The girlshealth.gov website is a project of the Office on Women's Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We have created the girlshealth.gov site to help girls (ages 10-16) learn more about health, growing up, and the issues they may face. This section provides resources and links to helpful information for parents and caregivers of girls. These resources will help you prepare to deal with some of the issues your girls will likely face as they grow up. The links to online resources are organized by topic, just as they appear on girlshealth.gov.

How you can help the young women in your life top
The teen years are an exciting time, but these years can also be filled with worry and struggle. Parents really matter to teens, even if teens don't always act like it. They need your love, guidance, and support each day to help them become secure, healthy, and happy young women.
You can help your daughter through these years. Build a relationship with her that includes trust, honesty, open lines of communication, and setting limits.
With the busy lives we lead today — how can you do this?
- Spend time with your daughter.
- Be a good role model for your daughter. Eat right, exercise, deal with stress in healthy ways, and don't use drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes.
- Try to find a good balance between work and fun in your own life. This will show your daughter that she can have balance in her life.
- Teach her good values and a sense of responsibility. Then trust her to make good choices.
- Set rules and stick with them. Setting and enforcing fair rules can help girls avoid social settings where they may run into peer pressure they can't handle.
It's normal for a teen to want to try new things. When your daughter is angry with you, she may rebel by making poor choices. Turn her mistakes into lessons, show her you still love her, and point out the good things she does. Teach her not to be ashamed of having a problem with stress, grades, weight, drugs, or alcohol. Learn about teen depression, suicide, alcohol, bullying, and drug abuse. Use the resources in this section to find out what you can do as a parent.
Even though you might feel upset and tired at times, everything you do will make a difference in your daughter's life…and at some point down the road, she will thank you!

The piñata was invented in China!
Although the piñata is most commonly associated with Mexico, it is actually believed to have originated in China! It was most commonly in the shape of a cow or ox and almost exclusively used for New Years celebrations. The piñata was originally not filled with candy, but with seeds to ensure a good climate for the new year's growing season.
Once the festivities began, the piñata would be struck until the seeds fell, and once it was empty the seeds would be burnt and the ashes kept, ensuring good luck. When exactly did the piñata become Mexican? It actually took several steps.
Piñatas arrived in Europe in the 1300's and were used for Lenten celebrations, although these were different from their Chinese cousins. They were simply clay pots that were decorated and got their name from the Italian word, "pignatta" meaning "fragile pot."
The piñata arrived in Mexico in the 16th century. Here the monks from Spain introduced the custom, yet adopted a similar Aztec tradition of covering the eyes of the one making an offering to a god. Thus, the blindfold was introduced, and since then not a whole lot has changed!

The Tuftybushe Fruitcakes (Kapouille, Hal) 1-1 Barebone Bareboners (Skydancer, Khe)
Nice eventful match (as usual with halflings), where khemri were outbashed by the treemen big time in the first drive, both of them evading rooting the whole time and letting the halflings score in the last turn because of simple lack of players on the khemri side. The second half saw the treemen finally rooting down to their initial spot on the LOS, with an abundance of tender halfling meat around them which, during the drive, were smashed to bits by a couple mummies and some skellies limping around the now useless treemen of the apocalypse, in a conveyor belt of 3 dice block fashion. Meanwhile the sides got overrun by the rest of the khemri team, a treeman tried to throw a ball carrying halfling which landed by my throra safety falling the AG roll and getting stunned. Promptly the throra grabbed the ball and ran up the right side; due to the mispositioning of a mummy and the throra being next to the sideline, a lucky ass halfling managed to triple dodge out of my 4 player screen and 2 dice against pushed the throra out of the match. Ball landed up the pitch right next to a blitzra that was ready to get a possible handoff, which scored, thus ending the bloodbath.
A couple major injuries (a -ST on a 5 spp skellie.. argh, and a -AR on a halfling), a MNG and little more, ended the match with no side losing bad to the other.

Top Five Television Characters That Were former Athletes
Nothing's better than a former high school or pro athlete who will never get past his glory days. And it's always fun to hear their stories. That same person, same character is great to see on television as well.
While we've seen a fair amount of characters on television that reference their past athletic achievements, (hell even Patrick Duffy did it on Step By Step), these five are my favorites.
5. George Papadopolis – Webster (played by Alex Karras)
Oddly enough Karras was a real football player for the Detroit Lions. You might remember him in the movie Blazing Saddles where he played Mongo. In Webster however you see his softer side as the adoptive father of a child whose parents were killed. He played a former football star on the show. I just really like the name Papadopolis.
4. Cliff Huxtable – The Cosby Show (played by Bill Cosby)
While we all know the lovable Dr. Huxtable as a tough and hilarious family man (not to mention the uncoachable sweaters), the show always referenced his past athletic stories. The big three were basketball, football, and of course track. In fact one of my favorite episodes has Cliff practicing in Draddy Gymnasium with Theo for a track race. I believe that same race he wound up losing to a woman. You gotta love Cliffy.
3. Tony Maselli – Who's the Boss (played by Tony Danza)
While Danza was a real life boxer before becoming an actor, it was the baseball career of his character Tony Maselli that got the attention on the show. Maselli was a former second baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals and there was even an entire episode that he dreams of what life would have been like if he had stayed a ballplayer. I particularly like the softball episode where he spits into Angela's hand.
2. Sam "Mayday" Malone – Cheers (played by Ted Danson)
You may be wondering how this is number two and not one. It's pretty tough to find an episode of Cheers that doesn't reference Malone's crappy pitching for the Red Sox at least once. There are too many moments to remember on that show but let's just say the girl chasing, smooth talking has been character was one of the best in television history.
1. Al Bundy – Married With Children (played by Ed O'Neil)
There is no arguing with 4 TD's for Polk High.
*Honorable mention to Hanging with Mr. Cooper (and yes that was a joke).

No deal: USNH needs real reform
The University System of New Hampshire is operating on a budget that has $50 million a year (48 percent) less in state aid than it had just two years ago. To get that money back, it has offered a deal. Alas, it is a bad deal.
As Pamela Diamantis, vice chairman of the board of trustees, told state elected officials on Monday: "With full funding, we will freeze tuition, nearly double financial aid and continue to develop partnerships with employers and the community college system to implement innovative paths to degree completion." That is a paltry offering legislators should reject out of hand.
The tuition freeze is for only two years. Why would taxpayers commit $100 million for a two-year tuition freeze when state community colleges had their state aid cut and still froze tuition?
Partnerships with businesses and community colleges bring in revenue. Universities will pursue them anyway.
Doubling financial aid sounds compassionate. But it allows colleges to justify keeping their sticker prices inflated.
Any restoration of state funding should be contingent upon substantial operating cost reductions and reforms that make the USNH system more competitive, not on feel-good measures designed to avoid deeper changes.

VINTAGE: 'Sweetest LeMon' To Lead Tour
A 1970 Subaru 360 done up like a taxi will head the parade of 50 oddball cars in the second annual Tour of LeMons during Monterey Classic Car Week.

More than 50 oddball cars participating in Hagerty's Tour of LeMons in northern California on August 18 will be led by a 1970 Subaru 360 Deluxe sedan owned by Mindy Kindelberger of Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
Kindelberger won the opportunity after receiving more than 30 percent of votes in Hagerty's second annual Search for America's Sweetest LeMon contest. She and her Subaru, dubbed "Lil Cab," will lead the tour as it departs Laguna Grande Park in Seaside, Calif., at 10 a.m.
"Everyone in our hometown of Lake Havasu knows me for my car. People honk, take pictures and wave to me all the time," Kindelberger says. "My husband and I both love collecting cars, especially the oddballs, which are the ones that always get the most attention."
Hagerty, the world's leading insurer of classic cars, held the contest to find America's favorite eccentric automobile. Each owners of a unique vehicle submitted photos of the car and a brief description of why it deserved to win. The top 10 candidates were posted for public vote on Hagerty.com, with the winner receiving an all-expense-paid trip to Hagerty's Tour of LeMons.
The Tour of LeMons gives owners and enthusiasts a chance to enjoy lesser-celebrated vehicles as a counterpoint to the popular and prestigious automotive events that make up Monterey Classic Car Week every August.
"Regardless of vehicle type, the passion for automobiles is the one thing that ties all classic car enthusiasts together," said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. "The Tour of LeMons is a way to celebrate the unique cars that otherwise would not typically be honored."

Congress is considering the IRS' power to estimate tip income.
PAPERWORK: IRS Form 8027 requires many restaurants to disclose credit card receipts and tips, among other figures. |
DISCLOSURE: Under EmTRAC, employers must set up formal tip reporting procedures. |
Should the Internal Revenue Service be permitted to estimate the amount of tips workers receive, thus allowing the agency collect income taxes on those amounts? The U.S. Supreme Court said "yes," but federal lawmakers aren't quite as certain. The House Ways and Means Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight recently criticized the IRS's enforcement of tip income reporting, and legislation has been proposed to halt the practice.
Tips received by restaurant employees may be gratuities, but they are definitely not "gifts" in the eyes of the ever-vigilant IRS. Tips received by any employee are taxable income and are treated as employer-provided wages for withholding tax purposes.
In 2002, the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Fior D'Italia, Inc. that the IRS may determine (on an aggregate basis) and assess against the employer the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) tax on tips that employees did not report to the employer. In response to that ruling, U.S. Rep. Wally Herger introduced a bill last year that would prevent the IRS from estimating tip income for tax collection purposes. That bill now has 21 sponsors but remains in limbo.
The Current Law
Cash tips paid directly to an employee by a customer as well as tips paid over to the employee for charge customers must be accounted for by the employee in a written statement. What's more, that written statement must be furnished to the employer on or before the 10th day of the month following the month when the tips are received. The employee reports the tips on Form 4070, "Employee's Report of Tips to Employer" or on a similar statement.These tips are subject to withholding. The only tips that the employer must report on Form W-2, however, are those that the employee reports.
Large food and beverage establishments (defined as those with more than 10 employees on a typical business day and in which tipping is customary) are required to inform the government about tip income reported to them by their employees. They must file annual information returns (Form 8027). These returns report gross food and beverage sales receipts, employee-reported tip income, total charge receipts and total charge tips.
To ensure that it gets its share, the government has decided that eight percent of a restaurant's gross receipts is a fair percentage to allocate to tips. If it can be shown that average tips are not eight percent of gross sales, the employer or a majority of its employees may apply to the IRS to have the allocation reduced below eight percent but not to below two percent.
Large employers must allocate among their employees who customarily receive tips an amount equal to the excess of eight percent of gross receipts over reported tips. This allocation is not required if employees voluntarily report total tips equalling at least eight percent of gross sales.
Tip Agreements
In 1993, the IRS introduced its Tip Rate Determination/ Education Program (TRD/EP), designed to enhance tax compliance among tipped employees using education and voluntary advance agreements instead of relying on traditional audit techniques. The TRD/EP allows employers to enter into one of two types of agreements: the Tip Rate Determination Agreement (TRDA) or the Tip-Reporting Alternative Commitment (TRAC).
The TRDA requires that employees have a Tipped Employee Participation Agreement (TEPA) with the employer. With a TRDA, the IRS works with the establishment to arrive at a tip rate for the various restaurant occupations. At least 75 percent of employees must sign the TEPA and report tips received at or above the rate determined to be appropriate for that occupation. Under TRDA, if employees fail to report tips received at or above that predetermined rate, the employer is required to provide the IRS with the names of those employees, their social security numbers, job classification, sales, hours worked and amount of tips reported.
The TRAC alternative does not require the employer to establish tip rates, nor does it require employee participation agreements. In this program, the employer agrees to institute and maintain a quarterly education program for all directly and indirectly tipped employees. The employer must also agree to establish formal tip reporting procedures as outlined by the IRS. Employers assume responsibility for having their employees report tips, and the IRS agrees not to assess the business employment taxes on unreported tips unless the employees are audited first. This method is available for food and beverage employees only.
In 2000, the IRS introduced a modified version of the TRAC, the Employer-Designed Tip Reporting Alternative Commitment (EmTRAC), available only to employers in the food and beverage industry that have employees who receive both cash and charged tips. EmTRAC retains many of the provsions contained in the TRAC agreement. The employer must, for instance, establish an educational program to explain how the law requires employees to report all their cash and charged tips to their employer. The educational program must be furnished to newly hired employees and repeated each quarter for existing employees. The EmTRAC program provides an employer with significant latitude in designing an educational program and tip reporting procedures.
The Court Decision
On June 17, 2002, the Supreme Court ruled that the IRS may legitimately determine (on an aggregate basis) and assess against the employer the FICA tax on tips that the employee did not report to the employer. In essence, the Supreme Court case reaffirmed the IRS's authority to assess employer FICA taxes on unreported tip income without having to audit the individual employee.
The restaurant in the case argued that the IRS was not authorized to use this method of aggregate estimating; instead, the restaurant argued that the IRS was required to develop individual estimates for each employee's tip income to calculate the total FICA liability of the employer. The Supreme Court, however, decided that the IRS was clearly authorized to estimate FICA tax liability and found that the restaurant failed to show that the method the IRS used to estimate such liability was unreasonable.
Current law provides a unique tax credit equal to an employer's FICA tax obligation (7.65 percent) attributable to certain tips treated as paid by the employer for FICA tax purposes (regardless of whether the tips are reported). The credit is available only on "tips received from customers in connection with the providing, delivering or serving of food or beverages for consumption if the tipping of employees receiving such tips is customary."
Employers use Form 8846 to claim the Section 45B credit. The credit applies to employer FICA tax on tips received in excess of the tips "deemed paid" by the employer for purposes of satisfying the minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The credit is available whether the tips were reported to the employer or not. Thus, it is available for employer FICA tax paid under an IRS assessment.
Because it is a general business tax credit, it is claimed on the income tax return to offset any income tax liability—but not employment tax liability. Naturally, the deduction for FICA taxes must be reduced by the amount of this credit.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision that allowed employers to be held liable for the payroll taxes due on employees' unreported tip income, several bills have been introduced in Congress. H.R. 2034 prohibits the Secretary of the Treasury from issuing a notice and demand to an employer for FICA taxes with respect to tips received by an employee until the amount of tips has been resolved.
Another proposed bill, H.R. 118, would require the Internal Revenue Code to be applied, ignoring the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Fior D'Italia Inc.
Although the tax laws and even the IRS's own policy manuals prohibit the threat of an audit to coerce taxpayers into signing a tip reporting agreement, participation is motivated because of the audit protection these agreements provide.
Obviously, the IRS does not have the resources to audit the thousands of tipped employees who fail to report all of their tip income. Now the IRS has the Fior d'Italia decision allowing it to go after the employers of those tipped employees—unless legislation emerges to prevent that.

Rio de Janeiro - Goals on either side of the break from Santiago Silva and Juan Sanchez Mino gave Argentine club Boca Juniors a 2-0 victory over Universidad de Chile in their Copa Libertadores first leg semifinal.
Silva opened the scoring on 15 minutes at the Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires with a neat turn and finish after Pablo Moucho's cross Thursday.
Nine minutes into the second half Universidad goalkeeper Johnny Herrera saved a Walter Erviti shot from close range only for Mino to bundle in the rebound, reported Xinhua.
The teams will meet in the second leg in Santiago next Thursday with the aggregate winner advancing to the final against the victor of the other semi-final between Corinthians and Santos.
Corinthians won the first leg 1-0 away from home, with the return match to be played at the Pacaembu Stadium in Sao Paulo Wednesday.

Update: Driver in Deadly Hit and Run Accident Due in Court Friday
By: Deedra Wilson
Updated: September 14, 2012
Authorities say, the man accused of a hit and run accident, that killed a
12-year-old boy, will be charged with negligent homicide while
intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident, Friday morning.
And as school gets ready to start, staff and students in the Greenbrier district are mourning the loss of Garrett Martin.
"It's a tragic situation for the school," said Superintendent Scott Spainhour.
Thursday morning staff of Wooster Elementary in Faulkner County, where 12-year-old Martin attended school last year, held a vigil in his honor.
"And prayed and shared things about Garrett," said Spainhour.
Martin would have started the 6th grade at Greenbrier Middle School on Monday.
But his life, was cut short after Faulkner County Sheriff's say around 5:30 Wednesday evening, 27-year-old Michael Fowler, hit Garrett while the boy was driving an ATV near Wooster.
Investigators say, Fowler kept driving and at some point one of the two men with him called 9-1-1.
The two passengers were brought in as well, questioned and released.
Staff and students at Greenbrier Middle School will be starting the year with one less panther, Spainhour said,
"We're going to have to be able to provide some nurturing to those students who were friends with Garrett."

National Endowment for the Arts and Embassy of Spain
Contact: |
Washington, DC -- A 2007 partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts and the Embassy of Spain has resulted in the English translation and publication of Unai Elorriaga's Basque novel, Plants Don't Drink Coffee. Published by Archipelago Books, the new work translated by Amaia Gabantxo will be presented at an event on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 6:30 pm at Inter-American Development Bank's Enrique V. Iglesias Conference Center (1330 New York Avenue NW). This event marks the Embassy's launch of its cultural program during Spain's presidency of the European Union: PREVIEW SPAIN Arts&Culture10. It is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required. Please respond to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Unai Elorriaga and Amaia Gabantxo will read short excerpts from the novel in Basque and English, followed by a discussion with the audience. The event will conclude with a book signing and reception.
Plants Don't Drink Coffee follows young Tomas and three generations of his family in the Bilbao region of Spain on their odd adventures, stumbling upon a host of small wonders that open our eyes to the bounty of tiny marvels that make up our world. Told from four different perspectives, the novel flips on their heads standard assumptions about age, wisdom, sensibility, and truth.
This project helps provide American readers with greater access to quality foreign literary work in translation. The reading at the Inter-American Development Bank is part of a five-city book tour to New York City, Washington, DC, Memphis, Reno, and Boston.
Unai Elorriaga was born in 1973 in Bilbao, where he is currently a professor at the Instituto Labairu. He is the author of three novels written in Basque and self-translated into Spanish, including Van't Hoffen ilea (Van't Hoff's Hair), and his 2002 debut, SPrako Tranbia (A Tram to SP), winner of Spain's prestigious Premio Nacional de Narrativa. Elorriaga's numerous anthologized short stories have also been widely acclaimed.
Amaia Gabantxo is a literary translator, writer, and book critic. Her work has appeared in a variety of journals and newspapers, including the Times Literary Supplement and The Independent. Her translation of Anjel Lertxundi's Perfect Happiness was released by the University of Nevada Press in 2007. She moonlights as a flamenco singer.
The Embassy of Spain, together with the Spain-USA Foundation, is pleased to present the third annual edition of PREVIEW SPAIN Arts&Culture to celebrate the Spanish Presidency of the European Union during the first semester of 2010, in partnership with numerous US and Spanish institutions.
PREVIEW SPAIN Arts&Culture was introduced in 2008 to generate awareness in the Washington area of contemporary trends from Spain, highlighting its cultural heritage. This annual programs is produced in anticipation of the 2012 opening of SPAIN/US HOUSE in DC, a venue for the promotion and strengthening of Spanish and US relations, with special outreach to America's Hispanic communities.
The National Endowment for the Arts is a public agency dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts, both new and established, bringing the arts to all Americans, and providing leadership in arts education. Established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government, the Arts Endowment is the nation's largest annual funder of the arts, bringing great art to all 50 states, including rural areas, inner cities, and military bases. For more information, please visit www.arts.gov.

Lecturers, course leaders, trainers, mentors and managers in post-16 education are enthusiastically embracing proven effective teaching strategies with renewed vigour, following the launch of a Teachers' Toolbox at the first interactive conference in Wales to focus exclusively on raising the quality of teaching and learning in post-16 education held on Friday 30 March.
Organised by ColegauCymru with the support of the Welsh Government, the Teaching and Learning Conference drew over 230 delegates from a spectrum of post-16 education providers, including all of Wales' further education colleges, as well as a number from work-based learning and community learning.
Led by Geoff Petty, author of the UK's best-selling teacher training text, delegates actively participated in highly effective teaching strategies. And in order to help share the theory and the best teaching practice more widely, ColegauCymru launched an online Teachers' Toolbox.
Chief Executive of ColegauCymru / CollegesWales, John Graystone, said: "Learners rely on excellent teaching to achieve success. Over recent years, colleges have consistently improved their quality profile. The college sector is good, very good, but there are still areas that can be improved. The Teaching and Learning Conference was the first to focus exclusively on teaching strategies and it's testament to the FE sector that all of Wales' further education colleges participated in the conference.
"Much of the positive feedback was touching and heartfelt, including this comment from a delegate which encapsulates the whole enterprise of teaching and learning: 'At the end of a Friday afternoon I was shattered but left very positive and eager to try out the strategies and share them with colleagues. I hope my learners leave my lessons feeling that they have learned as much as I have today and eager to follow their learning'.
"Teaching and learning are at the heart of what we do and inspired teachers and learners are what we want. It appears that we're on the right track.
"I very much hope that teachers and managers will draw on the support of ColegauCymru's Teachers' Toolbox to improve teaching. It is a valuable contribution to colleges' professional communities of learning and assists colleges and other training providers to share ideas and support each other through the continuous development of good practice.
"The end goal is for educators and managers to be able say with confidence and with hand on heart that we're doing our best for learners." --------------------------------------Ends-----------------------------------

The Housing Market: Have We Finally Hit Bottom?
By editor
Originally published on Mon September 10, 2012 12:51 pm
Following several years of decline, home prices are beginning to rebound in many regions of the country. Recent reports show fewer foreclosures in several of the hardest hit states. Many analysts believe it's safe to finally use the word "recovery."

New Age Records stands as one of the premiere hardcore labels in southern California. Established on a shoestring budget in 1988 by hardcore dignitary Mike Hartsfield, in attempts to give unknown hardcore bands with a message and sincerity a chance to get out of the garages and into studios. "The message is the music," says Hartsfield. The fuse was lit. Hardcore had an honesty and emotion that I just had to be a part of." The dream New Age Records was realized.
New Age Records steamrolled almost into a monopoly with every southern California band, not to mention worldwide hopefuls, beating down the door for a home at a "real" hardcore label. The New Age stable reads like a variable whos who of hardcore folk lore. Bands like Unbroken, the San Diego boys that helped harvest the hardcore/metal fusion. Outspoken, the positive straightedge kids responsible for coining the phrase "Straightedge isnt cool anymore So what!" A Chorus of Disapproval, the militant straightedge band that actually drove fear into a generation. Strife, the west coast heavyweights who mowed over what its predecessors left wanting more. New Age tightened its grip around the east coast as well with groups such as Lifetime, a band near and dear to the hearts of any fan of emotional styled hardcore. Turning Point, and Mouthpiece were the pride of east coast hardcore proper, with their driven views and endless aggression. Launching into 2000 it was Countervail, Amendment Eighteen & Red Tape leading the way. After a break from signing new bands it was time again to strengthen the New Age roster. Aftermath of a Trainwreck, Just Went Black, Countdown to Life, Hellfire Trigger, Five Victims Four Graves, Fight Everyone, This Time Tomorrow, all made the label a better place in the mid 2000's with amazing releases and shows to remember.The New Age Records tradition of excellence continues 21 years after its inception with the most recent additions of Today and Everything After, One Choice, Time For Change, Seven Generations, A Better Hope Foundation and Royal Monsters.
In a time where malls around the world have adopted "Hardcore" as catch phrase to increase the profit margin, at this place in time where "The Scene" is now just an inside joke, New Age Records still stands for real hardcore in a real scene.

Keith Lubrant - Searching For Signal
Album Details
- Artist: Keith Lubrant
- Album: Searching For Signal
- Label: Kool Kat Musik
- Year of Release: 2007
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: dscanland on 2007-04-04
Keith LuBrant is a New Jersey based singer/songwriter who likes to stick to the pop territory. His music is mostly guitar driven and when all is said and done, quite lush as well with the arrangements he chooses. Searching For Signal is Keith's follow up to 2001's Face In The Crowd. One thing that drew me to reviewing this album is the inclusion of Pete Donnelly (The Figgs) playing bass on several tracks.
This is my first exposure to LuBrant and for someone doing the Matthew Sweet thing, playing almost all instruments, he does a pretty decent job. Now, I'm not completely sold on the album. It does come off fairly generic. Keith does write decent pop hooks but take a song like 'Easier'. I can't help but feel like it's a little bland. But this is probably my biggest beef. The album opens up with the title track that is quite a large track. Best track though is the moody and dynamic "This Time Around". It screams to be played on the radio.
I don't know if it's the mastering or production in general but the recording seemed to lack a bit of sheen that would make LuBrant's songs pop a little more. They are good songs, solid songs, now Keith just needs to get the production down. I'll be watching for where he goes from here.

NBA star Lamar Odom is among thousands of Floridians tripped up this year when big banks and hedge funds became tax collectors. Bank of America billed Odom for overdue property taxes, plus thousands of dollars in interest and fees.
Odom's business manager says it was all a mix-up and the debt has since been paid, along with the bank's charges.
Many property owners may not know that 51 of Florida's 67 counties sold more than $1.6 billion of real estate tax debt earlier this year, mostly to banks and hedge funds. The investors, many of them titans of Wall Street, can tack on interest and fees of at least 5 percent.
In the case of Odom, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami-Dade County sold a $57,725 property tax lien on his $2.7 million home to an affiliate of Bank of America.
When the bank bought Odom's bill in June, the debt included $5,000 in fees assessed by Miami-Dade. The bank tacked on $2,886 more in interest, according to the county tax collector's office.
Brian Irvine, who manages Odom's business affairs, said the delay in sending the property tax payment stemmed from the county sending the bill to the wrong address.
Irvine expressed frustration over the process. "People want to make money however they can these days," he said.
Bank of America declined comment. A spokeswoman said the bank doesn't discuss its tax liens investments or individual debtors.
The Florida tax sale imperiled a wide range of real estate this year – some pricey, such as property in Key West just a few blocks from Ernest Hemingway's historic home and museum, sprawling homes in golfing retirement communities and even a few oceanfront buildings, tax sale records show.
Bank of America also bought liens on properties owned by nonprofit public interest organizations, such as a wildlife rescue group that has helped restore the health of birds befouled by oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, the country's largest wild bird hospital, had a more than $16,000 debt sold to Bank of America after it's funding dried up and it couldn't work out a repayment plan with the local tax collector.
"We called Pinellas County and asked to please make payment arrangements and they would not accept our good faith efforts," said Michelle Glean Simoneau, a spokeswoman for the sanctuary in Indian Shores, Fla.
Simoneau said she's angry at the process and at Bank of America. "We don't want any huge banking industry taking advantage of people or nonprofits like us that are struggling through this very difficult time," she said.
Bank of America purchased liens on other nonprofits such as a Salvation Army shelter, a building owned by the Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and a preschool in Lauderdale Lakes.
Phyl's Academy Preschools paid off a $13,587 debt to Broward County two weeks after Bank of America bought the bill. But the preschool still had to pay 7 percent interest – nearly $700 in additional charges, according to Broward County tax records.
Many low-income Floridians also had debts sold to Bank of America in this year's tax sale. Some homeowners contacted for this story said the process had left them confused and angry. Several said they had no idea that they had fallen into arrears on their taxes or that the debt had been sold to Bank of America.
"I was not aware of it," said Rosemary Knight, 65, a retired social worker who had a $589 tax bill sold to Bank of America in June. Knight has been out of work for the last 15 years, she said, because of diabetes, hypertension and kidney ailments.
Lily Grayson, 75, has lived alone in her Clearwater, Fla., home since her husband died in 2005. Grayson, a retired waitress, says she was unaware that Pinellas County sold a $692 lien on her home to an affiliate of Bank of America.
"I think it's terrible," that the banks are making money off of struggling homeowners, she said. "I'm not happy about it but what do you do?"
Julian Hattem and Peter Tartaglione contributed to this story.

(NEWSBUSTERS) During the midnight hour of MSNBC's Thursday night Democratic National Convention coverage, host Chris Matthews managed to squeeze in another charge of racism against a black President by "right wingers" as he brought up the birther movement and asserted:
But I got to tell you, the fact that he's black is the reason they're asking for his papers. It's so obvious. Doesn't anybody else get it?
As he interviewed DNC Chairwoman and New York Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and New York Rep. Joseph Crowley, Matthews raised the issue:
I think the legitimacy question hit me tonight. The President has to say, "I'm the President." The President of the United States has to show his documents because the right wingers demanded them. And yet, George Romney ran for President, having been born in Mexico, and John McCain was born in Panama — not the canal zone, Panama. And Barry Goldwater was born in the Arizona territory. And nobody ever said, "Where's your papers to prove you were born in the United States?"

When beginners are first taught to punch, they are taught to twist the fists and to pull one fist backward as the other is pushed forward. This motion is used to familiarize students with using equal and opposition reaction forces when using techniques. A question may be "Do the arms pull and push equally, or does one start or finish before the other?" This question is similar to a koan, a short and pithy but illogical statement used in meditation among Zen Buddhists, intended to free the mind from its rational mode of thought. For example, we know the sound of two hands clapping, but what is the sound of one hand clapping?
Most of us learned that the arms must start moving at the same time, move equally, and finish together, but is this true? While it does make learning the motion easier for beginning students, is this equal motion the best movement for more advanced students?
This punching koan does have an answer. For maximum power, the pulling arm starts first but finishes last. The pulling arm starts moving backward first so the reaction it generates will push the other arm, which starts moving at a higher acceleration than the pulling arm. At the higher acceleration rate, the punching arm reaches the target before the pulling arm gets all the way back so that the reaction force is still pushing the punching arm when it reaches it focus point.
What is the sound of one hand clapping? Silence!
