Prostate Cancer Screening (PDQ®): Screening - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Evidence of Benefit
Summary of First Four Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Screening Roundsa continued...
In the screening group, 82% of men accepted at least one offer of screening. With 14 years of data, and a median follow-up of 9 years, there were 5,990 prostate cancers diagnosed in the screening group and 4,307 in the control group, corresponding to a cumulative incidence of 8.2% and 4.8%, respectively. There were 214 prostate-cancer deaths in the screening group and 326 prostate cancer deaths in the control group in the core age group. The unadjusted rate ratio for death from prostate cancer in the screening group was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.67–0.95); after adjustment for sequential testing with alpha spending due to two previous interim analyses (based on Poisson regression analysis), the rate ratio was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.65–0.98). The rates of death in the two study groups began to diverge after 7 to 8 years and continued to diverge further over time.
The absolute difference between the screening and control groups was 0.71 prostate-cancer deaths per 1,000 men. Thus, in order to prevent one prostate-cancer death, the number of men who would need to be screened would be 1,410. The additional prostate cancers diagnosed by screening resulted in an increase in cumulative incidence of 34 per 1,000 men, so that 48 additional subjects would need to be treated to prevent one death from prostate cancer. Thus, PSA-based screening reduced the rate of death from prostate cancer by 20% but was associated with a high risk of overdiagnosis.[50]
Important information that was not reported includes the contamination rate in the control group, and the treatment administered to the prostate cancer cases by stage and by randomly assigned group. Incompleteness of data is also a concern because it appears that several of the participating countries have not yet provided data beyond the 10-year point at which the major effect appears to occur. Longer follow-up will be needed to determine the final results of this trial.
While the ERSPC demonstrated a 29% relative reduction in mortality from prostate cancer among men who were screened at 4-year intervals, there were associated harms from overdiagnosis and long-term treatment effects. Microsimulation Screening Analysis (MISCAN) was used to estimate the quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) associated with annual PSA screening,[51] based on results from the ERSPC trial. Health states considered in the analysis of QALYs included biopsy, cancer diagnosis, radiation therapy, radical prostatectomy, active surveillance, postrecovery period, palliative therapy and terminal illness. Adverse effects considered included overdiagnosis and various degrees of incontinence and erectile dysfunction. The model predicted that annual screening of 1,000 men aged 55 to 69 years would lead to nine fewer deaths from prostate cancer (98 men screened to prevent one prostate cancer death). Overall, 73 life-years would be gained, but QALYs gained was only 56 life-years on average with a range of -21 to 97 life-years. Screening men aged 55 to 74 years increased life-years gained but resulted in the same number of QALYs on average (56 life-years).[51]

Olympi-shambles of the Day: Shin v Heidemann
South Korea's Shin A-Lam was defeated by Germany's Britta Heidemann in the semi-final of the Women's Individual Epee competition after a clock malfunction added an extra second to the match, allowing Heidemann the chance to score the decisive hit in her 6-5 victory.
A crying Shin was then forced to wait on the piste as her team attempted to lodge an appeal; after half an hour she was led away by officials, only to be brought back minutes later to compete in the bronze medal match against China's Sun Yujie.
Unsurprisingly, Shin lost.
"Those victims who were slaughtered are people that I knew well. These children I knew well, personally. I ate with their families. I had social ties with them. The regime cannot lie about these people, who they were and what they did to them. It was a brutal act by the regime against people who were with the revolution."

It's always frustrating when your team can't score, but fans of German football team 1. FC Magdeburg resisted the urge to chant obscenities and decided instead to take a more constructive approach to their team's five-match goal drought.
While fans in one stand carried a banner reading "We'll show you where the goal is!", another set of spectators held up neon arrows pointing at the goal.
The unorthodox tactic may be adopted by other goal-starved supporters, as it worked - Magdeburg did score, although they eventually lost the match 2-1.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Craig Stevens IR
Wed Oct 15, 2014 2:51 pm Titans TE Craig Stevens is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing quad surgery Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens had a tendon issue in his quad. The blocking tight end played just 70 offensive snaps this season, catching two passes for 26 yards. He'll be released in the offseason thanks to an asinine $3.25 million salary.
Source: Terry McCormick on Twitter
Tue Apr 8, 2014 12:49 pm Titans TE Craig Stevens has agreed to a pay cut, reducing his 2014 salary from $3.4 million to $1.6 million.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens had two years left on his previous deal at salaries of $3.4 million and $3.5 million. His new deal is a two-year, $5.2 million pact. Stevens, 29, is purely a blocker who caught just two passes for five yards last season.
Source: OverTheCap.com
Thu Dec 5, 2013 6:51 pm Reserve Titans TE Craig Stevens (concussion) resumed practicing on Thursday, getting in a limited session.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens is now on track for Sunday's game against the Broncos. A blocker, Stevens has just two catches in 11 games this season.
Wed Dec 26, 2012 8:19 am Craig Stevens sustained a concussion late in last week's loss to the Packers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens filled in for Jared Cook (shoulder), catching two passes for 16 yards before going down. Raw rookie Taylor Thompson is next up on the depth chart. Stevens' season is likely over with career-highs in catches (23) and yards (275).
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Tue Dec 18, 2012 12:51 am Craig Stevens, starting in place of the injured Jared Cook, caught two passes for 16 yards against the Jets in Week 15.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens got the start, as expected, over the athletic rookie Taylor Thompson, but he saw just three targets. Stevens was used mainly for his blocking prowess, and he isn't anywhere near being fantasy relevant.
Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:44 am Craig Stevens caught five passes for 63 yards in relief of Jared Cook (shoulder) Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens played 25 total snaps in the first two games of the season, but was called upon for 49 snaps against the Lions. The usual blocking specialist will be a desperation flier if Cook misses time.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:00 pm Titans re-signed TE Craig Stevens to a four-year, $15 million contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The blocking complement to Jared Cook, Stevens hauled in nine passes for 166 yards and a touchdown in 2011, starting 11 of his 15 appearances. Set to turn 28 before the 2012 season, Stevens did not grade out well as a blocker according to Pro Football Focus, but the Titans apparently like his potential. Stevens' re-signing may end aging third-stringer Daniel Graham's tenure in Nashville.
Source: Jim Wyatt on Twitter
Mon Jan 9, 2012 3:10 pm The Titans intend to sign free agent TE Craig Stevens to a long-term extension "well" before free agency opens in March.
Fantasy Source Spin: Despite his passing-game shortcomings, the Titans envision Stevens as an integral part of their offense as a run blocker and complement to catch-first TE Jared Cook. Stevens has only 20 receptions over the past two seasons.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:56 am Titans declared TE Craig Stevens, OT Byron Stingily, LB Colin McCarthy, DT Zach Clayton, DE William Hayes, QB Rusty Smith, and SS Chris Hope inactive for Week 8 against the Colts.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens can't get over the hump with his troublesome rib injury. The Titans have no other surprises in their inactives.
Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:31 pm TE Craig Stevens (rib) expects to return following the Titans' Week 6 bye.
Fantasy Source Spin: The blocking tight end nearly gave it a go in Week 5, so he should be good for Week 7. Through four games, he's made four catches for 73 yards.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:34 am Titans TE Craig Stevens (rib) started Sunday's loss to the Steelers but saw very limited action.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I tried to give it a shot and it was just a little too painful," Stevens said. The blocking tight end has four catches through five games.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Tue Oct 4, 2011 9:58 am Titans TE Craig Stevens (rib) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens suffered cartilage damage in the win over the Browns. "The cartilage is painful - he doesn't want to laugh a lot, which he doesn't anyway," coach Mike Munchak said. Stevens is a blocker, allowing Jared Cook to play his "move" tight end role.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Sun Oct 2, 2011 3:08 pm Titans TE Craig Stevens left Sunday's game with a rib injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: The blocking specialist suffered the injury in the first half, and he's not been back in the third quarter. He did have a 12-yard touchdown before the injury forced him from the game.
Mon Nov 22, 2010 8:23 pm Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said that TE Craig Stevens (knee surgery) could return in Week 12 against Houston.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens has been a valuable run blocker this season and will be counted on even more given the team's quarterback situation.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Fri Nov 19, 2010 11:20 am Titans TE Craig Stevens underwent arthroscopic surgery this week to repair meniscus damage in his knee.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stevens suffered the knee injury last week, and he's expected to be sidelined "a few weeks." Though Stevens has been a blocking specialist this season, receiving specialist Jared Cook is expected to see increased snaps. The Titans may have to lean on Bo Scaife as more of a blocker now.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Sun Feb 14, 2010 10:59 am Beat writer Jim Wyatt expects TE Craig Stevens to have a bigger role in 2010.
Fantasy Source Spin: Both Alge Crumpler and Bo Scaife have uncertain futures in Tennessee, opening up some potential snaps. Stevens, however, is a blocking tight end and won't have a fantasy impact.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Sun Apr 27, 2008 11:08 am Titans selected California TE Craig Stevens with the No. 85 pick.
Fantasy Source Spin: Tennessee loves their blocking tight ends. He's a decent receiver, but Stevens is a complete tight end that is unlikely to ever post huge offensive numbers. For now, he'll be a third-stringer at best.

text: Good Morning; so I'm leveling a DK tank and have been tanking a ton of random dungeons as both Frost and Blood. I took a small break from tanking from 68-70 just to get some of the Northrend gear. Before Northrend I was tanking just fine, with no problems whatsover in both specs. Last night I tanked my first Wrath dungeon Utgarde Keep and arose what seemed to be a problem. I was SQUISHY!! A couple of times my health dropped so fast I had to use a health pot, I constantly tried to keep unbreakable armor and icebound fortitude up and anything else I could do to make myself less squishy but I still seemed very squishy. Here is my armory http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Lightbringer&cn=Historian I'm not sure what exactly was wrong and any advice would be greatly appreciated. I understand already that I don't have a ton of defense or avoidance stats; could that be the problem already at this low level? Thanks in advance.

David Lee Roth Explains Why He Never Got Married
Once again, David Lee Roth has everyone where he wants them: talking about him!
Once again, David Lee Roth has everyone where he wants them: talking about him!
Eddie Van Halen gives an update on his health, while David Lee Roth shows off his command of the Japanese language, in a video greeting for Van Halen fans posted by Tokyo-based concert promoter UDO.
Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony says he was flattered by comments his former bandmate David Lee Roth made about wanting him back in the famous group recently. As he jokingly noted, "He never used to talk like that when we were all playing together."
Flamboyant Van Halen front man David Lee Roth has a longstanding reputation as a ladies' man, but in a new interview he reveals that he's currently in a serious relationship -- though he stops short of saying he's going to settle down behind a white picket fence.
Alex Van Halen says he and his brother Eddie's long-awaited reunion with original Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth produced instant sparks. In fact, after recording five studio albums without Roth, Alex said 2012's 'A Different Kind of Truth' boasted the atmosphere of an emotional homecoming.
David Lee Roth doesn't mince words when it comes to what's kept Van Halen from playing Australia in recent years. The group announced they'll play the Stone Festival in Sydney this April. Roth suggests they'd tour the world regularly if it were up to him.
There's once again drama in the world of Van Halen, with singer David Lee Roth complaining about a recent lack of activity and communication within the band, and openly calling for a reunion with original bassist Michael Anthony.
With Van Halen off the road and out of the studio, David Lee Roth has a lot more free time on his hands lately -- and as a result, he's much more likely to treat his website visitors to things like the new 'Super Floor Whitenoize Remix' of Van Halen's 'Jump.'
There's no doubt that while David Lee Roth plays for one of the hardest rocking bands ever in Van Halen, he's got the showmanship of the old soul greats.
No matter what you've heard, the guys in Van Halen are getting along just fine, thankyouverymuch, and only postponed some concert dates because they "bit off more than they could chew."
That's the skinny straight from VH frontman David Lee Roth, who recorded a video to explain the recent events — in his own words.
In the bizarre world of David Lee Roth, apparently there's nothing wrong with trashing hotel rooms — or trashing Sammy Hagar in print prior to their joint 2002 tour.
But throwing trash onstage during a Van Halen show? That's a no-no in the eyes of singer Diamond Dave, who recently singled out a fan for tossing rubbish in Roth's direction at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg.
Sometimes only David Lee Roth can properly express how you feel. Sometimes a set of circumstances are so complex that it takes a wordsmith like Roth to properly convey your sentiment. Sometimes you just have money to blow and you love Van Halen.
If any of this rings true, then you need the David Lee Roth Scream Box.

Static in front audio, only when windows is running?
I built my first computer, and for the first time and this is the first time that I have had a bottom mounted power supply.
Now, I've tried three different front audio headers; the first one came with the case. When everything was in the case, there was a high amount of static on the headphone jack. I also tried the first one, but taking the audio port far away from the rest of the machine, and there was no static
Second one I tried was a replacement for the first one. I did not try it outside of the case, but when inside, there was static.
The third one I tried was my old front panel. I tried it outside of the case, and there was no static.
At this point I thought it was EMI, so I wired the audio cable as far away from everything else as possible, but there is still static.
Someone reccomended I put some "ferrite toroids" around the audio cable.. But I do not have any of these, nor do I know where to get them. the link they sent me to suggested taking them out of an old power supply...
Is there anything I can put along the wire to insulate it from EMI? I'm thinking a small bit of foil or something..

See Light #193
How often do you put your interest first? Most people do because it's a human instinct. Most people also still reject God's right way of living. Ignoring God's direction will lead to confusion and destruction. If you haven't submitted to God you will end up doing whatever seems right at the time. Therefore, to know what is really right and to have the strength to do it we need to draw closer to God and his Word.
Guess what? God also has your best interest as it relates to your diet. Think about all the fruits and vegetables in this world that he's given to us. But look what society is doing to our diets. Companies are making all modifications of his precious gifts given to us on earth (anything in a box, all the pesticides on our fruits and vegetables etc). If you eat fresh fruits and vegetables just as he has provided for us we will also be living the right way. Think About It!"

With the 6502, the big lmitation to me was the very small fixed stack (with no overlow-underflow traps) and the heavy reliance on "direct" low memory cells. No 16 bit operations per se and almost everything you do affects the condition codes. You tend to think about everything in terms of 8 bits, even computing addresses. Things that involve more than byte quantities tend to get very wordy--for example, try writing a subroutine to move an arbitrary number (up to 65K) bytes and compare it with the same in Z80 or even 8080 code. To me, the 6502 has more of a microcontroller instruction set than the 8080/Z80. Cheers, Chuck

Former ace interrogator lands top RCMP job
Bill Fordy set to replace retiring Fraser MacRae
Kim Bolan, Vancouver SunPublished: Tuesday, May 29, 2012
He has interrogated some of B.C.'s most notorious criminals, including serial killers Robert Pickton and Charles Kembo.
Now RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy is poised to take over as the head of the Surrey RCMP - Canada's largest RCMP detachment - when Asst. Commissioner Fraser MacRae retires Friday.
While the formal announcement is yet to be made, Fordy's name has been circulating for days as the successful candidate for the top Surrey job.
Supt. Bill Fordy has interrogated some of B.C.'s most notorious criminals.
Glenn Baglo, PNG Files
And Surrey City Council ratified the decision Monday.
Fordy did not respond to an interview request.
Nor would Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts comment on the news.
But several police and community sources confirmed that Fordy, 47, has been notified of his promotion into one of the RCMP's most-coveted policing jobs in Canada.
Fordy has been a Mountie since abandoning his dreams of playing professional hockey.
He was a ninth round draft pick for the Hartford Whalers back in 1983 when he was 18. The left-winger never played an NHL game, but had a successful college career in Ontario.
He found his true calling when he joined the RCMP.
Fordy built a reputation as a skilled interrogator of suspects in highprofile murder cases.
He used his background as a hockey player when he was part of the interview team that got a confession from Pickton in the murder of women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Fordy told Pickton that his NHL career was dashed due to injuries.
"I was drafted to go to try out for the Hartford Whalers in the NHL and then I broke my shoulder. And as a result of that I ah, broke my hand twice, my arm, my cheek bone, I ended up playing in the minors, Rob," he said to Pickton on Feb. 22, 2002.
"And I look back on my life and that's probably the worst thing that ever happened to me. What's the worst thing that ever happened to you Rob?" Besides the successful Pickton murder case, Fordy worked on the case of child killer Shane Ertmoed, who confessed to killing 10-year-old Heather Thomas.
He got a confession from Lance Dove, who murdered Kimberly Ann Tracey after a night of drinking.
He pushed wife-killer Mukhtiar Panghali to admit his role in killing wife Manjit in 2006.
"I'm not playing games," Fordy said as he told Panghali a body had been found in Delta that might be his missing wife. "You hope that it's not the worst-case scenario but, to be honest, it may be the worst case," Fordy said.
Defence lawyers would often complain in court about Fordy's ability to elicit confessions.
In recent years, Fordy was a leader of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, before assuming a senior role in the Surrey RCMP as Investigative Services Officer, in charge of all major crime.
The Surrey RCMP has 661 Mounties and 275 support staff, making it about twice as large as any other detachment in Canada. It is the second largest municipal police force in B.C., behind the Vancouver police department.
Asst. Commissioner Fraser MacRae, who has been the officer in charge of Surrey for eight years, is retiring June 1.
Surrey's new chief will take over just as the city experiences its lowest crime rates in the past 11 years.

Poor customer service,they were clearly unconcerned with customer satisfaction.The room was very noisey.The Hotel needs major overhall.
Liked the atmosphere, it was well decorated in the common areas, had many different places to eat at different budgets and tastes. The dolphins were great.
We went on the weekend so it was too hard to get anything, all over crowded. Couldn't get a drink at a bar. Service was stretched and fairly poor. The pool was a joke, could not get into it and it was hot weather. This was really a disappointment, pointless staying at a hotel with a pool if you cant use the pool because its too crowded. Everyone doing hand to hand combat to get a lounge and staff no help. Really a case of too many rooms and under catered for in the hotel amenities.

Check-in and out was long. Casino was OK. There was vomit everywhere. Outside - Inside - elevator banks...I know the hotel didn't place it there but they should have better security to police the intoxication of their guests.

Play amongst the high-rollers in Las Vegas
Situated in the Mojave Desert, Nevada, Las Vegas rises like a strange desert flower among the elevated peaks, rocky landscape and arid zones that surround it. While primarily known for its gambling, shopping, fine dining and nightlife, there's something in this city for every curious tourist. With no shortage of theme parks, museums, national parks and other attractions unique to this dazzling city, it's no surprise that this 24 hour resort town is one of the top tourist destinations worldwide and bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World.
The phrase "Only in Vegas" exists for a reason. In Las Vegas city high-rollers mingle with budget conscious tourists, soon-to-be newlyweds, conference goers and a gamut of other curious travellers. There are activities you will only find in Vegas and activities you wish you didn't stumble upon. The "Sin City" nickname is no coincidence, but in contrast to the gambling venues and nightlife, Las Vegas also boasts an impressive selection of museums, exhibits, concerts, outdoor pursuits and more.
Gambling, fine dining, nightlife and a dash of culture
It wouldn't be a true Las Vegas experience without placing a bet at one of the world famous casinos. Caesars Palace is perhaps the most iconic and is hard to beat for atmosphere. Downtown, the Golden Nugget is an excellent choice, while Casino Royale is perfect for a cheap spin on the roulette wheel. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the nightlife and visit the Neon Museum, where old signs are given a new life, or the Atomic Testing Museum for a chilling insight into the Nevada Test Site. The Mob Museum provides a fascinating look at the involvement of the mob in the rise of Las Vegas.
Stroll The Strip to scope out the world-class dining options available and stop to gaze in wonder at the Bellagio's famous dancing fountain show. Shooting water over 100m into the air at regular intervals from 3pm until midnight, this water rocket spectacle is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Tourists are also enamoured by the erupting volcano at the Mirage, the animated statues at Caesars Palace and the city's own Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas hotel. Another over-the-top yet somehow delightful tourist attraction is the New York-New York roller coaster which runs right through New York-New York hotel, bringing with it a little taste of Disneyland. And of course, if you are that way inclined, you can always get married at one of the many Vegas wedding chapels.
The daylight hours in Las Vegas bring with them a whole different side of the city and its surrounds. Try jumping from the 350m Stratosphere Tower in a controlled free fall and conquer your fear of heights. Energetic travellers might enjoy a hike through the valley of fire, with its bizarre rock formations and Hollywood Western scenery. A kayaking day trip along the Colorado River is the perfect way to see Hoover Dam from a new perspective. If water sports aren't your thing, a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon may be more your style. Just 30 minutes West of The Strip, lies the Red Canyon, a natural wonderland of sandstone bluffs, seasonal waterfalls and walking and cycling trails.
Where to stay in the city that never sleeps
The Strip, technically known as Las Vegas Boulevard, is the major thoroughfare through the city and is lined both sides with shopping malls, theatres, casinos and restaurants. Fancy and gaudy hotels are in abundance here and provide a true Vegas experience. Just to the East and West of The Strip you can find less expensive accommodation while losing none of the convenience. A little further to the West, where the real inhabitants of Las Vegas live, a range of excellent hotels are scattered among the regular supermarkets and everyday amenities. North of The Strip in Downtown Las Vegas is the perfect location to stay for proximity to the Arts District, the Neon Museum and the older hotels and Casinos of Fremont Street. Racing enthusiasts might prefer to book a hotel in North Las Vegas, the home of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and host of NASCAR and other drag races.

Band of the Week: Driver Friendly
This is probably my favorite video from Driver Friendly. The song is great, and the reenactments of all the Tom Hanks movies are fun.
This is one of my favorite songs from Driver Friendly and I love the way there are so many frames; there's always a lot going on in this video.
I love this lyric video, which makes all the words out of Legos. I asked singer Tyler Welsh about this video and he said the band made it themselves and it took about 14 hours!
Driver Friendly hails from the great state of Texas, where i grew up. They released an EP this summer and did part of the Vans Warped Tour. I got to talk to lead vocalist Tyler Welsh to ask some questions about their busy summer and what's up next.
You guys just finished your Warped Tour run. Can you tell us a little bit about that experience?
Warped Tour was one of the craziest things we've ever done as a band. They call it "bootcamp for bands" and they're totally right about that. We did not expect to work as hard, sleep as little, or have as much fun as we did. But it was totally worth it, and we're proud of what we did while we were out there!
What were your favorite bands that played Warped Tour with you, to listen to or hang out with?
Our favorite band and the coolest dudes we met this summer was definitely The Wonder Years. They are our labelmates, but beyond that they are just some of the nicest, most generous people that we have ever met in this industry. But beyond them we met so many cool people from bands like Echosmith, Motion City Soundtrack, The Early November, Relient K, Handguns, For the Foxes, the list goes on and on. For the most part everyone is super nice and friendly.
You released "Peaks + Valleys" a couple months ago. How has the response been to this EP? Is there a full length album in the works anytime soon?
The response has been rad, we've already sold more copies of it than anything else we've ever put out and the fans we've met seem to really dig it. There is a full length in the works; we have an album's worth of material we are finishing up and hope to be recording soon.
Most bands have four or five members but you guys have seven. What's that dynamic like? Is it ever hard to get along with that many people with different personalities?
Honestly, for us, seven members seems completely normal since we've been together since we were 16. In fact it feels weird if we're all together and one member isn't around. Of course during a tour or practice personalities will clash, but we're family, it's not a big deal.
You've got some fun lyric videos for "Run," "Let The Sun Come Up," and "I Can See Canyons." Whose hands are those moving all the cutout letters or putting together the Legos? How long did those take to make?
Those are our hands, we made all those videos ourselves! The "Canyons" video took about 14 hours by itself, and altogether we spent about 24 man hours making them.
You grew up in Houston and relocated to Austin. How is the music scene different there? In a city famous for live music, is there a lot of competition?
We were in Houston for about two years during our high school years so the scene there was really close knit and very talented for the ages of everyone playing back then. We've now be in Austin for almost a decade, and its different. If there is a "scene" here we're definitely not a part of it, and it is extremely competitive. We've been able to carve out our own little space in this market and are happy with the friends and fans we have here.
What's the best part of being in a band? What's the worst part?
The best part of being in a band is creating something that forms connections with strangers all over the world. Going to a city you've never been to in your life and having people sing back your words is extremely surreal and never gets old. The worst part is the business side of it: money, debt, being poor, ha ha ha.
What bands would you say are your biggest influences?
In no particular order, a few of the big ones would be: Taking Back Sunday, Saves The Day, Motion City Soundtrack, Brand New, The Anniversary.
If you weren't in a band, what would you be doing?
Well most of us have careers outside of the band, so for example I'm currently an instructor and PhD student at the University of Texas, so I'd probably just keep doing that.
It sounds like you guys have had a busy summer. What are your plans as a band for the rest of the year?
We have plans to tour, tour, and tour some more. Also, find a producer and prepare to hit the studio to record a full length! And also to have a very merry Christmas.

Band of the Week: New Politics
This is the video for "Yeah Yeah Yeah" from New Politics' self-titled album. Check out their tour dates here and make sure to catch them live if you can. It's well worth it.
As I've mentioned before, New Politics puts on a great live show, not only because of their music but because of the onstage antics of frontman David Boyd. Here's a video I took of some of his dancing last Saturday when they opened for Fall Out Boy in Salt Lake City, UT. I apologize for the speaker and the security guard that slightly obscure the view, but i think you can get a pretty good idea.
Check out this video for New Politics' song "Dignity." It's one of my favorites and possesses the same energy as the rest of their songs that makes this band so fun to watch.
Check out the video for the song "Harlem" by New Politics. You even get to see a little bit of the breakdancing and acrobatics that singer David Boyd has become known for doing on stage.
New Politics really puts on a great live show. Here's frontman David Boyd as he steps out onto the crowd and sings while fans hold him up by his feet.
Band Of The Week: New Politics
We caught up with New Politics a few weeks ago, right before their show with Fall Out Boy on May 31, 2013! You can listen to them talk about everything from late night songwriting to Twilight, and check out some insane dance moves.Unfortunately, there was a lot of sound checking going on in the background, so we added subtitles throughout. Hope you enjoy!
Be sure you stick around the rest of the week for photos, videos, and songs by the band!

Wasn't impressedPosted Sep 8, 2014
Pros: It is close to Richmond Mall.
Cons: Customer service could be a lot better. It was almost like I was bothering staff if I asked them a question.
Location: Lots of restaurants, shopping and Steveston Waterfront.
Staff weren't very helpful, at the front counter, restaurant or bar. The pool was closed and no one mentioned that when I booked the room which was unfortunate because the weather was fantastic and that was the main reason I chose that hotel.

Good value for your moneyPosted Aug 12, 2014
Pros: Location. It's right on downtown Richmond!
Cons: The parking. Someone needs to tell us there is a parking tax on top of the parking fees
Location: Downtown Richmond. The train is around the block so if you need to go to Van or get back to the ferries, this is a perfect place to stay!
We selected this hotel using the unpublished hotels option and it was quite a good deal! The pool is too shallow and small but it's outdoors!

Short breakPosted May 15, 2014
Pros: Everything. There was nothing we did not like.
Cons: We felt the breakfast buffet food could have been hotter.
Location: Perfect for quick SkyTrain access to Downtown Vancouver. No experience of what to do near by.
This Marriott is very well situated for easy access from the YVR airport using the hotel shuttle. But even better is its proximity to Translink bus stops. This allowed quick and very cheap trips to downtown Vancouver, even for my wife who has mobility issues. The Richmond-Brighouse station is only a five minute walk away. Across the street is the Richmond Centre Mall. While not the best mall I have visited, nevertheless it can satisfy most needs. Hotel staff were friendly and keen to please.

Since we did not want to rent a car, we found the Vancouver Airport Marriott to be very convenient to the airport, restaurants, and shopping. The hotel staff (especially the front desk staff) were very friendly and accommodating. Free airport shuttle was a plus.

Economic Chaos Descends Over Europe
Any thought that the EU will be able to pull itself out the economic hole it has created should be put to one side. The symptoms of total chaos are now starkly apparent, as no one has any idea whose responsibility it is to deal with the mess. If it wasn't so serious, it would be comic.
The world will soon see that Europe is headed for the abyss and no one anywhere will be in any position to stop it. Read the report from Open Europe today, quoted in full below.
Deutsche Bank Chief Economist: Europe is "in denial" on economic crisis
The IHT reports that the Obama administration appeared to turn up the heat on European governments ahead of April's G20 summit in London, quoting President Obama saying, "I think it's very important for the American people to understand that as aggressive as the actions we are taking have been so far, it's very important to make sure that other countries are moving in the same direction, because the global economy is all tied together".
Thomas Mayer, Chief European Economist for Deutsche Bank, is quoted in the IHT arguing that Europe is acting too slowly: "They are in denial, and hoping that something from the US will come along to help them out. The European system isn't designed for taking the unconventional policy measures that are now needed."
The article notes that German leaders are wary of sparking a long-term bout of inflation if they borrow and spend too much, while Germany and other countries in Europe do not want to shoulder the burden for more troubled economies.
The Express reports that this week Chancellor Alistair Darling pressed other EU finance ministers to agree more funds to bail out eastern Europe through the IMF and the EU. Open Europe's Stephen Booth is quoted saying, "While Mr Darling's desire to bail out struggling member states is noble, taxpayers will be outraged to hear that the Government is planning to spend even more of their money at a time when everyone is struggling to cope with the recession."
Philip Lane, Professor of Economics at Trinity College Dublin, is quoted in the IHT saying, "If a country were to need help, it's not clear if they should go to the European Union, the IMF or the ECB [European Central Bank]. The answer seems to change day to day."
Well Philip, let me advise. Buy dollars, peg the Irish currency to the dollar, and quit the Euro-Titanic while you still can. Keep all your debts in euros however. They will evaporate before your eyes. Democracy can return to Ireland once more, and corruption be driven from your shores.
The Buck Stops Here
The comparison between the mess in the EU should be made with the clarity of the American response to the economic downturn. In the USA there is still one man who knows he is responsible and is seen to be responsible, characterised by Harry Truman's phrase 'The Buck Stops Here'.
Read the history of the phrase - U.S. president Harry S. Truman had a sign with this inscription on his desk. This was meant to indicate that he didn't 'pass the buck' to anyone else but accepted personal responsibility for the way the country was governed.
Truman didn't originate the phrase, although it isn't likely that we would ever have heard of it had he not adopted it.
Fred M. Canfil, United States Marshal for the Western District of Missouri and a friend of Truman's, saw a sign like it while visiting the Federal Reformatory at El Reno, Oklahoma in 1945. He thought it would appeal to the plain-speaking Truman and arranged for a copy of it to be made and sent to him. It was seen on the President's desk on and off throughout the rest of his presidency.
On the reverse side, i.e. the side that Truman saw, it was inscribed, "I'm from Missouri". That's a short form of "I'm from Missouri. Show me". Natives of that state (a.k.a. the Show Me State), which included Truman, were known for their skeptical nature.
What would be the EU equivalent? 'You're Not My Responsibility', and on the obverse 'Where's My Cut?'
The problem in Europe is that 'fiscally responsible' countries such as Germany, Netherlands and Finland don't approve of more economic stimulus, preferring monetary discipline, while the countries that are facing insolvency, like Ireland, Portugal, Greece, Spain and Italy, are desperate for funds. Germany prefers to maintain the 'credibility' of the Euro, while the weaker countries fear the effects of the downturn and just want the money for short-term emergency assistance to their distressed economies.
The resolution of the two approaches should be made by a single central authority. In the USA they have the President. The EU has a series of summits and meetings where 26 member countries are expected to reach agreement. In the past they all agreed as the pay-offs for the politicians were huge. But now the European recession is threatening many of them with being thrown out of office, they are finding agreement impossible. The splits are cracking open the whole edifice as its currency sinks.

Now it's the era of the citizens
Votes for Europeans are possible: "http://www.we-change-europe.eu"
"We Change Europe" wants to offer the opportunity of getting involved into the process of political decisions made in the EU. Therefore they created an E-Voting tool and the possibility to promote political aims in form of paneuropean initiatives. In order to foster such citizens' democracy they organize Europe-wide votes for important union-related decision. All Europeans are invited to participate in these initiatives.
Topics, you can vote for:
We-Enlarge: The Europeans are enlarging their Union!
We-Elect: The Europeans elect their President!

EU Enlargement Policy is based on the concept that if something is chaos, it will get better if it gets bigger. The effect is of course just a bigger mess.
This political e-initiative shows how desperate they are getting.

Starting Lineups: What Would You Have Done If You Were Deion Sanders?Ed The Sports Fan, Football — By Eddie Maisonet, III on April 24, 2012 at 4:00 am
You come home from a long day's work, and then a series of events happen. I'll let Deion Sanders explain what happened to him when he came home. Go ahead, Prime.
Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room. She's going to jail n I'm pressing charges!
— DeionSanders (@DeionSanders) April 23, 2012
I'm sad my boys witnessed this mess but I warned the police department here that she was gone try n harm me and my boys. This is on my mama!
— DeionSanders (@DeionSanders) April 23, 2012
yfrog.com/o0547uj filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth.
— DeionSanders (@DeionSanders) April 23, 2012
I'm not facing a divorce, but I've dealt with my fair share issues with the opposite sex. A scorned lover will do some vile and dastardly things, and sometimes the toughest thing to do is to not retaliate, especially towards a woman. The ultimate cover corner decided not to cover this up, and took it to twitter to prove his innocence. What would you have done if you were in a similar situation? Leave your responses in the comments section.
Here is your Tuesday morning reading material, a.k.a. the Starting Lineups.

I commend Prime for not retaliating, coz that never ends well for any of the parties involved.
For starters, I would not tweet a picture of me and my kids filling out a police report. But then again, that's just me…
Doug is correct. Deion has lived in the media fishbowl since he was 17 and it's something that most of us cannot fully comprehend.
I agree that tweeting one's personal family business is weird. However, maybe Deion feels that it will get out anyway and he wants his version to be out front. That's a tough one. Hopefully, the two parents will be guided by doing what's best for the children.
I am about 199% sure that the tweeting was someone elses idea. Deion was even saying thank god there is a platform like this for me to tell everyone the truth.
As you can see not more than 45 minutes after his tweet, news media had her in the hospital getting herself checked out. Even after we heard that, because of his tweets we didn't believe what she had said because he had the kids to back him up.
It's sad that it has come to that but to each his own.

|D Making a new tumblr now~
And this is the sister of this wonderful girl right here. She doesn't deserve the shit people give her. She shouldn't have to fucking make a new tumblr because of assholes who just wanna make other people feel shitty. Tell your mind fine, but telling people to die and shit.. not cool. It's fun to do this shit to kids? I had a friend who fucking killed herself because of things people told her. Fuckasses who can't say nice things shouldn't say anything at all. If you don't like someone or what they say or think you can go ahead and fuck off. Don't mess with that person. Cruel words can mess up peoples lives. Think before you just fuck with someone kay? She has feelings and thoughts. If she expresses them she shouldn't be told to die and be called names. The stupid "cunts" and all such other names are the people who degrade others. ^w^ I'm taking my wonderful little sister out for a fun weekend. All the assholes can go suck dick. My sister is beautiful and adorable. We'll be having fun while you people waste your time hating. <3 Big sis out yo!

Passing The Bar: The Drink
In the dead of winter, when the wind is howling and snow banks line the streets, nothing takes the chill off like a belly-warming cup of mulled cider with a nip of rum. The Drink, a nautically themed, punch-focused bar in Williamsburg that opened in December, delivers a perfectly blended version of this traditional tipple in an atmosphere that's worth braving the elements for.
With a roomy interior reminiscent of a seaside New England cabin, The Drink exudes the relaxed feel of a dive bar, but never sacrifices style for comfort. The partners who dreamed up The Drink—Adam Collison of 3rd Ward, who helped open Goods, the art collective's food truck; Frank Cisneros of Dram and Prime Meats; and Will Jones of Spuyten Duyvil—serendipitously share a background in sailing. They channeled their maritime interests into The Drink and culled a slew of old sailing gear and ship parts from their families, which lends the bar a lived-in, vintage vibe. Navigational maps cover the ceiling, the walls are adorned with seafaring implements and the gorgeous bar was crafted from a 100-year-old piece of teak originally intended for a ship.
With punch the new libation du jour, it's tempting to think that the folks at The Drink were simply jumping on board with their own vessels of homemade tinctures and tea syrups, fresh juice and fine spirits. But Cisneros has long been developing recipes for the daily punch at Prime Meats, and punch connects to the nautical theme, since sailors brought it from India to England in the 17th century.
Two types of punch by the cup ($5), one hot, one cold, are ladled out each night. On a recent night the hot offering was The Wassail, a wonderful, warm mix of Rhum Barbancourt, apple cider, cherry juice and mango juice that was richly spiced with pink peppercorn, clove, cardamom, cinnamon and allspice. The cold punch of the evening, The Deadrise, blended W.L. Weller bourbon, grapefruit juice, cinnamon syrup and Peychaud's bitters. It was a little heavy on the bourbon, but an additional splash of grapefruit juice balanced out the tart drink. Communal bowls of punch with names like The Perfect Storm (a take on the classic Dark and Stormy, with homemade green tea syrup) and The Narwhal (a lemony punch based around Damrak Gin, which they infuse with homegrown rosemary) provide festive party starters, with 10 servings for $43. More than half a dozen punches for sharing rotate seasonally, and to start off 2011, The Drink has introduced a new punch, The Resolution, which is a bubbly concoction of Juvé & Camps Cava, Pierre Ferrand Cognac, apricot stomp, lemon juice and cinnamon syrup.
But The Drink also delivers on traditional cocktails and beers. The well drinks ($6) are made with high-quality liquors instead of the bottom-of-thebarrel brands that most bars pour. And five hand-carved rotating taps (selected by Jones) always include an English pale ale, an IPA, a pilsner, a stout and a wheat beer. Draft beers ($4), like Geary's Pale Ale, a sweet amber ale from Maine with a smooth finish, and the smokey Fade to Black stout from Left Hand Brewing in Colorado, are served in 12-ounce glasses filled to the brim. The bottled beer ranges from $5 to $10 and emphasizes excellent German and Belgian brews, such as the Hoevebrouwers Toria Tripel ($10), a Belgian strong ale, and Mahr's Pils ($9), a German pilsner.
The Drink's attention to craft and superior, often housemade, ingredients at an affordable price are a rare find. While others who focus on creative drinks might cater to an exclusive group of cocktail connoisseurs, The Drink offers creativity and quality without pretense to any who care to appreciate it.

One universal truth of baseball is that everybody gets to play the Marlins.
As noted feelings-haver Craig Calcaterra recently put it, a team's numbers can only be trusted so much when half of their games have been against Miami. They're just not a good… thing. With that said, there are still a few heroic fishermen weathering the storm in South Florida. One is Ehsan Kassim of Marlin Maniac, who took the time to respond to my consistently antagonistic messages.
The Marlins recently kicked a bunch of fans out of their park for protesting the team being ruined. What will be the breaking point for Jeffrey Loria? Will there be one? What will break?
Jeffery Loria is your modern day supervillan. He is the perfect antagonist, as he does whatever he wants to ruin other peoples lives and no one can do anything to stop him. I believe him when he says he wants to experience 2003 again, but he has no idea how to do that again. He walked into a situation with an up and coming ballclub and made a couple of moves that happened to go his way. If he had not won the 2003 World Series, 2003 would be remembered as the year the Marlins traded Adrian Gonzalez for a closer who is currently in prison.
I don't think Loria has a breaking point. He does not care about public perception at all. He has already screwed baseball in Montreal and he won't stop till he gets a shot to kill the Yankees organization from bottom up. The only person that could stop Loria is Bud Selig, but he and Jeff have been buddy buddy since Montreal.
After trading away every asset, what is the idea behind keeping Giancarlo Stanton? Even if they don't care about baseball – they don't – then can't they understand how much precious, precious money they could get for him?
Giancarlo is still a Marlin because he is considered cheap labor. Making just the league minimum, Loria and company have no problem paying Stanton nothing to be one of the best players in baseball. This upcoming offseason, Stanton will be arbitration eligible for the first time. If the team has not extended Stanton by that time, he is likely a goner and the Marlins will find a package of 4-5 prospects making even less than Stanton. Yay for Marlins Way!!
Giancarlo Stanton recently said it was "too early to panic" about the season. Is he insinuating that there are people whose hopes for the Marlins were so high that they are seeing the beginning of their season as a disappointment? Where are these people? Are they okay?
I think Stanton was talking about his own play eventually picking up as he makes his adjustments. But also, unlike Loria, Stanton has a heart and cares about the Marlins fans. He was just throwing the fans a bone and providing hope for a season that everyone knows is essentially a lost cause.
The only way you will find a Marlins fan with high hopes is if they are on an acid trip. That is the only way I can phantom someone picturing this current Marlins core hoisting the NL East crown. As they tell you in school, "Drugs are bad, just say no." In the case for Marlins fans, if you want to enjoy the 2013 season, go for it!
Jamie Moyer recently stated that at 50, he hasn't "closed that door" on pitching in Major League Baseball. How soon after that statement can we expect the Marlins to reach out to him?
I bet you anything that the Marlins have already reached out to Moyer, but were soon turned away as soon as Moyer found out that the Marlins no longer pay players in US currency. The Loria currency is still looking for a name, as Loria is trying to sell it's advertising rights, is currently worth less than half a food stamp.
Placido Polanco was cast at the Opening Day clean up hitter for the Miami Marlins. What?
You think that was bad? Greg Dobbs has been the cleanup hitter 5 or 6 times this season. I think that should answer all that you need to know about the Marlins crappiness.
Do the Phillies have the potential to be worse than the Marlins this season? Yes, they do. Whoops, I answered that one for you. Well, how much worse could they be? Like a ton worse, they're crap. Whoops, sorry again. But answer that last one please.
The Phillies have all the potential to be worse than the Marlins. But the key here is that the Marlins have the potential to be the worst team EVER. So the chances of the Phillies out Marlin-ing the Marlins is not likely. Sorry to disappoint any Phillies fans reading this article.
