- (Elektra)
The first full-length album from this British band after the death of guitarist/vocalist Mary Hansen isn't markedly different from other recent Stereolab albums. The same musical hallmarks are there: Airy pop melodies, hypnotic rhythms, jazzy lounge-flavored textures colored with retro-futuristic analog synthesizers, and Laetitia Sadier's light, dreamy vocals (though with Hansen gone, Sadier provides her own backing vocals this time). Still, the songs sound like one of their strongest batch in a while. 1/26/2004 - Don Yates

Mets Short Hops: Game 7
Perez keeps New York in it, but Series dream falls short
By Chris Girandola / MLB.com
The Mets' Oliver Perez matched the Cards' Jeff Suppan in a classic pitchers' duel, but New York came up short in the ninth. Frozen moment
Sixth inning, one out, game tied. Perez walks Jim Edmonds. The right-handed-hitting Scott Rolen comes to the plate. Manager Willie Randolph calls time and jogs out to talk to Perez. Perez tosses the first pitch to Rolen, who turns on it, sending it deep to left field. Endy Chavez races to the wall, and in one fluid motion, leaps, throws his glove up and over the edge of the wall and makes a spectacular snowcone catch. With 56,357 at Shea Stadium in delirium, Chavez hustles to get the ball back in to double up Edmonds at first. Frozen moment II
With the score tied in the top of the ninth, Aaron Heilman struck out Edmonds. Then, after battling Rolen through several foul balls on a 1-2 count, including one that Rolen barely tipped, Heilman allowed a single to the Cardinals third baseman. Yadier Molina then sent a 0-1 pitch deep over the left-field wall to give St. Louis a 3-1 lead. Big number
12 -- Chavez's scintillating catch came just over the 358-foot mark in left field. Molina's home run in the ninth traveled 12 feet longer. Game balls
Five balls -- Perez kept the Mets in the game long enough for them to have a chance to win. He created and got out of trouble often. In the third inning, with the score tied, 1-1, David Eckstein led off with a double. The left-hander then struck out Preston Wilson. With first base open, Perez intentionally walked Albert Pujols. Perez then forced Juan Encarnacion into a double play to end the threat.
Two innings later, Perez faced a similar situation. This time, with one out and men on first and second, Perez struck out Encarnacion and got Pujols to fly out to Jose Reyes to keep the game even. His performance in his second postseason game was more than the Mets could have expected.
Sense of October
After Chavez's catch, the Mets loaded the bases with one out in the bottom half of the sixth. But Jose Valentin struck out against Suppan, and Chavez then stepped to the plate. Chavez, though, first-pitch swinging, hit a soft flare to center which Edmonds easily caught to end the inning and the threat.
"All I was thinking was, 'There's no way I'm catching that on these wheels tonight.'" -- Cliff Floyd, who was limited for most of the playoffs due to a strained left Achilles tendon, on Chavez's catch
Lines of the Game
Jose Reyes
Comment: A night after igniting the crowd and the team with his first-inning homer, Reyes came up hitless in Game 7.

Hernandez joins rare company with perfect relief
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
ANAHEIM -- In earning his first save since 2006 on Tuesday night, Roberto Hernandez became just the fourth pitcher in Rays history to record a save and a complete game in the same season.
The veteran right-hander joined Albie Lopez (2000, four complete games and two saves), Joe Kennedy ('03, one complete game and one save) and Matt Garza ('10, three complete games and one save). Hernandez also became the second player in the Major Leagues to do it this season; Garrett Richards of the Angels also turned the trick.
Hernandez threw 3 2/3 perfect innings Tuesday night in relief of Matt Moore and struck out seven of 11 batters.
According to baseball-reference.com, it was only the 12th time since 1916 a reliever pitched at least 3 2/3 perfect innings with seven or more strikeouts -- most recently Arizona's Max Scherzer (4 1/3 innings, seven strikeouts) on April 29, 2008, against Houston. Only one other American League pitcher has had a perfect relief outing as long this season. Detroit's Drew Smyly threw four perfect innings against the Yankees on April 5, striking out five.
"The difference for me, he has been really confident and calm about the whole thing," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "When he comes in and you give him the ball, he's like, let's go. It definitely gives us another tool to deal with as we move forward."
Lobaton heats up as confidence improves
ANAHEIM -- Jose Lobaton is hitting .327 with a .407 on-base percentage in 19 games since the beginning of August. Prior to that streak, he had just two hits in 29 at-bats.
The Rays catcher believes he's the most comfortable that he's ever been as a Major Leaguer, on and off the field.
"Before, I was more of a shy guy in the clubhouse, and on the field, too," Lobaton said. "You see a lot of guys like David [Price], [Evan Longoria], you don't want to get noticed too much."
Lobaton said he now feels like he belongs, which goes a long way in the confidence department.
"Everybody tells me, 'You're different this year. You're a funny guy, talking all the time,'" Lobaton said. "Before it was more like I didn't want to say anything where somebody might say, 'Look at this rookie, he's talking too much.'"
Even Lobaton's body language at the plate looks different.
"I've got a lot of guys here who helped me with that," Lonbaton said. "When you're struggling, don't show it with your body language. [Alex] Torres told me one day, 'You're struggling right now, you're a little bit down, don't show anybody that. Be aggressive no matter what. You're 0-for-3, but be ready to hit.' That worked for me."
Lobaton went 1-for-5 in Tuesday night's 7-1 win against the Angels.
"I'm happy when I hit, like yesterday I got one hit," Lobaton said. "But I was really happy that we won."
Delmon adjusts quickly at plate, in clubhouse
ANAHEIM -- Tuesday night, Delmon Young made his first start with the Rays since Sept. 29, 2007, prior to his trade to the Twins on Nov. 28, 2007.
The Rays signed the 27-year-old to a Minor League contract on Aug. 22. After a stint at Double-A Montgomery to sharpen up his timing against live pitching, Young joined the team on Sunday. Young went 2-for-5 Tuesday night, making him 3-for-8 since joining the team.
Prior to playing Sunday against Oakland, Young's last Major League game was Aug. 8, when he suited up for the Phillies against the Cubs. Young downplayed the work he had to do to get ready to play again.
"I had already been playing all year, so it wasn't like I was going into the beginning of the season without playing," Young said. "I just had to do a couple of simple things and then repeat them."
Young smiled when asked how being back with his old team has been thus far.
"It's pretty awesome," Young said. "Especially how laid back it is. This is how baseball teams should be: very loose and able to be yourself, and enjoy yourself while you're in the clubhouse."
And to be making a contribution so quickly as he did in Tuesday night's win?
"Just to get a win," Young said. "You don't want to go into Sept. 1 with a playoff spot and Sept. 29 without one. It was nice to get a win, because the teams trailing us and the teams in front of us, they're winning. So we need to keep winning and try to gain as much ground as we can on Boston before the big series at home."
Rays manager Joe Maddon called Young a "pleasure" when asked about having him back in his clubhouse.
"So far, among the guys inside, he's been great," Maddon said. "You can tell there's a difference in the maturity level in how he goes about his business. It's been very easy having him back."

The downtown Chattanooga coffee shop scene has been around a while, and Greyfriar's Coffee & Tea Company has been fueling their customers with unique coffees and breakfast offerings for quite some time.
Jack Howland
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (UTC/TheLoop)— For the better part of a decade, Greyfriar's Coffee and Tea Company has been serving Chattanoogans quality coffee and pastries from the little shop at the corner of 4th and Broad streets.
Greyfriar's is a full service coffee shop that features house roasted coffee, cappuccinos, lattes, and mochas and also specializes in such breakfast offerings as pastries, bagels, cakes and pies, all of which are baked in house.
The shop, along with the roastery, has inhabited the same building, located at 406 Broad St., since its inception.
Greyfriar's coffee selection typically features seven to ten different single origin roasts and blends at a time, the shop's head roaster, Kevin Ricks, said.
However, Ricks added that he is constantly experimenting with blends and each bean's flavor profiles of caramel, or chocolate, or berries or even spices and how to harmoniously unify each characteristic.
"As far as blends, we don't really serve them in the shop," Ricks added, "We do blends for different restaurants."
Ricks added that in addition to Greyfriar's, their coffee is also served at Big River Grille, 222 Broad St., and Neidlov's Breadworks, 215 East Main St.
However, their coffee can only be purchased in the coffee shop or online, though Ricks recommends customers call before ordering to be insured of the freshest and most available coffee selections.
"The big companies have more priority and the market prices for greens keep rising, but the projections for next year's beans are much better than this year's," Ricks said.
Greens are the coffee beans before they are roasted.
Ricks began his coffee shop experience on the retail end, but moved to being the roaster for Greyfriar's in June of this year. Ricks said he is completely fascinated by the nuances of roasting coffee.
"I had not roasted before, but the opportunity presented itself. It's a lot of fun, I learn something new every day," Ricks said.
Ricks added that he would like to see the shop grow both retail and wholesale wise and also expand to offer more lunch offerings for their food menu.
"I want the shop to continue being a second home for people, to where they can feel comfortable and enjoy the laid back atmosphere," Ricks said.

Rhett Walker
Exclusive GRAMMY.com Interview With Rhett Walker
Current 55th GRAMMY nominee/contemporary Christian singer Rhett Walker recently visited The Recording Academy's Nashville Chapter and participated in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview. Walker discussed the Nashville music scene, songwriting and his debut album, Come To The River, among other topics.
"These songs I've been writing for years and I finally had the opportunity to kind of put them all on one record and put it out," said Walker. "[Come To The River] was a long time coming, and I'm super grateful and I'm super blessed to do it and let people hear my heart and where I come from."
South Carolina native Rhett Walker is the frontman of his Christian rock band, which also features drummer Kenny Davis and guitarist Joe Kane. Formed in 2011, Rhett Walker Band released their debut single, "When Mercy Found Me," in April 2012. The track peaked at No. 15 on Billboard's Christian Songs chart and garnered Walker a 55th GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Song as the song's co-writer. Released in July 2012, Rhett Walker Band's debut album, Come To The River, peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's Christian Albums chart and features 10 tracks written or co-written by Walker. The band released a four-track EP, The Other Sides, in December 2012, and are currently on a U.S. tour with dates scheduled through April.

You know that "Living Literary Legend" Philip Roth? He just turned 75. He wrote that thing about chicken liver. And he's still writing. His latest novel, Indignation, is coming out in September, far enough away that Roth hasn't even had his requisite fawning profile in the Times. But Scott Rudin has already bought up the movie rights in a seven-figure deal. Hey, you think being a recluse is cheap? It ain't. The only problem is that Philip Roth movies are never good. Why not?
For one, Philip Roth is a charmer. He can make Terry Gross giggle like a school girl. His characters are often nihilistic, immoral and selfish, but in Roth's rendering still come off as likable and relatable. The fact that women can like a book like Portnoy's Complaint, where they are routinely objectified, speaks to Roth's insane talent as a writer. But it's hard to film obsessive masturbation as beautifully as Roth can write it.
Without Roth's touch, his storylines turn to shit. Take the The Human Stain. The Times called the book "beautifully nuanced" and the adaption an "honorable B+ term paper of a movie."
So this movie deal is a mistake. Why is Roth going through with it? $$$ is the easy answer, but the first guy who lived to see his work published by the Library of America probably doesn't need it, even if heating his Connecticut manor is expensive. There's also glamor. Rumor has it that Roth bedded Nicole Kidman and then called a publishing buddy to brag about it. Which pretty much seems like exactly the sort of thing a Roth protagonist would do, so you can't say Kidman shoulda been surprised.
But why do women fall prey to Roth's charms? For that, we turn to my subconscious.
A few weeks ago, I had a dream that Philip Roth was being very nice to me. A friend said, "But he's Philip Roth, you know what that means," to which I replied, "Yeah, but he's Philip Roth!"
Such charisma doesn't film well.

The ordinance, which was adopted by a 9-3 vote, will change the courthouse's hours of operation to 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They have been 8-5.
The change came about due to the inconvenience of staggering employees' shifts. Currently, a group of courthouse employees work from 8-4:30, and another group comes in half an hour later and works from 8:30-5.
"We have a crew coming in at 8 and getting off at 4:30, and people coming in at 8:30 and getting off at 5," Pope County Judge Jim Ed Gibson said. "That means that the offices were understaffed the first part of the day and the end of the day. We have courthouse security here, so that meant we have to bring another officer in here for part of the day."
"Those things all cost money," he continued. "We need to be looking at every way we can to save, whether it's a penny, dime, nickel or dollar."
The courthouse's current hours were previously approved in 2009 and was a hotly debated issue for many area residents.
Gibson said employees will work the same amount of hours as before, but that there will be uniformity in their shifts.
"We just think that we all need to come to work at the same time, and get off work at the same time," he said.
David Ivy, a justice of the peace who voted against the ordinance, disagreed with Gibson, saying that the new hours do not represent a full workday, which causes concern for Pope County residents.
"Nobody that I've talked to thinks it should've been changed," he said. "Normal business hours are from 8 to 5. If you talk to people who work every day, 8-to-5 is a workday."
"You can cover 8-to-5 by simply alternating your lunch hours," he added. "You don't have to split the shifts up. You can just stagger the lunches and no one loses any time."
The change in hours will take effect March 18.

Snyder, who is a special education teacher, said creativity in her special education classroom is daily routine.
"Creativity in the special education classroom is part of the daily lesson plan," she said. "What makes this job awesome is being able to witness the miracle of success in the faces of my students."
A sixth-grade math teacher, Gray said she was very pleased at receiving a nomination.
"The nomination completely caught me by surprise," Gray said. "I teach with a lot of great teachers, all of whom go above and beyond when it comes to teaching. I am greatly honored a student would nominate me for this award."
The Disney Teacher Award program honors those teachers whose approaches exemplify creativity in teaching and who inspire a joy of learning in their students, according to a press release.
"Sixteen years ago, we started celebrating local heroes by establishing the annual Disney Teacher Awards to celebrate and honor America's finest educators," Terry Wick, vice president of Disney Worldwide Outreach, said. "This nomination process shows thousands of teachers across the country how much their work means to their students, colleagues and communities."
The teachers' applications for the Teacher of the Year awards will include letters of recommendation and several professional reflection essays that describe their classrooms and their approach to teaching.
According to the press release, the nominee applications will be reviewed by a committee composed of education experts from around the country.
The committee will also select the 2006 Disney Teacher Award honorees.
The honorees will be announced in the spring and will be recognized at a red-carpet awards gala in July 2006.
During the gala, four of the honorees will be selected as Outstanding Teachers and one will be named the 2006 Disney Teacher of the Year.
Honorees will each receive $10,000 and a $5,000 grant for their school and a six-day professional development institute with their principals at the Walt Disney World Resort.
At the institute, teachers will share ideas to refine their innovative teaching approaches and learn how to engage other teachers to build an effective collaborative teacher culture at their schools.

Summaries of EU Legislation

UCITS: organisational requirements and rules of conduct
Following the recast of the Directive on undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS), the European Commission intends to take measures concerning rules of conduct and organisational requirements for investment companies. This Directive reflects that intention, laying down administrative procedures, and control and risk management mechanisms for UCITS.
Commission Directive 2010/43/EU of 1 July 2010 implementing Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards organisational requirements, conflicts of interest, conduct of business, risk management and content of the agreement between a depositary and a management company (Text with EEA relevance).
This Directive is an implementing measure of the Directive on the rules applying to UCITS. It specifies the organisational requirements with which management companies managing UCITS must comply, as well as rules of conduct and rules on handling conflicts of interest. Furthermore, the Directive establishes requirements concerning the risk management process for UCITS.
Entities concerned by the Directive
This Directive applies to:
- management companies which manage UCITS;
- depositaries;
- investment companies that have not designated a management company.
Administrative procedures and control mechanism
Management companies have a duty to:
- implement decision-making procedures, and an organisational structure;
- ensure that information is transmitted to the relevant persons * in the proper way;
- implement appropriate internal control mechanisms;
- maintain records of their business and internal organisation.
Management companies must safeguard the security, integrity and confidentiality of information.
They must put in place operational accounting procedures in such a way that all assets and liabilities of the UCITS can be directly identified at all times. The accounting procedures must be in accordance with the accounting rules of the UCITS' home Member States.
As regards internal control mechanisms, the senior management of management companies are responsible for general investment policy. They oversee the approval of investment strategies for each UCITS.
Management companies must ensure permanent compliance. This consists of evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the measures taken to address any failures of the management company in complying with its obligations. Compliance also consists of advising and assisting the persons responsible for carrying out the services and activities of the management company. This work is to be carried out by a person designated for this purpose.
Management companies shall be responsible for maintaining a risk management function at all times, independently of operational units, in particular responsible for:
- implementing the risk management policy and procedures;
- ensuring compliance with the UCITS risk limit system;
- providing advice to the board of directors as regards the identification of the risk profile of each managed UCITS;
- reviewing and supporting the arrangements and procedures for the valuation of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives.
Management companies shall put in place a procedure to prevent certain relevant persons * from:
- performing a personal financial transaction or advising another person to perform such a transaction;
- divulging information that might influence the behaviour of other persons as regards the choice of their transactions.
Portfolio transactions must be recorded in order facilitate future reconstructions of the details of the order, as must be subscription and redemption orders. These records are then to be retained for at least five years.
Conflict of interests
The following situations may lead to conflicts of interest, where:
- the management company is likely to make a financial gain, or avoid a financial loss, at the expense of the UCITS;
- the management company has an interest in the outcome of a service provided to the UCITS or another client which does not share the interests of the UCITS;
- the management company has an incentive to favour the interest of another client;
- the management company carries out the same activities for the UCITS as for another client;
- the management company receives money, goods or services illegally.
Management companies are therefore obliged to define in writing an effective policy as regards conflict of interest, which preserves the independence of the relevant persons.
Rules of conduct
Management companies must treat UCITS unit-holders * fairly. Where they have carried out a subscription or redemption order for a unit-holder, they must send the unit-holder notice containing in particular the following information:
- the management company identification;
- the name of the unit-holder;
- the date and time of receipt of the order and method of payment;
- the date of execution;
- the UCITS identification;
- the number of units involved.
Management companies are not permitted to carry out a UCITS order in aggregate with an order of another UCITS or another client or with an order on their own account.
Risk management
Management companies must implement an operational risk management policy. They are to calculate the global exposure of the UCITS once a day.
Key terms of the Act
- Relevant person: in relation to a management company shall mean a director, partner or equivalent, or manager of the management company, an employee of the management company, as well as any other natural person whose services are placed at the disposal and under the control of the management company and who is involved in the provision by the management company of collective portfolio management, or a natural person who is directly involved in the provision of services to the management company under a delegation arrangements to third parties for the purpose of the provision by the management company of collective portfolio management.
- Unit-holder: any natural or legal person holding one or more units in a UCITS.

Obito says that he wants Kakashi to die... but instead he has been drawing X's on his chest, and trying to teleport him to his box world r**e dimension instead of simply snapping his neck or decapitating him.
Kakashi is supposedly taking this seriously, but what does he do when Obito's body is completely vulnerable to him? He does a simple jab. No Raikiri through the heart, just a jab to the kidneys.
This is getting ridiculous. This is Naruto/Sasuke type of b****hit.

Fredi not overly concerned by high K rate
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
ATLANTA -- As the Braves struggled offensively throughout the disappointing 10-game road trip that concluded on Sunday night, weather and the schedule limited them to take batting practice on the field just four times.
After getting back to their homes a little after 3 a.m. ET on Monday, B.J. Upton, Freddie Freeman and Jordan Schafer caught a few hours of sleep and then came to Turner Field to take batting practice under the bright Atlanta sun.
"It's nice to get home and get some work in ourselves," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "When you're on the road, you can't get as much work done as you do at home."
While those three players were far from the only Braves who struggled during the 3-7 trip, they all could benefit from the extra work. Upton batted .167 (6-for-36) with 15 strikeouts on the trip, and Freeman hit .182 (4-for-22) after coming off the disabled list on April 23.
Schafer, who batted leadoff for the second straight night on Monday, hit .235 (4-for-17) and recorded a more encouraging .381 on-base percentage while playing in eight games during the trip.
"We just need to get consistent," Gonzalez said. "We've got Justin [Upton] and Chris Johnson and [Evan] Gattis hitting. We've just got to get some of the other guys hitting and showing us the numbers on the back of the baseball cards. That will come."
The Braves have lived up to the expectations of being a team that will strike out quite frequently. In fact, while striking out a National League high 224 times entering play Monday (their 25th game of the season), they might have actually exceeded the expected rate. The Reds ranked second in the NL with 212 strikeouts while playing two more games than Atlanta.
With their strikeout total, the Braves have broken the franchise record for the most strikeouts during the season's opening month (any games played in March and April). The 2006 team (192 strikeouts in 24 games) and 2011 teams (192 strikeouts in 28 games) had previously shared the highest total.
"I think the strikeouts are OK," Gonzalez said. "There are certain points of the game where they are not OK, and those are the ones that put a dagger in your gut. For instance, a man on third and nobody out or a man on third with one out, when they're giving you a run by playing the infield back. Those are the ones, if you keep missing scoring opportunities, they're going to come back to haunt you."
Heyward still feeling effects of appendectomy
ATLANTA -- Jason Heyward returned to Turner Field on Monday feeling sore, fatigued and fortunate that members of the Braves medical staff took him to a Denver hospital last week before his appendix burst.
"I'm just glad I quit trying to tough something out," Heyward said. "If I didn't, then it could have been a lot worse."
After spending four days with the assumption that he was battling a stomach virus, Heyward grew concerned when abdominal pain prevented him from sleeping after the Braves arrived in Denver on April 21.
"I tried to lay on my side, couldn't do it," Heyward said. "I tried to lay on my other side, couldn't do it. If I laid on my back, it was OK. If I moved, it was hurting me for at least 30 minutes, regardless of what was going on. It felt like a lump on my right side. So I knew it was no longer a stomach ache."
Braves trainer Jeff Porter and longtime team doctor Joe Chandler examined Heyward the following morning and sent him to the emergency room at Rose Medical Center.
Heyward underwent a series of tests, including a CT scan that showed an enlarged appendix. His request to return to Atlanta was denied by doctors, who told him he needed to undergo an immediate appendectomy before his appendix burst.
One week later, Heyward is still feeling the effects of the 15-minute surgical procedure. His voice still sounds a little weak and he has not yet regained his normal sleep pattern. The 23-year-old right fielder is still moving around cautiously and obeying orders not to lift anything heavy, including his dog.
"It's easier to get up and down right now from the sitting-down position," Heyward said. "But after that, my body is still sensitive in the abdominal area. There's a feeling that I could pull something. Not that I will. But that is just the feeling if I try to do something too quick."
While Heyward has gripped a bat and watched video of his at-bats over the past week, he will not be permitted to do anything strenuous for at least another week. Once he regains some more strength and becomes more confident, he will gradually begin resuming baseball-related activities.
It is still too early for Heyward to set a definitive timetable for his return to Atlanta's lineup. But he is hoping to be back at least by the time the Braves play the Mets in New York from May 24-26.
"My goal is no later than New York at the end of May," Heyward said. "But again, I have to wait until my body tells me. If I can come back sooner, awesome. I hope it's not later than New York. But again, I have to do something to see how my body is going to react."
Fredi: There'd be no issue with gay player
ATLANTA -- Former Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collins drew widespread attention when it was revealed on Monday that this week's Sports Illustrated will include an essay in which he admits that he is gay.
While Major League Baseball has not yet had an active player admit that he is gay, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is among those who have said they would not view this as a problem within their own clubhouse.
"Being the manager of a Major League team, I could really [care less] if the guy is gay, white, black, green, Chinese or whatever," Gonzalez said. "If he helps us win a ballgame, I don't care. You treat guys like they're baseball players or football players or whatever. It doesn't bother me whatsoever."
While not saying that gay athletes would face the same hatred and inequalities that Jackie Robinson and some of baseball's other African-American pioneers experienced, Gonzalez said those that follow in Collins' footsteps could serve as an inspiration for homosexual athletes who have been reluctant to admit their sexual orientation.
"It's almost like the color barrier," Gonzalez said. "Not to the extent, but it's close. If there is a guy out there that can help you win some ballgames at any level in any sport, why not?"

text: I picked this set up from Amazon. It comes with a nice little booklet as well as the three films nicely transferred onto BluRay. I haven't watched the films yet, but I have watched some of the special features. I particularly liked the feature on the Batmoblie in many of its incarnations. I am looking forward to watching the films in succession again. I've really enjoyed Nolan's trilogy overall and if nothing else I like the generally coherent and comprehensive world he created for Batman. Sure it isn't real and still takes liberties, but it often seems like it could be real. Nolan straddled that line nicely enough. It will be interesting to see the next direction taken with Batman and his world.

text: While I was skimming through Voyages of the Imagination, I noticed that the DS9 Relaunch started 10 years ago this May. Since most people seem to consider that the beginning of the big 24th century story, I thought it might be fun to look back at what those 10 years have given us. I've always been a big Trek fan, but it was the books that really made me an even bigger Trek fan. Honestly, if it weren't for the books, I don't know how much I would even be into Trek today. I started reading the books when I was about 13 or 14, and really played a big role in turning me into the avid reader I am today, and I will be forever grateful for his. This was about the same time that I first started having medical problems, which I am still trying to get answers about, and I really think Trek Lit helped me get through some of these difficulties. Some of my favorite things the Novelverse has given us in no particular order: The USS Titan and her crew The Titan series Vanguard the Borg's transformation in Destiny Elias Vaughn KRAD David Mack The Ward/Dilmore duo Christopher L.

As multiple consumers cause it to reseed itself from a separate, strong random source, it is expected to produce consistently unpredictable results for cryptographic purposes. A configurable number of tests from the Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators must be passed before output data is sent to the client. It may be be useful in low-entropy environments, such as compute clouds, for generating high quality key material for strong cryptography.

Michael Jackson's lips were tattooed pink, autopsy reveals
A photograph of Michael Jackson's naked corpse was laid bare to the jury examining the question of the pop icon's wrongful death on Tuesday, giving insight for the first time into the truth of Jackson's claims about his rare pigmentation disease.
A lawyer for the singer's family showed an autopsy photograph of the singer, which according to CNN, "looked nothing like the world's most famous entertainer".
In his autopsy report, Dr Christopher Rogers recorded that the front of Jackson's scalp was tattooed black in order to blend his hairline in with the wigs he wore, while his lips were tattooed pink and his eyebrows were a dark tattoo, the news service reports.
The autopsy confirmed Jackson's skin tone became lighter in the 1980s because he had "vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disease", Rogers said.
Dr Rogers is expected to give further evidence at the trial, which had earlier heard how Michael Jackson's doctor, Dr Conrad Murray, was a ''mismatch'' unsuitable to care for the singer on his doomed 2009 tour.
Jackson was well known to have a history of sleep problems and abusing painkillers, Dr Daniel Wohlgelernter told the trial where Jackson's 82-year-old mother is suing tour promoter AEG Live for negligently hiring Murray.
Dr Wohlgelernter, a trained heart specialist like Murray - who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 - also criticised Jackson's former physician for using the anaesthetic propofol, and for his actions the day Jackson died.
''My opinion is that Conrad Murray repeatedly failed [to meet] the standard of care in his treatment of Michael Jackson,'' he said.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009 from an overdose of propofol, administered by Murray to help the singer sleep after rehearsals in Los Angeles for a series of concerts in London and his planned This Is It world tour.
Dr Wohlgelernter said Murray made repeated mistakes, including using propofol outside of a hospital, leaving Jackson unattended, focusing on his heart rather than breathing when he found him apparently lifeless, and delaying calling 911.
''My opinion is that these departures from the standard of care... were a substantial factor in the death of Michael Jackson,'' said the senior cardiologist, brought as a witness by Katherine Jackson's lawyers.
Jackson's health problems were well known: he had cut short his 1993 tour titled Dangerous and announced he had a drug addiction, notably to painkillers following treatment for burns to the scalp suffered during a Pepsi advert shoot in 1984.
Murray had no specialised training for such problems and was not specialised in drug addiction or insomnia.
''For Michael Jackson, given that he had no history of heart disease... a cardiologist's experience and skills and credentials would not be appropriate.
''It's a mismatch, it's not what he needs,'' he said, adding: ''My opinion is that Dr Murray was not an appropriate choice to serve as Michael Jackson's physician on the This Is It tour.''

Americans Abroad
By Robert Wagman (in Washington, D.C.)
(Tuesday, September 25, 2012) -- German-American defender Fabian Johnson scored an equalizer in the first half and German-American midfielder Danny Williams found net for an insurance goal in stoppage time to give TSG 1899 Hoffenheim a 3-1 come-from-behind upset of Hannover 96 Sunday in the German Bundesliga.
Long-time U.S. defender and Hannover captain Steve Cherundolo was victimized by Johnson on his tally.
All three are part of the U.S.'s current effort to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
Hoffenheim, at home, went down a goal in the 26th minute on an own-goal from Matthieu Delpierre, trying to clear a hard cross.
Just a minute later, Johnson victimized Cherundolo with a dazzling display of control. He flipped the ball over Cherundolo with a back heel, cut around him to regain control and whipped a shot past goalkeeper Robert Zieler in one continuous motion.
Hoffenheim finally broke the 1-1 deadlock in the 82nd minute on midfielder Sejad Salihovic's strike and Williams capped off the scoring in the 91st minute, placing his first Bundesliga goal into an open net.
Two U.S. standouts made their first starts with new teams. In Spain's Segunda (Second) División, defender Carlos Bocanegra went 90 minutes for Racing Santander in a 1-0 victory over Mirandes, extending recently-demoted Racing's unbeaten streak to five games (3-0-2) as it seeks to quickly win back promotion.
Midfielder Clint Dempsey, meanwhile, played 88 minutes for Tottenham Hotspur in a 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers Sunday in the English Premier League. He didn't score, still trying to find his way with his new teammates.
American keeper Brad Friedel had three saves for Spurs.
In other Premier League action, U.S. keeper Brad Guzan had a less pleasurable afternoon, making four saves and receiving a yellow card for Aston Villa in its 4-1 loss to Southampton.
U.S. defender Eric Lichaj played the first 68 minutes and also received a yellow card for Villa.
U.S. keeper Tim Howard, however, had a solid weekend, making four saves for Everton in a 3-0 decision over Swansea City.
U.S. defender Geoff Cameron played a strong 90 minutes on the right side of Stoke City's defense Saturday in a tight 1-0 road loss to Chelsea.
U.S. midfielder Maurice Edu was not dressed for Stoke.
In the second-division English League Championship, the only American to see action last weekend was defender Jonathan Spector, who went 90 minutes for Birmingham City in a 5-0 loss to Barnsley.
American midfielder-defender Will Packwood did not dress for Birmingham.
American defender Zak Whitbread dressed, but did not play for Leicester City, while Irish-American striker Conor Doyle dressed, but did not play for Derby County.
U.S. defender Tim Ream once again did not dress for Bolton Wanderers, a 2-1 winner over Sheffield Wednesday. U.S. midfielder Stuart Holden (knee surgery) continues to be a long-term rehab project for Bolton.
In the third division League One, American defender Frank Simek went the distance for Carlisle United in a 2-1 triumph over Coventry City.
American forward Mike Grella was on the bench for Scunthorpe United in a 1-0 victory over Colchester United, while midfielder Robbie Rogers did not dress for Stevenage in a 1-1 draw with Doncaster Rovers.
In the German Bundesliga, German-American midfielder Jermaine Jones, despite the hard knock he received in Schalke 04's European Champions League victory, played the first 78 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich.
German-American defender Timmy Chandler played the first 70 minutes for 1. FC Nürnberg in a 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt.
American keeper David Yelldell did not dress for Bayer Leverkusen in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In the second-tier 2. Bundesliga, striker Andrew Wooten was the only American to see action, playing the final 36 minutes for SV Sandhausen in its 3-0 loss to SC Paderborn.
American midfielder Joe Gyau dressed, but did not play for FC St. Pauli in a 2-1 loss to Frankfurt.

Is Unpopular TAG an Appropriate MBL Partner?
The Transaction Account Guarantee extension, which both CUNA and NAFCU are both pushing to package with member business lending legislation, could be losing steam in Congress despite the recent introduction of S. 3637 by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
On Nov. 27, The Financial Services Roundtable, an advocacy group representing the 100 largest financial services companies, said in a letter from President/CEO Tim Pawlenty to Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that not only have bank balance sheets improved since TAG was extended in 2010, continuing the program "may create the misperception of instability, at the very time that the financial services sector has made significant and positive reforms."
Independent Community Bankers of America President/CEO Camden Fine took to Twitter on Monday in response, likening the FSR to "It's a Wonderful Life" villain Henry Potter. Fine said on Twitter, "As the FSR TAG letter shows once again, Mr. Potter is still trying to vacuum up Main Street and Bedford Falls - ICBA & George Bailey will fight it."
Adding to the tide of TAG disfavor, on Monday consultant Robert J. Shapiro emailed Credit Union Times a copy of a report he authored in October that also recommends letting TAG expire on Dec. 31, 2012.
Shapiro, who has advised world leaders such as President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the International Monetary Fund and international business firms in his role as chairman of Sonecon LLC, said unlimited deposit insurance increases moral hazard and represents a threat to the nation's long-term financial stability.
"Based on economic reasoning and analysis, we conclude that extending the current, unlimited transaction account guarantee would be harmful to the stability and competitiveness of the U.S. banking sector," Shapiro wrote in the report.
He also added that programs like TAG, which have no limit on deposit coverage, increase the likelihood of another banking crisis because banks engage in riskier behavior.
A Capitol Hill insider who asked to remain anonymous said a Democrat Senate staffer who used to call the extension of TAG all but guaranteed now says the program has only a one-in-10 chance of passing. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has spoken out against the extension and the FDIC has not taken a position.
Where does that leave credit unions, who had hoped to hitch their MBL wagon to TAG to create a credit union-bank compromise package that would be palatable to Congress?
CUNA spokesman Pat Keefe said Monday there's no question TAG has its warts, but it still serves as a starting point for a legislation package.
"We'll continue to look for ways to match in legislation our needs with those of other community based financial institutions that could advance during this lame duck session," he said.
Keefe also took a shot at bankers, saying "the fact that the TAG bill is earning more detractors than supporters, at this stage, should be a signal to the banks that they need all the help they can get … including packaging their bill with credit union business lending legislation."

Affinity Card Reward Help Credit Unions Stand Out
Even though affinity card issuing may have a become a more difficult regulatory and economic challenge, some credit unions have begun to find payments success by launching affinity card rewards programs, credit union card executives report.
Just as affinity card issuing allows banks and some credit unions to issue cards in conjunction with a local group or association and market the cards based on that association, affinity card rewards enable credit unions to offer reward point redemption options that are tied to a given locale or community. Or they allow cardholders to use their points and generate points to help a local charity or other nonprofit. Each functions, the executives explained, as a way of personalizing and characterizing a financial product that could be seen as a financial commodity, a card much like any other financial institutions' card, and make it more appealing to members.
Credit unions using the programs say they significantly increase usage and interchange income from both debit and credit card portfolios as well as often carry a lower cost of rewards because area merchants will frequently fund at least part of the effort.
Steve VanFleet, CEO of RewardsNOW, a loyalty marketing firm that is a leader in the developing the new kind of rewards program, explained that the new card programs please consumers and cardholders because they allow them to support local merchants or towns or charities while local retailers like the programs because it enables them to know that the promotion dollars spent in rewards program are more targeted and more likely to generate increased sales and income.
"We consider local rewards programs a win for everybody," VanFleet said. "Both consumers and retailers find additional value and meaning in local rewards, they just provide more meaningful added value."
One credit union that has found success with the new approach has been the 86,000-member $620 million Michigan First Credit Union, headquartered in Lathrup Village, Mich. a suburb of Detroit.
Michigan First consolidated its previous three card programs (two Visa platforms and a legacy MasterCard program), none of which had rewards, into a new program it dubbed the Experience Michigan First Rewards Visa card, a credit card with a rewards program aimed at spurring economic activity at local retailers and at local travel destinations.
In addition to the usual rewards options like travel miles or gift cards to national retailers, the new card offers rewards that allows members to choose from Michigan-made products or popular Michigan destinations when they redeem rewards points.
The results have been electric. Michigan First reported that it had opened 1,000 new accounts from the new card.
"In light of the economic times and the pride we're sharing in Michigan's recovery, we thought it would be great to offer a program that somehow gave back to the local economy," said Linda Douglas, vice president of marketing at Michigan First.
Michigan First reported that three months after launching their program in April, the new card saw an increase of nearly $1 million in new balances in 90 days.
"We're shooting for a total of $5 million in new balances by year's end," said Douglas.
Michael Poulos, CEO of Michigan First gave some of the credit for the card's success to the strong desire among many Michigan residents to help improve the state's financial and economic base.
"Michigan had been hit so badly economically that I think there was a push among a lot of people to try to do what they could to help build things up," he explained. He also said the credit union had provided a number of designs for the new card that would illustrate some noted state landmark or attraction. The card designs helped people choose the new cards, he added.
Meanwhile, the 58,000-member $721 million Texas Trust Credit Union has found significant success with a debit card rewards program that allows cardholders to drive income to local school districts. The credit union distributed $110,000 to the schools, proceeds from funds generated by its members using the Spirit Debit Rewards cards between July 2011 and August 2012.
Any member of the credit union can sign up for one of the card by selecting the school or school district that will receive the funds. The credit union then gives the member the card with a design that represents the chosen school or district. Thereafter, each card holder use generates 15 cents per use for the designated school, about half of the credit union's average debit interchange of 32 cents.
"I know that many people hear 15 cents and think it's not very much, but it does add up," said Amber Danford, vice president of marketing for the credit union. "We have been thrilled at the way these schools have taken to the Spirit Debit Card."
The credit union, which has a community field of membership that encompasses three Dallas area counties, already had a relationship with some of the schools and school districts, Danford explained. The credit union already had student branches in two of the schools, for example.
"Texas Trust is an invaluable community partner. The credit union is continuously working with us to find creative ways to support our students, faculty and schools," said Bob Morrison, superintendent of Mansfield Independent School District, one of the four that participated in the program. "The Spirit Debit Reward Card has been a great tool to help us raise money for the classroom, without requiring any extra effort or work."
Danford said the cards have been popular with students, teachers, administrators, parents and alumni, and there has been competition among the districts for which one can earn the highest amount of income per card.
She also reported that all the activity around the cards, which carry designs produced by students at the schools, has meant that debit cards affiliated with the program now account for 14% of the credit union's overall debit card portfolio. "I am always running into people who want to know where they can get one of those Spirit cards," she said.

TI drives DSPs into digital-security arena
Post a comment
Texas Instruments Inc. is pushing its DSPs into an emerging market with multibillion-dollar potential: digital-recorder security.
Panasonic Co.'s Security and Digital Imaging unit has introduced a digital recorder based on TI's TMS320C6x DSP. Targeted at small to midsize businesses, the recorder provides about three times the image storage capacity found in traditional analog security systems based on VHS tapes, TI said.
The company contends that DSP-based digital hard-disk controllers will have wide appeal in commercial and residential security systems.
"We're in the early stages of the move to change the storage media from analog tape to digital hard disks," said Vincent McNeil, worldwide network-camera business manager at TI. "DSPs are ideal for processing images and visual data, and there's an explosion now in what you can put on the Internet with the increase in broadband connectivity."
Digital hard-disk recorders are expected to provide a number of advantages over analog systems, McNeil said. The hard-disk controllers are much more rugged and reliable than VHS tape, provide improved resolution and picture quality, and can be programmed, monitored, and digitally manipulated remotely via an Internet connection.
Traditional security systems have multiple closed-circuit TV cameras that feed into a central control room where the images are recorded onto a VHS tape. In many cases, the systems use time-lapse recording techniques to collect data from the multiple cameras, and recording is often reduced to one to five frames per second to preserve tape space, which reduces picture quality, McNeil said.
Digital hard-disk systems can be programmed to operate in an event-driven recording mode, so that recording occurs only when motion is detected, allowing improved recordings of 15 frames/s. The system can also be set up to record constantly at 1 frame/s, and increase to 15 frames/s when motion is detected.
Customers needing to review analog security tapes must search manually for specific timed events. A digital recorder can automatically mark recordings for data, time, and alarm events for instant access, McNeil said.
Security officials and business owners will also be able to access security monitoring systems via Internet links, as opposed to having to be physically present at a central office to view the analog tapes.
"A guy who owns a franchised 7-11 and gets an alarm in the middle of the night can dial up on his computer and see what's going on," McNeil said. "In residential security, you could put cameras around the house, and when you go out of town you can dial up and check on the house. If someone went in the yard, you'd get an e-mail."
The worldwide market for video cameras, digital recorders, and networked digital video servers should total about $1.1 billion this year and is expected to grow at a 25% compound annual rate, according to security market research firm J.P. Freeman Co. Inc., New Town, Conn.
"The emergence of networked digital video in the security industry is an accelerating growth trend as a widening array of video applications are created by different user groups," said Joe Freeman, president and chief executive of J.P. Freeman. "It's quite possible to see explosive growth in the residential market as innovations steadily merge security electronics into home control networks."
McNeil said TI is working with several OEMs on digital hard-disk controllers, although Panasonic is the only company to announce a product. Panasonic's WJ-HD100 should be available in the third quarter, and will provide 24 hours of continuous time-lapse operation.
"TI's digital-recorder-engine solution assisted Panasonic in developing a cost-effective, reliable, and competitive digital-recorder product, and provided design flexibility for performance upgrades that are fully compatible with existing software," said Takayoshi Hasegawa, general manager of the Audio-Video Systems Division at MCI/Panasonic.
TI's DSP-based digital-recorder solution will support all common digital image and video compression formats, including Motion JPEG, H.263, MPEG-4, and JPEG2000, as well as compressed-udio digital formats such as G.711, G.723, and G.726, McNeil said.
TI competitor Analog Devices Inc., Norwood, Mass., is targeting the video-surveillance market with its ADV601, a DSP optimized for video processing, according to a company spokeswoman.

Census Director Apologizes for the word "Negro" on the Census formMonday, March 29th, 2010
From the New York Times:
When Robert Groves, the director of the Census Bureau, appeared on C-Span's "Washington Journal" program Friday morning, he found himself having to defend the racial designations on the census form.
A female caller posed this question: "I am black. I did not appreciate the black, the African-American, and Negro. … I do not like that…. It really hurt my feelings … that to me is racist."
Mr. Groves, who has dealt with the 'Negro' designation before, apologized once again, explaining that before the 2000 Census began, there were many older African-Americans who called themselves "Negro."
He also said he doubted that the category would still be around for the next census:
The intent of every word on the race and ethnicity questions is to be as inclusive as possible so that all of us could see a word here that rings a bell for us. […] It was not to be offensive, and again I apologize on that. My speculation is that, in 2020, that word will disappear, and there are going to be other words that are going to change.

With Luck gone to the National Football League, this year's Stanford offense rests on Taylor's sturdy shoulders. For the senior, that means not only racking up rushing yards, but also becoming a team leader.
"I'm going to lead in my own way," Taylor said in a Monday morning press conference leading up to Friday's season opener in Stanford Stadium against visiting San Jose State at 7 p.m. "I need to be a little more vocal. Not necessarily all rah-rah type vocal, but when there are things that need to be addressed, I'll have them addressed."
Taylor's teammates recognize his role as a leader on this year's squad, electing him as a co-captain along with senior linebacker Chase Thomas and senior center Sam Schwartzstein.
"That was a great honor," Taylor said of being named co-captain. "Because I know I don't really talk much, I'm not really a vocal leader, so to have them vote me as a captain, I really appreciated that, and I will do whatever it takes to represent this team in the right way."
While Taylor may not say much during the game, his teammates have taken notice of the work he puts in on and off the field. The Stanford coaching staff told Taylor that he has "field credibility," and that his teammates will follow his lead.
First-year starting quarterback Josh Nunes pointed to Taylor as a model for him to mold his game after, when he recently spoke to the media. Nunes noted Taylor's work ethic and the back's serious approach to practice as some of his laudable qualities.
"Stepfan isn't the most boisterous guy, but he is one of those guys that brings his lunch pail everyday," Nunes said. "He really studies the playbook hard, and is a guy who leads by example."
Taylor's subdued demeanor is echoed in the way he has quietly put up prodigious numbers the past two seasons. In 2010, Taylor racked up 1,137 yards on the ground, which was then the second best single- season rushing total in Stanford history behind Gerhart's 1,871 in 2009.
Then in 2011, Taylor climbed even closer to the man he backed up as a freshman, rushing for 1,330 yards on 242 attempts.
"Back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons," Nunes said of Taylor. "He is as good as anyone in the country."
For a guy who has played second fiddle to Heisman hopefuls for three seasons, Taylor is also knocking on the door of some of Stanford's loftiest career records.
The senior is currently fourth in career rushing yards with 2,770. However, Taylor is only 1,263 yards shy of Darrin Nelson's record total of 4,033. If Taylor can match his rushing numbers from last season, he will easily take over the throne as Stanford's all-time rushing leader.
He currently trails Nelson, Gerhart (3,522) and Brad Muster (2,940).
Along with rushing yards, Taylor is also bearing down on the career rushing touchdowns record. After posting 15 rushing touchdowns as a sophomore, he followed it up by finding the end zone on 10 carries in 2011. Throw in two scores from his freshman campaign and Taylor's 27 rushing touchdowns is tied for third all-time with Muster. Tommy Vardell is No. 2 with 37.
It would take his best scoring year yet, though, to match Gerhart's record 44 rushing TDs, but with a first-year quarterback under center, Taylor will likely see an increased load this season.
While Taylor said he recognized that more eyes will be on him now that Luck is gone, he emphasized that you won't see a change in his game just to chase the record books.
"I didn't even know I was close before I started hearing about it (records),"Taylor said. "I'm just trying to go out here and play my best game, and those records out there, if I get 'em I get 'em, but I'm not going to try to pad my stats to hurt the team."
Some of the all-time marks Taylor is chasing belong to his former teammate and current Vikings' running back Gerhart. Taylor expressed his appreciation for the knowledge he gained under Gerhart's tutelage, knowledge that helped him transform his game.
"A lot of it is a credit to him (Gerhart), he helped me when I was young. I was grateful to have him freshman year." Taylor said. "When I came out of high school I was just running, and he taught me how to read defenses and to be patient behind the line."
Three years after emerging from under Gerhart's wing, Taylor is the lynchpin of a nationally touted offense, and now the student has become the teacher. As a senior and captain, Taylor is now in the role to take over as mentor to the other running backs. Although, teammates may have been looking at Taylor to model their game even before this year.
"Stepfan is a great teammate to have," former Stanford running back and current minor league baseball player Tyler Gaffney said. "As a running back he always does the right assignment, putting pressure on the other backs to the same. He is a goofball off the field, but he knows when to turn the switch and get real serious for football."

text: I've been poking around this board on and off for a few days now...it seems like it may be a good fit for me, so I joined yesterday. I have seen a couple of familiar names from long ago, who probably won't remember me so I won't put anyone on the spot! We have four dogs now... Sparky is a 14 year old border collie/ACD. He has been crazy his entire life. He loves people and FOOD. He does not seem at all like he is 14, except on some cold mornings (luckily not too many of those here). He got bit by a rattlesnake just under a year ago and we had a scarey couple of days, but he bounced back really well. Buck is a 9 year old anatolian shepherd/great pyrenees. I actually saw him being dumped from a truck along the highway when he was a puppy. He is a mellow guy, but also very protective. Definitely a fantastic guardian. Oscar is a 4 year old long hair chihuahua mix. The vet thought/thinks maybe chihuahua/papillon, but I have seen pictures of long hair chihuahuas that look very much like him. He weights in at 5 pounds, and has managed to capture a huge part of my heart. He was found in a dumpster along with two of his littermates (one had already passed away when they were found). I was a foster for the rescue he ended up with, and while I didn't foster small dogs (because they're not REAL dogs, don't you know) I said I would pick the pups up at the vet and foster until another foster could be arranged. When I got to the vet, there was only Oscar to pick up, his littermate did not make it. Oscar promptly wrapped himself around my little finger, though it took me several weeks to admit what everyone else already knew...there was no way he was ever going anywhere! Phoebe is a 3 year old chihuahua/dachshund (no, I will not say chiweenie :lol-sign. She came from my ex, who decided he wanted a small dog until he didn't...and I didn't want my daughter to have to give up her dog. She was such a scared and timid girl, but has made such a turn around. She definitely has a lot of badger hound in her! Bigs and Clingy are 5, and were foster failures...kind of. I had a litter of kittens and their mom that I was fostering, and all found homes reasonably quickly. These two were still with me a year later and I figured by that time they were with us to stay. Not sure why they didn't get adopted, but am glad to still have them in our lives. I have fostered many dogs and cats over the years. These days I foster them less, but find myself fostering other critters...we just had two baby goats, and I picked up 7 ducklings last weekend. So, as you can see, I don't talk much...:lol-sign: Hope to enjoy spending some time with you all and meeting some new folks.

If per your maintenance schedule you want to over-wrench, go right ahead. Me I prefer to ride more.
Maybe I'm just dumb lucky with 94 RS, untouched original injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator. Original final drive untouched in 175,000 miles, running synthetic 75W90 changed every 20k. replaced the driveshaft. 3rd clutch (2nd one was my screw-up). Engine internals untouched, running synthetic oil changed every 5k. I rebuilt the alternator, rebuilt the TB's, replaced the starter, replaced the timing chain tensioners. Done all my own maintenance, and I'm no mechanic. Bike still runs great,
I have though, for years, run a bottle of Techron through the fuel system at least twice per 10,000 miles. Have used Marvel oil in the past too. Don't see any need to change MY maintenance program now.

Hospital 'ACE' Teams Curb Adverse Events, LOS, Costs
Hospitals that use special Acute Care of the Elderly teams to target complex needs of their frail, elderly patients can see a drop in adverse events and shorter lengths of stay, even if the patients aren't housed in a dedicated unit but are scattered throughout the hospital.
And if the targeted care takes place in a distinct hospital unit, average costs for treating those patients, as well as 30-day readmissions, can drop too.
Those are separate conclusions from two reports on ACE units published in the JAMA Internal Medicine.
Researchers in the first study used a mobile version of the ACE team, or MACE, at 1,200-bed Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. The mobile unit was led by a hospitalist who specialized in geriatric medicine, along with a clinical nurse specialist who made daily rounds on patients who were not in a special physical unit of the hospital but scattered throughout the facility, says William W. Hung, MD, the study's corresponding author.
See Also: If ACE Units Are So Great, Why Aren't They Everywhere?
Hung says the experienced team was able to better understand the risk factors for developing adverse events, and took special attention to assure patients were moving as soon as possible.
Because of that, he says, they avoided complications. They also focused on making sure that these patients, all of whom were over the age of 75, avoided polypharmacy with medications that counteract or adversely react with each other.

I will need new tires before returing home from the Rally.
Is it pretty easy to buy tires at the rally and have them mounted or should I order tires from a vendor prior to the rally?
I haven't seen a listing of vendors yet, is there on posted somewhere?
