Like all airlines, United has a very specific (and lengthy!) contract for carriage outlining the contractual relationship between the airline and the passenger. It includes a familiar set of provisions for when a passenger may be denied boarding (Rule 25: "Denied Boarding Compensation").
When a flight is oversold, UA can deny boarding to some passengers, who then receive compensation under specific guidelines. However, Dao was not denied boarding. He was granted boarding and then involuntarily removed from the airplane. What does the contract say about that?
It turns out that the contract has a specific rule regarding "Refusal of Transport" (Rule 21), which lays out the conditions under which a passenger can be removed and refused transport on the aircraft. This includes situations where passengers act in a "disorderly, offensive, abusive, or violent" manner, refuse to comply with the smoking policy, are barefoot or "not properly clothed," as well as many other situations.
There is absolutely no provision for deplaning a seated passenger because the flight is oversold.

Pac-Man Museum was first announced last summer. At that time it was slated for release on Steam, Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network, and the Wii U and 3DS eShops. That story from yesterday only mentioned the Steam, Xbox Live and PSN iterations of Pac-Man Museum, prompting Nintendo Everything to contact publisher Namco Bandai. According to the site's report, both the Wii U and 3DS versions of Pac-Man Museum have been cancelled "as a result of delayed development."
While this cancellation is depressing news for Nintendo devotees, those who have access to any of the platforms Pac-Man Museum will be appearing on should give the game a shot, if only for Pac-Man Battle Royale. Unless you frequent Japanese arcades, you probably won't have many other chances to experience the gleeful chaos that is four-player Pac-Man.

Review, 'Medea': Powerful expression of sorceress' torment
Published 3:52 pm, Sunday, March 9, 2014
Medea: Tragedy. By Euripides. Directed by Dawn Monique Williams. Through March 30. African-American Shakespeare Company, African American Art and Culture Complex, 762 Fulton St., San Francisco. 85 minutes. $12.50-$37.50. (800) 838-3006. www.african-americanshakes.org.
Leontyne Mbele-Mbong is a fearfully potent Medea, her tormented presence made all the more formidable by the reactions and remonstrances of a deeply committed Cathleen Riddley as her distraught, loyal old Nurse. That's the best news about director Dawn Monique Williams' modern-dress African-American Shakespeare Company version of Euripides' immortal tragedy, which opened Saturday.

It isn't quite enough to deliver the cataclysm of grief, horror and awe of Euripides' drama of a woman - a sorceress, no less - so wronged that she kills her children to punish their father when he deserts her for a younger princess (whom she also gruesomely dispatches). But Mbele-Mbong and Riddley contribute enough art and passion to carry this "Medea" a pretty long way.
Their relationship is essential to getting the action under way. Riddley's Nurse has to hold the stage and fill us in on the situation as she serves as a terrified intermediary between us and the anguished offstage wails (and ineptly staged shadow play) of her mistress. She also eloquently anchors the three-woman Chorus when Mbele-Mbong's regal Medea makes her dramatic entrance, visibly struggling between heartbreak, extreme rage and a deep-seated need to keep up appearances.
That need has an extra modern resonance in Williams' production, with Courtney Flores' "Real Housewives of Atlanta"-influenced Chorus costumes and Bert van Aalsburg's contemporary neocolonial home facade. But though it plays well off Kenneth McLeish and Frederic Raphael's colloquial translation, the modern setting creates some problems.
Medea's tragedy is timeless, but her immediate plight is caught up in the politics of petty kingdoms. The passionate pleas to Zeus, Hecate and other gods take on an air of unreality, and our belief in Medea's powers of sorcery is compromised, altering the impact of the play's ending.
None of that would be much of a problem if the rest of Williams' cast were working on Riddley and Mbele-Mbong's level. Khary Moye delivers the firm, manly self-confidence and entitlement of a Jason who sees deserting Medea for the local king's daughter as a good career move, and reflects some erotic tension in his scenes with Medea. But he plays his emotional cards so close to his chest that their climactic showdowns don't achieve their usual impact.
Danielle Doyle and Shani Harris-Bagwell fill out the Chorus fairly well, but without the sense of awe that could amplify Medea's potency. Dwight Dean Mahabir contributes some of that as the autocratic, frightened King Kreon. The charming Gabriel Reader and Amir Glenn convey the fact that real children's lives are at stake. A stoic Elizabeth Strong undersells the usually harrowing description of Medea's revenge.
Mbele-Mbong's vital Medea embodies the core of Euripides' tragedy with quicksilver shifts between unreasoning rage, practicality, grief, erotic subterfuge, maternal qualms and an unsettling aura of otherworldly powers. But she's a Medea in search of a full "Medea."

Have you ever wondered – and maybe even said out loud – why so many people seem downright dumb? According to a hypothesis just published in the Cell Press journal Trends in Genetics, maybe humans are becoming less intelligent.
The paper's author, Dr. Gerald Crabtree, of Stanford University, suggests we are losing our intellectual and emotional capabilities because the intricate web of genes giving Homo sapiens our supposedly superior-to-other-animals' brain power is susceptible to dumbing down mutations.
Dr. Crabtree points out that human intelligence and behavior require the optimal functioning of a large number of genes. And these genes need enormous evolutionary pressures to be maintained. "The development of our intellectual abilities and the optimization of thousands of intelligence genes probably occurred in relatively non-verbal, dispersed groups of peoples before our ancestors emerged from Africa," Dr. Crabtree said in a media statement. He explained that in this ancient environment, intelligence was critical for survival so genes required for intellectual development were maintained and favored, resulting in a growth of human intelligence.
The supposed problem is that as agriculture developed and then urbanization, there was less natural selection of the most intelligent. Mutations weren't weeded out as often and that led to more intellectual disabilities. In addition, Dr. Crabtree points out, recent neuroscience findings suggest genes involved in brain function are especially susceptible to mutations.
Dr. Crabtree predicts, based on calculations of the frequency with which harmful mutations appear in the human genome and the assumption that 2,000 to 5,000 genes are required for intellectual ability, that within about 120 generations, humans will have sustained two or more harmful mutations to our intellectual and/or emotional stability. Dr. Crabtree argues that the combination of less selective pressure combined with the large number of somewhat easily mutated genes is eroding our intellectual and emotional capabilities.
This brings up the question of whether humans are actually "devolving" instead of continuing to evolve. Those who follow research showing the potential damage to the human body — including the brain — from pesticides, BPA and other chemicals we are now bombarded with might well wonder if environmental factors could be literally dumbing down huge numbers of people at the present time, too.
Dr. Crabtree doesn't seem too worried about humans possibly growing dumber, for whatever reasons. He assumes future technologies are will be able to "fix" the problem through science and medicine. "I think we will know each of the millions of human mutations that can compromise our intellectual function and how each of these mutations interacts with each other and other processes as well as environmental influences," Dr. Crabtree said in the media statement. "At that time, we may be able to magically correct any mutation that has occurred in all cells of any organism at any developmental stage. Thus, the brutish process of natural selection will be unnecessary."

A Fortune to Share
Vash Young grew up under harsh conditions in the beginning of the 20th century, but managed to turn deprivation and hardship to wealth and prosperity in the 1930's, when most other people suffered from the effect of the Great Depression. He reveals his secrets in this book, and the advices he gives are just as valid today as they were at the time of its writing. "It describes the only method of salesmanship that is without a flaw, that has no drawback. Its principles are as applicable to advertising as to sales manship. The first big advertiser who puts into his advertising such a conception toward competition and humility toward his own business will sweep the markets of the country like a prairie fire. Strictly it is not a business book, but in any list of business books it stands, I think, at the top." --from the preface by Earnest Elmo Calkins

We spend a lot of time thinking about our weddings. We think about the flowers, the dress, the invitations, the food and even the favors (and rightfully so!), but how much thought do we give to our marriage? The whole "till death do us part" or "as long as we both shall live" part of the experience? After all, a wedding is one day, but a marriage is a lifetime. I am the first to say that a wedding day is incredibly important, but with an astounding 86% divorce rate in Spokane, it's obvious that what engaged couples need more than anything, is preparation for the lifelong commitment they are about to make. To break it down that means that for every 100 marriage certificates, there were a whopping 86 divorces. I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but that stat is scary. I know every couple is different, but no matter who we are or where we find ourselves in our relationships, we should all take heed of a number like that. Not so it can predict our doom, but so it can help us be on guard.
Photo by Connie Riggio Photography
There are many pre-marriage courses in the Spokane area, but one of the more unique programs is Prepare-Enrich at Mosaic Church in Spokane. In this program, couples are paired with married couples to help them assess their relationship and get ready. I interviewed Pastor John Repsold of Mosaic Church to get his thoughts on the struggles facing couples, ways to prevent them and the terrifying 86% divorce rate.
What is the divorce rate in the Spokane area?
"According to the County Clerk and the local Superior Court, in 2009 there were 2,416 marriage licenses granted in Spokane County and 2,074 divorce decrees. That's a "divorce rate" of 86% on a year-to-year basis."
1.) What is/are the purpose(s)/reasons of/for marriage? What does marriage provide that simply living together doesn't.
2.) Expectations…. about a host of things–from in-laws to money to sex.
3.) Finances: values, attitudes, budgeting, debt, etc. This is one of the top 3 reasons couples divorce.
4.) Communication: how to "fight fair," levels of communication, best practices of communication, etc.
5.) Conflict resolution
Where do I begin?
- A no-to-low-commitment culture that affects how hard couples are willing to work when (not "if") they encounter marital challenges.
- Idealized and romanticized expectations in the culture about what marriage can deliver and is meant to do. I'm the first to say marriage is the greatest thing in the world (next to God), but it is also one of the most difficult and growth-inducing things you can ever do.
- Relational and emotional closeness/distance. There are more things than ever pulling at couples to fragment their time and energies away from their marriage. Lots of couples are simply drifting apart because they are giving so much time, energy, money, etc. to everything but their marriage.
- Really learning to love–to do what is in the best interest of your partner, especially when it costs you personally. This often requires that you put your pride aside, live selflessly, postpone your preference or desire in order to give to them what they need (not always the same as "want").
Honestly, I don't try and keep couples from struggles. I try and make them aware of the resources that exist for WHEN they have challenges. A marriage with no challenges is like someone who never exercises–they are usually overweight, don't take care of themselves, flabby and in poor health. It's exercise (resistance) that makes us healthier. In marriage it is challenges that grow us up and make us better people, better spouses. So struggles aren't bad in my book. It's all about how you respond to them and what you do with them. Secondly, we need to get rid of this idea that a good marriage is a trouble/struggle-free marriage.
It is realistic to say, "It's not a matter of IF you will have big marital challenges but WHEN. Have a plan of what you will do, who you will talk with, where you will go for counsel and advice WHEN your marriage gets hard. Conflict is neither good nor bad, it just is. What we do with it can be good or bad.
That said, here are a few things every couple, pre-marital or in marriage should be doing:
- Make marriage-building a regular priority for them. Set aside regular time each day or week to communicate face-to-face without other interruptions. Spend a little money each month on your marriage. After all, we spend hundreds of dollars on our cars every month (gas, maintenance, upkeep, insurance, parking fees, etc.). Marriages are far more important than anything like a car…even a Lamborghini! Most marriages spend less on their marriage than they do on an oil change.
- Don't try and "go it alone." There are tremendous marriage resources out there in good books, seminars, conferences, groups, churches, etc. Just because you can't figure a marriage issue out doesn't mean there isn't an answer for you somewhere. Too many people just give up too soon rather than run out of resources.
- Do the hard work of making marriage work. That means that couples must approach marriage as a dance in which they are going to learn new moves and steps all the way along. That requires change…which requires that each person change (hopefully for the better).
Marriage was never intended to be simply a duet; it was meant to be a trio…between a husband, a wife and God. (You might expect that answer from a pastor, right? 🙂 ) But having counseled hundreds of couples and worked with dozens of about-to-be-married couples, I really believe this. Even the sociological data backs this up. Couples who pray together, go to church together and share a relationship with God in common have a much higher rate of marital satisfaction and lower rate of divorce. I believe that is because if each spouse in a marriage feels responsible to God for their life and behavior, it changes and shapes the way they relate with each other. It also gives them a source of support and help they would not otherwise have. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of great marriages where neither partner has a God-relationship. But people tend to become like the gods they serve. If your god is money, you will become cold, hard, greedy, etc. But if the god you serve is loving, self-sacrificing, patient, kind, generous, etc., you will tend to become that yourself. That is also why I believe a genuinely Christ-centered marriage has the greatest potential to be a great marriage. Marriage was God's idea in the first place. He knows what makes it work best. Why not consult Him about how to make it successful?
What is Prepare Enrich?
Prepare/Enrich is a relationship inventory that is put out by an organization called Life Innovations. Life Innovations began in 1980 as a result of several research projects at the University of Minnesota in which Dr. David Olson developed a set of inventories for couples. Because of the demand for the inventories, Dr. Olson formed PREPARE/ENRICH (now called Life Innovations) to provide these helpful tools to counselors, clergy members, mentors and other marriage educators. They have trained over 100,000 PREPARE/ENRICH Facilitators in the U.S., and have international offices around the world. Over 3 million couples have completed one of the couple inventories world-wide. If you want more information, go to their web site at www.prepare-enrich.com.
Prepare/Enrich is actually not so much a program as a relationship inventory that takes sort of a "snap-shot" of a couple's relationship. It measures their relationship in a number of different areas and ways. For me as a marriage mentor, it helps me spot the areas that need more attention in a host of different issues about their relationship. It provides me the info needed not to waste their time or mine looking for the possible weaknesses or conflict areas in their relationship. It enables me to hone in on things that will hopefully be of most value to couples as they start this new chapter of life in marriage. It is definitely a personalized approach to each couple.

Representative monitoring on consumption of antibiotics in livestock
Suche in Medline nach
|12. November 2007
Context: Every use of antibiotic effective substances in veterinary medicine may result in the appearance of resistant bacteria. In Germany, no reliable data exist for the assessment of the consumption volume in livestock.
Aim of the study: A method to record representatively consumption volumes of antibiotics in livestock will be developed. Data will be sampled via statutory documents concerning treatment of animals and delivery of drugs to livestock owners. The problems of data collection in veterinary practices and in farms as well as processing and transmission of these data to the responsible federal authorities will be considered.
Material and methods: In Lower Saxony, 30 veterinary practices, and in North Rhine-Westphalia, 100 farms will take part at the study. The study period includes 1 September 2006 until 31 August 2007.
On the farms, antibiotic treatment has to be documented in a "farm book", whereas the veterinary practices must fulfil a form when treating animals or handing out drugs to farm owners. These data will be collected online into a central database system.
For each antibiotic several parameters are registered concerning the drug (substance and trade name), kind, number and age of animals, duration of application, indication, etc.
Results: To date we have developed a computer based system capable to collect the huge amount of data. Furthermore the data are analyzed immediately regarding missing details in the input form. Parameters concerning the drug application are checked simultaneously.
Discussion: The developed system should be part of a useful study concept for data collection and analysis.
At the end of the sampling period, the data will be analysed with respect to antibiotic consumption in different animal species, the compliance of the data as well as to estimations of consumption of antibiotics for the whole study region.

By this time in the season you've probably heard one or another rendition of the familiar Christmas carol about Santa's annual performance measurement regimen. Mr. Claus and team work hard to make sure the results of the North Pole poll are accurate. After all, it would never do to have children receiving gifts they don't want or deserve.
In his book, Proofiness: The Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception, Charles Seife points out that verification is also the cornerstone of good journalism.1 He writes, "Responsible reporters must take nothing for granted—only by basing every single sentence of your story upon observations or verifiable facts can you be assured that you're reporting the truth."2 Grittier newspaper veterans say it this way: "If your mother says she loves you, check it out."
But seeing may or may not be believing. Our powers of observation are limited and our senses can be easily deceived. And sometimes our judgment is inadequate. Unreasonable claims can seem credible to those of us with little knowledge of the domain the claim pertains to. My brother (an electrical engineer) reminded me of this when I sent him the link to a slick advertisement for the "ultimate all-in-one-device," the Pomegranate mobile phone. Like me, at first he wondered if this device is for real or not. But it didn't take him long to figure it out. He explained that the coffee brewing feature tipped him off to the hoax:
No cell phone battery has enough stored energy to heat a cup of water! There's a characteristic of materials called heat capacity—the measure of how much energy is required to raise the temperature of some given material by 1 degree Centigrade. The heat capacity of water is huge, more than twice that of silver. It's even larger than the heat capacity of iron. (This means it takes more energy to heat a little cube of water than to heat a little cube of iron.) I don't know how much energy it takes to heat a cup of water but I'd guess you'd need a dozen, or maybe more, large flashlight batteries.
Being a parody on our society's adoration of new gadgets, the trickiness of this ad is benign. It 's actual purpose is to entice viewers to spend their time on the real world experience of life in Nova Scotia.
There are, of course, plenty of phony claims broadcast into the infosphere for less than honorable reasons—claims with no bases in fact whatsoever. Seife calls phony quantitative claims Potemkin numbers. The name is from a legend about Russian Prince Potemkin, the consort of Catherine the Great. The prince wanted to convince the empress that the Crimea was a vital, thriving area. So, he built Potemkin villages, elaborate facades in the shape of villages and towns that appeared real from a distance. But they were fake and insubstantial. Potemkin numbers are the same thing—completely made up numbers.
Seife gives several examples of Potemkin numbers in his book. However, as an excuse for posting a fascinating holiday image that someone sent me (shown at right), I'll mention one qualitative Potemkin claim that Seife recounted: A 1950's cigarette advertisement promised "from first puff to last, Chesterfield gives you a smoke measurably smoother…cooler…best for you!"3 He wonders how such highly subjective attributes could be successfully defined, let alone measured.
More troubling than Potemkin numbers, though, are claims that are half-truths. While these are based on verifiable facts, the evidence behind these claims isn't nearly as weighty as their promoters suggest. One such partial truth is what Seife calls disestimation, "the act of taking a number too literally and understating or ignoring the uncertainties that surround it."4
Many library advocacy claims are disestimations. I saw an example this week in a story about an economic impact study done at the Free Library of Philadelphia. The story reports that the Free Library has been an essential resource for starting or improving an estimated 8,630 area businesses. Rather than saying "about 8,500 or 9,000" (a fairer portrayal of the data), 8,630 makes the findings seem more definite. Or, as Seife says, this pseudo-precision dresses a number up "as an absolute fact instead of presenting it as the error-prone estimate that it really is."
Exactly how exact is this 8,630 figure, anyway? Because neither the story nor the report say what sampling method was used, we can only guess. If survey respondents were self-selected, the findings are not likely to be an accurate reflection of the larger population of all active Free Library patrons. Probably, then, 8,630 is considerably slanted in some direction or other. (Maybe the true figure is closer to 2,000 or maybe it's closer to 12,000.) If probability sampling were used, survey results wouldn't match the larger patron population exactly. There will be some play in the data (sampling error), although in this case the figures will be more meaningful than figures from a self-selected (convenience) sample.
Regardless of the sampling method the researchers used, there is other noise (nonsampling error) in the data for other reasons, such as respondents misunderstanding questions or providing socially desirable answers, and so on.
Given these kinds of challenges in survey research, it would have been nice if the study researchers had talked more about the accuracy of their data. They might have explained how their assumptions affected the results and how different assumptions could produce different results. Or perhaps explore other data sources that could shine a light on their results. And why not give estimates as ranges, like "we think between 8,000 and 9,000 businesses"; or as a conservative minimum, like "at least 7,000 businesses"; or emphasizing the approximate nature of the data, like "roughly 8,500, give or take a few hundred"?
Sure, readers are more comfortable with supposedly clear-cut findings. Maybe something like:
Naughty: 8.347%
Nice: 91.653%
But they're also are interested in the truth, and the truth is that estimates are always fuzzy. When writing final reports and executive summaries, researchers should take the time to educate readers about this fuzziness.

Do you just want to clean a new dog up, pamper an old one, or please a parent? Then follow these simple steps to puppy paradise!
1Think of what you want to achieve. Do you want a clean puppy, happy puppy, or what? You choose! I want a satisfied pup, myself!
2Gather your supplies in a basket. They are listed below!
3Set up the working space. Go to the place where your dog will be bathed. For a bathroom, shut down the toilet so its surface can hold your basket. Lay a lot of towels down because your dog will shake! Open the curtain, and turn on the water. Fill it up about four inches, with room temperature water.
4Prep the pup! Go to your dog. Take off its collar, and brush its coat gently backwards to loosen up any waste, loose fur, and bugs.
5Bring your dog to the bathroom. Put him in, and get him calmed down and used to the water.
6Wet the coat. Cup water all over your dog until he is soaked all over. Dab the face with a wet cloth.
7Lather up the coat! Choose a suitable shampoo. Whitening, flea, and sensitive skin are popular choices. Rub the coat in with one or more shampoos. Lather from neck to tail, and rinse. Add conditioner for a better skin.
8Drain the water. As the water is draining towel down your dog as much as possible in the tub.
9Dry your dog with a towel. Dab the dog with a towel, pat it down, and rub him dry. Now, set your dryer to low and brush the hair backwards while drying until 80% dry so the skin won't dry out.
10Give a treat to your dog!
11Put back on the collar. Do so gently, and loosely until about two hours later when he is completely dry.
12Smelly-good! Spritz your dog with some puppy cologne for a fresh scent! Give a breath mint as well. Make sure it is for dogs though!
13Rub your dog's teeth down with cotton balls. This removes any extra plaque, and germs. If you have puppy toothpaste, use that!
14Remove any eye-boogies, and ear crud. The eyes should be mostly clean with the exception of boogies and tear streaks. Use a Q-tip gently on the ears.
15Clip the nails. Paint them as well if you want!Advertisement

So You Think You Can Dance
Episode 911 "Top 10 Perform"
August 22, 2012
I'm sorry for the delay this week but my efforts to bend space and time failed. It's time to see some of the old fan favorites dance with this year's current crop of dancers. How will the new compare with the old? I haven't heard who is returning this season so there should be some fun surprises!
7:00 A sparkly Cat introduces a rather boring Tyce Diorio homage to Gene Kelly. I'm typically not a fan of Tyce as a choreographer, so I'm biased but this just didn't do anything for me. However, we do need to talk about Gene Kelly's ex-wife in the audience because I thought she might have been his granddaughter at first. Gene Kelly would turn 100 years old tomorrow but he died in 1996, when he was 83. He married Patricia Ward in 1990 when he would have been 77. She was his third wife and was 37 when he died. That means she's 53 now so she has finally reached half of Gene's age. Gene's other two marriages were in 1941 and and 1960. Gene had three children, born in 1941, 1962, and 1964. Patricia was born in 1959. That's all I really wanted to say about this but it was all more facinating than Tyce's hodgepodge of choreography.
7:05 Cole has a slight injury! NOOOOOOOO!!! It doesn't sound too bad, however. He just sat out the group dance so he would be ready for his main routine.
7:06 Say hello to Benjamin "Natalie 'Black Swan' Portman" Millepied. I could talk about how their relationship started or how his name reminds me of millipedes (gross!), but let's just go with the fact that he's one of the most accomplished judges they've ever had on the panel, and not just because he's Natalie's baby daddy.
7:08 First up tonight is All-Star Brandon (S5) and Tiffany. Brandon will lift her 11 times during the performance which could be a record. Doriana Sanchez does not disappoint. ELEVEN TIMES! Nigel is quite astute in his observation that Tiffany's feet were never on the floor so it's difficult to critique her dancing. But her energy level was phenomenal throughout the performance which is no easy feat when dancing with Brandon. Even after all of that, he's STILL not breathing hard at all.
7:16 Season 1 All-Star (and winner) Nick teams up with Witney for a Travis Wall Ghost Ballroom routine. You probably didn't know that Ghost Ballroom was its own sub-genre, did you? It was kind of an interesting dance but the music and strobe lights distracted from the intended sexiness of the routine.
7:20 Former dancetestant Dmitry works with Anya and Cole for a cha-cha. I love Anya and while I loved this routine, the judges are considerably tougher on Cole. The incorporation of martial arts into the routine seemed forced but he sold it. For Mary, it came down to his less than fantastic footwork and lack of chemistry with Anya.
7:31 Our fourth performance of the night is by Jakob and Lindsay. It's a shadow dance! It's less of a partnered dance than a mirrored dance as even their outfits are similar. Lindsay outshines Jakob in Spencer Liff's piece. I'm not sure if this will get the votes tonight but it's my favorite so far. The Hot Tamale train had trouble getting out of the station earlier but this time, Lindsay is all aboard!
7:40 Cat's dress is a sparkly potato sack. Booooo!
7:41 More Bollywood? TOO SOON! Now that we've seen Bollywood so many times on this show, the routines (to my untrained eye) are really blending together. Will and Kathryn give it everything they possibly can but it's not particularly memorable. Again, I'm not an expert but I found Will's face mugging to be a distraction vs. Kathryn's more serious approach. It's interesting that the judges spend about 80% of the time talking about Kathryn. I like Will but I don't think Bollywood will be doing any favors for him tonight. However, Kathryn just might be enough of a pull to get people to pick up the phone.
7:47 Cyrus teams up with all-star Jamie (S3) and will work on a contemporary routine with Travis Wall. Cyrus is not fluid or properly restrained in his movements across the stage. This routine pushed Cyrus further than any other routine this season and as a result, Cyrus struggled. The judges are hesitant to say a bad word about him and instead remark on his passion and desire to dance. In terms of dancers who came into the competition "only being able to do one thing," Cyrus is among the least skilled. That said, I still think he's going to finish in the top 2.
7:57 Chehon works with all-star Lauren G for a Dave Scott hip-hop routine. This reminds me of a bad 90's music video which is probably not what Dave Scott was going for tonight. The judges like this one, too, and once again, talk about passion and performance to a crowd. Mary isn't quite as nice as Nigel and says it wasn't very memorable.
8:07 Tyce wants to take you to Paris for a raunchy rendezvous with Allison (S2) and George. The lifts looks a little forced but it's an overall winner. Allison steals the show and takes some of the spotlight away from George. It's a fun and engaging routine (but not very sexy and raunchy like Tyce said) and one that should keep George in the competition.
8:17 Our 8th dance pair of the night is Eliana and Alex. Stacey Tookey is the choreographer. I'm prepared to love this. Welcome back, Alex Wong! The two of them are so graceful and fluid in their dance steps that they're not even steps. It's enchanting and breathtakingly impossible to look away from for even a second. The judges award them with a standing ovation and it is so richly deserved. Shame on you, America, for ever putting her in the bottom three. The way the judges praise Eliana when Alex was so fantastic says so much after hearing the judges go on and on about the all-stars from the previous routines.
8:27 Audrey practices with tWitch for a hip-hop routine from Dave Scott about 400 year old … vampires? Sure, let's assume they're vampires even if it's unsaid. Can wee little Audrey keep the audience's eyes focused on her instead of tWitch? I was into the performance even it was a little kitschy. I hate to keep agreeing with Nigel but Audrey probably could have made her performance a little kookier, like it was Dave Scott choreographed with a Sonya twist.
8:33 After last week's vote, Witney and Audrey are in the bottom 2. Joining them in the bottom on the boys' side are Chehon and George. Without question, it feels like it's time for Chehon to go. I can only take so many more references to him not pointing his toes. As for girls, I would prefer to keep Audrey for another week.
8:34 That means that Cole, Will, Cyrus, Eliana, Lindsay, and Tiffany received enough votes to move on without having to perform a solo.
8:40 Witney gets us started with her fast-paced ballroom. It's a little too much of a "sexy pandering" solo and doesn't even compare to Lyndsay's solo last week. I give it a C+.
8:41 Audrey goes second and really put her heart into the routine. It looks technically fantastic and it's full of emotion. I give her a B+.
8:43 Next up is Chehon who finds himself in the bottom yet again. After a slow start, he throws in a lot of tricks and pirouettes but it fails to grab hold of me. B- for Chehon.
8:45 George's performance feels more raw and heartfelt and his tricks are more organic to the routine. Either he's a better self-choreographer or he's just that much better than Chehon at a solo, but this is a no-brainer. I'm giving George an A-.
8:46 Benjamin "Natalie 'Black Swan' Portman" Millepied choreographs the special performance of the night with dancers from his new dance company, LA Dance Project. The dancers are excellent and demonstrate perfect body control.
8:53 Are you ready for some results? Nigel announces that they are not unanimous tonight but that they will be saving Witney. Goodbye Audrey!
8:55 Nigel says that George's solo was the best he has ever danced on his show but that both of them have had trouble connecting with the audience. In a surprise move, they decide to keep Chehon and eliminate George.
9:00 I'm slightly surprised by the results tonight just because Chehon has had the roughest criticisms this season. That said, I haven't been too attached to any of the bottom four this week. Thanks for reading this week and let me know your thoughts on the eliminations.

Skyscraper for Sale
When Bob Ehrlich first ran for govenor in 2002, he pledged to help balance the budget by selling off some of the state's assets. He ran into a bit of trouble when he tried to accomplish that by selling state-owned parkland in St. Mary's County to a well-connected construction executive.
Now his latest bid, offering Baltimore's World Trade Center to the highest bidder at a time when its assessed value is half whatsome consider it should be, has raised some hackles.
State Treasurer Nancy K. Kopp (D) questioned last week whether the Ehrlich administration may have tried to deflate the value of the Inner Harbor landmark before selling it to a well-connected bidder -- a suggestion the administration strongly denied.
Two of the six bidders in the final consideration are Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos and 1st Mariner Bank Chairman Edwin F. Hale, according to a source familiar with the sale who declined to be identified because the bidding process is intended to be confidential.
Both bidders have close ties to leading Maryland political figures -- Angelos was a hefty backer of Ehrlich's, while Hale has donated to both parties and is close to Gov.-elect Martin O'Malley (D). The official did not reveal the identities of the other bidders.
Kopp says state officials have refused to sign new leases or renew expiring ones, essentially devaluing the property. "It raises very serious questions in my mind," Kopp said Friday, after being briefed on the sale by state real estate officials.
"I find it disturbing that a signature building is sitting half-empty, and I don't understand why the administration would have allowed that to happen," Kopp said. "I don't know enough to accuse anyone of doing something wrong. But I am concerned about that possibility."
State Transportation Secretary Robert L. Flanagan said everything his agency did to prepare the building for sale was done at the behest of the state's real estate consultants, all with the goal of maximizing the value to taxpayers.
"The goal is to effectuate the sale in the way that promotes public confidence in the process that we've gone through," Flanagan said. "That's my most important goal."
ADD: State officials have now agreed to wait until after O'Malley takes office to effectuate the sale, and Angelos has withdrawn his bid

Thank Goodness for Peter Franchot. The last paragraph of the Post story -
"... the other incoming member, Comptroller-elect Peter Franchot (D), has been clear about how he would vote."
"The building, if it were ever sold, shouldn't be sold for a penny less than $80 million," Franchot said. "This is one of the real estate jewels of the Eastern Seaboard, and it would be a sale against the interests of the taxpayers if we accepted anything less."
Let's hope the sale is delayed and a true defender of the public interest is in a position to protect Maryland's taxpayers.

I agree with the comments of ETerry, even if Franchot's remark that the building is one of the "jewels of the eastern seaboard" seems a bit overblown. But,I think I heard on WAMU today, that Franchot had established a forty person plus transition team, headed by Doug Duncan.
I'm not really sure what I heard/didn't hear, but forty plus for Comptroller, sounds to me like delusions to grandeur, competition with O'Malley for the largest transition team etc. etc. Can anyone shed any light?
Posted by: Count Bobulescu | November 21, 2006 9:03 PM | Report abuse
The "Skyscraper for Sale" deal will go though like Duncan's Yeshiva school deal. Comptroller-elect Peter Franchot must have received Abramoff's dirty campaign money via Duncan.
It is a slick back door entry for Duncan into Franchot's office that too after hip surgery and "fake" depression.
With Duncan heading Franchot's transition team, the Comptroller's office will now be packed with crooks, cronies and the cabal. Maryland coffers will be fleeced Duncan style.
Congratulations are in order for Peter Angelos - he hit a home run by planting Duncan on Franchot.

Many Democratic activists in the District 20 are angry with Peter Franchot for aligning with Doug Duncan.

The Longview Food Drive held their annual Thanksgiving event at Maude Cobb Convention Center. This has helped families across East Texas have a great Thanksgiving. They provide potatoes, macaroni, corn bread, turkey, and other traditional foods.
"I would not have a Thanksgiving if it was not for these people," Recipient Willie Reese says. "I thank God that I can cook Thanksgiving dinner for my grandchildren."
Reese's grandchildren came with her to the drive and said they have many things to be thankful. "I am excited to see my family and friends this Thanksgiving," Grandson Frederick Duffie says.
More than a thousand grocery packs were available. Any food leftover is sent to local charities in East Texas. Volunteers organized the packs on Monday and helped distribute them.
Nine year old Caleb Purifly has worked the food drive for two years. "It's great to help people who can't afford groceries," Purifly says. "It really makes me happy."
As people left, they shared their gratitude to all the volunteers.
"Thank you for all you have done to make me and my family have a great Thanksgiving," Reese says.

Our 49th state has long been known for its colorful politics, and arguably the nation's most insulting bumper stickers.
The Sierra Club was vilified by gung-ho developers in days when Congress was creating big national parks and wildlife refuges in Alaska. Pickup trucks in towns like Ketchikan and Wrangell carried stickers reading: "Sierra Club: Kiss my Axe."
The environmentalists struck back when log-it, drill-it, dam-it U.S. Interior Secretary James Watt flew in on an inspection tour in the early 1980's. They arranged to give him a 21-chainsaw salute.
No figure has aroused more passion that sometime Gov. ("We can't just let nature run wild") Wally Hickel. Anti-Hickel graffiti artists blocked out three letters on Wally's signs, leaving the slogan "Ick for Governor." An even nastier sticker appeared on cars, reading "I'm part of the Huck Fickel Fan Club."
The tradition continues. After 39 years on Capitol Hill, Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, is fighting for political life after being convicted on felony charges of failing to report gifts from an oil industry crony.
The 84-year-old Uncle Ted remains defiant, and backers have come up with a new sticker slogan:
"Vote for Ted Until He's Dead."

Okay, yesterday I took my 1st tumbling class to help me with future wakeboarding tricks. They had me to back hand springs, back tuck rolls, forward tuck rolls and some other stuff. It felt pretty good, even though I was spotted and helped, but it was a cool feeling to flip. They also gave me some great tips and I feel much more comfortable to try things on my own trampoline.

Anyone else have gymanstic experience?

I think I will take 1 month of gymnastics and then go on my own. I just need some basics. My dancing background helped alot!
all those flips were done on the trampoline, not ground yet!!
Talked with tumbling coach and they have me practicing back tucks for future wakeboarding moves. lol

The instructor, his son, is a wakeboarder so he knows the importance of safety and flipping.

He also said as I progress we will tie a rope to the pole in gym and practice flipping with handle. SWEET!
that sounds like so much fun, and so helpful too!

i wish i had the time and the money to put into classes like that right now...

Members Nathan - Vocals Chuck - Guitar Gina - Bass Jason - Drums
Was there a particular style you guys were aiming for or did it naturally progress to what you guys sound like today? Nathan- We know what we like, so we just play individually what we like and because our tastes are slightly different, that's where we've arrived at our sound. I think we all kind of plugged in our different tastes that we individually like. How do you express what you want to sound like to people? I don't know how you do that without having a point of reference. I think we just started playing and when something we liked came out, we said, "Hey, I like what we just did there. Let's do that again real quick." Chuck– Something that's really important for any band that's trying to craft an original sound is that things progress organically and it's mainly off of each other's influence. What Nathan is saying is that we have a lot of similarities in the music that we listen to, but there are probably an equal number of differences between what we like. Jason and I probably have more similarities than anyone else but even we like a lot of different things and on any given day, I might pop off a riff and it catches Nathan's ear. Same thing with Gina. She came in one day with this little progression for "Tell Me When You Want It To Stop" and it's simple and basic, but it's catchy as hell and we just kind of plugged into it and took off with it. So would you say that your style still sounds the same or is there a little bit of a difference? Nathan– I think you'll see from what we originally did on the very first album, it is a broad range of us working out different themes and we wanted to get that album out, so we picked and chose different stuff.
"Bathing In You" for example, compared to "Exit Wounds" or "Eyeful" or "Borne" are completely different songs. Gina wrote Borne 10 years ago, so we have all these different themes. I don't know if the next album will still have those differences but you'll see it's us heading or moving, and not necessarily to a destination. Jason– I'd say it's constantly evolving and changing. We all get a little bored with repetition and we always have to change it up somehow. Chuck– You'll hear this from a lot of different bands and it's true, each song that we come up with kind of ends up becoming a representation of that moment in time or that period in time. It was how we were thinking or what we were feeling that day. That new song that we played for you, "Staying on The Zero" with that riff that I came up with actually came about when I came into the band room after having a really difficult day and it just came out. I just picked a couple of notes and started hitting it in a certain rhythm. Nathan– And I was really sick. I was heavily medicated. You Wrote lyrics when you were heavily medicated? Nate– Yes and it was fantastic. Chuck– The first time that I played the riff and it wasn't even one of those moments where I was like, "Hey everybody check out this riff." I was noodling around and I just hit it. Nathan stopped me and said, "What was that? Play that again. I like that." We took off from there. Has Some Fear None gone beyond your expectations? If so, how have your goals continued Threat Con Nation Magazine
and aspirations changed to meet your next hurdles? Gina– The answer to that question is yes. Obviously. I think anybody who starts in the music industry has a goal where they want to become famous. I mean nobody says, I just want to write songs in my room by myself and play for myself except for maybe Shawn Ernst. I think subconsciously our goals are to make it big. In hindsight, I don't think that we anticipated to accomplish what we have accomplished in such a short period of time either. I think we've worked really hard and what we are doing hasn't come easy or naturally, but I think at the same time, we're all equally impressed and excited with what's happened. What is the one thing you hope people take away from a Some Fear None Show? Chuck– A t-shirt. No, actually a merch pack would be ideal. (joking) Honestly, One thing that I would want people to take away from a Some Fear None show is memories. Memories of feeling impressed and that feeling you get when you discover something that you would be willing to come back for.
Nathan– Being the one that writes all these lyrics, I'm always trying to tell a story. I always want it to be something that the band thinks is cool or agrees with, and it's a constant thing for me to try to make sure that whatever I'm saying is representative of what we want to portray. I actually think a lot about that when I'm writing, but it's not all about words. it's about the music too and the combination. I think that somehow in some way, everybody kind of has a soundtrack to their life. If you think about different experiences that you have and you can tie some of them to music, If you heard a song, you go, this song reminds me of that trip that we took to the mountains or to the beach or to the whatever. That's part of the soundtrack I'm talking about, people take music and they tie it into their lives. I would love for somebody, even if it's just one person at every one of our shows, to find a place for our songs in their life soundtrack. Where do you see Some Fear None in 5 years from now? Gina– I'd like to play Wembley Stadium.

be doing that this year. A lot of it has to do with collaborating and giving people a different view of what a local band can do. It won't be anything you've ever seen us do before. Chuck– But it won't be the last time you see this sort of thing. It's something that I think expands a band's horizons, not to sound too cliché, but in ways that sort of elevates that band to a different status and showing that diversity is instrumental in establishing yourself as something more than just this band. What makes Some Fear None happy?
on it. I look out past Nathan's head because I'm in the back. Gina's flying around over here and Chuck's flying around over there. I see a big crowd of people and they're moving in unison. I'm pumped. That makes me happy. Nathan– We had a show in Reno and we were down in the green room. Karl (SFN Manager) came down. He told me the place was packed. I remember everything changed for me. It's packed! I had no idea there would be this sea in front of us.
Chuck– I'll tell you the other part to that. Jason– Fans make us happy. We are staring What gets me pumped up is the very second out over a crowd and there's 50 to 1,000 that we finish a song and you hear people people. You just get pumped. That's my take continued Threat Con Nation Magazine
just light up. There's that moment whether you're a performer or a spectator, I think on both sides of that equation; there's that moment when the song stops and you can just let go and be like, "Yes, that was the baddest ass thing that I've experienced in the last 31/2 to 4 minutes and I can't wait for the next 31/2 to 4 minutes because I was so pumped up off what they just did." That feedback you get from the crowd when you finish a song is priceless. That does it for me.
Nathan– I think the better question would be the "Why?" I have no history in Sacramento's music scene. Literally none. I'm a person who doesn't have any history, but kind of just dropped in the scene about three years ago. I took a very deliberate position to find out what the scene is about. I've dedicated literally years of meeting people, promoters, venues, and learning the system.

We are doing this for the love of music and that's why I was having a hard time answering your question about where we see ourselves in 5 years. It's less important to me than it is to enjoy everything that we're doing It's been a huge goal for Some Fear None to on the way and when it's all said and done, be the band that everybody knows as being we will have fun and just have a blast. hard working, that are nice, and that are soChuck– That in itself is an investment in the cialable.

We had to figure ourselves out and figure out how to protect ourselves. Now, I absolutely love every show we've done at Ace of Spades because we've made a point to bring a band that has never played there before. It didn't matter how many tickets you sold.

As well, the song "I Love NYC" is a staple at most New York Mets games, and "She is Beautiful" was also featured on the soundtrack to the movie "Freaky Friday", starring Lindsay Lohan (pre-collapse) and Jamie Lee Curtis. This initial success helped garner a loyal fan base for Andrew, especially in a far flung place like Japan, where his later releases The Wolf (2003), Close Call With Brick Walls (2006), and his Japan only release Gundam Rock (2009), which was him covering songs from the Gundam anime series. As well, his tenacious touring schedule helped him earn a permanent spot on 2010's Vans Warped Tour. In addition to his powerful music, Andrew has taken his positive message of partying and having a good time to other forms of media.

Well, back to the 2013 Assembly show. Normally, Andrew has a full backing band helping him crank out his hellacious tunes, but that partic-
ular night, it was just Andrew, his piano, and a fellow musician named "Leggy" (I think). Leggy had nothing but a microphone for him to use as a back -up vocalist. Sounds weird, right?
During the mayhem of that particular song, I looked on stage and realized something that I wouldn't have seen anywhere else. People from all walks of life: young guys, middle aged women, large shirtless men, and even people dressed in their Sunday best were up there singing along and partying their hearts out as one united group. It was truly amazing to see that so many people could come together and celebrate Andrew W.K.'s party-tastic message. I have yet to go to a show that could bring together people like that in such a positive way.
Well, once they took the stage, and the backing music began blasting through the P.A.'s speakers, the crowd went absolutely berserk. Myself included. It was just in your face, high energy, party rock at its finest. Everyone around me knew every single word, musical moment, and scream that was issued from Andrew himself.

Crowd response: Cheers and screams. I looked over to the side and Leggy is talking to the security guys, about what I have no idea. Immediately, Andrew kicks into "Party til You Puke", and the crowd gets to dancing, moshing, and whatever else they wanted to do at that particular moment. One guy gets on stage and starts dancing, then another, then two shirtless guys, and five more guys all flailing around and screaming at the top of their lungs as best as they could. The party had moved to the stage and during every song after that, the crowd would surge onstage and party with Andrew. Even yours truly wound up there headbanging and screaming with the rest of them. Andrew even reworked the lyric of "I Love NYC" to "I Love Saramento". Threat Con Nation Magazine

When you were in the Cattle Club, the only thing that mattered was what was happening in the Cattle Club for the night. The rest of the world was put on hold. The Cattle Club was known for it's talented local bands that were booked every night. Sure there have always been those bands that people say do not belong on the stage, but 99.5 % of the time, a damn good time was bound to happen and it did.
After talking with some musicians who were in bands from the 90's, I learned a few things that could change some minds of hose that say things could never be the same again, or possibly light a fire under their little tushies to help bring back what we all miss. Certain techniques, relationships, and taking back Sacramento is on my agenda as long as Sacramento bands give me a chance to learn from them.
The question remains, do they really have to? Have they realized in a world full of corrupt politics and the so called "apocalypse" that maybe, just maybe, there is that one fighting chance we can bring it back before it all comes to an end.
for awhile until they took a break and made a comeback not to long ago, but what is it going to take to get people in the right position to do the right thing? What do we need to do as a music community to come together and take back Sacramento?

Will we ever be able to make this scene live up to the 90's? I hate calling it a scene, it's a community people; Music community. Definition of community: A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. Some will say no, but I have to say yes. First there are a few things that need to change in order for this to happen again. Who am I? I am that guy that gives a shit about what led to me doing what I do now. Bands like Snapdraggin, Far, Simon Says, Deftones, Cake, Oleander, and way too many for me to mention played a role in a dream that I hoped to fulfill, Unfortunately that dream came to a halt before it even started.
There are so many variables that could be ignored to fill the pockets of some. The other side of those variables are argued to fulfill a dream, a dream as a musician. To have that chance to be heard by the right person. Some just want to play with no intention on making it to the big stage, but there are those that are busting their ass trying to make it, and trying their damnedest to make it through all the political bs just to share something with you. Have people forgot the true meaning of what music does for people? Music makes us feel alive. With music, we connect with others on a level that is unexplainable. Some make babies to music. continued Threat Con Nation Magazine
Whatever one individual's reason is, we all need music, but should others road block the path to a musician's dream,? That dream of a musician could save the life of one person and I totally can relate.

Roseville may not be the most punk-friendly city in America, but one man is taking charge in his own unique way. Tim Williamson brings his own flavor of punk, ska, and rock to the table, regardless of what your initial perception of his town could be. Splitting his duties between lead vocals and guitar for his 3 piece punk outfit Rebel Radio, and bass for the rock band Constellations, Williamson maintains a very busy schedule. I first met Tim at an open mic at Shady Coffee and Tea back in 2011, when he busted out an acoustic guitar and played an Operation Ivy cover to a patio filled with a very hip crowd, and rocked every second of it. From there, Williamson and the rest of Rebel Radio have played all through Sacramento and Roseville, even opening for such punk mainstays as Agent Orange and Suburban Legends. Williamson, along with his band mates Jason Sensation on bass and Jerred Whitbey on drums, have also put out their first full length album White People Problems which is available for sale at all their shows, and at http://www.reverbnation.com/rebelradio916. 18
Threat Con Nation Magazine
As I sit down with Williamson, he mentions that Rebel Radio and Constellations are both playing at The Press Club on February 4th. To which he adds, offhanded and with a laugh: "We have done that a couple of times and it usually almost kills me." This positive attitude that Williamson brings to all his projects is what both keeps him going and makes for great, fun shows. He even cracks a joke about Constellations, by saying, "Our keyboardist [Constellations] has his own studio kind of set up, so its a seemingly neverending cycle of recording", he remarks with another round of hearty laughter.
As for Constellations, they are a departure from Williamson's usual punk motif and draw on multiple influences to make their own unique brand of rock music themselves, as he put it. He also adds, "The one guitarist that sings a lot more, Leshanta [Perera], a guy I have known for a long time, he used to be a rapper. He's really good. He was also in punk bands when we were kids, so he is all over the place". These two guys, along with Tony Eddlemon on vocals/guitar, Shea Ritchie on keys, and Josh Branard on drums combine to create something that is a bit of a departure from Williamsons punk roots. For a sample of what they sound like, check out their website at www.consband.com. As for the future for Williamson, Rebel Radio is also playing at Luigi's Fungarden on March 21st, a venue that he calls "a sweet place" and for a man with his punk background, who could argue? Williamson's attitude towards Rebel Radio is, as he puts it, "Its a band full of buddies who just like to make music and have fun, and that suits me very well with my background". And suits him it does. Williamson and his crew are always a great sight to see play and will leave you either smiling, dancing, or laughing so hard you spill your drink.
