TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Give the latest round in ice dance's big rivalry to Meryl Davis and Charlie White.
The Americans won the Four Continents title Friday, but the big showdown with Olympic champions and training partners Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir fizzled after the Canadians cut short their free dance because Virtue felt tightness in her left quadriceps.
"They have gone through a lot this season," Davis said. "I'm not exactly sure what happened, but we don't really think about it too much. When we come into competitions, we worry about skating our best. When we leave a competition, we're thinking about how we can improve. I'm sure they are disappointed but we are excited and happy with how we skated."
Virtue and Moir won the Olympic and world titles last year, with White and Davis the runner-up both times. Virtue and Moir missed the Grand Prix series while she recovered from October surgery to relieve pressure in her legs. Davis and White dominated the competition in their absence, winning every event they entered.
With Virtue and Moir returning to competition in Taiwan, the renewal of the rivalry was eagerly anticipated.
The Canadians barely won the short dance to set up a high-stakes finale, but Virtue and Moir couldn't finish it off. Virtue had strained her quad in training before Four Continents, and the demands of their free dance aggravated the tightness, said Mike Slipchuk, Skate Canada's high performance director. They withdrew about 30 seconds into the program.
"It's nothing major. Nothing linked to the surgery she just had," Slipchuk said. "In no way are they looking at this changing their plans going into worlds."
Davis and White finished with 172.03 points after an impressive free skate, easily outclassing fellow Americans Maia and Alex Shibutani. Canadians Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier of Canada were third.
Davis and White now turn their attention to next month's world championships, where they will try to become the first Americans to win a world or Olympic title in ice dance.
"Coming into this season, we were looking to improve our skating after such a successful year last year. We wanted to try to take things in a little bit of a different direction with our free dance being a tango this year. It started off a little bit rough, but we're pleased with the progress we've made," White said. "We are still really looking to the worlds, that's what we've been building toward. That's the one that counts the most in our books."
Earlier Friday, Olympic silver medalists Pang Qing and Tong Jian turned in a strong free skate to win their fifth pairs title. The world champions wowed the crowd with a precise and fluent skating display, scoring a season's best 128.04 points for a total of 199.45.
"I hope we will do better in next month's world championships because today we were not totally in control," Tong said.
Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford were second with 181.79 points and Canadian teammates Paige Lawrence and Rudi Swiegers were third with 171.73.
Earlier, world champion Daisuke Takahashi of Japan surged to a commanding lead after the men's short program with 83.49 points. That put him comfortably ahead of Jeremy Abbot of the United States, who had 76.73 points. Japanese rival Yuzuru Hanyu was third with 76.43 points.
The Four Continents, which features skaters from the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania, concludes Sunday.

"Hi, Windy City!" Chicago by hunterV
Chicago Travel Guide: 5,959 reviews and 12,276 photos
I was honored and privileged to stay in the US as an exchange teacher with a group of Ukrainian educators, winners of Parners in Education contest, in the fall of 1999.
Although I had a chance of staying in Chicago for only two days and two nights, I managed to see and to experience a lot.
Our hosts, American Councils for International Education, did their best to make our stay there unforgettable and organized a stay in Chicago for us.
We stayed at Congress Plaza Hotel in Michigan Avenue and had lots of excursions and visits to the museums.
We went there from Green Bay, WI, where we had our internship.
Now I know that Chicago is sometimes called Windy City not because it has the strongest gales, but because of its long-winded politicians.
I'd like to come back to this wonderful city some day.
Let's hope for the best.
- Pros:Michigan Avenue, Lake Michigan, Museum Campus!
- Cons:Very busy traffic
- In a nutshell:Nice to visit in any season!

Nice page! I always enjoy the observation towers.
Nice memories! I hope I will have chance to professional education abroad.
I have changed planes several times in Chicago, but didn't have the opportunity to explore it. It looks like a fantastic place to visit. Thanks for sharing your adventure here!
I spent a few days in Chicago on one of my daughter's business trips. You may find some familiar sights on my pages. I enjoyed the city too. It was much nicer than expected and I found much to amuse myself even when Susan was working and I was alone. Loved the river through the middle!
So, Chicago is the windy city? Love that tittle! Always a joy to read your tips and view your pictures!
I had to laugh when i read your explanation of why Chicago is considered the windy city:) did you enjoy chicago pizza?
From what I have seen of Chicago on your page, I like it very much! Great informationen! L.
Is this one of your favourite cities?
I am glad you got to Chicago. It is a great place. I loved the CIA Museum.
Vitor, I too was surprised by how much Chicago impressed me with its architecture and friendliness! Great tips and it looks like you really enjoyed your time there! I too ended up at the amazing Museum of Science and Industry.

I want to collect information on what sudoers actions a user can perform on a server. From what I've read, you can do this with the command
sudo -l -U username. However, one server that I have has a slightly older version of sudo (1.6.7p5) and the -U option doesn't seem to exist (I don't own the server so I can't just upgrade to a newer version of sudo).
Has anyone ever had to collect sudoers information for all users on a server? How would you recommend doing it?
EDIT: This has to be an automated process, so "just look at the sudoers file" won't work.

ODT Online
ODT /directory
The release and quick withdrawal of some NCEA results early
this morning has upset students and been described by one as
"highly unethical".
NZQA has said that results would be released sometime this
week, yet some students say they were able to log in and see
them this morning.
Only some students had access to their results, which was
later revoked.
In a statement issued this morning, NZQA explained that the
mix-up was because of a "normal process" whereby NCEA results
are run early morning as a "final check" before the formal
announcement that results are available.
And some students happened to be online between 6.25am and
6.30am when the "test" results went up, the statement said.
"Any results that were visible this morning were a part of
testing only. Results are not official until they are
released," NZQA said on its Twitter account.
Yet this testing was met with confusion by students waiting
anxiously for their results.
Fred Saty asked: "Why did you even put "prelim" results up?
How stupid, pretty sure you have successfully confused and
frustrated every student."
Christopher Nairn wrote that some results were out today, but
NZQA then took them down again and delayed the process 24
"Explain why suddenly, when results are done, we're denied
them an extra 24 hours," he asked.
NZQA maintained that results would not be out today, stating
there was no exact date for their release.
"It is a long process to ensure all data is correct [and]
ready to be released so that all students get the
[qualifications] they have earned."
One Herald online reader, who did not want to be named,
wrote: "The fact that some students could login and see
preliminary results, which I believe will be identical to the
final results ... is highly unethical." (sic)
NZQA is asking all students to wait until the announcement
that final results have been released and are available on
their website.
"To avoid uncertainty learners will not be able to log in
until results are released."
Results will be released this week, the statement said.

Politics Lieberman Looking Confident
Which leads a New York Times writer to ask: Could Joe Lieberman actually pull this thing out?
« Dakota Fanning: No Rape Scene ... | The Forever Tax »
Which leads a New York Times writer to ask: Could Joe Lieberman actually pull this thing out?
Not without massive crossover voting by the GOP.
That headline is priceless.
Maybe he knows that "funny voting machines" will be used.
pull what out...his head?
It's interesting to see the pro-Lamont blogs trying to dampen expectations the last week or so, presumably with the purpose of fighting complacency and getting out the vote. But I also think that a lot of them expect Lieberman to win after all and don't want such a result to be construed as a failure for the netroots. Rather, they want to focus on how impressive it is that Lamont went from nothing to favorite in a matter of months (not that the netroots can take full credit, but it's been a boon for the anti-war side in general).
Dan there's nothing defunct about your funny politician name definitions. Santorum was a good start. Let's all do what we can to get new definitions out there. Please att Lieberman to your website. -
Lieberman - noun - A clot of blood than forms on an infant's penis if the Rabbi doesn't suck the blood away quick enough. -- The Rabbi used his tongue to dislodge the Lieberman that had formed on the penis. (There are three stages required for the performance of a ritually correct circumcision in Jewish law: the removal of the foreskin; the tearing of the underlying membraene so as to expose the glans completely; and the sucking away of the blood, m'tsitsah)see- http://www.sexuallymutilatedchild.org/mohel.htm
we already told you, Dan Fan, cut it out.
hatred of anyone for religious reasons is just plain uncool and stupid.
What's wrong with hating Christians? Seattle is the least religious region in the nation. If you are a "sensitive about religious jokes" type, you might consider a Red State. Religion is a sham, and there's nothing wrong with hating all the damage religion causes in the world.
Yeah, sucking blood out of a baby boy's penis because the Bible tells you to makes plenty of sense to me. As long as god tells you to suck blood out of a baby boy's penis no one has a right to question you.
P.S. you might want to see the recent New York Times article about the Rabbi in Brooklyn who gave herpes to a couple of kids doing this. One of the baby boys died. But hey! God told him to right?

Content and structure
The BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles: Embroidery course is situated in the School of Design and Technology and is for students who want to be innovative textile designers for the fashion industry. Textiles demand an inventive approach to design and realisation, and this course focuses on creative approaches to the development and realisation of contemporary fashion textiles. We believe that technology and skills inform the design process and foster creativity. You will be able to explore surface pattern and texture for fashion fabrics through a variety of traditional craft and contemporary embroidery and embellishment processes. The course benefits from the most extensive range of embroidery craft machines within the UK, as well as the latest equipment for digital embroidery production, laser cutting and engraving. You will also study a range of print processes which will extend your potential for creative design. Through learning skills, applying technology and developing your individual creativity you will become an innovative and original textile designer able to design for international markets ranging from high street to couture. The course will develop your skills in research, drawing, design development and presentation, fashion textile development and manufacture, 3D awareness, fashion textile forecasting and trend development, market analysis, and awareness of forward thinking textile and fashion concerns such as sustainability and ethical issues. The course is fashion focused with opportunities to experiment, apply and inspire technical, creative collaborations across courses including pattern cutter, menswear and womenswear students in the 3D realisation of your textile designs. This collaborative practice is established through appropriate sponsored projects and cross course partnerships in the first and second years of the course and may lead to collaborations where final year textile students and final year fashion students work together to produce a complete textile and fashion product range. During the course you will undertake a range of projects, many of which are in conjunction with specific labels or companies, or are for a particular sector of the market. This wider involvement with industry and society is invaluable to your development as a designer, as is the opportunity to enter national design competitions and take part in collaborations across the College on specific external projects. The short work placement will enable you to experience the reality of working within a particular company, together with the chance to make useful contacts for your future career. Students are encouraged to enter suitable international and national competitions, and our students have been particularly successful, for example, first prize and runner-up places in the student competition for 100 Years of the Chelsea Flower Show, judged by Laetitia Maklouf and Maria Grachvogel. Work from final year students has been featured in international publications including Vogue, Tatler Magazine, FASHION 156, IDOL Magazine and InStyle.
BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles: Embroidery is based at Lime Grove in Shepherd's Bush, just west of Holland Park and Notting Hill. The area, which is rich in cultural influences from across the world, is home to Shepherd's Bush Market and the many fabric shops lining the Goldhawk Road, which sell a good variety of fabrics, including silks, at extremely competitive prices. There are many restaurants, cafes, delis and food stores, as well as the market, which reflect the many cultures of the people living there. Nearby is the Shepherd's Bush Empire, an excellent venue for live bands, and the Westfield Shopping Centre, one of the largest retail complexes in Europe. Holland Park with its Orangery and Leighton House Museum are both worth visiting.

Course units
Year One
In the first term you will study two units.
Introduction to Study in Higher Education: Fashion Textiles gives you an understanding of your personal and professional development at university, with three core purposes: to introduce you to the necessary learning skills for undergraduate study; to show you where you are situated within the College and the University; and to help you understand what you will learn on your course and how you will develop your skills.
The Design andTechnical Process unit introduces you to textile design research methods and their relevance and application to the design process and the realisation of ideas. You will learn the importance of research in informing the originality of design and its realisation. Visual communication through an emphasis on drawing and exploration of techniques will be encouraged and you will be introduced to ways of recording your work in a visually stimulating, exciting and informative way by exploring a variety of methods and media. You will develop creative ideas that relate to and expand upon your visual references, and you will be introduced to and start to use the resources for embroidery to produce creative samples and consider 3D realisation. Induction in the Materials Library informs your knowledge of fabric identification and sourcing for fabrics for your embroidery specialism.
In the second term you will study two units.
Introduction to Cultural and Historical Studies introduces you to key concepts and ways of thinking about fashion and its context in society and culture. You will attend lectures, seminars and workshops, and do a significant amount of reading of academic texts in order to complete a formal academic essay for assessment. Completion of this unit will allow you to make an informed choice of subject for study in the second year Cultural and Historical Studies unit.
Creative Context gives you the opportunity to build on your research, design development and technical core skills by conducting independent design and market research. You will develop design concepts and realise and present original samples through your specialism. This will give you experience of problem solving through using technical production methods. You will further develop your drawing and presentation skills, as well as learning IT programmes for design development, communication and presentation. Your development and use of colour in designing a range of textiles will be an important aspect of this unit.
In the third term you will do the Introduction to Industry Practice unit which introduces you to working collaboratively in design teams to answer a simulated or professional brief. You will attend business and marketing lectures to inform the design philosophy and its appropriate market level that team members will work together to develop. This will determine the nature of the textile design that the team will produce as core pieces within a capsule collection. The team will collate relevant information, challenge and expand upon creative concepts and theories and relate this knowledge to working practice. You will learn about brand identity, market levels, customer profile, pricing and range building. This unit encourages team members to collaborate with each other to produce the best possible outcomes, and you will develop your networking, communication and presentation skills through creative problem solving. The use of CAD for the development of fashion textile design and presentation will be promoted.
Year Two
In the first term you will be able to study a Cultural and Historical Studies unit of your choice that will broaden or deepen your learning of areas relating to your interests in your chosen field. You will have the opportunity to participate in lectures, seminars and workshops with students from other courses within your School, and will read relevant academic texts and complete a formal academic essay for assessment.
Also in the first term, the Future Craft unit gives you the opportunity to consider the future of textile design through research and consideration of the environmental, social and cultural impact of your textiles on a global level. It will prepare you to predict, influence and inform forecasting as well as increasing your contextual knowledge, design development techniques and technical skills within your pathway. There will also be an emphasis on professionalism through portfolio presentation and the development of interpersonal skills through formative peer presentation. You will be asked to explore the possibilities of creating and promoting a range of fashion textiles to external clients, including real or simulated industry contacts, and / or cross course designers. You will further develop processes within the 2D and 3D translation of ideas, with a dual emphasis on the innovative use of hand / traditional / craft techniques and digital processes in order to create contemporary considered design proposals. Your use of appropriate industry-relevant software packages will be further developed in conjunction with the design and technical skills sessions, and these should be used as a vehicle for both experimentation and clear communication of ideas.
In the second term the Research Methods unit provides you with an opportunity to explore and experiment with different critical and methodological approaches to research, while also introducing you to a range of established research methods and the role of research within design and technology. The unit forms an introduction to the Contextualising Your Practice unit and establishes the relationship between theory and practice. You will also consider the relationship between primary and secondary sources, ways of developing and originating research, and methodologies for realising the research in a formal manner appropriate to your subject specialism. You will analyse the applications and any limitations. You will formulate a plan for future research into your subject specialism and construct a research proposal and presentation. This will prepare you for later projects where considerable research skills are needed to underpin your work.
Also in the second term the Designer Identity unit consolidates your learning so far and challenges you to consider your place, role and identity in the fashion textiles industry. You will explore your own design aesthetic and will investigate and produce a body of work that shows an individual and directional response to client, market and product. The research methods that you are studying simultaneously will underpin the initial stages and allow you to explore and develop a concept and subsequent themes. You will evidence research, analysis, design development, experimentation and manufacture through your design outcomes. There will be an emphasis on awareness of the market, and you will be expected to critically evaluate the quality of your design collection.
In the third term the Work Experience and Professional Studies unit gives you the opportunity to further develop your skills learnt on the course and apply them within a professional working environment. You will experience real industry problems and working practice and will be able to look at the ways in which the professional team members operate. You will be able to judge what opportunities exist for your career progression. You will be expected to take an analytical and reflective approach to the placement and you will produce visual and written material that documents your increased understanding of your experience.
Terms Two and Three will be reversed for some students to ensure that all students have a placement in industry.
Year Three
In the first term the Design Synthesis unit informs and prepares you for your Final Major Project and will allow a full investigation into an exploratory research and practical journey towards a body of work showing innovative design and technical experimentation with material, process and potential garment solutions in 2D and/or 3D to be considered, dependent on your specialism. You will be expected to engage in textile sampling and prototype testing in 2D and/or 3D for both your design and technical portfolios, and the focus is on using your skills to show extensive documentation of creative experimentation. You will identify your proposed market level and customer, and produce a Statement of Intent which identifies your brand ethos and core philosophy as a fashion textile designer, in preparation for your Final Major Project. The completed investigations will form the basis of your collection for your Final Major Project.
Contextualising Your Practice in the first and second term affords you the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the critical and analytical perspectives developed within cultural and historical theory and your ability to apply these in a specific study. You will research the topic you identified in the Research Methods unit, which will lead to the production of an extended essay. It is the opportunity for you to undertake a substantial piece of structured research that examines in depth practical and theoretical issues related to your field of practice; it will build on the critical debates and concerns raised throughout your course.
In terms two and three you will undertake your Final Major Project. This is the culmination of your undergraduate experience and gives you the opportunity to fully develop the work started in the Design Synthesis unit to produce a body of work that reflects a deep engagement with the exploration and development of your design ideas through to your final design collection. The final outcomes may be innovative individual fashion textile collections and / or 3D realisations through cross course collaborations with fashion pattern cutting students. You will be demonstrating rigorous analysis in the exploration and development of your design ideas for fashion textiles. You will be responding to and applying your findings, discovered through your investigation of the challenges of your chosen brief, and you will be evidencing your ability to construct, direct and organise an overall professional outcome, which will include a collection of fashion textile products, a professionally presented portfolio, supported by technical work and written analysis of personal career direction.

Airbnb, the online hotel distribution network seems to be a massive hit. Despite being a startup company that was found in 2008, Airbnb has grown to a successful network. There is a phenomenal growth every year and the CEO seems to be flaunting it. It is also adding up a lot of features for its users to grab more attention from people and is looking to extend its service across the globe.
Airbnb is a dangerous threat to the traditional hotels, boutique hotels, and you name it! People now prefer Airbnb to other private hotels for better and convenient service. The company also allows people to make money off empty apartments. It has also been hit with controversies but people still choose Airbnb for its awesome and efficient service.
Airbnb has even entered the corporate world by implementing cool features for business travelers. Many private hotels target business travelers, but now that Airbnb is targeting the corporate world, the pressure is on the private hotels. But several hotel managers refuse the company being a potential threat. Hotels that offer rooms for cheaper prices could fall behind in the industry if Airbnb provides apartments in the same location.
The company does not offer hotels with many facilities as private hotels. Many traditional hotels offer loyalty points to its users whereas Airbnb does not credit its users. But honestly speaking, Airbnb is slowly taking over the territories from the possession of traditional hotels, sincere condolence to the poor hotel managers!

I really don't know why I have seen a sudden uptick in the number of good emails that are going to my Google Mail spam box. I send most of my emails through Gmail because the amount of spam I get is incredible and the Gmail filters were the best I had found.
I might have seen about 1% false positives in the last few years that I have been using Gmail. But the number has skyrocketed and I am now seeing 20% or so false positives and oddly, almost all of the incorrectly identified email is from Republican and Conservative sources.
I admit I receive a large number of right leaning emails, but I am on almost as many Democrat lists that help me keep up with the "other side". They NEVER go to my spam box.
Perhaps it's a quirk. Or maybe it's a case where there is some type of coordinated effort on the left to sign up for right leaning emails and then report them as spam to get then erroneously sent to spam and ignored.
Then there is the possibility that Google, which is hardly Conservative friendly, has tweaked their spam filters a bit.
Whatever the reason, I have been spending a lot of time lately adding a "Do not send to spam" filter to messages in my spam queue.
Anyone else noticing this?
Just make sure you check your spam box often. I now have to.

- Conference date: 9–13 July 2012
- Location: Zaragoza, Spain
The assumptions are discussed under which the equations of the generalized non-equilibrium thermodynamics obtained by the moment and the Chapman-Enskog methods agree. The Chapman-Enskog method is known to be based on the perturbation theory with the Knudsen number as a small parameter. The parameter is introduced in the kinetic equation and the distribution function is expanded into a series in the small Knudsen number. We apply this procedure not to the distribution function, but to the expansion coefficients of the moment series. It can be shown that under special convolution of the resulting system of equations, one can pass from the moment equations to the Chapman-Enskog equations both in hydrodynamic and Burnett approximations. Here is exactly the same transition in the equations of generalized non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The structure of the heat and momentum fluxes, and non-physical fluxes entered into the Chapman-Enskog method is reproduced from the moment equations.

Novel neutral antagonist for the treatment of opioid-induced adverse effects

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): AIKO Biotechnology, Inc. is a start-up biotechnology company focused on developing safe and effective therapeutics for the management of pain and addiction. Opioid drugs are the standard of care in the treatment of pain. However, opioids produce a spectrum of adverse effects, including opioid-induced bowel dysfunction, that limit their clinical utility. Opioid antagonists have shown efficacy in reducing unwanted side-effects, but the antagonists themselves cause serious side effects (e.g., excessive abdominal cramping). Based on a new understanding of opioid receptor pharmacology, AIKO scientists have developed and patented the use of 'neutral' opioid antagonists that block the unwanted actions of opioid drugs, but have significantly lower side effects than currently used opioid antagonists. Results from this project will establish the feasibility of developing a lead drug candidate that is a peripherally-selective, long-acting neutral antagonist expected to block the unwanted peripherally mediated opioid side effects while preserving analgesic actions. Specific aims include: (i) determining the relative selectivity of the neutral antagonist for peripheral vs. central opioid receptors to define a therapeutic dosage range that relieves peripheral side effects without inhibiting analgesia; (ii) comparing the opioid withdrawal precipitated by the neutral antagonist to other antagonists under development showing that the AIKO neutral antagonist evokes limited adverse side effects; and (iii) determining the maximum tolerated doses (acute and sub-chronic) of the AIKO neutral antagonist as an early indication of its safety and tolerability for humans. Research will be conducted using established rodent models and procedures for evaluation of opioid pharmacology. These data are critical for discussions with the Food and Drug Administration that will lead to successful clinical trial design and an Investigational New Drug Application. This research addresses a significant problem with opioid analgesics, which solution will provide better management of addiction, treatment of acute and chronic pain, and relief from opioid-induced bowel dysfunction. Successful development of a neutral opioid antagonist will lead to safer, more efficacious pain and addiction management that is needed by millions of people each year. Opioid analgesics remain the standard of care for moderate to severe, acute and chronic pain, and are prescribed for millions of people each year. The use of opioids leads to adverse effects including opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (e.g., severe constipation, nausea and vomiting) and post-operative ileus. AIKO Biotechnology will determine the feasibility of using its proprietary peripherally restricted opioid neutral antagonist for treatment of adverse opioid effects, thereby decreasing morbidity and mortality associated with pain management.

and ITS toll on wildlife.
not "and it is toll on wildlife."
George Bush's team once again let Al Queda get away.
He chased them from Afghanistan into Pakistan where now the government protects them.
In other words, Bush's politices gave them a far stronger safe haven. We dare not mess with Pakistan.
Why aren't Democrats screaming that this is treason, cowardice, surrender?
Most of the "insurgents" in Iraq are NOT linked to Al Queda despite administration lies to the contrary as explained in the NYT opnion piece today.
But when we know about the REAL Al Queda -- BUSH LETS THEM GO.
Please fix the typo pointed out be #1. It's rather vexing.

Legislature declines to try veto override
Published: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
RALEIGH -- Legislators on Tuesday averted -- for now -- a veto showdown with Gov. Mike Easley by agreeing to work on a compromise that would loosen licensing rules for teachers and help shrink the state's teacher shortage.
House Speaker Jim Black said lawmakers won't attempt an override vote Wednesday when the General Assembly returns for the veto session called by Easley. Instead, Black and Senate leader Marc Basnight announced they will form a committee to resolve differences between state education officials and sponsors of the licensing bill rejected by Easley. The panel will include legislators, state education board members and educators.
The decision doesn't eliminate the option of a veto override later if a compromise can't be reached. The Legislature could act on the bill as late as next year. For now, however, a handful of lawmakers are scheduled to meet briefly Wednesday morning and go home.

In 2001, Blake Shelton debuted his superb career with the release of his very first single, Austin. This single was the first release from his first album, the self-titled Blake Shelton, and was a very popular single. It not only ranked first on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts but also went on to grab the Number One spot for a record five weeks, over a month long. And if that wasn't enough, Blake Shelton's first album was soon certified gold and two more songs from this album ranked in the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Blake Shelton's first album was released through Giant Records after which he was soon signed on by the record label, Warner Bros. Records.
In 2003, Blake Shelton released his second album. This album was titled as The Dreamer and was certified gold, followed soon after in 2004 by the album Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill. This album was also certified gold, a remarkable feature. With three consecutive gold certified albums and more than a million copies sold, Blake Shelton identified himself as one of the best country artists and in 2007, he released the album Pure BS, which was also as successful as his other albums and contained the hit song, Home, a cover of Michael Buble's original song. In 2008, Blake Shelton came out with his fifth studio album, an album titled as Startin' Fires.
After a one year gap, Blake Shelton was back in 2010 with not one but two different EPs; All About Tonight and Hillbilly Bone. These EPs paved the way for Blake Shelton's sixth studio album, Red River Blue released in 2011. The same year, he also became one of the judges and talent coaches on The Voice, a reality talent TV show on NBC, alongside Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green. This fabulous show is one of the most popular TV shows today in America and is also broadcast all over the world to an audiences tens of millions large in size.
Over the course of his popular music career, Blake Shelton has had seventeen of his fantastic hit singles rank high on the Billboard country music charts. Nine hit singles out of these seventeen have ranked Number One and these include the songs Austin in 2001, The Baby in 2003, Some Beach in 2004, Home in 2008, She Wouldn't Be Gone in 2009, Hillbilly Bone and All About Tonight in 2010, Who Are You When I'm Not Looking and Honey Bee in 2011. Roughly each and every Blake Shelton album has had one of its hit singles rank first on the charts, an iconic feat. And if that isn't enough, his 2011 album has had two of its songs rank Number One on the Billboard country music charts.
Blake Shelton started off in the world of music at a very young age when he was twelve years old by playing the guitar. By the age of sixteen, he had been performing spectacularly and even received the Denbo Diamond Award from the state of Oklahoma.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE Last week was April vacation week for all public schools in the state. Keeping with tradition, each branch held only brief, informal sessions during school vacation weeks and there were no roll call votes.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports the votes of local senators on three roll calls from prior sessions.
MORE LOCAL AID OPTION (S 2039) Senate 7-31, rejected an amendment to resolutions stating the intent of the Legislature to hike Chapter 70 school aid by $100 million and unrestricted local aid by $25 million. The amendment would provide that those amounts be the minimum amounts and allow the Legislature to later increase funding.
Amendment supporters said this would simply allow flexibility to increase this local aid funding if possible.
Amendment opponents said House and Senate leaders agreed on this amount and argued that any change would hold up the resolutions and delay letting cities and towns know how much they will receive.
A "Yes" vote is for the amendment. A "No" vote is against it.
Sen. Sal DiDomenico No
Sen. Kathleen Ives No
Sen. Patricia Jehlen No
Sen. Joan Lovely No
Sen. Thomas McGee No
Sen. Bruce Tarr Yes
REGISTRY MODERNIZATION (S 2023) Senate 10-28, rejected an amendment that would provide independent third-party oversight of a $63 million program to improve and modernize the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).
Amendment supporters said this massive IT project should have oversight to protect taxpayers� dollars and interests. They pointed to major costly problems with a recent IT project � the state�s Health Care Connector which has since cut ties with CGI Corp, the architect of the connector�s troubled website.
Amendment opponents said oversight itself will not solve the problems. They urged the Senate to wait until the Legislature considers a comprehensive IT bill including major reforms.
A "Yes" vote is for the amendment. A "No" vote is against it.
Sen. Sal DiDomenico No
Sen. Kathleen Ives No
Sen. Patricia Jehlen No
Sen. Joan Lovely No
Sen. Thomas McGee No
Sen. Bruce Tarr Yes
BRIDGE REPAIRS FIRST (S 2023) Senate 4-34, rejected an amendment that would prevent the undertaking of any new capital expansion transportation projects and instead prioritize projects and make the repair of structurally deficient bridges the first priority.
Amendment supporters said many bridges are in need of repair and without it, an estimated 500 bridges across the state will continue to be dangerous.
Amendment opponents said this ties the hands of Gov. Deval Patrick, whose administration ultimately decides which projects get funded. They noted this restriction would delay projects like the Green Line expansion, which is likely to get 90 percent reimbursement from the federal government.
Page 2 of 3 - A "Yes" vote is for the amendment. A "No" vote is against it.
Sen. Sal DiDomenico No
Sen. Kathleen Ives No
Sen. Patricia Jehlen No
Sen. Joan Lovely No
Sen. Thomas McGee No
Sen. Bruce Tarr Yes
LEGALIZE POT (H 1632) The Judiciary Committee heard testimony on a proposal that would legalize, license, regulate and tax marijuana and allow adults over 21 to grow it for their personal use and the use by others over 21.
PROTECT ANIMALS (S 1914) The Judiciary Committee also heard testimony on the Act Protecting Animal Welfare and Safety (PAWS) that would create a statewide registry of animal abusers that would have to be checked by animal shelters, pet stores and breeders before a person is allowed to buy or adopt the pet. Other provisions include establishing an anonymous animal abuse tip hotline; increasing penalties for cruelty to animals; and allowing law enforcement officers, in cases of emergency, to enter private property without a warrant to protect against the imminent death or serious injury of an animal.
The bill was filed in response to the "Puppy Doe" case in which a dog was euthanized in September after she suffered extensive injuries, including a stab wound to her eye and burns to her body.
FLUFFERNUTTER (H 2868) The House gave initial approval to a bill filed by former Rep. Kathi-Anne Reinstein of Revere that would make the Fluffernutter the state�s official sandwich. The Fluffernutter is a sandwich made of peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff, invented by North Shore natives Allen Durkee and Fred Mower and still locally owned and manufactured in Lynn. The bill has been filed for several years but has never made it through the Legislature.
The bill was first filed in 2009 in response to a proposal by Cambridge�s former Sen. Jarrett Barrios to limit the serving of Fluff to students in schools statewide to once a week. At the time, Barrios said he learned that his son had been served a Fluffernutter at his elementary school and that the sandwich is not a very healthy menu choice. Reinstein subsequently filed her bill and said it was important to defend and protect this local delicacy.
IMMUNITY FOR GIVING POOR RECOMMENDATION (H 4011) The House gave initial approval to a bill giving civil immunity to school administrators who "in good faith" disclose information about a former teacher�s or other employee�s job performance to a prospective employer. Supporters said this would help ensure that a school district could give a frank and honest response when asked for a reference check without fear of successful lawsuit by a former employee.
ANTI-BULLYING (S 2055) Gov. Patrick signed into law a bill adding some provisions to the state�s 2010 anti-bullying law that requires all public and private schools to develop and implement a plan to prevent bullying and to discipline bullies. The new law requires that each plan provide specific and additional protections for students who may be more vulnerable to become targets of bullying based on several factors including race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex and sexual orientation. It also requires schools to annually report bullying data to the state.
Page 3 of 3 - Supporters said these changes will enhance the law and save countless children from a lifetime of physical and emotional scars and worse.
TOILETS AND SHOWERS MUST BE EFFICIENT (H 4007) The House gave initial approval to legislation that would prohibit the sale of any plumbing fixture, toilet or urinal in the Bay State unless it meets the water-saving performance standards outlined in the legislation. Supporters said the bill will promote and ensure water conservation. They argued the bill is well balanced and allows manufacturers to be environmentally responsible while still providing a fair and reliable supply of products to consumers.
HOUSING AUTHORITIES (H 2128) The House gave initial approval to a bill requiring local housing authorities to post the names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of their commissioners on the wall of the community center of each of their housing developments and on their state websites.
Supporters said that currently tenants who need help have to call the Massachusetts Housing Authority and navigate through a maze of general information and listen to an extensive recording before they can even begin looking for simple assistance. They argued the bill would make it easier for tenants and applicants to reach their local commissioners and to contact building managers.
OFFICIAL COWBOY (S 1622) The House gave initial approval to a proposal making Rex Trailer the official cowboy of Massachusetts. The late Trailer, who died in January 2013, hosted the local children�s show "Boomtown" from 1956 to 1974 and was involved with many charitable causes. In 2012, before his death, the Tourism Arts and Cultural Development Committee recommended approval of the same bill. The measure was then sent to the Senate Ethics and Rules and no further action was taken on it.
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK�S SESSION? During the week of April 21-25, the House met for a total of one hour and 44 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 23 minutes.
