The land of the free has become the home of the rude thanks to the "arrogant" and "unpredictable" immigration officials who police its borders, according to a survey of travellers.
The nation that once welcomed all with its Statue of Liberty and declaration E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one) is now considered the world's most unfriendly.
Visitors are staying away, costing the country billions of dollars in lost revenue, and the situation threatens America's already battered image, according to the group behind the survey.
The Discover America Partnership, a group of travel industry leaders, found that two thirds of the 2,011 foreign visitors it questioned found America "the worst country in the world" in the way they were treated.
"Visiting the United States and interacting with the American people can have a powerful, positive effect on how non-US residents see our country," Geoff Freeman, executive director of the DAP, said. "Unfortunately, perceptions of a 'rude' and 'arrogant' entry process are turning away travellers and harming America's image."
The survey of visitors from 16 countries showed that the US was ranked "the worst" in terms of visas and immigration procedures by 39 per cent, twice as many as the next destination considered unfriendly, the Middle East and the Asian subcontinent. More than half of those surveyed said US immigration officials were rude and two thirds said they feared they would be detained on arrival for benign mistakes in paperwork or for saying the wrong thing to Customs and Border Protection staff, whose motto is Vigilance, Service and Integrity. The DAP said travel to the US from countries other than Mexico and Canada was down 17 per cent from its high in 2000.
Earlier this year Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, promised to speed up what is for many a lengthy and expensive visa process and make the US a friendlier place to visit. But critics say they have yet to see evidence of improvements.
"The problem is that since September 11, this country has viewed visitors more as a threat than an opportunity," said Mr Freeman. "The entry process has created a climate of fear that is keeping visitors away. There is more fear of our immigration officials than of terrorism or crime."
Several high-profile figures have fallen foul of immigration. In 2004, the novelist Ian McEwan was refused entry from Canada. Eventually allowed in, he thanked the Department of Homeland Security "for protecting the American public from British novelists". He later received an apology. At Newark airport in New Jersey yesterday, passengers arriving on a flight from Glasgow had plenty to say about their welcome.
"They have this weird accusatory tone," said Chris Stack, 26, a film director, who was given a grilling at immigration before being let in. "It's the first time I've been back to the US since 9/11. Now you feel like they're looking at you and labelling everyone a possible terrorist."
John McLelland, 26, a shop manager, agreed. "It's their way of asking that makes you feel uncomfortable, their manner and their tone."
But perhaps Miss Rice's message has got through to some border officials. Angela McClean, 29, who works for a finance company, said she had braced herself and expected an ordeal, but fortunately came through without incident.
Ross Paterson, 25, a personal trainer, said he and his girlfriend, party planner Beverly Dalgleish, 37, had had "cheery" border experience this time around.
"They tend not to be very chatty – they usually get down to business," Mr Paterson said. "But our guy was chirpy and cheery, the friendliest I've ever had. Usually they stare at you, but we were surprised."

So what's the architecture like? It's a microkernel, I got that much. Is it being designed like UNIX? Are they leveraging any of the unique properties of having an OS written in a managed language, such as Singularity is taking advantage of? Hmm, not much on the site that answers these questions.
I suppose I could look at the code ... I assume something BSD-looking awaits.
It is in assembler, I don't think nobody will ever try (again) to write a POSIX compatible OS in assembler, it is Java anyway, not C so I don't think they need posix API anyway, java is crossplateform by design so they should have everything the need (in therm of API) in Java itself. It is not a bad idea after all, Java on Unix and Windows mostly suck, if they can make someting dedicated to run java apps, it -may- run faster a little.
P.S: I hate Java

More than half (59 percent) of the respondents to the Incentive Research Foundation's most recent state-of-the-industry survey expect no changes, due to recent economic conditions, to their incentive travel program budgets in the coming year. The online study of 134 incentive professionals was conducted in May. When asked about the involvement of procurement and purchasing in travel programs, a majority of those polled (43 percent) said they anticipate no change, while 34 percent expect a slight increase. Among other key findings:• Just 3 percent of those polled said their programs have been completely eliminated due to recent economic conditions. • One quarter of respondents have added CSR components to their programs.• Seventeen percent of those polled include virtual elements (social media), while 16 percent have used gaming techniques in their motivation programs.Questions about specific components of programs also indicated that not much change is on the horizon.• More than half of the respondents (53 percent) anticipated no change in the type of destination they will use in 2012, while 26 percent expected to switch from international to domestic destinations. • Twenty-eight percent of those polled will reduce the total number of days/nights of their programs, while 25 percent predicted no change in program duration.• Twenty-nine percent of respondents have considered switching from group travel programs to individual travel rewards."What we are seeing is the new normal," said IRF president Melissa Van Dyke. "The general buying outlook for program planners has moved from negative or flat to slightly positive. There's an underlying current of normalization -- even suggesting growing optimism."

aedCFC Overhaul!
By trent on 18 Jun in aedCFC, ColdFusion
For those of you not aware of what aedCFC is, it is a collection of cfc's which dynamically build end user ready add/edit/delete, ideal for administration areas to websites. You're asking yourself, "Well a bunch of frameworks build crud for me, why should I bother with this?". The answer is simple, crud applications are for the developer, aedCFC is for the client. Also this isn't a content management system, but a tool to very quickly build a very customized cms, specific to your needs, not some blogger's needs
It's been quite some time since the last aedCFC update, and quite frankly it is in desparate need of a major overhaul. Well thats exactly what its getting! With more of a MVC approach it will become more versatile and extendable. The new version will improve 10 fold, as now you will be able to easily add custom views, use specific image manipulation libraries(image.cfc, imagemagick, and cf8's cfimage will be available by default), and several new options. All this is still possible by means of a simple xml model to build the aed. Stay tuned for the upcoming release!

Hi Trent,
I was trying to download this tool from SVN over at riaForge.org and I get a "PROPFIND request failed on '/aedCFC'" error message. I wasn't sure if I should let you know or Ray.
Sorry Dan, I forgot to upload it in the SVN, I only uploaded the zip file through the web. It should now be available.

It is, Thanks.

Your tree.cfc move method does not seem to work all the time. When it does work it does not change the parentid. It seems to move nodes up but not down. Thanks.
Is there a certain situation you have noticed it breaks? Like when it is the last or even first node on on the tree(or branch)?

I have been blessed to have made some great friends here in Victoria, and Jenn and Barry make the top of that list. Jenn and I hit it off from day one and I absolutely love hanging out with her! She's warm and kind and funny and above all, laid back, which makes a friendship with her super easy and fun. I also love that her daughter Ava is GG's BFF – for whatever that means at the age of 5! And just like their mom, both of Jenn and Barry's girls are drop dead gorgeous! Ava has that old world classic Irish beauty that every family photographer dreams about shooting, and you may recognise the adorable wee Sadhbh from earlier posts: I may have three kids of my own, but Sadhbh is up there is up there with my favourite subjects to shoot. Those eyes!
I've been trying to get these guys formally in front of the camera forever, and Sunday morning the sun decided to shine just long enough for us to run down to the beach and then out to the neighbourhood park to play in the last of this year's autumn leaves. The girls were amazing and I finally got to take pictures of both Jenn and Barry that truly reflect how lovely they are. Thanks guys for the morning. Can't wait until we can do it again soon!

Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
Experts at the University of Chicago Brain Tumor Center offer the full range of diagnostic and treatment options for patients with primary and metastatic tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Our physician team has extensive experience in the management of common and rare brain tumors, such as:
Glioma, including:
- Astrocytoma
- Glioblastoma (GBM)
- Anaplastic astrocytoma
- Low grade (fibrillary) astrocytoma
- Pilocytic astrocytoma
- Oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma
- Oligoastrocytoma
Hemangioblastoma, with specialized expertise in von Hippel-Lindau disease
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs)
- Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT)
- Medulloblastoma
- Supratentorial PNETs
Pituitary adenoma
An accurate diagnosis is the first step in comprehensive CNS tumor care. To identify and confirm the presence of a brain tumor, doctors start with a health assessment and physical examination. At the Brain Tumor Center, we specialize in the use of sophisticated imaging technology and minimally invasive techniques to pinpoint the location and shape of brain tumors. Demonstrating the highest level of diagnostic skill, our experts can safely biopsy tumors in the most difficult to reach, high-risk locations in the brain stem and spinal cord. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our physician team discusses each patient's case and collaborates on a customized treatment plan.
With the latest medical advances, patients have a wide range of options for brain tumor treatment, including:
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy
- Systemic therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy
- Tumor treating fields (TTF or TTFields)
Today, innovative, high-precision surgical techniques and tools enable University of Chicago neurosurgeons to operate on deep brain tumors that were once considered inoperable. Some of these newer techniques and tools include:
- Innovative minimally invasive neurosurgery, which offers shorter recovery times and fewer complications than traditional surgery. For example, surgeons may treat tumors using endoscopic techniques, which involve operating through a small incision using thin tubes to protect and retract delicate tissues yet provide an unimpeded avenue to tumors
- Image-guided, minimally invasive laser ablation for superficial and deep-seated tumors, which enables destruction of the tumor while preserving the surrounding brain tissue
- Computerized neuro-navigation systems, which allow greater accuracy during procedures to remove abnormal tissues, and greater preservation of healthy tissues
- Skull-base surgical techniques, which enable neurosurgeons to operate on tumors located near the base of the skull without destroying vital brain and brain-stem functions
- Both minimally invasive and image and electrophysiologically guided spinal neurosurgery for removing tumors of the spine and spinal cord
- The full range of conventional and complex open skull and spine surgeries to treat tumors, brain and spinal cord swelling, seizures, and other conditions

Radiation therapy
Even when surgery appears to have removed a malignant tumor, radiation therapy is often recommended to ensure destruction of any cancer cells that might remain. For benign tumors, radiation therapy may be used to slow or halt tumor growth, or to treat a recurring tumor.
At the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center, adults and children with brain tumors have access to the most sophisticated radiation treatment technologies. This includes innovative image-guided radiation treatment devices. This image-guided radiotherapy technology allows doctors to choose from several different types of radiation treatment techniques. Some of the advanced radiation options available include:
- Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which utilizes highly accurate positioning systems and 3D imaging to map the locations of the tumor and surrounding anatomy with high precision. Without any incision, doctors can accurately target a high-dose radiation beam directly on the tumor that can cause it to shrink or even disappear. Even very small lesions can be treated with SRS, using advanced technology that is available at the medical center.
- Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), a new, highly precise form of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, which uses computers and multiple beams to "shape" radiation to the treatment area. IMRT allows doctors to "turn up" the radiation dose on tumor areas while excluding sensitive regions, such as the brain stem and spinal cord.
- Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). The University of Chicago is one of the first hospitals in the country to provide IGRT. In IGRT, advanced imaging and treatment technology is combined to more precisely identify a tumor's position in order to provide the most accurate delivery of radiation dose to the tumor.
Our multi-modal system can be used to treat benign and malignant brain tumors, as well as other neurological conditions, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and trigeminal neuralgia.

Systemic therapy
Our brain tumor experts may recommend systemic therapy as an effective cancer treatment strategy. With systemic therapies, medication is delivered via bloodstream to destroy and prevent the growth, spread or recurrence of cancer cells throughout the body. Individualized brain tumor treatment plans may include some form of systemic therapy, such as:

Tumor treating fields (TTF or TTFields)
The University of Chicago Brain Tumor Center is among the first to offer tumor treating fields, an innovative technique using alternating electrical fields for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). Through electrodes placed directly on the scalp, the TTF device delivers low-intensity electromagnetic waves to interrupt the proliferation of cancerous cells in the brain. Also referred to as alternating electric field therapy, TTF may only be prescribed and administered by certified experts.

One of the most exhilarating parts of working in public relations is pulling together a broadcast segment. Most people won't believe how much time and energy goes into a measly one minute segment. It can take weeks upon weeks to plan – or it can be extremely last minute, working overtime to pull everything together. With a large announcement from client this week, a national broadcast segment I was working on had to be pulled together with two hours. Yes, two hours. Here are some tips for getting through any broadcast segment.
- Be prepared. Should last minute segments pop-up, have a teammate, place to film, product, etc. available.
- Follow your gut. When a segment is last minute, sometimes the client is unavailable to confirm every detail. Talk with your teammates and follow your gut as to whether or not you can/should pull it off.
- Focus on the key messages. Talk to the producer and make sure they understand what you'd ideally like the segment to convey.
- Make sure you're monitoring what's being said. It's your job to make sure your client is shed in the best light possible. Don't ruin your relationship with the producer, but also speak up if the segment is going in the opposite direction it's supposed to.
- Be assertive. If there's something you know your client doesn't want filmed, put your foot down and make sure it isn't filmed.
- Bring your ideas to the table. You might have some great ideas for the segment to share with the producer as well.
- Alert your client. If they're not physically there with you during filming, let them know how it went. You don't want them to be surprised.
- Pray for the best. At the end of the day, we will never have full control over any broadcast segment. All you can do is hope for the best and make sure your client understands that we don't have full control.
Have you had a work any broadcast segments? How did they go?

215. Guidelines for efficient water use in the brewery and bottled beverage industries
215. Guidelines for efficient water use in the brewery and bottled beverage industries

Sustainability Session

Water is a critical resource and raw material for breweries in particular and the beverage industry in general, as both rely on water for production and facility maintenance. This recognition has led many companies to launch water stewardship initiatives in an effort to drive conservation and efficient use of water at their facilities. Individual breweries globally have undertaken the complex task of reducing their water footprint by increasing water reuse for non-potable uses. For example, published case studies from Australia show significant reductions in water use through efficient and safe reuse at their facilities. In one brewery, recycled water is used for first rinse cleaning of storage vessels, boiler feed, and cooling tower makeup, while at another brewery water is reused to irrigate an adjacent golf course. Overall water costs were reduced in both cases. Both cases illustrate the potential for sustainable use and reuse of water within breweries, reduction of the facility's water footprint, and the challenges faced when developing a reuse system. Pragmatic guidelines outlining management and engineering needs to enable the safe and efficient reuse of water in bottling facilities is lacking. To address this need, the Research Foundation of the International Life Science Institute has convened an expert panel to draft guidelines that will outline the key considerations a plant must make when deciding if reuse is possible and beneficial at their plant. The guidelines will then present a detailed "how-to" enabling facility managers and engineers to plan a safe reuse system based on a hazard analysis and critical control points management approach. In addition, the guidelines will address monitoring, evaluation, and the training necessary to maintain the daily operation of the reuse system within established safety parameters. The use of these guidelines is intended to enable brewers and bottlers to significantly reduce water consumption and wastewater discharge in a cost-effective manner, but to do so in ways that reliably produce safe water of assured quality that is appropriate for the intended use in various processes and product production. For this to occur, the guidelines must be internationally acceptable to producers, regulators, and consumers concerned with product integrity and protection of the environment. The guidelines committee is an international expert group with a wide range of experience, and the guidelines will be reviewed by a broad spectrum of stakeholders interested in the safe reuse of water, including perspectives on the perceptual or acceptability aspects of reusing water, prior to completion.

Paul Nuttall: UKIP champions the working class
Paul Nuttall: UKIP champions the working class
05/03/2013 14:23
RSS Feeds
"While Cameron and Milliband are out bleeting for gay marriage and wasteful wind farms, we are committed to help people get a job, and take back democratic control of our country from the EU, a corrupt political union with a membership fee of £53 million a day."
UKIP MEP Paul Nuttall
Kevin Maguire of
The Mirror
today argues
that UKIP does not support the working class in Britain today. I am of the opinion that his poorly researched article is bonkum.
He did note correctly however, UKIP has been on a steady rise for some time.
In November last year in Corby, UKIP got 14%, then two weeks later it got 22% in working-class Rotherham and just on Friday the UKIP candidate Diane James, received 27.8% of the vote.
Did we get the vote from disgruntled toffs, and grumpy Tory voters? No we picked up voted from across the political spectrum.
UKIP picked up a lot of votes from working class former Labour voters who can see we are fighting their corner. And from those who have no voted in a long-time and are sick of our lying liars political class.
Unemployed Gavin Marsh, who was staffing the Trade Unionists and Socialists Against Cuts stand in Eastleigh told a newspaper during the week "Nobody is supporting the ordinary working class people. That's why UKIP is doing so well here. They are benefiting from anger against the mainstream parties."
Very true! UKIP is the party campaigning against mass immigration into the UK because it is undercutting workers' wages and putting a huge strain on public services like the NHS, like our education system and our social welfare system.
UKIP has no time for Political Correctness or just pleasing the chattering classes and media-luvvies like the LibLabCon. We are the party advocating no income tax for those on the minimum wage and the building up of a strong vocational education system to help those young people looking for a job.
While Cameron and Milliband are out bleeting for gay marriage and wasteful wind farms, we are committed to help people get a job, and take back democratic control of our country from the EU, a corrupt political union with a membership fee of 53 million pounds a day. We can't afford it, don't need it and don't want it. What UKIP want is freedom for the British people so we can take control of out own destiny and be free to prosper.
He purports that UKIP's policy of a 31% flat tax rate that combines income tax and national insurance contributions, is only favourable to corporate big business. He singularly fails to point out that we at UKIP would actually raise the threshold at which we start paying tax to £11,500, taking many low paid workers out of income tax altogether. I think that is a rather important policy point to make, but Mr Maguire fails to inform us and instead tries to pull the wool over his readers' eyes. His argument that such a tax policy would only suit big businessmen simply is not true.
Big business is not UKIP's concern, whatever the tax rate in Britain, big business will always find a way of avoiding tax, or moving offshore, small and medium sized enterprises cannot avoid tax and certainly cannot move offshore and they actually employ the largest section of the private sector, therefore dealing with mountains of tax and health and safety related paperwork, with little time or help at hand.
UKIP wants to unburden SMEs, by simplifying our tax code, making it easier for them to employ workers and enjoy a chance to get their business out of this grip-like recession. A flat tax rate of 31% for everyone from £11,500 would make tax avoidance more difficult, and tax evasion virtually impossible, making the Treasury less focused on catching those who enter such schemes, thus streamlining the need for huge Treasury staff and committees.
In most cases, fairer tax rates usually result in greater revenue for the treasury, as few people seek to avoid it. Having two tax rates makes it far more complicated for both businesses, employees, and the Treasury to work out who owes what, often making the case that the cost of doing so renders the tax revenue worthless. Here is a simple case in point:
• Employee 1: annual salary - £15,000 - tax on £3500 at 31% = £1085
• Employee 2: annual salary - £45,000 - tax on £33,500 at 31% = £10,385
• CEO: annual salary - £100,000 - tax on £88,500 at 31% = £27,435
Bearing in mind, that UKIP's tax policy combines 20% income tax with 11% National Insurance, means that those who earn more, generally pay more, for everything, including schools, NHS, and police. I think that is fair, and we all pay the same rate.
UKIP opposes any kind of aspiration-killing policy, such as Labour's oft repeated dream of punitive taxation, because it does not drive people to want to better themselves, thus killing social mobility and innovation. UKIP wants people from all backgrounds to have the chance to be more socially mobile, successful and subject to fair, balanced taxation.
One of the main problems in Britain and many parts of the World in recession is the lack of spending power. Spending power is what aids growth, if people are able to spend more, more businesses sell their products, and in turn, can create more jobs to continue producing and selling their products. The first instance at which the State can help increase individual spending power is to make taxation fair and for all.
With a simplified flat tax rate, UKIP can help small businesses employ more people, increase spending power, and achieve the most important thing of all, an increase in employment in Britain. Now I would argue that UKIP has the policies for the working class, getting them into work by making employment simpler for businesses, a win/win situation.

1. Cut screen into a long, narrow triangle. (Our icicles ranged from 15 to 36 inches long and about 8 to 14 inches across the top.) Scatter some embellishments on the screen.
2. Bunch up a long, narrow cylinder of plastic wrap; place over the embellishments along center of screen triangle. (The plastic wrap will keep the trims secure.)
3. Arrange white lights on plastic wrap, leaving both ends free at top of triangle (for stringing to other lights). Try to keep lightbulbs visible outside of plastic wrap and tuck wire within wrap.
4. Bring long edges of the triangle together and secure with pieces of small twisted wire, leaving top open. When completely wired closed, scrunch and mold to create irregular icicle appearance. Wear gloves during this step, as the screen edges and wire ends are prickly.
5. Hot-glue or wire some embellishments to outside of icicle. Hang from eaves or gutters either by wiring, nailing, or stapling. Hang one at a time, spacing as desired and connecting light strands when needed.

(Warner Brothers)
A few disarming moments on "Octahedron" unfold slowly, with pockets of space and calm. Don't be lured into trusting them. This album, the fifth studio release by the Mars Volta, employs stillness as a setup for all manner of disruption: sharply pealing riffs, phantasmagorical metaphors, convoluted song structures. In many ways it's a typical effort from the guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and the vocalist Cedric Bixler Zavala, who make up the Mars Volta's cunning and ever-agitated core.
But that's not to discredit the more measured side of "Octahedron," a harbor for some of this psychedelic prog-rock band's most alluring melodies and among its most coherent recordings. Presented as an eight-song suite, the album delivers a panoramic range of intensity, sliding along that range in ways both gradual and startling. So a brooding tune like "With Twilight as My Guide" can swell and then ebb almost to the lulling point before the next tune, "Cotopaxi," arrives with whiplash force.
As a lyricist Mr. Bixler Zavala still favors the enigmatic and ominous, with the haziest of interpersonal connotations. Aside from the opener, a remorseful ballad called "Since We've Been Wrong," the songs fix their uneasy sentiments to unsettling images, like carcasses or "tables of ringworms." The syntax can suggest an antiquarian contortion: "With qualms that I speak/Of the wrists I have cut," he sings at the start of "Desperate Graves."
But the panache of the singing, and the radiant complexity of the music — an achievement shared by Mr. Rodriguez Lopez and a handful of regular collaborators, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante — drive the album relentlessly forward. And it's the subtle touches, no less than the sweeping ones, that leave an impression. NATE CHINEN
"A Man's Thoughts"
(Notifi/Asylum/Warner Brothers)
It's been 13 years since the singer Elgin Lumpkin, known as Ginuwine, made his slow-bumping, lubricious first single, "Pony." That's the same time span in Marvin Gaye's career from the song "Ain't That Peculiar," in which he felt invincible in love, to the album "Here, My Dear," in which he felt victimized by it.Continue reading the main story
Not that Ginuwine meditates as Gaye did — Ginuwine's emotionally slick new record, "A Man's Thoughts," can make you long for Gaye's passionate masochism — but persistence through time remains a basic challenge to love-man singers in R&B. How much can they let their guard down as they grow older? How much can they admit to? Being half-cartoon got them the job. How do they change the character?
"A Man's Thoughts" is about self-protection. It's defensive, not offensive. I'm talking about emotions expressed through lyrics, but the same goes for the music, more or less: where his early work with the producer Timbaland was packed with weird thin, rubbery sounds from an eccentric's laboratory, Ginuwine's new material uses a more generic palette of sounds from R&B slow jams and gospel. There's more song to them, more piano-ballad chords and swirling Isley Brothers guitars, and more mediocrity. Timbaland, with Missy Elliott, returns for one track here, the robotic "Get Involved." It's not bad, just a little sad. Timbaland and Ms. Elliott are still freaky, and Ginuwine is not. He's distracted by the need to deliver fatuous, whispered soliloquies about the pressures of being a man.
For the first few tracks he reruns his old passions, but from a slight distance. In "Show Off" he's supportively encouraging his mate to wear tighter clothes, for her sake as much as his. In "Trouble" he's warning a girl at a party that she better not come any closer. In "One Time for Love" he's marshaling his strength not for a fresh conquest but to win a woman back: "If I only got one shot to win you/then call me Jordan, fourth quarter in '92."
Further in, things get more interesting, as Ginuwine thinks up new ways to channel his sexual feelings. "Lying to Each Other" is middle-age honest: since our relationship has become boring ("I'd rather watch cable/than see you with a negligee on"), he proposes to his mate: let's pretend we're other people. And "Orchestra," written with the producer Oak, is a synesthesia slow jam. Ginuwine plays the conductor, and he's hearing sex; he's making love through sound. There's an impressive trombone metaphor in there. BEN RATLIFF
"Here With Me"
Last week Holly Williams's father, Hank Williams Jr., continued to grapple with long-cast shadows by releasing "127 Rose Avenue," an album named for the childhood address of his father, the country pioneer Hank Williams. That same day Ms. Williams released her second album, "Here With Me," on which she sings, "Some days I wanna run from the place I call home/I guess I'm just needing some danger."
That's on "Three Days in Bed," about fleeing to Paris for an analgesic shot of romance. Her accent on "Seine" and "Boulevard Saint-Germain"? Iffy. But the sentiment is clear: History can be a burden, if you're scared to run from it.
That fear is a recurring note on "Here With Me," which manages both heresy and faithfulness to the family business and is a vast improvement over Ms. Williams's 2004 debut album, "The Ones We Never Knew" (Universal South). Written mostly by Ms. Williams, the new record tends toward the intimate, recalling in places the excellent 2004 whiskey-stained debut album by Julie Roberts, with a touch of Bonnie Raitt's blues.
To her credit Ms. Williams isn't hiding from her legacy. It's a source of strength on "Without Jesus Here With Me," about surviving her near-fatal 2006 car accident. ("Hank's words, they taught me everything," she sings.) And "Let Her Go," a vibrant roots ramble directed at a father with a firm grip, is sung with earned frankness: "She wants to touch the world with her own hands."("Mama," about Ms. Williams's parents' tumble of a relationship, aches in the lyric but surprisingly not the delivery.)
Ms. Williams contributes most to the family tradition, though, when she shuts it out, staking out quiet, warm, insightful territory for herself. "He's Making a Fool Out of You" scolds casually, as if fatigued from repetition, and a cover of Neil Young's "Birds," accompanied only by Gordie Sampson on piano, is uncomplicatedly beautiful. Most promising are the two songs produced with Tony Brown — especially the stunning "Gone With the Morning Sun" — who adds fullness without overbearing power.
It's the opposite of "Keep the Change," written by the professional songwriting hands Hillary Lindsey and Luke Laird, which is ambitious but also anonymous. Its sassy sentiment and Technicolor arrangements do Ms. Williams, who's better when hushed, no favors. As a single, it flopped, which should be seen less as a disappointment than as a gift. There's just no need to be that big, no need to carry that weight. JON CARAMANICA
"Murdering Oscar (and other love songs)"
(Ruth St.)
Neil Young stirred up echoes of the Civil War with his condemnatory "Southern Man" in 1970, soon to be answered by Lynyrd Skynyrd's proud "Sweet Home Alabama." Decades later Patterson Hood and the band he started in 1995, Drive-By Truckers, straddled a musical Mason-Dixon line by realizing what Mr. Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd shared: overdriven guitars and blunt, concise lyrics. Mr. Hood and the band have merged Mr. Young's frazzled high vocals and Crazy Horse's grungy trudge with a guitar twang, drawl and Southern perspective.
"Murdering Oscar (and other love songs)" collects songs Mr. Hood had written before and outside the band since 1991, mostly recorded in 2005 and tinkered with over the last four years. Members of Drive-By Truckers and other musicians back him up. Distorted guitars still propel most of the songs, though some arrangements lean toward country with banjo or fiddle. And Mr. Hood still sings with bleary conviction and bone-deep humility: "I'm just something she's got stuck to the bottom of her shoe," he sings in "Pollyanna."
The album mixes the hard-nosed character studies he writes for Drive-By Truckers and more personal, guardedly hopeful songs. It juxtaposes his brasher, more cynical younger self with his current role as a husband and father.
His father, David Hood — the bass player of the Muscle Shoals studio band that was a bulwark of Southern soul music — sits in on "I Understand Now," a two-chord rocker from 2002 celebrating "the value of generations changing hands/Family ties and lips and eyes. Pass it down." Mr. Hood follows it with "Screwtopia," a more jaundiced view, from 1994, of settling down in suburbia: "Come on baby take my hand, S.U.V. or minivan?"
Then and now he's conscious of mortality and dogged perseverance, writing about murder and suicide along with family and continuity. As the album ends, with "Back of a Bible," his guitars build a soul ballad, and he's back on the road, writing his wife a love song on a blank page in a motel Bible: "I ain't no authority about what it says in it," he admits. Patterson Hood and the Screwtopians are to perform Tuesday at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, 66 North Sixth Street, Brooklyn, (718) 486-5400; and Wednesday at the Bowery Ballroom, 6 Delancey Street, near the Bowery, Lower East Side, (212) 533-2111.

Deviation the nasal
A Crooked Nose
A crooked nose attracts attention, and exaggerates otherwise normal asymmetries that most of us have. These cosmetic issues are often accompanied by breathing problems caused by the same structural damage.
A crooked nose bends to one side or the other, lacking a straight bridge. These noses can have either a curved or bumpy appearance, and can also be too big or too small.
A crooked nose can be caused by a deviated septum or an injury that has broken the bones. To straighten the nose, the bones need to be moved into a better position and are often reduced before being reshaped.
What makes it hard to straighten a deviated nose
One of the most difficult things to do during a rhinoplasty is to straighten a crooked nose. Several factors make this more challenging. The first factor is that the deviated cartilage and bone has a certain level of memory such that unless this is addressed the nose tends to drift back towards its pre-operative position. Another factor is that especially in congenitally crooked noses the nasal deviation may also occur in the setting of facial asymmetry. What this means is that it can be difficult to find a true midline plane in which to try to place the new nasal position.
What Is Involved In Straightening A Crooked Nose?
To create a more straight nose the underlying framework must be made as straight as possible. This includes repositioning the septum and nasal bones. If a septal deviation is not addressed it may continue to push the nose off center. If the caudal septum is off center this portion of the septum can be rebuilt in the midline. Once the septum is centered any deviation of the nasal bones needs to be addressed.
What Else Leads To A Deviated Nose?
Additional factors that can lead to the appearance of a crooked nose include internal and external valve collapse. The shadowing that results from this narrowing is what creates this appearance, especially when it occurs asymmetrically.
Before and After Rhinoplasty Crooked Nose Rhinoplasty
The patient shown below is a great example of this concept of correcting a severely crooked nose.
The patient's severe nasal deviation to his right is obvious. This outward appearance is also reflected in his chronic nasal congestion and chronic mouth breathing. If we try to drop down a line showing the patient's midline one can see how the patient's tip is about a centimeter off midline. Did you notice that the patient's midline upper lip doesn't line up with the middline of his forehead teeth or chin? In cases like this I often find it best to place the new nasal position in line with the axis of the overall facial structure. Otherwise, a seemingly straight nose on an asymmetric face can look quite out of place.
How to straighten deviated nasal bones
Using an open septo-rhinoplasty approach I was able to reconstruct the patient's septum, relocating its starting point by the nostrils about a centimeter toward the left. To prevent the remainder of the nose from trying to veer back toward the patient's right I needed to detach much of the cartilagenous support from the surrounding bone and septum and then re-connect these components in their new, midline position. I also placed bilateral spreader grafts to help open up, straighten and support the narrow middle third of his nose.
The deviated nasal bones are made more straight by creating precisely controlled bone fractures under the skin using an osteotome (a fine-tipped, medical grade chisel). Once the bones are mobile they can be repositioned into a straighter position. After about 6 weeks the nasal bones are fully reset in their new position. Below you can see the before and 1 year postoperative results of this patient.

Chris Betts is grounded.
The Wilson junior catcher doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about all that is ahead of him, which is considerable.
He's the best baseball prospect in greater Long Beach.
He's arguably the best catching prospect in the nation.
He's likely a first-round pick in the 2015 amateur draft, should he decide to turn down what would likely be multiple Division I scholarship offers.
Imagine how easy it would be for a young man in a high-profile field to lose himself in the rush of expectations. Justin Bieber was once a nice young pop star before suffering a bloated ego. Matt Bush, once the first pick in the 2004 baseball draft, flunked both baseball and life.
Betts is a good bet because he's a mature 16-year-old who comes from grounded baseball families.
His dad, Harold, was a catcher at Lakewood High and then in college at Oklahoma and UNLV. His coach, Andy Hall, has worked with high-profile prospects before and kept their heads level as they reach those tender points when scouts and college coaches are filling their heads with future projections.
"Chris has a killer desire to be successful," Hall said on the eve of the CIF-Southern Section playoffs that begin Friday for Wilson, "and he uses that desire to edify his teammates to be better players.
"You don't always get leadership qualities like that from a junior. As phenomenal as he is as a player, a kid with great tool, the think I like most about him is the way he continues to grow and mature. He's already mature; it's just that you can see him developing so much more."
Over the years, Wilson has sent Aaron Hicks to the majors and others like Ryan Dent, Zach Williams and Elliot Glynn to the pros and college.
"Chris is right there with Aaron and the others in terms of having the tools to be successful," Hall said. "But his ceiling is much higher. His work ethic, at practice and after practice, working with his dad in the summer and fall, is probably unrivaled by any player that's come along since I started coaching."
• • •
Betts loves catching.
His dad was a catcher, but dad never pushed his son behind the plate any more than he did push him into baseball. His son started playing the game at the age of most kids, and by the time he was 10, he was already feeling comfortable catching.
"I think there was some destiny involved," the 6-foot, 220-pound Betts said. "My dad was a catcher, and I think I was predetermined to catch because of the way he always talked about it. But I really love it.
"It's the one position where every play of the game is in front of you. You can see where the other eight guys are positioned. You have a sense of control because you're involved in pitch selection.
"There's so much you see that you can then talk about with your teammates and coaches – where players are positioned, what pitches you'll throw.
"That's the best part of catching – being part of the process of calling pitches and working hitters."
Betts says his dad never pushed him to catch, that it was always his decision. His dad actually tried to talk him out of catching at an early age in fear of burnout. It was only when Chris asked that Harold started relaying all of the experiences and information he had.
Spud O'Neil said Harold was one of the best high school catchers he ever had and jokingly laments that the Betts family chose to live in Long Beach instead of Lakewood.
Harold loved catching, too. He played his youth ball in Lakewood and was on Lakewood varsity as a freshman. He was part of two league champions with the Lancers and was drafted by Toronto in 1996 but chose college instead.
He played two years at Oklahoma and finished at UNLV, a good defensive catcher with some power. A knee injury short-circuited any thought of a pro career.
"I didn't want him to catch until he was in high school," Harold said. "I wanted him to wait until he knew it was what he wanted to do, until he knew what he was doing. I don't think there's much value in having a kid specialize until he's older.
"Plus, whatever you try and teach your kid when he's, say, 10, usually has no bearing on the future. I've seen a lot of talented kids get to 13 and 14 and just get tired of playing.
"Baseball is a hard sport because you have to love it. I wanted to wait until I could see that in him. Once he showed that, everything I needed him to do was easy – the hours he would put into practice and the things he would have to learn."
By the time he turned 13, Chris was all in on baseball. "That's when he got my full attention (coaching-wise)."
As much time was spent on his defense as his hitting. In the latter regard, Chris transitioned from right-handed to switch hitter to being a left-handed hitter.
A major league scout said that Betts is the best defensive catching prospect in Southern California since Jason Kendall, and that his power hitting ability will ensure a first-round pick in the 2015 draft.
"It's a combination you just don't see very often," the scout said. "He's probably the best high school catching prospect since Joe Mauer (the first overall pick in 2001 by Minnesota) although they're different kind of hitters."
"The one goal I have is to compete at the highest possible caliber," Betts said. "But really, all I'm concerned about now is having as much fun as I can in high school and getting the chance to play as much as I can."
After missing most of his sophomore season because of a foot injury, Betts was given the rare opportunity to play in the Area Code Games last summer, an event usually reserved for high school juniors.
This summer, he will be all over the map. Besides a return to the Area Code Games at Blair Field, he will play in the Under Armour All-Star event at Wrigley Field; several Perfect Game showcase events, including a week-long event in Florida and an annual all-star game in San Diego; and has been invited to the USA Baseball Under 18 national team camp, which could lead to being part of the summer national team.
Sounds a bit like a pop star's summer concert tour. Only Betts will make his music with a bat and with the kind of maturity to handle all the fuss of future potential without losing sight of staying in the moment.
"You get a sense of what he's about when you watch him stretching with his teammates," Hall said, "and he's showing leadership just by having fun with his friends and playing a game that he truly loves."

text: Conservation: Story Story Posted 09-09-2011 Texas Wildfire: Clean-up Operations Continue at Bastrop By: by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was on the scene, photographing the devastating fire. Update Sunday, Sept. 8, 2011, 12:33PM Texas Parks and Wildlife fire-fighting personnel were continuing with clean up work at Bastrop State Park Thursday, having saved almost all the historic Depression-era structures on the 6,000-acre park just east of fire-ravaged Bastrop. The number of firefighters and equipment involved has been scaled down, but personnel were still working with assorted hotspots on the park and keeping a wary eye on the wind speed as a weak cold front passed through the area. The fire began Sunday afternoon, and through Tuesday afternoon, TPWD remained very concerned about the Civilian Conservation Corps cabins and other buildings on the park. Some firefighters worked 30 hours straight without rest or sleep in battling the blaze. The park and nearby Buescher State Park remain closed to the public until further notice. Video Update Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2011, 11:04AM document.write('<ifr'+'ame height="333" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9kFw2mQcZaQ" frameborder="0" width="540" scrolling="no"></i'+'frame>'); Update Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011, 9:13AM Despite earlier optimism, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department firefighters and other personnel were still facing a fire threat to historic structures at Bastrop State Park early today. According to incident commander Robert Crossman, most of the 6,000-acre park has now been blackened by fire, but firefighters have so far been able to save the Civilian Conservation Corps-constructed structures on the park, with two possible exceptions – 2 CCC observation structures believed to have been damaged. "We still have critical fire behavior threatening the CCC cabins," Crossman said. He said firefighters, assisted by newly arrived federal firefighters, dealt with two flare-ups at the park overnight, one at midnight and the other at 5 a.m. today. Firefighters are using heavy equipment, much of it provided by donors who responded to a TPWD call for assistance, and water trucks to build fire breaks and saturate the ground around the historic structures. Update Monday, Sept. 5, 2011, 9:16PM Texas Parks and Wildlife Department fire fighters and other personnel have made substantial headway in their effort to save the historic infrastructure of Bastrop State Park from the wildfire that has ravaged portions of Bastrop County. As of 8 p.m., while some active fire remained in the park, the incident commander said the situation looked more favorable than it had all day, and expressed optimism that the battle to save the park has paid off. However, fire fighters will continue to work on preventing further spread of the fire inside the park and will be on hand again Tuesday morning. No further reports will be issued tonight unless the situation changes. Update Monday, Sept. 5, 2011, 2:56PM As of 2:30 p.m. all but essential Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel were ordered to evacuate the command post at Bastrop State Park as state park firefighters continue to battle the blaze at the 6,000-acre park in Bastrop County. High plumes of black and brown smoke continued to move slowly toward the park from the northeast fueled by gusting winds expected to reach 35 mph. The fire has been advancing toward the park despite extensive water drops from aircraft as coordinated by the Texas Forest Service. State parks officials are still planning to make an all-out effort to save historic structures on the park, many of which were constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Park officials are also concerned about threats to the endangered Houston toad. The 124,000-acre Lost Pines area of Bastrop County, which includes the state park, is home to the largest known population of the small, reclusive amphibians in the U.S. State parks director Brent Leisure said the toad has already been stressed by the ongoing drought and loss of habitat caused by wildfires that have covered two thirds of the park will likely impact the toad further. Update Monday, Sept. 5, 2011, 10:20AM TPWD has 40-plus personnel currently on Bastrop State Park working to save the historic Depression-era structures on the 6,000-acre park. Personnel also are working on Buescher State Park, which covers about 1,000 acres. As of 10 a.m., dark smoke was visible from the park, and occasionally billowing over the park. Active fire is located both to the north and south of the park at this time. Personnel involved include TPWD State Park fire fighters, State Park Police, Game Wardens and others. The fire yesterday damaged the regional state park headquarters on State Highway 71, about four miles from the park. In addition, two TPWD employees lost their homes in Bastrop County. Some TPWD vehicles and other equipment were destroyed, but damage was somewhat less than first believed. TPWD firefighters have been warned to expect "extreme fire behavior" with winds expecting to gust up to 35 mph this afternoon. The Texas Forest Service reports the Bastrop Complex fire now covers 25,000 acres and is 0 percent contained. Additional information will be released as developments warrant. For more detail on these two historic state parks see the TPWD web site at www.tpwd.state.tx.us Update Sunday, Sept. 4, 2011, 9:36PM An estimated 2,000 to 3,000 acres of 6,500-acre Bastrop State Park have been burned in the ongoing Bastrop County wildfire. The park superintendent reported at 9:30 p.m. that the park is still surrounded by fire, but its spread has slowed with a drop in wind speeds. At this time, no park structures have been damaged. About a dozen state parks fire fighters are battling the blaze in the park, along with about a dozen law enforcement personnel and local firefighters. As reported earlier, the TPWD regional park office about four miles from the park was destroyed by fire as was the personal residence of the state parks director, who works at the Austin state headquarters. No injuries to TPWD personnel have been reported. Update Sunday, Sept. 4, 2011, 8:25PM Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel and firefighters have been fighting to save the historic Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps structures in Bastrop State Park as a major wildfire continues to burn in Bastrop County. While the situation at the park is unclear at this time, it had earlier been evacuated of all campers and visitors. State Parks Division Director Brent Leisure reports that the regional state parks office about 4 miles from the park on State Highway 71 has been destroyed by fire. Leisure, who works out of the state headquarters in Austin, also has lost his personal residence in Bastrop County. In Travis County, state game wardens have been assisting in evacuations at the Steiner Ranch fire off Ranch Road 620. Elsewhere, other state game wardens are involved in helping local authorities in other wildfire situations across Central Texas.

Wren: Mum, how big are orcs?
Me: I don't know. I would guess they are about 8 feet tall. They are a fantasy creature so its hard to know.
Wren: No Mum. Not ORCS, ORCS! They are not a fantasy creature. They are the smallest thing in the universe.
Me: No, orcs are a fantasy creature.
Wren: No AWKS! What is smaller than an atom?
Me: An atom is made of a proton and an neutron.
Wren: But what is smaller?
Me: Electrons?
Wren: But what is SMALLER!
Me: OH! You mean quarks?
Wren: orcs

Yes. the right to independence is important, I agree and I have always had a lot of independence in my monogamous relationships. Unfortunately that wasn't enough for me it seems.
I guess the way I describe co-dependency is "when my sense of peace and happiness is dependent upon someone/something outside of myself" Most of my friends are pretty balanced, but I do have a lover and he is extremly co-dependent with his primary partner. They are actually very entertaining though!! I just wouldn't want to be in that place emotionally.
The key to life is in being fully engaged and peacefully detached simultaneously and authentically in each moment.

"This is Ozzy's final release as a "hair band" after The Ultimate Sin and No Rest For The Wicked. This of course isn't a studio album but Ozzy's band still had the big hair and what not. Anyway here's my review
1.Miracle Man- 10/10 A great fast paced concert opener. Ozzy's vocals here sound better than the studio recording! A great catchy song with an awesome chorus. Zakk's pinch harmonics are awesome. Zakk's solo is just as good as the studio version. The solo is great as Zakk shreds away but it sounds exactly like the studio version. Overall better than the studio version.
2.Bloodbath in Paradise- 10/10 Great scary intro that leads into one of Zakk's best riffs ever. Ozzy's vocals are awesome and the lyrics are great. The lyrics are about the Manson family murders. Another catchy chorus. Zakk has an awesome agressive fill in! Zakk's monster solo here is better and more agressive than the studio version! Zakk throws in another great fill in right after the solo. Zakk's tone is awesome too! Once again better than the studio version.
3.Shot in the Dark- 10/10 Great harmonic intro. Zakk's tone is awesome and his pinch harmonics great aswell. Zakk plays the solo great although not as good as Jake originally did. Ozzy's vocals are flawless as well and Zakk gets a second solo as did Jake during The Ultimate Sin tour. Zakk's second solo is better than the first as Zakk shreds away fast and furiously.
4.Tattooed Dancer- 10/10 Another great fast song with some awesome an awesome guitar riff and some awesome pinch harmonics. Zakk's fills in are great once again. Ozzy's vocals sound better here than the studio version. An agressive hair metal song here.
5.Sweet Leaf- 10/10 A great version of this Sabbath classic that's as good as the original. Ozzy's vocals are as good as the original and Zakk's pinch harmonics work great. I personally Zakk's shredding here is great and Randy Castillo's drumming is amazing
6.War Pigs- 10/10 Another live Sabbath song that is as good as the original. Zakk's solo is great too especially the second one which Zakk shreds away on. Ozzy's vocals are perfect once again.
This is a great live E.P if you want a half hour to kill than listen to this straight through it's an awesome E.P The band is
Ozzy Osbourne- Vocals
Zakk Wylde- Guitar
Randy Castillo- Drums
Geezer Butler- Bass"
Highly underrated
Josh | Ontario, Canada | 10/01/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"For whatever reason, this live album released in 1990 isn't all too popular with the fans. Why? I couldn't honestly tell you. Every single song on here is solid. Not to mention that the version of "Shot In The Dark" found here completely blows away the studio version. With 3 tracks off "No Rest For The Wicked", a kick ass recording of "Shot In The Dark", with a couple of classic Sabbath tunes thrown in for good measure, how could anyone complain? To top it all off, the remastering found here is absolutely splendid. This disc will definitely give your speakers a workout. Unfortunately, as we all know, Ozzy dislikes "Shot In The Dark", so this album was not amongst the 2002 reissues. So, by all means, if you happen to see this album anywhere, pick it up. It may be your only chance.

Labor Department improved the filing process with ECOMP – the Employees Compensation Operation and Management Portal – a site that often cuts in half the time it takes federal employees to file workers' compensation claims in the federal workforce, the department said.
Its Web-based forms and the ability to upload and track documents make it easier for federal employees to submit the required documentation for claims. Workers' comp staff at agencies can use a dashboard to manage claims, send email reminders and even file forms on behalf of workers who are incapacitated. Find out more on the Labor Department blog.

An Open Letter to Oromos (Only) Who are Still Under the Abyssinian Mental Slavery
By Habte Dafa
To secede is/was never the hypothesis of the Nation of Oromia. But reclaiming the Democratic Republic of Oromia is/was the proper paradigm starting from its occupation by the Abyssinian invading forces. Since then, yes, the Abyssinian did not only have changed the names of the Oromo vicinity replacing it by their colonial names, but they tried to erase the proud spirit of Orommumma in every humanly possible facet. Now, watching those Oromos who remained under the Abyssinian mental slavery, I am really ashamed by those who are more Abyssinian than the Abyssinians themselves, by trying to prove that they are the die-hard colonial Ethiopians by bashing and condemning the overdue independence journey of the Nation of Oromia. On the other hand, the Oromo people's invaders do not trust them even if they swear million times that they are their trustworthy slave. Therefore, TPLF had imprisoned them even with all the unflinching Oromo Nationalists, and are keeping them locked-up till they submit to them totally. Therefore, what is preventing them from going all the way for the independence of Oromia? What will they lose except the colonial chains?
The truth remains, the journey for any National struggle is measured by how resolute and uncompromising the people are when it comes to their freedom. We are currently witnessing the boiling wave that resulted in irreversible enormity of TPLF that produced the unwavering resistances of the Oromo Nation for their freedom. The Oromo freedom generation are are beaming on TPLF the hurricane of dedications to liberate Oromia once and for all. Yes, we (me and you) have a choice: 1) to stand with our Qeerroo/Qubee generation and help them to achieve their overdue goal of liberating Oromia, or 2) remain propagating how to save the dying colonial empire while isolated, or imprisoned by the TPLF- Abyssinian regime on power.
What every walking soul of the Oromo citizens needs to realize is that the old hymns of the colonial Ethiopia, is gone forever and the sun had already set upon it. It will never come again, believe me. Therefore, we need to wake-up and grasp the reality before it would be too late, this is a new era and new ways and methodologies of National struggle.
Overall without much vouching idealistic and unrealistic goals, I chose to be realistic and to stand with the Oromo Nation's Freedom generation and do all that I can do to see the determined, selfless and unflinching sacrifices our young generation will not be in vain, but should and will succeed in decolonizing Oromia.
Oromia shall be free,
