OAKLAND, California (Reuters) - California may reduce reimbursement rates for medical service providers in its state Medicaid program, a federal appeals court panel ruled on Thursday in a move that could improve the state's finances.
California's leaders last year cut Medi-Cal rates, which cover the state healthcare program's services for low-income residents, and the cuts were approved by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
"Congress explicitly granted the secretary authority to determine whether a state's Medicaid plan complies with federal law," a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said in its decision, overturning a lower court ruling that blocked the cuts last year.
Attorney Lynn Carman, who represents the Medicaid Defense Fund, said the court's decision was "totally without merit."
"If it's not set aside, it will totally destroy the Medi-Cal program," he said.
The decision came down weeks after voters approved Democratic Governor Jerry Brown's ballot measure to temporarily increase the state's sales tax and income tax rates on wealthy Californians.
Revenue from the tax increases are expected to help stabilize the state's finances in the near term and may help create state budget surpluses in coming years, according to the Legislative Analyst's Office, the state's budget watchdog.
A spokesman for Brown welcomed the ruling.
"Today's decision allows California to continue providing quality care for people on Medi-Cal while saving the state millions of dollars in unnecessary costs," spokesman Gareth Lacy said in a statement.
Carman said his non-profit group would ask for a review of the decision by the full 9th Circuit. If a review is denied, he said he expects to file an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Effect of surface preparation on the strength of FRP-to-mild steel and FRP-to-stainless steel joints
Document Type
Conference publication
Publication details
KIm, SJ, Smith, ST & Young, B 2010, 'Effect of surface preparation on the strength of FRP-to-mild steel and FRP-to-stainless steel joints', in L, Ye, P, Feng & Q, Yue (eds), Advances in FRP composites in civil engineering, Proceedings of the fifth International Conference on FRP Composites in Civil Engineering, CICE 2010, Beijing, China 27-29 September, Springer, New York, pp. 869-872. ISBN: 9783642174865
Published version available from:
A detailed understanding of the strength and behaviour of the bond between fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to metals is an ongoing field of research. The many different geometrical and material parameters make for extensive research demands. This paper in turn reports a series of tests on the shear strength and behaviour of FRP-to metal joints in which the main test parameters, which have received limited attention to date, consists of (i) type of metal (i.e. non-galvanised mild steel and stainless steel), and (ii) surface preparation technique (i.e. different mechanical abrasion methods). All specimens are loaded in displacement control which enables the failure process to be followed and identification of different failure modes to be made. The results enable the effectiveness of different surface preparation techniques upon the bond of FRP to different types of metals to be made.

Terms and conditions for the online sale of furniture
The following conditions of sale govern the sale of products online at www.arredodesignonline.com.
This is a distance contract under Article 50 and the Leg. Decree no. 206 dated 6 September 2005 (Consumer Code). The contract is for the sale of goods by the company A & D S.r.l. - Via Parrilla 7 - 31015 Conegliano (Treviso) – VAT Registration no. 04524990266 and the final consumer (named Customer ). Please note that any purchase on our site (www.arredodesignonline.com) implies the automatic acceptance of all the Terms of Sale. The General Conditions of Sale are subject to change and are operating from their publication on the website and are NOT retroactive and therefore are not applied to contracts entered into before the abovementioned date. In this regard you should read carefully before making any purchase.
Buy on Arredodesignonline
The contract is entered directly through the acceptance of an offer issued by the customer (the one who buys) or by telephone, or by e-mail or via the website www.arredodesignonline.com through the form order in which the client has the possibility to confirm the order he/she has placed by clicking on the button
The purchases of the products are made by the customer at the price indicated in the shopping cart at the time of submission of the confirmation order. The cart is shown with the unit cost of the product, and in the case of multiple products the total cost of the items purchased. For Italy, the price displayed is the final price, while for foreign countries, shipping costs are added that vary according to the destination and the volume of the goods. In order to proceed with the order, it is necessary for the customer to confirm the payment (partial or total) as only after receiving payment confirmation will we put the goods into production.
If the article chosen by the customer is not available, we will endeavour to immediately contact the customer to propose an alternative solution or, if this is not a viable option, we will proceed immediately to a refund. Once the order is completed, it is done in its entirety according to the rules dictated by our Terms and Conditions.
Any changes to orders can be made within 3 days from the order confirmation and in any case before the payment, which determines the start of production of the items ordered. Special exceptions may be accepted from time to time, handled by our Customer Service, and will be under warranty or not according to the progress of the order and the documentation produced.
In order to provide an up-to-date service , the company A & D reserves the right to update the website www.arredodesignonline.com , editing at any time without prior notice drawings, technical data, texts, descriptions, graphics, photographs, colours, and variations. Updates regarding also the availability of items, any changes related to the delivery times as well as prices and discounts are also possible.
Product Warranty
- All products sold by A & D S.r.l. are covered by the standard 24-month warranty for any lack of conformity, pursuant to the Legislative Decree no. 24/02. To use the warranty, the customer will have to keep the invoice or receipt and its transport document that he/she received with the purchased goods regularly receipted.
- The 24-month warranty under the Legislative Decree no. 24/02 applies to products that present a lack of conformity, provided they have been used correctly, respecting their intended use and as provided in the documentation. This warranty, in accordance with the Decree. No. 24/92, is reserved to the private consumer (a person who buys goods for purposes not related to his professional activities, or making a purchase by order form without indicating a reference to VAT). As for purchases made by people and companies with VAT, the law provides a 12-month warranty. In case of lack of conformity, A & D S.r.l is in charge of restoring compliance to the product by replacing it at no cost for the customer or by reducing the price, until the termination of the contract. If it does not result in a lack of conformity, pursuant to the Legislative Decree no. 24/02, the customer will be charged for any costs of verification, as well as transportation costs if incurred by A & D S.r.l. It is understood that in the case of replacement of one or more products, they must be properly packed in all their parts using the original packaging (where possible) and avoiding in all cases the attachment of labels or tape directly on the original product packaging. It is the customer's responsibility to avoid breakage or damage due to unsuitable packing.
- In cases in which, for any reason, A & D S.r.l. was not able to replace a warranted product (because it was discontinued, or already repaired or replaced), they could proceed, with the consent of the customer, to the replacement of the product itself (if still available) or to the replacement with another article of the same features and value. In the unfortunate event we are unable to reach an agreement, the company will proceed to issue a voucher for the same amount to spend on another product, valid for 6 months from the time of release.
- A & D S.r.l. will be required to issue no compensation for any delays in the replacement of products under warranty.
Delivery of the goods
For all products featured on the site www.arredodesignonline.com there are specified terms for the Delivery of goods: production times vary from a minimum of 15 days to a maximum of six weeks. The website also features the timeframe in which the customer will receive the product by adding the production time and the time needed for delivery, subordinate to order confirmation and full payment. However, there is a chance that deliveries planned in periods such as the Christmas or summer holidays may be delayed because of the lack of or delay in production on the part of the suppliers caused by the closing of the factories due to the festivities (in this case, however, the customer will be timely warned). This delay will not be considered valid cause to cancel or withdraw from an order as not directly attributable to the company A & D S.r.l.
Furthermore the production time declared is to be interpreted as predictions based on statistics of previous orders for the same type of product compared in each case to the individual needs of customization defined from time to time with the customer. In this case, the law provides an "additional period appropriate to the circumstances" within which any delay of production is considered "reasonable in the circumstances".
Before delivering the goods, A & D will warn the client and, if the latter does not place reservations as to his availability, the company will proceed to send the goods by courier. It is understood that the delivery will be performed only when, after the goods have been handed over , the company can confirm the full payment of the goods. In the event that the availability date provided by the client is not respected by the customer himself and the carrier is forced to make a return or keep the goods in stock, any extra costs incurred in will be charged to the customer . As for the mode of delivery, these vary according to the type of item purchased and the destination. Customers, if they so wish, are given the chance to pick up the goods at our warehouse benefiting from an additional discount. In this regard, please see the Pick-Up and Delivery section where we specify all of the various cases.
All the prices you see on our website are inclusive of VAT and transport within the Italian border, except for the smaller islands or difficult-to-reach locations where a small surcharge is applied (e.g. lakes). In this regard, please check the link to the Pick-Up and Delivery section for more details.
As for the cost of delivery to foreign countries, this will be visible in the basket under the heading "Estimated Shipping" and may vary depending on the destination, and the volume and weight of the goods.
Behaviour upon receipt of goods:
This point illustrates the behaviour that the customer has to have at the time of the delivery of the goods in order to enable us to protect him/her in the best possible way. A correct behaviour allows us to understand what has happened and to attribute the responsibility of any problems encountered at the time of delivery to the various parties involved.
In this case, at the time of delivery, during the assembly process or at the time immediately following the assembly itself, the customer is required to follow the detailed instructions that arredodesignonline describes in the Behaviour upon Delivery section so as to ensure full coverage and protection by our Customer Service. If this does not happen, if the instructions have not been scrupulously followed, it becomes very difficult if not impossible for us to attribute the exact responsibility of the damage and for this reason the client might be invited to participate in replacement costs. We emphasize therefore the importance of carefully reading each procedure and to put it in place in order to protect all parties and to allow us to protect every customer from problems that may occur with the products.
As for the timing in relation to having a replacement, we would like to remind you that our products are not stocked but made to order and therefore we require a timing equal or slightly inferior to that specified on the site for the production of the item itself.
Returns Policy
The company A & D S.r.l. guarantees the right of withdrawal for any reason from the purchase contract without incurring in penalties. To exercise this right you must send a registered letter and preferably also a fax to 0434 1692058, specifying the order number and which products you would like to have a refund for. All this must be done within 14 days of receiving the merchandise. (The period will be extended to the next business day if it ends on a weekend or public holiday).
The right of withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
- The right of withdrawal does not apply to purchased products and custom made to specifications or clearly personalized. The consumer cannot exercise the right of withdrawal "for goods not prefabricated, products based on a choice or individual decision of the consumer" (Directive 2011/83/ EU of the European Parliament) and for "goods made according to customer's specifications or clearly personalized" (art. 59 of the Legislative Decree 21/2014). To this end, we emphasize the high customization that characterizes most of the items displayed on the site arredodesignonline.com and made with manufacturing processes mainly on order from our suppliers.
- The purchased goods will have to be returned unused and undamaged, in their original packaging complete in all their parts (including packaging, documentation, and accessories), and it is better to avoid labels or tape on the original packaging of the product.
- The shipping costs for the return of the asset are charged to the customer.
- The shipping, until the certificate of receipt is in our warehouse, will be under the full responsibility of the customer. We are not liable in any way for damage or theft / loss of goods returned by uninsured shipments or not tracked (e.g. priority mail).
- If the goods are damaged during transport, it will be our care to give timely notice to the customer (within 5 working days from receipt of goods) to enable him/her to file a complaint against the carrier of his choice and to obtain reimbursement of the value of the property (if insured). In this case, the product will be made available to the client for his return, while cancelling the request for withdrawal.
- If the goods will be returned intact in all the points above it will be our care to repay the cost of the single commodity (no shipping charges) by bank transfer within 10 days of receipt of the returned item. Any dispute between the parties about the products should be handles by the competent court, which is that of the place of residence or domicile of the customer, if located in the country of execution of the contract.
The right of withdrawal will be lost due to the lack of integrity (packaging and / or its contents), if A & D S.r.l. notices:
- Missing external and / or internal packaging.
- Missing components (accessories, cables, manuals, parts, ...) or defects to the product itself.
- Damages to the product for reasons other than transportation.
- A state of filth of the product due to its use, which has compromised its integrity.
Our company declines any responsibility due to:
- Improper use of the product purchased
- Negligent use
- Incorrect installation or maintenance by unauthorized personnel
- Transportation damage, caused directly or indirectly to persons, property and pets due to the failure to follow all the instructions given and stated explicitly in the literature accompanying the product.

And the Walls Came Tumbling Down: The Secret Life of Senator Jack is a contemporary suspense novel involving political intrigue, seduction, wrong choices, and romance.
Jack and Joe Baker, twin boys, were born into a life of poverty.
Growing up in Cleveland's ghetto, with only their father to rear them, Joe and Jack were very different boys, but visual mirrors of one another. Surface similarities only seem to heighten the divergence of their chosen paths. Joe opted for a life of crime, while Jack entered the mainstream on an academic scholarship to a prestigious prep school and on to Yale University. Then fate deals one a hard hand, a tragedy occurs and their worlds collide in a way that forever changes their paths.
This "Cain and Abel" story describes a man willing to do anything to hold the most powerful office in the land. As the Harvard Law trained senator from Massachusetts gears toward getting in line for the Presidency, the ghosts of his past continue to haunt him—and a detective is determined to reveal his past.
From the seedy underbelly of crime life on the mean streets to the political and powerfully elite, one man's secret will reverberate throughout his life and set in motion a chain of events that will save or destroy him.
And the Walls Came Tumbling Down... encompasses the precariousness of family relationships. The story is a compassionate tale of how a tragic mistake can test the limits of a family's survival yet still reach the other side of forgiveness and redemption.
Even though I'm of a different culture, I connected to your writing on an emotional level. I shared your book with a friend of mine and she stayed up until 3 A.M. every night until she finished it! This is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. The characters are rich and unforgettable. I will remember them for ages. I was NOT able to put this book down. Trust me. You are the next Grisham or Clancy. Lisa Shasteen, President of Shasteen-Sizemore Co., FL

On April 16th, in the latest of a series of FREE webinars sponsored by ILFORD, Joe Brady discussed the workflow and techniques for creating stunning black and white prints, from capture to edit to print. If you are a fan of black and white images or interested in getting started, this presentation will be time well spent.
With the introduction of the latest fine art inkjet papers and in particular the ILFORD new GALERIE Prestige Gold Mono Silk Paper, black & white printing on today's inkjet printers has taken a great leap in quality.
To get the best results from these prints, you need to understand the tools available for converting full color captures into gray-scale images, understand how to adjust tonal distribution in an image and decide which type of paper will do the best job in conveying both the dynamic qualities of the photograph and the intended mood.
Just sit back and enjoy as Joe explains how it is done.

Available for the majority of Hi end headphones, please select from the dropdown box above
All headphone cables include:• 4 pin XLR (female) to 3.5mm stereo mini adapter• 4 pin XLR (female) to 1/4in (6.3mm) stereo phono adapter
Personal Audio has revolutionized the world of Hi-fi. Portability, convenience and the ability to listen to music discretely amongst neighbors are only a few reasons to embrace this relatively new offshoot of the consumer electronics industry. As music enthusiasts begin to amass personal audio gear, it is important to remember that whether sound is distributed by speaker or headphone, the fundamentals remain the same—foundation is paramount. Why disparage the sound of your music by using sub-standard headphone cables? Nordost's Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable now enables you to enjoy the hi-fidelity sound quality that you have been craving from the personal audio market. The Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable consists of 32 AWG 7/40 conductors which have been individually insulated and twisted using Litz construction. Litz construction increases the pliability, as well as eliminates triboelectric noise within the cable and improves upon mechanical damping. In order to accommodate the added durability demanded from headphone cables, Nordost has included an Aramid fiber strength member to the construction of this cable. Integrating Aramid fibers into the cable design not only ensures its mechanical integrity, transferring the strain away from the cable's conductors and to the fibers themselves, but the resonating properties of aramid fibers also enhance sound quality. To take things to the next level, the Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable employs Nordost's proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology with extruded FEP insulation around the conductors, as well as mechanically tuned lengths, which reduce internal microphony and high-frequency impedance resonance. As a result, the Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable acts as the ideal conduit to transfer an amazingly realistic reproduction of sound from your system to your hifi headphones.
The Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable is available with 3.5mm stereo mini, 2x mini XLR female, 1x mini XLR female, 2x Push-pull or 2x 2 pin connectors on the headphone end, and it is terminated with a 4 pin balanced XLR male connector on the source end. Each cable is 2M and includes two adaptors which are comprised of identical construction and technology as the headphone cable itself, and have also been cut to specific, mechanically tuned lengths. Both adaptors are terminated with a 4 pin balanced XLR female connector on one end and either a 3.5mm stereo mini or a 1/4in stereo phono on the opposite end. Due to the various terminations available, the Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable is compatible with all major players in the over-ear headphone market.
• 32 AWG 7/40 Litz Wire Construction • Micro Mono-Filament technology • Low dielectric FEP insulation• Mechanically tuned lengths • Gold plated contact points• Handcrafted in the USA

Because they are essentially free money, grants are a godsend to fledgling businesses. Although finding appropriate grants and qualifying for them isn't easy, you never have to worry about repaying a grant or paying interest. Typically, the government reserves grants only for businesses deemed vital to the state or country overall. Read on to learn more about the grant application process and what kinds of companies currently receive grants.
Sources of Grants
Depending on your business plan and preparation, grants can come from any number of sources. Here are five sources you might consider:
- Local and state agencies. Our federal system is too overworked and underfunded to give grants to all startups, but subsidized financial assistance is essentially the same thing. For example, your local government might offer you a low-interest loan.
- Amber Grants. Ranging from just $500-$1,000, Amber grants began in 1988 as a way to help female entrepreneurs. While modest, such an amount can make the difference between staying at a financial impasse and getting going.
- Uncle Sam. If you meet certain criteria, the government might have specific grants that could help jump start your business. For example, if you manufacture "green" products or perform medical research, the feds just may be able to help you out.
- Like a local business. Occasionally, certain funders will run a contest to drive traffic. For instance, funders might run a competition for local small businesses to compete over a prize.
- Opportunity fund. Based in California, this nonprofit provides various microloans, commercial real estate findings, and microsavings to startups in the Bay Area. If you're located somewhere else, try searching online or asking other business owners if they know of similar local programs.
Environmental Technology Grants
One week ago, the Arizona Commerce Authority gave two technology startups from Tucson, AZ the AZ Fast Grant. This grant is designed to assist small businesses in commercializing their technology innovation. This year's winners, Grannus, LLC and YourLabs, will receive $5,000 in addition to receiving special training on how to market their product and qualify for grants at the federal level for tech startups. The Commerce Authority chose the companies because Grannus is dedicated to polygeneration power plants and efficient energy capture, while YourLabs is an e-learning software developer.
Arizona is not the only state with grant programs for green businesses. For example, in April, two businesses in Western New York received close to $250,000 in grants from the New York Power Authority to support agribusiness and eco-friendly manufacturing. One of those businesses, Eden Valley Growers, is a ten-member vegetable-farming co-op that got $80,000 to pay for energy-efficient coolers to help meet demand for locally grown produce. The other company, Living Green Insulation Products and Services, received almost $170,000 to renovate an old building to house its sustainable manufacturing production.
Fraud Detection Grant
Maryland made the distribution of grants interesting by sponsoring a state competition for startup funding. The winner, Red Owl Analytics, walked away with a $100,000 state grant. The company leveraged the grant to receive a large amount of private funding. Red Owl hopes to make major expansions with the grant. The tech startup monitors the electronic and financial transactions of businesses to look for digital footprints potentially indicative of fraud.
Defense Grants
Federal and state agencies are also inclined to fund companies that offer products and services critical to national defense. For instance, Hawaii Small Business Innovation Research recently started a matching-grant program, which awarded almost $250,000 to four Hawaiian businesses last month. Specifically, Oceanit received $50,000 in matching grants to develop an ice-repellant coating technology for airplanes and a data-integrating software platform for retinal scanning. Likewise, Pacific Rim Defense received about $80,000 to develop integration software for the power-usage information of sea vessels.
When it comes to bankrolling your business, grants are hard to beat. They can be hard to get, but once you have them, their yours forever. You might be eligible for a grant based on the theme of your business or your personal demographics. Once you find a grant, get to work on a proposal that details the nature of your business. It's a lot of work, but your startup will thank you.

Policy Study
Internet Portal Competition and Economic Incentive to Tailor News Slant
SUMMARY In this study, we examine the economic incentive to select political bias of news on Internet portals. The news slant is measured based on the expressions in congressional speeches in 2015, following Gentzkow and Shapiro (2010). The whole articles posted on two major domestic portals in the same year are used for the analysis. The higher the index value, the stronger the slant toward the ruling party. As a result, both portals locate somewhat farther from the ideology of the ruling party. Also, as the difference between portal and user increases, the number of clicks on news page decreased. The slant of portal was positively correlated with consumer 's political preference. In other words, consumers try to click on more news close to one's preference, and the portal seems to select the news contents accordingly. We can interpret this as a profit maximization strategy of the portals in the online advertising market. In addition, there is a differentiation effect between the two portals regarding the news slant, but the size is small. These results suggest that a further discussion on the relevance and effectiveness of self-regulation in the portal news industry is necessary.

Let's face it, as great as technology is, it can be equally frustrating when it doesn't work right. I have given numerous presentations on mobile technology and how to use your smartphone to run your business and I always start with the same thing. The first thing that I try to teach people is what I call "A deep Yoga breath". People usually chuckle, because I say it with a humorous tone, but underneath the joke, I am totally serious. One of the main reasons why people consider me "an expert" in this field is because I KNOW that things are going to go wrong. Often. The trick is to not let it stop you when you run into problems. Here's a tip to remember, everyone has problems with electronics at some point. The best thing that you can do when something goes wrong is start by taking a deep (Yoga) breath, let yourself calm down and then try to tackle the problem again.
Just like computers, sometimes powering your phone on and off can correct a problem. Smartphones are just like regular computers. They have an operating system that helps keep everything running smoothly. However sometimes problems can be created when multiple programs are running for lengthy periods of time. It can confuse the device and certain paths of communication within the phone can get mis-routed. Powering the device on and off can sometimes correct that.
If that does not work, start from scratch. Think when was the last time that you were able to do what you wanted. What has changed since then? Sometimes thinking back to different things you have done to your phone can help you isolate the problem. Have you changed any passwords? Have you changed anything in the Settings that might affect the device? Are other apps not working or is it just this one? If it is just one app, check to see if there is an update for it in the App/Play Store. If not, sometimes you can solve the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Just be careful of what information you might lose if you do that. Most of the time important information or pictures etc. are stored in the cloud so uninstalling it should not create a problem, but make sure you remember you user name and password so that you will be able to log in again once you redownload it.
If that does not work, don't worry, all is not lost. Open your web browser and do an internet search on the specific problem that you are having. It is truly amazing the information that is available. Usually you can find a solution from someone who has had a similar issue. Many times you can really luck out and find a video on youtube that will walk you through fixing it.
The last thing to remember is that it is a question of when not if you will eventually have a serious problem with your phone. It might fall and break, get wet or be misplaced or stolen. It happens to the best of us. This is why it is extremely important to backup your important information, especially pictures. You can always buy a new phone, but you can't get back all the pictures and other memories that are stored on your phone if they aren't backed up. There are many easy ways to do this that we will discuss in a later post. Check back here on the website or follow Smarterphones on Facebook and Twitter to get updates for new blog posts or contact us below and we will respond to you directly.

It is the policy of the New Hartford Town Clerk's office to embrace new technology whenever it is affordable and will enhance our ability to serve our customers.
TOWN OF NEW HARTFORD, Conn. (PRWEB) July 24, 2014
The New Hartford Town Clerk's office announced it is now e-recording and electronically recorded its first document this week through Simplifile, the nation's largest e-recording service provider.
"It is the policy of the New Hartford Town Clerk's office to embrace new technology whenever it is affordable and will enhance our ability to serve our customers," said New Hartford Town Clerk Donna LaPlante. "We have only been accepting e-recording for two weeks and our first e-recording occurred a few days ago with Simplifile. It went very smoothly and the money was in our account the next morning."
With e-recording available, customers such as title companies, banks, attorneys, and others who submit documents to the town clerk's office for recording, will be able to quickly submit documents online through Simplifile's secure, web-based service.
According to LaPlante, the clerk's office is currently accepting all land record documents for e-recording with the exception of surveys, maps and instruments requiring a Connecticut real estate conveyance tax return.
"We're excited to provide our e-recording service in the Town of New Hartford, and of course, users are thrilled to now have this option available at the clerk's office," said Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. "It's faster, more convenient, and more cost-effective than submitting documents by mail or courier service."
Other advantages of e-recording include less overall paper waste, increased document security, fewer rejections and fewer payment errors, as recording fees and payments can be processed securely via Automated Clearing House through Simplifile.

Friday marked the third time in almost 18 months that Metro Area's Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani have traveled from their natural concrete environment of New York to the fake plastic (palm)trees of Los Angeles. The previous two journeys were hosted by polysexual nightlife affair A Club Called Rhonda--an obvious destination for practitioners of a sound born in bathhouses. But this weekend's guest spot at Temporary Spaces 2 was hosted by Culprit, affiliates of the Droog clan, who typically function in the realm of techno (itself once a connoisseurs market, lately driven bizarrely into both underground happenings and megaclubs). Even the sharp difference in flier graphics from the various events bears witness to just how far disco has permeated this dance music zeitgeist.
Like generations of ravers before them, the latest batch of dance crazed youths have hit the adolescent stage when the childish sturm un drang of primal beats and boundless energy found in entry-level sub-genres (electro bangers, trance, party hip-hop) seek to mature into a style that satisfies the super-ego as well as the id. "Going house," has long been a pupa-phase in which many clubbing caterpillars find themselves, and it is occurring with greater frequency as the crest of 2007's electro wave slowly retreats back into the sea.
More often than not, these advanced-placement sounds smartly regenerate the past, inducing a sort of trainspotter's arms race over who possesses the most obscure vinyl gems with which to wow the dance floor. And when it comes to the multi-epochal sound referred to presently as disco (ie- italo, deep house, nudisco, '80s electro), Metro Area are a nuclear state.
Of course, real dance-music heads [snobby as charged] will enlighten you to the fact that Geist has a long solo catalog of Detroit Techno influenced tracks beyond his more revered Metro Area work. To wit, he even played Orlando Voorn's "Flash," a Motor City fave that--as could be expected --sapped the energy from the dance floor. Some sounds are still too time/place specific for left coast revelers. But for the rest of their 2+ hour set, Metro Area quickened pulses with each successive slab of wax (no computers here, my friend), each more obscure and thrilling than the one before.

And while no self respecting writer wished to be reduced to tracklisting DJ sets, the smart book-ending of 1982 proto-house classic "Get Down" by Connie Chase, played just after midnight, and Mory Kanté's "Yeke Yeke (Afro-Acid Remix)" well past 2AM, with their sharply similar chord progressions, shows just how sophisticated these two have become as DJs. It's nice to see Los Angeles dancers keeping pace.

The New Jedi Order Encyclopedia, also known as NJOE and currently NJOE: Beyond the New Jedi Order, is a website created in November 2000, by Jeff Driscoll.
Originally, the site was intended to cover the New Jedi Order series. Starting with the release of Dark Nest I: The Joiner King, it also began covering the post-NJO stories of the Dark Nest Trilogy, Legacy of the Force, and Star Wars: Legacy. It provides a detailed database of characters, species, governments, weapons, technology, and battles, along with interviews of various notable Lucasfilm employees, such as Abel G. Peña.[1]
The site participated in the viral marketing campaign Death Troopers: Recovered Messages from Purge to promote the release of the novel Death Troopers.[2] In the summer of 2010 a leaked sales database was featured on the site indicating the previously canceled Darth Plagueis novel had been revived. This was later confirmed by Lucas Licensing executive editor Sue Rostoni on her blog.

The British parliament's refusal to countenance military intervention in Syria, and President Barack Obama's decision to delay a strike until Congress approves it, point to a larger, even more dangerous contradiction of the mass destruction age.
That is, parliamentary democracy and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) sit ill together. Each confounds the other's natural working.

According to a report issued by the United Nations Tuesday, a quarter of all new HIV infections worldwide last year were in Asia. The world body's AIDS organization says if the spread of the disease is not checked, the region will face the same severe problems that sub-Saharan Africa has already experienced. Tom Rivers reports from London, one of the cities where the U.N. report was launched.
The UNAIDS program reports that in the last year alone, 1.1 million people in Asia became infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
The executive director of the organization, Peter Piot, says the signs are that if adequate prevention programs are not mounted soon, the epidemic will expand in Asia at an alarming rate.
"Across Asia with the exception of Thailand and of Cambodia, leadership of AIDS is absolutely weak or it is emerging, like in China, it is starting," he said. "But in general it is weak or totally absent. And without such strong leadership, there is no way that we can contain this epidemic."
Like elsewhere, AIDS has a stigma attached to it in China, but Mr. Piot says from the prime minister on down, the government has started to send the message that openness on the issue is imperative and that things like concealing infection rate figures will not be tolerated.
"At the central level, I think that there is strong commitment and there is growing leadership. At the provincial level - China is a big country as we all know - provincial level, at the local level, there is still a lot of inaction, non-recognition and also a lot of discrimination," he said.
On a positive note, the UNAIDS chief says Asia can look to Thailand as a model where an effective education program has brought down the infection numbers. He says that in 1991, around 140,000 people became infected with HIV in Thailand. Last year's new infection rate stood at just 21,000.
UNAIDS says Thailand achieved the decrease through a massive campaign promoting of the use of condoms, and by encouraging men to reduce the number of their sexual partners and to avoid prostitutes.

There's this place called The Donut Bar. It's a tiny little shop that sells fancy doughnuts, somewhat in the footsteps of the cupcake craze of a few years ago. Normally, when I pass by at lunchtime, the lights are out, and the window proudly displays a bold "Sold Out!" I normally then make a disappointed sound and move along.
Today was a little bit different. The window instead proclaimed "Happy Hour!" Fearing some trick or miscommunication, I stepped inside only to find piles of decadent doughnuts still behind the glass: apple fritters topped with bacon, doughnuts topped with crushed Butterfinger bars, and what looked like s'more doughnuts topped with mini-marshmallows.
"Just the chocolate one with the sprinkles," I requested conservatively. But somehow I walked out with that and three freebies…
You will be relieved to hear that I did not wolf all of them down at once, delicious as the chocolate with sprinkles was.
Oh, no. I brought the rest home, ostensibly to share. So now this box of temptations now sits on my countertop, biding its time. For sooner or later, I will indeed enjoy the next one. And I'll probably help myself to the one after that, since I predict that nobody else here will dare touch it. And probably, because it would be a shame to let it dry out and become inedible, I will stuff down the one after that, too.
Tomorrow's picture ought to be of an elliptical machine.

The Following Review: Date NightSean McKenna at . Comments
Okay, seriously, what is Joe Carroll's big plan?
It's something I've been waiting to see revealed or at least hinted at beyond the fact that there is some larger motive involved.
Certainly in "Whips and Regret" Roderick was eager to begin, but Joe kept telling him (and it feels like everyone watching the show) to be patient. It will all happen soon.
Yet, I do wonder if Joe has really been more interested in bringing his family together rather than this gigantic scheme that extended multiple followers and a number of years.
His obsession with loving Claire is almost as ridiculous as is her decision to keep running into the cult's open arms. I don't know how he thinks he can condition Claire to feel for him, despite showing some good faith and letting her see Joey.
At the same time, I don't know how Claire actually thought she was going to get her way when she showed up. Hasn't she learned anything? Candlelight dinner and fancy outfits are not going to make everything have a happy ending. Joe is still a killer.
But I'm not so sure if he's as gung ho about the big plan.
I did love the way Roderick tried standing up to Joe and pushing him towards getting things started. Roderick has become a fascinating character. Behind those wide grins is a dark and cold person clawing his way out with violence.
That one scene where he pulled a gun on Vince before attacking a random follower was a bit of a shocker. There's obviously something not right about Roderick, but each move he makes has me itching to know more.
Unfortunately, I feel as if Jacob has made far too much of a drastic turn into evil that makes him less intriguing than his conflicted self. It's as if one moment he's a worried and shaken up guy and then - boom!- he's confident, chilling and in charge.
I'm curious as to how Emma and Jacob's relationship will play out, but I really liked seeing Jacob struggle a bit more.
Meanwhile, Ryan is still struggling to keep up with Joe, although he did discover a massive training ground for followers that included weapons used for some possible attack. Something big must be happening.
Of course, the hunt for clues was through a sex dungeon of kinky fetishes before concluding in a creepy abandoned building. I guess it's unfortunate that bad guys aren't interested in running parts of their operation in Disney World. It'd be a lot easier to see things, that's for sure.
Which really further brings up the notion of something being cliche, especially in this particular genre and story.
Just because Joe decides to imply that something is cliche, almost tongue in cheek, doesn't eliminate it from being cliche. The evil dinner date, the alcoholic hero filled with conflict and doubt, the dark lairs, the crazy cult... none of it feels original in the grand scheme of things.
Sure, I love Ryan Hardy taking out bad guys left and right, as much as I find the suspense and scary aspects of the dark scenes entertaining. Yet, I'm still waiting to see that extra thing that puts the show onto a whole new level.
And, really, until we do get that reveal of the true motive for the massive cult, it's going to be more of the same, including Ryan and the FBI following clues that lead them to random followers, Joe taunting Ryan from a phone and the scary chase that pits good versus evil in the shadows.
It's something The Following does well, but I'm looking forward to seeing more. Am I perhaps as impatient as Roderick? Maybe, but I want to see this story really open it's pages and dive further in.
That said, I am curious as to if Molly will get the chance to kill Ryan and why she gets to be the one to do it. Would Joe really let her?

Israeli soldiers on Thursday fatally shot a Palestinian man who drove a construction vehicle into an army base near Ramallah in the West Bank, barging through a gate and repeatedly trying to run over a soldier, the Israeli military said in a statement. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa identified the man as Yunis Radeideh, 30. In two attacks in July 2008, Palestinians driving construction vehicles in central Jerusalem were shot and killed after plowing into traffic and pedestrians, killing three Israelis. In March 2009, the Palestinian driver of an earthmover flipped over an Israeli police car, wounding two police officers before he was shot dead. According to initial reports, the driver in that episode, Marei al-Radeideh, was a brother of the driver killed at the army base on Thursday.Continue reading the main story

So, yes. I finally got off the blowup mattress when I heard the conversation turn. How does a typical American not meet a Mormon until they reach graduate school?
The Mystery was solved by the time I had had my coffee.
If you grow up in a community of only a particular type of Christians, then go to private particular type of Christian school, then go to a a particular type of private Christian college, you may never meet a Mormon.
The same is true if you grow up in an all white community. The same is true if you grow up in a community that has only English speakers.
So, you know, if you hate Muslims or are afraid of them, maybe you should try meeting some.
If you're afraid of Mideast or Gulf nationals, maybe you should try meeting some.
