Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Many of you may be firing up the grill this weekend to cook Dad a nice meal. I've got a recipe right here that will put a different spin on his beloved steak. You know--something a little different than the standard ol' T-Bone.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Chimichurri, it is a sauce originally from Argentina. It can be green or red and there are countless variations of both. The green sauce is composed of oil, lemon or vinegar (or in this case both), garlic, and herbs (and this is where the variations come in to play). Parsley, cilantro, mint, and oregano are all suitable herbs when making a green chimichurri, but I prefer the combination of flavors from the parsley and cilantro. To add more flavor to the meat, I rub in a sweet and savory spice mixture that compliments the sauce well.
Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
serves 6
Spice Rub
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Chimichurri sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 medium shallots, peeled and quartered
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3 cups (packed) stemmed fresh parsley
2 cups (packed) stemmed fresh cilantro
1 ½ lbs. flank steak
2 Tablespoons olive oil
For Spice Rub
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl (Can be made 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature).
For Chimichurri Sauce
Combine first 8 ingredients in a blender; blend until almost smooth. Add 1/4 of parsley and 1/4 of cilantro; blend until incorporated. Add remaining herbs in three more additions, pureeing until almost smooth after each addition (Can be made 3 hours ahead).
For Flank Steak
Let steak stand at room temperature 45 minutes. Prepare charcoal or gas grill for high heat.
Pat steak dry with paper towels; brush with oil. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with the spice rub using all of mixture (coating will be thick). Place steak on grill; sear 4-6 minutes on each side for medium rare. Transfer to platter; cover loosely with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain and at a slight diagonal so that the slices are wide. Serve with Chimichurri sauce. Enjoy!

Recent posts: Tribal Warriors
Zas & Sanze are back with their latest works "Caprioska" which is backed up with two stomping remixes. The Tallinn based dynamic duo continue to churn out quality vibes and they now have a very impressive back catalogue consisting of original material and a ton of remixes.
The Original Mix sets us off with a superbly worked prog groove with tech influences. Beefy kicks and sharp hats provide a steady rhythm accompanied by cool house stabs. The bassline throbs through the track and adds extra weight to the rhythm while a fantastic vocal sample adds a strong texture, another top notch effort!
The first remix comes from Tribal Warriors aka M.I.K.E./Push. As we all know Mike is a very busy guy with DJing and a heavy studio workload but thankfully he has had time to revamp Tribal Warriors as it was one of his popular monikers. Keep an eye out for more TW material in the future. The remix intros with some very cool synth and FX sounds that lead up to a nice rounded kick and crispy hat combo. Lots of tech elements creep through here with the bass taking a dominant role, great use of the vocal here and some fantastic synth work gives this track a huge punch!
Yuriy From Russia provides the next remix, Yuriy has been well received since his first couple of tracks on Bonzai Progressive and Progrez. Here he delivers more of that quality with a well rounded progressive house groove. Nice and steady rhythms are built with minimal percussions and chunky kicks. The big contributor here is that bassline as it meanders through the sound with a warm lush vibe, stabby synths make their mark while on the break a short melodic pad gives way to this thumping prog groove.

Oli Cassidy and James Trystan make up the duo of Filth & Splendour and after appearing on a few compilations they make their full Bonzai debut with "Romper Stomper" along with a couple of banging remixes. Based in London and enjoying residencies at top clubs, the guys run their own label Itch Records and they have also appeared on many other labels releasing everything from house, deep house, techno, electro and progressive tech.
The original mix is a wild ride into tech house, the track intros with a well rounded subtle vibe but soon transforms with a thick grungy feel on the bass and real crisp razor sharp hats over a cool thumping kick. Perfect fodder for the floors and will easily get the crowd rocking with a romp and a stomp!
Up first on remix duties is the return of techno master Tribal Warriors aka M.I.K.E.. TW has made a comeback with his latest track "08" on Basiks and that unique sound has stayed true. Today we see his talent applied beautifully to this track. Well crafted techno kicks and hats intro the tune with a simply amazing hook coming in soon after, deep tech house at its best here folks, listen and learn!
Amsterdam based Ozan Kanik is our next remixer and he delivers the goods in style, huge kick and offset bass intros with a mini break leading up to a full on pumping groove. On the main break a brilliant robotic vocal fits perfectly in the sound and then we kick right back into it for a huge banging sound.

We caught up with M.I.K.E./Push as he took time out of his very busy schedule to answer a few questions. With a lot of projects on the go and the owner of many different monikers we get an exclusive reveal on some of Mike's best known guises as he resurrects them for the 21st century along with an insight into the man himself.
Hi Mike, thanks for taking the time to have a chat, how are you today?
Mike: Hi thanks. Can't complain, just finished a remix and a brand new track, happy days!
You've been based in New York for a few years now, how have you been adjusting to life in a new country?
Mike: About three years now, yes. Life is MUCH different in New York City. I did visit many times before, but living is a totally different experience. My first time here was back around 2000 when I played for what was back then, The Limelight, it was a great experience.
You're a very busy man right now, producing under different monikers and DJing across the globe what do you do in your downtime?
Mike: Messing about in my studio still is a downtime for me. But family is important to me and we do special things as much as possible. I also love training my oldest boy for football, I know he appreciates that. I'm a huge follower of Barcelona FC, so there you go.
How would you define your sound and what are your inspirations?
Mike: My main heroes and reason for my love for synth is Depeche Mode. Although very different sounding, they are the main reason why I am here doing what I love, which is music. I grew up in the 80ties when Acid House and Belgium made New Beat conquered the Club scene back then, and the first time I put my hands on a synth, I knew it was love at first touch.
You have many guises that you produce under and a few in particular that you focus on, how do you switch from each project and still maintain the creativeness for each of them?
Mike: Well, sometimes it starts out by me just walking into the studio. I get into a few sounds, tweaking here and there, and a track comes out of it, either during or after, I decide this is X alias. Nowadays my most used aliases are M.I.K.E. , Push and Plastic Boy, and I know when I want to produce something under those aliases, so I just take it from there.
And speaking of projects, we hear that you are returning home to Bonzai and bringing back a couple of your Bonzai monikers, can you tell us which ones and why you choose now to revamp those?
Mike: Oh really? Haha, well, my connection with Bonzai will never fade, and there is a reason for that. We've recently discussed about releasing a new Tribal Warriors and Sector 7, its more darker progressive yet with that M.I.K.E. touch. It all started after our 20 years of Bonzai reunion last year, we all felt good meeting up and from one came another. And of course there's Push… will it be back? watch out for that one!
Rumour has it that you are creating a new album for Bonzai, can you tell us anything about that?
Mike: One word – 4 letters. Can you guess? The rest I say no more!
Do you prefer DJing or producing, and why?
Mike: I prefer BOTH! producing is a HUGE privilege and passion, and having the power to share my music with the world is a blessing and I take FULL advantage of that with my DJing.
Just last year you were part of Bonzai's 20 year party, how was that for you?
Mike: It was awesome, I had a blast! gathering together with all the guys was a real trip, more like this please.
You've worked with so many great artists over the years, particularly within Bonzai's realm, do you have any favourite collaborations?
Mike: There are some many great people I collaborated with, in and out of Bonzai. I hold a special place for these experiences! Armin, Moby, Rank 1 ,Fred Baker, Airwave .. and so on.
Apart from Tribal Warriors and Sector 7, what are your plans for the future, can you let us in on any secrets?
Mike: Tribal Warriors and Sector 7 are once a year spin-offs. More Live shows for Push! Yes, something that's on high demand from my fans! And I will bring it back as long there is a demand for it. The bookings are flying in for this coming summer, so keep an eye out! and this time it will go globally!
Well Mike thanks for taking the time to speak with us, best of luck to you and your family in whatever you do, thanks.
Mike: Thanks!

Tribal Warriors aka M.I.K.E. aka Push returns in explosive fashion with a highly infectious slice of techno, backed up with quality remixes that are sure to rock the floors.
Mike Dierickx really needs no introduction, one of the hardest working artists on the scene we are all very well familiar with the scope of his amazing talents as a DJ, producer and highly sought after remix artist. Tribal Warriors last release came back in 2002 with "Spirits In Love" on Bonzai Limited and was a top club track for a long time after, now he's back with that unique vibe and a modern twist on this track entitled "08".
The original mix fits right into the techno grooves of today with a classic kick and percussion intro with a subtle bassline waiting in the wings. The tune builds up to some quality tech synth work with a retro vibe oozing from the sound. A huge monster of a tune which will be on a lot of playlists for sure.
Popular visitor to Basiks Jamez delivers a sublime take with his Jamez's Peace and Love Remix. The funk is turned up a notch with a stunning bassline. Hypnotic percs are a big focus here but the main event is on the synths. Superbly crisp and clear old style synth pushes this track up to peak time status and will be a feature on many floors around the world, brilliant stuff.
Ugur Yurt & Tofke are no strangers either and they pull out all the stops to deliver a wonderful remix full of depth and a tribal twist. Surreal basses intro the track with bongos and tablas giving that tribal element while a siren like synth hits you between the eyes and we settle in for an energetic ride. On the break things heat up with quality FX and a riser kicking us right back into this strong, solid groove.
A welcome return for a project that was hugely respected and missed for all these years, welcome back Tribal Warriors!

Auburn vs. Oneonta Doubledays (47-28) vs. Tigers (44-31) * (Best-of-three series begins Sunday, Sept. 9) * One game remains in the regular season The Auburn Doubledays and Oneonta Tigers only faced off three times in the regular season, but on Sunday, the two clubs will take their hacks at each other in the best-of-three playoff series. It should be a classic matchup of hitting against pitching. The Doubledays were third in the league in ERA while the Tigers offense ranked first in runs scored. The series also has another dimension of experience against inexperience. This will be manager Dennis Holmberg's sixth straight postseason appearance with Auburn while Oneonta rookie manager Andy Barkett will be making his first. The Doubledays do have a few returning players from last year's playoff squad, while Oneonta hasn't been to the postseason since 2005.
REGULAR-SEASON SERIES The Auburn pitching did a pretty good job containing Oneonta's high-powered offense. The Doubledays staff compiled an ERA of 3.13 over 23 innings pitched. The Tigers hurlers, on the other hand, struggled in two of three games as they racked up an atrocious 6.14 ERA.
Head-to-Head Stats Oneonta: Oneonta hit .267 against Auburn, which is right on line with their .265 season average. 3B Ron Borquin led all Tigers hitters with a .500 batting average and four runs scored. Borquin had five hits, two of which went for extra bases. ... Utility-man Kody Kaiser also did well in his 12 at-bats against the Doubledays. The switch-hitter had four hits and tied for the team lead in RBIs with three. ... 1B Chris Carlson also drove in three runs, but hit just .200. ... Sean Finefrock took a no-hitter into the fifth inning against Auburn in his lone start. The righty ended up surrendering two earned runs over 6 1/3 innings pitched. ... Chris Homer pitched two innings of relief, giving up just one walk and picking up a win. ... Noah Krol was perfect in his one save opportunity. PROBABLE PITCHERS
Game 1: Sunday, Sept. 9 - Auburn at Oneonta
HISTORY LESSONS SERIES COULD TURN ON In a long series, the law of averages tends to apply, but in a short series like this one, anything can happen. In this best-of-three matchup, Oneonta will be able to hide its lack of pitching depth. Auburn will have to face the Tigers' top two pitchers in Guillermo Moscoso and Alfredo Figaro. If those two can shut down the Doubledays offense for just one outing each, Oneonta will waltz into the next round. Also, Auburn's defense committed 101 errors in 75 games this season. The Doubledays can't afford to give a high-octane offense like Oneonta's extra chances or additional baserunners.

NEW CASTLE (AP) — Pennsylvania may soon charge a fee for snowmobilers, equestrians and mountain bikers who use state game land trails.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission will likely vote on the plan next month, the New Castle News (http://bit.ly/1ttxEgt) reports.
The proposed license of up to $30 is designed as a plan to raise money for trail upkeep. Hikers wouldn't be charged, and hunters already pay a fee. Horses, bicycles and snowmobiles can damage trails, but hikers and birdwatchers typically don't, said Travis Lau, spokesman for the Game Commission.
Some outdoor enthusiasts say the proposed fee is unfair and would be too cumbersome.
"How is this going to be enforced? Toll booths at trailheads?" asked Neil Brennen, a blogger and motivational speaker who talks about his experience using hiking as a means to lose weight.
The Game Commission expects to vote on the plan at their Sept. 22-23 meeting in Delmont. The proposal would require equestrians, cyclists and snowmobilers to have a state game lands shooting range permit to use more than 1,328 miles of designated trails.
Lau told the New Castle News that the commission reviewed its records and identified $230,000 in costs associated with trail maintenance and signage over the past three years. Projects to build or maintain roads, parking lots and other infrastructure topped $4 million.
Elizabeth Krug of Erie, president of the Pennsylvania State Snowmobile Association, says the enthusiasts donate time to groom the trails.
Krug said more than 3,000 miles of publicly available snowmobile trails and joint-use roads snake through Pennsylvania. State game lands represent about a tenth of that total, but many connect to routes on other property. Snowmobilers, then, would be forced to pay a user fee just to traverse the small portion of trail they are riding, she said.
"If they'd like to charge a fee, we'd like to talk about alternatives," Krug told the newspaper.
Brennen said he thinks implementing a user fee for horseback riders, snowmobilers and cyclists will be a debacle, so he's not concerned the commission will eventually go after hikers, too.
Some activities, including all-terrain vehicle use, are already banned on many trails because of the potential for damage.

With love from Elsa
Just wanted to tell you that I have really enjoyed my two months here. Being surrounded by so much natural beauty; fresh air; eating wonderful food and making new friends/ extended family. I feel extremely at peace with myself and I have learned a lot (not only from the kitchen) but from courses I have attended here.
I've been amazed at the "miracles" of the free box - how you just put the wish out and it materializes in the box. Talk about manifestations - again I have been amazed at the speed of these in this place.
I will miss several people from here; the sounds of the night, the coquis, the beautiful colours; the food (of course!); the fun activities we get up to; the walks to the point to play my guitar; swimming in the pool at night time and so on and so on...
Thank you for letting me stay here and for all I have received. I hope I have given back some in return.
love & hugs,

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
As Newt Implodes, Democrats Pass The Popcorn
"The fact that they are swirling and squirming and spinning on Medicare shows that they all know they've stepped into a hole," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who leads the Democrats' messaging operation, told TPM. "I think they have not figured out their way out of this Medicare situation."
Conservatives are already openly dreading seeing Gingrich's remarks pop up in Democratic messaging as they head into an election cycle likely centered on the Republican budget.
"I think every one of these Republican candidates running for the House is going to have a Democratic opponent who's going to run an ad that you can write today," columnist Charles Krauthammer told FOX News. "It's going to start: 'Even the conservative Newt Gingrich, the former leader of the Republicans in the House, says it's 'radical,' it's 'social engineering.'"
Among elected officials, Republican pushback against Gingrich has focused in no small part on his giving comfort and aid to the enemy right as they enter their budget fight.
"With allies like that, who needs the left?" Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham yesterday.
Their fears seem well founded. At today's White House briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney used a question on Newt to take an easy dig at the GOP's Medicare plan.
"Without wading into a dispute between Republicans, I would note that the former speaker of the House once said that he hoped to see Medicare wither on the vine and yet his position is now seen as too far to the left by some people in his party," he said.
On the House side, the DCCC has been quick to jump on Gingrich's remarks, giddily passing on news stories on Republican divisions over Medicare to reporters within hours of Newt's Meet The Press appearance.
"When even former Speaker Newt 'Let Medicare Wither on the Vine' Gingrich says the House Republican plan to end Medicare is too extreme, you know just how big a liability their budget is to the 235 House Republicans who - under pressure from Speaker John Boehner and Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan - voted to end Medicare and protect Big Oil," one email from a DCCC spokesman read.

Bob is the founder and codirector of the PERI institute at UMass Amherst, and he joins us now from Amherst, Massachusetts.Thanks for being with us.ROBERT POLLIN, CODIRECTOR, POLITICAL ECONOMY RESEARCH INSTITUTE: Thank you very much for having me on, Jessica.DESVARIEUX: So, Bob, a lot of news coming out about financial markets and regulation. What is the latest?POLLIN: Well, yes, in the last week there were three major stories that came out in the press and in the financial sector. And they don't necessarily seem that they're that tightly connected, but in fact they are. The first one is with respect to the regulations and who the regulators are at this place, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Now, that may sound like this obscure Washington bureaucracy that nobody can care about, but the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is really the central location for regulating the financial derivatives market, derivatives such as swap, futures, options. The derivatives were actually the centerpiece of the financial speculation that drove the global economy into the crisis in 2007 and 2009. So regulating the financial derivatives market and the derivatives market for energy and food as well, extremely important. And it was a major feature of the regulatory law that passed in 2010, the Dodd-Frank law to regulate these markets, the derivatives markets. And we've talked at other times on The Real News Network about some of the detail.But the news this past week is that the two--there's a five-person set of commissioners that actually implements the regulation. And the two that have been strongest in behalf of supporting the law that actually passed, the Dodd-Frank law that regulates derivatives markets, those two people, both of their terms have run out as commissioners. The Obama administration has chosen not to give them another term. The key person is Gary Gensler, who is the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, who actually was a former high official at Goldman Sachs. And when he came in under Obama, people thought, oh, he's just going to be a stooge for Wall Street. But he turned out to be anything but. He turned out to be a very strong, principled commissioner, exactly the kind of person that you'd want to have stay and make sure that the regulations that were passed in 2010 are actually implemented. Well, unfortunately, it appears that the Obama administration has decided to replace Gary Gensler with somebody named Amanda Renteria, who has no experience in this kind of work and, according to all the evidence, is not going to be strong in the same way that Gary Gensler was. So that's one piece of evidence.A second was I want to refer to an article that was in the global--the leading global financial newspaper The Financial Times last week by one of their columnists, Gavyn Davies. And Davies tried to explain why the U.S. stock market seems to be going up so quickly even though the economy is basically still limping along. Very, very small improvements in unemployment and GDP growth, but the stock market keeps going up. And Davies says, well, actually, there's a fairly clear explanation for that, and that is that the share of the total output in the economy, the share of the total GDP or the pie, even if the pie isn't growing that fast, the share going to the rich in terms of profits is growing very rapidly because the share going to everybody else in terms of wages is going down. Now, I'm saying that this is coming not out of a leftist kind of publication; this what's in The Financial Times. And Davies's own column referred at length to a blog by a well-known financial market blogger, and the title of the blog itself was "Where Karl Marx is right"--not the kind of thing you usually read from financial market type analysts.So we have--number one, we have this story about regulations of the financial markets not getting implemented, that the tough regulators are getting replaced. On the other hand, we have this notion of the recovery, such as it is, is taking place mainly in the financial markets. That's what recovering quickly. And that's due to a redistribution of income where profits are getting a bigger share, everybody else is getting a smaller share. And then the third piece, very unlikely source, the past few days, the International Monetary Fund, which for basically a generation had been the center of advocacy of austerity-type policies, it has now published an article saying that the U.S. should ease off on austerity. The U.S. should ease off on austerity. The IMF is saying it.DESVARIEUX: Bob, it sounds like to me, just hearing all these headlines that we're going through, that this is really an example of how wealth and power is concentrated in the hands of few people, small group of people. Can you talk a little bit about what--the real root of this increasing income gap that we're seeing happening right now? Is that the root?POLLIN: Right. Well, we've had a rise in inequality, basically, for a generation, and it became crystallized due to the financial crisis. People recognize that, you know, when so much is flowing to the top, that gives more money for people to speculate on crazy kinds of things like the derivatives that brought the economy down. Now, so you have this period in which even the mainstream politicians decided that, okay, it's time to re-regulate finance, Wall Street, get tough, and have the financial markets work on behalf of everybody else, not have everybody else just work on behalf of Wall Street.Well, that was the idea that was embedded in this so-called Dodd-Frank law, the financial regulatory law. But that law has never been implemented, because of the power of Wall Street to enforce its will. Even after a law is passed, they bring armies of regulators in to change the nature of the law, to push the regulators, and there's not enough pushing coming from the other side to counteract that. So Wall Street gets away.In fact, I want to cite another good recent study. The Nation magazine had a study on how Dodd-Frank is getting defanged, the regulatory law, the Dodd-Frank law. So why is this happening? Obviously because people on Wall Street that represent the richest people in the country have tremendous political power, are utilizing it. And I'm not just talking about the power to influence the Tea Party; I'm talking about the power to influence the Obama administration. If the Obama administration was serious about financial regulation, they would let Gary Gensler stay as the head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Again, it sounds--I know it sounds like this obscure thing that's all complicated. In fact, it's not complicated and it's not obscure. Gary Gensler has been a very tough, effective regulator trying to put in place the kinds of measures that were actually passed into law with Dodd-Frank to fight for a more stable financial system, and according to the news, Gary Gensler is getting replaced by someone who will be more friendly to Wall Street.DESVARIEUX: Okay. Thanks so much for joining us, Bob.POLLIN: Thank you very much for having me.DESVARIEUX: And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.End

I have been a part of FAD Cheer and Dance for almost 16 years now and I have loved every moment of it! I started when I was just 4/5 years old and now I am one of their instructors. It is the most fun I have every week, the teachers are all very supportive, it's affordable and most of all the kids have fun!

text: The Byrds' Best Song About Being High . . . In an AirplaneRobert Sorokanich11/23/13 7:58pmFiled to: soundtrackthe byrdsflyingprobably also drugs14EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWe've spent a good bit of time this week talking about airplanes—specifically, whether we'll soon be allowed to use our smartphones in-flight. But the grumbling over in-flight gadgets makes us forget how utterly far out it is that man can fly in the first place. Time to trip out with some psychedelic music, man. The Byrds released this song in 1966, inspired by a flight to England and maybe also some drugs. The combination of flowing, wafting vocals and sinewy 12-string guitar riffs you'd swear were played on a sitar makes for a trademark '60s sound. But it's the song's circular structure, building speed like a jet on the runway, then arcing into lofty flight, then swinging back down to do it all again, that really turns this song into a trip. Advertisement Advertisement Sharp-eared fans will notice this recording differs notably from the version most often heard on classic rock radio stations. This first cut was considered superior by the band, but was refused by Columbia Records because it was recorded in a competing label's studios. The familiar recording that Columbia released still has that hallmark sound, but feels a little sloppier, more haphazard, than this version. At the end, the song comes back down to earth, and, in the final moments, builds to a chaotic crescendo. It sounds for all the world like the screeching tires of a 727 scrambling to a halt at the end of a landing strip. And just like that, the flight is over. We're back on the ground.

Pus Cells and Epithelial Cells07/14/2009 |
What are pus cells and eipthelial cells? Why are pus cells and epithelial cells seen in urine occasionally?
"Pus" cells generally refer to white blood cells and can be an indicator of infection. Epithelial cells make up the inner lining of the urinary tract from the kidneys down through the bladder. They are occasionsally shed as new cells form. Persistant white cells in the urine should be evaluated to rule out infection.

Scarcely a week after U.S. copyright officials cleared the way for cell phone users to pick the devices' firmware "locks" in order to swap mobile carriers, a leading prepaid cell phone provider has lodged a legal challenge.
Miami-based TracFone Wireless filed a complaint on Tuesday with a federal court in Florida asking that the ruling be thrown out, according to the published reports.
Its argument? By allowing cell phone customers to disable the software that tethers it to a particular carrier, the U.S. Copyright Office is making it easier for people to sell phones overseas at a profit--and thus hurt TracFone's "practice of offering low-cost wireless telephone service to a large number of customers who may not otherwise be able to afford it." (The company's business model reportedly rides on selling Nokia handsets at below-cost and recovering the difference through the fees charged for phone minutes.)
The cell phone unlocking exemption was among six new exceptions added recently to a controversial 1998 digital copyright law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Section 1201 of that statute broadly restricts circumventing "a technological measure that effectively controls access" to a copyrighted work.
TracFone charged in its complaint that the Copyright Office had not given the company adequate time to comment on the proposal and was acting in a manner "inconstistent with copyright law."
It also noted it has successfully won complaints hinging on DMCA violations in the past. Critics, meanwhile, have contended that such suits are an example of a use that the law was not supposed to cover.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jeff Locke won for only the second time in three major league seasons, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Reds 3-1 Saturday night as Cincinnati starter Johnny Cueto left in the fifth inning with a strained right triceps.
After striking out Pedro Alvarez starting the fifth, Cueto threw a first-pitch strike to Travis Snider then began shaking his right arm. A Reds trainer visited Cueto on the mound, briefly massaged the pitcher's upper arm, and both then walked to the dugout.
Cueto helped Cincinnati win the NL Central last season, then left the division series opener against San Francisco with an oblique strain that knocked him out for the rest of the series, won by the Giants in five games.
Cueto allowed one run and two hits in 4 1-3 innings with one walk and three strikeouts. He has given up just seven earned runs in his last seven starts in Pittsburgh.
Alfredo Simon (0-1) relieved Cueto with the score 1-1. Snider reached on an infield single, Clint Barmes singled and Starling Marte singled with two outs to drive in the go-ahead run.
Pinch-hitter Jose Tabata added an RBI double off the right-center field fence in the seventh against J.J. Hoover.
Locke (1-1), making his 14th big league appearance and 12th start, allowed one run, four hits and four walks in five innings with no strikeouts. His first win was last Oct. 1, when he pitched six innings of one-run ball to beat Atlanta.
Mark Melancon pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and has not allowed a run in seven games and seven innings this season. Jason Grilli finished for his fifth save in as many chances.
Cincinnati has lost four in a row, its longest regular-seasom skid since a five-game streak last Aug. 5-9. The Pirates have won four of five following a 1-5 start.
Zack Cozart had three hits, including a double and his third homer of the season, a solo drive in the third. Andrew McCutchen walked in the fourth and scored on a two-out double by Garrett Jones, who is 7 for 14 in his last four games.

Hello all,
First and foremost, if this is the wrong place to post this type of question, please move or delete as needed.
So, I just sold off my Manley Stingray and Merlin TSM speakers which I have used for the last few years. I have a 20 month old at home and another on the way in 7 months and just haven't been able to listen to the speakers as before (son's room is directly above my listening area). So I have made the decision to join the hi-end headphone world to let me listen to music while the children are sleeping.
I have trolled through most of the Audeze LCD-2, LCD-2 Rev 2, and LCD-3 threads but can not find answer to my question. If you had a total budget of $3K, would get the LCD-3 with a $1K amp, like a Woo 6SE, Schiit Mjolnir, Buson Soloist; or go for the LCD-2 Rev 2 with a $2K amp, like a Woo WA22, used RSA Apache, or other options not yet found?
Source will be a computer based system with a Mac Mini, Metric Halo ULN-8 AD/DA and Rega P7/Dynavector at 24/192 through the AD side of the ULN-8. The ULN-8 being a "studio" AD/DA is balanced through out.
I listen to all genres of music and am sold on the Audeze house sound just not sure were the best bang for the buck is going to be. My gut instinct is to go with the LCD2 and a high quality amp to maximize their performance versus potentially short changing the expected improvement of the LCD-3 but not giving them adequate amplification.
Thanks ahead for any input and I can't wait to join the party.

Democratic Debate: We Watch So You Don't Have To (and There Was Nothing To See)
This afternoon, the Democratic presidential candidates gathered in Des Moines for their final debate prior to the Iowa cacuses on January 3. For undecided voters, there was no new material
Here's a brief recap of an utterly uneventful affair. From the horse race perspective, no one flopped, fumbled or drooled. And no one attacked anyone. There were no moments you will see replayed and dissected excessively on cable news shows. There were, essentially no highlights--except perhaps for a moment when Barack Obama was asked how his foreign policy as president would be a break from the past given that he has several ex-Clintonites advising him. Before he could answer, Hillary Clinton said, "I want to hear that." As the crowd laughed, Obama shot back, "I'm looking forward to you advising me as well." That was as spicy as it got.
And for anyone obsessed with policy matters, there was not much there either. (Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel were not invited to attend because the host, the Des Moines Register, determined that neither have a functioning campaign office in Iowa.) Bill Richardson called for a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget and for awarding line-item veto authority to the president--positions most of the other candidates do not back. He also called for scrapping the no Child Left Behind law; the other candidates talked of fixing it. Each declared their intention to end the war in Iraq; there was no detailed discussion about that. But Richardson declared he would leave no residual troops in Iraq. (Iran did not come up.) After Richardson called China a "strategic competitor," Chris Dodd maintained the United States has an "adversarial relationship" with China.
There were no clashes of policy or proposals. Clinton, Obama and Edwards did not revive their past disagreements over Social Security and health care. And while Obama decried "special interests" in Washington, John Edwards repeatedly--and I do mean repeatedly--cited the necessity of crushing "corporate power" and "corporate greed" in Washington, claiming he was the only candidate with the guts and spine to do so.
As soon as the debate ended, it was as if it had never occurred.

Who's your boss? Uncle Sam. Nearly $1 in five of income is paid by the government
May 10th, 2011, 10:40 am by Mark LandsbaumThe disturbing trend is that increasingly Americans are being paid by the federal government. More disturbing is the old saw, "He who pays the piper calls the tune."
"Americans depended more on government assistance in 2010 than at any other time in the nation's history, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data finds. The trend shows few signs of easing, even though the economic recovery is nearly 2 years old," the newspaper reported recently.
An all-time record high of 18.3 percent of total personal income in the United States came from a government check from Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, unemployment benefits and other programs in 2010. This is entirely separate from the amount of your taxes paid to employees of the federal government. And don't forget state and local governments.
We all want our employers to prosper, that is, to have more later than they have now. Think that one through folks. Increasing dependency on the federal government increases the desire of the people for bigger government, which is to say more in taxes. Which is not good news.
Here's some more bad news: in 20 years up to 2000, government aid stayed about at 12.5 percent of total personal income. The sharp increase to 18.2 percent reflects expansion of health care and federal programs generally, the aging population and lingering economic problems.

"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
That is absolutly less than ideal news for fans of Josh Hamilton. I am 100% certain that Hamilton does not need to be around a manager who uses.
From the Dallas Morning News.
Though he was tested for drugs shortly after his use, it is not known if he failed. But, according to a source, because Washington came to MLB and confessed, he was exempt from suspension.http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/ar...n-used-co.htmlHe told the Rangers' front office -- including team president Nolan Ryan and general manager Jon Daniels -- and turned himself in to the commissioner's office within days of the test.
Complete BS...he only confessed because he knew it was likely he was going to fail. If he confessed w/o being tested, that would be a different story.
Im surprised that Ron Washington is still employed.
As for Hamilton I was thought the was drug tested randomly throughout the season. But I agree that this isn't an ideal situation for Josh.
As much as I'd like to think I have compassion for those who have trangressed, I'd have to give him the boot. I really don't think you can have someone like that around influencing young players who has done that sort of thing. Perhaps he can hook on with StL if he does get fired. They don't seem to have too high of standards.
I'd fire him.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Cocaine is a big jump ahead of marijuana both in terms of illegality and risk for the user. It's one of the big ones that usually distinguishes a casual drug user from an addict. Even if Washington only used it once in his whole life, that time before he was tested, he had to know better, he had to know that his was a huge mistake that would put his ability to manage young players in jeopardy.
He should be fired for poor judgment alone.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- Albert Einstein
So if you confess you don't get suspended?
I would have fired him after he confessed and I'd fire him now.
Pitchforks and Torches!!!
The Just say No Generation is driving the car now.
Mistakes and human transgressions always can cause one a job, it's a lot easier making the call when you're not involved in the real decision.
I fired a guy for less. He was fired because his continued presence disrupted my crew. As far as I know he wasn't doing drugs. Of course later we found out he was a pedophile.
Still... If Washington's cocaine use is disruptive to him doing his job, he should be let go.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
The eyes never lie.
Without the facts, it's beyond us to judge. But it's definitely unfortunate giving Hamilton's history.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- Albert Einstein
They employ Josh Hamilton. Seems to me, there are other considerations than "just say no". It absolutely makes no sense for them to potentially endanger an asset like Hamilton. And a manager who is actively using cocaine sure seems like it adds an elements of uncertainty where there needs to be none with regard to Hamilton.

Youthhostel Sta. Maria
The Chasa Plaz youth hostel is housed in a building, dating back to 1537, which was formerly used as a guest- and warehouse. Once upon a time, the vaulted cellar room was packed high with goods, which were transported on horse-back over the Ofen and Umbrail Passes or through the narrow Calven valley. Years later, when hand-weaving was a dying profession, the Tessanda was formed to provide local girls and women with an education and a means of income. This noble house has been a youth hostel since 1966 and now serves as a hub for those wishing to explore the area's fabulous natural and cultural landscape. The Swiss National Park and the no-less impressive Italian Stilfzerjoch National Park are easy to reach from Sta. Maria.

In a poignant interview that aired Jan. 31 on KWTV Channel 9 in Oklahoma City, former Belgium resident Craig Prom is shown rocking his sleeping 4-month-old son Donavon, softly singing "It's a Wonderful World." His son's 30-year-old mother Ebony Jackson, Prom's partner, was found murdered, her body stuffed in the trunk of her car, on Jan. 8 in St. Louis, Mo. It was a wonderful world, Prom, 46, said in a phone interview Monday, until Jackson was murdered. Now, he's worried about raising the boy on his own, finding affordable child care and mourning the loss of the woman he considered his common-law wife. "The hardest part is getting up every day and not seeing Ebony, not holding her," he said in the TV interview. Donavon was found seemingly abandoned at 5 a.m. Friday, Jan. 4, in his car seat in the entryway of an apartment complex in Breckenridge Hills, Ill., near East St. Louis. Jackson had left Wednesday, Jan. 2, to drive to East St. Louis, where she grew up, to show off her son to relatives and friends and planned to also visit her mother in Denver, Prom said. The apartment complex where Donavon was found is across the street from where Jackson's aunt lives. When Donavon's picture was shown on TV news reports, Jackson's cousin recognized him and notified police of his identity. The next day, Saturday, Jan. 5, Prom and his brother John, who lives in Princeton, Okla., drove to Breckenridge Hills to pick up his son. However, Donavon had been placed in state protective custody. Since he and Jackson were not married, Prom was told he had to take a DNA test on Monday, Jan. 7, to prove paternity. He and his brother returned on Jan. 7 and stayed in the area for a week until the test confirmed he was the boy's father and a court hearing to grant custody was held. By then, Jackson's body had been found. The St. Louis medical examiner determined Jackson died from a single gunshot wound behind an ear. The boy's guardian objected to releasing Donavon to his father, saying Prom was a person of interest in the mother's murder. But the judge granted Prom custody. "At this point, we don't have any suspects," David Marzullo, director of public information for the St. Louis Police Department, said Tuesday. "It's still being investigated." Before returning to his home in Moore, Okla., a suburb of Oklahoma City, Prom took his son to Wisconsin to visit his mother Eleanor in Belgium and other family members. His sisters Lynn Wilterdink of Hingham and Jill Nothem of West Bend went to Oklahoma for a few weeks to help their brother. Prom said he met Jackson in Oklahoma City in October 2011, and they immediately hit it off. They had a common bond in that both are dealing with the effects of brain trauma, he said. Prom sustained a brain injury in a motorcycle accident when he was 19. He was in a coma for three months and doctors did not know if he would walk or talk again. "He has limited ability to read and write fluently and his attention span has suffered, but he is a walking miracle," his mother said. "He did all his own therapy and made a remarkable recovery." Jackson had several surgeries and treatments for a brain tumor when she was 16 and would become confused and forgetful, Prom said. "She and I made concessions for each other. We worked together very well," he said. The couple lived together for 14 months and were elated when Jackson became pregnant, he said. "Ebony and I thought we couldn't have children because of our brain injuries," Prom said. "She was very proud and happy to have a son." Rumors that their relationship was rocky and Jackson was leaving him are not true, he said. "She left a note saying she was leaving to visit her family," he said. "She didn't say anything that would lead me to believe she was leaving me." At 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2, Prom said, he received a text message from Jackson, his last communication with her, saying, "Good night. We both love you." Mrs. Prom said she visited the couple shortly after Donavon was born Sept. 25. "They were devoted to one another and so happy," she said of her son and Jackson. Since the murder, Mrs. Prom talks to her son frequently and they cry a lot, she said. "A person reads about these things in newspapers or hears about them on the nightly news, but when it hits close to home, it is devastating," she said. Prom, who returned this week to his job as a pest control specialist for the Oklahoma Housing Authority, said members of his church are helping him take care of Donavon. "He's beautiful and he's happy," Prom said of his son. "People ask if he ever cries. He coos, smiles and laughs. The only time he's unhappy is when he doesn't want to take a nap or go to bed." Prom said he hopes the police arrest Jackson's killer soon. "I would tell him he took away a loving mother, a loving wife," he said. "I believe with all of my heart that she protected this boy." A fund for Donavon Prom has been set up at the Bank of Oklahoma, 201 Robert S. Kerr Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73102.

The day is far from a close in Orlando, but here's an early evening update …
- Ken Rosenthal says that Shin-Soo Choo talks are reaching a "critical stage," which implies that he could be signing this week. Rosenthal indicates that the Rangers (known) and at least one other team are in right now. Although we just heard that the Cubs have spoken with Choo, don't go jumping to any conclusions just yet – the Tigers have long made a ton of sense for Choo, especially given the bizarre Doug Fister dump, and the Mariners, more recently, have made sense for him, too. The Rangers are believed to still be talking to Nelson Cruz, though, and the Mariners have been connected to him, too. A surprising, quick deal involving Cruz returning the Rangers sure would spice things up. Short of something like that, if there are only two teams still seriously involved on Choo, it's fair to assume it's probably the Rangers and Tigers.
- Jayson Stark has heard "buzz" about the Cubs swooping in on David Price! … but I would take that with a mountain of salt, because it appears to be a throwaway line, inserted for color in a piece about Price, generally. Without a Shin-Soon Choo signing to go with it (at a bare minimum), acquiring Price right now does not make sense for the Cubs, and would probably be inadvisable. Stark's piece is a good read on the Price market, and Tampa Bay's ongoing efforts to convince everyone else that they don't have to trade Price right now. Sure. But they're not going to trade him in the middle of a playoff run in 2014, so it's now or next offseason. And a lot of bad stuff can happen in between.
- David O'Brien (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) says there still isn't a great feel for what it would take to land Jeff Samardzija. That could be because the Cubs have gone into sell mode on him just yet, or it could be a Braves-specific thing, given that they seem to be new-ish entrants into the Samardzija market (O'Brien says the Braves "like him a lot"). Let me short-hand the price for you, David: a lot.
- More from Rosenthal: he's got the Twins as hot on the trail of Bronson Arroyo, which would give them three free agent starting pitchers in one offseason. It's conceivable that grabbing Arroyo could make the rest of the market incrementally more interested in a Jeff Samardzija deal (or Edwin Jackson?), but the more immediate impact here is the Cubs' theoretical pursuit of Korean righty Suk-Min Yoon, who remains an interesting back-end-swing-guy-depth-stash-bullpen-I-don't-know type.
- One more from Rosenthal – dude works – on Mark Trumbo, whom he says the Angels are more and more likely to trade. They seem to want young, controllable pitching for him. I don't think the Cubs will be in on the low-OBP, high-power Trumbo, but a trade involving him could shake up the market a bit.
- Jerry Crasnick hears that, despite earlier chatter, White Sox ace Chris Sale is not actually on the market. That's obviously a good things from the Cubs' perspective.
- Also, bits on Masahiro Tanaka and the Cubs' bullpen efforts (rumored discussions with Nationals), in case you're just now tuning in and missed them earlier this afternoon.

He was a profane adulterer, a drinker, a fearful blasphemer, curser and swearer.
He is a curser and swearer, a nefarious pintious lyer, and a contentious person.
To make a curse operate there must be a certain amount of conviction in the mind of the curser.
late Old English curs "a prayer that evil or harm befall one," of uncertain origin, perhaps from Old French curuz "anger," or Latin cursus "course." Connection with cross is unlikely. No similar word exists in Germanic, Romance, or Celtic. Curses as a histrionic exclamation is from 1885. The curse "menstruation" is from 1930. Curse of Scotland, the 9 of diamonds in cards, is attested from 1791, but the origin is obscure.
Old English cursian, from the source of curse (n.). Meaning "to swear profanely" is from early 13c. Related: Cursed; cursing.
denounced by God against the serpent (Gen. 3:14), and against Cain (4:11). These divine maledictions carried their effect with them. Prophetical curses were sometimes pronounced by holy men (Gen. 9:25; 49:7; Deut. 27:15; Josh. 6:26). Such curses are not the consequence of passion or revenge, they are predictions. No one on pain of death shall curse father or mother (Ex. 21:17), nor the prince of his people (22:28), nor the deaf (Lev. 19:14). Cursing God or blaspheming was punishable by death (Lev. 24:10-16). The words "curse God and die" (R.V., "renounce God and die"), used by Job's wife (Job 2:9), have been variously interpreted. Perhaps they simply mean that as nothing but death was expected, God would by this cursing at once interpose and destroy Job, and so put an end to his sufferings.

Valentine Bloods Leader Sentenced
October 23, 2011 ¤ Drug Crimes & Violence, Gang Crimes & Gang Violence ¤ Comment
Valentine Bloods Leader Sentenced
U.S. Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces that U.S. District Judge Susan Bucklew yesterday sentenced David Martin Santiago (30, Pasco County) to 14 years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine base, distribution of cocaine base, being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, and possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime. The court ordered that this sentence is to be served consecutively to a ten-year sentence Santiago recently received in Pasco County for several felonies. Santiago pled guilty on May 5, 2011.
According to court documents, Santiago sold guns and drugs to a confidential informant during a lengthy investigation into the Pasco County sect of the Valentine Bloods street gang by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Walter E. Furr, III.

Every weekday morning, Fox News Channel anchor Eric Bolling arrives for work in midtown Manhattan. But before he digs into the meat of his day preparing to be on the panel for the afternoon roundtable show "The Five," he makes time for an authority even higher than FNC boss Roger Ailes.
"I drive into the city," he tells Zap2it, "park my car, come up to my office, turn on the computer, make sure there's no fires that need to be put out. Then I put my jacket back on and literally walk over to St. Patrick's Cathedral, light the candles, come back. I don't do it because I'm supposed to do it; I do it because I like it. It makes me feel good, knowing that I've done that.
"I light five candles. One, two, three, four, five — get it?"
He's noticed a little change in the crowds at the Roman Catholic cathedral since the election of Pope Francis — formerly Argentinian Cardinal Jose Mario Bergoglio — at the Vatican in Rome on March 13, 2013.
"I've got to tell you," he says, "there are a lot more people there every day. Maybe it's the TV coverage, maybe it's the new pope, but Catholics are certainly more aware. Maybe it's going to bring Catholics back to the Church, which would be a good thing."
The Chicago native has a very personal reason for liking the new pontiff, who is a member of the Society of Jesus religious order, whose members are popularly known as Jesuits. Among other things, Jesuits frequently work as educators, both at the secondary and university levels.
"The more I learned about [Pope Francis]," says Bolling, "of course, I liked him. I went to Jesuit high school. I'm Jesuit-educated, which I think is fantastic. I loved every minute of my Jesuit education."
Even though aspired to a career in professional baseball — the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted him, but an injury cut his career short — and later on made his fortune as a commodities trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange before moving on to television, Bolling appreciates Pope Francis' humble style.
It's symbolized in his choice of a name, which honors St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals who is also famed for his piety and his devotion to the poor.
Bolling was especially impressed when the pope visited with the crowds before his Installation Mass on Tuesday, March 19, trading in the enclosed "popemobile" for an open Jeep, and jumping down to meet with the people — including planting kisses on a handicapped man in a friend's arms, and on a baby.
"He just seems like a really nice guy, from everything I've learned," says Bolling. "He lived a very humble lifestyle prior to being elected pope. Pretty impressive. I think he's the right guy for the Church right now."
Asked if his financial and news coverage has ever come into conflict with his Catholic faith, Bolling says, "One of the nicest things about working for Roger Ailes is it's not even an issue. You have your faith, and he respects it. He's a God-fearing man himself."
Bolling is also anchor of "Cashin' In," part of FNC's Saturday-morning "The Price of Freedom" business-news block. The March 22 edition marks the third anniversary of President Obama's health-insurance-reform bill, commonly known as "Obamacare."
No fan of the legislation, Bolling has plans to mark the occasion.
"I'm throwing a big birthday party for Obamacare," he says. "It's going to be on 'Cashin' In' on Saturday morning, at 11:30 a.m. [Eastern]. I have cake; I have candles; I have balloons and confetti.
"It's going to be a big bash, and my tongue is going to be planted firmly in my cheek while I"m throwing the party."
None of the major American news organizations has yet landed a one-on-one interview with Pope Francis. No doubt, FNC would love to have one, and if comes to pass, Bolling dreams of being in the interviewer's chair.
But, he says, "I would think that Bill O'Reilly would be the guy. Sean Hannity's a very practicing Catholic, very big with his faith. Maybe they'll arm-wrestle over who'd get that interview — but I'd certainly like a shot at the interview, too. I'll arm-wrestle them both."
As for a trip to Rome to get a look at the new pope, Bolling says, "I don't leave, unless Fox wants me to do 'The Five' from the Vatican. If you can arrange that, I'll do it."
