Greeneville, Tenn. - A walk-off double to left centerfield by Abby Child led #3-seed Anderson University over #6-seed Brevard College in the first round of the 2012 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Softball Championship on Thursday afternoon as the Tornados fell at Red Edmonds Field to the Trojans, 3-2.
Childs drove in Jessica Neidigh and Kelly McInnes with a one-out double to left centerfield and the relay home was wide allowing the winning run to cross the plate as Breard was unable to record the first round upset for the second consecutive season.
Brevard struck first in the contest, breaking a scoreless tie in the top of the fifth against AU starter Amber Duncan by plating two runs in the frame. Clemens singled up the middle with one out and advanced into scoring position on Alyssa Miller's fielder's choice. A walk issued to Meredith Davenport loaded the bases with two outs in the frame before Emily Boykin continued her hitting in clutch situations, driving in Clemens and Miller with a single to right field to put the Tornados up 2-0.
Anderson answered in the bottom of the sixth, cutting into the lead with their first run of the game off Clemens as Child reached on a walk and Danielle Swygert followed with a double off the fence in left centerfield, placing two in scoring position with zero outs. Clemens nearly escaped the jam, retiring the next two batters on flyouts, but Child was able to come across the plate on a BC throwing error to narrow the margin to 2-1.
Brevard nearly built on their lead in the top of the seventh, putting runners on first and second with two outs as Davenport singled through the infield and Boykin coaxed a full-count walk, but Duncan retired Maddie Fletcher as the senior third baseman lined out to right field to end the frame and negate the threat.
Rachel Rhodes led off the final inning with a single through the infield and was lifted for McInnes. Neidigh followed with a base hit, putting runners on first and second. Clemens retired the next batter, but Child followed the out with her deciding hit to end the contest.
Clemens went the distance for the Tornados, allowing seven hits in the game while recording four strikeouts. Duncan also went the distance for Anderson, overcoming a wild spell in allowing five walks and seven hits to keep the Tornados at bay in the victory.
Brevard moves to the loser's bracket and will take on #7-seed Wingate in an elimination game tomorrow morning at Chuckey-Doak High School. First pitch between the Tornados and the Bulldogs is set for 10:30 a.m.

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados made major strides both offensively and defensively in their third season in the South Atlantic Conference, and look for those advancements to carry over into the 2011 season as they prepare to enter their fourth year in the NCAA Division II and SAC.
Head Coach Paul Hamilton continues to build a strong program as Brevard finished the 2010 season with the nation's third-best rushing attack in the Division II rankings. The rushing attack will continue to be a strength for Brevard as the Tornados return 17 starters from last year's squad, but the defense retains the most experience with nine returners on the defensive side of the ball as Brevard looks to continue their march toward the top of the conference.
Headlining this season's team are the seven Preseason All-Conference selections, including the reigning Offensive Freshman of the Year in slot Kelvin Jeter. Jeter became the first BC offensive player to be named to the Preseason First Team in 2011, being selected as a running back. Jeter became the first Brevard player to receive Player of the Year honors as the rising sophomore slot from Gastonia, N.C. added accolades to his record-setting campaign in being recognized as the 2010 SAC Offensive Freshman of the Year. Jeter carried the ball 135 times for 1,145 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 8.5 yards per carry and 104.1 rushing yards per game, setting Brevard single-season records in net yards, yards per carry, longest play from scrimmage and rushing yards per game.
Seniors Prince Simunyu, Salonick Amos and Eric Watts also were named to the Preseason All-SAC First Team. Simunyu, named a First Team Linebacker for the second consecutive year, finished second on the team with 75 tackles last season, adding five tackles for loss, two sacks and a fumble return for a touchdown. Amos was selected as a Preseason First Team Defensive Back, tying for the conference's overall lead with 14 pass breakups, while Watts is the First Team Punter, having led the conference with a 42.9 yard punt average.
Caleb Campbell and Michael Gist were also named to the Preseason Second Team, while Watts doubled up on the honors in being named a Second Team Wide Receiver.
For the first time in two years, the Tornados will have a new face receiving snaps under center. Returners Aaron Reese and Billy Muscatello have the most experience on the roster, but several talented incomers will also compete for the chance to replace Michael Crumbaker, the all-time leading rusher from the quarterback position in BC history.
The backfield situation is a place of stability for Brevard though, as redshirt senior Derek Church and Jeter return to take on the bulk of the carries for Coach Hamilton. Church is the sixth-leading rusher in Brevard College history and tied for third in career touchdown runs, finishing last season by crossing the goal line five times. Church had a powerful showing in Brevard's Spring Blue-White game, scoring a pair of touchdowns and will see the bulk of the carries near the end zone again this season. Also joining Church in the backfield this year will be returning senior Jerel Drew, while several incoming players will also challenge for playing time early in the season to provide support for the BC rushing game.
When the Tornados take to the sky, Watts will draw the majority of the attention as the senior wide receiver caught a team-high 18 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. His ability to get open contributed to his being selected as a Preseason Second Team Wide Receiver. Trey Bray and Devon Holmes also return to line up outside for the Tornados and Brevard will look to a talented incoming group to help solidify this position in the fall.
The strength of the Brevard offense remains the Tornados offensive line as they return three of their starters, welcoming back Jacob Richardson who saw his season end early last year due to injury. Campbell was selected as a preseason All-SAC Second Team selection as he helped pave the way for Brevard to average 285.5 rushing yards per game. Returning starter Tyler Fisher will also help solidify the line, while Andrew Velazquez, Jordan Bookhart, Garrett Johnson, Cody Anderson and Dusty Holder provide depth and experience for Brevard this season in the trenches.
Defensively, Simunyu, Amos and Gist return with valuable leadership and experience for the Tornados under Defensive Coordinator Scott Brumett.
On the defensive line, the Tornados welcome back senior Richard Ray in addition with returners Christian Lumbu and Rommie Fairchild as Brevard will look to again control the line of scrimmage. Lumbu led all BC defensive linemen with 42 tackles and chipped in seven quarterback hurries, while Fairchild contributed 14 stops and a sack on the season. Ray returns having last suited up for BC in 2009 when he had 41 tackles and helped the Tornados to victories over Lenoir-Rhyne and Catawba. The Tornados will get a boost from redshirt freshman Matt Jones and Charles Chambers also returns to provide depth, while several newcomers will challenge for playing time.
Simunyu captains the linebacker corps for the Tornados and is joined by junior middle linebacker C.J. Wilson as the leading returners in the middle of the defense. Rufus Jenkins also returns, having shown the ability to pressure the quarterback last season, while Donovan Barker and Rodney Donald will also see playing time in the defensive scheme.
In the defensive backfield, Amos and Gist return with a combined nine interceptions and 38 pass breakups over the past two years. Rashad Dirton also has shown the ability to converge on the ball as the Tornados possessed the second stingiest pass defense in the conference in the 2010 season. Phillip Curcio, Chris Jones and Anthony Shakir also return having received experience under Coach Teddy Gaines last season and help solidify Brevard's last line of defense in the 2011 season.
On special teams, Watts returns to handle the punting duties, having set multiple BC records over the past two seasons. Watts was 10th in the nation in punt average with 42.9 yards per attempt and had six punts travel beyond 55 yards last season including a 73 yard attempt at Johnson C. Smith University.
The placekicker position is open for Brevard in the 2011 season as all-time leading scorer Chase Henry graduated. Justin Powell was 9-for-10 in extra point attempts last season and handled kickoffs for Brevard last year and returns with the most experience, but he will battle it out with newcomer Austin Clark until the beginning of the 2011 regular season.
The Tornados will have one final preseason scrimmage before opening the 2011 Football season on the road on September 3rd, when Brevard travels to Boiling Springs, N.C. to take on FCS opponent Gardner-Webb University. Kickoff time for the season opener is set for 6:00 p.m. in Spangler Stadium.

Good for long distance driving
By Mags
from St. Louis, MO
The gloves do help in preventing stiffness while driving on long-distance trips. That is why I bought them. Easy to put on, however, difficult to pull off. If there were "tags" on the finger tips to help to peel down/loosen I believe this would help. People with severe arthritis, would have extreme difficulty in pulling them off. Do a study in a chiropractic clinic or even in a retirement facility.

This is the first arthritis glove I tried. At first I wore it only at night as my hands used to be stiff and achy in the morning. The improvement with the gloves was significant. Because I didn't like the rubbery smell at night I wear these mostly during the day - writing is so much easier with them on. I found another glove that I use at night that does not have such a distinctive odor. My only other complaint about this glove is that when you touch something, it feels a bit sticky. Had I not seen these in a magazine on an airplane, I never would have know of their existence! Definitely worth a try for arthritic hands!

They Really Work!
By kd
from Warminster PA
I've only been using these gloves for 2 weeks (I wear them at night when I go to bed) and the difference (reduction in hand and finger joint pain) is amazing! The gloves also help with circulation in your hands ... I used to wake up with my hands numb or tingly .. all gone! I would recommend these gloves to anyone with arthritis in your hands and/or poor circulation in your hands. They work ... they're comfortable .. and no pills.

Really helps arthritis pain
By SallyS
from Roanoke, VA
The first time I wore these, I was so excited! My hands didn't ache, the gloves actually kept them warm, too. But after a couple days (I mostly wore them to sleep in) the fabric of the gloves starting 'pilling', which seemed highly unusual for something with so much spandex - or what feels like spandex - and the finger seams started coming apart. I will try and salvage them by re-stitching the seams, but for the cost of the gloves, they shouldn't have come apart like that.

The fingers are a bit too long to work while wearing them so I cut for my comfort. The heat was felt right away and the pain slowly passed. I ride motorcycle for now 40 years and they are a plus while riding. They keep my hands on handle bar and warm at same time. Would recommend without hesitation. Bravo !

Paul Ryan slammed President Obama on Thursday for failing to rescue an auto factory in his Wisconsin district — one that closed in 2008, under President George W. Bush.
The latest attack highlights the complicated politics of the auto rescue for Ryan, who was one of only a handful of Republicans to vote in favor of the 2008 bailout that President Bush signed as a stopgap measure to prevent the industry from going under.
"I remember President Obama visiting it when he was first running, saying he'll keep that plant open," Ryan said in Ohio Thursday, describing the shuttered GM factory in Janesville, Wis. "One more broken promise."
Ryan blamed rising gas prices under Obama for the closing. He echoed the complaint in an interview with a local ABC affiliate, suggesting it showed that Obama's auto rescue was a sham.
"It didn't help Janesville," he said. "They shut our plant down. It didn't help Kenosha. I represent there; they shut down the Chrysler plant."
The Detroit News noted that Obama said during a visit in early 2008 that government help and some restructuring could keep the plant open. But after the financial crisis and a collapse in demand for the SUVs the factory produced, it shut down in December 2008 in the waning days of Bush's second term. It's still owned by GM, but has been closed ever since.

Did you breastfeed your baby to sleep?
I am interested to know how many other mums breastfeed their baby to sleep at night? I have always done this and I think it is wonderful that breastfeeding is a natural and fairly easy way (once it is established) to get a baby to sleep at night. I also like the way the baby feels comforted whilst they are falling asleep.
However, I'm now wondering if I should just carry on with this until my son (currently 15 months old) chooses to stop - ideally when he is old enough to get himself to sleep. The alternative is that I should try to stop feeding him to sleep (or at least fully to sleep) so that he can start to learn to go to sleep himself.
I don't like controlled crying so we wouldn't do this. However, we are starting to stop co-sleeping now so I wonder if I should change anything about the way I breastfeed him to sleep?

Hi Laura-Jane,
I breastfed all of my babies to sleep. However, being that you're trying to stop co-sleeping, then this is what I'd suggest.
When I was trying to transition my children from sleeping in my bed to sleeping in their own cot, I started with nap time.
I would breastfeed after lunch in a chair or on the couch. They were pretty full from food, so the breastfeeding was just a supplement and more for comfort. Once they were really asleep, I'd try to put them down in their cot. If they woke up, I'd rub their back or pat their back to try to get them to settle. If they tried to stand up, I'd gently, but firmly, lay them back down. They needed to know that this was nap time and if they wanted me to stay in the room with them, then they needed to lay down. Once they were really asleep (I'd count to 60, and if I didn't see any movement, I knew they were asleep) then I'd tip-toe out of the room.
It's one of those things that you just have to read your child, and decide how long you will work with them in their own cot. Don't try this if he's got a cold or isn't feeling well for some reason. You want him to fully healthy so that he can cope with the change as best as possible.
I always found that once they were taking a nap in their own cot, it was much easier to get them to transition to sleeping in their own cot at night (at least going down in it for the first part of the night).
If you're feeling strong enough, I would continue breastfeeding him to sleep, but maybe try to make your breastfeeding times first thing in the morning, nap time(s) and just before bed at night. The rest of the day could be food and sippy cup with raw goat milk, which is easier on baby than cow milk. That's what we use. Just make sure that if you buy it, you get an expiration date that is at least 2 weeks away. The fresher goat milk is, the better it will taste. Fresh goat milk, within 24 hours of being milked, tastes wonderful - better than cow milk, in my opinion, but that's pretty much "straight from the goat" (but cold, not warm). I get raw goat milk and my supplier will put it in bottles and freeze the bottles for me within hours of milking. Then I just thaw it in warm water when we're ready to drink it.
Hope this helps :-)

Thank you Kate.
I agree that I only want to make the transition at times when my little boy is in full health/ not teething - as I still want to provide extra comfort to him during these times.
I've been trying some cows milk in a beaker but he is really not impressed! So maybe he will prefer the goats milk - it is certainly worth a try. I wonder which tastes the more similar to breast milk? Also does anyone know which of cows milk or goats milk is more similar in nutrients to breast milk?
He has sometimes been having some of his naps in the pushchair. I don't know if this will help him to sleep in his cot at night-time? Although I suppose it doesn't involve me feeding him to sleep. I have decided I still want to continue with some breastfeeding at this stage and gradually reduce it over this year so it is manageable for me during the pregnancy (particularly as the morning sickness may continue into the third trimester like with my last pregnancy) and when the new baby arrives. So I will certainly give you suggestions a try this week - thanks so much.

Breast milk is much sweeter than cow's milk or goat's milk, and goat's milk is easier to digest than cow's milk. A cow has 4 stomachs, so cow's milk is digested well by a baby cow with 4 stomachs. Goats only have one stomach, so goat's milk is easier to digest for those with one stomach.
It doesn't matter how nutritious a food or beverage is, if it's not being digested well, the nutrients aren't utilized by the body very well. So though I don't know which milk is closer to breast milk in nutrient content, I do know that goat milk is easier for humans to digest, which means bub would most likely get more benefit from it, with less potential problems (i.e. allergic reactions like eczema, gas, burping, etc.).
My nutritionist gave me a recipe for goat milk formula (made from carrot juice, goat milk, and a few other things) but that was years ago and I don't have it on this computer. Here's an article about homemade baby formula, and you may find some ideas there. Dr. Sears recommends adding rice syrup to goat milk formula (though don't try the powdered stuff in the can - it probably has a very strong "goaty" taste and I'm guessing your 15 month old won't like it). If you wanted to add a little rice syrup to fresh goat milk, just to make it slightly sweeter, he might like it better. Just a thought... You can also give him fresh green smoothies, he will probably love that. Banana, strawberry, orange juice concentrate (or fresh orange juice), water and a handful or two of baby greens (I use 6 handfuls in mine, but start slow).

Thank you Kate - that makes sense about why the goats milk is easier to digest. I've also heard that baby's have less allergies/ reactions to goats milk compared to cows milk. All very interesting.
He loves eating bananas, strawberries and oranges so I'm sure he would love drinking them too! Does anyone know the best way for a baby to drink these to protect their teeth. I think he is too young for a straw? Is an open cup the best?
Thank you.

Toddlers usually do pretty well with a sippy cup if he's too small for a straw. This is what I would use just to keep the smoothie contained

Thanks Kate. The raspberry and orange smoothie went down a treat yesterday!

Yummm... if he really liked it, you could try putting a little bit of deep green lettuce in it (baby greens). Will turn bright green but he shouldn't notice a difference in taste. It's a great thing to get them started on when their little :-)

Hannity relied on his family, not government research, to decipher impact of malpractice suits on healthcare costs
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On the July 21 edition of Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity falsely claimed that "malpractice insurance alone for doctors," as a result of "trial lawyers' suits, has driven up the cost of healthcare astronomically"; yet he cited no evidence beyond stating "I have all people in medicine in my family. I know the costs."
Richard Goodstein, attorney and former Gore campaign adviser, appeared on the program to discuss Senator John Edwards's (D-NC) former career as a trial lawyer. In response to attacks by Republican opponents that trial lawyers like Edwards are partially responsible for rising healthcare costs in the United States because malpractice lawsuits are causing medical liability insurance for doctors to increase, Goodstein cited a Congressional Budget Office report concluding that bills capping non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits at $250,000 "would basically save only 0.4 percent of the amount that's spent now."
In response, Hannity dismissed Goodstein's argument as "silly" and proceeded to cite his family to support his own erroneous claim.
From the July 21 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes:
GOODSTEIN: The Congressional Budget Office said that these bills that would cap non-economic damages at $250,000, if enacted, would increase by -- would basically save only 0.4 percent of the amount that's spent now.
We're really not talking about anything that has a macro, a major influence on the cost of health care.
HANNITY: Do you know how silly your statement is when you say there's no major impact on the cost?
Just the cost of malpractice insurance alone for doctors in the last 25 years in this country, because of trial lawyers' suits, has driven up the cost of healthcare astronomically.
Go look at -- just talk to the average doctor. I have all people in medicine in my family. I know the costs.
The Congressional Budget Office report cited by Goodstein documents the minimal impact of malpractice suits on overall healthcare costs. Although the report recognized that a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages would reduce doctors' malpractice premiums by 25 percent to 30 percent, it also noted that malpractice premiums make up such a small percentage of the cost of providing healthcare that reductions would not have a significant overall impact on healthcare premiums for the general public.
According to the report, "[M]alpractice costs amounted to an estimated $24 billion in 2002, but that figure represents less than 2 percent of overall health care spending. Thus, even a reduction of 25 percent to 30 percent in malpractice costs would lower health care costs by only about 0.4 percent to 0.5 percent, and the likely effect on health insurance premiums would be comparably small."

cisco.com API to look up device info
Is there any tool on cisco.com hopefully an API that can be used to look up information about a device based on a serial number?
I'm working on a inventory management system and I have serial numbers of the Cisco devices. I would like to integrate our service with cisco.com and be able to pull any information about the device that Cisco knows.
So far the only tool I found is this: http://tools.cisco.com/scc/
Is that the only thing available?
Thanks for any help!

LONG BEACH — An environmental impact report for a controversial railyard project doesn't clear the air for the Long Beach Unified School District.
The LBUSD Board of Education on Tuesday officially opposed a draft EIR for the Southern California International Gateway project, a planned 153-acre railyard on the border of West Long Beach south of Sepulveda Boulevard, north of Pacific Coast Highway and east of Alameda Street.
School officials say the draft EIR fails to identify possible health risks for students and staff at nearby schools.
The LBUSD is asking for the Port of Los Angeles, which generated the report, to recirculate a new draft EIR with more comprehensive data on the health effects of toxic air contaminants and other risks. The board members said they aren't opposed to the project at this time, but they are opposed to the EIR report in its current form.
"We just don't have the information we need (on the possible risks for nearby schools) to make a valid decision at this time," said Board President Felton Williams.
Williams, Jon Meyer and John McGinnis all voted to oppose the report, as an audience of concerned citizens applauded. Board members Mary Stanton and David Barton were absent.
The $500 million project, proposed in 2005 by rail giant Burlington Northern Santa Fe, is designed to accommodate growing container traffic flowing through the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
Advocates say the railyard will create jobs, reduce pollution and eliminate more than a million truck trips on the Long Beach (710) Freeway. Opponents say it will increase pollution, noise and traffic in neighboring communities.
Trini Jimenez, a spokesman for BNSF Railway, urged the board to wait for the full EIR report to come out this summer and give the Port of LA a chance to address the concerns before its gives an official disapproval. Jimenez said the opposing vote was premature.
A handful of residents and community activists attended the meeting to voice their concerns for the health and safety of the community.
Maria Reyes, whose daughter attends Cabrillo High School, was one of several mothers worried about her child's health. Some mothers said their children were already affected with asthma.
"We are exposed to the noise, to the pollution," Reyes said in Spanish. "It's not healthy."
Resident Evelyn Knight noted that the area already has a high concentration of pollution.
"This project will be adding additional pollution to one of the most impacted communities in all of Long Beach," she said.
Schools that the district said would be affected include Webster, Garfield and Muir elementary schools, Stephens Middle School, Hudson K-8, Cabrillo High, Reid High and Bethune Transitional School.
The Port of Los Angeles owns most of the property on which the project would be built, giving the port ultimate control over its approval, though the decision can be appealed to the Los Angeles City Council.
The L.A. Board of Harbor Commissioners is expected to vote on the plan after a public review period is completed sometime late this year.

Meet the anti-pot activists
Pot tours, weed tastings , and cannabis cabaret. Stealing the spotlight from opponents of marijuana legalization is the gimmicky commercialization they warned would normalize the drug. Who's laughing now, you ask? They are.
"Calling it 'medical marijuana' is a joke," says Carla Lowe, 75-year-old founder ofCitizens Against Legalizing Marijuana (whic goes by the acronym CALM). "It's been a joke from the beginning."
The former K-12 teacher turned anti-drug activist has spent the past 33 years fighting the jolly green giant. Her newest endeavor is CALM, an organization she formed four years ago to fight California's Proposition 9. The mission of Lowe's eight-person team is to dispel the "lies" circulating about cannabis—a drug she first witnessed while substitute teaching in the 1970s ("these kids with long hair kept giggling in the back of the class"). Correlations between her students' performance ("they weren't focusing") and their apparent use of the drug ("they were probably smoking pot") concerned Lowe. But it wasn't until she suspected that her teenage son had gotten involved ("he grew his hair out, he didn't want to swim anymore") that she decided to take up the fight herself. Sitting in on University of California Davis clinical trials of cannabis in 1975 she was horrified at the "apathetic, disinterested" monkeys she saw, lying around their cages. "You know who they reminded me of?" she asks me. "They reminded me of the kids."
Lowe, who seems capable of talking about this topic for hours on end, is fuming at the current state of affairs with marijuana. "There are no controls, there is no dosing…pot high kids are smoking god knows what and thinking it's ok. Nobody is getting pure marijuana." The mother of five frantically jumps from one argument to the next as if playing a high stakes game of Catchphrase. "It's debilitating our teenagers and in so doing it is diminishing the potential for our country." "What we call medical marijuana in California, it's a crock!" "I enjoy a glass of wine with dinner, most people don't drink alcohol to get drunk." On a hunter green poster from CALM is her marijuana definition: "It is a fat soluble, mind altering, highly toxic drug that remains in the body for up to one month, building up with each additional joint. The two organs most affected are the brain and sexual organs." "It's illegal under federal law, and it's illegal because it's a dangerous drug," she adds later. But what of President Obama's softened stance on pot? "That was an inane comment, he's been bought. We all know the story of George Soros."
Despite conflicting conclusions on how marijuana affects the brain (there are both studies proving it does and it doesn't), Lowe vehemently defends her assertion that it makes people dumber. Humans aside, of course, there are other concerns for Lowe, who describes herself as "kind of" an environmentalist. "They are raping of our forest! They're killing people," she nearly yells, unprompted. When I ask who is killing who she fires back. "The growers. They will do anything to protect their crops." And while Lowe admits that cannibidiol, the non-psychoactive component of marijuana, can have positive effects on certain patients (she cites epilepsy), she's not satisfied with simply medical journals as proof. "I understand people who say 'I think it makes me feel better,' but it's not the criteria used. That's just an anecdote."
It's "anecdotes" like these that Smart Colorado is looking to amend. Started in 2010 by Diane Carlson and a few others, SC is a citizen-led organization focused on providing education for kids following marijuana's legalization. "There is no knowledge. They don't know anything until they get caught," says Carlson, a mother of five in Denver. "There aren't enough regulations. Right now you could buy an entire ounce of marijuana. That's enough to get an entire high school high." With no tracking system in place, Carlson said she foresees buyers virtually hopscotching through her city buying ounce after ounce. "A lot of people have no idea the products that are being sold. There are gummy bears with weed in them." Still, while Smart Colorado openly opposed Amendment 64 and continues to find it problematic, it has no plans to talk repeal. Born from a conversation with a group of teens to find out what was standing in their way ("most said weed"), its goal is awareness. "No matter how anybody feels, the science is there: This isn't great for our kids."

Forbes columnist derides D'Souza's Forbes attack on Obama
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
As I suspected, there's dissension within the Forbes ranks over the widely controversial, and widely condemned, Obama attack piece that recently graced the magazine's cover.
When I asked late last week why there was a deafening silence from inside Forbes about the piece, it was because it just didn't make sense that professional journalists who work for the glossy mag would possibly be okay with being associated with such a rank piece of misguided partisan propaganda. And worse, being associated with an error-filled article that so thoroughly embarrassed the magazine.
I understand Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes finally came forward Friday afternoon and defended the D'Souza article, claiming it represented great journalism. But politically, Forbes really had no choice but to back the nasty, get-Obama article. Others who work for the magazine are under no such partisan restraints and we're now getting a glimpse into their disdain for D'Souza's work.
For instance, take this money quote from Forbes columnist Shikha Dalmia, writing on the magazine's web site [emphasis added]:
Writers these days are supposed to cultivate a niche, and D'Souza seems to have homesteaded the intellectual goofiness spot all for himself.
And then she lowers the boom:
Gingrich aside, many commentators have already pointed out the factual problems with many of D'Souza's claims. One involves a $2 billion loan that the administration handed via the Export-Import bank to encourage off-shore drilling in Brazil. "He is funding Brazilian exploration so that the oil can stay in Brazil," D'Souza rails. This is a foolish decision, no doubt, but one that was unanimously endorsed by the bank's five board members, none of whom were Obama appointees.
But there is a problem more basic than factual inaccuracies with D'Souza's thesis. If Obama were seriously motivated by a moral desire to protect poor countries from being ruined by excessive American consumption then his biggest priority would be to rein in this consumption. But that is the exact opposite of what he has done since assuming office. His entire economic agenda is one big and desperate attempt to boost American consumption.
And again:
What is even more unsettling than D'Souza's unsubstantiated ideological accusations against Obama are his gratuitous digs at polygamy in Obama's family. He plays this up repeatedly. What is the point of this except to remind Americans that Obama is a Muslim – the most dreaded of "others"?
Good for Dalmia. Meanwhile, I'd sure love to hear Steve Forbes explain again how the D'Souza piece represented "terrific journalism."
He's wrong. The article was a train wreck. And even people who write for Forbes know that to be true.

New Electronic License Plates Could Be Controlled By DMV, Law Enforcement Agencies
South Carolina is considering a formal switch from regular license plates to solar-powered plates that will be electronically controlled by the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.
Compliance Innovations, the South Carolina-based company that wants to manufacture the plates and provide them to the state for less than $100 (the normal price is between $3 and $7), has provided a visual on their site. With one swipe of the mouse, a plain plate is emblazoned with bright red "EXPIRED."
In an effort to make the South Carolinian roads safer, supporters say the goal is to better advertise 'criminal-status' to the authorities. The DMV could electronically announce the offense on the license plate, easily broadcasting it to passing police cars.
Compliance Innovation's site demo displays examples such as "Amber Alert," "Uninsured," and "Suspended" in their visual diagram. The idea is that once an offense has been committed, the driver's license has been suspended, or their insurance has not been paid, the DMV can send an instant announcement electronically.

Want to get from LA/Ontario International Airport to downtown Los Angeles in 20 minutes via the Metrolink?
One Los Angeles councilman thinks it can be done.
But as a subcommittee of the City Council prepares to discuss the idea at its meeting today, a spokesman for the region's rail transportation system says it can't.
Last week, Councilman Bill Rosendahl introduced a motion requesting that Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office and officials from Los Angeles World Airports work with Metrolink to consider options for connecting the Ontario airport to the rail line.
His motion also suggested there would be a 20-minute connection.
"At our current schedule, we will not be able to provide a 20-minute route," Metrolink spokesman Scott Johnson said.
"Our schedule may be anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour but that's still faster than traveling the 60 Freeway or the 10 and 210 freeways."
A long-time proponent of spreading air traffic throughout the region, Rosendahl has said he is more focused on creating the connection between Ontario's airport and Metrolink, which could equate to improved air traffic, including non-stop international flights.
Rosendahl, who oversees the Transportation Committee that meets today, has said the connection is the missing link for the struggling Ontario airport, which lacks a hookup with the rail transportation system.
Passenger figures at ONT have fallen from 7.2 million in 2007 to an estimated 4.2 million in 2012.
Metrolink officials plan to attend today's meeting to answer any questions from committee members, but do not plan on making a presentation, Johnson said.
Metrolink is always open to "conversations of expanding connectivity in our schedule" with public or private agencies, he said.
"We look forward to working with councilman Rosendahl to clarify what we can offer."
One of those options could be to provide a shuttle service from a Metrolink station to the airport.
Currently, the only direct Metrolink stop at an airport is Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.
Johnson said that other regional airports rely on a second partner to provide a connection to Metrolink.
John Wayne Airport in Anaheim uses the iShuttle program while Los Angeles World Airports has the Flyaway shuttle for Los Angeles International and Van Nuys airports, he said.
LAWA operates ONT, LAX and Van Nuys Airport.
In Ontario, there is a Metrolink line on the south side of the airport and another two miles north of the terminals but neither have a shuttle service that connects to ONT.
The north line - linking San Bernardino and Los Angeles - has a higher volume of traffic in the mornings with commuters from the Inland Empire going into downtown for work, Johnson said.
The south line, which runs on tracks owned by the Union Pacific Railroad, runs from Riverside to Los Angeles along the southern boundary of the airport. This may be a complicated option because the trains aren't as frequently scheduled because the tracks are shared.
San Bernardino County's transportation planning agency is working on its own plan to connect Metrolink to the airport.
San Bernardino Associated Governments board in February will consider hiring a consultant to study a connection between the Metrolink and the airport.
"We have a great resource with Ontario airport and another people mover with the Metrolink, creating that connectivity mode will offer additional value," said Tim Watkins, spokesman for SANBAG.
The study would take into consideration several factors such as the mode of transportation to use - bus, shuttle or train - the possible ridership it would generate as well as costs associated, he said.
The study would also identify which Metrolink line and station would be the best option, he said.
Watkins said the project has not been funded.
If the board agrees to hire a consultant, Watkins said the study would probably begin in late spring or early summer.
"It further expands the transportation options for people within our county and creates more connectivity with our transportation system," Watkins said.
The Transportation Committee will meet at 2 p.m. today at Los Angeles City Hall.

Iowa legislature goes 0-for-January. The Iowa General Assembly has been completed the first three weeks of its 2013 session without settling what Iowa's tax law is for last year. The legislation needed to update Iowa's 2012 tax law for the retroactive federal changes enacted in the Fiscal Cliff bill at the beginning of this year hasn't cleared either house of the legislature. The Senate Ways and Means Committee at least moved its bill (SF 106) out of committee Wednesday, while House Ways and Means hasn't even done that much with its bill (HF 110)
Many Iowans were affected by the retroactive changes, including educators and people who made energy-saving home improvements. Almost all businesses are affected by the Federal extension of $500,000 Section 179 expensing of depreciable property for 2012. Yet these taxpayers can't complete their Iowa 2012 tax returns until the legislature decides what parts of the federal changes to accept.
The silliest part: we pretty much know what the bill will look like. It's almost certain that it will adopt federal Section 179 rules and the other "extender" rules, without adopting federal "bonus depreciation." That means there's no reason to dawdle. But dawdle they do.
50 years for Wasendorf. The Wasll Street Journal reports:
Russell Wasendorf Sr., was sentenced to the maximum 50 years in jail after admitting to orchestrating a fraud at his futures brokerage and misleading regulators for almost 20 years.
Mr. Wasendorf, 64 years old, pleaded guilty last September to the fraud at Peregrine Financial Group Inc. that federal prosecutors said had cost clients $215.5 million and masked a business that never was profitable. He also was ordered to pay the full amount of missing funds in restitution.
Mr. Wasendorf got away with it by forging paper bank statements for the regulators and auditors. The scam blew up when Peregrine was forced to move to electronic account verification. Sadly, the chances of full restitution being paid to his victims are less than the chances he will walk out of prison at the end of his sentence.

Kay Bell, Congressman wants answers from IRS regarding tax preparer registration
TaxGrrrl, Wrong Side Of An Audit: Memo Argues IRS Inflated Numbers, Exaggerated Figures. My favorite part (my emphasis):
The IRS also claimed that it would suffer unspecified "costs associated with . . . finding other positions for the 167 Service employees currently working on the return preparer project." [Institute for Justice attorney Dan] Alban noted, in response, that just over two weeks ago, the IRS complained about understaffing, since "[o]verall full-time staffing has declined by more than 8% over the last two years, and staffing for key enforcement occupations fell nearly 6% in the past year." You'd think that the IRS would welcome, not rue, the idea of having nearly 200 employees available for other tasks – like answering the phone (at current staff levels, they only do that about 70% of the time).
The preparer regulation program has always seemed a frivolous use of IRS resources when tax complexity and identity-theft fraud are making the tax law almost impossible to administer.

Breast ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to examine the breasts.
Ultrasonography of the breast; Sonogram of the breast
You will be asked to undress from the waist up and put on a medical gown.
During the test, you will lie on your back on the examining table.
The doctor or nurse will place a gel on the skin on the breast. A hand-held device (called transducer) is rubbed over the breast area. You will be asked to raise your arms above your head and turn to the left or right as needed.
The device sends sound waves to the breast tissue. The sound waves help create a picture that can be seen on a computer screen.

Wendy Davis: The State Senator Who Killed the Texas Abortion Bill
Davis had taken to the floor to filibuster S.B. 5, the new strictest-in-the-nation abortion bill that would make the procedure illegal after 20 weeks in the state and create stringent requirements for abortion facilities that critics say would shut downall but five of the state's clinics.
The day before, the petite, 50-year-old Democrat had announced her intention to stop the bill before it could be voted on by the end of the legislative session,tweeting, "The leadership may not want to listen to TX women, but they will have to listen to me. I intend to filibuster this bill."
The rules of the filibuster were demanding. Davis would not be allowed to sit, take bathroom breaks, or talk about anything that wasn't "germane" to the bill. She had 13 hours to kill to make it midnight and block the bill.
By Tuesday afternoon, Davis was trending on Twitter, and fellow Democrats, famous and unknown, were lending their support with the #StandWithWendy hashtag. President Obama weighed in by tweeting, "Something special is happening in Austin tonight."
Ultimately, in the chaotic hours before midnight, Davis's filibuster was broken; Republicans alleged that she violated the strict parliamentary rules that limited her to discuss only the bill in question. But the Senate's gallery, packed with protesters, erupted in outcry, shaving more precious time off the clock. The GOP-dominated Senate managed to pass S.B. 5 on party lines even as Democrats and the raucous crowd argued that midnight had indeed come and gone before the vote.
As of early Wednesday, it appears that the Republicans' final vote was taken too late to count. Davis tweeted the S.B. 5 was "dead."

This worked for me.
Firstly, I know this is a "How-To" and not a fix but when I tried to start a thread in the "How-To's" section it said I have insufficient privileges, so mods feel free to move this thread if you like.
So, I'll just start with a disclaimer to avoid numerous reply's by saying, Auto logging in as root is not advisable. Do this at your own risk.
UPDATE: YoMoZ's post describes the simplest way to auto log-in & startx...
ORCode:just add this line : su -c root startx in /etc/rc.local save and reboot your system
Install rungetty...
Then, in a terminal type:Code:apt-get install rungetty
use the arrow keys to move down to the last line and add a " # " before the line "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" ...then copy and paste the following line below it:Code:nano /etc/init/tty1.conf
Once that's done, press Ctrl+O and Enter to saveCode:exec /sbin/rungetty tty1 --autologin root
Next run the following command:
and type "startx" then press Ctrl+O and Enter to save.Code:nano /root/.bash_profile
That's it. Reboot!

"Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users? "
This worked for me.
you don't need to install anything....
just add this line : su -c root startx
in /etc/rc.local
save and reboot your system
Just wanted to give an example here, While YoMoZ's is easier to implement, it did not work on my system as I run as a seperate, non unique root user and disabled the normal root account. Mainly because the particular box has SSH exposed to the internet and obviously its much better to not login with 'root'.
In this case the rungetty worked, while the other did not. Thanks for the tutorial.
EDIT: Keep in mind, if you ssh into the box with these settings it will startx as well... If you Ctrl+C it should stop the process, but probably good to know.

thanks!!! worked for me too...
I tried both of these methods and couldn't get either to work. After trying the second one I am unable to boot all the way. It gets stuck just before where I would usually type in my user name and password (root and toor). I eventually just reinstalled Backtrack but now I'm back to square one. I'm trying very hard to make backtrack usable as a permanent OS for my netbook but It's the small problums like this that shoot my hopes and dreams down. thoughts appreciated.
Is there a way to just auto startx but not force the login, but imply KDM login gfx?? Been a while lol
yea i already looked in there and my kdm.conf already has exec kdm in it... maybe I am not explaining myself correctly. So I will make it simple, once BT5 boots ups I want it to go straight to the gui login. So it looks like if you were to lock the desktop to sign in.. does that make sense?

I heart butterscotch!! these sound delicious!
I thought those looked familiar. 🙂 One of my favorite recipes ever!
I love your recipe, Christi! I thought these looked familiar!
Sounds amazing!
If you don't want to use the yogurt, is there something you can substitute? I really don't like the taste of yogurt so I am worried it will effect the taste of the muffins?
Maybe you should go over to Love From the Oven and ask Christi since this is her recipe.
Elyse, I think I should skip your blog until I'm done with my fast. I gave up SWEETS for most of January. These look so good I could eat the picture on the screen. Yikes! 🙂
BTW, thank you for the two great ebooks about blogging. They are absolutely excellent and worth far more than the humble price you are charging. I printed them out, put them in a binder and am going through, page by page, highlighting. What a blessing! Sinea from Ducks 'n a Row
BLOG HOP on Wednesdays. Please stop by!
I just found your blog through Pinterest! It's so cute! I just started a blog a little while ago called Truffles n' Treadmills, so your book is perfect to get me going!
Anette, I actually created the recipe that these are based off of (they simply used all purpose flour in place of the white whole wheat in mine, aside from that, it's my recipe). These were a result of repeatedly tweaking and changing a sour cream muffin recipe, so you are probably good to go if you want to use more sour cream in place of the yogurt. My original intent was to cut back on the sour cream, hence the Greek yogurt.
I created these specifically for my daughter who is an extremely picky eater. She is terribly critical of everything, especially when she knows I've made substitutions. These get a huge thumbs up with her. I promise you do not taste the yogurt at all, so you might want to give them a try. For all of the things I bake and share on my site, my muffin recipes are my most personal and the ones I spend the most time testing and developing (over and over), because they are for my kiddos first, the blogosphere second. You can check out the original, as well as my other muffin maker over recipes at: http://www.lovefromtheoven.com/tag/muffins/ 🙂
This recipe looks amazing…do you think it would work out to do mini muffins ? Cut the time to 10 min ??
Great recipe! Looks amazing!
Christi – thank you for the reply – I did see that they credited you with the original recipe and went to your site after I posted the question 🙂 I will try the way you wrote it and see what happens. I love oatmeal scotches and didn't get a chance to bake a batch at Christmas so I have chips calling to be used 🙂 Thank you for your time and the help! Annette
I love oatmeal scotchies–never thought of making them in muffin form. These sound heavenly!
My son and I just made these and they are delicious! I love butterscotch! Thanks for posting.
I halfed the recipe and tried these today. I don't know if it is a "mental" thing but still thought I could taste some of the yogurt (and I don't like yogurt) :(. The chips part was tasty – would probably try to come up with a replacement for the yogurt and try again. 🙂
Normally, sour cream is a good substitute for yogurt.
i must have done something wrong. i had way too much batter for only 12 muffins. they are overflowing in their cups in the oven as we speak. did you mean makes 24?
I am not a cook, so have a couple questions. I made these today and the taste is excellent. However, the bottom of the muffin papers were drenched with I am assuming butter (when I took them out of the oven) and the muffins stuck to the papers so much that half the muffin was uneatable. I used a nonstick pan, so do they need less time to bake. I checked them at 16 minutes and the toothpick was not quite clean, so let them stay for one more minute. Would like to try again, but dont want to be left with half muffins again…..any help?
thank you
How many calories per muffin?

PAUL SIMON SINGS AT SANDY HOOK FUNERAL Paul Simon sang at the funeral of heroic teacher Victoria Soto, who was killed protecting her students in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn. Simon sang "Sounds of Silence," which was the 27-year-old teacher's favorite song, at the request of Soto's family.
Simon knew Soto's mother through Simon's sister-in-law, both of whom are teachers, according to a statement from Simon's publicist.
BROWN, WEIR, LYNNE PLAY BENEFIT AT TROUBADOUR Calling themselves The Merry Minstrel Musical Circus, Jackson Browne, former Grateful Dead singer-guitarist, former Move-ELO leader Jeff Lynne and Heartbreakers lead guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench played a four hour benefit they called a "jam-a-thon" before a jammed throng of 400 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, reports Rolling Stone.
The benefit aided Little Kids Rock and the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund.
Among the tunes dug out by the all-star band, as well as Campbell and his band The Dirty Knobs, and local folk-rock singer-guitarist Jonathan Wilson (dubbed "the Jam King" by Browne) and various mixtures thereof, were a medley of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" and Lennon's Beatles' tune, "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away;" another one from Lennon's Plastic Ono Band solo debut, "Well, Well, Well;" George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity;" Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here;" Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money;" Del Shannon's 1961 smash, "Runaway;" and J.J. Cale's "Call Me the Breeze," that was a hit for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Other songs included Lynne singing the first ELO song to get radio play in America, Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven;" a couple of Weir-led Dead songs, "West L.A. Fadeaway" and "Truckin'" and a couple of Browne's compositions, "Take It Easy," that was a hit for The Eagles that he called "a real Troubadour song" and "These Days," a hit for himself as well as Gregg Allman.
FORMER TULL LEADER IAN ANDERSON'S CATHEDRAL CONCERTS Former Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson performed holiday concerts at the British cathedral in Newcastle and St. Brides Church in London.
Proceeds benefited ongoing repair work at the centuries-old landmarks. The concerts were a blend of traditional Christian Christmas hymns, classical music and Jethro Tull's holiday songs such as "A Christmas Song," according to Britain's Sunday Sun.
Next year, Anderson will pick up his 40 th anniversary "Thick as a Brick" tour that hit America and the U.K. this year. Anderson and his crack solo band will tour in March - Japan in April and 19 gigs in Germany and Switzerland in May. The first half of the show features a complete performance of the entire "TAAB" album, while the second half is comprised of his new book-end sequel CD, "Thick as a Brick 2."
In other news, Official Tull Internet Radio that provides all-Jethro Tull all the time, 24/7 anywhere on earth, has launched. It can be accessed at www.j-tull.com. The station is commercial-free and is loaded with deep cuts, as well as solo music from Anderson and former band guitarist Martin Barre.
Also out is "Jethro Tull: The New Day Tapes Volume 1" by band historian David Rees and Martin Webb with a forward by Anderson. The book is a collection of the entire series of their interviews with band members featured in the Jethro Tull magazine, "A New Day," over nearly the past three decades. The book may be purchased at the Tull website.
MOODY BLUES TOUR British Invasion giants, The Moody Blues, just wrapped one part of its American tour commemorating the 45 th anniversary of its legendary second album, the 1967 classical rock masterwork, "Days of Future Past," that featured the all-time smash hits "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon."
However, instead of performing the LP in its entirety - that's become quite the thing to do - The Moodies are showcasing the two hits as well as some songs they've never played in concert before, but without running through the album from start to finish. "Days of Future Past" songs being premiered in concert include Lodge's "Peak Hour" and Edge's unlisted track that ends the record, "Late Lament."
When asked by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch why they aren't performing the entire album with its full orchestral passages, honest band-leading singer-guitarist Justin Hayward said, "We're scared of it." However, he added that performing other Moody albums such as "On the Threshold of a Dream" is something the group might undertake on a future tour.
The group includes original drummer Graeme Edge, singer-bassist John Lodge and Hayward (who was recommended to the group by Animals frontman Eric Burdon), who both joined in 1966, two years after its formation in Birmingham.
That year, singer-guitarist Denny Laine, who sang their R&B-based British Invasion hit, "Go Now," that they put out in November 1964, left the band.
With the addition of Lodge and especially Hayward, The Moody Blues stopped performing cover songs and ditched their old American blues-based sound and instead became pioneers of classical rock music and melodic psychedelic progressive rock that the band became known for.
The seven concert second leg of the "Days of Future Past" anniversary jaunt runs through the South in March and ends with a "Moodies Cruise: The Voyage," March 20-25. The cruise, aboard the MSC Poesia (Italian for "poetry"), departs from Ft. Lauderdale with stops in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. Then in June, they're off to their native Britain for 14 shows.
In other Moodies news, Edge, 71, has just published a book of his lyrics and poetry, "The Written Works of Graeme Edge."
SARAH BRIGHTMAN'S CD & TOUR POSTPONED English operatic and pop singing soprano and music theater superstar Sarah Brightman's latest album, "Dreamchaser" and its accompanying tour have been pushed back in America from next month to September, the singer said in a released statement. No reason for the postponement was given. Her 100-date world tour still kicks off this summer. The U.S. leg of the tour wraps with concerts on Nov. 1, 2013 at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City and Nov. 2 at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
IRON BUTTERFLY BASSIST LEE DORMAN DIES Lee Dorman, bassist for iconic psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly and then in the early '70 s for supergroup Captain Beyond, died at age 70 in Laguna Nigel, according to the New York Times. He was found in his car outside his home. The coroner ruled that he died of natural causes. Dorman had severe heart problems and was on the transplant list, according to current band member Martin Gerschwitz.
Iron Butterfly formed in San Diego in 1966 and Dorman joined in late 1967 after the group relocated to L.A. The following year, the bassist played on the band's massive 17-minute psychedelic smash, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," the title of the band's second album. The song was severely trimmed down to 2:52 for the single that hit No. 30.
In 1971, Dorman left Iron Butterfly with a former member, guitarist Larry "Rhino" Rheinhardt, and hooked up with original Deep Purple singer Rod Evans and Johnny Winter's drummer Bobby Caldwell to form psychedelic hard rockers Captain Beyond. Dorman was with that group for two years and two albums before breaking up in 1973. Dorman and the band regrouped again from 1976-1978. Dorman then rejoined Iron Butterfly and remained until 1985 when Iron Butterfly once again disbanded. Two years later he was back in the again-reunited Butterfly, where he remained until this year.
R&B SINGER JIMMY McCRACKLIN DIES Rhythm and blues and pop singer Jimmy McCracklin died in the East Bay area city of San Pablo at age 91, according to the Oakland Tribune.
McCracklin's biggest was "The Walk," that hit No. 7 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart and No. 5 on the R&B chart. The Beatles recorded a version of "The Walk" in January 1969 during the "Let It Be" sessions. That version has been available on bootlegs for decades. In 1965-1966, McCracklin recorded three more songs that hit the R&B Top 20. Downey '80 s rockabilly outfit The Blasters took their name from The Blues Blasters, McCracklin's backup group.
RON WOOD MARRIES FOR THIRD TIME Rolling Stones and Faces guitarist Ron Wood married for the third time, according to Britain's Daily Mirror. Old Faces pal Rod Stewart served as best man at the 65-year-old Wood's nuptials to 34-year-old theater production company owner Sally Humphreys at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
It was a secret ceremony attended by only a handful of family and friends.
Wood and Humphreys became engaged last month when the rocker invited Humphreys' parents to the London premiere of The Stones' documentary, "Crossfire Hurricane." The following day, he asked her father for her hand.
EARLY BEATLES COLLABORATOR TONY SHERIDAN ILL Early Beatles collaborator Tony Sheridan has been hospitalized in Germany, according to a Facebook post by a Liverpool and Hamburg musician friend, Ted Taylor. No other information was given.
The Beatles first met English rock and roll singer-guitarist Sheridan on a trip to Hamburg in 1960. They began working with him on a return trip the following year and they became good friends. Producer Bert Kaempfert saw them performing together at the Hamburg clubs and suggested that they record together.
The album, "My Bonnie" was released in 1962 originally as by Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers (in reality, The Beatles). The single, "My Bonnie," with The Beatles backing Sheridan, was released in October 1961 and hit No. 5. During the two-day sessions, The Beatles recorded the Roaring Twenties hit, "Ain't She Sweet" with John Lennon on vocals that first drew the attention of their future manager, Brian Epstein, and the only song credited to Lennon and George Harrison, the instrumental, "Cry for a Shadow."

NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing.
Blue-eyed soul icon Bill Medley attained his legendary status as a member of The Righteous Brothers. A year after the duo formed in 1962, he and the late Bobby Hatfield scored hit after hit beginning with a song Medley wrote and produced, "Little Latin Lupe Lu."
Two years later, after hooking up with the hottest producer in the music biz at the time, Phil Spector, they hit No. 1 here and in the U.K. with "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," penned by Spector and the Brill Building hubby and wife team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill.
The next year, "Unchained Melody" hit No. 4 and "Ebb Tide" made it to No. 5.
A year later, in 1966, the Medley-produced, "You're My Soul and Inspiration," by Mann and Weill, also hit No. 1. The Righteous Brothers were back in the Top 10 again in 1974 when "Rock and Roll Heaven" peaked at No. 3.
The Righteous Brothers came to a sudden and tragic end on Nov. 5, 2003 when Hatfield was found dead in his Kalamazoo, Mich., hotel room 30 minutes before he and Medley were to take the stage. The cause of death was a cocaine overdose. He was 63. The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, eight months before Hatfield's death.
Aside from his world as a Righteous Brother, Medley began a solo career in 1968 when a couple of his singles, "Peace, Brother, Peace" and "Brown Eyed Woman" each broke the Top 40. In 1987, a duet with Jennifer Warnes, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," from the soundtrack to the hit film, "Dirty Dancing," gave medley another No. 1 smash and the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
In recent years, Medley had a long-term run at Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theatre in Branson, Miss. Now 72, Medley still performs regularly. He'll be on the road throughout the U.S. in February. On June 9 next year, he'll be at the Sycuan Casino in El Cajon, near San Diego.
Following that, he's headlining the Holland America Line's "Malt Shop Memories Cruise, next Nov. 2-9, out of Ft, Lauderdale.

New Scoreboard for Bragan Field!
February 22, 2013 9:43 AM ET
JACKSONVILLE, FL - The Jacksonville Suns announced today that installation of a new scoreboard and videoboard is underway at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. Two digital video screens will also be installed into the outfield wall. The project is scheduled to be completed prior to the Florida vs. Florida State Baseball game on March 26th and will be fully functional by Suns Opening Night on April 4th.
The new scoreboard and outfield wall screens will replace the original scoreboard and tri-vision wall signs installed in 2003 when the Baseball Grounds was constructed. Over the past several years the Suns and facilities management company SMG have struggled to keep the old equipment functional. Malfunctions during the 2011 Florida vs. Florida State game resulted in a complete scoreboard blackout and the new equipment will help bolster the Baseball Grounds' appeal as the City continues to pursue opportunities to host the ACC and other collegiate baseball tournaments.
Both the new videoboard and outfield wall screens are being manufactured and installed by TS Sports, of Dallas, Texas. The videoboard will feature a 58' x 25' 10mm, high-definition screen and include a fully digital and customizable scoreboard. Two 6' x72' 10mm high-definition video screens will replace the 6 rotating, tri-vision outfield wall panels. All the enhancements aim to bring fans a new dimension to the gameday experience at the Baseball Grounds.
"I am truly excited for the fans as well as the players at how much nicer this new scoreboard will be! It was getting hard to keep that old one running all the time, and it was difficult to see all the numbers and writing on it", said Suns President & Owner, Peter Bragan, Jr. "We wanted the new one to look - at least a little - like the real old one from Wolfson Park in the '60's that had sunrays sticking out all around. This one has a place at the very top for a big Suns logo."
The 1.2 million dollar project is being funded by the Tourist Development Council with revenue generated from the City's Occupancy Tax which is applied to all hotel rooms in the city. A portion of the Occupancy tax is allocated annually for maintenance, capital improvements and general enhancements of all the Sports Complex facilities including Everbank Field, Veterans Memorial Arena and the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
"I would like to thank the Mayor's office, SMG and everyone else for working with the Suns to make this happen, in time for the 2013 Southern League All-Star Game which is July 17th", said GM Chris Peters, "We will have people from all over our league as well as other baseball representatives and dignitaries here this summer, and the new scoreboard will really make Jacksonville shine!"

description: Understanding how rockets work is not exactly "rocket science." Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips demonstrate how basic physics is responsible for launching space shuttles and fireworks up into the air.

is_us_only: false

title: I Didn't Know That: How Rockets Work

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS Of all the different methods of propulsion invented by mankind, for pure, unadulterated, heart stopping excitement nothing really compares to rockets.
RICHARD AMBROSE: OK - I am about to initiate the launch sequence.  Now stand right back and witness the explosive power of rocketry. Whoa!
JONNY PHILLIPS (SYNC - TO RICHARD): Um - I think we're gonna need bigger rockets, don't you?
NARRATOR: Well boys, how about the biggest rocket of all time?  Imagine 50 jumbo jets at full power, strapped to a 36 storey building.  That's Saturn 5.
It takes something like this to catapult man to the moon.  But where does the colossal thrust actually come from?
RICHARD AMBROSE (PTC): Inside a rocket motor fuel is turned into gas through combustion and the gas is then forced out the back.  And the reason why escaping gas pushes a rocket forward is explained by Newton's Third Law of Motion.
JONNY PHILLIPS (PTC): Which is, as I'm sure you'll remember from school, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
RICHARD AMBROSE (PTC): That's the theory but what we need is a practical demonstration.  Now as Jonny opens the valve on this pressurized gas canister the air will rush out but at the same time an equal and opposite force will propel it this way. Go on Jonny - open it up.
JONNY PHILLIPS (PTC): So there you have it.  The basics of rocketry.  Well what did you expect?  It's not rocket science.
NARRATOR: The rocket's launch speed does not depend on the astronaut flooring the throttle but on how quickly the gas escapes from the exhaust.
Space rocket exhausts are hour glass shaped because gas flows at an accelerated rate if it's forced through a narrow section into a wider end.
NARRATOR: The exhaust is crucial no matter what the size of the rocket.
