KDHX 88.1 Presents
Yeasayer [SOLD OUT]
The Firebird

Saint Louis, MO, 63103
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is all ages
Yeasayer's third album, Fragrant World, is a hulking beast of a record. Keyboards clank and wheeze, tiny claps stumble against busted drum machines, and there's very little obvious guitar. It's an album that grapples with the schizophrenia of the modern world by gathering piles of electronics and molding them into something huge and often gorgeous.
After touring endlessly in support of 2010's Odd Blood, Chris Keating, Ira Wolf-Tuton and Anand Wilder holed up in Gary's Electric Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to record Fragrant World, working away as the borough transitioned from fall to winter. While Odd Blood played with electronic textures and future paranoia, Fragrant World fully immerses itself in those themes, virtually dripping with worry, love, and concern for the planet we live on. Keating bleats and yammers his lyrics—sometimes, like on "Longevity," piling so many effects on his voice that the music takes on an otherworldly sheen. In direct contrast are Wilder's vocal contributions, which hover serenely over droning synths on "Blue Paper," and later weave in and out of staccato hand claps, and what sounds like a vintage computer dying, on "Devil and the Deed."
Across Fragrant World's 11 tracks, genre mashing is taken from a broad spectrum of sources: updated takes on dusky pop, jittery funk, exotic keyboard experimentation, haunting whirs of backward organ, exuberant bass, etc. "I wanted to make a record that was legitimately, to use a bad word, funky," Chris Keating told Under the Radar magazine. Even at it's darkest, that statement holds true. On their first single and album centerpiece, "Henrietta," Keating is in great form. The track is loosely based on Henrietta Lacks, a woman whose cells were cultured by a doctor in the 1950s without her permission. Those cells would later go on to be the most commonly used human cell line for medical research. Keating teases out universal ideas from bizarrely specific moments in history, repeating the refrain, "we will live on forever," referencing Lacks' story directly, contrasted against a darkly optimistic worldview. It's a risky move, but it pays off.
It's a testament to their sound and the unique identity they've carved out for themselves in the music community. They've managed to grow and expand into what they are now without losing touch with what made them so compelling in the first place: their willingness to pull from every musical source imaginable. Whether it's the warped and clipped alien-dancefloor banger "No Bones" that has strong ties to Timbaland's most experimental work for Aaliyah and Missy Elliott, or the gothic, almost industrial pulse of "Reagan's Skeleton," Yeasayer are truly making 21st century music. Couched in healthy fear, yet unafraid to move forward and expand, pulling in new influences just as frequently as new worries, Yeasayer have created a difficult, dense and beautiful record. It's as much a synthesis of the last three decades of pop music as it is a new way of grappling with the end of time.
Fragrant World was produced by Yeasayer.
From the greater Athens-Atlanta-Asheville area, the four have been playing music since the beginning of recorded history, but playing shows as Reptar since December 2008. Since then, Reptar has created quite a sensation around the Southeast and just wrapped up a 7" recording with producer Ben Allen (Sean P. Diddy Combs, Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, Beastie Boys Matt and Kim) to be released on Allen's label Make Records Not Bombs available for purchase at http://mrnb.bigcartel.com/
Reptar likes to dance and have been likened to The Talking Heads, Animal Collective, Prince, Marky Mark, Lake, Air, and the Jackon 5. The band is made up of Andrew McFarland, a Brazilian native, classically trained snare drummer, and sophmore at UGA, Ryan Engleberger, who currently attends Dartmouth College in the Artic Circle majoring in Jaco Pastorius' fretless bass, Graham Ulicny, a hernianted African Soukous guitarist and AstroBioElectroPhysics student at the University of North Carolina in Asheville, and William Kennedy, greatgodson to Herbie Hancock's ARP 2600 and connosiour of fine chocolate (85% cocao or above) and sophmore at UGA. With Reptar's powers combined, they can topple small buildings, smaltzy restaurants, and shmuppy next-door-neighbors with our devastating wall of synthesizers and samples. Dig?

Yes, you read correctly, this is the best 'Merican belt you can ever make. The best feature of the belt is its custom made shotgun shell conchos. This is a great project to show just how 'Merican you are and use up some of your empty shells.
Overview: In this instructable you will learn how to:
1) Make shotgun shell conchos
2) Freestyle tool a leather belt
4) Finish the belt
Leather belt blank
Shotgun Shells
Cut-off wheel (big-boy compressed air version of dremel) OR Hacksaw (the one for metal, not wood)
Buckle Hole punch
Spray bottle
Hard tooling surface (preferably chunk of scrap granite counter-top, get it from a counter-top place for free from their dumpster)
Sturdy work bench (I made mine out of 2x4's)
Leather stamps: Z-C431, V707, C428, S630 (OR substitute and make your own design)
Tandy Leather small double cap rivets 1371-12
High density sponge
Leather antique (stain)
Leather finish
Edge Kote
Optional: Punch for belt end (makes nice arch on end of belt, don't buy unless you are going to make a lot of belts, you can use a utility knife)
For this you have 2 options for accomplishing this task. If you have access to a pneumatic cut-off wheel, use it. If you don't, then you get to use muscle and a hacksaw.
1) Put the empty shell in a vice gripping the plastic part of the shell.
2) Use the die grinder or cut-off wheel to cut off the end of the shell. Use the lip as your line. The lip is the part at the end of the shell that is a larger diameter so that the ejector in a shotgun can pull the shell out of the chamber. Warning! Cutting shells may involve the smell of burning plastic or wood in the shell.
3) Punch out the primer. The circular thing in the middle of the back of the shell.
4) You now have some of the coolest conchos in the world.

A sellout crowd was onhand to hear Professor Ozone Roads last week, as he came to Lodi to discuss the development of the practical, everyday car. Professor Roads brought two guests with him to verify the corrupt practices of several special interests and their negative effect on attempts to create an environmentally friendly vehicle.
"We'd all be driving electric cars by now if it hadn't been for various conspiracies," stated the professor.
"Although I have absolutely no hard evidence to support any of my beliefs, I'm sure you will be a believer too, once I appeal to your emotions and your stereotypes about big business and other influential parties."
"To begin with, most of you are unaware of the conspiracy by some environmentalists to destroy the little known Japanese car company called Godzilla Motors. Godzilla had invented an electric car that could go 1,000 miles between charges. The only problem was that it pulled 1000 amps on a recharge, which was more than enough to dim everyone's lights, blow out their flat screens, and burn out their refrigerators. Godzilla hoped that the U.S. would build hundreds of power plants to support its product, but environmentalists and their attorneys stopped them at every turn," said Professor Roads.
Leaning on the financial ropes, Godzilla decided to sell their innovative machine to Colonel Motors. Because the "Electrazap" was far more expensive to produce than a traditional gasoline vehicle, Colonel decided to close down most of their assembly plants in the U.S. and move them to China, where they could build a competitive product. Unfortunately, most of the tens of thousands of employees were union members, who appealed to their congressional representatives that Colonel was out to destroy pensions, health plans and livelihoods.
As the stockholders screamed about the bad publicity, Colonel Motors decided to sell Godzilla's original product to Stalk Industries, the largest producer of corn products in America, including Flaky Flakes and Cornrow hair products. Stalk tried to convert the original car for use of ethanol, derived from their vast empire of corn products. Things began to catch on, but just like the corn, the complaints started to grow. People were upset that their favorite cereal was no longer available and that they were being forced to change hairstyles. The real problems began, however, when third world nations began to starve because there was no excess corn to sell or give them.
Stalk, reeling from the bad publicity in the worldwide press of "trying to starve the underprivileged people of the world," recalled the Cornmobiles and sent them to the crusher. Whether any of these innovative cars survived the onslaught or not is unknown.
"Despite these setbacks, we are not giving up the fight," said, Dr. Roads. "Tonight on this stage, we will reveal the next generation environmentally friendly vehicle. It weighs 15 pounds, is pedal-powered, and requires no outside source of fuel. We only need to figure out how to add air conditioning and a six-disc CD changer to make it a salable product."
Steve Hansen is a Lodi writer and satirist.

The Myth Of The Happy Yeoman
Changing times have revolutionised rural life in America, but the legend built up in the old days remains a powerful force
April 1956 | Volume 7, Issue 3
The sheer abundance of the land—that very internal empire that had been expected to insure the predominance of the yeoman in American life for centuries—gave the coup de gràce to the yeomanlike way of life. For it made of the farmer a speculator. Cheap land invited extensive and careless cultivation. Rising land values in areas of new settlement tempted early liquidation and frequent moves, frequent and sensational rises in land values bred a boom psychology in the American farmer and caused him to rely for his margin of profit more on the appreciation in the value of his land than on the sale of crops. It took a strong man to resist the temptation to ride skyward on lands that might easily triple or quadruple their value in one decade and then double in the next.
What developed in America, then, was an agricultural society whose real attachment was not, like the yeoman's, to the land but to land values. The characteristic product of American rural society, as it developed on the prairies and the plains, was not a yeoman or a villager, but a harassed little country businessman who worked very hard, moved all too often, gambled with his land, and made his way alone.
While the farmer had long since ceased to act like a yeoman, he was somewhat slower in ceasing to think like one. He became a businessman in fact long before lie began to regard himself in this light. As the Nineteenth Century drew to a close, however, various things were changing him. He was becoming increasingly an employer of labor, and though he still worked with his hands, he began to look with suspicion upon the working classes of the cities, especially those organized in trade unions, as he had once done upon the urban lops and aristocrats. Moreover, when good times returned alter the Populist revolt of the 1890's, businessmen and bankers and the agricultural colleges began to woo the farmer, to make efforts to persuade him to take the businesslike view of himself that was warranted by the nature of his farm operations. "The object of farming," declared a writer in the Cornell Countryman in 1904, "is not primarily to make a living, but it is to make money. To this end it is to be conducted on the same business basis as any other producing industry."
The final change, which came only with a succession of changes in the Twentieth Century, wiped out the last traces of the yeoman of old, as the coming first of good roads and rural free delivery, and mail order catalogues, then the telephone, the automobile, and the tractor, and at length radio, movies, and television largely eliminated the difference between urban and rural experience in so many important areas of life. The city luxuries, once do derided by farmers, are now what they aspire to give to their wives and daughters.
In 1860 a farm journal satirized the imagined refinements and affectations of a city in the following picture:
Slowly she rises from her couch. … Languidly she gains lier feet, and oh! what vision of human perlcclion appears before us: Skinny, bony, sickly, hipless, thighless, formless, hairless, teethless. What radiant belle! … The ceremony ol enrobing commences. In goes the dentist's naturalization efforts: next the witching curls are lashioned to her "classically molded head." Then the womanly proportions are properly adjusted: hoops, bustles, and so forth, follow in succession, then a proluse quantity of whitewash, together with a "permanent rose tint" is applied to a sallow complexion: and lastly the"killing" wrapper is arranged on her systematical and matchless form.
But compare this with these beauty hints for farmers' wives horn the Idaho Farmer April, 1935:
Hands should be soil enough to Halter the most delicate of the new labrics. They must be carefully manicured, with none of the hot, brilliant shades ol nail polish. The lighter and more delieate tone's ate in keeping with the spirit of freshness. Keep the tint of your fingertips friendly to the red of your lips, and eheck both your powder and your rouge to see that they best suit the tone ol your skin in the bold light of summer.
Nothing can tell us with greater duality of the passing of the veoman ideal than these light and delicate tones of nail polish.

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Jamie McMurray took the time to help rookie teammate Kyle Larson learn the road course at Sonoma Raceway.
SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Jamie McMurray took the time to help rookie teammate Kyle Larson learn the road course at Sonoma Raceway.
The payoff for working together was two Chip Ganassi Racing cars in the top three of the starting field of today's race.
McMurray won the pole for Sunday's race with a track record lap that bumped AJ Allmendinger from the top starting spot, and Larson qualified a surprising third.
Allmendinger seemed to have the pole locked down until McMurray turned a lap at 96.350 mph in the final minute of Saturday's qualifying session. It broke the record of 95.262 mph set by Marcos Ambrose in 2012.
"Great lap, I am so excited," McMurray said. "I thought our car in race trim was really good, really good on the long runs. We're not going to change a whole lot, I feel really good about it."
It's the first pole of the season for McMurray, 10th of his career, and third at Sonoma. McMurray also started from the pole last year but finished 25th.
He called the qualifying session stressful under NASCAR's new knockout format.
McMurray was on the verge of being eliminated in the first of the two rounds, but he went out for one last lap to advance into the top 12. Then he bumped Allmendinger as the clock wound down on the final 10-minute session.
"I think everybody in the garage area has been stressed out about trying to get that clean lap in qualifying all weekend long," McMurray said. "This knockout qualifying is just an emotional roller-coaster. There's a lot of highs and lows with it."
Allmendinger wound up second in a race he believes he can win. He was out of the Sprint Cup Series a year ago because of a failed random NASCAR drug test in 2012, so while the series was racing at Sonoma, Allmendinger was in the Nationwide Series race at Road America.
He delivered in the Wisconsin race for his first career victory and found his way back into a full-time ride in Cup. He wasn't disappointed after McMurray bumped him from the pole, but it eyeing another win.
"We were in position to have (the pole), so it could be a lot worse," Allmendinger said. "It sucks when you are that close, but you know what? Jamie put in a heck of a lap. We've got a clean view of the track when we go green and we're going to have some fun tomorrow. We've got a pretty good shot to win this thing."
In a surprise, McMurray's rookie teammate Kyle Larson was third to give Chip Ganassi Racing two cars in the top three. Larson doesn't have a ton of road course experience, and the rookie is admittedly still learning how to shift.
Larson, who replaced road course specialist Juan Pablo Montoya in the Ganassi entry, seemed surprised by his run.
"It would be interesting to see what Juan could have done today in my car because I don't feel I'm that good on road courses," Larson said. "I've never raced here before. I really rely on McMurray — I sat in the lounge with him for 15 or 20 minutes and he just went through every corner with me and tried to give me as much information as I needed.
Carl Edwards was fourth and followed by Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Newman. The rest of the top 12 included Brian Vickers, Paul Menard, Joey Logano, Danica Patrick and Casey Mears. Patrick has now advanced into the final round of qualifying five times this season.
"We would have liked it to be better, but we'll take it," Patrick said.
Hendrick Motorsports goes into Sunday's race looking to extend its five-race winning streak, but its drivers will have to come from deep in the field to make it six straight. Jeff Gordon, the all-time winner at Sonoma with five victories, was the highest-qualifying Hendrick driver at 15th.
"We pride ourselves on being good on the road courses, especially here at Sonoma," Gordon said. "Obviously we will talk to our teammates, and see what they were dealing with as well. Very disappointed to not have any Hendrick cars in the top-12."
Jimmie Johnson, winner of three of the last four races, qualified 22nd. It's his lowest starting spot at Sonoma since 2007. Failing to advance in the final group of 12 in qualifying were road course favorites Tony Stewart, the only Stewart-Haas Racing driver not to make it into the final group, as well as Ambrose and defending race winner Martin Truex Jr.

Chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of anti-cancer drugs that are injected into a vein, under the skin, or into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or drugs that are taken by mouth to destroy or control cancer cells. Except when given into the CSF, these drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body, making this treatment useful for cancers such as leukemia that spread throughout the body.
Chemotherapy is the main treatment for most people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Doctors give chemo in cycles, with each period of treatment followed by a rest period to allow the body time to recover. Chemo is often not recommended for patients in poor health, but advanced age by itself is not a barrier to getting chemo.
Treatment of AML is usually divided into 2 phases:
- Induction is the first phase of treatment. The goal is to clear the blood of leukemia cells (blasts) and to reduce the number of blasts in the bone marrow to normal.
- Consolidation is chemo given after the patient has recovered from induction. It is meant to kill the small number of leukemia cells that are still around but can't be seen (because there are so few of them).
A third phase called maintenance involves giving a low dose of chemo for months or years after consolidation is finished. This is often used for the M3 subtype of AML (also known as acute promyelocytic leukemia, or APL), but it is rarely used for other types of AML.
The chemo drugs used most often to treat AML are cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside or ara-C) and the anthracycline drugs (such as daunorubicin (daunomycin), idarubicin, and mitoxantrone).
Some of the other chemo drugs that may be used to treat AML include:
- Cladribine (Leustatin®, 2-CdA)
- Fludarabine (Fludara®)
- Topotecan
- Etoposide (VP-16)
- 6-thioguanine (6-TG)
- Hydroxyurea (Hydrea®)
- Corticosteroid drugs, such as prednisone or dexamethasone (Decadron®)
- Methotrexate (MTX)
- 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)
- Azacitidine (Vidaza®)
- Decitabine (Dacogen®)
Possible side effects
Chemo drugs attack cells that are dividing quickly, which is why they work against cancer cells. But other cells in the body, such as those in the bone marrow (where new blood cells are made), the lining of the mouth and intestines, and the hair follicles, also divide quickly. These cells are also likely to be affected by chemo, which can lead to side effects.
The side effects of chemo depend on the type and dose of drugs given and how long they are taken. These side effects can include:
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
Chemo drugs also affect the normal cells in bone marrow, which can cause lowering of blood cell counts in AML patients. This can lead to:
- Increased risk of infections (from having too few normal white blood cells)
- Easy bruising or bleeding (from having too few blood platelets)
- Fatigue (from having too few red blood cells)
Most side effects last a short time and go away once treatment is finished. Low blood cell counts can last weeks, but then should return to normal. There are often ways to lessen these side effects. For example, drugs can be given to help prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting. Be sure to ask about medicines to help reduce side effects, and let your doctor or nurse know when you do have side effects so they can be managed effectively.
Drugs known as growth factors, such as G-CSF (filgrastim, Neupogen®) and GM-CSF (sargramostim, Leukine®), are sometimes given to increase the white blood cell counts after chemo, to reduce the chance of infection. However, it's not clear if they have an effect on treatment success.
If your white blood cell counts are very low during treatment, you can help reduce your risk of infection by carefully avoiding exposure to germs. During this time, your doctor may tell you to:
- Wash your hands often.
- Avoid fresh, uncooked fruits and vegetables and other foods that might carry germs.
- Avoid fresh flowers and plants because they may carry mold.
- Make sure other people wash their hands before they come in contact with you.
- Avoid large crowds and people who are sick.
You may get antibiotics before there are signs of infection or at the earliest sign that an infection may be developing (such as a fever). You may also get drugs that help prevent viral and fungal infections.
Some of the most serious side effects of chemo are caused by low white blood cell counts. Decisions about when a patient can leave the hospital are often influenced by his or her blood counts. Some people find it helpful to keep track of their counts. If you are interested in this, ask your doctor or nurse about your blood cell counts and what these numbers mean.
If your platelet counts are low, you may be given drugs or platelet transfusions to help prevent bleeding. Likewise, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue caused by low red blood cell counts may be treated with drugs or with red blood cell transfusions.
Certain drugs have some specific possible side effects. For example, when used at high doses, cytarabine can cause certain problems, including dryness in the eyes and effects on certain parts of the brain, which can lead to problems with coordination or balance. The drug dose may need to be reduced or stopped altogether if these side effects appear.
Anthracyclines can damage the heart, so they might not be used in someone who already has heart problems.
Other organs that could be damaged by chemo drugs include the kidneys, liver, testicles, ovaries, and lungs. Doctors and nurses carefully monitor treatment to limit the risk of these side effects as much as possible.
If serious side effects occur, the chemo may have to be reduced or stopped, at least for a short time. Careful monitoring and adjustment of drug doses are important because some side effects can be permanent.
Tumor lysis syndrome is another possible side effect of chemo. This can occur in patients who have large numbers of leukemia cells in the body, so it mainly occurs in patients during the induction phase of treatment. When chemo kills these cells, they break open and release their contents into the bloodstream. This can overwhelm the kidneys, which aren't able to get rid of all of these substances at once. Excess amounts of certain minerals can also affect the heart and nervous system. This can be prevented by giving extra fluids during treatment and by giving certain drugs, such as bicarbonate, allopurinol, and rasburicase, which help the body get rid of these substances.

I watched as Roya walked towards the test car. A long line of men had gathered by the side of the road. As she walked slowly along the line, her head bowed down, she heard the whispers of invective and abuse.
She refused to tell me exactly what they had said, but I later found out she had been called a "prostitute", a "bitch" and an "un-Islamic whore." She failed the test. "We have freedom now," she said. "But we are not free to enjoy it."

Not a pretty picture, dave-but it would be interesting to travel back in time 150 years ago to see how some pre-modern Christian cultures treated women.

What Christian sects don't allow women to drive?
Amish? Well, yes, though no one in that sect is allowed to drive a car. I lived in the middle of Amish country, and spent a lot of time at my friend's house which was next to some Amish farms. I don't think I ever heard anyone call anyone else a whore. But I understand that it's a standard technique to defuse criticism of a culture or religion by saying "Oh yeah, well Christians do/did similar/worse things", so have at it.
The problems in the Muslim world will take quite a long time to change, as many of their worst traits are deeply embedded in both their religion and their culture. If the technological acceleration of the more advanced societies is not halted by some horrible catastrophe, it will eventually force the Muslim world to either adapt and modernize or choke in the medieval dust. It's already happening but unlike in the West where the changes are now so firmly entrenched as to be internally unstoppable, the modernization of the Muslim world is still quite vulnerable to fatal attacks from the medievalists. Let's hope these brave women steel themselves to the abuse, as women and blacks had to do once in America, and help drag their culture into the future. - 1/22/06, 7:55 PM

Actually, what determines how society treats women depends on what the society will put up with in its treatment of women.
Do some Muslims treat women badly?
Do some Christians treat women badly?
Do some atheists treat women badly?
Yes, to all of the above.

I was in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia last year and saw a lot of Muslim women driving - both cars and two wheelers. Most women there wore head scarves - but I noticed a large percentage were part of the workforce.
I can't remember exactly, but even though Malaysia is predominantly Muslim, I think the goverment there considers itself secular. - 1/23/06, 6:45 AM

Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker Quinn: Take Steps To Stop Abusive NYPD Practices
With the conclusion of the trial in the groundbreaking class action lawsuit Floyd et. al v. City of New York on May 20 and the upcoming mayoral election in November, we are at a decisive moment that provides an historic opportunity to enact meaningful and long-term change in NYPD practices.
In 2012, 84 percent of New York City residents stopped by the police were African-American or Latino. 88 percent of these stops resulted in no arrest or summons. In her closing remarks on the last day of the trial in the Floyd case, Judge Shira Scheindlin referred to this number as a "high error rate."
While the final ruling of the case will take some time – you can make your voices heard now.
The Floyd case, increased press coverage, and the efforts of policy advocacy and grassroots organizations like the Police Reform Organizing Project, have exposed the city of New York to the reality of abusive police practices. Unfortunately, though, the targeting of low-income communities of color is not the only problem with police policies. Beyond stop and frisk, the NYPD continues to engage in the illegal surveillance of Muslim communities and target, harass and abuse LGBT people, sex workers, street vendors, homeless individuals and the mentally ill. The Police Reform Organizing Project is committed to fighting for the human and civil rights of all New Yorkers.
Join PROP in urging an end to the ineffective and discriminatory practices of the NYPD by signing our petition and sharing it with your friends.
- Mayor
Michael Bloomberg - City Council Speaker

Rio de Janeiro is enormous and one of the liveliest cities in the world. It's no mean feat to squeeze everything in to one weekend, but it's possible. This itinerary will help you see the biggest and best sights in Rio, as well as some more peaceful spots for when you need a break from the hectic streets.
Accommodation in this diverse and multicultural city is as varied and as different as the people that live within it. Choose from good cheap hostels in bohemian Vila Madalena, cozy bed and breakfasts to serviced apartments, three to five star hotels and boutique luxury hotels. There is something to suit any type of travelers needs in this city. Even the up-market accommodation is still reasonably affordable, making it a great city to spend a little and get a lot.
In Sao Paulo, huge western shopping malls are known as 'shoppings' to the locals and the rest of Brazil. Here, you can buy practically anything. Aside from the malls, there are areas catering specifically to the varied shoppers needs. Visit the open markets in the Downtown area of the city for fresh produce while the local shops sell more traditional Brazilian items, and are where the best bargains can be found.
The diversity of Sao Paulo is obvious in its cuisine and the many different eateries it has, making its food famous. From American style steakhouses, to a huge amount of Japanese restaurants, pizzerias and bakeries, Sao Paulo covers any kind of food craving. Brazilian food is hugely popular in Sao Paulo and with European and indigenous African influences, Brazilian dishes change throughout the region. With over 12,000 restaurants, Sao Paulo literally spoils you for choice.
As the largest city within the huge country of Brazil, there is certainly no shortage of sights and activities. Sao Paulo has the culturally old, large parks full of monuments and museums, huge metal sky scrapers, cathedrals and plenty of modern architecture. It is a bustling city with so much on offer, so much so that Paulistanos (locals) famously would not live anywhere else. Explore art house cinemas, theatres, restaurants and museums.
Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil and is the capital of the state of the same name, established in honor of Saint Paul of Tarsus. With a significant population of over 11 million Paulistanos (local inhabitants), the city is a teeming metropolis with regional influences of arts and entertainment. Its culture reaches far beyond history and stretches into the modern day with worldwide acclaimed events such as the Brazilian Grand Prix and the world's largest Gay Pride Parade.
Rio offers its tourists a wide range of choices when it comes to accommodation, from five-star hotels to a bustling hostel, to B&Bs or apartments amongst the more scenic areas. Many of Rio's visitors stay in the Southern area where the hotels boast fitness centers and rooftop swimming pools, and similar to the shopping scenario, there is less accommodation in the North Zone.
With an exciting mix of high-end shopping malls and flea markets, shopping in Rio won't disappoint. Brazil is one of the world's largest suppliers of coloured gemstones, making jewelry shopping in Minas Gerais a priority for many tourists. Throughout Rio you will find shoes, local music, bookshops and souvenirs along with cheap fashion and if that isn't for you, almost every major district has a shopping mall of some sort.
Due to the diversity in culture Rio de Janeiro doesn't have an identifiable cuisine, but instead, Rio's dining scene offers you drinks and dishes from all over the world. From Italian pastas to Chinese wontons, Spanish empanadillas to Arabian kibbeh there have been variations of other culture's favourite dishes that are now enjoyed throughout the country. From botecos or five-star restaurants, make the most of what Rio has to offer your taste buds.
Sun, sea and sexy beaches – exactly what you'll find in Rio, surrounded by superb natural views, salsa schools and shopping malls. Rio de Janeiro is divided into zones, districts and neighborhoods, each of them offering something different to both locals and tourists. With the opportunity to hang-glide, hike mountains and relax on cable car rides, Rio is perfect for those looking to appreciate the wildlife. Anyone who loves the water will be spoilt for choice with surfing, scuba diving and plenty of sports available along most of the beach fronts. When the sun goes down the city comes alive with music venues, samba shows and nightclubs with a venue for all tastes.
Known as Cidade Maravilhosa, the Marvellous City, Rio is home to some of the friendliest people and the world's most famous beaches. Brazil's interracial history of Portuguese, Japanese, Indian and German settlers have created a multi-cultural society which has led to festivals and celebrations that are known all over the world. Choose from a fantastic selection of water sports, learn how to samba or view the city from one of the cable cars.
Recife and surrounding regions have accommodation for all tastes and pockets, catering for tourist and business travelers and longer stays. Recife is a regional hub, a popular holiday break and business travel destination within Brazil. A lot of accommodation is concentrated in the Boa Viagem beach district which is handy for the airport and the Old town of Olinda. Pernambuco's superb tropical beaches are North and South and the paradisical Fernando de Noronha islands are just a one hour flight away.
Recife has been a regional hub for services and commerce going back to Brazil's colonization in the 16th century. Its melting pot of races and creeds has created one of the richest arts, crafts, music and dance scenes in Brazil. Street markets in Boa Viagem, Old Recife and Olinda are a fun way to mingle with the locals and experiment with local delicacies. Containting much cheaper products than the up-market shops or galleries, you are welcome to bargain here, with a smile, or 'cry' (chorar) as the locals say. Kit yourself out with locally produced colourful masks and clothes for Carnival and São João festivals - they double up as souvenirs for back home.
The mixture of diverse ethnic traditions in colonial times gave rise to the exotic flavors which characterize Pernambuco's cuisine today. The state manages to satisfy a wide variety of different tastes with gastronomical wealth and diversity. The Pernambucan cuisine is a rich fusion of Portuguese, African and native Brazilian dishes, often combined with the freshest tropical fruits, herbs and vegetables. The taste for sweets originated in the kitchens of the sugar plantation houses and whilst the coast provides abundant seafood, the countryside produces sun-dried beef and traditional cheese.
Full of sun, sea and surf, Recife is an ideal Brazilian getaway, but this sunny spot has more to offer than your typical beach-side favorites. Recife holds one of most colorful and folkloric carnivals in the country and along with its neighbor, Olinda, they are considered to be amongst the most culturally diverse cities in Brazil. The local multicultural arts and music scene thrives with galleries, exhibitions and live performances taking place throughout the year. Visit museums, squares, parks and churches to walk through the centuries of Pernambucan and Brazilian history. Today's Recife is dynamic, exciting, abuzz with action, warmth and color and always ready for a good time.
Located in central northeast Brazil, Recife and the state of Pernambuco have everything to make them one of the country's most interesting places to visit. Recife has a unique and lively culture and a warm sunny tropical coastal climate all year round. With the state's multicultural roots, dance, music art and cuisine it enchants visitors with originality, diversity, tradition, vibrant nightlife and colorful carnivals. Pernambuco locals are well known for their hospitality, always prepared to make any visitor's stay a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

Iran Can Get Respect When It Behaves Respectably
It was a shame but not all that surprising today when the awaited encounter between U.S. President Barack Obama and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rohani didn't happen at the United Nations. It seems Obama offered to shake Rohani's hand, but the invitation was declined. The last time leaders of the two countries met was 36 years ago -- during the reign of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. He'd been installed in a U.S.-backed coup against a democratically elected leader, only to be overthrown in 1979 by Islamic revolutionaries who held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.
In other words, there's a lot of history here -- the kind that makes opening a new chapter of less hostile relations difficult. Over the years, what each country wants from the other hasn't much changed. The Iranians want to be treated with respect, and the Americans want Iran to behave respectably, especially when it comes to Iran's nuclear program.
The Iranians say this program exists only to produce electricity and pursue medical research. They say they've no intention of building nuclear weapons and have a right to nuclear technology, including uranium enrichment. As a relatively prosperous and scientifically advanced country, they say, Iran shouldn't be forced to rely on others for part of the nuclear fuel cycle: It's a matter of national pride.
Fine, so long as Iran meets its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and submits its nuclear installations to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency. As we've argued before, the U.S. should relieve Iranian anxieties by stating that it can live with a limited Iranian enrichment capacity. That would go a step beyond Obama's statement to the UN today that Iran has the right to civilian nuclear power.
At the same time, if the Iranians want to be believed when they say their program is innocuous, they would do well to stop insisting, as Rohani has in recent days including in his own speech to the UN, that Iran has never sought nuclear weapons. The U.S. and its allies collected strong intelligence showing Iran had such a program until it halted the work in 2003. Iran needs to acknowledge the past program and allow the IAEA to investigate sites suspected of housing it. When South Africa renounced its nuclear-weapons program, it initially tried to hide the full story, which bred mistrust. Only when it declared in 1993 that it had developed nuclear bombs and invited the IAEA to verify its statements did its government gain credibility.
The Iranians may think they can't afford to be that open -- perhaps fearing that if they acknowledge having ever tried to develop the bomb, the U.S. will seize on the admission as an excuse for pursuing regime change. That's understandable. On top of the U.S. history of meddling, there's the fact that undermining the Iranian government has become an explicit goal of some members of Congress: They support increasingly severe sanctions regardless.
Obama told the UN that the U.S. doesn't seek regime change, but it will take more than that to convince the Iranians. Congress will have to stop tightening the squeeze on Iran and allow the diplomats to test whether the punishments already in place have created an opening for meaningful talks. A settlement could offer the lifting of sanctions in stages as Iran meets its IAEA obligations. That would be a good result -- but to get there, each side must first convince the other that it's serious.

A little bit of feta cheese goes a long way in the tangy marinade for this dish.
Leave a Review
I've made this a lot, I never get the recipe exactly the same, and it's always very good. This last time I let it marinate all day and the garlic really kicked in and improved it. I always serve it with couscous or grilled homemade pita.
I've made this a half-dozen times, always with whatever herbs are in the garden, oregano, rosemary, etc). The yogurt marinade really protects the chicken from drying out. Everybody likes it and it couldn't be faster or simpler.
Made it the first time by the book. It was very moist, but not very flavorful. Doubled the rosemary and garlic and added some cayenne pepper the next time. It was wonderful - so moist. Used strained Greek yougurt I bought at Whole Foods Market. Marinatd it all day - next time will do it over night. I found I only needed one very large red pepper and also added a vidalia onion cut into wedges. Made tzatziki sauce to go with it, but it was not needed - chicken was so moist and flavorful. Next time will serve tzatziki with pita bread before dinner. A real keeper - will be making this often.
I didn't have all the ingredients so I cheated a little but it is so delicious that my husband asked me to make it again the next weekend. I used a store brand Tuscan Herb Italian dressing, feta and 2 cloves of garlic as the marinade. Skewered the chicken, mushrooms and red pepper. This is now one of our top 3!!!
This had a decent flavor but just so bland. I doubled the garlic and rosemary and added onion to the skewers, and nothing! If I made it again, it would need some major kick. And by the way, I made 3 chicken breasts for 2 people and it wasn't enough. It definetly needs something significant on the side...
Great summertime grilling recipe. I let the chicken marinade for almost 3 hours and it was extremely flavorful and tender.
This dish was good the night we made it but the leftovers were great. As suggested by other reviewers, we doubled the amount of garlic and rosemary, and added some cayenne. The next evening, we chopped the chicken and red pepper, tossed it with some commercially prepared yogurt and cucumber dip and some extra feta cheese, added black pepper to taste and stuffed it in pita bread. Served it with grilled zucchini and salad tomatoes we picked up at the farmers market. It was an excellent hot weather weeknight meal. Next time we will add some chunks of onion to the brochettes for flavor and moisture.
I use this marinade on bone in chicken thighs as well and always receive compliments. Outdoor bbq is best!
I have made this on both indoor and outdoor grills and it always is very very good. I also marinate it longer than recommended in the recipe, sometimes all day, with great flavor.
I did not think this was the best, but my dinner guests gave it rave reviews. I agreed with them that it was very moist, but I thought it could use a little more flavor. I think next time (tomorrow) I will try it with some crushed red pepper and extra garlic. Overall I think I will become a big fan of this.

Part Three of our interview with Barb Anderson of the Minnesota Family Council [click HERE to listen]. This segment was pre-taped and aired Saturday, Dec. 18, 2010. Anderson discusses the pro-homosexual propaganda fed to teachers through pro-LGBT seminars and workshops — which is then translated into biased, pro-"gay" education programs in schools. Anderson agrees with AFTAH's Peter LaBarbera that liberal educators do not want parents to know about the radically pro-homosexual lesson programs that they are foisting on impressionable students in the name of "diversity." She also comments on the politics of "bullying." To listen to Part One of the interview, go HERE; for Part Two, go HERE.

The overall goal of this project is to address how disproportionate confinement of racial/ethnic minorities-especially African Americans-affects health disparities in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. African Americans comprise only 13% of the general population, but about 40% of incarcerated youth and adults and 50% of new cases of HIV/AIDS. Yet, large multisite national longitudinal studies of HIV/AIDS focus on high- risk samples such as men who have sex with men (MACS), women infected with HIV and other "at-risk" females (WIHS), and infected women and their infants (WITS). These studies do not include adolescents, do not sample correctional populations, and do not examine the effect of incarceration on HIV/AIDS. Most studies of incarcerated populations are cross-sectional and provide limited information on the effects of incarceration. To continue to address this key omission in the literature, we propose to extend the Northwestern Juvenile Project, a longitudinal study of 1829 juvenile justice youth, enrolled at age 10-18 years (1172 males, 657 females;1005 African Americans, 296 non-Hispanic whites, 524 Hispanics, and 4 "other" race/ethnicity). Currently, the HIV/AIDS component of the project (RO1 DA022953) includes only a subsample (n=743) and 10-, 11-, 12-, and 13-year follow-up interviews. We now propose to (1) study the entire sample (originally 1829, now 1678);(2) conduct 3 additional annual interviews (14-, 15-, and 16-year follow-ups), at which time participants will be aged 26-34 years;(3) collect official records to cross-validate self-reported data (on STI status, arrests, incarceration history, and services received);(4) test the entire sample for HIV infection, chlamydia, and gonorrhea;and (5) administer a new module on incarceration, release, and re-entry. Participants are re-interviewed whether they are re-incarcerated or back in the community. Using data collected in prior phases and the additional interviews, we will examine patterns of drug use, drug use disorder, HIV/AIDS risk and infection from adolescence (ages 10-17 years) to emerging adulthood (ages 18-24 years) and young adulthood (age 25 and older).
Our Specific Aims focus on how incarceration, release, and re-entry (e.g., age[s] incarcerated, number of incarcerations, length of incarcerations, amount of time spent in the community between incarcerations) affect the following: (1) drug use behaviors (including the number and types of substances used, frequency of use, and route of administration) and drug use disorders (onset, persistence, desistance, and recurrence);(2) HIV/AIDS sex risk behaviors (including unprotected anal or vaginal receptive sex and trading sex for drugs) and injection-risk behaviors;(3) prevalence and incidence of HIV infection and other STIs;(4) the relationship between patterns of drug use and disorder and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors, especially how risk and protective factors predict, moderate, and mediate these relationships. This study responds to the initiatives of NIDA, NIAAA, and other NIH institutes to reduce health disparities in HIV/AIDS in minority populations.
Racial/ethnic minorities suffer disproportionately from the HIV/AIDS epidemic and are disproportionately incarcerated. To address health disparities in HIV/AIDS, we must study correctional populations, which increased from nearly 1.8 million in 1997 to over 2.2 million by mid-year 2006. The proposed study will guide public health policy by investigating how incarceration affects the development of substance use and disorder and HIV/AIDS;identifying risk and protective factors that are potentially malleable;identifying points of intervention during key developmental periods;and extending current conceptual models to include incarceration, release, and reentry.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Edward Gardner and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra perform three great orchestral works by Bela Bartók. Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a highly atmospheric work and achieved wider recognition after being used in Stanley Kubrik's The Shining. Also on the disc is the Suite from Bartok's gritty ballet score The Miraculous Mandarin and Four Pieces for Orchestra.
Sunday Times, 24th November 2013
The Melbourne orchestra sounds wonderful in these works...Gardner's account [of the Four Orchestral Pieces] certainly affirms this as undue neglect. The Miraculous Mandarin ballet suite makes a sizzling beginning. Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta again reveals how much searing intensity can lie in pure abstraction.
The Observer, 8th December 2013
Solo keyboard and percussion work is fresh and vigorous [in the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste)...That suppleness carries through to the Miraculous Mandarin suite, which glitters with strange orchestral colour, and to the Four Orchestral Pieces, less showy but well worth hearing.
BBC Music Magazine, January 2014
Gardner and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra give first-rate performances of all this music, with a real virtuoso account of the exhilarating Miraculous Mandarin Suite, in particular...the internal balance of the orchestra itself is impeccable.
Gramophone Magazine, January 2014
[Gardner] draws performances that pack a real punch while remaining attentive to significant detail lurking behind the top line...For me, it's the disc's highlight - but The Miraculous Mandarin in particular is an instructive listen.
MusicWeb International, 27th January 2014
The conductor is an Englishman, the increasingly impressive Edward Gardner; but it's the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra that is the real star here, along with the outstanding sound engineering team. The net result is a thrilling CD - and an enterprising one, too, in that, though two of the items are well established in the Bart=k canon.

Analysis Services
Analysis Services is an online analytical data engine used in decision support and business analytics, providing the analytical data for business reports and client applications such as Power BI, Excel, Reporting Services reports, and other data visualization tools.
A typical workflow for Analysis Services includes authoring a Multidimensional or Tabular data model, deploying the model as a database to an Analysis Services instance, processing the database to load it with data or metadata, setting up data refresh, and assigning permissions to allow data access by end-users. When it's ready to go, this multi-purpose semantic data model can be accessed by any client application supporting Analysis Services as a data source.
Models are populated with data from external data systems, usually data warehouses hosted on a SQL Server or Oracle relational database engine (Tabular models support additional data source types). Models specify query objects, such as cubes, but also specify dimensions that can be used in multiple cubes, calculations and KPIs that encapsulate business logic, and interactions such as navigation and drill-through behaviors.
Analysis Services on-premises and in the cloud
Analysis Services is now available in the cloud as an Azure service. Currently in preview, Azure Analysis Services supports tabular models at the 1200 compatibility level. DirectQuery, partitions, row-level security, bi-directional relationships, and translations are all supported. To learn more and give it a try for free, see Azure Analysis Services.
Server mode
When installing Analysis Services by using SQL Server 2016 Setup, during configuration you specify a server mode for that instance. Each mode includes different features unique to a particular Analysis Services solution.
Multidimensional and Data Mining Mode - Implement OLAP modeling constructs (cubes, dimensions, measures).
Tabular Mode - Implement in-memory relational data modeling constructs (model, tables, columns).
Tabular models can be created at the default compatibility level 1200; using the latest functionality, or at the older 1103 compatibility level. There are significant differences between compatibility levels. See Compatibility Level for Tabular models in Analysis Services for information on how the levels compare.
Power Pivot Mode - Implement Power Pivot and Excel data models in SharePoint ( Power Pivot for SharePoint is a middle-tier data engine that loads, queries, and refreshes data models hosted in SharePoint).
A single instance can be configured with only one mode, and cannot be changed later. You can install multiple instances with different modes on the same server, but you'll need to run Setup and specify configuration settings for each instance.
Analysis Services features vary by edition. For more information, see Editions and Supported Features for SQL Server 2016
Authoring solutions
To create a model, you use SQL Server Data Tools (see Tools and applications used in Analysis Services), choosing either a Tabular or Multidimensional and Data Mining project template. The project template contains folders for all of the objects needed in a model. Wizards help create many of the basic elements, such as data sources, data source views, dimensions, cubes, and roles.

Development of continuous-type, i.e. unconventional, hydrocarbon accumulations inarguably has transformed the energy outlook of Canada and the United States.
Now, the future of European and global energy markets may be determined by the extent to which these type accumulations can be developed outside North America, according to AAPG member Don Gautier, a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist in Menlo Park, Calif.
The USGS is hard at work to nail down an estimate.
In cooperation with European geoscience organizations, the agency kicked off a program in October 2010 to assess potential additions to reserves from continuous-type gas and oil accumulations in fine-grained rocks of Europe.
The initiative is part of the World Petroleum Project funded by the United States for a number of years via an Act of Congress. The entity provides information/advice to the president, Congress, DOI and the public at large about global resource potential.
"It's seen as in our political interest to have somebody commenting objectively and scientifically about future resources that might be available," said Gautier, who serves as principal investigator for the World Petroleum Project.
"We have limited staff and budget," Gautier said, "so we have to sort of choose our battles and try to prioritize and do what we think in our scientific judgment are the most urgent and important."
Examples of the agency's efforts include a world petroleum assessment published in 2000, which provided an estimate of the world's undiscovered conventional oil and gas. The results of a study of the Circum-Arctic resource potential were published two years ago.
"Our point of view is that one of the most important things we should be working on now is trying to form a solid scientific opinion about the potential for additions to reserves worldwide from unconventional, or continuous-type, resources," Gautier emphasized. "One of the most important and urgent of those is global shale gas and also the tight gas sands and coalbed methane.
"Part of that global study of unconventional resources is this assessment of shale gas," he noted, "and, in particular, our strategy for assessment of potential additional reserves from unconventional resources in Europe."
When compared to conventional reservoirs, continuous type accumulations in mudstones are a whole different breed of cat, in that they:
The planned strategy for the current project entails the use of North American analogs, attempting to use results of drilling and exploration development of these types of resources in the United States and Canada.
The USGS is seeking the best local geological expertise available within the collaborating European geoscience organizations that would have the most advanced information locally. The agency is optimistic the groups will think it is in their best interests to use the methodology and analogues from North America along with their local geological expertise to help define plays to be used in the assessment.
Drawing on the geological circumstances and well performance observed in analogous North American gas shales, the USGS has developed a probabilistic, geology-based methodology to evaluate the potential for technically recoverable hydrocarbons in continuous accumulations in Europe, according to Gautier.
He noted that instead of calculating in-place resources and estimating recovery efficiencies, the current USGS methodology is performance-based.
"Candidate formations are screened for particular geological criteria, and geologically defined assessment units (AUs) are specified," Gautier said. "Potential additions to reserves in each AU are evaluated using four input distributions:
"The four distributions are combined in a Monte Carlo simulation that yields a probability density of recoverable resources that can be further evaluated for resource/cost relationships," Gautier said.
"The important thing is using our methodology and North American experience to make a scientifically, geologically based consistent set of estimates for potential for shale gas and other unconventional resources in Europe and elsewhere in the world," Gautier commented.
"That's the essence of it."

Without Crosby, Penguins no match for Theodore in 4-0 loss to the Wild

Without Crosby, Penguins no match for Theodore in 4-0 loss to the Wild
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Few goalies have shut down the Pittsburgh Penguins as often as Jose Theodore. Facing them without Sidney Crosby made this win that much easier.
Theodore made 26 saves for his 30th career shutout as the Minnesota Wild shut down the Crosby-less Penguins 4-0 on Saturday night.
Theodore improved 19-4-3 all-time against Pittsburgh.
Theodore, 17-1-3 in his past 21 starts against Pittsburgh, has won each of the past four games in leading Minnesota to a season-high winning streak while starter Niklas Backstrom is out with a groin injury.
"Right now, we are rolling with him," Minnesota coach Todd Richards said. "He is on top of his game."
Chuck Kobasew, Martin Havlat, Cal Clutterbuck and Kyle Brodziak scored for the Wild, who is on a 8-2-1 stretch and has won three straight road games for the first time since the start of the 2008-09 season.
The Wild are 9-2-1 against the Penguins. Minnesota has won six of seven games in Pittsburgh, having never allowed more than two goals in a game there.
Crosby missed his second straight game because of a concussion, and the NHL's leading scorer isn't expected to play Monday against Boston or Wednesday at Montreal. Pittsburgh is 21-12-8 in games Crosby has sat out and has won only one of seven games this season in which he didn't play or didn't record a point.
"Obviously we miss the best player in the game right now," Penguins winger Pascal Dupuis said. "But I think we have a pretty deep team. We've just got to chip in, me included."
Theodore saved a shot from in close by Evgeni Malkin five minutes in. He also made a nice stop on Arron Asham early in the third. But without Crosby, Pittsburgh didn't test him much beyond that and was shut out for the second time this season.
"I sensed a frustrated group over on the other side," Richards said.
The Penguins have lost four of five and are 5-5-2 since having a 12-game winning streak snapped.
"It happens to every team, I guess," defenceman Kris Letang said. "We just haven't played our game since the first loss after our streak. We just need to get back to our game and work harder and play better.
"We didn't create anything tonight," Letang added. "It's tough to score goals when you don't create."
According to STATS LLC., since New Jersey's Martin Brodeur entered the NHL in 1991-92, he is the only goalie with more wins against the Penguins (40) than Theodore. Only Patrick Lalime (2.27) has a better goals-against average in that time against Pittsburgh than Theodore's 2.32.
"It's just one of those things; you know there's buildings and teams you have more success against," said Theodore, whose shutout was his first of the season.
"It's just a team that, maybe playing against (Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux) when I was in Montreal was always a big challenge for me, and the rivalry when I was with Washington, it was always a big game," he said. "So I don't know, it's just obviously fun to see."
Kobasew gave the Wild a 1-0 lead with 6:37 left in the first when a shot by Mikko Koivu deflected off his body and into the net while he stood just in front of goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Havlat made it 2-0 just 4:43 later. Brodziak won a faceoff in the Penguins end, and Pierre-Marc Bouchard took a shot. Havlat beat the Pittsburgh defence to the rebound and fired a shot between Fleury's legs.
Pittsburgh defenceman Zbynek Michalek hit the post with a slapshot from the point three minutes into the third, and Asham was denied by Theodore on an open shot from the right circle three minutes later.
Seconds after that, Clutterbuck beat Fleury with a similar shot from a similar spot on the opposite end of the ice. Clutterbuck had struggled off the ice after blocking a Paul Martin shot off his calf later in the second period.
The Penguins pulled Fleury during a 4-on-4 situation with 3:20 to play. Soon after the faceoff in the Wild zone, Brodziak iced the game when he flipped a puck from his own end that slowly trickled into the empty net to make it 4-0 with 2:59 left.
"We're playing so well, boxing out so I can see the puck, and when you can see those pucks, you can control rebounds so there's no second shots," Theodore said. "Right now we're all in sync in our own zone, from the defence and the goalie to the forwards."
NOTES: It was the first shutout at new Consol Energy Center. ... The Penguins lost in regulation for only the third time in 16 home games. ... The Wild have not allowed a power-play goal in five games.

Welcome to the Titus County TXGenWeb
This site is a part of The TXGenWeb project and The USGenWeb project devoted solely to the genealogy and history of Titus County. My name is Christina Palmer (My Bio) and I am the County Coordinator for this county and I hope that you will find these pages helpful in your search for your ancestors in Titus County.
Please Note that this is an all volunteer project and that we can use all the help we can get. If you can help in any way (even a little), please E-mail me. Volunteers are always needed and welcome. Without you, the site will not grow as it should.
Titus County was named for pioneer resident Andrew Jackson Titus (1814-1855), the man who opened the county's first road to the river port in Jefferson.
The Caddo Indians were one of the first to appreciate the beauty of this area, for it was here that they made their home. Village sites and burial grounds have been located in numerous places in the county; on Ripley Creek, Harts Creek, Blundell Creek, Swannano Creek, and at Dellwood Park. Titus County was, perhaps, the last home of Indians in the Northeast Texas area, living here as late as 1845.
In the heart of Northeast Texas is the town of Mount Pleasant, founded May 11, 1848. John Binion, Sr., Richard Moore, and L. Gilbert laid off a forty-eight block town site to serve as county seat for Titus County, which was created by a legislative act on May 11, 1846. Until after the Civil War, Titus County also included present-day Franklin and Morris Counties. High waters along the creeks and the Sulphur River often halted travel in the early years. Record time to haul cotton to Jefferson was 5 days by ox wagon.
Please enjoy your visit to Northeast Texas and Titus County. We hope you find all you wish for in your genealogical endeavors.

The judge hearing the case against the Douglas County School District's voucher program dealt a blow to the plaintiffs in the court's first hours, elevating their burden of proof in their effort to stop the district's school choice scholarships.
Following opening statements from both sides, Denver District Court Judge Michael Martinez announced plaintiffs in the case of Larue v. the Douglas County School District must present compelling evidence to undo actions already taken by the school district to create Colorado's first voucher program.
The injunction being sought was not preliminary in nature, Martinez said, and plaintiffs would have to meet the burden of proof to seek a mandatory injunction.
A mandatory injunction sets a higher standard for the plaintiffs and would have a more far reaching impact, said Michael Bindas, lead attorney for the Institute for Justice, which represents parents who intervened in the case to side as defendants with the Douglas County School District.
While a preliminary injunction seeks to prevent an action from moving forward, a mandatory injunction must present a persuasive argument to "undo what's been done," Bindas said.
"(Martinez) is saying the plaintiff is really asking for final resolution," Bindas said. "The burden is much higher. It's much more difficult to persuade the court to reverse a process that has already begun."
Opening arguments began Aug. 2 in the preliminary injunction for Larue v. the Douglas County School District by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union and a local taxpayers group who seek to halt the district's school choice scholarship program until its merits can be heard in a trial. If approved, an injunction would put a stop to the program already in place for the coming school year.
The Douglas County School District board of education approved the scholarship program in March, paving the way to distribute choice scholarships to 500 students within the district. The scholarships are being compared to school vouchers, amount to 75 percent of participating students' state-issued per-pupil funding and will divert nearly $3 million in public funding to private schools, including religious institutions.
Court testimony disclosed the district originally intended to begin distributing scholarships in September but instead began issuing checks around the beginning of July. The lawsuits challenging the program were filed in late June and the preliminary injunction was filed at about the same time the district began sending scholarships to its private partner schools.
By the time the court began hearing arguments in the case, the district had distributed more than $208,000 in school choice scholarships, said Randy Barber, Douglas County School District media and events director.
In their opening arguments, defense attorneys argued the scholarship families and participating private schools have made education choices and investments that relied on the issuance of the scholarships. To put a stop to the program would place an undue hardship on the players involved.
"The court is required to balance the hardships," said Jim Lyons, representing the school district. "By sitting on their own rights they allowed the status quo to change."
On the first day of the hearing, Martinez heard testimony from four plaintiff witnesses, including two district parents whose involvement in the district began when their now-teenage children began elementary school. Kevin Leung, who was appointed to the school's district accountability committee and in 2009 made an unsuccessful bid for a seat on the school board, testified about the unfolding events that led to the launch of the program.
Among the events was an early June request by the school board for a review of a School Choice charter school. All charter school applications are reviewed by the district accountability committee before going before the school board for final approval, Leung said. That review typically takes several weeks.
In the case of the choice charter application, the committee was given 48 hours to review the application, Leung said. The formation of a choice charter school, which has no building, staff or teachers but acts as an administrator for the state-issued school funding, was at the heart of much of the first day's testimony.
"We cannot afford to take money we do not have to fund a private school education," Leung said. "Those parents clearly have the resources if they choose to send (their children) there. For every single student taken out of public school we are going to have to lay off teachers and downsize because we have fewer students. The school district is trying to take money out of the public school system and it's hurting us."
The mandatory injunction hearing is expected to last three days. For updates from the court room, follow us at twitter.com/rhondamoorenews.

After years of hanging our Christmas lights on the vinyl windows in my home I have found a great way to install them.
You will need a few supplies, 1. A tape measure (not pictured here). 2. ½ inch Scotch double sided tape. 3. Metal shears or Hacksaw. 4. Plastic panel ...
Measure your window length and width and cut your trim pieces. I tend to cut them short on the corners to make the installation easier.
Put the tape on the back of the trim and attach them to the glass right up against the vinyl frame.
You can cut the trim around the locks.
Install the lights by pushing the wire into the molding. Starting at the bottom right or left corner, working your way up to the top of the windows. ...
This molding does not interfere with the operation of the window once the lights are removed. The lights are easily removed by simply pull the light string out. ...
