Interview with John Mayer, reflecting on 2013 Hall of Fame Inductee Albert King
The consistency with which John Mayer combines word craft and melody has earned him rarefied status as a respected songwriter and musician.
As one of few musicians to achieve both critical acclaim and popular appeal, the seven-time Grammy Award winner has earned accolades for each album release while selling more than 17 million albums worldwide.
Known as a musician who defies genre boundaries, Mayer is well known for collaborations with a range of artists. From rock to blues, hip-hop to jazz to country, Mayer has performed and/or recorded with Hall of Fame inductees Eric Clapton, BB King and Buddy Guy, as well as T-Bone Burnett, Herbie Hancock, Dixie Chicks, Jay Z and Alicia Keys.
On April 18, 2013, John Mayer will induct legendary blues man Albert King into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 28th Annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Mayer will also perform a tribute to Albert King with Gary Clark Jr.
In this interview with John Mayer, the musician reflects on the lasting influence of Albert King, including how King's music first resonated with him and why King belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rock Hall: What's your first memory of hearing Albert King's music – how old were you, where were you, what was the song, album, etc. – and what kind of impression did it make?
John Mayer: I first found Albert King's music through Stevie Ray Vaughan. More specifically, his interviews with guitar magazines. Stevie was such a student of blues guitar that he would always cite his influences, not just on his guitar playing as a whole, but specific songs. I remember adding Albert King to the "must listen" list and asking my Dad to drive me to the record store. I must have been 15 years old or so. The only album the record store had was I'll Play The Blues For You, and I played along with it for years. Looking back on it, I think I really connected not just with his guitar playing, but also the arrangements of the songs. The record came out on the Stax label in the '70s, so it borrowed from the Al Green school of soul, which was great to get under my skin without having known it.
RH: How would you describe Albert King to somebody who'd never listened to him before? What song would you tell them to listen to first and why?
JM: I would probably direct them to "Born Under a Bad Sign" since everyone's heard that song at least once in their life. I'd describe Albert King as an incredibly powerful player – literally. There's a real effort he's making – and I speak in present tense because his playing still exists on record – with each note he bends. And you can feel it.
RH: How has Albert King influenced or inspired you, and can listeners and fans of your music hear that influence anywhere?
JM: Albert's playing influenced me twice: once through Stevie Ray Vaughan and then directly through his own records. Oh, Albert's everywhere in my playing. Listen to the guitar solo in "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)" on Continuum, and you'll hear it. Even more so on the outro solo.
RH: Why do you think Albert King deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
JM: Because whether he's a household name or not doesn't matter. He's like a household sound. He's had a profound influence on guitar players – let's say guitar players who solo – the world around. His influence comes through loud and clear, and can't be diluted. If you play an Albert King riff, everyone's gonna know you picked an Albert King riff to play and that's how you're choosing to express yourself for that moment, through his vocabulary. If you can create new musical notes – and in Albert's case, they're two notes: the one before the giant bend and the one he shakes once he gets there – then I'd say you should be right up there with the legends of rock and roll.

HESPERIA -- A couple with a criminal past are behind bars after reportedly bringing two small children with them Wednesday evening to allegedly rob a Hesperia automotive business which then led to a 100-mile-per-hour chase, San Bernardino County Sheriffs' officials said Thursday.
"Deputies didn't know the children were in the vehicle when this all first started," said Sgt. K. Arlotti with the Hesperia station.
Tanasha Arche Parker, 37, of Rialto and Dwight Evans, 26, of Compton, were arrested Wednesday evening on suspicion of child endangerment, according to booking information. Evans, who was on community supervision though Californian's Prison Realignment Plan for being a felon in possession of a firearm out of Los Angeles County, was also arrested on suspicion of robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Parker, who allegedly fled from deputies, was also arrested on suspicion of felony evading. Both were booked into Victor Valley Jail, according to a news release.
Shortly after 5 p.m., deputies were called to the 14800 block of Bear Valley Road to an automotive business for reports of a man armed with a submachine gun, according to the sheriff's officials.
Reports show a man, later identified as Evans, demanded cash from an employee at the business but it wasn't immediately clear if Evans managed to get any money. An employee at the business, who asked not to be identified, said they try not to have too much cash on hand so if he did manage to get any money, it wasn't much.
Deputy John Clough with the Hesperia SMASH Gang Unit saw Evans run out of the business and managed to stop the fleeing man after a short foot pursuit, said Arlotti.
Parker, who was sitting in a vehicle in the rear alley of the business with the vehicle's passenger door open, sped off when she saw the commotion between Evans and Clough, according to authorities.
A deputy with the High Desert Special Enforcement Detail who was in the area, saw Parker get onto the 15 Freeway and speed south, according to the release.
Several deputies and the Sheriff's Aviation helicopter, 40-King, followed Parker as she drove at speeds reaching 100 MPH, Arlotti said.
"She never slowed down enough for us to safely so a PIT maneuver," said Arlotti who added under the sheriff's department's policy a PIT manuever may only be done at speeds of less than 30 MPH.
Parker eventually stopped on her own on the Cleghorn Road offramp in the Cajon Pass, officials said.
Parker was taken into custody and her two small children, ages 6 and 8, were turned over to Children and Family Services.
It was unclear if Evans was also the children's father.
Court records show the couple has been arrested once before in San Bernardino County for reportedly committing a crime together.
Evans and Parker were arrested and charged with burglary and attempted grand theft for an incident that took place in February 2011, according to Fontana Superior court records.
Evans eventually pleaded guilty to the burglary charge but all charges against Parker were dismissed, court documents show.
The Hesperia robbery investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hesperia station at 760-947-1500.

HYPOLUXO, FL -- Benchmark Games, best known for its amusement redemption devices, has developed its first bulk vending machine line. The factory's Beat the Alienz and Beat the Monsters venders are scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter.
The two machines offer different themes on the same playfield system, a vertical substrate composed of seven ramps. A vended gumball travels down the ramps as aliens (or monsters) emerge from the back of the playfield to knock it down into the vend chute. If the gumball makes it all the way down the course and into the hopper, the machine dispenses up to three bonus gumballs.
Both machines measure 25" W. x 18" D. and 71" H., and weigh 115 lbs. They are electronic, so both have sound effects and LED lighting. The top hopper holds up to 850 gumballs, and the manufacturer suggests a 25¢ vend price.
"These machines offer a unique twist on kinetic gumball venders," said Benchmark's Anthony Maniscalco. "We see crossover amusement and bulk vending concepts like this doing well in supermarkets, pizzerias, buffets and quick-serve restaurants."
Benchmark's bulk vending line was designed in-house and will be produced at the company's Florida factory.

Box Score (PDF)| Postgame Quotes | Notes
Video: Final Play | Jack's last-minute catch-and-run
On Field Highlights
PHILADELPHIA - Some costly turnovers put the University of Pennsylvania football team in a deep hole, but the Quakers fought their way back and had a chance to win on the game's final play. Senior Billy Ragone's pass to the back of the end zone was batted down as time expired and William & Mary held on for a 34-28 win at Franklin Field on Saturday afternoon.
Penn (1-3) fumbled twice inside its 25-yard line and trailed by 17 late in the third quarter. But Ragone threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in the second half to get the Red and Blue within six with 3:23 to play. He then drove the Quakers 59 yards in the final 1:30, but they were unable to score on four plays from inside the Tribe's 30-yard line, including a last-ditch Hail Mary.
On its second possession of the game, William & Mary (2-4) scored first with an efficient 83-yard drive that took just 3:04 off the clock.
Later, the Quakers took over at the Tribe 35-yard line when William & Mary was flagged on a punt for interfering with Eric Fiore during his fair catch attempt. With senior Andrew Holland under center, it took just seven plays to find the end zone - a three-yard rush up the middle from senior Jeff Jack - and tie the game with 5:13 left in the opening quarter.
William & Mary, visiting Franklin Field for the first time since 1992, reached the Penn 10-yard line on its ensuing drive, but settled for a field goal. A few minutes later, Fiore fumbled a fair catch attempt and the Tribe were back at the Penn 10. Five plays later, the Tribe led by 10, 17-7, with 6:34 to go in the half.
It looked as if the half would conclude at that score, but Jack was stripped of the ball as the Quakers tried to run out the clock in the final minute. William & Mary recovered with 34 seconds left at the Penn 25-yard line. A 22-yard scoring strike with 12 ticks left made it 24-7 at the break.
Penn's offense - which produced six more first downs than the Tribe, outgained the visitors (395-380) and outpassed them (246-220) - did most of its damage in the second half.
The Quakers scored on their first two drives after halftime. The first of which consisted of 12 plays and went 75 yards in 5:23 and ended on a one-yard touchdown pass from Ragone to junior wideout Ryan Mitchell - his first of the year.
William & Mary needed just five plays to go 80 yards and were quickly back up 17 midway through the third quarter.
The Red and Blue's second straight touchdown was aided by sophomore Kevin Ijoma's kick return to the Penn 45-yard line. Ragone was 3-for-3 passing to reach the William & Mary five-yard line. He then rolled to his left and sprinted to the corner of the end zone where he dove and knocked over the pylon to pull the Quakers within 31-21 with 4:18 to play in the third quarter.
The Tribe led by 13 when the Quakers reached the William & Mary two-yard line with just over eight minutes to play. But Ragone was stopped on a fourth-down run.
Undeterred, the Quakers defense forced a three-and-out and the offense took over in Tribe territory. Just 48 yards later, it was a six-point game. Ragone lofted a 15-yard pass to the back corner of the end zone and junior Conner Scott out-leaped his defender and hauled in his second touchdown of the season.
William & Mary had a chance to run the last 3:23 off the clock, but the defense forced a quick punt. It still looked bleak as the Quakers had just 1:30 left and the ball at their own 12. Three passes got the ball to the 25. Then Jack caught Ragone's pass, broke a few tackles and found daylight down the far sideline. He sprinted to the William & Mary 24-yard line before he was caught. The Quakers had 40 seconds to work with, but two incompletions and a sack left just a few ticks left. Ragone had to heave the final pass into the end zone, where it was knocked away by the Tribe.
Jack had a team-high 77 rush yards on 14 carries (5.5 yards/carry). He also had four receptions for 59 yards. Senior Lyle Marsh had a team-high eight catches that went for 47 yards and Scott led the Quakers with 74 yards on five receptions. Ragone was 21-of-35 for a season-high 207 yards through the air and added 39 yards on the ground.
Junior Sebastian Jaskowski led the team with a career-high 11 tackles. Senior Dave Twamley had a season-best eight tackles, as did senior captain Brandon Copeland, who also recorded his second sack of the year. Sophomore Jimmy Wagner had a sack and shared another with senior C.J. Mooney - the first of their careers.
Penn returns to Ivy play for the rest of the 2012 slate. The Quakers host their first league opponent at Franklin Field when Columbiavisits on Saturday. The Lions haven't won in Philadelphia since 1996. Kickoff is at 1 p.m.

This Week in Books 2/10/12
The elephant in the Amazon has been the subject of many an anguished quote from many an anonymous publishing executive, who are extremely nervous about What Amazon Is Up To With The Kindle And The New Amazon Publishing Imprint Thing. The latest notable entries in the field: Confessions of a Publisher: "We're in Amazon's Sights and They're Going to Kill Us", a profile of Larry Kirshbaum aka Amazon's Hit Man, and Worried Publishers Pin Their Hopes on Barnes & Noble.
I urge you not to read those articles all three in a row unless you want to get the sense that the traditional publishing industry is, um, a little nervous about how relevant it is in the future and mildly uncertain about what it should be doing.
All of this has Mathew Ingram from GigaOm asking: Hey publishers, remind us why you exist again?
I've been out of the publishing game a while, but it's worth taking a deep breath and remembering some things: a) This is still a print world (yes, still), and publishers are still best at getting paper to customers (yes, still). b) Some authors will still benefit from the collection of services publishers offer into the new era.
But also: Publishers must think about how their brands matter in the new era, especially to consumers, and how they can make themselves indispensable to an author's sales figures and bottom line. Right now they ain't getting it done by relying on authors for their own promotion and offering very little added value except for a few titles a season (who are often the titles that need the least boost).
But the sky isn't falling yet.
Whew! Meanwhile, Kassia Krozser at Booksquare previews the Tools of Change conference and tackles the perennial topic of print/e-book bundling.
Author Tahereh Mafi is giving away some rather stellar books on her blog! Click over and check it out! And speaking of Tahereh, she had a pretty awesome interview at Swoontini.
And in agenting news, BookEnds updated their publishing dictionary.
This week in the Forums: When to query an agent, the Do You Have a New Blog Post thread now has over 2,250 stellar entries, how do authors decide which part of a book to read at readings, the best dystopian novels, and what is your writing weakness?
And finally, there's cute, and then there's a baby bear playing with a baby wolf (via io9)
Have a great weekend!

I missed your "This Week in Books!"
I actually live in the UK, and I've heard a couple people say that we're about three years behind you Americans in terms of technology in publishing. Here, publishers are a big deal and the whole e-book fad is not really a fad.
If ever you get bored of e-books, Nathan, just pop over to London. (But you'd better do it within the next three years.)

Still a print world? Hard to argue if you include coffee table books, text books, and non-fiction. But I'd like to see how much of a print world it is if you are only talking about fiction. The fiction section at B&N is maybe 1/6th of the store.
I guess it doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time before B&N is out of business, and with the uproar going on right now regarding Amazon, I'm guessing time is shorter than any of us realize.

Good articles. I read all three of them in a row. :) Yep. You were right. I now have the impression you said I would have.

Great summary, as usual! The publishing industry articles are eye-opening.
I had my own somewhat frightening light-bulb moment in B&N a few weeks ago. For the first time, the book that interested me most on the shelves was one that I had already seen as a self-pub'd e-book online months before. I thought 'Well, duh B&N, the whole world new it could be a great read before you did! And the author probably gets a bigger chunk online anyway. Why should I buy it from you?'
It made me a little sad, because I've been so disappointed by the overall selection at B&N lately. This was just one more step to convincing me I'm better off searching for new reads elsewhere.
- February 10, 2012 at 1:09 PM
- Rashad Pharaon said...
Are we feeling sorry for the chains that put mom and pop bookstores out of business over a decade ago?
Or is it that, because B&N might go out of business, we feel sorry for publisher's margins being squeezed, and the possible atrophy this may cause to their workforce?
Their workforce will be fine. They will reinvent themselves. They will set up editorial firms, marketing firms, etc, geared to the iAuthors of the new publishing world (if Amazon succeeds).
But, more importantly, I ask myself, is Amazon helping or hurting authors by paying ridiculous advances and enabling them to easily publish their novels?
Granted, e-authors need to do their homework. They need to seek quality editors, publicists, and so on, as J.A. Konrath says, but I ask you: is this whole debacle helping or hurting authors?
Let's not forget, it all starts with the author. Not the publisher.

I agree about reading those links three in a row.
You know, everyone makes digital publishing sound so wonderful and traditional publishing so awful on the interwebs. I'm in digital and it's not all that wonderful. There are a lot of people who pretend to know what they are doing and don't. And people who shouldn't have voices now do have voices, which confuses new authors. After learning what I now know, from how bestseller lists are fixed to how digital publishers push and shove to make very little money, I'd still advise new authors to go the traditional route for now.
I believe that when everything settles down, which it will, there's going to be a lull that will make the real estate bust look like nothing. And that's because so much of what we read is mostly hype. Just based on digital prices alone (.99), authors can't make a viable living. And no one wants to work for next to nothing.

(Sorry to repost, Nathan, just thought I was too blunt)
So, glad this week in books is back! I really missed it!
That video is the cutest thing ever! :)
Fun interview with Taherah.
In terms of Publisher anxiety, thanks for sharing the links. And I love your "elephant in the Amazon" phrase!
In terms of the anxiety, I think it's really good that publishers are acknowledging that they are facing a daunting competitor. Acknowledging that is good, it may pave the way for them to take some action.
There are things they could be doing - like you said, Nathan - courting authors, developing loyalty, strengthening their imprint, offering stronger service packages. I hope they start soon, because I believe the train is moving really fast.
And they need to plan for a complete technology shift. It may take a few more years, but I believe e-book technology is the future. And I hope publishers look that in the eye and plan ahead. How they be relevant in a digital world. You can't deal with something unless you let yourself see it clearly.
As much as I love Amazon, and what it has done for the author, I want it to have competition. I'm a self-publisher advocate, but I'd love to feel tempted by the publishing world because talented people offered competitive and alluring services and royalty rates.
- February 10, 2012 at 10:46 PM
The Big 6 need Amazon. 50% of all books in the country are sold through Amazon, and 70% of all ebooks. What they're doing now with this boycott is a game. They don't have teeth.
The B&N and Friends boycott is really no big deal to Amazon Published authors. Hundreds of indies still carry the books, and the print versions are available on Amazon. The boycott might account for a couple thousand sales at the most. That might sound like a lot, but when you compare it to the tens (or hundreds) of thousands of copies some Amazon Authors sell digitally, it's barely a drop.
This boycott has shown the book stores true colors. They have finally come out and proven what I've expected for a while, and that's the fact they don't care about writers. Amazon has shown that both publishers and bookstores are meaningless, and the only people that matter in the entire chain are the author and the reader. Hard to swallow for bookstores, but it is a fact.
I will miss the bookstores when they're gone.
- February 11, 2012 at 11:45 AM
Nathan, I think that in your comment, "But the sky isn't falling yet," the operative word is yet. At least when it comes to the big publishing houses.
This week, Kodak completed its almost seven-year-old plan to get out of the digital camera business. It's not a business that can sustain a big company; digital photography has become the province of small companies that can live on paper-thin margins.
Recorded music used to be an entire industry with a few well-known labels. But with digital, it's not a business that can sustain a big company. You think iTunes is big business? What percent of Apple's sales come from the iTunes store, including iBooks and the App Store? In the past calendar quarter (Oct-Dec 2011), it was less than five percent of Apple's total sales.
We still have vinyl records and we still have CDs, we still have film, and we'll still have paper books. But they'll be niche markets for small companies to fill. And big companies can't live on the trifle that consumers will pay for digital goods; it's not a game that big companies can afford to play.

Well, interestingly, Amazon is said to be contemplating opening retail stores, in part I'm guessing because other bookstores aren't willing to carry their publishing imprints, and also, because "studies have shown" brick and mortar still drives the majority of book sales.
So, put me in the "sky is not falling" camp. I totally agree that many publishers have some work to do, and that branding is something more of them should be doing, as is doing a better job of promoting what they publish. But while there are a lot of things I'd change if I were Queen of the Publishing Universe, I actually don't think Amazon is going to end up owning it.

I read those articles, and I pretty much agree with them. Print is dying.
But a short time ago, the record store pretty much died.
With a Kindle, I rarely go into a book store anymore. And with the amazon app on my phone, I can scan the bar codes in B&Ns stores and see what price I can buy the same book for from amazon.
Is anyone really shocked?

That evening, El Periodquito, a newspaper from Maracay, Venezuela, also stated Cedeno has agreed to sign with the Cardinals.
The newspaper report includes the following quote attributed to Cedeno (translated into English). "I feel good, grateful for this opportunity that I have with St. Louis".
There has been no official confirmation from the team as of yet, however.
In 21 games in the Venezuelan winter league season, Cedeno's line was .268/.318/.366.

Have Fun And Get in Shape With Striiv's Motivational Features
This exercise device will have you feeling healthy in no time!
-Diana Denza
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to get in tip-top shape, life just became a whole lot easier. No, you won't have to spend all of your free time on the elliptical!
Striiv, a pocket-sized exercise device, has just received several brand new motivational features. Now, gals can get in shape at their own pace with a host of personalized challenges. Routines are shaped based on personal scores. This way, beginners (like me!) won't have to pant uncontrollably or struggle to keep up with the pros.
Another addition allows users to track how long they remain active each day. It also provides in-depth information like the number of steps climbed and calories burned. And if you stick to Striiv's MyLand game, you'll find new and improved details with continued use.
Users typically partake in the device's daily challenges and track progress through stats and graphs. You'll also enjoy original features like Striiv's Walkathon in Your Pocket, which converts the steps you take into charitable donations.
Read New Year, New You: 5 Celeb-Inspired Life Makeovers
"In just a few months on the market, Striiv has received praise from our users for its ease of use, motivational appeal, and charitable donation features, and now they're ready for more," David Wang, Striiv's CEO and co-founder, stated in a press release. "Data usage proves Striiv is motivating people to move. On average, our users are walking nearly 60 minutes a day and collectively have walked around the globe 15 times. That activity is paving the way for all the healthy benefits of exercise, from heart health to weight control to reduced risk for stroke and diabetes."
You can purchase the device on Amazon.com for $99. All new devices will include the new features. But if you already own one, keep an eye out for a free software update through Striiv Sync.
Now, everyone from workout buffs to techies can get moving the fun and easy way. So what are you waiting for?

AUDIO: Former Rep. Stokes headed up a JFK investigation
(Cleveland) -- In the late 1970s, then-Rep. Louis Stokes of Cleveland chaired an investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald likely did not act alone, and that the president's murder was likely the result of a conspiracy.
The Cleveland Democrat was chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations. Stokes tells WTAM 1100 the committee was formed in 1976, originally to look into the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., and that the committee then given the directive to look into the Kennedy assassination.
Stokes knew that the Warren Commission had done its own report, concluding that Oswald was the lone gunman, but his committee was determined to see if there were other facts that could be determined. According to Stokes, his committee obtained some evidence that wasn't available to the Warren Commission, some of which he says was withheld by the FBI and CIA. One piece of evidence that was important to Stokes' committee was a dictaphone recording that indicated that shots came from multiple directions, including the grassy knoll near where the president's motorcade traveled.
It was never determined who the possible second gunman was, and Stokes says the committee concluded that it was a bullet from Oswald's rifle that took the President's life.
As to which report the public believes most, Stokes says back in 1976, 80% of the public said in a national poll that there was likely a conspiracy involved in Kennedy's death, and he says that perception hasn't changed much since then.

BUSINESS VISION WORKGROUPS Infrastructure, Telecom and Wi-Fi Subcommittee "Sausalito a Broadband friendly community"
OVERVIEW The Infrastructure, Telecom and Wi-Fi Subcommittee was given the task of evaluating the City's current communications infrastructures: Cellular, Broadband, Radio, and Wireless. We also examined how they impact Residents, Businesses, Public Services and Visitors.
The Committee's evaluation found that the City needs to more aggressively support advances in telecom and digital technologies and encourage the installation of new systems as they emerge. By having state-of-the-art infrastructures that can support choice in wireless, digital and broadband technologies, the City will stimulate economic growth, entice new businesses, help retain existing ones, improve real-estate rentals and sales, and enhance public safety and our quality of life. INVENTORYWith limited time and Staff, the committee found the following: (This is not intended to be a complete telecom inventory) Currently there are fourteen (14) fixed cellular sites within the City and six (6) just outside City limits which supply mobile digital and phone services within Sausalito. The City is served by two main Broadband providers: AT&T and Comcast, who both have fiber optic nodes within the City. The Comcast system is a closed system and not available to others. There are smaller Broadband providers but they are using the AT&T infrastructure. It should be noted that AT&T is currently building a new Video and Broadband network throughout California which will directly compete with Cable Television suppliers. This network should bring new Broadband technologies and opportunities to Sausalito if sited correctly. Since the first installation of a telephone in Sausalito in 1890's, the town has been a pass-through for communication cables from San Francisco North. This is still true today with fiber and copper backbone cables traversing the Bridgeway corridor. Sadly, there are very limited local facilities (such as fiber nodes) to access these cables except through AT&T at their switching office on Turney Street. A very important issue brought to the attention of the Group was the need current and future businesses have for high-speed access - "A big pipe" to the Internet. These and other digital services are lacking, especially east of the Bridgeway corridor. This lack of infrastructure has caused businesses to leave Sausalito and deterred new ones from locating here. Lastly, there are about six (6) Wi-Fi hotspots within the City which are provided by public businesses to the public at no charge. A single hotspot is provided by the City at its Public Library. "VISION" SURVEY POINTS ADDRESSED On behalf of those polled, the Gene Bregman & Associates survey identified the desire for better cellular phone access in town, and the elimination of "dead spots". The Group looked at the current locations of cellular services and concluded that there were indeed areas that likely need improvement. The survey chronicled the desire for a City-wide Wi-Fi internet system. The Group reviewed the proposal for the Marin County-wide Wi-Fi system and concluded that while it would satisfy this need, the system is still in the conceptual stage. As to Sausalito installing a City-wide Wi-Fi or Wi-Max system, cost would be a major factor. Current projected installation costs are sixty thousand ($60K+) plus per square mile with a maintenance cost of eighty thousand ($80K+) plus dollars annually. These costs cannot be absorbed within the current City budget and would need to be supported through advertising and / or subscriptions. Additionally, although a City-wide Wi-Fi / Wi-Max system is a popular survey topic, actual annual use may not be sufficient to support the investment and / or entice a vendor to supply this service. Regardless of these challenges, the benefits of ubiquitous Wi-Fi / Wi-Max service throughout Sausalito would be of undeniable value to the City. RECOMMENDATIONSForm a Permanent Telecommunications Committee (Commission) A major finding by The Group was the need for a Telecommunications Committee / Commission (TCC) appointed by the City Council. Council should act on this proposal at its earliest convenience as there is clearly a benefit to forming such a group. Firstly, the TCC would advise Council and Staff on all communications issues affecting the City, and work as a liaison with providers and the City in siting future facilities. Secondly the TCC would act as a liaison between the City and vendors for all future installations and help City Staff enforce current codes, laws and contracts. Lastly, the TCC would work with prospective and current providers to ensure that existing and future facilities maintain adequate standby and alternative powering capabilities to help withstand outages due to catastrophic events. Survey the Needs of Landlords and Businesses within Sausalito A survey is needed to fully understand the communication needs of property owners and businesses within the City. This survey will help the City to develop new services along with future zoning and permitting amendments. This could be one of the first objectives of the TCC. Audit Current Telecommunications Infrastructure within Sausalito A full audit of electronic communications systems and infrastructures available to citizens and businesses does not exist and needs to be completed. Again, this would aid in future siting of these systems, along with assisting Staff with zoning amendments and the permitting process. During our investigation of existing facilities a very important issue came to our attention, Staff is not enforcing the Cities Telecommunications Ordnance as it relates to current cellular provider(s) renewals and RF exposure compliance testing which can directly affect public safety. As stated above the TCC could assist in resolving these issues. Encourage Cellular Micro Sites to Fill Dead Spots in Town There are reportedly numerous cellular service holes (i.e. dead spots) within the City where service is marginal or unavailable. This is largely due to cellular companies concentrating their services along the highway 101 corridor. The Group recommends that to alleviate any dead spots in Sausalito, carriers should be encouraged to pursue the installation of small, shared fill-in cellular sites using Distributed Antenna System (DAS) or other new microcellular technologies. These sites should have their antennas and radios shared by all providers so there is not a proliferation of individual carriers placing their own equipment in these areas. This will help to mitigate the overall impact of such sites, making them suitable in sensitive areas such as the Downtown Historic District. Alternatively, carriers should extend service from their existing sites using small remote antennas connected via fiber optic technologies. Such improvements are being implemented in similar situations elsewhere, and would lessen the impact that is associated with new large cell sites and their structures. The Group feels that micro sites have not been installed in the City due to the existing permitting process. Currently, if a carrier proposes a cellular site in town, the cost is the same for a large site as it is for a micro site. To encourage the installation of micro sites and the enhancement of existing sites, the City could offer incentives and or revise the permit approval process to favor these options.
Wi-Fi Throughout Sausalito The City must maintain an active role in Marin County's proposal for a County wide wireless Internet service even through it is still in its infancy. With planning for the County system progressing, Council and Staff need to be proactive in the process especially where it will impact Sausalito. The committee also recommends that all proposals should give heavy consideration to a hardened system that would resist natural disasters and still function. At the same time, the TCC could investigate the technical feasibility of a municipal and / or independent financing of a Wi-Fi / Wi-Max system exclusively for Sausalito. Wi-Fi Hotspots We propose a trial City-owned free Wi-Fi hotspot at the ferry landing extending out as far as current technology would allow. The node could be sited in the Visitors Kiosk or in partnership with the Sausalito Yacht Club. This hotspot would enhance commuters waiting time and could be a visitor's information tool to downtown business and City services. Annual funding could be supported with local online advertising. Lastly the Sausalito School District and / or the City should promote the installation of small public Wi-Fi hotspots at every one of the school buildings private and public within the City for the benefit of the students, their parents, and residents in these neighborhoods. An informal survey of Bayside Elementary and Willow Creek Academy shows that neither of these facilities is Wi-Fi enabled where Marin Academy is. These Hot Spots could be created using existing Internet connections at these schools at relatively little cost. The MLK recreation facility along with larger and more popular City Parks should also be Wi-Fi friendly.
CONCLUSIONThis report is submitted to the Sausalito City Council by the Business Vision Workgroups Infrastructure, Telecom and Wi-Fi Subcommittee. Our findings and recommendations should not be construed as all encompassing. As new technologies evolve and emerge, Sausalito must strive to actively support their implementation as recommended by a Technology Committee / Commission and a cutting-edge strategic plan. A City-wide, modern, state-of-the-art communication system and infrastructure will ensure future economic growth and quality of life for our residents, businesses and visitors.

We bought this same cover for our 1996 Tacoma two years ago. We liked it so much we bought one for our 1989 Toyota 4X4. The one we bought 2 years ago is still in perfect condition. Easy to install and looks great. The only problem we had was the passenger side cable (to open the cover) came out of the socket but easy to put back and tighten with an allen wrench. We had the same problem with our first one. Once we put it back in and tightened it we have never had another problem.

Child Therapist
Michael Barmak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
347 Lincoln Avenue East, Cranford, New Jersey
I help with children as young as nine years old learn how to feel their feelings and take personal responsibility for them rather than make others responsible for how they feel. And then how to manage, communicate and release their feelings appropriately. I also help children build higher self worth, be more compassionate with themselves and learn how to make better choices.
Child Therapist
Daniel Minuchin, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
280 Madison Avenue, Suite 208, New York, New York
I am a family therapist. I work with young children, but when I do, I work with the whole family. My experience is both that when young children are having problems it is often related to family issues, and that with young children it is important for their parents to be the people who are learning to help them with their issues on an ongoing basis. As a family therapist I would say that there are some sorts of issues where individual therapy makes sense for a 14 year old, but I don't think that individual therapy makes sense for a 5 year old or a 7 year old.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn't be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child?

Child Therapist
Konstantin Lukin, Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist
223 Bloomfield Street, suite 107, Hoboken, New Jersey
When working with adolescent patients, psychologists at the Lukin Center strive to uphold the adolescent's privacy while supporting the parent(s) and prioritizing the adolescent's safety. We focus on four main issues that affect adolescents, including Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Behavior Disruptive Disorders, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder.
Child Therapist
Steven Sussman, Ph.D
Licensed NJ & NY Psychologist
615 Sherwood Pkwy, Mountainside, NJ, New Jersey
Young children in particular need to feel safe and have fun to be interested in psychotherapy. If not, they do not relax and open up. Instead, they spend their sessions avoiding and denying their problems. Often, the therapist and parent spend wasted time pleading, prodding, and cajoling the child to participate in an honest thoughtful manner. My child-friendly methods are purposely compelling to young children. Many are so excited to come to therapy they run up the stairs and and through the hallway to my office; necessitating me to accommodate other tenants by posting signs discouraging such behavior.
Child Therapist
Suzi Sena, EdS, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
365 Park Avenue, Scotch Plains, New Jersey
"The days are long but the years are short" is my favorite quote when describing the life of a parent. Being a parent can be rewarding, but usually comes with it challenges. As a mental health counselor in a school environment for 6 years, I helped pre-teens and young adults navigate bullying, anxiety, depression, academic techniques, career development and college preparation, and relationship issues (family and peers). I work with individuals 11 and older using talk therapy while integrating structured activities. As you spend much more time with your child then the 60 minutes I do in session, a primary focus is strengthening the child and parent relationship and involving parents in the counseling process.
Child Therapist
Gerald Schoenewolf, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychoanalyst
207 East 15th Street, New York, New York
When children have problems, those problems are directly related to their relationship with their parents. Hence, my approach to working with children is to work with the whole family. If a child is acting up at school, he generally has parents who are, often unintentionally, not giving him what he needs at home. All parents want to believe that they are good parents, and it is hard for them to accept that they may be doing things that are causing their children to have problems. My job is to gently and patiently create a constructive atmosphere and honest communication between parents and children, which help the children resolve their problems and learn to thrive.

I am knowledgeable about young children, as I have a doctorate in child psychology. I am happy to advise or help parents with young children, who are taking a little longer to potty train, having a lot of tantrums, bedwetting, falling behind in school, may have a learning disability. I work closely with the parents, and in many cases would not treat the child directly. I usually focus on and get to know the parent, how I can best support them as a parent, as a spouse, and as a person in the world.

Unwittingly, young children often become the center of conflict by appropriating the burdens of each family member and acting out the family issues. This leads to significantly disruptive behavior at school and home. The solution is to approach families, home life and school life as connected systems. Together, we can uncover and unpack the interwoven pressures and forces that shape our children in unhealthy ways to find positive alternatives to create peaceful and productive growth for everyone.

As a licensed family therapist, a former elementary school teacher and having raised a family, I have devotion and experience in addressing the needs of children. When parents contact me to provide therapy or anger management for their young children, I respond by bringing the parent or family into treatment as well. While I provide therapy for teens as individuals, I provide parenting skill therapy, explore educational concerns and offer family counseling as treatment to address the child's issues.

Young children are not little adults but yet they are whole people. Children process things differently but also exhibit good resilience in many situations. In working with young children, it is especially important to work with them where they are at and in ways that allow them to relate tot he journey that is being made. When this is successful, the child not only is able to find wholeness and peace in the present but have a firm foundation for finding this in the future. A dimension of working with a child is working with the adults that are significant in that child's life. Christopher looks forward to this journety together with you.

My approach to working with young children is unique, because I believe that the child's dysfunction is reflection of an imbalance in the family system. Therefore, my work is with the parent(s) of the child in order to restore harmony in the family and peace for the child. Please feel free to call for my information!

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- A 12-year-old girl who authorities say was locked in a basement for weeks has testified that she was held under cold showers, slapped, spanked and fed peanut butter sandwiches for punishment.
The Hamilton JournalNews reports (http://bit.ly/X5thuk ) the girl cuddled a teddy bear as she spoke Tuesday in a Butler County court in Hamilton. It was the first day of the bench trial for 40-year-old Shawn Blackston and 37-year-old Joanna Blackston of Middletown.
The Blackstons are each charged with a child endangering misdemeanor for allegedly locking the 12-year-old in the basement and have pleaded not guilty. They were arrested in July after authorities said they found the girl in the basement, dirty and underweight.
The girl is in foster care, as are five other children who lived in the home.

Microsoft Windows Sales Plunge 33 Percent as Company Looks Ahead to Win 8
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Q1 2013 likely left Microsoft's Ballmer sweaty and frustrated.
(Source: YouTube)
Some divisions profit, but Microsoft faces uncertainty as it races ahead to Windows/Windows Phone 8
Earnings week for the tech industry has brought
a lot
bad news
, with a few pleasant surprises (
like Intel
Corp. (
)). Microsoft Corp.'s (
definitely fall into the "bad news" category.
Microsoft, which operates two fiscal quarters ahead of the calendar quarter, saw itself narrowly miss
analyst targets
in both revenue and net income (profit). The company pulled in $4.47B USD (expected: $4.72B USD) in profit on revenue of $16.008 USD (expected: $16.416B USD).
A key to the miss was plunging revenue from the Windows unit, which saw a big drop in Windows 7 sales. Microsoft better hope that predictions of Windows 7 being the "
next Windows XP
" aren't true, because it's counting on Windows 8 to revive sales, with movement of the
once-sterling Windows 7
slowing to a sluggish pace.
Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer at Microsoft,
roared at his critics
, commenting in the earnings release, "The launch of Windows 8 is the beginning of a new era at Microsoft. Investments we've made over a number of years are now coming together to create a future of exceptional devices and services, with tremendous opportunity for our customers, developers, and partners."
Microsoft is currently selling Windows 8 upgrades via pre-order.
Microsoft did defer $1.36B USD (as it typically does) in pre-order revenue from its
Windows Upgrade Offer
program. Windows 8 official
launches next Friday
on Oct. 26.
One bright spot in the earnings report was Microsoft's servers unit, which saw an 8 percent bump on revenue, mainly on big growth in SQL Server and System Center. And in the also-somewhat-good news category, Bing and the online service division crept a bit closer to no longer being
massive money losers
, with revenue 9%, driven by a 15% increase in revenue per-click. That's particularly good as the dominant force in the search market, Google Inc. (
), saw
a large
in revenue per-click
after traffic acquisition costs (TAC).
The Entertainment and Devices division earnings were a revenue draw (down 1 percent). It is currently focused on reviving Microsoft's smartphone bid with
Windows Phone 8
, which launches next week. It also was able to brag that the Xbox 360 remains
sales king of the American consoles market
, with a 49 percent estimated market share. The Xbox 360's successor, which some are expecting to be
named the Xbox 720
, is not expected to land until sometime in late 2013 or early 2014.
Windows Phone 8 launches next week. [Images: Nokia (left), HTC (right)]
Microsoft remains one of the best earning and most successfully diversified hardware/software giants in the consumer electronics industry. However, it continues to be defined by the burden of high expectations, speculation, and intense scrutiny surroundings its "misses".
Shares of Microsoft were hammered in morning trading, down almost 3 percent to $28.70 USD/share.

This is the stylus that makes taking notes on a 30-pin iPad seem as natural as writing freehand with pen and paper. The pen works with the ibisPaint X app (free for download) and an included wireless infrared receiver, transforming an iPad into a blank sheet of writing paper. Comparable in size and feel to its ink-filled cousins, the pen allows you to write fluidly, even letting you rest your hand on the screen, making it ideal for taking notes during meetings, jotting a quick memo, or sketching a playful doodle. Your work is saved as jpg images on the iPad, allowing them to be edited and shared via e-mail or social media sites. Includes two SR41 batteries and replacement tip. Receiver plugs into 30-pin charging port of iPad 3 or earlier running iOS 3.2 and later.

The iPad Pen - may not work on your iPad
By vrcdrc
from Pennsylvania
Best Uses
This pen is high mainenance. It's intention is to keep track of what you've written so it can be translated to an OCR program, or downloaded to a different file. The interface fits into a 30 pin iPad port, here's the rub, it doesn't work w/ the iPad 4 and above with the smaller port. I even got an adapter to see if that would work. Nope. So, it won't work if you're charging, it won't work on later iPads, and I don't believe there's any small print on the ad that mentions this. Even on the right port/iPad, it loses callibration easily. Sorry, I wanted to like this 'pen.' There are other better options for recent iPads.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

An abdominal mass is swelling in one part of the belly area (abdomen).
Mass in the abdomen
An abdominal mass is most often found during a routine physical exam. Most of the time the mass develops slowly. You may not be able to feel the mass.
Locating the pain helps your health care provider make a diagnosis. For example, the abdomen can be divided into four areas:
Other terms used to find the location of abdominal pain or masses include:
The location of the mass and its firmness, texture, and other qualities can provide clues to its cause.
Several conditions can cause an abdominal mass:
All abdominal masses should be examined as soon as possible by the health care provider.
Changing your body position may help relieve pain due to an abdominal mass.
Get medical help right away if you have a pulsating lump in your abdomen along with severe abdominal pain. This could be a sign of a ruptured aortic aneurysm, which is an emergency condition.
Contact your health care provider if you notice any type of abdominal mass.
In nonemergency situations, your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history.
In an emergency situation, you will be stabilized first. Then, your provider will examine your abdomen and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history, such as:
A pelvic or rectal exam may be needed in some cases. Tests that may be done to find the cause of an abdominal mass include:

We Are Radicals at Heart: A New History Gets America Wrong
Reading The Great Debate, reminded me of the night I spoke at the Yale Political Union (YPU) in February 2009. I was invited to New Haven to advance the argument that "Americans Should Embrace Their Radical History"—that is, the history of our many popular struggles to enhance American democratic life and our exceptional achievements in the 1770s, 1860s, and 1930s and 40s in confronting and overcoming threats to the survival of the nation by actually doing so.
The nation's oldest student debating society, the YPU is composed of seven distinct "parties" ranging from the right to the left. Of course, the young people on the progressive side of the hall supported my cause with gusto. And yet those of the parties of the right were especially entertaining, not only because they were enthusiastic opponents, but also because they were divided into two parties, one advancing the cause of liberty, free markets, and individualism, and the other, a "Burkean" politics that ardently and audaciously defended tradition, order, and elitism, to the point, it seemed, of retrospectively opposing even the American Revolution.
The author of The Great Debate, Yuval Levin, is no undergraduate however. A veteran of both the Bush White House and the GOP House staff, and now Hertog Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, editor of the conservative National Interest, and a regular contributor to the Weekly Standard and National Review, Levin is a rising star among rightwing public intellectuals. Indeed, New York Times columnist David Brooks has referred to him as "one of the two or three most influential young writers today." Still, reviewing Levin's book recalled my night with the YPU students because Levin himself champions the thought of the Irish-born British MP Edmund Burke against that of the English-born American Revolutionary Thomas Paine so fervently that at times I could not help but seriously wonder if Levin himself would not have opposed the American Revolution.
Saying that he wrote his book, which apparently began as a doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago, because he wanted to know "Why is there a left and right in our politics?" Levin explains how his quest necessarily took him back to the late eighteenth century, the Age of Revolution and the days of American Independence, the French Revolution, and British Radicalism, and the "great debate" between Burke and Paine, most especially to Burke's attack on the French Revolution, Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), and Paine's two-part reply, Rights of Man (1791/92).
But Levin offers more than just a theoretical exegesis of Burke's and Paine's opposed views. After providing detailed philosophical discussions of their respective understandings of Nature and History, Justice and Order, Choice and Obligation, Reason and Prescription, and Revolution and Reform, in the course of which Levin makes it pretty clear that he thinks we would be better off adopting Burke's thinking on politics and society rather than Paine's, he closes by essentially arguing that we should prefer the Republican party over the Democratic party because the former best represents Burke's "reformist conservatism" and the latter, a modern rendition of Paine's "restorative progressivism" that necessarily threatens the legacy of generations and deeply-held values of ordinary Americans.
As Levin presents the Great Debate: Whereas Paine, the prophet of the Age of Revolution, championed universal "natural rights," an ungrounded radical individualism and egalitarianism, and the "rights of the living" to make their own history, Burke, the prophet of modern conservatism, rejected Enlightenment utopianism and radicalism and urged respect for long-evolved and time-tested political and social institutions and practices and acceptance of the obligations that one generation necessarily has to another. And whereas, Paine sought to rally "the people" to turn the world upside down to restore the rights that monarchical and aristocratic rulers had suppressed, Burke called for preserving the prevailing political and social order and, when circumstances truly demanded it, instituting incremental reforms that would not destabilize it and jeopardize the good it afforded.
