Judge rejects birther challenge to electoral count
SACRAMENTO Nothing succeeds like persistence – unless you're Orly Taitz.
The lawyer and dentist from Laguna Niguel brought her years-long battle to oust Barack Obama from the presidency to a federal courtroom Thursday in Sacramento.
Her appearance was part of a last-minute bid to stop today's counting of Electoral College votes in Washington, D.C., that will pave the way for Obama's second inauguration Jan. 21.
Taitz has been prominent in pursuing claims that Obama was born outside the U.S. and therefore cannot legally be president.
"What we're doing here is the right thing," she said. "It's stopping treason.
"We are looking for one honest judge who will look at the case on its merits."
She ran into a brick wall with U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr., who sparred with her for more than an hour in a crowded courtroom.
"Your argument, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever," the judge told her at one point.
In the end, England rejected her request for a temporary restraining order to stop the tally.
The hearing stemmed from a suit Taitz filed Dec. 13 on behalf of two Electoral College electors and three minor presidential candidates. In an argument that England noted Taitz has pursued in 13 previous cases, she sought to show that the president's birth certificate is a forgery.
"It's a joke," she said. "It's not even a good forgery."
She added that Obama is using a stolen Social Security number, that Obama may not really be his last name and that, basically, he has no right to serve, "not (as) president, not a janitor in the office of president."
Obama staffers had long ignored the claims, but released a copy of Obama's birth certificate from Hawaii in 2011.
Mention of that by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Olsen on Thursday brought derisive chuckles from spectators.
"Why do you keep filing these lawsuits when they keep getting rejected?" England asked at one point.
Taitz responded by comparing herself to Thurgood Marshall and his persistence in filing suits to fight segregation. She explained that one of the plaintiffs is a Republican elector for Mitt Romney, who came in second to Obama in November.
"But second," England countered. "What part of second don't you understand?"
Finally, the judge rejected the request for a restraining order, saying "there is absolutely no way that this case will survive the challenge it faces."
The reaction from courtroom watchers was unmistakable. "Mockery," one man shouted as he stormed out, followed by another who was holding his nose.
"That really stinks," he proclaimed.

He discusses light green or anthropocentric ethics with the examples of stewardship, lifeboat ethics, and social ecology; the mid-green or intermediate ethics of animal liberation/rights; and dark or deep green ecocentric ethics. Particular attention is given to the Land Ethic, the Gaia Hypothesis and Deep Ecology and its offshoots: Deep Green Theory, Left Biocentrism and the Earth Manifesto. Ecofeminism is also considered and attention is paid to the close relationship between ecocentrism and virtue ethics. Other chapters discuss green ethics as post-secular, moral pluralism and pragmatism, green citizenship, and human population in the light of ecological ethics. In this new edition, all these have been updated and joined by discussions of climate change, sustainable economies, education, and food from an ecocentric perspective.
This comprehensive and wide-ranging textbook offers a radical but critical introduction to the subject which puts ecocentrism and the critique of anthropocentrism back at the top of the ethical, intellectual and political agenda. It will be of great interest to students and activists, and to a wider public.

For Sale:
DROP! Paul Stuart Blazer--From VICE ADMIRAL USN (Ret) N. Ronald Thurman! CONNECTION TO THE TITANIC! c. 46XL
Will Ship To: Anywhere
Formerly the property of VICE ADMIRAL USN (Ret.) N. Ronald Thurman
This jacket is absolutely wonderful--both in itself, and because of its provenance! This was formerly the property of Vice Admiral N. Ronald Thurman, the Vice Admiral of the USN who oversaw the undersea exploratory expedition that discovered the remains of the Titanic. (The USN was not interested in the Titanic, but in two sunken naval nuclear submarines; the Titanic just happened to be in the same area!) Because of this, one of Thurman's many distinctions is that for a short period of time only he and the oceanographer in change of the expedition at sea knew that the Titanic had been found.
If you're a Titanic buff, this would make this jacket pretty darn appealing. But even if you're not, the jacket's appealing in and of itself! Cut from a lovely dark bottle-green cloth (no Master's comments here!) with a wonderful hand and drape this features subtle darts and flapped pockets. It is fully lined, and half-canvassed. It features a single centre vent, and four kissing metal cuff buttons on each sleeve; these have a wonderful metallic tone that complements the cloth beautifully.
It was Made in Canada by Paul Stuart.
This jacket is in excellent condition except for a minor smudge on one sleeve, which might or might not come out with dry-cleaning; hence, this is in Very Good condition only.
As such, given the provenance of this jacket, as well as its quality and beauty, how about just $49 > 40 > 35, boxed and shipped in CONUS, with lower offers being VERY welcome? International inquiries are also welcome, with shipping at cost!
Please PM with interest and offers!

Framer at South Surrey site was hurt trying to aid falling co-worker
Two framers who fell from a South Surrey construction site last month – one of them suffering serious injuries – were not using fall-protection equipment, as required by WorkSafeBC.
The information is confirmed in an inspection report issued to Surrey-based Double SR Construction.
According to the report, the workers fell from the third storey of a townhouse near 160 Street and 32 Avenue Jan. 28 after a truss broke, causing one to stumble. The second worker fell 30 feet when he tried to grab and stabilize the first worker.
Neither was wearing personal fall-protection – although a fall-restraint system for one was seen nearby during the inspection that day – nor had they been trained in the equipment, the report states.
The report orders the employer to address the lack of training and fall-protection equipment "without further delay," and to ensure a site-specific fall-protection plan is in place prior to working at elevations where a fall of 25 feet of more is possible.
An update on the workers' condition was not available at press time.

Hi. I don't know what's wrong, but I can describe the "symptoms".
If I log in with my account and I try to play GeoW2 I get the two logos (first GeoW2, then Microsoft) and the screen goes black, for ever. The console stops responding and I can only turn it off (by pressing the button on the front).
If I don't log in but start the game by reloading the DVD in the tray, the game goes all way through until I have to log in, but when I log in three notifications appear (unlocked characters for the multiplayer options) and the screen freezes as soon as this happens.
Do you know if there is any way to solve it? The game has become pretty unusable now. I was in the middle of a co-operative playthrough on the hardest setting and I would like to be able to finish it.

If Sears Holding were to go bankrupt, planned or induced, it would be a disaster for ESL Investments. . At one time, more than half the assets of ESL Investments were in the stock of Sears Holding. It is a huge blow for any hedge fund to have its biggest position, or a major one, go under. Such an event is one from which it is very difficult, almost impossible, for a hedge fund to recover.
The table below certainly beckons to the short community. While earnings-per-share (EPS) growth has been falling for Sears, it is projected to plunge almost another 40% next year. The mean analyst expectation for the stock price is a drop of more than 50%, from more than $40 a share now to less than $20. With a short float of 11.27% (5% is considered troubling), many are positioning that Sears Holding will fall.

(37.70%) |
Analyst Mean Target Price |
$17.33 |
Source: FINVIZ
But it is estimated that the acquisition cost for ESL Investments of the shares for Sears Holding was only about $16. If so, it still has been a profitable investment (although the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has performed better). Early in 2012, Sears Holding soared on speculation that Lampert would take it private. To protect his investment, that will become even more likely if the stock price of Sears Holding continues to fall.

There are some aspects of running a website that I've been slow to adopt. But as part of my commitment to doing things differently this year, I'm working hard to get up to speed and add features and resources to D*S in a way that feels right for us (I never want to add things for the sake of adding them). One of the things I've wanted to start for years is finally ready to launch: a weekly Design*Sponge newsletter! I know that reading via a homepage isn't everyone's cup of tea — and neither are ad-jammed RSS/Feedblitz feeds — so we brainstormed ways to produce a weekly newsletter that did everything it needed to do but with additional content that would be interesting even to those who don't normally read newsletters. We came up with a format that felt authentic for us and made us excited to produce it. Here's what you can expect from our weekly D*S Newsletter:
- A digest of weekly posts
- Tips, links and suggestions that won't appear on the site
- A sneak peek at content coming the next week
- Behind-the-scenes peeks at upcoming projects and posts
- Extra content from interviews, podcasts and posts that you won't see on the blog
- Special downloadable freebies from our favorite artists (as often as we can)
I'm so excited to send the first newsletter next week, so if you want to sign up and check out the content and previews that you won't see here on the main blog, you can sign up for our new weekly newsletter below:
Thanks so much to everyone who's been patient with us in creating this. We're thrilled that we can finally launch and deliver this in a way that feels right for us. I'm signing off for the weekend, so I'll see you next week! Have a great weekend. xo, grace

This is a picture of the first sweater I almost finished knitting. The color is perfect for me; however the fiber is not. It's mohair.
As a new knitter, I quickly acquired new yarns mostly because I enjoyed the colors and price. I found this yarn for $12/hank and purchased an obscene amount intending to knit many projects for friends. I didn't know how much I disliked knitting with mohair. It gets in my nose and is scratchy.
I finished all the pieces to this sweater fairly quickly after I started but never seemed it so I could finish the collar and start wearing it. I started it almost 10 years ago.
I've had the best intentions of finishing it but I haven't succeeded. It's time I let myself out of the obligation to finish the sweater. I'm going to use it for bedding for the dogs. They will love it!
And I can move on to completing other UFOs.

RIP my first UFO sweater
2 comments:
Sometimes it takes a long time to be courageous and do what you know you really ought to do with a project that isn't working! Sometimes I have taken projects off the needles and caught the little stitch markers as they popped off. Sometimes the yarn could be used for other projects, sometimes not. Sometimes it had been a difficult problem and I simply couldn't figure out how to knit it or fix it no matter how often I tried (oh, lordy, the "Heere Be Dragone" shawl..), sometimes I'd had to fiddle with it so many times that the yarn was getting frayed and ugly, sometimes it was a wrong choice (I found that out about mohair too), and sometimes I looked at it and just plain hated it and wanted it to go away. So I made it go away. It is very liberating to discover that you are the boss of your knitting!

Albacore tuna and blue-fin tuna
Eaten fresh or preserved, the albacore tuna and blue-fin tuna have always been highly prized by the Basque people and linked to fishing since time immemorial.
The albacore or white tuna (thunnus alalunga) and the blue-fin or red tuna (thunnus thynnus) are two of the best established fish in the north of the peninsula and particularly in the Basque Country. The albacore tuna has whiter flesh than the blue-fin, which means it is the more highly prized of the two. The Kalitatea foundation grants a label to albacore and blue-fin tuna in the "A" and "Extra" categories of freshness only to fish caught by traditional methods respectful of the marine environment. The fish can be recognised because it has a white security tape on its tail, on which the following information appears: the name of the port where it has been unloaded and checked; the name of the species; a control number that identifies the boat which caught it, the unloading date, the checking team that selected it and the symbol of Eusko Label-Kalitatea, guaranteeing its quality.
Mer information
Information om produkten
- Typ av produkt: Fish
- Säsong: The range of fresh fish appears above all between June and October.
- Ursprung: The albarcore and blue-fin tuna are caught in the waters of the Cantabrian Sea. Obviously, because of the presence of the coast, they are mainly associated with the provinces of Bizkaia and Guipúzcoa and, within these, in the ports of Guetaria, Ondarroa and Fuenterrabía.
- Rekommenderad dryck: Albacore tuna is delicious eaten with dry white wine, rosé and young red. The choice will depend on the method of preparation and the ingredients accompanying it.

By Attorney William Abel
Special to THELAW.TV
So you were injured in an accident and decided to bring a personal injury claim against the negligent party. You have been suffering since your accident and you want to be compensated for your pain and discomfort. Isn't that enough to win your lawsuit? No, that is not enough. As I tell my clients, "it is not what you know, it is what you can prove." You may know that you are hurting, but can you prove it? Here are the top five things you must do in order to prove that you are injured.
1. Get Medical Treatment. The truth of the matter is that you may have pain and discomfort after an accident, but if you don't get medical treatment, then it is easy for the defendant to paint the picture that you are not hurt. Jurors don't like to hear that you "are not a complainer" to justify why you didn't get medical treatment. You are person, not a superhero, people get medical treatment when they are hurt. Get treatment at the time of the accident and regularly follow-up with your doctors. End of story.
2. Be Consistent With Your Medical History. When filling out your medical paper work or speaking with your doctor/nurse, communicate your symptoms. Not just your symptoms you are having that very moment, but your symptoms since the accident. If a body part is painful or numb or feels different since the accident, make sure to indicate that in the medical paper work and when you speak with your doctors. These complaints should be consistent from one doctor to the next. Even if you are seeing a doctor for a medical condition unrelated to your injury, you must disclose your injury in that doctor. Make sure to document your symptoms in both in the intake paper work and directly to the doctor/nurse.
3. Be Descriptive With Your Symptoms. When communicating your symptoms to your medical provider, specifically identify the type of pain you are experiencing. Different types of symptoms indicate different types of injuries. Don't write that you have "pain." Describe the pain. There is a difference between dull, achy pain and sharp pain with numbness and tingling. How you describe your symptoms, pain and injuries assists the doctor in making his diagnosis. Again the way you describe your symptoms should be consistent with all of your medical providers.
4. Be Accurate About Your Medical History. If you have had medical treatment to your low back before an accident and then suffered a new back injury from an accident, it is extremely important that you tell all of your doctor about your prior low back symptoms and treatment. The law allows you to bring a claim if an accident worsened (aggravated) a pre-existing medical condition, but juries look harshly upon people who are not truthful. You can still have a legal claim even if you have had prior treatment for the same body part, but a jury will turn you away if you don't disclose that prior/relevant medical treatment. There is no-one who knows your medical history better than you do. You lived it. As a result, a jury will not believe that you "forgot" your prior injury/condition if you failed to disclose it to the doctors treating you after an accident.
5. Communicate With Your Attorney. Whenever you plan on seeing a new medical doctor or getting new tests or radiological studies, let your attorney know. Your attorney is there to help guide you through the process, but they cannot do that if you do not keep them informed. Additionally, if you decide to apply for disability benefits or for government assistance, it is critical that your attorney be part of that process. In your effort to seek assistance, you may be jeopardizing your lawsuit. Keep your attorney in the loop.

Brushing aside objections of higher judiciary, the cabinet on Thursday approved a proposal to replace the existing judges' appointment system with a seven-member panel, majorly comprising of non-judges.
Following the cabinet's move, the UPA government is set to introduce the constitution amendment bill in the Rajya Sabha next week to scrap the two-decade old system of country's top five judges (Supreme Court collegium) recommending names for appointment of judges for the apex court and high courts.
The law ministry's bill proposes to set-up a seven-member Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) to be headed by the Chief Justice of India.
It will have two Supreme Court judges, law minister, two eminent personalities selected by a panel of the Prime Minister, CJI and the leader of the opposition in either House of Parliament, and secretary of the justice department as member secretary.

Steamboat Springs The native tongues of nearly a dozen countries filtered through the air on a bright and sunny Monday at Steamboat Ski Area.
The snow had been good, the course fun and the competition intense, and when it was over, the skiers from the second day of Steamboat's first Telemark World Cup event all seemed to be talking with the same message in mind.
Waiting for the awards ceremony, they played and performed tricks with their skis. They pointed and motioned as the diverse crew — from American teenagers to European thirtysomethings — came together to build a pyramid with their bodies. Few, if any, understood every word spoken, but laughter was the day's Rosetta Stone and Telemark skiing the shared love.
And with podiums full of Europeans on the men's and women's sides, the event's second race, a giant slalom at the ski area, was in the books.
"This is great," said Eirik Rykhus, a Norwegian skier who claimed the men's title Monday. "This is the best Telemark race event I've been to in the United States. The hill is very good. I really like this course."
Rykhus had a combined two-run time on the Sitz-See Me GS course of 1 minute, 40.30 seconds.
Philippe Lau, of France, earned his second World Cup podium spot in as many days, finishing second in 1:41.18, and Matias Wagenius, of Sweden, also earned his second trip to the podium with a time of 1:42.91.
On the women's side Amélie Reymond, of Switzerland, won for the second day in a row with a time of 1:48.74. Sandrine Meyer, also of Switzerland, was second in 1:50.85, and Norway's Katinka Knudsen was third at 1:52.78.
Meyer was a top-three finisher the day before, as well.
A jump midway through the course proved an obstacle for some skiers. Racers were judged on their times, their jumps and the quality of their telemark turns around the gates.
The United States, represented by a large team and many Steamboat Springs skiers tearing down their home hill, didn't manage any podium spots or top-10 finishes but still turned in a number of good races.
Shane Anderson, a coach with Steamboat's Telemark program, was the team's top male finisher. He was 12th at 1:50.40.
Drew Hauser was 13th, Cory Snyder was 14th, David Hobbs was 16th, Josh Lanzetta was 18th, Joel Nylander was 19th, Eric Lamb was 20th, Birk Larsen was 23rd, Ken Recker was 24th, John Aiden Rhode was 25th, Charlie Dresen was 26th, Cole Schneider was 27th and Chris Henery was 28th.
It was a good day, Anderson said, one made all the better for him as things ran smoothly. He's helped run the three-day event and said he's barely been able to take the time to focus on skiing.
"Everyone's really impressed with how well we put on races here in Steamboat, so that's really great," Anderson said. "Everything has gone great. We're a pretty small group of people, and we spend a lot of our winters together, so we all love to hang out."
On the women's side, Steamboat's Erika Walters was her country's top finisher, in 11th. Madi McKinstry was right behind in 12th. Kathleen Ross was 16th, and Elizabeth Klemer was 17th.
"I did OK. I got a lot of penalties," Walters said. "This is a lot of fun. I really like it. It's a little nerve racking at first, but it's great competing at home."
She'll get one more chance to ride the home snow today. Action in the final event of the three-day local World Cup event starts with the first run of a sprint classic race at 10:30 a.m. at Howelsen Hill. The second run follows at 1 p.m.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Wisconsin Governor Dares Dem Senators To Return
"I'm actually going to show up and do my job, unlike those state senators," Walker said at the end of the interview. "I'm in the Capitol doing my job. I'm daring them to come back and do what they're supposed to do, what they were elected to do and what I hope they will do by the end of the day."
Protests resumed in Madison, Wisc. on Friday, as government employees and their supporters continued to turn out in the thousands to demonstrate against Walker's proposal that would strip most state government workers of their collective bargaining rights. The Democrats' walkout prevented a vote on the proposal.

Doesn't matter anymore. The car was sold with the appointment right before Chris', but I think it's for the better. More money for that fantastic house they've been looking at.
Yup, sold. Things happen for a reason. Botond has been haggling me about this 93 325isM at my mechanics shop that is just sitting there and a 325ixA for sale that has the missing hub cap that he needs. I'll try to call him up today. I got alot of catching up to do at work since I was out on Friday. I guess overall, the best BMW(s) for a 30 yr old would be the BMW's I already have. I'm just too greedy
Rats...... Just got an email from the landlord. This was her reply: Dear Christopher, Thank you so much for coming to look at our house- I really enjoyed meeting you and your family. I have talked with my parents and unfortunately, they have decided to limit the house to applicants with one pet (since it is the house they eventually retire in, they are just really concerned about keeping it in the shape it is). I am really sorry that it won't work out for you and I hope you all find a good house very soon. Happy Holidays! Best wishes, Katie Overall, its for the best. This Katie told us that she lives just around the corner. Not good as I know she would have been checking up on us every so often. I need to find a place with space/garage soon so I can buy that E28 parts car. I could manage to buy it anyway and stay where we are now but the driveway is just too narrow to do much work. Eh, can't wait till I can hopefully buy a house next year
The 92 525iM is back on the market. Botond and I will check it out Saturday. Also, we are gonna check out a guy who is selling two 87 535is'. One needs tons of work and the other one has no title. He also has a complete E28 M5 interior as well .
Nothing to brag about the 92 525iM. That car had numerous warning lights: Fog light Taillight Brake light Coolant Level Trailer Light (Never heard/seen of it before) Both front seats need to be replaced. Badly worn but seat covers would be a temp fix. Passenger side fender (very front of it) isn't painted as its that black primer (the car is black). All four door panels are coming off. You need a long flat head screw driver to put through the grills to get the hood unlatched. Hood needs new shocks Trunk needs new shocks No record of the engine being replaced Glove box is a pain to close Needs blower motor He dropped his price to $1600 from $2K. That car is worth $500.
You completely exaggerated on that one. That car is definitely worth what he's selling it for. There are worse condition E34's selling for close a price to that. The seats aren't that bad. They could be like what my seats originally were before I replaced them; ripped up to shreds, but they just aren't. They're of typical wear for such an old car. I'll agree on you with the slew of warning lights, though. But the car is definitely worth what he's asking for it.
Did they claim the engine was replaced, with no documentation to back it up? The V8's 93-97 afaik were the ones w/ the nickasil issues; I don't recall there were problems w/ M50's that required replacement by BMW?
The owner told me that the previous owner told him that the engine was replaced and that it had 120K on it (the newer engine). No documentation at all. I assume that the previous owner somehow damaged the engine (overheated or whatever) and decided to drop in a lower mileage engine. So the current owner (who is a police officer) believed him. Still, the car is not worth $1600 IMO. I would pay $500 but I would pay $900 just to be nice. I wouldn't buy it anyway.

Cologne, Germany - 17 Jan 2013: The City of Cologne, Germany, and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the completion of a smarter traffic pilot to predict and manage traffic flow and road congestion in the city. The pilot demonstrates how the city of Cologne can anticipate, better manage, and in many cases, avoid traffic jams and trouble spots across the city using analytics technology.
The city's traffic engineers and IBM were able to predict traffic volume and flow with over 90 percent accuracy up to 30 minutes in advance. As a result, travelers would be able to better plan ahead and determine whether they should leave at a different time, plan an alternate route or use a different mode of transportation.
"The traffic prediction pilot results are very encouraging," said Thomas Weil, Director of the Cologne Traffic Control Center. "Having the ability to create actionable insight from the traffic monitoring data gives us an ability to better manage congestion as well as provide citizens with more precise traffic information. Our Traffic Command Center would be able to optimize current traffic flow while anticipating and planning for potential traffic incidents."
Cologne, Germany's fourth largest city with a population of just over one million, is a retail center, hub for trade shows and a cultural center with many museums and galleries. The increase in traffic density and congestion has incentivized the City of Cologne to seek out new ways to better manage and optimize traffic flow and increase the capacity of its transportation networks within the constraints of its infrastructure.
The traffic command center collects real-time data from more than 150 monitoring stations and 20 traffic cameras on the roads, highways and at intersections that are known to be traffic hot spots. However, the command center currently does not have advanced traffic management tools or a way to forecast what traffic will be like in the near future. The advanced transportation management software could help traffic officials identify imminent road congestion and help them plan and respond ahead of time.
"As one of the first congestion-prone large cities to do so, Cologne has taken an important step in the right direction with this project," said Eric-Mark Huitema, IBM Smarter Transportation leader, Europe. "Intelligent traffic management based on precise forecasting techniques can help cities anticipate and avoid traffic congestion and possibly reduce the volume of traffic, resulting in a more sustainable transportation network."
IBM transportation experts and researchers worked with the City of Cologne to analyze data from its traffic monitoring stations along the on the left bank of the Rhine for a period of six weeks with the aid of the IBM Traffic Prediction Tool and IBM Intelligent Transportation solutions. The detailed results, which compare the accuracy of the traffic prediction tool to the real-time data, revealed the accuracy of short-term forecasting for 30 minutes ahead to be 94 percent for vehicle speed and 87 percent for the volume of traffic.
The Traffic Prediction Tool invented by IBM Research is a component of the IBM's Intelligent Operation Center software, which draws on experience gained from Smarter Cities projects with cities around the world.

The Kin
Isaac (vocals, keyboards, didjeridoo) / Thorald (vocals, guitar, keyboard) / Shakerleg (drums, percussion)
One night a little over a year ago, three young men burst into New York City's Lower East Side mainstay, Katz's Delicatessen, and held up the joint. Sort of. Isaac and Thorald, musicians who, along with drummer Shakerleg, make up New York City band The Kin, were looking to rob ears, not wallets.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a musical robbery!" shouted Isaac as he strode in with Thorald right in front strumming a guitar. The trio launched into an original song, "Downtown Train" for the restaurant's patrons, winning them over with their energetic performance, rich harmonies, and sheer nerve. The Kin have launched several of these "musical robberies", including at the Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, Soho House, and the Seven Grand Whiskey Bars in Los Angeles, even at a French airport. "We're looking to surprise people and hit them on all senses." Thorald says.
The Kin have been capturing their gritty pop sound in the studio, working with legendary producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie and T.Rex), Nic Hard (Joey Ramone, The Church) and others to record the songs that will make up the band's major-label debut album to be released this summer. The forthcoming self-titled album showcases not only Isaac and Thorald's dual lead vocals and harmonies, but also the raw power of Shakerleg's stick-free, bare-knuckle, NYC subway-born drumming style.
This year, watch your back for The Kin as they continue to tour and launch their Interscope debut.

Gotta love Fall in Kentucky. It's here once again. There is one slightly disturbing aspect of this Fall arriving that has me thinking even more than usual.
As I get older it sure seems that the seasons, as well as time in general, just fly by. Add the fact that Hunter is a sophomore at the University of Kentucky and Suzanne is a junior at Anderson County High School and it really gets me to thinking, "Where has time gone?"

Karachi – Pakistan will introduce drug testing in its domestic Twenty20 tournament that begins Saturday in accordance with rules from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), its cricket board has announced.
Pakistan has been embarrassed internationally by doping offences with frontline paceman Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif failing tests in 2006.
Akhtar was banned for two years and Asif for one, but the bans were controversially overturned on appeal as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) tests were conducted out of competition.
Asif was again banned for a year after the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League in 2008.
The incidents prompted the International Cricket Council to direct member countries to introduce doping codes in domestic competitions.
"The PCB is introducing in-competition dope testing during the Twenty20 tournament in order to strive for drug free sports and to protect the basic framework for the athletes," the PCB said in a statement.
"Cricketers from all the regional teams participating in the Twenty20 championship will randomly be picked for dope testing.
"These tests will be conducted by WADA accredited independent doping control officers throughout the competition," the PCB said.
The PCB said it would put domestic cricket on a par with other countries and that a doping code had been prepared in accordance with WADA standards.
It said around 500 first-class cricketers were taught about doping during the last domestic season and made aware of rules and regulations through lectures.
The PCB said all players were also provided with a doping guide in Urdu, an updated list of banned drugs and a revision CD about doping standards. – Sapa-AFP

Halliburton: Oil Spill Fall Guy?
During Tuesday's Senate hearings on the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, BP, the operator of the Deepwater Horizon rig, came in for plenty of tough questions. But the focus is increasingly shifting to the role of Halliburton, which poured the cement for the rig, as well as for another operation that spilled oil off the coast of Australia last August.
In testimony to two separate Senate panels, BP America president Lamar McKay blamed the explosion on the failure of a "blowout preventer"—a piece of equipment designed to seal off the head of the well in the event of an accident. But Steven Newman, the CEO of rig owner Transocean, testified under oath that the blowout preventers "were clearly not the root cause of the explosion." Instead, his testimony pointed at the oil field-services giant Halliburton: "The one thing we know with certainty is that on the evening of April 20, there was a sudden, catastrophic failure of the cement, the casing, or both." Newman's remarks suggested that the blowout preventer may have been damaged by debris from casing or cement.
The sequence of events leading to the explosion drew heated questioning from senators. They pointed to a Wall Street Journal report indicating that the blast may have been caused by the lack of a necessary plug designed to prevent underground gas from escaping via the pipe that connects the rig to the well. The paper reports:
Before such a plug is placed, the job of keeping underground gas from coming up the pipe is done by heavy drilling fluid inside the well, commonly known as "mud." The plug is normally put in before the mud is removed, but according to the account of Halliburton, Transocean and the two workers, in this case, that wasn't done—drilling mud was removed before a final cement plug was placed in the well.
Tim Probert, chief health, safety and environmental officer at Halliburton, said his company was only following BP's orders. "Oil rigs don't explode as a result of a cement job," he said. "Halliburton executed a cement job consistent with the well plan." Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) pressed Probert on whether it was "unusual" to remove the mud before the plug was in place. "I don't have any basis for characterizing it as usual or unusual," replied Probert.
Both the industry and the Minerals Management Service, the Department of Interior agency that oversees oil and gas production, were aware of concerns about the cement used in Gulf wells before the Deepwater disaster. In a 2007 report, MMS noted that "blowouts" caused by poorly constructed well casings had increased in recent years. MMS has been working with the American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry's main trade group, to develop standards for "best cementing practices," but the agency has yet to issue new rules.
BP's McKay protested on more than one occasion that it's "inappropriate to draw any conclusion before all the facts are known." The three executives will have another chance to explain those facts—they're scheduled to appear before the House Energy and Commerce committee on Wednesday morning.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), through its Traffic Statistics Section, collects, summarizes, and interprets information on the traffic traveling on the state's highway system. The data is used to assess transportation needs, system performance and to develop highway planning and programming recommendations. Traffic data also plays a very important role in route planning and in the design of highway projects.
To collect this information, the Department operates two traffic-monitoring systems:
The first system is the Statewide Traffic Monitoring System consisting of over 100 permanent continuous count stations that can collect volume, speed, and vehicle classification data 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Nearly fifty of these sites also utilize weigh-in motion (WIM) technology to collect continuous truck weight data. These sites are located throughout the state to monitor overall traffic trends. Information from these counters is used to determine Annual Traffic Growth trends and develop Axle, Weekday, and Seasonal adjustment factors used with the state's coverage count program to determine estimates of annual average daily traffic (AADT).
The second system is the Statewide Coverage Count Program which utilizes portable traffic counters to collect 48-hour traffic counts on all State Highway System traffic sections and in rural and small urban areas and all highway performance-monitoring sections (HPMS). In 2010, this expanded to include non-state maintained high volume Federal Aid Routes; bringing the total number of short term counts to 48,000. The coverage count program operates on a three-year cycle, counting one-third of all sections annually. Meeting this need requires that 10,000 counts be collected on the state owned route system and that 6,000 counts be collected on the non-state owned Federal Aid Route System each year. INDOT uses portable classifiers whenever possible; 65% of all coverage counts are classified counts. Additional counts are taken within this program to support specific state projects. In addition, INDOT also contracts with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to collect coverage count data.

Dwane Casey has surprising Raptors on a roll
- Article by: JON KRAWCZYNSKI
- Associated Press
- March 10, 2014 - 10:55 AM
When Masai Ujiri left the Denver Nuggets to take over basketball operations for the Toronto Raptors, many saw coach Dwane Casey's departure at the end of the season as a done deal.
Then Casey took a team that appeared to be rebuilding and steered it up the Eastern Conference ladder. He's helped the Raptors navigate a major midseason trade while presiding over DeMar DeRozan's development from a one-dimensional offensive threat into a multifaceted centerpiece. Casey is also establishing the defensive mindset he's been looking for since he took the reins in 2011.
With the Raptors (35-26) in third place in the East and improving as the playoffs approach, Casey isn't just making a strong case for a contract extension. He's getting mentioned as a candidate for coach of the year. Casey just shakes his head at the possibilities.
"I promise you, I'm not worried about (my) job. I'm not worried about coach of the year. None of those individual honors," Casey said. "It's about the team. I preach that and I really mean that. I've been in this too long to get caught up in that. Next contract, I've never worried about a next job. That's the least of my worries."
Casey has harped on his players to become more defensive minded, but he's also empowered them. The result is a team that is nine games over .500 for the first time since 2006-07.
"He's a great coach," veteran Chuck Hayes said. "He wants our feedback. He commands the locker room, he commands the bench, he commands the huddle. But sometimes he asks for our feedback on what's comfortable for us and how we can get the job done."
Here are five other things to watch in the league this week:
NOAH'S MVP PUSH: LeBron James and Kevin Durant might have some company in the MVP race. With each gutty, savvy, tremendously well-rounded performance, Chicago's Joakim Noah is shouldering his way into the conversation. Noah's latest gem came against James' Heat on Sunday, when he had 20 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and five blocks in the Bulls' victory.
GREEN LIGHT: Gerald Green looked like a lost puppy while playing for seven teams in his first seven seasons. In his first year in Phoenix, he's averaging a career-high 15.6 points per game, including 41 in a win over Oklahoma City on Thursday.
SPURS ON TOP: The Spurs beat the Magic on Sunday for their sixth straight victory, which put them at 46-16 for the season. That's right, the best record in the NBA. And they've done it just as they always have, quietly. No one looks more ready for the playoffs right now.
ROCKETS AT HEAT: Houston has been on fire, winning 14 of 16 games to surge to third in the Western Conference. With James Harden peaking offensively and Dwight Howard and Patrick Beverley setting the tone on defense, the Rockets will roll into Miami on Sunday for a showdown with the champs.
TRAIL BLAZERS AT GRIZZLIES: Two contrasting styles meet when the run-and-shoot Blazers enter the Grindhouse on Tuesday. Memphis has overcome a poor start to push back into the crowded playoff picture in the West, so every home game is important.

Homeowner 'Bill Of Rights' Will Also Speed Foreclosures
Monday, December 31, 2012
SAN DIEGO Starting January 1, distressed homeowners will get some new protections with the California Homeowner Bill of Rights. But they may also see their homes go more quickly into foreclosure.
Aired 12/31/12 on KPBS News.
Legislation to protect distressed California homeowners will also expedite a process that can lead to foreclosure.
The laws that takes effect in the new year will outlaw some infamous practices, like dual tracking. That's where a person can have their home foreclosed, even though they thought the bank was working to help them keep it.
But the legislation also aims to accelerate a process that has been bogged down in red tape.
Ali Tarzi is with San Diego's Community Housing Works. He said when homeowners apply for a loan modification, in the new year the bank will have less than a week to inform that person their application was received.
"From that point, the bank has 30 days to give the homeowner an answer," he said, "modification approved or modification denied."
Tarzi said expediting the process will relieve the uncertainty that's plaguing many homeowners. But it will also boost the number of short sales and foreclosures in the near term.

Winemaker's Journal — NCW Wine Awards Gala coming up
Time is running out to order advance tickets to the year's biggest local wine event.
This year's North Central Washington Wine Awards is just around the corner, Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Town Toyota Center, 1300 Walla Walla Ave. The fun begins at 6 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m.
More than 30 award winning NCW wineries will be pouring wines during the 3rd annual event. All are medal winners in the NCW wine competition held last June. Judges blind tasted more than 222 wines from 35 local wineries at that time to determine medal winners and best of show awards. The 10 judges were a combination of local wine experts and experienced judges supplied by Wine Press Northwest and Great Northwest Wine. The results have been kept top secret since then.
Wineries as well as event guests will learn which wineries won what awards the night of the gala event. Award winners will also be published in the new issue of Foothills magazine, to be distributed to guests that night and statewide later that month. Foothills magazine and World Publishing Co. started the competition in 2011 to better acquaint the local public and the state with the high quality wines now being produced by NCW wineries.
Wineries invited to the gala include perennial winners like Chateau Faire Le Pont, Cave B Estate, Jones of Washington, Bensen Vineyards, Milbrandt Vineyards and Horan Estates, among many others. Wines will also be for sale by the bottle or case with profits benefitting the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center.
There will be plenty to drink. In addition to the more than 30 wineries pouring nearly 100 wines, there will be two breweries, two distilleries and at least one local apple cider producer.
And plenty to eat. A dozen local restaurants, caterers, bakeries and other gourmet food producers will be serving a wide assortment of appetizers.
Tickets are available now at $40 per person online at ncwwineawards.com. Check that site for complete information about the event and the judging. Advance tickets can also be purchased at The Wenatchee World, 14 N. Mission St. and at the door the evening of the event.
You don't want to miss this great event to celebrate local award winning wines.

Write researchers Lawrence Hamilton and Mary Stampone, who conducted the study (emphasis added):AdvertisementStatewide data from 5,000 random-sample telephone interviews conducted on 99 days over two and a half years (2010 to 2012) are merged with temperature and precipitation indicators derived from USHCN station records. The surveys carry a question designed around scientific consensus statements that climate change is happening now, caused mainly by human activities. Alternatively, respondents can state that climate change is not happening, or that it is happening but mainly for natural reasons. Belief that humans are changing the climate is predicted by temperature anomalies on the interview and previous day, controlling for season, survey and individual characteristics. Temperature effects concentrate among one subgroup, however: individuals who identify themselves as Independent, rather than aligned with a political party. Interviewed on unseasonably warm days, Independents tend to agree with the scientific consensus regarding anthropogenic climate change. On unseasonably cool days, they tend not to.Now seems as good a time as any to remind everyone: weather ≠ climate, weather ≠ climate, weather ≠ climate.AdvertisementThe full study is available in the latest issue of Weather, Climate, and Society.

Losing only one player to graduation after compiling a 22-13 record, the Marion County Lady Knights softball team has high expectations for the 2011 season. After winning the 20th district title last year, the Lady Knights beat Washington County 10-0 in the first round of the regional softball tournament before losing to Green County 2-1 in the second round of region.
Head Coach Trent Milby hopes that this year's squad will win the district crown for the second year in a row, and take their chances in the 5th region tournament once again.

Wizards 97 – Bobcats 83
January 8, 2014
Time Warner Cable Arena, Charlotte, NC
NBA.com highlights
This time the Wizards turned the tables in the 3rd quarter. After two straight performances getting embarrassed in the 3rd period, the Wizards broke this game open with a 17-0 run after halftime, leading by as many as 19 points.
Trevor Booker was the theme of that key 17-0 run, getting it started by leading a fast break and throwing an alley oop to John Wall, before rattling off 8 more points of his own. While Booker led the charge in the 3rd quarter, Beal closed this game out in the 4th quarter, introducing himself to the 2014 portion of the season. Beal broke out of a funk, shooting 10-18 from the field & scored nine points in the 4th quarter securing the lead.
The Wizards are on a weird stretch as of late, now having won 5 out of their last 6 road games, while losing 5 of their last 6 games at the home. This game started off very dull just as the atmosphere. It seemed as if the game was being played at a matinee movie theater with "Gigli" being the showing. Both teams were pretty even in the first half, but it was clear the Wizards had went in to the locker room at halftime & made a pact to dominate out the gates in the second half.
The price of a matinee ticket to "Gigli" may actually be equivalent to a ticket to #WizBobcats

Copy James Nourse fr John Nourse 11/29/1751 NoursLetter from Johne of Weston to James Nourse My dear Jimmy, I have received yours dated ye 19th & have on that occasion looked over some of your letters to my Father by which you seem to stand thus from Feb.23 to No. 19 ----- which is at ye rate of more than L 85 a year, while the interest of your fortune at 5 per cent, does not amount to L20. The whole of my income when I have sold a sufficient part of ye estate to discharge all incumbrances will be about L200, a year, I leave you therefore to judge whether I can allow such a proportion of it. You may wonder how my father managed, he lived by increasing every year the dept on the estate, which I must now pay. I know that yr present --, or at least late situation must of necessity run you into several expenses beyond what wd have been prudent at another time. Upon which account I shall willingly discharge all your present debts, with somewhat over for pocket money, But I supose that you need not be told that you must retrench for the future, If you think that you must live somewhat as a gentleman's son pray think of my condition who am expected by people who dont know my cicumstances to live as my Father did, with about one third of that they took to be his income, and without any future prospect of increasing it , by any trade or profession. Dick Hopton,( as my uncle Gregory informs me) is of opinion that I cannot pay your fortune until you are of age ----- the sum of the whole is this, I will pay yr debts, and will send you as much money, as you think will be neccessary for your expenses for the next 8 months, & on the 19th of July you will be age, when if you think fit -- you will receive it (your fortune). I hope dear Jimmy I need not tell you that I love you very well, but in this ye utmost that common prudence will permit me to do for you. And therefore I hope you will be contented with it and do (as I am continually striving to do) bring yr mind to the bound of your fortune I am yr affectionate Brother J. Nourse Weston Nov. 29, 1751 Copy of a letter from John Nourse of Weston Herefordshire, Eng. to James Nourse his 3rd brother --- From this letter it appears that James Nourse was born July 14. 1731.
