Listening to the Book: Chapter 5
Joe Sullivan was a legend but was also a drunk. He was a sloppy player, which could be heard in this version of "Back O'Town Blues" from Boise in late February 1952. Though it's a simple 12-bar-blues, Sullivan isn't listening and changes in all the wrong spots for the first half of the tune. Two nights later, he apparently fell off the piano bench in the middle of a performance and that was that. Here's "Back O'Town Blues":
Sullivan was immediately replaced by Marty Napoleon, still going strong at the age of 90! Marty didn't have Sullivan's hall-of-fame resume but his turbo-charged style made him, to my ears, the most exciting pianist the All Stars ever had. Here's his fantastic feature on "St. Louis Blues":
[NOTE: I originally posed "Limehouse Blues" instead of "St. Louis Blues," which some loyal readers pointed out. I never want to deprive anyone out of Marty, so here's "Limehouse," too!]
In this chapter, I also describe a terrific concert the All Stars did in May of that year in Louis's hometown of New Orleans. The entire concerts survives in great sound but has never been issued commercially. Here's a hot sample, an appropriate "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans":
It was also in this concert that Louis told his favorite "hamburger" joke, which I transcribed faithfully. Here's how it came out that day:
Skip ahead to the fall of 1952 now as Arvell Shaw returned to the group and Trummy Young replaced Russ Phillips on trombone. I have a lot of background on Trummy, including Louis's influence on his playing. That influence can be heard on this version of "Basin Street Blues" from Stockholm in October 1952, almost immediately after Young joined the band. The song had always been a feature for Teagarden so Louis threw it at Trummy, who responded with a charming performance full of Louis-isms:
The 1952 tour was a grueling one but God bless the Europeans for keeping their tape recorders on and catching so much of it. For proof that the All Stars changed things up more than they were given credit for, here's a breathtaking "On the Sunny Side of the Street" from September 1952, slow and steady and clocking in around seven minutes:
Just a few weeks later, here it is again in Italy, a faster, more swinging version to prove that not only did Louis pull from a large repertoire during this trip (which I'll prove again in another upcoming "Anatomy of an All Stars Show" post) but he could also approach songs in different ways depending on the mood of himself and/or his audience:
If you want to know more about these versions of "Sunny Side," here's a blog I did on the subject.
And finally, I could pull plenty of performances from this 1952 tour as there were plenty of great ones (and even some erratic ones as the never-ending pace--and Pops's rapid weight gain--sometimes strained the chops), but I'll quit now and leave with one of my all-time favorite Louis moments: a live-by-request version of "Pennies From Heaven" from Stockholm in 1952. I did an entire blog on this performance that can be found here. But if you just want to listen to it, click here:
Now if that doesn't brighten your day, nothing will. And I know that for many readers out there, there might be some dark days ahead courtesy of Hurricane Irene. I live in Toms River, NJ, right on the Jersey Shore, and though my town hasn't been asked to evacuate, we're fully prepped to be spending a few days in our basement, all stocked up with food and water. So may all my East Coast readers emerge safely in the next few days and as soon as I do the same, I'll be back with more great Pops.

Hi Ricky,
Hope you and your family are okay. From what I saw on the news Irene seemed to hit hardest upstate. So I'm hoping that the only effect of 2 days in the basement is a bumper blog for your loyal readers!
Cheers, Peter
P.S. The Universal boxset just arrived and it is a thing of beauty! Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Thanks for continuing the 'Listening to the Book Chapters" posts !
Shangai & Back o' Town Blues are incredible (rare) examples of musically not successful presentations on stage, just like an amateur jam session. Interesting to see that even to Satchmo occurred such moments (which, to be fair, happened due to his respective sidemen).
PS: The audio clip featuring Marty Napoleon posted here ist not 'St. Louis Blues', but 'Limehouse Blues'.
best regards from Germany

It doesn't matter if you do more than one list the idea is to give people ideas of what to read next...eg I've noticed quite a few people mention Sandman by Neil Gaiman, and Men Against the Sea sounds like a must read for me .

10 Whimsical Upside-Down Houses
As the young heroine of our favorite title in the literary nonsense genre proclaimed, "if I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would." In keeping with the nonsensical theme, we've explored one of the weirdest design genres that we can't quite wrap our heads around: the upside-down house.
We think the architects behind these wacky creations must have had Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in mind; after all, who hasn't been inspired by Lewis Carroll's timeless tale of falling down a rabbit hole into a land where it's always time for tea, solicitous caterpillars smoke hookahs, and turtles, lobsters and fictional beasts square dance. From Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle's take on a famous work of uncompleted architecture to a capsized cabin in California to an upside down house complete with an inverted car park, click through to check out our dizzying roundup of overturned architecture. Could you ever live in a house flipped on it's head?

Don't Mess With Texans' Hard-Earned Success
By U.S. Sen. John Cornyn
Texans have long prided ourselves on a strong spirit of independence and a can-do attitude. We think big; we set ambitious goals; and we work hard to accomplish them. That's why many Texans did not take too kindly to words spoken by President Obama earlier this month. In a speech that highlighted ways the government has helped Americans to achieve success, he said, "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
To the contrary, I've heard from and met with a number of Texas business owners who can claim, "I built this." These entrepreneurs credit hard work and personal creativity—not government assistance—as the keys to their individual success.
These are folks like Frank Scantlin, whose story is a true example of the American Dream. As a child, Frank was so poor that at times he could not afford to buy new shoes. Times were so tough that Frank had to quit school in ninth grade to help his mother put food on the table and a roof over their heads.
Despite such challenges, Frank persevered. Through hard work and determination, he founded Sunbelt Machine Works in 1978, with his wife Mary, in Stafford, Texas. With a staff of just three individuals, Mary occasionally had to drive the trucks, in addition to serving as bookkeeper and secretary. What began with only 2,100 square feet of work space today has evolved into a full-scale business that manufactures precision-crafted components, employs 90 Texans, and has a combined footprint covering almost 60,000 square feet.
Of course, not every company sees the same success Frank has experienced. But that is the nature of free markets. Texans understand this. We also understand the proper role of government in fostering entrepreneurship and job creation. Our pro-growth agenda of low taxes, limited government and sensible regulation provides all the "stimulus" job creators need.
You can see more stories like Frank's on a new site I've created called "I Built This." If you would like to share your entrepreneurial success story with the President and claim "I built this," please visit www.cornyn.senate.gov to submit your story. I will post your story on my website, send it to the White House and let President Obama know that the government is not responsible for your success – you are.
Sen. Cornyn serves on the Finance, Judiciary, Armed Services, and Budget Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee's Immigration, Refugees and Border Security subcommittee. He served previously as Texas Attorney General, Texas Supreme Court Justice, and Bexar County District Judge.

Fox News Chart Helps Paint Distorted Picture Of America's Defense Spending
Blog ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
Fox News opened a discussion on potential defense budget cuts with a graph which tracked changes in the United States' defense spending, pushing the distortion that the U.S. is lagging behind China and Russia. But Fox neglected to acknowledge the actual amount these countries expend on defense; in reality, U.S. defense spending is greater than the next 12 top-spending countries combined.
On the February 12 edition of America's Newsroom, host Bill Hemmer displayed a graph comparing the growth in the defense budgets of China, Russia, and the United States from 2007 - 2011. The chart, which assumed that sequester cuts to the U.S.'s defense budget will take effect, projected the change in these countries' defense budgets through 2015.
Hemmer explained that, "We just wanted to give viewers at home an idea about what countries are doing over the past four years and the coming four years from here," and that for the current year on defense spending, "China goes up, Russia goes up, and the U.S. remains flat when compared to these other two countries." In the next four years, Hemmer claimed, "on the percentage they will contribute on their defense budget, China is about 300 percent increase, Russia's not too far behind, [and] the United States is not only flat, but it's trailing now as we move toward the year 2015." The graph segued into a discussion with Fox military analyst Major General Robert Scales on how cuts to the U.S. defense budget will harm our military capacity.
Fox's chart, focused exclusively on growth in defense spending across a specific period of time compared to 2004 budgets, suggests China and Russia are far out-scaling the U.S. on defense spending. But date constraints and percentage change in budgets are meaningless outside the context of actual expenditure. Hemmer conveniently disregarded the actual dollar amount the U.S. spends on defense compared to China and Russia.
The U.S. spends more on defense than the next 12 top-spending countries combined. PolitiFact examined data by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), both "considered to be leading authorities on worldwide military spending numbers," and determined that, "In 2011 -- the most recent year available -- the United States led the world in military spending at $711 billion ... The next top 12 spending nations accounted for a combined total of $670.9 billion." IISS data discovered that the U.S spends $252.6 billion more on defense than the next top nine nations.
SIPRI also found that U.S. military spending accounted for 41 percent of the world's total military spending in 2011. The U.S.'s expenditure is about five times more than the second-highest spender, China, which accounted for 8.2 percent of the world total. Russia's military spending is in third place with 4.1 percent.
The United States' defense spending compared to the rest of the world looks something like this, from George Washington University's School of Media Public Affairs:
When weighing the percentage of GDP a country dedicates to defense spending, the U.S. still leads China and Russia. The World Bank charts military expenditures from the U.S, Russia, and China as a percentage of their GDP from 2003 - 2011:
If sequester cuts take effect, however, the Pentagon's budget will be reduced by $42.7 billion. But no serious discussion of changes to the U.S. defense budget is legitimate without disclosing the realities of where America's defense spending currently stands compared to the rest of the world.

These advances include minimally invasive surgical techniques (laparoscopic and robotic), ostomy bag alternatives, and other procedures that preserve normal bowel functions. For example, our surgeons recognize the importance of sphincter-sparing treatments that allow most colorectal cancer patients to heal after surgery with the ability to pass bowel movements naturally without an ostomy bag. Expertise and teamwork If you require colorectal surgery because of cancer or a benign disease, you want to feel confident in your care. Our surgeons are experts in recent advances and traditional treatments. They are all members of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) and are board certified in colorectal surgery. They participate nationally, serving on committees and giving presentations across the country. And our surgeons don't just perform surgery, they teach it. For almost four decades Baystate Medical Center has been the Western Campus of Tufts University School of Medicine. Our surgeons today are training the surgeons of tomorrow. The colorectal surgeons at Baystate Medical Center offer a collaborative approach to patient care that may include registered nurses, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and genetic counselors, as well as colleagues in other specialties -- such as gastroenterology, radiation therapy, medical oncology, urology, UroGyn and GynOnc. Everyone works together to find the best treatment approach for you. It's all about quality of life Studies have shown that patients treated by colon and rectal surgeons have excellent results because of high quality care. These patients will pay less for care because of fewer complications. The real measure of success, though, is you. We know the ultimate quality of our work is measured by the quality of our patient's lives.

There are probably a few days a year that I skip so a wetsuit for those days isnt worth it. a 6m kite though for the twice a year I need it - totally worth it.

Strategic Workforce Planning in Global Organizations
- Authors:
Publication Date:
January 2010
Many organizations struggle to determine exactly how to deploy strategic workforce planning (SWP) globally. Not only must SWP address different business and workforce challenges from one country to the next, but it often takes a few years to determine which aspects of SWP should be conducted at the country or business-unit level and which should be led at the enterprise level. The answer may not be the same for every company. This report describes how SWP adds value by helping global companies make better business decisions. It details what it takes for companies to advance from a fledgling effort to a more robust version of SWP. Included are observations about the impacts of the recent recession on SWP.

I'm about to talk about Israel and Palestine ... Let's hope it doesn't end up like this...
Well, actually, it's not really Palestine and Israel I want to talk about but the use of information and communications in war.
There has been something different about the coverage of Israel's latest offensive against Gaza. Israel is usually understood to be a master at controlling the narrative. But, something has changed. You could argue that in previous conflicts Israel has killed civilians, including children and aid workers. You could also argue that there have been demonstrations against Israel's use of force before, or that Israelis and Jews around the world have stood against the actions of the government in other cases. 2014, however, will be remembered as the year that Israel lost the narrative wars. Some have said to me that a bit of bad coverage in some outlets and the recalling of the ambassador of Brazil account for little. But I bet Israeli policy makers see it differently. For them, losing public support for their actions in Western Europe and North America has a direct, real-world impact.
Israel's predicament has been picked up the mainstream press:
Channel 4 News reporter Paul Mason, makes some very good observations from a reporter's perspective - and bear in mind that for reporters, social media being used to report and consume news, is a sort of professional competitor:
- Twitter provides an unfiltered, alternative news source - one that young Americans trust more than traditional networks
- Journalists are reporting via tweets from inside Gaza - these comments, pictures etc are not filtered by editors
- The collective assessment of information that happens via social media makes it difficult for governments to provide their own gloss on events and makes it easier to quickly spot wrong information
- It is harder for ordinary members of the public to avoid the human tragedy of a violent event when friends and family are flooding your Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc timelines
New York Magazine outlines how this has affected the way audiences see the conflict:
"I think the way the last two weeks have unfolded in the Western media has made it more difficult for Americans not personally invested in the conflict to simply assume that the Israelis are necessarily right. There is a reason that apolitical celebrities like Dwight Howard and Rihanna were tweeting out messages of support for Palestine. They, like the rest of us, are seeing the Palestinians a little bit less as demagogues and terrorists and a little bit more as they see themselves, as ordinary people living in often impossible circumstances."
I think it is highly probable that this conflict will be studied by information operations, strategic communications and political communications practitioners in the future. Israel is losing the media war largely because the environment (technology, Western popular exposure to the Middle East, the media industry etc) has changed. Similar factors to those that are upending the news industry are making it difficult for those who developed tactics for influencing it to carry on as before. Whereas in the past, it might have been enough to influence a few gatekeepers (eg. correspondents, editors, proprietors), today there are few obvious individuals to influence.
However, in a recent report about the Syrian conflict and social media, Marc Lynch made the point that gatekeepers hadn't been removed altogether, only that they had been replaced by informal networks that collect and curate information. He also raised the point that news consumers tend to gravitate to those sources of information that they already agree with - which calls into question thoughts that what we are seeing is a movement towards the democratisation of information and therefore a more just and equitable outcome.
In the specific example of Israel; I'm guessing that the reaction we are seeing is a result of a number of factors, including those already mentioned in the articles I've linked to above. But one that hasn't been mentioned is how the new environment affects Israel's existing strategy. I'd have to admit I'd be guessing at what Israel's outreach strategy would be, but having seen the output I would say that it broadly aimed at creating the overall impression amongst mainstream Western audiences (ie. not the religious right) that Israel and its society is familiar, comfortable and friendly (i.e. culturally and politically similar), but to avoid or downplay too much focus on the conflict with Palestinians.
If this strategy is undermined every time there is a similar conflict, Israel will have to reassess its actions in the future. However, for Palestinians to turn this coverage into concrete actions that improve the lives of the population of Gaza, the Hamas and PLO leadership will need to take political steps on the back of the coverage.

I received the newest Connecting Threads catalog and they have some great prices in there this time. www.connectingthreads.com.
I seem to remember discussions about the Fons and Porter Design Wall. Since it's on sale in this catalog, I was thinking of ordering it. Is it worth ordering and did anyone find it useful?
The other day there was a post about a gadget called the Satinedge Presser Foot. Someone asked if anyone had used it. I did put in an order after viewing it online and really was amazed that it does work and I'm the biggest klutz in the world.

Earlier this afternoon, Celeb Boutique — the "online boutique loved by your fave celebs and your new addiction" — realized that #Aurora was trending. "OMG!" someone who will almost certainly be fired later today thought to themselves. "It must be thanks to Kim Kardashian!"
But no, Celeb Boutique. People were not "clearly" talking about Aurora thanks to your Kim K inspired Aurora dress.
After about an hour (and a few thousand lost Twitter followers and angry messages), Celeb Boutique issued a lame apology and then voiced excitement about the weekend:
I guess there's not much more you can say after you confuse a Kardashian-inspired dress with a national tragedy.

I'm not done with Adam and his cast of characters yet, I was just travelling last night and didn't get my writing in. Here's something on the poetical front while I prep another entry.
Colbie Callait's singing Mistletoe on the XM holiday station
While a little Mexican boy sits cross-legged
On his brown front yard
Looking down the street expectantly,
Searching traffic for a Greyhound sleigh
to bring Poppi home.
Two fat women,
One white with a bad dye job and a
Trailer-park linoleum kitchen hair style,
One black with a Santa hat and a wifebeater
Walk side by side along a busy street
Hauling their Wal-Mart groceries
And government cheese
To the efficiency apartment with the Toys-for-Tots gifts
And Methodist-donated decorations.
All the flowers in the cemetery
Are fresh
Except one.
What happened to you,
Mr. Robert Keziah 1953-2009?
Was he the last
Is he forgotten
Does nobody care
Is everybody busy
Why not him?
I like to walk among my ghosts
On holidays
To remember where I'm from.
Not just a river in Egypt
I never think of you anymore,
Until I see a picture of us some asshole put on Facebook,
Standing on the steps in front of my college dorm
Decked out in our finest freakwear to go out on the town,
Nineteen and smiling like we've got our whole lives in front of us,
Or something equally stupid.
I never even notice we're not together anymore,
Until I hear a song on my iPod that you just had to had to haaaad to have
So I got out of my very warm and comfortable bed,
And bought the MP3 for you off Amazon so you could play it
Seventeen times
At least
That night before you fell asleep with your head on my shoulder
And your hair tickling my nose.
I never turn my head when I think I hear your voice,
Unless maybe it's at that Starbucks on 7th St. where we almost got
Thrown out for being just a little too friendly
On the couches which just happened to be in front of the windows
And there might have been a complaint from a mother
Or three
Walking her kid to the comic book shop next door.
I never, EVER, don't go somewhere just in case you might be there,
Except for what used to be our grocery store,
Or VisArt,
Or that Cajun joint in NoDa with the bread pudding you used to love.
I guess you
Still love that bread pudding.
I never miss you at all hardly,
Except at night.
Nights are a little tough, I'll admit,
When there's not anybody snoring so gently beside me
Nobody hogging the blanket
And putting cold feet between my legs just as I'm about to fall asleep
Then giggling and kissing me breathless
Before looking up at me with those kitten eyes and asking
"But you love, me, right?"
So I'm fine. Really, I don't ever really think about you.
Much. To speak of.
Better Home
He set his banjo on a peach crate,
Picked up a mason jar full of clear liquid,
Tore himself off a slash and said,
"Sing for me, Vera."
Her voice wavered like a robin's song,
High and clear across the smoke-filled room
And everybody drew still as Grandma sang gospel.
"I was standing, by my window,
on one cold and cloudy day"
Grandaddy's fingers skipped across the banjo strings
Like Mama through a Carolina cotton field,
Bare feet kicking clods of red dirt while her patchwork dress
Snagged on branches, snatchin' notes out of the air like
Grandma's song floating through the kitchen while she made collards
For Sunday dinner.
"Will the circle be unbroken,
By and by, Lord, by and by."
The whiskey stole his fingers,
Hard living and twelve children stilled her voice.
There was no music in them by the time I came along,
But every once in a while, when I played freeze tag with my cousins
In the back yard and hid behind the laundry hanging out in the sun to dry,
A bird would carry back a hint of melody, and I could hear the song
In Grandma's eyes as she stood at the sink washing dishes
And watching the kids play in the yard.
"There's a better home a-waiting,
in the sky, lord, in the sky."

Josh Jenkins scored a career-high 24 points at Stanford.
Nov. 18, 2008
By Bob Vazquez, Assistant Athletic Director (Media Relations)
Stanford, Ca. - Statistics just don't tell the true outcome of an actual game.
In a non-league men's basketball game on Tuesday night at Maples Pavilion, Cal State Northridge made 35 baskets compared to Stanford's 28. The Matadors shot an incredible .625 (35-for-56) from the floor compared to .483 (28-for-58) for the Cardinal.
Final score - Stanford 103, Cal State Northridge 85.
So what was the difference in the game? Stanford hit 40-of-47 free throws compared to 9-for-12 for Cal State Northridge. The Matadors were whistled for 34 fouls compared to 16 for Stanford. Starters Willie Galick and Josh Jenkins fouled out of the game, and three other Matador players ended the game with four fouls apiece.
Despite the disparity in free throws, Cal State Northridge was still in the game, 70-70, with 10:10 to play. But then the Cardinal went on a 23-8 run in the past five minutes to post a 93-78 lead. The lead stretched to as many as 20 points, 100-80, with 2:19 to play.
"We just couldn't get over the hump, and we suffered a letdown after we tied the game (70-70)," said Jenkins. "I turned the ball over a couple times. Personally I need to take better care of the ball, especially at crucial portions of the game."
The Matadors biggest lead was four points, 16-12, with 14:00 in the first half. But Stanford went on a 31-9 run and held a 43-25 lead with 5:02 to in the first half.
A mild rally by the Matadors cut the Cardinal lead at halftime to ten points, 52-42.
But the first half stat sheet didn't look good in the first half. Tremaine Townsend played only ten minutes with three fouls while Jenkins also had three fouls.
Cal State Northridge took charge early in the second half. Stanford's ten-point halftime lead was cut to one point, 54-53, thanks in part to five points by Jenkins in a 2:47 span.
The game was tied at 67-67, and again at 70-70 with 10:10 to play.
But from that point on, Stanford took charge to raise its season record to 2-0.
Jenkins scored a career-high 24 points, one more than his previous best of 23 last year against Rider. Jenkins hit 10-of-12 shots along with six assists and two steals before fouling out with 4:59 to remaining.
Galick finished with 12 points (6-for-6 from the floor) in 14 minutes.
Townsend, because of his foul problems, was held to only 19 minutes. Townsend finished the evening with nine points and two rebounds.
"We told Tremaine that people were going to concentrate on him," said head coach Bobby Braswell. "Unfortunately, Tremaine got two fouls early in the game, and that took him out of his rhythm a bit."
Despite the loss, Braswell said the mood in the locker room was good, and that he saw some good things during the game.
"The mood is good, but of course, they are not happy," said Braswell. "But there is a lot of teaching that goes on in this game."
Cal State Northridge, 1-1, travels to Cal State Bakersfield on Friday at 7:00 p.m.

How to Use the Images
Questions for Photo 2
1. Try to pick out natural features and features that Olmsted and Sargent designed. What are the reasons for your choices?
2. Olmsted did not think that activities should be mixed together on the same landscape. Where in this photo can you find his idea of separation? Why do you think he regarded such separations as necessary?
3. How do you think people without carriages might have reached the arboretum?
4. Do you think a view such as this was equally pleasurable to Olmsted and Sargent? Why or why not?
* The photo on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Photo 2, but be aware that the file will take as much as 34 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

U.S. Patent Office Cancels Washington Redskins Trademarks
Federal Agency Rules Redskins Name Disparages Native Americans
A federal agency withdrew trademark protection for the Washington Redskins because it said the nickname is an insult to Native Americans, threatening millions of dollars the team and the National Football League make from merchandise and sponsorships.
A three-judge panel at the Patent & Trademark Office ruled 2-1 that the name wasn't worthy of federal trademark protection. The decision could escalate the campaign against a brand that the NFL and team owner Daniel M. Snyder have vigorously defended against increasingly...

You probably don't know their names, but you know their uniforms. Vince and Larry, two vital cogs in the world of safety testing have been immortalized in the Smithsonian Institution. The announcement was made this week by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Still don't know who Vince and Larry are? That's OK. Most people don't. But throughout the mid to late 1980s and all the way up to 1998, Vince and Larry appeared on your television screens, telling you how important seat belt use is to saving your life in the event of a crash.
So who are Vince and Larry? They were the dummies. The crash-test dummies we watched over and over again in television commercials. The Vince and Larry costumes were worn by actors posing as the duo, telling us through the use humor about the importance of wearing a seat belt.
"We learned a lot from Vince and Larry about the importance of buckling up," said LaHood. "They are a part of American culture and became household names while educating the public on seat belt use. Their message still holds true today."
The costumes, along with other auto safety items, have been donated to appear as part of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, DC.
Now, visitors to the Smithsonian will know the important role Vince and Larry have played in getting America to buckle up.
In trucking, FMCSA reported that overall safety belt use by commercial drivers climbed to 74% in 2009 from 65% in 2007, with seat belt use at 78% in states with primary safety belt laws versus 67% in states with weaker laws.
Clearly we have come a long way, but there is still more we can learn from Vince and Larry.

Real estate for Bev is alive, vibrant and fun. She loves houses, and that feeling of really helping someone find home. Not just a house, but home. One that delights them, fits them, works for them. That's part of the reason she so enjoys first-time buyers. "It's the excitement they exude. It's kind of scary for them, but to help them through that, to guide them, and have their offer accepted. "It's such a thrill, for them and for me."
Bev's been working in real estate since 2001, and says the longer she's in the business, the more intuitive she's becoming. "If any issues begin to bubble during a transaction, I'm all over them. Squash the problem before it gets out of hand!"
In 2005 Bev was president-elect of the Midcoast Council of Realtors, and was president in 2006. She was voted Realtor of the Year in 2008 by her local council.
Bev lives in Camden with her husband Rick and their 17 year old cat Flash. "We have built our own new home and are busy with the finishing touches." She also enjoys gardening, reading, sewing and is a new knitter!

openSUSE KDE Sneak Peek Lifts the Lid on Innovations
Over at openSUSE News, the new KDE features in openSUSE 11.2 come under the spotlight before its release in a few days. KWin stalwart and openSUSE hacker Luboš Luňák bares his soul. See how KDE is presented as the default desktop on openSUSE, and find out how the openSUSE team made Firefox fit in on a KDE desktop.
mainstream distributions...
> openSUSE has been the only mainstream distribution to allow the parallel installation of KDE 3 and KDE 4
So they don't count Gentoo as mainstream...
Otherwise a nice article!
I hope much of the KDE integration for Firefox goes upstream!

OpenOffice.org KDE 4 Integration
I've tested out the RC1 & 2 and there is some very nice OpenOffice.org & KDE4 integration as well. The look and feel is not of GTK or even that of KDE3 but of KDE4 with dialog boxes, theme, etc. that make it look like it is a part of KDE4. I think openSUSE 11.2 is going to be a real solid release and a good representation of the KDE4 desktop!
By Anthony Simonelli at Fri, 2009/11/06 - 5:03am
The firefox intergration
The firefox intergration looks neat. I'll have to check it out when openSUSE 11.2 is released. Firefox has a lot more features Konqueror, and gecko renders more pages correctly than khtml.

OpenSuse Themes
OpenSuse is IMO one of the best (if not the best) distros around. It's innovative, flexible, stable, easy to use and fits both the needs of advance users and Linux new comers but themes seem to be a problem for the openSuse guys. I am yet to see a "wow" theme in opensuse. The theme is not bad and better than those in the past openSuse releases but it's definitely not the "capture my eyes" theme. Maybe the KDE guys can show them how to do it in the next release ;)
By Bobby at Wed, 2009/11/04 - 7:58am
Ehm? Did you read the
Ehm? Did you read the article? The KDE guys did show us how to do the themes. The wallpaper, Plasma theme, splash, KDM were done in cooperation with upstream. Besides, I may be old-fashioned, but I thought that themes should not capture the eyes, at least as long as one wants to actually do something other than stare at the screen.

Ramesh Ponnuru is right that Biden doesn't seem to understand, or refuses to admit, what Roe v. Wade held, and doesn't even seem to be able to explain the doctrine of incorporation properly, so it is perfectly right and necessary to hit him on this. It is always useful to be reminded that the man who derided Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas does not understand these things. There is an argument, I suppose, that one would rather have a candidate who reaches the right conclusion, even if she can't articulate why, than someone who comes to the wrong conclusion and offers a lot of windy, inaccurate justification. However, I'm not sure that it is ultimately very helpful to Palin to make technical critiques of Biden's dissembling and confusion, just as it never made a lot of sense to defend Palin's answer on the Bush Doctrine by saying that Charlie Gibson didn't define it correctly, either. In other words, it is fair to hit Biden and Gibson on their technical errors, but in the very criticism of Biden or Gibson Palin's partisans are effectively admitting that they are judging her interlocutors' statements by a standard so much higher than the one they are using for her statements that they are acknowledging that she can't really compete on the same level.
It would make it more of a fair fight if Palin seemed to know in detail what Roe held and also how it was related to Griswold, which would be possible if she knew that there was a case called Griswold. Yes, it's good that she thinks the matter should be returned to the states (even though this federalist position is actually extremely unpopular with some pro-lifers), but if she had to make an argument about why Roe was wrongly decided and so should be overturned I'm sorry to say that I don't think she could persuade anyone. Biden makes a lot of unforced errors and false claims, as he did in his interview with Couric, but he is not going to have an opponent who can exploit that weakness. Another problem is that he can make a wrong answer sound more informed than it is, just as McCain was able to bluster about Pakistan despite being basically wrong in what he said, because for some reason people give him the benefit of the doubt on foreign policy. Likewise, as an old Judiciary Committee Chairman, Biden receives deference from reporters who don't care or don't know much about the details of these Court rulings.
It is also true that there is no need to endorse the conclusions of Roe if one acknowledges that there is a right to privacy. The problem is that she gave no indication that she understood that these might be seen to be in conflict or that there is any tension between them. Politically, I'm not sure how satisfactory this will be to legal conservatives and pro-lifers who must be hoping that Palin would be a driving force in shaping McCain judicial appointments, since it seems likely that she will have only as much influence in these matters as she does expertise. Perhaps it is also obvious, but it might be worth noting that if Palin did not have a personal reputation for valuing the sanctity of life her answers on Roe would be seen as red flags for pro-life activists who would regard her references to federalism and a right to privacy as clues that she is lacking in the kind of conviction they want. In Palin's case, the personal is not only the political, but her personal story seems to have redefined what an acceptable answer on this question is. National Republican candidates are often criticized when they opt for a federalist answer, which seems to many pro-lifers to be a dodge or an unacceptable compromise. The social conservative tribune in the primaries, Huckabee, made a lot of hay out of Fred Thompson's federalist position, and constantly came back to the plank in the party platform supporting a Human Life Amendment as something that he thought his rivals were abandoning. Whether or not one agrees with Huckabee, he spoke for a large constituency that is not necessarily interested in a federalist solution, but instead wants the practice banned nationally. As most people assume that Palin is familiar with life issues, it can hardly help her reputation that even on this subject she seems less than fully prepared.
Over the last few weeks, I have been watching Palin's defenders deploying their expertise to make sense of answers by Palin that were wrong, insufficient or embarrassing. When she manifestly knew nothing about the Bush Doctrine, her defenders chimed in that her answer was fine because the precise definition of such a doctrine–if there really is a doctrine or just a jumble of policies–is so intensely disputed. In short, the sheer nuance and complexity of an issue excused her utter cluelessness, or, to put it another way, she knew so little about the subject that she would have no way of knowing that Biden or Gibson erred. When she talked vaguely about Putin rearing his head, there was only a relative handful of people who could have deciphered that she was referring to long-range Russian bomber flights. Even on something like that, where presumably Palin did know something about what she was saying, she could not articulate it. No doubt her claim that she reads "all" newspapers will soon be cited as proof of her voracious appetite for knowledge and her curiosity about the world. What Palin's defenders are showing is that it takes well-informed, very engaged policy wonks to lend even minimal coherence to her statements. Unfortunately, she will not be able to call on them tonight.
P.S. Speaking of federalism, what would Palin be able to make of Biden's defense of the constitutionality of VAWA? Could she cite the relevant precedent of U.S. v. Lopez and explain why these federal laws represent an unacceptable encroachment of the federal government into areas that are properly the preserve of state and local governments? Could she explain why the commerce clause does not apply in the case of the gun legislaton thrown out in Lopez or in the case of VAWA? To ask these questions is to answer them, because I think we all know that she could not. I can't say that gives me much confidence. I was debating these issues in my high school government class; Palin probably does not know that these issues exist. That's a problem, and the more people try to pretend that it isn't the worse it is going to get for her and her defenders.
Update: Hilzoy comments on the Court ruling answer:
First, I cannot imagine a conservative watching this video without wincing. I just can't.
A lot of people have this same reaction and assume that these interviews must be embarrassing most of Palin's supporters, but what I think Hilzoy and many others are not taking into consideration is the degree to which Palin's fans simply don't care and are doing their best to answer her question to Halcro about policy details ("does any of this really matter?") with a resounding no.
Second Update: Here's another thought. The question Couric asked was about Court rulings that Palin disagreed with, and we all know that McCain thinks that Boumediene was one of the worst rulings in history and Palin thought it was cute to knock Obama for his opposition to Boumediene by misstating his position in her convention speech. So, here's a question for the VP debate moderator to ask: "Gov. Palin, you said in your convention speech that Sen. Obama wanted to read terrorists their rights. Why do you say that, and how do you interpret Boumediene v. Bush to have anything to do with reading suspects their rights?" Or maybe keep it simple: "Gov. Palin, does habeas corpus apply in cases concerning suspected terrorists, and do you think the Supreme Court was wrong to grant suspected terrorists due process?"
Third Update: Alex Massie has more.

Texas Coastal Fisheries Hatcheries Celebrate 30 Years
CORPUS CHRISTI— Putting blackened redfish on the menu back in the 1970s almost helped land the popular game fish on another list, for protected species, had it not been for an ambitious fisheries management initiative that included development of the Texas marine fisheries hatchery system.
Providing a jump start to resurrect a red drum, aka redfish, fishery depleted by commercial fishing pressure was the impetus for constructing the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's first marine fisheries hatchery, the CCA-CPL Marine Development Center, now celebrating its 30th anniversary.
In 1980, the Gulf Coast Conservation Association (now CCA Texas) announced plans to partner with Central Power and Light Company (CPL) and TPWD to build the world's largest red drum hatchery at the Barney Davis Power Plant in Corpus Christi.
The CCA provided funding for the construction of the original hatchery as well as the expansion phase in the late 1980s. Much of this money was used as state match towards a $10 million dollar U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sport Fish Restoration grant for construction of the hatchery expansion. The hatchery facility became operational in 1982.
Since 1983, 624 million hatchery-reared red drum fingerlings have been released in Texas waters. The CCA Marine Development Center can produce between 30 and 50 percent of the 24 million fingerlings released annually along the coast. It is also one of the premier marine aquaculture research facilities in the United States and is well known to scientists around the world.
"The recovery of red drum is the result of a combination of management strategies, including fisheries monitoring, protection by banning commercial sale and prohibiting netting, and through the hatchery stocking program," said Mike Ray, TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Deputy Director. "
In recent years, coastal fish hatcheries have increased emphasis on spotted seatrout and southern flounder population recovery, with 65 million spotted seatrout fingerlings and more than 20,000 southern flounder fingerlings stocked.
Significant advancements in southern flounder spawning, larvae incubation, fingerling rearing techniques have been achieved. More refinement is needed to reach the ultimate goal of developing a large-scale production program.
In addition, hatchery facilities remain well positioned to respond to disasters such as freezes, harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and pollution events that can result in significant losses to recreationally important fish populations.
The hatchery system relies on significant contributions from dedicated sportsmen's organizations like CCA Texas and the Saltwater-fisheries Enhancement Association (SEA).
The SEA has been an important partner to the hatchery program by providing funding for projects such as rearing pond improvements (i.e., adding electrical outlets to operate aeration paddle wheels) and laboratory equipment.
In recent years, CCA Texas has provided critical funding to help develop large-scale methods to culture southern flounder for stocking into coastal waters. During the past two years, the CCA Texas as spearheaded by the Mid-Coast Chapter donated $170,000 to construct two fishing piers at this hatchery for education and outreach activities.
More information about Texas coastal fisheries hatcheries is available on the TPWD web site tpwd.texas.gov.

Marquis pitches two-hitter for Padres

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Jason Marquis pitched so poorly early in the season that he was released.
Things have changed quite a bit since then.
The veteran right-hander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before settling for a two-hitter as the San Diego Padres beat the Pirates 5-0 for their 11th straight win in Pittsburgh.
Travis Snider broke up the bid with an infield single off the pitcher's mound leading off the seventh inning. Second baseman Alexi Amarista dived to his right but the ball glanced off his glove.
Released earlier this season by Minnesota, Marquis struck out four and walked one in his first shutout since April 29, 2011, for Washington against San Francisco, and fifth of his career. Pedro Alvarez was the only other Pittsburgh player to reach base. He walked in the second and singled in the eighth.
''He was just pounding the strike zone with his sinker,'' San Diego third baseman Chase Headley said. ''It was fun to watch.''
The Padres, who joined the National League in 1969 as an expansion team, are the only major league franchise without a no-hitter. Johan Santana threw the first one in New York Mets' history on June 1 against St. Louis.
''It goes to show you how hard pitching a no-hitter really is,'' San Diego manager Bud Black said.
Marquis (6-6), who threw his eighth career complete game, was released by the Twins after going 2-4 with an 8.47 ERA in seven starts. San Diego signed the 13-year veteran as a free agent on May 29.
Marquis has never thrown a no-hitter.
''I'd love to have one, that's the goal every time you take the mound,'' Marquis said. ''I gave it a pretty good shot but it didn't quite work out.''
Marquis missed the latter part of spring training and the beginning of the season while on the bereavement list after his 7-year-old daughter, Reese Marquis, was severely injured in a bicycle accident near their Long Island home. Reese has recovered and Marquis is now pitching with a clear head.
''I wasn't able to do the things I needed to do to really be able to be ready to pitch at the start of the season but I don't regret that because my family will always come first,'' Marquis said. ''The Twins were great with letting me spend all the time I needed with my family. I felt bad it didn't work out there but I'm also thankful for this opportunity. I enjoy playing with these guys.''
San Diego won its sixth straight game and sent Pittsburgh to its third consecutive loss. The Padres' winning streak in Pittsburgh began in 2009.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle managed Marquis in Colorado for part of the 2009 season when he won 15 games and earned his only All-Star Game selection.
''It can be challenging because you keep wanting to hit him and you can't hit anything hard because of his sinker,'' Hurdle said. ''We didn't square many balls up.''
Headley hit his third home run in the two games for the Padres and Will Venable also went deep. Venable and Marquis each had two of San Diego's 10 hits.
A.J. Burnett (14-4) failed in his bid to become the first Pirates pitcher to win 15 games since Todd Ritchie in 1999 and also had his four-game winning streak stopped.
Burnett allowed five runs - four earned - and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings with 10 strikeouts and two walks. It was Burnett's first loss in eight home decisions and the Pirates had been 10-0 in his starts at PNC Park.
''We were fortunate to score as many runs as he did because Burnett was really tough and his curveball was nasty,'' Headley said.
Snider left the game after the seventh inning with right hamstring tightness after beating out an infield hit. He said the injury was minor and he expects to play Sunday.
Headley's home run, his 18th, with two outs in the first inning opened the scoring. He homered twice Friday night in San Diego's 9-8 win over Pittsburgh.
Everth Cabrera led off the third with a triple and scored on Yonder Alonso's two-out single.
In the fourth, first baseman Garrett Jones booted a grounder by Venable for a two-base error and Cameron Maybin followed with an RBI single to push the Padres' lead to 3-0.
Venable hit his seventh homer to lead off the sixth and Headley drew a bases-loaded walk from Burnett with two outs to round out the scoring.
NOTES: San Diego placed RHP Huston Street, who has converted all 21 save opportunities this season, on the disabled list with a strained left calf muscle and recalled RHP Cody Burns from Triple-A Tucson. Street was injured while recording the final out in Friday night's game. ... Pittsburgh RHP Kevin Correia will get a second spot start Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers as manager Clint Hurdle wants to give his starting pitchers extra rest during a stretch where his team is playing 20 games in 20 days. Correia, who was moved to the bullpen from the starting rotation following the acquisition of LHP Wandy Rodriguez from Houston in a July 24 trade with Houston, also started Wednesday and beat Arizona. Correia has won his last seven decisions to improve to 9-6. ... The crowd of 39,485 was the third-largest in PNC Park's 12-season history with part of the lure being a postgame fireworks extravaganza and concert by Styx. ... San Diego RHP Ross Ohlendorf (4-2, 5.61) will face Pittsburgh LHP Erik Bedard (6-12, 4.53) on Sunday in the finale of the three-game series.

Watch The Lone Bellow's Dream Show + Hear the Band Live in Minneapolis Sunday, Dec. 15 at 8 PM
[onescreen item="5172077,5172078"]
Over the summer, the Lone Bellow brought a little Southern country rock to Minneapolis (via their home base in Brooklyn). Miss the epic show? We think the video above captures the spirit pretty well.
You can also listen to a rebroadcast of the show at 8 PM on Sunday, Dec. 15, right here.
We LOVE the Lone Bellow – their close harmonies and mandolin-accompanied songs remind us of bands we love like Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers, but we've never see Marcus Mumford work himself into the kind of emotional frenzy Zach Williams does in this performance.
Williams told us: "I feel like people want to create something honest; something that matters. Seeing that our listeners also want to carry that weight has just been a moving thing." We dare you to watch the video above and not feel moved.

Portsmouth deal: Pompey Supporters' Trust now own Fratton Park
Pompey Supporters' Trust has agreed a deal with Balram Chainrai over the purchase of Fratton Park.
Last Updated: 11/04/13 6:46am
The deal was completed following a hearing at the High Court in London on Wednesday afternoon and means the PST have been given the go-ahead to take control of troubled League One club.
Portsmouth chairman Ian McInnes praised Chainrai and Trevor Birch of administrator PKF International for their hard work in helping the deal go through.
McInnes said: "I've always actually believed we would do it. I felt we were the right bid for the football club. And today is for the fans.
"We came to what we call a compromise. And I'd like to say, and go on record and say, that we were actually helped very much by quite a bit of give from the other side
"It was always going to be a difficult agreement this because basically it was a group of people trying to save a football club and a group of people who felt they were entitled to get their money back.
"And it's been a long drawn out process. I think we're all glad that it's over and without the help of the opposition, if you want to call them that, and the administrators and Trevor Birch in particular this wouldn't have been a historic day at all."
The development ends 14 months of stagnation after Portsmouth entered administration for the second time in three years in February 2012.
Next chapter
A High Court judge had been due to analyse issues relating to the sale of the ground at a hearing in London.
But lawyers told judge Mr Justice Peter Smith that an agreement had been reached between BDO - the firm acting as administrators - and the club's former owner.
The judge said he was pleased that an agreement had been reached and that Portsmouth would be preserved.
Fans who had travelled to the High Court from the south coast applauded and cheered when the hearing ended.
PST chairman Ashley Brown welcomed the agreement, saying in a statement: "This is a historic day for Portsmouth Football Club and for Pompey fans everywhere.
"At last, the tough work done over the last year is over and we can start to rebuild our club. Pompey fans are now days away from owning and running our club and becoming the biggest community owned football club in the country.
"We have a lot of people to thank, and much more to say, but will do that once the details of today's settlement are finalised.
"For now, we would like to offer heartfelt thanks to Pompey fans all over the world who have pledged money and have saved our club from liquidation.
"Now the next chapter of hard work begins to transform our club into something the community of Portsmouth can be proud of, both on and off the field."
