual solar output over several years in a given location would be needed to form a rigorous estimate.

Boxwood's dense foliage, tolerance for trimming and maximum growth to 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide make them good choices for hedging, screens, topiary and marking off beds with parterres. If it's emerald color you're after, consider slow-growing 'Suffruticosa' English boxwood, shown here. Or, for variegated leaves, go with Elegans boxwood, which features small, white-margined evergreen leaves and tiny, star-shaped flowers.
Boxwoods prefers partial shade, but can tolerate full sun if they kept sufficiently moist. Well-drained soil is a must.

There is much confusion about sexuality in America. Especially amongst men and women who are partnered romantically. For example, many couples believe that all sexual encounters should blow their minds. This is a powerful thought, but not a realistic one.Read More

Kenmore Square Ideas - Great Bay?
Saturday night dinner in early June? We are staying at the Commonwealth Hotel and thought that Great Bay might be a good idea. We know nothing about it, though, as we are from out of town (NYC). We were thinking about gettting a private room (party of 12 with kids ranging from 3 to 5 to 10 to 12 to 16 to 18, lots of parents and a couple of grandparents too). Any thoughts about Great Bay would be appreciated - or other ideas around Kenmore Square (we do know that there will be a late afternoon Sox game that day but thought we should be OK since we would expect to start dinner on the early side while the game is going on)....
Great Bay is very nice, they're catering my wedding in Sept 09. It is very nice, and a little upscale for kids. Petite Robert is right down the block and is one of the best French bistros I've ever been to and the prices can't be beat.
Never been but have heard pretty good things about it. Planning on going during summer but that will be too late to report back to you. They do have a website that you can check out and it appears that they are very expensive for a seafood restaurant in Boston. Also in the Commonwealth Hotel is Eastern Standard which has received good reviews on this board; it usually is very crowded before the Red Sox but if you go after the game starts maybe it would not be too bad. My suspicion is that Great Bay will be far less crowded due to its high prices and the fact that Eastern Standard is more popular, more casual, and not as pricey. In addition, Great Bay is co-owned by Michael Schlow, who owns several very highly regarded restaurants in Boston.
I have been to Great Bay many times and always found it be very good although I don't think it would be a good choice for most younger children. They have a Ceviche/Sashimi counter in the middle of the restaurant that does some very nice dishes. You can order from the main menu or the small plates menu where you might find find things the children would enjoy. I also second the rec on Petit Robert but I don't think it would be a good spot for a large group.
I'd choose Eastern Standard over Great Bay as a single person, great food and atmosphere -- sit outside and watch the Sox fans while you enjoy steak frites and a great wine. They do have a private room which might be an option for you.
I like Great Bay quite a bit. We've gone after Sox games...most recently after the Opening Day game, and as long as you have a reservation its really not that crowded. As bakerboyz suggests, the postgame crowd seems to overwhelm Eastern Standard rather more. I like both places.
Personally, I've been to Petit Robert only once, and found the food not nearly as good as Eastern standard, and the service spotty too. Its a bit small for a party of 12...unless they have a private room (they might?).
Another option in the area might be Trattoria Toscana.
I always enjoy Great Bay - but it comes at a high price. Eastern Standard would get my overall vote for value/quality - and the cocktails are truly outstanding.
If you end up at Great Bay - the butterscotch pudding is a MUST, whether you like butterscotch and/or pudding or not! It's more of an incredible buttery, carmelized pot de creme...wow..I've made detours after dinner at other top spots just to have it for dessert.
re: teezeetoo
Went to both Eastern Standard and Great Bay last night - ES still continues to amaze at every level h- the Periodista and the fries were the big hits this time .
Sadly, Great Bay is now off our destination list since they've discontinued their one of a kind spectacular butterscotch pudding dessert and replaced it with a serviceable but not memorable chocolate pudding. It is still a nice space with professional service but at the high prices, it will be limited to corporate dinners when in the neighborhood for me.

YCS: There are varied sociological concerns featured in your subject matter, from population movement to modernisation – all symptoms of humanity attempting to control (or cope) with their environment. Can you isolate why this core theme is of interest to you? How challenging was the process of realising your main motivation?
AM: I haven't fully figured out my motivations for making work. That's part of the puzzle that I'm in the process of piecing together. Also, motivations develop and change shape over time. So at the moment I'm particularly interested in the invisible tensions and histories that reside in a landscape and the ability or inability of photography to explore something so un-visual. But that interest grew out of the work I was making in Ireland, it wasn't an initial motivator.
YCS: You use beauty and mixed image placement to explore complex subjects involving inherent chaos; I like this idea that you make chaos quite aesthetically appealing and visually simplified. How did this come to be your approach, and what is the theorisation or concept behind it?
AM: Your question brought up two issues for me:
1. I think instead of tackling chaos directly I'm more interested in what we can and can't control, and in what we think we can control in the world around us. This does involve an interest in chaos, but I wouldn't say I'm aiming to make chaos aesthetically appealing.
2. I'm not sure about the idea of 'visual simplification'. I don't think photographs are ever really that simple, and I tend to be more drawn to visual complexity. But I do want my work to be easy to connect with in an immediate way- I want to communicate clearly- and I suppose selecting images that do this is a reduction or distillation of sorts.
My visual approach always grows out of the subject matter, and out of the ideas I'm working with. In a way it's a conversation between these elements.
YCS: Do you have a single favourite picture from all that you have taken, and what determines its value for you? What first drew you to photography, and what led you to pursue it as a career practice?
AM: I don't have a single favorite picture. The way I feel about my work changes all the time. I tend to like my most recent work best, which I hope shows I'm progressing.
YCS: Making a living is always a challenging element of creative work - you've received a few grants; how has this type of funding been useful to you? Do you find there are a lot of financial options available, or have you had to take commercial work or non-photographic jobs? How do you balance earning with maintaining your practice?
AM: The grants I've received have been helpful financially and have really motivated me to keep going. But there aren't a lot of financial options available. I'm also a swimming teacher, so that's my main income, and I've been really enjoying doing some weddings recently. I figured if I'm going to put so much work into being a photographer I may as well make exactly the work I want to make and not be restricted by having to make money from it.
YCS: Your series' express an assured sophistication stemming from the images' quiet ease. Does this (conversely) take a lot of effort? By what process do you access subjects? Do you see them this way as you're working, or does the composition evolve from surrounding research or subsequent editing?
AM: Yes. I tend to spend a lot of time shooting spontaneously and a lot of time researching. If the work is about a specific place I spend a lot of time in that place. My ideas develop through this process but particularly through shooting. I balance this very open approach with a long process of editing but usually by the time I'm editing I've firmed up my ideas about what I'm aiming for. I experiment putting images together and seeing how it works. I tend to put them up on the wall for a long time. I've always been very intuitive about this but recently i'm trying to be more considered about the intricacies of juxtapositions. It varies a lot. As I do more work the projects take longer because they are more complex.
YCS: You've had some great early coverage and opportunities – sales with Troika, 1000 Words feature, and Jerwood. How did these opportunities come about? Are you a big promoter or regular submitter?
AM: I'm definitely a regular submitter. I'm getting a bit better at judging what it's worth submitting to. You can waste a lot of energy on applications otherwise.
The Jerwood Award was the best possible thing that could have happened in the year after graduating. Many other opportunities sprang from that. Troika have also been a fantastic support.
YCS: Which of the final platforms for your work interests you the most – wall display, book publications, or online – and why? How do you see this element evolving in the future?
AM: I guess the final output depends on what's best for each individual project. I'm working on a book for the first time now. I'm starting a project that will involve bringing lots of different elements together so I'll eventually have to find some clever way to do that. I guess it's also worth bearing in mind that most people are going to see my work online, even if I've designed it to be printed huge and hung on the wall.
YCS: You're currently studying for an MA in Photography at London College of Communication. What is it about a Post Graduate degree that makes it a useful step for you, and why did you select that institution? What do you intend for it to bring to your practice longer term? What further strategies do you use to develop your work?
AM: I think i'd just been working away for four years without questioning deeply what I was doing and why, and without an extensive awareness of where I fit in to current photography practice. It's good to be in a critical environment where you constantly have to explain yourself to other people. I probably didn't give the selection of the institution enough thought, I just thought their approach would suit me and the tutors were good and I wanted to be in London.
To develop my work I just do a lot of it. I tend to make progress while actually taking photographs. I also research a lot and make a lot of notes. I particularly find it useful to write down my thinking as I go along. I show my work to a lot of people. But mostly it's just about putting time aside to work and to think.

MSP - San Diego Fish Tacos?
- MSP Foodies Nov 18, 2007 06:56 PM
Having recently been to San Diego, I'm in love with their Fish Tacos. Any place in Minneapolis close to matching a San Diego Fish Taco? Thanks!
I'm not sure what makes a San Diego fish taco but I got the fish tacos at Birchwood last week and was pretty disappointed. The fish was dry and not very flavorful, although the fruit salsa they paired with it was nice. I've also had fish tacos at Sea Salt and at the Mexican seafood place in MGMkt (What is the name? This is the second time this week I've referred to them!) and they were quite good at both places.
re: katebauer
La Sirena Gorda in MGM. I have had their Mole Verde (I think it's all seafood at this place, but if it's not.. I had the one with fish). Absolutely wonderful.. but it's probably just the mole that was so outstanding =)
The Tin Fish on Lake Calhoun is actually an outpost of a San Diego joint. You might try there next summer.
Also, I remember that when Baja Tortilla (now Baja del Sol) opened, their literature bragged about the authenticity of their fish tacos.
I've not been to San Diego, so I can't compare either place to the real thing.
Masa has fish tacos, but I am not sure if they are "San Diego" style. It describes snapper, lettuce, pico, and guac with your choice of either flour or corn tortillas.
Stella's Fish Cafe has fried tilapia tacos on their menu.

re: septocaine_queen
To be honest with you, that doesn't sound like many fish tacos I've seen around here. Seems like each little shop focuses more on the sauce. Plus - haven't really heard of many *breaded* fish tacos except for at the fast-food style (take-out) Pepito's on 46th & Nicollet in Minneapolis. I don't know what kind of sauce they put on it, but you could always call & find out before making the drive. I ordered non-fish there, and it was okay.. not great.. but they do highly advertise their fish..
Pepitos Mexi-Go Deli
4624 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55419
re: reannd
Oh yes, I had a fish taco at the Pepito's at 48th and Chicago. It might have been on the specials boards so not a regular thing. I remember it being okay, not great.
re: septocaine_queen
That's pretty much the Tin Fish model. They serve both broiled and fried fish. The primary difference is that they use a flour tortilla, rather than a corn tortilla.
I have had the fish tacos at Baja del Sol and liked them quite a bit and there is another fast food place called Taco del Mar that has them and they are good. Authentic? I have no idea but tasty just the same.
i don't think that this food item, "san diego fish taco," has emigrated here yet, but everyone's recs for other types of fish tacos sound wonderful-- there is one stall at mercado central on lake street that sells lovely fish tacos, corn tortilla, green sauce rather than creamy sauce, that i was very fond of, can't remember the name!
Is there a difference between a San Diegan fish taco and a regular fish taco (fried fish, salsa, sour cream, cabbage)? If so, what is it? As noted, there are several places in town to get fish tacos (Chino, Tin Fish, Sea Salt, Baja X, Stella's, others) but I do not know how their composition compares to those used in San Diego.
re: g rote
Flying fish? You don't mean Sea Salt Eatery, do you?
Taco Del Mar, a West Coast chain, has apparently opened a location in Coon Rapids. I don't know about their menu here, but they had fish tacos on the menu out west.
I love fish tacos. I love almost any kind of fish tacos. I love what you call San Diego style, but it's really more all of California. But most of all, I like checking out all the different kinds of fish tacos that are possible, each with its charms.
One pleasant surprise was the salmon taco at Ike's. I've had them only at the airport, but I think they have the same menu downtown as well.
re: Loren3
I love fish tacos, too, though, honestly, there is definitely a difference between Northern CA and Southern CA style. In Northern CA, they are are more likely grilled, whereas in Southern CA they are more likely to be fried, which, I assume is what the OP is seeking.
I like the fish tacos at Sirena Gorda at MGMkt in Minneapolis, for instance, but I think those are closer to the Northern CA style.

It's a sign of the times.
Husch Blackwell, a Kansas City, Mo., law firm, has added an Unmanned Aircraft Systems area to its practice.
The firm will help commercial business users and manufacturers navigate the requirements for UAS and unmanned aerial vehicle use, it said.
It can assist clients in legal, privacy and regulatory issues, the firm said in a statement.
The team includes former fighter pilots, component and software developers and data analysts.
A growing number of businesses and government agencies are interested in the use of drones in a broad array of industries, such as energy, agriculture, film and real estate, it said.
"The technical applications of the UAS/UAV industry continue to outpace impending rulemaking regarding certification and operations requirements," David Agee, who helps lead the UAS group for the firm, said in a statement. "Because of this uncertain environment, operators need trusted counsel to navigate the complicated legal terrain."
Technology used in drones is rapidly evolving.
Commercial use allows for collection of data, mapping and surveillance of often remote and disparate environments at reduced operating costs when compared to other methods, it said.
Other applications include traffic monitoring, package delivery, atmospheric research, disaster relief and environmental compliance.

You're absolutely right, nova42, but that doesn't work across apps. Believe me: if Mac OS X did everything Witch does, I wouldn't have wasted my time creating it. :)

Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus (Monty Python's Flying Circus) consisted of two 45-minute Monty Python German television comedy specials produced by WDR for West German television. The two episodes were first broadcast in January and December 1972 and were shot entirely on film and mostly on location in Bavaria, with the first episode recorded in German and the second recorded in English and then dubbed into German.
While visiting the UK in the early 1970s, German entertainer and TV producer Alfred Biolek caught notice of the Pythons and, excited by their innovative and absurd sketches, he invited them to Germany in 1971 and 1972 to write two special German episodes of their Monty Python's Flying Circus show and to act in them. The result, Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus, was produced by Biolek in co-production with Westdeutscher Rundfunk. Eric Idle has described the conception of the specials as "The Germans came to us and said 'Look, we haven't got a sense of humour, but we understand you do. Can we use yours?'"[1] Meanwhile, Michael Palin noted that "All I know is that it reversed all one's prejudices. Python has done very, very well in Germany, and the movies do extremely well. [...] Whenever anyone says, you know, the Germans have no sense of humor, say no, hang on, hang on, they got Monty Python before a lot of other countries."[2]
The second episode was recorded in English due to issues with the German accents of some of the members; only John Cleese and Michael Palin delivered their lines in German well enough to be easily understood by native speakers. The other Python performers all had very thick accents (particularly Terry Jones), making them difficult to understand. In some cases the episode was broadcast with German subtitles.[3]
Some of the material was reworked from At Last the 1948 Show.
Footage from these specials was used to fill time between live stage performances, as seen in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Also, "Ten Seconds of Sex" from episode two was shown in Series 3, Episode 9, "Nude Organist", of the TV show.
Several new sketches were written specifically for this show, including "William Tell", "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Merchant of Venice" as performed by a herd of cows. Only "The Lumberjack Song" was translated from an existing BBC Monty Python episode.
List of episodes[edit]
- Episode 1 (produced in 1971 and originally broadcast on ARD TV on 3 January 1972 at 9 pm CET)
- An Introduction to Monty Python By Frau Newsreader Claudia Doren
- The Journey of The Olympic Flame
- Monty Python's Guide to Albrecht Dürer
- Anita Ekberg Sings Albrecht Dürer
- The Merchant of Venice as performed by a herd of cows
- Doctor Breeder
- Little Red Riding Hood
- Silly Olympics
- Stake Your Claim
- The Lumberjack Song with The Austrian Border Police
- The Bavarian Restaurant
Edited versions of the "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Silly Olympics" sketches were dubbed into English and included in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl; The Stake Your Claim sketch was included on the English language record Another Monty Python Record.
- Episode 2 (produced in 1972 and originally broadcast on ARD on 18 December 1972 at 9 pm CET)
- William Tell
- Euro Sex Maniacs
- The Sycophancy Show
- Mouse Reserve/Fish Park
- Chicken Mining

- Colin "Bomber" Harris vs Colin "Bomber" Harris
- The Philosophers' Football Match – Greeks vs Germans, Second Half
- 10 Seconds of Sex
- I Want A Hearing Aid
- The Tale of Happy Valley (The Princess with The Wooden Teeth)
An English-language version of the philosopher's football match was included in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. "The Tale of Happy Valley" turned up on the English language record Monty Python's Previous Record.
The first show received mixed reviews. Opinion surveys taken after the episode was broadcast revealed that 8% of the audience found the show to be very good, 15% found it to be very bad, and 43% found it to be good.[2]
Guerilla Films released both episodes on a single VHS tape in 1998, available in either PAL or NTSC format. The American A&E Network used this release as the basis of their DVD releases of the same material, with the first episode being included on Monty Python Live and the second episode included on The Life of Python. (This arrangement resulted in the second episode being omitted from A&E's otherwise-complete 16-DVD box set of Monty Python's Flying Circus.)
The Australian DVD company Rainbow Entertainment also released both episodes on one DVD.
The Swiss publisher Haffmans released a hardbound book containing the scripts of both episodes, with introductions and essays by the German producers, in 1998. This book has not been translated into English as of 2007.
Both episodes have been shown on the Paramount Comedy Channel in the UK and on PBS in the USA in 2007.
Lost sketches[edit]
Several behind-the-scenes photos from the specials' production were published in the group's autobiography,[3] some of which were from sketches cut from the specials:
- A version of the "Marriage Guidance Counsellor" sketch.
- A sketch involving a flute player (Graham Chapman) in front of a German sign.
- A version of the "Sir Edward Ross" sketch
- An alternate ending to the first special, in which two stage hands are carrying a giant sign that says ENDE off a huge field. Behind the sign is Terry Jones' singer character from the Albrecht Dürer sketch.

- Effects of Semantic and Syntactic Complexities and Aspectual Class on Past Tense Production (2003)
- This paper reports results from a series of experiments that investigated whether semantic and/or syntactic complexity influences young Dutch children's production of past tense forms. The constructions used in the three experiments were (i) simple sentences (the Simple Sentence Experiment), (ii) complex sentences with CP complements (the Complement Clause Experiment) and (iii) complex sentences with relative clauses (the Relative Clause Experiment). The stimuli involved both atelic and telic predicates. The goal of this paper is to address the following questions. Q1. Does semantic complexity regarding temporal anchoring influence the types of errors that children make in the experiments? For example, do children make certain types of errors when a past tense has to be anchored to the Utterance Time (UT), as compared to when it has to be anchored to the matrix topic time (TT)? Q2. Do different syntactic positions influence children's performance on past-tense production? Do children perform better in the Simple Sentence Experiment compared to complex sentences involving two finite clauses (the Complement Clause Experiment and the Relative Clause Experiment)? In complex sentence trials, do children perform differently when the CPs are complements vs. when the CPs are adjunct clauses? (Lebeaux 1990, 2000) Q3. Do Dutch children make more errors with certain types of predicate (such as atelic predicates)? Alternatively, do children produce a certain type of error with a certain type of predicates (such as producing a perfect aspect with punctual predicates)? Bronckart and Sinclair (1973), for example, found that until the age of 6, French children showed a tendency to use passé composé with perfective events and simple present with imperfective events; we will investigate whether or not the equivalent of this is observed in Dutch.
- The Dual Analysis of Adjuncts/Complements in Categorial Grammar (2000)
- The distinction between COMPLEMENTS and ADJUNCTS has a long tradition in grammatical theory, and it is also included in some way or other in most current formal linguistic theories. But it is a highly vexed distinction, for several reasons, one of which is that no diagnostic criteria have emerged that will reliably distinguish adjuncts from complements in all cases – too many examples seem to "fall into the crack" between the two categories, no matter how theorists wrestle with them. In this paper, I will argue that this empirical diagnostic "problem" is, in fact, precisely what we should expect to find in natural language, when a proper understanding of the adjunct/complement distinction is achieved: the key hypothesis is that a complete grammar should provide a DUAL ANALYSIS of every complement as an adjunct, and potentially, an analysis of any adjunct as a complement. What this means and why it is motivated by linguistic evidence will be discussed in detail.
- Position and Interpretation of Adjuncts : Abstract Process, Event and 'wieder' 'again' (2000)
- This paper deals with restitutive and repetitive 'wieder'. Proceeding from the assumption that adverbial adjuncts have base positions which reflect their semantic relations to the rest of the sentence, it is shown that repetitive 'wieder' belongs to the class of event adverbs minimally c-commanding the base positions of all arguments whereas restitutive 'wieder' has many properties in common with process adjuncts, minimally c-commanding the final verb.
- Syntactic Position and the Readings of 'Manner' Adverbs (2000)
- In this study, I investigate the positions and interpretations available to 'manner' adverbs in English. My central claim, contra Wyner (1994, 1998), is that an association does exist between 'manner' adverb positions and interpretations, which is best characterized in terms of Peterson's (1997) distinction between 'restrictive' and 'non-restrictive' modification. I also claim, however, that the association in question is not as general as commonly claimed; and, in particular, does not apply directly to 'manner' adverbs in 'fronted' and 'parenthetical' positions, which require special syntactic description.
- Proceedings of the workshop on Syntax of Predication, Nov 2-3, 2001, ZAS-Berlin (2001)
- This volume presents working versions of presentations heard at and selected for the Workshop on Syntax of Predication, held at ZAS, Berlin, on November 2-3, 2001 (except the editor's own paper). Predication is a many-faceted topic which involves both syntax and semantics and the interface between them. This is reflected in the papers of the volume.
- Topic Structures and Minimal Effort (2000)
- The complexity of human languages has always inspired research for some human faculty that makes language learning possible. The system that generates the complexity of human languages, ideally, is simple and effective. Recent developments of the generative grammatical theory explore deeper into the issue of simplicity or economy. The Minimalist Program developed in Chomsky (1991, 1993, 1995) tries to provide contents to such notions. What does it mean to be more economic or least effort? An important instantiation of such notions is the proposal that movement is the last resort assuming that movement is more costly than non-movement. Processes occur only because they are necessary. The definition of necessity generally is cast in morphological terms. Moreover, the notion of "economy" or "least effort" is deterministic of the appropriate derivations for sentences: a shorter derivation is better than a longer one. In this work, we show that the notion of "least effort," - do minimally if possible - is manifested not only in derivations but also in other aspects of the grammar. We take Chinese as an example and show that this language exhibits the properties manifesting some "least effort" guidelines in the area of movement and reconstruction, and in the projection of syntactic positions: when there is a choice, non-application of moyement/reconstruction and non-projection of a position are adopted. These phenomena essentially are attested in topic structures. The question arises as to why topic structures exhibit such minimal effort effects. We suggest that this is due to the fact that topic structures can be derived by movement or base-generation. When there are morpho-syntactic clues that reconstruction is necessary, the structure is a movement structure. Otherwise, the less costly non-movement structure is assumed. Moreover, because of the possibility of assuming a topic NP to be base-generated, bearing a predication (or aboutness) relation with the comment clause, the argument position which otherwise would be related to the topic (conveniently termed the trace position) is not projected when there is a choice of projecting or not projecting it.
- Prolific Domains and the Left periphery (2000)
- The left periphery has enjoyed extensive study over the past years, especially drawn against the framework of Rizzi (1997). It is argued that in this part of the clause, relations are licensed that have direct impact on discourse interpretation and information structure, such as topic, focus, clause type, and the like. I take this line of research up and argue in favour of a split CP on the basis of strictly left-peripheral phenomena across languages. But I also want to link the relation of articulated clause structure, syntactic derivations, and information structure. In particular, I outline the basics of a model of syntactic derivation that makes explicit reference to the interpretive interfaces in a cyclic, dynamic manner. I suggest a return to older stages of generative grammar, at least in spirit, by proposing that clausal derivation stretches over three important areas which I call prolific domains: the part of the clause which licenses argument/thematic relations (V- or θ-domain), the part that licenses agreement/grammatica1 relations (T- or ϕ-domain), and the part that licenses discourse/information-relevant relations (C- or ω-domain). It is thus a rather broad and conceptual notion of "adding" and "omitting" that I am concerned with here, namely licensing of material to relate to information structure, and the desire to find an answer to the question which elements might be added or omitted across languages to establish such links.
- "Natural Relations" : A Note on X'-structure (2001)
- With the rise of minimalism, many concepts related to the geometrical relations of phrase structure held fast to in earlier approaches have been reconsidered. This article deals with distinguishing (relational and technical) properties of specifiers and adjuncts in a Bare Phrase Structure framework (X'-Theory). I extend specific aspects of X-structure relevant to the discussion of specifiers vs. adjuncts. I argue that unique specifiers can be derived from the system and that adjunction, possibly multiple, results from Direct Merge only. The final product is a series of relationships in line with recent thoughts and minimalist premises, but formally more similar to earlier conceptions of the X'-schema. I address conceptual, empirical and theoretical arguments against multiple specifiers and related issues next, that is beyond the predictions immediately following from the tripartitional view of clause structure proposed in Grohmann (2000). After laying out my motivations to critically consider the issue, I present a set of data that casts serious doubt over the justifications offered to replace Agr with v as the accusative casemarker. Having conceptual and empirical back-up, I then tackle the theoretical validity of specifiers, and ways to distinguish unique specifiers from (multiple) adjuncts. I introduce a version of Bare Phrase Structure that does so, yet keeps the spirit of defining structural identification over relational rather than categorial properties.
- The Syntax of Slavic Predicate Case (2001)
- In this article I provide a syntactic framework for case patterns found in Slavic secondary predicates.
- The Syntactic Structure of Predicatives : Clues from the Omission of the Copula in Child English (2001)
- This paper explores the syntax of main clause predicatives from the perspective of trying to account for an asymmetry in copular constructions in certain languages. One of the languages in which we find such an asymmetry is child English (around age 2). Specifically, new results show that children acquiring English tend to use an overt (and inflected) copula in individual-level predicatives, but they tend to omit the copula in stage-level predicatives. The analysis adopted to account for this pattern draws on evidence from adult English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese that stage-level predicates are Aspectual (they contain AspP) while individual-level predicates are not (they involve only a lexical Small Clause predicate). Children's omission of the copula in structures with AspP is linked to the fact that at this stage of development, children fail to require finiteness in main clauses. In particular, Asp0 is temporally anchored in child English, thereby obviating the need for a finite (temporally anchored) Infl, i.e. an inflected copula.

It's not the sexiest topic to discuss and I will freely admit that 95% of this talk is way over my head and I consider myself a fairly intelligent guy. But this summer is shaping up to be pivotal for both the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville and their arena situations. Like I said, not a terribly sexy idea, but there should be a ton of drama on both sides here.
First, let's talk about UK and the Rupp Arena situation. This has dissolved into a bona fide mess and it seems that the university, the city, and the state are unable to get on the same wavelength about this project and as a result, it is affecting Lexington's convention business with the uncertainty. The latest development is that Lexington Center Chairman Brent Rice is giving UK's president Eli Capilouto until May 23 to publicly throw UK support behind the project.
Rice's letter, which was obtained by the Herald-Leader, says the uncertainty of the project's funding could drive up construction costs and adversely affect businesses dependent on the convention center.
Rice pushed Capilouto — whose support of the project has been lukewarm — to publicly support the project or the terms of the current lease will remain in place.
The letter gives Capilouto until May 23 (30 days) to respond. "The longer the uncertainty continues, the greater the loss," Rice wrote.
Rice said Thursday that he has not heard from Capilouto.
The city had asked for $80 million in state bond money for the project during the past legislative session, but the legislature ultimately decided not to fund the project, saying there were too many unanswered questions.
State legislative leaders said they also were confused on whether UK backed the project. Capilouto has frequently said that his focus is on improving the academic buildings on UK's campus.
On a sports related topic, it is pretty interesting that John Calipari has been very quiet on all of this as well. And you have to wonder if his "coaching LeBron" message was a not so subtle shot across the bow that people needed to get together and make this happen.
Meanwhile, it appears that there is a legal battle brewing over in Louisville concerning the Yum! Center. This report is about a week old, but apparently the Louisville Arena Authority is preparing for an emergency situation. There have long been rumors and buzz about shady behind the scenes happenings and the apparent sweetheart deal that UL got with the Yum! Center. And it could be blowing up soon.
What's interesting about it all? The contract wasn't put out for bid, leading many within the legal community and within state government to suggest that there could be semi-emergency status. And it's for regulations and bankruptcy.
Some believe the reason for the contract is because they believe the IRS and SEC (we can't confirm this) are in town poking around the Louisville Arena Authority and the University of Louisville Athletic Association. They believe that because neither Frost Brown Todd nor Stites & Harbison were included.
Should the arena or athletics be involved, there'd be potential conflicts of interest for Ed Glasscock and Eric Somer at FBT — Somer designed the arena contract for UofL while he was at Greenebaum but is not a partner at FBT. And Stites & Harbison because of Andy Beshear's partnership there and his role with the Arena Authority.
Once again, I am not an expert on the situation at Louisville, but it looks like whatever happens there could at least indirectly affect the Rupp situation. Or maybe not. Either way, it's going to be a long summer if the big stories are in the court rooms rather than the basketball courts.
One UK player that has been on the basketball court has been Dominique Hawkins. Hawkins is on a world tour with the Sports Reach program and has played a couple of games against a Lithuanian team. Our Sports Reach heroes have not fared well so far as they are off to a 0-2 start on the trip.
In the first game, Sports Reach fell 97-92 and gave up a whopping 16 three pointers. Hawkins scored 6 points on 3-7 shooting and went 0-4 from the FT line. He added 5 rebounds, 3 steals and had 3 assists versus 1 turnover.
Sports Reach blew a seven point lead and lost 88-82. Hawkins added 8 points on 4-9 shooting and missed both his FT attempts. He did grab 7 boards, 2 steals and dished out 2 assists. There are six more games on the trip to China so hopefully Dominique can find his FT shooting groove.

I don't know if the predator was an SCA member or not (I'd guess he was) but he spent a couple of years in the SCA, primarily doing Children's Activities and gaining everybody's trust. He eventually set up a non-SCA "Pages School" and started having meetings at his house. Overnight. With no other adults present. That's when the abuse happened. *Two*years*later* one of the mothers decided to sue the SCA, so now we're having to pay lawyers and do background checks. > Again, the waiver just doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's > printed on.

Uh-huh, and that's where we'd stay, because most sites wouldn't be willing to rent their space to some random group of weirdos swinging sticks. Having a corporation behind us, with its own liability insurance puts us into the category of "eccentric" rather than "weirdo." -Tivar Moondragon

Giggem Helps Musicians Find Bandmates, Managers and Labels
A musician for more than 20 years, Emir Turan of Turkey struggled in recent years to put together a band. He tried finding fellow musicians by searching on Craigslist, browsing social networks, sifting through classifieds and hanging fliers at bars. All the while, he thought a simpler way must exist for him to form a band. But there wasn't.

After weeks of research and contacting multiple shops and services, I was finally able to pull the trigger on a professional bike fit. My decision to work with Mike Sherry of Performance Labs HC was based on many important factors. Aside from years of experience as a coach and fitter specializing in biomechanics - the combination of his ability to perform the fitting in the comfort of your own home as well as be able to provide a follow up fitting consultation played a tremendous role in choosing Mike for the task at hand.
How was the experience you ask? Incredible. Mike's knowledge and ability to explain and elaborate on the reasons behind millimeter-sized adjustments made me comfortable and confident with any changes he was recommending. Oh yeah, he brought lasers over too.
After about an hour of tests and measurements - Mike made a few tweaks to my current setup. Fortunately, I wasn't positioned too terribly for it to be embarrassing, but he definitely made some adjustments that should benefit my efficiency and more importantly, avoid injury in the long run. The biggest changes made were with my saddle height and fore-aft position. Here's Mike's assessment of our fitting session:
The main reasons were for the forward adjustment is for better skeletal leverage on the downstroke and to protect the connective tissue below your kneecap. The saddle came down a little a well so you can feel the bottom of the pedal stroke a little better, and again , for protection on connective tissue; this time the ITB (iliotibial band). Sometimes a high saddle can either pull on connective tissue and cause pain and inflammation like Achilles tendinitis or cause friction over bones. This can quickly cause IT Band syndrome and since most people pedal at ~85-95 RPM, that friction can add up quickly. Most tendon related injuries are both painful and slow to heal so you want to avoid them before they ever start.
The verdict? Only time will tell. Mike encouraged me to hit the road a few times so I can provide feedback on the new measurements. It might be a while before I can tell if my fitting investment was worth it, but if the end results are as rewarding as the experience I had with Mike, then I would definitely do it all over again. Stay tuned.

ECCC '14: Dredd 2 Is Next On Alex Garland's Books
Cursed Earth(Mean Machine maaaaaaayyyyyybeeeeee????) AND the Dark Judges. OHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASE!!!!!!!!!!As for a timeline, Urban said that it will be the next film on Garland's books, once he has completed work on Ex-Machina (his directorial debut). He has a trilogy planned in his head, and it is likely that the next film will be set in the Cursed Earth. Urban is excited about that prospect, and was really impressed with the fan trailer for a Crused Earth Dredd movie that he saw.
Another audience member wanted to know whether the Dark Judges would make an appearance. Jock reported that they were supposed to be a feature of the first film, but they didn't work — it would have been too much to establish that many characters within its scope. He said it would have to be done for the second film, as they are the go-to characters for expanding Dredd's world.
