Victor Wallet
Waterfield Designs
Price: $29.00
Editor's note: Waterfield Designs is known for their technology bags. They are branching out.
The first time I laid eyes on the Victor Wallet, I thought, there is no way this thing is going to work for a packrat like me. The beautiful leather wallet I've been using the last few years has an unusual amount of space for credit cards, insurance cards, gift cards and the like. Naturally, over the years, my needs expanded to fill the space available.

These two combo tech/personal tote bags are almost identical in size and shape. But they are constructed from very different materials, and one is almost double the price of the other. Which one should you get, and why? More important is why to consider using a tech tote in the first place.

PRIMA SELECT Premium Leather iPhone Flip Case
Company: Prima, Inc.
Price: $42.95
The Weeks Division of MyMac Labs get plenty of iPhone cases to review. Some are better than others. Unfortunately, Prima's Premium Leather Flip case does not fall into the "better than others" category.
While our review case was nicely made of leather, with several slots for credit cards or licenses, Prime seems to have not understood what makes a useful iPhone case.
Here are a few problems I discovered in the first five minutes of using the case:
1) The case itself is well made, using good quality leather.
2) The flip case has a snap to keep the cover closed. A snap is a better choice than a magnet, according to Prima, as iPhones and magnet don't get along too well together. That's nice, but the snap is on the -back- of the case, so it's awkward to unsnap. Moreover, the snap needed an excessive amount of pressure to snap shut. The manufacturer says the snap should loosen up with time. I did not use the case enough to verify this.

I'd like to render lighting effects for an indoor environment, where there are about 20 different light sources
You can roughly imagine it as a cinematographic set -- the subjects to be illuminated are mostly humans.
Currently, I simply model the light as a 9-values vector (by using a spherical harmonics representation).
Do you think it could be an appropriate model, or is it too poor?

If you want specular, then SH isn't really going to work. Good specular is very important for getting realistic-looking skin, so you may want to apply at least a few lights analytically.

ACAPULCO, Mexico -- Top-seeded Venus Williams reached the final of the Mexican Open, beating Romanian Edina Gallovits 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 on Friday.
Williams will face eighth-seeded Polona Hercog of Slovenia in the final. The defending champion is coming off a victory Sunday in Dubai, her 42nd WTA victory -- the most by any active player.
Hercog beat Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3, 7-5 to reach her first WTA final.
Asked if she knew much about Hercog's game, Williams replied: "I've actually never seen her play. I know only her name."
That would suggest a mismatch, but it's unlikely. Clay is Williams' weakest surface and in her last two victories, she has been pushed to three sets by relatively unknown players.
"Everybody here against me, they seem to bring their best," Williams said.
Gallovits, ranked only 164 to Williams' No. 5, made few mistakes early but seemed to lose her concentration in the final set when Williams began to dominate and hit the corners with her serves and groundstrokes.
I'm definitely getting much better, adjusting to the surface," Williams said. "So we'll see. I'm looking to peak tomorrow. Tomorrow is the time."
Fourth-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain reached the men's final when Juan Monaco retired with a rib injury after losing the first set 7-5.
Ferrero, seeking his third straight tour title, will face best friend and No. 3 David Ferrer, who defeated Fernando Gonzalez 6-7 (4), 6-0, 6-4.
The 19-year-old Hercog, who was also playing in her first tour semifinal, hammered the ball into the stands after the match to celebrate.
"With every match I was playing better and today I felt really comfortable in the warmup," Hercog said. "So I went on the court really confident.
"I had to be more aggressive than she was, and this really worked out for me. I'm really happy with the performance and to play my first WTA final," she said.
Monaco was leading the opening set 5-4 when he took an injury timeout to treat an injury to the left side of his ribcage. He returned to the court and lost the next three games, handing the set to Ferrero 7-5, and then retired.
Ferrero has won the past two ATP events on the Latin American swing -- in Argentina and Brazil -- and is seeking his 15th ATP title.
"The streak I am on is really unexpected," Ferrero said. "The way tennis is right now it's very difficult to put together this kind of streak. I'm happy with the wins I am having."
Ferrer is looking for revenge -- friend or no friend.
"He's my best friend on the tour, so that's good," Ferrer said. "But we'll try to get even with him. Really, I'm happy for me and him."
Monaco said he felt the pain when he was leading 3-1 and it got worse, forcing him to seek treatment.
He described it as a rib injury and said it was likely to keep him out of Argentina's Davis Cup match at Sweden beginning March 3. He didn't know what caused it, and he said he'd never had a similar problem.
Argentina is already without injured David Nalbandian and Juan Martin del Potro.
"I was playing very well and had a good chance to win the match," Monaco said. "It's a shock. The impact is tough for me. Surely I'll miss the Davis Cup."

David Stern delivers annual address
Updated: February 20, 2011, 11:24 AM ETBy Michael Wallace | ESPN.com
LOS ANGELES -- As the NBA's owners and players struggle to move toward a new collective bargaining agreement, commissioner David Stern said Saturday there are striking similarities between the differences that separate the sides now and the ones that led to the 1998 work stoppage.
"We had a huge gap back then, and we have a huge gap now," Stern said during his annual state of the league session with reporters before Saturday night's All-Star events at the Staples Center. "But you work hard ...

Based on kernel version 4.3. Page generated on 2015-11-02 12:50 EST.
1 PHY SUBSYSTEM 2 Kishon Vijay Abraham I <email@example.com> 3 4 This document explains the Generic PHY Framework along with the APIs provided, 5 and how-to-use. 6 7 1. Introduction 8 9 *PHY* is the abbreviation for physical layer. It is used to connect a device 10 to the physical medium e.g., the USB controller has a PHY to provide functions 11 such as serialization, de-serialization, encoding, decoding and is responsible 12 for obtaining the required data transmission rate. Note that some USB 13 controllers have PHY functionality embedded into it and others use an external 14 PHY. Other peripherals that use PHY include Wireless LAN, Ethernet, 15 SATA etc. 16 17 The intention of creating this framework is to bring the PHY drivers spread 18 all over the Linux kernel to drivers/phy to increase code re-use and for 19 better code maintainability. 20 21 This framework will be of use only to devices that use external PHY (PHY 22 functionality is not embedded within the controller). 23 24 2. Registering/Unregistering the PHY provider 25 26 PHY provider refers to an entity that implements one or more PHY instances. 27 For the simple case where the PHY provider implements only a single instance of 28 the PHY, the framework provides its own implementation of of_xlate in 29 of_phy_simple_xlate. If the PHY provider implements multiple instances, it 30 should provide its own implementation of of_xlate. of_xlate is used only for 31 dt boot case. 32 33 #define of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate) \ 34 __of_phy_provider_register((dev), THIS_MODULE, (xlate)) 35 36 #define devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate) \ 37 __devm_of_phy_provider_register((dev), THIS_MODULE, (xlate)) 38 39 of_phy_provider_register and devm_of_phy_provider_register macros can be used to 40 register the phy_provider and it takes device and of_xlate as 41 arguments. For the dt boot case, all PHY providers should use one of the above 42 2 macros to register the PHY provider. 43 44 void devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(struct device *dev, 45 struct phy_provider *phy_provider); 46 void of_phy_provider_unregister(struct phy_provider *phy_provider); 47 48 devm_of_phy_provider_unregister and of_phy_provider_unregister can be used to 49 unregister the PHY. 50 51 3. Creating the PHY 52 53 The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers 54 to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY. 55 56 struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, struct device_node *node, 57 const struct phy_ops *ops); 58 struct phy *devm_phy_create(struct device *dev, struct device_node *node, 59 const struct phy_ops *ops); 60 61 The PHY drivers can use one of the above 2 APIs to create the PHY by passing 62 the device pointer and phy ops. 63 phy_ops is a set of function pointers for performing PHY operations such as 64 init, exit, power_on and power_off. 65 66 Inorder to dereference the private data (in phy_ops), the phy provider driver 67 can use phy_set_drvdata() after creating the PHY and use phy_get_drvdata() in 68 phy_ops to get back the private data. 69 70 4. Getting a reference to the PHY 71 72 Before the controller can make use of the PHY, it has to get a reference to 73 it. This framework provides the following APIs to get a reference to the PHY. 74 75 struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 76 struct phy *phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 77 struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 78 struct phy *devm_phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 79 struct phy *devm_of_phy_get_by_index(struct device *dev, struct device_node *np, 80 int index); 81 82 phy_get, phy_optional_get, devm_phy_get and devm_phy_optional_get can 83 be used to get the PHY. In the case of dt boot, the string arguments 84 should contain the phy name as given in the dt data and in the case of 85 non-dt boot, it should contain the label of the PHY. The two 86 devm_phy_get associates the device with the PHY using devres on 87 successful PHY get. On driver detach, release function is invoked on 88 the the devres data and devres data is freed. phy_optional_get and 89 devm_phy_optional_get should be used when the phy is optional. These 90 two functions will never return -ENODEV, but instead returns NULL when 91 the phy cannot be found.Some generic drivers, such as ehci, may use multiple 92 phys and for such drivers referencing phy(s) by name(s) does not make sense. In 93 this case, devm_of_phy_get_by_index can be used to get a phy reference based on 94 the index. 95 96 It should be noted that NULL is a valid phy reference. All phy 97 consumer calls on the NULL phy become NOPs. That is the release calls, 98 the phy_init() and phy_exit() calls, and phy_power_on() and 99 phy_power_off() calls are all NOP when applied to a NULL phy. The NULL 100 phy is useful in devices for handling optional phy devices. 101 102 5. Releasing a reference to the PHY 103 104 When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference 105 to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The 106 PHY framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the PHY. 107 108 void phy_put(struct phy *phy); 109 void devm_phy_put(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy); 110 111 Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the PHY and devm_phy_put 112 destroys the devres associated with this PHY. 113 114 6. Destroying the PHY 115 116 When the driver that created the PHY is unloaded, it should destroy the PHY it 117 created using one of the following 2 APIs. 118 119 void phy_destroy(struct phy *phy); 120 void devm_phy_destroy(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy); 121 122 Both these APIs destroy the PHY and devm_phy_destroy destroys the devres 123 associated with this PHY. 124 125 7. PM Runtime 126 127 This subsystem is pm runtime enabled. So while creating the PHY, 128 pm_runtime_enable of the phy device created by this subsystem is called and 129 while destroying the PHY, pm_runtime_disable is called. Note that the phy 130 device created by this subsystem will be a child of the device that calls 131 phy_create (PHY provider device). 132 133 So pm_runtime_get_sync of the phy_device created by this subsystem will invoke 134 pm_runtime_get_sync of PHY provider device because of parent-child relationship. 135 It should also be noted that phy_power_on and phy_power_off performs 136 phy_pm_runtime_get_sync and phy_pm_runtime_put respectively. 137 There are exported APIs like phy_pm_runtime_get, phy_pm_runtime_get_sync, 138 phy_pm_runtime_put, phy_pm_runtime_put_sync, phy_pm_runtime_allow and 139 phy_pm_runtime_forbid for performing PM operations. 140 141 8. PHY Mappings 142 143 In order to get reference to a PHY without help from DeviceTree, the framework 144 offers lookups which can be compared to clkdev that allow clk structures to be 145 bound to devices. A lookup can be made be made during runtime when a handle to 146 the struct phy already exists. 147 148 The framework offers the following API for registering and unregistering the 149 lookups. 150 151 int phy_create_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, const char *dev_id); 152 void phy_remove_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, const char *dev_id); 153 154 9. DeviceTree Binding 155 156 The documentation for PHY dt binding can be found @ 157 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt

Car Bomb Theory front man Mike McKay plays stunt cock to Amy, Alyssa Star and the rest of this cute cast hoping to be in the video (music video, that is).

Quick GuideWomen's Health: A Visual Guide to Uterine Fibroids
How is adenomyosis diagnosed?
The true diagnosis of adenomyosis is only possible with actual microscopic examination of uterine tissue. This means that it is ultimately diagnosed after hysterectomy. Sometimes the results of a physical examination and/or ultrasound examination may suggest the presence of adenomyosis.
How is adenomyosis treated?
Pain medications are used to relieve the cramping pain of adenomyosis. Currently, the only effective treatment for adenomyosis is a hysterectomy, meaning removal of the uterus. This requires a recovery period and carries the risk of surgery and anesthesia, as described previously. The decision as to whether or not to have a hysterectomy depends on the severity of the symptoms and the overall health of the patient. Controlling the menstrual cycle through hormonal contraception (the pill) or use of other hormones may provide some symptom relief.
What are uterine polyps?
Polyps of the uterus are benign overgrowths, or bulges, of the normal tissue lining the uterus into the uterine cavity. Polyps may also be found in the uterine cervix. Polyps are usually attached to the underlying tissue by a base or stalk, and they vary in size. Polyps only rarely contain cancerous cells. They are most common in women in their 40's and are rare in women under 20 years of age.
What are the symptoms of uterine polyps and what do they look like?
Uterine polyps may not produce any symptoms. However, some women may experience:
- Irregular vaginal bleeding
- Heavy menstrual bleeding

Taxidermy for Toddlers! The Plush Bear TrophySunny Chanel
Does you child, or perhaps you, have a bit of a dark sense of humor? Are you more prone to read the Addam's Family than Family Circle? Does your family enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas more than A Charlie Brown Christmas? And are you drawn more to hues of blacks and earth tones than pastel pink or baby blue? For those big and small – who like things a wee bit morbid there is the Plush Bear Trophy…
Forget the big real game souvenirs of lions, tiger or bears (oh my!). This is a far kinder and more humane way of taxidermy. Mounted on a traditional wooden back, the adorable white or brown bear's heads look down from their perch. But one good thing about these trophies, you're kid will never lose their favorite teddy bear, it'll be right there on their wall at all times!
You can order this from the amazing Paxton Gate store in San Francisco right here for $58.

Thanks for the heads up. I was planning to merge this after 0.9.1, but I'll run some benchmarks first.

Boppy or My best friend pillow?
I used a boppy, and I LOVE it, it's sucha life saver!!!
Merlin Hadens Mommy
August 23,2008 6:20pm
Personally I am HUGE fan of the Boppy. I got one with my 1st DD back in 2001 and it was a godsend both for breasfeeding and for her to sit in, lay on and so on. There are so many more choices with the Boppy and improved upon an already amazing pillow since then. I used the same boppy for my 2nd DD, but now will buy a new one with # 3 comes along EDD 7/3/09. Honestly, it's a great pillow and made breastfeeding that much easier and being able to put the girls in the opening on the couch, floor, and so on was soooo nice. Everyone I know since then has always gotten a Boppy and never had a bad thing to say...
Good luck deciding
I have 2 Boppys, 1 for downstairs, 1 for upstairs. They are great! Never tried the other ones so I don't have an opinion.
OH- if you have Marshalls stores in your area they usually have Boppys with covers on them for $19.99, WAY cheaper than anyplace else.
Proud mommy to E: 08 and O: 11
I haven't tried the Brest Friend pillow, but I do have a Boppy. I don't really like it for BFing. I think it's too big or something; we just can't get comfortable with it. Since the Boppy wasn't working, I just don't use any pillows, so maybe it's just me.
I do use it for my baby to sit on, though.

My husband loves the boppy for naps...lol. My baby is too big for the boppy now...
Vivian- loving my husband since 9/22.
Our family became complete on January 6th. Two boys and we're done!
The My Breast Friend is by far the best nursing pillow of the 2. I have/had both. My sis gave me her ratty ole' mbf when my ds was born. I turned my nose up at it b/c I had a new boppy. DD came along and I found I liked having one upstairs and one down. I pulled out the mbf and ended up loving it.
The My Breast Friend is so much more supportive than the boppy. It has a flat top so baby can actually stay on top of it better. It actually wraps around you and has a buckle (the old ones had velcro) that hold the pillow on you. Very good back support onthe back. With the buckle the baby never falls down in between your body and the pillow. That's one of the big issues with the boppy. It's a great pillow and I like it but it is not nearly as supportive as the mbf and since there is nothing actually holding it on you, baby has a tendency to slide down.
I would choose the mbf over the boppy any day of the week. It is truly a great pillow. I like the boppy but the mbf is far more functional when it actually comes to nursing a baby.

I ABSOLUTELY love the My Breast Friend pillow! My only gripe it that it's often hard to find extra covers for it, so I had to order an extra cover online. The Boppy just wasn't formed well, in my opinion, whereas the MBF was desgined for breastfeeding. (If I'm not mistaken, the Boppy was designed to support kids when sitting and for other baby-centric purposes, and then moms started using it for BFing, so it's now marketed for both. But it wasn't specifically designed for it like the MBF one was!) My old Boppy has lost its shape and the stuffing hasn't held up well, so it would be useless for BFing the one I'm expecting in April ... but the foam for the MBF is like brand new (and I bought it second-hand and have let friends borrow it!).

Blessed to be wife to Lee and SAHM to our rambunctious preschool sweetie and our laidback little boy!
I had both and ending up using MBF more than my Boppy. A coworker said I had to have one and I'm so glad she did. Excellent support and buckles around your waist. I'll be finding a new home for the Boppy and stashing MBF in hopes that one day DH will agree to having another baby.
I prefer a Boppy because it has so many other uses. DS is sleeping curled up in his beside me as I type. It's great for propping him up so he can see me while I'm putzing around the house. And I know I'll use it as he starts to sit independently (they sometimes fall straight back like a fallen tree!). I do think the My Breast Friend is probably a little better for nursing (I used it in the hospital) but I just didn't want a big flying saucer pillow taking up so much space. Even while I was nursing in the hospital I would often find it easier just to plunk a regular pillow under my arm rather than strapping the big MBF on.

I'm going to need to set up video conferencing between Hawaii and Seattle for a small business.
They would like to use a mounted TV to do the video conferencing. It will be one TV to one TV communication.
One option would be to go with Polycom's HDX 6000 series telepresence solutions. I think this device needs a server like Microsoft Lync.
They don't seem to list their prices on Polycom but a google search says the hardware costs about $5000. Lync standard editon costs $699. Total cost for two Polycom's and one Lync server: $10,699
This would be secure, HD, and would offer more features than we need.
Another option would be to use Skype enabled TV's or blu-ray players, which would cost a total of $600 for two sets.
This would also be secure, and HD.
Is the obvious answer to use Skype? Am I missing anything?

The Billboard Exclusive Q&A: Axl Rose
It's been nine years since Axl Rose gave a substantial print interview. For all that time and more, he's been working on the album "Chinese Democracy," which finally arrived in late November.
It was an arduous process, to say the least. Guns N' Roses haven't released a new song since 1999 or an album since a 1993 set of covers. Since then, Rose has toured sporadically, worked with a rotating cast of musicians - he owns the Guns N' Roses name, according to his attorney, Laurie Soriano – and recorded numerous versions of the same new songs. According to a 2005 article in the New York Times, Universal Music Group had spent $13 million on "Chinese Democracy" by then.
The album came out in the United States as a Best Buy retail exclusive and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 261,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. To date, it has sold 537,000 copies in the States, far fewer than the 1.3 million that Best Buy bought upfront, according to the Wall Street Journal. But the album has sold 2.6 million copies worldwide, according to Universal, a number that counts only retail purchases and the company plans to start promoting another single soon.
Some industry executives have blamed the album's disappointing sales on Rose, who hasn't made a video, announced a tour or given interviews. Others point to Best Buy, claiming the chain didn't make the album as visible as last year's other major retail exclusive, AC/DC's "Black Ice," which was sold only at Wal-Mart. Until now, Rose himself has remained silent, except for a series of postings on some Guns N' Roses fan Web sites.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have plenty to say about his new album, his former bandmates and his label, Interscope, a subsidiary of Universal. (The label declined to comment.) Rose answered two series of questions via e-mail, in which he discussed for the first time the events surrounding the release of "Chinese Democracy" and his frustrations with Interscope. In a separate phone interview, longtime Guns N' Roses (and former Replacements) bassist Tommy Stinson echoed Rose's sentiments.
Rose's answers appear here almost exactly as he sent them, edited only for grammar, length and clarity. The obvious question: Why talk now? Rose says he "felt it was a good time to address some of these issues publicly."

I posted a new album http://www.collegedozen.com/fite-nite-shoot/ and it shows the photos all pixelated in regular size rather than as a thumbnail. But, if you click on them, they show up fine.
I have other galleries on the site, like http://www.collegedozen.com/bailey-andress/ that show up fine so I'm not sure why this one is being weird.. I'm guessing it had something to do with having all of my files transferred over from a different domain name.

text: latino Long 'Suffocated,' Latinos Earn Two Spots On Yakima City Council By Rowan Moore Gerety • Nov 4, 2015 Rowan Moore Gerety / Northwest News Network Listen Listening... / 1:51 Yakima voters made history Monday by electing two Latino candidates to a city council that has long wrestled with the implications of the city's rapidly growing Latino population. Latinos At Highest Risk for Air Pollution, Study Says By Liz Jones • Nov 2, 2015 SounderBruce / / FLICKR Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 1:19 Neighborhoods where non-English speaking Latinos live, tend to have the most toxic air quality. That's according to new research out of Washington State University. The Hispanic World's Contributions To Classical Music By Jessie Jacobs • Aug 6, 2015 Concierto, WDAV Classical Public Radio Frank Dominguez has been part of classical music on public radio for more than 20 years – experience he mixes with his Hispanic heritage to produce and host Concierto, the nation's first bilingual classical show which you now hear Sunday afternoons from 2 to 4 on your NPR and Classical Music Service. Every week, Concierto takes a look at the deep roots Hispanic culture has in the classical genre and includes a roster of composers and musicians from all over the world. Target Takes Aim At Its Newest Core Customers: Latino Millennials By Rowan Moore Gerety • Mar 6, 2015 Rowan Moore Gerety / Northwest Public Radio "There will always be a part of you that simply doesn't translate." That's the slogan Target used in a new social media campaign with the hashtag #SinTraduccion, or "untranslatable." The campaign is aimed at Hispanic millennials, a demographic Target—the nation's fourth largest retailer—now counts as its core customer group. By one estimate, the buying power of U.S. Latinos overall is three times what it was in the year 2000: $1.5 trillion and counting. Federal Judge Rules Against City Of Yakima In Voting Rights Challenge By Rowan Moore Gerety • Feb 17, 2015 liz west / Flickr A federal judge ruled against the City of Yakima in a voting rights challenge Tuesday, setting the stage for a new era in Central Washington politics. The ruling calls for an overhaul of Yakima's City Council elections to better represent the will of Latino voters. Judge Thomas Rice's order followed his ruling last August that Yakima's at-large City Council races suffocated the Latino vote. The city's Latino population is over 40 percent and growing, yet no Latino has ever been elected to City Council. For Catholics, One Church, Two Congregations By Rowan Moore Gerety • Jan 5, 2015 Rowan Moore Gerety December 12 is the biggest day of the year for St. Joseph's church in Yakima. It's standing room only as more than 1000 people gather to celebrate Mexico's Patron Saint, la Virgen de Guadalupe. After the service, a mariachi band serenades the congregation. Volunteers serve up Menudo and Mexican hot chocolate. There's only one thing missing: parishioners who attend the English mass. Though the Catholic Church has long been known as a haven for immigrants, many parishes remain divided along ethnic lines even after decades of demographic change. At-Large Elections Just One Barrier To Latino Vote In Eastern Washington By Rowan Moore Gerety • Sep 22, 2014 Mel Green / Flickr Last month, a federal judge ruled that Yakima's City Council elections stifle the voice of Latino voters in the city. But that verdict doesn't apply to dozens of other places in Eastern Washington where Latinos are just as underrepresented in elected office. In communities like Othello, leaders are grappling with broader problems of civic education and participation in local government. Why Washington Wants More Latinos To Go Fishing By Courtney Flatt • Jun 25, 2014 Courtney Flatt / EarthFix The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is trying to get more Hispanic people fishing. And they'd like to get them to buy fishing licenses. That'd produce more revenue for the state. For EarthFix, Courtney Flatt has more. How Do You Get Latino Kids Into Classical Music? Bring The Parents By Mandalit del Barco • May 27, 2014 Outside the concert hall at Occidental College, in Los Angeles' Eagle Rock neighborhood, children are invited to test out the instruments the Santa Cecilia Orchestra will play later. Alexa Media Rodriguez, 8, says she and her family have never before been to an orchestra concert. She heard about the orchestra when some of the musicians visited her school. "I brought my dad, my stepmom," she says, "my sister, my brother and my sister's cousin ..." That's the thing about this orchestra, says conductor Sonia Marie De Leon De Vega: The children are bringing the parents. As A Latina, Sonia Sotomayor Says, 'You Have To Work Harder' By editor • Jan 13, 2014 Like most sitting Supreme Court justices, Sonia Sotomayor is circumspect when talking about the court; but she has written intimately about her personal life — more so than is customary for a Supreme Court justice. "When I was nominated by the president for this position, it became very clear to me that many people in the public were interested in my life and the challenges I had faced," she tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "... And I also realized that much of the public perception of who I was and what had happened to me was not quite complete." Pages1 2 3 next › last »

New Adventures in Composition
Certain words in the arts lexicon raise red flags for me. "Soundscape" is one of them. It suggests I'll wind up in an uncomfortable chair listening to single notes of music arranged in a way that is outside my comfort zone. For hours.
So the SONiC (Sounds of a New Century) Festival, a nine-day survey of contemporary concert music beginning Friday, didn't exactly have me at "hello." Says the brochure: "A decade into this new millennium of ours, the soundscape of our time is being written and rewritten by a new generation."
Red flags waving around, yes, but there's also a compelling point: An entire generation of young composers has followed Philip Glass, Steve Reich and John Adams, and it's not exactly basking in attention.
"We're looking at composers that have come of age in the last 10 years and are making their voices heard," said the festival's co-curator, Derek Bermel. "There are 120 composers involved, but there could have been 120 more."
Their names may not be broadly familiar, but during the SONiC Festival—presented in various locations by the Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University and American Composers Orchestra—their work will be performed by ensembles that have garnered some attention, such as the International Contemporary Ensemble (which lit up the Mostly Mozart Festival this summer) and the Grammy-winning six-piece Eighth Blackbird. And the concerts are not in bohemian venues with uncomfortable chairs. They're in 11 locations ranging from Symphony Space to Carnegie Hall to the 92YTriBeCa. (Well, at least the chairs start out comfortable.)
My pick, though, is for the program slated for the Joyce SoHo, "New Sounds, New Moves" (Oct. 19-21), which matches four choreographers with four composers, and is a direct outgrowth of previous efforts among New York artists to find one another: Since 2006, the Joyce SoHo has hosted an occasional series of "speed-dating" sessions for composers and choreographers. With laptops and headphones, the composers share their work with dance artists looking for new music, with both sides looking to find like-minded collaborators.
SONiC's Mr. Bermel had participated in an early session, and while talking to one of his festival's artists (the Argento Chamber Ensemble's conductor Michel Galante), the idea of including the dance world came up. Mr. Bermel then reached out to Joyce SoHo program manager Cathy Eilers, who put together another meet-and-greet in May. Some of the resulting pairings will be on stage next week.
"Live music and live dance is a wonderful thing to experience. Often it doesn't often happen together. There are different funding sources," said Mr. Galante, whose Argento Chamber Ensemble will perform three of the four pieces of music created for "New Sounds, New Moves."
Mr. Galante contributed a composition—which includes two marimbas onstage—to which choreographer Miro Magloire added a narrative dream duet for two women. Mr. Magloire is best known as the founder of the New Chamber Ballet, a small ensemble that gives intimate, beautiful performances at City Center Studios. For this project, he's using a more modern dance idiom. And because Mr. Galante gave him a rough recording of the music just a few months ago, Mr. Magloire found his process hastened considerably. "Usually," he said, "I'll listen to music for two or three years, then I feel I know it well enough."
A much different process emerged for New York-based composer Konrad Kaczmarek, who is pursing his doctorate in composition at Princeton University, and choreographer Rebecca Stenn, a Juilliard graduate who founded her dance company in 1996. After meeting at the Joyce SoHo session, the two decided to hash out each step of their collaboration together. "We have spent hours and hours improvising in the studio," Ms. Stenn said.
Their piece is a solo dance set to Mr. Kaczmarek playing piano, with digital manipulations; a portion of the final work will be improvisational. Said Ms. Stenn, "We are extremely sensitive to each other."
The one-hour program will also include choreographer Deborah Lohse, who has created a film to be shown with live music by composer David Fulmer. And composer Michael Klingbeil has created music with piano and playback for a five-dance work by choreographer Darcy Naganuma.
While this dance program is just one slice of a much larger music festival, it's a quick double-dose of what's happening now. If you want the big picture of new 21st-century music, SONiC will present more than 50 premieres. "It's not who's the most famous or most cool. It's a snapshot of a generation," said Mr. Bermel.

Apple 1, the original computer model hand made by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs will go under the hammer at Christie's in London on November 23.
The lot comprises a fully assembled motherboard, a handful of extra components including a microprocessor and extra RAM, and a letter signed by Mr Jobs, CEO of Apple.
The circuit board, numbered 82, is one of only 200 built before the development of the Apple II, meaning it is unlikely to be one of the first 50 sold to The Byte Shop, an early computer store, according to The Mac Observer.
Christie's said the Apple 1 is presented in its original packaging – a cardboard box – complete with all documents, manuals and cassette interface.
Apple 1 was the first personal computer to feature a pre-assembled motherboard, representing a significant step forward from contemporary models which buyers had to solder together.
The computers, priced at $666.66, were sold for 15 months before being discontinued in October 1977, and it is estimated that as many as 50 still survive.

U.K. Defense Specialist Qinetiq Tests Water for Sale of U.S. Arm
Qinetiq Group Plc, the former U.K. defense-research laboratory, said it's evaluating the level of demand for a potential sale of its U.S. services unit.
The McLean, Virginia-based business, which provides services including ground support, lab operations and flight systems engineering at the Kennedy Space Center, is being subjected to market testing as part of a viability review.
"What we want to make sure is that we understand what the potential maximum value of that business is," Leo Quinn, London-based Qinetiq's chief executive officer, said in a telephone interview. "The strategic review is considering what is going on in the market. We have no preconceived outcomes."
The U.S. government-services sector has been in a state of flux as spending is cut, with underlying operating profit at the Qinetiq unit down 30 percent to 9.4 million pounds ($15 million) in the fiscal first half, according to a statement today.
Shares of Qinetiq, which said net income in the six months to Sept. 30 was little changed at 62.1 million pounds, advanced as much as 9 percent and were trading 6.8 percent higher at 210 pence as of 9:58 a.m. in London. The stock has added 14 percent this year for a market value of 1.4 billion pounds.
The business review is due to be completed this fiscal year and may or may not lead to a transaction, Quinn said, adding that the U.S. unit's profitable Cyveillance business, which alerts clients to cyber attacks, is not part of the appraisal.
U.K. defense-services company Babcock International Group Plc sold U.S. operations last year after a similar study.
U.S. markets are also becoming more competitive, impacting margins and delaying contract awards, Quinn said. The company is seeking growth from the Middle East, where he said there's a good order flow despite booking delays, Canada and Australia.
Qinetiq, whose main activities include evaluation of military aircraft and development of unmanned drones, would retain a U.S. reach even if it sold the services division after splitting off defense and intelligence operations.

How do i remove the lines from the social bar background?
How do i remove the lines from the social bar background?
Are you using a child theme or a custom CSS plugin?
Not sure i understand....inside the celestial theme, if i click customize your site and open up the color box i see a bunch of options. One of those options gives you the ability to change the color of the social bar background. Let's say i want to change it to white....when i do that a bunch of lines show up...i am assuming this happens because of the way it was created. How do i remove the lines?
Best to use the child theme that is included in the child theme folder of the theme for these kind of changes but you will be editing the code that is in the header.php and about line 77 you would take out this code:
url('<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() ; ?>/images/socialbar-bg.png') repeat 0 0;
Because this is coded as a partial inline style, a CSS Editor may not be successful. When you edit the above code out, make sure the other part of it that does the background colour stays intact because it's part of the theme option settings.
Go to Appearances > Customize > Social Networking.
Check "Hide Social Bar Background Lines"

Good morning to the net/BBS. I know everyone has different ideas as to what's fun. This includes amateur radio operators. But could someone please explain to me the attraction to digital satellites? I've worked analog sats and enjoy doing it. And when I can afford it I enjoy trying something different. I've done some terestrial packet and used it to get updated keps years ago and ended up being totally bored with it. I admit I don't have an interest in running a packet BBS and if I had maybe I would develope a queriosity about satellite packet. Maybe it's because I have know idea what information is being sent via sat-pac or something. To my knowledge, I don't have anyone locally who is working the digital birds so maybe if a couple of you using this mode would drop me a line and let me know just what your doing and what the interest is I'd appreciate it.

I really like it, the melody is strong all the way through. I was skeptical at first about the start, but now I think it fits really well. The bit where the melody cuts out could use a bit of work, as if it was a carpet, that part would be fraying
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I'm not a big fan of the percussion, However everything else sounds damn solid. I liked it over all. Personally I would make it a bit longer. You have nice melodies and a good mix, expand on it!
Thanks, my friend said something very similar! Thanks again for the feedback ^_^

Released: May 01st, 1991
Running Time: 90
Director: Chris Alexis
Company: Arrow Video
Cast: Patricia Kennedy, Le Anna Foxxx, April Rayne, Tera Heart, Holly Ryder, Madison (I), Trinity Lorian, Melanie Rose, Busty Bell
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Just look at that cast. Can you possibly believe a contest between all those actresses for who can tape the hottest, wettest sex scene to be anything but bizarre, steamy and just plain exciting? Eiffel Towers will b going up in living rooms all over America with this one. Did I mention that the grand prize is that all the rest of the ladies go down on the winner?
The too-little=seen Busty Belle, who's looking better than ever, goes down on Melanie Rose in the middle of a mountain stream. (Wet enough for you?) And if these somehow weren't to your liking, look for dual dildoing, nipple rings, Mt. Rushmore, Holly Ryder, the reappearance of Busty Belle, strange tattoos, the Calamity Jane Memorial and, of course, the big orgy scene at the end. ("Too bad we have to wait till then to see the Madison/Kennedy team in actin.) What is a real shame is that apparently the money they spent hiring these terrific actresses left nothing in the budget for a script or decent camerawork. This should be the sort of material AAAA's are made of! But even with that caveat, this is still wall-to-wall beautiful, talented women. Miss it at your peril.

In the inaugural season of the shootout (2005-06), superstars were called upon to try to win the game.
Often, that failed miserably -- Joe Sakic (0-for-7), Jarome Iginla (1-for-9), Ilya Kovalchuk (1-for-10), Mats Sundin (1-for-7) and Dany Heatley (2-for-8). Last season, many of the league's top scorers again failed to deliver in the clutch – Vincent Lecavalier (3-for-12), Alexander Ovechkin (2-for-12), Sidney Crosby (5-for-15) and Evgeni Malkin (3-for-12).
So just who is scoring in shootouts?
They are rarely the guys leading the league in points. Some don't even see time on the power play. Others are basically fourth-line players. Still, with the game on the line, these are the players who are front and center, driving goalies nuts, scoring the deciding goals and making the highlights on "SportsCenter."
In this week's 10 Degrees, we look at the top shootout stars since the format's inception.
10. Ales Hemsky, Edmonton (10 goals, 27 attempts)
No one has scored more shootout goals this season than Hemsky (four). The Oilers forward already has scored shootout winners to beat Anaheim and Minnesota. Hemsky doesn't get rattled regardless who's in net because his moves and quick release beat big, agile and/or aggressive goalies. This season, he has scored twice on Roberto Luongo, once on Jean-Sebastien Giguere and once on Josh Harding.
9. Brian Gionta, New Jersey Devils (11 goals, 24 attempts)
The Devils' little big man is so shifty and quick that he is one of the most feared shootout players in the game. In the 2005-06 season, Gionta scored 48 goals, 10 of which were game winners. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Gionta faces the game's best goalie, Martin Brodeur, in practice.
8. Brad Richards, Tampa Bay Lightning (11 goals, 21 attempts)
In regulation time, he's not even the league's top-scoring player named Richards (see Mike in Philly); but when it comes to shootouts, Brad Richards is in a league of his own. The former Conn Smythe Trophy winner has a flare for the dramatic, scoring on more than 50 percent of his shootout attempts. Richards has never had a 30-goal season in the NHL, but he is a former 70-goal scorer in junior and knows a little something about finishing when the game is on the line.
7. Sergei Zubov, Dallas Stars (12 goals, 25 attempts)
A three-time NHL All-Star and two-time Stanley Cup winner, Zubov has a wealth of hockey experience. It also doesn't hurt that he has one of the most accurate and hard shots in the league. Zubov is one of only a handful of defensemen you'll find as regulars in the shootout. He is one of the game's best puck handlers, and his booming shot keeps goalies off balance. In a shootout, he is not afraid to wind up and let it blast. If he sees the chance to deke, he is more than capable of skating around even the quickest goalies.
6. Pavel Datsyuk, Detroit Red Wings (11 goals, 21 attempts)
Right now, no one is as lethal in the shootout as Detroit's Datsyuk, who has scored on his past three attempts. He has nearly as many shootout goals this season (three) as regulation goals (five). He is one of the game's most patient scorers; he will wait until the absolute last second before committing to shoot or deke. Datsyuk is equally proficient on the backhand and forehand, which keeps goalies guessing.
5. Slava Kozlov, Atlanta Thrashers (13 goals, 20 attempts)
Kozlov is a student of the game, and his 16 years of NHL experience have come in handy when it matters most. A 10-time 20-goal scorer, Kozlov has made the shootout an art. His quick release and deceptively hard shot have overmatched even the best goalies. He has scored on eight of his past 13 attempts.
4. Jussi Jokinen, Dallas Stars (15 goals, 26 attempts)
Jokinen continues to drive goalies mad. His 10 goals in the first season of the shootout led the NHL, and he scored on his first nine attempts. His favorite move is to shoot low blocker, but he's not afraid to drag the puck with one hand and slide it past a sprawling goalie. Jokinen's 15 career shootout goals is an unprecedented mark. Not bad for a player who was stuck in the Finnish Elite League for four seasons.
3. Erik Christensen, Pittsburgh Penguins (10 goals, 17 attempts)
On a team with Crosby and Malkin, it's Christensen winning games for the Penguins when it comes to a shootout. The former junior star led the NHL with eight shootout goals last season (tied with Mikko Koivu), and he continues to stymie goalies this year with two shootout goals in three attempts. Christensen has a long reach, a great slap shot, and an uncanny ability to stop and change direction on a dime.
2. Paul Kariya, St. Louis Blues (12 goals, 19 attempts)
You have to wonder whether Canada might have won gold at the 1998 Nagano Olympics had Kariya been available for its shootout against Dominik Hasek and the Czech Republic. Kariya is still one of the fastest players in the league, and his mobility and stickhandling are second to none. A seven-time 30-goal scorer, Kariya has enough moxie to wait for goalies to commit before burning them with a quick deke or, his preferred move, a 5-hole shot.
1. Petteri Nummelin, Minnesota Wild (8 goals, 9 attempts)
After toiling around the Swiss league for five years, Nummelin has found a home in the NHL, thanks largely to the shootout. With just seven regular goals in his NHL career but eight shootout goals, this unsung defenseman is, by definition, a specialist. His 89 percent success rate in the shootout is impressive considering goalies collectively stop more than 67 percent of attempts.
As a player who rarely finds himself in scoring position during the game, Nummelin uses the element of surprise during the shootout. His incredible balance, stickhandling and smooth skating have allowed him to beat the likes of Luongo, Miikka Kiprusoff and Nikolai Khabibulin. Along with Mikko Koivu (8-for-16), Nummelin gives the Wild a one-two shootout punch. With close to 10 percent of games finishing in a shootout, Nummelin is a valuable asset as teams fight for points to get to the postseason.

In Dog Days, Jon Katz, the squire of Bedlam Farm, allows us to live our dreams of leaving the city for the country, and shares the unpredictable adventure of farm life. The border collies, the sheep, the chickens, the cat, the ram, and one surprisingly sociable steer named Elvis all contribute to the hum (and occasional roar) of Bedlam. On timeless summer days and in punishing winter storms, Katz continues his meditation on what animals can selflessly teach us–and what we in turn owe to them. With good neighbors, a beautiful landscape, and tales of true love thrown in, Dog Days gives us not only marvelous animal stories but a rich portrait of the harmonious world that is Bedlam Farm.
Praise for Dog Days:
"Anyone who has ever loved an animal, who owns a farm or even dreams of it, will read Dog Days with appreciation and a cathartic lump in his or her throat."
–The Washington Post
"Katz proves himself a Thoreau for modern times as he ponders the relationships between man and animals, humanity and nature, and the particularly smelly qualities of manure."
–Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Katz constructs the perfect blend between self-revelation and his subtle brand of humor."
–The Star-Ledger
"City-dweller-turned-farmer Katz . . . returns with further adventures from his animal-filled upstate New York sheep farm. Charming."
"The perfect summer book . . . You will not be disappointed."
–The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A new twist on the American dream."
–The Christian Science Monitor
"Thoroughly enchanting."
–The Dallas Morning News
About the Author
Jon Katz has written many bestselling books about his dogs, including "A Dog Year". His first book for children, "Meet the Dogs of Bedlam Farm", also features his photography. Mr. Katz lives in upstate New York.
Praise For…
Praise for Dog Days
"Anyone who loves animals or country life, but maybe can't have a pet or actually live in the country, will find Katz a perfect armchair companion."
–Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Despite the book's title, there's more here than dog stories. . . . An appealing text showing off an author who's found his perfect genre. Readers can only hope these appealing and thoughtful dispatches will continue."
–Kirkus Reviews
"A must-read for all animal lovers."

Quick click by section:
Week 24 schedule | Favorable matchups | Unfavorable matchups | Daily picks
On tap: Martin Brodeur takes aim at the all-time record for wins, needing one to tie Patrick Roy -- and that win might come as early as March 14 -- and two to set a new standard. With four games this week, and only a pair on back-to-back nights (Tuesday versus Chicago, Wednesday at Carolina), it's a mark he'll most likely set mid-week. Brodeur is 6-1-0 with a 2.08 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in seven games since returning from elbow surgery, amazingly recapturing his status as fantasy's top goaltender without any need for an adjustment period.
The grid below details all 30 NHL teams' Week 24 schedules. In order to help those of you targeting quantity of games, teams with the most games this week are listed first. Ties are first broken by greater number of home games -- a home game is almost always better than a road one -- and then alphabetically by team.
Quantity might be all well and good for some fantasy owners, but not for all. Quality matters, too, so if you're picking and choosing from individual matchups -- most important in daily leagues or those with caps on games per position -- I'd take a look at the following four teams as strong Week 24 stat sources:
Canucks (DAL, STL, @PHO): Though the Canucks remained reasonably quiet at the trade deadline -- perhaps because they already made their big add in Mats Sundin several weeks earlier -- they've been playing like a team with added punch the past month-plus, going 12-3-1 since the beginning of February. Like those good Buffalo teams from the past few seasons, the Canucks are getting contributions from deep down their lineup, including lesser names like Alexandre Burrows (7 goals, 5 assists, plus-8 rating in his past 11 games) and Ryan Kesler (5 G, 4 A, plus-5 in his past 11). Oh, and of course, there's that Roberto Luongo fella -- he's 12-2-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .915 save percentage in his past 15 games, one of fantasy's best during that span.
Penguins (ATL, LA, PHI): Here's a squad that tends to play with a bit more "oomph" in home games, and be aware the Penguins classify as "red hot" besides, winners of nine of their past 11 games, with one of those losses coming in the shootout. The trade-deadline additions of Bill Guerin and Chris Kunitz have paid huge dividends; they have combined for one goal and seven assists in the team's past four games. But they're not the only ones who have hopped aboard the must-start fantasy bandwagon; kids Kris Letang (2 goals, 3 assists in his past six games) and Jordan Staal (3 G, 2 A in his past seven) have improved their play of late and warrant activating.
Senators (BUF, MON, NYI, @NYR): If you've been a faithful Forecaster reader all season, surely you know I'm not much of a fan of Ottawa for fantasy purposes. It's really a three-player squad -- Daniel Alfredsson, Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza -- but in the case of favorable four-game schedules like this one, I'll make exceptions. Filip Kuba's flu should have subsided in time to reactivate him for Week 24; Mike Fisher continues to offer modest contributions, with three goals and four assists in his past nine games; and Chris Neil is back from a lacerated calf and ready to wreak havoc on the league in the penalty-minute department.
Sharks (@PHO, NSH, DAL, COL): This schedule couldn't come at a better time for the Sharks, a below-average, 7-7-5 team since the All-Star break, costing them their stranglehold on the West's top seed. It's an offense-friendly schedule, just the kind of thing they need, having totaled 56 goals in 21 games (and therefore averaged a middling 2.67 per) during that span; all four of these opponents ranks in the bottom half of the league in goals per game allowed. Joe Pavelski, in spite of a mediocre past three games, has three goals, 21 penalty minutes and 20 shots on goal in his past seven contests; Milan Michalek has three goals, seven assists and 31 SOG in his past 12; and Christian Ehrhoff has two goals and five assists in his past eight.
No, it's a trap! Unfavorable matchups
If you're picking and choosing your matchups, I'd do my best to avoid players from the following four teams. Keep in mind stud players -- like Jeff Carter -- on teams with poor matchups shouldn't normally be benched, but it's worth keeping their schedules in mind if you're deep in high-quality alternatives.
Blues (@EDM, @VAN, @CGY): Chris Mason might have brought to this team some stability between the pipes, with a 12-5-4 record, 1.96 GAA and .930 save percentage in 21 games since the All-Star break, but if you look at the rest of the squad, there isn't all that much else to like. Sure, Brad Boyes and Keith Tkachuk remain must-starts, but the team's three next-best fantasy considerations, David Backes, Andy McDonald and David Perron, have performed miserably on the road all season. Put their numbers together and they've amassed 24 goals, 31 assists, 15 power-play points and a minus-7 rating in 78 road contests. Ugh.
Flyers (@DET, @BUF, @PIT): What are the two primary things that have kept the Flyers from being lumped into the same class as Eastern powerhouses Boston and New Jersey? For one, the difference in their goaltending, and for the other, they're an elite squad on their home ice, but more of a league-average team in road games. Here's a team that has split its 32 road games for the season, averaging 2.69 goals per game, a significant drop-off from its 3.65 at-home average. Scott Hartnell, Mike Knuble and Joffrey Lupul might be decent fantasy starters most weeks, but not this one; combine their road numbers and they have 21 goals, 27 assists, 14 power-play points and a plus-5 rating in 94 games.
Islanders (@CAR, @OTT): From favorable schedule to totally unfavorable in a week, the Islanders made good on my Week 23 prediction and I can only hope I'm right they're due for a tumble this week. It's not like it's a bold call; this is a two-game week entirely on the road, unfavorable by most any standard. In a four-game week taking chances on the Sean Bergenheims and Blake Comeaus of the fantasy world makes sense, but in the short week, I'd go against the grain of the Isles' 5-1-1 hot streak and limit my choices to Mark Streit and maybe Kyle Okposo.
Stars (@VAN, @CGY, @SJ): Though the Stars did revive their playoff chances with a promising midseason hot streak, if you've been paying attention lately you'd know they've since cooled again, with an 8-10-1 record since Feb. 5. What's more, this is a mediocre team in road games, with a 14-15-4 record and averages of 2.64 goals scored and 3.18 goals allowed per game. Dallas is fighting for its playoff life, sure, but its offense can't expect Marty Turco to win on his own night after night. Those are three tough venues in which to play, against top-five teams in the West, no less. I'd wait until the Stars return home next week before trusting them again.
For those of you in leagues with daily transactions, I've picked a strong matchup on each side of the puck for each day of the upcoming week. My "defensive choice" doesn't always mean simply "play the goalie"; it means the goalie is a strong pick, but indicates every bit as much that the team will be safe and potentially productive in plus/minus. When possible -- and remember, some days boast fewer games than others -- obvious teams have been avoided in favor of sleeper-type selections.
Tristan's Three: Week 24 sleepers
• David Booth, LW, Panthers: He keeps on scoring for this team, up to 24 goals in 58 games after 22 in 73 the season before, and a lot of fantasy owners seem to have forgotten about him due to a recent funk. But Booth registered a hat trick on March 7, and he tallied a point in each of two games since, getting his game back on track. His number of shots on goal remains consistent -- between three and four per contest -- and he's a beast at home, with a plus-13 rating in 30 games compared to minus-2 in 28 on the road. Oh, by the way, Florida plays all three of its games at home in Week 24.
• Steven Stamkos, C, Lightning: The rookie has arrived! Fantasy owners were abuzz about this kid in the preseason, but unsurprisingly, it took him some time to get acclimated to NHL play. In the past several weeks, though, he has sure seemed to warm to it. Stamkos has four goals and four assists in his past eight games, has been consistently getting about 18 minutes of ice time per contest and generally has been firing the puck a good four times a game on average. Tampa Bay is merely playing out the string, and gets three home games against bottom-half-of-the-league defenses.
• Carey Price, G, Canadiens: He's owned in practically every fantasy league, sure, but most of his owners are probably scared to use him, as unproductive as he has been this season. So let this serve as my recommendation to get him back into your lineup through season's end, as the Canadiens appear to trust him once more as their starter, and are in a dogfight attempting to hold onto their current playoff spot. The stat you should know: Price was 15-5-0 with a 2.26 GAA and .931 save percentage after the All-Star break last season, and as I look ahead to Montreal's schedules the final four weeks, I don't see a single one I dislike, defensively speaking. They're all nicely balanced, three or more games apiece.

Richard Coughlan
Drummer and percussionist Richard Coughlan is one of the most important figures on the Canterbury Scene. He played with The Wilde Flowers and when they split he became one of the original members of Caravan.
The Wilde Flowers are widely regarded as the band that started the Canterbury Scene.
When the group broke up, the members all went their separate ways forming other bands on the Scene. Richard Coughlan joined the Wilde Flowers as a replacement for the original drummer Robert Wyatt. Wyatt wanted to spend more time as the singer and frontman, so a new drummer was needed.
Richard Coughlan describes how he became involved in the Canterbury Scene:
Caravan's original line-up was Richard Coughlan (drums), Richard Sinclair (bass guitar), his cousin David Sinclair (keyboards) and Pye Hastings (guitar, vocals). They released their first album in 1968 and eleven more, the last coming in 2004. The seventies were their heyday and during their life members came and went, filling various roles.
Only Pye Hastings and Richard Coughlan remained with the band throughout their entire life.
Today Richard Coughlan runs a pub in Canterbury.
