Husband strike seals Rovers win
James Husband's late strike tipped a topsy-turvy clash at Bournemouth 2-1 in Doncaster's favour to keep them top of the table.
Last Updated: 09/03/13 8:04pm
James Husband's late strike tipped a topsy-turvy clash at Bournemouth 2-1 in Doncaster's favour to keep them top of the table.
The teenager fired in a left-footed volley in the 88th minute after his initial drive was blocked to condemn Bournemouth to their fifth straight defeat.
In a hard-fought contest, it was the Cherries who started the brighter with skipper Steve Cook rattling the crossbar with a fifth-minute header.
Veteran Neil Sullivan, 43, making his first appearance for Doncaster this season, was the busier goalkeeper throughout, producing a number of smart saves from Brett Pitman and Lewis Grabban.
Former Leeds striker Billy Paynter scored his 11th goal of the campaign to open the scoring for Rovers after converting a pin-point David Cotterill cross after 66 minutes.
Bournemouth responded and thought they had picked up a vital point in the promotion run-in when Matt Tubbs lobbed over a stranded Sullivan in the 85 minute.
And after Husband's late winner, Eddie Howe's men were centimetres away from grabbing a last-minute equaliser when Brett Pitman's header cannoned back off the post in stoppage time.

WASHINGTON — Republicans are anticipating major gains in governorships across the nation's industrial heartland and in several vital presidential swing states.
With a record 37 seats on the line Tuesday, the same antiestablishment wave expected to engulf congressional Democrats is roaring toward Democratic-held statehouses as well.
The damage may not be as devastating as the party of President Barack Obama had once feared. Democrats have a good shot at claiming governor's mansions now occupied by Republicans in California, Hawaii, Vermont and Minnesota and holding onto ones in New York, Maryland, Colorado, New Hampshire and Arkansas.
Still, Democrats braced for the loss of no fewer than five governorships — and likely far more. Republicans hoped for a net pickup of up to 12.
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Christie acknowledges federal subpoena
- Obama says Fox News's O'Reilly 'absolutely' unfair in extended interview
- Christie security officer hit with shoplifting charges
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
More politics
Gubernatorial wins crucial this year
Governorships are especially important this year. Those elected Tuesday will help shape national politics and policy beyond the next presidential election.
Governors will not only be behind-the-scenes players in 2012 presidential races, but they have a critical say in implementing the new health care law, and will actively participate next year in redrawing congressional and legislative districts based on the 2010 census.
On the eve of midterms, races remained extremely tight or at least highly competitive in California, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont.
In the California race to succeed Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, polls suggested former Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown was pulling ahead of Republican Meg Whitman in his three-decade-later comeback bid. Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, plowed more than $150 million of her own money into the race, making it one of the most expensive self-financed campaigns in history and keeping her in the game.
Both parties saw Florida and Ohio — states that decided the 2000 and 2004 presidential races, respectively — as top jewels of this year's contests. And both were going right down to the wire.
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, was waging a tough re-election bid against former Republican congressman John Kasich. Earlier polls showed Kasich ahead but later ones suggested a dead heat.
A Republican in the governor's chair in Ohio could complicate Obama's re-election bid, a dynamic not lost on the president, who visited Ohio 12 times over the past year.
In Florida, wealthy businessman Rick Scott was in a cliffhanger with Democrat Alex Sink, the state's chief financial officer. She had a slight lead in some polls, but both parties saw the contest as a toss up. Scott, who was dogged by a Medicare fraud scandal at the hospital corporation he once ran, pumped about $60 million of his family's money into the race and was getting substantial help from the national GOP.
There are now 26 Democratic governors and 24 Republicans. Thirty-seven seats will be filled on Tuesday, a record. More than half of these races have no incumbent running, assuring a robust freshman class of governors next year.
Why the Midwest matters so much
Those in the Midwest will wield the most clout. Not only will they help redesign legislative districts, but some will have to abolish existing ones.
Because of population losses or sluggish growth, Ohio is expected to lose two congressional seats and Michigan, Iowa and Illinois one apiece. The four now have Democratic governors. Republicans hope to pick up all four — and then some.
"When you look across the Great Lakes and the Midwest, that is a region of the country that has been dominated by Democrats at the state level. We are either tied or ahead in swath of the country between Pennsylvania and Iowa," said Mike Schrimpf, spokesman for the Republican Governors' Association.
Across the nation, Democrats are in danger of losing governorships in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and New Mexico — most of them important presidential battlegrounds.
"They are nearly all 2012 swing states," Schrimpf said. "If we gain back a majority of those swing states, it makes Obama's re-election a lot more difficult."
Most popular
Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association, said a president's party historically loses five governorships in midterms. With some Republicans predicting twice that many gains or more, Daschle said "frustrating them from reaching their goals is something we'll celebrate."
Obama paid heavy attention to governors races in the final days, personally campaigning for many Democrats. "I think he's been tremendously helpful," Daschle said.
Back in Rhode Island
Well, but maybe not in Rhode Island.
The Democratic candidate, Frank Caprio, had been holding his own until Obama declined to endorse him during a visit a week ago. That's because former Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee was running in the race as an independent. Chafee crossed party lines in 2008 to endorse Obama and the president was repaying the favor.
It didn't sit well with Caprio, who said Obama could "take his endorsement and really shove it." Caprio dipped in the polls following that remark. Over the weekend, Caprio said he wished he had chosen different language, although he didn't flatly apologize.
Polls show Chafee leading both Caprio and Republican John Robitaille.
"I don't think our candidate used the best choice of words in how he reacted to the situation," said Daschle. "But I was also pretty clear in expressing my frustration and disappointment that the White House didn't endorse him."

Autism is a prevalent developmental disorder, characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication. Though twin studies suggest a strong genetic component, genetic mapping studies have failed to identify a single gene underling this complex social disorder. Rather, they have implicated several interacting synaptic proteins that are involved in cell adhesion and cytoskeletal architecture, including the protein ProSAP2. Using cultured cells, this project explores the synaptic mechanisms regulating the dynamics of ProSAP2, a particulariy interesting protein implicated in autism spectrum disorders. | Project Status ONGOING 2010 |

The pair, who have been in a relationship for three years, got engaged in Ahmedabad on February 27 in the presence of Payal's parents
Payal Rohatgi, who recently got engaged to her wrestler-boyfriend Sangram Singh, says he has helped to bring stability in her life.
Payal Rohatgi and Sangram Singh engaged!
"Ever since I met Sangram, I am at peace with myself. I am glad I have found a partner who is a man of his words. He is humble, mature and a terrific human being," said Payal. "The sagaai was a simple ceremony. Sangram is a simple man with high moral values," she said.
Payal Rohatgi and Sangram Singh take their relationship to the next step
They will tie the knot this winter. "The shaadi will hopefully happen in November or December 2014. Sangram is the man for me. Of that I am sure," she said.
Payal Rohatgi and Sangram Singh to tie the knot this winter?
What about the two being such different human beings? Would they be able to make a marriage work? "I guess God has his own plans for all of us. And I trust his decision. He always does what's best for me," she said.

Miami Heat. Oct 5th 7:30 PM Pre-Season tv: FS Detroit Local radio: 97.1 FM Ready for this? Miami Heat come into town to help us kick off the 2009 pre season. Pretty exciting. Finally get a glimpse of our new team. Who will the starters be? Who will the main subs be? Will there be any sleepers stepping up to win a spot in the rotation? We will see. Better tune into this one as the official Pistons schedule does not have the next tv game listed until the 23rd.
Dwayne Wade scores 55 points....Heat wins 105-102... Villanueva scares little girl in front row...... Fans want Ben to wear a Ben wig........ Gordon scores 20, Gives up 32......
This really made me laugh for some reason. As long as Daye gets some time at the point then I'm good.
Kuester does some stupid coaching by over-playing McDyess and not leaving Afflalo in the game during crunch time.
Prolly mostly rookies playing... I heard Charlie V may not play cause of a minor injury. I want to see Wilcox... to see if he's got his wheels back.
I'm thinking Tay plays 41 minutes in this one. - Q is gonna want to see what he has. CV is out with a hammie and will tweet from the bench. Small ball? ...Yeah, I think we'll see it fosho. Will Bynum will be the playa of the game in this one. If Austin Daye plays more than 8 minutes, he'll succeed in losing ALL of the weight that he put on over the summer. For this game, Jonas Jerebko will be the next David Lee. Q should start The Fro in place of Charlie. Let him get the ovation. This game is a must [strike]win[/strike] play for the Pistons.

Trans-Lux Theatre
738 14th Street NW,
No one has favorited this theater yet
One of Washington's most elegant Art Deco theaters, the Trans-Lux opened in 1936, located on 14th Street between H Street and New York Avenue NW, about a block from the White House. It was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, and could seat 600 in the auditorium, on blue leather seats. The auditorium was decorated with painted murals by New York artist Andre Hudiakoff depicting various sports (the Trans-Lux showed newsreels and shorts).
Its name referred to the theater's rear-screen projection, which allowed for the house lights to be kept on low as patrons were constantly coming and going. During the 40s and 50s, a couple of radio stations had studios on the second and third floors of the Trans-Lux.
The exterior was notable for its huge aluminum tower marquee, one of the largest in the city, which featured etched glass with multicolored lights shining through. The theater was also one of the first public buildings in Washington to feature air-conditioning.
Starting in 1948, the theater switched from a newsreel policy to a feature film policy. The Trans-Lux was operated by Don King's Town Theatre Group during the theater' s final year of operation (1973-1974) and renamed the Town II Theatre. It was demolished in 1975, and its loss is still mourned by Art Deco afficionados to this day.
Recent comments (view all 10 comments)
First opened as a newsreel theatre, the Trans-Lux Theatre went over to screening feature films from December 1948, the first being Samuel Goldwyn's production of "Enchantment".
For its last year of operation June 1973 to May 1974 it was known as the Town II Theatre when it was taken over by Don King's Town Theatre Group.
Does anyone remember a D.C. movie theatre that in the 1940s and later was called the "Little Cinema" or "Little Theatre"? I've seen references to it but could not find it on Cinema Treasures. It was an art house. I'd like to know the address and/or other names for this place.
My father killed some time here watching newsreels while waiting for me to be born at GW Hospital across the street in 1938. Ten years later the TRANS-LUX switched from newsreels and shorts to first run movies, the first being ENCHANTMENT. It was an incredible success for decades and usually played the best Columbia Pictures such as BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, ON THE WATERFRONT, PICNIC, others. The Trans-Lux got away with charging much higher admission prices than LOEW'S, RKO or other downtown theaters; prices about 35% higher every single time.
Following the Martin Luther King riot and looting spree and the subsequent unchecked crime that persisted for over a decade (2 blocks from the White House, no less) the final picture I saw here was a women's prison R-rated sex flick called CHAINED HEAT. Too bad the Trans-Lux is long gone.
Where was the wet floor sign?
Worked the Trans-Lux a few times.. had a conventional booth, front screen, with Brinkert equipment.
Second floor of the theatre was divided into thirds the Eastern third (screen was on South wall) had an office then a cat walk through an equipment (ventilation)room, the booth was the center third. A viewing room (cry room?) was the Western third. The viewing room had several rows of seats (dozen??) with a side entrance into the booth but the main entrance was from the lobby stairway of the office building over the theatre. Great place to watch a movie from.. saw Jack Lemmon in "The Out of Towner's" there..
Here is a re-post of the December 2003 photos:
1960 Yellow pages list Trans-Lux Theatre and Headquarters of Trans-Lux Theatres (Trans-Lux, Plaza & Playhouse) both at 14th & H N.W tel# DI-7-7600..
1974 Yellow Pages list Trans-Lux Theatre corp but noTrans-Lux Theatre, lists Town2 at 14 & New York (one block South of 14th & H)
Despite the above-market admission prices, the TRANS-LUX under Trans-Lux management was always a class act. They ALWAYS had a quality movie and would play it off for many weeks. Always a newsreel, in honor of their news heritage. Seating offered better legroom than any other theater anywhere. No popcorn or other destractions.
After the King Riot took its toll, Don King did the best he could considering the surrounding decline in civilization. The much loved VINEYARD Restaurant in the Trans-Lux Building also died, as did ALEX STUART'S Restaurant across the street. The strip of nice restaurants and night clubs immediately adjacent, including the Casino Royal where you might have seen Patti Page or Fats Domino prior to the Riot Era, the entire strip became a sex haven with prostitutes and pimps, the bars a good spot for a mugging. The New York Presbeterian Church (as in Fox's "A Man Called Peter") was completely surrounded by street hookers. Obviously, the Trans-Lux wasn't drawing customers from the suburbs anymore. Having the cocaine mayor running the city was not a formula to facilitate peaceful moviegoing.
Having attended the Translux in the early 60's it was quite theatre. Very similiar to the Boston Translux, Boston was smaller and in the 50's became a theatre of XXX films. It too started out as rear projection I believe. I don't know if it ever became front projection. Played X,s till the 70's. Was closed and demolished or converted to something else.
The Trans Lux in 1960 when I 1st came to D.C. was a 1st theatre for Columbia & Universal pics. Saw several Doris Day films there including Oillow Talk. Also saw The Wackiest Ship in The Army thete 1st run plus many other films. I was stationed at NAS Anacostia(the Photo Center) from 1960 -1962 and 1964 -1966. Always 1st run while I was there.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Award-winning composer Richard Danielpour has been championed by musicians ranging from Leonard Bernstein to the Emerson String Quartet. Lacrimae Beati owes its origin to Mozart's Requiem and was conceived after a perilous flight in 2002. Darkness in the Ancient Valley, a symphony in five movements inspired by recent events in Iran, utilizes a wide range of Persian folk-melodies and Sufi rhythms. A Woman's Life is a cycle of poems by Maya Angelou which charts a moving trajectory from childhood to old age.
American Record Guide, March/April 2014
Darkness in the Ancient Valley (2011) is a Symphony in Five Movements, lasting 35 minutes. The piece is inspired by the oppression and endurance of the Iranian people, a topic the composer has more than a casual interest in. Lacrimae Beati (2009) (Tears of the Blessed One) refers to Mozart, whose tombstone Danielpour accidentally stumbled on (literally) while visiting a graveyard in Vienna. The sentiments are stated effectively. The program closes with A Woman's Life (2007), based on a cycle of poems on that topic by Maya Angelou, who read the cycle, apparently unforgettably, to Danielpour and his wife in 2006. I'm sure Ms Angelou must be thrilled with Danielpour's interpretation: these songs are pitch perfect and memorably touching. The finale is unspeakably beautiful. Ms Brown sings with loving understanding. The Nashville players sound great, as is usual these days.
Submitted on 10/21/13 by Dan Coombs
To my ears, the opening movement sounds like film music trying to evoke a Middle Eastern setting. But as the work progresses, pastiche gives way to passion, and the music develops its own blended and original voice. The final movement for orchestra and soprano (Hila Plitmann, for whom the part was written) brings the work home with an emotional and transcendent finale.
Rounding out the release are two other orchestral works. "Lacrimae Beati" sounds a little like Copland with its open intervals. Although based on the first eight bars of Mozart's Requiem (reportedly the last music he ever wrote), Danielpour so completely integrates the source material that there's almost no trace of the original composer. And that's a good thing -- this is a deeply personal work, a musing on mortality. It would be jarring to Mozart's music stick out from the rest of the composition.
"A Woman's Life," a setting of eight poems by Maya Angelou, has a distinctively American feel to it. But it's not Copland Americana. While the harmonies may sound similar, the rhythm of the words and the melodic seem to recall African-American gospel traditions. The work was composed for soprano Angela Brown, and her performance here infuses the words with understated drama and urgency. A beautiful orchestral song cycle that deserves a place in the repertoire.

The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has flown its last passenger-carrying service, at least in civilian colors, after a career spanning 43 years. Biman Bangladesh Airlines operated its final scheduled flight with the type from Dhaka to Birmingham in the UK via Kuwait on February 20, before operating nine local scenic flights as part of the type's farewell ceremonies over the following weekend. Birmingham's fire crews gave the final passenger-carrying DC-10 (registered S2-ACR) a water-arch send-off before it set course for the U.S. for disposal, possibly to a museum.
First flying on Aug. 29, 1970, the DC-10 played a part in the initial widebody revolution, joining the Boeing 747 and its fellow trijet, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, as the first of the twin-aisle jetliners. Although a series of fatal crashes marred the DC-10's reputation, it recovered sufficiently to outsell its Lockheed rival. Delivered to Biman on Dec. 30, 1988, S2-ACR was the penultimate aircraft to emerge from the Long Beach production line, which ultimately produced 446 DC-10s. In the UK, the DC-10 became best known as the aircraft chosen by Freddie Laker to launch his Skytrain low-cost transatlantic service, in so doing becoming the first non-U.S. operator of the type. Northwest Airlines, the last major airline to operate the DC-10, retired the last of its trijets in January 2007.
Although the DC-10 might have flown its last passenger-carrying service, the type remains in use as a freight-hauler with FedEx, which operates more than 60. Kelowna Flightcraft of Canada also flies four freighters. The U.S. Air Force continues to operate the KC-10A Extender tanker/transport, and the Netherlands air force has two tanker-modified KDC-10s. Casper, Wyoming's 10 Tanker Air Carrier also flies two modified for fire-fighting duties, while Orbis International has converted another to serve as a mobile eye hospital.
Biman has replaced its DC-10s with dry-leased Boeing 777-300ERs, which now ply long-haul routes such as those to Birmingham, Frankfurt, London and Rome. From this summer, Biman also plans to fly from Birmingham to New York. The airline took delivery of its third 777 on February 11, allowing it to retire the DC-10. It originally planned the retirement for December, but a delay in the delivery of the third 777 extended the DC-10's career by a few weeks. Biman expects a fourth 777 to arrive on March 21, and the airline also plans to acquire four Boeing 787-8s.

This is one of those curious things that is useless at all, one of the guitars in Top 20 strange guitars, the nanoguitar, was created by one science investigation team from Cornell University and it looks like the smallest, probably, guitar in the world. The guitar was only built to demonstrate the possibilities of the technology they were investigating.
The nanoguitar was built from crystalline silicon and it's no more than 10 microns long, but has 6 strings (each string has 50 nanometers long) and if you pluck any of the strings (of course with a special microscopic tool) they will resonate but at inaudible frequencies.
Of course this has no utility (in music world) and will not bring innovations to the guitar structure, but it's really weird and funny.

Fits Without Any Trouble, Includes the Track
March 30, 2014
I spent more time than I care to think about searching for fireplace doors for my Majestic fireplace before I found this one. As the description says, this is a full door and track kit from the fireplace manufacturer. Many other vendors sell replacement doors without any tracks, which don't work if you're adding doors to a fireplace that hasn't had any before. If you don't have tracks already, this kit is exactly what you're looking for.
If you're installing these for the first time, there is a little bit of technique required to fit the doors onto the track - you need to angle the doors into the track and apply a little bit of force to "pop" them into place. However, the doors are tempered glass, so you don't need to worry about breaking anything as long as you keep the amount of force reasonable. I'd recommend having a rubber mallet on hand to tap doors into place or to tap glass into alignment during the installation.
Pros:Because this is a kit from the original manufacturer, the fit was excellent on my fireplace. All of the screws that attach the track lined up with the mounting holes pre-drilled into the frame of the fireplace. Installation is very easy - it took me about half an hour to install the doors, and I was methodical about the process.Cons:None to speak of. |

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Weak Tea: Boehner Sidesteps Questions About GOP Defections Over Weak Spending Cuts
The strong suggestion here is that Boehner will need Democratic help to pass his bill. That's what you'd expect in an era of divided government, and it's what's happened on other key legislation like emergency funding bills, and Patriot Act reauthorization. It's a stark contrast to how things tend to work when one party controls both the legislature and the White House. During most of the Bush administration, and the first two years of Obama's presidency, key legislation typically passed with buy-in from only one party.
But while it's not a huge surprise Boehner will need Democratic votes, he should hope to need very few. We'll know just how raw a deal Republicans feel Boehner got when the vote comes down at 4 pm. A big defection is a bad sign for him vis-a-vis his standing with his caucus, and vis-a-vis his ability to line them up for bigger fights ahead.

Taliban to attend Paris meeting on Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban say they will attend a meeting in France to discuss Afghanistan's future but will not talk about peace and reconciliation.
Spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said by telephone on Monday that two of the group's representatives will attend next week's meeting, which is being organized by a French think tank on the outskirts of Paris.
Representatives from the Afghan government's peace council, political parties and the militant Islamist group Hezb-e-Islami will also attend.

Fans Suspect That This Britney Spears Bikini Pic Is Photoshopped [PHOTO]

Britney Spears posted a photo chilling poolside that has some of her fans crying, "Photoshop!"
People sleeping in public is funny enough on its own, but after this woman was caught sleeping in a mall the internet delivered hilarious photoshop gold.
I'd rather look bad without photoshop than look even worse with photoshop, just saying.
Students at an all-girls school were shocked to find out their yearbook photos were altered to make them look thinner.
Lil Boosie is clapping back at allegations that he photoshopped his son into a photo with him—and he has video proof to crush all the rumors.
Photos that purport to be the untouched images from Justin Bieber's Calvin Klein photo shoot have revealed plenty of interesting "enhancements."
Imagine you're waiting at a bus stop. You're looking around, when you notice that the poster ad inside the bus stop looks just like you. Then you realize it is you. LOL! Watch the video and see what happened during the 'Photoshop Live - Bus Stop Prank' It's pretty coo how they pull it off.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your favorite celebrity was just like one of us? What if they worked in the cubicle right next to yours - or what if they were just like that average guy or girl that you see every now and again in the laundry room at your apartment complex?
These days, it's almost unheard of to see a celebrity photo that hasn't been airbrushed or otherwise digitally manipulated to make the person in the picture look nearly flawless. While they may make pretty magazine covers, two researchers are proposing a ratings system to let people know exactly how much a photo has been manipulated.
Those who can claim mastery over Photoshop have a lot more skills than most of us might think. They can make celebrities and models look way better than they actually are, and they even have the ability to create people out of blank canvases, literally. Click after the jump and watch how a simple sketch in Photoshop slowly becomes a real-looking woman.

People who are both very obese and who smoke increase their risk of death by 3.5 to 5 times that of people of normal weight who never smoke, finds a study in the November issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
According to the study, 20 percent of obese adults in the United States smoke, which puts them at a higher risk of death caused by cancer and circulatory disease. The authors further found that, in general, being a current smoker was a far stronger risk factor for cancer death than being obese.
"Smoking has been known as a very strong risk factor for many cancers, particularly lung cancer, which is the most common site of cancer death," said lead author D. Michal Freedman, Ph.D., of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute.
The study surveyed more than 80,000 current and former radiologic technologists between the ages of 22 and 92 who completed a self-administered questionnaire in the period from 1983 to 1989. They all were followed through December 2002 and the number of deaths was reported.
The questionnaire collected information such as birth date, height, weight and smoking behavior. Participants' body mass indexes were calculated from their weight and height A BMI of 30 to 34.9 was considered obese, and more than 35 was very obese.
Smoking behaviors were categorized by duration, intensity and current status. Freedman and her colleagues analyzed a measure that included both cigarettes smoked per day and duration of smoking. They found, in general, that more smoking or "pack-years" was related to a higher risk of death.
Also, in both women and men of all ages, the risk of death from circulatory disease increased with each additional increment in the BMI. When participants were obese and also current smokers, their risk of death from circulatory disease jumped even higher to an increase of 6- to 11-fold for those under age 65, compared to the participants of normal weight who never smoked.
The study was part of an ongoing collaboration of the National Cancer Institute, the University of Minnesota and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
Despite the many existing health campaigns aimed at educating the public about the dangers of smoking and obesity, experts say there is a definite need for increased efforts to change the behaviors of those at risk.
"We have long known that education and information are not sufficient for health behavior change," said Susan J. Curry, Ph.D., director of the Health Research and Policy Centers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "We need to communicate realistic and achievable goals, and we need to help people understand that they are not solely responsible for their increased risk. The tobacco industry and food industry, for example, contribute greatly to an environment that promotes unhealthful behaviors such as tobacco use and unhealthful eating."

Running back Fred Jackson signs one-year contract extension with Bills
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Fred Jackson has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
The 33-year-old running back signed a one-year contract extension with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, placing Buffalo's unquestioned leader on offence under contract with the Bills through 2015.
"I just love to play this game," Jackson said. "Usually when guys get to be my age they're ready to kind of shut it down and not come out here and get beat up like we do at training camp, but I wake up every day and I love it. I'm blessed to have an opportunity to play for a team like the Buffalo Bills."
Jackson's unlikely success story has made him one of the most popular Bills of the last decade. A former undrafted free agent from tiny Coe College, Jackson is known as much for his slashing, punishing running style on the field as well as his character and leadership away from it.
Jackson earned a spot on the Bills' practice squad in 2006 after years of toiling away in various minor leagues. He became a full-time starter in 2009, topping the 1,000-yard mark with 1,062 yards rushing, and has been an integral part of the team's offence ever since while sharing time in the backfield with players like C.J. Spiller and Marshawn Lynch.
Jackson doesn't appear to be slowing down with age. Following an injury-plagued 2012 campaign, Jackson rushed for 890 yards and nine touchdowns last season while battling two separate knee sprains. In 2011, he had one of the most productive years of his career, averaging 5.5 yards a carry and nearly topping the 1,000-yard mark in just 10 games.
Jackson has rushed for 5,121 yards and 28 career touchdowns while adding 2,139 yards and six touchdowns as a receiver.
"Fred's been a great pro," Bills coach Doug Marrone said. "In my time here with him he's been a very good leader and very productive. … Age is a number for him. He really doesn't seem that way. The way he runs and the way he prepares himself is a credit to how he takes care of his body."
Jackson hopes that this new deal will give him an opportunity to finish his career with the Bills, whenever that is.
"I want to play as long as possible, but if I can get three or four more years I'll be happy," Jackson said. "But we'll see what happens."
Jackson's 7-year-old son, Braeden, then spoke up while standing next to his father at the podium:
"Can I tell you how many years I'd like you to play? Five."
"Five more years, that's where I've got to go," Jackson answered to laughter. "By that time, I'll have (one of my other kids) telling me to do something different."

NGOs Condemn Baseless Convictions and Violence Against Cambodian Human Rights Defenders
Joint OrganizationsMay 24, 2012 - Shortly after a joint statement condemning the violent and arbitrary arrest of 13 women from the Boeung Kak community, Housing Rights Task Force (HRTF), Sahmakum Teang Tnaut (STT), Equitable Cambodia, Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO), Community Legal Education Center (CLEC), Inclusive Development International (IDI), and Licadho Canada express their outrage at the baseless criminal convictions of the women and the utter travesty of justice that occurred today.
After being detained for two nights, the women were woken before 5 am today and taken to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court. Their lawyers and the community had not been informed in advance of this unusually early transfer.
Approximately 100 of the women's community and family members soon gathered at the courthouse to show their support. They were quickly surrounded by a force of over 120 local police and riot police. The area surrounding the court was then sealed off, with police blockades set up over several blocks, preventing access for additional observers and media.
Around noon, word emerged that the 13 women were to be charged under articles 34 and 259 of the 2001 Land Law, and article 504 of the Penal Code. Article 34 of the Land Law states that any "illegal occupant" of certain property shall be subject to article 259, which provides for imprisonment of one to five years and fines from 5-50 million Riel (US$1,250 - US$12,500). Penal Code article 504 describes the crime of obstruction of public officials with aggravating circumstances. It carries fines from 1-2 million Riel (US$250-US$500) and imprisonment from six months to one year.
There is no basis for the "illegal occupant" charge against these women. Since August 2011, when Prime Minister Hun Sen issued a sub-decree granting 12.44 hectares of the Boeung Kak Lake area to the remaining resident families, the entire community has been consistently calling on the government to mark the boundaries of the land they were given. They have organized marches and written multiple letters and petitions seeking to resolve the land dispute. One defendant was even wearing a shirt bearing the plea to please demarcate the 12.44 hectares today.
The authorities have refused or ignored all of the residents' demarcation requests. Lakeside families have thus been left without clear knowledge of the boundaries of the 12.44 hectare area.
As for the obstruction charge, it requires proof of violent resistance against an official who is trying to enforce a law or a proper government order. As video from the events on May 22 shows, the demonstration was entirely peaceful. The demonstrators were harassed and intimidated by a sizeable police force for hours before the 13 women were violently arrested, as they sat singing on the empty sand where 18 families' homes used to be located. There is no indication that the police were acting within the scope of their duties, or enforcing a law or proper government order.
Regardless, the trial began this afternoon before presiding judge Pou Phov Soeun approximately one hour after the Phnom Penh prosecutor filed these spurious charges. The prosecutor had first begun interviewing the women just three hours earlier.
The 13 women's lawyers immediately requested a delay to allow for them to prepare their defense - a delay they are unequivocally entitled to under Cambodia's Code of Criminal Procedure articles 48 and 304. Although the law does not provide for judicial discretion upon such a request, it was denied. The lawyers then requested the case file and evidence, which the law also expressly entitles them to review. Again the request was denied.
The defense lawyers then made a request to bring witnesses - again their right under the law. Four such witnesses stood ready to testify, just behind the police line in front of the courthouse. This request was also denied.
By 5:30 pm, all 13 women had been sentenced to 2.5 years in prison. The 72-year-old, Nget Khun, had 1.5 years of her sentence suspended. Five others had 6 months of their sentences suspended. The main, most active representatives received the full sentence. The sentences appear directly related to the level of activism engaged in by the women.
By the time the 13 women were taken from the court, around 200 mixed police lined their path in a staggering show of force. There is little doubt this unprecedented display was intended to intimidate the community members and observers in front of the courthouse.
During the trial, the police arrested two more Boeung Kak lake community representatives, Sao Sareoun and Ly Chanary. Both were prepared to testify as witnesses for the 13 women who were on trial. Their trial began immediately after the verdict for the first trial was announced. This second trial was suspended around 6:30 pm. The whereabouts of Sareoun and Chanary are currently unknown.
"This was nothing short of a show trial - a complete charade," said Sia Phearum, Secretariat Director of HRTF. "The women were peacefully demonstrating, continuing their struggle to have their land clearly marked according to the 12.44 hectare sub-decree. They were seeking an end to the ongoing dispute surrounding Boeung Kak lake."
"The speed with which the trial began and ended, and the court's refusal to follow Cambodian law, reveals a complete disregard for the fundamental rights of Cambodian citizens," said Naly Pilorge, Director of LICADHO. "Under no circumstances should an individual be required to defend themselves against serious felony charges within an hour of them being filed. This was a travesty."
As the women faced unjustifiable charges inside, the crowd of supporters waiting in front of the courthouse were outnumbered and intimidated by the large police force. Among the observers stood Venerable Luon Sovath, a tireless human rights defender and Cambodian monk who is currently one of three nominees for the prestigious 2012 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders.
Just after 10 am, Venerable Sovath was violently accosted by religious officials and men in plain clothes, wrestled into a waiting vehicle with the help of police, and whisked away to Wat Botum in Phnom Penh. He was detained until about 8 pm, before being released. A video of his assault is available here.
The undersigned organizations call for an end to violent responses to peaceful demonstrations; and for the authorities to drop the charges, vacate the unjustified and improper convictions, and immediately release: Nget Khun; Tep Vanny; Kong Chantha; Srong Srey Leap; Tho Davy; Chan Navy; Ngoun Kimlang; Pao Saopea; Cheng Leap; Soung Samai; Phan Chan Reth; Heng Mom; Toul Srey Pov; Sao Sareoun; and Ly Chanary; Sao Sareoun; and Ly Chanary.

My outfit for our anniversary dinner!
It was an extremely cold night so I was going to go with pants but I wanted to wear one of my new shoes so I sucked it up and wore a big winter coat and tights to stay warm.
Cardi: Banana Republic
Top: Gift from my sister (not sure what the label is)
Skirt: Aritzia
Tights: DKNY
Shoes: Christian Louboutin "Lady Gres"
Necklace: "Love" pendant - wedding present from my mom
It's funny because I do love wearing dresses but I don't wear skirts too often. It is so easy for me to play around with dresses, adding belts, blazers, cardigans, what not, but skirts are a different story. I seem to never know what to wear with them. I love this little grey one that's a little bit of a tulip shape and it's got an exposed zipper on the back. I've only worn this one other time to work so I was happy that I was able to wear it out to dinner. They suede grey Louboutins went well with the skirt and the purple top added just what I needed to the otherwise drab outfit.
We were lucky to get a parking spot close by so I did not have to freeze my buns off! :)

A Dedication Ceremony for the Town of Penfield's Founder, Daniel Penfield.
It was a moment many people had been waiting for: the dedication of Daniel Penfield's statue after many delays and frustrating complications. As a matter of fact, it's been nearly four years since Penn Yan sculptor, Don Sottile, was commissioned to create this statue as part of Penfield's Bicentennial celebrations during 2010. There were some interesting challenges along the way such as: what did Daniel Penfield look like? Sculptor Sottile said that the only really good portrait of Mr. Penfield was in the Town Hall but the requirement was to make him look younger. And, how did he dress? Town Historian, Kathy Kanauer, informed Sottile that Mr. Penfield was a bit eccentric and liked to wear clothing that was out of fashion.
After months of work and approvals from town representatives, a clay model was finished and cast into the final bronze statue. Next, came environmental requirements, pedestal design and even a search for a suitable millstone and bench.
It all came together during the evening of Thursday, July 12, 2012 when Town Supervisor Tony LaFountain asked Kathy Kanauer and Don Sottile to speak to the attending crowd before unveiling the plaque in front of Mr. Penfield's statue – the statue that will be overlooking historic Four Corners for many years to come.

Twelve-bar blues
The 12-bar blues or blues changes is one of the most prominent chord progressions in popular music. The blues progression has a distinctive form in lyrics, phrase, chord structure, and duration. In its basic form, it is predominantly based on the I-IV-V chords of a key.
The blues can be played in any key. Mastery of the blues and rhythm changes are "critical elements for building a jazz repertoire".[1]
In the key of C, one basic blues progression (E from above) is as follows.[2] (For the most commonly used patterns see the section "Variations", below.)
C C C C or C7 C7 C7 C7 F F C C or F7 F7 C7 C7 G G C C or G7 G7 C7 C7
Chord | Function | Numerical | Roman numeral |
Tonic | T | 1 | I |
Subdominant | S | 4 | IV |
Dominant | D | 5 | V |
Chords may be also represented by a few different notation systems such as sheet music and electronic music. A basic example of the progression would look like this, using T to indicate the tonic, S for the subdominant, and D for the dominant, and representing one chord. In Roman numeral analysis the tonic is called the I, the sub-dominant the IV, and the dominant the V. (These three chords are the basis of thousands of pop songs, which thus often have a blues sound even without using the classical 12-bar form.)
Using said notations, the chord progression outlined above can be represented as follows.[3]
The first line takes four bars, as do the remaining two lines, for a total of twelve bars. However, the vocal or lead phrases, though they often come in threes, do not coincide with the above three lines or sections. This overlap between the grouping of the accompaniment and the vocal is part of what creates interest in the twelve bar blues.
"W.C. Handy, 'the Father of the Blues,' codified this blues form to help musicians communicate chord changes."[4] Many variations are possible. The length of sections may be varied to create eight-bar blues or sixteen-bar blues.
In the original form, the dominant chord continued through the tenth bar; later on the V-IV-I-I "shuffle blues" pattern became standard in the third set of four bars:[5]
The common quick to four or quick-change (quick four[6]) variation uses the subdominant chord in the second bar:
These variations are not mutually exclusive; the rules for generating them may be combined with one another (or with others not listed) to generate more complex variations.
Seventh chords are often used just before a change, and more changes can be added. A more complicated example might look like this, where "7" indicates a seventh chord:
Using a seventh chord I IV I I7 IV IV7 I I7 V IV I V7
When the last bar contains the dominant, that bar may be called a turnaround; otherwise the last four measures is the blues turnaround.
In jazz, 12-bar blues progressions are expanded with moving substitutions and chordal variations. The cadence (or last four measures) uniquely leads to the root by perfect intervals of fourths.
The Bebop blues:[7]
This progression is similar to Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time", "Billie's Bounce", Sonny Rollins's "Tenor Madness", and many other bop tunes.[8] "It is a bop soloist's cliche to arpeggiate this chord [A7♭9 (V/ii = VI7♭9)] from the 3 up to the ♭9."[9]
There are also minor 12-bar blues, such as John Coltrane's "Equinox" and "Mr. P.C.",[10] and "Why Don't You Do Right?", made famous by Lil Green with Big Bill Broonzy and then Peggy Lee with the Benny Goodman Orchestra.[citation needed] The chord on the fifth scale degree may be major (V7) or minor (v7), in which case it fits a dorian scale along with the minor i7 and iv7 chords, creating a modal feeling.[11] Major and minor can also be mixed together, a signature characteristic of the music of Charles Brown.[citation needed]
While the blues is most often considered to be in sectional strophic form with a verse-chorus pattern, it may also be considered as an extension of the variational chaconne procedure. Van der Merwe (1989) considers it developed in part specifically from the American Gregory Walker, though the conventional account would consider hymns to have provided the repeating chord progression or harmonic formulae of the blues.[12]
Lyrical patterns[edit]
The lyrics of most blues songs consist of verses of three lines, of which the first two are the same or vary slightly in wording, often with an interjection in the second line:
- I hate to see the evening sun go down,
- Yes, I hate to see that evening sun go down
- 'Cause it makes me think I'm on my last go 'round
However, many songs using the blues chord progression have lyrics that are not in the three-line form. For instance, "I'm Moving On" has a verse in the first four bars and a chorus in the final eight bars:
- That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
- Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back.
- I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
- You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
- So I'm movin' on.
Here is an example showing the 12-bar blues pattern and how it fits with the lyrics of a given verse. One chord symbol is used per beat, with "-" representing the continuation of the previous chord:
I - - - IV - - - I - - - I7 - - - Woke up this morning with an awful aching head IV - - - IV7 - - - I - - - I7 - - - Woke up this morning with an awful aching head V - - V7 IV - - IV7 I - - - I - V V7 My new man had left me, just a room and an empty bed.
- Bessie Smith, "Empty Bed Blues"
Another example, "Johnny B. Goode" (written and first recorded by Chuck Berry), applies a "shuffle" or "light 'swing'" rhythm to one of the more common twelve-bar progressions:[citation needed]
Line | Pickup | Measure 1 | Measure 2 | Measure 3 | Measure 4 | ||||
1 | Deep | Bb (I) | down in Lou'siana, close to | Bb (I) | New Orleans, way | Bb (I) | back up in the woods among the | Bb (I) | evergreens, |
2 | There | Eb (IV) | stood a log cabin, made from | Eb (IV) | earth and wood, where | Bb (I) | lived a country boy named | Bb (I) | Johnny B. Goode. |
3 | He | F (V) | never really learned to read or | F7 (V7) | write too well, but he could | Bb (I) | play a guitar just like a- | Bb (I) | -ringin' a bell. |
Another progression, D-D7-G7-A7, appears in this collection (Axelsson & Strängliden 2007, 55).[clarification needed]
"Twelve-bar" examples[edit]
The 12-bar blues chord progression is the basis of thousands of songs, not only formally identified blues songs. The vast majority of boogie-woogie compositions are 12-bar blues, as are many early rock songs.[13]
This section contains embedded lists that may be poorly defined, unverified or indiscriminate. (April 2015) |
- Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" (1959)
- The Andrews Sisters' "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" (1941)
- Rock Around the Clock (1952)
- Muddy Waters' "Train Fare Blues" (1948)
- Howlin' Wolf's "Evil" (1954)
- Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" (1954).[14]
- Nappy Brown's "Night Time is the Right Time" (1957), made famous by Ray Charles
- Henry Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk" (1961).

The twelve-bar blues, a chromatic chord progression, is a logical formula for blues music: without the dominant's major minor seventh chord (in C: G7), the sequence does not accord with the tonal "V-I" relationship. Instead, it would be based mostly on a plagal cadence—an IV-I change (in C: F-C). The key is fully verified with the V7 (G7) chord,[16] but only after going over the subdominant (F) and tonic (C).
Additionally, the chord progression meshes elements of major and minor. The major-minor (dominant) seventh chords used on each degree alone seem to fall in some gray area between the strong, content major chord and the somber, conflicted minor chord.[citation needed] The subdominant's seventh chord is of note here, because of its odd relationship with the tonic.
In classical music, the 'dominant (major-minor) seventh chord on the tonic would almost certainly resolve elsewhere (rather than being resolved to), especially its subdominant (from C7: to F). While at first, it seems to resolve well to the subdominant, this is merely a tonicization (brief leave to another key), because of the earlier emphasis on the dominant seventh (C7), and because of the dominant seventh that appears on the subdominant, an element found in the Dorian mode. Traditionally, the seventh of the subdominant chord would not be flattened, as it would contradict the third of the tonic chord. This undermines the expected resolution and also questions whether the actual tonic is major or minor in quality: this seventh chord (F-A-C-E♭) resolves back to the tonic by resolving both up a step to (E♭-->E) (mediant), and down a step to from (F-->E) (leading tone); and down harmonically to I.
When returning to the I7 chord, the major third sounds like a Picardy third resolution, and the minor seventh no longer seems to resolve to the sixth (B♭-->A, the third of IV; instead it seems like a blue note that adds a tense, funky, thick color to the tonic.
In jazz[edit]

Jazz is considered to have some of its roots in the blues,[17] and the blues progression is one of several blues elements found in jazz such as blue notes, blues-like phrasing of melodies, and blues riffs. Tunes that utilize the jazz-blues harmony are fairly common in the jazz repertoire, especially from the bebop era. In the 1910-20 period, early jazz adopted the 12-bar blues with sectional two-or-three strain dance forms. By the 1930s as jazz ensembles increased in size, many composers began to rely on 32-bars instead of 12-bar. A twelve-bar jazz blues will usually feature a more sophisticated—or at any rate a different—treatment of the harmony than a traditional blues would, but the underlying features of the standard 12-bar blues progression remain discernible. One of the main ways the jazz musician accomplishes this is through the use of chord substitutions—a chord in the original progression is replaced by one or more chords which have the same general "sense" or function; in this case occurring especially in the turnaround (i.e., the last four bars). One well-known artist that sang this form of jazz was Billie Holiday, and almost all well known instrumental jazz musicians will have recorded at least one variation on this theme. Over time, swing became increasingly more popular and bands employed famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Doris Day, Perry Como, Billie Holiday, Helen Forrest, and Bing Crosby.
The 12-bar blues form, in the commonly played key of B♭, often becomes:
Bb7 / Eb7 / Bb7 / Bb7 / Eb7 / Edim7 / Bb7 / Dm7 - G7 / Cm7 / F7 / Dm7 - G7 / Cm7 - F7 //
Transposed to the key of C:
C7 / F7 / C7 / C7 / F7 / F♯dim7 / C7 / Em7 - A7 / Dm7 / G7 / Em7 - A7 / Dm7 - G7 //
where each slash represents a new measure, in the jazz-blues. The significant changes include the Edim7, which creates movement, and the III-VI-II-V or I-VI-II-V turnaround, a jazz staple.
There is, however, no standard form of jazz blues, and several common variations. For example, the diminished chord in bar 6 is often omitted, and many turnarounds are possible. An example turnaround using chromatic chord movement could be:
Dm7 / G7 / C7 - Eb7 / D7 - Db7
Another variation has the cycle concluding on the dominant chord as in a standard blues. This feature introduces a tension that propels the listener's expectation toward the next chord change cycle. Here is an example:
C7 - A7 / Dm7 - G7
Count Basie's version of the blues progression, which came into wide use, demonstrates several of these variations (shown here in the key of F):
F7 / Bb7 Bdim / F7 / Cm7 F7 / Bb7 / Bdim / F7 / D7 / Gm7 / C7 / F7 / Gm7 C7 /
Alto sax great Charlie Parker introduced a fluid chord sequence for jazz blues, using tritone substitution and chromatic chord changes typical of the be-bop era. It has come to be known as Bird Blues, after his nickname, "Yardbird," or more simply, "Bird."
For example, similar progressions may be found in, Parker's "Blues for Alice", Wes Montgomery's "West Coast Blues", and the non-jazz Toots Thielemans' "Bluesette", Parker's "Confirmation", and Harry Warren's "There Will Never Be Another You".[19] Below is a common version of the Bird Blues chord sequence, shown here in F:
Fmaj7 / Em7b5 A7b9 / Dm7 Db7 / Cm7 F7 / Bb7 / Bbm7 Eb7 / Am7 D7 / Abm7 Db7 / Gm7 / C7 / F D7 / Gm7 C7 //
A more modern example is the A-section of Pat Metheny's "Missouri Uncompromised". The first 4 bars and the last 4 bars are taken from the classic blues (albeit without the dominant quality); the middle 4 bars, although completely altered, still follow the functional pattern of the blues:
- B♭/A is a suspended subdominant, which serves as a pivot point modulating to B♭ major, where it becomes an unstable form of the tonic;
- D♭/A♭ serves as a more stable version of a (now minor) tonic substitute (tonic of the subdominant is subdominant by association to the original key);
- E♭/G serves as a pivot point modulating back to A major, where it becomes the tritone substitute of the tonic;
- D/F♯ and Dm/F are both subdominant, creating a natural movement from the tonic substitute above to the dominant chord in bar 9.
A / A / A / A / Bb/A / Db/Ab / Eb/G / D/F# Dm/F / E / D / A / A //

text: You know the sound flavor from this particular combo of my gears never eases to amaze me as I listen to my music everyday. I have tried all the possible combos given the gears in my possession and this one is just different and stands out clearly. When the music doesn't sound as good as I want, I know the problem is with the recording. The diy thingy is fun and I am just getting into it. The K film caps are great as they sound even better with time.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – A civil lawsuit against Tupelo attorney Kirk Tharp is on hold pending resolution of a misdemeanor assault charge against him in Lee County Justice Court.
"I'm saying until it's resolved," said Senior Circuit Judge Kenneth Coleman of Okolona on Wednesday, "even if it goes to the U.S. Supreme Court."
Tharp is accused of attacking 18-year-old Kurtis Yarbrough at the Mooreville One Stop on Sept. 10.
Trial is set for Nov. 29 on that charge.
Yarbrough's attorney, Jamie Franks of Tupelo, argued Wednesday that he should be allowed to gather evidence, including Tharp's questioning under oath, while the criminal case is pending.
Franks said his client was injured, his hearing aids damaged during the incident, and he's had to drop out of school.
Without moving ahead on the civil case, Franks said Yarbrough is hurt by the delay.
Tharp's attorney, Kent Smith of Holly Springs, urged the judge to stop the civil process until the criminal case is resolved to avoid his client's potential self-incrimination under oath in a deposition.
"We think it's unfair to force him to answer discovery questions," Smith insisted. "Mr. Tharp suffers huge prejudice if he's forced to go forward" in the civil case.
Coleman said that because a video exists of the alleged incident, the record won't change.
"This case is better served by sustaining the defense motions," he said.
In Justice Court, Tharp pleaded not guilty to Yarbrough's complaint and is free on $500 bond. Harry Sumner of Tupelo represents him on that charge.

Frankie Dettori: talked to Clare Balding and admitted to taking cocaine
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)Dettori admits in C4 interview to cocaine use
FRANKIE DETTORI has admitted for the first time that he took cocaine in a television interview with Clare Balding, to be broadcast on Channel 4 News at 7pm on May 16.
"I'm very ashamed and embarrassed, and paid a very big price for it, you know. I spent six months not doing the thing that I love, racing," Dettori told Channel 4 News.
"Things were going bad, I was depressed and I guess a moment of weakness and I fell for it and I've only got myself to blame. I can't blame anybody else.
"The embarrassment of when it come out, I had to hide in my house for a week. The paparazzi outside. The embarrassment of telling the children, you know. You know they still go to school, they might get bullied and so it was a very, very difficult time."
The 42-year-old, who is set to return to action at Leicester on May 20 where the course will run a race named in his honour, tested positive at Longchamp on September 16 with the ban effective from November 20, the date of Dettori's original hearing in front of a medical commission.
Dettori has often held his hands up and accepted the ban, describing it as "a moment of madness", but had always avoided confirming the substance for which he tested positive was cocaine. But pressed by Balding, Dettori talks about his cocaine use and its impact for the first time in an interview that also covers the steroid scandal that has engulfed his former employer Godolphin.
