Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley + More Added to ACM Awards Lineup
We're just four days out from the April 1 live telecast of the 47th Annual ACM Awards, and the Academy is still unrolling names of country stars who will be performing and presenting this year. Today, the list continued to grow as it was announced that Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley will the the two newest additions to the continually growing celebrity cast, which already includes big names like Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and tons more.
In addition to announcing the two newest performers added to the lineup, the Academy also revealed two more huge stars who are slated to present prestigious awards on Sunday night: Taylor Swift and Lionel Richie. Richie will also be hosting the April 2 concert which follows the main event, which we will turned into a show titled 'ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends in Concert.' That will air on CBS on April 13. This weekend, Swift and Richie will be joined by presenters Nancy O'Dell, Hunter Hayes and Beth Behrs.
Paisley netted the Male Vocalist of the Year Award in 2011, and this year he's up for four awards, one of which is his fifth consecutive nod for Entertainer of the Year and his eighth nod for Male Vocalist of the Year — an award he's landed five times since 2006. His remaining two nominations in 2012 are for Vocal Event of the Year for 'Old Alabama' featuring Alabama, as well as another in the same category for his power duet 'Remind Me' with Underwood.
Of course, Bentley is no stranger to the annual awards either, garnering a double nomination both as an artist and a composer for Song of the Year for his single 'Home,' the title track of his Feb. 7. In the past, Bentley has taken home the ACM Award for New Artist of the Year, and he's scored nominations for Album of the Year for 'Up On the Ridge' and Male Vocalist of the Year.
Catch Paisley, Bentley and the rest of the star-studded country gang set to appear on the ACMs Sunday, April 1 on CBS beginning at 8PM ET.

That would be calling me a racist then saying completely irrelevant like 'was it his fault Rooney got injured?' and deliberately avoiding the fact that England were 1-0 up against a team that couldn't at that time string 3 passes together and had a dodgy defense at the best of times. Any manager with a clue what they were doing would have sorted England out at half time at the latest and closed the game out comfortably - but because the vegetable is so inept the game ended up being a contest, regardless of the result at that point the vegetable had failed in his job.

Caramel Apples with sprinkles.
No wonder he's got such a happy smile.
Last year we did the "Fall Harvest" theme and danced around Halloween. This year, let's write about those lovely festive things we do in Fall that makes us feel so cozy. Caramel apples, State Fairs, leaf art, drives in the country, travel for Thanksgiving, etc. What makes Fall special to you? Did your parents make a tradition that you chose to pass down? Or not? I know a family that has one of those Christmas light shows on their house. Every year BEFORE Thanksgiving (due to snow) their Fall is tied up in hanging hundreds of lights so that the community in December can enjoy. Many memories have been created from their endeavours. This will be their sixth year.
Perhaps for you, it's simply the cooler wind on your face as you wrap up in a blanket on the porch with a good book and a cup of cocoa. I have to admit, that's one of my favorite private celebrations during Fall too.
What makes your Fall festive?

The Different (And Changing) Patent Strategies Of The Big Four Software Firms
from the patent-everything dept
In many of the patent discussions we have around here, people seem to classify the battle as being between "big companies" and "small inventors" when that's rarely the case. However, it's even worth noting that in cases that do involve "big companies" the patent strategies may be extremely different. In an article comparing the patent strategies of IBM, Microsoft, SAP and Oracle you can see just how different they are. IBM, for example, has about 40,000 patents, but has recently been a lot more open with them, releasing a lot of patents for open source use -- recognizing that encouraging the platform growth can help them make more money. In fact, IBM has clearly stated that after years of building up a huge patent portfolio, they've realized that patents have little to do with innovation. Microsoft, whose recent patent obsession was covered in the NY Times recently, used to be against software patents, but is now wants as many patents as it can possibly get. The article notes a few reasons for the change -- including the recent anti-trust lawsuit that forced Microsoft to open up a bit. The thinking is that Microsoft feels more comfortable opening up some of its code if it's protected by patents. Of course, ending up on the losing end of some expensive patent battles probably contributed to the new attitude as well. Oracle has also been mostly against software patents, warning that they would stifle innovation -- but, thanks to all these companies it's been buying (including all their patents), the company may have had a change of heart. SAP represents a different extreme. The company apparently only has about 40 patents and clearly notes that they're in the business of selling products, not intellectual property. How refreshing to hear a software company say such things these days.

Given all the buzz that we may be seeing pirate sets in 2009 I got to thinking on a couple questions.
1. Were things like 7029/7048 at least in part to test the viability of lego ships in the pirate ish style? I know this has come up before, but i think in recent light-the new figs and the TLG interview-it bares renewed consideration. I find it very interesting that we have one of the proclaimed undying themes possibly being used ot pave the way for another's return.
2. Many of us had hoped for an elf ship, or at least talked about this. We had also talked about how nice it would be to have a crownie ship. If pirate ships were to be made would this preclude more large castle ships? i.e. would lego not want one set of big 'wooden' sailing ships competing with another?

Good Quality Sound across entire spectrum, but high price.
2012 Nissan Frontier SV
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
- Did I notice an improvement in overall sound quality? No. However, my stock system was a Rockford Fosgate and it didn't sound poor beforehand. - Did I notice a difference in volume? Yes, as this system automatically filters out sounds below 100dB and saves these lower notes for the sub. - Did I notice a difference in overall volume WITH the sub speakers? Yes, the system as a whole is about 25% louder than before without distortion. - Conclusion: All my other car audio systems are entirely pre-amped and typically cost 4 times the amount of this system. With that said, the ONLY reason to go this avenue is if you MUST save the stock stereo. Otherwise, you are much better off to purchase a new head unit, amps, and aftermarket subs and speakers. The sound will be clearer and the bass much more responsive. In addition, the separate bass speakers are barely enough to fill a small truck cab. If you installed the sub in a car trunk, you couldn't probably hear it whatsoever.
Pros: Clarity, Ease of Installation, Volume
Cons: Price, Bass Volume

In the quest for the most advanced concept in floor protection, the talented designers and engineers at WeatherTech have worked tirelessly to develop the most advanced floor protection available today!
The WeatherTech FloorLiner accurately and completely lines the interior carpet giving "absolute interior protection"! The WeatherTech FloorLiner lines the interior carpet up the front, back and even up the sides of the vehicle's footwell. Digital laser measurements of interior surfaces offer a consistently perfect fit!
A patent pending High-Density Tri-Extruded (HDTE) material allows for a rigid core for strength while offering surface friction to the carpet, as well as tactile feel to the surface! Advanced surfacing creates channels that carry fluids and debris to a lower reservoir with further channeling to help minimize fluid movement while driving! Once fluids become trapped in the reservoir, away from shoes and clothing, they are easily removed from the WeatherTech FloorLiner over the door sill. No muss-no fuss!
WeatherTech, where Technology and All Weather Protection meet!
Rear FloorLiner
Rear FloorLiner incorporates many of the same design features as the front FloorLiner. Rear FloorLiner (where offered) is manufactured from a proprietary custom blended TPO (thermopolyolefin) that is not only wear resistant, but also remains flexible under extreme temperatures. Rear FloorLiner is either one piece or two piece depending on the vehicle application.
Helps Protect Resale Value
Rear FloorLiner protects resale value too! Simply put, the cost of owning a vehicle is the difference between what you pay for it and what you sell it for. There are many factors that influence resale value; miles, exterior condition, maintenance history and of course interior condition. FloorLiner is proudly designed, engineered and manufactured with American made tooling in the USA.
FloorLiner is designed for vehicles with factory carpet installed when manufactured. They will not fit vehicles with vinyl floors unless otherwise specified. Please take your old floor mats out before installing your new WeatherTech FloorLiner.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In its first meeting with the University of Southern Maine, the Huskies emerged with a 15-13 win over MIT in a women's lacrosse game held in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Monday. Casey Flynn compiled a team-high seven points on five goals and two assists as the Engineers' ledger dipped to 2-1 on the year.
Flynn put the Cardinal and Gray on the board with a free-position shot, but back-to-back goals from Southern Maine resulted in its first lead. MIT countered with a three-goal spurt to go in front, 4-2. The Huskies evened the contest with a pair of goals 50 seconds apart. Erica Little converted a feed from Flynn at the 17:04 mark before Flynn's solo effort increased the Engineers' cushion to 6-4 with 9:32 left in the half. Southern Maine quickly knotted the contest, but a free-position goal by Kelly Duncan gave MIT a 7-6 edge at the break.
The Huskies tied the score at seven after 29 seconds elapsed in the second stanza. The Engineers responded with three straight goals to build their largest advantage of the day (10-7) with 27:23 on the clock. Flynn led off the flurry, followed by a free-position marker from Stephanie Leger, and an unassisted tally courtesy of Katie Kauffman. During the next 19 minutes, Southern Maine registered five unanswered goals to capture the lead.
Laura Wacker brought MIT within one (12-11) with 5:06 left to play, but the Huskies found the back of the net a minute later. A free-position strike from Flynn once again cut the deficit in half with 2:58 on the clock. The Huskies countered with back-to-back goals, the last with 54 seconds remaining, to gain some breathing room. The Engineers continued attack as shot by Flynn was stopped by Southern Maine's goalie with 29 seconds to go. MIT maintained the pressure with Little's free-position goal capping the scoring with four ticks left.
Wacker, Little, and Kauffman each finished with two goals as Little added two draw controls. Duncan tallied three groundballs, two draw controls, two caused turnovers, and a goal while Molly McShane posted four groundballs, two draw controls, and two caused turnovers. Meghan Wright added four groundballs as Allison Hamilos collected 11 saves.

SKF ConRo roll line units
A costly mix of conditions
Poor lubrication between rolling elements and raceways can result in metal-to-metal contact and accelerated wear. Cooling water entering bearing cavities can degrade the lubricant and corrode the bearing, and the accumulation of grease mixing with water and scale can lead to slab surface imperfections and blocked roll lines.
A complete, fully sealed systemSKF ConRo is a robust, self-contained, modular roll line that includes bearings, seals, housings, grease, roll bodies and if required, water connections. Featuring a patented sealing system that protects bearings from ingress of water and contaminants, SKF ConRo can help mills:
- Cut roll line operating costs by up to 50%
- Increase roll service life by up to 25%
- Boost reliability of the casting line
- Reduce unplanned downtime
- Eliminate lubrication system maintenance
- Drastically reduce grease consumption
- Reduce waste treatment and disposal costs

Prime Minister Julia Gillard says the opposition will continue to target her over her legal work for the Australian Workers' Union, with a poll showing more than 30 per cent of respondents believe she lied about her role in the two decades-old controversy.
After the final week of parliament was dominated by coalition attacks on Ms Gillard over her work as a lawyer with Slater & Gordon in the 1990s, the Galaxy Poll of 1015 respondents, published in News Ltd newspapers, showed the row threatened to curb the ALP's recent recovery in the polls.
Apart from the 31 per cent who thought the prime minister lied in her explanations of the matter, another 31 per cent said they thought she'd been economical with the truth.
Fifty-six per cent said the AWU row would not sway their vote either way.
As both Ms Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott appeared back-to-back on Network Ten's Sunday morning TV agenda programs, Ms Gillard predicted the opposition would continue its attacks on her past involvement with the AWU.
"The opposition will continue carrying on about this matter, not because they've got any proof, but because they don't have any positive policies for the future," Ms Gillard told Meet the Press.
"Mr Abbott's made it perfectly clear that he's going to stay wedded to this sleaze and smear, not only now, but even if he was elected prime minister."
Mr Abbott told the Andrew Bolt program all he really wanted to do was talk about coalition plans for Australia's future.
"As far as I am concerned, what last week was all about was the coalition's positive plans for the future," he said.
Asked about the AWU issue, he said it was obvious Ms Gillard had misled the West Australian Corporate Affairs Commission, which was an "unlawful" act.
He was referring to Ms Gillard's role in advising the commission on the establishment of the Australian Workers' Union Workplace Reform Association in 1990s, and legal advice she gave to former AWU union officials Bruce Wilson and Ralph Blewitt.
Mr Abbott stopped short of endorsing shadow attorney-general George Brandis's claim that "there's a criminal in The Lodge", saying he would leave that judgment to lawyers, including Senator Brandis and deputy opposition leader Julie Bishop.
"The point I make is the prime minister obviously misled the West Australian Corporate Affairs Commission," he said.
"The next point is that it is unlawful to do that."
In talking about what he said were his "positive" plans for the nation, Mr Abbott pointed to the launch of his new book, A Strong Australia, which features nine of his "headland" speeches given over the past year.
"As well as holding the government to account, increasingly as this year has gone on, we have been about developing our positive plans and that's what this book is all about, our positive plans for the future," he said.
Ms Gillard announced a plan she would take to Friday's Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting in Canberra to address what she said were the real drivers of high power prices, including overinvestment - or "gold plating" - of electricity networks.

Competition to help apartment seekers find places to live is heating up online, and that's good news for Bay Area consumers who face one of the most competitive housing markets in the nation.
While dominated by giants like Zillow, Trulia and ApartmentGuide, the space has been joined by newcomers, including several based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
One thing that hasn't changed is the popularity of another San Francisco-based search site — the venerable Craigslist, which is a powerhouse in many markets despite its rudimentary interface, limited geographic search abilities and complaints about scams.
Derrick Polk, an Oakland art teacher, has been scouring the city for a one-bedroom apartment or loft using his Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone and a variety of apps and websites.
"I'm using ApartmentList, Craigslist — pretty much all the sites," he said. "I like them, they're a help, and they're better than going to the property management websites, where there are only a few listings."
Polk has found that the sheer number of listings isn't necessarily a sign of excellence. The best sites present the freshest, most reliable information, he said.
"Craigslist can be helpful, but then it's kind of hard," he said. "You'll see open houses, and you show up and there's not an open house."
The new services are adding features that make it easier to find the apartment of your dreams, and a few help you apply and lease it online.
Here's a look at some of the newer mobile apps and websites that offer original resources for apartment-hunting.
Launched in 2011 at a TechCrunch conference by two veterans of the investment banking industry, this site claims to be the fastest growing of its kind in the U.S., with more than 3 million monthly renters using it across the U.S.
Searches can be narrowed for landlords who accept pets, have onsite or in-unit laundries, dishwashers, parking, pools, gyms and so on. A search for one-bedroom apartments in Berkeley turned up 99 units in 53 buildings, but it cast a wide net, listing all apartments within five miles, including some in Richmond, Alameda, El Cerrito and Emeryville.
Based in San Francisco, with 80 employees and $21 million in venture funding, ApartmentList gets listings from large property management companies, brokers and rental listings aggregators across the U.S., as well as its own listings which it curates by hand.
Co-founder and CEO John Kobs said he wants to build "an end-to-end marketplace" where users will be able to submit an application, sign a lease and pay their rent through ApartmentList.
Through a collaboration with credit rating agency Experian, this San Francisco-based startup makes it possible to submit an application for an apartment on the spot by using your smartphone to email your resume, credit report and other required information to the manager or landlord.
Lovely has been around since 2011, launching its iOS app in 2012 and an Android app in December. It was acquired for $13 million in April by RentPath, a rental search holding company owned by a private equity fund.
On a desktop, Lovely has nice display, producing maps with large dots denoting listings in neighborhoods with numbers indicating the quantity of listings. Each dot opens a list of apartments with photos and rental information. The information includes how long the apartment had been posted, with orange dots indicating listings that were "fresh yesterday." Many dots were blue, indicating no fresh listings and included some that were two weeks old, an eon in today's competitive market. Lovely will send you daily alerts on new listings.
To receive alerts, users create an account with their name, address, photo, LinkedIn profile, income, credit score, and their employer — the same sorts of things landlords want to see when choosing tenants. "Our job is not to pick winners and losers, but to give renters and landlords tool they need," said CEO Blake Pierson.
The Pleasanton-based brainchild of two founders steeped in big data, RentalRoost dives deep into U.S. Census tract information and hundreds of other databases, using a proprietary algorithm that scores locations for lifestyle factors. The site produces profiles of neighborhoods so you can see if you'd like to live there.
In a search for Oakland apartment listings, RentalRoost delivered a map with bubbles and numbers representing how many apartments were found in a particular neighborhood. Click on the bubble for more information. A search in a section of East San Jose produced scores for walkability, schools, transit, kid-friendliness and fine dining. New listings are emailed to you.
By month's end, it hopes to have almost 1 million rentals to search, with close to 1.5 million nationwide for sale listings in the near future.
"In our next phase, for any address in the U.S. we'll be able to tell you information about the house, the schools, the neighborhood and the lifestyle of the neighborhood," co-founder Vikram Raghavan said.
While these new services are innovative and useful, don't forget the industry leaders like Zillow, Trulia, Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.
Zillow and Trulia show the newest listings first, with notes that say when the listing was posted. They both rely on their own massive collection of listings, but also use Rent.com and ApartmentGuide as sources.
ApartmentGuide is adding a neat feature: Floor plans of properties. Also, after you submit a query, ApartmentGuide suggests other apartments to check out. In a search for Berkeley apartments, the Avalon Berkeley popped up as a suggestion. I sent a message using the app and got a call back in about an hour.

My listeners are FUCKING CRAZY and I FUCKING LOVE IT. I hope that I can continue to fulfill their need for BETTER radio in L.A., because we all know KROQ sucks my big hairy monkey ass.
DJ Monkey Man, who has been running Pirate Cat Radio (FM 87.9) out of his bedroom for the past year, is packing it all in and up. With just a few hours left before he pulls the plug, Monkey Man is already loading boxes into a U-Haul truck parked in front of Marlon Manor, an enormous beige stucco apartment complex on a quiet residential side street in Hollywood. For someone who has been screwing the airwaves since 1997 setting up radio stations in backyard sheds, parking garages, hotel rooms and cars and who is evidently in love with the word fuck (Fuck the FCC, fuck them!), Monkey Man is somewhat of a surprise: Hes a slight, articulate, suburban-looking kid barely over the legal drinking age, wearing an oversized Johnny Rotten T-shirt and black-rimmed eyeglasses held together with duct tape. And his real name, he reveals, is Daniel Roberts.
Since last March, Roberts has been broadcasting around the clock to indie radio fans within a 20-mile radius of his 30-watt transmitter from Silver Lake to as far west as the 405 everything from punk rock to classical music to all 12 episodes of the BBC radio drama The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Now, hes moving to Santa Cruz to live with his girlfriend. And so far only one of his friends, fans and fellow DJs has shown up to help him move. Its depressing, he says.
Inside, Adam Ants King of the Wild Frontier is blasting onto the airwaves, and the house phone, which is also the number announced on-air, rings every five minutes. Ikea-like furniture has been pushed into the center of the living room, boxes and beat-up suitcases are everywhere. It feels like a well-off college seniors last day on campus: candles burned down to their bases, dried flowers in empty wine bottles, framed movie posters, a lava lamp, a guitar leaning against one wall, volleyball and scuba equipment against another. Wally, a beefy club promoter who is also a DJ at the station, wraps dishes in newspaper while Roberts buzzes energetically between rooms, tossing random items board games, old Converse All-Stars into open crates, answering questions and holding a cordless phone to one ear and his cell phone to the other.
Hey, Andre. Yeah, the transmitter . . . Oh, hi, Mom, how are you? (rolls eyes) . . . Andre, you still there? Hang on a sec . . . Im okay, Mom, just packing everything up . . . Andre? Like 300 bucks for that . . .
All the while he takes long drags off a cigarette and crouches down periodically to mark boxes PICTURES or DISHES with a thick black marker.
At one point, Roberts tells me, he had $5,000 worth of equipment four computers, two CD players, a tape deck, two record players, and a CD jukebox in the bedroom. But now, only the transmitter, mixing board and mic remain, alongside a lone PC that basically runs 87.9 by itself, with pre-recorded station identification breaks. Im hardly ever around, he says. I work full time.
Originally from the Bay Area, Roberts came south for a Web-design job at Disney (literally a Mickey Mouse company, he says, so disorganized!) and got Pirate Cat Radio going immediately. When I first moved to L.A., I expected to see the best in television and hear the best in radio. But its all pointless crap. We dont get to see anything real. No ones willing to take a risk. I do my show to add more diversity so its not just Britney Spears and Limp Bizkit. It caught on fast, capturing as many as 600 to 1,000 listeners per hour. (Arbitron, he says, calculates that each caller equals approximately 100 listeners.) I was surprised by how many people started listening. People â call in all the time and say, L.A. radio sucks, theres nothing like this out there, its the only thing worth listening to . . . , and I totally agree.
Tell her about the girl, Wally chimes in from the kitchen. The one who wanted to hear the Smiths all the time.
Oh, a week ago, some girl called in and said she was gonna commit suicide since I was going off the air.
The Stubborn All-Stars are playing when another friend arrives to help move the heavier furniture. Jason, ruddy-complexioned with bright orange hair, discovered Pirate Cat Radio while valet parking at the Standard. Id mess with the radio, and I heard him. It was the best! he says. Id program it into everyones dial 87.9 . . . 87.9 . . . 87.9 especially the rental cars.
In April, the FCC caught up with Roberts and served him with a notice of unlicensed operations. He wasnt completely surprised: They were the same two people from up north Id met before, he says. They were like, You again?! But Pirate Cat Radio stayed on the air. I moved my transmitter to this guys mansion up in the Hollywood Hills he was a listener, hed called in. And I didnt sign the papers. My lawyers gave them the runaround. And then this war happened. Roberts claims that technically, his pirate radio station has been legal since September 11 due to a clause in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations: title 47, section 73.3542. If the President says were at war, if youre in the process of applying for a license, its legal to broadcast. The FCC would like to say Im illegal, but if you talk to any lawyer, Im legal.
Whether that is in fact true or not the FCC disputes his interpretation Roberts estimates that he will have Pirate Cat Radio up and running again in Santa Cruz within two months. And, he says, L.A.s Troma Entertainment wants to pick up his feed through the Internet and rebroadcast it in L.A. But today, February 15, the station will nonchalantly slip off the air sometime between 4 and 6 p.m. Roberts says he has no specific plans for a grand finale. Ill probably play Goodbye, Goodbye by Oingo Boingo and Well Meet Again, the last song on the Dr. Strangelove soundtrack. Im sure Ill say something live, too, but itll be completely random just like everything else.
The phones start ringing again, all of them at once, but for the moment Roberts has had enough; instead, he leads me up onto the roof, to see the 20-foot antenna (held up by the handle of a swimming pool net) and a panoramic view of Hollywood. On a clear day, he tells me, you can see as far south as Long Beach. I wonder if hes really going to simply shut the station down and drive off. Yup, he says, kicking aside a tangle of cable wires. Im gonna flip the power supply, the computer goes off, and then into my car . . .
Before he leaves, however, hes going to first have to deal with or more likely ignore one last legal problem. Under the wiper on his U-Haul truck is a parking ticket.

APPRECIATION: Songs of the Monkey Man Crapulence! That was Monkey Mans favorite interjection if he cued the wrong record or otherwise messed up on the air. But it was also his succinct way of describing the kind of predictably bland corporate music you could tune into just about everywhere except Pirate Cat Radio. The Monkey Man, who Ive been listening to almost constantly until he went off the air last week, preferred to keep things simple and instinctive, spinning only what he and his fleeting moods liked. That included everything from the Velvet Underground, Dead Kennedys and the Specials to Naked Aggression, Nerf Herder and Sparks.
Crapulence! That was Monkey Mans favorite interjection if he cued the wrong record or otherwise messed up on the air. But it was also his succinct way of describing the kind of predictably bland corporate music you could tune into just about everywhere except Pirate Cat Radio. The Monkey Man, who Ive been listening to almost constantly until he went off the air last week, preferred to keep things simple and instinctive, spinning only what he and his fleeting moods liked. That included everything from the Velvet Underground, Dead Kennedys and the Specials to Naked Aggression, Nerf Herder and Sparks.
Since Pirate Cats very existence was a deliberate fuck-you to the FCC a perfect test of whether or not there really is free expression, and genuine access to the airwaves, in this country the Monkey Man insisted on heavy-rotating the Diesel Queens probably offensive Man Boy Love, Killer Pussys Teenage Enema Nurse and anti-redneck rants from comedian Bill Hicks, stuff you dont often hear even on college radio. And since no one else dared, the Monkey Man took great delight in gratuitously and cathartically swearing at every opportunity, just like some folks do in real life.
For all his infantile and admittedly silly rebellion, the Monkey Man came across as a sincere fan of radical, populist rock & roll, in all of its ongoing mutations. He was certainly on a more adventurous and open-minded musical quest than condescending classic-rock DJs stuck in a narrow, all-white 70s-rock time warp. And the Monkey Man wasnt narcoleptically dull like so many monotone-mumbling, aw-shucks-humble anti-pro college-radio slackers. With his canned sound effects and pseudo-grave between-song admonishments (If you like a lot of commercials, then youve tuned to the wrong radio station!), the Monkey Man was as charismatic and exuberantly over-the-top as the old KHJ DJs, only hornier and more impatient.
The Monkey Man had his quirks and strict rules. Hed crank out a lot of early Black Flag, but absolutely nothing from the period after the narcissistic Henry Rollins joined the band. He spun Vice Squad and X-Ray Spex, not once in a while like other punk DJs, but constantly, as if they were Britney Spears or the Rolling Stones restoring some balance in the musical universe. He lavished airplay on two versions of I Wanna Destroy You both the Soft Boys original, with its delirious harmonies and anti-war lyrics, one of the best pop songs of the past 20 years (where were you, KRTH?), and the Circle Jerks viciously indignant punk take.
Billy Idols Eyes Without a Face was the final tune the Monkey Man cast out onto the airwaves before shutting down Pirate Cat Radio last week. There was no special significance to the song selection, Monkey Man says. It just worked out that way, and besides hes always liked Billy Idol, even the uncool solo-period ballads.

WATERS WORLD: The Opposite of Cool
The crowd looks suspiciously normal as ticket holders form a line outside El Rey Theater to Meet and Greet filmmaker John Waters. Only two drag queens are spotted. Two fake leopard coats. Maybe three green or purple dye jobs. Otherwise, this group seems quite tame. Theres no pushing, no shoving, not a single whiff of cannabis in the air and, most startling for these parts of Los Angeles, no designer labels or even fine leather. The absence of black attire is blinding.
Isnt Waters the king of camp? The inventor of kitsch? The sickest Catholic alive? Everyone appears so placid. Am I in Kansas or something? And who likes John Waters still? Isnt he just a tired old queen living in Baltimore? Geez, half his original cast members are already dead. But tired he is not. Maybe getting older, but tonight Waters is about to perform before several hundred young fans they may be fashion conservatives, but theyre mostly in their 20s.
After the initial shock of finding few outrageous souls in the crowd, I begin to study these seemingly bland characters. They all look like squares. Kinda nerdy and creepy. Three pimply teenage girls wander around in awe. A bloated Doris Day/Beverly Hills/retired nurse/art collector sips white wine. A fleshy couple in the middle of the floor French kiss like its a job. Theres a guy who looks like a Jerry Springer mannequin. Patricia Hearststyle fashion is everywhere. Bland is not so boring after all.
And thats precisely the point. Being into John Waters is not about being hip or cool. Its having the instinct to be different. And in this part of Los Angeles, that means the opposite of cool. Waters has always embraced the outsider, the fattest kid on the block, the most unpopular student in class. And maybe thats what brought together L.A.s finest collection of misfits at El Rey. Many are devoted to the point of piousness toward Waters, with few expectations for tonights performance. All simply waiting for that message from John Waters. Looking for that affirmation that theyre not alone.
Then suddenly hes on. Walking onto the stage like a professor in an auditorium, he lectures to his hungry, impressionable audience that there arent enough negative influences for young people today. Is he onstage to fill that gap? Fifteen minutes into his act, its clear that his idea of vaudeville performance is simply standup comedy. For an instant there is a pang of disappointment, a desire to see that 300-pound transvestite come out onstage puking and screeching. But Waters keeps his fans rapt, regaling them with one sick tale after another. Telling stories about Divine, Edie the Egg Lady, the singing asshole in Pink Flamingos. Listing his favorite porno film titles, Schindlers Fist being number one. Giving tips on the best places for cruising try the voting booth because voting is so boring anyway. Waters warped sensibility glows like a blue ribbon on a jar of peaches in the state fair.
Theres always been that side to Waters. That dichotomy of sickness and sweetness. John Waters means no harm. Hes just out there having fun. Giving to his fans what they want. He even closes with a Q&A session. When someone asks whom hed pick to play him in a biopic, he doesnt hesitate. That could only be Don Knotts or Steve Buscemi. But hes really a carny at heart. Hes already looked into it. A Tilt-A-Whirl costs only $100,000, and with the steady income from the tickets, hed probably make out just fine.

Stuttgart - Pragfriedhof
When it opens in 1873, the Prague cemetery was still far from the city. Today it lies between the North Station and the Heilbronn-Road. With its approximately 20 acres this cemetery is a very important green area in Stuttgart north. The cemetery is characterized by one main alle and some cross-alles. In their view point is the wonderful 1905-07 Art Nouveau celebration hall, the only crematorium in the city, located. Tombs of famous personalities are: Karl Freiherr von Weizsäcker (1853-1926), Wilhelm Kohlhammer (1839-1893), Konrad Wittwer (1842-1914), Claire Walldoff (1884-1957), Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin (1838-1917), Karl Gerok (1815-1890), Eduard Moerike (1804-1875), Ludwig von Hofer (1801-1887) and Anna Sutter (1871-1910).Read More

WALTHAM Mass. – At the annual Eric Sollee Invitational hosted by Brandeis University, the MIT women's fencing team compiled a 2-3 record on Saturday. The Engineers topped Hunter College (23-4) and Haverford College (17-10), and fell to University of Pennsylvania (18-9), Johns Hopkins University (15-12), and NYU (14-13).
The sabre unit comprised of senior Molly Kozminsky (Port Matilda, Pa.) and juniors Elisabeth Morant (Chicago, Ill.) and Robin Shin (Brookline, Mass.) generated a 28-17 team total and won all five rounds. The trio dismissed Hunter by a 7-2 margin, defeated Haverford by a 6-3 score, and edged out Penn, Johns Hopkins, and NYU, 5-4. Shin led the way with a 14-1 ledger, followed by Kozminsky at 12-3, and Morant at 2-13.
The epee team also had an impressive outing, compiling a record of 27-18. MIT overpowered Hunter (8-1) and topped Haverford (6-3) and NYU (5-4) while recording tough 5-4 losses to Penn and Johns Hopkins. Freshman Sarah Alkilany (Brooklyn, N.Y.) set the tone with a tally of 12-4 while senior Kirsten Hessler (Roswell, Ga.) came in at 9-6. Senior Breanna Peterman (Selden, N.Y.) went 5-5 on the day as classmate Rachel Williams (Merritt Island, Fla.) finished at 1-4.
The foil squad registered wins over Hunter (8-1) and Haverford (5-4) en route to a 19-26 ledger. Senior Julia Hopkins (New York, N.Y.) paced the Engineers with a 9-5 performance while classmate Ana Escalante (Los Angeles, Calif.) had a mark of 7-8. Junior Julia Kimmerly (Middlesex, Vt.) contributed a total of 2-7 as freshman Rebecca Shi (Plainsboro, N.J.) rounded out the squad with a tally of 1-5.
Next up for MIT (12-10) will be the Beanpot at Harvard University on Tuesday, Feb. 14.

After exhibition games at Louisville, a 2-0 loss, and Trevecca Nazarene, a 4-0 win, the Bisons will face Georgia State at 6.
"In the first game at Louisville we had some questions about preliminary things such as how we were going to play and how certain guys were going to fit in," Bisons' coach Charles Morrow said. "We were able to answer those questions against Louisville.
"In the Trevecca game we were able to implement our system of play more. We were able to put different guys in different roles within that system. And hopefully, in this last scrimmage, we will be able to see more of what we think will be our first team next weekend at Southern Methodist."
The Bisons have spent a great deal of the preseason emphasizing the defensive aspects of the game.
"We feel good about the defensive area," Morrow said. "We have spent more time working in the attacking third. We would like to see more of that against Georgia State."
Morrow points out that a lot of players have shown the abilities to do good things, but he is looking for more consistency.
"We pretty much know at this point what we've got and what we are working with," Morrow said. "There is a lot of promise from some guys who can step in and help us right away. And there is some promise with some guys who aren't quite there, but they have it within themselves. It will be interesting to see how they develop over the next two months."
Forward Miguel DaSilva is not a newcomer to the team, but his health has been a concern in preseason as he recovers from offseason surgery. Morrow likes the progress he is seeing from DaSilva.
"Miguel got an ugly goal against Trevecca," Morrow said. "It was a pretty typical Miguel goal.
"He has some goals that are pretty. But when he is healthy and he is scrapping he is a disturber. He disturbs defenses and creates turnovers. He is getting closer to where he needs to be this season."

I was there too...and by the way I was the one who asked the questions about how they coped returning home and what they did on their auditions to get cast, plus they threw in a third question of mine...way too cool!Lucy in real life is so tall, easy 6ft and she was wearing flats (her beautiful mum, Anna, was there too and she is teeny tiny, their other sister Rosy was there as well and she looks so much like Lucy) and as Racer said most of the racers are all really tall, especially the girls, the twins looked like giant plastic Barbies. Donna looked gorgeous, and she is seriously funny. I've been speaking to Lucy a lot on their Facebook page and I couldn't believe when I saw her there taking photos with someone and she said 'I wonder if Sash is here'. WHAT!!! I put my hand up and she squealed my name and dragged me in for a pic, then said to Emi, this is Sash, and Emi squealed my name...surreal! Then to top it off they mentioned me twice in the screening, one time getting the audience to cheer for me! I can so die happy now...well after I've been on the race myself that is.Fab night!
Okay, I will shut up after this but I just remembered a funny thing. I was right next to Kym and Donna when someone told them to go in the theatre before everyone starts piling in so me and my friend start going in too. All of a sudden Donna turns around not ten foot from the cinema door that is open and says to me, 'where do we go?'...I said, it's Dubai all over again, and pointed to the door.

Earth : Europe : France : Southeastern France : Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur : Bouches-du-Rhône : Marseille
Marseille (Latin: Massilia) is the second most populated city of France (and third most populous urban area) the biggest Mediterranean port and the economic hub of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
Marseille has a complex history. Also known as Port d`Afrique, it was founded by the Phoceans (from the Greek city of Phocaea, now Foça, in modern Turkey) in 600BC and is one of the oldest cities in Europe. The town is a far cry from the Cézanne paintings and Provençal clichés of sleepy villages, "pétanque" players and Marcel Pagnol novels. With around one million inhabitants, Marseille is the second largest city in France in terms of population and the largest in terms of area. Its population is a real melting pot of different cultures. It is also said that there are more Comorian people in Marseille than in the Comoros! Indeed, the people of Marseille have varying ethnic backgrounds, with a lot of Italians and Spanish having immigrated to the area after the second world war.
For people not afraid to discover a real place with real people, Marseille is the place. From colourful markets (like Noailles market) that will make you feel like you are in Africa, to the Calanques (a natural area of big cliffs falling into the sea - Calanque means fjord), from the Panier area (the oldest place of the town and historically the place where newcomers installed) to the Vieux-Port (old harbor) and the Corniche (a road along the sea) Marseille has definitely a lot to offer.
Forget the Canebière, forget the "savon de Marseille" (Marseille soap), forget the clichés, and just have a ride from l'Estaque to Les Goudes. You will not forget it.
Get in
By plane
Marseille-Provence International Airport (IATA: MRS) is located about 30km from Marseille. Buses, taxis and now train connect in less than 30 minutes. Shuttle services from other European cities have made more places available from Marseille.
By train
The main train station is Marseille St. Charles. It is well-linked to the rest of the city, as the two subway lines and many buses stop there. It is a short walk away from the Canebière and the Old Port. Beware that the station is located on a small hill : if you decide to go the station by foot, you will have to climb a series of steps that could prove very unappealing, especially if you carry heavy pieces of luggage.
Marseille has TGV lines to Paris (3 hours) and Lyon (1h45), Nice (2h), Strasbourg (5h35), Frankfurt (7h45), Geneva (3h30) and to Brussels (5h).
From Barcelona, there is a connection to Cerbère, from which there are regular trains to Marseille; also a night train.
By bus
Eurolines has many connections all over Europe. From Marseille there are at least direct connections to Barcelona, Prague and Tangier. The bus station is next to the main train station, the St. Charles Station at Rue Honnorat. You get access through Platform N in the train station. There is also a temporary office at Platform N.
There is also an Eurolines office on the 3 Allée Léon Gambetta; If you walk down the big stairs on the southside of the station, follow the road until you come to a squarelike intersection. The office is on your left hand.
By car
Marseille is very well connected to most French cities through numerous highways. As always in France those highways are expensive but practical, comfortable and fast. Marseille is around 8 hours from Paris by car, 2 hours from Nice, 1h30 from Montpellier, 4 hours from Toulouse and 3 hours from Lyon. However, be aware that driving in the city centre is a nightmare - park your car somewhere safe and stick to public transport whenever you can.
By boat
Marseille has a big harbour. There are direct ferry routes from Marseille to Ajaccio, Bastia, Porto Torres, Porto Vecchio and Propriano. There are several piers at the harbour, so it is advisable to check well in advance from which pier you are departing.
Get around
By bus, tram and underground
Marseille is served by a relatively good public transport system, the Régie des Transports de Marseille RTM comprising 2 underground railway lines (métro), 2 tram lines and 74 bus lines. If you have any mobility problems, are in a wheel chair or have a child in a push chair, you should be aware that almost every métro station has steps in it somewhere and some will have several flights of stairs - stick to the trams and buses which are a better option.
Tickets for buses and the métro can be bought in cafés, at subway stations, or on the bus; it's best to buy a multi-journey ticket (carte libertés) at €13 (10 trips), which are not sold on buses. The number of transfers is unlimited (including the return journeys) within the one-hour limit between the first boarding and last transfer on all the network (you must validate with each entry to the bus). Since April 2013, the subway and tram systems stop running every morning at 00:30. Most bus routes do not operate after 21:00 or so, although a limited network of night buses (Fluobus) operates with infrequent service (only about every 45-60 minutes or so) until about 00:30 or so. Using a taxi is recommended if you need to travel after 21:00.
The Pilote website, includes all the bus, tram and metro schedules but is easier to read than the RTM sites. Moreover, this site repeats the schedules of the majority of transport in common routes around the wider region (tram, interurban buses, regional trains [TER]) and makes it possible to search for journeys in Marseille and the nearby communes.
Airport transfers are available for €8.50 each way to and from Gare Saint Charles. Tickets may be bought at the cabin between Hall 1 and Hall 3/4 of the main terminal and at a separate kiosk in the new Gare Routière, after Voie [Platform] N in the Gare St Charles. The bus runs every 20 minutes on 10, 30, and 50 minutes past the hour. The ride is about 30 minutes. The bus says Navette Aeroport - Gare St Charles on it. From Gare St Charles, the métro can get you to most hotels.
Metro tickets allow unlimited transfers onto a bus or tram within 1 hour of initial use for the base €1.50 fare but does not include re-entry (1 hour limit) to the métro. A daily ticket (carte journée) costs €5.00.
By boat
A Ferry Boat crosses the Old Harbour (Vieux Port). It is a tourist attraction in itself known as the shortest commercial boat ride in Europe.
By car
Avoid taking your car if you possibly can. Marseille, at least the centre, has narrow streets, one-way streets, random lane changes and so on which can drive both locals and non-locals crazy. The local drivers have a well deserved reputation for fearlessness - particularly if they are on two wheels. In addition, Marseille has some of the lowest parking fines in France - parking fines are rarely enforced and consequently you will find cars parked (and sometimes double parked) everywhere.
Due to the new tunnel that is being built to try to alleviate some of Marseille's traffic problems, satellite navigational systems such as the Tom Tom are likely to be out of date and dangerous if followed. For instance, following a Tom Tom in the centre of Marseille could take you across newly installed pedestrian areas or Tram lines. The one-way system has also completely changed.
By taxi
Be careful of rogue taxi drivers. While there aren't many, there are a few and a €20 ride can quickly become a €40 ride. If you think you've been cheated get the taxi driver's number (located in the rear of the car, often on the window) and go to the Tourist's Office at 4, La Canebière (near Le Vieux Port) and speak to a representative, they can and will get your money back if you've been ripped off. They will also get the taxi driver in significant trouble.
By Bicycle
Marseille has the excellent le vélo [25] cycle hire scheme in place but there are basically no cylce paths and the few that are there are usually filled with pedestrians or parked cars which makes cycling in Marseille a rather dangerous affair. The vélo scheme costs 1 euro for a week's subscription. Each time you hire a bike, the first 30 minutes are free, then each hour costs 1 euro. Note that there is a 150 euros deposit which will be charged if you don't return the bike properly.
Outside of town
Cultural Events
As European Capital of Culture 2013, Marseille is planning great cultural changes and events for the coming years. However, this does mean that many of the museums and galleries are currently closed for refurbishment (in 2012). So far, the main cultural events are:
Night Life
There are many small bars in Marseille and especially in Vieux-Port. These are good places to meet up with friends after work or class to have a couple of drinks. Drink prices are relatively cheap, between 3 euros to 7 euros a drink, and service is good.
This three room cave like club, is a great place to go if you like to listen to different types of music. One room or cave, plays hip hop, rap, and reggae, another room plays techno and dub step, and the last room plays classic rock. The drink prices range from 5 euros for a mixed drink or well beer to 10 euros for more quality alcohol.
Le Cosy Bar is a club aimed at the younger demographic. This is a multi-roomed club, plays top music in techno, dub step, hip hop, and reggae til 6:00am. Le Cosy Bar is know for their extravagant theme nights such as Moscow Beach, where everyone's attire is mixed between winter wear and beach clothes, and Soiree Pyjamas, where everyone dressing in pajamas. The drink prices are between 5 euros and 10 euros, like most of the other night clubs in the area.
Le Bazar is situated near one of Marseille's beautiful beaches. Inside, there is a large dance floor with smaller sections with couches and tables. The floor of the club overlooks the bottom dance floor and is a place usually go to be in a quitter surrounding. The DJs play top techno, dub step, hip hop, and reggae. Drink prices here are a bit cheaper than most clubs (4 euros to 8 euros).
Le Mystik is a chic club located near avenue de luminy. The attire is upscale and the club attendees are mainly in the age group of 23 to 27. Le Mystik's DJ plays the top hits in techno, dub step, hip hop, and r&b until 4:30am. The drinks prices range from 8 euros to 12 euros for a single drink.
Le Flamingo is another one of Marseilles upscale clubs. Its pink lights give this three bar club a calm and soothing feel. The DJs here play the top techno and dub step hits. Prices for drinks range from 8 euros to 12 euros.
The Greeters are committed to offering a hospitable welcome, familiarizing visitors with their city and fostering friendly encounters and exchanges.
Marseille is home to many universities and has a reputation for great education. The universities have a wide array of focuses from art to business.
Religious Centers
Unsurprisingly, Marseille's cuisine is focused on fish and seafood. Its two flag-bearing specialities being the famous fish broth "bouillabaisse" and "aïoli", a garlic sauce served with vegetables and dried cod.
La Bouillabaisse de Marseille
La bouillabaisse is an excellent fish-based soup served with la rouille (a garlic-saffron sauce) and bread similar to crostini. La bouillabaisse cannot be enjoyed at any budgetary level. If you are invited to the home of someone making bouillabaisse, then you are in the clear. Never eat cheap bouillabaisse at a resto unless it's not called bouillabaisse; only eat it out if you have to reserve in advance. Bouillabaisse is a meal...first the soup, then the fish.
There are lots of Kebab restaurants along the Canebière. Many cheap, authentic couscous eateries are to be found around the Cours Belsunce, where the local Maghrebic immigrants have their lunch.
Many affordable restaurants with sunny terraces are to be found on Cours Julien, a pedestrian-only street near the Canebière and the "Plaine"
Le Vieux Port has WiFi access, available from many of the bars and restaurants, and in some places in the street (although there are not many places to sit). The ESSID to use is "Marseille sans fil" and the network is not encrypted. When you first connect, your browser will take you to a web page about the service in French: simply click on "Cliquez ici" ("Click here") on that page to use the network freely.
Note WiFi is pronounced wee-fee or wiffy in French - even by English speakers. Asking for Why-Fye will usually be greeted by a blank look.
Stay safe
Note that there are many reports of muggings and pickpockets so avoid carrying valuables and always watch your surroundings, like in most cities. You will want to stay away from Gare St Charles and the upper part of La canebière at night. Most of the northern neighbourhoods, known as "quartiers nords", are sensitive areas and should be avoided by tourists.
The area around Boulevard Michelet thrives with prostitutes and should be avoided on soccer nights, as you can meet potentially angry and drunk Olympique de Marseille hooligans.
When driving a car, make sure the doors are locked. There have been occurrences of motorcyclists opening the doors of cars while the driver is sitting in it, and quickly snatching the bags and valuables from the seats.
Overall the city is fairly safe, as is Paris, so there is no need for paranoia!

iD Expert Slip XL Extra
iD Expert Slip are All-in-One briefs which offer an effective solution for managing moderate to heavy incontinence. With a high absorption, the All-in-One provide the user with anti-leakage security and optimal comfort. They are particularly recommended for people with limited mobility or who are confined to bed.
|Fast Absorption
|The acquisition layer promotes the fast passage of urine through to a multi-layer absorbent core containing SAP (Super Absorbent Polymers). SAP is designed to absorb and lock urine inside the core of the pad, reducing the risk of rewetting
|Odour Control
|An odour control system present in the absorbent core prevents the formation of ammonia and thus of unpleasant odours
|Anti Leakage Protection
|Integrated anti leak cuffs made of waterproof material help to prevent side leakage, maintaining security and discretion
|Cotton Feel
|A soft textile back sheet provides maximum comfort and discretion
|Double Wetness Indicator
|The wetness indicators act as a guide for when to change the product
|Dermatologically tested
|ID products are dermatologically tested, and proven to not cause skin irritations
|No latex
|Our products are latex free
|Start by folding the iD Expert Slip in half lengthways and gently channel it by running your fingers underneath the back sheet. This activates the waterproof leg barriers.
|Pass the ID Expert Slip between the legs from front to back and fan out the ends, ensuring the top rear end is positioned at the coccyx. Make sure that the end with fixation tapes is placed at the back.
|Fix the bottom tapes in an upward position ensuring a secure fit around the legs. Fix the resealable top tapes in a downward or horizontal position to ensure a secure fit around the waist.
|Check for comfort and fit. Both the top and bottom tapes can be fixed either in an angled or straight position. They can also be refastened and re-adjusted if needed.
|Start by folding the ID Expert Slip in half lengthways and gently channel it by running your fingers underneath the back sheet. This activates the anti-leak cuffs.
|Centre the pad by using the wetness indicators as a guide and fan out at the back. Where possible, encourage the product between the patient's legs. Roll the patient onto their back and gently pull the product up through the legs ensuring the anti-leak cuffs remain activated , then fan out the front of the product
|Next, fix the bottom tapes in an upward position assuring a secure fit around the legs. Then fix the resealable top tapes in a downward or horizontal position to ensure a secure fit around the waist.
|Finally check for comfort and fit ( the tapes can be re-fixed and re-adjusted). Make sure the tapes are sticked correctly.

I sent this as a gift to my sister & her husband who own a home in Havasu and they absolutely loved it! They told me the quality of the photograph was stunning. My nephew, who usually has no opinions about art, loved it so much he wanted it for himself. I'm glad this metal print turned out to be as beautiful as shown online. I love Broderick Delaney's work and plan to buy more of it in the future. Thank you!

I would love to review this piece of artwork but we have not received this yet. We ordered this over a month ago; it was lost and then we received a package but it was not our piece of artwork so we had to refuse delivery. We have gotten nowhere with this order and we just want our picture that we paid for!!! Can anyone help us?? We have talked to so many people and have sent emails but to no avail. This has been the worst customer service EVER!!! We just want our piece of Artwork!!!
This is one of my most popular paintings! The scene is a real lake, but I have included 27 bears -- some hidden in the rocks and clouds. Everyone enjoys this image -- especially children. The Original Oil Painting is now Sold! However, I am offering 16 x 20 signed and numbered Limited Edition lithographs for sale for $45. They make a Perfect Gift! Please also see my New Painting: "Dancing Bears," "21 BEARS OF YOSEMITE VERNAL FALLS" and my "21 Coyotes of Sedona." Prints of this Art on canvas or paper would be a great choice for a children's room or other home decorating. These are available directly from the Artist, Signed. This is a popular gift, and it always brings a smile!
I am a self-taught artist and have been painting in oils for many years. At the same time my photography has developed following the same principles of composition and color. Much of my work has a "save the environment" theme and my inspiration comes from nature and visions of light and color. My interest in art began in the 5th grade with a remarkable teacher who, along with all the other subjects, made time for art and music every day. I am influenced by a diverse group of artists who have come before me -- from da Vinci and Dali to Monet and Lassen. This website has helped me reach an audience all over the world. I always have several projects going, and can't wait to start the next one! I hope you enjoy my art and can find a...

The Bachelor Wins 22 ICPA Honorsby Patrick McAlister '10 • March 31, 2008 Share:
In the middle of celebrating The Bachelor's 100th year, the paper has been honored with the most awards in its history.
Six staff members and Advisor Howard Hewitt attended the 50th Annual Indiana Collegiate Press Association (ICPA) Convention Saturday, a gathering of college media organizations where top notch publications receive awards in layout, photography, news, sports, opinion, features and a myriad of other categories.
The Bachelor took home a total of 22 awards with 8 first places. It also nearly won Publication of the Year honors, only being edged in its division by 2 points. Last year was the first time in several years that the staff entered the competition, so doing as well as it did came as a pleasant surprise.
"What a great day for the Bachelor staff," Hewitt said. "Last year we won nine awards after not participating for a couple of years and then this year we come within two points of being named Publication of the Year. The eight first places and 22 total awards reflect, not just on those who won, but the entire staff for the serious-minded way they have approached their participation.
"I just could not be prouder of the progress the Bachelor has made the past few years."
Positive feedback abounded for the staff as the judges recognized the hard work and raw talent of a small volunteer staff with no traditional collegiate journalism training.
The judges chose the 2007 Back to School issue as the Best Special Issue and Best Overall Design, stating that it was a "tremendous resource for students" as it was "chock full of information on issues, people to know and new instructors."
They made special note of sophomore Sports Editor Chuck Summers' sports page for the Back to School issue, stating that it looked "professionally designed, from the cutout photo to the 2007 Little Giant football schedule..." They went even further stating that it was "Outstanding work that would be honored with an award in any division of competition."
The staff also took home awards for news, opinion, features and sports writing. It noted that sophomore Chad Simpson's first prize winning opinion column "The problem with gay blood" noting that it was an "Uncompromising look at discrimination." Gary James' Best Breaking News Reporting on the Venis/Clerget election was said to be a "Timely account of an unusual election." Senior Editor in Chief Patrick Smith's winning In-Depth News Story about the faculty survey was considered an "Impressive job obtaining a document the administration didn't intend to release."
In addition to winning numerous awards as a publication, sophomore Patrick McAlister was elected by the convention as Vice President for Small Newspapers and will help plan future ICPA ventures.
Editor Patrick Smith noted that in spite of having just a small staff with no formal journalism training, the Bachelor has found a way to produce a critically acclaimed and informative product for the Wabash community – a testament to the College's liberal arts education.
"One has to remember that Wabash doesn't even really have a single class in journalism," Smith said. "It is really, keeping that in mind, a testament to the Bachelor and the sorts of fellows who work for the paper to receive these awards. Our rapid ascent in the standings shows, really, that the quality is there in the paper. The fellows, with neither course credit nor any substantial financial incentives, take the Bachelor very seriously, and our peers have recognized that.
"In a way, it reflects back on the College and the 100-year tradition of the Bachelor. We've been doing very well for ourselves since 1908, and these awards prove that we're going to keep doing so for some time to come. It just goes to show, finally, that the sort of education we receive at Wabash prepares us to excel even in areas that we don't teach here."
"I just could not be prouder of the progress the Bachelor has made the past few years.

A Pilot Study of the Safety and Activity of Escalating Doses of ON 01910.Na in Patients With Relapsed Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Related Lymphoid Malignancies
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00861510

- How to Read a Study Record
- Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM), and other lymphoid malignancies are all incurable lymphoid malignancies that mainly affect persons in their late 60s and early 70s. Conventional chemotherapy can achieve high rates of clinical response, but relapse following these responses is almost universal. Patients with lymphoid malignancies relapse because their tumor cells become resistant to chemotherapy; therefore, new types of drugs are needed for better treatment responses.
- The investigational drug ON 01910.Na has been shown to be active against MCL and CLL cells, but further research is needed to determine the most safe and effective dose for this drug.
- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (the highest dose that does not cause unacceptable side effects) of ON 01910.Na in patients with cancers of the lymphoid cells.
- To study the effects that ON 01910.Na has on cancers of the lymphoid cells.
- Patients 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with cancer of the lymphoid cells, and who have not been able to take or have not benefitted from existing treatment options.
- Evaluations before the treatment period:
- Full medical history and physical examination, and pregnancy test for women.
- Blood and urine tests.
- Disease evaluation with computerized tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electrocardiogram; bone marrow and lymph node biopsies; and skeletal x-rays, if clinically indicated.
- Treatment with ON 01910.Na:
- Different research subjects will receive increasing doses of ON 01910.Na to determine which dose is considered safe.
- To reduce the risk of one rare serious side effect of treatment for myeloid malignancies, patients will take allopurinol 12 hours before and 7 days after each drug infusion, one 300 mg pill each day.
- Cycles 1 2: Patients will be admitted to the clinical center for 2 days at the beginning of each cycle. Each cycle involves intravenous infusion of ON 01910.Na continuously for a period of 48 hours, followed by 12 days of observation. Researchers will try to maintain the schedule of 2 days of infusion every 14 days, but the interval between doses may be extended if patients experience delayed recovery blood counts.
- Cycles 3 4: Patients who are doing well and choose to continue may receive an additional two cycles (2 days of inpatient infusion followed by 12 days of outpatient observation). At the end of cycle 4, researchers will determine if the disease is responding to therapy. Patients who experience side effects may continue to take ON 01910.Na at a lower dose or may stop receiving the drug.
- Patients who respond well to four cycles of ON 01910.Na may be eligible for additional cycles of ON 01910.Na.
- Patients who need to start another medication to treat their disease will stop taking ON 01910.Na, and the researchers will perform a final study visit 2 weeks after the last dose of ON 01910.Na. After that, participation in the study will be complete.
|Condition or disease
|Lymphoma, Mantle-cell Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell Leukemia, Hairy Cell Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia Multiple Myeloma
|Drug: ON01910 Na
|Phase 1
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM) and the related lymphoid malignancies included in this protocol are all incurable lymphoid malignancies that mainly affect persons in their late 60s and early 70s. Conventional chemotherapy can be effective at achieving high rates of clinical response, but relapse following these responses is almost universal. Response rates in the relapsed setting are inferior due to acquired resistance of the tumor cells, and new therapies with novel mechanisms of action are needed. Our aim in this study is to specifically address the needs of these patients for whom few effective treatments are available.
Patients with lymphoid malignancies relapse due to acquired resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy agents and innovative targeted therapies which overcome these mechanisms of resistance are needed. One such investigational drug, ON 01910.Na, is a potent and selective inhibitor of the cell cycle and leads to reduction in cyclin D1 expression. In vitro, ON01910.Na shows activity against CLL and MCL cell lines with resultant cellular death. The overexpression of cyclin D1 in these related lymphoid malignancies provides a rationale for its use in selected patients with these conditions.
We therefore propose this non-randomized, pilot, dose-escalating Phase I study of ON 01910.Na in patients with MCL, CLL, MM and related lymphoid malignancies who have relapsed after or are refractory to standard therapy.
The primary objective is to determine the toxicity profile (including the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose) of ON 01910.Na when administered the first 2 (or amended later to 3) days of a 2-week cycle in escalating doses in patients with MCL, CLL, MM and related lymphoid malignancies.
The first cohort was dosed at 1200mg/m2/day times 2 days. The second cohort was dosed at 1500mg/m2/day for 2 days. Three subjects were enrolled into the third cohort at 1800mg/m2/day times 2 days. One subject completed the 1800mg/m2/ day times 2 days dosing scheme. Two subjects stopped study drug after the first dose due to progressive disease. The 3 subjects who received 1800mg/m2/day times 2 days will compose cohort 3. New safety data from the drug manufacturer lead to Amendment L, which changed the dosing from 48 hours to 72 hours. On November 18, 2010, the IRB approved Amendment L, which changed the dosing for the new cohorts 4 and 5 to 1800mg/day times 3 days, and 2100mg/day times 3 days, respectively.
Secondary objectives include, the biological effects of ON 01910.Na (for example cyclin D1 expression) on cell-cycle pathways of cells obtained from blood, lymph nodes or bone marrow, the toxicity profile of ON 01910.Na with subsequent dosing after 2 cycles of therapy, early indications of biologic activity after 4 cycles of therapy, evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of ON 01910.Na at the RPTD level, and indications of biologic activity during extended access (after 4 cycles (day 56)).
The primary endpoint will be the toxicity profile at each dose level through day 28 (cycle 2 day 14).
Secondary endpoints include the reduction in lymph nodes, quantification of circulating lymphoma cells, assessment of extranodal disease sites, and/or measurement of the malignant monoclonal proteins in the serum or urine after 4 cycles of therapy (day 56).
