Command and Conquer: The First Decade Courtesy of IGN Quite possibly the best real-time strategy video game that revolves around an alternative spin on world war history, Command and Conquer: The First Decade brings together all the titles that Westwood and Electronic Arts put out between 1995 and 2003. This includes the original Command and Conquer, Red Alert, Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, Renegade, and Generals. Frankly, you could be enthused with the multiplayer of any of these titles (particularly in our opinion, Generals), and the story is always enthralling with any of the chapters in this franchise. The disc also includes a bonus DVD that gives background, audio commentary and conceptual artwork that is worth at least a look if you're a fan.

As I was sent the "check in" text that I randomly send, my smarter self was saying "Don't Poke The Bear".
I've had my fill of "divorce critics" thinking they know better and shaming divorced people for our decisions! What do you know about our lives?
When we have gone through so much in the world of love and relationships, what can we do to persevere? Here are some practical tips.
I wish that my divorce meant that I never had to deal with my ex again, but my kids need him and he loves them. That's all that matters.
Have a new guy in your life? Here are eight signs he may not be worth your time and energy. If he isn't, don't invest too much time!
The "other woman" just emailed my friend looking for sympathy. Turns out, the ex was an asshole to her, too. Surprise surprise (and cry me a river).
When we're in the middle of our divorce or even if it's finally over, we are too close to see how far we've come. Here are 10 signs you're doing great!
I know what the popular term used for no-fault divorces is but I don't buy it. Not when I've seen so many cases where one side was at fault.
Some women stay in bad marriage due to very realistic fears. I examine those fears and offer an alternative way of thinking about divorce and the impact.
Children of divorce learn some positive and valuable life lessons during their parent's divorce. Divorce, can and does have valuable things to teach children.
Death or divorce, which is worse? As someone who has been through an unwanted divorce, I can share my views on what I feel is pain equal to loss due to death.
Children reflect back in their own lives what they see and experience every day. Mothers owe their children the following ten things on a consistent basis.
When a marriage starts out happy, it's hard to believe it could ever end in divorce. What causes good marriages to go bad? Here are six reasons.
How rediscovering myself led to an amazing new life, deeper relationships, and a healthy outlook, and how you too can deal with post-divorce depression.
I don't consider my divorce a failure. What if I told you that you're looking at it all wrong if you think your marriage was a failure.
Being in the midst of an abusive marriage is a thankless place. Once you leave and rebuild your life you will look back and know there were things to be thankful for.
Take it from someone who knows, pornography can destroy a marriage. I know because it destroyed mine.
Our marriage is now over; but, had he done these five things differently, we might still be together. What did you need that you weren't getting?

clara (Concord )
It's a pair of comfy boots, the fit is great, no pain points! However the boot isn't water proof, and some of the buckles came loose during a couple minor falls. Over all, for trail riding, the boot will provide general protection, and still should last quite a while, but maybe not so much if you are doing aggressive mx racing. The price is decent for what you paid for.

Discussion: The Villages softball tournament
Hi leftybob- the canseco's and miami power won this 50's tournament last october, but the rumor at the fiield today was that they were going to play for the villages. Ossie lives nearby in Ocala, and Jose was looking to establish residency there also. Thanks for posting the teams. I will post the winners on Sunday nite.

Discussion: WHO ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST POWERFUL HITTERS IN SENIOR SOFTBALL
Hi jrhunch-What you say about the MLB players union might be true, but Jose definitely threw some union members under the bus as well. We all know money talks in pro sports.Then when something happens,everyone starts pointing the finger at someone else. As you know,for years the club owners controlled the teams and all the players. Many players held jobs in the off-season to make ends meet. Then Curt Flood and the lawsuits started and the union and free agency took over.I would have liked to think that Jose would have taken the fall without taking others with him,but I guess unless you are in that spot yourself, you wouldn't know what you would do. Also, Jim Galloway was the most powerful hitter I ever saw, and the most powerful batter I ever played against was a lefty batter named Lou Russo.

Discussion: The Villages softball tournament
Any one coming to the villages softball tournament Oct. 17,18,19 ? I heard that the Canseco brothers were coming again this year. Not sure who they are playing for. Possibly the host team. As usual, there will be a home run hitting contest. Dave Reed of Hollis-Rose has won this event a couple of times in the past. The Villages top home run threats are Hank Culley and Dave Norvall. Should be a lot of good softball.

Discussion: WHO ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST POWERFUL HITTERS IN SENIOR SOFTBALL
Hi Ceres-I have to disagree with one thing that you post. Jose,as a union member, turned in other union members.I do not respect him for that. Obviously the book was written to make him money at the expense of others. That being said, I met Jose and Ozzie at the Villages softball tournament last Oct., and they both were not only fine players on the field, but very nice guys off the field. As I always say to team mates, he who is without error may cast the first softball.

Hi jrhunch-I agree with you. That is exactly the point I made in my post of june 23. Sometimes it is the interpretation of the rule by the ump at the game that takes precedence, but common sense should prevail.Perhaps this is another timing play?

Discussion: Strangest play I have ever seen
I would have thought that since 2 runs had already scored before the 2nd out was made, that they should have counted. If the batter hit with 2 outs and he missed 1st base, then I would say no runs scored if the appeal was enforced. I'm surprised that such a unique play is covered in the rule book.

Discussion: Miken Ultra II TOC Limited Edition Senior Softball (ULTTOC-UII Slow Pitch
I have hit with the Miken Ultra II TOC limited edition. I have hit a hundred balls off a tee, and it does not hit as far as my red Miken max-load. It is supposed to be the same bat,but I'm not getting the distance I get with the red miken. The sweet spot doesn't seem to be as good. Maybe I need more hits on it.

Hi George-The winter season ends on 4/11, then they close the fields for maintenance until the summer season starts in May. There are a couple of fields outside of the Villages that can be used for practice. There are two batting cages right out side the Villages on Rolling Acres Road and SR 466. There is a field nearby where you will find some open practices going on. It is about a quarter of a mile north of Rolling Acres rd. and 466, on rolling Acres. It's called Harry Sachs field and is pretty well kept. The outfield fence is 250 ft. Hope this info helps. Bud

text: Ventrus Biosciences One name that's trending very close to triggering a major breakout trade is Ventrus Biosciences ( VTUS), which is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of late-stage prescription drugs for gastrointestinal disorders, specifically hemorrhoids, anal fissures and fecal incontinence. This stock is off to a hot start in 2013, with shares up a whopping 29%. >>4 Biotech Stock Stars Losing Their Luster If you take a look at the chart for Ventrus Biosciences, you'll see that this stock has been uptrending strong for the last month, with shares moving higher from its low of $2.42 to its recent high of $2.98 a share. During that uptrend, shares of VTUS have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has also been accompanied by strong upside volume, and VTUS is now quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in VTUS if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $2.98 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above $2.98 a share with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 177,984 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then VTUS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its recent super spike high of $3.92 a share. Traders can look to buy VTUS off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits just below some key near-term support levels at $2.67 to $2.56 a share or even near its 50-day moving average at $2.43 a share. One could also buy off strength once VTUS takes out $2.98 a share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits just below $2.67 to $2.56 a share. Keep in mind that VTUS sports a low tradable float of just 8.39 million shares, so any big volume breakout could easily send this stock skyrocketing higher. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Budget Fighting Dates to Founding Fathers
Published: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 10:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 10:27 p.m.
WASHINGTON | Wondering who to thank for the bizarre rules that allow Congress to approve spending, then later slam the door on new borrowing to pay the bills? Thank the Founding Fathers.
Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the exclusive powers to legislate and the power of the purse. In fact, Section 8 of the first article deals specifically with paying debts.
But the Constitution's Article 2 empowers the president to carry out the laws passed by Congress and run the government at the levels authorized and appropriated by Congress.
In that simple civics lesson is the root of the problem. Congress passes legislation to spend, but it's the president who must ensure those bills get paid. Those two objectives don't neatly line up. President Barack Obama complains that past presidents haven't been subjected to the types of conditions being asked of him in exchange for lifting the debt ceiling, but it just isn't true. To the contrary, there's plenty of precedent.
"In the past, Congress has responded to make sure that the Treasury can still keep borrowing, but debt and budgets have always been contentious," said D. Andrew Austin, an analyst in government finance for the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service and the author of a brief but thorough history of the debt limit.
His research shows that fights over installing a new cap on the nation's debt are hardly a new phenomenon.
"While the debt limit has never caused the federal government to default on its obligations, it has at times caused great inconvenience and has added uncertainty to Treasury operations," Austin wrote.
The Constitution created the backdrop for fights between Congress and the president over spending and taxes, but the actual statutory limit on just how much debt the federal government can incur began almost 100 years ago, with the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917.
Before then, Congress had from time to time given the Treasury Department authority to issue bonds to raise money for special projects. And Congress had authorized borrowing for specific reasons such as for building the Panama Canal.
The issuance of long-term Liberty Bonds changed the game. They were authorized so that the federal government could better hold down its borrowing costs as it funded America's entry into World War I. In 1919, the debt ceiling was about $43 billion, but at the close of the fiscal year, the debt actually stood at about $25.5 billion, with Congress reluctant to borrow all that was authorized.
Several decades of congressionally mandated debt limits followed, and it gave Treasury officials more autonomy to issue debt. Austin's report notes that at the start of World War II, the U.S. debt ceiling of $45 billion was just 10 percent higher than the $40.4 billion in actual debt. Actual borrowing matched up more neatly with authorized amounts. Until the cost of World War II exploded, that is. By 1945, the debt ceiling was set at $300 billion.
From that point forward, there were 69 changes to the debt limit through the end of the 2007-2008 fiscal year, including the largest single-chunk increase, $984 billion in May 2003, as America borrowed to pay for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq while also cutting taxes.
In 1979, up-and-coming Missouri Democrat Dick Gephardt, who later became House majority leader, won a parliamentary ruling that allowed any final vote on a budget to automatically raise the debt ceiling.
The so-called Gephardt Rule was welcomed by both major political parties because it eliminated the need to take that separate and politically costly vote to raise the debt ceiling. Over time, it lost its luster because senators amended the budget passed by the House, meaning it had to come back to the House for another vote, which had the same effect as voting to raise the debt ceiling.
The Gephardt Rule, however, ended when Republicans took back the House of Representatives in the 104th Congress and Georgia Republican Newt Gingrich became House speaker in 1995. He saw an opportunity to use the debt ceiling for political leverage
"It was looked at by conservatives as another opportunity to take a whack at the fiscal situation ... since the Senate was historically amending the debt limit," said William Hoagland, a former Republican staff director for the Senate Budget Committee.

On Monday afternoon at SES Chicago, Don Schultz of Northwestern University was the featured keynote speaker. His presentation focused on providing some perspective on the maturity of the search industry. For a bunch of great quotes from the presentation, check out the write up by Kevin Heisler.
The overriding theme of the presentation can be captured in a few of his key observations:
- The amount of money spent on traditional marketing in the past year was $2.5 trillion. This is way more than we have in our tiny little industry at this point.
- Marketing courses today are still based on the 4 Ps – Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. This is what is in all the marketing text books.
- CEOs are not going to get moved by the quality of the results or ROI of a marketing campaign that involves 1% or less of their buget. It's just not on their radar.
- Finding ways to integrate with traditional marketing is critical to the growth of the search industry.
One major theme that underscored the presentation was that today's search marketing operates in an environment where the customer is in control. In addition, search marketing is accountable. You can actually measure the ROI. Traditional marketers don't like this.
In addition, traditional marketing uses a "srpay and pray" methodology. Everything is "push" oriented, and the customer has much less control.
This has evolved so that it's all about the brand. Products and services can be copied, so brand ends up being the differentiator. Brand advertising was effectively invented by Proctor & Gamble back in the early days of TV. One way you can think about integrating with tradiotnal marketing: reputation management. Reputation management is interesting because that is all about brand as well.
The biggest thing I liked about his presentation was that he reminds us all to look at the bigger picture. It's easy to get wrapped up in the details of our day to day jobs and lose the forest for the trees. Our customers have large scale marketing problems to solve. Today, they can't spend enough on search to satisfy the demands of their business.
As Don put it: "It's not how good you are, it's more about how you fit into traditional marketing." What can you do to fit search into the broader marketing picture of your clients?

Description: By this long-delayed, massively anticipated album, the Wu had become less a crew than a small country, with dozens of central and auxiliary members, and rap styles so twisted they seem like another, private language. Without even a hint of anything for radio or casual listeners to latch onto, Wu-Tang Forever sprawls out for nearly two hours, and--taken as pure sound--it's about the most avant-garde No. 1 album ever, with deliberately bizarre production (out-of-tune and off-rhythm loops, even what sounds like a string quartet) and relentless torrents of cryptic, furious words. It demands repeated listens and careful attention to ... (more)

[2-20]: I have seen these and organised them roughly in order of how immediately you must watch them.
[21-35]: This…
2000 Directed by Joe Berlinger, Bruce Sinofsky
Paradise Lost 2: Revelations revisits the 1994 Arkansas murder of three 8-year-old boys and the three teenagers convicted of the crime. A follow up to Paradise Lost, Revelations features new interviews with the convicted men, as well as with the original judge and police investigators.
Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, is yet another look by HBO filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky at the case of the West Memphis Three. Despite a plethora of evidence pointing away from the three some people just aren't willing to listen.
This sequel to the 1996 documentary Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robing Hood Hills has a heavy focus on John Mark Byers, stepfather to one of the murder victims Christopher Byers. In my opinion he didn't play a role in the three 8 year olds deaths, but that doesn't mean he's not a crazy son of a bitch. Much like the first film and the recently released documentary West of Memphis this is a must see film. If…
In the first film the documentarians had what seemed to be unlimited access to anyone and everyone in the case of the child murders. For the follow up, "Revelations", there is a definite step down. Not as much access. Not as many mind blowing moments. But it is still an entertaining viewing experience.
John Mark Byers who is a stepfather of one of the victims, steals the show and loves the spotlight. He is irritating and hilarious at the same time. It may seem like the filmmakers are trying to make you hate him, but in my opinion he is bringing that on himself. He is a more than willing participant in the film and is more theatrical of a performer than some broadway stars.
If the first movie taught me the dangers of inciting a witch hunt, this sequel film actually WAS a witch hunt. How the filmmakers misstepped so drastically is beyond me. Revelations seems like a very similar movie in the way it is paced and shot. It slowly gives out details, but this movie suffers from a lack of revelations to give to the audience. I was left with minimal updates to the case that didn't end up going anywhere. While the first movie remained relatively unbiased, this sequel didn't even bother to hide its bias. The film actively wants me to hate John Mark Byers based on unfounded evidence, despite the fact that the last film taught me to wait…
Ended up buying too many Metallica songs as a result of watching these documentaries.
Missed opportunity: John Goodman playing John Mark Buyers in the David Fincher directed adaption.
Revelations succeeds in pretty much disregarding the neutral standpoint from the first film. Taking place about 3-5 years after the original, it presents a dec-at-best followup with couple new pieces of evidence, and shifts the focus almost entirely to the stepfather of one of the victims. Is the evidence important? Of course. But the movie as a whole just didn't have the same feeling as the first one. It basically forces the audience into a corner with who they're supposed to support. Don't corner me, dog! It'll be interesting to see how this quadrilogy pans out with the next installment.
This is the one were nothing gets resolved. It's a bit of a recap for people who missed part one and "where are they now" of sorts with everyone involved in the first documentary. The filmmakers and HBO this time took the opportunity and their soap box to go on the offensive. The first movie was a faithful telling of what was going on in that courtroom. This is a personal attack on everyone involved on the prosecution's side and a plea for help for those three still very young men.
What stands out the most is the bizarre, award-worthy acting job put on by John Mark Byers, the stepfather of one of the young boys who was murdered. He…
My experience of watching this was a bit tricky since I've already seen part 3, but damn, Byers is such a character that this still counts as a must-see.
Worth it, especially for the outrageous shot of John Mark Byers taking out his full-mouth piece set of dentures and waving them in front of the West Memphis 3 support group.
Truly heartbreaking stuff.
There's a steep drop in quality from the first film. Some of the reasons for this are entirely understandable - the filmmakers necessarily had to depend on a lot of archive footage; very few family members agreed to participate, etc. But there's also a smug assuredness to this film that I found especially off-putting. I think John Mark Byers is suspicious as all hell, but I don't have any particularly good evidence that he was involved in the murders beyond the fact that he's a habitual liar and he's done a few suspicious things. The bombshells in the film felt slightly overblown, like the filmmakers didn't have faith that the very real injustices of the first film were enough to…
Not as much access as the first documtary but still entertaining.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Watched Paradise Lost 2
Christ almighty this is a SURREAL film at times.
Despite the filmmakers trying to incriminate him in the initial trial...... Mark Byers agrees to be filmed again and takes center stage this time around and.... I mean, you can't write this shit. I felt like I was watching Crumb again. Where I'm watching a real guy that is more bizarre than the weirdest stuff I've seen in fiction.
I mean I just didn't like the guy in the first movie. The second movie I'm convinced he's a goddamned maniac. I mean if he didn't kill his son and wife... fine. But that doesn't change the fact that he is a.... fuckin'.... lunatic. With some really twisted…
[2-20]: I have seen these and organised them roughly in order of how immediately you must watch them.
[21-35]: This…
No idea if there is a list for this yet, but I think I will keep this as kind of…

DescriptionAnother tournament composed of several different challenges rocks the streets near Nekketsu High and since the series hero Kunio isn't going to turn down a challenge anytime soon, every gang in the city sends its team hoping to come up on top.
Crash 'N the Boys: Street Challenge features the same basic gameplay engine and mechanics found in the rest of the Kunio/Nekketsu High games. The player controls a character in side-scrolling levels and try to defeat opponents using an arsenal of attacks and special moves. Unique to this game is that in order to clear the five stages, the player must also accomplish a series of sport-themed objectives. There is a throwing event, a golfing event, swimming, jumping, and all-out fighting events, all with unique twists inspired by the street/gangs theme of the game (e.g. the jumping event involves jumping across the rooftops in the city).
Depending on the player's performance in each event they may earn medals that can be exchanged for power-ups and stat increases. The game supports two players co-op or vs. gameplay.

On Monday, January 16th, I lost my best friend Chato to congestive heart failure. Today, February 21st, would have been his eleventh birthday.
In 2001 I was looking for a second Chihuahua, which was to be a birthday gift from Pete and Stephen. I was working at a dog-training school, and a few of the customers who signed up for classes told me of a breeder in San Jose who "has nice dogs". I called her and found out she would have puppies available soon. After they were born, I arranged to see the dogs, but I had to cancel the appointment. When I called again to reschedule, I was told that all four puppies in the litter had been sold. I was disappointed, but I figured we would find another dog somewhere else. Then, a week or so later, the breeder called to tell me that a woman who had bought one of the puppies discovered she was pregnant, and decided it would be best not to get a dog at that time. We immediately drove to San Jose and met the tiny, one-pound puppy who would become Chato. He was truly meant to be ours.
Chato was most frequently described as a "character": he was very intelligent and had a happy, loving personality but he also possessed a naughty, mischievous streak, as well as some eccentricities. He invented a strange game where he pushed a golf ball around on the floor with his cheek, and barked at it. It took him a while to trust people, but once he did, he loved them wholeheartedly. He accepted new dog and cat additions to the household quickly, and he was a devoted friend. Oversized at nine pounds (he didn't fit the two-to-six-pound Chihuahua breed standard) and far from show quality, Chato was a big dog in a small body; he liked to wrestle and play and guard the house, often patrolling the back yard for hours. He was the most curious, interactive dog I have ever known, and he was interested and involved with whatever I was doing. From the day that we brought him home at seven weeks of age he was a 'working breed': he accompanied me to my various jobs until he died. He also went many other places—on walks, to parties, the homes of friends and family, some out of town shows that my band played, my family's cabin in the mountains, even on a road trip to Nevada and the studios where The Tantrums recorded. He loved riding in cars, watching TV (looking out the front window of the house), playing with his toys, going to the dog park, cuddling with his people and the other dogs, and sitting in the sun on the back porch. We were not aware of how serious his condition was because he never lost his puppy energy— he was chasing a cat in the backyard and playing fetch the weekend before he passed away. In true Chato style, he went out with a bang. I hope he knew how much he was loved, and how important he was to us. I am immensely grateful that we had such a wonderful, amusing, interesting, adorable, loving, loyal and unique friend for over ten years. He brought us all so much life and happiness, I don't know how I am supposed to go on without him. And I didn't know it was possible to be this sad.

Hyperion, as mentioned, provides the *backstory* of the travellers; I've criticized several books for not driving the present action forward, but Hyperion does this well. The present action in some parts is directly influenced by the travellers' stories and is compelling enough on its own to make the interludes worthwhile. Moreover, Hyperion ends right as the present action involving the Shrike and the Time Tombs is about to really begin, so the sequel is an integral part of the story of the first book. The sequel, Fall of Hyperion, is therefore high priority on my long, long reading list.
It's been a while since I've read something so engrossing (other than Andy Weir's The Martian, which I have still yet to review). Dan Simmons has a great method of worldbuilding, in which he'll introduce a new technology without infodumping, then keep bringing it up when relevant to provide more and more detail. The same goes for his characters, for how the disparate plots of the seven travellers begin to coincide, and even for how the different genres mentioned above all tie together. All told, five stars.
Hyperion is mostly book composed of multiple stories that all have something in common; the Shrike. The writing is itself delightful, but some of the stories are somewhat unsatisfying. This is especially true for the Consul's story, which is the last one. Also, the end is, in my opinion, unrealistic. Not unrealistic in the sens that what happens is not possible in this universe, but in the sens that the way the characters behave is simply... to simple. There is no complexity in their choices and behaviors. In my opinion, the last 50 pages or so are not the same quality as the rest of the book and for me that's a big down side. I will not provide further details as to spoil the experience of new readers, since this perspective is my own and is certainly not share with all the readers. Also, I am not a big fan of religions (although I understand it is a fundamental concept in societies history and mass psychology) and the cultism that could be found throughout the book was somewhat dull. The complete opacity of the Shrike church and its disciples was too simple in my perspective, where all the members seem to be perfectly behaving. This lacks plausibility, even in a sci-fi universe and I wished this church would've been either a small plot (not a core part of the book) or much better developed.

¡Uno! is the ninth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day, released on September 21, 2012, by Reprise Records. It is the first of three albums in the ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! trilogy, a series of studio albums released from September 2012 to December 2012. Green Day recorded the album from February to June 2012 at Jingletown Studios in Oakland, California. It is the band's first album as a quartet, as Jason White became an official member.
Artwork of the album was revealed in a video uploaded to YouTube and the track list of the album, which consist of 12 songs was announced on June 26, 2012. The first single from the album, titled "Oh Love", was released on July 16, 2012. The second single "Kill the DJ" was released on European iTunes Stores on August 14, 2012. The third single "Let Yourself Go" was released on the US iTunes Store on September 5, 2012, and a promotional single "Nuclear Family" was released on their YouTube channel on September 12, 2012. A music video for "Stay the Night" was released on Rolling Stone and their YouTube channel on September 24, 2012.
¡Uno! received generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 139,000 copies. The album also reached the top 10 of charts in numerous other countries.

With their last eight years occupied by the grand projects of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, the notion that Green Day are a band whose musical character is informed by a sense of creative courage is no longer new.
One of the most fascinating things about ¡Uno!, though, is just how deftly its authors have managed to secure for themselves fresh ground on which to operate. Not least because, with this tight and melodically claustrophobic album, it seems that no space actually exists.
Not everything contained within is of the highest order, mind. Billie Joe Armstrong's Iggy Pop-style drawl on Troublemaker lends a rather mannered quality to his usually impeccable sense of vocal-phrasing, and Carpe Diem is a little too reminiscent one of the authors' earlier songs, 1997's Suffocate.
Elsewhere though, this is a work of masterfully controlled music. ¡Uno! manages to feature both a dance track (Kill the DJ) and a quite stunning closing song (Oh Love) that hints at Celtic balladry fashioned precisely in Green Day's image.
Just as captivating is Armstrong's sense of lyrical finesse, particularly his ability to transform from a man capable of expressing unconditional love while, in the song, becoming the kind of "son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe" featured in American Idiot. The latter characters, or character traits, are particularly delicious.
On the pummelling Loss of Control, the singer warns that he's "taking down all his enemies 'cause they're all so f*ing useless / A bunch of s*-talking drama queens who are all filled with excuses." Two songs later, on the sexually charged Angel Blue, the man with the microphone is telling someone he desires to be his "bloody valentine". Bloody how, exactly?
This question and more are posed by this fascinating work, a release that demands of the listener the care and attention afforded it by its creators. Free from grandly theatrical flourishes that were threatening to become things of creative captivity, ¡Uno!'s graceful manoeuvres confirm Green Day's status as one of the world's finest rock'n'roll bands.

Orioles third baseman Manny Machado could miss Saturday's annual FanFest because he's committed to be with his best friend for the birth of his first child.
Machado and Oakland Athletics first baseman Yonder Alonso became fast friends since meeting in 2009. Alonso's fiancé, Amber Harmon, is due to deliver the couple's first child, a baby boy, later this week, according to a source.
There is still hope that Machado could attend FanFest, and the Orioles remain committed to working to help him attend, even if it's just for a few hours.
For Machado -- who was raised by his mother in a single-parent home in Miami -- Alonso and his family...

You've probably seen by now the attempt by Donald Trump to seize the headlines away from Ted Cruz's YUGE win in Utah by attacking his wife, Heidi Cruz.
Now, this is a LIE of course, because the ad was made by a SuperPAC that Ted Cruz is legally bound to not coordinate with.
That's why he got his bottom-feeding creepy lackey Roger Stone to tweet it:
Please Supermodel @MELANIATRUMP GQ "Nude" photo shoot tasteful and not revealing – More Lying @TedCruz BS
— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) March 23, 2016
And while his idiot sycophantic followers will assail Heidi and Ted because they mindlessly believe anything Trump tells them, Trump was actually the first to attack a candidate's wife this election season!!
Watch below:
He deleted the tweet, but it clearly delighted all his followers to see him equate all Mexicans with illegal immigrants. And yet, all the Trumpers will be out in full force whining that Ted Cruz attacked Melania, when 1) he didn't, and 2) even if he had done it, he'd be following in Trump's cowardly example.

(Bruce Baker/McCook Daily Gazette)
Pam Morello, who was officially named warden of the McCook Work Ethic Camp in September, was named Acting Warden in August, when Warden Barb Lewien accepted a position with the Omaha Correctional Center. She was moved permanently into the position, overseeing the 150-160 population of the Nebraska Department of Corrections center, effective Sept. 8.
Morello has been in McCook since she relocated with the railroad in 1980. She has extensive experience with WEC and has been promoted several times since she began her career in 2001, serving as Assistant Warden since 2008.
Morello feels the partnerships the WEC has established with the community are crucial and is particularly grateful for the efforts surrounding their vocational training program. The program initially focused on welding training and prompted Mid-Plains Community College to open the Center for Applied Science and Technology in McCook, as well as hire a full-time welding and machine shop instructor at the center. The WEC has since added a business technology program which graduated its third class recently, following the success of the welding program. "Mid-Plains Community College, Valmont and Workforce Development were instrumental in kicking off the program," said Morello.
"The staff here really demonstrates the belief change is possible. That's really what the Work Ethic Camp is all about. It's such an individual endeavor and not everyone is at the same place at the same time. It requires patience," said Morello.
Morello said she is following in the footsteps of two wardens who "cast very long shadows, in regard to the good work that they began," referring to Lewien and her predecessor Raleigh Haas.
In September, the WEC expanded its services to non-resident probation and parolees, serving as a Day Reporting Center and allowing them to take part in self betterment programs, including cognitive thinking and substance abuse programs.
"Constant re-evaluation of what we are doing [is necessary], targeting needs and addressing them so we are offering programming that addresses their specific needs. All of that is only possible through our staff," said Morello, whose pride in her approximate 80 member staff is evident.
"They encourage and challenge me daily. Together we remain faithful and steadfast in our mission here at the Work Ethic Camp."

2015 Impact Report
Other NICHQ Sites
Maternal mental health is a key part of moms' and children's health outcomes. According to the World Health Organization, 10 percent of pregnant women and 13 percent of postpartum women have mental health concerns, such as depression. Fortunately, these cases are largely treatable, especially if doctors are able to intervene early on.
For the estimated 100,000 Americans diagnosed with sickle cell disease (SCD), a medication called hydroxyurea (HU) can protect against pain outbreaks, lessen the need for blood transfusions and even reduce mortality. But while HU is the only drug approved by the FDA for preventing SCD-related complications, only 42 percent of adults with SCD were taking HU in 2014.
Fostering the creation of healthy families by choice, not chance, is not a new idea. Organizations and agencies are working to improve pregnancy planning, spacing and preventing unintended pregnancies. Given the high rates of unintended pregnancy in the U.S., action is needed from all stakeholders–consumers, health providers, policy makers–in proactively supporting this critical conversation.
More mothers in New York will soon experience better improvements in hospital maternity care, as 21 more hospitals join the state's Breastfeeding Quality Improvement in Hospitals Collaborative (BQIH). Cohort A saw 12 New York hospitals work together and use quality improvement (QI) methods to change their systems and practices to better support a mothers choice to breastfeedings. Cohort B will see 20 new hospitals participate in the collaborative, building off the momentum and learnings from their predecessors.
Unplanned pregnancies can present a tremendous challenge for many women, healthcare payers and the community, and are associated with a number of negative health outcomes, such as delayed prenatal care and premature births. Efforts like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) recent guidance and the Collaborative Improvement & Innovation Network to Reduce Infant Mortality (IM CoIIN) have improved maternal and infant health outcomes, while also highlighting the $10 billion cost burden Medicaid expends on unplanned births.
The Best Babies Zone (BBZ) Initiative has been working on the social determinants of health for four years. In 2012, BBZ was launched to address the social, economic and environmental factors that contribute to poor birth outcomes. With funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, three small pilot "zones" were launched in Cincinnati, OH, New Orleans, LA, and Oakland, CA. In these cities, a lead organization connects and convenes partners from across sectors, creating possibilities for innovative projects that address the root causes of infant mortality in that community.
In the 1930s, Finland's infant mortality rate reached 65 deaths per 1,000 live births, leading to the 1938 introduction of baby boxes—kits that include a mattress, bedding, diapers, a box that serves as a crib and other necessities. By 2015, that rate had dwindled to an estimated 2.52 deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2014, there were 3,500 sudden unexpected infant deaths in the United States, 25 percent of which were caused by accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed. Learning from Finland's success, organizations in the U.S. are beginning to offer their own baby boxes to new families.
While a higher percentage of Rhode Islanders have health insurance compared to the U.S. average, achieving health equity has been a challenge for the state—especially for its infant mortality rate. Now, the Rhode Island Department of Health is targeting key social factors that impact infant mortality in minority groups, including education, income and stress. The Rhode Island Commission for Health Advocacy and Equity was created in 2011 to address the inequity, by bringing together state agencies to focus on the social determinants of health—typically defined as the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. Aligning the efforts of those inside and outside the state is also key.
Reducing the rate of pre-term birth is a major priority for state health agencies and a growing concern for state Medicaid programs. Medicaid agencies provide coverage for over half of the nation's births each year and pay for a higher rate of premature or low-birth weight babies than the private insurance market (10.4 percent versus 9.1 percent). Pre-term birth, a birth that occurs prior to 37 weeks of gestation, is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Early delivery is associated with a host of long-term health issues for the infant, including sight and hearing loss, cerebral palsy and developmental and intellectual disabilities.
Over the past few years, many U.S. hospitals have moved away from the traditional use of nurseries for healthy newborn infants, choosing to move toward rooming-in and couplet care. Rooming-in is an evidence-based practice that promotes keeping healthy newborn babies and their mothers together in post-labor recovery rooms. This recent change in practice and policy for many hospitals is partially based on recommendations in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding and the increased movement toward earning Baby-Friendly designation in the U.S.
Developed as part of the Mass in Motion Kids Learning Collaborative, NICHQ's new Healthy Weight Clinic Guide teaches providers how they can develop, implement and maintain community-based pediatric healthy weight clinics. The Healthy Weight Clinic Guide is an opportunity for healthcare providers, families and children to address obesity together and promote healthy living.
In the United States, nearly 100,000 people have the inherited red blood cell disorder sickle cell disease (SCD), yet access to knowledgeable providers throughout their lifespan is one of the biggest challenges for these patients. With a desire to narrow this disparity, groups of SCD experts are teaching healthcare providers how to capably manage patients with SCD by harnessing the power of technology, including telementoring.
Early childhood is a critical window of opportunity for promoting early socioemotional health. When children's socioemotional health (defined as a child's capacity to form secure relationships, experience and regulate emotions and explore and learn) is compromised, it can have significant implications on long-term wellness including failure in school, inability to make or sustain friendships, and poor self-image. Through a project called Promoting Optimal Child Development, NICHQ, along with Ariadne Labs and the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust (EFCT), worked together to develop recommendations for using pediatric primary care practices to reinforce positive socioemotional behaviors in primary caregivers of children ages 0 to 3.
Since NICHQ was named the National Coordinating Center for the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Program (SCDTDP) in 2010 there have been increases in the number of providers prescribing disease modifying therapies, such as hydroxyurea to treat patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), better care in emergency departments, along with increases in the number of patients receiving regular care with providers knowledgeable about treating SCD. As the project enters into a new phase, we recently sat down with Suzette Oyeku, MD, MPH, medical director for NICHQ's sickle cell work to learn more about the project's evolution and learnings.
It is becoming increasingly clear that efforts to improve risk-appropriate site of delivery may benefit from close collaboration among perinatal care providers, payers and public health organizations. State health departments and state hospital associations often manage repositories of population-level perinatal data while perinatal quality collaboratives can engage front-line providers. Collaborative partnerships among these entities can facilitate improved outcomes at the population level.
The National Center for Medical Home Implementation has named NICHQ's CHIPRA Massachusetts Medical Home Initiative an "innovative and promising practice" in pediatric medical home implementation. The initiative focused on helping 13 pediatric practices in Massachusetts successfully implement a medical home model of care. Unique to the project was the use of an internal practice transformation facilitator (PTF)—a motivated individual currently employed within the practice—to manage the day-to-day implementation needs of the pediatric medical home transformation.
In the weeks following childbirth, mothers must adapt to plunging hormones, recover from birth and learn how to feed and care for a new infant. Amid these challenges, moms receive minimal support from the healthcare system. Postpartum visits are typically scheduled four to six weeks after birth, leaving moms to cope on their own for more than a month. Moms need more support in the weeks following birth.
Helping people make a long-term, healthy lifestyle choice doesn't have to be daunting. The key lies in motivating—not indoctrinating—the client. Motivational interviewing is a style of communication for helping someone explore and resolve their ambivalence to change.
NICHQ is joining with organizations around the country and world to celebrate Infant Mortality Awareness Month and National Sickle Cell Awareness Month in September. NICHQ has a long history of working to improve outcomes on these health topics. We invite you to explore and share our resources, stories, videos and other materials related to reducing infant mortality rates and improving care for individuals with sickle cell disease.
A vast universe of symptoms, medications, complications, specialists and tests constantly surround my friend Julie. She is 38 and has Type 1 diabetes (T1D), which she was diagnosed with at age 10. Her quest for a long and prosperous future of good health is both harrowing and inspiring.
Improvement science teaches us to view outcomes—such as health—as the inevitable product of a system, with the implication that achieving improved outcomes requires changing the system itself. A deep understanding of the system and how it functions can enable smarter decisions about selecting high leverage changes in order to improve system performance.
For as long as I can remember, I have been working to make things more organized, effective and efficient. I have spent countless hours organizing and reorganizing things in my life – everything from my son's toys and games to the storage of our digital photos. It shouldn't be surprising, then, that I have spent over a decade in project management and just over a year ago, found my way to NICHQ and discovered quality improvement science.
I had never heard of the concept of a medical home before coming to NICHQ, but I've now seen what is possible in a patient-focused system where primary care physicians and specialists coordinate to deliver high-quality healthcare. In situations like mine, where there are no established protocols to follow, the need for a medical home is most critical—and paradoxically, most lacking.
