Verizon Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg last week told the San Francisco Chronicle that city plans to build networks could be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.
But backers of municipal networks are fighting hard against such claims, reports Telephony Magazine. They are winning the support of a high-tech community worried that Asia and now much of Western Europe is pulling ahead of the U.S. with better broadband penetration, quality and cost.
We're a joke compared to Europe and most of Asia, said economist John Rutledge, the author of last summer's U.S. Chamber of Commerce report on the need for telecom regulatory reform. In the U.S., most people think of broadband as a cable modem that's like turtle mail in Japan and Korea, where broadband services typically run at 20 Mb/s and higher at costs similar to what U.S. consumers pay for 3 Mb/s service, he added.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles WiFi Cloud Committee Report (pdf) included academics as well as incumbent telco and cable company representatives.
Executive Summary
We envision the City of Los Angeles as a place where everyone who works, lives or visits here enjoys convenient and affordable broadband access to the Internet. We want Los Angeles to be a broadband city both in reality and in global reputation.
We think that the experience of increasingly mobile, high speed, personalized communication will help make the City a great place to live, work and enjoy the excitement of urban life. Most importantly, we believe the ability for everyone to communicate easily and quickly is vital to the City s aspiration to serve as a great forum of open and free democratic discussion and creative expression.
In developing our report, the members of the panel agreed on several core values that guided our deliberations and recommendations:
Affordability. High speed communication services need to be available at prices competitive with other cities and regions in the U.S. not just to help close the Digital Divide within the City, but to avoid any negative impact on the decision to locate in Los Angeles or even in one area of the City vs. another by individuals, non-profits or businesses.
Convenience. Access to high speed networks should be available to all City residents, businesses and visitors in ways and at locations that encourage their use and enhance the experience of living in a modern, connected metropolis.
Technological Neutrality. The rapid changes in communication technologies that will occur over the next five years requires that the City not attempt to lock in on any one technological solution nor attempt to award preferred status to any particular solution for fast and easy access to the Net.
"One of the best ways for a city the size of Los Angeles to achieve our goal", says the report, "is to work with institutions in the private sector that share our vision and want to work in partnership with the City to achieve it".
Sponsored by the Wireless Internet Institute, the convention promises to provide three days of brainstorming, analysis and consensus-building among representatives of wireless and mesh networking providers and the city, state and international representatives interested in implementing their solutions.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
I recently had to bid adieu to another pair of jeans.
And, oh, they were good jeans. Deep indigo blue, not too tight, not too loose, the kind of jeans that give your ass a hug with every step. RIP, sweet denim friend. Why did I have to relinquish these jeans to elephant burial ground of clothing in the back of my closet?
Chub rub. That's why.
Now, some of you may have to ask: What is chub rub? (And if you have no idea what chub rub is, I kind of hate you a little bit.)
CHUB RUB: When the inner thighs of a human touch, and upon locomotion, rub together, thus causing friction resulting in a number of maladies including, but not limited to chafing, blisters, rashes, bleeding, bumps and discoloration.
Chub rub. Everybody gets it. Fat, thin, inbetweenie -- thighs will be thighs! And they like to get cozy. I have been a lifelong chub rub sufferer.
My earliest chub rub memory is from when I was 11. My parents had sent me to tennis camp. I was a regular kid, taller than most kids (I hit 5'5" when I was 12 and stayed there), taking on a pear shape early on, but still victim to being called "Olive Oyl" by the mean kids.
After a grueling day of hitting balls, my mom picked me and my friend up from camp and loaded us into the car. As we pestered my mom to take us to McDonald's (I had a religious devotion to McNuggets), I raised up my shorts to take a look at the stinging that had been taking place for the last couple hours on my inner thighs.
Before I could really take stock of my pink and puffy inner thighs, my friend cried out, "Louise! What's wrong with your thighs?" Wrong with them?
I still didn't think to be embarrassed, so I told her that I was sweaty at camp and that my thighs rubbed together. "Your THIGHS rubbed together? Mine don't. That's weird," my delightful campmate replied, and I felt the first twinges of what I can only call shame.
Of course, it didn't help that my mom heard all of this and started barking from the front seat, "TALCUM POWDER! YOU NEED TALCUM POWDER! SPREAD IT ON YOUR THIGHS! KEEP IT WITH YOU AT CAMP! NO MORE BLISTERS!"
I wanted to leap from the moving station wagon. No way was I going to be the thigh-friction kid AND the kid covered in white shit.
Thus began my battle with chub rub.
Gone now is the shame and embarrassment, cuz, hey, rub happens, but it's replaced with a near obsessive determination to confidently wear non-pants clothing without fear of retribution.
I don't know about yours, but mine is the kind that can shred denim, not to mention my thighs. I literally have a scar from an afternoon I spent walking around Kansas City (y'all, the Midwest gets HUMID) one summer sans chub rub protection.
My usual go-to protection used to be antiperspirant or deodorant. Simply slather on your inner thighs after slathering in your pits. It worked well in LA, but upon entering more balmy regions it did not seem to hold up.
I'm embarrassed to say I once tried Astroglide in a pinch (don't ask) which actually worked for a short time, but frankly it felt kind of gross and really, who wants to put Astroglide all over their thighs?
Bike shorts under skirts are the eternal go to, but they can get hot and don't always work when you're wearing something shorter and skimpier, unless you're going for that whole 90s "The Real World, San Francisco" vibe.
Lately, I've taken it upon myself to make some homemade chub rub remedies, with varying success. I've yet to find an answer to my thigh's pants-shredding tendencies (anyone? anyone?), but as for skin on skin contact, here are my findings.
Silky Powder AKA Knock Off of Lush's Silky Underwear Dusting Powder
I know, I know, I heard my mother's voice screaming about "TALCUM POWDER!" too when I tried this.
Lush makes a dusting powder that is supposed to deodorize and keep you fresh in your panties, but also makes a pretty damn good chub rub powder. Because I'm stubborn and egotistical, I refuse to buy anything I am convinced I can make myself. So, I made my own Silky Powder.
The recipe I used consisted of:
Mix up all the dry ingredients and, while you're mixing it all up drop in (one drop at a time) the essential oil. Sift it into a shaker (I used an old dry shampoo shaker).
I sprinkled some into my underpants and then some on my thighs and rubbed in. It kept the chub rub at bay for an evening, but by the end of the night I started to feel the rub. Plus, there's a learning curve, in that I'm messy and I got it everywhere. Don't wear black clothing the first time you use it. Just saying.
Overall, I liked this a lot and it was so easy and simple, but once the temperature rises I may need more protection.
Coconut Oil Cream
Honestly, this is what I use for deodorant in my crunchionista world. My reasoning was, the first time I used this, is that it keeps my pits pretty dry and fresh smelling, so why not try it on my thighs?
Mix this all up, put it in a bottle and rub a thin layer into your thighs. This holds up for me through an afternoon hike in the middle of a Hawai'i summer, and into dinner after. It's a little tacky at first, but goes away pretty quickly. If your mixture is too soupy, just use less coconut oil. You'll have a more powdery consistency, but it works just as well.
And if the homemade route doesn't soothe your chafe, there's the always effective...
Monistat Soothing Care Powder Gel
Pretty simple. Buy it. Use it. Love it.
It's a gel that upon smoothing onto your thighs, gives your hours of chub rub freedom. It goes on clear, feels silky and stays put. I personally, haven't used it in years because of my crunchy hippy dippy leanings, but it works like a charm.
I've yet to be able to replicate it in my kitchen but when I do, THE WORLD WILL OPEN IT UP AND IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL.
BTW Benefit's Dr. Feelgood works great in a pinch too!
So this is what I've been up to. Slathering shit on my thighs. I'm not sure I've found the perfect answer yet, but I'm nothing if not determined.
Do any of you have any tried and true chub rub remedies? Any chub rub remedy fails? What works for you?

Mexico City has been invaded by peace loving clowns.
Funny business with a serious message at the Clown Convention in Mexico
Funny business with a serious message at the Clown Convention in Mexico
Coming from all over Latin America, they were in town for the 18th Annual Clown Convention. Though their business may be laughs, they had a serious message.
Chanting "No to violence, Yes to peace", they wanted to disassociate themselves from a man who allegedly killed a drug baron dressed as a clown. Mexico has seen 600,000 deaths due to drug-related violence in the last seven years.
"We want peace since there is so much violence on this side (of Mexico)," says one clown, "we know how the situation is right now. We want a little bit of peace. We spread happiness, laughter, smiles. That's why we're clowns."
Clowns are an integral part to life in Mexico, with around 10,000 registered with the Latin American Clown Association. They can often be seen performing in the street to earn a living, but it's a tough life. The convention will see a series of workshops to help them hone their craft. One clown explains the importance of getting together every year.
"To train ourselves better so that there'll be work. Fortunately, us clowns that are trained are not worried about that. We don't suffer a lot like the majority of the society. We will start dying from hunger when there are no children left."
Their clowning around culminated in a fifteen minute-long laugh-a-thon in the centre of the city.

Gadgets that go with your wines
Anyone with a swimming pool or a picnic at the beach knows that glassware is a bad idea. Break your wine glass and you might cut someone else's foot. One solution is the Govino wine glass (above), made of shatterproof pharmaceutical grade plastic.
Govino, which retail around $5 each, are made in Taiwan and are distributed in Canada by B & M Marketing (Canada) Ltd., the Toronto firm (905-855-8208) that introduced in 2007 the marvellous breathable wine glass made by Germany's Eisch Glasskultur. Those exceptional glasses, now widely available in stores selling stemware, soften the tannic edge of young red wines.
The function of Govino is simpler. It is a well-designed unbreakable glass designed for the beach or the picnic. It is the first plastic wine glass that I have used which seems as neutral as one made with real glass. It does not alter the aroma or flavour of the wines, unlike the cheap disposable party plastic. This is a reusable vessel that will serve you for years, as long as you do not wash it in the home dishwasher, where sometimes excessive temperatures may alter its shape slightly.
Anyone serving a young red wine knows that the wines are better after being decanted; the exposure of the wine to air softens the textures and opens the aromas and flavours. That's what the Eisch stemware does for a wine.
Not everyone has Eisch stemware or a decanter or wants to be bothered with decanting. Recently, I have tasted wines that had been served after being poured through alternatives to the decanter. They all do the job very well.
Pictured above is an attractive Italian-made product called Centellino areadivino. It effectively decants wine a pour at a time. Simply tipping the bottle to fill the amphora provides the aeration that opens the aromas and flavours of the wine. Centellino is distributed in British Columbia by GeaWineWorks and the contact is Angelene Janusonis (604-531-7506). The company's website, http://www.geawineworks.com/, has additional information. Expect to see Centellino in stores that sell good wine accessories.
Another alternative is a device called the Vinturi Wine Aerator, also sold in wine accessory stores. I saw one recently in a VQA store. This is a hand-held device that one holds above the wine glass while pouring the wine through it. The wine swirls through the device and this aeration opens the flavours and aromas.
A third device is a Danish-made product called the Wine Finer (see the photo at the upper right), which is distributed in British Columbia by Nuance Finer Imports in Summerland (contact Mike or Debbie Bevan, 250-494-52070. Their website is www.wineaerator.ca and it lists retailers.
The elegant Wine Finer slips into the wine bottle, doubling as a pour spout. The wine also swirls through it, picking up the air needed to soften and open the wine. The device also includes a filter that strains out sediments.
I have experienced all three in action. Each one sells for around $50 (give or take $10) and each one delivers what it promises. Young red wines clearly taste better.
Your choice will depend on how you feel about the aesthetics of each of these gadgets.

California has long led the nation in cigarette-smoking bans, but the newest craze of electronic cigarettes has so far slipped through the cracks. In the early 2000s, state laws stopped smokers from lighting up in parks, schools, workplaces, government buildings, playgrounds, and cars with kid passengers. None of these rules, however, apply to e-cigarettes. People can "vape" almost anywhere.
Conventional cigarette regulation is a mixed bag in Santa Barbara County. A secondhand-smoking ordinance was updated in 2010 that banned smoking at outdoor concerts, sports events, bus stops, beaches, parks, outdoor trails (excluding Lake Cachuma and Jalama Beach) and declared ashtrays could not be within 20 feet of workplaces.
The rules change once smokers enter city limits. The City of Santa Barbara has not updated its secondhand-smoke ordinance since 2002, and its beaches — along with Goleta's — are among a handful in all of southern California that have not banned smoking on the sand. People are allowed to smoke on all restaurant/bar patios after 10 p.m. in the City of Santa Barbara but only on a quarter of outdoor seating at restaurants on county land.
Buellton is the one place in the county where e-cigarettes are under the same restrictions as traditional cigarettes. Its ordinance defines "smoke" as "the gases, particles, or vapors released into the air as a result of combustion, electrical ignition, or vaporization." The catch is that people are allowed to "vape" e-cigarettes in Buellton that do not contain nicotine. According to Buellton Sheriff's Lt. Shawn O'Grady, there have not been any e-cigarette violations under the ordinance.
At this point, bylaws leave it up to the discretion of the business owner to ban e-cig use in their establishments. "You don't see them at Café Stella," said Dawn Dunn, an administrator for the county's Tobacco Prevention Settlement Program, explaining rules are often based on clientele preference. "We respond to the public. We aren't out there creating problems," she said.

Judge orders probe of 'destruction' of Hillary emails
State bar to investigate allegations against Clinton, her lawyers
When the FBI was asked to release files related to Hillary Clinton's famous 33,000 deleted emails, the bureau insisted the former secretary of state and presidential candidate's privacy outweighed the "public interest" in disclosing the information.
Now, the lawyer who made the Freedom of Information Act request has filed a complaint in a Maryland court seeking to have Clinton and her lawyers disbarred, and a judge has ordered the state bar to investigate allegations of destroying evidence, the Washington Times reported.
Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Paul F. Harris Jr. said Monday the complaints against David E. Kendall, Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were egregious and the state bar couldn't dismiss them as frivolous.
The complaint was brought by New York state lawyer Ty Clevenger, who continues to press the FBI to release details of its investigation into Clinton's handling of classified information through a private email server, which violated State Department policy.
Clinton and her associates were allowed to decide which of her 60,000 emails to surrender to the State Department and which would be withheld. About 33,000 being were withheld as "private." The FBI, however, later found thousands of work-related emails that weren't turned over to the government.

The scandal figured prominently in the 2016 election, as Clinton has acknowledged in her new book "What Happened." Then-FBI director James Comey announced in July 2016 that the bureau would not refer the case to the Justice Department for prosecution, even though Clinton was found to have been "grossly negligent" in her handling of classified material. The FBI insisted "malicious intent" was necessary to prosecute, but legal analysts have pointed out that the relevant statute doesn't require intent. Further, it was disclosed earlier this month that Comey had prepared his statement exonerating Clinton two months before the announcement, before even interviewing her or her aides. Also, the Obama Justice Department later barred the FBI from asking Mills questions that went to the heart of the emails investigation.
On Monday, the Washington Times reported, Alexis Rohde, a lawyer representing the grievance commission, insisted Clevenger's complaint was frivolous.
But Judge Harris concluded the rules clearly required the commission to investigate.
What do YOU think? What would you like to say to Hillary Clinton at this time? Sound off in today's WND poll!
Clevenger: FBI 'covering up'
In an interview with the Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson last Thursday, Clevenger said that since the FBI's initial rejection, the Justice Department has granted his appeal.
The Justice Department, he said, conceded that there is a public interest in the information and has expedited his request.
He is asking for relevant documents that Congress has requested or sent to the FBI.
Clevenger said he originally suspected an Obama holdover at FBI was blocking his request, but he changed his mind when Sens. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., disclosed that Comey had already decided to exonerate Clinton before she was even interviewed.
"So, at this point, I think the FBI is trying to cover its own rear end," Clevenger said.
"They don't want the documents coming out just showing how badly they covered it up."
Clevenger agreed that if an average lawyer had destroyed 30,000 pieces of evidence, he would be disbarred and prosecuted criminally.
Clinton told "CBS Sunday Morning" this week that conducting State Department business on an unsecured email server was "the most important of the mistakes I made."
"I said it before, I'll say it again, that was my responsibility. It was presented in such a negative way, and I never could get out from under it and it never stopped," Clinton said.

How buying a home is gambling
Ryan Avent adjudicates the homes-as-investments debate, and comes to a positively Solomonic conclusion:
Sure, it's fine to think of homes as investments, so long as the kind of investment you have in mind is the highly risky sort you wouldn't recommend to anyone who didn't have the ample knowledge and financial cushion you'd expect to see in a successful entrepreneur. And that does not describe most potential homeowners.
I think that both Adam Ozimek and I might well agree with that. Here's Ozimek's latest:
I agree with Felix that buying a house is not a certain investment; you can lose your money and your home. Obviously in the past few years many people have, and that's terrible. Where I disagree, is with his contention that since the outcome is so bad, the potential investment returns are never worth it, and you should stick with other investments which don't have the added downside of homelessness…
Why can the potential cost of losing your money and your home be worth it for the consumption or psychological benefits, but not for benefit of potential financial returns?
The problem here is that no one ever buys a house with their eyes that wide open, fully cognizant that they are taking a calculated risk in which they know full well that there's a non-trivial probability that the consequences of their "investment" will be foreclosure, bankruptcy, and homelessness. Investments don't work like that: if you've laboriously saved up enough money to scrape together a downpayment on a home, that's money you're not going to gamble. The number of people genuinely comfortable with taking that kind of downside risk is basically zero, as it should be. (Remember that most homeowners have families to support: they're not just gambling their own livelihood, but that of their family too.)
So yes, Adam, I do feel comfortable giving this much investment advice: no potential investment returns are worth it if the downside is that there's a good chance that you'll end up financially devastated. That's not sensible diversification: it's putting all your eggs into a basket that you have essentially no control over. Avent is right that buying a home is a bit like starting a small business, but the big difference is that the value of a small business comes in large part down to the owner. Whereas in the property market, the owner can only affect value at the margin.
If you have essentially no control over the outcome of your investment, and you have no way to exit that investment if it starts to go bad, then you're a gambler. And as Avent says, that does not describe most potential homeowners.
Update: Konczal also weighs in, and reckons that buying a house is basically the same as buying a hedge fund with a 2-and-66 fee structure.

Myers' work highlighted
The local chapter of the American Cancer Society will once again honor cancer survivors, as well as those who have been lost to the disease during the ACS Summer Lights Celebration on August 22.
An addition to this year's program is a salute to cancer research. "This year we have the opportunity to recognize the research of Dr. Rick Myers," said Jo Ann Henderson, executive director of the chapter. "Dr. Myers and the research conducted by his team will lead the way to advances in understanding the complexities of the human genome that will ultimately lead to advances in cancer treatments. We look forward to celebrating and recognizing his research efforts." Honorees also include two local cancer survivors: author Homer Hickam and Huntsville native Katie Sanders.
The celebration will be held at the Von Braun Center.

Nobody is saying that solar power is the answer to all the state's power needs — only that it's promising as a part of the equation.
Unfortunately, too many of South Carolina's lawmakers seem to be looking for reasons that solar power can't work instead of searching for ways that it can.
They're turning a deaf ear to a growing number of people who like the idea of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, being kind to the environment, saving some money — and not trailing the rest of the country in yet another area.
As Tony Bartelme and Doug Pardue report in today's paper, the issue isn't simple. Increasing the use of solar power would have an impact — albeit slight — on the sale of traditional power. The state's laws would have to be changed if homeowners, businesses and organizations are going to be able to afford to install solar panels.
And the long-term success of solar power, even in sunny South Carolina, is unclear.
Importantly, the Public Service Commission will have to stand up for South Carolinians who want policies friendlier to solar energy.
Similarly, scientists predict a great future for wind power in this region, but state regulations discourage its use (see Perrin Dargan's column on today's Commentary page).
The fact is, people in South Carolina are ready for alternative energy sources. Hundreds of businesses and individuals have written to the PSC to complain that the current net metering laws for solar power systems are too restrictive and not uniform. Statewide, the cap for solar energy is 0.2 percent of peak demand. Advocates would like to see that increased to 2 percent — a major increase, but still substantially less than in many states.
They'd like to see the cap on net metering for commercial systems raised, also. One of those petitioning for that increase is Walmart, which aspires to be supplied by 100 percent renewable energy.
Solar advocates want the state to allow individuals and organizations like churches to lease solar panels. Doing so makes solar power financially feasible, but leasing is currently prohibited by state regulation.
And they'd like communities to be allowed to install their own solar power systems.
Earlier this year, the PSC promised people a fall forum to discuss their ideas publicly, but canceled when asked to by utilities. That was a disappointing decision and one that raises questions about the extent to which the PSC dances to the utilities' tune. There is no rule that the PSC may have only one forum. As long as people — and utilities — have information to share, the PSC should be making efforts to listen.
Popular support for solar energy in South Carolina is higher than ever, in part because people see neighboring states making strides. They recognize that solar power should no longer be restricted to those who can afford the substantial up-front installation costs. And they fear businesses and industry will think twice about establishing a presence in a state lagging far behind with restrictive, outdated laws regulating solar energy.
It's time the PSC and the state Legislature see the light and work to make South Carolina more solar-power friendly.

Occupy Wall Street
Occupy DC protests The Alfalfa club
armandog8, who covered the protest as a freelance photojournalist, says: 'For someone who has been covering the Occupy DC camp for a while, I was surprised nobody got arrested. I believe the occupiers and police are saving their energies for Monday, when they won't be allowed to sleep at the park or camp.'
- elchueco, CNN iReport producer
At 6pm a group from the Occupy DC camp decided to head to the Capitol Hill Hilton Hotel to protest the Alfalfa Club(*) and its members. By then the surrounding area has been heavily blocked by the police, in all directions, and the protesters had no other choice but to wait for members from the Alfalfa club to enter the premises using one of the intersections they were blocking.
At approximately 7pm, Senator Joe Lieberman(I) headed to the Hilton, by foot. As he passed the protesters a heavy cloud of glitter descended upon him and his security; he has just been 'glitter-bombed'.(Photograph #1)
As the evening turned to night the protesters decided to start a block party, with the help of a set of speakers and a laptop. 'Bulls of Parade' by Rage Against the Machine, 'F#@$ the Police' by N.W.A, '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!) by the Beastie Boys were some of the songs played by the impromptu DJ. As the crowd started dancing 2 women took off their tops which eventually led to over 20 individuals following the same example, men and women who, with the help of a sharpie pen, wrote on their chests slogans concerning their cause. Surprisingly neither the secret service nor the MPD, both at the scene, arrested any of the individuals for indecent exposure.
By 10pm the protesters decided to head northeast looking for a way that would lead them closer to the hotel. As they approached 16th st nw and M st. officers started moving to reinforce the barrier. At this point the protesters gather into a circle and decided they would run towards the barrier. Expecting for the police to be more kind with women, they all agree that women would go first-most of them half naked. As the women charge against the barrier, police tackle all of them and pushed them to the ground. The protesters attempted to cross the police barrier at least 2 more times without any luck. By this point the police had used horses, in an attempt to push away the protesters. In a maneuver done to separate the crowd, police pushed their horses against the protesters, who at this point weren't attempting to cross any barriers, and trampled them against cars who were parked on the side of the road. At this point, several protesters started yelling that they were going to be filling a complaint with the department regarding the treatment they had just received; a few protesters also complained of some of the horses stepping on their feet.
By 11pm the protesters were back at their original destination: the enter/exit intersection from where some of The Alfalfa club members were making their way into the Hilton. As some of the guests started to exit protesters blocked their way or simply shouted at them. Police quickly came to the rescue of the guests, who were obviously distressed and, at times, scared of the protesters. This lead to more confrontations as police pushed protesters away from the guests' ways.
According to MPD no arrests were made last night.

Weird Weeds
Local 506
Cruise the reviews of Austin, Texas' Weird Weeds, and you'll find references to both noise-rock a la Shellac and new-folk as made by your Devendra Banharts, often in the same sentence. Picture a gyrating, feedback-warrior angel on one shoulder and a seated, strumming angel on the other. (No devils here.) W-S Burns opens at 10 p.m., and $6 gets you in. --Rick Cornell
N.C. Beach Music Day
State Capitol
Dig out yer topsiders, Raleigh, 'cause it's time to shag (that means dance, sonny).

Valient Thorr
Really bad at spelling and really good at rockin', Chapel Hill's Valient Thorr is "the best band on the planet that is not from this planet. They're from the planet Venus." Origins aside, Valient cock rocks out a balled-up, bodacious braggadocio of futurock with ballistic power, metal shredding and mercenary shrieking. Their Total Universe Man, due out in June, is as close to a punk opera as you're likely to get, and it will have no trouble making the live jump. See them before they join The Warped Tour this summer. Eddie Taylor's new Electric Sunshine pops the top. --Grayson Currin
Jones Auditorium

Dynasty, Dynamite Brothers
Dynasty hails from NYC and mix experimental, borderline-jazz methods with electronic pop, but don't hold it against them. Seth Misterka's sax, guitar and computer blip all coalesce with Jennifer DeVeau's caterwaul, rocketed at the libido and cerebral cortex simultaneously. N.Y.-with-N.C.-roots rockers Gold Streets and our own soul strutters, Dynamite Brothers, open at 10 p.m. Tickets are $5. --Chris Toenes

Kick The Future
The Pour House
As a carpetbagger of recent vintage, one of the more curious bits of area musical folklore is the ballad of Robert Kirkland. He formed Arrogance with Don Dixon and rocked the region in the '70s and early '80s. They never made much commercial headway despite a couple of record deals, and consequently their legacy got muddied by the Southern pop renaissance that Dixon helped usher in. Undeterred, Kirkland took another shot, uniting with Arrogance drummer Scott Davison and guitarist Terry McInturff--in short, Kick the Future--before deciding cabinetry was a more lucrative pursuit. Thankfully, Kirkland's come out of retirement, offering hope for those who, like me, have endured the reverential tones and misty-eyed genuflections of local graybeards and want to see for ourselves. --Chris Parker
The Standbys
Joe & Jo's
Inspired by the local likes of Caitlin Cary, Thad Cockrell and the Brown Mountain Lights, this four-piece formed two years ago in Chapel Hill. Here's guitarist Brian Frazelle's crack at a 10-words-or-less description: "Bright, melodic and energetic roots-inspired rock and pop music." Come out at 9:30 p.m. and decide how close he came. --Rick Cornell
Chapel Hill
Sunday Music Series
Southern Village
There hasn't been this much brass on the village green since The Kinks released Preservation: Act 1. The Triangle Tuba Quartet and Brass on the Side provide the low and mellow as part of the Southern Village Sunday Music Series. The free show runs 5-7:30 p.m. on the green at Market Street.
Véronique Diabolique
Local 506
Francophilian goth freaks turning Baudelaire poetry into fleet-fingered guitar rock, Véronique Diabolique is led by the sweetly seductive Dominique. They'll be playing with Glissade, the Triangle's newest noise-inflected minimalism ensemble, who unleash whirling maelstroms of likely rock instruments in unlikely patterns. Amsterdam duo zZz headline.
The Pour House
Left to her own devices, Lovewhips' frontwoman Erin Harpe sings country blues. But when she hooks up with bassist Jim Countryman, MicL Potvin on keys and percussionist Art McConnell, it sounds like the B-52's meet King Sunny Ade: Afro-reggae pop with a Southern accent. Dancing your ass off is the most common reaction. The free show starts at 10 p.m. --Grant Britt
Coral Reef Adventure
With temperatures headed up, it might be time to take an IMAX splash into the world of coral reefs. Visit Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Tahiti and the mysterious depths of Rangiroa Atoll. Plenty of oxygen for all, and you won't even need a towel. Total immersion for around $14.
Chapel Hill
Emily Waszak
The Cave
Waszak is of both Japanese and Appalachian descent, but she was essentially born from the turntable of two record store employees. Her honeyed vocals dip and swerve with casual precision, slaloming through a landscape of misfortune. Like a creaky porch floorboard, there's an air of inevitability and acceptance winding through the stark, acoustic guitar lines, carrying the burden of its heavy heart like a badge. Waszak's somber country waltzes reiterate the timeless complaint--"la plus ça change," finding some hope in the "more it stays the same" half. The show's at 10 p.m. --Chris Parker
Wednesday next
N.C. Symphony Play with the Pros
Booth Amphitheatre
This is the eighth annual Pros concert, featuring a full program by the symphony led by Grant Llewellyn, including pieces from Strauss' Prince Methusalem and Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Then more than three dozen of the finest local players take the stage for a side by side performance with the symphony. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the free show starts at 7 p.m. Visit www.boothamphitheatre.com for more details.
The Remix Project
White Collar Crime
In case you missed 'em at the big beat showdown over the weekend (Saturday, May 28 at Cat's Cradle), you can catch The Remix Project laying down the groove on the first Wednesday of every month at White Collar Crime.

That's one way to liven up a boring high-school graduation ceremony.
A video shown to over 400 people attending the ceremony at Denmark's Gammal Hellerup Gymnasium was interrupted by hidden-camera footage of a male student having sex with a woman who does not attend the school, reports UPI, citing the Copehagen Post. Most of the video consisted of more-innocent pictures of student life at the school.
Now, the school's principal is outraged and would like to see charges filed against whoever shot and edited the footage, though he does not blame the stars of the video.
"We've agreed not to press charges," Rasmussen told Berlingske Nyhedsbureau. "However, we have encouraged the two young people who appear in the video to proceed with the case. It is really them, and not the school, that was violated."
But the unidentified woman in the video may have a legal case, media law expert Oluf Jorgensen told Politiken newspaper, reports the Daily Mail.
"Because the footage was shown at the morning ceremony, we're talking about the disclosure of material that is offensive and that is a clear violation of the criminal law," Jørgensen said.

This is a nice short trail to walk although it was a little overgrown. There were plenty of birds and squirrels seen along the way. It looks like it could get muddy after a rain and bug spray is a must in warm weather.
It was a nice walk. The trails are marked clearly. The nature trail is a bit short. So I walked it a couple times and added a little bit of the horseback trail for distance.
Short little trail. The back half of it is a dirt forest service road. Nothing special
Was passing by the area and decided to check it out. There looks to be a few trails in the park and picked this one due to time. The others were a lot longer. The trail was a little overgrown and there were some limbs that had fallen. There were plenty of birds and squirrels along the way and there is a decent board walk over the wet area although I imagine the trail could get muddy after a rain.

Ever since Mark McGwire publicly announced his use of androstenedione, sales of this unregulated over-the-counter drug have skyrocketed. It has been touted as both a performance and recovery enhancer, and is being used by many athletes in many different sports. Anytime there is this much hype surrounding a purported performance-enhancing chemical, great caution is advised.
What is it?
Performance enhancing steroids are evaluated in terms of anabolic and androgenic effects. Anabolic means, "to build up", and androgenic refers to masculinizing effects. All of the biochemicals, natural and artificial, in this class of compounds have both anabolic and androgenic activity. It pays to keep this in mind when discussing anabolic steroids because the androgenic properties account for most of the side effects (more on this later).
Androstenedione is a naturally occurring androgenic steroid that is produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and testicles. Once released into the blood it is rapidly converted into testosterone, but there are also pathways through which androstenedione is converted into estrogen.
Note the obvious structural similarity between the two molecules
|The sordid tale of androstenedione in sports starts in the 1970s in former East Germany. Scientists there were the first to produce, and apply, the chemical. Exogenously administered androstenedione only has a short half-life; East German athletes snorted it as a nose spray an hour before competition (this was a team requirement in the 1988 Olympics). Taken this way it results in a rapid rise in testosterone, which lasts 1 3 hours. This was thought to aid performance although the exact effects arent known. Despite the fall of the East German regime, much of the compiled data of what they did to their athletes remains hidden. Hopefully, we now know enough not to repeat that dark chapter. (Although to witness the embarrassment of the 1998 Tour de Farce (France) due to widespread use of erythropoietin, it appears not.)
Performance Enhancement.
The combination of anabolic steroids, when administered to cause levels higher than normally found in the body, and strength training results in an increase in muscle size, strength, and fat free mass. Further effects are increased red blood cell mass, improved mood/aggression, and blunting of the catabolic effect of heavy training. These latter effects may enable endurance athletes to train harder while minimizing overtraining. Whether androstenedione use yields these performance enhancing effects, though, is yet to be directly determined.
Sounds too good to be harmless, right?
Undoubtedly a more important question than whether or not androstenedione is an effective performance enhancer, is the issue of safety. Because androstenedione is an androgen, toxicity is best discussed by reviewing the known harmful effects of other androgens.
Commonly seen side effects due to excess androgens are,
Less common or potential adverse effects,

Another $10,000 PowerBall® Winner in Rhode Island
The PowerBall® winning streak continues with another $10,000 winner, making for 1 $10,000 prize in each of the last 3 consecutive drawings. The ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number for last night's drawing. The standard payout for this type of win is $10,000. The winner did not purchase the Power Play® feature for an additional dollar on the wager. If the player had opted for Power Play®, the $10,000 prize would have been multiplied by five, last night's Power Play® number, to equal $50,000.
The winning ticket was purchased from Sunoco on 634 George Washington Highway in Lincoln. The $10,000 prize has yet to be claimed. The winner of last Saturday's $10,000 winning ticket also has not come forward.
Saturday's estimated PowerBall® jackpot is $61 million.
This website, www.RILOT.com, is the official website of
the Rhode Island Lottery. It is UNLAWFUL for anyone under the age of 18 to play the Lottery. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy
of the winning numbers information on this website, mistakes
can occur. If you have questions about winning numbers, contact
the Lottery at 401.463.6500 or visit your nearest Lottery
Retailer for the official winning numbers and game information.

Kim Kardashian definitely has one hell of a body and she knows it. She even exposed some of her breasts while walking on Miami Beach recently. She had lowered her top to show off her boobies to all the people surrounding her. Ms. Kim was getting all the attention from the dudes that were following her every move. I am sure her boyfriend Kanye West gets a little upset, but he has to be prepared for all of this added attention.

Friday, August 16, 2013 - English law,illegal actors,illicit antiquities,illicit art trade,international No comments
Janet Ulph's and Ian Smith's "The Illicit Trade in Art and Antiquities" reviewed by Marc Balcells (The Journal of Art Crime, Spring 2013)
Marc Balcells reviews The Illicit Trade in Art and Antiquities (Hart Publishing 2012) by Janet Ulph and Ian Smith in the Spring 2013 issue of The Journal of Art Crime.
Janet Ulph and Ian Smith write, mainly from a legal point of view, about the illicit trade in art and antiquities, the criminal and civil liability derived from these kind of cases, and the efforts regarding international recovery. The goal of the text is to focus upon the extent to which laws can protect vulnerable countries, while considering what further steps could be taken in the future. Therefore, the book deals with this particular topic from a double perspective: an international point of view, on the one hand; on the other, drawing from the experience of the authors (Mrs. Ulph is a solicitor and a professor in Commercial Law at the University of Leicester, and Mr. Smith is a barrister in London), it uses many cases from English law.
The book covers, in a logical and ordered structure, the different topics mentioned above. The first chapter deals generally with the trade in art and antiquities: concepts and broad topics are defined, such as the legal right to claim, good faith purchasers, or the global market in art and antiquities. The situation in Iraq is used as a study case, to illustrate the patters of this form of illicit trade.
The second chapter talks about international initiatives, to focus on the major international conventions and other legal instruments which, objectively, have an impact upon the illicit trade in art and antiquities. The scope of this chapter is truly amazing, going beyond the UNESCO and UNIDROIT conventions, and analyzing such legal dispositions as the Vienna or Palermo conventions, among others.
The complete book review is included in the ninth issue of The Journal of Art Crime, edited by ARCA Founder Noah Charney (available electronically and in print via subscription and Amazon.com). Associate Editor Marc Balcells (ARCA '11) is a Graduate Teaching Fellow at the Department of Political Science, John Jay College of Criminal Justice -- The City University of New York.

What is an Internship?
"An academic internship is a form of experiential education that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skill development in a professional setting.
Students earn academic credit, or there is some other connection to a degree-granting, educational institution.
This work/learning arrangement is overseen by a faculty or staff member of an educational institution and by a designated employee of an organization.
The internship is usually the length or equivalent of an academic term, may be part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid.
An integral component of the experience that distinguishes it from other types of work is one or more forms of structured and deliberate reflection contained within learning agendas or objectives."
Developed in 2002 by Mike True (of Messiah College) in collaboration with other professionals

Posted April 13, 2015
The Ministry of Health has taken a key step in proposing changes to the nursing regulations. These changes will clarify the scope of practice of the four nursing disciplines: licensed practical nurses (LPNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), registered nurses (RNs), registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs).
The proposed regulations are important in clarifying the restricted activities for each nursing discipline.
The proposed regulations also clarify the legal authority for NPs, RNs and RPNs to give orders to LPNs. The three nurse regulators (College of Licensed Practical Nurses of BC, College of Registered Nurses of BC, College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC) are revising their scope of practice documents and developing a joint practice standard to help nurses in BC better understand their responsibilities when giving and receiving orders.
The three nurse regulators are pleased government is moving ahead to finalize changes to the nursing regulations, and believe it's important to bring the regulations into force as soon as possible, knowing there will be an opportunity to make minor revisions later.
If you agree that government should move forward with this initiative, and/or you have suggested changes to the regulations, please submit them via email no later than July 9, 2015, to:
